I'm definitely not qualified to claim what's the right and wrong way of doing it but I've never dedicated even a single day solely on meditation in my life.

Usually I was kind of like "phew, I feel tired and stressed, time to lay down with eyes closed for a bit", and it all evolved naturally from there (similarly to the so-called power naps of 30 minutes).

So at least the key for my success in mediation was to treat it like a damage mitigation technique and nothing else. And for me that works very well.
Exactly, it's like saying talented artist end up becoming Museum Managers.
I work with a developer who's in his 50s. He chose not only to stay in development but also to stay on the front end where he turns out beautiful and beautifully effective UIs using Angular.

He enjoys his job, earns great pay and plenty of stock and has the respect of his managers and junior colleagues. He has helped the engineers around him perform to a higher level and teaches, but he loves creating through code and is very good at it. He also has earned enough trust and is productive enough that when he says "The snow is great today, so I'll be skiing," that's just understood as his privilege.

So that's what happened to one person.
The article implicitly conditions the strategy space on remaining an employee (or an employee-equivalent contractor) of a tech company.

Somewhat surprisigly it omits the relatively common option of becoming a long term planner (a.k.a. "paper pusher"), whether in product or engineering.

The options space outside of the Borg includes the following areas:
- Becoming an engineering associate at a non technical organization, for example by automating or adapting standard tech tools to legacy industries.
- Becoming a researcher (whether in an engineering field or one that requires engineering ability, e.g. computational biology - warmly recommended, BTW)
- Starting your own business that creates platforms/business cases that would otherwise not exist.

Bungie in its day was very grounded and in-tune with "the player experience". The team would play the game with each other at the end of every day and have fun doing it. Only things that made the game more fun were put in.

As for storytelling in the campaigns: it was a space opera complete with mysticism and an epic journey. It's really hard to stretch that into a never-ending story, but the books have done well. The games have not. The first problem is in making the self-insert chief a human. It was obvious from the beginning. When I played Halo 4 I had a mental list of all the ways the creative direction dropped the ball. There's something that 343's culture has never understood about the Halo games. They think it's a Michael Bay film because the audience is young men but it's more like Star Wars V.

This is a highlight reel of what I'm talking about.

No agile meetings (those extras that are not really in agile apirit, but managers think they are :D). I get to work on what i wqnt and when i want. Its fun, but as dev you should be full stack for it or have someone ready to come in when you hit the wall while configuring servers or needing to use some tech that you'd need to learn and its no time/place for learning.

Ditto on "lotsa". To the point caffeine no longer amps me up but rather just keeps the migraines at bay. Pondering my addiction many years in the past, I decided to try an experiment where I drank a few sips of coffee before going to sleep. It did, and still does, increase my lucidity & retention during/after sleep cycles. I have vivid dreams with self awareness pretty much most nights, and a experience a surprisingly large amount of content during power naps(15-45 minutes). This is still a drop in the bucket compared to my dreams when I was a teen & 20-something, however. I haven't been able to 'fly away' or soar like I did when younger, nowadays I merely wake-up when things start down a dark path(*Covid induced nightmares, were a rare exception; the 1st night terrors I've had in decades).

You're avoiding the answer, and I understand you, it's hard to come with an answer when your design have bugs.

But smart contracts are immutable pieces of code that act on their own.

If Alice dies Bob get his money.

There no way to stop it from happening.

the chain is a useless tinsel in this example of yours, it makes things more complex and guarantees no one.

The law already encodes tons of conditions that a smart contract could never comply with.

What if Bob is a minor or the employer is a minor?

That would make the contract void in real life.

Should people publish their personal info on the public blockchain so that the smart contract can exclude them from proposing or accepting a job?

And how do you check that the informations are correct?

What if Bob is an immigrant running from a regime and has no way to prove who he is, but needs the job to survive?

etc etc

you'd need to basically recreate what government do today, without the enforcement of the law capability.

If they are being described as belonging to a certain type of books, I don't think you have to read them to have an opinion. Like if a book is described as "feminist", you can have a pretty good idea of its contents.
Of course it is possible to exploit the psychology of the opponent. Bluffing does exist in chess, and it relies on your opponent's inability to realize that you've made a sub-optimal move. For example, at the highest levels, grandmasters often attempt to increase the amount of complications in a position, which is a way of making the claim that "I can calculate more moves, more quickly, than you"; if that isn't true, then it is a bluff, which doesn't mean it won't work.

But in a solved position, the best move is irrefutable. Perfect play by both opponents in a solved game always leads to a draw (e.g. tic-tac-toe, checkers). In chess, the best move in a solved position always also anticipates every possible response by the opponent. This is the entire point of opening theory, and is why chess players speak of "punishing" their opponents; if I play an ideal move in a solved position, and you play a less-than-ideal move in response, I have already gained an advantage.
That's only the case if the manager meddles in technology and doesn't know how to delegate properly (or hire properly). I would say a manager who does those things is inherently a manager who can't scale and is unlikely to ever work well with senior technical people.

As a manager my goal is to use as little of my technical knowledge as possible but rather to let my senior technical leaders do that part instead. I've got so many other things to handle and deal with that being technical except at a high level seems silly.
Are you argumenting in good faith that somehow I said that violent crimes should be solved by mathematics?

I said that the legal system works not because of it's complexities or how authoritative the costumes of law enforcement or judges look, but exclusively by the threat of having your liberty taken away from you.

Violent offenders should still be dealt with violence.

But voting? Public policy? Public spending tracking? Economic activity between two private entities? There is no longer need for the threat of a central authority with a monopoly on violence to ensure the proper functioning of those things. Satoshi showed we can have decentralized proof of trust.
Yes, in EUrope its much harder to fire employ than contractor. In some countries you need stuff like 3 written warnings and so on
I do not recognize your parents experience in the EU, but yes, here employees are very protected while contractors are not. Still, outside the certainly of employment, even in the EU, I know only positives when contracting. Things like tax and insurance optimizing you cannot really do as employee and now with WFH, it is possible to optimize even more. And if you have a trackrecord, it is easy to get other projects. Note: I am getting close to 50y/old.

Edit; another thing which you can do as contractor and typically not as employee, is take retainers. When a project is done and the company does not need me anymore, they can retain me for n hours per months that I will spend on that project no matter what else I am doing; and they pay no matter if they use the hours or not. Similar is, and I have done that too, an SLA on the project you helped deliver. But that is far more dangerous as others might have continued working on it, so I don't do that anymore.
agree.. I really like scala and Li's blog and book have helped me immensely. I use it mostly for spark, but I've found it really useful now for other things. The concurrency really is pretty nice (compared to other languages). His API's are written in the same way as his blog and his book: zero condescension; he's not constantly trying to impress you. This seems to be the problem with the language.. the language allows you to really go nuts if you want to and the result can be an incomprehensible type system that takes a week of hacking just to figure out what it wants you to do. That said, json4s isn't terrible.
Read it in the context of OP's question - GP is suggesting squashing all history and not worrying about it, as OP alluded to.
Here's a possible practical idea:

1) run the full contents of HEAD into a space-separated list of tokens considered "okay".

2) dump out the full history into a space-separated list of tokens, filter out everything in the "okay" list, and list what's left.

You might want to set up some sort of incremental regex filter thing to chew through the list efficiently.

But if you implicitly trust HEAD as "incontrovertibly okay" this might filter out a lot of tokens for you.
There's a halting problem though. Once could be 10000 hours. At some point everyone snaps out of it and remembers they are not a paperclip producing AI but a human.

The "talent" we need is definitely not technical. Software projects are a magnitude more about "people" and "negotiation" than it is "how do do this technical widget efficiently" and "how can we make this arch scale" (these are all relatively solved problems, despite us trying to reinvent the wheel). Even projects that fail due to, on the surface, technical problems are actually a result of people and leadership, and the effect they have on the project.

This is the part that I think a lot of technical people really misunderstand, hence all the negative sentiment about turning developers into managers. A stellar incredible "10x" team of super talented developers can not negate the bad people dynamics within a project caused by bad leadership or lack thereof.

My purpose out here today is to share this article to the world about how Doctor Odunga helped me in getting back my ex-boyfriend that broke up with me 4 months ago. I tried all I could to make him see reasons with me so that we can continue our relationship but he denied me. Thank God for giving me the thought of going into the internet to search for help. I searched properly and I saw different reviews on Doctor Odunga and I insisted on giving it a try by contacting him via whats-app on (+2348167159012) and email. He gave me reason to live again and after He prepared the spell, He told me that my ex-boyfriend will come back to me within 28 hours. Can you believe it that my ex-boyfriend really came back and our wedding will be held soon. Contact him now if you need any help. Email: odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and he does a lot of spells. Once again I want to say I'm very grateful for your help

While I kinda agree that you have to be careful with your abstractions, I see no harm getting familiar with some of the concepts that these libraries use.

Being able to just implement a Monoid and then use it to do nested aggregation in maps is pretty neat, for example.

Flawed premise. Why does everyone assume it's a promotion?

I assume the opposite (and it's been true the vast majority of times over a 30+ year career).
Hi!

Author here.

> This seems to be more a simple programming language than a shell.

Currently it's only a programming language. The interactive part will be implemented in the NGS language itself.

> simple programming language

Since simple is relative: NGS is simpler than Java and more complex than awk I would say. NGS has exceptions, types with inheritance, multiple dispatch, guards (additional conditions to invoke a method), basic functional programming support, patterns, (new, in progress) facility for deeply nested data manipulation, automatic parsing of command line arguments when invoking the optional main(), threads, domain-specific syntax and facilities for running external programs and file manipulation.

Simplicity is one of the language goals but not over expressive power.

> A shell is first and foremost a UI, only secondarily a scripting language...

I'm having hard time to agree or disagree. There is a lot of interactive usage but there are also a lot of scripts in bash. When I see the scripts I wish bash was "more of a programming language".

> foremost a UI

... where surprisingly little innovation happened over the last decades. It's like in the movies when there is an object in the center of the screen and the whole world is rapidly changing around it. That object is the shell. My plans for UI are at https://github.com/ngs-lang/ngs/wiki/UI-Design .

> easily take a series of commands you'd do manually and put them in a script

You can do it in NGS and even in this simplest use case it will be better than bash - in case of an error the execution will stop (like with -e in bash) and NGS will print stack trace (which I don't know how to do in bash and not sure it can be done in a sane manner).

Edit: $a will expand to exactly one argument (as opposed to zero or more), rm -rf "$mydir/" will throw exception if mydir is undefined. Typical things which are expected from modern programming languages.

NGS uses small subset of syntax from bash so running external programs in the simple forms looks the same.

Bad. Very bad. You may 50% more at the very best case at the cost of being tied to your current organization. The problem with manager job is there is no way to prove your individual value. This is very problematic during job switch.
Any game with voiced dialogue is either going to have one single story, a bunch of little threads that don't interact much, or both. Some games might give you a bit of wiggle room to get most or all of the content in a single playthrough; but usually that's going to be a fairly rigid solution since any slack time translates to a slowed narrative pace for casual players. It will likely look like a movie, but with some choose your own adventure cutting-room-floor edits and maybe player controlled pacing.
Very good summary of why small projects need to think real hard before jumping onto microservices bandwagon.
With 100% certainty you can't but you generally get a feeling that something is off, in the case of an actual straight out and out cheat it's easier because typically 1500 rated players don't calculate accurate exchanges 12+ply deep.

The "smarter" cheats use the engine only when they need to and those are harder to spot but again it's moves that make no "sense" with the direction of play - be like playing sunday league football and having the chubby dude with the beard take of down the pitch like Messi.

Mostly they catch them by running engine(s) over the games afterwards and looking for correlation between moves played vs what the machine wanted to do.

The funny ones are the players who drop a piece from a blunder then immediately start playing like Kasparov for the rest of the game.
The best chess engines in the world operate at a ~3500 rating level. For context, Magnus Carlsen's peak rating was 2882 (i.e. the highest rating ever achieved by a human).

Combinations of human+engine operate at a ~3800 rating level.

I take your point, and it is a good one, but you've drawn too strong a conclusion. We haven't yet reached the point where the human adds nothing to the game.
You are correct. I suggest you look up the paper Stasohi Nakamoto published about a proposed solution for a mechanism of enforcement :)

I don't expect Assange to get murdered in the US, but I swear, if he does, all the people here who are talking about how the US would never do that and how shocking it would be if they did, these same people would be rushing to rationalize it away and say it's perfectly normal and Assange was a security threat and countries do what need to perserve national security or whatever.

Most people understand raise in human hierarchy as a promotion. Few deal with increasingly difficult technical tasks on the daily basis.

Simple problem:

Developers want more money for more experience.

At a certain point, more experience does not make them more effective developers.

If they want to justify higher salaries, but can not be more effective on their own, they need to multiply their experience by making other developers more effective.

The organizational problem is that most companies see management as the only way to do that, but not everyone can and likes to be a manager.

We as developers have to make sure we promote mentoring, tool and framework building, system architecture and such topics as viable paths upward. Otherwise, managers will only have managing as an idea of how someone can create more value.

Excuse me, do we need all that complexity? Telling that it is "hard" is justifiable?

It is naive to assume people bashing AWS are uncapable to running things better, cheaper, faster, across many other vendors, on-prem, colocation or what not.

> Outrage is the easy response.

That is what made AWS get the marketshare it has now in the first place, the easy responses.

The main selling point of AWS in the beginning was "how easy is to sping a virtual machine". After basically every layman started recommending AWS and we flocked there, AWS started making things more complex than it should. Was that to make harder to get out of it? IDK.

> Empathy and learning is the valuable one.

When you run your infrastructure and something fails and you are not transparent, your users will bash you, independently who you are.

And that was another "easy response" used to drive companies towards AWS. We developers were echoing that "having a infrastructure team or person is not necessary", etc.

Now we are stuck in this learned helplessness where every outage is a complete disaster in terms of transparency, multiple services failing, even for multi-region and multi-az customers, we saying "this service here is also not working" and AWS simple states that service was fine, not affected, up and running.

If it was a sysadmin doing that, people will be asking for his/her neck with pitchforks.
