I've been really interested to watch what Holacracy actually does (sans AI) in healthy, agile companies. A lot of the management overhead gets cut (while keeping functional management of the company, though a lot of it becomes process rather than people), and a lot of the projected issues are just things someone can propose a solution for and get it enacted via Holacracy governance.

Springest is a really interesting example. Very anti-bullshit culture, rigid focus on OKRs and efficiency, and yet they're extremely light-hearted and lack the political crap most similarly high-performing companies have.

Maybe AI makes it better in the long run, but I'm a believer already.

Possibly. Another possibility is that no one wanted to be the one to fire a man with terminal cancer who presumably depended upon the health insurance provided by the company.

The number above is probably pretty close, but there's a misconception that WebKit is only a tiny fraction of Safari: it's not. Most of the manpower and work goes into it; Safari is just chrome around it (albeit chrome that does take a reasonable amount of work to make…just not as much as it does to support JavaScript and WebAssembly VMs, page styling, rendering, WebGL and WebGPU, networking, tracking prevention, and maintaining support for the the ever-growing list of web standards WebKit supports and participating in discussions on shaping them). Safari is just one of the clients of WebKit.

Some of the deplaners hold up the next flight they need to board. Airlines could optimize that.
I been working full time now about 15 years and I think Martin Fowler's blog and especially articles like this do more harm than good.

Typically I find Pair Programming pretty pointless for most tasks. Where it works is when one developer knows the code base and another knows about the new piece they are trying to implement e.g. something external they are interfacing with.

Much like other subjects on Martin Fowlers blog, it will get picked up by some which will religiously adhere to it and not consider where it will be best suited.
I agree! The airlines would do better to offer free checking for one bag and charge a fee for carry-on (and not oversell carry-on space). Then they could shave off a minimum of 5 minutes for boarding, and maybe much more (10 minutes? 15?). Saving 10 minutes in boarding time may mean one more flight/day for some routes.

I knew Gerv, he was a convert to Christianity and as usual for converts to any religion, he was intense and fervent in his belief that he had discovered the ultimate truth. Unfortunately that can lead people to embracing the old testament bigotry more than the new testament forgiveness. Gerv wasn't a bad person, but Mitchell wasn't inaccurate in her post. Yes, Gerv was a great thing for Mozilla, but his legacy is not as clear.
It's funny this news just came out.

In my part of Brooklyn, loud low flying helicopters from Blade and Uber have been a complete nuisance all through the holidays. People have been taking them from south Manhattan to JFK.

They're not supposed to fly lower than 1000 feet but I can read the numbers on the bottom these things so clearly they're flying lower than that to save fuel, maybe around 500 feet.

> getting on/off with my family is not optional for me

If you’re getting off with your family you should just wait for everyone else to exit first anyway unless you have a connecting flight with no time margin or something. Families are super slow to deboard planes.

If your kids are young, you should probably be allowed to board first before other travelers.

A column by column rule wouldn’t apply to you either way.

>Functional code tends to be shorter than procedural code

Shorter is one metric that FP "tends" to be better at. But it's not definitive. Who says procedural programs can't be shorter? And also is shorter necessarily better? Also does it come at the cost of readability? Actually let's not get into readability as it's not exactly measure-able.

>Haskell's type system keeps track of what's going on and alerts you when you try to do something that doesn't make sense.

Algebraic Type systems are indeed a measure-able metric when you measure correctness, amount of errors or total possible programs you can write. It restricts the code you can compile to be correct from a typed perspective. Meaning that out of all the possible programs you can write, Haskell allows you to write less programs in the sense that it stops you from writing certain incorrect programs.

However, ADT's can be used in procedural programs or OOP programs as well. See Rust.

What I want to know is specifically about the functional programs. In the functional programming paradigm what is the quantify-able metric that makes it definitively better?

The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race [pdf]
On the first day of our last trip taking my grandmother back to her home village outside of Kyoto, some of her luggage was left behind on the train, and while Lost and Found managed to pull it off at a later stop, it had gotten a pretty far distance from where we were heading.

I navigated to the small station on the lower platform where the attendants held her luggage and gave them her name. The younger one asked where my grandmother was and then gave me a regretful look when I said she was disabled and wouldn't be able to travel this far, because they could only release the bag to its owner.

An older attendant pulled him aside then stepped up and asked me what my name was. "I'm her grandson, Washadjeffmad. I reported the missing luggage.", I explained and held out my passport. Without looking at it, he sighed and stepped off again. When he reappeared, he asked me again where she was, and I told him- on her way to Kyoto. He closed his eyes, said something I didn't catch, and then asked "Are you sure she's not here?" Clearly she wasn't. It'd been a decade, but was my Japanese really so bad?

Another man emerged from the back to observe his two obviously frustrated coworkers, then pulled them back to talk. When they reappeared this time, the older man asked, "Are you Washadjeffmad's grandmother?" And it finally clicked.

"Yes. That's me."

And they immediately handed over my bag.

Japan is a funny place.
>And you've reported this, I assume?

This is a total non-response. They're not actually under an obligation to report a bug and use their time - Mozilla, however, is obliged to make their browser work properly, and to ensure the team that's working on it is properly staffed/resourced/competent.

Your response is downplaying someone's actual concern by acting like it's wrong that they don't spend their spare time participating in open source software development.

Furthermore, this "browser monoculture" argument is ridiculous. WebKit and Blink are both open source, and Mozilla is increasingly becoming what Opera was back with Presto: a lone engine with quirks that nobody wants to waste their time working around.

If Mozilla gave up Gecko tomorrow and forked WebKit (a la what Blink is) I don't think I'd bat an eye. This is like what junior programmers wind up learning at some point - nobody cares what the code looks like, just that it does what it's expected to.

I say this all as someone who's contributed to some Mozilla repos, has a massive personal investment in Rust (and has read a good chunk of Servo, and liked it), and has been a fan since the Mozilla Suite days.

It depends what the threat model is. My understanding of Electron apps is that the binary part of the app (Chromium, node, whatever are the parts of the Electron that present the app to the user) is not changing all that often, while web app bits can be updated by simply downloading new version from the publisher's site (correct me if I'm off base here). If this is the case, then the threat here would be the attacker MITM'ing communications between the user and publisher's site and serving malicious payload to the user. Electron validating the signature before serving downloaded bits would mitigate the threat even without OS support (remember - Electron haven't changed, only web app bits have).

Note that I'm saying "Electron validating the signature" - not web app doing that, which I assume what you meant by "hand-rolling".
the thought of pair programming nearly gives me an anxiety attack. the second it’s mentioned in the interview process, it’s an automatic no from me. what other industry or domain does this? none that i know of.

first of all, working in pairs creates a problem when there’s disagreement. you need a group of three to five to find agreement in those cases. working in pairs also requires a very tight alignment of style in programming, thinking, speed, brainstorming, etc. it simply does not allow for moments of thoughtful rumination or experimentation. it’s just like having pairs in school. it never works unless the two people are copies of each other or both people have spent time doing and thinking about the task themselves independently beforehand.

i think working in pairs or small groups for design, review (or a post-review discussion), and especially debugging works quite well. it also works well when there’s a new person being ramped up or someone in the pair who is particularly knowledgeable about a portion of the interfacing code or sticky points. but two people sitting at a computer implementing? that only works for a very, very short amount of time, if at all.

i refuse to work for any place that forces this upon workers. it creates just another selection bias in interviews. engineers already look for people just like them, and this just adds to that bias.

and the articles for the benefits does nothing to say what pair programming does to actually enable the benefits listed. all of the benefits can be accomplished by shared design plus individual design, shared review, shared debugging, and individual implementation.
I've had people cancel meetings with me in San Francisco 'because it was raining'. To be fair the roads here do become significantly more stressful then, but whenever it happens it feels ridiculous. My theory is that whatever the worst 1-2% of weather days per year becomes a weather excuse anywhere in the world. In the Phillipines it had to be bad typhoon, not just a normal one. In London it was moderate snowfall (that wouldn't cause a dent in switzerland for instance).

Are you folks planning on extending this to speech? I'm always been disappointed by how speech vocoder networks aren't built with any great inductive biases for waveform generation (besides very long receptive fields), and have desperately wanted something like this tuned for speech. It'd be great if a DSP-based architecture could be shown to outperform WaveNet / Parallel WaveNet / WaveRNN / WaveFlow / etc, and I'd love to use that in our own work. (There's been some attempts based on source-filter models like the "neural source filter (NSF) network", but nothing's caught on as best as I can tell.)
Also it is very likely tugs will be deploeyd in the future to drag dead satellites back to a space station for reprocessing.

Mass does not grow on trees in the empty void of space, so reusing those is s no brainer. And the bit of noble gas your solar electric tug is gling to use up for that is negligable compared to all the effort spent to drag it all out of abgravity well or get the raw materials all they was from an asteroid, not to mention all the elaborate processing needed.
Umbrellas are super cheap and readily available when you need one though.
PHP is rarely considered "old school." It's considered bad. And not without reason given its history of hostility to its own developers and the sysadmins who have to manage it.

I think pretty much everyone has acknowledged that it's improved. Where opinions differ is in how much it has improved and whether that's enough to entertain its use (my answers to which are "not enough" and "not even if you paid me", respectively).
There's actually examples of this in the world now. In São Paulo, the rich take helicopters between buildings [1].

As much as I poured into Mozilla and the community, I have always been critical of how political it has always been. It inherited a lot of that from the end of Netscape.
The people with the money for these have the political power to force others to deal with the noise. Already, helicopters have remarkably few restrictions. If you can afford one, you can fly it almost anywhere you want.
Part of this, imo, has to do with the architecture and it will really depend on the city (speaking from a US perspective) you're in. If you're in Philadelphia or an older city on the East Coast some of the old Catholic or Episcopalian Churches/Cathedrals do feel like they're integrated into the community because they were built around the same time as the rest of the buildings and housing. In the midwest this trend kind of wanes, as many of the Catholic Churches were built after Vatican II and ... don't have the same kind of aesthetic, to put it mildly, and weren't necessarily built the same time other housing was built. By the time you get to the West Coast you'll start finding examples again that feel like they belong there, like Spanish Missions. So it's mostly age and the timeframe in which everything was built.

All that said, I've greatly enjoyed my trips to Japan and feel the same way about their Shrines.
So, basically just need to find someone with a lot of extra money and convince them of an impending crisis. Sounds easy.

A nice element of carbon taxes is that, if desired by voters, can be revenue-neutral and substitute other tax revenues. This helps encourage your economy to grow in ways that avoid environmental externalities.

Canada has recently implemented one federally and it has a lot of pushback in regions where a larger portion of their economy has historically come from bitumen tar sands. Other regions with different economies are more receptive to it.
In Japan blue skies is the norm though. No clouds most of the time.

I remember reading a blog post ca. 2005, before SSDs were common, in which the author explained how he had identified all the files his system needed to boot and the order in which they were read from disk, and then contrived to put them all in the correct order in a contiguous block at the start of the drive to eliminate seeks during boot entirely. This apparently shaved a couple seconds off his boot time.
> Startups likely can not compete with google

Then why didn’t google found/outcompete the laundry list of unicorns that have emerged over the last decade plus? Google could outspend them all by 10x. Google is very, very good at what it does, but like all big organizations Google has blind spots you could hide a tour bus in.

Sparta had 9 slaves for every citizen -- the U.S.S.R. too had very few elites who lived in luxury while everyone else toiled. For the Helots, Spartan society was quite egalitarian... Athens had slaves, but not remotely the same magnitude -- the U.S. had slaves for a few decades. Sparta utterly depended on slaves, but Athens depended on trade. The Peloponnesian war had cold periods, and the U.S. might still turn red -- we've not necessarily seen the end of that struggle.

No, the parallels between Sparta/Athens and U.S.S.R./U.S. are a bit uncanny. Yes, there's a limit to how good a comparison can be across 2,300+ years, but it's not useless.

I can provide at least two reasons this repo will benefit people even if they do not wish to use our website.

For one, job seekers will benefit by knowing which companies are hiring, so applicants can try their luck at disintermediating us and taking their chances directly on the company websites. We'd argue that applicants will have more success through the direct relationship we've cultivated, but the option exists in the current incarnation.

Second, this repository will hopefully evolve into a very useful resource as job hunting evolves. If this happens, our codebase could become a great template and readily forked to create additional job resources, even competing ones, since we are releasing this under the MIT license.

That said, of course I'd love it if even more people use https://rezscore.com/ -- our team are building incredible tools to improve the job search process.
And memory use. And speed (at least by most public benchmarks).
At my first job I mandatorily pair programmed with someone every day for months and we had very different personalities. Neither he nor I wanted to and the result was we wore on each other, decorum broke down and the code itself was weaker because we would take turns ignoring the situation to get what few moments of peace we could in the day. We both left that company around our 1-year mark even though otherwise it wasn't bad got out at 5pm every day, catered lunch sometimes etc. I understand it is useful in certain situations but that largely turned me off from it as a concept and I still doubt the benefits when used "properly".

Pair programming is a very intense experience and had it stopped a few weeks in that situation then maybe my thoughts on it would be different.
Still today. Audi users grab a VAGCOM and enable new features that where disabled by the dealer. Fords disable several cosmetic features based on initial programming that can be overwritten with a change of a single hex value. Etc etc

Once I rented an Audi Q5 from Avis, fancy with leather seats and the touchscreen stereo and all that jazz... but the Nav didn’t work. I didn’t pay for the Nav addon, but the car comes standard with Nav. Looked for the Sd card, and it was there. I figured I’d spend some time after the client to figure out why... well before I even left, while I was putting my bags in the trunk I noticed a panel missing and a cable dangling. I plugged the cable back in, suddenly the car chimes and Nav appears on the stereo.

Don’t underestimate the lack of knowledge by people and the wolves who prey on them.
Pairing destroys deep focus. It's an impediment for hardcore coders. Maybe it appeals to extroverts with short attention spans who prefer to socialize rather than do their jobs.
I would say that if you see a possibility of recognition 2-3 levels up then you should be the leader that they need. You mentioned "large" so this may be the unlikely option.

However, if you see a chance of leveling up your career faster than in a job you love (but slower advancement), then you should "take over" and put the "owner hat" on -- what decision would the owner (or the board or the shareholders) of this company do and do that. Even if you are 10% better than the next person, that should be evident to the people around you and if this will be visible to people that matter.

You are getting PAID to do a job so you can complain about the job not being right for YOU but a "professional" makes sure that you are doing the job to benefit the company first. Even if it is not with your current position, this attitude and outlook will reward you eventually.

Good luck!
