The most interesting aspect of this playbook IMO is the cartoon. Using 1-1 to bring up promotions.

When employees ask for promotions:

good managers know how to harness this ask with clear, manageable, attainable goal setting and delivering on the promise. Most employees are also not beyond solid transparent reasoning. Average managers get into a defensive mode

If anything good managers are like high-performance coaches, they understand your motivations and channel your energy. The reality is most companies promote people into management roles by picking people like them.

As a counter test, watch out to see if a newly promoted manager starts talking and acting (in subtle nonconscious ways) like their manager or the real power in the organization. Examples include - Working hours, decision making, predictable agreeability and even hobbies etc.
It's not a zero-sum game. The consumer benefits by not having to spend their time doing research and configuring routers they buy themselves.

If there is sufficient margin in installing and configuring routers for individual consumers, then why are there not competing businesses which do specifically this? Have you not identified a market gap?

Perhaps the margins are actually quite low, and it's not really a business, but just an extra revenue stream for an existing business model - providing the internet connection.

Most consumers are happy to pay the money simply because they want convenience, and also, because they're getting "credit," by paying off the router in instalments rather than a lump sum.
They couldn’t because they’re a public utility in this situation.

Does this have anything to do with 21 being a significant age? I understood that from 18 in the U.S. you were legally an adult but there seemed to be a bit of a blurry period up to 21. That seems less of a thing in the UK.

Hey, I'm the creator of this little yet very helpful script. You can install it with pip3 install preloadify.
If you have any questions I'm here to answer them.

The basic idea is:
preloadify yourbinary yourbinaryinfat

The fat binary contains all dynamic libraries required for yourbinary to run on any Linux system. Even the ld.so. You can move binaries between distros easily and even to embedded systems or other systems without gnu libc or their own ld.so.

You need to have patchelf installed for this to work.

In general,1 modem per year dies on me. The rep considers that normal. Now these things run hot, so one year I put a timer in there so it was only powered on when I was home and not sleeping. 6 months and 4 modems later, I decided to remove the timer.
> Heat rises.

Warmer air is less dense / more buoyant; so it floats.

- Water ice floats because – somewhat uniquely – solid water is less dense than liquid water.

Probably.

For me calling into their help desk, sitting on hold for fifteen minutes, having to go through all of the remedial "turn it off and on again" steps I've already tried for half an hour before finally getting someone to replace the stupid thing is way worse than just fixing it myself or running out to the store and picking up a new one.

Or being stuck with the one with the absolute shit WiFi that constantly crashes if you have more than 25 connections running at once or more than 5 devices because the manufacturer wanted to save $0.05 and undersized the working memory on the box and sourced the knockoff WiFi chipset with buggy drivers.

If only AT&T did it that way. Instead, the fiber terminates at an ONT, which has an ethernet port and that connects to their router.

AT&T's network uses 802.1x authentication and the client certs are burned into ROM on the router.

The router has a crappy passthru mode where it gives your own device the external IP and sends any traffic to it, but under the hood it maintains its own (rather small capacity) NAT table for all the traffic. There's not a real bridge mode.

Some more technically inclined folks have come up with solutions like a proxy that just forwards 802.1x traffic to the router so it can respond, or rooting the AT&T box and pulling the certs out of ROM so you can use them to auth on your own network device.

Right. Aside from 'files' and 'bytes', the metrics are just the result of running shell commands specified in a config file. In this case it's `jq '.items | length' $PARCEL_PATH`, i.e., parse the file and print the length of the attribute named "items".

Obviously, that won't catch all potential problems in the file, but it's a low-effort way to catch some.

I'm actually inclined to say that's less impressive because the model should be good at faces. On the other hand, the model doesn't seem to work when multiple people are in the picture.

Are you confusing "bandwidth" with "data"? Or are you using "bandwidth" to mean actual EM spectrum? If the former, then you might be wrong about parent's point and "bandwidth provisioning" isn't even possible in many cases anyway. There is a maximum bandwidth a given modem and location can support for cable, and if someone is already paying for it that's that. Other people will in fact be eating into that bandwidth. Which may or may not matter for many customers who aren't actually pushing it anyway, but it's a real thing (unless Comcast has a good enough prioritization implementation that the owner can always get 100% on demand, though even a rough cap on guests would be good enough to at least make sure the owner is never starved).

If the latter it's definitely an issue as well, a major complaint about it in congested areas is that it can take up the best channel itself.

I didn't say it was going to be easy or that everyone would maintain their level of income. I'm saying there will still be demand for labor.

Also, any of those service-sector jobs that have or will be lost weren't good paying either.

What is there to go outside for in your average US city? The mall? Even those were already half-dead before COVID-19.

Maybe if you live in one of the better cities there's at least a little bit of urban space that is not cookie cutter wasteland. Those places will survive.

> And Italy is still locked down for another week, at which point they’ll slowly begin reopening.

Perhaps, but in Sweden it's pretty much life as usual, in Germany the streets and parks are filled and even in Spain people are back outside. As soon as businesses reopen, people will visit them.
>This is the thing that is really the most shameful and outrageous thing about the US system. Our entire K-12 educational system and our culture is set up to paint a college degree as a ticket to "the good life". Then an 18-year-old, potentially with parents who aren't great at math but have great aspirations for their child, is sat down and asked to sign a load of papers, not realizing that this will lock them into decades of unforgiveable debt and wage slavery.

It's because one generation ago, college was a great way to access a pretty good life for most people, and was affordable on an average person's income.

I think the point of bringing this up is the price ratio between the services. If you get 80-90% off both, Oracle is still ahead.
I feel like the e-commerce inventory example isn't a great one because the problem is generally solved by avoiding it.

Either:

Set the inventory amount in your e-commerce system to be less than the actual inventory (which is rarely accurate anyway). This is your safety stock and depends on how fast moving the item is and if it's a close-out that you are really trying to sell to zero. Then just handle exceptions at allocation-time when you're able to commit stock.

Or:

Avoid a two-phase commit problem by allocating stock at add-to-cart time with a ticketing system that allows a hold to be placed with a timeout. This is a more customer friendly approach that handles stampedes better, such as caused by marketing emails.

Either way, inventory management is like banking, aiming to be eventually consistent is a lot more realistic than being always consistent.
Yeah that is something about modern war which people don't get - Blitzkrieg is downright sluggish in comparison. Manufacturing doesn't matter. Training time doesn't matter as the war is already decided by then. As tempting as non-standing armies are conceptually for being "non-corrupting" (in the when you have a hammer lots of things look like nails sense) too late even with a draft.

At the same time the occupation is still a long slog and there are nuclear deterrants and occasional non-nuclear ones like North Korea's mass of concealed artillery aimed at Seoul.

Chances are that if current manufacturing capabilities instead of stockpiles matter both sides should probably truce because both will lose. But if they both had sense they wouldn't be at war.
Very true. I spent 2 hours on the phone with Comcast once because I was using a DOCIS compliant, but non-Motorola Surfboard, modem. Something about the S/N didn't fit their forms, and it took me 2 levels of tech support before they could get it authorized and provisioned.
In this project, Blue Origin is working with Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, while Dynetics is partnered with Sierra Nevada Corp. So it makes sense that Blue Origin received a much larger chunk of money than SpaceX - they're somewhat unproven in the space, but are partnered with experienced firms that have been there before and are more likely to deliver. And SpaceX is probably going to do whatever they plan to do with or without the contract money. I'm interested in seeing what Dynetics is up to... as I'm sure are a few others.

Interesting times right now.

My heuristic is something I'll call SMS sniff test...

That's certainly a useful sniff test, and I think you've made a good case with it. I wonder, though, whether one should also consider a "documentation sniff test", asking: would it make sense to type that symbol into some documentation one is writing about how to use, for example, some software? I think the answer to that question is a clear yes: it might make sense to put this symbol onto such a page, and although being on inert paper (it wouldn't also be an active element) it would certainly be a useful symbol in that hypothetical text.

You need to be careful with caching inside models, because you want your models to reflect the current, completely up-to-date state of the application. Conceptually, the best place to do it is inside controllers, where you know when you can serve data which isn't completely up to date.

With skinny controllers, very often you have some specific places (eg service objects or similar layers) where the controller logic lives, and that is where you can do your caching.

I wouldn't rely on a confidence as a stand-in for skill. Maybe it's cultural, but I don't trust people who are extremely confident during interviews. Interviews are stressful experience, people who come across as super confident[1] are suspicious.

On the other hand I'd hire a humble person based on this single trait alone and wouldn't regret most of the time. Humility is an exceptional marker for a good coworker. The best people I interviewed knew their limits and were eager to point them out.

[1] not overconfident, i.e. claiming to know more than they obviously do

So then you sue them in order to get an injunction to restore service? But that is no longer in the realm of small claims court. That means they can bring in their corporate lawyers and tie you up in court for years. Suddenly your $900 windfall turns into a massive liability you can no longer afford.

And yet I just use Brave because it's a nice Chromium fork with actually useful built in anti-tracking tools and a focus on privacy that has been proven in detail by other people by simply sniffing network calls.

I don't use BAT (at least right now). I use Patreon which is a "rent seeker", or in other words someone providing a service for a fee for handling transactions without me having to physically go to the other person and give him money, and I find that very useful. So I don't see what the issue is with it even if I don't care about it.
While I will say that flood fill is probably too hard for a screener question, I have used it multiple times at work. Sometimes incorrectly, but knowing it helped me realize it was incorrect.

It is true that I use a hard algorithm maybe 8 times a year. But I need my coworkers to be able to understand them when we do. So that's one part of it.

Another major part is having you go into detail about complexity and tradeoffs. Believe it or not most of my co-workers can derrive these things on the fly, not memorized. Others require a little think.

The third is algorithms boil down to simple interviews where only a few things can go meta wrong. There are other types of question but they have a lot more failure modes and are even harder to train people to give.

I agree that one can learn many things in life, and that there is some level of basic knowledge and skill that's very healthy for everyone to have.

One of the cornerstones of modern society is however specialization; there simply isn't enough time to learn everything.

I'm an xfinity customer, so I am getting the benifit of their xfinitywifi program.

If they modified their program so that accessing xfinitywifi requires using your router to host one (and it was compatable with my hardware, or they offered me theirs at no additional charge), I would sign up. As it turns out, they are offering a more generous program, where people can still get the benefits even if they opt out.

You could do that already. You can compile code at runtime from binary (self modifying code) if you need or you could extract that into several dynamically compiled modules and call them based on argument.

BUT

Different versions of code in memory - that sounds like nightmare to debug. Erlang already stores two versions of newly compile code, old one for processes currently actively using that code and new one for all others. Once all processes jump to new code (by exiting from old function module or calling into new version with module:function call) old code is purged.
I have been purview to negotiations of very large deals with both GCP and AWS. Both would heavily discount compute ( to the tune of 75% ) but barely discount transfer. Since transfer grows directly with popularity and can rarely be optimized apart from moving it away from GCP and AWS and compute does not, the compute discounts on a large scale are trivial compared to getting taking to the cleaners on transfer.
Those tests aren't really about engineering skill. The interviewer is checking to see how much you want the position, how hard of a worker you are, and how smart you are.

If you really want the position, you will put a lot of effort into researching what the interview will entail.

If you're a hard worker, you will intensively study for the interview.

If you're smart, you'll be able to apply the material you studied to the problem, and you'll probably realize the game you're playing.

None of these things is about 'engineering skill', which is much more difficult to discover, and only really valuable if the person is a smart, hard worker, who sticks around.

*edit: I am not saying that I like this style of interview, and when I interview job candidates, I never engage in this type of 'test'
