No, because Stasi did not operate on a planetary level like NSA does.
I’ve found a pretty simple formula.

1. Team deeply cares about the product. Not just the tech.

2. Team deeply cares about each other and has things they deeply care about outside of work.

3. Team has a high level of skill and talent and teammates rarely have to ask for help(as opposed to suggestions / ideas).

So in a way it’s hopeless if you don’t have all three. Some people simply do not have a lot of passion for life and work and some people just don’t have enough talent and skill.

But sometimes they do and it’s the original culture they inherited that causes the problems. In that case you can fix things.

With that said, we all play with the cards we are dealt and you can still achieve great things without a high functioning team.
As a possible hack, you could rename it the soname as sqlite and put it first in the library search path. It would have to implement the same abi though.

Sigh

No - it's for people who want to Get Stuff Done&trade; and not worry about all the crap under the hood.
It depends.

Let's say you are negotiating about an offer for - say - 100,000 units (make them dollars, euros, peanuts, whatever).

How big is the competing offer?

110,000, 130,000 or 250,000 units?

You are - presumably - to be hired by someone that is ok about giving you a certain (huge) number of units in exchange for your work and - implicitly - is trusting you.

So, if you actually have a 110,000 offer letter, you should say that (and show no letter).

If you have a 130,000 offer letter, you should say that (and show no letter) but you will likely be asked to show the letter and then it depends on you whether you think that they want to see it because they will make a counter offer or they want to see it only to know who is the one that is going to spend 30% + (both imply that they don't trust you much).

If you have a 250,000 offer letter, you are not negotiating, you are losing a better job.
Very interesting... Following now :)
I think the "them" should be broader than marketing - it's easy to point the finger on the ones that write the message, but everyone was in on it.

"End to end encryption" doesn't show up in a marketing brainstorm that goes unnoticed into branding creatives. Chiefs, Management, Product Teams, marketers, engineers, product managers, everyone knew it.
> What's odd is that at some point, I managed to stumble onto the Google spreadsheet (yep) they were using to track feedback for the process. There were dozens of entries, and they were all gushing about it, like oh it was so good, and so fun! Please do more!

100%, yes.

I once took a class from someone who was, let's say, not my favorite professor. He was one of those young "fun" types. Despite being a science/engineering class in a department with a reputation for being rather tough (with the previous instructor, just retired), it was not particularly deep or rigorous. All the other students loved him because he was "cool".

At one point, we had to do a standardized Scantron survey about the course and the professor. I looked at each question and answered truthfully: "Did the professor provide a syllabus?" Easy: no. "Did the professor make it clear how you would be graded?" Haha, definite no. And so on.

Normally that's the end of it, but the next week, he was chatting with some students before class about the survey. "I think someone answered all the questions backwards just to mess with me or something. Funny!" "Yeah, that's weird, dude!"

Apparently when you're giving feedback on a popular leader, the correct response is to ignore the questions and simply give them the maximum score in every category. And when you're a popular leader reading feedback, if there's any responses that don't match this, you can safely ignore them.
Ask HN: What would be your perfect news consumption experience?

I don't know. There are so many options. I feel like many people at HN raised this problem. So, I am just curious about what would you need.

Plus, could you let me know what do you use to consume news products?

I used to love these, but with my last 2 X1 Carbons from Lenovo, I could not get the mouse to move fast enough in Ubuntu, even with all settings maxed out. I've since moved back to using trackpads.
I'm not defending being a jerk. Personally, I try to be kind in all my interpersonal interactions. However, some people are just a package deal. Call it what you want, high IQ and low EQ or whatever, but you can't just accept one part of them and try to get rid of the rest.

Also, with regards to this comment: "Valuing non-jerkiness more isn’t “negating brilliance”. Brilliant non-jerks are available."

Sure, there's no shortage of brilliant non-jerks, but sometimes the most brilliant person for a given company in a given context (by an order of magnitude) is a jerk. You have to apply first principles, systems thinking to determine whether they're right for the company or not, and whether mitigating their jerky behavior is bad for the company or not. I don't totally disagree with the article. Sometimes the measures they recommend are well-advised, and sometimes they would be misguided. I'm cautioning about the latter because it's such a common human instinct to try to cast out or sheer the black sheep. On the margins, group harmony is overrated.
As someone who did not downvote you: both points (well, one and a half) are addressed in the post itself. I bet that's why.

There’s one other big question I’d ask: how much performance has been left on the floor because people are afraid to substantially refactor old C/C++ code or, especially, make it concurrent? I would bet that the algorithmic and parallelism improvements would in many cases be far more impactful, especially on user-visible latency, than what’s hypothetically lost by switching to a safe language with modern features.
MySQL still has no transactional DDL (and I think still even autocommits if you try). This is a major difference from Postgres which I believe supports everything short of dropping tables.

General question for anyone who feels opinionated: should I be avoiding BTRFS in software Raids?

My understanding is that ZFS forces you to be a lot less flexible with which size drives you put into the array, which is what attracted me towards BTRFS in the first place. Aside from Raid 5/6 configurations, I've never had someone tell me to explicitly avoid BTRFS.

But whenever I see any articles about Raid, they're always using ZFS.

It's gotten noticeable enough to me that I'm left wondering if the general consensus is that everyone should just be using ZFS, even if that's something that I don't see spoken out loud very often.
I think you should totally track the .it TLD, it's the Italian one but works wonderfully for word plays in English (and if iirc I've seen a few websites taking advantage of it).
Some straightforward examples that come to mind would be buy.it, ship.it, design.it etc., you name(.)it ;)

Edit: also, being the Italian TLD I'm guessing quite a few English words are still available

In the case of Jobs and Gates, they were both in charge of many people and hence many people's paycheques depended on their whims.

Taleb's twitter rants are, by comparison, a lone voice pounding sand in the middle of nowhere.

I agree.

I've tried using various distros on a Lenovo T480 recently. The laptop itself is decent though the screen is a little small for my tastes. Regardless, no matter what combination of OS and hardware that I've tried, nothing holds a candle to a Macbook. I'd really like to be able to use Linux on whatever piece of hardware I want, though things like the retina display and trackpad (among other things) keep me from leaving. Macbooks are such a joy to use, which I can't say about most other hardware/software unfortunately.
"Team player" is one of those things that seems to go along with other, almost contradictory things like "self-starter" and "takes ownership".

In theory, they can be good things.

In practice, it feels like they're often just used to justify poor decisions while "blaming the victim".

If someone wasn't willing to work long hours for free to build better tooling to support the project, then she's "not a self-starter".

If someone feels strongly about using a certain tech stack or architecture on a project and doesn't just go along with the old PHP 5.x or Python 2.x stack the company has always used, then she's "not a team player".

To some extent, caring enough about your projects that you're willing to work the occasional weekend means ALSO caring enough about your project to have a say in the choices that are being made, or being unwilling to accept something as it is when you think it could be much better.

It means getting frustrated when the feedback you are presumably being paid to provide goes unacknowledged.

You can just not care, and show up, do the minimum amount of work and go home, but presumably managers don't want that out of their top tech talent.

I'm not saying traits like "team player" and "self-starter" are mutually exclusive traits, but they also have consequences. They shouldn't be code for "just do what we ask of you".

What I find a bit annoying from this article's feedback, though, is how many engineers seem happy to ALSO take these terms and weaponize them against their colleagues' opinions.

Aquarium owner here. Thinking of IoT hardware but turns out the sensor is expensive and error/breaking prone.

It's the traditional barrel power plug. It might not be standardized outside Dell, but it's standardized within Dell: the same power supply can be used for a long list of Dell laptop models (there are two power supply capacities, 65W and 90W; the list of compatible models for the 90W power supply I found at Dell's site has nearly 250 compatible laptop models).

I too had problems with their hardware and awful customer support experience, including a several weeks radio silence (a call to their hotline didn't help; in a second call I asked for the responsible manager, which resulted in me getting a status update a day later -- but still no resolution to my issues).

No, my array was fine and all drives were fine, except that one drive that was affected by a lot of bad sectors.

The scrub did exactly what it was supposed to do. Because the drive seemed fine but it was not. It would have killed my array if any of the other drives would have failed.
You know you're being dishonest here and I'm not going to engage.
You're correct in the sense that it's how things are supposed to work. However in practice, things are different. Secret interpretations of the law, which should have no more weight than mere opinions, were used to justify surveillance programs that seems outright illegal at first glance, and people got away with it.
I agree that there is probably a limited market for preinstalled Linux. Perhaps it's an option for folks who want/need Linux and don't want to deal with any of the complications that often exist for desktop use. I figure part of the allure is also that the machine is then inherently optimally compatible with Linux to begin with. I'm not sure how much that matters in practice these days though since there seems to be very few commonly used components that have poor support.

you could encrypt every record (with its individual nonce), and do the merkle tree has over the encrypted record. To erase the contents of the record, you just have to forget the encryption key.

A variation of this trick is used in block devices that offer a fast wipe. Instead of having to fill every block with a bit pattern to wipe the contents, they just have to change the current encryption key. Once that's done the device is effectively filled with random bits.
> Especially for home users and small businesses, RAID arrays are still a reliable and efficient way of storing a lot of data in a single place.

Is this really true? These are the sorts of situations where you don’t have a dedicated IT (or dedicated know-how) to avoid the sorts of “user” problems TFA assumes are at the root of many online problems.

I know I’ve always been terrified of rebuilding arrays after failures —- and it’s not just because of the remaining drives’ reliability. It’s because the tools I’ve used were really hard to use.

Can someone point me to what OLAP is? I've read the wiki page, but don't get. All the databases I have worked with are multidimenaional.(i.e. complex erp systems with 100's of tabled joined together in various ways). Granted most of my analytical work is done in R, after performing queries.

But I've never had the need for 'special sql'.

Is this 'cubes' all over? I understand cubes as basically views precalculated to perform faster on mostly to charge more?

'''UI:s can usually be made prettier (which usually just means "reflecting current design trends") while still retaining their functionality (even if it requires a complete rewrite behind the scenes).'''

Unfortunately, the one evaluating whether is looks prettier or is more usable often has career or financial goals driving the changes rather than users true interests. How many easily readable sites have changed to "prettier" fonts and light colored text on white backgrounds in the last 15 years?

I can relate, I'm in my late thirties and I hate tech. I love technology, mind you, I hate "tech", the SV culture of "we're changing the world" (when it's very often for the worse) and all the patronizing stuff Rachel describes in the article.

Sure, it's not like that in every company, but I don't really care enough to try and find one that's fun. I'd rather hang out with my family, and make outlandish devices and services I'd like to use.

Well in my opinion you should create something that helps yourself (!) - not others. Think of your all day life - some things you do pretty often and try to find a project, that really would help you. If there already is a great open source project for your purpose (and probably there is), you could try to get part of it... improve things... read code (which is a good way to get a better skillset!).

Targeting a better skillset or developing just for making money most of the time does not result in good ideas or products - but a project of personal interest will motivate you for a long time.

Personally, i created software, that i always wanted to have, but did not find something, that fitted all my needs - and it is still fun to work on it... e.g.:

- A simple tool to transfer files
- A tool to improve scanned document images and create a pdf
- A tool to convert audio files

Just my 2 cents.

It _is_ a mild disease.

Most people don't even have symptoms! In Italy—at least according to the government—you have a higher chance of getting hit by a meteorite than not dying from COVID, unless you live in Lombardy, are over 60 years old, and have 2-3 preexisting conditions.

I know that people die, and even 1 person dying is a tragedy, but if you compare with Spanish flu, Polio, Ebola, AIDS it _is_ an extremely mild virus.

As for being an expert, I never claimed to be. I didn't know you needed a degree to post on a forum. If you're asking for a recommendation, I would recommend plasma. We are having great success in Italy, with 2 hospitals in Modena and Verona completely erasing deaths.

The registry may decide whether a domain is "premium" or not, but I had no issues transferring it to Google Domains and paying less than what I was paying before.
If you're going to co-found a tech startup, don't learn to code if you think you're going to be able to "help" or "understand" your programmers better. They will be far more appreciative if you trust and empower them, and aim to reduce their administrative overheads that are keeping their fingers off the keyboard.

Learn how to code for fun by all means, but you'll frustrate yourself if your aim is to obtain some level of expertise in a short time!
