> Over 2 years he did less work

That's a failure of upper management to demand accountability from him. A lot of people hide a lot of stuff even when they are at the office.

> What interview questions can you ask to very "dedicated remote workers" from "easy paycheck remote workers"?

The same you ask to discern between "dedicated office worker" and "minesweeper-champion office worker"?

> How to you improve performance in remote workers

Promote accountability based on deliverables and targets. Establish always-on communication channels and systems, keeping remotes involved in the decision-making rather than being recipients of orders. Have periodic reviews, particularly if things are slower than expected. And at the end of the day, don't be scared to let people go if they are not meeting expectations, or to put your foot down on things like webcam usage if you really need it.
Sounds like the sort of thing you’d code in a job interview test. It is very cute.
> We are right about climate change. Full stop. People who consider that not to be the case are lacking in information, because there are literally dozens of independent lines of evidence that back the conclusion and that have been used to model the current state of the climate.

I think the largest divide is man-made climate change vs not. I agree the climate is changing. I'm not yet convinced we're causing it or we can do anything about it.
> We found that no one actually wants to use these tools— they just have to, and that the only people who were satisfied with the state of things were folks who had assistants they could offload the work onto.

I suspect this is the case with a lot of business / enterprise software.

Congrats on the launch. I think this space (software assisted services that rely on Slack / SMS / email) is a promising one. Best of luck!
I feel that C- killing ticks with ecologically destructive methods is ridiculously ignorant.
From keeping up to date on the news, I always feel as if we're on the brink of the end of the world, massive recessions, and war so I've almost normalized the current state. However, the current political tone feels similar to the preamble to the invasion of Afghanistan after 9/11.

How does one cut through all the noise or can you even?

As much as I love my Model 3, it has quite a few quirks that a car from a traditional automaker wouldn't have: (nonstandard charging connector, snow falls off the rear windshield into the trunk, no power shades over the sunroof, no place to store sunglasses, ect.)

And, as much as I want Tesla to succeed, they really need to figure out how to get some know-how from standard automakers. I never had a pile of snow fall into the back of my Leaf when I opened its trunk! It also had a sunglasses holder, and I didn't need to use a dongle to plug it into a standard charger.
And that's graalvm-ce not the enterprise edition.
Move to "a place principally because of job opportunities".

I'm saying that 1-income households can do that. They can go anywhere affordable even if there is only 1 employer with 1 opening. The 2-income households, with notably different culture, can't move unless they find a pair of jobs. Finding a pair of jobs is far easier in a large city. There are plenty of jobs outside the large cities, possibly even most jobs depending on your definition of "large city", but they are too far spread out to select the location first. You select a job, and that may take you somewhere rural. If you first select a specific rural location, you are unlikely to find a job.

So for one culture, with the single-income family, it is no big deal to move for a job. If that fails, you move again. For the other culture, with two incomes, you have to move to a place that has a high probability of having jobs for both people whenever that is needed. Moving is less of an option.
Hm. I am impressed by the casual kernel debugging. I couldn't do that. However, why would I have to do that if running check_disk on all important file systems tells me if file systems are >80% or >90% full?

There'll be bugs I cannot debug, because I cannot casually debug my linux kernel. Yes. I still have to encounter them personally, but I'll get there. But this just seems weird, because this is a very, very basic problem to monitor for.
nope. cloudflare had a bad push / deployment.
Do you use affiliate programs to get a cut of any bookings you make on your customers behalf?
FWIW many objects in Python (including files) also close themselves when they are deleted (either explicitly or implicitly when their reference count drops to 0). Usage of "with" for files is more of a "just in case" idiom than a necessity.
Kind of related to this, but these types of outages are why I moved from Google Play to Spotify for streaming music. Their infrastructure seems so large that things that should be a standalone service, like streaming music, are bound to be collateral damage when they mess something up on another service. Having everything provided by one company is convenient until it all goes down at the same time and you can't access your email, videos, or music because they all run on the same infrastructure.
> Bandcamp has a huge selection.

Sure, they win by quantity. But it doesn't matter if they have millions of artists if what I want is a particular Radiohead album.

For now, CD is still the best way to buy mainstream music in a high quality format. It also happens to be pretty inexpensive as well. On top of all that, I'm an old guy that happens to enjoy looking over my collection, picking a CD, and sitting down to listen to it for an hour, giving it the same attention I would if I were watching a movie or reading a book.

I also subscribe to a streaming service and that's how I find a lot of the stuff I want to buy.

This isn't exactly a new issue in runtime code generation, for example, the HotSpot Java JIT was introduced over 20 years ago.
All good questions, but it also lends some credence to the cryopreservative folks who are freezing people's heads for later reanimation. What those guys need is a recipe that they can use to insure the preserved brain can be re-animated later. For them a good perfusion process and a perfusion fluid that maximally preserves brain tissue over time would be a solid advancement in their cause.
If people as a whole aren't smart enough on average to prevent it getting this bad, then maybe our species doesn't deserve to continue. I hate to sound negative.

It seems that better education might be a start. But it takes at least a generation to have an effect. Just as we didn't get to the point we are at overnight.

In places where the bully leaders aren't voted in, then something is very wrong with the system that lets them get into power without any kind of checks. But if everyone were on average better educated, there might be some kind of checks that could be created.
>I wrote the post in hopes that people might see this experience and use these observations to improve their own mentor/mentee relationships.

Aye and thanks for the contribution to that effect/effort.

Maybe one day we'll get to a point where this is normative in the industry (and it's my earnest, strident hope that we do).
Presumably all the detail is shown at once? I'm picturing something more like Google Maps navigation where you zoom into the source diagram and the code appears.

Perhaps I'm imagining an alternative way to manage source trees, or modules, rather than the code in individual source files. A hierarchy like a traditional file system but with extra kinds of relationships. Perhaps it'd have to be curated like reference documentation, perhaps it could be automatically generated from source directives. I dunno, just idle thoughts...
Sounds like a potential add-on to me.

What issue? This is marketing wonks and creepy SV companies abusing image loading in email to implement "read receipts". The fact that some clients load images differently is their problem, not Apple's.
One is calling for tolerance while the other is cheap snark. Also, one is about the situation at hand while the other is a comment about a comment. Also, one was written as an ordinary sentence while the other signals low effort as a snark booster. Perhaps most importantly, the accounts have very different histories. When we do moderation replies we're usually reacting to the account's overall pattern as much as to the specific post.

Im very interested in trying this! Looks like the download page only supplies a linux binary at the moment: any plans to offer a Mac OS version too?

For what it's worth, I was able to build a Mac OS version locally.
Agree completely. Anything marginally unsettling uttered out of critical thought (or well-sourced material) is met with complete incredulousness. Anything to suggest sinister motives is laughed off. We are entering an age of mass hypnosis where people actually want to be asleep. Their world fits onto a 4 inch screen they carry everywhere, using a single finger to navigate it. They want to plug into the grid and never look away.
Comparing Trump's power to Kim's is a farce. This article opens with a laughable comparison and the rest of the article isn't much better.
I think the point was that Python has no general tools to resource management, even if it provided ad-hoc access to the filesystem and threads.
2005 Honda Civic: Water drains from the trunk lid into the trunk when you open it in the rain. If you open the trunk when there's snow on the rear window, it gets jammed up between the trunk lid and the window.

The traditional automakers aren't immune from this sort of thing.
Tips are cool, but a browser-based micro-payments setup will create a more consistent alternative revenue stream.
That doesn't hold up, at least with my example. The glovebox latch on most vehicles is a couple of bits of stamped metal and a spring. By making it electrically actuated, Telsa necessitated adding a branch to the wiring harness, along with extra crimps and connectors to keep track of, and an actuator. This is all in addition to the latch mechanicals that would have been present already.
> But just like paper books there are a lot of books that I read once and never look at again. They aren't priceless treasured objects for me.

Traditionally your books could have been donated, or given to friends and relatives. DRM prevents those things. It really sounds like you might be better off using a library to borrow ebooks than to buy them. You're already basically just paying for a rental.
Came here to say this. Almost finished myself and have loved the read so far.

I have also enjoyed this unintentional easter egg - the musical artist mentioned early in the novel doesn't exist IRL, but a keen early reader has created a Spotify playlist by that name, and it's been growing steadily the past few weeks as people search to see if she is real and happen upon this. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/41rZjyFBpUFpKZdGZHbbXl?si=...
> Huawei is likely one of the companies that contributed to this very Xinjiang endeavour

The article you cite just says that they supplied networking equipment, how is that different than, for example, U.S. conecetration camps using Dell laptops? Would you also blame Dell?

It's not that hard. In India because of so much construction related digging cuts OFCs, we do the path planning quite well and our redundancies get tested quite regularly whether you want to or not.
Those can be handled in other ways. For instance, seal openings to the outdoors, keep the house clean so ants aren't getting food, lay out ant poison that they take back to their nests so it's more targeted, spray diluted citrus oils in the places spiders like to hang out since they don't like the smell, etc.

Well the responders point was that Tesla isn't a massive corporation. Different scenario.
Well, that can be considered as a solution. 100% better than just bitching and falling into the rat race, and instead of saving for that purpose you end up buying more useless stuff and spending more.
Even parallax based systems are good at avoiding stationary objects, and are inexpensive since they use two overlapping visible light cameras (see EyeSight for one example). Essentially they work like the human eye to determine depth/distance.

Tesla put two visible light cameras in their cars, but didn't configure them to parallax and instead rely on radar that has noise problems and ultrasound which only works at close range. It was a mistake that has had consequences.

It took amazon over over 6 years to do so though.

EC2 was released in 2006.
Amazon.com last non ec2 server was 2012.
But a lot of features of amazon.com still don't run on the main AWS offerings.

GCP has not been out for that long. Also, quite easier to run an e-commerce site than to run the web's largest search engine as well as the largest email provider, as well as the largest maps provider. Each of these has an order of magnitude more traffic than amazon.com

I'm sure they'll get there though, just not the same scale. Not even close.
The simplest is the one that doesn't exist ;)

That is: you're presupposing that a JavaScript framework is actually necessary in the first place. I'd argue that the whole concept of a JS framework is the epitome of chasing after shiny and complicated things. If instead you start with just plain ol' HTML and incrementally add CSS and JS as actually needed, you're much more likely to end up with a much simpler and more maintainable end result (or, at the very least, you will have figured out the actual and specific reasons why you might need the additional complexity of, say, Sass or this week's JS framework).
There are actually several outfits explicitly dedicated to trading equities (and even mortgages) on blockchain. One of the most advanced is Polymath.io.

The implementation is true blockchain it just isn’t completely decentralized blockchain like bitcoin. Instead, trust authorities would establish client accounts after due diligence and KYC and AML requirements had been met. Then those accounts would leverage blockchain to facilitate transactions on a transparent and indelible ledger.
Many of the environment-specific functionality provided by this tool can be more declaratively achieved by kustomize (https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-kubernetes-objects/k...) as well as direnv (https://direnv.net) by automatically running commands to change environment etc when changing directories.

Can you see how that is not so different? In the US we are as oblivious to the exact nature and motives of security threats too, and tolerate our border and surveillance agencies to preempt an unspecified threat. The mere existence of scrutiny doesnt make the systems that different.
I mean, this is a problem that existing JITs have to face all the time.
Programming "languages" and spoken languages barely can be compared apart from the fact they both have specific syntax. Don't conflate the two just because they both have the word "language" in them. They're even less similar than Java and JavaScript.

Language is not only a means of communication, but the living trace of a whole branch of culture and its collective memory of knowledge and history.

But the survival of the fittest process of evolution can't occur because that requires reproduction.
That's not a very nice thing to say. I am in the position where I could take your advice but for many folks there is no plausible solution. Sure, anyone could fuck off to the woods, open a fruit stand, and tell their spouse and children to suck it up and college is overrated anyway. But what if your spouse doesn't want to live behind a fruit stand in the woods? What if you have to support a family and the pay ceiling for your profession doesn't allow you to save enough money to retire early? What if you're already closing in on 50? It's easy to tell people they just need a plan, but everybody has their own unique problems and it's a bit rude to imply that it's their own fault because they didn't work hard enough. GP could have made a plan to retire at 35 and sail around the world, pinched their pennies, and saved up a million bucks, then their child got cancer or something else equally horrible. Or maybe you're right and they spent all of their discretionary income on magic the gathering cards. Point is, we don't know and it's not nice to tell random strangers on the internet to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

There are only 3 things I can say about this situation.
1) These issues are currently unrelated.
2) We learn a lot from these situations.
3) A lot of these types of issues can be mitigated by running in more then 1 region.

I really cant promise that today's situations will never happen again. There are a lot of moving pieces in our system and sometimes there are things outside of Google's control.
To avoid the oracle problem you are forced to pre-fund you side of the contract with 'real' digital currency. But the financial system moves forward borrowing from the future and creating private money, neither of which is posible if you are forced to show upfront that you have the money to serve your financial obligations. Capitalism is not based on math, it is based on human trust, take that variable out and we are back into a pre-capitalist system, a medieval era.

Actually that’s the easy part. Avoiding censorship and avoiding being made into a political puppet by the current payment-provider duopoly seems to be what’s difficult.

Given the amount of brain damage that will happen even with good methods, you'd probably be better off using the perfusion to instead perfuse cryoprotectives and vitrify your brain to stop all additional degradation indefinitely (or instead of cryonics, use plastination to fixate the brain), and wait for a permanent solution.
