that was also my first reaction when i saw the headline.

i first read Mythical Man Month when i was i grad school, and didn't really get it. i mean, i understood everything he was saying, but it didn't resonate with me. a decade later i was working at Digital Equipment Corporation and had much better understanding. and after doing another startup, i wound up at Microsoft. then i _really_ got it.
To be fair, the 480 vs 960 one isn't nearly as bad as the andriod stuff. It's just pixel doubling. With andriod... I mean, look at the driod. 54 extra lines! what are you going to do there?

In other words, iOS fragmentation is not nearly as bad as Andriods, and furthermore, cannot get as bad as andriod gets, simply because there's only one manufacturer.

You've almost got a great song going there...
I applaud the spirit of your comment, namely that the idea is to take control. My post is mostly aimed at dealing with people who want numbers as a screening question before you get down to negotiating a specific offer.

If you're a top person in great demand, you ought to be able to take control of the negotiation by saying either of the following:

a) My compensation for the past five years isn't the issue here, let's talk about what I can do for you, or;
b) My compensation for the past five years has ranged from X to Y, but here's why I think Z is the right number for this job in this company.
The correct answer is: wear them always (this is only the right answer if you passed high school mathematics).

If you expect a significant percentage of the population to be infected, wearing a mask significantly reduces the infection rate of others (as demonstrated by all asian countries).

By reducing the reproduction factor (which causes the exponential increase ignoring people having developed resistance), it also reduces strain on health workers.

And if you're able to grasp how and why this is so, it even reduces the infection risk for yourself.
There were convention centers converted to isolate patients in Wuhan too. Basically, Wuhan needed both more hospital beds for people requiring intensive care, and more beds for isolating infected patients with mild symptoms. Only the second kind can be in placed in conventional centers.
Alright, I stand corrected.
Every noncash nonmanufacturing problem can be solved simply by running up debt and sorting it out later.
Remember, debt is imaginary! The real part is doing somproductive work for someone else who owes you back. The worst you lose is what you got by working for someone else instead no yourself, not the essentials of life. Debt doesn't hurt anyone. Only forcibly collecting debt payments hurts people. Debt is the buffer against external shocks. That's why it exists and why it was invented even before money was.
Didn't Apple shut that down?
Alarm for what? It's enterprise video conferencing tech. They make their money from subscriptions. Your personal data is rather useless to them and now a liability under data regulations.

Worrying about Zoom here (and I'm not sure the tweet is accurate) seems to ignore all context of the product and business.
The numbers seem to update in a weird staggered way; for example right now for New York I see 15801 + 5429, which is right about the +33% the US has been seeing since Mar 1.
MAC address? Unless they have some Layer2 detection shit running they don't need that. And besides, they wouldn't need it on their servers.
OpenStreetMap is generally very good at this, have you looked at whether the unmapped roads are already in there? Or do you remember the location, like, coordinates? As a contributor to the project I'm curious to take a look. (Though in the USA, OSM doesn't seem to be catching on as much as in the rest of the world; if you're doing stuff with the USA Army I guess odds are good that it's on continental USA and may not be in there either.)

Edit: for what it's worth, Adirondacks is known as a camp site (last edited 22 hours ago; mapped 10 months ago) https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/6540365056
depends on the model, I'm sure. I've never had any problems with the battery life, but that's highly subjective to the way people use a laptop. I'm always spending a couple hours here and there at a coffee shop, but I carry my laptop in a messenger bag so having a charger nearby isn't a problem. Plug it in when I need to, don't bother if I don't.

I'm always curious why people talk about needing battery life so often. Only thing I can think of is if you fly overseas often you would need great battery life, but a mac wouldn't cover that use case either. Where are people going that they aren't within a few feet of an outlet when they are computing?
I can't give you and advice. But I'm observing a lot of foreign companies (software agencies) getting full residence in Bolivia like Cochabamba y Santa Cruz de la Sierra, I had friends working as full time programmers and doing consulting for this companies, and I had heard a lot that the owners prefers to stay here and pay taxes here, for what I know is useful for UK, Canadian and France citizens.

Here in Boliva we typically complaint about taxes management and government regulation, but looks like is a breeze compared to other countries.

This is excellent, but I also recommend the following that describes how text is laid out of the screen:

This data can often still be necessary for legal and/or tax purposes.
> - Emotions swinging from happy to angry in a flash

For me this falls under a general "lack of proprioception" in which I'm bad at recognising both bodily and emotional feelings until they hit a certain threshold, at which point they surprise me at full force. It does have some advantages as an adult - I'm very emotionally steady due to not being influenced by every emotion - but on the other hand it means I miss emotional cues that are often better dealt with before they get too serious, makes relationships hard for the same reason and leads to the risk of substance use as a way of compensating for all of this.

Honestly, for me the attention-related symptoms are the easiest to understand and learn to manage, it's this disconnect from body and feelings that causes the most challenging problems to even notice, let alone manage.
How many years ago did you delete your phone number? This is not a recent dump of data, it is just recently been made more widely available. I believe the original leak was some time in 2019.
It's around 23.69% if my math is correct.

I mean, it's not nothing, but I wouldn't say "practically guarantee".
Except in the hands of kids who manage to destroy cables readily. The original iPad one and even lightning. USB-c is way better.
It showed me that failed German politicians go to the EU and become High-Ranking officials there, possibly because Germany is the most powerful country in the EU.
How so? Covid still exists and there most likely are many undetected cases. Don't buy the marketing propaganda from politicians who have an implied interest in propagating such idioms.

As for the "investigates" which "cleared" the original subjects, they are merely political whitewashes which narrowly define "wrong doing" in such a way as to make sure the CRU actions don't meet that definition. I explain why in this thread:

The fact that the CRU folks conspired to hide data is not in doubt.

Apart from lowering the status of the author of the article, what value do you believe your post adds?

Maybe not entirely on-topic, but I'm very willing to pay a dollar or three for a book in the public domain that hasn't had the Project Gutenberg treatment.
Yeah...I got to the baby voice and the phone and shut it off. It's a little pedo-creepy.
Yeah, TM is free, (R) means registered and costs ~$450+
The language matters less than the book or teacher presenting it. While some languages might make it a bit harder on the instructor, the inverse is a lot worse for a beginner.

And the quality of the book often depends on the prior knowledge of the fledgling programmer and his/her ambitions (important for the topics of exercises etc.).

It's hard to give an easy answer here. Scheme and Python are quite popular in this area, but not everyone should start programming by reading SICP.
I would not say that NIF is a scam, as they are quite open about their priorities: https://lasers.llnl.gov/about/missions/
People doing their jobs and receive training should be personally immune from legal liability. That liability should be held by their employer.

...which is generally how it works, though it's not as strongly codified as it is with qualified immunity.

If you're saying we should expand qualified immunity, I agree.

Not just brand building. How many accounts are linked to your email, and how many of us have had that email on a .org for 10, 20, even 30 years in some cases.

Do you even know how many accounts have that email address as either the primary, or backup/recovery email?

An email address is central to identity management these days.

Lose a long established domain, and you might lose access to most of your other internet accounts, especially the ones you don't use every day and are hard to remember.
This is an outright lie.

In fact, r/btc is controlled by for-profit entity (bitcoin,com which has little to nothing to do with Bitcoin the project) and has advertisements blasted all over the subreddit page.
"There are no golden rules, it's just hard work."

But there are good and bad principles.
Like avoid copy paste. But I would never say, never copy paste code. I do, when I hack something together quickly and if it stays it needs later refactoring. No problem there .. only if the refactoring part gets forgotten bugs sneak in.

Also the advice of less is (usually) more.

Witing code is easy.
Writing good code which is working, readable and maintainable is hard.
But as little as code also goes against readability.

So like many others here said .. dogmas are stupid. There are different szenarios and just use what works for you.
Paul became incredibly successful. I wonder what he thinks his own bus ticket was?

Going deep on a topic seems like great advice with kids, and I wish schools allowed for more of it.
If I asked all the people I know if they would prefer a detached house with a front yard, backyard, two car garage, driveway, or if they would prefer living closer to other people in smaller residences so that bicycling and walking places was possible, I’m willing to bet everything I own that pretty much everyone will choose the first option.

The obesity statistics alone would make it hard for me to believe most people would vote against de prioritizing travel by cars. Hopefully it is possible to get some change on a city level though.

The most significant use case for all things command-line IMHO is automation. Also, I would change that from "command line vs in Python or R" to "command line and Python or R". Build a pipeline like I've discussed in the article, then pipe it into Python or R.
As another freetaxusa user, I would rather pay a very small fee to have the tool walk me through the process than try to figure it out myself.
> Immutable user interface. You no longer have to track state in both the model and the view; the latter is a function of the former. As soon as the model changes, React Native re-renders a virtual tree of the view hierarchy, then applies the delta to the native views.

The meaning of 'immutable' must have changed lately.
Founder here. Our main goal was to make data collection easy, and the analysis even easier - for SMB, and hopefully startups.

Some of the scenarios that are supported out of the box:

- detect a PR crisis http://blog.itrendcorporation.com/2015/03/06/using-itrend-co...

- find who is driving their popularity https://twitter.com/iTrendHQ/status/575464267303948289

- see which features their customers most often complain about

- automatically detect people having issues with their product, that are being ignored

- detect unethical (or illegal) behavior by competitors

You don't live on an open web. On mobile devices, you live in a garden with high walls (Apple, Microsoft) or lowish walls (Android). The consumers of the garden are... the public, not you. You are the gardener planting trees and cutting the grass.

Apple isn't just giving you a place on a shelf either. You have a half dozen ways that consumers are earning credits to buy your stuff (credit cards, kid allowances, supermarket gift cards, credit card rewards, etc), millions spent marketing the platform, etc.

As long as there is a gatekeeper, that gatekeeper will collect a toll. Free/open is going to come from new players like Firefox & Ubuntu, and traction there will give Apple and Google incentives to behave more
Themselves, apparently.
This is a perfectly fine way of looking at it. But here's an interesting question:

- We know that Force is proportional to acceleration. Let's call the proportionality constant, m_1=F/a.

- We also know that objects are attracted to the Earth with a proportionality constant: m_2= F r^2/(GM)

and we can certainly set:

- F == m_1 a == G m_2 M/r^2

to calculate the acceleration of the gravitational force. But why should m_2==m_1?

In other words, why is "inertial mass" (m_1) the same as gravitational mass (m_2)?
I am guessing he means the applications built on top of them.

Say for example you have two users on a normal CRUD app.
User 1 opens an object in a web form. User two opens the same objects a few seconds later.

User 1 updates field A. Saves the object back to the database.

User 2 updates field B. (field A is still in the web form at its initial state). Saves the object.

Field B is at the correct state, but field A is not.
Nope, December was pretty free and easy (comparatively speaking) and Christmas Day was not a lockdown. Boxing Day was (sort of) but I know plenty of people breached that and travelled home after Boxing Day.

I am taking a rest from coding projects (eg SaaS) and focusing on building my developer brand via my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/LachlanMiller. I mainly talk about Vue and some other things.
I enjoyed this comment :) Just wanted to tell you that we're not funded :P

The 18 apps may have similar elements but are approaching this very differently.
That shot is right in front of the building basically. The police opened barricades to let people even closer to the building. Unless the police has some sort of amazing 4D plan they are not letting us in on, which is not likely given the events of today, there is no strategic reason to clear that area. They're just letting the protestors in.
If a mutant strain of COVID-19 becomes twice as deadly, this "merely" doubles the pressure on hospitals. A constant factor like this can be dealt with.

However, an increased rate of spread (R factor) is a change in the parameter of the exponential curve, and cannot be dealt with by any sub-exponential response. The only thing that could possibly work is to change the factor. Rapid vaccination or lockdown. It's impossible to vaccinate the population of London in two weeks, which means a full lockdown is the only option now.

YC News is mostly a forum for software developers, which means that these notions ought to be familiar to most people here. When talking about software algorithms, we all learned about big-O notation. We all learned that Exponential time algorithms are (nearly) the worst case, and will always be worse for large data sets than a linear-time or quadratic algorithm, irrespective of the constant factor.

Essentially the new mutant strain changes the "R" term in Θ(a×exp(R×𝑡)), whereas increasing the lethality is a change in the "a" term.

People are concerned about the lethality getting worse, but they shouldn't be. This change in the infection rate is more scary.
so what do they work on?
The president's own information diet is often fueled from said blogs though. These conspiracy theories definitely weren't given to him by some intelligence agency or election official, so where do you think he got them from? He regularly retweets and repeats talking points created in the deepest parts of the internet.
For people looking to switch to Signal without Google Play services on Android (apk installation), the best way to fix the websocket battery drain is this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/signal/comments/ewp99j/disable_webs...

Unlike Telegram, WhatsApp, Element etc. which work fine without Google, Signal devs have repeteadly refused to make improvements to the "always-awake" mode which happily eats 40% battery.
On second thought, let us not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.
The state is the entity that signed all the free trade treaties in the first place — that enabled the outsourcing and let the production be moved out of the country — and still has the power to set tariffs and industrial policy. So the author's argument is that the only way to fix these problems is through state power.
My wife fits the “almost in a cult” description. I think she loves the positivity, and feels engaged by the classes. She started with bike, but now also does peloton outdoor runs.

She is focused on the Peloton power zone classes. For power zone, you take an FTP test every 6 weeks which measures your ability to produce power output over 20 minutes. The bike then knows your 7 power output zones, from easy effort to max output. Based on that, Peloton instructors design classes which are zone based, and drive improvement at whatever your level is.

I tried powerzone after seeing my wife do it, and although it’s only a part of my exercise, I really like it. You can really see the improvement. I’ve never liked exercise classes in the past, but I like the powerzone classes and instructors.

My wife also signed up for some third party website (I forget what) that is essentially like a team based and powerzone based training plan. It motivates her over longer periods.

Having tried it, I think the peloton bike product is really good. It may have pulled forward a lot of demand and grown too much, but it offers a lot of real value.
A polite request isn't an attack. And it looks like they were trolling.[1]

But Zelle, Venmo, and similar are cash apps...? Why would you want to pay a 3% credit card fee per transaction just so you could accumulate a couple credit card points?
Ooh, I forgot to add the descriptions. Thanks for the shout.

Why it matters is because you get 100% cashback from those services (only Spotify for the first staking level) paid in CRO.

I've then made the assumption in the simulator that you'd liquidate cashbacks and stake rewards monthly, rather than wait until the end of the investment period.

Actually, if I wasn't busy and on another continent, I would apply based on this ad. I don't think it's a bad strategy at all, given the cachet of YC. Also, it's likely that they are doing other things too to look for great hires, not just this HN posting.

Edit: Not trying to imply that I am a "great programmer"... just providing a data counterpoint that they will probably get people who have other options too applying to this to at least check it out.
Most of this is fairly standard solitary confinement/suicide watch procedures, frankly. There are thousands of prisoners receiving comparable treatment who are not part of some politically trendy Wikileaks controversy. If you find any of this outrageous, don't think Bradley Manning is a special case in the slightest.
Its a subtle form of torture... I have heard/read that to keep oneself sane in a solitary you have to occupy yourself - and not go into internal monologues, because they will drive you mad. So the best form of occupation is exercise - pacing the cell (however small it is), meditation (keeping your mind void), etc...

So they are effectively preventing him from clinging to his sanity. Make no mistake - solitary confinement is meant to drive you mad, thats all there is to it.
Also, you learn about memory management and device constraints.

Didn't know that a tablet platform will have device constrain with so much processing power at hand. Will someone enlighten me about the amount of low level stuff (memory management and thinking about rams and disk space and the likes) goes into writing software for iPad or even an android and iPhone.
Isn't interrupted sleep (arguably sleep deprivation) a questionable a form of torture?
I've got to buy you a beer one of these days.
I would also add bragging. People claim to be pimps, drug dealers, and tax cheats for some reason. Then you get the ones that brag about acquaintance rape.

People say all types of things for seriously strange reasons.
Glen Greenwald's salon.com piece on this is also a worthy read; it discusses the irreversible physical harm to the brain these conditions have probably already caused Manning. They also have him on a steady dose of antidepressants... All this makes me sick to hear about.
I am in the process of rewriting hundreds of rspec tests to work with rspec 2/rspec rails for rails 3. This is killing my "TDD saves time" argument and it is really all the fault of rspec. Rails 3 requires Rspec 2, which has syntax tweaks that seem largely masturbatory. Now I have 183 failing tests, and no confidence whether it is rails changes I need to make, or updates to test syntax that are needed. Essentially I now have a parallel app to maintain and upgrade (the tests) and with test::unit which is stable I would come out much farther ahead effort-wise as I would get the benefit of the tests, without large maintanence cost for the tests.

In summary, Rspec is on a high horse and thinks I should maintain it like it was another app.

edit: And now I'm wondering if I need a test suite for my test suite. TDD Turtles, all the way down...
The comment I was replying to was ~⅔ quasi argumentum ad populum.
