PBS is "free to air", meaning it can be redistributed verbatim within the US with minimal delay without permission from the parent company.

As a result, they have no incentive or negative incentive to advertise that other stations carry their content.
Yes, they exist but often for men they are a complete waste of time. Unless you’re an exec, wealthy, and generally handsome - most matchmakers will not take you up. It is simply because they know you will not be able to match with any women they provide or find in the wild. They don’t want to get bad reviews and so they only take clients that they are confident they could match.

It is somewhat ironic since people they are confident they could match are the people who need a matchmaker least of all.

I mean, it doesn't seem more spectacularly polemic to me than "Social pressure to commit to monogamous relationships is the only possible solution to this".
> I get so annoyed when I hear people say things like “I like dogs more than humans.”

Perhaps focusing on dogs awesome qualities may help you not getting annoyed. You seems to value a lot complex systems, imagination and willpower and yeah some humans are great at that. Most dogs beat us flat on group cohesion, kindness and perseverance. People value that, too.
It’s absolutely not more satisfying. This is not shared across people like some sort of natural way of being. There are plenty of things I can learn how to make but can’t be fucked because I’ll never find satisfaction in doing so. Cooking is a great one, I can cook quite well but I still hate doing it. Just because I can make something well, it doesn’t give me any extra satisfaction. I’d still rather buy a good spaghetti than make and I surely enjoy one I didn’t cook more because I didn’t have to do shit.
Just to offer you another perspective: In all of the (B2C) companies in which I have worked as a PM (three, across two different industries), I have been closely involved in shaping and controlling the evolution of the product.

My normal month has always consisted of creating anywhere from four to twelve unique proposals (PRDs) for new features for the company to build, with the number created varying based on the size of the company and the amount of process needed as a result. But regardless, it has always looked like: "Our users currently have X problem, and we should build Y to solve it. Y looks like this...". Yes this comes with some coordination and communication challenges, but those are always in service of figuring out what to build next.

I understand not all PM roles are like this, but I do disagree that PM never gets better than "sorting/filtering/decision maturity theatre". I am curious: if you were simply ordering an existing backlog, who was defining the new items to add to the backlog?
Those employees can totally create a cleanroom implementation, true. That's very difficult in any domain. I could totally create software that does what my employer does, but could I do it without using any of the solutions I specifically created for them? It would be a challenge.
> Most of the economy back then was non-monetary.

In 600 BCE, Lydia's King Alyattes minted what is believed to be the first official currency, the Lydian stater. The coins were made from electrum, a mixture of silver and gold that occurs naturally, and the coins were stamped with pictures that acted as denominations.

But also note that physical currency is not necessary for “money”. Money has been around for about 5000 years, ridding us from barter.
Our bodies believe that sugar is amazing. It's dense energy that is very fast to absorb and use. So they are built around seeking for it and indulge in it.

It worked because things that used to contain sugar were rare and not loaded with it.

Our smart species then went for concentrating the stuff we love so much, and make it easy to get.

And today, it's a problem for us.

It's the same thing with netflix, dating apps, porn, etc.

There is nothing wrong with a little sugar to make your life sweater.

But sugar alone is not going to sustain you. And too much will be very bad for you.

We have have been very good are removing the effort at getting a lot of it. But we are not good are taking just what we should now that we have it. And even worse at getting the rest as well.

Also it turns out the effort of getting it was not awesome, but came with some benefits we have now to artificially put back in our life. And we are not doing so with enthusiasm.
What a bad take.

I do agree with the red-flag symptoms like KPI and other “measurements”, and I’ll go as far as to say it’s extremely difficult to find a great PM and the field is riddled with mediocre ones.

In my several decades of software engineering work, good product managers were almost non-existent.

Today I’m working with one who has a strong competitive streak, is quite smart, and deeply understands our users and competition.

I’ve been making sure to give her stellar feedback during reviews and peer feedback, as I know how rare this combination is.

Edit: Reading through the responses, perhaps I should reconsider. The expectation of the role and responsibilities are misunderstood and misaligned to what businesses and engineering teams actually need.

That is to say, my team PM’s a success despite the role and not because of it.
> They were here for several hundred thousand years so there were only natural forces at work.

Only if you include Native Americans in the "natural" forces. They were responsible for the disappearance of the local megafauna.

> At the very least food availability would have limited their numbers in some way.

Or maybe periodic population collapses due to disease.

> It isn't dissimilar to the situation with bears.

Grizzly bears have one of the slowest reproduction rates, though. They simply won't have cubs if there isn't enough food. In Africa, it's a similar story with elephants, nothing can hunt them consistently, but they reproduce so slowly that they can't really overpopulate the area.
"Cloud HSMs" are allowed by the CA/B rules which wholly negate the benefit for that second issue and bring us back into the situation where anyone who checks code into CI can sign with the key. The CA/B rules are really just concerned with the first issue, right?
I think the first step would be creating a well funded government organization or nonprofit with a broad mandate to solve the problems of community, relationships, and the birth rate in the 21st century. Make it a proper national security issue.

Creating a neutral dating app with proper moderation (against harassment and fake/spam accounts) and without the profit incentive would be a great entry point for that organization to study relationships in general.
> a good teenager might run a time of 10.70

Considering that 10.71 seconds is the all time Scottish national under-17 male record, I would say 10.70 would be a very good time. A one-in-a-million level of sprinting ability.
> AI Waifus are about to solve that problem, and women are going to be the most negatively impacted.

No, AI waifus are going to mostly impact incels meeting the strict etymology of the term, which, who knows, might make them somewhat less socially dangerous if not any less socially maladjusted.

Sure, other people might toy with them, but no one who was having any success in the dating world is going to be taken out of it by them.

> Expect attempts to regulate out this industry led by mostly women’s groups.

Literally no one cares that the worst and least desirable men are going to entertain themselves with yet another form of fantasy of having a girlfriend, and other than where it involves using imagery of real people in a way that intersects with the kind of behavior addressed by revenge porn laws or otherwise involves material prohibited for reasons unrelated to the specific use in AI companions (simulated CSAM, for instance), I wouldn't expect any eftorts to regulate it on its own.
I've seen some work on this as well. It would make sense in small tight knit communities to help out your neighbor when you could and vice-versa. There would be a relatively small need for coinage until things became a lot more complex and urbanized.
>You don't choose to be hurt and you don't choose the consequences of being hurt.

Only the first part is true. We don't get to choose our emotional responses, but we absolutely can determine how we react to all manner of discomforts and challenges. For instance, you can discover and put in the work of practicing healthy and sustainable coping mechanisms for the inevitable fear, rejection, and hurt you will feel in life when other people treat you in ways that don't suit you. You can also choose to put in work towards changing your outlook and core beliefs, so you are much more resilient to being hurt by the words and actions of other people. Emotional resilience is a skill (but it is not at all the same as being emotionally repressed, which is a maladaptive defense mechanism).

Being physically or emotionally hurt is not the same as being harmed. People can be punched in the face and yet recover with grace and equanimity. Indeed, even if that graceful recovery involves running the fuck away from a pointless fight. This isn't easy stuff, but it is possible.
By that logic, men should be getting happier if now they don’t need to do either the breadwinning or the child raising?

I don’t think biology is deterministic, but it is a factor, for both sexes. (Note that surveys show little to no difference between men and women when it comes to the question of whether they want children and how many.) My suggestion is instead that we have a market failure. People have choices, but not necessarily the ones that will make them happy. The solution to market failure is, of course, regulation of the market, but western individualists don’t want to hear that.
Same here, the system has been in place for ages and hasn't failed. Last I check it was fully funded until 2060 or so.

During the IMF "bailout" pensions were reduced nominally. This was a political choice, and the party that did that will never win an election again as long as all those pensioners live.
It doesn’t matter. Go. See. A. Doctor.
Yep. A great PM is an amazing force multiplier. A bad PM drags the whole org down.

> Imo, having "on call" rotations is a clear red flag and bad software practice that has somehow made it in the mainstream.

I thought so too until I gigged for a SaaS company that absolutely needed it. No, it was not moon-shot rocket control software, but it was a money printer with literally thousands of clients around the globe paying six figures for the service. The on-call SWE duty was not onerous: about 2 hour shifts every 2 months, and your job was to attempt to handle it and then escalate it to staff if you couldn't. There were so many CI tests on the way to production that nothing ever happened, until it did, and then you needed to make sure that money printer go brrr.
For NixOS, it's in the 'how did we reproduce' section of the article: the last step of that process produces the iso in the ./result/iso directory.

It sounds like what you're looking for is the commands that that build invoked, but I'm not sure what step you're looking for. For example, the xorriso invocations are at https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/lib/make-...
I think you're missing the fact that Native Americans were here in number for thousands of year before Europeans. The herds were a result of North America before the Columbian exchange. Not a result of a pristine wilderness with only "natural forces at work"
Who would you defend in not you children and wives?
Right, "at most" they are acting as Maxwell's demon. Useless.
Confusing article. “We should get rid of the PM role” but also “We still need people dedicated to do PM things… but don’t call them PMs, they’re just everyday great people.” I feel like the author had a bad experience working with a PM (the MBA comment is telling) and now wants to throw the baby out with the bath water. Business scale creates + requires role specialization. Sure, there are shitty PMs, and it’s a hard job, but I’d be super disappointed to lose my team’s PM.

It’s an approach I really enjoy. Back in the day express referred to itself as a sinatra-style library (ruby).

It also seems like the modern .NET Core Http request pipeline and minimal API are inspired by express.
The Sun is an almost perfect black body emitter. Outside of our atmosphere, it's perfectly so, and the atmospheric distortion is imperceptible.

Any reasonable representation of its color would classify the Sun as white, except when comparing it to other stars, where the small differences matter a lot.

Indeed, quite frightening at times seeing the value of firms using Dyalog APL.
> Would they not be allowed to use their expertise to develop and like system without violating the existing patent?

Maybe, but that's kinda the point of this lawsuit. As Apple implemented it, they did violate portions of the patent. Not every part of their claim was considered a violation, but some of it certainly was:

> As a result, the Commission finds that Apple has violated section 337 as to claims 22 and 28 of the ’502 patent and claims 12, 24, and 30 of the ’648 patent.

Yeah, my 32TB Plex library that I can stream native blu-ray quality in my home is gonna win out every time. When I travel I just take my AppleTV and VPN back to watch / download literally any piece of media I want.

On a related note, I've also been building an offline cache of the internet, basically any web resources that I bookmark (blog / youtube / a few others) will automatically get indexed and stored locally.
The "problem" with dc jacks is you have to know what voltage something needs, maybe years after your or someone else built it. With usb-c you might have to remember that it needs a power supply with 15V support, but it won't let out the magic smoke if you chose the wrong one.

Although Soviet-era books were notoriously terse & difficult to digest, they had some very aesthetic typesetting. I have owned a few (Problems in Physics by Irodov, & another by Krotov) and they all share similar design aesthetics.
I don't want to touch on what I see as a futile debate about whether people are generally better or worse now.

However I do feel the need to point out that there are currently more slaves in the world than at any other time in history. I don't mean in the idomatic sense of wage slavery or anything. I'm talking about literal slavery - forced labor and ownership of people.

Much of the stuff you buy today probably had a slave involved in its production at some point. Corporations say they can't ban slave labour from their supply chain because it's impossible for them to tell what resources had slaves involved in its production. The slave produced supply and legitimate supply of goods is too mixed to adequately track

Some reading to get started

Also genocide was very prevalent in the 20th century probably more than at any other time
You are comparing apples and oranges.

These interviews are for engineers interviewing at companies which have scale ; not for a 0-1 growth of a product like your google example.

When you're launching products at scale, you absolutely need to design large systems that are durable and can operate at said scale. And when I'm hiring, I need to filter for folks who are able to rationalize at that scale.
These are both outgrowths of where they came from. Desktops came along in the 1970s as (relatively) powerful do-anything machines. Phones came along as simple phone (and later SMS)-only devices that have gradually grown more advanced features.
It’s the first stage. Likely piped. Hence the hex out. The context on how it’s called is key: https://github.com/oriansj/stage0-posix-x86/blob/e86bf7d304b...
By "large scale" I meant something used by, well, a lot of people. More than a university's CS department (or the math or EE department; whichever side had the proto-CS faculty in 1975). Like, V6 was being used across Bell Labs, but I wouldn't call that a large-scale deployment compared to MTS, let alone DTSS. When V6 was ported to IBM mainframes by Eric Schmidt and others, that didn't result in Unix being made available to any Princeton student who wanted an account. Nor did the Interdata port result in a campuswide Unix system for all Wollongong students. In both cases, had a random student wanted a computer account and was eligible for one, he would have received something on a batch system.
People's needs and wishes are different. See, I had the exact same thing as you. I chose a nice and comfy flat for me and my family.
> Apple's Friday lawsuit said Mountain View, California-based Rivos has hired over 40 of its former employees in the past year to work on competing "system-on-chip" (SoC) technology, and that at least two former Apple engineers took gigabytes of confidential information with them to Rivos.

Well you can't go around taking your employer's data with you.
Good things to watch out for, but also watch out for project or program running the show. For example, project sees it as a piece of work to churn, and program is trying to execute a multitude of projects.

Someone has got to care about the user and the business.

It can be much worse with a project manager who doesnt care about the user, doesnt care about the business and is just trying to complete tasks per sprint without any focus. It is even worse when the project or program manager has no technical background and doesnt understand what it takes to build something.

In each role, product, project, program, and all the other lead roles (technical), it takes people who really care.
*Citations very much needed to pretty much everything you just said.
I’ve seen it on a laser printer manual.
Are they really that smart if they’re ignoring those things? Talking to users has always been on my list of things required for engineers.

A decade+ of low-interest-rate fueled growth in the tech sector has meant a lot of us have succeeded just by showing up.
This is why we need unions. That way Apple wouldn't have been able to hire away those 20 people.
Sounds a lot more like a project or program manager than a product manager.
> I agree with you that many guys today struggle with dating because they haven't done the necessary work to be good partners, but the problem isn't that "contemporary life doesn't encourage self-improvement". The "problem", if you even want to call it that, is that women prefer being single over a bad relationship with a crummy guy. For the first time in history, women have the economic independence to walk away from a bad deal, and guys have up their game as a consequence.

---

What if there actually are plenty of men who have 'stepped their game up' and are perfectly qualified peers to women and would make suitable partners, but the women just have wildly unrealistic expectations?

Or the women just aren't that interested in men in general?

Could those be factors, rather than men just being so beneath women?
I mean, yes, and I use that, but sometimes, a phrase is more punchy.

That's why you get a timestamp countersignature; that's what the person you're replying to is talking about. They are absolutely correct. This is standard practice. Signed executables on Windows DO NOT lose trust when the certificate expires as long as they are cryptographically timestamped.

My first code signing certificate from long ago is already expired; the signed executables under that certificate are still trusted by Windows.
Someone's gotta own the roadmap and prioritize the work queue, be it at a project level or updating the Microsoft project plan or the sprint. There's always a multitude of stakeholders. Devs, sales, marketing, ops, all have needs and idea. Someone must be the arbiter.

I operate as principle on a project, and I have opinions, but I cannot set the roadmap alone

One of the most useful things you can do in debate is reveal yourself to be immune to evidence of anything you don't like. It is useful because it allows rational participants to stop wasting time with you.
Denver, Colorado maintains two bison herds descended from the last wild North American bison. There were as few as 18 bison left in Colorado at the beginning of the 1900s. Thankfully, the conservation project has been a success and Denver has been transferring bison to Native American tribes to start additional herds. The herds are just about 30 minutes from downtown if you ever visit.
