> The military--a completely flat structure of promotion based primarily on tenure and time-served, not necessarily ability or award/recognition.

That's...not how the military works at all. I suppose it might appear approximately that way if you look only at the officer corps and, within that corps, only at survivors of the up-or-out policy. But, while their are minimum time bounds, subjective assessment of fitness (i.e., demonstrated ability) is the main key to selection for promotion.
I was one of those lunatics. :)
I think Private Idaho is perfection. The album's a bit all over the place, though. :D

I was graciously allowed to take 4 weeks paid right at birth and I'll take another 4 weeks paid when he's 1 year old. I'm already so looking forward to it. In the beginning it was all about figuring everything out and surviving together. The next one is hopefully going to be more of a bonding and getting to know each other opportunity.
Again, super happy about that. And I feel grateful that that's what working in tech allows me.
> ... your colleague who is ultra competitive and childless ... will just snatch up your position and when you are back you will find yourself sidelined. I see zero issues with this

The major issue with this is that it discourages having children and that is a major social problem in many countries of the world. Many developed nations are on the cusp of devastating demographic decline and fertility rates have been falling in developing nations for decades which can't replace 100s of millions of retiring Europeans/Chinese etc.
Yeah, and for a father to take paternity leave suggests the father's job and family's financial situation are doing reasonably well. Financial stability plays a huge factor in keeping couples together.
oops, somehow my response to another thread got put here.
My personal experience of almost all such frameworks is that their very existence drives competition for promotions. In turn, that can lead to (unspoken) resentment of one’s peers.

But once such frameworks are introduced, they are difficult to get rid of.

Consequently, I see the introduction of these frameworks as a committal culture step which should not be taken lightly.
In the military it's also paired with an up-or-out system that discharges (what are judged to be) mediocre officers.
> The logic being: If you’re gone for 6 months and everything functions just fine, are you really that important?

Well, yes, I think that's the crux of it. If you work in a place you like then - if you're smart - you'll not only work well, but also make sure everybody knows you're an valuable asset and without you things could go awry. It kind of conflicts with your disappearing for a few months.
This sounds normal. When someone wants to leave a job, whatever their reasons, their best move is often to find another job in the same niche, as it allows them to bring their subject matter knowledge.

If you are reading anything more into it other than a person made a change in their career for their own reasons, you are reading too much.

Not all cars are set to depreciate. If you buy something more rare or in demand you will probably see it worth about the same when you sell, sometimes decades down the line. If you bought an aircooled 911 or some old land cruiser today, it would probably be worth even more in 15 years even with your mileage.
Full-contact always implies dangers, hence the need to differentiate it from light sparring or whatever. I once read somewhere that high school wrestling has the highest career-ending injuries of any major sport, at 40 percent. Football was closer to 30.

But I agree head injuries are a far bigger concern than elbow/knee etc. And making striking arts safe tends to make them unrealistic. So grappling sports like Judo are a much better combination of self-defense and safety.

Speaking frankly, I have been through the different roles and levels and I don't see the point of it all.

There's really only 3 non-exec roles in a software company, only 2 of them cut code, and one is just a placeholder for the junior devs.

Want to know how to keep people? Give them a little pay rise every 6 months and let them own a part of the product instead of having a no-responsibility JIRA burn and churn roster.
C like any other language, also has JITs and scripting implementations to chose from.

It was most definitely one of if not the most central plot point of the series. Not sure how far you got, but the entire series including the prequels is worth a read imho.
When all of these (IMO, highly predictable) articles come out about paternity and maternity leave, I wish they would also highlight that these leave policies just show the gaping inequalities in the workforce, especially in the US where leave is not mandated.

I mean, the only reason the tech giants are able to offer such generous leave is because their businesses are almost unfathomably profitable, with limited competition, and because they are big enough that the work of any individual worker will not be missed that much. But why do virtually zero, say, small businesses like restaurants, cleaners, mechanics, etc. offer leave policies remotely like this? Because these businesses actually need all their workers to actually work, and when they don't, the business actually stops functioning.

If we really believe that parental leave and parental bonds are beneficial for society, then society should pay for it, instead of hoisting the cost onto companies, where only the richest companies are able to do so.

Taking 5 months off is pretty much same as changing a company or at very least the internal department/team. A lot happens in 5 months and from my experience no one who comes back from maternity or paternity leave stays with our company for long. I think this is because people think that they are coming back to whatever team and position they left, but that position has been refilled in that time and when they come back they are seated in which ever team has room. Which usually means completely new colleagues and usually new project as well. At which point they realize that they might as well just look for another job and often leave within the next 6 months.

It is easy to see why this kind of thing can have affect on your carreer development. Especially when people who have kids and take timeoff tend to have multiple kids and thus multple paternity leaves. If you take 10 months off work your carreer development drags behind 10 months and everytime you change your employer unless you can trade up your title you will be resetting whatever progress you've made towards the next job title (you might catch up faster to the same point you were in at the new job, but the progress still gets reset).

I don't think there is anything that can be done about this. This is how human brains work. Think about our ancestors. Someone goes away for long time and comes back. We might be glad that they are back, but they've missed out from the struggles and successes of that time, so we are less likely to promote them to the next leader of our group than someone who has been there while they were absent.

I do not believe that at any point paternity leave will work for men.

I do understand push and how it’s beneficial to woman and to children, but in my opinion the whole idea ignores men, how they feel about it and how men function in society in general.

On paper everything looks great: Mother gets an opportunity to get back to her career, children gets some bonding time with father that might benefit for years to come and father gets insight in the life of the child and caring for his family. Reality, however, for many men is different.

Often men's only friends are at work. Taking paternity leave not only detaches father from his friends but also creates a gap in father's group. If they have problem to whom they will come? Absent-at-work father will slowly get pushed out of the social group only because groups naturally seek opportunity to fill the void. Men aren't good at expressing emotions and everyone agrees that on paper paternity leave looks good. So what happens is that "oh yeah, relationship naturally deteriorated, and Tom really helped us with this project" but in reality it didn't and Tom hadn't. It's social dynamic that changed. Father knows what's up, his workgroup know what's up and yet no one will say "You know what, we missed you, you didn't even call us, so we were angry and decided Tom is our new friend and screw you". Yet while men don't really talk about emotions they can feel social dynamics and so it takes usually 1 or 2 fathers in workgroup and observation how social dynamics change around them after they come back. It's not ostracism, it's just when you're leaving your group for couple of months you cannot expect that they'll welcome you back even if you decided to leave them for a very sound reason.

Second thing is that men aren't really wired to take for the child. They don't get the same hormones woman and because of that experience of caring for the child is by default vastly different[*]. Men's bodies don't help them preserve the specie by releasing a number of happiness hormones as mothers body do. For men it's quite often the chore without positive feedback. And of course no one will ever complain about it as strong men are responsible and caring so it's not right thing to do, but I have yet to hear a man in my circle who will describe it as magical experience [1]. We live in an age where some fathers already took paternity leave and their children are teenagers and not adults and even those parents don't speak out outside of the "parenting improvement circles".

There are of course, many other factors, like the concept of breadwinner, strength of the partner relation etc., etc., but all of that combined makes me not believing it will ever take off on the big scale.

Anecdotal note: I spent 18 months taking care of my child during day while their mother worked and then for 1 year I was working in the evenings.

[1]: As with social dynamics there are always some outliers, response spectrums, variables and knobs so if that's you (and I do believe that HN hosts quite a lot of outliers on various topics) please take that into consideration :-)

Personally, I find this a far less impressive demo of the SuperH SH-4 CPU than, say, Doom running on a graphical calculator. A http server (not https) simply opens sockets, writes a string, and closes the socket, a task which is usually purely I/O bound. Implement something basic like HTTPS (introduced in 1994) and watch this CPU grind to a halt.

Not exactly your requirement but I heavily use Github Classroom while teaching and it generates a ton of repositories (one per exercise per student). I name them consistently and wrote a few command line scripts to grade, delete etc. them.
I completely disagree. The main issue is: can you produce a good product and sell it for a good price? Because there are many excellent products that are simply to expensive and the market simply ignores them or they're being used in niches.

But if you succeed in offering an inexpensive good product, people will do things for you. Espressif did that and what people are doing with these modules and boards is amazing.
I've seen plenty of freak issues with new cars that turn them into a similar pit, and not all of it under warranty or recall. The trick is to find a used car that just had some of this work done and from models that aren't plagued with these issues typically, and if the cars are 10 years old or so people start learning which of these models are the lemons and which will happily go 300k miles with not much drama.
Unfortunately we ended up giving in and using multiple GitHub organizations. There doesn't seem to be a better answer like repository tagging or labeling. It's not ideal, and has definitely resulted in lost issues, duplicated effort and the like. However - it's the best answer we have.
It's a zero sum game. You only have so many hours in your life so valuing two things means you value each thing half as much as someone who values one thing.
Read. The. Fucking. Article.

Then argue against the factual evidence it cites, not against some silly strawman.
We are currently moving from Bitbucket to GitHub (hurrah!), and since we were "assigned" a single organization in GitHub by our corporate parent, we are also looking at importing a lot of repositories into a single organization. And the inability to further organize these repositories has been a big disappointment for an otherwise good experience with GitHub. Pretty much what this thread is about!

We end up telling our teams to use the different search functions to help in making sense of the madness: search by language (automatically detected by GitHub), team, type (forks or other), topics and names. We have a decent process to make sure the appropriate topics are set for repositories (we manage all non-forks through Terraform), and to make sure that names include a useful prefix. Though I don't think we'll ever stop debating the right prefixes for our repository names.

It's a "poor man's" ordeal, that's for sure. Organizations are probably the right way to go, if you can.

We're still in the move, so too soon to tell, but I am also wondering if we aren't worried about a non-issue. Because while Bitbucket has "groups", I don't think I have ever consciously used those groups while working in Bitbucket (nor have we ever set up the Bitbucket groups very well for our organization anyway).
In the process of moving from GitLab to GitHub. We just use naming conventions for this: all repositories are called Company.Group.Product, where Group roughly corresponds to the old GL group.
Yeah until you need to cleanly shut everything down and avoid deadlocks or unbounded memory use.

It could definitely do with some improvements especially around closing channels and telling goroutines to stop.
Bullshit. People obeyed the first lockdown when everything was chaotic but since then it's been pretty hit and miss. People in the metro with no masks/mask under the nose, flouting of curfews, etc. If i had to guesstimate, around 20-30% of people didn't respect the social distancing and related measures.

It seems like people think this is sad or poignant. I don't, not really. Step by step, choice by choice, we came this way from where we were. You want to go back? You're free to do so: just get a place out in the woods, no running water or electricity, no trade, spending all day cultivating crops or animals to try to make sure you get approximately the number of calories you need.

People know they don't want to go back to that. But they don't want the baggage that comes along with the choices we made to have this situation instead of the old situation. Did you think it was going to be free? It's kind of a utopian streak in people. No matter how good they've got it, they always still think there's something wrong.

Or do you want to change something about the way things are today in order to make a better situation? Then you're just making the same "mistake" that you say people of the past did. What do you want? What would ever satisfy you?

That is your opinion. Another way to see things is that if you have to pay for repairs you should be able to choose whatever method suits you. If Tesla wants to restrict repairs they can include all repairs in the leasing price.

I would add that leasing is actually considered a temporary transfer of property in many legal systems.

Just like if you rent a flat the owner cannot tell you to use only a certain company to paint it or do some repairs (expect of course the ones that are paid by the owner)

It surely has a limit though. If you don’t have any actual skills and the hours put into acquiring them, but only bluff with buzzwords and delude yourself into believing that you have said skills while in reality you’re far, far from those who have actually put in the hours and mastered them, you won’t actually get very far. Of course in the OP’s case, things like buying Tesla stocks or crypto back in the day might have made him rich, but it might not have that much to do with being “optimistic”/“pessimistic”, but instead might be more a case of “getting lucky” I guess.

And people are paying an additional $10K to be part of the development process of FSD. You would think risking your life to fine tune a broken product would at least be free, but Tesla seems to think otherwise.

A fellow Seattlite here (well Vashon to be precise). I don’t know the numbers so I believe your numbers over my previous guess. But when I was thinking about the urban poor I was actually thinking about the suburbs as well. The Seattle area has a lot people living and working in places like White Center, Burien and Issaquah. Even those that live in the suburbs but work downtown, a lot of them ride the Sounder from Everet or Pyuallup, or walk on to the ferries from Bremerton or Southworth. The few times I commute to downtown with the Water Taxi I see a lot of people coming from Southworth on the WS ferry and transfer onto the Water Taxi to Colman Dock (probably less now that Southworth has their own PO boat).

But like I said, I don’t know the numbers at all. Here on Vashon I would guess that there is little correlation between economic position and whether or not you commute by car any further then the nearest park-and-ride. Although those that bike all the way to the ferry are probably on the richer side if I were to guess. I my self can walk to the highway and catch a bus to the Water Taxi (which is a pretty nice commute tbh). However I belive you when you say that the suburban poor outnumber any other group and that they are overwhelmingly drivers.
