>The only explicit difference is the demand to do it immediately.

No. The first speaker exaggerates the issue to make a point ("you always"), makes a roundabout reference to societal norms ("it's disgusting") instead of describing what actually annoys them (socks lying on the floor right now) and why (I don't want to see them because I personally find them disgusting, not because Felix failed to meet some outside standard).

>A competent person must be able to deal with both speakers.

Sure, but you can't change how others deal with your words. You can only choose how you yourself communicate.

>Describing words as violence fundamentally undermines the "old" (aka what I grew up with) liberal western order that was do whatever you want as long as it brings no harm.

I think you describe two problems here:

* The name is indeed unfortunate.
* It is percieved as an objective standard against which to judge all communication, rather than a guide for one's own actions.

As I see it, it's generally pointless to expect others to behave in a certain "right" way that you can reasonably suspect they might not, and then get annoyed when they indeed don't. Speaking in a pointlessly confrontational manner (such as making arguments from omniscience, like "you always", or "you are a ___ person" etc) is more likely to provoke an aggressive reaction than sticking to the facts (observations about your own feelings are also facts). Why not choose the latter?
It doesn't even have to be a "world leader", TOS enforcement seems to be stronly partisan (or worse, completely random) and only really big outcries change that.
Every ”X new thing I made on a weekend is faster than Y old thing” is inevitably a half-implemented version of the old thing. Of course doing less instructions is going to be faster.

These numbers look weird. If only 80 whales in Hawaii are equivalent to 208 acres, then the entire world population of sperm whales should certainly contribute more than not even 4 times that number. But just 1 sperm whale contributing almost 4 times what 80 whales contribute in Hawaii also looks unlikely.
While I won't go as far as calling it a scam (as one comment did below), I can to a certain degree confirm what you said. Also, is it bad? Yes. Worse than other places? No, simply more open and direct about it. Personally, I prefer the openess about it. And from a company perspective, it works out pretty well, doesn't it? All that is for the office workers and managers. Warehouse workers are different.

At least for Germany I know that Amazon is paying above average salaries for them (compared to DHL and others). And generally speaking warehouse workers, and all other rank and file logistics workers, are treated like drones. Again, nothing special about Amazon. But that doesn't mean the situation should be accepted.

All that being said, Amazon is a great place to learn and gain a shit load of experience. On all levels, even if there is a hard ceiling for blue collar workers to get promoted to white collar positions these promotions do happen regularly. The blue collar worker still has to suck up to a manager, so. In other places I know these promotions do never happen. The most important thing to have in mind when working for Amazon is, IMHO, to work on a feasible exit strategy from day one. Because long careers are the exception to the rule there. Oh, and be aware that it is a tough place to work at. Of you are om with that, go for it. Otherwise, stay away.

One last comment, one I learned the hard way. If you are not really comfortable with the way Amazon can treat people, even if you do what you can to make a difference there, you will be part of the problem simply by pushing forward and going a good job delivering high quality results. The one cannot be had without the other. Personally, I am not sure how I see Amazon, pretty peculiar place.

Great story.

I seem to keep finding cash. The first time when I was 9, a couple hundred between racks in a department store. I showed my mom and we brought it to Lost&Found. A year later after nobody had claimed the money, they called us up and gave it to me as the finder. I promptly invested it in a shiny new skateboard.

The last time I was walking behind two guys on the street and one of them dropped a bundle of bills. He didn't notice. I picked them up and yelled "hey, stop!" after them. It was dark. I'm sure they heard me, because they stopped talking to each other, but they quickened pace without looking around. I kept yelling at them - in hindsight it must have come across as aggressive, because they just kept hurrying away. At last one of them turned around, saw that I wasn't trying to jump them, and gladly accepted his money back. He wouldn't let me go until I reluctantly accepted $20 as a thank you.

Modernism for me is systems, process and indirection between artist/designer and the work, where the effort is more put into designing those systems and tools and being able to control the consistency of the output by tweaking the parameters of the system, tool and process. A good and extreme example are fonts or vector/parametric design software.

Before that, in the classical era it was more about raw skills through practice and reaching some kind of wonderkid level of excellence measured by popular standards that were tied to complexity, e.g. the most realistic painting or most beautiful form of an object. One example, to stay in the realm of type would be script calligraphy, where letterers learn script styles and try to reproduce them as best as possible.

Postmodernism gets rid of the systems and indirection and is more about direct human expression and originality, without trying that hard to reach an ideal or make the most realistic like in the classical era. The example in type would be freestyle hand lettering or graffiti writing, or even normal handwriting, and accepting and embracing the imperfections that are generated by your own body which results in your own recognizable style.

No. The switches worked differently in the MAX than in the NG. Doing what would work in the NG would not work in the MAX.
> Formulaic communication techniques come across as dishonest.

IMO saying things like: use empathy are also suboptimal ways of teaching people about communication. Because those type of statements are quite vague and ambiguous and ambiguity leads to mystery. One of the cool things about our 'modern' way of thinking is the idea that we try to demistify everything and really understand how things work.

I think this should be the same with regards to learning how to communicate. Ideally that is: no mystery, only reliable knowledge that helps towards the goal of a better life for everyone.

And yes, that is asking for a lot and will take centuries, but I believe it's worth it.

It's sad to see this kind of Stockholm syndrome. The author is fighting hard against the Haskell compiler to fit a square peg in a round hole. Programming languages are just tools, not religions. Programming languages are fake abstractions of the machine. When one doesn't work for you, you should have no problem switching to another. Loyalty to literally an arbitrary man-made mental model at the expense of your real life productivity makes zero sense.

I think lately western governments (other than the obvious example) have figured out that it's a much better short term play to simply allow immigration to boost the economy rather than longer-than-their-term ideas like education.
Agree very much. I do attend a few non tech meetups, like movie meetups & hikes for eg. 2€ fee over the movie ticket rarely makes any sense. While proper tech style meetups may actually have organizer costs and such, a meetup where the whole point is meeting a bunch of people over a coffee or so with minimal organizational requirements doesn't make sense with the fee.
Unless you are trying to write `wc` without iterating the file 3 times, it seems.
Stuff like this can be abused indeed. Also worth noting that this kind of communication skills are part of most management trainings. I took some courses on coaching and selling your ideas ten years ago and this is exactly the kind of thing they teach. So in that sense, yes, this exactly the kind of tools that your average passive aggressive manager (aka. people manipulator) would use. But then, it's also a common trait for some of the best managers I've worked for to be good at this stuff.

A more productive way to think about it is in terms of leveling the playing field when dealing with people with such skills and understand what they are doing and why. Also it allows you to be more effective in day to day getting stuff done with other people; especially when you sometimes disagree with them. Finally, knowledge of this stuff can help when you realize you are being a dick. Also you now have the tools to be less of a dick by simply stating things in a different way.
The article starts directly with a warning that the title is a bit provocative.

The main point here is clearly not to sell the existing tool on the sole consideration of binary execution performances. As the article say, with Haskell you can produce more reliable software, thanks to a strong typing, and use higher abstraction levels. Even with a significant loss in performance, this can be a good trade off (depending on the project type of course).

So the point here is that you can have descent performance with a state of the art "high-level garbage-collected runtime-based language".

In fairness, throwing multiple cores at it would require a lot more boilerplate in C.

Whereas for single-core the C code would be simpler than the optimized single-core Haskell code presented here.
> Shouldn't I be accountable for my own actions

Ehhhhh. You make decisions and take actions inside contexts that other people create.

So, if you want to be absolute about it, you have to only consider the choices you as they differ from your alternatives. If you did not have (or, within epsilon, did not experience having) any other choices, are you accountable at all?

And, since all of this is super fuzzy anyway (YouTube presents you with a weighted choice, at which "exit" is near the bottom), you have do something like take the cross-product of each option with the modifications made to your capacity to choose that option and _then_ the difference between each of those and _then_ you can begin to say what someone is accountable for given their choices, but then that's not accounting for past traumas, and then you start getting into free will and "can you even make a choice anyway".

> instead of expecting a corporation with an ad-revenue business-model to do it for me?

....yes. Definitely. Because that corporation sure as shit won't, and it's not so much a question as that we each are responsible for ourselves as an observation, because mostly, other people aren't gonna do it.

You might be responsible for the outcome of your decisions, but it's not exactly reasonable for the rest of us to hold you completely accountable, because you're not wholly responsible for the options you decided between.

bullshit. Dialogue, personal preferred, but "digital" if not otherwise possible, is a way to actually fight ideology and undermine the ideologist and demagogues.

Sure, the twitters and facebooks with their shitty algorithms tuned for maximal addiction and thus indirectly maximal conflict are far from helpful, but that isn't a reason to stop the dialogue. That's a reason to force these corporations to not behave like drugdealers.

What's your approach to fighting ideology? Hiding it (aka censoring it, "deplatforming") doesn't work. Then you only disenfranchise people to a degree where they a least the already mentally unstable will be put in a mental position of "my life is over, I could as well go out with a bang".

The other alternative is to use force of some kind, like imprison people with the "wrong" ideas, "hit a nazi" or outright kill them... also known as fascism. Fighting fascism with fascism from the other direction does not seem to be a viable approach to me either.

Could be related to the stock development. My personal theory is that everyone who was hired around 2014 turned out to incredibly expensive, Amazon seemed to be surprised by the stock going about almost tenfold in the next 4 years. That alone made it really hard for that generation of hire to stick around, of the people I know who joined with me at that time I only know of two who were still there (out of a dozen) in early 2018. That ratio is a lot higher for those who joined before or after 2015. Not that I would complain so, including RSUs my last pay turned out to more almost three times what other companies in the same region pay.

Physiologically there's no difficulty in pushing your circadian around. Heck, various studies have shown that in isolation people's clocks will drift by an hour or more a week.

Culturally though, there is a preferred cycle, and it's some weighted average of the cycle of all the people you interact with. Moving from Chile to Peru and shifting your cycle 2hrs _to match the Peruvian clock_ isn't so bad, but if you shifted 2hrs the other way you'd find it a lot more painful. This is the problem with shifting school hours: not the hours themselves, but how they interact with everyone else's hours.

Finally, there is a privileged circadian, and it's the Sun's. Free, global lighting is just too good to pass up on.
Funnily enough myself and friends find LSD a great party drug when in low doses. 1/8th of a tab - you stay up longer, feel more energetic, slight barely noticeable buzz. 1/4th - fairly noticeable buzz, slight vividness of vision, excitement, silly laughing, no need for alcohol. Half tab - quite strong change in vividness of vision, many other changes, but still very controllable. But we rarely do that, while full tab or more is left for safe environments instead of partying.

Alcohol hangovers are not getting better with age and I don't enjoy weed at all. LSD in small doses is safe, controllable and, for myself, replaces alcohol. Get 10 tabs - test+try in advance and it will last for a long time when used like this.

But the article does call attention to a very important technique. It merits serious thought over all the ways it can be applied, that may not look much like this one, on the surface.
This is quite cool! Any PCB designer that needs a lot of power should just use this design and hopefully the world will eventually settle on using micro USB for low power and USB PD for up to 100W. I am currently thinking of making a device that has a PCB, and one of my key requirements is the use of micro USB (5V 500mA) precisely because designing power circuits and distributing DC adapters is a major cost.

It's also a red flag, so I'm not so sure...
Yes. But whenever I try to build a case, my mental model tells me that its not the right time. I think of all counter arguments (company revenue is down, my product is still in infancy,etc.), and I tend to postpone it. Why can't it be discussed as a process (e.g. regular review session likes hey, I see you are very close to be promoted to senior manager, let us discuss it in details the next meeting). I mean that my manager should be as aware of it, as I am.
It's fascinating to me that a company like Oracle that I only ever see ridiculed and despised for its products and business practices, is also so profitable. I hear so many tales of companies that decline and eventually become irrelevant when they start being run by MBAs with no product vision, but it seems that once a company reaches a certain size, it's just par for the course, and they seem to do fine anyway. Is it just inertia and brand value at that point?
When forming opinions on things like this, I think its important to see what happened in context.

This [1] is the entire, in context, video of the controversy in question. Unfortunately I've yet to find a complete translated transcript so I am left on relying on potentially unreliable online translations. From what I've read the casters say 'Go ahead and say those 8 words and we'll wrap up here. There's nothing else to talk about. Let's lower our heads.' He then screams 'Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our time.' Guess that's 8 words in [presumably?] Cantonese. This was done while wearing a gas mask. The tournament casters then laugh and clap.

This is actually the thing that most frustrates me about so many issues. How can people justify forming opinions on these things without seeing everything in context? Why isn't this entire video, alongside a professional translation, a part of every story on the topic? Of course providing in context video gets downvoted, because it makes the issues look less black and white. But that to me is the clearest example of idiocracy. We should not seek to create Hollywood villains and heroes in nuanced issues. We should consider these issues as they are, which invariably tend to be a million shades of gray as opposed to black and white.

The C code is not particularly optimized, but more importantly, C being a low level language makes writing multi-threaded programs much more work. wc though cannot make use of multi-threading regardless because it must have the ability to work on streams, not just seekable files, as the haskell code here does.
>So you're saying the point is to not hurt neo-nazi's feelings, because if you're nice to them, they wouldn't recruit so many people to their cause?

No, I did not say that. I said to treat them as human beings and not deliberately antagonize them with stupid insults. And to take the power of "victimhood" and "underdogness" from them, which they use, like all extremists, as a powerful recruiting tool. Al Quaida and IS do it, the nazis do it. Trump does it. Because it works.

That caveat makes it vey hard to find situations where NVC is valid, as it relies on the motivation of both parties. It’s not enough for the speaker to have the listener’s best interest at heart (as is presumably the case with a teacher speaking to a student); the attitude must be reciprocated as well.

This is the sort of escape clause that enables No True Scotsman-like defenses of the methodology: “You did everything by the book and didn’t get your desired result. It must be because he doesn’t actually care about you.”

> I don't see an inherent reason why the middle ground is correct when assessing blame.

Either one or the other party receives all the blame, or you are in the middle ground of spreading the blame around. One group is entirely responsible IFF the other entirely _not_ responsible. Anecdotally, it does not seem like either party bears zero responsibility, so neither party bears all responsibility, which seems to me to be a nearly-inherent reason why the middle ground is correct.

> I should use something to block certain sites. But just because I have that responsibility doesn't diminish someone else's culpability for inflicting harms.

Very well put!
Why? This is not a hard problem and there's nothing wrong with parallelism in C. I'd much rather work on parallelizing the C code than deal with any amount of Haskell. I suspect there are more people who would agree with me than the total amount of people happy to write Haskell.
