And then you go another level deeper and see everything is actually just different ways of doing the same old Linux and/or Java. I feel especially in Ops people can see that all the time. For instance just today I saw…
The fable of the scorpion and the frog is also unreal. Yet you can learn something from it. PS: And yes, good catch. Cao cao actually wasn't emperor officially. His son became emperor. Totally forgot that point for some…
Nowadays I find it more important to define what "high performance" means to me and enjoy it when it happen by itself instead of forcing myself into a scheme while destroying my health and happiness. Sometimes for me…
A point that was also enlightening to me: Chinese literature has two components. One is the theoretical analysis like Sunzi Bingfa, Hanfeizi etc. The other examples of application in different contexts, given in form of…
If you talk to physicists and they tell you we've got something right, stop talking to them. Every good(!) one knows that we got it wrong. Just a little less wrong than in the previous model. You cannot get it right. It…
The very normal path of growing up as a leader: 1. people are good -> trying to do something good 2. doing good -> realizing many people are not good 3. stop doing good thing, start being frustrated 4. realizing one…
The problem for game libraries in general is that game dev lives in c++ world and c++ is awful for libraries. Most c++ devs I know would rather start writing a program by defining string than by learning to handle…
This reminds me of GTA and probably a few Hollywood movies.
Is a federated system like Mastodon not setup in a way that users have access lists and if one server is down they simply connect to the next? I would expect to just limit the access to my server in a way that no…
If you want to just have a piece of official documentation, why not. And if you know Putin and Xi personally maybe you even have a chance to get the DDOSer.
Well, yes and no. Nowadays it's possible to serve all niches and the mainstream market together at the same time, through the same general service offering, simply by filtering and sorting the content according to user…
My impression in recent years is that the middle class has real value in almost any society we had until now. They are the glue that brings stability to any organization, they are what keeps to energetic lower layer…
Think about what encryption should do. Think about what Machine Learning should do. The only thing you can do with ML on encrypted data is show where encryption needs to be improved. Or maybe there is a way to create ML…
What does it do better than the oldest simple and elegant markdown editor, vim?
Just adding a bonus point system and giving bonus points for creating well documented problem tickets would do the same trick, imho.
Okay, are they planning an IPO or are they planning to get bought? I'd guess IPO. Otherwise increasing amount of rentals would probably be more important than making sure everything is legally air tight.
Since I started to work for big tech myself this is what I tell people most of the time: Stop thinking about complaints, start thinking about solutions to problems that everybody has. That is where the power of big tech…
> short time in the 90s The first time I heard the word millenial was 2017. This world is weird. But in a world were people can choose their gender freely I think I can have the choice to use that word as I see fit.…
Looks like the US is now trying to increase the division between East and West Europe, huh?
I don't know who came up with that definition. Gen-Y is born late 80s and 90s. Millenials are born in the new MILLENIUM.
Are we ignoring Gen Y?
It is not voting against your own interest if your interest is a fair world and not highest amount of private money.
I'd argue kettles and toasters are not independent actors. A toaster won't make a decision if another toast is needed, it will not grab a slice of bread and then toast it. But a roomba is really an independent actor and…
I strongly believe that the future should go in this direction. And not just for robots but also for AI. Just like cars and smartphones they must be extensions of us humans instead of independent actors. One reason is…
You might have never been in a VP+ position in a company then. A lot of tasks in these positions are about avoiding consequences or shifting blame for actions that are either necessary but look bad or that had to be…
