Facebook, the social media website is used, almost exclusively for 'idle chitchatter', so you may want to avoid working there if your opinion of the user is so low. (Actually, you'll probably fit right in at Facebook.)

It's unclear to me how a 'high enough in the ladder' manager doesn't realize that there's easily dozen people who know the situation intimately but who can't do anything until a dependent system to them is up. "Get back to work" is... the system is down, what do you want them to do, code with a pencil and paper?

ramenporn violated the corporate communication policy, obviously, but the tone and approach for a good manager to an IC that was doing this online isn't to make it about corporate vs them/the team, and in fact, encourage them to do more such communication, just internally. (I'm sure there was a ton of internal communication, the point is to note where ramenporn's communicative energy was coming from, and nurture that, and not destroy that in the process of chiding them for breaking policy.
It violated a legally void clause of the EULA. Do you have a source that the VM-related restrictions are equally void?
People are often willing to sacrifice any amount of development velocity to avoid being seen to make mistakes.

IMO that attitude never makes sense - it can make sense to avoid certain mistakes at all costs (self-driving car), but it never makes sense to try to avoid blame for them (company refuses to admit their car isn't good enough).

This is a problem of culture, not individuals.

Does the culture at a company openly admit mistakes, try to learn from them, and put systemic fixes in place to address them, or do they punish people for mistakes?

If the latter, you end up with nobody admitting to mistakes and a terrible culture, it's not about the people, it's about the situation you have put them in and the incentives given to them.

Freicoin exists and nobody adopted it. That kind of tells you everything you need to know. Freicoin was designed with a -5% interest rate to defeat speculation and encourage people to spend their money quickly. It also means that Freicoin loans are very affordable because even a 0% loan lets the lender avoid paying -5% interest.

> 13. Your data is the most important part of your system

+1. Most (including me) internalise, if at all, this lesson the hard way through trial and error.

I wish this is was taught in colleges. Software is mostly about manipulating data and it's a pity that not much is taught in a structured manner about building systems around data.

I expected Domain Driven Design (DDD) would address this but it doesn't.
Thank you for taking the time to do that and I know we are drifting massively off-topic. The blogs posts fail the PROMPT test for me but the Zahraa, 2001 paper is much more interesting and makes a decent case that this isn't a settled issue and it probably should be sooner rather than later.

What I would really like to exist, is a VM image for Windows 10, without all the telemetry, updates and anti-virus software.

Asynchronous interviews to get the best responses from your candidates
Hi Hacker Newsers!

I have developed a new software that can help you in your recruitment interviews. The software eliminates initial face-to-face interviews and Zoom based interviews by allowing you to send your questions to an unlimited number of candidates and receive their answers in audio/video format directly to your dashboard. Here are the benefits:

𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀
The problem with face-to-face and Zoom interviews these days is, the candidate is only trying to impress the recruiter with what they think the recruiter wants to hear. In many cases, the candidate is surprised by a question and wishes they'd prepared better. However, if given the opportunity to prepare as they naturally would at any job, in the comfort of their home or any environment they work in, they would produce a completely different answer to the question! We help them do just that!

𝗦𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆
Imagine a list of 100, 200, or 500 candidates respond to a job listing. Many of these candidates would be high potential and their CVs either wouldn't make it high enough up the pile or won't get a chance to explain some things they simply couldn't explain on their CV! With Intrvue, you could receive an Audio or Video response from all 500 candidates without the hassle of setting up Zoom appointments or calling them in for a face-to-face interview. Also, think Covid-19 restrictions!

𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀
By doing Asynchronous Interviews, you can now free up your calendar to accommodate all the other tasks you should actually be focusing on. Yes, interviews are one of your main tasks, but wouldn't you rather review the responses rather than repeating the same questions to multiple candidates all day long?

𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿
You can talk 7-8x faster than you can type and you can listen 2-3 times faster than that. There are many use cases for asynchronous technology, one of them being if you want a quick answer from a co-worker without having to setup a Zoom call to receive a 10 second response.

TL;DR:
Eliminate Zoom Interviews Like This:
Step 1: Write your question(s)
Step 2: Get the question link(s)
Step 3: Send the link(s) in an email or on a hiring site to ALL your candidates in one go!
Step 4: The candidate can answer the question(s) without signing up
So I agree with what you are saying, but I think you (and many people) misunderstand what a politician's job is for. They are there to deliver, and simplify messages to try and get people on-board with whatever idea they are campaigning for. This may mean over-simplifying a complex system, or "bending the truth" (a good politician can do this in the face of accusations about lying and claim that what they are saying is true if you look at the data in a certain sort of way). A politician is not your friend...again none of this is surprising.

> I didn't expect Brexit to be this bad,

I think we have different ideas of what "bad" is. There are understandable difficulties, but black-swan events in recent years have completely overshadowed any damage that Brexit may be causing. COVID-19 is "bad" in my books. Chinese/Russian influences are "bad". Also see chip shortages, global supply chain issues, etc. Arguments about fishing are not - unless you are one of the small number of people affected by this...again on the scale of a country I'm not convinced.
Because it isn't! Interop makes your job easier, and some other people's jobs, but that doesn't make interop a good idea for the businesses involved, and in fact, it sounds like a losing proposition for VendorM. Vendors like their lock in, and especially in an immature industry, there's no easy hammer to convince vendors to play ball. VendorM and do zero work, lock businesses A-D further into their ecosystem, and make even more money.

Your choices are to force VendorM into taking your calls somehow - through regular business channels (which it sounds like you have), but also through regular irregular channels. Who do you know at VendorM, where do they like to play golf/etc. Amass a giant pile of capital and buy out VendorM and all their customers. I'll bet you can get them on the phone then.

The retort, to the business owners, is that this is figuring it out. Ask them if Cannabis is legal yet, ask them if they heard about the huge drug bust last week (last week!) in Alameda that the cops are all proud of themselves for. Ask them if they're business owners, who are willing to roll up their sleeves and do some actual work, or if they're just lazy stoners who thought they could get rich and didn't have to do any real work.

You've heard the story of the first shopping carts, I presume, and then also the black art of pricing products.

Speak the language of business people - charge money for the interop, then invite the people that actually do the work to meetings, and don't invite the business owners. (I mean, sell it to the business owners as this is what they're paying their people for, so they don't have to go to these kinds of boring meetings.)

If you want to be in the interop standards business, put some hubris in it. Market your service, loudly, proclaiming that you're the one true standard for the industry, charge businesses a pile of money. Let business owners's employees discover that the underlying spec is free and sell that to their boss as being worth their time. If enough customers ask VendorM if they've implemented the spec yet, they'll make time. Until then... hey, does photoshop open .XCF files created by GIMP yet?
Wonderful! Thanks.

I've been using XMonad for over 10 years now. Originally I went with Awesome but then decided I liked still having a normal desktop environment and XMonad's integration with Gnome was really easy.

The way I've done this has changed a bit over the years, these days I drop a file in .config/autostart letting xmonad replace the normal window manager after Gnome gets itself sorted out.

Because it would make presidential election outcomes more likely to reflect the popular vote (which is the morally right thing to do), and because it reduces the risk that small changes in big states create vastly different election outcomes (which is the strategically right thing to do, if you expect your opponent to cheat, lie, and start insurrections based on false claims).
So, as I meant to express, the only problem with this problem is it is hard for the majority to see.

Mmm, in my experience, it’s more that people don’t believe that something truly valuable to them comes packaged in your arrogance, brilliance, or effortlessness.

They’re so accustomed to those things being signs of assholes, or reasons to feel inadequate, that they resist looking at what’s being delivered.

The OP’s point about bracing for a long battle means that truly persuading others is not just about making the amazing thing. It’s about having the humility to weather their resistance and care harder than they do about the merits of the way. And patiently, tenaciously demonstrating the value instead of doing anything that seems like boasting about it. Then they’ll stop ignoring you, and you’ll both win.

You continuously claim Navalny to have hateful views on sexual minorities or jews, but you fail to provide any sources.

As for georgian 'rats'. 1. This was a statement done during an actual WAR with georgia, with extremely distorted information field and difficult to judge situation. I myself was very anti-georgian at that moment, but my views have changed since then. Navalny has also retracted his statement on the matter and apologized for it a long time ago, but propagandists like you endlessly cite it without any context or follow ups.
Shorting Tether would be an amazingly dangerous thing to do, especially on a closely associated exchange like FTX.

Presumably a 1x programmer is an average programmer. The type who does his job acceptably. He doesn't create huge problems, nor solve them. He is a fine team player and team member, but not a leader. Nobody despairs when he leaves, and he will be forgotten after a few months.

Basically, the majority of programmers.

If you just want to accept BTC (plus some other supported coins), BTCPayServer is your best bet. It is very good, but due to its architecture it does not store any private keys in the server, so it is not designed to work with account-based chains like Ethereum.

If you want to accept stabletokens (which seems to be the case since you don't want to necessarily hold crypto as an investment, so stable tokens can help you to avoid volatility), you will certainly want to be able to accept ERC20 tokens. I'd recommend you take a look at Hub20 [0], which I've been working for a while and it aims to be the Ethereum analog to BTCPayServer. Currently Hub20 is also integrating with Raiden Network[1], which works in a similar way to BTC's Lightning (but again has the advantage that it can work with any erc20 token, so you can transact with stable tokens if you wish)

Hub20 is self-hosted and it does provide a way to store and manage secrets and wallet keys. For a self-hosted scenario, this means that you are always in control of your funds. I am also working on a checkout system[2] so that people can accept payments from their site in a similar way to Stripe.

I've been working to turn Hub20 into my full-time project recently, I'm always on the Matrix room [3] for any kind of support. I'm also open to consulting in the domain. Let me know if I can be of any help.

> You can run as many virtual machines on your mac as you want

Do you keep your code human readable? Why?
I thought it was related to the number of micro states that are equivalent to a given macro state. So, as the number of particles increase, the temperature increases or the volume increases, there are more possible micro states. That’s why very cold things or very ordered things (crystals) have low entropy, because you can’t readily swap out microstates.

It’s also why a pile of legos is high entropy; you could easily swap legos around and the pile would be indistinguishable. Whereas you can’t do that with a built lego.
I think it's more a point that it's a currency that it is effectively impossible for anyone to change the supply more than it doesn't need to be bailed out.

It would be impossible to do any work at all without making assumptions.

This attitude belies the fact that of the 1000s of assumptions you make every day 1 or 2 will end up being incorrect, but it's usually very, very hard or even impossible to know which in advance.
Being a 10x developer is a factor of experience. You don’t need to debug the issue if you can already reason through to where it must be.
>, I would say that 10x programmers do exist.

Yes but I think the underlying issue is that some people really Really don't like to acknowledge (or are unaware) there's a small set of elite programmers that can do things average coders can't. But any label we use to describe them (i.e. "10x", "rockstar", "ninja", etc) will be psychologically distasteful. I previously commented about that effect:

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13753178

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24753594

To see that hidden psychology driving the narrative... look at how the author constructed his comparison with extra qualifiers of "competent" & "similarly experienced" : ">The idea that someone can produce in 1 day what another competent, hard working, similarly experienced programmer can produce in 2 weeks is silly."

In other words, if we artificially construct the comparison by a priori assuming both programmers are equal, then the 10x difference is a myth. Well yes, that's tautology.
If you invent a sentence to "prove" a point, you can set any conditions in the artificial universe in your favor that seems to support it.

However in the real world, the stack of resumes will have a candidates with wildly different skill levels. Some struggle with Fizz Buzz. Some can write a 3d game from scratch. But it's impossible to create a label to describe that wide gap which also doesn't invite bikeshedding on that label.

EDIT reply to: >"Why can't we call them master programmers?"

Because we'd still have endless bikeshedding of the label "master" as in "Master programmers are a myth..."

> Maybe a dumb question...

Yes, you're right, it is a "dumb question".

The USPS is not "the government". It has certain government mandates, and postal workers are classed as federal employees but to just call it "the government" is not quite right.

They're facing financial difficulties because of pensions and health care plans from another (more civilized) era and not because of bad service.

I don't know if banking is going to work out for the USPS. It makes sense that it's a "pilot program". If it puts slimy check-cashing and payday-loan joints out of business, that would certainly be a good thing.

The idea of the USPS becoming a third party identity service provider has been tossed around before, and they could certainly provide other miscellaneous bureaucratic services. Whatever happens USPS will need to make deep changes, I think, in order to survive.

The more you learn the more you realise you were wrong.

Having an opinion has often come to mean one is a fan boy of something and will have it no other way.

I have heard team leads say "this python code is bad because it uses no classes" or "we need to use EMR so we can process all customer data together"

Bad opinions formed can be dangerous and counter productive.

Though I do agree that an opinion based on having a well thought out plan and experience is a sign of maturity.

> it can make sense to avoid certain mistakes at all costs (self-driving car), but it never makes sense to try to avoid blame for them

Eh? As you say, it's a culture thing, and the culture of a lot of humans is that the mistake only matters if you take blame for it. Plenty of people and organisations put more effort into avoiding blame for things than the thing itself.

Blame-free culture is great, but it has to be actively maintained.
Instead of looking at people as good and bad, it helps to look at them as people who do good and bad things, to be slightly more accurate.
