> Sweet. Given by whom

Directly, the answer is the permissions system. In my neck of the woods, devs are quite literally incapable of pushing things to production on their own. The automated tooling handles it 99% of the time, but in the case that they turn it off, only the SREs have production access necessary to actually push new things.

But I think you're speaking organizationally, and the answer there is that that agreement was made by SVPs and is enforced by the PRR process. When you adopt SRE support, you hand over the keys, so to speak.

> Fantastic. Why can she say & enforce this.

Because there's nothing Bob can do except escalate, and SRE leadership will support Alice all the way up to the SVP level.

> To be clear my thesis is that success in both operating models is built on a combination of top down incentive/buy in and broad consensus expressed as a cultural norm.

My point is that the process creates the cultural norm, and enforces everywhere. That is, your org might have these good processes, and that's laudable. But if Andy turned around tomorrow and said "hey, this year your first priority needs to be shipping new features, because we're falling behind", would your org maintain that commitment? Would every exec? The same question goes for every exec speaking to their subordinates.

Its much more difficult to turn to the guy whose job is reliability and reports directly to the CEO and say "hey, your focus this year is shipping features". Like maybe you could say "your focus is shipping features reliably this year", and that should take the focus off of some other things that the SRE org is involved in, but I'm not convinced.

Or briefly, your approach is betting on there being a cohesive company culture of reliability that permeates every team, org, and manager. We both know that's not true, at Amazon or Google or any other company. They're all big enough to have different cultures in different parts. A distinct org and reporting structure, and split responsibilities, ensures that leadership has to be really explicit about such things ("lower your SLOs"), instead of just quietly deprioritizing enforcing or reporting on them. (And I'm generally a fan of multiple individuals with well scoped and distinct responsibility who are charged with reaching consensus over a single individual who makes a decision).

By people who don't just ignore several thousand years of how various "not too dysfunctional" societies ran themselves for a few quick ideological virtue points.

Much of the shitting on "progressivism" is misguided. There's just as much progressivism and liberal ideology on the other coast and they don't have the same dysfunctionality and failings to nearly the same extents. These kinds of clowns are everywhere but at the end of the day it's the California public who is responsible for electing them and tolerating their poor job performance.

The ACLU is the American Civil Liberties Union, not the American Free Speech Union. It's consistent with their mission to decide to for example defend the right for trans people to get appropriate medical care, and decide not to defend the right for people to say transphobic things.

If an organization like FIRE wants to defend the one particular right of free speech to the exclusion of all others, that's more complementary than antagonistic to the ACLU's mission. Or at least it should be.
Not even that. They take an already existing concept (Brain drain) and decide to tell the world in multiple paragraphs about why we should use the new term Talent Cooling instead.

Managers who don't understand math is a huge limiting factor that has a tendency to infiltrate companies over time.

When you look at the most successful startups of the last 50 years or so, it seems to me that most of them were founded by people with a strong STEM background (and math talent), even if several dropped out before finishing college.

On average, I think these founders had at least a quite strong pre-graduate level understanding of math, if not more. I believe that level is roughly the minimum required to lead a team of highly educated tech workers.
Oh, ok, I understand.

I agree that the empirical technique could be better, but the experiment is neat even if slightly flawed.

If the author wanted to show how much memory allocation could be done in an audio thread, they should construct an audio workload where they can tune the allocation and memory access patterns and then determine exactly how much is too much. But really that was the motivation, then as they admit in the start, they got nerd sniped and started measuring DOOM memory allocations (also fun). We should ignore the original motivation unless one uses a completely different experiment to justify something that wasn't tested.

I'm not saying it is using a low amount of memory, but I just fired up a new Clojure repl and it seems to end up using 90MiB memory once up and running. Is that what you'd call "insane amounts of memory"?

Maybe spending too much time in JavaScript-land has jaded my view of memory consumption.

Because USB has always been, "if it fits, it works (possibly with a driver)". Maybe not explicitly, but it was widely understood to be that. USB-C, OTOH, with all its modes and whatnot, make it so I can't tell what my device supports, and a driver installer won't fix it.

Basically, things that require extra ICs are now being shoved into "one connector for all" thing with no way of telling them apart.
Gary Vaynerchuk (GaryVee) wrote Crush It and is pretty synonomous with hustle culture. He loves the grind and promotes that as the way to move up in the world, if people so choose.

I guess people get upset when someone on the internet (that they could easily ignore, just as you have) tells them to work harder.

He's also loves promoting arbitrage plays... so I kind of blame him for the insane secondhand markets on a ton of normal stuff. Everyone is buying up all the stock and trying to flip it for a profit so they can be like GaryVee at garage sales. This does bother me. I went to go buy a new pair of shoes I bought 3 years ago for $90, but no one has them. I looked on eBay and they are going for $600. That's madness. It's not just Gary's fault though, it's the companies that opt for "drops" and hype over scale and actually meeting demand. But that's a whole differnet rabbit hole.

Both people have a lot of fans, but also get a lot of hate from a particular demogrpahic. I assume the majority is indiffernet.

I suspect the pilots and ground crew save their energy to fight about the things they are likely to say over a radio and let the engineers do whatever they want with the rest.

Unstart is a lot less evocative than “flameout” as used in the Top Gun movie. Flameout sounds like the plane is on fire. Especially if garbled.

Meanwhile, if your righter pilot sounds like he said engine start while flying? That’s only gonna happen if the engine already shut down. So that’s only ambiguous until the pilot keeps talking, in which case you know he was able to restart the engine before losing consciousness, versus the end of that conversation.
A long time ago, we bough to our daughter a SparkFun kit, similar to https://www.amazon.com/SparkFun-15257-Arduino-Mini-Starter/d... or https://www.amazon.com/SparkFun-15254-Arduino-Mini-Starter/d...

it was a kit that has a breadboard, wires, and some assorted small components like leds and resistors, and some printed cards with projects to make and how to connect the electronic components. Check that the kit you buy has them. It's more expensive that buying each part separately, but it's much easier.

We later bough her some additional leds (you never have enough leds!) and two 7 segments displays, that are nice to show numbers. (There are two methods to connect the 7 segment display, we bought the wrong one and later the correct one. They are not expensive.)

I think the kit has some photoresistor and temperature sensors. It didn't have too many, but a few are nice.

We bought it a long time ago, so to dim a led you can send a signal that is up during some short time and down during same short time. It's good enough for leds, but it's impossible to use it to play music (even crappy one note music). I'd strongly recommend to buy one that can play music. Perhaps now all the available models are good enough to play music. (Anyone has more info or can point what to check?)
I agreee. If we want to keep democracy, the kids need to learn more math and science.
You don't, but thats why we have:

1) Credit cards with transaction fees (which crypto people hate) that protect against this and have replaced the needs for checks

2) You take checks from people you trust

3) You have banks that compete with each other for storing your dollars and provide services to protect against fraud.

> It's a mix of lack of self-awareness and ideology

Respectfully disagree. The current president, who was just reelected, literally won his first campaign on "i'll improve things for business, make it easier, enable startups, optimise government expenditures". And he enacted many business-oriented reforms that have enabled quite a startup boom ( for the French and EU standards, of course it's nowhere close to the US due to a myriad of factors like available financing). There's awareness of the challenges, and what ideology would that be?
I've started seeing those signs again, but now they proudly proclaim that whatever they sprayed is "organic". (Same warnings about not getting near it, etc...)
Not a lot of discussion of what the opportunity is. Quite abstract.
At https://www.waiterio.com we are fully remote and we introduced 32 hours work weeks except for customer support which still does 40 hours a week.
We track hours with hubstaff.com which takes a random screenshot every 10 minutes.
It's been a mixed bag. Half of the team kept productivity up and logged those 32 hours stably. Another half of the team, when left unchecked went down to 14 hours a week and very low output.
I have still a lot to learn and I'm far from a great manager.
I know perfectly well I might be the reason why a part of my team is underperforming and not working while I don't watch.
I too have dreamt of giving autonomy and see the team reach great goals on their own. Those dreams seem naive now given the much harsher reality I've faced so far.
Given how all this announcement of reduce hours look more like self-advertisement rather than a justly curious trial in something new that might or might not work, I'm a bit skeptic the others are getting things done with the same budget and efficiency that I do.
What if the others have a larger budget and hiring more senior team-mates?
What if their efficiency is actually lower than mine?
What if they have already fired all the employees that were not absolute workaholics?
Frankly I'm not so confident of my ways. I'll keep hustling and crawling my way up in the mud though. At least I know I'm not sugar-coating it.
It depends also on the % of what.

Yes, probably. I would also recommend carrying the notes in an EMF protected wallet.

We have considered a feature which explicitly lets you back up the user keys from notes so that you have this as a fallback claim, but this might also encourage people to just "mine" notes in the hope that someone doesn't re-key. Given there is nothing we can do to prevent this...we might build it.
It depends on the “attack” vector you see as the most problematic.

With a “real” bank, I had to go to an agency 5 times in a row to solve a paper issue because they wouldn’t just message me about it as it was “confidential” (they couldn’t validate our home address, though we were receiving their spam pretty fine), and the system was really built around the assumption that making you come to the agency was a no-brainer. The other options evolved snail mailing copies of the papers and waiting for them to process it.

There’s also the issue of “old fashion” people sticking more with traditional banks, making them skew their offerings towards these people. I was endlessly phone spammed with insurance and bullshit travel packs, and I couldn’t just block them as it came from my actual agent.

Except when someone who can program better than you can pick that money right out of your pocket (or so called "smart" contracts.)

I identify as a hacker, and I don't think all things should be programmable. Votes should not be programmable or hackable. I'm almost certain that at certain point money shouldn't be either, given how rife the abuse can be.
First call was 45 minutes with hiring manager.

Second round was the following week, four almost-back-to-back 45-minute sessions, each with a different person. The last was hiring manager's manager.

Third round was the following week, and was that manager's manger.

Offer came after that.

Oh, this was because of a personal referral, that might have eliminated a round?

In any case, I had three "rounds" but talked to six people.
It will be clear that this money was wasted within ten years.

The one I know who actually want to use Bitcoin et al and/or work in the space (not outside "investors" who just want to earn as much money as soon as possible), don't consider the exchange rate important at all and couldn't care less about it, as Bitcoin is not for exchanging it to USD/EUR/whatever.
That is just how US law is structured though. They could just as easily say that they will reclaim the loss through recovery of your assets or by weight in blood.

https://www.bristol.gov.uk/council-tax/what-happens-if-you-d...

In the UK the process is different, which just shows that they don't have to take your house to reclaim outstanding taxes.

The point is that the government has options, if the property recovery value doesn't cover the missing taxes then I'm sure they will recover through other avenues. If you lease a car and don't pay, they can really only reclaim the car.
Well, expert witnesses that give false testimony are a lot more rare than expert witnesses that are going to go on the record for things that they know to be false.

Expert witnesses and liability are a very interesting area of the legal system. There are all kinds of variations on this theme ranging from blanket immunity to various forms of liability. Knowingly giving false testimony would likely lead to problems, especially if say a panel of experts would in turn testify that said expert should have known and could have known that what they testified was wrong.

I'm not aware of a case that went that far, but I would love to read more about such conflicts between expert witnesses on two sides of a lawsuit, usually the experts agree in broad terms on their testimony, and may differ in the details.

Maybe some who have served in such a capacity can chime in here?

Interviewing domain experts for Artificial Intelligence
The thing is that they have already done it and it paid off until it didn't. Sure, Microsoft can build an office in Mexico and train, teach, and employ some amazing workers for 25% of the cost. But then HP builds across the street for even less and hires workers from Microsoft for 50% of the cost. Then IBM, Amazon, and Dell do the same.

Now Microsoft has run a training program for IBM Amazon and Dell for the first two years and, next thing you know, you are hiring inexperienced workers with different holidays, employment regulation, time zones, and primary languages to work for the same price as the college graduate in the USA.

International workers will help keep wage costs in the USA down a little. But the talent pool for developing software is still limited. Mexico and many other countries do have some excellent universities, but companies that try to hire there are going to have to contribute to the tech sector of the host country by training and hosting entry level workers. In addition, there will be demand in those countries for the workers you are training.

Finally, if you work in finance, defense, or payments processing you can expect your off-shore, near-shore workers to be limited in what they can do. You may end up having to hire workers specifically for those contracts.

Intel acquired Altera in 2015, Altera has been producing FPGAs with ARM cores since 2011 at least (https://www.embedded.com/altera-integrates-arm-processor-in-...).

By that logic, all fiber is "dark fiber". :)

As I recall, "dark fiber" came into use after the dotcom bust left lots of overbuilt and unused network infrastructure around that companies could buy up for years after for pennies on the dollar. Buying "dark fiber" in that context had meaning - it meant you were buying already built-out and unused fiber, compared to running your own fiber lines at full cost as had previously been more common.

The first parser that one writes for a real language is a big accomplishment. I remember the one I wrote for C89 back in high school, which was more annoying than many because it requires writing a preprocessor as well. All of the theory and toy language parsers just don't compare to being able to parse a real language. It's a baptism of fire, and it feels great afterward.

In my professional career, I have written dozens of domain-specific languages for dealing with things like asynchronous protocols, complex configuration, and even safer code generators. It's a great skill to have, and it has greatly contributed to building real products that just wouldn't be possible or wouldn't be built to such exacting quality otherwise.
It's already not done by Github. Invest the time and you will be on a better path.
