The stuff op quoted:

is strong language and not productive. If someone at my company sincerely criticized my work in this way I'd find it unacceptable and managers would get involved. There's criticism and there's polemics, and this is the latter.
Did the musl people never get around to implementing EDNS0? There's lots of talk here about not implementing DNS/TCP, but the musl people could have ameliorated that, and side-stepped the years of complaints to an extent, by implementing EDNS0 and allowing up to 64KiB datagrams.

Yes, some (I hope more rare now than when I wrote the FGA on it almost 20 years ago) firewalls cannot handle large DNS/UDP datagrams, but this code isn't for traffic that crosses firewalls. It's for traffic that goes only as far as the local resolving proxy, or at least goes somewhere "nearby" like 9.9.9.9. EDNS0 firewall worries are a lot less here.

And EDNS0, at least for the bit that enables >512 byte datagram sizes, is a lot less complex to implement than full DNS/TCP fallback. It's just proper buffer size handling and an extra resource record set.

I like it. One way to do this is to create a personal consumption budget based on what a normal life would look like if the resources were equally shared and everything was done in a sustainable way. The rich would have to come down many steps of the ladder (and pretty much everybody reading this would be classified as rich) and the poor would be able to go up a bit. I don't think it could be done with 8 billion people though, but doing the math on this is super complex and probably would be years worth of work.
well, i think i did my 2 years term (eh) trying to be CTO/head-of-eng in not-that-organised setup.. and heh, was never given the manager powers/tools. But got things like deciding over my head and workarounding me.

before i started, i read the Managers Path of Camille Fournier... REALLY good book - and the only thing that did not match with me was "you cannot be friends with them (below) anymore". Which, sadly, is mostly true. But i did not expect the other parts. Politics that is not called politics.

So, yeah, looking for Mentoring/ Principal/ Staff/ Whatever-you-call-that - in my 35years making software i have-been even life coach (of few chosens) but seems not a Manager (of whoever run-of-the-mill is there)

ah. have fun.

edit: and the lesson is: you can only be a proper manager if you have proper "manager" above..
Just FYI, re-training muscle memory is how you avoid RSI with keyboards/mice. Its important to switch up your input devices every few months and give the muscles in your hands a chance to de-calcify from the previous ergonomics.
I can't even tell if this comment is pure biting satire, especially on account of the last sentence. Or if it is meant to be taken at face value.
> Messi didn't pull up any trees at PSG, and Ronaldo's second stint at MU was underwhelming. In both cases, that's because the team tactics had to be shifted to accommodate these players, to the detriment of the other players.

Messi nor Ronaldo were the star player of these teams that you mention.

The fans at PSG booed Messi. Kylian Mbappe was the main star and maybe Neymar. Messi always wanted to stay at Barcelona but it didn't work out. He more played his part and wasn't trying to be the star.

Ronaldo was well past his peak even in his Juventus days. He definitely wouldn't be a star player in any top team. No, it's not the team's fault.

> My old team lead was rated highly. But he stifled the rest of the ICs. From above he looked good, from below he looked shit. He should not have been developing software, he needed to be in a process-oriented role. I believe that our productivity would have increased - certainly morale and cohesion would have - if he'd fucked off and not been replaced.

I don't see this as a counter example. You assume there's some god neutrally working towards the greater good of the organization. Often there isn't. If the above, i.e. those paying the salaries like it - that's all that matters. It's a different problem if management gets their priorities, metrics or whatever wrong. This team lead is the way they are because of such incentives. They are rewarded for it.

Show HN: A Ruby gem to easily use Slack's Block Kit
This is a neat concept and worked great for a German conversation. Adding a pronunciation/text-to-speech element would make it a lot more useful for beginners and is especially important for any tonal languages. It might also be helpful to support spaced repetition, i.e. be able to mark an AI response as useful and then be prompted to recall it later on. There might even be some clever prompt engineering to get GPT to try favoring certain words/phrases in its response based on proficiency level.

From a business standpoint, I would suggest focusing on one language, and targeting people who are learning it with the AI + courseware. One of the GitHub founders started chatterbug.com specifically to teach German, and they delivered an exceptional experience that was easily worth $100/month (including video chats with a German coach). Now they've taken that successful model and expanded to other languages. If I could get the same conversation going with an AI, that's great, but the real secret sauce to any online learning play is the content.

What are these ways (besides founding a startup or something similar)?
Because people vote it up?

And because OpenTTD often gets a positive recognition here.
The amount of fixes itself does not say anything about the importance or complexity of a release.
> and we need to value ICs more

Maybe start by getting rid of the silly term - "IC". What's the difference between a product, project, sales and a people manager? They all manage something.

It's people's egos and lust for power that makes this distinction.
> My argument above is that if you can hire a smaller team of good senior people then this is often cost-effective.

> I understand (and agree with) the distinction you're making.

Isn't this contradictory?

That's the trap we're stuck in. I remember Amazon HR saying their Senior titles are the equivalent of Staff Engineer titles elsewhere.

You can hire a highly experienced small team and pay each of them more. They don't all have to be "senior" in title and responsibility. They're just engineers. Fixed budget divide by the number of people (roughly) has nothing to do with titles. It only does according to some system where compensation is tied to titles.

You've said you understand the distinction but then some sentences later have just walked it all back.

> What you described seems like what happens if you want a senior-heavy team, hire people who aren't at that level yet, then still manage them as if they were seniors.

I repeat, you're after an experienced/skilled team - not senior-heavy. E.g. you may need someone highly experienced in React and Rust with 50 years experience. It doesn't make them senior. Working autonomously doesn't make you senior.
What would sustainable security even look like?
We need also to recognize that there are two types of technology in the planet earth. Human and non-human technology. Is widely accepted that some species other than Homo sapiens developed technology.

Many of this animals are in the family hominidae but we could expand the definition to cover other examples. A beehive for example could be accepted as bee technology. It has a well defined purpose, implies several examples of material design and manipulation and can't be created just by geological or magnetical forces.

Bees evolved beehives to keep protected and warm in winter. We evolved clothes, buildings and bonfires. Is not really different.

Moreover, the acari that is riding that honeybee to move far than its range is not really different than us learning how to ride a horse for the same purpose.

We adopted and replicated a lot of animal technology (like making paper) but not all. We still don't dominate the technology to make a clam shell from scratch for example.

Identifying extraterrestrial technology in the planet could be much more difficult. We need to separate it from non human technology first and could be much more subtle than the festival of ligths and steel that we see in the films but could be also "very alien". Until data most if not all of the "extraterrestrial" signs were found to have a perfectly normal terrestrial explanation.
P2P sounds great and I'd love to implement it when it is ready. I think Conduit is pretty well suited for this. But it will still take quite some time until Matrix is ready for p2p clients, it needs some significant protocol changes: https://arewep2pyet.com/

I was always taught that “whitepapers” were this sort of thing and were distinct from academic papers. However this seems to be industry or ecosystem specific because the cryptocurrency ecosystem uses “whitepaper” to mean their academic papers, or at least their approximation of them.
I agree. This is essentially trivia - and I’m saying that as someone who’s played opened for years.

Now posts about complex signaling and a station layouts? That’s interesting.

A minor point release with zero new features, only a few minor bug fixes? Not interesting.
Actually as explained it was simply lack of knowledge about your country. I had no idea basic services could be so bad. The history of the Greyhound coach service is actually very interesting.

I prefaced with 'white European' because that is what I am. I considered it relevant to set my frame of reference. I have no idea what you are doing but I recommend more international travel. The world is full of amazing experiences, good, bad, indifferent but all valuable.

It would be fine. If you commented about it I would suggest better alternatives. I never suggested America was a shithole. In my experience it is incredibly diverse. You have the whole gamut of experiences there from amazing to terrible!

Sure, maybe the original poster was thinking of beliefs purely as "statements made within the internal logic of pieces of fiction", the only type of belief where truth has no place.

On the other hand they were talking about religious training, and religions are pretty clear that they do teach (some sort) of truth.

> Ultimately we are all paid to solve the problems the business needs solved

There's usually leeway in this: the business has many needs and they get prioritized depending mostly on perception (project impact projections are usually fuzzy with no concrete evidence to back them up)

A manager can be good at pitching interesting/rewarding problems to solve, and get the higher ups' buyin to prioritize them over more boring asinine work.

Python is technically multithreaded, but the GIL means only one thread can execute interpreter code at a time. If you use libraries written in C/C++, the library code can run in multiple threads simultaneously if they release the GIL.

I vaguely recall Node used to run multiple threads under the hood for disk I/O, but it might use kqueue/epoll these days.

I like it so much that you can just specify dependenies in the script.

That's what I hate about python scripts - as soon as you need one third party dependency, the ease of running the script just jumps out of the window and you need to create an entire project in its own dedicated directory and include install instructions for people who want to run it.
It isn't as if PyPy doesn't exist. Embracing it during the 16 years of its existence is another matter.
Every release brings Python closer to becoming Java. Another ten or so years, and we'll have feature parity with Java 8 or something. Maybe it will even be as fast!

Show HN: Superflows - Open source toolkit to build AI assistants for SaaS
Henry, Matthew and James here – we’re building an open source devtool that makes it easy to add an LLM-powered assistant to software products. It can take actions in the software and answer questions, like having a ChatGPT plugin within your product. It’s also open source, so you don’t have to send user data to another 3rd party.*

We started working together 2 years ago and have pivoted a few times. One problem we came across running a startup was we had to learn to use a lot of business software.

We also heard from people running software companies that one of their biggest problems was helping users get the most out of their software. We’re building Superflows to address these problems.

Superflows works by calling API endpoints (and in time, functions in your code) which you choose to expose. This lets the chatbot achieve tasks within your software in response to natural language queries.

You can upload your OpenAPI spec to our dashboard to get up and running, or there are presets to test with. You can enable/disable endpoints and evaluate performance in the playground. We also have a react UI library (@superflows/chat-ui-react) to make it easy to integrate into your software.

You can self-host for free. We're charging for the cloud version. This has faster & easier setup, multiple users, user permissions, analytics & support.

*We currently only support GPT as an LLM, but are working on making it easy to host llama 2 so the whole stack is open source.
- /info is broken (try reloading it)
- js is half a mb
- app is polling the db way too fast
- app is a small counter but uses react, which is made for big scale social networks
- its made in 48h, which is wayyy too long?
In the UK it's the other way round.

Our big two 'budget' (haha) hotel chains, Premier Inn and Travelodge both charge for barely usable Wi-Fi. The former offering an unlimited free service but restricted to about 500kbps and a paid 'ultimate' service which runs at about 10mbps. The latter giving you 30 mins free and then you have to pay, unless you're in one of their premium rooms where its included. Total racket supplied by Virgin WiFi for both. Thankfully don't often need it with better 4G/5G signal but sometimes the rooms can be Faraday cages.

Most of the more posh hotels I've been to have free unlimited decent WiFi.
why are you being so hard on a solo entrepreneur? I'm sure making a sleek service like that takes plenty of all nighters. He is even offering a free service costing him server and costs to make API calls to an AI service. If you're concerned about privacy, be more supportive, help him sort this out or at least give him some time to sort it out. Don't assume he's being dodgy. Everyone has to start somewhere.
Still better than "bug fixes and performance improvements".
Seriously? We got "credible information?" Did we?
I've never been asked to boot my laptop. One been asked to turn on other things. Never a laptop. And it isn't like you could design a laptop to work with a bomb in it. Or maybe your battery is dead.
That sounds like a terrible attitude. Management is about providing value to the company, and usually the best way to do that is by shielding your team from the worst of what's coming down by being an advocate for your team and what they do, and communicating the real situation as well as possible. You work with adults, if they know what they are doing and why they will prioritize well
I looked into it a long time ago (~10-12 years?), and was disappointed JRuby could not use extensions written in C. It's not surprising in retrospect, for obvious reasons, but has there been some progress in this area?
While I have no experience in dealing with the SEC, I do in dealing with EASA and SOX audits. One common theme, both give you the barebone rules as written, and it is up to you to figure out how to follow them. In case of EASA, you define your own processes, and auditors sign off on those. You can hire external consultants to help you, but in the end it is your responsibility.

In case of SOX, you are required to have one company doing the prep work (processes, controls, internal "audits") with you, while another company does the formal audots and signs of on the balance sheets and financiap results. The latter wont give you any guidance neither when it comes to how compliance can be achieved.

And in both cases, there are always people that refuse to accept the well established guiderails and limits, when those are explained to them. Excuses range from inconvenient to I-do-not-want-to to "but what about innovation". Which is just bonkers, because both, SOX and EASA basically allow you to write your own internal rule book, and still people are not happy. It seems following rules is just below some people and their egos. Not that auditors care so.
Because they didn't revrite it completely after 1 year.
> These sorts of characters might not have been cliche in the 19th Century, but they certainly are today.

It's interesting how older works that were new and special at the time start looking generic and derivative decades later after inspiring a bunch of now-common tropes. Lord of the Rings if published today would be generic derivative fantasy because it has elves, dwarves (with a 'v'), halflings etc. and generally is just imitating Lord of the Rings.
Thanks for the correction.

No such thing as safe CEX under the SEC, I guess. I do wonder what they imagine a legally-registered CEX would look like... only accredited investors can purchase and transfer crypto? Or, if it were up to Gensler, Coinbase would only sell Bitcoin?

Who was paying for all that? What was the purpose of such an illegal lab to have all those poorly managed equipment, mice, samples, chemicals, and viruses?
I have a deep respect for Simone de Beauvoir, so I clicked this link with interest, but I cannot find anything interesting in this article. It reads like a cross between a Tumblr post and a freshman essay. The writing is stilted, and the literary references are tenuous at best. If the article is trying to convey ideas, I am not sure what those ideas are, and if it is trying to create an emotional state, I don't think it succeeds. Not to be too ungenerous, but I half expected a recipe to follow the article.

For anyone interested, I would recommend simply picking a Simone de Beauvoir book yourself. They're not nearly as impenetrable as they're made out to be, and they contain much more meaning. (de Beauvoir is no Derrida, which I mean as a compliment.)
You can buy water in the us airports, or bring an empty bottle and fill it. And besides they HAND you a cup of water on the plane if you ask.

This live crowdsourced approach is a far better way to test and refine hypotheses than peer review and the current state of science journals.
AI has been discussed in public for years and was attached to huge numbers of things well before chatgpt. Chatgpt only came out less than a year ago.
Random forests are absolutely AI as the term has been used for a very long time in academia and in public.
I'm not sure what you mean exactly?
I hope we get a video from Iris proving it's not glued to the support, if they were able to produce a levitating grain that's amazing. Regardless if superconducting or not.
Been following this very closely. Seems like the one takeaway is that whatever material this is, it's interesting. It's also difficult to synthesize in bulk, which is a shame because superconductivity is not easy to observe in non-bulk materials (think: powder).

Note: I have a physics degree and a little bit of condensed matter experience, but nothing like anyone actually working in the field. Just some graduate courses and a bit of lab work experience.
Delusional people. Yes yes, bad-ass barbie hackers, that's what the world needs now.
