One question that I apparently answered wrong for years as a German are the traffic lights. In English, traffic light seems to refer only to the assembly of two or three lights used to control the flow of traffic. The equivalent German word most commonly refers to the entire installation, including the pole, button (for pedestrians and visually impaired), speaker (for the visually impaired) etc.

So I selected much more than what Google expected me to select, I selected all the cables and poles as well.

I'm pretty glad that hCaptcha at least gives me an example of what it's looking for
I'm old enough to resent my younger zoomer siblings' taste in music, and have once been crushed to realize a song on the radio I was enjoying was a Billie Eilish song. Yes, I am a cranky millennial. We are old enough to be cranky now.

At first I didn't understand what this website was, but once I realized everything was synced up and thought about the technical work to make it all work... this is brilliant.
Simple, more immigration means people need more homes. That's why the term house crisis doesn't make any sense. It's all artificial and made up by the government.
Yeah that was my thinking too, but it should still have a manual override of some kind, if for no other reason than the possibility of a child getting stuck inside.

It already exists, it's called giving cows the right feed, and it has been done in Italy since the early middle ages. Quality requires effort, and the whole problem arises from Grana Padano producers being stingy and wanting to reuse byproducts of corn production instead of growing or buying the right types of grass.
This was stolen from Atomic Object, then contorted. AO had this as one of its original five workplace tenets. But it was more like "help each other out". Last I looked, they changed it to "care deeply", which I guess is more PC.
Docker on mac is a vm, and things relating to volume mounts are horrendous. Switched to a linux laptop (aero15) and things work now.
Imo, the fix for the housing crisis is for governments to invest in the economies of small towns and cities with lots of land that can be built on or property that is vacant. Everybody wants to live in sf, new york, seattle, etc. because they are where the jobs are and that also attracts culture. If state governments could give grants or tax credits for companies to start or expand out to other parts of states that are under utilized, this could cause people to move to those areas and relieve pressure on the overpopulated areas.

You got it. There's some technical information for, you know, administering business, like doing CFO and COO, stuff but the main purpose for "famous" MBAs is to make friends you can do deals with.

>You need to be on guard and skeptical about anyone critical of renewables, because there's been a coordinated and large-scale campaign by oil companies to push climate denialism

So my argument that hydrogen is sourced vastly from fossil fuels is disregarded because I'm critical of renewables?
It would be interesting to see if I include more people with this feature. I think that I use it only when I would have gone up and added them to the CC line, but I would have to try to call out what I want them to see in the email.

I'm pretty sure that's the only way to run it on Mac OSX. Sure, you can have fancy tools to hide the VM and make it less visible (Docker Desktop), but it's still there.
In addition to the normal pressures against boarding houses, COVID has dramatically increased the undesirable nature of that housing.

Don't be too quick to take it at face value. It's hard to write down what is actually in one's head, even for experienced writers. I'm sure he'll tell you a lot more on the stuff he claims he doesn't know if you had the good fortune of having a chat with him in person. Also, keep in mind that he probably knows deeply about some things and their extents, and so his definition of words like 'fuzzy' should be different from that of an intern's. As he puts it himself,

which can be very valuable.
OpenBSD removes Bluetooth support (2014)
One of the fears of a technical downturn I have is that I might be forced to look for work with a CEO like this. They care nothing about you but ask that you care immensely about them. It’s like an abusive relationship where one person takes constantly and gaslights you into believing actually it’s good.

They’ll outsource your job if they can, claiming a foreign worker will work harder and care more, when in reality they’re able to act like tollbooths on bridges to America extracting what they can from people who want to escape their country.
Well, there was the time that the "server down" icon for S3 wouldn't render because it was itself hosted on S3:

Never saw anybody do this. There might be some people who can get their part done quickly and are no longer interested in climbing the ladder, but that must be quite rare. People are not evaluated on the amount of time they spend in their chairs.
KLOC can be a useful productivity metric to track at an individual developer level, given the developer works in the same domain for an extended period of time, and has the professional and skill level maturity not to game it. That relies on management that doesn't try to aggregate it or compare it in an apples to oranges fashion across developers, domains or (worse) languages.

The problem is that this is a theoretical scenario which rarely comes up in reality. The developers operating at the skill and maturity level where tracking their individual productivity and quality can be done well, generally are not the developers who really need these types of measures, and they usually aren't left grinding on the same domain for the years required to have enough data to do anything useful with it.

It is kind of a catch 22. The situations where tracking and gaining insight from KLOCs would help (mature/skilled devs working on the same thing over and over for years...doesn't happen much), are not the situations where it is most needed (projects with hundreds of relatively inexperienced/immature developers and managers)

The result is it is applied to disastrous effect in situations where immature managers glom onto it as a silver bullet for managing the unmanageable.

After reading the comments: I wouldn't grill the author too much about his idealistic views on things. He's 23 and got some media attention for exactly that attribute.

From crunchbase: "Scale, which accelerates its customers' AI development by democratizing access to intelligent data [...] After dropping out of M.I.T. to become a teenage tech lead at Quora, Alexandr founded Scale in 2016 and became the youngest entrepreneur ever... [etc.]"

So nothing that is revolutionary, new or (IMHO) interesting so I imagine this post was written after having maybe hundreds of interviews with senior engineers, really not being too psyched about the companies offering.

Funny enough, when I apply for contracts instead of employment I never got asked the question what makes me passionate about the business. In many ways, recruiters seem to be more professional with freelancers than when interviewing potential employees, even though the cost of a freelancer is usually higher.

My advice when you want generally interested people is: hire juniors and hire for seniors as shepherds, figuratively speaking. Unless you have something that people care about (which is usually outside the B2B market) that's a better bet than to assume that anyone senior really would give a shit about your business model.
The housing crisis is really a people refuse to leave Toronto and Vancouver crisis, no matter how little they make. It is also a refusal to live in anything without a lawn.

Imagine if San Francisco had wages which were often lower than Cleveland for many jobs, but had the same housing prices. That is the state of Toronto and Vancouver. Incomes there are lower than other Canadian cities.

The other issue is that Canadians are very used to lots and lots of space. 500 sqft per person kind of space. Lots of lawn for the kids to run around on kind of space.

Combine a refusal of people to leave those two cities and the desire for detached spread out housing, and you get this.

Wages can't rise either as there are tons of people who are willing to stay in Toronto no matter how relatively poorer they are as a result. In an economically rational market, people would leave Toronto over the costs and salaries would rise (like they have in San Francisco, where people have left to Seattle and Denver and remote work over pay not going very far). That is not happening in any meaningful quantity.
I was trying to remember the situation where in physics, under certain conditions, a proof that shows infinity can be represented numerically as -1/12 (it was some obscure fraction yet after seeing it, I think this was the value).

I couldn't for the life of me remember the set of conditions and proof that shows this but it was interesting when reading through it a few years ago.

I generally like this advice but also worry that unsaid number 3 is “only hire people without boundaries who will fully devote themselves to your company until they burn out.”

I’d love to see more companies that give you a reasonable work life balance so that they can continue to benefit from you giving a shit long term. Let me be clear I know nothing about Scale in particular but I have seen other places where the insidious version of the advice here becomes a hiring funnel that churns through passionate workers burning them out.

Pretty bold claim My Graham. What evidence is there for this?
This seems to be Canada focus, but the US seems very similar with affordability issues in major cities. Everything I am seeing an hearing about housing cost in the US related to land, labor and lumber. Cost per sqft is crazy high and getting higher, builders would be able to build more but there just isn't enough highly qualified labor in the US, and the shutdown is preventing lumber from being milled. We cannot do anything about Covid lumber shortage or the land shortage but we can do something about the Labor shortage. When I was in high school, there were shop classes, and home building classes that focused on the building trades. These classes were in the processed of being phased out to focus on students going to college and STEM. The US education system needs to focus on being an on ramp for College and Trade-schools and stop selling on students short.

How is that a solution in search of a problem? It solves the following legitimate problems:

1) Neighbor exceeding their access permissions when entering your home.

2) Finding a convenient time to visit your neighbors once you come back (and the delay between coming home and having access to the stuff).
Yeah I feel like it's also adding a redundant extension to email, which is a perfectly good and time-tested technology. It's just one more way to create a wedge feature to create an inferior experience for people not using the MS product without actually adding any value over what's already available from CC/BCC
When Obama asked Steve Jobs about those manufacturing jobs coming back to the US Jobs said it ain't gonna happen. The benefits of centralizing and critical mass are just too important. Being able to lunch with people and get into the same space to innovate, to read body language. It's to big of an advantage. Just like independent rural homestead living collapsed into small town and cities, small towns are cities are collapsing into metropolises. It is inevitable. Geographic centralisation gives you so much more efficiency it's undeniable.

Have you looked at a satellite map of the US? So little of it remains natural. The last thing we need is even more sprawl.
Paul Graham is in desperate need of people in his life that tell him 'no'.
To be a successful scientist... you can't publish papers saying things other people already know

PG may have some good insights sometimes, but it's rare I see him get something so completely wrong as this.

Reproducing research to demonstrate a result was correct or not is a cornerstone in the foundation of science. A fundamental problem in the research community is that incentives as misaligned to support that initiative, and so there are an endless stream of papers published that are either flawed in themselves or obtained spurious results that wouldn't hold up under additional systematic scrutiny.

Worse, these flawed pieces of research feed into the sound-byte media cycle and over time have eroded public trust & confidence in the scientific process. To some extent that's unavoidable when preliminary research, even well performed, us taken out of context. But every study performed with a handful of subjects that producing a weak result with controversial implications will be shouted from the roof tops nonetheless.

So, to PG saying a successful scientist must pursue novel research: stop navel gazing on the superiority of SV values and looking to shove them into every area of human endeavor. You're wrong, and sometimes dangerously so.

Similarly, I installed docker-machine and docker (via Homebrew) on my M1 mac via Rosetta 2, and connect to a remote docker host, similar in configuration to this blog post (which really has a misleading title).

This all makes sense. It seems like there would be some special edge cases around the finite/NaN boundary that would be rarely exercised. I wonder if/how those are handled.

That's not bias that's a somewhat informed opinion and a conscious decision. I suppose I could go talk to people as a further step, but frankly I don't care that much and that's what journalism is supposed to be for.

That's not to say I don't have bias, just that it's not some magical word you can say to make someone's statement irrelevant or that in this context you were even correct.

I strongly disagree with this post for my company. But that is great, it means there is a company for everyone.

At my company one of our most important values is "live the life you love". For each person we try to understand how the company can help them achieve their personal goals.

If someone wants to work a ton of hours to get promoted as fast as possible, we support that. But if they want a balanced life we support that too. We have people that are close to retirement that want to work half time. We support that. If people want to work remotely, we support that. Some people really want to work in an office. We support that. One person wanted to buy a ranch, another wanted to write a book, many people want to start their own companies.

We are running a marathon, not a sprint. We monitor people's hours and have a discussion if their hours are regularly at too high a rate (some people like it). We know that they will eventually burn out, will start to make bad decisions etc.

I don't want to be party to a cult where people's every waking moment revolves around the company. I dont want people to be obsessed with what we do, though I do want people to have fun. I dont need to wring every ounce of profitability out of the company at the expense of the people.

I mountain bike before work, sometimes leave work to kitesurf if the wind is up, work on another startup on the side, go to most of my kids' presentations, take them to afterschool activities where I stay and watch etc. I want all of my employees to be able to do those things too if they want.
Was a while since I read it, but isn't this pretty much the plot of The Circle?
I wouldn't be surprised if some people get away with it, especially if they reach a certain specialization in a core codebase and are okay letting their career coast. It is not "the common paradigm" as stated in the article (at least, it wasn't in the NYC office 2014-2016).
> The second one is especially hard to grok for non-techies. I have to explain that if you insist on accurate estimates, you will get grossly padded estimates [0]. And the work will expand to fit the time available (sometimes resulting in the task exceeding even the massively padded estimates because the work expanded with the estimate). I've had many entertaining conversations attempting to explain this.

> I also think very few people in the US would be able to make life changing decisions with $1,500, but that’s conjecture and neither here nor there.

Americans have just received $1200-$2400 in coronavirus stimulus checks, and so we can look at the outcomes and see if it changed their lives. As it happened, it mostly went to reduce debt and into savings. Helpful, but not life changing.

It’s Toyota dragging down the technology by making horrible cars, clearly, themselves conscious or not.

Like, Fisker Karma was basically as fast and quick as a Tesla. Lots of hybrid hypercars are faster than petrol counterparts. It’s Toyota Prius that’s smearing hybrids.
In Germany privacy is a real thing, in the US it's a figment of everyone's imagination.
If a point is the intersection of two lines, and a line is the intersection of two planes, then what structures intersect to give a plane? Two 3D spaces? And so the intersection of 2 4D spaces should give a 3D space? How do I express these ideas with GA?
And I certainly still benefit from such incentives, even in the nordics (private health insurance, time off beyond the 25 days mandated by law, etc are still a thing in a competitive labor market here).

I just see more benefit personally when a basic level of these things is offered to everyone. I don’t need the extra anxiety that my friend, bandmate, barista, or bartender is one crisis away from ruin.
There's a lot of misinformation about this but there's really no waiting period and really hasn't been since AC21.
> Do you think it was worth it?
For an obsessed person, it’s always worth it.

No, just no. It's not absolutely always worth it. Especially when you "give a shit about it" and then find it really wasn't worth it. That's really bad.

Also, giving a shit is not a dichotomy. I don't just give a shit about either everything or nothing at all.

Give me a reason to give a shit about what you do in particular.
Unless you are measuring one's capability to give a shit in absolute terms, which is very hard to assess in terms of productivity gains.
Is there any significant number of professionals who think tiny homes are a solution to anything? I am more under the impression that the people touting these were mainly arm-chair urban planners, more motivated by pinterest than safe and efficient resource allocation. Apartments are safer, cheaper, more efficient, easier to build, etc.
