> a team's tech lead and manager can be two different people

Yes, I've worked in an environment like that. I had a "functional manager" that took care of the HR side of things and a "team lead" that kind of led an effort for a specific project. They also interacted with each other about how things were going. I also agree that for small, high-performing teams it can be a very nice arrangement for everyone.

But my point was that the "team lead" role ends up requiring some amount of people management while not taking over as the primary focus for the person with that role, "no idle time for micro management" as you said. I may have been lazy with "a primary focus" as a construction because while I don't think it's >50% of time for a team lead in the structure I worked in or imagined in this discussion, I do think it can be around 20% for that person, depending on how they feel about people management, and the dynamics that exist between those involved, and the size of the team being led.

Don't you think that something which combines ideas from Firejail and Guix containers could be good enough?

For those who have not used Firejail, it is a sandbox that comes with default security profiles for most popular Linux binaries, so it's pretty unobtrusive. Say you want to run Firefox, Firejail limits access Firefox to ~/.mozilla and ~/Downloads by default. So, in case Firefox is compromised, attackers can't steal things from other $HOME directories like ~/.ssh.

On the other hand, Guix lets you launch ephemeral shells, like Nix, with any combination of packages. Unlike Nix, it provides a very convenient set of flags to sandbox the shell in terms of network, files, etc. This is handy for development tasks where you would like to have fine-grained capabilities.

I think your final statement touches on another larger issue within the Democratic Party - it's been pulled much closer to the extreme-left than most of it's constituents are actually comfortable with. This pull is because of these extremely loud voices - amplified by nearly all of the media. Democrats of a decade ago have found themselves nearly party-less.

It is now, it used to be a lot shorter. "Up or out" has effectively been sacrificed to cost savings, which is perhaps a good thing in some ways.
You write a lot about the importance of primary sources. I agree with you w.r.t. their importance. I just disagree with that a primary source is automatically the best conveyor of its own message. The primary source has to be read with every bit of the skepticism and critical analysis you apply to secondary sources, if not more.

The stunning defeat was not isolated to just presidential politics (although that was a complete shutout by the numbers) - the entire country has been resoundingly swept by Republicans. There are only a handful of places that performed on-average or better for Democrats than previous campaigns - and there are many places that set historic-firsts by driving so hard into deep red.

You can break it down by location, culture, ethnicity, etc. Any way you want - and Republicans took massive gains at Democrat's expense.

It's really hard to call this anything other than a resounding defeat.

Firejail uses "Linux container" technology (term?) which is not that secure. Better is using selinux to confine the browser, like Android and ChromeOS do.

(Fedora and Red Hat have selinux, too, but the focus is on server security: there is no attempt to confine browsers in the selinux rules that ship with Fedora and Red Hat.)

I suspect the variant is in different peoples views on what constitutes 'sexual harassment'. There was a significant reduction in this (especially in the workplace) in the 90s and 00s. The issue wasn't (and never will be) solved, but has objectively improved significantly.

In the last 10-15 years (especially since #metoo) the bar seems to have moved drastically, what is encompassed under this term has changed. Additionally, a whole new generation grew up now having experinenced the decades before, setting their expectations differently.

I strongly suspect yours and the GPs people you've spoken to come from different age demographics, politicial spheres or both.
It is absolutely not rigorous enough, I'm afraid.

Sure, it feels wasteful to cover any part of the disc twice. But it also feels wasteful to cover bits near the edge with strips that have only a short length of overlap with the circle. It's not obvious that there isn't some clever way to reduce the second kind of waste that requires you to commit the first kind.

Perhaps the following observation will help. Replace the circle with a "+" shape made out of five equal squares (like the cross on the Swiss flag). The most efficient way to cover this with strips is (I think -- I haven't actually tried to prove it) to use two strips "along" the arms of the cross. Those overlap in the middle, but they still do the job more efficiently than using (say) a single strip of 3x the width.

So, how do you know that nothing like that happens with a disc instead of a cross?

> Ukraine is my pet war. Nobody cares about either it...

I grew up in Seattle, but I currently live a few hundred km from the russian invasion of Ukraine.

Today, a boy who has my first name, his mother, and grandmother were killed by a russian attack on their apartment. [0] This is pure terrorism, by definition. This is an everyday occurrence for the last three years.

While I do get emotional about what is happening in Ukraine, my main concern is about my immediate family in Seattle.

I am convinced that The West's de-escalation policy in Ukraine has led to what will become the greatest hit to nuclear non-proliferation, ever.

Russia could have been easily defeated in first part of the war, instead, we "de-escalated." This proved to any one of our theoretical allies that any country threatened by their neighbors should get nukes to defend themselves asap.

This made my Seattle family less safe, and was a mistake. This naive wavering has made all citizens of the USA less safe. </rant>

Genuine question:

How is this clear? What lever could Zuck pull that would prevent this harm?

From the research I’ve read the harm of social media is, almost exclusively, in the zone of what people post on it (ex: bullying) or what they are seeking to accomplish by posting (ex: looksmaxxing). I struggle to see how the harm that causes is caused by the ability to share it.
Ain't this the truth. So many mediocre people hide in a giant company, learn how to hit their kpis and think they're crushing it, but get smacked in the face by reality when they leave.

Not in the USA, since the 19th century but especially since Miranda v. Arizona:

"[A]ny evidence that the accused was threatened, tricked, or cajoled into a waiver will, of course, show that the Defendant did not voluntarily waive his privilege." -Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 477 (1966).

If the detectives make any kind of promises or threats then your lawyer will be able to suppress the entire interview.

Here is the waiver sheet used by the US Treasury, and this is similar to the waiver sheets used by police departments all over the USA, it reads "I understand the statement of my rights above as they have been read and explained to me and I waive them freely and voluntarily, without threat or intimidation, and without any promise of reward or immunity."

It’s possible to assign further ranks to subdivide titles appropriately.

I find generic ABX tests not great, personally, because I generally don’t know what to be listening for. However, with songs I’ve listened to lossless my whole life, it’s much easier to spot encoding failures - an intuitive “wait, that cymbal crash sounded different” or “that multi-instrument harmonic should be cleaner/dirtier.”

That being said, 320Kbps AAC encoded by Core Audio I’ve found to be pretty much transparent with anything I’ve thrown at it. Anything less than that (256Kbps AAC, 320Kbps MP3, etc) I can ABX sometimes, as long as I’m familiar with the source material, and usually only with quality headphones. Although no streaming services provide that, so I’m stuck with ALAC through Apple Music for streaming (which is more convenient than my old solution, which was transcoding and transferring to an iPod ~20k songs selected from ~90k in my library based on a variety of rules than never gave me the song I’m looking for). And really, ~900Kbps lossless is pretty easy to justify these days with 5G data speeds and generally much higher data transfer limits.

The other downside to storing losing encodings these days is the fact that almost everyone uses Bluetooth for their listening, which is an additional lossy encoding. While 256Kbps AAC/320Kbps MP3 might be transparent in some cases, when it’s re-encoded it very rarely is (in my experience)
“Number of Americans on food stamps” doesn’t mean much. It tapers off pretty quickly, and you get something like $5.31 a month. Many people who qualify don’t bother.

Food stamps was historically a subsidy for farmers as much as a welfare program. I read something about that changing, but don’t know the details.

But I qualified for food stamps long after I was making good money.

For me the interesting part of Firejail is the interface. bwrap is usually recommended as a replacement given that the binary is smaller and thus offers less attack surface, which I think is the usual concern. Firejail employs kernel user_namespaces, but also offers integration with AppArmor.
If you don't know the language, and it's different from what you know, it may look incomprehensible to you whether it's complex or not.

For example, the Korean alphabet is pretty simple, and the spelling is simpler than English, but to English speakers it can look intimidating, like hundreds of blocks of unrecognizable squiggles.

The article (over)uses macros, which make the code look more convoluted than it really is. The macro-by-example syntax is conceptually simple, but it has a punctuation-heavy syntax that may look alien if you don't know what you're looking at. BTW, this macro system has been originally designed for JavaScript, which is why even in Rust it looks odd by Rust's standards.

Sure. They’re not. They’re lying to get coöperation from criminal suspects for no financial gain. Similar but categorically different.

Should our diplomats be required to divulge state secrets if asked nicely? Even acknowledge them? This is HN—we’ve been proximate to or even held power, corporate potentially state. Policing is adversarial. No lying outside arrest, sure, but once in custody, the cops should be allowed to lie but not materially mislead you in respect of your rights. Anything else doesn’t work to the point that it gets replaced with popular backing.

IMHO: This is the closest thing to a "cure" coming out in the next decade. Like a couple injections a day, wearing a CGM to make sure it is working, no calculations, no worry about carb intake.

A lot of the other "cures" involve immunosuppressants which have a ton of bad side effects that can be worse than diabetes.

Interesting analogy, made more interesting still if one replaces "heart" with "brain."

And what if you reverse mitochondria and host cell? If you remove the mitochondria, is the host cell still alive? The analogy would be to remove the heart from its 'host' environment, and asking if the remaining body still can be called alive.

Would you believe we were once writing code without going online and with just a few essential commercial libraries, if anything besides what our OS and toolchain provides at all? We'd literally have to keep a mental model of our code and all the things it touches and would personally write the utilities we needed to get it done.

Of course it's absurd to claim "every line was written with care" but there really has been a radical transformation in how people engage with the craft and the kind of work they produce as a result.

And the current way is quite hapless in comparsion, even while it enables more people to participate and even if the end products have capabiltiies that people couldn't even consider a few decades ago. As an industry, we make wild stuff now and that's impressive. But as a craft, we're in a very dark place that's looking even dimmer with the arrival of generative coding assistants and bots.

> Everything about a "lawyer dog" is just bad journalism.

No. Not at all. From [0]:

> On Friday, the Louisiana Supreme Court declined to review the trial court’s ruling in State v. Demesme refusing to exclude incriminating statements that Desmesme allegedly made to a detective. The vote was 6-1 but there was no majority opinion—the court just denied review and noted one justice had voted to grant it. But Justice Crichton, one of the six concurring justices, did write a very brief opinion, saying he wanted to “spotlight the very important constitutional issue” presented. The conclusion above—including “reference to a ‘lawyer dog'”—is taken almost word-for-word from that opinion.

The conclusion mentioned in the quote above is in the article linked at [0]. The article is well worth reading.

> Since that wasn't an unambiguous statement saying he wanted a lawyer...

When you look at the entire sentence, it is clear that it really, really unambiguous is to anyone who isn't interested in jailing someone who talks funny:

> [I]f y’all, this is how I feel, if y’all think I did it, I know that I didn’t do it so why don’t you just give me a lawyer, [dawg] cause this is not what’s up.

"If you think I did it, just give me a lawyer." The desire for a lawyer is clear as day to anyone who's not using motivated reasoning to fabricate excuses to "justify" trampling over the rights of regular folks.
