Perhaps that can work, but I'm skeptical whenever the solution is "another manager".

Sick, I couldn't figure it out when I needed it so I just manually created a 20 line script to cd into each directory and go build.

I agree with you completely that you need trust. > Our job is to highlight the tradeoffs they’re making so they can make informed decisions. This is an oft-stated thing that I oft-disagree with. It states that engineers ought to be subor

My experience with go build ./... is that it compiles everything but it doesn't make the binaries. > When compiling multiple packages or a single non-main package, build compiles the packages but discards the resulting object,

All of the teams I've been on have used one list. I've never seen a PM prioritize the technical work. I still think it's a good idea for it to be one list, but it's not sufficient. For teams that don't have a good P

AMD+TSMC revenue was almost $100 billion in 2023. Intel was $54 billion. They shouldn't have 20k more people with half the revenue.

You would have been paid $17.7074 in dividends, according to https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/INTC/dividends/history . If you bought one shared near the end of 1998, you would have paid around $30. That share w

It's just about tradeoffs in system design, nothing as specific as K8s. I think the author just wanted to write a glib little blog post.

I honestly feel like that would be a good thing. It would push people towards alternatives and create competition. If Gmail had a $5/10/20 per month fee, I would probably migrate to a more privacy/security focused provider. I

Sadly true. In the time spent gathering believable information to present, you could probably address a reasonable number of small tech debt items. Large tech debt items probably can't be resolved without some major business-impacting

I think this is all good advice when you're working with a PM who is making some reasonable forms of semi-objective decision making. None of this is helpful when your PM has no business strategy to align with, prioritizes based on what

The glasses seem fine, but the process did make me feel like measuring my own PD would have been easier. I've done it before for Oculus prescription lenses.

Warby Parker measured the distance between my pupils by having me upload a picture of my face while holding a credit card. I had to upload 3 pictures because I was too close or at a bad angle twice. I'm not sure if they had an algorith

My experience isn't that estimates are impossible or unreliable, even with somewhat novel work. Most of the problems come from a lack of respect and understanding for the estimates and for who is making the estimates. Back in 2019, I e

I read House of Leaves last year and it was interesting. It was a good story and I enjoyed following footnotes to footnotes and tracing them back and turning the book and figuring out the hidden message. I have S. I'm waiting to read i

I'd argue that trying to be most trustworthy to untrustworthy people is often a way to get screwed even harder. On that project, since I was the most productive people who showed regular progress meant that the project manager rode me

The article doesn't seem to address the main reason I learn not to trust some people: They aren't trustworthy. At my last job I was on a project with two other developers, two data scientists, and a project manager. At the outset

I use https://github.com/Adamcake/Bolt to play on Linux with a Jagex account. It's frustrating that Jagex won't support Linux directly, though.

BTW, I changed it so it's iterative, getting 12.5 MH/s.

Yea, I know. It makes me feel better this way, though.

I profiled my code and you're right that it was using a big chunk of CPU on generating the input. Approximately 40-50% of the CPU time was taken up by go's rand.IntN function. I was able to optimize it so that I only call rand.Int

I added some instrumentation and it was doing around 3.3 million hashes per second. Mine isn't sequential, it's generating random strings. Changing from a 64 byte string to a 26 byte string with (14 character nonce) brought it up

I guess either my computer or my code is really bad! I only got a mid-8 0s with multiple hours.

SHA256 doesn't generate characters, it generates bytes that are usually rendered in hex form, which gives you the "first character". There isn't a known way to calculate just the first bytes of a SHA256 hash faster. Each

ChatGPT says a desktop CPU uses 105Wh for every hour of maxed computations. I think a hash with 8 leading zeros takes around an hour and every additional 0 takes 16x that. I'll ignore anything less than 8 0s and disregard how close the

Anyone who stumbles into your SHAllenge ought to know that JS isn't going to be really competitive, so I think you're good. A warning might encourage them to delve a little deeper. I like that it makes it very accessible. I assume

I ran the javascript miner for like an hour, then I asked ChatGPT to write some go code that worked perfect (minus an unused variable error). The go program beat the javascript miner within seconds. Right now it's that easy to get into

I played this app when it was on netlify and you posted it originally ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38913220 ). I noticed a few weeks ago the redirection of the domain. Now I see this today and I'm very disappoi
