Culture, culture, culture. It's universally cited as essential to an org's success, but... what exactly is the "culture" of a workplace?

I think an org has good culture if it has a good mission, the mission is communicated clearly and consistently throughout the org, people plan together thoughtfully for how best to execute the mission, and they execute their plans reliably and with respect for the time and effort of colleagues (e.g. reasonable questions and requests are answered in a courteous and timely fashion).

If all of that happens, I would rate the org culture as great, and people will naturally enjoy the company of their colleagues out of mutually earned respect.

None of this seems to have anything to do with getting together in person. You can set and communicate mission without being physically together, and you can plan thoughtfully without being physically together. And directed, thoughtful, and reliable people are great to work with whether it's in person or through a screen, and the opposite kind of person is also a pain regardless of the medium.

There are specific situations when being in-person can work better. I'm sure with very creative work, like developing a Disney movie, you sometimes want to get together to feed off each other's energy. But I don't think it's really that important in general. The important thing is everyone doing their jobs, and the people doing their jobs getting proportional recognition.
It's called card running. You get a trove of credit cards, so you use them to buy tiny things that the card holders hopefully won't notice. Now you've sorted the list into valid and invalid cards, and can resell the valid list for a lot more money to a scammer who will use it for large scale fraud.
yeah, you have to go higher than what they would get in court.

Those might not be the same people, but for many people JS is the door to the world of software development - the same way PHP was (also for me).

The issue is existential for websites, since it concerns their ability to remain profitable. As such, the website that stays in business longest is the one that can coax the most people to hand over their data. It is entirely inevitable that websites would go up to and beyond the letter of the law in pursuing this.

Exactly right. It reminds me of the Wells Fargo scandal where branch managers were given unattainable quotas and resorted to fraud to meet them. Incentives matter.
This article is about memorizing more effectively not learning.

To learn, you need to act and have the world give you feedback.

If you’re starting a company, you need to create something and get feedback on its value and iterate.
He is from the US, but lives in Romania.

For a long time, cock.li was hosted on Hetzner - until a bunch of bomb threats to schools in the US originated there. There was a fun little bit of government overreach involved too, since the german police seized the server twice - the first time they only took a single drive (probably as advised by Hetzner staff), and then, a week later, they demanded the entire server. It's pretty much implied that this was at the behest of US authorities, since a related FOIA request at the german feds was denied with "may cause adverse affects on international relations"
There's a good polyfill for Temporal here: https://github.com/js-temporal/temporal-polyfill
You'd still need a Mac with xcode for the build, no?
JS is retracing some of the same steps of Python. They are both a fun language with not a lot of constraints and a lot of capability.

What this does is create a large community of enthusiastic beginners led by few (prone to follow trends by authoritative members) so you get some experts but a lot of beginners and beginners love libraries, especially ones written by the expert contingent. The JS stdlib is not as strong as it could be, nor is python, so libraries in some cases make a lot of sense but for beginners it is easy to rely on libraries for everything.

Eventually some of these beginners turn into skilled programmers and either stick with just JS or Python, and then the other subset moves on and tries other languages that address some of the perceived 'shortcomings' of JS/Python. What you find is that a lot of the ecosystem becomes that beginner crew and a repeated brain drain of the other 70% who move on.
Letting the versions of your project dependencies float without control guarantees some headaches.

One difference might be the pedagogical vs the productive perspective.

I would prefer to run Linux GUI applications inside docker containers but, that’s something.
I'm assuming the rationale is that for someone who's doing complex system-level stuff on unix/linux they should be able to change things deep in the weeds instead of pulling the entire code out to IntelliJ or an IDE.
I really like UTM's business model: identical free software if you want it, or 10 bucks if you want automatic updates and to fund UTM development.
> almost as if you think a good deal of them might not be worth reading

It's not that, but I was going for a cold, hard truth tone. Some of them absolutely are worth reading, it's just that supply outstrips demand. It's the same with musicians. There's an endless supply of good enough musicians in their 20's that are marketable. Or aspiring actors in waiting tables in LA.

This is also backed by mass extinction events being relatively rare.
The irony of this comment is that Composer & packagist is one of the sanest and most well-thought-through package management systems. PHP actually fares better than the vast majority of language ecosystems on the specific topic being discussed in this comment thread.

I have always figured that when it comes to suicide, the best way to do it is to take out a dictator or other evil entity in the process. Make it count. What’s the worst that can happen? You die trying.
As I understand it, Asahi can run on bare metal of an Mx machine, including custom hardware/firmware due to their reverse engineering efforts. Running aarch64 Linux within a VM only needs to work with the simplified virtual hardware exposed by the VM.
And it's at least 100x cooler than most fastloaders, because it is Open Source (GPLv3 or later).

Part of building relationships from a management perspective means understanding how people operate, and then helping to create an environment that’s conducive to them. Your responses in this thread read like you expect everyone you work with to instead meet you on your level. That’s great when everyone is like minded, but as teams scale up it doesn’t work that way.

I also have many ex-coworkers who are great friends. I have others who are doing great and I only see random updates on LinkedIn every few years as they move around. Both are fine, both sets of people were awesome hires (on a remote team)

SecureTransport is a system library on Apple operating systems that implements TLS. It doesn’t exist on Linux. The configure help output is showing it on Linux because it doesn’t filter the list of options based on the OS you’re running on. (Nor should it, since you might hypothetically want to cross-compile a binary for a different operating system than the one you’re running on.)
The purity of food grade sodium nitrate is 6% percent, and then you mix it with salt. The purity of what Amazon is selling is ~99%.

Purity here doesn't mean the rest is impurities, it means the percent of what you're buying is that compound. The rest is usually common salt, in this case.

The reason it's done like this is so mixing up a teaspoon and a tablespoon isn't a lethal difference.

The LD_lo of sodium nitrite is a bit over 5g for a 75kg person. You use an ounce of 6% sodium nitrite to cure about 25kg of meat. That's about 28g, or 1.7g of pure sodium nitrite. The equivalent lethal dose of what Amazon is selling is equal to ~three ounces of the stuff you use for food (enough for 75kg of meat), which ends up looking like a teaspoon at 99% purity. Do you have the confidence to correctly use a compound to cure meat where (for household use) curing 5kg requires so little chemical that you'd need to pinch it onto a scale?
Interesting. What effect if any will my home being entirely on off-grid inverter 100% of the time have on this? I use Solar/Commercial/Generator -> DC Power Supplies / Charge Controllers -> Inverter -> Non-Resistive loads. My inverters are entirely isolated from commercial power. Can someone perhaps tell the make/model of my inverter?
> This assumes alot of things, like that I reject all forms of taxation which I dont just income based. You know this because you already replied to a comment where I layout my preferred public finance model which you also ignored in that comment in favor of a semantic logical fallacy debate. so i question if you actually want to have an honest conversation

If non-income based taxation worked, societies would be using it. Every single form of taxation was tried throughout history. This is the one that works.

> That is a bit of projection there.

No. The ones who BELIEVE that things will 'just' be 'okay' if they just leave things to 'the market' are repeating the Christianity's format of faith. That there is a 'good god' that will just make everything 'okay'. That's why it is faith.

> Individualism is about the rejection of a "higher power", in your case this higher power is "the state" having replaced a god or gods

Organized, well equipped and trained authoritarian forces do not give zit about the rejection of their authority by the individual people. The moment you lose the guarantor of your freedom and rights - the democratically owned and controlled society - is the moment you are a subject of the strongest armed bunch nearby.

> Modern society was build by voluntary exchange of free individuals, not government.

The modern society was built by literally the organized French Revolutionaries deposing the aristocracy, making everyone equal and creating a social and legal system that ensured that. There hasn't been any 'voluntary exchange' of power on the side of armed, organized minority tyrants.

Neither the society was formed in American Wild West, where if you were upset with your local environment, you could just kill some more Indians and steal their land and prop yourself up on the stolen land in the most libertarian fashion.

Such philosophy is great while there is free land to take. The moment the free land runs out, things change. Just like how it happened at the end of 19th century in the US.

> the entire US model of government is build on the fact that freedoms and rights need to be protected FROM government

Yes. And that's why the US is in knee-deep sh*t. Becaue large slaveowners who had gigantic amount of land, wanted to protect their land from redistribution like how it was done to the deposed English nobility. Hence you got 'checks and balances' to prevent the democratic majority from asserting their will, with an openly declared intention by the architect of your constitution, John Adams, that the 'opulent' (rich) must be protected from the 'tyranny of the majority' (the people).

And as a result, you are killing your people when they cant pay for healthcare, 42 million working families are suffering hunger, you are still paying the $4 trillion Iraqi war debt that you accrued for the privilege of murdering 1 million Iraqis, and your infrastructure is failing.

But hey - the rich are far richer. So that is 'okay'.
Instead of re-litigating the employment issues couldn't they just sue to enforce the fact that they didn't pay their bill in the other suite? Also unless they have zero assets in the EU wouldn't other member states potentially be an option to seize said assets?
For a Python 2 to 3 migration a few years back we did it in a branch with many commits. We didn't obsess about telling a story we just got the work done and the tests passing.

Before this there was some work to bring the codebase as close to 3.x paradigms as possible.

As long as the two points before and after the work are copacetic we were satisfied. In that sense it was discreet.
We've sort of been at this point for a long time, though, the abstraction bar is just being shifted up.

Previously, the bar was at the firmware level, where you will never fully control the black boxes governing the security chips, DRM implementations and real time OSes running on the microcontrollers inside the CPU.

Now the OS (especially on Apple devices) is almost becoming like the firmware layer itself, so deeply integrated and locked to the machine, but with the freedom to run other OSes/environments on top.

At least you can (usually) still unlock the OS level...
My situation is not described in these options and I put my result in a comment.

It's not that simple... the cars VW retrofit and resold to the public under the lawsuit are not really driveable or usable at the level needed to sell to consumers as a new car. They use massive amount of adblue, causing the tanks to run empty and the components to fail frequently. They also have other performance issues. VW couldn't have realistically done this from the beginning and expected consumers to accept it. I'm actually a big fan of these retrofit cars, but only because they are now super cheap, I wouldn't consider the issues they have acceptable in a new car, at new car prices.
When you virtualise macOS it does expose the GPU, but only Metal is supported. However perhaps Mesa will be able to support OpenGL via paravirtualised Metal, for Linux and perhaps macOS and Windows.
The problem is that nobody wants to be solely a distributor. Every company in the pipe business eventually succumbs to the sweet profit temptation of being in the water-making business, and then they only want to pipe their own water, to the detriment of consumer choice.

I hope this can be outlawed but antitrust enforcement in the US is a pale shadow of what it once was.
Yeah, but we're specifically talking about 5 gig WAN. Like I said I use 10 gig internally too and see the use. It's a 5 gig connection to the wider internet that I am struggling to rationalize.
Had a secure server room with a maglock with very few cardholders and forgot our cards a few times. We wired-up a CD-ROM drive to a server positioned so that it pressed the door unlock button on the wall when it was ejected, so someone could ssh in to the server and "eject /dev/sr0" to get in.
I wonder if new Apple Watches have the same problem.

The iPhone wouldn’t be a problem for me, since I wouldn’t take it on a rollercoaster anyway, but I’d probably forget to take my watch off before every ride.
Experienced emacs users will beg to differ. It is as capable and arguably, more easily extensible. I must admit, it is not for everyone. As your anecdotal 10 years experience, I have the opposite opinion but I think it is fair to say that both, Graphical IDEs and emacs/vim, have their merits. Having transitioned from Graphical IDEs -> vim + plugins -> emacs + evil + configs + org-mode. I will never go back to my old self, I've never been as productive and free.
I would say people don't care too much and take the path of least resistance. If it was an out of the box option they would definitely love a system with good hardware and a configurable os.

When I spent some time and installed Linux on my MacBook Pro 2015 some people came asking for instructions (and were mostly deterred by the compiling needed to build a driver for the webcam).

Macbooks are unrivaled for their hardware (pretty much any other laptop sucks), the software is meh and keeps getting worse.
“You can be a very good software developer without ever touching a command-line interface or having a working knowledge of C”

No disrespect but that isn’t true. Touching the command line is required for sure.
You shut down your computer the usual way, from the OS, then toggle the plug to restart it. In case the system hangs during shut down, you'd actually want to know that it's hanging, which you can actually see in the power readings of the plug.

> I’m not too concerned with safety

I'm sorry to state that, but that much is evident from the photos in the blog post (assuming you're author here). While the voltages may look safe to you, the whole contraption is safe just until something goes wrong. Examples:

1. You push around a dangling wire and short out a more powerful circuit.

2. Something on your dev board for development purposes releases the grey smoke. 500mA at 5v may seem low to you, but under the right circumstances might cause a fire. I don't see any fuses or other overcurrent protection in your schematic.

3. Your mainboard gives a defect and runs more that the expected voltages/currents to your dev board. God forbid AC from something else faulty in the electric installation (just saying because I've been zapped from touching the outside of a closed case).

4. Power surges, lightning strikes... Static electricity even...
Seems like this challenges the underpinnings of the free market.

So according to the article we can start taxing everyone 100% once their income is above a certain level.

And the output of the economy will be better.
In Canada, this would be done "conservation officers" (conserving human civilization from the grubby claws of ferocious animals).
Quitting and getting terminated have very different consequences. Quitting does not entitle you to EI and could jeopardize severance/termination pay. To lose those benefits due to termination the termination must be for cause, which comes with a very high standard that an employer is exclusively required to justify.
That blog was posted 9 years ago. Needless to say, a lot of improvement and engineering has happened since then. The limited use cases of LWTs will soon be replaced with general, ACID transactions.

Ah, la petit mort, c’est bon!
It's "wrong" only if you believe that taking one's own life is wrong. This is a deep, long-standing issue that has valid points on both sides. Not so black and white. I can think of at least one good use case: where someone with a terminal disease (or otherwise poor quality of life, through no control of their own). Then, maybe, peacefully taking one's own life to reduce their own suffering, not to mention the suffering of their loved ones, might actually be the "right" choice. Hard to generalize this as a universal rule since context matters so much here.
There is a fundamental difference between a disease that causes pain that leads a rational, terminally ill person to choose a dignified death and a disease which induces pain and suicidal ideation, but which is treatable. Mental health treatment is available and mental illness is almost never terminal.
> When was that exactly

... and what was the population of the USA at that time, and of New York and Los Angeles?
Only on Ventura, which isn't out yet (and quite frankly, the pre-release version is still a huge mess)
The problem is that this works both ways.

I hate mandatory fun with a fiery passion. I absolutely dread these events (I’d do a happy hour any time, but these artificial things kill me).

Having said that, I’ve had several people on my team ask me for them.

Because of how I feel I know that others will hate them too and won’t be comfortable skipping the social event, but if I don’t organize something retention still drops.

It’s gotten more complex with remote work since we can’t do a quick thing “after work” but actually leave the office early that day so people still go home on time and because Zoom socials are awkward and unsatisfying compared to in person events and we have people on the team half a continent away now.

I think we’re headed towards a “retreat” type strategy where we either bring the people who are far away into the primary location for a week, or we all go somewhere. I don’t like either one of those options.
What a web RUM system or a JavaScript error logger that track groups by seasons? Or let’s say you’re testing a new feature with an AB test platform and the cookies are used to store bucket information?
Unless Python, then slither is fine.
Our solution was to run Linux native on all dev machines. Docker really is a Linux tool and it works much better under Linux. We were running JetBrains IDEs and doing mostly Go, Python and JS development, so the switch was pretty easy and painless.

The switch also dramatically reduced developer time spent solving Mac/Linux incompatibilities in tooling, and let us focus more on our product. Overall we accelerated development by about one day, per developer, per week. I was kind of surprised it was that much time, but looking back, there really are quite a few differences between the GNU userspace and MacOS.
Maybe I'm missing something, what are the actual commands for running a Linux x64 binary on macOS ARM?
Not IOS yet but macOs middle-ware like WINE. https://www.darlinghq.org/
I was sort of OK with the firmware being inaccessible when it couldn't talk to the internet. But times changed.
