Yes, that was a blunt way of saying it, I admit it. Now given the number of upvotes, it seems like it resonates.

A more nuanced way of saying this is that if you need to carefully think about how you address your manager, then it hints towards the fact that your manager is not good at being a manager. And in that case there is no way you can teach them if you are their report (if you know better, maybe you should be the manager instead, but it means that you put your manager in a bad position by showing it).

It is also a bit extreme to say that a good manager never needs feedback. What I meant is that they don't need feedback about how they fundamentally behave as a manager. Of course they need to receive information from their reports (be it just "we can't do this because I just proved that it is technically impossible").

The difference is that with a good manager, you won't have to read articles teaching you how to not hurt their pride.

And finally, the problem maybe on the side of the subordinate. But in that case it's not a problem of talking to the hierarchy: if an employee hurts his colleagues because they communication is too harsh, then of course there is something to improve there. But in my experience, employees tend to "blend in": if everybody talks trash of everything, then newcomers will adapt. If everybody is respectful, newcomers will be respectful.

Hah, amazing! That brings back memories. The PC where the guy with the red t-shirt is sitting is where one regular used to come in and send out his erotic fanfic. He'd bring in a floppy disk that he'd set up at home and always seemed to have problems getting it to read - so we'd have to go over and help him out all the time.
Usually it’s procrastination and anxiety escapism, and it’s all automatic. To know what goes through your head you have to reflect a lot and wouldn’t have the issue in the first place if you did that. Reflection is hard and its insights are very situational so I wouldn’t expect anyone to fully answer it.
Hard no.

There is already people who uses k8s that does not understand how it works or even know how the app works inside k8s.

Adding AI to it is just asking for a disaster down the line.
Congrats on the launch. Seems quite interesting!

My only queation/feedback is: What policies do you have in place to prevent bad outsourcing or exploitative behavior like what has been done by big-tech companies that turn a blind eye to what happens in, for example, Kenya [0] for the training of AI models?

Love the book! It's fun and inspiring to write programs recreationally!
Yes! LEDs are the wrong color, flicker, and are directional plus they burn out in just as much time as a good old incandescent but cost more than 10 times the price and when that happens you can't just dispose of them in the regular household garbage (actually one could). They are only better than the compact fluorescent that were all the rage for a while.
So you’re asking if the majority of Californians would gladly see Musk be excluded from these benefits? Seems like the recent election results would be a pretty good indicator of how that would go. And assuming that they would, then you’re okay with it, right?

Also, don’t confuse gerrymandered elections with overwhelming support. Texas turned disenfranchising people into an art form. What the voting lines say and what the people want are rarely aligned. The Texas government knows this. The people know this (ex Texan here). Its cleverly and not secretly crafted to make it nearly impossible for the state to go blue.
Don't get me started on college admissions essays. Rich kids pay other people to write them. Poor kids don't understand the class-markers they're expected to include. If AI consigns them to the dustbin of history it might be the first unalloyed good that tech ever does.
I don't want no stinkin' `venv` is my point
Funny, still not what I said.

Progress is way too slow and blindly follows local maximii. That's not OK. That's the part I am expressing displeasure with.
This seems roundabout. If Elon Musk objects to The Onion using InfoWars' X accounts, can't he just make up a reason to ban them after the sale goes through? It's not like X can't unilaterally and arbitrarily close accounts.
Are you a billionaire?
So you agree the question is meaningless. If “better” means “better enough to overcome the switching cost”, then the answer to “would you switch ISP if you had a better option?” would by definition always be yes.

I specifically asked not to focus on examples but OK, I guess you really had to get it off your chest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The topic was not "Electron vs. Qt" at all.

Good for them, to me it's a mood and productivity killer. And no I'll not change my mind on this, ever.

Broader point is: the people who worked on Electron, Slack etc. should have really done better. But I have witnessed how job security almost always leads to sloppy work.
Advanced reminders are going to be a thing for the next big release. I agree that one problem is to pass the unlock, but staying on track with your intention is a different story. One periodical notification with static text can in theory fix that, but the chances are low in comparison to the full-screen pop-up. I intentionally focused on the unlock procedure first. For now, you can combine it with other apps like minimalistic launchers and apps that pop up after the app opens. But eventually, improving the reminder experience can make the solution more complete, I agree.

About typing "captcha" or random characters. I think it's just a different type of nudge. Another can be a small mini-game to play like catching a moving object. I'm going to consider adding different types of nudges to the app. Thanks for the suggestion.
Who are you to tell others what they are allowed to think and talk about?
Every guy that joins or starts new project - instead of reading and getting familiar with what is available does his own stuff.

I see this happening all the time and unless you really have DevOps or SysAdmins who are feel acting like 'assholes' enforcing rules it is going to be like that.

Of course 'assholes' is in quotes because they have to be firm and deny a lot fo crap to keep setup clean - but then also they will be assholes for some that "just want to do stuff".

In the really olden days: reserves were physical gold or cash in your vault. (These days, it's a bit more complicated.)

About loss absorbing capital: companies usually finance themselves from two sources equity and debt. (Normal companies get their debt from their bank, or they issue bonds. Banks get some of their debt in the form of deposits.)

To give an example, supposed you have 2 billion dollars lying around, and you start a bank. You take another 8 billion dollars in debt (say as deposits), and you use that to make 10 billion dollars of loans and other investments.

If you investments gain in money, you keep the profit. Your accountant will count it as an increase in your capital, from 2 billion to, say, 3 billion. Basically, capital is just what's left of your assets after you subtract all your debt.

If your investments lose money, your capital shrinks. Say your investments are now worth only 9 billion dollars, but you still have 8 billion in deposits. Then you only have 9 - 8 = 1 billion in capital left.

There's never any money in the vault, ie no reserves, in our example. When a depositor wants their money, you sell some of your investments to cover that. As long as your total investments are worth more than your total deposits, this is fine.

(For convenience, real world banks keep some reserves around even when not legally required, so they can satisfy withdrawal requests directly, instead of having to sell some investments for every little withdrawal request.)

Obviously, the more capital cushion your bank has the larger a decline in the value of your investments you can absorb as losses, before your depositors and other creditors need to get nervous.

Back in Scotland's free banking era, when financial regulation was very light, banks over there routinely kept around a third of their total balance sheet as equity and two thirds as debt.

Today because of all the regulation we have accumulated and especially the too-big-too-fail expectations, banks need to be forced to even keep around 8% of their balance sheet as equity.

(It doesn't help that interest on debt can be paid with pre-tax money, but return on capital (ie dividends) comes largely out of post-tax money. So debt is cheaper.)
This is the status quo. The fifth unit in Thiel’s Stanford startup lectures was titled “Competition is for losers”.

I am a bit confused because I had read that the RPi5 had dropped hardware acceleration for video encoding. Is that wrong?

Because that wouldn't be a faster, drop-in upgrade, right?
"I am cutting this corner because I absolutely cannot make a business case I believe in for doing it the hard (but more correct) way but believe me I am still going to be low key paranoid about it indefinitely" is an experience that I think a lot of us can relate to.

I've actually asked for a task to be reassigned to somebody else before now on the grounds that I knew it deserved to be done the simple way but could not for the life of me bring myself to implement that.

As stated in the manifesto "while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more."

That doesn't mean there isn't room or need for contracts. A contract can and should exist with clear expectations of the customer's involvement and availability with customer response and turn around times and what the consequences are if the customer doesn't fulfill their end of the "bargain".
Either way, it’s all about finding what clicks for you!

Is this actually legal to do? Sounds like jamming.
Its a matter of evaluating what kind of infrastructure your application needs to run on. There are certainly mission critical systems where even a sliver of downtime causes real damage, like lost revenue. If you come to the conclusion that this application and everything it involves better run on k8s for availability reasons, you should probably focus on that and code your application in a k8s-friendly manner.

But there are tons of applications that run on over-engineered cloud environments that may or may not involve k8s and probably cost more to operate than they must. I use some tools every day where a daily 15 min downtime would not affect my or my work in the slightest. I am not saying this would be desirable per se. Its just that a lot of people (myself included) are happy to spend an hour of their work day talking to colleagues and drinking coffee, but a 15 min downtime of some tool is seen as an absolute catastrophe.

It's simple. Big tech doesn't like regulation. By pretending the regulation won't let them release "all these cool things" they can turn public opinion against regulation.

A few things here and a few stats:

- Firstly, I admit I can't find where I heard the age 35 specific claim to reference it. I have listed two sources below and found an even stronger claim by Thomas Sowell (that most people at one year of their life in America earn top 20% income), but it wasn't that statement I was looking for, so I will keep try to find it. But income decile movement surveys in the UK supports this, as do dynamic income surveys conducted in the US, so I'll share those to you:

- Income is highly mobile. When tracking what income groups have, within groups there is great variation. Half the people with top 20% of income drop out of the top 20% over 5 year periods, with a significant proportion of those dropping out (30%) dropping to below average income. In other words 15% of the people earning the top quintile of income will earn below average income in 5 years time.

... Meanwhile, showing upwards mobility, 20% of the people earning the 20% lowest in the UK moved to the top 40% of income by just 5 years later in this study (Figure 19 / corresponding table) - https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/income-dynamics-201...

- You seem to assume income goes up over time, however in western countries, income tends to peak at 30-50, hence 35 in the stat. It peaks at age 37 and stays flatish until it declines from age 44 in the UK, for example: https://www.statista.com/statistics/824464/mean-disposable-i...

- Historically, older people earned more in the 40s and 50s, but due to COVID or the simple growth in proportion of people economically inactive or in part time roles at those ages, you can see how in the UK in the last 20 years that trend disappeared: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personal...

- Children and pensioners essentially earn nothing for the purposes of this stat, but as they still spend (or indirectly through parents consume) money, they're in this total. Pensioners are reasonably part of this stat because they are spending in the economy, but are seldom members of the "working population"

The main resource I would suggest on income mobility is "Chasing the American Dream: Understanding What Shapes Our Fortunes" which is based on the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) [https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jacc.12716] - it does date to the 70s/80s, but it focuses on: can you achieve top income, can you have income security. Their major finding is that A) Most people through randomness and effort end up earning above-average incomes during the middle stage of their life, and that B) Wealth, but not income, is cumulative.

This is also historically constant, for example Thomas Sowell wrote about how most Americans at the time would be in the top 20% of income for at least one year of their life in "Economic Facts and Fallacies" and "Basic Economics". (obviously the UK quintile study notes decreased lower income exit mobility which is bad for poorer people and means dynamic income mobility is reducing).
The article reads to me as pretty explicitly saying that the only real takeaway wrt k8s itself is "it was the wrong choice for us and then we compounded that wrong choice by making more wrong choices in how we implemented it."
Yes. To oversimplify, capital is what's left after you take all your assets and subtract all your debt.

So you take all the investments that the bank has made (loans, but also their brand value, the office buildings they own and operate in, etc) and subtract all the deposits and outstanding bonds etc, and what's left over is their capital.

Another related way to measure that is to look at total market capitalisation. (But market cap makes economic sense, that's not the definition of loss absorbing capital that's used in the regulations.)
This book got me started with Janet a few months ago, and I really think it helped me get past the difficulty I've had in the past starting with Lisp-y languages (Janet is Lisp like only in appearance afaik) but this just clicked. I'm having a lot of fun writing Janet and refer back to the book often.

I do think the macro example that is early in the book is a little overwhelming; if you can get past that everything is far easier. Whats great is that you can leave the author a comment right from the repl, so I did :)

You still have fractional reserve banking, even with zero mandatory reserve requirements.

Btw, banks still keep plenty of reserves around. See https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TOTRESNS for the US.
It seems that anyone who has ever played games like Factorio or Satisfactory can readily extrapolate similar real-world conclusions. Physical inefficiencies are merely an interface issue that erodes over time with intelligent modularizations and staging of form factors at various scales.

It would, if people actually defined new errors. But, as I mentioned in my message, people just use `errors.New` or `fmt.Errorf`, all the way down, so you end up with errors that cannot be matched. Which means, in turn, that if these are errors that should be handled properly (and not just propagated/logged), they cannot.

Show HN: A comprehensive voice notes app that works well across platforms
We launched the first version of Audionotes (www.audionotes.app) in May 2023, riding the Whisper/AI voice notes hype wave. Built it on Bubble, jumped on the hype train, but something wasn't clicking despite all our improvements.

The hard truth? We didn't really know what problem we were solving or who we were solving it for. Most importantly - we weren't even using our own product.

A few months ago - we went through some serious soul-searching. We talked to our users (like, really talked), figured out what actually mattered, understood who needed this, and decided to build something we'd genuinely love to use ourselves.

In 4 months of building, we've rebuilt Audionotes from the ground up. It's now a voice-first but complete note-taking app that just works. Perfect for brain dumps, meeting captures, lecture notes, or daily journaling.

What we've built:
- The whole package: voice notes, file uploads, text notes, scanned images, and YouTube video notes
- Transcription, summaries, and custom outputs that actually make sense
- Smart meeting notes with speaker detection
- Chat with your notes (single or all) - like having a conversation with your brain
- WhatsApp bot for instant transcription and summaries
Plays nice with others: Notion, Zapier, and webhook support
- Web, iOS, Android, and Chrome Extension

We've poured our hearts into this rebuild, and it feels different this time because we're building for ourselves as much as for our users.

Would love for you to try it out and tell us what you think!

Are the people who decided to spin up a separate kubernetes cluster for each microservice still employed at your organization? If so, I don't have high hopes for your new solution either.
I've always been fond of blaming myself and asking everybody else to help make sure I don't cock it up a second time - when it works out I get lots of help, lots of useful feedback, and everybody else feels good about putting the effort in.

This does require management who won't punish you for recording it as your fault, though. I've been fairly lucky in that regard.
This FAANG stuff is coming a bit from left field here. I have my thoughts on their involvement with the US government, but I cannot testify if those thoughts are the same for any other tech person on this platform. Lots of other stuff to say, but generally, I tend to apply the same mental tools to everyone. You should ask everyone else for their opinions individually though.
Remember using shell scripts to remove some insane node/js-brain-thonk hints, being easier than trying to reverse engineering how the project was supposed to be "compiled" to properly use those hints.
"A gentleman I know wrote a whitepaper about how bad the NBN Fixed Wireless service was and his employer forced him to scour it from the internet after threats from NBN Co."

I know, this bullying and like threats are just part of a much bigger problem. As I've said in my post to this story, that's just part of a much bigger problem with Australian communications and communications policy. When it comes to Australian governments and communications what we end up with is inevitably some sort of major fuck-up, and often it's monumental.

If I were an alien I'd draw the conclusion that Australian people have a congenital abnormality that makes them lose all sense and reason when they hear strings that contain words like 'communications'. What else could it be, the fuck-ups are continuous and span over a century?

Methinks, some grad student could likely get a PhD sorting this out and pinning the blame. Oh, but what a horrible job!
