Super Mario Run announced for iOS
It would have been nice to watch this live, but since I don't have an Apple device, my only option is to watch it on Microsoft Edge running on Windows 10. Nice job shutting out a huge portion of your audience, Apple.

Requirements: Live streaming uses Apple’s HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) technology. HLS requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with Safari on iOS 7.0 or later, a Mac with Safari 6.0.5 or later on OS X v10.8.5 or later, or a PC with Microsoft Edge on Windows 10. Streaming via Apple TV requires an Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) with software 6.2 or later or an Apple TV (4th generation).
Okay, the people who serve lunch to the movie crew also gets their names in credits. She has a job...cool, but its not any more meaningful than anything else because her industry makes you look at a scrolling list of everyone related to the project.
Just because I'm working on my PC doesn't mean my changes aren't pushed elsewhere frequently (admittedly the "trunk based development" crowd seem determined to make this less flexible than it ought to be...)

The Daily Checklist of Successful Sales Managers
Step 1: Take highly able kids who score in the top 1% in entrance exams or can get SAT scores of 700 at age 13.

Step 2: Sort these highly able kids into quartiles by their test scores.

Result: Even within the top 1% of IQ, the relative ability still matters. I.e. there is no "cutoff" for becoming a great scientist or inventor; smarter is always better.
My team doesn't have too much of a problem with DevOps. Of course, there are 2 significant mitigating factors: 1) we have a large team of about 8 developers thus we do on-call for one week every other month, 2) we're a moderately strong XP shop so we pair program & TDD code plus factor integration tests into stories (i.e. we avoid shitty code and "only so-and-so knows that" B.S. problems in the 1st place). I would NOT agree to DevOps on a 3-4 person team w/o some sort of significant stipend/bonus program, and I would _NEVER_ do DevOps in a team that didn't pair & didn't have good testing practices. YMMV.
As someone occasionally told my job is becoming irrelevant by people here on HN, I hope you folks have some regard for sysadmins who do on call regularly and (likely) get paid drastically less to do it. ;)

I've been told here that now developers can and should do everything, but it doesn't seem like a lot of developers want to be called in at 2am.

You make some good points.

However, I'm not speaking about whether someone's action is worthy or unworthy, but rather, the specific reaction of judgement itself as a form of conscious energy. When examined energetically, the intention of judging itself is often a form of social aggression, usually in reaction to aversion.

Aversion is a natural instinct when we come across something that is toxic, or more precisely, perceived as toxic to our bodies. Toxins get expelled. This is very natural, at least for human bodies.

The thing is that Consciousness spans more than being human, and it persists beyond the our given lifetime as a human. We trade roles and act out this theatre where, sometimes you are the one judging, and sometimes you are the one being judged for the same actions. What is toxic at some level of teaching is not toxic at other levels of teaching. The teaching that an individual needs is specific to that moment, in that setting.

Also, 'harm' and 'potential harm' is not so simple. There are physical, emotional, and mental damage that can be inflicted, both accidentally and deliberately. However, it's been my experience that people generally confuse pain with suffering, and conflate the two. Pain can be measured and compared, but suffering cannot. Suffering does not result from pain so much as it results from going against the natural flow of consciousness. So when we speak of "harm" in the conventional sense, we measure it in terms of pain, but we are often really speaking of "suffering" in the subtext, or subconsciously.

When people are reacting to freakouts, they are not usually reacting to the potential danger so much as the suffering from the arising fear of that danger. The aversion to suffering is so strong, there's this spiraling effect as the fear in participants start resonating, and then compound out of control. From this perspective, judgement is a kind of immune response to toxic energies, and while it might be appropriate outside of ceremony space, it isn't necessarily helping you as a participant if you focus too much on judging others within the ceremony. This is, after all, gaining insight about yourself. A good question to be asking at that point is, "What am I learning from this experience of me judging someone else?"

To come back to your points though: what I said above comes out in groups that act responsibly, and can provide a reasonably safe place to explore dangerous aspects of life like that. They don't spike the brew. I've been with groups where there are EMT or an MD on hand. There are sufficient facilities to isolate someone going through an intense journey (which always look like freakouts). There are sober helpers to make sure people get what they need ... and keep the knives hidden away. The shamans know how to deal with the really nasty stuff that will pop up once in a while.

While the nature of medicine is such that many will experience a safe way to explore some very dangerous stuff, one of the things people explore is life, and the inherent dangers and risks of life. At some point in someone's journey, they learn by taking falls and getting back up.

What does UI/UX have to do with HackerRank? I don't think HackerRank even measures more "pragmatic" qualities of software (e.g., code organization, clarity, etc). In any case, the "busy UI" or cluttered look that is almost universal across Chinese and east Asian websites and apps is often intentional because the chaotic UX is preferred by consumers. It reflects the experience of shopping in a Chinese market. It packs lots of assuring information into the page. It has historical and technical precedent, and breaking the trend would mean "sticking out". Sleek, simple designs may even be viewed with suspicion. Another factor is that Chinese text will generally appear more chaotic to Westerners who cannot read Chinese and are accustomed to simpler Latin characters and Western typographic conventions.

"Gifted children are "gifted" with a laser focus on the unusual things that they find fun - math, music, what-have-you. They spend countless hours playing with numbers or with music, while little Johnny is playing with a ball."

If you read Ericsson's papers, he does in fact specifically deny any role to talent and genes, by name, unequivocally. It's not a strawman, it's what he really believes. Deliberate practice is also falsified by Hambrick's meta-analyses: it does not explain much of difference in performance compared to talent. They are not gifted with 'a laser focus', they are gifted with things like intelligence.
I'm sorry for your loss. Hopefully we as a society can devote more resources to minimize the occurrence of this cruel disease.
Why Japanese Web Design Is So… Different
Hello. I work for public health. My job is to support the computer systems that allow epidemiologists to track 'superbugs' (and regular ones).

Deathcerts is an interesting dataset. It's not the only one.

Even if death-by-MSRA isn't tracked, I assure you that MSRA itself is tracked.

There's a specific class of lab test called "antibiotic susceptibilities". The results report includes a bunch of numbers that represent just HOW resistant a particular bug is to a standard battery of antibiotics, broken down per antibiotic.

That data is transmitted from the labs that performed the test to the state health department where it is analyzed.

Fascinating article, but there's NO WAY that Reuters had that much contact with state public health folks without being aware that they track lab results. Misleading!

Edit: elaborated about the susceptibilities results.
Now that Certificate Transparency exists, it's possible to take two actions that are almost as serious as removing a CA from the store, but do not break existing websites:

1. Ask for a list of all issued certificates, get signed certificate timestamps (SCTs) for all of them, and require that all certs issued by the CA have working CT. This essentially prevents all further misissuance (or, at least, makes it very public).

2. If the CA is so bad at life that it doesn't know what certificates have been issued, require CT for all new certificates (trusting the self-stated signature date on the certificate), and have a sword hanging over their head if any evidence arises that the CA has backdated any certificates.

Chrome did #2 for Symantec, and then (I believe) moved to #1, and Symantec is definitely a too-big-to-fail CA.

Of course, Mozilla needs to add support for CT for this approach to work.

Some pins would be nice. I honestly don't care about gaming on an arduino, but something to quickly build a gui for an arduino project would be nice.

Preferably: a GUI to select which project to boot and a single cable for all pins to plug to an expansion board with the actual hardware project. This way you could use one arduboy for all your projects (given you need just one at a time)

It absolutely was a policy misunderstanding in 2012. It is no longer a misunderstanding, since it is now abundantly clear to CAs that they can't do that. It no longer stands.

As far as CA policy goes, 2012 was the very distant past. You might as well accuse Mozilla of poor judgment for allowing MD5 certificates in 2012, it would make as much sense.
You could also use anonimized data from people doing search/research to see where the action will be or something like it.
why does exceptional ability in one translate to sub-par in another? And why does it matter? We would all agree that a Cheetah is much better at running fast than a house-cat, but that does not take away from either animal.

as someone who runs an on-call team, and is woken up frequently still as a co-founder, if someone sprang that on you, you should quit asap, and tell them why. people need to know that on-call is a decision, not a mandate.

"How many "pioneering mathematicians" are not one-percenters? If the answer is "99%", then there's no bias in favor of those who do well on the SAT. The article doesn't give that information."

The article doesn't give that information, but unless you believe that being in the top 1% is actively harmful to becoming a pioneering mathematician, the odds ratios of they give for doctorates gives you a good idea, since no one will be a pioneering mathematician without earning a doctorate in math these days. Something like 25% of them have doctorates, compared to the general population which is more like ~1.7%, so simply going by proportion and ignoring the curves in https://my.vanderbilt.edu/smpy/files/2013/02/Ferriman_20101.... and the extreme tail behaviors of these things, at least 0.25*0.01 / 0.017 = 15% of pioneering mathematicians will have been 1%ers. (Take into account the tail, and it'll go up quite a bit.)

I turned down a job offer with Amazon, partly because of their on-call rotation. They do not have a devops team, or even a unified tech stack. Each team is responsible for the creation, deployment and maintenance of their own code. I have dealt with too much shoddy legacy code in my lifetime, there is no way I will be woken up at 3am to support it.

Many years ago, there was no devops/SRE. You had the developers and a sysadmin team if your company was big enough. The sysadmins did not know about anything at the application level, so developers were always on call. With the advent and the rise of the devops role, developers can now focus with their main task.

I used Hadoop very early on (version 0.12 perhaps?), and I removed Hadoop as a skill on my resume since I did not want to admin a cluster, just do the cool MapReduce programming. Once again, devops to the rescue.

> Gifted children are "gifted" with a laser focus on the unusual things that they find fun - math, music, what-have-you. They spend countless hours playing with numbers or with music, while little Johnny is playing with a ball.

Doesn't really match my experience of gifted children, many of which are not gifted "with a laser focus" on anything, and perform very well at things that they don't spend additional time on.

> But it boils down to the hours that kids put into their interests.

It pretty clearly does not; people don't get the same results out of putting the same hours into the same things.
It's not stateless, either, in the same way it's not serverless (that is, it's somebody else's state). There are security and other issues that are important to consider when sending traffic over a network, and I find that calling this sort of thing "serverless" or "stateless" a bit misleading.
You can validly support the genetic basis for cognitive advantage without understanding the precise functioning of the brain, because the brain is a physical structure. Being complex its unlikely a single genetic factor (nor is intelligence singular anyways) determines it. But there is a substantial amount of evidence that supports at least some genetic basis for traits that give some people a cognitive advantage over others, inline with the genetic influence for all other physical traits.

The same question could have been asked of GeoCities and one could give the same answer: most people outside the tech bubble don't know and don't want to know how to put up a website.

Yes, it's "not that hard", but it's also not as easy as filling in a bunch of text fields on LinkedIn - especially when you factor in things like SEO if you have a common name.
If "funny tasting water" upsets you, then sugary drinks-- which kill thousands of people through obesity-- should scare the daylights out of you.
