Netflix of eight years ago rewarded real engineering work (I left then so I don't know how it is now). Metrics didn't really play a part in anything other than providing information to guide business decisions (like direction and success, not comp). Or more specifically, they used a lot of metrics to determine comp but they weren't individual, they were market metrics of how much it cost to get new people on board.

I work at Meta, my opinions are my own, and I'm speaking to this point in general, not specific to my time at Meta.

Small, incremental changes are great because they're easier to review, easier to verify, and safer to roll out. What's important during the review is seeing the whole picture. It's possible for changes that are locally sane to produce something globally goofy. I've also seen changes for larger projects with multiple reviewers miss an important piece because each reviewer assumed it was a change the other person looked at.

> This is how large companies operate once they surpass the innovation phase

I heard someone smart (maybe Naval Ravikant) say on a podcast that this becomes prevalent in orgs which have two or more layers of management between real customer-facing work and business ownership (CEO, co-founder, CTO, etc). Having worked in several startups as well as F500 FAANG-ish valley tech companies, I agree. When a manager reports to a manager who's reporting to someone else degradation begins to occur. Another tip is to look at the org chart. If your manager's manager has more than six (maybe up to 8) direct reports, that's a bad sign.

However, there are exceptions to be found in specific sub-groups in some orgs. I've been witness to it more than once.

This thread comes at a fortuitous time: I’m exploring a product idea around making a toolkit for reasoning about how schemas and tables are inter related across an organizations database systems.

The near term is to make it easier for organizations to maintain the various gdpr style mandated user data export and deletion capabilities without it getting in the way of / blocked by continuously evolving software systems efforts.

The same sort of tooling could also be used to help data analysis folks navigate the huge sea of tables in various datalake setups organizations are so eager to setup (it can be tricky seeeing which things are usefully joinable among many many evolving datasets that might be in that setting.

This of course isn’t really aimed at solo engineer sized application Systems such as the original poster, but is it something folks would find useful?

The idea of having programs that don't crash under memory pressure is one of the things that I really hope developers will start striving for more in the near future.

A database that doesn't OOM crash is great, and the same is also true for more consumer-grade software.

Do you also feel that other types of art (movies, music, architecture, video games, etc) "shouldn’t be presented as such an emotional experience"? If not, can you unpack why you think software should be treated differently? I'm not trying to be combative, just to understand.
Heh. I suspect we could argue this all day, partly because there is very little we're actually disagreeing on, and I suspect much that we do agree on (or at least, I find your arguments well-stated and have upvoted accordingly, and mostly agree with them.)

As I said in my original post, I doubt there's a way of halting the shift in meaning in real-world usage. I just find that it impoverishes the word and degrades the ability to express something that is worth expressing.

I don't, in fact, have any problem with any of your three examples. The Twitter one is the most problematic, but it still works because I disagree with "users don't create new users"—they kind of do: if 10% of users convince one friend to join, then you have exponential growth. If size were proportional to the network effects, which are quadratic, then the statement would bother me. And it might be, for all I know, but given that (1) there's a decent argument for it being exponential and (2) it's not like there's that big of a difference between a quadratic curve and an exponential curve bounded at the very least by the world population, well... I guess I'm not that pedantic!

As for the 3rd sentence, what kind of jerk would I be to reject such a warm and honest expression of your love? ;-) More seriously, once something is figurative then keeping the original meaning of exponential enhances the declaration—there's a subtle implication that love produces love.

I've gotta stop replying to this thread, though!
I remember the early 90s, when the women at the local groceries store (Aldi Germany) were equally as fast when typing in the prices of the articles using just a numpad keyboard on the register - before barcode scanners were a thing. Today it seems surreal or special, but back then you were basically considered a trained professional on the checkout counter.
That can also work - but backups that aren't used can atrophy - and market segments could mean that what "works" for the company isn't what the company is selling.

It might be a goal to move everything internal (I believe Google is now using Google Apps internally, but they didn't for awhile, even after other businesses were).

The topic is centred around off-hand remarks made by someone as to why they aren't doing something (such as using their own product) and how, as pointed out by willio58, "conflict of interest" is used where there is no actual demonstration of conflict of interest. We're not talking about military rigor, as interesting as that subject may also be.

Again, "conflict of interest" is what people often say when they don't know if it will affect them, but don't want to take the risk. "Regulation requires it", as illustrated in the first comment, is what people say when caselaw actually demonstrates that they would be liable.

The fun thing about language is that it is fluid and can take many forms.
We try to upgrade at least once a year, during our slow season (ed-tech, so summer time is < 1/10th peak traffic).

We use AWS Aurora with Postgres and we autoscale our cluster. Because most upgrades have a few perf improvements we have found that we save a bit of money every time we upgrade, either in reduced CPU (which translates to running fewer instances) or in better memory efficiency (which boosts buffer_cache_hit_ratio and therefore reduces IO).

I often find it difficult at the beginning/end of the day to just...sit and make plans (life, work, etc). I can knock out Todo list items, but long-term critical thinking is becoming way more difficult that I remember.

I'm mid-way through my career and have a young family. Perhaps this is just "Dad brain" where my mind has adapted to constantly reacting to entropy vs anticipating the environment.

Alright, let's consider this: my current gross salary is at 47k €. With what my boss pays, let's say it would be the equivalent of 100k in the US (unemployment, social security, etc). And I'm from France, which is a pretty wealthy first world country. My salary puts me in about the top 20% in terms of salary.

If you think I wouldn't be able to commute for 2 hours every day for 2.5x salary so i could save up MY ENTIRE CURRENT SALARY IN A YEAR, you have massive blinders preventing you from realising how privileged of a status it'll be. The amount of people that can put 50k aside in a year is ridiculously small. And 50k is actually being awful at saving, you can easily reach 100k if you're not a dumbass.

Now consider this for an indian H1B, who can pretty much make an entire family live like kings off of that.

No, you don't realise just how much of a life changing amount 250k is.

i think that is a calculation only op can make. the european union covers over 400 million people. making some early design decisions in what data you collect, how you store it, for a lot of people is an acceptable cost to open up to such a large quantity of people.

in fact, it think advising a founder that is bootstrapping their business that the only "reasonable" course of action is to exclude large swathes of the developed world is frankly, misguided.

> An investment of $15,000 or less in an individual stock, or of $50,000 or less in an industry-specific mutual fund, isn’t deemed a conflict of interest under federal regulations.

> An FTC spokesman said the agency officials had followed the law.

While I don't really want to see regulators owning any amount of individual stocks in companies they're directly regulating, the $15,000 individual stock limit limits the impact quite a bit. Even if someone did own $15,000 of an individual stock, the personal financial gain/loss of even major regulatory actions isn't a huge amount.

Also keep in mind that you can't buy basically any large cap mutual fund without owning significant amounts of Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, and other large companies.

Yea but there is a decent amount of awareness around it. Regulators, not so much.

Simply letting COVID run rampant may have done less economic damage because it’s vastly less deadly to working age populations, but we would have sacrificed a significant chunk of the population.

There are also the forgotten fears of mutation and the unknown of the disease. PPP was envisioned/passed around April 2020. Back then, we knew relatively little of the disease and feared it becoming deadlier and more transmissible if it were able to evolve. Fortunately, it didn't (to the degree we feared) but it very well may have if the US had simply let it run loose.

My best advice is to try to make the sale, even before you have something ready. You'll learn what parts of your pitch are connecting with them, and which are confusing to them.

But more importantly, you're going to understand if you get the problem as well as you think you do. And you're going to understand if they like your solution to that problem as much as you hope they do.

So, email a few of these potential customers. See if they'll take a call with you. If none do, you're not there yet. But if even one does, you're about to get a ton of information in 30 minutes. Good luck!

That's where I used to be for years, first in Tiddlywiki, then away from that as it was having trouble with browsers (it's good again now, I gather) and into a Dropbox folder of pseudo-markdown text files.

That said, I've stuck with Obsidian so far, specifically because it doesn't lock me into a format. I was able to drop it on top of my folder-o-markdown & go from there. We'll see if it sticks, but so far so good.
Thanks, for some reason I thought they aim at comparable usecases.
Another metric idea for you:

This is NOT "literally a port of an older curses lib to the latest .net". It is a complete API for building terminal UI applications using .NET that leverages curses under the covers when running in a non-Windows environment (on Windows it uses the native Windows console APIs).

For completeness, Terminal.Gui is built on top of a "Console Abstraction Layer" (CAL; I just invented that term), via the "ConsoleDriver" base class. There are four subclasses provided:

- CursesDriver: Uses curses and is the default on Linux/Mac.

- WindowsDriver: Uses the Windows console API and is the default on Windows (only works on Windows)

- NetDriver: Uses the .NET console API and works on all platforms

- FakeDriver: Used for unit testing.

NetDriver is the slowest. WindowsDriver is the fastest. CursesDriver is the biggest bugfarm ;-).
I am not sure it is a correct comparison. Wallets are here to stay so if you are anyways investing in wallets and payments, how much more work is banking? Especially if it is being done by someone else (Goldman Sachs)and if Apple is looking at only technical aspects of the platform.

Edit: sometimes you can get only so much (very little) insight into a business unless you run it, at least a small version of it. I have no opinion on them running a savings bank but it will be really interesting if they ever brought something challenging visa and Mastercard. Not sure if that will ever happen it will be interesting to speculate what if because that market adds on quite a bit to so many small businesses operational cost. You buy from Costco, sell at store, basically finance has added 6% cost there (recoverable with rewards but not for everyone) and if someone can reduce it to 1%, the market dynamic will probably change.
Isn't everyone investing in FAANG etc. at this point? Like if you have a retirement fund you own these stocks almost guaranteed. Probably beyond the 50K industry specific limits mentioned elsewhere in here too

It's not necessarily the numbers.

They don't want to come out saying inflation looks close to normal when people feel otherwise. Not to mention, I think I did see some articles say the .1% was way unexpected and lower. I also think I saw that .4% was higher than expected.

It gets oversensationalized. That happens with other topics in the media too.
Busybox is the forefront example of this in my mind. Busybox is a single binary that provides a ton of POSIX utilities (including sh, awk, ls, cp, nc, rm, gzip, and about 300 other common ones), and these can be invoked with `busybox $command`, or a symlink may be made from the command name to the `busybox` binary to automatically do the same. Many embedded Linux systems just use busybox and a ton of symlinks to act as the majority of the userland.

You’re assuming everyone actually obeyed the restrictions which is a pretty funny assumption. It only takes one person in a household to go to a gathering that wasn’t supposed to happen (and there were plenty of those) and then come back and get everyone else sick.

In any case that 10% is ~10,000 people saved. For the brief period of time when people largely followed the restrictions I feel like that is a good ROI. That’s 3 September 11ths, what did we sacrifice trying to avoid another one of those?
