How about monorepo vs multirepo
Yup. I am concerned, because it sounds like a lack of mentoring on a technical and an organizational level. I've made similar mistakes and I dislike it, but my lesson is: a junior should have mentors they can lean upon and draw into meetings for technical and political support. Or lean upon just whenever. It can grow overbearing if the junior doesn't grow wings, but under-mentoring and seeming abandonment inside the org can be much, much worse.

Like, why are they complaining about this on hacker news? They should be venting to their manager (we can see why that fails), or some engineer with some clout they trust. If they don't have these avenues, that can turn sour quickly.
Good for them, but I (as a EU citizen) don't care about projects like this.
It is a soulless copy-cat of a much more famous, profitable, free and useful project.
Just look at the logo, what is that line in the middle and why is its stroke with bigger then the other stock icon embedded in the icon.
I know I'm knitpicking but it says something about the character of the project and NLnet. This is woke IT, as long as it is decentralised it is somehow better than other software no matter how crapy the UX.

And please don't tell me it is open source software and I can contribute something, like I have time for that. Just take my money and shut up instead of, you know, using my tax money for stuff I don't care about. Thanks for listing to my TED talk.
Seems more likely than people think. Both sides now work hard to silence opposing or even moderate viewpoints.

Even our dictionary definitions are moving more extreme, someone pointed out a few weeks ago that the definition of anti-vaxer for example now includes anyone that opposes any vaccine mandate.

There's very little engagement on ideas or push to get closer to truth.
If the media is to be believed I could see it. There’s so much hate in Trump/MAGA/QAnon country and they’re armed so…

What’s really scary is the quiet coup happening. All across the country the GOP is gerrymandering in its favor, putting forward Stop the Steal acolytes for key positions so that when the time comes to not certify they can.
> Your boss is gaslighting & intimidating you.

The person giving the feedback was the boss's boss, and they clearly didn't have the entire picture of the situation.

That's not gaslighting. The term "gaslighting" gets thrown around far too readily. Assuming malice and manipulation in cases of miscommunication is a quick way to sour any relationship, this one included.

There's no question that communication wasn't great in this scenario, but I don't see any reason to believe it's malicious or manipulative. The OP needs to work on proactive communication, but receiving unfiltered feedback from above is much better than blindly continuing down the same path without ever being informed that something is wrong.

Learn from it, adapt, and move on. Don't assume it's "gaslighting" or manipulation every time two people have different perspectives on a situation due to miscommunication.
first of all, congrats on finding a great job with smart colleagues and fun problems.

you need to be able to put this aside for the moment.
as in, not the the useful advice, but agonising over 'fair'.

I've had negative feedback that I thought was exaggerated.
How I dealt with it was to take on the feedback nonetheless, because I wanted to satisfy to myself that the criticism while valid was not a useful perspective on my work.

I've also had negative feedback that I was convinced was totally misplaced.
How I dealt with it was to sympathise with my manager's position: they were obviously having difficulties with their own responsibilities.

I've also once had negative feedback that I had to admit was totally valid.
How I dealt with it was to realise that my colleagues wanted me to perform at a higher level. I took their advice on what changes to make in my work, and went on to enjoy many more years in that role.

The first few years of my career were punctuated with consistent positive feedback, and I think I was the worse for it. Any mistakes I made were treated as aberrations, and for a few years I never got any advice about how to be better. Instead I got totally unhelpful declarations of brilliance that did nothing to help me grow.

quite likely your boss and your manager are more at fault in this scenario, but if so, you need to let them be wrong this time. As others here have suggested, I'd encourage you to pursue regular progress reviews with your immediate report.
Is it possible to edit the dictionary used for the auto completion? Is it possible to edit the characters it inputs from the defaults, even to characters not in the English alphabet? Which operating systems is it compatible with?
I'm probably being stupid, but are the down votes due to scepticism about the veracity of my comment?
This is why I don't want electronic gizmos (nav systems a particularly good example) in my car.

You have a phone that can do GPS and navigation, and probably do it better than the software in your car. The phone is much more easily replaced than the built-in navigation unit, should it stop working for any reason. The phone works the same way in all cars. The phone gets software updates easily and seamlessly.

Quit putting unecessary technology in cars. It will only cause expensive problems in 5 or 10 years, because it will be utterly obsolete by then and unfixable.

The car should not care what the date is. It should not care what time it is. The clock in my car says 12:00. Why? Because I have never bothered to set it. I don't care, and I have the correct time, accurate to the millisecond, on my phone.

The technology in the car should only be about running the engine and transmission and other essential systems in the car.
Ten+ years into the DL revolution and we are still getting shallow hit piece articles like this from IEEE.

Look, everyone will jump on the ART bandwagon if it ever actually beats deep learning. Machine Learning is a very empirical field! But all the people throwing rocks at Deep Learning have failed to propose anything that actually works better.
The Economist, despite being one of the few journalism outlets still worth reading, is not immune from the economics (pun only partly intended) of mass market media.

I'm a big fan of Sonos products but this ruling won't go through, right? Doesn't this effectively make Sonos the only legal manufacturer of wireless speaker systems? It's not like two speakers individually playing L and R channels is a novel concept... Plus it apparently bans imports on "Google Home smart speakers, Pixel phones and computers, and Google’s Chromecast streaming video device".
I've seen this happen a lot. 9 times out of 10, it's actually not about your specific job performance, but actually about setting expectations (which it turns out, IS part of your job)

Your boss doesn't know all the details, but they see the end result (a delay), so they jump in and critique everything in sight.

What they probably need is to be looped in throughout the project and made aware of major decisions that change the end result or whatever it is that they care about (timeline / impact of the work).

Here's a template I use for managing expectations upwards: https://www.notion.so/Manage-your-manager-26a26b82bd824f97bf...
It refers to the domains federating via the ActivityPub protocol. Software or deployments of software able to talk to each other via ActivityPub are referred to as the Fediverse.
It seems overly simplistic to say he won because of constant media exposure. The 2016 election was a white nationalist backlash against both political parties. Trump’s catering to this surely had quite a lot to do with his victory.

You are describing the project I'm building: https://linklonk.com

You connect to RSS feeds when you "thumb up" or directly submit a link that this feed posted. The more of the content you like from the same feed - the more other content from that feed will be prioritized. So feeds that post too frequently naturally go down in the ranking. And feeds that have a high signal-to-noise ratio are at the top.

On LinkLonk I am subscribed to 202 RSS feeds (you can see your subscriptions here https://linklonk.com/feeds), and I don't get overwhelmed by too much content.

You also connect to people who like the same content as you did. In that case each user is similar to an RSS feed (a user has "channels"). The more in common you have with a user - the more content you see from them.

No obnoxious adverts, no trackers and it's free. Would love to get any feedback (email in profile).
Because this is your first full time professional position, I'm inclined to accept that some of the criticisms are genuine and you have a growth opportunity to learn from them.

BUT

The part that bothers me, as someone who has been in this industry for almost 25 years and leads teams, is that your manager was not in that meeting with you. That I find absolutely unacceptable.

Your manager is not just the person you report to. They are also responsible for your success and they should be your advocate. This type of feedback should be coming from them, not the higher-ups.

The higher-ups should look to your manager to manage, and your manager should look to you to accomplish your duties. The higher-ups should not have enough insight into the day to day minutia of your project to know to point the finger at you. They should get status reports from the project manager and if things aren't going smoothly they will ask why, but a good PM will point the finger at themselves and protect their team. And if there is a problem with an individual team member they will address that one on one in private before escalating.

If that feedback is not addressed then the project manager may escalate to your direct manager/boss who is then responsible to work with you more. Again, one on one in private.

If, after all of that ... things still aren't improving, then it can be escalated to HR and they can take additional action. But unless you are leading a project, you are not accountable for the success of that project as a whole and - I'm going to sound like a broken record here but - any direct feedback pertaining to you individually should come from the project manager or your direct manager.

Under no circumstances should you have been in a meeting with your boss's boss to discuss your performance without your direct boss being present.

The thing that would be troubling me the most, if I were you, is the question: "Why did this happen? Why are you on your boss's boss' radar at all?"

The implication of that question really bothers me. It implies that your manager(s) might have thrown you under the bus to cover their own ass.

Absolutely evaluate the feedback and see if you can grow from it. But I would have a conversation with your boss and basically call them out for not being there to advocate for you. And ask them how such an inappropriate meeting was allowed to transpire in the first place. You deserve answers.
This gets me curious about a Japanese version.

Due to the larger number of basic characters (46) Japanese smart phone input already uses flick-joystick like motions, with pretty amazing speed (for a smart phone). The 46 basic characters are input using 10 keys with 5 directions each: in (press), left, up, right, down.

Does CharaChorder support a press as well, or just left/up/right/down?
One interesting effect this will have is to disable OTA updates, if it happens with https. The client (the car) will see the server cert as invalid because its not valid yet. If your laptop dies, and it's on motherboard battery dies, you won't be able to use the https web until you update your clock to be at least roughly correct.
I almost wonder if empathy is the right word then, maybe this would best be described as something like "susceptibility to emotional contagion." Empathy as commonly defined includes an impulse to comfort and stand by, as opposed to avoidance.
Well, the author does say that he's not making wild predictions, but only extrapolating trends that are already in motion and well-known to him and his 1922 audience.
It's not like making their own cpus and switching back to intel/amd are the only options anyway.

It seems more likely that other arm processors will catch up to intel/amd, and in that case they won't need to necessarily always make their own processors as long as they can just get another company to add support for any custom instructions they use.
Or rather: it's the latest date we are legally required to support this piece of software on these old cars on any tier-one country.

Agile Estimation Theatre
That reminds me of the web dev space around 2000. Everybody wanted you to be proficient in crap like Front Page and Dreamweaver, or other clunky CMS/IDE combos. I built fast pages and CSS in a text editor, but unless I had their pet tool on my resume, they silently binned my resume.

I still loathe IDEs, because they appear to me to be pure bloatware that wants to even help you pee. (Command line linters work just fine, IMO. I don't need to run bloatware to find typos and syntax errors.)

I put my voice in in English and asked for English back. The output mostly sounded the same, but the interesting thing was that it had some music playing in the background, like the ambient kind you might hear in a YT video while a narrator talks.
It seems like you are already analyzing the mistakes you made and will adjust in the future accordingly, so you’re already many steps ahead of many of the less successful engineers I’ve worked with. Many of them will just blame everyone and everything else for poor outcomes rather than accepting responsibility and trying to improve in the future.

My main advice: always under-promise and over-deliver. Managers don’t see code typically, they usually are more focused on deadlines. Be very pessimistic when discussing deadlines. Take your initial estimate and double it to account for potential problems. Be very clear about risks beforehand. And lastly, no one cares if you wrote some chunk of code or if someone under you did, all they care about is knowing who lead the team that delivered it on time. Be that person and you will be successful at almost any company.
I wonder in which category OnlyFans, Chaturbate, etc. fall? Normally porn is quick with adopting new tech. (or don't they accept crypto?)
In psychology undergrad, I read about a study of anorexic people: they had people rate their own attractiveness, and had strangers rate their attractiveness. Normal population consistently rated themselves higher in attractiveness than strangers did on average. However, anorexic's self ratings were much closer to stranger-ratings.

(May not be remembering this correctly and I assume this study was done in the 90s when thinness was more in fashion - wouldn't be surprised if it didn't replicate if done today)

See also: dunning kruger effect.

My takeaway is that the 'normal' human brain lies to itself in many ways which protect the ego. Some disorders are caused not by disconnection from reality, but rather too accurate a view of reality.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are many autistic traits that have a similar origin: the brains socio-protective instinctual lies are failing, and autistic people are actually acting more rationally.
Always sad to see this kind of thing happen, and I feel for the truffle farmers of Périgord, France. Americans are also trying to do the same with kava.

Inevitable the native peoples of the world end up in poverty while some Johnny-come-lately capitalist in the US eats their breakfast.
Of course, I love the spoils of technology and automation as much as anyone else.

But it is absolutely human nature to get used to things and not consider them magical anymore, things simply become the new norm. This is exactly what happened with feedback controllers like airplane autopilot systems (1912 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopilot)

I've worked for a number of years on industrial robotics, which sounds very similar to your definition of "AI": real physical machines that take data from various sensors, including spatial sensors, make sense of them in real time, and decide how to optimally interact with the physical environment, with safety critical systems in mind. I hardly think about such systems as AI, more simply engineering, math, and a lot of coding.
I often see anarchists romanticizing primitive society with revisionist ideas about conflict and quality of life.

Can you give an example of such utility? Frankly, I don't see it - in my opinion, the best options are either not having genderized pronouns at all (and that's the option I'd actually prefer), or expressing the whole range of identities with them. Going somewhere in the middle is nothing more than just asking for dissonance to happen, which isn't useful.
Yeah increasingly scientists have to pay. It has become the 'principled' thing to make the publishers richer in the name of open access. Sometimes there are waivers for researchers from developing countries. Unfortunately funding bodies haven't universally caught up to the expanded $ needs. Nor have institutions.

There is a model with journals like PeerJ with relatively cheap APCs and a deal where you could sign up for a life membership and publish there indefinitely (but I think coauthors would need to as well). They also only publish based on scientific merit and aren't selective on 'impact', which is good. However, that means they aren't seen as prestigious, so you can't exactly build a career and get promotions going that route.

RE: peer review, in part bc of disruptions due to COVID journal editors have been having a harder time getting people to volunteer to peer review. There has been a lot of talk about moving to a model where reviewers get paid, but again that seems like it would set up some perverse incentives.

RE: Nobel, I don't think it is about citations, pretty sure the judge the impact of a particular body of work/discovery/contribution, qualitatively.
Just to quote Wikipedia as it reflects what fediverse means quite well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse

> The Fediverse (a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe") is an ensemble of federated (i.e. interconnected) servers that are used for web publishing (i.e. social networking, microblogging, blogging, or websites) and file hosting, but which, while independently hosted, can communicate with each other.

Usually they talk about ActivityPub, as a growing number of services are based on this (or similar).

Do you know how much you can paste from an existing story in NovelAI (like number of words) to continue off of? Like I've got some 2500 word stories I never got around to writing an ending (I struggle with endings in general), that maybe I could paste into NovelAI and see where it goes from there. Might help me finally finish the damn things, they've been sitting in a folder for a couple of years now.
Bad advice.

I hate generalities.

Last time I left a firm, there was 12 months notice (and the decision was mutual). That was the right choice for both sides.

The organization I'm working at right now, it's not uncommon to give years of notice, mostly heading for retirement.

Most tech companies are definitely two weeks, but that's far from the universe.

There's a typo in the article's headline. It should read:

"How Your Boss Would Like You to Quit"

I've always found the sociology of work fascinating, and how it can vary so much from industry to industry. When I read statements like:

> Your team trusted you and depended on you. It’s unethical to screw them over because they’re not paying you any more.

I wonder what their world view is, and why they think you're screwing them over and not the manager/company screwing them over. I see this often in society where there is a large imbalance of power: The weak turn on the weak rather than turn on those in power.

> Again, it’s unethical!

Leaving the team at short notice is unethical? You may want to look into how such a notion came into place, and who it benefits more.

Similarly, I often call out people at work who start throwing the words "professionalism" or "unprofessional" around. What do they think it means and why do they think that? It is fascinating.

There is some good stuff in the article. While I do believe one should treat the management and company well if they treat you well, I also tell people that they should never forget that if they can drop you at no notice, you don't owe them any more than that. Staying 2 weeks or longer is a courtesy, and not a sign of professionalism.

Just today got an email from a coworker who moved to another company some years ago. Her manager who she got along with very well recently jumped ship to another company, and her life is miserable under the new manager. Even if you have a great manager, always remember that they can (and probably will) leave. Plan your career accordingly.
