Not investing into your people is a sure fire way to be ineffective and signal to people that they’re not worth training and should leave. Couldn’t agree more with you.

I have made the claim in support of transparency before that it matters little if even my competitor would be able to get ahold of my road map as an extreme example of transparency. My forecast is that sure, they might zig or zag a bit differently but the reality is that their road map is already full of the things that they need to build next as well as their best ideas. They are my competitor, and generally they are going to consider their ideas superior to my own, so why would you expect them to change and copy my road map?

What brings you joy on a daily basis? I’m a black belt in Jiu Jitsu and as my mastery continues to deepen it just becomes even more fun and rewarding and I now have a global network of extraordinary people. It’s been well with the thousands of hours.
From what I know of litestream, it should be decoupled from VFS implementation. The versions/snapshots are not known to the database.
Yes I understand people are not oblivious. It is funny how easily people trust but how little they verify.
Of course, I agree with your description. It’s not logical to stop hiring foreigners, or expecting Western wages - I just feel like a cooperative could come up with a better compromise.
By definition, none!
I don't lol. I just try know my physical and mental limits (know thyself). then I try to do things one at a time, and go until I'm satisfied or tired or hit my limits. Its just life you do what you want on your 80 years.

Annoying thing is that my limits have changed as I got older and had children. So I often had to reassess the time that I can put into my interests. And ok that is life we all get old.
> But in no way did color decrease the number of lines in the image.

But it did. If you did not want to see the annoying 3Mhz color-carrier on your BW-TV, you had adjust the focus to 300 horizontal lines, which affected the vertical focus too.
Just because eth enthusiasts think it’s the same as web3.0 doesn’t make that the case
I don’t believe slavery was ever as prevalent in China as in Europe. Complex rice farming discourage the use of slaves. Chinese farmers usually had a more independent position than in Europe. European peasants ran away to towns in medieval times for a reason.
There is no "western" science. It's just science and it works the same wherever you are. Same as there is no "western mathematics".

Why are you and a few other people on the side of religion argueing so much against the west? Science vs religion does not care what the longitude you find yourself in. Or is "eastern science" somehow different?

Science is not perfect, how could it as it is made up of humans and we clearly are not perfect. It's still waaaaaay better than religious doctrines.
Because most of us are smart enough to realize the sheer joke that crypto is
Calling web3isgoinggreat "mainstream reporting" is… dubious. Also, being able to depend (for actual usage by real people, which is the case here otherwise this domain expiration wouldn't be a story worth mentioning: it wouldn't be a story at all) on another external third-party whom you have no control over is not what I would call "the beauty of decentralization"; and being able to switch provider does not prevent all the broken (and soon maybe worse than broken!) links that already exists everywhere.
I’d default to transparency and share things that can be useful for people to know, consider not sharing things that can be distracting.

Customer or partnership deals can be useful to share because the team can help with those but talking about future fundraising might be just distracting and the team might not be able to do anything.

We do monthly business review with the whole company (25ppl now), going through growth, revenue, cash flow, customers etc.
What I see as pecking is having two index fingers tap down on the keyboard after locating the required letter.

I’d be amazed if you can do 90 wpm with just your index fingers regardless of strategy though. With two fingers and an average of 4 letters per word you need to tap 90 / 60 = 1.5 * 4 = 6 / 2 = 3 letters per second per finger (more if your words are longer).

I trust you can do it, but I can’t imagine what that looks like.
This book helped me be okay with not finishing a book. Another way I put it is that the book is there to serve me, not me to serve the book.
This isn't a problem inherent to centralized "Web2" services, it's entirely possible to share custody of a domain name so no one person is a single point of failure if they drop dead or go to prison for getting too friendly with North Korea. You'd hope that a proponent of smart contracts would be familiar with planning for contingencies like that, since with those there's nobody to appeal to if something goes wrong later, but Griffith didn't think that far ahead.
He complains that Twitter doesn't know local Pakistani politics, but what would be the answer in this case? Set up national moderation offices? In this very case, they would just say yeah he's a spy... Unless you want random unaccountable expats making judgment calls about your government
The threads in here about honestly confronting the finite time available and defining goals and understanding why you want expertise are both reasonable and important to think through.

But in terms of actually picking what to focus on, I'd suggest looking for under-explored intersections of domains that are interesting to you. This is for two reasons:

- If the particular intersection is not field with a large number of people doing real work in it, the "bar" for being an "expert" is lower. In a well-developed area, even after doing quite a lot of learning, one might not be an "expert".

- The intersection can give you a view on those adjacent fields which may reveal other interesting opportunities, and may make you at least fluent or productive in those areas.
I love how everything needs to be through equity now. You can't just say we want to provide open access to publicly funded studies. It has to be about minorities
My fingers hate snake_case unless I'm in an IDE with working auto complete, and even then the repeated "shift-minus" when defining variables/functions is just hell on my typing speed. I don't have to remap my keyboard to avoid RSI when using camelCase, and I also don't have to switch keyboard apps on my phone when typing code examples.
They'd probably (or I hope they would) ask nicely first, cease-and-desist second, and sue as a last resort.

Whether or not Microsoft allows the use may not be fully at their discretion; or rather their earlier choices could tie their hands in regards to later choices if things go south.

This is a short read on the kinds of issues that start to crop up when you don't agressively enforce your trademarks:

> The amount of staffing and expertise needed to do this at scale across all product styles and segments is just impossible to maintain.

Stopping all comingling would be a good start. Known good products from known good sellers with known good supplier lines would allow buyers to drastically reduce the chance of getting a fake product.
> I save thousands of dollars in transaction and chargeback fees every year

Honest question: Have you run that past a lawyer? Chargebacks are partially based in law, so while you could be saving money now, it could be by building up more and more legal liability and risk.

But maybe you'll be fine, because you refund any and all refund requests.
Eddie Van Halen was known to do this, though he was admittedly a freak of nature. He tuned the B string a few cents flat so that barre chords played up the neck would sound more in tune. If he needed to play, for example, a D chord in first position, he'd bend the D fretted on the B string slightly sharp.
I have been doing this with the Arch Linux AUR for many years and it works well too
We have a company scorecard that shows sales funnels, bookings, production numbers, cash and collections info, etc, all completely open to any employee at the company.

A soldering technician on our team can literally see how we’re doing on cash and collections at any time.

We have company-wide updates 2-4 times a month where we brief all employees on important ongoings for 30 minutes.
It depends on what you call industrial revolution. If you refer only to manufacturing powered by steam engines (Savery's, Newcomen's, Watt's) then yes, Britain was the first mostly because they were the ones with enough coal for those machines.

However the steam engine marks what is commonly called the second phase of the industrial revolution.

Manufacturing with machines with other sources of power was widely spread in other parts of Europe long before steam engines. They used wind, water currents and horses for grain mills, textiles production, wine production, etc.
In practice what's the difference in finger location between these almost identical notes on a violin? A millimeter?

kebab-case conflicts with binary expressions, specifically subtraction? Some parser jujitsu would be required to fix this.
> Meanwhile, artists and designers who work in Photoshop day in and day out - the people comprising the bulk of Photoshop's actual market - overwhelmingly reject GIMP, and they don't generally have the capability to make a new tool, so they stick with Adobe.

That's because Photoshop was early and is an industry standard, so you're going to have to learn it anyway. There's no incentive to learn GIMP because it's not going to cut you out of a job, and there's no incentive to move your shop to GIMP because all it's going to do is eliminate the massive bulk of the labor pool that is unfamiliar with it.

Also, if you do print, the color situation in GIMP is not good.

But the self-congratulation here is silly. The market chose Photoshop because it was the only choice. The market didn't place it in its position, it largely began the market. The reason people choose to use it is because they are choosing to eat, not because they think it's better.

People who think it's intuitive or straightforward are very different to me. The GIMPs feature organization is far superior to PS imo, it's just lacking a couple of very large features that require being woven throughout the implementations of everything in the data model, like proper color management and live filtering. That's to be expected from the nature of the project, because stuff like that would normally be focused on by a team that would consult with every other team to keep systems like that consistent and debugged. Free software has to rely on individual developers to get inspired to create a system themselves, completely married to the current design, that bolts what they're doing to every component. It's hard.

But when we get it, no one can take it away from us. They could start charging by the minute to use Photoshop tomorrow.
I don't think so, your version is correct to my American ears!
Well, I figured it’d make most sense to work on eternal life first.

But I’ve found that to be tangential to what I’m actually interested in, so I’m still procrastinating.
Now we just need userstyles to eliminate floating headers/footers.
Perhaps more succinctly, you always write any two consecutive notes of a diatonic scale on two different lines of the staff. It would be bad if your in-key scale looked like it had two notes on the same line and then a jump of a third. Note this is true even when you have accidentals! It’s a way to keep the intention or semantics of notes more clear, and more easily readable, regardless of the pitch interval. Like how the article talks about the distinction between an augmented 2nd and a diminished 3d, the notation is designed to help clarify that distinction.
around here cable and satellite, are nearly indistinguishable from a browser session without JSblocking and adblocking
If you have the privilege of not having a shit day job I'd say to follow your instincts. My love and my passion is producing a niched genre of music, I'm very good at it, but it doesnt pay my bills so unfortonately I have to have a daily job. So I'm accepting that's my destiny as I get older and I don't really care about being an expert at it anymore.
The flip side is then it becomes much harder for small companies to get their products approved on such marketplaces (to the benefit of larger competitors). There's a tradeoff and, like most things, some middle ground is probably best.
I enjoyed messing around with that. I'm very old and your app helped reinforce that. I have a stupid question that is likely due to my age. Please feel free to ignore me. Why is this called an app and not a webpage? Is it just modern parlance or is there some functional difference?
Why does paint look good in stores but bad on your wall?
This can be guided by knowing one's purpose in life, and by knowing that life does not end when this mortal lifetime ends, but we will actually continue to exist; and it is possible, based on our individual choices, that our learning, service, and growth can continue. For me, this helps take the pressure off. I wrote how I know this, at my simple web site (in profile).

There are ways to use our time that brings happiness in things that last and are not transient. A scripture says: men are that that they might have joy. Another says that what we learn by our diligence in this life will remain with us in the world to come. So it's definitely not a waste, to learn, and serve others with our time.
"It is a painful thing to say to oneself: by choosing one road I am turning my back on a thousand others. Everything is interesting; everything might be useful; everything attracts and charms a noble mind; but death is before us; mind and matter make their demands; willy-nilly we must submit and rest content as to things that time and wisdom deny us, with a glance of sympathy which is another act of our homage to the truth." - Antonin Sertillanges, The Intellectual Life: Its Spirit, Conditions, Methods
Although a lot of people want smaller government and less regulation. Enforcement would require more bureaucracy in spending. Feels like an uphill battle.

> The hacked firmware writes new data on top of the old data and keeps the directory. It appears to be working, but when you try to access your files, there's nothing there.

Jeez, this last detail elevates it from scam to plain malicious... Overwriting files isn't likely to conceal the scam much longer for a drive that already missreports it's size and is limited to 60MB/s - but it is likely to lose data for someone who actually manages to reach that capacity.

[edit]

Not speculation, reality... following the link to similar drives on amazon by a sibling comment, first 1 start review shows story of data loss [0]:

> They have figured out a way for it to tell the computer that it's a hard drive with 1 or 2TB, where it really is 128GB, according to the engineers who looked at it [...] I spent several hundred dollars to retrieve a few documents that were critical to me [...]

These drives are costing non technical people data loss, not just money.

If you trust them enough to work on your product at such a crucial time, then you should trust them enough to give them full transparency.

Siloing info rarely benefits anyone. At best it builds incompetence and distrust (lack of full picture), and at worst it dooms best laid plans.
The creator is explicitly against a self-hosted compiler, for better or worse.
retuning via tape velocity modulation would be easiest if the instrument in question was consistently out of tune with the rest of the band - like if the sax was always 15 cents flat relative to the harmonic structure.

usually that’s not the case though. typically it’s individual notes. much harder to precisely and accurately modulate tape velocity (especially by hand).
> Mario Gómez was briefly detained by police in El Salvador on suspicion of being involved in a phishing scam and then released.

But weren't those suspicions just some tweets by one of the president's parties congress members that were deleted afterwards? And amplified by government aligned social media (:

> There are many vocal critics of President Bukele and his bitcoin policy in El Salvador's Assembly and the legacy press. None have been jailed.

Not jailed, just "kindly" invited to ask for asylum in other countries by the president of the legislative assembly (:
I started building websites in 1997, started my first post-college job in 2004, and and have worked my way across the spectrum from user experience backwards through the stack to operations and architecture over the last 25 years.

What do I do? What value do I bring to an organization?

“Reliability and cybersecurity are critical features of any project, but these things require a deep understanding that most software engineers don’t have. I build platforms and tools which empower teams to ship highly-reliable, highly-secure software by default, enabling low-friction when it’s time to ship to production.”

PHP and JavaScript were my bread-and-butter for 15 years. But I took the time to learn how to write highly effective, modern PHP with types, and linting, and static analysis to point out poor choices in my code.

Besides teaching me to be a better developer, it also made it really easy to pick up Ruby, then Bash, then Python, then Go, and even some dabbling in Swift along the way. With each new language I learned, I was able to bring new ideas back to my day job.

I have both Dev + Ops skills, so I also do a lot of work in AWS (beyond the “Big 4” of EC2, S3, RDS, and CloudFront), Terraform/Terragrunt (with modules), building AWS base images with Packer and AWS ImageBuilder, Monitoring-as-Code with Terraform + New Relic, built custom cybersecurity scanning tools that identified vulnerabilities and poor configurations across our suite of AWS accounts, and more.

Stay humble, and stay hungry, because there is always somebody coming to eat you. As long as you’re respected, feel free to stay. If you’re not being treated the way you believe you should be treated, then go someplace else. Never let your ego get in the way. Never allow yourself to become too proud to make the right call.

Lastly, but probably most importantly, is that very few things are done by individuals. Most things are done by teams. I teach, I share knowledge, and I work hard to build up the people around me, so that we can work collaboratively together to solve the big problems. I try very hard to magnify the talents of the people around me, rather than preventing them from growing beyond my own limitations. Even though I elected not to become a “manager“, I am still a “leader“.

Find the thing you do which drives value, and market yourself that way. You are not a “PHP developer“. You are a “developer who uses PHP as one tool in the toolbox“.

Just like how McDonald’s is not in the restaurant business; they’re in the real estate business. Google is not a search engine company; they’re an advertising company. Facebook is not a social networking company; they’re an advertising company.
Because if the problem is bad enough, people will start looking for alternative places to buy things. It's like how people will avoid the bad neighborhoods in a city.
The UK could nationalise its gas production, ban exports, increase production and artificially set low prices, bringing the average unit price way back down.

How long it could sustain this, or whether it would be regarded as state sponsored piracy, is debatable.

But Tory idiots in power. Probably won't address it until after WW3 kicks off.
I did some early documentation of the Linux advanced networking capabilities when they came out in 2.2; it was widely cited for a while. I couldn't grow it effectively and others supplanted it reasonably quickly. [1]

I don't work easily with others so I tend to publish projects in hope they're useful enough for others, then never revisit or update them. My python arrays / mmap slicer module [2] got into FreeBSD ports for several years and I was told was used in some of the early dedicated media player things.

Source available that I can point to would be my OpenSCAD box script [3], which some kind soul has taken on after I left it.

These contributions are not much to compare to the value, and joy, that has been given to me by others in the form of their freely shared work; but I hope that by contributing in the same spirit that I have done my part to help improve the world, as well as sharing my joy in geeking out over stuff others may not care about.

Perhaps I'm missing something but Crawler Hints seems to be completely separate from IndexNow — it's just a CloudFlare product that implements it.
They could not evolve manufacturing as they lacked the water situation to have waterwheel driven factories like England. They also lacked coal. Even if they had had financial capitalism it would have made no difference as they lacked the material conditions to industrialize.

Another problem was lack of protestantism which held back development of reading and writing.

Shane Morris was also known for poorly heckling Patrick Stump, lead singer of Fall Out Boy, in 2013, as well as being a jerk to other musicians: http://underthegunreview.net/2013/05/08/patrick-stump-destro...

Sounds like a weapons-grade asshole. At least he realized it, under threat to his own life. Although maybe he can't help himself, as his Twitter is suspended as of now and he appears to be banned from Medium.
I run https://diskprices.com/ which indexes Amazon. I do my best to filter out the obvious scams.
Scrum cannot fail developers because it's not intended to help them. It's mostly a status report framework based on management pseudoscience.
I think about what forms of expertise will be meaningful when I am dying.
That is a problem best solved after you don’t have to worry about the time involved any more.
Is there an updated way since TunesKit got broken and you needed to keep around an old version of iTunes for Windows (which apple will eventually break)?
Using JAX vs Julia
(I am the author) Some of the use-cases of mojo I could think of:

1. Rollbacking DDL changes (like create table, adding columns, etc)

2. (My use-case) Multiple readers-single writer. Readers read old versions. Writers do not block readers and vice-versa. Note: this is different than reading+writing in the same version can still happen but with database-level locking.

3. Extension of #2: The older versions read from S3 so that lamda can read.

4. Extension of #3: Readers reading from old immutable snapshots makes the database as a queue of complex changes with indexes and all the benefits of SQL.

5. Backups and replication.

Oh: I have change the license to MIT
one of my favorite aspects of learning the tuba was when we covered logarithmic approximations via linear summing.
Wanting something is easy, doing is hard. Get past wanting to doing and it will automatically filter to a manageable set of goals.
It's funny you say that because I've been considering doing exactly the opposite: Adding a curated user style sheet for common websites which adds floating headers/sticky scroll/contextual scroll/semantic scroll/whatever you call it. Like this one for HN[1] (also mine), but everywhere. I'd honestly be curious why you dislike floating headers? Especially for navigation, I think it is preferable. I regularly make use of it, like here [2] (also mine, sorry for all of that)
