We were locked into an Atlassian stack when they discontinued Bamboo and Pipelines wasn't ready for production (nor a good fit for us).

We ended up going with a service called Buildkite, which is almost a drop-in replacement. They even had docs specifically about migrating from Bamboo, and in general their documentation has been excellent.

We really like having full control over the test execution environment despite not being ready to start using Docker, and we've been pretty happy with the service itself as well as the tech support we've received. I might choose something else for a different company, but this is a very good fit for us.
Sorry I deleted the original comment, remembered wrong facts.
I guess I'm not the only one who's noticed the steady stream of "Do x with google" on the frontpage. This is what's unsettling me, they seem to want to seep into every last crack of our lives, starting with all things web.

Edit: At least it felt like a slow stream to me. Search isn't being very cooperative towards my cause right now... The only item matching my memory is https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13013494 , but I'll be damned if there weren't others.

Your manager isn't a god. (S)he's just your boss.

Tell them that you check email once an hour (or whatever interval you prefer) and respond to everything in batches. You find that allows you to better focus on your core work and that you're overall more productive that way. If (s)he asks you to change your routine just say no.

Try it. It's very empowering.
False.

Most companies provide guidance. They under perform if they do worse than guidance.

Alphabet on the other hand does not provide guidance. And frankly it's quite silly to call 20+% growth a miss.
You can already call whichever APIs you like from a Raspberry Pi. This announcement must be about doing something new on the Raspberry Pi (for instance, compiling TensorFlow to ARM if that isn't already supported). Perhaps the use-case is a fleet of Raspberry Pis?
This belief is accurate. Men and women have similar IQ means, but men have greater variance. This difference implies that there are more low-IQ men than there are low-IQ women, and also that there are more high-IQ men than high-IQ women.

Denying reality, even with the best of intentions, ultimately does everyone a disservice. We should of course encourage intelligent and driven women to succeed. We can do that while acknowledging that, yes, brilliance is more common in men.
You're confusing ripping with encoding.

Ripping from DVD and Blu-rays is a lossless process involving the removal of DRM.

Encoding is where the space-saving magic happens, and where settings, and more importantly, bitrate, can lead to varying levels of quality.

Do what I do. Just accept it, let them fly you in, enjoy a day of a nice hotel and some interviews. I'm not particularly serious about accepting, but they don't seem serious about listening to me so, hell, I just gave up and enjoy the ride.

Make sure you keep your receipts and bill them, though. Eat out at a nice restaurant!

And if you flub the interviews, who cares. It's great practice.

I do keep a journal.
I do find it useful, it is some reflection and my to do list.
I looked online at bullet journal, and I purchased a nice one called Self Journal. I just couldnt get with those, but they all have nice features.

so what I do is this. Date at the top, I write out what I am greatful for in as many lines as I need, typically 2 or 3. I put down a big goal, and I put out my tasks for the day and mark them off as i go.

It serves as a scratch pad, its not holy, I rip pages out, or whatever.

Hey, I tried to do this! I was CTO of a little student startup called A2B Bikeshare for a while. We called it "stationless" though :)

We got a prototype working with a custom Android device with touch, 3g, GPS, and built in credit card swiper in Lansing MI, but ultimately we b it off more than we could chew. The team collapsed in mid 2015, and the company was just recently completely shuttered. It's validating to see a more skilled team put together a solid product, but damn it would have been fun to be that team haha.

Best of luck!
Editorializing:

Paid clicks on Google properties +43% - "yaaay we're driving more paid search!"

Cost-per-click on Google properties -16% - "ouch our advertisers are seeing less value on these add'l clicks!"

To me the second part of this is going to be most interesting to watch - if the clicks they are onboarding are lower quality, this is going to be a net negative.

Well, personally I think that most of us adjudicate too little value to TLDs. The point of DNS is to be hierarchical instead of one flat space, so imho all legacy TLDs should have been immediately deprecated the day ccTLDs were introduced, and countries should have been endorsed to maintain second level hierarchy (somewhat like .uk had for some time).

But of course that train left the station 30 years ago... in the current landscape I don't mind gTLDs any more than the general mess that is current DNS "hierarchy".

More likely, I think, is that it contradicts the feminist narrative that every gender disparity that disadvantages women is the fault of the patriarchy and every gender disparity that favors women is evidence of inherent female virtue.
Ask HN: How do I get myself on track with studying?
Perhaps this isn't the best place to ask this question, but I'm not sure where else to turn.

I'm a first year undergrand Electrical Engineering and Computing student in a top-20 university in the UK. My first term has passed and mock exams show that I am barely passing what I have been taught so far, if even that.

I think the reason is that I simply do not put hours in. But I find it hard to make the mental connect between "hours" and "success". I find it hard to motivate myself. Usually I just want to work on hobby projects (related more to programming than my course) or gaming.

Perhaps one of the reasons is beacuse I initially applied to do Compsci, but I didn't make the cut, so I was offered E&CE instead, which I accepted.

My main issue is that there isn't much indication as to what I ought to be doing. At school I was given homework and textbooks, past papers etc. and I could work my way through them. Now I don't really know what I'm supposed to be doing, and beacuse it's not prescribed (and not checked) I'm left in the dark. The university is very sparse of past papers, too.

So I would like to ask,

1. What methods do you use to motivate yourself to study?

2. What methods to organise study and discover what needs to be studied?

3. What does studying for this topic, which is part knowledge (memorisation of certain facts, like the factors of an ideal op-amp, what a prime implicant is, how p-type and n-type works, semiconductor physics, finite state machines etc.) and part applied mathematics (integration, solving circuits, bode plots and all the usual Calc stuff etc.)?

And if anyone has experience with Electronic Engineering at university undergrad level, what would you recommend for this field of study? Both in terms of mathematics, analogue electronics and digital?

Thank you.

Ever wondered about the toolset of pirate movie groups?

Typically it involves demuxing the source with eac3to, decoding and indexing the video stream for avisynth (often with ffms2 for Blurays), filtering (such as resizing with a spline kernel, debanding, fixing dirty lines, fixing double range compression, correcting aliasing, removing edge enhancement artifacts, deinterlace/ivtc for DVDs etc.), followed by piping it out through avs2yuv to the x264 encoder. x264 parameters are often hand-tuned over a series of short test encodes at a fixed bitrate. Audio streams are left as is, stripped to the core (DTS-HD MA -> DTS) or transcoded to AC3 (Sony Soundforge), DTS (DTS-HD Master Audio Suite), AAC (qaac/fdkaac) or FLAC. Bitmap subtitles are ripped to text .srt files with subextractor/suprip/SubtitleEdit/ and spell-checked. Finally everything is muxed back together with mkvmerge.

Of course, for what it's worth, I wrote my response with those factors (subsidies, no such thing as actual "free trade") in mind.

However, the USA's role in food security for countries that rely on globalist trade structures cannot be overstated -- for the example of China, in the absence of very significant new trade agreements, the US could demand higher prices for its food exports, as their alternative would be reverting to far less profitable industries.
My chosen subject was physics. It's quite common to find that physics undergrads actually want to know physics; that it's not simply a planned stepping stone to some future job. I followed up with a masters in it, and several years later did another masters, in maths, at my own expense in evenings and weekends, with the same motivation; I had been doing some mathematics, and was annoyed at how bad I was at it, and decided a masters in maths would sharpen that right up.

People like me exist. We are real. We exist in the blind spots of your world, taking genuine interest in things. Learning for no other reason than that we simply want to know more. To understand more. To have a fluidity with more knowledge, more understanding. You just haven't noticed. We don't have a manifesto or a webpage because we've got more interesting things to do.

My favorites are the ones that reference my joke GitHub projects (like evil.css https://github.com/tlrobinson/evil.css/
) as if they're the pinnacle of my achievements (I have actually worked on notable open source projects, but they're not hosted under my personal GitHub account...)

Facebook:

I came across your Github profile and I noticed your long-stack-traces and evil.css projects have been gaining quite some traction on Github.

Fitbit:

P.S. Cool to see long-stack-traces and evil-css getting some love!

unnnamed venture-funded startup:

I found your profile on Github and I like all the work you've done with JavaScript and node (and especially evil.css)

This one actually seemed genuine:

Oh man, I remember evil.css. A guy I used to work with set it as my Safari user stylesheet, then forgot about it. I don't use Safari all the time, so it took me a while to realize something was wrong, and even longer for that guy to remember what he'd done to my machine. So uh... thanks for that. :P
At a big company different people have different experiences. Your manager and work group make a big difference.

I'm sure you can find somebody for whom working at Amazon is a living hell, and I am sure you can find somebody as happy as a clam.

As for the people I know there overall I have a positive impression but a lot of that comes from practicing vendor management (where it helps to have a PMA) An old Oracle DBA taught me the power of getting what you pay for from vendors thus I've invested a lot in getting good at getting service from AWS.
And yet in after-market trading the stock is down some 3%. I do think though it'd be cheaper for Google to find a way to diversify away from ads now that it's likely having more competition from the likes of Facebook and Snapchat but I'm no MBA nor an analyst so what do I know.

I'd add that there are a lot of shops that run on cheap intern labor. One of the tells is if nobody ever transitions from intern to full time work.
The reason they do it is because it works.
Handbrake settings are hard. A few years ago I did a project that involved finding the appropriate settings to use[1]; it took me several weeks to go through all of the settings, look them up, figure out what they did, and test them to see what the correct value was. Some of the settings are (or were) really poorly documented--for example, why wouldn't you want iPod 5G support? Well, apparently it "breaks compatibility with certain players," though I couldn't find any data on which players would break.

I didn't say I don't have a job. I said I don't want one. It turns out that I don't want to be living rough on the streets to a greater degree than I don't want a job.

Would be interesting seeing the effects of microdosing psychedelics for chess. In theory, it should improve problem-solving skills. While the effects of stimulants seem rather expected in this situation, I think seeing information on microcodes of LSD or psilocybin would be very interesting because they could change performance in different ways.

AOL is dead, long live AOL!/s

For serious though, there's not really any lock-in here (yet). You could replace everything from the certificate through the public DNS with GoDaddy and things would work just fine. I don't really see Google moving to close the web parts of this.
> On the other hand, if your experiment is expecting one correlation, and instead you find another... then the p-value hunting was the correct move...?

at best you'd have to make corrections to your p values to account for the fact you're conducting multiple tests. those corrections weaken the results. (i did not check this paper to see if they did the corrections.)
> DIY looks messy from the outside. But once the ball is rolling, anywhere a vendor won't support the features I require, I'll support them myself. The ability to do so makes it all worth it.

Pretty sure the messy part isn't about writing code, it's about maintaining it. What happens if one of the APIs you're talking to changes? What happens if you want to add a new device into your ecosystem? If there's a power outage and one of your hubs doesn't come back up, how much time/energy does it take to figure out which one and to bring it back up?

Not saying that it's not a worthwhile project, just that it takes a lot of effort. That said, I have my own growing list of bots that helps me automate repetitive tasks in my life that I maintain...
So you want a way for your customers to easily see and manage their licenses, and to be able to easily purchase additional licenses? Do you machine-lock licenses for your app, or are they allowed to float between machines?

I think Thoughtbot did something like this with 'FOMObot' - analysing whether you're likely to be interested in current conversation in a channel, rather than always being altered to the channel's activity.

The Theanine effect is quite immediate and pretty noticeable.

But, if someone weren't anxious before or noticed enough that they have unwanted thoughts, I could see how the effects may not be apparent.

Caffeine usually has my heart racing. Even breathing slowly doesn't bring my pulse down. Within 20 minutes of ingesting Theanine, my pulse feels normal. My mind is no longer panicky.
That's exactly the use case we're going after. Docks work if you happen to near them, and most people aren't within a convenient distance from them. We aim to place everyone within minutes of one of our bikes at any point in time, so you wouldn't have to think about commuting between docks.

Seems reversed to me too. Literally, "upstream" is water coming from uphill, flowing to you, and then going "downstream" to some other destination.

If the river is data, then stuff you depend on is upstream from you, and things that depend on you are downstream.
Except in America, people do shop around for religions. Something like half of people convert from one religion to another in their lifetime here [0]. It's also not uncommon for conservative politicians to adopt a more evangelical form of Christianity as a gesture to constituents. Someone as obviously atheistic as Trump even put on a meager show of doing this during the campaign.

And please don't conflate the basic humanity of LGBTQ people with the ideologies of people who consistently try to rob it from them. I grew up in a conservative Christian part of the Midwest and was routinely beaten and threatened by your run of the mill Christians for "seeming gay." What they did to actual gay people was even worse.

Of course people use religion to justify their prejudices - there's almost no reading of human history that would suggest otherwise. You can toss around some No True Scottsman nonsense about how that doesn't reflect the true values of Christianity, but until mainstream American Christianity walks away from all its hypocrisy and monstrosity, it's a distinction without a difference.

I ordered caffeine malaete, which is just caffeine bound to malic acid, in an attempt to cut out some of the stomach unpleasantness.

I had heard it was a little more gentle on the stomach and figured it was worth a shot, as caffeine is cheap anyway.

it actually worked as promised, it doesn't bother my stomach as much as a caffeine tablet or regular caffeine powder.

I usually mix it 1:2 with L-Theanine and cap it just like I would with regular caffeine and it gets the job done.

less jitters, less feeling like I'm going to die if I haven't eaten, less stomach unpleasantness. etc.
It's actually quite common, another example is Amazon who operates its own root for its SSL certificate needs. Additionally, there is minimal risk profile differences to an unconstrained subordinate CA (like GIAG2 or the equivalent Microsoft subordinate) and a root. One could argue the risk is in fact reduced for a large issuer to be independent because of fewer entities can negativly impact operations.
