I keep remembering Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most fondly. I suspect that is where I had come across the most-dense (in good advice) collection of approaches for talking about difficult things with people. I read it in my early 20s and feel like I've been using the recommendations ever since (I'm 36 now). It's written by people involved with the Harvard Negotiation Project after many years of practice with facilitating difficult conversations.

This is a bit meta, but why does everyone refer to a company's revenue instead of profit or margins? Ignoring operating costs, if you manufacture 1M units for 20M dollars and sell them for 19M, you have a revenue of 19M despite losing money, so revenue says almost nothing about a company by itself

I don't know why someone would want to waste time arguing about code style.

Standardizing on things like `cargo fmt`, `go fmt`, and `terraform fmt` remove a ton of nitpicking out the gate. The javascript world can't seem to make up their mind though (jslint is rarely used these days, jshint died, I think eslint is the thing now?)

The similarity to actually observed behavior isn't a coincidence.

You can walk out to the factory floor with a sledgehammer and start smashing things right there in front of everyone. You might even cause quite a bit of damage before someone stops you. But then you're getting arrested.

You can cause just as much damage by wasting everybody's time with organizational politics and "safety first" hand wringing, but then what are they going to say? You're too diligent? So then you get to stay and do it all again tomorrow.

Imagine a manager firing someone for being too concerned about safety.
I'd wonder if the Mathematica code was using fast constructs to begin with.

It's best to think of Mathematica as being similar to Python + Numpy. If you want your code to be fast, you want to spend as much time in the kernel (Numpy) as possible. That's why you'll want to take advantage of functional programming constructs, listable functions, etc. if you want to write fast Mathematica code.

Releasing an open source doesn't mean you have to accept contributions. You don't have to be an open source project.

And as an open source project it is fair to say you don't want a contribution because, you can't foresee future implications, and you don't think the problem it addresses is something you have time to form an opinion on.

This is actually quite a nice sweet spot on the mono/micro spectrum. Most bigger software shops I've worked at had this architecture, though it isn't always formally specified. Different servers run different subsets of monolith code and talk to specific data stores.

The benefits are numerous, though the big obvious problem does need a lot of consideration: with a growing codebase and engineering staff, it's easy to introduce calls into code/data stores from unexpected places, causing various issues.

I'd argue that so long as you pay attention to that problem as a habit/have strong norms around "think about what your code talks to, even indirectly", you can scale for a very long time with this architecture. It's not too hard to develop tooling to provide visibility into whats-called-where and test for/audit/track changes when new callers are added. If you invest in that tooling, you can enforce internal boundaries quite handily, while sidestepping a ton of the organizational and technical problems that come with microsevices.

Of course, if you start from the other end of the mono/micro spectrum and have a strong culture of e.g. "understand the service mesh really well and integrate with it as fully as possible" you can do really well with a microservice-oriented environment. So I guess this boils down to "invest in tooling and cultivate a culture of paying attention to your architectural norms and you will tend towards good engineering" ... who knew?
I know people like to hate on it, but "The 4-Hour Workweek" by Tim Ferris. It made starting a company feel accessible and prompted me to quit my first "real" job to try building something. I've since gone back to "real" jobs but the plausibility of starting a company has stuck with me.

Sports that a mass audience wants to watch is expensive (hence the OP). And establishing a news/talk show brand that people would subscribe to Netflix to get wouldn't be easy (and is probably a very different thing than acting as the studio for scripted shows). [ADDED: And honestly some politically polarized crap would be far more likely to fit that bill than historical network news organizations, however relatively superficial they were in some ways.]

Remember Netflix' incentives are very different from a network. Netflix wants to acquire and retain subscribers which tends to favor stickier content rather than filling up a schedule with programming that people will tune into out of habit.

Put another way, the network business model is essentially a legacy model. I'm not sure why Netflix would want to recreate an uber-Network.
Well, TIL that log4j does log rotation by itself. Really, why the hell does an application need to rotate logs by itself? It can only lead to bad decisions. Now I understand why java servers never seem to have all the information about bugs on their logs.

And looking at the documentation, it has a very Java idea of rotation, where it supports every possible use case as a main case, and the examples expect that you will set it with the most insane defaults from day zero.

I was using Justwatch[0] for a 2017 series and saw I could stream it for free on the Roku Channel[1]. That was a surprise to me, and Roku Channel has some quality stuff, rotating through month by month. In addition, they show some commercials, but with a nice UI feature: a timer in the upper left that shows exactly how long the ads will play. That is a new feature to me. I wish all commercials came with a countdown timer like that.

If I'm reading the table under "fast instruction, slow instruction" correctly, float multiplication has half the reciprocal throughput of integer multiplication, which means float multiplication has twice the throughput.

So, if I want to multiply a bunch of integers together, does this mean it's faster for me to represent them as floats (even though I don't need the additional precision)?

Log4j didn't ever get a single penny from most (all?) of their users, and now they should take all the blame. Why?

The disclosure process was terrible, they clearly had no time to perform a thorough validation of the hotfixes, and this is the result. Why didn't anybody else step up to help them? Did any of the large companies using log4j pour some thousand dollars into the Apache foundation to let a couple of security-oriented engineers take a complete review of the patches?

But then, it's log4j developers and Apache that should be blamed. Bah. That's SO pretentious.
Studying Positive Psychology feels like a good benefit-for-time-spent. A great book on it is Stumbling on Happiness by Daniel Gilbert.

Similar story here. Yes I'm addicted to internet, but no that didn't have any effect on how much I read. Probably because of the habit (did this when I was a kid already): I read about an hour, in bed, right before going to sleep, about 8 out of 10 days. Convenient thing is that my SO does the same. Indeed what I spend on internet time is mostly time taken from creative hobbies. On the other hand I was also not super good at those and it bacame boring after a while.
They are wrong. The term for that is source available.

There is absolutely no reason to have any doubt about the true meaning of the term when this definition is on every search result on Googles first page, in Wikipedia, when it's that name of a non-profit that defines it like that and when the page that literally is called opensource.org defines it like that.

Nothing I wrote had anything to do with 'household'. Even in the first line I talk about managed networks, not some home gamer doodad.

Anyway, the "head of the household" should get out of 1920 and find out about talking to your family like a person and using standard parental controls as validation, not weird policing. If you make your home a battle, people will find the stuff they want elsewhere and not talk to you about it if they have questions.

Is it? That sentiment is

1. Delaying real solutions to a huge international health crisis

2. Mentally harming people who are in that situation and self-hate for having binge eating disorders, or other various conditions causing weight gain and excessive carb consumption.

3. Giving a pass to insurance companies to under cover, or not cover, diabetes 2 patients.

So, yeah, that sentiment is at least harming people, and at most killing people. I don't consider that over the top of a response and it's something an individual can think critically about and change their opinion on.

> The company that created Java went out of business and was sold to Oracle for a fraction of its original worth. So Java was a business failure -- or at least I'd be interested to see someone defend Java as a business success.

Sun and its peers declined because PCs running Linux became good enough; selling commodity hardware is a different business model (https://yarchive.net/comp/sgi_market.html) and it's incredibly difficult to move down market.

Oracle acquired Sun because they didn't want Java be owned by a competitor (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-oracle-alphabet-trial/ora...). Java was also why IBM offered to buy Sun; it seems hard to consider Java a business failure when it's most of the remaining value of the business.
Many years ago I knew an audiophile who got those crazy magazines and catalogues listing CD players for thousands of dollars and cables for hundreds.

One CD player that stood out had all sorts of sales-speak that was obviously bullpoop. For example, it said the CD player "bathes the underside of the CD in blue laser light" to make the data laser work better. There were plenty of other silly voodoo technologies this player offered.

It took a while, but I explained to my friend that bits are bits. If a bit is a one, it's a one. There's no such thing as a "fancy", audiophiles-pay-more-and-get-a-better-version of one. Same with zero.

I told him the bits could be written in crayon, sent across a desert on camelback, and reassembled a year later, and those same bits would still be the same bits

If there are scratches and a player has to correct and guess, that's different, but if your CDs are clean and your clock is good, and you're sending bits digitally to your D/A & amp, there's literally no difference between one player and another. None. Zero.

After an hour and a dozen examples, something clicked in his head and he finally understood. It was very interesting to hear how I blew his mind, and how he'd never see all the sales speak BS the same way again.

As for SSDs, I can see how plenty of cheap computers have noisy electronics which can lead to noisy audio, and how power usage fluctuations can cause noise, but if putting caps on your SSD makes that better, then there are bigger problems.

If you look at operations per cycle, in this example for Intel Haswell processors, you'll find that an equivalent add and multiple are quite a bit different.

An add/subtract from a 32 bit register to register is 0.25 cycles per operation.

A multiply from 32 bit register to register is 2 cycles per operation. So a 8x speed difference, not counting for latency, etc.

There are a handful of companies doing very well with models similar to what you’re describing. I can’t mention specific customers, but I see some of them doing very large scraping volume through our network.

It’s an industry where having a good product is more important than the amount you’re spending on marketing. If developers are happy with your product they’ll take it with them to future companies/projects and share it with colleagues.

It can be a cat-and-mouse development cycle where the sites you target break your functionality and you’ll have customers that will want fixes to be implement ASAP because they rely on your tools to make money.

I don’t know what you’re building exactly, but keep in mind there’s a good chance that you’ll need to commit to long-term, continuous, rapid development cycles if you want to retain customers.

Best of luck!
