anhldbk··on Ask HN: Best book / resources on leadership, especially for tech teams?
I think leadership stems from engineering cultures. So I guess you may find Netflix Culture Code interesting [1]. It's introduced by Reed Hastings, the CEO

anhldbk··on Ask HN: What is the most beautiful piece of code you've ever read?
Well, it's a C macro in Apache Thrift code base [1]

#ifdef __GNUC__

#define TDB_LIKELY(val) (__builtin_expect((val), 1))

#define TDB_UNLIKELY(val) (__builtin_expect((val), 0))

#else

#define TDB_LIKELY(val) (val)

#define TDB_UNLIKELY(val) (val)

#endif

This code is beautiful when it deal with CPU cache-line effects to speed up your program.

It's a well-prepared plan combining social engineering and technical exploits
