> The purpose of management is to keep all the stuff employees do actually be useful to the company.

Yes, but I think that's too broad a statement. The purpose of managers is to coordinate work between employees, and ensure employees are working on the company's priorities.

It's telling that smaller companies tend not to have many (or even any) managers. Employees can do a perfectly fine job of coordinating and figuring out the right priorities on their own, up to a point. I'm not sure if this point is hit because after a certain size, coordination would take up all the employees' time (to the point where they wouldn't get any useful work done), or because people start getting political and selfish and can't agree what they should be working on.

I really wish we could find a way to build successful companies without all the layers of management. While they do help with coordination, they also end up abstracting and watering down the company's mission and priorities to the point where the employees end up being so much less efficient than if they had greater control over their destiny. I view the need for management as a symptom of our failure to build better business processes, not as an obvious necessity. Of course, management's paycheck depends on them maintaining the status quo, and they call the shots, so I doubt this will change.
Question is, was it use AN api gateway or use THIS api gateway.
At this point taking responsibility would mean changing the board members. There is no way the .net foundation can have any trust with those members. I am not sure that the .net foundation can still be relevant for anything after this.
> Is it for batch processing tasks that don't have tight deadlines?

I used to work for a company (since shut down) which provided big data processing systems in the cloud. This was one of the typical use-cases for our customers. Big data systems like Hadoop, Spark, etc are built to handle this kind of disruption where you lose a few nodes once in a while, and we had built in further optimizations to do it even better. This fact, combined with the much cheaper price of Spot Instances (upto 90% less than on-demand) make them a compelling alternative to on-demand instances.

In practice - at least on AWS - spot loss used to be quite rare. When it happened, it happened by the truckload, but we used to have spot instances run for several days without termination.
Individual Contributor, that is, someone who doesn't manage others.
As of January 2021, SHA256 repositories are supported, but experimental. They can be created with `git init --object-format sha256`. If I understand correctly, they don't mix at all with SHA1 repositories (i.e. you can't pull/push from/to between SHA1 and SHA256 repos).

See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65870508/git-and-sha-256
You demonstrably self-identify as an idiot.
I find this extremely relevant.
In practice, the difference is pretty small in C#. For almost all purposes classes act like a namespace (System.Math), and can be imported like one. Former 6 will add even more syntactic sugar, so that methods can be defined outside classes.
I'm nearly 40 and want to do this.
There's science proving that covering your mouth to prevent spread of germs and getting vaccinated doesn't work?

That's a bold claim. I'd like to see your science.

This point is addressed in the article:

> "While /all chat can be the source of fun social interaction between teams, as well as some good-hearted banter, right now negative interactions outweigh the positives."
It’s ambiguous to me whether you’re suggesting there are compiled languages with printable and externalizable functions.

Given that many useful functions are actually closures over lexical environments possibly shared by other functions, and compiled to native code, I’d be impressed to find a language where such objects are printable and externalizable. I don’t think they are in Janet.
I feel that this is really an experiment to gather data on how dynamics change. A fairly radical one, but not something that they think is going to be "a solution" in itself. It's true in my (very old and short) experience with LoL, that the worst toxicity came from random teammates, but disabling team chat is not so easy to experiment. I would still bet that the solution lies in better in-game tools to replace team chat, but that's a huge problem to solve (the low hanging fruit with map pings etc is already in place).
Because the ICs who have this trait will work to get themselves promoted into management as soon as they can.

I think it means Individual Contributor. But I agree, Integrated Circuits are more interesting :)
I suggest you reread the parent post. I think you have inverted the message.
Thanks for the reply Jonathan. Sadly just for those who it's probably too late for, and a reactive response rather than pro-active (i.e. to prevent being hospitalised in the first place, given the amount of damage getting to that point can cause to an immunocompromised patient's body in the long term).
When I worked closely with the CEO of a large company pre-Covid it's was 80% in person meeting. Typically meeting with other senior leadership in the company, dealing with urgent decisions.

And by nature most CEOs are people persons. I can see why they'd find the idea of sitting in from of a computer clicking from Zoom call to Zoom call their own idea of hell.
Ok. So let's flatten the curve with mass produced MCA. You can't wait giving MCA until people are hospitalised, they're not effective anymore at that late stage.

So do we test everyone all the time to determine whether they need the stuff? If they test positive, how do we encourage them to take the MCA? Or we could give them to everyone all the time, continually, as a prophylaxis. I'm sure that would to over well.

You could also limit the prophylaxis to particularly endangered folks, but you'd still fill the hospitals with not particularly endangered people who drew the short straw.

That's essentially what we are doing, except the not particularly endangered people can just get the vaccination.

> Sounds like you’re describing something like C.

Not at all. C has essentially no support for interfaces or polymorphism, yet alone delegation - even its data structure support is wonky (no real sum types). If C++ classes are "all you have is a hammer", C doesn't even give you the hammer, so you end up bashing screws in with a rock.

What I advocate is something like Rust, where you have both structs and traits as distinct concepts that serve separate purposes.
That really has nothing to do with what I wrote, other than for you to write about ADE, which is not a practical issue for anyone to worry about with SARS-CoV-2:

The first point. This is the case for holographic waveguides, which currently seem to be the industry-wide obsession.

Many other optical schemes don't share this weakness.
I think a lot more people would be convinced by images of these ICUs and seeing the impact of not being vaccinated as well. However, let's not pretend that the whole point of that subreddit is to "encourage people to get vaccinated". It's to feel good about people (who disagree with you) dying. Maybe if we remembered that some of these unfortunates had more to their lives than being anti-vax, we could be a bit more compassionate and more of them would be convinced in participating in measures against the coronavirus.
> Innocent of a crime. That's it's usual meaning, and we compel those guilty of crimes to do things they don't want to.

They're not guilty of a crime on the books, but I would hardly call antivaxxers innocent. COVID has taken 700K lives and many more long term casualties who will have chronic, lingering effects. A large portion would have been spared if the holdouts would wear masks and take the vaccine.

> That's not an incentive, that's a punishment. I do agree, however, that it is a form of compulsion (a compulsion is never also an incentive).

Punishments are an incentive (prison time is an incentive not to do crime) and compulsory requirements can be incentivized (you have to register for selective service in order to vote).

Moreover, if you want to talk about the law, no one is entitled to their current job, and employers have been given carte blanche to set and modify employment conditions. Losing ones' job for failing to meet the bare minimum workplace safety requirement of not being a vector for a highly communicable disease is free to forfeit their job, but they are not entitled to be a victim about it. That's a personal choice.
I don't follow League of Legends, but I assume the real reason for this would be to help disguise bots?
Wow. A respected PhD theoretical physicist knows exactly as much about fusion as a high schooler? See her Wikipedia page for her resume: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabine_Hossenfelder

At this point, League of Legends is completely irrelevant. Watch/Play Dota2 - it was where it started and where it’s at (although to be exact Warcraft III’s DotA Allstars spawned from Warcraft III’s AOS custom map). The game has a team voice chat which eliminates toxicity almost completely, and taunts/high-fives/spray tags which gives interaction a positive twist. The game mechanics are so much more complex, and thus challenging and entertaining than the copycat League of Legends.

The International 10 tournament is actually ongoing (without crowd unfortunately this year) and the prize pool is set at $40M - including $18M for the top #1 team.
You can import static methods in Java too. Works the same.
Not necessarily. My home insurance (with outdoor coverage) has an add-on policy that also covers damage away from the house up to €3000 per event, for €12 a month with a €100 deductible.

That means I don’t need any separate insurance for my laptop, phone, headphones, watch, what have you. And if just one of those breaks in the span of 3 years, I’ve already broken even at worst, or a net €2570 ‘gain’ at best.
In big companies you will need some global coordination unless you have lots of disconnected products. Trying to build something integrated and ignoring thar global coordination is needed just does not work

I previously worked in a BigCo that did microservices and currently work at BigCo that leans towards monoliths.

It's completely true that microservices makes development _very_ hard. Just being able to run things locally was very hard since instead of understanding how to build/run one service, you had to figure our how to build/run N services. Testing was another major headache.

Monoliths help with technical aspects but organizationally they make your life hell and can severely limit your ability to move fast.

I 'worked' for my own high school's IT dept, a few hours a week, as a student. It was an amazing experience working with those guys. I learned so many things, from how to punch, terminate, and run cables to how to set up a Ghost image and deploy it en masse across the district.

One day one of the old macs was showing the frowny face in a in-session classroom. Boss sent me down there with specific instructions: "pull out the hard drive and beat it really hard with the handle of this screwdriver". I was like: "?" and he was like, "just do it".

So I go down there and let myself in, trying not to interrupt the class. I climb behind the computer on a cart and pull out the HD. I beat it with the handle, like a good 10 times. Of course this got the class all riled up. I blushed, but told them this was normal operating procedure. Plug it back in and it works. I was (secretly) as amazed as everyone else in the class.

Back in the IT office, I say it worked. IT boss smiles and nods. I ask how. Well as it turns out some of those old hard drives used a vegetable oil based lube that seizes up if it's not used for a while. So if you bash it it un-seizes and starts turning again.

Anyway great times, fun memories. We all got our CompTIA A+ certifications at the end, but don't ask me what IRQ number is for the parallel port these days.

> Aside from being bullshit, it's also irrelevant, since we're discussing a collision being generated on purpose, not by accident.

I think you just pointed out the error in your own reasoning. This is defending against a deliberate attack. Therefore, your proper odds would be that your programming team is deliberately set upon by 6 different wolves. So, have they offended people who have access to 6 wolves, and the time and inclination to train them (or hire others to) in an effort to pull off a murder spree?

Edit: Actually, the hash attack already assumes motivation and skill. So, I don't know what the odds would have to be computed. That at least one programmer on your team could fight off a trained attack wolf (to whatever level of "training" is the current state of the art for attack wolves)?

Install the app. You'll see that it sends personally identifiable information (your ip address) to facebook, before you have opted in.

99% of apps also send usage stats and/or crash information to mixpanel, etc. also without opt-in.
1. Because you will probably be truncating the output to a short finite hash, and because each block of internal state only leads in one direction (it affects all later ("up") blocks of internal state for all later ("right") message blocks, but not previous ("left" and "down")), you can optimize it by only implementing the part that you need. So, yes, an actual implementation will be limited, but if you have enough memory and enough time then the limit can be as high as you want to be. (Maybe a diagram might explain it better; I am not sure that this explanation is any good.) (SHAKE also has infinite output (but finite internal state), and when using SHAKE also you would truncate the output to a finite size.)

2. A larger output size might risk leaking data, although I would think it would be difficult.

3A. Like I described, it then needs O(1MB) space and O(1GB) time, so it will be slow. However, I do not expect you should need a hash that long.

3B. I don't know; probably about as predictable as any random number generator, if the hash is designed correctly. (I only describe a construction, and the hash algorithm design involves more than that.)
> I'm not sure what you are referring to with terms like "innocent", "crime", "compulsion" etc when the topic is a covid vaccine.

Why I'm referring to them is because the only members of society we usually compel to do anything are:

- children
- those in the military
- those guilty of a crime
- those who have lost their mind

Adults innocent of a crime, not in the military, and who are compos mentis are not subject to compulsion - to compel them would likely be a crime.

> I don't know why everyone's up in arms about this particular vaccine.

I am not everyone and I am not up in arms about the vaccine, I am responding to the element of compulsion and violation of the normal situation of legal standing between an individual and the government (who would be the ones doing the compelling). If you compel someone to get any of the other vaccines listed, then I would be "up in arms" about that too.
It should not be the 'names' of the institutions that are relevant to the job posting, it should be the skills.

In other words employers should not looking for 'how you a acquired skills', but instead for 'what skills you have'.

---

Same as when you publish scientific paper (or a Talmudic treaties, for that matter) before it gets accepted....

It should not be relevant the name of your scientific advisor, institution, or whether you grandparent a famous Rabbi (if we are going with theological texts..)

---

Yes, by eliminating the names of your school from the hiring process you are also eliminating that little detail that the cost of attendance for 1 year undergraduate at , say, Vanderbilt University -- is 80,000 USD [1], and that you could afford it...

But the approach I am suggesting does more than that -- it incentivizes employers to consider skills of the hires, and not the 'image' of the schools they came from.

Which, in turn, will incentive the schools to prioritize education quality over hyper-marketing.

Certainly I am not advocating to hide personal achievements (eg participation in relevant open source projects, STEM olympiad's, or other relevant endeavors that build not just technical skills, but also a good character).

I have a few different pages of convenient links and tools I use as start pages depending on the current set of start page needs or interests. Some pages are more about news from specific fields, while others are more about enjoyment or relaxation. Still others are about making the browser feel like home, because I've never used it before and am trying it out.

It's amazing to me how many iterations these pages may need before they become reliably useful. The tech is all over the place, from boilerplate html to LOffice and other exports to simple experiments that turned into a layout somehow.

I used a start page extension for my browser for a while, some years ago. I think it would have been smart for the dev to build in customizable export tools. I likely would have kept the one I liked, and then returned to the software more often for tweaks. But in a lot of cases I end up using different browsers or disabling extensions, so the tool itself isn't able to persist.

Good luck with your project, I hope it goes well.
By “print”, I mean it in the Lisp sense of “print readably”. In Lisp, PRINT really means “serialize as text that can be deserialized with READ.” In Common Lisp (and Janet), functions print fine in the colloquial sense:

> (print #'print)
#<FUNCTION PRINT>

The character sequence ‘#<’ means it’s “unreadable” though.

This is generally how I think of all the sciences and math at school level. Everyone would retain a lot more if we taught them "the how" we discovered magnetism, acidity, DNA, and complex numbers than what we currently do, which is just teaching them the formulas and the conclusions. With a framework it's easier to learn the "what".
