What if we pulled all the belief systems out of public schools. Including the non-traditional religion ones held by by some scientists that are not observable.

Is this about belief systems, traditional religions, or something else? I ask merely to try to get to the core issue.

Agree that enforcing meeting discipline is key. Banning meetings altogether seems like a crazy idea. We are social creatures after all, and often a 5 minute conversation can save 10 or more emails or 30 "chat minutes".

Amazon has a very interesting approach to meetings that I'm curious if anyone has first hand experience with, or other thoughts. For those that aren't aware - Jeff Bezos famously banned PowerPoint, and has people prepare a (max 6 page I believe) written memo for every meeting. Then there's time at the beginning of the meeting carved out for reading the memo - after which people will start talking.

I can imagine that this does a few things - it creates a barrier to actually scheduling meetings - so people don't do it as often. And, it ensures participants can have meaningful, detailed conversations.

Honestly something like a Linux Kernel compilation would be the most straightforward, static and consistent method to test it out. Just have a basic environment without overhead (like Alpine Linux) with GCC or LLVM/Clang sitting on a USB key, use GNU time to measure the execution of your command, redirect to a log file and you're done.

Yep, this is planned and in-progress. You can now prepare patchsets on the web for submission via email (check out the video near the top of TA), and code review threads are parsed and shown on the web as well (see the screenshot under the video). The plan is to keep improving this so that you can perform code reviews on the web, which become emails under the covers, which will make for a decentralized, email-based code review system which you can interact with on the web in a fashion similar to GitHub or GitLab PRs/MRs.
It's therapy for the worst kinds of people. For productive people, meetings are horrible; akin to sitting there and watching a bunch of monkeys howling and banging on their chests to maximize the amount of bananas that they're going to get at the end of the month.

I live in a city with big, annual summer hail stones. Many dealerships have built canopies and it seems to be working.

I also have friends in the auto industry and the interesting thing is they said hail isn't the worst thing, they actually profit quite a bit. Basically insurance will appraise the new value of each car and write a cheque (ex. $10k for each car). The dealership can still sell the car as "hail damaged" and offer the buyer a $5k discount. Buyer thinks they are getting a great deal, the car just has some dimples, but $5k is $5k right. The deal then makes an additional $5k off the car. However this breaks down if hail insurance premiums are going up.

Sure, still, 20 years on. Not dogmatically so to reach some coverage goal, but anything with real logic, yes. I don't test-drive React components, for example (instead the goal is to get all real logic out of them).

Benefits--not pushing logic defects gives me more time to invest in other important stuff; I end up with tests that document all the intended behaviors of the stuff I'm working on (saves gobs of time otherwise blown trying to understand what code does so I can change it safely); I'm able to give a lot of attention to ensuring the design stays clean. Plus, it's enjoyable most of the time.

You wrote "You are not a customer, hence you aren't really in any position to demand anything. "

So don't go around now claiming straw man arguments. Clearly, and you seem to agree, you do have rights, and whether or not that particular right is yours remains to be seen. I can see several ways in which it just might be so that you have that right based on your expectations of performance and that a near-monopolist like Google is walking on very brittle eggs the day they start using their position to perform unsanctioned experiments on the population at large, especially when those experiments can't be opted out of.
I'll second this. I had a Brother for years. I ran out of toner once (I did a lot of printing) and I think the second time I donated it or gave it to a friend.

I think the only pain point was the toner was almost as expensive as the original printer + toner. Go figure.

But they're good, reliable machines for sure. And affordable.

Wouldnt due dates solve some of this problem? Either "we arent going to talk about this again as a group for 48h", or "you have one week to prepare for us to revisit this."

It still allows you to multitask and be in multiple meetings at once, without allowing people to start initiatives before people are prepared. Not perfect, but sounds like a step forward in a no-meeting culture.
Agreed but it also applies to standups. I think if you just want ambient awareness, have people post their daily "what I did/will do" to Slack. No need to derail every single day for half an hour or more.
That sounds like a super interesting learning experience. What were the justifications for no meetings at all, out of interest?

Edit: Bleh, I misunderstood; just discouragement of meetings. It'd still be interesting to hear the reasoning (especially if it deterred people from holding meetings in favour of Slack)

A low volume of meetings, ideally visible to all staff on company calendars, with well-documented titles & purposes before the meeting, and transcripts/recordings for later reference afterwards (especially to handle any especially controversial decisions or discussions) is what I'd consider a 'gold standard'.

There's still the potential for people to try to back-channel discussions via in-person meetings and various other means, but at least it makes transparency the default, and allows questioning the paper trail.

Also: none of this should necessarily detract from the fact that, for some people, they may psychologically benefit from what we are discussing as 'pointless meetings' and airing their voice / asserting their status.

If that's genuinely helping those people, I think there's a place for it (even if it might not be what a purpose-driven engineer or mission-driven entrepreneur might want to see at their organization).

I could have misinterpreted him, but I do not believe the intent was to dismiss the extroverts but rather to point out the lack of balance in that approach. I have observed this as well, as the "lets have a meeting" approach gathers one type of useful feedback, while the one-on-one (or even written) approach gathers different types of feedback.
I had this idea. I had a new car in 2014 and I had to park it outdoors for awhile while I was working on a different car in my garage. Anyhow, I didn't want hail damage so I put a car cover over the car, then piled a bunch of cardboard on top, and then threw another car cover over that. It worked until it got really wet, then I had a ton of soggy cardboard to deal with. But it worked as far as protecting the car from hail goes.

I was musing at the time why someone on Amazon wasn't selling some kind of hail protection padded car cover.

I have tons of great ideas, but I never connect on them. Then I watch other people make a fortune off that same idea. Shrug...
That's a really cool hack, I wonder if it would work on 82077AA or compatibles? I might give that a try later this month after I resurrect my A500

Presumably it should be possible to create a simple drive emulator to spit out that sector/track header without needing an actual disk. Not sure if I'm smart enough to tackle that but it's worth a try!

I'm already working on a 6502 System at the moment that has an 82077AA compatible FDC and can read PC Formatted floppies so it should be relatively easy for me to tool around with this hack.

Same, but I'm on my first toner cartridge after 3 years or so. My biggest complaint is that it only supports Wireless-G, so I have to keep a separate network for it so it doesn't slow everything else down. I'm running cable to solve that problem instead of buying another printer just to fix a stupid WiFi issue.
I see a test as a declaration of intended outcome. By writing a test to expect an intentional failure (say you have a bug in a divide: “int -> int -> Maybe int” function that causes it to return 0 when you divide by 0 instead of “None”) you are declaring that is actually intentional behavior. So I would never write a test like this - I think I would prefer committing the fix and the new test at once. I don’t see the value in reviewing them separately, because they are related and dependent changes.

Obviously if you view tests differently (eg. as a declaration of current behavior rather than intended behavior) then my argument dies.

I think a thicker padded car cover would be better, something akin to grill covers with a half inch padded lining. You can have them color coded for the type of vehicle. Grey for sedan, black for pickup truck, dark blue for minivan/hatchbacks. When a storm is coming they can just roll them out in a shopping cart and throw them on car by car. You can start a day or two before, covering about 80% of the cars (the ones that are less popular) so you can still be open and selling, and then the day of/before you cover the rest.
I'm a bit confused. It seems that we're all looking for the answer that can hold "true". That's fine, however, does 5 answer _this question_? From my understanding, the question itself is impredicative[1].

Being self-referential makes it difficult to decide what correct in that context means. Does the question even allow for a no-answer/inconclusive result?

They have a very space constrained layout especially for inventory display, as their dealership is at the junction of some odd angled non grid streets (namely Speer).

What advantages would this have?
I’ve heard, “public risk, private profits”.

That ends up including things like utilities, but also most of the US automotive industry, banks, etc. (It also requires the listener to have an understanding of expected value, and other basic statistics.)

“socialized losses, private profits” seems to include any government spending that benefits society, such as public ownership and funding of roads, but private shipping companies (and all the industries that rely on them) profiting from their existence.
We should rather be fighting for competitive alternatives and looking more at if/where Google uses it's market dominance to stymie competition. That would be a more fruitful discussion IMHO.
There are other power usage concerns beyond cost. For example, if a small room can't have air conditioning you might want only very low power devices to keep from heating it up.
"astronomical cost of this on the tax-payer" is absurd. Who's having costs go up significantly as a result of free internet service being provided? You already have to pay for internet from a private provider, if you replace that with government-operated internet your internet is funded by taxes - but the government can tax corporations instead of individuals to avoid raising direct costs for any individual taxpayer, which they're doing!

Yes they’re great for low volume printing and the Linux support is great too.

Newer models track the number of printed pages and nag to replace the toner. You can instead reset the page counter and continue printing. Exact steps vary by model but easily found online.

Context is crucial when reading this quote now rather than the 1950s. JVN said this before a nuclear war would have been 'world ending'.

Consider that several nations had avoided war as hard as possible prior to WW2. Standing by as entire countries we absorbed by a hostile power. In the end it only resulted in much greater destruction. Many people like JVN saw the same theme playing out with the iron curtain, and the destructiveness of the weapons only increasing over time.

The thought process was:

"We need to have a destructive war now to avoid having an earth shattering war later."

There had just been two world spanning wars in their lifetime. They considered a third inevitable. If it was going to happen at some point, better that it occurs before world ending arsenals were constructed.
Wait, you're actually putting that forward as a good day? That boggles my mind...if you come in at 9, get settled, you have maybe 45 minutes to work. Then, until 14-15, you have NO one hour stretch, then you have just one more stretch from 16-17...when do you actually code?? Don't you need a couple hours of focused time?
Currently if you don't go crazy with meta-programming, it is possible to have C++ applications still compile faster than rustc is capable of.

- Use incremental compilation and linking (yes I know lld support is kind of working on nightly)

- Start adopting C++ modules

Maybe you can help me understand this.

Since you don't write as many tests, that means you're not actually testing all your code branches because tests incur technical debt after all.
So does this mean you test every single branch manually? just don't bother with it at all?
Do you just have a few integration tests and they break and you spend a good chunk of time figuring out which logical branch broke?

What happens if you make a typo, comment out a piece of code and forget to uncomment , etc?

I'd love to write less tests but don't know how to do it?
The thing is that that doesn't really match the calling syntax, it matches the syntactic sugar for the calling syntax. Whenever you do

thing_instance.foo(bar, baz)

you're secretly calling

Thing.foo(thing_instance, bar, baz)

Which succinctly explains where the self argument comes from.
And they're often faster, which is useful even if it's used rarely. We bought our laser printer because of the shelf life thing, and then we needed to do a ton of immigration stuff and the fast printing was nice. I wouldn't buy a printer just because of speed, but it was a nice value add.

We got ours at Costco for <$200 IIRC (base model monochrome Brother with WiFi), and it has worked well and we're still on the toner it came with. That's about the cost of an ink printer with one or two cartridge refills, so I feel like it's already paid for itself.
