The legalese around it is that it’s always contingent on your employment on those futures dates. It’s based on past performance, yes, but it’s not payment for past work (that’s what bonus is for), its incentive to stay longer and contribute to company’s success. When you are out of the door (for whatever reason) company looses need to incentivize you to:(

Alas this happens in all FAANG layoffs too, some lucky people get to received one more vest but nothing close to all unvested RSUs

One of those topics you randomly step into and cant stop reading. Maybe someone could recommend a book that goes along these lines?

It’s not a downside perhaps but a tradeoff. Implementing internal sampling profiler is not impossible in general (though it will depend on exact python implementation) but it would impose different overhead on the target and might skew results a lot more than external one.

Even when performance is not critical it’s possible to write (or vibe?) disastrously slow code, so having profiler handy is always a plus. It might be a deciding factor between “we must rewrite it all in Rust” and “oh we added exponential complexity by accident” and save a ton of time

Micro nit: it says 7ms cold start and then 6ms just few lines lower.. maybe it gets faster as you read README

“Understanding X” with 3-story high equations don’t always go hand in hand

There’s something off about gps coordinates in EXIF data

He also wrote (or at least started) midnight commander!

I thought Eric Traut was famous for his pioneering work in virtualization, TIL he has Pyright fame too !

It will probably be microLED rather than OLED in current form

Given that EU tech salaries are a lot more tame, it would be interesting to see how 600m were even used. Hopefully there’s some good R&D there and not some French alps retreats and Porches for founders

Good article but seems strange that author benchmarked debug builds first, that’s a huge “no-no” in any perf tweaking and it’s clear that authors knows this well

Requires email to view anything, that’s sad

Id expect his comp even before Intel to be way above that (he came from Netflix), perhaps levels info is not entirely correct for Intel or doesn’t apply to exceptional hires, fellow level compensation at FAANG seems to be more accurate there though

And how did I contradict that? My point was that he is not looking for vanity

Not being sarcastic here, a million a year is not a target compensation for engineer like him, 5-7 is probably where it starts and goes to the stars

Does he need it though? His name is literally a brand in many tech circles and very good brand at that

Sorry for nit but embassy is not a RTOS (or any OS), its a framework

Have you seen our debt recently?..

I may have read your comment backwards but it seems rather wrong: react native DOES use native UI components, thats why it has “native” in its name. It’s also not compiled ahead of time per se, you still execute JS in the app (not in webview, yes) , but its mapped to native components

I expected *nix file system diagrams of some sort :) but this might be even better

Any non paywalled links, please?

It almost reads as a cliffhanger, the regression was caused by commit that seemed to be related to fixing synchronization issue , so I assume just plain revert wasn’t an option

Mind it, mobile browsers seem to be having hard time with this, which is probably expected

I wonder how much intended audience for these chips cares about “elite” and “ultra-premium” buzz wording. I’m sure it’s a good chip but cmon, it’s not for TikTok watching..

There’s something unsettling about AI agents being able to perform “machine learning” as per feature list

I could have told you that for a lot less than 50 mil!

The distance from front wheel to the end of the beak is impressive, its sooo engine-side heavy I guess. Curious if it requires a lot more tender landing procedure
