> In reality, if you are depending on one employee to make your business that is a huge risk.

This is extremely common in many/most SMBs.

> That employee needs to document and transfer his knowledge and relationships out to the company at large.

Most employees who are rainmakers/linchpins like this are also aware that they are rainmakers/linchpins.

First, knowledge documentation and transfer in reality is hard. Very few people read docs, even when they are told to and those docs are critical to their job and the business as a whole. If you do it face-to-face, it’s almost always the case that the person learning politely listens and is already making a mental list of changes (often catastrophic) that they are going to make.

Second, relationships are extremely valuable, and anyone who has them pretty much knows this. Why would they give this up freely? Oh, you will fire them? I guess the company’s competitor would love to have your rainmaker and all of his/her contacts.

In all of the sustainable and stable businesses I have seen, these rainmakers/linchpins get paid outsized amounts of money due to the processes and connections that they have and have made. Imho, they deserve it.

The company has to have a BATNA in the event that the employee demands something outrageous, but usually the best course of action is to reward them generously for sustained profitable performance. If you are lucky and skilled as an executive/manager, some of these superstars will be happy with a slightly smaller (but still relatively large) income in order to work in what is hopefully a healthy work environment.
I'd love if the is pass submitted upstream as well if possible. I think a lot of ecosystems could benefit from the awesome work you did!
Hard to see how the US can claim a moral high ground on anything when it continues to not be a member of the ICC and is even occasionally actively hostile towards individual judges and member countries by threatening sanctions.
> Reminds me of Amazon also - Something similar happening at AWS. When Bezos left, lot of people streaming out the door.

People aren't leaving Amazon by following Bezos, people are leaving because of their terrible working conditions[0] and bad policies, including employees in corporate offices.

Some women do treat men as commodity in a market. Both men and women of this type spoil it for the rest of the people who are genuinely looking for connection.
“But that’s very different from having the latitude to wake up and say, ‘You know, it’s raining. I don’t feel like going to work.’”

Pretty much sums up the CEOs thoughts in a single sentence. People that aren't in the office don't "feel" like going to work.

I don't "feel" like sitting in an office being unproductive, distracted and running from meeting room to meeting room anymore. If your culture is keeping people at the office for 70 hours per week and you're afraid that vanishes if suddenly those lazy people don't have to sit there anymore... then maybe your culture isn't worth much.
I believe what the grandparent post actually meant was, "This undermines our moral posture in accusing Russia of war crimes." Which is true.
World-war, total-war of the type that's making people anxious, that's pretty damn crazy. Sure, some wars don't operate that way, but those are irrelevant.
>(there are no ads in comments)

This explains everything anyone needed to know about your original post. Reddit itself is an ad. Those other networks you mentioned use their algos to do one thing and one thing only and that's make money.
if they don't call out mobile/ULV processors with their own series (Y and U series) then people whine that they're trying to "sneak lower-performing processors into the lineup using the same numbering".

similarly, marketing a processor as being a "5700U" or "5700G" despite it being slower than a desktop 5700X could be seen as equally deceptive. That's not really any better than "i7" vs "m7" or whatever.

unfortunately you're just going to have to learn the naming convention, there really isn't a good solution for that, given the wide range of applications that a given series might be applied to. You just happen to think that AMD's naming convention is worth taking the time to learn while throwing your hands up at the Intel naming. Same with people who think Intel is just awful for internally codenaming all their products after Lakes and Coves while eagerly memorizing every single painter and city name that AMD uses in their codenames - says more about your priorities than their naming scheme.

> Every local NFL game except monday night is now available for free over the air with an antenna or on Amazon for thursday games

The only channels I can receive from my house are PBS and Univision. 15 years ago I could receive NBC, ABC, and FOX. FOX never converted to ATSC; NBC converted, but at laughably low power -- if you live on top of a hill and have a high-gain antenna you can pull NBC in with only occasional dropouts. I'm not sure what happened to ABC.

I don't have cable, but for those who do, it was for at least 3 years impossible to watch the local baseball team on cable, because the team's channel was part-owned by one cable company, but our town has a different cable company. Unsurprisingly they struggled to come to a licensing agreement.

If you're going to make a satirical website, make a satirical website. The author wants to make it so clear that they're not into Web 3 that the first thing you see is a standard-issue rant against it with all the usual talking points.

There's a lot to satirize about Web 3, but not a great implementation here.
Sorry, but interfaces are not a replacement for sum types. Trying to shoehorn every situation where you might want to deal with multiple different types of things into figuring out what common interface they could implement is a pretty terrible pattern (although interfaces are great where they are actually applicable). The Go solution of using reflection on empty interfaces and type switches when the interface pattern fails instead of sum types is a hack that forces you to throw away type safety.

Go <1.18 often feels like it is an half-finished language, except there are a lot of people ready to jump down your throat about how it's actually good that it is half-finished. Real "ignorance is strength" vibes. And I'm someone who writes Go every day.

a max balance is a cool idea, i gotta try that out!
i agree with the rest of the comments in the thread. there are certainly generational stereotypes, i guess in the world of design ours are an overdose of gradients and rounded corners lol. personally, i'm a fan of a little bit of the maximalist vibe and some brutalist elements mixed in. everyone should try to cultivate their own "aura", that's why i make a shit ton of personal websites (at least one every year) and experiment with trends that i like.

i'll go ahead and also point out where i see these trends are popping up all the time: web3 and crypto. notably, zora and the rainbow wallet do them well, i feel. i think you'll find that the design teams for these companies are pretty young. i even know of some high-schoolers that are part time employees for web3 companies (as designers).

i guess it's a little tangential but it's something i rarely see talked about with web3 -> they will succeed not because of the legitimacy of the technology but largely because of their appeals to the young*. young people love anything with hints of counter-culture and feeling like we're a part of a revolution; it's a thing, i think. though, decentralized stuff isn't really all that punk anymore...

I was wondering how long it would take before I saw someone advocating for webpage backgrounds to be grey again. Mosaic (and later Netscape) had the right idea from the start. It's only too bad it's taken so long for us to get back to where we started.

EU perspective here: no, a PhD indicates that you're interested in research, and are capable of jumping through organizational hoops to make such happen.

I've hired PhDs as (very) successful product managers twice. In both cases, the candidates were very eager to look into all existing research around the product line, as well as perform interviews to determine any gaps.

That, for me, was and is extremely valuable. But, on the other hand, if you're looking for a 1000x Rockstar Coder<tm>, a recent PhD hire may not be for you.
> How does that work exactly?

Jeffrey Epstein. Do you think it was coincidence that he had power of attorney over Les Wexner, who was involved with the notorious Southern Air Transport? There are many other intelligence connections, for instance Maxwell and her father.

The CIA is really the worst institution in the US government.
"I hate cars. I hate driving. I really hate other people's driving, and other people's cars."

heh why would someone who hates cars with the passion of a thousand suns review one?

I enjoy driving, I don't enjoy traffic but i do like road trips. I live in Dallas and regularly do weekend trips all over Texas, SE Oklahoma, and Arkansas. It's relaxing to me.
> So a revert of a deployment happens in the "deploy-state" repo, not in the monorepo.

This makes me think you're disagreeing with the literal interpretation of what I wrote, while very much agreeing in spirit.

I'm not trying to say that a VCS is an intrinsically wrong solution to managing deployment state (I'm not a fan, but it's an eminently reasonable approach). My issue is with deployment state and application source being enmeshed in the same repo such that you can't evolve one without messing with the other.

>The interrogators were convinced that Baluchi knew more than he was saying because he was a nephew of the self-proclaimed mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, Khaled Sheikh Mohammed.

Repressive regimes often make a point of persecuting family members. It sends the message that resistance will cause terrible things to happen to those you love, not just you. The torture works toward that end in this case.
The videos upthread pretty much argue that a lot of pieces were in place but the cultural, economic, and societal pieces mostly weren't. Which, presumably, the right leadership could have shifted to some degree over time.
Git can be used in monorepos. The problem is often that people don't put in the effort to configure it (or configure their aliases, or per-repo gitconfig) so that it's not slow; they just accept that slowness is inevitable. I think that your slow `git status` may be due to untracked file detection: try `git status --untracked-files=no`
Kind of telling that the employees really do not like working together: "employees could resume working together in person, as Solomon emphatically wants them to do, without further shutdowns. Yet as of late morning on that Tuesday, only about 5,000 of Goldman’s 10,000 HQ workers had shown up" I'd bet the number was closer to 4k if anything. This is clearly a structural cultural mismatch.
You know, the internet I remember looked a lot more like that "fun" app, once upon a time... Bright colours, flashing marquees, comic sans everywhere.

I don't think GenZ is the problem here. The bland corporate aesthetic that has taken over tech spaces is... bland and corporate.
Ooops, I'm kind of in the same boat as the first described user. Having videos behind a custom paywalled website hosted by vimeo. Looked at analytics right now, 12k minutes played and 200gb transferred in the last month, let's hope that does not put me in the top 1%, I don't want to be forced into a painful migration to something like cloudflare stream.

Edit: I'm paying for the "pro" vimeo option currently.
I think those are all good ideas. Minimalist design trends have nothing to do with generational taste, and everything to do with practicality. As technology became more ubiquitous we had to design for less technically-literate people, period. Simplicity, if nothing else, generally makes it harder for people to get in trouble with the UI. It definitely went too far, but the inspiration was for the most part usability, not aesthetics.

The rate of acceleration is limited by the tire, and EVs usually have low rolling resistance tires. And those same EVs also have traction control that's calibrated for these same tires. The end result is that the EVs are just as controllable as regular ICE cars. I'd argue that due to the linear power delivery, they are more predictable, unlike some ICE cars. If a human is incapable of operating an EV, they wouldn't be capable of operating an ICE car either, and as such they shouldn't be in possession of a drivers license.
A Better Model for Stacked (GitHub) Pull Requests
Yeah I hate to always be that guy, but while I think Tor is great in that it exists at all and has inspired other projects, I think I2P is an overall better design. Not having a history with the US military or funding from DARPA is a plus, IMO. Tor isn't necessarily flawed for that reason, but I trust less anything the US government takes an interest in.

For anyone wondering what we're talking about:

https://geti2p.net (Official Java implementation)

https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd (C++ implementation)

The unfortunate thing is that, as far as I'm aware, I2P doesn't have a "Tor Browser" of sorts, and most people would want to use I2P as a clearnet proxy; the audience for I2P may always be significantly less than that of Tor even if it was revealed that Tor was totally flawed.

I think that I2P could benefit from selling itself less as a means of anonymity and more as decentralized, censorship-resistant web hosting. The clearnet should then have inproxies to expose I2P sites rather than the other way around, as is the typical use case for Tor. That way you can spin up an I2P instance anywhere, instantly have a web server on a unique address, and have it be available on any number of clearnet inproxy nodes as well as to anyone connected directly to the network.

Having played a lot with I2P recently, I find it more "fun" than using Tor. It lacks in content, but its focus on hidden services (eepsites) and the relatively small number of users is reminiscent of he web back when I first started using it in the 90s. I like that it has a sort of DNS system that is only as centralized as you want it, and that it has a built in way of assigning your own domain aliases. Even if you (the reader) aren't interested in anonymous decentralized networking for any practical reason, I'd say it's worth testing out I2P just to get a kick out of how novel it is.
Given the insignificant effort and marginal cost required by a profitable but low margin customer, the only customers they should refuse are unprofitable ones, which should never exist in the first place if they have reasonable pricing plans and accounting. Some theories:

- Formerly marginal customers have become unprofitable due to a cost increase, which might be caused by severe technical blunders.

- Someone is deliberately paid (or bullied) to increase margin, even if it means decreasing profit and goodwill, or to purge customers that don't fit a certain profile, or to hurt the "YouTube competitor" department within the company. This sort of "strategy" appears to imply a whole chain of command of idiots and/or sociopaths.

- Personnel is stretched so thin that instead of hiring they need to move staff from low-value video hosting (hurting what should be their main technical capability, hosting videos tout court) to profitable video hosting (or some bet on a new project).
You're wrong because Twapper has a market cap of 65 billion dollars. People love reading things by scrolling down, and then up. And then scrolling down again, pawing at their pocket-sized supercomputers like monkeys before the Monolith.
It's very funny to read the highs and lows from "not a car guy." The big secret about modern cars is that a new Camry is roughly on the quality level of luxury cars from 10-15 years ago. As you spend more, you get more, but cars are really better than they've ever been in more ways than just power.

However, I don't think that cars being more fun than ever before is contrary to goals of reducing how much the average person drives. Better cars, fun, torquey EVs, and the like are not what is stopping construction of protected bike lanes and light rail. Having cars that have sucked for decades has not slowed the expansion of car-centric suburban sprawl around cities like Denver and Seattle.

A personal anecdote: last year I moved to another state, and I looked for housing with a lot of my core needs within walking distance. Having secured this, I proceeded to buy the most fun, least practical car my budget would allow. It's OK to want infrastructure that doesn't cater to cars, but still enjoy driving for driving's own sake.
American Football is played outside the US and is growing in popularity. Watching NFL games in bars in Mexico City is a lot of fun, and I'm not much of a sports fan.

A subset of this could possibly be applied at the wasm-opt level, but consider that at the LLVM's IR level there is more information to be leveraged (in particular PartialExecuter uses information on what memory ranges are read-only).

In general the whole concept behind Cheerp (C++ to WebAssembly + JavaScript compiler) is doing as much as possible at the LLVM IR level, JavaScript concept included, since it's easier and more powerful to do code transformation there.
When I worked at GS in London in 2019, they were moving out of three different (and rather nice) buildings into a single (and rather depressing) office. During the time that construction took place the presence in London had grown significantly, resulting in there being too many people for the available space.

So some teams were told that a certain number of people had to work from home several days a week, and everyone in Engineering was hot-desking... so you might not be sat with people you are working with. Couple that with the fact that most people are working mainly with people in other regions (or just on other floors - it's a big building) over Zoom, and it's hard to see much distinction between in-office and remote.
the 5500 is a monolithic die, it's based on the monolithic APU lineup rather than the chiplet enthusiast lineup.

This also implies other limitations like PCIe 3.0 and half the cache of the equivalent enthusiast lineup, because that's how the laptop chips were designed. The APU lineup has always performed a bit worse than the equivalent desktop lineup as a result.

"Enhanced interrogation techniques" is one of the reasons why the US no longer recognizes the ICC jurisdiction.
Exactly, at least it was easy to just not share with that team.

A couple years later an engineering manager at the same level gave another presentation about how innovation and ideas have been lacking. He placed the blame on software engineers not trying hard enough.

I think there's a certain type of person who thinks that the only type of success is one where all of the profit/credit goes to them. Sadly, they seem to be the leaders of many organizations.
I'm not arguing that you can plop a stadium down anywhere and be assured of an entire industry swooping in to cluster around it; I'm arguing that in some situations (particularly the transit-rich urban shells of former industrial/pier/warehouse areas) a stadium can be the catalyst that breaks through the chicken-and-egg barrier and unleashes the neighborhood's latent potential.

The area around Levi's Stadium didn't really have much latent potential waiting to be unleashed.
> I think complexity is definitely part of it but it is also mis-aligned incentives. The person running an assembly line has a vested interest in changing nothing.

Is this really a case of mis-aligned incentives though?

The person running the assembly line has an interest in the business model of the company not being destroyed, because their salary depends upon it working. So they'll try to prevent the worst (to the business model) from happening.
Risking to break some important production process for a lousy low percentage potential gain in efficiency sure doesn't seem to be in the interest of neither the individual person, nor the company, nor the customer.

As you write: the risks and benefits need to be carefully weighed perpetually .. simply an ongoing optimisation.
