Well meaning or otherwise, it's impossible to avoid falling into this sort of situation at some point or another. What makes or breaks a manager is how well they navigate it.

Pushing your team to do shit on time by force may work, but it's a risky and generally unsustainable strategy. And the immediate repercussions of doing so are largely opaque higher than you as the immediate manager (and potentially your boss). Strategic failure or missed deadlines can generally get the visibility you need to ensure you get the consideration or resources going forward to prevent it from becoming a norm. But that also has political costs and considerations, so you have to have a firm grasp of your position in the org, your positioning and messaging on the issue, and how well you capitalize on the follow up before the window for change/resources closes.

Business executives may not understand what you or your team do, but their decision making process is largely similar to a systems engineering problem. When joining the company as a manager, you have to rapidly understand the general structure of the legacy system that is your new company, where your team fits into that architecture, the integration points and dependencies your team and reporting structure has with the wider company (which is as much personal and political as it is technical), and approach the maintenance, oversight, and positioning of your team as appropriate.

It's a very active process, and without the benefit of source code, documentation, or logging you may have when getting up to speed on a technical system. A passive manager just acts as a message bus passing through demands from the business until the service that is their team becomes overloaded and things only get better if the upstream demand decreases. An active manager attempts to influence the overall system in such a way where those spikes are rare enough to be manageable, trigger the appropriate alerts (from an organization perspective), such that the upstream demands and downstream capacity to service those demands are in alignment.
in other words - its politics.

/kenburns/promo.mp4 | GET | 175574 | 33.4183748571803

That the video was watched 175574 times? That would indeed be a lot!
I bumped into listennotes about 6 months ago, because I was looking to solve the same problem of discovering podcasts.
Backblaze B2 + Cloudflare would be a perfect combination for hosting a static site. Unfortunately there's no way to map a Backblaze bucket to a domain, so even if you use cloudflare to point www.mydomain.com to it your files still show up at www.mydomain.com/path/to/bucket.

But it certainly works if you need to CDN a bunch of large files.
Note that they are not the second biggest shopping site by any reasonable metric (sales, visitors, unique shoppers, orders, SKUs, really anything). This article is using market cap:

> The company has quickly become the most popular online shopping destination, second only to Amazon, thanks to an astronomical increase of its shares in the past year. So far this year, stock has soared 160% with revenue coming in at $362 million during its last quarter.

Shopify has a high stock price is the only take away from this article. It's not an ecommerce destination and is not comparable to Amazon or Ebay.
The only way it would be counterfeit is if they sell it as an Anker product or print Anker on the product.

My assumption would be that the same factory that makes Anker products is also selling the same designs to competitors - it's also possible that a different factory just cloned it.

Note that even if it's the same factory, they could have different quality control for different clients. So quality can differ even on identical designs.
Like a lot of things, sell through a reputable dealer (like KEH in the case of cameras). But you’ll get less that a non-scammy sale and they’ll be picky about what they’ll even take.

Amazon can also be easy and safe if they want what you want to sell. But you won’t get the best possible price. Still I’ve done it as the path of least resistance.
Security concerns are always conspicuously lacking from this type of posts and discussions. If you’re a solo dev looking to start a project, please don’t take OP’s stack as a positive example. Use managed services whenever possible, they will at least keep you patched and simplify intrusion detection when configured correctly.
I'm not sure I understand the idea. How is my laptop or desktop going to get internet access this way? Am I going to have to buy a PCI card or USB antenna for each computer? Right now I get 100 Mbps down with no data cap via a cable provider. Trading for a system with antennas on every device , lower speeds, and probably metered sounds like one hell of a downgrade.

While Fiji is a good example, it should be noted that their impact isn't as big as people think, mostly because they fill up ships that would otherwise return to the US anyway. The return trips used to be mostly empty, now they carry Fiji Water. (Yes the added weight means more fuel is burned)
I also grew up with BASIC. I don't know if I would develop the same enthusiasm for computers nowadays. Yes - it's a lot of BASIC in this language.
Countries like Australia and the US act is if they're the fair enforcers for the world, when in reality, they just want to defend the status quo that benefits them. They act as if they have a god given right to occupy their positions on the world stage when in reality they played far dirtier than China to get where they are.

And if you're say Russia, even virtually surrounded by NATO, they're constantly being accused of being expanionalist. And the same with China.

So I think it's totally OK to bring up history, because if we look at China's rise compared with the rise of Western countries, we see that China's path to supremacy has been far more peaceful.
Sure I can see that logic.

But how many people are writing APIs and either

1) aren't experienced enough to figure out how to write a Lambda function (using a wrapper FaaS like Netlify), or

2) are experienced and are willing to sacrifice the ecosystem you get from open-source/widely adopted languages/frameworks for a marginal amount of convenience over something like Netlify, where they can use whatever language they already know.

Maybe I don't see it and it's actually a lot of people. But in all my time working on APIs, I've never heard of someone writing an API who wasn't already a decently experienced developer.

Typically the front-end facing solution would come first for them, because why would they build something people like themselves would have trouble figuring out how to use? Which is where most no-code/low-code solutions are targeted for that reason.
This is not politics, it's a "letter to the editor" or an opinion piece (a well cited one at that).
No, this just means that Shopify has a high stock market valuation. This isn't looking at sales figures at all.

And since they just rent software to people who sell things I'm not sure it makes sense to compare them to more traditional eCommerce plays (if you started selling homes through Shopify somehow it would hugely increase "sold goods", but not in a way that impacts anything).
The free shipping is weird....I recently noticed that my father was looking up something he wanted me to order for him....his price was less, same item and amazon seller. I logged in and boom my price was $3 higher on a 20 dollar item. So, I'm not sure how "free" the shipping is anymore.

I do agree that fast shipping is a big part of amazon but I think another big player could match the processing speed.

Are you joking? Evian. Perrier. Volvic. Massive export water brands shipped all around the world to probably every country on earth.
I would think that primaries would vastly favor incumbents, to a greater degree than a general.
I don't like the arrogance of such projects. Plus, when I decide to invest into a technology, I do due diligence, and I'm not impressed here.
Sorry. I get it. Money is more popular than taking responsibility. I'll try to be more of a shill next time.
I'm really not sure where you're getting your math. I think you're conflating net (post-tax) income with gross (pre-tax) income, but the numbers you're saying don't add up even with that assumption, so I'm really not sure what mistake you've made or how to correct it.

My monthly breakdown is (VERY) roughly: 45% taxes, 15% health insurance, 10% rent, 5% other required stuff (food/utilities/other insurances). The remaining 25% mostly goes to savings/retirement, but sometimes not, depending on variances in expenses and if I decide to buy some big ticket item. When I do spend money it's usually on experiences (trips/concerts mostly) rather than buying things.

I make more than $50K/year. If you make enough money to pay the full cost of health insurance, and you live frugally on your other expenses, it would be quite easy for health insurance to be half your expenses.

I don't know specifically about the UK, but the zero cost shipping from China isn't a US thing. It's an international agreement, and I've seen things being shipped for free from China to both Europe and the Middle East.

Photopea is AWESOME!!!
was honestly expecting a stack along the line of yours - the one in the article is actually fairly complex and not-boring.
If I was doing windows programming I would definitely write a c# GUI everyday-all day over what's currently available in rust, but still do my business logic in Rust :) . I simply adore the language at this point.
Having a headphone jack does not prevent you from using Bluetooth. Not having a headphone jack makes your phone objectively less useful.

You were presented with a usecase where a wire provides a convienence that Bluetooth can't match. How can you just ignore that and say wires don't make sense?
I run a similar, maybe even more boring stack for my less-than-one-person company [PyDist](https://pydist.com):

- PostgreSQL database

- Nginx proxy in front of Django apps for UI and API servers (I use gunicorn instead of uWSGI though)

- Cron jobs which invoke django-admin commands to keep the PyPI mirror in sync

Perhaps the only place I'm any fancier than OP is that my deploy script is in Python, not shell, since any time I try to write a shell script with even slightly nontrivial logic it falls over and catches fire :)

I've often worried about that; in fact its really kept me from blogging about our infrastructure at all. Am I too paranoid? I've often thought if I were to do so that I'd set up a honeypot; but who has the time for such games?!
LOL, I'm "that guy" I think...
Glad we agree about the complex/cyclic structures at least.

Regarding C#, I said for the most part. I stick by my assertion that (a) GC is quite efficient (esp.w/gen0 objects generated by your "expressions") and far from "lame" and (b) working with value types and Span<> (like Rust Slices) together can significantly reduce GC pressure to the point where it's acceptable, assuming there was actually an issue to begin with. Doing this in C# on hot-paths is certainly much less effort than moving to Rust wholesale, and you haven't thrown out the GC baby with the bath-water.

All the things that you do to make Rust efficient - allocate on the stack instead of the heap when you can, pre-allocate when size is known, use static/nested lifetimes, use slices to owned structures, etc., you can do in C#, but you don't have to worry about it until it actually becomes an issue.

If you're in the kernel or embedded system or the middle of a game rendering loop, then sure, Rust's compiler guarantees make this style programming easier if that's the way you want to go - and Rust has macros and other features that C# lacks. (Although the .Net JITTer is going to generate type-specialized methods and inline them, etc., w/a Rust macro you know up-front exactly what is being generated, which is nice.)
Okay. Email sent.
Doing research would be pretty cool
The people making the bulk of the money have the greater role in taking responsibility. It's always been like this. And by all comparisons and contrasts, buying water in plastic bottles is a losing proposition. 99% of consumers lose money by buying water this way.

It's been kind of eating at me a bit. I want people to get into music, so what about this could feel so bad?

After a day of sitting on the thought, I think it's this: They come at it from the most over-glorified, super-high, angle. The place where all of the fame to talent ratio is wayyyy on the fame side. It's not that talented people don't loop, but there's already enough people falling into that music trap without it being literally the first thing they're introduced to musically.

Coming at it from drum loops first seems like a good way to ruin any chance a person had of being patient with the practice. Why work for years to hone in on an instrument when it sounds so much better to just play prefab loops?

And the same with contacts! I should be able to select the minimum of contacts that some app sees. And also to narrow down which fields of all possible contact fields.
I meant out of all the password managers I've used, and I'm not exaggerating.

it's ridiculous that I have to go to the edit page just to copy a password. Neither Keypass, nor LastPass, nor any other password manager I've used, suffers from this.

And the amount of time it took for me to figure out how to create a password and allow others access to it is kind of silly.

I grew up in South Florida. Jacques Cousteau was one of my childhood heroes. I snorkeled from early on, and got SCUBA certified as soon as I could. I dove many times off the Florida mainland and the Keys. Never had to fly to dive, just drive or ride out, sometimes we just swam from shore.

I would love to dive the Great Barrier Reef while it's still great, but can't justify it on the grounds you lay out. But I wish people could get the sense of what is being lost. Seeing it in person, in situ, is very different from watching it on a screen.
We have no insight as to what the actual costs of running the infrastructure is.

Dark can basically ask for any numbers they want and you'd have to pay it if you build something sizable on this platform, because moving away would be even more costly.
Tesla doesn't actually use Shopify to sell cars – they sell merch and some parts through Shopify, IIRC.

Your point stands that Shopify's largest merchants make up a huge proportion of GMV, but it's not because of big ticket items like cars.
sidekiq! Interesting wenbin also wrote a task queue system... must be something about that type of engineer that leads to this pragmatic tech strategy.
I've played the no-headphone-socket 'game' with my G1.
The g1 was a great phone, but not having a standard headphone socket sucked.
The adapter was aweful UX. It was fiddly to use, uncomfortable in the pocket, fragile, and risked damaging the phone's USB port.

I don't want to repeat that experience
I wish they wouldn't just use '4G' and '5G' as if they were one concrete thing. List the actual individual protocols.

Sprint use to offer 4G in the United States that was Wi-Max based, but now almost all 4G is LTE. In Australia there was a Wi-Max provider (Vivi Wireless) but on a different frequency than the US and only via hot-spots (no phone support, that I know of).

Is 4G for all these reports LTE? What exactly is 5G in all these contexts? Are we talking about the same protocol, or another collection of protocols expected to have x speed at y range?
News outlets collaborate to strengthen media’s focus on the climate crisis
If the Greenland ice sheet melted, it would raise sea levels by 23 feet. If the greenland, himalayss, and antarctic ice sheets all melted it would raise sea levels by 216 feet. That seems crazy, but every week there is a new story about how astonished scientists are at how fast the ice is melting. The earth has been ice free in the past, without human help. Presumably it will be ice free again in the future, perhaps the near future.
Or just force them to use desalination. Of course, the voters will wait for the aquifer to be destroyed, and THEN pass a law saying water bottling companies can't do that.
That's less than a trillion, which is likely much cheaper than the future cost to mitigate the damage caused by the loss of this forest. It feels like a very reasonable solution.
While it may only be a small fraction of the total withdrawn, the issue should focus on the overall volume of aquifer. If the amount is decreasing then there ought to be considerations for halting non-essential usage.
I think the announcement says that qualified YC startups get the product development consulting services, in return for equity.
yes, I was blown away by how bad it is the first time I saw it.

password management isn't a hard problem (outside of security concerns), why the hell did they end up with that UI?
Think instead about a frontend or app developer who wants a simple backend that Just Works and can talk to the outside world painlessly (and there are tons of cases where something like Firebase wouldn't suffice). They're not worried about closed-source or lock-in because that's simply not going to move the needle on their project's success at that stage. It could be huge for that market.
Why not?

Snowden was a civilian, which means he'll go through the public courts when he gets here. The "fair and impartial" part means that jury members will be randomly selected, and then the prosecutor, judge, and defense lawyers get to throw out potentially unwanted jury members.

Beyond that, a "fair and impartial" jury is just that. Randomized people who will be forced to listen to the case. That's literally how our court system works.

------

Tell me: how do you imagine things would go down?

EDIT: https://www.politico.com/story/2013/06/edward-snowden-compla...

Looks like the public courts as far as I can tell. US District Court of Virginia. Complaints are filed (have been for years), courts are ready. All Snowden needs to do is show up for the show to get going.

> He’d be tried in some secret court somewhere and we’d never find out what happened to him.

If they were planning on a "secret court" (whatever that means), they're doing a horrible job at it. Putting all of these charges in public and all.

> The state would never actually let him win, regardless of the facts.

That's not for the state to decide. Its up to the jury.
Which is why spreading £10 over thousands of websites is much easier to sell than £0.01 per article. With the later model people become paralised with choice, and the former model has been successful as the backbone for SMS/data infrastructure almost everywhere.

> You’re dismissing the mall call by saying no analogy is perfect since it doesn’t work for your argument but then you’re comparing against grocery stores, which is a pretty gross simplification.

No I'm saying it has very important distinctions that make the grocery store analogy inappropriate and that the mall or flea market analogy is closer in some respects, but not all.

>Amazon isn’t a grocery store. The majority of their catalog isn’t even available at most grocery stores, maybe excluding WalMart.

Of course it's not. That's a big part of my original point.

> Some were displayed on shelves and you only paid for what was actually sold.

My dad worked for Lance (and frito lay for a while). I could be wrong and you could have had a very unusual distributor. But my guess is you misunderstood what was happening.

Companies do sometimes offer buyback guarantees and you might even be able to buy items on credit, so that it appears you're only paying for what sells, but that's not actually how it works. Those items are the property of the store while they are on the shelf.
