I don’t think so. Unless you get super high up, your pay increases proportionally to people under you. The next problem is that once you start cutting, you actually have to organize and manage. That’s way more difficult than saying “ I have hired x people”. I have been in countless discussions where management offered more people but whenever I told them the real problem is the process or another department not doing their job, I got silence.

It’s a more humorous “no true Scotsman”.
Is it nice to learn about the American or French Revolutions? Absolutely. But time is a limited resource and must be rationed according to each individual's needs.

Most people are far too busy living lives to have time to spare spelunking into tomes; they usually don't even understand what democracy actually is either, but they get by fine in life just the same.

The reality is no man can learn all there is to know, it's physically impossible and lines in the sand must be drawn. Given that, which side of the line a certain historical factoid lies will vary; some will consider the American Revolution important and some will not, and some will be indoctrinated by their society, all are fine.

Also, I'm going to cite the HN Guidelines here for your reference going forwards:

I think that is poorly worded. Reading the docs (https://flet.dev/docs/publish), much like Flutter, this compiles to an IPA for your own app that you can deploy.

I think they are referring to the Flet app shell that is the native shim for Flutter and Python.

> Trans people who wanted to assimilate and blend in have by and large been blindsided by the massive increase in scrutiny they've gotten from random people and increasingly lawmakers in the last few years in much of the western world, because some machinations of internet culture made the right wing start thinking about them a lot all of a sudden in the last decade.

The reason they're getting more scrutiny is because of the negative impact of pro-trans ideological policies on women's rights.

I can't speak for the US, but in the UK the turning point was a combination of two things: firstly, the right-wing Conservative government announcing that they were going to remove all barriers for anyone to change their "legal sex", with no medical diagnosis required at all. Secondly, press coverage, from news outlets across the political spectrum, of a male rapist incarcerated in a women's prison, who sexually assaulted several female prisoners there.

This caused an uprising of women, initially groups of left-wing feminists who most rapidly organised, to push back against this "gender self-id" policy proposal and against men in women's prisons. And then against the whole principle of males identifying themselves as female and being given special privileges because of this.

Only later on did right-wing groups take an interest in this as a division against the mainstream political left who were still very much in favour of these policies. Though we've just got a new centre-left Labour government and it seems likely now, based on what they said during the election campaign, that they're going to prioritise protecting single-sex spaces for women over the desires of males who demand to access them.

And this is because they've realised that they can't just unilaterally diminish women's rights and expect the electorate to follow along. The increased scrutiny worked.
Isn't it obvious that the way students are taught will have to change in the age of AI?

Schools should account for LLM use. In fact, schools should have an official LLM or sanctioned 3rd party LLMs that they allow students to use.
I think often the reason this happens is that the chosen examples[1] are just more advanced topics in disguise. Eg maybe you are given some group with a weird operation and asked to prove something about it, and the hidden thing is that this is a well-known property of semi-direct products and that’s what the described group is.

Two I remember were:

- In an early geometry course there was a problem to prove/determine something described in terms of the Poincaré disc model of the hyperbolic plane. The trick was to convert to the upper half-plane model (where there was an obvious choice for which point on the boundary of the disc maps to infinity in the uhp). There I was annoyed because it felt like a trick question, but the lesson was probably useful.

- in a topology course there was a problem like ‘find a space which deformation-retracts to a möbius strip and to an annulus. This is easy to imagine in your head: a solid torus = S1*D2 can contain an embedding of each of those spaces into R3. I ended up carefully writing those retractions by hand, but I think the better solution was to take the product space and apply some theorems (I think I’m misremembering this – product space works for an ordinary retraction but for the deformation retraction I don’t think it works. I guess both retract to S1 and you could glue the two spaces together along that, or use the proof that homotopy equivalence <=> deformation retracts from common space, but I don’t think we had that). I felt less annoyed at missing the trick there.

I've done that for testing async signal handlers, but the combinatorics are much more favorable there. If the base thread runs n instructions, you just need n runs through that run 0..n instructions before inserting the signal, and then the signal handler runs to completion and then so does the base thread. O(n^2) total time. But with t threads each with n instructions to run, and they can interrupt each other at any boundary...it's not approachable for reasonable values of n. You need to reduce by singling out the operations with interesting behavior and simulating, I think.
The thing is that researchers just have to come up with stuff that works, not stuff that is viable.

Funnily enough, בלינצעס blintses seems to be the native Yiddish plural, but if I’m to believe Wiktionary the English singular is blintz so might be a back-formation from it, because the Yiddish singular is בלינצע blintse.
Can you enlighten us on the costs you’re talking about?

Our former nanny came from a farm family. It was very interesting hearing her talk about various challenges of farm life - occasionally including high level costs/revenue.

Inspections were literally never mentioned. In fact, there was basically no talk of regulation. The only thing that came close was a business decision on the “standard” of product you raise. E.g. Free range captures higher dollar amount but has smaller throughput.

My impression is farming is extremely challenging for small farms because the margins are razor thin. Most meat products are essentially commodities and subject entirely to “market rates”. The only way to raise margins is to build a small, local brand.
It's ironic that you framed Google as the abusive provider there.
Creo (based in Vancouver, BC) used to be a company that tried to address this. The concept that was used was called "unit presidency". Each employee was empowered, expected, and trained, to make decisions as if they are the president of the company. The principles behind making decisions were called "economic thinking" which the CEO used to say was everything he learnt in a Harvard (EDIT: or maybe it was Stanford) MBA distilled into the core principles. Basically looking at the ROI (Return on Investment) of the decision. Decisions were generally made by consensus though depending on the nature of the decision sometimes other methods were used. This extended to decisions that involved spending money, not just should you pick language X or language Y for your next software project.

I think it worked pretty well for quite a few years. It gradually stopped working when the company acquired a large company with a different culture and also hired people (well, managers mostly) who weren't aligned with the culture. Eventually this basically disappeared when the company was acquired by Kodak.

I've seen flavors of this in other places. Famously Andy Grove of Intel also preached that decisions need to be made by those closest to the decision and empowered people to make the right decisions. More generally this can be reflected in a servant-leadership model where leadership sees itself as facilitating the growth of the people underneath them.

Another requirement for this to work well is that management (e.g. the CEO or other leaders) are able to lay down a broad strategy for the people of the company to execute on. If the leadership has no strategy then tactical decisions can not be made properly. They also need to make sure there's coordination and structure.

Possibly, but it's unusual for educational Math books to have dialogues. I think this video uses the dialogue very well here. I have an exceptional high school Physics book that is all dialogues, and I loved that too.

Audio is half art, half science. That's why I'd try to find someone with experience.

Back in university, I heard lectures on FFT and its applications to audio signal processing. So open access university courses would be the second place I'd look. The approach I always try first is to ask people I know if they can recommend a conference/meetup. For example, the annual JUCE events appear to be chock full with VST plugin developers. There's also private schools like SAE where you (or your employer) can pay for you to have an hour with one of their lecturers to ask questions.
Not always. For example if bringing a new product to market has the perception it might eat into existing revenue then all sorts of managment shenanigans will likely happen at most big orgs.

Not great to link a wiki covering many other countries outside of Africa without specifying What exactly your point is. I read it and none of it surprised me.

You do realize a great deal of the US meddling was prompted by USSR/Russian meddling, right? I’m not giving the US a pass by saying that, but the Cold War and threat of nuclear annihilation is a backdrop to many of these events.

I'm also not going to ignore the issues the countries within Africa deal with that have nothing to do with their past of imperialism or colonialism. I could point to India as a country that reformed into a modern successful nation post colonialism. Nor ought we ignore the vast amounts of financial aid given so often to these countries. It’s a tangled difficult problem.

Methamphetamine not only has a different volume of distribution, meaning it is distributed in tissues differently than amphetamine but methamphetamine also has much greater serotonergic activity which greatly impacts the effects.
I consider them both to be exploiting the status-quo. Apple and Google need to be punished for creating systems that exclusively benefit themselves at the direct expense of the user.

Another major problem occurs when mixing the first intention, to communicate for a specific audience, with a second, separate risk-management intention to control that receptivity and dial it to a resonant frequency. The first intention trusts and takes a high view of their integrity and of your own. The second does the opposite.

This is a really awkward attack for a couple reasons. In general, a malicious extension may have no way to tell whether a request was blocked — the origin if the request doesn’t belong to the extension authors, and the portion of the extension outside the sandbox won’t be told which requests were allowed. And, if too many requests are blocked apparently at random, the user may well notice.

It’s surely possible to sneak out some data, slowly, over a noisy channel, but it doesn’t sound straightforward.

Compare to actual manifest V3, where exfiltrating the keys to the kingdom appears to be entire trivial as long as the extension doesn’t try to block ads.
The anode is the part of the battery that ions flow to when charging the battery. To save weight as much as possible, you can imagine a case where the anode is only the ions that moved to the anode. This is what "anode-free" means. When the battery has charge, there will be some sodium metal as the anode. When the battery is fully discharged, there will be no anode, because the sodium has moved into the cathode.

As I understand it, the C spec defines what are valid programs, and for valid programs, either specifies what their observable side effects must be, or leaves them either unspecified or implementation defined. Importantly, programs with undefined behaviour are excluded from the class of valid programs; thus the spec imposes no requirement on the resulting behaviour. To quote,

> Permissible undefined behavior ranges from ignoring the situation completely with unpredictable results, to […]

And I think this is where “can’t happen” comes in: in the case of undefined behaviour, the compiler is free to emit whatever it pleases, including pretending it cannot happen!
It's not a dupe.

"I commissioned a professional voice actor to give a full dramatic reading of that blog post."
I think the author missed the point.

Incompetent management is where the leadership sees management as a line of business vs a role. Places that operate that way tend to latch on to micromanage finance and accounting. When organizations operations or development teams are run by the CFO, only bad things can happen because the CFO’s incentives are not aligned.

I ran a large line of business for a big government agency during the pandemic and faced a similar issue. Government bureaucracy is not typically associated with visionary leadership. However, faced with this conundrum, I called the CEO equivalent and said “We need this.” (In so many words), and later that afternoon we were moving along with critical procurements.

Competent management has tight process controls to prevent waste. But the leadership is the head and the process the tail. If a VP (or whatever) is slave to some bean counter in accounting, that VP cannot achieve her mission. Leadership means we follow the process, but have the ability to act.

In smaller orgs, much less formality and lighter process makes more sense. You don’t want to be running romper room, but the processes required to run a global company like Exxon or JPMC is

How is it flawed logcally? Seems perfectly correct to me. Although I'd agree it's a bit over-literal. As if the emotional workings of the human mind can be precisely reasoned about (i.e. precisely enough to say "always").

Regardless, I've experienced this effect a lot when writing design docs. Iteration and objective criticism on a tangible thing (a doc) is an extremely effective way to see the problem from all sides.

What are strategies for achieving consistent productivity?
I have fairly regular bouts of attention deficit filled with youtube, games, in-depth research of mostly useless things. These episodes could last a couple of weeks.
After that I typically have a couple of weeks of productive work - working much longer hours that I should, researching useful things, pushing work project forward and over-delivering. For every two inattentive weeks I typically get a one week over attentive time. I work with smart people of challenging things but this hasn't impacted my career - I still get good reviews as my output during productive weeks compensates for the non-productive weeks. This isn't a question on how to survive my 9-5 but how to achieve top performance.
I've been diagnosed with adhd and would like to try alternatives to drugs.
Why though? Flutter was built for Dart and, while not my favourite language, it does that job very well. When the major drawback of all multi-platform frameworks tends to be performance, how does using a much slower, non-compiled language improve things?
> This particular video was of a fatal car crash.

An uncle of mine died in a car crash, in the late 80s / early 90s. The first thing my father did was drive for hours, to the place where the crash happened, and film. He then went and filmed the car wreck with its blood stains and grass stuck between the tires and the rims. A 230 km/h // 140 mph+ crash: driver lost control.

And although he could barely speak while filming he warned us in the video that this was what would happen to us if we were to act like idiots on the road.

And he, of course, forced us to watch that vid. Immediately and then a few more times at regular intervals months/years later. Best road safety lesson we ever got.

Every single person I ever crossed on the road in my life can thank my father for filming and forcing me to watch that vid.

At times there are very smart families who do allow the publication of videos of crashes where a family member died and say it's to act as a warning as to what may happen when you drive drunk/intoxicated/crazy.

It should be outlawed that families may decide that these vids are not publishable. It happened on public roads: it should be public material, as a warning to the public.

That these are not allowed on social media is criminal for these vids are the best lessons kids / teenagers can ever get when it comes to road safety.

And it is delusional to think that kids/teenagers watch that for morbid reasons: they watch such vids because their survival instinct want to make sense of what's happening.

"If you act like that, you'll kill people and/or die" is quite the lesson.
