This is funny to read, but please take it with a grain of salt. For instance, medievalist.net's story of Leo's murder is based on a single source, John Skylitzes, who lived more than two centuries after the events (circa 1040-1100, when Leo's death was in 820).

Other historians have serious doubts on the veracity of this story. By crossing with other sources, though none is as detailed as Skylitzes' romantic prose, they try to distinguish the (probable) facts from the pure inventions (and the reality-inspired inventions). See "The Conspiracy of Michael Traulos and the Assassination of Leo V: History and Fiction", Dmitry Afinogenov, 2001 : the paranoia of King Leo seems more realistic than a conspiracy by Michael.

It's historians hard work to separate the fiction from the facts, and to learn even from the fiction. One can try the same today: most modern media are less emphatic than John Skylitzes, but they can't always be right and neutral. Yet it's often very hard and time-consuming to find when a reporter stated a fact and when he exaggerated or wrote what he wished or was told.
If there's a team of demonstrably awesome people, we already have a word for incorporating them wholesale into a company - acquisition.

If a team is truly great they are indeed more valuable than the sum of their parts so they would be selling themselves short not to shoot for a more lucrative acquisition.

Ultimate I would expect a platform such as this to either turn into an acquisition tool or be filled with mediocre teams while the good teams are acquired elsewhere.
Two weeks ago Mailroom Month got to #3 on Product Hunt.

https://www.producthunt.com/posts/mailroom-month

We're running a programme that teaches devs, designers, and product people how to get journalists to write about your business, product, startup or idea by using real journalists as examples.

PR is often a huge roadblock for people who can build hot-shit products but struggle to get the media response it deserves.

We send a reporter to your email with expert advice on how to pitch them — every day for a month during July.

We're currently going into our second week so if you enroll today you will have missed a few issues.

However, these coming two weeks focus on tech-only publications so I thought it would be perfect timing to drop in on HN and see if anyone had any questions or wanted to join in.

So far, close to 12,000 have enrolled including employees from some of the largest startups but I didn't want to post here until we'd started getting stuff out the door.

If you have any questions free to reply here, tweet at me @SupArchie or send an email to hackernews@mailroom.press

Not to be negative but aren't these things that any decent programmer resume would usually include? I don't feel like these really make someone stand out.

Most Python packages are team-maintained in Debian.

I don't know what you mean by "porting", but if it's just deleting Python 2 packages, that won't help: they are easy to maintain and they are still useful. If you mean porting the actual code of each package to Python 3, it's a work to be done upstream. Packagers have enough to do with packaging.
One significant problem is that teams have much more negotiating power than individuals. Which is why teams that stay together are consulting agencies.

To put it simply: The software development department of a company might bring the company $10 mil value. A consulting agency with great sales would bill them $9 mil to do the work. Individually hired developers might be paid a total of $1 mil.

If the company hires an entire team, eventually the team figures out that they bring $10 mil value and can easily negotiate their pay up to that because they coordinate together. Individual developers almost never coordinate like this.

I don't think anyone here is arguing the outcome, just the approach.
Answer: Depends on the Launch/Payload. Some more publicly popular launches during good viewing times, with time sensitive cargo will look pretty bad, and cost a lot, but these are part and parcel of the process. Overall, the economic losses are well acceped even from catasropic events with careful, risk aware insurers. A pushed launch makes people nervous, but not much else but extra pay for another week of hundreds of specialists, and fresh purging gases. In extreme cases the payload may need offloading for service, whivh is not a cheap proposition but I am unaware if Spacex has particular policies on this.

"why take things personally?" The same could probably be asked of many of the "sexist barriers" you allude to. Intentions And pragmatism have never been relevant with regards to inclusivity; why should they now be? Because the offender has the right politics?
There's VR and Apple's ARkit very recently...

I feel more like innovations are appearing all the time and I cannot keep up. And that most awesome stuff (technically) is done inside big companies..

Though that I feel like new gadgets/apps don't make me feel empowered and smarter like when PCs first appeared. Just the opposite: they train me to have zero focus etc.
May I ask why anybody would want to know this? Are we just seeing if there's a concentration of users in one area, or anybody in the same zip?
Yeah, the random, terrible requirements of some sites is what will keep me on 1password. Yes, if I was specifically targeted I'm sure my accounts will be compromised, but the thing is I am not really concerned about that - the bigger problem is every random site losing user data every other week. If they have a throwaway password I am already better off than 95% of the population.

But honestly, it is quite unbelievable how many sites don't allow certain special characters, limit you to X characters, etc.

And I think one key factor that developers forget is convenience and UX, if a password manager is cumbersome, or only works on some sites, then the chances of a user dropping it will increase a ton.

Really? "Look, someone else wrote a post about leaving github and it wasn't received as negatively! It must because one was a white male and the other was transgender."

No. How about, the tone of the post is completely different?
Could be because the title was somewhat misleading.
First comment: "The headline is not only wrong (it aced all but one test, so didn't fall to ace "some tests"), but seems designed to make it sound much worse than the report actually suggests."
But that's the originating company's problem, not that of the individuals in a team. If anything, if a company endures an overnight exodus of talent it should probably review how it's paying and treating its existing employees.
I've read the converse, that a comment without a vote harms a story's ranking.

I'm certain there's something (unintentionally) perverse in the ranking system, but as it's secret it's impossible to say for sure.

Secret rules that manipulate our behaviour are damaging.
> Some people (myself included) prefer to get a general direction and then later to come back for further questions. Too much information in a short amount of time can be overwhelming, I need some time to absorb and read it up in the internet. A few keywords might be good enough to get someone going and figure it out themselves.

I'm in a senior role on my team, and this is exactly how I'd describe the support I try to give my teammates when they ask (and hopefully, they'd agree). Unless someone is going down the significantly wrong path, I'll generally leave them alone until they ask for assistance. Sometimes, they ask for a direction, sometimes they ask for the type of "pair programming" described in the post (screensharing via video calls), but how much or little they get is up to them, and they drive.

In this case, you're right that we don't know the context of the story from the more junior developer's perspective, and it's completely plausible that they weren't happy with the mentorship they were receiving, but also didn't feel comfortable giving that feedback themselves, all of which is a shame.

The Thinkpad X1 Carbon is an astonishingly good machine
Hiring a team is often the basis for buying and selling consulting services. The premium that consultants charge is often based on the value of having assembled a team with specific expertise. The other way teams are bought and sold is via the outright purchase of companies.

It is hard to see why and how a functioning and talented team would be assembled outside those circumstances. I mean a team built to sell suggests that the members are not ideally busy solving technical problems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BASICODE

"BASICODE was a computer project intended to create a unified standard for the BASIC programming language. BASIC was available on many popular home computers, but there were countless variants that were mostly incompatible with each other. The project was initiated in 1980 by Hobbyscoop, a radio program of the Dutch broadcasting organisation Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS).

Around 1980 the Dutch broadcaster NOS began transmitting computer programs by radio. Because programs and data were stored as audio on compact cassettes, it was possible to record such a broadcast on tape and load it into the computer later. However, because of the problems mentioned earlier, the program had to be adapted for nearly all popular types of computers and broadcast multiple times as well. Because the compact cassette has a very low data density compared to today's storage media, the recording of the programs took quite a long time, and only a limited number of programs could be broadcast per show. So, the additional broadcasting of different versions of the same programs was a great inconvenience.

In 1982 the executives at NOS decided to develop a unified data format. An application that was specific for each computer model, called Bascoder, managed the recall and storage of programs and data in this unified format from tape. The Bascoders were broadcast by NOS as well, but could also be bought from NOS on cassette and shared among friends and acquaintances. The format, which was very well-protected against interference, could be read and written by all popular home computer hardware. The robustness of the format also made broadcasting via mediumwave radio possible, which increased the range and in turn the number of potential users."
Isn't delegating(outsourcing) the whole point? Once you do not need POSIX(and POSIX itself does not require Linux specifically) and your tools take care of underlying system, why would you care about system you're running(or, to be more precise, care about running Linux in particular)?
No. It is not.

Hardly finite. Do you realize how much solar energy hits the Earth every second?

Provided we transition to clean energy (as we're doing) and electrify everything especially transport, there are plenty of resources.

That's why the most important part of computer magazines was the "Errata" section - and they could stretch across many months: "Reader Joe says last month's errata was incorrect and line 1080 should be...". As a kid I started to suspect some were doing it on purpose to make me buy the next magazine!

I loved doing type-in listings though. A while back I started making a game "BASIC Instincts" that was going to be about finding clues and typing in BASIC. I had a prototype working (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwBiJR_rj_w) but then "Else heart.break()" was released and took the wind out of my sails. Might have to go back to it though!

Its interesting to see a game programmer working, and luckily with Youtube and Twitch, its quite easy to do so nowadays: https://handmadehero.org/, twitter.com/jonathan_blow, https://twitter.com/nothingsand so many others.

They are very concerned about compile times and having a short edit/compile/run cycle.
I've worked at a couple of places where they've hired one key "influencer" manager who then proceeded to recruit half of their old team. It can be good or bad depending on the quality of the team. When its bad, its particularly toxic. Favoritism and cliqueness run rampant. Unqualified people are promoted ahead of qualified people. Eventually, it leads to heavy employee churn.

Its risky. Perhaps if it was a whole team, who didn't need to integrate any existing employees, it could work.
Show HN: Would you use a customer service software we developed?
just a few notes. this by no means a system entirely based around battery EV technology. there is still time for ample replacements of traditional combustion engines with fuel cells or similar. In many industries it is a near requirement.

I am still not a fan of battery technology with regards to transportation in its current state. nearly a half ton in weight to go less than three hundred miles, usually a lot less, in optimal conditions. Coupled with charge times that even the best are only down to an hour for a full charge.

the other initiatives he mentioned likely will get smacked by the WTO unless it morphs into some kind of environmental policy with ever changing rules about what is sustainable or not with regards to harvesting of crops. if anything it would require subsidies to nations who crops are deemed unacceptable.
I'm not suggesting to solve them immediately, I was merely stating even the smallest temporary solution will stay around for longer than expected at that time. Instead of leaving only a todo (issue tracking) in code, leave a decent context in code so it is not lost no matter what issue tracking system is used. Using codebase as issue tracking is fine as well. But issues will get forgotten or become irrelevant. Having just todo's with no context (ticket was removed from old issue tracking, issue was never tracked) just creates legacy code which is hard to refactor or delete without proper time investment.
Then that's no longer random...
I'm pretty sure if you went to a digital agency and wanted to hire 5 people 40 hours a week and pay the rate they would work for you exclusively until the point you no longer want them to.

Better off is software consultancy groups. They're more used to this set up.

One thing I really find myself having a hard time working with WordPress themes is that many of them are bloated and require so many plugins.

Not to take away from your numbers, but you should consider the cost of the motherboard, too. The HEDT Intel motherboards tend to be more expensive than what the Ryzen ones are going for and much harder to find replacements for down the line. Microcenter seems to only sell one X299 and it's at $310. Depending on your desired feature set, you can get a Ryzen motherboard for < $100.

I run ChromeOS on an unmodified Chromebook, primarily for security reasons. With the situation as it is on the net, I feel more comfortable that way. Slightly newer machine, so the specs are higher (m5 CPU, 8GB of ram... still 1080p screen.)

That doesn't mean it's only usable for browsing, though. It's actually a surprisingly powerful device. I'm on the dev channel, which although occasionally buggy, also improves integration with Android a bit. It's got:

- F.lux/redshift equivalent: Night mode. It's built in, but only in dev for now.

- General Linux stuff: Termux. That's a linux-distro-as-android-app. Debian-based.

- Remote shell: SSH-in-a-window-or-tab, mosh. Or Termux.

- Remote desktop: Well, VNC, but there are tons of options here.

- Video player: mpv-android. Much better than the built-in player.

- Writing: Aint, or Google Drive. The latter does work quite well offline, the former is a good bit faster though.

- Development... Termux comes with the usual suspects; python, clang, node.js and so on all work. Can't say I've taken advantage, but it's nice to know that it's there if I need it.

All of that without flipping the development switch on the chromebook. About the only thing I'm missing is graphics support for Termux, but my needs are simple, and Emacs runs as well in a terminal as in a window.

Good answer to a good (sincere) question. Thanks.

"Paternalistic" is the word that pops into my head. I really like "condescending" too.

Projecting the belief that we know what's best for other people, the arrogance, is why so many hate "liberal elites" like me. Whereas I'm trying to figure out ways to empower others, many of my cohort continue to unwittingly disempower others.

I definitely don't have any useful answers, insights.

(Aside: "liberal elites" are the mirror image of the "fundamentalists", for lack of better terms, who also know what's best for other people. This is not a left vs right issue.)
I think instead of looking for problems, you should look for your passion.. And what you could stick with time and time again to perfect.
