I'm sorry if you don't understand why someone might be uncomfortable with the slides, picture it happening to you. You give a talk and then someone then goes through your slides, effectively saying "no you are wrong" without really anything substantive at a big conference. I can see why people might see that as a bit uncomfortable.

It is an okay idea but it seems taken too far. People in tech often seem hopelessly socially inept. We all need to learn to do better. Yes in this case the original author of the slides was okay with it, but not everyone will be. The author seems completely unaware of this. They should have it explained to them.

So I do agree it was probably handled poorly. There would have been a better way to resolve this.

But for everyone complaining about how social media/hate groups cancelling people etc etc, think a bit more. This person wrote a blog post which is obviously going to be taken and used as fuel. The title is definitely provocative. The lack of awareness is exactly why we need a code of conduct in the first place.
> I'm definitely not a mindless CTO. ;)

Based on this comment you do kind of sound like one. Could you elaborate on what you think 'Domain Driven Design' is, and what you think 'boundaries' are in the context of development? It would help dispel the impression I get that you're a clueless CTO who knows enough to be dangerous.

(apologies for being a bit rude perhaps; consider it a comment slightly in bad faith, but very curious to hear you prove me wrong)
The license that Amazon has doesn't even need to change for there to be undesirable customer outcomes. I didn't realise the extent of the geo-locking of content bought through Prime Video, for example. So a film I bought while living in the UK is now unavailable to me in Sweden, despite both countries being served by Prime Video.
The main problem that arises with large multi-party systems is that the ruling party needs to form a coalition to govern and that may require cozying up to some extreme small party and giving them influence outsize of their numbers.
Good context. Thanks for that.

Finding modern cognates to medieval nobility is fraught. In the republican era, it basically means "finger the bad guys." There's a tendency to label whoever you have beef with. Investors, bankers, the wealthy, political elites, the upper class...

Does Peace and War go into inter-nobility issues, or does the thesis rest on just the problem of a fixed size peasantry supporting a growing nobility? I could imagine these issues resulting in famines and peasant revolts. But, I can also imagine conflict emerging among nobility.

You can confer as many titles as you like, but France only has so many hides of land. Landless knights and penniless descendants of counts hanging around palaces and competing viciously for favour seems like it could be a recipe too. Somewhat more parsimonious with this modern thesis.
This assumes equality of opportunity.

It’s not that they’ll never be good leaders, it’s that it’ll take a while to get there, and that timeframe might be measured in failed startups.
I know about Baader-Meinhoff, but did something happen recently to lead to some sort of resurgence of zettelkasten interest?

I feel like I learned about the term a few months ago on HN, and then it's been cropping up quite frequently since. It's a pretty distinctive word, I feel as if I would have noticed and investigated if it had come up so frequently in the past.
Moving into a management track means using different skills than just software development. It also doesn't mean you are smarter or better than everyone, it's a different role. You likely get to write performance reviews, stare at stacks of resumes, look at Excel files for budgets, approve expense reports, etc. Sure you might be a final decision maker on some tech things but if your style is to dictate those decisions w/o team collaboration you probably won't last long.

When you work at a Fortune 500 company there are scores of VP's, Directors, Senior VP, etc. Those titles don't mean much, but your focus on title and coveting it indicates you feel they mean something. Maybe the VP title means something externally at a small company because there are expectations to have corporate sounding titles when introductions happen with customers or potential acquirers?

If you truly covet the VP title, explore why you might want that. Explore what your career might be like moving into management/leadership vs. staying in the technical arena.

This is why regulation is so sorely needed. The "free market" has shown over and over again that it is not to be trusted with unregulated identity providing - I remember a time when there was at least one thread a month on HN where people complained about losing their GMail/Facebook/Amazon... account over "automated" tools (aka AI running rampant) and no way to contact humans.

My cousin lives in a place with shitty internet, and regularly creates a list of YT URLs for later downloading when they go in-town. This is going to devastate them. Especially when they need to repair something or do maintenance where a rando’s video is 100x better than the manufacturer’s instructions and they download all the videos.

>The most straightforward modern equivalent to Turchin's "elite" nobility would not be people with advanced degrees: it would be <insert group I don't like and do some hand waving to indicate why their value to society is net-negative>

There's a lot of groups one could complain about. On HN it's a toss-up between whether you complain about the wall street bankers or the urban landlords. In other circles people complain about the government and the white collar yuppies. The MBA types get complained about a lot but nobody complains when they're buying a $100 window A/C unit.

You can find examples of net-negative rent seeking in just about every part of the economy but to paint a whole class of economic activity as a drag is naive.
I have an example from a different area. We are developing a batch process that runs multiple stages over multiple hours on a huge cluster producing some kind of numerical results. We also can not deploy to production on a whim, due to regulation. It is impossible to test all developer changes on a full process.

So we put highest risk changes under feature flags/configuration values. If certain things do not work as expected in testing - we disable them with configuration without creating a new build artifact. It is also a common occurrence that another team has to validate numerical results Coming from a certain feature for a while before it is enabled in production.

> I'm just glad that this example of the phenomenon was over technical disagreement rather than politics, that makes it much more illustrative.

And how exactly are you drawing that conclusion? You think that people at JupyterCon were genuinely outraged over a presenter expressing his opinion that he likes Jupyter notebooks? I would imagine that liking Jupyter would be an acceptable opinion at a Jupyter convention.

Jeremy has been an outspoken advocate of mask use, which is a highly polarizing political issue in the U.S. at the moment. I think the most reasonable explanation for this attack is that people who disagreed with Jeremy's political opinions (mask use good) found a smokescreen to attack him with (liking notebooks, not being kind).
I think it depends what your goal is. The 'How to take smart notes' book is specifically about taking research notes for academia or at the very least non-fiction writing.

Zettelkasten Method can make a lot of sense in contexts like that. If you are writing a weekly blog, keep building notes up and polishing parts of them for the blog. Then your note taking process is in fact your blog writing process, but a bit more procedurally free form.

A fun one to add. In Hong Kong, old walk-up buildings often have different floor numbers in English than they do in Chinese.

Does your web server create logs that contain IP addresses (as most do by default)? Now you’re processing PII according to GDPR. Do you include any assets at all that are hosted by a third party who therefore have access to IP addresses? Do you have the necessary DPA with them plus your web host?

Do you have a compliant privacy policy, data retention policy, breach notification policy? Have you named a data privacy officer? Do you have a written process for erasure requests?

You’re probably right that the ads are a problem but ain’t nobody getting GDPR compliance for free.
I love this argument, just because it completely flips reality on its head. The intolerance that is being discussed is that of the Progressive US Left, who cannot tolerate any dissention from the current state of "politically correct" (here I use it's original definition). What you are describing is the reaction to it. It's a masterstroke of political reasoning, when you find a way to define your own shortfalls as stemming from the "other side".

Edit: I should add, it's amusing while it doesn't affect me, but the ramifications are horrifying.

> The most straightforward modern equivalent to Turchin's "elite" nobility would not be people with advanced degrees: it would be investors who do not work for wages. (Not to say there is no overlap between those groups.)

Investors do a lot of work, because they have to constantly think where to put their money, evaluate alternatives, make sure there is no money wasted on things, etc. Even passive investors who only have S&P portfolios still contribute to the economy by providing capital to companies to invest into new things.
I also personally think that France's demographic situation in the early 1300s was a perfect example of Malthus's law, there were too many people compared to what the land could provide at that time (given the available technology). Some areas in the Southern Alps (Alpes-Maritimes) were never to be inhabited again after that.

A possible plausible explanation is that AMD's SAM is "just" that they fixed the BAR size limits so the entire vram can be mapped at once, instead of the still weirdly common & low 256MB limit. If so, that would actually involve the chipset (even if it's just the supporting BIOS & microcode) and not just the CPU.

I've settled on Alpine instead for the time being because it has some data management built in. I'm thinking I'm going to have to switch to Vue on my current project because I feel so much less productive with Alpine.

As someone who was more or less a "Hello World engineer" (at least not far from it) when founding my first startup, I couldn't agree more.

The article expands a bit on why it's not a good idea to hire a CEO, and I mostly agree with that part, though not so much with having no business person on the founding team.
There is no technical reason why it needs to be in the window system (well in X the clipboard goes away if you if the client that set it exits, but that is unwanted anyway) but from a user perspective it is very close to keyboard input so it makes sense to have it be handled by the same system.
Election of representatives via an accurate count of cast ballots is the Law of the land. Undermining that would erode both the rule of law and societal trust. And without those two things, your bill of rights is just a scrap of paper and your court is just a set of 9 frail people with no army to back them.

Small-d democracy -- the orderly selection of representatives via a vote of the enfranchised citizens -- is absolutely the bedrock of the American political system and its best bulwark against political violence.

Tbh I thought the article's autocratic fear-mongering was overblown bullshit, but the top comment on this story lauds a pro-Trump commentary show and insists that ending democracy isn't really such a big deal after all. So, here we are, I guess.

I mean, the nobility were, by and large, people who derived income from capital (generally, and in many countries exclusively, land) but didn’t generally themselves do productive work (they sometimes had minor government or judiciary roles, but these were often very minor, at least as time went on). It’s a fairly obvious comparison (though it was worse; modern investment, except in land, does at least indirectly lead to productive work).

There are also more recent examples of overpopulation of non-productive landowners. Post-ww1 the UK peaked at demolishing more than one stately home per day, as the Downton Abbey class abruptly became non-viable.

One aspect would be that they used real data for test data aspect and the whole data protection law aspect that can impact that as anybody who has had to produce test data will attest. The days of using a copy of existing data for testing taken many a blow over this.

Then the people factor - if you get a survey asking for your views of XYZ in the area, you will kinda start to think XYZ is happening and won't know the difference from students doing an exercise over official - it's a happening people.

But asking questions can often have unforeseen impacts. For example - if your company sent out a questionnaire to see who likes Christmas or not then some employees may well think that the company is going to cancel Christmas bonus or other worst cases as that is an aspect of human nature. So somebody asking for a training exercise some questions could see people joining dots and run with it and next you know, protests for something that was never going to happen.
> Wouldn’t the better option be to have regulation that prevent Both the rights seller (Hollywood) & the seller From revoking the sale/license, and guaranteeing it in the company’s perpetuity?

So how would this law work? The reality is that compound works are always, always made up of third party bits of copyright. So are films required to clear any music in perpetuity, no matter what? Goodbye to musicals. What happens if rights are in dispute and a supplier loses the rights to the title, or parts of a title (this happens a lot)? What happens if an estate of a creator files to have the IP in a character revert to them after fifty years?

How are you going to have this regulation pass in every country in the world at the same time?

Or is this one of these things that's easy to glibly say but basically impossible to do?
