Who is doing the marooning though - the owners, or the various authorities randomly nearby when the owner abandons them?

The authorities doing anything besides arresting the owners is just enabling more owners doing the same thing and dumping the mess on their doorstep. Bad policy.

Do CEOs have much responsibility though? I've only ever seen them punished when they've done something intensely illegal and even then they get off for lighter crimes usually.

Golden handshakes mean if they move on they win. They can practically suck a company dry & move on to another one thru MBA social circles.

Car Thing was only a remote for your phone's Spotify app. It was targeted towards people that had bluetooth or aux inputs to their car's stereo, but not Apple CarPlay or Android Auto that allowed you to control Spotify directly through the radio.
A central processing unit is a term that predates using the lithographic process for microprocessors. I have documentation trying to describe the signal processing of early inertial guidance system. The documents describe all the input and output be routed to what they call a central processing unit.

This unit contained many boards but centralized the signal routing to single area and could be processed in a sequence.
It is different than a passive encyclopedia. For good and for bad, it goes right to the core to what you want to know. You can jump to the conclusion of a paper instead of going all through it, or get just what you need for the problem or question you want to solve. Some of the inefficiencies of the old model had their side benefits.

But having a tutor or teacher to actually interact with have also important benefits. It is not a lesson for a class of who knows how much students, but for you and you in particular. You may be missing some other student questions, but to have freedom to ask, without social pressure, without worrying about time, or even for old topics that may or not be related to the current one, may be a big improvement.

The next question we should ask ourselves is what would be now the role of libraries, teachers and teaching institutions in this landscape. What are the cracks in this new teaching model that they can adapt to to fulfill?
Those comments are nice to read. I tried, but my coworkers are too "young" or from other generation, I guess. The response [about simply buying a book] was "Oh, another person said it wasn't needed [to buy a book about that] since it will always be behind newer versions coming"...

This is the main point, and almost all the other chatter is not particularly relevant. A dumb computer and a human can agree with "files are case sensitive and sometimes that's a bit weird but computers are weird sometimes". If there was indeed exactly one universal way to have case insensitivity it would be OK. Case insensitive file systems date from when there was. Everything was English and case folding in English is easy. Problem solved. But that doesn't work today. And having multiple case folding rules is essentially as unsolvable a problem as the problems that arise from case sensitivity, except they're harder for humans to understand, including programmers.

Simple and wrong is better than complicated and wrong and also the wrong is shoved under the carpet until it isn't.

Though you still ought to declare a Unicode normalization on the file system. Which would be perfectly fine if it weren't for backwards compatibility.

I reject the invitations too, but the fact is that they exist, there are (many) people who do them, the papers are published, they come up in searches, and the whole thing becomes a muddy mess.

Most people say “we’ll just don’t read/cite them” but the fact is that there is no clear red line; it’s all foggy. In order to look at a paper and say “I will not read you because you are crap” you need to spend some time with it, and if you have 2000 of them, that translates to a lot of wasted time. The reason why journals are supposed to do serious peer review was exactly so that we don’t have to do it ourselves.

Is there a tool that could convert OSM map into a perspective view from a given location? And show what peaks and notable buildings are visible?
It has seemed strange to me that some nicer restaurants that seem to care for every other detail of the experience have held onto this as long as they have. Many QR menus are pretty terrible from a UX point of view regardless of whether it “cheapens the experience” in a less tangible way. At a basic functional level I find that my brain can keep the location of a few items I’m considering and want to “glance between” in memory on a physical menu, but not with a digital menu (particularly given that scrollbars as a visual cue have been pushed aside over time).

One circumstance where I do love QR code menus is with a big casual group at a brewery type place that has unique QRs per table so you can just order straight from the menu, pay, and have things come out. This is a great experience that solves a bunch of annoying issues when the gathering is not specifically a meal but instead involves people coming early or late and ordering disparate items. It improves a lot over the longstanding “order at the counter and take a stick with a number” model.

Show HN: Bin CLI – A simple task/script runner for any programming language
Most projects I've worked on included a bunch of scripts for common tasks (installing dependencies, starting/stopping dev servers, testing and deploying changes, and so on). There are a few tools designed for this, such as Just (https://just.systems/) and Task (https://taskfile.dev/), and I know some people use Make as a task runner (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40333481), but I've always preferred the simplicity and universality of shell scripts.

Bin CLI is a tool I wrote to add some of the niceties of these tools to shell scripts: it works even when you're currently in a subdirectory, only requires you to type enough of the command (script) name to uniquely identify it, and allows aliases to be defined. It also allows a project's commands to be listed (along with some help text), supports subcommands, and supports tab completion of command names. Of course scripts can be written in other languages too, just by adding the appropriate shebang.

Collaborators/contributors who don't have Bin CLI installed can just run the scripts directly - so I can enjoy the benefits without adding a hard dependency or extra barrier to entry. However, I also added support for defining one-liner scripts/aliases in a config file (much like "npm run" scripts are defined in package.json) for times when I want to avoid creating many trivial/wrapper scripts for common tasks.

It is implemented as a single Bash script, with minimal dependencies, small enough to keep in my Dotfiles repo (62 KB). I also made .deb and .rpm packages so it can easily be installed system-wide.
I can't speak for this website specifically but Cloudflare makes it pretty easy to geolocate users based on request headers.
This is a list of disrespectful, disconnected mix of facts and fictions which has flimsy grounding in reality and doesn’t address the main question I was asking, but I will engage in good faith.

> As you may know the story Shivas Phallus was cut by Indra, and now Hindus Worship the fallen penis of their deity from puranas being cut by another deity of the vedas. What kind of person would write such stories and then go ahead and worship the fallen penis of its god?

No normal Hindu knows or believes in this story. This is the first I have heard of it. Remember, only Vedas/Upanishads/Gita count as core scripture. Also, any religion will have a lot of conflicting stories that neither the lay populace nor scholars consider seriously.

> Why Buddhas face on this claimed shivalinga

How? I didn't know you had a photo of Buddha to say that is Buddha's face. Also, why does Buddha have three faces? Wasn't he human? (Tip: most ancient statues look alike facially)

> Claimed as shivalinga, can you explain why the buddhas hand mudra

Those mudras predate Buddha's birth by centuries.

> Is this shivas face on his own phallus? https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/38242

No, Hindu considers the lingam to be a real phallus. I guess the mind sees what it wants to see. I don't understand how you went to eating a phallus from the image. Not every cylinder is a phallus.

Hinduism is fluid due to accommodating scientific inquiry, I will let Sagan and Schopenhauer do the talking here. Because of this scientific/open nature, it has to be fluid. You will see names and stories change depending on current culture, language, events as stories and names are merely symbolic (Rudra -> Shiva is not the damning attack you think it is).

> “The Hindu religion is the only one of the world’s great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths.
It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond to those of modern scientific cosmology. Its cycles run from our ordinary day and night to a day and night of Brahma, 8.64 billion years long. Longer than the age of the Earth or the Sun and about half the time since the Big Bang.”

― Carl Sagan, Cosmos

The point I'd make is you'd more need to find out why people who don't use Discourse (instead of fora) don't. The reason surely has little to do with the non-forum-like functions that appeal to those who do like it.

Having said which, finding out is obstructed by the fact that very few organisers offer users both.
> “One of the biggest lessons in management over the last decade is that micromanagement is bad. But I think this is an anti-pattern, because it creates disengaged and context-free leadership"

Alternative from my experience, it creates trust. If you want employees to trust leadership, leadership needs to trust its employees. Simple as that.

Leadership needs to be clear on what its asking from their employees, but that means clear goals and specifications with context for why it matters.

At the end of the day every employee is different. Its a mistake to assume one approach will work for everyone, but the idea of leaning into micromanaging as the way feels really misguided IMO, unless you want the kind of culture that promotes.

How is it that this article was on the HN frontpage for an hour with lots of upvotes and comments and then suddenly just jumped straight down to position 150?
Yes, I think academics are susceptible to defining themselves by their work, truly being to devoted to their subject and it's open ended so you can spend as much time as you choose on it.

I think these things can all be true in industry though. I say this as an industry researcher myself that has struggled with work/life balance my whole career. In the more soul destroying industry jobs hopefully you can at least clock out at 5pm and pay attention to other interests, i.e. you don't have to care about work outside of work hours.

I actually think it's more to do with the person than the job though. It's about how much you value work/career achievements and recognition vs family vs hobbies. Caveat: some people genuinely have to work unreasonable amounts of hours to put food on the table for their family and that's unfortunate.
Only because Microsoft was asleep at the switch for years beforehand, allowing Firefox to establish a beachhead. Not long after Chrome launched and mobile phones grew in importance (~2010), Firefox was in steady decline.

My argument is that short of ballots and anti-trust enforcement, nothing could have stood against three chokepoint-holding and well resourced competitors.
It is very cheap and easy. Even the free versions of the database available from maxmind are plenty accurate for town level.

If you have to say…
I get that engineers have general beef with management "techniques" of any kind—the whole concept feels manipulative and/or hand-wavy—but the comments in this article are disappointing and not really up to what I expect from HN. Multiple people read the section headings (which are absolutely provocative, unnecessarily so) and decided correctly they'd get lots of internet points for writing "summaries" that are actually just caricatures of the worst management practices they could imagine someone recommending under that section heading.

The article honestly isn't that bad and has a number of interesting points to make. I recommend reading it rather than just dismissing it out of hand because of caricatures in the HN comments.
Why isn't lot of information just inside the project repositories for open source projects? It is text thus space it takes is trivial. At least if images are not needed. It would be versioned so stay in relatively sync with versions of code at time. FAQ and basic configuration things for commonly asked questions could be easily be stored in documents. Why is this not being done? Wouldn't it be trivial amount of work?
A bunch of the people in my groups have been college students fwiw. It's been a complete mix of young people and experienced people. Doing it over the internet helps you cast the wide net. When you do it with only your direct friends or coworkers it can be much tougher, or hit or miss.

Though I'm surprised they kept the wood beams. They would look cool on their own, but they look stupid right next to the I-beams.
Thanks. I was also in the discussion. When CLIPS is used as an expert system shell, then performance comparisons are pretty restricted. But since you have seemed to use it more for "indexing" and "caching", which is a domain shared by other interpreters used for the web, a performance comparison seems more feasible, especially if you already have implemented such features with other interpreters as well.

Our group of 40+ old farts uses Discord exclusively, because we can do it all under the same roof.

Want to chat about stuff, we've got a few channels just to keep them contained (one for each RPG campaign we're playing and separate ones for the few PC games we have time for).

Need to chat during an online game? Discord has video and voice chat as well as screen sharing.

Want to keep a log of a RPG campaign? You can do a "forum" post about it after every session, it's all there in a nice format under the same platform.

When we play online games, like Helldivers 2, everyone can use Discord for voice even when I play with PS5 and the others are PC players. Discord works cross-platform.
I'm pretty convinced that the majority of these people actually "know" that they are asserting claims that they wish are true instead of actually true.

The evidence is that if you challenge them with the actual facts, they sometimes don't accuse you of being factually wrong, instead they accuse you of wishing the other way (i.e. being on the other camp).
I seen a job posting for the FBI that blatantly stated you will work well over 40 hours a week, and all but made clear your job will be your life. So, yeah, it's not a job for someone that wants work/life balance.

That’s because you were expected to read the manual, and then afterward ask your question. That reduced the number of questions and it’s more likely to have an answer. The forum was an extension to to the manuals (for isolated cases) and a window to how the software/project is being used in the real world.

Look at the VIM help as an example of great manual. Or the GNU software documentation. Now, you see “Join our Discord” instead.
The summary bears almost no relation to the actual article content.

The article is essentially arguing that the common management advice that circulates in our industry has caused too many engineers-turned-managers to pivot too far in the opposite direction from the caricature that OP created above, to the point where they've reached another ineffective part of the manifold of possible management styles. It argues that there's a space between OP's caricature and the traditional, ineffective engineering manager/executive and that in that space they can have real impact.

"Induced demand" as a reason not to do something is illogical.

The Green Revolution increasing crop yields induced demand for humans. Metro systems existing and building new lines induce demand, in some cases resulting in overcrowding. Building housing and offices induce demand in a location.

There is nothing wrong with improving a thing so that more people are able to do that thing.

I can understand concern about emissions without necessarily agreeing. But induced demand is simply a good thing - you are allowing more people to realise their desires.
I've been to restaurants like this. I have to download an app, or navigate a mobile website to order food and pay: it's a terrible customer experience. It's not convenient, it's not pleasant. If I wanted an impersonal and unfriendly experience, completely mediated through an app, I could just stay home and order Doordash.

I think somebody must have made a bundle selling this kind of system to restaurants during COVID, and during an extreme situation like that, it may have seemed like a solution. But afterwards, it's just a strike against the restaurant. To me at least.

>No, QR codes is one possible solution to the problem of changing menus, and having to reprint all the time

And because QR codes can be used like that that prevents how that restaurant try to use it for what the article said?

If you read the other comments here then it definitely happened like the article said.

That's like saying companies don't use Excel as a database application because it's a spreadsheet.
NB: based on some quick searches, it seems that low-metalicity Pop III stars would rely on the pp (proton-proton) fusion chain. That's going to slow reaction somewhat, and extend lifetime. But for high-mass stars with only a few millions of years expected lifetime in a Pop I/II class, that's ... still a relatively modest difference compared to the several hundred million year lifespan of the early Universe.

Or am I missing something?
It's interesting how the pins differ between motherboard manufacturers, which suggests they didn't copy Intel's reference schematics completely or used different revisions of them.

They used to publish the reference schematics on their site up until the P4 era, but I guess it made things like this too easy.
Discord isn’t the right tool for a knowledge base, but it’s great for communities. I run several servers but I wouldn’t recommend it for developer projects.
I think the key is more to ask yourself what it is you're abstracting away and whether the two things are actually doing the same thing. Just because the code is "shaped" in the same way (as in the article) doesn't mean it's actually conveying the same idea. If they're not really the same then the abstraction won't make sense and will just make things messier down the road.

It's the same thing as naming constants, but with code. If I have 3 `10` magic numbers in my code, I don't just immediately abstract them into a `const ten = 10` because they look the same, I abstract them into constants based on their actual purpose.
