I think you're forgetting that he could just re-print the file once he had located which printer it was on to verify. Once verified it's the file in question, you could easily check which device sent it to the printer.
I think all disciplines could have a damning list like this. For example, in software development, we could say "pull request" is to be avoided in favor of "merge request" (some progress has definitely been made toward this state, but there is more to do).

"Only exceptional performance will constitute a passing grade"

That might be the dumbest thing EM has written. Recently, that is.
I learned three things watching EN snatch defeat from the jaws of victory:

1) There is almost never a case for a total ground up rewrite of your core product. Just don’t do it.

2) Don’t abandon the users who made you successful in the first place. They’re the ones who advocate for you and get your foot in the door.

3) real time google docs style collaborative editing is table stakes for this software category. Build your V1 with it in mind. Otherwise you’ll have to do a rewrite later. See 1.
Exactly this. I realized that a lot of how I use objects fits in nicely with FP patterns, but when I started looking into FP "best practices" the number of times the best practice is "Replicate this exact behavior from a 'more functional' language, even though your language has idioms for that" is astounding. I decided I'll just keep programming without side effects, if that's what FP is.
Wouldn't a more helpful product direction for this be to use AI to make notion pages shorter? this seems like bloat for bloat's sake.

Ruthless environments where low performers are stack ranked out of the company creates a psychologically unsafe working environment that encourages toxic competition and makes it hard to retain your best people. I got out a long time ago, but Amazon struggled to retain their best employees because they'd go somewhere else. Amazon had such absurd turn over that they are running out of people to interview. It's a wood chipper, designed to burn out young, insecure engineers while extracting two years of boilerplate from them.

“Magic windows” is something that bites me fairly often under Windows/Linux. “Well I’m done with this page, might as well close the browser wi— oh wait that’s right it’s downloading something.”

I wish there were Linux distributions that took an app-centric approach similar to that of macOS. It just gels with my brain better.
No, political correct is most often the opposite. It tries to obfuscate. Certainly not gain precision.
Two other styles that would make for great conversions are the compact and highly reliable Toyota pickup trucks introduced in the 1980s, and the late 1980s rally-style cars, i.e. the BMW E30 M3 etc. A decent minivan would also be nice, although the new VW id Buzz looks interesting (older minivans had pretty bad crash outcomes I think).
You really need to look at real prices, rather than nominal prices. Housing is after all the largest component of CPI, which determines inflation.

Scarcity also does not guarantee value. For one thing, housing demand is baseline proportional to the number of people. Population growth is really slowing [1]. The decades of home price gains might mostly have been due to a population surge, which is ending.

OK so putting the sarcasm aside can anyone with a bit of know how on monetary policy actually explain why all the media keeps pointing at Covid and fertilizers and Ukranian war rather than the QE since 2008?

Is this central banks diverting attention or is the parent comment overly simplifying this?
Success is relative. Voice didn't turn out to be "the next big computing platform". It's still mostly a command interface. Perhaps it still could become something bigger. Alexa isn't widely used on the iPhone/iOS/CarPlay or Android/Android Auto, the two most important places for voice. Alexa works well but doesn't have a clear technology advantage vs Google Assistant (admittedly, Siri is trash).

Contrast that to VR, which is in a much earlier stage of its technology and adoption cycle: Meta has a strong technology advantage, currently has the best overall platform and _if_ VR becomes the next big computing platform, Meta is in a strong position to capture a significant proportion of market share. It's a big if! but at least there's still a chance.

Absolutely none of the recent interesting machine-learning successes are even going in the right direction to ever become AGI.

There is as much similarity between GPT-3 and an AGI as there is between a human and one of those novelty fortune-telling machines with racist caricatures and names like Zardoz.
Recently their development pace really picked up. Unfortunately that was due to them replatforming as an electron app. Development speed improved, but the app itself felt sluggish and I had really started to hate it.
Alexa does seem like it has fantastic potential. To throw so many resources at it with so little result seems like an incredibly massive failure of management.
Higher interest rates will discourage the investor class from snatching up homes they don't intend to live in though. Not all of them of course, but the demand for living in homes is far less elastic than that of those using them to make money
Do you know if Notes performs the OCR on files that [are imported over from Evernote?](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205793) I have many hundreds (maybe low-thousands) of PDFs and images that I need to be able to access once in a blue moon, but when I need them Evernote's OCR makes it easy.

I guess I could just try it out with a subsection of notes.
Because burn-out is the main driving factor behind the productivity changes, not the hypotheticals you are talking about. In engineering, people are burned out by friday, and even outside of engineering, people tend to phone it in by that point in the week because they are just done. They are operating at less than 50% mental or physical capacity. If you instead just give them that time to recharge, they'll get that much more done early in the week the following week. They'll also be in a better headspace because although you are only decreasing the days they work by 1/5th, you are increasing their uninterrupted weekend/family time by 1/3rd. In a more egalitarian society, you might imagine that ratio to be more like 1:1 to be fair.

At my previous startup we saw an 8% productivity _increase_ from moving to a 4-day work week, and this was across a variety of metrics like issues closed, lines of code, etc. We don't even know if 4 is optimal, it could be 3. Only way to find out is to try it.
The main problem is discovery.

When I hold some object I can easily discover the things I can do with that object—just by typing "." after the object reference.

In something like Haskell I need to know upfront what I may do with some "object". The IDE can't help me discover the methods I need. All it can do is to show me all available functions in scope. Most of this functions aren't what I'm looking for. But the IDE can't know that as it's missing the "context" in which I want to call my functions / methods.

And regarding records in Haskell: First of all you will get beaten when you use them (that's part of the religious movement and has nothing to do with comprehensible reasons). The other part is: Records are no substitute for objects. Not even close. Those are just quite primitive structs. (To learn how unpractical is it to try to build objects from structs without proper language support just ask someone who was forced to use C after coming from a more complete OO language).
But how many of those homes are habitable?

I grew up an area with a lot of "vacant" housing. They are vacant largely because nobody would want to live there. After a year or two, they are uninhabitable and the cost to remove the place exceeds the value of the land. Lots of them ended up mysteriously burning down.

> Nevertheless, the attitude-change techniques used by so-called “brainwashers” are no different than standard persuasive methods identified by social psychologists, such as encouraging commitment to goals, manufacturing source credibility, forging an illusion of group consensus, and vivid testimonials

The brainwashing techniques used by various cults, criminal gangs and regimes go far beyond these gentle methods. Particularly, I sure hope social psychologists don't use torture. (Social isolation, food deprivation, and much worse.)
This is objectively false. Did you mean to say under Stalinist systems?

I’ve observed the phenomenon and I think it boils down to being poorly communicated on both sides.

An essential part of reasoning in mathematics comes from the experience of being repeatedly stuck.

Walking through an exciting “maze” for 20 minutes or a few hours most sufficiently motivated people can manage but it get’s harder and harder to endure when days or even weeks pass by and you feel like you have done an exhaustive inventory of every single item of your reasoning, uncountable times, feeling utterly lost. For my part I cannot even imagine being stuck on a single problem for years on end.

So, when there seems to be a reluctance to give away the answer, it is because a big part of mathematics is building up an arsenal of strategies to tackle different problems, and this is best taught through a variety of of build-up problems themselves which really challenge you at your current skill set. This of course widely differs.

It’s easier to get a good estimate if you know something about the person’s background but I can see this inquisitiveness coming off as judgemental and elitist. I’ve mostly found when you clearly can state ‘where’ exactly you feel stuck and which approaches you have tried you are heartwarmingly helped.
To try to exactly pinpoint “where” your difficulty lies and patiently hitting the wall (building up a tolerance against immediate satisfaction/frustration) is how you will unlock the problems rather sooner than later.

That being said if someone asks me specifically for a solution which I happen to know, I provide it. Mostly because I don’t think you can force the aforementioned insights and I don’t want to put people into the general atmosphere - which I myself despise - of “explaining oneself”.
Historical precedent, and the fact that most of world trade is now dollarized, means that it’s incredibly unlikely that the US will ever deprecate cash.

Unlike other currencies, all US currency ever issued remains legal tender [1]. Honestly, if you want untraceable transactions - using US cash is going to be way better than any digital currency.

If I were a C-level executive planning to extend business to a new area, and none of my reports are quite up to the job, I'd probably be looking to hire a senior manager to fill that spot.

But if I can't find the right person in a couple months time, I have a choice -- do I put some unqualified person there to do the job, or do I wait? I think there are strong arguments to wait, especially if the project is not time sensitive or a huge priority.

Or maybe to replace a person who has left. There's a gap and perhaps a not-quite-qualified (or a qualified-but-too-busy) person is temporarily taking care of things while the company tries to hire. There's a choice here too -- do you hire the least-bad person after say 3 months, or do you wait? Given the impact of bad hires at this level, I think I'd definitely wait.
It’s more common to hear these terms of misunderstanding in main stream medicine. Psychologists know there isn’t a “chemical imbalance” which “causes depression.” Overworked GPs and others without better training are the ideal audience for this piece.
Man, that sounds pretty sweet

That doing even a simple a action often requires understanding multiple esoteric concepts, and knowing even more-esoteric commands/options.
Yeah I see this argument a lot in the infosec industry where military terms are used quite a bit, but its never passed the sniff test. Usually the argument is that the toxicity, shitty work-life balance, and lack of minorities all comes from ex-military people or whatever, meanwhile:

- RTFM, flaming, and calling people noobs comes from IRC culture

- The OSCP (_the_ standard red team certification) is 48 hours long, the company offering it currently woman-led

- The most common background in my experience for minorities in this industry is ex-military

Internally it was sold as: working together with other teams is too inefficient due to dependencies and differing priorities. It's faster to build it again independently than integrate with the existing service.

Are you moving the goal posts? Now the complaint isn’t that stories are posted but that people don’t upvote them.

I’ve already explained that one story is much more important than the other. One can cause an escalation in the war, the other will be viewed as a mistake.
I won’t disagree that JavaScript isn’t multi-paradigm and you can write in a functional style, but you have to look at where the ergonomics are:

• dot, `.`, syntax on objects vs. composition/pipe operators

• no autocurry

• no ADTs or basic pattern matching

• has null + undefined but no Maybe/Option (there is null coalescing and null chaining, but it’s easy to accidentally skip)

• const can still mutate the on the object, freeze incurs a massive performance cost

• no tail-call optimization outside Safari despite being in the ECMA2015 spec

• `class` keyword existed and private methods and values now, FP is pretty anti-encapsulation

• no immutable data structures in the stdlib

• no way to prevent side effects (/* __PURE__ */ in code generation is a hack)

Can you get benefits from avoiding state/mutation and choosing composition over inheritance? Sure, but it’s nothing like being in a language where these aren’t something you can do or the default, but the only way to write code and having the tool to express it.
Who says they want to spend US $? If bitcoin (or any other) decentralized currency succeeds and gets world-wide adoption you'll not have to convert it into anything else. You'll spend it as money. That's the ultimate goal of bitcoin. With massive adoption price movements will stabilize so price move of 1.5% will look like a huge deal then.
One issue there I think is that Notion has had a number of investment rounds, according to crunchbase [0] they've gained $343.2M that way; that plus paying customers means they have a lot of money to burn. And investors don't like it when a company just sits on that money, they want results, they want to see growth, they want cool demos of cool new features or products.

I mean you can rebuild the essence of what Notion is with less than $1M. They don't need that money to build more features; I'm convinced that writing the code is the cheapest part of product development these days, despite developers earning five figure sums + bonuses + stock options + $15 / serving premade fruit smoothies from a squeezed bag.

I have come up with 3 ideas in the past that worked out well for me.

I wrote a popular MP3 search engine pre-Napster, a site dedicated to price tracking in the game EverQuest, and even a technical analysis website for predicting price movement in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).

Each one of these worked out well enough to live off at the time.

The first two of those projects worked just because the underlying "thing" was huge at the time (MP3s, EverQuest).

That last one required actual marketing, buying ads in magazines related to the field ("Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities", etc). But I knew the audience for the ETF idea likely had a lot more disposable income, so the monthly charge was high.

Unfortunately, as I've gotten older and have a "real" job, I no longer have that desire to write more code after work, so these sorts of ideas and projects have stalled out.

The point being if you can find a niche that's popular, or even something you are just very interested in (in my case, at the time, technical analysis), you can likely make money off of it as a software engineer.

What school does is provide an environment of ~8hrs/day to pressure test their social skills and build coping mechanisms (good and bad). You do get that to a lesser degree from other environments such as sports and in the end it's all transferable learning. Playing on a team vs training an individual sport with a club gives very different social lessons and shapes them accordingly.

But I don't think school is what makes them mature as much as it's the adults that they look up to and emulate that shape that. And whether it traumatic can depend on how they're able to internalize it.
Yeah, maybe to young people that means "doing the impossible" but to me it means "tricking people into thinking you're doing something impossible" or "scam" for short.
A trusted and free press huh. In what works of fiction can I read about those?
Congrats on launching the feature, which I will never use.
If someone from Notion is reading this, I humbly suggest a few other features that might actually make an impact.

- Offline mode. My data is mine, my tables, templates, notes, have no reason to live in your server.

- Improve performance. Notion is getting slower with every release.

- Full Text Workspace Search.

This are features customers actually want. Show some customer obsession and cut the crap with that GPT-3 non-sense. You are helping spammers to automate their workflow, on creating irrelevant posts that match search keys.We already have copy.ai and a ton of other services that do just that.

Posturing? The repo states its intent right at the top. Just using git does not mean you are forced to provide source code lol.
This is one of those situations where it's a clear documented (via study and real world experiment) benefit to both workers and employers, so you wonder why it's taking so long to spread.

One problem is I genuinely believe it has to be mandated. Every company has people who will take any action purely to make themselves look attractive for the next promotion cycle. And if even just one person is actually putting in 50/wk at a company that's supposed to be 32/wk, everyone else is going to feel pressured to work 50.
Psychological safety is utterly subjective. There cannot be a general ruleset. Although of course most doctors will not call you a fat ass. Maybe if he knows you more closely...
I have had a very nasty bug that I debugged in Safari. Chrome & Firefox supports redirects to http when the site is on localhost or 127.x.x.x but Safari doesn't and throws a Mixed content warning error.

Another one was similar when redirect chain got broken because of an intermediate redirect (https -> https -> http -> https)

I guess Chrome & Firefox automatically upgrades the protocol now but Safari doesn't and it broke the chain and it was also not showing the broken redirected chain in the Safari developer tool.
