A downright comical number of analytics products are crude reimplementations of lesser-known Excel features. A rudimentary understanding of pivot tables or "goal seek" can be enough to blow minds even among an audience that has used Excel on a daily basis for decades. Spreadsheets, like word processors and presentation tools, are so omnipresent that organizations tend to assume their operation is absorbed through osmosis, and therefore fail to invest in training.

Wait, since when can you use your own editor? Is this common? Did I just fail to ask?

I own Kreg's track saw and table. It's great if you're doing a lot of sheet cutting. But if you're just getting started I'd recommend a regular circular saw. You can always clamp a straight board or level to a sheet to simulate a track.

A couple of tips: You'll need a lot of clamps. Don't spend much money on tools until you know what you're going to build. It's really easy to get caught up in precision and having everything cut perfectly. This is important in finish work, but for everyday stuff you don't need to worry about it.

If using hand tools is of any interest to you, I highly recommend the Anarchist's Design Book, Anarchist's Tool Chest. All by Christopher Schwarz and available from his press Lost Art Press. I discovered them via a comment here a few years back. His basic philosophy is woodworking for regular people to make stuff that are going to last and usable. Lost Art Press' website has a lot of book samples and full books in PDF form. It's worth checking out.

Good luck!

> >he asked the team, “for this meeting I’d like us to try and introduce ourselves a little differently. If you’re comfortable, I’d like us to try and be 10% more vulnerable than we normally would in a work setting.”

I think this is a ham fisted attempt at trying to solve one of the most isolating and painful issues of modern day work environments: the complete lack of any friendship or camaraderie whatsoever.

I was not born in the 1980’s but just reading stories of how people worked then, makes me feel that there was a level of trust and friendship somehow that is completely lacking in a modern job. It is a painful life when you cannot be friends with the folks you spend 40+ hours a week your entire life. I don’t know why or how it has gotten to be this way. Modern pop psychology recommends you to be vulnerable and open, but that’s definitely wrong, maybe even opposite of what you should do, I was never vulnerable with my college friends, but we did have kickass time in college and we were friends. I would much rather that just have continued into my professional life, but instead we get a sterilized environment, that we just live through trying to find meaning in our work, to make the passing of 40+ hours more pleasant.
I think the main feature of excel that makes it the killer app it is, is that it is extremely approachable to non technical people. Making it more like programming erodes the core feature that motivates its use.
Are others violating this law having such an outsized influence on U.S. politics?

The "produce a trigger event then have the consumer reach back to the producer and fetch data" can be an anti-pattern. You expose yourself to all kinds of race conditions and cache incoherency, then you start trying to fix with cache invalidation or pinning readers, and the result is you can't scale readers well.

If you're a using a message queue, the message should convey necessary information such that, if all messages were replayed, the consumer would reach the same state. Anything other than that, you'll be in a world of pain at scale.

Cunningham's Law strikes again: sorry, but I doubt "O mouse" is a soundalike pun on "Amo, amas". Instead, the English (A mouse, of a mouse, to a mouse, a mouse, O mouse!) is simply the first five declensions in the traditional order: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, vocative. (Mus, muris, muri, murem, mus.) As seen for example in this Latin schoolbook from 1891:

There are a lot of reasons why people have such extreme differing opinions on this.

I for one, am still salty about the death of WebSQL due to "needing independent implementations". Frankly put, I think that rule is entirely BS and needs to be completely removed.

Sure, there is only one implementation of WebSQL (SQLite) but it is extremely well audited, documented and understood.

Now that WebSQL is gone, what has the standards committee done to replace it? Well, now they suggest using IndexedDB or bringing your own SQLite binary using WASM.

IndexedDB is very low level, which is why almost no one uses it directly. And it also has garbage performance, to the point where it's literally faster for you run SQLite on top of IndexedDB instead: https://jlongster.com/future-sql-web

So ultimately if you want to have any data storage on the web that isn't just key-value, you now have to ship your own SQLite binary or use some custom JS storage library.

So end users now have to download a giant binary blob, that is also completely unauditable. And now that there is no standard storage solution, everybody uses a slew of different libraries to try to emulate SQL/NoSQL storage. And this storage is emulated on top of IndexedDB/LocalStorage so they are all trying to mangle high level data into key-value storage so it ends up being incredibly difficult to inspect as an end-user.

As a reminder: when the standards committee fails to create a good standard, the result is not "everybody doesn't do this because there is no standard", it is "everybody will still do this but they will do it 1 million different ways".
It's not "more" work; it's "different" work. I quite enjoy low-level optimizations, and all I have to do to work on that all day instead of coordination, meetings, and drudgery is convince people a few levels up the chain that the cost savings are huge and that the extra speed enables cool new features.

It's corporate America, so I'm going to be unceremoniously fired eventually anyway, but in the meantime I might as well enjoy myself, impress my coworkers, snag a promotion or two, and get a "made a cool new thing increasing profits $XX million/yr" line item on my resume.

> start your own business

Probably eventually, but starting a business is very different from being at a place big enough that I can profit my salary many times over just from faster code. If I start one, I'll write fast code there too, but "fast" isn't a business idea by itself, and I don't see anything wrong with doing a good job for whoever happens to be writing my paycheck.

It’s a good example of the media being split into two populations. The free media, which is filler for ads. And media one pays for. The financial press isn’t really headlining this story; it’s on CNBC.
He paid $11B in taxes in 2022, from what I could find. I don't see the US activity working to give that up, which would also send his multiple companies, some of which the government regularly does contracts with, to some other country. If they were to revoke it, I'm sure it would be a technicality and they'd give it right back to him.
How is the second point anything to do with DJIA and this news?
The concept of a unified memory for both programs and data has been presented for the first time in a public document in the report written by von Neumann.

It is likely that the Eckert-Mauchly team had arrived earlier at this idea, but there is no evidence about this.

Despite the possible precedence of Eckert, von Neumann is the one who deserves full credit for the content of the report, including the "von Neumann Architecture".

The decision made by von Neumann to distribute this report has provided incalculable benefits for all mankind. The report described how to make an electronic computer in a much more clear way than any of the Eckert-Mauchly team would have ever been able to explain.

The effect of the von Neumann report has been that multiple teams, first in USA and UK, then also in many other countries, have started immediately to work at the development of electronic computers, leading to a large number of successful research projects then to an explosion of the computer industry.

The public distribution of the von Neumann report has annoyed a lot the Eckert-Mauchly team, who wanted to keep these developments secret, because they were preparing the creation of their own startup company, in order to exploit computer technology for becoming rich. Without the interference of von Neumann, the creation of a big computer industry could have been delayed by a decade and it certainly would have been much less diverse.

After the war, the Eckert-Mauchly team has never made any significant technological progress, all the essential inventions that have improved the electronic computers have been made at a great number of companies, research institutions or universities. Had the design of electronic computers remained a monopoly, that would have happened much later.

Moreover, the Eckert-Mauchly team did not have much grounds to consider themselves as the owners of electronic computer technology, because they could not have done anything without a great amount of money from the government, and at the beginning they have also taken useful information about the electronic computing circuits used in the Atanasoff-Berry computer, without later acknowledging any of their sources of inspiration.

It will never be known how much of the von Neumann report has been created by von Neumann and how much he had already learned from discussions with members of the Eckert-Mauchly team. However, this does not matter, because either way the von Neumann report is what has taught the world how to make electronic computers.

This is one of the things LLM's have helped me move off excel. I have an office pc that has microsoft windows + office and home pc that only has linux mint and libreoffice. Previously for anything related to excel I would by habit remote into my office pc to get it done.

I started asking how to do stuff on libreoffice on chat gpt and google gemini. And looking at how detailed explanations we have on how to use spreadsheets explained in easy to understand terms for comparably non tech users a lot of stuff became easy to do. As llm had detailed usually correct answers and suggestions. I would have learned my way to doing it anyway but LLM's brought the learning curve down from a few hours to a few min so was willing to just use libre office.

I'm not sure this is true.

Like you said, the cooking of the inside is a function of the water vapor escape, which is a function of temperature and wrapping.

People elsewhere in this thread have said they have tried both methods, and commented on how when deep frying a whole baked potato, the escaping water vapor causes the oil to visibly, vigorously boil, but this doesn't happen with rosin, suggesting the vapor remains trapped inside.

While liquid water cannot go above 100C, water vapor certainly can. That water remains in the potato after cooking can just be re-condensed vapor. How the expanded gas would remain in the potato I have no idea.

My interpretation is that the difference from deep-frying is that something about the rosin method prevents as much water vapor from escaping. Maybe it's just typical cooking temperatures, and a deep fryer set to the same temperature as the rosin pot would yield a similar result, they just usually aren't set to that temperature.

For the longest period machinery involved wooden components (wheels, shafts etc). Maybe the term "bug" originates from wood-eating bugs that were literally eating parts of the machinery or at least affecting its function?

But that's the problem with the OP's job - "first hire onto the brand new JS Infra team".

That doesn't sound like a customer/external developer-facing position.

It can be hard to make a visible impact when your work is hidden behind many layers. But that's the nature of their job - it's not a "rainmaker" position, it's a cost centre.

But it sounds like they wanted to have a job that had more visible impact.
God is available in far less distant, expensive, and conspicuous places than Notre Dame. If there's a fuss - provide a quiet, humble little chapel somewhere, free, "for good Christians to meditate and pray, away from the noisy tourists".

For people who still make a fuss - require that they buy a "VIP Pass" for €500.00. Maybe print Mark 12:41-44 on that pass, in case the don't get the point.

Then give away "VIP Pearl Pass"es to those who volunteers at least 200 hours/year maintaining France's sacred places, memorials, and graveyards.
You can't REALLY be friends with people that can extend or end your career. Needing to promote and fire people is part of the job. Doing these things friends is almost impossible to do.

I'm almost certain this is talked about in most managerial training curriculums.

This manager's tactic sounds like a tip from a book they read. Creating a safe space for teammates to feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable is ver hard, but asking them to be a smidge more vulnerable than last time is inauthentic and potentially dangerous in the hands of management with ulterior motives.

Because I’m so used to excel, I really have a hard time using sheets, it’s different enough to be annoying and easy enough to export to xls to open in excel and do things the way I want to.

One thing I’ve had success with lately is chat-gpt 4o to manipulate large sheets. Sometimes it is really dumb and ruins my data, so always keep the last iteration handy… Sometimes it does some really great things, especially comparing multiple excel files.
Guess it depends upon the region; https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/con#Nom_commun_1 has an example (sense 3) with the valence I tend to hear:

– C'est un imbécile..., lâcha le garçon.
– Non, c'est un con.
– C'est pareil.
M. Pelletier s'arrêta de jouer.
– Non, c'est pas pareil. Si tu expliques trois fois un truc
à quelqu'un et qu'il ne le comprend pas, c'est un imbécile.
Mais si, à la fin, il est certain de l'avoir compris mieux
que toi, alors, tu as affaire à un con. — (Pierre Lemaître,

The finance department in a previous job rather undramatically moved over to Google Sheets from Excel after seeing the befits of the collaboration/online environment.

They got some help by me for moving out the heavy stuff to SQL/BigQuery but that was also for the better. BigQuery and Sheets integrate very well these days so they could even use a Google sheet as a UI for the queries. Rows and columns, much better than any other web UI.

I've exclusively used Numbers for as long as the app has been around. It meets all of my needs, including almost seamless Excel compatibility for imports and exports should the need arise.

The IT industry overall remains similarly entrenched. Enterprise software vendors insist on Windows dependency, staying tethered to outdated standards; upholding an inefficient status quo that serves only MSFT, developers, and technicians—not users nor progress.
Strongly disagree. 45 days to allow the authors to fix a bug that has been present for over a decade is not really much added risk for users. In this case, 45 days is about 1% additional time for the bug to be around. Maybe someone was exploiting it, but this extra time risk is a drop in the bucket, whereas releasing the bug immediately puts all users at high risk until a patch can be developed/released, and users update their software.

Maybe immediate disclosure would cause a few users to change their behavior, but no one is tracking security disclosures on all the software they use and changing their behavior based on them.

The caveat here is in case you have evidence of active exploitation, then immediate disclosure makes sense.
I suppose the question is are you in the 0.00001% of the population anyone would care about?

I had met someone once who made a point that the value of a Harvard MBA was not the education, but rather that you got selected/admitted to this program and could use the brand.

I believe the same is true for YC. The primary value is being able to claim that you’re funded by YC and you were part of a cohort. That opens doors, to both investors as well as potential partners. The education/advice is standard and freely available everywhere.
