I thought this was going to be a positive story about how his approach helped teach you to explore solutions via the Socratic method, I wasn't expecting your reaction at all.

Many people would hate a manager who only gave solutions, often described as micro-managing. Here we have a manager who seems hated because he only asked questions.

> I cannot tell you how many LED camp lights I have that have broken or batteries that have failed, including LED Lenser which apparently are a quality brand. Randomly I've been lucky and some have lasted a long time, but that's been rare.

Curious.

For me the number of failures has been "zero" regardless of make, model, or shop.

Matches, on the other hand, have often failed to light when struck, or snapped, or gone out before reaching a (decorative, indoor) candle.

Likewise when using lighters for camp fires or barbecues, even with assistance from lighter fluid it takes a lot of goes and the ignition source often fails and a replacement has to be found.

> What brand of lanterns do you use?

Lantern? As in for fire, not an alternative name for a torch? If so, I don't use them.

If that does mean torch, then I barely notice the brands; some are the ones built into seemingly every USB battery, some are from EuroShop[0] (the second because the first they sold me was too bright), there's a bike light I bought a decade ago but have not taken out of storage in the last 5 years since moving country and that thing is brighter than some room main lights, there's a USB powered camping LED somewhere shaped like a normal lightbulb that I got from I don't remember where, but I don't know if I brought it with me or left it in the UK because it was too cheap to care.

I used to use the EuroShop lights as bedside lights because of the way the bedroom is wired, but now there's a Home Pod and smart bulbs I don't even need that.

None of them failed, ever.

Batteries have been drained, but have always been predictable in that regard and are rechargeable, and longer lasting, and vastly brighter, per unit of mass/volume than candles.

Go your own way if the lost salary is not an issue. But make sure you don't have a non-competing clause in your contract if you leave and start your own thing.
A good thing to ask is why you dream about a particular thing so much. is it even your own dream? or something society has told you to believe in? why so much dissatisfaction in the first place that you have to go crazy chasing something.
So what would you consider esoteric knowledge then?

I have to be honest I never heard of Stack Canaries before - it seems like a fairly specific term of art and I would have a hard time thinking of it as "common trivia"
The union would kick out members who are strike breaking. It isn't possible to break the strike if you're not part of it. It wouldn't be effective to hold a strike in the first place if it was only a small minority of employees.

It’s understandable to feel personal attachment to one’s work, but it’s important to remember that criticism is not a reflection of your worth as a person. Instead of taking it personally, try to view it as an opportunity for growth and improvement. It may be helpful to seek feedback from multiple sources and identify patterns in the critiques so that you can address specific areas for improvement. Additionally, practicing self-care and maintaining a positive attitude can help you stay grounded and resilient in the face of criticism.

That’s fair. I don’t think our 61B is optimized for public consumption nor is it designed to do so. I would not recommend learning DS by just watching the lectures posted on this website. But making this website public gives people at least the option, even if it is subpar. So I think we’re in agreement here!
Wise and well worded response here.

Only addition that I might make is that if the reviewer has taken the time to deeply understand your problem space and reply, they have given their time and energy and in a very real sense that is a gift. (Depending on their motivation of course - maybe they do it to lord it over others... but that is not your problem - it's their problem), I try to be thankful and this for me also contributes to the sense of togetherness in a 'us vs the problem' sense.

Conversely, if you're receiving comments that have clearly been phrased as diplomatically as possible, take a pause and note that the other person is trying their best to not be personal about the feedback.

As a random example, sometimes I respond to emails on a one-on-one basis, removing the dozens of people CC-d on the original so the sole recipient can quietly correct a mistake and save face.

Something like 50% of the time they'll angrily reply and add back in the original cast of thousands, ensuring that everyone is now painfully aware of their mistake.
> an improvement by about 33%

Yep. It's better than nothing, but we'd need to find orders of magnitude from somewhere. I don't think they're there to be found, personally: keeping big lumps of metal off the ground with aerodynamic lift runs into fundamental physical constraints relatively quickly (you can do the maths on glide slope and gravitational potential energy - just by rough order of magnitude it's mindboggling that it works at all).

And you're right, we do have this problem right now. Anything that wants to keep our travel patterns as they are today needs to confront the reality that its energy requirements make any other consideration a rounding error. From my point of view the big picture is fusion or bust, but that's, uh, a bit of a long shot.

The good news is that air transport emissions are only about 2% of the total, so there are much more productive lower-hanging fruit to tackle.
At some point, I realized that there's a disconnect between "me" and "my work".

My work is a result of circumstance, like, what my mood was when I did it, how well I know the particular domain, if I've seen solutions to similar problems before, what tools were available and understandable to me at the time.

In other words, the quality of my work depends much more on what the particular task was, than on some inherent quality within myself.

So, try not to let it influence me either way, to not feel some unjustified pride that I made something "difficult", or shame that I couldn't manage to do something "easy".

One liberating tactic I employ, is that I clearly announce when I've messed up, and I'll be the first to do it, and usually with a joke.. "Yeah, so that amazing queue we got up and running last week, I took the liberty to totally mess that up, I learned a lot about how not to do it, I'll eventually learn how to do it right, no worries, I'm working on it."
This takes the pressure off, people know it's broken, who broke it, and who's fixing it, and they expect that I come for help if I need it. One thing I don't do, is say sorry, I'm not sorry, this is my job, we do software development, we break stuff, we make errors, and I'm not sorry about it.
I always thought the old/current Thunderbird logo looked like an envelope wearing a wig.

I accidentally clicked buy premium inside a guitar tuner app the other day, so I quickly pressed the home button. As I pressed it the fingerprint reader started for processing the payment, and bam, I had a $15 monthly subscription to a guitar tuner app.

Luckily the first month was free so I could simply cancel my subscription, but I still don't understand how Apple allows such expensive subscriptions for such silly things. You can buy a real life guitar tuner for less than $15
Amber alerts are to help prevent child abductions, right? The “more harm” from the unintended consequences would have it be pretty bad to compete with that.

I don't think separating "trivia" from the "fundamental realities" is as easy as we hope it is.

I have a very hard time convincing myself I could be as effective a programmer (and learner) without all the "trivia" I accumulated. And this is coming from someone that dislikes trivia with an - at best - average memory.

I think this could be a fundamental problem with intelligence in general. You cannot just build towers of abstraction and live on the highest plane only. All layers co-operate and mingle chaoticly. Every little seemingly random patch of pixels in your field of vision could correlate highly with the highest of abstract concepts you are capable of mentating. Knowing what is "trivia" and what is not is itself too a very hard problem.

Ten Personal Knowledge Management Practices to Explore and Master
No worries, I was just trying to be humorous!
It's funny, but slightly disappointing that it uses special characters, camelcase etc. -- in my mind there are two kinds of passwords/phrases:

- Those that you are NOT expected to memorize because they go into a manager, and can therefore be N character random strings with characters every possible variation (max entropy)

- Those that you ARE expected to memorize because they should be kept out of a manager, and in order for them to be N characters they need to be memorable, like lowercase-only phrases/sentences connected by hyphens or similar (max memorability)

This example of a "strong" password from the webapp is neither:

> #??8FlOATInfreECHrIsTOphERRObINMeTaLUnDERTENSioN

It contains words (for humans) but is impossible to remember, a better one would be:

> float-in-free-christopher-robin-metal-under-tension

Because the only reason to use words in the first place would be if a human is supposed to remember it. If not, you might as well use:

I find this quite strange. Wouldn’t javascript be to the browser what Bash is for the terminal? This is after all just another library.

> That's not an envelope, it's an arrow pointing down.

Huh, I guess I can kind of see that? But at the same time, the shading also really makes it look like an envelope, which is more or less what you'd expect from a mail client. I rather like the bird part of the logo, but the envelope/arrow feels not as prominent or obvious as I'd expect. Still an okay logo, though.
I really don't want to be that guy, but... Vanilla JavaScript already exists as a popular term for JavaScript without any framework. No jQuery, no React - just JavaScript. Calling a library VanJS (as short for "Vanilla JavaScript") is just going to cause confusion.

The repo's own description uses the phrase vanilla JavaScript in this way, and even mixes both meanings within a single sentence.

If the author likes the theme, I'm sure they can still use it indirectly. eg. "icecream.js: add a scoop of vanilla to your project". Or "Go nuts and sprinkle in some Reactive syntax". It's still very punnable, I assure you.
Why sign at all? Isn’t the key requirement that the component was not tampered with after upload? All you need is a hash for that…

Tracing back the code to a legal entity seems unnecessary in the majority of cases.
I don't remember all the details but imgur used to have some pretty strict limits. iirc you could only upload 250 images on a free account?

I was wrong. It was worse. 75 was the limit for free users. I think I never reached the limit until they upped it to 225.

> In order to get ready for upcoming features, the number of recent images a regular user can have in his/her account has been raised from 75 to 225. Keep in mind that you will still be able to upload more if you go over the limit, it’s just that the older images will be hidden from the account (not deleted!). This is great news, because now you can create even more albums and share all your images at once.

> Also, imgur pro accounts have just been made cheaper! A 1 year imgur subscription is now cheaper than any other comparable photo service, including Flickr, Photobucket and ImageShack. With imgur pro, not only is there no limit to the amount of images you can have in your account, there is absolutely no compression, and your images are not modified in any way if they are under 5MB in size.

That's pretty poor analysis. The existence of an issues list on GitHub doesn't automatically mean that the issues are valid, and the 2nd random one that I picked was someone complaining that fetching a package with FTP didn't work when the network was down. In 2021.

* https://github.com/Stichting-MINIX-Research-Foundation/minix...

Then this one turned out to be a chat request.

* https://github.com/Stichting-MINIX-Research-Foundation/minix...

And this one the author actually asked to be closed, because the problem is fixed. It's still open.

* https://github.com/Stichting-MINIX-Research-Foundation/minix...

If those are any indication, this is an issues list where no-one gets rid of the rubbish, and it thus its existence alone tells one nothing at all, as one probably is going to have to weed a whole bunch of very clearly non-bugs out to determine if there's anything left.

MSIX files are Microsoft's equivalent of OCI containers and do all those things. It's not well known but here's a brief rundown of the format and tech:

- They're zips (sorta, but you can't make them with any existing zip library)

- They can contain VFS overlays for system directories. Files placed inside the package under the VFS directory will appear at runtime as if they are installed to c:\Windows\System32 and other well known locations, but only for apps within that package. This is built using an equivalent of unionfs called bindflt.

- Apps run inside "app containers" which are at the lower levels composed of job objects and other kernel features. App containers are the basis of all sandboxing on Windows and are the closest equivalent of cgroups.

- Writes to the user's home directory are transparently redirected to a separate directory specific to that package. This allows data to be cleaned on uninstall.

- You can express various integration points in a declarative manifest file, install/uninstall/download them from the CLI, and individual packages have update feeds a bit like a Docker repository.

There are some differences:

- MSIX is designed for desktop apps, not servers.

- There's no concept of layering like Docker has.

- A Docker repository is a relatively heavy serverish thing. MSIX packages can have a stream of updates expressed, but it's done by just publishing an XML file to a web server.

- MSIX doesn't try to wrap an entire Windows userland in the same way that Docker images ship entire copies of Linux userland. It's all about overlay filesystems.
Seems strange in the US but even in the UK (for example) some digital scans have a 25-year copyright protection added:

> Typographical copyright

> If scanning a copyright-expired work from a British publication, typographical copyright must be borne in mind. This subsists for 25 years from creation of the publication and covers the typographical arrangement of the publication. It does not exist in the United States.

This is an important reminder that the US is one of the weirdest countries when it comes to copyright (despite the lobbying done by Disney, MPA and RIAA it's still one of the most liberal IP regimes in the world).
It's because of scale.

Very complicated algorithms and mathematical proofs can still be understood by a single person, and be explored by a small number of people who all know each other. Brain surgery is done by a small team of people. These are typical "smart people" occupations.

Something as simple as Twitter still needs machinery that spans across technical skills, needs 24 hour monitoring, and needs lawyer and accountant support, so nobody can actually to it.

People think they can do it, because it's easy to spin up a demo that sends messages to a few thousand people and then shut it down again. They don't think about how to scan for CSAM, or how to respond to foreign government censorship requests.

I the same, and it seems to be a realization that comes from past experience. I’m the most senior developer on the project I’m currently working, and I make just as many mistakes as new hires and juniors, the difference is that I probably am able to turn around and fix it a lot faster.

Vanilla Javascript refers indeed to "javascript without a framework". So creating a framework and calling it "vanilla javascript" is... wrong?
