> It’s not hard to implement a system which measures success.

So if I were looking to join your team and you said this it would be a huge red flag. Why? Because it's not easy or everyone would've done it already. The fact that you think it's easy really would be a cause for concern.

> For one, we ensure everyone commits and delivers ...

First sentence in and you've already added a qualitative factor. For a given task, is it "enough" to meet team expectations? This depends on how difficult it is perceived to be. Maybe there's some huge unknown unknowns. Maybe it's just really tedious and is real time gated for some reason. The standard retort is "we take that into account" but again this conflates subjective perception with objective truth.

Some people talk a very good game about how hard their job is and I've seen some very senior people skate because of this and the fact that for whatever reason they're liked (by management).

You expect 100% delivery on commitments. How is that not going to just reward under-promising? it also leads to things being half-assed. Bugs closed as "could not reproduce" or "working as intended". Features being just good enough to ship without the massive problems surfacing later. Hell, that's just another opportunity for more impact.

> Open Web Advocacy has been very clear that they want competition on iOS

And it is being pointed out, repeatedly, that the only actual real competition is Chrome. When Chrome becomes an option then websites will abandon any pretense of adhering to standards and just code to Chrome. You can't pretend the mobile browser landscape won't just end up mirroring that of the desktop.

The total browser share of iOS shifting to Chrome, even if Chrome only got 50% of iOS users, would put the total browser share of Chrome over 90%. There would be no impetus for any website to write for anything but Chrome.

I dunno I kind of class them in animals which are too close to humans somehow to be desirable to eat. Like they have personalities and long lives that just get interrupted by people deciding they'd make a great meal. A lot of species of turtles are threatened by invasive species like bullfrogs and habitat degradation as well.

You're right, it shouldn't. It's possible that they're fetching these URLs from their customers' browsing history and submitting those (external submissions follow different crawling rules, sometimes bypassing robots.txt). Bing's webmaster information says so, at least: https://www.bing.com/webmasters/help/webmasters-guidelines-3...

For a bit of added "fun", Google will do the same, but if you add a page to robots.txt and set noindex then they won't process the noindex parameter and external indexing sources might still generates search results: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/...

Review: a formal assessment or examination of something with the possibility or intention of instituting change if necessary.

None of your examples provide feedback as to why you want a change. That may be why you have been led to ask this question.

Consider:

* There is a potential overflow in this code. The library function xyz already does this and can log when the app is in debugging mode.

* This portion duplicates the same set of processes as over there. Refactor these into a single function, and we'll be good to go.

* While I don't have feedback yet on this function, it's too long for me to follow. It would be easier to read and for future maintenance if you refactor this part into a function.

* Since we're in closedown we can only take certain types of changes. If you refactor this into a separate function in the library, this change can be accepted.

* Or, I hate to be the process person, but the internal guidelines for this team call for all code to be structured the same way. Refactor this part into a separate function and I'll approve the PR.

There are lots of ways to provide feedback. I suggest stating the problem with the code and providing a solution. If that's the only possible solution to get past your review, state and don't ask. You can also give a carrot with "do this and I'll approve the merge."

How would you speak when sitting next to the person face-to-face? What tone do you want your boss to use when providing a performance review during a 1on1?

People are doing this. Brave and Edge are "Chrome flavors". See also https://servo.org/ or the npm and cargo ecosystems.

That said interfaces are incredibly hard to get right. They take an unreasonable amount of work to make and will often end up being unsuitable or obsolete leading to a world of breakage, inefficiency and pain.

What's the best way to do that? I have some insecure code that needs to run about 6x a day, and so far my best thought has been an isolated box outside my network that does the internet based fetches, translates the data and then submits them over the web to another service that verifies/checks the output.

Some EVs have lower top speeds because they don't bother with a transmission. If you wanted a high top speed, just add 1 or 2 gears and you are good to go.

Imho the infrastructure required for them will be much simpler than the existing infrastructure required to power gasoline cars. All those underground tanks with trucks delivering toxic flammable fluids are replaced with modest upgrades to the grid (it doesn't take much, as refining a tank of gasoline requires as much electricity as charging an electric car).

This transition is already well underway and many of us have been doing road trips with minimal or no pain for years already while others are still skeptical! Granted, there are still use cases that are difficult, like towing large things a long way.
I think remote work is definitely a double-edged sword. For the time being wage pressure is high but as large organizations find out that they can recruit talent that would have accepted a little bit less and done just as good of a job they will begin to lower wages for these remote positions, which will lead to people being willing to accept a little less, which will lead to lower wages, etc until an equilibrium is reached a little bit above what typical tech wages would have been remotely but well below what US tech wages are now. This will be a moderately good thing for workers outside the US, a moderately bad thing for workers inside the US, and a fantastic thing for the companies who reduced the cost of their labor pool substantially.

I feel like there is definitely a little bit of job security in staying with a place that insists on local work only, but those places will become less attached to that position as they see industry peers successfully migrate away from it.
That's my point. Hydrogen would still be terrible even without storage and moving problems.
Not in all industries or countries. This only applies to extremely weak unions. It is very difficult to hire non-uaw members for instance. There was a huge multi-month strike brining massive work stoppages a few years ago over this issue. Same with Kelloggs last year.
What I can say definitively is that having gone from not doing any infra work to using k8s and then over the past few months trying my hand at a bare-metal setup, just spinning up a Linux box and hand installing deps via apt or snap was far more enjoyable/easy to follow.

Primarily because there was very little obscurity (i.e., config files that automate away a lot of thinking or Dockerfiles/containers doing the same). It also left me feeling more confident about stability because if something isn't working, it's pretty clear what I broke/forgot. Worst "bug" I ran into was a snap server hanging when installing a dependency.
Two recommendations:

* On Writing Well

* Google's free, self-guided technical writing courses

Using these, you should get much better at refining your writing. Write naturally, then go back and edit when rereading according to the your new skills.

Another thing to get better at is layering your message. Assume that some percentage of people drop off each paragraph. Important details for the entire audience should be front and center. Then gradually get more specific.

The issue is that it's anonymous logic recreated above classes. I think it obscures the purpose, making them quite verbose. Unlike FP languages where it's central and a convenient thinking and working tool. With added bonus of currying, it's really a different feel.

Mentioned this "would want/use" idea a few days ago, but a art blog static site generator.

Despite searching high and low around the gazilions of "flat file CMSs" and "Static Site Generators", I have not found a single one that remotely caters to artists/illustrators who might want to simply post their art on an open-source, local, and truly free site with a RSS feed. No title, optional date label, nothing else around. "Image-centric" rather than text-centric if you will.

I don't have the programming chops (I'm a designer) or the time to make it, but feel like it'd be a fairly simple month project with potentially big returns.
One example: Ukraine's military has been using bitcoin to pay their suppliers. The bitcoin network is antifragile and not vulnerable to attack the way their traditional banking infrastructure has shown to be.

I agree for the most part; I have not seen the use of the walrus operator or many new features of the last two major Python releases.

Nontheless, as a user of the language I just don't see people trying to contort their code to use these things. The community has less attraction to flashy features than other languages, so I don't see people getting compelled to use things they don't care for.

That's a good point and probably a major strategic error on Apple's part.

However in the IE era, even though Netscape/Firefox was free for everyone to test on, many large companies made their sites for "IE Only" because it's easier and cheaper. What I worry about is that, even if Safari kept up with web standards and was mostly compatible in terms of the basics, sites would start requiring APIs that only Chrome wants to support (e.g. FLoC). This would give Google a lot of leverage to push its own technologies on users (Amp also comes to mind).

There can be some serious discussion there but it's first and foremost a joke subreddit. Without knowing what you're labeling delusional, there's a good chance it's meant to be taken with a sense of irony.
I also think it depends a bit on the other person and the rapport one has with them.

At least I try to remember back to when I was a junior, and how "personal" the feedback felt when I was just starting. So when reviewing for others in the same situation I make extra sure it doesn't come off the wrong way by adjusting my tone.

But for someone I've worked with for years we're often a bit shorter and to the point, and everyone's happy.

> the recipient will need to exchange it to be able use the funds

Eventually, undoubtedly.

Given the choice between non-existent traditional currency exchanges, and some sketchy guy your friend knows who will exchange your Bitcoins into iPhones or USD, Bitcoin presents a solution to a problem that isn't otherwise solved. Bitcoin, being risky and decentralised, allows for being traded in places where traditional currency exchanges will not go.

> How do you exchange something from/to bitcoin if you have no bank account

Using cash, for example.

If you've tried to buy Bitcoin from your bank account, you will have experienced that it is, due to KYC rules, often more difficult than when you exchange them for cash.

The interface between Bitcoin and existing money systems is at conflict in our society.

In societies that don't have well-functional money systems, less so.

Bitcoining the unbanked is easier than bitcoining the banked. :-)
I think setting team goals are important before anything. For example if the goal is to create the most maintainable and best version of the code in the long term I think this opens up doors for feedback not being taken personally as long as the person giving the feedback isn't dropping lines like "why didn't you just do xyz instead?".

I tend to provide more open ended questions like "what do you think about ..." where "..." could be a few options to take. In my mind I've most likely picked one based on personal preference but I like proposing a few choices to spark some discussion amongst team mates and give everyone a chance to contribute. Often times throwing out a few options will result in someone coming up with another option that only became apparent after they've seen a few alternatives (which is a good thing).

It also lets more folks make decisions and that's a very important thing. If you keep making every decision then folks won't feel like they can contribute anything because "why bother". I remember an old TNG episode (S3E21) around this with "Broccoli" when he was trying to integrate on the engineering team but Jordi kept alienating him.

I found a box turtle once, in the middle of the street in Long Beach, CA, and despite all of the Internet advice not to mess with box turtles, I didn't want it to get run over, so I brought it inside, went to the vet, and ended up keeping her for a few years until the Army was supposed to send me to Hawaii, where you're not allowed to bring reptiles. So I gave her to a family at Fort Lawton that built a huge enclosure in their back yard, and they took her to another vet to try and get an age estimate, and they guessed she was at least 70 years old. She definitely did not behave in any obviously elder manner. Same as any other box turtle I've ever met.
> We're going with the times/job market, but at the same time if I got everyone involved in Problem X in a room together it would get solved in days not weeks

Have you tried getting those people in a virtual room together?

We did a lot of getting people in a room together at my work. We changed into virtual rooms during the pandemic and they showed themselves superior in almost every way. People have decent IO devices on virtual room, as an opposition to a random laptop on the real meeting; there is no software misconfiguration stopping the work; we can do the meetings on a shorter notice (no need to travel or even book rooms); people get less tired and zoom-out less, because they are in a familiar comfortable environment, instead of shoved into an improper room without sufficient ventilation.

There is a large downside in that only one conversation line is possible for each room. That is a serious tooling drawback, but AFAIK every tool has it.
Get FF or some other browser a healthy market share first and then talk about cracking open iOS.

I agree the post was attempting to link moral concerns between AI and GDPR, but I reject the link to AI and language models in this case. I don’t think the link has been clearly established in this case, and it seems like too many assumptions were made. The poster is suggesting that AI should be held to a higher standard than Google and Bing; in effect that AI should be both smarter and more culpable than people. This is giving AI too much credit, anthropomorphizing, and also asking for an unrealistic and maybe dangerous precedent.

I’m curious to hear more about what the moral issue is from your perspective. There are legitimate privacy concerns surrounding PII and AI, and surrounding PII and the internet in general. There are legitimate concerns about ways that AI can infer non-public information. There are also legitimate concerns about humanity’s ability to record history and also about the legal and financial liabilities that might come about when recording publicly available information. Those are big general debates and are worthy of attention.

This particular case hasn’t convinced me yet, since the PII was knowingly posted, left online for some time, and since the AI is only regurgitating knowledge that Google also has.
