> As I get more comfortable with my abilities the constant stream of interruptions is bugging me. How do I deal with this? I've talked to my boss that I am into too many meetings and he has said I can go offline and skip meetings, yet he expects me to be in meetings because he requires my expertise for complicated technical subjects that come up.

I don't get it. Attending meetings is work as well. If you got distracted because of meetings and you couldn't finish your "coding tasks", then that's fine because you finished your "meeting tasks".

Some days, in the standups I say:

- yesterday I did attend 2 meetings, couldn't focus on Jira issue XX because of that
- today I will continue on Jira issue XX, but since I have 3 meetings, I will need more time to finish

My managers: all right
Your analogy is apt. In both cases, excess capital drives unsustainable business models.

In the case of solar panels, we *all" owe a debt of gratitude to China for commoditising a market that we all needed. It's industrial policy, yes. But even more because the product is strategic in other ways too.

In the case of Deliveroo and the like, it's another example of capital markets still haven't figured out how to price the capital / tech-growth new calculus that started with Amazon.

Deliveroo may turn out to be a harbinger, or markets may revert to dumb credibility in eventual tech-growth.
I'm going to use the car off a cliff metaphor here because I think it's appropriate.

We're still in a car that's headed off the cliff. We've only just reached the point where when people want to press the accelerator harder it reliably causes widespread yelling from those convinced that hurtling off a cliff is a bad idea.

We not only aren't steering away from the cliff edge, we haven't even checked the brakes work, maybe this car doesn't have brakes, and if we only finally try them after we go off the cliff I can assure you they won't help then.

But yes, these days most calls to accelerate faster are getting shouted down, if you think that's enough I hope we both live long enough for you to find out how wrong that was.
Pieces could've broken off before that moment.
That'll certainly help but you'd still have issues with any connected devices (USB, network API alls, etc).

I don't think it is a solvable problem though. There is no way to know ahead of time which usage is safe and which is destructive because of the variety of UNIX-like configurations out there, variety of coreutils and variety of optional flags. Not to mention all the 3rd party tools out there. And some seemingly destructive usages are vital for safe usage (eg tmp files). Worse still, by the time you build a safe container you've have spent more time spinning up a sandbox than you've had spent using the CLI preview tools anyways (yeah ZFS could help here but few people run ZFS on their dev machines and you still haven't solved mocking APIs for connected devices).

I just can't see how this can be achieved safely without completely redesigning how SYSCALLs work from the ground up to follow a method more akin to iOS or FireFox's on-demand permissions. At which point you've gone well beyond the realm of "yak shaving"

No I don't, I'm being misunderstood even in this thread!

What I do believe is that as the speaker I have to do my very best to make sure the receiver can understand what I'm saying, they have to do their part too, of course.

If the speaker neglects to choose their words with sufficient care, or the receiver doesn't make an effort in their interpretation then the balance of understanding tips away from being 50/50 and chaos ensues.

Sibling comments mention all kinds of secondary factors such as mood, bad faith, bias, but these are clear violations resulting from the offending side not making the necessary effort to meet half-way.

Corporations aren't parasites. If you have to think of corporations as living entities, then humans are living in a symbiotic relationship with them: Humans provide them with labor, and in turn they provide products which are consumed by humans.

I will just quote from Kim Dae Jung which I mentioned elsewhere.

"The proper way to cure the ills of industrial societies is not to impose the terror of a police state but to emphasize ethical education, give high regard to spiritual values, and promote high standards in culture and the arts."

So no, authoritarian government does not lead to stability and democratic government does not lead to chaos. You get stability by educating the next generation and promoting the culture.

Let me clarify. Apple wants to water down legislation so that it has no consequences, and can't be effectively enforced.

(1) Apple publicly supports everything in the bill. That's their PR.

(2) Apple wants to water down key provisions of the bill, which would hold U.S. companies accountable for using Uighur forced labor, https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/11/20/apple-u...

>“What Apple would like is we all just sit and talk and not have any real consequences,”

The bill is not about Apple. If Apple is doing everything right, their costs may increase marginally. The bill would force US companies that don't have as good human rights records to comply. Apple lobbying against the bill is enabling this.

Summary: Apple wants to save little money. Result of that would be that unethical US based companies could continue their unethical business in China.
I don’t think the use case for this is anything you’re shipping to “customers”... more for just personal code you can use as scripts/playgrounds.

To use the swift example, often I want to double check whether something in the language works as I expect, so I write a quick test.swift and run it. It’s a useful thing even if you don’t personally want it.

Somebody has got to stop systemd from unilaterally fucking up every Linux distribution's design with their wacky features. Only /opt and /usr? Because no other directories might need/want an overlay? And why the fuck can't we just use a regular overlay fs?

Here in Denmark fines for drunk driving, driving while influenced by drugs, and driving while your license is suspended is income dependent. The exact fine is also dependent on your blood toxicity levels.

Are you looking at the same graph I am? The average age of death is 59 in the 1600-1650 range and steadily increases to 76.9 in the >=1930 range. That's a significant improvement. Sure, 1600-1650 is a local minimum, but none of the other ranges have an average death >64.2. That seems like a pretty significant level of progress caused by the revolutions in science between 1650 and 1930.

Trust me, I don't have a single illusion about Yandex or the government. Neither I say the solution was perfect (it's terrible and awkward like most regulations are). But I also don't have any illusions about any other company. Making it sound like Apple is cooperating with some nefarious plot is a stretch. They've been forced to back down in a fairly clear case. Dealing with Yandex own business ambitions or the government spyware or regulatory overreach are entirely different questions that are out of the scope of this case and should be solved in their specific ways.

The article addresses this. You're just talking about the early stages/small company part of the lifecycle. In my case, working for a 100-year-old manufacturing company, I looked around the cube farm one day, and realized there is a small army of people who's job it is to festoon every vertical space within eyesight, at scores of facilities across the globe, with flyers and promotionals and health insurance factoids and retirement plans and educational resources and on and on and on. (And maps of the cube warrens, because people thought wacky floorpans were cool 40 years ago.) Those are the definition of "Loser" jobs, and they're everywhere.

My company is so far down the article's referenced lifecycle that there are several large groups of people who copy information from the mainframe into Excel sheets, and then hand this over to another group who take that information, and put it back into the mainframe. And the "Clueless" have fought me, tooth and nail, to try to improve these kinds of barbarous workflows.

Why is it super expensive? How does insurance make it any less so? The insurance companies are there to make money, so it will be more expensive. Especially when you consider that you can use your existing HR department for the same work.

Sure, you want to spread it out over the population, but you aren't really going to see many benefits in terms of cost reduction. The scenario that insurance is useful for is low occurrence, high risk situations - like a house burning down.
I worked intensely as a driver in Belgium's Deliveroo two years ago and I'm not surprised that Deliveroo is doing poorly. To sum up, their tech (as interfaced by a delivery worker) was godawful and their relationship with drivers was awful as well.

You would get paid per order. But, they practically didn't compensate distance (an order that would require take 10x longer to deliver would have a 2x pay). So you would have to refuse long orders. Then they would sort of shadow ban you for refusing orders, where you wouldn't get any explicit indication of that being the case, but you'd get worse orders and less frequently than others (drivers had a concensus that we were being shadow banned). After a long time of that, instead of fixing the situation, Deliveroo stopped showing the drop-off point, so you had to accept or refuse without knowing the length of the trip. Every thing they did was more infuriating than the last. What we would do then is play along, but if we'd get an outrageous order (way too long, way too cheap), we'd have to contact live support to get it cancelled, which was very cumbersome.

Anyway, I could recount stories like that for a long time. Uber Eats did some driver-oriented promotions around that time and we switched over in flocks. There was an actual Uber Eats manager we could interface with once a week in a local office. It made a big big difference. Interesting thing that he said once was that Deliveroo's Belgium branch had something like an order of magnitude more staff than Uber Eats'. Uber Eats was something like one person running the north of the country, someone running the south, someone managing both and then a handful of people in the Brussels main office. While, Deliveroo's office was something closer to 30-50 people (can't recall the precise number). And Uber Eats was doing a better job. When I think about it, it feels like Deliveroo was constantly putting out fires.

Well, I would argue "the point is" the ability to easily understand when and how something works is useful; and, to that end, having the behaviors of something directly in front of you is thereby valuable in a way that shouldn't be dismissed, particularly when the language it is all written in is the "lineup franca" of system administration: shell. I have often wondered when something happens and why it happens at some point and simply grepped my way through /etc seeing exactly how the extremely simple startup behavior of those "cumbersome shell scripts" worked, and taking that away and hiding those behaviors into some complex C program to save a tiny bit of startup performance seems like a sad tradeoff, particularly for people just beginning their journey of discovery (like, I ostensibly don't need it anymore, as I can now read complex C programs and have in fact carefully scrutinized the code for the various eras of Apple's launchd, and so have a pretty solid understanding of exactly how everything works... but 25 years ago, being able to do that on Slackware because it effectively just had this beautifully simple shell script that just ran stuff as if it wasn't hard... that showed me the beauty of this system and how easy it is to bootstrap these things: the world didn't actually get more complex since then in a way where any of this cruft is actually necessary).

I find the word "problematic" in the first paragraph. That's usually a sign, but it is a word that people use, so whatever, let's ignore it and continue.

Sure enough, the article enters a tirade about the "human rights violator in chief." Draws motive from an advertisement with the then president of the US in it, and advertisement of an american company, the first trillion dollar company who reached that valuation under that president, and attributes it to the CEO. The CEO of apple will stoop to any level to garner favor, lower than cooperating with authoritarian dictators even, so says the article.
https://www.recursive.design/ has these features too. I use it everywhere.
Network API calls seems like a scary one. But for things like USB and sys-calls, I'd suggest a "block and log" method.

Like "running this command shows this output (with some extra error messages" and tried to delete these files and do these system calls.

Clean water has become more consistent, but it was common in many areas historically. You see remnants of this for example NYC is exempted from water filtration requirements due to how clean their water source is.
