They're not saying they don't need to have technical experience, they're saying they don't need to be a current technical domain expert. Of course they need to understand how software products are created, but they don't need to know to optimise your DB queries.

That may not be the case at a small 5 person startup, but at a larger scale with a full division underneath you shouldn't be getting involved in the nitty gritty of why the database fell over. You should be making sure the engineering teams are being given the space to have those discussions, learn from it, and improve.

The CFO of a similar sized company isn't sitting down and running payroll. They're talking about strategies to re-organise budgets to enable product or territory expansion. Or they're looking at the decisions leaders of a potential acquisition have made, and whether they stack up to the top level figures.

Both roles are fundamentally business and people focused roles. They require the holder to take leadership of a specific area (technical, financial, or what have you) and run it efficiently to server the business goals. That requires you to have a good understanding of the area. The more you have the more likely you are to succeed, but you won't be writing code as a CTO. In the same way the CFO won't be running the tax calculations for payroll that month. Not once you're past 50 or so people in your division.

Not anymore. That may once have been true but circa Windows 8.1/10 that changed substantially IME. It really came to a head when Windows 7 support was dropped but I spent several years consulting and helping people migrate really really old software (which should have been replaced) that was Win 3.11/DOS based from Win7 to either Dosbox or Wine on Linux systems because Windows 10 specifically couldn't actually support running them anymore. Compatibility was broken in a rough way with 10 for very old applications which were otherwise working.

It's fine to argue typical desktop applications need to be updated but purpose-built applications cost money, so when you have things like a POS terminal installed in thousands of fast-oil-change locations and it's from the Win3.11 era working perfectly fine for years but suddenly stops working after moving to 10, that's a sudden cost on a business (especially with no warning). Yes, you can argue that companies should be updating that kind of software, if only for reasons of security (I often did). The bottom line tends to be king, especially in smaller businesses, in my experience.
In the field of computational algebra, we do this all the time.
I agree that's a problem. But as long as I've been around, theres' always been a fine line between usability and security. You introduce one change to fix one problem and it creates another. You try to simplify and end up over-simplifying. You give users more control and they choose convenience over security, which for a very large population or critical infrastructure has larger ripple effects (every compromise is a foothold into another compromise). There are other solutions, like FIDO2 with a hardware token and approval button, but that has its own drawbacks and adoption is slow. Every solution is kinda sucky :(

My feeling is companies don't invest in this because there isn't much return they expect from it. If gamers are more interested in playing with other humans than interacting with in-game characters, spending a lot on the AI to make it work might not make sense economically.

I'm no insider, but I imagine the same sort of reasoning is applied to when companies don't invest enough in opponent AI to make them continuously competitive: people want to play with other humans.

But I suspect this will change if it's marketed well. I will like to see that happen!

I don't think my country has any sanctions against Russia. Anything that exists comes from Brussels but I am not sure what and where so that is a question for a lawyer, for sure. As far as I know, as just a normie, I don't think sanctions on businesses are made in general, merely on import of goods. But since the SWIFT ting, they cannot pay anyone so it's an obstacle making dealing with Russia so complicated that it essentially makes it impossible for all businesses, even though there might be not be a law prohibiting it. As for off-the books approach, that is not what I am interested in. I want to stay 100% legal. Someone below has already recommended crypto, I'll look into it. I don't have Russian-centric business, I merely want to give Russian, or any other, customers a way to use my service. That's all.

Because the comment I replied to claimed “luxury” for $1k per month.
The key point (in the end) seems to be that the odds for a streak like Niemann had are about 1 in 80k. Statistically speaking, I'd say that's a long shot from a smoking gun. Here's a good rundown of a case where a cheater is considered to have been exposed by statistical evidence, but those odds were on a completely different scale, 10^22:

Basically the mistake that is easy to make is that we shouldn't ask: "what is the probability that Hans plays five tournaments like that in a row?", but "what is the probability that someone will play five tournaments like that in a row?". Even if we correct for the fact that there are probably more Minecraft speedruns happening than GM tournaments, odds of 80k just seem a bit too low to call it evidence.

"Remember me" (aka "Trust this Device") is a red herring for me in nearly every case.

I suspect this is partly due to my pervasive use of IPv6; both my Android device and Windows receive IPv6 allocations on my home WiFi. The device fingerprinting that providers use seems to be fooled when the IPv6 Interface ID changes, even if the /64 is identical. So according to their algorithms, my device is perpetually new and untrusted.

Live.com always always pops a dialog to ask me whether I wish to remain logged in; I never remain logged in, but the dialog constantly asks and there's no way for me to dismiss it permanently.

The only time I've seen "Remember me" work properly is when it sets a cookie with my username and does nothing else. Since I use a password manager, I have no use for remembering my username, and in fact it disrupts my flow and presents an unnecessary leak of credential information.
Using stardock software like windowblinds was a lot of fun as a child. Thinking back at their software today as a software developer it was pretty incredible how much customizable it was.

It would be fun to do a deep dive into their software today. There must be something to learn when it comes to creating customizable gui themes.

They are a games company as well. I often feel non-game software made by game developers have some sort of quality and personality that you often can't find elsewhere.

You might already know about it, but Ehrlich claims[1] that the Surreals form an ordered field which is a maximal hyperreal number system in NBG, and therefore all the results of non-standard analysis "work" (up to isomorphism) in the Surreals.

It doesn't destabilize the relationship between US and Germany one bit - unless evidence comes out that the USA did do this damage - in which case the Germans will probably apologize and kowtow, as they always do when America is on the line ...

It does make it hard for Germany and Russia to have energy trade, however.

Which makes it easier for the USA to sell its dirty gas in Europe.
If the AI is actually human-level and is made by humans, then it will be capable of working on itself. Assuming the evolution of human intelligence was mainly limited by biological factors that don't apply to AI (like that brains can't be too big to go through the birth canal, that a body needs to optimize how much energy it gives to the brain vs other parts, etc), then if we hit human-level AI then we're going to be able to go past that. If humans are able to improve AI at any speed, then the AI would be able to improve itself exponentially faster because it will benefit from its own improvements.
If it were free text, sounds like a thing I would use once for the novelty then forget about, because it's not an entertaining gameplay feature.

I just watched Hikaru's latest analysis of the current ongoing chess drama regarding OTB cheating. There he nearly revealed by accident some of his personal files and analyses while opening his chessbase database during the stream.

This made me think and I realized that I also have some proprietary stuff (specific data format descriptions and code snippets mainly) that are presumably _valuable_, in any case definitely worthy for my job/business.

So, I'm curious: How does it look for you? Would you be ruined in case someone got access to your personal files, or are we living in a post-privacy world by now in this regard?
I read a bit of this, and it struck me as some more generic fast food consumption, so I got bored. I've consulted for 5 F500's now, and by far the biggest issue with managers at these companies is that they still focus on managing people and not managing the flow of value.

> don't necessarily need to be done by a developer

Yes and no. They need to be done by someone with developer empathy, for example a hyper-enthusiastic user champion, and hands-on problem solving experience definitely helps a lot.

Reproducing bugs and triaging issue reports does not require the skill of reading and writing code, it does require the skill of systems thinking which is IMHO a developer trait.
This would be awesome in VR. I took French in High School, and I forgot most of it, but after a week in France a lot of it was coming back. Immersion is a big deal in languages.
Nice perspective. As both a hip-hop fan and a tech guy, I can't help but think about how relatively stagnant and perhaps even backwards many human interfaces have become. Specifically, I'm thinking of the touchscreens in e.g. Teslas.

Explain to me that wringing the last bit of productivity out of the team is required when the team as a whole still is much faster than a smaller one.
Explain where the cutoff is for optimum team size to not actually lose productivity.

Explain what is the actual science behind those team interventions. Do they work, or do you just induce people to leave or burn out particular team members as the team becomes split between superloafers and superworkers?

The article also conflates bystander effect with (alleged) productivity loss. They are not unrelated, but interventions to either may be different.

> most common react libraries will fail if you try to just use ReactDOM

I'd think that would be a pretty big sign that React might not be the right tool for the job. I'm all for building custom hammers but sometimes it might just be better to just grab a screwdriver.
Thanks! In the case of traditional ETL tools, a lot of that transformation is usually schema cleaning, which is necessary because the data is extracted from an API and so needs a little love before it’s in analysis-ready shape (renaming columns, joining a couple tables, and so on). When the vendor is in charge of defining the data model, they know what format is most helpful to surface the data in and so can transform it to that format before the load (TEL?!).

In this model, it’s also still possible for the data team on the recipient side to further transform data before handing it to value teams. They can run dbt or whichever transform tool they use once it lands in their warehouse (so more like ELT, which is broadly what the industry is moving to).
That wasn't my experience.

You can just build your react components into a bundle and reference that. Just like this tool is doing behind the scenes. That's how most people use React.
Founders are also incentivized to invest much more time energy into their businesses than a middle manager.

Founders also shape their org structure to something that suits them, while a middle manager has to work within the constraints of their organization, which are often stifling with significant overhead.

Even basic things take inordinate amounts of time for middle managers. You could ignore them, but that often has secondary impacts like not taking care of your team (promotions, good reviews, training, etc.) or not getting your team the visibility it needs.
Which talking points are those?
But is it simply a case that individual productivity looks lower because it's hard to attribute the team's productivity from its members'? After all the whole point of working together is so we can create more than we could individually.

Exactly what I had in mind. This is an attitude that sees workers as mindless automatons whose sole purpose is to keep themselves busy. a terrible management approach.

I'd actually love some alternative approaches to path description, that are translated into the common SVG path representation by a compiler. E.g. something turtle-like, where the "cursor" also has a heading and you could describe a curve like "10 degrees left, radius 50" and distances by outcome "straight on until we hit absolute y==100" (in a terse syntax of course).

But a more verbose version of e.g. the arc-a? Not interested at all: those seven parameters (+2 from the implicit cursor) would not be particularly palatable even if they were all explicitly named.
I've some a similar thing with my NAS on a Supermicro X10 (I think) on Linux. I have had all kinds of trouble getting quiet fans on this board under Linux. I think it's a mix of BIOS fan control and other things that I ended up sinking days into trying to solve. Right now my solution is flaky at best, but eventually the fans spin down after a reboot.

Supermicro could be so good for "prosumers" but I feel like they are bogged down by historic garbage. I had to pay (crack) something in the BIOS just to use a feature.
Maybe you're thinking about 1500 hours instead of 15000. 15000 hours is approx. 5 years at 8 hours a day and you would reach "mastery" level in a lot of subjects (if studying deliberately).

Also, when you are reading you are most likely speaking with your inner voice. If you don't know the proper pronunciation, you may reinforce bad intonation/pronunciation habits. It happens to me when I'm reading a text with names that I'm too lazy to properly read. I just register the shape of the word with the first/last letters and length, then I pattern match in the rest of the text to know who we are talking about and that's it. More then once when talking with friends about books/articles/..., I could not tell the name of the person of interest. If it was written I would recognize it but I couldn't vocalize it.
You are spotty on. That's also what the article described some modern buildings are doing with these jaali screens
I'm not sure I like the framing in terms implying laziness. That's not the case in my experience. Usually inefficiency in individual productivity comes from communication overhead, lack of empowerment, increased complexity of problem domain, etc., which are legitimate issues of bigger organisations.
