As someone who is also manager as well, this last year i've allocated myself 30 minutes a week for myself to go through jira and notes from meetings throughout the week and really prioritize and scrutinize what's in motion and what's in the near term hopper and it has saved me countless hours of scrambling and rushing around to clarify things now that I have them clarified in my head every week.

I mention this because as someone who loves writing code and building solutions who migrated into management roles, this was the thing I would actively procrastinate doing in lieu of "fun" stuff like writing code and collaborating with the team on various problems. This may be more directed to developers who move into management, but the advice itself is good for everyone - dedicate time to organize, prioritize and really clarify to yourself what is going on - weekly/monthly/whatever your schedules look like.
I agree that a debate between a scientist and politician is silly and doesn't lead to a good faith discussion, and that the "come and defend your position" argument is disingenuous in that context.

From what I can see though, Hotez is advocating political positions and using "science" as a cover. Even if he has experience in the scientific part of it, if he wants to get into the politics, he needs to engage with it, he can't just hide and say "science!".

Regardless, the debate would be stupid. The issue is not the science, it's the government overreach. It would be stupid to hear RFK debate the effectiveness of vaccines, and stupid to hear Hotez pontificate about why forced vaccination or lockdowns are ok. I'd personally rather see a debate about the politics between two qualified people that doesn't sink to invoking "science" as relevant.
Some thing like 40 to 60% of incarcerated individuals in the US were either drunk or high when they committed their crimes. It also probably doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that people under the influence are more likely to do violence to others, including their spouses, behave, recklessly, potentially injuring, bystanders, or coworkers, or check out, mentally not showing up to work for living up to their obligations ( e.g. taking care of their family). I don’t say this as someone that’s for the illegalization of drugs and alcohol, but any advocacy that doesn’t confront the harsh cost inflicted by substance-abuse, feels simplistic, and un-considered.
Part of recent tech layoffs in SF. Zero responses to my job applications.
That's not a very constructive response. UUIDs do provide global uniqueness, which can occasionally make mistakes more obvious. Do you have a counter argument to support your strong objection?
LOL. Kind of like soiling your pants and then hiring someone to clean up the mess. Better to stop soiling your pants.
If you liked Clockwork Rocket, you'll also like Dichronauts.

Whereas Clockwork is set in a +/+/+/+ universe, Dichronauts is +/+/-/-. Between that and the +/+/+/- of the ones set in our own, he's covered every possibility.

(+/+/+/+ and -/-/-/- being mathematically equivalent.)
The best CoC it's human rights. Everything else it's just a matter of civism.
Are you asking if a set of rules used to outline acceptable conduct in project participation has ever been enforced in good faith?

Because they have, and I guarantee you that you've been aware of such enforcement actions in the past.
It is true that no one would call it almost Semitic, but some very common words are of arabic origin.

Taza, guitarra, almohada, albañil, algebra, elíxir, tamarindo, fulano, alfombra, acimut, cenit, café, azúcar, naranja, azar, ajedrez, arsenal, aceite, alcohol, arroba, azulejo, alberca, cero, etc.

And also several toponyms, the most famous probably being Andalucía.

Aha but the salty water will make them anti-fragile. Embrace discomfort. Especially if you're a fish.
Looks very interesting but I would not try something without standard email + password sign up
I think your argument is a bit shaky if you take into consideration alcohol in society.

alcohol consumption is perfectly acceptable, very well-regulated, “safe”, and alcoholics receive plenty of support and sympathy from public health, yet that doesn’t stop alcoholism ripping through society with countless victims (and victims of victims).

You can even make the argument that many alocholics wouldn’t be so if alcohol was less normalised in society
lol...yeah we have that established within the team now. But still a challenge to find out a right contact across teams at 3am in the morning if the issue is from another team. May be we should build a service level ownership list so that we can tag them (in addition to their on-call). Curious to know what level of ownership you were referring about?
This is what the Meta and Windows MR headsets do as well, it's not even that intensive.
There are a huge number of these things in compilers. I listed two: code layout and register allocation. And you've got plenty of other things like inlining, outlining, and unrolling decisions.
This would turn website operators into copyright bounty hunters.
They are used in niche applications. All in a somewhat similar way, in my opinion: precision technical work. Where you need free movement of your head but also need urgent real-time updates, or a diagram or secondary view, of what you're working on. Fighter pilots, surgeons, underwater divers working on complex machinery. I've always figured they will stay largely restricted to those niches. But cost coming down might see new applications.
Metering is such a PIA to implement properly, and the cost of getting it wrong is super steep: Lost revenue or, worse, overbilling. Love the idea of this project, and I'm liking what I see so far!
There is always something once in a while that steals the focus from the text and forces you to click back.
While wrong joins is a weak argument IMHO, our customers somewhat frequently ask to merge data, either from test to prod or from one company to another (after acquisition f.ex.).

In a lot of cases that can be a pain due to overlapping integer primary keys and large parent-child table sets.
after a recent and publicized (post-covid 19) addition of agents to the IRS, a neighbor in California got a summary readjustment of their low-income in a high cost-of-living area; the summary adjust showed an additional $23,000 in taxable income, with no supporting documentation. After making an appointment and waiting for weeks to contact the office, the adjustment was declared "in error" and rescinded, again with no supporting documentation.
>Legal restrictions on medicines and intoxicants are in place all over the world, and that hasn't led to "others" taking control of my body.

If you say so. I believe prohibition exerts substantial control over our bodies, and also corrodes other aspects of personal freedom (such as the Fourth Amendment in the US).
Business class tickets often cost more than 3500 above than coach ticket for a single round trip.
I should add, that cheaper corn also makes the things that eat corn cheaper. That doesn't mean those things are healthy.

The power structure / status quo is based on stability. Hunger / starvation of the masses tends to bring about instability. The point is, the food system is NOT driven by health (of the masses or the environment for that matter). It's driven by Food X's ability to starve off starvation (and associated unrest). That is, just because you're eating what's been normalized doesn't mean it's ideal for your health.
The hustle never ends and I'm so over it
Yes, though not with a didicosm. (Unless your standards for Escher-esque spaces are low.)
I'm from a part of the US where "guys" is used as a gender neutral collective noun. My mom and grandma would call out "guys, dinner is ready!" to the whole family to call us to the table for example.

So it's definitely whiplash inducing for the same group of people preaching inclusion and tolerance, and how we need to accept regional and racial dialects in the workplace, to then turn around and implement slackbots that nag and shame me for my regional speech patterns.
The same value prop as looking at a painting. There is none if you don't want to look.
2015 was when I used Aurelia, too. As someone who used the first version of Angular, it was a breath of fresh air, and I agree that you can get results quickly using Aurelia. I left that company so haven't been using it, but I've secretly hoped people would catch on and switch to it somewhere down the road. But as you say, it's fine that it's not popular--quite often, the best things are not the popular things.
I think the better version of these ideas is in Jason Cohen's classic "Designing the Ideal Bootstrapped Business" talk.[0, 1]

The difference is that Jason Cohen's advice is based on personal experience growing four businesses to over $1M/yr in revenue. I'm not seeing what qualifies this author to give such broad, sweeping advice about bootstrapping.

Interesting development...

Why exclude Bitcoin in all of this? is it unlike other cryptos in it's 'unknown ICO'? What makes bitcoin a commodity, vs. Solana, Cardano and Polygon being securtys. Is it the distribution of tokens, method of ICO, tech stack?

Snowden showed us the US gov has complete worldwide monitoring, so there's no way they don't know who satoshi is/ was/ were... There's some unknown POI, with $56B and you don't think the CIA and FBI aren't extremely concerned about that person. People always pointed towards bitcoin as being used for 'Money laundering' but its the perfect honey-pot. It's not private, it's completely public and i can tell exactly where and how you interact with the chain. So many idiots think, 'bitcoin's private! let's launder money through it in a super stupid way that still hits all the KYC flags. Oh, your wallet uses tornado cash wash? all incoming and outcoming wallets are now flagged.

Why didn't the US ban Bitcoin out the gate?

It's not like they US doesn't have presidence here. They shut down and put in jail previous creators of 'internet money'.

China (Who also has world-wide monitoring) was also extremely fast in noticing it. in 2013 with a market cap of 1.3b, they banned it while the US was completely apathetic.

BTC was created by the CIA. There, i said it.
Especially when people try to impose Enterprise Quality Java on the students, and your project gets bloated with interfaces and dependency injection and config files…all for a single platform with fixed hardware :(

When we were still using Java, I had the students just make everything static. We don’t need more than one instance of our IntakeSubsystem. We only have one intake. But the OOP boilerplate persists.
He’s talking about Ariely, who the first blog post seems to implicate by saying the xls files came from his computer and none of the coauthors were responsible (Gino listed as a coauthor).

Does this implicate Ariely or did I read that wrong?

I would love to see an example of a scaled 1-person business. The idea is super-compelling in theory, but just the thought of everything involved.
- Sales / Marketing
- Product / Technology / Engineering
- Support / Services (customization changes)

all rolled up in one just seems like an incredible thing.

I think this has to be 1-person businesses are usually service businesses - selling expertise. Would love to see real products which are live and run by 1-people businesses.
For some reason you want to do them. It's not like some dummy algorithm to decide what you do right now. What you want is a very complex computation which is basically already done and takes into account everything you know. There's no reason to try to outsmart yourself. If you are excited about the future associated with some task (or about the future in general) you are excited about doing the task. Some grim outlook on the future makes it rational to optimize short term results. E.g. sleep deprivation gives a glimpse of that.

Basically seems pointless to fight with yourself. Maybe you don't really want the long-term task + result package. Or maybe wishful thinking is causing you to fantasize about getting a result without doing the task. (I'm sorry about using second person, seems most straightforward way to communicate it).

I guess there's also some element of narration creating fictional character - e.g. I can't stop playing chess - playing chess is who I am. Which basically is daydreaming again.

And btw it all sound pretty analytical but in practice is mostly value driven. But if necessary, I will debug the stack deeply. Honesty is required. It goes deep and into intimate places. I would leave my wife and kids if I wouldn't want to be with them (and I think that's best for everybody). Given that I do and want them to be happy a lot of stuff follows effortlessly. I think many people are afraid to question these deep assumptions. But it's worth doing it. Otherwise it's castles on sand.

Back when I was starting with debugging I once deeply considered our marriage since I needed to take some trash out :))
I get what you're saying. And yeah there are of course legitimate grains of wisdom mixed in with the claptrap and nonsense (as with most dysfunctional belief systems).

But by this stage, that's all beside the point. The "[Aa]gile" meme/cult has become radioactive. I'm personally done with it, and would greatly prefer never having to hear about it ever again.
COMB UUIDs can help here.
tbh I have never heard about it.

You can raise money from crowdsourcing and everywhere, it's such a big problem.

Students have little incentive, but the point is to have some measure of teacher success. The tests can also identify kids that may need intervention, which is some incentive to kids that don't need it to still do well on the test.
It's one more thing that makes it unlike a phone or a laptop with a long battery life. (Haven't had one of those since my netbook fell apart)

The Hololens 1 has the problem that it does not work outside in the day at all, it is just not bright enough to compete since it works by adding to (not subtracting from) light from the outside world. Inside the house though it can put "holograms" in all but the brightest places. No way I am installing Microsoft Streets & Trips on it and using it to navigate on foot or in the passenger seat of a car.

The Apple Vision will do better outside. For years I've been dreaming of making an Iron Man Halloween costume with a passthrough VR setup, even though I anticipate I'd need to have a handler to stay safe. I guess if I don't do it this year I won't get to do it before it becomes passe.
You have to be careful with 'disparate impact' because it cuts both ways. For example let's say we live in some utopian world where there is no racial bias but for some random reasons different groups of people will break different laws at different rates but overall on average outcomes of the law are the same. If you wanted to introduce racial bias in this system in favour of some group then you could just find the laws that disproportionately effect your favoured group then argue for their removal under the theory of 'disparate impact'. Our world of course is much more complicated but I think it should be clear that 'disparate impact' can be a way to introduce more racial bias into the system.
Maybe I’m out of touch in the UMC bubble, but aren’t AirPods pretty so common they they are no longer really a status symbol?

iPhones aren’t anymore either. You seen poor people with them all the time.

A similar story I heard from colleagues in the field was about a CNN trained on images of tumors that ended up learning to identify images containing rulers that were placed there by a human for reference.
This whole blog is just a regurgitation of surface-level wikipedia knowledge. All of these issues are very well known in the industry. Asking to solve all of them, perfectly, at once, is clear indication of someone who's never done product development.
> white CIS male

The "CIS" is redundant - meaning of the phrase would be the same without it.
I argue that PETA succeeded to bring into the official discussion other, more moderate organizations, thus effectively moving "the cause" forward at the expense of their own organization. Probably that was not their goal, but from a 10.000 feet it looks like achieving that. I think the same goes with the "eco terrorists", they may get slaughtered in the process but ecology gets on everybody's tongues. Again not sure they are planning it like this or it's just a side effect.
That is client management issue in my eyes. I prefer working with individuals. I find business often make political and erratic group decisions. This makes client management almost impossible. Any client large or small that understands what they are asking is a good client. I personally find dealing with individuals or coherent groups is the sweet spot.

I'm also more or less done working specifically for others and I'm now pursuing a market that is measured in the 1s or maybe 10s if it's a real success.
Which is valid as an unpolluted testimony about smoothness of adoption, right?

BTW, is noticeable that you were careful to omit the `I have always been on the server side` part.

Any more details here?
RedHat also backports fixes, security patches, and (occasionally) features to existing RPMs without incrementing the minor version.

For example fuzzywhatsit-3.0 in RHEL could be functionally equivalent to 3.5 in another distro.
https://apolloapp.io/ is a great and relevant one; it's a full fledged app with monetization, back-end services, etc etc.

Relevant because it'll likely shut down by the end of the month due to Reddit's mismanagement.
> In most instances it is not the rules that are the problem, it is the people enforcing the rules that is the problem

This is the key to any group organized by the Rule of Law. Having the rules written down, in theory, means that everyone knows what the boundaries of their liberty happens to be, and they are free to behave without constantly asking for permission. That's the theory. The reality is that sometimes that "laws" are poorly written for that purpose, and sometimes the way the group enforces those "laws" fails rise to the aspirations.

I think a CoC for a larger project is helpful for not only advertising the norms of the group, but creating an an opportunity to avoid arbitrary enforcement.

Unfortunately, a lot of those CoC are simply copy and pasted from other groups without the adopting group really understanding what they are adopting, and there's an absence of a "jury of your peers" and instead you are always "tried" by (often) self-selected judges who are mostly there for the thrill of being an enforcer.

So, it's like half-assed Rule of Law and you get half-assed results. But it's a step in the right direction.
If the experience is profoundly "life-changing" (obviously an exaggeration), all of the other objections will fade away. I think they've created a device capable of at least one, if not multiple, "killer apps" that are not possible using todays hardware.
They might have different patterns, as I cancelled my Prime membership a couple of years ago and it was very easy/straightforward. (Or maybe the dark patterns have surfaced since then.)
Medication made a life changing difference in my case. It's no longer a problem at all doing the things I want or need to do, like getting deeper into hobbies or starting on work projects I'd been dreading.
As another European I consider this a grave mistake and I am not surprised that we do not see many successful startups in Europe. It is part of the narrow-minded micro managing mindset that too many European politicians (especially the greens) have.

Instead of finding an innovative solution (how about mandating ISPs to make IP addresses unmappable to a user?) they only know one solution: Making things illegal, even if in almost all cases the use is benign or even makes a lot of sense.
Can't +1 enough Jason Cohen's talk, it changed the way I think about business ventures as an engineer with aspirations to become an entrepreneur.
The people that do not make GUIs but apps with complex behaviours.

I don't think there is a difference here.

Callbacks are nice and simple. Callbacks calling callbacks calling callbacks calling callbacks (because of one of worst ideas in programming ever, function coloring) stops being simple. Async/await is just a patch over that ugliness for languages that can't do any better easily

I agree with all of this, but they said 'callbacks are not natural'. I don't think this is a language issue either and I don't think coroutines help. Just like I said in the first comment, I think the way to go is to have a queue of events/inputs and use that because the ordering and debugging is much better and you don't get the same web of jumping to different parts of the execution.

I do think that callbacks are a 'natural' and straightforward idea that most people either think of independently or understand well the first time they see it. It doesn't mean that's the best way to do it, but to say it isn't 'natural' is bizarre.
Euro-nope, never came across it apart from 'rich people', - and several Americans I know (true to that particular stereotype).
Svelte 4
I don't know if it still functions, but there's the h264ify extension for Chrome/Cloniums and Firefox that forces YouTube to play an h.264 stream, which opens up hardware decoding for a LOT more machines including a bunch of laptops that can't have their GPUs swapped out.
> how the invisible version can perform almost as well as the one where you click things

I don't think it does for me. I run most websites in temporary containers, I do a lot of tracker blocking on DNS, uBo, etc., I clean cookies frequently.

Either those CAPTCHAs are really bad and are considering me human when they shouldn't, or all those things you mentioned are not necessary for their core functionality.
Which people? The imaginary people who are offended by "deadlock"?
The article does not say you should have one customer. It says you should choose a niche, target businesses, and aim for big dollars/small customer base rather than small dollars/big customer base.
Selling to businesses can be really hard. You can get stuck with ISO standards, data and server locations and SLAs. The lead time on sales can be many months, and there's a real chance it falls through.

And on top of all that there's the strangest perception of value that can drastically change from person to person.

Companies could happily pay thousands for access to data for a single
brands segmentation, then baulk at the idea of paying $7 per user for something like Slack that gets used many times a day by many people.

and step 4, i'd do the opposite. Choose a MASSIVE market. It'll be easier to get customers.
