Right! It's just... the internet isn't exactly in beta anymore. You'd think there's a timestamp type value that just tells you the date of an article or forum post that's linked. But no, we have to run a sophisticated algorithm to search for it on the page – and fail.

Honestly, my second theory is that google knows exactly when a given reddit article was posted but doesn't trust the user to judge the relevancy of that information. Which might even be reasonable in many, many cases. But it's also annoying. I'm definitely seeing a trend towards "editorializing" search results on Google, where often the first half of the page isn't even websites anymore but some random info box and whatnot, and your search terms are interpreted very liberally, even when in quotes. It's one of those things that is probably better for 99% of users/uses but super annoying when you actually want precise results.

The common data structures in pure languages are slightly different than what you would find in a stateful language, so you do need to take care to make it so only via what data structures you choose to use. Additionally, the author does say they use Control.ST, which depending how you look at it is either a pure wrapper over stateful operations or stateful looking syntax implemented with technically pure semantics. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/...

Dirty Havana Trilogy by Pedro Juan Gutierrez - About the hardships of making ends meet in Cuba.
I’m curious about which type of products you have been working on and what type of product decisions the engineers you have been working with have done. Because your experience is the opposite of mine. Engineers who understand anything to business and product management are extremely rare. And people who are good at it and genuinely interested in it usually move to this role (or create their company!). Also, as described in this article (interesting read btw), a lot of PMs are actually just projects managers instead of being product managers. They plan small features here and there, add tasks to the sprints and attend daily stand ups. This is not what you want from a PM. You want a PM who has a vision for the product and a very good understanding of the market, the clients and the users (can be different persons in b2b), and the competition (like the founders in the first phase of a startup, who eventually need PMs to do this part of the job. This is also well described in the article). Finding good PMs is hard tho, there is no specific degrees or whiteboard exercises to differentiate the good ones from the bad ones. It’s all about experience and finding someone who already did the job correctly somewhere else.

It really depends on the situation, but in project management the list of conflict resolution goes like this (not in order):

Force, withdraw, smooth, compromise, and collaborate.

I don't like this model, I prefer the power, mediation, rules and needs model because it is more action oriented especially for people who aren't managers. If you think there should be one of them that doesn't exist (for example a rule) propose it up the chain, then use said rule to resolve the conflict. Sometimes maneuvers like this take time, for example if you want to use power but don't have it, it can take time to get enough to use it the way you want (and you need to think hard about if it is worth the potential fallout).

Generally use empathy and discussion to use needs first, rules second, mediation next, and power as a last resort. That's my approach at least.

Look, when management have no commitment to the insitution and are simply inflating their bonuses they will bully and sack anyone in their way. Everyone knows this, so they shut up and play along for the sake of their healthcare and mortgages.

There are three mitigations. First hamstring HR and Finance to prevent them from being used to bully operations and engineering into submission. Second, reduce management compensation in the short term and enhance it in the long term. Third, ensure that there is tenure and protection for junior employees.

Why are these remedies not used widely? Because there's looting to be done my friends, looting to be done. Investors are extremely short term now and do not care about what happens in five years, management are at it and workers have become used to this all. It's normalised behaviour now.

When will this change? I would say it's extremely unlikely to change without punative political intervention and regulation. There is a much stronger case for this than there is for a UBI...

A Brief Tour of Logic and Optimization
The reason people are excited about WASM is neither security nor performance.
I'm an industrial engineer, so these sorts of questions fascinate me.

My intuition is their revenue is so much higher because of a mix of higher service people are willing to pay for (almost casual versus definitively fast food), higher average cost per person, and cheaper inputs (chicken versus beef price per pound).

# Speed of Service

I've ordered Chick-fil-a and literally been handed my food before the credit was done processing. That's not the norm, but was surprising. They get fast casual pricing while still being able to complete orders in a fast food

#Cost per Person

Chick-fil-a doesn't have a value menu. As a quick reference, look at the menu prices for Chick-fil-a [1] and McDonald's [2]. It's not a perfect datasource, but it roughly aligns with what I've seen.

At McDonald's you can get 2 cheeseburgers for $2. The cheapest sandwich at Chick-fil-a is listed at $3. Chick-fil-a doesn't have a "value menu" or "dollar menu" like other fast food chains do.

# Menu Simplicity

Chick-fil-a does a better job of keeping their menu simple. While it's not a direct effect on revenue, it would help training and there would probably be bigger containers of ingredients and fewer to reach over (reducing completion time).

Compare the unique ingredients between McDonald's [3] and Chick-fil-a [4]. There are way more combinations with McDonald's than Chick-fil-a. Additional complexity to be dealt with behind the scenes (though I've heard they make it dead simple to learn how to make the food). Taco Bell can (or used to be) be noted for only having about 8-10 ingredients which were mixed and matched into their entire menu!

I don't get it. I have lots of money. I've never had any feeling I had to 'guard' myself in any conversation with people from literally any social demographic. I mean, unless you're some kind of oddball, all you're using money for is buying nicer food, more space, and more time. So nobody's going to get upset because you're eating loads of avocados, even if it did come up in conversation.
This sounds extremely implausible; especially claiming "immune to SEO" is like declaring encryption "unbreakable". A lot of human effort would be devoted to it if your engine became popular.

This is the paper (by David Harel) that initially inspired me to create XState a few years ago. Here is a direct PDF link: http://www.inf.ed.ac.uk/teaching/courses/seoc/2005_2006/reso...

Many of the ideas carried over to UML, and statecharts are used in many areas of software and hardware engineering today. They're useful in many different aspects of modern development (especially in user interfaces) because they strongly encourage the developer to explicitly model the "finite states" of an application, instead of writing ad-hoc logic everywhere in a haphazard way.

Like any technology choice, statecharts shouldn't be used for everything, and should be used when modeling complex application logic with (potentially hierarchical/orthogonal) finite states is appropriate.

Excellent guide to statecharts: https://statecharts.github.io
Community: https://spectrum.chat/statecharts
Documentation for XState: https://xstate.js.org/docs/
Wrong. In the article he elaborates.

> As you can see, I didn’t even bother clicking on all of them now, but I can tell you the first result is deeply irrelevant and the second one leads to a 4 year old thread.

He also wrote

> At this point I visibly checked on reddit if there’ve been posts about buying a phone from the last month and there are.

Duckduckgo even recognized the date to be 4 years old and reddit doesn't hide the age of posts. There are newer more fitting posts, but they aren't shown. And again a quote

> Why are the results reported as recent when they are from years ago, I don’t know - those are archived post so no changes have been made.

So your argument (also it really is a problem) in this case is a red herring. The problem lies deeper since google seems to be unable to do something as simple as extracting the right date and ddg ignores it. Also since all the results are years old it adds to the confusion why the results don't match the query. (He also wrote that the better matches were indeed indexed, but not found)
Is it really predatory? For many owners of a Chick-Fil-A, the money is life-changing, and would take 3-5 other franchise restaurants to equal their level of income as a CFA operator.
Oni was such a great game, I'm really bummed to hear Take-Two isn't interested in figuring out the IP rights.
Sure - and franchises are actively marketed, by a commission sales force and any number of people who get a 'finders fee' should you happen to sign up through their channel. There is an active push to herd people into franchises.

They tend to target unemployed middle-aged managers, since that audience is often driven by ego to "be the boss" and has the disposable funds to pony up a large setup fee. I was aggressively targeted when I was laid off last year.

What they didn't know - until we got on the phone - is I'm the target prospect from hell. I certainly have the funds; however, I got them via two decades of finance and strategy work. Old habits die hard. Due Diligence? Don't mind if I do...

I was polite but I laid out my expectations in financial terms based on investments in businesses of similar size. Actual deals which I had managed. Made it clear I had the funds to deliver if they could meet my goals in writing.

They ran like hell.
> And are almost certainly making up how "in touch" you are

I think it's a bit over the top to tell people how they feel about something. I for one agree with OP. I actually enjoy driving. Maybe as much or more than some people enjoy listening to good music, write good code, or reading a good book. No point in belittling the experience just because you'd rather watch the movie.

This being said I understand why there is this disconnect between driver and car. Not only are many people not that much into the activity of driving beyond its practical purpose (and they'd surely choose to delegate as much of it as possible if given the choice, for convenience), safety plays a very important role. The driver starts being the weak link and this delegation perhaps shouldn't be optional. Convenience, efficiency, or "feel" may be entirely your business but safety also concerns all those around you.

Calling those groups "anti-gay" and protesting a fast food restaurant for donating to them is absurd.
Try to talk together and introduce a tool like a linter. Then let every member commit to the linting rules which should be used by the linter.
This way you can decouple the review process and it will be the linter‘s fault and not a fault of any engineer.

But really talk more in your team. Otherwise it is a disfunctional team. Agreeing on a ruleset for a linter is a start.

Other idea: draft a „code review manifesto“ with all team members and let everybody commit/follow this manifesto. Again it will be the consensus of the Team given by the manifesto/linter and not the individual person in case an argument comes up.
And ability to execute consistently across the chain. That's the real miracle here. Everyone else is hit or miss.

Extremely well put. I completely concur. My first cousin is in the process of getting his “own” store now. While it has been a grind (he often worked the mythical 100+ hour week while in the Leadership Development Program) it will pay off handsomely.

The best part of Chic-Fil-A (in my opinion) is not the food but their total devotion to the customer. The level of service you receive at a Chic-Fil-A freestanding store is unparalleled at virtually all other fast food joints (with the occasional exception of In-N-Out ((maybe the hyphens add to greater service?)) and most restaurants in general.

Logic, computation and optimization are closely related.

I think one of the purposes of the test was to ensure that the crew can escape safely from a dramatic fireball. It's hard to simulate throwing shrapnel and fuel at the Dragon capsule without actually blowing up the booster.

However, the Falcon wasn't intentionally detonated! This was also by design; if explosive charges were placed down the side and made it come apart naturally, it would come apart in a predictable way. If you know anything about test-driven development, someone would try to made assumptions about the explosion. By allowing an uncontrolled explosion at the time when the Falcon is experiencing the most extreme aerodynamic forces, it's basically creating a worst-case scenario.

SpaceX successfully proved that the Dragon capsule can escape from that worst-case, and that's great news. It'll be flying with crew very soon, I think.
Disclaimer: I run the unofficial IPFS Discord and Matrix (found at https://permaweb.io/discord and /matrix) and have helped organize IPFS Meetups in SF. We also run an IPFS gateway and have built a groups app on top of IPFS and Textile.

I generally agree with the conclusion, but there's a few downsides that aren't conveyed here.

Let's look at the proposed upsides:
1) Ownership, control, censorship:
That's partly correct. Ownership is fair, in the sense that you can run your node and self-host. However this is true of any self-hosting solution. You could run a Docker instance of a Wordpress or Ghost site and get ownership / control.

2) The point about censorship is muddied, however. I'll combine that point with the second upside: Resilience.
Every day for the past two years, I've seen people wonder if IPFS is a magical cloud with infinite storage. People seem to think you put a file on IPFS, and it just gets replicated, censorship resistant hosting. That's not how it works. People need to pin your hash. You need to tell the world about your hash somehow. All this is done via a public list of IPs that is being broadcasted. Think of IPFS this way: you're letting people with the hash become CDNs of your content. That's cool, but that doesn't solve discovery, keeping things up, etc. IPFS doesn't encrypt the content, or the connectivity, or hide the hosts. Solutions exist around that, but they're niche, and honestly I question the motives besides just ideology.

3) Elegance. Yeah it's a really, really cool way to solve linking. As some others pointed out, it's not as fast as classic centralized links, so it's better suited currently for solutions that don't require speed.
