I would like to know your opinion regarding the content problem that people prefer sharing their content on the established platform (simply for widest reach) which prevents new players from emerging (since they are intimidated from scraping said content, even if the original poster intended the widest reach).

Suppose there was an intermediary platform so that the user uploads his content/video once to the intermediary platform, and can then select which platforms may use the content under what conditions (i.e. perhaps for free, perhaps for a user-set minimal amount of remuneration, ...), or perhaps instead of selecting which platforms, selecting the rules to which a platform must adhere in order to distribute the content (so that new players can instantly start hosting a diverse set of content as long as they adhere to these rules). The user thus only needs to upload once.

Obviously it would require youtube etc, to provide API access for the intermediary so it can post the content without being able to hijack a user's account on youtube etc...

This would not be in their interest of course, so anyone attempting to create this intermediary upload service would face a never-ending cat and mouse game, somewhat reminescent of youtube-dl...

Perhaps instead of silly link tax rules, it would be better for governments to force platforms above a certain size/usage to provide API access such that these intermediary upload services can flourish.

They might effectively become some kind of consumer/producer protection organizations, by proposing multiple usage standards (like my video MUST NOT have ads, or perhaps the opposite for another user, my video MUST be remunerated at x cents per y views, otherwise the platform may no longer distribute my content, ...) from which their users can select...

apart from "pure format" content like music, videos, ... as soon as there is more compound structured content, like a blog post with images, it would be hard to standardize the format.

then there is the problem of authentication, especially if a user uploads a video through the intermediary, and 1 year later a new platform wishes to distribute the content on its network too, and after another year the user wants be active on this platform, there is already an account, and how does he get his login credentials?

In theory the intermediary could have a messagebox for each user, and the platform can send the credentials to the user in this messagebox, so that if interested a producer can decide to make use of his account on a new platform...

Edit: so while currently all the platforms act like publisher and printer separate the market into publishers (intermediary rights managers) and printers/distributors (big platforms like YT etc). Similar to how humans decided it was better to split up doctors and pharmacists to prevent de facto quackery of selling whatever you happen to have on hand, or cheaper deals for...
Just came here to second this. We evaluated both Kubernetes as well as Nomad for a relatively small cluster of some worker nodes and web services. In the end, the ease of standing up a Nomad cluster and the whole feel of the thing won us over.

Nomad is a single golang binary that you can run on your laptop and have a fully working working Nomad client and server, along with a builtin UI and command line tools (same binary). The story for production is the same: Throw the binary on your server, setup a systemd unit to run it and you have another Nomad node.

If you're evaluating container schedulers and are not sure what you need, take an afternoon or so and just run it locally and play with it. If there aren't any specific features about Kubernetes you could point to that Nomad does not meet my suggestion would be to get started with it first.
Whole CPU is analog, just hidden away under vendor(cadence/mentor/synopsys/etc) supplied RTL IP building blocks (GDS libraries) abstraction whose specification is highly customized to particular fab house. This lets you design logic part of the circuit without getting into analog hell.

The difference between logic part of CPU and IO is in the amount of work spend on RTL vs direct custom layout of geometric structures on the chip.
I don't understand the logic here. Who is advocating for standing all day? The purpose of a standing desk is to give you the ability to alternate between sitting and standing.

You can sit at a standing desk. Even if it's not a mechanical one, you can sit in a taller chair. You don't have to stand all day.

You can't stand up at a sitting desk unless you get a Varidesk or something. But then you have a standing desk.

You even say yourself that a standing desk can help with some select problems. What select problems does a sitting desk solve that can't be solved by sitting at a standing desk? If one helps with some problems, and one doesn't, which is the better option?

And let's not downplay the "select" problems that it helps with. Mainly back pain, nerve problems and posture issues. These are not small, trivial problems for a lot of people.

I would suggest to read up on requirements gathering, analysis and maybe negotiation. One thing is small talk and socialization - but your problems with marketing and sales are not that. The issue is not that you don't have good enough small talk. It is that you don't know what you are expected to do. That is literally requirements gathering.

Reading up on that should you allow to formalise process of communication a bit more. That in turn helps even to highly social people. It should help you even more.

Lastly, guys "that you simply give tasks to, and ultimately the job gets done" are awesome to work with, even if they don't chat much. Really. Have collegues like that and they are great to be in office or team with.

People tend to find things that they have done for a long time less complicated than something new despite it actually being quite complicated. I always ask people when they are debating stuff like this to think about how they would explain it to someone who knew next to nothing about either approaches.

JAM stack development puts the complexity on the build side but pays it back on the operational aspect and performance. I have been a Ruby developer for over 10 years and I will say that React/GraphQL is indeed much easier than a full blown Rails app both operationally and development wise. Heroku is a black box that runs Rails and provides databases/load balancers to back it. Here you are pushing your generated pages to a CDN, and using them to host your GraphQL endpoints.

I assume you have more disposable income than me.

For me this would be a gamble and like I said the chance of data recovery isn’t to high in my case that’s why I haven’t done it mainly. I had someone who works with HDD’s take a look at it and he assumed that most likely the platter itself was severely damaged/scratched. And there was something about the encryption in addition to the scratches that would’ve made recovery not that likely.

Please note that I have absolutely no idea about HDD data recovery and am only remembering what I’ve been told a few years ago.
>> the incredible human cost of it

It's a cost I'm willing to accept... So long as that human is not me ;p
And they all leveraged some incredible pieces of infrastructure that were built up for them over several years by those with more experience, the primary examples being the Linux Socket library and the TCP/IP protocol.

Building an application that can "scale" doesn't mean it's well built. Modern software engineering sits on the shoulders of giants, especially older ones who came out of research labs.
I suggest you read "how to talk to anyone, anytime and anywhere" by Larry King. It is not a bs self-help book. It is written by an expert in a very professional way. There are actionable insights in it. I am a senior engineer, I used to find it hard to make conversation but now it's easy. The main take away for me is that the easiest way to start a conversation is to make it about the other person, people love to talk about themselves.
>But what bothers me is the snow-clone nature of that statement that Heinlein was not recognized.

It's flat out not true by any meaningful measurement. As the peer comment said, Heinlein, Asimov, and Clarke were widely recognized as the big 3 of a certain era of science fiction. Maybe Asimov was the best known of the 3 to the broader public if only because he was so prolific. Clarke basically retired to Sri Lanka and neither wrote nor spoke much after that. (And even many science fiction fans might have trouble remembering one of his book titles today.)

But, as for Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land isn't my favorite but it did have a degree of mainstream success. And he was very well known, if somewhat controversial, in genre circles.

I think a lot of PKD's cachet comes from TV and film adaptations. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of his writing but there have been quite a few popular and/or critical TV shows and movies adapted to greater or lesser degrees from his books and short stories.

I truely believe that everything we create in life, which includes a new venture, can be viewed in the frame of self actualization. To me this means the motive to realize one's full potential.

To me that is the essence of what an entrepreneur is trying to do, just in the context of co-creation with the market.

Yes, but the point here is that the first event is unobservable and thus not worth considering.

Of course this is overly dramatic and just wrong but you have a good point, in very very very long time frame this is viable option and provides big "goal" to achieve.

Like I said above I retired from this business a decade ago but I have a hunch that IP is going to be a better experience over docsis or any other broadband link. I don't see much complaining from fios/uverse customers, and I worked independently on a metro WAN iptv development in moscow, which worked pretty well when the residents had fast-ethernet connections, once we got the infrastructure to handle all the multicast traffic.
The issue is that "now" is not well-defined since it depends on the reference frame. Therefore what we consider "already happened" another observer may consider "still in the future".

All observers will agree on the order of events if and only if the light from each event traveled to the next before the next happened.

Cloud Foundry for Developers
I wonder if there's a way to ask the right questions so they can come to the conclusion that X is a bad idea, on their own and before doing it. For example, asking about the merits of X, then acknowledging them and asking about possible downsides. If they don't mention the downside you had in mind, ask about other potential downsides. You'll also learn more about their decision-making process, how deeply they've thought through it, what weights they ascribe to the various pros/cons, etc.

Related to the concept of Strategic Questioning (https://www.context.org/iclib/ic40/peavey/)
One key aspect you skipped over is it's self-reversible. 'A' becomes 'N', and applying it again 'N' becomes 'A'.

"rot13 is reversible" -> "ebg13 vf erirefvoyr" -> "rot13 is reversible".

"rot8000 is also reversible" -> "类籸籽籁簹簹簹 籲籼 籪籵籼籸 类籮籿籮类籼籲籫籵籮" -> "rot8000 is also reversible"

Rot13 is English-alphabet only so it skips numbers, while rot8000 doesn't have this limitation because it uses the larger unicode set.
yep. If anything, Henlein seeing the networking of computers as something that develops much more slowly than practical need for spaceflight has to go down as a big miss.

Doesn't something lasting 4,000 years imply massive over-engineering?
For starters, the software running on a mainframe can include persistent storage.
This. Kubernetes (or whatever other container scheduler) might feel like overkill, but if all they do is force you to adopt a container-centric / 12-factor way of building your applications it was worth trying them. And once you've adopted that workflow it's a no-brainer to go from a single node to a cluster which will dynamically allocate the workloads it runs.

Running a small container cluster at work has even changed how I setup single-host projects in my spare time: I will build everything into a container, bind-mount whatever it might need, create a simple systemd unit that just runs / rms the docker container on start and stop. Bliss.

Absolutely. The obsession with that obfuscated our priorities, 100%.

If you want to interpret it that way. If you have some idea of cosmological scale and time frames you're probably willing to read the headline in those terms.

After all at 8,000 light years what we're seeing right now "just happened"... near the beginning of recorded human history. Does absolutely everything need to be written from the perspective of default human biases?

Some of your complaints come from the fact that LabVIEW is pretty niche. It would need at least an order of magnitude more developers to see numbers like C/C++. That's why you're not finding much online help.

There is also the fact that LabVIEW is old. Like REALLY old. LabVIEW came out over 30 years ago and as such has a lot of legacy cruft along with lacking some of the more modern goals such as good scaling source control. LabVIEW was also designed by a hardware first company and has always been geared towards building that hardware ecosystem.

Finally, yea, poor programming practices exist in all languages. In visual languages, it makes them hard to read. Sometimes this forces you to be clever to reduce the flow complexity by increasing the logic or mathematical complexity which is it's own can of programming worms we could debate for hours.

This is a throw-away account. I have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and don't disclose that to the community or my employers. My advice might be helpful as people with my condition have difficulty in the workplace.

A part of becoming a senior/lead developer is, in my experience, largely a social endeavor. At some point the problems one faces are not tractable for a single engineer to face alone. There is a finite limit on your time and many unknown problems that can overwhelm even the most astute and exemplary developer cannot be avoided. This is where you need to learn to delegate responsibility for certain tasks to other team members and learn to lead everyone in the right direction towards a common goal.

Your intuitions are correct: this is a skill you will have to learn and good on you for asking for advice. I treat it like another engineering problem: a distributed consensus protocol with high latency in the average case.

For reading material other people have recommended _How to Win Friends and Influence People_. I have found the advice in this book to be practical for dealing with interpersonal relationships in the workplace and learning how to gain and use influence. Influence is a social currency that I have found to be effective in negotiating disagreements and convincing people to adopt your ideas.

For learning how to work in a team as a leader or manager I also recommend _Extreme Ownership_ by Jocko Willinck [0]. It has provided me a framework to use which has been helpful as my career has transitioned into leadership and management. I have been fortunate enough that my team has been receptive to these practices although getting there has been difficult.

One of the harder lessons to learn is how to deliver constructive criticism and feedback in an engineering context. This is especially difficult for someone like me when communicating with junior engineers on my team in code review. It's one of my greater weaknesses but is sometimes an asset when I do succeed at showing someone why type theory matters or how an appropriate use of a data structure can improve performance. The problem I have the most difficulty with is when a senior colleague on my team insists on a factually incorrect assertion and forces their opinion by using misleading questions and rhetoric. Unfortunately I have not come across any books or courses on constructive criticism to share.

I do find the Recurse Center's Code of Conduct to be a good guide as well: https://www.recurse.com/code-of-conduct

> That so many are ready to live by luck, and so get the means of commanding the labor of others less lucky, without contributing any value to society! And that is called enterprise! I know of no more startling development of the immorality of trade, and all the common modes of getting a living. The philosophy and poetry and religion of such a mankind are not worth the dust of a puffball. The hog that gets his living by rooting, stirring up the soil so, would be ashamed of such company. If I could command the wealth of all the worlds by lifting my finger, I would not pay such a price for it.

-- Henry David Thoreau, "Life Without Principle"
Lots of good advice, so I'll attack it from a different angle.

In my experience step 0 is to acknowledge that these personality traits are not essential parts of your identity. We all go through periods where we are more or less introverted.

That doesn't mean change is easy, but it's an important foundation for making the change.

After that I would focus on practice above all else. I would seek out social activities ( hiking groups, maker groups, charity groups, etc) where you can casually be social. Try to take on leadership roles (e.g. organizing meetups, taking minutes, recruitment, etc).

There's tons of great advice, but much like learning a language, the best way to learn the "social language" is by doing.

Getting this experience out of the office first is a risk-free way to build your social strengths.

Really great topic thanks for bringing it up.

Thanks for that post. That is impressive that you went with the best/fastest tech available today rather than just leverage what was done with Harrys. I am interested with what you actually used for the e-commerce part of it. Are you interacting with your systems that you made for Harrys with GraphQL or did you use a JAM stack orientated solution like gocommerce?
You are right, there are two points in space-time (the definition of the word "event" in special relativity). But the "space time distance" between them is zero! (another way to say that is that the two points have light-like separation)

All of the weirdness of special relativity stems from that definition of "space time distance", which is just an extension of Pythagoras' theorem:

distance = sqrt(x^2+y^2+z^2-(c*t)^2)

x, y, and z are the differences in spacial coordinates between the two events (in a given coordinate system) and t is the difference in time coordinates (in the same coordinate system). The minus sign is where the interesting effects stem from.

Well considering that we know everything pretty much about most of everyday physics [...]

That's true and also not true. Yes, we have a working theory that explains essentially everything with unprecedented accuracy as long as you don't wander too far outside of everyday length and energy scales. But on the other hand we still do not really understand basic quantum mechanics almost a century after its discovery or at the very least there is no consensus about what the theory actually says. Quantum mechanics is not even self-consistent.
