Apache Cassandra is a database used by Facebook. It has converging databases. If you're used to normal SQL databases, it would be like a way of replicating information across lots of copies. Updates are done in really strange ways. Imagine a Facebook comment or status update. That gets a time associated with the data, and the database copies slowly converge to a common truth.

In general, IBM was just going in a different direction with Power than Apple needed them to be going in. IBM was and is focused on the highest end, high priced end of the server market.
The essence of these is how you set boundaries for yourself, while a) not threatening the percieved power of the person you are speaking to, and b) expressing needs in terms of appealing to some shared principle of professionalism.

The challenge with flat organizations is they reward bullying because they lack recourse to principle and positional authority. This communication style is necessary for navigating them, and it's how most educated people in orgs communicate these days, as they higher you go up the org chart, the higher the percentage of your time is spent essentially just navigating power.

While I see people reacting to the passive aggression in these phrases, that's literally how managers communicate. Bureaucracy is passive aggressive warfare and a power struggle where people try to subordinate and make others accountable to them.

Sometimes someone is only asking you for something because they want to set you up as a blocker for their project to both get more time and blame it on you, or you are being added to something because the person who failed at it needs to add stakeholders to diffuse accountability for the failure - bureaucracies are systems of alien incentives, and the people in them must often operate according to objectively insane rules. If you want to stop this stuff, learn to lead and make sure your org doesn't default to this, or start your own company, and make a place that doesn't run like this.

When I've seen leaders mystified at how their orgs got like this, it was because when they asked everyone to find ways to work together without the toxic culture, they didn't take ownership and set the example, and everyone just interpreted it as, "hide how you are doing this."

I doubt that this would pose an issue for most bits of desktop software UI. Most UI patents tend to be focused on specific parts of apps (e.g. the Instagram profile page layout), rather than on more broad UI features like toolbars. They also tend to be more focused on mobile UI, desktop UI hasn’t really moved much in the past 20 years aside from cosmetic tweaks.
According to their system yes. It’s a bad case of eventual consistency.

Hey Akash,

I like the idea of giving people some help expressing themselves at work. You might be interested to learn about the Power Distance Index, and the body of work on PDI and work culture.

You’ll see if you read the comments here that some people are like “the alternatives are bullshit corporate speak and infuriate me”, and some are like “yes, at last, a way to help people be more polite / better communicators”. There’s a smattering of “this is passive aggressive” thrown in.

One of the broad pitches PDI at work types make is that the lower the PDI, the more direct communications are preferred; the higher, the more ‘diplomatic’ the communications are preferred. My vibe on your list is that it’s just a tad more diplomatic than Silicon Valley wants to be, hence the slight negative ‘passive aggressive’ reactions.

Some of the lowest PDI countries in the world are Israel, and many Northern European countries, and it fits my experience that in those places additional respect is given for bluntness - as Jan Maas in Ted Lasso says “I’m not rude, I’m Dutch.” As a broad stereotype using the alternate wordings you give would be a sign you are not someone to be respected in that environment.

On the other hand, Saudi Arabia’s PDI is high, and I would bet that some of your alternate list there would still be much too rude; just a guess, I haven’t worked in Saudi.

Anyway, thanks again for this; if you stay interested, you might consider reworking this into different ‘cultural norms’ lists to help people acclimate / go both ways; at that point, I think it would be a very broadly useful resource.
Right, it's a hard problem to solve. A camera-based approach would be invasive, impractical, and really easily duped. But now we have bluetooth cubes.

Bluetooth cubes still have a ways to go before they're physically good enough and also affordable enough to replace regular cubes, but they will solve this issue. CubeDesk already supports a few types of BT cubes. When you use a BT cube on CubeDesk, you get a breakdown of every stage, turns per second, areas you paused, etc.

The unfortunate thing about BT cubes is that all the companies making them have their own proprietary software that they want their customers to use, so they encode the data coming from the cube to make it really hard for anyone to make sense of it. Some of us in the cubing dev world have reversed engineered these techniques, but it's just unfortunate how they try to keep it a secret.
Having been on the receiving end of "I'm not sure we really understand what is going on here" more than a few times, from specific people, I was able to decode this eventually. I'm still not sure how I feel about it, but it definitely was less jarring to hear those words instead of "you don't know what you are talking about."

And, if you're privileged-- society has given you the message you can do whatever you want-- that's OK.

If you're in a system with racism embedded into various parts-- one rationally wonders: is there no one like me up there because there's racism filtering it? Is someone at a music school, competition, or academy, somewhere along the way going to decide that I don't really look like someone who's a top-tier violinist and going to exclude me (based on this same logic, in part)? If so, it might be better to select myself out before dedicating a whole lot of resources.
I did like the move towards less ports, although it was inconvenient at times. I do wonder if Apple had incentivized the ecosystem to move more to USB-C if things could have gone better. If there were lots of monitors and TVs actually supporting USB-C/Thunderbolt it would be nice, it's a thinner nicer cable, also has more bandwidth.

My limited understanding is that can is the key word. There are apparently factors that can lead to the cell switching from OxFox to the primitive method of ATP generation which may actually be the original default state of operation for the cell prior to mitochondria being introduced. This may be an early state that existed prior to there being much O2 in the atmosphere when lifeforms were much more primitive. Again, this is not my area of expertise and I am not sure that scientists fully understand this yet either.
We've switched to _Static_assert() now we can assume all our compilers support it:

Great criteria to filter jobs over, but minimally useful for candidates when it only captures a couple dozen jobs from a handful of companies.

And the price for being able to post new listings seems high for it probably not having many candidates (on account of the few listings, and it being a narrow niche).

Good luck to whoever is trying to make this work, but this kind of thing is a notoriously hard business problem.
That's simply not true, its just not good enough - if you lost customer data as well people would be livid.
It’s just like those “desired” characteristics such as supple body parts, the thigh gap, the wide hips but not too wide, swinging subtly but not flailing etc.

Sounds not very politically correct? It’s just how it is and this is how most people see these things and desire. Yes, most. And it goes both ways.

So, it’s really ingenuous to label all those comments with that incel-something buzzword. Something of a “not all women” comment?

This is real. How it ought to be or not is an entirely different story.
I've had to separate a couple of people from the company. In both cases they very quickly found another job, and on following up with them they were much happier doing something that looks quite different from what they were trying to do before.

The world is big, and the chances that you happen to be in the optimal role at the optimal company are vanishingly small. In my book, a category of management failure is letting someone doggedly clutch on to something that's hard on both themselves and those around them.

I’ve not hit the point of being annoyed on any of my smaller side projects, but despite them being developer focused and relatively niche, they do bring in a bit of overhead from other developers sending PRs and issue reports.

That said, while I generally do not mind fielding PRs or even trying to resolve bugs, the actual worst thing for me is having to close a PR because I simply don’t want to merge it. I know it’s the right choice, but it’s not fun.

Yep, and some projects failed hard on that regard, because the JIT infrastructure still wasn't good enough.

I was part of one, whose goal was to replace a CORBA infrastructure based in HP-UX, with Websphere running on Solaris/Linux.
you're missing the point and taking "context switch" literally

with NIO you are still managing the stack, just yourself instead of letting the operating system do it for you

it is still a "context switch", just done in your code instead of the OS

and that's not free (and likely more expensive than saving and restoring a set of registers)
It's not even about "badly written". Sometimes it's just really hard to get a patch into the shape the maintainer wants (tests, architecture, general feel, how it slots into a longer term vision that may not be clearly defined, but the maintainer knows it when they see it) and takes a lot of back and forth. I don't begrudge that, after all, it's their project.

But it would be nice if there's a way to say "look, it is what it is, and while I'm willing to make an effort, I'm not living and breathing this codebase, and I'm not planning to become a major contributor going forward, much as I like the project. Playing 20 questions is exhausting on both ends and if you'd rather just take it and completely recast it how you want, I honestly don't mind and won't take offense" without sounding like "here's some random code, IDK if it works really, good luck, lol".

Money is fungible, but the individual supply curves of different things you buy with the money aren't flat.

> and is not cancelled after years of delays and cost overruns

This is a super-disingenuous argument, especially since I'm guessing you're part of a faction behind the scene inducing many of these delays, cancellations, and cost overruns through objection to nuclear's safety and utility.

> Since each dollar spent on renewables produces several times the watt-hours produced by a dollar's worth of the nuke, diverting that dollar to the nuke has brought climate catastrophe that much nearer.

Alternatively, every year assuming that renewables will eventually be able to provide enough industrial and base load through storage, if in error, commits us more and more to climate catastrophe. You handwave away objections. Storing enough is going to be really really hard and may not happen in time.

Our extant example of a very-low-carbon grid has a big mix of nuclear in it. We may not want to commit to building the exact same thing, but I don't think we should totally ignore the example that has produced this outcome.

The only thing missing are some atomic library calls.
Maybe, but I would be surprised if they did that. From a manufacturing point of view, having two different motor types is more expensive.

More importantly, the motor drive electronics would have to be designed specifically to support that. A motor's top speed is limited by the supply voltage because a spinning motor generates its own voltage called back-EMF. When back-EMF matches the supply voltage, the motor drive can't push any current through the motor because there's not enough of a voltage difference. When the motor spins even faster than that, its back-EMF exceeds the supply voltage. This does something funny to the motor drive. The voltage across the FETs in its H-Bridge circuit swaps polarity and the FETs become "reverse biased". A reverse biased FET acts like a diode, and allows current to flow through it. As a result, the motor generates a braking torque. The only way for a motor drive to avoid that would be to have an additional semiconductor in series with the H-Bridge circuit. That would make the drive more expensive, and lower efficiency. It could be done, but I doubt it.

It's also hard to optimize a motor to work well at low speeds, but then have it be efficient at high speeds, even if not using it. One of the ways motors lose efficiency are in what are called "eddy current losses". Just the fact that the motor is spinning means that metal is moving through alternating magnetic fields, and that induces eddy currents in the metal. Those Eddy currents generate a braking torque, and heat up the metal.

This all assumes the motors are permanent magnet brushless motors. I think that's a safe assumption since they are in-hub. There are other types of motors, such as induction, that work differently and don't have the same "speed limit" or Eddy current losses when freewheeling. Most electric vehicles use one or two induction motors. They aren't in-hub, though, because they don't scale down in size well.
I disagree - I think it’s possible to respond to each of these situations with a clear, kind, and direct response.

I think the underlying issue is more that, yes, if you’re already feeling like saying any of the original messages, communication and understanding is probably already damaged. Which makes it a higher degree of difficulty challenge to put things back on better footing.

Good communication definitely takes practice. Maintaining positive intent and respecting the other person’s humanity and feelings is vital.
I remember when my perfectly clear :) became one picture in yahoo messenger and another in AIM. You should have seen my face when the little <3 my boyfriend and I texted to each other became a gaudy, beating red heart right before my eyes. It's gotten easier to opt out of over the years, but there was a while there when none of the SMS apps allowed you to just send the text without converting it to whatever picture they thought you should want. I think if we'd never gone through that stage, I would hate them less. As it stands, we've made this a whole lot more complicated than it has to be and the art of interpreting the text emoticons is basically lost.

Also, I've got an ex-coworker in her late 40's who apparently now types in sentences where the majority of the parts of speech are replaced by an emoji. "Radishes are 'thumbs down' 'vomiting face'" and other statements built with the same grammar. She's an idiot and that was apparent long before this started, but it's gotten worse over the last 4-5 years.

Basically, I'd like to opt out of picture emojis. I'm not sure anything worthwhile has been communicated with them. Well, maybe leave out grandparents. My husband's grandmother isn't a fast typer, so she sends messages mostly made of sweet emojis and you know it's sent with love. But anyone actually trying to make a point with them irritates me. It feels like they're talking like a baby, but in print.
Sounds like you might prefer an iPad Pro with a keyboard.
Eh, depends on the product. Moleskin Cahier journals are truly pedestrian-looking things, but they have decent, unlined paper and a good size and shape for quick, project-specific notes on your desk. And they handle wear better than small, cheap notebooks. (Aside from those hard-covered composition books, which is something I've tried in the past. And those have spine/glue problems.)

While the Field Notes limited editions are blatantly collectibles, most are similar enough to the standard items to just use. Get one of the fancy leather covers if you worry about damaging them, then stick it in your pocket when you need to take a note. (Given most are the same price as their standard notebooks, it's really more of a fun little decoration for the everyday tool.)

And a Fisher AG7 is just handy to clip to the notebook in your pocket, so you always have a normal-feeling ballpoint pen that will always work. It's the only pen I've managed to hold onto long enough to get refills.

Thank you for sharing your insights and information about PDI (will be looking more in depth about this), and I agree with what you mentioned how based on demographics and the relationship between the two person can totally change how you communicate with them.

The basic intent of the project was to curate a list of things what you might feel like saying vs how you can say it (more professionally I guess)
