Contrary to what the article says, flat hierarchies and self-organization ("agile") have been en vogue for the last 20 years, and no one is saying "let's go back to strict hierarchies!".

This suits organizations, who can save costly management levels and puts a lot of stress on the remaining managers. Those have gained a lot more people with all their needs and wants (and lost secretarial help along the way too). A manager visiting the office in the other town can easily spend a day with pastoral care.

Organizations also appreciate that Business Analysts, Scrum Masters and the like wrestle through the complexity without putting too many tough (technical) decisions on the bosses' desks. Let them figure it out and let's just check the KPIs and budgets.

The new generation coming into the workplace hasn't even experienced that much hierarchy yet. In my youth we still kind of lived as second class citizens under a general adult rule and have known a lot of formal leadership outside of our parents. Is the intern willing to do the kind-of-boring but necessary work along with me, because I carefully suggest it? Often, not really.

So, get ready for less and less hierarchy. Learn to deal with invisible power structures. Hire people who already have the skills and will work self-driven. And consider that the team you're in may not actually share that "common fate".

Jira Server Security Advisory 29th June 2022
What you are describing sounds like a good senior engineer. There can ofcourse be exceptions, especially if we talk about necessary complexity that has been turned into a swamp, but usually what you are describing is closer to x2 engineering. x10 is when you stop solving problems and make them vanish instead.

An example: Business/product/whatever wants fuzzy search on a listing.

x2 says "I know how to do that. We just use Debezium and kafka to get the data into Elastic Search and then query it from there". Business/product/whatever says "cool, code it up". The infrastructure is a little difficult, but two months later a well tested good solution is in production, everyone is happy. Good job?

x10 says "how good does the fuzzy search need to be? Elastic Search is king, but Postgres can do it too". Business/product/whatever says "I don't know". x10 engineer codes a demo in 2 hours, shows it to business/product/whatever. Business/product/whatever says "that will do, lets ship it". The day after its shipped to production, noone ever talks about fuzzy search anymore.

Noone is every consistently x2 or x10 or xWhatever. Sometimes x2 is the best you can do, but other times you can do much much better. The trick is usually to be on the lookout for it.
'One skeleton crew to maintain the "bad" code in production, and everyone else was allocated to the rewrite.'

My employer is doing this now.
I'm on the maintenance side.
I am not refactoring it quietly, yet.
I am quietly supporting the rewrite team, although I won't get credit for it.

The 'bad' code makes us money today.
The new code costs us money today.
I doubt it will ever be better enough to pay for its own development.
But that does not seem to matter.
Mgmt wants to be like google.
Mgmt wants a bigger org.

Not much I can do except to keep the money coming in today.
Currencies are the only non-scam use-cases of crypto. However, the problem is that cryptocurrencies make trade-offs to be able to operate in a hostile environment. If you don't operate in a hostile environment (let's say your business has no reason of being shut down by neither the mainstream payment processors nor governments) then you're better off using established, trust-based payment methods which are more efficient because they don't have to operate within the threat model that cryptocurrencies operate in.

Everyone agrees that the right to privacy is in the constitution.

Disagreement is if right to abortion comes from right to privacy. I don't see how it does. Because the constitution doesn't explicitly mention abortion it falls on those who see it as a constitutional right to show their work. Especially since abortion has historically been illegal especially after the baby's first movement.

So I wonder, why do you think the right to abortion stems from the right of privacy?
I first came across this in the Marine Corps, which pushes you to ideally no more than 4 direct reports, with the idea that you could have up to 8 directly reporting temporarily, but that would lead to your own personal performance degrading in anything that's not directly managing those 8. Hence the structure would be 4 to a "fire team" with a team leader, 3 teams to a squad with a squad leader, three squads to a platoon with a platoon leader.

There's similar numbers found in the book An Elegant Puzzle: Systems of Engineering Management, and I want to say that similar numbers are espoused by Jocko Willink in his leadership books.

Why do I need nerve regeneration and repair? I get it if someone is sick or whatever but healthy people probably shouldn't get caught up in these snake oil treatments that they never needed in the first place. It's great to raise awareness but unnecessary for majority of healthy people.
> After all, given 2 Game Genie codes, one that granted 5 lives on startup and another code that granted 9 lives, and the only difference between the 2 codes was one character, even a novice player could probably figure out that modifying that one character to any of the acceptable letter characters would grant between 1 and 16 lives on startup.

I fail to see why that was an outcome they wanted to avoid.
Unless the lesson lies later down the road, when the biometrical of X billion people gets used for <insert nefarious purpose>.

They say that we don't learn by knowing but by doing, and a significant part of the incentive to do is pain.

The tragic irony lies in the fact that apparently, it only takes about 80 years to forget the last horrors —approximately one maximized average lifespan, makes sense I guess… Though what a piss-poor historical-attention span. Or about as much to collectively resign sensitivity to horror, as in the case of CCP-led China (1949-now).

You know the problem with things that concerns everyone: everybody thinks somebody else is taking care of it; in the end nobody does.
Any chance you have anything to support renewables + storage generating the same amount of power as a nuclear power plant are 1/3 the price? Preferable I would like to see reports that include all the cost of mining and processing for the battery material as well as how the used renewables sources are going to be disposed of.

Also as you are claiming nukes are take to long to build can you provide evidence of how long it would take to build and install enough renewables to output 1GW of power at all time? You would have to have massive battery farms to do this, so those must be included too.

You claim it takes under 2 years to get a renewable up yet a quick google search returns taking between 16-20 weeks for 1MW so 1GW (average output of one reactor) would take 16 weeks * 1000 so 16000 weeks. Which is 307 years.

> The irony is the same companies can pay 3x the comp for external consultants.

I once worked for a university during a large ERP migration.

There was a mix of employees and consultants working on the migration.

Everyone that the university managed to hire (at salaries WAY below-market price) was almost immediately snatched and started working as consultants themselves (in other companies, obviously). And rightly so.
Love this! Was in my bookmarks as I had to make a couple of codes late last year to slow the ball in arkanoid, so it could be enjoyed by someone who couldn't keep up. Needed to use FCEU to find the ball speed info and some online references to the 6502 ASM instruction set for substituting instructions to keep the ball slowed.
Not a magician, just watch tricks occasionally and enjoy thinking about how they're made.

I wouldn't necessarily expect the monitor to be visual as card tricks usually just need knowledge of a couple of cards. This could be communicated through sound (e.g. discrete earpiece or bone conduction headphones) or even haptics (e.g. Morse code vibrations from a phone in a pocket).

As for the scanner, it'll depend on the trick, the goal is just to hide a camera. It could be concealed in a prop or an item of clothing. The scanning could even be incorporated into the trick, for example by sealing the cards immediately in a "safe".

Yeah my algorithm for determining spam and/or bad attempts isn't very advanced. I intend the site to help teach brevity to people who already know English well, so while it might be nice for the game to detect mangled text, it's not really a priority. I suppose people who want the functionality could use one of the automated writing assistant browser extensions for now.

One could "cheat" by submitting mangled text for amazing scores, but that would defeat the purpose of the game and be a waste of time :)

If crypto is a commodity, people still owe the same capital gains tax.

> So I wonder, why do you think the right to abortion stems from the right of privacy?

Because that is what the ruling in the case of Roe vs. Wade was, so it's been precedent in the United States for almost 50 years that the right to an abortion explicitly results from the right to bodily privacy.

> Everyone agrees that the right to privacy is in the constitution.

The recent Supreme Court ruling asserts that the right to privacy is not in the constitution.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3991026/

Going by my intuition, I suspect that the anti-microbial properties of roots and fungi affect which gut bacteria are active. Since bacteria can make anything, it seems plausible that certain diets support healing and even some degree of regeneration.
I mean, you can just refer to the Roe v. Wade judgement to understand the Supreme Court's view on why that is the case.
Wonderful. Using this in the future.

> But in doing so it hardly “leverage[d] resource extraction and control”

Actually, it did. Maybe not in the ways you'd think on inspection.

Prior to cameras, the only way to get a reliable portrait was to hire a skilled painter -- so cameras transferred extraction and control of portraiture from skilled painters to photographers, which meant the barrier to entry into portraiture got lowered significantly, especially so as the price of cameras continued to drop.

In other words, camera technology democratized the ability to produce representative imagery by significantly lowering the barrier to entry.

How? The person is, uh, did I mention, dead? Since our intention was not to send people out there to die, their death indicates a failure, and that is an embarrassment.

If anyone is a little slow to see the embarrassment, then I'm sure the US MSM (mainstream media) would use the deaths as a grand source of shocking headlines to grab people by the heart and gut, have their eyeballs follow, and increase the ad revenue.

If you like the idea of dying out there, sign up to be one of the first humans on Mars: Your chances of staying there for thousands of years are excellent. And, for your death, I doubt that will take very long, maybe less than 100 hours after you land. That is, for humans, the moon and Mars are dangerous places, wildly, outrageously dangerous.

For a death on the moon or Mars, sending the body back to earth would be expensive. Leaving the body there and adding it to the growing collection of dead bodies will be for thousands of years a grand embarrassment. For a body in space, often retrieving it would be very expensive, so expensive that we are in line to have a large, growing collection of bodies out in space in whatever orbits around whatever masses.

In a little more detail, out there, humans will suffer from high energy radiation, i.e., cosmic rays, and the effects of low gravity. Further, both the physical and social environments will be highly foreign and, thus, very likely harmful.

Yes, soon one proposal will be to gather up the bodies on the moon or Mars, load them into a special rocket, and send them to the sun. That will be an expensive rocket and still do nothing about the bodies in orbits. Let the Chinese, etc. accumulate dead bodies. We in the US will have just dead robots, right, that can be used for spare parts!

Soooooo, here in the US, just take this opportunity to research, engineer, and develop various robots.

We can learn our lesson the easy way (just read what I am writing here) or the hard way. But one way or the other, we are in line to learn our lesson: (A) Sending robots into space is quite doable. (B) Due to the dangers and the really goofy environments, there is no role for humans in deep space now or anytime on the horizon. Sooooo, the humans build the robots and send the robots, not the humans.

The easy way or the hard way, guys.
Yes, specifically Thomas' concurrence argues that the privacy is the same right that underlies Griswold (right to contraception), Lawrence (private consensual sex), and Obergefell (same sex marriage), and so Thomas thinks those should be overturned as well.

I built a Next.js library for this purpose using Hellō and iron-session. This lets me roll a new application with social login without needing to register with Google/Apple/other providers.

https://github.com/irrelevelephant/nextjs-hello

Its interface is essentially just a login button component, and functions to retrieve the user session state on both the client/server.

If you're not using Next.js, you may want to use Hellō directly - it's a simple OIDC provider with some convenient benefits.

Looks like they are optimizing for having the ability to easily destroy the solar shield if, for example, the cooling effect is greater than intended. I think that’s a wise precaution. If the bubbles can also be produced easily, which seems plausible, then perhaps losing some of them to harsh conditions won’t be such a big deal. With reusable rockets becoming a thing, replacing them could become more cost effective and simpler as time goes on.
But it’s fine for your neighbors to make noise throughout the day and night and host (for free) lots of different guests in their spare bedroom?

Like these discussions seem so odd because while you could just ban the undesirable behavior there’s some recognition that it would never pass because it’s ridiculous and people move on to banning things associated with the undesirable behavior.
I doubt that is an actual rule - many people don’t have passports and there is no requirement for someone to show on the spot identification.
I’d be surprised if it was a printer only thing. The 2up would be a software thing typically.

Depending on the clock frequency of the chip, a change in the length of signal carrying lines (i.e. from one gate to the next) can already result in a phase/timing shift that ruins the circuit.
It is not uncommon to have data lanes that are longer than necessary, just to keep signals on different lines in sync.

Even if you ignore all the other complications when switching nodes (and there are a LOT!), this alone prevents simple downscaling of circuits.
It is very likely that after downscaling at least part of the interconnects have to be rerouted.

As for automation of that task: It's the traveling salesman problem in disguise.
Which means that you CAN automate it, and there exists software for that purpose, but the result are hardly optimal, and most likely leave quite a lot of possible performance on the table.

Add to that all the other necessary changes when switching nodes, and it becomes fairly obvious that switching nodes, even if only porting 1:1, is a massive effort that can easily span YEARS.
FWIW the built-in calendar function on the Windows Taskbar for a while has this continuously scrolling functionality. Click the current time on the taskbar and it'll open a calendar view. Scroll on the calendar and it'll scroll by the week. Click on a day and if you've connected a calendar to your Windows account it'll show events on that day.
This is amazing! This tech unlocks some impossible card effects (ex: "shuffle the deck, pick your favorite card from it, hand the deck back to me, your card is the Ace of Diamonds").

While reading through this repo I was reminded of a project I'd heard Randy Pitchford, the CEO of Gearbox Software (creators of the Borderlands franchise) talk about wanting to make after one of the magic shows he hosted at his house in Frisco, Texas.

Randy is a huge fan of magic. He's the great nephew of Cardini and notably recently purchased the Magic Castle[1].

Lo and behold, the primary contributor to this project—Paul Nettle—is an employee at Gearbox Software[2]. What a small world! I'm so happy they've made this open source.

> unless Congress were to pass a law to grant more authority, the SEC would have almost no ability to regulate cryptocurrency as they would have no ability to define cryptocurrency as a form of "security"

This is a fringe theory no administrative lawyer backs. Neither, based on crypto’s lobbying of the Congress, do those with influence in crypto.

Ripple’s case is narrow. This legal theory sounds like it’s being pitched by someone making a “times are about to change” pitch.

(In the region known as the United States of America,) Abortion has actually historically been legal until the baby's first movement, which is four or five months. It's only fairly recently where things like banning abortion before pregnancy is even visible was implemented.

Lavabit would have never voluntarily shut down if it were operated in China, because the CCP members on the board would have voted to hand over the keys.

Of course, governments in every country collect data in at least some circumstances, and the details of those circumstances are a topic of great public debate in western democracies. This friction is how democracies continually improve. It isn't an indication of disaster, it's an indication of progress being made. Disaster is when you don't hear about it at all, because it happens unilaterally and without contest.

Don’t know how it was done back in the days. But dumping a ROM should be straight forward. The resulting machine code can be massaged into assembly using a disassembler. 6502 assembly is kind of easy to read, since the instruction set is small compared to modern day CPUs. Once you identified a routine you want to change, you look up the instructions address in ROM, and hijack the corresponding addresses at runtime to put your own instructions and data on the bus. For sure everything but easy, but totally doable.

Not really, especially in the face of so much evidence that the Romans generally thought this way. It does show, however, that not everybody thought glory was worth it. That's hardly surprising, given that societies are always diverse populations. But segments of society disagreeing with the culture at large does not disprove that the culture had certain proclivities.
