No, with response to the comment about the “downvote” mention -
(My “You’ve clearly missed the point”)

Mentioning downvotes on HN is incredibly stupid, & if you comb through my past comments, you can see me calling people out for it.

In this very specific & nuanced situation, though - I am using it to mock & make clear my utter contempt & hatred of those who did view Terry as a sad, funny meme, & were laughing all along the way while watching his downward spiral, which culminated in his suicide.

Many of those, still on here & reading this thread, will essentially want to mock my kindness towards Terry & his tormented life. & calling that out is my personal fuck you to them.

No comment regarding anything else in your response.
They are not double checked for the same reason why the FTX CEO got leverage numbers wrong due to poorly labelled accounting ledgers: these folks are making it up as they go, and don't want to pay adults to look over things.
> Burning fuel at power station isn't 2x as efficient as burning it in ICE engine

ICE engines are under 30% efficient (not counting the losses to accelerating/breaking and standing on idle in traffic jams), multi-stage turbines at powerplants are 50-60% efficient (but the 60% ones are rare).

Without any other context, you generally assume that the target is an accumulator.

So "add 4 coins to that bucket", generally means at the end of that operation the bucket contains at least four coins plus any coins that were already in the bucket.
My argument is simply that the further you remove the decision makers from the decision impact the less involved they'll be. Normally this is a problem, but in cases where the issue is that decision makers are too close this becomes a solution.

So far the state of California has been the one to allow duplexes, California has been the one to require new construction in SF, California has been the one to allow density near transit etc, all while the local councils fight tooth and nail. Atherton even shut down their Caltrain station so they didn't have to comply!

I want less control so I want to pull that up to a higher level where all but the most egregious abuses will be completely ignored. The Feds couldn't care less about a shadow over a park. An "already overextended federal government" running this is a feature! :)

- upper body movements like rotating shoulders, which compress/depress lung cavity helping air exchange

Thanks, I will most definitely check it out. I can already see it sings the song of my people:

Productivity software should be opinionated. It's the only way the product can truly do the heavy lifting for you. Flexible software lets everyone invent their own workflows, which eventually creates chaos as teams scale.

and

Teams at different sizes have different needs.

the question now is if my opinion is overlapping, heh. These two quotes are definitely my experience, with one more which is fluidity in projects themselves from design, to 'tasks' to priority.
> most of the savings come from not wasting power while braking

That doesn't check out for me. ICE engines are inefficient because much of the energy from the fuel is converted into heat rather than kinetic energy. Every ICE engine has a radiator whose sole purpose is to vent off waste heat from the engine. ICE engines don't even need a distinct heating element to keep the cabin warm, the waste heat from the engine is more heat than the cabin will ever need.

I don't know that much about how power stations work, but surely it is not this inefficient.

EDIT: Did a bit of reading on gas/coal power plants and it sounds like they are indeed very inefficient: as bad as 20 percent, as good as 60 percent: https://www.energy.gov/fecm/how-gas-turbine-power-plants-wor...

That is mildly horrifying.

Men don't get a say in abortion or pills because they don't have to carry the child inside their bodies.

Once the child is born their legal obligations are similar. Both are subject to child support if they want 'out', unless they agree to put the child up for adoption.

Arguably this means men need to plan ahead more or take additional precautions. I don't think that's unreasonable considering men will never have to pay the physical price of childbearing.

Not the person you’re responding to, but having worked both…

The obvious thing is the perks. When I worked in an 8000 person company, I got to go to any tech conference I wanted, got to attend leadership training courses, had more $200/person meals than I’d ever had before in my life, they’d rent out large venues like the Academy of Sciences for company events and just a lot higher comp.

At the 30-person company, there just wasn’t the budget for that stuff. Which isn’t to say that large corporate job is better…none of that stuff makes up for the soul-sucking parts of those big companies, but that doesn’t mean you don’t miss all that excess when you no longer have it.
Thanks for your suggestion. I'll take it into consideration.
I actually thought about this company recently, because slack, zoom, Google suite, and all the other work apps perform so badly on my linux machine. Even with an i9 I get occasional full utilization.

Re-reading the piece, I have no idea what you mean. Of course they're on line. You can see it in their engagement with social media. The piece isn't about the quantity, how many hours a day. But a half hour a day would be enough. Glancing at feeds on the phone 10x a day for 2-3 minutes is plenty for the neurological effects to occur. Sitting on the toilet for 3 minutes 2x per day gives 6 easy minutes right there.

As an individual, your social isolation and your physical activity are both independently under your control. So it's useful to know their relative impacts on mental health.

Suppose it turned out that, when controlling for physical activity, isolation had no effect on health. Then, in the next pandemic, you should mostly focus on exercise. Or if isolation is more important, then you should focus on that.
1. Start with your network first. Be willing to go as far as 3rd-degree connections.
2. Write down your playbook. What is the end goal you are trying to achieve after you have made contact with the prospect?
3. Track feedback, and get quotes on what prospects are saying about the problem you are solving. This becomes great dialog for future prospects since you'll be "speaking their language" and "hitting the nail on the head" around their pain.
4. If you are successful with landing the prospect as the customer, DO NOT forget to ask them if they have peers who are looking to solve the same problem. Referrals are gold.
> only diesel engines are allowed in motor vehicles

One would assume mechanical diesels at that, since the piezo injectors in common-rail systems require almost as big a bang as a spark plug.

Once I rescued a broken-down Citroën CX that had experienced a complete electrical failure, by removing the little brass slug from the injector pump and screwing the valve body back down, and then push starting the car. Pop the clutch in second and - clattaclattaclattaVROOOM, off it went.

Cue a hilarious 15 seconds or so where the power steering, suspension, and crucially braking system had absolutely no hydraulic pressure and I was piloting an unguided unbraked 5mph "missile" across the yard...
> Free software is (arguably) a requirement for being user-respecting.

Arguably indeed. I'll argue this all day. I'd argue that, for instance, Excel is mostly user-respecting, within its own limits. OneNote is, as well. (If you disable telemetry, which is a counterpoint, but could be argued is not a core part of those products.) Note for instance that you can save an Excel document to .ods format, the main format for OpenOffice and LibreOffice.

On the other hand, free software is (arguably) incompatible with being developer-respecting, as TFA demonstrates. Software needs to be developer-respecting to thrive as well.

> Software should be free. And more.

This is not compatible with the statement "developers should be paid". As a developer who would like to make a living, I obviously strongly disagree with this.

Nor is that statement compatible with any sensible intellectual property or copyright protections whatsoever, unless you really just hate software developers particularly. There's no reason why software developers shouldn't be allowed to profit from their work, but J.K. Rowling should be allowed to profit from Harry Potter, or Lin Manuel Miranda profit from sales of the Encanto soundtrack. If you truly believe no artist or creative person anywhere in the world ever deserves to be compensated for anything they do, well, I just really never want to live in the world you imagine.
I suspect this is not quite what that sounds like (possibly slightly misunderstood), really about the complexity of the task and the amount of data points, and human nature than it is some gross engineering mistake.

The engineers brought in are in the position where they are expected to trash the existing teams code. And then in the context of a slow page load, they might look at it and see up to 1000 of something in RPC and tell Musk and it comes out in a slightly mixed up way when he tries to repeat it.

The reason the number of calls gets high is (I guess) not from 1000 individual different types of requests, but from pulling many pages or records each of several things.

Anyway it is easy to trash other people's code especially if that's what your boss wants you to do to justify bringing you aboard. I have been the victim of it and also on one or two occasions done the same thing myself to some degree.

Another aspect is that no engineer really wants to maintain someone else's code if they don't have to. They are going to have their own viewpoint on architecture etc. and coming onboard is a prime opportunity to start a rewrite. So slamming the existing architecture is just an easy way to try to get that authorized.

I think it's a bit of an integrity test coming in and talking about someone else's code base. But people are unfortunately creatures of circumstance, and these things can bring out the worst in some as far as fairness goes. But again, even for a fair person it might be easy in that position to scoff at a codebase.

Most people are not particularly high integrity though so will happily take a dump when it comes down to it.

As someone whose team just got bitten - again - by Jira descriptions being overwritten by an unwitting user with unsaved changes, I feel you. I just can’t imagine why it isn’t easy to recover a previous description and its formatting. Jira solves the larger collaboration problems, but blows it on the small stuff.

I spent the next hour fuming and imagining how it would work if it was done right (i.e. the way I thought it should work). Necessity is the mother of invention, after all.

I soon sobered up, realizing I had neither time nor patience (or talent, maybe) to build it right.

This was quite a ride. Very stream of conscious feel. Such that I don't want to get too caught in the examples.

> I don’t think I’m invoking some halcyon fantasy.

That said, the above is in fact a fantasy. Isn't necessarily wrong, but your average computer image in the 90s is laughably small compared to today. Such that just opening the app is likely processing more than was even possible in the 90s.

This also means strategies that were fine back then, such as indexing everything on a personal computer so that it could feel snappier, work against the goal.

People want faster applications, but we don't really have a route to letting them do fewer things. And I assert that is a large part of why things were maybe faster back in the day.

Looks like I'm following the same trajectory. Started off my "career" in finance (not even the quantitative kind), then set up a family office, converted it from a long-short shop to a quantitative one with the help of a very technically confident partner, and just "retired" last Friday.

Career in quotes because I cofounded a startup in university which we sold off. Retired in quotes because I'm such a bad coder that the code base has evolved to a level that requires much more competency than I can contribute. I have always thought of becoming a Data Engineer, since it seems super interesting (and relatively slow paced). Also, it was so hard for us to recruit a competent one (we finally did though), but it seems all the DE job listings want people with 5+ years of experience - there just isn't room for companies to take on a junior data engineer apparently :(.

Currently, I spend my time just building stuff to help real problems, something I've done in my spare time the past few years. For example, I just built a very small applet for my city's transport authority, and if the integration goes well, it might be used by around 300k travelers. It's wild, because three years back, I never would have thought that I would be able to have such outsized impact just by learning some front-end code.

> people are reading some requirement for them to accommodate something into this post.

There is no other interpretation. "not enough" implies there should be MORE, which is a requirement. The requirement is never elucidated. This is a Mazouz gripe post for OSS issues that are not unknown, and provides no insight.

> open source doesn’t enable people to do much with the code if they aren’t part of the project itself

All code requires effort to utilize. Proposing that OSS should have some additional (hand-wave whatever you imagine) requirement lowers the effort to utilize it in some way and that result differs for each program. Imaging OSS code that simply does not compile. What more can you ask? Homogenization of code is a Sisyphean endeavor. The best we have to a uniform interface is source-code text.
