No matter where you fall on the line between "seize all rental properties and give them to the homeless" and "if you can't buy a house you should go starve to death in the woods", I think most reasonable people would agree that giving open permission to set up a zone where laws barely apply and people who live there or happen to be don't get the same degree of protection and law enforcement as you could expect on the sidewalk in front of a Walmart to be a bad idea.
It also assumes that "productivity" is something that is meaningful at all at the level of individuals, not teams or larger. IMHO, it is not.

To me the biggest insight here is that no matter what data science you're trying to do on a group of employees, the people you already have decided should be fired or promoted from that group are outliers and should be removed from the sample.

There are certainly times that you would want them included, but those can be classified under "budgeting," not gaining insight on a workforce.

Show HN: KeyTik – All in One Automation Tool and Keyboard Remapper with Profiles
Hello Everyone!
I start this project a while ago. It's about a all-in-one automation tool such as auto clicker, screen clicker, keyboard remapper and more in a single app. This work using AutoHotkey, so what this project do basically is taking input from user then create an AutoHotkey script from that. The goal is to made a software that can do almost all automation task while also can be used as AutoHotkey script manager.

I made this at first for my personal use like gaming because creating AutoHotkey script every single time i play new game is bit inconvenient. But then it start getting audience so i decided to develop it further. AutoHotkey is powerful script to do this and it make my project lightweight that's why i decided to use it.

Another specialty is use script or remap on specific keyboard or mouse. To do this, i use AutoHotkey wrapper, AutoHotkey Interception by evilC and Interception Driver by oblitum.

I would like to ask opinion and suggestion about this and if you don't mind, help me test it out. While the basic feature i can say it's working perfectly fine, i am still not sure about the assign script on specific device feature. As for now i only test it with my keyboard laptop and my mouse and it work (I only have that to test it). Also i would like to ask whether windows show any warning or not (Untrusted source or false positive) because i use pyinstaller to compile it. I use onedir function so i hope it didn't trigger windows warning. Also does my documentation is clear or it can be improved?

Thank you everyone. I really appreciate your support!

That is not the only limitation of WAL mode.

“It is not possible to change the page size after entering WAL mode.”

“In addition, WAL mode comes with the added complexity of checkpoint operations and additional files to store the WAL and the WAL index.”

https://www.vldb.org/pvldb/vol15/p3535-gaffney.pdf

“SQLite does not guarantee ACID consistency with ATTACH DATABASE in WAL mode. “Transactions involving multiple attached databases are atomic, assuming that the main database is not ":memory:" and the journal_mode is not WAL. If the main database is ":memory:" or if the journal_mode is WAL, then transactions continue to be atomic within each individual database file. But if the host computer crashes in the middle of a COMMIT where two or more database files are updated, some of those files might get the changes where others might not.”

Do other smooth surface spherical objects have the same effect?

Sound reflects off smooth surfaces. The ballon is probably just acting like any simple physical obstruction, because the surface does a lot all by itself even if theres almost no substance.

The air inside the ballon is also at a different density than outside, without helium, because of the elastic tension in the rubber. The air inside is always slightly compressed vs outside. I have no idea how much the two densities must differ to make the accoustic lense effect. I din't think it's this, just everyone seemed to be overlooking that even plain air will also have a different density.

Unless you are measuring the output of people on simple assembly lines, it is very difficult to define "performance".

In a properly functioning team, people perform different, discrete roles which are probably not entirely understood by other team members or management.

Cool data/idea, and anecdotally lines up with my experiance at BigCos from a coworker perspective.

But in my experiance employee perf evals are more political than data based.

At the end of the day a lot of mgmt at BigCo, esp these days, wants that 10% quota for firing as a weapon/soft layoff and the "data" is a fig leaf to make that happen. More generously it's considered a forcing function for managers to actually find underperformers in their orgs, even if they don't exist. Either way it's not really based on anything other than their own confirmation bias.

IME the scrutiny of perf evaluation is basically tied to the trajectory of the company and labor market conditions. Even companies with harder perf expectations during the good times of ~2021 relaxed their requirements.

While its true its still only worth a house. If more housing drives home prices down, its still worth one house. If prices go up, its still one house. When your kids need a home of their own in the area they need one house per kid. One house does not become multiple houses in any market unless you buy worse houses, throw in a loan, or move away where homes and job opportunities are less. In either case, whatever housing policy happens doesn’t change much about how this form of inheritance works. And if these kids never buy a house and merely rent and throw money in the stock market, their kids might inherit more than any equity gain would have given them I expect and doesn’t require lucking out being born early in a hot housing market either.

As employees, our expectations for performance management come from the system of giving grades in school.

What's interesting is that school grades often doesn't follow a normal distribution, especially for easier classes. I suspect that getting an "A" was possible for 95%+ of students in my gym class and only 5-10% of the students in my organic chemistry class.

In the same way, some jobs are much easier to do well than others.

So we should expect that virtually all administrative positions will have "exceptional" performance, which is to say that they were successful at doing all of the tasks they were asked to do. But for people who's responsibility-set is more consequential, even slightly-above average performance could be 10x more meaningful to the company.

People seem to get caught up in the political end of this issue but the fact is the US is spending 1.7T a year MORE than its tax base supports.

At the same time, taking a natural resource[land] and reserving it for exclusive whether it be private or public ownership is also not a right. It's a consequence of the myth of necessary order - that the garden is preferable to the wild, that boundaries and order are necessary to function, but like this, the comprehensive ownership of land is in fact the cause of this very issue. If there was a wild or commons, this problem would cease to exist.

I love that they have affilate links in the article for a product that "wasn’t built for this world".
The article does briefly caution about measuring difficulties. But given that the main conclusion is an argument against stack-ranking-and-firing, the question of "what is performance" passes forward to whatever metric the stack-ranking manager was going to use when they were planning to fire the "bottom" 10% of their payroll.
Exactly... I find all the arguments in the style of "but we need food" extremely disingenuous when it comes to meat production. Almost without exception, more food could be produced by converting land used for animal agriculture into land used to grow food directly for human consumption.

Having a shifted mean doesn't mean they aren't a normal distribution. Not saying they are necessarily, but the anecdote you are providing isn't convincing.
I did an undergrad CS degree after ten years of working as a professional software developer, and then went on to do OMSCS. My classes for probability and matrixes assumed no particular knowledge of them so I didn't regret not learning anything about them before. Learning proofs from scratch for discrete math was very difficult though.

I had to pick up the notation, the logical patterns, the prose style, as well as the new model of reasoning all at the same time. If I were doing it again I would definitely get at least very basic familiarity with how proofs work before starting.

Also just algebra and basic math skills. I was having to go back and relearn like middle school math, I didn't have confidence with basic things like multiply and divide fractions, exponents, logarithms, etc.

I was trying to learn trig on the side to keep up with calculus and it was a disaster, I failed calc 1 the first time. Given the constraints I had with work I'm not sure how I could have prepared better, it's just too big of a gap to easily fill on nights and weekends in a few months. But yeah learn algebra and trig before you do a CS degree.

> China is not at all like the USSR ... China has an absolutely crazy abundance of consumer products

Products for export, yes. It doesn't have a particularly strong consumer economy because its model is to keep Chinese labour poor whilst building up huge foreign reserves and gutting foreign competitors. That's why Chinese consumption is still far below the US:

https://capx.co/xi-jinpings-coercion-is-destroying-his-own-e...

"private consumption accounts for just 39% of the economy – extremely low by world standards (the figure in the US is 68%). But there is no consumer confidence, with 80% of family wealth tied up in property and no meaningful social safety net."
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the abstract here, but doesn't this also suggest that lonely individuals more readily reach their own conclusions about common ideas and concepts? I can't get away from the thought that all this confirms is that groups tend to converge their thinking and speech through regular contact, and that different social groups (including groups of one) will diverge in thinking over time.

> Western governments have just become NIMBY-entrenched. The whole culture and bureaucracy is designed to make building things expensive, painful, and time-consuming, and then we look around and wonder why we can't seem to build enough housing.

Time and time again, companies have shown they will cut corners to make money. Much regulation exists to prevent people from being injured or killed, or for other legitimate reasons. Let's at least start by acknowledging that. (Of course petty bureaucrats and regulation do exist.)

> The various regulations were mostly well intentioned, but we've obviously gone too far.

How is this obvious? By the fact there is not enough housing where people want to live, and too much housing in other less desirable places? In the Western world in general? In Canada? In the US? In specific areas of the US/Canada?

> If private companies are unable to provide more of a product even when demand is obvious and prices are high, something is very wrong.

Unable... or unwilling? There's a difference between affordable housing and available housing. And ways to fix that other than flooding the market with so much housing to force an overabundance. That's kind of wasteful, too. For example, allowing developers to pay a one-time fine if they don't provide any affordable options in a new huge apartment block is probably a poor strategy.

I'm all for making things better. The "too much regulation" thing is just a bit too facile of an argument. In the US at least, there usually exist places where there is less regulation. Weirdly, people don't automatically move there.
So you're saying that if you don't think about construct validity and just pick any given metric that can spit out a comparable number across all your different positions and teams, that these metrics have weird distributions? Hmm, I wonder why.

You could replace "employee performance" with "value to the company" and the same argument would hold. Performance is difficult to measure, but we get a good estimate of value to the company any time someone receives a competing offer and drags their manager to the negotiating table.

The amount of money the manager is willing to match is the perceived value to the company. This is how the company actually behaves (we know for sure whether they match the offer or not) and that behavior implies a value to the company, regardless of what anyone says in performance review season.
