First time I had been to an actual classical concert I thought the walls need more dampening, mics placement is terrible and couple sliders on the right side of equalizer could be turned down a bit.

By the time It was over I completely "got" it though. I was internally complaining that an actual fishing port at 5AM don't look like a Monet copy, not watered down, skewed, or idealized.
The advice here seems practical but only if you have a very fixed mindset about who people are.

That might be appropriate sometimes but I think it’s worth trying to heal relationships. On the theory that managers are also humans, try to imagine why they are micromanaging.

One of the biggest problems in computerland is that we promote technical specialists to manage people and strategy. Many people are far more comfortable with, and nostalgic for, the craft of programming. Such a manager ends up dictating solutions that would have been brilliant about 5 years ago, but which don’t match current practice.

Other managers are coping with the trauma of employees who wasted tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars on things that don’t work out. This manager trusts themself technically so reluctantly (actually not so reluctantly) they try to dictate solutions.

The common characteristic here is someone who perceives themselves to have high technical skill but very shaky skills with management and hiring. They feel fear and uncertainty in that domain and fall back on technical skill + their new authority to command people. Imagine if you were in draining meetings all day struggling with abstract squishy problems under limited information. They want the joy of feeling _smart_ again.

Some organizations can support such a manager to buff their people skills but that’s rare. If this person’s ego can take it, it’s worth using your 1:1 to point out the dysfunction and trying to ask them what it would take for them to be more hands-off. They probably are in some kind of pain that causes them to micromanage and maybe in a small way you can relieve that pain.

This won’t work with everyone! If your boss has ego or narcissism issues they cannot see you as an equal.

It is often a no-win situation but in some cases I still think it’s worth trying.

Interesting these leaks coming out now. Maybe something is starting to unravel.
Having spent considerable time in both Georgia and Ukraine, I can tell you that the news that gets to western media misses out all the nuances of reality. In both countries there are substantial groups of people who want to ally with Russia. The "Russia is invading our country" narrative is only held by some.

>However, even with not having IDEs open all the time, and switching over from Firefox to Safari, I’m only seeing about 8 hours of battery life (which is still nice compared with my 2013 MBP that has about 30 minutes of battery life).

I would consider getting a warranty replacement. Something is wrong.

For reference, my M1 Air averages exactly 12 hours of screen-on time (yes, I've been keeping track), and the absolute worst battery life I've experienced is 8.5 hours, when I was doing some more intense dev workflows.
I'm not sure if meaningful correlations can be made here. The percentage of Black employees could vary due to loads of factors.

Geography: companies in areas with higher Black populations likely have more Black employees than those in areas with lower Black populations, with all other factors equal.

Line of business: "Tech company" is a very, very broad category. Plenty of tech companies have majority non-tech employees. Amazon has much higher overall representation of Black employees, though it (in)famously does not break down representation by role.
The "muggles" thing illustrates pretty well what I mean. Regardless of whether it's true or not, if you're standing with a group of people at an event thinking "these people are boring muggles who don't get me--this sucks", people will pick that up and most of them will probably find it off putting.

Instead you could try to adopt a mindset more like: "these people may not be intellectually interesting to me, but every human has the potential to be interesting, funny, or otherwise enjoyable in some way--I'll make the best of it and have some superficial fun without getting too deep". You're going to get much better results this way and it's easier/less tiring than focusing on the feelings of others.
Is there something similar for C++?

While admittedly not as nice as having it built into the type system from day one, there are a number of tools one can integrate into their build to add various degrees of null safety to Java.

Disclaimer: I am one of the maintainers of one such tool, namely https://github.com/uber/NullAway

It certainly won't help with verbosity (in fact, it does the opposite to at least a small degree :)), but it can dramatically reduce the number of actual NPEs when running your Java code.

Obviously I am not saying this is a reason to not use Kotlin. But, when, e.g. based on the things mentioned elsewhere in this comment section, you are deciding to stick with Java for a particular codebase, it doesn't mean static null checking is not an orthogonal option to consider.
Yes I agree. Some reasons for reduced access to credit are smaller loans which fixed costs dig deeper into, shorter loans which entail a lower duration of interest, and the higher risk of default.

Conventional credit would rather not touch this lending because it sees lower hanging fruit.

To me this explains why payday loans have higher interest without being any more predatory than other profit seeking enterprises.

I'm not an audiophile but I can hear the difference.
For me, compressed audio sounds like this:

low frequencies: dull, humming noise

mid range: sounds like the sound is coming from a sock

higher frequencies: too squeaky is the best way I can describe it.

I have permanent tinnitus though. The better/higher the sound quality, the less noticeable it is. And of coarse listening to a real instrument a few meters away (that doesn't go through a mic & amplifier) is an absolute treat.
The idea that one can 'manage' another seems very primitive to me. Every one that did good job for me did so because they genuinely wanted to do a good job, not because I 'managed' them somehow. All I did was to steer the work towards the goal. If they didn't like the work to begin with or didn't have enough skills and inclination to learn, no amount of 'management' would have corrected that situation.
Out of curiosity, what would you do if you had the inclination and the know how for solving all of these issues? Would you create a project for each of them or unite them under a single one like Lennart did?

> The boss doesn't listen, even when the subordinate is an expert in the field in question, and the boss is not.

I've seen way too many cases of the opposite. The subordinate thinks he's the expert, when his boss has 20 years of experience. Fire time.
Yeah that was weird. It makes all of this read like some random guy in a bar speculating about geopolitics.

I wonder what part of the story I don't know much about (eg the motivations of ransomware gangs) is similarly baseless speculation.

Work is not family. At work, I thrive on benign neglect.

While I would love for my boss to purposefully ignore me; it's ok if my boss is only ignoring me because there's no time for me after tending to the other employees. I will not be sad or resentful if my 1:1 had to be canceled because my boss had something else to do.

I was only familiar with "Turn the Ship Around", so I just looked it up. Apparently there are 2 books on this topic from different captains.

I'd actually be curious how much the advice overlaps.
The bandwidth isn't available to transmit even the fused picture, VR has notorious misperception problems which are difficult to eliminate even in lab settings where you know the precise 3D measurements of everything, have carefully aligned the IPD (not even available on prosumer devices), and conduct careful per-session calibration. Is isn't ready for precise navigation tasks, and the delay and potential for jitter and dropout make it unsuited for safety critical tasks like driving.

The remote assistant never does anything to affect the car onboard system. The only instance is when the assist car turns up and the car is put into hold mode for the driver to enter.
There's a comment below that explains this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27184607
Because Reading is Fundamental (2014)
It is not obvious to me how to compare the fundamental security of NT and Linux, although I give some credence to the traditional answer that >90% of servers are on Linux (i.e. there's no shortage of valuable targets) so if it were really that easy to attack people would do it. However, even assuming comparable inherent security of the OS, it is trivially true that more malware exists for NT than Linux, so for non-targeted attacks Linux is probably safer. And, of course, if you're worrying about targeted attacks (such that people knowing what you run is a problem), then OS is almost irrelevant because you need to do some serious hardening regardless.
I don't manage people but something I've seen several times are colleagues that are very talented but are just straight up lazy. The company would lose talent if they fire them but at the same time somebody needs to be there pushing them so they finish their tasks in a reasonable amount of time.
Huh, what a weird thread!

I thought most people would be listening to their own curated collection of mostly Bandcamp stuff, plus a bunch of exclusive vinyl and cassette releases. I didn’t realize that older folks (i.e. over 35) are still using services like Spotify and Apple Music!

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/openpgp/tB00vO5r-qneX9...

Cryptography has known how to reliably authenticate ciphertext for decades, back to and before Bellare and Namprempre. PGP builds on none of that knowledge; instead, they came up with their own goofy, broken construction.

The theme of my engineering complaints about PGP is: we would never tolerate these design shortcomings from a new cryptographic tool; any of them would simply be disqualifying. We tolerate them in PGP because we've bucketed it as a legacy system with a huge installed base of users. But in realistic terms, PGP has only a tiny fraction of the user base of any reasonably well known secure messenger. There's no reason to put up with any of this.
It’s not a terribly new idea. Demand-controlled ventilation has been around for decades (where ventilation is governed by air sampling, usually CO2). The reasoning seems to be a recent trend is that it’s more economical to implement
> This is all under the generous assumption that your deadlines are actually very important in the business and plans will have to be shifted if they're not met because of a harsh business reality. Otherwise it's your fault for allowing the cost of deadlines to be incurred in a team where all they will do is hinder morale, add bureaucracy and reduce productivity.

As far as most dev teams are concerned, timelines are less important for the business than they are to each other.

People don't like it when they are constantly waiting on person X to finish their part of the work. (That's a good way to know you've really dropped the ball as manager: the other team members start asking YOU what's going on with the other person.)
No, it’s a shared responsibility. It’s the managers job to set up someone for success not to make them successful. If a report is not responding to that, then it’s the report’s fault for either not applying themselves or just not a good culture fit for the org. Nothing wrong with the latter either, mind you. Some people just don’t work in the existing system.
For esoteric topics, HN can’t be beat.
For specific topics, like medical issues, Reddit or Facebook are often amazing.

Have condition X. Doctors say Y, which doesn’t actually help.

Support groups will have a long list of things to try.
Questions to ask doctors lifestyle changes.
Up to date info on diagnosis/ treatment.

What tests should be run, how to interpret tests.

Medications side effects doctors don’t know about.

I always assumed a Facebook medical support group would be all nonsense.
Instead it’s got tons of people who have spent years researching and experimenting, and have amazing advise to give.

Simple example. Was going to the bathroom 10+ times a night. Years of doctors were zero help.

Someone suggested aloe Vera freeze dried pills. 3 days later I was sleeping through the night.

Medical community is both amazing and full of major gaps.

This hits home. I recently quit a job (~2 months ago) that was exactly the situation described. I had never encountered micromanagement to that degree before and was initially, naively, willing to accept my boss's criticism as "learnings" for myself. He was of course totally unavailable until ~6PM, after which he would dive into the weeds on my work product for the day. "This chart's axis aren't clear enough". "Line colors are too similar". "Please justify why you made XYZ technical decision this week". Sometimes I would be working until 10PM responding to his questions.

Eventually it really started to take a toll on my self-confidence. I started feeling like I didn't know what I was doing, questioning if I was cut out for the company. Just as OP states, I woke up every day in a TERRIBLE mood. I stopped caring about the quality of any first-pass work product. Why bother, when he's going to find something to critique anyway? Ironically his micromanagement made my work quality go way down.

Anyway, I quit with nothing else lined up (and am still looking for work, if you need a data scientist :)). But I don't regret it at all, if only for my mental health's sake. I STILL feel like I somehow did something wrong in the situation even though looking back on it, he was clearly just an asshole (and many current and former coworkers came out of the woodwork to agree when I made my quitting public knowledge).
He also cites Romania as having a particularly great relationship with Russia, which is neither true (they're in NATO and the EU and mostly West focused) nor relevant (the Romanian keyboard layout wasn't even listed, only the Moldovan variety).

We can choose to assume that he omitted the nuance you're adding (eg for brevity), or that he has no clue. I'd say most evidence points to the latter. Which is sad because I often enjoy his blog a lot.
That is absolutely insane. Why would people do that? I struggle to stay focused for an hour let alone 90 mins.
I was just speculating, this is the kind of thing I heard as justification for other things in Go.

In my experience, the only time I do this is with files that have been provided explicitly for my shell of choice.

The only exception to this that I see regularly is shell installers auto-adding some directory to the PATH env by making automated changes to bash/zsh confs in $HOME. This may be a slight annoyance for some, but tbh I like it as having to manually paste in a PATH addition myself allows me to audit them (and it's still quick enough).
For those interested, below is a YT link to a long conversation with Marc Polymeropoulos [0], a survivor of a Havana Syndrome attack and a former CIA Senior Intelligence Service Officer. He describes the evening of his "attack" in detail. He also goes into great detail discussing his attempts to get help through various medical channels. Curiously, it appears as if most/all survivors have developed occipital neuralgia.

He also discusses the fact that apparently, after geofencing the area around the attacks, there is a known Russian agent in the proximity of the victim every time.

I take all of this with a grain of salt; I find it difficult to trust any intelligence agency without a healthy dose of skepticism, but quite interesting nonetheless.

I believe what you're saying amounts of effective leadership.

I feel there's a very LARGE and DISTINCT difference between effective management and micromanagement. The article's points show that when dealing with a micromanager, you're dealing with a narcissist. Nothing the employee does is right; the manager's path forward is likely not even possible; and, most importantly, only the manager feels they themselves can do it correctly.

When a team is underperforming, there are ways to help out which do not amount to nitpicks and providing poor direction. Offering very direct support and feedback is NOT micromanagement.
To be frank I find both Finder and Dolphin to be generally unsatisfactory. Finder is worse though, it's riddled with bugs and weird shit. I could never get Finder to show preview thumbnails of symlinks pointed to files on network mounts (while the Dock's folder view could always thumbnail those same symlinks just fine.) Or, when you mount a network drive, Finder can take dozens of seconds to recognize the mount has succeeded, while in a terminal next to finder you can clearly see it succeeded instantly. In Finder, thumbnailing sometimes breaks and completely stops working, with no indication of why. `qlmanage -r` usually fixes it, but what is the point of using macos if I have to waste my time fixing janky shit in a terminal? It's worse than the modern linux desktop experience.

Dolphin just has weird omissions; for instance try to sort a directory of symlinks by the time those symlinks were created. As far as I can tell, you can't do this because Dolphin follows the links and sorts by the dates of targets (contrast with `ls -ltr` and Finder, which sort by the dates of the links.)
If you build a political system around that assumption, it’s not going to chance.
If you've never heard an orchestra in an auditorium with proper sound design you're in for a treat. Two or four speakers are simply a poor alternative to dozens of live performers around you.
I know what you are saying and I understand why you are getting downvoted. I dont know about Wim Hof but I hope he has preserved the whole spirit of yoga and not just cherry picked a few techniques. Yoga works on a much deeper level than just curing ADHD if done in the right ambience. Even a moderate yoga practitioner raises and expands their consciousness from oneself to being coextensive with everyone and everything.

Thats probably the reason why the author of this comment feels that it is far better going to the source rather than cherry picking a few practices.
I’m probably the exception, but I’m actually glad my relaxed/lazy boss was replaced by a micromanager early on in my career. All of my positions up until I was 22 had busy work deadlines-don’t-matter type cultures and made me an extremely lazy person. My micromanaging boss came in, lit a fire under my ass and made me realize that’s not how the real world works. I hated it at the time, but now in my 30s I realized it was probably the best thing for me.

That being said I was a poor performer, and most people probably don’t think of themselves as poor performers.
I have a big yoga chart on my wall. It shows that Yoga has been split and changed and derived from and iterated from for many many years. Seems like a bit of a joke to suggest that this specific iteration (if it even is that) is less valid simply due to a name that is geographically different.

Not really, most systems should set RLIMIT_NPROC to prevent that. If pidfds held onto the pid, it would create a new denial-of-service that allowed random other processes to keep zombie processes open, and the fix for it would actually allow you to circumvent that limit!
