> When you spend time alone, you are left with nothing but yourself. And only from there can you find yourself, and your swagger, again.

Not always. Some depend on others to "build them up", and they crumble if isolated.

Also, what is good for the company is not necessarily good for you. But this is true for all employees, therefore there is nothing contradictory with people being "justifiably" motivated to take actions that are detrimental to the company. For example, excluding and railroading you.

The only solution with those people is to enter into political dramas. If that doesn't sound attractive, go elsewhere.

> knowing what you're good at and acting accordingly — earned confidence

It's possible to make the mistake believing that competence holds currency. In some environments (maybe like in the company in question), it's rather "swagger" or "momentum" that is rewarded.

In Poland we have normal iodized salt, but we have uniodized salt just for one purpose - making pickled cucumbers. But our "kiszone ogórki" is not the same as typical pickled cucumbers ("ogórki konserwowe", we have those too). It's more like sauerkraut but with cucumbers. With iodized salt they just spoil.

> This golden aged failed when it missed the boat to go mobile.

There were plenty of mobile applications that supported multiple chat protocols. There might even still be. The issue is proprietary protocols would often change breaking support -- I suspect intentionally breaking support for 3rd party client.

Linux / Unix nerds running FOSS would be tolerant of that but I suspect your average smart phone user who might have spent 99c on the client would be less understanding.

I love the vi approach to text editing and have been using it in my daily work for 20 years now -- 10 years in Vim, 10 in Emacs, thanks to evil-mode -- and I have no intention to switch to anything else. However, I tried Vimium and other vi-like UIs for web browsers on multiple occasions but surprisingly it never stuck even though it seems so logical to use it for that as well. Eventually I realized that I actually enjoy taking an occasional break from the vi system and using the mouse for a bit. It's relaxing. The other thing is that web browsing as a task is so different from text editing than many vi concepts do not translate 1-to-1 and there's just too much new stuff that one needs to learn to make it work for web browsing. As a result the cognitive and muscle memory savings are really not that big.
Elaborate? Every language can be used, I stand by that statement. Sure they have very differing levels of easiness to start with but all are usable regardless.
It appears this provides a way to truly distinguish who should be protected from SARS-Cov-2 infection and who shouldn’t, given a cheap test can be manufactured.

The problem then is, that we and the individuals affected know which group they are belonging to. This makes a very alienable experience. Imagine being one of these people, virtually every other person is radioactive to you.

What would be the societal and political implications of this? Lockdowns only for people who have this marker? I can imagine people wouldn’t want to make this test as it makes them turn paranoid, could we force people to make this test?
Hi, thanks for the comments and nice words.

If E2E is important for you, I would then advise you not to use Luckynote until we introduce something like that.

Hope you still give it a shot just to play around with it, maybe you can find other usage for it that does not require E2E.

Ask HN: What to do if Team Lead is ghosting dev?
Hey HN! A friend of mine asked for my advice and I didn‘t know what to tell him.

He joined a „StartUp“ 6 months ago and in the beginning, the team lead was very helpful and quick to response!

But, for about two months now he is never answering any questions on Slack! In an 1:1 meeting yesterday he mentioned that the dev is not performing as the other team members and he is too busy to take time to answer his questions since the ROU is too low for him to prioritize it higher!

Is this common behaviour? I never had a situation like and therefore don‘t know what to tell him!

Mainly it sounds like a failure to connect with everyone else and read the room.

This is "getting kicked out of the tribe" 101 and people are normally very sensitive to this. But as a new leader it's hard to understand all your status relationships (and that the happiness of the people under you on the org chart affects the happiness of the people listed above you).

You can disagree with everyone else, you can be overridden (and quit, or disagree and commit or whatever you have to do) but not to see it coming is to live in a fundamentally different reality than your team.

One thing I notice is a lot of words devoted to senior leadership and the author's personal leadership experience but not much focus on the experience or input of the (100+) people doing the work. The reason you don't fire a really good leader is because they'll take the team with them! The blog post is a bit of a Rorschach test but for me that's how I parse the blind spot.

I actually think it's a great blog post due to the Rashomon effect it seems to provoke among people who read it.

The thing is, who freaking cares. He can literally go to his grave without paying taxes. That shouldn't happen.

The average Joe can't do that. The average Joe shouldn't do that.

Why should Bezos?

Why are you even defending him? Your position is morally untenable.
I think the “lost swagger” thing is that there was a decision made behind closed doors that he knew was bad and chose not to speak up. So when that decision indeed caused something bad, he emailed the CEO explaining why they should have know it was bad from the start. And the CEO complained that he was hired to “speak up” and he didn’t. And instead of bouncing back, he spiraled downwards (presumably doing a very bad job and justifying his firing).

If he had the confidence to come back to who he was, even after being targeted by jealous executives and messing up with one decision (splitting the eng team), he would have done a better job.

That’s my take of it
To me, Dask is the solution to the wrong question. Rearchitecting the data loading + processing is better than trying to force data frames into a distributed world and will perform a lot better too.

My dad didn't show any interest in the stuff I was interested in besides cars.

I knew early on my father, and myself, were very different.

What suprised me is after, and during college I felt he was in a weird competition with me.

He never paid a cent towards my schooling so I didn't understand some of his comments. He made more money off he as a dependant on his taxes than any care he provided. or very close.

He always used to say, "But you don't contribute to society by being in school." I knew what he was getting at, but I was working through school as a Securty Guard. I was paying taxes? (And I knew how much college was overrated.)

I understand not having the same interests, but trying to sabatoge a young guy is something else?
I think you're getting a little off topic here. Whatever demand exists for USD there's a ton of sources in the world to supply same said USD that isn't the united states because as we all know it's a world reserve currency... This helps the USA because it makes it possible to print a ton of money and the inflation gets absorbed by all world wide holders of USD instead of just Americans. This keeps inflation way down while they print more money. But even so $1 is worth less and less everyday. Bitcoin has no such problem. It's deflationary. As long as there's a floor to it's demand it will continue to go up in value. Nothing in the past 9 years has disproved this concept.
I feel you could be exaggerating just a little. :D
I work at a University HPC centre and our new 72 core Icelake nodes have 512gb of RAM, and even our older 40 core Cascade Lake nodes had 256gb as standard, so I always scratch my head at who these libraries serve. That's pretty standard hardware for a HPC cluster, which is where people doing this stuff should be working anyway.

People weren't polite on the internet in the 90s! There was plenty of trolls even back then. Plenty of spam too.

I'm ashamed to admit this but I even wrote software what ran on Windows 95 and would spam chat rooms with thousands of phrases generated on the fly from a dictionary. The intention was it would run over a RAT (also of my creation) and get other people booted off the chat room. ie the spam would be posted by other people in chat rooms against their will and channel admins would then kick them. I wrote this because at college we "only" had dual ISDN lines and kids in chat rooms would slow down my warez downloads.

I know, I know, the justification is worse than the tool itself. But we were young, I've grown up since and these days the lessons I've learned from my college exploits are put to good use :)

"New Project" asks if you want to "Save your current project" and the options are "Yes" and "Cancel".

I would expect Cancel to cancel the new project rather than losing the current work, and would expect a "No" option instead to mean lose the current project.
This was a tough post to read, and I am glad the author was able to recover and land on his feet again. But, I can't help but think that this was an awful work environment.

First of all, no one should feel blindsided and fired like that! It sounds like the only feedback he ever got was some received was some vague 'get your mojo back'. Also, having to force yourself into meetings is just a sign of toxic politics to me. It certainly doesn't need to be a formal top down structure, but when people start getting exclusionary and territorial that is a bad sign.

I understand this is a startup, but there were 100 people! If the company is counting on everyone to impulsively take initiative that sounds like total chaos. Even when I worked at a company with 10 people I would think through proposals, then discuss them with my manager or the CEO before actually executing.

The last thing is that having swagger shouldn't replace authenticity. People have a good ability to sniff out a phony, so be yourself. If you end up in some wild chaotic environment where you have to fight to survive, the best option may be to leave!
The government, you know, that thing that has a million other uses, will always want control over the currency.

If the crypto point of view is that no one should control currency, first of all, that's super naive and secondly, that puts it on a collision course with governments.

PHP salaries in the UK are decent. Perhaps a little lower on average than other ecosystems (the high-end has a tendency to use other languages), but I've definitely seen some well paid jobs. As a junior it may well make sense to start with PHP as there are just lots of jobs available, then you can move onto something else. There are other good options too of course.
Thanks a lot for your feedback! That's really good to know.
I used the term "snob" in quotes because that's the term used in the linked-to article. Here are the relevant parts:

> Okrent mostly attributes English’s idiosyncrasies to the barbarians, the French, the printing press, and what she calls “the snobs.” ...

> At other times, standardization was deliberate. Those whom Okrent labels “snobs,” primarily 18th-century linguists, publishers, and pedants addicted to “intentional meddling,” consciously manipulated the language. Their meddling included the introduction of the supposedly sophisticated silent letters in doubt, indict, receipt, and salmon, as well as the Hellenized spellings of medical terms that originated as diaria, asma¸ and fleume.

Nearly all sources I can find point to that same Etymonline entry.

My understanding is more like https://www.quora.com/Which-language-is-responsible-for-the-... :

> British pedants, making a wrong guess, as they often did. Surprisingly, isle and island do not have the same origin. ...

> Isle comes from the French île (courtesy of the Normans). In Middle English it was spelled ile or ille. ..

> This ultimately comes from the Latin insula, and in Renaissance France some pedants tried to change it to isle, but ultimately failed. ...

> British pedants had more success, having decided that spellings should indicate classical origins at the expense of pronunciation. This had the advantage that it made spelling harder for those without the benefit of a classical education, and provided an opportunity for schoolboys to mock their lesser colleagues.

> They had some justification for isle (though it was a stupid rule). However, they also changed iland to island, incorrectly assuming common origins.

The "indicate classical origins" is from the (false) belief that this word came from Latin.

https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/349393/dictionar... quotes the OED as:

> The ordinary Middle English and early modern English form was iland, yland. ... In 15th cent. the first part of the word began to be associated with the synonymous ile, yle (of French origin), and sometimes analytically written ile-land; and when ile was spelt isle, iland erroneously followed it as isle-land, island; the latter spelling became established as the current form before 1700.

That's true, but as a beginner I feel like starting with Rust is a lot more accessible, and could help someone switch into C++ later.

Yup.

Another favorite aphorism:

"A fool never learns. A smart man learns from his mistakes. A wise man learns from the mistakes of others."

One problem that I have with people being given huge responsibility, before getting much experience, is that we haven’t had time to see others make mistakes.

One key reason that I was a good manager, was that I had many bad managers, and learned what not to do.
L1 = Layer 1.

Example of how I understand it with gold: L1 is gold itself. L2 would be currencies with gold backing. L3 would be bank / credit card services based on that currency.

Bitcoin: L1 is Bitcoin itself. L2 are certain technologies, like the Lightning Network, that allow for bundling of transactions. L3 would be service providers who use L1 and L2 Bitcoin technologies in the background.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
We obviously don't know like 99.9% of the full story, but the fact that he had a long session with the COO one evening and then got fired the very next day in the morning is just plain evil and wrong. It's not how you treat a human. It's disrespectful to say the least. The employee went home feeling good, so the COO basically charmed him up the day before firing him in order to get out the last ounce of what they considered was worth getting out of this employee before discarding him. That's disgusting behaviour and I personally would never want to work with such a COO or company at all.

Now on the topic of swagger. I agree, it's important to know who you are and be comfortable to be that person. Every human contributes in their own way. Swagger doesn't mean ego or arrogance, to me swagger means you know your strengths and feel comfortable to play your role in your team/community/family/etc.

Some people are great critical thinkers, some are great motivators, jokers, conservatives and risk averse planners, etc.

You need all of them. Everyone has their own swagger. Some people are quiet and sit in the corner of a room and throw in a critical question at the right moment of a meeting which others might find annoying but in the end everyone knows it was good that it happened. Some talk a lot, walk into a room and make jokes and struggle to sometimes focus on the topic at hand but they lift up spirits and soften the mood when things get heated. Like there is really no perfect human being. You need all those different characters to contribute and it requires everyone to be accepting of the other person in order to really become a great team. This is how it works in strong families who go through thick and thin and this is how it works in great performing teams.

Know yourself and know your swagger!
DOIs are not URLs though. They are identifiers, as the name suggests. I don't think URLs were ever intended to be identifiers. At least that's not how they are used, as can be seen from the fact that there is a many-to-many relationship between URLs and pieces of content. Identifiers for published pieces that are independent from where that piece is currently published are useful. Just one example: An article can be published in many places and in many different formats (HTML, print, PDF, ...). The DOI allows us to establish that all these instantiations represent the same publication. You might say that we could use titles instead but these are not unique. We also can't use title + authors because authors change their names. And so on. DOIs therefore address a real need. That's why they've become so successful and omnipresent in academic publishing.
