Its not just newsrooms. Many teams allow internal politiking to take precedence over working together. As a result, they're at war with themselves _and_ trying to compete in the market for customers.

As you might imagine, teams which do not have this conflict have substantially more time to focus on their customers.

You are in that awkward position of applying for entry level software jobs a couple of years after graduation.

Was your most recent training about devops? Is there nothing from it that you can pull out in your skills list? Devops is hot right now and you are in a hosting hotspot.

I'd apply to smaller companies and gov departments or internally at your current one. Talk to your manager and if no luck hr at your current place.

You could try putting your degree in the header, and then unifying education and training into a single section. Also add some words on the training saying what you learned. I can't what level the post degree training was at from this and it is wierd android or aws are not in your skills list so maybe you didn't like the courses but put that stuff .

Anyway good luck, first job in a given field is the hardest.
You're not wrong, I end up becoming "the guy" at most places I've worked because I not only have the technical wherewithal, but can put blend in and socialize, and have no qualms about engaging in a political dog-fight when there is a need for it. Thusly, I end up being volunteered or asked to be in most meetings, social committees, etc. because my team trusts me to handle whatever happens and my manager knows I will handle it competently.

Maybe I'm not picking a good term / elucidating properly, but the second type of "social credit" is the fostering of a favorable view, building good rapport with your manager. Your manager does not put you in a meeting for shits-and-giggles, either because there is a real need or as some impotent display of power. For the latter, when you walk out you're making some strife and come salary review time, vacation request time, etc. it can bite you in the ass.

This can and will have a chilling effect on the efficacy of the "Fuck Meetings" rule. However, it does make clear the culture and expectations of the organization, so hopefully those managers would eventually shape up or ship out.
Ya, I went down this line of thinking too. It does seem like this might too be a poor incentive because now doctors would operate on everyone to try and claim wins, even if the likelihood is exceedingly low. There’s probably some measure like “healthy six months from now” that incentivizes them to try in situations with high mortality where operating is the only chance to improve things but keep them from operating if the risk is too high.
Productivity and number of hours worked are orthogonal.

@silveira would any of your applications work on linux and if so would you be willing to share? I've been trying to download my Flickr photographs and so far only single image download works for me.
If so, that would align with standard practice in the American automotive industry. The unions only require workers be paid for shut-downs of over 10 working days.
The key of the Dietz system (MOG) is that the native code that the GPU runs is a bytecode interpreter. Bytecode "instruction pointer" together with other data is just data in registers and memory that's interpreted by the native code interpreter. So for each thread, the instruction pointer can point at a different command - the interpreter runs the same instructions but the results are different. So effectively you are simulating a general purpose CPU running a different instruction on each thread. There are further tricks required to make this efficient, of course. But you are effectively running a different general purpose instruction per thread (actually runs MIPS assembler I recall).

I really want to like the Maslow, but I admit I'm losing patience with it. After a multi-month waiting period to get it I found that they hadn't shipped me all the parts. After a chat with their co-founder (who was very nice) I assumed all was taken care of, but it's been something like two weeks since then and still no parts. In the time it's taken just to get the Maslow kit I could easily have designed and built my own.

Very disappointing. Like I say, I want to like and support what seems to be a really nice company. I just don't have a product yet.
Note that the linked story is _about_ the fact that a female philipino undergrad won a Pulitzer, but does not explain much about about the story she reported on that won a Pulitzer

I'm not arguing that she shouldn't have won a Pulitzer for her reporting if her reporting were genuinely worthy of a Pulitzer (it wasn't, but that's another story,) but... srsly?
That was my impression as well. No better way to GSD than talk to your counterpart on the other side of the aisle and figure out a solution.

For a CEO, VP, or other "executive" type, practicing seagull management is time inefficient for them in any regards. They should be delegating tasks, and trusting their reports to handle the issue.

Of course, sometimes one must become the executive who gets in the weeds as Musk is doing, but that is because the reports have failed in some crucial aspects and one must unfuck the situation.
Metrics do drive behavior. Like, in the IT space, percentage of successful change requests. Encouraged you to power though even if things look bad. Because aborting is a 100% chance of a ding to the metric, while taking the risk is something less.

The stakes are lower, of course, but the idea is similar.

> These cars will NEVER outpace their own footprint

Can you provide citations and numbers for this claim? This seems extremely unlikely to me. A gas powered car that runs for 150,000 miles in it's lifetime could burn 6000 gallons of gasoline. Are you arguing that it takes more than 6000 gallons of gasoline worth of energy to manufacture a car? I would need to see hard data to believe this, as that seems like an incredible claim to me.
This is generally Standard Operating Procedure in a manufacturing facility.

Semiconductor plants often shut down over July 4th or Christmas for maintenance. You were compelled to take vacation when that happened or you were on unpaid leave.

In practice, where I worked, most managers generally worked it out informally if you didn't have enough vacation days.

Ethicists Call for More Scrutiny of ‘Human-Challenge’ Trials
I've noticed the same. Code for me - if there's a weird bug but there is a workaround, I'll probably just use the workaround. Code that others _might_ use - I'll fix the bug, and often end up with better (structured) code as a result.
And as for staying up to date on my friends lives… well I just do it the old fashioned way. Talking to them.

We hear this bromide constantly from people in the #DeleteFacebook movement, but it's facile. It is because it assumes that a "friend" on FB and a friend IRL are equivalent but they're not, and intelligent people know this. There are people in your life that you either want or need to passively keep up with rather than actively socialise or reach.

I've been critical of Facebook's lack of privacy and other issues surrounding the company but I can't get too worked up about the danger of perpetuating passive/active friend distinctions because I think it exists outside of social media and is simply a reflection of the meatspace, and it's actually healthy to do.
Yes, makes sense. HN could use a few minor tweaks and upgrades.
Until the more productive and engaged fellows start questioning what exactly are they working overtime for or simply burn out, then they're replaced by fresher more productive fellows and the cycle continues. Best way to break it is to have balance from the beginning, not after you burn out a few times and form the company culture that supports it.
If I gave you any interview tips, it would be the result of a google search that I'm sure you've already done. But I hope I can provide some other ideas. I'm in Florida, USA so I have no clue if what works for me in my part of the world will work for you, but here's how I got my first 2 jobs after transitioning from social work to software.

First, network as much as possible. I primarily used meetup.com to find events where I could meet people. You don't have to limit yourself to only software-related meetups, either. You can bring a lot of value to the other people at an event because you're the only software person in the room.

Second, stop applying to jobs, and start stalking companies. Rank every single company in Cork (and anywhere you're willing to relocate to) that needs what you have. Decide which ones you really want to work at, and stalk them. Learn about the company, the leadership, the team you might work in, and the technologies you would use if you worked there. Find out where they hang out, and start hanging out there. Ask for an informational interview. These can be way more powerful than a formal interview.

Third, once you find out what technologies your favorite companies use, start learning those. It will give you a focus and purpose to your learning which will make it more joyful and productive.

Applying for jobs always felt like a slow death to me. I hated it. I call my method "Company Hunting" because you're not just looking for a job, you're looking for an entire company to be apart of, and to add value to. It feels much more focused and intentional to me.

PS if you feel you really need help with your resume, interview skills, etc, you may consider paying for a career coach. If you land a job 3 months sooner because of them, think of that career coach as giving you 3 months of salary.
I work for a good company but the team I was on a few years ago was using scrum. It really does promote pushing debt down the line because the product owner only cares about what they can see or measure. The debt isn't part of that set so the developer has to fight to address it. After the first battle many will stop fighting because they are measured by how well the product owner thinks that developer is implementing their roadmap and on track with the schedule they got approved.

Products with heavy debt tend to get rewritten rather than fixed. So it makes sense to keep the schedule through shortcuts and push as many features as possible. Then throwaway the product and rewrite in something newer and more modern.

For developers the benefit is your resume will have the latest tech and you can write sloppy non-abstracted code and not worrying about having to support the product later. Management gets increased visibility into each task with an accurately followed schedule.

Not a surprise it has become so popular. If I could change one thing I would make the scrum master in charge of technical documentation. That one change would force the master into understanding the code at a lower level. That would make them the most knowledgable person on the project thus it would remove the need for daily standups because team members could go to the master at any point in the day with questions or to coordinate effort.
> In general, always pick common sense as your guide. If following a “company rule” is obviously ridiculous in a particular situation, such that it would make for a great Dilbert cartoon, then the rule should change.

I like this. Crucially, it's not “ignore the rule”; it's “fix the rule”.

There isn't. No one knows why.
In my experience, Docker can be hard to debug.

There are lots of utilities that have been developed over the decades for Unix and Unix-like OSes, but almost all of them assume you’re running on the bare hardware and not inside of a jail or container.

So, if you’re going to use Docker for your deployments, you can basically throw out all the tools you might use to try to help you figure out what is going on in the system, unless they have been specifically developed for use with containers or at least adapted to be container-aware. Which is basically almost all of them.

If you don’t have access to the Docker host, then the only debugging facilities you have available to you are the ones you explicitly build into your container — you can’t assume that there will be any kind of debugging facilities or tools available to you from the Docker host, because you don’t have access to the Docker host.

In my experience, that’s orders of magnitude worse.
The major thing I don't like with this current system is that each time you want to modify an option, the docs always say "Go in Menu XYZ, Submenu ABC, etc. and uncheck this checkbox".

=> At the end, you always have to open the IDE again and again...

Everything is hidden by this IDE, and you end up never knowing where (in which config files) the changes are done.
“New” is a bad way to refer to something. It loses meaning once the new thing isn’t so new or has been replaced by something newer.

Say a document talks about “the new windows UI” and there were like 5 different versions of “new ui” during the lifetime of the project. Which version is the document talking about?
It’s very easy to define sexism, racism, homophobia. I think the thing which makes it hard to spot is that we normally treat questions as boolean yes-or-no things.

For example, a police department which is 10% more likely to let one race off with warnings than another race is racist (and that’s not a moral judgement: if warnings are effective everyone should get them), but it’s also an example deliberately chosen to be as far as possible from racially motivated genocide as I could manage without the risk of people denying it was racism.

It’s a spectrum. How much do you empathise with $person, not do you.
Yes but over the lifetime of a GPU, you'll spend more on power draw than the physical hardware. That's where the savings come from, or at least that's what I've been told.

A V100 costs ~300/yr in electricity. If you are buying at the scale of 100k units, but can price per operation, even by just 10% (for example, by dropping features you don't care about), that's a million dollars of electricity over the lifetime of your hardware.

No. They'll be replaced by people who still produce 7 hours of work a day, but take 12 hours to do it, because people like you think butts in chairs are the same thing as productivity.
It strikes me that we've "run out" of IPv4 address space but there's entire large blocks of space allocated to entities that don't appear to be using them.
I would love a good stable windows sshfs client. It usually works great until the connection gets idle then freezes.
> If you're working with a set of concepts, processes, software everyday, developing a shorthand way of talking (and thinking) about them is a big timesaver both in terms of communication and mental effort.

For internal processes, this is fair enough. But anything that will be exposed to an end-user should be simple without shorthand.
I agree with this when discussing EVs that just can’t practically do long trips at all. Rationally, you save money by buying a cheaper short-range EV and renting a car for trips, but I wouldn’t actually do that.

It’s different when talking about a good long-range EV with a good charging network. Not only are long trips practical, but the speed penalty is pretty small.
Travises seem to really hate local transportation bylaws.
That's fine. The crap makes money to fund the good bits. Just need to someone to curate the good bits.
For example, WaPo is funded by scads of anti-Trump gossip shared all over social media, but has occasiobal real investigate news.
> There is a weird idea that empathy is something that makes you good.

By strict definition, the OP is correct. The __presumption__ is you will use that understanding for food. However, having that connection, and using it are two different things.

No preq. Just a baseline.
The medium is not the message, in this case. Content matters, not format.
That story was absolutely amazing. The most shocking part of it to me was that there is an organized effort to ban cops from carrying Naxalone, because some people actually believe that heroin addicts deserve to die...

I haven't studied astronomy as much as I would like, so this is probably a stupid question, but is it possible that something other than star collapses caused a bunch of anti-matter in the early universe to form black holes, both explaining dark matter and answering the question of "where did all the antimatter go?"
Sometimes, for various reasons, on-prem is the only choice. Politics, bandwidth limitations, expediency, egress charges, heavy-handed IT security, etc. Similar for EC2 clones.
From what I've heard the problem is greatly exaggerated - is that assumption incorrect?
Its more than just the CEO (or other high ups), even lateral communication is not without cost.

As an engineer, my time is limited. I simply do not have time to immidietly deal with every problem that anyone wants dealt with.

The general rule we settled on where I work is to ask the relevant project manager first. If the project manager gives the okay, you can talk directly to the relevant engineer. Otherwise, your request will go on a list and be dealt with "at some point".

Of course, in an emergency, you can still go straight to the relevant person. And everything is always an emergency...
> But we spent zero time designing a pipeline for content and league cycles. We only focused on the core product, which is very similar to feature creep. Because we never saw the entire lifespan of the product

This is important at all scales. Whenever I undertake a new task no matter now big or small, I first exercise a full pipeline as soon as possible. That often means putting into 'production' something that might not actually do anything but touches the main parts that will be needed.

After having made that 'null product', features and processes can be improved incrementally anywhere along the pipeline.

Currently working on micro-services, I first deploy a version that has the right names, storage, auth, and a status endpoint. The first feature comes after that gets to prod. It also gets the tedium of setting up the CI/CD out of the way so it doesn't slow you down when you're rolling.
If you were going to make bandwidth costs actually based on costs to provide service, you would probably end up with something similar to the way that electricity is priced. A connection fee plus a metered rate that varies to be higher during periods of high demand and lower during periods of low demand. The data cap model is pretty clearly designed just to extract extra money from customers, not as a genuine way of fairly allocating costs.

I think what they real mean is to have empathy, and uae it for good.

I can put myself in your shoes...and then use that against you. Empathy doesn't promote nor prevent that.
Definitely. I spent a while in a context where we did pair programming (with frequent pair rotation) and continuous delivery, so that every commit went live if the tests passed.

I loved both of these. The pairing and collective code ownership helped me keep things in good shape even when tired. Any mess I made wasn't something I could clean up when I got to it; it would quickly become everybody's problem.

The continuous delivery did the same thing on a product level. It eliminated the mystical time of "before release" where in theory something might get fixed. If we committed code, users would see it.
Question about creating a landing page builder (in Rails)
I am not a programer and I need your help.

I want to build a landing page builder similar to Elementor and Thrive Architect.

Both are in WordPress.

Questions:

1. Can something similar be recreated in Rails?

2. I don't quite understand how GPL licences work. Can a developer I hire take some of the Elementor code - the JS parts I suppose - and use them in Rails?
One hopes he has read this, a classic slate star codex post on leadership: https://siderea.dreamwidth.org/1209794.html#cutid1

Sincere questions for Musk would be:

How are you supporting your management team when you've asked their subordinates to bypass them with good ideas for exposure, leaving them only to provide risks and bad news their subordinates didn't want to bring forward?

How do local team leaders take risks when their team is encouraged to defect and draw in the exec at the first sign of controversy, or just opportunistically?

How do your teams commit to shared outcomes when an arbitrary member can call in a veto from the top?

How do you as the owner not become the bottleneck (and blocker) while everyone clambers to have your support their pet issue because they know nothing is going to get traction without your royal assent?

How do managers not just fire people who call in your air support for things they are in fact wrong about, and how do managers trust those people to be a part of the team after?

His company, his rules. But having seen this kind of naive abdication of responsibility for effective delegation in practice, it is reasonable to ask how this thing scales when you add the uncertainty of a random super veto, and encourage and reward transgression.
