I just have the SourceGraph extension installed. It's also usable without too. It's a bit more powerful and lets me search forked repositories too on an instance of Sourcegraph on their infrastructure.

I still lament not being able to globally (like all of GitHub, not just one repo's forks) search GitHub's forks. It's amazingly useful for finding out approaches to using an API. Sorta like Google Code Search in the old days.
Do you think teacher pay is acceptable?

Do you think it's actually okay for the person teaching your kids algebra to be making barely more money than the cashier ringing up your groceries at the store, while having to pay for supplies for their class out of their own pocket?
> No limit.

I've seen a lot of talk about hard limits online recently, I don't like it. A very high tax rate for the extremely rich I am much more OK with.

75 to 95 percent of income above 10 million seems fine. I wouldn't even tax stock holding. Let people sell 10 million in stock each year and avoid the high tax, nobody will struggle on 10 million a year. And if their money is still growing like crazy in the stock market, fine, tax it when it comes out.
I found the article uninformative - nowhere in it could I find a picture of this "geometry". The incomprehensible diagrams were nice, but only because I collect that sort of thing.
Even if the companies never expand and the stocks are priced perfectly the market is not zero-sum. It's still an asset that produces value and pays back every year. There are people for whom it makes sense to own something that gives steady returns and there are people who for whom it makes sense to have cash on hand.
Trading might be zero-sum which is great for everyone but owning stocks isn't.
There's an article like this every week or so.. I don't get it. Git isn't that hard.. You can pretty much get by 99% of use cases with like four or five commands.
TL;DR: It's pretty much like a bomb, yes.

How much energy it is depends on the volume change as you compress. If your material is completely incompressible, there is no volume change, no work done as the pressure rises, and therefore no energy stored.

In practice, for a material of bulk modulus K by definition you have

-K dV/V = dP.

as the basic differential equation relating pressure and volume (if we assume that the bulk modulus is constant through our pressure range, which is quite an assumption in this case). Solving that, we get:

V = V_0/exp(P/K)

where V_0 is the original volume and V is the volume after the pressure has been applied. Bulk modulus is commonly measured in GPa, so we're going to do that here. 1atm is about 1e5 Pa or 1e-4 GPa.

The work done while compressing is the integral of -PdV, which per that first differential equation we can rewrite as the integral of P * V/K * dP (we want to integrate dP because we know what the limits are: it's going from 1atm, or 1e-4 GPa, to 1e6 atm = 1e2 GPa).

Plugging in our expression for V we get the integral, from 1e-4 to 100, of P/K * V_0/exp(P/K) dP. The integral there is:

K * V_0 * (-P/K - 1) * exp(-P/K)

For simplicity, I'm going to approximate that 1e-4 by 0, so we get:

K * V_0 * ((-100/K - 1) * exp(-100/K) + 1)

when we evaluate at the two endpoints.

OK, so let's try an actual material and actual volume. Steel has a bulk modulus of 160 GPa according to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_modulus#Selected_values>. So for steel we have:

160 * V_0 * ((-100/160 - 1) * exp(-100/160) + 1) =
160 * V_0 * 0.13 =
21 * V_0

or so. If we assume we started with a 1 cm^3 volume of steel, that's an energy of:

21e9 N/m^2 * 1e-6 m^3 = 2.1e4 J

or about equivalent to 5 grams of TNT per <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent>. For comparison, 1 cm^3 of steel is about 7-8 grams of material, so we're right in the "about as much energy as the same weight of TNT" ballpark. Obviously if you start with a larger volume you end up with more stored energy: if we started with 1m^3 we end up equivalent to about 5 tons of TNT.

If your material is more compressible, the numbers are higher, as long as it's not too compressible (in which case it just collapses into a tiny volume quickly and not much more work gets done after that). If we take K = 50 (a typical number for glass from that table), you get:

50 * V_0 * ((-100/50 - 1)*exp(-100/50) + 1) =
50 * V_0 * 0.6 =
30 * V_0

If your material is less compressible, you store less energy; for diamond with K = 443, you get something like 9.7*V_0.

Again, all this assumes pressure-invariant bulk modulus, which seems moderately unlikely when you are dealing with pressures that are on the order of the size of the bulk modulus or even larger, as here.

Man I wish I had read this seven years ago! We tried doing OKRs on my team and it never seemed to work. We ended up just throwing it all away at the end of the quarter and listing what we actually accomplished.

And I think it was because we were doing what the author says and shoehorning in our backlog into the OKRs!

I was really soured on OKRs because of it. Now I want to try again doing it “the right way”.
Thanks for another example of how OKRs aren't working for devs. A part of the inspiration to write this was that I noticed most developers feel that something is wrong with the OKR process, but they can't put their finger on exactly what.
I agree. But of course the offending people can’t just come out and say that they’re against accountability on principle - they have to trot out the “too expensive” argument. That’s why the statistic on settlements is useful.
If the items in the backlog aren't related to the OKRs, then it's possible that they should be thrown our with the new cycle like the author says, but I wonder if it could mean that the OKRs need to be changed in certain situations as well. If there are things the teams value in the backlog that aren't part of any OKRs, and the dev teams are in some sense closer to the product than upper management, then that input should be filtered back up to be considered by upper management since the teams "on the ground" might be seeing information that the management doesn't have.

> The key lesson here, I think, is not “corporations are stupid,” but that “corporations are too complex for linear requirements-gathering to in many cases support.”

This comment should be featured higher in a discussion. The "stupid" label is thrown rather fast although more often than not the problem lies in how critics fail to understand the problem and, more importantly, the restrictions applied to the decision-making process. Therefore critics base their view on their personal and very over-simplified and under-informed view of the problem, don't understand how an outcome is a valid and reasonable solution, and instead of assuming that they have limited information and understanding... They instead assume they have perfect information and complete insight into a problem and therefore any outcome they didn't approve or understand can only mean stupidity.
MISRA C? Cool!

About the design model for programming in Rust, I guess only making the time to try writing something in Rust can answer the question. It is interesting how the steepness of the Rust learning curve could actually be a hook to get people to try it, which is all any well-designed language would need to gain adherents.

Back to critical systems programming, does MISRA C have a "certified" compiler like CompCert C or something? If so, Rust usage in such a niche must be a long way away - even if one could "certify" the Rust compiler code, how would one "certify" the million+ lines of C++ in LLVM!
What about MORE equality of outcome. How is the attempt itself equal to "mass death"?

> Consider a company with value of $1000, with 100 shares outstanding. Each share is $10. Buying back 10 shares, the company spent $100

How would you buy 10% of the outstanding stock of a real company and pay exactly the market price for the entire block? On a public exchange, you'd need to bid higher than the market price for someone to sell you a block that big (otherwise it wouldn't be worth their while to sell).

If you're buying in the public market, other sellers will see that some party is willing to pay above the market price for this stock. They'll raise their own ask price as a result. In private, off-exchange sales, you'll be dealing with seasoned investors (family offices, hedge funds etc) where they're likely to know your situation, and you'll almost definitely pay a premium to acquire that stock.
When I split my time so that 9-5pm is work hours and outside that time is family time, whether doing chores, fixing up the house, running errands, or relaxing with the wife and kids, none of these seem to need the internet. But it sounds like that's not the situation you were in 10 years ago.

We live in a large suburb, and because of lack of constant electronic distractions, we're meeting our neighbors for the first time (albeit slowly, since nobody around here ever steps outside).

The kids have a great time at school, but they keep observing that all the other kids are surprisingly behind at pretty much every skill, and express surprise that they enjoy phone games where all you do is tap the screen to make a number go higher.

My wife stays at home raising our young children, and only really uses internet to communicate with the older kids' schools, which she can do with her iPhone anywhere that has wifi, including Walmart.

I'm the breadwinner of our family, doing software consulting work that often needs internet but often can be done offline. As long as I use the library's wifi for that aspect, I'm able to do my job just fine.

Honestly, if software wasn't my skill, I would be using the internet a lot less often, probably as much as I would check out a library book, and for the same reasons too. But software is what God made me good at, so it's how I need to support my family.

That said, I've installed a ton of things on our offline home computer that my kids find useful, such as PICO-8 and IntelliJ IDEA Community (so we can learn Java).

Not applicable because you aren't required and should not tell your employer.

Some things to know when moonlighting:

* Don't work for your employer's competitors or vendors.

* Don't moonlight if you're here on a visa.

* In CA your employer can't forbid you from moonlighting, but you can always be fired for any reason (for ex: poor performance) so just make sure moonlighting doesn't get in the way of your salary employment.

* Don't tell your employer, they have no right or reason to know. Do you ask permission or notify your employer before taking a weekend trip to Tahoe? No of course not, so don't ask/notify them when you do anything else on your own time.

I verified all this before starting a side-project back in 2013 after work and on weekends (wakatime.com/about)

I've never heard of anyone dying from lack of fiber. Have you? Is there a medical condition for this?

I'm sure that some hunter gatherers ate plants containing fiber. We are omnivores and able to get calories from many different sources depending on availability in our environment. That still doesn't mean that fiber is a necessity or requirement.
"Sirangelo was escorted out of NASA’s headquarters in Washington on Wednesday after his resignation" does not sound like a resignation to me.

The argument here is that the value of a company is actually in the imaginations of the Important People who make Big Deals with it. This value may be related to the stuff done by workers but the CEO's personal relationship with other CEOs carries as much weight as "observed reality".

5% loss isn't that bad, but that's because they're being limited in a lot of ways to keep the efficiency high. Dropping current and increasing voltage, for instance. If you had a 100% efficient conductor, you could do things like transmit monstrously high levels of current without having to worry about stuff like that.
That's one view through the leftist lens, but at least you ended your comment with an appropriate question.

DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS, DEVELOPERS!!!
An engineer's pay is bounded by, but not determined by, the value of what they produce. That is why even when an engineer produces a million dollar breakthrough, they don't get a million dollar bonus.

Instead, their pay is determined based on their replacement value -- how much the company would have to pay to get another engineer of comparable skill, if the first one should leave. If it is hard to find a comparable replacement, then their pay is also determined by the absolute value increase they bring relative to a less-skilled replacement. This isn't strictly true at all times but it's the guiding principle.

A CEO can likewise make decisions with billion dollar impact. But their pay should not be determined by the value of their decision-making, but rather by the price at which others would step up to take on that role, and by how much more valuable the current CEO's decisions than those that a replacement would make.

I don't personally understand why there isn't a huge pool of skilled would-be CEOs willing to run companies for a fraction of the pay of current CEOs. Probably because CEO experience is so hard to come by. The rewards are so high though that you'd think there would be more CEO boot camps. But I guess the risk of a bad CEO (whose bad decisions could sink the whole company) are considered high enough that a real track record is considered nearly priceless, and it also has huge barriers to entry.
The recent reform puts some limits on deductibility of interest expenses, but I don’t know what is the practical impact of that cap (30% of adjusted taxable income = earnings before interest, depreciation, amortization, and taxes).
No, but they may optimize out assigning to the reference at all, since assigning to it requires dereferencing a provably null pointer, which means that any future code is effectively meaningless.
Would love to hear if you're able to make it work by adjusting the details of how it's carried out.
This seems like there isn't buy-in to the OKRs across your employer. My company does OKRs and it's taken seriously by VPs as well as the devs. Here, it's very reasonable to say no to something (and have that be respected) because it's not contributing to your team's OKRs. If it's a VP or something and insists it needs to be done then that means the OKRs need to be updated to reflect the nature of this work.

Where does that $50 billion figure come from? I found a NASA report from last year that says $11.9 billion. That’s an average of somewhat less than $2 billion/year so far. In contrast, the Saturn V took about five years from start to first flight, and development cost something like $6-9 billion/year.

I wouldn’t be surprised if SLS ended up costing more in the end, precisely because spending is lower. A project with less funding that drags on forever costs more than one with better funding that’s finishes quickly.
>Spread love wherever you go, to everybody, anytime.

Because it was already taxed at the same rate as income when it was earned as profit by the company. Taxing it again when its realized means it was taxed once when the corporation earned it, and then again when the individual stock holder realized it. Now you may think that's how it should, but that issue of double taxation is why capital gains tax is less than income tax.

An alternative is to 'flip' the tax. Tax companies at the rate of capital gains, and investors at their tax bracket 'normal' rate. This also leaves more capital for companies to reinvest.
Softbank is not making 'goofy' investments along the lines of Google's 'loon' projects, like putting Wifi in air balloons.

They are making 'real' investments in late stage companies with actual business models, or things that have obvious potential upsides.

Softbank is basically where companies go for D and E rounds instead of going public. So there is some risk, but way less risk than left-field, early stage investments.

Their 'real estate' investment is in WeWork, which probably will make them a lot of money as long as interest rates don't flinch higher, and as long as there is no real-estate crash.

Sprint, ARM, Yahoo, Uber, Slack - these are not 'crazy' investments, especially depending on price. Yahoo might actually have some 'decent fundamentals' on some level, and be worth something at some price. They have a gigantic audience, and some small changes might make them be profitable at some level, and they could very well be worth something, at some price.

It's a cross between classic private equity and late stage venture capital, all of their investments make sense in that context.

Right, so charge for Messenger on other platforms. Nobody asked them to give it away.
They wouldn't, but they could very well come to a different sane result on a particular architecture than they implementation/architecture you're on.
