Well, not at scale at least ... as a point of history, Oka has resurrected and returned to local manufacture having ditched the off shore builds of the past that dropped quality.

Also, less a car and more a post apocalyptic rover but there's a market for that.

It appears there are actually two films. From https://www.mori.art.museum/english/contents/tokyo-berlin/ab...

> Conflict between the two directors began almost at once. Itami was alarmed by the raw political intent of the film and by what he considered were the many misinterpretations of Japanese life. Fanck, however, refused all compromise, insisting that this first German-Japanese film collaboration had to have a clear, pro-Nazi message. It soon became obvious that the project would collapse if a compromise was not worked out.

> It was – but in the most surprising manner - each director would make his own version of the picture. Fanck shot all of his scenes in the daytime. Itami, using the same sets and locations, shot his at night. Difficult as this was for them, it was even harder on the cinematographer, Richard Angst, who had to shoot both films, and on the actors who had to work all day and all night, and on the studio, where costs for the film doubled.

> your bottleneck really is just writing more code

You're characterising it as pure "code volume" question but it's completely not the point. Absolutely if they are coding just to directly increase the output of the team they are much better devoting that time to getting more output from the IC's they are managing.

But even better is coding in a way that helps the team overall work better. This can be because they do architectural work, they gain insight into the actual team challenges, it improves how they can estimate the time needed for different tasks, etc.

Frankly, all this anecdote tells me is "don't behave like a condescending asshole". If he'd said the same thing but then managed to do some non-trivial aspect of your job for a few minutes, I think that would still have been a bad tactic. It's just as possible to have humility about skills you lack, and to lack humility about skills you've maintained.

> And how are you going to do that? Russia has been gaining land. Currently, Russia is winning.

Winning, but winning very slowly. Unless Ukraine collapses, Russian victory is likely years away (depending of course on what Russia decides to consider “victory”)

Although Ukraine is outnumbered, the fact they are mostly playing defence not offence gives them an advantage

If Ukraine drags this out for long enough, there is the possibility Russia may lose its patience with the war before Ukraine does, and Ukraine may suddenly gain the upper hand. If Trump forces Ukraine into a peace deal in which Russia gets most of what it wants, that won’t happen

At one point in my life, I became a manager that didn't code. Way too many meetings, travel, and non-technical things to do, so no time and most importantly, no headspace left for coding.

Over the course of about two years this drove me to mental issues. I was unhappy, I could not have a technical discussion with people working for me, I felt inadequate and dumb. On a practical level, I was expected to make technical decisions, but couldn't, because all I had was poorly communicated information from people working for me. That is not enough!

I realized two things:

1. It is not possible to do technical management without coding yourself. CTOs that don't code are not good CTOs.

2. I never want to be in a work situation where I am away from coding.

Since then I've been very happy, first co-founding a business where I had a CTO role (and coded), and then solo-founding and running a business where I code all the time.
Show HN: Built a Size Recommendation Tool to Improve Fit
Website:https://fitezapp.com
Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDX5mrZ0nKo

Hey everyone!

I’ve been living and breathing my full-time project for the past few months, and I’d love your honest feedback! I’ve created a size recommendation tool that offers personalized fit suggestions based on real body dimensions—no more guessing with generic charts. It’s designed to help fashion e-tailers reduce returns caused by size mismatches. Check out the demo on a dummy e-commerce store!

The idea came from my own frustration with online shopping. My family and I often bought extra sizes just to be safe, only to return those that didn’t fit, which felt terrible given the environmental impact. After diving into research, I realized e-tailers are facing the same problem, and that’s when I decided to build this solution.

I spent months gathering data—through family, friends, neighbors, and even crowdsourcing —to map clothing sizes to body measurements to ensure accuracy. This was the toughest part. This software currently supports sizes 2XS to 3XL, and while this is just the beginning, I’m excited about where it can go.

If you’re working on something similar or just want to share feedback, I’d love to connect and collaborate. Your input means the world to me!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

I know STEM folks like to disparage Economics as a dismal science but it has learned a few things and has scientific evidence to back them up. So far the current Admin is hitting a perfect trifecta of recession maximization: Tariffs, Economic Uncertainty, and Political Instability. You'd have to be a science denier to deny the obvious. Oh, wait.
Yep, there's definitely a way to write code intentionally, for the reasons you listed, and I approve of that! But you'll see a lot of engineering managers coding because they are trying to help the team reach its next deliverable. This is usually short-sighted.

I think of it as the management control loop: "I have some spare cycles -> what is the most important work I can do for the team right now?" Coding can be the answer. But some people's control loop seems to be more like: "I have some spare cycles -> what is the most interesting/rewarding task I can do next?" The latter might lead to a lot more coding, but it's not good for the team.

> However, to be clear, software teams, engineers, and engineering managers are absolutely evaluated on their performance,

Yes, and no one said that this kind of evaluation has produced long term success. It has widely been recognized that when upper management is more involved in evaluation rather than leading teams of managers themselves, they address issues and market conditions too late. Thus, affecting businesses negatively over and over.

https://hbr.org/2016/10/the-performance-management-revolutio...

In other words, managers are being asked to NOT perform to certain metrics/evals but to make choices that benefit the company - even if it falls outside any evaluation rubric.

It is a stalemate because US government wants it to be a stalemate. They never wanted Ukraine to win. Because it can embarrass putin. That's why they send some old equipment, barely enough to slow down Russian troops.

Hi, I'm Divyaank! I am a Masters in Computer Science student at Stony Brook University graduating in May 2025. I am looking for Backend, Distributed Systems and SRE positions. I am proficient in Java, Python, Kubernetes, SQL, bash and have dabbled with Scala, C/C++, Go, JavaScript, Spin/Promela. I am currently working with Prof. Erez Zadok in his File systems and Storage Lab (FSL) (Link: https://www.fsl.cs.stonybrook.edu/). I am presently working on implementing Containerization support (using Kubernetes and Kata Containers) for Swarm Verification (https://spinroot.com/swarm/) used by Metis (https://github.com/sbu-fsl/Metis). Previously, I used Metis to discover kernel hang bugs in the Journaled File System and submitted patches to the Linux kernel to fix these bugs[https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/8c7b1d37-758a-46b2-b8aa-afd3331..., https://lkml.org/lkml/2024/7/5/899].

There have been many periods of Chinese history with multiple competing dynasties, including transition periods. The Later Jin, for example, who became the Qing, took three generations to defeat the Ming dynasty; and they had been around since before the Song dynasty.

THe lands and territories also wax and waned throughout the centuries. A map of the territories controlled by the Qing at its peak is vastly different than that of the Tang or that of the Han dynasty.

This is more like the game of weiqi than it is the game of chess. The endgame isn't necessarily a decisive action with a win condition, but more of an accumulation.

So bad reviews are avoided to ensure the media gets the early review clicks.

> This is a misleading conclusion.

No, there is nothing misleading about it. There are two equally valid conclusions. It depends entirely on what you take to be a data point. If you are asking about average number of students per class, and you have 100 students and 2 classes, do you have 100 data points to consider or 2?
> I said what I meant; feel free to disagree but this policing is pretty condescending.

Sorry for that feeling, but when the same thing repeats three times (I think) I have to note that something is off in your messaging. I'll try to be more cautious in the future.

> You fundamentally misunderstand MP's extension types. Instead of guessing you can read about them in the MP spec [0]:

Maybe my line of thought is confusing to you, but I have read all of that in order to avoid relying on my fragile recollection. And they are qualitatively different to me. You can't really do that much with an encoded bytes `c7 05 00 94 01 02 03 04` if the application-specific type 0 is unknown, even though `94 01 02 03 04` is a valid MP sequence and the author probably have intended so. So tag-unaware tools like diagnostics or compression algorithms would have to guess. The equivalent CBOR bytes `c0 84 01 02 03 04` clearly express such intent. If there is no such intent, you can put a byte string instead (`c0 45 84 01 02 03 04`).

As you have acknowledged, the tag registry has its pros and cons. It might not be obvious which tag should be used in a given use case. Tags are prone to be ill-designed and stuck forever (this already happened for IPv4/v6 tags, to be clear). But the registry means that the spec development can happen in the distributed manner and for more specific situations. I mean, the only extension type ever defined by MP is a timestamp. It even doesn't have other obvious tags like UUID. Is it justified?
Normally I would have 12 or so desktops there.

The server stacks were well above his height.

He probably could have, in his day, wired up 20 odd desktops, got them going, and maybe shave 10 minutes off my batch time.

But he really had nfi with the servers, the stacks were 2ft higher than him already, they all had dual power supplies, lots of idrac ports. He absolutely would have shamed himself if he kept going. And the reason he hired me was the ability to reason and read vendor documentation.

They also take ages to boot compared to a desktop.

So yes I think ALSO dont behave like a condescending asshole, but if he understood what I was doing he wouldnt have needed to leave his office and make a fool of himself anyway.

I think quite large reason is Putin's wishes to leave "legacy" and to continue holding power. He certainly is obsessed with power and the idea that Russia has own way and he is the one to lead it in this way.
Things change very fast when things cannot be fixed in any other way. I think you underestimate how quickly things reverse one way or another. Look at Japan's foreign residents number YoY, a nation that have actively hated (hates?) foreigners, but understands how we're going to be depended on them for the next decade due to low birth rates.

When every nation fights against each other to prop up their population numbers, immigrants will choose the place that's the best for them. Think of it as product competition, and consumers are the immigrants that pick what's best for them.

> But my complaints about flights being too full is based only on my own experience. I don't think people are upset about airplanes crowdedness because they surveyed a bunch of people and concluded from the survey that airplanes are crowded.

This is still falling prey to the error described in the OP.

Imagine that 99% of all flights were totally empty, and the remaining 1% of flights were completely full. Despite the fact that 99% of all seats are vacant in this scenario, 100% of all flyers will have the experience of being on exclusively packed flights.

Yeah agree, I think it's really about personal risk tolerance.

I do agree 5 years is a while, but it's also easy to say that right now based on the last 5 years. It's not terribly difficult to find 5 year periods where returns aren't very good or flat out bad (e.g. starting investing in 2000).

One possibility is diversification. By and large each successive tech iteration resulted in one big winner: Microsoft (operating systems), Amazon (e-commerce), Google (search), Apple (mobile), Meta (social networks), Netflix (streaming), and depending how you look at it, Tesla (EVs). If you invested in one of these companies early, you'd see a huge profit one or two decades later. The problem, of course, is that you don't have a crystal ball. However, if you invested in these companies and a few of their peers in the early days, then you lost all the money in their peers, made a lot of money in these companies, and you are still well ahead in the game.

At this point, if you don't know if Anthropic or OpenAI or Mistral will be the ultimate winner, you invest in all of them. Of course, there's a chance that another startup comes out of nowhere and all your investments tank, but nothing is risk free in life.

> When I had managers who coded they were ruthless about removing friction in the dev and deployment pipeline because they had to deal with it too.

For me a good manager is a facilitator, not a leader. Someone who removes obstacles for us. Whether they themselves are affected or not. Someone only fixing an issue because they have to deal with it too seems like a pretty bad manager to me.

They're not for pushing targets or trying to weed out non-performance, I don't work at a playschool. My manager is there to make sure I can do my job and that I can reach my maximum potential (including making sure I'm in the right job)
Pardon my cynicism, but this doesn't really change anything. These companies are still evaluating their employees, just informally. They are still promoting and firing people. There are still teams who are doing well and teams that are not. There are teams that picked the right goals and met them, and teams that failed to deliver on their promises for yet another quarter. There are still teams with happy stakeholders and teams that infuriate everyone whom they interact with.

It doesn't matter how you measure it or try to ignore it, the buck still stops with the manager of each team.

Russia is a part of Europe and loves the US (or at least Trump) right now.
It's worth considering that Europe's military dependence wasn't accidental - it was partly a deliberate outcome of post-WWII American policy. The U.S. has historically benefited from being the primary security provider for Europe, giving it significant influence and strategic advantages. A fully independent European military capability might create a very different geopolitical dynamic.
