It's meant to be sharing in the moment, kind of like Twitter but specifically for images. A lot of organizations use it for marketing and various forms of outreach, e.g. music venues will post concert flyers on Instagram. there are hashtags but no categories beyond that. you are also kind of stuck with the algorithmic "feed" for viewing, you can't group accounts you follow into categories or playlists. The app encourages you to make multiple accounts for such a purpose, and gives you an easy way to switch among them.

Hopefully the latter.
There are a whole lot of rants about "scientific establishments", "naturopaths" etc that suggest otherwise.

Whether "the science" is the correct label for broad scientific consensus is something of a moot, semantic point anyway. Either way you have a bunch of laypeople largely ignorant of the details saying they trust the scientific consensus and a bunch of ignorant laypeople largely ignorant of the details saying they don't agree with the scientific consensus [because someone else who may or may not be a researcher says some other thing]... but unless the evidential value of the weight of research that results in "scientific consensus" is on average worthless, the "trust the science" blind followers of scientific consensus followers have the better heuristic than the blind rejectors of scientific consensus.
The GP comment is objectively true. Most climatologists study the climate, rather than the economics of climate intervention. “Climatologists agree that global warming is real” is them speaking within their area of expertise, “Climatologists agree that an investment in solar panels is worth the cost” is laundering their authority from one area into a superficially similar one. The fact that solar panels are worth the cost doesn’t impact this argument

However, since climatologists are much smarter than the average person, I would still rather that the average person defer to climatologists on almost any issue (regardless of what it has to do with the climate)
Thanks for the effort.

Probably nitpicking but these types of measures are usually tricky to interpret because there is a high chance your indexes (maybe even rows) are still on PostgreSQL shared buffers and OS cache and might not reflect real usage performance.

To get a more "worst-case" measure, after your inserts and indexes creation, you can restart your database server + flush OS pages cache (e.g. drop_caches for Linux), then do the measure.

Sometimes the difference is huge, although I don't suspect it will be in this case.
We ranked higher for more keywords and traffic from organic search went up.
Though, maybe not. Opening a new context still wants some kind of summary opener.

If your message is short, you might just say it.

But if your message is even slightly long, you probably start with a heads up what the overall gist and point will be. "I have a question." rather than just the question. Or "Accounting just told us we have to..." and then all the stuff Accounting said and what you have do do about it.

Are those openers the most significant bit or the filler?

Definitely "I'm OK" or "You have to turn in your laptop." is absolutely the wrong way to start. It's even like going out of your way to find the worst possible choice out of all the bits in a particular situation. Random order would be better.

So maybe it's not wrong to start with the most important part, but the definition of most important part is apparently up for grabs.

I am surprised that the "Postgres supports JSON so we don't need NoSQL systems" talking point is so common on Hacker News. MongoDB's marketing department is partially to blame for this because they marketed the negative trade-offs of MongoDB like non-SQL querying and lack of schema as "intentional" features.

It was Google's BigTable paper (2006) and Amazon's Dynamo paper (2007) that led to the "NoSQL revolution" in the late 2000s. The goal was to make it easier to scale a lot of de-normalized data horizontally with the tradeoffs being lack of RDBMS-like querying and schema enforcement.

In hindsight it was bizarre to market a whole category of horizontally scalable data systems based on one of their main negative trade-offs: Lack of SQL querying.

Since then many of these data systems have added SQL-like querying.
The fundamental premise.

>The search warrant, signed by Marion County District Court Magistrate Judge Laura Viar, appears to violate federal law that provides protections against searching and seizing materials from journalists. The law requires law enforcement to subpoena materials instead.

This isn't true. It is legal to search and seize journalists, if the journalist are suspected of committing a crime.

Either the author doesn't know the law, or is being misleading, because the same article also says the local and state cops are investigating the local journalist.

I wouldn't have expectations that you'd be the most productive member of those teams "in a few days", but a few months, sure.

And I would be a horrible hire to lead a team where I’m expected to mentor junior developers on best practices, which packages to use, how best to work with technical debt, etc.

In the real world, I’m interviewing for positions where they are looking for leads at cloud consulting companies who can mentor juniors and that they can put in front of customers for recommendations, estimating statements of work for implementations on AWS and it’s specializing in application development where you are integrating with AWS services. I have lots of experience with most things AWS.

No one should hire me to do the same for either Azure or GCP. Sure I could do the initial discovery, pre-sales, needs analysis, business outcomes, etc. But I wouldn’t have a clue about what services to use and i definitely couldn’t mentor and help troubleshoot implementations on Azure or GCP.

As a studio owner and music shop co-manager, what I would recommend is rather to have an approach of "where is the added value" + "funding model".

"where is the added value" >> For example if you own a recording studio with lots of very high-end equipment, and you ask for bands to sign with your label in exchange for a reduced rate. Or have new technology (for example, I am one of the first studio in the city to have Dolby Atmos). Etc...

"funding model" >> Rather than trying to make money from streaming only, the value of the band is generally in the community it can gather. Community which can be asked for money with Patreon. Or merchandising sold in concerts. Etc...

I installed Explorer Patcher on my non-technical sibling's computer after they upgraded to 11 and discovered the atrocity that's 11's taskbar. The main problem with Explorer Patcher is that it will sometimes completely break after a (forced) Windows update, causing your Desktop/Taskbar/everything to not display after a login. 2-3 times now I've had to remote into the box after having it boot in safe mode with networking, uninstall Explorer Patcher, verify that it was causing the problem, then reinstall the latest version. Rather annoying, but said sibling (understandably) hates the new taskbar.
I don't necessarily disagree, but it depends on your goals as a language designer. I think it's OK to sacrifice a niche feature for improved readability in the common case. Anonymous structs are not as fundamentally useful as e.g. anonymous functions.

> Also assumes the magical splatting of MRVs is a good thing in the first place.

IMHO, G(F()) reads nicer than some variant of G(*F()) or G(F()...). Lua does this too, and is (not unlike Go) considered a simple and elegant language.

> Which assumes this code matters much, outside of errors for which intermediate processors can just take... a tuple of a value and an error.

Then you'll sooner or later find yourself writing a G((a, b)), which again, I think is a net loss to readability.

I think my argument would've been much stronger if Go had had generics in 1.0, and the stdlib/ecosystem wasn't already full of MustParse's and MustCompile's. But in that case we could've had a Result type as well.

It's one thing knowing the language, it's another being productive with the ecosystem.

One takes between a few days and a few months. The other is a few years, unless you get pro training.

I guarantee most people starting with Python from another language will be productive quickly. But they will curse the packaging ecosystem because they will follow a lot of tutorials that don't follow this:

https://bitecode.substack.com/p/why-not-tell-people-to-simpl...

And they'll get screwed.

They will have a hard time learning this:

https://www.bitecode.dev/p/relieving-your-python-packaging-p...

It will take a long time of trials and errors, suffering all the way.

And this is true for many other aspects: good editor config, good web deployment story, good app sharing system, good tooling setup, etc

A runtime or a stlib is quite small and stable. But an ecosystem is gigantic and moving.
LIGO proved there is an aether and density ripples in it change the distance that light travels — as shown by a characteristic oscillation generated by dense objects colliding causing interference between the arms of LIGO.

The reason MM failed to show that light changes speed is because we’re not moving through the aether, but are ourselves aether stuff — and so our own perspective gets equally warped. Since us and the light both change with the relative motion, we can’t see the change.
> Instead of controlling for budgets and delivery dates, control for focus and outcome value. Then you can manage the money as investments in teams delivering outcomes, instead of budgets for projects.

Maybe if you sell to end users. If you have clients with SLAs, requirements etc and legal penalties for missing them, not working to delivery dates isn't going to work. Even in teams with projects, ensuring deadlines are met is still tricky.
>since climatologists are much smarter than the average person

What's the logic behind that? Intelligence doesn't conjure up knowledge out of thin air, doesn't make someone any more knowledgeable about something outside their specialisation than anyone else.
The sunk cost fallacy applies to more situations than just those that may incur additional investments, although that is how it is often explained.

For example, suppose I have two desks that I can work at...

Desk A is a rental that costs me $100 per month and I am locked into that contract for the next year.

Desk B I've had for years and it cost me nothing as it was given to me by a neighbor when they moved into a retirement community.

Both desks happen to be from the same manufacturer and are functionally identical.

Choosing to use Desk A because it cost $1200 more than Desk B is an example of the sunk cost fallacy.

I agree that the author doesn't have all the information, and they're just quoting an executive (Kacher). And it's completely possible that Kacher is just making assumptions or excuses about the thought process for the companies pushing RTO.
> As someone with experience, are you actually applying for jobs where you would just be pulling stories off the board doing “feature work”?

I dislike the whole Agile stories/points/sprints thing, so probably not those jobs. But if you're asking if I'm applying to jobs where I write code, then yep! I love writing code and building things.

> And let’s take your example. What’s the chance of me being productively able to create a feature in a Typescript/React app seeing that I haven’t done front end work since 2015 and even then it was server side rendering with ASP.Net MVC and bootstrap.

I don't know what other experience you have, but probably. At my previous job, I got a bunch of silicon production test engineers, that spend most of their day writing VBA, "productive" in React within a week.

I setup the base of the application and sorted out the routing, state management and abstractions for dealing with our data. But they were writing views and features after a week pretty well. I had to point out some performance issues in code reviews but that was mainly it.

I use ObjC as a thin layer to talk to macOS/iOS frameworks with the rest of the code being mostly C and some C++. Swift would not only be complete overkill for that but also a lot more hassle with build system integration (don't even know if cmake supports mixed C/C++/Swift projects out of the box)
Poor executives! If only there had been some way to know employees would be unhappy about it /s

On another note, I found this note curious - this would imply that offices should be 70-80% full not half full. May be a bias in their survey data! “59% of full-time employees are back to being 100% on-site, while 29% are in a hybrid arrangement and 12% are completely remote, according to new data from WFH Research. Offices are still only half full compared to their pre-pandemic occupancy.“

not for less than the cost of a new board. not at scale.

a small shop can do it if they grow slowly. a component-level repair shop run by Microsoft which did not swap parts, but repaired them, can not scale quickly. there just isn't that much talent available to do this, and even when there is, it would be tight, economically.

it costs Microsoft less to build a main board than the price they sell it for. the hourly time of the repair person multiplied by the time to diagnose, repair, test, document, and clean a main board would quickly go beyond what a new one costs Microsoft.

component-level repair just is not feasible at scale.

should they make schematics available anyway? yes.

I'm not crazy about travel, that is true. But I'd concede it might be worth it if the offsite or conference provided exceptional value. I my experience, they don't. Never had an offsite meeting where the actual information being communicated could not have just been in an email. The social component of it is something I'd rather manage for myself on my schedule and with people of my choosing. Work relationships should be professional and collegial, I don't need or want to be in an egg race or play charades or go hiking or do some other stupid "team building activity" with Betty from accounting.
Wow - I’ve been thinking very closely to what you describe here, but never completely pieced it together until I read “No projects”. You’re completely right. I find that often process is used as an excuse to ignore outcome ownership - even if things didn’t work out, well at least we can say we did things by the book. No one is at fault, and no one needs to learn from it.
Things this article fails to address:

1) That AML creates a massive honeypot of data for hackers, housed at institutions which historically have structural challenges with technology investment

2) The real, material downsides felt by non-criminals, as expressed by many others in this thread

3) That the sum total financial activity of criminals who would benefit from the lack of AML is likely a rounding error compared to money laundering carried out by banks like HSBC

4) The philosophical position that governments are entitled to dragnet surveil law-abiding citizens in order to combat crime
