There's no one-size-fits-all management style. Evil megalomaniacs can also have success.

It's good to have humility, but that's true for individual contributors, not just leaders.

As you point out, if a leader is too humble, at especially at Big Corp Inc, products can end up designed by committee, an ugly Mr. Potato Head that everyone hates.

It'd be nice if success required 1-3 specific personality traits but they can't be correlated exactly. But this kind of "If you do/have X, you will succeed" articles will probably always be popular.

1. What does it mean to study TDD?

2. If acceptance tests are the highest level of tests, then focusing on them only may not be very efficient, mainly because they are expensive to run (see the test pyramid). If something doesn't work then most likely debugging is necessary, then it defeats the purpose a bit.

Do you think tedious or blatantly illiterate comments get as many flags as vaguely tangential or vaguely controversial comments?

(I really think there are lots of comments that are "blatantly illiterate", in that they respond to a meaning that is just obviously not in the parent. I guess that only kind of breaks the assume good faith guideline, as they are missing the meaning rather than mischaracterizing it.)

The point of the question is whether the userbase has been trained to respond aggressively to only a subset of low signal comments.
>> Bullshit-sensitivity is the ability to distinguish pseudo-profound bullshit sentences (e.g. “Your movement transforms universal observations”) from genuinely profound sentences (e.g. “The person who never made a mistake never tried something new”).

Why is the second sentence "profound"? If I were to say it sounds like bullshit to me (it actually kind of does?) what would be the counter-argument, other than "we asked X people and the majority felt it was a profound statement" (equally, a bullshit statement)?

I reckon there is no concrete way to formalise the meaning of "bullshit" and "profundity". One person's bullshit statement can easily bee another's profound wisdom ("turn the other cheek" - bullshit, or profound? "Live and let live" - bullshit, or profound? etc).

So what exactly is the point of trying to predict behaviour from observations about subjective quantities? What exactly is being claimed here? That if I have a strong view about what is bullshit and what is not, I can predict how people will behave?

This. A million times. If there's one thing that's bugged me a hell lot as an immigrant in the US it is this. It's insane to give employers control over something as personal as your healthcare.

Tf-nlp-blocks: Some frequently used NLP blocks
In the late 90s, there were a few "no man's land" raves in places where jurisdiction was ambiguous between Israel and the (then brand new) Palestinian Authority's west bank territories. Neither the israeli army, police or palestinian police wanted to mess with a huge, internationally negotiated agreement for the sake of a party.

Around 1999-2000 the "Oslo Process" which created those jurisdictional grey areas collapsed into it's current state, things got violent and the raves ended.

Funny how "what's normal" depends on where you're from. Middle Eastern no-mans-land seemed like a cool place for a party, to 16 yo me. Frozen lake in winter seems way to dangerous to even consider. What sort of a lune would go to a frozen lake party?!!

If you have not spoken about this with other people who have quit/are quitting, you should.

If you have spoken about quitting with other people who have quit or are still quitting, you would have found out that it is much harder for them than what you are proposing. That, or some vanishingly small chance was hit and you have only people around you who found quitting easy but somehow still smoked a lot before doing so.
I would say they have little inherent overlap, but they are not mutually exclusive. A leader can cultivate both skill sets. I think the problem arises because as we advance in technical skills, it is an incremental advancement over years. However, switching to a leadership role brings on a large, deliberate, fast learning curve to pick up brand new skill sets. Many new leaders just keep learning incrementally, taking far too long to get good at their new role. But the ones who do make a fast jump, and actively pursue their missing skills, tend to be great people to work with.
I'd love to hear how is it ignorant - it's not the harshness of punishment that is discouraging illegal acts, otherwise we could punish everything by death and have zero crime. The thing that actually discourages illegal activity is the inevitability of punishment - if there is some chance you won't be caught, people will continue to speed. A visible speed camera guarantees punishment - it's a massive yellow sign that says "if you speed on this road you WILL get a ticket". With hidden cameras the message is "if you speed you MIGHT get a ticket" - and that just doesn't discourage enough.
The referenced citations from your Wikipedia article actually supports my claim.

Google took some heat earlier this week for seemingly using its clout to squash a burgeoning mobile OS.

While it might not be an official requirement, being granted a Google apps license will go a whole lot easier if you join the Open Handset Alliance. The OHA is a group of companies committed to Android—Google's Android—and members are contractually prohibited from building non-Google approved devices. That's right, joining the OHA requires a company to sign its life away and promise to not build a device that runs a competing Android fork.

Besides, even in 2008, what other OS were OEMs going to license to compete with the iPhone? Windows Mobile?

Also, I think you might have not noticed what in my opinion was the most important detail.

I'm not aware of if it's still true for hackintoshes or OSX in KVM or whatnot, but previously, most of the solutions I saw involved steps which I felt, I can't find a better word for than... "Gross". Things like, "Oh, yeah, it's totally MacOS working in a VM.... as long as you modify these random parts of the operating system and replace these other files with a binary I made"

Having many, many a time pirated Windows in the distant past I have some (possibly completely irrational) aversion to using an operating system with Joe Hacker's random patch applied to it. I'll prefer to take upstream thank-you-very-much. :)

My choice to pay for a non-pirated version of MacOS had nothing to do with believing that somehow Apple deserves my money -- I did so because I knew if and once I could get it to work, it would be more... clean.

A “no” from them is disrespect when we are talking about automation and save more money. Do NOT work with people that dont respect you. Do not feel guilty when someone gives you a no. All humans think with that forever term. There is no forever. Everything dies sooner or later. Just listen to your thoughts that are fading away. Dont let them. Use them as they are spoken in the back of your head, no matter how stupid they seem. The whole depression thingy comes from a person rejecting its thoughts that seem right and best for you. Righteousness and truthfulness its what makes us US. A persons aura/energy is higher when they speek with their friends or coworkers with high volume voice. A high volume voice makes people believe that they are trustworthy. Many people aren’t trustworthy. Just use that voice. Speak the truth and how you feel and dont let just everyones thoughts be your own thoughts.
Is is true though? I've been to a talk by one of LHCb researchers [1] where he said that they observe a pretty significant anomaly in meson decay (I believe [2] has more details) and expect to publish updated results later in 2018. Looks like there is some hope

No, it's still in very active development. I'm planning to do a public demo of some single-player puzzles in September.

That'll be all pre-alpha gameplay, but it's just designed to allow people to get a handle on how time travel works, because Reset Hard tackles it a little bit differently than other games.
Cool! Glad it worked for you. (I'm mildly curious what the chipset was on the guest that MacOS was running in) But like, not curious enough that you should spend any effort to find out.

Because I think one of the toughest parts was getting QEMU to make a machine macos would be happy with.
Awkwardness, vagueness can equal bullshit because it is a blank slate you project your own meaning over.

How it works for me: Try to find a more concrete example of the sentence. If you can't, then it's (likely) bullshit.

I cannot give you example for the first sentence (because it is bullshit), but for the second sentence, I can imagine a person who tries a lot of new things and makes a lot of mistakes, presumably because they do not know how to do it. The way the sentence is phrased is just a reversed implication of that.

Note that the "profound" sentence can still be wrong or false or even unfalsifiable statement. The point is that you can assign meaning to it, build a mental model around it.

I definitely overstated here sorry. Found the excerpt I was remembering in my copy of code complete "On a project that uses inspections for design and code, the inspections will take up about 10-15 percent of project budget and will typically reduce overall project cost".

So assuming the same payoff benefit (big if, but let's go with it) between PR style reviewing and more formal inspections, every engineer should be spending around four or five hours a week performing reviews to hit the sweet spot.
I found a significant performance benefit to keeping NUMA turned on when running Linux, for basically every workload.

For Windows, it is the other way around. I hope they'll improve their NUMA handling, but I'm not holding my breath.

The Linux kernel is clever about this. You can get some idea of what it does by looking at numactl, which lists the various scheduling modes -- though in practice the kernel does a great job without any user overrides, and actually using the command is likely to slow things down.

Which is not to say that it can't occasionally be helpful, if you're trying to optimize the speed of a single thread. At a minimum, you can choose between optimizing for bandwidth (interleaving data on all four memory channels) or latency (putting everything in the local node). Usually you want the latter.

That isn't really making it work. Look at the UFC. Total spectacle when it was first acquired, now it is one of the largest sports in the US. Largely because they are ahead of the regulation. People who want to compete by being a spectacle don't get licenses and access to large arenas. If they would have known how to make it work there would be a similar situation for payment processing and free sites as well.
Just curious: Why does art need to make anyone feel anything?

Do you feel something if you see a landscape, portrait, or still life? Do you think they are still art? In a similar thread, if you stare at something abstract, if it draws you in to gaze on it because it is a cool design even if it brings forth no feeling, does it make it art or not?

Do you understand hidden meanings from 200 years ago that would have been obvious to viewers at the time? Do you still consider it art even if you have to read about the meanings built into the art?

(Art is full of pretentious bullshit, and I'm of the opinion that assigning meaning or requiring a meaning of art is, of itself, pretentious.)
Of all places they could go.

China appearing to succeed at a time when democracy is on the ropes is a dangerous trend for democracy.

When you import goods from China, you import repression.

Short-termed capitalists might think the repression applies just to workers, but China is a country with no human rights, no property rights, no rule of law. The Chinese government reserves the right to take anything you "own" there. Somehow it is a capitalist and communist hell at the same time.

It is exactly like that. An optimal start to a career would be graduate from a top 10 college, 2 years at Google and/or 2 years at Goldman Sachs.

I just left a job with a truly toxic code review culture.

- managers would swoop in and leave incorrect criticisms. Asserting plainly false things and in one case reviewing python code as though it was JavaScript.

- devs would make conflicting requirements for improvement. Dev A demands change A. Dev B wants change B. A and B are incompatible and neither dev will back down. Management of course refused to help settle the argument.

- change requests completely unrelated to the PR being reviewed would get crammed into the PR. So every small code change could balloon into weeks on refactoring work.

- Often times code review comments were made without ever reading the code being reviewed. Such as a comment of “Why aren’t you using library X?” sandwiched in between invocations of library X.

The culture was clearly rewarding people for shitting on others work instead of doing any work themselves. Getting even the simplest code changes past required endless meetings explaining the most basic facts about computers.

So glad to be gone from there.

BIOS updates are required for most SGX-related microcode updates, as the microcode has to be up-to-date before enabling the SGX feature via
a MSR (which is usually done by the BIOS). This is so you can't start an enclave with old microcode, exploit it, upgrade microcode, and still pass remote attestation.

Also, the more major spectre-related microcode updates have to be applied very early (in the BIOS) probably for technical reasons. For this latest microcode update, for example, Intel didn't even include it in their downloadable microcode package as you linked to. On my v6 Xeons, I was able to get to revision 0x84 with the latest OS microcode package, but 0x8e with a BIOS upgrade.
