This feels more like engineering-manager advice, not advice for engineers. And, surprise surprise, people are the same even in non-technical fields.

I feel it's a similar reason books like Peopleware can still be so relevant - we've massively upgraded our computers, but the wetware is still the same as it was in the late 80s.
This isn't going to help with the cc dispute, or with Amazon. They're going to decide without any information from you.
This is a difficult problem to solve unless you can remove stuff about yourself from Google and other platforms. Which won't happen as that would be expensive manual work for the platforms. I cannot imagine what happens to the gigs of info young people post online (about eachother and themselves) that will be mined in 10-20 years by companies and used for evil.

Since I said something in an interview to push a particular business agenda and had that used against me since then in all kinds of contexts, I make sure nothing more appears about me online. I cannot really understand how something I said or did (in this example: I was cto of a services company and in the interview I mention I like services more than products, which, at the time I did; this is no longer true) in a business setting 10 years ago is relevant to something I do now but clients and investors bring it up.

Makes it kind of weird how straight up criminals get positions and investments time and time again even when they have 100s or 1000s of news articles from actual reputable press against them...

I bought a new 32" monitor about 2 years ago that when I unpacked it, it was clearly an open box item. The way it had been packed was extremely unprofessional, tape was haphazardly wrapped and twisted around the stand and cords and things that normally come in plastic bags weren't bagged.

They've been shipping the wrong items lately too, twice in the last year when I order something that has multiple selections like color, scent or flavor etc I'll sometimes get the wrong item sent. I've done more Amazon returns in the last 2 years than my previous 15 combined.
I've placed approx. 15k orders with Amazon Germany in 20 years and have probably had less than 100 issues, mostly with FBA sellers. I get an answer from CS within 10 minutes and 1-day shipments are on time ~98%. Refunds are issued as soon as I drop the package in the return box. Call me a fan.

The best experience is still Amazon JP but returns are a little more complicated (Even within Japan) — Obviously b/c you more or less do not return stuff in JP [Hansei (反省].
I order lots of printed musical scores. The higher quality scores are $45+ a pop. Amazon frequently renders them completely useless as a work you’re supposed to be able to sight-read with your instrument. After all the folding, bending, and creasing, the books don’t even stay open properly, and the bent pages make for terrible and distracted reading. It’s depressing and an absolute shame.
Keeping old messages around for all practical purposes negates forward secrecy in any messaging system. It isn't just an email issue. If they can get your secret key they can pretty much for sure get your old messages.

Most email users keep their messages in cloud storage (IMAP) so that changing computers is a non-issue. OpenPGP is an encrypt once scheme so that messages on an IMAP server are encrypted and stay encrypted.
> How’s that working for Dropbox? They aren’t exactly a shining example of moving from the cloud and becoming extremely profitable. They still haven’t made a GAAP profit.

That’s just silly - dropbox is profitable if you exclude stock comp unlike box inc (who afaik runs in cloud) and also has higher margins (big shocker here). From techincal side i hear it worked out really well for them too.

> Like Jobs said, Dropbox is a feature not a product.

What does that have to do with anything? Not helping your argument at all

> For the same price you pay for Dropbox and 2TB, you can get the full Office 365 suite plus 6TB of storage or the entire GSuite.

Should be painfully obvious to anyone arguing in good faith why that is. Also do you by any chance think google runs gsuite on aws or gcp?

> And do you have multiple redundant DCs? Are all of your database writes duplicated 6x across three DCs like Aurora?

Yes, you run mutiple redunant colos/dcs and peer them. You’re making it sound like rocket science but it really isn’t. If Internet Archive can do it with their resources (not a dig towards their talent at all) so can unicorns flush with vc cash who supposedly hire “the best”
Schools kind of are for that, but it's not actually a bad thing despite the negative framing.

The goal of the public school system is to create active, disciplined, stable, civilized citizens with strong bonds for each other despite natural tribal tendencies.
I did have X-rays taken the last time I was at the dentist, but I don't know if that covers the roots.
Just the name of the cafe.

Actually they have started in Cafe Roma but it has been too crowded and noisy and Banach decided to move to the other side of the street to Szkocka (Scottish) Cafe instead. Another reason Roma's owner wasn't keen to put on a tab. The Szkocka owner - Mr. Brettschneider was more friendly to mathematicians.

https://histmag.org/Matematycy-z-kawiarni-Szkockiej-10433

The food in Szkocka wan't particularly good in Banach's opinion and some older mathematicians (Hugo Steinhaus) preferred bakery of Ludwik Zalewski at Akademicka 22 which was famous for excellent cakes delivered even to Warsaw by plane.

Szkocka Cafe had been also frequented by journalists from Radio Lwów and cattle traders. The Cattle Market had been long time moved further from the city center but traders have liked Szkocka for closing trades.

Szkocka was also the home of Klub Konstrukcjonalistów - a discussion and literary club focused on aesthetics.

https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klub_Konstrukcjonalist%C3%B3w

Lwów had its share of coffee houses - "Cariton" (dawna "Muzeum" obok Muzeum Przemysłowego), "Centralna" (obecnie na rogu ul. Jagiellońskiej i Trzeciego Maja), "Europejska" (róg ul. Czarnieckiego i placu Bernardyńskiego), "Grand" (dawna "Teatralna"), "George", "Imperial" (ul. Legionów 5), "Louvre", "Palermo" (ul. Rutkowskiego, róg ul. Kamińskiego), "De la Paix", "Roma", "Rouge" (ul. Mikołaja), "Sewilla" (pl. Bernardyński, róg ul. Piekarskiej), "Union" ("Hostynnycia"), "Victoria" (ul. Rejtana), "Warszawa", "Wiedeńska"

https://www.lwow.home.pl/rocznik/kawiarnie.html

Google Translated > I also do not know where the idea of christening one of the cafes came from, according to the frescoes inside it, "Szkocka". Personally, this name reminds me of the famous jokes about skimpy Scotsmen and has always appealed - probably against the intentions of the host - to my savings, and maybe that is why it was partially closed for the time being.

Google Translated > "Szkocka": it has always been the place with the most heterogeneous audience among all Lviv cafes. University professors and couples in love, old gossipers and lonely newspaper readers, bibliophiles and billiards, Jewish intelligentsia and students from the nearby Academic House, all states and spheres, classes and races, religions and preferences lived here in harmony, not with each other, but next to each other, filling an average of half of the room. So "Scotch" was always especially nice thanks to the fact that it was never too full and never too empty. Somehow its capacity was happily measured. Various secessionists from the neighboring "Roma" were a large part of its audience; those who for one reason or another - sometimes because of oppositionism itself, and sometimes as a result of overpopulation - left their home tables in "Roma" and emigrated to "Szkocka", trying to establish a new, independent existence here.

Found many of the points helpful. Does anyone know what "Don’t rewrite. Go to the problems." would mean? There wasn't a way to contact the author. Because I think rewriting is essential in a lot of cases.
The quality of comments is good for purely technical articles about software.

For anything else it is more like pretentious people thinking they know what they're talking about and being thought provoking without any solid bases just for the sake of showing about better they are.

Articles about economics often have the worst discussions together with anything related to social sciences but even physics and biology get a terrible treatment. Even reddit is better in that regard because even if the commenters are not necessarily more knowledgeable at least they don't take themselves too seriously.

Unfortunately I don't have a great unified resource to propose as an alternative because the interesting people to follow in those domains are often not super active in the internet.

This is an interesting view that captures a substantial portion of computer science including also programs and proofs with a short and clear criterion.

However, a key drawback of this view is that it undersells the linguistic aspect of computer science which is manifested in the search for suitable programming languages.

I think it is justified to regard the design of programming languages as a core area of computer science, and that design space is not finite.

Amazon Japan even in 2013 was amazing. My host family ordered an out of print trail guide to the hiking trail between Osaka and Tokyo after I had failed to find it in every major book shop in Osaka. If memory serves it was delivered in about 6 hours.

I only remember the name from the movie "Vidocq" with Gérard Depardieu from 2001.

It was fantasy based on the historic figure. But I liked the visual style of it.
Well, Google lump search and display ads together themselves. You can run display ads as retargeting campaigns from search ads.

> Search ads get a much smaller lift from personalization.

Search itself has seen huge improvements from personalization. It's hard to imagine that the same shouldn't be the case for the ads shown for a particular query as with the results.
Hi, I'm the author of the website you are referring to.

The website is built using webflow, which is a very reasonable choice for someone who wants to run a website who is not also a developer. Embedding or linking to content on third party services like youtube, twitter or airtable is not an unusual thing to do.

The website has no revenue model, and has been provided free of charge since 2010. Though it's not perfect - it would after all be preferable to entirely javascript-free - it's had a tiny net positive effect on the web.

You suggested using NocoDB instead of airtable. NocoDB was launched 3 days ago.
That's perverse. You shouldn't have to self-censor out of fear. The fact that Amazon (Doordash, Google, ...) can get away with just cancelling people's accounts willy nilly and they'd have no recourse is a gaping hole in regulations.

BTW, it's off-topic, but this right here is the among best arguments we can make for strong privacy, and against mass surveillance. If people are willing to swallow monetary damage out of fear to upset an algorithm that may cut back their privileges, imagine what happens to political free speech when you have to fear govt surveillance and black vans.
Yeah, and I think everyone in the debate agrees on that. But given that, why is there a call to set up teams of censors who have no qualifications and come from an essentially unknown culture?

It is foreseeable that the YouTube/Twitter/Facebook censorship teams will be run by someone with ties to high level people in the Democratic or Republican party. Either of those is bad. Or maybe even quiet ties to foreign governments. If not them, it'll be people who are "ex"-big tobacco or Fox News/CNN types or ... I mean, the list gets long very quickly. And by "foreseeable" I don't mean possible, I mean likely to the point of certainty. The payoffs are massive for corrupting these single points of failure and there are a lot of people out there who will try.

And the outcome of all of this is people with suspect credentials shutting down conversation or ideas from actual experts in the field.

This article is advocating bad ideas. I'll accept that they may be inevitable, but it is going to be worse than it is now. We'll be protected from stuff that is (1) harmless or (2) true but politically threatening to whoever controls social media.
Do you have any technical docs on how you use V8 in this case?

That's not true for every item. Items can be shipped and sold by a third party even if bought on Amazon.com. It's up to the buyer to check this when purchasing. The easiest way to tell is to check if the item is 'Prime' or not, but even then it's better to check who is selling and shipping.

Edit: I am describing the process as it is now. I am not saying that it should be this way.
Looking at their code tree, this is based on 11.2 (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/release-11-2.html):

> "The turning point in my life was the day I realized to run great engineering teams I didn’t need to be the best engineer in the world, I needed to get good at advertising my people and their stories up the chain of command. I needed to improve their observability so that we can keep bureaucracy at bay by maintaining a high level of trust."

Poof. Another Big Tech middle manager got their wings.

This cynical surrendering is not keeping bureaucracy at bay, at all. It's joining the bureaucracy and increasing its size. It is the bureaucracy.

At companies that have competent managers up and down the hierarchy, it doesn't have to be like this. Good work can be judged by good managers, and rewarded, without anyone having to play bureaucratic games. There are companies, mostly smaller, that work like this.

It seems to reliably fail as companies scale, but for each company it might fail at a different point. The longer competent management can be maintained, the better chance of the company succeeding in a big way.

But all it takes is one good manager hiring a bad manager and the whole thing can start to fall apart. Once the company culture starts to reward people for playing bureaucratic games more than doing good work, it becomes broken and dysfunctional. Diseased.

Everyone quickly realizes that the dynamic has shifted. That good work isn't rewarded any better than bad work that is well marketed internally.

And so the best people, who have the most confidence and ability, go to smaller/better companies that know how to reward the people that do the best work. The other people stay and settle in for long-term escalating bureaucratic warfare.

And these broken companies are left to fail or ride out the momentum generated before they were broken. All the while being miserable places to work.
I'd say that it's more of a "damn fine", and "fucking awesome" would be "ohuenno". Both of them are vulgar ofc
The cost is one time and can be relatively contained. Also if you design for redundancy you dont have to do a hard cutoff - just deploy your next region to a dc/different cloud and then gradually drain old ones.
But at least you can throw the paper in the recycling now, instead of never looking at the paper again.

Ok. X-rays are not that good, it mostly is guesswork. But I remembered other indicator. Does it hurt when you push the roots from outside at your face? Also does it feel mushy or liquid-ly at some point. I had totally painless bag of puss under my eye for 10 years. Only when got infected for the second time, it started to hurt and needed a canal, via which the said puss squirted out. It is like totally new now, did not even need a crown.
Probably like in "The Rainmaker". Automatically deny every claim above $X. If there's a complaint on the denial, automatically approve or deny based on a new number $Y. Most people give up before you finally get a real human to actually check the case.

Yes. Indeed in much of the world outside the USA there isn't even such a label as "computer science"; the stuff that's taught as "computer science" in the USA is taught under some sort of "math" label.
That doesn't sound like a good strategy. If they are bad at fulfilling their orders, why would you care if they are also stupid and cancel your account instead of fixing their problems? They are not the only merchant online.
Well, it's hard to evaluate a complex situation like yours, but I get the sense that you're doing a lot of outward searching for good things, e.g., searching for a good job, satisfying interactions with others, interesting topics that could be studied for a long time, etc. Let me suggest that you may be finding this search discouraging because you've gained perspective. I was obsessed with computers for 20 years, and I just can't see them the way I used to because I just don't think the big wins lie in some new web site or app or database or whatever.

There's a good book called _The Path to Nibbana_ that describes a practice I've found helpful. It's about reducing craving. Reducing craving allows there to be contentment and equanimity, and a different kind of happiness than most people are used to in that it doesn't depend on anything. In any case, whatever you do, I hope you'll feel better.
My main concern has always been time scales. If the aliens biology function a million time faster or slower than us it would be very hard to communicate.
No thanks. I don't like having to give you all of this personal information you really don't need in order to try your product.

Wow, this is a bit rich coming from the NYT. They are among the worst offenders.
I guess a lot depends on who and how they pay to deliver. I got an internal x260 battery (that can't configure properly in Linux, if anyone knows about it) a few days ago and has been a disaster.

In the case of Spain their customer support is fine, but it falls flat because delivery is a shitshow.
> Same with "Computer Science" it's all logic games.

Unlike math, it's domain related applications though. What are databases, codecs, regexes or neural nets - abstractions or concrete tools for specific uses? It's not all platonic.

On Android, the system back button works most of the time to close ads. You don't have to look at the ad screen at all to try to find a way out, at some point you just develop a reflex that makes it go away instantly without relying on advertiser's mercy.

Or, block ads system-wide. There's an app called Blokada, and you can also use the DNS-o-TLS support ("private DNS") to do that.
That’s exactly what I meant. :)

Of course there is strong correlation between testing rates and cases. If you don't test clinically you can't know you have them. Tanzania for the longest time didn't do any testing at all and as a result officially had 0 cases.

That noise is usually intended for pedestrians.

Over here in France there's such a law too, but from my 2005 car, I cannot hear that noise. I barely hear the loud motorcycles behind me too, FWIW. When I hear them, they're usually up next to me.

When on foot, that's a different story. If there's low to no traffic, having an electric sneak up on you can be destabilizing.

Then again, I also ride motorcycles and remember one day, in a quiet neighborhood, there were three people walking in the middle of the street for some reason and didn't hear my bike, which was loader than the artificial electric car noise. They weren't wearing headphones, and given the time of day were probably not drunk either.
