These types of articles/posts are why children in Gaza starve. Hamas weaponized the suffering/life of Gazan children as part of its war against Israel. The Israeli government enabled that by destroying Hamas civilian capabilities without setting up new ones instead. They send truckloads of food and brag about the large numbers as a "counterpoint" (more than pre-war shipments) and then those get raided once they're inside Gaza.

This is a war that is still ongoing for "likes". Hamas refuses to make a hostage deal which could end everything because of this type of reporting. Social media activism is once again killing people in the real world.

The problem with this setup is that having the idea is only the starting point. You will need to iterate, talk to customers, improve the solution for years while you learn more about the market.

Even if the idea is truly good all the value is in the execution and acting on non obvious information from your customers. Anyone who isn’t committed to this long and uncertain process probably shouldn’t be a co-founder.
What about some really solid examples for real world stuff like teacher, classroom, student, resource scheduling? Then people could derive simpler ones like normal employee scheduling too.

I’d definitely be interested in that.
That's not really true, if you can make a ultralight full-featured steel-framed bike there will be buyers. There is a not so small crowd of "weight weenies" and/or steel frame fans willing to spend big.

I don't think so. China has not been shy in setting paralels between Ukraine and Taiwan, and how they are using not only to position political pieces but also to develop military tactics based on what western weapons are deployed in Ukraine.

"The Joy of Reading Books You Don't Understand"

It seems you didn't even try to understand The Culture Map, and opted for a strawman.

> I do not think, thinking in stereotypes this broad is helpful for communicating.

You're trying to use it as a cookbook. If you instead see it as a dictionary to be used when someone you're interacting with isn't behaving the way you had expected, it will make more sense. We can still be unique flowers with a wide variance, even if cultural regions have shifted medians.
There’s probably more to this story.
It’s somewhat a skill and maybe art to create MRs so that they are easy to review and get approved.

It is also true for the feedback on MRs. Providing compressed and succinct feedback makes it faster to address.

Almost like “if the change is difficult, refactor and make the change easy”. There are many ways to do one thing, some are better, some are not.

Companies and teams that have good review culture are successful in using the reviews as a tool.
Should we not find out what the company are paying you for? They might be surprised that you think they hired to you do to be a no-man and believe a course correction is in order? :)

Eventually everyone is tested. I have received perfect looking resumes and cover letters, then you get the person on a call and they are… hopeless. It’s very sad. Who pushed them so far? How did they get the credentials? Who wrote and edited their materials?

Eventually the “rubber meets the road” so to speak, and all of the lies and gold stars and platitudes don’t count for anything.
Well, you still write code. The difference is the code is written either in ordinary Python or Java and not as mathematical equations.

For example, to do the "Some employees are qualified to do either role, but others can only be a cashier, or a restocker." constraint in the article, it would be written like this:

def required_skill(constraint_factory: ConstraintFactory):
return (constraint_factory.for_each(Shift)
.filter(lambda shift: shift.required_skill not in shift.employee.skills)
.penalize(HardSoftScore.ONE_HARD)
.as_constraint("Missing required skill")
)

Some examples taken from Timefold quickstarts:

- Employee scheduling (https://github.com/TimefoldAI/timefold-quickstarts/tree/stab...)

- Vehicle routing (https://github.com/TimefoldAI/timefold-quickstarts/tree/stab...)

- School timetabling (https://github.com/TimefoldAI/timefold-quickstarts/tree/stab...)
That’s because we use automation to solve problems and create needs we never had.

I mean, nowadays we solved pretty any need the average human had 100 years ago.

Our leaders are convinced that we must grow and grow, but we basically have everything we need to be a happy species in the long term.

What we are doing now is working (here 6 days a week) to solve inexistant problems marketers are creating while going full throttle both in burn-out and in the environmental wall.

In the meantime, while we are working hard releasing SaaS softwares, there have never been fewer farmers which, historically, have been the job of pretty any human in the last millennia.

If we don’t change this paradigm, we are at risk of dying stupidly from climate induced famine or wars just because we needed the latest smartphone.

Don’t get me wrong : I understand how at the end of the day, in the current system, all of this supports our basic needs. But we need to think about another system because we are going to destroy environment and human psyche.
Agreed. It’s very exhausting to read. A few well timed digs are ok but you need to not overdo it.

It'll all vary based on what and who is automated. I'm sure there'd be less(but non-zero) fuss if we were trying to automate plumbing. I'm sure there'd be entire riots over trying to automate professional sports leagues.

I'd say the art industry is somewhere in-between because of

1. Being a traditionally disrespected but non-trivial skill to acquire
2. A skill valuable for advertisement (good art -> pretty ads -> more money
3. A valuable skill, but not one many industries need full time work from
4. Due to #1, a "vulnerable" industry. There won't be too many millionaire artists to fight back against the AI Overlords compared to, say, Politicians or businessesmen.

But it's not like I have any say on who or what gets affected.
> No one is forced to hire a real estate agent.

but for long time in the US you were "forced" to hire a real estate agent, if you wanted to get the market price.

Refer to the NAR settlement that pretty much admits to this.

https://www.realestatecommissionlitigation.com/

This is not to say that real estate agents cannot add value to a process; it is just that they were a cartel with anticompetitive practices.

The mandated and fixed 6% on each sale was and is ridiculous, when the median sell price is 400K in the US ... that is 24K commission

This inspired me to study the possibility of booting on one linux and then chrooting to another linux. Reason being that I cannot update the first one, it being too old, but it has important janitorial purposes.

no it was more passive aggressive - suggesting there was blame but not actually coming out and assigning it.
I stopped at that quote.

There are no doubt interesting anecdota inside, that might be insightful and there is no doubt some truth to some clichés, but I seriously doubt a box so big as "asians" has much value.

And even for "small" boxes like "germans", there are for example great differences between east and west germany (seperated by the iron curtain and different systems for over 40 years) - but more so for the older and less for the younger generation. Etc.

So reading in general about cultural differences when meeting someone from that culture can be surely be helpful - but in my experience it is not useful for taking such advice by the letter.

Both. So they adapted themselves to it, they didn’t born like that. It’s an intentional procedure. However, not everybody can handle that.

They actually play together fairly well higher up the stack. Non-blocking IO (i.e async) makes it easy to concurrently wait for socket IO and time. You can do it with blocking IO too by setting a read-timeout on the socket but using async primitives makes it a bit easier.

But I've also been mulling over the idea how they could be combined! One thing I've arrived at is the issue that async functions compile into opaque types. That makes it hard / impossible to use the compiler's facility of code-generating the state machine because you can't interact with it once it has been created. This also breaks the borrow-checker in some way.

For example, if I have an async operation with multiple steps (i.e. `await` points) but only one section of those needs a mutable reference to some shared data structure. As soon as I express this using an `async` function, the mutable reference is captured in the generated `Future` type which spans across all steps. As a result, Rust doesn't allow me to run more than one of those concurrently.

Normally, the advice for these situations is "only capture the mutable reference for as short as possible" but in the case of async, I can't do that. And splitting the async function into multiple also gets messy and kind of defeats the point of wanting to express everything in a single function again.

I found that becoming an actual user of your own system changes the perspective entirely. I had this thing that I was making for myself, and it was not ready, not usable at all, or so I thought.

After giving up on the project I decided to try and actually started using it as if I was a user. I realised that as users, we are used to countless minor issues, and we automatically find ways around that. When you are the creator of something, you sometimes forget that a lot of sloppyness will not be a dealbreaker, and the user will effortlessly work around many of the shortcomings. Obtaining perfection is more about ego at that point.

So trying to actually use it, ignoring that you are the one who made it, and forbidding yourself to make any modifications for a while, can change everything!
Games and software operate from a different set of first principles, games are more akin to movies in that we consume them for the experience and that final level of polish often does make or break it.

> the lack of value of McKinsey

Leaving McKinsey's specific brand value aside, people always miss the value of "hiring (business) consultants". You basically get insider knowledge about how competitors businesses and systems work. So if you ask for advice about how to build a healthcare app for smartphones, you hire McKinsey (or whomever) to tell you "about the market". But really, they are just telling you about what they saw at other competitors. For some business decisions, it is very valuable.

your comment also reminded me of this one time I was hanging out and watching the Matrix (for the 100th time probably) with a film maker friend. and he was pointing out to me that American film editing guides you with a rather heavy hand on where to look on the screen, whereas European films did little of that and the viewer has to search for what to pay attention to in a scene. after he showed me the editing techniques it all made sense, and explained why i could mindless follow hollywood movies, whereas watching an european film i'd get lost if not paying attention.
I would recommend these two courses by Harvard in order:

1. CS50's Introduction to Computer Science

2. CS50's Web Programming with Python and JavaScript

Even if you know programming, you should still go through the first course. You can choose watch the lectures on 1.5x or 2x but definitely do the assignments. The assignment and project based approach of these courses will definitely make you learn the stuff deeply and will make you a good full-stack developer. All the best!

> This is a obscure to me but people like Finkelstein and Chomsky point out the aftermath of WWII, where Russia was excluded by the other Western countries from the spoils of war and so forth, was a critical juncture that set back Russia's normal development.

Facts like the Berlin blockade refute this hypothesis.

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

The problem with these anti-west talking heads is that they base their beliefs on this idea of infantilizing each and every antagonist of "the west" whereas "the west" is bounded to a behavior akin to sainthood where all issues are due to not enough penance and self-sacrifice. I mean, the Soviet Union right after WW2 was engaged relentlessly in decades of imperialism targeting east Europe and involved in ethnic cleansing and genocide, with tanks rolling in randomly, and the conclusion of these anti-west talking heads is that "the west" wasn't being cozy enough?
Sure but do you know someone who doesn’t have chairs ? I mean, sure, there are people setting up in their first house, people who broke their existing chairs … but there is a lot of available options on the aftermarket.

I understand why you would want brand new chairs. My brain also does want them because they are pretty, because they goes well with your interior etc ...

But brand new chairs are far from a need we need to solve. And we are destroying our planet and our workers health for more chairs than there is asses on this planet.
