500k on 100k income? The rule of thumb for banks in Denmark is to take your yearly income (before tax) and multiply it by four, and that’s what you’re allowed to borrow. So your friend is over-indebted by Danish standards.

As a foreigner, banks would’ve been very reticent about giving him a bank loan, and he would’ve had to down-pay at least 20% of his mortgage.

In other words: I find your friend’s case extremely unlikely and probably made up.

FYI: most people’s expenses go _down_ by buying in Denmark. The interest rates are stupidly low, in some cases even negative, you can pause principal reimbursement for 10 years, and your tax rate goes down.

> Good tech leaders generally don’t command: they inspire.

Ding ding ding! You win the prize.

The way I always put this to people is that "if dictating worked, there'd be a lot more dictators in the world."

> Good tech leaders influence, guide, and grow people. They are honest and authentic.

> The management style I have seen work the best is when people act in a real, genuine and sincere ways that are true to who they are as individuals and avoid manipulative behavior. They can still be hard chargers. They can still be abrasive. But they generally have a great degree of self-honesty and consideration to others to go along with their ambition.

The best managers I've ever had never told me to do anything. At my last position (from which I was unfortunately laid off a few months ago) as a senior staff engineer at a ~100 person startup with a ~30 person engineering org, my manager, the CTO, raised this to an art form. I joked with our other senior staff engineer (whom I hired) that our manager never said anything but "Figure it out." Once, after an eng all hands meeting, I Slacked my colleague and said "Well, if that wasn't peak $CTO-NAME, I don't know what is. I'm pretty sure what I just heard was the 25 minute version of 'figure it out.'"

"Figure it out" is a great message when you have a talented group of engineers working with you. They're experts at what they do, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten hired. "Figure it out" gives them room to get shit done, and it also goes a long way toward validating any concerns they might express. It's almost magical, really.

I worked there for almost a year, and I what I just wrote here for all of you is the absolute most valuable thing I learned in all that time. As a leader, telling smart, curious, and deeply technical people to "figure it out" will get you everything you ever dreamed of and more.

The only problem is that if you're not careful, you can end up talking too much, which leads to the other half of the lesson: shut the fuck up. Literally just stop talking, and leave some space in the conversation that you're not filling up with words. It's best if you can stop talking right as you've sketched out the barest outlines of a big idea, or told a good story, or you've just got something that's conceptually interesting to drop in the other person's lap.

Once you do that, "figure it out" + interesting idea + "shut the fuck up" is just like weaponized nerd sniping.

Checking the transcript, it is not unreasonable to say that

"Next year we'll have 1mil robotaxis on the road, the fleet wakes up by OTA update"

means "Robotaxi-capable in hardware" which is the main sell, IE that you buy car now, when the software is ready, and Tesla is closer than anyone else in having anything like that ready, your car will take the role of Robotaxi.

Maybe a bit ambigious wording like when what Sean Murray implied when the reality was a shared universe in place names, not realtime multiplayer at that stage

Correct. Managers handle process and paperwork. Leaders direct, influence, inspire, and occasionally even cajole or prod. It's the difference between a bureaucrat and a bard. The best managers are both, but you definitely want to make sure you're not sending a paper pusher to do a playwright's job.

Not saying there isn't collusion in the Valley but a negotiated deal with a signed contract complete with paper trail and with both companies, employees and former employees admitting that such a deal exists even if they can't discuss the details when asked about it isn't exactly the definition of collusion. It's an agreement. In fact, if the alternative was that Apple goes to war with Amazon in court over the number of counterfeit Apple products Amazon was selling (or allowing third parties to sell through Amazon) and Apple can build a strong enough case for a court to take it, then a signed agreement before litigation can even begin is a positive outcome from a court's perspective because even if litigation did begin, the court would be spending some time encouraging the parties to negotiate a settlement rather than dragging this out when the court could be hearing other cases.

Collusion is illegal and typically done in secret because its illegal, like when Apple, Google, Pixar and some others (I forgot who else, Google it) were suppressing wages–that was collusion. Signing contracts and making deals with other Fortune 500 companies operating in the same sector, even for things that neither company would typically offer to anyone else, is not.
This is for native AOT binaries, not for the typical case. Though this release and the previous ones did contain improvements for trimming binaries, which is what you need to use to make non-AOT binaries smaller.

In practice, port number is used as part of address, or, VPN, with tagging, are used. We can make convention that top 4 bits of port number are part of the host address. It will increase number of available addresses by up to 16x.

For example, we have router at 1.2.3.4/192.168.0.254, and 15 hosts behind it, then, by convention, we can access 192.168.0.1 from public internet as 1.2.3.4:32848 (port 32767+1+80), host 192.168.0.3 as 1.2.3.4:32849, and so on.
If you're using segger, a quick find-and-replace will take care of that (ditto GCC Makefiles). Must admit that when I started with nrf52 SDK, I too used thge embed-the-application-inside-the-SDK approach. Pretty soon that got cumbersome, so I switched to the softlink approach. The exact approach is to store the SDK somewhere, create a softlink to it in the project directory and have the project files/makefiles use that instead.
Yesterday, I was digging into some stuff in the database and saw some events scheduled for 17*. My initial reaction was that it was some far-off date. Then I realized ... nope, not far away at all.
> this post refers to it as reference 2. That algorithm runs in constant time, which is a pretty big deal.

Not constant time; the analysis in the paper shows that the nth digit can be computed in O(n log n M(log n)) bit operations, where M(j) is the bit complexity of multiplying two j bit numbers.
I would imagine the immediate problem is just that both approaches are fine, but the approach that is not fine is a third party arbing the interchange, i.e. you want either the seller or the buyer to get the surplus, not a rando in between.
The positioning is wrong though, in my relationship, Spotify is the third-party.

A third-party that used to pay for streams of my music, has decided to, instead change their terms, and use my music to generate more revenue (which in this case they are using to pay other artists, which is very strategic of them, because now they don’t have to pay those other artists more from their own pockets).

I negotiated with my distributor, distrokid, And paid to have my music distributed to services that pay for streams of my songs.

Suddenly one of these services altered their terms to the above.

And just to clarify, I’m not trying to be difficult. The fact of the matter is that my content has been taken by a third-party, and instead of paying out based off of an agreement, they have decided to take money from the content, creator, and instead use it to pay other artists (it is my strong suspicion that they did in order to not have to pay for transactions, even though this was all part of the arrangement from the beginning).

They have effectively saved themselves $40 million and more popular artists feel better because they are making more money, and the only people that lose out are people that have no real leverage in the situations.

I completely agree three dollars is very little money and is pretty insignificant. But it doesn’t change the fact that this was very strategic and the money that is generated is coming from creators, who have paid to have their content hosted, in exchange for money generation.

If you remember how big of a deal limewire was, this is a similar situation for songs under 1000 streams per year. It is distribution of music, without the consent of the artist, and worse off the platform is monetizing it and the artist does not get that money.

This is a very different situation than something like YouTube ad sense paying out after 1000 views, given that a content creator directly uploads content to YouTube and agrees to their terms.
Brilliant series! Are there any similar articles on how to make a Javascript debugger?
> I don't know why it is OK to do anything before we do not have information.

Because we never have it. Not once in the history of humanity has anyone done anything with the benefit of all the information. It's simply not possible to know everything about something.

Your choices are to do things where you don't know what's going to happen, or never do anything.

It turns out this is basically fine, because doing them is one of the best ways to find out what happens. And if it turns out something bad happens, then you can prohibit it, so it doesn't keep happening.

I count being horribly disappointed as being surprised, just with the sign reversed. That's the risk you have to take as a leader. But, yeah, if it's a high stakes, do or die situation, do what needs to be done, even if that's something like getting 3 different groups to work on the problem independently, or something.

Long term, if you have the right team, the positive surprises will more than cancel out the disappointments and the "meh" results. But, if it's a life or death type matter, fuck the long term -- you have to survive the short term before you start worrying about that. You can't manage or lead an organization that's at war the same way you would one that's at peace, and nor should you try.
Probably I shouldn't play into Godwin's Law, but what the hell.

The connection is “you can program it in C, but things are different from how they would work in a PDP”, which doesn’t make it a “weird PDP”.

You provided a source and made an untrue claim about the content. The shark question may have been a blocker but you haven’t provided any evidence to support that.
The obvious benefit to the customer is that they are not stuck in a queue. If you have portable scanners for customers (eg, via an app), all items can already be scanned on the fly, speeding up things even more. Moreover, self-checkout registers take less space - roughly doubling the number of available registers. Which, again, increases throughput and reduces latency.

Less obvious benefits to the customer: you can have one employee oversee multiple registers, instead of only 1. So less employees needed, so prices can go down. Customers can more easily take distancing measures themselves, as long as there isn't a queue for self-checkout.

But sure, some asshat may forget or "forget" to scan something. That happens with regular registers as well, but is more likely to be caught. And if it isn't: lucky for the asshat, less so gor the other customers - they will end up paying for the store's losses.

Yeah good luck with that one. ITAR doesn't work that way. The worst threat they could realistically make is to make their IP 100% public domain (in the ITAR sense which is a bit different from the copyright/patent sense) and the US probably would not care in the slightest since that would be a massive whale fall for the domestic launch system industry.

Someone who owned 36% of all the land in the United States would certainly be considered to 'controlling a large share of real estate'.

In the case of Amazon, it's even worse, because despite a 'mere' 36% market share, there is a lot of evidence that they have market-moving pricing power.

They generally exercise it by restricting the prices sellers can charge in other stores. This happens to almost all sellers on Amazon.
