Not me personally but the last place I worked had change managers. Jiras had to be tagged, reviewed, risk ranked and approved even before being considered for the change management meetings. Every change would be scrutinized in the meeting and re-risk-ranked or declined if need be. The final changes would be in a confluence/jira dashboard and would be operated in specific orders during the change windows. This process cut our unplanned outages down considerably and kept the change windows smaller and customers happier.

As for reverting changes, the lead engineers and the change manager would sort that out. There would be RCA's Root Cause Analysis to determine what went wrong. No finger pointing, just preventing future flubs.

It was rough at first but once people got into the groove changes moved along much smoother and people were able to get some sleep.
I'm not sure what you're talking about, but the advice itself seems useful, regardless of the messenger. There's nothing inherently toxic about it.

I met her a few years ago and she seemed like a friendly, kind person. And, that didn't make me agree with the content of the video more.
Obviously these are symptoms of a rotten regime to some extent, but clearly motivated by something.

Is it overzealous imperial ambition, or the reverse, fear of being marginalized or even overrun?

I remember at one point after the fall of Soviet Russia the new CIS being cheered at the Olympics. It seemed they could be part of a greater Europe, and everything would be great.

I wonder why that fell apart. Did USA decide that would detract from US power, and 'encouraged' everyone to shun Russia? If that's the case, who's really the bad guy?

The point is, there's much more history and politics and ambition going on than the crass headlines.
For anyone who doesn’t want to watch the video the key differences that made Gamers Nexus cables better than what Igor showed was GNs cables were 300V rated vs 150V and the solder joints where the cable meets the connector bus bar was higher quality.
Only in the US does one's "carrier" have anything to do with what is on one's phone ...
Mindset. Imagine you are made destitute and thrown on the street. Even without connections, a former billionare will rise faster and easier than someone used to poverty. Knowledge is secondary and requires that same mindset to make use of. Of course money alone doesn't grant the mindset, but those with it seem to rub off and consider things differently. Such as Creating Wealth rather than Looking for a Job or handout.
But you must understand taking pride in your work. I don't know if I'd have called it honorable, but there is certainly no honor in sneakily doing shitty work on purpose. I wouldn't write software if it didn't give me satisfaction, and doing a shitty job is never satisfying.
What exactly is the conflict of interest here?
No, this is about modules. See first line and this is verbatim from the book.
I mean there is still not porn on Tumblr and Automattic has been a good steward of it. Verizon lost a billion dollars because they bet on a growth play for a mature social network where their new owners are running it like a lifestyle business.
> in the first one he’s captured all sentences beginning with Intelligent, Intellectual, Intelligence

This is simply not true. Look at the files in the repo directly

Intel is ^Intel$. The nouns are separated by word boundaries
You're living in the 2010s. In most of the world a phone is a necessity everywhere one goes. To access bus or metro, to communicate to work, etc.
People do their utmost because of mutual respect, and because of the expectation of conducting repeat business - not because of honor.

Try telling your elderly parents' social worker you want to gauge their performance, because you're shopping around for someone new, and only A-players are acceptable. Then watch how much care and kindness your parents receive out of honor alone.

Going above the call of duty for "honor" is not a virtue. It's being a doormat.
There is plenty of evidence for the agreement in written diplomatic records.
What luxury do men have in 2022?

The luxury of not being able to express feelings?

The luxury of having a smaller chance of getting hired?

The luxury of having a higher suicide rate?

The luxury of getting constantly called out on social media?

The luxury of being told to stop whining when we point these things out?
It should work for g++, as long as you build you own "std" module (which sadly is
somewhat complicated) and enables -fmodule-ts. I guess he's hoping that will be easier in 2023.

What bothers me more is the lack of "return 0"
The keyword "import" should clue you into why, which I'm guessing the book explains at some point earlier. You need to enable C++ modules.
I’ve always wondered - does the first coupling in a train bear the energy to pull all of the rest of the cars? And each coupling behind has one car less energy on it? Or does it all somehow even out due to some effect named after some 19th century European scientist? :-)

In which case, wouldn’t the strain on the first coupling be insane in this train?
According to https://www.theamericanconservative.com/the-last-cassette-pl... , Tanashin no longer makes tape mechanisms. The so-called "Tanashin" mechanisms found in modern products are actually Chinese mechanisms based on old Tanashin designs.
Larry Ellison famously once said "if you aren't a developer, and you aren't a salesman, then tell me real slow just what it is you do".

He doesn't know the Twitter employees. Seems reasonable to ask employees you know to give you a technical read on how things stand.
> You still hold a monopoly-like position in many areas simply because... people have to eat.

That's not what "monopoly" means. Whether you "have to eat" is irrelevant. Most states have monopolies on gambling, but even though nobody has to buy lottery tickets, it's still a monopoly.

Wow, that must be annoying. Imagine you're almost late to go somewhere, or you have an actual medical emergency and the car says nope, now I'm updating...

Seriously I would probably remove the antenna or the sim card for the car's data connection.
I have notice that the price is usually the lowest when a console is two generations behind. After that there is a bit of resurgence from nostalgia collecting.
> if a service wants to know the last book you read, and doesn't trust the events to be in order, then it would make sense to just call the service.

It would make more sense to me if the events had an increasing sequence number, version number or accurate timestamp, so that if I record that "'sithlord' last read 'The Godfather' at event '123456'" I can record that, and ignore any event related to "sithlord last read" with event < 123456.

This is not a new problem, there are existing solutions to it.
I fully agree, but I can't resist nitpicking:

There is a detector of gravity in/near the earhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_system It detects average gravity and is used for balance. But it (obviously) does not detect gravitational waves.

As the other comment said, some birds can detect magnetic field. And also some bacteria (archea?). They are also low sample rate detectors, enough to detect the direction (but IIRC not the strength).
This makes me think of the many programmers who started with BASIC on the early 6502/Z80 systems. BASIC of that era was a truly atrocious language (it got better later) but many of those people went on to learn better tools and make the computing world we know today. The original primitive tool served its purpose, which was largely to get people excited about the possibility of shaping their own experience instead of just consuming prepackaged applications. AFAICT Lil is a far better language than early BASIC, and that's enough.
In a former life I ran a company that had forums for our customers that could be viewed by the public. Our policy was to never delete or edit posts. It was great until we had about 2000 customers. Then we got a handful of about 10 nutjobs who formed a small clique to cause trouble. They disagreed with some of our policies & fees, which is fine - we let them have their say about it.

The problem was, instead of just leaving our service after posting their disagreements, they stayed, because they were actually making money from their business with us. But they were so bitter about fee changes, they couldn't let it go. They came to dominate the forum discussion, not because they had anything useful to contribute other than their original disagreements, but because they had a lot of energy to post the same thing over and over.

It devolved into death threats against us, believe it or not, on a forum that we were publishing. How would you handle that in a censor-free environment?
In a typical acquisition this would have taken place under NDA during due diligence, before closing the deal. But Elon waived it.

Now he’s apparently trying to find this shadowy “fifth column” of engineering over the weekend so they could be fired before RSUs vest on Tuesday. It sounds completely ridiculous but isn’t entirely implausible since, after all, we’re talking about the same person who committed $44 billion without due diligence.

The “censorship” aspect is pretty interesting because nobody seems to care about retaining existing users. HN has much stricter moderation than Twitter. Imagine someone buys this site tomorrow, fires dang and lets conspiracy theories run wild. Would you stay? I wouldn’t. And a social site is only as valuable as its users. If the new owner of HN promised he’s going to make this site into a “super-app”, it wouldn’t make any difference — I wouldn’t come back, just as I’m not going back to MySpace or Twitter.

Nobody in Elon-space seems to be bothered that there’s no undo on alienating a social network’s user base. I guess they expect to get a billion new users somehow (who also want to pay for the service since that’s floated as a business model for Twitter). But to me, this whole deal feels like Tumblr joining Yahoo.
The takeaway is clearly stated at the end: two extremely successful authors took very different paths to success and currently live two very different lifestyles — all based on their personality types.

Cal Newport is sharing these examples to the reader to impart the idea that you should try to match your career _style_ to your personality. You can pursue the exact same career as someone else, but if the __way_ you pursue it doesn’t match your personality style, you probably won’t be happy.
I wonder what kind of performance setback this resulted in.

Didn't JavaScript runtimes get close to C/C++ performance exactly because they started using JIT compilation?
He says in the book (right after introducing that example), "if you have trouble with import std;, try the old-fashioned and conventional #include <iostream> ..." And he shows a snippet with that.
The touch screen is one thing. To your point, arguably it's no incremental cost.

But I don't buy that electro-mechanical latches and actuators and wiring cost less than a dumb latch.
I have a car with a touchscreen all in one for audio and such.

I have to use bluetooth to connect my phone, rather than being able to just use USB. When starting the car, it loses the connection, and sometimes can't reestablish it. And like 1/10 times it asks me to stop the car to be able to pair it again.

Especially annoying if it happens when I want to use GPS through my phone.

(My record was having to stop -> start my car 3 times)
And pay back taxes with penalties.
I think there's value in having a verified online identity. A place someone could find out a good bit about how you think. Twitter seems like a pretty good place to do that.
Etsy Engineering – Being a Dynamic Leader
I've used the iPad/tablet systems at airports. They usually work great.

What I don't like, however, are:

• Full-screen ads that you need to scroll past, to get at the menu.

• Request/Requirement to sign up an account (even if less "in your face," it's still creepy as hell, because this crowd, especially, knows exactly what will happen to that data).

• Enticements to "download our app." I have stopped downloading these apps, because, in the best case, they are watered-down Web pages, and in the worst case, borderline malware (why does a menu app require all my contacts and pictures?).

• Awful information architecture, that makes it difficult to find what you need (with a paper menu, it's less than a second. With a phone menu, it can take ten seconds or more, and, on a couple of occasions, I never found something that I knew the restaurant had).

Phones aren't iPads. The systems frequently seem to have been designed for tablets, and often, the phone experience is a watered-down, "lesser" experience to a tablet.

I'm really big on end-user experience optimization (as opposed to app developer experience optimization), so I know that I'm a cranky customer.
How is a manual glovebox latch more expensive than an electronic latch?

I think there must be consumer demand for this feature. Oh how luxurious it must feel to never have to use a manual latch unlike the unwashed…

The title says it covers C++20 with some C++23 features. This requires a module version of the standard library's iostreams mechanism - and that's a C++23 feature.

In 2023, compilers are likely to support this - and you will have a less-obsolete book. If Bjarne had written a C++20-only book, it would have been supported by existing compilers, but would have gotten older, quicker.
> Living in London, I cannot really remember when was the last time I talk to a stranger

I lived in central London (Camden) for 15 years before moving to Stockholm, and almost every day was full of small encounters and discussions with strangers: about the weather, bemoaning our politicians, whether the food was any good, and so on.

London is a super-chatty town, and people constantly want to engage each other - even sometimes when you’re not in the mood.

If you want to see a place where strangers NEVER speak to each other (unless you’re obviously a tourist and the locals want to give you a good impression of their home-town), then come here to Stockholm. Right now there’s a big ad campaign running, encouraging people to say “hello!” To their neighbors (campaign is called “Hej granne!”)

Yep people don’t even say hi to the person they meet in the stairs.
The process of privatization of Soviet assets was a feeding frenzy of corruption and desperation that we cannot even begin to comprehend in the west. Neo-liberal ideologues in the west were implicated in those policy choices, and rightfully hated for it.

Putin and his strong men moved in to "clean up" that mess, and forced a slightly more responsible kleptocratic regime in. And replaced Soviet era Stalinist ideology with intense conservative nationalism that -- alongside super high energy sector profits -- stabilized Russian society. Except it has done so with an explicitly anti-western focus.

There's no chance of hugging and getting along here. Too many competing interests. But it need not have been this hostile. NATO's expansion into Poland and the Baltics etc. can be seen in many ways, but if I were living next to Russia I myself would probably welcome it.

Official ideology in Russia is explicitly imperial and ethno-supremacist in an open and brutal way that clearly requires containment. NATO has a complicated history and structure that I can't always support, but it is the only tool that is going to work at this time.
Does Twitter have a large, observable quality problem. If there is one, I never noticed it myself but I’m not a particularly active user.

I think their main problem is they thought their role was thought shaping via sneaky algorithms. I think the main thing Elon should be looking to remove is those that fundamentally do not believe in free speech, since the culture of the company has changed so materially.
You're right. Apparently, it's supported only by MSVC at the moment (Standard Library Modules): https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/compiler_support

The Author missed the point of merino wool and moisture. Wool keeps you warm even when wet, polyester does not. Personally I find the anti odor properties of all wools to be their biggest draw, and polys greatest issue. b'But for base layers specifically, when you get sweaty in the winter in polyester you risk the sweat then freeze feedback loop.

F-14 was a very complex and expensive to maintain. A beauty, but an Hangar Queen in her last years.

Like there was the "century" fighters, F-102, F-104, F-105, F-106.
Blind devotion to your employer or country is not a virtue, but a naive idealism. Honor is just a general heuristic for doing good, it's not the good itself. Doing good is done on a case by case basis, ideals are just a guide. We have to evaluate all our actions with an ethical criticality.
I live in Finland, where the stereotype is that people don't do smalltalk, or interact with strangers.

But I see the same faces daily, in everyday life such as going to the local store. I've spent months chatting/flirting with the random people I come across, and it almost always goes well.
> Such as the US backed coup in 2012, the shelling on the Donbas for almost a decade, corruption in high levels of the Ukraine government, questions over Russia’s democratic integrity, etc…

While such complaints can gradually put pressure on regulators, businesses should just take a stand and stop supporting ios. Pull a leaf out of Apple's book and do what they did to flash. We have a wonderful platform in the web. The web is truly universal, has stood the test of time and is in many ways, better than native applications.

Given how desktop technologies are slowly converging on web, I predict it is a matter of time before mobile apps follow suit. You might as well be the one to inspire this change. So stop complaining and be the change you want to see. If you run a half decent service your users care about, they will follow you to the web. Sometimes it only takes one for everyone else to follow.
I’ve considered that too: that when you buy an old car you’re doing so the way a motorcyclist approaches riding their motorcycle. You know you’re going to lose in any collision but you are as defensive a rider/driver as possible and you take the risks because you love the ride.
…because that’s a major tangent (or straw man; presumably intentional) away from the topic being discussed?
Strange then to find (~Greek) Gnostic writings that have the Pythagores and Zaratustra attending Babylonian seminars, with latter teaching the former 'astronomy'. Archaic, no doubt, but put yourself in the place of the reader (in the "West") at the time of the writing and ask youself: What "divide"? Political order differences? East Asia was and remains far more 'alien' to Iranians that Greeks. Note that the East Asians who do not have a dog in this fight, typically group us all together and don't make the distinction.
How about don't play stupid whataboutist games in which somehow US crimes justify Russian ones?

FWIW I'm not a citizen of either country, and my country didn't kill Iraqis because our citizens forced our government to not get involved.

Their point is that inflation measures consumer goods such as milk. How much milk do you need to buy in your lifetime?

Wealthy people don’t use their money to buy milk, they use it to invest in businesses and to buy real estate, asset prices which don’t track the inflation rate at all (currently inflation is up and assets are down).

That's not entirely true. Nonlinear effects exist. E.g. fluorescence can cause emission of one light frequency after being hit with another.

Regardless of that, you could also make a physical model of the human retina, and use that to remove any parts from the model that you think are redundant.

Also, the tools that Pantone uses to map colors have some kind of built-in physical model already, I suppose (not a Pantone expert obviously).
That's probably a necessary, but not sufficient response. Russia wasn't at war in 2014. The Soviets weren't at war in Korea or Vietnam. These are distinctions the West made.
And quite often the volume controls are linear, rather than exponential.

> This is veering into made-up-job world. These people are getting fired. All these tasks can be done by developers.

Ah, the good old Google playbook. If you read their paper about how SRE came to be, it basically says: “we noticed there was friction between developers and system administrators so we fired all our system administrators and hired developers to do their job instead.” It doesn’t really make the job disappear however. It’s just a different way of approaching it.
Good lord no, that’s the worst metric to measure someone by. The diffs one produces on a mature codebase are usually tiny but with a small novel in the ticket about what the change will affect.

I could pump those numbers up easily but my coworkers would hate me for it.
Prob as bad as touch screen steering
At my last employer before retiring (not tech but used a lot) has a very unique (and way larger than Twitter) complex set of businesses. They change at an insane pace and often involve things that in the end don't ship, resulting in crazy complex code base networks. We also had 100's of teams building every kind of software imaginable (server api's, web apps, mobile apps, internal apps, hardware with embedded code, etc). Anyone from the outside coming in cold to examine the code would have no idea where to even start, much less be able to evaluate anything. It's not that any individual thing was necessarily complex, but there were so many interconnected business practices and related businesses that understanding how they relate is very hard for anyone who has been there for years much less someone from an unrelated industry.

For example you could look at my team's mobile codebases and probably figure out what was going on, but understanding all the services we consumed, and what they consumed, etc. (given the deep mix of micro services and macroservices) would make understanding the why of the entire system impossible.
Why should a "moral case" be the overriding conceptual framework to analyze geopolitical dispute? If the goal is to accurately predict the space of responses and maximize one's own interests, citing the moral properties of the dispute is counter-productive.
