> I am curious whether this works in the opposite direction. Does this also imply that if people take a long time to decide, then the options are roughly equal?

I can disprove the hypothesis above with a counterexample:

Which is the better deal if you're buying gasoline? 500 liters for ¥10000, or 100 US gallons for US$500?

The difference is huge. There's almost a factor of 10 difference in price per unit volume. But you have to spend significant time to figure out which is better. And it's easy to make the problem harder.

So the answer to the OP's question is no; if people take a long time to decide it doesn't necessarily mean that the options are roughly equal.
In big orgs it’s making decisions based on the totality of the business, not if we should spend $X on ads to grow revenue 50%.

If any company is being honest with itself, there are more good ideas than time or money.

A good CEO sets a course for the company, and most importantly gets everyone on board then relentlessly squashes distractions and basically clears the way for everyone to actually do their job.

CEOs need business sense, but as you said, the people who know the details report to the CEO. At the heart of it, the CEO is a salesperson and people manager.

Bosses’ Delusional Notes
More like the Union lost the civil war and retreated the Puerto Rico, which had just been acquired from Spain four years earlier. And then proceeded to institute martial law and an aggressive Amerification campaign, stamping out Spanish language and local culture, before becoming a new democracy in the 90s that only retains the name USA as a technicality.

Sudo project means more source code == more bugs.
doas is from OpenBSD, less and clean code == less bugs. At least, that is how I see it. I wrote last C code 15+ years back so you might as well ignore my comment ;)
I'm waiting for "everyone must wear a condom at all times to show how much they care about society." Pandemic performative gestures are far more important than actually telling people how they might avoid infection.
Ridiculous comment. As if Mexicans are the only ones who speak Spanish and As if Google doesn't have a huge office in mexico city and employees tons of amazing executives from Mexico around the world.
I so nearly made this a few years ago as I do the same thing….. then life got in the way.

To me green tea had a similar effect as coffee. Both feels great and gives huge energy and motivation boost, but at the costs of calmness, clarity and sustainability over the day.
Diacritics are a mess, and most of the time don't even resemble the "original" sound.
Or the far more likely scenario is that your job is only barely needed in the first place, and you were hired because some line manager knows that increasing their head count is the best way to get promoted. And since their manager is thinking the same (and probably one layer above too), and the company is still doing gangbusters on ad revenue, no one really questions it.

It's the principle as much as anything else. The site works without trackers so why not just have a button? Why be so hostile to users?
Actually, this an ecosystem of visual bug reporting tools that already exists and it's very useful when your other testers/stakeholders are time constrained. These days people talk about user experience, well, this is the equivalent of that for tester experience. It makes it a lot easier to submit useful big reports.

When you mandate jira (which is slow even on its fastest day) you then a big report from a 2 second click in an on page tool to like a 10 minute process, filling out all the fields, cropping the screenshot, copying over the url and console log and any network errors and all that. It takes forever and people eventually just learn to slack you a sentence instead, or just don't even report things anymore because it's such a hassle.

Jira is the absolute worst tool for user facing interactions. It's designed for management, not devs, testers, or users.

There are much better tools to make your life easier if you fall into the latter groups.
Very nice!

My only issue is with using literal pixels. With screens that have 3x-4x difference in DPI in wide use, it's easy to shoot oneself in the foot and make a GUI that looks indiscernible on a retina screen, or colossal on a low-end laptop screen.

I hope this will be addressed in a future version (and that there'll be more future versions! and wide adoption!)
Don't forget Clojure's libpython.clj. There's also Hylang which was inspired by Clojure.
I've looked recently at a study of academics based on papers they authored that showed parents are more productive. IIRC, fathers were most productive, mothers less productive during early years of child-rearing but ultimately beat-out non-parents.

In that limited study, if you're female you'd be expected to catch and over-take your peers -- presumably early child-rearing gives you more time after you've overtaken your peers. Again, from the study, if you're male then your output would be expected to be "better" from just after your kids come. Mother's were more productive before they became pregnant, if you follow; perhaps trying to get ahead before pregnancy.

If anyone asks I'll dig out the link. My work shared it, it showed the opposite of what they said it did ...
This account is my "anonymous" account, so I can't give you an example of what docs I can create myself... but docs systems I like include asciidoctor[1] and mdbook [2]. Though I find that even those are overkill for my hobby projects at least ... professionally, I prefer to use them anyway because of support/updates and to leave something others can manage themselves later.

> Now you can definitively get a similar experience with vanilla JS

This comment seems to show we come from very different worlds. Why do you believe you need JS to create documentation?? Have you tried writing HTML/CSS without any generator/JS/tools? It's actually pretty easy... Documentation is mostly static, which HTML/CSS was designed to create... and if you want to add a little interactivity here and there (e.g. run this code live) you can just embed something like Codepen.io or even, yes, vanilla JS if really necessary.

I do agree your tool is quite amazing... the fact it takes care of verifying crosslinking, for example, is great... but I hope you do understand that you're using a heavy-weight tool to do something that's usually pretty basic (or maybe you think of docs as something much, much more advanced than what I think of - like the Rust Docs to me are a good example of great docs and I can't even think of why anyone would need anything more advanced - I think you would find that far from advanced? Othewise, you'd agree you can easily write that by hand with HTML/CSS and a little scripting around perhaps to do crosslinking, md-to-html conversion and simple stuff like that).

ADHD travels with friends and anxiety definitely tends to be one of them! When you get a proper diagnosis they try to rule out if it's not simply just anxiety, and or something like obstructive sleep apnea. Both of these can have ADHD-like symptoms. Luckily for me I have all three of these things, so it's been fun teasing apart what's what, but that's why a formal diagnosis is an important process.
I’m sure it’s a better shifting experience, but I’d never tour with a Di2 shifter.

I was doing a group cycling tour with 3 friends, one of whom had a Di2 GRX shifter. He pinched the Di2 cable in the rear axle when reassembling his bike and shorted the whole system. Needed to replace everything. That ended the trip for him, had to go back into town and get it fixed.

The system might provide a better shifting experience, but from a durability and field-repair standpoint I think mechanical shifting still has the edge.
Agreed. It's fantastic to see these types of people self-selecting themselves out of the future population.

> Apple laptop hardware tends to be stable over time.

I'm confused where you got that idea. T2 chips changed a lot. The most recent Intel MBPs have a different wifi with a known-broken firmware for Linux. The sound handling has also changed and hasn't been reverse engineered yet since 2019. And that's before we even get to changing the entire architecture to M1. How is that less changes than lenovo?
I think they're trying to push down salaries, there's still plenty of hiring for technical roles. Recruiters, marketers, sales reps on the other hand..
Quitting news had a huge positive effect of my live. Besides the benefits of better focus I'm much less (if at all) angry and anxious. The papers and news on TV that once did neutral coverage now act like the rainbow press. Every click is measured, so the boring stuff vanishes. FUD and politics everywhere.

I'm still too much on HN, but since I strictly browse to https://news.ycombinator.com/over?points=200 it's much better.
They don’t really have to be losing in the long term, being short deep out-of-the-money puts nets you an option premium if the underlying never crashes, and once you delta-hedge that position, you can remove the tail risk from your portfolio
From your example - how does the military "unify" a diverse group of people? By aligning their thought processes and decision making. That is, by removing that very diversity.

The two words also mean literally the opposite thing. You can be along a spectrum from one to the other, but you can't have both at once.

It also make laundry more efficient since you can get away with just throwing everything in together.
If you ban something that can’t be banned and, surprise, people keep using the unbannable thing, it makes you look very very weak as a governance org.

That perception of weakness is significantly more costly than the existence of the target, especially when you can just control human minds via saying things like “look at how much energy it uses and it does nothing at all!” — and most people will believe it!
The nostalgia for geocities sites gets a bit old...

The website that's linked here is a million times better than all the sites it claims to be inspired by.

In all honesty, most of geocities was crap, and every time you'd stumble on those sites with messy content and flashing "under construction" gifs, you'd just click away in no time.
The more likely scenario for most is that there are other people or mechanisms making the money, or that they're living off the success of previous efforts. It's not necessarily their fault at a company that large, sometimes people are just grossly under-utilized or misallocated. People can just vanish in a manner of speaking, by getting forgotten about or by having your responsibilities taken from you but not replaced.
Please do list alternatives! Beside FreedomBox and PiBox, I don't know of anything in the same space.

I really enjoyed reading this post as I experimented with something similar 3 months ago which has drastically changed my mood/attention span:

- removed all social media apps from phone

- lock down all access to apps (screen time) and not know the password (give it to someone else)

- only allow photos, podcasts, spotify, navigation and the dial/SMS app

Screentime went from a few hours per day to about 15 minutes or so. But it has also changed my mood for the better. I still have to find a way to do the same thing on my desktop which is a lot harder (I need a browser)

I'd like to know how these sanctions are working for us.

Short term: not too good.

Long term: great.

Russia is a mafia state where oligarchy funded by resource exports uses most of money for lining their pockets but they spend rest on keeping up appearances that Russia is modern developed country. This setup allowed them to weaponize their foreign trade and use it against Europe on many occasions. Oligarchs don't care about changes of prices of goods on domestic market as long as they get money from resources while at same time European companies functioning on free market depend on trade to Russia for part of their income. So if Russian govt. wanted to pressure some government in Europe, they would just randomly announce that they found african pig virus in imported meat, and they are ceasing all meat imports from the country immediately. Or they would announce that apples are sick and do the same. Or they would announce that in October that they will have to reduce gas exports to given country because they have unspecific technical issue in transit system that they are currently working on resolving.

This is why limiting economic ties to Russia is so important for Europe. Its a shock therapy that will let us bullet-proof our economies from Russian political influence while at same time Russian corrupted economy will not have it this easy to switch their tech industries (namely heavy industries and military production) away from dependence on European imports. And "they'll just switch to Asia" excuse will not work here because they are cut from first-league Asian exports because those happen to also be democracies that are part of states sanctioning them. They are left with China, Turkey and India who don't know how to produce fifth-generation radar systems for fighters, fifth generation tank armors and gun barrels or fifth generation tracking systems for their munitions.

I am not convinced that 'not using yaml' and then show a visual ui to define ci pipelines is a great selling point. I definitely wouldn't want to define that through a UI. Instead I think high level of testability of such CI pipelines would be.

At the moment it always commit and push the change and wait how the pipelines acts, rinse and repeat. If you could run it locally and find out the results would be such a time saver.

It also works if you are more than one. Me and my wife have used it for several years now to sync shopping lists between us, to great effect.
On the contrary, complex numbers are one of the most "number" things that exist. It could be convincingly argued that either ℕ or ℂ are the most "real" of all sets of numbers; ℝ is a rather artificial restriction of the true richness of structure of its less popular superset.
Maybe to your point, I don't even understand what "document" means in this context. Can you explain?
I suspect that the on page modalities will be very similar, boiling down to making a page comprehensible as plain text.
Well, they have the advantage that people will typically understand what word was meant even if using only Latin letters, with a bit of context. If they had been entirely different unrelated glyphs, it may be much harder to understand in situations in which you are limited to the Latin alphabet.

Of course, it's debatable whether diacritics were a better solution than using letter combinations. There are some canonical replacements already - sh for ș and tz for ț - and some could have been created for the extra vowels. This is especially puzzling since we already use letter combinations instead of diacritics for the Ç sound (c-e/i) and the soft G sound (g-e/i).

What a bizarre thought process. Unification towards a common goal isn't homogenisation. Neither is common training or experience.
> The only thing that can sometimes bite you here is that str is iterable, if you expect a list of str and you only get a str and suddenly you iterate over the chars.

Python isn't even unique in this regard! You can iterate over a string whether you're working in JavaScript, C++, or Go. (And that's not even getting into cases like Haskell where String is merely syntactic sugar for [Char].)
It’s a way to filter out more experienced candidates because they want cheap and young. Even a Meta recruiter admits to me that Leetcode has nothing to do with the job, it’s just a company requirement that no one questions.

Oh I can assure you it’s alive and well. As a Middle School CS teacher it gets annoying. Each time I have a kid declare to the class, “Look, I’m a hacker,” I have to stop what I’m doing and explain to them that no that’s not hacking. It has started some good conversations about how they can hack stuff in their own home, but mostly it’s a bit of a distraction. So, thanks for the teachable moments throughout the years.

Putin and his circle endorse a culture of violence. They have stayed in power by keeping Russians in a state of terror. If anything they find it much easier to maintain their grip on power in this state of war and conflict, than in a state of peace. These people are actual gangsters - in their worldview they should be waging some sort of brutal war, otherwise who is going to be afraid of them at home?

I think the fears you have assume that the people in power in China have this villainous desire for violence just for it's own sake. But we're talking about the communist party and career politicians here. China has a 10+ year head start with their belt and road initiative. This is where they have an upper hand - it would be stupid to switch to military confrontation.
I would not call the TPP a good attempt. While perhaps the intent was good, the attempt was terrible. The proposed ideas were so bad that neither presidential candidate in the 2016 election wanted anything to do with it. And the new president has not joined the successor (CPTPP)

20+ years of work experience as a frontend developer, architect, and team lead.
T-shaped with good understanding of backend, REST, design / UX, DevOps / FrontendOps, ...

Not interested in working in: healthcare / medical (too much red tape involved), gambling (personal values), or weapons (personal values).

Looking for a product company, where I can express my love and attention for my users, fully remote or remote first, within a smallish, supportive team, working with a reasonably modern tech stack, where I can keep on learning and honing my skills. Even better if my users are developers.

I am interested only in full-time permanent roles, best if you have a legal entity in Italy, otherwise through Remote.com, Deel, or similar.
Open to "monthly invoice" relationships if I already know and love the company :)
