I'd recommend reading The Goal and, optionally, Critical Chain before The Phoenix Project. It sets up a lot of the context of the ideas around theory of constraints that The Phoenix Project builds on, but doesn't delve into. I read them in the order of The Goal, The Phoenix Project, It's Not Luck, Critical Chain. I found that the last book gave some useful insights into things that The Phoenix Project presented. On the other hand, after recommending these books to colleagues most only read The Phoenix Project and they seemed to not grasp (as it wasn't the core of the book) theory of constraints as well until they later read The Goal (or heard about it enough from me).

> It comes off kind of like, "hey, I want access to your knowledge and wisdom, but I want you to do an enormous amount of work to put it into a format that is easy for me to consume at my leisure. plzkthxbye."

Kind of.

When guys like OJ write books, I buy them. When they blog / tweet, I re-tweet them. Mostly to share knowledge with my industry peers and other newbs, but also to support directly or indirectly.

I don't see this as one-sided and I don't see anything wrong with expecting something in returning for sharing knowledge.

I will tell you what disappoints me - when good knowledge is lost over time. Or worse, hoarded and lost anyway.

And I will tell you what else is disappoints me - people who assume young newbs have an entitlement complex when seeking out knowledge, let alone encouraging others to share knowledge.

You strike me as a 'what's in it for me?' type of person. That's ok, I might buy your blog or read your book if you have them.
That's actually a surprisingly small bump.

The usual wisdom is that the later a problem is detected, the more it costs. 15-33% extra time for removing ~half defects very early is a great trade-off!
Thanks for the kind words! DevOps has had profound results and we think culturally and technically, it's the right moment to push for those practices in ML.

Easier said than done when you've a large, busy team to manage alongside lots of other work.

Besides, if you're a non-technical leader it can be difficult to understand how things are going unless you have some kind of metrics to track.
You're making a strawman here. What I want is that prestigious journals/conferences not accept papers unless they come with the code, dataset and weights required to replicate the result, and every formula come with explanations of the terms. If the terms are not widely used, a more thorough explanation should be requested by reviewers.

It's not that difficult. There's already a Distill Prize for Clarity in Machine Learning. A great spark would be if a company like DeepMind or OpenAI would enforce standards like these internally and host a conference that rewards papers at that standard. It would be a great PR move, at great benefit for humanity.

I don't think I understand your point. Are you saying that having more people wear homemade masks provides "cover" for people who wear more effective medical-grade masks? Or for people who want-to/need-to wear masks for non-medical reasons? Which is to say, unless we accept in advance that masks are effective at preventing the spread of disease, is there a reason that we would want to "normalize masks in general"?
It all depends what kind of work you do. I do things that touch embedded hardware and graphics and frequently find myself doing exactly the sort of things you described. If you miss it, it's certainly not gone :) (and I made a conscious decision to build my career around this, rather than fishing for npm modules).
How do you remember the user has opted out of cookies without storing a cookie?

Does anyone have an example of a site with a clear opt-in/out? I'm curious about what's actually stored on my machine in each case. And of course it's not really what's stored locally that's the issue: it's what is stored on their server.

Yes. It's a solved problem from a technical perspective. However, as with individual blogs and websites, discoverability is fairly poor. And, in the case of video in particular, not only is individually hosted content not monetized in general (unless you're a subscription site of some sort or beg for donations), but it can actually be fairly expensive to do at scale.

The issue is that many people aren't really looking for a way to host their videos; they're looking for someone to host their videos for free, with easy search, and to actually pay them money.

You quoted an ethical principle, then said it was obviously true. Now you're claiming that you don't actually believe in the ethical principle that you claimed was so obviously true?

If you're now claiming that the principle was "true" in some vague unspecified way, but not literally true, then like I said, say what you mean and mean what you say, and don't get bent out of shape when people point out the problems with this sort of imprecise reasoning.

The bigger problem is that none of the browsers support it, or intend to support it. DoH could change that (ironically, the DNSSEC crowd opposes the one DNS change that could offer any chance of viability for DNSSEC), but it's unlikely to.
Something where the integration tests:

* Are clear and easy to read and form a specification of sorts.

* Which are cheap to build.

* Where the interactions the code has to the "outside world" are easy and cheap to mock/test/keep under control - e. e.g. time, database, browsers.

* Has good debugging tools such that it's easy to track down the source of the bugs.
The pot calling the kettle black?
My point is that the ideal scenario, where you write something generic that also meets people's real needs (better than what's already out there), has become a very rare thing.
I generally found that it's reverse.

In lower paid jobs, and especially in menial jobs like when I was selling newspapers on street corners for fixed salary in HS, you work fixed time and 100% check out at the end of the day. Next day is clean slate. At a more involved office job you'd still check out as far as work as concerned, but office politics / boss had a bad day / etc. carry over. As a generic SWE you can't ever fully check out because the state of the project, the long term goals and current problems are always in your head - both the work, and the people. As a highly paid SWE working on online system, you sometimes can literally never check out because of on call, and because if something goes really wrong they'd call you even if you aren't on call.

If you love your job it's great, or at any rate acceptable (I can never get used to on call, so it's a necessary evil for me). As soon as you are on a crappy project or team, it sucks. I'd rather sell newspapers than work on a crappy software project if it paid the same.

I think the false perception of less stress in higher paid jobs actually comes from money itself (and status). You both have more cushion and so feel less dependent on a job, and are/feel less easily replaceable.
I am not even sure, if it is legal to make the opt-in easier than the opt-out. But I guess that is some kind of grey area nobody really cares about, even if it is crucial from a UX perspective.

Weinberg's writings are great. You can find most (all?) of his books here: https://leanpub.com/u/jerryweinberg. I haven't read Becoming a Technical Leader yet, but I have read The Psychology of Computer Programming (among other books of his) and I'd recommend it as well for someone wanting to lead a team.
> it's common to read on HN that e.g. software is so young and immature compared to civil or electrical engineering

Just a nitpick, but civil engineering is at least two orders of magnitude older since it goes back to Babylon.

The really cool thing about programming's scientific maturity is that it's entirely constructed. We know all the ground rules because we created them. The engineering challenge is not making a mess of things despite having a potentially perfect understanding of program semantics. So despite building aqueducts being a couple order of magnitudes older than building programs, we actually understand the abstract rules of programming better than we do hydrodynamics.
I felt that detracted from the argument since it was really just demonstrating that a badly implemented carousel is bad - which isn't a strong argument against a well designed carousel.
I have friends who a few years ago switched away from WhatsApp because it was charging 1 buck per year, and for that amount of money they gave you instant global unlimited text messaging, and those same people would have happily paid 10x that for a one-time meal.

I think you are grossly overestimating how much the average person is willing to pay for a digital service.

And I don't think newspapers are a good precedent giving how nobody buys newspapers anymore, compared to pre-internet levels at least.

Yes, we paid for enterprise support, but it's especially good. They even contributed code to third-party open source projects to solve one of our bugs.

I hear often about google's support being terrible, but the enterprise support on google cloud is definitely an exception.

No, it doesn't, because that is exactly how Mastodon instances work - or rather, fail to work.
> Yes, having a user manually choose a binary to download from a web browser is poor, but certainly there are technological solutions to this that are lighter weight than doing a full download of a fat binary for everyone.

In the average application, the binary is only a minor contributor to bundle size, assets are the vast majority of it.

For instance on my system Delicious Library 3 is a 110MB bundle. The binary is under 4MB. Same observation with Keka (30MB / 344K), xACT (15MB / 960K) or unicode checker (10MB / 500K)

Fat binaries were not an issue during the last transition, they're even less so now.
I'm not really that interested in the article, but thank you OP for linking to the lite version of CNN. It loaded so fast and didn't have any autoplaying videos.

But related to the article- We have multiple continents that are significantly curtailing their output due to the pandemic, and it will last for a while yet. I'm a little surprised to see that they think Europe will contract by only 8.3%. That might make sense if it were just Europe being affected by the pandemic but all of their trading partners are affected too. I don't think they've accounted for how the entire world going down at once is going to effect the EU as a multiplicative effect, not an additive effect.

I'd say, don't lead/manage but assist.

Don't decide on your own if possible.

Decision coming from top? Communicate that. Otherwise, ask your team what it think is the best course of action.

Only decide on your when something would be blocked.

I always read about two sides.

"Managers are needed, because there are tough decisions to make and people need to be led!"

"Managers aren't needed, people can govern them on their own!"

I think the truth is in the middle.
For music I'd argue that the present mode of the classical tradition lies mostly in film and video scores. Your Mozart is quite possibly, and in all seriousnous, likely John Williams. Many of the notable classical composers of the first 2/3 or so of the 20th century did work in film.

You mention Mozart but neglect J.S. Bach, who was all but forgotten before being later revived; much of his catalog was lost. Michelangelo produced validating propaganda for the upstart and brutal Medici family. Much classical art (painting, sculpture, music) was similarly created for religious or state sponsors.

Ballet and opera were the most complex performative works of their time. You'd probably want to look to musicals for modern equivalents, combining drama, music, singing, and dance.

Signature buildings are harder to name, but then, they also often take centuries to earn their reputations, and are often dismissed or unappreciated for long periods. The Notre Dame cathedral only started becoming a classic in the 19th century, nearly 800 years after it was begun.

Among contenders I'd offer: Sagadra Familia in Barcelona, Spain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagrada_Família), National Cathedral in Washington, DC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_National_Cathedral), the Baháʼí House of Worship in Wilmette, IL)(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baháʼí_House_of_Worship_(Wilme...), and Sydney Opera House (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Opera_House), and the Empire State Building in New York (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_State_Building), would be five suggestions.

In most cases, it's familiarity and time which cement reputations and acceptence. There's a timelessness IMO in stone, brick, and wood which concrete, steel, and glass match with difficulty, making other possible contenders -- most skyscrapers, bridges, and dams, say, less qualified, despite numerous contenders (e.g., Brooklyn & Golden Gate bridges, Hoover Dam, Burj Khalifa, Guggenheim Museum).

I agree; It definitely feels more like a reference book.

I couldn't get on with it personally. While I like reading his blog, the book just lacked personality. Maybe I was expecting personal anecdotes to explain some of the ideas.
+2 It's a nice read with a lot of insights.

Does go off on a lot of tangents, but it's more interesting than books which keep rambling on the same idea chapter after chapter.

Wholeheartedly agree. In parts of society where our distorted ideas of "productivity" and "success" are absent, people share more freely. The island where my family is from comes to mind (Crete, Greece). There—in the rural areas—people were able to deal with the 2007-2008 crisis a lot more effectively than they did in the cities—esp. compared to Athens. What I observed is that if someone didn't have enough, the rest of the village would provide. There was a general understanding that that way the people with less would get back on their feet and help contribute to the overall pool.
The title in the blog sounds slightly confusing here. It should at least add the word 'Jailbreak' which clears up the confusion and adds more context to the readers. Thus, it should be "Snapchat Jailbreak Detection on iOS". Likewise for the Android version of the app. [0]

Otherwise a great read for the security research folks interested in reversing iOS apps.

Since your edit seems to be taking the jail suggestion seriously:

I think the data-money analogy isn't unreasonable, but you're overloading "swindle" pretty heavily here, in a way that defeats your point. Companies and people "swindle" others out of money all the time with dark patterns, and this predates computing by ten thousand years. Caveat emptor exists for a reason: the legal system is just too inflexible a tool to cram a person's view of "honesty in business" into.

Defining "making one side of an option an iota more of a hassle than the other" as criminal is broad enough that you're pretty much guaranteed to catch many honest transactors too. The law is a really blunt instrument.

The article is about studies, not individuals. At the study level, they are pretty much universal. The effect is so strong that at this point demonstrating it is a routine entry level task for first year psychology students (my mother did a degree in child psychology when I was a teenager so none of this is new to me).

I'm surprised at your last statement, my experience is very much in line with the article. Presumably you think you have rational, logical evidence based reasons for many of your opinions right? So how come so many people with opposing views are completely intractable to your arguments? You must have noticed this. So either the subset of humanity that agrees with you on any given topic is all purely rational and objectively correct and all the rest are either up to no good or crazy, or theres something else going on. That's all this article is actually pointing out.
It is a mystery to me why you keep talking about heat. Heat is the lowest grade of energy, and least useful. Not taking a wasteful detour through heat is the first rule of efficient conversion.

That’s because the alternative process to electrolysis of producing hydrogen, the steam reforming, uses heat, not electricity. I keep talking about heat, because electricity from solar or wind is competing not with electricity from natural gas, but with heat from natural gas. Given typical conversion efficiency of 20-30%, this means that the heat from natural gas is at the very least 3-5 times cheaper than electricity from natural gas, and in fact it’s even cheaper than that, because you don’t need expensive turbines to generate heat from natural gas, reducing your capital and maintenance costs even more. EIA doesnt expect costs of electricity from solar to go below electricity from natural gas by 2040 at all, much less 6 times.

When we finally get sensible carbon taxation, 6x cheaper than CH4 will be easy to achieve.

Yes, if you put a finger on a scale, you can achieve any result that you want.
The title makes it sound like they talk about how they did it so efficiently.

But all the info we get about that is

"The last step was to combine the four binary models into one multiclass model, as explained in the previous section, and use it to classify 1M new documents automatically. To do this, we simply went on the UI and uploaded a new list of documents."

Great intro to NLP article, but very light on the actual implementation details and dataset.
Agreed - partnerships abound in the real business world. It might be under-modeled in economic theory and not well taught in business school, but the value of networking is and having high-level industry relationships is the life-blood of a good business leader - specifically because of partnering and information sharing.
