So this is primarily a problem with small companies, although you'll sometimes see it on teams when several people leave around the same time. The typical example is a non-VC backed small business, where a senior individual is hiring a junior person because that's all there's budget for at the moment.

But yes, its absolutely an anti-pattern, because as you've pointed out junior hires do need more oversight and help. I've rarely seen the situation work out.
Craft beers are generally just higher in alcohol content. You consume more alcohol, and have a worse hangover.
Agreed, it should have received much more testing.

However, in this case it being in the HTTP/2 standard is moot, since it's just a (premature) optimization and thus its removal results in a reasonable fallback, which is simply not using that particular optimization, and also because HTTP/3 is so far along already.

Not to get too tangential, but this seems similar to fetch removing support for reponse bodies for POST/PUT requests; a login POST, for example, might return information about the user's login or the state of the server, or even a per-tab/per-page token that isn't a cookie header, but fetch simply refuses to support it (even though XMLHttpRequest still does). Fetch removing this means that additional round-trips are needed, even over a multiplexed connection, and certain app designs are simply not possible. The solution seems to be to buck the trend and just use XHR instead of fetch, especially since fetch doesn't seem to be available on older Android Chrome (possibly 5-15% marketshare even now.)

"check something"? what is that something? Can it be found outside of your work apps?

When I check my work apps, I'm looking for stimulation, the feeling of being productive, etc. Once I find something that needs attention it's difficult for me to let go.

My strategy is, whenever I'm bored and want to check my email, is to notice that I'm bored (or whatever I'm feeling at the time) and redirect that feeling/energy elsewhere. Family, hobbies, vacation. To make sure that work doesn't capture me, I disable all work related notifications (when not working).

Next time you check your work stuff outside of work time really pay attention to your internal state to see what's causing you do it, even though you say you don't wan to.

I don’t get all the negative comments about 2 person teams. It happens in small companies and startups. You bring a domain expert and you also hire a junior or less senior person. And sometimes you don’t even need to hire more, the team can be super productive or the projects are as many as required for a team of 2.

Personal anecdote: I have done it twice as a manager and had great experience and collaboration both of the times (at least this is my take in both of them). The key is to not see yourself as a manager but more like a mentor and equal contributor to the projects. It also requires great communication skills and openness, as well as taking as many opportunities for new projects and cross team collaborations as possible, in order to not alienate the team as well as make the direct report feel that he can grow with you. Of course it happened that no bad experiences or bad hires happened in both my cases, but tbh i suspect the consequences would be small as small team usually means small projects. I have seen worse cases from bad hires, or bad collaborators in larger teams and way larger projects, which can also deteriorate the morale in more people and teams.
That data is looking over a 1985-1990 / 1950-1990 time period. I wonder what the numbers are now with modern emissions improvements 30 years later, which are pretty big now!

I currently have two stacked Lacks acting as a cheap homemade server rack. I have 2x 4U ontop the bottom table (not floating as they're doing in the article), with an older colour laser printer and 21" monitor, KVM, etc. on the top table. Underneath I have 2x1500VA UPSes.

It's been that way for years and I've moved it a few times. I think if you've seen them fall apart without any load, they're either the much newer ones that have been completely hollowed out, or they've been used in a rougher setting than "servers sitting statically on them for years."

I know quite a few home lab users who swear by them. One person I know even has a full triple stack (which seems unsafe to me personally) with his networking gear on top of the servers.
For me, code quality boils down to two aspects: (1) current operation cost and (2) future maintenance / alteration cost.

You can cut a lot of corners, as long as you don't paint yourself into a corner. OTOH an extra hour not spent today on doing the right thing may and will result in extra weeks and extra thousands of dollars spent in a few months.

So, its an appeal to nature then? Somehow, I doubt it'd make a difference if meter was derived from the total lengths of bishops mitres at parish (everyone knows how tall those hats are - relatable!).

Units are only "intuitive" because that's what you've internalized - similar to how the the golden age of music was when one was a teenager or young adult.
Physical buttons also give me positive control over a thing. Touchscreens are software inputs. I will never buy a vehicle that has software control over anything. Even cars made in the early 2000's stretch my limits. Software bugs, remote control and RF interference can change the state of software controlled devices. Even cars made a long time ago had some aspects of this. Some models of cars had cruise controls that could be manipulated by driving close and whistling into the microphone of a CB radio and a tiny linear amplifier of only 50 watts.

On a related note I would never own a vehicle that has software control over steering, drive train or brakes. This will be an unpopular opinion right now but I think it will sadly and unfortunately age well with time.

The Global Market For ADHD Medications (2007)

https://sci-hub.se/10.1377/hlthaff.26.2.450

> Several key issues are salient.

> First, objective tests for ADHD are lacking, a problem shared with most other psychiatric conditions. Guidelines for proper diagnosis must be followed, so that disorders with similar symptoms (such as conduct disorder or bipolar disorder) do not receive inappropriate stimulant treatment.

> Second, prescription rates of stimulants (and other psychotropic medications) have greatly increased, at least in the United States, even for preschoolers. About half of U.S. children and adolescents diagnosed with ADHD receive stimulant medications or related agents.

> Third, unintended side effects may accompany stimulant use. Most are mild, but public health concerns have arisen about the potential for negative cardiovascular effects and suicidal thoughts [this is relevant to PKD's history, note he died of a stroke, and had at least one suicidal episode]

> Fourth, questions abound about the potential for “diversion” of prescription stimulants to people without ADHD, related to improvement of study skills and possible euphoriant effects.

As far as the 'clincal reality' of ADHD, I'd argue that the scientific basis of psychiatric disorder classifications and the efficacy of treatments is not that clear, relative to say, a diagnosis of drug-resitant tuberculosis infection. For example, the entire serotonin theory of depression is now on shaky ground due to apparent fraud in historical studies. This doesn't mean anti-depressants and amphetamine derivatives don't provide some benefit to people, but the whole field's not on very solid ground.

My manager has ~14 reports. We're all on different projects every quarter and my manager knows nearly nothing about any individual project.

I see arguments for essentially the same problems from the article:

- Managers aren't reliant on the feedback or success of individual reports. >80% of people will always give positive feedback.
- Managers don't give feedback or help resolve problems. It's effort on their part with no upside.
- We're all still isolated because there is no consistent team.
- No one has context. Managers can't understand 10+ projects.
There's absolutely no necessity to shame anyone for being fat. You can be concerned about it with your friends and loved ones, and express that concern if the relationship you have is of a character where you're busybodies about each others' health. There are very few people in your life who would appreciate or desire that criticism from you.

The people being told to shut up about it are usually abusing strangers or enemies, and feel very abused and targeted for being criticized for targeting and abusing people. If you were talking about being fat with someone you obviously care about and cares about you, they'd take it in that spirit. If you shamed them for it, they'd hopefully end that fucked up abusive relationship. The only thing I would ever shame a loved one for is their abuse of other people. Otherwise, I want to lift them up, not tear them down.

Going through great pains to support EAC is a bit ridiculous. EAC itself is ridiculous from the get-go since it doesn't actually prevent cheaters it just pretends. It's not even meant to stop cheaters! Its entire purpose is to lock developers into Epic's proprietary system and prevent them from porting to non-approved platforms.

I agree that's it's not ok for this to be opt-out. And it's also not ok to show ads in system critical places like the App Store (at least without an option to disable them).

The analogy isn’t particularly applicable. If you engaged with many Walmart stores and they recorded that, it wouldn’t be tracking. If a Walmart agent followed you into Target and recorded what you did, it would be. The Facebook pixel and other status quo data practices in the online advertising marketing look a lot more like the second than the first. It seems valuable to engage with that as an especially bad practice.
That won't happen.

They will start to tax obesity foods (and in some places already have).

A lot of the reason that industrial food in America has such bad health characteristics is because it's cheaper. Filling things which taste bad because pre-prepaired, frozen, shelf-stable is hard to do with pleasing flavor without taking out most of the water and filling things with sugar, fat, and salt. Making it less affordable will make people make different choices, and scaling up other kinds of foods will make them at least a little cheaper.

I mean, no offense, but your tone comes off as an "I told you so" anti-alcohol comment, so I'd be careful criticizing others for their decisions. As other comments have mentioned, there are often plenty of enjoyable, social side effects that come from drinking alcohol with others in a common setting. Obviously alcohol isn't required (though, obviously people enjoy it - the taste, the side effect, whatever), but that's the way a fairly huge industry is setup in many countries.

Also, to clarify, drinking alcohol does NOT equate to making one's life shorter - that's not at all what the article discusses. Moderate drinking may have no effect, or even a positive effect, on life span.

> I exercise pretty extreme code quality in my work

I'd say maintain good code quality on your own project is much easier than within a team. It's like living in a house with different people: not everybody has the same standard regarding keeping the place tidy and clean, and compromises have to be made.

This was one of the biggest pain point for me, moving from my own personal projects to working with other people.

Probably both yes and no.

As of right now bitcoin depends pretty heavily on SHA256 and with hash functions being quite important cryptography primitives, there's always ongoing work on breaking them (tremendous upside to anyone who can manage to break common ones), so it's pretty feasible that eventually it will be broken. (We've already seen the fall of MD5 and SHA-1 in recent-ish years)

However, cryptocurrencies are a human system as much as they are a computing technology. If weaknesses start being discovered SHA256 or the EC signing of bitcoin, then in all likelihood they'd just fork the chain and upgrade the hash or signing mechanism.

Fcking politicians
For a large number of candidates it ends up being approximately 1/e (37%) chance of picking the best candidate, 1-2/e (26%) chance of picking another top candidate, and 1/e (37%) chance of picking a candidate of random skill. That last case occurs when the best candidate was among the first 37% of candidates, which are always rejected, then you run through the rest without finding a better one, and thus end up with the last one interviewed.

If you somehow still have to immediately hire or reject all candidates and care about expected average, instead of just finding the best candidate. The optimal solution will have you reject fewer candidates outright, and then have the criteria for how good a candidate should rank to get hired lower gradually throughout interviewing, and drop sharply towards the end of the candidate list.
