I get where you’re coming from, but you’re conflating two different things: technical depth and conversational clarity.

Being able to “swim in the same technical waters” is important—but this post isn’t about a manager being out of their depth. It’s about being flooded with unstructured thinking.

Even the most technically competent managers can feel lost when updates come as raw brain dumps instead of synthesized insights. And ironically, the more context you do have, the more exhausting it is to parse through scattered information and reconstruct the puzzle yourself—especially across multiple reports and projects.

Clear communication isn’t a luxury. It’s a multiplier.

The manager’s job isn’t to absorb every detail—it’s to help their team focus on what matters, make decisions faster, and see patterns across noise. That’s not a sign of weakness. It’s leadership.
My second boss was a Sun Microsystems enjoyer and he always pronounced “superuser” as “stupid user”.

After a raised eyebrow he went on to explain, “because when the machine is broken it’s always because some stupid user did something.

But you're in a tiny minority. It's actually viewed as one of the best games of it's time.

You get that right?

Can you acknowledge that both Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 would BOTH be chosen as some of the greatest video games of the last 2 decades? Unlike, say FO76 or Starfield?

I just don't understand the tiny, yet extremely vocal, set of Bathesda haters who constantly whine on about Gamebryo or 'real' fallout.

If it's so bloody good, why was Wasteland 3 fairly meh. There's your 'old' fallout. It was a mid-level hit. Entertaining, but not an all time great. If Bathesda is so bad at writing RPGs and Obsidian are so much better, why is Outer Worlds so utterly underwhelming and boring.

Like the actual evidence and reality is in front of your face. Making a great game is hard. Bathesda have done it multiple times. And Fallout 3 + 4 are somevof those great games.

If you don't like what they did with the fallout IP, just remember, you could have got another fallout brotherhood of steel.

When I was in high school, the physics teachers set up a telescope aimed at Venus as it crossed the Sun's radius. It wasn’t visible to the naked eye, but through the telescope, you could see Venus as a tiny black dot drifting across the field of view. It was fascinating to watch a planet move in a perfectly straight line along its orbit.

I'd presumed that that's been the standard "critical" take for educated people since at least Foucault.

Perhaps that's part of the rot in the soul of higher education in the United States. The infection of universities with an ideology of – I'll call – "Vocationalism" and the people who are full-throated believers in such Capital-driven worldview. See: the steady denigration of the liberal arts.

Side-note: I think the capture of universities by Leftist professors [outside of technical disciplines] exposes a profound failure in American letters and American thought – conservative thinkers have lost power of relevancy in the intellectual class. Where is our Leo Strauss?

And I’m not an “evil Leftists” guy. I respect the value of their methods, if not their conclusions.

Pardon the largely off-topic tangent. Mostly writing for myself and to flesh out my own thoughts.

This is the origin story for anyone who has ever set up alerts for 90% disk utilization on a machine.

These are especially bad with services that generally grow their logs very slowly but when something like a net split happens or a server is down they generate as much log data in an hour as they typically do all week. So you get close to full and then an incident happens, and now you have two incidents because the screaming machine goes down with a full disk right after you lose your internal DNS server or what have you.

After years of development - Now I prefer declarative approach. Specs first, generate the code from it and implement required Interfaces.

One great too for that is TypeSpec[0].

This also allows thinking about the API first and ensures that what's documented is what's implemented.

You return the type directly. You can then declare things to be of this type. Eg, from the Zig docs, here's how to construct a generic List type (note the comptime declaration of the generic parameter):

fn List(comptime T: type) type {
return struct {
items: []T,
len: usize,
};
}

// The generic List data structure can be instantiated by passing in a type:
var buffer: [10]i32 = undefined;
var list = List(i32){
.items = &buffer,
.len = 0,
};

Not just names, but a separate file and a package to fit in. I need a small data object, sorry, you have to put it in a separate file and then think of the package it goes in and so on and so forth. Not to mention in Spring you then need to annotate it with something. That is why I say Java development is a pain.

There seems to be a couple of field-specific journals of negative results for similar purposes. It seems like there should be value in citing negative results to inform current research. Perhaps if there were more journals dedicated to this, or a single one not limited to specific fields, there would still be some incentive to publish there, if the effort required was low enough (another area where AI might be applied: writing it up).

> Elected officials do what they think the voters want (as affirmed by getting re-elected).

There was a time when I thought this. Some observations cast strong doubt on it. Primarily:

how close congressional votes track with major campaign contributions and
the revolving door where major donors later reward officials who voted for their interests

It's difficult to see how voters can compete with this, particularly while info about these routine arrangements rarely reaches voters.

> I had no idea Monster sold anything other than over priced guitar cables..

Overpriced because you are envious of their marketing or pricing strategy? They were appropriately priced as long as the marketing wasn't more deceptive than products are generally (and noting it's not a food product or medical claim).

> But it wasn't because of their alleged improved sound quality or whatever, it was because they had a lifetime warranty.

Isn't that (along with branding) a valid reason to price a product at a certain level?
Because of the cost. Performance (if you optimizer is any good) will be at most a few thousand CPU cycles and so only rarely worth worrying about, though even this can add up if everything is an interface.

The larger cost is maintenance. Every time you want to change/add/remove something you now need to touch not only every place that uses the thing in question, but also all the tests. That is by mocking your are tightly coupling your tests to how your code is implemented instead of the code should do. If there is more than one implementation this is okay as the code can do different things in different situations anyway, but if there is only one then you are adding coupling that isn't useful.

If you have never worked with non-trivial code that is more than 10 years old the above won't make sense. However as code ages you will discover that the original beautiful architecture ideas where always wrong for some need that happened since and so you have had to change things. Mocks make all those changes much harder.
I'd love to see a source for your claims. I know they are at least untrue or misleading for the Netherlands.

The Netherlands offers the right to remain silent. All European counties I am familiar offer something similar. On the European level, this right has recently been affirmed. [1]

In the Netherlands, improperly obtained evidence is indeed not excluded in the Netherlands. Improperly obtaining evidence is a separate crime that does not taint the case for the initial crime, and is prosecuted separately. However, improperly handled evidence (e.g. broken chain of custody) is normally excluded.

In practice, improperly obtained evidence is not a major problem, it will in itself not help convict an innocent person. Improperly handled evidence however, can easily lead to an innocent person being convicted.

Note that grep in particular is extremely optimized.. If you have multi-gigabyte files, and you only search for one thing, shelling out to grep will likely have much better performance that doing it yourself.

But not every system needs that much, and in a lot of cases, using your language's regexp library will be more robust anf easier to write.
I remember abandoning it about a decade ago when I was still in college. It was making me miserable constantly comparing myself to the highlights of other peoples lives. Unfortunately, it seems like the human mind has a tendency towards comparing oneself to others, and I wouldn't be surprised if the algorithm took advantage of that. I stopped using it and instead focused on myself, I felt much happier afterwards.

No I do though, although the context is of course different since I don't know a bunch about medicine.

I ask a ton of questions and I've found that good doctors a) welcome the questions and b) do a good job of explaining. If q doctor doesn't really give me good answers then I'll go elsewhere. A lot of doctors appointments are ahead of some bigger procedure or an ongoing relationship, so the first meeting definitely is evaluative for me.

How does one do resource control with Landrun, e.g., CPU, memory, I/O..?
Off the top of my head:

- There's both undefined and null

- There's three ways to declare variable

- typeof vs instanceof

- for in vs for of

- the way `this` works

- semantics of functions called with the wrong number of args

There's far more that I can't immediately recall.

Slight tangent but while this is bad with disclosed ads, I think it's even worse with algorithmic feeds. A lot of users don't realize that not only their feed is heavily personalized, but the "top comments" are also selected just for them.

This bias will be implemented in LLMs sooner or later. Combined with the current misunderstanding of "AI" by the general population, it makes me worried about the future of misinformation.
No, it just means you're checking the wrong file so you might not get the nice error message from the initial check.

It's still not going to do anything incorrect when it comes to actually open the file though.

TOCTOU only matters when the check is actually checking something important. Here it isn't; it's just giving nicer error messages. If you bypass it you just lose those nice error messages.

So it isn't a problem here.
this account is pushing some very interesting (as in strange) stuff
> In fact I’ve only worked on one system that had the kind of scale that would justify the additional complexity of a distributed architecture. Ironically that system was a monolith with Postgres.

This...doesn't seem to support your case at all? Maybe if you'd turned all those distributed architectures into monoliths you would've then thought the distributed architecture was justified (since you have a 1 of 1 case where that was the case).

I'm guessing the truth is somewhere in the middle, but unfortunately it's not very useful to the reader to say "well, some systems are better distributed, some systems are better as monolith". The interesting question is which is which.
Hah, I think there’s two things that stand out in my memory.

- They need 3 Boeing 737’s to ship an EUV machine.
- We talked with one guy who’s responsibility it was to design one of the calibration points the machine uses to find it’s zero position. This left me amazed that they’re able to ship a machine halfway across the world, re-assemble it and calibrate it again to such accuracy. And! On top of that, make it reproducible over different machines!
This is the minimum options I needed to get it to work:

My HOA charges $38 fine per dandelion. They send me a picture with all dandelions circled and counted along with the violation notice.
I used to think this, but now mostly (but weakly) don't. Long options buy expressiveness at the cost of density, i.e., they tend to turn "one-liners" into "N-liners". One-liners can be cryptic, but N-liners reduce how much program fits on the screen at once. I personally find it easier to look up flags than to have to page through multiple screenfuls to make sense of something. In this respect, ISTM short options are a /different/ way of helping a subsequent reader, by increasing the odds they see the forest, not just the trees.

Do you want to pay me several years income to write a book on this subject, including the cost of editors, publishers, and other things I'm not even aware of (I've never written a book). This is a very complex subject but I stand by it as a general rule even though there are some exceptions. In general if there is only one implementation just use it.

Even if you think that the EU is an over-regulating bureaucratic monster (which I do), Apple is proving exactly why we need regulations in the first place.

They wouldn't be in this mess if their behavior wasn't so unfair and anti-competition. The worst is that Apple could very well compete on their own merits (I think their solutions have a lot of benefits, the problem is their ability to dictate pricing because of said behavior).

It is completely insane that Apple has the right to dictate how I want to use my device and restrict its capabilities/access under the pretense that they know better than me what's good for me.
People who want to do everything the Apple way are free to do so but people who would like freedom to use their devices as they see fit (and potentially give access to Apple designated bad actors) should be free to do so.

The same thing happened to car companies and now everybody agrees it was for the better, making big tech comply with the same rules is past due.

The hilarious part is that Apple complained about the same things when Microsoft was the dominant player, displaying their hypocrisy in play sight.

> That doesn't explain how facebook (google's competitor) got ahold of that info, or how people with iPhones are being eavesdropped on.

It can easily explain how people with iPhones are being eavesdropped on: "those indicators aren't trustworthy". According to this theory, the microphone in an iPhone is active despite the indicator not being displayed. That's identical to the Android theory.

To extend the theory to Facebook, you'd need to assume one of these:

(1) The unreliability of the indicator on Android is a matter of incompetence on the part of Google, and Facebook is exploiting it.

(2) Google has a privileged stealth-microphone-access permission, and Facebook has negotiated for access to it.
Did you actually read that Medium post? It's idle FUD and speculation that the author of the original 2012 Forbes article lied about the Target incident, without anything to substantiate that claim. It's also evidently written by someone working in data science at Meta, who would naturally have incentive to deny the reality of their industry.

Most of the Medium comments are calling them out on this:

>Title: "Target didn’t figure out a teenager was pregnant before her father did, and that one article that said they did was silly and bad."
A clear assertion. A solid claim.
One of the first paragraphs: "I won’t belabor this since we can’t actually know, but the anecdote about the father calling the store and talking to the manager is probably just not true. "
So, a person who contradicts himself right in the beginning uses articles that are being hyperbolic as proof that the articles got it all wrong. Smells a bit like double standards, no?
And the point of the conversation is less about accuracy of the findings and more about such models being in place.
I mean, Facebook did this, right? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/facebook-categorize-users-...
