3 Days in the Highly Motivated Research Lab

>Eisenhower requested a special kind of grease to help enable an amphibious attack on Sicily. On May 31, the Standard Oil Development Company (SODC), the technical hub of Standard Oil of New Jersey, where experiments and testing were centralized, received instructions to create a scalable formula so that delivery of the grease could happen within one week. SODC succeeded and SONJ began producing the lubricant in its Baltimore plant on June 2.

leading to many days in the grease plant like the one documented.

That's major milestones for you, the old fashioned way.

There's something about the way you can maintain readiness with decades of experiments & testing under one hat, on the same rare equipment.

It’s not despicable, it’s risk adjusting by carrying inventory. (If you inventory more than you can use, and it’s perishable, it’s a different problem.)
> I do get where you're coming from

Given how little "getting" there's evidence for in your previous comments and how quickly you resorted to the most convenient strawman at the time (that I'm just some "people who dislike JS railing against it for its own sake"), this is doubtful.

I can't say I get where you're coming from—too difficult to locate the logical throughline in your comment and how it relates to (a) the specific issues raised in the original article, and (b) your original mischaracterization of it.
In other words, the more ignorant someone is, the better they like it. That is not exactly a glowing endorsement.
Yeah this annoys me to no end how tech people pretend that they have casually invented peace on earth, and act like it's the most obvious thing in the world. "Of course large groups of people simply just get along perfectly and efficiently without any coordination" Yeah right.

It's the people who are dysfunctional who thrive in these environments because they don't have to be accountable, so their issues just disappear, and people who actually function and take their job seriously will burn out and go insane in the chaos.
Probably because LA County has over 75% of the population of its MSA and over 50% of the population of its CSA; by contrast, however you define it (its MSA, the traditional 9 county "Bay Area", or its CSA), San Francisco County is only a minority of the population of its metro area. It isn't even the most populous county in the Bay Area–Santa Clara, Alameda and Contra Costa all have significantly larger populations. Similarly Harris County and the City of Houston dominate the population of their metro area in a way in which the City and County of San Francisco does not.

I still think there is a difference here between American and Australian usage – American popular conceptions of geography pay far greater attention to local government boundaries than Australians do. That makes complete sense, considering that local governments in the US have vastly more power than those in Australia – here, courts, elections (even local elections), prosecutors, corrections departments, law enforcement, fire departments, ambulances/paramedics, public schools, public hospitals, public transport and land titles are all exclusively state government responsibilities, and in inner metropolitan areas, the state government runs the water supply and sewerage system as well. Americans pay much more mental attention to local government boundaries than Australians do, because those boundaries have a significantly greater impact on their everyday lives.

> Python feels rooted in procedural programming

Yes it does, and its OOP features feel sloppily bolted and taped on. It seems everyone really wants to use Python in a very OOPy way, so that means using all the awkward features and decorators to try to accomplish what is elegantly simple and clear in Ruby.

Worse even, the functional aspect of Python is a schizophrenic mess, with a mix of functools, builtins, and comprehensions. Meanwhile, in Ruby the structure and patterns of function features is consistent and arguably very sensible.

The only good argument for using Python is, "The people before us used it, and now we continue using it." Even so, there's a good chance that a rewrite in a better language would be worthwhile.

Who says they have to be "without direction?"

Only in a very hierarchical organisation are the lowest levels without direction -- because the higher levels maintain their position by keeping important information secret.

If the important information (market signals, experiment outcomes, financial data, etc.) is made available to everyone, and everyone receives a sliver of training in interpreting it, any group of engineers worth their salt can make responsible decisions in the right direction. (Often much better than a small set of executives would.)
One tip that really works for improving dream recall:

I don't live in USA, and we don't build our houses from lumber and cardboard... but(!), there were shotages of materials here too.

Why? Lockdowns! Suddenly people had a lot more time on their hands, a lot less places available to spend their money and everyone around me decided on some kind of a construction/renovation/... project. This made people buy more construction materials (cement, tiles, lumber too) and combined with some supply chain issues, prices skyrocketed. A friend of mine was building an "open garage" (slab of cement, four poles, roof, and an overhang to put a "picnic table" there too), and had to buy cement four times during a month-long diy project, and each time, the price was higher (all in the same month).

I’ve spent a lot of time in the opposite work culture: Sweden. It has its pros and cons, but to be honest I’d move to Silicon Valley in a heartbeat if it wasn’t for the bureaucracy involved.

> It’s ok to go to work because it’s a means to an end.

Sure, that should be okay. But if someone wants to spend their free time studying, should that not be allowed? Should they be passed up for promotion because of it? Should your “code family” help you feel shame for it?

It’s not easy to strike a good balance between those who do seek self-realization in work and those who see it as a means to an end. Instead of having these two groups fight it out in every workplace I think society should provide opportunities for both. (But you can’t complain if those that prioritize work over everything else have more interesting and rewarding careers.)

The connector is extremely hard to solder. They are over $1 each and so far I have destroyed 7 already.

I have tried via hot air, heated plate to hand soldering with the iron. The hot air will melt the connector so that won't work unless you heat from the bottom the the PCB. Hand soldering is also almost impossible because you can't really get to the pins and if you just slightly touch the plastic it will melt immediately. I also could not get it to work with solder paste and a hot plate. The pins are so small they don't want to adhere to the PCB. I may need to get gold plates pcbs and a stencil to place the exact amount of paste I need to get this to work. A QFN package is easy to solder in comparison.

The only reason he has as much as he does is via grift, puffing the value of his properties. He has delivered a bunch of legendarily unreliable expensive cars and a bunch of rocket launches, and been handed pots of money of far greater value than anything he has delivered. Grift.

And he gets free puffery from internet volunteers.

The only issue might be that downstream impacts are a few months away yet - take for example a property development not too far away from me here. Four and five bedroom houses went on the market initially at $700k, then were all withdrawn, and put back up for $850k "because of the increase in general costs of construction materials".

This slump is going to have very expensive properties selling at way above their build price.
> there were a producer that did not participate in the price-fix, and could scale his production up, he'd outcompete the price-fixers

New production is capital intensive. It’s currently difficult for oil producers to justify that to investors. The higher prices are only accelerating secular trends towards long-term lower oil demand.

> actually figure out how to write good abstractions.

There's an element of no-true-scottsman in this argument. Most codebases that I've seen have excessive amounts of unnecessary abstractions. It's rare to see a codebase that has too few abstractions. You can of course make the argument that "they just weren't creating the right abstractions", and it's not necessarily incorrect - it's just unhelpful as a piece of advice. You can take any methodology - no matter how bad it is - and claim that any seeming faults in the methodology are simply the result of people applying it incorrectly. "No true scottsman would have created this abstraction".

Since the needle is currently pointing in one direction more often than the other, I think it's generally helpful to shell out advice that moves the needle in the other direction: advice such as "less abstractions is generally better".

> If I employ relevant techniques to protect my domain and the protection works, and I am not sending spam (which I am not), then Google (no idea what MS does) should not care about the IP I am sending my e-mail through.

They definitely take the IP less into account if other things are more trustworthy. Totally ignoring it would be short-sighted from them. There are many cases where the domain is fine but looking at the IP and its usage patterns helps prevent abuse. Be it misconfigured (and then abused) SPF, stolen DKIM keys, public website that's email-capable getting compromised, these things happen a lot.

> Even better - Google could help small mail server admins by actually providing the information that landed their e-mail in the spam folder. If the protection is tied to the domain, no spammer will be helped by this knowledge.

They have a significant amount of content-based filtering, knowing that helps spammer reword their crap and bypass those.

> I have proved that the e-mail is tied to my domain and they know that my domain is not spamming - what more do they want?

That's also part of the thing, you can't prove and enforce this for both envelope and header from at the same time. Not to mention how minuscule the amount of perfect and strict SPF+DKIM+DMARC is out in the wild. At this point in time IP's are a very strong signal.

I remember reading a thought experiment: after a fire drill when everyone is in the parking lot, the CEO can say,

"Everyone who was in an actual call with a customer when the drill started can get back in. The rest of you stay out until someone dealing with a customer asks for your help."

I imagine a lot of people in HR, marketing, and various other paper-shuffling positions have to stay in the parking lot for quite some time. Not to mention many executives!

I don't know if you're missing facts about what is happening in Ukraine, or if you don't see how those events fit the concept of genocide. In short: what is happening in Ukraine is not a normal war.

Putin says his motive is to protect Russian-speakers, create a Russian empire of a single ethnicity and "undo" Ukraine as a nation. He dehumanizes Ukrainians. He removes the Ukrainian language from the areas he captures such as Donbas. He has abducted hundreds of Ukrainian children. While he "protects" Russian speakers, he commands his troops to kill Ukrainian civilians in masses.

Since iPhone 4 I have been saying Apple should take over the office by replacing all but power users' desktops with an iPhone that when at the desk, runs a Microsoft Office/Exchange compatible environment (web, email, word processing, presentation, spreadsheet, etc.) connected to a bluetooth kb and wifi display which all autosyncs along with documents and state whenever within proximity as well as seamlessly integrating with the present office telephony.

Anyway, this is the best thing I have seen in a while, but the demo video would have been more impressive with display sharing (with the vm fullscreen) and bluetooth kb&m, because it visually proves the viable pocket light workstation.

A meta-observation: the logic underpinning bothsiderism or whataboutism, correct or incorrect, is that everyone is equally evil and there is no sincere goodness, so any attempt to punish a particular evil is itself evil and insincere. By its own logic it can't say that the action it criticizes is wrong -- its own criticism can't be sincere -- but it justifies opposing or at least not supporting the action. The world is just funhouse mirrors. Moral judgment is impossible.
