> As a non-technical product manager having direct developer reports

It’s nice that you want to help them but this is a huge red flag for your company.

Product managers should not have engineers as direct reports.

You’re either sacrificing your product work to spend time doing an engineering managers job, or sacrificing supporting your direct reports to do product work. No one is winning in this situation, certainly not your company, and they are not setting you up for success.

Likely you’re really a project manager looking after a feature team of engineers, so no real product work is happening in this situation anyway.

If I were you I would:

a) stop developing new features right now.

b) escalate the issue with this really bad team topology to whoever can fix it.

Likely your CEO, if you have a CTO why don’t they care about supporting their engineers?
If you have a CPO / head of product, why are they not supporting you?

c) only work on tech debt to keep your team busy and doing something useful for a few weeks while you figure out a way forward.

d) you need to find someone with some role power who can hire people to support your department/team and get team set up properly. Ideally that means you no longer have any direct reports who are engineers.

e) if they can’t figure this out you probably need to look for a different job because the experience you’re getting doing this isn’t really helping you grow as a PM. The very last thing I want my PM’s worrying about is directly managing engineers.

Well, to be fair ”from foo delete” would do the same I suppose :-D Unless there’d be an explicit end to the statement to designate you really want to delete everything. Which might not be a bad idea. Or make ”where …” mandatory and bring in ”delete_all” or ”delete everything from foo” as a syntactic guardrail. This is equally implementable, whichever the order of ”delete” and ”from” would be.
Nuclear has its role to play when the weather isn't windy or sunny, at least until storage technology gets good enough. Especially in Northern parts of the world it's a big deal, because during winters solar is pretty useless.

Getting rid of coal (and natural gas, to lesser extent) should happen ASAP, and nuclear can be a part of the solution for the transition period.

Neat. Personally I also use PrimeFlex (https://primeflex.org/) which works nicely with PrimeVue, PrimeReact and PrimeNG. I actually mention those when I get the chance because while they're far from perfect, it's immensely cool when you have more or less the same component framework, icons and utilities across different technologies (Vue, React and Angular). Except I didn't like PrimeFaces/JSF that much, when I used those.

As a former ultra runner who never competed in barely, women traditionally do better downhill, they are lighter, have a smaller stride length (more agile), and Barkley has a lot of downhill. It's a loop also so comparing it to utmb or any race that isn't a loop or onb isn't quite the same. Men do better uphill traditionally where there is more power and lung capacity required, which Barkley has plenty of also. One thing no one has really pointed out is most ultras alow for a pacer after a certain point. This is vital once you start to lose your ability to think. It keeps you from getting lost, keeps you on pace, ensures you drink and eat at the correct times, mentally it gives you someone to keep you motivated, keep you sane, so on. In Barkley you see runners grouping together to compensate for the lack of a pacer but the fifth loop they send each runner out in the opposite direction so they do the final loop solo, when everything is at its worst. For example, in 2022, Karel Sabbe was found asking a trash can for help getting back on course because he thought it was a women, on his fourth loop.

Honestly, I am surprised it hasn't happen prior to this year, minus the fact that there are just so few finishers.

Summarized in one paragraph via: https://gemini.google.com
This is an article about building a loyal community around your product. It discusses the importance of understanding the needs of both your conspicuous and extended constituencies. The conspicuous constituency is made up of the people you already have relationships with, like investors and customers. The extended constituency includes anyone who could benefit from your product. By meeting the needs of your extended constituency, you can turn them into promoters of your product. Some ways to do this include sharing success stories and highlighting how your product helps people achieve their goals.
Yes, this is legitimate, and there's no cheating.

If you zoom in sufficiently, you can see that the "giant pixels" are really streams of spaceships, arranged in carefully positioned rows and columns that annihilate each other along the pixel's diagonal. These streams can be turned on or off to form the "display" component of each pixel, which is controlled by other parts of the pattern that do the actual computation.

As you zoom in or out, the simulation speed changes. A pixel seems to undergo a discrete state change when zoomed out, but when you zoom in and slow down, you can see how that change is actually executed by many underlying computational steps.

Other links in this thread go into more detail about how it works. The cleverest part is that the simulation is done in (more or less) "constant time" per frame, no matter how deeply you zoom or how fast you accelerate time.
>to act

Yes, that seems clear to me.

>to reproduce

No, that doesn't seem clear to me. I have no trouble imagining being perfectly tethered to the reality of life but having no plans to reproduce. Not that reproduction is a bad thing, but I just mean to say that I don't see how facts about our biology can alone dictate what's meaningful and what's not. It seems to me that from facts we can only derive more facts.

>Our biology tells us that we ought to have children

Well, it doesn't really tell us that we ought to do anything, does it? We're generally instilled with a biological impulse to reproduce, sure. But this still says nothing about what we ought to do. A fact about our biology doesn't directly justify a value concerning what we should do, because facts can't directly justify values, they can only justify other facts.

I'm not arguing this point just for the sake of argument - I wouldn't want my original comment to be read as something like, "Forget about math and philosophy and crap like that, just have sex!" No no, I just mean to say that instead of getting too caught up entirely abstract epistemological issues about which we can never be completely certain about anything (pace Descartes), it makes sense to philosophize in a way directly related to us being living, acting things and not philosophical proof machines. And this living and acting ought not necessarily involve having children, though it could.
The president of Ukraine is a jew. But that doesn’t stop the russian government from trying to denazify Ukraine.

The russian government at the moment simply doesn’t care about reason. They can’t, because then they would have to admit mistakes, but they are too weak and afraid to do this. So they have to define jews as nazis, muslims as ukrainians and war as peace.

Ask HN: What niche business domain do you find fascinating?
Hi HN, I currently work at a FAANG and while I’m in expert in our products and processes, the knowledge isn’t very useful outside of my company. In the past I’ve been more motivated when I’m working on industry problems that are “bigger” than my company. Even “boring” domains (payments, finance) are really interesting once you realize how deep they are.

What business domain have you worked in that you find interesting?
With agrivoltaics do the plants function like a mirror?

Albedo:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albedo :

> Surface albedo is defined as the ratio of radiosity J_e to the irradiance E_e (flux per unit area) received by a surface. [2]

IDK what a reasonable adjustment factor for dual-sided single-junction cells given crop albedo would be

Technically, even with one-sided panels, it's probably actually necessary to also model light that bounces off a shiny crop back into the air above the panel and diffuses and reflects against other radiation and scatters back to the panel; it's probably necessary to model albedo (or reflectivity) for single-junction cells too.
If you take that 10-15% number seriously, then her finish is a (graded) course record by a healthy margin.
What Would Happen to Bitcoin Without the Internet (2023)
I think it actually runs the other way. Because Physics is in the doldrums, intelligent people trained in Physics show themselves out and start building those advertising systems.

Personally I know many people who abandoned Physics to reinvent themselves as data scientists. Good for them that they were able to re-purpose their training; that doesn’t mean physics training is the best way to become a data scientist. My bias is that quantitative social science is a better route, although some of what it gains from focusing on people is often lost through less rigorous mathematics and software development requirements.

Oh no what have you done
In your story, the injustices are 1) the police going on a fishing expedition, and 2) the police using the data gained through an investigation to unjustly harass people. Those are bad things and we should have laws to prevent that and punish people who do so.

I agree it would be bad if they were making the request in furtherance of a conspiracy to do either of those things.

But the police asking Google for a list of people who viewed a video, though, is in itself not one of those things. It’s similar them asking a business owner whose business has a camera overlooking a street near a crime scene to hand over surveillance footage (which will include innocent passers by) or a business that sells a product which was known to be used by a criminal to provide a list of purchasers of that product (which will include innocent purchasers).

Many such businesses will voluntarily hand over such information to assist with an enquiry. Some businesses might refuse, or might choose not to have such information.

And this is why judges are involved in the process of issuing warrants and grand juries in the process of issuing subpoenas when the police or a prosecutor want to compel the production of evidence of that sort.

But it just seems inevitable that, at the beginning of an investigation into a crime where the perpetrator is unknown, the first step is to identify possible suspects; by definition not all of the people so identified will end up being investigated. How are the police to do that if they can’t ask anyone for information that might bring innocent people’s names to their attention?

I appreciate it seems idealistic maybe, but it feels to me that we need rules that ensure ‘coming to the attention of the police in the course of an investigation’ is genuinely harmless; not rules that assume it automatically exposes you to harm.

It's a little similar to how Plaid worked but different in that authentication into the services happens on the user's device.

This is in contrast to the other kind of scraping where the end-user has to trust Plaid (or whoever) with their passwords, Gandalf triggers an App Clip with a WebView that lets the user authenticate (in the same way they'd do on their browser) without compromising creds, then scraping happens.
There were lots of changes that permeated far beyond Britain. There was a time when every cow was tested in Germany if it was merely alive during the time when contaminated animal-based feed was going around, even if it wasn't fed anything like that. The EU only lifted general testing like 10 years ago - 20 years after the original outbreak. People have also completely stopped using the kind of feed ingredients that allow transmission of the disease to livestock intended for human consumption in most parts of the world. It was a shitty situation, especially in Britain, and many people there probably still carry the disease without knowing it because it can take up to 50 years to show symptoms. That's also the reason why many countries still won't allow you to donate blood if you lived in Britain at the time as the other comment mentioned. So saying that we didn't learn from it or changed nothing is just wrong. Another outbreak like the original one is basically impossible in the western world.
Oh, of course there's truth, and it's something to be concerned about. I just mean to say that philosophizing in a way cognizant of our status of living, acting things as opposed to truth-generating machines makes a lot of sense, particularly because there's going to be a level of uncertainty that pervades all our knowledge. But uncertainty shouldn't paralyze us into never-ending rational analysis.
Pretty simple background check would answer that question. If he’s claiming those credentials without actually having them I would assume it be common knowledge by now.
By your own admission though, BW is considered the “premier” hedge fund. So I’d be willing to bet some people dislike the culture but find it a worthwhile tradeoff for the status of working at BW. I’ve witnessed a similar dynamic at organizations like NASA. In private, people will talk about how they don’t much like the culture but find it hard to take a different job because it feels like a step down on the status ladder. Human incentives and biases can’t all be distilled to a simple model of “it must be a great culture or else people with options would leave”
Psychologically, if prices go up, you think "oh no, inflation!" but when your wages rise concomitantly, you think "I worked hard; I deserve this raise for my great performance"

People think about prices in terms of macroeconomic factors, but their own income as the result of individual factors.

Requiring infinite amounts of information to explain a finite universe? Occam's Razor comes down pretty hard on the side of "no".

People have tried to explain the universe with cellular automata and so far none of these systems has even been consistent with our current observations of the universe, let alone predicting some new behavior that would allow us to prove or disprove that the theory was true. (If your theory doesn't predict anything new, it's not a new theory at all!)

Requiring infinite recursion of cellular automata would seem to make the whole problem much harder...

99% of relevant AI skills right now are writing prompts, sticking search results in prompts (making sure to always call it RAG), and figuring out how to use Ollama — all of which can be "learned" in a matter of hours. Maybe word2vec and the like are relevant too, if one considers that ML. As far as actual AI skills, they are so quickly made obsolete that it can be hard for some to justify even bothering with, meaning we are approaching peak cargo culting in tech.

> I have a little sympathy for this - they're libraries that are replaceable

In effect unlike the C stdlib, where sure - there's almost nothing in the freestanding library, the C++ stdlib is full of higher level features even in freestanding, more like Rust's core. It's not as rich as Rust's core, but it's definitely in that direction.

So that means there's a responsibility for Quality of Implementation on those features, they're not really "replaceable" because they're in the fundamental standard library even on bare metal which means a "replacement" is just a parallel implementation. That's probably fine to some extent for std::unordered_map, but it's very silly for std::function, and I'd argue it's even silly for std::unique_ptr and std::string.

> now comes with a significant performance hit with a compiler upgrade, and requires code changes to fix

It's a problem that it took C++ until now to fix this, but that's still on them. There is a proposal (which I'd guess you'll hate) to have a Rust-style uninitialized wrapper type so that you can write what you meant here and it's clear to the compiler and to future human maintainers that those ain't chars, those are a kiss of death until after that C function successfully does what it says it does.

The C definition of assert, which C++ inherits, is problematic here, because it's a no-op in release builds.

It's a cool idea but I really don't like the front-end being used in the site. For instance, if you try to select the footer element, to block it, instead of the site showing you "#footer" (or something legible), it shows you something like ".lg\:px-8.sm\:px-6.px-4.max-w-7xl.mx-auto > .py-16". As well as it adding a "?ref=feedle.world" in all links you click by default. Also it would be nice an option that automatically loads more when you scroll down.

Oh, and that "Welcome to feedle!" popup seems like dark pattern to me.

It's probably the stone-age of PQC right now. Apart from the humongous sizes the amount of scrutiny and standardization is low compared to RSA or even elliptic curve cryptography. So chances are that at least one popular algorithm needs to be swapped out in foreseeable time.

On the other hand speaking about HTTP newer versions allow for more efficient connection reuse and multiplexing so the bulky handshakes aren't needed as often.
Not even that, I'm not a civil engineer, but it looks pretty hard to add a ton of concrete without really helping a skyscraper, but I could add a few thousand lines of code without improving a system one bit, and even more lines to make the system slower, more complex, and still not add any functionality.
