Same here, except that I write it down. For each project I have a text file called "TODO" that is always open and if I need to decide on something, I usually write it down as a task. I normally start the task description with a verb and these tasks start with "Think". First I quickly write down the issue I'm facing, then write "Variants:" and list all the different ways of solving this issue. I do not evaluate them as I do this, just get pen them down. And once I'm over with variants, I write the final decision and rationale.

(I once read about problem-solving therapy that is used in cognitive-behavioral approach and this is almost the same pattern. It sounds obvious, but few people really follow the steps in practice. It's also similar to brainstorming.)

In many cases I come up with more variants that I initially had in mind and quite often I end up choosing the variant that didn't appear promising on the first look.
> getting things done faster leaves more time for doing them better

It's the other way around. If you take the time to do things better, then you build up momentum and make future work easier. If you want to improve productivity, slow down and do things right, consistently. It'll pay off in the long run.
How do you explain that to companies that follow the Google interviewing model?
Well, one gets only so much energy out of every reaction. But this is such an absurd amount of energy that it's hardly the technological bottleneck. The nuclear physics of fusion is the easy part.

To get a burning fusion reaction, you need to satisfy the Lawson criteria [1], which can be seen as a constraint on the "confinement time", into which goes all the plasma physics. Empirically and theoretically, the most important factor in maximizing the confinement time is the strength of the magnetic field. We can just about able to create magnets that are strong enough, but they aren't strong enough structurally: the force they exert on the plasma is enough to break the magnets themselves.

From what I've seen and heard, the two most important bottlenecks are structural strength of strong (superconducting) magnets, and the robustness of blanket material to neutron bombardment.

I find that trailers are almost always a bad reflection on the movie.

- Sometimes the trailer is great, and the movie sucks.

- Sometimes the trailer sucks, and the movie is great.

- Sometimes the trailer sucks, and the movie sucks for totally different reasons

But very rarely do I see a trailer, and then watch the movie and think "oh yeah, the trailer captured that pretty well".

The fact that the trailer looks bad (and it does!), tells me very little about what the movie will be like, except for highlighting which actors are in it, and triggering my personal responses to those actors (I'm personally not a fan of Melissa McCarthy).

[edited to add, because I forgot]

> Is this really about sexism?

The fact that people don't like the trailer? No.

The fact that so many people are going out of their way to rip into a movie they haven't seen, in ways that are more caustic than they would typically be for an unsatisfying reboot/sequel that hadn't switch the gender roles? Yes, I think that is based on sexism.
No, main problem is its another effing REBOOT hijacking original name.
I actually agree with much of the articles reasoning, other than the title, and everything about Ghostbusters:

> More specifically, a vocal portion of men on the internet — shall we say — go out of their way to make their voices heard when it comes to judging entertainment aimed at women, and that appears to be happening with the new “Ghostbusters.”

The thing with the new Ghostbusters has nothing to do with them being women. I'd see Bridesmaids 2 or any other comedy with Kristen Wiig (probably have), and I like Paul Feig fine.

The problem with the new Ghostbusters is that it's not Ghostbusters, not that it's necessarily a bad comedy.

The old Ghostbusters is shot and built up as a dark disaster movie, that just happens to be really funny. The new one is a Paul Feig movie (again, not knocking). It doesn't fit.

I noticed the same thing in the last season of Veep when Ianucci left. Instead of it shot more like an Office-type documentary (without the interviews, like its predecessor The Thick of It), if you look at the Christmas episode (of Veep) as the clearest example, it's shot like any other honestly mediocre sitcom, with saturated colors and honestly phoned in jokes.

Sorry about the tirade, but as a guy who does like good female media (Broad City and Lady Dynamite are my latest favorites), seeing this argument be made with terrible examples is unfortunate.
This got probably posted after the event in Nice. But keep in mind there is still no evidence this was an Islamic attack.

The good news is that the capabilities of the sandbox don't need to be every-expanding, the way browsers have been. The sandbox should support everything the hardware can do, and then there are policy decisions about what capabilities web pages actually get.

We use ServiceNow at work, and it's absolutely horrible. Introduces so much red tape even to do simple things like become an administrator on a virtual machine requested against your account .
> a bug in recv, send or other networking syscalls certainly could be much worse than a local priv escalation

I think that's very unlikely. Since most of the socket API ignores the payload (it's just opaque data), I don't see how recv/send issue could be triggered from outside. Syscall vulnerabilities are usually based on bad flags, bad addresses, or type confusions. Normally you have to have local access to control those.
It's disturbing that in the age when we can manipulate atoms, we still cannot do anything about religious fanaticism, and about religion itself for that matter.

He's not saying that Rust is a sandbox, but rather that Rust should be used to write a sandbox.

Nice article, though there's a slight historical inaccuracy:

Blink raised the implementation quality bar with it’s tab-per-process design and privilege dropping.

These were Chrome features, not Blink features. Blink didn't even exist when they were developed.
What are the plans for more integration? What do you mean by "Same with VScode"? There is no PTVS for VScode so far.
I might add that the difference between a hacked together kernel and the Linux kernel is HUGE. "Hacked together" projects are full of weird bugs, incorrect concurrent code that still works 99+% of the time but then rarely crashes and burns when that ill-anticipated failure case execution interleaving randomly strikes -- to say nothing of problematic and unrefined UX. Well-designed projects are a work of beauty.
Meanwhile, this timely article posted to HN earlier today quotes Mark Zuckerberg thus:

<In 2007, a fresh-faced Mark Zuckerberg famously ruffled feathers among some older colleagues when he suggested that tech companies should not hire people over 30. “Young people are just smarter,” the Facebook chief executive, then 22, told a crowd at Stanford University.>

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12097005

Having 90% of your workforce be white and Asian between 22 and 35, and predominately male at that, is an odd definition of "diversity".
Pretty soon attacks like these (Religiously-motivated muslim terrorists killing large numbers of innocent people) will be happening every week or even every day, I fear.
In some places, non-negotiable offers are pretty standard. Eg programming jobs in New Zealand - many hiring managers would rather kill themselves then pay more than whatever they have already decided to pay a programmer. Or negotiation will happen, but then the number on the contract will mysteriously not change, and if you complain about it you will be told that it can't be fixed now, just sign it and accept the offer and they will totally correct the number, just not right now. And once you have signed, well, verbal contracts always defer to written contracts in NZ, so it never gets fixed. There are some amazing things about NZ, but the job market as a programmer is not one of them.
You only need three ingredients: miracles, prophecies, and a timeframe.

You need a couple of miracles to get people to listen. And you need true prophecies (accurate predictions of the future) to have long term following.

Good luck
I think it's sad that everybody is already jumping into conclusions. The same happened with the missing flight MS804. Everybody was shouting 'IS attack' but we still don't know.

This is dangerous because it troubles our thinking.
They DO happen every week in the Middle East, I am afraid.

On one hand IQ is pretty much a measure of general problem solving ability. The higher your IQ, the better you will solve most kind of problems.

On the other hand, that's an average. Most anyone can solve any individual problem once.
I think that partitioning and sandboxing software is underutilized, and that the Chromium sandbox is well designed.

But I don't know what sandbox escapes for Chromium look like? My guess would be that it involves things like browser plugins, or nasty stuff like WebGL. In which case sandboxing isn't failed, we're just not doing enough of it.
I have one USB3 128GB flash drive—manufactured right on the cusp of single-package 128GB NAND becoming available—where whenever I plug it into any device, it slow's that device's wi-fi to a crawl, and multiplies tenfold the jitter for any connected Bluetooth input peripherals. None of my other USB3 devices do it. I always figured it was a grounding problem or something.
Right. It's pretty ridiculous that they don't put that front and center, but that "the low pay issue" has to bubble up somewhere in the comments. I find it rather distasteful to lean on open source as the primary reason for paying engineers less. It's plain from comments here and elsewhere that the main pressure is to keep the burn rate low. Which is fine, that's not a dumb thing to want to keep under control. But as we used to say in the Army, you can shine a turd but it's still a turd. And I mean no offense to Gitlab. I use Gitlab in production and think it's great software. All the more reason to pay the engineers well for their excellent work.
What do you mean by "Google interviewing model"? Are you suggesting that this is a problem at Google and companies that interview the way it does?

On the evidence of this article, the author needs to read up on basic HCI principles in UI design, in particular the concept of mode error and issues relating to colour blindness.

The article pretty neatly avoids any considerations of Britain's history. When she was at the height of her leadership of the West (Victorian period) she had a similar attitude of being detached from mainland Europe. Disraeli (PM) even called Britain a primarily Asiatic power

The article also blurs Western values with "American foreign policy". Engaging with powers we don't see eye to eye with in non-military ways should be seen as expressing western values.
Here's one: Take a complex system and make it as simple as possible but no simpler. The complexity may be essential or accidental (as introduced by previous 'fast' programmers). When you need someone with this ability, you really need them because the system is falling over under its own weight.

If the article was just about negative reviews from professional reviewers who had seen the film, sure.

But if there are 12,000 reviews when the film isn't out in cinemas yet? That sounds like a symptom of activism by people who haven't seen the film.
Have you considered looking towards foreign films, which may have a different way of telling a story? Some were popular in the US, like Amélie and Pan's Labyrinth, and of course there's the Academy Award winners and nominees for Best Foreign Language Film.

Less popular ones include those listed at http://the-artifice.com/best-foreign-films-last-15-years/ , like Run Lola Run/Lola rennt, Noi the Albino/Nói albínói, Moolaadé, Second Skin/Segunda Piel and The Celebration/Festen.

No Hollywood film has covered female genital mutilation, which is the topic of Moolaadé, and Festen is part of the Dogme 95 movement,"to create filmmaking based on the traditional values of story, acting, and theme, and excluding the use of elaborate special effects or technology."

There's also Russian Ark/Русский ковчег, which is a single, uninterrupted, 87-minute take through centuries of Russian history while going through the Winter Palace at the Hermitage Museum. Or any number of other lists of notable foreign films, like http://www.salon.com/2015/01/24/7_must_see_foreign_films_tha... or http://www.bfi.org.uk/news-opinion/news-bfi/lists/10-great-f... .

Comparing two protocols using different providers, isn't that a bit comparing pears and apples? And i have a doubt, which could be bad assumption, but that it is on hardware you control or own and what exactly runs on it, and potentially which other parties use it.
It is not really something you are allowed to say here it seems as even on HN are people who believe which boggles the mind; I would love to hear from them what a possible solution would be. I know Islam & Christianity etc are about peace these days, but they were and often are not; their bibles are full of violence, hate, prejudice etc that 'the enlightened' learned to interpret differently. The fact that humanity decided to interpret things differently in 'some cases' is weird in itself; who told them too etc? Maybe the intent was and is violence and death and pain for everything that is 'different'? Isn't that what hell is? And many (growing in the middle east and africa) believe that to be their religion. Unfortunately besides trying to say their religion is peaceful, which they don't read in their holy books, no real solutions come from those who are religious so doing something about religion itself would be the only solution. I would love to hear some other, practical, insights which exclude teaching people more so they abandon religion. For me personal the latter would be the best, but on the other hand, everyone should be able to live the way they want (within boundaries) and if you want to live like that then that is fine as long as you tolerate others who believe something else. Again; I don't see that happen unless you radically rewrite the holy books to be completely modern (which also includes all other things which people still literally believe, and which are thus part of the problem, like the creation in 6 days and so forth).
I read somewhere that people who don't know calculus somehow invent it by themself when faced with a problem that requires it.

Related note about fracking in the midwest: Water can be drilled for at 100ft-600ft usually. Despite that shallow depth, It will take 6,000+ years to restore the aquifer in the unfortunate event that the resource is not conserved.

With the average oil/natural gas well depth of 3,500ft in the central midwest, it's important to remember that these wells are far below a region where they could affect the water table. Careless and irresponsible operators spilling toxic solvents is the real danger that needs to be addressed.

This should also dispel the myth that the Keystone pipeline poses a major risk to the aquifer, if every engineering precaution were to break down and the worst happen.

Now if we could just figure out a way to cheaply transmit all this wind power we have in the midwest back east....
Because ISIS (and other terrorists; I think most terrorists in history?) bases all attacks on their religion?
the thing is, people are deeply irrational on many, many levels. emotions take over our decisions, which seems to be the case for most of population quite often, and quite a few times for the rest too.

you & your wife might be very rational compared to average, but "crowd" isn't. otherwise they wouldn't consider some soccer games most important thing in the universe for a few weeks in a year, wouldn't give a damn about terrorism, would lead healthier lives, wouldn't think with their d*cks and so on.

over longer term, it's a zoo out there, however nice we want to paint our civilization so far. it's rule of the stronger, as it has ever been, and power in numbers will over time prevail over some more rational approach (as yours). if times will get really rough medieval-style, mortality will sort this out anyway.

I used to care a lot about these things, worried and afraid and so on. not anymore - apart from nuclear holocaust/massive meteorite/supervolcano, mankind will in some way survive. and since we have no clue what will happen tomorrow, no need to worry and just do what you feel is right for you. or something like that
That's a nicely concise survey. Looking from outside, I'd say it's hard to overestimate Goethe's importance to German speakers - he's their Homer/Virgil/Shakespeare, the German state sponsored schools for spreading their language and culture abroad are named Goethe Institut.

One particular bit not mentioned was the 'Farbenlehre' - if memory serves, Goethe got into a bit of a tiff with Newton about color theory, and although he had his supporters, did not come out on top.
But was this an ISIS attack?
Simply casting typically male roles (comedic lead, scientist, etc.) with female actors is feminist. The movie doesn't need to have a feminist "message" to be feminist. Note: when I say feminist I mean that entirely as a good thing.

If you look at the gender breakdown on imdb for movies that have been out for a while (meaning that people have actually have had the time to watch them), it seems like the differences between the genders are nowhere near as big as for the new ghostbusters movie. The original Ghostbusters for example is 7.8 (m) vs 7.6 (f) [0]. It doesn't look like imdb provides the gender breakdown of votes in their publicly available dataset[1], but it would be interesting to see someone preform a more rigorous analysis (than me looking at movies I can remember at the top of my head).

Ask HN: YouTube or Podcast?
Hi all, would love some quick feedback. I've been doing YouTube for a while now producing videos on creating your own startup.

But I'm unsure if YouTube is the go to platform for this content. What would you prefer, video on YouTube or audio as a podcast?
just because it messed with your own personal namespace - you know that lepton is a particle and not a thermal camera right. Just because camera marketers got to you first. The real problem is polluting using useful words to market things in the first place.
Good luck getting Microsoft, Apple, Google and all the different Linux stakeholders into one boat on that :/ At least in the browser world there are standardisation efforts even if they don't work very well in different places, but it's the closest to the "write once run everywhere" for a platform we ever got. And it is the only remaining open platform where I don't need to enter a 'relationship' with a 'platform owner' to write and publish software for it (edit: except Linux of course).

I would like an OS-level sandbox that doesn't treat its users like idiots. But this is not what's currently happening (especially the "don't treat the user like an idiot" part). iOS and Android have always been closed platforms, and OSX and Windows are currently locked down at high speed.

The browser platform might be a mess, but it's less of a mess than the sum of all the underlying operating systems the browser is running on, and the only open-yet-secure platform that exists.

I think he means:

The Google culture is built around cerebral competition. The drive to dominate ones peers, possessed by many technical types, is used to create a fiercely competitive atmosphere. This competition is used to drive productivity. The trouble with this is that it is difficult to measure code quality but easy to measure how quickly the code is produced. Thus within highly competitive environments code tends to be produced as quickly as possible, rather than as well as possible. Of course this is debatable and if true, is only a tendency...
