Because troops may not follow an officer they don't trust and respect.

When I was serving, I once came across a unit who didn't respect their commander. And the unit was pretty fucked up as a result. They weren't effective, there were whispered jokes about him, and people were showing up late & leaving early. If we had gone to war, there was a good chance that many unit members would have found ways to avoid serving under him.

His boss at the Wing/Group level should have pulled his ticket and replaced him. The phrase commonly used for this is "Loss of trust and confidence in their ability to lead".
I think this is a shockingly incorrect take on the book. It isn't meant to be totally technical, that isn't the audience or the point. It is a historical biography of a person for a generally lay, or technically inclined lay, audience.

Should we unpack these statements though?

How much of linux isn't about cgroups and namespaces? Docker I believe needs about a 100 system calls to get containers to work. How much of the tree could you shake and still have containers work? Would you still call the host Linux, or something else? And what would that system do for Windows and OS X users? Anything?

Could you maintain this 'something else' as a permanent fork, a la Red Hat?
The idea that you couldn't hide some kind of code execution exploit in a dvd-playing software and that anyone ever audits their video decoding hardware-software chain in a rigorous manner is also a rationalization.

That behavior is similar to a number of analytic databases. It's expensive to maintain constraints in large distributed datasets. Referential integrity checks are also not meaningful in denormalized fact tables. Redshift [1] and ClickHouse [2] work this way as well. If things like duplicates are an issue, you can remove them by choosing query sort orders carefully, for example.

> As for CEO being well paid, it is simply because their decisions can make the company lose or earn a lot of money.

CEO pay has risen over 900% over the last forty years:

* https://www.marketwatch.com/story/ceos-are-paid-278-times-mo...

Somehow I don't see the value that they bring to have increased by the same amount. From a Harvard study entitled "Are CEOs Rewarded for Luck? The Ones Without Principals Are":

> CEOs are rewarded for luck. Moreover, pay for luck is as large as pay for general pay for performance. Pay for luck also appears on the most discretionary components of compensation, salary and bonus. Looking closer, we found that pay for luck is strongest among poorly governed firms. Adding a large shareholder on the board, for example, decreased the pay for luck by 23 to 33 percent. This finding weakens two prominent explanations of pay for luck: “Paying for luck is optimal” and “Filtering out luck is impossible.”

* https://doi.org/10.1162/00335530152466269

* https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/sendhil/files/are_ceos_rew...

Another study, "What Makes a Winner? Toward Resolving the Role of Luck and Skill in Sustained CEO Performance":

> This study is an empirical examination of the extent to which luck can explain sustained performance. Using a unique empirical strategy of bootstrap simulations that we compare to actual performances of public companies, we observe that over 95% of the differences in performance outcomes between “top” versus “average” performers can be attributed to luck, even if all CEOs are equally skilled. Through this novel empirical approach, we can better incorporate the role of luck into studies of sustained performance, and our findings suggest that more attention should be placed on the role of unanticipated and even uncontrollable changes on performance.

Is there a precise overview/description somewhere about how international wire transfer actually works?

If I want to send someone a few USD and I know their IBAN or SWIFT + name, address, what does my bank do? Is there a Visa/MC for wire transfer? (I know that SWIFT operates a network for banks, but then how do banks settle? Is the SWIFT message a legal claim?)
Yeah, I'm interested about offline support. I might have to check out the HEY trial on web and on mobile.

I think this HTML SSR approach have different tradeoffs and uses compared to Single Page Applications.

The HTML SSR works best with a stable connection and being close to the server for good enough latency. Higher cost on the backend is a tradeoff on how much computation/complexity you want to offload to the client, and also what language/framework you want to work with more.

Some HN comments from previous related topics suggest these approaches (Hotwire / LiveView / Blazor? / StimulusReflex / Intercooler / HTMX / Unpoly) fare better with apps targeting a specific region so roundtrip latency is lower. One can optimize the reads with DB replicas + app servers closer to any user, but the write DB is the bottleneck (I think). This also ties in with the feedback that US/EU HEY/BC users perceive the app as snappy enough while AU users feel the latency a lot more.

SPA (properly built) should be more resilient in regards to network stability/condition/latency and expose a lot more offline capability.

I feel like the ideal app is HTML SSR + an app shell to serve some offline capabilities. Scaling the write DB globally is a hard problem though.
I honestly don't see anything that isn't worth regretting in hindsight. Even decisions made five seconds ago are worth regretting if you have "perfect" as your yard stick. I have better things to do than write this comment yet it's out there on HN.
How did people find businesses and tradespeople back in the day? Either word of mouth or through the phone book.

Word of mouth is good because it encourages businesses to provide the best service & value as that will directly affect whether they get referrals or not.

Phone book is also good because although it's similar to advertising, it's advertising that benefits both sides. The customer is in the market for a service and looks at ads from businesses that are looking for customers, unlike now where ads are pushed at you even when you don't actually need anything and distract you from whatever task you were doing.

There's no reason we can't have a modern version of the "phone book" where businesses can publish ads for a nominal fee (to pay for a background check to ensure they're legitimate) and prospective customers can then search through it.
Surely you must be mistaken here; Square Enix owns the Chrono Trigger IP, not Nintendo.
Your comment kind of made sense until you bolted on a parathetical tangent to the statement.

Is over-representation something that should be combated in all cases or only if the over-represented group is labeled by the woke as "white"? Can or can't you be racist to someone who is "white"? Does this apply universally or only in the western hemisphere. Are the Chinese "white"? Only in China perhaps? What about the Uyghurs or the Jews are they "white"? What about in China or Israel?

This doesn’t compare to the most common approach to long haul wireless in rural areas.

There are many competitors that use an omnidirectional tower and directional antennas at customer sites.

A recent competitor in this space regularly achieves 6 miles at >100Mbps (~16mbps uplink):

https://www.telecompetitor.com/wisps-get-cbrs-range-as-great...

FB is claiming 6Mbps down (1.2 up) at 12 miles for their approach, which doesn’t seem to rely on fixed location customer antennas.

> We should evaluate "success" holistically, not just financially or else we miss the downstream effects of our decisions. This blindness is the same mindset that has caused climate change.

Your comment is guilty of the very sin that it's pointing at.

It may be myopic (or blind as you qualified it) to try to frame success, but unless you have some special kind of sight that allows you to evaluate it yourself across time and space, the alternative you suggest, that hypothetical holistic grand evaluation, is itself a pointless exercise.

No one knows the future. No one knows what's ultimately "good" or "bad". The same people who keep thinking that they do are also the ones who operate under at least one of three illusions: (1) that something is wrong with the world, (2) that it's fixable and (3) that they know how to fix it. As Oppenheimer once said, it is perfectly obvious that the whole world is going to hell. The only possible chance that it might not is that we do not attempt to prevent it from doing so.
I highly recommend Play, by Stuart Brown

https://www.amazon.com/Play-Shapes-Brain-Imagination-Invigor...

It walks though why and how play is important to both individuals and societies and gives some good advice on cultivating playfulness.

P.S. From my experience, it's not that our ability to explore or make random jokes has decayed as we get older, but that we choose to put ourselves in fewer situations where we can use those abilities.
I wouldn't necessarily say that they're not capable of serious games. I would say that they're not capable of high-spec games, and that those are distinct things. Even in a phone, the limiting factor on your ability to play something fast-paced -- like Tetris or Street Fighter or a Metroidvania -- is less about the GPU, and more about the controls and the networking. With better display casting coming (multiple vendors employing 6GHz WiFi are targeting this as a use case, including for VR), and every console's controllers using Bluetooth and getting supported by general-purpose OSes, this is going to get better over time - Particularly after the Mac/Windows ecosystems have further shifted toward ARM and studios begin to target the platform in a way that isn't specifically about capturing the mobile market.

Because don't get me wrong, the internals are a factor -- the ARM/x86 gap was significantly wider in the Tegra X1's day, it was already multiple years old when the Switch shipped, and being the only console on ARM can't have helped with attracting third parties. But as a Switch owner who has played a lot of Smash on the thing, what's really holding it back as a dedicated console is that it has a lot of nagging quality of life issues -- things like the inability to get a good first-party D-Pad, and their persistently baffling refusal to ship Ethernet despite it being standard on every competing platform since the original XBox. Their solution for the latter when they announced the details for Smash Ultimate was to say "lol hope you've got an adapter!" Which also makes the netplay worse at scale by ensuring that even more players are going to just resort to WiFi instead. (Not that the game's netcode can't also be outperformed by an emulator that people are using to play its 20-year-old predecessor.) These issues are one thing for a phone, but there's a completely separate bar for a device that's literally built for this.

The problem with the Switch isn't just the audience it's made for, or that because of that target it isn't keeping up with games like Cyberpunk. It's that even when you get to some of the areas where it should shine -- titles like Tetris 99, or Hollow Knight -- it's also tangibly worse at playing them than its competitors, for reasons that have nothing to do with its frame rate.

> Although Nintendo hasn't been as bad about this in recent years, I vowed to never give them money again after they wiped out countless numbers of YouTube channels with walkthroughs for games they don't even publish anymore.

They're not much better now. Check out what happened to The Big House for trying to use said emulator's netplay to run a Melee tournament during a plague, and all the ensuing fallout. I'm genuinely starting to consider migrating back off Nintendo consoles over it myself.

> “During the darkest days of the Model 3 program, I reached out to Tim Cook to discuss the possibility of Apple acquiring Tesla (for 1/10 of our current value),” Mr. Musk said in a tweet Tuesday. But the Apple CEO, he said, “refused to take the meeting.”

The UK officials (as did other western European officials) did boycott the world cup. It is a really weak message. A real message would have been to boycott the world cup entirely (not just the UK, but all of Europe). It would not only have sent a strong message to the Russian government—but more importantly the Russian public would have hated it. Imagine your country can finally hold the World Cup, only to have your military ruin it by doing something stupid like annexing a peninsula you don’t care about.

The other examples (AM2R and Full Screen Mario) were shut down by Nintendo though and I have no doubt Nintendo will quickly shut down any future fanmade project touching their any of their IP if it gains any attention at all.

I've used Turbolinks/Stimulus with Django. I can't speak to the new hotwire stuff, other than the relatviely minor Stimulus2 changes.

Honestly it's pretty straightforward and the API is tiny. It's great for that grey area between serving server-loaded static pages and full-blown SPA - for example CRUD apps (and lots of things are pretty much CRUD apps). Turbolinks gives you a "poor man's SPA" for little effort (albeit with some gotchas) and Stimulus is fine, although it gets tedious for when you have to work with a lot of DOM elements e.g. "when I click the Subscribe button, change it to an Unsubscribe button". Maybe a less imperative framework like AlpineJS might be simpler.
