On the other hand, getting some apps to work can be a bit of a pain with NixOS. Especially binaries and/or Steam games, things running through Wine can be a pain because standard libraries are in non-standard locations.

What I ended up doing since about a year or so is just make my whole root partition something I can generate with Debian debootstrap + chroot. I have a +- 250 LOC bash script which I just invoke on a free partition, and it just completely reinstalls Debian in there as if it were a Docker container.

I then rerun this about once every month, reboot, switch to the new partition (and fall back to the old one in case things went wrong, which almost never happens) and I couldn’t be happier with it. Happy middle ground.
I've been at a company 6 years, I was thinking of leaving because I'd achived pretty much all I could in the role. In September a new CEO joined. Having listened to their plans, I was excited, new ideas, a firm direction. I decided to stay

a month later, I resigned. They were a bully who perceived any geniuine question as a challenge. Good people, coming out of meetings trying not to cry. I was coming out of meetings feeling like I was being beaten up.

My last day is next Thursday. People keep telling me how envious they are of me. I'm feeling guilt for leaving them in the lurch.

Examples may be needed. "If you build someone a house, you can't just put it on Airbnb and collect rent on it."

"If you start a company, you just can't empty the bank account and go to vegas." - This one put a lot of people in jail because they don't get the concept of "legal entity" and think it's my company and I can do whatever I want.

Here's a really simplified response that once I say it will probably seem obvious. People can be both stupid and/or insensitive without being racist. In fact, I would argue most people are stupid and insensitive regardless of whether they are racist.
I mark marketing email as spam, and not because it's easier than unsubscribing.

The vast majority of spam I receive is marketing emails from legitimate companies I bought something from, and who mistakenly think this means I want their marketing emails. I never deliberately subscribe to marketing emails, so if I get one then either:

1) They sent me marketing email without asking, therefore they deserve to be marked as spammers and get the associated hassle.

2) They had some pre-ticked "send me spam" tickybox on a web page designed to distract attention from it, therefore they deserve to be marked as spammers and get the associated hassle.
Lots. Automatic watermarks. Automatic resizing. Different storage options, putting a phone frame around the screenshot, and lots of other things that are really user workflows. And that is the heart of the issue: when we restrict user workflows, we reduce the utility of the tool.
Here's the problem :

Most mainstream media has been pushing the well known hoax about "fine people on both sides" being about white supremacists for far too long to have much credibility left when wanting to point out others unfounded, baseless and harmful lies.
Well, we don't own the means of production today either.
Yea, I think this is right on the line. They are attempting "crowd-sourced" peer review, which is the sort of thing that should be experimented with (so I wouldn't want to penalize them), but it's clearly not providing the kind of filter people expect of an academic journal.
To me, the most famous bug is that an entry is selected by default when you enter a directory. This renders it nearly impossible to select a directory (instead of a file) from the picker, because you will always enter the directory instead of picking it! The only way is to first enter the target directory, deselect the default with control-click, and then hit okay.
Yes, I understand that it was 'poetic'. My point is that it doesn't apply to things like mosquito control, it's just defeatism, eliminating malaria was a great thing for countries that did it, not a nuclear holocaust.

Did you know know we have FHS compat environments: buildFHSUserEnv?

This is our fallback solution for huge closed-source things like steam + its game games that we agree it doesn't make sense to repackage individually with patchelf.

I'm saying we agree and if we didn't have `buildFHSUserEnv` it would be a dealbreaker for many more than you. Please give it a shot, and us a second chance!

As you said, effort is already represented by urgency. A task with a deadline should be moved closer to quadrant 1 over time.

It would be interesting to, based on an effort grade, have it automatically move to the urgent side faster or slower.
The difference being, of course, that the left hasn't been in power for four years. One side of this discourse is based on projection and conjecture, the other on observable behaviour. I think that's one reason why I'm not seeing a huge appetite for finding the middle ground in some parts of the left: they need to see that the reasonable folks on the right will repudiate and, where necessary, punish the extremists they see as having been encouraged and given a free rein, rather than continue to give them a political home. I think the core of it is that with the extremists on the right wing (whether that's swastika-flashing Actual Nazis or the radical theocrats) they've actually had power, whether in the form of boots-on-the-ground "very fine people" that the police turn a blind eye to or actual elected/appointed office, whereas "card-carrying communist" describes an uninfluential fringe of Democrats who won't now be able to achieve very much. Because that repudiation hasn't happened yet, some would view anyone who unflinchingly supported the Republicans over the last four years as complicit in the actual, demonstrated, real actions that the extremists performed as at least an enabler, and possibly worse. Until that gets fixed, and mainstream Republicans own that, I don't see them moving.

Unfortunately, if McConnell is still in the driving seat in the Senate, form says we should expect political logjams, which won't help win anyone over either, and contrition isn't a trait I'd expect to magic itself into being purely on the basis of the presidential result.
I think the article is useless as well.

BUT, personality DOES play a large role in determining the effectiveness of someone as a leader.

More to the point, personality and the discernment of its characteristics and consequences is an intrinsically subjective thing. You will not find clearly actionable data nor systematic rules for figuring this stuff out.

That subjectivity doesn't stop people from trying to quantify this stuff, like for example, those insipid HR-driven DISC personality surveys and workshops. Some folks dive into minutia about Myers-Briggs classification. There's grains of truth in all these approaches, but it never works the way it was intended. HR departments and individuals aren't psychometric professionals, and even if they were, what they could actually use this for in a workplace isn't at all clear even in the best case scenario.

IMHO, the way you identify a destructive leadership pattern is by having experienced it before (as well as its opposite), by being mindful of your interactions with others and with organizational politics, and being self-critical of your own reactions to it. None of that is easy, It can't be learned in advance. It takes experience, trial and error.
All those highly paid, highly educated people really and truly believe this to be a solution?

Yes, you only have to write your Nix expression code in a couple of files; of course, the issue is "how to write that Nix expression code correctly".

> Looking at any of the 60,000 packages in Nixpkgs should give one an idea of what to write.

This is exactly the fallacy I addressed in my comment--Nixpkgs is a really brutal reference for a variety of reasons. Let's say you're building a Python project--first of all, good luck finding a good reference package in nixpkgs if you don't already know where the Python packages are. Secondly, the general scheme seems to be "import nothing, write some function that takes dependencies as arguments", which means you'll have no import statements pointing you to the source files for the dependencies. Further, because nixpkgs doesn't believe in docstrings or static types, you'll have nothing that helps you infer the shape of the thing you're searching for or otherwise provide you with reliable grep criteria. You'll need to grep for the call site for your function to determine what gets passed in, and that thing might be the result of calling some other function with its own args, so you end up recursing through this process for the whole dependency tree. It's needlessly tedious, and this example is just the tip of the painful iceberg.
Indeed I did, thanks.

A little bit like how one could feel about the 3,000 casualties of 9/11 versus one’s rights to free movement over the past 20 years.

Examples such as this suggest we’re not arguing from probabilities but from partisanship.
Neat! Would you please switch the chart so important/urgent is top left? Or at least provide an option for that. Covey is how many people are exposed to this concept, and he organizes the chart that way. Also, top left is typically the first place the eye goes, and it should naturally rest on the day’s most important tasks.

When I started editing some family videos, I researched some free editing software. My two champions were DaVinci and HitFilm express: https://fxhome.com/hitfilm-express

DaVinci had better color grading, but HitFilm were better to do simple and funny Visual Effects.

What is in question is the UX, not the literal code.

Obviously terminal programs are literally programs and COM is literally objects.

However, terminal programs often have a single purpose, along with inputs and outputs that function as a crude interface allowing them them to be combined in a reasonably flexible way by the end user, who can use them to construct functionality of their own.

I've never heard or seen anything like what you suggest.

It has been admitted I think that one is aware of certain bots (not affiliated with YC) that vote in certain directions.

I think I have even seen one popular HNer admit that he thought there was a bot who would upvote all his answer irregardless of who low quality they were.

Maybe someone has something like that and have pointed it at you.

More likely though you annoyed someone and they went in to your profile and looked at your other answers.

Edit: I looked into your comments and here are two notes.

1. Your comments are a mixed bag. Saying Trump brought war to American soil for example isn't anywhere near true and also inflammatory.

2. Some of them are insightful but ires one side without delighting the other. The result is you get a downvote from those who are annoyed and no support from the other side.

> Since when does Google allow you to watch porn?

Porn is not allowed in the app store. They cannot regulate porn videos (child porn might slip through) and the headline next day would be ''Google allows child porn apps on the play store''
It means they can do things that would otherwise stall due to waiting for industry adoption. Like coming up with their own file format that sucks less than other formats in some important ways.

Blackmagic RAW isn't really "raw" in the sense that it's the data exactly as it comes out of the sensor ADC. It's ever so slightly "cooked" in the camera, which dramatically reduces file size, but still preserves all the dynamic range and color info that you need for doing fun stuff with it later.

Any camera maker could do this and publish a support library, but no software would feel the impetus to integrate it immediately, so nobody would use it, and if nobody's using it, no software would feel the impetus to support it ever.

But because Resolve is such a competent offering in the software space too, you can enjoy the benefits of the new format immediately, if you're shooting with their cameras and editing with their software. And that creates market inertia and people talking about how useful it is, so if other software wants to win users away from Resolve, they'll likely have to grab that library and build in support for the format.

Just the first example that came to mind.
Yes, 100%. I don’t think it was an altruistic motive on either side. The US was acting on behalf of the monied interests and counties like China were acting to become a more dominant economy on the world stage. The fact that it lifted so many out of poverty was a by-product. What I think will be interesting is how China handles a burgeoning middle class that may want a more freedoms as their numbers grow
Our risk models are irreconcilable, and I can’t see us coming to agreement on this. Hopefully we can coexist in peace, but if not I’ll be fighting for the other side.
How much of destructive/toxic leadership can be summed up as "puts self ahead of organization"?

This post identifies 4 feelings that can lead to that. However, when I read the descriptions I picked up only two:

- Arrogance: I know better than my team
- Insecurity: I need to fight for myself b/c otherwise I'll lose my job / they'll realize I'm a fake

Those cause the leader to put themselves ahead of their team / disregard the thoughts of their team.

I suspect this condition is probably only made worse by the way our industry emphasizes the headstrong/autocratic facets of leaders (i.e. see how the media portrays Jobs, early Gates, Zuck, Dorsey, TK, Spiegel, etc.), convincing people to pursue positions of leadership for the wrong reasons: either that they finally will have final say or won't be able to be criticized. That becomes a refuge for the arrogant (wow, I'll finally have final say) and the insecure (wow, I'll finally not be able to be criticized). However, from what I can tell, leadership is more about:

- Integrating other's thoughts: your job is ultimately to integrate thoughts, not necessarily to just choose your own (failing to do so results in the autocratic failure mode)
- Requires vulnerability / sense-of-security: because how you integrate information/think--not just what you think--is a business asset, the business has more of a right to provide feedback there (failing to do so results in the deceptive failure mode)

And something that should only be pursued / gifted once those have been worked through?

> Firstly, GraphQL does not allow for infinite recursion; it is literally not possible to do infinite recursion in GraphQL

It's literally impossible to do infinite recursion anywhere because it's physically impossible to write down an infinite recursion.

However, if you look at the very example you provide on that page, you will see what I mean by infinite recursion. Moreover, you link to the Apollo page which literally has this example:

--- start quote ---

This circular relationship allows a bad actor to construct an expensive nested query like so:

query maliciousQuery {
thread(id: "some-id") {
messages(first: 99999) {
thread {
messages(first: 99999) {
thread {
messages(first: 99999) {
thread {
# ...repeat times 10000...
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}

--- end quote ---

Is 10000 infinite? No. Does it illustrate my point? Yes. Have you missed the point? Also yes.

> Secondly, it's extremely easy to add a GraphQL validation rule that limits the depth of queries

1. This statement is not even remotely true in general sense

2. It is not the default behaviour of any GraphQL implementation (because it's inherent in GraphQL)

3. The "extremely easy" solution for this particular case relies on an external package that needs to be added on top of something else. In your case it's not even added to postgraphile. It's added as an extra middleware to some other graphql library.

And that covers only one dimension: potentially infinite recursion. The other dimension is potentially unbounded complexity. For which the following is true:

1. It's inherent in GraphQL

2. Is not even solved by PostGraphile, except in an experimental paid package

3. The primary mode of mitigating this is disallowing arbitrary queries by providing only a whitelists of allowed queries (so, basically falling back to REST)

So in the end you end up piling more and more complexity on top of other complexities to arrive at a whitelist of allowed queries, ... which is basically just poorly implemented and over-engineered REST (well, REST-ish).

Honestly, no idea why you're fighting the facts of life that you yourself even document on your own product's pages.
