A Mobile App to let kiwi women win against Breast Cancer
Apps that help us detect diseases are always beneficial. And when it is a mobile application that is helping you win against the battle of breast cancer, it is obviously amazing. A new app has been launched for kiwi women to detect their breast cancer issues.
I'm in a small team. I am the lone coder and I report directly to the CEO. I asked to do a standup because it's imperative for me to gain focus on tasks and frame my work. We used to have weekly status meetings but that was too infrequent. Instead of a weekly half-hour we now do 2-5 minutes of me standing in his doorway running through the "Yesterday I worked on [tasklist]. I am [not] stuck. I [don't] have resources for my tasks. Today I commit to work on [tasklist]."

Standup for me is making me accountable.
I'm British and I think that swearing enriches language when used judiciously.

Also - expressing emotion and anger is valuable when the situation calls for it. Personally I would have considered something stronger than 'turd' in this case.

So what?

Plenty of new companies are capable of producing food in similar or greater volumes than Soylent is without any recalls, why has Soylent had more than one recall?

Soylent aren't even doing the production; they're sub-contracting it out to existing companies.

I'm not the OP.

The comment above responded to the OP by treating his/her question as trivial and followed it with a snarky "P.S. It's called ’statistics’." remark.

P.S. @qubex Some people don't have degrees and would actually like to work in data science regardless. The OP is asking about the practicality of that scenario.
"we're just more comfortable with the relatively common and direct mapping of the C runtime"

That's a funny way to put it. It's more like the difference between getting results or abandoning the thing altogether due to exploding cost of required effort.

I never liked the way Amazon has been opening up its platform to thirdparty sellers and used goods. If I was fine with a wild west ecommerce experience and used goods for a better deal (and in some cases I am), I'd use eBay.
When shopping with Amazon I expect to find nothing but quality products from solid to remarkable brands for a reasonable price. More important than the lowest price is the certainty that I'll receive the product the next day with Prime.

The necessity to filter results based on who's selling them and which shipping options they offer has no place on Amazon.

> but actual medically-approved food replacements are at a big price premium, because their use is so niche

No, they're expensive because no food manufacturer wants to kill the customers, and these customers tend to be at significantly increased risk of death.

Medical sole-source of nutrition products can be given through a naso-gastric tube, but many of them are designed to be drunk. Manufacturers have increased the range of flavours because they recognised that people hated the vanilla / chocolate / banana / strawberry limited range.

I wonder if there would be any interest(or even feasibility) in implementing a REST api data explorer that wraps the REST Api into a GraphQL endpoint so you can have similar discoverability without having to rewrite your entire back end.

I disagree with the premise that self-organization can only work when people are motivated by money. I believe that money is only a component of motivation, and sometimes a negative one. Intrinsic motivations like mastery and a job well done are much more effective in my opinion.

You should check out the book "Reinventing Organizations" which is a case study of 12 successful self-organizing companies and how they do it.

Also I'd like to hear your feedback to my post that shows how my team has accomplished it for over a decade and counting.

Last year, though, a team of Israeli scientists put together a stronger case. The researchers concluded from studies of mice that ingesting artificial sweeteners might lead to—of all things—obesity and related ailments such as diabetes. This study was not the first to note this link in animals, but it was the first to find evidence of a plausible cause: the sweeteners appear to change the population of intestinal bacteria that direct metabolism, the conversion of food to energy or stored fuel. And this result suggests the connection might also exist in humans.

More sophisticated is not a great way to suggest something ks better. That said, I could image this probably does give better performance if you have a lot of I/O with files in the package.
Awfully vague/FUDdy criticisms there:

- dynamic require()'s can't be tree-shaken: same is true of other langs, e.g. Python. Perfectly understandable IMO as Node was designed for the server, in a time tree-shaking (largely desirable for front-end code) wasn't a priority. Also it is a standard (CommonJS).

- long pathnames is a Windows only issue and afaik fixed by npm 3's "flattening".

- npm is worse than Maven because 'npm publish' is too easy?

- you don't need to run dedupe.

- you say npm isn't curated but I'm not aware those other registries are curated either?

- 'left-pad is a perfect example of why npm sucks' ... except the ability to delete packages has been fixed, so should that be 'sucked'?

Are your developers children who won't work together unless they are micromanaged by a lead?

I meet with my manager once per month to ensure our goals are aligned. We tend to spend 1-2 full days together so we can "go deep".

In contrast I work with other developers almost every day.

It depends a lot on the age of the kids of course, but as @jaakk said, play. It's hard to get kids to be interested in something if you're just sitting them down and trying to explain it to them. Get hands on. For the purpose of this answer I'm going to assume you mean "design" in the general sense of the word, not just web design.

Show them how design is responsible for every day things that they're already using. Take them to an industrial design museum, perhaps a conference that focuses on 3D printing so they can see with their own eyes how everyday things are created from scratch. Next time you drive past a stop sign, ask them why they think it's red - that alone opens up doors to discussions about everything from psychology to evolution.
> Buy why not Soylent? Why is it so offensive compared to not eating at all or eating Taco Bell or a few granola bars?

When Soylent launched they made several misleading, unethical, medical, claims.

They've since dropped every single one of those.

Soylent have had a number of product recalls. They don't have a huge volume of product, and they've only been in business for a short time, so it's a bit worrying that they haven't fixed their problems.

Some people think that when you're raising money from the public you should be honest. Some people think that when you're providing a safety critical product you should be competent.

There's also an element of backlash against the massive hype / very successful marketing - we see this with any product.
> We've been working with distros on packaging stuff; it's mostly sorted. Each distro is doing the thing that works for them.

Have you worked with openSUSE, since as far as I know devel:languages:rust is still in the state of "we aren't sure how to deal with these problems". In particular, there aren't any rust rpm macros in openSUSE yet, so there doesn't appear to be a clear way to create an rpm for a particular Rust project.

I've written several things in Rust that I would love to package for our distribution, but I just don't know how we are meant to do it without depending on a network connection to download dependencies out-of-band (outside of rpms dependency system).

> Additionally, making sure we play well with other build systems is a big goal this year generally.

Yeah, that's the big problem at the moment. OBS provides huge benefits (rebuilds when dependencies change, tracking of security bugs and fixes) but it also has reasonable restrictions like not being able to connect to the internet.

Having a better story in this respect _really would_ help Rust in its adoption in distributions.
Yeah, we are using Trello to coordinate our tasks/stories, and have been quite happy with it.
Has there ever been a "big one" that caused you to stop using a product on ethical grounds?
Not only that, but Docker's "containers are cheap" mentality also means that there are more calls being made in the first place, and those are being made less efficiently.

> The problem is you feel like you need to justify working on one thing for two days:

The problem is that the Agile industry caters to the fast world of write-only web site and app producers where the most complex thing is usually the decision whether a IAP purchase should be 0.49 USD or 0.99 USD.

The fact that there might exist some actual real-world problems that map to features that take weeks to month to implement and are not trivially decomposable is completely foreign to them.

Isn't Oauth delegating your authentication to a third party, and which is generally regarded as a good idea?
It's more than a loss of time - there's also the context switch and attendant energy expenditure to restore the "head space" after escaping the meeting.

If the discussion can add more value than those costs, then go for it.
> 1. Sending emails is not very secure

Agreed. This is a stopgap measure until there is some agreed-upon standard for 2FA that doesn't involve email or text messages.

> 2. Delegating your authentication to a 3rd party is probably not a very good idea

Again, agree. This is of course assuming that everyone has an email provider of the gmail kind that they are both comfortable with trusting with everything and that it will always be available. That's a pretty bold assumption - but I think it's a pretty common one.

> 3. You still need to use a password somewhere e.g. accessing your emails, it can't be mitigated all the way down

It delegates the problem to a place you can trust, where you use a 2FA app or even a physical key, or at worst, a huge password of the kind you can remember ONE of, but not one per service.

> 4. Increasing the importance of social media accounts / email and allowing walled gardens to act as gatekeepers to services is annoying at best and very harmful at worst if you are concerned about your data

Yes, I realize the irony in trading the security of my data in 100 sites for storing it at google. It's a tradeoff I'm willing to do however, lacking some better solution (such as sites actually switching to using some standardized authentication method with physical tokens or similar).
> Sometimes one is just stuck for couple of days with bloated and partially obsolete Java setup

That's the whole point of the standup. If I was stuck with something like some "Java setup", whatever that is, I'd let others know. Maybe someone will pipe up and say, "Oh yeah, I've seen that before, just do x", or "Let's get together after the standup and try to figure it out together."
I think in comparison to F2P type mechanics a subscription service that pays developers per minute of play is great. It's the same focus on retention without the requirement to try to have the player spend on a regular basis.
There is no nobility in being reserved anymore.

If he comes from anywhere other than the EU (and even then, depends where), Italy, or even Sicily in particular, is much safer regarding murder rates. Italy is super safe. If you or him wants more details, numbers etc ... They're all readily available, but even a quick glance at these two maps tells the story:

World by country level: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Map_of_w...
(Yes, Italy is safer than Canada or Australia)

Europe by regional level:
https://ourworldindata.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/europe...

So yes, even in the few parts of Italy that aren't scoring perfect, the murder rate is as dangerous as visiting the french south east coast, or visiting Scotland, or even north Germany. Not exactly hell of earth.
I'm not sure where you get the impression HFT firms only focus on speed. They focus both on being smarter (having better signals) and being faster; it's only very niche HFT firms which rely entirely on speed as their edge.

Also, what's your goal here? It doesn't sound like it'll necessarily impact the profits of the HFT industry as a whole if you do this, merely lower the cost, so on net making the average HFT firm richer.

As a european I wasn't familiar with Jet.com, but color me impressed - this looks and feels like a way better shopping experience than Amazon's cluttered layout and varying seller quality. If the execution, including fast shipping and great customer support, is at Amazon-level, I'd definitely prefer shopping at jet.

Graduates are just better.

They go through a hardcore selection and intensive training for 3-5 years in the field. It's jackpot if he has an internship related to the job.

Start early: make art supplies and art toys easily available.

Talk about it - talk about how it's easy to use this app because the designers made it easy to use, or it's hard to use this app because the designers made it hard to use. When reading books talk about the images and the fonts. (For example, Sam and Dave Dig A Hole has lovely drawings, large print, and a clean simple font with high contrast. Farther has a weird font in a low contrast.)

Involve them in decisions about decoration and room layout. Introduce simple design and art concepts early, and help them spot patterns. "Colour wheels" are simple enough, so you could buy a bunch of paint and do some potato printing with complementary colours, and clashing colours.

Plain wrong. To compare company sizes:

Google is ~5% of Saudi Aramco.
Sometimes that's the right answer, sometimes it's better to just hit your head against it for a while.

(This can be an individual thing, I'm definitely a learn-by-doing type and need to be "spinning my wheels" sometimes. Others benefit from talking things through).

It would be nice to be trusted to make this call rather than having a ritual to force the talk-things-through option every time.
It's good to have an explicit statement that the spirit of the law is important, and that if you're trying to language-lawyer your way around a code of conduct, you're missing the point.

But that doesn't mean there's no value in having clearly laid-out principles, and in particular, clear descriptions of proscribed behavior and protected groups. Because in the absence of that, the same kind of people who would language-lawyer in the presence of a code of conduct will try to slickly excuse their behavior as acceptable in the absence of one.

Some of the most insidious people around will be superficially nice to someone's face (some of the time), while taking the time in a policy process to calmly and politely inquire if it would be reasonable to treat people like them as subhuman, with ever so much justification and honeyed words. Head it off in advance, set a line for what you expect, and don't assume that "be nice to each other" will make everyone feel safe and welcome.
Brainology – IQ Test – Brain Blogger
We (the developers) took control over our standups. We went back to basics and talked about _why_ are we doing kanban boards standups, and found two reasons.

1) We do need better awareness of what others around us are doing, especially across the dev/ops divide.
2) Communication, kanban is there to show interested non-devs how projects are progressing.

We update the kanban before the meeting and let one person per day read through the entire board for today/ongoing/blocked. If there are any tasks that person doesn't understand – this is the time to ask.

The process takes often less than 10 mins per day.

Any issues raised will be discussed in loosely formed groups afterwards to not waste everyone's time.

I think what I learned is that you mustn't let process be shoved on you by middle management. Take control to make these things productive for you.

yes! thank you so much. Needed this badly.
The title here matches neither the title nor content of the article. The article says:

"Most US homes have ... no landline"

Quoting from the article:

"Of the households surveyed ...
50.8% of homes had ... no landline."

The title here on HN says:

"Less than half of US households
do not have a landline"

If less than half do not have a landline, then more than half do have a landline. If more than half do have a landline, then that's most of them.

The title here has too many negatives.

Nope.
Yes. Exactly. 99% of the standup is allowing people to help each other and dynamically set their agenda for the day. If it's a status report or just a bunch of people trying to make up cool-sounding stuff they did? You're doing it wrong.

Thanks one and all for the responses to my comment, which was written in some haste but seems to have generated useful discussion nonetheless.

Just responding to this one, I would say that it really depends. If your task is implementing analytics and no one else on the team has anything much to do with it, then maybe it's best not to trouble them with the specifics. Your summary is much better, and only a few extra words, but if no one really cares about the analytics except to know that it's cheerfully in progress, maybe it's not all that necessary to go into more detail. This is definitely something you need to be wary of in a multi-disciplinary team.

Also, I didn't mean "Anyone can come over and ask me about analytics if they like!" to sound defensive - it was actually more tongue-in-cheek! Here's another attempt: "I can't imagine why you would want to bore yourself with my analytics implementation, but please come over and ask me about it if you're having trouble sleeping at night." (I will freely admit that I am a confident person and would have no trouble saying something like that in front of a dozen people.)
Some Notes on Haskell Pedagogy
" That means you're very likely to be working with an out-of-date model of the problem you're trying to solve."

This is highly context sensitive. The models I deal with when I develop software change very seldom, if ever.

Different projects have different cadences for inputs and outputs, even within this wide domain we call "software engineering".
I give much higher odds for a crash in the value of data vs the value of oil. Oil has fluctuated tens of percents, but data swings from "valued at hundreds of millions" to "nobody wants to buy it". For a recent example, see closing sale of Yik Yak.
