While I nuked my LinkedIn about 8 years ago because I was 1-2 from 96% of Silicon Valley and spammed by un-targeted recruiters incessantly... more importantly, my contacts and I didn't talk so keeping it was meaningless performative business theater.
MAANG companies (excluding N) are requiring relocation and RTO (hybrid, near an office). Also, their tone has shifted to where their recruiters feel like they hold a monopoly on in the business relationship power dynamic.
Perhaps shrinking corporate real estate holdings of properties and lease should be prioritized over burdening employees with additional relocation, commuting, and housing costs.
Around 1981-1985, smog was quite bad in the SF Bay Area. It was a horrible brown-yellow.
I don't think most people appreciate how far away it is to reach Mt. Hamilton or how precarious the road up it is. Took a couple of gfs on drives up there.
I used to bike up Hicks Road near Mt. Umunhum.
Other good vantage points: the top of The Dish route behind Stanford and the observation deck of the de Young Museum.
Seems aligned with early Netflix culture of hiring and treating employees like adults rather than like children. They still appeared to be hiring remote employees as of September of 2023. [0]
Yep. While startup salaries are, and have always been, a joke, it's corporate cost of living adjustments (COLAs) that are a worsening joke when they fail to account for true COL differences. If a megacorp insists on relocating you from Austin, TX to Menlo Park, CA it should include a 75% TC raise or it would be a pay cut and wouldn't make economic sense. It's imperative that rational employees hold corporations accountable and refuse to be underpaid because not doing so hurts everyone else in the industry.
Step 0. Don't bother with obsolete Cat 6 or lower cable because it's just not worth the effort over Wi-Fi. If you're going to do it, buy a 1000' spool of CMP Cat 8 UPoE-rated premise wire (~$1000-$1500 USD), punch down tool, J boxes, punch down receptacles, semi-flexible plenum large conduit that doesn't have ridges, cable fish tape, wall-mounted quarter 19" rack, 90 degree drill and hole saw with various lengths of extensions (usually from about 1' to 10' or longer for tall walls), and a punch down patch panel.
Step 1. Run conduit and J boxes first to a central closet or to a garage in most instances. This is the labor-intensive, hard part but it makes running multiple cables through it much easier. Larger homes may need a second closet or second conduit hub area and more conduit to a main patch panel.
Step 2. Easily slide wire in using a fish tape, 1 to 4 cables per box depending on the location. It's so much easier with semi-flexible conduit.
Step 3. Test each cable using iperf3 with an RPi and laptop, or borrow a commercial 10GbE cable tester like a DSX2-8000.
Step 4. Drop in a 10 GbE U/POE++ switch that doesn't sound like a jet engine.
Option: Instead of, or in addition to, Cat 8 wiring, run fiber.
Nobody should use Cat8 for anything ever. For 10Gbps, Cat6 and Cat6A are plenty for residential distances. If you need longer distances, use fiber. Cat8 can be used for 40Gbps, but should use fiber at those speeds.
Also, it is much harder to run smurf tubes when retrofitting house than when the walls are open. Same with pulling Cat8 or fiber.
For that price, why not just run fiber?, once you have cables you can just upgrade to 25gbps/40gbps etc on same cables. You can get second hand data center equipment for upgrades for a long time as they keep upgrading and prices drop.
Those cat8 (?) cables seem like a large investment when whole point of cat cables was that they are cheap.
Came here exactly to say this. Single mode bidi fiber does not care about electrical interference, is cheap, super thin so easy to pull, future proof, and can carry up to 40GBps if you have the money. 10Gbps optics are quite cheap nowadays. You can also have LC or SC keystone jacks.
What do you use poe for inside the house?, outside I would assume cameras and those could be on a separate switch/network.
I run fiber to an outside poe switch with sfp+ that has a grounded power socket and from there poe, in case of shorted wires due to pests or lightning nothing dies in the house.
C. 2003-2011 between contracts, I used to offer high priced on-site datacenter hardware, OS (incl virtualization), and software support on Craigslist for anywhere from SF to San Jose, Newark, and Fremont. Some interesting incidents and profitable times.
A retail Windows license isn't the same as an enterprise Windows license. Retails Windows licenses started with ads for OneDrive and Office in Settings, but now that they're reverting to their old, shameless ways, they're putting ads everywhere else too for retail users.
With a Windows Enterprise license, all of the ads can be turned off, or at least that was the practice.
FYI: Meta is de-facto insisting on RTO and not offering a remote option for new employees.
This trend has nothing to do with productivity and is all about the egos of control-freak managers "maintaining control" over employees in a way that wastes employees' time and money and harms the company's reputation.
Meta has always, always always sucked at remote. The culture just doesn't support it. I worked from an office many timezones away from my team for a long time and it was incredibly difficult to be productive.
Platform-based, such as Squeak and Etoys (not eToys) or like with VMs such as JVM or BEAM.
The problem you describe is solved by introducing capabilities such as in seL4. Without beginning with a capability, something cannot do something else.
Thanks to letting me know Etoys (I know Logo, but never heard about Etoys before), about JVM: well, Java probably was born with the idea to repropose in Unix the old model, a JVM evolving toward and in-kernel VM with the userland and application sw onto it, a simple class/archives, networked of course "the network is the computer", but 99% probably never get such idea, they just choose Java because a big player of it's time like SUN have pushed an enormous amount on money on it and because "it look like C++ witch look like and improved C" the same reason probably that makes the first PHP popular. AFAIK nobody have really advertised Java as such tentative, so for most was just another programming language with interesting capabilities before, than another programming language with an enormous sw ecosystem (no matter if it's called Nexus or C*AN). Erlang have not seen a similar success because like Haskell it's awful to learn and have had no special advertisement. I know little about Erlang history, but I doubt Ericsson have had in mind something big/large like Java at SUN anyway.
About security yes, the classic model means a full trust, witch yes in the modern world is a big issue but not really that big because also means FLOSS even if back at Xerox that was not advertised at all and their target was commercials. FLOSS at scale means little room for hostile actors since the code born and evolve seen by many eyes, and while it's perfectly possible injecting malicious code (as the recent XZ attack show very well) it's hard to keep it unseen for long and even harder on scale since such ecosystems tend to be far less uniform/consistent than modern commercial OSes that are almost the official ISO with marginal changes per host.
About capacity: in my personal EXWM/Emacs desktop I can link an email (notmuch-managed) in a note (org-mode) and while composing an email I can preview inside it a LaTeX fragment or solve an ode simply because the system I'm in offer such functionalities without tied them to a specific UI, a set of custom APIs and limited IPCs (essentially just D&D and cut&paste, since Unix pipes, redirections etc are not in the GUIs), also in eshell I can use a different kind of IPC, like redirection to buffers, de-facto creating a 2D CLI, witch happen to be a GUI, a DocUI. Long story short we can do modern software with classic ecosystems, it's definitively time consuming, but doable and keep up the current Babel tower of pseudo-isolated bits it's not less time consuming.
I call such phenomenon a cultural clash: the modern model is the ignorant model where anyone can step in, like Ford-model workers just able to do 1/4 turn of a key, but doing anything a continuous struggle and anything learned is short living. The classic model is the cultural model, stepping in is long, demand effort but anything learnt is an investment for life and piled up knowledge pay back all the time making anything easier or at least far less hard than the ignorant model... Not, take a look at our society: we have schools, meaning a year long period of learning before being active in society, learning things that theoretically will be valid and useful for a lifetime. So, if in the society we try the acculturated model why not doing the same in the nervous system of our society witch is IT?
