Your first paragraph rings true, but I have to disagree that the second is the solution. I’ve seen engineering management play this game to justify headcount without acknowledging the strategic or product definition problems and it just leads to more chaos and pressure on the team. If engineering doesn’t have both a voice at the leadership level (for whatever scope is in question) and sufficient biz/product chops to find the right 80/20 path and team/ownership structure then headcount is just more grist for the failed project mill.
Staying away from Cloudflare and their products for good. The only thing they succeeded for me is scaring away customers (and driving them mad in the process), and myself. Just in case anyone from CF is reading this.
Well, except trying to stop parents from using their resources, time,
and effort to better the lives and increase the opportunities for their children in concrete ways is pretty much the definition of dystopia, and goes against pretty much every ‘good’ evolutionary pressure we can identify (aka K strategy). [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/R/K_selection_theory]

Politics, power, etc. are often avenues for improvement once you get past the basic ‘put food on the table’ situation. Sometimes before that, and are required to put food on the table. They aren’t exclusionary. They are typically more ‘rubber meets the road’ though.

Politics isn’t about making a boss happy after all, it’s about getting a bloc what it thinks it needs (or fooling them into thinking that’s happening, which is usually what it actually looks like on the ground).

If a bloc of people is getting discriminated against, for instance, then one avenue to fix that is to get enough political power to stop it. Which is using political power to get more
opportunity. And no one else is likely to agree on what they think ‘enough’ opportunity looks like.

If there was any enforcement of any ‘you can’t give your
kids a leg up over anyone else’ that would, however, definitely favor the r- side. Which certainly provides a lot of cannon fodder and favors Malthus more.

One could be in favor of an estate tax that removes some of the really outsized distortion possible with fabulous wealth (50% tax per generation?), without removing the invencentive to invest in higher quality, fewer children.

Any sort of block on trying to improve your children’s education though? Yikes. Guys will have zero incentive ever marry or show up (just locks you in to someone pointlessly and makes you tired when hey, the system will pick up the slack), women will have little incentive to do anything but pawn them off to the system (they’d get punished if they tried to do more than that, at some point), etc.

Talk about some Great Leap Forward type BS.
> He didn’t found Tesla

Oh not this crap again. Perfectly good article ruined by petty pedantry.

You’ve only heard about Tesla because Elon became a co-founder.
Isn't this argument entirely defeated by the existence of share classes though? Forgive me if I'm incorrect but aren't founders already free to maintain control of the company by holding all voting shares while issuing separate non voting shares.

It seems supremely unimaginative to believe that we couldn't easily come up with a situation where Jeff Bezos owns 0.01% of Amazon but still maintains full control of the company.

Personally I think affording that level of control to an individual is supremely irresponsible once a corporation has reached a size that it's failure would cause severe harm to society. Especially since the people responsible, more often than not, remain extremely well off while the rest of us get to pick up the pieces.
Every analogy is just that - an analogy - it should not be taken 100% literally.

It is something that some workers in some department at the manufacturer's should know. Like for the E-Call: it is in the European law that it may be disabled (by the manufacturer and not by the car owner), but your interfaces to the manufacturer will easily not know.

Is the implication here that we should wait another 3,500 years for our reservoirs to return to their former peak levels? I'm not sure that trends from a geological time scale are helpful in current public policy debates on natural resource shortages or climate changes.
Are you going to expand on that or just assert it?

Why are these things as effective as they are in the ukrain-russian war? Don't these things show up on radar and therefor vulnerable to conventional anti air defence. Before the start of the war experts where warning that russia could lock down the air space of the whole of europe. These single propeller planes can not be as fast as jet engines and need to be almost on top of their target to drop bombs on them? What is preventing Russia from building these things in the thousands and I don't know patrol the skies of eastern ukrain with it?

Ongoing multivariate testing is certainly a thing, especially in high volume e-commerce, and especially on ad company's advertising-related UI. You're correct, winners are chosen and rolled out (to the majority) but then new tests are created against that winner, and that's an oversimplification.
COM wasn't killed off, though. It's the main tech behind all modern Windows APIs these days.
The beer game was purposely designed to isolate human mistakes as a cause of instability, separated from weather and stuff like that. What weather, technological changes, etc. do is it makes it impossible to design a simple control system.

If you run an anti-harassment office and you get rid of harassment, you are out of a job and out of power. If you keep finding more and more harassment, you are set for life. Plus if you try to tone it down there's 50 juniors behind you with dubious degrees that will gladly denounce you for being too old fashioned and take your juicy position for themselves.

I don't think getting more middle-managers will ever get this issues any better because it's in their interests to increase their power as much as possible, not solve anything.
I would say that these are context-sensitive, but it doesn't seem to be analogue to C++'s most vexing parse. In the most vexing parse case all identifiers are resolved to the correct kind (type name or variable name), yet it is still ambiguous. The C examples are unambiguous after the kind of the identifiers are identified.

A C exmaple:

T(*ptr)[42];

If T is a type then this is a declarations of a pointer to an array of T. If T is a function, then this is a function call followed by a subscript (which is then discarded).

A similar C++ analogue would be:

C<0>(0);

If C is a function template with a non-type template parameter, then this is a function call of C<0> with argument 0. If C is an int variable instead then it is equivalent to the following expression (C < 0) > 0 .

But for T a(); in both possible interpretations T is a type, and 'a' is the new entity being declared. So parsing this is not context-sensitive, it's simply ambiguous. C++ resolves the ambiguity by choosing in favor of function declarations. I'm not aware of a C analogue similar to this.
The body text font for this blog post is hard to read.

I can't tell if that's ironic or not.
They look a lot as though they're profiting from re-entangling as much as possible. This isn't automatically equivalent to reconciliation or equality, and it often looks like the complete opposite.
That's still a shortcoming in the current setup. The API does not yet allow us to "track" a file as it is moved around on disk. So the best thing we can do is upload it from its new destination, keeping the original version where it is (we want to avoid guesswork and ensure no data is ever lost). We can likely optimize this. Would love to see the API evolve so that we can keep persistent file handles even after moving and renaming (including parent folders).
Yep, I stopped developing professionally around 10 years ago. Even back then I heard rumbles of dissatisfaction with scrum, although it was a good experience for me in the places I worked.

We embraced the agility, gave a lot of autonomy to the developers and had good product owners. We used scrum, also a bit of kanban and mashed them up in whatever way worked for us.

The product owners shielded us from the business if they tried to interfere too much, and built trust with all the stakeholders that we were delivering. The sprint reviews were really popular events.

Scrum can work well, as can many other things. It's not so much the methodology itself that causes problems. It's when everyone misses what the actual point of Agile really is.
The government definitely thinks of SpaceX as a defense company. They have to comply with ITAR because if you have the technology to get to space you basically have the technology for an ICBM.
You're taking this as if every business is a huge faceless corporation.

If my employer pushed out garbage there's gonna be a real hit to our reputation (we work in a deeply technical sector - the backlash would really hurt the long term profitability).

The website itself is well organized. There's good reason to believe that people who want some X info will also be interested into Y info (due to legislation or standards set by the industry or simply because there are domain specific trends).

There really is a mutual interest in knowing these correlations. That way some segments won't be pushed useless stuff that they aren't likely to be interested in.

They said we wouldn't need tracking. How would we get those info without tracking?

No, we are not selling that data to anyone and it could be anonymous for all we care (IMO this is more an issue with the http protocol than anything else, but good luck changing that)
Agreed, that's definitely the big glaring issue to me too. Normally all letters being identical is a good expected thing, but for an aged look it falls flat because aging doesn't uniformly affect every single letter across pages and books of course. And our brains are pretty good at doing pattern recognition/outline shape comparison with stuff that is side-by-side, so once you notice it niggles a bit. Now that I think about it that seems like a product which should exist, be it standalone or as a plug-in, where "aging" could be soft-applied (not talking rasterizing the text then applying filters to the pixels themselves) to any arbitrary string of text either with a certain amount of random noise or via algorithms that would simulate various kinds of environmental effects on stone/wood/papyrus/vellum/paper. It's almost certainly not worth having that kind of complexity in fonts/typesetting engines themselves though the typegeek in me thinks it'd be pretty dang fun.
Those arguments don't even seem to have been debunked yet.

> 1) to keep Visual Studio consistent with the direction of other Microsoft user experiences

In other words, we jumped off this bridge because all our friends did to. Consistency... with other Microsoft products. What a joke. What about consistency with virtually every other Windows application, both from 3rd parties and Microsoft's own history? Citing consistency to justify such a bizarre departure from the 20 year norm is truly insulting.
Well, Adobe Reader is a viewer, not an editor (that’s Adobe Acrobat). For light editing like rotating pages I’d recommend the free version of PDF-XChange
Editor: https://www.tracker-software.com/product/pdf-xchange-editor
(Persistent rotation is on the “Organize” tab.)

It’s easy for Apple because they don’t sell a competing product. Adobe has to balance providing a useful free viewer against a paid editor (or payed extra functions). There’s certainly a lot I’d like to see improved/included in Adobe Reader, but I also recognize that they are in a different market position than Apple.
Unfortunately you'll find these issues across Oceania and Europe as well. Germany just appointed their first anti-racism commissioner in the last election.
> so yes some problems are best solved by government, but innovation isnt one of them.

1. I've worked in gov labs, industry labs, and academic labs. Mostly industry labs. People and culture are the most important thing. The variability in innovation between companies is often WAY higher than the variability between the public and private sector. Gov labs can be insanely innovative or quagmires. Same for industry labs. It's all about the people and culture. Good people and good culture and possible in the public and private sectors. Bad people and bad culture are also possible in the public and private sectors. Anyone telling you otherwise is trolling and/or selling an idiology (sic).

2. The whole point of the above post was that there's ENORMOUS value in the "tried and true". Getting rid of endemic malaria has been possible for the better part of a century. It's a governance problem, not an innovation problem.

It's totally normal for smaller towns and villages across Germany (and Austria and (?) Switzerland) to have mostly volunteer fire services.

I don't think there's anything new (nor do I think "newness" is the best way to judge an essay), but I do think you've mis-paraphrased the first point. It's not so much "they don't need that much money" as "after a certain point, more money has vanishing small utility, so having that much money is wasting the money."
Yes, there are plenty of reckless people driving illegally in their Teslas.

But if Tesla is ahead, why did they back down recently and add driver monitoring systems as required by level 2, instead of applying for a level 3 certification?

Getting to level 99 or playing hardcore mode isn’t the objective for 99+% of players.

Diablo 2 is a fairly forgiving and moderately casual game imo. Most builds require only one skill for damage, and respeccing and how easy it is to get a character rushed means it’s easy to experiment or fix builds.

Cyber providers are becoming much more savvy and are starting to decide that self-service 'yeah we are totally doing this' self-assessment checklists aren't sufficient. I have around 20 financial institutions on my client list and 11 of them have had their first hands-on penetration test in the past year.

A year ago they would just send a laptop with Nessus on it and then sign off on a risk sheet full of the usual llmnr/nebios/kerberoast/smb1 vulns because they didn't know what it meant. Now they will pop your domain administrator and refuse your renewal or jack your rates until you get a followup pentest demonstrating that those vulns have been resolved.

>You must know what it's like to be heads down in the middle of something extremely mentally taxing, only to find you need an answer to a question or something, and that context switching to something else in the meantime becomes an enormous cognitive burden.

So why is it okay if you have a need of someone else to force it on them? You can make the exact same argument pulling someone out of their flow to support you keeping yours.

>Humans don't multitask.

It's not multitasking. It's a context switch made out of necessity to keep yourself doing something. If it turns out your teammate responds early and you have to restart on the old task and ultimately you lose time, yes, that sucks. But what else are you going to do? Again, you're either taxing yourself, taxing someone else, or twiddling your thumbs to avoid the tax in hopes it ends up being the most profitable choice.

It's because I'm a developer I know exactly how annoying it is to be in either situation, both as the one who needs to help others, and as the one who needs help from others.

>I'm very curious where you got this idea because it certainly doesn't reflect reality.

We only had a single pandemic lasting 2 years with some evidence suggesting some subpopulation would do better asynchronous, remote or both. That's a far cry from running a larger experiment over the course of 20 years in an environment you're not forced to almost fully isolate yourself otherwise. If you're claiming there is large scale evidence proving sync is obviously and clearly better than async, in an environment which at least attempts to accommodate async, by all means, present it.
It's really hard to argue that climate change isn't a component. The problem may still exist without climate change, that's an argument that certainly can be made.

If you have to say "Oh it's good advice but you have to interpret it right," when the advice has an obvious misinterpretation pothole that clearly wrecks many prominent applications of it, maybe that reflects poorly on the original advice and indicates that it shouldn't be offered without the necessary critical context.
>> Politically, it's much easier to sell the "no one should have this much power" over "no one should be allowed to amass so much money". Left and Right could easily be united on this.

Haha. I think some of the folks in Washington have more power than the billionaires and they would be making the rules.

In terms of simple limits, let's prevent companies owning/buying/selling other companies. Or block corporate ownership or residential property. There are many other things that could reduce concentration of power. Let's ban campaign ad funding by out of state entities - including political parties.

abduco claims to be a tmux alternative, which there are probably a few - I don't think any of these points being made are attempting to claim tmux is the only tool with these features, only that the features are very useful - tmux just happens to be one of the most popular tools in this category of tools
Character alternates have been a feature in OpenType for a while. They can be triggered contextually or manually with CSS. Usually these and ligatures are enough to create natural-looking variations.
