I still don't get it. Who said that informal social rules shall never never broken? Who talked about reforming society?

I was just talking about making cultural progress. All I said is that informal rules are established (almost by definition) by reacting to those who break them. Doing so reduces the chances that these are broken again, which is just another way of saying that these informal rules are established. And if a good climate within a group is important to you (in a leading position it usually is), then you need to be part of establishing those. Otherwise you risk that your group becomes a hostile place.

The strategy I described does work, and is generally recommended, so I'm not sure what you are arguing against.

I've seen it working in various groups. If shitty behaviour is criticized as such, people become more aware and more careful. As long as the criticism itself is in an appropriate place and reflects the group's values, this is a very healthy thing to do. If the criticized person refuses to adjust their behaviour, they usually leave the group on their own, which is also healthy. In the worst case there's to way but to throw them out, but that is surprisingly seldom. Either way, these people either have to find a group that is okay with their behaviour (good luck!), or they need to change their behaviour in order to engage in groups.
Hypocrisy and Irony are very closely linked hand-in-hand, so closely in fact that the words can effectively be substituted for each other in this instance. It is hypocritical for someone to tell me to not tell someone what to do (and in fact, my 'telling someone what to do' was a suggestion, since voting is not a mandatory thing in the USA where I post from) since they are doing the same thing in effect, and it is ironic since they are effectively performing the very behavior they're wanting me to not do.

I had the last vestiges of a 'good' education, where one could use good logic to explain the usage of a word not commonly used in such a manner. I attended the 4th best independent school district in the nation at the time. That district no longer exists and hasn't in true form for over 20 years. The students are now meth and heroin addicts. My hometown has the title of heroin capital of the USA because the amount of black tar exceedingly overwhelms the COMBINED shipments (calculated) of powder and crack cocaine FOR THE NATION, and has done this consistently since it was featured on Channel One news twenty years ago.

I'm amazed at some of the comments here who seem to say "If you just ignore it, it will get better." I highlighted the ifs above because NOT everyone has the strength to overcome what they perceive as discrimination. Sure we can debate as much as we like whether the different treatment was due to discrimination or not, but let's stick to the real fact here: the treatment is perceived to be different.

When this happens sometimes, we can shrug it off - it's not exactly productive nor courteous to express outrage all the time. And absolutely, it may just be in our imagination, or someone is having a bad day! But when that different treatment happens often enough, no matter how subtle it seems, it can cause pain and affect the person's behaviour and performance.

Not everyone is delusional. Not everyone wants to get the limelight. So if someone is claiming that he/she is being discriminated, listen.
Or... since no aspect of the story is verifiable, and much of it is nonsensical in the reactions of all parties involved, it is completely fake.
> Ruined in the very first line by suggesting that JIRA is somehow a project management tool.

This level of pedantry is unwarranted, especially given that JIMRA was only mentioned in the comments. An issue tracker is a project management tool.

> imagine trying to use JIRA to project manage the the construction of a new vehicle,

Which is precisely why people don't use JIRA to manage construction. I don't see how this adds any value to whether JIRA helps manage software development projects.

> Just try and use JIRA to determine a critical path, or to track the impact on one project when a deliverable expected from another project slips, or to alert when the threshold of a slipped due date is exceeded.

I thought the idea of Agile is that you focus on the mechanics of delivery and not the expectations of delivery? This comment sounds so "enterprise IT" that I don't even know where to start with dissecting it.

You seem to have a gripe with JIRA specifically and I can't pinpoint why one would get so worked up about it.
Not OP but am in a similar position. I had a look at your website and would love to help out with developing the Android app. I'm looking for 1-2 days a week while I'm a student, is this suitable? Once I finish my exams in a few weeks I can send you my CV. Also I'm in commutable distance to your Hatton Garden offices.
This guy seems like quite the blowhard. I do, however, need to know if he also does this to men. I've had a few co-workers that just talk on and on without letting other people get a word in. They do this to everyone.
Great argument for paying people in lottery tickets!
How did we get here? History.

The original cable companies were community antenna television (CATV) providers. They would find high ground with good signal reception, or make it with antenna masts, and send an amplified signal to their subscribers. The service was relatively cheap and very desirable in areas where putting up your own antenna wasn't useful. Towns easily granted licenses to their local companies to put up wire on the telephone poles.

The first added services were satellite channel reception and local channel insertion. These cost little to add.

Then pay channels were invented - HBO among the first. In order to differentiate non-subscribers from subscribers, the cable companies came up with a clever idea: they would add a transmission to each pay channel that would interfere with the signal. Subscribers would get a notch filter that would cut out the interference.

It was easy when you only had one channel to block or allow, but handling several meant multiple filters. It was much cheaper to maintain a few sets of multiple-filter enabling devices than to customize them for every subscriber, and that's where tiers of channels originally came from.

All of these things were handled by more or less local companies, and towns and cities didn't have a problem handing them pole access. But the companies consolidated into larger franchises, 800 becoming 20 or so companies covering populations of a million or more subscribers each and 82 much smaller businesses. The top five have about 235 million people in their coverage zones. The next five cover 43 million. And the next ten have about 15.

Now, once you have wired infrastructure covering that number of people, coupled with a tradition of granting local monopoly access to the wires, you get to hire lawyers and lobbyists who convince legislatures to make your traditional de factor monopoly a de jure monopoly.

So that's how we got here.

What can we do? Mostly what we have to do is to make net neutrality and infrastructure reform a priority for our state legislators and congressional reps and senators. Talk to them about your concerns. With Republicans, concentrate on arguments about enabling small business innovation and improving the economy. With Democrats, use arguments about freedom and consumer rights. Talk to your neighbors. Nobody wants a high cable bill, and the only way to lower it is to break the monopoly.

Was going to say the same thing - the maturity is probably better suited than competency.
Thank you, I'll look deeper and see if I can solve it. It's likely an issue on my end then, I've corrected my comment.
I currently use Attic for backups going to onto my NAS, so one plus for attic/borg is familiarity. I figure that if I'm going to go with rsync.net, I'll switch to borg since it's (as you point out) better maintained.

Are you using rsync.net's "hidden" attic/borg option? This makes the price very attractive.

You mention using "attic check" to guard against bitrot on the provider's storage. How is this in terms of bandwidth used? Does it have to transfer every byte or does it compute a checksum on the encrypted data (since rsync.net doesn't have the raw data) and just send that?
Spinnaker is a part of [NetflixOSS](https://netflix.github.io/), no current intention I know of to submit it to CNCF. Spinnaker certainly does align with some of the core principles behind CNCF (e.g. containers, microservices), and our Kubernetes support is pretty strong (we'll continue aggressively improving it).

In any situation, we certainly run into member projects of CNCF with design considerations, and expect to continue working closely.
Yes, but it makes it sound ridiculous. If I am going to include all my emotional responses to an event every time I write about something it will become ridiculous and annoying at one point.

Can you not be annoyed by something without starting to shake every time? Especially if you try to interpret rudeness as sexism...

> Is it necessarily copying in a sense that is different from how a web browser acquires the resource to render it?

It's different in purpose of not mechanism, and insofar as there is an implicit license to copy in a browser for display, it is another step to establish that such a license extends to other purposes even if the mechanism is the same.

Also not that the existence and scope of implied license can be affected by the presence and terms of an explicit license, which is one reason you might want to read the T&C prior to scraping.

A old supervisor of mine told me that "You treat a new developer like a duckling near a pond with Northern Pike". There is no way you let them have access to production (or frankly, anything past a development environment) until they have been there a while and gotten the hang of it.

On a tangent, I was paranoid enough in one position to have all my production terminal windows have a red background with yellow text. That brought the proper, serious attitude towards my work.
>Options are not taxed until you exercise them. At that point they become an asset that contains "value"...

The assertion that they then contain value is the contentious point. To the IRS it is defined to have value. To me, it has no more value than the option, because there's no more market for those shares than there is for the options themselves. "Fair market value" is weird when there's no market.

Could be a bit of selection bias there.

CSB time: A while ago, I had lunch with a group of friends from university and a (male) professor we'd all had.

I thought it was pleasant, but soon after we were done with lunch, I got a text from a female friend of mine who was also there: "Prof. So-and-so is a sexist bastard, I am so mad."

I was taken aback, because I'd been sitting right next to both of them, and...what had happened that I'd noticed nothing?

Turns out the professor had ignored my friend the whole time, even though he'd spoken to everyone else there.

Does this make him sexist? He's very liberal, and I'm sure he'd take the side of the women in this thread. Maybe he just didn't remember my friend. There was another woman there he spoke to, at least some. There are a lot of "maybe"s.

But after talking to my friend, what she concluded is, she gets treated differently than the men around her all the time. Any one instance is usually something she can brush off as due to something other than sexism. But taken as a whole, the evidence of being her disproves the null hypothesis that the reason she's being treated differently isn't because of her gender.

And so I think that when you're responding to a particular instance, like this, or like my friend at lunch -- and particularly if you're a man responding to such an instance -- you should try to take a step back. It is perhaps plausible in a particular instance that what happened had nothing to do with anyone's gender. We can imagine all kinds of explanations. And it's likely that whatever happened was not the result of active malice and hatred of women or a particular woman. But that doesn't mean that sexism doesn't exist, or that this is not a datum pointing strongly in the direction of, women are treated differently than men.

So when TFA says, "the sexism is beyond blatant", understand that this is coming from her perspective, which is more valid than that of someone like me who doesn't experience discrimination on the basis of my gender (or anything else, for that matter) on a daily basis. And clearly many people in the audience shared her perspective.

If you don't share her perspective, that's OK. But I think you'd do the women in the world a big favor if you'd just...let it go. "I see it differently." OK. nbd. There's no need to be "infuriated". You will never know what it's like to be another person, so it's expected that you're going to see things differently. WAI, let's move on.

Or, if you don't want to move on, maybe spend some time considering what it might be like to be her.

Playing with malware in public is not something to be done lightly, and potentially very dangerous (to others as well as you!) in situations where your control is any less than nigh-total.

Also, the company info in the bottom 1/3 of the sidebar is pretty cheesy. Maybe that's acceptable in Windows apps, but it stands out like a sore thumb amongst Mac Apps.
Sexism is like racism. It's a pattern of behavior. It is difficult to determine that a single act is motivated by sexism unless the actor uses terminology that deliberately casts it in that light.

What benefit could Google possibly get out of making Google Maps work without JavaScript? The main takeaway I have here is that older applications are more likely to support a no-JS scenario, and I'd imagine that's because they can just fall back to older legacy code.

what a ludicrous analogy. engineering is an applied science, not a purely theoretical one where you can remove the human impact of your decisions from the equation. comments like this are a prime example of why engineers need to take more liberal arts classes

It's about perspective. One definition or opinion does not necessarily invalidate the other. Each is an expression of a point of view.

You say safety equipment. Others might say encumbrance, or unnatural performance enhancer, or laziness cheat. An apparatus that enables a lessening of difficulty, which eases the challenge.

When the goal is to engage a challenge, anything that renders the effort less challenging is a dilution of the very challenge as a whole.

Of course one must use safety equipment to examine the possibility of a raw attempt. But one builds on the experience, removing the unnecessary, wherever possible.

Of course it's easier to climb with a helmet and ropes, because those are the things that provide for obvious leverage to control the outcome. But who ever climbed a mountain because they wanted to do an easy thing?

The harder the task is, the better, in this context. The satisfaction of accomplishment is the goal, rather than the stress or all of the physiological byproducts or recognition that come as part of the package when completing the task.

Trying to do something, based on an intuition that an outcome is possible, when others lack the same intuition is the goal here.

This is not the same as fame. Fame is a derivative of the behavior of others, as outsiders to the activity.

To trust in one's intuition, and find that it is correct, is a fundamental aspect of human existence.

To divorce oneself of maximizing challenge, is to lie in bed all day as a shut in, and have your food delivered to you, in the most exaggerated sense of the comparison.

Bill Gross Says Market Risk Is Highest Since Pre-2008 Crisis
The new investor is willing to pay $100M for 25% of the company. That means they think the company will be worth $400M after they invest $100M. That means the current value of the company is ~$300M, not ~$400M.
"Few tech companies manage projects well." - That's because your comparing it to traditional style project management. It rarely works well in software.

If this style of project management worked, then companies that used it would be at the top. But they aren't.

The only companies that seem to use it are government projects, or corporations where software isn't their main concern. In my experience software output by these organisation is basically awful.

They don't get software development is more of discovery and learning process, where you become increasing better at serving your customers as you learn more. It's not a gather requirements, implement then finished thing.
Yes, it's called "tree shaking"[1], modern Angular apps can be cut down to a around 50-100k (assuming nothing heavy feature set). Find build tools that can do it, like Webpack or Rollup.

> An issue tracker is a project management tool.

Issue tracking is a very small subset of project management. It's true that an issue tracker is a “project management tool” in the sense that it is a tool for some aspect of a project. It's not a “project management tool” in the more comprehensive sense that that term is often, but not always used.
> While that's true it's not reasonable to assume the user has JS enabled. Ad-blocking plugins that also block JS are increasingly common.

What percentage of users do you think block JavaScript? I'd be utterly shocked if it were more than one or two percent.

Cafe du Monde is the brand of New Orleans coffee with chicory that you're most likely to see--though there are others. Note that chicory tends to be bitter though. That's one of the reasons (the other being French influence) that cafe au lait was a thing in New Orleans before Starbucks even existed.

These are all just standard ground coffee in cans as well, so I doubt it's great coffee compared to beans you can get these days.
Makes sense, thank you for responding.

Ask HN: Favorite note taking/wiki software?
I was looking into org-mode, but it seems to be a bit overkill for my needs at this point.

I've read a lot of comments and threads here on HN, but I couldn't find ones newer than 5 months on some of the software I was considering.

I want something I can use easily for university (Research papers/essays/ rich notes), and creative writing projects(I may pick up scrivener eventually)

I am particularly interested in Treesheets & Tiddlywiki. OneNote is nice, especially for annotation/drawing but Microsoft is kind of creepy. I could encrypt, but I also prefer open source.

Has anyone tried those all/others and have a favorite to recommend? I will probably write most of my notes for school on paper then transfer them, but for big projects, I prefer something more useful than like Microsoft word.

Thank you!!
Agreed. I wouldn't feel bad if your <5 person dev team is not following half the things on those lists. It's not practical at all.
