This sounds really interesting to read about, especially refactoring into an entirely new language. Are there any articles about what that process looked like for Google at the time? Or any example that changed languages really.
Finding the One Decision That Removes 100 Decisions
Huh, I've just realised I'm much the same. Google is used by me primarily for (and in this order in decreasing proportion): Wikipedia search, Stackoverflow search, company name search, medical related search, current event search (sports scores, election results), (smallest minority of the time) other random queries.

Everything else I get from HN, Reddit, FB, etc.

The instant google results are the vast majority of the time taken from wikipedia. Sports scores and election results are taken from other sites that Google has started top present quite nicely, but that I could easily get elsewhere. Company name searching is basically just using Maps indirectly.

Google as a raw search query product is dying. A competitor could probably service 90%+ of queries just by being great at serving instant result previews at the top for a set of the most popular data (mass-media, wikipedia, local maps).

FIFO and LIFO are common options, but for stocks you can also elect to calculate based on specific shares. (Depending, of course, on support from your brokerage.) If one can do the same with BTC transactions, it will make staying under the limit much more achievable... Especially if you can mix lots, allowing losses to offset gains in a single transaction.

I think the issue is that they have now changed this risk classification of a number of systems and now have to think of stuff like "well, if the variable tag gets bit flipped, what should happen?"

Its not really a sign that they are finding things that were uncertifiable before, its that they are uncertifiable post-grounding.

I would honestly expect more of this to happen throughout the industry, since the FAA doesn't want to be blamed for anything, they are going to expect lots more to be spent on making even safer aircraft.

Buried the lede.

In the fourth quarter of 2019, we created a large task force made up of passionate community advocates from across the company to propose solutions to this core problem. The team’s mission is to improve our feedback loop and working relationship with our community. We added a member of our Community team to our leadership team and restructured the organization to invest in Product leadership to build Community-centric features. We are also forming a moderator council, which will include a group of users with diverse experience levels and backgrounds who can help guide our processes. We’re making hard choices and treating no assumptions as sacred in considering ways to evolve the community.

... We want to serve all of the millions of people who use Stack Overflow, not just those who know the most about how the site has worked in the past. To be clear, this does not mean channels like Meta will go away, but they need to grow to ensure that users are heard and responded to in a timely fashion.

We’ve completed the process of defining how our moderator council will be structured, shared an internal framework for asking coworkers tough community questions, defined the important functions that would be best served by more scalable solutions than Meta, and built outlines of our new moderator training modules. By the end of this quarter, all of these initiatives will be shared publicly with you, our users.
I feel like those are actually trolls. I don't remember the last time I saw someone serious about rust doing those types of silly stunts.
> a position he occupied just after releasing "dirt" on the government opponents to facilitate the presidential election

That judge went after one of the largest corruption scandals of our age. There's no evidence he did so in order to acquire a political position: at the heyday of the prosecutions against the workers party, the current president (who made the judge one of his ministers) wasn't even widely known by the population.

On the other hand, Greenwald, who works for The Intercept and is funded by Pierre Omidyar (one of Ebay's founders), has a very strong leftist agenda (he's a regular in communist conventions and whatnot, for that matter), and has been working in all ways possible to discredit the current government while praising the previous government which was impeached -- the one whose party members have been convicted by various crimes, mostly corruption related. It's hard to argue that Greenwald was exposing some sort of manipulation by the judicial system. He was trying to manipulate the media by creating a narrative using information that he acquired illegally, and that he couldn't use to demonstrate wrongdoing in the end of the story.
I wrote a blog post (https://blog.nichetester.com/the-assholes-guide-to-product-v...) and eventually made a web app (https://nichetester.com) to step people through a pretty similar process for new ideas.

There is technically nothing that defines what a journalist is (in most cases), and "committed certain actions that are of public interest, and lied about and/or hide these actions" is an impossible grey area, technically difficult to define. Very, very vague.

By that logic, almost anything could be hacked and published on some arbitrary blog because of the very vague term 'public interest'.

If this is the threshold we're going to use than almost the majority of political communication, huge swaths of business communication, and large portions of personal information of anyone with a public profile can be subject to hacking and publication.

While it might be good that 'a liar was exposed somewhere in Brasil' - this might not be the path we want to go down.
Didn't take long to escalate into an Ad Hominem attack did it?

By the way, I don't think a Vice video with a puff-PR interview with Tim Cook about data privacy is going to help your case. It's about as effective as going into prison and asking an inmate if he's innocent.
> Travel bans don't work for infectious disease management.

That is incorrect. It works marginally and temporarily.

> Even worse, it will limit the ability for organisations to get staff and resources to affected regions,

That's a matter of implementation. Making blanket statements about the future of a social agreement that doesn't exist, is speculation.
It does sound better but here's the thing: this is Jeff Bezos. He's one of the most high-profile people on the planet. If his phone was hacked through WhatsApp, he clearly filed a complaint and told them what had happened. They just didn't manage to patch it for over a year and then stated they 'had no way of knowing' even though this clearly proves it happened.
Rust has procedural macros too. And they're not a separate "mini-language" like the C++ template hacks, they just use Rust itself, except with a phase separation involved since they run at compile time.
I've encountered dozens, maybe hundreds of problems where it was actually something that would matter. Here's one example. Consider you need to process lots of requests, that require making multiple requests that take a long time to finish (like 10-30 seconds) and you need to do it nearly in real-time. Given there's no sane multi-threading in PHP as well, you end up building your own parallelism support, which requires running lots of workers. Now, every of these workers does some pre-processing, makes a requests and waits for multiple damn seconds, to get the result back, make some computations and get to the next job. Consequently, to handle the same number of requests/sec you need much more workers, which has a lot of overhead, which results in needing more servers.

Sometimes you can use CURL to just make multiple similar requests in parallel and call it a day, but in practice I rarely could make use of it (consider that service you need to call might require some fucked up protocol, like SOAP, so you best option would be to rewrite SOAP client using CURL with parallel requests, which is not fun at all).

At that point you really start thinking some (any?!) other language would be a better fit for the application, but you have tons of very domain-specific business logic written in PHP that you'd need to rewrite for that app, as well as a team of PHP-developers that are not necessarily ready to learn whatever you have in mind, sooo...

However, I see people complaining about Cloudflare in lots of places other than here. The number of people adversely affected by Cloudflare is not small.
I’m not sure that’s a big vote of confidence for me. The other take on what you wrote is the RNC watched the DNC skirt over any sort of responsibility to allow authorities to investigate such a claim and want in on that action.
I can't speak for the OP, but in our situation, the customer doesn't realize they are buying from a competitor. We regularly get support requests from customers we can't find an order history for. It's almost always the case that they ordered from someone else thinking they were ordering from us. They searched our name, clicked the first result, and placed the order.

We've even seen this happen with repeat customers of ours. It's tough since Google allows the ads to be very confusing, but then we also have competitors who have blatantly copied our style, content, and have even named themselves in a similar manner.

We also spend just under five figures a month on branded keywords to combat this. We rank #1 organically for all of them, but there are always 3-4 competitors bidding on them so we only get a small portion of that traffic if we don't pay for those keywords and get the #1 paid spot as well.

Even with that in place people will still get duped and click ad #2, #3, or #4 that go to competitor sites.
OK, so I'm just a random anonymous coward. And arguably obsessed with my hobby.

But I'm puzzled that Bezos would be corresponding with MBS on the same device that he uses for potentially embarrassing personal stuff. Isn't that just a totally obvious OPSEC fail?

Edit: But that's what he did, isn't it?

And how could that be considered safe?
We're not talking about "the public" generally, we're talking about someone who has thought about a topic and possesses enough interest to write about it. One would think that in the interest of intellecutal honesty they would investigate previous work. If they haven't, it's a valid point of criticism of the work, and I have criticized the work on that basis, just as I would criticize someone writing on space-time who hasn't bothered to look into Einstein, or someone writing on electronics as if they're discovering Kirchoff's law for the first time.
Generally speaking: your participants will use you when they need you and cut you out when they can do so cheaply. This isn't an indictment of them: it's completely rational for them to do this. But that means it's up to you to add value to the transaction, until the perceived cost of defection is higher than the platform margin.

Airbnb did this beautifully: they set up insurance for all their hosts, and so were able to frame "stay on our platform" as a safety directive.

You can also go the opposite way, but that usually leads to user-hostile antipatterns. E.g., Freelancer tries to detect all the ways folks might send each other phone numbers on their messaging service. This is both annoying and easy to circumvent.

If your rate of defection is high enough, no amount of tactical tricks will save you. Incentive and ingenuity together are too much.

When you're small and still have structural degrees of freedom, target the incentive by adding value to your offering if you can. If the problem only appears when you're big, you may have the resources to play whack-a-mole.

If you're small, have high defection rates, and also can't economically add value to your offering - it's time to move into another line of business.
There are recordings of GG kind of "coordinating" actions of the hacker group right in the middle of the process of extracting private messages. Hacker would ask GG's opinion about what to do next: 1. expand the attack 2. stop and assess what they've gotten so far. Then GG clearly advise them to continue to extract more data. So state attorneys now think this attitude "crossed some lines" with crime to which GG is an accomplice.
Engineering manager here.

As other commenters have said, this situation is common. That's not to say it's okay - it isn't. The question I'd ask you is, "before you bail, what can you learn from this experience?"

One of the primary duties of a manager is to act as a diffuser of potential stressors. Given your experience level, all the inputs you are receiving should be landing on your managers desk first. Those inputs should then be filtered, grouped, prioritized, contextualized (to whatever extent is necessary for you to understand what you're being asked to do) and then handed to you at a rate that enables you to complete work and learn the systems you're interacting with.

It's okay to push back on requests. It's also a good idea to develop a system for doing so.

One of the things I repeat often with my direct reports is, "everything has a place." Every request, every escalation, every task we're asked to work on - it all goes into a ticket system. Everyone on my team knows to accept the input and inform the source of the input (often another engineering manager) that their requests will go into our work queue and will be prioritized against our other objectives at the appropriate time.

You seem to be operating without those systems in place. What I'd suggest is that you develop a queuing and prioritization system for yourself. The next time someone asks you to do something, maybe try saying:

"I'll be happy to dig in. Let me get a few pieces of information from you and I'll put this in my queue. Mind if I follow up with you next week?"

A couple things could happen in response. They could escalate and use their coercive power (they outrank you) to force you to do the work immediately. This is when you can invoke your manager. You could respond with,

"Understood. I will inform my manager and we will prioritize accordingly."

Usually these situations won't escalate. If you appear to have your act together, others will recognize that. If you have a system of note cards or an issue tracker you're using to capture their requests, they may be more inclined to leave you to manage your own work queue. If you're also equipped with a prioritization rubric (it can be arbitrary, just start with org chart hierarchy of the requestor if you don't have anything else to go on), even better.

As the saying goes, "manage your time or others will do it for you." No matter how stressful this may seem now, this may be an opportunity to learn some time and work queue management skills. The earlier in your career you begin cultivating these skills, the better.

I'm happy to elaborate on any of the above.
> An increase income range is an increase in income.

I think I see the issue here. I am talking about the population as a whole, you are talking about an individual. It is true that over time individuals tend to move up the income ladder. And that more capable people move higher up the ladder thanks to being more capable, free of disability that hinders their achievement. However, the steps of the ladder have remained unchanged over decades. Making more than someone else is not the same as making more than you otherwise could have.

If we break that ladder up into percentiles, the person at the top of, say, the 70th percentile made x of number dollars in 1970 and the person at the top of the 70th percentile still makes x number of dollars today, in real dollars. In 1970 that person did not have an education above high school. Today that person does. Despite promises, their income did not increase with increased educational attainment. Incomes are stagnant. There was no advantage to gaining that higher education with respect to income. The person at the top of the 70th percentile, who got there because of the abilities and constraints they were born with, would have ended up there regardless.

> What stagnant income means is, they aren't making more relative to their productivity.

What stagnant income means is that incomes are literally not changing, relative to inflation. On average, if you made $1 last year, you will make $1.02 this year, assuming a 2% inflation rate. A real increase of $0; stagnant. To put it another way, incomes, in nominal dollars, are increasing at the same rate as inflation.
All the facts above are correct. The opinion at the end seems pretty reasonable given things like this:

Composer (getcomposer.org) is the package manager of choice for php.
But you’re imagining an ideal society in which most people would choose to learn. If history is any indicator most would choose not to or even worse be unable to. For a long time education was a privilege only enjoyed by the wealthy.
Join the dots...

Who had a beef with Bezos and was friendly with MBS?
xsv is awesome!
Great theory, except for the fact David Pecker was directly involved and more or less admitted it was a favor for Trump which he had been doing for decades.
I would love to be able to overrule Google and always sort Wikipedia as the first result. Maybe this can be done with a browser extension.
I think MBS has a beef with the Washington Post (also owned by Bezos), not Amazon. It also fits with the murder of Khashoggi, a WaPo journalist.

> Can you write an OS in Java? Yes. Should you? Probably not.

PTC, Aicas and Gemalto embedded JVMs for industrial automation can run either with a real time OS, or directly bare metal with Java Real Time JSR.

Android has plenty of Java in it, as of Project Treble it is possible to write user space drivers in Java, something that Android Things supported since the beginning.

MicroEJ has a minimal hardware glue in C, with everything else in Java.

At CCC there was a demo about TamaGo, bare metal Go for USB security devices, then there is also Astrobe with Oberon-07, the new Meadow boards run .NET Standard based OS.

Arduino and ESP 32 support Circuit Python, uLisp, MicroScheme and picoOCaml.

So plenty of systems programming examples with GC.

Google decides the layout. You can have the 'strongest SEO' in the world and Google still decide if they put 1 ad or 9 in front of the result.

Strength of SEO is irrelevant to the ads. The only thing Google hate is when sites manipulate themself to rank higher and offer a worse user experience.

None to Run looks great! The slower the progression the better for beginning runners in my (also totally unprofessional) opinion too.

As a general comment, shin splints is the classic beginners too-much-too-soon running injury. Experienced runners get a whole range of other injuries, but rarely shin splints. The only time is after they take a break and try and come back too quickly (notice the pattern).
