If only there was a way to demethylate our DNA!

Of course, more relevant is to keep from methylating new DNA, and there we can actually make choices that matter.
There's a ton of basically-forgotten system-level functionality that's tossed aside in favor of complex aggregator services and SPA dashboards and new configuration systems and such.

You can get a hell of a lot of mileage out of knowing which parts of your system can be swapped out or configured in interesting ways, but these days you're more likely to treat your OS as a dumb binary-runner and let a dozen SaaS do all the interesting stuff instead.

Kinda like people who treat their DB as a dumb datastore and don't actually leverage any interesting or distinctive features of it. I guess it's nice that your system can be ported to almost any datastore without trouble, but... man you'd have saved yourself a lot of time, bugs, and money if you'd just actually leveraged your DB. Seems operating systems are getting the same treatment. Why learn to configure a forwarding log daemon when you can just ship to logstash? Why use email alerts when you have pagerduty and an uptime monitor and just auto-rebuild any instances that error? Why use full-featured filesystems like ZFS, and really take advantage of its capabilities to easily add features that'd otherwise be very difficult or to attain much greater server reliability/uptime if you're gonna store everything on S3 and your instances are ephemeral? But then one wonders, why run an actual full OS in the first place, then, if you're not going to use it at all? And indeed, I gather some are moving away from that, for precisely that reason (e.g. Firecracker, "serverless")

Me, I find myself digging deeper and deeper into letting the OS, system services, and mature daemons solve problems for me, rather than searching Github first thing for whatever half-baked Nodejs "webscale" solution there is, or DIYing something that treats the OS as nothing but a job-runner and socket-provider. But that seems to be dinosaur thinking these days.

Well we're not. :)

Your point was that nightmares need to continue in order to heal.

My point is that they don't. There is zero benefit to that, only harm. The 10-20 nightmares I'm referring to can be referenced from the past. They're not about benefit from future ones.

And also you don't need the nightmares at all, because there are plenty of other sources of material.

You're already misrepresenting the utility of nightmares in therapy. Please don't misrepresent me as agreeing with you as well.

1) What is that replying to? I was asking why the borrowed FTT would make them more capable of getting loans if it came with a corresponding liability. That would only make sense if lenders didn't care about the liability balance sheet, which is ... non standard.

Edit: That is, you said the "size of the asset balance" is used to obtain loans. That makes it sound like merely increasing assets -- even if they come with liabilities, makes them more capable of getting loans.

Not necessarily — the person you’re responding to said you can always ride it out if you don’t want to take on more responsibilities.

> There’s a big difference between agreeing with someone, and acknowledging their emotional state.

This has been a key takeaway for me too, also in the context of intimate partner communication.

However, I would say that there can for sure be pitfalls with it— it's easy to believe that you are communicating only acknowledgment of emotional state, but have the listener receive it as signing on to their interpretation of the facts, the overall premise, their assessment of the other players' actions and motivations in the story, and so on.

This can lead to major misunderstandings down the road, when the person presents concrete actions that they are expecting will be taken. They may not be anticipating any pushback on this because previous validation-of-emotional-state conversations led them to believe you were both on the same page, when in fact you have significant concerns (whether it was that they misjudged the situation, escalated it unnecessarily, viewed someone else's actions unfairly, failed to accept a compromise or take possible corrective actions, whatever it is).

At that point, it's probably the type of conflict best taken to a professional to sort out, but I think of these situations when I see relationship coaches on TikTok talking up this kind of emotional validation as being a silver bullet for resolving all conflicts and achieving lasting harmony.

I don't think blaming your underlyings is a good strategy even for the mediocre middle manager. That might make work if there is a re-org and your entire org is changed and you inherit a new one.

However, your org is typically the one that you hired, trained, and grew. So, if you are saying that you failed to make the commitments that you promised because your org sucks, then you are just telling everybody that not only did you not fail to meet your commitment you are also not good at building an org.

You can't blame your underlings, if you blame your underlings then people aren't going to think you are doing a good job. If you have any character you will take responsibility and admit that you failed. Then you will work with others to fix the issue, it's not the end of the world.

Now, if you really want to deflect blame, there are many better places to deflect it. You can blame

1. The business/sales/product/external factors ... whatever, they imposed a deadline that was unrealistic. You were brought in too late and you did the best to salvage the situation.

2. A parallel org that you had an external dependency. Bonus points if you compete for budget with this org. If you can successfully deflect blame to those yahoos in the parallel org, then maybe you'll capture some of their budget and get more head count to grow your org. Yes, you want to grow your org. This is another reason why blaming your underlings is a bad idea. Why would you get more budget to grow your org, if you've done a bad job at hiring and training your current org.

In conclusion there are a bunch of bad middle managers out there, and it might be widely thought that blaming the underlings and ICs is a good move. But it's a terrible move for both selfish and selfless reasons. Even bad managers will know that it's a terrible move.

He's losing 10s of billions, that seems like a very real way in which he's being held accountable.
> but as this is all generally in the context of a professional interaction, there are some expectations of those who are being asked questions.

The expectation is that they speak the same language. Whether they understand what I'm asking is on me, and helping them understand what I'm asking is also on me.

"What have you tried?" is such challenging question, because you don't know the technical skill of the person involved. Will they use the same terminology as you? Do they know what upload/download mean? Servers? Anything?

And then there is the case of someone coming to you after trying many things. They won't necessarily have a list of things they've tried.

What I find most useful is going back and confirming assumptions.

"What have you tried" assumes a lot. It assumes a problem, it assumes a direction of the problem, and it also guides you into thinking of the solutions rather than the problem, even if subconsciously.

Always start by verifying assumptions. That, and going to the source. Both of these revolve around going to the source and verifying.

pulls out soapbox

> There's no reason a normal business cycle should "ruin" normal people that did not take excessive risks.

And this is why I get so frustrated when I hear things like "Well business owner(s) take all the risk so that's why they get all the reward (profits, or most of it)". Bullshit. For smaller companies this is more-so true but not even then is it always true. I'm not sure how many downturns or mistakes have to happen followed by layoffs for the general public to grasp this but I don't anticipate people wising up anytime soon. In a number of these layoffs we hear about "Well we misjudged the market" or "The trends didn't continue the way we thought and we over-hired". Instead of tightening their belts (less profit for owners/shareholders) the answer is always to just jettison people until the books "balance".

I own my own (side) business and I have family members who own full-time businesses, I'm well aware of the risk (and debt) we have taken on but for larger companies the top brass (and shareholders) seem nearly completely insulated from any pain. Compare that to places that have profit sharing with employees which can go down if there is a downturn/etc, this is a much better way to handle it. I'm fine sharing in the risk (which I'm doing just by working for someone, they could fire/lay me off tomorrow without warning, that's a risk) if I'm also sharing in the reward. I'm also fine with the "reward" (profit share) decreases in "bad" times versus laying off a bunch of people. Some companies do this much better than others but I really wish companies were either forced to share the rewards and/or actually feel some pain when they make bad decisions. I think we all know the people responsible for over-hiring don't actually face any repercussions for their mistakes, instead it's the people they hired then laid off. And no, paying severance or feeling bad about having to lay off people isn't really "pain" in my book.

Having a "better social safety net" is sort of a way to force "profit sharing" in a roundabout way and I would greatly appreciate it if losing a job didn't mean loss of healthcare and/or a way to put food on the table, pay rent, etc. I know from personal experience that having a good safety net (aka, my parents) makes a huge difference. Not that I play fast and loose with my money (I have an emergency fund that I could run on for 6-9+ months that I've built up) but you always have a little voice in the back of your head saying "You aren't going to end up on the streets". Not everyone has that and I'd love nothing more than for everyone to experience and have that confidence, it's what allows you to take risks (sane ones ideally, like starting your own business) knowing that failure will not ruin you.

GPL and AGPL have the same layout, so you can just take the LGPL, and replace all references to 'GPL' and 'GNU General Public License' with 'AGPL' and 'GNU Affero General Public License'. Of course, you couldn't call that license 'GNU ALGPL' or 'GNU LAGPL'; you'd have to come up with your own name.

You see this sort of thing crop up in chemistry.

For really simple compounds, names are more or less settled and consistent (with some exceptions).

But as soon as your compound starts to get more complex (think organic chemistry) all the sudden, it becomes nigh impossible to consistently name things. There are tons of compounds with the same chemical formula that are regionally named differently. Even worse, there are tons of compounds with the same chemical formula that are actually different things due to how the compound is arranged. (Good ole carbon chains).

This is anecdotal, but I've also seen several projects in my ~20-year career that ended up no where. And reading through these stories (and there are countless stories of these doomed projects) one cannot help but wonder the amount of waste that we create. The original motivation of the whole Lean Startup was to reduce waste - not that Lean Startup model fits all the projects (and it shouldn't). Of course, it's impossible to know how a project will end up, but there must be a way for us as humanity to improve?

I'm also looking at the number of projects that I have built that got nowhere, so I'm also part of the problem. And with these projects, I tend to shrug off and say "well, that was a good experience".

But a "good experience" at $60M price-tag doesn't sound right.

Steven Vaughan-Nichols has been at ZDNet too long. While he used to be readable and even pro-Linux, he has soaked in the ZDNet mindset from being there too long.

Most of the points he makes in this article are RedHat-centric, as if RedHat is so different from any other Linux that other Linux sysadmins can't understand it. Those statements derive directly from the above-mentioned ZDNet mindset.

ZDNet was notorious for calling Linux 'the upstart operating system' and denigrating it long after many (most!) major companies had taken it on rather than continue buying Microsoft's offerings.

That ZDNet mindset became obvious especially when Microsoft's ads were always on ZDNet's front page.
Agree on everything :-)

The only thing I'm not so sure about is the health of the economy. While all macro stats look great so far, they don't yet reflect the wave of layoffs we're seeing in sector after sector.

We may be going through a mild recession overall and a brutal one in bubble-land. Regardless, it will feel horrible to anyone younger than 35, who has never experienced a recession since joining the workforce at most ~15 years ago.

As most comments seem to say, I think that what you say describes a very bad culture. Although said with many more words, your proposed culture is of secrecy and opacity, where decisions and actions are performed in private in a conniving fashion to avoid "backlash".

Any company that doesn't appreciate honesty/transparency/openness is certainly not one I would ever be a part of.

Most importantly, and it's worth mentioning again because other comments pointed this out, the culture you seem to be a proponent of was critically instrumental in major disasters like the Challenger disaster. When we can't talk about those "inconvenient truths", they get buried until they are forgotten and we are forced to learn about them again, sometimes in the most cruelest of ways.
