Material affluence for the majority has gradually shifted people’s orientation toward work—from what Daniel Yankelovich called an “instrumental” view of work, where work was a means to an end, to a more “sacred” view, where people seek the “intrinsic” benefits of work. “Our grandfathers worked six days a week to earn what most of us now earn by Tuesday afternoon,” says Bill O’Brien, former CEO of Hanover Insurance. “The ferment in management will continue until we build organizations that are more consistent with man’s higher aspirations beyond food, shelter and belonging.”

It's the modern-day version of United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc. where movie studios were banned from vertically integrating with theatres.

However I note on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pic.... that the decree has just been sunset with the reasoning that ""the antitrust restriction was no longer necessary as the old model could never be recreated in contemporary settings"" - but it seems really like the exact same model,

I think that its a really common subset of the human condition for otherwise smart people to think "doesn't apply to me" and "won't happen to me" and "never happened to me before" are more than just confirmation bias to "oh. it just happened"

A lot of the reddit "look at this funny electrical explosion ha ha ha" posts get qualified EE saying "this was not avoidable and they needed the PPE" or "this is way worse than it needed to be" or "they were stunningly lucky to escape" or "yea, you don't know the end outcome: they died of the burns"

Part of the problem is that some of the PPE is really unwieldy and I think people don't "like" using it because of how restricting it is to be fully suited up. Bad move.

I remember talking to an EE doing maintenance work on a Digital Equipment DEC-10 power supply room in 1980s. He removed wedding rings, watches, had plastic glasses, to even just go into the room. he was super, super paranoid about being within distance of the cabs, and always had the operations staff around when he went in. Totally not cavalier. I totally didn't "get it" at first, but after I saw what the room looked like (bare bus bars) I decided I never wanted to do power electrics, ever.

Some days just working behind normal 220v inputs to the rack of our machineroom in an SME (5 racks, raised floor, Liebert units and a 20KVA UPS) I wonder how many people know I'm inside this confined space, room with thick doors, noisy: I doubt they'd hear me fall, or cry out.

It's far too easy to allow "it hasn't happened yet" to lull you into a false sense of security.

I watched a Cray-1 400hz re-generator fuse explode in a machine room once, when the Cray installer technician said "oh, its jammed, let me just push this with a screwdri..."

He had a pretty good reset on OHS, we all were a bit stunned how close it came to an inquest.
Depends on if you mean direct-dependence or some ancestral-dependence. Contingent things can depend on other contingent things in some narrow scope. But a complete answer to "why X?" (e.g., "because Y") should avoid begging the question (e.g., "ok, why Y?").

Literally the first car I searched for to answer your question (audi s5) had starting prices:

2020 $51.9k

2021 $52.5k

2022 $55.3k

So, yes I can find such a car and it was quite easy. You should reconsider how likely people are to over-estimate the changes in prices compared to a systematic approach to tracking inflation like the BLS performs.

My recollection of the term incel is that it was a self-applied label, not one created from outside the group like your "involuntarily not rich" hypothetical. (Even in that example, though... who's going to tell you you're wrong if your theory is "nobody should simply expect to get rich for showing up and not putting in the work", exactly?)

As to whether or not that group is popular... this is an interesting one since the bonding factor is a lack of relationship success (which is closely related to, but not the same as, popularity) in the first place. But if you look at a lot of how the group that has gathered under that label interacts with the rest of the population... it's hard to say it's just something like mocking them for not being able to get laid. There are a lot of frankly offensive and violent theories pushed by people out there.

It's deeply ironic actually - "I'm not having sexual success, I'm going to start listening more to other men who also have the same problem, they're the ones who will be able to tell me about women." Back when it was a more ironic, non-violent "foreveralone" meme I was in the club... it wasn't increasing my exposure to men that eventually got me out of it.
My favorite cyclic theory so far is probably Roger Penrose's conformal cyclic cosmology. In essence the universe keeps expanding exponentially which in the end becomes equivalent to a new big bang since the universe at that point will loose all notions of scale due to their being no more particles to drive scale.

The main thing is that Italian pizza joints make a delicious pizza that's eaten hot and crispy by being put on your plate immediately after being freshly cooked in the (very probable) wood-fired oven.

Domino's have two main problems: one, their pizzas are made to a cheap price (not very tasty) and, two, if they are delivered they are not very hot and are quite soggy on arrival after some time in a box inside a carry-bag.
You're probably aware of this, but for the sake of others reading:

Crashing after an fsync failure isn't sufficient if you're using buffered IO either. Dirty pages in the page cache could cause your consensus implementation to e.g. allow voting for two different leaders for the same term if at some future point that machine crashes and the dirty page contained the log record for that vote. Your process would restart after the machine restarts and no longer have access to the dirty page and potentially vote again if asked.

Edit: Thought I'd add the series of steps for this to happen to make it clearer:

1. Process X receives an RPC from Process Y to vote for Y as leader in term 1.

2. Process X writes log record containing vote information to page cache and calls fsync.

3. Process X receives EIO in response to fsync (if it is lucky...) and crashes.

4. Process X restarts and receives a retry of the same RPC from Process Y for term 1 and this time it responds affirmatively because it can see it already voted in term 1 for Process Y, which _should_ be safe.

5. Process X crashes because the machine hosting X experiences a temporary hardware failure.

6. Process X restarts after the hardware failure and receives an RPC from Process Z and responds affirmatively because the dirty page that was available back at T4 never actually made it to disk.

Consensus is now (potentially) broken from electing two leaders for the same term.

It doesn't really have anything to do with time. The "sustainment" question is different from the "causal" question. Causal questions are typically temporal and past-looking. Sustainment is a question about "now", always.

Thank you for this @lbotos. Reflecting on why I don't turn to my manager for this has yielded some valuable insights... specifically I think we have some policies in place that _strongly_ disincentivize demonstrating vulnerability. Thus bringing managerial level problems to my manager comes with more risk than is comfortable. Perhaps what I'm seeing is the effect of this policy across the engineering organization.

On the lighter side, the luna/jackbox suggestion is fantastic. We'll definitely give that a try. Thank you.
Presumably you don't bribe the sysadmins in the US making six-figure salaries. Instead you bribe the outsourced moderators in Kenya who get paid $2/hour to wade through beheading videos to just occasionally misclick.

And presumably you don't pay the bribes directly - you hire a 'reputation management consultant' who takes care of all the dirty work. Then if the news comes out, you can claim you thought they were improving your reputation by sponsoring orphanages or something.

You’re primarily watching one show? Realistically, any streaming service has a chance at providing that, no?
Same. It’s worth noting Disney only has a single plan which includes 4K, HDR, Atmos, etc, and in the UK is far cheaper - Netflix charge nearly £200 a year for their 4K plan (£15.99 x 12). Disney is less than half that on a yearly plan for £80.

Netflix is just simply massively overpriced now, in my opinion, even before you dive into the massive content advantage Disney have - almost everything ever made by Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, National Geographic and the then the massive Star catalogue, which actually has a ton of decent movies and tv shows, new and old. Content is obviously highly subjective, but I lost track of the amount of times I’d open Netflix and spend 10 minutes struggling to find something worth watching in their annoying UI.

Something I was disappointed (but not surprised) to never see take off outside a few niche areas and closed systems like payment card terminals was personal smartcard readers.

Even reasonably affordable ones commonly have a 16x2 or 16x4 LCD screen. While today's protocols and drivers don't inherently tie together the data being signed with a string shown on the screen, appropriate design of protocols could enable this - then you'd have a hardware reader with PIN pad, where your PIN isn't seen by the computer, and with a screen showing you exactly what domain you are logging into, or which action you're approving.

You can implement webauthn on a smartcard just fine as well (there are open source applets for it I believe) - just a shame that hardware readers with trusted displays never really took off on desktop PC! Then again for "just login" like in webauthn, really the domain is the only thing seen. A rogue local browser app can prompt you to authenticate for an arbitrary domain, but it's challenge/response based so the attack needs to happen in real-time.

That’s wild. Netflix makes so many more shows that are well received than Apple TV. Apple TV is tiny relatively speaking.

Amazon, HBO Max, maybe Discovery+, make enough content for streaming in enough quantity (so there’s enough higher quality stuff) that Apple TV can’t easily surpass them.

Some shows are basically streaming shows now any way even if they technically go on HBO at 11 pm or something (thinking of something like Nathan Fielder’s own show and the show he exec produces).
Wow that is a big difference on Aluminum. I was looking at the US prices myself, and my first thought was I bet I could add shifter levers on that single speed myself and save 2 grand. The EU prices make much more sense.

That's poor management by your network hardware. (could be your modem, router, ISP, etc) I ran two zoom meetings on my 1.5MBit DSL connection before I got Starlink and it worked fine. Or I could run Netflix and a Zoom meeting. Never did try to push it much past that. But on 100mbps, there's something else wrong there that you can only get one more connection than my shitty DSL line lol.
Thanks for the in-depth reply! I guess I'll start out by copying some Hoocho videos.

I guess it depends on the kind of manager it was; it might or might not be an EM, or a highly technical EM might or might not have been appropriate. If you have 25 years of experience, even if you're still an IC you should probably have some direct relationships with non-technical managers, especially if you're working in frontend and B2C. You might not even have a technical manager depending on the company size.

I have fielded plenty of similar questions from technical EMs, and even CTOs, when it's way outside their area of expertise.

I've also seen ICs give similar answers to the author to the mild shock of the manager, who then has to gently respond with something like "well, John mentioned in the standup today that he noticed 10s p99 spikes on the cart page, while investigating what Paula from the BI team reported in the planning meeting yesterday, that abandoned items are up 30% in the past month..."

Yes, the Turks also put their hands in the boiling pot, but only the British were arrogant enough to try to turn these regions into countries with neat, straight borders and also with western style governments. Which destroyed local alliances and created a massive power vacuum when the empire fell. Then, the us and Russia had a go of it, which certainly didn’t calm the situation.

Mostly my group talks on teams, mix of audio and an ad hoc group channel. The ad hoc one is better for getting used to each other. Occasionally people meet at conferences.

The rest of the quote is "at your bus driver". Most people would agree that the bus driver has a right to do their job without being the victim of verbal abuse, even if they are a public employee. In this case the crime is "verbally abusing the bus driver", and if the contents of that speech include racial slurs then there could be an add-on offense for hate speech.

If you are just yelling obscenities at your friend in the driveway then it is a different situation.
Yeah, sure! The game is called Torn. It is a text-based MUD style game. People use lots of tools/scripts when playing it to improve things. Some mobile exclusive users do actually make use of apps like Kiwi on their Android phones in order to install userscripts and extensions. However some people have Apple devices (probably regretably) and as such are limited to less powerful solutions. Luckily someone made Torn PDA [1,2] which helps bridge this gap and give you some powerful tools that you can even use on iOS. If Apple was less restrictive with their browser it may be possible to do more in the browser without needing to resort to these in-app "hacks".

How are people so utterly naive as to think Facebook would not be awash in terrorism, calls for death etc. if it were not censored?

People are rightly upset Facebook is being used to forment ethnic wars in other countries, if you think things are 'bad' now, imagine what FB would be like unfettered?

'Here I am cutting off the heads of XYZ group, please send money!'

All systems will be abused, and the systems to censor them will be abused ... so we have to do our best with all of that.

It's a bit ridiculous all of this is happening, that OnlyFans guy should probably be in jail.
The joke here is that many companies parroted a lot of "cool" stuff from FB/GOOG like open office, Agile, etc. without understanding that such stuff actually decreases productivity, and that hasn't been an issue for FB/GOOG only because they take in top performers from top universities and have business model to print money at $1.5M+/employee/year. The parroting companies don't have such employees and don't have such business model, and for them those parroted things cause very noticeable harm, and to mentally reconcile that situation they conclude that they "aren't doing those things right" and thus double-down on that parroting thus increasing the harm even further.
Oh that makes sense, inflation being first deriv is what I wasn’t catching. Thank you.

Why would the public need multiple distributors for the same content?

Theaters take tons of staff and logistics to operate. A streaming service is comparably simple (once the initial system is setup) and can deploy all content to all customers within seconds with the efforts of minimal people and overhead.
You probably have to assume there is a necessary substrate. What else can you possibly think? Contingency means being contingent on something else. You could suppose that the "something else" is itself contingent, but then you have another contingency. At some point you will likely take it for granted that there must be something that is itself not contingent and that the rest of the stuff downstream turns on it being the way it is.
I was actually referring to background job workers in my comment. Queuing is still queuing, whether its request queuing due to a shortage of web workers or job queuing due to a shortage of job workers.

Yes, there are more levers one can pull for job workers, and it's probably easier to horizontally scale those workers than web workers for various reasons. But regardless of which workers are performing the long-running I/O, there's still a hard bottleneck imposed by the number of available workers. They're still going to inefficiently block while waiting for the I/O to complete. The bottleneck hasn't been truly eliminated; it's just been punted somewhere else in the application architecture where it can be better mitigated.

Background jobs may be the most elegant solution for handling long-running I/O in a typical Rails app, but that's still less elegant than simply performing those requests inline and not having to worry about all the additional moving parts that the jobs entail.
I've worked through two other crashes before this one, the dot-com in the late 90s and the GFC.

So far this one feels different in the sense that people aren't getting laid of. Demand still seems to exist for software engineers.

Neither of the previous crashes involved high inflation either.
