> The benefit of going to school for kids in the US at least is that you get to move a year closer to getting out.

> A cost is that if you don't go, you get held back (and get the according social stigma).

At least in California, this is no longer true. My daughter has been a year behind for 6 years straight now, and we've done everything short of suing the school to try and get them to hold her back a year, but they refuse to.
> Personally I've found the one reliable metric I have with which to evaluate decisions is: happiness.

It's very similar, but rather than optimizing for happiness, I prefer Terence McKenna's advice to optimize for beauty...

The Good , The True and The Beautiful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-J09gk0mJk

To me this seems superior in that it seems to be more all-encompassing, and can be more easily applied to others and the greater world, for me. But then happiness could very well do the same for you - I think it's the style of thinking (the means by which one evaluates options when choosing a course of action) involved that is the main point.

Not a number per se, but ideally the racial and gender ratios of the team would reflect the total population of the area (country? Metropolitan area?) in which the company resides, with the standard caveats that random sampling would give a range of different combinations. So that'd be, a multinomial distribution with the probabilities that each race is chosen set at the demographic percentage of the total population.

In other words, ideally the racial and gender distribution of a team would be as inconsequential and unbiased as blood type or handedness, in that the aggregate demographic ratios on your teams would at least match that of the residential population in your area, and ideally that of your broader geographic location.

I'm not doing a good job explaining this clearly, but the simple answer is: more than one. No one wants to be the token hire.
If you want to find out much more about the history of Crisco and its modern-day incarnation, here is an excellent and informative 10 min video about it:

You could always run VcXsrv to act as an X server.

Then you can launch GUI apps through your Hyper-V based VM (or any hypervisor).

It has seamless clipboard sharing that works out of the box once you enable the option.

I even went as far as running i3wm through VcXsrv for a while but ultimately gave that up since multi-monitor support didn't really work, but if you have 1 monitor it was actually quite usable.

This is a bit offtopic but I'm sure Boeing has their hands tied in some ways (as SpaceX) since a lot of positions require either a security clearance and/or are exclusive for Americans due to government rules (especially for military projects)
Unions still make sense today. Without them labor conditions would likely go down quickly. There is plenty wrong with unions but to dispel the need for them without giving careful thought to their good sides is throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
A low power mode would mostly be useful for laptops. When you turn it on you it would do things like disable power boost, basically starve background processes of cpu time, etc.

Restricted data mode would let you disable processes from accessing a network when on a metered or slow connection and inform other applications to be careful when they are using a network that you flagged as metered.

Workflow was initially a third party app and somewhat limited in its automation capability because of iOS restrictions. When Apple bought it, it integrated it more tightly with iOS and can now do things that third party apps can’t.

I'm not so sure about the "Making Billions" bit. They are going to have to either do a massive 11 figure write down or spread out their losses on the Max over the next 10+ years. Either one is a pretty bitter pill to swallow.

Sure, but like Igor says, they’re either distractions — or those other factors would make them look bad, because they’ve also been mishandling policy on those fronts. So we are getting these feeble talking points attempting to blame fire on the policies of the Greens party (who have never held office), a cancelled dam project (which would have been built just in time to lie empty in the worst drought in the area’s history), and ... no joke ... “self-combusting manure.”

It’s a sort of hapless denial / self-consistency thing they’ve trapped themselves in, to the point that the subject of climate change is taboo, and so is any adjustment to policy that would respond to it. It might not be in HN memory, but the guy who is currently PM came into the House cuddling a lump of coal not long ago.

The factors driving these fires are of course manifold, but the warming climate is making most of them worse. Fire seasons are longer, the seasons when it’s safe to conduct fuel reduction burns are shorter. Rainfall is scarcer, winds are stronger and hotter. We’ve just had the four hottest days on record in the last week.

But anything that might address those factors is climate-adjacent, and even risk-mitigation strategies can’t be discussed. The extremely permissive land clearing policies stay [1], the ruinous water management for the Murray-Darling river system that allows cotton farmers to pay peppercorn-rent for practically unlimited water while downstream towns run dry stays, firefighting resources are cut and / or left to volunteer crews.

It’s pretty outrageous to refuse to acknowlege the major driver of severe fire conditions and try to blame flaming horse shit instead. Or comical, I don’t know any more.

We have culturally evolved to care more about physical safety today; a good sign that our State worked by being held accountable to people. The stuff that is happening with Boeing is a total regression, and it will be interesting to see how regressions like this can be prevented in the future.
I have not used this package but there is another one for Go called freecache that offers a similar solution. The primary benefit of such solutions is that if you have a Go service where you want to rely on the local caching of data, using a package like this can significantly reduce GC scan pressure removing the work that Go needs to do when analyzing pointer data sitting on the heap.

Why does this help? Instead of keeping millions upon millions of items alive on the heap (leading to Go having to scan all such data) you can instead serialize/deserialize the data in a solution like this with usually minimal overhead. Storing your cached data in a solution like this suddenly gets rid of the need to have live pointers of data on the heap. This is because your data is now stored as []byte slice somewhere in the Cache data structure that this code uses. Finally, since packages like BigCache/Freecache are built with only a very small handful of heap objects the Go runtime performance can now go back to what it does best which is spending most of its time in your application logic.

If anyone has any doubts of this approach try it out...we saw dramatic differences with using a package like this vs a naive map of pointer based data or vs something like Hashicorps LRU datastructure.

The last service we applied this model changed CPU profile from running at around 900% to 400%. That was a big win in my book and practically cut our cluster size in half.
Good accountants know not only about the bottom line of the yearly budget, but also about how long-term risks work, too.

Having learned a few languages with different methodologies, I strongly disagree. The most effective introductory method I've encountered so far is Pimsleur, because of its focus on listening and speaking at the early stages.

I've seen too many students who learn using the traditional theory-heavy approach and who, after years of study, are like deer caught in the headlights when they're confronted with the actual spoken language. They're also often saddled with poor pronunciation forever (which really degrades native speakers' perception of your language proficiency, regardless of how fluent you are).

Some theory is helpful, particularly for languages with lots of grammar (i.e., Indo-European languages with case, gender, agreement, etc.), but like playing an instrument, learning a language is 90% practice.

I didn’t realize you had to be a paid Apple developer to implement their sign in. I agree it should be free if they want it to be used far and wide... but I suspect they have a hard time caring about the “edge case” of web-only apps that don’t already have an iOS developer account (versus their core target of iOS developers who have already sunk that cost).

A few things seem to run deep in Apple’s blood: (1) they don’t give away stuff for free, and (2) they don’t care much about / chase market share. There may be some exceptions here and there, but those seem to be the defaults, so I’m no longer surprised when Apple follows them even when it doesn’t seem like the best plan from my personal POV.

> Some people do get a sense of pride and fulfillment out of doing a good job.

But a good job for a CEO is building shareholder value, which is now understood as "[wringing] all the money out of the company that they can [for the shareholders]." That's a different job than building an organization that consistently chooses safety over schedule and cost.
As an aside, have any major apps implemented Sign in with Apple? I thought that was a requirement for newer apps but I haven't seen any.
If you put the data on the internet, and it’s accessible at a public address, it’s free. If you don’t want people (or robots) to access it, don’t make it public.

You might be interested in the case of LinkedIn vs HiQ [0], which is setting precedent for protecting scraping of public data.

Based on the fact that you “inserted special messages,” it sounds like the people scraping your site may have been republishing the data. That is a separate issue that in some cases can violate copyright. But in that case, it’s not the scraping of the data that is the problem, so much as it is republishing the data outside the bounds of fair use.

I am of the strong belief that if you make your data publicly available to users, you should expect bots to scrape it too. If your infrastructure is setup in a way that makes traffic from those bots expensive, that’s your problem. The solution is not to sue people or send them letters. You can mitigate it with infrastructure changes like aggressive caching, or you can charge for access for everyone, not just bots. IMO, it’s especially wrong if you allow google to scrape your data, but try to stop every other bot from doing the same.

You can't make an MVP of a cure for cancer.

You can't "crush code" and build a space elevator in a hackathon.

You can't hustle your way through a robot that collects, folds, and stores all your dirty laundry.

You can't build an O'Neill cylinder with a 2-year horizon of profitability.

Some problems are hard, expensive, and do not lead to fame or fortune in the short term. Startups are not structurally equipped to solve these problems, and perhaps public corporations aren't either. As it turns out, it is much easier to make money by solving (or inventing!) easy problems, and our culture currently views making money as a proxy for creating value for society. If you want a more exciting and ambitious future, we will all need to think further ahead than the next quarterly earnings report.
I just want to emphasize that wsltty is the only well-behaving terminal currently available for WSL. It's the only one that supports mouse interaction in a terminal like scrolling/resizing panes in tmux/vim, unlike any Microsoft solution.

Love the idea, but it’s a flare star, so make sure you plan for the occasional flare.

Maybe that means a backup heat engine in standby mode. Or if you can predict the flare, temporarily migrate out to a further orbit.

It is both.

The transactor design ensures serialization level isolation for writes- but semantically writes are considered "creating facts" and the time at which they are written is the time at which they are "known" and one can ask questions about the state of the world- the collection of facts- that were known as of a particular time. And of course time is also a data type, so one can time based questions on multiple levels.

The model is deeply general- facts are assertions that "this attribute of this entity had this value at this time." One neat capability is that you can "go back in time" and simulate applying transactions that did not occur, supporting counterfactual and hypothetical analytics, and various kinds of testing scenarios.

Attempting to carry through the implications of that model at the application level in SQL is very hard.
Yes, but China benefits in several ways that temper this positive take.

1. by owning the (often insane) debt from the programs

2. by getting a lot of Chinese jobs in the country

3. by gaining influence over the country (at the expense of Western influence, if you see this as a competition.

Another problem here, although it’s not a benefit to China, is that the quality of infrastructure built by China is often terrible, making the cost and debt even more problematic.

Now, having said all that, the US isn’t necessarily doing much better. And the poor quality Chinese roads (just as an example) are still infinitely better than the competing local-built roads.

I didn't imply it wasn't did I? I was just pushing the cached version for those curious like me about the app itself and how popular it was (knowing first hand is better than he said she said).

Correct me if I'm wrong but I've been struggling to really nail down my development process of linux software on Windows, and based on my readings, a lot of articles state that applications perform far better on traditional hypervisors like VMWare and VirtualBox than WSL.

I mean it may be great that the WSL terminal feels good, but if my program takes 2-5x slower in WSL for testing, I'm still going to opt for a hypervisor.
Agreed.

Others have mentioned that the article calls out ignoring traditional in-memory cache daemons because of the additional network time, but with a targeted p50 response time (of their HTTP service fronting all of this), and caches like Redis and memcached being able to respond in hundreds of microseconds... it does feel like they didn't actually run the numbers.

The other natural alternative would simply be to run Redis/memcached and colocate this HTTP service on the same box. Now your "network latency" component is almost entirely negligible, and you've deferred the work of managing memory to applications _designed_ around doing so.
My experience was similar, and I too enjoyed school.

Over time, I feel my experience was an outlier.
Which is ironic given they chose a board member to be the new CEO. It's not new leadership, he was part of the original leadership team as a member of the board.
We're talking about incentives. Sky-high executive compensation packages don't encourage people to do a better job — they insulate them from failure, thereby disincentivizing them and encouraging them to go down the path of short-termism.
Hard, but not impossible.
No, it's not simple, and it's not easy. Doing the right thing when it involves immediate cost and disruption takes courage.

I'm sure in 1982, the Johnson & Johnson CEO was also "being fed a diet of wrong and horrible information from lower executives keen on deflecting blame so that they could keep their jobs".

That's how big organizations work.

But in 1982, J&J leadership could see beyond that, cut through the noise, push back on short-sighted recommendations, and do the right thing for the company in the long term.

My question is why we rarely see "enlightened self-interest" like this today.

From Boeing to Facebook, Wells Fargo to Uber, it's hard to think of companies that do the right thing in difficult situations, even when that would be in the company's own long-term best interest.

Sorry, not convinced that the earth has been uninhabitable for humans in the past few hundred million years. What conditions made it uninhabitable everywhere on the planet?

Earlier posters made it seem like the problem with climate change was that earth was moving out of a narrow temperature band that supported human life. We live in the arctic, jungles, deserts, ice ages, mountaintops. We will be fine. The problem is the transition’s impact on our existing civilization (sea level change, new weather patterns), not the final temperature.

Let me put it this way: if we discovered earth 100 years in the future, even with our current climate change rate, we would rejoice about how easily it could be colonized (vs Mars, the moon, etc).

The climate will get hotter, and it’ll still be quite livable in places. This is the equivalent of people who think earth is in the “just right” orbit, if it were 10 feet off in either direction the planet would freeze or burn. And yet the elliptical orbit of the earth around the sun varies by millions of miles, and we don’t light on fire when climbing a ladder. We don’t die because someone left the AC 5 degrees too hot or cold.
