That's basically the opposite of what "introversion" means. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraversion_and_introversion#...

Meh. I thought this would be something cool like 110 rules. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_110
You sounded very defensive. I think the article is just trying to clear up some misconceptions on what people typically think of Introverts, and the notion that only Extroverts make successful Entrepreneurs. Instead, both Introverts and Extroverts have something to bring to the table.

When I first started on my current role, we were required to undertake a five-day leadership `bootcamp`. It's meant for superintendents (i.e. team leaders), in which the primary objective is to identify our own communication / working styles and recognising others.

This was done through various tests (e.g. Myer-Briggs) and team exercises. The whole week is spent to prepare us to manage our team and work effectively in a team with people from various backgrounds.

A good explanation that was given during the bootcamp, was that Extroverts draw their energy from their surroundings (external), e.g. feedback from other people, whilst Introverts draw it internally.

Introverts can be very sociable and `work the room` just like Extroverts, it's just that it takes more effort for them as compared to extroverts.

TL,DR; There is a misconception of what Introverts and Extroverts are. Introversion vs Extroversion are simply traits and not mutually exclusive.
Not everything has to be done following the rules, sometimes the best things come out when you don't care about the rules.
In my oppinion there is truth to it, big part of top management positions are filled with extraverted people because they are most likely to speak before everyone else. While introverted people like to take their time to think about it.

Like the article said, introverted people are better leading self-motivated employees who don't need a lot of direction. Which means he has more time to focus on the things that matter.

Ugh, the clumsy/non-standard naming of the 64-bit variant irritates me. AMD64, x86_64, x64, EM64, "Intel 64" (not Intel Architecture 64, although x86 is Intel Architecture 32), etc.
And ARM have now done something similar for "AArch64".
I agree that auto update should be the default. But people who are scared of clicking "yes" on an upgrade are not the ones who will go into the registry or edit Windows group policy settings to prevent updates.

I think what Google tries to do is to prevent sysadmins from doing with Chrome what they did with IE in the past. The average sysadmin loves to freeze things because that reduces the number of variables that matter for troubleshooting.

> how difficult would it be to add multiple cursors and selections to Prosemirror? I notice that currently the Prosemirror collaboration demo does not show cursors or selections, which is pretty key to a great user experience.

If you mean Sublime Text-style multiple cursors, that'd be very hard. CodeMirror's contentEdtiable-base mobile backend does support them, but that's only possible because it already contains a full implementation of cursor/selection for the non-mobile version.

If, on the other hand, you mean showing the cursors from other people working on a collaborative document, that isn't very hard, it just involves inserting widgets and marked ranges at the right places.
Edit: This is probably too negative of a comment. It's just years

Par for the course, I think. :)
Thing is, that underlying problem may be in a system that's out of anyone's direct control. Case in point: a clinical system which occasionally pops a memory leak and needs a bounce. The leak turns out to be a known bug in a library - not their code. And it's fairly elderly so it's not been or going to be fixed.

I mean, it shouldn't happen, but if "should"s were horses I'd have a ponyburger for brunch.

Heya. I'm the editor of Ars Technica UK, where this story was originally published.

It's not native advertising. The author just really likes the 911. Ars doesn't do native advertising/advertorial. We do some sponsored stuff, but those posts are clearly marked.
So the target market is .. high mips/watt microcontroller or DSP?

If you have fully software managed memory it sounds like any binary running on the system has full access to any other memory? This is kind of the opposite of ARM "TrustZone".

Edit: I'm just asking these questions because novel architectures tend to sink without trace and the small-system world is currently dominated by ARM. You need a real "wow" factor to get people to change their tooling.

OP here. Agree there probably isn't much benefit to minifying server-side code. However, I wouldn't be surprised if things like Closure Compiler were useful server-side.

Not convinced that HTTP2 will eradicate minifiers; it makes bundling files less useful, but minifying still gets rid of bytes. Then again, I'm not a web performance expert. :)
Interesting that New Zealand's MetService/Metra is in the running. New Zealand is an island like the UK, so weather forecasting is difficult here too. MetService currently supplies the BBC's weather graphics.

Why would HTTP2 eradicate the minifier? It seems completely orthogonal to minification.
"Computers in shoes" has a history. People might be interested in "The Newtonian Casino" / "The Eudaemonic Pie" - the true story of a bunch of hackers built a computer in a shoe to predict where a roulette ball would land. In early 1980s.

I've lived in the UK my whole life and was not even aware forecasts could be reliably accurate so far in advance!
The Earth's diameter is ~13000 km. Surface area is therefore 4 * pi * r^2 = 4 * pi * ((13000/2)^2) = 500 million square kilometres (which is, as you say, about 200 million square miles).

I suspect the parent is both confusing a million with a trillion and also miles with kilometres.

I always thought that Oracle was too expensive for pretty much everyone, but it says a lot when a Big Company dumps a Big Database vendor and moves to Oracle to save money.
There is a bug in the modal code. It scrolls to top of page when you click the launch modal button.

Annoying for the user to have to scroll down. Also visually annoying, personally I got very distracted when it scrolled to the top like that.

Not sure if Elemental UI is a competitor to bootstrap. But if you are happy with bootstrap, then the react bootstrap library is fine. And the modal is very concise and fluid. https://react-bootstrap.github.io/components.html
The value of power cycling is to determine how intermittent the problem is.

If the problem only ever occurs once and power cycling fixes it then that is effectively a permanent fix.

If it comes back next year and power cycling fixes it again, you know there's something wrong but it probably won't be an actual problem for any practical purposes unless it gets worse.

If you find yourself to need to power cycle every month or every week or even worse, increasingly more often, chances are you're going realize that the root cause must be investigated and fixed in a matter or months or weeks or even days.
Yeah, of course, there's a real valuation bubble going on. I don't think we'll see twitter going anywhere, too - it's a good product after all. But maybe returning to its real size in terms of worth, number of employees and spending.
Yes, you set your own rate - but if you live in a larger western Europe/North America city, you will never be able to receive anything approaching the normal daily rate or salary that you could find locally.

For the (automated) tests - I've never had need to do anything like them at work in over 20 years of professional software development. Unsurprisingly to me, I utterly failed them - but told them I've that, and so went through anyway. Other parts of the testing were better - the 'live coding' (ie, having someone keep an eye on you as you wrote code on screen) was fun and relatively simple, but a lot more like reality of a day to day role.

The final step took me a full two weeks to learn a whole new framework for a 'single page application' - again, something that I do not specialise in at all, or have ever done before. They appeared to simply see it running, and that was the final pass to allow me to create a profile on the Toptal site.

Half the roles listed are still unfilled after a couple of weeks. I suspect that a number of them end up just wanting someone really cheap - but Toptal doesn't do cheap - not with a ~50% markup over the developer cost. I've had a number of jobs applied for simply never come back with any status and they eventually time out. Only very rarely do I recognise any company names for the new jobs they list - certainly none of the ones they promote that are their current clients show up.

So, if you are a NodeJS, Laravel, Rails, Wordpress, IOS, or Android developer - and don't expect to be paid well, compared to the 'top 3% in the world' - then it might be worthwhile taking a few weeks to apply. Otherwise, it will not pay what you're worth.
There's something wrong with the routing on that page. Whenever I open a link in a new tab it redirects to the home page. The same behavior when I type http://elemental-ui.com/css in my address bar and hit enter, it opens the homepage. Only clicking a link on the homepage gets me to the css page.
That's correct. I did not discover vulnerabilities in existing libraries or add backdoors to any of them. :)

The attack scenario described in the post is (1) attacker writes some plausible-looking patches to an existing library like jQuery, (2) attacker convinces library maintainer to merge the patches, (3) someone builds the library with a buggy minifier, which creates the actual backdoor.

It sounds to me that the author is simply not a good fit for the job.

It would appear that someone who is a graduate student in literature doesn't think that they were put on this earth to serve food to others. Hence he's just projecting his dissatisfaction with poor career choice on the people he is supposed to serve.

"Introversion" doesn't mean not doing these things, nor being unable to do them. It's about preference and perception.
For my very first role, the client didn't pay. They paid me the full rate - but then told me that was an error on their part. So now I owe them $1500. If I do ever get a new gig, they will likely take that off the top before I see it.

I'm interviewing elsewhere, locally, for my regular daily-rate/salary.

Warren Buffett is certainly not an introvert if you've ever seen him speak, and his history also suggests he's not an introvert. He was a door-to-door salesman as a young man.

Introverts can be great speakers and very social beings. It's just that doing so bears a cost that extroverts never understand.

Introversion manifests itself in that interacting with people and presenting yourself in the public will drain your energy levels. Introverts need to recharge themselves alone (or with immediate family only) for a few days after being overly social. If Buffett would just prefer to stay home and do his own things for a couple of days after presenting at each of his quarterly reports, he's likely to be an introvert.
At Microsoft Steve Ballmer played the role of the extravert. He was the guy who went out and sold and sold hard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvHNNOLnCk

I think his contribution to the early Microsoft was underrated. But I think Gates realized it. Maybe that is the real reason why he replaced Gates. But lacking a trusted tech partner to tell him when he was wrong might explain the Ballmer record as CEO ;<).

The key is that allegedly "overvalued" companies (like Uber say)are still under private investment which has a larger appetite for risk. Whereas in the last boom, most of the speculation were fueled by publicly traded tech stocks.

I think (purely from experience) that introverts are naturally shy, but they might not actually be shy.

Most of the people I know who have 'made it' are the CTOs not the CEOs, but that's started to change since getting into e.f. and running CertSimple.

I met someone who runs one of the top 1000 websites a few weeks ago. Their company is beyond startup size but they still run it. They're the CEO not the CTO, and they're naturally very shy: but they also force themself to ask awkward questions and challenge people directly about non-technical things.

I never said that.

Being introverted makes it harder to do these things, because they don't come naturally.

Finding ones optimum billing rate is nontrivial. It's true that testing the market is far easier for freelances than for employees. But having less overhead still helps. You can quote lower when you're idle, and higher when you're busy. Indeed, you can even take more risk quoting high, because you can better afford to forgo work.
That is very good to know!
I'd consider it a kind of revenge. Previously we had to deal with an unwelcome invasion of SQL into the areas it's not suitable for, now the SQL guys have to fence off an invasion of document-, graph-, hierarchical- and whatever else models.

Once dust is settled on this battlefield, the world will become a better place, where more people are aware of their tools limits.
I think it is simply a business thing. For most businesses time to market is more important than performance or correctness. If you prefer working for performance or correctness, try a conservative niche: compiler, realtime, HPC, etc

I've found that Weather Underground[0] seems to be more accurate than most - not sure if this is actually the case or it's just a perception thing though (I believe they "crowd-source" the sensors somewhat, in that people can install relevant hardware and software at home to provide meteorological data, and also the app asks for feedback if the current weather data is correct or not)! I trust it enough to decide whether to bring a coat or not for that day - as others have mentioned, I had no idea the relative accuracy of forecasts in the UK is lower than elsewhere, interesting!

Even more useful would be "who doesn't care" - my GP's modus operandi is "tell me what to write in the notes, I've got a tee booked". Nearly died because of his negligence, and I've heard the exact same tale from others.

As an extreme example of power cycling, I was refactoring a slow function in some simulation code and replacing some hash-based look ups with some pointer arithmetics.

I must have spent several hours writing and re-writing that function, and I still couldn't get the tests to pass. I went over all the code character by character, debugging, etc, and I just couldn't figure out where it wasn't working. Eventually, I just nuked all the work I did that morning, rewrote that entire routine from scratch, and it worked perfectly.

Neither. It's just such a habit to type miles. I meant 510 trillion square _meters_, which google and wolfram alpha tell me is correct.

In any case.. the reason I chose that is because that's probably close to a reasonable maximum single pixel resolution for tracking imagery. I wanted the scope of the problem to be obvious by choice of units; unfortunately, I screwed that part up. :(

A task/context switch involves dumping the entire contents of the registers and caches, loading the new values and resuming execution of the other task. It most likely messes up your pipeline - it's several orders of magnitude slower than just executing a simple instruction.

We've got Rufous and Anna's hummingbirds.

I think the cooperation comes almost as a phase transition, when the density of hummingbirds gets high enough, there's less of an advantage to chasing off a rival because there's always another bird to grab the spare feeding spot. So the most aggressive ones 'boil off' and the less aggressive ones 'solidify' around the feeder. There's still competition for the favored perches a little ways back from the feeder, but that's where the density is lower.
