While the article is a bit bland, I do find it interesting to hear about how other people deal with stress, and I can imagine that running a company like Meta would be filled with stress.

And, given the sheer number of accents, getting the pronunciation wrong is not that big of a deal either, especially if you do it consistently. Native speakers adapt very quickly.

The real problem is understanding English spoken by those native speakers in all their accents...

The Portland Loo – Designed by the city, for the city
I was trying to find sent mail and only way I found it was by searching mail where I was the sender.

Smart but not obvious.
I'm a US Citizen and have been working remotely from Taiwan for the last 6 years. The first 3 I was working mostly on "solo" projects and pretty much only did async communication except for the occasional once-a-month meetings late my time / early US time. I thought it worked great.

The 4th and 5th year I was working full-time as an IC an actual US-based team from about 3pm - 12am Taiwan time. Not great, but still manageable and allowed for 3-4 hours of overlap with CST.

Now I'm working in a Tech Lead role (small company w/ 5 person dev team) with a split schedule of 10am-2pm and 7pm - 12am. I've noticed at this stage that I'm struggling a lot more with the time zone difference and it's really starting to have an impact on my family now that my son is 2 years old and wants a more "natural" schedule.

Personally, I'd target small companies on the east coast if you enjoy working nights, and west coast if you enjoy getting up early. In your soft interviews, stress your great communication skills beyond anything else.
These debates always follow the same path - compare mac to crappy windows laptop of half the price, then compare to retail price of a decent windows laptop, then compare to street price of a decent windows laptop.

In reality if you are paying out of your own pocket the best value is to keep an eye on the refresh cycle for decent windows laptops and buy the previous generation at a heavy discount when the latest one comes out. This obviously assumes you aren't needing a new laptop asap, rather just upgrading for whatever reason.
The closest has been the book I'm reading (and should have finished by now) - "Why the west rules for now". No book drives the 'geography is destiny' point home as well as this book. It is one of the rare textbooks that is a delight to read. Lastly, the anecdotes highlight the 'history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes' adage in a uniquely convincing manner. It is one of the few books I see recommended on both center-left (r/askhistorians) and center-right (IDW) platforms.

Catch-22 is another such delightful book without a single fault. It is a cliché now, but it must have been a revelation to see a book capture such a fundamental idea so perfectly through anecdotes. No wonder the title of book became a phrase to represent the phenomenon itself.

Somewhat disappointingly for hipsters, most English language classics are classics for a reason. There are plenty of discerning readers out there, so good books with moderate resources eventually reach a level of deserved critical acclaim. That being said, there is still a lot of underappreciated foreign-language literature yet to be fully appreciated.
I tried subscribing to blinkist with this idea of learning a bunch of new things, ...and all I learned was that the only books I enjoy reading are the ones too dense and technical to skim through for key points.
Russian lacks articles entirely, like most Slavic languages.
Hopefully such propaganda works well in this case then!

One would hope your religion has more impact on it's followers than a box of hair dye.

The heirarchal ordering of some faiths, the commitment to truth, the belief in the veracity of the written word, the ability to support monastic orders are all functions of a society that believes. The belief that the individual speaks the truth and should be listened to, are the mechanisms that allow science to flourish.

Some scientists act as if you can have that without the faith. They focus only on the parts of history which support the contemporary scientist view that if we could just free ourselves from the whacky religionists we could get on with the /real/ science, which is nearly always an idea that reflects a minor variation on what has already come before.

If only the scientist knew the history ideas (including faith), could we have new things and not retreads of some millenia-dead philosopher.
I completely agree. We operate in a space where we rent out our proprietary software to businesses to solve a mundane business requirement. We wrote our own software.

We compete with other companies, some have their own (or some exclusivity) others make use of a generic package (closed source, but they supply anyone who wants to be in this space.)

Yes, having unique software means we can do things others can't. But really we're selling "the whole package" of which the software is only a tiny part. Mostly our customers are paying for service, support, statutory updates and so on. They are paying us to be around when they need us. That may be tomorrow, or 10 years from now, but our existence ultimately matters to them.

Maybe one day there will be viable OSS in our space, it may already exist. But if it does, no-one here is selling it, or supporting it. If someone does make it we, and any number of our existing compeditors, can happily pivot to it, with our existing sales and support infrastructure.

It turns out that having a unique product helps our sales process. We can differentiate on more than just price. But ultimately customers want support not source code.
Photopea is not OSS, it is freeware Web App.
The idea makes sense for work, but I don't buy that biking leisurely makes you move the same speed. What made the biggest difference for me was training, and the author maybe got faster from all the hard riding before testing the easy riding.

I also used to ride that Santa Monica path all the time, and there are some tight turns with sand on the path. Maybe biking hard then wasting energy braking on those turns negatively impacted the time, but idk, there aren't enough of those turns to make a big difference.

Actually Portable Awk
Infrastructure has a bit of a tragedy of the commons thing going on. No one wants to pay for everyone else's infrastructure.

So any software project that is infrastructure tends to suffer from lack of funding, whether it be proprietary software or open source.

There are exceptions, naturally. E.g., PostgreSQL and SQLite, and Linux. To overcome the tragedy of the commons you need tons of interest and community. Everyone who contributes has to feel like they're getting their money's worth and that there's no better way. I.e., mindshare matters. Mindshare matters whether the thing is open source or proprietary.
My $3.3m Mistake (2009)
I’m confused…

There are no rows in the table for proprietary software that hasn’t been OSA’d, and the rows that are there take no head of market size or adoption rates of the alternative.

Therefore the chart can only possibly trend downwards because the X axis is a date from the past until ‘today’ and the y axis is the number of days since that date that something pretty arbitrary happened.

Think of the X axis as “Days Since 1970” (0 - ~11,500). The maximum Y value is bounded by y = 11,500 - x.

There is a rather long history of wind being used to transport goods, with horses as a backup when you must transport people or things in any weather regardless of waterways nearby.

It doesn't seem so much that it is a legal currency, but all the chaos and suffering the push to make it the primary currency is causing. When headlines talk about bitcoin mining hubs using geothermal energy, people are reading energy price hikes and worsening deficit as more energy is imported, and that they don't get to benefit because they don't get to own the miners. And a 'small loss relative to the country's balance sheet' would make an absolutely huge difference if that loss had instead been spent on education or health. The discretionary spending in most countries is 'small relative to the country's balance sheet'.

Gmail quality dropped off a cliff all of a sudden. In particular, many many emails get sent to spam now, including emails sent by Google itself! Notifications about calendar invites regularly get sent to spam at inconvenient times.

I can't tell if this is just some sort of temporary spam filter tweaking error and oversight or an emergent property of a content-based filtering system that they won't revert.

> I don’t see the economy as charity and I prefer to donate money to overtly non-profit entities rather than donating to “I am willing to make you less money” for-profit entities.

Somewhat counterintuitively, "I am willing to make less money" can be unusually effective, if the difference in how much money you're making is small enough. The intuition is that in non-fully-competitive settings, the creation of quasi-rents has quadratic costs on the economy as a whole, much like any other tax. So giving up a tiny bit of quasi-rent in an elastic market has outsized positive effects.

100% this. Pre-K8s I’ve done EC2 auto-scaling with ansible and packer, our own in-house healthcheck framework (https://github.com/hootsuite/health-checks-api), our own rolling deploys, our own in-house service discovery (https://medium.com/hootsuite-engineering/how-our-service-mes...), our own in-house udp logging to an ELK stack (https://github.com/hootsuite/udp-logger), our own init scripts, etc. It was a lot more complexity for us to manage than K8s, far more bugs/issues, far less uniform across teams/services. We switched to mesos, then K8s, and K8s was the simplest by far. My new company also uses K8s, and it’s also overall easier to manage with fewer issues than any alternative I’ve used.

I think if you’re a small org with just a few devs and one or a handful of services, sure, K8s is overkill. But for a decent sized dev org, it’s probably way better and significantly simpler than what you’d rollout without it.
Я evolved from the letter Ѧ, the pronunciation of which happened to match that of Ꙗ (that is, a digraph IA, representing the iotated A sound) in Eastern Slavic languages very early on. Its handwritten cursive version looked like this:

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%AE%D1%81_%D0%BC%D0%B0%D0%B...

From there the transformation into "Я" is obvious. And it happened gradually over time long before Peter; he just happened to look at various different shapes already in use during his time, picked the one that looked the simplest and the most appealing to him, and (sometimes) did further minor tweaks to simplify.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the shape of the letter "R".

I agree it is a simple plausible explanation and Occam's Razor argues that simple explanations are the most likely. So yes maybe it is the most likely explanation. But that is not the same as saying we know it is the explanation.

Big Bang itself is a counter-intuitive explanation: Something came out of nothing.
> Now, this analogy does not work at all, because going by the painting in the museum in no way implies you would want it at home.

You are talking from a buyer's perspective (the museum visitor) whereas he is talking from the seller's perspective (the museum / artist). The seller hopes that by allowing you free or cheap access to the art, you may be tempted to buy a copy of it or some memento of it (which is one of the ways museums / artists make money).
pros: great interface, love it

My finish/start ratio is something around 15%. I consider it as a feature and not a bug. It’s the price I have to pay in order to unearth good books that cater to my taste.

Also, I have made peace with the fact that I will never be able to read all the good books. It’s a tough pull to swallow but that’s just the way it is unless I spend stupendous amount of time reading which I won’t so it’s OK.
>> That's some strong personal opinion... source?

It's absolutely personal perception. Ford made a couple millions Pintos, I never had one, much less saw one explode in a fireball, but I'm not rushing out to buy one either.

My perception is borne from a long history of reading stories here. Over time they create a perception in me that Google regularly drops products, changes APIs, changes pricing, closes accounts, withholds earnings and so on.

I'm sure millions of people happily use their services. However my perception of risk with Google is high, so as a result I don't use any (paid) Google services and I take my business elsewhere. Obviously I use Google search, and watch YouTube, but I'm happy to not put Google in my supply-chain, nor rely on them for revenue.

Now maybe it's just bad PR. Maybe Google has real lower risk than say someone else. Maybe Pintos were statistically safer than a Volvo. But perception is everything, and my perception is that, given a choice, I'm not going to use GCP.
> only a problem if you’re a street critter

In parts of the Bay Area, sometimes you can't find a restroom no matter who you are. The UC Berkeley campus during school breaks is one such place. The campus has 0, and the businesses in the surrounding city have very few restrooms, even for paying customers. The subway has restrooms, but they're nearly always closed. You pretty much have to go to a sit-down restaurant (good luck if it's after 9pm). In 2020-1, this was 10X worse with everything being closed.

Calling them "zinger verbs" is really underselling. The general principle is to use words with impact, be they nouns, adjectives, adverbs, or whatever. In the example, "feed" and "sap" and "vault over" are just much more exciting and evocative than "sustain" and "undermine," which are something a bureaucrat would write. "Shuffling along" gives you a mental picture of some old person moving slowly.

I do find The Economist tedious and boring, but that's a problem of its outlook, which aims to never say anything that contradicts conventional wisdom.

What were you expecting to find?

$1068 at 85% efficiency is $907 "effective" heating dollars. $971 at 94% efficiency is $912 so that passes a basic sanity check.

The major improvement is efficiency c es from runnimg higher volume at lower temperature differentials. This allows the "cold" side of the furnace/boiler to condense the water vapor in the combustion gasses and capture its latent heat.

Well that's the key. Go somewhere without that problem in the US, and every amenity is easy to find. In some places, you can visit a stranger's house and ask to use the toilet, which I've seen before.

Silent red, a.k.a. pink switches, might be what you're looking for. The travel is a lot longer than the chiclet Mac keyboard, but you don't have to press all the way down to activate the switch.
Someone still has to clean the horrible mess; and that costs money (a lot of money, in the case where someone has created what's basically a biohazard by "writing in brown pen" on the walls); and companies / municipalities don't want to pay that money... which leads to the current situation, where there are basically no public bathrooms. "Just accepting it" is something individuals might do, but it's not something rational economic actors (like corporations) can do — they'll look at the costs of maintaining the bathroom, and decide they'd save money by not having a bathroom.
For me it's partially because the interface is insanely slow and painful to use. Maybe this is a "I'm in Australia" problem but it feels like I'm wading through mud to perform the most basic tasks.
Just fyi: if you want to have performant sound synthesis or use sample playback in browsers, you can consider this new web audio lib I made:

https://glicol.js.org/

It's a 2MB, gc-free, memory-safe, and easy-to-use npm audio lib written in Rust for browsers. Performant audio in browsers is not that easy, you need to consider the thread for example to avoid clicks during GUI interaction. I know it may not fit all you need out of the box but I am happy to improve it based on your feedback.
This is so on point.

Consumers don't like it cause they're jealous that there are parts of the chip they can't use yet.

Enterprise LOVES this cause they don't want to pay for parts of the chip they can't use yet, but also forsee wanting to use it in the future. Comes down to a CapEx vs OpEx optimization and having that ability to fine tune that balance is a No 1 requested feature.

Having capital or access to resources is different than some government power handing companies over. Many with resources didn't risk those to try to obtain shares. No one said it was an even playing field but opportunity existed.

Many were selling drugs when it was illegal and picked up valuable skills that can be used to leap over others who didn't take the risk. This is not an even playing field either.

Very cool! I’ve been idly wondering how I could build a keyboard with smaller keys, for someone I know who is a little person. The 3D printed switches seem like a great option. It looks like some of the keys in that review were smaller than standard, how far could they be scaled down? Do you have a link to print instructions you can share?
