This is generally understood as a natural consequence of aging rather than the rigors and demands of the job. Most presidents end their terms in their mid-fifties or mid-sixties [0], which is prime time for developing a head full of gray hair, whether you're the POTUS or not.

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) helps tremendously because the whole schtick of CBT:

1. become aware of a feeling happening (in this case procrastination). By becoming aware of it happening, you can consciously overcome it ("hey I've been looking at HN for 35 minutes, I should get back to work")

2. start understanding the conditions which exist which cause this emotion to happen ("I notice I always procrastinate when it comes time to update my react-redux actions and reducers. It takes so long and is so tedious, I'd rather watch a youtube video")

3. start working on the conditions which cause you to procrastinate - start to understand what it is about modifying react-redux that sucks. Is it inherent and something you're just going to have to grind through? Is there a process you can change to make the work easier?

Those three bullet points are a very high level overview of something a therapist or coach will work with you for months on. But that is the general flow: identify a feeling -> identify the root cause of the feeling -> change the root cause, or become aware of and okay with the feeling happening

Yup. In tons of industrial settings it's common to have machines that are a century or more old.

I know someone who works for an industrial gear company and routinely reconditions things like draw bridge mechanisms or a rubber rolling mill (do they call it a mill?) and most customers just want things to keep on working like they've always been working since they've built their process around them and machine throughput is rarely the bottle neck. The improvements customers go for are modern bearings (quiet and cheaply serviceable) and if they have to have gears made they generally opt for a more modern tooth profile (potentially stronger, quieter and more efficient).
Science or not, it looks like millennia of real world human experience noticed this effect, even though it's hard to measure directly and is a slow process, sufficiently to end up in spoken language (some languages literally having the expression "I'm getting gray hair from this!" about a stressful experience)

I'd say so. It makes a difference when you're doing things like hyping Google for using only renewable energy sources for their cloud data centers. OK, cool, but all the network infrastructure along the way doesn't.

Only somewhat related, but I'm quite certain that on premise solutions would win over most cloud services if the energy cost of data transmission was factored in.
That's a pretty alarming finding to be honest. It's not just hair graying, it's also all kinds of other tissue damage that can occur, as the last few paragraphs hint at.

Stress may just kill us more directly than we've suspected, instead of through its physiological effects like e.g. elevated blood pressure and the effects from that.
Second story tries too much to read into minds of people who probably did not liked the talk - and somehow finds worst possible interpretation despite there not being much signal to lean that way.

For example, it is quite possible to not like talk that had too much beginner content in it, without the issue being personal offense on graduate presence. I find it pretty normal to not want to listen to beginner content - matching content to primary audience is a thing.

And it is possible for some people to like talk and others dislike it without anyone being massive asshole.

The "you can read another book" should probably be taken as feedback (even as it was not the most direct or polite way to phrase it) rather then mortal insult.

That's about a different deprecation back in 2018(?). Note this bit:

Just an FYI, nothing branded "Atari" in the last 20 years or more has had anything to do with the home computer/console maker. The brand has been passed around and milked for recognition.
The primary reason is likely because the hardware (SoC peripherals) drivers were written for 2.6.x and not forward ported to newer versions of the linux kernel. A lot of hardware drivers were (are) written by the hardware (chip) manufacturers and then abandoned.
Since this policy will only publish reviews of accepted papers, I don't think it would impact the situation you presented either way.
"block tracking, not ads" - given the strong links between tracking and ads, saying which one you intend to block is nothing more than wordplay. Practically speaking if you block tracking you likely also block more ads than you don't, whether that is your intent or not.

It sounded like not blocking ads was a goal.
Iowa Caucus App Source Code (Beautified)
A good leader doesn't compete with others- they bring out the best in others.

They assume the best of others.

They lead by example.

They are a facilitate as much as they delegate, and they don't lose sight of the fact that you can't lead from the trenches.

A good leader remains objective when it's hard to do so, and doesn't take it personally when somebody disagrees with them.

A good leader is kind, humble, and willing to help.

A good leader doesn't back down from using a firm approach when it's needed.

A good leader doesn't apologize for doing things that have to be done (discipline, firing etc).
Capacity planning can't be solely linked to the growth curve. This assumes that the number and complexity of your SQL queries never evolve, which isn't true in most cases.

I hate to be that guy, but why is it called Butt services?
I think there are two different issues. On one hand, if you haven't received much blunt criticism in your life, you might not notice when your own criticism comes across as blunt. On the other hand, if you're used to an environment where blunt criticism is no big deal, and then move to an environment where everyone walks on eggshells, it can be hard to adjust. But if people gave and received more criticism in general, both of these issues would go away, so that's what I would prefer.
I have a model that nothing in the world is offensive to us until it happens close to us. Right after my gf's mother died, we both noticed how many references to death there are in everyday conversation. "I was killing it in the gym." "I can't wait until $x dies a horrible death."

When i think of murder in music, I think of the dramatic Jamaican slang term. It used to kind of bother me, too, bc I also think of my neighbor's family who was senselessly slain when I was 18 years old. so it's kind of upsetting, but I also own trying to get over it.

Perhaps some religious people are offended by Whittle's reference to "Devil"?

Aesthetically, I don't think it's very tasteful, although I'm based in favor of Whittle and against Behringer. It's just drama and more drama. Especially so, bc elecmusic is entering mainstream, so more parents will look at buying instruments like this for their kids and say, "wtf."
Standardize Inconsistent Data for More Accurate Queries and Analytics
Have you seen the number of MacBooks at MIT, or Google's or any other tech company's campus? The difference between your notion and reality should really motivate you to question your assumptions.

The two most glaring errors are, first, that "advanced users" wouldn't care about ease-of-use. And, second, that "advanced users" would care about price as much as you do.

Apple is great hardware, an OS that works and that doesn't constantly bother you with notification (the most glaring problem with Windows, when I last used it a decade ago), and a native Unix underneath.
Now I'm curious how do security people react to people running in airports. Or maybe suspicious people never run because they don't want to attract attention (and do so in the process)
It’s not necessarily a slow process. I know someone (actually know, not heard a story about) whose hair turned gray almost overnight after losing his son to a car accident.

AWS has become hard to grasp in full scale.
Hopefully none of your family members have any "questionable" porn preferences... Make sure you're logging to protect yourself.
Few things I would like to say:

It will no longer be about you. It will all be about your team. Make sure you create a great team, nurture them, train them, teach them how to think critically (in doing so yourself).

Ask your team to write out everything they plan to do before they actually do it. Reason with them on what they wrote and what approach decisions they plan to take. Teach them to think long term. Writing before actually doing the task helps get a lot of clarity to them and also helps you in assessing what they were planning to build. (It also makes for a great log of what we did and why we did it. This will be the product documentation for your entire product tomorrow.)

Treat your team like your family. Do not stress them out with too much work. Be respectful of their time and effort. Give them breaks post completion of major tasks. Every second that you let them rest and breathe is a second you have invested in the future. They will recharge and put their best in the next task.

You have a tough job of standing up for the right long-term tech decisions. Stay loyal to your product. Work for your product - not your company. Take tough tech decisions that will stand for the long term stability and robustness of your product. But occasionally make allowance for your business team too.

Sometimes your teammates might shy away from a big daunting challenge - step in and work side by side with them to tackle it. But do this infrequently.

There is a lot to add to the above list but in general the idea is to help your teammates grow, help them think critically, stand for your product - make the tough calls.

All the best!

How Do You Ensure Quality in the Software You Create?
I do have experience as a GCP customer. I may not be a big customer of GCP, but I do spend around 3k/year in G Suite and 38k/year. It is uttermost impossible to have a phone conversation with somebody from GCP. You just can’t get a hold of somebody there.

Contrast that with AWS, where I had 4 engineers (back when our bill was 12k/year) helping us with recommending certain arquitectures and actively being useful anytime we reach out.

Our AWS expenses tripled because of growth and us choosing them for new components while our GCP expenses have remained flat.

Amounts like 30k/year may not sound big to many folks, but when you go to a truly good SaaS organization and spend that kind of cash, you get excellent support (online or offline). Google has absolutely amazing services that for the most part do not require human support, but for the times that you actually do, it is simply non-existant.
Sort of related, but old Seagrave firetrucks with 2 cycle, 2 gear engines would use an inertial type governor to lock-out the fuel from the carburetor to prevent overspeed. If you ever see an old engine with a set of weird spinning balls connected to a couple of rods at the top, thats an inertial check. They were also pretty popular with steam engines in factories and saved a lot of lives controlling automatic blow-off valve for over-pressure.

Exactly. What I see is that the SoC provider just freezes everything at a given version and supports just that. For example I am currently building Android 9 on a QCOM SoC with a 4.9 Kernel. I don't think it will receive any future update...
Amazon getting into on demand hosting early is in it's DNA. If you look at them as a business that grew up on earning profits on very small margins. And that early on demand hosting was pretty low margin, that in their case also let them offset some risk of building data centers earlier than they would have otherwise.
+1 to this. I read this book when I was new to management but found myself wishing I had read it earlier in my career. At least 50% of the book is really about the tech lead ladder. The topics on the management career path which much less concrete and flushed out IMHO. But the sections on technical leadership were really good.
Academia is full of politics, but in the same time, only a handful of people can continuously keep publishing groundbreaking work. Most of the work published is average or even worse - useless. Groundbreaking discoveries don't happen often.

Agreed. I highly doubt someone that doesn't want to upgrade their Java version (outside of Android) will be willing to learn and introduce a whole new language.
From experience I would say that most services do not invalidate access tokes after any account modifications, since you would need to track them. Depending on the service that might not be too trivial, but I would expect services like Instagram to do so. It is becoming more common at least.
ChargePoint teams with U.S. truck stops to expand electric vehicle adoption
I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, the original Moog company went through bankruptcy and a lot of changing-of-hands. So the current company is only vaguely related to the original.

But on the other hand, they did come back to life, not only to recreate originals but to create new, interesting designs. So even though the Minimoog hasn't been in continuous production since the original, they do still sell it today.

Plus, the new company is mostly employee-owned. If you're ever in Asheville, definitely check out the factory for a free tour as well as the Moogseum.

On to Behringer. What they are doing is questionable, especially around the Minimoog and ARP, two models that are currently in production by the original manufacturers.

However, I think there's an easier case to be made for the old designs that are no longer in production (e.g. the Juno 106, 808, 303, etc.).

Even though Roland makes some modern products that include the functionality/sounds of the originals or mimic the look and feel, they are still generally based on virtual engines instead of analog circuits. Argue all day long about the sound differences, but synth heads tend to love analog. Korg has done a better job at cranking out desirable analog designs.

What Behringer and Korg are doing, that Moog arguably isn't, is creating desirable analog synths that hobbyists can afford. Yes, they were never this cheap back in the 70s/80s. But it drastically lowers the cost of entry for people just wanting to get started and not wanting to use a DAW for everything.

I'm excited for the 909 clone as that has the best pads to my ears. I'm considering getting a DeepMind, which is inspired by the Juno 106 but different in many ways. I could see a TD-3 in my future. I'm less excited about the Poly D and ARP, but that could be my own musical taste as well.

Related note: why didn't Behringer include a batteries option in the 303 and 606 clones? I see these as almost perfect competition to Volcas, but Volcas have battery options and are way more portable. I know the originals were only hardwired, but still.
Here is the thing, you shouldn't feel guilty about feeling this way and rush out to see a therapist. This epiphany is part of the natural cycle of emotional maturity.

Now it's just a matter of applying thought to action. For example, make an effort to listen to and understand other people. It get's easier because it will lead to more meaningful relationships. It becomes a positive feedback loop.

The GP asked "Don't laptops exist anymore" to that I answered. And no - a webapp isn't an alternative for those crappy laptops, filled with viruses, outdated browsers, and/or weird privacy plugins the (grand-)son installed are not an alternative. (We could argue about requirements of integrity here ... an app can offer a little bit more than a webapp on an arbitrary windows PC ... But integrity can be guaranteed by having the second channel (other people watching and then comparing published results) as there is no secrecy involved (for one we talk about summaries, for second caucuses are public anyways))
SurfingAttack exploits ultrasonic guided wave propagating through solid-material tables to attack voice control systems. Interesting!
Cool tool!
I wrote something for reverse-engineering code, as a consultant years ago. They had a radio module but the manufacturer had lost the source code.

So the tool was called Golem. It had tables for defining opcode to assembler pattern matching, that could be written for any machine (instead of just the one I was cracking).

It worked iteratively. You ran it over the binary once, it produced arbitrary labels from jump-points. You could annotate that output by changing the labels to something human-readable (e.g. Loop-back, Main, TimerISR etc) and add comments.

The next iteration would read that back in to build a symbol table, rescan the binary and re-output. But this time it would understand that the symbols were always on opcode boundaries, distinguish data table from code entry points (because you marked them) etc. So it would do a better job of staying in sync with the code.

Once I was done with that project (and had re-compilable source for the radio module) I put it away and never thought of it again.

Congrats! Did O'Reilly give you valuable technical feedback while you were writing the book? I was in talks with publishers, but decided to self-publish (https://leanpub.com/beautiful-spark/) because I didn't get the impression that the book publishers would be able to help at all with deeply technical issues.
Congratulations!

Do you have a slack or some other place to group together readers of this book to discuss? I'd love to poke other readers' (and yours) brains as I go through this.
My apologies for not knowing the details of Romanian speech to text gizmos, but for English, Spanish and other more popular languages speech to text worked adequately, using contemporary hardware even back in the 1980s when Romania was still part of the Warsaw Pact. The fact that google or whatever has gotten around to training a vector quantizer on Romanian now isn't really a sign of actual technological progress. It's just last mile.
Assume that, for the people on your team, work is a #4 or #5 priority. And there's nothing wrong with this, as long as they're giving you a solid 80-90% effort during working hours.

If you ask them to put work ahead of family or faith or rest, or if you somehow expect more than 100% effort from them, you're going to drive away the ones who have other options. And the reason they have other options is because they're the best ones.
>I'm pretty clearly undermining the idea that there exists an authority that can identify the social ill of "purity spirals".

You can't undermine a point nobody is really making. Maybe someone is making it somewhere, but tracking back up this comment chain I can't find it. 8 levels up probably_wrong explicitly says "No one" is such an authority. And further asserts that the type of claims suggest that the question is of a type where such an authority can not exist.

If I had to guess, what you actually want to do is tell people off for making and sharing personal assessments of social situations to the best of their own abilities and doing it at a lower evidentiary standard than you're comfortable with. If so, have the courage of your convictions to admit you think that either (A) nobody should do that at all, or (B) you're so much more better at it than them that they shouldn't do it. Or maybe (C) tell them to stop because you disagree but don't want to wade into such imprecise debate.

From the outside, you're not articulating your point well enough to avoid looking like epistemological flailing.
