It'd be nice if CUs were easier to install, but on-prem Exchange management isn't that much work once it's running smoothly. It'd be nice if they made it easier to firewall off more from your AD environment too.

But most Exchange management I do is mailbox management, and you have to do that if it's in the cloud too.

I was wondering if it was an early piece. It really isn't very good.
There is a similarity to the work of Charles and Ray Eames. Though motivated by the possibilities of mass-manufacture, but still produced many designs that could not be produced cost-effectively at scale.

Their aims for mass-manufactured, well-designed goods has been best realized by IKEA.

Were the Bauhaus and the Eames' failures because they did not realize the potential of their ideas? Obviously not! It is fascinating to study Bauhaus precisely because it is a hinge, a link between a world of craft-work and the world of mass-production. If you look at how they spent their time and organized their classes, it looks very old-school - but in that context, they were forward looking and set the aims for a new generation of design.
Having been in both academia (albeit only for a Master's, so Ph.D. treatment I saw only from third-person perspective) and industry, the main difference is what happens when you do land in a bad situation (i.e. with a bad supervisor). If you are in industry with a job skill for which there is demand, if you have a bad supervisor you just start shopping for a new job. So, regardless of whether or not the % of bad supervisors is different, the effects on you are different. If you have a bad supervisor, start interviewing, even if you can't afford to quit the job you have until a new one is found.

The fact that Ph.D. students tend to be much younger than their bosses probably also has something to do with it; experienced employees are more likely to realize "this is not normal", and leave.
This was a great resource when I was learning about the KF, EKF, and UKF last year :-) Thanks a lot for making this!
I've only been in industry, not academia, though I have heard many anecdotal stories similar to yours.

In industry, you need to produce. A manager is measured by how much he/she produces, which means how much his/her team produces. So, you could have an asshole manager, but push it too hard and you'll cause too much churn (people leaving your team), which then greatly reduces your productivity until it hits zero. If you're an asshole on top of not making the team produce, you'll be very quickly out of a job.

Probably more common is that managers are polite but incompetent. You might have ones who do as little as possible and stay out of people's way, or those that try to micromanage everything. Either way, not providing a lot of value, but as it's about par for many companies, they'll keep their jobs. And then sometimes you get managers who really are great and you love working for them and they help everyone on the team grow and become super-productive. And you might even follow them around as they switch companies just so you can continue to work for them.

Oh, sorry, so I will add that this depends on the company culture, so there might be companies where the culture is just abusive, and everyone at the company is just an asshole. People will show up, decide they don't like it and leave right away, leaving only the assholes to all enjoy each other's company.

I'm a professor and have worked in industry.

Let me break down the issues a bit on the education side, first. Almost always by year 4+ most PhD students are fatigued and starting to get very weary. I was definitely one of them, and at times I did feel like my supervisor wasn't helping my career development or giving me enough mentoring. He is a wonderful, kind, and creative person and he spent 1-2 hours per week with me, but for whatever reason I still felt this way.

I eventually decided I felt that way because he didn't make his expectations for me finishing and tailoring those expectations to my career goals clear up front, and very few advisors do so. The first thing I did when I became a professor was write up an expectations document, and when students want to join my lab I walk them through it, and even then we do a trial run if they still want to. I think this helps a lot. Each semester I review career goals, progress to graduation, etc. with a student, and we include things like publication targets, internships, etc., depending on career goals. I think of my PhD students as my apprentices, and it is my job to get them to be strong scientists and to help them achieve their career goals, as long as they put the work in. Once I became a professor I was much more understanding and sympathetic to my own advisor. Until you have the job, you don't really understand the challenges.

All that said, I've seen very bad advisors who exploit students, fail to mentor them well, make them stay far longer than needed (ambitious new faculty), neglect to push them hard enough to actually achieve their career ambitions (tenured faculty past their prime), and various sorts of emotional abuse.

Industry is no picnic, though. Depending on the job, you may have little autonomy (you don't get to decide what you do, unlike academia), be abused in terms of work hours (many start ups), subjected to micromanagement, and verbal abuse definitely does exist.

Take a look at "Ask A Manager" and you will hear many many tales of abuse and drama in industry: https://www.askamanager.org/

Never ever ever stay where someone treats you badly. There are great leaders out there, go work for them. I ask questions in my interviews to get at what kind of leader I'll be working for and that's the #1 consideration for me. I want to work with people who care.

By the same token, I try to take excellent care of my teammates and coworkers who report to me. The primary way I do this is by reporting to them as well.
Deep fake propaganda is not really a problem. I've spent the past two years working in the media forensics space. Deep fakes ended up being much less of a threat than anticipated. Anti deep fake models are quite proficient now too.

The big problem now is semantic forensics - taking media out of context and spinning a new narrative.

Marketing agencies are not universally, but commonly abusive of young employees as they are seen as easily replaceable. The goal is to get a much work out of recent college graduates before completely burning them out and then firing or having them quit from stress and exhaustion. This typically takes 2-3 years of 50-70 hour weeks in a high stress environment.

They like recent college graduates, because they don’t know what a healthy work environment looks like.

I think there’s a default assumption in academia that students bring the motivation and perspiration to their work. The advisor doesn’t pull them through the program; the student pushes and the advisor guides.

My spouse and several friends have PhDs and I do not, so my exposure is secondhand, but when I hear that circle of friends/friends-of-friends complaining about poor advisors, I often hear details about the grad student’s behaviors and expectations that make me think that situation wouldn’t turn into a raging success in industry either, but would result in “My manager isn’t promoting me, therefore they are a bad manager.”
Two things came to mind:

1. I don't think we can generalize to the whole of academia, based on a singular experience with one particular supervisor. It might just happened that your particular supervisor is like that. But there are a lot better supervisors out there and a lot worse supervisors. Same thing in industry.

2. About the supervisor "helping the student with career" - this is exception rather than the case, I think. In particular, when I had a supervisor, he said that, in his view, to successfully finish PhD means learning to be independent and do things on your own. And I agreed with him. This is not school anymore and at some time you have to get out of the nest and start doing things independently, without people assigned to watch over you.
In Indiana we went on the highway in drivers Ed, which had a speed limit of 55. Then we crossed for a day into Michigan because their state limit was 65. Indiana has since raised the state limit...
I'd compare to other industries.

My experience is perceptions of abuse and abuse are very different. What passes for abuse in software engineering would be a dream job in e.g. retail, education, construction, or many other segments of the economy.

The mildly intriguing information that I find on HN has definitely been useful in plenty of contexts.

Agreed, I wasn't going to comment on this post because this is something I've never heard of before. There's no point for me to add a comment like "I don't know the reason behind this" because that adds no value to the discussion. Actually discussing ideas whether or not they are researched for years or not adds value to the discussion, because then you can actually discuss where those ideas are wrong or where they could be right.

I really wanted to build a Zen 3 / RTX 30-something to replace my Ivy Bridge / GTX 1060. After months of chasing the RTX, I finally ordered a prebuilt yesterday with a 10700K / RTX 3080. Now to see if it really is "in stock and ready to ship."

The only thing I feel like I'll be missing in the 10700K compared to the 11700K is AVX512. It's been derided for throttling, but it does look kind of amazing for certain workloads.

One thing I find curious about the Zen 2 and Zen 3 product lines is that the processor I really want is OEM only: first the 3900, now the 5900. I like the idea of twelve cores at an easier-to-cool 65W. I bought an OEM Athlon back in the day, but I don't see a lot of OEM processors for sale these days. Maybe just more fallout from the chip shortage.
Thank you, I will
I was writing an empirical analysis system for one of the two national experts on benthic infauna (critters that live in mud) in a specific body of water. Project meetings would often devolve into an hour long lecture from the PHD on why the other guy's taxonomy was wrong and how some bug should be correctly classified.
Been there, essentially they have two shrine sites side-by-side, with one being in-use while the other is being rebuilt. This was in 2006, so there's a good chance that if I never visit again, I'll be looking at the "new" building rather than the "old". However, the "new" building will have been the newest incarnation of the one that was there before I was born.

On another note, it's funny that this comes up a day after the Wandavision finale.

Markdown is both underspecified and underpowered as a markup language.
“Industry” is much larger and diverse than academia. Abuse exists but is usually easier to escape from.

That said, managers embarrassing and ignoring employees could be described as widespread. Not necessarily high in distribution nor intensity, but common enough that engineer culture usually is lukewarm at best regarding pointy hair bosses, sales people, project managers and so on.

Then, Hanlon’s razor to the rescue, that’s mostly out of ignorance than malice.

Another good word for voltage is potential.

In a battery, the energy moves through the external circuit because the internals of the battery have been arranged so that an energy releasing chemical reaction is completed when that happens.

In an alternator, a conductor is moved through a magnetic field, which induces a current (this arises out of the properties of magnetic fields; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday%27s_law_of_induction ).

Voltage and power are related by current. Power = voltage x current.

The amount of current that flows through a circuit depends on the voltage potential and the properties of the circuit. Our bodies aren't particularly good circuits, so lower voltages won't push much current through a circuit that includes it. A car battery isn't a big electrocution risk, it is dangerous because it can release a lot of energy quickly (it has fairly high power). Somewhere around 50 volts, current does start to flow through our bodies, causing problems even at relatively low currents (and thus low power), heart disruption and such.

Arlington, VA is the richest county in the state. Every fast food place will feature an immigrant staff which is hard working and punctual.

Prince Williams County is rural, think forests and trailer parks, but the fast food joints are all staffed by bored teenagers and high college students.

Checking who is the lowest on the income totem pole just seems to show if the economic situation for all adults is stable or not. Now it could be unstable due to a bad economy leading to older adults getting fired from better jobs. But it could also be due to other reasons like immigrants moving to a new area; or retirees becoming bored with their empty nests.
The message is good but the name makes no sense, and is almost the opposite of what’s described. In a traditional web app, the client has zero data, or just some cache. But in a "zero data app", in the way they mean it, the app has all the data, so certainly not "zero".

Go explain the concept to someone unfamiliar with it with a nonsensical name like this.
One important difference is that for water we have gravity which is geographically directional at earthly human scales. So "high up" isn't as intuitively visualizable for electric circuits, unless you carefully arrange components so that distance is correlated to voltage.
In Russian it is напряжение. Which can be loosely translated as tension, but more in the sense of a feeling than of a characteristic of a rope or a spring (that's натяжение).
Geekbench 5 is skewed because the 11700K uses the AVX-512 unit for the AES test. It scores 4x over previous gen now, and that skews the whole end result.
It would be compatible with the food, etc. still found in the houses, if it was a "scorched earth" type defense then you want to leave the aggressor nothing that they could use, so anything you cannot carry would get burned. That would require rather large-scale warfare to be common, though, and it doesn't sound like they think that was the case yet.

Of course, another possibility was disease. They didn't know why the disease was happening, so they burned everything except the people. It may even have worked sometimes, depending on the disease. I'm probably only thinking of this because I'm reading it in the middle of a pandemic, though.

Seeing all those HN posts about new static website generators and then your post makes me think that the important thing here is the concept of it, rather than specific implementations. I kind of like the multitude of options because it tells me that there's demand for that stuff, and we're all trying to find the most elegant solutions.

As a webdev, I'm happy to admit I'm not a programmer. I just dump some data in HTML templates, sprinkle some CSS and JS, while trying to give devs, editors, and users the tools to manage/navigate a website without much pain and suffering.

These corporate mission statements make me gag. It sounds like you came up with a money making idea and then reverse engineered a mission statement from that so that employees who need a sense of purpose can pretend they have one.
I understand why people can dislike meetings — after all, they are a distraction from their "actual work", which they consider to be coding — but I really hate the siloing, the incongruity and the wasted effort that happens when teams do not coordinate within themselves or with other teams.

As for managers being entirely unrealistic and demanding things that you as a developer consider to be computationally impossible, I think it's important to push back. This is what meetings should help to do. Surface the problems early rather than struggle with the problems long and quiet and then fail to solve them anyway.
Oh yeah, I don’t see that Victorian house going anywhere either.

It’s very easy to make a CMS with a more elegant & higher-quality codebase, but it’s very hard to create a CMS with better features, and impossible at this point to create a CMS with a larger ecosystem.
I believe that abuse is more common in academia.

A relationship between a supervisor and his direct reports, both in academia and industry, is impacted by the power that the supervisor can exert. The relationship between a supervisor and his PhD students is not the same as a manager and his direct reports in industry because:

- The students are invested and committed into their PhDs for several years. It is much harder to change path or mentor compared to just change jobs. The energy and resources that the student needs to invest to apply a change are significantly higher, often involving moving to a different city.

- The reward of a job is, for the most part, the monthly paycheck. A PhD is a long-term investment that must be completed in order to have value. An employee that quits a job after one year is not an issue, and it is considered "experience", but quitting a PhD half way through can be perceived as a failure.

- Professors in academia have almost unlimited decision power in how they manage their budget and their reports. It can almost feels like an absolute monarchy.

- This may be anecdotal, but I feel like the role of professor in academia can attract people with larger egos and smaller empathy, especially in scientific subjects.

All of these points, combined with a bad supervisor, are fantastic fuel for anxiety and unhappiness. There is no worse thing that, after so much work, feeling that you have no control over your situation and you have no margin to improve it, without significant additional sacrifices.

Where I live, fast food places are almost all fully staffed by ESL adults. I can't remember the last time I was served at a restaurant by a teen.

It's actually kind of weird because I feel like we are creating an immigrant underclass to staff our fast food places, works as janitors, etc. I'm not sure that is the goal of Canada's immigration policies, but it does seem to be one outcome at least.
Hmm, you’re right. Thank you for expanding on this point! I really appreciate it!
IIRC an svg as the src of an img won't run the script.

Not sure if that's still true.
Fusion is N years in the future and it will always be so. N=30.

With the news from Commonwealth Fusion Systems, N is still 30.
And it will keep being 30 for a while.

Why? People are averse to radioactivity. Fusion produces a huge amount of neutrons, and those neutrons transmute the nuclei they encounter and result in radioactive waste. If you decide you can put up with radioactive waste, you might as well use fission.

For other disadvantages of fusion, you can check [1].

Where fusion can shine is in fusion-fission hybrid reactors [2]. This can not only be used for energy generation, but also to dispose of the accumulated nuclear waste.
