I think such issues (give developers features) are something that would require a centralized response. This in turn creates liability and the issues of large platforms; they are tweaked by an incredibly small % of users who develop the feature, who can't fully foresee the unintended consequences of any large action. Then the results are mostly expressed by another % of loud/angry/extreme users, amplified by the media and then the centralized developers have to answer.

In the article, the author mentions 'your policy is what you enforce'. But that's really overly simplistic. There's a gradient, with extreme moderation on one end and no moderation on the other (even those in favor of no moderation will generally agree that nuclear launch sites and codes should be moderated off).

And then there's how and where you implement systems to identify cases which require moderation and what systems you put in place to avoid abuse and what incentives you are creating. And all this probably changes with time as people try different things to game systems. Our government(s), economies, etc are getting more and more centralized, controlled by fewer and fewer hands. This skews incentives and positions of leverage, look at what's happened with youtube content creators as a tiny example, but it's way beyond that.

By making it decentralized, Jack's basically appealing to the wisdom of crows. I think the article is missing the long of it. Yes, there will be forks, but eventually consensus appears in the community. I feel his comparison to Mastadon is unfair, since it was new and looking for a niche. Twitter is such a big name, everyone will want to have input on such a decentralized system, so there should be strong input from all sides as they are represented, at least within the tech sphere (which is pretty large and diverse when you leave SV/CA).

Our current development climate is allowing something as dramatic of a change as P2P protocols in the early 2000s. P2P has mostly disappeared in favor of streaming services, at least in the first world. But it was the P2P that allowed the creation of big streaming services. Without that pressure, I have serious doubts the current IP holders would have allowed Netflix or Hulu to be.

Jack's level of vision is reaching way beyond mine, but I think he is on to something, and the payoff can be truly disruptive, not just to business which is a bit boring, but to how things can work.

Dont remember the exact video, but Bill Herd mentioned many times about on site last minute fab fixes involving prodding the product on a hunch of where the problem might be.

Chromium should really serve as a counterexample of what you're using it for. Unless you are prepared to fork it and maintain the fork yourself, it pretty much is under the control of Google. It's also likely Google will continue to drive it in a direction undesirable for everyone else.
Probably they resent you. What feels like a good solution is discussing this in the retrospective or have an informal discussion about this. Then again, team members need to be open to discussing this and viewing it from another angle.

Also, by discussing the issue you might discover others feel the same way and are open to changing the process.

i. I heard Thom Hartmann mention "societies usually last only 250 years or 10 generations, on average" [0]. This would put the epicenter of US'es collapse at roughly 2026 if it were to go that way. Here's another article on previous one [1].

ii. America: The Farewell Tour by Chris Hedges (2018, book)

iii. Why Sexual Morality May be Far More Important than You Ever Thought (2019)

https://www.kirkdurston.com/blog/unwin

increased sexual freedom always led to the collapse of a culture three generations later [~75 years]. This would mean 2035 ± 5 would be the estimated date that the US would crumble.

iv. Many, many mass shootings - a desperate act of omnicide and suicide don't happen in an ascending civilization

v. Vulture capitalism's billionaires, massive wealth transfers, privatizing public commons and selling them off, coupled with a regulatory and political capture of the seat of power and useless mass media leads nowhere good.

I think many people MUST step forward, shake off the propaganda and their false beliefs, and demand a reorganization of the status quo before chaos takes over. We need people to first quit pretending that there is no problem and break through their Upton Sinclair-cognitive dissonance against actually doing something.

I just finished reading the book 'Gifts of the Crow' by Marzluff & Angell, which is a popularization of current research into Corvid intelligence, consisting of anecdotes, experiments, and neuroscience.

Academics do, in fact, study recreation & play, language & song, and expressions of emotion like grief. They are considered indicators of some kind of intelligence worth studying. The book even devotes a chapter to each of those topics!

The US used “stealth” helicopters in Vietnam nicknamed the quiet one

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stealth_helicopter

It allowed them to send covert missions into north Vietnam, ironically it was initially developed for commercial civilian purposes as a quiet helicopter can be used for helicopter taxis and inner city travel more easily.

The US having stealth versions of the Blackhawk has been rumored since the 90’s it was less about if they can make them but if there’s an actual budgetary justification for them.

For the bin laden raid they used what essentially was scrapped prototypes and one of them crashed on landing during the raid.

RAM, low signature composites and acoustic improvements are hardly technologies that can described as which will drastically change the aerospace field.
This was a great read. The first part reminded me of "On Trusting Trust" but obviously it's just one part of the narrative. This and I, Rowboat are probably one of the few sci-fi pieces I've ever read that didn't feel overly abstract or vague. I hope hard "computer science fiction" like this will become a genre of its own in the future.

FYI if you didn't catch it, the car was from 2002. This isn't about the same AI driving we usually see here.
It sounds weird, even with after-market remote starters you usually have to either cut a cable (or similar) to explicitly tell the unit that it's an automatic car or go through a procedure in manual transmission mode that's designed to prevent remote start while in gear (a usual one is the remote start turning the car off when the door is closed to ensure it's in neutral and only allowing remote start from that state).

Can you share an example of an answer that would discourage you from working somewhere? Just the interviewer's reluctance to answer or giving a superficial answer?

I have asked interviewers the opposite: what aspects of the team or company need improvement and what steps are being taken to address them? Of course they will sugarcoat their answer, but you can still glean some insight into the company culture for addressing problems.

(Sure, it's great for lunning Linux, Quake or Alexa in the browser…)

But I'll try not ending up sounding facetious. From a code quality and ease of use POV, Blazor might be better, haven't done too much to argue that. And even rebranding the same technology after a few year's of both Moore's law and lessened expectations by users/developers is often a big difference from a marketing standpoint. And that does count, as it increases the community, which is where a lot of projects fail.
I think larger the population, larger the hyperconnection less interesting/impactful is individual intelligence and creativity. What will overshadow individuals is what the group intelligence/creativity produces.

...some bigger learning projects require more time or different rhythms from what can be made available through siphoning off time, which seems to be what most people in this thread are saying they're doing.

For example, if you're doing daily standups, then one hour of an 8-hour workday is doable. But if you want to learn something that requires from time to time that you concentrate deeply for a longer period of time, say 4 hours, then that's half a workday, which may well show on daily standups.

If you have a manager who has a tendency to show up at your desk unannounced and they glimpse you watching a video, they probably won't say anything or ask what you were watching, but may walk away having mentally applied a discount factor to what they think your rate of productivity might be.

Also, while siphoning-off may work well in a good culture of consistent non-rushed problem solving, it may not work so well in a culture where it's constantly management by crisis. Like tomorrow may be the deadline for delivering something in the context of a crisis. The crisis may be entirely made up, but you would still end up looking really bad if you didn't deliver. Then you're probably not going to spend an hour learning that day if you know there's a risk you will have to stay at the office for an hour longer as a result.
Shh, don't spoil it :)

I’m always confused when someone parks my car and I find they parked it in first rather than neutral plus the handbrake (High gradients excepted, where both should be used regardless of preference). People that learn it one way will never do it the other.

(Also, yes, the 2002 IS300 was available in stick.)
I am offended. I am part crow.
You mean "Things end users care about but can't afford"?
There is another option, using a `Task`.

Using child specifications one can pass the function to be executed in the `Task` alongside:

children = [
Child1,
Child2,
{Task, &MyModule.run_on_start/0}
]

# ...

Effectively does the same as using the `handle_continue` of a `GenServer` but in a more clear, straight forward manner.

If users want that, they tend to be enterprise customers, and you can charge money for your software. That's good for the programmer :-)

Users who want AD integration also want (generalizing a bit, of course):

* Audit logs

* Metrics export to common BI tools

* APIs

* Separate billing address

* Role-based access control

* a way to sync data between different environments

... and so on. It's amazing how much work you as a programmer could spend "enterprisifying" a simple application.

I kinda wish for better tooling to make enterprise-ready applications, so that many of these things are less effort.

It’s like, the frogs are boiling, but they’re too busy burnishing their case with evidence that the water is indeed boiling, instead of jumping out.

In the UK where stick is normal, we’re taught to park in gear + handbrake.

The handbrake can start slipping when the brakes cool and the car could roll, so both are necessary, especially on a hill.
I have been taught to park cars in first gear and pull the handbrake as well. And along the same line to always check that the car is in neutral before starting it.

Maybe it is not current anymore, but I have always been instilled a certain distrust of handbrakes. :)
At the end of the day it's not much of a tax loophole. The same total amount of money ends up getting taxed, it's just that shareholders can decide whether they want to opt-in to realizing their capital gains. Some choose to sell back fewer shares (frequently none) and some choose to sell back more shares (especially stock-receiving employees, who may feel a need to diversify). Hardly something to get upset about.

I often wonder what actually motivates people at bootcamps. If someone is having trouble with JS and wants to quit, saying they are demotivated, what has changed? I think the most obvious thing is that their perception of how easy it will be has changed. If that's the case, why does that make them want to quit?

I guess I'm leading the question ;-) These days I see a lot of people who want to come into the industry because they see it as a way to get a prestigious job, in a glamourous industry, with flexible work schedule, high pay, comfortable surroundings, etc, etc. What they don't want to do is to sit in a chair all day with blinky flourescent lights, puzzling over arcane and mundane trivia. But while we have the former, we also have the latter. Bootcamps play up that first bit and play down the second.

Programming is a great job if you love programming. It's a horrible job if you don't. This is the advice I would give anyone thinking of becoming a programmer.
I know someone who works at one of the London airports and is responsible for keeping the runway operational. One of the jobs is keeping the birds well clear, and if necessary, sadly, may resort to shooting.

The crows know the score though. This acquiantance says the crows know to disappear if they see the bird clearers. What's "clever" is that they only take flight if it's one of the shooters. They recognise the veichle(s) despite them being all the same fleet. So if someone else is driving round to check something else, the birds completely ignore. If it's the "bird guy" then off they go with little encouragement.
I'd like to know how much it would cost to build such homes at scale. They didn't reveal how much it cost, which means it's probably too much at small quantities so far.

I read this story and found it interesting to notice how the author seemed not to have any perspective other than his own.
He seemed to regard himself as central to the company, when in reality he was just one of many employees, who had been hired to do a job.
Those hiring him seemed to be interested in the sale of the company and securing their own positions, which they appear to have managed well, by running a sham department, that they could present as being a success.
Extra safety + in winter handbrake can freeze stuck
i prefer to leave it in gear rather than hand brake (unless on grade) to avoid the handbrake becoming less effective over time as the cable stretches.

this happened in my 2005 mazda 3 and the habit carried over to my 2017 Golf (not sure if the brake design is similar or not, maybe it's not necessary on the vw)
Several bystanders managed to push the car backwards, police said, but "in the course of doing so, the vehicle rolled forward once again and pinned the pedestrian between the two vehicles once more."

...and with even more force, since the car now had a bit more distance to build up some speed. One wonders whether he would've survived if they had left him there, and it was the second blow that killed him, since the fact that they were able to push it back suggests it was probably an automatic left in neutral with nothing more than the idle torque. If it was a manual, stopping it or pushing it backwards would've already stalled the engine. I suppose another lesson here is that if you ever have to push a car out of the way, chock the wheels afterwards, or otherwise try to prevent it from moving again.

I'm also surprised that was enough to kill.

Also chiming in from Denmark, thats how you park a stick. Engine off, set it in 1st gear, and pull the handbrake.
Any other metric is speculative at best.
