Mostly agree with the "should". But the guy saying it's "unprecedented" is miles off. There is plenty of precedent at young companies, he's just not aware of them, and they (almost?) all had a smaller balance sheet.
Yes, I think so. Half of my point may be that as, eg., jealous (defensive) has been conflated with envy (offensive); and as social-emotional language appears to have somewhat degraded (where is, today, 'guilt' ?)... likewise, we have conflated forgiveness with reconsiliation.

Where perhaps, in a recent past, to be forgiven was more obviously "to be released from the burden of mattering, one way or another".

A few might, then, genuinely want forgiveness because they feel guilt that you still hate them. But many moreso feel no guilt, what they want is to be reconsiled. To be judged positive and worthwhile.

If this transition has occured, it would line up with the guilt->shame, envy-jealousy, etc. transitions. It would be a co-opting of noble language (genuinely wishing forgiveness) for ignoble selfish reasons (wishing reconsiliation).

I find this thesis prima fascie plausible, in that I feel under-educated in the nobility of guilt, the dangers of envy, and the purpose of forgiveness. An education, i'd say, my great-grandparents certainly had.
Apophasis much?
Sure; companies would expect their employees to check the license. Remember that a lot of them consider GPL (especially AGPL) software "radioactive", so it will still effectively dissuade them.

However, it is likely that many engineers will skip checking their sources. I guess for this to work Copilot should include the attribution automatically in a comment.

The real problem is that doing this is not possible for Copilot, because the tool itself does not know the source.

I recently had an experience where a project manager was basically demanding a yes/no answer in what felt to me like a power move.

PM: Are we good to go live on Wednesday? (it's Monday)

Me: Feature X isn't fully ready yet. Data science needs to address a bug that I found 2 weeks ago. If they fix the bug, I'll prepare a release for Wednesday. Alternatively, we can go live without feature X.

PM: Feature X is required. Data science says they'll have the bug fix ready. So are we good to go live Wednesday?

Me: If data science implements the bug fix, I'll release on Wednesday. (I don't trust data science to be ready, but I'm not going to say that)

PM: Okay, so we're good to go live?

<two or three more cycles>

Context is very relevant. Yes/no questions often aren't yes/no. I didn't even include the full conversation where I tried to clarify what he means "go live" or whether the customer had signed off. In the end, customers hadn't signed off and he hadn't coordinated with other teams. The release has been put off for at least a month.

I think this is somewhat different than a yes/no informational question. In this case, it wasn't even a yes/no question, it was a yes/yes question, he wanted me to take responsibility.
Exactly!

And there's a case in point right in one the answers to my reply:

So Kimchi is considered minimally processed

Minimally processed vs. processed. What does this actually mean to everyone? Who draws the line where?

As with the Sauerkraut example, home made Kimchi is minimally processed I would agree. Commercial Kimchi, like commercial Sauerkraut I would probably count as just "processed", not good for you. But agileAlligator may not see even commercial Kimchi/Sauerkraut as processed and he draws the line at "processed cheese", so that weird vegetable oil with "natural" color in it.

agileAlligator says

Asking what the definition of processed food is, is talking past the point.

and I bet my other two questions above he'd see the same way. But he's not seeing that I'm not asking a direct question. I am not expecting any answers to those questions. I'm not asking for an actual definition. I'm "asking" so that people may ponder these and think back to previous conversations or look at some of the back and forth in these threads and recognize that people are talking past each other.
I agree it's a combination of travel an nuclear families but those things are highly interrelated. For what it's worth most of the small-town vibe I'm familiar with from actual small towns is behind the trend to nuclear families; more likely you have multiple generations of multiple families near by who know/grow up with each other. Not uniformly, but very common. Not that I'm highly familiar or anything.

But another important impact I think is that the idea of a nuclear family is pretty much predicated on independence of your little family unit. This not needing anyone else makes it practical to move across the country on short notice, but also makes it possible to break/ignore ties locally. This is of course also affected by the creation of state level supports.

In other scenarios, part of the reason that people got more involved in local community is because they literally risked disaster if they didn't.
They were off by at least 24,000.
As did everyone else, this thread is more about a couple of contrarians acting smart.

OP never claimed perfection, nor was it ever implied.
Stable Diffusion is developed at LMU Munich and this particular line basically paraphrases § 184 of the German criminal code, which makes it a misdemeanor crime to put porn in places reachable by minors or to show porn to someone without being asked to do so, among other things. I dunno why they felt compelled to include it though.

Regarding your examples, most of these are technically criminal in Germany, because the only legally safe way to have a place not-reachable-by-minors means adhering to German youth protection laws, which you're not going to, just like every porn site, Twitter, Reddit etc.

> by at least 6%, 3%, 1% and 1%

But this is very, very weak evidence.

edit: of course I have to assume something about the structure of the data to say it's very weak evidence. It may be very strong evidence of a very weak effect.

There's also no clarity on what the upside is "stock like spacex and tesla"... rockets are Long on investing and the future. Twitter isn't even close to on that time horizon. If I was asked to stay to build 2.0 I'd want to know what the plan was and how my equity compensation was going to work in real terms. Especially since months prior I would get equity and could sell it in immediate compensation and now I'm back to an early stage startup.

Even more materially, many of those employees are likely spending over their base on their lifestyle and investments. So say they were making $300k all told and they're now down to $150k base, If they were spending even near the base they've just massively changed their income trajectory even to the point of obvious insolvency. Eg "I can't afford this house anymore". I've talked to some people that are smart on investing and I've talked to others who say they're spending 67% post tax on their "lifestyle" of total comp which is insane to me. Stock moves any which way and you are eating into savings which likely also just dropped.

Anyone in that situation would be out like the rats.
If you burn everything to the ground and then basically hire a whole new team to work on a whole new app and platform, then your productivity has nowhere to go but up.
That's not what the Pareto Principle says, when reasonably applied to the engineering department [or employees in general] at Twitter.

It says that 80% of the results come from 20% of the sources. That's not 8/10 people are doing nothing, but rather 8/10 people are doing things that only contribute to 20% of what makes Twitter Twitter.

On any given team of ten, it's likely that the entire team is in either the 80 or the 20 bucket, by virtue of what they're working on, not by virtue of how hard they're working or how talented they are.
You are quite good at math.
> Just eat minimally processed whole foods as often as possible, diversify your plate and moderate your intake.

I think this is really the most important thing anyone can do. Not directed at you at all or at anything you said, but I dislike the term "vegetarian" in general. It suggests a binary diet: either you eat meat, or you don't. Someone who never eats meat and someone who eats meat once a month have essentially the same diet. It makes little sense to distinguish one as vegetarian and one as not. The pervasive idea that you could eat no meat for years and that somehow taking a bit of meat makes you "not vegetarian" anymore is kind of ridiculous. I won't get into it but the concept of "sobriety" often falls into the same trap.

That's not to say there's anything wrong with choosing to not eat any meat products (or not drink any alcohol), it's got nothing to do with the choices people make for themselves, simply how we discuss it.

I think the terms "vegetarian" and "vegan" are only useful as descriptors of food: whether it contains meat or any animal products at all. But categorizing people as "vegetarian" or "vegan" is absurd and counter-productive.
I have seen it get bogged down and get a long queue from time to time.

> Republican party who I hate

I switched to Republican party since 2020 election, I wouldn't vote for election deniers [1] but plenty of people are doing the right thing. Rationality and reason seems to have shifted from liberals to conservatives. We can't even say biological facts. Many others are leaving the woke non-sense, I want my damn liberal party back from the 90's that was pro free speech and had a kernel of reason. Not this CCP-like authoritarianism path that we're heading towards.

That said, party preference shouldn't be the reason to hate someone with passion like this. I admire plenty of progressive leaders and conservatives alike.

Regarding 2/3/4, these are not the reasons to pick up pitchforks and hate someone with guts. He has done so many positive things for the world that completely outweight these quibbles.

[1] That includes democrats:

I run into that a fair amount. It's like they neglect the fact that what they are thinking about isn't automatically in another's mind. They forget to do the setup. I notice it more when people are tired so it might be related to that.
- Jellyfin (like having a personal Netflix, comes with a built-in web interface and has clients on Roku, AndroidTV, and AppleTV, among others—I spent north of a decade fucking around with XBMC/Kodi before settling on this, way more watching stuff, way less fiddling with the system, vastly better than Kodi for my purposes, anyway, far more usable by the non-geeks in my house)

- A Minecraft server for the kids. [EDIT] Buying actual Minecraft is such a huge pain in the ass now that I did try to convert my kids to Minetest with a Minecraft-alike plugin, but they rightly called it out as both very different-feeling and worse. I felt the same way when I tried it but hoped they'd be OK with it, but no, rejected within a minute and it was hard to argue with their verdict when I'd come to the same conclusion myself.

- Pihole. (ad blocking, local-network DNS which is handy sometimes)

- Samba (alternative works-almost-everywhere access to all those files Jellyfin is serving)

- Prowlarr (torrent meta-search, lets you search across dozens of torrent search engines with one query, very handy)

All of these are hosted in Docker on an old Lenovo workstation I bought off Ebay, then added extra ECC ram and a bunch of hard drives to. Linux, but the bulk-storage drives use ZFS.

I'm considering adding:

- Nitter (much-better Twitter interface—though IDK how long this is going to be relevant, the way things are goin)

- Some kind of solution for hosting YouTube stuff. Jellyfin can kinda do it but it's far from ideal. And the 3rd party plugin for it breaks some Jellyfin clients, so that's useless, plus its mode of operation isn't ideal even if it did work, so it only really works OK for YouTube series that happen to have TVDB entries so you can treat them as TV shows. Ideally this would let me use admin-level accounts to browse actual YouTube and save videos from it, then make only saved videos available to non-admins (with the ability to filter some categories or channels out, as you can with "libraries" in Jellyfin, so I can save stuff the kids shouldn't be seeing yet, without their gaining access to it). I dunno what this will end up being, yet, if anything.

- Maybe something for music that's better at hosting music than Jellyfin is. It's OK but could be better.

Huge potential
Verbal communication is a different skill apart from engineering and written communication.

People have to plan how to break subjects down before and during speaking. Not everyone has adequate practice.

Some people have trouble with eye contact and might be fighting subconscious social anxiety while simultaneously scrambling to put their thoughts into words. If an audience wasn't present, it would be easier for them.

Some truly brilliant engineers struggle with this.

Edit: If you don't intuit this or perhaps struggle, I strongly recommend taking an improv class. It should be a fun and safe environment where you'll experience your brain lighting up all the communication pathways at once. If you want to go more subtle and read people's body language and tone, take a Meisner class. These both help tremendously for people that don't get in the daily "exercise" as a part of their normal day to day. I've also heard good things about Toastmasters.
Yep, you should just use the best judgement, for example

for distance, time in driving_metrics:
speed = distance / time

is a lot clearer than

for d, t in driving_metrics:
s = d / t

even if it's used in a tiny scope once. But some things don't have a valuable meaning, or the meaning can trivially be inferred.

>What would help us both would be a very specific question to a very narrow topic. That would allow me to be relatively brief while providing full meaningful context to the question at hand.

Exactly this. If the questioner is experiencing these responses, he should consider the prompts he offers. Is he adequately communicating his expectations and constraints?

We cannot control how a question is answered or the communication skills of the subject. We can control the questions we ask and how we frame them.

In sales this goes a bit deeper. You control the flow of dialogue to the point of engineering a conversation from open to close. I'd recommend trying commission based sales to anyone, just so they can gain some of these techniques.

yeah if there's no roadmap or direction then what are they doing differently than before? heh just spending the extra 40hrs twiddling their thumbs in the office in the middle of the night? like what exactly does Musk plan to do with that extra effort? I've said it before, Twitter is a cancer and no one is immune. It certainly got a hold of Musk, I hope it's not his downfall but it's not out of the realm of possibility.
From this week:

1. Every once in a while, when I move a browser tab into a new window, the window spawns entirely off screen. At least that's what I think. It's completely invisible, but I can focus it and bring up the Alt-Space menu, which shows up in a random screen corner. I can start moving it, but it never moves into view. I just cannot get a hold of it. Only fix is to close the window and try to get back to the open webpage manually. It feels like this happens most often with Youtube tabs where a video is playing.

2. I have FancyZones set up (using PowerToys, i.e. an official MS tool). When a window is snapped to one of these zones, and I minimize it and bring it up again, there is a chance that it has a baffling white border around it that sticks with it while resizing. Only fix is to maximize the window, then snap it back into the zone.

3. Something that I've seen from time to time with different applications (when it's with my browser, it may be related to 1, but it happens with e.g. notepad too): There is a chance that new windows open up in just the most baffling geometries. For example, Notepad opening up at ~6000px width, stretching across most of my two screens' combined width. Or, particularly irritating, browser windows coming up at what must be ~10000px width and height, with the top way above the top edge of either screen, so I can only use Alt-Space -> Maximize to grab a hold of it.

4. Windows spawning on one screen, but using DPI ratio of the other screen, so either cartoonishly small or cartoonishly large. The one that comes to mind the most is the Outlook calendar reminder popup, but I think I've seen other apps suffering from this too.

Twitter is undoubtedly overstaffed. Their website is a trash fire that fails in spectacular ways to deliver the most basic funcionality inherent in the browser: show some text and some pictures. And it's been this way for years while they are patting themselves on the back for "creating the best PWA app in the world".

However, what Musk is doing is absolutely hillarious, and is a much bigger trash fire that has nothing to do with optimizing the head count, or figuring out how to correctly reduce staffing etc.

Good, structured verbal and written communication tends to be breadth-first, not depth-first. This doesn't come easy to a lot of people, especially programmers where solving programming problems often times involves discovering (and addressing) a tree of sub-problems.

I look for this kind of structure when I interview people, and it's amazing how many go breadth-first with their answers, and it turns into a hard-to-follow stream-of-consciousness.

Me: "Please describe system X"

What I want to hear: "System X is composed of major subsystems A, B, and C. I'll talk about them in order. Subsystem A is composed of attributes 1, 2, and 3, which I can describe later if needed. Subsystem B is composed of 4, 5, 6..."

What I often get is: "System X first has subsystem A. Subsystem A has a lot of attributes, like attribute 1, which itself is composed of detail alpha, the research behind detail alpha is this: ... ..., ok, now back to attribute 1, there's also detail beta, which is really cool because ... ..." and we're out of time without even getting to any of the other attributes, or to subsystems B, subsystems C, or even mentioning any of their attributes.

It's easier to go from stream-of-consciousness to depth-first, but you lose your audience. Better to take the time to structure what you're going to say, and present it breadth-first, top-down.

EDIT: Somehow switched depth and breadth :)
Yes! You are the only person in this whole comment thread who gets it. That makes me so sad. It makes me feel like I didn't do a good job communicating in this post.
I mean, given that my full build takes hours but my incremental build takes seconds--and given that my build system itself tends to only mess up the incremental build a few times a year (and mostly in ways I can predict), I'd totally be OK with "correctness once a day" or "correctness on demand" in exchange for having the CI feel like something that I can use constantly. It isn't like I am locally developing or testing with "correctness each and every time", no matter how cool that sounds: I'd get nothing done!
My kids are out of college and working. I'd totally consider going to space-x as a fun-tirement if I had that option, work hard do cool shit, have low downside if I burn out or quit. But twitter, that just isn't as fun as space and explodey bits. Games and Space... that's where I'd take the cool part as compensation.
A melody or a chord sequence sets up an expectation. How you meet that expectation (directly, or shades of 'slightly' to 'completely subverted') is where the art happens. You can imply the tonic note without having to actually go there sometimes.
