Coming from a job where we transitioned to cross-functional teams, all we did was reorient the silo. The business was unhappy with teams oriented around specific projects, and felt we were struggling to produce quality releases according to the roadmap because teams had lack of understanding of the big picture along with competing priorities.

With a CFT, we would focus on a vertical slice of whatever systems it took to deliver a feature, and orient our team structure around the right expertise in the systems we’d need to touch. We would also take responsibility for managing our own releases rather than relying on bottleneck-prone maintainers to do it.

This seemed sensible at first, it even gave us a sudden burst of productivity. It soon fell apart, however, as now it became incredibly difficult to manage releases across products where multiple teams have competing priorities. Quality quickly plummeted and we had an even worse time releasing software, and every end of sprint the problem compounded. We still ended up with a bottleneck of a few experts to sort through the firehose of changes each team was trying to push out and get it handled. Our workload actually increased, along with stress and frustration.

The issue in this case was a perfect storm of tech debt, poor planning, poor architecture, and simply too many priorities. The business thought that rotating the team structure 180 degrees magically multiplies our productivity, and somehow convinced themselves that the work these teams do are completely independent, all while building out a roadmap with very little cooperation from the engineers. On top of investing in fixing the technical and organizational issues just producing software, I would rather leadership had focused the entire business on a small set of complimentary or at least non-competing (limited by available resources, of course) priorities so we could each focus on an piece of the puzzle and bring our particular expertise to bear on producing a coordinated and high quality solution. I certainly agree that teams oriented around their microservice or whatever was bad, but orienting around a project/feature really any different; we should have been oriented around a holistic product and the customers’ well-being.
After 2007-2008, people were still talking about a “double-dip” recession until, what, 2011? The uneven recovery pretty much directly led to Trump.

I guess if you’re talking tech-only, go look at how long it took the Nasdaq to achieve new highs after 2001.

Markets don’t recover. They evolve.

That’s 1 ppm. Much more reasonable!
"very small percentage"

1% of 238,000 employees is a "very small percentage" and still 2,380 employees. Insight into certain operational information and potentially undisclosed/unpatched zero days could be monumentally valuable to a nation state actor.
Good point about working memory. And you are right if it is in memory you can read stuff that assumes you know it and just glide through without stopping.

For me the tricks like above were like a backup solution, using it a few times it became obvious that 9 x 3 == 27. Indelible. It is. For some cases it was like "It can only be 27 OR 26" and then I would use the trick figure out which.

But whether you use a simple trick and a trivial calculation or don't have to do that at all the point is the same it should not take much thinking which would cause you to lose your focus and train-of-thought, as you say.

I have always wanted to set up a ceph system with one drive per node. The ideal form factor would be a drive with a couple network interfaces built in. western digital had a press release about an experiment they did that was exactly this, but it never ended up with drive you could buy.

The hardkernel HC2 SOC was a nearly ideal form factor for this, and I still have a stack of them laying around that I bought to make a ceph cluster, but I ran out of steam when I figured out they were 32bit. not to say it would be impossible I just never did it.
The Bretton-Woods agreement was not unique to the US. Populist farmers had wanted USD to be backed with Silver, too (because they had silver on their farms). "Follow the Yellowbrick Road" in the Wizard of Oz is contextually about bimetallism and William Jennings Bryan, the Cowardly Lion.

So, if USD was suddenly also backed by silver (or lab-grown diamonds), how would that change the relative purchasing power of a dollar?

Instead it is said that we have a petrodollar (or a "narco-oil") state with large standing army to force international trade to use the most stable currency of trade; and how sensitive to the price of commodities like oil is our economic stability?

There were fewer economic calamities in frequency and severity while we were on the gold standard (when we had gold reserve-backed fiat currency), but less growth.

Anyways, which economic effects are secondary when most of economics is nonlinear in that a change in quantity X results in a change in Y results in e.g. "back pressure" on X?

Which are particles and which are quasiparticles from which emergent dynamics can emerge; which are secondary effects? Also, describe international turmoil / [false] information, and commodity prices.

> when someone says "the economy is great", that's relative to post-covid and two multi-decade wars the US fought and a global recession not even two decades old.

No? It's relative to pretty much all of 20th/21st century data. Can you point to some numbers that you think tell a different story? We are vastly wealthier than our grandparents. Real[1] median household income is 50% higher today than in the 80's. See: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA672N

It's down a little (like 5%) across the pandemic, which is what everyone seems to be freaking out about. But that correction is behind us now and things are looking good again, which is causing a somewhat counter-intuitive anti-anti-freakout a-la your comment. Which is what the linked article is about.

Cheer up, basically. You've been fooled by the discourse into believing things that aren't true.

It’s actually transportability and shelf life that were the original drivers - looks were a follow-on trend. The former of course translate to price - which I can’t argue with people for being motivated by.
It is a bit unfortunate that they took that approach. A patent would have seemingly been reasonable and it wouldn’t have died with them.

> You know they don't want the service or to pay for it; you are just taking advantage of their mistake.

Get this: In this jurisdiction, as an employer I have to legally continue to pay for the services of labor for another two weeks (at minimum, more if the worker has been around for a while) after I no longer want the service. That's thousands of dollars, possibly even tens of thousands of dollars, for a service I don't want.

Curiously, I have never yet met anyone who has politely declined or offered to pay it back. I suppose all workers are scammers by nature.
I had to try five different SSRI/SNRI’s before I found one that worked. I bet I could determine my SNRI vs a placebo in a double blind trial.
Maybe you'd have had better luck with placebos. No side effects?
Whilst true it seems like the AWRE and Ministry of Defence thought it was credible.
Yes. Because the native births number is going down, and that isn’t good for our country at all.
If all you wanted was the electricity for the farm you could put the solar panels on the farmhouse and the barn.

Comparing the efficiency of photosynthesis and photovoltaics is meaningless because they don't yield the same product.
To be clear: I was picking another outlier. In fact most american households spend rather more on personal electronics and gadgetry (not just TVs, obviously) than they do on food. Yet no one is dancing in the streets about the amazing windfall of cheap Foxconn-produced devices, because we all recognize that one market is an outlier and that the economy as a whole doesn't look that great.

I'm just pointing out that freaking out about food prices is the same kind of cherry picking.
2015-current Googler here.

This take rings true for me.

Many Googlers show no drive in their role. Good enough work gives high compensation. Firings are for egregious performance.

If that wasn't enough, the internal culture slows output too. endless infrastructure migrations. Design docs for small changes. "Demonstrate leadership". Strategic timing of "demonstrate trajectory".

A lawyer paid by the private party fills the role of the government prosecutor, but the case is heard by the same judge and jury who would hear it in a state prosecution.

Until the 1980s this was how almost all criminal prosecutions worked in England, though by the end the "private prosecutor" was usually a police officer.

In this respect, I highly recommend Cobalt series of connectors from Blue Trail Engineering: https://www.bluetrailengineering.com/professional-products - they cost "just" tens of dollars each and are very good (I used them); quite popular with ROV community.
Two is greater than one.
I agree with that. Save gas / energy as well. People accelerate, pass me, then slam on the brakes at the red light, where I catch up with them. Or the traffic is really packed in all lanes, but still moving. They accelerate, start tailgating the person in front, and then inevitably having to slam on their brakes.

The one pedal driving can be used with an IC car too in certain conditions, just leaving more room ahead.

> SSRIs were very effective for me, and it was 100% not placebo.

You may have had extreme depression. That's the cohort that anti-depressents actually work for. But they are next to a scam for people with mild depression (or I should say, they do the same thing as placebo according to RCTs), which is where the majority of prescriptions go to. See Irving Kirsch's research on this question.

I'd add that, even if you didn't have extreme depression, I don't doubt that you experienced something that wasn't placebo, because you did take a substance that causes side effects. It is impossible to blind you to the consequences of a side-effect causing drug.
They didn't said that. Classic sales mistake.
It starts to work when there are a few others doing it too. All of the sudden, it’s like magic, traffic is suddenly moving and there so no annoying stopping and going.
Firstly you -really- don't want deflation. That'll kill an economy real quick.

Second, we get deflation of specific goods all the time. Electronics and solar equipment are the poster child for this. An Apple 2 cost a lot more than my most recent machine.

Thirdly, wages rise to compensate with inflation. Ask your grandfather what their first car cost. Then ask them about their first salary check.

I get that people get antsy when they see prices go up. I get that a combination of increased demand and constrained supply both work to increase specific things (housing in SF). I get that your employer may not be increasing wages to match inflation.

I get that people on fixed income pensions feel inflation a lot. (Let their pain be your education; don't use fixed income products as your retirement plan.)

But equally don't use a word like "damage" here. There's no damage. The price of goods is always in flux, and always the result of many different interlocking numbers.

I understand that to folks who have grown up in zero-inflation environment that this can seem scary. But, from one who has lived my whole life in a single-digit inflation environment, its not scary. You just get/give a wage bump each year to compensate.

And yeah, I get that US employers are profit hungry and less inclined to pay living wages. If you're starting a business I heartily suggest you build inflation into your wage bill .

It is weird that the time synchronization issue is still unresolved, despite decades of effort.
It's not a crank article. It exaggerates but does include specific criticism of a certain influential study.

I'm fairly skeptical of SSRIs. Most psychiatrists still parrot the "your brain needs more serotonin" line which is not backed by substantial evidence. I think SSRIs probably "work" as active placebos (with side effects) but are vastly overprescribed.

Also, it's very hard to know if an antidepressant worked for you because we can't test the counterfactual.
Sounds very much like a keyboard farmer comment.

In the real world, farm power is required for heavy equipment, battery banks, powering cell phone repeating towers on leased out land and entire paddocks are dedicated to mounting panels.

These can be ground panels (saves on mounting) or high mounts (to allow for tilt and track | animals to graze underneath)

Right when you read something you don't need to understand it all to understand something which may be needed to understand something else elsewhere.

But still I think it would motivate me to keep on learning if somebody could show me an accurate acyclic pre-requisites graph and tell me: "These are the thing you need to understand before you should go to the next topic. If someone could come up with the time to come up with an accurate acyclic "knowledge-graph" it would help millions of students of mathematics.

If you try hard and long enough you will understand what you're trying to understand, you will. The question is what would make that more fun and less tedious. It is about precision and not needing to learn something you don't need to learn, to understand something that you need to learn. Spend your time on learning stuff you need to learn to understand what you want to learn.

The number is likely larger than the article suggests, because both Visa and Mastercard will share updated payment information to merchants who had recurring charges. The paper treats this as a "possibility" (and uses a small lambda factor to adjust for it) rather than the norm that it is in 2024.

Data Model Debt Is Forever
the typical auto renewal scam. Some reason it's common and i'm happy to see it getting some light. I wanted to order some science stuff for my kids for Christmas by ordering them 6 months of packages, one per month. They wouldn't let me only order 6 but I had to order them with a rolling subscription that automatically renewed. I emailed them and said I don't want it to renew automatically, I want 6 and then I will personally decide whether to order more, to which their system didn't even support. They're obviously banking on people forgetting to cancel, which I can't believe is legal. In this case it's not as bad cause they actually deliver a physical product.

Once I looked at my bank account and noticed that i'd been paying for ancestry for the past 6 months... WTF! So I logged into my account, canceled it and requested a refund stating that I didn't even know I had it and didn't login once. They told me they don't offer refunds despite me never logging in. You basically sign up to a free trial by placing down a credit card to get access and forget about it. Total scam and I can't wait for it to be illegal.

I've got a lot of respect for Oki. Granted they've left the US market but still in the EU and Asia. Heck, we were getting security firmware updates 7 years after initial purchase. Of the 10 we had at work, still rocking 9 of them 9 years after purchase. The only loss was due to a power spike after a power loss restoral.

I'd throw all our worthless Xerox in the trash if I could still get Oki.
I considered digressing into this in my post, but while completely true, I concluded its also irrelevant to the point being discussed. Even tap water has sufficient contaminants to make it an excellent conductor.

Gleam looks very interesting. However I don't see any support for annotations (metadata based code generation) or reflection. I am curious if these are things that just haven't been implemented yet or it is an explicit goal to avoid such features to keep the language simple.

SSRIs are not placebo. They are very powerful drugs. Increasing the dosage has more extreme effects. To call it placebo is a misunderstanding of statistics.

If a drug doesn’t work for 80% of people but works for 20% very well, it might be indistinguishable statistically from placebo. That doesn’t mean it isn’t working.
Yes it's primarily bandwidth costs for the binary tarballs. People fetch directly from ziglang.org in their CI scripts and don't use caching. It would be nice if people would try to use caching and mirrors more.
Interesting article but one thing stood out:

The landlord had no idea what this is. There are no buttons or labels on the thing, just a tiny yellow light to let you know it has the power.

You move in and find a mysterious device on the wall that, at least to me, appears somewhat ominous and it's not obvious whether it may have a camera and possibly a microphone (the picture of it on the manual appears to show that it does have at least a camera)...

Roughly a year ago I moved into my new apartment.

...and you were perfectly fine with living in its presence for a year? When I saw the picture, my first thought was closer to "that's a telescreen", and I'd certainly try to find out more about it ASAP.
