While interesting, I would note that the knowledge component of proper terminology and venn diagram usage is lacking.

Ex: Mandate-only. Diagram shows overlap in other regions. If it where mandate only, excluding the other regions the intersection should be zero.

"This is a monkey with a gun scenario where one (usually the manager) calls the shots without a good level of understanding the system or being held responsible for the consequences: on-call, alerting, debugging, rearchitecting, etc."

Clearly implies he means Mandate without intersection in other regions.

I really wish nerds would stop supporting Apple hardware and software. It is so closed and everything is a giant pain. Its one thing for the average non-techie that does not want to do anything advanced and just wants to swallow the blue pill. But for an actual techie to support a system that is the antithesis of general purpose compute...Can you even be considered a true techie anymore? I just don't get it.
the 'cool' thing

What do you mean by "trans content"?

If it's trans people talking about their transition, it seems to be an interest category that would only be offered by TikTok if you're actively interesting in it and engaging with that type of content.

If you mean "generic content made by people who just happen to be trans", that's pretty normal. In the real world you also can't go around asking a street performer to get out of your face because they happen to be trans.

The same with content creators making funny videos and showing a rainbow flag. Why would that be filtered out?

Yes, heat pumps are more efficient. But they require lots more infrastructure.

Not only is that going to be expensive and thus impopular. It will also be a delayed transition, and use up an incredible amount of resources.

Not that we should do this instead of heat-pumps. We can do both. Heat-pumps in new houses and if possible when replacing old furnaces.

For all the existing stuff, this could be a great stop-gap.
With almost "everyone" (read: middle class ++) getting solar panels these days, I seriously doubt that we'll be seeing this much. I suspect it's just a gimmick, playing on our reputation for high crime.

I think it's more that there are multiple spectrums here and a lot more than two buckets to put people in.

Sure there are very passionate people who enjoy programming so much that they wish to do so far outside the standard workday.

Some of those people are also very highly skilled, experienced and organized.

There are also people who work a standard day, push Jira tickets around, and try to blend into the organization and hope nobody really questions how much they personally get done.

There are also plenty who have good work/life balance and are also skilled, experienced, good problem solvers, good communicators, and very valuable to have on your team. They might have some measurable productivity loss compared to your ideal, but probably not by 2x or 10x.

I have also run into several of the ultra-focused passionate folks who will stay up all night hacking at a problem to make it work, who produce prolific line-counts of code, and fall very much into your camp of 10k line indecipherable PRs that are definitely not going to be maintainable long term in a team or organization.

You can try to correlate some of these factors together, but it's perhaps not as simple as your original comment presented.
i have absolutely owned bikes, cars, etc. that were intentionally crappy to avoid attracting attention in the city. this is incredibly common
Funny, I heard the total opposite about Nissan Leafs. The industry was guesstimating that batteries would last 8-10 years. The first Nissan Leafs (which was about the first commercially mass-available EV) had battery lives where something like 90% were still going strong and still 80% of original capacity left after 13 years.

Rather than the Leaf being problematic, it was the car that showed the market that worrying about the lifespan of EV batteries wasn't really necessary.
Summary:

Concurrency has a lot to do with sharing one resource, and Python has dedicated tools to deal with that depending on the resource you must share.

If you have to share one CPU while waiting on the network, then the specialized tools for this are asyncio, twisted, trio, gevent, etc.

Asyncio is the current standard to do this, but tornado, gevent and twisted solved this problem more than a decade ago. While trio and curio are showing us what the future could look like.

But chances are, you should use none of them.
Wouldn't the amateur have a shiny, new-looking camera? If I see someone with the knurling worn off their focus rings I am going to assume they are professionals.
I wonder if support for OpenGL, Vulkan, etc will improve now that Apple is partnering with nVidia, Adobe, Autodesk, Microsoft, etc around the OpenUSD rendering/animation/CAD/3D-scene format?

Considering the whole schtick of OpenUSD is "one file format that renders consistently everywhere" (paraphrasing), I would be surprised if Apple doesn't use it as a means to cement more 3D software vendors into macOS land. It's really hard to render consistently if the underlying drivers are all wonk and proprietary.

I am curious to see how this plays out. In my mind, there are two options:

1. Apple conforms to the existing standards of OpenGL and Vulkan we see gaining steam for many film and game production pipelines.

2. Apple tries to throw its weight around and force devs to support their Metal standards even more, ultimately hoping to force the world onto Metal + macOS.

My heart hopes for option 1, but my gut tells me Apple is going to push for option 2 with all the might it can muster. In my experience, Apple doesn't like any standards it doesn't control with an iron fist (not really saying much about Apple here though... nVidia, Autodesk, Adobe, and Microsoft are all the same).

The next couple of years are going to be interesting for sure!
You're probably correct but this was more fun
This is interesting! Instead of thinking of people as being fixed in one of these archetypes, though, I think it's useful to think of a team as orbiting True Ownership -- with everyone needing to be nudged slightly differently.

I also might suggest alternates for some of the labels. Specifically:

- I would label "Knowledge without responsibility or mandate" (currently labeled as "Coma") as "Critic": folks who know (or think they know) but don't have the mandate and aren't taking the responsibility are on the sidelines explaining why those that do have the responsibility and/or mandate are Doing It Wrong. This archetype can be really annoying on a team -- but their lack of responsibility + mandate makes them less harmful than other archetypes. In my experience, they need to be driven to take on more responsibility before they are given mandate.

- I would label "Responsibility without knowledge and mandate" (currently labeled as "Babysitter") as "Worrier". This one can be helpful, but it can also result in tons of makework for those with mandate and knowledge. This is not an uncommon pathology in nice people: they know that they don't have the knowledge, so they don't seize the mandate. This one needs to be guided to knowledge first, and then mandate.

- I would label "Knowledge and mandate without responsibility" (currently labeled as "Teenager") as "Technical Debtor": their lack of responsibility (often indicated, BTW, by a lack of long stints in their career) coupled with their knowledge and mandate makes them REALLY dangerous. Specifically, people that never live with the long-term consequences of their decisions can be blissfully unaware of the wreckage that they leave behind them. These folks can be hard to steer -- and the ones that are really bad will resist it to the point that they would rather move to their next gig than take true responsibility.

That said, I love the other three labels -- and my career has been fortunately blessed with few firearm-bearing monkeys...
For years I was the one who went above and beyond. I thought of brand new ideas, approaches, and wrote so much code some weeks would just fly by.

You know what happened?

1. I got even more work. So much more that I no longer had the freedom to explore and think.

2. The carrot on the stick would be re-attached to a longer stick. It was never enough. I was performing "exceptionally" but my yearly review would never move me closer to my goal.

3. I would end up getting tied down in a bunch of stuff from (1) that ended up leading to burnout because I was no longer working in a place where I felt useful and needed.

4. I still got laid off.

Now, I just go to work and come home. I am pissed I even have to do pagerduty because 9/10 times the problem is someone wasn't given enough time, creating a bug, which was then subsequently never addressed because aGiLe methodology says you only move forward.

"High power" CEOs and PMP-certified project morons are the reason why people's care for your product ends with their paycheck. No amount of "demo days", "email updates", or metrics will fix it. I, and everyone who is like me, will game your metrics until they stop being useful. It's not malicious. It's an optimization. If you want me to do exactly what your metrics ask I will. Nothing more, nothing less. You pay me for 80 hours a check, you get 80 hours. Nothing more, nothing less. If you don't want me to think I won't. Afterall, I'd rather save my brain cycles for things I enjoy. You're paying me to squander my talent. That's YOUR problem. Not mine.

The key to battery life/health on the XPS is to use the BIOS functions to limit charging. My XPS-13 9370 has been plugged in most of its life (about 4 years now) and battery health has dropped from 96% to 93%.

I can't speak to the rest of the comparison to the Macs - they're probably better overall - but the battery life is a solved problem if you know to limit charging.

Actually you are the victim: you are a victim of the bank/lender/etc and they should be liable to compensate you with punitive damages for your any negative consequences to you.

If the bank or lender considers this unfair, let them try to recoup the cost of compensating you by suing the alleged fraudster who they claim "stole your identity" — but not before they compensate you first.
Now you're making a statement of statistics though. Not about definitions. And this I agree with. But saying it as a blanket statement is too much for my taste.

I know it's popular to hate on credit bureaus. And I totally agree they've been horrible stewards of personal data, and they have some messed up incentives (e.g. pushing all their "credit monitoring" products - it's like making money off the problem you created), and I think there is a fair debate whether they should be public entities.

Still, people rarely consider the very valuable service they provide: without them, credit would be much more expensive in this country, or not offered at all. Want to see what a world without credit bureaus looks like? Go to a 3rd world country where everything is paid for in cash. This is not a good thing - it doesn't mean that everyone in these 3rd world countries are great savers while those in the first world live beyond their means. In means these 3rd world countries don't have institutions that can help to ensure trust between lenders and borrowers. As distasteful as it may feel sometimes, credit bureaus help ensure that trust by giving histories of the likelihood of someone's ability to repay a loan.

Again, to emphasize, this is not to say there are myriad problems with the way credit bureaus are currently run. It is saying the the primary service they provide (credit histories for individuals) is a good thing for society.

I don't know if it's in System Preferences, but for me, System Information shows my mid-2015 MBP (running macOS 10.14.6 Mojave) still has a battery capacity of 8266mAh and a remaining charge of 8079mAh at 100%. Compared to the advertised capacity at launch of 8755mAh, that's a charge capacity of ~92% after ~five years (AppleCare replaced my battery during their recall). MacBooks are just built different.

The criminal made a false request for credit report.
TU released the credit history without confirming ID.
The bank relied on that credit report to extend credit.

The problem is, as a whole, ruining the credit of a few thousand people/year (and making them jump through hoops to regain their ID) is less costly than clamping down. TU absolutely contributes to the problem; they just have no incentive to fix it.
That's a naïve view of intelligence, uninformed by the academic consensuses in philosophy, economics, biology, psychology etc. Additional intelligence, for any agent, is simply additional ability to reason about the world in relation to the agent's preferences.

No, your point was on using propane gas to produce electricity for heating. If your consider/complicate the equation with other energy sources (coal, wind, ...) the outcome is more random.

Heat pumps do not make sense unless the energy transition into the equation (wind and solar indeed). But also then, there are major shortcomings with wind/solar currently not yet fixed. For example, my home produces appr. 12 MWh solar energy per year and the heat pumps use a similar amount. Nice balance, but too bad the is a gap of six months between the two.
A little trick that has made my life extremely simple is that I've set my ringtone to none. No vibration, no sound.

Then I've manually assigned ringtones to only 10 contacts who are really important to me.

So now my phone hardly ever disturbs or annoys me on anyone around me. Because the people without the ringtone can always wait.

P.s. also found a wonderful app called ringtone keeper that allows you to backup/restore this. It's discontinued now but I managed to save its apk.

It's funny to me that you talk about pragmatism and efficiency, but you ultimately make a moral and emotive argument that we should fix ourselves before we go anywhere else.

My question to you is simply why do we need to fix ourselves first? Seems illogical and unlikely.

I've wondered if the ideal place for battery storage would be substations. They usually have free space where could put some containers full of batteries. It would scale better than each house having their own. It can serve a whole neighborhood, and provide power if the grid goes down. The only thing that can't help with is when local distribution goes down.
You are right in every word but I keep having an opinion that this is because of not-fixed order. I am not out of examples, imagine describing something to the some person in singular second person for (regular discussion with anyone) and in plural second person form (discussion with somebody having higher status or age).

It is very uncomfortable to have an extra sillable which encodes plurality in EVERY verb (except of infinitives, of course). Посмотрите когда сможете, уже посмотрели? The last Russian word in sentence has an ambiguity - it means both a state when the companion looked at something alone and a state when we both looked at something. That's why I hate to discuss anything in such a "respectful" style.

I can see that maybe I was violently agreeing with the second part as I can't know why the parent comment was saying realizing the invention is hard. But I think my quibble with the first part stands. I'm not convinced that this idea was extremely common in 1919, it seems quite visionary to me to have this idea at that time.

EDIT: I also think that the premise of ideas are easy and realization is hard implies that it would be contemporaries having the ideas and doing the realization. Otherwise all we're really saying is that ideas precede realization.
