if you have a smaller set, and an equivalent distribution, smaller width of the bell curve is proportional to its hight.

> I do think men bear most of the responsibility, and [...] partly because of the sex dynamic.

Indeed, but group dynamics within the sexes are a factor, too, so the hypothesis would be incomplete without other closely and tangentially related aspects. Otherwise, if sexual attraction was the strongest drive, you'd have to expect male lab heads preferring female companions. Whereas, ironically, the opposite would have to be called sexual distraction. What do you make of that?
On the slightly more negative side: everything management tells you that's not in an email will have "never happened" when it's convenient.

When you have a conversation with anyone where you think a plan was verbally agreed on, before doing anything your first action is to go back to your desk, write it in an email, send it to them as confirmation and find at least 1 other person, ideally in your reporting line, which you can cc it too.

Because it doesn't take an actively malicious manager to screw you over - it takes literally anyone who suddenly needs to change history to their own seniors for it to fall on you, the underling.

EDIT: And the friendlier or more casual someone is, the more important this becomes.

Telosys: A Code Generation Tool by Laurent Guerin
Mentors go there from all aspects. From engineering to marketing to design. I come from a technical background, and on the first instance I did a presentation but found that it was not as useful as I had hoped. But I noticed a lack of fundamental knowledge around concepts and tech that we use on a daily basis (e.g no monitoring and a lot of manual work being done). Second time I went, I held a 3 day continuous delivery workshop introducing them to concepts like CI, CD and testing. This enabled them to deploy a simple hellow world server through a pipeline with monitoring. The feedback was that the workshop was what they needed.

If you are interested to find out more, I would suggest that you reach out to them and ask them. They have a number of initiatives (e.g coding bootcamps) and its best to understand what they have coming up and where your skills could fit in. Money no doubt would help the GSG organisation but honestly, if you can, I would go there and help on the ground. They need technical mentors more than ever.

I think it's still "easy" to find something if you are looking in terms of bespoke software for one very specific use case. Like in our company, I'm building business and pipeline tools that reflect specifically our workflow, so it is very useful for us - but utterly irrelevant for 99.9% of other people or companies, probably. Meaning, it's hard to find ideas that apply to lots of people AND possibly make money of, but it's relatively easy to find things to do that are bespoke. If you are just looking for ways to make your own life easier, not everyone else's.

Unfortunately it went with it. There were some superficial talks about it winding up in the Symbian Foundation, but those didn’t materialize.

And yes, it probably points to a major problem with a small company developing critical framework or tool components when the codebase isn’t participating in an open source license.

There were many mistakes made along the way, in retrospect.

this kind of rules Kong out for any serious applications AFAIK - especially considering that an API Gateway is supposed to be a security product.

when lived in Beijing used to commute by bike 3.5km to work, could make it in 15-18 minutes including 3-4 major junctions beating the bus even without counting waiting time, Beijing or Bangkok are perfect cities for biking in theory, completely flat as pancake plus in Beijing with bike lane separated by small fence, sadly pretty much every ride end up being angry about electric courier/freight tricycles using bike lane or blocking it, ebikes riding dangerously, cars blocking it, driving there to beat traffic jam or straight driving there in wrong direction against me and many other dangerous situations, it's miracle i didn't have accident even when following laws because most of the other people just don't do that

now in Prague with pretty much zero bike lanes and hilly terrain so i don't really bother even trying to bike here, people in general respect rules more, but there are still plenty BMW/audi/Mercedes drivers who think laws are only for poor people

I'm pretty sure (exISP) that routing costs. At a minimum you have to maintain free peering infrastructure at IXs perhaps, or if you are not a Tier 1 you basically pay for upstream access.

Its why cacheing is all ISPs really care about. Its why Akamai makes ISPs happy by adding a edge router in their network. Presumably netflix too.

Explain to me how this works. A and B remain stationary while only new space gets created between them?

By geometry, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. If A and B are two stationary objects, with a straight line being shortest distance between them. Then space is basically a twisted thread like path between A and B, More thread is created every time instant 't' than light can travel through it?

And if some one figures out a way to walk from A to B in a straight line then they can walk faster than anything that can walk on the thread?
Decent working condition have always been revolutionary for a large part of the world. Overall things haven't changed, at least not for the better.

I like a lot of what dhh says, but I think the weak part of his arguments is probably practicality. There are plenty of people that agree with him in principle, but are destined to make other choices because of the way the world works.

That said, if there ever was a time when quality of life mattered it is now. I am convinced that whichever country can scale quality of life will have success. Pretty much everyone of the established startup hubs, and even the non-established ones, are essentially limited not by knowledge, capital or workforce but quality of life.

When cities say they lack companies, or companies say they lack workforce, or the workforce say they lack salary, it is really that money isn't buying them the quality of life needed to be effective.

Not sure why so many people here are surprised that benefits of efficiency accrue to the owners of capital. That's the basic premise of capitalism in a way.

Profits float upwards, hard negotiation pushes downwards on actual workers and managements try as much as possible to reduce what's owed to actual "doers" of work.

Thanks for your feedbacks! On some of your points:
- we do allow you to use multiple Gmail accounts, back when you used it it might not have been obvious enough but you can use as many Google accounts as you'd like
- indeed we are working hard on memory usage and performance at the moment. Since the TechCrunch cover you should definitely see a difference. Let us know in our community if this is not the case
- we've fixed that since then, you can remove autostart in the settings and it works now

I don't think it has to be the end goal. In fact I think idleness should not be foisted on anyone. It's awful.

There are demonstrably many people who don't need to work (e.g. anyone with over a few millions dollars), who choose to work anyway.

It gives a sense of purpose, a reason to get up in the morning. Human beings are not well adapted to being idle. It's like a muscle - you don't want to overload it, but it needs some load to thrive. Hormesis.

Humans need stress to grow and thrive.

Even animals need work. Zookeepers don't just feed animals, they put food inside metal boxes with holes in the corners, or hidden in nooks, so the animal has to work to get at it. They understand that it's good for the animal.

Try to sleep 8 to 9 hours every day. In this JRE podcast [0], Matthew Walker, a sleep expert, claimed that sleeping poorly can decrease your performance by 30%.

Strive to maintain a good work-life balance. Burnout sucks. Your health and family are more important than work. A workplace that doesn't consider this to be the case is likely to be toxic.

As for actual software development advice... Beware blanket statements. They can help you develop a low-resolution model so you don't suffer from paralysis, but real-world problems tend to be complex and messy.

Here's an example: if you were building a traditional web app, many software engineers would probably suggest using something like PostgreSQL. That doesn't mean other database technologies don't have their place. However, PostgreSQL is able to adequately serve a large category of problems with relative ease, so it often makes for a sensible starting point. Once you become more familiarized with that domain you'll develop a higher-resolution model and you can begin to evaluate other technologies more effectively. Much of software engineering is about figuring out what tradeoffs to make.

Another example in traditional web apps is using cookies for auth. Using cookies for this purpose is well documented and pretty much supported everywhere. There's plenty of known problems with using cookies for this purpose, but the alternatives also have their own set of issues to deal with.

My final example: testing. Testing your code is great and it can be very useful, especially when refactoring or developing new features. But going for 100% code coverage is usually more trouble than it's worth. It's also very easy to end up writing a bunch of useless tests. You want to focus on the actual problem and not waste anyone's time.

Balderton raises fund dedicated to buy shares from early-stage employees
No. The input into the equation is the density of matter in space, nothing having to do with the size of the observable universe. On large scales in the visible universe, matter is fairly evenly distributed at a density of about 1 atom of hydrogen per cubic meter.

For any constant nonzero density form of matter, if you pack enough of it together in a sphere in a flat spacetime, its Schwarzchild radius will eventually exceed its radius. This is because the Schwarzchild radius is proportional to the mass, but the radius of the actual matter is proportional to the cube-root of the mass.

It's a fun thought experiment, but not physically meaningful in this universe because our spacetime is expanding, and the original calculations assume there's nothing at the edge pulling 'outward', but in our universe there is.
used to do this in open space office in Beijing, not much reason to return to my rented room after dinner and drinks with colleagues, chatting with PM staying late until 22-23 and watching movies/tv shows on decent internet at my work computer, so why even bother going to sleep back home if i have sofa here

extremely work lunch break with drinking and not much work after lunch, not that bad for someone young and single, in other offices they even encouraged people to sleep on mats under their desks, at least they can work longer hours and start earlier than hours

though after buying computer and renting better room with better internet i stopped doing it, can't say it would change much about my work/life balance

I agree to this, but in the sense that you should dig deep and understand how something works under the hood.

For example, ElasticSearch is “fast”, but what makes it so? What trade offs were made to make it “fast”?

You may start seeing patterns on how good/bad tech stack are built (aka the meta), and those meta would help you a lot down the road in knowing what type of toolset you can use, common type of problems a given architecture would exposed to.
Realize almost everyone suffers from Impostor Syndrome from time to time.

Read a lot of code, not just code in the projects you work on, but reference/framework source code, open source. Perhaps even ask a subreddit for the language/tool about good examples to learn from.

Realize that data is more important that code for the most part. So treat data like it's precious. That's one part of why I feel relation databases are better than document/object stores. I suppose this is up for debate.

Learn to say No. It's mutual respect to say No so the one asking has a chance to ask someone else. If you instead say Yes to too much and can't deliver too close to their deadline you might screw up other people's time plans.

Outside work:
Avoid eating junk food more than 1-2 times per week. Keep your weight. Go to the gym or run. Take the bike or walk to work. Sleep at least 6+ hours a day. Limit work to 40 hours/week. It's better to do 40 fresh hours than 50+ zombie hours.

I used to intern for a large Australian bank and we had a fairly complex access management workflow.

A month into the job after I'd figured out how it all works, I spent a week automating it and was promptly told I was allowed to run my scripts do it if it was kept secret from the higher-ups (to avoid the red tape and the intern they don't trust much).

This automated a backlog of work that had a team of 5-10 people scheduled on for a good year along with any future requests, a month or two after my internship I bumped into my boss again they told me they had gone back to doing it the slow way because the bosses wouldn't approve it, despite showing a 0 failure rate compared to a pretty big one from the bored employees.

Yes, but that only proves he's the best public intellectual. In a world where everyone else is worse, why would you not listen to him.

The article also says he speaks "as unintelligibly as possible", which couldn't be further from truth, so i don't know if it could be trusted. Halfway in the page it becomes obvious it's a hit piece to promote the author's book.

honest question: is work that crazy for most people in the software industry? it really doesn't square with my personal experience.

from what i've seen, most people work 10ish to 6ish under very relaxed conditions like eg a comfortable lunch and a few breaks during the day. i've also noticed that people tend to be available online outside of their work hours, but nobody really expects that nor gets mad when someone isn't.

this was true for all of our employees when i was CTO/co-founder and also for us founders most of the time. this was also true when i worked at a Series A startup and it is true in my team at Google, and it seems it'd be similar in most other teams, too.

note that i'm not taking a stance on whether what i described above is good or bad, it's just what i've observed.

I can think of a few possibilities:

- AN lens is over-engineered. They didn't have CAD to help them design a lens that is perfectly "sharp enough" at a certain resolution so just made a design that had way more resolving power than it needed.

The downside is that the AN lens probably cost more new when adjusted for inflation. e.g. Voigtlander lenses for Nikon may seem expensive but adjusted for inflation they are comparable in price to Nikon's made in Japan, all-metal lenses from back in the day.

- Sample variation. Maybe your new lens is a dud; it happens

- user error. More than once I have seen a lens review call a lens soft when the test picture is obviously not focused correctly
