I have worked for my current company since 2015, so these are tactics I used:

1/ 30m meeting. Everyone who wants to make a meeting with me must via the invitation ( send to my calendar ), and the meeting duration must be 30m ( or less than ).

2/ Document by priority. I track the top 3 problems by their frequency and make the document ( troubleshooting ) next week. Automate your work first, after that, do delegate.

3/ Keep the fire burning. I mean you have to find your top 3 reasons, why you are still here, and work for the company. If you tried but can't find them, leave.

Hope it can help.
Not exactly what you’re asking for but Ryan Holiday makes the “yellow journalism is back again” point in “Trust Me, I’m Lying - Confessions of a media Manipulator”. It’s a (terrifyingly) good book and he goes into how he engineered nationwide protests and counter protests starting with a billboard he paid for and defaced - all to drum up interest for a movie. Also includes other shenanigans he did that the attention-driven media ate up and never fact checked.

I also have a friend who has fooled/manipulated the media on a National scale to humiliate the US Navy (he’s a Westpoint grad). So… there’s likely truth to the book.
There’s a moral obligation to mitigate harm caused by your project.

I recently ran into a situation where a very old package caused terrible damage.

I contacted the pypi maintainer. He apologized and promised to fix it. Six months later, no changes.

This was a very unusual situation, as the package was the same name as a module later adopted in the standard library.

The author was under the impression the package was literally uninstallable since the code hadn’t been valid Python for over two decades, including the setup script.

Still wish they would delete it.

Best source of news is Wikipedia, honestly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events
The US News rankings have been considered dubious at best for some time.

The Rankings Farce ‘U.S. News’ and its ilk embrace faux-precise formulas riven with statistical misconceptions. https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-rankings-farce

Do the ‘U.S. News’ Rankings Rely on Dubious Data? Researchers who submit to the publication say survey answers are subject to errors, ambiguity, and pressure to look good. https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-far-from-perfect-data-...

Are Rankings Being Rigged (Again)? Two lawsuits charge that the Rutgers Business School inflated its rank by hiring its own students through a placement company. https://www.insidehighered.com/admissions/article/2022/04/18...

Because of the enormous influence US News rankings can have on student choice, it's clear that universities have financial incentives to game the numbers.
My mail server's IP has been the same for 4 years now. Even the machine I'm typing this on only changes IPs every couple years or so and that's a residential IP that isn't supposed to be static.

Of course you want everything in DNS and if your IP is supposed to be dynamic you should have provisions for automatically updating it (I have some shell script somewhere that calls nsupdate over ssh although I looked for it the other day and couldn't find it which is a bit disturbing.)

I unironically think that 4chan is better twitter, especially the smaller boards.
This may not be horrible thing if merely applied news from TV/social media, as most of that is pure garbage from both sides.

The problem is that news that isn't sensationalized and hyperbolic is so dry that it will never be palatable by the average news consumer. There's a couple out there that manage to ride the thin line of both objective and entertaining like The Intercept, AP, Quillete.
There are so many odd limitations with Azure, such as the inexplicable inability to make a mailing list.
> But, the 2 years of Biden demonstrated that our institutions are currently pretty helpless against brazen corruption. Many millions of our citizens will shrug their shoulders at, or even cheer on corruption so long as their side is winning the all important cultural trolling wars.

> But, the 8 years of Obama demonstrated that our institutions are currently pretty helpless against brazen corruption. Many millions of our citizens will shrug their shoulders at, or even cheer on corruption so long as their side is winning the all important cultural trolling wars.

I'm sorry, I just really don't like statements like this. It literally tells me nothing except what political affiliation you have and it does not give any coherent argument for/against why "the majority of the elite thinks the masses can't defend their interests and are not worth fighting for".
i got that Flexport ad too.. haha kinda alarming if they are the only YC company still hiring
This is a special little corner of the internet, and I love it very much. I also have it blocked in etc/hosts on every work computer I ever use.
I was surprised they only had one backup server, especially given the competitive price of rackmount hardware these days. More replicas needed.

Although this was a fun exercise to learn how lost I feel without HN. Damn.
It is a nice article. Summary is they wanted lighter cars so accel/decel would require less power and the gas/brake system would be lighter/smaller. So then the wider gauge is helpful to increase lateral stability (to prevent tipping over) since the cars are so light.

In my opinion these kinds of historical mechanical/civil engineering stories are quite interesting. Would love to see more.
Miami is not making this equipment, why attack the messenger and not the source of the problem? Also, Amazon has a big counterfeit problem most likely making billions and most likely manufactured by the same people who supply these idiots.
Replit: Worldwide Repls, part 1: The Control Plane
If the share price is lower than $54.20, it’s because the market doesn’t believe the sale will be completed. The difference between $54.20 and the current share price represents the probability of the transaction falling through.

Twitter has done nothing to impede the transaction, so any uncertainty (and thus decline in TWTR share price below $54.20) is due to the actions of the buyer, who is… Elon Musk.

Therefore, Elon is responsible for any decline in the share price since the purchase agreement was signed.
It's my bad, I found the quote - it was about the Canadian outage, but at the bottom they wrote:

"Hours before the Rogers outage began, an apparent cyberattack took down the U.S. Congress website. According to Fox News, the pro-Russia hacking group Killnet took credit for crashing the website around 10 p.m. Thursday evening."

I didn't see the first part, i.e. hackers taking credit for the US Congress attack.

So I don't see anyone actually taking credit for it.

That said - this major attack is happening 1) at the very same moment US Congress is attacked, and, 2) Canada is at this very moment deciding on whether or not to return gas turbines to Russia as part of a maintenance agreement. The Turbines are part of the 'banned goods' but Germany wants the gear to go back to Russia for a key pipeline. Canada announced today they will send the gear to Russia.

So it's hugely speculative, but I'm still inclined to believe this was a hack - it's just too hugely suspicious.

It actually seems faster for me compared to the past two weeks. Not sure if I was being throttled or something, at times it felt like it.
It's mostly about data. Each micro services is responsible for their own data, data migrations, data store, etc. Think of it as a mini web app with an API. In theory, you could use a library in that way but I have never seen such use in practice. You would also run into the problem of having to always keep all library users on the latest version as to avoid having two versions which expect different database schemas. It also largely forces you to stick to a single programming language.
Quitting social media also means distancing from people who are obsessed with it
I had a falling out with a friend, which happens from time to time, but I realized I haven't been outraged in a while.

Here is how it'd go:

He would be read something off twitter, then get outraged (the world is big something is always happening).

Then he'd bring it up in a conversation. I'd look it up and be appalled.

Problem is we wouldn't do anything, we would just talk for hours about it and then in few days move on to another thing completely forgetting about it.
Except that in Java, the former is more common and in Go, the latter is more common. Really, the latter looks more like idiomatic Go, which makes the original complaint somewhat redundant. You might stylistically prefer the former, but then you're probably not going to enjoy using Go anyway.

Good science doesn’t respect good ideology.

There are ideologically inconvenient truths: men who have sex with men should not donate blood in the US, for example.

Hmm. You think the 4 years of Trump proved the institutions broken? My perspective was always that they were quite resilient during that time. I mean, he literally tried use all of his power to do a coup - and it didn't work.
This is through USBC which also charges the laptop.
Not for sure why you're downvoted, because you're right. Lawyers do not operate on logical basis. They operate on interpretations of logic. I found this out when buying my house. Interacting with the lawyers was completely miserable because they live in their own little world. They expected me to just know things that they would poorly specify, requiring several emails to clarify, and then when I would point out mistakes, logical inconsistencies, or poorly defined things in the contract, they would just shrug it off or sort of grudgingly fix them, seemingly just to appease me. Then they would just dig their heels in the ground about what the contract "says" because the contract "says so", even though it made no logical sense. Because the contracts aren't what they say logically. They say what they say based upon a sort of colloquially agreed upon interpretation of them. Lawsuits then center around this colloquial agreement and not around the contractual logic. It's an excruciatingly frustrating world to be introduced to. I wish to never have to deal with lawyers.

> Ever since what "the definition of 'is' is", my whole outlook on lawyers was just obliterated.

Is that in reference to something? Got a link or an article or something?
I see the value in your perspective, also.
HN is written in a custom lisp dialect. I'd argue it's more like one of those designer cars than a corolla.
1, 2, and 5 are essentially the same sort of Cluster B issues. Related: The No *sshole Rule is a good book to read on how a single jerk can ruin a team, manager or not.

3 is treating others with contempt instead of equal humans.

4 is a lack of ability to delegate/trust/verify that ruins morale.

Ten things I’ve never heard a successful startup founder say (2011)
The main benefit of scales is to learn common fingerings. Most music is made from scales, so practicing scales in isolation will bake in the correct fingerings for many common sequences of notes. It will also mean that you have exposure to "odd" keys, which makes you a more rounded player.

Once you get to a certain level of proficiency, you can just "hear" scales and you don't need to practice them any more (aside from for warmups and physical training). However beginners don't have the advantage of this ability.
The Ars headline is one of the few for this story that I've seen that has specified "for bystanders" vs making it sound like it was also illegal for the person involved (e.g. someone pulled over in a car or someone else in the car with them) to record.

I probably wouldn't support the law - especially if the "cop walks towards someone recording" bit counts as "being within 8 feet of the activity" - but let's report things as written.
Are lawsuits limited by max(previous settlements)?
> So when you say anything not illegal is allowed, do you mean that I can post porn anywhere?

Can't you already do this on Twitter? You just need to mark it as sensitive.

> That spammers and bots can't be banned?

It would be like 4chan I assume, spam/bots are banned.
After 2.5 years of not living you lives, you still caught it anyway.

That's perfect proof right there that we should all throw many more years of our lives into the fire to make sure that we ... uhm ... still get the thing anyway and feel sick for a few days

Can't say I agree:

they are not very good for hosting user generated content, they suspend very fast for any sort of Abuse complaint. User generated content, will result in some Abuse complaints.
interactive rebase can do this:

git rebase -i commit1

it will open an editor. find commit2 in the text file and change "pick" to "edit". save&exit editor

it will dump you out on commit2 (with the typo). use an editor to fix the typo in typofile. then:

git add typofile
git commit --amend
git rebase --continue

then it will rebase the other 99 commits on top, if there are any conflicts it will stop and you'll have to fix them.

you can optionally skip the git commit --amend right after git add and rebase --continue does it automatically anyway.
Good to know it was for steadiness against the wind given its light construction and the original intent to have if go on (under?) the GGB deck.

I’d like to know why the tracks are flat and not angled and require regular grinding down to even out the washboard effect this causes… which results in that high pitched sound whenever it enters a curve due to slippage.

Any advice on where to procure and what amount? I know this sound hail corporate but trying to get decent quality is such a crap shoot since this kind of thing has no regulation.

In my 4yrs+ of using Linux, this has never been a problem for me.

> Apps may be compatible or not with Wayland

App developer's fault. Besides xwayland bridges that gap.

> Power consumption may not be efficient

Use Wayland for GUI apps. Use more cli applications.

> Computer may not resume from sleep

This one I have to concede. It's been wonky but for me now seems reliably stable with my setup.

> The browser may burn CPU when playing videos

This one has been fixed recently. Chromium and Firefox already support hw video decode with Firefox set to make it the default configuration in FF 103.

> clipboard not being always shared

I don't know what your setup is but gnome's gpaste clipboard experience is 100x better than any OS I've used before.

> file managers not sharing bookmarks data across them

Have never come across this use case. Why would you expect this to be a feature? Even Windows doesn't support this feature when you swap file managers.

If there's anything that would build public trust back in police institutions, it would be politically-empowered independent citizen's oversight boards. It is such a shame that most cities in the US don't have these.

I'd like the police to be a (mostly) transparent organization that is concerned with the health of our society and key partners to all upstanding citizens. Citizen oversight boards is one path to making that happen.
There are several others mentioned so it shouldn't be a default but none of those use cases apply to normal users otr prod servers.
Not Musk but his gigantic fan base on Twitter would.
It depends if they're deficient in terms of:
- Not protecting the team from unreasonable demands and/or blame from the organization
- Doesn't ensure the work environment stays civilized for all
- Doesn't lead or set an example where necessary

There are genuinely nice, civilized, respectable managers who aren't "trying too hard".
The firehose is all the posts.

It's not all the views. And 'daily active users' are mainly viewing, not posting.

Do you have actual proof or citations to suggest he wasn’t good at math? Also that’s not necessarily a bad thing. A good scientist can and should understand their limitations and collaborate accordingly.

The fact of the matter remains that he was more academically active than the current crop of science evangelists (cough NDT) and was more relatable at least in his TV persona. Unless he was straight up evil in his life his ego doesn’t matter and is more likely not surprising.

Still interested in the citations though.

Given that this is the numbers and methodology that Twitter has used for many years in SEC filings, Musk is implying that Twitter has been deceptive to its own investors and to the SEC for years. This isn't impossible, but it might require a little more than a page or two of vague accusations.
I don't found it a good joke. Chinese cultures (Chinese as a race but not as nationality), including confucianism, is also inherited by other countries like Taiwan and Singapore, and regions like Hong Kong and Macau.

Variants of the confucianism culture are also developed in Japan and Korea.

So the maintainer may also insulted Taiwanese, Japanese and Korean unintentionally, apart from Chinese (as nationality this time).
Let’s say your house is worth $2M and you bought it for $1M and had a loan for $600k.

You sell the house and have $2M to spend on a new house and a loan to continue paying off.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I've somewhat tried to stick with older sources, preferably over 25--30 years old, for similar reasons to the Ask Historians subreddit: the works are time-tested, and older history is more settled and generally less liable to stir up present partisanship. The general principles seem to be surprisingly consistent over time, and it's often useful to consider modern information technologies and implementations through the lens of earlier forms and variations. Scale and speed do seem to be a significant deviation from that rule.

Where I've made exceptions for newer works, it has been those which focus more on the technology, organisations, and institutions rather than the parties involved.

That said, I'll give it a look.

While oil might have hit 100/bbl, gas price still only hit 4$ very briefly and the impact of higher prices was generally limited to that sector. Today we are seeing higher prices across the board.

Depending on what stat you look at, the % of people living paycheck to paycheck is actually pretty large, and only getting larger as prices go up, especially in rent/homeownership space.

But...the labor market is showing some great resiliency, so if that initial domino never falls, we might be able to skirt through with minimal damage by keeping confidence high.

That's just a stop-gap solution. We have small bandwidth and can't be expected to figure out the truth on our own for every relevant topic.

That's why it's a travesty that there aren't journalistic outlets that can be reliably counted on to stick up for the truth when that truth happens to be contrary to their political leaning.
