Maybe there’s a two dimensional chart here, but my best managers have been leaders, in which case they became mentors, or they’ve been service oriented, in which case I and my peers were up-managing them. The ones who are trying to herd cats come off as shrill, and nobody respects them. Fears them maybe, but no respect.

Problem is that if you’re up-managing your boss, they aren’t up-managing their boss. I’m sure there’s a Law in there somewhere. The leader types tend to know what’s what and shield the team from bullshit so they can get busy making the boss look competent in every other area. You can talk your way out of a lot of stuff when people are happy with the rest of your results. Delay tactics if nothing else. Sorry we can’t work on bullshit #372 right now because we’re busy being awesome on feature #784. Come back in a month or two (then cross your fingers to see if they still remember or are focused on bullshit #381).
You just described a business model for startups. And likely this startup!

Any decentralized network will create abundance, but also all the problems of abundance - identity, filtering, search, stability, etc. Some trusted gateways or intermediaries are then created to solve those problems. And then we're in a race to get a monopoly, one that well-capitalized startups can win.

A "browser" is a play to control or at least have influence over all of these experiences, just like IE was for Microsoft or Chrome is for Google.

The same old lie over and over again. Rent control is limiting the profit you can make with renting out. It doesn't stop profit in the first place.

I don’t know. I’m not very smart.
Another direction here is reactive notebooks where when you change one field in the notebook all of the dependent fields are automatically updated. Pluto.jl for example [1]. It has the feeling of a cross between a Jupyter notebook and a spreadsheet without looking like a spreadsheet.

That's the same thing as 5% yield right? (Just that that's the way around I usually hear it, might be a regional thing.)

That sounds like perhaps the high end of normal range, but not extraordinary?
I think there is scope to replace Excel, but it’s hard. You’re seeing a gradual spread of “data science” tools in finance, as the more technical analysts start to use Python over Excel. But as you say, the management layer still uses Excel to poke and prod a model.

I think that there will be a generational shift here - you are not going to train an SVP to use Python, but the next generation of SVPs might have more exposure and be willing to use Numpy in a Jupyter notebook.

And in the other direction - there is definitely scope to come up with an “Excel isomorphic” Python framework for data science. It’s fairly easy to generate an Excel sheet from Python computations, but maintaining bi-directionality is Hard, and would require restrictions on the Excel side. I think with the right UI, you could do this though.
That seems to be the same kind of confusion I ran into the last time I tried to do async in Zig. I also had trouble figuring out who was responsible for keeping track of async frames.

The details are not fresh, but it went something like: if a function called an async function like so `the_frame = async foo();`, you couldn't really reliably `resume the_frame;` unless you were responsible for all suspend points hit inside `foo`. If `foo` tried to call some other function `bar` you had no idea had a suspend point, you couldn't resume the frame anymore since you'd need to resume the inner frame instead.

So, yeah, they were colorless as in you could call any function you wanted and they don't advertise suspend points or async usage, but they are actually colorful inside and calling the wrong color breaks things.

It makes me mourn for Gopher.
I have two:

The first runs on my RPi on my living room, it is more about me and my portfolio.

The second one is a blog, currently runs on GCP, but I'll put it on my RPi briefly.

I tried to make the minimalistic without losing style. So they look like a terminal and a very old computer respectively.
I'm not sure that I would've watched this as a video. Being tangentially involved -- having to actively scroll -- seems to make it more engaging. And I wouldn't have been so impressed by the website from a technical perspective.
Regular money and computers can be tool for many, including bad actors too.

Just because it's an open platform that makes speculative assets emerge doesn't mean the underlying technology and philosophy has great potential. I'm pretty much sure that the killer app of crypto is not here yet, and when it is here, it will change many views.
> Tenured professors ... what do they worry about?

Class assignments and number of classes taught per semester, teaching times and locations, class sizes, advising assignments, committee assignments, TA allocations, grader allocations, internal grants, withholding or revoking consulting permission, withholding internal department funding, lack of promotion (there is still a ladder after tenure), and most of all reputation, which in academia has higher currency than currency.

Tenured professors still have a job to do and they still have a boss (lots of bosses, as I said), and if they don't do their job they can still get fired (I've seen it happen), or their lives can be made miserable.

If there's an issue of academic dishonesty then there there are processes at journals, conferences, and funding agencies to address concerns. I've also witnessed these processes work as intended.
I think you're getting too caught in the specifics. There are "modern" kitchens in residential spaces across the world, and even if the details in them may vary a bit by culture and geography, they all look very different from the painting in the article.

Yes, we do live in the present, but there's no inevitability about the present. The fact that during the 20th century we invented a set of new materials and machining techniques does not mean that we have to be using them today - that's a choice we make based on a variety of different factors.

If you look at any magazine/book on contemporary kitchen remodels, you will find some that are closer to the painting than the photograph (and many more that are closer to the photograph). The idea that the aesthetics embodied by the painting are inherently non-modern is, I think, a mistake.
What was the point of changing the Taskbar drastically in the first place? It's not something in Windows 10 I'd have identified as must fix unlike the mess that is search, control panel/settings etc. It got a whole bunch of regressions like the inability to move the Taskbar, grouping apps, having a clock on a another monitor (recently fixed), worse file operation indicators, etc. I just have no idea why they did it. It didn't actually IMPROVE anything it just looks slightly different. MS did a whole bunch of work to piss off people for as far as I can tell no noticeable gain.

I felt the same way until I tried weightlifting/strengh training.

Running, biking, swimming just left me exhausted and I hated every minute of doing it.

Strength training makes me tired and sore and while it's not great fun to do, it is something I have been able to stick with for a couple of years.

Some people love being physically active, I have never been that type of person. I will never "love" working out. But despite that, I have found some exercise that I am able to do habitually. Keep trying.
RSS feed support gone for good?
I'm so sad to see this feature go - I used it every day, and bought most of my eBay items via it.

If anyone feels the same, I encourage you to leave a comment on the ebay forum post.

In all the talk about RSS being dead/back on HN, it's the loss of features like this that matter to me.

For those that don't know, this feature was on life support for years. you had to learn to add the parameter "_rss=1" to make a feed. and then they'd break periodically. But even given all that it was great: you could make a feed from any search.

This will effectively remove all my "browsing" in eBay, I'll only go there when I want to find a lower price on a specific thing to buy.

P.S.
a comment this reddit thread seems to confirm that this was a deliberate retirement.

What would happen to people's salaries in this case. Right now i'd bet most employment contracts for salary states 40 hours a week as a work week.

Would everyone take a 20% pay cut? Would people try to keep the same pay for fewer hours.
YUP! And too often a company claiming to have something better than Excel isn't a direct equivalent. It's a way to market their whizzbang solution.

Domo was claiming it could get companies off of spreadsheets. But it turns out that they're an enterprise level reporting system that's a minimum of $30,000. That's not a viable option for a 5-person non-profit, but they'll get swept up in the conversation only to find out later that no, Domo and Excel are not equivalents.

Increasingly, American political parties are most interested in seizing and wielding power, and I feel like most citizens are occupied with surrendering and assigning that power to their preferred political party. How in the world did we get here? Is there any way we can turn back?

Most of the discussion here is about whether mandating business practice would be a good or a bad business move, but hardly anyone is questioning whether this is a good or legitimate role for those in government to decree and mandate. More and more, I see governments mandating changes that already appear to be underway, but in a way that accrues the praise and rewards to themselves. Most Americans seem to be complicit in this transformation, continually voting greater and greater control and authority away from the people and toward government powers.

Because a law called "Mietpreisbremse" makes it entirely unattractive to rent out. That's a strict regulation on how much rent you are allowed to take. And that's just the direct financial aspect. Once a tenant lives in your place, it's really hard to get rid of them. Even if they act like total scumbags, trash the place, disturb the neighbors, pay their rent late.

No reasonable investor finds it attractive to build new rentals in German cities. Result is a shortage. And because of the shortage, rents skyrocket. And because of that, you have "Mietpreisbremse". And because of that, there is even less rentals and even more shortage.

If only anybody would understand that you can't fight the market like that.

Downtowns are always kind of dull and empty outside of work hours. They exist to house a temporary population of millions for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week; after those 8 hours, they are totally abandoned ghost towns because it's not like you can use office buildings for some other purpose at night.

Some cities are better at mixing commercial and residential real estate so you feel this effect less. Downtown Chicago always felt eerie to me on nights and weekends. Everything is just closed and there are very few people around. Manhattan is less like this. (There was a time when I would leave work between 11pm and 2am. The bike ride down 2nd Ave was always chaos. The city never sleeps.) I haven't spent a ton of time in San Francisco, but it strikes be as being closer to Chicago than Manhattan. After work, everyone is out in the neighborhoods.

In my non-expert opinion, people in California go to bed earlier than in New York. I feel like everyone thinks they need to be up for work at 5am to "beat the traffic" and be in the office for calls at 9am New York time. This means they are in bed 9pm. Meanwhile, you can stay out until midnight in New York and be sentient again for the same 9am call.

Yes, I mean we should also have a 32 hour work week but the laws surrounding it need teeth for sure. We should hold executives/managers criminally liable with the potential for jail time for repeat offenses. It's absolutely fucking absurd that shoplifting, especially when performed by disadvantaged folks carries harsher penalties than systematic wage theft. It's upside down clown world out there, abusing your position of power is FAR worse than stealing to eat or even fund a drug habit.

When a middle manager is removed, all the communication goes to the most senior member of the team instead keeping that person from being able to actually get things done.

That statement is just blatantly illogical. It's like saying, "if you cook using heat, you can expect to burn yourself sometimes."

If you make a living under a strong copyright system, you should expect to be perfectly fine as long as you don't copy someone.

Sure, there can be weird exceptions, and as in any complex system, we should adjust the system over time to account for them, rather than immediately throwing out the whole system. For example, when a plane crashes, we don't rush to abolish the FAA, or to ban aviation.

Berlin politics also seriously discuss seizing landlords' properties [1]. It's stupid. It's illegal. But it makes the potential downside of renting out a home the value of the property. (Or the cost of defending against an illegal law.)

If the browser has actual native support for interacting with EVM chains and IPFS, supporting user-friendly features like ENS or UD domains, allowing anyone to publish a page or an app in a decentralized manner, it certainly has value especially with the current centralization (e.g. FB/Twitter/Google: censorship, banks: control over money etc).

I have been in both types of homes and vastly prefer the modern open kitchen.

What isn’t mentioned is that the kitchen in the old times was small and isolated from the living and dining rooms where the guests were entertained.

The kitchen was the domain of servants and women, who mere meant to provide the food but not the conversation.

In modern times we have come away from that and our design reflects that. We are much more egalitarian. Kitchens are now incorporated into our entertainment of guests. That large island is now likely to be where food is served buffer style. There is lots of place so that guests and come in and conversation with whomever is cooking the food.

More than anything, the more “modern” style reflects the kitchen becoming a public space whereas before it was a private space.

I prefer the modern public space kitchen.
Thats fine, but it is the central part of the quote

This is true if you are talking about military occupation. obviously not true for a coup, assassination, or quick regime change.

You shouldn’t necessarily want it built into the browser but you might want it built into the internet so that you can avoid the layers of fees, commissions and surveillance capitalism.

For all that time, people had to walk to wherever they needed to get to, so yes, they had to pick places where what they needed was close by.
These 1:1200 are exceptional anecdotes that happen if you have some idealistic landlord that doesn't max out the allowed rent but rents it out at some price point that they consider reasonable, which is perhaps the rent from 20 years ago. Of course they get flooded with applications.

If they'd max out, they'd still get multiple applications, but maybe 10-30 of those, half of them from people with bad credit rating.

Still bad, but not as extreme as it sounds like.
Not really the entire hierarchical structures of corporations is actually highly inefficient it's something a lot of universities have been talking about for a while now. Which is ironic when you realize most universities are designed similar to churches with indentured servitude.
I have a colleague who is a PhD in Applied Math. Pretty bright guy, huge Python/Jupyter lover with many years of experience. Loves to use git, loves to write dozens of unit tests. A true Man of the Future, according to Excel haters.

He wrote some Python to solve some mildly complex business problem. I told him to translate it into Excel for stakeholders. He did, and the answer came out completely different.

It turned out he had made multiple catastrophic errors in the Python. This is not the first, second, or third time this has happened.

Python, and tech-beyond-Excel in general, just isn't the silver bullet software types often seem to think it is. Even experts sometimes seem to do a worse job in it than in Excel.

It was a direct answer to that question, and IMO a good one. Some in this thread appear to feel that we inexorably move towards a disposable culture, and this is a clear counterexample.

I agree with most of the suggestions. Apart from doing something physical after work (even the commute), I try to leave a gap of 2-3 hours relaxing,before I pick up mental activities again. I.e. the interval between 16 and 19 I use to unwind, before engaging with something taxing again. Ive been mentally alert from 8 to 16, so my mind does not like if I continue straight into an engaging hobby after work. When I was younger, 20 years ago, I could get away with it, but now at 50, i feel the punishment rather quickly when i violate it.
Another factor I struggle with but recognise, is not to engage too much after 2030 or so. I sometimes do so, but I invariably feel like I have been working overtime,by the next morning (which is what it is, in effect).
Basically, its about learning to recognise and be aware of your energy budget - before 30, it doesnt exist, but gradually it becomes a very visible thing, when you fail to manage it.
Your alcohol consumption, your late night tv or gaming, your lack of exercise, they all demand payment from you, whether you are aware of them or not :-/
