I agree that one-size-fits-all doesn't work with hardware requirements, but I still think this is a leaky abstraction. The promise of Serverless is not having to care about servers, but this is an option to specifically control that. A better abstraction would auto-optimise hardware spec for the software's performance characteristics - that would be much more "serverless".
Testing for detector issues and those sort of things seems like very important groundwork for future experiments.

> Adding onto this, in China you also have to deal with the Great Firewall as well

Not you don't. For most of the Chinese entrepreneurs create startups inside China - their local market is big enough to not to have to worry about internationalization. The big three you named there, Tencent, Alibaba, Baidu, didn't worry about that at all for many years sine their establishments.

> In China, its anything owned by tencent, baidu, or alibaba.

There are certain truth to it, but there are exceptions too. I.E. Douyin/Tik Tok(social vlogging) and Pinduoduo (e-commerce) have been immensely popular and successful in recent years and weren't owned (or significantly owned) by the big three.
People have a really wrong idea about "experimental" medical treatments.

Its much easier to break something you don't understand than fix it, and our knowledge of the human body is so rudimentary it is effectively zero. The only way to check what will happen is to try it.

The only comfort for the first humans being injected/whatever with something is that nothing too awful (relative to the problem being addressed) happened to some mice/rats/primates in the short term.

Apple maps works perfectly fine in China. I’m not sure what it’s like for android users.

It includes transit, at least for Beijing, see https://www.apple.com/ios/feature-availability/. I always took a taxi though so that wasn’t very important to me, so I used mostly the didi dache app.
In theory I’m sure we would but we are a small company and clearly state that it would be a non starter for us so anyone with that preference would not bother applying.

Why? Also, the "categories of tumor cell" are arbitrary. The categories are chosen by humans for ease of communication and understanding. You can have as many or as few as you want.

Fair, but why is that. I've been talked into just-for-now solutions over and over in my career. Rarely does the org actually go back and clean it up in a timely fashion.

In my only experience with the East Coast (CT), I also noticed the general lack of air conditioning, even in homes which to my Midwestern mindset surely had to have state of the art HVAC systems (they didn't). Oh how I long for 70-degree summers.

When I read "crypto" I default to assuming cryptocurrency, not cryptography, unless the domain is implicit.

A null result actually disproves a theory.
I agree with this in principle. Gets a lot tougher in practice, though.

"Manager" really shouldn't be a job in tech, at least when it comes to individual teams. Management should be a skill, just like all the other dozens of skills tech teams manage in various ad-hoc ways.

Groups of teams plays out differently, since you're really starting to work at the meta level. Even then, though, management is just one of a bunch of skills necessary. (At that point, however, it may be so much of a primary skill to warrant a separate role)
Deploying UI Applications Using Docker and NGINX
>> 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 think this is a bit like Kolmogorov complexity - just because you can't find a concrete example of a statement, doesn't mean that there isn't one, only that there isn't one that you know of.

It's also very hard to tell whether something is a concrete example of a natural language statement, especially when that statement is metaphorical.

Finally- I'm pretty sure I can think of statements that would map to concrete examples that could be identified as either bullshit or profound truths, depending on who you ask or who is making the statement. For instance, if I say that "Careful study leads one to hidden knowledge" - that could easily be applied to mystical knowledge (probably bullshit) and to scientific knowledge (probably not quite bullshit).
Probably because, by and large, they work for themselves and not as often in teams.
This is a good question! It really depends how you're smashing the protons together.

Did you create a model and then smash them together and analyze them? So you are testing "I believe that if I smash protons at X energy level that they will cause y_0,...,y_n decays" This is standard hypothesis testing. You are looking in a specific place.

A brute force method in this area is more like "Well... I'm not really sure. Why don't we just smash these protons together at uhhh... idk X energy?" And then you get "well that was interesting" or "okay, that was expected".

This is overly simplified. Basically a brute force method is just doing and observing. Not really predicting things. You're searching a large solution space and so you just try random things and hope you get lucky. (they have some good guesses of areas too look, so it isn't completely in the dark)

Some of these are really something else. Of some I have seen minor cases. "While you are changing this code, why don't you also..." is sometimes okay. Conflicting requests from reviewers, I have seen those happen due to neglect from the reviewer most in charge of the code. If they cared, they'd have used their technical competence, or rank if necessary, to set the direction.

All the simple "window managers" for Wayland seems to be tiling for some weird reason. I think Wayland adoption could be higher is if there was a simple, easy to customize basic WM that people could fork to go do their own thing. I know Weston exists, and others, but if you look at how many X11 Window Managers that have been forked of AWM or EvilWM then perhaps Weston is a little to complex.

Of all the cities in the US, you probably least need a car in Boston. Most parts are super walkable and the public transit is decent too.
You just might not have experienced decent leadership.

Servant leadership doesn't mean you do what your reports want. It means you enable your reports to make good decisions, instead of deciding for them. It doesn't mean you don't teach, or you don't share experiences.

Let me quote from the original: "The best test, and difficult to administer, is: Do those served grow as persons? Do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants?“

Do you think the senior can answer "yes" to this if they just acquiesce to everything?
Baidu sucks and isn’t really worth the time to use. Maybe it’s kuch better in Chinese, but their English results are horrible.

> all of the ops work to run your own stateful systems

Can we please call it "stateless" instead of "serverless"?
You have the code to run one. Then you're ready for the regulatory and banking issues, which are 90% of the work.
They're not even necessarily referring to non-engineering managers. It's often difficult to explain to engineering managers or other engineers why something won't work or requires more work/research if they themselves have not done the work. The engineering manager isn't even necessarily that familiar with the technologies being used or experienced in the specific problem being solved.

When digging a tunnel, there is a finite number of kinds of rock that you can hit. It's well within the realm of possibility that an experienced engineer is familiar with any of the rock they will encounter, even if they didn't expect to hit them when digging. This is generally not the case with software. Even as an experienced engineer you continually hit issues that you've never encountered before and don't know how to solve without spending a significant amount of time doing research or trying out different solutions.

The upper bounds of complexity are higher in software than construction. It's not narcissism, it's just the nature of that kind of work.
> > Scheme’s a pretty little language, but it’s not meant for building large applications.

> Weren't people saying the same about python and Java long ago?

I spent roughly a decade as a professional Python developer, and in retrospect I’d probably agree that it’s not well-suited to large applications. Why, exactly, is for another discussion.

As for Java — it’s certainly not meant for building small ones!

> How do you arrive at that conclusion?

The same way that the Scheme committee did, when they came up with R6RS: by trying to use Scheme for large systems.

It lacks features which aid building large systems (e.g. namespaces); it lacks features which enable building industrial-strength systems (e.g. the Lisp condition system or CLOS); it has features which make code more complex and tend to hinder performance (e.g. call/cc); and it even has a broken feature (dynamic-wind).

Then there are things like: conflating functions, variables & all other names; breaking NIL into NIL, () & #f. Those are partly a matter of taste, but I think also an indication of Lisp’s pragmatic nature: in practice, doing things the Lisp way is better, even though in theory doing them the Scheme way is.

> Racket at least wasnt flat iirc, is guile scheme?

Racket isn’t Scheme anymore. That’s not a bad thing, and indeed Racket is pretty amazing. I wish that the same amount of effort had been expended making Lisp better, but everyone’s gotta scratch his own itch.
I'm not sure argument by reality TV is very effective. Obviously everyone tries to budget time for the unexpected. That doesn't mean it's equally difficult in all professions.

A few start ups in NYC ( myself included) are moving to kingston , New york (upstate). In NYC everyone is hustling. If your young and ambitious and can sell yourself your skills, you will find a job. I don't know about the visa stuff. Housing IS damn expensive yeah but you can live in greenpoint, Brooklyn with roommates or move uptown ( Washington Heights) then you have jackson Heights ( Queens) or sunnyside , Queens it's cheaper then living in money makin manhattan if you have 0 connects. When you make friends you will want to network with them to find an apartment or work. You will build a network of friends and those friends who are working at companies will get you into a job. That's how it works here. People are always moving out / changing jobs. Companies are always hiring. The experience will be unforgettable. Nothing like it. After some time you'll get burned from the grind and may want to bounce somewhere else. You'll never know till you get here! and Plenty of front end jobs. Good Lucky!
> Because it could be meant in many ways, and my suspicion is that it was intended in a metaphorical way rather than literally calling for his followers to shoot up some offices

Welcome to the world of "plausible deniability". Deliberately speaking in a way that lets you defend yourself "oh I was only meaning metaphorically!" or "I was just joking!", where you intend a subset of your listeners to understand that you are speaking literally, is a common tactic. It's somewhat akin to the Motte and Bailey defense: http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/07/social-justice-and-word...

Can we use "stateless" instead of "severless"? That seems like a better term.

This is generally part of the "No Estimates" movement. I learned about it from an internal talk, but I will ask the speaker if he has any resources I can point you to.

We are not there yet, but are moving in that direction. We weren't previously even collecting the metrics required to create models in the first place, so we didn't have any data.
In most law firms, there are two classes of lawyers - employees (salaried, with bonuses) and partners (equity profit share). Generally, partnership takes close to a decade to obtain, and generally requires a buy-in into the partnership. The 'fiction', as you refer to it, is real - they are co-owners in the business, and should be treated with some level of respect.
Generally, partnership structures are closely associated with the professional services industry as it more closely aligns with the industry structure and how work is delivered - teams are often cobbled together out of the firm's employee resources, and work is overseen by one or more of the partners. As teams may be of varying sizes, it does not make sense to chain individuals to a specific 'boss' that they may or may not be working with.
Again though - these aren't things imposed by the markets. Time and again these impositions are imposed by Musk himself. He set the 5,000 car per week target, he missed it. The markets reacted when he set it, and they reacted every time he missed it. He also made the public statements about being cash flow positive and about taking on more debt.

If you look at the real market the trend is clear: There has never in the history of the stock market ever been a time when investors were more willing to invest in money-losing companies to gamble on them hitting it big. Tesla is valued by the stock market as twice as valuable as the Ford Motor Company.
