I dunno - there's a fair case to be made that Kante was the essential lynchpin which dragged the rest of them upwards. Especially since we can check this in the subsequent season when he joined a different team (who also won the league whilst Leicester languished mid-table.)

"Chelsea were so happy with N'Golo Kante that they sent Leicester flowers to say thank you for selling him to them."
> I would not want to be highlighted because I am a minority.

I feel the exact same way. Unfortunately, my opinion is often dismissed on this issue because I'm half white or my minority representation isn't underrepresented enough.

Meanwhile many people in tech, specifically women and URMs, who have spent so much time focusing on them being a women or URM in tech are now upset that they're being viewed as just that.
It was the first thing that popped into my mind at first too but then I started thinking about it and out of the top of my head the only issue I could think of would be if symbols are stripped (you can't "load them from another kernel"). But as long as they're in there I think there shouldn't be any problems? But please elaborate on what you mean with the "deal with" part.
Tesla has repeatedly boasted that the Model S is the "safest car ever made". It has been a focal point of their marketing for some time. So when there's evidence to the contrary it makes for great headlines- I wouldn't call it a campaign against EVs in general.

I think you're onto something. This is a valid way of interpreting what happened.

From my 25+ years experience, the main quality for being called great is getting sh*t done. It is never easy because of distorted but still very human mental (tinkering, overthinking, underthinking), physical (laziness, low morale, disorders) and relational (team dynamics, managers, politics) habits.

> But the bigger issue may be the triple whammy of low wages, student debt and rapidly escalating rents.

Student debt is a luxury. There are plenty of affordable colleges and universities. Many just choose to go to expensive options and they are able to do so due to subsidized student loan rates (also a luxury) and support from relatively wealthy parents. In regards to mortgages being unattainable due to housing appreciation, I think that is only half the story. The other half is that mortgage rates are at near historic lows. Yes, homes were cheaper in the 50s-90s but mortgage rates were ~6-18% at that time. This makes a huge difference in home affordability. For instance, a 30 year 100k mortgage at 8% and 4% interest have mortgage payments of $733 vs $477, respectively.

This is not up to you. It is not your project. "woman and man" are inclusive enough, because they cover 100% born people.

Hi Suvinay! Do you all have a website that keeps interested people updated about the upcoming Swarm hardware? I would like to follow this work. Thanks!
I spent the last 32 years coming up with interesting problems to solve. Even though most of them never went anywhere, it's obvious to me that there is a bigger perspective where everything I've learned fits in. Ironically; my best advice I can give is to follow your passion; solve the problems you care deeply about, the best way you can think of, and don't bother so much with other peoples opinions. Unless you're in it for awesome profits, in which case I'm probably the worst person to answer.

I'm not sure that's "easy to measure" since how do you know how many hours have been saved without doing it the "slow" way first?

Someone who isn't fixing a lot of bugs or implementing flashy new features but is providing good mentoring to the team, writing onboarding documentation, helping them understand the large-scale ramifications of their changes, etc., is essentially invisible to "metrics" yet providing a vital role.

I bought a 'shell' of a Thinkpad X220 on eBay for ~£66 ($85) and then bought an SSD, 8GB RAM, Wifi module, 9-cell battery.
All in, about £120 with some smart shopping.

Replacement parts (such as a palm-rest from dropping it off the sofa) cost a few quid, and that's if you manage to absolutely deck the thing.

It's happily chugging away with Debian, all components work OOTB.

Got to recommend a used Thinkpad, and advise checking out the Thinkpad subreddit, they've got some great advice on buying - not all Thinkpads are alike.

It seems your variant does not support the common convention to use lone two dashes ('--') to separate options from non-options that for some reason start with dashes too (e.g. strangely named files).

My version supports typed values at a different level integrated with config file parsing. So the command line argument values are just strings for me.

In the Euro NCAP ratings the Model S seems to do well (5 stars) but there are a fair number of cars that do even better.

Between the Intel Core i9-7900X and AMD Ryzen 7 1800X there is a $540 price difference.

But for that extra cost you get four more threads at a higher clock rate, twenty extra PCIE lanes, a 500 MHz higher turbo clock speed, and double the memory bandwidth.

Even with the lesser Intel Core i7-7820X you will get the same thread count but with a higher clock rate, four extra PCIE lanes, still a 500 MHz higher turbo clock speed, and double the memory bandwidth for only $140 more.

Now, of course, the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1950X comes much closer to the i9-7900X price point.

However, you will sacrifice single core performance to gain twelve more threads at a lower clock rate. But, you will receive twenty more PCIE lanes, over twice as much L3 cache, and the same memory bandwidth as the i9-7900X.

So if your plan is to build a 3D render farm, the Threadripper seems quite appropriate.

Although, if you plan to build a workstation on which to model 3D assets and to perform preview renders--the Intel i9 series seems more apt.

Yet again the HN crowd ignores that the large majority of software is not deployed by developers.

Most organizations are not facebook; they deploy from distributions and pull security updates and that's it.

Maintaining systems duct-taped together with compilers/pip/npm/$container_tool_of_the_year becomes very expensive in the long run and with tenths of Frankenstein systems around.

Also, hunting and patching vulnerabilities becomes a big effort due to static binaries, vendorized libs, and so on... (hello left-pad!)
Both Apache-2.0 and [L]GPLv3 have patent licensing clauses as well. Patents are a more general problem that you cannot solve with just a license, but patent license clauses avoid patent treachery[1] by construction -- as long as you can trace back your copy of the software to a patent holder then the patent cannot be used against you. This is obviously not ideal, the ideal solution would be to eradicate the concept of software patents entirely, but as far as legal hacks go this is as good as you can get.

Patents are a legal minefield (for users) whether or not your licenses talk about them (though licenses that remain silent about patents open you up to patent treachery) because of the laws that surround them (independent discovery is not protected). As for patent holders, they simply are not allowed to both distribute software under those licenses and harass users of said software using patents contained in the software. I think that's more than a fair trade (in fact, the scales are tipped in their favour because they can still sue you if someone else independently discovers something they patented).

[1]: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations.html#sm... -- In particular `[...] it does prevent patent holders from setting up a “bait and switch” where they release the software under free terms then require recipients to agree to nonfree terms in a patent license.`

Despite some of the negative comments you see (Edmonton does have a real winter, on par with Toronto and Montreal for snow, but colder still) Edmonton is a pretty awesome place to live and spend time. It has always been the ugly step brother to Calgary and it took decades for oil wealth to really start to change the city. When it did, it wasn't in the cowtown-n-skyscrapers Texas style you saw in Calgary, but something a little less brash and more focused on arts and culture.

Don't forget as well, you are a short trip to Jasper, the BC interior and all sorts of absolutely amazing places that are busy and fun 4 seasons of the year.

That is all to say, from the perspective of someone who does not live there, Edmonton is an easy place to underestimate. There are many people who would prefer it to Toronto/Montreal just for the simple fact that they can buy a house, get around easily, and be much closer to the outdoors.

- Fast enough to handle real work loads (lots of browser tabs, running large Rails apps in Docker, streaming music, etc.)

- SD card and USB ports

Sun had a chance with OpenSolaris and they blew it with terrible community management. The fact that they wanted OpenSolaris to be Solaris Next with minimum to no changes posed a serious conflict with community contributions. If they had followed the Fedora/RHEL strategy things would have been different but there always that mistrust of external contributions (e.g. nobody outside Sun/Oracle could build the thing properly, let alone the binary blobs issue).

We had hundreds of OpenSolaris servers and nobody could say that in 2008-2010 they weren't the best we had for a NAS server. Linux and BSD didn't come close to having anything resembling SMF/ZFS/etc... nowadays it's a different story, I'd pick FreeBSD any day for a NAS appliance.

As I pointed out earlier, her boss addressed the weekly meeting thing directly, and Coraline mentions it:

> I brought up the fact that we had been actively working on improving that over the past several months and that I had been tracking well against the goals we agreed to, but she said that the review period was only through January so that progress didn't count.

So, the "tracking well" was in a 4 month span not in the review period.

Re-reading it again, I'm not convinced that this is a management failure either. The section titled Empathy starts with:

> Starting in December, in my weekly one-on-one meetings with my manager, we would review all of my written communication (issues, pull requests, code reviews, and Slack messages) to talk about how I could improve. It felt ridiculous but I went along with it, and did my best to address my manager's feedback and concerns.

One way to read that is that her manager was trying to address these problems, but Coraline didn't understand how serious they were, because she dismissed them as "ridiculous."
That seems pretty bad as well.

Ask HN: What about a platform for hiring teams instead of individuals?
We see a lot of startups that use existing platforms for individual hiring to team up freelancers. However building teams on in individual hires take too much time and effort, with no knowledge about compatibility or assurance regarding the resulting efficiency of the team.

Startups need more than an group of people, they need an efficient team to move fast. As Aristotle said "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts".

What do you think of a platform where recruiters can search and hire teams based on their portfolio and soft skills, while still having access to each individual technical expertise?

I frankly do not believe that instinctive empathy is always necessary. Instead, like another suggestion, read good fiction- but also read people's real stories. There's a documentary on the families affected by the Sandy Hook shooting- this was useful to me. There's lots of people writing about their lives in situations you'll never be able to be in. Read them when you can, try to understand them, take people at their word when they say they're experiencing things. Chances are, they don't really have a reason to fake or blow it up nearly as much as it may first seem, even if it seems irrational or incomprehensible at first. Humans are rarely totally without some context or reason to their perspective.

Note: I don't have empathy for myself very well, but my own behavior can tread bizarrely enough that I am forced to examine my own behavior in a way that can be explained to others reasonably. If you can explain others' behavior in this way that isn't condescending towards them, that takes all aspects into their behavior into account, you will come off as compassionate and empathetic regardless of how you feel in the situation. At least this has been my experience.
