Here is a collection of related advice I put together useful for managers of software developers:
https://github.com/pdfernhout/High-Performance-Organizations...

It includes, among other things, a link to the Khan Academy Engineering Management Reading List.

See especially the first book on the list about a need for "slack" (free time, not the software) called "Slack: Getting Past Burnout, Busywork, and the Myth of Total Efficiency" by Tom DeMarco". The summary: "There is a tradeoff between efficiency (meeting previous well-defined needs with minimal effort) versus effectiveness (meeting newly emerging needs with flexibility and responsiveness through organizational learning). If you optimize only for efficiency in meeting previous needs from past opportunities, you will by necessity eliminate your organizations's capacity to respond effectively to future needs from newly emerging opportunities. This ability to learn and grow as an organization requires "slack" time. Middle management has a vital role to play in organizational adaptability -- but only if they are not over-scheduled."

Tom DeMarco also previously co-wrote "Peopleware: Productive Projects and Team", another excellent book on software management.

Another informative and funny book in that area is by Michael Lopp: "Managing Humans: Biting and Humorous Tales of a Software Engineering Manager"

Bottom line: you have essentially switched to a new field even if computers are still involved so you need time for self-education and practice and failures and recoveries. As in, ultimately, years to get really good at this new profession the same way it took years and thousands of mistakes to get good at software development as a programmer... (Although mistakes with people are often more personally painful than mistakes that just the compiler yells at you about.)

Something else to be aware of (may not apply to you) is that many of the best software developers have some degree of Asperger's -- but people with Asperger's often have issues dealing with human relationships unless they consciously learn various skills for dealing with people that many other non-Aspies just seem to have intuitively. And even when they get good at those skills (sometimes better than non-Aspies because they make understanding all that a focus or obsession), an Aspie using the logical primary CPU part of your brain all day to do what many other people do essentially with an emotion co-processor can leave one feeling drained at the end of the day. So "promotion" from software developer to manager may often be a step backwards in career satisfaction for top developers. Anyway, that is just another complexity on top of all the other issues a new manager of any sort has to deal with. But as you point out, being a manager has its own satisfaction in helping others grow, so if you can get enough positive feedback from seeing your own leverage increase that way, the benefits of transitioning to becoming a manager may eventually outweigh the costs (especially once the people and organizational skills needed to excel become more routinized).

Invite team members to the screenings, get them to ask questions and understand people. After a while, the member could do it all on their own, and maybe even train someone else. Try different people, look for talents inside team :)

At one point, you can give away resume reading too. And talking with HRs will get easier (more repetitive/automated) after a while; try to engineer a way for that.
Somehow, I feel like this is starting to sound like managers shouldn't do any work.
Managers aren't supposed to be coding as their primary responsibility.
I mean if you can find someone willing to do managerial responsibilities, then go for it. Just make sure you're not the one taking advantage of them and reward them for it.
Just finishing integrating hookrouter into my current project. I like it a lot so far! Very easy to implement and reason around.

On a certain page my user is filling out a form, and I want to confirm before they can leave, to prevent loss of unsaved data.

I think it would be better if this was baked into the package somehow. I'd want something simple where you could set it for a whole page and it applies to children and parents. I also would prefer to be able to pass any function, in case window.confirm() isn't good enough.
Worked for many. Few things work for all people. Some need more time, others never get it.

What's important is if it's better than the baseline of not doing what he suggests.

As someone who writes copy for a living, I can tell you one reason that happens. The client may insist on a word count or an agency links payment to word count. If the client insists that a page must have 500 words of copy and they’ll pay me X amount for those words, they’re going to get 500 words whether or not that’s the right choice.

It's not necessary to assume that it's more important to express a personal dislike or suggest that it's counterproductive. So the fallacy here is strawman.
Yes, that is what I meant. For example, EK202 is unique to Emirates. Even if they change the airplane, the flight number remains constant.

Absolutely this. You will want the feedback from the existing team anyway right? Why not have them form their opinion first, and only talk to the candidates that pass their screening?

I have come to loathe narrative-form journalism, and I think this is why.

Headline: Elon Musk will push people through tubes at 300mph.

I'm a life-long (but intermittent) NYT reader. Coverage of SpaceX (in NYT, WSJ, and WaPo) changed how I think of journalism.

Faced with the usual issue of good newspapers getting every topic you know about not-quite right, variously wrong, I used to explain it by an analogy. It was like when newspapers closed their foreign offices. Loss of ground truth, of sanity checking, of insight and nuance. An abundance of misinterpretation and missing the point. My analogy was that for science, and tech policy, and diplomacy, and engineering, and manufacturing, and so much else, the foreign offices were closed. Generalist journalists, not embedded in the various professional communities of expertise, writing from afar, and getting it variously wrong.

What struck me about SpaceX coverage was the process failure. Not the getting things wrong - that was unsurprising. But there was no sign of learning, of process improvement. For instance, there was a successful short-term disinformation PR campaign targeting the press (around Zuma satellite failure attribution). But afterwards, there was little sign of recognition, reflection, remediation. No sign that they wouldn't fail just as hard if the same thing was done again a month later. And journalistic devices to pursue quality, seemed not just poorly executed, but inadequate to need.

So my new analogy is with medicine. Like journalism, medicine has long had folk practices for pursuing quality. But medicine has had it's "oh, shit" moment. The realization that medical error was a leading cause of mortality. That even easy and important standards of care were failing to be consistently executed. That there were decades of experience in other fields, on how to engineer process to systemically achieve quality and avoid failure, to which medicine had been oblivious. Journalism seems still oblivious.

So I suggest that journalism as a profession, and even the best of newspapers as institutions, have not yet realized just how badly they are failing. Or recognized the need for, or even the possibility of, systemic process improvement.

Perhaps the existence of the OP project might help with that.
That's because "organic" by the FDA's definition is bullshit. There are all sorts of exceptions. For one thing, it's difficult to find arable land that hasn't been contaminated with persistent pesticides.

Also, some kinds of indirect exposures are allowed. For example, say that you raise "non-organic" chickens. You can feed their waste (after sterilization, of course) to your dairy cattle, and still market the milk as "organic".

If you could find uncontaminated land, you could produce actual contaminant-free food. Well, maybe not "contaminant-free", given all the crap floating around, but much closer.
> BeerAdvocate, of all things, takes on this problem with interesting meta-info like "reviewer's average distance from consensus".

There's a lot to be said for intelligently dealing with ratings and their metadata in ways like this.

For example, the Kappa statistic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-rater_reliability

Presenting crowdsourced ratings as mere averages -- or really any collapse onto a single scalar -- is a big step up from no info at all, but it's hardly the best one can do even with well-known statistical techniques.
Ideally competition in all areas, but different areas might require different policy and this is a question that should actually be studied by experts, or at least in academia summarizing the results of policy in different nations (as well as how closely they might match similar housing density for actually lived in areas).

Some places that I think should be at least initially studied / considered for LAST MILE* competition include:

* LAST MILE (connectivity) being the connection between citizen's houses and peering/point-of-presence locations: connecting citizens to a marketplace of different service providers.

* Remove legal barriers that prevent municipalities and utility entities from providing last mile connectivity
(often laws lobbied (paid) for by existing monopoly or near monopoly companies).
* Things similar to "Local Loop Un-bundling"
> Require the existing providers break out last mile connectivity from their back-haul package.
> Require they sell access to their private PoP at a cost which they also pay
at a similar rate (to the PoP on the balance sheet).
* Things equivalent to 'right of way' grants (poles on public land, trenches, etc) must be owned by the citizens.
> Also leased at FRAND rates to any entities
> Serviceable with 'one touch' by any entity licensed with the owners (citizens via the City/County/State/etc that owns it)

Possibly other things I can't think of in a short break.
There’s a deep flaw in your reasoning, in that it implicitly relies on its own conclusion. To see why, consider an analogy:

Tampering with a radio produces artifacts in the music playing, and can even cause it to change between a number of different signals, but the source of the music signal, the composition of it, is largely remote to the radio.
Ah, thanks, hadn't seen that follow-up paper.
Yes, no problem rendering a € in an xterm.
Some people are mentioning regulation but for streaming a lot of it comes down to market size. The US is a huge singular market which all speaks one language. In europe there are many smaller markets each with its own language and set of countries and regulations. Even at big-ish US companies that serve europe, there might only be a small team that services just FR or just GB, and almost never any smaller countries.

On the plus side, that gap presents sort of a business opportunity but the downside is, it's not a particularly big one.

Not sure if the comparison to Conway's Law works. The key goal of layering is abstraction, so that one can be productive without having to know details about the layers below, but much of optimization is about exploiting details in the layers below for gain. Clearly, these goals are in conflict.

After posing a hypothesis, the post talks about security and process isolation. But the problems raised aren't in line with the hypothesis: the challenge in these cases isn't "insufficient communication" between the levels of the stack, but rather a discrepancy between the abstraction's actual behavior vs. a human's desires and expectations about big-picture topics.

These abstractions often compromised by information leakage through side effects that executing code can observe or deduce, leading to the class of vulnerabilities that have long been around, but have received far more attention since Spectre.

Protecting against timing attacks and other side-channel attacks requires the observable state of the system to not vary due to execution in a different security domain. Timing attacks are particularly frustrating, because processes can estimate their execution time even without external timers, so it can compare the time taken between different calls. Cryptographic operations often take special care to avoid leaking information through timing, but the same discipline isn't commonplace in system calls or userland code. And shared caches will leak info in timing but greatly improve performance.

Hardware isolation is an effective solution for curbing timing attacks for systems that don't communicate over a network. It's not sufficient in the case of networked systems, because the network and its connections form another source of observable state that's likely full of unrelated side-effects.
I'm not sure you understand, when they say "everyone hallucinates all the time" they include you and me. Those hallucinations don't have to be "big" or disruptive.

A hallucination is where your brains perception doesn't match "reality". Maybe you thought the lights flickered for a brief moment but they didn't, or may you thought you saw a shadow move.

The article explains it pretty well, it's very common with things you "expect". Such as your phone vibrating when it isn't, or after watching an insect documentary makes you feel like there's an ant on you (called Formication), or feeling a raindrop when expecting rain (only to realize your skin isn't wet).

EDIT: That is to say - hallucinations aren't usually disruptive enough to cause car accidents, most of the time we just kind of "brush it off" so to speak and forget about it.
> "How do you click a button with an arrow going into a cloud, and then be surprised that you've uploaded the screenshot online?"

God forbid somebody clicks the button called "Save" thinking that it would save the file, rather than deciphering the icon to determine that the button labeled "Save" is actually "Share". Why not rename this (https://0x0.st/zKfv.png) menu entry to "save" too while they're at it? And why is that the only button with text in it? The others have tool tips, but otherwise they're just bare icons. The only one with text is the share button that says "Save".

It's indefensible. It should have never made it past code review, let alone stuck around for several revisions. If the button had said "Share" instead of "Save", there never would have been any complaints about it.
Fun side-effect of this: if you're writing a Python interpreter, you need to implement exceptions+"try...except" before you can fully implement the "for" loop. And to implement this "except", you need classes and basic inheritance.

EDIT: the second code in the article is slightly wrong. The for loop is actually equivalent to:

iter_object = iter(my_list)
while True:
try:
number = next(iter_object)
except StopIteration:
break
sum += number # <-- the body of the original loop is here, outside the "try"
print(sum)

because if the body of the original "for" loop raises a "StopIteration", the loop doesn't catch it.

>The game list could be virtually unlimited, but there's always a real, tough limit - my free time. I can still only play 1-2 games per month and I'd rather own a copy of it.

Didn't say the same thing for music? And yet how many buy CDs or download music anymore, compared to Spotify/Apple Music/YouTube/etc? An irrelevant (and aging) minority.

And at least for music it makes sense. One can and do listen to the same album 10 and 20 years on. And of course multiple times in the same year.

Whereas, after someone has finished a game, how often will they come back? And for what percentage of games? And how would a game subscription would hurt their occasional "lemme play this again for a couple of hours" trip down the memory lane?
From what I understood/imagined, is that they do all the heavy work in the back end and will just deliver the navigation and graphics to us. This is a cool idea if you got an average graphics card and a fast/unlimited internet connection (which most of us have)

I am imagining this as a '€10 entry to a all-free-to-play-arcade. I hope that joysticks with 4-6-8 buttons will come out so I can binge-play Street Fighter again after 20+ years!!
I finally made the switch over from 11 years of macbooks, and I bought a Dell XPS and put Manjaro on it. This was a good decision, in every way _except_ for the touch pad. The touch pad is utter garbage compared to the mac touchpad, and several nights worth of pouring over linux blog posts and trying experimental input processing packages has not changed this.

I really, really hope that this project is successful.
1. No

2. It doesn’t

You may have malware or this is a MITM scenario, perhaps an Internet cafe? Does the site show as secure?
You're not wrong, but you are also lumping "old hams" into the same category as "hams that use computers". While the old dudes can certainly fox-hunt like no bodies business, they are the same dudes that get irate at the idea of hooking a perfectly good ham radio up to a computer, so that rules them out for figuring out something like ssl is being used ;-P.

If you think I'm wrong, just walk around any ham fest and ask for help setting up your Winlink node ;-).
American sentences look incredible from a European perspective. A man has just been extradited from Ireland to America for facilitating child pornography on the internet. He wanted to be tried in Ireland where the maximum he could have gotten would be 14 years, he's now looking at 100 years.
Security, yes. Privacy—I don't believe so*

*—though it depends what you mean by 'better'. I don't think anything existing int the EU is as secure and as private as what Apple just announced. For sure the average EU CC is more secure than an average US one and our data protection laws are better. However our credit cards are still allowed to track us and our purchases. Credit agencies still follow us around and rate us. Getting hold of our histories is relatively simple but removing ourselves from those histories is less so.
Been to a gas station? Cash vs Credit pricing. My local beer store does the same thing.
of course, but what other options are there? i think the point being made is that all banks large enough to provide an “apple-scale” service are pretty damn awful.

who knows? this could be an apple “toe in the water” play to see if it works, and they eventually replace GS/mastercard. you’d have trouble doing an MVP credit card without these big players to start with.
> Also concerned that the (rumored?) $9.99/month price tag is even remotely close enough to get these developers paid. Nothing easier about releasing on a mobile device - the games they showed off look like massive titles

Apple is probably eating the costs to get the subscription mindshare.
I just run borgbackup and backup to a local folder, and rsync to my home nas if I am connected to my home network.

If I need to force a sync over the internet, there is a small shell script that would rsync the backup folder to the home nas.

This allows me to run hourly backups even if there is no network connection (or limited bandwidth), and then just auto sync when I get home, or force a backup when I get a good connection.

What kind of cross-platform features does Electron provide that Okular does not have?
The thing is I don't expect the post office to be expensive and inconvenient. They work wonderfully in many countries for basic banking services to all residents.

What is awful is that I expect it to be inconvenient and awful in the US because there is this idea that anything the government does will inevitably be bad and then there are multiple political parties that try their hardest to make that idea come true when they get elected.

There's no reason for the system to not work in the US other than people trying to sabotage it to the detriment of large parts of the population so their personal tax burden is lower since they don't believe they ever will need the service.
Sounds like you need a recruiting coordinator. They aren't all that expensive (compared to your time, or an engineer's time).

That answer seems to contradict his assertion that "all worlds are private worlds", also it seems to presume that there's some way to break through the delusion (else, how would he even know there's any such thing as natural selection in external reality, or even that there is an external reality), but it's not at all clear that there is -- certainly he's made no argument to this effect in the article itself -- and were there such a way, it would also contradict the same assertion.
