> They didn't need to have it figured it out, just recognized that they didn't know what they're doing, were unable of being any help, and stayed quiet instead of blindly making things up.

You're basically advocating that they stop doing their jobs, and let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Think of it this way: Imagine you're a general in a war. It would be the most reckless kind of incompetence to refrain from giving any orders until you worked out a surefire plan to defeat the enemy, since that kind of inaction is literally a recipe for defeat. In the real world, to actually solve real problems, it's pretty much a requirement for responsible people to take action based on incomplete information and imperfect understanding.
Hourlong meditation sessions will 100% improve your focus.

But it sounds like your problem isn't focus. It's prioritization.

It tend to include a large proportion of the large, expensive reporting queries your business people want to do. Whether or not those kinds of queries dominates for your system will depend greatly on your system.

You also need to reach a certain scale before the choice (either way) will affect you enough to matter.

But when you reach that scale it can be the difference between reporting queries taking seconds vs. hours in some cases.

For some systems you'll end up wanting both, and stream updates from the transaction focused db (row oriented) into a separate reporting database that uses a column store.

> And I start new projects all the time. They all have potential. But I do so many of them that none really gets enough attention to grow.

People vastly overestimate the free time they have, and vastly underestimate the time it takes to take a project to completion.

Try to limit it to one project at a time and put all the other projects on a "Do Not Do List" until that one project is done. And now for the key part: Track how long it takes to get that one project done.

It wasn't until I did this did the gulf between perception and reality hit me. I used to plan projects for the whole year, and began to reflect on the list at the end of the year. It always looked like a failure. When I began the One Project at a Time rule, I found I could get only 2-3 done in a year, when I was consistently planning for 5-10.

That's what I work on, I'll send you an email (if I find your address somewhere)!
Here is an idea:

run it on old batches and see if you can predict which ones went on to raise a Series A, B, C or liquidity event.

Note: you might have to adjust for year since a Seed round in 2020 looks like a Series A in 2010.

Edit: I realize you have to figure out which companies raised out of 100s. As always, the data curation is harder than the algo. Not sure if techcrunch allows scraping.

You repeatedly attempt to put words into people's mouths.

GP never said those words were "the most important thing to (them)". If anything, they seem more concerned that if they "state the simple biological definitions" will bring up people exactly like you, accusing them of the transphobia and potentially getting them banned (on a platform like Twitter).

You are not well-intentioned at all in this discussion: there was no reason to go on the banter to the extent you did.

I'd understand it if you said that we are at a time where we are challenging those definitions as they used to stand, as long as you recognize that "definitions", by definition, are prescriptive and need to be agreed between people to make them widely accepted. So I can define whatever terms I want the way I like them, it does not make them so unless I can get enough people to start using them that way, or ideally included in one of the well-known dictionaries of a language.

Yes, really, it can, because a checkerboard test along with other fine detail tests and frame rate tests was what I put the device through to make sure I really received what I needed. It correctly manages exactly what I stated: 1080p at 30 fps, 720p at 60 fps. It's a let-down since the specs claimed otherwise, but that's what it can do.

I have found that I can focus intensely by wearing headphones while working on my laptop. I listen to non lyric music at https://somafm.com/dronezone/. I have found that this attenuates background noises and speech. I can still hear people talking to me but they tend to leave me alone unless the matter is urgent because I am wearing headphones. I have been doing this since 2005 and have found I get a lot more done with much less stress and the music tends to enhance my thinking, creativity and focus. I use this technique while working and my work is computer based. It's pretty much a soundtrack for working. I also use this technique while walking as it stimulates inner dialog in thinking and problem solving which naturally happens when taking 30 minute health walks. This may not work for everyone but has worked for me in high tech start up environments.
Far more likely he wants to drastically curtail the moderation and account banning. He's basically a free-speech absolutist.
>> Most people do not use Twitter at all.

> Read-only is still using it.

Sure, but that's a separate thing. Lots of people don't use Twitter at all. Then, there is a smaller but huge group that uses it purely to read. Then, there is a smaller but large group that writes. Then, there is a tiny group that writes a lot.
That's true - One Medical is definitely responding to a real need (lack of easy access to primary care). I don't think they'll outright collapse like the other examples, but I would think/hope there's a major shake up in their leadership.

They've done a good job at creating a real loyal base of customers, but they've also painted themselves into a corner with their business model. On one hand, they sell memberships en masse to self-insured employers claiming they lower total cost of care so can save them money. On the other hand, they're building partnerships with large healthcare systems, where the partners view One Medical as a source of insured patients that will eventually need specialty services. But large healthcare systems are notorious for being expensive. So, their two main business models are in conflict with each other. I think some of the things we're seeing are a reflection of this lack of a coherent strategy, and some of the flailing that comes with different arms of the business having opposing needs.

It's interesting you mention their integrated EMR. One Medical builds their own medical record system and patient app. My understanding is it doesn't use any of the standards the rest of the health tech world uses, which is why (last I heard) they weren't offering HealthKit integration -- not that there's not a demand for it (with such a tech focused user based, I imagine it's a common request), but rather they couldn't deliver on it quickly because their infrastructure just isn't set up that way.
A contributor to that dynamic is that it isn’t always going straight towards the police department: it’s corrupting even if it is going into a general fund for the locality which sets the police budget.

Further, that doesn’t address the potential for decreased costs for law enforcement.
Blacklane | Senior Infrastructure Engineer| Spain or Germany | Full Time | https://www.blacklane.com/en/

Blacklane is a scale-up started in 2011, founded by Jens Wohltorf and Frank Steuer who wanted to create the first global chauffeur service. We started by filling chauffeurs’ ‘empty leg’ journeys and have grown with our partners to over €100 million in annual revenue (pre-pandemic). Backed by Daimler and other investors in Germany, Japan, Switzerland, and the UAE, we’re now a trusted brand within corporate travel.

We are looking for an Infrastructure Engineer to help us migrate our apps to Kubernetes and support us in maintaining, scaling, and monitoring our AWS infrastructure. As part of our infrastructure team, you will follow best practices like writing infrastructure as code, automating test and release processes, monitoring, and alerting.

You will help us kill a monolith by developing tools that make our developers’ lives easier when interacting with our CI/CD pipelines and our Kubernetes cluster. You will support them whenever they have infrastructure-related questions.

Doubtful. 20 years ago, the dot com bubble had just burst, there was no money in tech, and jobs were sparse enough that employers tend to require a CS degree and they'd have no shortage of applicants. Microsoft, one of the few (remaining) leading software companies, was famous for asking brain teasers like "Why are manhole covers round?" (I'm not sure whether they asked difficult programming questions -- IIRC Google started the trend later)

The rush of people trying to enter the software industry only happened in the past couple years I think. The demand due to the tech boom drove up both the pay and the numbers of workers employed. Sure, it's probably even harder to enter the top tier companies, but I believe there are much more opportunities than 20 years ago.
Since houses have been built rather similarly from 1950s to today they would use very similar energy usage. Until we change how homes are built we wont see drastic decreases in energy use.

Comparing California to Arizona is very misleading, California has many more homes in colder regions than compared to Arizona. I think that is why you are seeing such similarity between the two states, if account for the climate differences California would clearly have the advantage.
Interesting. I hope there is not a general policy of discouraging documents on Flickr because a Flickr album I personal refer to often consists entirely of scanned maps and papers.

The agreement is normal, and occurs between "does" and "connector". The weird thing is the word order.

Many people enjoyed the original Doom, and that was a technical breakthrough (first real-time 3d engine with non-orthogonal surfaces). Of course adding raytracing to Doom doesn't add much enjoyment, you'd have to redesign the game to exploit raytracing to achieve that. And Super Mario or a game of Poker with friends might still be more enjoyable than that, but there's room for different categories of enjoyment
In my head I was thinking of a definition like the one below when I wrote that:

"Spam is irrelevant or inappropriate messages sent on the Internet to a large number of recipients." - https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7048231

When people sign up for Gophercises, the first two emails I send them are about the course asking how the course is going, if they had issues with the player, etc.

After that they get Go related emails. Eg https://ckarchive.com/b/0vuwh9hvx32q Again, not really irrelevant given the interest in learning Go, and 99% of the people I talk to love those emails.

Maybe 3-4x per year I'll have a sale on my other paid courses. During those times people who have been on my mailing list for a set period of time (I think it is at least 10 days and have received at least 2 previous emails from me without unsubscribing, but I'd need to double check) will get a notice about the sale. I try to avoid being super annoying with those, so they will often contain useful lessons about coding with Go even if you aren't interested in the sale.

I make my living selling Go courses. I was only able to create and offer Gophercises as a free course because of this, so yes, I require an email address and I use Gophercises as a marketing tool. I try to make it a decent experience, but no matter what I do someone will always complain. I find my time is better spent helping the people who enjoy and appreciate what I am doing.
I'd be perfectly happy to put up with the rampant bot problem forever if it meant the censorship problem went away forever. And don't pretend censorship is actually even an effective solution: remember that today we have a bot problem and a censorship problem.

Increasing speed limits to reflect the prevailing traffic speeds has long since been found to increase the speeds of most of the slowest traffic (the people blindly adhering to the posted number) and and reduce the amount of passing, lane changing and other interactions thereby increasing safety.

Basically the more homogeneous in speed and behavior the traffic is the safer it is.

You should be able to Google up some civil engineering studies at will. This stuff was "new" decades ago.
How to power ANYTHING using USB-C Power Delivery
Came to say this. I actually find QuickJS pretty easy to understand and modify, in part because everything is one file and it's easy to search, using vim's `#` and `*` keys, for example.

When working on projects by myself, I like putting everything in one big file too. Trying to find the "right" place for something is some unnecessary overhead, not to mention the navigation cost. It's a different story when a team is involved though.

The wisdom of that curly activation can be debated, since in every extreme-point (horizontal) the gradients are zero, and all activations will eventually be trapped or centered there. Histogram plots can be revealing to understand activations.

Very cool graphics.
I'm going to skip my normal "china capitalism = lie-based profit" spiel and simply suggest that if we're going to be buying Chinese c̶r̶a̶p̶ stuff (thanks a lot for supporting a Communist dictatorship, Amazon), we need a way to publicly shame online the folks that try to pull this crap either by lying about the true device specifications, lying about the expected reliability, lying about the expected compatibility etc.

I'm literally so tired of Chinese lying that it's pushing me more towards my family's Catholicism (I'm a near-atheist) just because honesty is a core value with them, and with the atheist Chinese, it's simply not, as is clear from any number of blog posts on the topic (not to mention "a percentage of any given business transactions"). https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/in-china-honesty-is-not-th...

I am already living in a 1st world country, just with a low salary, but at least writing software. I'm waiting for the permanent residency to start seriously interviewing everywhere and I am already on the leetcode grind

FAANG for me is just a dream because of the salary. I don't think there is anywhere in continental Europe where you can make well over €100k per year other than google/meta.

Overall I think positively of the 7-8 rounds of interview + leetcode grind. If it was just because of resume or credentials, I'm not so sure someone with a darker skin tone and clearly foreign sounding name like me would even get a chance to interview. I think tech is very empowering for us, "smart" people from the minorities, at least it gives us hope of fairness and objectivity
I agree it might not work for you. But for most people, it is just a matter of never having put in enough effort. If you have tried waking up early with a good night's sleep consistently for a long period of time, and it still doesn't work for you, then sure.

Also it depends on your age. I remember seeing some research on why we shouldn't be waking up teenagers in early morning. So if you had a bad time waking up early as a kid, it might not be true as an adult.
This is very common, and why I avoid add-on or user-script based solutions that click “reject all” – the authors of those awful dialogues will find yet another way of turning “reject all” into “go right ahead”.

“Legitimate interest” is proof that “your privacy is valuable to us” just means “we are happy to shatter your privacy in exchange for some value”. Every “legitimate interest” box basically says “we see your preference, but fuck you and your preferences”.
The "many options" I'm talking about are otherwise known as "left-wing politics". Unionisation, building a cooperative-based economy, UBI (though for some reason this has right-wing support too), minimum wages, nationalising important industries and resources, building systems of mutual aid, honestly I could go on for a while. Equality versus hierarchy is what the left-right political struggle is about, after all.
> Besides, sometimes when you're sad or tired or just need a break, you just want to relax and do something more mindless.

There are plenty of options beyond social media. Take a walk. Do some hobby, read something physical, etc. The issue with social media is that compared to most alternatives, it's easier to lose track of time, and easier to get addicted.

Not sure how old you are, but as another commenter pointed out, many of us spent a good chunk of our life - even adult life - without constant-on Internet. The quality of life was not at all worse.
Similarly to OwnTracks, there's a NextCloud app called PhoneTrack (together with an Android app that has the same name) that provides location tracking. Been using it for some weeks and the NC integration is pretty neat. It allows separate and simultaneous logging of tracks, useful when you want to keep a full one for yourself and send a specific one (when driving long distances for example) to relatives.
Stepan Bandera, who is highly respected in Ukraine, had a reputation during WW2 of mass murdering Ukrainians who were "insufficiently Ukrainian". Its not unreasonable to ask for an independent investigation by the UN/ICC before assigning blame.

Also, on your first point, considering that many atrocities in the Middle East are ongoing, it is highly relevant. When the West has shown that it doesn't give a crap about war crimes in the Middle East/South America which it is complicit in, then why should they give a crap about war crimes in Europe?

This again goes to show what a kleptocratic symbol American media platforms have become, and serves as an argument against those who think private entities such as Twitter and Facebook should be outside the scope of first amendment and amended of section 230.
