Something I've had to learn with larger organizations is that the logic at the top isn't always conveyed to the bottom. Perverse incentives play heavily into this. An example of this is executive bonuses. Everyone knows that for long term health of a company short term gains should be subservient to long term gains. Bonus structures are typically structured for short term, which means that in order for an employee to get a bonus they have to do something that farms the company long term.

Another example is RIFs (reduction in force). An executive in IT gets a bonus for cost containment by not hiring appropriately. This leads to longer hold times, poorer service techs, and less training. Overall it costs the company more time lost and wasted effort, but this isn't tracked, only bottom line. The exec gets his bonus for cost cutting and the company gets less efficient and effective for it.

This is a major problem in large corporations and why CEOs are really useless employees in most cases, and almost universally overpaid compared to results. Generally a company could do without a CEO it choose one at random and get the same results.
There is plenty of work out now showing that we may have gone as far as we can with the 'throw more data' at it approach. Work out of the Adversarial AI area showing that models are learning shallow representations regardless of the amount of data used, work showing that even with deep learning we are hitting diminishing marginal returns with larger and larger corpus sizes, almost complete lack of progress in dealing with 'context'... I think that is a large part of the sudden resurgence of interest in ontologies, knowledge graphs, etc...

Cut toxic people out of your life asap. they can't be fixed or reasoned with. Avoid like the plague.
That's true but at the same time I'm not trying to be in AI because it's such a specialist role which may or may not be a fad which the employment market overfills with new grads with a new degree in "ML", bricking salaries. But I think the internet will be here for awhile.

> "I'm valuable just because I exist?"

That's a start. What missguided thinking would suggest otherwise?

But that doesn't mean, that you are valuable (able to provide value) to someone else.

However, the point about self worth, I like to make is: self worth starts with you - based on experience, and obviously supported by a feedback loop you gain confidence in what you're good at, and what not.

So, the best way to gain self worth is by gaining confidence, is by gaining experience.
Azure has a supercomputer emulator, and even if OpenAI doesn't get a full $1B in cash but gets to use it as credits on the emulator, that could be huge.
I'm not totally against Racket without parens, but to gain popularity this seems not to be the first action should be taken. Like IDE, tooling, libraries/ecosystem improvements.

For example, the documentation is really great, but Drracket is only good, not great. Probably good VSCode integration would help a lot, since not everyone is using Emacs for serious work.
I used monday.com a few years ago. Back then it was called "dapulse". Thank goodness for the name change. I felt silly every time I said it.

I don't remember exactly how their philosophy differs from all the other project management tools. I just remember really wanting to like it because of how clean it was, but not really being able to. I think it required too much setup and customization for my liking. Kind of like how Jira is super customizable, but you have to put a lot of work in to getting something that works really well. My team ended up switching back to just using Github issues/projects/milestones.

I completely agree with what you said about the human component being the most important part. I've never had any success using a project management tool with a team that is unwilling to put forth the effort to maintain it. On the other hand, I've had great success using less-than-perfect tools with a team that is willing to keep it organized. Right now my team is using Gitlab as our project management tool. There are a few things that bother me with how Gitlab does issue tracking. However, it is working phenomenally for us since everyone helps keep it organized.
Oh nice - thank you very much! :-D

I thought about writing my own app for exactly that task but when I see yours I think I don't need to do that anymore. Awesome! :-)
Fantastic list and i have got so many little tips from looking at them to use on my own site…Thank you so much for this!

I felt there was enough context to parse correctly because:

- Spectre is a well known vulnerability in speculative execution

- I know that speculative execution bugs had compiler workarounds involving how you do your jumps (retpoline etc.)

- "language implementer" is a common synonym or overlapping term with "compiler author"

Sam Altman is on record saying that they asked him to leave because he recruited talent from OpenAI for his other companies. Sam seemed quite philosophical about it though and was complimentary to Musk otherwise. It doesn't sound like there was a ton of bad blood there.
Wait... what is a "cut"? A minimal sample that show how it help with the error messages?
I'm pretty sure Adobe Air is free. And Electron is only popular among developers, whereas Air is a runtime for end users. Not saying you should use Air, just that I think what you are building has been built before. I do applaud you for the work, though.
I did not expect the news of the death of Mr. Kraft to hit me as hard as it did, I never met him personally but somehow I felt very connected to him and his history when I read the book "Failure is not an option". Go with God Mr. Kraft, you have left such a tremendous legacy I don't even think we can thank you enough.
I learned a lesson to solve this years ago: you are not talking to enough people.

Start conversations. Ask questions. Don’t boast. Let people share their problems with you.

Also, if you really can’t think of something start copying something you like, tonight, but worry about all of it from the start. How will you sell? How will you market? Write that shit down, and start copying.
The Textual IRC client for Mac does this with like 40-60MB of RAM, and that's still using a WebKit view for the chat pane. The rest of the UI is pure Cocoa and way nicer.
I've worked with someone who acted, down to the very last detail, exactly like what you describe. The rot went all the way to the top. Really, it was the CEO's fault that he allowed this sort of culture to flourish under him, and the company ultimately collapsed in pretty spectacular fashion.

I treated the whole thing as a learning experience and have successfully managed to avoid ending up in a similar situation since.
Accepting people as they are. I haven’t found anything more powerful when it comes to interacting with people. I worked my way through personality types, influence, negotiations and a bunch of other so called soft skills.

Wholehearted acceptance of people; their motivations and fears; their habits and aspirations. When I am able to exercise this superpower (which does not happen often), I am able to open them up and change their trajectory. And in process, I myself learn and grow.
That might be what the parent poster meant, but I think you should consider the opposite as well: debating is itself the source of the personal feelings. People will generally remember the fact that you debated (almost-argued) more than they will remember your arguments. If you want to keep someone open to what you have to say, debating is one of the more counterproductive things you can do.

Instead, if your goal is persuasion, you should remember that, regardless of how we want the world to work, persuasion in practice is as emotional as it is intellectual.

The thing that never happens when real ideas are at stake is that someone manages to deliver an argument so devastating that the other side reconsiders. I've never seen it happen. What I have seen all the time is gradually shifting someone's thinking until they eventually come around.
Thank you, John!!
> That being said, you could probably create a pair of colliding images, give one to a news outlet or something, then later post the second (presumably banned) one. The app would on short notice need to decide between banning neither or banning both.

Yeah they did this - except the contraband was automatically recognised and both images were banned via hash.
Can you provide a detailed (even if fictitious) example?
Thanks, would love the feedback!
Thank you for the hint, looks like some good source.
> Either that applies to all states (vacuous)

Why is it vacuous? It's a perfectly well-defined claim. You might not agree with it, but that doesn't make it vacuous.

> Why do you believe that these documents which describe the US state are emblematic of the "west"?

You used the word "emblematic", not me. Stop putting words in my mouth.

At this point I've said what I want to say. I'm done.

> Law is not intended to be a reflection of morality

By whom? By any reasonable definition the two will never be the same (otherwise why have two words for it), but it does seem like laws ensure justice, and justice is a reflection of how people feel, and that all comes together to form morality.

Coordinated social pressure has its limitations. 50 years ago homosexuality is deeply frowned upon in the US, now it's accepted in a fair number of places, shouldn't the law change to reflect the new morality of the times?

And now likewise if we think that taxes are too low for the mega wealthy, or companies are bribing the living hell out of congress... shouldn't we make laws against that? I don't see stern looks changing these problems.
Manual Work is a Bug – Always be automating (2018)
I'll second this. I spent roughly 2/3s of my life in a terrible ADD vortex of self loathing, hiding, and genuine depression. My sense of self had diminished to a scary degree towards my thirties because I was convinced I was a broken person but had this job to upkeep, kids to raise, a relationship to maintain. I had given up on understanding what was wrong with me.

Then I realized my kid had an attention disorder and decided to research it. I realized I fit the description as well. I discovered this is often passed from parent to child and I had no idea how to navigate this myself or how to help my kid... Who I gave this thing to in the first place.

In the short years since I figured this out, talked to professionals about it, and generally started setting myself up for success instead of living moment to moment running from failure... Things have changed such an incredible amount. ADD will never go away, I'll always be like this, but now I have some sort of foundation and understanding to work from. I'm motivated to overcome it so I can help my kid, too. There's no way he can have the experience I did.

It's so worth talking to someone. I suspected something was wrong for 10-15 years and never did anything and I seriously regret it. What if I had an extra ten years of being aware of this thing? Would my family be happier? Would I own a home already? Would I be happier and have better self esteem? Probably yes to everything. Don't delay, take care of yourself.
YKK makes lots of terrible zippers, you need to look specifically for the YKK Excella.

Besides, YKK isn't the only high-end zipper maker, Raccagni, RiRi and Lampo all make excellent zippers too.
Complying with the MIT license by including it in each SVG file would defeat the stated purpose of "SuperTinyIcons" - to consume very few bytes - by ~tripling the file size of each icon.

The icons are ~500 bytes - the license is over 1 kilobyte.
When people say something "is a Lisp" that usually has little to do with list processing. It's about whether it inherits more from lambda calculus than from Turing machines.

If you're debating you've already lost the debate. The effective way to win a debate is not to have one. You either convince the other person the idea was theirs, which is easier than it sounds, or you get them to argue your point for you at which point it is their idea. Learning how to do this takes effort and a willingness to realize how little one truly knows about the art of effective speaking. You'll also begin to recognize when other people are manipulating you using this method. A really quick trick for this method is to start a conversation with something the person said and then say that what they said gave you your idea. Very few people won't take the compliment, you'll immediately validate their who ego and intelligence, and they'll immediately feel like you owe than something which means they'll want to be around you more. A good book as a primer for this is Influence by Cialdini.

Here's the kicker it even works when the person knows you're doing it. So it was good you brought this idea up, it allowed us to have a really good conversation about it and explore it more fully.
But the alternative to a rewrite is gradual refactoring, i.e. Ship of Theseus, i.e. not a rewrite.
As an aside, a little tip my father taught me was to always carry a handkerchief/towelette sort of thing in your pocket to clean the nib of your pen before you write. That'll take away the smear of leftover ink that collects at the tip, and makes your writing generally turn out neater/ with less mess.
Planes crash constantly by that argument as well. Anecdotes are not data. If you’re going to make a claim about something “constantly” happening, provide some stats.
A Collection of Postmortems
The long-term goal is to switch users to use podman (and buildah I guess), with cri-o being a daemon that uses the same underlying code. The only reason a daemon is required in the first place is because the CRI uses gRPC.

This is loosely similar to how rkt operated, with rktnetes just being a front-end for rkt (though at the time, the CRI didn't exist so it was all hardcoded in Kubernetes).

The goal isn't to have a differently-named daemon required in order to do any operation, and podman enables that (though again, so did rkt).
Is this just Brand logos? If not, I don't really get it.
Pixar use a technique called "plussing"[1] where any critique given is framed as a positive constructive addition. Eg you accept something for what it is and suggest a way to improve it rather than saying it's bad or wrong. I've tried to use it, and continue to try, but it's hard work. When I manage to do it properly it works very well.

No, in this case is Fry’s selling a returned product as new. This is actually the main reason I stopped shopping at Fry’s. It could be the case that the customer re-sealed and returned, but I’ve seen it often enough at Fry’s that I suspect the store is re-sealing returned product and re-sell as new.
Can you share more details of the situation? I'm curious what they were lying about and how you pinned them down.
Historical reality cannot be dismissed as 'nonsense'.

> I have no idea what this refers to.

You are arguing on a topic you obviously know very little about and that you don't understand, judging by your nebulous comments. And you're doing it in a very dismissive and rather rude way.

I would suggest you take a step back.
One is too many. Constantly for something like this, kidnapping a citizen and holding him without charges or due process is pretty much all the time... this is what the troops supposedly die for, freedom.
> Is it just file size?

The stated purpose of the project is "Icons under 1KB each". So embedding a 1KB license in each one would defeat the purpose.

Even if file size is not the main goal, embedding metadata could be self-defeating in other ways. If the license requires making the license available to end-users, would that prevent the use of asset pipeline optimization tools? (The motivation for using a permissive license is often to enable compatibility with general-purpose tools.) If the license only requires making the license available to maintainers, then why embed it in the first place?
Negative comments are usually much less useful also. They are usually one of those:

1) Animosity (the person dislikes you)

2) A broad description of a mistake

3) Different taste

Only (2) can be somewhat useful, although (3) is permissible sometimes I guess. Often the person already knows he might be doing something wrong or not good enough; simply pointing it out leads nowhere, knowing what not to do still leaves unancessibly vast possibilities.

It seems much better to directly (and probably privately) suggest alternatives, offer solutions, etc.

I like this opinion piece about this:

http://fanaro.com.br/negative-language-why-you-should-avoid-...

Diverging should be discussed under some circumstances though, specially if you clarify your rationale (or when discussing unconsequential things like foods and such).

Overall pointing out solutions and affirming good values, qualities, outcomes if much more useful (and has the bonus of being charitable, even affectionate).
Absolutely, and I'm sure there's more cases we simply don't hear about. The lack of accountability is a huge issue and the fact that you can get swept up into this disaster because you have the wrong name or were at the wrong place should concern people quite a bit.

Out of curiosity: Do you think Julia is not a Lisp, or that Julia doesn’t work?
Irrespective of what nationality you belong to, the phrase "second try" means same to all. Second try is confusing and misleading, it means you failed on the first try, although the word failure is different to all. If you think a technical snag in a space program which involves a lot of complexity means a project failure then I don't blame you for liking the article but for the majority of the people who understand the level of complexity in such program are less critical on the delays and snags.
Tl;dr caught at a CBP checkpoint with an underage Mexican immigrant without legal status. Presumed by CBP to also be Mexican immigrant and handed over to ICE.

Seems we need an easier way to prove citizenship at CBP checkpoints. Being expected to carry any ID in-country as a citizen is bullshit (I know that’s common in other countries but that’s not ok).

Scaling up another ec2 instance is slower than a container.

So if you have 10 services deployed on 10 ec2 instances each, you will need 200 ec2 instances to give yourself 50% headroom for each service.

With containers, you can give each container 10x headroom for the same amount of hardware.
>Those data show that from 2007 through July of last year, 693 U.S. citizens were held in local jails on federal detainers — in other words, at the request of immigration officials. And 818 more Americans were held in immigration detention centers during that same time frame, according to data obtained through a separate FOIA request by Northwestern University professor Jacqueline Stevens and analyzed by NPR.
New Startup Where Founders Pitch Engineers
I've always wondered if a good way to do infix would be to simply have the ability to mark an item with a character that means "move this to the front of the expression." Let's say the char is ":". Then this:

(1 :+ 2)

Would be converted to this:

(+ 1 2)

It would also allow for arbitrary placement, so you can do goofy stuff like pretend to be Forth without writing custom macros for the situation:

(1 2 3 4 5 :+)

Whether or not that part is an advantage is another story ;)

This doesn't solve the "too many parens" problem, because you still have parens, but it does solve the "prefix math looks weird" problem. It's quite a bit simpler than what Dylan does, in that there's no special concept of "binary operators" and it's obvious at a glance how everything converts to sexps.
Sadly the higher up you go, the higher the likelihood you'll be dealing with sociopaths and psychopaths. While sociopaths can be very effective executives, psychopaths should always be watched it for as they thrive on the drama and power. Sociopaths just lack empathy which makes them highly useful in making emotionally difficult decisions. For a Star Trek reference sociopaths act like Vulcans when it comes to empathy. Psychopaths act like Romulans in nearly every situation. Don't get emotionally invested in either.

Christopher Kraft and Gene Kranz were the two people that I associated with mission control growing up. I don't think I missed a launch until well into the Space Shuttle program. By then they became almost routine.

Even then I didn't pass up a chance to see lift off. As I detailed on here once before I sat with a client and we watched the Challenger disaster together.
The article I linked reports 1500 citizens were held for some period of time on federal detainers or in immigration detention centers over a 9 year period.

Without commenting on whether I agree with their advice or not, I just want to point out that "if everyone x then y" is a poor argument against x.

People might be sensitive to negativity, but positivity can absolutely change somebody's outlook.
