I think the big point is that developers should trust you. One of the best ways to achieve that is to participate in coding a little. My experience says the architect should avoid the critical coding and focus an quality topics. For example, style unification or linter fixes.

A corollary is that you also need the trust of other stakeholders.

For managers I'd say you need to communicate confidently and deliver. The trick with delivering is to lower expectations early.

It depends on the organization what other stakeholders there are. That is a good separate point actually: Know your stakeholders. Make a list and ask them about their expectations.
Intellicode is an extension add on from Microsoft. It's not default in VS Code. It doesn't look like they're making a distinction here.
I used to build PHP-backends for 15 years, but for the last few years I’ve switched to Haskell for exactly this reason.

"Thinking, Fast and Slow" was pretty underwhelming to me given the hype. There's much better stuff out there if you're interested in cognitive biases, behavior, etc.
Yes, and that is why Uber has been on a cost-cutting crusade since it went public.
Not an easy book to read, but very interesting ideas. I've put it down twice after trying to get through it, but do plan on eventually finishing it.

There is a Philosophize This! episode which is quite a good introduction to Baudrillard's ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCgoKIT0Ufc&t=109s

"slams" is a particular tabloid word as well. I don't think ever seen it used outside of a headline.
While I understand it is a business like many others, it'd be genuinely nice if GrubHub would stop airing their "restaurants are our family"/"support local restaurants" advertisements.

If we really want to support local restaurants (and give them better chances of post-COVID survival), we should do exactly as stated above: call in to order directly.

Do not give GrubHub, Uber Eats, and similar services a large portion of your order total just for being an easy-to-use middleman. The vast majority of restaurants around today are capable of processing payments and handling pickup/delivery themselves.

While these restaurants fight to stay alive in unprecedented times, the least we can do is put in a bit more effort for an order of food we would have placed and paid for anyway.
Hmmm, is it theoretically possible to sign the Windows bootloader (?) with your own custom keys to ensure that someone couldn't just fire up a stock Windows image? Though I'm not sure what sort of management challenges that would present if Microsoft ever decided to update their bootloader.

Looking at the Microsoft documentation, doing this with SecureBoot could be pretty complicated: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/br...
Does GrubHub have much of a presence outside of the US?

As someone from the UK I've never heard of them (Deliveroo is everywhere here along with Uber Eats).
The visceral sensation of seeing something big can only be produced by a live viewing: think of seeing the grand canyon live vs seeing a photo of it, even a very high quality one.

I had a contrasting experience with Hesse. Narcissus and Goldmund was really influential on me. It made me realize that life doesn't have to be about buying stuff and fucking the same woman for the rest of my life. It drove me to travel and experience many things. Through that process I gained perspective you just can't get by being stuck in an office working so you can buy shit you don't need, most of the time advancing the subliminal competition your wife is in with her girlfriends.
In a technical sense, yes. But there is definitely social value in having a system that is in principle auditable by (almost) everyone. An open source voting machine would still be only auditable by the small minority of people who can read code.
I don't think I agree. Anecdotally based on what was happening at companies I worked at which used Go, I think the main reason for its success was Google cargo-culting.
Seven cents or lockdown – graphics and studies on C-19 (and Vitamin D)
The statement is sound: Inequality will always exist. But this worsens it because people with remote jobs earn more money by luck: they happened to pick the right job for a pandemic. Just like being born into a rich family means you will be rich without having to ever work for it, or even consider it.

The deeper question is: how does a civilized society respond to this? By saying: "You die now, loser, LOLZ", or through years of sufficient planning and preparation for emergency situations like this?

Personally, I think as a society we are long past the "die now loser" phase, and can definitely supply resources to even-out this temporary dip for the most impacted. However, I'm from the US, and 40% of the country wants to shoot me for believing anything but bootstraps and social darwinism.

Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut was probably the most recent one for me. I guess the book in its entirety is probably fairly mild by modern sci-fi comparisons, but without wanting to spoil anything there is a certain species in the book whose outlook on life immediately changed my perspective of reality.

> you absolutely can face criminal charges which can include a prison sentence.

You can (the chance is not 0), but the chances are very rare based on recent historical SEC enforcement actions. I'm not advocating for securities fraud, I'm expressing the observation of lax enforcement by the SEC.

"When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."

Churning out engineers as fast as possible and pressuring everyone to become one despite lack of interest just guarantees you will churn out astronomical numbers of crappy engineers.

And I hate to say it... but it possibly creates unintentional racial bias in interviewers because the sheer volume of crappy engineers being churned out from [Indian/Chinese/etc. universities] has preconditioned you to think all engineers from [Indian/Chinese/etc. universities] are crappy, which couldn't be further from the truth.
I’ll chime in from the perspective of nursing. Desk nurses are the minority and are often the “holy grail” of the profession for people looking for better work-life balance.

Acute care employs the majority of RNs with less acute facilities (long-term care, community care) more likely to employ LPNs and unregulated care providers.

Half-jokingly, I’d love to join a start-up developing a remote work nurse-robot.
The foundations of peoples' beliefs are not tied to logic or truth, it is tied to time, effort, character and way of life.

Any change in belief that will influence their way of life will raise psychological shields. People will very readily change their logic to maintain a belief if that meant preserving other other aspects of their lives that they have put time and effort into.

This book is written for people who already understand the true nature of science and religion. I highly doubt it can convert people, I have yet to find a technique or even a book that has the ability to do so. It's just the way people are...

Whenever you see someone convert from religion to science most of the time the underlying foundations of it had nothing to do with logical realization and more to do with some form of minor or major trauma.

If you experienced a conversion to science from religion and you yourself describe the experience as a "logical realization" I would argue that you probably weren't that invested in the religion in the first place OR that there was some associated trauma that coincided with the "logical realization."
The major theme in the fountainhead is integrity to ones personal convictions and artistic craft and has almost no direct reference to conservative politics.

This also amuses me as Trump is pretty far from the Greenspan/Rand economic perspective too.

> a matrix is just the representation of a linear transformation

While this view certainly helps intuition at initial stages of learning, it is not "just" that, and computational methods involving matrices are of much more practical importance (similar to being able to add and multiply numbers which we are taught early in life) which is probably why the stress is on them first and foremost. Someone said, "learn to calculate, understanding will come later."

Uber stock is quite liquid. I would certainly be willing to entertain offers of pure stock compensation for publicly traded companies.
Very cool that the Logic Remote apps can actually be used for triggering sounds and performance now with the Live Loops as opposed to only being useful for mixing / engineering.

I despise having computers in front of me when in the zone, but somehow iPads and iPhones don’t bother me. This allows setting up in a different room and going to town.

I always preferred Cat's Cradle.
It's applied pretty much everywhere. Most numerical problems have some linear algebra component to them. Physics uses it a lot too. A lot of non-linear problems have a linearization on which you can use linear algebra to obtain approximations. Ideas from linear algebra are used a lot in things like signal processing, quantum mechanics, etc.
I attempted to read this book some years ago, the writing is very nearly incomprehensible.

Life changing more than mind bending: The Charisma Myth. Only reading it won't change anything, but start practicing the exercises and your whole life will change, and quickly. If you just want to get a taste, see below.

Three quick tips to gain an instant charisma boost:

1. Lower the intonation of your voice at the end of your sentences.

2. Reduce how quickly and how often you nod.

3. Pause for two full seconds before you speak.

From this summary: https://github.com/benigeri/books/blob/master/The%20Charisma...

Those tips are in the introduction of the book so you can see if it works for you and decide if you want to continue reading the rest.

Personally, when I started doing only those 3 things, weird things happened that completely changed the behavior of other people towards me and then how I felt about other people. Worth a try.

Agreed. Currently on the internet, adding a cost or computing barrier is the best alternative to a KYC process in deferring bot activity.
I agree with the idea that you should take most seriously the decisions that will be hardest to undo.

However, using a database abstraction layer in this way is counter to optimizing for simplicity, and in a way is not making a decision at all.

If you are using a database abstraction layer so thoroughly that you really can switch between different database implementations, then you are almost certainly not leveraging the strengths of any underlying database engine to begin with. So you are limiting your performance, at the same time as introducing complexity.

> As a positive, if I were 20 years older I'd probably have started working in cubicles, which have all the negatives of an open office but without any natural sunlight.

Having worked in an environment that was essentially 'medium sized rooms with sizable cubicles', I would MUCH prefer that over open-office. In one environment I found particularly effective, cubicles were about 2m x 2m, with separator walls that were around 1.5m tall. This was great for reducing chatter and visual distraction, and offering a modicum of privacy, but readily enabled 'gophering' discussions and impromptu technical discussions. The cubicle walls allowed just enough friction to noticeably minimize social chatter while not preventing fruitful organic discussions.

Granted, this was in a nice building, with tons of windows and natural light. On the other end, I've worked in a cubicle-farm call center that had 'cubicles' that were really just shoulder-width dividers on long tables, all crammed into deep, dark cavernous office space. Having only suffered temporary exposure to open office environments, still not sure which I'd pick if given the choice, but it was definitely not a pleasant work experience/environment.

Guess point being, not all cubicles/cubicle environments are created equally, so at least for me, preferences are about more than just seating arrangement.
I don't think the market for "gig economy" is stable & mature enough to read anything like that from the delivery companies P&L. How much are they spending on expansion and various turf wars?

It's also pretty clear that delivery as a function doesn't scale linearly with check value...

Not really, I didn't follow any specific guide. But if you like learning from youtube videos Casey Muratori has some decent streams about this stuff on his Handmade Hero channel. The 3Blue1Brown channel also has some relevant videos.

If you've never written a standalone software-rendered ray tracer, I found that to be a very useful exercise early on. There are plenty of tutorials for those on the interwebs.
Have fun taking your chances on that.
I do recommend reusable silicone Sous Vide bags. You cannot vacuum seal them directly, but you can submerge them in water to drive the air out. You can also place them inside a vac bag, pump down, press the seal close, and then remove them from the vac bag.
I'd read it as saying that the important structure formation happens in the first second or so of the mixing, so if you have to put the jug down, pick up a fork, and start to mix it, you'll be damaging that structure.

Whoa. I wasn't trying to be snarky; if anything it was intended to be a humorous jab at how "computation is data" is such a thing in the lisp community.

I agree that your example illustrates the "computation is data" concept; I was just reconciling that with the apparent contradiction ("computation rather than data") earlier in your post.

I wasn't trying to call "gotcha" on you or anything; sometimes I say things that are unclear and I appreciate it when others help me clarify.
The reverse is true too. Kids have different responses depending on which parent is present and if both are present.
Hi there, thanks for the question.

IntelliCode has a similar vision but uses much simpler models. IntelliCode can essentially give you to the top 5 attributes for a global type.

Kite uses statistical models which are orders of magnitude larger and richer, both in terms of the context they understand and the sophistication of the completions provided.

Here is a good example from the blog post:

var server = express(); server.

IntelliCode returns:

use, set, get, listen

Kite's first completion is

use(bodyParser.json

(bodyParser is defined earlier in the file.)

Finally, IntelliCode only returns completions for attributes (foo.) whereas Kite returns deep learning completions in all the places they are useful.
Ask HN: What model of “dumbphone” should I buy?
I have noticed that my phone has helped foster multiple negative habits in my life that I wish to change. I tried blocker apps, but they haven't been as effective as I want. Therefore, I have decided to downgrade my phone in the hopes that I won't be so tempted to engage in these unproductive behaviors and my habits will improve.

Could someone suggest a model of dumbphone for me? Really the only features I need are texting and phone calls. GPS would be a bonus.
I was going to mention this. TabNine supports more languages, how does Kite's product differ?
Care to ctrl-f for “weaker” in your citation (which doesn’t even say what you claim) and paste the sentences immediately after?

Here, let me help you:

It should also be a possibility that they're [women] actually stronger performers in tech (I bet you reached for the down arrow before getting to that sentence). Pretending everyone must have equal ability and 50% of executives and 50% of programmers should be women doesn't get us anywhere.

Obviously, [3] doesn’t even come close to approaching what you’re claiming I said.

But you could not have accidentally proven my point any better if you tried, so thanks!

I’ve had enough experience in these arguments to know that this will likely fall on deaf ears, but to restate my point in simpler terms:

The probability that the natural distribution (as in, free from bias or cultural influences) for any profession would be perfectly 50/50 across gender lines is approximately zero.

For those who don’t understand what an average is, this says nothing about the ability of any individual, and says nothing about whether men or women are better or worse for any given role.

In America at least, the term is mostly used for anime / manga that matches the category. This is the first time I've seen the term applied to video games. Most video games have conflict, and conflict is stress.

However, there are many video games that have Iyashikei elements. Even the quintessential "save the world epic" Final Fantasy has Iyashikei elements. With FF-VII Cloud Strife playing video games at the Golden Saucer, or FF-XV having a road-trip with bros. Some of the most celebrated parts of the games are Iyashikei, the low-stress parts of the game that were in-between the battle sequences.

Leaving Square/Enix for a second... there's also Nintendo's "Fire Emblem" series. The characters always talk about their personal life. And the player plays matchmaker, trying to get different characters to talk with each other, to discover their personalities. The most recent Fire Emblem: Three Houses, has an entire School-simulator where you set up the curriculum of your students.

Almost all Japanese stories seem to have a part where Iyashikei comes out to destress the main character (and the player).

So the question is, are you interested in games with Iyashikei elements (which IMO, includes almost all Japanese games worth talking about...), or are you interested in games that solely are Iyashikei? The genre exists on a spectrum, from games like Animal Crossing (mostly Iyashikei), to Atelier Sophie (More Iyashikei than not), to Fire Emblem / Final Fantasy ("save the world" epic plot lines, that visit Iyashikei at certain parts of the plot).
This. Dune is a self-contained masterwork. The rest... not so much.
In the French revolution every one think it was mainly the aristos that went to the Guillotine.

In fact most of the deaths happened out in the countryside, Infernal Columns, Revolutionary Weddings (masss drownings of clergy) and the Revolt in the Vendee.
I've been a heavy Seamless user for a few years. I recently started only browsing on Seamless, and then once I decide, I go find that restaurant's ChowNow or other private hosted page and order directly. I've found on average I get better service, lower prices, and actually better quality food in some cases, where it seems like they made it fresh and sent it right away, instead of the meal sitting in an "uber eats" type car for an hour and getting cold. And, I really only have a "pool" of like, max, 12 restaurants or something. Once I make an account and put my credit card in on each site, it's exactly as easy as Seamless to go back and re-order my favorites at each place with a few clicks.
