I recommend Haberfellner - Systems Engineering (ISBN 303013430X).

The Incose handbook for systems engineering: https://www.incose.org/products-and-publications/se-handbook

(You might be able to find an older version for free)

Disclaimer: I've been participating in a Systems Engineering master program @ university a while back which was based on both Haberfellner (and is finally available in English also) and Incose.

The more important aspect of the Smalltalk approach is that the method is the basic unit (like having one source file per method).

The difference is that the grammar of the transit file is not the language's grammar.
I never complained about the speed or battery life of the machine, so your mocking tone is unjustified. Apple's system-on-a-chip M1 architecture has essentially got a lot of its speed/efficiency gains at the expense of limiting RAM options. Today even web browsers running typical web pages consume gigabytes of RAM. So yes, 8GB of RAM for such expensive machines is disappointing for me personally. My work issued laptop has 32GB of RAM.
this last point is misleading enough to be basically false. python has a library to do multiple dispatch, but the hard parts of multiple dispatch isn't the feature, it's making it fast enough to be usable. the python library only works at run time, which means ever function call using it will take at least a few microseconds. this is ok for niche use cases, but it's 1000x too slow for general use. the reason multiple dispatch in Julia is actually powerful is that the compiler can resolve almost all of the dispatches at compile time, so you don't have to pay for them at runtime.

> My possibly-very-flawed layman's view of the legal system is that it's on the prosecutor to prove that you did something wrong.

It is, but practically there's some big issues with that. Including:

The police can investigate, including in ways that are going to be very uncomfortable, costly and annoying for you. This app will definitely be used as evidence.

Some of the anti-abortion laws are being written as allowing people to sue you. That shifts the burden of proof away from "beyond a reasonable doubt" to something much easier.

If you do get charged with a crime _many_ people take plea bargains for good game-theoretic reasons. You can tell yourself that you'd definitely fight it until the end, but often that'd be idiotic, and traumatic if you really did.

These kinds of things tend to get used disproportionally against the poor and the marginalized.
The sensors, optics and processing on any recent iPhone leaves even $200 webcams (Brio, Elgato) in the dust. If you want a better camera, you have to go with a mirrorless or DSLR hooked up to your Mac, and these setups are finicky and require third party software. If this Just Works, it will be a massive upgrade in image quality for most people with a camera they already have, perhaps not for everyday (except if you want to reuse your old phone as you upgrade) but for that one job interview or other important meeting where you want to look your best.
WalMart sells insulin for $72.88. It's not the same stuff as the $400 product, but it works.
Kind of. That money comes from somewhere. It's like saying that I have car insurance so I don't have to pay for a new windshield. Really I already paid for that windshield via my insurance premiums.
I was hoping for more RAM, like 8 GiB.
I don't need these people put in jail, I need them fired.

I wish we could simply fire police officers for being bad at their jobs without having to prove a criminal case.
> Better for the environment is never buying another computer.

Really? An older core2 computer uses like 10 times more electricity at idle than a halfway modern one. Also, since it is much less powerful, you might need multiple old computers to manage the sane workload.

I am completely unconvinced that wasting huge amounts of electricity is "better for the environment".

...but you could upgrade components. Yeah, and by now the only component in that computer that is still the same as when bought would be the case. So you threw out and bought 95% of a computer instead of 100%....

> Diabetics don't want generic insulin

I sure do. I use Humalog now and it's out of patent. There just isn't a generic available for it because it's just not all that cost effective to do. Creating and producing a generic for biologics (like insulins) is not simple like it is for simple chemicals. As I understand it, they need to undergo trials and the like, which drastically raises the price of creating them.

I think this is a backwards solution, or maybe you just dont think that regulation could happen. The price of importing goods would still raise the price beyond what other countries pay. And nothing about your solution guarantees that the prices in other countries stays low, pharma can change their prices on a whim. We can and should regulate the price of life saving medications, directly. We dont have to treat the symptom.

I agree quantity isn't the solution if communication quality is poor.

Communication is more than just talking at people. It's about having healthy boundaries, positive conflict resolution styles, being able to reach a decision quickly and explain it clearly and concisely to others. It'd about anticipating blockers and clearing them, streamlining process to keep things moving, being accountable and presenting security in yourself and your actions even if you might doubt them. But most of all its about listening and letting the team do their jobs.

Things I think software management should be doing

(besides fighting politics that again should not exist but does because corruption)

- review of reviews (how is the code review process going, i'm on problems, common wins)

Yeah it was August of 2021.
I would recommend looking at the graphs below the section you've quoted because they do explain away the incongruity that you're thinking is there.

It's 2x the perf if you compare the max power draw performance of the M2 vs the performance of the Intel CPU at the same power draw (so not maxed out)

It's 90% performance of the Intel CPU when they're both maxed out, while taking quarter of the power draw
Apple has all the hardware, firmware and software to make the webcam excellent. The fact they haven’t done that is a bit suspicious given that a ”noisy, low-resolution, unprocessed” camera is ideal for low bandwidth machine learning.
Ask HN: When you code at work, how do you code in your time off?
I love my job as a data scientist, it's incredibly creative and a lot of fun. But at the end of the day I'm pretty much done with staring at code snippets and reading documentations. The same is true for the weekends - ever since I started to code for work, my motivation to code outside of it rapidly fell towards absolute zero.

The problem is that I have a few private projects that I would love to try out. They all need coding. How do you find the motivation to work on such things when you also code for work?

Personally, I think it's probably a healthy thing to pursue completely diverse activities professionally and privately, but at the same time I feel like not honing one's professional skills during your time off is a little bit of a wasted opportunity.
Covid vaccines can be updated for new variants. So, where's my Omicron booster?
I will assert that the US medical system has pros and cons, and I would advocate for significant structural reform.

But such reform has not occurred despite decades of trying, and that’s because the system is not without the pros, and the pros make it infeasible to reform it at this time.

Pretending that the system is completely useless and broken is ignoring basic facts - such as overwhelming majorities of Americans that like their primary care doctor and their current insurance.

So it’s difficult to make such clear statements when the facts disagree with the progressive shrieking.

Furthermore - https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-is-canada-euthanisin...

> When the family of a 35-year-old disabled man who resorted to euthanasia arrived at the care home where he lived, they encountered ‘urine on the floor… spots where there was feces on the floor… spots where your feet were just sticking. Like, if you stood at his bedside and when you went to walk away, your foot was literally stuck.’ According to the Canadian government, the assisted suicide law is about ‘prioritis[ing] the individual autonomy of Canadians’; one may wonder how much autonomy a disabled man lying in his own filth had in weighing death over life.

> cobbled together a Hashicorp Vault proof-of-concept and lobbed it over the fence at one of the ops teams.

I have seen this twice now. Vault is trivial to get going and get a POC up, but it is a lot more work (ten times?), getting up properly deployed with working HA, a good structure and good processes in place so it does not become a steaming pile of spaghetti. I probably wrecked my career at one firm spending all the time doing it properly, but it was probably time to leave when they started a project to replace it with Password Manager Pro. :)
I am freshly obsessed with the RP2040 chip, last time I checked Digikey had like 90,000 in stock at 1USD a pop. I am really curious to what extent it could be configured to do the job of many of these out-of-stock chips that the car industry is hurting for, perhaps straight up emulate their I/O ?

We can actually get a pretty good idea from looking at the spectral emissions, at least which environments are likely to be more common.

On ptable.com [0] you can compare the abundance of elements in a human to the abundance on Earth, meteors, the solar system, and the universe. It seems like despite an abundance of aluminum, silicon, iron, and titanium, relatively trace amounts are found in humans (a typical animal), and most heavier elements are not needed at all and are actively toxic.

The more versatile, modular, lightweight elements are very highly represented in humans. There's a reason organic chemistry is its own field -- those "more elementary" elements are simply more unique than heavier ones. At the top of the periodic table where the nuclei have small masses and closer orbitals, the relative impact of unfilled orbitals is much more significant. The standard reduction potential of Lithium (element no. 3) is a prime example of why it is so uniquely dominant for battery chemistry.

I agree with you that our universe is a big place and a lot could happen, but my point is that attractor states exist and I would expect orders of magnitude more life to be based on organic chemistry, and probably even similar amino acids / a DNA double helix than not. Those lighter elements also tend to be more common elements throughout the universe, so the amount of planets where life with some inferior chemistry based on germanium (everything would be much heavier for the same reactivity patterns as an organic compound) would be limited to planets where there is a ton of germanium and not much carbon or silicon, which would be very rare (although it would be awesome to see what would happen!).

See it like this: They work 6-7 day because they are successful. At the same time they didn't manage to scale.
IMHO,

the key-point here is to automate the setup/deployment/maintainance of your system and application, so you have a certain degree of independence of the systems running your stage in question.

for development: use whatever you see fit - who cares if the system is down, you got automation to set it up elsewhere if for example the hardware dies.

for production: this is "the other side" of the story, here you are aiming for availability etc.

use automation - which you already "showcased" / have as some kind of a PoC for your development-systems - to be able to quickly recover from major faults.

ad db: use a local test-database on your development-system.

you don't want to access prod for development-tests!!

idk. make a dump of prod every now & then - if prod-data is not sensitive -, or generate sufficient test-data, etc...

My first car, in the early 00s mind you, was a 1989 Camry Wagon and boy did I sure love that thing. Great utilitarian car that could fit friends, got great gas mileage, and basically required no upkeep.

I now drive a 2000 4Runner that has actually gone up in value from when I bought it 12ish years ago. I’ve had two people in the last two years drive by randomly and ask if I was selling.

Then you need to add a way for users to alter the trusted keys. Make it require physical access.

If someone has physical access they could always throw a wrench into it.

The whole idea of allowing alternate firmware is that it shouldn't need the original keys.

By the time the PoS migration occurs, those GPUs will not be cost effective to run. Better to just buy cheap, newer, power efficient GPUs
They're even reliable in the way they break down. Parts are cheap worldwide, every mechanic ever can work with them, and the service life of components seems to be staggered such that you only get a couple of issues a year even on a 20 year old model like mine. If you think all is lost at 500,000km, just buy a new engine for like $1000 and sail away in your little Ship of Theseus that refuses to die. The purchase price is so low and the maintenance so consistent it's like you're renting it.

If you are struggling to build your self-worth through a car or think you need to spend $50k to get that, try fixing an old Camry yourself for dirt cheap, and then see how you feel. No need to fight for right-to-repair laws either, just buy a part anywhere and clean or replace it according to the manual, which is just a 1000 page PDF on the internet of every possible repair. (Although my next car will be electric, because of climate change. Sorry Camry.)
Something a bit similar is experiments that use only one, ad hoc, animal disease model.

For me it looks too easy to have a successful experiment (and article) if you can choose how you poison the animal.

I have always wondered why they did not use a commercial model, and better tested their hypothesis on several, unrelated animal models.

> But that could be tackled the same way they've blocked all the other fingerprinting methods (fuzzing, threat of blocking, etc.)

The reason browsers implement convoluted AI-based systems for things like rejecting cookies is that browser makers can't risk the regulatory fallout of blocking without a consistently enforced and static business policy.

Not implementing a feature at all is a great way to avoid getting in a conflict, such as a lawsuit in some international jurisdiction over whether blocking a particular use of bluetooth is anticompetitive.

Thats ignoring that some of the most harmful forms abuse come from those who are willing to register hundreds of throwaway domains to avoid static block lists. Block lists are based on location and not on legal entity.

When I removed comprehensive coverage, the lady from the insurance company audibly said "wow" before telling me my new yearly rate. It dropped quite a bit. Over 50% decrease IIRC.
I've got a toddler and already work 4 days week (Friday off). Daycare is 5 days a week, so it's great to have Fridays free to work on my side projects, read, go on small hikes - and when my wife is free - we take long lunches together etc.

As long as daycare / schooling remains 5 days a week, I think 4 days a week of work for parents is a fantastic idea.
> I like how you say that you're no Apple fanboy but proceed with an absolutely content free praise post about how godly Apple is. You didn't even bother to mention a single feature of the update :D

Everything I mentioned... is from the update and other stuff from the link.

Seeing the massive amount of updates that actually seem like huge wins for consumers is what triggered the thought I typed out.

We're on HN to talk about interesting angles/takes, and if you've noticed I hid at least two in my post, which is why I thought it was worth posting:

- PMs at Google should really be worried right now

- Apple needs to be broken up

> The best thing is: you're the top comment atm while the features mentioned in other comments (those which acutally mention features) are hilarious: tab weather to get past weather, mark comments as unread and for whatever reason: pair your phone to your laptop camera.

The rest of that is classic HN -- users here are so technical (and usually have long standing grievances/wants) that they are interested in very specific feature sets and less fazed by the rest (especially if unlike me they are already Apple devotees).

> I guess I keep on not watching the presentation and wait how this thread develops. It's a fantastic advertising implosion.

It's advertising, but it's also a shot across the bow (again, why I made my comment). Apple barely needs to advertise intentionally/drum up a buzz storm, and especially here on HN. Apple is one of the most valuable companies in the world, WWDC touches the lives of many successful developers (they mentioned 33MM devs in the apple program, that is insane), it is naturally of importance to much of HN.

The company, what it stands for, and it's history are all deeply embedded in the minds of technologists the world over.

Again, I really am not a Apple fanboy (nor some Apple PR sockpuppet account):

- I barely talk about apple on my blog[0]

- I don't write Swift -- (it wasn't very good last time I glanced at it compared to the alternatives)

- I definitely don't like ObjC (weird bad lisp? no thank you)

- I don't develop apps natively (NativeScript for the win), I don't even have an active app developer account

- I use an SE2, but most features stay off and I buy it precisely because I do not plan to change it for the next 10 years if I can get away from it (also, RIP FirefoxOS)

I was just really impressed with their presentation, and my biggest take away were the thoughts I shared here, because they might be interesting (and Google PMs are here).

Seeing a company this dominant is kind of alarming -- you can't do the usual handwave of "oh but their product is bad". The problem is that their product is actually very good, and they seem to be the ones that care most about your privacy and align with your goals.

[EDIT] - Correction, Apple isn't the most valuable company in the world

> For whatever reason, Google decided to tell people that the same person who's building the klaxon and the concrete wall and the pipes for the power plant, and the person who's operating the power plant, are one in the same. But that's clearly bunk. Building a part and running a system are completely different disciplines, and anyone who does both will only be half good at both

Depending on the team, SREs can absolutely involved with "building the system", especially the klaxon ;) Examples include designing and implementating metrics used to make make decisions in business logic and or exposed to customers/users, writing routing components like mixers and proxies, developing data pipelines, etc. At Google many SRE teams build and run entire multi-tenant systems with no pure SWEs involved at all.

Healthy SRE teams should be spending 20% of their time on operations. On my team its actually the devs who do most of the operations work. They take the pager during business hours and we route most maintenance tickets to them.
