You're actually sort of proving an aspect of my point. Toxic leaders excel. Microsoft crushed Netscape. Jobs shreds his teams, but they still do very well.

Why is this? It's because exactly what I said above. The right feedback loops and the right incentives, they'll keep rising.

Science can be discovered here, to start: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C31&q=tox...

To talk to your implied point more with an edit - the real question becomes how do orgs excel if they're not doing the slash and burn technique that seems to get rewarded in the economic system we have. For what it's worth, this is a great question to ask.

There are similar continual questions/counterpoints like yours re: toxic leadership instead about leadership and ethics. Aside from the occasional Enron, there really doesn't seem to be much accountability for doing bad in the corporate world, or more commonly it's dealt with a mucky in-between ground of virtue signals/corporate activism and employee support groups internally that's pretty easy to spot and very distasteful because it feels so surface and hypocritical.

Short answer - not being a toxic leader does not mean failing at producing a good product, standing up for oneself/beliefs and related candor, and general aggressive pursuit of an outcome with a bias for action. It gets difficult to find these types out in the wild, but that's sort of my point. It's hard to learn how to do this, and there isn't a good training pipeline either, so prior to pointing out "here's a great example of a non-toxic, transformational leader who ships great products and wins at corporate life," we're still by and large at the stage of "hey, there are other ways to do this, stop idolizing Jobs to start." It's also important not to idolize the individual behind the leader. Someone can lead teams and be great to work for, but they might be really awful in their personal life. Jobs is an interesting example of this as well oddly enough.

That said, counterpoints you're basically asking for proof of do show up in the wild. If you've ever worked for someone who was (a) great to work for and with and (b) had the vibe just passing through your team onto some serious success in tech, those types tend to fit the bill of non-toxic, transformational leaders. Zelensky is another example of someone really grokking this well. I haven't worked for Brian Armstrong at Coinbase, but some of what he signals seems to fit the transformational, non-toxic bill and it'd be interesting to learn more about his day-to-day style. Google founders in their later iterations are good examples possibly. Anyway, lots of practical and academic resources out in this direction.

Most people are not able to install a heat pump themselves. I consider myself a fairly technical DIY sort of person but was not comfortable installing it myself. Installation is going to be the majority of the cost for the typical person buying a new heat pump.
It wasn't logistics that caused issues in Afghanistan though.
Damn, if I hear another over emphasised adjective...
I am under the impression that Spotify doesn't care a lot about UX in general. Inconsistencies in gesture handling, sessions still buggy after years, being logged out as soon as the API is unreachable, directly playing a song when opening a link, etc
One thing I wonder is if their software is up to the challenge of being used in a box with 10ge and thunderbolt and whatnot. My M1 mac mini loses its mind if it has wifi and a crossover ethernet connection to a PC. The wifi link flaps up and down constantly in this condition. If I connect the mini to a PC over thunderbolt, "bridgeos" whatever that is will panic and the machine reboots. It's all a bit fragile.
Noticed this as well - was very bizarre and unnatural looking.
1/ Please don't make me create an account to understand what your service does.

2/ I like the premise, but I personally need to see all of the todos in a list for today so I can prioritize and manage my day. Task priority changes throughout the day. For example, I might have "go to the gym" task. In the morning, I might prioritize the gym, but if I don't finish the task and work starts, I need to prioritize my work tasks during the work day and the gym can come after work.

3/ I've looked at building my own productivity tool service, but growing them is so hard, since there is no backed-in flywheel. Getting new customers is expensive.
Well that sure is interesting, it's the exact opposite of what I've read before. Having not read that entire novel, I do have to ask if that's taking the average yearly Wh of a solar panel or what it says on the tin? Because it'll only produce that in Mexico during summer at midday. These costs can't be fixed but likely vary significantly by latitude and weather type.

Anyhow if that's somehow correct and the price is $29.04 for a solar MWh and $121.84 for battery storage, then taking night into account for a 1MW installation you need 2x the solar capacity to make up the night draw during the day and a 12 MWh battery bank, so in total that would be $58.08 for the panels and $1462.08 for storage. Not exactly feasible by itself still. That's simplified of course, as you don't get as much draw at night, but you also have to consider that in winter you'll basically get nothing from the panels, so you may need even more than just 2x.
Ask HN: Looking for a Backup Email Relay
We operate a self-hosted email server, just a few users and very low volume. Our server delivers most of our outbound email directly to the destination servers, but, for various reasons, email from us to a few servers sometimes gets rejected. Up to now, the workaround has been to also have a Google G Suite account for our domain, and use the Google server to relay our email to those finicky domains. With Google G Suite/Workspace no longer being "free forever", we are looking for an alternative relaying server. Volume is minimal, probable fewer than 10 relayed emails per day. Any suggestions appreciated.
Yup, that and all the hand movements (along with the usual grandiose words used) were so distracting that I just stopped watching it.
Nice: the new display includes 12 MP camera and mic array. Price still TBD...not holding my breath that it will be affordable for the likes of me.

edit: starting at $1,600. Better than I expected, TBH.
they could confiscate the amount you "withdrew"!
"In the current environment, it is not in the best interest of NATO or the US that [Eastern European] states be granted full NATO membership and its security guarantees," according to a State Department memorandum in 1990, while those states were still emerging from Soviet control as the Warsaw Pact disintegrated.

Do you see any promise here? I don't. Nothing to see here move along.
I kind of expected something that's relevant to the comment the GP made about "owning media" in the context of other distribution mechanism going down (ignoring that I indeed have the right to copy discs I own, for limited purposes), not a "did you know that owning music media means what everyone understands owning music media to mean".
Take a large unordered text file and then create an ordered index in a separate file of word ==> line

write a brief binary search algo to search the index.

Compare searching the words with a "table scan" on the first file using grep, vs the binary search on the index.

You will find the table scan is O(n) and your binary search is roughly O(log n)

In 60 minutes you'll understand more about indexing than reading stack overflow.
> Article 2(4) of the U.N. Charter says "All members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State" but is that enforceable?

Yes, ultimately by states taking action under Article 51 of the Charter, if all else fails.

EDIT: But, while the Security Council veto Russia wields can block the main UN enforcement mechanism, there has been a General Assembly fallback since 1950 via the “Uniting for Peace” process; while the UNGA has acted using this process already in the crisis without explicitly calling for enforcement action, there is nothing preventing it from revisiting it with stronger terms.

Of course and it sucks that Russians have to suffer sanctions because of the actions of their government. But what's the alternative? How do you put pressure on a government that attacks one of your allies without sending troops and starting WW3? We do it with sanctions and the way the world is organized these affect all citizens of a nation state regardless of their political affiliation.
Putin wishes it still was.
A wide stance implies surefootedness and confidence. They are absolutely coached to appear the most certain they can when marketing/communicating statistics.
I think one of the big changes will allow for async gpu uploads. Currently those happen on the main thread and lock UI.
And hopefully after that they will focus on EU and US war crimes.
The most active social media users are usually people lacking in real life.

Think about it, if you have a great job, a great partner and a great life, are you on Twitter arguing 20 to 30 hours a week.

The type of person to argue with strangers all day has none of the above.

It's also a matter of recognizing how insignificant we all are. No one cares what I think.

Hopefully no one ever will. I do want to create games and music for people to enjoy, but if I then start mouthing off about how taxes are evil I hope I'm ignored.
Redpanda makes use of code generation to improve system reliability
I'm not sure how listening to Goebbels is useful to convince nazis of the errors of their ways.

I'm not sure I support the banning of RT either, but pretending that RT is anything but pure propaganda is delusional.
If anything, better hardware is just an enabling technology for programming languages that run their static analysis at compile time. Rustc is written in Rust - it's not like it's going to get 10x faster any time soon.
Is there a reason classic grep or find utilities do not use multithreading?

It takes 5-6 seconds to search for some files on my machine. Would'nt it be an easy win if `find` had spawned 4 threads?
Man, if I'd been in Russia's place, I'd ask for equal treatment.

I.e. wait for court to indicte responsible for drone killings,Yemen, Iraq, etc. I imagine I'd wait quite a lot.

EDIT: Indict -> Indicte
If the Chinese agency plays the delay, deny and harass game they will likely be replaced by an agency that is capable of protecting the environment without standing in the way of industrial progress.

When the EPA plays the delay, deny and harass game they amass brownie points with politicians.

Likewise it's probably safe to assume that the Chinese agency is much more set up (and well practiced at) making sure things actually get done on defensible timelines.
The screen literally has an ipad chip in it just to run the webcam.
This isn't WWII. The cost of war these days is insanely high and depends on a constant stream of materials. Losses also occur at a much faster rate. 800 days of drones flying over you with IR scopes means you'd run out of people to shoot at much sooner.

Instead you see things like the US does where you gain air superiority, take out all command and control via decapitation attacks, and then remove all the armor from the map with missiles and aircraft.
Every jourinalist know this trick. It makes you stand still and don’t wiggle left and right, which just look bad.

Yes, I can't stop looking at it. They keep shifting their back foot to the camera as well to keep the power stance alive.
The “Lightsaber Guys” who are summoning the force in Greeley
Anecdata: Once upon a time I installed a SuSE with their default choice of ReiserFS (v3) as root partition. Couple of months later that filesystem was dead beyond repair. I don't know whether I did something wrong, but I've been very wary of "defaults" ever since. That said, that was a different time and I tend to see a ZFS or a BTRFS in my near future.
I've noticed it too. It seems like they've been all coached to have a "power stance" as they present.
The Power Stance - lots of UK politicians using it too.
It's called hybrid warfare.
Spotify is still working for me on their desktop app for the downloaded songs. Really weird that it logged everyone out on mobile...

I’ve been waiting for the next-gen Apple Silicon Mini to get more than 16gb of RAM and looks like I got my wish!
Iraq (explicit condemnation from Kofi Anan), Yugoslavia (China and Russia said they would veto any resolution to send military aid), Libya (China and Russia abstained), Syria (no UN resolution, Russia firmly opposed).

In fact, I don't even know of a defensive military operation from NATO. Perhaps Afghanistan could be counted?
What's the effect size?
Russia did not invade Ukraine because of sanctions. I don’t know why you think that.
I sometimes watch Russia TV France, I find the programs of high quality and very balanced. They show different perspective to both internal and foreign affairs.I can't speak to other branches.
It’s a precaution due to the earth-shattering announcements. ;)
So by this logic the EU should ban al jazeera.

M1 OMEGA GIGA is in the works.
I'm not drawing anything here. I'm just genuinely curious how international relations work in a case like this where one guys just invades other countries. The reaction I'm getting here is weird, as if my asking that question somehow makes me sympathize with that guy? Not at all, I just need to know how our world works so I understand what's going in.

The comment I was responding to was claiming they were breaking international law and my hope was that there is an avenue to enforce that in the long term.
I remember during the height of the Pandemic when I couldn't get my McDonalds dopamine fix. It was akin to a junkie not being able to source drugs, and was painful. This is what people must be feeling in Russia after these closures. But there are alternatives to try out and experiment with, which is a good thing.
Exactly. It's going to be much more productive for someone totally new to 3D graphics to play with three.js and learn all about models, meshes, textures, shaders, coordinate spaces, cameras, etc. If you're starting with webgpu or even webgl you're going to get mired in eccentricities of buffer management, byte formats, etc. which are important plumbing but just that--plumbing.
It gives them a "place at the table".

You are correct, upon looking for a source I couldn’t find what I had seen earlier. Must have been wrong news :/
Price controls are almost always a terrible idea. Economists agree on this as much as dentists agree that sugared gum is bad for your teeth. If the price of a good increases, several things happen:

- People reduce their consumption of that good.

- People find substitutes.

- People with stockpiles of the good sell it. If price controls were in effect, they would hoard it instead.

- On a longer time scale, people start producing more of the good. They pay workers overtime to work more shifts, buy/build more equipment, and so on.

Economist Michael Munger wrote an article titled They Clapped: Can Price-Gouging Laws Prohibit Scarcity? which explains the problems with price controls, even in times of disaster.[1]

I'd wait and see even on that comparison.

While a lot of Apple's M1 claims have lived up to scrutiny, their GPUs ones are limited to very specific test cases that benefit from Apple's architecture.

So will it hit 3060TI levels on some stuff? Yeah, likely, it will. But that doesn't mean it will be hitting those levels across the board and only independent testing will give us an accurate picture.
I know that in last days all the tickets for flights to Turkey, Armenia etc were taken...
I have 1.5TB of music. It's because I have so much that I make sure I've got backups, backups of backups, etc.

Just get some kind of syncing client so that you can just copy the deltas when you're making backups of backups. Offsite/cloud backup couldn't hurt, either.
It’s all fun and games until Taiwan is invaded, what then? Back to Intel chips?
Manufacturing and fabrication are two different worlds. Manufacturing is all about reducing/eliminating variance, whereas fabrication (high-mix, low volume) is all about absorbing variance. Most of the things we build have never been built before, and most of them will never be built again. So the estimates on how long it will take to build one is just that: an estimate. And the process of fabricating it is affected by MANY variables, but I'll just list a few. Materials with long lead times. Materials not arriving on time. Wrong materials sent. A pareto distribution of time it will take to finish an operation depending on which employee I give it to. What else is in the queue for an operation. Whether customers put a hold on the part. And so on, and so on.

Every manufacturing person I've met thinks we're just idiots. Then they come to our shop and it takes them about 1-2 years of trying to "we just need to implement Lean, guys!" before they realize that fabrication has very little, if anything, in common with manufacturing and the only lean principle that really applies is keeping your work area tidy and your tools organized.

Our business model is built around our ability to absorb and manage variance, rather than eliminate it.
What do you gain by hearing Putin's lies that Ukraine is just shelling itself?

People think that they're somehow magically immune to propaganda. You are not. Propaganda is like a virus for the mind. You hear it, you internalize it, it slowly warps you. We should not tolerate Putin lying to our people or to anyone for that matter.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed. They look stupid and it's a distraction - I don't care what anyone says.

After a declaration of war, I think it’s okay to restrict the propaganda arm of the enemy for the same reason that putting up pro-Nazi posters in the middle of London in 1940 would also have been restricted.
This was my first guess as well since they're both pretty famous users of GCP.

Unravelling the Role of the Mandatory Use of Face Covering Masks for the Control of SARS-CoV-2 in Schools: A Quasi-Experimental Study Nested in a Population-Based Cohort in Catalonia (Spain)

FCM = Face Covering Mandates

> Interpretation: FCM mandates in schools were not associated with lower SARS-CoV-2 incidence or transmission, suggesting that this intervention was not effective. Instead, age-dependency was the most important factor in explaining the transmission risk for children attending school.
What arguments are they bringing to the table, exactly? You seem to be quite keen that they can continue broadcasting lies while they invade a sovereign democratic nation. I wonder just what pushback against Russia you do support. It’s not like nobody can get the official RT story in the west if they want to. Unlike Russia, the West hasn’t banned anyone from looking up or sharing Russia’s official line on this whole thing. You’re free to post about the West murdering millions of innocents while Russians are shooting civilians *right now* - https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/t9exxk/russians_ki... - so your cries about your speech being threatened feel a bit hollow.
"why don't we just listen to what the Russians, like - officially, want?"

It's not like the Russian government is being deprived of the ability to express its official narrative. It controls the media in Russia, and can freely express itself there.

The world has been globally networked for some time, so it's easy to look at Russian websites in Russia, should anyone wish.
This is whataboutism; the EU should be upholding its laws, and the International Criminal Courts should uphold theirs. There's no reason to mix the issues.

Would you call running a marathon easy? Anyone can run. But could you run for 26.2 miles without stopping? The ECMAScript 12 spec is 44,000 lines and it contains 269,000 words. It's enormous. It's the same way with qemu. You have to spend months doing an enormous number of things to build something like that before it's able to run even the simplest most everyday programs. Bellard is legendary for his stamina. Not many programmers can match it. Only one I can think of would probably be the SerenityOS guy.
I got logged out from both mobile and desktop apps. Very frustrating.
Who do you think has the power at the moment?

IMO, this war has demonstrated where power really lies. And that is in the hands of the people. Do you think any politician West of Poland really wanted this economic war with Russia?

Clearly, the lives of the rich and powerful would have been much easier had Zelenskeyy snuck off allowing Putin to annex a big chunk of South Eastern Ukraine like he did with Crimea. Energy bills go back down. No additional influx of refugees. Pandemic free. Peachy.

So why is it happening? Because the free press is out there documenting the horrors for all to see. And it turns out that people do care. And they are fed up of the lies and the fake news. These sanctions are being made because people demand it. That is customers, individuals, employees. This is what is driving decision-making processes at the moment.
I was thinking this every time I read the news back when Putin was saying this.
