> Chinese reclaiming at Chinese scale will crush everyone else.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. The whole reason they have to resort to land reclamation to create artificial islands for their military bases is that they were late to the party and all the good spots on existing islands were already taken, mostly by Vietnamese bases: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/36/Spratly_...

Now holding those islands doesn't help Vietnamese fishermen much when they encounter other countries' coast guards out in the open sea, but the bases still provide a convenient place to shelter if they happen to be close by.
Great talk - I have a feeling she'd get on well with rachelbythebay, whose blog has a lot of posts on the same theme.

The sad fact in some places is that as a woman, your choices for skirt length are "too prude" or "too slutty", and your choices for the amount of glue work you do are "not technical enough" or "not a team player".

Some of these places then act really really surprised when their women leave - sometimes leave the field entirely.

My humble contribution of the day for managers, if you've tried everything else and your equality metrics are still not going up:

1. Who is the glue keeping your team together?
2. Promote them. (Not move them into management, promote them to your equivalent of senior engineer.)
Me too and it would be interesting if such phrases would be valid if not human readable.

Bus-factors are usually an organizational smell.

My daily work is often not adhoc or that fast;

I'm not sure why this is so unrelatable to you but for me, daily business is, that things just take 1-3 weeks.

Legal manpower still means, that people interrupt their current tasks, which they properly have plenty of, to reprioritize something, others might even not care about at all or never heard of.

Easily solvable. At a single press of a button they can temporarily turn off the camera for 15 minutes at a time. At a double press it is turned off for 30 minutes.

Now if a cop says the camera was turned off while doing official business, it was turned off on purpose and they no longer have an "excuse" that they forgot to turn it on.

Nobody's forcing you to upgrade anytime. Don't run upgrades just before you need your computer to work. I do upgrades once or twice a week, when I know I have time to fix if anything breaks. Maybe once a year I need to spend a couple of minutes to manually fix a problem, like re-running the updater with a special flag, or deleting a certain file. The steps are usually to be found on the distro's home page, announced in the mailung list or posted in a forum dedicated to updating. It's really not a big deal.
How do these services actually work? Since it is apparently just a system to connect customers, deliverers, and sellers with each-other, I assume (not really, but...) the deliverers can set their minimum pay? If not, that would be an interesting experiment.

I don't know about job ads you've seen, but senior manager is often a dream/wish of companies who'll hire the first person that won't make them facepalm during the interviews after 6 months of not finding the right senior.

> Where do I find companies that value and seek glue/leads?

I think most companies value such work; it's just important to find the language they use. For example, in my BU, we have agile scrum masters. They are doing essentially the same work as technical project managers in my previous BU from the same company. I'd just advise reading the ad language and deciding whether that's "glue you like" or not...
I do agree that Swiss laws are generally good, but consumer protection is significantly worse than for example the EU. For many things, a EU person will take something for granted and get screwed over, mostly in terms of strange socially accepted norms + "if it's in the AGB (terms of service) good luck arguing/defending".
What about all the comments pointing out that other countries are taking concrete steps and treating Chinese fishing vessels in the same way? The whole premise of the "analysis" is mistaken.
Because Microsoft's goals are not directly aligned with fighting DMCA and similar legislation. It takes more than being technically savvy to fight legislation like this; actually, I would say being technically savvy but not experienced will leave you in an unfortunate spot because you'll see through all the copyright stuff but be unable to effectively fight it in court.
i often watch youtube videos from mpv exactly to get away from those distractions.
My point isn't that these standards will protect you from any incidents. My point is that these standards are the low hanging fruit and Twitter hasn't even picked it yet so it's a bit redundant to get super technical. Twitter is suffering from governance failures.

Prop 22 was not the way to do it. I’m glad that terrible law was correctly voted down by California. It is clear that people want flexibility. The fact that Prop 22 had to have over 100 exclusions because it broke so many other industries reeks of bad code smell. It was a badly written law and badly written laws need to be reversed. In the end, drivers got better protections and guarantees but remained flexible and independent.

Security engineers don't actually recite trivia facts about TLS in their job. Their job is more like, know when you should use TLS and when you shouldn't and know what it does and does not protect against.

A security engineer is just as likely to derive a tls cipher config from first principles instead of googling/looking at ssllabs as a programmer is likely to reverse a binary tree from scratch instead of using a library or searching stack overflow.

Engineers (of any stripe) aren't hired to recite random knowledge, they're hired to know what knowledge is appropriate to apply to a particular situation.
I wonder if companies can be held liable by customers and/or competitors if they break that promise.

My (very brief, IANAL) intro to civil law in Switzerland covered an interesting detail in contracts: contracts (or parts) need to follow “good morals” to avoid being invalidated [0], an example of which would be that the contract shouldn’t bind the parties for perpetuity.

So this part of the contract couldn’t be enforced by the other party (the customer), while the provider actively advertised it. I wouldn’t be surprised if this would be seen as bad advertising and would lead to potential compensation for customers and competitors, if they stop providing the service.

> Promote them. (Not move them into management, promote them to your equivalent of senior engineer.)

I think this is controversial. If you have a software engineer being promoted to senior software engineer (1 -> 2) without at least intermediate knowledge of the codebase, that'll make other seniors suspicious/wary.

Personally speaking, if you hire a software engineer that does mainly/only glue work, you mis-hired. What you meant to hire was a technical project manager. Move that person to a TPM if they want to (and are great at what they do) instead of having a senior software engineer who hasn't really shipped anything noteworthy.
So, short answer: an MQTT client. On lock/unlock I have a MQTT client called to publish a message to a topic. I think I'm using HiveMQ's mqtt-cli because it was the most immediately obvious option for my OS.

Working out from there:

* I use Windows as the host OS for my desktop. You can use Task Scheduler to set a task to run on lock/unlock. I have jobs set that mute/unmute my audio and call a MQTT client to publish the messages to the broker.

* Those messages are picked up by Node-RED. It's a ladder-logic-ish environment for automation. It has flows that control all the bits of logic based off of all the various data sources including MQTT.

* Node-RED calls Home Assistant, which handles providing a UI as well as actual integration with all the various bits of hardware (light bulbs, z-wave controller, etc)

If a hotel can do it, surely there’s no reason why Airbnb can’t figure it out?

I've been doing web development for a long time, and I've never had to do anything like btree reversal in a web development context.

It's probably not even that hard, but I doubt I'd be able to improvise a solution in an interview setting that's nothing like a real work environment. (Memories of trying to work out some kind of graph traversal while someone was basically just staring at me.)

It seems to me that people who are doing this kind of work behind the scenes of a web app aren't really doing web development.

It is one of these discussions that simple don't matter. Firstly Linux can be an optimal answer to certain problems and also curiosity can give you different perspective. However the issue is that smart people in certain parts of this in industry constantly fall for these ideological traps that imply paths to glory, while actually they propose tradeoffs, at best. In reality these are just choices that have marginal impact for the vast majority of people and projects. These types of discussions really crumble on themselves when you ask the correct questions like: "Is it the best way to spend my time as a developer in order to improve myself" or the blatant "Will using Linux on its own bring me closer to becoming a tech billioire"?

Spend your time well, people. Solve real issues, have real impact.
You can ask algorithmic questions that are not easily googleable or standard problems (basically where they have to invent the solution themselves). Although it takes some effort to find the right difficulty problems (tip: the right difficulty is pretty low) so you don't end up wasting time on stuff nobody can solve or stuff everyone easily solves. You can ask people you know to take a stab at a problem to gauge its difficulty. Or you may even be able to eyeball it.

FastMail is an amazing company. Their UI is old school and packs a punch. Their mobile app is fantastic. They also invented some new JSON based email standard: https://jmap.io/
The more the merrier, I guess. I've always been comfortable using kubectl. The only UI I am forced to use is the Google Cloud Console one. Which is ok. For newcomers I would recommend using the cli tooling and dive as deep as you can before you zoom back out. If you run k8s, then you are probably big enough a company that you have prometheus or something like that which collects metrics for cpu/ram usage.

From a Developers POV it's definitely easier to interact with a GUI.. and I '+1' on what u/rhacker said: the best UI in that case is probably the VSCode plugin.

Oh. I find subject-verb-object interface another dimension of debate altogether. Usual it's being mentioned by FP devs, since they are usually very aware of that aspect since they don't get to use it. :D

It's not only that SVO is more suited from linguistic reasons. Selecting the "object/doer/subject" first is just a better UX in all sorts of human-interfaces (e.g. games). It allows narrowing down the context naturally, improving discoverability (like auto-completion). Big part of the reason why I switched from Vim to Kakoune.

Subject serves the purpose of being a mini namespace/module and context for operations.

In a way, I blame FP community for being so stubborn in their mathematically-inclined notation, and not experimenting enough with trying to achieve similar human-friendly notation. But maybe I'm just missing all the historical attempts or something.

One of the most interesting spins on the topic is "subject-oriented programming" from Hoon (which is native PL for Urbit OS), where every expression is always evaluated in ever-present implicit subject context, and results in a new subject which will be used for the next expression.
To be clear, I’m not particularly advocating for my parent comment’s view that these communications should be transparent. I’m advocating for any such transparency being fair and deliberate rather than due to hacks and a protocol quirk.
There's only a few dozen remaining completely unelected "governments" in the world, and yes, we should definitely get rid of all of them.

Certainly Taiwan never had a legitimate government either until recently but now they do, demonstrating that it can be done. I hope that the CCP can peacefully give up power too, but we should not take any military options off the table.
I'm happy to pay a fair price. But I don't want to have to deal with the terrible websites most local restaurants manage to put together, and I definitely don't want to have to phone in my order. Using an app is absolutely a better way to live.

Yes, you can get pizza for lunch in Italy. I know because I had it in Sorrento. :) But I had to insist on it (hey, it's on the menu!) and the owner grumbled something something about dumb tourists and about having to heat the oven and charged me extra for it.
Indeed, Italians find that... weird :)

But so it's the whole Dutch lunch for an Italian (bread, butter and hagelslag wouldn't even be considered a meal, I think)

This is accurate, not for me but for another person on my team. He struggled for years to get promoted because of a perceived lack of focus from upper management. In reality he was handling a big part of the TL's job and several other people's job. The happy part of the story is that he got promoted a few months ago.
I do not see how AirBnB can figure it out at all, under their current business model. Their business model depends on not vetting the place of stay and doing bare minimum for deal brokerage. Dealing with this would require them to incorporate all the fine details of hoteling into the business model.

I'm curious what you mean by this

What experience level of developer are you targeting as both writer and audience?
The rest of the world... but since "South China Sea" is an English name I think a consensus among the English-speaking countries would suffice.
I was going to say that was strange as I've stayed in Nanjing and my wifes small town (of several million people) outside of Nanjing and didn't get denied, but then realized that you didn't have the marriage certificate with you. I do believe that's required everywhere. For native Chinese it's becoming easier to visit other places because the registration system is becoming more digital. That unfortunately has the side effect of making it increasingly more difficult for foreigners since the manual method is becoming less common and therefore more confusing for local police.

It is interesting in the context of AirBnB - with the registration system they can't use the same "it's better to ask forgiveness than permission" approach they used in US. I have seen very successful foreign run businesses, for example a friend who imported steel in China, do really well for many years because the government wasn't interested in their industry, and then all of sudden find himself against several competitors and be completely out of business in the space of 6-12 months. I'm bullish on AirBnB but depending on success in China is a risky strategy.

Swiss guy here, surprised to see Infomaniak on the front page of HN!

I wouldn't say companies like this come and go: Infomaniak was my first (dial-up!) internet provider in 1995 and I still have my email there. Back then they used to be a small computer shop ran by passionate hackers in Geneva, organising demo scene competitions and such, and now and they grew up and are one of the biggest and most interesting internet company in Switzerland.
Look at this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00rMVee0R4c

And there are examples from other countries too.
Right now its only available for the Swiss.

Honestly, it depends where you are from.

Given that I am from Europe, when I host in the same country as I am from (ie. The Netherlands), I am only dealing with local law. The only problem I could have, is when I am dissident according to my country. I'm not though, and if I was I'd have to host in a country unfriendly to mine.

Fastmail is an Australian company. I don't believe Australia has strong privacy laws. EU, at least, has GDPR. For most people, The Netherlands is an excellent place to host your data.

If you consider non-US cloud services, you end up in Europe as well. For example Hetzner, Jottacloud, TransIP just to mention a few.

You should also ensure they use a local domain. For example, thepiratebay.org isn't local if you consider the service is from Sweden (and if its hosted in The Netherlands, neither is thepiratebay.se). Ik.me uses the .me ccTLD; Montenegro. Not a country known for its civil rights, AFAIK.

That being said, I don't believe in 'lifetime' either. Lifetime just means 'as long as we last'. Its a risk an early adopter takes to invest. If the service succeeds, yes they might have lifetime. If it fails, it was an expensive purchase.

Case in point: Emby. I bought a lifetime license. Then they changed to closed source in version 4, and it lead to me switching to the last 3.x fork, Jellyfin. License useless.

The weird thing here, is that they provide the e-mail supposedly lifetime and free. TANSTAAFL, so the default should be suspicion. They don't do advertising. What's their profit model?
Worth noting i suspect they had some issues and maybe the company was sold? It was quite young company.
I had it for few years but there was very litle activity, no bug fixes, updates, messages. It was a bit worrysome.

Now they have changed branding and pricing so hopefuly its moving again.
> But those things could absolutely impact someone's earning potential as a worker.

There was an eye-opening article in a newspaper on a US chain like Chili's or Olive Garden(?) waiters being rated by diners with a table device.

A waiter could bring out a meal from the kitchen, and if it was "cold" or "not right", that waiter would get a 1 rating, which would result in loss of hours (from 30 or 40 hours down to 20), and eventually dismissal, by company policy.

Pretty horrible outcome since the kitchen is responsible for that.
