>>That doesn't mean you can't give wide berth.

You can't give wide berth because most bike lanes in the US don't have enough space.

And let's face it: would you rather risk getting hit by someone opening their car door, or getting clipped by a vehicle moving at 40 mph plus?

This isn't climate science, we could see the economic effect immediately. That is simple enough for most people to draw a connection. I think the problem is more that some people want to hurt the US IT industry for political gain.
Perhaps Americans are more diligent in tracking down bad actors?
You've listed things that make him not an A player in your mind, can you list the things that would indicate he is one? Can you objectively compare that list to some A players and back test your assumptions?

My biggest problem with the "A" player mythology is that I don't think anyone has any real way to judge it, so "A" player becomes "looks like me". Which I think is the heart of our industry's myriad issues.
Something about that just strikes me as beyond creepy, regardless of whether it's for "security" or not.
Hey can someone explain this position? You see it a lot on the internet - we all know it's just short for the mouthful of "The United States of America", right?

Is it just garden variety anti-Americanism, or is it based on something else? You also see the form "American means anyone from both continents," which is off in exactly the same way.
Not much. The US had demonstrated vast industrial capability prior to WW2 and had long since passed Britain, Germany and France as the world's largest economy and manufacturing center. It had also proven itself as one of the primary centers of invention prior to WW2 and throughout the industrial revolution. The US expansion west and the further development of cities including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle and others, is another example of how the US still had a lot of growth left just to fill into its own territory regardless of WW2.

The present alignment of global economies has seen the US return to a normalized position in terms of both GDP and manufacturing share globally. The temporary artificial expansion after WW2 lasted for roughly 40 years. During that time, the US spent vast treasure protecting other nations, rather than annexing territory or attempting to conquer other nations and plunder their resources (eg: Western Europe, Germany, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan).
You have options...

Join a rapidly growing organisation and help other people to do their jobs better. You will be a manager before you know it.

Alternatively move company and apply to be a manager and probably say you had more management experience than you really do. I'm sure at 35 you've had to coach some people to be better and do interviews, these can be highlighted.

Do not tell your boss you want his job/to be a manager because anything you ever do that makes her feel threatened from then on will be noted and used against you. People move companies to gain good promotions for a reason.
Beautiful illustration and execution. I was hoping for a bit of discussion on tools used to create this. Looks like it makes clever use of three.js.
A large part of it but it's ww1 that really sealed the deal: http://online.wsj.com/ww1/wall-street
That doesn't mean as much as it sounds like it does, though. Suppose an organization has $100 of "houses only" money, and another $100 of "general fund" money, $20 of which is also spent on houses. Now say I donate $5 of my own money to "houses only". There is absolutely nothing stopping the org from (and arguably nothing wrong with) reducing the "general fund" spending on houses by $5, so that the ultimate amount that goes to houses is unchanged.
This limit is anything but arbitrary. There's a few things to keep in mind:

- This code was written for the XBox 360 which only has 512MB of memory.

- Because the game was made for a console, it needs to go through the notorious Xbox certification process. This involves running the game for hours at a time at maximum load to ensure no memory leaks exist and that the game runs at a consistent 60 fps.

- Games are not the same as long-living applications. They are made on a project basis. There are constant trade-offs where good enough is the correct decision.

- This is a port, so there's care to be taken in reducing the footprint of changed code.

It's unfortunate that this particular bug wasn't found before release but I think the root cause wasn't necessarily this pool size being low but instead insufficient testing.
Thanks for your work on their behalf and your optimistic message.

Even a bit of progress or positive change is priceless.
Looks like crypto is becoming a "platform". Worth looking into.
Dang, didn't notice that until you pointed it out. Yes, that is really cool.

Also, love the little animated cats along the path. At one stop, I saw an 'old lady' cat off to the left of the screen moving fast towards my tram. Perhaps she was rushing to get on, but I took off on my next leg of the journey regardless, and noticed that as soon as I started moving, she stopped running with a somewhat dejected slump to her stance. Probably totally random and coincidental, but I'd like to think she was trying to run and catch the tram and missed it!
"A Manager's Path" is outstanding on this topic: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XP3GJ7F/

Definitely recommended if you are considering making the transition - or if you are like me and just want a better understanding of how your manager works.

As an engineering manager, you'll need to put company first, team second and your team members third.

I disagree with this a ton. The best managers I've had flipped #1 and #2. When your team is performing, the company profits. Far too often I've seen the manager put the company way ahead of the team, and that leads to attrition within your team or a major lack of motivation.
Thanks, I learned something, though if they really were accounting for every byte, I'd say that function call obfuscation really didn't help! But I understand what you're getting at.
With the raging debate going on in Rust community about module system, it is clear they are still far from having well understood and usable module system for wider Rust community.
Because we have the right to vote at age 18! And since politicians decide who goes to jail, who fights in wars and where bombs dropped, deciding on the right person to vote for is hugely important. Normally we would take years to formulate opinions on what the right policies are. But the fact is we can vote at 18 when we are still in college with no life experience. So we spend four years voting on things we likely don’t understand. We are expected to know who to vote for, yet don’t really have the life understanding to make good choices. So we get used to making decisions and defending them even if we don’t really understand the subject matter. At least that’s what I think.
You probably know as well as I do that Godwin's law is almost as old as the internet itself.
I started by taking responsibilities for small teams and discrete portions of projects. From there, responsibilities expanded. Now I run a team of around 100 and focus most of my day on admin and training instead of actually creating work product. I like the role, but it's not for everyone. Managing is great when things are good, but can quickly get tough when things aren't.

Don't tell your boss you want their job. Tell them you'd like to have an opportunity to contribute in a greater capacity and how you can do that. If there's something specific that thrills you, ask to do that. Put 100% into making sure that thing gets done well.

He combines words and images in a style that inspired Wired magazine. The book is about the influence of technology on how and what humans communicate and think.

Your guests will be flipping the book upside-down and looking at the reversed image in a mirror at times. It's entertaining as well as informative!

Well the obvious answer is "Yes" but I am honestly uncertain whether it can be done while maintaining current profit margins which is was always the real issue.

A well-educated farmer, focused on a plot of land that is meant to be kept for generations without a profit focus can certainly do it. I suspect if you try to scale this process up, the issue is its more expensive if you were a corporation who has to pay a better educated class of labor to maintain soil quality.

Till, fertilize, water is alot simpler than trying to build an ecosystem that spans a 4000 acre plot of land.

I think until society values externalities more accurately, it is unlikely to catch on like so many other things that cost even a tenth of a percent of the overall corporate profit margin.

Argentina is a great place for ranching and certain crops, but it has very little mineral wealth. I would hazard that the two most likely reasons for South America's slow progress are that its colonies were attached to ailing empires, and that a rugged and challenging geography made unification difficult to unimaginable. American history has no analog to the horrific War of Triple Alliance, a historical microcosm of the continent's diplomatic challenges.
Are you an experienced dev who wants to get a BS degree?
Geography happened to South America, unlike North America, connecting the Atlantic Coast with Pacific Coast in South America is not easy and most of their navigation/transportation is along coastal roads.

These optimization opportunities aren't small gains. They have big consequences, for example when they cause code that would not be vectorized to be vectorized. Again, compiler authors don't add UB optimization for the fun of it. Patches to add theoretical optimizations that don't actually move the needle are routinely rejected from LLVM and GCC (as they should, because optimizations slow down compilation, so they need to pull their weight). Rather, they add UB optimization when code is shown to benefit, often the code that people come to their bug trackers with complaining that it doesn't optimize to what they expect.
Yes. I am not a big fan of affirmation but expecting to succeed after some effort will carry you through a lot of push back
more sensical approach to analysing this program, e.g. as employed by a human, would be to see that NeverCalled() is the only function that can write Do

It is not only non-trivial but also impossible (even) for a human to see if NeverCalled is ever called. Since NeverCalled is visible to other translation units, it can be called, for instance, by a global constructor before main is called.

Adapting thinkings such as

"I can't figure out how to optimise this, so I'll do the simplest thing that works."

will disable the compiler from many non-trivial optimizations. Consider eliminating a branch predicated on `w < w + c`: this expression can be, a check for signed-integer-overflow, coming from a macro-expansion and expected by the programmer to be eliminated, a result of constant-progagation, or a result of other optimizations.

Saying you have ideas but don't have time to make a better compiler only makes you an armchair compiler-writer.

A landmass and a continent: which bit of bloody great chunks of rock, soil, stuff etc are you having problems with?

You can do what you like but the continental plate it was performed on wont give a fuck. You could even destroy that continental plate or even the whole shebang but it will still not give a fuck.

That's because it's their own cars. The same people will complain about a burn ban during a dry summer, because it's their own yard waste they want to burn. But you want to put a developmental group home in the neighborhood and they freak out. There's no sense to it, just egoism.
I guess hazard (? that stabilizes) could be considered a kind of null too, even if it's more of a sign that you need to increase your clock cycle (or pipeline harder), than a sign of a logic error.

For me, when I think of an A Player, I think of people like Martin Fowler, Patrick McKenzie, Jess Frazelle. All have demonstrable track records, and share hugely detailed posts which are backed up with real experience and not vague insights.

They are sharing material that generates large amounts of value and helps define and shape their respective areas (such as Martin's piece on Serverless, Patrick's work helping support small vendors, Jess's "Containerize everything" post), and what they do share is clearly and cogently written without bullshit or hyperbole.

They are names that immediately come to mind when someone asks me "Do you know someone who is good on... ?"

Your premise isn't very well supported by the facts. The US added $5 trillion to its GDP in the last ten years, despite the great recession - a time in which the most powerful economies of Europe didn't grow at all, nor did Japan. US wages routinely grow three to five times faster than those in Japan, Germany, France or Britain.

Where's the lack of growth? GDP per capita went from $46,000x to $57,000x over those ten years and shows no sign of actually stopping, in contrast to most of its peers.

To put the growth in context, that $5 trillion is more than Russia, Germany, Japan, France, Britain, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Canada, Sweden, Finland, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Austria, Portugal, Greece, Poland, Czech, Romania, Slovakia, New Zealand, South Africa - all added combined.
The structure of the international red cross movement is a bit confusing. There are completely independent national societies in most countries (E.g. The American Red Cross), as well international organisations based in Geneva (The ICRC and the IFCR).

In the US, the phrase "Red Cross" often is used to refer to "American Red Cross", which is the national society who deliver blood services and local disaster response. They've come under some criticism for apparent lack of transparency around how donations are spent, and for allegedly having very high overheads.

The IFRC (International Federation) is an international organisation that facilitates cooperation between the independent national societies.

The ICRC (International Committee) is a large international organisation whose mandate derives from the Geneva Convention, and whose work is focussed on armed conflict. They work with war casualties, prisoners of war, refugees, civilian victims of all forms, on any and all sides of conflict. They also help coordinate disaster relief in lots of cases just because they have the organisational ability to do it. In my opinion they're among the most trustworthy organisations that you could give to.
The craziness for C optmizer tricks is in many cases plain phsycologic.

As an example, it doesn't matter that it does in 5ms what it takes to do in 15ms without the optimization, if in the end anything less than 20ms doesn't have visibile outcome.

Actually there is a remark from a famous compiler write (female), which I don't recal the name now, that C brough back into the stone age what the optimizers were already able to do for Algol family of languages.

This is visible in PL/8 research paper, a compiler that already used compiler optimization passes in the 70's, nowadays mostly common on LLVM.

The looking deeper is exactly not defaulting to moral relativism AND not defaulting to the belief that universal goods, as defined by one culture, are universal simply because any culture says so.

The two perspectives aren't even very different.

The "world history is just how the circle of life turns round" stance is to the moral high ground stance what a sitcom with canned laughter is to a comedy without a laugh track: with the canned laugh track, you aren't even expected to bring the laughter. To forget your dilemmas, all that is expected of you is just to stare at the screen.

I get that Nazism is a topic people tend to be skeptical of the possibility of using examples in discussions both honestly and seriously. Not only does it flare emotions, it also makes it more likely that discussion will just split around calling the opponent a Hitler-sympathizer/trying to distance oneself from the cultural taboo "evil is a subset of 'the set of Hitlers'" (which is not the same as "Hitler is a singleton subset of the set of evils".

The evergreen task is finding the deficiencies of historical signifiers we used to use, both the ones that brought the most prosperity, and the ones that brought the most ruin.

IIRC ... the Library of Congress Classification system, widely used by libraries to organize their books, is designed in part to facilitate serendipity: You find the book you expect, and you find unexpected related books and subjects nearby.

I wonder if anyone has studied how online reference, including search engines and reference sources like Wikipedia, could be organized that way. Of course, these days some people think narrow-mindedness is a virtue.
The 13 colonies fighting for self-determination would not have imagined becoming the sole super power of the world. Louisiana purchase for strategic depth, Texas joining the Union and the Mexican American War, leading to manifest destiny to the west ward expansion. The Civil war, would have ripped the continent into warring nations, the nation building of USA from sea to shining sea is never obvious, and its bloody, brutal and downright ugly. In spite of becoming bi-coastal power, US was still a poor country in 1880s, and what has transpired in Europe with two world wars and its own role in Pacific Theater thrusted US into its current role.

Its convenient to dismiss, and over simplify this whole enterprise of making of America. I am amazed, and simply amazed by the American experiment and I am not even "technically" American.
