Manager is a title. Leader is a set of behaviors.

Most managers are not leaders. At minimum, they approve expense reports and check the boxes. Better ones know how to operate in an organization and detect & solve operational problems.

Leaders take a position and make their case and defend it effectively. They grow and support the people around them. And they try to improve themselves along the way by learning from the people above, below, and parallel to them. They have the trust of people around them because they earned it and reflect it.

You can be none of the above, one of the above, or - and this is special - both of the above.

And of course, none of that is static. People can improve and grow at any time.

I've built up a life around me that appears as if I make half what I do. My peers all have a second car and lots of nice luxuries that I don't. As a result I could take a job that pays half what I get now and wouldn't have to change a single thing about my life.

In 2008, at the same job, the company had instituted a hiring freeze, but we were still solidly profitable so we weren't really concerned.

In 2020, I've already taken a pay cut to help keep the business afloat (different company). Oh, well :-(

Doctors don’t enforce shortages. No one is stopping new medical schools from being created, it’s just not a trivial thing to do.

I’d actually argue that physicians haven’t yet fully grasped their power. Historically, many docs worked in independent clinics or small practice groups. That made them subject to antitrust law when teaming up to negotiate en masse against a large insurer, for example.

Today, with all of the consolidation over the past decade, many have become employees. This has made them less powerful in many ways... except, now they can unionize without any of those old antitrust concerns.

Self-taught, 16 years software development experience, been working at a hands-on principal/architect level, seeking similar. Polyglot - willing to jump tech stacks for the right job. Super fast learner.
I'm old enough that I went through both, but I've been lucky in both instances.

2000: Moved to San Jose that summer (my first job) to "make it big" at a friend's email startup. The crash hit a few months later. I was lucky enough that the company stuck around for a few years, and I moved to the midwest in 2003 where it was cheaper.

2009: Savings cut in half, I looked a long time for a new job, and ended up moving back to San Jose to get one. I put most of my remaining savings into the only house I could afford (which was barely livable), but it seemed like the only chance I'd get to own real estate in California. I ended up not liking my new job, but I couldn't afford to quit. After a long search, I was able to switch into a much better job, and I lived pretty well for about 4 years in San Jose before once again moving back to the midwest.

Everyone else has covered the basics of handling these difficult circumstances, but to reiterate:

1. Try to have some savings.
If things have looked good for a long time, get conservative with your money. I neglected to do this before the 2008 crisis, and lost much more of my savings than I should have. On the other hand, coming out of a crash can be a great time to invest.

2. Be frugal and flexible.
Be willing to cut back your life style, and be realistic about how stable your job is, and how long you can live without it. Be willing to move to take opportunities, or take up a different line of work if needed.

3. Keep up with and help out the people you know. Band together with your friends and family.

4. This too shall pass.
I'm worried this current crisis will be the worst I've seen, but even if that's true we'll eventually get through it.

Best of luck to everyone out there.

If you have a good linear model for your system you can pull out an LQR. It does not account for how bad your linearization of the true dynamics might be.

Also from my experience you still need to tune the Q and R the same amount that you would P I and D. and I'm not convinced that it is strictly better at all. In industry at least PID absolutely dominates.

It's also important to realize that just because the LQR is derived by solving an optimization problem, that doesn't mean it gives you the best possible gains for whatever you want. You got the optimal controller to minimize a quadratic cost you made up for a linearized approximation of your system.

Iterative design (guess and check) is absolutely still the state of the art for control design, and using an LQR does not escape that.

While it has nothing directly do do with init, there is a lot of cooperation that goes on between systemd and systemd-boot, that does not work with other grub for example.

You can from systemd control the reboot and tell it what to reboot and stuff like that. Lennards talks about this are quite informative.

The other advantage it has, is that it uses a simple single file per OS based standard. I would love if GRUB adopted this model too.

We're all just guessing based on partial evidence, but every time I've mentioned that people should talk up more in meetings, it has had nothing to do with their leadership skills. It's always been as part of a discussion about how they need to try to understand the bigger picture. Being able to describe your designs, and being able to articulate alternate designs, is a very important part of software development. If OP is the kind of dev who gets lost and can't contribute when the discussion becomes abstract, that's an important skill to be lacking.

And let's be honest, lots of people with 15 years experience really have 1 year of experience 15 times. It's really hard to guess at the situation based on no evidence, but I can easily see both sides here.

Ask HN: What avenue should I use to find help to fight Covid
Hello All!! I recently decided to share my app for free (will be SaaS) to medical equipment companies that are in the fight against this virus.

The MVP was outsourced since I'm code inept. When hospitals start using it, I'm not sure I can maintain it and keep it from crashing. The testing I have done seems like it works great but its an n of 3. I am a one-man band with no revenue at the moment. I did post it on LinkedIn along w/ a request for help.

Any other ideas on where I can find more tech savvy people like y'all?

The idea behind sharing it is that most of the equipment is repaired by specialist. This requires a phone call but the call centers are already falling behind. PLUS as more shelter in place restrictions and operators get sick it will slow the system even more. My app sends an email with images of anything broken or error codes and its sent directly to the repair company.

Happy to answer any other questions.

Thank you!!
Tracy

Good Apps Behaving Badly: Zoom macOS Installer
A good meeting should generally be transmitting information effectively or driving to a decision. If a meeting is unable to do that, it should be stopped.

Stopping a meeting in the middle of the planned duration is a bit dramatic, but if it’s clear after 15 minutes the group collectively doesn’t have the information needed to make a decision, its worth stopping.

I’m currently spending a quarter of my day or more in status meetings of various types. I will absolutely tell people I’m dropping (which is a the “lite” version of stopping a meeting) if they stop providing value.
+1 this is no fun.
"Fired" and "laid off" are two different things entirely. OP was laid off, not fired, and I think it's reasonable to assume that the pandemic was the immediate cause of having to cut staff. There's really no way to give several clear warnings about that.
You need to downgrade Zoom to 4.6.7: https://github.com/CatxFish/obs-virtual-cam/issues/78
I've never heard of the Zoom app until about three weeks ago and now I'm reading something about it here on HN almost every day. Why is this company and their app suddenly so popular and so critiqued? I thought the world was Skype, FaceTime, WebEx, that whole cluster of technologies and related applications. Why are the Zoom folks suddenly on the front page everywher?
What an original joke. Congratulation.
I was wondering who that was. And the Weapon of Choice video is on my short list of "You have to see this" videos for people who never have. (Others? Psy Gangnam Style of course. Another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bioYs6oAD8g This week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TDZblKESZk)

Also, it took me way too long to realize that that was shot in Westwood Village.
I'm a different person, no sure why you're attacking me here.
Can you elaborate slightly? This is interesting.
Well, here's a dissenting opinion by Pai from several years ago where he opposes unlicensed usage of UHF white space spectrum. https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-15-68A2.pd...

The cynic in me notes that unlicensed, Mhz-range spectrum would have been a game changer and created a serious challenge to incumbent cellphone and broadband companies. Unlike Mhz spectrum, the 5Ghz spectrum he mentions (as an alternative) in that old opinion and the 6Ghz spectrum in the recent notice is limited to private usage within a building. You can't do anything long range, not even from down the block--at least not in a commercially viable way. Using unlicensed Mhz spectrum you could provide competitive broadband directly from the street (if not further), removing all the expense of leasing or running wires to people's homes or paying extremely costly fees to incumbent cellphone companies.

I reconsider what I said about dissonance: there is none. His past and current positions are consonant with the view that rivalrous spectrum usage is best resolved by auctioning private property rights in spectrum--the classic Coase approach. By effectively being limited to within structures, 6Ghz spectrum isn't rivalrous even from a person in Pai's perspective.

Note: I went to George Mason Law school which has a faculty that's extremely active in the FCC spectrum debate, and I know Pai is intellectually (and in some cases personally) friendly with some of that faculty. The faculty are vehement advocates for private spectrum auctions. I've had more than one intense debate advocating for more unlicensed spectrum usage and none of them were the least bit kind to that approach. But that was 10 years ago; perhaps opinions have softened since then.
Does it have the advanced features present in Zoom? At my $WORKPLACE we use the Spotlight feature so to ensure everyone is watching the right person (fairly important as we have lots of Deaf people and they all need to be watching the person signing) and Breakouts to set up discussion groups. While we don't have 100+ participants, we do have up to 25 active participants with lots of turn-taking (and not e.g. 100 watching 1 stream). Other platforms we tried didn't have these and made it difficult for participants especially those who aren't great with tech. Also helps Zoom seems to work well with video—other platforms we tried were great for audio so fine if you just need to listen to people but woeful with video making it a no go for meetings involving people who use sign language.

>Yesterday, the President admitted on Fox & Friends that voter suppression benefits Republicans.

That's somewhat of a generalization but the saying goes the other way too. Republicans only want to make more rich people and democrats only want to make more poor people. Only poor people vote democrat, hence they have to pander to that crowd. The irony being, no poor person is ever made rich under a democrat's rule. If there were no poor people or immigrants, there'd be no democratic party.
