Ask your teammates. Communicate.
The role of the CTO grows at the stage were you are immensly but the hardest switch you have to make is to manage people and not projects.
Because, you know you hired people for the projects.

Its OK to not know something, CTO's and principal engineers are not gods of their trade but people who use the synergies presented to them. That is not an archive of man pages that you have produced for your minions, but the combined effort of everyone (technical) involved.

Realizing that you may lack a certain set of information is a perfect point to reach out to someone in your team, who does. You will see that the exact opposite of what you are expecting will happen: people will you value more because you can be reasoned with. See it this way: even if you could theoretically barely program, I wold wager that you have more tech skills than some CTOs the past has brought up. Really successfull ones too.

Even if noone other in your team has the answers to your problem, the solution is still communication. Either hire talent or use freelancers and consultants. That is what we do. But the result its still the same, it's your team that is facing the problem, not the problem facing the team.

On the risk of sounding a bit funny, but maybe you should consider taking a management course?

Green Hydrogen is also good if you absolutely need Hydrogen. In this case, Green Hydrogen at twice the cost of getting it from Natural Gas is still a win.

e.g. steel manufacturing can use Green Hydrogen for the Reduction reaction, as part of the alternate pathway without coal.

>> I wouldn't be surprised if Macs continue to gain market share in the years to come with their CPU lead

>I would!

>CPU alone doesn't sell notebooks to non-tech people on a budget

You’re quite right. If you restrict your market segment of interest to budget products and overall market share, that’s Macs out of the picture before you even start. Apple does not care, at all, about the budget end of the market. It’s irrelevant to them.

Looking at the premium segment, and the market dynamics are completely different. The majority of retail laptops costing over $1k sold are Macs. They also enjoy about tripple the market share among university students that they have in the general market, although that varies greatly by country. The result is that Apple captures roughly 60% of the profits in the desktop/laptop computer market globally.

Aiming for market share would mean accepting much lower profit margins. That’s something they’re just not interested in.

And with templates, you do log.debug("{} {}", var1, var2, someThrowable) and don't even call toString on those unless you're actually logging them.

Compare this to system.err.println("DEBUG: " + var1 + " " + var2 + " " + someThrowable.stackTrace()) -- that creates a StringBuilder, allocates a potentially large String, and then sends it on.

There are numerous performance impacts (improvements) at using a logging framework that doesn't log or allocate a String to log what it doesn't need to.

My friends work blue collar jobs. One loves the mask mandates.

Do you know why?

Because people he meets can no longer see what happens to your teeth when you can't afford a dentist. [1] [2]

Another took full advantage of stimulus and unemployment payments, because with her comorbidities, and lack of health insurance, she didn't want to get seriously sick, or die at her shitty McDonalds job.

The person you're spiting the most by not getting vaccinated is yourself, followed closely by your relatives and coworkers, followed by the rest of your community.

Most of my extended family caught the 'rona' last year, and had beautiful doctor's notes attesting to this fact. Those notes did not stop all of them from catch it again this year. My grandfather (who missed out on getting sick the first time around) nearly died from it, and my grandmother was not in a good way. So much for acquired immunity. If they weren't all vaccinated, it's likely I wouldn't have a grandfather today.

[1] I believe that the technical term for this is 'meth-mouth', but you don't actually have to take any meth, cocaine, or heroin for your teeth to end up looking like that.

[2] And also the obvious reason that he doesn't want sick people to breathe on him.
You should at least be somewhat charitable to the other side of this issue which is that CSAM is the result of real life sexual abuse and the market for it causes more. Unless you want a cop stationed every 10 feet you can't stop the abuse, you can only take away the incentive to do it in the first place which is the theory behind most laws. The reason most people aren't constantly worried about being murdered isn't because we have super advanced defense systems but because the fear of punishment keeps people from doing it.

I'm aware that the majority of HN want the solution to be "do nothing" and some quote about liberty and security but you would probably change your tune if you or your kids were trafficked, starved, raped, and the had the pictures and videos distributed to fetishists online. CSAM detection is the government's best option to kill the market for it and make it radioactive.

At least listen to the experience of human trafficking survivors before you say it's all a big conspiracy. Those scary signs on buses, trains, in women's bathrooms, and doctor's offices aren't a joke.

> When I look at a new feature I just think that I will make it shitty or get called out on not doing things the "right" way.

Why are you implementing features as a CTO? Isn't that what your team is for?
The meta on this is interesting to me. Coding is speaking. Writing code is communicating with the next developer about what you are trying to get the machine to do. In the case of collaborative editing, it is immediately speaking to one or more developers about what you are trying to get the machine to do.

Tools that facilitate this communication are welcome.
Software engineers get to have leverage 100% of the time.

Poor teachers: when I was teaching it was more like 20% of the time, and the other 80% was breaking rocks. Planning, marking, parents, discipline, pastoral care, sports, and straight up babysitting.

That’s a big part of why the pay is so different, in my experience. Teachers have to put in a lot of time and effort to make a diff[erence] and the rest of the work is completely unskilled labor.

For SWEs, the next pull request is only limited by your ability to focus and type.

Cool, yet another created in a vacuum CRDT, GUI, and text editor implementation written in rust.

I don't know if you can say an on-premise badge hosting service would be more reliable than the cloud.
Ah, I got it now. Yeah, it's definitely weird how nulls reproduce themselves in values (when appropriate), but they get treated as zeros or false in boolean conditions. Base R has more consistent behavior, e.g. if you index into a data frame with an NA, the NA will give you a row full of NAs.

Google is unfocused. That's the how the company is designed. It's a federation of VPs, each trying to build a little fiefdom and buy a third bay area house. Sometimes this works well because it fosters competition, but there's a definite lack of coherency.

The libraries being able to log what they do helps a lot when debugging production issues. The application does not see inside cache library or hibernate or what not. They themselves being able to log what they do inside helps a lot.
You need to find other smart people in a similar place but with no skin in your game and rubber duck with them about what you're thinking about.

This has a lot of benefits: you can serve as their rubber duck and help solve their problems which feels great.

You can sanity check your thought process and conclusions. This will help assuage the doubt.

And it's a social connection which helps with anxiety.

Also, go easy on yourself. No one knows the 'right' answer. It's great to look for the best move but it's ok to make a bunch of merely really good moves, too. Allow yourself to accept the context under which your decisions are made.

Don't forget to give yourself space. You're CTO. Delegate the shit out of everything you can, even the stuff you're best at. Call it a growth opportunity for your team. But if you don't give yourself the space to make great decisions, everyone suffers. Avoid the 'busy-ness' trap at all costs. That's not your job.

It's one of those implementational-catnip ideas that steadily converges toward collective bikeshedding whenever it comes up, but which is really tricky to scale/sell/market in practice.

So, it hasn't caught on and been soundly disproven.

Or maybe it's that it hasn't caught on and then done the whole "oh look at all these other companies that were so head of their time" thing...

I can totally see Nintendo wanting to enable you to bring your collection of fancy, rare high-powered guns from Borderlands, carried by your favourite shiny Pokémon, into a no-holds-barred Mario Kart match so you could turn a fun all-ages racing game into an absolute bloodbath. Totally fits with their brand image etc.

Despite the likely bad PR, fiddly intellectual property issues, and the fact auctioning off high value gameplay items to the highest bidder turns games into tremendously boring pay2win experiences, the value in NFTs is that a game company might let players use assets bought or acquired in one game in a different game, even though they could do that already do that by just making private contractual relationships between existing game companies.
Self modifying code on x86 has always been a bit microarch dependent as in the past there was a minimum distance required for the processor to notice the change. This is was one of the tricks anti piracy code used to keep people from reverse engineering it. Changes made close enough to the IP wouldn't be hazarded properly so the stale instruction would be executed anyway. If this code is run under a debugger the extra break/traps would change the behavior and the newer instruction would get executed rather than the stale one. Someone who plays with this on more recent x86's could talk about how this presumably works on modern x86's, but I would guess that if the CPU detects a hazard and has to roll back to a previous state, it probably goes into some kind of strong in order mode around the code in question. This might mean modern processors behave better than some older models, but likely there is a absolutely massive perf hit when this happens (think > 10x). On something like an arm or risc-v(?) without coherent I-D caches this "window" could basically be forever, it makes an interesting question around security because in theory its possible to have code being executed for extended periods of time which isn't actually visible anywhere due to page/cache invalidation not clearing stale cache lines.
I don't think what's going on in Ethiopia is very well known either.
Yea that is about right. Given the knowledge and requests I had at the time I solved it the best way I knew how. No one opts for worse it just happens from time-to-time given business constraints.

Well, you didn't just find a cave, it was made for you by other people. Interdependence is a hallmark of social species such as Homo Sapiens. Even your caveman ancestors were probably reliant on one another in many ways.

>It seems that someone asked the great anthropologist, Margaret Mead, “What is the first sign you look for to tell of an ancient civilization?” The interviewer had in mind a tool or article of clothing. Ms. Mead surprised him by answering, “a healed femur (thigh bone)”. When someone breaks a femur, they can’t survive to hunt, fish or escape enemies unless they have help from someone else. Thus, a healed femur indicates that someone else helped that person, rather than abandoning them and saving only themselves.

Yes even in US public schools, and even for relatively new hires, the benefits can be pretty great. Time off, retirement, etc. And it's still possible to get into administration and make what an entry-level SWE makes. Hell, when I was in HS in the very early 00's there was a big scandal in my area because we found out the district superintendent was making $200k/yr. For context, most of my friends' parents worked blue collar and manual labor jobs. Teachers averaged $44k/yr or so back then.
Not trying to be cheeky: How many millions of citizens here in the U.S. will abstain from a potential cancer vaccine if based off this research? Would the same religious/tribal objections be held, for example, if the disease to be prevented was cancer vs a virus of unknown origin? Would it still be viewed by so many as a political/big-pharma conspiracy ("But where did the cancer come from?" etc.)?

Cynical me says it would.
Cannot agree with this recommendation enough. I bought the book and read it, and it's excellent reporting.
Why they pulled the scanning was because of customer backlash. Fallout is yet to be seen what governments especially when Apple switches to not having access the keys to decrypt iCloud photos and documents. And moves iCloud backups to being encrypted. One high profile crime especially involving children and we’ll see government propose escrowed keys. UK is already proposing it. I am not saying it’s right or wrong. I do believe consumers anger at Apple is the wrong target. If they want change, get governments to pass laws that guarantee encryption as a “right”.

That is unfortunately not the reason.
There are 2 main reasons why today (GNU) command line utilities have a lot of options:
1). GNU. Apparrently they like to add features to programs
2). Herritage of SYSV/BSD. Traditionally BSD options were different from SYSV and the new GNU utilities were made to understand both.

True, fruit and nut-based food forests, like those in the Pacific Northwest [1], seem to provide a significant, sustainable food source. Berries make a nice dessert + vitamins a few times a year.

Historically here in Maine, the core diet seems to have been seafood, freshwater fish, maize, Capreolinae, game birds, eggs, honey, roots, and greens. While only a tiny fraction of fish/seafood remain, deer are over-populated and make a fine sustainable food source, the limitation mostly being the contemporary appetite for venison.

Closer to the peak of the events, Rohingya human rights were brought up far more “incessantly” than, say, Ethiopian human rights were at the time (heck, even more than Ethiopian human rights are now.) Its not a current focus of attention the way current events in Ethiopia are, so you don’t hear as much about it today, and if you have a short attention span maybe you’ve forgotten about the coverage.

They're talking about capture by value or reference. If you use capture by value, created closures will use the value of captured variables at the time the closure is generated.

e.g. in C++, where one has to make capture by reference explicit

int i = 0;
auto f = [x = i, &y = i] { //x captures i by value, y by reference
std::cout << "Value:" << x << ", Reference:" << y;
};
i++;
f();

will print out "Value: 0, Reference: 1".
