Who is bonusing who?

I think some people simply can't get rid of the idea that there has to be some external paternalistic figure that looks over developers' shoulder and guides the poor hapless saps and their incentives. Do they give candy to the good boys/girls and coal to the bad ones? You might be thinking of Santa.

The developers and sre's incentives are the same as everybody else in the company: have a great, easy to sell, popular and reliable product. Management types insisting to compartmentalize incentives is them trying to have an excuse for their own existence.

We should all drag ourselves kicking and screaming to the reality that we can do much more with much less management layers. Even big companies, which are bloated beyond saving, are waking up to that fact. PMs are the first to go, just look at what Meta, a notoriously inefficient company is doing to their non technical PMs.

Think for a second why nobody has had the idea of letting an engineer be a 'Marketing Project Manager' of the marketing team and be calling the shots what campaigns to run, what marketing materials to produce, and make marketers estimate with poker cards how many of their leads will turn to a sale. Sounds stupid, right? Yet this is exactly what you want us to accept the other way around. Not gonna happen.

There is no excuse to have non engineers embedded in and actually calling the shots on behalf of an engineering team with the patronizing though that the engineers can't decide for themselves what to build and how to prioritize it.
From the opinion:

> Second, while a state may regulate misleading commercial speech, the term “engineer,” standing alone, is neither actually nor inherently misleading.

IANAL but they only ruled on the general use of "engineer" because they found Oregon's statute overly broad on First amendment grounds. "Professional engineer" is still protected, just like it is in Canada. In the US I'm careful to write "engineering professional" as an electrical engineer if I need the phrase.
What about audio engineers?
Thank you for the hilarious image of an obnoxious American tourist shouting "I need to talk to the Mater DEE!" at a baffled Frenchman.

> (disclaimer: Brit here, not defending our pronunciation of Worcestershire)

The Americans typically pronounce it some form of "Wooshishurr".

I used to live in Massachusetts, and my wife would complain about the British-inspired place names and their local pronunciation. "I'm from Louisiana, I can't with your New England names! There's no 'lemon' in Leominster!"

I would gently remind her of how 'Natchitoches' is pronounced; it's certainly not as written.

Those can be in a deadly spiral.

Risk aversion doesn’t actually mean you’re good at addressing risk; in fact it may keep you from implementing changes (change is risky) that address real risks.
You might want to try out self hosting hydra! It's pretty sweet for your usecase (building and caching Nix stuff, in a smart way). It can even run arbitrary commands (e.g. moving a release branch)

>a planetary apex species capable of industry would have funerary rituals to prevent anything from learning a taste for their bodies. their dead would be well protected from harm if they weren't already somehow destroyed, and this would probably prevent any form of fossilization to be found later.

That seems to be making a lot of assumptions. Why couldn't tossing bodies into a tar pit be a funerary rite?
That private organization is the one that licenses "engineers" in BC.

The entire Canadian regulatory system is crazy anachronistic with a bunch of legacy colonial and British cruft. It's like the worst parts of American federalism were mixed with the worst parts of British centralization.

Title is missing a key word from the article: all new cars.
Engineering societies in Canada are not really private. They are considered self-regulating professions, where the society has an official role regulating their profession. Each of the provinces have enabling legislation that authorizes these societies to create binding regulation within the bounds of the legislation.
I think a lot of war, both that and more recent comes from the power disparity between the king or dictator running things and the ordinary people, rather than about economic disparity. Then you get situations like that in Russia/Ukraine where Putin may as well use a million Russians as cannon fodder to grab land and become Vlad the great because what are they going to do about it? WW1 was similar. Serious wars between proper democracies where the cannon fodder get to make the decisions pretty much don't happen.

On the other hand if you look at neighbouring countries with unusually high Gini inequality coefficients like SA and Namibia, or the US and Mexico there is little sign of war breaking out.
As a Texas resident I think this is a good thing. The real untouched key point is legislature creates the rules and they never designed it with emergency in mind. I doubt it was nefarious at the time in the late 90s.
Reasonably well, all things considered. There are something like 20+ million ar-15s in america, were american gun owners considered an army it would be the largest ever conceived of with no close second; perhaps here you will find the reason you enjoy more liberties than someone living in china or north korea.

And I never said it was fair, I said it was a balance; the balance is very clearly biased towards the government, but they do not enjoy such power for complete and violent subjugation. They rely instead on propaganda, I would argue that is the foundation of their power in fact; the creation myth of our government, that the public interest is represented, keep a critical mass unwittingly subsurvient.
I started using Linux in 1996 and it was years before I met another Linux user, so I didn't run into other peoples' interpretation for quite some time. And missed out initially on the cultural stuff.

I've always pronounced this "fisk," but my first iPod had the engraving "Bad Mother Fscker" -- because Apple wouldn't let you do the other, but "Fscker" slid right through.

A bad product manager is worse than no product manager. And it is hard to become a product manager that does not do a bad job.

Feature creep, not understanding software development methodologies, not having an intuition around technology, not talking to users, not talking to the team = bad product management.

Maximizing the value of what the team is working on = good product management.

I heard a rumor that ZFS native encryption is somewhat abandoned by its maintainer following it having landed in the release, that it was one person and they moved on/lost interest. I don’t know if this is true or not.

I’m still using ZFS on LUKS2 for now, given the issues like this. (You also can’t specify multiple keys in ZFS native encryption.)
That's not how it works. If some popular YouTuber calls you "eyegor", then that will be how your name is pronounced.
Ironically, You missed the point of my comment :) I'm talking about things outside of code and certainly not about storing data about domain-specific things.
> There is no way a engineering board has time to scrap every website and every person and see if they call themselves an engineer or not.

They actually do! The startup I currently work at, once it got to a decent size, the BC PEng association reached out and said “your company is full of people not registered as Professional Engineers with the job title Engineer, change or we’ll sue.” No biggie, we changed the job titles to Software Developer, and everyone updated their LinkedIn, etc. The exact same thing happened at the last startup I worked at, too. They’re pretty thorough.

They don’t sue right away, they just ask first, and normally everyone just changes the title when asked - Engineer IS a protected title here, you do have to be a registered Professional Engineer to use it. This guy only got sued because he refused to change it.
> In cases like “fillet” and “valet” American English goes with “French” pronunciation.

British English is even less consistent, using the French pronunciation of "valet" for one of its two meanings and the Anglicized pronunciation for the other meaning.
Jira (/ˈdʒiːrə/ JEE-rə) says wikipedia, I had it right :)
You’d want to look over a longer period of time since those figures have big seasonal variations, and we can’t forget that California has a considerably larger economy and population – there are around a hundred countries with populations smaller than the difference between California and Texas - so it would probably be better to make that comparison per-capita or per-gigawatt. Since we’re talking about renewables, greenhouse emissions would also be a good point and it looks like California’s grid is substantially cleaner than Texas’ by that metric according to the EPA, but that’s complicated by California having the option to buy power from outside the state.

In any case, my point was simply that if we’re seeing a system with recurring widespread life-threatening outages described as great, I think it’d need to be almost free or 100% non-polluting to balance that out. The 2021 outage alone was responsible for hundreds of deaths and damages in the hundreds of billions range, so I kinda expect better than “a top competitor to CAISO”.
I think it's fair to consider a board of directors as people who "work at the company".
Sure but he has a university degree in engineering and was a titled hardware engineer for 9 years. To me, it's kind of like not being able to call yourself a network engineer or sysadmin because your CompTIA certificate expired.
No, if Riza writes RZA and calls it Riza then he is free to call RZA Riza others are not obliged to. Abbreviation is abbreviation. But Riza calls Riza as “Rieyazza”, why? well, whims and fancy, then maybe that can work out.

Besides I don’t fsck calls itself something unless we are talking about AI or some shit.

For example I never call GUI “Gooey” but others do and that’s fine.

Neither GUI nor RZA is an acronym really unless we plan to make every abbreviation an acronym.
It's counterintuitive but makes perfect sense once you think about it.

Would you put your money in a bank account if you knew that withdrawing it later was an uncertain, long, expensive process?

Of course not.

The same logic applies to hiring. It's a huge deal to hire someone if you know there's a lot of red tape and expense around lettig them go if you have to.

Easy go, easy come.
You don't have to make Gitlab/GitHub YAML files complicated if you don't want to. The "script" section can be just a call to a normal shell/Python/Typescript CI script. It's pretty widely known that you should keep as much stuff out of the YAML as possible, so you can run CI locally.

That was definitely the most bullshit criticism in the article. Clearly not even something they actually care about because they settled on Drone CI which is configured in exactly the same way.
> How did people or groups challenging it with their guns (or even peacefully) because they thought of it as an "oppressive government" fared?

Well there was an American revolution that gave us our nation in the first place. I’d say it fared mightily well.
On Arch, zfs-linux package has an exact version of linux as a dependency. linux package gets updated fairly often, and by the time zfs-linux package catches up, linux is already on a newer version and you are unable to upgrade.

Sometimes it takes quite a while before those two are in sync and you can upgrade your system.
From a language learning perspective, I think this is accomplished via memorization of complete sentences. I am building an SRS as a side project where you memorize complete sentences instead of single vocabulary words and your response is graded by an LLM so that you don’t lose points when your answer is not quite correct or differs slightly in prompt meaning. is that what you meant? I have had good luck using this technique for memorization of grammar rather than memorization of vocabulary.
Nice! What settings are you using (steps, etc.)?
Only if the third party need vouching for.

IBM survives in large part because they are a third party you can hire without really putting your own neck out there as the biz folks trust them.

At a prior job it was CGI. CGI got a ton of work as when they failed, the lower level people didn't get blamed. Any other vendor would have led to the negative reflection you mentioned.
Jira's name comes from the Japanese name of Godzilla (ゴジラ, Gojira). Reason why is because it was intended to be a "Bugzilla killer". I have never heard anyone pronounce Jira incorrectly, always like "Jeera".
For those with elderly parents the writing has been on the wall for years. It’s sad but my mother has for some time been effectively locked out of parts of the internet as she is unable to complete these kinds of captures due to eyesight issues.

I mean, I’ve sometimes had to try three or four times with certain captures and I have perfect eyesight (with my glasses). I feel so badly for those with vision or hearing issues with an empathy I never had when I was younger. They are so often simply forgotten.
At $300k/pa with $5000/mo in rent, it’s pretty obvious I am talking about SFBA and NYC, which unsurprisingly have the highest density of people earning $300k/pa. In those areas you need to spend at least $2.5M to buy anything decent, it would take 62 months (or 5 years) if you saved every penny earned after you paid rent (infeasible) to save up a 20% down payment for the mortgage.

You’re only “qualified” for what you can make the down payment on, and starter homes in high CoL areas are nonexistent.

You seem to have rose colored glasses.

> It would not make sense to train a model for every advertiser and then upload that to the phone.

I was assuming that's what they were doing. Maybe you could combine both ways, with really imprecise models, so the phone captures and upload only words that above average chance of matching (so not that much data), and have heavy servers do the rest?

Yes I don't work in this field, but you shouldn't assume that just because you don't know how something can be achieved, then no one else has figured it out either (especially where they're motivated to keep it secret).
On editors.

My favourite user experience is the https://telegra.ph editor.

The https://medium.com editor also has a great writing experience.

These two executed a page editor so well i.e very low cognitive load and intuitive editing.
.............................

What is missing?
- Organisation of drafts (https://obsidian.md does this best)

- A decent mobile app, desktop app & web app that work well offline (https://obsidian.md also does this well)

- Ability to export to another platform (https://obsidian.md also does this well)

- Collaboration.

- Latex Support

- Mermaid Support

- Support for Idyll

- Support for embedded items i.e interactive charts.

--------------------------------

But here is the kind of platform that is really missing.

If I wanted to start a trade journal, niches news site or publication, digest. Like The Economist, Quanta, Architectural Digest, Deezen.

There is really not "go to" platform that caters for all these needs out of the box.

People often have to struggle with badly done custom solutions.
From what I can tell, "engineer", as used for denoting someone has been certified in something, is a somewhat recent 20th century trend. Prior to that, engineer was what you called someone who did the thing (I.e. railroad engineer), not the certificate needed. Indeed, having a certificate for engineering at all is a recent invention.

So it would seem this ruling goes against historical usage.
The definition of tabled used is "next on the agenda" (aka definition 1b instead of 1a for the verb at Merriam Webster [1]).

Generally, articles about Canada, the United Kingdom, and other Commonwealth countries use the 1b definition, whereas articles about the United States typically use the 1a definition. I can't recall any article about Canadian news in particular, which uses the 1a definition for "tabled."

That approach works if you mostly see the word written, rather than hear it spoken.

If you spend most of your time immersed in text and not much time immersed in speech, you might develop a bias towards thinking the written word is the primary form.

For “fsck” you could make a case that it comes from a primarily written culture.
But doesn't that mean that at least nationally, it's essentially a money printing machine?

Is there lts kernel support for zfs-linux? I found I had to switch to the lts kernel on an Arch gaming rig because of issues with Nvidia drivers.
I can most certainly and confidently tell you that a dedicated QA team that only does testing is a total waste of money! A sre/platform team building fuzzy testing tools and mandating better testing practices is money much better spent.

The developers MUST care for the quality, not outsource it to some external team. The desire of large corps to spend huge amount of $$$ to create artificial roles to water down ownership can never cease to astonish me.

If your devs can't think of handling nulls or corner cases, you got a skill problem, and you should ASAP upskill the devs, not outsource thinking to another tea.

Making quality somebody else's problem is the exact opposite of ownership! You want agile? Damn leave the devs alone, stop building walls around them and the product they are building!
It's an interesting project, but I think a clarification would be important: Is SSH3 supposed to be "SSH-over-HTTP" that happens to use QUIC as a transport, or is it "SSH-over-QUIC" that happens to use HTTP as an auth/adressing layer?

The difference is not just philosophical, it also has practical implications, in particular what part of the different protocols (SSH, HTTP, TLS and QUIC) clients, servers and intermediates are expected to implement and which can be left out.

E.g., if it's "SSH-over-HTTP", I'd expect the protocol to work well with HTTP proxies and application servers and I'd expect to be able to run a SSH3 server and a regular HTTP server on the same port. On the other hand, I'd expect features that require precise control over the low-level QUIC connection - like UDP port forwarding and session resumption - to be less reliable.

If it's "SSH-over-QUIC", the expectations would be the opposite: That you can treat QUIC (and TLS) as an integral part of the protocol, in the same way that the encryption, auth and transport layers in standard SSH are seen as an integral part of SSH. However then the server should generally be deployed as a standalone process on a separate port and should not be considered a fully compatible HTTP endpoint. That might diminish the "stealth" ability of the protocol a bit.

Or to sum it up, which parts of the protocol stack would an SSH3 client or server be expected to provide by themselves and which parts would be delegated to the OS/infrastructure/intermediaries etc?
How does Base32 (or any Base2^n) work exactly?

I was, uh, rather honest about my feelings and he didn't get hired.

Congrats you literally just described project management with extra steps.
P.E.R.T. was designed by smart people for smart people.

1. It colocates responsibility into time-bounded nodes

2. It offers concurrent redundancy to bypass high-risk teams

3. It may hide the global context from participants engaged in adversarial behavior

4. It decomposes into traditional project planning timelines for presentations

DevOPs/Agile is only good if your firm bills by the hour.

The paradox of cost optimizing labor for a fixed cost infrastructure investment often undermines the stated goal of a timely product launch. It is often not a risk mitigation decision, but rather a lack of respect for professional staff,

Most firms that needed the backbone resurrected almost always had a few overworked and underpaid staff that jumped to a better company before the IT debt came due.

You are probably thinking this is only for small firms, but even >$8B market cap firms fall into the same golden goose egg parable.

The mistake technical people make is assuming they could ever fix these political/structural issues with logic.

Good luck, and a wonderful seasons greetings =)

This seems pretty filled with arbitrary back-reasoning for decisions they've already made based on guy feelings.

They don't like "AI-powered" because it is a vague, ill-defined term... except it's extremely obvious and well defined what GitHub means by that (and they've even used copilot and liked it!)

Gitlab CI is rejected because it uses YAML for config... like every other CI system they mention.

Gitlab isn't ok because it's open core, but Drone CI is.

Could have been an interesting comparison but it wasn't.
A similar technique is employed by git to get past SHA-1 collision risk, so I wouldn't say it's entirely without merit.
I maintain that "wiki" should be pronounced "weekee"
I didn't even know that Apple's App Store enabled subscription apps, yuck.

> But most of them seem to think they can operate entirely in document-land and just crank out roadmap docs and keep stakeholder alignment via endless check-ins and nagging. They are doing a "project manager" job instead.
