Sure, although my experience is in the product business. some of these might be applicable:

* Find a niche market where there is a need and the prospects aren't broke. Eg, they have money to spend for the potential of ROI with your product.

* Break your revenue goal into concrete building blocks. If you need $x/year to make this a profitable venture, how many customers do you need?

* If you need a lot of customers (IMO, > 25) you need to think about both marketing and making your product and making it possible for them to self-service. Eg, driving inbound so you don't have to rely so much on outbound.

* Right down your goal and make a plan to achieve it. Does that mean emailing / calling prospects? How many per day? How many trials does it take to convert one customer? These are simple metrics which will eventually help make your revenue "predictable." Great books on that topic.

* Sales is #1 priority. SV is hyperfocused on brilliant engineers. In bootstrapping, it's all about money. I'd spend more on a great salesperson than an engineer.

* Make yourself uncomfortable. Don't like cold calling? Cold call anyway. You'll get good (or at the very least not half bad) at everything.

* Take care of yourself. You are your own vehicle to success. Your mind and body are business partners. Your bad habits can hinder you severely. 9-5 employees can come to work hungover every day and probably get by fine - but an entrepreneur can't.

* If something isn't working, change it. If something's working, do more of it. That includes pivoting product, market, etc.

* Don't get too elated or depressed. There can be incredible highs and crushing lows. Failure is a teacher but success is a better teacher.

* Be humble. Recognize that you're an idiot and that you don't know shit, even when you think you know shit. It's how you keep your mind open to learning new things. Your own ego can be a roadblock to success.

* Learn to delegate. When you start out you'll do everything — but eventually you will find you have low-level tasks which, if offloaded, would make you far more productive. That's when it's time to hire. Resist the urge to just do it yourself. Your ultimate goal is that you become the brain of the company and you delegate the physical work to the staff you've built.

There's a lot more but those are the ones I could rattle off.
I guess I'm in a totally different work environment, as I've never had an internal meeting with a laptop present.

Make sure if you absolutely can't stand it and you leave after 7 months you still are ok. You'd be surprised at how bad things can get.

When I said "for some reason", I was trying not to go into speculation. But yeah, ARM definitely attacked them in the embedded market from the lower end. And Motorola, transitioning from 68k to PPC, from the high end (PPC was very popular for laser printers, for example), later joined by IBM (Cell/Xenon). We all know what happened to SGI in the server/workstation market.

Oh dear. How fun!

These little sins are truly terrible.

I prefer openat(2) and friends for dealing with ADS. It means you have to have specialized programs to deal with them from shell scripts, as open(2) and friends provide no naming conventions for getting at ADS. This approach is much much safer than the WIN32 approach of using :$HACK_ME_PLEASE and :$THANK_YOU_MAY_I_HAVE_ANOTHER.

Note that Linux has openat(2), but it doesn't support ADS. Solaris/Illumos does. Linux has xattrs, which, like ADS in Solaris/Illumos, requires separate system calls to access -- no open(2) naming conventions there.

Both, ADS and xattrs are extremely useful. Let's say you need to associate some metadata with a file, but you can't change its contents' format. You could use some separate file that goes with it, but now you can't atomically rename(2) the thing... But with ADS/xattrs you just attach those to the file, and then when you rename(2) the file the ADS/xattrs go with it atomically. (Yes, you could rename a directory, but it doesn't quite have the same semantics as renaming a file. In particular, rename(2) of a directory won't rm -rf the target if it exists.)
Do you remember when Apple laptops had the best keyboards in the business? I miss those days.
> "The article I posted appears to disagree that guns are used for self-defence."

It doesn't say that, but perhaps it appears that way to you. You read it that way because what you seem to have is a fundamentally dehumanizing ideology that reduces individuals to averages. Something I've found to be characteristic of those with extremist political beliefs.
not necessarily child soldiers but i've noticed a tonal shift from "this is something that's happening, here are the facts, we sent a guy in with a camera to check it out" to "this is happening! you should feel horrible about it! if you don't, you're a monster!"

It's possible :-) that I'm wrong. I knew the feature existed for phone calls and I assumed that meant it worked for texts as well. But I haven't personally tried it. [ADDED: I could see the thinking being that if it's really urgent, someone will call and, if you're sleeping, a message notification won't reliably wake you up.]
This is pretty much what happened to me, except after a few keypresses, the key broke and never recovered. Apple Store fixed it, though.
Same here. The entire engineering division uses laptops on docks with multiple monitors and the works.

And is also a very subjective market. A great therapist might be the worst for someone. I know of a few initiatives like this in Spain a few years ago, and the review/recommendations system always felt clunky.

Besides, some schools of therapy would think the expectations of a patient that expects you deliver a 5/5 stars therapy, would taint the natural therapy process.
which is why you shouldn't promote by the numbers and instead have a look for who is best at the qualities required for the level above. A good manager shouldn't find that hard to figure out and can also probe at it by changing responsibilities more gradually.
Get your father a chromebook -- the tech support scammers don't know how to work them yet, and it's easy to "powerwash" them back to stock if they do get taken over.
I believe developers should have a powerful workstation and a small laptop which is able to remote into the workstation.

Pair programming can be done through Slack or Skype (highlight the screen when you want to pinpoint something - it's easier than pointing to the monitor)

Although this setup doesn't solve the remote work issue as remote control protocols can be pretty slow or plainly unusable with a slow internet connection.
You have it backwards. A badge on an icon is a passive indicator not a notification! When I look at my phone, I want to see if I have an unread message.

The Oreo model means I either have to have notifications (which are actual distractions) or I simply have no clue if something needs to be dealt with. For a device designed for communication, this is important. It's not a distraction, it's literally the reason I have the device.
That depends on how you define "used". And furthermore, while it may be true for guns on average, it's not true for any individual gun. You are confusing individuals for averages.

Both, ADS and xattrs are extremely useful. Let's say you need to associate some metadata with a file, but you can't change its contents' format. You could use some separate file that goes with it, but now you can't atomically rename(2) the thing... But with ADS/xattrs you just attach those to the file, and then when you rename(2) the file the ADS/xattrs go with it atomically. (Yes, you could rename a directory, but it doesn't quite have the same semantics as renaming a file. In particular, rename(2) of a directory won't rm -rf the target if it exists.)

POSIX-ish systems that support ADS use openat(2), not open(2) naming conventions, to get at ADS. POSIX-ish systems that support xattrs use other system calls specifically for that purpose. It's NOT ADS that causes these problems but the naming conventions used to make them accessible without having to write programs that use new system calls instead of open(2) (POSIX) or CreateFile() (WIN32).
Part of the problem also seems to be the use of experts not to explain or even predict but to manipulate events and to hide downsides in service of that manipulation.

E.g. Free trade - easy to love for consumers, economists, and people whose jobs aren't so easily transferable. Not so much for factory workers.

The old jobs left, and the new ones which people were assured would materialize because of all of the new prosperity didn't.

Another part of the problem seems to lie in skepticism and how to properly apply it. The closest I think anyone in the US comes to seeing a substantive debate is on the Sunday morning political shows and I'm sure it's still wrong, wrong, and wrong.
To my understanding, ASCII basically only covers English and Italian well, whereas Latin-1 covers most Western European languages — which includes the main languages of the Americas (Spanish, English, French, Portuguese).

The problem exists when an process with superuser privileges is running a program that reads command input interactively from the terminal at the same time that an unprivileged process has an unrevoked open file descriptor to the same terminal device.
The problem is that it's really not fair (nor ethical, I would argue) to equate "wealthy" with "white." Conflating any characteristic with race/gender/etc., regardless of how accurate it might be, is stereotyping.

I fundamentally have a problem with telling a poor white kid that a (potentially wealthy) asian / hispanic / etc. is more deserving of the spot simply because of the race of which she/he was born (assuming all else equal, like GPA, scores, etc.)

What SpaceX did and does for Space Explpration is far beyond what anybody has even dreamed since the 80s. He has revolutionised the Space industry.

But sure, its just a cult and non of theae people understand anything about the space industry.

It seem the issue here is that you went to far in one direction and now you backlashed in the other.

I have a 2015 XPS 13 Developer Edition (9343) that I still use and love. Also have a 4K XPS 15 (9560) that is dual booting Ubuntu 18.04 and Win10... 18.04 has some quirks during install - and an issue with shutdown out of the box, but https://github.com/stockmind/dell-xps-9560-ubuntu-respin resolved all of that. In my opinion - you can't go wrong with an XPS. The new 13 looks pretty sweet too.

That is what I was thinking as well, a civil case from each person scammed, perhaps put into a class action which would result in a some justice for the folks who were scammed, and perhaps create a permanent garnishment on all of his wages from now until he dies where a percentage of anything he makes in any job goes to his victims.
It still works that way. There's a tacit agreement amongst my friends to call it after 30 minutes or so if no one has been able to win by that point.

Some of the variations can be fun to play (they add interesting complications to it). But only in small doses for me.
The Victoria Line in London runs at 36 trains per hour at peak, one every 100 seconds. Station dwell times are already a limiting factor at this point, and having separate load/unload platforms would provide only a small decrease in dwell time as you'd need to open the unload doors before the loading doors to prevent people just exiting the wrong side.

I could see some defenses of WeWork, but surely not productivity!

Having worked in a company fully based in a WeWork location in Boston, I can tell you WeWork basically is a complete stereotype of precisely all of the miserable, distraction-focused problems with open plan offices in general.

For fun meetups and goofing around, they are nice spaces.

For getting work done, it’s horrible, universally. People on my team would actively leave the WeWork office and walk to Starbucks to get work done, or more often just constantly work from home.

Whatever VC <-> founder winking social signaling and sort of cookie cutter “look at how start-uppy and innovative we are” status signaling must be the driver of locating in WeWork and coworking spaces generally.

It is clearly not related to productivity, quiet or private conditions conducive to engineering work, or basic workplace ergonomy or cognitive health.

Wow, that is a crazy headline! I wonder what the article actually says?

> “We work with parents from birth...Just about how to set up a culture of consent in their homes. ‘I’m going to change your nappy now, is that OK?’ Of course a baby’s not going to respond ‘yes mum, that’s awesome I’d love to have my nappy changed'.

> "But if you leave a space and wait for body language and wait to make eye contact then you’re letting that child know that their response matters," she said.

> [Snip]

> Carson quoted statistics reflecting how common sexual abuse is among children, and said the work her organization does follows international best practice in abuse prevention.

> "It teaches children their rights AND their responsibilities and connects them with people who care and can help. It invites their parents into the discussion and is sensitive to cultural and family values," she said.

This seems ...honestly pretty reasonable and well thought out to me.

You're right. The headline does speak for itself, because it certainly doesn't speak for the subject of the article.

Humans adapt to living in and working in eg tropical, very hot zones dramatically easier than the coldest regions.

That's why there's a vast population in the hot tropical areas, whereas there's nobody in Canada's frozen north, or vast stretches of frozen Russia. Even in the more temperate parts of cold Canada & Russia, the population density is extraordinarily low. Compare that to numerous high population density hot tropical regions.

Mexico for example is one of the hottest countries on earth, it has 127 million people with a population density seven times that of Russia. Its population will soon surpass Russia.

India is even hotter than Mexico.

Iran and Iraq are even hotter than India (120 million people in those two countries, they'll combined surpass Russia in population very soon).

I think it boils down to UI navigation. With a window manager, terminal, and an editor/IDE I don't really need to use the mouse to work effectively as a programmer. Once my muscle memory adapts to the keyboard layout, I'm set. However, navigating a 2D schematic/PCB/drawing or a 3D part with a touchpad is a nightmare and most software doesn't support the touch screen mechanics that I need to effectively replace navigation with a physical mouse. Even with a 3dconnexion portable 3D mouse, there's just too much clicking and precise movement involved in a UI like Altium or Solidworks to be usable.

That and I've never seen a portable laptop that can handle a Solidworks multi-hundred part assembly or a 20 layer Altium PCB, except for massive 17" workstations that are ostensibly laptops.

This was 10 years ago, but the data closets had SFPs on the switches for the fiber. So the cost of the "media converter" was really low - just needed a few. There was existing CAT5 in the walls, all of the runs would be well less than 100 m which is why I brought up the comm closets. For a new builds, I have no idea for the cost difference. But for the insane number of buildings wired with CAT5/CAT5e/CAT6, this solution works well. Trying to pull fiber to replace CAT5 (as in without removing the drywall) would be very expensive and likely to damage the fiber.
