> For some reason, high level managers need very expensive consultants to tell them the obvious truths.

As a very expensive consultant I'm surprised the reason is not more clear to you. Most managers like to pay consultancy firms so that they can cover their asses.

If they just followed the guidelines of what the McKinsey team said then surely they weren't in the wrong. Whilst if they followed the advice of a subordinate or god forbid made a decision it's on them.
If you cannot explain it, you don't really understand it.
I pay the $\approx$ 1 USD a month for Posteo, but after reading about Migadu, I might decide to switch over. Their pro/con page[1] is extremely refreshing. I know this doesn't really matter, but the whole design of their site is very attractive to me following the brutalist/minimalist style (see also miniflux[2] or lobsters[3]).

What you wrote is simply nonsense.

You can watch any of the Youtube NTD/Epoch media channels to see what's really going on in China. The CCP makes the WW2 Axis countries look like choir boys.

Regarding Xinjiang, by moving people around like a shell game, their reproductive cycle can be disrupted. If you do that for 2 generations, you achieve ethnic cleansing without shooting anybody in the head.

The involuntary organ harvesting stories are much worse in reality. It appears retired CCP members are using organs like new batteries to last to 150 years old.

Pronouncing kubernetes was a problem for me as a greek (greek way would be kee-vaer-nee-tees and it means governor). Getting my mind to use the english word tripped me out, and using the greek pronunciation didn't make sense to anybody.
Since trying to say "kubernetes" just trips my mind, I say kubernet (coobearnet). And use the same term "kubernet" for both "kubernetes" and the "k8s" shortcut.

Kubernet = "k for graph (eg k-anonymity, k-neighbor search), uber for awesome, net for network!" It's a very descriptive and easy to pronounce/memorize name that frees my mind from the greek pompousness.

PS. k0s, I would pronounce "Cause" or maybe... (to make a silly bloodborne reference) Kos, some say Kosm
The core doesn't really move that fast. 90% of everything is still an injection vulnerability of one form or another, and if you go above the level of vulns, most organizations are really looking for people to do risk analysis, in which case, the actual vulns somewhat become less central (however there are lots of different types of security engineers, and lots of them have very different responsibilities)

It depends a lot on what you're doing of course. I do web application security stuff (glorified xss detector), i've personally felt that the most useful tools by far are the browser dev console and curl, but ymmv.

I have a couple of friends who have opened and run their own restaurants - there is an awful lot more to it than that and most restaurants fail for reasons that are nothing to do with the capabilities of the chef.

If we could only isolate these companies in a small geographical sub-segment and let them duke it out there, and then maybe rescue whoever emerges victorious, but otherwise declare the whole thing a Superfund site...

What I mean is: you're neglecting the collateral damage. These companies, fighting tooth and claw to win the prize (whether imaginary or real), are destroying the business space in which they operate, and adding to misery of the local communities.

> Is DoorDash extracting money from its users, the restaurants and the delivery drivers? Or is it actually providing something of value?

The way I see it, they provide a big value to its users - convenience and decent ordering experience. At the same time, they also take away a different value - consistency of quality in delivery (and make you think it's the restaurant's fault). The users are probably net ahead, but there's no free lunch (pun intended)! DoorDash & Uber Eats are providing this value by burning through the supply restaurants and abusing delivery workers. They're strip-mining the industry.

(Personally, I'm surprised it's DoorDash that's winning. I was always betting on Uber Eats - because Uber has abuse and sociopathy deep in its corporate DNA, as they did all these things and more while building their international rideshare empire.)

Why tech innovators, startups ditch Silicon Valley for Austin
> I am not planning to retire.

With all due respect, you probably should plan around this. What if you suddenly die tomorrow? I'm not trying to threaten or scare you, its just that you (and your customers) should plan around this. An example of such planning which likely fits the glove for all readers here, is to have your private key or password at a notary.
Honestly I think a lot of things in life would shake out properly if Most Favored Customer clauses[0] were made blanket illegal by large marketplace aggregators. So that would be stores, visa, costco, walmart, ebay, amazon, uber, etc. I think they are the fairly key lynch pins that make these abusive relationships work with larger market players leveraging their position against smaller ones.

With no more MFC clauses, retailers can charge a flat out %3 tax to all credit card users and pass the fee down properly to incentivize them to not use credit cards. Restaurants can list on doordash with the extra fees baked into prices. A %10-30 discount might be enough to incentivize people to call in, etc.

I'm not a law maker, so I don't know how many industries would be screwed up by this. Does anyone think making MFC clauses illegal would screw over society or industries other than organizations that abuse them? Are MFC clauses needed because otherwise useful services would die from prisoner's dillemas? A classic one is the 'maid on order' or 'dogwalker on order' kind of startups because people collude and quickly just create a direct relationship to save money, and you lose benefits like getting ratings and other such things. It makes me wonder.

I can see your point, but it depends on how technical their glue work is, if you like.

In the post, she mentions for example:

> The manager has a bunch of teams and is starting to rely on Engineer to know what's going on with this one. Hey, Awesome Coder seems blocked. Do you know what the deal is?
>
> Our Engineer investigates, discovers that Awesome Coder needs information from another team but is mired in a three week long email thread. She talks to some people in real life, figures out what the confusion is, sorts it out. Awesome Coder is unblocked. He says thank you, writes thousands of lines of code.

This sounds to me like she knows exactly what's going on in the relevant part of the codebase to be able to get the information to unblock Awesome Coder.

> A customer comes in with a request: they want data that the API really should be able to provide but the team hasn't prioritised this feature yet. Our friend here spends a couple of days manually getting the data the customer needs. The customer is overjoyed.

Again, it looks like she's perfectly fine writing productive code when you let her.

I've worked with several great people in the past who exactly fit the description of "glue person" - although most of them were male - and I found that mostly, while the Awesome Coder types had an excellent understanding of their own part of the code, the glue people were the only ones who really understood how things worked together. So you got someone in team A saying why not replace libX with libY because it makes our Z easier, and the glue person speaks up and says actually I worked with someone on Team B last week, and they're using feature W of libX.

Tanya herself admits that "is this person a Senior Engineer" is controversial. But I'd say that someone who is glue in a way that clearly demonstrates a deep technical understanding of the codebase should qualify, even if that understanding is not demonstrated by writing her own code.
Mini flux looks amazing. I’m a fan of this type of design. You’ll like FastMail, if you can ignore the stupid cliche cartoons on the homepage and actually use their web email client. Very much Brutalist circa 2005 style.

> Localized scripts are exclusionary to everyone else

It's the other way around, not supporting other letters is excluding everyone else because essentially only English doesn't have diacritics.

"Año" and "ano" are not the same word, degrading to ascii only is not an acceptable solution. Imagine for example that the letters 'd', 'q' and 'w', weren't availabe in domain names for some reason and you had to use alternatives. That's how it feels.
I did not say you do not deserve anonymity. I simply disagreed with the OP who laughed at a possibilty of any kind of privacy unless complete anonymity was guaranteed. While not arguing regarding the validity of the proposition above, I simply wanted to highlight that those are two different concepts that have two different entries in a thesaurus.

Example everyone can relate to: when you go to a doctor, they look at your medical history and in most cases you need an appointment first. This means your visit is no longer anonymous. However, I think everyone agrees that you still deserve privacy with respect to the details of your visit.
Well if you're willing to push boundries, you can certainly do the same with TLS. Ask why the TLS spec does X instead of Y, for various subtle design decisions. This is probably actually much easier to do than with a binary tree, as TLS is a lot more complex and a lot more subtle. It would certainly be an appropriate line of questioning if you were hiring a crypto engineer, not sure it would be relavent to a security engineer or software engineer.
Books that get banned will only get more popular.

Sooner or later it backfires.

This is what happens when the society becomes so childish and immature that they would rather ban something than to try and understand what caused the book to be written.

Once you start banning X, you will move on to banning Y sooner or later. Then it will be Z, and sooner or later the things you like and do in your everyday life.

> You can just scrap the company and do an other one.

In this case probably yes, that's what the limited liability is for in companies. Though if you have legal issues with the old company, some jurisdictions may not let you start another one (or at least be director).

If it's Google (Photos) or HP (lifetime printing) making the promise and driving competitors out of the market, I think it's a valid claim.

> An other option is just to change the terms

I'm not sure if that's an option if your customer has signed up under "lifetime" terms. While these parts of the terms they've signed up for are void, they could claim that they've had damages (costs or missed opportunities) by this "immoral" offer.

Git is one of those technologies where it's super important to get a good grasp of how to internals work. Once you got that, it get easier to answer git questions for others or yourself, and to read the documentation or man pages, as you know what is happening.

With how software devs use git, it's 100% worth it to read a good book on it.
To answer your question about deleting a remote branch: branches are usually features, e.g. fixes, new features, etc. Once I've pushed to the remote and merged, the branch is no longer necessary. This is why someone would delete a remote branch.
It's "just" 4 GPUs and 64 CPU cores. Nvidia has a flavor of Linux for it, but it's basically just Ubuntu with Nvidia drivers and tools. You can rent a machine pretty similar to this on AWS (P3 instances) for about $12/hour, but it has the last-gen V100 GPUs.

You'd usually run CUDA applications that can take advantage of the GPUs. Deep learning is all the rage these days, and the new A100 GPUs are particularly well-suited. Many HPC applications like computational fluid dynamics simulation take advantage of GPUs nowadays. There are also a number of visualization applications that GPUs excel at.

IMO, Bit Coin resolved nothing it claimed to resolve. A great example is the existence of so called crypto exchange. Why are the exchanges there anyway? Because the two parties of a transaction simply cannot and never should trust each other, so they will need a neutral 3rd party to arbitrate when necessary. Okay, then the scenario simply become a catch 22: in order to decentralize, we'll have to need trusted authority(ies) which has(ve) to be centralized. But if we simply cannot get rid of the centralized authority(ies), then why we would ever decentralize in the beginning at all?
Use Decision Records Already
I think your perception of what a high level person like Mudge does is a bit off. At Stripe he did amazing work, but it was mostly organizational. He built a world class team, defined a set of short, medium and long term goals that enabled the company to reduce risks over time, had his team build tools to measure that risk and held them accountable for moving the needle.

That is to say, he did executive level work. I imagine he’ll do similarly great work at Twitter, setting them up for long term success, just as he did at Stripe

I don't agree at all. Git is the simplest version control system I've ever used. The concept of merging, rebasing, cherry-picking, and resetting works so naturally that I'm basically going to expect this level of ease of use from any VCS I use going forward.

That being said, I know there are some who have trouble with Git. But IMO it isn't because Git is hard, but because they don't have to truly understand Git to use it. That's how easy it is.
To be fair I have seen a company who had a dedicated git guy who was committing, merging, pushing whatever on behalf of the developer after nth time some of them screwed the repo completely.
When I started learning how to use I had people telling me it is difficult, but were not able to explain why they think it is difficult and I started learning having this in mind and that made it unnecessarily complicated. I think once you know all the terminology and a few workflow scenarios, then it is very easy.
First, I don't get why diversity is given passing mention when there's nothing related specific to diversity or gender politics in the solid idea discussed by the article.

I also tend to value this sort of work and I aspire to be this sort of person, but it's easy to see how a company would end up incentivizing their engineers to create more stuff.

Creating stuff gives glue types their chance to optimize the small stuff.

Meanwhile, it's genuinely harder to find someone who can rise to the occasion of high technical output after doing a good glue job, than it is someone who does great technical work and can also be this sort of glue person.

Someone who does a lot of high impact technical work can identify bottlenecks and could very well do the same work as the glue person. The opposite isn't always true.

It's also much harder to figure out if someone is just very nice and doing work that would be picked up by someone else in their absence or if they are indeed identifying pain points no one else could.
Don't forget tutanota ;)
I had a great time reading the comments! Amusing to see the (natural) mixed skepticism and praise for a new product.
I work with people who continue to struggle with it, and occasionally make a mess that I have to clean up. They've watched the tinker toy video, and others.
Then oppose businesses like DoorDash and Uber Eats! It's because they can get away with their abusive business practices that a fairer competitor can't exist.

> If you can make better food than your competitors, you'll thrive - the delivery services make that more true, not less. Stick to your USP and outsource everything else.

I'm not convinced this is true. IME, delivery-wise, most restaurants are pretty interchangeable, and people make the decision on price. So "stick to your USP and outsource everything else" means that you should outsource cooking to a ghost kitchen and just focus on maintaining a brand. Which is something we start to see happening.

I fear the end game is still going to be DoorDash & friends just contracting or operating their own ghost kitchens, and creating hundreds of fake "brands" that are all sourced from the same kitchens. Recently the online retail sector has demonstrated it's a very viable business model. See the countless noname brands on Amazon, et al.
Goodhart’s Law Can Save Machine Learning
I agree with what you say. The difference is that you consider a provider your adversary when it comes to the task of that control and I consider a GDPR-respecting company to be my partner in that attempt (yes, I know who Snowden is) to control [what kind of things about yourself you would like to expose].
There are plenty of US tech companies that have success in China.

For example I often use Agoda or hotels.com when I travel in China.

I think AirBnB will have plenty of competition in China and broader Asia from well-established players such as CTrip, Agoda or Rakuten.

The "social network" (rating your visitors etc.) aspect of AirBnB I think will matter less in those parts of the world ... but maybe I am wrong and things will change.
