Design|Talk freely at anytime and anywhere without bothering anyone
Nowadays, earphones empower us the freedom to listen, but what we still need is the freedom to say. So we come up with the concept——Belowvol, a revolutionary product to create your private sound zone.

It also has a multi-person collaboration property which allows people to share the sound within their group, like a mobile meeting room. We want to make it a portable device to breach the existing physical barrier for sound dampening and improve the communication efficiency for everyone.

The overall description of our target users is those who lack an isolated place to speak or discuss freely or want speaking privacy at the most times in their daily life.

We're now collecting users' feedback, if you are interested, please visit our website at beffectiv.tech/ for more information.

'If you are a good leader,

Who talks little,

They will say,

When your work is done,

And your aim fulfilled,

“We did it ourselves.”'

- Lao Tse, quoted in 'Becoming a Technical Leader'

I heartily second 'Becoming a Technical Leader.' The exercises there are designed to get you to think about and grow in the situation that you are currently in, so the book will be a perennial.

I'd add that Weinberg also produced a four-volume series, 'Quality Software Management', where he sums up all he learned about project management in his programming, management and consulting careers. He later republished the material in a series of smaller eBooks [0] at LeanPub.

I know of no better written resources for people who want to learn to manage software development in a way that accomplishes the technical tasks while respecting the people who do the work.

I run Developer to Manager (https://devtomanager.com), where we interview tech leaders and ask them for advice they have for someone new to this field.

I'm of course biased, but I do feel it's turning out to be a good resource. Feedback is always welcome!

Hurting people is precisely the point of all of this alarmism. The goal is not to solve the "climate crisis", but to subvert the guilt of the people for self-serving needs of the few that stand to gain for society taking up measures deemed by them to "solve" the crisis.
I'm not sure I see this. They certainly are awful authoritarians and imperialists, but I haven't actually seen the ethnostate facism, or not in excess of what is in the Americas for example.

I would say most westerners would be better off not fixing their alliances to any imperialist machine, Russian, Chineese, or American. Even the EU is suspect, but its moderating influence against the worst possible facism still seems to be worth the costs and is worth reforming.
Yeah. Well, maybe. It might be a slight exaggeration but IRC is ludicrously simple. It's just sending text strings back and forth on a TCP socket. You can literally use telnet as an IRC client.

So all countries individual tax laws interacting with each other is completely "bug free"? Seems very unlikely. Maybe if there was a single global law for taxation, but even then it would have to be perfectly designed.

A much more likely scenario is that not all outcomes can be accounted for, and for those willing to pick through the laws there is money to be made by finding the loophole.

When one is found the politics of changing the law to fix it come into play of course.
Zero corporate tax would lead to a lot of avoidance and drops in government revenue. Say you are a consultant earning 100k a year who owns a house. You could just pay the 100k to your company and borrow against the house for living costs and pay zero tax for the time being.

Flow state can be a trap.

You can accomplish a lot of task checkboxes that are irrelevant. This is exactly what the article talks about. You must ask questions on whether what you're doing has any value - ultimately for you or someone/something you value.
And while in flow state you cannot ask such questions as they're not directly related to what you're doing.

Company values are at least a few degrees removed from this ultimate value.

If you spend all the time in the flow state, you're likely are achieving nothing for your own goals, because you're not setting any. (Or worse, the goals are not thought out.)

Flow is the same as hyperfocus physically, and overdoing will ultimately harm you physically, if not psychologically or socially first.
It's also related to meditation. Like meditation it is not always beneficial, especially in excess.

If this author has some other definition of flow, be careful, there might be a tautology or "no true Scotsman" involved.
Yes, exactly. Amtrak is already an option that gets you between city centers, and it's fairly quick and cheap between nearby coastal cities. It's not "high-speed", but passenger trains do exist in the US, and any proposed high-speed rail project will have to compete with them. "We get you there an hour quicker, but still slightly slower than an airplane" is not necessarily a hugely appealing differentiator which would justify charging much more.
So interesting that a few years after Rust introduced the optional chaining operator, it's been filtered through the lens of many major languages out there.

I think Rust was the first to do it (if you don't count Haskell's more general do-notation). Can anyone confirm that?

I think one of the subtle benefits to using well-known libraries is that they've already discovered and handled edge cases.

Per most of the reading I've done on "Why software development time planning is so difficult", the problem lies with bounding uncertainty.

We're pretty good at estimating business as usual, but much less so at producing a number when "there are 3 items, each of which has a ~10% chance of adding 10x happy path time" holds. Or even identifying it might hold!

That someone has already found a way to thread the minefield, or dealt with any unavoidable mines, is valuable.
You're making assumptions that aren't necessarily true. For instance, I'll avoid play in order to enjoy some idleness. I've figured out why I think; because I don't want to lose track of time, then have to go to work. The same reason I can sleep fine before my day off, but not before a work day.

I don't even think I hate my job that much. I'm not really even working crazy hours; yet it still seems like there's no free time, and I don't want the little time available to fly by.
"Manager tools" and "career tools" podcasts have been eye-openers for me about corporate relationships and management politics.

The initial comment was using a colloquialism. It wasn’t discussing specific outcomes or treatments for which precise terminology would have been necessary. The correction was pure pedantry.

The documentation is outdated. That is no longer true, intermediateDecode is cheap. Thanks for noticing, I'll fix it.
The government is like a PSU though. Except it achieves nowhere near efficiency of even 80 Bronze. A large percentage of taxes just evaporate as "waste heat".

Politicians always just want to raise taxes instead of raising their tax efficiency rating.
It's 5 hours later, so the data may be different but the largest red blob I see right now is in the region of the Gulf Coast near Corpus Christi. Since it's showing PM 2.5 readings, I suppose it could be a strong offshore wind picking up dust/sand from the long barrier island there.

I work for a 10,000+ person public company that just outsourced critical business functions via a 5 year contract that doesn't have any meaningfully enforceable description of the work to be done.

If you're trying to talk about hiring for full time employment as opposed to contract work... what happens there is as long as people are able to get through whatever idiosyncratic hazing process was involved in hiring, they're going to be at the company for at least a year. It's perceived as hard / risky to fire people, even if they can't program their way out of a wet paper bag.

This stuff happens all the time, it's not that different from evaluation and use of third party code. "This project has 500 stars on github, it must be good." "This guy used to work for Google, he must be good." Now you're stuck.

> First foo or bar can be function pointers. Or maybe log_event is a macro whose behavior depends on the environment.

Then different uses of the same identifier still resolve to the same implementation, and make the IDE jump to the same location, etc.

(I acknowledge that everything can be something else. And in theory you can redefine macros to have uses of the same identifier resolve to different implementations. Etc, etc. I'm sure you know about the IOCCC. But here we talk about good programming practice. It's a good practice not to suggest something complicated while the reality is simple. There's no argument to win here.)

> Finally if we move away from C semantics, maybe log_event is overloaded or is doing multiple dispatch, thus the two calls, depending on the argument types, are not going to land on the same implementation.

Which is why I do not use C++, or at least avoid most of its features. For me, it's all about clarity and reducing number of moving parts. It's not a contest in making complicated things that pretend to be simple. And it's not a contest in making simple things that look complicated. And it's not a contest in reducing the number of characters in individual identifiers at all costs.
Also don't forget the Nokia Communicator Series, the 9000, 9110, 9210 series - you could even send and receive faxes :D
> In my last column, I pointed out that there is no scientific basis for claims that climate change will be apocalyptic

If the author means literally everyone dead, planet gone, then obviously it won't be "apocalyptic", but the science is suggesting it's likely to be really bad. It seems pretty unreasonable to say "not apocalyptic? oh then that's not so bad, what's all the fuss about" when the situation is this dire. We could avert a lot of it if we actually did anything about it.
"Some southern states even have prisons on the grounds of former slave plantations."

To increase the horror of this- some southern states have prisons on the grounds of former slave planations, whose majority black prison population works the field of said plantations for less than a dollar an hour.

"in North America, people will just toss their trash on the ground if there isn't a garbage can available, but if there is a bin around they will make use of it."

Better than in the UK, where many people toss their rubbish on the ground if there isn't a bin available. If there is a bin available, they still toss it on the ground.

Your silence can only be held against you if it occurs after you've had the opportunity to consult a solicitor.

So the advice holds. Don't say anything unless your solicitor tells you to do so.
Lock-free data structures tend to use the compare-and-swap atomic operation as a primitive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compare-and-swap

You provide three values to a CAS operation: the memory address you want to change, the value you expect to be there and the new value you want to be there. If the expected value is not what is at that memory address, the CAS fails; presumably, the expected value is not there because another thread's CAS succeeded before you. You now need to do try again (and maybe do some more work before doing so).

You can see this in Section 3.3, "The insert operation": https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.02852

I think this answers your question: algorithms for data structures like this one use primitives like CAS to ensure that the data structure remains valid even when multiple threads are modifying it, and all without mutual exclusion mechanisms likes locks and mutexes.
I use wee-slack with weechat, works great. It is definitely a better experience than when I was using the irc gateway.
> There's also this ridiculously persistent anti electric vehicle

I'm all for working toward better air quality, and electric vehicles definitely reduce greenhouse (and other) gas emissions. At the same time, pollution from cars is not just from exhaust emissions due to combustion. I recall reading somewhere that 80% or more of particulate matter pollution from cars comes from tires and brakes. So the notion of replacing all combustion engine cars with electric cars will somehow solve the pollution issue is not realistic. The Tesla Cybertruck might be a great vehicle, but it's heavy (large tires and lots of break wear). We need better solutions.
The 'double-taxed' argument is so lame. Money circulates in a system and gets taxed basically infinitely. Worker gets paid and pays income taxes and retirement taxes. Worker spends their pay, and has to pay sales taxes. Business gets revenue from that purchase, and has to pays taxes. Business gives it to employee as salary. Taxes. Employee spends it. Taxes. Taxes. Taxes. There is no such thing as 'double-taxation'.

It boggles my mind that people try to defend tax evasion by insisting that a dollar can only be taxed once... and then never again as it is used?

When managing people in tech, I think it is equally as important to know how to organize as it is to know how to lead. I would recommend "The Phoenix Project" and "The Unicorn Project" and "The Goal" to all tech managers.

No matter how good your communication/leadership skills are, your team will be severely handicapped if they are working in an inefficient/limiting environment.

Coming at the same lessons from a different perspective, I have also found "Turn The Ship Around!" to be a very good resource.

What Every Body is Saying: An Ex-FBI Agent's Guide to Speed-Reading People [1]

This book has allowed me to understand what the people around me are saying, without even saying a word!

"Read this book and send your nonverbal intelligence soaring. Joe Navarro, a former FBI counterintelligence officer and a recognized expert on nonverbal behavior, explains how to "speed-read" people: decode sentiments and behaviors, avoid hidden pitfalls, and look for deceptive behaviors. You'll also learn how your body language can influence what your boss, family, friends, and strangers think of you."

I highly recommend reading David Wallace-Wells' "The Uninhabitable Earth" - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41552709-the-uninhabitab...

The book is quite information dense, intellectually honest with regard to the likelihood of various outcomes, and offers the clearest and broadest assessment I've yet read of where we are and what lies for us in the future.

Describing the contemporary climate discourse as "alarmist" denies the severity and scale of the problem we face.
Some call the concept "Bernstein Chaining": http://www.catb.org/%7Eesr/writings/taoup/html/ch06s06.html
In both approaches the police investigate potential crimes, collect evidence, talk to witnesses, attempt to figure out who did it and why, they may prosecute the accused, and if convicted the person is punished, often with fines, imprisonment, and/or community service.

We can disagree as to whether this is an adversarial approach, but the approaches are essentially the same. I think the US's view of the process is more accurate, but that's the issue.

The incentives of the police, the numbers they may or may not have to meet, and their accuracy at finding the "right" person, are all beside the point when you're in a room with a officer that seems to be making a case. That's an adversarial situation; someone's future is in jeopardy and it very well might be yours.
So the article mentions "that one study found people preferred giving themselves electric shocks rather than have nothing to do" which sounded like an interesting study. The link provided was to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20548057 , and after searching I found this https://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/christopher.hsee/vita/Paper... which strangely doesn't mention electric shocks at all.

It's crazy that "Nazi" China is engaging in an ethnic genocide right now, with massive concentration camps, death camps, mass graves, mass rape, mass sterilizations, mass re-education camps, and you would say "China is not the bad guys"

Really goes to show that Europe aren't "good guys" either. A European who could look at despotic China and their Uighur Holocaust and say "not bad guys" is not a good person themselves.

Lest we also forget that Russia is openly engaging in non-stop assassinations on European soil, caring so little for their soverignity that they announce to the world their power by murdering folks in the streets.

The false equivalence here is very sad. "Sure, Russia murders citizens in the streets and China literally has a Holocaust going, but America spies on people (just like us and with our help but shhh)!"
The best definition of what's a good leader is found in the book "the captain class" : https://www.amazon.com/Captain-Class-Hidden-Behind-Greatest/...

What's interesting is that the author have a data oriented strategy to find a good definition of a leader: he processed a lot of data to find which teams had really exceptionnal success IN THE HISTORY OF ALL SPORTS.

When he found the 8 teams with the most exceptionnal success, he looked for what they share. He found that all of those exceptionnal team success coincide with the arrival and departure of a captain.

Then he looked for shared trait between all those captain. What he found is the best definition of a leader.
That's not exactly just a horrific coincidence; the prison labor system was adopted as a direct continuation of slavery in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, exploiting the explicit exception for penal slavery in the 13th Amendment.
