The product and engineering managers I've had in the past have generally been humble, acting as a touchstone of coordination for the folks on the ground rather than a controlling force. And the engineering managers have all just been former engineers who decided they preferred doing this kind of facilitation work instead of writing code.

Maybe this isn't the norm?
This is true in the exact same sense as is saying that all animal species are social constructs with no basis in reality other than the social perceptions of the group delineating them. Which is to say, in not very useful sense at all.

> The only way would be to entirely control food production from the very start in an industrialised and verified way, no ?

I'm not sure whether you are aware that the way you described it, it actually is in reality. So the sarcastic approach is a little misplaced here.

There are literally institutions that random select tests of food products to ensure their quality. If it's off or outside law regulated guidelines, the manufacturer loses the license to sell it.

In the European Union all recipes have to be approved before they are allowed to go on the market. There are even a few prototype cities (e.g. Hassloch in Germany) to test products before they roll out officially. So it literally is an end-to-end, industrialized, testchain.

The difference here is: It's not the manufacturer that controls itself. It's an independent agency or research institute.

And that is literally what OP was complaining about.

Agile should include retrospectives, and retrospectives should allow your team to change anything within the process as you need.

In fact, all agile needs is good retrospectives, and all the rest you can decide there.

Yes, he's very outspoken on Twitter where he twists reality to suit his own worldview (which is almost invariably "Safari bad, put Chrome on iOS") and he completely ignores the realities that are:

- So many APIs he raves about are considered harmful by both Safari and Firefox: https://webapicontroversy.com/

- Chrome is blatantly ignoring all input and forces poorly specified internal Chrome APIs onto the world under the guise of "standards"

But sure. "He's outspoken on Twitter" should really absolve him and any criticism of what he writes is "inane".
Meh? I mean, some marketing would definitely fit the definition of hacking that is provided here. (Ask a random person in the street if they think the most "creative" profession is ad man or developer.)

The author confuses marketing messages with marketing, which is the act of creating those messages in the first place.

That marketing messages that are specific are more effective than generic ones is a decent rule of thumb, although by no means universal either.
Why is self hosting exactly? §
Self hosting is about freedom, you can choose what server you want to run, which version, which features and which configuration you want. If you self host at home, You can also pick the hardware to match your needs (more Ram ? More Disk? RAID?).

Self hosting is not a perfect solution, you have to buy the hardware, replace faulty components, do the system maintenance to keep the software part alive.
Let me preface that I love linux. I use it on 98% of my PCs. But Linux is not for everyone. Honestly it SHOULDN'T be. If you want to be free you have to work for it. You have to understand why your open source community app has less features than commercial apps. You have to weigh the costs versus the benefits. You have to be prepared to fix broken things, including submitting your own patches. Grandma doesn't need Linux. Get her a damn Chromebook.

No, I disagree. They're functioning like doctors. There is not, nor should be, a political side to science. Facts are facts, and numbers are numbers. And false cures give false hope to the afflicted -- it's no different than snake oil.

In fact their argument is that it's too early to know so going in front of congress and the media is irresponsible.

Hydroxychloroquine, too, showed promise in the early studies. When it became clear it wasn't efficacious, the media and politicians had already grabbed hold informing millions of americans that it was a cure when it in fact was not.

The EUA for remedesivir and EUA revocation of hydroxychloroquine are here. They seem to be self explanatory about why the FDA took the action they did.

Sometimes it is nice to collect postcards. It’s a nice way to collect artworks and to post them to a postcard gallery. It is important to collect postcards with artworks from different sources. If you collect artworks from different sources, then it can be a gallery of artwork.

You can collect postcards with the artwork from online applications. You can collect postcards with different artworks, but you have to choose your artworks from a certain source. This is a different approach. I am trying to collect artwork from different sources, such as different online applications. You can choose artworks from different sources. That’s why you have to take care of your artworks. If you collect artworks from one source, then you have to make the artworks you collect public.

I wonder how it is even possible in those 100MB disks.
Hmm. This seems quite dangerous.

In snow, if sliding starts due to braking, the best solution to regain control is to stop braking. Completely.

With manual transmission this is simple, deploy the clutch. With an classic automatic, no gas = mild drag due to engine.

But to add regen braking automatically, hmm. It means that in some circumstances, you have zero control, and the car is essentially actively working to mess up your day.

There are ways to detect slide, I wonder, does regen cease if slide is detected... just as with normal brakes and ABS studder (which doesn't reduce braking distance, but provides for steering when slide + braking)?
Right I agree this is deeply fucked and I think we’re saying basically the same thing about how problematic the primary schooling politics and funding setup is. We’ve seen the same.. atrocities. We just disagree that AA is effective at solving this deeply ingrained racist behavior. I’d rather see laws and policy that e.g. evenly distribute school funding to prevent racist neighborhood dynamics. We need to attack and expose this bullshit at its roots.
You are correct that AWS Config is limited in terms of the resources and services it covers. But it’s also a trustworthy first party service.

Do we get the source code for everything in your package?

Do we at least get object code that we can run behind our “firewall” that doesn’t reach out to your servers, and thus risk exposing sensitive information?

Or are you selling a third-party service that collects all the most sensitive information it can possibly collect about our services, and then stores all that collected information in an opaque database somewhere that we have no direct access to and no control of? What happens when there is a breach in your systems and all your records of all your customers are exposed?
That approach won’t work well if they are just text updates.

Presumably the original comment meant that you can't guarantee the original data is unreadable with any finite number of overwrites, not that you can always read the original data after overwriting. I'm not saying that's true, but it's a logical interpretation that doesn't imply infinite storage.
> Agile got widespread adoptions because of the micromanagement undertone of it, starting with the daily scrum.

I would put things differently: micromanagers leveraged the agile and scrum buzzwords to justify and convey an aura of legitimacy to micromanaging.

I mean, how many orgs forced daily meetings where workers are forced to enumerate what they did and delivered in a short time frame, but mysteriously left out the part where a feedback cycle exists to revise plans other than performance evaluation plans?

Hard disagree. By this logic we’d still be writing COBOL. Yes, switching tools has an inherent cost associated but, you must calculate what makes sense for your team. Not everything is relative, some tools are simply better than others.
> The alert system works by using your device’s accelerometer to detect the initial, nondestructive P-wave. Your phone then sends a city-level location, which does not include zip code or street address, to Google’s earthquake detection server. The reports get verified before a loud notification that includes a map, magnitude, and basic drop, cover, and hold reminders is sent. It hopefully comes a few seconds before the destructive S-wave arrives

So what is significant is that it does not rely on existing earthquake early warning detection system built by governments but instead of using the cellphone as sensors.
You should add an option to export that to rss and put the script up on GitHub. That sounds super useful.

My personal impression with archaeological sites around Istanbul is that architecture seems only cared for if it's from Osmanic heritage or connected to Islam. Anything that predates Islamic ruling is rather let to fall into disrepair.

its still just an assumption that pwa success is blocked behind some chicken and egg problem. i dont think you can say it is “definitely” something people (lots of them) want. as of right now it looks like the people who want it most are giant platforms like Google, Amazon and Facebook who want to build game platforms that circumvent in app purchases. thats a valid reason and if its meant to broaden it will. these companies are worth trillions after all

I have a homemade language that's not a lisp, but is lispy in some ways. I've only got to the point where I expand the code to an abstract syntax tree, and deciding how to go from there is the hard part for me right now. It's never crossed my mind to just compile it to valid python code. Thanks for the inspiration!
Author of the code here and yes, that's correct! Also, it is possible that rust compiler might be optimising this code, remove the random generation calls altogether. (I haven't gotten around to doing the analysis, yet)

With respect, a Systems Programmer is not how the OP described themselves.

If the company is expecting to get Systems Programmers when they’re posting a job opening for a DevOps role, then someone is going to get a very rude surprise.

If you want to give someone a take-home task that is appropriate for the role being advertised, that’s one thing. And you’re taking a risk that they won’t just farm out that work to someone else.

But giving someone a take-home task for a completely different type of role than the one you’re advertising for, that’s just begging for a disaster to occur.

I mean, the Pfizer/Moderna vaccines still have between 90% and, let's say, 60% efficacy against mild cases, and the long covid severity scales with "how mild" your case is going to be.

There is a likelihood that Covid gives you so much brain fog that you'll have trouble continuing your high-IQ work, and vaccines reduce that likelihood.

If, due to the vaccine, you get a mild case or a case without any symptoms, perhaps all that happens is that your spatial reasoning is less speedy. And, as you say, you have plenty of that to spare.

So, it seems to me you should have quite some interest in vaccine efficacy across the severity scale.

It's your choice though, of course.
The Generational Divide in Software Developers
Slackware is a complete OS complete with curated set of user land and desktop applications. Although I have a soft spot for Slackware, I’d say arch fills this niche more than Slack: You get the most minimal system as a starting point and build what complexity you need on top - and no more.

I mean, that’s actually a fair observation, at least on HN. A lot of people on HN do complain about the changes.

There’s a tradeoff between security and convenience. Making something more secure is, essentially, making it harder to use for undesired use cases. The side effect is inevitably that it also makes it harder to use for legitimate use cases.
I think that the 996 work culture will be the next domino to fall. Many ambitious Chinese "work" from 9am to 9pm, six days a week. It's "work" in the sense that 996 is well-padded with unproductive face time and phone time. Office buildings stay lit well into the night and young office workers barely have time to date let alone form families.

In the last two years, the popularity of foxi (buddha-like apathy) and more recently, tangping (lying flat and abandoning the rat race), show the degree of stress young people are under. Stressed out people are less likely to form families and have children. China needs more children.

Here's a video that discusses the rat race and potential effects: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDc8-lNSFR0

There is a kernel of truth in the post, but the mental rigidity makes it impossible to take seriously.

Sometimes you need to standardize on one tool, and sometimes you don't want to do a study on what the best tool is--you just use what you know.

That is of course a good idea that I fully support, but remodeling cities will take way too long to meet climate targets. Also, a rather large fraction of the kilometers driven don't happen in cities. Public transportation in rural areas is quite difficult to set up because of the low density.

Note that I'm not talking about industrialised production, but about people selling their fruits at the side of a road, who may not even be farmers but just have a large garden ; we had only 3/4 fruit trees when growing up but it'd often make enough to give kilograms of apricots & such can be given away or sold for a few euros at the local fair. I don't remember anyone getting UE approval to be able to do that, any more than a kid needs UE approval to sell lemonade.
Uber drivers in my experience have been very intelligent people.
The fundamental problem with Agile is the fundamental problem with all product development:

The customer doesn't know what they want

Agile assumes as a first principal that including the customer throughout the development process will align the building team and the customer to come to the same conclusion.

This is almost never actually true. Having built and managed a lot of products I can state fairly confidently that the amount of time the customer has, and clarity about the problem they want solved is orders of magnitude more ambiguous than is required to actually build and deliver something to their satisfaction.

In my opinion successful products, and I mean ones with significant flywheels with customers and viral growth and stickiness are with few exceptions - accidents. It was someone who had an interesting thought and a lot of people for whom the product was good enough for their desire that they often didn't even know they had

You can't write down how to do that, it's like asking a nobel prize winner how they came up with their discovery. It's not repeatable. Some people have better intuitions than others and these are the people who are repeatably successful with products. But it doesn't generalize.

That said, the fundamental problem isn't wrong in theory, it's just naiive in practice.
> I want to go even further than this. I want to say its bad engineering to even like a technology or tool.

This assertion is pure nonsense. To really believe in that, first you need to somehow believe that hard technical requirements like availability of technical features is something that does not exist.

Afterwards, it requires you to believe that different levels of proficiency with a tool has absolutely no impact on productivity.

I mean, what does the author think that "favourite" means in this context?

Even though it's important to review technical choices, let's not fool ourselves into believing that all tools are equivalent and that different levels of mastery and experience have zero impact on performance and turnaround time.

Sorry I meant entirely the same set of individuals. I have no doubt there’s overlap. In short I agree with you: fuck people who gerrymander school districts because they don’t want their kids to experience diversity. My point has more been that opposing college AA is not synonymous with opposing all instances of programs that aim to help the underprivileged. I just think by the time AA is relevant it is simply often too late.

My point about the parents sending their kids to magnet schools is that they’re kinda cancerous turds. They are actively resisting true diversity while at the same time claiming to be woke fucking anti racist saints. Fuck that attitude.

I knew what you meant. A better way for me to put it would have been: "I wasn't making a counter argument, just telling you my current understanding and the reasons for it." To me there's a big difference in attitude. I'm not sitting here coming up with a perfect counter-argument, both because I don't want to put that much effort in and because I don't think it's an effective way to learn.

I thought agile hedged against that by getting product in front of customers early - they may not know what they want but if you show them 100 things they don't want you'll probably be close
