Disagree on the necessary only point.

I understand there is a point where it's harmful to take time away from them, but there's a point well before necessary where you're still conservative when asking for help but it's a net benefit to take their time.

If it took you 2 hours to not bother someone for 10 minites, that's not necessary but also still net benefit.


Agree there's an optimal here. I'm saying LLM's overall reduce the need to speak to your coworkers and that's a good thing because it opens up more avenues to have interesting conversations. And not "how do you set up this repo".

KPI go up and pats on the back all around

It absolutely is. Loss leading is their fault and anticompetitive.

I was under the impression anticheat is the only thing stopping linux gaming from taking over

Anticheat and support for joysticks, steering wheels, VR, etc. is one factor for sure. I would say almost all games people play, which dont fall in the above categories, run out of the box with no or very minor tweaks needed (no terminal).

Yes it's true

The browser version of excel is vastly inferior for power users

If ypu do those for 15 years you are likely in management

how many managers would have to exist per worker? especially given the demographics these days, with fewer and fewer children being born.

Maybe in hacker news reality, not in the real world.

I do electrical work and have looked at data for my last 3 companies.

10 years in you should be a foreman or something is wrong.


Some guys choose to do joruneyman work, but they typically have the option if they're not mute or something. It's a choice ij my experience (They like OT or working alone or hate travel)

Correct. Dozens or hundreds of workers for every manager or foreman.

There's also a lot of owner/operator one-man shops.


Consider the turnover rate as an geometric series.

Also 1 foreman in the electrical field runs effectively 50 guys max if good, and smaller sites might be 10 men to a foreman. I currently have 3 foreman running 5 to 6 guys each at my current company (2 close sites of 3)


50:1

10:1

Big range, but still a lot of workers for every foreman.

(Father in law did 35yr in carpentry and teaching job corps)


It's really not the ratio but the turnover. Guys who aren't making it up into leadership self select after 5 years or so.

The ratios seem unbelievable to those in tech, but I'm just saying you're unlikely to make it to 10 years without having at least the opportunity for some leadership.


> make it to 10 years without having at least the opportunity for some leadership.

Maybe if that person is young and hasn't done real work.

The best ICs are often horrible managers, it's a different career. Same applies idea here. Or just don't want to put up with the bullshit, the fights, the showing up drunk to work, or missing tools, etc.


is there any hope for linux native anticheat? I always felt like this was what was holding it back


That’s the question, yes.

The main issue is an ability to rebuild literally any part of the system from sources. A few changes here and there allow cheaters to bypass anticheat protection in a significant amount of ways


I don't know if I buy the idea that using the vendor parts as examples given in the article align with the analogy.

Architecture is not that; MEP trades aren't architecture. If she used prefabbed wall assemblies or didn't do her own structural for critical parts the analogy would hold (I so not know if she did or did not either way). Plumbing is a completely separate trade the way trading stocks is separate from computing; it just happens to live in the house.


That sounds mysterious and important


What does it mean, really? I see it used more like catalyst or enablar than momentum storage. I'm still unsure.
