Hard disagree, I would rather have multiple clear and singular RCAs than any 5Y exercise that is >1 width. Too much context to follow to accurately drill into each cause per an RCA, from my experience.

You end up looking for random causes to increase your tree width, instead of the actual analysis at hand.

No, I think you're wrong. When we're talking about recreational drugs, those who claim or imply that they're safe have the burden of proof.
I'd agree if wages (especially minimum wage) had kept pace with cost of goods and services over the years. It hasn't. There was an 11 year period where it didn't change, for example.
It would be terribly unprofessional for any of these sacked people to leave the CEO nasty voicemails based on his last name.

Discarding the heads is obviously best practices, but from discussions with serious scientifically minded distillers (ie chemists that enjoy brewing gin and artisanal vodka at home) the amount of methanol contained in the heads of your home distillation is hardly enough to harm you. In the worst cases if you consumed a significant volume it might give you a harsh headache (and this would be a truly large amount). If you were to collect the heads from several batches and drank that all in one go, you could probably make yourself sick.

Now say you're a shady corner store owner and you take some denatured alcohol or other spirits and dump it into some cheap vodka and sell it under the table as 'moonshine' or something else to make a quick buck...yeah you're going to hurt people. And not just a little. You could easily kill someone that way, or permanently damage them. But at home with your own still? You're way more likely to start a fire than you are to kill someone with your distillate. Unless you start cutting your output with other not-for-consumption spirits.

No it is beyond just compliance - Xi is outright starting to Mao it up and dusting off the communist claptrap when it is useful to him, and spouting crap about China's future being in physical good manufacturing.

It's just that tech is massively moving in on quite fast direction.
Oh so this is not what I thought it is. I thought it actually figures out the chords for any given song.
It's more of a risk/reward thing. Any code on a networked computer has non-zero risk. And what's the reward... an engineer had fun at work today? That's not a very compelling argument in a business context.

I say this as someone who snuck an easter egg into our product at my last job. Yes, it was fun, but if I had gotten in trouble for it, I would have deserved it.
Yeah that makes no sense. I would prefer my child is taught by someone who is at least accredited by the state. Of which a college degree is typically required. My point though was that she attended college and earns a shit wage, whereas I didn’t graduate high school but fell in to tech.

Most tech jobs provide absolutely no value to the planet, mine included, compared to the value a teacher provides children.

Side topic. What's wrong being a software dev?
While I don't for a moment believe that they were ripping off code or otherwise violating copyright, unix source code wasn't that hard to get if you wanted it; sure, it wasn't freely available on the net, but plenty of companies, research groups, and even schools were working with it.
Yes. As more management layers/people are added, people are all wanting to be "more professional", and seeing "oh, we did formal written RCAs on production events at my last company, we need to do that here".

I did a 6 month gig at a company a few years ago. Team of... 6-8, with a dedicated PM and a good team lead. Company was around ... 80 or so at the time, and there were a couple other 'dev' teams (I think around 35-40 'dev' folks at all - it was growing so hard to pinpoint numbers).

I saw some of these types of processes there - I didn't always agree with 100% of everything done, but there was a team. 1 lead, one PO/PM, and... 5-6 devs and a couple testers - a self-contained unit. It worked pretty well, all things considered.

I'm currently in a situation where it's completely backwards, but they're trying to implement all the 'correct' and 'professional' techniques. Oh, and I'm part time - ~20 hrs per week. Pretty much everyone is part time, either overall, or part time on this project, and... the wrongness of trying to bring in techniques built for full time larger teams seems to be lost on everyone but me.
>Plenty of wild non-war applications have been proposed for nuclear bombs over the years

Yup, Project Plowshare (US) and Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy (USSR) looked a lot of interesting/crazy ideas for non-military applications for nuclear weapons.

Some of the ideas were just nuts for use on earth (like making bays) but if we ever do start setting up shop on another planet, like Mars, nuclear detonations could probably be used for construction efforts early on to get some serious work done quickly - Project Orion, especially if done with materials mined from the asteroid belt, could be an extremely viable option for interstellar travel even if just for probes.

I know it’s just an anecdote but as a customer I kind of believe this.

I just completed a transaction with them that had to be extended beyond the rate lock window. For about 10 days there was a daily back and forth where they asked me to provide some documentation. I would provide the requested documentation and about 12 hours later I would receive a task of uploading the same required documentation.

The document was a 50ish page legal document that required someone to look at it. It’s clear nobody was actually spending any effort on it. Even calling my loan officer wasn’t getting me anywhere. It wasn’t until the deadline approached that they called me and wanted to get it all sorted out and they extended my rate lock.

The way management handled this looks horrible but if there’s any truth to these employees essentially stealing wages from their employer then they’re lucky they’re just being fired and not being prosecuted.
I wonder how it deals with intrinsics for optimization (SSE and the like), does it fail to compile, or maybe WASM has some support, or it's completely lost in translation?
Because modern day companies are broken. They hire engineers whose raison d'être is to "work" and pump out features, regardless if products reach a level of stability and maturity that most would considered finished. The entire ecosystem is busted. Look at Dropbox for example. Steve Jobs famously said that it's a feature not a product. Why do they hire thousands of engineers and keep adding things that no one really wants? Because they can't just fire people and so execs and PMs keep generating fake work until products bloat out of control. What else are they going to do? Are they really going to admit that there isn't anything else left for them to do and get laid off? Never.
Sears and IBM at their peaks weren't at Walmart or Amazon's scale. Amazon's scale in their respective market is even more dominant than Walmart... they're approaching over half of all global ecommerce. Second place isn't close. Walmart covers <25% brick and mortar retail.

Also, look at it from the perspective of a small business. If you want to sell things online you're at a competitive disadvantage by not selling on Amazon. There are a number of companies that have cited this frustration. When you do sell on Amazon you're giving up some sales data which Amazon can then use to decide to undercut your product with their basics line, which very possibly comes from the same Chinese manufacturers at lower Amazon-negotiated prices.
I am sorry to have to write this comment as reading the works of Marshall McLuhan or other hack-ish folks like him can upon the first read feel illuminating. I felt the same way when first reading Jean Baudrillard, Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guttari, Micheal Foucault, or Lacan, or Derrida. After a cursory rereading at an age older than 18, I realized how badly I had been deceived.

I just do not buy this idea of "hyperreality", or that somehow media representations meaningfully "distort reality". Actually, the gulf war DID happen (Baudrillard thinks that it didn't because of the media). The map is NOT the territory. The medium is NOT the message (or even a "massage", but maybe a "mass age"). I do not deny that a medium has impact on the message, but this notion of it being identical or even worth speaking about as though they are identical is so alien and absurd to me I cannot even figure out where it started.

I will give credit to Marshall Mcluhan for not writing in an insufferable or "fashionable nonsense" style like the others I have compared him to. He is a fine but definitely overrated author.

Yes, generally the mathematician would write the manuscript & others would turn it into a printable form. IIRC, some people (typographers) created moveable type with math symbols that would then be set in place by a typesetter; if that wouldn't work, a plate for a page would be created. Very expensive & laborious.

I believe that the "backward-E" and later the "upside-down-A" are that way because then you did NOT need to create a new metal symbol; you could simply reuse a capital E and A and put them in upside down. I can't find a citation for this. There's other history here: https://jeff560.tripod.com/set.html

If you know how your application performs and why, you are well equipped for estimating potential impact of patches and hardware. Obviously you still need to profile. In any case complete ignorance should not be the accepted approach.
> What's the appropriate level of abstraction?

The appropriate level of abstraction is to find the deepest level at which your choices can have an impact. The purpose of the exercise in general is to make sure we aren't investing energy into solving a problem when that problem may manifest in different ways. To use the article's example, addressing the problem of "I get distracted by emails" is insufficient if the subject will just look for other ways to be responsive, thus reducing productivity. There's a deeper level at which they can impact the chain of events, so we want to discover that.

In your example, there's nothing we could really do about "when God first created Man, He also created Temptation..." or "investors are greedy". But we can impact "investors are only interested in a company scaling at a certain rate", since we can provide feedback about how the current processes impact scaling rates. That would be a good starting point.

> The concept of a "root" cause is silly, because the roots of a plant spread far and wide and have many different ends. In the analogy, if the plant is the "problem", and the root is a "cause", then there are hundreds of different roots (causes) that contribute to the plant (problem). People are always trying to assign a single "root" cause as if there is one. Many causes contribute to systemic failures, and often times fixing any one of the root causes would have delayed the failure for another cycle, without actually addressing the procedural risk. Your technician accidentally skipped a step, sure, but he skipped a step because he was in a rush, and he was in a rush because he was overworked, and he was overworked because of those damn sales targets, and...
>If we're interested in "root" causes, then we need to end up with a list of several causes that combine to result in the problem. If we only want a single cause, we should call it a "seed" cause, as defined by "this problem (plant) is guaranteed to happen (grow) every time this cause (seed) occurs (is planted)"

I understand what you're saying here, but I feel like you're focusing on the semantics of the argument rather than on its core message.

Really glad this was published. I was looking at airgradient solution for PM2.5 monitoring, but while thinking - saw this @ IKEA and bought it. And it is in my short term plan to wire it with Wemos D1 so I plot values and make sense on whether IKEA air purifier helps anything or not. Because if I follow the LEDs, it's chaos - it can be RED for hours with purifier nearby. And the same without purifier - colors just like to change in my house.

I have a question about precision: If the precision ±20μg/m³ - isn't it actually normal that they "extend" the green led up to 35μg/m³ then? Because that 12μg/m³ is maybe 32? Uh, looks like not even PMS5003 can reliably show you that green line with a high confidence, doesn't it?

Btw here is a nice thread that shows you how to wire it up with Wemos D1 and connect to Home Assistant. People compare their readings with other meters, too. But someone says he bought multiple of those and even those show different numbers. Someone sees IEKA values 10x higher (for lower values, but within specified accuracy) than other sensor https://community.home-assistant.io/t/ikea-vindriktning-air-...

But at least they FOLLOW the plot of more accurate sensors. I see value in that. I want to know if air purifier helps something or how much it helps.
I've been doing this for YEARS and can confirm it's an amazing setup. I'm on my second 43" display. The first was a 4K TV and the new one is an Aorus 4K Gaming Monitor. It's high refresh rate and has a built in KVM switch. Not being a TV it turns on and off as you would expect a monitor to. I love it.

I plan to use this until OLED or equivalent new tech is burn-in proof.
What I used to do, as someone who gamed heavily since middle school (I’m nearly 50):

- Go outside at least once a day (no later than lunch) and get and get a good deal of sunlight. Without glasses.

Preferably more than once a day.

- Take frequent breaks away.
- Crank up the lights.

I can still function and read without glasses, though Covid has taken a toll (eyesight used to be 20/30, until covid; probably more like 30/40 now).
Tesla's calculation comes out to about $200k for equivalent capacity solar plus battery.

Even deducting $25k from that for the cost of the generator and another $10k in required electrical modifications, that would more than double electricity costs (vs the grid) based on 20-yr lifespan and payback, before interest.

> There’s a clear takeaway here, and put simply, it’s that we didn't see much performance difference between the two operating systems.

That's pretty unsurprising since I haven't heard any claims that Windows 11 brings any significant performance improvements, but to be fair that would probably be extremely hard to do since the Windows hardware ecosystem is chaotic, it's not like a new version of MacOS where you're developing something that you know exactly what kind of hardware it's going to be running on. The only other option would be for Microsoft to hold off on improvements to Windows 10 and make them Windows 11 exclusive, which I don't doubt for a second they will as soon as they have something significant enough.

Back office (paperwork reviews and processing) was/is done in India, hence the time zone latency. They tried to make up for it with the web app, but mortgage banking relies on too many people processes (title, survey, appraisal, underwriting [even with automated underwriting and “Day One Certainty”] etc) to wring enough efficiencies to scale in a SaaSy sort of way.

I was in the middle of a refi with them during this and took my business elsewhere. Maybe their SPAC go public plans are running out of runway in a rising interest rate environment.
Wine is great, but it is far off from being a substitute for Windows itself. There’s bound to be not just the obvious bugs and incompatibilities but also think of all of the edge cases that Microsoft have implemented fixes and workarounds for over the years. There is, IMO, simply no way that Wine could ever completely replace Windows on a global scale.

>> It's part of the inductive proof process. Assuming that it holds for n you need to show that it implies that it holds for n + 1 as well.

No. That's wrong. They assert it up front (that it is true for any n horses) and then go on to use it in the proof for n+1. The only time it's OK to assert your claim up front is if you're trying to prove it false by contradiction.

For an inductive proof, you must prove that if it holds for one case (n=1 here) it also holds for the next case. The base case is important and is proven (or obviously) true. A set of n is not the base case here, and they assert something about it without proof.

EDIT: Nope, my dumb. The wording is odd, but for induction we show that it is true for n=X (X is the base case and is 1 in this example). the inductive step is to show that being true for n implies being true for n+1 which is what they did here.

I guess people from villages/provinces would maybe travel quite far to the city to notarize something? But barbers would only cut the hair of the city population.

What surprised me was the many shoemakers.
Maybe. But we learn from the sheer hard work put into this level of testing. And having this level of testing makes you put a bit more effort into each new line.

The bar has been raised. If someone is to make a better embedded DB, they will have to maintain it at least as well as this.

(PS I feel embarrassed by my own testing failures when reading this).
