What I find hardest when gauging if I want to join a company, is whether I want to work for the manager.

Managers are good sales people, and can be quite convincing in order for you to accept the offer. Trying to pierce that veil of salesmanship and personal charm to get to hard truths is really difficult.

Questions I would like to get answers to, but unsure how to ask:

- how much do engineers trust the manager and their colleagues?

- how much support will I get for growing my career? especially around navigating internal politics.

- do engineering leadership have the clout/backbone to ensure roadmap stability, or do they just let engineers work overtime to deal with bad planning?
Care to provide some evidence to back up your claim or are you just on the red scare train.
I can't tell you the number of nights I told myself "I should go to bed early" knowing I would get a good nights sleep and do better at work the next day but chose to stay up late playing video games.

I chose to choose badly, I knew better, and I accept the blame (and consequences).

(This also comes into play when I make food/exercise choices btw. I certainly do not make the best choices I can on a daily basis)
Although new Paternosters most likely will never be built, the Thyssen-Krupp Multi has been in development for quite some time now and the result partially resembles Paternoster, but adds things like per-cabin independence and freely routed (also horizontal) movement to the whole idea.

I don't know whether there are plans for an actual deployment of this technology right now, but the idea and concept by itself is fascinating.
That's what I did a couple days ago. Moved my blog from GH pages to cloudflare pages (and DNS). So far so good, and I'm seeing more views than before, when using goatcounter and seems more accurate.
Do they, for all types of trips? Personally, I much prefer trains for every trip over two hours.

Being able to stretch my legs, get coffee and food, and comfortably work are worth it.

Cars are very nice for when there is no (direct) train connection available to where I want to go, as well as for shorter trips, but they don‘t scale well at all in terms of density of traffic as well as efficiency.
Gary Neville, former Manchester United player and current TV commentator put it really well. He loves his club, loves English football and yet he tore into these clubs for this cynical, cowardly move.

> I’ve benefitted from football hugely, I’ve made money out of football, I invest money to a football club. I’m not against money in football, but the principles and ethos of fair competition are part of the game so if Leicester win the league they go into the Champions League.

> Manchester United aren’t even in the Champions League. Arsenal aren’t in the Champions League, you watched them earlier today and they were a shambles of a football club at the moment.

> Tottenham aren’t in the Champions League and they want a god-given right to be in there? It’s an absolute joke and the time has come now for an independent regulator to stop these clubs having a power base. Enough is enough.

When I interview at I company I look to see who in my LinkedIn knows someone who worked there, or used to work there. If I feel comfortable, I will ask them if they can ask my culture fit questions to them.

Also, this doesn't work for large companies where the culture depends a lot on the team itself...in that case the tips the article gives is prob as good as you can get.
Don't do colo, do a rental dedicated server instead, its almost the same thing but much cheaper in practice, and it won't mean having to travel to a data-center during work hours. If you absolutely want to manage your own hardware but it in a cabinet in your house instead.
Strongly agree.

Maybe okay to discuss the Super Bowl or World Cup final or some similar major sports event. Maybe.

But instead, this particular submission appears to simply highlight cynical maneuvering and posturing by billionaires and corrupt special interests. On all sides.

Edit: someone flagged it. Good. I didn't, but I'm glad to see that others also feel strongly against this submission.
Saw him meeting with public at the Saint Petersburg House of the Book some years ago :)
"Think of a woman who buys a home in one part of town, takes a new job in another area a few years later, and is then stuck with a 90-minute commute, or of a man who turns down the better job because he doesn’t want to sell his home or be saddled with a long commute. Now multiply that by millions of households across the country. Homeownership locks people in place, in large part because of the high transaction costs of buying and selling property."

This assumes that you exist first and foremost to work jobs, and anything that impedes this is bad and needs to be optimized away. This is very American, very contemporary - don't accept it as universal.

Move a little to the side in time and in space and people are "from somewhere", live there, and optimize their life to improve them living there - possibly by taking jobs in the vicinity.
race cars (and tanks and submarines - closed areas with high chance of fire and/or catastrophic consequences of fire) have automated fire suppression system. I wonder if EVs need to have one too. Right now the EV fires in the accidents call for memories of 196x movies where ICE cars would burst on fire in accidents. It was solved for ICE cars and need to be solved for EVs too - looking at those accidents, specifically at the damage from impact and thus related speed/etc. - it seems that the fire killed the people not the impact itself (i myself been in an accident in a regular ICE car where front of the car got smashed while we inside, being seatbelted of course, got only bruises, and if the car burst into flames the outcome would be completely different)
Definitely correct in that NP originated a supply chain attack on that vendor in Kiev, I had forgotten and good catch.

NP, as Maersk and co experienced was definitely rware (a variant, sure) run amok however. It’s industry consensus that the attacker either a) didn’t think of the possible Global blast radius or b) thought of the blast radius but didn’t plan for how bad it would get.

In a sense, SW might reflect a more mature approach: consider the network spread, use a different exploit and intent - spyware for espionage vs rware variant for destruction.

That said, very different exploits and intents were used.
There was a Banksy on my street in San Francisco that had paint thrown over it. Perhaps this method could help recover the art.

You need volunteer curators and subject matter experts, not AI. Just like Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap.
Can you explain how that avoids it? Not sure I understand.
No; I figured out how to cut my hair since my mom stopped cutting it when I was a teenager. I like it short because buzz-cuts were the only cuts she didn’t charge for and I like the simplicity of it. I can cut my hair neatly enough with electric clippers by feel without a mirror now. I know it’s egocentric and still I wonder why doesn’t everyone just do either buzz cut or let it grow and tie it back. I accept that others care about the style of hair more than I do, and that’s okay.
You can get a bare metal server for <£50/month with OVH in the UK or slightly better value for money with Hetzner in Germany. Colocation is likely more expensive all things considered.
Scoop mostly doesn't run installers, the convention is to extract the files manually, put them in a specific directory, and symlink persistent files to a different directory. Additional installation steps are either automated based on the declarative manifest (shortcuts, CLI shims), or are defined as powershell scripts in the manifest itself.

There are some manifests that break it since they absolutely have to (like the VC++ Redist), but for most of the apps, Scoop actually acts a whole lot like a package manager.
Just spoke with someone who has a (very good) php dev on staff, and has someone else on staff with some node experience, and is partnering with someone else who does rails. They decided on a new project being done in rails because the rails guy said "it's easier to hire rails devs than PHP devs".

That is so far off my experience, and I don't mean "php=wordpress therefore you can find loads of devs". I mean that finding good people who can hit the ground running and not be a net drag on a project - in any tech - is, imo, very hard these days, and has been for probably the last 2-3 years at least. Basing mostly on regional network and chatter in user groups, but it definitely seems to have gotten worse recently.

"easier to hire good devs in X" doesn't seem like the best metric decide on (but maybe it is?)
Reminds me about an elevator in a hotel in LA, around ~2008. The hotel and the elevator made the distinct impression of being about a century old. Maybe it even said so in the brochure.

In the elevator there was a plaquate(?) wich said something like in case of an emergency, don't panic. I mean, in which cases are we supposed to panic then?
New information released says it was a 2019 Model S and the 2 men were talking about the car’s features with their wives before they took it for a test drive. Police believe the vehicle was on autopilot and traveling at a high rate of speed at the time of the crash.

I just realized that I'm about as happy with my own third attempt, one year in as I usually am from a professional hair dresser. It took 45 mins instead of 15 mins, sure, but I think I can improve on that.

The key is wetting the hair on top of your head, so that it stands up. That way you can easily trim it to a desireable length. If you skip this step it looks weird. The sides are easy. The back requires some finesse. When in doubt do post check with a smartphone video recording.
Suggestions:

1. If you are building APIs and using Lambda functions as targets from an API Gateway API, look into libraries like serverless-wsgi (Python) or wai-handler-hal (Haskell) that translate between API Gateway request/response payloads and some kind of ecosystem-native representation. Then as long as you're writing code where all state gets persisted outside of the request/response cycle, you can develop locally as if you were writing for a more normal deploy environment.

2. Look into the lambda runtime interface emulator ( https://github.com/aws/aws-lambda-runtime-interface-emulator... ). This lets you send invoke requests to a fake listener and locally test the lambda more easily. While the emulator is provided in the AWS container base images, you don't need to run it inside a container if you're deploying with zip files. (AWS-provided container images automatically enable the emulator if not running in a lambda runtime environment, and using docker for port remapping, which is nice but not at all required.)

3. Get really good at capturing all requests to external services, and mocking them out for local testing. Whether this is done with free monads, effect systems, or by routing everything through gateway classes will depend on your language and library choices.
Does the safety report account for vehicle age and price? Because I imagine there's a difference in accident-free miles if you were to compare a new Mercedes-Benz S-Class to a 15-year-old Camry.
You can train all you want but unless you have a burning EV right in front of you, all training is only theoretical. Practice makes perfect and no fire department will set a Li-Ion car battery on fire just to demonstrate what happens.
NP! I was actually surprised that in the US a "codice fiscale" would be considered PHI :)

Are you sure it won't evolve into that anyway? Google isn't looking at FLoC as a compromise, it's just an intermediary while they continue their ever-lasting search to optimize their ad services. The next Big Thing will arrive whether or not FLoC is allowed to exist.
Just like AirBNB hosts.

My mother visited my sister at Sheffield University years ago and accidentally ended up going over the top-of course it was fine but it somehow took her by surprise and she mentions it every time the topic of Sheffield comes up.
> My explanation eventually leads back to Marxism and destruction of the family unit and other cornerstones of public order and decency which form the core of Enlightenment Western civilization

As Marx himself pointed out, it is capitalism which, by reducing the working class which composes the greatest part of society to consumables in the system of production, destroys the family unit and other cornerstones of public order and decency of the society in which the Enlightenment emerged, and the capitalist habit of blaming opponents of capitalism for that is a diversionary tactic.
If you're actively circumventing your car's safety features to use it in out-of-spec ways it's hard to argue that an accident is anything but your own fault.

It's like pulling high negative G in a Cessna 172 and then blaming the manufacturer when the wings fall off.
You're assuming this is a "human's" account. Also it could be a single-purpose key limited to a single static command on the rsync side.
> I personally believe the best attitude is to accept that if someone can't get out of a certain situation by themselves, they need help. No additional judgement required.

This is so true, and it’s so hard to fight our own prejudice. Seeing loved ones in bad mental states is hard, and as individuals and as society we don’t really know what to do to help, so it’s easier to blame them for being there and makes us feel bad, than to confront ourselves and be good companions, even if there is not much we can do to help.
You don't gain much by being in a colo over hosting at home for side projects.

A Dell R240 or R340 would be fine and on the smaller side, or if you're really pressed for space look at some of the Supermicro machines.

You'll gain local network speeds by keeping it in your home, and save a bunch of money
My company uses separate stages (through serverless framework) for each branch of feature development. CI uses these to test, running within AWS infrastructure. It works well for isolating test environments. We lean more on unit testing to debug the service with external dependencies mocked. We try to avoid situations where we are adding log statements one-by-one; CloudFormation deployments take several minutes, so iterating small changes is indeed frustrating. We thought about localstack, but haven't tried it. I'm worried that it will increase our IaC complexity; everything will have to deploy to both AWS and also localstack.
“Runs fine” doesn’t mean it’s energy efficient. If we can get whatever value out of a payment system with 1 wind turbine instead of 10,000, the former is obviously a better choice. And right now it’s not obvious that PoW provides anything that other technologies can’t. Bitcoin itself has shown that when PoW doesn’t produce the results people want, developers can just release code that makes users ignore the most work chain... so the system ends up just as political as any other money system, and PoW is just a clever trick to fool investors into thinking there’s some magic “decentralization” going on.
I wonder what it is about this that captures the Hacker News imagination? Something about it being a "better" solution which we, as a society, have been inexplicably denied?
Part of my frustrations with FaaS lead me to develop serverless cells where there is no deploy step.

Source code is loaded dynamically each invocation.

Still, some work todo, it's still annoying to program. Next hope to make them easy to use is pipe the runtime to Chrome devtools
Your comment basically says "I did it and it's great" but I don't see actionable advice for OP.
Evidence is the cleanliness of public transportation, the derelict public bikes and other 2 wheel battery assisted devices, the derelict laptops in school that provide them to student...

Maybe it's just a big anti communist plot, or maybe it's just human nature to not take care about things you do not own.
Old farts always assume what we ask for is illegitimate.

I remember a “HR Collective Negotiation” teacher in my masters (one of the top schools of France). He said “When you need to fire 193 people, don’t ask for 400 to come back to 200. Ask for 193 and negotiate until you get it.”

I’ve always applied this rule in my life. (Socially it doesn’t work at all, but I do it because I’d like to see a world that works on sincere values).

So I never demanded anything from my father up to the point I needed him. At 35 years old I told him modern women were unmanageable and my life was turning sour, and I needed help, I needed people to understand that men are being mistreated by the system, but I said it with ample documentation (you could watch the excellent movie The Red Pill, which depicts pretty much the complexity of our position), and that the only answer of society towards us is “Incel”. By the time I asked my father, I had already created some networks through politicians, but on the topic that interests me, all still had the same dismissive position, because promoting men doesn’t work politically. I’m saying that so you don’t say that I hadn’t walked my walk.

So apparently I’m able to make about 3 million dollars, between one startup which IPO’ed and my own company which has 6 employees. But I’m still not good enough for women, and worthy of being treated as the scum of the earth.

So I asked my father whether at least in my family, the upsides of men could be acknowledged, and if in addition to admiring my sister’s climb of Everest, we could acknowledge that we could give men the same kind of help for finding affection as we give women at work. I gave specific examples and came back on several angles. My father refused to respond to my demand, treating me as a spoilt brat every single time.

I do not see, when one has already contributed to society more than his father’s entire life of taxes (along with thousands of hours of volunteering, don’t assume I’m only talking in money, it’s just a symbolic result), what gives society the right to treat us as a tax slave and never give us love in return. I’ve always tried to be the kindest of all, but that’s also a receipe to be stepped upon, which seems to be an attitude that we think is totally ok for women.

There aren’t many ways besides violence to be heard by people who refuse to hear us. I’ve already tried words! And more importantly for me: I’ve already tried taking positive action.

Remains violence.

Just saying.
There’s no business model better than exploitation, as evidenced by all of history. Nearly 100% of worker and consumer rights come from government regulation in some form.
This reply is disproportionately mean. Please don't call people ignorant because they disagree with your opinion.
> Your purchase landed some key about you in a bucket that was mixed and repackaged with many other keys that the advertiser knows as "keys recently interested in Voltaren."

There's not really that much ambiguity in this sentence from the second bullet point.

Unless my mental model of online advertising is wrong, your physical in-store purchase should not be landing you in some Google advertising bucket.
There is a movie too :)
I'm glad you gave me the opportunity to clarify the accessibility part more :)
Gasoline is not what makes a car fire bad. It's everything else of the car which is almost identical between ICE and EV.
Why don't they have them tick like clocks so it actually stops at a floor?

Cool. I'll buy your book. Nice title.
Or you could spare those 2 bytes at a cost of being unable to listen on one out of 65536 ports. In 1983, this tradeoff absolutely made sense: 64K ports should be enough for everyone.
It's fine to panic in safe situations.
That is the tyranny of the uninformed manifesting. In technicall matters the vote of uninformed people lacks validity to change affairs.
The human immune system(s) - yes, we have a number of them. The innate system which evolution has fine tuned to protect us, and the adaptive (learns to defeat a pathogen). These are not voted on by an animal's free will. They are entirely automatic, as animals and man in the past had zero comprehension of what occurs behind the scenes.
People have the unwise right to refuse vaccination - perhaps to their detriment or death. (try to keep living after you get bitten by an infectious rabid animal and see what happens).
This brings to center stage the true merits of the anti-vaxxers. Get enough doubters and many controlled viruses will lose their 'herd immunity' at which point we well get sweeping waves of infection of many of these 'defeated' viruses.
This is OK, of you feel mankind has overpopulated the earth - the added deaths will reduce the degree of overpopulation.
I for one want measles to be eliminated and stay dead. Many orthdox Jewish communities seem to want measles to be an ongoing scourge of man. What about smallpox = 35% death rate. The plague - about the same. Polio? I am old enough to recall the huge rooms full of people doomed to live the rest of their lives encased in an artificial lung.
So, no, I will not respect that choice = no respect at all - they can do it if they like, but if they choose to let their kids get those illnesses deliberately, then they need to be forced to buy disease specific health insurance, and remove that burden from my health care pool.
EVs have represented a relatively small fleet of new and mostly high end cars so far. Which means that they haven't posed much of a problem so far. The budgets for most fire departments are pretty limited and they focus on priorities. EVs are hardly a priority for most of them even now as the fleet is growing exponentially and perhaps more critically, it's aging thus increasing the risk of fires.
>when the manufacturer isn't liable for mechanical failures that could cause a crash

uhm. Ever heard of the GM ignition switch defect? Ford Pinto? I'm sure there's more where a manufacturer is liable for mechanical failures that cause a crash.

When I get a vague question on an interview, it's an opportunity to answer the interpretation of the question that puts me in the best light. It's generous. Failing that question is a little sad, really.

It's ok if you don't have "big" problems. Pick a little one. It's all relative anyway. If you can't speak candidly about some of the problems your company faces, you are naive, lazy, or dishonest.

If anything the name is the most accurate part of the marketing. My Garmin autopilot will gladly fly me straight into the ground if given the chance to do so. While they are getting more advanced, aircraft autopilots are even less autonomous. But yes, their marketing is aimed at making people think it’s a self-driving feature.
