On my team at least there's a grey area between managers responsibilities and Tech lead responsibilities.

Managers are ultimately responsible for getting tasks that stretch employees abilities, but also in my experience don't have hands on the code. They're usually dealing with politics around team priorities, goals, keeping people motivated, etc.

Managers rely on tech leads to identify work that needs to get done and would be a good fit for the newbie. Tech leads also have to teach newbies best practices, offer advice on designs, etc.

Managers are often technical (e.g. used to be programming daily), but are not actively writing code anymore.

I feel this is a bad situation for tech leads since they have to sort of manage, and do design work, and write code. Kind of a thankless job
Is this first hand experience? And if this is the case in most org/teams or just AWS?
Neal Stephenson was right about the miasma.
> It's not speech about fiscal conservative policies or smaller government that get's censored.

When cancel culture was running amok, people were getting fired/reprimanded/harassed for advocating nonviolent protests over riots, for using Chinese words that sound vaguely like an English racial slur, for interviewing Black Americans whose opinions differ slightly from the official narrative about what a Black American ought to think, for throwing a geisha-themed party for your young daughter, for wearing a prom dress inspired by a traditional Chinese aesthetic, etc. None of these are remotely right-wing offenses.

This is the whole problem--the left harms people whose actions/opinions are well within the Overton Window and upon criticism, they retreat to some variation of "we're just opposing objectively horrible people!". This whole game hurts left-wing credibility and it easier for far-right viewpoints to enter the mainstream (is so-and-so an actual Nazi or are they just failing to completely toe the left-wing party line?). It's also just shitty behavior that makes people angry and pushes them rightward, and it does nothing to help left-wing causes.
The overlap in donors between GOP and Democrats is insane. Its literally the same few thousand big donors directing policy and the Republican/Democrat thing is just pro-wrestling to entertain the low-information public.
Was going to say, it's funny watching the New Yorker complain about this.
Hey can you point out which unions consistently protect pedos & wifebeaters, and often even elect them to positions of great authority?
The only correct response to the quote is "It sounds like you're not doing your job."
What the business truly requires is an abstract question. What the business expects of him, however, has been answered in this thread. The purpose of a system is what it does, etc.
I always have been curious about how many journalists and news personalities are either useful idiots or are in on the grift. It seems like a healthy mix of both.
I am not a native English speaker so the choice of words may not be the best. Saw another comment mentioning the same. Should have been "defeat" probably?
Except that will be no facts but hallucinations.
I mean at least Trump joined the Republican party when he was running for its presidential nomination.
You can easily create sound in front of and behind you with headphones.
No one can clarify? Did I get downvoted for saying I like Ruby syntax or that I didn't understand the context? I don't understand how pattern matching and Ruby syntax have any correlation. I've never heard of any pattern matching possible in Erlang that was made impossible in Eilxir due to Ruby-like syntax. Am I wrong?
You missed the word "presidential".
I now cringe when I hear "Web 3.0"

I wrote a book a decade ago with Web 3.0 in the title (semantic web, linked data, etc.). "Web 3.0" has been used in so many contexts and meanings, that we need something more description in a name.
> I went to the doctor the other day. The doctor asked if I have any hobbies.

> I said I liked watching movies.

> He said that's not a hobby.

> I said it is if you do it enough times.

I don't know if it was the flat delivery or the surrealness of it, but that had me actually laugh out loud.
Is the first line of the article incorrect?

> The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature reading for January 2022 is in.
I think in the end, it's hard to separate technical leadership from human leadership. After you do your system design, you need to divy it up amongst the juniors to get it implemented. When deciding who gets what piece you have to consider what motivates them, what their strengths and weaknesses are, etc... But for sure your manager is helpful in figuring these things out.

At this level, your manager basically becomes your partner, with the same goal of getting the work done most effectively. Your domain is the technical, their's is the human, but there is ton of overlap in the middle
I don't think any honest defense of CRT said any of the things you claimed here, where have you heard those arguments?

Things that are "Nazi" or "white supremacist" ideas and ideologies get called out, and those ideas and ideology exist on the right in ways they don't on the left, but those ideas aren't bad because they're conservative, they're bad because they're hateful and discriminatory.

Anyone espousing Nazi ideology is a huge problem, regardless of their political leanings.
I don't know, but it must have happened to Jane Wyman too.

Read to the end. Nothing amazing here, but the tasks that chatGPT did in that article, especially at the end indicates understanding. It shows that the responses are more then a probabilistic word jumble.

Keep in mind. Bullshit and understanding are orthogonal concepts. If someone bullshits does that mean they don't understand things? No. It does not.

Honestly, I can't imagine how someone can read that article in it's entirety and can still say chatGPT doesn't understand anything.

Let's be clear. I don't think chatGPT has emotions, I don't think chatGPT does any ponderings outside of answering a response, I don't think chatGPT has any motivations.

What I do believe is chatGPT understands the input given to it. That understanding allows chatGPT to craft a truthful or bullshit response as output.
Gen-Xer here: Napster was never made illegal

Napster lost several lawsuits in the US and filed for bankruptcy

But Napster the brand was sold to Roxio and continued operations

it's still active today

https://www.napster.com/

Anyway, in retrospective, Napster times were fun, university networks were clogged by students downloading music all day long and, at least in my country, many people bought a dial up internet connection just to use it.

But it had serious unexpected consequences, it gave birth to new generations of listeners that do not buy music, because they never had to, and the musicians are now paid virtually nothing for the music they create, while majors still make a lot of money, which isn't exactly what we hoped for when we hated on Metallica for suing Napster.

People were not using it because it was illegal, people were using it because it was cool. It was mostly young people.

Chats are a different beast, if they were ever made illegal, a lot of people would stop using them, because they would disappear from app stores and a prominent smartphone manufacturer we all know would probably delete the app remotely from the users' devices and report to the authorities whoever would dear to sideload it.

I feel sometimes a little bit conflicted about those years when I see my musician friends touring over and over because selling records and make a living of it it's not a thing anymore, and now I buy a lot more music than I did in the past (which was already a decent amount), directly from artists when I can.
Yes, and now his role is developing the technical talents of others so that they too can be senior developers. If you're in a large company that is 90% of what is expected out of senior technical people.
No.

Yes, Dan was a sucker for some crudely-forged documents from a really dodgy source. But journalists skimping on fact-checking when they liked the story was SOP a century or few earlier. For instance - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Brass_Check
> 99% of the time WASM is being used right now it isn't being used to manipulate the DOM

Almost certainly. I would expect that 50% of WASM being used right now is outside of the browser entirely. Cloudflare Workers, for example. Same goes for Javascript.

Regardless, I expect the real serious answer is that writing raw WASM isn't particularly ergonomic. You could do it if you had to, but it is very much designed to be a compiler target. The OP was no doubt alluding to Javascript providing better developer ergonomics much like virtual DOM solutions have done over 'raw' DOM manipulation.

Reading the article he would have realized that Svelte offers much the same without a virtual DOM, and that the headline refers to that, but when was the last time anyone on HN read the article?
Taken at face value, this is bad advice. You've buried the lede which is that you used leverage in the form of threatening to quit and a competing job offer to renegotiate your position at the company.

Talking with your manager can be a fine avenue, and can even be successful if your manager is an advocate to the upper administration for you, but most of the time it will be useless without using some sort of leverage to make management listen.
Management's charter is to extract as much value from employees while minimizing expenditures. The ideal employee is one that does not ask for any more resources to do the job they were hired to do and then can be let go without fuss when not needed.

Employers have much of the power and when they don't actively try to keep their employees happy, through raises or other benefits, this is tantamount to them giving a clear message that they expect you to move on if you're able. There's a reason why most raises in a technology setting come from moving jobs.

For the OP, when management is bringing in someone for you to train, that's usually a signal that a re-org is coming and they want to make you redundant.

Upper management and administration in corporations may be made out of people but privilege blinds people in power to the repercussions of their decisions and actions to their employees that don't have that power. I have a little sympathy for people who haven't recognized the dynamic but I have less sympathy for those that understand the dynamic but don't do anything about it. The relationship is, by it's nature, antagonistic and should be treated as such.
The 2nd will also happily get you killed during a no-knock raid (that, for bonus points, was for the wrong house), or a traffic stop, or a cop hallucinating that he saw you reaching for a nonexistent gun on your waistband.
I'm worried that I'm meaner about K8s in this than I mean to be, which would be a problem not least because I don't have enough K8s experience to justify meanness. I'm really more just surprised at how path-dependent the industry is; even systems that were consciously built not to echo Borg, even greenfield systems like Flynn that were reimaginactiments of orchestration, all seem to follow the same model of central, allocating schedulers based on distributed consensus about worker inventory.
Did you talk to them about this specific change recently? Because how you're describing it is how it used to work, just not starting this year.

Also thanks for Reddit ;)
Haha, same here! I loved greatriver (the x_dream one specifically).

I went back to it a couple of years ago, it was all just servers and people with bhop scripts and AWPs.
I don't live in the affected parts of the city but it sounds like you might - does the new Central line, from Chinatown Rose-Pak to Sunnydale, meaningfully affect transit along that corridor?

> The Post kept track of the lies. The paper calculated that by the end of his term the President had lied 30,573 times.

There it is right in the first paragraph. Does The Post keep the number of Biden's lies?

At least CNN listed them: https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/20/politics/fact-check-biden-fal...
I should keep my mouth shut but... I am genuinely very curious: Can you please explain how this sort of conduct is supposed to help reduce transphobia and the associated suicides/murders? I don't follow at all.
if i type https://gmail.com/ into my browser, it usually doesn't matter if you have successfully gotten comodo or actalis to issue you a fake certificate for gmail.com, because my browser doesn't try to connect to your malicious server; it tries to connect to google's actual gmail server, and so you don't receive my packets, and your fake certificate does you no good

but, as i said, if you can feed me fake dns results so i connect to the wrong ip, or if you can arrange so that packets to gmail's legitimate ip go to your server instead (for example by having me connect to your wifi), then you can leverage the fake certificate into a successful mitm attack

but your explanation of the part of the basics of tls you understand, incomplete though it is, is irrelevant to the attack i was actually discussing, where someone doesn't like what you're saying (or the communication service you're providing) and gets your cert revoked to shut you up
I think for this amount an llc+pass through is still likely less tax.
Surround sound was unnecessary. As long as you had stereo headphones you were fine. I had cheap headphones, expensive headphones and even won headphones at LAN events. Directional audio was never an issue on any headset I'd played with.
I tested them all with this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUDTlvagjJA

The only headphone issue I had in my decades of playing CS were with open ear headphones (Sennheiser HD555) that reduced the punchiness of bass and made footsteps more difficult to hear in CSS which was a terrible game with terrible audio.
I have heard from my tax guy about the 174/162 treatment and "new" cos vs "carrying on trade" cos and his read is that it's defensible to continue using the latter provision especially given one has actual revenue associated directly with that activity as of year 0, rather than some kind of 80s style "we will spend two years building the software and then three selling it in boxes" that is more directly analogous to capitalizable costs. It happens all the time that CPAs are overly focused on particular provisions phasing in and out vs a holistic view of what provisions even apply.

Keep talking to CPAs until you find the one willing to engage in sufficiently aggressive tax treatment to not bankrupt your company. Tax returns are not footnoted; you're not required to explain at time of filing what exact reading of your activity and the tax code leads you to believe you have a vanilla payroll expense vs a capitalized R&D expense.
Technology is the practical application of knowledge about the world. Science is the acquisition of such knowledge. There certainly can be an overlap in the Venn diagram here, but the distinction remains valid and important.

In any case, I was not saying that your perspective is incorrect. I was just saying that my worldview seems rather different from yours.
... and something like that never happened in the rest of the world, only in Soviet Union and China?

If the government is tyrannical, they don't need an AI as an excuse. Lacking AI they can, and did, use the science, experts, god, devil, and a whole plethora of excuses since the dawn of the humans. Why would AI change anything there?
No AWP servers were fairly common and where I mostly played. Even fixed the AWP never quite felt balanced.
Looking for resources to gently introduce 2D game directional movement
I am starting to work on my first isometric projection game and I am stuck on figuring out how to determine the destination of a player character given their current position, direction, and distance to travel inside the cartesian plane they exist on.

I know I need to do something with vectors but after reading a few articles and watching a few videos I still don't quite get it.
By the same reasoning, one shouldn’t build a company based on any API, regardless of whether it’s free or paid; the existence of a paid API does not automatically guarantee any future pricing or even availability. One could build a company around a paid API only to have the pricing jacked up 10x or the API shut down or neutered in some critical way and end up in, functionally, the same situation.
I have very little tolerance left for articles where the punch-line is “people have too many conspiracy theories”. This is the narrow wedge arguing for centralized information control.
We don't need to look to fiction in the US to see examples of encryption controlled by the State with laws, it was literally US government policy in the 90s/early 2000s. Examples include banning export of encryption keys longer than 40 bits etc to make it easier for US secret services to crack the foreign purchaser's systems, the debate during the Clinton administration on what should be permitted encryption-wise was intense at times.

Just say what happened (Ray Lyle, Kansas City Star)

Marginalize pseudo-events, don't make a story where there isn't any, don't re-report same stories (Daniel J. Boorstin, The Image)

"always fight for progress and reform, never tolerate injustice or corruption, always fight demagogues of all parties, never belong to any party, always oppose privileged classes and public plunderers, never lack sympathy with the poor, always remain devoted to the public welfare, never be satisfied with merely printing news, always be drastically independent, never be afraid to attack wrong, whether by predatory plutocracy or predatory poverty" (Joseph Pulitzer, Retirement letter)

Lessons from last century, when people trusted the news
Online dating is going to be a nightmare with chatbots flooding the dating sites catfishing everyone. User contrib sites like Reddit will be flooded with bots that keep the conversation going, but drop in sponsored mentions into things for revenue. I think a push for real, verifiable identities and digitally signing content may happen so people can attempt to wade through what is real and what is fake.
> I roll my eyes every time I see “Democracy Dies in Darkness” on WaPo’s website

Was it The Guardian that used to have a banner on the bottom listing scary things like "erosion of democracy" and asking for you to pay? Generally if something is trying to stir up fear while asking for money, I don't trust it.
Even so, the larpers and bots seem more authoritarian now.
As the Nomad Team Lead, this article is a gift - thank you Fly! - even if they're transitioning off of Nomad. Their description of Nomad is exactly what I would love people to hear, and their reasons for DIYing their own orchestration layer seem totally reasonable to me. Nomad has never wanted people to think we're The One True Way to run all workloads.

I hope Nomad covers cases like scaling-from-zero better in the future, but to do that within the latency requirements of a single HTTP request is quite the feat of design and implementation. There's a lot of batching Nomad does for scale and throughput that conflict with the desire for minimal placement+startup latency, and it's yet to be seen whether "having our cake and eating it too" is physically possible, much less whether we can package it up in a way operators can understand what tradeoffs they're choosing.

I've had the pleasure of chatting with mrkurt in the past, and I definitely intend to follow fly.io closely even if they're no longer a Nomad user! Thanks again for yet another fantastic post, and I wish fly.io all the best.
Didn't Lavabit shutdown because of exactly that [1]?
So pretty sure the US secret courts can very much force companies to do just that and worse (even require them to be silent about it, which clearly is not the case in Germany).

I just discovered https://github.com/shahzainmehboob/word2matrices from about 5 years ago. There doesn't seem to be an associated paper though, and its not immediately clear what norm they used, but it looks like they flatten the matrix and compute the inner product on the resulting vector, by analogy with word2vec vectors embeddings that occur frequently should thus be closer to the 0 matrix. i.e. they seem to be using the Frobenius norm of matrices, which seems very reasonable.
1. It's just a pattern that repeats no matter the industry. The first round is cautious, and they get more brave once they have the data. 2-3 rounds is standard.

2. There is a lot of bloat in tech. FAANG really only needs so many people to "network with creators".
I've started paying attention to how many news articles are essentially collections of Twitter screenshots. Which is still valuable, given how annoying Twitter is to navigate and how some may be deleted.
Exactly. What's interesting as well is how much this initial point in time will perpetuate forward as future language models are built on the output of the current ones, dampening any potential shifting in the overton window. They may try to avoid ingesting their output (ChatGPT says it can detect use of itself), but as more independent models get developed, the detection will never be perfect and in fact may be impossible at some point.
This sounds like notch556. Is there a reason you're using a different name? Did your previous account get banned by @dang?
The new weapon Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB), will allow Ukraine's military to hit targets at twice the distance reachable by the rockets it now fires from the U.S.-supplied High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS).

If included as expected in an upcoming weapons-aid package first reported by Reuters, the 151 km (94 mile) GLSDB will put all of Russia's supply lines in the east of the country within reach, as well as part of Russian-occupied Crimea.
Lisp would also be able to compile code to assembler, run an assembler and load the generated code into the runtime.

I would think (without knowing too much about Erlang's mechanisms) that the mechanisms of Erlang are quite different from what a Lisp runtime typically does. The Lisp runtime is just one process. Erlang is concerned with multiple processes, which are strongly isolated.
This is not intended as a shot, but you just did by saying classifying Assange as 'someone accused of political crime'. I guess my general point is that it obviously can be done, but pre-ordained agenda seems to be clogging basic language faculties of people who live by the printed word.
This is exactly my point: "drug dealers and sex offenders" are on your mind, despite the US being an overwhelmingly safe and criminally uneventful place. Car culture encourages fixation on crime and risk, even when all available evidence points to the US being a radically safer place than it was even 30 years ago[1].

We're still not a safe country on an absolute scale (relative to our economic and social peers), but our cultural histrionics around crime are unsupported by the actual trendline.

Yep. They absolutely could have done that stunt for much much cheaper by using a stand in. Tom Cruise does his own stunts because its marketing for the movie, and he enjoys it
