I don't see anything distinct enough to call "founder mode" here. It's just one (very important, but small) sub-facet of Ron Westrum's organisational typology. That specific behaviour, of a top-of-the-tree authority figure getting involved in the weeds, is just one behaviour he calls out as characterising generative cultures, but there are others: an eagerness to find mistakes is another important one.

This has become more popularised by DORA, but Westrum divides cultures into "Generative", "Bureaucratic", and "Pathological". Someone who finds a mistake is praised in a generative culture, ignored in a bureaucratic one, and blamed in a pathological one. The conventional "management"-type detail-hiding hierarchy would be absolutely stereotypical of bureaucratic or pathological cultures depending on the goal.

From that point of view I think this is better understood than you'd think, but possibly not well communicated.
For people who can do those (mostly the ones doing creative activities, such as software, marketing, etc.) the 30 or 40-hour week doesn’t matter anyway. This is more important for service jobs or physically intensive jobs, where the hours spent on the job may correlate pretty heavily with the total work done by the worker.

I own at least ten pairs of headphones, as well as some small amps and a DAC, but I end up going back to the $19 Aukey Bluetooth earbuds from Amazon. They sound good enough, battery still lasts 5 hours and they must be six years old, and they're cheap enough where I don't care if they are damaged or lost, but I haven't managed to lose them.

Sure, on an airplane I'll drag along some noise cancelling ones, and I keep a wired set of Sennheisers in my bag for a backup, but I never use them otherwise.

I’m a product designer with a passion for crafting user experiences that are not just visually appealing but also intuitive and enjoyable to use. Whether it’s a simple app or a complex business solution, I specialize in designing data-heavy interfaces that turn intricate information into clean, user-friendly designs.

I’m dedicated to seeing projects through from the first brainstorming session to the final launch. I love taking on complex challenges and transforming them into elegant, easy-to-use solutions. My approach is hands-on and detail-oriented: I dive deep into planning, create detailed prototypes, and ensure every pixel is in the right place before a product goes out the door. I believe in the power of data-driven design, but I also never forget the importance of making products that users will love.
Maybe the implementation is smaller than a typical FORTH?

For instance the FORTH implementation I'm somewhat familiar with (on the KC85 8-bit home computer) was an 8 KByte ROM module, which was packed to the brim - and it wasn't a luxurious FORTH by any means. This Mouse compiler seems to fit into 2 KBytes.
You can make them waterproof and the last thing I want right now is a thinner and even more fragile phone.

I want the old Nexus 5 just with newer chips and camera. Indestructible poly-carbonate shell w/non-slip rubberized coating, good sized screen, headphone jack, really good battery life, no nonsense OS.

Nothing added to newer phones (Pixel or iPhone) have improved my experience, all have made them worse in various ways. Newer phones are less durable and more expensive because they are made from fragile "luxury" materials like glass. They are thinner and have crappy battery life as a result (though this is getting better as batteries have caught up to design ambition). The thinness is rendered moot by needing a case. I didn't need a case on my Nexus 5, it was already indestructible. New phone + case is definitely thicker as a result.

Actual advantages of USB-C or BT audio mostly come down to a higher quality DAC in those devices vs crap they put on a lot of phones/laptops/etc.
Thing is that doesn't need to be the case, you can totally have a properly good DAC on-board. Especially if you aren't fighting for thinness and can put it on an isolated daughter board.

IMO the enemies of a good phone design are thinness and aluminium + glass construction.

It turns what should be a utilitarian device into a fashion accessory and because that is what the high-end looks like there is nothing but a sea of copycats doing the same thing but worse.

The parentheses are needed in Lisp because the input is data and not code. There are no "functions" and "arguments" in the data; that's a particular interpretation imposed on the data.

We wouldn't want the data notation to have an implicit shape which depends on the programming language semantics of the symbols which appear in it, like their arity.

I just watched an interview with a lawyer from the Lawyer Bar of SP (OAB-SP), privacy group, and he claims there is a very clear distinction between two types of freedom of speech: one defended by Musk and what's written and allowed by the Brazilian constitution.

The former gives much more freedom, that you can even attack someone else and you're covered by free speech. The first amendment is an US thing only, and it makes the Supreme Court rulings look like censorship.

On the latter case, the Federal Constitution doesn't give as much freedom as the 1st Amendment, and it's also written on it that your freedom of speech has certain limits, and quoting Moraes' own words: "freedom of speech doesn't give you impunity for aggression".

If you want to watch it, here's the link (starts at 2:00 mark): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhzsRNw0RNU

EDIT:

In other words, you have to take the same precautions you would with the CCP.

No, you just need to know the laws of Brazil. Did you know that Marco Civil says service and application providers must have a legal representative in the country? And even if they don't have one, they still have to follow the local laws?

Art. 11. In any operation of collection, storage, retention and treating of personal data or communications data by connection providers and internet applications providers where, at least, one of these acts takes place in the national territory, the Brazilian law must be mandatorily respected, including in regard the rights to privacy, to protection of personal data, and to secrecy of private communications and of logs.

§ 2o The established in Art. 11 applies even if the activities are carried out by a legal entity placed abroad, provided that it offers services to the Brazilian public or at least one member of the same economic group is established in Brazil.

Not headsets, but Bose ANC headphones have used a 2.5mm jacks for years (and still do). They give you a 2.5 to 3.5mm cable, though. I imagine this is likely just to drive cable sales, though, as there isn’t any real reason you need the 2.5mm jack on their relatively big headphones.
I haven't managed to brake one yet but I admit on a thinkpad I own the cable appear to be wiggly once plugged to it.

SEEKING WORK - Contract, Remote, based in AZ, backend engineer

I am a backend expert, having built and maintained highly available systems for several companies over the last 5 years, in addition to over 20 total years of software development experience.

The ideal engagement at this point would be with a firm that expects to need team-level help and wants to try me out as the lead for that on a smaller initial project.
You will like working with me because I:

* hold your goals as my priorities

* communicate verbosely yet synthesize well

* my rates are reasonable in exchange for the value I deliver

* I guarantee I will get the job done

Concrete examples:

* built realtime stats and the enterprise-wide developer portal for one of the top 3 major US sports leagues (golang/pyspark/docker/azure)

* portfolio management process replatforming for a midsize hedge fund (bespoke->dockerized python aws lambda architecture)

* built a ~50 node, Dockerized, Terraform-deployed distributed system to provide realtime, transformed trade data from crypto exchanges to a Kafka pipeline and data lake (fodder for an analytics platform). Met 5000msec SLA across arbitrarily many exchanges and ticker symbols. Blue-green deployment for complete CICD safety. Cloudwatch metrics proved SLA was met and provided general system oversight.

* built a framework to collapse dozens of singleton ETL programs into one config-driven, simple C# application performing the same functionality at ~80% reduction in maintenance cost year over year.

* built and managed a team of 8 engineers operating against multiple streams of work to meet business needs, with ~12 active projects at a time.

The audio chips in phones were woeful. Not every headphones could be driven by them. There was a whole cottage industry of DAC that you had to plug between your phone and your headset.

As a very deep hole, the jack was also a dust/lint catcher, almost impossible to clean. And because of its length, it had a lot of leverage on the board, requiring fairly heavy-duty soldering to avoid damaging the board.

And the first reason the jack went out is not thinness but water resistance.
Yup, that's basically how Vault/Bao does it.
Can you provide some context? Do you mean MS employees are prohibited from doing open source even outside work hours?
Just listing technologies that sound kind of similar isn’t enough to actually answer the problems people want solved. The “good old days” were basically just people crying about being unable to have any of the features we have now because they don’t match up or differ in subtly different ways.
How many of our eyes roll?

Their comments, during the little talk, celebrating firing workers trying to unionize and Project 2025, where they aim to replace career workers with loyalists, both harrow how they would approach this problem
I didn’t know that, and quite likely I’m not in the minority! The irony is Microsoft owns the biggest open source platform GitHub, and sells products and services such as code pilot which thrives on open source prior art. This deserves more publicity! At the same time Microsoft hires people that are main shepherds of open source projects, such as GvR do not sure how that arrangement works.
I got the color one. Unless you REALLY need color, get the black&white one. The color technology requires going through filters, which reduces brightness and resolution a LOT.
The modern 3.5 jack is wired CarPlay. That's the entirety of the matter; and bluetooth is finally good enough for wireless headphones.
I’ve heard that this is unenforceable in practice but I’m not sure in which jurisdiction.
I’m not totally sure but I think fast math usually comes with loss of support for denormals, which is a bit of range reduction. Note that even if they had denormals, the absolute error listed in the chart is much bigger than the biggest denorm. So you don’t lose range out at the large ends, but you might for very small numbers. Shouldn’t be a problem for sin/cos since the result is never large, but maybe it could be an issue for other ops.
It’s a different challenge. Batteries are simply less energy dense than petrol or diesel, so most people don’t need to fill up on a daily basis.

If you want an answer to your question: look at what happens during fuel scarcity scares (like in the UK in 2020/2021ish). The answer is “we don’t.”
This is why you do medical tourism to a country like Thailand. Deregulated medical systems mean that you can meet doctors who are empowered to give you any drug you want for like, 1 USD.

If you get travelers sickness (half caused by gut bacteria), you can quickly get low level antibiotics which purges this and gets you back on your feet in a day or two. Not in America though, because the risk of “superbugs” means that everyone should struggle and be in serious avoidable pain.

Imagine how livid I was when I got peptic ulcers and my idiot doctor tried to tell me it was “stress”. I reported his ass to my states medical board and linked the other examples of doctors through history who understood the bacterial cause of ulcers and were sanctioned by their own medical boards for using the right treatment before it was accepted.

Don’t just accept their bullshit. Fight them every step of the way when you know you’re right.

Bluetooth builds in some buffering to deal with contention on the airwaves and packet loss while keeping the audio stream going. That buffer is the lag you are hearing. It is quite substantial, and there is a natural tradeoff here - you can use more power to (theoretically) reduce buffer size by improving the SNR of the signal, but if you run out of buffer, you are going to drop samples.

Even USB audio has some buffering to handle bus contention, but it is quite small in comparison.
But the premise was "disowned by their families, they have no friends".
Yes, but democracy is not a system that can be set up well and let it run.

> When you borrow money in a high inflationary environment, it's highly advantageous because you are using cheaper future money to pay back older expensive money.

This is only true under the assumption that the *source* of the money that you are paying back the loan with appreciates.

For example, consider taking out a loan that requires $1,000 monthly payments over 30 years. Assume that you pay back this loan with your labor (i.e., income from your job), and let's suppose you make $100K/yr. Most people can think of their jobs as an appreciating asset as long as they are receiving standard C.O.L. raises. However, suppose that 30 years later, you are still making the same exact $100K salary. Then, although you are "paying back your loan with cheaper dollars," the impact of making those loan payments is actually the same in terms of your buying power.

Year 1: $1,000/month (inflation-adj. salary = $100,000; relative impact on buying power = 12K/100K = 12%)
Year 30: $1,000/month (inflation-adj. salary = $36,254; inflation adjusted payments is $4,950; relative impact on buying power = 4950/36250 = 12%)

^ this is assuming a 3% inflation rate.

Note that almost everyone is getting C.O.L. raises, especially over 30-year time spans. However, this point is especially relevant for shorter term loans, and for people who may not experience wage increases.
There was also an alternative theory, that some part of ChatGPT's RLHF came from Nigera, where "delve" is used much more frequently in business English. An article I could find about the subject: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/apr/16/techscape.... As you can see it's pretty light on facts and heavy on speculation, which is why I'm calling this an alternative theory.

Just the commenters in this thread that are just a tiny 3.5 mm jack away from losing their fifteenth pair of headsets... Amazing!
That’s true when you’ve saturated all of those subsystems but not when you’re just CPU bound. If you’re doing high throughput from disk to memory to CPU and back to disk, there are levels of use where throttling IO helps with battery draw. There are old papers on the subject, and I have a suspicion that OS X started doing something of the sort when they went to nonremovable batteries in the MacBook. There’s a 30% reduction in power draw in that generation that they brag about but don’t really explain, and it was a handful of years after that first paper showed up.
IIRC, rust's long compile times are because it is basically doing static analysis, looking for potential errors
