This is the sanest answer. No amount of leadership is going to help an incompetent team. A codebase with massive technical debt, tight coupling, and accidental complexity will be hard to improve incrementally. Impossible without competent engineers.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Free Software is actually GNU/Free Software. GNU/Free Software is not an ecosystem unto itself, but rather one component of a fully functioning GNU ecosystem.

Why are you so triggered that M2 is the best chip on the market? I'm pretty sure that is relevant in a discussion about the CPU market. AMD did a similar thing to Intel with the Ryzen launch. Intel is currently stagnating. They need a miracle at this point.

That is by design. A person with complete knowlege is a liability. Workers should be replacable with minimal disruption. It's also less intellectual property to take with you when you leave.

I don't believe in luck. There are mistakes in strategy and timing. People look at stats like "90% of startups fail" and associate it with casino odds. It's deceptive. You don't just get one shot at this. Learn from your mistakes and never give up.

Six months, worth it. The best thing you can do is create a product that you yourself want. Trust your instincts and don't doubt your vision. Ignore advice that isn't coming from an entrepreneur.

A corporation took my best ideas and went to market before I could even get started. I didn't make any money but at least I have the feeling of community. /s

That's exactly what you said. Go gaslight someone else.

Which is much different than the "I don't like their opinion, therefore they're stupid" barometer you use.

His example of music as a balance between order and chaos is interesting. If you play entirely within the pentatonic major scale, for example, the sound will be something like a nursery rhyme. If you play a note outside of the scale (introduction of chaos), you have to resolve that dissonance or else it will sound like a bum note. This is true regardless of what scale or genre you choose to play. Other scales simply include more dissonance within them that still require resolution. People who say these things are subjective do not understand music theory. It is argued that people in the classical era had far less of an ear for dissonance, but this is unprovable. People today still find it offensive unless there is resolution.

Why did it take them 2.5 years to make this discovery? It's not like scientists have been sitting around this whole time. Is the bottleneck a lack of computational power, manpower, or brainpower?

Mars is made of solid volcanic rock covered in dust. If the hypothetical lava tube idea doesn't work, not much else will. My skepticism begins with SpaceX releasing illustrations of a planned above-ground base.[1] Elon has said for the base to become self sustainable they will need around a million people. There is a fine line between genius and insanity.

I've heard of massive dust storms on Mars. This is the first I've heard of deadly dust. It's also bombarded by X-rays and gamma rays. So Mars is completely uninhabitable. Astronauts would need an airlock with chemical shower and secondary breathing apparatus to be able to even consider taking off their space suit. The base would have to be underground. To be clear the plan is to fly past the moon and through space for nine months for that? Sounds half baked.

The point is you're not solving anything with this approach. You have chosen a lose-lose solution. What people need to understand is that the same problem exists outside of capitalism. You will continue to get the short end of the stick until you gain leverage.

Doing the minimum or being lazy is pretty bad advice. The smart move is to educate yourself on how to organize a union and put together a game plan. This is what corporations are really afraid of and that is because it's the one thing that gives you power. Get bent with the Bolshevik revolution crap. The goal isn't to end up in a worse place.

Core sample via remote controlled submarine. Magnets sounds goofy. I suspect he knows something we don't.

The thing that doesn't make much sense to me is the variety of shapes these things come in. Saucer, triangle, tic tac, pyramid, cube, etc. The triangles are probably just military, but where does that leave this other stuff? The military has had supersonic drones for a long time so that could explain many other sightings. The thing about aliens is it's exciting. The thing that makes me wary is that even if the military declassified hypersonic saucer drones people would just call it a psyop.

I'm not sure what you are referencing from that. It reiterates what I stated, not what you are saying. "Great Artists Steal" etc. The developers sat down and had everything explained to them. I'm not sure what you mean by "engineers didn't know how Xerox did it."

It's basically the same as the System 1 which was just a ripoff of the stuff at Xerox PARC. That is where things really went from zero to one, on a lot of things. The same thing happened with programming languages. C sparked a revolution and languages have been getting incrementally more bloated (and terrible) ever since. I think the difference stems from academic versus capitalist roots. I mean, even Xerox didn't want the stuff they had created.

Disrupt, yes. Replace, no. Programming is moving to ever higher levels of abstraction. It's just a continuation of the trend. You'll still have the lower levels when you need them. It reminds me of WordPress. It will get the job done for most people but at the end of the day it's a piece of crap.

In India, the most significant difference is caused by the caste system. Within this system, the lower caste is considered genetically inferior, lazy, and never completing any hard work. It is perhaps a self-fulfilling prophecy as what is the point in working hard if the hard work will not be recognized. In China, people work extremely hard and are proud of it. This can be attributed to Confucianism and communism. There is a 996 culture in China. That is 9 am to 9 pm 6 days a week. Cultures are very different indeed.

I would move the project to be under the company instead of your personal account. Place links back to the company on the package website. Link back to your company in the terminal output. I wouldn't go beyond that.

I don't think it's sufficient to say we enjoy music because we evolved to hear animal noises. This lazy hand-waving explanation can hardly be called a hypothesis. Hitting something with a stick and making sounds with your voice is something a cave man could do. We're talking about something so old that it likely evolved and developed with us as a species. Birdsong developed through sexual selection. That's not too far from what we see in our species, to be honest.

Critics add no value. They are parasitic individuals that feed off the creations of great men. I'm not sure why you find it odd I browse a forum for creators and hackers. The parasitic people are here too. They are talkers not doers.

Anxiety and depression have a close relationship and both represent a chemical imbalance in the brain. When you have an issue like this to the point of disorder, it's unlikely to be the only problem. Psychiatric labels like PTSD, GAD, OCD, BPD, serve to categorize the behavioural manifestation of the imbalance.

I don't claim to have a cure for depression. However, meditation has been a significant help in balancing my emotions and achieving calm. I am convinced poor diet and sleep hygiene are major contributors to mood disorders. Work on those in tandem with practicing meditation. If that doesn't work for you after a few weeks, the medication will still be available.

You didn't acknowledge your lack of understanding about search results. The algorithm suppresses results based on location data. Ranking is based on your prior search history. Censorship varies by country. There is no point in continuing discussion when you are ignoring my points entirely.

Everyone gets different search results. Suppressing content is a form of censorship. You're just out of the loop. Silicon valley is left wing. Anyone paying attention can see they're using these platforms to enact social change. What do you think this whole Elon/Twitter thing was about?

I think it would cause a lot of harm. Part of the grieving process is accepting that they are gone. The pain is terrible but I'm not sure that makes it a bad thing. The perspective you gain is powerful.

It is a good message that people need right now. Science was always meant to be questioned. Scientific inquiry and peer review is built upon asking questions. Before science, all we had was blind trust in authority. People must not make the mistake in thinking science is the new authority. It is merely a system. A system that happens to be rife with corrupt publishers and conflicts of interest. Science works when it is honest and rigorous. That is a big assumption to make given human nature and the massive corporate incentives.

The term is "dynamic storage allocation." We're talking about something so old I'm afraid I can't explain beyond that. I am a mere programmer and I don't wear a lab coat.
