I grew up in a more rural area and we always played in a old stonequarry in the woods. I went back there a few years ago and was quite shocked how high that was. I dont think our parents were aware of that. Well - we all survived (not without some injuries to teach us a lesson).
I disagree strongly. Most people, if they're told their work is "rubbish", or trash, or garbage, or just bad, will react defensively and attempt to justify themselves and validate their work. "I was under time pressure", "It's not that bad",
or "What do you know?" would be likely responses. A witty comment, sarcasm, or a joke are still deflections, and wouldn't cause the same outcome, because all of these responses persist the narrative of "me vs. you". The response here, acknowledging that the criticism is valid even though it wasn't diplomatic, is the key to achieving a good outcome. It reframes the discussion from antagonistic to cooperative.

It's also not a precooked tactic. One of the points of the article is that this kind of reaction isn't really teachable or learnable - some people have it and most people don't. The article strives to find the heart of the interaction and others like it to find ways to make it learnable, but it acknowledges that it doesn't achieve that.

It's weird that you're agreeing the article is bad when it's making the same fundamental point you are - good leadership isn't about canned approaches and there are no winning formulas, and someone's background has little bearing on their true leadership abilities.
I wonder what will happen with websites that use payments integration like PayPal or Stripe.
> meanwhile Amazon generates petabytes of incredibled detailed and realtime sales data

The problem is that you can't use Amazon's sales data to answer research questions about maternity leave policies, UBI, or the criminal justice system. All of that data is great but it benefits a relatively small part of social science.
Sri Lankan prime minister says that the nation's economy has collapsed
I'm finding remarkably little discussion of this in other major news sites.

The YouTube channel PolyMatter did however run an excellent explainer a few weeks ago, providing more details, including of debt, foreign exchange rates, balance of trade, the links between food shortages and political instability, and other emperiled economies, notably Pakistan.

> I might care about the reliability, quality, extendability, readability and performance of the code I wrote.

This is a brilliant definition of professional ethos.

A further poster asks if companies pay for this. I understand that "do I get paid for it" is the question of the age, but I see that as a reflection of one of the evils of the age (every age has evils and goods).

The money you get paid is a means to an end, not an end. I feel better about myself knowing I have lived up to my standard, money cannot compensate for that.

Money gets you the respect of people who don't know you. Professionalism gets you the respect of the people who do, including the person who knows you best, yourself.
There seems to be a difference between "B2C" stuff like ad tech and tracking and "B2B" like AWS. The latter seems to be more eager to be compliant, I assume only to prevent local / regional competitors to fill a gap but still. Plus all the nice public contracts to be had.
I'd make the distinction that you're describing great managers, not great leaders.

> do they care?

Do you mean really care or just be good at pretending? The first thing I learned when I started working is the importance of not caring.

Caring can cause innner-team conflicts and burn out. Yes, you need to appear motivated but caring too much will just make you annoying.

Also this is more about the power of influence I get over a project. If I get real ownership and the power and tools to make decisions, yeah I am going to care, if not, not, just no. I am not wasting mental energy on things I can't change.

I will pretend to care about anything you want me to care though, if the pay is right.
Customer support can definitely be handled or “minimized” by what I’d call “extreme thoughtfulness”. Design your application with the correct abstractions, be ready to redesign everything from the ground up every two years as requirements change, and constantly try to create tooling that will help customers and CSMs serve as much as possible themselves.
Not an expert on GDPR but can't imagine privacy strict EU agreeing to this.

US shutting down visa waiver for EU would be dumb as the Consulates are already swamped and absolutely cannot handle that level of B1/B2 visa applications (the wait times are already 1 year+ around the world).

This would hurt US travel and tourism.

Europeans aren't going to riot if they lose visa waiver to US.

So American business suffers, EU looks strong standing up for privacy against the bully, and EU can still offer visa waiver to inbound Americans. Call their bluff.
Which browsers support these?
I kinda noticed this myself. As a young child, I had perfect vision. Apparently sometime by middle school my vision started declining. But, I really didn't know it. I mean, I could generally read the blackboard, all good right? But everything was so...drab.

Finally saw an eye doc and caved on getting glasses. Wow what a difference. The first thing I noticed was that I could see blades of grass, and leaves on trees, and hairs on squirrels. They're not just green or brown blobs afterall. And people...they looked so different. Some better, some worse. I could see hairs, and wrinkles, and subtle visual cues I'd been missing. I must have spent 2 weeks just amazed at the world I'd been missing out on.

So while not clinically depressed or anything, I can confidently say the world is more depressing when it's blurry.
That is lame counterargument from lazy and ignorant citizenry.

Democratically accountable legislature is still democratically accountable legislature when the citizens pay attention or participate or not. People are supposed to work their ass off in democracy when they fight for political power. Instead they treat it as a opinion contest that should have options they like.
> Russia can wage wars on natural resource selling alone, it only needs to keep the gas and oil flowing through the infrastructure.

With sanctions it can't.

> So if Yandex leaves the scene, the only game in town would be state-owned. This only reinforces the evil regime.

It doesn't. Nationalization of companies rarely works well. Even then they can be hurt, made unprofitable, forcing the evil regime to divert resources.

> In a huge decentralized company I don't know how one could even pull that off.

A lot of things are not that decentralized. GitHub/GitLab is actually central, just delete it. Dev machines can be wiped out remotely. Private keys, certs, credentials are stored somewhere more or less centrally. Delete the user data on the servers.

You can make a lot of damage. It might not be perfect, somewhere git clones might survive, but it will cause a major outage/data loss.

> And the moment you try that, the government swoops in and goodbye the company.

You overestimate the ability of state to react quickly enough. If you plan ahead, this can be pulled off in short time.

> That is essentially the same as killing the company

So what? You're somehow attached to keeping the company afloat. It has no value compared to hundreds of people being killed daily in the war as we speak.
Crawling too fast from the same IP addy can get that IP blocked. Per 10 mins prob ok, per 1 minute may be too much depending on the volume being downloaded and the sensitivity (you mention saleable stuff in another comment so this might well make a difference). FYI. I did a reasonable amount of scraping myself.

(err, crawling = scraping? or maybe they different things)

Edit: tidy + clarify
Assuming any of that actually helps to grow revenue, or that it is the only way to find out what your users want. Plus, GDPR isn't making tracking illegal in general, it is just heavily regulating it. If it was just properly enforced, the internet would be a much nicer place...

Side note, I'm slowly getting tired of people ignoring regulations and compliance simply out of laziness.
There’s no single answer, not even a thousand answers to your question.

Any dynamic system as complex as a business (let alone economy) is by its nature unpredictable.

Posteriori it’s easy to find correlations and pretend to be a smart ass about it.

But you fundamentally cannot predict anything substantial beforehand.

Taleb has explained it in his books, btw.
Ask HN: What tone to use in code review suggestions?
When writing suggestions in code reviews I have used all of these forms:

* Should we extract this to a separate function?

* Could you extract this to a separate function?

* I would extract this to a separate function.

* This could be extracted to a separate function.

* This should be extracted to a separate function.

* Extract this to a separate function.

As you can see, these have very different tones and I would like to be more consistent and as constructive as possible. Is there some general best practice for this? Are you or your team using a set of rules or guidelines?
I love this!

I've achieved something very similar, but for Python[1].

I believe this approach will become the dominant paradigm in the future, precisely because of what of what you can't see - no API and no client/server separation - eliminates a whole bunch of accidental complexity.

My first startup a decade ago used a similar approach to build a exploratory visual analytics environment - lisps rock at this.

It's neat that Hyperfiddle subsumes data access, too. I have a similar compiler-driven approach that will ship later this year for desktop/mobile apps.

I don't see there anything really dangerous, sure those bars in first two photos could be lower, but if you can't handle the height you will be anyway probably too afraid to climb there.

After all most of the work injuries during fall happen from height ~1.5m when your body don't have enough time to rotate and you will just hit your head, so bigger height can be actually beneficial for safety.

Here in Czechia closest playground to my house has rubberized ground and bars (dinosaur backbone) for climbing on them at roughly 3m height, don't think it would really make much difference if they were 1-1.5m higher, if someone falls down from that height on head it can be pretty dangerous already from current height. In the end my kids are climbing on trees in park nearby in bigger height than in playground.

I grew up as kid in 80/90s mostly just with metal constructions playgrounds and my most serious childhood injury was when I took down matress down from bed and had great idea to jump from matress to wooden surface to break my skull, so much for dangerous playgrounds.

Btw. there is still fairly dangerous (longest) slide in Parukarka park in Prague I ocassionally try, it's pretty long and fast and you just need to stay there short time to see kid flying off, if it's cleaned from rubber left from shoes, happened to me, happened to FIL visiting, seems kids with lower weight don't go that fast usually as adults. So you can still find fun rides even nowadays.

Probably no where permanent. They’ll have to move to the locations that fit their current needs much as I and many other economic migrants.

If they do not have the resources to make the move, I have complete empathy for them and am willing to vote for politicians who will allocate my tax dollars towards helping those people out of their current issue.

If, however, they refuse to move because of some non economic reason then that is a lifestyle choice they will have to shoulder the burden of. If one of my representative politicians tries to use my tax dollars to help them continue their untenable lifestyle choices I will vote for their competitor.

> Midwest river flooding, hurricanes all through the gulf coast, rising sea levels, tornadoes, New York was flooded from a hurricane, and Texas was pretty ravaged by some cold weather recently

Don’t include Texas in that. The other groups have had weather systems of increasing severity that are massively expensive to build against. Texas had weather they declared was unforseeable when they had hit the temperature multiple times in the previous 20-30 years and refused to spend a relatively small amount of money to winterize their generators and mitigate the problem.
You sound knowledgeable about this: I personally find that even when I’m having trouble controlling caloric intake as well as I’d like that sharp reductions in simple carbohydrates and sugars seem to help with weight loss even if my envelope math seems to indicate comparable total calories?

Is this just bad measurement or is there anything to that?

I recommend reading the declassified field manuals: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Army_and_CIA_interrogat...

When I went to interrogation school for the army, the first half of the class is based entirely on those. The second half is classified. If you are under 31 and reasonably smart, highly recommend getting a two year Army contract and going through the training. Even if you are not a US citizen, you can still do it by going through your local embassy IIRC.

The first half of the class is really hard and if you wash out, you can end up being a cook. So, it’s not for the faint of heart…

Beyond that, we had a book list. There’s one that stands out in my memory, but I don’t remember the name of it or the author. The book was written by a German defector in WWII or Cold War that explores how interrogation is more successful using certain approaches and which modern interrogation is built on. It explores building a spy network in the second half, in a foreign country, etc as well.

If I can remember the name of the book, I’ll comment or update here. Sadly, I know exactly where this book list is, but it’s literally an ocean away in a storage unit.

All those skills come in quite handy in the real world to build rapport with people and build up an information network inside your workplace so you have a good idea of what is going on around the company. You can also get those same skills by reading sales self-help books, they just use a different vocabulary and don’t talk about the “dark side” (making people angry, sad, guilt trips, gas lighting, etc) while interrogation makes use of them in some cases.
Prompt engineering - now that's a great euphemism for cheating.
That sentence was much more confusing to me than it should have because "wetter" in German means weather.
Thought it was interesting.
I was referring to the extension in 1976 from 28 to 50 years, and the subsequent extension in 1998 to 70 years, which everybody agreed upon that both were on Disney's request (hence its name "Micky-Maus-Schutzgesetz"). Other lobbying partners were the George Gershwin heirs and the Movie Industry (Jack Valenti).

Here you see the countries which did not extend it the 2nd time to 70 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries%27_copyright...

There was of course no widespread support for these extensions, as all its arguments were flawed and not only violated logic but also several constitutions.

> The imprisonment and terrorization of thousands of innocent civilians just because of their skin color and race... please dont go along with the attempt at calling these things just "internment camps"

What do you think internment camps usually are? “Concentration camp” would be accurate, though it's problematic because the use of that as a euphemism for the Nazi extermination camps tends to get people to view it as misuse when it is used in its original and literal sense.

I usually apply to customer support/success role. My strategy to build a solid customer support system -

- Always incorporate gifs with documentation and guidelines

- Create video and step by step tutorials unconditionally

- Convert every customer interaction to an FAQ segment or a microblog

- Avoid writing books as documentation blogs. Adopt w3school like writing habits.

- Post your FAQs to stackoverflow. Two dummy accounts. One to post the questions, one to answer the question

- Add every meta information and phrasing variations possible to commonly asked questions

- Support/success staff should also be a part of the dev team so they can understand the product philoshophy and not just be a liaison of the dev.

TLDR: Make customer interaction as google-able as you can.
> I agree with you and they have a right to do this; issue is; they will lose a lot of members because of this because they were so lax. That’s why it’s is common to think; it is easier to start high and discount than start low and increase your prices. People don’t like change and will just leave.

I think they will gain a lot of members that way too, since people get used and attached to a service and now need their own accounts.
I suspect that support costs are actually sub-linear, as you scale you don't just add support staff, you start putting in extra stages to redirect support - better documentation, UX designers, community support. Support requests are a mix of unique challenges and common challenges, the common challenges can always be pushed towards a fixed support cost.

My take: By only allowing WebKit, Apple keeps its walled garden. It simply allows only Apple code in its platform.

Apple Apps are build on top of Apple's ecosystem and the same goes for Web Apps: build on top of Apple's WebKit.
This is actually not such a bad idea for liquid inks. Terrible idea for toner though.

Those liquid cartridges are always drying up essentially causing you to throw away money you spent. For this type of cartridge getting the cartridge replaced frequently puts the burden on them and saves you money if you don't print much.

For toner it makes more sense to just buy the cartridge and hold on to it.
> I honestly don't think it's the playground design, it's the parents.

I don't think that it's the parents. I believe it's entirely the playground design, the laws, and the mentality of finding someone responsible.

The parents would be fine if some kids broke bones, get disabled or die, it's a fair trade-off for better playgrounds. But the hands of the playground designers are tied.
> but I think the more interesting question is whether they truly are content.

That's a big rabbit hole right there. Ancient wisdom says that there's nothing in the material world which can give you true happiness/contentment/satisfaction. The world is transient and so is the happiness you get from it. Moksha/Nirvana/Samadhi is the only way to become truly happy, forever.

Protip on separating your models etc out: use modules instead of apps. so instead of a models.py have a models folder with a structure like this

- models
cheese.py
spam.py
__init__.py

You can then put all your cheese related models in cheese.py, and all your spam related models in spam.py. Then Simply import those models from __init__.py and django is none the wiser that anything changes. Tada: organized models without having to dive into the broken mess that is apps.

The same trick of course applies to any python file you want to split up. Views, urls, managers, etc etc.

Chinese and American police forces both operate abroad and like to flex their power. The NYPD was in a similar situation post 9/11 when they started trying to police nearby states and when they sent operatives to other countries even against their own federal government [1].

Russias also sent operatives overseas in some fairly public assassinations. It’s not really surprising that China does this, it appears to be the default operating procedure of powerful countries
