With all measures that are applied in management contexts I find that the mistake people tend to make is that there is a linear relationship between the measure of work and the financial measures (revenue, profit, margin, etc.)

Velocity seems like a simpler measure than a Network Queue, and both seem like they are valid measures since neither will have a linear relationship with the bottom line of the company.

The goal of the entire business is to tune all the parts of the business and seek out an efficient solution.

The theory of constraints as it is quoted in this article isn't advocating for rate matching everywhere in the business specifically. Rather it is making the statement that some inputs and processes in the business have a disproportionately large effect on the business outcomes. And you should weight management priority to the processes that affect your outcomes the most.

If you have a process (say deploys to production), that dramatically affects your business outcomes, in the sense that small changes to this process lead to large changes or even most of the changes in outcomes (e.g. revenue). Then most of the resources should be allocated to optimising that part of the business, since resources allocated anywhere else will be wasted, since the magnitude of the effects (even assuming they'll still be positive), will be dwarfed by your most sensitive inputs.

The theory of constraints preaches that after you have chosen your most important business outcomes (a strategic decision), you should measure how much the different inputs to your business affect the outputs of the business, and allocate resources to the most sensitive inputs.

Most big businesses do this very well. It's why you can find yourself in a team where doing more work or less work doesn't seem to matter, even though your direct manager is up your ass all the time.
On the subject of consistent keyboard shortcuts, does anyone here have a copy of the complete Common User Access documents? What I can find online (linked to from Wikipedia below) is incomplete.

>There’s no “but” here

There is because I wrote it there. But is used to show contrast. I was contrasting how there was doxing and there wasn't swatting.

It may be unethical to you, but it is ethical to me. Doxxing is not illegal in the United States.

I see the documentation and preservation as a good thing. Not everyone has to share the same opinion as me. People who don't want to see this stuff can not visit the site.

>This is bullshit designed to evade responsibility with a wink and a nod

It doesn't glorify it anymore than wikipedia glorifies the historical events it has articles about.

>The forum provides the means

That doesn't mean the forum should be responsible. If Is someone googles a person's name and their address shows up does that mean Google is responsible for the person being swatted? In my opinion, no it isn't.

>glorifies the result

The forum can't control how people respond to the event. No one is forcing people to commented negatively or positively or even at all about it. Even without the Kiwi Farms it would likely be talked about somewhere else.

>they don’t explicitly setup a SWAT autodialer

They don't implicitly do this either. The community in general doesn't swat people. Yes, I'm sure you can find some exception, but I don't believe a community should be killed just because there are some bad people who claim to be a part of it in it.

More to the point of how simple (and easy) defmacro is compared to syntax-case and syntax-rules, I like another fare post: https://fare.livejournal.com/189741.html If you're as smart as fare, it "isn't too hard to translate it".

Though I concede this case could be analogous to trying to write a Doubly Linked List in Rust, it's not enough to say definitively yea or nay. So I'd more like to see a concrete case you have in mind where the tradeoffs are squarely against CL. Like, the loop macro is more complicated than any I have written myself, but you can break it down, and it's not that bad -- I think Norvig's version is pretty neat to study: https://norvig.com/paip/loop.lisp This project (and it's not the only one!) adding C syntax to CL https://github.com/y2q-actionman/with-c-syntax I think is more complicated than loop, and is sort of where I'd put the level of "complicated things" at that I'd like to see an example from the Scheme world that clearly shows defmacro's deficiencies on some metrics. (Fewer bugs? Easier to add new features to? Shorter code? Faster performance either at compile time or runtime or both? Easier to understand or faster to implement for people with similar levels of skill in the language?)
This was underwhelming. A whole load of intro fluff about this person's upbringing and then it turns out she just wants to use tensors, as if that's some radical new idea.

If you're not familiar with tensors, where a matrix is a two-dimensional array of numbers, a tensor is an n-dimensional array.

Why this idea is not radical: ever hear of Tensorflow (one of the most popular AI libraries)? Or Google Tensor, which is a TPU (tensor processing unit)? Or Nvidia Tensor cores?

Computer scientists are already well aware of tensors and make extensive use of them, when it makes sense to do so.
Is anybody trying to lift that limitation? It seems like an obvious target for kernel devs to tackle.

If Linux and *BSD did it (especially if they adopted a mutually compatible implementation), the POSIX standardisation team (Austin Group) would likely be interested in adding it to POSIX, and Windows/macOS/AIX/etc will likely follow their example sooner or later.

This isn't an uncommon view; others have observed that it's becoming unpopular to espouse free speech for all. There's an active pushback against, say, protecting the rights of racists. As an Indian Muslim I don't like what they say, but I realize it's only because of such free speech that people like me can live our lives freely in this country today. There are still a lot of people that hate me and I see it daily on reddit and Twitter.

"rather than inflating a c-suite executive's bonus for the umptieth time."

The point is, if they are being paid 30% or 40% more than what I get paid when I am at a poorly funded startup (that is, if they are getting paid what I would be paid if I was working at a larger firm) then you cannot say their salary is inflated, unless you want to argue that everyone working in tech has an inflated salary -- and you can certainly make that argument, but you should do so clearly, and at that point your complaint is not about WikiMedia anymore.

"Boomer" is internet slang for a (usually, but not necessarily, older) person with little awareness of the internet and its culture. It doesn't have any strong connection to proper baby boomers. The opposite would be a "zoomer" - a young person who is unaware of older internet culture or perhaps just culture in general. A Facebook person who doesn't know what Fortnite is would be a boomer; a TikTok kid who doesn't know what the dancing baby meme is or who Michael Jackson is would be a zoomer.

I have had the same idea myself before, but with a more cross-platform scope (Linux and Windows too, not just macOS). Whatever it flaws, SMB/CIFS has the advantage of being supported out-of-the-box on more platforms than NFSv4 is.

> You could conceivably regard almost any comment as "threatening and intimidating"

Of course, but I think a threat to kill someone with a bomb is unambiguously threatening and intimidating whereas "I think this person's ideology is terrible and disagree with it" is not.

> The US Gov might consider Wikileaks to be "threatening and intimidating". Ukraine "threatens and intimidates" Russia and vice versa. Corporations "threaten and intimidate" their workers, while unions "threaten and intimidate" corporations.

You're kind of lumping in a bunch of separate concerns - a war between Russia and Ukraine is not the same as a forum of neo Nazis and neither are whistleblowing or labour relations disputes. Could you explain why you think they're related (as I can't personally see how they are)?
I remember, around 10 years ago, mucking around with WebDAV, and discovering many WebDAV clients were extremely crapulent. Especially on Windows.

It's not about who is more worthy of protection. And viewing it that way is incredibly dangerous. It's about what cost you are willing to pay for that protection.

Ex: we have a pretty clear innocent until proven guilty justice system. This means there will always be people who are guilty who will not be punished. We can make that less likely by just throwing every suspect into jail. This protects the general public better then the current system. But most will agree that the cost of this is too high. So we don't do it. That doesn't mean we don't want the protect the public from criminals.

The people who are against cloudflare banning kiwifarms aren't debating for who to protect. They are debating about the cost of that protection.

You're blinded from seeing what could be done by the emotional reaction the $ signs are giving you. Look at the adjectives you have chosen — those are the bounds of your thought-space.

Consider the first point: yes, you can make them "healthy long-term thinkers", but without resources — especially when those resources are expropriated for the value of those with far different or far less long-range aims for them — it will only get them so far. I'm suggesting that encouraging long-term thinking on the part of individuals and their families, with part of that encouragement allowing them to build and maintain significant financial reserves and control of businesses, resources, etc., will have far more salutary effects than allowing those resources to be strip-mined for the sake of investors, corporate raiders, and government indulgences. What is currently lacking is an incentive for those who hold great resources to do more than either live large off of them or put them into ridiculous "charities" or "foundations" that end up doing very, very little of use. At least Carnegie built libraries; today's people buying their consciences back tend to purchase an assortment of politicians. Such a great use of resources.
The Dockerfile doesn't specify volumes, those are configured at runtime. In the case of Kubernetes, they're configured in the pod spec.

As for ports, EXPOSE in a Dockerfile is basically just documentation/metadata. In practice ports are exposed at runtime (if using docker) or by configuring services (if using Kubernetes), and these are unaffected by whether a port is exposed in the dockerfile.

IMHO this is how it should be -- if I'm running a containerized database or web server, I want to be able to specify the port that the rest of the world sees it as, I don't want the container creator to decide that.
At my previous job I noted that analytics events were passed to dwh as plain JSON. I said immediately that it should be compressed and proposed zStd as a codec.

> "Doxxing" doesn't restrict someone else's free speech. It just discourages them from conducting speech under their public identity.

Isn’t this the exact same thing? Discouraging someone from conducting speech under their public identity is taking away their audience and community. It’s not removing their ability to speak, but it’s hard to see how it’s not restricting their free speech.

And in the exact same way, no one has removed the ability to speak of any KiwiFarms member (or indeed of their community as a whole). It’s simply been made harder for them to conduct their speech under their current public identity.

> Huh? You can never isolate the client side code. You will always have something in your app.

Yes, and that "something" can be reduced to reads and writes to a socket.

> So, write a module that talks to a socket. That's how like half of the PAM modules already operate.

I mean move all of PAM to a service. So for instance currently chsh is a setuid application because it needs to be able to write to /etc/passwd. This is a requirement because the way it works is that it links to libpam, which will load a module, which will write to /etc/passwd, all inside the 'chsh' program.

My suggestion would result in chsh becoming a completely unprivileged application that only deals with interfacing with the user, then passes the action to pamd, which would run with the required privileges.
To simplify, algorithms just regurgitate or "amplify" they don't actually invent new stuff. I think cool hunter can still be a thing.

Evidence:

In 1984 (or so), William Gibson wrote about subcultures (panther moderns as the example) springing up from nowhere overnight, driven by the internet age, which is what we see now in our connected algo driven interaction. In 2006 (or so) he wrote about Case (Porter?), cool hunter, still obviously relevant despite an understanding of what the internet can do.

I agree with Gibson
About 20 years ago (before the crackdown on online poker in the US), I had a friend who made a good living playing online poker. His cheating strategy was to use an engine to watch every single game being played on the server. Once he accumulated enough data on players, he would simply play at tables where there were really bad players. He would have insight into each players strategy, and could counter easily. He made quite a bit.
The goalposts are a post on KF which advocates violence or doxing, was not mocked or deleted, and is still currently on KF - so screenshots of posts taken before they were mocked and/or deleted do not count (and it's quite possible any such screenshots in Keffals' possession were posted by Keffals or another affiliate and then snapped before they were mocked and/or deleted anyway).

Many organizations are doing multi-objective optimization without knowing it. Maybe all non-trivial organizations are doing this kind of optimization? But most of them don't know it. For example, for-profit companies care about both revenue and profit and they aren't always aligned - their entire business is multi-objective optimization with the results reported to investors every quarter (if they're public). The danger of not knowing you're doing multi-objective optimization is that it's too easy to think it's possible to treat each objective as independent, optimize each of those dimensions while ignoring others, and assume things are getting more optimal all along.

I've repeatedly seen this result in oscillations where X is optimized over the course of a year. When those efforts runs dry, the effort switches to optimizing Y for the next year without realizing most of the gains in X were sacrificed for Y (repeat). It is a lot simpler to only think of one dimension at a time, but progress can be so much slower. If they've done a really good job, they are dancing in circles near the Pareto front and, to the extent their environment is static, their efforts are going to be neutral at best.

I've also seen this turned around when it was later understood that it was multi-objective optimization. That involved hiring people with a background in mathematical optimization (operations research, game theory, control theory, statistics, etc.) to build a system that would constantly adjust system parameters to stay near optimality. They built ML models, control systems, and auction systems that all worked together. The result was incredibly different. What had been years of experimentation, often with latter experiments undoing earlier experiments, the system adapted in near real time to changing conditions. The pandemic likely would have hammered this company because it put many of their customers out of business. Instead, the system changed its own behavior to get roughly the best results it could and kept adapting as the pandemic went through all its stages. Their results are now ahead of where they were at the start of the pandemic while something like half of their customers are out of business.

A downside of automating this is that it is very difficult to experiment on the optimization system itself. Measuring improvements requires advanced experiment design and analysis, typically necessitating people with a PhD in specific areas of statistics (stats as used in vaccine trials, market economics, etc.). It is also difficult to understand what the system is doing and why. And without real constraints placed on it by those running it, a lot of damage can be done to variables not represented in the system as it cannibalizes them to optimize the variable it does know about - I suspect this is the source of a lot of the high profile damage Facebook has done to the world.
