Thank you for the comment!
Absolutely agree, that is a natural (even though I believe not mandatory) phase of the evolution of a startup/lean company into a scaled organisation.
I am not against processes, people need a certain guide over how to handle situations, and I absolutely understand why people would leave, and they should! Because if they don't want to work in a certain way, simply the company is not providing a good environment for them to grow.
The negativity part is intrinsic to the idea that you become 1) a motivator for your team 2) the operational arm of leadership. Your are not supposed to say "we should not do this" because this is creating an issue to the org that is in hyper growth and cannot be focused in changing processes or following everyone's opinion, but should be focused in growth and whatever strategic objective they want to achieve.

Another issue is that normally, in those hyper growth phases, companies hire people that had similar previous experience and normally they all see this type of control as necessary to grow. They start looking for predictability (so you start seeing year long roadmaps, change request processes, waterfall processes, precise long term estimations etc) and uniformity, because if your company is growing by the hundreds they don't know how to control that without normalising and unifying the way people work.
Normally this type of leadership does not work in a fail safe environment, are not used to give space for people to try and do experiments and is very focused in making things look good to upper management.

As an example, one of my directors once told us managers that every team had to have the same shape and the same distribution of seniority, completely ignoring the different services each team owned and seniority required by those services. I still don't know what problem he was trying to fix, or if this would have fixed any problem at all. We gave feedback, and still had to do the job and explain to the team members why this was good for the tribe.
Thanks for being a voice of reason on this. The world is too focused on scaremongering these days.
I've found that not having LinkedIn greatly reduces recruiter spam.
Energia, the booster of Buran, was part of the Soviet version of star wars; they tried to put up Poljus - an 80 ton space station with a 1 MW laser designed to down incoming targets. And that was after Gorby has pledged not to militarize space.

But yes, the USSR almost outdid the USA on star wars, if it weren't for some software error.

How to make up to $43.742 per week working at the comfort of your home
Annoyingly this article does not link to the FT story, which, while the FT has an annoying paywall, did break the story and plenty of people can access the content. It's "EU set to launch formal probe into Nvidia’s $54bn takeover of Arm", at:

But a meta-smart engineer that wants to maximise real world impact through a software project would realise that not all ‘smart’ people agree about what smart ‘IS’.

So for engineering efforts that require large amounts of people to contribute, a more restrictive, less flexible language can yield better overall productivity by expanding the pool of potential contributors and reducing friction arising from pointless differences and ‘smart’ programming (like macros).

In other words, removing ‘smart’ programming features like macros probably turns out to be (weirdly) smart in the real world.

But - I'm no "Sovietologist", so do enlighten me if I'm wrong about this!

and though it too was stratified (to bureaucrats with country Dacha's etc.)

It wasn't so stratified to mention it explicitly. Everyone had more or less the same lifestyle. And many had Dacha's, not just bureaucrats. Also, if you'd seen those dachas...

E.g. four years ago I visited Stalin's dacha on the lake Ritsa. I'd say that average house of the current Russian middle class is much bigger and more luxurious than Stalin's dacha. And he was the leader of the USSR.
> one needs to run commands as root (sudo) for common administrative tasks like mounting a disk

I would think if you don't do this, an attacker who is able to execute code but is non-root yet could easily elevate permissions by shadowing legitimate pathes and trick root into executing untrusted code.

I'm not a security engineer and just find it interesting, so if my thinking is off, please correct me.
I’ve seen it done the other way around - print out a base layer, and then stack with thin layers of foam board following the countour lines - I can’t remember where I saw it, I think maybe a friend’s hobby project - but they’d done this with an ordnance survey map (they’d actually glued a whole map to foam and had then cut out along the contours), and it looked amazingly cool.

I also recall being at a RAF base in the late 90’s and being amazed by a tool they had in their map and chart division - little blow-moulder that would make a sheet of relief terrain from a DEM - as I guess that was easier at the time than getting pilots to look at digital models.
TLA+, AWK, jq are also interesting choices.
From what I’ve seen, Zig has no built-in polymorphism features (no vtables/interfaces/traits), which is _pretty_ weird for a modern language in a good way.

Nuclear is expensive largely due how it's financed and because investors expect their investments profitable sooner rather that later (see LCOE). So it's mostly the cost of capital. When you account for for 60-80 (or 100) year lifespan nuclear power is actually quite cheap. So maybe the solution is using retirement funds towards funding nuclear power, expecting low capital but huge environmental gains?
I'd be keen to try to implement this to make a new 'egg' geometry generator in Houdini. Has anyone read the paper and understood it enough to implement the new formula?
Yeah, me too. They published quite a lot of papers using it [0]. The datalog integration is pretty nice too, haven't gotten to learning Prolog yet, but seeing how concise a sudoku solver can be implemented in it was an experience.

(edit) you can import Java, Kotlin and Scala in it too, those are automatically Impure. Would enable purely functional architecture [1] and falling into the "Pit of success" [2].

It is only a location indicator (which is of course completely useless on infinite scroll pages).
According to article, all performance tests, and claims, seem to come from one Chinese reviewer.

One person.

If so, this is highly irresponsible. The language (likely, seems to, may be) in the article only highlights this.

There seems to be no attempt to contact Samsung either.

Really?!?

Edit: The cynic in me, wonders of this single review was paid for, to make WD look "less bad".

A review / story with no proof, only one person reporting it, no attempt to contact samsung, and I see many here assume it is 100% verified as true.

Sure takes the heat off of wd a bit...

Paul Graham essays decline in value exponentially with the number of times he mentions Lisp in them. He had one that went below 2^-20.
Why Afghanistan Always Defeats the West – William Dalrymple
I'm really appalled by what German lobbying for gas and renewables at the cost of nuclear is doing to climate. I get that it's profitable for them to be a hub for Russian gas in Europe but at the same time they should be aware that natural disasters (see recent floods there) are quite expensive as well.
For 'pg it's just an excuse to talk about Lisp.
Yeah, this data simply doesn't exist and trying to judge languages by their community will often leave you with variable perceptions, depending on many factors.

If in the UK (and probably most EU countries depending on what counts as business communication locally) you can at least cause them stress for their flouting of the law with minimal effort:

Make an Information Request asking how they got your personal information (email + job details) and under what legal basis they collected it.

When they inevitably reply with either LinkedIn, your work website, or some data broker make a complaint that:

1. They did not get consent from you

2. They did not inform you of the collection of your data without consent in a timely manner (through purchasing or direct collection). [Right to be informed]

3. That they are in breach of the "lawfulness" requirement of GDPR as they collected your personal information in breach of the terms/conditions of the source website (LinkedIn does not allow scraping).

When they deny all this and make some excuse about public information (which doesn't really exist), make a complaint to your local information commissioner.

If they gave a data broker, repeat the process again with them. They will remove you and pass this notification down to any other customers.

Within 6/12 months you'll be out of all the marketing lists.
That is just because it is new. If it survives it will end up with everything.
Why do you think Paul Graham essays decline in value exponentially with the number of times he mentions Lisp in them?
I just mark them as spam and unsubscribe when they add my work email to a random subscription list I haven't been asked to.

The weird thing is that inside the EU, supposedly GDPR protects against being automatically enlisted to email subscriptions or receiving repeated emails about the same topic without your authorization (and expires every 3 years).
It‘s great. Also, if you take the piss out of them by asking stupid questions such as if the entire company can address you as Herr Frankfurt and speak to you only in Russian when it‘s a job in London they start removing you from lists. I went from 3-4 per day to 1-2 per week using this approach. It‘s also fun.
Go is one of my favorite languages exactly for the reason you describe - it focuses on getting things done and it scales to collaborating with many people.

At the same time I enjoy tinkering with different new languages every once in a while and I think that's what the article talks about. There's a place for experimenting and trying out new things, that doesn't mean that you need to rewrite everything in Haskell.
So better get started immediately then..!

I mean, your comment might be correct but I cannot read it except in a defeatist way.

Four Most Romantic Retirement in Europe

No you won't. You may think that right now, but when the day comes the majority of your group will be too lazy to switch and you'll be stuck. Which is exactly discords plan.
Short tangencial bit of history:

A Brazilian called Paulo Freire came up with a method which consists of coming up with a short list of words related to the pupils' day-to-day. These words have to cover all the phonemes in Portuguese and the pupils would discuss them.

He managed to teach adults to read very quickly. But, as talking about your reality was integral to the method, he got into trouble with the then military regime.

They threw him into a military jail.

One fine day an officer asked for his help because many of the recruits couldn't read.

But that was precisely why he had been thrown into jail!
If you use Permaculture Principles you will exponentially grown biomass and animals including birds which visit your plot daily.

I don't have a bird feeder and yet a huge variety of birds feed on my garden.

It's just a matter of selectively sparing some plants over others.

For example many small birds will eat kale and brasica seeds which are tiny and black like a poppy and each plant produces a huge abundance.

Another favorite I noticed among the small birds is wild Lambs Quarter seeds, same thing, thousands of small seed per plant.

And if you really can't help yourself, you could learn about animal husbandry and raise chickens for eggs, they love to have about 20% of their diet as scratch grains. I like to ferment and sprout the dried grains to make it easier for my hens digestion. Did you know chickens are omnivores and eat nearly all the same foods as humans? No wonder we keep them around, they literally eat all the left overs!

Smart here is used as an indicator of a language with unique powers. So it's more about what the engineer can do to expand his own mind, to get new perspectives.
If we're saying "Pfffff" at things, let's take a moment to appreciate that by the magic of not actually storing them Rust gets to store all of nothing in no space.

Rust's arrays of something can only have up to std::isize::MAX elements. But by choosing to store nothing instead of something, we can go larger to std::usize::MAX with e.g. [(); std::usize::MAX] and that'll actually work, at runtime, even on a modest computer since you don't need space for std::usize::MAX of anything.

If usize::MAX of a zero size type isn't enough for you, might I interest you in an Iterator that contains not merely usize::MAX but infinity of any Default type of your choosing? And if you don't need that many, you can always just take() fewer of them no charge.
USSR back then and all the currently "democratic" societies now are more than happy to support projects that show everyone how much better they are than the "other guys" but when it comes to actually improving the life of non-elite, all the elite-led societies (all of the current and past societies) seem to fail for some reason. I wonder why.
Zig uses explicit allocations everywhere (if you want to allocate something you need a reference to an allocator) which is pretty unique even for low-level languages (e.g. C, Rust)

I don’t see why not. Some here on HN are probably getting that much as a salary :-). patio11 has some blog posts on getting up to a $50k a week consulting rate that would see you hit the target in the first 20 weeks of the year. If it has to be ARR I can imagine courses can make this much (like the top React courses) which require little maintenance I.e. can be managed by one person maybe outsourcing some graphic design and video work but not taking on employees.

Who is this "someone" you're talking about, Mother Gaia? Reframing justice from a humancentric perspective to one more in line with the natural state is something that would immediately yield very entertaining results, as the people most likely to propose it would most deeply regret having gotten their way.
I think the difference though is that as a user, you cannot do that easily. Whereas a bot can automate this across many channels and servers (especially as this restriction only applies to bots in 100+ servers).

User bots I think is a different, equally valid problem (if not more problematic) that's probably harder to solve. "Rogue bots" look just like normal bots that a server admin would voluntarily install without knowing what it's dong behind the scenes. Bot users are actively malicious and breaking the ToS, and can't reach the same scale as bots (because all server admin cannot just add one to their server).

I think they're both problems, but represent different points on the threat matrix. It's kind of like saying "iPhone shouldn't restrict access to the camera roll for App Store apps when viruses can just bypass and get them anyway".

Let me take a look and double check that. It might have been a prior library, or maybe I did modify big-associative. I'll investigate. Be back here later

I often see people giving bread or other completely inappropriate food to birds in parcs or horses, chickens in small farms or ducks, swans, gallinules, fishes in estuaries

I think we can also raise the problem in people diet as well, it's quite related. Our ideal food is plant-based, vegetables, fruits, grains, seeds, leaves, bulbs (eating raw garlic is incredible), that's what we're designed for chewing and digesting since million years

edit: I can understand my comment is unpopular since I'm saying most people diet is inappropriate as well, but instead of rage downvoting, try to phrase why you disagree
Familia Toledo: The most inexpensive computer USD $99.00

Ideally with Pinewood Derby cars, you want to place the weight up as high as possible (in the rear) to convert potential energy into kenetic energy.

Tungsten weights are smaller, so the center of gravity can be slightly higher if you elevate the weights.

The product page says "Simply position the weights on your pinewood derby car and super glue them in place."

So if you're just glueing them to a standard model without elevating the tungsten weights somehow, they would actually be less effective than a less dense material, because the center of gravity would be lower.

If you did elevate the tungsten weights, whatever height that would match the top height with standard weights, the extra amount of energy would most likely be negligeable, and possibly lost due to variations in the track. Over a hundred races it would probably come out ahead slightly more ahead, but Pinewood Derby races are single elimination.

If one was sparing zero expense, using wind modeling software, etc for their Pinewood Derby, then yes, tungsten weights would be the way to go.

(I need to learn how to use wind modeling software now.)
i initially hated emacs' non-CUA bindings. now my thoughts are opposite and because i spend so much time in emacs, when I need to go to CUA it's quite annoying. i agree that CUA should be made default, but with immediate option on start-up to use original emacs bindings. i think it will put off far fewer people
> 99.5% of programming consists of gluing together calls to library functions.

First, my own career was not as pathologically skewed as this. I did mostly glued together calls to library functions, but I have done a fair share of algorithmic work, such as parsing and image processing. (And cryptography, though that was mostly done on my free time so I’m not sure that counts). Maybe web dev is like that, but I didn’t do web dev.

Second, this is a huge problem. This means that very few of us actually know how to program. And the problem feeds on itself: if one doesn’t know how to program, it will be easier, more tempting, to take on some significant dependency instead of just implementing the part you need, while tailoring it to your use case. Eventually knowledge is lost.
