Starlink satellites have known orbits. A "close encounter" is when two satellites pass within a kilometer of each other. The occurrence of these is highly predictable.

Planes pass within a kilometer of each other all the time, but it isn't an emergency because we have people whose job it is to make sure they don't actually hit each other, even when flying in nearby airspace. Same with satellites.
A 10x'er is by definition an outlier. It would be absolutely silly for a business to build its planning on the existence of outliers in its staff, unless the company is small (< 20) and that individual is a co-founder or someone you can really rely on.

People leave companies for other opportunities even when they like their current job. I have to plan for that, whether it hurts someone's ego or not.

>then a weekend in Louisville, Kentucky. How this makes any sense

With that destination, I'm assuming UPS delivery. I spent 24 hours at the sort facility there shooting a documentary about the delivery service. There's a reason UPS picked Louisville and FedEx picked Memphis. Knowing that reason it does make sense.

Fun fact, Lousiville's airport is an international airport only because of UPS. No international passenger flights use that airport.

I got a harsh lesson about this in one of my very first jobs.

A senior engineer on my team had built a rather complicated system. He was accordingly intimately familiar with all aspects of it. So when he estimated something on that system, it came with nearly all the discovery work already done.

The PM proceeded to take an estimate from this person, hand it to a brand new hire, and expect them to deliver on that. Needless to say it could have gone better for me.

The word does not exist in any Indian language.

To justify the "pre-date", proponents combine highly distorted theory of jatti and varna to artificially synthesize Indian caste system.

The connection of caste with Europe is much more solid and meaningful given the monopoly of church over God and the king as the representative of God.

I'd like to think I'm capable, but whatever I am, it's certainly bursty with periods of dormancy. To the other comment, it's probably on the bipoloar spectrum. Some of it is self-inflicted. Most of it isn't.

Before covid, I'd had 2 managers who knew something of what I was dealing with and gave me the space to deal with it and encouragement that my work was good enough often enough not to worry. With some 5+ other managers, I believe I successfully masked it and that it would have threatened my job had I failed.

In the remote world, it takes almost no work at all to manage around my work schedule. I don't even feel like I'm masking anything, just living. Weirdest part is I've now fallen into a far more social role.

> Easily overcome by simply having reasonable minimum wage laws. Whereby corporations are required to provide a living wage.

You are proposing fixing a negative externality caused by government policy with more government policy, which also happens to actively harm citizens.

Minimum wage laws add barriers to entry into the labor market for citizens. It ensures that laborers whom cannot provide utility at or in excess of the minimum wage cannot get a job in the first place.

It also actively prohibits private citizens from making voluntary, private transactions that pose no harm to third parties.

> Failing to provide support for citizens _does_ actively harm citizens. The choice you're proposing is between "maybe harm" and "we know it harms". They're not equivalent.

My point was that there was harm induced, definitively, upon Peter when you rob him to pay Paul. The only "maybe" about it was in the event that Peter wanted to give Paul the money anyway. But we know that is a specific case and not general.

In my state it's precisely the opposite - Medicare is horrible, they only pay 80% until you meet a deductible. Never mind the money - just the hassle of the paperwork of paying all those bills will make anyone crazy.

In contrast Medicaid is awesome - zero copay or deductible, just show up and use your insurance card.

There is also Medicare Advantage, which actually is quite good - and it's private insurance that the government pays for. So maybe we don't need either "for all" programs, but rather a universal subsidy for people to buy their own insurance.

> it doesn't pay providers enough to keep the lights on

That's true about both Medicaid and Medicare, which is why neither will ever be offered to all, not without a salary cut to Doctors.
It's been my experience that most companies that try their hand at an OKR process are actually executives trying to answer "what the hell is everyone working on?"

This is pretty common in growth companies and new leaders that are still finding their rhythm for managing an executive team.

Sometimes there's absolutely value in the OKR process even if it's abandoned mid-game, such that it forces people into a mode of thinking and organization that helps them coalesce their ideas into more manageable and actionable plans.

There’s a bootcamp that does something with a university near me in analytics that has called me a couple times to teach there. They tout their connection to the university but it doesn’t look like the bootcamp and the university really integrated in the four or five years since it started. I think the bootcamp just uses extra classrooms.

(I’ve never been super impressed with their curriculum—it seem super scattershot and designed to let students check a bunch of boxes so I’ve never pursued it.)
You can pass it manually, and you can invoke this method from other compilers that don't implement the attribute. In those cases you want an explicit parameter and one with a default value.

It's a huge boost in productivity.

My estimate is that trying to use a soft keyboard drops my effective intelligence by at least half.

Typing is slower and far more error-prone. I'm staring at the keyboard rather than what I've typed, so if there's an error, I don't see it as it occurs (which would enable me to correct it immediately), and navigation is exctremely imprecise. My error / typo rate with a software keyboard is through the roof.

With a keyboard, all of that is much more fluid, and I can focus on what I'm actually trying to say. Being able to toggle between apps and access application hotkeys is another huge bonus.

Downside is that many applications literally don't know what the fuck to do with a keyboard. Apparently keyboard entry is not a consistent low-level Android feature.

- The Pocketbook e-book reader interprets spaces when writing notes or search expressions as "page scroll" events. This is always delightful.

- The Mozilla Pocket app loses focus on each motherlovin' keystroke when entering tags. My enthusiasm for this behaviour is utterly without bounds.

- Depending on the keyboard and perhaps Android version, input of escape (hullo, vim), function keys, and other modifier keys ... is variable ... with Termux. The Logitech keyboard largely functions as advertised, though there are some workarounds required for function key usage (say, with Midnight Commander).

I'm sure you'll discover other fun surprises in your own preferred apps / workflow.

That it's easier to write longer pieces with a keyboard may or may not be a feature, though on balance I'd consider it a plus.

Using Termux or remotely accessing a Linux / *nix system with a real keyboard is also a huge improvement over soft keyboards. Termux (Linux userland available through F-Droid) remains the one thing on Android that does not precisely suck.
Agree 100%. My reaction was to the comments, not the article itself.
> I'm talking about normal ice cubes. They can inflict bodily harm.

If you used it as a weapon, it's a weapon. There aren't generally enhanced criminal charges for non-deadly weapons, however — that's usually just charged as assault.

> With 'serious', does that mean you're suggesting a different definition from the one you quoted?

No, I'm tying this question back to the actual law.

> Remember that my original objection was saying someone was "armed". If we used the definition you gave to figure that out, I think almost everyone is armed.

You're treating the law like it's some sort of extremely idiotic expert system that implodes anytime someone grabs their child's baseball bat with the intent of murdering someone — or actually does so.

Google "mens rea". You're not going to beat a charge with the argument of "It was a little league baseball bat!".

If this still isn't clear, maybe it'd help to see how Colorado defines a "deadly weapon":

> (I) A firearm, whether loaded or unloaded; or (II) A knife, bludgeon, or any other weapon, device, instrument, material, or substance, whether animate or inanimate, that, in the manner it is used or intended to be used, is capable of producing death or serious bodily injury.

If you can figure out how to use your ice cube as a deadly weapon, then congratulations, at the moment you picked up an ice cube with the intent to use it as a deadly weapon, you armed yourself with a deadly weapon.

> Or they transform from unarmed to armed when they smack someone??

They transform from unarmed to armed when they arm themselves with an object they intend to use as a weapon.

You know you could just google this stuff, right? This is very simple, well-established law.

> How do we choose who has to sacrifice?

The people who want to hold the moral high ground have to also accept the suffering and sacrifice that go with it. "Doing the right thing" has a cost to it. That's exactly why I call these people out. They want to be seen as good people, but aren't willing to suffer the burden that goodness requires.

> Isn’t one group bearing the brunt of sacrifice the very definition of inequality.

No, it isn't, because I'm talking about voluntarily sacrificing for your community in the pursuit of a higher good than your own personal enrichment and the enrichment of your children.

> Often times it could be a rich person defending his property name but it could just add easily be a poor family.

Define "rich". Define "poor". When I was a young child, people who could afford to eat three meals a day were "rich". Today, I define "poor" as being unable to eat at a restaurant every day of the week and not being able to afford a first-class flight. It's an ever-sliding scale based on your own income, and everyone's comfortable sacrificing more - or less - than someone else.
This mentality of thinking is exactly the problem, I think. You want a tool that can solve an entire class of problems. We are telling you that no such tool can exist to do what you want, the problem and the tools don't work that way. Each project should be planned as a snowflake. Each project is different. Each team is unique. Every individual performs differently, even one day to the next. Stop looking for this tool to make these plans. It can't exist.

Do the hard thing and plan projects individually.

Agreed. It is rare that you can get objectively meaningful numbers. So, while it is convenient that half the code delivered was his, that is not the meaningful measure.

When I was in school, the standard for engineer productivity was 10 lines of tested code per day, averaged. Maybe we do better today, with fewer footguns and faster compilers. But we expect more meaningful results from a line of code, too.

Indian Railways was started by the colonial British for just two purposes.

1. To Return multiple times returns for British investors on the expense of Indian colonies.
2. To move supply of Raw material to the ports and manufactured goods from England to the natives.

The British left India. But the Indian Railways is still in India.

There's indeed a lot of similarities in person here, characters of self-aggrandizement & mythologizing. Willingness to sleaze & act low. Both are deeply deeply deeply cynical. Both take advantage of those around them. But mercy heavens be, the output of these men could not feel more apart. Thompson's latter Kingdom of Fear is one of the few of his books I own, but seems characteristic. It describes the corruption & sadness of conservatist furor (including in Democratic characters such as then Mayor Dianne Feinstein) in story after story, decries racism & state violence & hatred, questions the abuse of authority that pervades American policing & war-making. Thompson decries the american hysteria, again and again (having been very very much shaped by the apocalyptically bad democratic convention of 1968), rebuffs those possessing self importance. It's absolutely cynical as shit (like DJT), but it does not purport some great new dawn by returning to the past, does not propose we make enemies of those who arent in our in group; Thompsons treatise is clearly that far too much of America has gone way way overboard defining battle lines. Is sickening bent on conflict & doomed by it.

There's a remarkably convincing job done here, impressive even, in it's attempt to convince that two men who espouse dramatically opposed beliefs miggt in fact be kindred spirits. Perhaps so, perhaps they share a nature, but one of them is acute, aware, sensitive, concerned, begging for open consideration & wider perspectives, and the other preaches only totalizing belief in himself, has no other apparent values or sensitivities to offer. To try to conflate these two is a boldly vulgar emterprise. One has to ignore utterly what Thompson writes to make these arguments.
Great idea, let's put pantographs on teslas. and while we're at it maybe we can reduce the maintenance requirements by putting them on sort of durable guideway, say made out of metal. and if we also use a metal wheel we can use the guideway for return current and only put up one wire...
Good point - a company I worked at introduced (and later tweaked because they couldn't get it right, then later abandoned) OKRs and no one who made that decision would have known what was going on at Intel - they just saw the name of a big company and assumed it must be good.
If you feel bummed out and full of regret, go back and do it. Life's too short to live with doubts. Yeah, doing it now might not be ideal, but doing it later won't be either. Just make sure you're doing it for you - a piece of paper is unlikely to open many doors that solid work experience doesn't, but satisfying curiosity, the sense of accomplishment, and potentially improved mental health are all highly desirable.

I'd recommend online courses, not just because it will have less negative impact on your career, but also because you may find after a semester that your itch has been scratched and you feel comfortable without the degree, in which case it would be nice not to invest too much into the effort early on.
Anecdata, but I have known quite a few excellent developers from bootcamp/self-taught backgrounds. I'm a bootcamp grad myself, and have done very well.

I'm curious what skills engineers use on the job that are taught well in university but are hard to pick up from experience?
In a major-war-between-superpowers situation, maybe "nobody can get into orbit" is preferable to one side controlling space unilaterally? Though I suppose things would have to be really bad to deny access to space even on a short-term basis. The more plausible scenario maybe just that most of the commercial satellites get destroyed by and become debris, and nothing can occupy certain orbits for any significant length of time without getting hit eventually. Which means that short-term use of space for military objectives would be the least-impacted use case.

The contractor is most definitely responsible. That's like saying a murderer wouldn't be liable as long as he was a contract killer.

(as someone currently picking at a semantic approach to granularly single-sourcing documentation...)

I think there are a lot of small factors that create a big headwind for semantic markup, but I think the most important are:

1. Semantic markup can make it easy to build bigger/better levers, but a lot of these aren't universally useful. (They aren't compelling reasons for most people to suffer.)

2. There's no great starting point you can recommend to anyone from which they'll be able to incrementally improve their documents and start building levers without large up-front investments.
