An Amazon Review Analysis
I don't think it fits with the narrow focus mentioned here.
Everyone is a leader implies a more flat organization, this isn’t that. This is just talking about effectively delegating and having layers of organization within a team. Ie manager splits up the projects to project teams and a project leader and the leader with the team gets autonomy to run the project their own way with mentoring.

I think it’s a good approach and for me at least orders of magnitude better than top down micromanagement. But the title I think just confuses things.

Imagine that instead of “leaders” the smaller projects were their own teams and replace the leader with manager title and it’d be the same thing.

EDIT: btw I see the lack of clarity around accountability play out at organizations. Where for instance on practice responsibility is split. Maybe the “leaders” set the direction and the team executed. But when it comes to accountability, like when something goes wrong, fingers get pointed to only the team or only the leaders without examining which piece (direction vs execution) failed.
> But in the only case I can recover my registrar was reliable, so why didn't I just have them do DNS as well?

Because they have just proved being uncapable of doing it? Because redundancy? Because you shouldn't keep all your eggs in the same basket.

I've been self hosting for at least 15 years and did not have any huge problems like the domain becoming non resolvable. I would never host my DNS on my registrar's infrastructure. It's being sloppy and lazy and it gets you embarassed.
Hot or Not had a matching feature? I legitimately never knew this.

Then again I only spent enough time on the site to grok “ok this exists” and never going back.
I did the same after getting tired of NC's DNS interface. I host a few client sites with Netlify[1] anyways and moving over to their DNS (NS1) has been a breath of fresh air. It is free but they do have some paid options and the is UI dead simple which should be a requirement. Feel fairly confident I can rely on them to not muck up DNS records as this is critical to mail systems, websites, etc.

Two years ago there was a moment where I was close to working for them too so I always try to use their products where I see fit. :)

It presumes a definition of "responsible" that suits the interests of vendors and treats the safety of end-users as an externality, in such a way that anyone operating in good faith and responding to different legitimate incentives is by definition "not" disclosing "responsibly". It's a linguistic ploy, and not one that should be dignified.

In 2020, non-ironic use of the term "responsible disclosure" has become somewhat of a "tell" that the person speaking isn't super connected to vulnerability research.

As for the second, the point is not to have a specificition on the human side. Most of the time when communicating with others we don't need lawyers, and spoken contracts are valid and by law. Even with lawyers contracts can be disputed in court as there is not a formal definition of every exact scenario.

The definition of a monoid here is not the usual definition, is a new definition for the special case of a strict category as defined MacLane's Book Categories for the Working Mathematicean. Since you maybe thinking about composition of endofunctors and unit endofunctors you get a confused picture. The monad as a monoid in the category of endofunctors is a way to show that you can confuse people using two different definition of an usual concept and both give different results. I got this from (1), look for "main confusion": monoid in the category of endofunctors is defined in a new way, and is not the expected monoid in the set of all endofunctors.

The definition of monoid in monomial categories is on page 166 and Monads in a category are on page 133. As a math person I know what is a monoid (usual term) but I did not know what is a monoid in a monomial category (well I know now because is on page 166 of the book).

Wow, this is a really terribly-written article. You'd imagine a company that had been around for 20 years would have a sense of professionalism or something. When someone is able to pinpoint your exact political alignment and the news outlets you read from a corporate blog post, you're probably doing something wrong.

Then again, the guy links to his book (with a subtitle of "Protect Yourself from Deplatform Attacks, Cancel-Culture and other Online Disasters" no less) at the end of the post, so this was probably intentional.

I share more or less the same political views as him, but this is ridiculous.

The common cold can be caused by a corona virus, but not this corona virus. They are different enough that this particular corona virus may or may not cause people to have mild, common cold like symptoms but so far there is very little evidence for that. To suggest that they are similar other than in structure is, frankly, ridiculous.

So no, this is not 'essentially the cold with a new name'. Stop spreading bullshit, if you manage to convince people of this and they end up having symptoms you might get them killed or avoid care/quarantine.

You are roughly equating being hit by a truck vs being hit by a bicycle because 'both have wheels' and therefore the impact is the same. The genetic payload is new to us and the result of exposing our immune system to a new virus (even though it is structurally similar to another virus) is what it is all about. The only reason the cold has as little impact as it does is because we have been exposed to it and small variations on it for a long time. Our immune systems 'know' the signature of the common cold virus by now. If our immune systems would recognize the new virus using the same mechanism you wouldn't need improvised ICU's for thousands of people.

Anyway, after this:

This is historicism. For example, the idea that, because compilers have eliminated most hand-optimization, that process will inexorably continue, moving further up the chain of abstraction until "trivial programming" has been eliminated. The author thinks he's derived some law of historical progress. Along these lines, many smart people have predicted the "end of labor" since at least Marx.

I think that predicting the future is hard and most people are better off "optimizing local minima".

Unit tests operate in the same domain and constraints as formal methods. In terms of correctness formal methods beat unit tests hands down.

For things that live outside of this domain the term integration test becomes relevant. If you are testing for unknown side effects it is no longer a unit test but an integration test.

This is not my point.

Unfortunately I can't go into detail about my point because it's just too long to talk about. I glossed over it and called it "Programming methodology."

In the context of correctness, with the right programming methodology, programming language and type checker you can use this and your intuition alone to forego the need for unit tests. This does not apply to integration tests.

Anyway without going in to deep the right programming methodology involves reducing complexity. It's similar to how if a programming doesn't have nulls you can't have runtime errors caused my nulls. If you use the right programming language or right methodology you can reduce much of the complexity of the program to the point where unit tests are redundant to your intuition.

Another good example of a language that pulls this off is Rust or Haskell. You don't have to go as far as COQ but the previous two languages force you into a methodology that ensures correctness to a degree that many unit tests become redundant.

Andreessen-Horowitz craps on “AI” startups from a great height
There is a spectrum though between the leader taking all the accountability and team members taking all the accountability. The leader can be accountable for pointing in the right direction and providing sufficient resources while the team members can be accountable for the execution.

Reality is no single person is going to know enough to solely be responsible for everything. A manager of a sizable team is not going to know the details enough to know the right approach for everything.

I’m a big fan of providing context to team members and having a dialog instead of just delegating everything top down. But in this kind of environment accountability can still be made clear.

If an interview process takes lots of time, it will automatically exclude a lot of candidates, even really good ones. Ironically companies that claim to want only the best will manage to lose quite a few of those people.

Even if someone is a star, if they have a job (and life outside of work) they can’t realistically spend lots of time on interviews.

You can’t really apply to just one job at a time, either. That’s why almost any friction is unreasonable: across job postings, every cover letter, phone call, online coding test, homework assignment and fly-out interview adds up to a lot. (And that’s before you consider sites that require you to create special accounts only for them, and retype half of your résumé into their forms.)

I’d expect many people to strongly prefer the first reasonable offer they see, rather than wait months and risk being rejected anyway.
Thank you for writing such a detailed response. I appreciate it as someone who had interviews with Google 2 times (first one pass phone but failed onsite, the second one failed on phone but that was primarily because I wasn't in a good condition mentally during that time so that was on me).

I've heard and witnessed a couple people that I know who actually got into roles at Google (also FB, Amazon) but were not technically strong (yes they interviewed as SWE). I did ask what kinds of questions they got and it seemed that they did not get hard questions. This range from L3 to L5 and I was quite shocked.

This makes me believe that FAANG seeks something else as well rather than pure DS&A skills. I don't know what those are, but can you give me pointers?

(I failed one Google onsite, one Google phone, one Amazon onsite, and now currently will face a FB phone interview)

Hiring good offshore developers directly as remote employees is a much better option, in my experience.

It requires more up front work to identify, hire, and retain the remote employees, but you need far fewer developers when you can appeal to the best developers who know what they're doing.

This doesn't work if your company has any attachment to headcount, though. It can be a tough sell to hire 3 remote employees for the price of a cheap team of 10 from an outsourcing firm if your company only looks at the numbers.
> when you start considering the revenue saved by mitigating the projected costs of climate change

According to Nat Geo, it costs us billions per year. However those “billions” include damage from storms, and suggesting that damage from storms is because of human caused climate change is very disingenuous— that’s suggesting that “stopping” climate change will also stop expensive storms, which is completely denying that destructive storms existed for as long as there has been an earth. So which storms are CO2 caused, and which aren’t? Which highly destructive storms would have occurred anyway but their dollar costs are high because of where people choose to live as opposed to the actual intensity of the storm.

My point is that attributing storm costs to human-caused climate change is simplistic and misleading because we would need some baseline to determine which storms would not have existed if it weren’t for human CO2. That delta is what the real savings would be, not just the raw number. But getting that number is almost impossible because we would have to accept the argument that the climate has always changed so when would we start measuring to get our “pre-CO2” storm destruction baseline.

The article is assuming facts not entered into evidence.

The problem with climate activism is that it has become economic activism of a certain political stripe rather than actual environmentalism. Otherwise why try to move the mountain of capitalism and instead focus on attainable and politically non-controversial (mostly) goals such as keeping benzene out of the water, preventing of overfishing, or ending toxic waste dumping. When climate activists suggest solutions and nuclear power isn’t one of them, then I stop listening — because it becomes clear it isn’t about the climate anymore. When climate activists suggesting taxing Americans and Europeans more but never mention tariffs against China or India or other highly polluting countries, then it’s clear they aren’t after fixing the problem of climate, but fixing what they perceive to be a problem with capitalism. They’ll tax some car driver in California, but ignore the container ships of goods at the Port of Long Beach filled with Chinese goods made under some of the most polluting conditions on earth.

Want to reduce CO2? Start creating policies that favor domestic businesses and reduce reliance on places like China or India for consumer goods.

But let’s not try to argue fiscal conservatism using “savings” based on misleading economic costs that aren’t legitimately quantified. They are either “projected” or just completely made up.
Not a fanboy, still downvoted your post because it's incredibly whiny and does not contribute anything.

Sorry, but that comment is noise. Mine is too, but hopefully it helps you see things more clearly rather than let you pat yourself on the back thinking "HN is full of fanboys anyway".

Well, it's also a problem of device manufacturers dropping support for devices too quickly. There are still android 4.1 devices sold on amazon, and you really can't expect web developers to support that.

The manufacturer should be required to support it for the full lifetime of the device. Especially since your mom uses it to order stuff, which usually includes some pretty security sensitive information. I think you are putting the burden on the wrong party.

> The way to achieve that is to hire pragmatic, goal-oriented people. (Or at the very least put them in charge.) And that group rarely intersects with the type of people fascinated by the mathematical properties of the type system.

I wouldn't say it rarely intersects - I'm one and I've worked with plenty. And I've seen plenty with strength in one join a production Haskell shop and pick up the other (in both directions!)

Haskell definitely gives you a lot to help manage the messiness you mention. You have to have know-how and awareness to do it, but it can help like none other.

But overall, stuff like this is why I wish to eventually become as independent as I can manage in my career. The intersection of Haskell and management thinking is frequently a bad faith shitshow in my experience, so the sooner I can start creating on my own terms, the better. The best part about Haskell is how little effort I exert solving problems compared to my comparable experience in Go, Python, Java. A perfect match for personal creation.

Bitcoin: Making Money Using Stock to Flow
It's a complicated story but basically the current high market valuations within my industry are giving certain unproductive individuals and organizations a lot of power and allowing them to waste a lot of money without any consequence.
If valuations collapsed, it would level the playing field and productive projects would finally be able to get attention from users and investors.

My industry is severely impacted by filter bubbles so investors and customers often don't realize that much better, cheaper, more efficient solutions exist and some of these investors may even intentionally turn a blind eye because the market doesn't seem to care that the incumbents are wasting millions.

The industry has become so detached from value creation that market caps seems to fluctuate randomly and not affected by any decision or any activity of market participants. My industry is quite an extreme (and obvious) case, but I feel that the rest of the economy is in a similar state.

A lot of investors and users are focused on unproductive incumbents and completely missing the real innovation which is happening because of the noise that the incumbents create.
