There are a lot of words here that don't relaly say a lot but here are two immediate problems.

First:

> The story also turns out to be in part about why California, which had a growth streak dating back to the gold rush, saw it broken in 2020, when the population shrank by 182,000, causing a first-ever loss of a congressional seat.

It seems disingenuous at best (and intellectually dishonest at worst) to talk about what happened in 2020 without even mentioning the unprecedented pandemic, Not a great start.

Second, using the DEFH lawsuit against Activision-Blizzard as any kind of example of government overreach is on very shaky grounds. For anyone unfamiliar iwth the case, let me recount some highlights:

1. Employees engaged in cube crawls where they'd get drunk and go from cube to cube harassing female employees;

2. One female employee was in a relationship with a superior. That superior showed a photo of her vagine at a company offsite. That woman committed suicide;

3. Breastfeeding mothers would store breast milk that they would pump while at work in a fridge they shared with beer for some reason. They complained that their breast milk was being stolen without any action taken.

The state spent 2 years investigating these claims.

To me this is exactly what the government should be doing so you have a pretty high bar to meet to show this lawsuit is evidence of any kind of state wrongdoing.
Isn’t saying “Land Train” like saying “Sky Plane”?
> The Buddhists definitely know about this, but a lot of their writing is pretty impenetrable and interlaced with weird metaphysics. Here's some modern, secular words on the subject:

This and linking MCTB (of all things) are the exact dangerous taking out of context I’m warning against. Daniel Ingram is a terrible resource, he should not be recommended
Imagine a population of 2 women, one who has 2 children and one who has 100. Average is 51. Next generation 2 women have 1 child each and 100 women have 99 each, so the average is about 98. Eventually it will go down to zero, but initially it goes up.
Another resource that might appeal to the HN type is The Mind Illuminated, by John Yates (a.k.a. Culadasa).

I believe (s/t)he(y) means in the sense of risk management. A lot of things are done to ensure that certain risks are minimized.
I had some early model MSI Wind Netbook. What a great little machine. They were nice and hackable – I remember replacing the Wifi module with an OS X friendly model and getting a nearly perfect Hackintosh experience for a few hundred bucks, and in a form factor smaller than anything Apple had at the time.

I think Chromebooks largely displaced the Netbook segment, which is sad. Feels like today you can get: A cheap, bigger laptop; An expensive, small ultrabook/Mac; A Chromebook.
The abstract seems to be suggesting that the anarchic principles of self-organization should be more closely looked at.

Tries to draw from covid pandemic data it has at hand to show how these principles stood at the base of voluntary social activity that spun up around the world in this time.

If it succeeds in that, haven't read the paper yet, but it comes from an anarhic positive perspective which, for me at least, makes it an interesting paper.
I mean, look what happened to Qwest. It’s totally believable.
Most of what is described there seems like "backup larping".

I don't need to backup my Discord and most likely I will be able to simply restore any iTerm configuration that I have in less time than setting up and keeping file system snapshots running.

Any DEVONThink or my excel spreadsheets or invoices / documents that I care about I can simply backup after I am done working on them. I usually work on one or two at the time. When my laptop dies I probably can just remember what was needed to be done and redo the work.

Restoring file system snapshot would usually be much more hassle than filling in single invoice again or downloading it from some provider again.

For web applications there is usually SLA where they specify how much data can be lost like 1 hour or 30 mins - but no one will realistically guarantee "no data lost" - because imagine doing full snapshot of 1 Terabyte drive it takes I suppose at least an hour anyway.
Yeah, I'm not sure what the difference is between the people who come away from the experienced more "enlightened" vs just more insane.

It kind of feels like an all-or-nothing thing: once you start to "see through the illusion of self", you have to follow that through to its logical conclusion or you'll be stuck living with intense cognitive dissonance.

I don't generally like to talk about this stuff too much because it sounds absolutely nuts to people who haven't experienced it.
That would still maintain the illusion that citizens are choosing who represents them, though. With gerrymandering, and SCOTUS thinking money is speech, it would be more honest to let corporations have voting power proportional to their market cap.

Musk has a history of making public, bad-faith declarations to pump assets he later sells at profit.

More than one person has pointed out that Musk likely wanted to sell his Twitter stock, and was using the official-looking, low-ball buy offer to pump it. Twitter board smartly called his bluff, and now Musk is trying to weasel his way out of paying anything.

This was one of the things I've heard many senior people at Target talk about. They constantly have a pipeline of people they're pushing into leadership roles. If you come in and show some promise managing projects and people, they essentially start grooming you immediately and focus on pushing you up in the leadership ranks.

AFAIK they've never had any issues with having enough people in their org either on the retail or corporate side who want to be in leadership roles.

Even at $1 a day, there is still a barrier associated with participaing. Having to log in, find out how to change the setting/talk to someone. Fewer barriers are better, I bet the net graduation rates increased, even if the completion to participation ratio dropped some.

I agree that if you can't be bothered to figure out how to contribute the $1 a day, then you're probably not all that driven.

Yeah, but the ergonomics suck. Especially for random cleanup tasks that aren’t necessarily one-object, one-task.

Other than bash not being portable to even the exact same machine, due to having so many footguns. Creating a new file can potentially fail a previously working bash, because it may have used .txt expecting a single file, or whatever, and there are a million others.

Don’t get me wrong, I accept that there are legitimate use cases for bash, but I really can’t help but feel that anything longer than 3 lines (including #!) is better off in anything*.
You seem to presuppose that the people involved in the team conversations about these metrics are stupid or clueless to a point of willfulness or intentionally bad actors. If that's the case, as with the case where you're somehow able to approve your own CR's, you face problems unrelated to the numbers. If those are the kind of problems you face, you need to fix them well before you try to bring in any processes designed to help a well functioning organization function better, including the case you called out where devs are approving code reviews without understanding them.

Zen Buddhism is not secular at all. It is a traditional form of Mahayana Buddhism. In China and Vietnam Zen Buddhists practise Pure Land extensively.

that has nothing to with the OP
From poking at this with benchmarks, results are basically:

Hiding an anonymous `return it.field` behind an interface{} in an attempt to stop inlining or other optimizations: 2x worse than directly accessing a field (same as direct access when not doing the interface dance, so it's preventing something at least). So "excellent performance", though there may be optimizations happening in a benchmark that aren't realistic in a larger system.

Using `reflect.ValueOf(it).Field(0).String()` each time: 60x worse than direct field reference. Go reflection remains pretty fast, but that's rather noticeable.

There does not appear to be any way to cache ^ that reflection operation. I.e. I don't see any way to go from `reflect.TypeOf(it).Field(0)` to "read that field from this instance".

---

And somewhat surprisingly: `m := instance.Method; benchmark{ m() }` performs ~10x worse than `benchmark{ instance.Method() }` and `m := type.Method; benchmark{ m(instance) }`. There's no intentional optimization-defeating here, so it is entirely possible this difference disappears in practice, but I'm surprised that they're not identical.

And I couldn't figure out a way to get a reference to a pointer-implemented method, e.g. `m := (&type).Method` or something. It only works on `m := type.Method` when the method is a value receiver. Possibly I'm missing something obvious.

---

I kinda want to redo ^ these and check compiler output closely, and try adding more packages / make more realistic optimizer-information-loss like you'd see in more normal go code. I suspect there are still some unrealistic ones occurring. But I've gotta drop this for now, so that's going on my ever-growing todo list.

Because, like with third party Counter-Strike knife skin sites, it always devolves into money laundering and illegal gambling.

Only in an ecosystem like cryptocurrency that exists for those purposes does it make sense.
There's still some things Safari prioritizes that other vendors don't have. For example, Chrome (and FF) still haven't fully implemented CSS colors level 4.

Chrome and Firefox are still clamping all CSS colors to sRGB. You literally can't render anything outside of sRGB with CSS. And almost all modern Apple devices are capable of the display-p3 color space.

This is very noticeable when rendering reds and greens, especially.

It's a pretty common view of what happened (personally, my history classes never reached the Cold War, so I can't say how it's taught). This video[1], which aims to debunk the common interpretation, gives a decent overview at the beginning of how people usually view the event (I'm not a big fan of the channel in general, just using it as an example of how the event often gets viewed).

Have they just started tracking “developer productivity” or do they also spend time on identifying good developers and enabling them to teach their skills?

If you want some form of rational decision when you develop a team, how else but with metrics do you make decisions?
Yeah, we had a PR bomb recently in a way that "plan" could have *trivially* caught had it used any of the "Get*" APIs from the cloud provider to ask about the current situ.

I appreciate that "the map is not the terrain," and that "plan" is speculating about a future configuration of the world, but come on -- if "terraform plan" is going to require _live credentials_ to run, and then only use those to enumerate the active regions, what are we even doing here?!

My reading of this is we can't make claims like X% practicioners have negative outcomes - the numbers are too messy. We can definitely say a significant amount of practictioners do have negative outcomes.

But, those negative outcomes are wide and while they include suicide, depression and panic attacks, the majority of them are things like anxiety.

You are digging into and tinkering with your psyche. Of course there are going to be negative outcomes. I would be more skeptical if the claim was meditation did something and never had negative effects.
Would that apply to individuals as well?

The details of the protocol are just obfuscation. The 10,000 ft view is that people converted USD to tokens so they could earn 20% interest. As the dust settles, we can see the outcome looks exactly like a Ponzi:

(1) The folks running the scheme walked away with a couple billion dollars

(2) Those who cashed out early got back their original investment plus interest

(3) Everyone else lost all/most of their investment

Notably, all the extra money received by groups (1) and (2) came from (3).

I remember reading on here that the breakup fee is only applicable in very narrow cases, basically only if the US govt blocks the deal. If it's not applicable then he's on the hook for the whole ~40billy. Does he still come out ahead financially in that case if, for instance, the Twitter board take him to court? Genuine question.
I am also confused, this seems like such a low hanging fruit - there's gotta be a downside.
This is a good point. I’ll also add that California is not one big city. There are parts that are doing really well economically, and other parts that are doing terribly. Housing may be somewhat cheap on those economically deprived areas, but they’d be cheaper still in other states with better job prospect. Or, someone who grew up in California may end up leaving the state because their chosen career path wouldn’t allow for them to ever purchase a home here.
> But the reason we find them convenient is that, at least in most of the US, cities are built for cars.

A subtly better way to frame this is to say that American cities were destroyed for cars. Streetcar tracks were ripped up. Roads were widened at the expense of sidewalk. Neighborhoods were demolished and replaced with parking lots, freeways, and car dealerships. Many municipalities stopped maintaining their core inner cities and bet the house on big-box stores on the outskirts. It cost hundreds of billions of dollars collectively to subsidize the car in the U.S., which had the side effect of cannibalizing passenger rail and metropolitan transit, as well as building places that are prohibitively dangerous to cycle or walk in.

One illuminating exercise is to find photos of Houston from the 1920s and compare them to the 1970s. You would think that someone had carpet-bombed the city.

Third week into a role. Managers too busy to meet. One reports that we have no product owner, no audience, and no requirements. The other demands a confident promise to deliver the app by Q3.

I recommend trimming the "MVP" to focus on just one, concrete user need, so that we have a prototype to deliver.

Manager: No, just stub 99% of the REST contract and get it to prod.

With each new software role, I feel I am somehow moving backwards compared to the relatively well positioned earlier roles.

WOW. That number is mind boggling.
In 2020, the average wage of an hourly worker in a Walmart store was $14.76. Over a year, that $1 a day comes out to a month's car payment, or child care. I believe you can be driven to complete college courses and still not be able to afford it given the average pay at Walmart.

Yes, you are correct in that it does not guarantee correctness. Point-in-time snapshots are necessary but not sufficient. Without them, the possible corruption scenarios are infinite and cannot be handled or even detected. With them, it is up to the applications to do the right thing in what is equivalent to a power loss event.

Hum, no. I'm talking exactly about abandoned work.

If you don't abandon work, you either don't take any risky task, or you create a really shitty environment and will lose effectiveness soon because of it anyway.

And yes, for some software you don't actually need to take any risky task. At least for a while. But if you are in a position to set that policy, you are very likely not in a position to have a clear enough view to know if your software is such one.
