Cheap Thrills, an album cover by Robert Crumb (2020)
True for most people on the left today. For example, they don't like Elon Musks personality/politics (which is fine, very understandable), so they are completely unable to objectively evaluate his achievements. Because they don't like him, he must be stupid, and therefore they must find reasons to dismiss anything he's ever done. It's almost comical to watch. There is no amount of evidence that can change their mind. First hand accounts from the engineers working under him, multiple biographies, at least 5 companies worth more than a billion dollars, two in the hundreds of billions. But no, it's all luck or fraud.

Maybe he's an evil Forrest Gump?

Honestly, seeing this kind of brain rot is kind of radicalizing in itself. You start to question what other views you've adopted are just group think and emotional reactions.

> it's pretty much guaranteed to be someone who isn't anywhere near leading on the type of metrics these discussions are talking about - that's making the biggest impact and amplifies _team_ productivity

It would be great if everyone on the team had different strengths that contributed to team productivity "A smashes out small features like nobody's business", "B is great at debugging", "C is great at planning and seeing through big long-term features", "D is great at helping teammates" etc.

However in practice I find you have a minority of team members who can do _all_ of A, B, C, and D's tasks well, and a mediocre majority who deliver between 20% and -10% the productivity of the talented minority.
Undecidability of the Spectral Gap (2015)
i mean i don't considere issues closed or tickets open to be "looking over my shoulder", but i guess we disagree there. these are some metrics that need to be looked at at some point to determine some strategy about the future or reflect on the past.

"trust" to me is knowing that everyone that has access to these metrics are making decisions in good faith. it's knowing that your boss isn't sitting there watching it every hour or using it as some simple metric to axe you. blame the people not the tools.
> In either case, you just need root to update targeted binaries.

My understanding is that the difference is you would need to boot with a kernel with veriexec disabled to replace binaries and regenerate hashes. Root alone isn't sufficient, and you can't disable veriexec as root in strict mode.
Again, the comparison made was about tooling around Go/JS. What Go, the language, is or isn't typically used for is utterly irrelevant to that comparison.

Well, you still need a way to manage them. Having an administrative web interface accessible over IPv4 but not IPv6 was probably considered Good Enough by whoever wrote the firmware.

How to Do Reddit Marketing?
Depends on how you look at it. I believe this "perfect" species would be quite moronic. You can never think entirely rational as that would be quite horrible. At least until you come to the the point where you cannot find a rational reason to continue your existence/eat chocolate/drink alcohol/..., because you likely will not find one. And different people have different ideas what they deem important or not and that is completely fine.

That said, it is important to deliver rational explanations to the largest degree possible. The recent trend to "curate" free information is quite destructive. Even if that information is just nonsense. We also have some form of "endorsed" nonsense authorities would like us to believe and you probably should not.

The panic about "those other people might believe something wrong and that is a problem" is a disease that should be overcome and you should adapt accordingly.

Yes. This post only applies to people who have already manually configured a network for IPv4. Most devices from the past 10 years will "just work" on a v6 capable network with no configuration required (nor even an awareness that v6 is in use).

>> Most of that those giant emissions are your daily commute etc.

Daily commutes, even by IC car, are not the bulk of carbon emissions. Carbon emissions from all transport are only about 1/3 of total emissions, with commutes being a subset of that. The bulk of emissions, the other 2/3, are from non-transport things like electricity and food production. Installing some solar panels and not eating meat might be more effective than avoiding the daily commute.
Have you talked to your "failing" team member about this? Have you worked together to try and identify a path towards improvement? Off the top of my head, perhaps they would benefit from more WFH time? Or perhaps a period of part-time work? Perhaps their duties could be shifted around so that they can contribute in a different way for a while? Could they take over some of your mentoring duties?

I mean, this is the bread and butter of your job as a manager, right? Getting the best out of your people?
Normally Rachel writes well and I am a big fan. In this article, I have a hard time understanding what she is trying to say.

I agree with the general sentiment that metrics are not a panacea. Managers need to put in work to do their job, instead of leaning blindly on tools like metrics. IC's need to do their work instead of expecting managers to prop them up.

I'm guessing that this is what the article is trying to convey. What I read though is a complete 180 flip into "no tools are helpful", and "don' help anyone" territory. I don't agree with that.
I really loves Caddy, it has replaced nginx in my go-to HTTP server. It's really simple and powerfull, one nice example is how simple you can deploy applications with zero downtine [1].

On testing HTTP requests, I'd suggest Hurl [2], (I'm one of the maintainer). You will trade Ruby unit tests for a tailored HTTP text file format but I think it can shine for this kind of migration. Tests will be run in parallel, really fast.

For instance, test_site_is_up.rb will be replaced by a simple text file:

GET https://alexwlchan.net
HTTP 200
[Asserts]
body contains "This website is a place to share stuff I find interesting or fun."

GET https://alexwlchan.net/articles/
HTTP 200
[Asserts]
body contains "Articles"

# etc...

Testing alternate domains (test_alternate_domains.rb) could be:

GET http://alexwlchan.net
HTTP 308
Location: https://alexwlchan.net/

GET http://alexwlchan.net/contact/
HTTP 301
Location https://alexwlchan.net/

# etc...

Give it a try!

You (=hypothetical manager, please excuse second-person tense) use your managerial skills to make a decision, which considers metrics and other contributing factors. Then you write a justification which you defend, to higher ups and to those who weren't promoted. Because that's your job.

For whatever reason, Fortune articles appear frequently on HN. Although they almost never receive a high number of votes, I am surprised that this critical-thinking community still has them show up. I understand that Fortune articles are written in a style that appeals to the HN audience (myself included), but they often lack substantive analysis and read more like carefully crafted PR pieces than genuine journalism. The articles tend to follow a formulaic pattern of surface-level business narratives while avoiding any meaningful critical examination, essentially functioning as sophisticated native advertising.

"The cost of the Oracle project increased from an initial estimate of £19 million to a projected cost of £131 million, including the re-implementation."

When something gets 10 times more expensive than anticipated, there is some serious mismanagement and political 'death march' involved.

This longing for 'one system' is probably the fundamental problem. And these consultant firms with slick salespeople feeding on the procurers' dreams.
We had a consultant try and sell us XML databases as something we had to start working on at once.
When I asked them what the advantage was, and how it dealt with a few common circumstances they basically stuttered to a stop. It was very dissapointing.

It definitely doesn't, as in the top directors likely don't. It is likely that they brought in some kind of consultant who sold them this solution to the higher ups against the protests of the lower managers

I had managers in the past who did not know or care what I was doing. They got nothing done. They didn’t know the product. I remember distinctly that one of my colleagues got mad because our manager proposed a feature that he had implemented a year before and was quite a lot of work. On the other hand, this was the coziest job I ever had. Most of us worked about 1-2 houres a day. For me that was fine, but others really struggled with it.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was directly adapted from the anecdotes of Harry Nyquist at Bell Labs [1].

"""
After crunching a lot of data, they found that the only thing the productive employees had in common (other than having made it through the Bell Labs hiring process) was that "Workers with the most patents often shared lunch or breakfast with a Bell Labs electrical engineer named Harry Nyquist. It wasn't the case that Nyquist gave them specific ideas. Rather, as one scientist recalled, 'he drew people out, got them thinking'" (p. 135).

I also judge code quality at the interviews that I perform. I just give the candidates time to improve their code after they come up with something working.
I didn’t read it as “don’t help anyone”, I read it as “don’t help managers”. As someone who’s worked both sides I agree, not least because I very efficiency tool I’ve ever been exposed to was bullshit. To me most of these things, including peer reviews and retrospectives and whatever else the pseudo jobbers and consultants have peddled for two decades now don’t work. Then again most organisations could probably get by with half their current middle management staff if we removed all these metrics and audits and actually let them manage. We won’t do that of course.

Somewhat hilariously I was a manager during Covid, and as such I saw the metrics which showed that every worker group in the city I was working for was happier and more productive. Except for middle managers and the various positions they are in meetings all day. Interestingly productivity was way up despite people spending significantly less time at their computers.
I think the mechanism in the scientific community that allows progress are just multiple perspectives.

The version where there is one scientific authority that sets these guardrails is prone to fail and does that quite reliably. Different faculties have different requirements for their scientific work, but even here the established players often become a problem. The power of journals and their reputation can be detrimental, but as long as there is competition, it should work.

I think some field are less vulnerable here than others. You cannot just deliver scientific work in sociology/political science. You will have to fight a lot of people who will disagree for ideological reasons. These are by nature distinct from discussion about what color some gluon needs to have in some theoretical particle, although you have entirely "people focused conflicts" here as well.

But overall you should never put your belief in guardrails. They will be wrong and the next ostracized scientist was right in the end. The only relevant content is indeed the one in the scientific work itself. Whom you delegate them to evaluate them for you is a personal matter and no institution alone can take up this task.
If the interviewer is a good interviewer - they inadvertently gave the candidate an oportunity to demonstrate a range of skills.

An outstanding candidate when questioned would mention that in most languages this evalates to that, but in python it evaluates to this, and offer an alternate method chaining and's on the spot in response to the confustion.

If they are a bad interviewer - they would allow their ego to derail the interview.
> the symbol it is using is overloaded with binary comparison operator, so the people will be confused

I think most people would expect expressions like `5 < x < 10` to work as they do in math, without necessarily thinking about it in terms of being an overloaded binary operator. The result in other languages that `5 < 12 < 10` = `true < 10` = `true` is more surprising, just that we've (perhaps by being bitten by it early on) gotten used to it.
You can run pure ISO Prolog interactively in your browser on [1]. There's also an extended tutorial for solving toy container logistics problems there ([2]). Though while it doesn't require prior Prolog knowledge, it's not so much a learning resource as it is a teaser and practical guide for using Prolog's built-in combinatorical search for linear planning in the classic STRIPS style (David Warren's WARPLAN being among the earliest Prolog applications apart from NLP).

> and it was the screens that were expensive, not the buttons that were already there.

The combination of a screen AND buttons is still more expensive than just a screen. If you are introducing a new component that is going to otherwise raise the cost of production, you will be looking for ways to reduce cost or, maybe more aptly, offset the cost of the new component.

With touch screens, you are presented with a unique option where the thing you introduce can be used to move all sorts of functionality to that would otherwise need its own hardware.

You also need to keep in mind that the physical buttons on older cars didn't need to be tied into a computer system as much as modern buttons.
