I would not recommend trying to interview as a manager for any large tech company without having first been a manager in another role. I would also not recommend doing this for small startups, but some may be willing to hire you into such a role without you being able to point to concrete experience in the role (the filters aren't as strong).

I say this because that is personally a cardinal rule of mine, and I've never heard anyone contradict it -- hiring a manager comes with inherent risk, and you significantly add to that risk by hiring someone that hasn't done it before. If you want to try out management, you should first get a job as an individual contributor somewhere and then move into a management job in that company. They will know a lot more about you from having worked with you and you will know a lot more about the team, the company, etc and have a much higher chance of being successful.

This is really a two-way street, you are much more likely to be successful this way as well. The interview process is simply too artificial to get a good read on how someone will do as a manager when they don't have previous experience.

Australian here. Reckon our local news source might have better context when dealing with NSW police: https://www.smh.com.au/national/teenager-among-180-people-fa...

> This fire season, police have taken legal action - ranging from cautions to charges - against 180 people including 24 people charged over deliberately lit bushfires, 53 who allegedly failed to comply with a total fire ban and 47 who allegedly discarded a lit cigarette or match.

These are all separate charges. The 47 people who discarded lit ciggies likely got cautioned or fined, the 24 who lit fires are going to end up in gaol.

There are currently 131 fires burning in NSW alone, according to the RFS[0]. Not all of them were caused by arson, many of them are caused by lightning strikes and other natural causes. The reason this year is so bad is because of the drought that has increased the amount of fuel and hampered our ability to backburn, and cuts to funding in firefighting services.

> The price of domains should trend down.

Their value doesn't, so why should renewals go down?* It's not like registration is related to anything like cost of operation...

*: I'm not in favour of this, but living in a capitalist market, I'm surprised things haven't gotten much worse, e.g. a sliding scale cost for domains, so Amazon would have to pay $50,000,000/year for its domain, for example.

Oh, that’s VERY interesting. I never thought about ‘hearing’ the vacuum in the intake.
>> But what's the difference between a government setting the rules and a corporation deciding the rules? We can vote out a government, but we can't vote out a corporation.

> You as an individual can stop using a corporation's products way more easily than you as an individual can vote out a government. My personal success with voting out governments is zero, but my success in boycotting corporations is pretty high.

That presumes your main interaction with a corporation is by the consumption of its products as a customer. However, that's so often not the case that it might as well be assumed to be false. For instance, you can't boycott Equifax or an industrial chemicals factory that's polluting the air in your city because you're not their customer, but you're still affected by their decisions and rules.

The main difference between a government and a corporation setting the rules is that, in democracies, the government is theoretically accountable to the interests of all citizens while the corporation is only accountable to the interests of its shareholders and (depending on market conditions) its customers.
Back then, smaller nation-states wanting to do nuclear device simulation and the like would be my guess. Basically, countries that were restricted in some manner on gaining large amounts of parallel processing compute power for such simulations.
I think something like this should have remained within government. Deregulation here wasn’t necessary.

It’s small but has outsized impact on how the internet works.

That said maybe devolution was eventually inevitable.
> This is not biased in any way

Of course we're biased, but every row in that table corresponds to a section below where we lay out our argument for the few words up in the table at the top.

Here's the direct link for that particular point:

https://fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/trunk/www/fossil-v-git.wik...

Now, if you want to debate section 2.2 on its merits, we can get into that.

> you can’t claim something to be “efficient” when it’s doing many different things

We can when all of that is in a single binary that's 4.4 MiB, as mine here is.

A Git installation is much larger, particularly if you count its external dependencies, yet it does less. That's what we mean when we say Git is "inefficient."

But I don't really want to re-hash the argument here. We laid it out for you already, past the point where you stopped reading.

> git being installed via a package manager instead of dragging and dropping a binary. Yeah, this is such a huge problem that concerns people, better switch to Better Project (tm).

It is on Windows, where they had to package 44-ish megs of stuff in order to get Git to run there.

On POSIX platforms, the package manager isn't much help when you want to run your DVCS server in a chroot or jail. The more dependencies there are, the more you have to manually package up yourself.

If your answer to that is "just" install a Docker container or whatever, you're kind of missing the original point. `/home/repo/bin/fossil` chroots itself and is self-contained within that container. (Modulo a few minor platform details like /dev/null and /dev/urandom.)

> This page needs to be rewritten to simply list the differences in neutral language.

We accept patches, and we have an active discussion forum. Propose alternate language, and we'll consider it.

> unnecessary epithets like “caused untold grief for git users”

You don't have to go searching very hard to find those stories of woe. They're so common XKCD has satirized them. We think the characterizations are justified, but again, if you think they're an over-reach, propose alternate language.

> I don’t want something that tries to do many different things all at once.

Not a GitHub user, then?
Time for geeks everywhere to practice their de-soldering skills.
> I'd say it's not unreasonable to commit to a party and re-evaluate that commitment every decade

But that's a rational attitude and not what I was describing initially.

A lot of people commit to a party for all their voting life which generally is quite a few decades. Sometimes this even goes for generations.
We should have been doing this all along
Out of curiosity, how do compilation times look, for a fresh build and for the edit-compile cycle?
But again, it's the "intelligence" part that's the misnomer. Except for John Carmack, no one's trying to invent general intelligence. Every single bit of work is merely automating tasks that when performed by humans requires intelligence... except that too is a misnomer because as humans we literally can't do anything, no matter how mundane, without it "requiring intelligence".
> "What barriers to entry do you foresee coming out of a union?"

Making game development more expensive, obviously, since ending the current abusive practices is going to cost the publishers and development studios more money plus the overhead imposed by the union itself. Unions may have their benefits but it's undeniable that there's a cost there.
>This would defeat an adversary "paranoid" enough to check a key signature, but not paranoid enough to obtain a clear explaination/confirmation of why the key changed...

Thereby turning the signal intelligence problem into a human intelligence problem.

Though firefighters starting fires for something to do does happen (I went to high school with a guy busted for exactly that; he was not the type that I was shocked to hear the news), you are going way out on a Limb of Supposition there.

And as sibling points out, there’s no monetary motive, they’re volunteers for the most part. (Then again, so was my high school buddy). And the paid ones, just like the paid crew down the street from my house, get paid the same if they’re fighting fires or playing Call of Duty at the station house.

Append-only logs replicated to multiple places is probably illegal under the GDPR. People have the right to demand all data about them is deleted, e.g. once they are no longer Travelex customers.

An interesting question is would you rather your bank leaked some personal information about you, or would you rather they lost all your information, and therefore all of your money?
The best time to start a union is exactly when you're in hot demand and well compensated. That's when you have the most leverage.
that's an interesting thing. Other than perception, could it be a social strata thing? Kids who's parents are better off get a healthier diet (or, in poor places, just more food). This affects how they grow
I don't believe that, from the journalist* "Travelex has not responded to our multiple requests for response to these allegations. Not answering calls/ texts voicemails for the last couple of hours."

The ESP8266 doesn't have hardware PWM, and only a single ADC channel, both which can make it unfit for a lot of tasks.

That said, it does come with a lot of SRAM and the wifi/bt connectivity is obviously great.
What I'm trying to do is prompt HeyLaughingBoy to provide useful context to their comment. Is this new Arduino really like the difference between an average car and a luxury car? Does it really make no difference which one you pick except for the money you're willing to spend?

No one needs an S-Class, it's merely a nice-to-have. Is that the same statement that no one needs this new Arduino? That they should only buy it if they have extra money to spend and want a luxury item?
Not OP, but I can tell you how it was working out on my previous team within a big 4 tech co. For the context, the whole team consisted of a mix of a few people in their 20s (1 being almost 30, 2 being straight out of college in their early 20s), 2 in their 30s, manager in their 40s, 1 more person in their 40s, and 1 person in their 50s. Almost like a paper perfect age diversity bingo card.

What i found was that age had absolutely nothing to do with anything when it came to my workplace. There were more differences between some teammates in their 20s than between them and the teammates over 40. Older teammates were not slower or learning less things or anything like that.

The only major workplace difference i have noticed between younger and older people was that they were better at estimating their schedules/delivery timelines, as well as them being able to spot certain things that younger ones havent spotted yet, i guess due to their experience with certain problems and being able to see those repeating patterns. A bit more patience and being a bit better at explaining things in bajillion different ways until one of them clicks for you; i would say social skills and ability to navigate the workplace in general were a bit higher. But that was definitely not universal for every older person, just simply talking about averages within the groups of older people i got a chance to work with.

However, i bet it had a lot to do with the kind of people we hired, and if you look at the industry averages of older people vs younger people (when it comes to being up to date on the tech stack, research, learning new things, etc), the picture painted would be vastly different.

The video game industry seems like a prime candidate for a union.

But otherwise I agree. Based on my experience a union is just another layer of bureaucracy that ends up defining your job, career path, and etc without you getting to decide. They're just as full of mixed motivations as any employer.
YMMV, but in my non-FAANG experience in the mid-/south- eastern US, tech managers seem to make at least 1.25X for X=senior dev salary. Maybe keep that in mind?

My dev friends over the last 10+ years have included people who made a management/dev track career decision and anecdotally speaking, those who chose management have earned more and seemed to have more employment stability. In a couple of cases, I have friends in my personal network earning 3X a senior dev salary managing dev teams.

Personally, I decided to stick with the dev track and have been somewhat dismayed to find (after 10+years with one employer) that I am often pulled into decision/management-type situations but am consistently evaluated as a lower-level employee because "coder." It's even more annoying when I chat with my peer group who made the mgmt track choice and I find that the overlap between what I do and they do is actually very large.
Honestly I'm surprised more people aren't burnt out on this. I can only be angry and get triggered by the same bullshit for so long before it just doesn't work.
Yet there are still people that can't seem to separate the two.
Ha, that's effectively my take-home from 40 hours a week. Sure wish doing that was easy.
Verizon already has a contract with CWA -- maybe Oath and Verizon Media folks should give them a call.

Behaviors are either learned or they can be learned.

So either he reacts to failure in a way he's been taught to or you can teach him to react to failure in new ways.

By spanking him when he cries, the only thing he'll really learn is that failure carries with it punishment. He'll start getting really good at hiding failure and unwilling to try things for fear of failure.

What you need to do is to teach him how to respond to failure. Part of this is by example. First, analyze how you respond to failure. How those around your son respond to failure. Do you complain, make a deal of it, treat it like something significant? Stop that.

Acknowledge the failure. Say that it was hard and that you couldn't do it. Then move on. Make light of it. Something other than dwelling on it. Get him focused on problem solving rather than dwelling. Ok, I failed. What went wrong? What can I do instead? Is it worth doing instead?

And don't acknowledge the crying. Don't give in to it. Ignore it. Don't respond to it. No threats, no withholding, no bargaining. Nothing. Act like he's not crying. Be calm, be rational, be steady. He will eventually respond in kind and respond to failure as you do.
My concern is most of the tech union type initiatives in the US are from ... existing US unions.

These orgnizations are NOT the places to start.
I worked in the video game industry for several years.

Being "in the red" over dues wouldn't be on by top-100 list of things to care about.

The regularly use worker hostile behavior - Two famous examples are eternal crunch times and laying off entire teams after shipping a game, even after luring them from other companies with promises they wouldn't.

Eventually, I left that industry entirely, which was unfortunate.
I loved what I was making, but I hated what they could get away with doing to the workers.

It reminded me of Hollywood - So many young actors wanted the job, they knew they could mistreat them, and regularly did.

A union would be excellent here.

IMO this just feels wrong. If you're knowingly going into an industry with a bad rap where developers say they feel exploited then don't go into it. The studio has already given them a job, going into it and then complaining and demanding change seems a bit selfish, no?

I could understand if things were at one point great, and then some series of events lead to a worse situation with no options leaving. But I can't understand having options and choosing the bad one and then complaining about it being bad.

Does someone have a different viewpoint that could help?
PGP was designed without message authentication. The people who designed PGP had a lack of understanding of cryptography, full stop. To an extent that is because PGP is a 1990s design, and very few people had a thorough understanding at the time. But to a significant extent it is also because the PGP engineering community consisted largely of stubborn amateurs attempting to (re-)derive cryptographic science from first principles. An appeal to the healthy paranoia of PGP is not a persuasive argument.
very interesting article, and intriguing conclusion towards the end, make me feel like knowing more

> You don’t need to specify where every synapse is to get the machine to work right. You just need to specify roughly the numbers of different cell types, their relative positions, the other types of neurons they tend to connect to, etc. The job of building the brain is accomplished statistically, and, crucially, probabilistically. This is why there is lots of variation in brain structure and function even between monozygotic twins and why intrinsic developmental variation is such a crucial (and overlooked) source of differences in people’s psychology and behaviour (the subject of my book Innate).
My personal favorite part of this release is the enhanced diffing in assertions! Now if a pattern match assertion fails in a unit test ExUnit will pretty print the both items in the comparing and color highlight the differences!

ExUnit is a pleasure to work with and one of the best unit testing frameworks I've ever used.
I find the fact that Wikipedia deletes content to be almost offensive, especially when there are so many 'stubs' and other one-paragraph articles all over the site. It's supposed to be a free encyclopedia that catalogs the world's information.

If there is a serious issue with an article, then fine, quarantine it or somehow set it aside. But to remove a well-written, well-cited and interesting article for dubious reasons really seems unnecessary. Maybe if they had incorporated it into the regular article on GiTS, it would make sense. But there is zero mention of the philosophical content:
