There's a good case to be made that a significant factor is the association of masculinity with violence in American culture, which explains why men commit significantly more violence than women (and also explains some of the success of violent video games). From this perspective, much of our fascination with and performance of violence is far from inevitable.
I haven't seen any proof that DD was done at all - to date, this may change - but if the scope didn't at least include a review of the core technology then it was too narrow.
I think probably apathy. Most devs I know don't drink the koolaid and just want to get paid. Maybe it's different with the people that are closer to the CEO and more affected by their day-to-day decisions.
I always suspected it might've been a US/UK contrast.

Probably the biggest management clusterfuck I've ever experience involved a manager from California trying to manage a bunch of Norwegians in Oslo like he was still in San Francisco.
Seriously, why'd he have to go there! I've had that dream since the day I was born, and now it's shattered.
> Fuck your eating disorders, why the fuck does everything has to be so extreme with you? On one end of the scale you’ve got the pizza-guzzling, office-snack hoarding monster, and on the other end you have the ‘I-must-optimize-every-living-second’ douche that only drinks fucking Soylent. Seriously, what the fuck?

And from me: also fuck your third extreme, of eating fucking hipster fruit salads all day every day, because everything has to be healthy and natural and organic and stuff. And fuck the way you force it on the industry events, so that I can't get a goddamn pizza on a programming conference because everything now has a catering company providing various kinds of weird-ass vegetarian food. I can eat healthy at home; I come to industry events for the fucking pizza.

There, I said it. I feel a little bit better.

As for the rest of the essay, it's a little heavy on the expletive side, but pretty much spot-on if you look at the media side of things. I'd say things aren't so bad in individual startups, but the overall culture - the blogosphere, the professional publications, etc. all feel like encouraging and glorifying this kind of nonsense.
>>>all-hands are quite important to remind people of the company culture and to connect individuals to the mission.

My mission is to trade my labor and experience for currency I can use to fund my life.

That is all

>All-hands aren't about corporate bullshit.

Yes it is. This entire concept of "we are a team" or worse "we are a family" is bullshit, the second it is more profitable for the company to not employ you than it is for the company to employ you, you are shown the door.
> I do have to say, that VS Code is entirely different, and the first time I played with it, I didn't realise it was using Electron.

This. I didn't like Atom's performance on my MacBook Air, but Code was running beautifully. "Finally," I thought, "a native code text editor that has all the features I want instead of some bloated Electron crap."

Oh. Oh you sweet summer child.

And the best part is it doesn't matter that I was wrong; I got what I wanted: a nice, free, performant text editor with Git integration.

It's a similar situation: macOS has kqueue.

But in this case, they are using poll as the time-honored way to sleep. Yes Apple should follow the expected POSIX behavior but at the same time if sleep is what is desired, there's usleep(3) and nanosleep(2) which are found in libc's time.h

This will be interesting. I'm sure they are, but I hope they'll be training the system on tone and sentiment alongside syntax.

Reddit can get vitriolic and rude, insightful at times too, but once the system learns the syntax hopefully they'll be able to use sentiment analysis to weigh more strongly the polite conversion that occurs.

Also interested to see how many memes this AI picks up.

I also hope they are able to follow links through to sources when a comment cites another page -- not only can this bot learn syntax but also data extraction by comparing what is said to the source material.
HiDPI is a lot better on Linux than it used to be. The biggest pain point is if you're mixing applications with different toolkits you'll need to tweak your settings in multiple locations. It's not too bad though, and there is good documentation on setting it up. It doesn't look as good as OSX (mostly because of font rendering), but better than Windows in my opinion.

That doesn't really solve your other issues though. Personally I use lastpass which works fine in Linux but I haven't used 1password enough to be able to say whether it's a valid comparison or not. Lightroom might work under Wine or in a VM if you don't use it so often that you really need it to be native.
Uncertainty about an acquisition is common, but employees simply not showing up to work is surprising. Is the environment that toxic?

Ending with Dorsey's recent all-hands email[1] seems rather empty in context, as it makes no mention of the acquisition.

Twitter needs to focus entirely on real time news, and forget giving any attention to the mounds of random garbage tweets on there. Aggregate news hashtags into something meaningful, and just be a better news source. That's it's most useful service at this point.
Totally agree. Have you ever seen the movie The Imitation Game? There's a great quote from Turing's character when he is talking about being picked on and beaten up by bullies at school - "Do you know why people like violence? It is because it feels good. Humans find violence deeply satisfying"

It's that simple, really. It is in our nature, just like sex. We like it. It feels good.

The only reason we try to eschew and condemn such violence in modern society is because it is in our best interests and more productive to society as a whole to not be like that. No other reason. If we all lived in fear and were huddled in our homes in small communities we wouldn't have even half the modern luxuries we do today. Plus, on the larger scale, if it's war you are talking about - well, they cost a lot of money/resources. So they are tough to maintain for the long haul without noticeable economic harm.

People like to say that love is stronger than anger and hate. I have always disagreed. Hate and anger run deeper than most imagine. And they motivate people like nothing else in this world, except perhaps fear.

The one and only reason people aren't butchering each other in the streets is because we have figured out a way that we can all survive. If that were to crumble, you can be damn sure society would look a lot closer to The Walking Dead or Children of Men than Star Trek.
It seems to me like the front page algorithm is a team of people, so there is no simple pattern to pick up.

HN has always had moderators who make decisions about content. That's what makes this site good.
This [lie] is what was taught in Soviet schools. That's where he (and all other Russians) got that.
Unless the all-hands involves an open bar you can stick it up your bum. There is nothing there you can't fit in an email without wasting an afternoon for the whole company... and hiring a venue, organising transport, recording & streaming etc.
NPR has a very nice article [1] on how Rwanda ended up having such a large number of women in their parliament, and the limited influence it has had on women's empowerment there.

I'm referring to your claim that he would have used a different credit card and ID as if this is obviously true. It's neither true nor obvious since he didn't realize by his own admission that the accounts were linked.
> If the news is based on facts, then the facts can speak for themselves

Photos, are not based on facts. There is no such thing as a 'neutral' photo - all photographs are editorialized. Timing, framing, composition, lighting, contrast are among the hundreds of variables that contribute to a photo. Most news organisation are well of this and they allow post-processing of photos (to different extents). I would say an unflattering photo goes well with an unflattering article.
Sure, It works with Github, Bitbucket and Gitlab
Ask HN: What do you eat/drink during the workday?
What sort of food/drink do you eat during the workday? I'm trying to find things that aren't very heavy - it's becoming too easy to run to grab fast food, so I'd like to find a better alternative (obviously bringing food).

Drinks - coffee/tea I suppose?
Your idea is and old, and dangerous one.

Many countries trying to reduce population are succeeding, even Brazil that is not developed already has 1.8 child per woman on average. The problem is that the poor remain reproducing faster always.

So how you enforce it? Pull a China and remove rights of poor people that ended with multiple kids and end with murderous parents?

Murder children yourself, Sparta style?

Force sterilize women and then give out reproduction licenses like a dystopian scifi movie?

"Education" and "career" is not a solution, by definition the elite will have always more of that, and all else equal, will reproduce slower.
Personally I'm hoping the next iteration of the Note sees a nice price drop to convince consumers to buy back in. I'd jump in at that point.

He didn't write that he believed that.

The ones that stood by and watched were us Swedes, btw. Sitting in the middle between Hitler and Stalin, you tried to do that... but it worked just for a few. (If Sweden should had joined the war, should they have fought with Norway/Denmark -- or with Finland?)

Also, being Swedish and re historical lies... A bit of a tangent: The Swedish schools didn't tell us anything about the Polish view on the "Polish deluge". And the English schools missed the part about the "harrying of the north". Is there any country in the history of civilization that acknowledged the dark parts of their history, except the Germans?

[Edit: But covering up aspects of embarrassing history is of course something different than hate mongering towards the own population over old history, to make the present government more popular. (But that is a Swede talking, we prefer that our neighboring countries don't read too much history. Not that we have anything like Holodomor to cover up. Trust us. :-) ) ]
The iPhone 7(+) has better noise cancellation that the 5S, not the other way around. As noted in the original post, a 4th microphone was added to the 6S to assist with noise cancellation. There may have been improvements in the 7(+) over the 6S, but nobody has done the review to tell us, which is my point.

For some people being heard when there is background noise is not so important. For most, it is critically important for critically important calls which happen from time to time.

To sum up: going with TDD makes it easy to take wrong design decisions.

Not that I'm surprised. Testing tends to have its usefulness highly
overestimated.
Ermanno Borra, who first speculated that periodic Extra-terrestrial signals could be detected using Fourier transform analysis on all those old piles of astronomical spectra data we have lying around, also states that "technology now available on Earth could be used to send signals having the required energy to be detected at a target located 1000 light years away"! I vote we try running that experiment for a more conclusive answer to age old conundrum: are we truly alone in the universe?

I like sharing this image with friends when talking about how safety and responsibility matter in software: http://i.imgur.com/SFHjzNg.png - A snippet from the help files for a PLC coding program. If people want to adopt calling themselves Software Engineers I say they need to uphold Engineering principles and that usually involves a lot more responsibility than I see in software communities.
You can't unit test a syscall.

But it needs to be a regression or integration test

(However I can understand people thinking "ah if you're polling nothing then it immediately returns" instead of looking at the spec)
It's also because the starry-eyed loudmouths in HR always gets to set the agenda, since the introverted engineers don't say anything. So you get chants, 'funny' party games, etc. And of course if you at any point seem like you are not 100% supportive of this you might as well have stomped on their kitten.
Do you have an automated way to do this?
> I am trying with some tutorials, and books, but not sure how successful I am being.

What tutorials and books? First off I totally get you. For several years after graduating I felt a hole in the pyramid of knowledge I felt university should have provided me. Our program leaned heavily on how to use Java and Microsoft technologies to fix problems big companies had. There was little room to stretch our foundation and dive deeper into algorithms or understanding programming without a language or framework attached to the material.

I’ve been fixing this by reading books and doing simple projects to fill in that base layer of knowledge in that pyramid. These don’t really dive into frameworks or even languages, but the basic building blocks of what we do.

Being effective with languages like Java or frameworks like the Android SDK is nice. But I know for myself and many people that feel a tinge of imposter syndrome that it’s due to lacking foundational knowledge. We either rushed through this period or skipped it entirely. But it’s this through this period where we develop on confidence with our craft.

There’s plenty of Ask HN threads on what to read to develop a good baseline of programming knowledge (SICP, Code Complete 2 and Pragmatic Programmer will be mentioned a lot). What I think is important is also to have a clear goal or reason for wanting to read a tutorial or book and only follow through on material that actually helps you accomplish your goals. Assume most tutorials and books are fluff that will not actually move the needle for you.

Ok, I want a 2 pronged approach:

1) A NoSQL DB for the main data providing replication and scalability(e.g. Cassandra or DynamoDB).

2) Another DB for quick access and transient Data where replication is not so important, e.g. storing the session cookie. Relational vs Non-relational would not be an issue since I'm only storing very little data here and want fast access and minimize costs(in DynamoDB you still have to pay per operation). Therefore I'm looking for some simple solution like ElastiCache.

This lacks content and looks a capitulation - an admission that he's lost, wholesale replacing the Jobsian persona he nurtured previously with a wholesome 'we're all friends' skit.

The end is just bizarre, as if he's being coached to "show appreciation to your closest associates to avoid more churn" and does so in the most literal, superficial way possible.

You'd ask yourself just how diverse the wildlife in an urban environment is, where the bulk of domestic cats live. Right now I'm not convinced about the ecological impact.
TL;DR: Dwarf Fortress fan learns about DNA from popular science articles, forms comprehensively superficial theory of life, the universe and everything, based on analogy to computer code and his estimation that nothing could be more complex than Dwarf Fortress.

I've never really thought a quote from an Adam Sandler movie was one to be repeated, but "Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul." Bonus: it does double duty summarizing the US presidential debates.
Yeah, I found it very application specific. MySql Workbench for example is a mess. 1/2 the app scales, the other 1/2 does not. The problem is that I don't want to have to spend time constantly tweaking DPI settings.

We use AWS Cloudwatch Logs for aggregation. For reporting we are still trying to find a solution.
Your last paragraph contradicts your overall point. To me, that reads like your friends associated it with the entire brand, not that they were unaware of the exploding phones. That's worse for Samsung.
I don't for a moment believe that Dwarf Fortress contains a true 10MB of irreducibly complex behavioural code. Rather this is simply an indication that our computer languages and compression systems are much less efficient than what nature uses for DNA.
How does that work? The bank gives you a noncollateralized loan so that you can buy a $20 million property and then they suddenly call the loan? They gave you the loan without proof of ability o pay? I have trouble believing that this is very plausible. It's so risky to both parties that I can't see why the bank would issue the loan.

I can't deny that it's technically possible. I just think it's extremely far-fetched.
True, but I think your statement speaks to the argument that the author was making. There isn't an official "contract", but there is an implicit one.

Since they DWB cannot get the vaccine on their own (buying it), donations make them beholden to the will of the donor. So if Pfizer or GSK say, "Hey, we REALLY would like these vaccines to not go to North Korea", and DWB sends vaccines to NK, then the donors can/will take that into consideration when donating the next round. That gives drug companies control over the healthcare that these organizations are providing.
I say there is a problem within your team (like that "key person" not knowing what is or isn't productive in what he does) that you are hoping to solve through seclusion. Excluding such bad quirks, assuming everyone is acting reasonably (in a tolerant frame of reference), I would say team sized spaces strike a good balance between the peer interaction accessibility and the bad effects of crowd noise.

There seems to be a general lack of interest in maintaining the underlying UNIX system well at Apple, for various reasons. It's frustrating that a large company with a lot of money is unable to handle OS projects with the seriousness and attention to detail that they deserve. Wanting to release a new version of the OS every year with some shiny new features for the end user should be balanced with stabilizing and improving things under the hood. I'm deeply disappointed that such focus on the Mac and macOS is lacking.
