That's because management is one of those fields that most people think they're qualified for. If you got arms, legs and are literate, many think they're cut out for it.

Same goes for teaching or education in general. So many wannabe educators writing or producing programming lessons that clearly have never studied education theory. A notorious one or two out there as well. Art or professional grade creative endeavors are probably the same way for the vast majority.

Unless you're some sort of savant, no one gets away with shortcutting the learning involved with anything. It's just kind of blissful ignorance.

You don't know what you don't know and it becomes a strength since most are too unmotivated to ever do things the right way, in a well-informed, disciplined manner regardless. To those who are in those fields though, it's painfully obvious.
I vehemently disagree for one very straightforward reason: this matter is far too important to prioritise civility over outcomes. This particular matter needs sunlight, and Torvalds' response is giving it a lot of sunlight.

An "inclusive atmosphere" is irrelevant. Pointless. I'd personally say it's counter-productive. There's no scenario where Torvalds' response is going to result in Intel abandoning the Linux ecosystem. The engineers at Intel can now go back to their managers and say "okay, we tried cutting corners and it didn't work."
Good question. On my work MacBook Pro, Safari was the fastest browser for Speedometer 2.0. But on my home MacBook Pro, Safari wouldn't complete running it at all.

I'm not aware of any major OS or software differences between the machines, but I guess I could be wrong. ;(

I'm definitely giving BrowserBench.org a try on my various browsers, including Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, Firefox, and Safari.

We'll see how the complete set of tests turn out.

Not related to the blog post, but I think Paul has one of the best looking personal websites on the web. Simple and clear, but very delightful to read. Also he has amazing travel posts with nice photos. For example, his Japan post triggered me to travel to Japan three years ago. Keep up the good work Paul.

Interesting point! I admit that spending a lot of time worrying about equipment with little or no direct effect on the work or how you produce it is over the top — but worrying about equipment makes a lot of sense for any creator and especially in photography. Different lenses and different cameras will have a huge impact on your final photograph. Changing your tools affects your work flow and your final photograph as a result. Swapping cameras or lens will obviously
affect your final image much more so than changing PC but it's still there and it is worth thinking about.
Custom loops are such a hassle between leak testing, constantly changing the liquid, adding anti-algae additive. I've done many of them when I was really into PC building in the early 2000s (I was even on the FutureMark 3DMark Hall of Fame for a while for some extreme overclocks). The new AIO coolers are extremely performant and a no-brainer cost wise. No harm in trying out the new tech :)
When I moderated a mid-sized forum, pretty much 90% of our spam had a URL in the first post, whereas normal users were pretty much the opposite.

It seemed like sending those direct to moderation would have removed a lot of the work. In the end we just moderated all first posts since it wasn't that much volume and I didn't want to modify the software myself.

Is your spam more complex? I've noticed that it seems to be getting fancier.
Let me give you some more parsimonious paranoia: the tumbler operator is likely already working for the government, or accepting money from governments to forward them DumbSeller's transaction history. Why would they not?

Running a tumbler seems like a great racket if you can cope with the amorality (and particularly if you can rationalize the fact that you're sending money to ISIS with probability approaching 1). People pay you fees in exchange for "privacy", and have no way to tell if they got it.

If there exist tumblers that don't sell their customers' transaction history, in the ruthless capitalist world of Bitcoin, they are easily outcompeted by the ones that do. And a tumbler "customer" has no way to shop around for privacy.

It may be stupid depending on what you are doing, and how savvy a user you are.

The problem with UAC is that 90% of users have no idea when it would be necessay to click "no" when that dialog box shows up. For them, it's the box that always annoys you and you have to just click "yes" to make it go away.

I understand what it's supposed to do, but have had it disabled since it was released, and have saved hours of task interruption it in exchange for no other problems.
The dispossessed is quite possibly one of the most important books I have ever read.
This has driven me nuts more than once. I’ve very intentionally ordered two “matching” monitors at the same time, supposedly from the same lot, and they were vastly different. It may be an overreaction but since a number of years ago I’ve gone to just one big and nice monitor (even if it’s not technically as nice as the others) because those details get in my head so much.

As the saying goes: “comparison is the thief of joy” - so I remove the second thing to directly compare to.
There is an important distinction that hasn't been discussed much:

- The reason people decide to resign.

- The reason people begin to consider resigning.

In my experience, bad management is what usually kicks off the whole thought process, but other factors are what cement the decision (like an offer with higher pay, better title, higher prestige company etc.)
Judging from a quick glance, this particular library (Isso) does not seem to be the case of "many client programs sending SQL to the same database over a network". There is only one server as a "client" program, sending SQL directly to the database, not over a network. If so, I'd tend to agree that SQLite is suitable for its purpose.
Thank you!! It's the very rare comments like this that bring me joy. While I mainly do the site and photosets just for myself (so so many times when I'm out to dinner with folks and am telling a story about some trip I can instantly pull up the set and show the journey) it's nice to see when others get some value from it, especially for something that has consumed countless nights and weekends over the years.

> Sounds like an ideal job for a 3d printer.

Or, you know, a piece of timber and some sand paper.

The consumer-grade 3d printers I have exposure to would have trouble with some combination of piece length, tensile consistency, strength and durability you'd want in a book press. Printing alone would take longer than sanding and drilling. And I suspect a printed part wouldn't be so forgiving of adjustments made after manufacture.

Using the 3d printer because it's fun and a learning experience is fine, but calling it "ideal" when it doesn't offer any real improvements over the cheaply and easily made "traditional" material is going a little bit too far :-).
Awesome!

So, now no one can ever take a day off, lest their manager think that they are interviewing somewhere else?

Welcome to vim, but if you go overboard on plugins then you will have the same issues with it, probably more so.
Let's put some context on this. Disability insurance is $30/mo. And that amount is generally tax deductible for the self employed.

Yes, if you're poor it will be harder to buy health insurance, but you can avoid consumer debt at virtually any income. You can save up an emergency fund at virtually any income level. The fact that it might get more difficult to do any of these things as you get closer and closer to the lowest end of the poverty spectrum... is that really the argument we're trying to have? Because that seems like a silly thing to interject in a conversation about people who are going to be starting and running small businesses.
Great. So now no one can ever be sick, lest their manager think that they are interviewing somewhere else.

Of course, if you did suspect they were interviewing somewhere else, wouldn't that be a perfect reason to fire them?

Global warming is a bit more serious than killing spiders.
That's your opinion. Others would say the greater asshole is one who refuses to confront morons with their own moronic behaviour. That person is denying the moron opportunity to self-reflect and improve themselves.

And before you interject, I would also assert that numbing the confrontation with "civility" also nullifies the effect.
I agree, the design is great, and the animations on the maps is really nice.

One of the main ideas in OoO processors is that the processors are in many ways like dataflow machines, waiting for inputs to become available in order to start (potentially speculative) execution.

So, encoding logic in dependent movs does not inherently address the cache side channel issue.

Zurich can draw from around 1.6M people, which is its metropolitan area with >8.3% people commuting to the center. So yeah, >4M more people is probably underselling how small Zurich is in comparison to London and SF. Nevertheless, it's not a world capital, but with its concentration of highly qualified students and graduates from two of the top universities I think it is quite competitive. Plus it helps that it's not 1.6M people isolated somewhere in a desert, rather it's a continuation of Europe's most densely populated stretch of land (London-Netherlands-Ruhr-SW-Germany-Milano), which helps at getting lots of business/talent in neighboring countries.
Problem is, managers shape companies.

Last company I left went bankrupt and got bought by a VC who replaced the whole management.

The new managers were running around telling people how to do things because of the "company spirit".

A few people, including me, were in the company for over 7 years and we knew the company spirit, because well, we lived and formed it.

Now some newly hired MBAs try to tell me that I'm wrong?

The bankruptcy lead many people to leave. The rest left because of the new management. Now the company has the old name and product, but noone of the people that created or formed it remained.

With respect, no -- not everyone thinks that. I would be a horrible manager. And I know plenty of people who feel the same way about themselves.

I am totally happy leaving that job to someone who is better suited for it.
Paul, did you consider buying an existing workstation like the HP Z840 ( http://store.hp.com/us/en/mdp/business-solutions/z840-workst... ) or similar?

I did this a number of years ago and never regretted it and dual-Xeon has really helped with DxO PhotoLab and Adobe Lightroom processing time (compared to all the other computers I had access to).

Even years later I still believe that this is performing better than something I could've built myself. I think of computers like cars, in that if you upgrade 1 part significantly for performance (i.e. the engine) that it forces upgrades to everything else (i.e. brakes, chassis, cooling). A pre-built workstation balances all of these things to give one package where all of the potential is achievable.

One of the issues I've had that isn't mentioned here is the value of mutual trust. Communication and trust are the two cornerstones of a really solid manager <-> managee relationship in my experience. Whether that lack of trust manifests itself as micro-management, constant check-ins, or a constant threat of surveillance it can easily turn an above average performer into an apathetic and demoralized employee.

I used to work remotely for a company that spanned more than a few timezones, with a wonderful daily team manager and a not-so-great weekly department manager. Learning that my minutes and output were constantly monitored completely destroyed my trust with the latter, and had me searching within the week. My reaction to that was so strong I actually considered it a fortune when I was laid off for unrelated reasons rather than having to quit.

I would be reprimanded for signing on five minutes later than usual despite being on a team of individuals that spanned multiple countries, and would get a questioning ping if I was offline for more than 10 minutes (especially problematic if you're the type of programmer to write or plan code on the whiteboard / paper first). Extremely draining to deal with that sort of nonsense and mistrust.

Please, managers of the world, trust your employees! You have performance metrics for a reason!
Right, but MOST PLACES. Did you read what you were responding to?
The setup is nice but I'm long over the tower on the floor. I actually wanted to go back to the start of my computing journey (Commodore128, then 286, etc) and get a desktop[0] again.

It's very unfortunate that while Intel was still probably the right call for Adobe software, the I/O impact on from Intel's Meltdown patches are going to be significant on that machine. Once it all settles down and is finalized in a few months that is.

As well, the watercooling thing was pretty neat back in at the turn of the millenium. That's when the Celeron 300A and custom machined watercooling was big. I lost interest once CPUs became mostly no longer thermally limited (exception for Intel's current CPUs with the +~18C IHS issues). In general I prefer air cooling because I tend to always go for simplicity. A fan on a chunk of metal is pretty easy to troubleshoot and repair upon failure and reliable.

I did get my 80's form factor desktop again. I built a Ryzen system[1] back in March 2017, the first new computer I put together since 2008 and I love it. I get by at least.

[0]Back in the day, horizontal desktops were referred to as desktops and towers were towers.

I don't think RSS ever truly went away. Sure, Google ditched Reader, but (for me, at least) Feedly and other services took its place. The millions of sites running on WordPress have RSS enabled by default. Podcasts are distributed via RSS.

Social media sites and smart news aggregators (e.g. Apple News) have failed to replace RSS for me.

There's a lot in The Left Hand of Darkness, but the thing I got out of it is there are some things that can't be learned by being told the answer. I could tell you what the left hand of darkness is right now, but if you didn't read the book, you'd be none the wiser. Some things can only be taught through experiencing it yourself, or through the proxy of storytelling.

Storytelling is the greatest tool we have for passing down wisdom to the next generation. Ursula LeGuin, we celebrate what you have taught us and will continue to teach us, and we mourn your passing.

Macrobrew can also get away with adjuncts - making their beer from corn, and cheaper - while a craft brew audience is going to be wary of corn beer (unless specifically marketed as such) and expect a more expensive malt bill.
When I used to use Google reader (RIP) almost every site that posted content weekly had RSS. I personally haven't experienced any indication of a resurgence of using RSS besides some obviously niche technical communities or applications that are using it. Hardly a resurgence from my perspective, though.

RSS is great when people need it and use it, but most 'normal' people don't use it these days from what I can tell. Prove me wrong :)
Sorry if I wasn't clear but I don't have anywhere close to that kind of money to place something anywhere near the moon.

Does the evolutionary psychologist serve an evolutionary purpose? It seems to fail the analytical egalitarianism test.
The company played some nasty mind games with their employees regarding equity. They did a 7 (I think?) for 1 split, and then had the recruiters telling employees that they had "never seen a company give out so many shares before." They sent out spreadsheets with calculators that would let you estimate the value of your shares, and just casually let you know that Apple was trading at ~$700/share. iirc, they even pre-filled in the line for potential value with Apple's current share price (so, 5000 shares * 700 Apple-level share price = 3.5M). At every company meeting, they'd get really pumped about how they were going to IPO. They would throw parties celebrating their 100 millionth patient life covered, even though it seemed pretty obvious those numbers weren't real. No 401k match, since you're not going to need it after we IPO.

There was even a second market offering to let Ryan sell enough shares to pay his taxes and maybe buy a nice house in South Park.

I don't feel bad for the engineers, since they were generally exposed to enough information that they should have been able to call bullshit. I feel bad for the customer success team, who were often given a tenth of the amount of shares as engineers but would still frequently talk about retiring when we IPO. Hopefully the exec bonuses will be voted down, and there'll be a class action lawsuit.

This is a problem that faces a lot of startups. We should all be more wary of information that's given out, and be more demanding of transparency. Learn a less from all of us PF employees: the more a company talks about their IPO, the less likely it's going to happen.

Not only due to the popularity of Rails, Ruby has become popular for sysadmins as config management solutions such as puppet and chef are built on top of it. The resulting syntax is very ruby like, and in some cases you are even required to write a few ruby blocks here and there.

It also has an amazing testing framework in the form of rspec, which can be used for much more than just testing Ruby code.
Other than that it's GTO, we didn't publish orbital parameters or spacecraft/payload specs AFAIK.
At the end of the day, I just don't care about this tone argument. I only care that the issue is resolved properly, and like it or not, there's nobody I would trust to analyse an issue like this more than Linus.

People in this thread are making the (understandable) mistake of assuming that Linus' remarks were aimed at individual engineers at Intel. But they obviously weren't: they were clearly aimed at senior management at Intel to say "we're not going to accept garbage from you."

And I don't even care if it was garbage. Because either it was garbage, or they failed to demonstrate to Linus that it was not garbage. Either way this is entirely Intel's fault.

The trust and minimal involvement are really key here, the best managers I've ever worked with have been enablers rather than taskmasters. Managers that remove roadblocks, provide you with exactly the tools you need, insulate you from unnecessary cross-chatter, and just let you kill it with as few distractions as possible.

Those sorts of enablers are how you not only maintain, but increase the output of your developers.
This title is confusing. The actual title is more approachable - Why driverless cars may mean jams tomorrow

Still I am confused by articles logic - Why would driveless car be any better than the current ownership model? The logic presented is - AIs that can pilot cars more closely together will boost road capacity. But using article's logic on people movement - it might entice people who actually don't drive due to various reason to actually buy a car. The increased number of cars might lead to the said jam.

One of my controversial opinion is that going forward governments might be tempted to label ride sharing companies as basic necessities, just like internet, to try and improve transportation.
