You are, I am sorry to say, mistaken. The Raj era was huge. There is very old article (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1908/10/the-new...).

<blockquote>But the government is as complete a bureaucracy as that of Russia.</blockquote>

The British Raj kept creating more and more bureaucracy paid for taxes exacted by causing famines, increasing in frequency and intensity. This system was inherited by Nehru and Congress. They were socialists so they increased bureaucracy but they didn't increase corruption - independent India has not seen a famine caused by taxes even in the direst of times.
Ask HN: How to Manage Up Effectively?
How does one go about learning to manage up effectively? How to communicate with someone higher up effectively especially when the higher up is a stubborn person with a fixed mindset.
You can expect the Donald to be unbanned. You can also expect twitter to become the same cesspool that truth social is.
Once I have to “refactor” my base the fun was gone for me. I like building stuff, but going back and doing janitor work is not fun for me.

Currently, you build a base from the very lowest tech all the way up to the highest tech in a single go. What would possibly make the game less tedious for me is if a single play through was split up into different levels with mini objectives. Once you complete the level mini objective you move on to a different map and start a new base at a higher tech level. That way you can just throw away all of the “tech debt” of the old base while starting at a higher tech level.

I imagine this would be a different game mode, but it would make the game more attractive to a wider audience in my opinion.
The conundrum is: how do you build an organization that can simultaneously scale super-linearly and retain a commitment to quality? There are plenty of businesses that pursue stable profitability or linear growth and maintain quality. But the faster an organization grows, the more it becomes metrics-driven, and outside of a regulated industry where quality is a requirement, it's hard to balance the priorities.

I'm reminded of Honeycomb's pointed experiment in setting up a rotating employee seat as a voting member of their board: https://www.protocol.com/workplace/board-of-directors-honeyc... - this type of thing can contribute towards striking the right balance at all levels of an organization. But it's definitely not a solved problem.
I'll hazard a guess that since Reddit is at least vaguely self-selected topical, it's possible to evade a lot of the stuff any particular user doesn't like. I personally read some technical reddits, some palaeontology redits, and a few "metro" reddits that are near where I live. I've never seen the amount of puzzlingly irrelevant ads, bots, spam, racism and fascism I regularly saw on Twitter (I've deleted my account).

For Twitter, you get what the algorithm selects for you. Clearly that algorithm has some cut-outs for advertising, and particular accounts, and after that, I won't hazard a guess. But it's not topical the same way subreddits are.
I had naively assumed that "YouTube Premium" would add functionality that users would pay for instead of leaving it the same and reducing the experience for everyone else. I'm apparently a moron.
Sadly as the monetary system is getting more and more unfair and it's getting harder for people to survive, due process and respect of property and privacy rights are getting thrown out of the window.

I'm a benefitor from the low interest rate environment of the last decades (most of us in tech are), but I can understand the billions of people who haven't.

> us in the left are generally non conformist

That was true in the distant past, but in the past decade or two it seems to be changing from my perspective. For context, my perspective is that of an extreme libertarian who was raised and lives in a very "red" state.

The major political parties offer a fair example of this - the GOP had the "Never Trumpers" who consistently and publicly opposed the party's presidential nominee (and later, the party's President). There are often right-wing "spoiler" candidates that run alongside Republicans and dilute the vote. On the other hand, I don't recall the last time there was a popular left-wing "spoiler" in a race.

Democrats are very good at uniting behind a single candidate and getting a subset of their agenda pushed through. Republicans seem to infight the entire time, even when they have power.

I find it odd that gitea uses github.
I use it like this:

* Never go to https://youtube.com to find anything. Only go to YouTube when it's a known link you found on another site. I don't need recommendations or ads

* Copy the URL, paste it into yt-dlp

* Wait a few seconds for the video to download and watch it in my viewer of choice with no crap attached.
You just realized that the world runs on mediocrity?

I'm also annoyed that I can't sort for oldest videos.

I remember being a 10-year old and reading these kinds of threads on the Neopets forums everytime a UI change happened. Back then, everyone would promise to switch to a competitor. Then everyone would forget, get attached to the new UI, and then if they ever changed it again (even changing it back to be more similar to the old one!) we'd hear the say peans about how they are ruining it.

Here I am, crimping wires for a 3D printer that will draw at most a quarter of the current, and NVIDIA is just giving out connectors with shoddily soldered connections? Shame! It also looks like they think strain relief is optional.

EDIT: This is a crimped wire for ATX power connectors: https://modmymods.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/a8...

Notice that the insulation is also crimped, making sure that the actual electrical connection doesn't flex.
Coming soon to the EU: graphics cards powered by three USB-C connectors.
> explicitly promotes bigotry against ideas they don't hold dear (alt-right, etc)

The alt-right is specifically a hate group. They're defined by their racism and bigotry. This is a prime example of "you want to censor us because you disagree" being claimed in bad faith.

You're familiar with the Paradox of Tolerance, right? There's no way you're not, it gets brought up in every thread that talks about censorship.

> I don't care what you practice, just don't shove it in my face and tell me to love it.

Nobody is trying to tell you to love it.

What they ARE doing is trying to get homophobes and transphobes to stop accusing them of being groomers. Stop treating them like degenerates. Stop trying to restrict their rights. Stop trying to allow discrimination against LGBT.

They don't want you to LOVE it, they want you to merely ACCEPT it.
i think the point is that the code isn't really an "asset" of an open-source project, because anybody who wants to take it can have it, regardless of their affiliation with the "project".

I remember one guy in my company had hard-on on blocking every way to tunnel out of our network (...that was not required by anyone, he was just security nut).

We had sites blacking out because he decided DNS tunnelling bad so he blocked anything with low TTL. Meanwhile simple POC DNS tunnel worked fine..
I'd argue that the most important thing to consider when trying to communicate effectively is this: know your audience.

One "low resolution" (using author's terminology) sentence might actually communicate more effectively than a "high resolution" one, given the right context and right audience. Similarly, a "high resolution" text over explain and perhaps even offend the reader.

In short, it depends.
I think the thing that really made factorio fun for me was deciding early on to NOT look at anyone else's designs online. Having the "correct" or "most efficient" answers handed to you removes the design part of the game and turns your base into a carbon copy of everyone else's base. I spent days figuring out how to make loops with train signals that would allow a train to spin endlessly in a circle at full-speed waiting for the path to become clear. I could have just looked up how to do that, but then I'd get no sense of accomplishment.
The "ergonomics" and incentives of Twitter do seem to encourage all-or-nothing, ignoring or dogpiling, on something. See the "Main Character of the Day" phenomenon.
Very much this. I like to write my documentation in Markdown because it allows me to be fast, while still having some structures. Then I paste the draft in Google Docs when I want to share and have people comment on it. Tooling matters and if I'm the one doing something, I want to actually choose how I'm doing it.
Bad luck in my case it seems, I'll just have to wait until they release the next update.

The last time I commented on a previous story about this debacle, people pointed out that molex melt all the time and that this wasn't a big deal. I saw that they were right that molex do melt sometimes, but these adapters have been on the market for what, a week? It felt like there was something wrong with the quality for it to happen so often with specifically these parts.
I read the article and I must have missed where it's stated that he is a climate denier or that alternative medicine is or is not bullshit. Those are just two of several examples where he tries to show the lack of neutrality.
I don't know dude. Ironically if you are poor in a place like Boston, you can go to Man's Greatest Hospital.

> Yes, you need to obtain “permission” before you build any manufacturing structure on your own land with your own money.

I don't understand why this is phrased as incredulous. Are there countries where this isn't the case? Just because you own the land -which you don't, you merely have a title that grants you the exclusive, but limited, usage rights of that land- does not mean you are free to just build whatever you want?

That said, Indian paperwork is famous for being Futurama levels of bureaucracy with Balkan levels of bribery. It's why giant corporations just don't bother with India, and why small store owners just don't even bother: just run your business until they crack down, which they won't as long as you keep a low profile.
No, they aren't better. I don't disagree with you about their decline. My take is just that the shine came off Amazon 5 years ago and it has now essentially stabilized as a 'just good enough' store with great logistics.

I have Affinity Photo and suffer the same problems. I was never a Photoshop expert, nor a designer (I know its fallen out of fashion for web design), but I had been using it for 20 years.

I struggle and get frustrated with affinity photo (why are there multiple types of pixel layer??), even if it is good software, because to me - wrongly, of course - photoshop is de facto _how_ a photo editor should work. I'm sure I'll adjust with time. But I use photo editors less than ever, so it's very slow going.

But, I can't really complain for the price I paid, and no subscription necessary. A lot of respect for Affinity in that regard. It's a business model that is becoming increasingly rare.
If a single PM can screw up this badly, that's a complete failure of the NVIDIA bureaucracy.

Watch the Mentour Pilot video; there was a display in the cockpit which showed the actual control surface movement. Why didn't they catch it? I'd guess it was because they were just a regular flight crew as opposed to acceptance test pilots, had never ever seen cross-connected controls before, and when they tested the controls they saw "yep, the surfaces moved" and it just didn't register that some of them were in the wrong direction.

I'm not defending that women shouldn't be senior software engeneers, but if someone would defend that, it doesn't make him a bigot just because he proposes that and have some arguments, only if those arguments were debunked and the person wouldn't be willing to change his mind, then yes, it sounds like a bigot. But my feeling is, that this step is completely ignored in most of the cases. People are called bigots without any attempts at understanding the reasoning, it is the easy way...I'm not defending that women shouldn't be senior engeneers

Which part are you taking issue with?
Having heard "fire hazard" from a nvidia fan as a justification for their user-hostile signed firmware (it blocks free drivers from using the cards at full speed), now I think we can put that excuse among the myths.

I see no good will in blocking free Linux drivers, just the same crap that earned Torvald's salute.

That they now opened a kernel driver is small improvement if the firmware remains signed.
You confusion stems from conflating 1A and freedom of speech. It's reasonable to expect a corporation of Twitter's influence and size to recognise this particular human right.
I'm curious as to why no vendor has yet tried to push a 24V or 48V PSU rail standard to reduce the amperage pushed over these crappy pins. Of course then the board itself needs to be able to handle the higher voltage for down-conversion, but don't these systems usually use switching / Buck regulators as the first stage anyway, which could easily be tuned to handle the higher input voltage with minimal loss added?

If you would like to make a LongBet [1], I'm willing to take the other side and wager $1000 (to a charity of the winner's choice) that EVs move full speed ahead, hydrogen dies except possibly for trucks and niche use cases, and that range extenders are never deployed in material quantities.

The Tesla Model Y is currently the best selling vehicle in Europe, and fully electric cars made up 16 percent of total registrations during the first nine months of the year. [2]. Fast DC charger networks are robust and continue to grow rapidly [3]. The costs to make these vehicles will only come down, and used vehicles will filter down to the less well off and replaced by new vehicle sales. Fast charges can already be performed in 10-25 minutes. A decade is a long time for progress.

Tangentially, hydrogen is just an expensive, low density battery. Toyota is learning this the hard way [4] [5].

> Right wing guy takes control of Twitter

I'll bite.

What makes Musk "right wing"?

I get that he has some publicly stated positions that are counter to the prevailing positions of the Democratic Party, but I can't think of any that I would consider "right wing". In fact, I can't think of any that would have been out of place for a Democrat in the late 1990s or early 2000s.
My understanding is that the failure is the included power adapter.

If I spend both of $1600USD on a product, I assume the included adapter will work.
I think what you mean to say is not everyone can handle more than learning one functional set of skills.

Which is sad and lazy thinking.

If you can drive a car and program a machine you can handle two common “roles” in our economy. Clearly only being capable of one role is a joke.

Me thinks this feels more like vanity and laziness; the engineer is not to slum it with the call-center rabble.
Oh, one thing I forgot to mention is that even if intake of "calories" meant something from a physiological standpoint, the calorie counts on food packaging can be wrong by a significant margin. They're allowed to be as wrong as 20%, which can mean hundreds of calories.

The sentiment is agreeable though. You see smart people everywhere, but then turn to their products and these have obvious flaws. Not hidden ones, not triggered in particular situation. Ones you can’t ignore, which greet you and tell they are your new neighbors happy to meet you everyday.

MDN recently screwed up their search input. It stays collapsed until you click on it (some brightest mind decided it’d be so cool?), and also there is no I-cursor until you start typing. So confusing.

CDNJS recently “updated” their site so you see a search prompt, (maybe) click on it, start typing aaand it loses all letters you’ve typed before 3-4 seconds passed since the page load. Who allowed to push that into production? That there is some guy responsible for this may drive nuts.

> Whenever you are alone with them you talk them up

I recommend this strongly (and in a non-manipulative way too). If you have a 1:1 call with someone and open with a few compliments, it can do wonders. It takes a gigantic amount of humility to do this based upon the story so far, but if you can stay focused on the big picture it will usually work out better for everyone. Think: Take extra shit today and maybe you wind up being this person's boss sooner rather than later.

Be nice, especially when it is undeserved. This is the thing people expect the least and will give you an advantage. In a group setting, taking your 50 lashes with a cheery disposition will eventually result in other participants adopting a foul mood regarding the person doing the lashing.
It should be noted that math sort of breaks down when you actually hit c. As I understand it, the math is a bit undefined as you're effectively past the asymptote. Technically, I've always read that light has no reference frame.
