I don’t know where that was but it’s at least a decade late for the United States - by 1998, Amazon was profitable in multiple markets (that year they reported $610M in revenue) and a ton of other companies, non-profits, and government agencies were seeing plenty of traffic. Here’s a list even earlier:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_websites_founded_befor...

In 1998, I was working for a web design business which had a mix of startups and established companies (a couple of F100s and some F500s, as well as smaller local companies). None of those were “web” companies - they sold things like pet supplies or knives, offered financial services, did biomedical research, etc. but what they all had in common was that they benefited from being on the web because their customers were moving there and they could offer them a better experience and/or lower costs this way.

That still hasn’t happened for cryptocurrencies despite a much larger potential customer base, lower barriers to entry, and twice as much time. If Bitcoin abruptly halted today, almost no businesses outside of the field would even notice and the few who did would mostly be removing the least used payment option on their site. That’s the difference: there’s been just as much marketing, the same level of squandering VC money on Super Bowl ads and stadium naming rights, etc. but there doesn’t seem to be anything more than that sizzle this time.

Regarding Google – we're planning to introduce other methods later this week.

Regarding credit card process – that's understandable. Unfortunately, that's the most robust way we know to measure how many people would buy a subscription.
They have started providing some answers: https://mitp-content-server.mit.edu/books/content/sectbyfn/b...

There are other sources on the web with answers. For example, https://sites.math.rutgers.edu/~ajl213/CLRS/CLRS.html

Often you can find some solutions to problem sets on course pages that use the book.

I agree that it would be better to provide solutions, but not all textbooks are written to be used in self-study. I don't know enough about CS to offer up any concrete recommendations, but there are math books that come with worked problems (e.g., https://www.springer.com/series/3423) and other math books that don't have worked problems (https://www.springer.com/series/666).

The same way its allowed to provide any other product or service, like security (police), transportation (roads), etc.

There is no reason it can't offer other things, and often in many other places, do. The state is perfectly capable of doing things effectively, but we've conditioned ourselves to believe it can't because corporate America has wanted it that way due to the sheer terror of being out-managed by the state/municipal option (they can't gouge as flagrantly or impose endless layers of their own bureaucratic middle men, so they accuse the government via the dumbest projection).

The state sucks for many reasons, but often for the same reasons corporations do; bad leadership and defection from purpose, often in the process of avoiding transparency. Either can suck, and picking one over the other just because of an ideological crutch is daft.
"TV dinners bad for you" sounds an awful lot like "Walmart shopping liked to early mortality". Entirely believable, but I have my doubts anyone could untangle the confounding sociological factors.

Note that, on expensive "sporty" cars, it's considered a feature to have louder, deeper, & more-muscular exhaust sounds.

Was that rendered in real time, though?
Currently working on https://kubirds.com , a Cloud-Native Supervision Engine. Think alerting similar to Nagios/Icinga/Centreon but as a Kubernetes Operator which can run almost any Docker image.

We are also building on top of this a trading bot with a FinTech company, and a SaaS website monitoring service for non-tech people.

We are also considering building, still on top of Kubirds, a No-Code notification automation/aggregation platform -> https://1-click-notify.carrd.co/

It looks nice, but, but, but... Are there plans for a desktop version, ideally something that could work without an internet connection? I fail to see why an app like this would require a server to be involved other than just at the moment of syncing between devices. And even then just to negotiate a handshake. If syncing is the only justification, having such a subscription fee seems unreasonable to me as a potential customer. And I don't even need sync.
Does chromebook classify as linux? I had mac laptop, but granted I could not do anything in the shell, but just "remote" into an actual (or provided through ganeti ) machine, it was forbidden to check out locally on your laptop (makes sense).

But clearly remember my team at LAX (part of Ads-Quality) had mix of mac, linux and I think two or three people windows laptops... But all were dumb terminals. Also taht was 2014-2017
Funny, considering most game animals are color-blind.
That is insane. Why not also sue the landlords of Visa and Mindgeek offices, and the makers of cars their employees drive to work? Obviously if they sold cars and rented office space to these companies, they must have intended to help!
If a CEO or other C-level sets some targets, then you’d think they would be held accountable for missing them. But from what I’ve seen, this is very rare. So the board is just as responsible for what happens as the CEO.

I have seen cases where the board holds executives accountable, and that results in a better company lead by competent executives. But that kind of accountability is unusual in small companies because the board and executives are often one and the same group.

If there’s anything I’ve learned over my career it’s that the theoretical structure of a company has no inherent relationship to reality. If the CEO, chairman and board members are all mates then they will pat each other on the back until well after the iceberg has ripped a hole in the side of the ship.
How does one even begin to start learning about this subject? This is quite fascinating, I've always wanted to learn about OSes, the underlying mechanisms... all of that. The sheer depth of knowledge and technical-know how is truly incredible. I find it hard to even begin, there's so many resources out there.
I was hoping to see some of those ideas on the front page, and not a screenshot of potentially made-up ideas...
Sideberry has a snapshot feature! I didn't write about it in the article but it's another huge reason why it's great.

It stores your tabs in the panel properly. Additionally, you can also set it to save your tabs every [INTERVAL] as a backup system.

Personal attacks are not cool here.

> ... because otherwise you'd make the trivial effort required to discover that Vienna or Singapore do not look like the Warsaw Pact.

I know they don't look like the Warsaw Pact. But the policy that Barrin92 is proposing sounds like Vienna, but also sounds like the Warsaw Pact. In one place it works; in one place it produced monstrosities.

My question is: If we adopt this policy, why do we think we're going to get Vienna's outcome instead of the Warsaw Pact's?
>>In combat, camouflage is really the VERY last line of defense possible

Current military member here. It is also the first line of defense against fratricide. It means your friends can tell you from the not-friends. A distinct pattern, unique to your organization, is what stops aircraft from dropping on you. So as current patterns trickle out into private hands, eventually every military organization needs to update its look.
This one never did anything for me. But then, I was never into scrolling things with pictures, much more into reading text.

Do you know why it worked for you?
I would love to see more integrated workspace tools. Combining calendar, notes, todo is a good start. But i my needs are from source material to documents and presentations. I use currently vscode for this need using (common-) markdown as preferred notes format and lately using csv for tabular data and excalidraw for visual notes. As a teacher and working in different research projects i work mostly with external partners, so everybody brings his own tools and data formats...

I like it because i can open a lot of files within the same application (pdf's, images, excel), unfortunately some formats need an external viewer (word, eml). I try to gather all data to my project folders. With every other notetaking tool i have to switch between a lot of different applications, because my notes are mostly based on other documents, communication or internet research (text, image, video, audio).

---

Some of the plugins and integrated applications i use:

- Vscode has todo applications that can gather all '- [ ] Todo's and add them to the sidebar, so i have an overview of all my project's.

- I use Marp (with some markdown-it plugins) to generate presentations from my markdown files (building the files). Using Pandoc i can convert them to Word/PDF files (based on templates). Pandoc can also convert some formats to markdown.

- I can download most websites and integrate it into my notes for offline (and future) reading using MarkDownload. I wrote a script that downloads linked images. github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui is good to download integrated videos.

- I use syncthing to sync the data across my NAS, desktop and notebook.

---

What i am missing:

- Viewers for file formats that are not yet supported (currently word & eml).

- Collaborative editing of notes (github or similar is a possible solution with it's web editor)

- Realtime collaborative editing (currently i can copy to another editor, edupad.ch)

- Sync my meetings (date-time) i write down in markdown into my calendar (course-planning). I'm currently working on a ical generator for that reason, also to share calendar data to students or partners.

- Integrating my bookmarks into the work process would be good as well.

edit: fix layout
Oh, interesting. I scrape GitHub's APIs to generate user and repositories statistics data, then compress it with ZStandard to allow the databases to fit within GitHub's file size restrictions.[1] So, this is very relevant to me.

It's pleasantly surprising how much data you can fit within a ZStandard-compressed SQLite database. The two technologies fit very well together.

Takeovers and special circumstances aside, "promote, don't hire externally" should be way more common and the prefered approach (imo).
I think there's a three question protocol that should work reasonably well.

Q1: Do we actually need this CxO role?

Q2: Who will report to this CxO?

Q3: Why can't we promote from the pool from the answer to Q2 instead of hireing externally?
That is explicitly not their reason. They want platform parity, as they specify in the article.

Moving from native to react native will almost certainly be slower (unless something in their native app is just very broken).

I had to swipe back and check the comments so unless their intention is to filter for people who already think all three are evil it's a huge distraction. I think it was a poor choice for the author because Musk and Bezos might under-deliver or deliver late sometimes, but they are not outright convicted frauds with a tendency to lie pathologically, and using that name kind of poisons the well that Bezos and Musk are in no? Holmes can't really be considered an innovator or inventor of any kind.
Removing light reduces vision. Color-blind people pick up all the photons, they just don't distinguish them.
it isn't really. Eastern bloc housing looks butt ugly but it was cheap and equitable. Singapore's just richer and probably hired an interior designer. The problems start when you try to centrally manage every box of cornflakes you make, not national infrastructure.

I'll go one further and tell you there is no such thing as free market housing and never has been, just like there's no free market submarine or free market interstate highway. These are big governmental and corporate projects and at best the market shuffles the occupants around after the fact. Every project like that is communist even in the good old US of A, just don't run the entire country that way and you're golden.
Also rans? Are you implying that thr U.S. and Japan are "behind" Taiwan? If so, I don't think that is very accurate. The machines that allow Taiwanese companies to create computer circuits come from a Dutch company ASML (with the second most advanced machines coming from Nikon Japan).

ASML's machines have over 4,000 parts in their own supply chains. Many of these are high technology which even ASML does not know how to produce. Many of them come from the U.S. and Europe. The EUV process ASML uses in its most advanced machines was only possible due to investments made by the U.S. government and U.S. companies.

What is happening here is not an attempt by the U.S. and Japanese governments to compete with Taiwan. It's an investment to ensure the next generation of lithographic technology plays out much like the current generation. Meaning the U.S. it's allied governments and many of their respective companies invest enough to acquire leverage over the technology and thus are able to locked China and other countries out of it.

Fabrication is far easier to catch up than bootstrapping. If a country started today, they could subsidize fabrication and within eighteen months they could be making strides to deliver more chips from within. It might literally take a decade or two for a new company to build ASMLs supply chains and replicate one of their machines and that would be 10-20 with no production growth, they would just at that point be getting started.

But does hiring for merit really makes sense at C level?

Ideally a C level executive should have deep connections with government/large companies.

This is how entire capitalism functions at the moment. Connections make you money, not merit.

Even if you hire the best CEO there is, without connections there is no possible way to make money. How do you think people get good contracts for their companies?
There are also extensions that block all recommendations. Makes YouTube a much calmer experience. Go watch one video. Now...you are done.

If it's obstructionism it's passively so. They've done nothing to actively obstruct. They've also done nothing to help. When they say they don't support it they're not kidding, they don't just mean capital-S support.

If I had to put a label on their stance, it'd be "chaotic neutral".

As an employer, I have seen low-performing employees resign because they found a senior/management/VP-level title elsewhere, and I think “well, good for you, I suppose”… I imagine people like this just fail their way up, learning enough jargon along the way to impress the next employer.
We're planning to introduce a desktop app with offline mode a bit later.

Regarding syncing – it'll still be required for syncing between devices and Google calendar integration. Google calendar sync is being done on backend as it's the most stable way from our experience.

Kent Beck's Test Driven Development by Example and Xtreme Programming Explained are delightful books that deserve a place on this list.
Me too, I usually have a make “up”, “services” and “test” that do docker “compose up —detach", “docker compose down —volumes” and “rm -rf” temp dirs and run tests with whatever language i’m using. Saves a free brain cycle when switching languages. Sometimes a “data” target for downloading raw data from the internet for stuff like GIS projects.

I never work in C or other languages that actually require the dependency management that make supports.
I dealt enough with C-Level (was one myself some 20+ years ago). They come in all kind of shapes. One was very entertaining. Whenever I try to schedule something with him he would look into his book and start reciting - in 3 days I am of to Hawaii for vacation, in 5 days I am driving my kid to XYZ championship, in 7 days I am driving my other kid to art classes, I am off to my pilot's classes etc. etc. I just prayed - please, please do not tell me that you've scheduled sex tomorrow at 3PM. I've had enough details of you private life to last me lifetime and when the fuck do you actually work?
One of the greatest joys of my life is going on gleeful rampages of Ctrl+w tab annihilation! Lots of times, I'll end up with just two open tabs: devdocs.io and the local development version of my own namesake :)
While your point about jealousy is a good one, MBA-ification is real and has real consequences, many of which might reasonably provoke frustration

I do agree the anger is ideally channeled into some attempt to productively frame, understand and solve the problem, but dismissing it all as sour grapes doesn't seem very helpful either

I saw the issue pithily summarized recently:

> Salesmen, in any field other than sales, are like an invasive species who outcompete the natives with their superior social polish, but who struggle to actually do anything, which leads to systemic underperformance and the erosion of trust, which only makes the competitive necessity of salesmanship even greater

We need to build social systems which don't select preferentially for relentless salespeople and smooth talking charlatans if we want to live in a prosperous, harmonious society. The optimal proportion of these is in all likelihood not zero, but does anyone believe it's as high as we see now?
Why democracies specifically?
Some college CS departments have courses in OS development. If that's not an option, I'd start with a textbook like Operating Systems: Design & Implementation, aka the Minix book, since it documents the development of the Minix operating system.

My assumption before reading: barrels and barrels of pesticides.

Article: barrels of pesticides, yes, but also well-designed landscape architecture.

I'm curious what's the bigger factor. Also, does layering the approaches have a bigger effect than you'd expect if you summed the effects individually, or a smaller one?
You cant really surround a 2 dimensional/grid city with mirrors because the perimeter is further from the interior.

I think you can make a lot of arguments why a single city could in fact be cheaper than many smaller ones. Most boil down to efficiency of scale. 1 large transit system vs many. One large desalination plant vs many, one power grid instead of many, ect

Muzzle flash is a HUGE problem with modern ar-15 style rifles. You won't get 100% efficiency until something like 22-26 inch barrels, but that's a VERY long gun to be using (and even those have muzzle flash).

With all the urban combat, there's a push toward shorter and maneuverable. In something short like the 10.5" M4A1 CQBR, flash becomes a much bigger problem (especially in dark rooms where it can be positively blinding to the shooter).

A suppressor helps with this issue, but it also starts adding back length to the gun (somewhat defeating the purpose).

300 blackout supposedly helps the problem (I've never shot it from a SBR) and also has better short-range (esp subsonic) ballistics compared to 5.56, but it too has muzzle flash.

The newly selected Army XM5 rifle and cartridge were designed for super-high pressures and achieving high speeds in a short barrel likely causing even more muzzle flash. Thankfully, this rifle is going to be suppressed for everyone by default. Unfortunately, it's super heavy (and that's without the super-heavy optics), has less ammo per magazine, and despite the goal, is still going to be blocked by higher-level body armor, and is still 36" in a SBR configuration (for comparison, the Israeli CTAR-21 is 30% shorter at just 25" providing rifle firepower in a SMG package).
That seems like a movie plot threat: who’s going to go to library school, pass a background check (government job, access to children), and actually do a job which isn’t easy and doesn’t pay anywhere near enough just in the hopes that someone will walk in the door with enough money to be worth scamming in a manner which is both obvious and easily traced to them?
most times i see people get into fights there's their friends around so nobody pulls a weapon and to break it up if somebody goes down so people don't start kicking the other guy or whatever. it's a controlled way to resolve differences and tbh i don't get why people don't like it. like if it's 1 person jumping another that's different but i've got friends i fought with first and friends i fought with so we stayed friends after.

Doesn't it go: 'don't be seen, if you're seen don't be acquired, if you're acquired don't be hit, if you're hit don't be penetrated, if you're penetrated don't be killed'? Camouflage ('don't be seen') is the first layer on the onion, not the last!
