I am in that condition, so personal experience here:

- i do most meetings with internal stakeholders to understand needs and changes, and document them

- i do most "architecting", as i have most context on the systems my team is responsible for (also I am the oncall escalation point all the time as I am the senior person)

- i write about 10% of the code, usually what other colleagues aren't comfortable with (legacy systems mainly these days)

"Development" is not only writing code, and senior roles tend to code far less because we get wrapped up with the rest of the company so other folks can code and deliver.
My team, manager and customers seem very happy about the whole thing (but hey, maybe everyone hates me!). I do want to code more, maybe with a good PM i would be able to, but I have no illusions about that.
For comparison, here are the Javascript RFCs for the equivalent operators:

https://github.com/TC39/proposal-optional-chaining

https://github.com/tc39/proposal-nullish-coalescing

IMO optional chaining is a lifesaver when dealing with deeply nested JSON, and it's become indispensable in our Typescript code. But we also deal with JSON from various third-party endpoints in Python, and far too often we resort to an inefficient deep_get utility to make our code sensical.

> if json?.get("foo")?.get("bar")?[0]?.get("baz")

may seem messy but would be infinitely better than the fragile (note the nested list-of-a-single-dict, and how bugs can appear if it's not there):

> if json.get("foo", {}).get("bar", [{}])[0].get("baz")

or the inefficient

> if deep_get(json, "foo.bar.0.baz")

It's not nearly as good as the Typescript json.foo?.bar?.[0]?.baz - but it's good enough!

I think ultimately the point is that this guy who fucking sucks at running a company made $55mm, and several hundred people just lost their jobs due to his ineptitude. Seems pretty cut and dried to me that he's a pile of shit; if he really cared about his employees he would truly take responsibility and reinvest some of his money in the company.

The Power Business Writing Guide – By Sahil Bloom
We’re talking about new cars though. There are laws in some states (see everywhere Tesla doesn’t have stores) requiring dealers to be used instead of going direct to manufacturers.
Sahil Bloom is a terrific thinker and writer I enjoy following on Twitter. I often take the first principle of "Draft Fast, Edit Slow" to an extreme - the easiest way to draft fast is to talk and record yourself. Then use a transcription tool (like Otter.ai) to get your first draft quickly in text. This is a trick I experimented with after reading Seth Godin's "Talker's Block" post.
At this point it's not preference. A large number of people - especially lower income and young - are mobile-only.

Good point, I still have to check nils on some stuff in Lua, but way way less than I do in my Python day job!

I liked Kotlin's null-handling when I worked in it because there were some tools there to handle nulls in a reasonable manner. I think the `something?.prop` would do null checking on `something` before trying to access `prop` and then you could use `?:` (Elvis operator, haha) to check a null and do something if it was null, like `something ?: executed_if_null` and combining those would effectively deal with nulls in a simple and readable way.
?? looks like decent shorthand for:

bar if foo is None else foo

or perhaps more clearly:

foo if foo is not None else bar

Seems like it would save some typing.
@ithrow, yeah I know he is clearly biased which is why I don't really agree with him. I do however think it would have helped me to start using/learning before I needed it since the paradigm is so foreign to the relational model that is now second nature.

I think people are going to be more tech focused as a result of the pandemic. I notice that the majority of my meetings, even mundane meetings, are virtual rather than face-to-face for example.

The big difference that is happening currently is inflation, recession fears, and fear among the general public about financial turmoil. The entire situation has been very poorly handled by governments and institutions around the world who seem to have collectively pretended that nothing was wrong. In particular inflation has been poorly fought because a huge percentage of the left wing were insistent that public spending would not cause inflation, but did not have a chance to implement that public spending in the 2010s due to the rise of the far-right so have absolutely nothing to show for it except inflation. Now the US is trying to cause a recession so that inflation and economy instability can be brought back under some resemblance of control, but the US is still acting as if it's the only major economic power in the world - Asia for example has been far less hit by inflation and many countries (including India) are not predicting a recession.

You're clearly trolling someone. I guess I'm done wasting my time on you?

Your assertion is that 'pure water' will corrode copper pipe, so it needs to be 'impure' to not do so (using flouride of all things as an example?)

Yet, distilled water - which is as pure water as anyone will ever see outside a lab - doesn't do so to any meaningful extent. And you keep using various clearly inapplicable theory to try to prove a point that is clearly false in the real world.

This has nothing to do with steel wool, after all.

I have a few qualms with this app:

1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.

2. It doesn't actually replace a USB drive. Most people I know e-mail files to themselves or host them somewhere online to be able to perform presentations, but they still carry a USB drive in case there are connectivity problems. This does not solve the connectivity issue.

3. It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?

> Why do you believe against all evidence, that government owned and controlled companies can run at a lower cost that provate for profit companies?

Um, because "all evidence" points to the exact opposite of what you're saying?

A private company is trying to maximize profit. To the extent they minimize their costs they have no incentive to pass that on to any customers.

Empirically, if what you said was true, then the US would have the cheapest health care out of all the other OECD nations because it's run by "for profit private companies". Instead the US pays on average double, as a % of it's GDP.

> What, no shock about it having IPv4 support even though that was replaced when you were in 2nd grade :p.

IPv4 is still unfortunately relevant to almost every real world network, where address classes have been irrelevant to basically everyone for decades.
I've never understood this logic for webapps. If you're building a web application, congratulations, you're building a distributed system, you don't get a choice. You can't actually use transactional integrity or ACID compliance because you've got to send everything to and from your users via HTTP request/response. So you end up paying all the performance, scalability, flexibility, and especially reliability costs of an RDBMS, being careful about how much data you're storing, and getting zilch for it, because you end up building a system that's still last-write-wins and still loses user data whenever two users do anything at the same time (or you build your own transactional logic to solve that - exactly the same way as you would if you were using a distributed datastore).

Distributed systems can also make efficient use of cache, in fact they can do more of it because they have more of it by having more nodes. If you get your dataflow right then you'll have performance that's as good as a monolith on a tiny dataset but keep that performance as you scale up. Not only that, but you can perform a lot better than an ACID system ever could, because you can do things like asynchronously updating secondary indices after the data is committed. But most importantly you have easy failover from day 1, you have easy scaling from day 1, and you can just not worry about that and focus on your actual business problem.

Relational databases are largely a solution in search of a problem, at least for web systems. (They make sense as a reporting datastore to support ad-hoc exploratory queries, but there's never a good reason to use them for your live/"OLTP" data).
What led to the decline of Britain?
Britain's influence started to decline around the beginning of the 20th century. Other industrializing countries were posing an increasing number of challenges to Britain. While Britain observed a decline in its position as the world's leading naval power, Germany increased its naval strength.
Open source crypto protocols are completely irrelevant without connections to crypto companies.

There's this fantasy that crypto can replace money, and that you would therefore never need to trade it for real dollars. That's not going to happen, for reasons outlined in the article and because no medium of exchange that's deflationary can ever be a currency.

If it goes up in value over time, it's an investment and people won't spend it.

Will the open source be free forever? Sure. Whatever. Can people run nodes that burn electricity? Yup. Does that matter? In no way that's relevant to the general public.

Worse, even the crypto networks themselves are subject to issues with their authority: Enough bad actors who join can steal the value of a large percentage of the network.

When we're looking at potential theft of billions of dollars, you better bet that someone will invest the hundreds of millions required to rewrite the chain and take control of a large number of coins.

Then what? Then everyone will need to get together and act like a central authority to either rewrite the chain back to its state before the attack, in which case you do need to rely on a central authority, or you need to admit that _allowing untrusted nodes into a financial network is a Bad Idea._

"Censorship resistance" is irrelevant too, by the way.
Sounds about fair, assuming they agree to put you on a decent salary once they have more money. They've already validated the idea, now they need help executing. It's not the same level of risk when you start out from square one as it is when you start out from square zero.

You'd be essentially Employee #1 with a fancier title (and more sway if they take the C in your title seriously). If the amount of equity is important to you, you should go start your own startup from scratch. But if you like and trust the founders, and are excited about what you would be doing, then the equity is just a bonus for being a key player in getting the company successfully to its next stage.

Those immutable data structures of ZFS are implemented in C and C++, where everything is mutable. You're actually confirming kadoban's point: Mutable data structures can pretend to be immutable or partially immutable, so there can never be an immutable data structure that's faster than all possible mutable data structures.

And I'm pretty sure that if ZFS creates an updated version of some immutable node, under the hood it does this via something that resembles a memcpy() followed by a mutable modification of one or more struct members.
> earlier investments were based on the market than the fundamentals of the founding team, market, and product

False dichotomy
Nothing you’ve said has been intelligible. The actual creators of PiBox have posted saying essentially that they used Kubernetes because that’s what the team was already working with and preferred personally, while adding that other people might want to use other software for similar reasons.

In my toaster analogy, when asked “what did you accomplish with the toaster?” they responded with (I’m paraphrasing here) “A better toasting experience for the PiBox team because of our existing toasting skillset” more or less.

It was a response that was easily distilled into a single sentence and moved past. Somehow they conveyed that without calling people “haters” or “problems” and I genuinely think that is because that poster had a good grasp of Kubernetes and its use cases.

> If there's some kind of local support, you can issue a delay command to some device in the network that will switch the lights on, but you still need to be able to control that action as the user might want to cancel or adjust the delay too.

How many of them, and how well does the ecosystem support them in doing so? It's theoretically possible to write good code in any language, sure, but in practice the language (not just the formal syntax, but the tooling, ecosystem and community, the whole culture of the language) has a lot of influence on whether people write good or bad code in it.
That wouldn’t work in situations like this unfortunately. In the ethereum ecosystem the 0x0 address has a special meaning because it is used as the origin of things on chain when they are newly created (they are transferred from 0x0) and often also the destination of things when you want to destroy them (you “burn” something by transferring it to 0x0).

Fun part is as far as I understand this is just a convention and there is nothing intrinsic to 0x0 that makes it different from any other destination address. If someone was to find the private key for which 0x0 is the public half they would have access to a vast amount of stuff that has been transferred there over time. Finding this key is computationally unfeasible however.
We don't need anywhere near that much RAM per instance, and we have somewhat bursty traffic. Cloud is a decent fit. I'm willing to pay for the convenience, but that doesn't mean I won't cost-optimize.
