I'm not in development or engineering directly but work in an operations role (mostly Puppet and Terraform work) where I've been oncall for the majority of my career. One thing that is common when things get really bad is the mindset of oncall doesn't count towards my role at the company. Many people see it as the painful work of cleaning up while the others are out building the next big thing. So it's easy to see people jump into the shift, deal with the mass alerts, then leave without making any improvements for the next guy or gal.

One way we have been trying to improve this is working with PagerDuty reporting and looking at the total amount of interruptions (not just pages but anytime PagerDuty reminds you for an alert/expired snooze/escalation) with the team. It's very easy to forget the oncall as you leave, but having more eyes on the shifts starts to bring awareness and lots of "why is that still broken" questions that are better answered at 10am vs 3am on a Sunday. I came from a large Operation Center so I know the pain of bad alerts, mostly cya stuff where it was put in place just to make sure the last guy can't get blamed. Sort of like adding 100's of random smoke detectors in a build without any fire suppression. The intention is good but the results are poor.

Outside of the meeting with the team, we also have proper handoff meetings with off call and on call, so they can share what's going on verbally instead of tagging the next person with the alerts. Makes it easier to share what's going on, any weird problems, notes. Also we're not using a 24/7 oncall coverage but 12/5 and 48/2 for the weekends, it's a small change but helps so much. The worst I ran was a 7/24 at a major email company and was paged every three hours, for the entire week. After that I knew the team didn't want to change and I needed to do something about it.
Consensus about Severian's play is that Wolfe intentionally wrote it as the doggerel that a motley troupe of untrained traveling actors would perform. It is a bad play just like so many morality plays dating from the early modern era were clunky. Here, the point (besides the play giving clues to the plot) is that Wolfe could not only write well, he could intentionally write badly when it could lend color to the tetralogy.

So, a screenplay adaptation of Eschatology and Genesis would be missing the point.
I think there's value. I learned a tiny bit of prolog while looking at semantic technologies, and I found it really interesting. It's an interesting query language for arbitrary data; an alternative to GraphQL that creates "links" by establishing facts about bits of unstructured data.

Is it worth becoming an expert? No. Is it worth spending a day or a week playing with? Most definitely. I have a few niche things I've picked up like that. Learning a little bit of Lisp was similar, although I'd like to learn more of that some day.
Perhaps I’m just the wrong audience but I had a good laugh at the irony of this clarification:

“IMT is the ITU nomenclature for all things cellular”

... OK, but what is ‘ITU’ the nomenclature for?
Agree with the $100/year just to be able to do what other browsers allow for free (AFAIK). Used to be that Apple offered free extension hosting, even with a free certificate.

Forcing developers to pay is the most developer- and user-hostile thing they could do, and is the main reason I don’t use Safari anymore (there just isn’t any worthwhile extensions for it).
I think in a way that's the next step but they may have to wait a little bit before they have the processing power.

If you are talking about 24 frames per second, then theoretically one second of video could require 24 times as much processing power. And 100 seconds 2400 X. Obviously that's just a random guess but surely it is much more than for individual images.

But I'm sure we'll get there.
Gutenberg is such dogshit when it comes to UX. It is so unintuitive with respect to the classic editor or ANY of the 3rd party page designers. It is unusable in every single scenario I’ve encountered, running 5 large well known websites/blogs.
For batch jobs you have papermill, for plaintext format you have the jupytext extension that pairs the Jain notebook with a script with notebook markup in comments. I honestly wish that they had used that format as just being the notebook format, but it’s a nice enough and easy fix.
I grew up in rural North Dakota, here's what happens. You walk outside and inhale, and your boogers will immediately freeze in your nose. It feels.... odd, I've no way to explain it properly, it honestly is something one has to experience. The general rule is below about -10C or thereabout you blow your nose before going outside. That or you're going to wait for it to thaw and then blowing your nose.

Doesn't have anything to do with frostbite that I'm aware of.

When its that cold for shits I would take a full cup of boiling/hot water and throw it in the air. Making snow is fun.
Rust & Ada & C++ are all shown on the benchmarks game website.
I don’t get this same feeling on all ShowHN posts. Most of them, especially for individual projects like this, are supportive critiques of the thing being “shown”.
> I'm always amazed by how many words journalists manage to write about a something without actually stating what it is.

That's usually a good indication that the author doesn't understand what they're writing about; it's particularly visible in articles about science or technical matters. Understanding breeds conciseness.
It’s not of both; significance of contactless technology that are used in Tap to [__] is that they require neither electrical nor physical connections. There are other RF-based technologies that require no conductive surfaces but some sort of mechanical touches.

The reason why the users are instructed to slam the card or device is because users fail to perform required actions if simply told to hold the card or phones just right. Spatial cognition isn’t a forte for many.

The reason why tap is used in VISA contactless over touch is probably because Suica system used by JR East uses the phrase “Suica is touch 1-second”.
I dont agree. I tried to build and start the self-hosted signal for myself. As I know, version 5.1.0 of android app doesn't work with current server 3.21, but app version 4.66.1 works fine. I mean, app does not work as planed, of course you can write messages to yourself and send SMS, but you cannot find out if a user is registered number with a signal server and cannot start signal chat with him. All because of that, since 5.1.0 accesses /v1/attestation/<UUID> and gets 404, and 4.66.1 accesses /v1/profile/<number> and gets a valid server response.
As a shareholder how do you access that value without stock market shenanigans coming into play? The only two that come to mind are companies about to go bankrupt, or a careful focus on dividend value (but dividends may not pay out the value of their static assets without having to sell them.)
The industry standard for network credentials are the Cisco certifications, namely: CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE. I recommend getting a text book and starting with CCNA. If that’s a bit rough you can study for Network+, the baby cert from Comptia.

Get the Cisco “Packet Tracer” application to help you study. It is a network simulation application that allows you drop fake hardware into a fake network that you can configure and pass packets across.

I know software developers don’t do certifications, but networking does (actually absolutely everybody else does). Those certifications are the equivalent of a law license or medical license for that industry.

> So, to summarize the problem with all these tutorials seems to be too much time commitment -- unfortunately I don't have that much time.

Make time. Find it. Skills and knowledge take study and practice which take time. If you cannot be bothered to spend time learning this I recommend you stop lying to yourself about it and go do something else.
That’s an artifact of including a specific time in your prediction. If you made that same statement time-invariant “GME will moon” it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Well, would you trust that the original owner erased his/her private keys and not made a copy?
> Pay down any debts greater than 7% per year (7% is the average yearly return for the stock market)

Pretty poor advice imo, it's comparing a risky versus a risk-free return. Paying off a 7% interest nets you that return, guaranteed. Investing in a 7% stock market nets you that return on average, but it could be -30% that year, too. Volatility and risk requires compensation for it to simply be accepted. Where the threshold lies is hard to say, but I think it's much more sensible for example to pay off a 5% interest in lieu of investing in a volatile asset class that does 7% on average.

> If you have the space, buy products you're guaranteed to use in bulk on sale

That's true but, space comes at a cost, too. A square metre in a city costs about $6000. I'm not interested in buying 'years of supply of toilet paper' on sale and getting into the business of storage at the most premium price (residential real estate) level. Not a bad suggestion but shouldn't be in the top 50 I think, let alone as point nr 2.

Alright the rest is kinda of mediocre, not really worth going into. There's so much much better personal finance advice out there, even one-pagers out there, that this isn't really worth discussing.
It's another layer, you don't have to use it. If you pretend schemas don't exist you basically never know they do, unless you go looking for complexity in the postgres bowels.
Another way that I like to think about this is that if you think of a stock price as following brownian motion (e.g. follows a random, well defined process), then it follows that the stock price has a scaling-invariance property. In other words, the stock prices follows the same process regardless of the time window.. e.g. a day for day traders, milliseconds for HF, or years for long term value holders.

Now, brownian motion is just a model for a stock price so YMMV, but still an interesting idea. An investor can pick whatever time horizon interests them and that they're most suitable to take advantage of; e.g. HF traders take advantage of low latencies, technical analysis for day traders, and macro / micro economic analysis for value.

As the OP said, there are these three ways to look at this and at the end of the day, all are gambling with different time-horizons and this is possible because of this scale-invariance property.
It’s really interesting seeing how HN can be so uninformed when the topic changes to their area of expertise, this thread is insightful and I’ll use the search button to get an understanding of how many morons are on this forum, this is great for me as I’m not a coder and thought this crowd was ‘smart’.
Does it make sense to use BTC (or another crypto) to wire money internationally? I assume that there are fees for transforming USD to BTC and BTC to local currency, but are those higher than Transferwise or doing a traditional bank wire transfer? Is there a service that wires money and uses crypto as a backend?

The backups are unencrypted as highlighted in the UI (if I recall correctly). They re-generate the keys when you switch phones / re-install / clear data. That's when you get to see the "XYZ's security code changed" service message
Journals do have a value, but not the value that Elsevier extracts out of them to the tune of billions of dollars a year in profits. Facilitating peer-review, being selective, indexing content, archiving and copyediting does indeed cost money. If we had a world where there were a large number of people dealing with peer-review referee selection, managing correspondence for free, and copyediting for free we could easily not have any publishers at all, and no subscriptions or article processing charges.

Currently locking people out of information that is often funded with public money is not good for society. So having a small publication charge that can be covered in research is a good compromise to keep this work going on. Now the reward system of publication with impact factors and citations is indeed also entirely broken but that is another issue. But there is a lot more work that is thought of in the publication process. Yes peer reviewers are not paid, but finding the right reviewers, dealing with conflicts of interest, getting them to respond, and corresponding is not free. It takes time. And time is money. The more selective a journal is, the more they have to reject so those papers cost you time without a finished product. All of this does not cost the money that Elsevier reaps but it is not free.
I agree mate, I've deleted all my social media and it has been great since day one.

My consumption of information is so much better now that I have had to seek out reliable sources.
> If there is no internet, how do you search for a solution to an immediate problem or look up documentation?

Several DoE labs in the US were attacked around 2010. Jefferson Lab was cut off from the internet for several months (or maybe over a year?), and the only on-site access to the internet as a whole was a limited set of machines which weren't on the rest of the network. If you needed to look something up you'd go use one of those machines instead.
I don't know the specifics, but there's also the mental cost of the doctor seeing something concerning enough that warrants an MRI and waiting 7 months just for the test; praying nothing gets worse in the meantime.
Michael Lind is a big fan of Burnham's ideas about how the divides in our society tend to be more along the lines of productive individuals (which are both workers and entrepreneurs and organizers and generally people with domain-specific skills) who add value, and the class of managerial elites (middle managers, self-designated experts who consider themselves generalists).

If you genuinely see the Republicans as a force for evil and the Democrats as a force for good, then I don't think you're going to enjoy his work.

If you see the hyper-concentration of power in our society (in finance, in business, in politics) as problematic and are curious about the reasons for it and more information about it, and what some ideas about how to address it, then this article is a good introduction to some of the concepts.
be careful, with an LLC you will be responsible for paying 15.3% more taxes than an S-Corp. The S-Corp is the only one that reduces employment tax liabilities. As well, if you ever think that you will entertain bringing on investors you will have to form a S or C and buy out the LLC.
I would wager that most people with hypertension have it because they are fat. I would also wager that if someone looks healthy, like a soccer player, there is a good chance they don't have any of the conditions now classified as "metabolic disorder." They might have brain cancer, or a cold, or even type 1 diabetes, but they probably don't have high blood pressure or type II diabetes. High cholesterol I know nothing about, so I wouldn't make any bets about that. I have other wagers about skinny people with hypertension, but it's getting too far off topic now.

If there's a legit reason to do this, can't Obama just ask the top tier ISPs to implement such a filter? Do we really need legislation to this effect?
Explain to me why this would be a good idea.

Where I stand, giving to one person the power to completely disable the primary and most efficient way of communication is frightening and awful.

The reasoning behind it? We can stop communications from attacking countries in times of war.

The reality is that there are many other modes of communication for the kind of 1 to 1 communication an attacker would need, but there are far fewer ways for the type of 1 to 1000's communication activists and thinkers need.
This would require all internet traffic (seemingly) to be routed through a bunch of points controlled directly by the executive branch. My big brother alarms are a-buzzing.

I haven't been on any train after 6pm that wasn't loaded with drunks, in either direction. It gets especially bad going back out around 1am. I wish they didn't allow drinking on the trains.
Hi!

Am Raaghavv, and am looking for a technical co-founder for my company Starcast.

Am based b/w Mumbai & Bangalore, India, and am building a platform/community/market-network ecosystem ala angelist/airbnb for the media & entertainment industry which is focused, to begin with, on acting talent finding opportunities & resources.

Following the do-things-that-don't-scale approach, I dropped my career as an actor and started an actor management agency where I personally represent and manage other acting talent (pitching, negotiations, coordination), thanks to which I now have even more credibility and networks across all verticals in the industry (casting, production, direction, PR), as well as profitability based on our commission model.

Am looking for a technical rockstar who can benefit from my domain expertise and networks to help build a management software for actors as a starting point, as most actors in India are unrepresented until they become famous. This would track project information, dates, monies, contacts, and so on, and gradually we can add service providers and other members of the industry to create accounts and build workflows, micro tools and tech enabled services to create a sticky ecosystem which makes day-to-day functioning of the industry, which is currently run a bit ad-hoc, more streamlined, organised and systemised.

With the help of a technical advisor friend and an intern, I have managed to get built an influencer search engine as that’s what developed traction over covid, however, now that the industry is getting back to its feet, we’re expanding to allow for submissions of talent enquiries across other talent types as well (actors & models).

Please write to me at raaghavvchanana@starcast.com, and we can schedule a time to zoom.
If you are paying Thai taxes, then you will probably get out of paying US taxes either by deducting or via the FEIE. Of course, if you are working remote in Thailand for an American company, you are pretty much in a double tax situation that you legally can't get out of (you can just not pay Thai tax, but that is breaking Thai law).

This is a finely written article but it's showing an ignorance of basic marketing.

"You can't grow a consumer product that hasn't reached product market fit". The term 'product market fit' is specific to a certain type of product development, and implies market feedback, pivots, MVP's, and so on.

Well firstly, there are plenty of products and services that don't need these constructions to grow. Chinese factories that mass produce screws don't need market feedback and certainly don't send out MVP's to see how they do, for example.

Secondly, plenty of people buy plenty of things that they don't need, all the time. Probably in far greater numbers than products created in a typical lean-startup-webapp manner.

'Product market fit' is relevant to a product/service which is specifically created based upon a marketing concept. Plenty of products are created and sold - and yes, grown - based upon the Selling and Production concepts.

Lastly, the framework invented here is a simplistic version of a Kano model and a Kano analysis, which has existed for 40 years and will give you a better insight into products.
What with that website...its literally 2 layers of popups and sidebars and ads covering the text? Close & move on...
In old days, software were copied (yeah, on floppies) from friend to friend. A true "sneakernet" P2P^W F2F-network.

Nowadays, software is either obtained directly from authors (or packagers), or from more centralized P2P sources, and, in my personal perception, most of time flash drives are used is to transfer documents, not executables.
I'd have gone with the hundreds of Jews murdered that night and subsequent tens of thousands sent to concentration camps in the aftermath as the important violence there, honestly.
If these execs with fancy credentials make investors trust the company more, and then the investors give the company an eleven-figure valuation, it’s not hard to argue the execs contributed 1% of the share price. It’s a better deal than the SPACs, where the big name gets 5% of the equity for doing even less.
Consider who taught them not to care.
> You think Amazon, one of the largest companies in the world, will engage in any anti-union campaign without consulting their lawyers on what's right and what's not?

What? You could conclude that anything that Amazon does is legal by this logic. I'm sure they /did/ consult their lawyers - not for lessons on "right" and "wrong", but to find exactly how to skirt or cross the legal line with an acceptable level of legal exposure.
I'd be happy to just have wifi that didn't lose its mind when you run the microwave.
Wondering how this compares to other common diseases. Unfortunately some more context would be useful for us laymen to understand the implications.
This happened to me in am interview. It was my first software engineering job, so I was a junior. Wound up solving a problem one of the senior engineers had been struggling with for days. It’s probably what got me the job. Assuming the company is actually hiring for the role I think it’s perfectly fine to do this. It identifies people who can fill in gaps.
I completely agree. I hate when people ask me if I am an Eagle scout because I feel like they consider me a failure, or at least that I gave up, when I say no. But I don't feel that way myself. I had different priorities and different goals within scouting.

For example, I could have done an Eagle project the summer after high school, but I left immediately to be a camp counselor at the church camp - something I had dreamed of doing since the third grade. Had I stayed home, I would have had the time to go through with a project. But I had different priorities.

I wasn't in scouting for the Eagle. I was in it for the friends and for the adventure. I hiked, biked, and canoed. I helped my troop become more scout-led. I didn't do it halfway.
I think this is all well and good, there are always things we procrastinate.

However, I think if you need to run your life like this... maybe look at what you're doing, as a whole. I don't think you should have to hack your motivation, or anything else, to get it to work.
Fascinating. The Independent doesn't seem to say they got the documents from Snowden. They appear instead to be accepting UK intelligence agencies claiming that Snowden had certain information.

Maybe these were documents that the NSA has identified as likely compromised? Or maybe they were found on someone else (Miranda?) but it seems like this is an interesting development.

I am not even sure the Independent is being dishonest about it. However, something pretty odd is going on and the UK government is starting to look pretty incompetent.
