I've read several books written by soldiers who fought in WW1 and the Boer War.

It's fascinating to read a book written 100+ years ago that is easy to read, informative and witty all at the same time.

Sure, there are some things that are hard to understand b/c they don't exist anymore (E.g. "the crates were packed with excelsior") but overall they've been very interesting.
Hmm okay welp yeah I guess until we prove (somehow?) that they’re a significant (how significant?) cause, then it’s reasonable to continue to expose everyone to known-harmful chemicals. Right now we only know that they hurt individuals and we’re probably seeing population-scale harm similar to what we see in individuals. But yeah it could be like weddings are too expensive and millennials like their lattes too much to reproduce — let’s not act on known toxins in our food supply until we rule out those hypotheses.

Makes a lot of sense!
They were clearly joking. I think.
This could be totally well intentioned and completely honest but no one would believe it anyway. Oracle has burnt so many bridges I'm not sure it could ever recover reputationally from it. It's always about more than just the technology. Reputation will play a large part in anyone's decision making.

"Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it." -- Djikstra.

I've been programming in some form or another since the late-80s. I've been paid to write code for other people for over twenty years. I haven't gone to university.

Maybe it's because I started back in BASIC, assembler, and later C that I know what that term is and have encountered it in various languages and forms several times since?

The problem with wikipedia definitions is that they have to be the definition. Some one like me would expect a link to the definition and not a tutorial. They're not written to take into account that you've been a professional programmer and have never been exposed to a computer science curriculum nor are they written for laypersons who don't know anything about programming.

It's a similar problem for functional programmers trying to explain functors, monoids, and monads: these are not terribly complicated abstractions but catering your explanation to the various audiences out there is incredibly difficult. The definitions sounds like gibberish... but with effort and education it is possible to understand and appreciate it.

And to be fair, Oracle has been a remarkably good steward of Java. It's truly amazing how fast and far Java has come since the Java 7 and Java 8 days. It's been on a rocket sled of development, while still being shockingly well behaved for earlier code. If there's any critique, it's "too fast". But that's nonsense, since the LTS work helps maintain stability.

And it's pretty wide open. They keep some things close to their vest, which is their prerogative, but even some of that stuff has been opening up over time as well.

It's not been a seamless transition, but it's not been awful either. Developers are managing.

It could have been far, far worse.
The thing is, I don't think that the basic idea there—senior management being primarily concerned with making the organization work well for the people in it, with the people further down the ladder being the ones directly in charge of the products—is inherently a bad or unworkable one.

It just requires the senior leadership to openly acknowledge that it means they don't own the products, and shouldn't be the ones making decisions on them, at least not without extensive discussion with the people in the organization that do own the products. That includes decisions to kill off a product, for any reason other than a dire emergency.

The problem, as is so depressingly common, is that being higher up in the org chart makes them believe they are better, smarter people, who always know best. So they make decisions without getting the right information, and very frequently for the wrong reasons.
Thank you for the link. His output seems to be remarkably perenial and valid today, the kind that's usually done by a profound observer that has all the information but that can also see things through the eyes of an outsider.
How are you thinking about the "document level access control" to make this viable for business environments?

Ex: If a connected gdrive document gets indexed, but then someone fixes the share settings in google docs for some item to be more restrictive.. How does Danswer avoid leaking that data?

What on earth. That’s definitely the sort of thing that would make me close the tab immediately.

What are they trying to select for here? Are they hiring all 18 year olds, or does someone in their 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond need to justify themselves slacking when they were a teenager in the eyes of management.

On the other hand, a lot of people that did well when I was in HS are the same who would diligently perform this sort of busywork no questions asked.

Just punched in my muscles for today, and I'd agree.

I get it, I watched a fabulous company get nearly ruined by a couple of bad hires. I'm a big believer in culture adds vs. culture fits and every time you bring someone in they're adding various traits to your culture, some are good and some are bad.

I agree that the up-or-out culture of tenure is bad, and so are many other terrible university policies and practices. But I would not go so far as to ascribe blame to them. 100% of the responsibility goes to the people who knowingly falsified data to advance their careers. That doesn't mean the culture shouldn't change.

There’s nothing controversial about it. Usually people get to know other people at university or at work. To meet someone outside of your everyday environment requires extra effort. I know it from my own experience as well (trying to find a girlfriend while studying CS).
> Why? Who knows! It was never really explained why literally one of the most complex systems imaginable, one that we still really have very little idea how it even works, should be the model for what could and should probably be a lot simpler.

From my understanding, it is that every object has a very limited set of functionalities it manages. And that a goal is for each object to know as little as possible of the outside world. And along with that, to not bind to specific objects/classes but to bind to specific messages (Including multiple dispatch)
A man goes to the office every working day. He works long hours as he is trying to prove himself and really grow his career. Even after work, he's more likely to just quietly hit the gym or read in the evenings.

He's obviously hurt his chances at marriage. He's not investing in any women. He's not socializing or dating, he's not learning to be a good partner.

I didn't say there was nothing wrong with crime in SF. I just shared a link showing (just as your does) that its crime rate is significantly lower than a lot of cities.

For some reason a certain segment of the national media and populace is always talking about the San Francisco crime rate but seemingly never covers stories about crime in Phoenix, Charlotte, Denver, Dallas, or Indianapolis.
Yes, but depending on the interactions it can get complex quickly. D3.js handles all the interactions in JS on the client. ContEx (elixir server-side charting) handles certain events (e.g. data point click) server side (see https://contex-charts.org/barcharts - turn on “show clicked bar” option). Showing data point detail, e.g. “On hover” would require client side code.

Based on your provided links the apples to apples comparison for RHEL Server Standard Support ($799) would be the Oracle Basic Support ($499)

Also, considering that OEL is downstream from RHEL how sustainable do we really think it would be for RHEL to downstream from OEL? How long would OEL invest and maintain in OS components that don’t directly benefit their specific offerings? Is there evidence to suggest there is any truth behind that offer? In my years of following the Linux ecosystem Oracle’s niche seems to have largely evolved around performance optimizations that solve specific problems they experience with other products or feature enhancements to facilitate new developments within their product ecosystem (which is still great for the community!) but what I have not seen is general purpose stewardship of the ecosystem of packages outside the kernel. I have no doubts they have made contributions of that nature but that has certainly not been a constant in what I have personally observed thus far. Perhaps I’m looking in the wrong places but I genuinely don’t believe Oracle would truly take on that responsibility nor do I believe that they would be anywhere near as effective as Red Hat at executing it
Libvirt does not use KVM. Libvirt uses either QEMU (which in turn might or might not use KVM) or Xen or other hypervisors. So it's incorrect to say that Libvirt abstracts over KVM.

And virt-manager indeed manages Libvirt machines so it's not at the level of QEMU as you wrote in the parent comment:

> Proxmox is a virtual machine manager (like QEMU, virt-manager)
I appreciate your comment and think it's very truthful (speaking as someone who has worked in a bunch of different environments). I think your last point though is the most important. There's still personal agency in the situation (though you do give realistic outliers when it can be tough).

I think it's mostly the tone I don't like about this article. It speaks to a defeastism that feels infectious at the moment. It feels very contrary to the normal spirit of communities like HN, which overall I've witnessed being someone positive.

The question is a misunderstanding. In the pure wave (Everett) interpretation, there are no universes being created when the wave function branches. Rather, different regions of the wave function become separated (decohered) from each other. https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/41588/many-world...

>Apparently oop as envisioned by Alan Kay was supposed to work like cells in the body that pass messages between each other and take actions independently.

IIRC he was interested in an abstraction that worked "all the way up" - he wanted the abstraction to essentially be a tiny computer. It's a cool idea with a lot of power. But it really is too powerful for applications, and leads to the same complexity problems you get in large distributed systems. And to not have 'function' as a primitive is inexcusable in any language.

Java's lack of a function primitive is a key weakness. It means you must have at least one "utility class" per project - a public class with static methods that are themselves simple functions. (The relatively recent introduction of lambdas, or anonymous inner classes, does not really address the problem. That's just ugly syntax sugar).
> It looks like the M1 which shipped in the 13" MacBook Air massively outperforms the AMD Ryzen 5 3500U[^1] on Geekbench 5 single core: 1710 vs. 707.

Yes, a fair fight. Pick a laptop with the same core count as M1 and preferably another 5nm laptop chip for a truly "fair" comparison. Like the 5800u, if you fancy. Or ignore that and continue to insist faster and cheaper laptops don't exist.

Presumably the part in any of my previous comment where I mentioned battery life.

It's a $400 laptop and your only critera was that it had to be faster and cheaper. If you actually wanted to talk about displays then yes, your original comment was missing some key details. I wouldn't be surprised if your next reach was to claim MacOS is an "infinite value add" and end our comparison on that basis alone.
Had to smile a little bit when I read this.

I think most scrum masters are employed to virtue signal some kind of agility and organizational potential for change. Which then never results in anything tangible.

It’s quite sad.

If you really care and do what you are supposed to as an SM, you are very likely to get into trouble, because upper management usually isn’t interested the least bit in real change.

Real change is hard and will only happen if the pain is already too strong.

Real change might involve talking to your customer and changing the processes they are used to, which is usually not beneficial to the “management” level.

It’s really not about scrum as such, but about the incentive structure that’s present in most medium to big sized companies.
I think this question stems from a fundamental misunderstanding of the Everett interpretation...the idea of "many worlds" (a phrase I do not favor specifically because of this very misunderstanding!) evokes this imagery of an entirely new universe BURSTING forth dramatically upon the collapse of the wave function, and as an entirely new universe is "created," the amount of extent energy is literally doubled (or multiplied by many times more). Indeed, where does this energy come from?

What the Everett interpretation suggests is that in the same way you are comfortable with the function f(x)=y having (infinitely) many values (you don't HAVE TO choose an x, ie the function doesn't collapse), the wavefunction simply is what it is and doesn't collapse either. What we observe as the collapse of a function is simply an artifact of being a conscious being that can only observe one value of the of the wavefunction at any particular moment.

None of these unique values (observables) of the wave function can interact with each other (in the same way the value of x=2 doesn't "interact" with the value of x=8 for f(x)=y), so energy cannot be gathered or duplicated at any particular point of the wave function, so this energy creation/duplication is no issue.
The main problem with SS for me is that encourages you to push through extreme exhaustion, because weight resets are based on failure to complete reps, and completely ignore Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE). I got a lot stronger on SS, but the last few weeks were killer and ended with injuries for me.

> Of course, being the PM this was somehow my fault

Either PM here being "project manager" or "product manager", that's one of the reasons why PMs never behave like PMs.

Anyway, the one in fault is always whoever is closest. That's a very consistent failure of the "people manager" role.
Interesting. I spent time at another FAANG, and the product teams were very, very, very strong...among the best I've worked with. It was the Engineering leadership that was essentially invisible. I managed a team of 12. They knew the names and faces of every PM that intersected with our work (including the Director & VP), but none could name anyone in the Engineering hierarchy beyond my skip level. In my case, the above description of VP levels applied (IMHO) to the Engineering leadership, much to the same detriment.

> Look at permissive open source software ... No copyright does not mean no compensation

From everything I've heard it kinda does. If you're writing something valuable then maybe a company will employ you to keep working on it, and the portfolio can certainly help in interviews (to write other software), but getting non-negligible compensation for the use of the software itself is rare. Even those projects that are well funded, like the Linux kernel, are done so not out of goodness of heart, but due to companies realising it's in their rational interest to have a common standard base of sorts

In terms of written works, the best comparison we have is Wikipedia, and while the foundation does receive funding from companies who realise how useful of an integration it can be for their products, the writers themselves do not get paid afaik (and when they do, it's rarely a good thing). But if you just wrote an open source textbook, I doubt you'll manage to make much money off it, and the prospects for fiction look even worse

> Perhaps kickstarter-style firms that direct oversight over funded projects

Sounds like a return to rich patrons and needing to flatter them to get grants. Luckily with the modern internet we do now have democratised layman patronage, but why the need to force everyone into that model? Also note that almost all successful Patreon artists do have perks for paying, even if it's just early access, and afaik make a lot of their money off commissions. Those who just post art for free, with no paid comms, and just have a "tip jar" make relatively little from what I hear

UniHiker review – A Linux-based STEM education platform with IoT and AI support
In Everettian Mechanics, decoherence occurs long before the box is opened. The photons in the box interact with the cat. That entanglement with the environment which causes the branching of the wave function occurs then.

The observer that opens the box is already either in a branch where the cat is asleep (to borrow from Sean Carroll) or awake.

The interesting thing to come to understand is that probability doesn't actually seem to exist as a real feature in the universe. Rather, probability is a measure of what observers believe they will or are seeing. Probability, in Everettian Mechanics, is about perception of the universe, not a feature of the universe itself.
