I'm reminded of the "Feynman Algorithm":

1. Write down the problem.
2. Think real hard.
3. Write down the solution.

This is a joke of course, but much of the real 10xness is invisible. It certainly doesn't look like typing. Perhaps quite a lot of it occurs off screen, in conversations, whiteboards, on the computers of colleagues. I'll give you two analogies:

In some ways it's like one of those "bullet hell" shoot-em-up games, but played out over weeks or months. There are all manner of mistakes that can derail a project but only become obvious later (e.g. poor dependency or architecture choices), and there are all manner of techniques that may let you skip a section or avoid a whole category of problems, perhaps at the cost of requiring more immediate skill (e.g use of higher level but unfamiliar programming languages like Haskell or APL). Someone with 10xness dodges all the bullets and takes the correct shortcuts, while people with less talent and experience mistake the one for the other or don't see it coming.

Or there is "bug sniping", which I think is the place I've been able to make "10x" contributions: it's possible for your colleagues to be simply stuck on something, consuming a lot of time for no progress. Maybe they can manage a workaround, but at an efficiency cost - like people driving slightly broken cars which you have to open the passenger's side first to unjam the driver's door. This is the field in which puzzle-solving ability really helps. It's just that the puzzle has been created accidentally by other developers or yourself.
In Japan, the clothes hanging conditions are part of the morning weather report. They show different t-shirt icons on the map, X for don’t hang, bulls eye for hang it, triangle for “not such a good day to line dry”.

In some sense the ruler-and-compass constructions are even more computable than the natural numbers: Any (first-order) statement in Euclidean geometry is either true or false and there is an algorithm (on a Turing machine) that can compute it. Natural numbers don't have this property due to Gödel incompleteness.

In practice, anything you do with a ruler and compass has an equivalent representation in polynomials that is exactly computable.

You can buy a heat pump drier for less than $500 in Germany, with the premium brands' models around $700. Their energy consumption is about half that of a condensation drier. At German electricity prices (ca 25ct/kWh), it's not hard to see why heat pump driers have gained significant market share.

And for the record, the heat pump is used to dehumidify the processing air. The air is still heated using electricity. It just doesn't waste as much heat.

Bottom line is that it's all a case by case basis. However I'll always warn against slicing microservices too thin. Each slice is a moving part outside of the machine and therefore brings in additional risk. I recently refactored/rewrote a monolithic project into a few fairly chunky services. Each one is sliced by a broad context. The only reason I did it was because the monolithic app required separate physical deployments per client due to data sharing restrictions and the service model (I won't call it micro) allows sharing of the data I'm able (and should) share between them. Perhaps we need a name for the model in between monolithic and "micro"-services. Maybe Macro Services?

If you do fractional scaling on a svg image, pixels will not align to the pixel grid and the image will look blury. You won't notice that on big svg images, but tiny ui icons will definitely look blurry.

There was even a (never implemented) proposal to allow svg files to handle this problem.

https://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/WG/wiki/Proposals/SVG_hintin...

That's why svg icons are often designed using a 24x24 pixel grid, so you can scale them at 48X48 (x2), 72x72 (x3), 96x96 (x4) and they remain pixel perfect and crisp at those sizes.
>> you have to purchase new hardware every 3 to 5 years

> You really don’t.

That's not my experience, it depends on how lucky you get. I still have a Core Duo iMac and that one didn't last longer than 5 years.

Anyway, it would be easier for me if Apple made compelling hardware, but none of the current offers appeal to me in any way. They don't even sell iMacs with mate screens, and let's not speak about the keyboards or lack of extensibility.

I purchased an Amd 1800X machine with 32GB RAM and Geoforce 1080 together with a 42 inch monitor for peanuts. Why would I spend the same amount of money on an iMac with 8GB RAM, slower processor, and smaller, but very glary display?

Surely Apple has their customer base and appealing products for many people. I'm just not one of them any longer. (I used to have an Aluminum Powerbook Pro G4 - that was some quality. But now? They even come with power cables that are too short!)

>Just curious: what were the problems you faced?

Deprecated Carbon dependencies, deprecated GUI calls in Cocoa, problems with high DPI displays, problems with Gatekeeper and signing, problems with 32bit->64bit transition. Basically, whenever a new MacOS version came out, I wasn't sure whether my app would continue running. Sometimes it did, sometimes it didn't, sometimes the GUI was messed up.

To be fair, the real problem was more on the Hackintosh side: Every problem could eventually be fixed with a simple recompile. Unfortunately, every time I had to set up a new virtual machine with the new OS, make a new Hackintosh installation and try to get a new OS image, and as you might imagine these come with different hacks and different obscure instructions every time, especially when you run them in virtual machines.

>you can distribute unsigned binaries

That's what I do right now, but users will pester you with bug reports and you have to explain to them every time again how to manually open the application and allow Gatekeeper to run it. That's especially annoying if you believe, like I do, that Gatekeeper is fairly insecure and can be broken or circumvented by any skilled hacker anyway (as past bug reports have illustrated).

Even if the general narrative were completely false in a story, some level of ‘realism’ is an almost absolute requirement for a story to be enjoyed and retold.

Just yesterday, I told my two year old a story about how he was playing in the playground with his best friend T-Rex, collecting acorns, and a family of talking squirrels came down and asked if they could have some, then they invited them up to their treehouse to play.

An absurd story, to be sure, but also — the playground was real, acorns are real, squirrels are real, the fact that my son likes to collect acorns is real. There’s lots of true information available in even deeply silly stories.

This is something I've considered for some time now. I have a beefy skylake Xeon with plenty of ECC-ram and VT-d, I'm considering letting it replace my Mac Pro at home using a VT-d passthrough for GPU. Basically I prefer macOS as my desktop OS but running KVM in the bottom or similar hypervisor would be so neat (I'd prefer illumos but that feels like a nogo for these usecases).

Do you know how a GTX780 would behave in macOS with VT-d, one was gifted to me from a friend and colleuge and if it's usable for this I'd like to use it (I have no real need for a beefy GPU as long as I can run a couple of high resolution monitors). If not which is the cheapest (and least powerconsuming) GPU you'd recommend?

Haven't been in the Hackintosh scene for a good 8 years so things seems to have changed quite a bit since then.

> This attitude is fine for personal projects, but it does not scale when working with other people.

True, but the same is true of Go, which may be surprising to people. Despite its claims, Go didn't solve this problem.

One reason is that larger projects typically start to invent their own abstractions on top of the base language and Go is no exception here, in fact, what with its lack of some common abstractions, built-in support for code generation, frequent use of external add-ons (like go vet etc.), Go very much encourages this. And so you're going to have to learn specifics of larger projects just like with "complex" languages. The solution to this problem is meticulous and somewhat restricted code style standard, but that's a solution that works with "complex" languages just as well, in fact, I'd argue that even better.

The other reason is that the Go language is not just the Go language. That is, what with the lack of abstractions for error handling, code re-use, etc., people end up following a bunch of conventions, styles, patterns and using external tools (like the already mentioned go vet). And so in effect the language becomes "the base" + "lore". This is of course true of any language. With Go and early Java, for example, this becomes more pronounced, since the base part is very small, larger parts need to be taken care of by the "lore". This is why Design Patterns become so popular in the Java world.
And this why it's not good to have the base part too small, which is the problem of Go. Of course, the other extreme is equally bad - that is, when the base part is too large, which is the problem of C++, where now "lore" has to take care of deprecating/removing language features.

I feel like the authors of Go decided to do the opposite of what C++ does and thought that since C++ is horrendous, doing the opposite would yield a great result. But unfortunatelly that's not the way things work. You can't just negate someone's bad approach and expect great results.

> Only almost formal, exceedingly polite and necessary conversations are part of the social norm

This does not describe Finland at all. If you go to a convenience store in Japan and buy a pack of gum, the clerk will go through an elaborate script of welcoming you to the store, reciting how much your purchase costs, how much cash they receive from you, how much change they give you in return, and thanking you for your custom. In Finland, more likely than not you can complete exactly the same transaction without either party saying a word (except maybe the clerk telling you the total).

My worry. As was mentioned in the article these billionaires have teams of lawyers / accountants working to ensure the money stays in their hands. What's keeping them from having those teams of lawyers concocting vapor-corps in these opportunity zones (or whatever the loophole is) which will make little to no positive (and maybe negative) impact on the opportunity zone while ensuring the billionaires keep the incentives regardless.

EDIT: Or worse yet there will be organizations whose sole purpose is to take in billionaires money, do as little work as possible, and generate enough paperwork to ensure the billionaires qualify for the tax incentives.
Hello fingerprint scanner!
I don't get how this is emotional blackmail one bit.

He presents a solid well reasoned point on meritocracy and inequality that's reflected by many and has quantitative evidence.

I think the views on the subject that you're peddling might be a little emotionally manipulated.
>Sorting people by ‘merit’ will do nothing to fix inequality

No one ever said it would, nor would we want it to. Concentration of capital and talent is how progress gets made after all - a million labs with $10 research budgets aren't going to be able to compete with one lab with a research budget of $10,000,000. That was one of the fatal flaws of Mao's Great Leap Forward, a billion Chinese farmers trying to produce steel in their back yards was overall much less productive than a few massive steel plants with dedicated professionals and experts on staff would've been.

Instead meritocracy hopes to fix injustice in the inequality of our world, so that those who have more have earned it and those who have less earned that too. It is an impossible ideal, obviously, but the point is to strive for it always even knowing we can never reach it.

>As wealth increasingly reflects the innate distribution of natural talent, and the wealthy increasingly marry one another, society sorts into two main classes, in which everyone accepts that they have more or less what they deserve.

The problem with this hypothetical society isn't that the most meritorious have more wealth, but rather that they have all the wealth. Although those with the most merit do deserve a bigger slice of the pie (IMO anyway), they obviously don't deserve all the pie. One of the benefits of meritocracy is the old phrase "a rising tide lifts all boats", but that isn't true if the top percent eats all the benefits of their own capital investments.

>The ideal of meritocracy, Young understood, confuses two different concerns. One is a matter of efficiency; the other is a question of human worth.

It's not a confusion, it's just how humans are wired. "Moron" originally had no negative connotation, but over time it gained a profound one. Similarly "plebeian" wasn't originally an insult, but now it is. Heck the ultimate evil force in most stories, the "villain", derives his name from the latin term for a low status farm hand (villanus)

Anything associated strongly with the "least efficient" rung of society will inevitably become tainted in this fashion, as human beings are inherently status-oriented creatures looking for some way to put down others and elevate ourselves. It's an unfortunate part of our nature as a species.
> While the original Pentium, a superscalar x86, was an amazing piece of engineering, it was clear the big problem was the complex and messy x86 instruction set. Complex addressing modes and a minimal number of registers meant few instructions could be executed in parallel due to potential dependencies. For the x86 camp to compete with the RISC architectures, they needed to find a way to "get around" the x86 instruction set.

I've always struggled to understand why they didn't simply retire the x86 instruction set by the early 90s.

The best reason I've been given is an existing body of x86 software, but that's obviously nonsense as demonstrated by the Transmeta Crusoe and Apples's move from 68k to PPC to x86.
I'm pretty sure the reason "younger people" leave "dinosaur companies" is because they aren't happy. What causes that unhappiness is a wide spectrum. It could be poor team leads who let the young person's peers waste time while they carry the weight. It could be compensation at large companies is based on past performance rather than future potential growth. It could be because it sounds more impressive to a young person to say they worked at X new hotness tech company, etc.

Your job as team lead, however, is pretty clear. You lead a team to create value for your organization. Professional development is an obvious tool in that toolbox. Finding ways to limit or restrict exploratory development in order to reduce risk is another.

I replied ”Why do you ask a question if you don’t care about the answer?”
