JIRA is an issue tracker

JIRA Agile is Agile Project Management

Then there is JIRA Portfolio for multiple projects.

Software development projects often use vastly different tools for project management then bridge building.

I find critical paths at a project level fairy useless when using agile style methods. Since user story priorities can change fairy quickly based on feedback.

But can be useful at the portfolio level.

Creating a Functional Virtual Private Cloud Using CloudFormation
Exactly, this ignores where options are awarded for performance.
Two reasons:

* existential: questioning the zeitgeist is taboo, especially with the amount of momentum the web has

* personal: it implicitly devalues the skills some are investing large amounts of time

However, once a new platform emerges (and one will), devs will have to deal with both of these issues anyway, so they might as well start.
You are wrong. IPRs are much quicker and less expensive that district court litigation, which is what it replaces. If you're afraid of Big. Co.'s deep pockets, they're much scarier in district court! The PTAB is designed to be more efficient, quicker, and cheaper than district court, and it is by a long shot. And no, they can't file serial IPRs for the most part, there is strong estoppel that comes with an IPR proceeding to prevent just that very thing from happening. So if your patent is valid, then in less than a year and about $200k you can have that sucker gold plated and anointed by the PTAB and then enforce it to your hearts delight! Much better than several million $ and at least 2-3 years for a district court if you ask me. And if your patent is garbage, well you'll find that out quicker too and free up resources to go do something else.

I was thinking more about the local cost of living than the unemployment rate. I suspect teenagers can get $15/hr jobs in counties near NYC, too.

They can't get that much in places like Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Birmingham, or Memphis, though.
the i7 can keep that performance indefinitely though. Can the SoC do the same thing (i.e. not trigger thermal throttling) without active cooling and on battery power?

Honest question btw, I have no idea how the Apple cpu behaves in this scenario.

Selective Ignorance
Sexism is not a binary thing... There can be small degrees of deep-rooted sexism that are present in situations like the OP, which are mixed together with general rudeness and perhaps some over excitedness.

In this case, calling the host "sexist" might even be a little unfair, as he his behavior might be closer to an actual social norm that contains some less extreme aspects of sexism. Instead, we might describe the event as a minor example of structural sexism in today's culture/society, without needing to label the host as a "sexist".

Most importantly, we should realize that descriptions of events like this are very complex, subtle, immensely context dependent, time sensitive, and difficult. It is a moment in time, caught between decades of cultural shift and new ways of looking at things. It's not surprising people have different takes, and that you can't really call any specific interpretation perfectly correct. We are pushing up against current limits in our ability to understand and discuss certain visceral, important parts of the human experience.

I don't think that trying to box things like this into one extreme or the other is helpful.
Glad to see more folks discussing this. I'm sure it's reassuring to the new developer that this wasn't their fault.

It's still amazing how badly that company is being managed from a technical perspective.
'Do you ever avoid reading a book because you don't want it to pollute your thinking? Have a new idea and don't want to read the "best in the industry" perspective, but want to read the basics to nurture your own seedling of an opinion without it getting obscured by better polished and refined thinkers?

I've been learning about climate change for the past year. There are already so many "big" opinions and "big" writers on climate change. Everyone "knows" what climate change is, how could I possibly have something different to say? There are times when I wonder if reading everything that's out there is really the best path. My brain is soft and I risk parroting others ideas and squelching my own voice. So I try to stick to the basics. My friend Dan Walsh suggests reading more tangential books. For example, if you're interested in carbon markets, read a book about hedge funds and Wall Street, but NOT the book by an expert in carbon markets or the book with "Carbon Markets" in the title.'
Can you describe that in a bit more detail? Links? I'd love something like that.
Using HE tunnels isn't all roses; Netflix treats them as a VPN and blocks streaming access (on the plus side Roku boxes don't do IPv6, so you don't have to figure out how to block Netflix IPv6 if you watch on a Roku), and some of the ATT CPE equipment blocks IPv6 tunnels (probably unintentionally, some of their CPE equipment is pretty stupidly implemented)

I think it might have been something by William Gibson? I believe she had to cut through the seatbelt and then call a friend to step out in front of the car causing it to career off the bridge and into the water, at which point the locks would release. (The ethics calculation deemed it preferable that she escape rather than perish.)
> It was shot by the U.S. Air Force ... to demonstrate the relative safety of a low-grade nuclear exchange in the atmosphere.

> the U.S. government has paid some $813 million to more than 16,000 "downwinders" to compensate them for illnesses presumably connected to the bomb testing program.

I can only hope that the lessons learned from these programs are still remembered today, as the POTUS talks about resuming building nuclear weapons.
> BTW there's also the additional information during long file operations (like bandwidth used, etc), and (I believe) it's the only system I know of, where I can pause a file transfer operation, and resume it later...

I think Explorer does that too (bandwidth; don't remember about pause--I think it has that feature), but Dolphin certainly had it first. The task tray integration for background copying is also quite nice and useful if you're on a different virtual desktop (to me, anyway!).

You're absolutely right: Almost everything else is anemic compared to Dolphin!

I don't know about eye strain, but my brain can very easily tell from specularity cues whether I'm looking at a passively lit or back-lit screen. This matters because my brain apparently associates back-lit screens with wakeful activities and keeps me from going to sleep. My brain can't really tell the difference between an E-ink screen and a book (when illuminated by ambient light), so I prefer to read on an E-ink screen before bed.
I disagree that this is "ruined"

Love it!

Feature requests and ideas are obviously not scarce today - I too have some ideas after playing with it for a bit:

- It would be great if there would be a place to set up a new activity that includes multiple people. So entering a birthday party with 15 people is a bit more practical than it is now.
I first thought that's what the journal is about, but it doesn't seem have this feature (yet?). Like it is now, the journal seems not very useful at all to be honest.

- I'd love to set up relationships (SO, children, and more) between existing/full contacts, rather than the child and SO field setting up an "elaborate note".

- Do the notifications reach me in any way? Would be awesome to check a box if I want a reminder via email or browser notification

Even without those features I can see myself using this. Thanks!
Remember that people having a stake in the game (and not current cash) gives incentives for early liquidity. That could be a bad deal for all involved (except the acquirer). If your staff/founders are going broke before the greatest gains in value of the options, they will still have to push for liquidity event before the optimal time.
Perhaps you could discuss why you think their points are compelling? Looking through them, they seem to mostly be the author's opinions without any real research or evidence, and some seem to be counter-factual.

As a couple examples -

1) it talks about how engine refurbishment is a pipe dream, but the only evidence is that 'rockets are hard' basically, and that the Russians didn't do it. But while the shuttle wasn't exactly a model of cheap refurbishment, the RS-25s that were the main engines flew an average of nearly 9 missions each, and some were more (not sure what the most was). That's in addition to all the test fires, of course. So, reasonable people can argue how reliable/cheap the refurbishment process will end up being, but the assertion that we can't go from the SSMEs to a reasonably cost-effective refurbishment of an engine that can fly 10-20 times after 30 years of progress and that they're a fraud requires a bit more evidence/analysis.

2) The assertion that 'almost nobody outside the USA' will use SpaceX seems odd given that their next launch is for a company from Bulgaria. And they've previously launched for customers in the UK, Thailand, Luxembourg, Japan, France, and Turkmenistan in just the past year. Maybe the author meant national payloads from other countries? If so, sure, SpaceX probably won't be launching Russian or Chinese Spy Satellites, but meh?
Definitely a story about startup/VC dysfunction, but I don't see how "bro" particularly applies. Maybe the beer-pong part, but catered meals and company swag and overconfidence aren't limited to bros. "Bro culture" is on the way out, and IMO thank God for that, but this title seems a bit clickbait-y.
They're remembered about as well as the lessons of Vietnam regarding trying to prop up a government with little domestic legitimacy in a civil war.
Hey robinhood - Are you considering packaging this up as a standalone iphone app?
That's a very interesting idea! Certainly it's an interesting take on the sandbox, and might allow for access to analysis tools even for those without the required tools or skillset. Malware is a threat to us all, and anything offering to democratize analysis is well worth considering.

With that said, I can perhaps see a couple of potential sources of additional complexity. First, a spot instance can't really offer the required level of sandboxing. A typical analysis scenario exploits the privileged position a VM host has over the guest to further analysis and safety. Attempting to do so from a peer position is more difficult and may put you in a more limited position to observe all potential behavior as you lose the ability to easily fake DNS, alter the clock, and more.

Second, it's possible that cloud hosting service providers might run services designed to look for and shut down malware-infected hosts. It would certainly be in their general interest and probably in the general interest of most of their customers. In such a scenario, it's very possible that a service like that you describe might find all analysis attempts shut down instantly rather that be able to even attempt to gather useful behavioral evidence.

Your idea is great! It's well worth exploring and holds amazing potential. It may perhaps be best done with the above caveats in mind.
So the top comment here on HN is the one that minimizes the possibility of the incident being rooted in sexism. What a shock.

There's a strange mindset at work here. Everyone perfectly well knows sexism is a real thing that happens in billions of incidents all over the world every single day. Yet somehow the possibility that somewhere, sometime, an accusation of sexism might have been misjudged to some degree, gets some people revved up.
As far as taste goes, I've noticed the biggest difference from pour over brewing methods. Now I can't say for certain I would be able to tell in a blind taste test (same beans, different method) but the best coffee I've had has always been pour over. There's a chance it's just the beans, though.
No - I'm saying I trust first hand accounts from supposed victims more than I trust third hand accounts from random people on the internet mansplaining what happened.
My dad witnessed one of the Bikini Atoll nuclear bomb tests and was on the Atoll 24 hours later measuring background radiation. He never got cancer and lived till he was 83 and died of old age with his organs just shutting down. He was almost never sick. Many of the people that were with him died early of cancer. I hope I have some of his gene pool protection.

He also worked on the Manhattan project. He really never wanted to talk about either experience other than the days when he was assigned to the Manhattan project but before then got to Oakridge Tenn. He had some funny stories to tell about being stationed in NYC before transport to Tenn.

Not necessarily. Sure, all else being equal, then yes, I would agree. But I think the point being made here was that there was something different with the woman - specifically, that she is more introverted than the other panel members and the moderator was reacting differently toward her because of that personality trait, not just because she is female.

To gauge for myself, I clicked the video linked above in the comments that went straight to the segment under scrutiny. My immediate response (without reading the comments here or anywhere else) was not that the moderator was sexist, but rather that he seemed extremely energetic and really into the topic that happened to be her area of expertise and got carried away with himself and started rambling about string theory. From the video I actually get the impression he has a great deal of respect for her and is genuinely extremely interested in the topic and just ran off course.

Revisiting it after the comments here, I think that's still very true, but I think what was mentioned by another about this being his extroversion filling the gap her introversion left is probably even more accurate. Watching some more of the video, she seems more introverted and slightly less comfortable speaking than the other panel members. I also think that in the general case the other panel members made their responses a bit more concise. I think all of this was a factor in how he responded to her.

Maybe that makes him a poor moderator. But I don't think he's necessarily sexist.
I don't know if "competency" is the right word to use.

As the OP points out in the "Assumptions", if you have a company with 5 engineers working on completely different codebases, you may make a conscious decision to not be at "level 4" code review status. Doesn't mean you are incompetent it just means you are practical.

A lot of small business operate efficiently by electing to not overly complexify their development process. So maybe instead of "competency" using a word like "sophistication" would be better

Your grind was probably too fine. If you have a grinder at home try using a more course setting. Some grocery shops have grinders in the coffee aisles with adjustable settings.

Alternatively you can use cheesecloth, a press, or a pour over filter.

I typically use the pour over filter which provides the best results for my grind size + is reusable.
Somewhat on topic, but in Colorado we have 6 of the original Titan I nuclear complexes. Abandoned since 1965, each complex has probably a mile of tunnels, huge underground rooms and 3 massive silos. They're absolutely fascinating to explore.

No, I'm not. Fair use is one (of several) copyright exceptions and, as such, is addressed in my post.
Where did you live? Just curious because it might not have been the right one for you. I've lived in Santa Monica, Hollywood, Pacific Palisades, Sherman Oaks, El Segundo, Playa Del Rey, Manhattan Beach. :) Enjoyed every one, although Hollywood was only cool for a few years when I was younger. I knew I wouldn't want to be there long.

As you can see I prefer the beach cities but there are great places in the valley (Sherman Oaks) and elsewhere like Echo Park and Silverlake that have completely different people and feel. I have a few friends that absolutely love downtown too.

It depends a lot on the company, but:

1. Project manager: make sure the product (as defined by someone else) ships on schedule with the top priority features (as defined by someone else).

2. Product manager: make sure the product meets user needs. This may involve some project management as well.
I like how you quote her response where she is talking about sexism in general(which certainly exists), when I and OP were talking about the specific event, and whether it was sexism.

Why didn't you quote this part instead?

> Maybe I’m too naive, but I simply gave him the benefit of doubt that he was so excited by the newly-learned idea of the duality that he couldn’t resist, and that the same might have occurred had the panelist been a male instead of me. So it didn’t bother me.
You can also build a memory system that is able to deal with the aliasing. Then you don't have the dependence on page size.

I don't know if Holt behaved the way he did out of sexism, enthusiasm for the subject, generally liking the sound of his voice or what. Regardless, I think the narrative of this exchange between him, Hubeny, and Talkington can function as a nice morality play that most of us can learn from.

But I think it only works if we don't jump demonize or defend Holt and try to simply use him to score points for our side. Instead, if I empathize for all of the characters, there's something to be gained from each.

When I imagine myself in Holt's shoes (which, to be honest, is unfortunately a little too easy for me to do), it's a reminder to be more of a listener and less focused on filling silence or letting my own inner monologue take over. I'm overly sensitive to pauses in conversation and tend to rush to fill them. But some people are naturally quieter, more pensive, or have a different preferred cadence. It's important to cater to them. This is true regardless of their gender, but is particularly true for women where society has trained them to be the conceding person when two people — deliberately or accidentally — start talking at the same time.

Hubeny handled the whole thing with remarkable grace, both during and after. She didn't get irate on stage and tried to respond to Holt and go with the flow to keep things moving, even when she had every right to be frustrated. She certainly would have been justified in pushing back on him, but she demonstrated another important social skill, which is giving people some benefit of the doubt. Good engineers never forget about tolerances and safety factors and our social interactions need those too. We're humans. We make mistakes. When others around us handle those tactfully, it helps the whole machine run smoother.

It is, of course, totally unfair when women find themselves having to do a disproportionate amount of this social lubrication. But that's why it's useful for me (a man) to empathize with her in this interaction. It helps remind me to pick up that role more than I probably do now.

And, then, of course, Talkington's description is a perfect encapsulation of how frightening, but also important and rewarding it is to stand up for what you believe in. The applause she received afterwards shows that while most in the audience didn't have the courage she had, at least most of them did have their hearts in the right place. That's a sign of progress to me.
I've been making my own cold brew for a while, I found the best method is to first filter through a mesh filter to get rid of the bigger grinds, then do a second filtration using a cloth coffee filter to get rid of the finer ones.
