Yep, this would be good feedback up the chain. People above you should be working on breaking the company level goals into team and role specific ones.

Edit: just to note that I have some other criticisms of OKRs, but having them be way too high level, broad, and not actionable should not be the problem.
Are Sam Altman and Peter Thiel behind this or is it fake news?
This crypto currency startup claims it's backed by angel investors including Sam Altman and Peter Thiel. I can't find any other info except on their website and on some fishy crypto news websites. Does anyone here have any idea? Here's the website: https://reserve.org/investors
No early access or anything! I've just been happily using their software for 10+ years.
Nice. This reminds me of the German Tank problem in WWII, where the allies used samples of serial numbers from captured nazi tanks, to estimate their population. The tanks and their parts used sequential serial numbers. It could also be used to determine production rates too I guess.

The idea pre-dates web APIs many decades :-)

If you kept royally screwing something for years that you claimed to be your "highest priority" - then what can one expect from your normal lines of business?

I'm pretty sure there is plenty of 444 content. Movies are likely filmed/edited at 444, they are provided to theaters at 444, but they are generally only made available to consumers at 420.

I believe the reason is that most hardware decoders sold to consumers do not support anything above 420. As Blu-rays and such are all currently 420, the chip makers don't have much incentive to support 444. It's a shame because your TV fully supports 444, and the difference can be huge on some content.
If they were worried about TAAB, then that'd also apply to any Microsoft (or for that matter: Amazon/AWS) hosted products.
If the cookie is spoofed and someone got another clients authorization token, then they would get any documents that user was authorized to see anyway.

But you don’t do cookie.userid.

You send the username and password to an authentication service which generates a token with a checksum. The token along with the username and permission is cached in something like Redis.

On each request, middleware gets the user information back using the token.
The Sony Rx-100 mk V or mk VI will suit your needs perfectly. It’s pricy but generally considered to be the most camera you can pack into a compact. The VI has the only 35-200mm equivalent zoom on a compact which makes it perfect for sporting events and concerts that don’t allow ‘professional’ dSLR cameras.

We just have joined everything. If we split, it would be 50/50 but I'd probably end up giving her most of the stuff, I already find that we have way too much stuff as it is. I like the simplicity of it all even though it might not be advantageous financially for me.

Personally, I find that "fun money" is the easy part. We both splurge from time to time but it is reasonable for the most part. The hard part is the big shared expenses which you'll never be able to cover with "fun money" or it sucks to do alone (house renovations, cars, trips, entertainment etc.) for which 1 partner doesn't see the value of the shared expense.

I was a child prodigy, now living a life that is a fairly natural extension of that experience. I started programming at 6, took college classes (mostly math and physics) from 9 to 13. I had a semi-successful software business with my dad from 14 to 22, then decided to go to grad school, which was a fantastic decision, as it both helped me sharpen my intellectual skills and develop better social skills.

These days I do independent CS research and open source development, and still enjoy learning. One of my latest projects involves programming GPU compute, and I find it very exciting to grapple with a new computing model.

I don't talk about my early experience that much, but in this thread, feel free to AMA.
> Even if you ignore everything wrong there and just say "they eventually got some of their money back" like you did, it still matters that they printed (ie effectively stole in real terms) 4 trillion dollars that they didn't own.

Printing money might be bad policy, but how is it stealing? The U.S. has the sovereign (and Constitutional) right to create money. (Also, the Fed's job is literally to create money to meet economic targets. SOMA was unprecedented not because the government "printed money" but because it bought an asset class it previously did not buy--securities.)

> If the Fed is going to print trillions, at least buy healthcare or space exploration with it. Stop this circle jerk nonsense with Wall St.

This is again ignoring the fundamental difference between printing money for consumption, and printing money to buy assets. If the fed prints money to buy healthcare or space exploration, it doesn't get that money back. If it prints money to buy assets, it gets almost all of that money back.

This is not an esoteric or meaningless distinction. The federal government originated $1.4 trillion in student loans since 2009. Would you call that a $1.4-trillion "free college" program? Of course not. People have to pay the money back, and the government will get most of their money back. The actual cost will be about $180 billion. By contrast, the government had spent that $1.4 trillion on healthcare or space exploration, it would have actually cost $1.4 trillion.

You can argue about the merits of bailing out Wall Street. But what you can't argue about is what it actually cost the government about $100 billion, not $4 trillion.
> On GitHub, a fork refers to a copy of a repository used by a contributor to stage changes they’d like to propose upstream

I'm not sure this is accurate and is the crux the argument. IMO a fork on GH refers to a "fresh" (in terms of the tooling around the repo, eg issues/PRs) copy of the repo on another account, which may be used as a branch to push to upstream but may also be the "traditional" fork, the difference is entirely in how the copy is used. If you've got a public "personal branch" with its own associated tooling it doesn't seem like a stretch to call that a fork, whether temporary and intended to be sent back upstream or not, and to me it's a difference without a distinction about why "personal branch" is a better term than "fork." Forking a repo (spinning off a dev section, including CI/CD/issue tracking/management -- a branch implies sharing that infrastructure IMO) isn't the same thing as forking a project (spinning off a competing project).

To the cathedral and bazaar points, I don't see how GH affects the development style at all. The only thing that really makes the mailing-list driven Linux dev more decentralized is that it's done via email... yet someone still chooses what goes into releases, maintains & hosts that mailing list/website mirror and could limit access, or the "core" team could simply email each other and lock out any public view. GH can be configured to be just as open (if needing their "fork" model to keep anyone from being able to push over the original hosted copy) or just as closed, depending on how the project is run. The cathedral and bazaar is about project philosophy and management, not the underlying tech, to my reading.

Given the disclaimer that the author is building a GH competitor my cynical thought is this is really marketing aimed at the programmer niche; I would have enjoyed it more as a contrast against centralization and the benefits of his (as I understand it) more free/open/decentralized competitor.

All that said, I think sr.ht/sourcehut is a cool project and can easily see myself switching to it. How have the ads in 2600 been working?

So far, every "3D" game is actually 4D. This game could be a 5th dimensional game, but then the main character needs to see all other 4th dimensional realties (like in Rick and Morty). I had the same problem with Rick and Morty's "A Rickle in Time". However, they got the monster (who is actually a 5th dimensional being not a 4th dimensional) right by being able to see all the uncertain possibilities. This game would need that type of awareness to be considered 5D. Otherwise, it's a normal 4D game.

Having recently transitioned from small companies and start ups to a big successful corporation, this all seems right to me. A lot of things are way easier because they were just figured out already. A lot of stuff (both technical and non-technical) has already been in the pipeline for a few years and will be ready pretty soon. A related thing is that because of that pipeline thing, it's a lot easier to start thinking about things that may well take two or three years to come to fruition. These are all enormous advantages.

On the other hand, there are entire markets, even quite large ones, that you can't pursue because they're way too small. That's what I'd look for if I were thinking about starting a new business.

I just started at a large international firm. ~1 week in I found that a collection of beefy AWS machines had been sitting around doing nothing for a least 5 years (potentially 7 years). The base cost? ~100k USD (we are based in Canada, so ~130k for us). Also, three of the machine (you have to have dev, staging and prod!) where running a (presumably) expensive third party financial software library. No one knew who to talk to about the cost of that lib. When I told my boss, the CTO, they just shrugged and implied that it was peanuts in the grande scheme of things. As far as I can tell the C-Level people just break up their days going to meetings talking and kick all the technical debt down the road. I find such waste upsetting, but, try to focus it as fuel to get my own company going (if successful it too will be disgustingly inefficient in 10 years!). sigh 1/3 of the best years of my brief spark of life on utter nonsense. probably best not to think about that.

It's not clear to me if the author actually understands how staging works and how that affects the commands they suggest. They claim that stashing takes staged changes and then note that after stashing the working tree will be clean. That suggests the post is being dumbed down or the author is misunderstanding things.

Git guidance should almost always start with a brief introduction to the concepts you believe the audience doesn't know or fully understand. To begin with reset and not properly explain the index will just end up being confusing, especially with brief references to hard, soft and mixed resets later on!

In many companies, engineering puts out fires, prevents disasters, gets rid of tech debt, etc. In short, engineering does a lot of maintenance that is needed to keep the entire company afloat. If that work stops, the company will go bust.

It's such an obvious key objective, it should be in every top-level OKR, yet it almost never is, which means that there's nowhere the engineering department can slot in that work. And how do you measure it?
> Git is a corded drill in a battery-powered drill world

Git isn't a corded drill in this analogy, it's an electric motor: the potential foundation of many different tools for different problems. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that it would make more sense to use it as the basis of a more complete, ergonomic tool, rather than just sticking a drill bit into the spinning part.

/usr/bin/git is like curl: a command line tool for precise manipulation of an underlying data model/protocol. It's complex, but it works great - if you want to interact with the underlying data model/protocol on its terms. Many people want something that automates a more complex workflow to help them accomplish a higher-level task. For HTTP, we have browsers; for git, we don't have much yet.

Or, market fundamentals have hit or crossed a marginal point where the probability of a contracting market is beginning to diminish capital valuations. They’re keeping stock price trends positive at the expense of cash on hand.

I’m not sure of this argument, but I sense meaning going on at the margin.

My Econ professors had a saying. Something like “you know a correction will start when the last stalwart holdout is convinced he can make money in this market [meaning no one else is left willing to jump in].” Paraphrasing a decade old quote.

> The right should acknowledge that jobs have boomed without the bonfire of regulations that typically forms its labour-market policy

At least in the U.S. Trump has aggressively deregulated the economy. Naturally, deregulation is great for business since regulations prevent companies from offloading negative externalities into the environment and onto their customers and employees, rather than paying the costs to minimize them. What happens when new leadership comes along and decides to pass laws that reduce the amount of mining waste that can be legally dumped into the waterways?

In a typical introductory course, there are two subtly different contexts in which the asymptotic complexity comes up:

* Case 1: Analysis of algorithms: This is where you write down some algorithm/program, and analyze how long it takes. Here, you're limited by the kind of algorithms you can write down easily; you're not likely to encounter “polynomial” in general but about specific typical functions like n, n log n, n^2, n^3, 2^n, k^n, etc. Functions like n^13 or n^(log n) are equally exotic and unlikely to be encountered this way (as there are no natural/simple algorithms with that complexity); perhaps the most “exotic” it gets are the n^(log 3) and n^(log 7) of Karatsuba's and Strassen's algorithms respectively (both happen to be polynomial).

* Case 2: Computational complexity theory: Here you care about which complexity class a problem / language lies in, like P, NP, PSPACE, whatever. As we've already established that polynomials are the smallest closed class, and anything superpolynomial is definitely not “fast”, here the only interesting distinction of note is between polynomial and superpolynomial, as between “fast” and “not fast”. From your telling it would seem that exponential complexity is somehow treated as especially interesting, but in my experience this is not the case. If at all exponential time comes up it's mainly because that turns out to be the result of analysis of some natural algorithm (as in Case 1 above) and “exponential” is interesting only insofar as it implies “not polynomial”.

My impression/guess is that you're combining (1) the fact that superpolynomial-subexponential algorithms don't turn up naturally (just as, say, n^53 doesn't either), (2) the fact that we do talk about polynomial complexity, and (3) the fact that exponential algorithms do turn up naturally, to claim that we care about polynomial and subexponential complexity but nothing in between, which doesn't seem to be the case.

How much of git is actually that hard though? There are definitely some extremely dark corners in git, but most people really only need 4 commands (add, commit, push, pull) to get started. Once you start needing to do more you start to incrementally adopt features. I’m not trying to trivialize git because it’s obviously complicated. I’m not sure I accept that someone can’t be productive with git in a reasonably short amount of time.
I decry this a lot. Ad blocker use is rampant. People don't want to pay for subscriptions. Etc.

Yeah, same. I thought they would be using satellite imagery. Archaeologists have found Mayan ruins that way because the ruins have a ton of lime plaster and the trees growing above them absorb it the same way. The leaves of the trees above the ruins reflect specific frequencies differently than the other surrounding trees and you can see blotches where the ruins are in the images (when shifted into the visible spectrum). I always wondered if you could find other things that way.
That Fifth Circuit case was never decided on its merits - it just upheld a preliminary injunction from the district court.

I'm trying to not be condescending, but I have a strong feeling that will change when the market eventually crashes.

I say this because I honestly don't see how anyone who is serious about financial planning can use Robinhood for anything besides "play market". Case in point: the graphs in Robinhood show no y-axis values. This is insane if you actually care to see how your portfolio has been doing. Yet this is obviously intentional by Robinhood, so it must be designed to obfuscate what is really going on.

When things really start to go south (which they inevitably always do) there is going to be a run on the bank at Robinhood.
