He was a great boss indeed. We didn't click on personal level, but he was good leader and I respect him even more because he didn't need to be buddies with people in order to have great work relationship.

Did anybody read this part?

I see a lot of comments along the lines of "well we're at war with you" or "you'll get your access back once Ukraine stops being bombed", with the justification that anyone living in Russia has the duty to "rise up" and stop the war locally. To be these responses seem thoroughly un-nuanced and flippant. Its absolutely true that to stop the war, you need to get rid of Putin, but its not clear that there's a connection between dropping clients and getting rid of Putin. In fact this is probably counterproductive and strengthen's Putin's grip on the population even further.

The usual mechanism given is "if we annoy the people enough, they'll rise up on the streets and demand change". First, this assumes that if you annoy people, they'll transfer their anger to the regime. This is only true for a subgroup of affected people; the rest will just be angry at the sanctioning party and direct their anger through the regime into even stronger pro-war support. But for the people who might be motivated to protest, its not clear whether or not their actions will be effective. Because we're talking about a dictatorship, individual action carries both high personal risk and is unlikely to be very effective. There are exceptions to this rule, for example, Marina Ovsyannikova, but ordinary people going to the streets and holding up signs is only likely to end up with more people in jail (and potentially more people conscripted into the army). There is also the objection that mass-protest will make a difference, which, perhaps it will, but that requires co-ordination and a critical mass.

The second thing to say here (relevant to what I quoted from OP) is that Mailchimp is infrastructure which is in use by the local resistance. By blanket cutting-off Russia, you're also hindering the local resistance as well. If one wants to take a principled stand, its probably fine to cut off regular businesses that have nothing to do with it (with the caveat that you might just make them angry at you), but throwing out the baby with the bathwater and cutting off the local resistance is just completely counterproductive. Due to the inability to make payments outside the country, their only options for replacement infrastructure are local, which are more likely to be under state influence and censorship. So now their only options are to shut down and stop organizing the resistance to the regime, or engage in self-censorship, which might as well just be shutting down.

> it seems like not much ill-will was generated as a result

That's because any ill-will at a government level would have been futile and disproportionate. There was public outrage at the wiretapping but largely the general assumption seems to have been that the US intelligence operates freely in Germany. That US intelligence services engage in surveillance against even close allies was an open secret and most likely widely known among German intelligence agencies and possibly the government too.

Historically, Germany post-WW2 existed at the whim of the US, France and UK. The governments of the occupation forces in the territory of West Germany had special legal rights based on contracts pre-dating and superceding the German constitution. Officially most of those special provisions expired but there's nothing in the original contracts requiring any successor contracts to be publicly acknowledged so depending on how much you like tinfoil hats, it's entirely possible that the US still holds a legal wildcard in German law.

And even if the US had no special legal exemptions, what would that ill-will translate to? Germans opposed the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq but the German government continued to operate as usual, to the point of participating in "peacekeeping" during the military occupation following the regime changes.

Sanctioning the US would be economic suicide. Despite the outrage about human rights abuses, Germany still isn't sanctioning China. Russia got away with various abuses and even political assassinations without actual consequences because Russian gas was an important import. And the US not only dominates large parts of the German economy but also its culture.
That assumes the experts are indeed experts and not just saying no to an experienced consultant/contractor that management hired. Though I agree from the perspective that if the system goes down after the consultant leaves, it’s not their problem.

I’ve been around enough to know that these ultimately are political and cultural problems, and you either have to expect change to be slow in these situations or leave to find a different team…

I’ve tried a bit of both, and gotten frustrated, and in the end, the stance I’ve settled on is to be helpful to change people’s minds. It’s hard though. Being persistent and pushy with help will fail. Having the person you’re helping describe a problem or agree something is a problem, that is the first step to helping find a solution.

I guess another way of putting it is management can suggest using technology X but there should be some kind of identifiable problem to solve. There is always the exception though. For example, the problem identified might be that there are too many technologies and X is the new standard. That’s… sometimes the reason and … what can you do? Having been on both sides of the fence here, you never know, X might not be so bad… or you’ll need to fix a ton of bugs.

As long as you stay happy and helpful, you can maybe nudge things in the right direction? For example: X has uptime issues. If X is already adopted, document the known issues for devs or DevOps, or identify consultants for X that can provide training and support. Figure out how to get data into and out of X if you want to refactor later to a different approach and political winds blow that way. Write cheat sheets that can map what you’re using now to Technology X, and what might be unexpected.

Who knows, maybe enough people will have heard or seen your materials on Technology X that they’re not as impressed or share your viewpoint on it. And if you’re really unlucky, you’ll set yourself up to be the cheerleader for technology X. So… there are both risks and benefits to getting too involved in technology shifts/adoption.

"Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail, blue skies from
pain" [1]

Did you exchange cold comfort for change? You can believe anything
you like for a price.

Williams proffers that bullshit, and believing crazy things is a
mutual stroking behaviour of a mass huddled together in the comfort of
collective ignorance, and that within that group there are rewards for
dreaming up the most soothing stories. He extends this beyond Harry
Frankfurt's position to say that an entire "economy of bullshit"
exists. and that its trade could be "an economic good".

This is why in Plato, Shakespeare, Cicero and so many luminaries, it
is always the _mad_ (the fool) who deliver the truth. Only despised
outsiders who have no skin in the collective self-delusion game are
able to break the norms and deliver the unwelcome message. Further,
(Foucault, Cassandra etc) there's a market in silencing truth speakers
who rock the boat of profitable rationalisation.

Take this other example: https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/nebP68Tx8

Here by playing HumanCompiler it should be possible to prove that the if condition never evaluates to true, so removing the if is safe.

This is an example of optimization that PartialExecuter is able to do.
Note that some combinations of other optimizations might also be potentially able to get to this result (say adding a tag "is always power of 2", but doing this in a general way it's what PartialExecuter does well).

Somehow similarly, clang might be instructed to enable a check to avoid including printf_float and somehow detect it and exclude it (this is what happens here), but this is hardly generalizable.
That's right. That's a problem for management to solve though, not for the guy in the center who could have succeeded all over the place where everybody else keeps failing all the time.

If that's really the case. It could also be the case that there are sometimes just different opinions, and one side of the argument is just more persistent and dominant and "just does it themselves", instead of accepting that a different solution would also have brought the org to a good result. Then that lone superstar gets frustrated (because they think they have to do things themselves), their colleagues get frustrated (because there is that guy that just does things on their own and better be quiet than pick a fight) and it's overall not sustainable for the org. Again, a problem for management to solve.
Awesome, now I don't have to make my bubble myself, I can just have Twitter block everyone that may have a different opinion on a matter outright.
As I’m growing older, I appreciate those typefaces for the sheer fucking contrast and readability they have. On low DPI screens, I seek bitmap fonts for the UI (and it disappoints me that the support for them in toolkits seems to be getting shoddier, to the point that it’s easier to use TrueType fonts that mimic bitmaps); on high DPI screens, I’m using serif fonts.

I’m toying with the idea of purely black and white themes so I can use them on my eInk screens, too, pity there’s so little time.
Definitely, my prioritized as mentioned in my post; lied with my well-being, and not just getting a pay raise, otherwise I would've stayed. It could be argued that I could get a raise somewhere else, and I also have gotten that, but not the amount I would've gotten if I stayed. I am still quite early in my career, and I am already in the upper bounds of what I can make as an employee given the length of my career (99th percentile). And when finding a new job, even when I've gotten recommendations been difficult for them to even match my old salary, simply because I haven't been out of university that long, but command a much higher salary than normal.

Would you as a product owner / manager hire an engineer that has been out of university for two years with a bachelors, given that person says he wants a senior/lead engineer salary? Honestly, from my experience even when I've gotten recommendations, talked about previous projects, they still don't want to shell out what I cost.

The plan is definitely to keep pursuing new experiences and at some point either begin consulting or start a startup. But for now I want to experience a few different companies. I also want a few projects under my belt before I begin doing that. That said I am already in the 99th percentile in my country given my length of career, so I have nothing to complain about, but I am definitely gonna keep pushing.

And honestly right now my priority is not making the big bucks, I could pursue that, but I'd much rather work on awesome projects than slave away at some legacy code for the maximum amount of money.
Not sure if it still exists but there was a tool which let you mass block accounts. I've got no idea what you needed to do to end up on one of the lists that shipped with it - but it seemed rather sketchy. I'm also not sure what would motivate someone to spend time on such a thing; Twitter is already enough of an echo chamber.
After the US mainly went back on its words to not threaten Russian security using nuclear weapons. Gorbachev was a fool to trust the Americans (and Americans themselves have criticised this kind of political backstabbing).
Or not to think about using Palantir to build a UI over an ERP-system because certain people refuse to work directly in the ERP.
It's called the Technical Ghetto.

The basic problem is technical folks who are too good at being technical to be allowed to do any management or less technical stuff.

I've seen it time and time again in my career. I've discussed it at length with colleagues and peers. I've seen very few people escape it. Only once have I seen someone escape it without moving jobs (new company, not in-company). And that one time was due to a succession crisis which meant the person in question had to be promoted into a more senior management role.

The absolute classic was a guy I worked with at a major international telco. He was promoted into country CEO role. 3 months later and he was moved to be CTO in another country because they couldn't find anyone else competent to take the CTO role during a major rollout. He called me a couple of years later - he is now CEO of his own SAAS business, and very successful.

Option A) You truly are indispensable and critical to the project, and soon you're going to be their best-paid employee.

Option B) They will now find ways to make you dispensable. And then you'll qualify for that promotion.

Agreed. I noticed that a lot of websites only really started supporting Unicode properly once emojis started becoming popular. When Unicode was "just" accented characters, a lot of English speaking devs didn't bother and happily lived in an ASCII-only world.
How does this improve startup time for CLI tools? That only helps the developer.

> So all operations on _Atomic variables in C11 are implicitly atomic

I may be wrong, but I would be shocked if this was so.

I think you may be mixing up non-tearing writes as opposed to atomic writes, which are performed using either cache-line locking (Intel) or exclusive reservation granules (everyone else) and as such require the employment of a specific mechanism to achieve (typically a macro or function, which leads to the use of the particular special instructions for atomic writes).

The overhead of an atomic write is very large, and it is often not needed. It would make no sense for every write (to an _Atomic type) to be atomic.
This reminds me of why I closed my Twitter. The final straw was I was tweeting back and forth with someone directly, and discovered it was not giving me notifications of their replies. If I would go open my last tweet, their reply would be hidden under some kind of “more tweets…” interface. I realized it was automatically but lightly suppressing the other party’s tweets to me.

I am talking to someone directly, it’s a mild conversation and a computer is jumping in the way like a secret service agent in front of the President.

Can I refuse the computer’s “help” in deciding who is allowed to address me? No? Ok — it’s broken.

After a year of regular use I deleted my account at once.

A rich Russian has offshore accounts and property in a few countries. One of their dozens of boats is expropriated and you expect them to fly to Russia and start a rebellion?

Middle-class people in the country with families to feed will not rebel and risk death; and when they become impoverished due to their government’s policies and global retaliation it will be too late.

Just be aware that it might mean for you that you catch COVID and will be sick in your holiday.

I got COVID from one event 3 weeks ago and it threw my plans around.

It wasn't that big of an issue as I have a booster but I planed to visit a close friend who does cancer treatment and I was quite happy that he had no time for a short visit as I learned about my COVID invection two days later and I don't want to put him on unnecessary risk.

Let's see and hope covids route to endemic is getting easier and easier.
As I was reading this I thought how much it sounded like organized religion. In a way it is, albeit from a few hundred years ago maybe.
No precise definition of what constitutes repetitive, spammy or abusive replies. They even say "indiscriminate" following & unrelated hashtags can get the user autoblocked, which sounds like overreach. Considering some replies far exceed the silly Twitter character limit necessitating multiple replies, will those be struck down by autoblock as "repetitive"?

Twitter seems to be slowly moving in the direction of FB, which is already a moribund graveyard. Shooting themselves in the foot by diluting their key strengths? Seems sensible.

I quite like to see the obvious spin in the article and how it addresses this.

Paraphrasing: "it's not that she's clueless, she's empowering her employees and advisors (many of them women and minorities), by asking them whats going on"

The implication is that all politicians should know nothing! Indeed it's a responsibility to not know anything and be clueless in order to empower those with brains.
I agree, specialize at all costs. Reading “Book Yourself Solid” and doing the exercises was incredibly helpful to me.

Great, beautiful work BTW! Good choice using field monitors instead of consumer screens but consumer cameras usually perform image compression, even on live HDMI outputs. Not sure if that applies to your cameras but am curious if high frequency detail would become more apparent between RAW/compressed with all these feedback loops amplifying tiny differences.

How True Are Your d20s? (2013)
Confluence search is alright. The problem with Confluence is the undisciplined people who mess up their spaces to the point where the search comes up with too many mostly duplicate results, where you can't be sure which one is the latest valid version.

At my job, we use Confluence extensively, with dozens if not hundreds of spaces, and in some spaces, searching for something is a delight, while in others it is impossible to find anything without already knowing their byzantine structure.

Usually, the "good" spaces are ones with one or three "custodians" who mercilessly impose a sane structure upon the space. The "bad" spaces are always those where dozens of people create articles and sections as they see fit, without any coordination.
Apparently there's no notable distinction - to quote from the article, "Beyond the plant’s size, there’s no way to be certain that a Conophytum for sale in a plant store didn’t come from the wild. Conos quickly “shed the battle scars of nature”—sun-weathered leaves or dirt mounds". So on one side it's hard to tell if a plant is cultivated or poached (making it easy to obfuscate the origins of poached plants), and on the other side it takes decades to grow a plant to a size which makes it valuable (so poaching becomes attractive).

- offer small transaction anonymity

at least I reckon it's solvable.
