>The nature of the work is not the same, hence, the proportion of the modalities of your work are not identical.

I guess we solved that problem then. We're comparing apples to oranges and wondering why oranges don't have edible skin.

>The problem is considering that only your office boss work view is the one that qualifies as work.

So you're suggesting that more programmers should practice in their free time?

>The problem is also considering that a software engineer performance is in writing code/investigating bugs, whereas it is in the whole process/intellectual pursuit.

You can argue we're always performing or never performing in that case. Or perhaps our "performance" is crunch for a deadline, or right after a product shislps.

Either way, it's fundamentally different from practice/performance scheduling of athletes or musicians. Performance should be a place where you put 110% into an act, often in a burst. Physically or mentally, we can't afford to operate at 110% every day. That's why there's often a rest day for musicians/athletes. Knowledge workers is much more spotty.
Taxis give you most of that for inner city travel. I don’t mean American taxis, I mean Chinese taxis that are everywhere. If that was a fleet of self driving cars, then it really would be like wait one minute for a taxi if you aren’t going somewhere on peak.

My point, though, isn’t how China can show America how to do things, just that American car culture is unusual and unlikely to apply to most of the rest of the world. There are also costs of dumb decisions to consider, which is going to affect the competitiveness of our cities long term (Shanghai doesn’t have to make the same stupid decisions that Denver did, and eventually it just isn’t worth doing business in cities with crappy transit infra), and eventually some more optimal norm is going to affect even the USA.
That's a good call: having a "catch me up" API you can poll is a very robust way of dealing with missed events.

Implementing robust retries is a huge favor you can do for your clients though: knowing that they'll get every event delivered eventually provided they return 200 codes for accepted events and error codes for everything else can massively simplify the code they need to write.
Apple Watch and AirPods as two product categories panned at launch which have become power houses. Vision Pro might get there after a couple generations, too early to tell.
Seems like you’re grasping at straws to find weird edge cases that don’t at all preclude a mostly self driven future. I don’t think these cars will be made without steering wheels, or a mechanism to control the vehicle directly.

But I bet they get a report of how often you manually drive and if you cross a specified threshold your rate increases.

Edit:
Also why would you need to park on grass! Hop out of the car and it will park itself wherever in a nearby lot, or just drives around until you need it.
Those people won’t last at big corp, and won’t be interested in it.

As for how you attract them - same way you attract anyone else. Give them something they want. For these people it’s agency, freedom and high level guideposts. For a productive big corp employee it’s clear guidance, timelines and a hierarchy to adhere to.

I'm saying that your server side representation could also be done as a relation. No need for object orientation. I don't have a problem with the M part of ORM, but with the O part.

_If_ you are having different representations, than having an automated mapper between representations is good. Agreed, yes.

FWIW I don't even neatly fit into progressive or reactionary: I'm deeply religious and it's not one of the accommodating ones. So I'm sympathetic to the right wing view on this, holding it to a significant extent myself.

I'm not dismissing this position because of similarity to other reactionary movements in the past, I'm rejecting it because of how this reactionary movement is using it to mobilize a revanchist assault on the rights of minorities, women, queer people. An issue that "rational centrists" like Haidt and the general consensus of HN commenters certainly seem blind to and sanguine about their part in.

That's precisely not how markets work. A TON of people work not at the highest paying job but at the job they feel most comfortable. That can include a myriad of reasons:

- Job is more fun

- Flexible working hours

- More fitting location

- Allow WFH

- More vacation days

- Gym/food/something available

- Ability to learn from colleagues.

etc etc.

If the world were as you describe the job market would be a feeding frenzy where everyone is aiming for the top job by salary.
I almost want to test this out - shut down my PC, unplug it, hit the power button, wait like 15 minutes, then turn it back on. Will it still be "pretty fast"? My (probably wrong) understanding was windows boot times are so fast because it's really just hibernating when you shut down. I'm sure there's technical names for the power state (S0?) - but ram is kept "warm" so that resume basically just needs to check that all the devices it needs are connected and reset the software clock.

I'm currently showing 50.6GB "in use" and 62GB commit on my windows machine. My boot drive is an intel SSD on sata, less than a GB/second - this implies if windows does recover memory from disk on "cold" boot my machine will take about a minute to restore RAM.

i may be conflating things, but i've lived with this assumption that shutting down my PC is merely hibernating it, and as such, i always pull mains power before removing hardware.

Same here. The only time I've seen a company schedule/budget for training was when I worked at Intel in the early 2000s. They were very serious about sending people for training classes in various technologies. After I left that company because of a big downturn, I never saw this kind of support for training at all.

The US Air Force Air Mobility Command is the only organization in the world which has a significant number of long-range cargo aircraft and the associated logistics train capable of delivering large amounts of food into contested territory. Russia, the EU, and China have only a tiny fraction of the capability and wouldn't be able to sustain it beyond a temporary symbolic effort. The Russian military is also otherwise occupied at the moment.

While the AMC has the capability it isn't unlimited. They are already stretched thin delivering on other taskings, so if they have to pick up a new humanitarian aid mission then other missions will have to be postponed. Perhaps you should ask the Houthis and Iranians to suspend their terrorist activities in the Middle East in order to reduce the current workload.
In Apple’s case the leadership learned a ton of important lessons from being the scrappy underdog that was always fighting to succeed.

And they shouldn’t forget those.

But those same ideas and strategies may not work as well when you’re the biggest company in the world (or close). So I think either they’re in the tension you describe at the end of your comment, or they’ve taught the new generation the old ways so they’re not trying to change things enough.
> There is no good reason to introduce confusing and intrinsically incorrect models.

Well, teaching is the usual reason, otherwise physics with trig would all just wait for calculus, and calculus wouldn't get covered before real analysis, etc. Incorrect, or more charitably "useful, prerequisite, & intentionally not rigorous" models are a pretty standard tool for walking students closer to real understanding. Clearly no one is proposing trampolines and bowling balls models because they are expecting to win a Nobel.

> The actual description of gravity isn't hard to understand, it's just really strange.

Hmm, Einstein thought it was pretty hard, and I didn't know that you and Witten had finished quantum gravity or the other latest and greatest.

> Gravity is one of the fundamental forces, there's no recursion in it's definition, indeed we don't "define" it we describe it.

Unpacking this to a first approximation it actually sounds like you're looking for The Truth instead of useful models, that you always know Truth when you see it, that you don't believe that apparently different descriptions can result in formally equivalent stuff. I'm also guessing that you might be strongly inside a "only cares about math because physics" camp whereas I sympathize more with "only cares about physics because math". Lots of interesting conversations in there, but it'll all just be philosophy at that point anyway and you probably wouldn't like it.
I think so! That was one of the magazines I was subscribed to. And ohhhhh my god I forgot about All in Wonder. I definitely had one of those at some point.
Use a payroll or onboarding system that incorporates password management

Rippling's Rpass is a good example of effective implementation.

You can deploy passwords on day 1 based on roles, dept etc.

You can also set passwords to be hidden , not shared etc.

SSO is best practice but this is by far the most effective way for vendor account management.

Oh if you are doing this make sure you have set up group-based SSO.

I'm confused by this statement. For me Linux boot is incredibly fast, even on old machines with slow storage. For example, my MacBook Air 11 (running Linux) boots to login so fast I barely see any boot logs. systemd-analyze reports the graphical target is reached in < 4 s.

Two things seem to be key here. I don't use a desktop environment. I either boot in text mode (and then startx as needed), or I boot to X with a lightweight login manager (lightdm). The important bit is that no DE reduces the number of services by an order of magnitude, which put a lot of I/O pressure during boot on old hardware. The booted system is less than 200 MB, even when running X. The second thing that can speed things up is EFI stub: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/EFISTUB.

I'm theorizing here, but if you're a novice PC builder and you buy a bunch of parts and put them together and the system doesn't boot, you're probably going to think you fucked up. You don't have an easy way of testing parts individually. Maybe you replace the motherboard first, and of course that doesn't work, so then you order some new RAM, and so on. If you spend long enough troubleshooting then it's too late to return the CPU.
Why is that your criteria? That feels arbitrary unless it’s a required interaction model.

I might recommend a slightly higher end micro with a mipi csi interface but otherwise agree. This is so much work to do what microcontrollers can do almost effortlessly.

- http://himeshp.blogspot.com/2018/08/fast-boot-with-raspberry...

I used these two to make a digital photo frame with a Pi that boots very quickly to a browser in kiosk mode. If you have very minimal requirements, you can get some very impressive boot times.
USA Fire Departments Are Getting People Killed [video]
Yeah that was probably my primary disagreement. There's no universal fundamental that fits all. And it's been established for a while that generally, continuous active practice (funny, just like athletes and Musicians) will generally yield better results than studying theory and then trying to "perfectly" approach a problem.

Your fundamentals will change per field, and even per-domain. A back and front end web dev will have very different fundamentals.

Why Americans Stopped Moving
Airpods' major appeal is the iPhone integration. To paraphrase Jobs, it's not a product it's a feature (or an accessory here), and the core of it is still the iPhone.

For comparison the original (wired) earplugs were popular, but not at the level of being a massive business. Apple had to kill the 3.5 jack ("courage") and turn the proprietary integration knob to 11 to have the airpods fly off the shelves.

their claim. Developers built to the market, the market being people wanting an investment rental property. The prices got so high that no one can afford to rent them so investors are losing money. It used to be, mortgage payment = $x. rent = $x+($500-$1000) but now it's rent = $x-($500-$1000). Further, they aren't sellable because they were never designed to be a good place to live long term.

at least that's my summary.

They didn't explain if all this is true why the prices haven't dropped 30-80% to the price that people might be willing to buy things they don't really want. As in "hey, this place is way smaller than I want but the price is really low and the location is great". As it is now it's more like "this place as way smaller than I want and even if I could afford it it's not worth the price"

I'm curious if the same thing happened in other cities.

Bloomber's Odd Losts podcast had two episodes on the general topic (Jan 2023), "Why Corporate America Still Runs on Ancient Software That Breaks":

> Southwest Airlines had a disastrous holiday season, thanks in part to a software bug that left crews out of place and grounded thousands of flights. But Southwest isn't alone in having software in the headlines lately. The New York Stock Exchange recently had a software error that caused weird pricing on stocks and the FAA had its own computer issue that grounded planes earlier this month. So what's the deal with corporate software? Why do these crashes happen? And why does the user experience typically leave something to be desired? On this episode of the podcast we speak with Patrick McKenzie, an expert on engineering and infrastructure, who writes the Bits About Money newsletter and recently left payments company Stripe after six years. We talked about the challenges of keeping any software system alive after years of upgrades and updates, the distribution of tech talent across industries, and whether non-tech companies can close the gap with Silicon Valley.

"This Is What Happens When Governments Build Software" (Jun 2023):

> There's a lot of frustration about the government's ability to build things in the US. Subways. Bridges. High-speed rail. Electricity transmission. But there's another crucial area where the public sector often struggles, and that is software. We saw it with the infamous rollout of Obamacare. We see it in the UX of the Treasury Direct website. And we saw it in the way state unemployment insurance systems broke during the pandemic. So why is it so hard for the public sector to build and maintain software? On this episode we speak with Jennifer Pahlka, the founder and former executive director of Code for America and author of the new book Recoding America: Why Government Is Failing in the Digital Age and How We Can Do Better, as well as Dave Guarino, who recently left the Department of Labor after working on upgrading the unemployment insurance system. Both have a long history of working on public sector software systems and they explain why the problem is so tricky.

Starlink will not block X-Twitter in Brazil
Starlink tells Anatel (Brazil's FCC) it won't block access to X

Elon Musk's satellite internet company says it will not comply with Alexandre de Moraes' decision until its accounts are unblocked.

Musk's company is currently the largest satellite internet provider in the country. It has more than 42% of the segment's market share, with 215,000 customers, including schools, government offices, entire villages and communities in the Amazon, ships and Armed Forces bases.

https://www.poder360.com.br/poder-tech/starlink-diz-a-anatel...

Judge Moraes ordered all 20,000 ISPs and backbone providers in Brazil to block X-Twitter. He also ordered a fine of US$8900 per day for any Brazilian citizen who uses a VPN to access Twitter.

Judge Moraes had also ordered Apple and Google to remove all VPN apps from their app stores, and for Apple and Google to block all VPN apps already installed on users' phones. A few hours later, Judge Moraes issued a new court order, temporarily suspending Apple and Google from that order. But the fine of US$8,900 per day for any citizen who uses a VPN to access Twitter is still valid, still in effect.

Excellent background information on the importance of Starlink in Brazil, from the NYT's excellent correspondent Jack Nicas. In addition to remote tribes, Starlink has been a revolution for many disadvantaged communities in Brazil:

Starlink has had all its accounts frozen by the same judge, on behalf of X-Twitter (a completely separate company), and cannot receive monthly payments from subscribers. Starlink has formally declared that it will continue to provide Internet access, free of charge, to all its current customers:

My grandparent was a big organist, he practiced the same movements over and over on new organs before big performances. How do you think musicians learn to play every note close to perfectly?

If you mean a musician working with a DAW, then yeah it is much closer, but such musicians works much more like a knowledge worker and doesn't need to focus on the fundamentals that much, just like programmers, at least not more than the equivalent of an undergrad that programmers gets.
When Elon first bought Twitter, they released a bunch of information on how governments (specifically the US government) was pressuring Twitter to remove content, often for political reasons (i.e. it was a conservative account, etc). He stopped doing that, and generally supports free speech on the platform; sort of in a 2008 reddit way
