We are a mid-size company and we have a strong architecture team. We generally are advisors rather than deciders, but we can raise issues to senior management quickly if we see decisions that are directly against stated goals of the technology group.

We have a lot of business units and each unit is served by a team or teams of engineers. I can't imagine how we can have a cohesive strategy and execute it without architects.

If your company doesn't have that complexity, I don't see why you would need architects.

You'll never see a purely Agile or Lean product from an Enterprise, because those don't have a clearly defined set of expenses, profits, and timelines.

One terrible thing about Enterprises is the way their finance team leads product decisions. In order to maximize their profit, they announce a product will be ready by X date, and estimate the cost leading up to it. If you don't hit those numbers, it affects a lot of other numbers, especially if you're publicly traded. And that's before the wild promises Sales makes. They are preternaturally addicted to arbitrary deliverables.

Essentially, their products are projects, and the customers are incidental to the whole thing. There is no estimate for customer happiness in the business case for a new product team. If you build it on time and under budget, everything else (getting a customer to use it and like it) is taken for granted.
I keep hearing this meme but think it's either overblown, or used as an excuse to avoid the hobby just because they are outside of the typical ham radio demographic.

I think the allure is escapism: life is boring and unfulfilling for many people, so they are attracted to the notion that some spectacular event is going to suddenly upend their lives and make life more interesting.

One of the other patterns I see is justification of apathy. People rationalize lack of desire to work or apply themselves with the justification that the world is going to end relatively soon, so why bother.
There are certain extremely predictable problems that occur when you allow people to use their own judgement to decide whether or not they need to follow rules/laws/etc., and I for one do not enjoy the outcomes of those problems.

That’s a $5 AliExpress drone with some felt attached to it. Good luck steering that in windy outdoors to pollinate hundreds of flowers. Flight time of 5 minutes. One blade of grass in the rotors and it’s done. The video in the article shows it essentially just bumping into the flowers. Saving the bees will be a lot easier than getting this to work. So if this is all we got, let’s just forget about the robotic bee. Let’s just really save the real ones.

Yea. Also if you want to look at GDP - US is #1. And on a per-capita basis we're just below Norway and ahead of countries like Denmark and the UK.

Getting into master's league on StarCraft is only impressive to people who play StarCraft. Being able to play beautiful songs on the piano is impressive to everyone.

You're comparing achieving a goal to working towards it. It will take roughly three to four years to reach master's league on StarCraft for even talented people. Meanwhile, almost everyone can play the piano or the guitar well enough to impress laypeople after 2 years of lesser daily effort.

Do it! I used "Ham Radio Prep"(google, it's the first result). It was really informative for me. They have a linear lesson plan with videos/tests to help you learn what you need, and then retain that information. After it was done, I felt very prepared for the exam, and the actual exam went very smoothly. As a side effect, I learned a lot about RF that I was ignorant of in the past, and thoroughly enjoyed the entire process. Can't recommend getting into amateur radio enough, it was one of those moments where I realized there was a giant gap in my general how-radio-works knowledge.
Good targeting is acquiring customers at a profitable cost.

Bad targeting is acquiring customers at an unprofitable cost.

The difference can be 5% conversion for a segement of prospects vs. 10% for another.

In both instances the majority of prospects are not interested. Or more charitable, not interested right now.

Expectations for perfect ads and targeting is unreasonable.

How would you codify that into law?
Not the OP but happy to help!

Since you already like Bach, start by exploring his work!

Let's start with the Goldberg Variations, which are 30 variations on a theme set for the keyboard. Glenn Gould's 1955 recording is perhaps the best known recording of this work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwas_7H5KUs

I also greatly enjoy Andras Schiff's interpretations of Bach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbOwhF1hFcg

For opera, I suggest starting with the Magic Flute by Mozart. There are so many good recording to choose from but why not watch the thing? It's meant to be a visual/audio format, after all! I suggest this recording of the Metropolitan Opera - it's what got me hooked on operas many years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjZfHFPIk7g

If you like Maria Callas, you'll love Italian operas. Why not start with the classic, La Traviata? I can't find any of Callas's performances online (aside from clips), but you may like this performance with Anna Netrebko: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYGiRbDHr7k

Finally, a note on where/how to listen to classical music. I find Youtube to be an incredible tool for listening and for discovery. It's not necessary to dig back to vinyl or 8-track to listen to great performances - they've been remastered for CDs and lossless media.

But ultimately you want to listen to it in person. I'll never forget seeing my first opera in person (The Flying Dutchman). Or the time I scored orchestra seats for Sibelius's 4th symphony. Until the performances return, you might want to buy a ticket to an online performance on DG Premium, which is Deutsche Grammophon's streaming service: https://www.dg-premium.com/

Good luck and good listening!

EDIT: Alas, the Magic Flute performance I linked to doesn't have subtitles! Boo! Here's one that does, though it's not the classic Met production: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPxrbeR5ZyE
That might be a fair criticism of a reading of this as "you should speculate in NFTs".

Less so if you follow the conclusion that recent sales of NFTs are the latest in a long line of mass adoption/mainstreaming of Blockchain tech and investments. From that perspective, it's more comparable to telling lifelong cash holders people to begin "investing" - there's certainly survivorship bias if you're looking at specific stocks/markets, but the thing to "buy into" is the ecosystem.

It does matter: you can no longer sue for copyright violation, you can only sue for contract violation.

If you violate a contract, the court will order compensation calculated to "make you whole" again - to restore things to how they would have been before the contract was executed

The author seems to think there may be some issue for a writer of free software to demonstrate that he had been harmed by the violation; which wouldn't be an issue in a copyright suit. Well, at least here, copyright violation carries statutory damages.

IANAL.

The US, at this point, only has a slim majority of residents vaccinated - and all the evidence I've seen points to the fact that working age folks (those more likely to have a wide number of contacts in a day and those most likely to be doing the traveling) have mostly voluntarily eschewed the vaccine.

As a Canadian - we had trouble getting access to the vaccine for a long time - but we're closing in on 75% of the population vaccinated with vaccination rates only slightly beginning to taper off.

Yeah and as a result my bidding is still for shit. I always chalked it up to half the class sharing/standing-around one deck so we had to keep swapping out who was playing any given hand.

I (as a white American) didn't know about this history, and have played Spades as a family game for as long as I can remember.

Some interesting variations - we usually played with no Jokers, no bag, but with a negative score rule when not meeting bid. Also, a card selection mechanic if 2 players are playing - the players would alternating picking cards from from the deck, decide whether they wanted it, then keep it and discard the next card, or discard and have to keep the next card. This prevents knowing exactly what the other player has in the 2 player scenario.
My honest opinion, at this stage in my career I don't have any patience at all for explaining technical concepts. Its almost never a one off, once you have to hold someones hand, you always do. And if you don't, they are creating technical debt.

> 19.5 years of programming, but mostly web programming for the last ~12. I want to move away from that, I am sick of it already. There's always something more to learn and even though I don't mind at all -- it keeps my mind sharp which is something I want to keep all the way to my death! -- the churn of knowledge in there is exhausting.

The churn of knowledge can be limited by choosing technologies that don't require constant adaptation. (Time to offend the .NET fanboys): If you pick .NET, there isn't that much difference between .NET Framework 4.5 (from 2012) and the latest version of core. The job still gets done, just with a different set of packages. If you don't have a use for async/await or the TPL, you can go as far back as 3.5 (from 2007).

> I am not from USA and have no degree. I am 41 y/o and I'm a self-taught programmer ever since 12 y/o. Not sure how well that flies on interviews; I feel the US companies put a lot of value on degrees?

Some do, but with 19.5 years of experience, this wouldn't be much of an impediment for you in the United States. All of my opinions apply only to the United States. I haven't worked in other countries and can't comment on them.

> They'll require a ton of time and attention every day.

IMO, a "code janitor" doesn't just sit around all day reading HN. When I use those words, I mean the type of job where you're expected to fix bugs and implement features and not much else. Even if there is talk of higher expectations, there are never any consequences for just going with the flow. You'll rarely/never be asked to work overtime or learn on your own time. You'll only pay lip service to clean code, clean architecture, and long-term thinking. You'll still be expected to show up by 9, hang around until 4, and not screw off the whole time. The job is still a job; it just doesn't strain your brain.

> I'd agree but I've neglected networking -- both physical and virtual -- for most of my career and now at 41 y/o I started to feel the negative effects of that. :|

Headhunters are the antidote to this. When a recruiter wants to connect on LinkedIn and have a short phone conversation about an exciting new position, you always say yes. And if they're not sending connection requests to you, then you send the request to them.

Hey, I'm the developer for nvui. I definitely messed up a bit putting the GIFs in the repo, I noticed it when the actions' build size increased by about 40MB (the display assets get removed now in the build). I don't know if there's a way to remove them now without removing a lot of the git history.

Also about the dithering, I'm aware that the GIFs look horrible, but that was not how they looked when I recorded them, I don't know if it was Github's compression but they look a lot worse when uploaded.

Another recent example of how "bad photography" inspired "good photos" is Juergen Teller's shoot with W magazine. https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/best-performances-portfoli...

The comment I'm relying to is pretty grayed out at the time of me making this comment but is this really that off?

I know a number of folks who work either as developers or on an IT team for a publicly traded company. 300k+ is a stretch but a lot of them pull an extra 30-80k / year more than working at a non-publicly traded company simply because of the stock options they get every year as part of their compensation.

Having publicly traded stock is nice because once you've gotten past the vesting period you can hang onto them for >= 1 year and sell them on demand for 15% long term capital gains tax instead of the usual 35%+ you would have to pay on income tax. Getting an extra 25k to 68k extra post-tax income every year on top of an average dev salary is a big deal.

What standard of responsibility for safety and well being are we putting on the person who goes outside their house?

I’m for low speeds and all but it has to come with a sense of rationale. And this argument can be argued for irrational limits.

We in India have been facing a similar problem for a long time. Here, for TV satellite dishes, there are monkeys who want to jump on them, use it as a spot to jump to another spot, rotate it just for the sake of it- you get the idea.

This problem is not very hard to solve. And it is very cheap to do so. Here are some solutions that I have seen IRL:

* Use barbed wire and encircle the whole dish antenna.

* Use a cage- metallic or plastic made, and cover the whole antenna with it. Make it dense enough so that pigeons cannot get through.

* Use nets- plain fishing nets and use it to protect it from pigeons.
That's an interesting idea. If I have kids maybe I should tell them "you can play any game you can run on Linux. Here's an Ubuntu CD, helpdesk is at google.com. If you get really stuck tell me what you've tried so far and I'll give you some suggestions on what to ask Google. Oh, by the way, if you'd like to write your own games, I'll be happy to help you."

> In his book, The Longest Day, Cornelius Ryan reported that the Germans knew the location, the approximate dates

A lot of the German high command was convinced that the landings would be at the Pas de Calais (the shortest crossing). The Allies did a lot to support this view, including using Gen Patton as the commander of the fake army that would conduct this crossing. Even after the Normandy landings, the Germans were very reluctant to commit the forces that were ready for the 'fake' invasion (which of course never happened).

Honestly, for city centers, I'm pretty okay with this.

Highways are for fast traffic (and in many cases, imo, should have higher speed limits here in the US); but cities should be way slower.

Americans seem to like high (and still violated) speeds in cities and slow (legal but always violated) speeds on highways.
> It's more of a "Screw you, we make the rules.

That is sooo true. They give themselves exemptions on so many of their own laws and rules.

Just as an example, junior med students working all mornings in public hospitals are paid below both minimum wage and minimum internship compensation.

In some hospitals, students realised they were paid less than the bonus security guards had for having a guard dog.

They also run residents (7th+ years medical student) on schedules that violate both minimum recovery time and maximum weekly working hours. But they have their own special rule too.

And that’s just the public health sector.

It’s just so wonderful. I too wish I could make the rules for everyone.
Others have recommended Mozart's Requiem if you like music with singing. If you haven't heard Robert Levin's completion, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=457pvjOo9Hw, I think it takes the cake.

For a neophyte, I think it's good to start with the war horses, for which there are lots of high-quality modern recordings.

- Bach Brandenberg concerti (I like the Netherlands Bach Society, they have tons of great Bach recordings on Youtube. If you're into Bach, highly recommend you check them out.)

- Goldberg variations (I like Glen Gould's later recording, but Kimiko Ishizaka is also a great libre recording, and Netherlands Bach Society has a great recording on harpsichord)

- Mozart Symphony 40

- Mozart piano, violin sonatas

- Beethoven Symphonies 3,5,9 (I really like https://www.youtube.com/user/hrSinfonieorchester)

- Chopin waltzes, etudes, nocturnes

- Rach piano concerto 2, Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini

- Sibelius violin concerto (I like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0w0t4Qn6LY)

- Bruch violin concerto

Personally I think watching videos helps bring the music alive in a way that listening to recordings doesn't. And maybe it's heresy to some, but I think modern recordings are, in general, a lot more pleasant to listen to.

HTH!
