One of the core mindsets that I build within my teams is that everybody is important, but nobody is critical.

This drives a lot of our practices. We assume that anybody could leave the team tomorrow, and that we need to onboard their replacement on the quick.

Building teams like this isn’t easy, but the outcomes and second-order effects are amazing.

> the agent we use has been involved in several sales and a purchase for our extended family in a few years, and we've referred other people to her, too.

Great, so you are wealthy and have wealthy friends and family. Cool. That still doesn’t mean agents are not trying to get prices up.

Your experience could mean that your agent noticed you had money and decided it would be in her best interest to treat you well.

You got me about how many times someone buys property. I looked it up and it seems like “most people can expect to own three homes during their lifetimes”. So, let’s say you buy your first home at 30 and die at 81, and own each house for the same time, then you’ll buy a new house every (81-30)/3 = 17 years. It’s very hard for me to believe that an agent will try to get someone a lower price just so they can work with them again 17 years later.

Also, given rising housing prices and the state of overall student debt/rising costs of education, I would bet that the average number of houses someone buys/owns in a lifetime is going to drastically go down in the next few decades (thus reducing even further the possibility of an agent of getting repeat business from a single client, unless maybe they are as wealthy as you and your friends and family).
I could go on and on about how great Nordic Noir shows are. They are a refreshing change from the American style of shows. The best are, in order, "Before We Die" (Sweden), "All The Sins" (Sweden), "Broen Bron - The Bridge" (Sweden, Denmark), "Bordertown" (Finland), "Deadwind" (Finland), "Ófærð - Trapped" (Iceland), "Rebecka Martinsson" (Sweden, first season)

I have the Millennium series queued up: "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", "The Girl who played with Fire", "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets"

The only Nordic Noir book I've read is Smilla's Sense of Snow, but I can't recommend.

There are two American Nordic Noir series I recommend: "The Killing", set in Seattle and based on the Danish show "Forbrydelsen." Also "Fargo" the movie and all 4 seasons of the TV series.

It's interesting that that Fargo sensibility that the Cohen Brothers captured so well comes from the Nordic regions. Duluth Minnesota was once called the Helsinki of America.
You are citing wafer sizes. Fabs are measured in mask sizes, the density, not the overall radius. The denser, the higher frequency you can run it, so they won't get that hot.

This is a 65nm fab, still running for the last year at half density at 130nm. Neighbors in Dresden have much better fabs,Infinion with 90nm and Global Foundries (ex-AMD) with 22nm.

So the Bosch Asics will run at roughly C64 speeds. Good enough for consumer cars.
Or maybe you have to little self awareness that you haven't even realized how heavily it applies.

And I am surprised that I have to point it out again: that you once wrote something which people used in java script says nothing whatsoever about your experience in frontend development.

In fact, it kinda confirms that you don't have any.

You sound like a grouchy old man that got left behind and loudly complains about it.
And here I am doing the job of 3-5 people with multiple cognitive shifts a day, with a good for region/weak for industry salary -_-
Your understanding of how Nebula works is incorrect.

If you checked Nebula's readme you'd see the following:

> Nebula lighthouses allow nodes to find each other, anywhere in the world. A lighthouse is the only node in a Nebula network whose IP should not change. Running a lighthouse requires very few compute resources, and you can easily use the least expensive option from a cloud hosting provider. If you're not sure which provider to use, a number of us have used $5/mo DigitalOcean droplets as lighthouses.

Beyond that, innernet does not run on nebula.
I remember that BSDs original ftpd had a login password limitation with a wrong bytes allocation and a resulting RCE attack surface, which ultimately is still a threat to outdated ProFTPd instances running on Windows. (see exploitdb, it's full of PoCs)

I always asked myself: Why not simply use sshd and no login shell for the created user? Gives you legit transport encryption, blocking of keys/certs you wanna ban, and is the definition of battleproven software.

I never understood plaintext auth via encrypted transportation layers. They simply don't make sense to me from a security standpoint, and the risks of a broken transport layer is just too damn high as you must have control of every OSI level to really be able to verify it and that's never the case.
As a compiler writer, when I hear the term "memory model", I immediately assume it's referring to a multithreaded memory model, and is going to discuss when writes are guaranteed to be made visible to other threads.

A better term for what's discussed here would be the "object model"--you're effectively describing how you would represent a conceptual object in different memory organization schemes.
I can imagine it being downplayed out of fear that it could slow down the vaccination program by pushing people over the edge that were hesitant to get vaccinated and possibly questioning covid-19 in the first place.

I guess it’s a good way of thinking. But it’s too idealistic.

You see: if you do this it’s true that you might be able to make everyone’s life easier and you may advance your career, but (you knew there was a but) you also lose most of the leverage that comes with specialization and having critical knowledge. Yes, it may be harder to switch what you’re working on inside the current workplace, but it also means that passing you on promotions and rewards can lead to a lot of pain if you decide to look outside.

As always, there is a soft spot between being the perfect engineer and 100% disposable because of your impeccable “work ethic” vs just being a nightmare to work with and people not having a choice at all.
$40k only gets you permission to hook up. The inspections, excavation, and most of the plumbing work needs to be paid for by the owner independently. So all the work that actually costs resources to do is not part of that $40k fee.
Same. Covid in January, J&J a few weeks ago.
I don't really think it was necessary, but the risk of taking it balanced out the risk of reinfection, both of which seemed really low.
I've been to this shop. Interestingly, his 'new' business is also something of a relic of the past. At some point in history the post office in Panjim started insisting that it is mandatory for international packages to be sewn into a linen enclosure to protect the package. I remember this being a common practice a few decades ago everywhere in India but I haven't seen anyone do this in Delhi or Mumbai for at least the last 20 years. Yet it continues to be 'mandatory' here, and he has a monopoly on serving this market.
The simple solution, I think, is to give permission. Look for ways to optimize, simplify, refactor. Do it within story work when that makes sense. Don't "hide" it but if you have some time, do what you feel is important and interesting let the team know what you found out. Set the example. You shouldn't need a JIRA ticket to improve the system, do a quick spike or take a s** and on my team, you don't.
Maybe that connotation doesn't translate into German
Did New Orleans enter your consideration?
Yeah, no. I've literally read hundreds of RFCs, thousands of man pages, and who knows how much else. If I spent time writing down everything I know, I'd never get anything else done. And it's not like I'm some supergenius, all of this info is available freely on the internet. But that doesn't stop folks from asking about DNS, TCP, and other well documented things.

Many times domain knowledge is just a person who has the answers somewhat fresh in memory so you don't have to go trudging. But writing those things down each time is both futile and redundant.
This seems like a good way to waste a lot of time on something management won’t care about until after they can’t do anything for you.

It deeply undermines your leverage if they want to fire you also.
> The unvaccinated are still vectors for the infection of those who cannot be vaccinated, such as the immunocompromised

Is it actually the case that immunocompromised people cannot be vaccinated? The ones that I know have been; as far as I know, the mRNA vaccines by virtue of not being based on live virus are not dangerous to those with weakened immune systems.
Heh. Funny -- I participated in reddit secretsanta years ago, and never got anything in return. First and last secret santa from me.

It's like I got scammed by one of those indian grandma-targeting call centers, but only out of like 50 bucks instead of a few grand in iTunes cards.

I haven't thought about that in a long time.
I've lost more coworkers to promotions, transfers and medical emergencies, family problems, mental health breaksz maternity/paternity leave then I ever did to firings and quitting.

Don't be a hero, don't work every day, build redundant systems where you can make an impact but can leave without blowing everything up.
Explo is different from the other SAAS tools as it's designed specifically for external use cases, so our platform is built with features such as security, flexible design, responsiveness, and version control as first class principles.
And the leftists on Reddit have adopted the same playbook but the admins don’t care to stop it. Whereas the_donald was just one offender, dozens of subreddits manage to spam the same kind of content to the front page. It’s not uncommon to see the exact same submission appear twice on r/all from subreddits like r/AOC and r/ourpresident.

Or, they co-opt subreddits like r/murderedbywords, r/facepalm, r/insanepeoplefacebook to constantly submit political messaging, usually screenshots of tweets.
Yep. Any time I actually care about the value of a resistor (which is to say, for precision analog work, not power supplies or logic pull-ups or LEDs or ...), I'll pick a cheap thin-film part, even without doing analysis. This does several things for me:

1. I get a "pretty good" (i.e., >80% of best achievable performance for <<20% of the effort) resistor in my important location.

2. I get a separate BOM line item for that resistor, so it stands alone (or with similarly important parts) and is easy to single out to, say, ensure correct ordering.

3. The part will be physically distinctive, so I can also distinguish it on the circuit board. If I have space, I'll even go up one size, to make it impossible to swap out with the less critical parts. (It would work fine, if expensive, to put thin-films everywhere. The reverse is not true.) It also sends the "pay attention to this" signal to anyone down the line who only has the board to work from.

I favor Susumu thin-film resistors, as they're generally cost-competitive, very high quality, available in very tight tolerances if needed, and visually easily identifiable as Susumu parts (though the series is not identifiable). This means they have to be thin-film, because Susumu doesn't make anything else. RR and RG series are the go-to parts here. If cost is a concern, Yageo RT is also excellent, but not as noticeable on the board. For analog work, I'll go no smaller than 0603 (1608M) to ensure values are printed on the parts. This pays for itself after only one gain resistor mixup on the bench....

It's not tax evasion when active military does it. They have a system and criteria for selecting which state you want to be a legal resident of. I don't recall how it works off the top of my head.
Container ships mitigate this problem since the cargo is restricted from moving all over the ship, and is instead confined to its own container.
Quantum computing is difficult to explain because you have to learn a mathematical model to understand it. You cannot make use of metaphors & analogies to familiar references. Why? Because our language developed in a classical world. It is not equipped to deal with quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanical objects are an entirely new ontological category. Light is not a particle, nor is it a wave; it's a different third kind of thing with which you've had no prior experience. The last time most people encountered a new ontological category was in early childhood, and since then they've been building up knowledge by relating it to what they already know. The only way to surmount this obstacle is to learn a new language - the language of mathematics. All metaphors and analogies will lead you astray; they will only confuse. Thankfully the math is quite easy, it is only basic linear algebra. Learn the math and you will learn quantum computing. Don't learn the math and you will not learn quantum computing.

Let's take the simplest phenomenon in quantum computing: superposition. People get very confused about superposition. Something being both 0 and 1 at the same time? Like fuzzy logic? Is it 0 and 1? Is it 0 or 1? No, superposition is a linear combination of 0 and 1 which can be collapsed according to certain measurement rules. It can also be manipulated with quantum logic gates. There is no simpler way of explaining it.
But Ireland did not choose English as their EU language, they chose Irish.
If you are trying to put structure to your code, you would like to get instant feedback on how that structure works from the outside. That is how the api works, the best way to do is to make a test which actually uses your code, and asserts some invariants on it.

With tdd the idea is you write a test first to explore how your code should be called, then you make that code, satisfy the test and add more requirements and repeat the whole thing. Once you have a bunch of tests which are defining the use cases in your code, you can refactor/structure your code internally without affecting the tests or if you think the whole api could be simpler, change the whole thing along with tests. The refactoring at this stage is generally of higher quality since you have a concrete idea of all the ways your code needs to work while as if you refactor early there is little guarantee that it's any good except for intuition.

If you are structuring or abstracting without examples of how your code is to be used, then the design often turns out to be inefficient, overly complex, coupled or over abstracted.

Admittedly this TDD approach is a bottom up design method, it takes time and effort and it's not well suited for problems where you already have a good idea of how code should look like/feel/behave.

You don't need to run these tests every time in ci, you can delete them or keep them as documentation or run them whenever you have to work on the code again.

I'm a bit confused by all the anti Canadian pipeline sentiment in the US. Is this a Biden thing or something broader. I get the focus on using less oil, environment, etc. But Canada is a key US ally and oil is still a strategic resource. It seems crazy for the US to not want Canadian oil. What am I missing?
They're both subscription services. One's just "too big to fail".
I agree. Share everything, and be willing to train up more junior people so they can do your job. I have a (good or bad habit, depending on point of view) of not staying long at jobs, but often returning (I have worked for two managers, three different times; and a couple managers two times). I try not to burn bridges, but I enjoy working on new stuff with new people.

While it is not explicitly illegal, you are most definitely violating your employment agreement so your employer will fire you if they find out and might sue you as well.

The problem is really that multiple parties may be able to claim the rights to all of your output while you were on their payroll, which is obviously messy from a legal standpoint.

I'm not sure about the specific details of the island example from above, but residency laws can get complicated. Summering for 3 months is obvious. But what about 5-4-3? What if you own property in one of the states? The list goes on. A given state will have laws specifying who can legally claim residency.

It gets really weird if multiple states attempt to "claim" you - I believe there was a supreme court case regarding state income tax in such a scenario.
This is a double-edged sword. It'd mean that common people should be able to use crypto and the mythic threats of terrorist finance and laundering are not that serious since it can be traced. And normal people won't do that but use it in other simple ways.
Yep, my indespensibleness is that I have all this mostly useness knowledge in my head, and if you show me the problem, I can usually get something useful out of my brain to get somewhere quickly. And if not, I can skim the code and get an idea; and if not, I can sort of operate a debugger.

What do you want me to write down to help someone else do that? Read all the things, just in case!
Disclaimer: not Indian but living in India and I've not attempted to perform this hack. But if I'm not mistaken a SIM swap procedure is the similar to asking for a new SIM.

For Vodafone India, in addition to traditional info (date of birth, passport number, address), they actually asked me to give the number of someone whom I've called with this SIM, then they called that person and asked them to verify my identity. I found this to be quite secure.

But maybe the procedure is different for foreigners (at least the SIM creation procedure is different).
You make some good points. Time difference is definitely a factor, but the thing is that with people WFH, you presumable are already dealing with people working in different timezones. So you organize those trips to always be somewhat within +-4h of the most of your employees. And those who can't join, will join into another destination. It would surely be one of those things you'd have to have a team dedicated to organize. But that's a team that would replace a bunch of existing, office-specific operational positions.

Food and bacteria – well, that's true. Although not everyone is affected and these come mostly from poor hygiene of either cooks/staff or the employees themselves. You make sure you choose a trusted and tested locations and educate your employees over tap water usage. I guess not much more can be done.

> There’s also the issue that you’re usually there for work, not just fun.

I think it's a matter of the vision. I absolutely would have made it to be more fun than work. First of all, in my example those would be frequent, so there would be less or no FOMO and not everyone would go to each of them. Which means you could definitely delegate the line support to those absent. If you ended up getting called in for help after all, that's just life. But, that's also unlikely to happen each time you getaway.

> you’re gonna be doing 40+ hours working

Well, no. I understand it may have been like this in your case, but it shouldn't be. I see those getaways more as a concentrated leisure/team-building activities you otherwise do throughout the year in the office and still get paid for. Except here you have an added benefit of actually being able to hold some really cool, out of the "cubicle-box" brainstormings/hackatons. Plus all the team building games, parties, etc. – again, all those things you'd normally do in the office to actually bond with people.
You said, "This changes nothing for people like you while giving more opportunities for others." I'm just pointing out that's completely untrue.

True to the title and not the article, I actually went through this phase recently. I was interviewing for a new job that I was excited about getting. I purposefully never got my hopes up, but towards the end I knew I was going to get the job.

I went into 2 weeks notice mode. I started getting stuff done that I put off doing. I finished stuff that were on my list of to-dos for years. I was extremely productive. Felt amazing, and that feeling has continued on and I’ve continued to be more productive than I ever have. I got out of my rut.

Force yourself into the mindset that you only have 30 days left to get things done. It may work wonders for your productivity.
So the "program Fortran in any language" (using only arrays as illustrated in the linked paper[1]) is interesting. I didn't know it was called that since I didn't learn Fortran. (I just flashed back to a memory of someone I worked with around 2000 who said he wrote Fortran in Perl.)

Once, I was in a hurry to write a Tetris clone using pygame library, and was just starting to learn Python, so I read just enough of the Python tutorial to get started (but didn't get to classes) and then wrote it without any classes (structures), and just used all parallel arrays instead. It reminded me of the way I originally learned to write text adventures in Basic (from a short book in the 80s about how to do that, by Christopher Lampton).[2]

I've been interested in Forth lately, so it was interesting to see him bring that up as well.

> Today, everyone knows about CTRL+F.

Not everyone knows that, I don't even think to try it unless there's a corresponding control or menu item. It's also not universal, outlook is one of the most heavily used GUIs in the world and ctrl-f means forward in that. Then you've got the ubiquity of touch screens where ctrl-f isn't even an option.

Everyone's seen a GUI, but that doesn't mean they've seen the particular GUI they're trying to use at any given time.

Approach management and discuss a comp increase? Tell them you constantly have tech recruiters hitting you up with far loftier packages but you love the current firm and just want to have a more equitable compensation package.

If not, start looking. There are thousands of good-paying jobs out there. We're in a significant labor shortage for engineers and many companies are upping the stakes through stronger compensation and fully-remote-forever work environments. Take advantage of the situation.
