If you spent 100k to build integrations though and are all in on google per se... you get screwed out of 100k if they decide to change the way things work.

Much better imho for a growing business to use their own in-house tools that they can mold how they want and that won't change UNLESS they want them to.

'Breakthrough' means something less specific than 'a solution to a problem having a search without usable gradients in a high-dimensional problem space.' This is rather beside the point, however, as the the claim that kicked off this thread (most problems are exponentially hard) is about the difficulty of problem-solving in general, not the subset of problems that are pretty much hard by definition, in that their solution was/would be a breakthrough.

The conclusion is based on consideration of the entire population of biographical Wikipedia entries with an Erdos Number of One. It is not statistical except in some lay sense that any reference to percentages makes something statistical.

Talking about p-values in contexts where one has all the facts and the additional fact that one has all the facts suggests a gross misunderstanding of statistical concepts, their utilities, and the circumstances in which they apply.
Respectfully no, but it would be relevant to understand the methodology of how they were able to discern a 1-in-4 statistic which seems, on its face at least, questionable at best. Maybe they're right and the methodology might be sound, but it doesn't change my perspective without that backing information to contextualize it.

A "primary source" also isn't in any way immune to rational inquiry. I don't mean for this parallel in any way to imply a relationship, but just look at our administration or any one of innumerable other examples to this end. Taking something at face value, to me at least, requires more than a decontextualized statement of fact when my immediate impulse is to question it (in this particular case).

For instance, define "job". Are we talking about a recommendation leading to a project for a contractor, or are we talking a full-time position? I mean, that's just the start. In what ways are they determining what constitutes "finding a job"? Talking to friends and friends of friends? Or directly messaging a corporation's page on Facebook?

There's a lot of squish here and I wish they were more forthcoming about what that statistic actually means.

FWIW, the paper describes it as a vote currency that can only be used for the vote, as opposed to cash you could spend on anything. The voice credits have to be distributed to voters.

Demanding the support of spaces in filenames significantly complicates code as simple space delimination no longer works and other delimination schemes are much more error prone -- forgetting balancing quotes, any one? While you are allowing spaces, you probabaly are allowing all possible code points or maybe even a null byte? Thinking about it gives me headaches.

I hate hearing people using 21st century or modern as reasons for inflating complexities. Without rein on complexity (whether it is hidden or not), the future is doomed, whatever you are building. While I am not saying we should avoid complexity at all cost, I am insisting that all complexity should be balanced with merits.

The merits of filenames with spaces is they read better in a GUI explorer. Whether that merit balances out all the complexity it brings is individual dependent. For me, that merit ranks very low and I avoid spaces in my filenames at all opportunities. For some, they need those filenames to be readable. And there are solutions. One solution, from those who don't code, seems to demand ("developers", paid or not) that every tool that deal with files should handle this additional complexity, regardless of their context and what they think. Another solution would be to add an additional pre-step of copying/renaming/linking/aliasing. With the latter solution, the complexity is confined.

I guess for some, it only matters with "I do work" or "they do work" rather than the big picture. That is fine. However given the context of you are working with Makefiles, then you are a developer at some level, you are supposed to do some work.
>But regardless of that, a tool that makes a semantic distinction between tabs and spaces is NEVER the UX you want unless you're a masochist.

I don't run into those too often.

When I do, there are two cases:

1) All dependencies are on only one output file (e.g. link stages that generate .map files, compile phases that generate separate .o and debug files). I just treat these as normal

2) I may need to depend on each of the files (I don't use yacc/bison, but it sounds like this would qualify). I select one file to be the main output and have the .do file for that ensure that the secondary outputs go to a mangled name; I then have the .do files for the secondary outputs rename the mangled file.

quick example for generating foo.c/foo.h

foo.c.do:

generate-file --cout "$3" --hout "$2-mangled.h"

foo.h.do:

redo-ifchange "$2.c"
mv "$2-mangled.h" "$3"

Northpass LMS allows the content creator to deliver surveys to learners to get feedback. Are these surveys predetermined and are used as reviews for the course? Or the author can create his own survey? If he can, then how can he get feedback about the course's quality? I think reviews are very important but the description doesn't make it clear if they are implemented in Northpass or not.
Well, it does completely validate his world-view and everything he has worked for. Not terribly surprising.
make is scary because people use autogenerated Makefiles.

After you've tried to naïvely read a Makefile for a medium-sized C project you'll never want to write a Makefile yourself.

That said, there's no tool that works so simply and so beautifully as make when you have a lot of build steps that generate lots of intermediate files with complex dependency links between them. That situation may happen everywhere, even if you're generating a bunch of PDFs or rendering HTML templates or making images from .dot files or whatever. Use make.

Or is there an alternative tool for these situations also?
My feeling also. The whole "At Google everyone is THE smartest in the world": This is marketing "talk-the-talk".

It's crazy once you realize how easy it is to make the employees repeat the ego-flattering "talk-the-talk" without them realizing they are part of a huge marketing machine.
thanks for sharing. I watched it, but remain unconvinced. I'm a little disappointed, because I was hoping for a compelling or novel take on the issue. That worldview just looks so narrow and reductive to me. The god of Abraham exists, but only because people think he does. He's real in the same way our thoughts are real. I see this as a far more profound position because god becomes a manifestation of his believers' collective consciousness (for better or worse).

The electrons bouncing between the neon molecules in a bar lamp and our electrochemical responses occurring in our neuron synapses orders of magnitude closer to the notion of god than than the rituals and ceremonies religions use to worship him, in my opinion.

This is why I see Christianity as hubris. to claim atheism requires faith is to say that religion asserts it has absolute knowledge (the doublespeak goes both ways). If god is this all powerful, omnipresent creator of all space and time, its overwhelmingly likely that we wouldn't be able to comprehend him. We barely comprehend the <literally anything> and I'm expected to believe ancient peoples could comprehend the nature of gods existence? Nay, instead they willed him into existence, their actions an expression of that will.

didn't mean for this post to be so long. I guess I'm just a little unimpressed by this preacher who states we're not trying hard enough to understand each other then strawman's the arguments for atheism.

I found this challenge actually harmed my productivity - I wound up reading more reddit comments and playing less little puzzle games (think Flow Free, not Clash of Clans). The little puzzle games were relaxing and I could pay attention to music or a podcast while playing them. Reddit comment threads are often political and angry and reading text draws my focus entirely - leaving me feeling mad about things I really have no control over and which actually have fairly little impact on me. Uninstalled the reddit app when I realized it had this influence for me at least.

Most important thing I look for as a manager is the candidate's driving/travel distance to a common location.

Example: If the job's main HQ is in Atlanta, you can work remote and live in Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, etc. If we're having a new kickoff meeting and we need everybody to be on site for an in-person meeting, then a short 2-3 hour drive can solve a ton of issues.

Upper management gets to see real live people tackle a project. (If you think your CFO isn't internally questioning spending 6 figures on a remote developer then you haven't spent enough time with him/her). It also builds rapport with the rest of the team. For the remote folks, after working in a house for so long it can start to feel like a prison, and a road trip is a good excuse to get out of the house. I also work remote, so when I travel it's actually a good break during the day.

And we don't do it often. Perhaps once a quarter or so.

Yes, moderators routinely downweight tutorial articles for that reason. It took us years to realize it, but tutorials aren't a good fit for Hacker News.

HN is for articles that gratify intellectual curiosity. Most tutorials don't do that; it doesn't fit with being a recipe for a task. If a recipe were to dive deeply into how and why its steps work, how they got that way, and compared other recipes that have (or don't have) similar steps, it would gratify intellectual curiosity better. But then it would be a worse recipe. It would also be more work to write.

The worst kind of tutorial from an HN point of view is the kind filled with arbitrary details that apply only to a particular program or product, like "Now put a file named foo in a directory called baz". But that is almost all of them.

When I worked in Systems engineering division (67k FTE) in BT there where 18 or so mpg2-> mpg4 every 18 months (if we were lucky) approx. 600 would pass the paper shift to get on the short list.

I was told by my boss that getting on the short list meant they thought you where capable of doing the job group finance wouldn't approve of small in crease in pay quanta - I knew some people so desperate they took a transfer to payphones to get a promotion.

> They need to understand the challenges posed by distributed teams, particularly if the team isn't entirely remote.

Out of all of the fantastic points listed this is by far the most critical because it most likely will be the root of every other problem.

The thing is, it's not entirely the challenge of being distributed, it's the challenge of having an inconsistent team dynamic where the needs of the colocated team members aren't aligned with the needs of the distributed members. Without strong leadership, discipline and culture it's all too easy to try and patch over the communication and collaboration issues with all kinds of workflows, Slack bots, and tools that ignore the essense of an interpersonal problem and turn it into a technical one.

For example (in my own experience):

- The expectations around availability aren't clear so individual flexibility takes priority over team flexibility and it's hard to set some healthy boundaries on it (e.g. remote or not the team wants to hear how it's going at 10.30 to see if expectations for delivery need to be adjusted)

- There may be an isolated/individualistic mentality where you're building code on a production line (which is counter-productive for budding startups that need business/dev collab)

- Colocated colleagues are privy to far more information than remote colleagues unless they remember to share it in public channels (e.g. Slack), _or_ it's all done through private channels and nobody is on the same page about anything

- Half your work day is scanning productivity tools for updates (github, jira/pivotal/asana/trello, dropbox, slack integrations) instead of having a conversation

- The remote side will almost _always_ be scapegoated or be the reason for something being more difficult than it normally would be

- There might be an absense of serendipity that makes the space for creative and interactive problem solving because the connections aren't quite there for it

It's pretty much the sort of thing that becomes a problem once the team or company matures beyond petty blame and starts to treat the remote part of the team as first class. The issue in a nutshell is that you might initially be dealing with an over-correction so rather than striking the balance that gets the team working well together whether they're in the office or not, you get one that stifles colocated activity.

The fact it happens to be a clash of remote and colocated dynamics is irrelevant, it's the failure of leadership to bring the team together as one while also respecting its occasionally incompatible requirements that's important.
Tribalist identity politics are inevitable in all multicultural societies. You can bemoan human nature, but you can't change it.

That's not to say multicultural societies can't be successful, with discipline and genius it can be done. For example Lee Kuan Yew (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Kuan_Yew) did a great job with Singapore.

How does the Secure Enclave store all of those AES keys? I am guessing that the keys aren't random and are regenerated in order to do decryption, so "all" an attacker needs to do is break the key generation process, not the keys themselves.

> The feelings underlying my comments here are that I think it's important to not shy away from divisive topics in the workplace.

I agree conditionally, since there isn't one kind of "divisive" topic. Some kinds should be avoided, which are the ones people usually are talking about when they say politics should be avoided the workplace. The main thing that comes from them are disruption, polarization, and nasty feelings. Other kinds, like ones that are "divisive" between workers and owners, should be tolerated or even encouraged, since they are appropriate to the context and can lead to genuine improvement within it.
I need to send an email every time a log file updates, just the tail, simple make file:

send: foo.log
tail foo.log | email

watch make send

Crap, it keeps sending it. Ok, so you work out some scheme involving temporary files which act as guards against duplicate processing. Or you write a script which conditionally sends the email by storing the hash of the previous transmission and comparing it against the hash of the new one.

That last option actually makes sense and can work well and solves a lot of problems, but you've left Make's features to pull this off. For a full workflow system you'll end up needing something more than files and timestamps to control actions, though Make can work very well to prototype it or if you only care about those timestamps.

================

Another issue with Make is that it's not smart enough to know that intermediate files may change without those changes being important. Consider that I change the comments in foo.c or reformat for some reason. This generates a new foo.o because the foo.c timestamp is updated. Now it wants to rebuild everything that uses foo.o because foo.o is newer than those targets. Problem, foo.o didn't actually change and a check of its hash would reveal that. Make doesn't know about this. So you end up making a trivial change to a source file and could spend the afternoon rebuilding the whole system because your build system doesn't understand that nothing in the binaries are actually changing.

Aha! I had not thought to look for such a hook. Are they common? This is very close to what I'm looking for, thank you. Then, to toggle, I guess I would automate closing and reopening the file.

Edit: Oops. Now I'm thinking this would probably break all code analysis features. It would be nice if there was a notion of a 'view' that is very superficial and doesn't impact the code analysis.
That's one of the big reasons people share for sure. Another reason that can't be underestimated is that, sometimes, it just feels good to talk about something you've been pouring your heart into in obscurity for years.

Also, the interviews are just one part of the site. Arguably the most useful part of Indie Hackers is the forum where people share what they're working on with the goal of getting feedback and advice from other founders.

> If they can get this right, this could end blue-collar unemployment.

Blue-collar unemployment isn't due to the lack of a sophisticated job search engine, it's due to not having enough jobs. Those jobs have been lost to process improvement and automation and they're not coming back.

They need training and education, not simply a blue-collar LinkedIn.
Assuming you chose a strong passphrase, which you safeguard properly, and barring keyloggers, you should have absolutely no issue having your encrypted database published on the front page of google.com and offered to everybody.

Just ensure you have a few million key transformation iterations to really harden it against bruteforcing attempts.

In reality, though, given that you can never be 100% sure you don't have a keylogger or other malware, you shouldn't really volunteer half the keys to the kingdom (= the database) to the world.

Actually, if you handle third party data this could even be a breach of regulations (think HIPAA)
You would probably need another query language, but that would come with time, after people had gotten used to the idea.
