Ask HN: Books would you recommend for someone stepping into non-tech management?
A person close to me is going to to be promoted into management level next year, she's very good at what she does, but has a lot of issues with assertiveness and time management due to constant jumping at everybody's whim and not being able to say no to people(in the nicest way possible).

Are there any good book/resource recommendations that you would like to share?
You may want to read Chapter 7 of If Nuns Ruled the World by Jo Piazza[1]. Sister Dianna Ortiz was kidnapped in Guatemala in the late 1980s and ended up in a CIA torture prison. A case of mistaken identity and lots of cover-ups ensued, but she lived to tell the tale[2]. She sadly passed away last year, RIP.

Pretty much. They don’t want to admit their own spending policies and pressure to expand the money supply is the cause.

And the best part is when they tell employers to not raise wages because it makes inflation worse.

> I have definitely tried, but perhaps I know beforehand that I have a 99.999% chance of failing.

You can greatly increase your chances if you also learn the business aspects of open-source, not just publishing code on GitHub

I learned the hard way, but you don't have to. Basic economics understanding goes a long way, along with business-oriented thinking and asking right questions at the beginning, eg. what extras can we offer that would save a lot of time/ generate more revenue. Once you can answer that, you're set to success

We collected some hot stories about programming errors for you to have a little fun and learn something new. Keep reading to find out how one programmer broke the Internet by deleting a tiny piece of code and see other not-so-obvious errors.
The worst programmers mostly work in very low paying jobs. You wont find that many of them in higher paying jobs since they are so easy to weed out in interviews, only desperate companies hires them.
What about elections? We can trust Google with those, right?
Subreddits thrive mostly based on their name. If a power tripping mod gets on top position of a good name, there is very little you can do. You can try to start an alternative but all new users will go to the other one.
Copyright protection for the rich and powerful, while those who cannot afford armies of lawyers get their stuff stolen by machine learning models. Sounds credible to me.
I do the same for the most part. I have the docker daemon setup both locally in Windows and also in WSL2. I then have multiple contexts setup in Windows so that I can easily switch between Windows/Linux containers from my host terminal. Thus far, I've not experienced any issues.

The initial setup was a little more complex than just running Docker Desktop, but since then, it's running flawlessly.
omg that is terrible

This argument is hardly less flawed than the one you are criticizing. And you statement that 'there is no equal sign ...' is also unconvincing, as we're not equating these two, but the process of learning, which is quite similar.
I have not worked anywhere where the above was actually true, except in the beginning when scaling an organization. In mature organizations managers are hired for having managerial experience, not getting shit done on the line.
I have come to a similar conclusion. The intelligence services seem to be completely oblivious to any of it and are still staring at the horizon for some enemy plane to enter their territorial space when at home their daughters and at college their sons get run over by algorithmically enhanced fine-tuned propaganda: to either weaken their bodies, drug up their minds or cannibalize their culture. That’s taking the second front of the late Cold War to an entirely new level of warfare.

But maybe I am mistaken.
Hey mate, I have a similar background and broke into tech via mech eng. in Melbourne a few years ago. Slightly different path but ended up okay, currently working at Canva which you may have heard of. I got started working for a startup adjacent to the CAD space, and can give you some advice if you’re up to it. My email’s in my profile. Either way good luck!
Same here. I do not have admin rights on the machine so, unless I'm mistaken, I don't have any other option but to reboot.
I don’t think anyone has the guts to mention in these articles that musical.ly looked to a non-user as teenage erotica for teenagers.

Back to the topic: I think Vine already showed us that there was a market for a video-based social media application that was tied to your @-handle. YouTube has over the years become way too proper and high-effort for creatives that want to do it for fun. Instagram was too picture-based. A good video editor and fame (or notoriety) and the unofficial Vine-descendant is born.

I wonder what the people at Vine thought after they saw TikTok do what they did with a few tweaks.
How is it better? as far as i know the other options are more feature rich
It depends on what you mean by "affect" (I'd be curious also where you're getting your empirical data from since there's not a lot of publicly published data from what I can find). While I agree it's not necessarily a showstopper, the negative results in the studies I've seen all point to VAC as being something that is a negative factor that is high on the list of things to solve for.

I still don't understand why some people want to make social work as a source of their income, while it should be the other way round. You may share some of your work which is source of your income with the society, or if that is not possible keep the two separated.

I carefully avoid using proprietary software (like having not touched Mac/Windows for 15 years) and personally believe that all forms of IP should be in public domain by default. Each step by a man, however small or giant, should be a step for the mankind. Why should you continue contributing to open source projects: The amount of carbon footprint saved by opensource projects is tremendous. Think of how much resources are saved if the opensource solutions that we rely on today were closed and proprietary that the same software solutions had to be recreated from scratch at each instance of deployment rather than simply duplicated.
Same here. Going to the maximum of 512 × 320 pixels on my device gives me the feeling that only more capable devices can see the whole picture.

Integrating Continuous Documentation into Your Workflow
When goods are short, we might expect profit margins to rise as the market rewards people who supply goods. If they aren't making extra profit, then there is no incentive to produce more goods.

A fairer interpretation of the situation is there is a lot of money chasing less goods. That results in, simultaneously, high inflation and reduced living standards. High profit margins aren't causing inflation - there have to be people able to pay the prices for raising them it to make sense.

Plus, the writer of the piece appears to work in wealth management. He's going to lose a lot of money if the fed doesn't drop rates back to 0. The author has a very strong incentive to argue as he does.
If the result of the undo is that the remote branch (say main) is back at the point where it was just before, then that is actually a kind of change one could allow? As it does not rewrite history, just reset to previous point in time.

But to really support this well, I think git would need a git commit object which means "reset to previous state".
I agree 110 degrees Celsius is probably too much for a mobile phone, but my laptop has approached 100C before. I'm sure if properly designed it could handle the slightly higher temperatures.

Any thoughts on what the specific energy might be?
Humans are not neural networks, that's just a thesis.

Even novelists do not sit all day long in a closed room reading other people's work and then do a collage of what they've read. Otherwise no books would have been written in the first place.

Cut the AI off humans' work, let it interact with the real world and see what it produces. It will be nothing.

Once (if ever?) an AI is capable of producing an actual original work, I'm fine with other AIs stealing from the first one. Please leave humans alone.

In Zuckerberg's defence, if they somehow create a wearable headset with the proportions of a pair of glasses, they'll absolutely dominate. A sizeable chunk of their spending spree is R&D.

I like using redux: no mocking necessary. Everything is just functions, completely trivial to test. If you use redux-saga you can even test async flows without mocking anything like server responses, browser apis and so on.
To be honest, that seems to me like a totally reasonable way of looking at things.
Like him or not, Mark is a bright guy and he has a good sense of both his own position and potential.
Bit late, and the other comments are right, but it's worth noting that pushes typically aren't that expensive. ARM has a 4-byte STP (store paired) instruction that pushes two values at a time. So usually a push only costs two bytes on ARM, but if you're translating instruction-for-instruction it's four bytes.

(I also forgot while writing the post that 2-byte push instructions are common in 64-bit x86 as well. Half the registers can be pushed with a single byte, and the other half require a REX prefix, giving a two-byte push instruction. So even though the quoted statement is true, the difference isn't that bad in general.)
I know! I recently went for a job where when I got to the system architecture rounds they were asking about sharding and setting up a server/db for global level massive scale. I only know what I've done, which is set up EC2/ECS instances that handle small to medium, not massive amounts of load. I don't know this stuff because I've never done it, yet I was expected to come up with a Michelangelo solution.

Really? I've seen the Wall. I've gone through Checkpoint Charlie in 1969 and visited East Berlin. I saw the barbed wire, the machine guns, the tank traps, all obviously pointed east to keep people from escaping.

I have friends who grew up under Soviet domination.

I have a number of books on live in the USSR.

Your version of the USSR won't fly.

P.S. You mentioned lots of doctors in the USSR. That may or may not be true. In a thread on Chernobyl on Reddit a while back, people who lived there at the time of the disaster mentioned that while root canals were free, there was no anesthetic. Yah, no thanks. You can live in a communist paradise if you like, but include me out. Enjoy the wall keeping you in.
It was a weird time, being in the USA and learning that Europe and Japan had all these great technologies in their mobile phones that we didn’t have. It sucked being so behind the times here. It’s interesting that now every country has the same high tech mobile phones, though there are still niche devices that may only be produced for a specific region.
Seems odd that the macOS update for libxml is 600MB and requires a reboot, not to mention that it requires a reboot on macOS ace Ventura - which was toted as not needing reboots for most security updates.

The inclusion of Vlang is interesting. I remember that it was created together with Volt, a multi-service messenger app that never delivered. Is the language any good, and are there any advantages over more established esoteric systems languages like D, Nim, or Zig?
As a 40ish year old, the future shock from all these AI image generators is extreme.

"Beautiful people" is a horribly discriminative term. It excludes everyone who isn't in line with unrealistic modern Western beauty standards, and makes anyone who's ever been called "ugly" or had a comment made about their appearance feel shut out of the conversation.

"Fellow space travelers" is similarly exclusionary. Did you consider at all that the vast majority of people who have ever been to space have been rich white men? Not to mention the extremely problematic imperialistic undertones of the entire American space program. Anyone who isn't from a privileged background is again ostracized by your words.

> Humans are not neural networks

That's correct, but it misses the point.

This is about reconciling 1. being allowed but 2. not being allowed:

1. The human uses a machine, where the machine is an organic one it grew itself.

2. The human uses a machine, where the machine is one it made or acquired.

To a lot of us, there's no difference.
> but the process of learning, which is quite similar.

Thats the thing, there is no reason to think that they are similar.
As a result, I often find myself closing youtube tab because there is not only nothing to watch, but nothing to scroll through even. On a platform with billions of videos, at least thousands of which I might like to watch if given a chance. I find this incredibly stupid.

Same for google search, really. It turned from “I’ll find you that if it exists” into “Look, if you change your query to ‘cool products if at all barely relevant to …’, I have literally billions of results for that”.
Hmmmm.. presumably this won't apply to underground carparks?
Haha, and you can trust the Indian government? No offense, but India any cop can walk into Zoho's offices and ask for whatever they want. It doesn't have to go through any agency. Given the corruption of that country, you're absolutely dreaming if you think your data is safer.
No.

Next hypothetical.
It's not enough in some cases, in a multi container pod (with `podman play kube`) I still got permission issues binding to privileged ports (which were permitted by the sysctl). There was some github issue about it.

In my experience, if you need to bind to < 1024 ports, just run the container as root. Also if you want finer-grained control of host-side permissions of your mounts (i.e. map host uid 1000 to container uid 99). Otherwise rootless is fine.
It does require a lot of cherry picking and fine tuning to get anything good, and yes, SD is terrible, terrible at hands.

It is still extremely impressive and is improving every day.
The problem that Youtube has is that they already were what TikTok is today. Early ~2005 Youtube was extremely similar to what modern TikTok is, lots of amateurs talking into their webcam and not a whole lot of professional content.

Youtube however spend a lot of effort to drive that early content away and focus on professional content that they could monetize easier. Finding a random video from somebody who isn't a professional full-time Youtuber is getting pretty rare these days.

Youtube Shorts thus has the problem that all the random slice-of-life content that strives on TikTok, is deliberately suppressed on their own platform. Difficult to see how they can fix that, as it just goes against everything they have been doing for the last decade.

The algorithm is important of course, but it needs content to search through and I just don't really think there is enough left on Youtube to compete with what TikTok is doing. All the videos I saw on Youtube Shorts was just professional Youtube's cutting some bits out of their larger videos into a shorter video, it just felt useless, annoying and uninteresting.
R for Data Science (2nd edition, WIP)
I’ve met at least two developers living that life. One worked for a big German corporation. Sometimes he wouldn’t have any work to do for weeks. He got the authorization to work on a hospitality exchange network while in the office. Another one knew how to live on little money. He lived in squatted houses and was an adept dumpster diver. His lifestyle cost him one day of paid work per month. The rest of the time was spent volunteering code, among other activities.

I was deeply inspired by these lifestyles, but it turns out not working for a boss doesn’t fit my personality. I’m too much in need for social validation. Work and suffering are a religion where I live. Programming makes me mostly anxious and I need to be surrounded with colleagues to get comforted. Consumerism is also a religion. I have a hard time being surrounded with people who are able to indulge in consumption while I’m not.
I struggled to understand what the author is talking about, and the wikipedia page about lambda calculus only added confusion, but I feel like I sensed the idea behind it: "by skillfully combining a few basic functions, we can produce any output we like, and by skillfully encoding those skillfully combined functions we can compress any data into a particularly compact program." Is this a good summary?
Your magic box is not a film maker and the inputs you are encoding with it are verbatim file content. Said content belonging to someone else.

User attention deformability.
How succeptable is the user to suggested content, that allows for faster "steering" into addiction lanes.
So, what it basically is, a search over addiction topology to the first hook and then a try over sorted by addictiveness topics for similar classfied user groups.
the bulk of the economic dislocation was caused by well intentioned people making good faith decisions that in hindsight proved very foolish

I agree with that. But that comes about because we've arranged our economic activity into monolithic 'corporations' that are immortal, have the legal status of persons, and are compelled to chase shortsighted profit above all else, show no remorse, and any moral wrongdoing is just a slight financial risk to be approached like any other monetary risk.

All the humans working for the oil industry today are making good faith decisions but together they work for a massive unstoppable inhuman juggernaut that is destroying our climate while fighting every attempt to rein it in with every means possible at its disposal.

And yes I can call corporations greedy. They have demanded to be treated as people in the courts of law so I'll judge them as people
I want to love SELinux, sounds great, I can see the real value in it. Tried to deploy some containers on an SE system and it would block everything. Ok expected, it actually has great tools for discovering, suggesting and creating rules to poke holes where needed, but it only suggests those things post-facto.

So basically you're left deploying a container and waiting for something to break, then inspecting SE logs and patching rules in (and folding all that back into your ansible or whatever).

Maybe this is OK if its your application and you can dump it on a staging environment and push it through your 100% coverage end to end test suite to capture all requirements, but if its a third party - or maybe your test coverage isn't quite where you want it to be - you're basically walking out on the rope bridge blind.

Not sure there is really a way to solve that. Perhaps it there was a `pledge`/`unveil` like system where all requirements can be discovered up front... Otherwise it felt like yours stuck running in SEDisable or SEPermissive for months collecting data (after every deploy).

Maybe I just missed an obvious route to disable swaths of SELinux for rootless containers - where it probably doesn't have as much of an application.

Sorry Dan Walsh :(
