I try and find books that are not popular, since if you want to Think Different, you have to read what others are NOT reading, so you have an advantage over your competition who are all indoctrinated by the latest trend or groupthink. Old dusty libraries & bookshops with obscure literature are my favorite for procuring these items.
Huh? Not sure if I'm misunderstanding but I'm on Arch and I've been running my 6750XT with SD since like February. Got SDXL running a few months ago and have played with oobabooga a bit. Also compiled whisper.cpp with HIPblas the other day.

I also play a few dozen hours of games a month, some new, some old, some AAA, some indie. All through Steam's Proton with no driver issues whatsoever.

Where you could live stream with someone with the explicit idea of having them spend X (2-5 min) time trying your thing, taking instruction, providing feedback, whatever for that allotted time. For every slot you receive, you also must give back time to someone else. Why? Because it's hard as hell getting any kind of organic eyeballs on a thing if you have zero following.

Does such a thing exist? Would others find this useful?
Unless civilization is destroyed after a nuclear war, solar event, something else. Knowledge could be lost in a handful of generations. Maybe a global pandemic makes everyone have constant debilitating brain fog and everything just stops working. I think the right actor in the right place could make these things (except the solar thing) happen.

Although a good point to consider is that we have lost the vast majority of information about the past, so it's not like the old way of writing stone tablets or whatever is necessarily good.
There's also something to be said for women that read a lot of romance novels or fanfics and have warped "love maps". Probably not a big % of the population, but it changes the psychological waters of relationships with them.
I've heard taxation is theft, taxation is rape is definitely a new one.

Realistically, if I were forced into that I would kill
my husband or myself. I would rather be in jail or dead than be subjected to institutionalized human trafficking and domestic slavery. That's the difference. You're trying to draw an equivalence between a mountain and mole hill in magnitude by saying that what they have in common is that they're backed by the force
of law.
Watching my running time get lower was probably 25% of the fun for me. Knowing the measurement and having a concrete goal, and surpassing it, is a joyous process.

To be clear, it wasn't much about beating other people except where I knew I was within reach of beating them. The ultimate goal was continuously getting my personal best.
I'm similar and have been struggling with this for a while. I ran a lot when I was younger and competed, recently got back into it and ran a marathon "properly", it went well but I got a bit fixated on the time and the whole experience was kinda stressful tbh.

I can't seem to just enjoy activities for what they are in the moment. I quickly start setting goals and being competitive. I'm also into bouldering, been doing that years but when I go to the gym I often find myself competing with others in my head (perhaps sub-consciously seeing them as a threat), I do my best not to show it but it's quite frustrating.
I have a whole library of text snippets around various business needs or just some links / addresses I have to send often.

I think most people have an incomplete understanding of what a product manager should do. It's bigger than "project management" or "project management + defining a roadmap + talking to customers."

What you are building, why, how you price it, how you speak to the market about it, how you position yourself in your category, how you partner with others to provide a better solution (either services companies to provide a turn-key solution or other software companies), how should you should allocate your engineering resources to best increase revenue, etc. And these questions touch almost every department in the company, so they have to be great communicators.

Just a few areas I routinely see bad PM's skip:

- Sales / Partner Enablement (awesome, you built something, but it doesn't matter if the field does't understand it or can explain it and its value)

- Market research / segmentation (are you building the right stuff for what you are targeting?)

- Creating new products / SKUs for opportunities within your existing target market/segments (growth)

- Identifying new/adjacent categories to develop products for (growth)

- Balancing building for today's customers vs building to get new customers

- Pricing/packaging (I'm not talking about physical product packaging)

- Build / buy / partner analysis

The Pragmatic Management Framework is a nice framework really shows the breadth of what a PM should be doing:

AFAIK, the EU has made open access publication of ERC-funded work mandatory. Maybe the authors haven't gotten around to put the manuscript on the arXiv yet.
I don't disagree with your point, but still: there was plenty of pressure on the men, too, and "many men got stuck in unhappy marriages, but that was life".

Also, early pressure to marry "the best bachelor" often meant "the guy on the football team", "the guy that peaked in high school" (you just didn't know it yet).

Often they were the ones who became the angry alcoholics.
It might just have been the name his parents gave him. In such cases it would just be an aspirational name such as Chastity, or one meant to draw the favor of a particular god such as Jesus or Christian.

It does not matter that much, relatively speaking. People include 1MB font libraries in their site without a care in the world, and force 1-2MB PNGs and JPEGs down the wire without caring. A few extra bytes in jQuery is nothing compared to that.
its not quite the same, I explain why in the comments below this one. :)
You might not need a dedicated product manager at all companies, but someone needs to embrace and act as it. In some situations I have gladly taken that role, in other not.
> Barter economy certainly existed

What is the best evidence for this historically? Anthropologists strongly dispute this idea, and believe barter was mostly used for trade between total strangers (e.g. traders from outside your society or "economy")

Very excited to see more Korean centric language learning apps. Also glad to see that you support Fire Fox already. So many apps say that fire fox support is “coming soon”
Procuring raw materials is a different kind of effort. The chunks of aqueduct still standing in Italy are there because they were accidentally over engineered to outlive five empires instead of one.

It takes more finesse to build a bridge out of half as much rock. And not necessarily half as much effort. In fact arches require you to build a temporary building, then the real building, then demolish the temporary building. Today we call it scaffolding.
I don't disagree distance is a cool metric and carries many other benefits. I'm just drawing a parallel for parent poster.

One of the other side benefits of training for speed is that there is just no feeling like finding yourself getting faster with less and less effort. My favorite runners highs have come from taking on a hill that used to be hard, and running it both faster and with less perceived effort than previously.

I'm not an expert in this so maybe am just off base.

But the key difference (I have been told) is what you can do with that accounting.

Like, I can walk into a shop and buy anything on the wall with money, whereas that kind of accounting may have very different implications for what you can do with it.

Additionally, I can take money that I gathered from one source and use it somewhere else, and it's fungible in that I can use it anywhere else in the system. If I have a debt to one person in earlier systems that debt may be non-transferable.

If those two elements are true, it becomes very difficult to do a lot of the things that we think of as money, specifically interest and massive accumulation.
Turns out, that capitalist enterprises that rely on connecting people sexually over subscriptions over mate match have a ficudiary reason to keep from long relationships from forming.

A long relationship is a cancelled subscription. So they would inevitably search to find hot flings that do not work out in the medium or long term.

To do otherwise would be to limit the pool of people who pay.

Yet another strike against capitalism - it's not about solutions, but rent seeking behaviors.
Sinatra, flask, or Laravel. Something that gives me a direct control over routes and allows me to opt-in to magic when I want or need it. Dynamic language.

Depending on the frontend need, I might go with straight server rendering static pages. So often the big stack of rendering contexts and HOCs and blah blah blah just gets in the way. Rendering a view shouldn’t be difficult, and progressive enhancement is easier starting from strict HTML + well structured CSS.

I love React, I’d be happy to try Svelte… my fear in not doing that would be “when we eventually need it, it’s difficult to opt in progressively” (which is terrible).

There's plenty of gold, or at least there was, in the south west of Britain back in the day. I'd assume pre Roman gold was all surface level stuff, but there were stories of way more industrial processing of silver by the Romans in Spain.

capitalism, as a system defined by profit-driven markets and private ownership, is a relatively modern concept and not the default economic state throughout human history. earlier societies often operated on principles of reciprocity and communal sharing rather than for-profit trade. while the inclination to trade can be considered inherent, the forms and rules of trade have varied greatly across cultures and eras, shaped by differing social and political contexts.

I watch all of these and I wounded what is truly going to happen. These companies know that legislators are always decade+ behind on regulation and playing catchup. So even if they say Google is a monopoly which is harder to prove than just saying oh you’ve got the most searches and higher market share, that’s success not necessarily a monopoly.

Was going to say much the same thing.

1. Don't hire product managers because they won't be great people.

2. Instead, hire great people, but not one of them, a whole team of them!

Ok....
I'm sorry but that's just pining for a past that never happened. In the 20th century some 100 million people died from famine. Starved to death. We're down to 200,000 deaths from hunger per year, compared to an average of maybe 2M/year up to the 1960s, while the global population tripled.

Did some people eat well, some of the time in the 1900s? Absolutely. But ending hunger is maybe the greatest conquest of our time and it's barely recognised. That's exactly the sort of expectation gap I was referring to in my original comment.

Even today there are people who have little skepticism and take mysticism seriously, it is likely that any evidence against this person did not survive the times.
IMO, PM as a “job” is a mistake. As a role that some domain expert can take in a project I believe it works to let others focus, but it only adds value is the person is really good, a bad PM will add negative value by adding another hop in the communication.

Fair enough! Yeah, they are kind of the loudest normal thing I experience; but beyond the sheer volume, it's the nature of the sound.

Well, considering that we have human ancestors going back hundreds of millenia, I feel like we actually know very little about them.

Often I get the feeling that the culture I live in makes so many assumptions about other people that we misunderstand even folks who are living now, so people I think we have a very hard time understanding the folks who were living 50k years ago who were every bit as smart, kind, and funny as we are now.
In fact I did look some more at their stuff, thx.

In the traditional rack-and-stack, if a power supply fan dies, the power supply will shut down -- which is why a server has two of them. (And indeed, in commodity servers, the fan in the power supply is what is most likely to fail.) All of this becomes a bit of a self-fulfilling prophesy: because there are so damned many of them, the power supplies in rack-and-stack servers are really not great -- which means they are more likely to fail. This is all sidestepped by having conversion consolidated in the rack, running high voltage (54V) DC up and down the busbar that is converted by each sled. (That converter throws off heat -- but can then leverage the high quality fans in the sled.)
See also the hedonic treadmill. Anyone who has gone on a sugar fast finds out that most sodas are too sweet to tolerate. We have to acclimate to such calorie dense food. Which should be a sign we’re doing it wrong.
The book is a combination of anecdata and speculation presented in a polemical style. Not really something that I would call “phenomenal”.

The reductionist argument is that everyone wants to feel 'good', and that life is solely is about chasing a chemical high from natural dopamines, endorphins, oxy, etc that are produced by the body.

Both males and females want the hottest, wealthiest and most interesting person they can pair up with, regardless of their own attributes.

To state the obvious - people who are ugly, fat, poor and boring (as in way below average) have it rough, as they may not be chosen as a long term partner by someone they consider ideal or even acceptable.

For those people, single is better than settling.
In recent experience the PMs I have worked with have primarily concerned themselves with the desires of executives. Literally all the other responsibilities you mentioned were handled by others.
Why do recreational distance runners care about speed so much?

I’m a so-so runner - I can place in AG at local races, but will never be an elite runner. But the challenge of placing, going faster than friends, or faster than previous times, is part of the fun.
Possibly, at least with containers (mine is using containers almost entirely). Cannot say much for other use cases but the package manager in CL always seemed a little scarcer.
Could you elaborate on why Koa and fastify are better? Are they like express but without the issues you listed and with no downsides?
In the same way "software engineer" can encompass a broad spectrum of actual job functions, "product manager" can be a highly catch-all term that varies by product, seniority, company, and even personality.

In some companies, they are essentially project managers who groom the backlog and coordinate releases with support, and (ideally) take a variety of coordination tasks off of engineers plates. At the other extreme, they're pure concept+strategy, and (ideally) provide a clear vision that allows other teams to understand where they are going and allow them to prioritize independently.

There's a few other dimensions I could probably name, but wherever someone sits on these dimensions, it is possible for them to be bad at their job - either because they're a mismatch for the job they have or because they're just not very good.

This isn't unique to PMs, of course - I have worked with a lot of engineers who are bad at their job for the same reasons. And I could s/product manager/software engineer/ in the linked article and recognize a lot of the same negative behaviors and patterns.

I think one of the reasons there are a lot of bad SWEs and PMs is that roles that were once only appealing to people who were genuinely passionate about what they were doing are now considered general purpose desirable careers. When I started working in tech 25+ years ago, most of the people who were entering the software industry found computers and technology deeply interesting, and enjoyed working in the space. When product managers started to appear as a more defined job function, the best PMs were experienced engineers, marketers, etc. who cared about and understood their users, the business problems, and could help drive things forward as the landscape became increasingly complex.

Today, there are a lot of people who enter software engineering and product management who are not particularly interested in the work. It's just a job, it's just pushing bits or paperwork around, and while many of those people are still effective, it can engender the behaviors depicted in the article.

That doesn't mean the role is a mistake, especially since the article depicts the most negative version of product management: "These PMs you hire have no vision, charisma, expertise, strong beliefs, or technical skills."

That's the problem right there - the role of a product manager is fundamentally about driving clarity. That clarity could come in the form of better requirements, customer understanding, a strategic focus, and yes, even things like metrics and goals (if they are clarifying!). If a product manager is not providing clarity, they are bad at their job. If an engineering team knows with exact clarity what they should be prioritizing all the time, they don't need a PM.
I switched over to Common Lisp, so I don't really have any personal recommendations for Scheme, but this site was useful for learning CL and it also has a section on Scheme: https://www.linuxlinks.com/excellent-free-books-learn-scheme...
So the current definition is:

> The meter (m) is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the speed of light in vacuum c to be 299,792,458 when expressed in the unit m s−1, where the second is defined in terms of ∆νCs.[0]

Your proposed change is keeping this the exact same but changing 299,792,458 to 300,000,000?

You said: “I wish it had been defined in relation to the speed of light in a vacuum.”

I believe it is already, as written above.

If men needs 10 times as much time spent on a dating app to find a partner then you would see 10 men for every woman on it, even if the same number of women and men are looking for a partner.

And looking at how much harder it is for men to find a match 10 times as much time to find a partner for men seems reasonable.
When you're fresh out of high school and the push is to make a rush for the best bachelor or the cream of the crop in your small town, oftentimes you'd end up with the guy "who peaked in high school", because you only had high school to really go off of. The worst part is those guys were considered the best bachelors, and the "peaked in high school" bit wasn't discovered until later/too late.

People praise professionals who give a shit but nobody seems to value them. When you care, it is soul destroying to watch people who don't give the slightest shit make metric fucking tons more money than you. It's sociopathic and it's extremely common.

When I was a teenager I actually quit professional programming as a career because I felt that I would be miserable in this field. I felt that way because every single developer I met at the time simply did not give a shit about stuff, they just wanted their paycheck at the end of the month. Well I wanted to give a shit and so I turned it into my hobby.

It's not without its problems, of course. Giving too much of a shit turns you into an obsessive perfectionist which can be paralyzing. Can spend days thinking about the best way to do something instead of just doing it. Thankfully I have no deadlines.
