1. get 2 mentors: a technical one and business one (doesn't need to be domain specific)

2. your job is transitioning from "doing" to "enabling". You'll be responsible for issues of governance AND operation. Learn the ropes equally. As you introduce successful operational concerns (bottom up) start to generalise them so they can be used as a top-down concern (i.e. i do devops -> we all do devops here, it's part of the training)

3. leading by example doesn't scale - stop. Embrace a teaching method that ends in trust: i.e. 1. introduce a concept to dev A, 2. get dev A to demonstrate it back to you independently (monitor and prompt as appropriate), 3. from afar passively observe future implementations of said concept and revert to steps 1..2 if required, 4. inform dev A that they are trusted explicitly with this concept and that it is theirs to run with - encourage them to onboard dev B in a similar fashion.

4. at the top you're more responsible for team morale than you can possibly imagine - random acts of kindness and/or direct conversations go a long way... whether it's donuts or "a quick catchup" over lunch, do it... regularly (if you find your postponing these kind of meetings you've got a priority inversion issue to sort out ASAP).

5. if someone is dishonest in any way take it to HR before they walk over you and your team/product/department suffers. In other words, with HR's help, address slow/no work or unapproved "wfh" days as a threat.

6. push back against harmful designs and rushed/skipped processes.
That's just immediately falsified by the fact that he's talking about children of Asian immigrants in the bottom quartile. The high-skilled visa workers are not in the bottom quartile.
Is today "post a wikipedia article" day?
I buy domains with Gandi.net and use ClouDNS.net for DNS hosting. Their anycast network is fast enough for me, and they offer DDoS protection, which is nice. I also like that they are a European company like ours, instead of a North American one.

For customers, we buy domains at ClouDNS.net as well, instead of Gandi.net — I wanted to have that separated. But after the way Gandi handled the complete loss of customer data issue last month[1], I am inclined to transfer our domains to ClouDNS.net as well. Not sure when though, as moving the number of domains I own would be a massive pain in the rear.

That's pretty ironic IMO
French press coffee maker, silicone dish sponge, manual food processor machine, sliding glass shower doors, and an old radio/tape player.

These are all things I've purchased recently to replace the standard way of doing things that are outperforming the alternatives.

For example, I wanted some coffee one day. I had coffee and a coffee machine (a kcup machine) but no pods. I couldn't make coffee. I realized that while the kcup machine has it's use cases, as a home coffee machine it was way over engineered for the problem.
As a scala user, I laugh when I hear Kotlin users saying they are doing functionnal programming.
box cutter. I get so many boxes and having a tool actually designed for this is just so awesome. It's cheap, the blades are cheap, and it just does the job.
Two things, having worked for a big Credit Reference Agency although not specifically on consumer credit.

1. The commercial customers can (for a fee of course) arbitrarily customize the metrics they care about. If you're looking for customers for your high APR "accept anyone" card you don't actually want the person with a squeaky clean history who'll never incur interest. But the recommendations do correlate pretty well with getting what most of us would consider better credit. Lower rates, better terms.

2. The CRAs grew naturally out of what happened before this data was available. Experian, for example, is essentially spun out from a mail order catalog company. So what your plan does is just waste everybody's time for a decade or two and then we're back here again but meanwhile the poorest people have no access to credit.
C++ != C
They mean plenty, they just require you apply some critical thinking...

5$ to 50$ is not 10 servers on Heroku. In fact, it's not even one server, you'll be sharing resources at that price point.

Let's say you generate approx. 500 lbs of CO2 a year (based of figures for a half desktop PC running 24/7 because you're only getting 2 cores and 1GB of ram)

At this point you're thinking, 500lbs?! That's insane!

But 40 hrs (1 week) is a lot of time, and 500lbs of CO2 is less than it seems.

If you spent 40hrs spread out over an entire year air drying your clothes a total of 20 times, you'd save over 2 Tons of CO2 a year. (You can do the math for a dishwasher if air drying doesn't work where you are)

If you live in a cold climate, the EPA estimates you can save 15%, or almost 1000 lbs of CO2, by weather proofing your home, easily accomplished in 40hrs

-

You might say "I already do all these things!", but the point is there are so many ways to convert time to CO2 savings.

We spend a lot of CO2 trying to save time you could say.

Optimizing your bootstrapped service is not one of the places I would use CO2 expenditure as reasoning in the slightest.
I do not have a slack room, but that does sound like a good idea.

For now I do have an email address provided for any questions in the book, and am reachable on Twitter (mlpowered) and GitHub.
I hired a housekeeper that comes every other week. This raised the base line of how tidy my home is that I can focus household chore time on organizing and refining my living space. This has created a virtuous cycle of constant improvement and much more enjoyment at home.
I'm so glad to hear you have been enjoying it!
Ever since graduating and getting my own place, I love my dishwasher and laundry machine. I love setting the delay for the dishes to wash at night, and I wake up to clean dishes! It really is robots doing something useful for us

There’s some story where they ask 2 very old ladies (100+) what there favorite inventions were of their lifetime, and they both answer laundry and dishwasher, because it saves them so much time!
It does seem quite wasteful to dig it out of the ground only to put it back in again. Especially since it seems some people are extracting value from it.
Not OP, but also interested in this. Looks like the main option is to use 3rd-party tools: https://help.getpocket.com/article/1127-using-pocket-on-kind...
I'm working on one side project:

I did this too! Huge quality of life increase, especially with Amazon where they barely give you a second to process what you just saw before starting the next episode. Plus, sometimes the music in credits is really good - I'll just sit there and think for a while.
I don’t know.

It is important to listen to your users, but not necessarily do what your user’s want.

Especially in the context of the user’s role.

Adding a thousand requested features also has its drawbacks.
IANAL. It is not a HIPPA violation if Experian has signed a BAA with the hospital. It's on the hospital to perform the due diligence checks, to verify that Experian's capable of upholding the terms of the BAA.

This article talks about how Experian have SOC-2 issues, which is a cause for concern, but smaller hospitals with tighter budgets could be inclined to look past it.

In general, it's important to understand that HIPPA doesn't prevent data from being shared, it gives it a legal framework to be shared within. When things go bad, the HIPPA-associated paperwork provides a roadmap for assigning liability.

Liability does get assigned, and companies (providers, insurers, network providers) are held responsible, despite the popular imagination: https://ocrportal.hhs.gov/ocr/breach/breach_report.jsf
I did the same thing and I enjoy Netflix much more. My maim gripe was that it always treated the ending music and credits as disposable. However, sitting and listening to the music and reading the credits helps me reflect on what I just watched and get the full experience the artist intended.
I don't want to keep repeating myself, but it seems you are either venting your frustration for feeling like you are not getting back what you put in (you probably aren't) or completely missing the point of what I was saying up-thread.

So, let me try different words: of course this redistribution is uneven. The point of socio-political programs is never to be "fair", no matter how much they say it is. So stop worrying about it.
I always say people have five productive hours per day. I ask they give me four of those on working days.

This applies to creative work: development, document writing, content production and similar. Meetings, sales, email and other types of interactions are less taxing.
Almost any software bug can end up killing someone once it’s deployed to a billion people.

It’s just less likely you’ll hear about it if it doesn’t involve a spectacular plane/car crash, missile launch, radiation release, etc.

Ad targeting comes to mind (e.g., accidentally pushing opioids and worse at mentally unstable people because the computer inferred they are likely to buy).

Customers care. Musicians are particularly sensitive to what's a value-adding improvement vs. a blatant ripoff.
By this logic, wouldn't you want an opportunity to help direct this space more positively, rather than being completely hands off?
using "reader view" in my browser and then refreshing works for me.
Take an ownership role in what your team is trying to build and the purpose in which it's intended to serve. If you don't, people around you won't feel the need to either. And those that do need you to be an owner when you're not, will find ways to go around you.

+1 to this. In order to even get an application for h1b there is even a requirement for employers that they are paid above a certain amount
I usually don't give medical providers my social security number. It's on all their forms, but I just skip that section and no one has ever come back to clarify that it's required.

I have no idea if they can require it or not, but I always assumed it was optional because they wouldn't turn away foreigners without SSNs.
This would be the place to mention the Panama Papers...
Yes, but interestingly (to me, at least), Google have modified their search engine crawler over many, many iterations so that what it values is the same as what a user would value.

When people would keyword stuff, Google developed techniques to spot that and stop it from working.

When people would work on backlink farms, Google developed techniques to spot that and stop it from working.

When price comparison search engines were all the rage, Google realised that if the "purchase" button led off-site, that was a marker that an intermediary was pushing the price up through affiliate schemes, so started to push those down in the rankings.

So now, the best way to create content for SEO is to think about what your ideal user would really want, because the two now align quite closely.

Opinion pieces, narratives, etc. all might make sense for regular readers but when a searcher is looking for something it's typically to get a job done, so Google ranks content that helps them get the job done.

I don't see what's sad about that.
tarsnap?

Wouldn’t the easier solution be to not accept patients without insurance (and low co-pays).

And given that it’s now a US requirement to have medical insurance, I’m still struggling to understand what this medical credit score is accomplishing.
The way he demonstrated to treat his engineers would make me more suspicious. I have experience in c/c++ and especially imaging, but no way in hell would I want to work there.

Maybe the guys he publicly fired were idiots, but even then you can manage that differently. It was a to a time when he got a lot of crap from media, but that is not a good excuse. Seriously lost faith in the company for that.
I does not mean there is no facial recognition deployed.
I live in Marseille, France, and facial recognition is currently beeing deployey all over the city.

In fact, not only facial recognition, but posture recognition, walk recognition, etc.
Marseille and Nice are two test-towns for global french deployment...
These programs are absolutely insane and completely out of control. I feel like I read a chapter of the Necronomicon.

Thank you for posting this, it's brilliant! Now to look at a tree or something until I can identify which way is up again.
Actually the figure I found was for "all ICT", if we mean compute to be data centers (I did) , it's even lower:

2% projected to reach 8% in a decade (https://fortune.com/2019/09/18/internet-cloud-server-data-ce...)
I miss C++ a lot. The modern standard library is a thing of beauty IMO. Such a shame that I could not find a good gig when I was looking few months ago, at least not where I am.

Looks like Tesla though are doing C with C++ features rather than C++. I'd also be interested in knowing what their "hardcore" questions are like...I heard that they ask a lot from your past experience.
For most of my very high tech life, I ignored gardens.

Now in my later years, my garden is one of my most treasured pursuits.

It is pretty low-tech, although you'd be surprised at how valuable debugging skills can be when it comes to the seed-box and sprouts and things.

Mostly, you just do a couple basic things - care for the plants, encourage a system, use your resources - and things will grow.

A garden will always heal you.
Thanks, something like that (I have seen that page though), but in a script form (which I didn't find so far). I certainly would not want to have to render a bogus map myself to extract similar images. Maybe I will just scrape it out of the page.
Exercise. Standing desk. Focusing on productivity. Dieting (not that goal-oriented, just trying different diets (keto, vegan, carnivore, paleo, IF) and seeing the effect they have on my body). Meditation (not as much as I'd want though). Talking to people (come in positive, usually making a funny comment on something or just introducing myself). Buying stuff (carefully chosen... like new socks, new gym shorts, kitchen aid like a stick blender... with high total lifetime expected value).
He’s lying. There is only one such comment and it is laughably obtuse. Influencing opinion without addressing the topic is exactly what Reddit is for.
opioids ads most likely killed 10Ks of people.
in a class-less society, where competition for cash is the elevator to wealth, high-pollution industry, treachery and predatory lending moves classes while "arts" does nothing..

These comments make it sound like "soft" people rightfully lose their chance at wealth, this is over-generalized, and badly so. People who build a social and artistic fabric, and do no harm, get run over by others with no social allegiance and a thirst for one result.

to strain this tangent further, it seems evident that industry and under-priced oil destroyed local craft, and the Internet and an entertainment-economy, has crushed fine arts practice in locale after locale.
Usually not more than 2h, just in the living room. No light at all in the bedroom, no devices/food either.

I try hard to get away from my laptop by 11pm. Then it's just Kindle without backlight/paper books or small chores like folding laundry.

I believe medical debt is no longer allowed on credit reports now. Maybe this is to get around that?
Well, that's a charitable take, but he literally starts with "stop reading slashdot/hacker news", so it's clear he means keeping your nose to the grindstone while you're "working".
Realize that you are / should be in control. Make sure you get mandate from the higher ups, that you get to say yes or no based on your own judgment. But don't rely on yourself for everything, work with your team as well. Realize that you're a manager, you manage people, priorities, considerations, etc, and that for purely technical decisions you rely on input of your team a lot.

Make sure that technical decisions are documented (e.g. via an ADR), making sure to document what you and your team know and consider at the time of writing. This is a pushback to hype-driven development; you don't want to be stuck with a bad decision just because one team member showed up at work one day with a feature implemented in technology X without proving they've done the work for it. And you don't want to have to waste time with future employees explaining (again) why technology X is used - you can refer to the docs, and if they want to challenge it, have THEM come up with counterpoints, have them sell it to you and the team, and have them defend the time / effort investment to change the technology.

Re: hiring, always do a technical interview, even if you're hiring internally. Involve your existing team members, they have to work with the new candidate after all. Have the applicant do a small project (4-8 hours) representative of the technologies and context of your project in their own time, and challenge them during the interview (the goal being they can prove they wrote and understood the code they produced).
I did not think that would work- why even bother with the darn paywall! I just guessed that if you disabled js the page would fail to load like other news sites.

Anyhow, thank you!
Socialism, noun, "a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole."

In how many of those states is that actually true? Maybe Cuba (which the US has been trying to overthrow for decades), and Kurdistan (oops guess who was completely abandoned by the US even though they were instrumental in defeating ISIS?), which that page doesn't even mention. The rest are some form of state capitalism. Certainly China is. Unless you think the workers democratically decided that being paid starvation wages to work in electronics factories to make cheap stuff for Americans was a good idea.
For those who don't know the definition:

"In economics, a public good is a good that is both non-excludable and non-rivalrous"

"A good is considered non-rivalrous ... if, for any level of production, the cost of providing it to a marginal (additional) individual is zero"

"... a good or service is non-excludable if non-paying consumers cannot be prevented from accessing it."
The sad bit is that (some reasonable) telemetric data is really, really useful for software engineering. If you have a large enough program, of course it'll have way more bugs than you could ever fix. Crash tracking and usage analytics is how you make a data driven decision on what to fix, and what to ignore. This enables a data driven approach to software quality that's a huge improvement.

Having worked on projects that did and did not have telemetrics, working without them feels absurd - it seems like you're just randomly fixing the side mirror on a car without any idea what's actually broken on it (independently of your overall testing posture).

Vendors tracking excessive information without proper disclosure destroy this information source for those developers that try to collect reasonable information (with consent, disclosure, in context, etc).
They might make even more of them—and do so more effectively—if they didn't have to spend as much time arguing with the government, investors, or lawyers about who or what Elon Musk defamed/tweeted/accidentally said on a podcast/whatever.
Because this task is going to be done by software. If it’s not software built for the purpose, it will be email and spreadsheets, with more confusion, more difficult training, and more manual data entry (hence more data entry errors) and no improvement in security.

Also it can immediately provide one calculation of the results and present the data immediately for others to replicate the calculations. The more quickly we get to this step, the more opportunity for independent verification.
As a scala fan, I think comparing Java and Scala is a bad idea. Scala is functionnal programming on the JVM and Java is OO. Kotlin and Java, on the other hand are both OO programming language and should have a smooth transition.

I know Elon is sometimes not popular around here, but how many CEOs at that level would know that level of details abouts the NNs. (he is totally in the weeds, but that is very cool IMO)

I'd love to work there, but I know I would not put in the effort to pass the coding tests.
In Switzerland private hospitals will calculate the possibility of success in your case and if it is too low you will not be accepted, because they want to keep their success rates high... Maybe such "Medical Credit Scores" could be used for the same reasons...
Nit pick, but I think the word you two are looking for is “emergency” rather than “emergent”.
I have them grind it for me at the store. It's definitely improved my quality of life. I prefer drip to press, but my wife is the other way around, so I deal with it.
It was a really fun stack to work with; I'll try to add some setup instructions later today. For the time being, you might be able to figure some things out from this commit tree which includes some setup code that I redacted (don't worry those creds are dead): https://github.com/Vetd-Inc/vetd-app/tree/4b6d51421e8d28e78d...

What about publicly shaming the people who profit off of this?

We've seen that this is something that absolutely doesn't work. They (that's the people who matter) just find a scapegoat and everyone else carries on just as before. Shkreli ended up in prison, but Valeant is still busy making profit off the backs of patients, and despite Hillary Clinton's professed outrage prices for such drugs as Syprine haven't gone down a penny. Netflix has a documentary on the case.

Where is the revolution? Where is single-payer healthcare?

Happens to me regularly, especially when I take photos of shop names, opening hour or draw building outlines (on an existing OSM map printout). The more residential the area the more questions. Of the last five questions two knew what OpenStreetMap is so that's progress.
The blue region will not be totally underwater. The most pessimistic estimate is a 6 feet rise by 2100. A coast property, if you are inclined, can deal with that.

The note under map says: Blue indicates counties where flooding will displace residents if sea levels rise by six feet by 2100. Counties in shades of pink and red will see higher-than-average migration, with the darker shades representing larger population increases.

So it only means people will likely migrate to other areas, not that the blue places will be totally underwater by 2100.

Got me wondering though, are you really a climate change skeptic? I mean climate change is something as obvious as gravity, we have all the data to support it, we can directly observe it etc. I find it hard for a sane people to question it, really. I mean I understand how someone can be skeptical about "man made climate change" which is something open to debate, but climate change itself isn't really open to debate.
Coffee grinder to make great coffee for cheap. Saves ton of time than going out to buy. Unless you walk which then you’d lose exercise.
