For all of the folks worried about the future of CSS Tricks, this is why licensing matters!

I spent most of the past decade producing (as a writer, editor, and community manager) tutorial and other technical content for a large software company. Because the company I worked for values open source principles, every single article I ever wrote for them was licensed under CC BY-SA or a similar license. If the sites I worked on disappeared tomorrow, I would be free to republish them on a new home on the web, and more importantly, to continue to keep them up to date. I don't work there any more, and it's such a relief not to have to worry about a lawsuit from a former employer just to be able to reuse my own work.
Absolutely, though my examples are older as I found the language used far more eloquent compared to recent documents.

On leadership, the following manuals are very organised and written well even the prefaces by themselves are succinct and take into account organisational conditions that could similarly occur for an engineering-focused org.

The U.S. Army Leadership Field Manual FM22-10 (1951):
https://www.bits.de/NRANEU/others/amd-us-archive/FM22-10%285...

The U.S. Army Leadership Field Manual FM22-100 (1999):
https://www.armyheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/FM-2...

On technical writing aimed at and for an engineering team, since our subject is engineering strategy. Similar to the manuals above, these are succinct and cover a lot of ground.

U.S Department of Army Engineer Troop Organizations and Operations (1965):
https://ia802804.us.archive.org/13/items/FM5-11969/FM5-11969...

On technical writing, this is a medical manual thats detailed and limited in scope for good reason. Look through and you can that it primarily serves as reference with the assumption of limited yet enough competence to do any medical work.

U.S Army Special Forces Medical Handbook ST 31-91B (1982):
https://ia800606.us.archive.org/18/items/milmanual-st-31-91b...

On documenting use case scenarios and instructions related to that specific scenario.

U.S War Department Technical Manual 6-Ton, 6x6 Truck TM9-813 (1944):

It's Microsoft and Google: who is going to change what they decide to do? No one. They're like all other corporations that will do whatever possible to increase their profit margin, no matter the consequences.

We already have ChatBots that can do refunds etc. at Amazon, so it's a given that these AI systems are going to be plugged directly into customer service and order databases.

If you’re going to shill, please post articles that aren’t from 1978. I mean that’s pretty much standard shill etiquette.
I moved to the Netherlands when I found out that I am going blind. I really enjoy it here - it's very accessible which is my number one need; but with that accessibility comes a more peaceful and active lifestyle. I'm starting a family here and I've been very impressed all around about the process. It makes being a good parent much easier: parental leave, cheap birth, government takes care of things like vaccinations/baby checkups, parks are everywhere, and many dads take "papadag" on Wednesday off from work to spend time with their kids. I'm really happy to be here and I appreciate all of the benefits that come with it. I had to start a business to get a visa but despite all of that hard work it's still very worth it to me.
Note that ANSI is not BBS-specific and was not _created_ for BBSs... it was already around and BBSs made heavy use of it.

EDIT: what I find is missing on the post is Teletext art (see e.g., http://teletextart.co.uk/)
web.dev is a resource for learning how to write code for Chrome.

There are entire articles about Chrome-only "standards" with barely a footnote about how controversial the standards are and that e.g. Mozilla considers them harmful on their standards positions site: https://web.dev/signed-exchanges/ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ha00dSGKmjoEh2mRiG8FIA5s...

web.dev itself should be considered harmful. It is not impartial, and does not equip web developers with a good understanding of what is currently supported in a range of modern rendering/JS engines in 2023. A rendering engine monoculture is a bad thing for everyone and that's what resources like this one are encouraging.

It does not at all prevent me from having bias, but it at least, with effort, on a case by case basis, lets me adopt someone else's bias.

I wonder what the take away from this is? The simple one is "bad cloudflare" or "bad stripe" or even "bad hibp". Or maybe all in conjunction. Or maybe none.

But that seems simplistic to me. The smell of this is a system that is so poorly made that it has layer upon layer of obscure hacks to protect it. It appears that no one can understand why this happened and the best guess is that it had something legitimate that was misunderstood. Maybe the word "alter" and "table"? This is the equivalent of you walking into a bank, telling the person "Hi my name is Rob and I came to the bank today to ..." And then the bank goes into automatic shut down.

This is broken. IMHO.
yeah, but sadly there aren’t many CDNs that offer WAF, even the most basic one. I literally begged bunnyCDN to build one so we can switch from CF. It’s on their roadmap for like forever.
Ease of development. Ease of maintenance. Separation of concerns. Just to name a few. For example, one service is for hardware communication. It's job is to communicate with all the various devices, and forward those messages out.

>You can do the same with threads and queues.

Yes, but as OP up the chain mentions, you can simplify by letting the OS handle some of that.
> academics don't design for the real world

This is yet another ad hominem which I frankly find very distasteful. Plenty of real world software that you see around has been designed by academics and are hugely successful in the real world.

Academics come in all varieties just like your engineers. There are good engineers and there are engineers with years of experience who design terrible software. There are academics who do not design for real world and there are academics who do.

Just throwing around the term "academic" in a loose manner offers no insight on the quality of the work. If there is any valid criticism it should be made on the work, not about the person behind it. That you come to defend ad hominem in more elaborate words goes to reaffirm my original point about why these comments make these threads a terrible reading experience! They often seem to show a shallow understanding of both the academia and the professional IT industry.
I would say isn’t it useful to simply acknowledge you can be deeply flawed all the time and your experiences of reality will always be slanted with your subjective opinions on how society works, that everyone else is also doing the same thing, and continue onwards anyways? There’s no way to escape our own imperfections. We have some tools to help us mitigate them, but they will always be there.
Are you using canny mode? One of the other modes (HED, segmentation, or depth) may give you more consistency. Lmk how it goes if you try this.

Pretty easy to do that, use a fixed point implementation of GPT(N) of whatever size you like and range code your data into the model probabilities. This also will achieve a close to rate optimal embedding-- allowing you to embed about as much data as the language model thinks the text has...

If you encrypt the data and include a checksum or other identifying bytes in the ciphertext you can even have unwitting human participants in the discussions and if their posts are context your embedded data will be credible replies. You just have to be sure that threading behavior doesn't make it impossible to give the decoder identical context.
> Lawyers are lead by Senior lawyers

You could argue that Lawyers are lead by their clients in the same way that Engineers are led by their end users / PMs.

The difference is that in the Doctor & Lawyer examples your end-user is very obvious because it is the person in-front of you. With Engineering you are not usually in constant contact with your end users, hence the PM role.
I appreciate the article's efforts to raise awareness, that said, as a developer with ADHD I wish 'hyperfocus' wasn't always trotted out as a kind of ADHD superpower. The inability to control your attention in order to achieve complex tasks and effect desired outcomes is ADHD. So called 'hyperfocus' is just as likely to waste your time on something unrelated and unhelpful to what you want to do. It's like telling a sleepwalker "Hey, cheer up, sometimes you end up in the office and you can skip your commute!"
Sorry if the question seems very basic, but what are you looking for in your next job, precisely?

To reply to your comments:

> Has anyone used LinkedIn _regularly_

1. We hire regularly via LinkedIn and see that many job applicants use this regularly as well to find jobs. LinkedIn is a hugely successful hiring platform.

> It’s hard to decipher what a given organization is looking to accomplish sometimes.

2. Not all companies want to reveal their intentions publicly, for many different reasons. These are good questions for the first interview.

> read like a Cheesecake Factory menu of duties and experience requirements

3. For sure, LinkedIn and all the other sites have their quirks. Which other sites have you tried so far? Which site seems right for you?

> seeing that a role had “200+ applicants” is a bit demoralizing.

4. Yes there are a lot of applicants out there. Consider it from the perspective of the people hiring: When I'm hiring people, usually only 1-2% of the applicants stand out from the crowd with their LinkedIn profile and resume / CV.

How can your make your profile and CV stand out, so you're invited for the interview?

When you have a great profile and CV, you can be confident that you're putting your best foot forward, and if they don't invite you for an interview, it's probably not a good match anyway.
You'd have issues with stability though. Looking at some images of astronauts inside the ISS I can see that almost all of the pictures where they're performing a task inside the station, they tuck their feet under holding bars to keep from drifting away from what they're doing.

I imagine that would be quite complicated if you didn't have any legs, and it would probably be hard to keep from swaying side-to-side of you only have one leg.

I'm sure there are other complications too, microgravity is a much more hostile environment than you might think!

Ask HN: OVH – SSH and control panel down
Hi All
Would those of you with OVH accounts mind checking you can SSH in, and if you can get into the control panel.

I can see a service on my server, but not ssh, which is on a custom port. The control panel is claiming my login credentials are wrong (they aren't) and I can't request a new password. The server pings.

The Edges Cases Where Computing and Physics Intersect
Reminds me of Gmail Drive from years ago, where you could use your Gmail space as a virtual file system.
There's a chicken and the egg problem here.

The reason our country/world has so many resources, is because people with a commercial interest worked had to develop/build it. Like, our medicine is amazing because there historically has been so much money in it, which attracted talent and research dollars.

So it's easy to look at that and say "oh wow we have so much, how can we not be giving it away for free" but that misses the point that with that mindset, we wouldn't have built what we have to begin with.

People often fail to understand that it's a balance.
Slightly off topic: Any recommendations for good detective novels?
I have a relative that is an university professor of some social sciences in the Netherlands (not sure what is the exact title); she is very left-leaning, she attended college and doctoral degree in the US and she was a professor in US for more than 10 years and in the Netherlands for almost 15 years: even she is not that optimistic about the country. I had very long discussions in the past 10 years (we spend family vacations together) and she believes the Netherlands is better in many aspects than US, but there are areas where it is a lot worse. The most obvious ones: healthcare, quality of services and social relations (including large scale xenofobia, not so well hidden).
Maybe this is a good place to ask. At 49:51 (https://youtu.be/FLpGH0BpOnk?t=2991) there is a reference to a leaked British government email that discredits Bellingcat, saying they aren't ~"effective anymore because everyone knows they are with us and besides everyone knows they will say anything for money". Does anyone have a link to the actual email, or better sourced reporting about it? I tried searching likely keywords, and didn't find anything to confirm this claim.

Anyone have tips for how they manage their ADHD, specifically when you aren't able to get yourself motivated at all with the task at hand or feel like you have too may balls to juggle?

This might work... however I can't see myself doing these things, for reasons that I have no time nor intention.

Human Composting Is Changing the Landscape of Death Care
Don't we? Or is our culture orders of magnitude bigger and thus the Platos and Mozarts and Hugos go less recognized due to competition from the Kants and Beethovens and Wolfes who are doing their thing at the same time? Did Plato have anything more profound to say than Daniel Kahneman or Sam Harris? Is Tosin Abasi less of a virtuoso than Mozart? How many brilliant writers toil away unrecognized because they can't break through Amazon's stranglehold on self-publishing?
> You're still just as likely to let bias influence your actions, and you'll probably try to justify yourself as having good reasons for your biased actions.

I really don't think everybody is equally biased. Some people at least try to use reason and science to guide their beliefs, why other will systematically deny all evidences. Also people who are aware of biases are more likely to recognize their errors when called out with logical arguments.
* Attitude towards food. In many workplaces, universities, schools, etc. a doughnut with some syrup and colored candy sprinkled on it, or a sad sandwich of a lettuce between two slices of bread is seen as an acceptable lunch.
Compared to the Netherlands, the country of Germany or Nordic countries seem like the ultimate foodie-paradise, which tells it all. Perhaps dutch people consume all the good food for supper in the privacy of their homes, but this is invisible to the public.

EDIT: "frikandel-automaat" -- that beast tells all you need to know about a country's attitude towards food.

* Over-designed, over-controlled environment. If your idea of high quality of life is ultramodern office-buildings with no natural light offices, cities with every square foot either concrete or manicured lawn, buildings where you cannot open a window, and cannot water the plant because some central authority takes care of it, and every aspect of your life is efficiently managed, then go for it. I for one, need some unstructured "messiness" every now and then, otherwise I start to feel tense.

* people are nice and open though, society seems to work pretty well, and companies are efficient. No unicorns? ASML makes the machines that make the machines that make semiconductors, the modern world runs on them.
The formal education system at the university level in any of those countries, to me, seems like the exact opposite type of education this article so highly touts. Not only that, but those universities are typically attended much later in life at a time when most children could have already experienced exceptional growth. I'm having a hard time seeing the parallel between your thought / decision-making process and the article.

That depends. People are in poverty for many different reasons.

I know people in poverty where the root cause is downs syndrome: they mentally don't have the ability to be any more than assistant usher at the movie theater. They can handle most usher tasks, but when there is someone difficult they need the head usher: some 16 year old kid who has been on the job for at least 2 weeks.

I know people in poverty because they despite getting straight A's in school they dropped out at 16 and started having kids (I'm not sure if they dropped out before are after the kids started coming, it doesn't matter: both dropping out and having kids were intentional decisions). 10 years latter it finally occurred to them how much their bad life choices has hurt them.

There is nothing a coach can do to help the first person, no matter what they will still be in poverty as they are not capable of doing better. The second just needs a bit of help to turn life around - this help will work now, but at 21 this person would have refused all help as they didn't see that they were doing anything wrong in the first place. Most people in poverty are somewhere in the middle of these two.

The above is based on real people (though I'm hiding a lot of details for privacy reasons). These are not strawman examples, but they should feel like it. I intentionally picked people who are on the two far ends of the extremes.
As a space enthusiast and an European citizen, I can't help but agree.

Yes, USA. Damage and behavior was disclosed. I was told by my insurance company that the problem was "in my head" as the vehicle's body and alignment were within specifications and their road test found no issues. This was a sports car and the behavior evidenced itself on more "spirited" turns.
You're right. This will be fixed and the demo URL will be available again.
// Yeah, coz it's well known to be ineffective

Hmm, the argument I always hear is "the poor don't need to be taught, they need (some short term thing that won't scale)"

If you want to argue the effectiveness of various education methods, I am not down to that level of nuance. Obviously if the education is ineffective, that's a problem, it's still necessary.

Lower socioeconomic class stay in the neighborhood that they grew up in and are much more likely to be close to parents and siblings. This is a much stronger network than some immigrant community of strangers based on country of origin.

And if the benefits of networks based on country of origin were so powerful you'd expect places with a large percent of South American or Caribbean countries to be wealthy. But if you look at small Haitian or Dominican you don't see the same kind of upward mobility compared to asian neighborhoods.
