"The Elves Leave Middle Earth – Sodas Are No Longer Free"† was posted almost ten years ago. I've now seen that in action now more than once (including a case of literally starting to charge for the sodas). A company brings in a new executive (often referred to as an "adult"). Sometimes it's to prepare for sale/IPO, other times to help with a painful pivot. The pressure often comes from outside (the board or large investors, potential acquirers, etc.) It may involve suddenly hiring a large number of new people not already familiar with the culture as well.

During this process, the company "corporatizes" - transforms from a "startup" to a "corporation". In keeping with the metaphor of the person leading the change being an "adult", the goal is for the company to "grow up".

Has anyone seen the counterexample, when a startup becomes a "corporation" without losing the culture that made it special in the first place? How did they do it, and what was it like from the inside? Alternatively, have you joined a company during that phase, where you were part of the second generation of employees and experienced the change without the context?

I agree that the grid needs to handle variable sources and storage units, but how much of the problem can be handled by storage units? Molten salt storage looks better every day and it can be deployed anywhere with simple equipment.

Physical grid improvements may be as important as computational ones. More available and cheaper electricity is crucial to reducing the use of gas-powered building heat systems, which represent a large chunk of CO2 emissions:

It screws up SSL certs, that's for sure.
I think the way it'll happen is by America's loss of manufacturing. That's a big user of units and it's declining. Imported stuff is going to be more and more often metric unless it was also designed in America. So people are going to encounter it more and more. At some point, there might be a price penalty for specifying the less common imperial threads and material thicknesses on Chinese made parts so American designers in competitive industries might start preferring metric.

But it might never go away from daily life. The Chinese still use "jin" as a unit of weight/mass. The communists unified the customary definitions to be exactly 0.5 kg, but even they weren't powerful enough to force everybody to use kg directly. If a communist dictatorship is too weak, there's no hope for a democratic government!
Warby Parker | New York, NY | Engineering Manager, Data Engineering | Full-time | Onsite preferred but remote possible

As one of the original "clicks to bricks" retailers, Warby Parker has more interesting retail data than almost anybody else. We run our own supply chain, including an in-house optical lab; we built our own ERP; and, with a strong e-commerce site and close to 100 stores, our omnichannel game is on point.

One of our biggest challenges is getting all of that data into a coherent form and making it as easy as possible for analysts to use it. We're transitioning right now from an in-house PostgreSQL database to BigQuery, and in the process developing more mature data governance, data modeling, and general processes around data quality. And at the same time, we're working to take our ETL infrastructure to the next level.

We have a team of seven plus a Product Manager tackling this challenge, with more to come in the future.

What we need next is an Engineering Manager [0] to nurture this team into its next phase of development. Coach them to the next level, identify where we need to grow and succeed, and make it happen. Let's talk!

.apps aren't really analogous to the registry, they are more like the contents of the Program Files directory.

On macOS, the registry equivalent is all the plist files stored in ~/Library/Preferences and ~/Library/Application Support. These just get left behind when the .app is deleted.

I'm spreading Fear? No I'm not. Doubt? Yes. I invite people to eliminate the doubt, but don't accuse me of something I did not do.

Also the conclusion of my response is that electric cars don't make any reasonable change to energy efficiency or green house gas emissions, which your response fails to contradict.
I have seen and fixed code that was first written as a prototype, then used as is in a follow on project and so on, until it turned out to be used for deciding on whether or not to grand certain subsidies. Except whoops in one spot it interpreted kilometers as meters without dividing by 1000. Along with literally dozens of other outright bugs. But nobody cares, really.
It's time to stop having conversations with climate denialists.
> "[...] — everyone knows they're fake." //

One problem we're going to face is that the defence that "it wasn't me it's obviously fake" will apply to all forms of media too. I never said "grab them by the pussy" it was fake, I never raped that person on CCTV it was fake, and the existence of deepfake tech provides reasonable doubt in many cases in which previously the doubt was limited and a sound conviction could be found.
>> Tatars are really the oldest owner of Crimea and they do not support Russia...

Tatars are not the oldest owner of Crimea. 2500 years ago Crimea was a Greek colony, then it was part of a Persian Empire, then Roman Empire, then Byzantine Empire [1] Mongols conquered Crimea only in 13th century.

Here's an example article from last week about the kind of work we help with: https://governmentciomedia.com/va-radically-streamlining-cla...

The US Department of Veterans Affairs recently released a new online tool that makes it much easier for Veterans to apply for compensation claims. Based on user research, if the claim is for something like PTSD, it encourages the user to take a break and also includes crisis line info. Because the tool is digital instead of paper, it eliminates entire classes of mistakes and means that claims are processed a lot faster.

Lots of government systems need to work so much better for people. Why not join us in DC to tackle some really impactful projects? I'm always happy to answer questions if people want.
You might also appreciate mpv with its '--ytdl' option (enables the youtube-dl library). This enables you to directly stream YouTube (or any other YTDL-supported source) audio or video, rather than downloading.

mps-youtube (mpsyt) is another streaming tool, which gives the option to interactivley request, search (by title, description, genre, or channel) YouTube (only, this time) content, and create, save, and recall local playlists. A great way to explore topics or speakers, or music. No ads :-)

youtube-dl,mpv, and mps-youtube have been transformative.
I found that the good old “skip the .0 release” goes a long way.
It's all of Europe that's crazy hot now.

It's a strange kind of heat too, even without the sun beating down on you, the air is so hot and thick, it's like wearing a blanket while breathing soup.

However, in Eastern Europe most people installed split AC units in their apartments to counter this but in Western Europe that's not allowed in apartments so if you're at home or working ouside, instead of an air conditioned office, you're gonna cook.

Later EDIT: To clarify, you ARE allowed to have AC but due to regulations it's very difficult to get permission for city apartments as it has to be a centralized unit for the whole building with planning to certify that it won't affect the aesthetic of the building or be too loud or hot for the neighbors. If you want a split unit just for your apartment you'll never get permission, so basically, you're not allowed to have one. In EE regulations are lax or don't exist or are not enforced so everyone and their mums has AC.
SEEKING WORK - US Remote - Full-stack Developer

I’m a full-stack developer with over 9 years of experience working on web applications. My expertise is in e-commerce working with Magento / Shopify, but I also build web applications with React, Rails, PHP, or Elixir.

An anytime return London Edinburgh £323, off peak £238, super off peak £147. Anytime first class return is £504.

Regardless of what you think of these fares (it is cheaper if you book in advance), considering HMRC allows you to write off 45p/mile and it is slightly over 800 miles, only the anytime return is really more expensive if travelling for work vs a car. Plus you'll have £30-40/day parking in central london on top, so apart from the first class return the train (even at its most eye wateringly expensive) is cheaper than a car.
Thank you, this is very helpful!
They're two different things; you're absolutely right that "destroyed" in this context is not meant as a slight, but your parent is also right that there is a nasty tendency in the speedrunning community to actively suggest that game developers are bad at making games.
I'd be worried about selection bias there. Plenty of TV doesn't show people at work, instead showing circles of friends or family. The fact that there exists some popular shows premised on work relationships is not itself evidence of much.
I've seen this sentiment a few times on HN, particularly with stories related to Tesla. It's such an extreme leap that I, in full transparency, often wonder if it's being made in good faith.

The US has over 250 million privately owned vehicles that use an internal combustion engine for locomotion. We have 4 million miles of roads and the average commute is 25 minutes. How exactly would you structure a mass public transit system to accommodate this demand?
One of the earliest Win10 updates was "bricking" machines if a device was in the SD card slot during the update process. Guess where my update media were?

The machine became a Debian machine. It was "bricked" only to the extent that there was no way forward from the failed update to getting Windows back.
Does the bbc now have the modern clickbait intensifier generator as well? something that randomly adds "speechless", "your draw will drop", "what they dont want you to know" etc etc

Anything that the public depends on for survival could be a great candidate for this type of restriction. Think of the hundreds of lives that would have been saved had this type of law been in place for airlines and their aircraft. A guy aware of the risks running himself into a tree in a Tesla is one thing, an unaware set of pilots with hundreds of passengers on a public aircraft is another.
Went to Germany/Switzerland/France last summer, no AC anywhere - what a misery.
Correct, and the Tesla Panasonic relationship is really on the rocks (iirc at one point Tesla owed panasonic over US$1billion in payments)
One thing I've learned so far is that even though it is scorching hot outside, that won't stop the Germans from enjoying the sun.

It's a better deal to earn $29,000 than $69,000 due to the loss of benefits. That means people don't strive for better. They avoid promotions.
In Switzerland we are getting our first reprieve from the same heat wave now: super-intense thunderstorm cells have formed and are releasing rain across the country.

Could not come a moment too soon. The heat was incapacitating, and I write this as someone who grew up in Tornado Alley. If this kind of thing returns with greater frequency or duration, the results will be catastrophic. Dwellings, energy, etc. are not designed here for such extremes.
That's probably the hidden agenda.
What does candela still do there? It is extremely unfundamental imho, and sort of vaguely based on human physiology which seems out of place for SI unit. It is not even fully defined because you need also a definition for luminous efficacy. Of course candela is utterly useless outside the visible spectrum which should be a huge alarm bell against it.
I disagree - well designed smart devices (of which there are vanishingly few) are definitely worthwhile. The big feature is interop - I can script my lights, and I can drive them via my phone or a switch. It's been a huge quality of life increase IMO
legitimate authority comes from following someone's advice not imposed upon. Does a worker have the option of not listening to their boss without material consequence? If not, then it isn't legitimate.

If a doctor is an expert on lungs, do you listen to what they tell you which TV show to watch, or shoes to wear, or where to be at a certain time each day?

Leadership is not a position, but a role anyone can take at any time.
“He was an ardent opponent of Hitler and the Nazi regime.”

I don’t think he counts as a villain, unless you were pro-Entente.
I've had to give estimates for my entire 20 year career, half of which wasn't 'Agile'. So first, Agile has nothing to do with this, in fact, Scrum tries to over come this by splitting up tasks into smaller chunks with frequent demoing, re-prioritization etc. It was much worse before this.

But to everyone, if management is going to beat you up with your estimates, maybe find a place where management doesn't? The pathological thing described in all of these situation isn't Scrum, Agile, or giving estimates... Its the managers who beat up employees.
IIRC Google do automated checks on robots.txt and report in webmaster tools if you did something that looks crazy.

https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-002d1f819e1bfbbd14fa2d... shows some of the interface, but I seem to recall getting notified in webmaster tools when I messed up the robots.txt on a particular site.
I thought OSHA caved on temperature standards. Did you quote a "suggestion" from OSHA?
Suggestion:
Go to meetups (tech or otherwise) and other social activities. I've found this to be the best way to meet people who have a shared interest and are looking to be social. I've been remote for most of my career and this has been so important to my ability to stay remote. Yes it will be awkward at first, but it won't take long to meet enough people to make friends and it really only builds on itself from there.

Ive is a great soldier, but Jobs knew which battles to fight. Apple has lost its way and doesn't know what directions to go in, where technology needs to move to serve its users. And Apple's huge money chest and insularity are of no help. They need an inspired product leader.

No, they were just sloppy. Wrong graphics were common enough that Fox management had to write grumpy memos about it. You're basing your argument on a hook sentence from a tabloid. Nobody thought they made the mistake because they couldn't tell them apart.
