Picking the correct timing for the cure time with the job size is almost an art in itself. It’s unlikely one can figure it out without a lot of experience doing it and most folks that don’t do it for a living won’t do it often enough to acquire that experience. It’s a lot of hot mud waste and back and forth trips to the hardware store that’s exhausting for busy folks that have another full time job.

> there must be consumer demand for this feature

That’s assuming competence. Design that follows consumer demand requires actual research work performed by the design team.

It’s much easier for product designers to simply follow the design decisions of the “market leader. It’s what their higher-ups may even be requesting or requiring.

This pattern explains such user-hostile decisions like the loss of headphone jacks, or curved glass displays that distort edge pixels and don’t accept glass screen protectors. Or car maker’s trend to remove tactile controls with a laggy, convoluted touchscreen UX.

In the very long run, the growth rate of any subcomponent (publicly traded companies) of the economy must be smaller than the growth rate of the entire economy (GDP, which is ~3% in developed economies). It's not a question of if, but when.

> After identifying about 7 commits (with pretty basic/useless messages, and no PR link!), I then had to find the corresponding PRs based on timestamps, and search the PR history for PRs merged around those timestamps.

Not sure if this would save any time, but it is possible to search PRs by commit. For example, say git blame led me to this commit: https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/commit/129141572f249e...

I could have found PR #373 via this search: https://github.com/simonw/sqlite-utils/pulls?q=bb16f52681b6d...

> I thus treat PRs as ephemeral

I think I see what you're saying but as others have pointed out, sometimes you want to add screenshots etc to the context, and you can't capture this kind of info in commit messages. So then you have two choices: issues or PRs.

> Then any review comments are preferably not addressed directly in the PR

I would think that sometimes you really do want to have a back and forth conversation in the PR, rather than just a "make this change" -> "ok done" type of feedback loop.

I view the PR as an decent place for all of this because it's basically a commit of commits, capturing the related changes/conversation/context all in a single place at the point of merge.
Yeah, that's fair. Live and learn; everyone has to discover these things somehow.
If we set the criminally insane aside (a small portion to be sure) the majority remaining need training, motivation, assistance, and separation.

1. Training - many people in prison never learned how to "live productively" if you will - this includes things like job training but also basic life training, etc. Nobody should leave prison with anything less than an high school equivalent education, and training and knowledge on how to cook, clean, etc for themselves.

2. Motivation - the "why bother" needs to be shown and instilled - why bother doing a job when you can just do a crime or drugs instead?

3. Assistance - we shouldn't just dump people out of prison on the street - they don't know where to go or who to contact and it's likely the people they DO know are other criminals, which doesn't help. There should be "outpatient" assistance provided that gets them a job, housing, etc. Call it supervised release as part of the sentence and you could do quite a bit. Provide incentives and security for companies to hire ex-cons, and continue to assist as long as necessary.

4. Separation - it can be vitally important to help ex-cons separate their "con life" from their future life, whatever that may be. Many of the successful ex-cons were in prison for an "accident" (e.g, unintentional murder because they drove drunk, etc) and so their support groups are non-criminals, but the ones who only know other criminals may need to be moved elsewhere for a time.

> One wonders if a computer system like what's in the F35 could have worked in the F14 to mitigate the problem with engine failure

It could be possible that with full-authority fly-by-wire flight controls, a flight computer could prevent departures in case of single engine failure. I doubt anyone with enough F-14 flight dynamics knowledge is going to be on HN (you never know though!) to say if there was enough authority in the controls in these parts of the envelope to recover from such scenarios.

While not the same failure mode, the SR-71 in the '80s acquired a system called "DAFICS": Digital Automatic Flight and Inlet Control System. During supersonic flight, you could get inlet unstart (ejection of the internal normal shock and a resultant sudden decrease in thrust due to poor inlet performance) - which typically occurred asymmetrically and was not uncommon. DAFICS sensed an impending unstart and actually forced both inlets to simultaneously unstart. A less expensive patch than redesigning a finicky inlet already 20+ years old.

https://www.sae.org/publications/technical-papers/content/85...

That aside aside, the real fix the F-14 needed was the GE engines (A+/D model). So you likely ought to blame the losses of these airframes from engine-induced issues on acquisition system decisions, rather than the airframe design itself.
Why is that a problem? Are you your best you every day or do you fail at some things and still persist at trying? It's natural to know what's best and yet not to be able to follow that to a T.

I have a vague childhood memory of looking through a large illustrated book about spaceships in our public library and being in awe. When I came back on another trip, it was gone. I never knew the name or author, but the memory surfaces every few years. It always made me a little sad, because I couldn’t remember enough to find it as an adult - just the vibes I got as a child.

I am now 99% sure it was Spacecraft 2000 - 2100 AD. Thank you so much for posting the name and helping me solve this mystery.
Yes, I used many manual lenses on my Fuji XT-10 and XT-2 - 12mm f/2, 35mm f/1.2, 56mm f/1.4 (all crop of course) among others. The only one I would say was easy was the 12mm (for obvious reasons).

Signal is usually lost going across a tranformer, from one winding to anotner. But usually whole residential areas, consisting of many streets, share a 24kV to low voltage 220V transformer. Meaning you and your neighbour in most cases share a single transformer, to which you are connected to in parallel.

Different phases are never interconnected, have separate windings on a transformer and are on different cables, since there's a voltage between different phases, as they represent three different points on a generator axis and are offset by pi2/3.
You are free to disagree and be in the moral wrong, and on the wrong side of history.

The article says

The final <img> tag also specifies common attributes like width, height and alt text. Those attributes will apply regardless of which source the browser chooses!

The official spec for the picture element is here https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/embedded-content.html... and it says

The picture element is a container which provides multiple sources to its contained img element to allow authors to declaratively control or give hints to the user agent about which image resource to use, based on the screen pixel density, viewport size, image format, and other factors. It represents its children.

So I read that as the alt text (as well as other attributes other than the actual src url) come from the img tag

I was doing game dev in 2010-2013, and we had very partial support for C++11 features, depending on which platform we were on (playstation vs windows). We had fear that C++11 features would never be there, then saw the proposals for 2017 and were like "well that will NEVER happen"... Then the PS4 came out with good 2011 support and I think making progress on 2017. I believe the studio is full on 2017 support now. They're always purposefully 5 years behind so they don't fight insidious compiler bugs.

A lot of these features are great and so they'll come in most compiles, maybe just not as fast as you want them. But the development happening for the PS2, PS3, PS4 and PS5, as well as windows and linux is massively different in the last 20 years. And it always seems like you're never going to get to use those new standards. And then one day they're just in your compiler and you are using them.

If clang doesn't keep up, people will stop using clang. Just like they starting using it and LLVM everywhere somewhere in 08-14 after it came out in 2007. It's both a huge switch (short time frame) and also natural for a product major release (long time frame).
> I’m saying that “ capacity planning” shouldn’t be someone’s entire job.

Capacity planning is everywhere in the real economy. In most sectors, any reasonably sized company will have entire departments and sometimes even divisions (eg, approximately everything in management of a large construction project is capacity planning of some sort or another). One of my first consulting gigs was with a small/small-medium sized resource extraction company, which had several people whose job was essentially 100% capacity planning/forecasting for various components of solid wood product supply chain. Basically anyone who wasn't either in the executive team, in the field, or selling was spending most of their time on capacity planning.

My very first job was with the corporate office at a regional supermarket chain where demand forecasting and figuring out warehousing/storage constraints (aka capacity planning) were their entire job.

In both cases, the profitability of the entire business relied on good capacity planning, full stop. Everything else was either par or total commodity.

Taking the economy as an aggregate, it's actually a fairly rare thing for capacity planning to be totally commodified in the way that hyper-scalars have done in software. Software shops that outsource anything non-soft to the massive army of operations folks at AWS/GCP/Azure are extreme outliers, not the norm, in terms of the real economy a a whole.
These diagrams imply that the incoming water to the heater is heated by drain water from the bath.

But if you're filling a bathtub there's no warm water going down the drain. So the exchanger is useless here. And then when you're done and drain the tub the exchanger gets hot but the heater isn't filling any more.

I’ve never heard someone talk about “emotional distance” as being related to focal length and to be honest it doesn’t have the ring of truth.

Longer focal lengths don’t even create physical distance. What happens is that people sometimes choose to step farther away when using a longer focal length, but you don’t have to do that.

This is a piece that argues in favor of government regulation of internet communications platforms.

I think he’s got a lot of good points about how bad current social media is as controlled by billionaires.

I think he’s completely misguided about how great government control would be.

I think he’s equally misguided about the staying power of something like Facebook. It’s decaying and we don’t need to do anything about it.

He’s also just plain wrong about not being able to maintain connections with people who are left behind.

Younger people don’t bother to sign up, and pretty much everyone I know is steadily moving to signal or telegram for communications. People have multiple apps.

I still have Facebook messenger installed for ‘legacy’ contacts, but I barely use it anymore.

I frankly think he’s out of date in his thinking. He’s spent years on this political action, but technology is just moving faster than that.
CA is much bigger than SF and is estimated to be short 3-4 million homes[0]. The state's population has been in net decline for the last two years, primarily resulting in domestic outmigration[1]. The entire US had around 142 million homes in 2021[2]. Based on jobs/housing starts it looks like much of the US is in the hole, but the west coast as a region is far, far worse[3].

I think it's possible to be "tough on crime" with respect to removing violent offenders from society while also reforming how prisons work on the inside as well as attenuating the problem from the frontend via social services and so on.

I've always been a pretty moderate liberal, but seeing how "soft on crime" policies (reducing the amount of policing and catch/release prosecution) have dramatically harmed communities in Chicago (especially the minority communities that were "plagued by racist police") over the last ~decade has made me into a "hard on crime" person insofar as I think violent offenders should be removed from society first and foremost. We can work on tackling crime from the frontend and we can try and make prisons more humane, but I don't think these concerns can override the need to keep law-abiding people safe.
Interesting framework. Perhaps one of the difficulties is that decision reversibility tends to lie on a spectrum between "reversible" and "irreversible", and sometimes it's hard to even know where on that spectrum it lies. Thus you end up having to figure out if a decision is "reversible", maybe even first needing to develop a decision framework in which to make such a determination. I think all of the truly difficult decisions I've made in work and life have been in this category.

Still, I appreciate this concept and I think it's better to have the mental model than not.
Thank you for your politesse. Human language is a crude tool. There are always tradeoffs with the words we choose. "Anyone can do Anything" is a good mnemonic (the alliteration really helps) which takes away any excuses (not a bad thing, in my case.) Still, it does sacrifice literal truth. There are no four-year-olds in the NFL, for example.

"If you think you can't do something, you can't." Is another way I've heard the same thought expressed. Maybe even more semantically respectable would be "Almost everyone who decides they can't do something, is wrong."

The native american expression is one I like a lot: "If you don't know how to do something, that's because you don't want it enough."

Yes, but in order to do the level of management you are asking, it necessitates they become micro managers. This is a considerably worse state of affairs, as you allude. Managing is about helping you grow as an employee, helping you with your career and helping you do your job. The best managers are the ones that stand in the way of things that block these. How do you suppose they do this without you telling them what you need?

Well and I think you’ve been seeing a lot of it the past couple of years. There’s some natural informal organization if a team is physically collated—which often isn’t the case and can be good or bad in any case. If everyone is remote, a lot of that informal organization doesn’t happen.

It’s also the case that the realty of any established company is budgeting, procurement, etc. There need to be processes. I expect a lot of developers wouldn’t like to spend a day a week on this sort of necessary evil.
