No. So while it (IMO) makes for a more productive debate (you discuss which of the LPs it’s most appropriate to prioritise), it also allows what people refer to as weaponising an LP. I know I’d had such a claim laid on me in that I’d use “Bias for Action” to justify what I wanted. Which there is some truth to. But as another reply mentioned the LPs of “Customer Obsession” and “Deliver Results” overruled all others. My bias delivered on those two so nobody seemed too concerned. As far as I can tell the system was working as designed.

Most teams also have a set of tenets they embrace that are more team-local refinements of what you stand for and how you work. The group I was in had “Bias for Action” and “Earn Trust” as the things to prioritise. Make customers happy, increase their trust in you along the way, deliver results, and do it quickly… it made for a simple framework for decisions and left a lot of autonomy for working out your own plans for execution. You don’t need to reach consensus on _how_ you’re going to do it. Just do it.

Ask HN: Why do browsers have to be refreshed periodically?
RP1 deposits too much coke in the engines to allow reuse, or even extensive static test firing.

LH2 is stupid dangerous to use, requires physically large rockets due to the low density, and as I mentioned, requires extensive leak detection to be integrated into the design.

Super-chilled methane as used by Starship is "just better".

You really should read through the Saturn V manuals and documentation. NASA put a lot of it up online. Technology has moved on from then.

At the time, cost was no object, so they used approaches that wouldn't be acceptable now. For example, the cooling of the engines used hand-brazed tubing, which is crazy expensive to manufacture and test to the required safety level.

Modern engines simply use CNC machining to cut channels into a solid wall, then a plate is brazed on top. Much simpler to manufacture, much cheaper, much safer.

But CNC machining didn't exist back in the Saturn V days! This is the point. We wouldn't "do it that way" any more, because we have tools that they didn't have. Conversely, they had workers readily available that had skills that are not in demand any more, which would cause a hiring bottleneck if the construction of the rocket was attempted today.

Designs don't exist in a vacuum, in some abstract space of "raw materials go directly into the finished product". Designs are made for the wider landscape of the industrial base and the available engineering skillset.

There is no practical way to take the Saturn V design as-is and manufacture it today. It's possible, just not practical, let alone cost-effective.
Coherent But Wrong is a known failure mode for architecture. All of the parts make sense when taking in context of all of the other parts, but when you step out of the system the whole thing seems a little nuts. It's basically the Echo Chamber (circular reasoning) condensed into code.
I've written hundreds of pages on our wiki. One other coworker has written a few dozen. Everyone else has written like 0-3 entries. 99.99% of people really hate documenting stuff. I'm not sure why unless someone has a photographic memory. It is amazing to have someone ask you something about an obscure process or subject and remember that you explored it and documented it in detail 3 years ago and can get back up to speed in 10 minutes rather than 10 hours.
Take it seriously. Get high IQ people to run this function.
Sadly, my T460s died last week. The failure mode is really odd: the screen works for about 1 minute, then goes bonkers (even in the BIOS). I now have a new-to-me T560 that I can use my stash of spare batteries on. I absolutely love the internal + external battery setup of the Thinkpads. Makes it a lot easier to do a long day of field work or be a road warrior. Thankfully they're modular, and I'll probably try to fix the T460s so that I have a spare on hand in an emergency.
It is also because devops is shoved down devs throats while claiming that it is easier and better. So now many of developers don’t want to spend time rewriting their code for something that is supposed to reduce their workload not increase it.
To me, tech recruiting feels geared around people creating resumes that feature a lengthy laundry list of technologies that reward the best liars because that's the idiotic filtering process that's emerged.

What would make the job hunt better?

1) You need somebody technical involved in writing job ads. You also need to limit the technologies mentioned to a handful. If it's a frontend webdev job for example, list out a few necessities (HTML, CSS, JS) and a couple of nice-to-have bits of tech like experience with SVG, React, and Git, but don't declare those to be mandatory. A smart person who never used some tech you need will be able to pick it up faster than a middling liar who claims 5 years of experience with it.

2) You need a recruiter who understands the businesses they're representing as well as technology to figure out if the candidate is a potential match.

3) You need businesses who understand that smart people who know their shit are better for the business than a middling developer who has some experience with your particular tech. Outside of very specialized and niche stuff, any smart developer will pick up new libraries and technology very quickly. Solve for hiring smart people, not trying to find somebody who just listed every technology they ever heard of on their resume.
I haven't watched my old DVDs in a while, but my recollection is that (in most episodes, at least) Columbo would explain what detail from early in the investigation made him suspicious of the perpetrator and what evidence and/or reasoning he used to rule out the other suspects along the way.
Surely you're not extrapolating globally data that is occurring locally to you and thinking things are hunky dory.

I admit I may be. If the micro-reactors work out here they may gain traction. I acknowledge that is many may's or maybe's on my part.
Falcon9 1.0 R&D costs were $300M.
Handy. Is the TCP handshake, or other details about socket behavior, ever get used for assessing the remote process, and in turn libraries written to mimic known patterns?
> I’m not sure your critique of v6 to v7 migration is fair. Im sure v6 continued to work fine on that old version of chrome. But it seems perfectly reasonable for developers to be compensated for writing new code to work with new versions with new requirements.

I don't disagree that they should be compensated for new versions, however, I think we have a difference of opinion on what qualifies as a patch; I'm not intrinsically against upgrading license types ( though I don't like the move to subscriptions-only ), but I also expect the software I've already paid for to be updated when a major selling point feature ( browser integration ) breaks, especially if it's only the previous version ( in spirit or in practice ).

To be honest, though, I don't really expect they'll have a similar situation in the future now that they're actively maintaining all platform versions ( and with a unified core! ), so I'm being bitter over the past and letting it seep into how I feel about v8, local vaults, and control of my data.
> And it's not clear to me how nuclear waste can both be extremely long-lived and also very dangerous that entire time.

This is a really good question, and as someone who knows nothing about this, here's what I've found:

There's 4 kinds of nuclear waste:

- Very low-level waste

- Low-level waste

- Intermediate-level waste

- High-level waste

You just dump very low-level waste into a landfill[1]. This stuff is basically random concrete, etc. that comes from demolishing a nuclear power plant.

Low-level waste is still pretty boring stuff like clothing and rags that got irradiated somehow, and is 90% of the volume and 1% the radioactivity of radioactive waste[1]. The radioactivity in this mostly comes from atoms with a half-life of less than 5 years, although it seems like trace amounts of slightly long-lasting radioactive isotopes are allowed[2].

Intermediate-level waste looks like it's pretty varied things: sludges, fuel cladding, reactor parts from decomissioning. It's 7% of the volume and has 4% of the radioactivity[1]. Looks like this stuff is generally pretty long-lived: takes about 1000 years to become 10x as radioactive as low-level waste, and 100k years to become as radioactive as low-level waste.

High-level waste is basically spent fuel. It's special in that it requires some kind of cooling, at least for a few decades. It's 3% of the volume and 95% of radioactivity[1]. It can often be re-processed into more fuel. After about 200 years, it becomes about as radioactive as intermediate-level waste, and 100k years to become as radioactive as low-level waste.

Wouldn’t debt going down generally mean people were unable to leverage more debt?

In that instance of home equity debt going down - wouldn’t it mean that the mortgages were being paid off faster than they were being made? (In absolute dollar sense) To me - that sounds like people stopped getting mortgages… Which is an affordability crisis.

Same with credit card debt.

There’s a great episode with Donald Pleasance that Falk even went on Johnny Carson to promote. I got the same feeling you describe. Falk was an actor’s actor and fun and satisfying to work with.
I agree with this article, but I can't entirely agree that Reddit is a good alternative for a search engine. As much as I appreciate the content on Reddit, though, it's a database and a forum, not a search engine. I often find myself searching Reddit by either 'site:Reddit.com' on Google or, as of recently, using you.com, which I am positively surprised with; I'd say you.com search of Reddit is probably the best right now.
Also, there's a firefox extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/passff/ (on github: https://github.com/passff/passff)

And it's such a simple option to add, too - as far as I can tell, each message in a thread is just a message in the channel, just with a "threadId" attached to it. The client's the one that hides it and makes a mess of the experience.

But what it really needs is elevating threads to something like a temporary "sub-channel". Show them on the side-bar just like channels so you don't lose messsages CONSTANTLY if you're in more than 1 active thread at a time.

So smtp check is the wrong way to verify an email address? Or the way im doing is wrong. Did i need to have SPF,DKIM config and send the real message to their SMTP server?
My question is, is there any other way that this can be done? How do these services claim reliable validation in light of the above? I know that they are not going to reveal their methodologies, but can anyone on SO shed some more light?
I think it's a matter of picking a few things you're going to comment on, and any time the person actually stops needing to be corrected on one of them, you add one of the others in. Any good teacher or mentor does this. But it's a balance because you need the student to see that the reason you're complaining about something new is because they have in fact progressed, and we have moved on to the next thing to address (which has probably always been there)

I genuinely had a good laugh at the idea that simply by building an underground colony, the inhabitants would become "curmudgeon underground mole people".

I would personally love such a habitat, and would market it as a Safe Space for The Curmudgeonly(TM).
I don't think I'd be that much into a boss that at least isn't a little curious about the planned strategy for breaking into a very small, tight-knit, expensive market. Like I guess the only time this would make sense is if the boss had absolutely no clue how to market their product and specifically hired me to figure it out. I could see how my boss doesn't really care about how it's done because he knows he's already clueless about it anyway. But even if he doesn't really care, he should still be aware as that is kind of the job of a boss. You don't need to know all the fine details but you should be able to explain to someone else what your underling is doing and how.
They are calling anyone who is against vaccine mandates an “anti-vaxxer” now.

How much information content is there in DNA? 2 bits per base, before compression. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3220916/

How do creatures know what to eat? Evolution solved that for most creatures, so their sensors don't have to work as hard at runtime. And in other cases, some number of members of a population of creatures will die before the population learns the food is poisonous. Our sensors, and the information processing systems that manage their outputs, are remarkably efficient data processing engines that do the equivalent of approximating and predicting, often well beyond what the most advanced deep learning systems are capable of doing now.
My brother is in charge of HR analytics for a large defense contractor in the US. He absolutely has had to fire thousands of people for refusing to get vaccinated. You may agree with this policy, but let's not pretend it's not happening on a large scale. It absolutely is.

My wife's cousin is an RN who works in the ER of a large hospital in the Atlanta metro. She caught and recovered from COVID in early 2021. She was terminated for refusing to get vaccinated (she's in her late 20s, and was concerned about the menstrual side effects of the vaccine experienced by many nurses she works with).
Nice. That's basically my ideal work environment; if you happen to have an opening for a .NET developer who loves SQLite and databases in general, my contact info is in my profile.
I used Larry as an example because we're from the same city, ironically. My grandparents (the ones I knew anyway) are from the class that repaired electronics; we're the mechanics to their automotive engineers. My grandfather (born in 1919) was obsessed with televisions and repaired them as a side business, so the tools were all around for my dad when he started buying broken microcomputers and fixing them so he could play games. Which in turn taught him enough of the basics (ha) of BASIC and meant that when I was a kid and had basic coding questions he could help. But since we all learned on our own over 3 generations, our facility with tech doesn't 'count'.

I can't claim to be completely without privilege: I'm about as well-off as you can get and still be considered from a disadvantaged background: My mother dropped out of high school and ran away at 15 (ironically her family included engineers and at least one MSU professor), so while I never had the money, my socio never really matched my economic, class wise. It's more that if you were any lower on the ladder than I was, you just didn't have a computer or MAYBE you might have something like the 5 free hours of AOL in the late 90s. A computer with hours of internet access in 93 required some privilege.

There were a couple of G+T things I did, but I got the money we did scrounge for those from my dad, and once he married my stepmom that stopped because she believed very strongly in gender roles (she wanted me to like clothes shopping and makeup like my sisters and her female relatives) and she also wanted to live in the middle of nowhere.

> That said, I guess if you don't get a leg up as a kid and go on to be successful through grit you can always appreciate that your hard work and determination paid off?

Eh, I'm not going to be successful, because doing so would require neglecting either my own health or that of my family. I have MS, and that just explodes the ability to do any kind of career planning.

That has its own silver lining, though, because I can say whatever the hell I want. Which is its own kind of freedom: I have a 'get out of hustle free' card. It's almost like skipping from being 25 to 65: I had to do a lot of reckoning with my own mortality, what I was worth if I wasn't able to have a high powered career, what did I actually want out of life, etc.
I'm curious why they didn't use a webfont to render the page with the new font.

Often in my career I find myself on the other side of an opinion after noodling on it for a while. The process of typing out a long-winded email, realizing the hole in your argument, then saying Fuck It, deleting it and instead replying LGTM, is a powerful instrument.

> that fired a bunch of people for publishing research about the harms of AI

You're either extremely misinformed or are intentionally lying, but either way, this is just a flat out incorrect statement on multiple levels. You can just google "Timnit Gebru" to find out all the details of her dismissal. And Eric Schmidt doesn't run Google, and had literally zero to do with Timnit and others getting fired(which - to be clear, was entirely because of their response to Google's response to their paper, not because of the paper itself).
Bingo.

We did a similar thing except replacing the values with a UUID and storing the pair in a lookup table somewhere. Delete that row and none of the rest of the data is able to be tied back to a human being.

Bonus, most people didn't need that data, and it was no longer given out to everyone who grabbed the entire dataset.
> Can this technical decision be reversed easily?

One of the most exhausting failure modes that I've had to deal with is deciding not to decide. Some people will build elaborate Rube Goldberg machines so that they "can change their minds later" but in fact what they've done is decided that choices are now everybody else's problems.

There's a whole hell of a lot of rewards to having the maturity to be able to say "I was wrong" and move on. Writing code in a way that you could rework it to use a different library to accomplish the same thing is making a reversible decision. Creating a rules engine to let a config file make the choices and leaving a cartesian product of states (75% of which are invariably illegal, which you are just supposed to know) is definitely, definitely not. Just pick something, man.
Based on the track record of historical climate predictions, it is rational to be surprised if one turns out to be accurate. Predictions are not facts, and they have been screaming them for decades. They have consistently been inaccurate, and tainted by political influences. There is good science on climate change, but there is also a lot of bad science on it, specifically in terms of future projections.
Impressive work. thanks a lot :)
Never point out something is wrong immediately. Immediately set off to work on a secret rewrite, and then point out what is wrong in a big commit sent to the review system 17 weeks later!
So if they increase interest rates, buyers won't buy the homes that would liquidate their balance sheet and prices would drop as well, undercutting the value of their balance sheet.

So what is the Fed's motivation to raise interest rates to curb inflation in this case?
Consumables -- that go into your body, and hence are expensive to manufacture -- are a big chunk of that cost.
What does an automatic cost limit look like when you have metered storage services? Start killing customer data?

It's a good idea that I've considered. However, I didn't anticipate the need for this when I originally designed Hashpass in 2014, and adding it now would be a breaking change.

I'm still considering it, but there would need to be a very slow, very careful rollout plan. Probably some transition period where users can opt into the new scheme, then eventually make the new scheme the default but still support the old scheme, and finally remove the old scheme to make things simple again.

Since this is a Chrome extension which collects no information from users, I have no way of contacting users about this. So I would need to wait long enough that users discover it themselves in the UI. All told, I'd guess it would take about a year for the full migration.

Anyone is welcome to discuss things like this with me via GitHub issues: https://github.com/stepchowfun/hashpass

No, it’s a well understood concept. giyf.

I did pay for their software. Then they decided to try to exploit their position in a way favorable to them, and unfavorable to me. Nope.
The defaults aren’t always exactly what I want but I find it is preferable to just accept them as they are than to have a billion customisation options. I pick the best bit of software that works for me and then just change my workflow to fit it.
I think Toptal’s model is as ideal as it gets. Engineers are vetted and interviewed once, companies can hire without interviewing, if it doesn’t work out in the first week Toptal covers the cost. This incentivizes Toptal to do effective evaluation of engineers, engineers don’t have to repeat interviews over and over, and companies save time and money.

I don’t see how that model could be any better really. Referrals are also a good model, but the talent pool is limited.
