Facebook rulez, until years ago, I discovered I cannot say what I want (respecting people, for sure): some words are not permitted in groups name, and even some posts can be flagged as "inappropriate" by some AI.

I understand why Facebook need to do it, but sometimes it limit my expressiveness (I am Italian, and my language has a very huge set of synonyms and nuances of terms).

So I have kept my Blog alive and kicking in the last 20 years and it is my place where:
- I can write what I want and I take my responsibilities
- NO one can ban me from by blog
- Users can comment and I decide the moderation rules. And yes I own my site comments.
- No advertising I do not want. My pages are super fast
- Nice printing capabilities
- I can link other blogs/article I like
- I store images on my own, to avoid to loose external image links.
- I get tracebacks in comments.

On the downside:
- Video bandwidth can be a pain if you do not want advertising on it
- I must pay for it (but for 5 bucks / month it is a good deal for the freedom to say what do you want).
- I got less traction in respect of Facebook.
Only works if you have multiple teams with similar specializations. Often even in quite reasonably sized companies you have many teams that are the only ones doing that thing in the organization and you need a team lead who knows the exact thing the team is doing, so you either promote from within the team or hire from outside (which has its own problem of communicating to the team that they have no possibilities for advancement unless they go to work for a competitor).
Because I feel the same way I make a blog post a month, but discoverability is a real problem for blogs. Google doesn't take kindly to them.

Are you saying that we shouldn’t control for a coordinated national change in murder rate when evaluating the impact a mayor’s specific policies have had on their city?
My experience is, never state your powers. People already know your reach, but sometimes, they don't. It happened to me in a multinational ecommerce giant where employees started to feel they were bosses. The relationship with the managers started to scalate badly, there was no respect at all. The feeling back then was "what, are you gonna fire me?" and so on. Projects went crazily bad and devs blamed management, when management was totally crippled. Instead joking or stating my power, I went to my boss and asked the head of the guys causing problems. My boss asked me if I could just let it pass, and I did it, 4 times. Until I said it was me or them. Then my boss asked me to do what i wanted. What I did, instead of firing them, I moved them out of the team to a newly created useless team. They were shocked, because I didn't fired them. They bragged about they now have their own special team, lmao, i remember how they've believe they gonna change the company, until 2 months of nothing todo from their side, no other teams wanted them, no other teams wanted even to share projects with them. They came back to my teams begging to join again, they will do everything is asked for, no more nagging, etc. I think it was better than fired them, to be honest.
I just started a new blog [1].

I can't explain why, but the whole thing is kind of terrifying. I don't want to become one of those blogs you find that have 300 articles since 2008. The kind of blogs only have 1 or 2 comments on each post, screaming into the void what's going on with their life.

Because of this fear, the only way I ever did write something was basically to force myself to have something posted by the end of the weekend. But now I have the same fear again, so I'll probably have to do the same thing.

Decentralization was of course relative.

It's completely incorrect to say there was a tripartite structure - the party was in practice and in theory above the two other branches. The party routinely dictated to the security apparatus and the military, purged them, and so on, while the other two had so little power they saw the need to attempt coups which never came close to success.

I’ve been flying all types of radio-controlled aircraft for decades. I’ve had two encounters with birds. In both cases it was while flying thermals with gliders. In both cases the birds went for the tail section.

The first was a hawk. I was going up a thermal on my own. The hawk came into the same thermal and decided it wanted to own it. It flew incredibly fast towards my plane and grabbed it from the latter quarter of the fuselage. This was a strong and fast kevlar/carbon fiber F5B competition class motorized glider, 2.4 meter wingspan.

The hawk could not destroy it but sure did with it as it wished for a few seconds. When it let go I went to full throttle and climbed straight up like a rocket (high power/weight ratio) to get away. After that I landed safely without damage.

The second case was a raven. Similar situation. It went for the tail and ripped it right off. All I could do was watch it crash.

They own the skies.

I used to hate canned tuna in the past but I love it now!! Your mechanism doesn't account for this!
a yellow light or a car in front is very well predictable, if you feel you should be slowing down and the car isn't, you have time for apply correction, car not slowing down is an implicit warning of autopilot malfunction you can act upon.

a emergency vehicle blocking a tiny fraction of the lane doesn't require as much slowing, you can just slightly move left of your lane to compensate. car not slowing down doesn't trigger the same "brain" warning, because you don't expect it to.

this is what sets these crashes aside from the other, you get no explicit and no implicit warning
What about building huge solar plants in Western Sahara and Morocco? The Moroccan Government seems pretty friendly and stable.

If we then configure all our electric cars to charge during the day, and discharge from 6pm onwards, we can address a lot of the evening peak.
I have been mentioning in interviews that I had to fire an employee. It was very hard for me to fire the person and I really do not wish to have to repeat that experience so I try to warn the candidates.

Backstory:

Our company is fully remote. One of the clause on the contract of each employee is no moonlighting. They are not allowed to work on anything else professionally. They can work on personal software project if they notify me in advance.
This is because in a fully remote companies there are not office hours and it's very hard to define what's work and what's not.

Employee Alice worked for us 3 months. She was not very responsive but her work was a 7/10.
One day I found Alice was actually part of an agency and she was actually a Project Manager delegating all her work to other people. I noticed this because she had a MacBook but screenshots of her work were on Windows.
When confronted she straight out denied the whole thing.
After finding many more evidence she finally admitted she had delegated work to some "friend".
I fired her with her pleading it was all a big misurderstanding.
It was terrible, I felt so bad because even though I had found a lot of physical proof of her deception she was still playing the card of "please no really it's a misunderstanding". I doubted myself a lot fearing I had indeed fired an innocent person just being paranoid.

Now when I hire new employees I underline the NO MOONLIGHT policy and tell them I had to fire an employee in the past. It was ugly and I wish to not have to redo that.

I'm a single founder software engineer growing a team and having to deal with management for the first time.
I'm unsure of most of my decisions. If you have some advice that you can give me in a kind fashion without making me feel even more inadequate that I already do it might help me become a better manager.

> They would have happily exported the nuclear subs

I find that surprising. As far as I know France has never exported its nuclear subs and I think they would be very reluctant to do a transfer of technology for nuclear propulsion. The contracts with both India and Brasil were for diesel propulsion.
Don't know why sibling is dead; perfectly good points about discoverability of podcasts. To which I reply: I have had success discovering podcasts when they had transcriptions on the page. Google for some words, hit upon page, say "I can't read all this now but hey there's a link to audio", download the entire series, transcode to 16kbps Opus using ffmpeg, put it on my phone, listen in the car.

(The two examples I have in mind are https://www.psymposia.com/podcasts/plusthree/ and https://www.organism.earth/library/document/conversations-on..., which would suggest that posting transcriptions with your audio is something that occurs to people after consuming a certain quantity of mushrooms, or maybe it's just that the stuff those people tend to say happens to match stuff I'm googling for. Something something "hierarchical power structures".)

Timeblocking can help. I think it also helps to make and sustain friends, which is a kind of "work" in its own right as you mature into adulthood. You begin to learn that lifelong relationships take effort and almost always meeting each other in person. For all but the very few, loneliness is very detrimental to your health and sense of well-being, and I don't think being online is a "cure" or even a very good facsimile.

Some people get far to into the idea that "being online" is their hobby, that the relationships they make online are as important as the relationships they make offline. And I would gently disagree in almost every case. The relationships we make online are often ephemeral, anonymous, and superficial. They have their time and place, but they don't replace relationships with real people you can see and interact with in person. They are not nearly as fulfilling. For people that game a lot, for instance, games often have online communities, but I've always found that online communities pale in comparison to in-person events or LANs. All attempts to recreate them online are but shadows of the real thing.

Once you start to see being online as just a minor attachment to your offline life, then being online simply stops having as much importance in your life.

The fact that OAuth isnt mentioned a single time in the article is glaring. You should at least have a paragraph like "why not just use OAuth?" where you answer that question. Otherwise it seems youre avoiding the question on purpose, as these two items are clearly in the same space.
A calorie is a measure of energy used, for example there is a direct conversion to kWh. If your body uses more energy than you eat, it must burn fat (weight loss). Our bodies aim to be efficient and won't expel energy, so if you eat more than you burn, you will gain weight. This is true regardless of macronutrient composition.

Calories are therefore at least a necessary consideration in diet and a healthy weight, but calorie consumption alone is by no means a sufficient measure of a healthy diet.
FWIW, that series of small separate requests, reviewed separately, is pretty much how code review works in Google. Each change is attached to the same tracking issue which is what tracks completion, rather than any single or group change being committed.

Yes, alone they don't provide actual value, but they are small (easy to review) and can be trivially / automatically rolled back (database migrations aside) and can be deployed (without being used) safely, and even when they are exercised, it may be via a switch, itself toggled with a pull request which itself can be rolled back in isolation.

Whatever you think is a small change, think even smaller. Think creating a class and stubbing out many of the methods with TODOs.

Delaying the merge until all commits required for the feature wouldn't work in a large monorepo - just keeping small commits up to date can be work when there's enough people working around the clock. There's no feasible way to sustain continuously rebasing in a feature branch model in a large monorepo.
Yeah, I also remember 2004.
That can be to make a company look good on paper when seeking some kind of investment round. "Sure, we have some big capital expenses this year, but our operating budget for the future is X% smaller"

I frequently see short-term decisions to get funding triumph over long-term planning when private investors are involved. And it might even be the right choice - grow and get all the funds, then clean up tech debt in future years. It can be frustrating, but is a valid business play.
Medium and Twitter siloed blogs into a 'recommended for you' type of delivery medium. Blogger was agnostic in that regard, it only showed your content, and the blogroll was set by the user.

If it hit Jupiter on the inner orbit side, then whatever struck the outer planet already missed us (if it was ever within our orbit to begin with). Since we can see the impact from Earth, it must have struck the inner orbit side.
And that's where context matters! Know when to and when to not joke is key. But the subject doesn't matter IMO. Also bullying 'jokingly' is not joking. It's bullying. But true jokes can be applied on every subject.
The article is very careful to say "E-Reader" every time like this is a generic solution, but the whole workflow depends on sending the articles to an email address associated with your e-reader, which is only natively supported on the Kindle. You can't do this natively on a Kobo, Nook, etc.

I do wish the article would be more upfront about that.
I had a discussion with some friends about how impressive it is that Putin can do so many outrageous things and the world doesn’t stop him. Clear election fraud, assassinating foreigners, invading Crimea, etc. there are very few other countries that get free passes like Putin does.
Thanks! Note that npx itself adds some startup time to the mix. It's usually faster when ran as a global command (which should be safe since nbb doesn't depend on any other node libraries). Notes on that here:

Religion is not just Vaticans and Osteen. It's also deeply personal often for the benefit of the wielder; a source of comfort in a path they've carved for themselves that has given them peace -

I had very good atheist friends; friends that I loved who were intelligent and kind but had no religious backgrounds and when they would ask to engage in religious discourse and the platform they preach doesn't make sense....it's just disheartening because this behavior is one of petulance and anger. Are you spreading a religion or a personality disorder

don't understand that when they are hating on God-based religions, they are actually practicing a form of deep adoration and commitment to God in their lives.

You have to find a positive to rally around and you have to be authentic about understanding that it's ok to see someone praying for something in their life and hope that they will be ok in your own secular way.

How many atheists do you know who would make fun of that person as soon as they were around the corner?

Not at all, I do not see how a school's interest in monitoring a measly $300 chromebook outweighs a child's privacy. Meanwhile sportscars are used to break the actuall law, not T&C, daily, and occasionally kills people, yet company's interest in monitoring their $150,000 vehicle doesn't seem to matter.

The only difference here is that kids are powerless, unlike customers renting sportscars for $$.

It was, in retrospect, a mistake not to embrace good enough and, instead, keep pushing towards the high end of the market when good enough was what most users needed.

Of course a Unix workstation was twice as fast as a PC and cost twice as much, but it becomes pointless when most of the time it’s bored to death waiting for me to move the mouse.
Indeed there are range restrictions with Starlink. What I did was order Starlink to the nearest post office to a place that has a unique intersection of lovely camping grounds that doesn't have internet access. The idea is to rotate between them. Use https://sebsebmc.github.io/starlink-coverage/index.html to calculate how big your cell is and then intersect with your camping guide :)
> There is not even technology that would scale up enough to store a country's power for weeks or at least a few days.

Don’t mistake a manufacturing limit for a tech scaling limit. While it may take decades to get there, batteries could do that; in the mean time, intercontinental HVDC connections could substitute for some of that storage (not all the storage all at once unless mining increases, but certainly plausible over the scale of a decade or so and we would need that timescale to build the renewables themselves anyway)[0], and the batteries are in addition to existing pumped hydro, and even in the current “low wind” scenario the UK is still getting 3.8 GW (~11%) from wind[1][2] rather than getting nothing.

I've seen a couple of mass layoffs. How much you see that coming can be a function of how close to the decision-making you are and how familiar you are with the process. As I've advanced, I've progressively seen it coming farther out. But the first one was totally out of the blue to me.

I think this is a misunderstanding of the use of the letters. Although there is definitely some truth to your statement, I don't think is as dark and wicked as it seems. This is a marketing technique to try and get customers to use their tax dispute service, not the communication technique to the government itself. The hypothetical worst case here is that people throw out handwritten mail because every company uses handwritten mail for spam, but, to be fair, if you've gotten a piece of handwritten mail in the last year you're in the minority.
