Me too, but GP has an argument along these lines here.

Commute is a big, and often deciding factor, in private car ownership. Get rid of it, and most drivers will lose the major reason for owning a car. Expand the delivery systems for day-to-day stuff like groceries, and another big reason - buying in bulk - goes away. While people living in sparsely populated areas will still need their cars, the dwellers of large cities with serviceable public transport infrastructure might be more inclined to get rid of their cars, and just rent one for an occasional out-of-town errand.

In this way, normalizing work from home creates top-down pressure for reducing the number of private cars in use.

This is a part of Huawei OpenHarmony Android replacement and is a "native" alternative to building a UI using standard Android Java and associated frameworks. The framework also contains a number of low level APIs that allow the JavaScript to access things like the tempature of the device's battery and some sort of distribution mechanism.

For an overview of the framework see:

Remote works kills many communication channels and opportunities. It can be a good thing but not as permanent state of affairs. 2-3 days in office is probably something where you can get good balance.

If you have a team of people assigned to you, you need to care about them, not just organize the work. It's near impossible to see when someone's is getting stressed, until something breaks. It's extremely hard to integrate newcomers.

People have trivial things that hold them back, but they don't know how to communicate those issues or may not even know about them. Just observing and interacting with them will clear them up quickly.
Eagle is now Fusion360, and so free for non-commercial or $10k would buy you more than 10y of subscription, I suppose that's debatable whether it's more or less than $10k for one-off perpetual licence, but I suppose I'd suggest if you were paying that much for software you probably also need it newer than 10y old and would've spent it again on a newer version?

Interesting, however I think any data gathered during the pandemic is not too useful. WFH is very abnormal currently for most. My current WFH productivity is certainly lower than when I WFH pre-pandemic.

If I was making decisions about the future of a company I would allow totally flexibility for at least 6 months post-pandemic so I could gather more accurate data. Trying to make people decide what they want (remote/office/mix) now is going to lead to decisions that people end up changing a little down the line.
I fully agree with the author that it is extremely unlikely that AI will take over in the foreseeable future.

I think that the question whether the system understands is mainly a red herring. The Turing test elegantly skips this entire issue. It seems to me that we are currently pretty close to passing the Turing tests in some limited domains.

This one seems even easier than a Turing test. There are many different types of poetry, and many poems are quite incomprehensible to most readers. Given the impressive results of current language generating systems (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPT-3), training one of them to generate poems should not be too difficult.

> Forking Android is not a big deal, and huge companies like Amazon do it for its FireOS. The difference is that Amazon is upfront about it and says "FireOS is a fork of Android" in the first paragraph of its developer documents. Huawei's developer documents don't reference Android and are mostly pure gibberish—and by that I mean they are paragraphs of buzzwords and circular links that don't actually communicate any technical information about what the OS is or how it works.

One question: IF there is a CHANCE that the entire OS is indeed just a `sed s/Android/whatever/g AOSP/`, is it legal (for a company that large) to do that?

If it is, please call me the creator of RobotOSxxx OS (Which really fuzzwords could not may Android) from now on.

> There are just too many distractions in the modern home

Have you been in an office? Nobody respects boundaries and you can't teach them to do so, because they're stubborn adults who don't care about you. At home, the only other people are people who are willing to listen and compromise. Perhaps you don't have that and that's very sad for you, but a healthy home has ways to make it more effective and better than an office.

As for your claim about "a lot of people do it so it must be better", that doesn't tell us anything except that it was tradition. A tradition that deserves to die, hopefully with micromanaging managers.

Honestly, this characterisation doesn't ring true to me at all. I find long functions much easier to read, inspect and think about than dutifully decomposed lasagne that forces me to jump around the codebase. But also, like... Scanning for matching braces? Who is writing your code? Indentation makes that extremely clear. And your IDE should have a number of tools for quickly establishing uses of a name, and scope.

The older I get, the more I think the vast majority of issues along the lines of "long code is hard to reason about" are just incompetent programmers being let loose on the codebase. Comment rot is another one - who on earth edits code without checking and modifying the surrounding comments? That's not an inherent feature of programming to me, it's crazy. However, I absolutely see comment rot in lasagne code - because the comments aren't proximate to the algorithm.

With regards to the idea that abstractions inherently misrepresent, I'll defer to Joel Spolsky for another point:

Build something around GPT-3. It's still nascent. Only a handful are profitable.

The top one is making $100k MRR in just 7 months → https://twitter.com/deadcoder0904/status/1398141109075730436...

One sold for ~$1m when it had $20k MRR in 8 months of launch → https://twitter.com/levelsio/status/1377095814963589125?lang...

Another smaller one sold for $4k with $100 MRR → https://twitter.com/heyyfernanda/status/1398679798281605120?...

There are many others getting funded because of GPT-3 → https://twitter.com/kearonis/status/1378832191413702663?lang...

So I'd suggest building it around GPT-3 as it's just a bunch of API calls. Make it profitable & sell it if it's a life-changing amount. The hype around GPT-3 is at an all-time high so big exits should be easy.

Plenty of managers know about Goodhart's Law - they just also know about the power of incentives / KPIs / OKRs when properly managed. And they imagine they'll properly manage them.

After all, you can't believe in perverse incentives without first believing in incentives!

People in business largely believe in sales people getting bonuses for closing big sales, CEOs getting bonuses for raising the stock price, and workers getting bonuses for delivering projects on time and under budget.

Given that lousy managers would cause more people to quit, which we can reasonably suppose, wouldn't a system like this favor the lousiest managers? After a while, you'd expect the organization to end up with the worst possible managers, and a steady employee churn rate?

As a selection process it sounds pretty much the worst one imaginary. However, these organizations seems to not only survive but prosper. There must be more to it than this.
> Commutes are responsible for a 10% drop in hourly wages

Maybe statistically, OK. But if you have a nice commute it may be likely the best part of your day. I have a mostly flat, 40 min bike ride in the woods every day, and it is my "me time" that I cherish and lets me unwind before and after work. Definitely not "lost time".
I think the idea that you don't need k8s if you have Erlang isn't entirely wrong, but it also does people a disservice by making them sound equivalent when they complement each other really well.

K8s is like an additional level of supervisor that applies to an entire node, and provides really easy scaling and clustering. It's a great tool to run an Erlang app, especially if you already have a managed k8s cluster anyway.

This article describes it well: http://blog.plataformatec.com.br/2019/10/kubernetes-and-the-...
"According to a Harris Poll/Lego survey covering the United States, Britain, and China, 29% of children aged eight to 12 want to be a “YouTuber.” That’s three times as many as those who want to be astronauts.

Other polls suggest an even higher percentage of teenagers aspire to fame and fortune via YouTube or another social media platform. An eye-grabbing news report out this month suggested a whopping 54% of Americans aged 13 to 38 would become an “influencer” given the chance, with 12% already considering themselves influencers."

There's been an entire industry of so called "content houses" popping up. Okay maybe not literally millions are dropping out of school but it has become a real thing with a non-trivial amount of teenagers and 20-somethings ditching careers for what is basically entertainment gigs.

There is no such myth. Nobody is surprised that you can say something about a distribution if you know some facts about the distribution. Using "single data-point" in two completely different ways is just bait and switch.

Any data pertaining to humans would be a single data-point in the true sense, which in itself gives almost zero information. You can't compare that to knowing global properties of the sample or the distribution, it's completely different things.
There's no real conflict there, because the proper courts always have priority, same as in any other arbitration arrangement when the parties don't agree to participate.

> just put more hardware to it or modularize your application

This is not that easy as it seems.

Rust compilation is not embarrassingly parallel as a lot of what's going on seems to be deferred at the link stage.

Modules inside a crate can't be compiled in parallel because of some reason I don't truly understand, please educate me.

Crates can be truly compiled in parallel, crating projects with hundreds of crates is quite a pain for other reasons.

The result is that a change single line of code in the project I'm working in can take more than 2 minutes on my last gen MacBook pro.

I have a M1 Mac mini where the compilation is twice as fast but I don't have enough RAM there and I'll have a hard time to convince my manager to make an exemption to my companies laptop refresher policies "because of rust".

If I have to take a coffee break every time I need to wait for an incremental compilation my heart would explode.

My current solution is:

1. Multitask. Do somethings else while I'm waiting.

2. Split the code that I'm iterating on in a new project. With minimal dependencies and copy the code back in the main project when I'm done (or just import it as a crate if it makes sense)

Both options suck and I wish they weren't necessary. Please let me know what else could I do. What hardware should I buy etc

(I already use zld on Mac and use minimal debug symbols, iirc debug=1)

It can reduce the distortion which is what really matters more than frequency balance.
The problem as I understand it is the equal loudness curves. The bass itself may be perceived possibly tens of dB quieter in relation to the distortion which occurs an octave or more above the original frequency, so that the perceived distortion is amplified. The measurement should be multiplied by the loudness curves, which shows the trully horrible distortion at bass, which pollutes the sound way up into the mids.
Even at that site you can read statements like "below 100Hz, 10% [harmonic distortion] is OK", which just isn't true.

I'm currently trying out Bastion (also Rust) in a project and while I still have more to learn I must say: multithreading never felt this simple. Sending data between actors feels as easy as defining onclick listeners in JS, but with added benefits like typing and pattern matching on messages. Panicking threads are restarted so instantly by default I only notice it via their loss of state. And everything that I usually found cumbersome in that area is just...gone.

Regarding your recommendation of Actix: according to its website it seems to be mainly a web framework?

That’s a lot of presumptions. It may be as simple as noticing that teams with a higher attrition rate are more productive on average and faithfully treating that observation as a causal link.

It may be successful in the short run, but that doesn’t make it a good long term strategy. It may be a good long term strategy but that doesn’t make it ethical.

Effectively this draws 'black boxes', but in a way that allows the developer to recover much information from the document if desired.

The trick is in the ppm format, where a 0, 00, and 000 are all valid 'black' values. The redaction works by turning all 'digits' into zeros in the specified area ... but obviously you can recover much information by turning those zeros back into full values. In the case of black-on-white text, this effectively recovers the text completely. Brilliant!
"setting up a new service as part of an Erlang release is just an order of magnitude simpler."

Maybe this is something to consider: by the use of gen_servers erlang/elixir allows mere developers to build a service, which in the end is just a (lightweight) process managed by OTP (the erlang runtime, so to speak). No ops involved.

This makes a lot of sense. Thank you :-)

Those are complicated matters.

I just have no idea how to do this properly at the moment. I am just hearing people's opinions for now and I'll try and do something that people are generally happy with. On the other hand, it's also true that one cannot please everyone.

To me it's like: "I have done something that I think is cool, let's see what people think about it".

I mentioned that I wanted to do a product out of this and people got emotional, as if it was granted that it's going to be a huge success.

I really wish it was that easy. I think that this is not realistic. It would take a lot of work from a lot of people who need to be paid because they need to pay their own bills to make this into a success. And it still could fail.

I regret having mentioned that I may want to turn this into a product, because it put too much focus on that rather than on the tech that I have developed.
