It almost has to, at least politically.

There's a whole lot of American households whose sole investment is their house. If their house value goes down, there goes kid's college, vacations, easier retirements. Any President is going to keep this from happening at almost any cost. The political party that lets the majority of Americans' mortgage go underwater will be punished for a decade.

The solution here is 70s/early 80s style stagflation - prices go up, but mortgage interest does too, as does price-of-living, until the inflated real estate prices actually match some lesser value.
> An example of this transactional behavior is calling out Saudi Arabia for lack of free speech while owning twitter which is interesting because he didn't have much problem with SA when they held 4.x percent of Tesla a few years back.

what are you even expecting here? he should've called them out for lack of free speech when they owned tesla? was there some instigating event during that time period which he ignored more than every other public figure? (i don't think we expect all public figures to make annual condemnations of every nation that does anything we consider appropriate. do we?)

as far as i know, he was snarking at saudia arabia's involvement in twitter because they commented negatively on his buyout proposal.
No there are plenty of much more conservative leaders I don’t even think about because they aren’t 50 year old men trying to shitpost like teenagers on the internet.
only a tiny, tiny percent of users achieve "minor social media stardom". solving their problems actually doesn't strictly relate to the experience of the vast majority of users.
It used to, but I don't think it does anymore.
Intel just needs to not be using their podunk 10nm lithography they've been touting for the past 5 years or so. They plan to beat Apple's density by 2024, which will raise some interesting questions about how much efficiency they can recoup at this point. I don't think it's fair to claim anyone as the victor yet, we'll simply have to wait and see if the reports of x86's death were grossly overstated or not.
> I think there is a clear distinction between trying something new that no one has done before and trying something that many other people have attempted before and failed.

Like electric cars and low cost access to space? Both of those fields are littered with the dead husks of failed attempts from prior decades.
Lot of misconceptions here that cause teams to underperform.

1. Managing comes first. (Nope, as a manager your are primarily responsible for ensuring a good outcome. As your title goes from manager, senior, higher to VP etc this becomes more important. Lower job titles you get paid to "do the work", higher titles are about "achieve outcome".) In the current market you'll often run into team members that don't perform. I see this so often where leads think that they have to "manage" and not do the work and the result is them and their team failing
2. Facilitate wellbeing. That's nice. But your primary responsibility is to A. Achieve the goal. B. hold people accountable to an acceptable level of performance

Give credit, take blame: That's a good one.

This post is just full of vague language that doesn't hold anyone accountable. Sucks to be an IC on that team, thinking everything is going well and eventually end up having whole teams being fired since your manager didn't set the right pace.
From what I’ve heard from people who use Twitter far more than me: the only way to avoid them is to use a 3rd party client for Twitter.

What happens in busy places when tens or hundreds of vehicles or robots illuminate the environment? How do several independent time-of-flight camera systems coexist? Are there existing solutions from other areas that are already using time-of-flight camera systems?
Mostly, resumes I see are just... lifeless.

A list of places you have worked, with dates, and names of systems or applications that will mean nothing to me, and the technologies upon which they were built.

A resume like that tells me nothing more or less than that you have remained employed as a programmer for X years.

I am usually sifting through multiple such resumes, all of which tell me that these candidates are... yup, definitely programmers. They have programmed stuff.

Please, when writing your resume, try to add one thing to each of the date-range jobs that you list:

Tell me how you grew and developed in that time.

Just a couple of sentences highlighting the main things you learned as part of that role. Why do you consider yourself a better, more hireable person now, than you were before you did that job?

That is worth so much more to me than exactly which version of .net that particular SaaS billing platform was built in.
I think it's helpful to consider these points, and try not to be put off by the bitter tone.

As an employee you have to consider the workplace culture, and your manager's attitude towards his/her "resources" (employees). This is a list of danger signs. You want to be watch for dysfunctional behaviors like this creeping into your work environment, and either combat them if you can, or find a new position. Or, you can accommodate/enable and try to insulate yourself, which is OK in the short-term, as you work towards a longer-term solution.

The culture of the organization and the management chain above you greatly affects your satisfaction and mental well-being. I assure you that, although no workplace is perfect, a few are pretty darn good. And sometimes it's possible to exert influence. Try not to sink too far into cynicism because there is a lot of incompetence and selfish self-interest out there. Use your skills of observation and writing to make things better, or find a place where that's possible.

Sorry if this is preachy.
> No other major car-maker has been able to come close to Tesla when it comes to the sleekness of their software and (especially that) when it comes to the cars' autonomy

Nobody cares about the software besides HN type people and the average user puts something like 40 miles per day on their car.

A far cry from "strategic asset" for the west, but you sure can program the car to make fart noises when you honk...

Can’t speak for OP, but for certain low-latency applications like trading, one wants to isolate a core, pin a thread to it, and have that thread spinning hot on some condition (maybe network card, maybe IPC), for optimal latency in responding to a particular event.

In that scenario, you wouldn’t want the GC to run on that core, for sure.

More power to you, man. I find 0..1 of these startups provides enough daily aggravation. (Though that could argue for throwing a pile together and ending it quickly.)
At least at my current job at a "boring" Fortune 500, we don't work that way at all. I'm sure there are plenty that do though. I guess if you are getting enough hires using your current system, there is certainly no reason to change it.

I suppose I should consider a way to indicate the I read Hacker News on my resume :) Thanks for responding, I may be able to improve my resume some by considering how to show more of those things. Right now, I focus a lot on Python in my resume, because that is my primary language of expertise and what I use every day. But I am very interested in Rust and various functional languages in general too.

Most gaming trends don't last very long, especially now that every game company is trying to get into that space.

If you're a top player at one game but then that game stops doing tournaments, it is probably a hard decision whether to walk away or learn a new game.

Yes, a lot of motor skills might transfer over but a lot of knowledge is lost.

EG: League of Legends and DOTA 2 are similar games but different metas, different characters, some different mechanics entirely. It's enough of a gulf that you have to put in a lot of effort to cross over, especially at the high end.
Most importantly, StackOverflow has a goal -- they are creating a collaborative QA collection. The focus is on the content, not on user interaction. I'm afraid that what works on SO may not work at all on Twitter.
Sure, but that relies on someone’s ability to secure the court order. That takes days at minimum, possibly much longer. It costs money, possibly thousands of dollars or more. And what about cases that cross borders? Is someone from from South Africa supposed to seek injunctive relief from a U.S. court? Maybe this is better than the status quo ante, but it’s not obvious to me that that’s the case and it doesn’t seem like anyone is asking the hard questions.
Humor isn’t universal.

There are no government subsidies to mine for Twitter.
The same can be said of Reddit or any other generally popular social media site.
I moonlighted for a while, and I checked my primary job's employment agreement first. All it said is that I can't be simultaneously engaged by competitors. No requirement to inform my manager or the company. Lots of people in my company have side businesses (some rebuild and sell laboratory instrumentation, others contract, etc).

I was surprised when I discovered the permissive nature of my company, but I've never seen it be a problem for anybody.
The Usenet experience says that people just melt away if too much ads/spam/pr0n show up. Of course, Usenet had a larger amount of externalization than Twitter does: Twitter runs its own infrastructure, while Usenet was almost entirely on participating sites' infrastructure. The situation is a little different. Even so, I expect that we'll find out what the Twitter ad/spam/grift tipping point is.
No house in Manhattan on a cashier’s salary has always been the case, that is not something that has regressed. You should check what areas people complain about being unaffordable before dismissing it as “of course NYC and California are expensive”.
> If elon removes bots

Why would he remove bots? Isn’t having bots post on my behalf covered under my free speech?
I recently watched Last Resort (streaming on Plex), which gives an entertaining account of life on a nuclear submarine. I recommend it.

It also scratches my itch for tv shows and movies where nukes are actually fired/detonated. If there is a comprehensive list somewhere, I’d love to see it.
The first thing he did after landing was head to the crash site. Not saying he could have actually stopped a forest blaze with fire extinguishers (it's not like wildland firefighters use them) but that might have been what he had planned.
I have actually refused to do a colonoscopy with a doctor who insisted on general and went to a different doctor who agreed to it. It's definitely a wasteful use of general anaesthesia.
The public / private angle is a good point! Though I am a little skeptical about magnitude.

> the bot problem contributes to MAU's, which impact Twitter's quarterly earnings.

For instance - I don't think MAUs "impact" Twitter's quarterly earnings - it is a stat that contextualizes their quarterly earnings for the market. So they have an incentive to not solve the bot problem if not solving it makes the site seem more popular - but that is very different from "being able to solve it."

Like, I just think that problems at scale are hard. There are bots that seem, to me, to be hurting Twitter's apparent position as a public company and it seems like, if they could fix those bots, they would.
dad joke time.
I really wish. But it is the standard. 90% of jobs I see involve building some online service. On call is as part of the job as writing code is.

Hum... MySQL is one of those labor-generating technologies that a Luddite would fall in love for. Those are best avoided. But for Postgres...

- You make sure the production version is larger or equal than the development, or you make sure to not use new features before they reach production, what is quite easy. There is no problem with different OSes (except for Windows itself not being very reliable, but I imagine you are not using Windows on production, as it's another one of those labor-generating techs).

- Trusting a local user is the same level of security you get with SQLite, no credentials required.

- And setting a backup script... Wait, you don't do that for SQLite? There's something missing here.

Yes, there are a lot of small tasks that add up when setting some new software. It's a pain. But it's a pain you suffer once, and it's over. It's worth optimizing, but not at any ongoing cost.
Musk's "army of shills" are at least real people who believe in his companies. I think the parent was commenting about account farms that tweet the same thing over and over on thousands of accounts. That is a big problem on Twitter, and it lets people manufacture consensus artificially (which is then picked up by journos).
> just rage bait again.

But he IS rage bait. He taunts, mocks, and slimes social media constantly. How could his leadership look any better if he treats it like shit personally?
> I do not want a future employer judging me on the basis of the half-finished amateurish experiments I knock off on my free time as I'm learning a new language or messing around with a new framework or just screwing around in general because I'm bored.

In this case there's no need to publish this type of code; Github offers private repositories for free. If one is convinced that there is value for other people from half-baked experiments, it's definitely worth publishing them in the open (it's possible that they're valuable), but if there isn't, why doing it?

I also notice that many people display private commits in their profile stats; this way, one can signal the amount of activity, if they want (within the limits of what's possible, as certainly commits don't necessarily correlate with intense activity).
Why do I keep getting this distinct impression that people use containers to keep reinventing OS processes, but "in the cloud!"?

Next thing, you'll see announced a platform for reusable container services that can be dynamically linked from other containers - to avoid including them multiple times in your application containers that share the same version, and we'll have come full circle.

Is there a subtle detail about packaging software for distribution as isolated executables that I'm missing?

Would be 90x more interesting & useful if it had a well specified open protocol one could script or automate.

I'd love to use tbis as my "mic or webcam live" indicator. I could script this up with like three lines in bash in a heartbeat, if the thing could export what it really is/does.

But no. Like most products it rejects letting 'the street find it's own use for things,' it is an end-to-end solution, limited.
> If you see toxic Tweets, that's because you follow people who post toxic Tweets or engage with toxic Tweets.

False; Twitter’s algorithm pushes lots of stuff you don't directly follow and is very clearly heavily driven by subject categorization (which is often also hilariously bad), as well as stylistic categorization (or maybe instead of it, as I see very little indication that the latter plays a role.) So, if you see toxic posts, it probably means you engage with tweets ON SUBJECTS on which some people post toxic takes, or follow people who post tweets on such topics.

It doesn't require any direct interaction with toxic tweets or individuals.
I guess she's hit a new low.

Why would someone so successful with productive work take on something so unproductive?

This looks like classic overstep.

If only there was a rational segment of investors ready to make a counterpoint here about anyone saying they are going to fix Twitter ... LOL ...

This is the universe balancing itself. Elon will have to mess up Elon, and my bet (or wishful thinking) is this inflection point right here. He'll be going to Mars to forget this mess.

Popcorn, please!
Except for the standard 'being in the military' aspect of it, modern submarines seem very comfy to me. I hear they're climate controlled these days, and have pretty good food.
This depends on how many options you have. If you have many options it can be a good thing to filter out companies that would not be a good match for you.
For me positive reactions are way more prominent then negative ones—at least for me. Negative reactions are often hidden under a “Show more replies” button, or relegated quite far down the scroll. And then there is always the block feature, which can do wonders in cleaning up your feed.
The Internet has always been a terrible place to discuss politics and Twitter is even worse because of the short format.
...and pretty gross.
Definitely use case specific, as it wouldn't work generally, especially for domain driven data models. The schema I'm thinking of specifically represents a data model that is flexible enough where migrations are extremely rare[1].

Even if there are migrations, it's treated similar to a file conversion (like upgrading an older excel file format to a new format on demand when the file is accessed).

[1] Maybe something similar to https://www.notion.so/blog/data-model-behind-notion or an EAV model imbedded in a JSON1 column.
> Low 7 figures compensation (staff level)

Odd choice of level, since the author worked at one of these companies and was not at that level, certainly did not make 7 figures.
One of the nice things about open source, and modern development tools, is the ability to easily go beyond the documentation to explore the library code itself. While I wouldn't consider that as a substitute for implementing your own, it is another means of figuring out how a library works and can be seen as more results oriented. Yet it is nowhere near as interesting, in my opinion.
I am using it in production but my product has (almost) no users. Hopefully it will grow. I plan to replace it with Postgres as needed, but it offers some interesting new ways to approach certain problems, and creates interesting new problems like how to scale across multiple app servers? It's so far just a file. I'm sure there is some networking solution. Developing locally is interesting since I can just copy the production database file right to my machine.
Why should a politician get special privileges?
Hmm... Ultimately, people will be people. I don't see why we'd stop killing each other only because we moved to space.

Spack for Local Development
I'm curious which community you are talking about, although I understand that you had reasons for avoiding naming it.
I've used in "production" and as the "primary datastore", but not in the ways those terms are normally used.

1. PHP web development for the client of a client. They needed persistent data and MySQL was not available. Moving to a different webhost was straight up rejected. Used sqlite with Idiorm and it worked just fine.

2. As the local datastore for a cross platform mobile application. The sqlite DB was unique on each device. Libraries were available and worked well.

3. This is a large one. Several 10's of thousands of installs that query the filesystem, but filesystem access is throttled by the vendor. We're using sqlite to store the state of the filesystem as it doesn't really change that much. If the db is damaged or whatever, it can be wiped as it isn't the final source of truth.
Only if you ignore the repeated documented issues with how he runs his companies and the numerous flaws with their products...

I'm not certain Elon even has a declared political affiliation.

What I find absolutely true, is there are a growing number of people seeking to excuse his faults, without evidence I might add, as some kind of political motivated 'religious belief'.

It is much easier to ignore criticisms when you turn off your brain and follow some cultish belief, and 'evil liberals jumping out of trees' is quite a popular cult at the moment. Then you can ignore whatever someone says, about anything, in whatever twisted way you can think of to turn it, 'political', or into a 'them versus us' moral goodguys vs badguys argument.
Since it's included with "gossip" I assume it's to avoid insulting people (intentionally or accidentally), but suggesting that humor is off limits entirely is an outrageous over-correction.

Ironically I think the author has included an incredibly divisive opinion in a post about being less divisive, and has therefore dissolved any authority on the matter.
> How can you be “libertarian” - ie keep government out of people’s lives and a modern day “conservative” that is all about pushing religious beliefs on people and supporting corrupt law enforcement?

I’ve had this idea that many people who talk about libertarianism, but particularly in the US those who vocalize their alignment with the Libertarian Party are just republicans who don’t want to admit it. The famous “libertarian” Thiel going mask off and then helping build the surveillance state and military industrial context convinced me.
This is great–hope it pans out and makes it to market quickly.
Is it not going to wear down the tracks at an accelerated rate though? (Which also implies delays for maintenance)
As soon as someone repeats the old canard about the cash from his dad's emerald mines, I know to disregard everything else that they have to say.

First of all there are a lot of questions about whether that story is true. And even if it was, it isn't material to Elon's success: https://savingjournalism.substack.com/p/i-talked-to-elon-mus...

Second, what makes Elon truly remarkable is what he accomplished AFTER he made < $200 million from selling PayPal. Most of which were impossible according to conventional wisdom in the industries that he accomplished them in. Anyone who fails to recognize that, has demonstrated a complete lack of comprehension.
No, he's been on the record admiring NASA and the FAA, even auto regulators, and has called for regulation of AI.
Fair enough! If you have a Mac, you can try the TextEdit tool (which also supports rich text), as an alternative to Google Docs.
The key job of a manager is to say no. It is not to optimize the work distribution but to control the scope of the work that is done. A critical distinction between manager and leader is the former has more focus managing shape of the playing field and the rules while the latter is more concerned about pushing towards results.

Last but not least management is about gaining, using and maintaining power. Without it saying no is not possible.
