I find myself blocked from all kinds of accounts that I've never interacted with and as far as I can tell the primary reason is because I follow Sam Harris which is a ludicrous reason to block someone.
isn't a lot of Stripe's revenue going _through_ VISA? It doesn't seem to me they're replacing them as much as possibly making them more money.

Did Wozniak ever hold the title of CEO?
Yes, I did, which is why I find it so disingenuous. I mean, looking at their chart, 7/10 do not have software engineer CEOs. And Wozniak was never CEO of Apple.

"Contributing to creative and technical designs" does not make you a software engineer. LOL. Might as well give my grandmother the moniker as well (she's contributed to some creative designs for my startup).

Also, it's a terribly written article. I mean, this is content-marketing level, https://shortlyai.com type of stuff.

> Conversely, traditional CEOs are regularly incentivized and seduced into pleasing financial markets by having higher returns in the near term. This typically overhyped mission of “improved earnings” occasionally results in companies pursuing unsustainable schemes that are focused on boosting quarterly profits (liquid value).

Software engineer CEOs do this exact same thing, probably more so! (Mostly as an artifact of their Silicon Valley VC investors pumping them into SPACs and IPOs to get a fat payday.)

They paint a picture of non-software-engineer CEOs as idiots, which is completely idiotic. Most successful companies throughout history have not been founded by software engineers. This is a recent phenomenon and the article's author(s) have no idea what they're talking about.
While I don't agree on the premise here. There's never gonna be the one thing solving the whole problem. It's gonna be the sum of a million little things. Don't let good be the enemy of perfect.
Paper receipts don't prevent gallery owners from printing off extra copies, sometimes of art they aren't even supposed to have. But if your favorite artist has a webpage you can go there and see their crypto payment address (if they're into NFTs they'll know to do this, if they don't maybe the NFT is from someone else...) and you can verify that the funds go to the right person.

And yes, the art itself is unrelated. Anyone can download it. NFTs (for art) are a prestige way to sponsor the artist via that specific work. You can 100% prove that you sent that author the funds. That's it. (I think it's a bit like buying an original and giving it to a museum.)

IMHO, The future use of NFTs is actual non-fungible goods, like a concert seat. It's not "real property" so there aren't many legal restrictions on trading usage rights and a court is likely to respect the decision of the two parties to keep their ledger wherever they want. This NFT-art boom seems like people just playing with the tech before we manage to sign a venue to use crypto-tickets - a proof of concept and a way to familiarize enough people with the tech that there's an audience for it when a real service using NFTs is launched.
Do you mean that by oursourcing we support 3rd world countries? If so here I absolutely agree but as my personal experience shows finding a good outsourcing partner no matter from what country - is a complicated task.

All in all much better to find someone who will spend night hours sitting at a desk next to you, catering about the project and feeling that personal responsibility.

Big big downside of hiring developers who are far far away - very low personal sense of responsibility in most cases.

They're publicly traded companies. Sort the S&P 500 or NASDAQ and work your way down by market cap. You could go for pre-IPO companies, but that stock should be valued at $0, so it's less competitive with the FANGs (the liquidity event could pan out, or it could never occur, etc).

My current $LARGE_CO is publicly traded with a single-digit billion market cap.
> I don't think most people really care about sunrise. Humans don't seem to naturally rise with the sun.

I do regular trips in the back of beyond. The first day everyone is up until 10-11 O'Clock in front of the camp fire hanging around with a beer. By the third day, everyone is up at dawn and asleep at 8 O'Clock.

Humans absolutely rise with the sun naturally. We've just isolated ourselves from the natural environment and forced ourselves onto arbitrary schedules most of us have a completely screwed sense of time.

If you flex your day based on sunrise, you get more useful sunlight hours... which means more time for being outside enjoying the day instead of stuck indoors. It's also a lot easier to get moving based on natural light, our bodies are programmed for it much like they are programmed for a 24 hour day.

The big issue with daylight savings time is the loss of sleep due to it all happening at once. You don't have that issue if you just have an alarm that wakes you at sunrise.

How is this related to the article I just read?
Once-Weekly Semaglutide in Adults with Overweight or Obesity
I understand where you are coming from. There is a lot of jargon and it assumes familiarity with many concepts. I think any explanatory images which would help someone unfamiliar with the field would need to be accompanied by quite a bit of explanation.

One thing which I think made reading this a bit more work than necessary is that it feels like it's prattling on about a lot of tangential details and never quite gets to the point.

edit: a prime example of an unnecessary aside is mentioning the warp/wavefront/subgroup terminology. I feel anyone in the target audience should know this already and it's not really relevant to what's being explained.

Same here. I'm guessing it's a term that's come up in a few popular posts here (especially considering Jeff Bezos left Amazon a few weeks ago and he talks about it a lot in his book and in general) and is not part of the vernacular of commenters here. Similar idea for other circles that you might have heard it in.
The author mentions PathFinder, the GPU font renderer from Servo a lot, so there do seem to be existing systems that do things in that way.

I'm not 100% sure though about Apple and other's approach though - definitely when compositing desktop environments were new, the way it was done was to software render UI elements into textures, and then use the GPU to composite it all together. I assume more is being done on the GPU now but it may not actually be all that performance critical for regular UIs (he talks about things like CAD which are more performance sensitive).
At that price it makes me wonder if there's a market in vanity satellites for the wealthy.
Regarding Alphabet, the article listed Sergey and Larry, arguably the leaders who oversaw google's meteoric rise. There is a note about Schmidt as well.

Pretty much same comment for Apple, it remains to be seen if Tim Cook is another Jobs/Gates or if he is instead a Ballmer.

Regarding Bezos, if you read the article you will find that you actually made the one of the major points in the article with your comment about Bezos.
I got into it at varying levels at different times.

As a pretty young kid, I got into GameMaker, and got my first taste of programming logic.

In middle school, one of my grandparents bought me a Raspberry Pi, which got me into Linux and Python, neither of which I had a strong need for at that point in time, but which have both made quite a large impact on my life trajectory by now.

In highschool, I programmed my calculator (TI-83 ftw!) because I got tired of doing geometry homework.

My honest recommendation is to find out his interest (games for me), available mentorship (RasPi), or need (math for me), and then show how programming can help.

I should point out that I'm pretty young, probably closer to your son's age then your own. Maybe close to equidistant.

Bthw, you mention this - "The goal for every outsourcing is to make your product great because only in that case they can upsell you and make more money."

And would you please allow me to disagree here. In the esence you are more than right. The core of the business model for an outsourcing company is exactly that - increase the incoming flow of returning clients.

But again from my experience. The best oursourcing client is the one that does not very clearly knows what he/she wants and also is early paying for rather unhumble estimates and hour reports.

With all my experience I am a "bad" oursourcing client. Why? I know exactly what I want, I can be a true technical partner to any dev team and as a result I can challenge their decisions and critisize in case to much time is spent.

As I said, I am far from a perfect oursourcing client. So by end of the day in my experience outsourcing teams just tried to dinifsh the work no matter how spaghetti code they produce and "get rid of me".

Again, there are always exceptions but please hear me out and see that I am talking from my experience.

Also, I have checked out datrics.io and I can say if your personally were in outsourcing for many years - chances are you were that rare exception.

Have a great day :)

I am not questioning that there are cheaters in China. There are 1.4 billion people, any subset of those 1.4b will look huge to anyone.

And no, I disagree that Chinese culture is all about scams and buying/selling pirated goods. Business is the least part of Chinese culture, a Chinese billionaire would rather his children to be doctors or lawyers, business owners are not perceived the same as professionals. Yes, we do have a saying that 'all businessmen are corrupted', because its profit driven nature of business. We also believe building trust and relations is the only base you can build your business. Buying and selling pirated goods do exist, and they are not scams. As I said, it is a response to the consumerism world, it is good that you don't have to rob a store or steal money to buy the real thing. China is the biggest market for many foreign brands, it is a fact. Nike won't report profit from fake Nike shoes.

Anyway, thank you for making the effort to educate a Chinese about China and Chinese culture. Enjoy your day.

Point of correction, it's the Hohokam and not the Mogollons that are known for their massive canal systems. The people inhabiting the broader Mogollon region had fairly small irrigation networks that don't really justify the term "canal".

Most archaeologists would also have some quibbles with describing Hohokam irrigation as truly decentralized, particularly in e.g. the civano phase, but it's accurate enough I guess.
You could have made the same argument for investing in solar a few decades ago.

Spending money on fusion research will unlock humanities next energy supply for when/where solar isn't viable.

Fusion power has been hampered by the way it's been approached )massive slow moving projects) but is inevitably going to come to fruition given enough time and money and when it does it will likely displace most other energy sources.
This makes me wonder: how can forum sites (like HN or Reddit) can actually make a money. I guess that HN isn't trying to, but I don't know its balance sheet. Likewise, I believe that Reddit is selling ads and app subscriptions. How do they even stay in business? And what are the fundamental difference from their business model and that of news sites?
It doesn't seem to be a finished work. I guess this is more of a journal entry on the author's initial takeaways from a week-long coding retreat.

Interestingly, the caption on the sundial is wrong! It seems the caption writer misread "IX" upside-down as "XI"; the sundial actually runs from 3am to 9pm (0300 to 2100), not 3am to 11pm (0300 to 2300) as claimed.

I hardly read the news anymore since there is so much outrage journalism. The tone of the news has very much changed and the press seems to be at war with everyone. Just in the last year there have been fights with the White House, social media, Substack writers, and probably more than I am forgetting. Are there any good news sources left if I never what to read anything outrage or culture wars?

Well, Sergey and Larry failed in writing their initial crawler in C (they even published a paper on how not to write a crawler in C), so paid a programmer to write it in python. I believe he became employee #1.

Then they should revise the title to "Software engineers make the best founders."

To your note on Bezos, the whole article makes no points about whether Bezos actually programmed or not, just that he thinks analytically and runs experiments. I mean, great for him! But this article isn't driven by any empirical data. Aside from its disingenuous claims about CEOs, it's a very emotionally written piece (doesn't feel like a software engineer wrote it ;).

I mean, read this:

> After much consideration, it would seem there are unseen forces derived from the nature of value itself that are biasing software engineering CEOs towards greater success, and the raw power of these forces appear to sculpt many of the successful practices of these leaders.

What???!??!? What does that mean???? "Derived from the nature of value itself ... the raw power of these forces ... sculpt many of the successful practices"

This reads like a college freshman's Business 101 term paper.
I still think you might be throwing the baby out with the bathwater; though I admit there's a lot more bathwater than baby, especially when compared with first glance.
And what about all the crap America imports from all over the world? (I use "America" as a shorthand for the entire developed world. We're all responsible)

I keep being told that America doing anything to reduce emissions is pointless "because China builds a new coal plant ever hour" or something factoid like that. But China does a substantial portion of the world's manufacturing. So if you're giving America's emissions a pass, you should give China a pass as well, right?
Is it? I think there’s more difference in longitude between the western tip of Western Sahara and the eastern tip of the CAR than between the far ends of Quebec and Ontario.

Going by population density CET is probably far more disruptive though. The vast majority of the population that lives in EST is, by longitude, between Detroit and Boston, which is a narrower band than between Madrid and Belgrade.

What's DR other than migrating onto what's hoped to be (but never is) an identical setup? It's like having your Amazon fallback be ... Amazon in another region.

That protects you against localized outages but not design failures or systematic outages or incompatibilities in new versions of your stack.

And it takes time to keep your DR plan up to date, patch the VMs, etc, and test it. Almost like this migration plan I'm talking about.

> The only thing the cloud offers me is the ability to change my CapEx spends into OpEx spends.

Ehh, not really. You can setup load-balancer pools larger than your entire colo, or use a globe-spanning backbone to create datasets that auto-replicate worldwide. And which are usually much easier than setting these services up yourself, let alone building the multiple zones. If the cloud is just a big colo to you then you probably shouldn't use the cloud. It's frightfully expensive.
Probably, since you are no boat designer.
I was mainly referring to the tabletop game then the IP itself, but fair. MWO is an abomination, but at least was better then MW5.

The HBS game is great in a lot of ways and it's a shame that they didn't build it a little bit more flexibly to be a tabletop-replacement. MegaMek is really long in the tooth.

The lore is damn near unapproachable at this point if you didn't come up with it alongside the game, especially with today's cultural sensibilities. Much of it boils down to "space racists". I think it's best to treat with broad brush strokes.
If everyone did it, it would work fine.

Business hours : 1 hour after sunrise until 10 hours after sunrise.

Even without that, many of us have flexible hours and can either start work earlier, or just do something before work when we have time. Waking up early in the summer means you can catch a bike ride or take a short run or hike before work. Since it's too hot in the afternoon/ evening this works quite well for much of the country.
Depends on what you mean by novel. No other “mainstream” API that implements the traditional 2D imaging model popularized by Warnock et al. with PostScript is implemented this way, except for Pathfinder. Apple does all 2D drawing operations on the CPU and composites distinct layers using the GPU. This does a lot more work on the GPU.
My point of view is that "if a human touches anything and it changes things, it can be called art". Hardware, programs, languages and the all other things that computers are made of were created by humans. So, everything that computer generates is also a result of a group of human work which we come to the solution that even this comment can be called art and claimed.
That doesn't change it is a "bad" art but it is art.
How does docker even help in this regard. If you run x86, you’d need qemu or some other emulation stack. If you run arm you just test natively
Do you still have the "print" ? :)
I never had to deal with any of this because I was homeschooled but every time I hear about the way public schooled kids are treated it sounds like abuse.
Apple has an incredibly fast software 2D renderer (Quartz 2D), and limited GPU 2D renderer and compositor (Quartz Compositor). Doing PostScript rendering on the GPU is still an active research project. And Raph is doing some of that research!

The problem is not that it can't be done, it's that I'll read one dataset and write the script that behaves as expected (using `head` here and there to check things as out the script progresses), then come back to it later after I get a new dataset, that now has nulls mixed with numbers. It starts behaving differently or is broken in a subtle way, and it's not always obvious why. After lots of experience, I have learned to check for int mangling each time a new Dataframe is read or two Dataframes are merged together. It is enough of a frustration that I am willing to look for a viable alternative, because I think it's a bit absurd that Int64 isn't the default for columns that are clearly meant to integers mixed with nulls, or that I can't set a flag to tell it to stop int mangling.
Also I thought the article is really useful given that it’s geared towards people already fluent in x86 assembly
