Luck is simply preparation and opportunity. You do need to be persistent but also self aware enough to experiment with your tactics.
No, I don't believe that the phrase “based solely” would be a fair assessment.

That there's a $1,024 bounty being awarded should be reason enough to suggest more than “10 minutes” went into this. While the issue was first reported in a tweet, you should know that it came to us from an experienced database engineer who worked on both Google Spanner and FoundationDB.

The initial triage was to compare O_DSYNC with F_FULLFSYNC on the same device, because the results should be within the same order of magnitude, relative to the same device—we already knew that APFS doesn't make the same distinction between O_SYNC vs O_DSYNC that Linux does.

"Intel has already proposed MRAM -- aka persistent memory. If I am understanding correctly, your tests would claim that MRAM backed disks would fail your tests, they would perform way too fast."

Again, I think you're missing that O_DSYNC was compared relative to the same device, with Darwin's custom F_FULLFSYNC as baseline.

Finally, to assume good faith, you can also imagine that once we had the triage in hand, the issue would have been confirmed independently as “correct” by a third party in the best position to make that assessment.
Yes... that sort of thing doesn't scale, meaning that a large percentage of the population can follow that advice and positive results.

Things like basic hygiene, getting an education, developing good work habits... those things scale, and in fact the entire society benefits when everyone is doing that.

But the vast majority of people will not "build a brand" of any note. And in fact that can't happen, unless the attention economy drastically changes. (Meaning that now everyone can have 10K robot followers on Twitter, and that is somehow useful... I don't know, it doesn't make sense to me.)

In general, it seems this article redefines what luck is at the higher levels, and conflates "luck" with "power" (social, political, economic, etc.).

Or for that matter, how often in your career has the problem been an example problem that people use to showcase basic examples of their programming language.

Prime sieve is almost definitely in the top 10 of most written and published programs ever.

Interestingly enough at the end of the video he asks the AI to write some code that makes money. And it responds with "maybe try investing or not spending money". This is much more in line with the type of questions I get asked in my career and somehow I doubt I would still be working if I had answered the same way seriously.

Honestly, At this point, KDE is just as light as XFCE and Gnome is pretty low too. From my testing, minimal KDE on Arch or Gentoo install pulls it ~450-500mb at boot, Manjaro and Suse around 550-600mb.

Fresh Gnome on Arch or Gentoo I've seen ~650 at boot and around 750 with Ubuntu, around 650-700 with Fedora.

Gnome's Wayland implementation is much better then KDE at this moment, but KDE is quickly catching up. Nvidia still lacks, even with their EGL support. I use a Nvidia 1060 6gb on an updated (KDE 5.24), but several year old Manjaro KDE install with XOrg as a daily driver, and it's very smooth for me. Games work great. Maybe some occasional stuttering on my monitors that are 144 and 60hz (xorg limitation).

Gnome's gestures and by far and away better then KDE's too (at least as of 5.24, but 5.25 adds many more).

I really don't like how many people talk about "luck". They are not really talking about the concept, they are using the "luck" word as la language figure of something else, and that's misleading to the reader's intelligence (writers that do that are like making the reader's imagination go drunk instead of leaving it more richly nurtured).

The categories the author is talking about are more about the creation of positive selected opportunities.

If you invest your efforts in maximizing the possibilities that good things stop being impossible to happen, then (due to Murphy's Law) they just might, and if you're there and catch them, most people will call that "luck".
That's not what I said though, is it? Not much point attacking a straw man argument. If Scotland voted to leave the UK, it'd almost certainly need to go through the normal accession process. That's unlikely to happen until Scotland had formally left. Even if the EU agreed to start negotiating immediately after the vote, it's still questionable whether it'd be complete by the time that it left the UK.

I don't disagree that it has the things you've listed. The question is - why would a company choose Scotland over Ireland - or even any of the Nordics - when it'll be have political risk for years after independence. Pretty much the only thing unifying the SNP at the moment is independence - post-independence you'd likely see a split into multiple parties.

I got a blank page...did crypto prices drop that much today?
Sorry.

I misread the "downward trend" part as pertaining to the economics of the country as a whole, not the oil and gas sector as you clearly stated.
This, so much.

I've had to fire people a few times. It's never fun, it's always been a hard decision that I took for the benefit of my team. It's never "bullshit". If it is bullshit then it would be MY job as manager to fix it and stop it being bullshit.

I've never had a negative reaction to the firing from the team members who remain. If anything, the reaction has always been "why did you wait so long?".

But luckily I've never had to do a team downsizing because of budget cuts. I imagine that would be a more difficult process and managing the emotions involved in that would be difficult. I see entirely why Coinbase chose not to take any of those risks and just cut everyone off first and then answer questions later.
I suppose that they could have something like the "some asshole" initiative[0], where they can report that a thing happened, and provide historical perspective and statistical analysis, but without identifying who carried out the attack, or what their motives were, or even who the victim(s) were other than "a fortune 500 CEO", or "a regional business owner".

They wouldn't be hiding any information. They'd still be reporting that the thing happened. A record of who died is still going to be available in the obituaries, or public FAA reports. The media just don't have to publicise the specific details that tend to inspire copycats.

...but they'd get fewer clicks/views, so it'll never happen :-(

Yeah, absolutely. Overly spending time on how difficult it is for yourself makes it sound like, "Well, I'm firing you, but have you considered how it makes me feel?" Which is gross.

Hence, usually going for a somewhat impersonal affect.
In full agreement here. Crypto will really crash when people who have money invested in crypto really need that money.

The past few "crashes" were just emotion driven, but for the most part people had plenty of money on hand (at least the current cohorts invested in crypto). This time we have a lot more everyday people invested and they have much smaller buffers to handle financial crisis.

They're going to want to get their money out of crypto, not because they're nervous about the price, but because they have other bills to pay. My guess is that will lead to the ultimate crash of crypto where it will return to a hobbyist activity for a few curious technical people.
So, here's the lesson that I learned when I was about 23 years old.

At the time, I had a CIS degree and had been programming for about 5 years, mostly Java, Perl and PHP (early 2000s).

I knew PHP really well. Used it professionally, used it in my hobbies. There was something I was trying to figure out how to do and I couldn't find a clear answer for it online anywhere so I finally ended up buying a book that had references too it. Big 600 page Wrox book I think.

Well, I opened up the book and found the answer I was looking for. Then I noticed something on the next page that I didn't realize you could do and would have made my life soooo much easier if I'd known about it earlier.

After that I sat down and read the book cover to cover despite having been working with PHP for 5 years at that point and I learned so much. Really leveled me up.

Now, anytime I want to learn anything I go straight for a book so that I can get a comprehensive picture of all of the available tools and how they work together, from an expert. Makes everything afterwards a lot easier.
I'd argue PIP is meant to give you a chance to find another job.

For legal reasons most employers will only verify dates of employment. 2 months of so of PIP is more than enough to find a new role.

This is another reason to not get too attached to any job. I come to work for money, not to feel apart of something.

You WILL get fired if your in this industry. Hell, I've quit several jobs since the manager sucked.

Demanding salary employees work nights regularly is good way to get em to quit.

Imagine if America had a NHS style system, vs the horrific employer provided system. Then more people would be free to quit bad jobs.

Let's say you have an abusive manager, but your husband has an expensive to treat illness. You just need to suffer since if you leave your husband won't have access to treatment
I assume engineers will be part of these layoffs. Won't that mean there's a huge loss of knowledge if they're cutting their access right away?

Even 2 weeks of notice often isn't enough for people to finish knowledge transfers.
It's quite common in the UK for an employee to work their notice period after redundancy has been announced / consultation has been concluded (e.g. to allow for a handover of the role to respective teams).

Garden leave is not a necessity (particularly if you have structured your company so a single employee cannot go too rogue regardless - if a single bad-apple employee can take down coinbase then they have bigger systemic risks!).
That's a fan theory I've heard based on both shows trying to keep the space action mostly realistic.
I’d argue working properly includes appropriate consequences for negative externalities which by definition is impossible in an unregulated market. If you make it free to pollute you get a lot of pollution and that’s much worse for people than a $1/unit increase in the cost of some things.
same thing than asking for the moon.

Instead, EU should ask big tech to address the noscript/basic (x)html support of tons, if not all, of big tech services.

> 7-eleven gift cards, should we ban those too?

Yes, actually.

While a complete gift card ban is possibly not necessary, I do think there is a strong need to place legal limitations on their use and transferability to reduce or eliminate the degree to which they enable scammers.

Stores have done a little bit to try to combat this at the point of sale but it isn't nearly enough.

On the telephone side, I think we need to start holding phone companies liable if a spoofed number was used in a scam. It is ridiculous that they still haven't been able to solve that issue after years of effort and legistlation.

Ratings as Incentives – By Kent Beck – Geek Incentives
Mickleson must be under a lot of stress, in the video his eyes are yellowish and he looks very sweaty.
"In practice, your rating in this system is not a rating of your work performance, it is a rating of your manager’s storytelling in these calibration meetings." -- Kent Beck will get you to think about how you run Feedback (or Performance) Reviews today and the incentive structure people have to do the right things. Incentives design is a tough problem, so you shouldn't seek easy or quick solutions.
I agree wholeheartedly, it's definitely not the right moment to make it about you. I have had to layoff people several times, and was laid off myself once, and the best thing to do in my opinion is to be direct succinct and stick to a script. You can still be authentic and kind, and offer them an opportunity to reach out (to you or HR) afterwards for follow up questions (about the process, not the reasons or anything sensitive). You will feel like shit doing it, and they'll be able to tell, there's no need to say it and pull the attention towards your gainfully-employed feelings at the same moment you're telling someone they're losing their financial security blanket.

I've reached out to some afterwards and offered help (serving as a reference, reviewing resumes, connecting to people, etc.) but in _that_ moment you should say as little as possible give them space to process emotions however they will.
1) Unconscious incompetence

The individual does not understand or know how to do something and does not necessarily recognize the deficit. They may deny the usefulness of the skill. The individual must recognize their own incompetence, and the value of the new skill, before moving on to the next stage. The length of time an individual spends in this stage depends on the strength of the stimulus to learn.

2) Conscious incompetence

Though the individual does not understand or know how to do something, they recognize the deficit, as well as the value of a new skill in addressing the deficit. The making of mistakes can be integral to the learning process at this stage.

3) Conscious competence

The individual understands or knows how to do something. However, demonstrating the skill or knowledge requires concentration. It may be broken down into steps, and there is heavy conscious involvement in executing the new skill.

4) Unconscious competence

The individual has had so much practice with a skill that it has become "second nature" and can be performed easily. As a result, the skill can be performed while executing another task. The individual may be able to teach it to others, depending upon how and when it was learned.

Congratulations, you have reached stage 2. This is exactly where you need to be. Don't stress it - you will find a job and you will have a hard time at first, but this job isn't meant to be easy.

Full size fridge and freezer from 2015, forced ventilation fan (which is probably around 35-60w), one server (a repurposed office computer) and 2 WiFI hotspots, one of those Google speakers, a router (USG) and a PoE switch. Those are the big ones.

We didn't build the house, so there are all kinds of standby stuff (including needing smart lights for most lights, stove, towel heaters).

I didn't turn these things off because my mother in law is using the apartment a little while we are gone.

This has nothing at all to do with cryptocurrency. The guy got conned by an old fashioned con man over the phone, who may have used the words “cryptocurrency” once or twice.

Articles like these always seem to come from people that already have good luck.

As there is a high level of survivorship bias from these people, I'd prefer an article from someone who has actually changed their luck. Perhaps an article detailing how someone got ahead despite a run of ill timed bad luck.
And all this js makes it really slow too. Maybe the paid plans are faster, but the free hosting for open source is sluggish.
I have had lots of employees who I think had poor performance but weren't bad people and I don't like the thought that they're in bad financial situation or just feeling emotional distress over being fired. Every manager I've known has felt terrible while firing people.

That doesn't mean the firing shouldn't happen, but it does mean that everyone feels bad.
> making Firefox the most private and secure major browser available across Windows and Mac.

Which one do they think is the most private and secure browser for Linux?
Well, Chrome obviously does if you’re ‘signed in’ to Google and haven’t turned off their sync settings… which I imagine is the most common end user path, and chrome is the most popular browser.

Sounds awesome! Punish the people benefitting most from the fraud (the actual fraudsters as opposed to the people being paid a commission to advertise) and provide an incentive for them to police their ad agencies and influencers to not let it happen in the future!

Crypto companies are absolutely securities companies, so it’s just a a matter of time until the hammer comes down. I’m often cynical about the ability of government to crack down on businesses, but in this case it really feels like a lot of crypto folks are miles out over their skis in terms of the kinds of “mind games” they think they can play on the justice system.
Being worthy doesn't really have anything to do with whether something survives the test of time. That's a different, subjective, argument.
The way these scams work is they use celebrity names and images without permission. Completely different from the Matt Damon case and similar cases, where the celebrity is actually involved.

I've been following Firefox Relay features for a bit now. Is there a difference between the service offered by Firefox Relay premium to the free DuckDuckGo Email Protection?

Do you believe DDG will also eventually move to the subscription model for these features (unlimited aliases, reply to sender)?
Yeah. There's a difference between "This language isn't being internally consistent" and "Due to my experience using language X, I find this confusing". As you say, this is well documented behavior, albeit perhaps unexpected to a novice R user.
Unless filtering algorithms are transparent, can be configured by users and errs towards allowing speech that is acceptable globally instead of just in Silicon Valley, then it just incites feelings of biased censorship.

In most professions if you don't follow best practices to this degree, you are lucky to just be fired.
Exactly, but you can open yourself to opportunities for positive outcomes. Example: ten fishing poles in the water versus one. Just about any event has a certain probability of occurring; although, it's often chocked up to "luck". You can model fishing expeditions at some place in the lake and have a general idea of what can happen; although, there will be outliers. Now--apply that to gaining traction on social media. Someone that posts 1,000 videos has a much higher chance of going viral than someone who posts one; however, quality, specificity of content (broad reach, etc) will dictate a lot of the outcome. All this said, once the inertia is established, the author's definition of "attracting luck" does apply (people come to you with opportunities). I think the problem here is calling it "luck" when it's really something different (creating opportunities for success).
