Big Brother and Big Mother were let in because people opened their wallets to buy Teslas, carry around iPhones to track them and install Ring to invade their neighborhoods. This is what anarcho-capitalism results in: political/institutional corruption that amplifies inverted totalitarianism for the nearly exclusive benefit of the very rich. Without sensible regulations (limits and protections), we are doomed. Some people need to clear this waxy build-up of libertarian utopian nonsense that was invented by the Koch's and their economist buddies lionizing Ayn Rand from between their ears before it causes any more damage to society.

> Managers are supposed to delegate tasks to you, not the other way around.

In software engineering? Not really. They aren't engineers, they can't delegate anything because they have no idea what to do or how to do it.

In SE, the best managers can do is be helpers in non-technical tasks, like manage the attendance system for you or talk to other departments when your issue tracker goes down or if there's an internet connection problem in the office, and so on. Make sure nothing distrupts your work, in other words.

> If you are delegating tasks to your manager, (as opposed to your manager saying something like, "I'm going to assign this task to XXX,"

Managers cannot, without any input from the engineers, assign tasks, because they have no idea what the task affects, the impacts, the risks, difficulties etc. Their so-called decisions that touch on the technical side are 99% based on the engineers' input. The engineers say this is critical and explain why and the manager says "oh well, then you and you should fix it asap!".

Sometimes a manager is useful for aggregating the data flowing in and out of the team, as the team's single point of entry for various people, kind of like a reception or secretary in a sense. Again, to let the engineers work on their stuff.

Or, the manager could present some business requirements, although for that you should have a PO, but suppose it's the manager. Even then, they're not delegating as in commanding the people to do something, they're just asking the engineers to work on a solution, something which the manager has no idea how to do. It's like, if I call a plumber to fix something, I'm not delegating the work to the plumber because I have no idea how to do it myself, I'm simply asking the plumber to provide a service. I'm not the plumber's "boss", the plumber is the expert, I'm simply asking their expert opinion on how to proceed.

> then your manager isn't really managing

They are never managing anything, at least from my oh I don't know, about 16 years of experience working at companies big and small.
I wrote something internally a couple of years ago, and it is precisely a thought piece on why 1:1s exist, for whom, and how to get the best from them.

As it's too long for a HN comment I hope you don't mind my "publishing" it on Google Docs: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R4j84c7gHRn1Q3xmwg5h18La...

Feel free to give this to your manager to help them consider how to use the 1:1 and make it better for the both of you.
> I'm so disappointed to read comments on this thread to the effect of "There's nothing in it for the company but risk".

Well, it's true, what exactly do you expect people to say? No one's saying it's good or nice for the candidate.
This is the opposite why to have a 1:1.

It's like going to therapy and trying to analyze the therapist. Save your money.

>My point was, that we have now a long enough history of Apple's hardware failures, delayed admissions, and constrained repairability.

Because despite all of its problems, sadly Apple's product is still very often the best on the market.

You sort of wish Microsoft to do better, both hardware and Software, along with HP and Dell. But the market is polarised with one group who dont care or understand quality, or another group who demands absolute perfection and are willing to pay for it.

What's the relevance of their having used the term correctly?
Man, I remember reading this back then and agreeing with everything he said. And he was largely right. SC2 never really became relevant. By the time they fixed the arcade and implemented coop, both features that were absolutely necessary to capture the casual audience, it was way too late. I love the coop mode, but it's clear that the whole game is getting little investment from Blizzard because they themselves realize it wouldn't be worth the time, money and effort.
It's not really about "inflation" in general, but about certain areas in particular. Inflation as measured by the consumer price index has actually been fairly moderate for well over a decade; it's actually below the target inflation rate of 2% most of the time.

The article is about certain components that are rising faster than inflation. Housing and medical care are included in the CPI[1], but perhaps they should be weighted higher. (Shelter is around 30%, medical care 8%). Things like student loans don't figure into that at all: tuition costs do, but not the accumulated weight of servicing the loans. The weights are kind of an interesting read.

A lot of it is about the way it impacts people disproportionately. The inflation number lumps a lot of things into one average, but a lot of costs hit specific people and don't affect others. If you don't have child care costs or student loans, you are probably enjoying the soaring economy. But those who do are getting hammered.

Obviously it's a simplification; comparing and contrasting the approaches of SpaceX and Boeing would require several walls of text...

At the core of the issue though, the process that SpaceX pitched to NASA (and NASA approved) involved quite a bit of actual hardware testing. Boeing's plan (also approved by NASA) relied much more heavily on simulation, modelling, and other sorts of process validation. For instance, Boeing did not perform an in-flight abort.
First of all, dress code is directed to both sexes, it is obvious this headline is sexualized with bad intent. ever reading gitlab told salesmen to wear black tie and blazer?

Something can be literally true, but in the mean time out of context like this.
I've often wondered if software engineers would benefit from the accountability of licensing like other engineering disciplines, especially as it pertains to safety critical systems.

It's a bit shocking for me to know a mechanical, electrical, or civil design in, say, a power plant may require a Professional Engineer to officially stamp it but any ol' software engineer can write code on that system and fire it up. My understanding is that NCEES lists a controls systems license but I have yet to meet a single person with it or hear of a project that required it.

To a certain extent, I wonder if software development rigor/oversight is in an adolescence similar to what it must have been like for mechanical systems during the early parts of the industrial revolution.

Why is he even in the industry then? It sounds like he set up shop in a high rent area and I doubt he can compete on price with online retailers. It's a dubious choice from a business perspective. Hardcore surfers probably know as much as he does about the products he's selling, or know enough to find them online for cheaper, so what is the value add he offers? I'm sure he chose this line of work bc he wants to be around surfers and near the beach etc, but maybe he should have tried something more boring and profitable if lack of success is going to bother him.
> it’s a pathological, immature state of mind

The word "pathological", presumably, means "deviating from the normal". The word "normal", in its turn, has two distinct meanings: one that is about what is desirable, the other is about what is common. On these grounds, and according to the second meaning of the word "normal", I would argue that fear is not pathological, nor is the desire to escape blame. It's quite normal. Whether some people can control this desire is the question.
Just in general, you can never take for granted the length of the data you're referencing via a pointer unless you absolutely control the whole input path and it's amazing to see that happening in code written at this level

> They may sell a subset of their product to yuppies

I think you have this backwards. They make their profit off the yuppies buying the latest product year after year. The hardcore users aren't buying new tents, jackets, snow pants, etc every year.
The tracks are not fixed to the ground. If a train grips the tracks in order not to fall over, it will probably still fall over and also rip the tracks out of the railbed as it does so.
Constructive feedback is the key. No one is going to feel good about getting back a score card that says "Communication: 6/10, Technical Ability: 5/10..." etc. That just leaves you with more questions and no actionable feedback. "6/10? I'm at least 7/10!" or "I'm mostly 6-7s, why was I not given an offer".

There is something so depressingly robotic about the obsession with being the best at everything all the time. Career, income, diet, exercise, lifestyle, hobbies; can't even have fun anymore without spending days holed-up researching esoteric hyper-optimizations. Some of you need to relax and stop sucking the fun out of everything.
Do you think propensity to spend is perfectly equal across all hobbies? Is it possible that surfers spend less relative to something like photography or sailing?

By saying it's "just being normal", you're signaling that sensible frugality is normal to you. It's possible that value has some correlation with your identity as a surfer, no?

5 sections.

1. Personal chit-chat.
2. Review of your work commitments and what your boss can do to help you.
3. Review of personal development commitments and what your boss can do to help you.
4. What questions do you have for your boss about your business, department, or team.
5. Share specific feedback for your manager, ask for specific feedback.

It's very important to have those commitments set quarterly or at worst annually. You should set double-length 1:1s for those sessions.

> I keep repeating that this is not about SQL injection.

Is that why you made that absurd claim about sql injection being an explicit requirement? And that weird figure of 24 hours for handling sql injection, and api validation?

> Never assume a database or any IO call for that matter will always go right.

I said "db calls aren't randomly placed in try/catch - that will be absurd". Because they will be handled at app level to return uniform error messages. Now I am sure you will go on pretending that when you said "db calls aren't in try/catch", what you meant was db calls can throw an exception and app will handle it.

> Pretty much any large codebase, that passes objects around should always do Null pointer checks. This is because several times resource heavy objects are initialized only on certain conditions, and if such objects are passed around they must be checked.

What did I say about None checks not necessary because of something which is visible in the code? What do you think those marshmallow schemas and use_kwargs is for?
I’ll tell you one reason why you shouldn’t switch to a Lenovo laptop: their atrocious history with backdoors and buggy, vulnerable software, and the lockdown within their BIOS/UEFI to prevent things like swapping components for no good reason.

The problem is cats get no reward from catching the red dot.
For some it can be a stressful as they need to catch the prey. The key is top reward them with a treat or toy once they have caught the dot.

Just like humans, endlessly chasing something that gives no rewards can lead to undesirable outcomes and behaviours.

The Secret Language of Coders
I've been considering both Linux and Windows (with the linux subsystem, obviously) but so far can't bring myself to do it. I'm leaning towards Linux. My main beef with both ecosystems is the high amount DYI and tweaking needed to get things functioning and that I actually need to make an indepth study of exactly which variants of which hardware to get in order to get a linux setup that works.

With windows I have no love for Windows specifically but would appreciate access to a wider selection of games. For work, all I need is docker and access to linux/unix tooling. Homebrew and docker for mac cover my needs but I've been hearing good things about windows and the linux subsystem. Obviously that kind of stuff works great on Linux as it all runs natively there.

IMHO the big problem with Linux is that people are still thinking about distributions like it is the early nineties. It does not make sense to me for small (or even bigger) linux distributions to even pretend to be able to maintain huge software repositories with distribution specific builds of all OSS known to mankind. What's needed here is people just agreeing on how to package up binaries such that they can be run on any linux distribution after their developers test, sign and release them.

I saw this in action when one of my favorite OSS tools released a major version a few weeks ago and I was able to install the mac build while world + dog was complaining about a lack of pre-packaged binaries for their favorite Linux distros (pretty much all of them). I'm talking about Darktable, which is one reason I'm seriously considering a move to Linux because I absolutely love it and it runs best on Linux. I installed it within 2 hours after it was tagged on Github. That for me sums up the problem with Linux: the application ecosystem remains a mess of incompatibility and middlemen adding dubious value (mainly verifying it does not clash with their other customizations for other packages).

IMHO this is a reason why the most widely used consumer versions of Linux are basically things like Android, ChromeOS, and a wide range of software for TVs and other embedded hardware; none of which involve a mainstream Linux distribution or package manager. The only package managers you need on a mac are for installing OSS software. Normal software is just a simple drag and drop to install and move to trash to uninstall. Apple nailed this already with OS 9 before Linux was a thing. MS with its need for custom installers never figured this out either.

Docker is kind of doing this for servers these days and snaps look promising but still a bit flaky. I think it's telling that the hope for gaming on Linux is basically Steam doing the hard work of providing a way to install software on Linux that is compatible with the goals of software developers that want to release software directly to users instead of to some middlemen that need to repackage, modify, an tweak a custom package of your software.

I keep a little private git repo with markdown files for each meeting I've had with my supervisor (academic setting), and one file for the one in the future where I write down agenda items as they come up. I always have "Project Progress Summary" as a line item, where I give a short summary of what I'm working on.

Sometimes I've nothing but that "Project Progress Summary", sometimes I've got some road blocks I'd like to share, other times I've got a bundle of miscellany or brainstorming items on it.

I take notes on a pad of paper during the meeting, take photos with my phone, and if anything of substance happened in the meeting, I might transcribe them so that I can find them with a quick grep of the meetings folder.

Would you mind explaining how "step it up", which I read as "stepping up the dress code" is low-class? For me there is a natural progression from sports wear, to casual, to business casual, to business, to cocktail casual, to cocktail, to black / white tie.

And since we all have that one friend or colleague that's always two levels below the stipulated dress code, I also understand the urge to explain it in male / female terms. It's just more specific. If I extend my sympathy to the non-binaries, I could understand that the dividors "Men:" and "Women:" could have been dropped in the explanation. But why is that such a big thing?
