In my 15 years of experience, I see people get people get stuck when they need to ask for help in much greater prevalence than the other categories. This is often coupled with a perspective drawn from toxic meritocracy - those who work harder get more done. They are often sides of the same coin.

What it looks like practically is a team member whose tasks start to slip, mutate, and start to get called done without anything actually delivering the goods. It takes a supportive team or an active manager to stop and recognize what's happening.

Depending on the individual, either ego or fear are the primary drivers of the action and while everyone has their own demons to wrestle, those who make great contributors can recognize their demons and take steps to confront them. Mid devs often don't, can't, or won't.
Super excited for `next/future/image` & edge API routes – it's really gonna change up the game for frontend development!
Yeah and "spend less than you make" is the other one.
This is your perogative, but think about it beyond your own setup for a minute: if it's anything other than a new startup where you're managing this all yourself, it's just not worth accomodating everyone's special desires and personal requirements. I wouldn't call those "weird restrictions" outside of the current abnormal hiring market and majority of IT.
They don't make it by committee. They change producers, and still have to credit the old ones. The more producers you see, the more troubled the production.
I'm saying "most people consider", I am not talking about legal rulings.
This looks great if you need multi-track, but if you don't, another app I highly recommend is Rougue Amoeba's Fission. It's quick and simple, and it edits audio losslessly wherever possible.

I mean, getting along with co-worker is great. And yes, you can do that, and should.

But the interplay of money and status-games at work can really mess these things up. Things are great when you're just hanging out with peers. But what happens when the boss shows up? What happens when the peers become your superiors or subordinates? What happens when the company starts having layoffs, or stack-ranking? These relationships go to shit.

There are also a lot of invisible boundaries that need to be maintained, not least around sexuality.

So no, don't detest your coworkers. Maybe even invest in friendships with them. But understand that, until you're working for different companies, there needs to be a little bit of a wall.

I don't think I've ever seen a large project that wasn't pushing the limits of its language in one way or another—just with popular languages, the language is treated as a given and people jump right to finding workarounds or tweaking their own designs rather than even considering contributing to GCC or Python or whatever they're using. (Not quite general-purpose languages, but don't get me started on the pain I've had with Hadoop and Hive... but trying to change those was, somehow, never on anybody's mind.)
That'd be the European Union, the Council of Europe is completely unrelated to that.
To me the biggest blocker is unclear requirements in the edge cases (this is maybe the final 10-20% of a project). You get to a point where it's unclear which of a few options to move forward with, in a way that will affect the UX of the feature, and this isn't mapped out in the story or the wireframes. So you have to go back to product and get direction, which often takes a lot of time (product loves to meet, to measure, to a/b test, in my experience they hate to just make a decision). In smaller orgs this is often easier, the engineer can just decide, and then make a note w/ product to follow up later with a final decision that we'll follow back with later, and only if it seems better than whatever decision was made. In a big org, process gets in the way here.
The legal burden of proof for that lies on Amazon, not him, at least in the US.
Red is intriguing, but man they lost some faith with me on their direction/motivation that time they went hard in the paint on their own cryptocurrency...
>> Ruth Bader Ginsburg loved abortion, but thought Roe v Wade was a trash decision that actually risked being thrown out for how sloppy it was. She was right.

> No she didn't and no it wasn't. RvW ruled that in order to be free, people have an implicit right to privacy when making personal medical decisions.

Eh, not so much. It's probably an overstatement that she thought it was a "trash decision," but she definitely believed it was a tactical mistake and that its legal reasoning left it vulnerable, which is another way of saying it was weak.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/21/us/ruth-bader-ginsburg-ro...

> Obviously moral busybodies don't like that so they're calling it "overreach".

I think there's room to be more nuanced and have views about abortion and legal reasoning that are separate and distinct.

In practice, I've seen it used to describe someone who is fluent on the backend (DBs, APIs, DevOps, etc.) and competent on the frontend (React). But that could be more of a product of the talent pool, I think there are more backend engineers who dabble in the frontend (maybe because that's where the perceived party is?) than the other way around.
Now with Turbo, Rails is very opinionated about the frontend side. Which is a great thing.

My productivity with Rails 7 and Turbo has never been higher.
I'm a little confused, on the one hand you appear to be arguing that victims of rape and incest should be required to bear their abusers children but on the other arguing that pro-choice people aren't holding themselves accountable. In cases of rape or incest how is the victim in any way responsible for their situation?

Exactly, and if we keep idolising "the fisherman", the system becomes unstable. Also why would anybody? It's essentially stealing from other people. A welfare state should strive to provide for those who can't, not those who won't.

No, rabbit ears are a one time purchase of $5. For that you put up with ads.

The balls of companies just acting like we have to take this shit. Subscription fee and ads?

This is why people sail the high seas.

Companies abuse us so long kids grow up thinking it's normal, next thing you know it is.

We should have stopped cable companies from using ads.

I can't wait until I can charge companies for my stolen time via ads. Billboards, walking through any place with a TV the intrusions are endless and they act entitled to my attention.

> my total AWS bill was $150/mo before I migrated to permanently running VMs

I know I keep harping on about this, but [if you have a vague idea what you're doing] you can squeeze an awful lot out of a cheap VM.

I'm currently working on a project that we're deliberately prototyping using ultra-cheap VMs. If it takes off we know how to scale it up, if it doesn't the costs stay very very low.
I agree with "impossible". In fact, it's worse than you say. Specs can be unambiguous and still be wrong. How do you prove that the specification doesn't have a bug?

And then, you can formally prove that code does not have certain kinds of bugs. You cannot formally prove that code has no bugs, because 1) you don't even know all possible kinds of bugs, and 2) even for the kinds you do know, you don't have formal proofs for all of them.

In high cost of living countries, a business needs to make substantially more than its base costs to continue to operate.

Paying living wages is a challenge every startup needs to consider if it wants to scale past a meager existence for its bootstrapped founder.

Startups thrive in low cost of living areas. You see cycles of cheap land -> innovative businesses -> concentration of talent -> economic boom -> expensive land -> globally uncompetitive businesses -> whole industry collapses.

This is what happened to the automotive industry in the mid-west.
It's partly a Tech thing, I think. Those workplaces can be pretty competitive and a little brutal inside, so people start worrying that they're going to get stabbed in the back. In lower-pressure jobs this is less of an issue.
I have found on the occasions I've had to travel to mainframe-world, our COBOL devs (we have many) are very interested in mentoring younger people, and have had some success recruiting them. They understand extremely well that they have a lot to pass on and limited time to do it. I'm sure not all shops are like that (like any insular tech community), but there's probably some selection bias around folks who's response is to run to a sub to complain.
But they aren't mentioned in the article. What you're saying seems unrelated and actually the opposite of the article.
It’s not good for anybody, but it is some kind of game theoretic equilibrium whereby the hiring machinery is incentivized to find candidates who are good fits for a company’s stack, and candidates are incentivized to present themselves to be such.

The way to solve it is to make the hiring process independent of experience with a particular stack and just hire engineers with good fundamentals, which is what FAANGs do by necessity (because their stack is proprietary), but others don’t want to do because they are afraid it would be too expensive.

I should probably say that I’m in Europe. Things may be different in SV.

Two Teams, Two Measures Equaled One Lost Spacecraft (1999)
This comment is way too far down. You work at the soeed you work, and you take the responsibility you have, and no more. I'm a contractor, I use my own machine. I can take a loan and upgrade if it would make sense, and I see the investment gains and tax benefits. If I was to move to an "employee" agreement, I'd expect them to send me a machine.

That said, when I started 10 years ago, the company was super cheap and didn't buy me anything. I used my own and invested in myself by sending myself to conferences and what not. They later laid me off. That's what you get for trying too hard.

> evolving systems have as much intelligence as is adaptive

I don't know what this could mean, beyond a tautological, "smarter would be wasteful, dumber would be dangerous"

But every property of an animal could be described that way. height, weight, speed, etc.

intelligence isn't singled out that way, so the description doesn't provide insight or leverage.

> intelligence is ambient in living tissue

What does this mean? A skin cell is doing something like a random walk, and thermodynamics lets it fall down energy gradients. How does a notion of cellular intelligence get aggregated/relate to/describe any notion of the emergent mind at the descriptive level of humans.

The random walk fall down gradients theory has no explanatory power for people. How can the same word be useful at both levels?
The Value of Enterprise Software Often Isn't in the Software
Mozilla lost the plot the day they decided chasing Chrome was more important than appealing to their actual userbase. That was about the time they started incrementing version numbers every six weeks and rendered the numbers meaningless.
I remember both of those. That’s why I kind of love it. So much of it is obvious bullshit, every now and then and negative truth, but bullshit in the way that watching Alex Jones is kind of fun. Somewhere out there are people who are true believers, and they are the suckers that keep the world turning.
I like that but its the testing that makes it hard. Being able to use ORM then mock yourdatabase with sqlite or similar is very useful. You can use testcontainers but not in my firm.
On a more constructive note, I think non-germline targeted gene editing is OK-ish if 1) the goal is to cure or alleviate some really serious diseases, 2) the mechanism of the disease and the prospective treatment are widely believed to be well understood.

Stepping out to do experimental genome changes based on outputs from some black-box "AI" is a recipe for a disaster if you ask me. Especially so if the goal is to find "enhancements" for perfectly normal human beings.
If browser vendors want to create their own DRM extensions, then that's on them. But it seems to me that the W3C went too far in including DRM capability within the standards for the web.

The end result may be comparable, but I think the principle of it is important.
Ask to have a coffee-chat / demo session with an engineer on the target team. You have decent odds you'll get someone senior who doesn't do all the interviews, so it will be much closer to the true day-to-day. You'll also get far more honest answers to things like on-call, support, performance reviews and other less-enjoyable aspects (even if it's by lack of omission, like they can only spare 15 minutes before their next meeting)
Yeah, but the gist of his message was:

> a CRT screen which is a definite sign of the times and therefore a sign of aging

Nah, there's any number of in-universe explanations. CRTs in our world were still being sold new as of a decade or so ago. Why shouldn't Deckard have an old one still kicking around in 2019?

Or, if you think they would have been phased out earlier given that Blade Runner world tech developed differently than ours, then: Deckard is just attached to old things. (Remember he's also got a real acoustic piano in his high-rise apartment.)

Or, the entire photo enhancing contraption is produced by some legacy police equipment supplier that's still writing their software in Java 1.3 and using CRTs because...internal corporate reasons.

Or (least plausibly but most just-suspend-your-disbelief) that's not really a CRT, it's a far more advanced brand-new tech that just so happens to also have a curved screen and fuzzy pixels because <insert technobabble>.

Even if you really meant "DOD" (Dept of Defense) instead of "NASA" (National Aeronautics & Space Administration, which is not involved in wars), work of the DOD is absolutely necessary to maintain the free society which you and I enjoy.

Unless you want to —literally— live under a Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao, or Putin, democracies must always be better armed than autocracies. Autocracies always expand and take over less-well-defended self-determining peoples, and life under an autocracy always gets worse.

Obviously, it would be ideal if we didn't need to constantly and diligently defend ourselves from autocrats and would-be autocrats, they still exist in the world, and we must still defend against them. Yes, mistakes are always made, both in over-defending (e.g., Vietnam, Iraq) and under-defending (e.g., Balkans, Ukraine), but that does not eliminate the necessity. Wishing the world were different does not make it so, as much as you and I would like it to be so.

>> all the great things that these people could of done if they applied their talents to something meaningful.

Also, much of that work actually does get out eventually to products that are meaningful and useful to everyone. GPS, satellite communications, carbon fiber composites, and more are just a few examples of great things created initially for defense work, and that are now used universally. I work in carbon fiber and make things for everything from the DOD to sporting goods for kids.

None of it is a waste (anymore than there is waste and inefficiency inherent in any large organization). I hope that makes you feel a bit better about it.
1) Green belts. These exist for good reason -- while Canada is enormous, some of its cities are located within narrow zones of super-arable land that has food security implications if it's developed. Also, greenbelts prevent climate-change-destroying sprawl.

2) Red tape. Canada has a similar problem as Cali, where municipalities have basically declared all buildings larger than a 2 storey detached house to be illegal. The only way anything gets built is through zoning and planning variance committees and provincial quasilegal arbitrators, which take years and add ferocious amounts of carrying costs and legal fees. Provinces are only just getting started tackling this.

3) Industrial capacity. There isn't the available skilled manpower and equipment needed to double and triple our per-year output.
That so beautifully captures the attitude of the semantic web community, "What people miss...". Didn't miss anything. It's this attitude, that the problem isn't with what's been done, it's that other people have failed to recognize how brilliant it all is.
Note: that's true for postgres and sqlite (which ignores the length limit entirely as they discovered anyway), not necessarily for other database systems.

Try this: https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut

I am using the binary on macOS. The UI is a bit idiosyncratic but it works quite well and is ideal to cut a video down to the essential parts without loss of quality.
For this particular application I discuss in the article it would make no difference, since there is only one not heavily used table that uses UUIDs. All the other tables use integer primary keys.

Also this may be not a very popular opinion, but I prefer to design the database without using database-specific features. Things such as using SQLAlchemy and sticking to basic types. Sure it may affect performance some, but thanks to having done that I was able to port the app from SQLite to PostgreSQL in like an hour.
Why would they? I can’t imagine the dues-pay-members are going to change their mind on that.
> It's worth noting how taboo it is to admit that you hate your children, and thus how vastly under-reported this attitude ends up being.

Then how do you know anyone feels that way? Where do you get your information?

> wish they hadn't been forced to grow up in abject poverty

That's a different question altogether. We all wish we had been born in better circumstances, but that doesn't mean we resent being alive.

The solution to children growing up in abject poverty is not abortion, it's social safety nets. Nobody should have to live in abject poverty in a rich country.

Redwood and Prisma look nice! But what I like more is a focus on serverside rendering and as few build steps as possible, like Fresh. I also find Deno more appealing than Node (simplicity).

But yes, I guess if I would need to pick a more mature framework with JS, Redwood would be the way to go.
Interesting. My company (small startup) went with flutter and vuejs and now we're switching to nextjs for all of our web apps and we're loving using it.

iPhones also prevent background playback of videos (so no listening to YouTube) — as well as autoplaying a second track after a first, manually played one ends (so no web audio players which are not streaming).
You do know an ORM is a thing that is used with a database rite? Perhaps you actually meant "don't use a relational database". Either way, LOL
Suggesting 1kW on a chip would need immersion cooling is misleadingly phrased. By the time 1kW is around other constraints might have forced that, but not the chip power consumption.

We can definitely sink a kW into a waterblock. Especially with the heatspreader area increasing.

Personally annoying is that ATX desktop supplies seem to cap out at 1.6kW which can't really do multigpu systems anymore. Would be interested to hear the product names for ones beyond that, strapping two together and hoping the 12V is close enough to the same from each seems risky.
Everywhere I have worked, "IC" meant "not a people manager," so no, it is not a term which can be substituted with "programmer."
It’s especially bad given how much more tooling is in-principle-doable in haskell compared to other languages. In python, you can’t really reason about shit because of all the black magic you can incant. But tooling does a really solid job at getting really close. In haskell, you can absolutely reason about nearly every tool you could dream up, but none of them have been built into something really useable.
