> I do believe if you want real culture change in a company, the best way to do it is to show managers the door, because that's how you got there in the first place.

Which managers? The CEO, CxOs, and VPs are the place to start.

If you want to change the culture of a place - business, family, community - start by changing yourself.
I expect drones will become fire-and-forget in two to three years. They won't be jammable because the pilot is in the drone.
I have had a long career working for F50 companies across a few decades. I can tell you, my time as a senior manager at Microsoft in mid 00’s has been the most pleasant experience I have had working in the private sector. A lot has changed in the past 20 years, but I am in touch with many colleagues still working there, and we still recommend Microsoft over the rest.

The yellow|white|red jacks on the back of your TV are "RCA jacks." RCA stands for Radio Corporation of America. The same RCA launched NBC, which launched CNBC, which is a dominant source of financial news in the US.

You plugged your Nintendo into a TV using jacks designed by the same company that told your parents which stocks to buy and sell.

Gets even weirder when you get into acquisitions, where Ben and Jerry's ice cream is owned by the same Unilever that is famous for its soap.

> Magic numbers aren't for parsing files, they're for identifying file formats.

Unpopular corollary: thinking those are two separate actions is a terribly bad design smell. What are you going to do with that file you "identified" if not read it to get something out of it, or hand it to something that will.

If your file manager wants to turn that path into a thumbnail, you have already gone beyond anything the magic number can have helped you with.

Again, needless pedantry. Put a random number in the front and be done with it. Anything else needs a parser anyway.

These numbers always seem huge but also don't forget that Amazon employs 1.5 million people.

Of course I know there are a lot of warehouse and delivery employees but they have managers, too.

Duplication of keys like name and address in {"name": "Test", "address": "1234 Main St."} - it will have name and address in each record, whereas in SQL it isn't in the data, although it's in the queries.
Incredibly hard. If there were some formula and it was really easy to just keep "the good ones", then every company would only have great managers. It's simply not that easy at scale.
Working with Microsoft's customer facing tools and people is very different from working inside Microsoft. Not that you'll like one if you hate the other but just that they're different enough that you can't judge one by your experience with the other.
I don't consider myself to be a proper data hoarder since I only have tens of TiB at my disposal, but I managed to minimize the work, mental space, and time aspects by automating as much as possible. At first, I had a bunch of scripts running on a raspberry pi, but now I have the entire process managed by Home Assistant.

its a rube goldberg machine involving mqtt, VMs, cheap VPSs, rsync, and wifi plugs, but it works. I only get notified if a daily backup fails, and always get full summary of the weeklies. I probably could automate the process of writing to DVD, so the only manual thing I'd need to do would be to insert blank disks, but my quality of life has drastically improved.

As for cost, I'm still working on it, and my storage needs are very predictable so I can hunt for deals ahead of time - I still have unused HDDS from last year. It is common to find discounts to about $12/TiB, which is cheap.
I like your first sentence as a truism.
And many of the original intros, before the term "cracktro" was even coined and which predates demos (demos were standalone), would often reuse music from games and not music from other intros.

So those plundering the digital high seas would not only remove copy protection and write an "intro" to both boast about it and show their coding skills, they'd also steal music from commercial games.

And they were the OGs: the demoscene only came after the work (a bit shady of a work but a work nonetheless) of these pioneers.
Do you also believe we shouldn't make laws just because people will still break those laws?

> What exactly is a "good demographic"?

Let's be realistic, given two towns, one whose median age is 70 and the other filled with teenage boys sporting new licenses, one of them is going to need to invest more into policing resources than the other, ceteris paribus.

I wouldn't extend that to calling teenage boys "bad." But we did come with higher negative externalities to our communities, particularly when behind a car, than other demos.
> I don't know what's going on in my neighbor's house either, and it could certainly be bad stuff, but that's doesn't mean that it is bad or that I should start spying on them.

Massive public investments and global finance could result in you and your neighbor losing your jobs and houses, and cost you a lot of tax dollars rescuing them. It's happened multiple times. That's why they need to be regulated.

And where will all the right leaning folks concerned about the Twitter File's government suppression of speech be? Silence.. guaranteed silence...

Because they don't actually care about freedom or speech. Just their own speech.
They expect you to teach them in a way that's immediately understandable to them, and if they don't get it immediately, it's your fault. They get offended if you tell them a single thing they already know, but also blame you if you fail to tell them anything that they don't already know but need to. They'll complain about a lack of documentation, and then won't read it when it's there, and if they do, they complain that it's too hard to understand.

I've had a coworker ask me how to do something in a general way, and tell me "please don't tell me 'it depends on the context'. I just want to do my job and go home." Of course, it did depend on the context. Everything does. This is a senior software engineer with 16 years of experience.

Everyone loves to tout TTFB numbers for quic, but there's very little widespread reporting on throughput, particularly analyzed for a large number / wide breadth of real world customers.

This matters because for a lot of operating systems, UDP buffers are still tuned to nearly 1990s levels, and are insufficient to overcome BDP challenges. For CDNs / edge deployment systems such as Cloudflare/Fastly, this may not be "statistically relevant" for their customers, in that they're close to "statistically most" of their customers, however for users in locations where these organizations do not have anywhere near such a good presence (APAC, the islands, etc), their experiences are getting _far worse_.
> people reported using cannabis at the same rate when surveyed. However, many, many more black people ended up in prison for it.

As I understand it, people went to prison mostly for selling or possessing amounts that are implying selling. Which might explain the difference. Would you go to prison for possessing a single joint back then?
.NET after .NET Framework is just terrible branding by Microsoft.

Call it TypeScript++ or just `dot`; rebrand it Microsoft! Look at this thread full of misunderstandings and confusion around modern .NET!
The difference here is that we didn't select to use a Microsoft product, a produce we used became Microsoft.

It only matters in the context of it being "ironic" that it is used and favored in the coding community.
I actually tried sth like that with the Bible back in 2021. scaling is bitch. very difficult to train these types of models.
> They sanitized the data, so it should have been fine.

This is a 101 rookie level approach to SQL or injection defense.

It's dumb for exactly the same reason why this is dumb

"SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar=" + sanitize(userInput)

The correct way to do something like this will always be parameterized input which looks something like this

"SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar=?"
bindParameter(1, userInput);

Why? Because that the postgres protocol splits out the command and the data for the command in a way that can't be injected. Something that should be viewed as impossible to do when data and command are merged into 1 String.

IF this company wanted to build dynamic queries, then the only correct way to do that is to limit input to only valid variables. IE "isValidColumnName(userInput)" before sending the request. And even then, you'd not use psql to do that.

You simply can't use a generalized sanitizer and expect good results.
Really glad to hear it. Enjoy!

Nothing in Go is thread-safe, unless explicitly documented otherwise. Some examples of explicitly-documented-otherwise stuff are in package sync and package sync/atomic.

cycleMap is definitely not thread-safe. The authors knew this, to some extent, because they synchronized writes via an adjacent mutex. But they didn't synchronize reads thru the same mutex, which is the issue.
I think if individual Canadians were asked what the specific benefits and responsibilities of joining the EU would be, they[1] wouldn’t have an answer.

A poll like this shows ideological leanings, but Canadians simply aren’t well informed about what participation in the EU entails

Edit: [1] the vast majority of Canadians* Most Canadians I know barely follow Canadian politics, and know even less about how the EU functions

> And it turns out that TS is syntactically and semantically much closer to Go, so you can often convert the former to the latter mechanically.

Are there examples of this?

I ask because I've been working on a Nest.js backend in TS and it's remarkably similar to C# .NET Web APIs (controllers, classes, DI). Really curious to see the translation from TS to Go.
Certainly some of this simply comes down to "how valuable is my data?".

Currently, given the extremely low (and dropping YoY) cost of storing cold data at rest, the essentially free cost of ingest, and the high cost of retrieving cold data which I almost never have to do, the ROI is wildly positive. For me.

And since all of these things (how many providers, which providers, which storage classes, how long to retain the data, etc) are all fine-tunable, you can basically do your own ROI math, then pick the parameters which work for you.
For those building on AWS with VPC per service and using PrivateLink for connections between services, the whole IP conflict problem just evaporates. Admittedly, you’re paying some premiums to Amazon for that convenience.

> Banning something doesn’t make it go away.

It does make it much more expensive, and something that people with other options won't want to be involved in. If 'dark room' trading was illegal, Goldman, etc. would exit those markets.

It's true that people break laws, but the extreme idea that laws and law enforcement are therefore useless is obviously wrong. Look, for example, at the Republicans and their allies banning DEI - it's had quite an effect.
Most cloud providers do this now. Encryption operations like this are relatively easy to detect.
Lots of US sites geo blocked EU countries as we were not their main audience and it saved them the effort of complying with gdpr.
I used to save everything by default and over the years (~20) my storage requirements started getting out of hand.

So I had a change in philosophy where I decided to throw everything into a "to delete" folder and start with a single flat folder structure and go through everything file by file and put it in the "keep folder" and really evaluate whether I needed it. As a result I ended up with about a 90% reduction and I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

Imagine mistaking this for "getting rid of management," rather than kicking off a battle royale to backfill those roles with only the most efficiently, consciencelessly bloodthirsty aspirants to the power vacuum so created.
I don't think OP was necessarily trying to imply "there should be no managers", but simply "I don't want to become a manager" - which is perfectly valid.

Yeah we’re missing some info.

What account were they authenticating with when attaching to psql?

If you have the connection string why does psql even matter, couldn’t you use any client? Or is this a case of your input being forwarded to a running, already authenticated, psql instance?

And finally, why do we need unicode support for schema? I assume it’s because the schema is itself data?
As I understand it, we would get:

You can say that but it only really works if you give agency to your employees. That doesn’t seem to align with Amazons policy’s lately like RTO5.

How do you micromanage employees without managers? And note if your answer is “don’t”, I don’t think that’s an option as the drive for shit like that appears to be coming from the top, not middle managers misinterpreting orders

It takes away the emotional burden of writing cringe text.

What about cover letters though? Would an AI-generated cover letter look bad? From my perspective, the informational value would be the same or better, and I don't really have the time or desire to handwrite cover letters for each employer.
Don’t you have to register protests in the US? So if there registered the police already knows about them, right? And if not they are illegal, no?
There used to be a blog where a developer who worked for Disney and their Toon Town MMO discussed the absurd difficulty of trying to keep young kids "safe" in an MMO.

The bottom line is this: If you give kids literally any way to communicate, they will use it to bully each other and destroy the "kid friendly" nature of the game. If you let kids place objects in the world, they will spell out their home address for a pedophile by dropping objects to create words and then build a giant penis next to it. If you give kids the ability to emit only a few specific pre-approved sentences as a "chat" feature, they will find a way to sext with it, and then tell a pedophile their specific location through an ad-hoc code involving character facing direction and specific sentences.

Kids are smart, and imaginative, and don't understand or respect the concept of "You aren't supposed to do that" and don't recognize the danger of telling strangers your home address (in as much as there is actual danger there, as "stranger danger" is massively overstated) and will utilize ANY possible signal channel to explore taboo topics in an environment that seems safe.

Like, people in the Wii days shared friend codes in multiplayer shooters that had zero chat by using gunshot decals to spell out friend codes one digit at a time!

Either don't make a game where strangers can interact in any way, or pay shitloads for aggressive moderation like disney did. Those are your two options.

Or just do what roblox does and let kids be found by literal pedophiles who then go on to sexually message them and just somehow not have parents freak the fuck out? Also you get to literally profit from the work of children. I guess the moral of the story is to sell your soul to the devil because he has great PR

Very cool, thanks.

One of the saddest days at my current job: when the company I’m contracted to stopped offering Excalidraw in favor of Lucid. I mostly understand the rationale, but the dramatic difference in friction basically shut down all interest I had in using diagrams to help communicate with my team members.
> 1. Clearly false (what words do you use when you plan to throw a ball to a target?)

That's physical, not abstract. Our entire body's neural net is used to develop those physical skills. When it comes time to catch or throw a ball, no abstract thinking is involved, just doing.

If you want to study the physics of throwing a ball, then you need abstract thought, but not for just practicing it.

> 2. There is no reason to believe other animals are incapable of abstract thinking (although we can clearly see they are far less intelligent)

And there is reason to believe they're capable of abstract thinking?

> 3. I don't know what your long screed about bigotry and religion has to do with language ability

Because we communicate abstract ideas to one another via language. Once we acquire a mind-topic, we can then focus on it, as per our desire and mental focusability. That's why programming is so difficult.

But we can also contemplate our moral basis with respect to another mind-topic that teaches us how to abstractly evaluate it. It can be called religion or ethics or whatever. But we navigate our choices against whatever we deem permissible or impermissible, desirable or repellant. And we can self-evolve that basis against which we make our choices. It's an essential aspect of human nature, and it requires abstract concepts such as compassion, harm, happiness, sadness, kindness and anger, to name but a few.

> Just imagine how slow university-level maths would be if you had to do all the thinking in words in your head.

Just imagine how uni-level maths would be if there were no abstract concepts being taught with actual words.

Are you saying that not only did your maths education only use diagrams, but that no verbal explanation was involved?

> Sorry if I sound rude, but this is such a common misconception people believe in, and it's so blatantly not true so I'm baffled people keep on claiming it is 'scientific' to believe that language is identical to intelligence.

It's not rude, but it is just wrong. For one, I never said it was identical to intelligence. Intelligence is evaluating an abstract concept net to attempt to evaluate how a particular concept relates to it.

Abstract concepts are built on the same logical network that facilitates our ability to process and produce language. How we build and utilize our ever-evolving network results in abilities that we call intelligence.

> No wonder some people insist LLMs are just weeks away from becoming AGIs.

That's not me, brother. I'm not even on the LLM hype train, much less think they're going to facilitate AGI. They probably have a few niche uses, but that's my take on all the LLM stuff.
So far so good on the tenant front. I try to screen my tenants for negative or positive attitudes.

This actually sounds really cool as a vetting of counterparties and risk reduction for liquidity. I worked munis 2008-2010 in support but learned a ton about all sorts of Wall Street products - traditional and synthetic. So these are for trades, formal, with a bit more teeth to them than CDS type transactions, which even post crash were crazy amounts of money on paper but structured by usually pretty knowledgeable firms (in our pool). Every tool can be misused, and the minority owned room / platform actually seems neat to me. The casino is big and brutal and smaller firms have roles too.

Will these lead to another London Whale? Time will tell.
