Community college?
Just reviewed the rules, and I'm not entirely sure which one I broke, but I apologize if you took offense.
I don’t think the story takes a position on who is right at what level (and, in fact, it sounds like the story teller herself concedes that leadership should be digging into why their teams are saying “red light” when it’s a green light).

I think the story should be ingested as “we don’t know why someone else can’t obviously see what we see; that problem itself warrants investigations perhaps before any conversation about what to do next.”

As it turns out, our company is currently having this problem: the market and employees of my company are screaming at the leadership to not follow through on a business plan, but leadership has their head buried in the sand and are bound and determined to move ahead because all they see is green lights.

And sure, there’s enough anecdotes out there about people zagging when everyone else zigs, but I think an unspoken prerequisite to those anecdotes is that you at least made sure you understood why they were zigging.
That's also how hybrid supercars and the current batch of Formula 1 cars work. For nearly a decade now, F1 cars have been turbocharged engines running electric motors, putting down something like 800-1000hp in the process and running an entire race on one small tank of fuel. I think they're down to 1.6L V6 now.

The Chevrolet Volt used a similar principle as well, as opposed to the Prius and its more complicated mechanical duel-drive train.
The latter is more likely than the former, and I’d suspect reconnaissance to add to that support.

We’ve driven the west-coast corridor a bunch and contemplated several getting a different brand EV to go with our Tesla. Often seen/watched/checked-on-ABRP the EA sites down to just one or two working CCS chargers e.g. at Woodbury, OR. It put us off this year at least.
All I can say is it is incredibly useful, not just O’Reilly but they have got collections from a lot of other publishers. It is really useful as a reference or when you want to deep dive into something new. To top it, if you get to complete couple of books cover to cover, it is even better.

I can’t say whether it is worth the subscription fee. I have got my employer to cover for my subscription for the last 2 years, but not sure if I will be willing to pay it out of my pocket.
The point is that in this case the common belief happens to agree with science.

Saying something controversial or inflammatory and then accusing other people of getting riled up is pretty much trolling 101.
> if you learn C well, you're basically employable for the next 30 years. I think I agree with that.

In embedded systems programming, right? It must take significant C expertise and experience to be gainfully employed. Maybe I'm overthinking it?
RFC1888 is obsolete.

There is even a subsequent RFC whose title is, exactly, "RFC 1888 Is Obsolete":

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4048

Moreover, RFC1888 never moved beyond "experimental" status. Look at its heading, where it says "Obsoleted by: 4048 Category: Experimental", and its preface which explicitly states that "This memo does not specify an Internet standard of any kind."
I do agree that most projects end up like this sadly. But the ones that do have some sort of sponsorship or donation or revenue stream. Have financial incentive to actively maintain and develop opensource projects. This of course has its own problems but overall better for the users i think.

There are lots of interesting engine designs, but they almost always are either too difficult/expensive to make or unreliable outside of a dynamometer stand.
My child perspective story;

When we were young we watched a TV program called Play School. We always watched it when we got home from normal school. Mum put on the TV and on came Play School. I didn't understand until much later that the act of turning on the TV didn't 'start' the program, so if, for whatever reason, we got home early I used to get super frustrated with my mum for not turning on the TV and letting me watch Play School straight away.

Mum never took the time to understand why I was frustrated.
> A large part of the justification of using outsourced workers is that they live in an area with a lower cost of living than the company's headquarters, so they can be paid less while still having a good quality of life.

It has nothing to do with CoL and everything to do with a company paying what they think is competitive with the other options you have.

I live somewhere with a higher CoL than the states. American companies open branches here, and pay much lower, local salaries.

Thinking it has anything to do with CoL is pure "Just World" fallacy.

I’m still chasing that high, and I feel caffeine gets in the way of both dreaming and imagining novel worlds, two activities that are a big part of my memories about my teenage years. Easier is to play a videogame, but even though so much is done for me there’s no guarantee I’ll meaningfully advance the story like will happen in a good book. I might still be immersed, though, especially with Minecraft/Minetest, Valheim, Factorio/Mindustry, and others. I am most thankful to myself when I opted to read, though; the benefits last longer and provide more experience to draw from.

That book really hit home for me the insignificance of human versus
planetary timescales. For all our handwringing about global warming,
we're actually in an ice age. Even if we solve climate change, the
earth will continue to witness unfathomably long geologic eras long
after we're gone.
Interesting that makes sense. though definitely not an issue in anything I build too small ;0

Well the pandemic has shown us that even if the GPS is pretty sure there is a sharp turn ahead some people refuse to believe it because it is scary to drive on that sharp turn. Eventually we all will have to take that sharp turn but I just hope there is safe passage left ahead of that turn and not all downhill.
No I have not.

> If inflation is "inflating the amount of cash in circulation"

It's not, except when Austrian school adherents are mistaking equivocation for argument. “Inflation” without modifiers means consumer price inflation. Monetary inflation is a thing, but a different thing. Monetary inflation can contribute to consumer price inflation (that's often it's express purpose, compared to not having the policy, as when QE was adopted to prevent deflation), but it is not what “inflation” without qualifiers means outside of intentionally-deceptive rants from Austrian-school adherents
I agree. I'm guessing over time we will see the layering of the browsers improve so eventually maintaining the browser engine updates needs low maintenance, mostly just bumping version numbers.

Until then these browsers will be just nice toys for random browsing, but dangerous for more sensitive things like banking or buying things online.
AFAIK Chrome et al do too. at a couple thousand of characters last I searched for an answer.

I did write some tracking code that ended up having really long strings and a ton of parameters and wrote it to break into multiple requests at like 1800.

> It doesn’t make the war about freedom of speech, it makes the war about resisting invasion (for Britain).

Yah, but fighting to resist invasion also means fighting to preserve values and legal protections.

[which may not have been the best in the world then, or interpreted as we'd interpret those values now, but still were better than the alternative].
Your point is well taken—having grown up in the south I have trouble with both the hostility of New York and the polite but aloof coldness of Pacific Northwest. I agree that it’s ordinarily proper to distinguish which white Americans you’re talking about.

But in the context of this comparison I think the imprecision is forgivable. Different subgroups of white Americans share traits that make them all quite different from Muslims. For example individualism, informality, and absence of hierarchy. My wife is from Oregon and I’m from Bangladesh. We’ve been married 10 years and I only recently got comfortable with calling her parents by their first names. Meanwhile, she still calls my parents “Mr. __ and Mrs. __” because there’s literally no English equivalent to the polite title you’d use in Bangla to address your in laws.
I'm curious if you've ever dismissed someone else's statement as anecdotal.

The reports of WORDLE's death are greatly exaggerated. Whatever, NYT bought a game. Who was going to still be playing in a year? Who was going to be playing till it was done with the scheduled run? I promise you it's increasingly small fractions of the current player base in the hypothetical no sale world. Change is as constant as the sea, the magic would've died out in a few months regardless. Rehost/stop playing/move on.
Agree with sibling comment - the JS ecosystem has a huge momentum behind it and probably isn't going away anytime soon.

On the web, Wasm has currently found the most success with compute-intensive applications, since the JS <-> Wasm bridge is still pretty expensive. There are already some Wasm-based frameworks like https://platform.uno/ that work on the web, but things like React/React-native and Flutter have a huge head start.
The bigger issue is simply that video games aren't made like movies/television. They're very different.

Video games are very distributed. Its the work of a system of people, from high level concept artists building a shared mindspace for how the game should feel, to writers, to gameplay programmers, low level engine developers making the previously impossible possible, and at the bleeding edge sometimes even hardware engineers. All integral to the process.

Very, very rarely a "10x leader" will emerge from the industry. Someone like Chris Metzen of Blizzard, or Martin O'Donnell of Bungie, or John Carmack, Tim Sweeny, Peter Molyneux (for all his flaws lol) or Todd Howard, Miyamoto, or Kojima.

But its nowhere near the level of impact on the final product that a talented director or writer of a movie can bring to the table. Even as recently as the Bobba Fett series, and Tik Tok blowing up about the two episodes Bryce Dallas Howard directed being significantly better than the rest of the series. That just doesn't happen in games. Games don't "bring in" "guest directors" to... produce... one installment? One segment of the overall game? Its just nonsense. Moreover, every great leader I listed above, eventually, produces something kinda shit. Even the stuff they're known for, oftentimes they'd say that they received far more credit than they deserve; that the team deserves far more than they get.

The broader conclusion being: it takes some literal magic to produce great games. Ask anyone in the industry and they'll all agree: its a miracle games ever ship, let alone that some stand among the highest tier of art humanity has ever made. You can't just buy cool IP, like a sugar trap to attract talent like they're flies. On the contrary, the one model which does seem to work, is the literal antithesis of the Disney model: teams which work together for abnormally long periods of time (5+ years) trend toward producing fantastic stuff, eventually.

Though to be clear: there's something about that "Disney of Games" idea that I find fascinating as an explanation for Microsoft's behavior. And while I disagree with the assertion that it will work, I can't disagree with the guess that its a model Xbox has used, internally, to talk about their growing portfolio.
I don’t think the parent commenter’s intent was that the words be universally banned, but instead context-specific words banned for a specific conversation. It’s just trying to remove implicitly differing definitions.

Anecdotal (but then again so is the whole discussion) ...I recently started a job with a company that does regular 1:1's and wow.

Been in this industry for 20+ years and I never knew how badly I needed this.

Theoretically, obviously, managers can have "open door" policies where you can talk to them any time about any thing. Theoretically, this would suffice. In reality, I have always generally felt awful about bothering managers and taking up their time. Having dedicated 1:1 time is an absolute gamechanger.
> And when Germany ended up being invaded, they had less freedom of speech!

Germany allows most political speech, and doesn't execute teenagers for repeating foreign propaganda. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmuth_H%C3%BCbener So this is a very strange instance of "less freedom of speech" to justify this whataboutism.

government institution/national treasure/religion/cult.

it's kinda like Americans donate money to schools, despite the fact that they are supposed to be properly funded by the government. The NHS is basically on the brink of collapse at the best of times both due to chronic underfunding and chronic inefficiency.

Also i realize it's not at all uncommon for Americans to donate to hospitals either.
Your counterpoint is a disingenuous strawman.

The opposite of corporate exploitation is not necessarily ‘no exploitation’ but more like a donation or microfinance type model, something where the owner sells directly to a consumer to exploit their production.

Did the creator sell to NYT because it was in line with their moral principles? Or was it more pragmatic due to living in a system where corporate exploitation is explicitly state sanctioned and therefore controls the majority of financial power?
Yeah, you might go from 20k to 0, but you might be out of debt and end up with a reliable car you'll keep for a decade.
Yes, values and legal protections which didn’t include freedom of speech.
How to Mislead with Facts
Interesting that I had to scroll this far to find a defense for the payment of the modern web. How’s this different than piracy? The unspoken agreement is that you get the content in exchange for eyeballs on ads or cash up front.
> A large part of the justification of using outsourced workers is that they live in an area with a lower cost of living than the company's headquarters, so they can be paid less while still having a good quality of life

Nope, the justification is just “they can be paid less”. The rest is irrelevant.
PtW games I've seen use

- social manipulation from fake players to employ peer pressure, membership, and others to extract revenues

- employees masquerading as players to stir up conflict that gets people to pay money to support the "guild war"

- employees masquerading as players that target free or low revenue players to get them to pay to survive/not be harassed.

- have outright gambling with attendant neurologically tuned payouts like slot machines

All told these are "games" in the sense that blackjack and poker and other gambling pursuits that prey on neurological reward systems are "games". Except they lump on social networking manipulation and group dynamics to further revenue extraction.

And they aren't nearly regulated to the degree that casino games are.

The games I've described are Machine Zone and other of their ilk that are the worst offenders, but their revenue has forced practically all vendors of video entertainment to consider using their tactics to "enhance shareholder value".
In that case, I very much stand corrected :)
also things like proxies/load balancers. I remember being happy that I figured out how to configure my framework to allow a long url, but then sad that something in between wasn't allowing it.

Do browsers respect cache headers for GET requests to say an API endpoint? maybe with an etag?
Of course, why wouldn't they use the latest stuff? Farming technology is literally the reason you and your (relatively) recent ancestors aren't slaving away in the fields. Doesn't matter if that's combine harvesters or logistics apps.

Discovy is not, or much less so.
Unsophisticated humans? We haven’t changed much in the last 50,000 years, from what I remember from Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari. My feeling is that our collective ancestors were creative, intellectual, observant, and all the other positive descriptions we might aspire to, along with being brutal killers fighting to survive. In the span of a couple hundred years we’ve engineered global climate change—-that’s impressive and disheartening, and adopting more of the leave-less-trace existence of our ancestors might be prudent.
It's actually easier for an attacker on desktops/laptops. Phones have excellent sandboxing and defenses by comparison.

The ideal attacker would find a way to silently steal a credential (e.g. session cookie) from your phone, then use it on a different device. That's not going to be something that makes a lot of noise on your device itself.
Because coreutils and gcc are so unpopular?
When I looked into yggdrasil they were talking about repartitioning the address space to give more bits to the network id which is derived from a public key pair because network ids were small enough that collisions were being actively found.

I feel like 128 bits is a lot for address space but not enough for encryption.
Yes. It's broadly considered a successor to CJDNS.
HTTPS (TLS v1.3) does add ~100% overhead. I personally prefer simple HTTP sites, but everyone is scared of "Not Secure" message in address bar ... So we all have to pay that penalty, even on static sites, easily checked against WayBack Machine or Tor service.
If we can do it this fast and this safely for COVID, we should do the same for this disease.
I've been playing Wordle religiously for the past 21 days and I'm nothing but happy that the creator was able to get a life-changing amount of money for this very fun game that he generously shared with the world for free.

Extrapolating this to "all creativity is exploited for financial gain" is silly. There are millions of websites full of independent creativity that are not being exploited for financial gain, mostly because there's no opportunity to do so.

This vision of a world where artists work only for the pure love of making art without considerations of money doesn't exist. It never existed. Artists gotta eat too.

And let's get real for a moment here. It's not War and Peace or Beethoven's 5th Symphony or something. It's a very slick version of hangman with an extremely clever virality mechanism. If it goes behind a paywall it will be a mild annoyance at best before people move on to something else. It's probably going to die down anyway as the fad passes.
