Ask HN: A path to management in a post-Covid world
Although I am an individual contributor Software Engineer, I have been interested in leadership and people management for a while.

I received good feedback about my communication and soft skills from my managers and peers. I was going to be the direct manager of a couple of interns this summer, but all internships got cancelled.

Half a year ago I had a clear path in mind to transition to management. Today not anymore.

I'm concerned about what opportunities I will have in the future. I doubt my company will trust someone without experience to manage people remotely. I'm also worried I might set myself up for failure. Even if things go "back to normal", I imagine many people will push to work remotely. I envision a future where partial or fully remote teams are the norm.

Does anyone have experience transitioning to management in remote first or remote only companies? What have you seen working and not working? Will companies need to accept remote work and adapt their management practices and structures accordingly?

> Use the abbreviated form of a title without explanation only if there is no chance of any misunderstanding (eg UN, Nato, IRA, BBC). Otherwise, spell it out in full at first reference, or introduce a label (eg the public sector union Unite).

>

> Where you would normally say the abbreviation as a string of letters - an initialism - use all capitals with no full stops or spaces (eg FA, UNHCR, NUT). However, our style is to use lower case with an initial cap for acronyms, where you would normally pronounce the set of letters as a word (eg Aids, Farc, Eta, Nafta, Nasa, Opec, Apec).

For the average reader, I would argue there is little chance of misinterpretation, and BBC certainly agrees. Besides that, because "NATO" is pronounced "nay-toh", they spell it with an initial cap.
Once the USA has a sane commander-in-chief again, it's going to need to completely overhaul its approach to the Eastern European region, among other things.

This is actually a good point. If you're never accessing inside a string directly, but only iterating over it, then it's often far better to build a tree/rope structure than to create a continuous memory section.

OOPs original premise is homoiconicity? Really?
Regarding online video entertainment, there are plenty of competitors like Twitch, Netflix and Pornhub. Each are a different concept and are optimised for the type of entertainment they bring.

I do not think there is room for a competitor that is exactly like Youtube, but not Youtube. You have to do something different.

"fixed broken systems, like an internal search engine that gave bad data about which products were in stock;"

My Dad bought a TV at Best Buy several days ago. He looked for the model he wanted, couldn't find it. Went to the front desk and asked, they looked it up and sure enough it wasn't in stock. My Dad walks to the back of the store, finds the exact TV model he wanted with no assistance from any 'blue shirt'.

Sounds like they still have some work to do lol
I'm the author of the linked article. My biggest surprise over the last few months has been that it is a bigger challenge to try to figure out a better was to monetize a new search engine than to actually getting people to switch to it.

And then you'll kill a thriving ecosystem that lives in those pine needles... including those chanterelles, matsutake and other (delicious or not) fungal species that live symbiotically with the trees. Not to mention the animals that live in the duff, and help prevent topsoil erosion.

In the boreal forests of north america used to be plentiful with "wizard's beard" moss. Hangs down from the trees, light and fluffy, made really good material for diapers. So we harvested it. All of it. Turns out these beards takes forever to grow, and similar mosses and lichens that contribute to a healthy forest take a hundred, or hundreds, of years to get established in new growth. I've seen wizard's beard in a couple of extremely remote places. But the industry died when they almost extincted it.

But yeah you're right. Loads of people will chomp at the bit to harvest this stuff. And you won't see chanterelles in the grocery story anymore. And after the topsoil is exposed in those woods, expect some intense fire seasons.
I was thinking about the same hypothesis but IIRC it was highly speculative, with the main evidence for it simply being that modern plants evolved to use those other photosynthesizers' castoffs. We may not need that hypothesis anymore if we have a solid reason to avoid green anyway.

Well that didn't age well.
I find the premise of this kind of article is flawed. Not because some of what the article says is incorrect, but because there is no such thing as OOP. OOPs as practised in Java, say, is very different from that in Rust (which the article mentions as having a "slimmer set of object-oriented features"). As a result trying to make generic statements about OOP doesn't really give much value IMO. You need to discuss specific well-defined programming practices to make progress.

I also don't think trying to define OOP is fruitful. One can resort to textualism, going back to Alan Kay's definition for example, but this is as bad in programming (how does this definition relate to current practice?) as it is in law.

I think we'll see the beginnings of a regulatory moat in the not too distant future.

Tech workers have the benefit of hindsight, having seen U.S. manufacturing jobs get decimated in the last few decades.

A lot of fields already have built in protection from foreign competition. For instance, most if all states require that anyone conducting telemedicine work needs to be both licensed in the state were the service is being performed.

Given the leftward drift of the Democratic party and Republican's newfound disdain for the big tech companies and things like HB1 visas, I would be shocked if we don't see some significant restrictions on how foreign workers are used in the tech sector.
Taskflow: Modern C++ Parallel Task Programming
The entire point of OOP is to encapsulate state within objects and to have objects communicate through messages, that is to say to 'program without a center'. Global or interconnected state is if anything a violation of OO principles.

In proper OO state is hidden and insofar as it causes issues it does so in a way that is handled by the object rather than the program overall.

Also treating code as data isn't a feature of OO, it's an old idea starting with Lisp and metaprogramming I suppose and it's present in functional languages as well. It basically just means that the language itself is a first class data type within the language.

Youtube is more than music. I use youtube all the time, but never to listen to music.
These platforms hold way too much power in deciding which speech is allowed and disallowed. There have been many times where trusted public agencies provided incorrect guidance on COVID - why should they enjoy a monopoly on speech and trust on these topics? We need dissenting voices and speculation to be heard, because they are part of the societal journey to ascertain the truth.

I’m also concerned that these actions are typically not motivated by a sacred duty to “public safety” but rather politics. Why should anyone trust squarespace if their employees’ politics can affect your business on a whim?

Only Dailymotion and Vimeo can be considered competitors, for the rest you have to be logged in to browse anything. You can throw YouTube links at everyone and everything, almost no one blocks it (and those that do, backtrack quickly).
> I think it's safe to say that there is no "one language to rule them all" or "one programming paradigm to rule them all.

Absolutely! But when OOP was initially sold to the masses it was marketed to be that one solution to rule them all, OOP was the buzzword of the day and it stayed like that for some time to come. It is only fair that the king was dethroned to make room for equally good/competing paradigms.

I don't think OOP is bad but I've seen codebases where it become needlessly more complicated and complex than it should have been.

The author is absolutely right in claiming that OOP is not bad if certain things are avoided when: objects are exactly not paralleling the real world, avoiding inheritance when not coding a framework/library, not creating objects unnecessarily, not overusing design patterns, etc. But since it was heavily marketed those things could not be easily escaped from and the OOP gurus kept on adding to the list. OOP is not bad but it deserve its bashing for the hype it took the world over with.
It seems to me that the definition of OOP is so unclear as to make the term useless. It seems to me that lots of really bad ideas were spread under the guise of OOP. But now OOP advocates are shifting the definition so that OOP either excludes are doesn't explicitly advocate those bad ideas. I have to wonder: what exactly does OOP still advocate?
These are not political opinions. Spreading discredited information during a pandemic is like yelling fire in a crowded theater. Advocating the use of a medication shown by numerous studies not to work against CoVID-19 is not an unpopular opinion. It is factually incorrect and wantonly dangerous.
People complain that the App Store has too many apps already. If so, then a reduction could be a net positive.

That's why it's important to "verbally" punish them on some level (if you hate them because they've done you wrong). They need to know, or if they've done wrong in a work/shared social context, then others need to know as well. Otherwise, it's as you said, only you feel bad and they have no idea or don't care.

Too much of the ills happening in the world today is (I would argue) due to us responding to bad things by appeasing, forgiving, or simply "letting it go" without confrontation/conflict.
Go with the first one.
i'm a little bit perturbed that the rationalist subculture might be seeing these mental states as desirable.

the big problem, apart from the obvious issues with impulsive and reckless decision making, is delusional and bizarre thinking. full-grade mania can have full-grade psychosis, but even the "desirable" hypomania here can come with lesser forms of something obviously related.

somebody might be a little too prone to see coincidences, to make unjustified inferences about other people's mental states, to perceive "messages from the universe", to perceive patterns and connections between unrelated things, to believe that they have the ability to somehow influence or foretell the future, etc.

like euphoria, these are all pretty much harmless and common things in themselves. it seems to me that hypomania (and drugs, etc.) ramps them up in the same way it does euphoria, and as long as it doesn't go too far, it doesn't outright prevent people from functioning.

i wonder whether it's even possible to separate the two -- i find "predictive processing" explanations of mania to be intuitively convincing, so it seems like euphoria and weird thinking might be connected in some way.

i don't like the idea of the rationalist crowd, many of whom are smart, driven, and capable, and value clear thinking, getting into states of mind like this, especially since they tend to come with anosognosia. it doesn't seem good.

Even if the goal is "wireheading done right" with some future technology such that problems can be avoided, the pattern with this subculture seems to be that some people will try to experiment with whatever closest equivalent is available now seriously underestimating risks.

if you're thinking to yourself "how can I become hypomanic to make myself more productive and creative", please don't.

(also, if rationalist types do start trying to make themselves hypomanic, one result might be that the AI/singularity/simulation stuff will turn into something that really is a religion.)
How would this damage tech workers? Almost everyone in IT has done work with a remote co-worker or distributed team. Doesn’t matter if they are in Indiana or India, we have the tools to collaborate and conference if needed.
It depends on the team. C++ can be better. It can also be worse.
And what's to stop me creating thousands of these anonymous unregulated accounts to launder money? There are a lot of aspects to regulating the financial industry that have to account for the many different scenarios involved. The regulations for the finance industry aren't perfect but it is an incredibly difficult balance to strike.
Is this actually so pronounced? If you look at the "Mixed bag for tech positions in tech hubs" table, the change in tech postings trend looks more or less the same as the change in all postings trend (I bet it's not even stat sig). Reading the article, the claims being made are not even strong ones.
Yes, that’s a good way to describe it. I don’t think colonialism is a meaningful analogy here.
Well, I guess that's for Squarespace to decide.

US policy toward NATO has been remarkably consistent, despite the confusing rhetoric from the commander-in-chief. The United States still refuses to recognize the Russian government's claim over Crimea, the Trump administration has continued selling arms, including lethal arms and armored vehicles, to the government of Ukraine, the United
States conducted a cyberattack against Russia prior to the 2018 midterm elections, and US forces are actively participating in NATO's multinational training exercises and forward deployments in Eastern Europe. A Biden administration is expected to continue these activities.
Yeah, no sh*t.

Assuming you went to college for a marketable and "valuable" degree - by this, I mean a degree with a clear path to a somewhat stable career. Usually, if you don't have internships you've already shot yourself in the foot.

Plenty of people with family money and college still find ways to go bankrupt from addiction, real-estate woes or bad investments.

Some just don't care enough or have enough drive to be "successful".

Some who find success get involved with the wrong people, or think their source of money is an endless fountain and go broke or worse end up on the street.

Goodness do journalists write for simpletons these days...
For me, it was about 2 weeks ago. My left wrist is just a _little_ sore, but constantly. I've noticed that if I rotate my keyboard towards my left hand, the pain gets better, so now I'm starting to think that it's something that I'll need to actually get better hardware to prevent getting worse.

I've indulged in a nicer keyboard once before, but only because I was intrigued by the novelty of mechanical keycaps. Now I'm thinking that I'll need to take the plunge and get something more ergonomic, because I've still got a lot of career left.

It is called SEPA Direct Debit. You give people your IBAN, and they can take money from it. You formally have to give your permission of course (the "mandate"), but that is really a pinky promise by businesses that they have it. That there is not wide-spread abuse of this system seems to be because of accountability on who is granted access to this system.

I would imagine the situation in the US to be quite similar.

> Our view is that Facebook and targeted ads are a lifeline for small businesses

LOLOLOL - I service only small businesses (hundreds of them) and 90% of them could give 0 fucks if Facebook disappeared from this planet tomorrow.

The whole "targeted advertising" pipe dream sold to small businesses is tiring. Highly targeted Facebook ads work for a small percentage of business models - if you don't fit one of these models it's a giant waste of money or at least on par with print/radio/tv/un-targeted digital ads.
This looks excellent, I will be trying it out later today.

Youtube pays the same in these two cases

- Someone watches the newest taylor swift music video.
- I upload a video of my kid doing something funny where taylor swift is accidentally played in the background.

Should the music industry be payed the same in both cases?
> US policy toward NATO has been remarkably consistent.

Yeah, with Trump moving troops out of Germany because he believes, contrary to all facts, we'd be trying to rip them off.

Not to mention the whole Iraq fiasco with Bush trying to rope NATO allies in a war based on lies.
I'm certainly one of the rare people who planned (for the next week!) to take youtube music and premium just to be sure to have access to all danish song but finally nope.

No I'm not danish but when you like different languages and commercial hip hop,danish hip hop is not that bad !
Forgiveness has become yet another external demand, same as the duty to feel gratitude. The important thing is to work through, then let go and move on. Forgiveness might be part of that process, but it doesn't need to be. It might as well include confrontation, or even a little bit of revenge.
It would be nice to see a sample of what you get before you have to sign up. But I'm assuming this will have the same problem I have with every other new service like this, the content just isn't interesting enough to make it worth the while.
Interesting. Is this really not confusing? I haven't seen it done elsewhere. I find it confusing just because of that. Their reasoning for why they do it seems actually reasonable.

EDIT: Actually the fact that their rule is followed by a list of exceptions, because NICE -> Nice, SAD -> Sad would be confusing shows why this style might be not so good after all. Also, whereas N.A.T.O. -> NATO is really just a style change in some sense, because NATO can be still interpreted only as abbreviation, NATO -> Nato feels like stealing a part of the identity from the subject. NATO emphasizes some meaning behind the letters, whereas Nato resigns on that origin.

IMO, OOP just puts too many footguns at your disposal, the most dangerous one being mutability (how normal is it that our methods mutate instance variables?). The larger a system grows the more mutability will make it even harder to understand and control. It may be tolerable in small-scale embedded software, but outside of that we should make use of the better alternatives that modern hardware affords us.
I was referring to "Finally a clickbait with explanation!".
In this case, they have the first say which is enforceable. A legal case, if brought and substantiated, could have a further decision, which may supersede any prior decision.
