Echoing the other comment that was talking about stigma... I think we should at least admit that, of course, without execution ideas aren't worth much, but without ideas you don't even have anything to do. And in fact, most of the people that are not good at "ideas", are not good at executing either. That is, making good plans to create things. Of course, executing as "following orders" is another entirely different category that many more people can fulfill adequately.

So, we should look at ourselves to make sure we are not only daydreamers, that ideas don't only work in our heads, that they might actually make sense in the real world too... But creativity is not the same skill as planning, and that's kinda ok too. It's good to keep your feet on the ground to avoid selling dreams, and I also really hate the people that will only talk big and then show no interest on working on some of their "best" ideas, but creativity is not the same as the ability to fully realize ideas, from creative inception to success. This later part requires many skills. Having reasonable and interesting ideas is only one of them.

"The armchair quarterback. They love to wax poetic about what could be done yet when asked to get the ball rolling, they show no interest.

The act of calling out gaps and offering solutions is their sweet spot."

Is this saying that 'calling out gaps and offering solutions' is awesome as long as they help implement the solutions?

Asking because for every person I knew who espouses ideas and won't help (too few to recall any) there are scores upon scores upon scores of people who compulsively resist fixes - no matter how many resources are provided for.
Yes. “We were planning to launch tomorrow but someone found a showstopper so we are on a day-for-day slip” is how I’d use it in a sentence.
It's also hard for people who don't need an office or in-person interaction with coworkers. It should be opt-in rather than hybrid; socialites can hang out with each other, so there's no need to force everyone else to go through commuting, dressing up, and sitting in an office around people all day.
> Working in IT or some similar position at a modern company? I bet we would see a larger number of people quitting.

This is purely anecdotal, but I changed jobs last year from one tech company to another, and in general on the teams I worked with both at the old and new companies it felt like there was if anything a slightly larger number of people changing jobs vs a normal year. From my social networks I can also recall seeing quite a few friends and tech folks I follow get new jobs.

In other words I really don't see any impending event here. There has been no reason for the past year that someone who wanted to change jobs wouldn't have already done so. I did a full interview process and joined a new company without ever leaving my house or meeting anybody in person, so the pandemic certainly didn't limit job changes in tech in the same way it limited travel and events.
> Curious fact: the above code generates >40000 lines of assembly in godbolt: https://www.godbolt.org/z/fxfbb9jfn

I took a quick glance at the ASM, and it seems that the majority of that is code from the stdlib run prior to main. Compiling with -OReleaseSafe brings that down to 15,000 lines of assembly.

If you get rid of "main" and compile it as an exported function, you get far less code: https://www.godbolt.org/z/jjGP4xsfx

If you add -OReleaseSafe to the "export fn" version I shared, it's around 4 lines of code calling panic. Adding -OReleaseFast, and it's just a ret statement.
I can read the data. However I also know it is messy (as all data is), and needs a lot of understanding. Give me the data and some time with a computer and I can make sense of it though - I have all the skills. However I also have a day job, and then a family to spend time with. There isn't enough time left to figure out the raw data. Thus I really need trustworthy people to figure it out for me and give me the summary that I can use. Such people should ideally have practice at the job and so can do it faster than me, while also looking for things that I would forget to account for.
I wish instead of focusing on taking humanity to a new planet more billionaires would focus on trying to sustain the planet that we already have.

>2. Insistence on needing a “team” to implement the idea

yet in the paragraph author states,

> As it turns out, they’ve spent their career at a big company and didn’t fully realize that much of their success was actually a team effort.

Insisting that an idea needs a team means that the person DOES realize that their success was a team effort.

Glaring inconsistency, I stopped reading here.
Exploit.in, verified, maza, xss. Loads of public runet forums, english language crime forums like darkode have all died but the russian forums welcome english speakers.

Fraud shops like unicc, ferum, slilpp move more money than darknet drug markets and primarily use BTC or LTC (I don’t think any accept XMR)

Hydra, the biggest darknet drug market still doesn’t accept monero.

Of course it would make sense for all of these people to be using monero, just like the efficient market hypothesis makes sense.
"Envy" makes it sound like it's bad or sinful. But it just makes total sense to me. Bezos is trying to start a rocket company and this other rocket company is more successful. Of course you want to try to hire away executives from SpaceX, of course you want to compete for the same contracts they are getting.

It's a hard business and many companies have failed. What makes Blue Origin relatively unique is that Bezos has billions more dollars and can keep trying. I hope he does, I think we would be better off in a world where SpaceX has an innovative competitor who vigorously competes with them. The legacy companies like ULA, I don't know if they can reorient themselves to actually compete with SpaceX.
Congrats to the team. I helped co-found Vamp but left 5+ years ago. Pretty sure CircleCI will be a great hike for them.
ICE vehicles can run on diesel, compressed natural gas (CNG), liquified natural gas (LNG), liquified petroleum gas (LPG), and several grades of gasoline. A standard needn't be used by 100% of vehicles to be useful.

Also, in Europe Tesla uses standard connectors on their superchargers — other vehicles can be plugged in, but they won't charge.
My plan with the mode y my wife just bought herself is to sell in 3-4 years. My 1T diesel pickup won’t be retired like this.

I don’t like this approach, but it is what it is.
I'm an "execution" guy. I make things happen. Been doing it my entire adult life. It's incredibly valuable, and "idea people" know it.

But they won't say it.

If I had a dime for every "idea person" that wanted me to realize their harebrained AI-powered cheese straightener, for nothing, and they get all the money and credit, because it's "their idea," I'd be rich.

Yeah, I'm cynical.
You're assuming `int` is 32-bits.
The fact that C implicitly promotes to `int` makes it extremely hard to use the stdint.h typedefs without accidentally making platform-specific assumptions.

uint16_t a, b, c;
a = 50000;
b = 40000;
c = a * b;

This simple code may or may not have undefined behavior depending on the target platform. (it's fine for 16-bit int, UB for 32-bit int, and fine again for 64-bit int)

Numeric promotion means that it's almost impossible to write code that is correct on multiple platforms with different sizeof(int).
My kid does not use M:K as a "constant companion". It's on his ipad (e.g. his tv), and it's a way for his extended family to be able to reach out to him directly. He actually uses it more like email. Maybe engages with his messages once a day. Doesn't sit and "chat" on it like an adult would.
The renewal system you propose seems like a pretty good idea. Not sure you even need the increasing cost. Just making it a small fee would probably mean 98% of works would never get renewed after the first term. Perhaps add a rule that the author can renew for free if he's still alive.

>The US has been doing stealth QE since 2008 with no end in sight -- we can't build real financial stability this way.

I agree, but in my view, the Federal Reserve is about the only institution doing their job to stabilize the economy. The problem is they're only meant to provide short term fixes, much like an ER doctor. Meanwhile, Congress primarily prioritizes bribing their voting base: Republicans through unnecessary tax cuts and Democrats through unnecessary handouts and pork spending. I agree with extending unemployment benefits during a pandemic, but it's ridiculous for single people making $75k to get a handout that comes straight from government debt.

>As far as the PMCCF and the SMCCF, the Fed lent out 750B[1]:

Your source says this, but its source is about their total capacity. If you look at their balance sheet, excluding the Main Street Lending program, they are only holding ~34.5 billion in corporate debt.

HN has decided it hates TikTok, and so it is. No one here will care to read deeper. Despite the (for whatever reason) superior/smug attitude of the readers on here, they’re still party to extreme groupthink.
Seconded. The failings are especially good - they give you a meaty, fleshy hands on on the sharp edges the Falcon-1 project had. And make the eventual triumph so much more spectacular. And - not to denigrate the original effort in any way - the book also demonstrates how amazing it was they scaled from "run-of-the mill" light Falcon-1 booster to a pure sci-fi reusable Falcon-9 platform in a matter of few years.
Even if your manager will mostly rely on their own judgement, the write-ups will be the only thing that future managers (at the same org) can rely on to learn about your work, and also for things like promotion, your manager will probably need to convince a committee, so being able to draw from your self-assessment will help them argue your case.
Even though you can achieve pretty good latency with Erlang because of the lack of global memory (most if not all allocation is local to an Erlang process).
"Gripe" is used to describe gastrointestinal illnesses affecting infants and small children.

> Ive also since college done the hard yards to learn to execute/lead and obtain multiple deep skills including coding.

If you’re actually executing and delivering results then you aren’t the stereotypical “idea guy” referred to here.

The problem with the stereotypical “idea guy” is that their flurry of ideas and constant changes becomes a roadblock to delivering anything at all. Their team is constantly destroyed by direction changes and burned out from chasing moving targets before they can possibly hit those targets.

The idea guy personality is the embodiment of the phrase “perfect is the enemy of good”. Every team has constrained resources, so delivering something imperfect is better than not delivering anything at all because the team burned out and ran out of money because the ideas were iterated faster than execution could allow.
"young, attractive candidates and bias away from shy people or those without a lot of confidence or experience talking"

Is this not exactly the same for regular interviews today? Ageism is a huge problem. People who lack confidence won't do as well, etc.

Most people have an online profile, so what's preventing the interviewer/hiring personnel from just looking them up online?
Compared to traditional mass market media is it that different? Actors and actresses on prime time TV are beautiful by western standards, thin and with perfect teeth. Living in beautiful, spacious houses that most people can't afford.

edit: Not that I'm defending Tiktok, just saying that the way it distorts and portrays the world is a continuation of what media companies were already doing. I was going to make a point about how it is a lot like the Society of the Spectacle, but it looks like others have already made the connection:

Don’t worry, they’re just checking for “culture fit”.
I doubt typescript is faster than babel with all the static analysis it does. In fact it's typical for projects to use typescript as a check in CI and actually build with babel, for speed. Fast alternatives to babel are things like esbuild and swc
I'm sure the HN audience is a diverse set of folks across age ranges, there's just a culture of punching down at things they don't understand that's permitted here.
> By not allowing v8, we are least have some hedge against a… hegemony. I like Apple over Google for many reasons, and would like to see Googles extremely hostile actions towards the web curtailed. I’ll take the trade off. I’d be less happy actually as a consumer if they allowed third party browser engines.

Similar deal with WebKit. At ~15% marketshare between mobile and desktop followed with Gecko at ~5%, it's the only real holdout against Chromium domination. If browser engines were opened up on iOS, you can bet anything that Google is going to go bananas with marketing Chromium-based Chrome for iOS and web devs will happily back those efforts, pushing most or all of that 15% over into Google's lap. At that point Mozilla will have an even more difficult time holding on as an increasing number of devs only develop against Chromium.

Forums are old and graying, the young people are on TikTok and other social media sites like this article suggests.
they aren't really making progress behind closed doors. there was a video tour of their new glenn factory floor when they were showing off the hls mock up, it looked mostly the se.as it did years ago, before spacex even launched heavy or even announced starship.

I think the main difference is that spacex had a do or die mentality I. the beginning. Elon had money, but not endless amounts like besos or like he has currently. they literally were going to close up shop due to money, and got a last minute one last attempt to make falcon 1 lunch work. blue origin has never had the need to test things, it's just a bunch of engineers gooing over cad files and no need to go to orbit because they will never go bust.
A charitable take:
They didn't read their own manuals, which is extremely common in US Federal Government agencies, and really any large bureaucracies.

A less charitable/borderline hostile take:
Biden is extremely likely to not run for re-election (due to his health), and has some extremely ambitious legislation he is pushing which will cement his legacy. He and his advisers don't believe they will maintain control of the House of Representatives in 2022, and are justifying many of these changes with the crisis of the pandemic. If the pandemic doesn't appear to be a crisis, the odds of this legislation being passed are lower.

Probably the most frustrating part of all of this is the fact that the April job's numbers (1 million jobs predicted, actual was a 1/4 of that) were hand-waved away with "people can't work when their kid's schools are shut", as if the administration hasn't helped justify schools remaining closed in certain states. (I live in Colorado, a blue state, and our schools have been open since January with no issues, as opposed to Oregon, where they are still closed.)
> I wish consumers would understand this better.

No. I routinely buy software and lifetime subscriptions in the $10 to $100 range without batting an eye, but if I had to pay $5 a month for every piece of software or service I use, I would spend thousands of dollars every single month and it'd be ridiculous even if I'm lucky enough to be able to afford that.

There's a place for recurring subscriptions and a place for fixed priced software that is supposed to work for eternity, even if without upgrades.

Don't blame the consumer if they don't want to pay $5 a month for a standalone app.
Ah yes you are absolutely right. I meant „stock index ETF“ when I said „ETF“. But then I believe the parent posters were also referring to index ETFs when they said „ETF“, so it‘s just us normies polluting the name spaces again :-)
The core question here is whether we consider the app store on mobile OS' to be part of the OS, or a separate product. Apple believes the App Store and iOS to be one inseparable unit; you cannot have one without the other. They are the same product. Google on the other hand, does not. They want to spread their proprietary services throughout everything, but you can make a usable version of Android without Google Play. It's degraded, but it works.

If they are distinct products, then it sure looks like Apple using market dominance to push competitors out of the app store space. If they are the same product, then it seems reasonable for Apple to charge whatever fee they like for distribution to their products.

I tend to think they are distinct products. Competitors are able to treat them as distinct products, so there isn't a technical reason they must be unified. There is some consumer benefit in reduced cybercrime from a curated app store, but there is also consumer harm in the loss of choice (i.e. using an app store that allows torrent clients or porn).
I don't think anybody is questioning the value of good, fresh ideas, but what the article outlines is a real problem. The "armchair quarterback" non-technical type is especially annoying because it creates a bad feedback loop:

- Idea guy says we should make a water-powered ferrari that costs $100.

- Technicians shut it down as impossible.

- Idea guy complains that technicians are short-sighted and shut down all of their ideas.

- Goto step 1.

I'm myself somewhat of a daydreamy type, but we have to understand that unless there's a specific, detailed plan, ideas really are a dime a dozen.
Yea, tbh this is 100% my read on this situation. Wouldn't go near the dude or his work after this. Spent way too long at Facebook where no one ever has to sell a product and now doesn't understand at all how money works.
> Not every “idea person” is a good fit for your small business. In fact, most will be a terrible fit. How can you tell?

TFA goes on to list three characteristics of people who are dud team members, and 5 characteristics of good team members, but it doesn't do what it claimed it will - tell you how to identify such a person at the hiring stage.

TFA is an example of what it warns against.
How can house prices go down when there's 4x as much money (M1) [1], 30% more broad money (M2) [2], and debt service is 25% cheaper [3]?

It's possible that they recognize that a team is necessary for execution (and if they don't realize this nothing gets done) but still think of the product as stemming wholly from them.
Apps keep working for years though. On Android anything since KitKat still works.

Usually the first filtering step is done without much PII - if it's a paper/word document then you can decide what information to include and it's filtered based on that before interviews (which is how it's always worked for me, my employer knew nothing about my background, history, ethnic group, race/religion and it was the same for each candidate who applied for the position).

IMO it should be a requirement that at least 1 filtering step in a hiring process is done without the employer knowing certain pieces of information (and it would be down to them to ensure they have a process that avoids collecting this information before step 2 which you can then hold interviews/video calls etc.)
$130K is objectively not a joke of a salary in the United States. That's roughly 90th percentile.
I agree we need to do more to secure critical infrastructure.

But this comment is victim blaming.
Another potential red flag attribute I've witnessed is shifting of the idea deliverablee\objectives after the green light is given. A partner I once had developed a pretty great idea we decided to execute on after 20+ hours of planning. He started proposing entirely new (follow-up) ideas mere hours into our execution. Then started morphing the original plan. 1 week later he was dropping idea bombs left and right. I finally delivered something close to the original plan and he spent the next 2 months slowly backing out of the project entirely, having put in less than 10% of the effort.
This is not how Kubernetes works. The concepts are completely different (pod, allocation etc.)

Why not? These are maintenance heavy machines. Another line item in the maintenance procedure isn't necessarily a show-stopper.

We have a tendancy in software to think that the software should do literally everything even with a user actively working against it. A lot of times that is even more harmful.
The reason is if I were an employer, I'd gladly cut your pay because there would be a line out the door once I consider people nation-wide, let alone internationally. As an employee, I'd gladly take your job at a fraction of your pay for the guarantee that I can be fully remote.
You should market it as "iterations delivery guy" as "ideas guy" makes me just think of a guy with a notepad writing down random things every few minutes.
