It seems that there are reasonably large changes due to thinking about something, but not due to just looking unless your camera can detect 0.01 mm changes in diameter, which maybe tbihl's could be that seems unreasonable for a smartphone camera.

I would guess tbihl has never tried to get iris recognition working on a cost-constrained consumer device at a huge scale. They might not think it is so trivial then.

I am at a 13 person startup. We use Confluence, Bitbucket, Google Apps, and we also use Asana (instead of Jira). It is a nightmare... Information is spread out all over these platforms. We can't stick to only Atlassian tools because the CEO thinks they don't allow you to collaborate... We spend a lot of time looking for where information lives and debating where it should live, complete waste of time. In a smaller company this sort of behavior can be catastrophic.

* Issue visibility

You can currently see an overview of issues and MRs assigned to you (as well as your GitLab TODOs).

* Repo access

You can narrow repo access to a certain group (i.e. make it internal) see [1]

* Group-level issue boards

We have an open issue for cross-project (group-level) issue boards, see [2]

* Multiple repos per project

We discussed opting for a non-repo-centric approach to projects in [3] Check out the discussion in there, to see our reasoning for sticking with one repo per project.

* Non code projects

You can disable the repository in a project, so you can focus on just the issues, or you can have a repository with only graphics.

We use both internally. Our organization project doesn't have a repository [4], and our marketing repo has lots of design stuff [5]

It's not that they change kernel versions every month to the most recent ones anyway. It's roughly every year and if you check you'll see they're all upstream longterm versions which are supported 2-5 years.

A device is released with a specific kernel version and it doesn't get upgraded in devices lifetime even if the same device gets several Android upgrades. Native Nougat devices released in 2017 have kernel 4.4 which was released in early 2016, which is not even considered a new kernel by the upstream standards.

What do you expect the benefit everyone gains from sticking to the same kernel for 5 years? What is the point of developing a SoC in 2017 and bringing it up using Linux 2.6.32 instead of Linux 4.4? What is the benefit for Quallcomm, for Google or for users?

I think similarly with video games. However very, very few of these ever has a considerable impact on improving my wisdom or changing perspective. It would be crazy for me to subscribe to something like Humble Monthly Bundle with this realization.

Might be worth to ask yourself if you really need to subscribe to have access to this content to reach the same outcome. Or if you can replace these experiences with something else or try them à la carte.
I've had the same experience. I'm sure it's somewhat context dependent, but if the code amounts to business rules and they are not documented, which is very common, you can only reverse engineer what the system _does_ and then write tests for that.

Of course you can ask people who are more familiar but whether you end up helping or being a distraction then is an open question.

If the non-technical staff wants to use Trello, that has nothing to do with the technical staff (though it might be painful for the people caught between the two).

In my opinion, detailed time tracking is pointless. I've worked for companies that required it (only small ones required this), and it was just a painful distraction that never had any perceivable benefit. In larger companies, most people just write 8 hours a day for their project, and that's it. No need to make it any more complex than that.

And Jira is not a reporting tool. It helps you keep track of the work you need to do, and roughly estimate how much work that is, but it's not suitable for detailed reporting. And for a small startup, you don't need detailed reporting. If the boss wants to know what people are doing, he just needs to drop by at the standup meeting.

What about the opposite? What if every team department had a pool of tokens representing their services that they had to give away in a certain time period. I suppose tokens are the same thing as money but I like the shift from "Gimme, Gimme" to "Hey, I've got plenty, let me give you some." Each department would also be accountable for how many tokens they collected from other teams.

I'm not sure how you would work out how many tokens a department has to give. My hope is that there would be a way to incentivize going outside your team/department to get help.

By "interesting" you mean "failure"?

OK, so it's not automatically a disaster, but companies have attempted to do this with "virtual org" and clouds of freelancers. It only works for certain types of piecework and small organisations. For larger things it's simply impossible to write the required contracts. This is part of why the London Underground privatisation failed: contract documents were heading into the millions of words and still inadequate to describe the working relationships.
If you're unfamiliar with a framework -- whether it's Django, Rails, Express, Angular, or React -- much of the structure it imposes on your code feels tedious, over-architected, bloated, or just plain silly.

Once you've built a couple applications from scratch without using a framework, you begin to realize just how boring and error-prone things can get when you do them by hand. I want to get to the good stuff, the meat of my application, as quickly as possible. Knowing a framework inside-out lets me do just that.

Maybe the next time you're forced into using a framework, start looking at how it's put together under the hood. It's educational and a lot of fun. And you realize just how much accumulated knowledge these frameworks contain :)
"Once Japan had lost Manchuria to the Russians they gave up on a conditional surrender, they had nothing to bargain for."

Most people think that nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki was what made Japan surrender unconditionally, not the loss of Manchuria.

"But more importantly on the Eastern front, the tide had already turned before lend lease to Russia made any difference."

I'm sorry, that is simply not correct. The Lend-Lease pipeline was in full operation by early 1942, well before the tide turned at the Battle of Stalingrad in early 1943. In fact, the Germans moved on Stalingrad specifically to disrupt the Persian Corridor portion of the Lend Lease operation.

I'm wondering how widespread claiming "R&D tax credits" actually is.

To think that most companies could/would seems preposterous (how many are truly doing something worth of the monicker R&D?)

I'm seeing an ecommerce business applying for R&D credit, and that seems absurd, since

> Your company can only claim for R&D tax relief if an R&D project seeks to achieve an advance in overall knowledge or capability in a field of science or technology through the resolution of scientific or technological uncertainty - and not simply an advance in its own state of knowledge or capability.

Allow me to play devil's advocate...

Medical negligence is the third leading cause of death in the United States. We have an epidemic of "honest mistakes" like scalpels left in patients after surgeries,[0] often leading to deaths, or amputations of the wrong limb[1] leading to enormous harms to the patient. Something as innocent as 'forgetting to wash your hands' has outsized consequences in this industry, forgiving 'honest mistakes' is not a safe standard.

It's also not generally true that plaintiffs in tort cases receive exorbitant damages, this is a popular myth because there are a few outlandish examples. The most popular examples, such as the "Stella awards," are completely made up.[1][2]

States that have capped medical malpractice have seen no difference in medical costs, and it has not been found to be a significant contribution to costs in the industry.[3] Meanwhile, capping costs hurts patients - some mistakes end up costing millions in additional medical costs throughout an injured patient's life, and most importantly for getting improved care over time, it lightens incentives for billion dollar hospitals to actually correct underlying procedures that make harms more likely.

It absolutely should be dominant in a long game too. Even if it loses some of its strength at such time settings, it shouldn't lose THAT much, it was just too superhuman. The play should be interesting though; Ke Jie both had access to other strong bots in China for a long time, and could study the records of the MasterP games; maybe he tries something interesting and gets interesting responses so we all learn a bit about the nature of go (haven't watched the recording of this game yet, just woke up).

There was a computer bot championship recently (UEC cup), but AlphaGo declined to participate. FineArts won, DeepZen was second. Think there's a few other chinese bots that could be stronger than Zen but didn't participate. So the real competition didn't bother to show up really.

> Benefit of using TypeScript on both client and server is that you get to automatically share the schema of the data they're exchanging (and maybe some more code as well, like validation). For free.

How do you do this? Do you have a separate NPM package that just contains your schema/validation code? Or do you keep your backend and frontend code in the same repository?

This is an interesting article because it outlines the flaws in blockchain, especially the payload.

There are heaps of blockchain companies claiming to use blockchain to store large amounts of data. However, the ability to scale and store that seems disproportionate.

Maybe something like IPFS + a blockchain could be used, but the immutability is lost the moment its stored on a file store. The blockchain just acts as a pointer.
I think that you're not necessarily considering the side effects of (A) working 10 hour days, and (B) spending an hour on paperwork. People will often start to wonder why they work so hard if the company doesn't take their time seriously. This can negatively impact morale, and that has a real, if hidden, cost.

At some level, this is sort of the world that Ian Banks had created in the Culture series..
Maybe I'm naive, but if you remove any disincentive to do so I find that most people, on an individual level, are more than happy to lend a hand to other departments and many people rather enjoy the variety and novelty of the projects that this can entail. I don't think it needs to to be actively incentivized as much you just need to remove as many barriers as possible for doing so.

Because the core labor is boating around to process each trap every day. That's time, fuel, and bait every day. Point taken about optimizing the larger system, but the other pieces of the regulation resonate more for me. Throwing back a small lobster or a producing female offers a tangible connection to the global effort, whereas pulling up more traps for the same catch feels like doing more work just to keep busy. I'm sure there are good reasons for how it fits in the system, but that one would bug me nonetheless.
Go's difficulty comes from predicting a future game state, which is discrete and highly multiplicative. Novice players play on smaller boards. So humans are definitely going to lose to (relatively) simple discrete computation machines.

For professionals, finding usable strategies will still be a challenge, since unassisted humans are still far from solving Go or Chess. Unassisted humans have been pretty much kicked out of the top leagues, though.

For many, that is sufficient. For some, it absolutely is not and they should disable biometrics entirely. .

This is a symptom of a problem you might help to address. companies spend a fortune on recruitment and next to nothing on on-boarding. The problem is multiplied when there is a lot of technical debt or weak infrastructure, because they make onboarding harder.

Often, the people who grow up with a mess don't see the issue because they learn it a little at a time as it's being created, but bring a new person in and require that they understand it all to be successful and you have a real problem.
What value does the Ethereum protocol provide when a disagreement splits the network in two, without any recourse for either of the parties involved?

Which hard social/computer science problems are solved through a "consensus" algorithm that essentially constitutes denying the existence of those who disagree?

With Bitcoin, determining whether a fork is successful is very simple: are the tokens on its blockchain as liquid as those on the Bitcoin one? If they are, they are just as useful for transferring value as the "original" Bitcoin.

What metric would we use to determine whether an Ethereum fork is successful or not? If nothing is lost when a consensus algorithm fails to establish consensus, what value did it provide in the first place?

Market cap is an arbitrary measure because, in and of itself, it solves nothing. At any time, I can fork Ethereum with a buddy of mine, trade the resulting tokens at whichever price the original Ethers trade at, and the market cap would be the same. Or, alternatively, trade them at 1/1000 the Ether price, but change the protocol such that 1000 times as many exist.

Here's the problem I have with that line of logic: a huge number of trucking accidents are caused by non-trucking road traffic they have to share the road with.

Which is completely unregulated with anything like the same strictness.

I can only speak to the day trip side, not long-haul multi-day freight. But based on annectdotes, I would say there's (on average) at least one incident per month per driver where the truck has to be driven off the road to avoid a collision with physics-ignorant non-trucking traffic.

A friend of a friend was involved in an older lady's death after she pulled out right in front of him (as in, "even the brakes can't slow a truck down that fast" close). Of course he survived in the larger vehicle, but now he has that on his conscience.

I don't dispute that freight trucks are dangerous vehicles. But generally speaking, their drivers are far more experienced than you or I - they should be, they do it every day.
