Not sure if they cover...

A typical scenario is that you are in a corporate culture where, for whatever reason your manager does not "manage down", like at all. Meaning that they are not giving you direction and nor are they listening to any needs, direction from you (ok, maybe once per quarter?). Your interactions with them (if you are letting them set the schedule) are very limited. Now that can be great or bad.

Typically though these people (by essence of being someone you report to) control more corporate power than you do. They can perhaps authorize work, hire 10s of additional resources, approve muilti million dollar projects, set a budget for next year, etc. So it becomes imperative for you to 'manage up' if you want to achieve more than what you are being fed.

Just how to do that, maybe this book covers. Hope so.

I live in Oslo and have similar mobility issues (Ehlers Danlos syndrome). I am not classified as disabled, but it is hard for me to walk long distances or stay standing for more than about 30 minutes in general. Luckily, almost everywhere I want to go is less than half a kilometer from the nearest bus/tram/metro stop. If I really need to, I can still take a taxi to anywhere in the city center.

All that being said, Oslo is NOT a good city to live in if you need a wheelchair or crutches (which I do, with unfortunate regularity). 500 meters might as well be 100 kilometers if you are on crutches in the winter. Even if where you are going is right next to a train stop, the stops are not very accessible (long ramps way out of the way etc). The curbs do not consistently have ramps at crosswalks. The sidewalks are often covered in ice in the winter. There are stairs everywhere. Even with a car and being able to park near your destination, you still dealt with these issues.

So, I guess my point is, Oslo making the city center mostly car free is not what makes it unfriendly for people with mobility issues. Taking public transportation is still better than parking and walking wherever. But it still sucks if you have crutches.

The opposite of tariffs is not "completely unrestricted trade imbalances".

The opposite of tariffs is common quality, safety, labor, ecological impact requirements.

Tariffs are just a tax on one part of the local population to subsidise another part. Tariffs are paid by the importer, not the exporter.

For the exporter, not being able to export to a particular country, if there are other markets available, is a hindrance, not a killer.

The US is a big market for Chinese solar panels, but so is the rest of the world.

China was a big customer for US soybeans, now it buys none. This has ruined US farmers, but the global soybean market has taken up that slack.

Tariffs are dumb, clunky, 19th century tools for a global, multinational world. We need to accelerate not just the flow of capital, but also of labor, we need to make sure that the benefits of development are shared, not "trickled down".

We need to bring the 3rd world to the level of the 1st, not drag the 1st down to the 3rd. It's not a zero-sum game.

Yeah, people just seemingly realized that there's nothing special about FastCGI that couldn't be done with plain http. And as a bonus, the app itself can work as a server in the dev env, and testing is simpler.

OP's argument boils down to this:

> it is always possible to rewrite any transaction... in order to replace abort logic in the code with if statements that conditionally check the abort conditions [in real-world systems].

I'm reminded of the original criticism for using NoSQL databases for systems of record - sure, removing relational constraints can give you massive performance benefits, but all data is inherently relational and denying it was guaranteed to come back to bite you someday, as it did for many early adopters.

Of course it's always possible to front-load the reasons to abort the transaction to the client and instruct the client not to commit transactions that wouldn't be committable. But whether that's always possible in real-world systems? That needs a formal proof. My inclination is to dismiss this claim - not only does shifting verification to the client introduce security concerns, but the conservation of complexity guarantees that a wait is a wait regardless of whether the client needs to wait until the server has instructed the client that the client's proposed commit would be legal, or whether the client needs to wait until the server has verified that the commit was accepted.

I'm not saying Calvin / FaunaDB won't have its uses - but I do reject the claim that any system that currently uses a relational database could switch to Calvin/FaunaDB, retain all of its current properties and guarantees, and become more performant in the process.

The whole point of having a government is to deduplicate the work that each individual would otherwise have to do. Instead of constantly having to second-guess whether the company you're dealing with has malicious intentions or is acting negligently (something which you might not be able to notice without specialized knowledge), you can rely on the government having set a standard of legal behavior that the company is incentivized to follow. Any attempt to decentralize power that also decentralizes the work required to exercise that power is going to fail in the majority of cases.

That doesn't mean you can only choose between "anything goes" and "here's a list of government-approved algorithms, everything else is illegal". But it does mean that instead of individuals developing tools and heuristics to protect themselves, the government should mandate the creation of such tools.

That's essentially what GDPR is about. Instead of having to find out for yourself how your data is being used, the company needs to tell you. Instead of having to write a crawler yourself to get your data back out, the company has to provide it to you. And so on.

The power of making the final decision still remains with the user, but the government's job is to ensure that the decision is as easy as possible.

The problem is that there's two very different things achieved by the H1B process:

a) Getting talented entry-level employees who graduate from US schools to stay in the US

b) Getting talented experienced employees to move to the US

The H1B is actually rather bad for b) due to the long processing time (6 months) during which a candidate cannot work in the US and high chance of not winning the lottery. Revamping the O1 visa makes more sense for that case. So that leaves a) for which salary requirements based around experienced employees make little sense.

One of the first things mentioned on that Github page is the following warning:

WARNING: PUTTING NEWPIPE OR ANY FORK OF IT INTO GOOGLE PLAYSTORE VIOLATES THEIR TERMS OF CONDITIONS.

Newpipe is available on F-Droid but that version is sometimes a bit old. The project maintainers suggest the following order of preference for getting access to the latest version:

In order to get this new version, you can:

- Build a debug APK yourself. This is the fastest way to get new features on your device, but is much more complicated, so we recommend using one of the other methods.

- Download the APK from releases and install it.

- Update via F-droid. This is the slowest method of getting updates, as F-Droid must recognize changes, build the APK itself, sign it, then push the update to users.
"But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation."

- Arthur Eddington

Another great quote:

"A theory is the more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises, the more different kinds of things it relates, and the more extended its area of applicability. Therefore the deep impression that classical thermodynamics made upon me. It is the only physical theory of universal content which I am convinced will never be overthrown, within the framework of applicability of its basic concepts."

The bank still controls this delay, and deems it acceptable - you can't extend the delay, and use the extension to withdraw thousands and thousands of extra euros! Chances are, the costs of a real-time system, vs the cost of unauthorised overdrafts isn't a tradeoff worth fixing for them.

(That and, at least here in Ireland, the banks can and do charge for unauthorised overdrafts - which is ridiculous IMHO, but that's a separate thing)
Today, app servers are mostly separated from front-end servers because, it turns out, it's best to not hold on to too much memory and/or threads while waiting for a slow client to receive their stuff. So async servers like Nginx are used on the front tier and they knock to app servers over the net.

But Nginx does have a Lua module, and, I think, Perl. Afaik both are in the free version. Mostly used to augment configuration, or for lightweight interfacing directly with databases (ahem Redis and Memcached cough).

Who would know the employee's work better, her manager or the promotion committee? This reminds me of an interview process that does not include checking references.

A system like you describe would seem to favour the employee who is adept at promoting her work. It also might disadvantage employees who are better performers than promoters. It would fail to detect employees who are poor or average performers but adept at covering that up.

Does the promotion committee consult with the manager?

A system like this suggests the company is concerned about favouritism and may not trust managers. It also suggests they may be willing to blindly trust self-promoting employees without knowing much about them.

How does the system account for high-performing employees that are too busy working to prepare presentations for promotion committees? Is there no such thing as an unsolicited promotion based on performance under this system?

Surely managers are reporting on the employees they manage. Assuming that includes any information on performance, then a system like this could allow the company to ignore the issue of rewarding high-performers with promotions, unless and until those employees came forward and presented to a promotion committee.

However a system like this does seem potentially beneficial for employees who feel they are undervalued by their manager.

> Each inbound WebSocket connection runs your program in a dedicated process.
Connections are isolated by process.

I see you and 10,900 other "software developers" get the point of WebSocket. It's especially "impressive" when you written the whole thing in Go and could have used goroutines and channels, which could easily handle hundreds of thousand of connections (maybe millions). Terrible design!

For a long time I thought every software developer must be smart, but a lot of them don't see the big picture very often.

Why this bothers me so much? You created something that a lot of developers think is good enough, so less innovation will happen and more and more slow websites will appear because of tech like this...
Xoogler here: I was promoted L5 -> L6 (senior -> staff SWE) in 2015, so I can talk a bit about this.

Your manager can actually be helpful, but the process is byzantine. In my case, my promo committee approved my promo. However, at L6 there was an automatic review of all promos to that level by a 2nd committee. The review committee denied my promo. My manager came in at this point and lodged an appeal on my behalf to the review committee's decision. That appeal took the promo to a 3rd committee that ultimately approved it.

I did not know any of the details of what was happening. I only learned what happened in my 1:1 with my manager when he told me the whole story. He was so happy and proud of himself that he managed to help me get promoted. The sad thing is that this was the 1:1 where I told him that I was leaving for Netflix (much better offer due to non-monetary factors).

The truly kafka-esque part of this: Since promo at Google is a huge deal, and since you if you are hired back, you retain the level at which you departed at, I really wanted to leave as a L6. So I delayed my start at Netflix until my promo went through. I resigned effective a day after the effective promo date. However, in the HR system, the resignation cancelled the promo. So I had to jump through some hoops to get the promo re-instated. I know it went through, because I had friends check go/epitaphs and I eventually got my promo jacket..

There are two other reasons for having a small but nonzero level of inflation.

Your example (that you need a nonzero level in order to have something to reduce -- else your only alternative is asset sales which is a much worse option for many reasons) is probably the most important. Another is that measuring the economy is quite inexact (or coarse) and has a lot of latency, so you need a little "sloop" and you want that to be positive rather than negative for the reason you gave. This is no different than any other engineering consideration: you want your characteristic error to be slightly small or slightly large depending on how the piece you're making fits with another. Third, a little inflation encourages investment; if you leave all your money in the mattress it will lose (hopefully only a little) value over time, so you are encouraged to at least put it in a bank, if not into some more productive asset.

In general I think the last point is an important and good one, but a downside is that people who do not have much savings (live paycheck to paycheck) and who have no other defence against downward wage pressure do suffer what you nicely refer to as "de-facto theft through the back door" and that is an overlooked source of real misery. I'm not sure what central banks can do about it though; seems like it should be the responsibility of the actual government.

By the way ultimately the Fed's reductio job description (pace the "dual mandate") is to make the money supply match the level of economic activity as closely as possible, nothing more. If you don't issue new currency but more people are born, consuming more haircuts and building more homes, then you end up with deflation, which causes the economy to grind down and makes everyone miserable. If you issue to much you get inflation which causes the economy to grind down and makes everyone miserable. They have a small number of tools to do it and pretty crude observational tools but still have ended up more consistent than when currency was linked to stuff not at all correlated with economic activity (the availability of metals). Just look at the economic crashes (sometimes more than one a decade) of the 19th century triggered by the gold strikes of California, the Yukon and Victoria, as examples.

As mentioned Podman 1.0 should not require sudo. But another advantage of Podman is that even when it does use sudo, there is traceability back to to user who invoked it (by checking the loginuid). This works because Podman forks a user process to execute instead of making a call to the Docker daemon which then executes (and uses the init loginuid).

Interesting how different people arrive at similar ideas. Many years ago I created a retro-like "virtual computer" in Java, called simpleJ, to let teenagers learn how to program by creating simple arcade games. It also had an IDE like environment, with a step by step debugger that could draw a diagram of run time data-structures (arrays, linked lists, trees, etc.), a tile editor, a sprite editor, and a even a book teaching you how to program a video game. You can take a look at it at http://simplej.com/ (in Spanish).
