I certainly didn’t intend to undervalue the importance of strong and clear communication, which is undeniably crucial for the success of any team. However, my comment was aimed more at questioning the balance between the creation of documentation/meetings and the direct development work that contributes to shipping value.

From my experience, especially within the startup ecosystem, there’s a tendency to prioritize rapid development and iteration over extensive documentation and lengthy meetings. This approach is often rewarded in such environments because it aligns closely with the need to move quickly and adapt to market demands. In my view, a piece of well-written, efficient code that directly contributes to a feature or product often delivers more immediate value than the documentation that accompanies it. This perspective isn’t to say documentation isn’t necessary, but rather that its depth and scope should be carefully weighed against the urgency of delivering functional, value-adding features to the market.

Of course, this balance shifts as teams and projects scale. Larger teams and more complex projects require more structured communication and documentation to maintain coherence and alignment. The challenge, as I see it, is finding the right balance that allows us to remain agile and innovative without losing the thread of effective communication and documentation.

In essence, I believe in the importance of both coding and communication tasks. My aim is to spark a discussion on how we can better align our efforts to ensure that we’re not only creating value through our direct development work but also supporting that work with the necessary documentation and meetings in the most efficient way possible. How can we optimize our approach to these essential tasks to support our main goal of shipping value, especially in fast-paced environments?
There has been an absolutely huge amount of building going on - and while developers are sensitive to mortgage rates, they would have started building prior to interest rate increases.

That said, had building slowed? It’s building sites everywhere I go.
For those that remember the James Burke show "Connections", he also did a program called "After the Warming" that's staged like a documentary that takes place in the future after humanity has solved the global warming crisis.

In that show, policy makers use a computer simulation of the world to quantify the limits that they set on emissions, and all of the nations in the world come together to make it happen and look back on this age as an important lesson.

I believe there's a low-res VHS rip of it available somewhere if you search, which gives the whole thing an eerie feeling of discovering an alternate-reality documentary.

This was the third movie. Star Wars was already extremely popular by the time this as filmed.
Nvidia is really embracing the hype train I see...

I'm assuming this model is in the same vein as ECMWF, GFS, ICON, CMC, and NAVGEM.

Imagine if the NOAA or an academic lab released such a model called it "Earth 2.0" or "Earth's digital twin". It would just feel... like hubris? Not sure why (or how) Nvidia gets away with such messaging.
If you plant trees, it needs to be nurtured, monitored, until they can survive and thrive on their own. Many talk about the planting (fun) part and forgot about the upkeep. Pakistan planted a billion trees[1] but it was neglected. If I remember correctly, the project is termed a failure due to neglect.

> MS Project

Heh, ~10 years ago that program used to be incredibly bad, losing information and getting getting things wrong.

To the point where on some (larger) projects they'd have a separate project manager actually doing the work in a different system, but then update everything into MS Project every week just to comply with upper management directives. :/

Has it gotten any better?
Emad is still the company's majority shareholder and is also commenting on this thread, so I would not describe him as gone.

Not sure if this article is a hit piece but it certainly is reporting a lot of normal situations for startups as if they're extremely bad or fraudulent. There's nothing new about tech companies not being profitable, or researchers leaving once they've done their research projects.
The parent comment doesn't read like an attack to me. Just an observation. Would be curious why you wanted the update though.
Sure, but this doesn't actually talk about things like them having shadows around them, or evaporating, or having a "photon sphere" where light orbits, or how you'll never see anything actually fall in because of the time dilation.
I’ve been playing Veloren for several months now and I love it. (My nick is “varsderk”—say hi if you see me!) It’s been going through a ton of development progress; the game now is very different from the game I started with; it keeps getting better. So happy this thing exists!
that's great, yeah! what is the data source for the papers?
Applications that write "incomplete lines"

- VSCODE

C/C++ compilers that process "incomplete lines"

All of them.

Will my users consider it a bug if my program doesn't process "incomplete lines":

Yes. (Yes, I have had this bug logged
against code that I wrote).

Yes.
Generally speaking, the term "deep state" refers to informal power structures within the state apparatus that work against the will of the people.

A new RX8 Gran Touring in 2009 was ~38k out the door, iirc.

I completed the purchase of one red new gran touring from Mazda, for delivery. The inventory was already taken, so they tried to swap a yellow and I cancelled. The next shipment was in another 8 months. Obviously, the internet RX8 community was active and I knew what was a reasonable pricing, at the time. I looked locally and I had a salvage checked out at Mazda. It was clean. As I mentioned, I sold it to a collector for 9k ~10 years later, as it was still in near-mint condition, regardless of the title status.
I hate WFH, but I love my employer.

I tend to go to a coffee shop most days for a few hours. Some days I'll go to a public library, or a co-working space.

As a young, single person, staying at home for 4-6 hours every day is soul sucking. I can see it being very appealing to anyone with a family, though.
I think part of it being a bad/corrupt test case means it doesn't have to be valid xz encoding. But I don't know if that even matters.
Those companies are famous for skullduggery.

They can secure the dominance of their offering against the open source competition for well under 500k a year. It's a no brainer.

What this might look like would be say, poorly discernable icons, clumsy UI design, or an unstable API that makes plugins constantly break. Large volumes of documentation that are inadequate or inaccurate in critical places, etc.

If I was malicious I'd pay someone to write otherwise functional code and bug fixes but make really user hostile decisions whenever possible.

We should be diligent for this in a few key projects. Tech companies could easily be doing this already.

Wow, really? Ten years ago, it was drilled into me to never send a password like that, especially since the server shouldn't have the plain version anyway (so no reason for the client to send it).

https://owasp.org/www-community/OWASP_Application_Security_F... says "Salted hash for transmitting passwords is a good technique. This ensures that the password can not be stolen even if the SSL key is broken."

I didn't want to believe you, but man, I just checked a few websites in the network inspector... and it seems like GMail, Hackernews, Wordpress, Wix, and Live.com all just sent it in plaintext with only SSL encryption :(

That's a bit disappointing. But TIL. Thanks for letting me know!
VCs don't have wealth, the people with money are called LPs or angels. I also don't know the particulars in this case, but they're usually pension funds rather than individual rich people.

(Which does mean VCs are stealing from pensioners by taking a lot of fees to invest in something worse than an index fund.)

One could argue that if you are at the stage of "provisioning a server", then you should be using something like Terraform or Pulumi, not configuration tools like the one I mentioned.

Anyway, for the specific case of "deploying to hetzner":

- ansible has a whole collection of modules for hetzner: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/hetzner/...

- For Nix, there is NixOps

- if no one in the team wants to learn any of that, Hetzner provides a CLI to interact with their whole cloud.

To repeat: the last thing I'd want from an application is to have its own deployment system.
Remember that the more you treat commit history as something to be read, the better these tools get. If you’re just jamming “-m” on `git commit` with nonsense like “fix bug”, “pr comments”, “ci”, then you’re going to have a bad time debugging with Git. Also, if you have mandatory squash and merge, congrats, you’re destroying history all the time that can help you debug things.

I think it's possible to appreciate a book as literature but not want to ever read it again. The Bluest Eye (for example) is a rare glimpse into the horrors of racism and sexism, especially as both intersect with standards of beauty. It's not a book I would pick up without a grade at stake though.

I think I would wonder about someone who actually likes it. It's a horrifying read.
Sure; but so long as the compiler error is silently discarded (as it is here), the configure script will assume landlock isn't available and never use it.
I was annoyed at first and iirc my ex-GF cut the corners, once I realized the put-hands-inside-edges-of-inverted-cover-and-grab-the-duvet-corners-and-pull-through method I've mellowed on them since it goes fairly quickly.
An opinion: I would say that they are what they are, and that people need to want to be helped. To me that would be someone to delegate work to that is clearly within their competencies but which is not 'growth work' that would requisite [negative] feedback. The question then becomes whether or not they remain an asset under those limitations.

If they are not an asset to the team/company, then I would be inclined to proceed down the 'improve or else' path, starting of course with informal but frank conversations / formal reviews about the specific shortcomings, with specific examples and specific ways similar situations should be handled in the future[0].

Otherwise it gets muddier, because there is conflicting interest between a 'happy' status quo where his/her growth is going to be kneecapped vs. potentially demoralizing them trying to force them to grow. Imo all you can really do there is be upfront at 1-on-1's and formal reviews.

A final point is that this behavior is not likely lost on the rest of the team: regardless of how the 'offender' is handled it is important to not let things fester. I've been part of more than one group where morale was wrecked because management was too concerned with being 'nice' to move on from problematic persons.

[0]Specifics are key here, not just for them but for you: if you can't distill down the desired corrections into actionables your subordinates aren't going to be able to either.

Sergiu Klainerman: The nonlinear stability of slowly rotating Kerr black holes

The full proof of the nonlinear stability of Kerr consists of five papers, three written in collaboration with Jeremie Szeftel, one in collaboration with Elena and Jeremie Szeftel and another supporting paper authored by Dawei Shen.

In my lecture I will describe the main architecture of the proof as well as some of the most important consequences.

From what I can determine, the books that kids are forced to read in high school are the books that their elders really loved; and often were not forced to read in high school.

Most every book I was forced to read I still hate enough that I'll never bother rereading it. I'm sure they're all great; they also weren't for me, not at that time.

Which is why the absolute last thing I'd ever do is assign anyone to read any of the books I love.

Yes, but don't forget that there are different kinds of sandboxes. SELinux never needs the cooperation of any program running on the system in order to correctly sandbox things. No change to Xz could ever make SELinux less effective.

Probably depends on how big it is, and what's around it, and how much water and what not.

If it's a relatively small area that was clear cut, the surrounding forest is likely to encroach pretty quickly. But unassisted, trees may grow too densely so you don't get a lot of thriving trees. Going in and picking many trees to keep and a handful to thin can help the ones you keep be healthy and grow well.

Most likely there are universities near you that can offer forestry advice tailored to your area.
What you're seeing is artificial constructs that give men and women all the "good" parts with none of the "bad" parts. People get all up in arms about the specifics, but the core of it is a very dangerous precedent where people stop even trying to relate to each other, because a machine can give them their perfect fantasy. It's a siren song that will eventually enslave them.

And yes, men and women have generally differing ideas of what the "perfect fantasy" is. Get over it. We're not rational beings, and we want what we want.
It never ceases to amaze me how great of lengths companies go to round securing the perimeter of the network but then have engineering staffs that just routinely brew install casks or vi/emacs/vscode/etc extensions.

Rust is arguably the programming language and/or community with the most secure set of defaults that are fairly impossible to get out of, but even at “you can’t play games with pointers” levels of security-first, the most common/endorsed path for installing it (that I do all the time because I’m a complete hypocrite) is:

https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install

and that’s just one example, “yo dawg curl this shit and pipe it to sh so you can RCE while you bike shed someone’s unsafe block” is just muscle memory for way too many of us at this point.
RAII is of course great but any language with a GC and proper exception handling can handle resources safely. Eg look at Java's try-with-resources statement which guarantees that the resource will be disposed safely if an exception is raised: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions...

You can build up quite resilient and resource-safe systems using these basic building blocks.
Many neurotic people know they (we) are neurotic and are working on it (getting counseling, meditating, etc). However, there is a genetic component to it, and despite their best efforts to manage the traits they will always more neurotic than the average bear.

But what's truly ironic is that some of this neuroticism is justified: we are in fact perceived negatively and organizations are in fact trying not to hire or get rid of us. And so our employment is only as good as our ability to mask. Which, as you might imagine, does not make it easier to not be neurotic.

But how many are still staying in Canada? US figures are low because after Europe it is one of hardest country to move to. I am from India, and what I see is that most indians who wish to emigrate choose Canada because it is currently the easiest country to migrate to (the requirements are lower because inhospitable weather and economy makes it unattractive for migrants and Canada needs labour). However, many indians, especially the better qualified ones, eventually hope to move to the US from Canada, and it is not their preferred destination.

Also, I do not agree that unaffordable housing prices and the fall in quality of healthcare can be attributed majorly to immigration. Flawed economic policies on real estate (allowing foreign investments, not considering rent control etc.) and cutting funds for socialised healthcare to push privatisation are bigger factors at play, in my opinion.

Exactly why it was chosen; a forest already scheduled to be clear-cut and the loggers didn't think you could do any serious harm to the wood, so why not go wild?

It's just like how some famous destructive bar fight scenes or other building-destroying scenes are just filmed in a building scheduled to be demolished anyway.
If you mean testing the "disable Landlock if the headers and syscalls are out of sync" functionality then I agree, workarounds for such corner cases are often not fully tested.

But it would have been enough here to have a test just to see that Landlock works in general. That test would have broken with this commit, because that's what the commit actually does - break all Landlock support.

Based on that it sounds like there wasn't a test for Landlock integration, if I've understood things correctly.

You can laugh out loud all you want, but there are mandatory parking minimums for bars across the USA.

Yes, bars have parking lots, and a lot of spaces.

The intent is to *drive* there, drink and maybe eat, and leave in some various state of drunkenness. Why else would the spacious parking lots be required?
Allegiance is not the same thing as a tendency. And the fact that one party uses smaller government as part of its sales pitch may not last forever.

In the U.S. I would say that Trump’s takeover of the GOP has generally de-emphasized smaller government as a plank of the party. He certainly doesn’t care about it.

Whether the bureaucrats lean towards one party or the other doesn’t change the fact that they aren’t compelled out of fear for their jobs to break the law at the president’s command.

I pretty sure I’ve never said that state governments have any inherent limits to their police powers. I think banning guns undoubtedly is within the states’ police powers. So is banning adultery, or gambling, or eating dinner after 8 pm.

But as I said above: “Those powers are only limited if there’s a state or federal constitutional right that prohibits that exercise of general police powers.”

Vis-a-vis the comment I was responding to above, if I want to say the government can’t take my guns, I have to affirmatively point to somewhere in the federal constitution or the state constitution that says that. (Luckily for me there’s a whole amendment about guns; guns don’t even have to share an amendment with other rights, like free speech which has a bunch of roommates in the first amendment.)

I also agree that if incorporation didn’t exist, states could ban guns notwithstanding the second amendment. And incorporation may well not exist, but that’s an argument for a different day.
