It sounds like these anecdotes are related to internal business systems. In over a decade I've only once seen a place that dedicated an actual FTE to internal product management, and that was because a whole team was dedicated to building those internal tools.

Much more likely, I'd guess, is that either nobody was responsible or the person ostensibly responsible had other things to focus on. The way these systems are usually supported is no official resourcing, but rather "grab Mark's time when he's in the office."

Yes, because when the American government controls Twitter, you can be certain all views will be respected and treated impartially...
You don't need to explain the benefit of a general philosophical education, friend - I have a few areas that I've learned about because I think they approach truth, while not being directly applicable. My ontological perspective is made up of a mix of Deleuze, Whitehead, Zen and cybernetics, for instance - it sits in the background guiding my perspective while not being 'a tool' as such. Agreed on the middle path; an education in the liberal arts can contribute to general development and actualisation.
It should not be. You're able to easily pin multiple specific nixpkg versions in a flake.
The hand wringing and gnashing of teeth in this article is a bit much. Is America splitting by sexuality because different dating apps and media properties are popular with each group? Some balkanization is inevitable when systems with network effects and low initial switching costs serve a heterogenous population.
I have a question, why is there not trust "USB switch"es (akin to a usb 2.0 hub) available? Like something that takes one usb-c port and makes multiple usb-c ports?

The point of bootcamp isn’t just for you to learn how to do this or that, it’s also about breaking you of your individualist civilian mentality and molding you into a soldier/sailor/marine/airman who can put the mission and their fellow service members above themselves. Being yelled at is negative reenforcement and quickly helps you understand your mistakes. Camaraderie also flourishes when you all hate your drill instructor. When you get out and join the real military, you often think back some drill instructors as the “stern but fair” types.

Navy bootcamp was surprisingly easy. You quickly figure out what they can and cannot do, how many push-ups you have to do before they’ll let you up, how long they can make you PT, etc. We still had people who couldn’t handle it and were sent home. It was probably for the best. The military isn’t always easy and it really helps to be resilient. If someone criticizes you for doing something stupid and accept that you did a stupid thing, or you can’t let it go, you may not get very far.
It doesn't say much about TikTok's algorithm, but it did help me imagine something like the US invading Iraq and me not being able to find out because Twitter blocked new tweets here.
I like the idea. A package manager that can be used on several languages but simple enough to pick up in 15mins or less.

Just today on trying to get rvm to do something I got angry at the number of language-specific package managers I have installed: nvm, jenv, rvm, rbenv(after I couldn't get rvm...)

Of course, I know about Nix but it is too complex for my use cases.
Now do Yemeni TikTok and the US.
We can still blame the regulator, that they introduced legislation they do not enforce. If all those dark pattern usages would lead to prosecution, they would be gone already.

I fear the assumption was that the market participants would be enticed to force each other to comply, but what if all participants want to break the law?
Of course it's not certain -- it's a model. It's based on existing plans, not current behaviour, which is the only data you can realistically draw predictions from. As governments implement further policies the model can be updated. How else do you think this should work?

> I don't think that doing the right thing should be punished.

I don't say that doing the right thing should be punished. I think the circumstances should be investigated and if it looks like someone did stole it that person or persons should be punished.

> It may be unlikely, but I think that it is possible that the process for handling these materials failed somewhere and it took twenty years for someone to come across them.

Sure and that is the innocent explanation. Are you saying that we shouldn't even investigate because there is a chance that it might be something innocent? Because that is what the original comment is asking about.

> I could also understand why someone would rather burn something than deal with a slow and possibly misdirected justice system.

I also can understand it. It still a terrible thing to do, and anyone who would do it I would consider a bad person.
Installing NixOS on modern macOS nowadays is super trivial. Copy+paste command from website, follow instructions, optionally enable flakes in a config file.
That's it.
The Nix crowd is becoming a lot like the Rust crowd-- they hijack every conversation with "Have you tried Nix"?

Like you, I find Nix hard to use and the docs confusing (beyond trivial examples). The amount of time the Nix mafia spends proselyting could be better spent making better docs

It's almost like spending half of your life and career under the umbrella of the USSR makes people vulnerable to be influenced by russian forces.
I was sick at home and finally picked up the Neuromancer which had been sitting in the bookshelf for years.

It was an experience indeed. At many points, very high concept (which of course has been copied to death). At other points, naive. Surprisingly few things felt old fashioned.

The biggest let down was the unrealistic behavior and motivation of people. It felt very much like an adventure game where everything revolves around the main character.

EDIT: To clarify, I liked the book very much.

> My main pain point with USB-C is all the confusion and missing specs.

Worse is that, to a search engine, every USB product is exactly the same. Search engines take very specific queries and overgeneralize them to the point of uselessness. In the case of USB cables, basically every conductor fits--yes, even the god damned Romex. Some hyperbole sure, but it's hard to find a cable that can do more than charge a phone. "Smart" search engine "AI" has "learned" that SuperSpeed = USB = Wire = Romex. Auh god it's hard to put down the bitter sarcasm.

Having to click hundreds of product pages to look for specifics that a search engine stripped away is hell. It's not even like it's limited to USB. Try finding memory... surprise! Just like everything is a USB.... everything is a DDR. ECC, the very specific thing you need, is DDR. It literally doesn't matter if you put ECC in your query. Because DDR = DDR.

Specs don't help sell the product because search engines will take all of that spec sheet and decide it's exactly "USB."

And don't get me started on bad product pages that claim to sell "SuperSpeed 480 Mbit/s charging cables" Yup, Optimized. What does a search engine learn about that product page? Some people buy it therefore: relevance +9999. "I was tricked" never makes it back to the engine. You can't even flag a product page as inaccurate anymore.

I'm so exhausted that I don't want to buy anything anymore. Search engines were better when they gave you two results for some queries. At least then you knew that the engine wasn't capable of servicing the query in a useful way. You used to be able to hone your "search skill." No longer. You don't need to because now we have learning machines that... can't tell the difference between "gave up in futility" and "found what I was looking for."

What a spectacular failure search is today.

> wouldn't call 9/11 "limited"

Relative to what's going on in Ukraine, it is. 9/11 was a massive terrorist attack. Next to the scale of state-on-state warfare (a category it does not belong in), it was a rounding error.

Agree that de-carbonising our economy will remove our need to support these regimes.
"America's internet"

The first two words of the headline are wrong. Applications are not the Internet. This must be some kind of record for HN headlines.
Which we know, but apparently Putin doesn't. I think in one of his writings or a public speaking engagement he said "They're (Ukrainians) Russian even if they don't know it".
Hard agree. I've never bothered to even read about PARA, Zettelkasten, Johnny Decimal, etc.. I just prefer to come-up with my own system
What you're describing is two desktops with a shared piece of hardware between them. If that works for you, great! However it does ignore my original point of "freedom from a fixed position", and why I made it in the first place. If you don't need to move around, then by all means use a Mac Mini. I personally find myself in a lot of places where there are no traditional workspaces, hence I use a laptop.
> foundations of US.

I'm not sure if you are meaning United States or emphasizing humanity, but in either direction: a private company's social media application gets to chose the content that goes on the platform. I'm all for free speech as intended by the constitution. I can say hateful things, and cannot be prosecuted by it. BUT I'm perfectly fine in a world where if I say something against a "Do no harm" policy of a website, I get kicked off that platform.
Why would they? You’re already leaving. What do they get from it? More worker hours doing a bunch of paperwork and risking a lawsuit? Not worth it
I'm not that familiar with axios but by the looks of things they are left-wing. Left of center for sure.

This is important context because it's wonderful to see their point of view for what is going down.

They are focusing on dailywire vs disney and other symptoms of the problem.

>Progressives are focused on making sure that the existing media and online platforms crack down on misinformation.

But who gets to define what is misinformation. Obviously progressives have taken this upon themselves to define.

>Conservatives increasingly feel disenfranchised by media from mainstream news outlets to social platforms and have begun to invest in alternatives.

because of... oh wait we just discussed it. Progressives have taken it upon themselves to define what is misinformation and are censoring conservatives. The conservatives then look at their criticisms fairly. Lab Leak was misinformation and censored. Oh wait that's pretty much fact now. Hunter Biden's laptop suddenly found to be legit? Nope, misinformation and needs to be censored.

And they are investing in alternatives? No no. that was years ago. There's now a dozen that are self-sufficient and better yet, growing to the size they are unstoppable.

The progressives who were pretty happy to censor legitimate stories are now pissed off they suddenly have no power anymore. They can't get on parler and censor their 'misinformation' stories.

>On the right, Donald Trump's new social network, which is struggling to launch

Shrug? It was years late. It's not even a big contender at all.

>Conservative billionaire Rebekah Mercer co-founded and funded conservative Twitter alternative Parler.

Yes but oh look again those progressives tried to cancel parler as well. Parler going offline for awhile kind of killed it.

>Media companies and online platforms in the past have thrived by serving as big an audience as possible without regard to political bent.

Who is creating this split? One side takes sole blame here.

>Zoom out: Since the aftermath of the January 6th Capitol riot when most internet companies de-platformed former President Donald Trump, conservatives have been aggressively building out alternative communications infrastructure, including their own cloud storage and cryptocurrency companies.

You're starting to see the picture. You dont even see 1/4 of the picture year but you're starting to see it.

>The bottom line: As this trend continues, companies that have long positioned themselves as apolitical will face overwhelming pressure to choose sides.

This doesn't make sense. You can be on twitter and parler at the same time. You dont have to pick sides. Companies that are apolitical can continue to do so.

In fact, what's more important is to see why they even say this. It's the same reason this article doesn't even name the actual replacements. They want to say Trump's new network is floundering. Attack, attack, attack.

The 'progressives' built their platforms on the backs of everyone and then ejected the right. Then are now angry that the conservatives didn't just roll over and die? What did you think would happen?
I did that for convenience (though now I removed it), but the work profile seemed to be well compartmentalized from the personal part, and there was a strong emphasis on this fact before the installation process. If they were to wipe it, only the work profile would be affected. I fortunately never had to try it...
I have to admit I'm puzzled at the contradiction that you think you have.

As I see it the value proposition for cloud native is: (1) scalable, (2) simple to implement. You get those two at the cost of something which is often less efficient and more expensive to run than something you run yourself.

From the viewpoint of an MVP the point of cloud native is that you are leaning on the cloud provider to do what otherwise would be a big hassle.

That said if you are using a conventional architecture you can usually run it on a VM in the cloud.

Gearboxes. Windmills of the same design will turn at the same rate in lockstep with each other. A gearbox converts that rate into what is necessary for the generator. The generator turns in sync with the grid.
So you think we should be able to label a group of people and restrict their rights? You don't see how this could be a problem?

I doubt you're going to win your argument using RT as an example. We're one whoopsie away from war. That's very different than regular censorship.
I’ve been a prime customer ever since Prime became a thing in Germany, so I can’t talk about that. Search I already agreed (though it’s not intolerably bad, it’s barely worse than google), but the rest I have no issues with, I can see who sells what and I don’t even know where to find storefronts, all my buying is done by searching for the products or finding deeplinks.

Static types are documentative, and language servers often also show you things like JSDoc alongside the type signature. Nix has neither of these, hence I have to check the source code or run a build and see what happens.

I really like Nix but in this particular way it feels like taking a big step backwards from the other languages I frequently use, particularly for a language in which you'll necessarily be constantly interacting with bespoke interfaces.
> Sending in-product feedback certainly could work

If it could work, we would have seen that happening. We have not, so we must assume it can't. Thus, asking to "send feedback in-product" is just a way to waste everyone's time. You avoid the negative stigma that is associated with knowing a problem exists and ignoring it, without having to undertake any concrete action. Corporate spin at it's finest.
"Good" is context dependent, so any credible backing generation system would have to be aware of context - ideally while playing with others. Which is a whole other level of difficulty compared to pumping out canned MIDI files.

In any case, studio session musicians have a very different set of skills to pop headliners. Arrangers have different skills to composers. Producers have some of all of the above, but are there to bridge the differing creative pulls of the artist and the record company and manage the project. Label executives and A&R set goals and make high level editorial choices.

When the public hears a finished track, it will have been worked on by tens or sometimes hundreds of people. Some of them - image and marketing consultants, PR people, social media managers - have no musical input of any kind, but still shape the subjective experience of the product.

As you say, all of the above are paid because they bring a personality and a unique creative flavour to a project. For a culturally significant and/or successful project, each flavour has to be distinctive but also has to blend successfully.

Music is always a composite product. Headline talent only gets you so far. The rest comes from creative tensions between individuals with different goals working in different domains.

For most styles - including classical - the public wants a narrative/image/hook fantasy that locates the product in a credible cultural space.

Generative music has almost none of this. Even if you create a perfectly polished pop single it will be culturally two dimensional because all of the surrounding context is missing. It will be flavourless - not just musically (most likely) but also culturally.

In fact there are spaces where this either doesn't matter much or (rarely) doesn't matter at all. But they're small, specialised, and not particularly interesting to work in.

Influential, interesting, highly paid projects demand strong and identifiable personal flavours. And they're far harder to synthesise than musically credible tracks/pieces.

Totally seconding the 80/20 rule here. It's probably less frustrating and faster for everyone if you can work on compartmentalizing failures that do slip through or only happen for those two customers with very special data sets that you most probably wouldn't catch in testing either because your test suite won't execise the full 10TB data set anyway (assuming here because we don't know your product)
That's an interesting perspective. When it comes to medicine, I usually have no idea whether there might be a "simple fix" for some problem. If I ask my doctor about something small, I expect he would just say "yeah, you're getting old" and then bill me $300. So I don't bother. Maybe end users think similarly.
I think that if your views include "we should kill people because of their race", your views should be banned off every platform, yes. Trying to imply that that's the same as racism is a false equivalence.
Well, not everyone has to be a physicist. It's part of a well-rounded education to learn some basics, of course, to understand the scientific method, and the conservation laws. Some will go farther than that if they're going into STEM, or into physics itself.

Outside of that it's a matter of curiosity and public outreach from physicists... and I guess a small number of cranks.
Last time, wasn't there someone here saying it was easy to do and they could do it in a weekend, and then actually delivered? Can't find it, but perhaps someone here remember more about it?
> There was a time when most papers in Norway were party papers. And it was totally fine!

And that's exactly how most newspapers started in the US too.

Then they realized that advertising only to their side left out half of the potential readership and therefore lowered the advertising rates they could charge.

Now that we have (re-)targeting advertising platforms based not only on the topic of this specific page but informed by the last 2000 sites and pages you visited and products you viewed, the advertising rates are better and targeting a niche becomes a viable option.. but even then, that's only if the financial aspects are the motivators. Sometimes it's a moral cause, not a financial.
Sure, and then deal with leaky abstractions and fighting the engine wherever its abstractions don't give you what you want.

> adding a level editor, asset loading, character animations, scalable UI, collision detection, networking, state management, serialization,gamepad support, multiplatform support, store/platform integrations

None of these are nearly as hard as cult-of-always-use-an-engine makes them out to be. And there's value in having complete control over your product and understanding how every part of it works. You don't have to wait for Unity to support a new platform, or fix a bug that's blocking you, or implement a feature you want, you just do that yourself.

I'm not saying it's the wrong choice to use a bespoke engine, indeed many games that are made with bespoke engines would not have been made otherwise and I'm grateful that such things exist and enable those games to be made, I'm just saying it's not necessarily a bad idea to make your own engine. Hell, Jonathan Blow is a successful game developer who made his own engines for Braid and The Witness, and now he's gone as far as making his own language and compiler to make games with going forward because he feels C++'s eccentricities get in the way too much.
Interesting, but it would be much more efficient using something like QAM, because with binary tones most of the bandwidth is wasted.

It's not as if this hasn't happened before. The 'EuroDollar' came about after the invasion of Hungary in 1956. Russia has just invented the 'RuskiEuro', which is how the Bank of Russia will hold Euros for the duration - probably in settlement accounts at the National Clearing Centre in Moscow.
