> Don't be "pro-active" be "re-active" - is my way of putting it.

As much as I recognize this can be good advice, this comment makes me sad.

It's like "start underperforming" is the answer given to bad management problems.

Which I agree actually makes sense in a lot of companies (if pro-active efforts are not already being recognized, then it's hard to change the culture).

I also think that a lot of comments here are directed toward financial success, but many people are actually looking for meaningful ways to contribute. People for which the "re-active" approach might not be a solution.

What would be the solution for those people? How unlikely is it to actually switch to a company which recognizes employees willing to be more involved?

I honestly think Brexit was only a very small part of this. It's probably also a combination of IR35 making the entire endeavour not worthwhile for UK AND European workers and the government not having enough HGV tests available to bring newly qualified drivers into the workforce. It's a combination of a lot of different things.

Actually, you can do logic in linear (matrix) operations. This is what quantum computers do. Eg, if you look at the toffoli gate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toffoli_gate it's a universal logic function (any logic function can be constructed using it) but in its form as a permutation matrix, it's a linear matrix operation.

The catch is that its input is in the form of a vector having 1 entry for each possible value of the input in actual bits, which is an exponential increase in space. But, it is an existence proof that in some sense, you can do logic with linear functions, as long as you don't mind some kind of weird representation of your inputs and outputs.

What I don't know is, whether you can use linear operations for logic with a smaller than exponential space increase.
I just don't understand people that insist on bringing their emotional baggage into absolutely everything.

It seems clear you must not believe social media is as harmful to kids as the commenter you’re responding to does. If so, disallowing it (even when the kid desperately wants it) wouldn’t seem excessive.

By analogy I think it’s fairly obvious as a parent you’re right to withhold bottles of vodka from your kids even when they separately want to down them “and all of their friends are doing it”.
Learning logical fallacies could be a good place to start. Thinking about why fallacies are fallacious generally helps strengthen your ability to weed out unsupported conclusions and reshapes how you both assess ideas and present them.

This issue with this is that contemporary American parents are already spending more time with kids then used to be norm. Compared to past, even relaxed parents are helicopter parents. Maybe the expectation that parents will be constantly there, hovering over the young teenagers itself, micromanaging every aspect of their lifes on itself is unhealthy on itself.
Well I don't know then. If you've got a better name for a type that you cannot express in the domain language but can be tracked by the compiler that'll be understandable in a public blog post then I'll use it?
Not suggesting that there are not other factors (Brexit, Covid etc) but the media have to shoulder the "panic" element of this.

E.g. stop publishing photos of queueing cars and cordoned off pumps and report purely on the statistics of the matter. Too many media outlets are entirely hell bent on getting clicks without a care for the furore they induce in the general public as a result.

Social media does of course amplify the messages and images the media put out, so they compound the issue.

My theory is that in tech companies top management usually understands how tech development works and have respect for their workers.

At my company top management often comes from a sales or medical background and you can clearly see that in how they treat sales people and medical people. They get promoted more and receive way more attention from management because they understand each other.

IT and software are a big, scary mystery to management so they are prone to take advice from snake oil salespeople, consultants, or middle managers who tell them what they want to hear.

I think in general I think you are better off in companies where the output of your work is the product and top management understands and respects your work. Better to be viewed as someone who contributes to the profits of the company and not just as a cost center.

This sounds like another data point of many in this thread that point towards DDD as a philosophy working very well, while enforcing technical techniques advocated for in the book being hit-or-miss.

This makes intuitive sense to me: it’s much easier to define a principle that applies in many situations but much harder to define concrete technical implementations that do.

In your situation it sounds like the multiplier you applied was in pushing your team towards a rich domain. That’s a much more sensible approach than, say, using CQRS everywhere.
Does it? The US population is ~2.5x Japan's. 25x2.5 = 62.5

No estimates has the highest potential for improvement. Estimates are often wrong. In many organizations they are reliably wrong. Without spending time on estimates and wondering how to make them accurate, you can:

* Make risk assessments: Which tasks are most likely to cause a schedule problem or where an implementation approach could fail.

* Spend more time on retrospectives. Retrospectives are more valuable than estimates because the data is accurate.
It may seem like common sense, but I have worked with many people who don't understand the importance of the actual software reflecting the domain that is being served. It's funny that DDD is criticized for being "too technical" when the whole point of it is that technical concerns must always serve the domain / customers, and that technology merely enables that.

And, conversely, I have seen many people get extremely excited about solving technical problems that aren't related to the underlying business in any way. That is why the book needed to be written - people are more concerned with the newest database or frontend framework, but have lost sight of the purpose of software: to provide value to people.

So, sure, there are DDD consultants and trainers. They're going to capitalize off of the idea like vultures, as is done with all ideas and movements. But, the core beliefs of DDD seem like a good idea to me.
Other researchers have concluded that the number of strident conservatives in the U.S. far exceeds the number of strident progressives and that American conservatives express more authoritarian attitudes than their counterparts in Britain, Australia, or Canada.

At least in the context of the U.S., progressivism is small enough and has little enough political power that it can be overlooked, so any subsets of this group are easily overlooked as well. On the flip side, conservative authoritarians have reached the highest political offices, so that is not only hard to overlook but also quite easy to notice.

That there's a lot we don't know. That even things with substantial evidence can be considered theories and not laws.

That we should try to attack our own hypotheses to make sure they do not contain flaws. That attempting to disprove our position can potentially produce the strongest support of it.

" I realized that it all comes down to "metrics" - end of every sprint, my manager has to present it to his bosses". I wonder how widespread this is.. Certainly that's exactly what I experienced at a previous workplace, and worse than that, people's performance was judged on whether they'd done exactly the "right" stories in a 2 week sprint. Rather than thinking about developing software, people were working out how to game the system to ensure their metrics were good. I cannot see how this can have done the employer any good. I've now moved jobs, to a place that's far more Kanban, and if mid-story we encounter bugs that need fixing, or opportunities to improve something, or something else useful that piques our fancy, then as long as the whole team agree and our overarching goals are being worked toward , we can work naturally, rather than rigidly.

Yes and no. While I bear zero warm feelings for the previous regime, it is true that in 90s we had critical mass of programmers to start off SOftware development industry, which in turn accelerated and shaped out as what we see now. It’s not only the salaries, though, many people earn here more than they could in EU and even US. It’s the expertise. And forget about the idea of “bubbles “, that’s what people in Bulgaria call when they feel envy of someone. IT is very competitive industry and no one would pay more than what it’s deserved.
The terms "choose to" and "peak time" would imply that those are the most favored times, but the very concept of jobs requires that people wake up at those times whether they want to or not.

> The co2 balance of building nuclear power plants will only amortize when we already hit 1,5°C warming and it is questionable if it helps at all considering the unknowns about operating periods and other influences.

This is why it’s sad to decommission existing plants, but I don’t think there’s any legitimate question as to whether nuclear is harmful. It’s a pretty well-understood quantity, but I’m not sure which “factors” you’re describing.

> Overall if we just look at Germany it wouldn't even matter, the nation is too small, it wouldn't even make a dent. It is still necessary to reduce emissions, but if you zero them all, it would be less than 2% of overall world wide emissions, even if it is on place 6. Not for long though and it will be completely dwarfed by the US, China and India.

No Germany alone won’t make a dent directly, but it can model leadership. It’s a lot easier for other countries to get on board when someone has paved the way.
That is why people are supposed to have arrangements with other people who can decide for them when they are in coma. Usually it is family, but you can also designate other people.

If we want people to switch from Whatsapp to Signal, "it's free lol" really isn't a response. From an end-user perspective, Whatsapp is free too [1], and generally wouldn't have issues with downtime. The fact is that to many people, Signal is the "new" thing, and any friction getting started with it is likely to make some people say "fuck this, I'm going back to Whatsapp."

This isn't a project by some random dev on Github that suddenly blew up, Signal has a foundation and millions of users, and if I'm going to convince my parents to use it, the sales pitch cannot be "it's like Whatsapp but doesn't work all the time, but hey it's got freedom or something".

Lol, no. First, many many many kids are very clueless about technology and computers. Some kids will figure these or will be shown them by older siblings. And some other kids in their network will learn about these. But generally, majority of kids by themselves cant figure these at all. To add to it, many kids dont really have access to computer and all they know are phones and tablets. Consequently, they struggle with very basics.

Second, it is also not true that all the kids would be constantly trying to go out of bounds. There are many kids who are smart and actually don't want to break rules, fear breaking them or just simply wont go out of way to make adults angry.
Probably a lot less time than that if we decided that is what we wanted to do.

In comparison to burning fossil fuels which is the basis of the energy crisis, the emissions, radiation, acquisition of fuel, and operate seems all cleaner for a nuclear reactor than the fossil fuel which it replace.

Per GW/h, a fossil fueled power plant is producing a lot of pollution that goes into the air and poison the people and land around it. The outcome from this can be plainly seen in the death per GW/h produced.

The only "100%" clean base load generation we have is actually hydro, but there are a few problems with it. We have already maxed out, and even if we tried to build more it would cause significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions from topsoil decomposition. It also happens to have one of the highest deaths per GW/h, although thankfully we tend to attribute that to the weather rather than the technology itself.

As a point of method: We can and should distinguish "What the author intended" from "what is the unintended side effect of this use of language."

I'm explicitly not commenting on what the author intended to mean by this title choice (yes, a "person who is uncritically affirmative"). (I have absolutely no axe to grind with the author either, just for the record!)

But generally speaking, it's fair to comment on the unintended side effects of someone's use of language, because there are always side effects when we use language. That's how language is -- it exceeds our intentions, because it's a legacy tool with generations of unexplored cultural baggage, to put it in an idiom that software folks might appreciate.

All too true but I think sharing is caring.

I am aware of what a worker needs to achieve to be competitive in a first world nation. This has nothing to do with that, on the contrary, it just worsens working conditions for no discernible reason and surveillance software is unproductive baggage, but most importantly you imply that this productivity tuning would exempt the wage of workers being subject to market forces, which is quite a huge assumption and unproven I would say.

The success of Amazon certainly didn't rely on that.
Opensearch only supports "pre-filtering" or "post-filtering," which leads to either high latency or incomplete results, as explained in the article.

This is why single-stage filtering was the most-requested feature for us.

From the Opensearch docs:

> You should not use approximate k-NN if you want to apply a filter on the index before the k-NN search, which greatly reduces the number of vectors to be searched.

> Because the graphs are constructed during indexing, it is not possible to apply a filter on an index and then use this search method. All filters are applied on the results produced by the approximate nearest neighbor search.

> If you use the knn query alongside filters or other clauses (e.g. bool, must, match), you might receive fewer than k results.

(https://opensearch.org/docs/search-plugins/knn/approximate-k...)

I know Elasticsearch is working on introducing vector search but it is not yet available. I don't know how they will support filtering.
