EU commissioners are appointed by member governments, in much the same way that civil servants are appointed by politicians. In most democracies there are three pillars of government, legislative, executive and judicial. Commissioners are a part of the executive. And here lies the difference, the amount of decision making power in the hands of executive vs the legislative, and whether the members of the executive need to be directly elected vs indirectly elected.

You could also make the case that representative democracies aren't as good as direct democracies because citizens don't get to vote on laws directly.

Obviously there are trade offs between having elected heads of the executive who are more directly accountable to the citizenry but have less subject matter knowledge vs indirectly elected executive who have somewhat less accountability but more knowledge. There is also the case of less corruption because the indirectly elected heads of the executive aren't as beholden to special interests. Which I personally feel is a huge benefit.
Meanwhile last time I brought this up typical HN contrarians denied it!
Yes, they are so fast that I would be happy to use my phone as a computer if the industry didn't make it close to impossible
You'd have to ask a fab probably to get real numbers, but the chips that people care about that haven't migrated to a newer node trend towards having at least some mixed analog components more than the set of all chips being made. Otherwise a shrink probably would have already made sense since 28nm isn't even the cheapest node gate for gate but already a bit chonky. It gets cheaper with even smaller nodes.
This is a really great take. Agree wholeheartedly.
That has happened to me as well. "You are the best engineer we have by far, but we can't pay you more, I'm sorry". I left shortly. At least they were honest.
I haven't written LSP so I'll reserve the opinion at that. What I understood about emacs is that it doesn't have a concept of a project so I don't see how it can form dependencies that are more sophisticated. But maybe I don't understand something about that.

I can totally write these sort of plugins for any IDE I worked with. Notice that all of these capabilities are symbols of a bygone time where you stuck everything into an editor. There's no motivation for a plugin developer to do these sort of things. Instead we have plugins like Lightrun, TabNine/Copilot, etc. Stuff that's actually useful for development.

JetBrains (and some other IDEs) have a builtin file manager, terminal, etc. These make some sense for development.

A bit of gear shift latency just makes it all the more realistic!
It sounds to me like what you're criticizing is one particular method of addressing the problem, rather than the general idea that we need to address the problem.

It would absolutely be reasonable to continue fighting fraud by recognizing that these things can happen, and taking steps to combat them, without tilting it as far as you have seen in favor of banks essentially confiscating customer funds.
As much as some people like to claim that video games cause violence, I can't but help think of the billions of man-hours diverted into playing video games that would otherwise be expressed socially, politically, or violently. Video games represent a vast and unrecognized sink for masculine libidinal energy.
Agreed, where is the Product org in all this? Eng mgrs deciding which features to build is like a construction foreman deciding how many bedrooms.
Yes, the problem isn't hierarchy but useless management.
I mean, that's cool and all, except I've been hearing "it's too early, it's not for you, give it 10 more years" for like 10 years now. So I don't really believe you when you say it'll get there eventually. Have you considered... it just won't get there? Or that there are incentives in place to prevent it from getting there?
For the biometrics part, yes: Instagram never used biometrics, or at least they didn’t until this week when they started using it for an age verification process, but even then there’s no collection of biometrics in regular usage. Facebook used faceprints until 2021, when they shut down those features under regulatory pressure, but even while the feature was active it was off by default rather than a condition of using the service.
Built-in logging is definitely one of the main benefits. However, the following are also other major benefits of using a service like Cerbos:

* By running as a standalone service, any part of your application stack (in any language) can make consistent authorization checks
* Support for most major programming languages via SDKs
* Infinite scalability via serverless functions or sidecar deployment model
* GitOps enabled policy development and deployment via a full testing suite for ci/cd pipelines.
* Full audit trails of every decision made and how they were derived.
* Simple human readable YAML policies
* Ability to have different policies for different environments and ability to have canary deployments

You can find more about all of the benefits and features on our product page[0]

Example of compensation not tied to a time spent: a company might pay someone to do nothing, so this someone doesn't do something for a competitor.

Value sharing is a basic framework for compensation negotiation. Employee wants to get all the value derived from own contribution. Employer wants to pay absolute minimum employee is willing to accept. Paying more than derived value doesn't make economic sense, so compromise will be somewhere within this range. If acceptable minimum is below the derived value, compromise is impossible. Time spent working is a free variable in all this.
In reality that's what happens - the advice in this twitter thread is about the PM role, not engineering manager. It's still ridiculous though, because you still end up having phone calls with the CTO and CEO to explain why some arsehole is complaining directly to them about their pet project not getting prioritized, including having to explain to them that there is a process, which they designed, for us to make these decisions and that phoning me up isn't a part of that process.
It reminds me of how this backwards way of thinking seems to have infested everyone's heads; that stuff has to be, or make use of, the very latest technology available, or it will be useless junk that barely works.
Oh damn. Thanks.

Crypto is the chain-letter scams of the 30s; the pyramid schemes of the 60s, 70s; and the Ponzi schemes of 90s/00s.

People are susceptible to a specific sort of social-proof, social-recursion type of fraud. Enough people do something early, on paper it grows rapidly, and the scam artist sells that rapid growth as value. You get in late, they cash out by you getting in, and hence defraud you.

The 10s is going to be seen as the decade where Amway was replaced by crypto, and gullible housewives replaced with gullible tech bros.

The value of a product or service is in its use, the value its consumers place on it. "Crypto" is just another "amway soap dispenser": a piece of cheese in a mouse trap. They say "everyone wants to buy our soap!" (coins, etc.) ... but no one does. Your job, with soap/coins in your hand, is to go out and "pump the value"... and likewise, all the way down the pyramid. No one wants the soap, the coins, the crypto. The marginal value to a consumer is zero. The only value it has now is the future expected amount people can be defrauded.

It's fraud, and the people buying in early are exiting at ATHs paid for by people who are being scammed. This needs to be called out for what it is and regulated into oblivion. People are loosing everything because reputable grifters (celebs, etc.) are selling a scam.
Of course they just copied heat tiles and launched them without any prior testing. This is how things are done in space exploration.
The use of the word "we" seems suspect in both of your paragraphs. These aren't things that "we" decide. The combined entity of humans+technology is fairly autonomous now. Legislation does nothing to stop it. Like the internet, humans+technology considers legislation damage and routes around it. Our sense of control in the face of this is an illusion.
I understand how frustrating the Seattle housing market can be, but how is any of that the ~seller’s~ buyer’s fault? Your unempathetic rant is directed at someone also suffering the consequences of this market.

This house was purchased last year, prior to the most recent frenzy and no they didn’t spend anywhere near a mil on it, nor is it dilapidated. It’s actually easy to identify in Zillow if you bother to look.

Edit: seller’s -> buyer’s
This makes me realize how easy it would be to hack a car like this. All you would need to do is sneak into the car and plug in a low profile OBD reader-like device with a cellular modem, and you could send these messages from anywhere.

Just with the information in these articles we now know how to spoof the shifter mechanism, I’m sure similar processes could be used to determine steering and throttle controls. All these Hollywood plot lines and conspiracy theories suddenly don’t seem so far fetched.

That is also not true, and not supported by the IPCC.

What do you mean "we can't wait that long?" Any time we start reducing emissions is better than never. There will never be a "too late" point to reach net zero.

Secondly, what is the alternative to reducing our carbon outprint in 10 years?
Nah, I wouldn't be angry at all, especially since conference organizers usually ask about that kind of thing. But there's also a non-trivial difference between summarizing a monologue and adapting material between mediums without losing the basic argument; in my experience conferences do summary and not adaptation.

Collaborating on an adaptation might be an interesting experience. Never have done that.

Your conference looks cool. I hope it goes well.
I have savings with years worth of living expenses, and I itch to quit my unsatisfying job and focus on personal interests for a while. Yet it's been drilled into me by my parents society etc never to quit a job without another job lined up. In particular, we all know there's this looming recession. Will I be fucking my life over if I quit my job now, as the recession starts?
Hooking it up to a real car and sniffing the message bus where it connects would be by far the easiest approach to this...

Then you don't even need to understand all the messages - just replay what the car sends and figure out which byte in the response is the current gear.

You probably wouldn't even need to figure out the checksums!

Just recently I found out about sourcehut. The project is refreshing. I don't know if there is something similar in the market but I enjoy how simple and straightforward to use it is.
Do the opposite: take the best functioning crypto system you can imagine, and remove all the tech decentalisation and inherent transaction costs.

I think you'll find you've just invented a better version of that system.
I don't remember them doing it at least. Maybe before the '97 versions?
“Women are people, just like men are people.” - yes, obviously.

“Women are people, who are just like men.” - Noooop!
Disclaimer: I’m “vegan”, for some definition of the word.

Candidly, I think that reduction in animal suffering is worthwhile, but you get diminishing returns quite quickly. I’d suggest only doing things that are easy.

For example:

- While grocery shopping you’re choosing between two types of burgers with similar cost and enjoyment: pick the one that causes less suffering.

- Your tires need to be replaced for a camping trip this weekend: don’t stress about trying to find vegan tires.

- You like cow milk and non-dairy milk the same amount: snag the one that you feel better about.

- Your favorite crackers have some trace amount of milk powder in them and all of the alternatives suck. Buy them.

Over time, the number of things that are “easy” will increase, and in my experience it’s way more practical than trying to engage in vegan perfectionism and googling things like “which cars are vegan” every time you need to buy something.
"But poverty stayed the same"

Computers gave us enormous productivity as they ramped up by orders of magnitude in Moore's Law. Where did that productivity go? Well, wages are stagnant, but who has made a LOT of money since? Oh right, the wealthy. This was most prominent in the 1990s as we moved from 66Mhz to a gigahertz in CPU speed, to say nothing of disk space, RAM, networks, the internet, etc.

So if birth control restricted kids and the amount of labor that they required, and suddenly everyone has two job parents, but they poverty stayed the same...

Here's an exercise for the reader:

So TO WHOM did the money/productivity gain go?
"Engineering manager" can refer to different things to different people.

Some people think it means "a project/product manager (PM) for an Engineering team/org." PMs are all about meetings, because their job is to sit with the team, understand what they're doing, and then use that information to 1. glue the team together at the joints (i.e. act as an Enterprise Service Bus for the team's otherwise-flaky message-passing); 2. help the org understand where the team is with their work; and 3. balance the needs of the org with the needs of the team (mostly by pushing back against the org when people without the PM's understanding of the "inside view" of the team, request things that make no sense given that "inside view.")

Other people interpret the term "Engineering manager" as more akin to a tech lead — someone who does engineering, but whose responsibility is technically to marshal resources (other engineers on the team, usually more junior) to get things done. While these folks still do engineering, they only do it when things either "slip through the cracks" such that there are no people free to work on something (usually because the thing is urgent/unplanned, but everyone is busy with planned work); or when nobody on the team has the personal experience with the problem domain and also doesn't really need to have that experience (e.g. when an old legacy component is falling over and needs to be patched Right Now, despite a rewrite for that component being almost shipped.)

The problem comes when orgs try to conflate/confuse these two roles, and install one person (either with only one of the two skillsets, or with both) to serve both roles. Usually the person either becomes stretched far too thin; or just fails to do the half of the job they know less about.
Its all nice and dandy and I really appreciate that development of Thunderbird has awoken from its hiatus, but I really really wish they would fix the Maildir storage and make it standards compatible, so that one can use other mail tools like offlineimap (aka nbsync) or mu on the same Maildir store.

Please let form follow function...

Edit: some other user pointed out that Maildir support is on the roadmap:

Great news!!
That's akin to being worried a biological or chemical attack would be launched by poisoning water resovoirs
I don't see how a blockchain will ever be ready. They don't scale by their nature, have huge security risks (regular people don't want to manage their keys), the unit economics of running on other peoples computers do not pencil out, people don't want immutability once you think about it holistically, and many other reasons.
Wikipedia says "A breeder reactor is not restricted to using recycled plutonium and uranium. It can employ all the actinides". Which isotopes won't work in any breeder reactor, and also have half-lives in the window that makes long-term storage a concern?
"Flat" companies are made of the same meat-material of the hierachycal ones. There'll be someone who will take initiative to lead, some that will be in the flock, some that will be happy for a while and then succumb when crushed by the weight of having to decide.... and very soon _the hierachy_ is in place again.
Lilies always seem like they are on the precipice of smelling like death. I wonder if it’s the same thing.
It's so easy to look at decades old successes and scoff at opponents, but without hindsight it's easy to appreciate criticism. We're no smarter or more sophisticated than anyone back then, and shouldn't use a story like this to justify making fun of opponents of new projects, today. I'm certain that there are 10 boondoggles to every success like this, and if we took those into account, maybe we'd be a bit more sober about our criticism of people whom we've never met who healthily question everything.
The thing about greenhouse gases is: if we stop emitting them today they will still cause problems for decades.

With nuclear waste the time scale is vastly different. For that we need to be able to plan for milennia.

It also is harsh on those who borrowed money to buy a house, with the idea to pay back part of it over the years, and, after retirement, move to a smaller house or a house in a less desirable place, and use the price difference to pay back their mortgage and, with the rest, fund their pension.

And no, that doesn’t mean those people speculated. Even if prices stay flat, that could mean they got a decent lump sum from such a move.
Right, this accusation is serious enough that we must get to the bottom of it.

For starters, we could examine the logs of all messages between Pfizer and the Commission. These logs are held by independent ISPs on both sides of the Atlantic and thus ought to be resistant to tampering.
Well, I'm not a doctor, and I don't even really know what the "standard timeframes" are for experiencing changes. But, I can share my experience. YMMV.

After a lifetime of consuming caffeine, early in the pandemic when I started staying home fulltime, I saw my opportunity. I'd been trying to quit both coffee and caffeinated sodas for years. I immediately noticed the withdrawal symptoms, but then I'd had them for so long: irritable and dehydrated in the mornings until I had my fix. It took me 6 months to finally ween myself off coffee in the mornings. Sodas had fallen by the wayside earlier. So I finally was caffeine-free on Oct 26, 2020.

It took a solid 4-6 weeks, likely toward the longer end for the morning cravings to really stop. After that it took me another 2-3 weeks for my restless leg stopped moving. It took about 4 months after that for my body to readjust to not constantly shaking my right leg. Parts of the musculature of my hip had over-developed in the decades I'd had that problem. I continue to work on stretching out that part of my body on an ongoing basis.

The real gains started after about 3 months. That's when I noticed I slept much more soundly. Falling asleep remains significantly easier, as does waking. I'm never irritable in the mornings unless I read some awful news first thing -- point being that the caffeine withdrawal symptoms have abated.

I think more clearly. I'm not as easily irritated. I feel like caffeine left me on an emotional raw edge, and I was always snapping at people, or much worse. It ruined my emotional state for the majority of my life, since I started drinking colas heavily around age ten, and I'm 46 at present.

It has really been a very eye-opening experience. I feel like a fog on my mind cleared after a lifetime. I'm not sure I can really relate that feeling with mere words.

TL;DR: ~3 months from cessation I started to notice real benefits

It's more that web3 was created as a marketing term to escape the bad reputation cryptocurrencies had developed over the first decade or so. “web2 people” don't really exist — it's just the web, which all of the “web3” projects also rely on. When someone builds something useful with web technologies, the definition of “web” will expand to include it. If they end up with a stack which doesn't bridge to the web, it'll get a different name.

You mean the SaaS can add their own MFA? No, they can't. If you do that, you have no reasonable way to recover accounts. You get down the rabbit hole of extremely difficult UX, vs easily bypassed MFA. Once you add MFA, you cannot allow account recovery without it. This is the still-hard part of MFA.

By the time you go through all the rigamarole, you're just better off forcing your customer to manage their own MFA.
