This isn't really an Eisenhower thing.

Eisenhower's approach, as both a general and president, was to assemble a very good staff and delegate, while monitoring how things were going. Staff, not line. Line managers in the military are unit commanders at various levels. Staff officers, derided though they tend to be, are extensions of the commander for whom they work. They have to be very competent but less ambitious than line commanders.

"The Hidden-Hand Presidency" (1982) is the best overview of how Eisenhower got things done. Eisenhower was probably the only person ever to be overqualified for the US presidency. Holding the Allied coalition together while winning WWII in Europe was a tougher job. As president, he was fairly relaxed and not overworked, while accomplishing an incredible amount.

He wasn't as laid back as people thought at the time. He wrote clear, incisive directives for his staff and Cabinet. It took a long time before Eisenhower's work was properly analyzed, partly because the Eisenhower Library is in Abilene, Kansas, and few historians wanted to spend a few years there going through the files.
This is mindblowing. Perhaps the most elegant RPC system I’ve seen.

But then you don't have any of the big streaming services, so it's not really an alternative to Roku.

You'll need to do a little more legwork to replace them.

In that case, bug report!

Three times now I've been going along and after 5 or 6 back and forth it just starts ignoring all commands, long pause, lots of dots, then nothing.

Sadly no errors in the console. :(
> not to share them but to avoid that godawful Audible app

It’s sad how true that is for many things these days. I usually download shows to have them in Plex even though I have many paid streaming accounts. Just because it’s a better UX and it also automatically scrobbles to Trakt.tv.
Would you buy a boilerplate for electron.js apps?
Saw a lot of people struggling to integrate things like shadcn components or even react into electron and was thinking of publishing a boilerplate.

For reference I recently went through all of these struggles while building https://first2apply.com

Seeing the success of other boilerplate projects like https://shipfa.st/ there seems to be a need for them in different tech stack and electron doesn’t have one yet.

The stack I used for f2a is:
- electron.js (obviously)
- electron forge to run builds
- auto-updater
- react
- tailwind css
- shdcn components
- supabase for auth + db + edge functions to run custom backend code
- nextjs for landing page
- blog project also built using nextjs with proper SEO
- stripe for accepting payments (subscriptions)

Some other points worth mentioning:
- it also supports email confirmation + forgot password functionality via deep links
- I deployed f2a to the MS store and would include docs on how to do that (the appx built was a pain in the ass to figure out)

So bottom line is you would buy a batteries included boilerplate to start a SaaS with electron (landing page, blog, actual electron app)

Thinking about pricing it at 199$.
I guess this depends on location.

I work in Finland and in all the jobs I've hard for Finnish companies they've either offered to pay for a new phone for me, or offered to pay my phone bill if I kept my personal phone.

Generally I don't actually do anything work-related on my phone, I just use Duo and Okta apps for logins, and have a 2FA application for some site-specific logins.
I got better things to burn my neurons on than memorization. I normally forget almost everything, only remember abstract stuff. Maybe it's because I have used web search for 25 years that I learned to remember the good search keywords rather than actual information. Is this like relying on maps for navigation instead of pure memory?
This is what I use, although it's obvious the enshittification has started with the terrible adverts across the top of the screen.

I have the 2nd gen, so there were no adverts when I first purchased it.
Ahhh yeees, the Ryanair strategy. Everyone's absolute favorite airline.

How do i know you are being transparent with the surcharge? What if you add 2% for a card payment when your actual overhead is only 1%. I suspect this is the reason why EU made these type of schemes illegal many years back. It just creates bad incentives for stores to add random fees everywhere.

How do you even calculate the processing fee of cash on a single transaction? A lot of comment here seem to assume cash is free, when in fact you need a safe, take time to go to the bank, security transfers, counting it, and so on.
It is about being checked out.

Remind me again, why do people connect their TV to the Internet? I used to work in the space more than a decade ago, and even then the privacy invasions most major brands did were inexcusable.
Absolutely false.

I pay a pretty penny to not see ads. My daughters don’t either. Social discussion on school reveals they miss a LOT of ads.
I’ve never encountered this. I’ve had managers who were promoted into incompetence, but they were still present and doing their best. I can’t imagine how someone would keep their job if they weren’t doing it… The teams I’ve worked on would almost all express concern to their manager’s manager that they weren’t getting the structure, support, and direction they need from their manager. It couldn’t last long.
Honestly, any manual tagging is still too much work. Jellyfin would be a better Plex alternative if it got this right
We've had excellent experience with slack (~120 users). Outages and incidents happen but have never shut us down. We built our business operations on slackbots and it works. It's not problem free, and slack is absolutely not innovative, but it's been solid for us since 2014.
Plasma is a "unicorn field"? Explain how its replicated in a lab. Have interstellar clouds been observed in space? Is there a possibility that we are not able to observe all interstellar clouds in space? Has "dark matter" been replicated in a lab?
I'm curious about the project's early designers; could they foresee the current impact of satellite constellations on earth-based observations? How might it have influenced the system design and/or planned operations?
You are right that they currently don't create core sets any more. I wouldn't be surprised if they change their mind /again/ in the future.

But the same could have been done by investing into infrastructure (or hiring more teachers, etc). In fact, this has been done in the past. We still drive on a lot of highways built during the New Deal era (and some of which are now crumbling).

This is a fantastically myopic view on amazon.

> They can barely deliver stuff that isn't scuffed up and damaged.

Get probably a dozen orders every week that are just fine

> Prime Video borders on almost unusable.

Umm, okay. Never had this problem.

> They still sell Kindles without USB-C.

Kindle oasis eh?

>> Currently unavailable.
>> We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock.

> Their customer service is impossible to get a hold of now, as you are blocked by an inane "AI" chatbot. I've done their Amazon Day shipping, and they just toss a bunch of heavy stuff in a big box with (literally) a single piece of paper of "packing material".

Never really had this problem. Though when I've gotten an underpacked delivery they've fixed it.

> I'm still a bit chaffed by the interview I had with them. They acted like their principles made everything they touch turn to gold, whereas I can't name an Amazon product that I'm impressed by the technology or even process.

Did this really happen? Because there are a whole lot of reasons to hate Amazon, but EC2 really isn't one of them. And Amazon is a literal career springboard for everyone I've known.

To add to this, I made it all the way through the Canonical process. Which was a bit more involved than being “chaffed at a single interview”. Because if the first interview chaffs you, just wait until you get to 4 or 6.

I can proudly say, I know nothing more about Canonical’s overreaching principles and process than I would have had just farting around in the news. So I believe you are full of it.
Best thing I have read, probably for years (outside of books). The insight here is brilliant. It doesn’t necessary help you get out of the bogs really, but for that a therapist might help. The lede is “brushing your teeth”. So much of life working depends on varieties of this.

Dubai is a good counter example, yes. In Turkey for example are just leaving people, Russia lost 1 million people last year.

Also developed seems for you a very low bar then? Russia is a very poor country,not very developed.

2. It covers a wide range of programming languages and scenarios, enhancing its comprehensiveness.

3. The dataset's diversity, with 2,000 pairs across various domains, stands out for testing model versatility.

4. Comparative analysis of models like GPT-4 on metrics such as cost and latency is highlighted.

5. This resource serves as a valuable tool for understanding and improving language model interactions with code.
> People just want the money.

I cannot imagine doing a job just for the money myself; I rather sleep under a bridge (probably not really but luckily I don’t have that issue).

I just cannot belief it’s true; people here whine about tech all the time and updating to the latest stuff etc while you can make 250-350/hr doing CRUD in Java + Oracle in enterprises with knowledge you hardly have to update for the past two decades. If you are really in it ‘only for the money’, you have a Delaware company, cayman accounts, live in dubai and you do multiple boring crud jobs for Fortune 500 companies that require no learning with max income and you invest that money in ETFs. You don’t build your own business (very large chance of failure aka wasted no-money time) or you build one by talking your vc friend in investing in you so there exists no waste. And you don’t wait to get fired, you try continuously to find more higher paying and easier stuff and just do it concurrently. In most boring non tech companies with 100k+ employees no one will notice you underperform as that is the norm.
Yes Bali was the next gen architecture and incredibly scalable. It consisted of many different chips connected together in a network that could scale. The R chip was so big existing tools couldn't handle it and ppl were writing their own tools. As a result it was very expensive to tape out so many hefty chips and I think that's why when it came time, and with a financial crisis, upper management pulled the plug.

Yes there were separate teams working on the lower-end graphics.
Good list.

Add to this: initiate failover or zone transfer of distributed servers / services to other DCs outside the likely impacted area.
I’ve used Claude and I’m not impressed. Opus or the other one.
The 10x developers don't exist. You can get somebody off a days experience to write a couple lines of code, so there's no skill involved in it.
They do indeed relay your query. How else would they work?
They’re not even lying, usually. They just don’t have the expertise to tell the customer exactly what they can’t have. That’s why you have sales people.

Ouch, I like to think it's the other way around.
No encryption; security through expensivity. A major developed nation would be the only candidate with enough resources to build something to communicate with Voyager. But to what end?

Voyagers are sent commands using the DSN, which is in high demand: https://arstechnica.com/space/2023/08/nasas-artemis-i-missio...

They need big radios (the biggest!) because the signal strength coming back from the probes these days are very weak, only one-tenth of a billion-trillionth of a watt.
Which one? I see no mention of Apple blocking notarization of the app.
Scanning groceries is a non-problem, so the actual problem Amazon is trying to solve is: employing people.

It's absolutely wild, yet unsurprising, that they tried to solve it by employing less well paid people. The Amazon future is mechanical turks all the way down.

I wonder how fast something like Forth-style direct threaded code could be on Apple silicon.
That is great, George. You didn't have to comment either though ;)
>I cannot imagine doing a job just for the money myself

Realistically, this is the source of 90% of misery in developed nations. It is logistically impossible for even half of all people to have jobs they enjoy so much it doesn't make them at least somewhat miserable doing it 40 hours a week.
I find the challenge is not putting things you want to do in “urgent and important” to justify the decision you’ve already made.
The main motivation is reduce serialization errors, for applications that can handle the weaker isolation level. Especially for applications that were previously running fine under RC on another database.
> Nobody is going to review test, it was just generated by automake, right?

Well, there's your problem. If you have unreviewed code, anything can be snuck in. Doesn't really matter too much where in your system the unreviewed code is.

> It's normal to have uncommitted autogenerated unreadable shell code in the tarball.

You need to review everything that goes into the tarball. Either directly, or indirectly by reviewing the sources it gets built from. (And then making sure that your build process is deterministic, and repeated by a few independent actors to confirm they get the same results bit for bit.)
For those like me (I never used Windows) who do not know WiX; https://wixtoolset.org/.
That's very cool, I didn't know they did that.

Odd they call us `humans`, and also a bit that it doesn't say who it's named after.
It depends what you mean by a "normal telescope" (all telescopes used for astronomy are designed for specific tasks/roles, even if that's not called out in public-facing material as much). LSST is not the first large scale optical survey (and previous telescopes have chosen to have a wide field of view, but they've been quite small in comparison), and there are tradeoffs to trying to use such a large field of view (e.g. having to correct for lots of distortions, both in the design of the optics, and in software), but because of the large collecting area (being a 8-meter class telescope), you can go much fainter faster (and with higher signal to noise) than a 1-meter class telescope that has the same field of view. Wikipedia has a bit about what makes LSST special (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_C._Rubin_Observatory#Comp...). I don't know when they're going to start observations, but I suspect there'll be loads of announcements of cool new transients soon after.
Are there really a lot of 250-350/hr jobs building crud apps for enterprises? Where is this market drawing from?
Do you have a link to share on that?

I'm aware that Atlantic and mid-American quakes are felt over a much wider area than Left-coast temblors, because of the more-intact, less-fractured, largely limestone and granitic foundation bedrock (as opposed to a largely fractured sedimentary basement along the Pacific seaboard). But is the actual shaking intensity greater? AFAIU that's mostly affected by factors such as ground liquifaction, total ground water, and the like, which tend to be fairly strongly localised in effect. E.g., you can find seismic hazard maps of the SF Bay Area which show high-risk regions, largely on fill, reclaimed marsh, and sand dunes (e.g., the Marina, Financial District, SOMA, Sunset and Richmond districts of San Francisco), as opposed to bedrock (Twin Peaks, Potrero Hill). The former all amplify ground movement, the latter tend to shake far less.

River bottom land and estuaries on the East Coast would similarly show higher seismic motion, but I'm not sure this carries over for the region as a whole.
Read my original comment.
Oh man, me as well! I miss those reports, it was a great way to see what was going on in the nation. I used to have a 4 year archive of every PDF, but lost it in a USB drive failure. I've not found anything else like it. Thanks for a few good years Obama.
That is going to be really hard (impossible?) to monitor for billing purposes. Basically would have to resort to self reporting/honor system.
I often search for titles containing very specific acronyms or abbreviations (which I would expect to be high precision low recall); Google's first response lately is usually a search based on a "correction" of these to a more common search, presumably because they are biasing to low precision high recall. (eg band names, even at hamming distance, will shadow maths structures)

Clicking again on my original query, or liberal use of quotation marks, then does the trick, but it's annoying af. Maybe there's a setting somewhere for "show me the results of my query first, not the 'did you mean' first"?

EDIT: upon reflection, the problem is that I use Google in an early XXI manner: if I've been someplace before I use the URL bar, and it's for places I haven't been, that aren't common knowledge, that I want a search engine. There was a time when Google was optimised for this use case, and although that time is long past (in particular, no one buys ads for my queries), the annoyance is recent because now they actively pessimise.
Yes, and to amplify, part of the utility is in its ability to observe transient phenomena. As we have been able to do more large-scale surveys, and scan the resulting images with transient detection software, we have observed a lot of surprises. LSST is designed to step that up by a lot.

Which of these strategies does Postgres use under Repeatable Read?
It's not that easy to do Java+enterprise CRUD job. Even though there might not be much to learn technically, you will be expected to learn about functional/business rules related to the application. ERP software can be one of the most complicated soul sucking job. It is in here where stuff gets tough, in that you have to deal with legacy codebase, poorly documented rules, bug would have become feature etc.

If you don't bring more value to the table and just coast off without learning anything, you will not get hike and effectively be taking demotion year after year. You will not have any bargaining power since they can replace you with a new grad anytime.
A key point to remember about evacuation situations: it's not just the dangers you'd face by remaining in place during such an order, but the risks en route, both by the initiating emergency and the increased traffic flow. Bugging out earlier can be a huge factor in avoiding inconvenience, injury, or death.
Not sure if old news or something new has come up.

Wow. I came here to the comments to write about Copernic! It was a super valuable tool in the pre-Google era, heck even in the early 2000s.
An alternative view, power companies point the finger at drones for outages or fires. Look the other way when people are stealing pennies. When the billion dollar bill comes in, hand it off to the police. Let them identify the operator, and put them on the hook for damages.

Convenience and coercion - they don't want to fiddle with external devices just to watch a movie/show, and streaming services deliver content at a higher quality to these locked-down devices. Had this talk with my parents recently, privacy is infinitely less relevant to them compared to the ease of use.
If you are using an ATV or Chromecast, why would you connect your TV itself to the network at all?
Even in Europe I got those amounts for those types of jobs; I don’t do them anymore as I don’t like them anymore (when I started out it was interesting and sometimes challenging work, now it’s just crud; I can dream up those things without effort), but if you have a bit of a network of enterprise management types, you can get more and more of those gigs. Usually departmental apps which every dep will have done ‘their own way’ (which means it’s all the same but built from scratch every time).
configure is slow enough, but autoreconf is awwwwfullll. Obviously most people don't need to run it that often, but even right now I'm working on a project where I'm making a lot of related-but-separate changes that I want in different commits. So I have three commits at the top of my branch right now, and I'm constantly writing a bunch of code, then using 'git add -p' to stage some parts of it, but not all, and then amending one of those three commits. The second commit has some changes to configure.ac, so every time I amend the commit before it, the timestamps change, and the makefile believes configure is older than configure.ac and that autoreconf needs to be rerun.

Although I guess I could just follow my commit amend with a 'touch configure' (and maybe a 'find . -name Makefile -exec touch \{\} \;' for good measure) and that might solve the problem...
Thought this behavior was limited to iOS/devices, but after working for a while on a Mac, eventually got same results. Guessing it's just system latency.
