Being more objective about and positive/negatives of major aspects of one's life.

Since this is HN, I'll talk about having a technical role/job. It's really easy to feel that something fantastic (e.g. a great business problem, the latest tech stack, a great work environment) is present at another job feel miserable because your current job doesn't have that one thing. Many times this is just your own projection (and you may not project the negatives around that one thing) You can then jump to another job based on this projection and feel even more miserable than you did before you took the job because now you realize you were only projecting that this missing thing existed at your new job.

Going along this with, you project how great that one missing thing will be, but not realize that one missing thing is going to have negatives as well.

You can also minimize the negatives - My work environment/boss/tech stack is terrible, but most jobs are like this so I'll stay. Again, you project the negatives to another place out of fear that leaving your current job will be a mistake.

It's a long and hard series of lessons to get to the point where you can be somewhat objective what's missing, what's okay to be missing, what needs to be there for you to be content, and the ways resolve this. That way you can be more balanced about what you need from a job what you need to from outside your job.
It's a widespread issue:

Just curious, how can you even get a lawyer for issues like this? And in US it would all be a sham show (like the Zuckerberg senate hearing)
I think it's hard to imagine how smart some people can be. Einstein would hang out with people a lot more talented than him in mathematics (Poincare, Von Neumann, Goedel) ... so it's easy to see how he would be humbled.

During my PhD, I thought I was the dumbest one in the group. Some of the mathematical feats of my colleagues would take me weeks to process. But they would grok it in minutes. Eventually you have to take a holistic view: There are the things you are capable of, there are things you might be able to do but are not interested in (For me, spending 8h/day reading theorem, lema, proof statements), things you will never achieve, ... and combinations of skills that only you have and those people don't. Your path to satisfaction and happiness is often not becoming those "expert" people. But it's still great to be challenged and stimulated by them.
As nice as WFH is, I’m cautious about advocating it. We should be careful what we wish for. I’d be worried about management logic deciding that if my job can truly be done from home, it can be done from India.
Many management issues you mention are not cut and dry. The fact is early stages of a product development tends to be experimentation and fast iteration.
Experienced, heavy hitters don’t work well in this situation, they are great when the product has matured and you need stability and need to fix the last 10% of the issues.
Hiring new grads who can code certainly helps in man many situations, but not all.
I love the sentiment, but I feel like this imposes significant costs on non-engineers, and ultimately on the whole team.

Product managers, UX, and others need significant input from the engineering team to make good decisions (i.e. not design un-buildable things). And the idea that they can go for 3 business days a time without that input seems... unrealistic and/or counterproductive.

But of course meetings should be limited as much as possible... include just the relevant engineer(s)... and trying to cluster meetings instead of spreading them throughout the whole day...
Base on their blog post, it looks like its lack of maintenance was the driver for the decision to go open source http://impactjs.com/blog/2018/05/impact-is-now-free-open-sou...
Where is it written? Could you pin point it? I see urandom everywhere.
Low numbers go towards red, high numbers towards blue. Often, red implies something bad so that's a bit confusion. I guess it's the standard scheme for low/high numbers at eurostat.
Hanlon's razor is dangerous. "Playing stupid" and its adult cousin "plausible deniability" trivially exploit the razor under adversarial conditions.

That said, we agree on the probable cause of this particular issue.
Talking about asymptotics already assumes that the universe is infinite. Any smooth, finite spacetime will have finite energy. The interesting thing about asymptotically flat spacetimes is that they can be infinite in volume but have finite energy.
Are there any active projects using this?

It seems to me this was a big thing back in the day but not really relevant anymore.
> A person who has 10+ years of experience ... is likely to have their own opinions about how things are done

Yes, and that's why you want to hire them. That's the whole point of having experience.
One team I worked on distinguished "meetings" from "conversations". The former being formal, scheduled things with agendas, and the latter being people on the team talking about things as needed, with people showing up if they wanted. We had very few meetings.

Technically the stand-up would have been a meeting. But since it was our choice, we would have probably considered it a conversation, as it was not some uncontrollable schedule bomb, but our way of getting the day started.
Austria is regularly criticized for doing this through such measures and others (pushing people into early retirement as well).

A longer German blurb about this study is here:
https://www.agenda-austria.at/oesterreich-das-land-der-verst...

They claim 250,000 hidden unemployed for 220,000 "official" unemployed for Q1 2013, i.e., the official figures would be off by a factor of more than 2. But they don't say how many of those hidden unemployed are in training courses. Maybe the full study does say, I can't be bothered.
Bluetooth class 3 is 1 mW peak power, class 2 is 2.5 mW peak power. Those are the most relevant for a headset.

For a cell phone, the peak power for 2G is 2W, while for 4G/LTE it's 200 mW.

Those are peak transmit power. In practice the actual power will be lower for BT. For cellular it depends very much on the frequency band used. For low band the phone will mostly be far from the peak. For high bands the device will mostly be at peak power or close most of the time.

As far as I'm aware it is mainly used for feeding fish in fish farms. So farmed Salmon etc all rely on krill fishing.

The notion of countries "racing" against each other measured by money is a distraction. If you accept that framing, you lost all that matters anyway, what happens further within that framing is of no real import.

As for wisdom:

> The salvation of the world depends only on the individual whose world it is. At least, every individual must act as if the whole future of the world, of humanity itself, depends on him. Anything less is a shirking of responsibility and is itself a dehumanizing force, for anything less encourages the individual to look upon himself as a mere actor in a drama written by anonymous agents, as less than a whole person, and that is the beginning of passivity and aimlessness.

-- Joseph Weizenbaum

Instead the US is using Russia, China and the EU, and the EU is using the US, Russia and China, and Russia and China are using the EU and the US, as excuse move away from that, and anything remotely resembling responsibility or wisdom. Though I shouldn't say "$country is doing", because that framing too is a trap and a distraction. At any rate, there is no difference between an American, European or Chinese drone, the winner of the rat race is still a rat, and what remains [as in: remains as step we haven't taken but won't get around] is that we can't look people like Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, and countless others in the eye, not for real, while worshipping what they considered secondary.

But youth per se has nothing to do with it. Not all youth are spineless, not all old people are wise. Not by a long shot. Though I think the dice fall early on; either you get captured, or you resist all attempts and get stronger, but breaking out after having been captured is probably way harder. Though maybe it carries the biggest rewards, too. That's what people like Einstein, Arendt, Weizenbaum, Chomsky and others have in common I think, they never got broken. Chomsky hides it well, but I think even he hasn't lost contact with his "inner child". I know plenty people who lost it in their teens and twenties, and nothing makes a person "old" in the bad sense more quickly than that.
This might make sense if your engineering team finishes the roadmap and then reduces tech debt to a level they are comfortable with... but since I'm sure that's not the case, you should be happy with 2/5ths of their time.
It might have had some bugs but it was still working for most of us and doing what was needed...i.e. play the media files from local storage........why on the world you decided to remove it ?
Sounds like you had a battle of ego's within yourselves and Amazon and wanted to show that you had more POWERRRRRRRRR!!!
How will this play out as the workforce ages? Will Chinese employers engage with older tech workers more effectively than their U.S. counterparts? Or will they continue to be ageist and complain loudly about a talent gap?

That means that you either have to provide an LTE connection for every customer, which would entirely defeat the purpose of your main connection, or your customers would need to have their own LTE connection, which would entirely defeat the purpose of your service in general.
I want them to piss off.
This isn't what the hardcore Bitcoin proponents want, though. They think Bitcoin is a revolutionary piece of technology that will replace fiat currency. This is just a big bank recognizing an opportunity to make money by speculating on price changes.
That sounds nice, but doesn't work in practice. When it only takes one person to call a meeting, the larger your company gets, the more likely it is that somebody will think a meeting is useful. This is made worse by the way larger companies tend to rely more on power structures, so it's considered bad for a low-status person to say no to a high-status person.

The "anthropic theories" aren't really something you can be skeptical about in the normal sense of skepticism, unless I'm misunderstanding your point.
I'm not sure how this addresses the above statement. A cellphone must emit radiation to work, but surely it also manages EMI.
Except that it wasn't classified as a private IP address. They should've use something like 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, or 192.168.0.0/16.

The 1.0.0.0/8 range was owned by IANA from _1981_ up until 2010, when it was transfered to APNIC. (The 2.0.0.0/8 range was also owned by IANA until 2010, thentransfered to RIPE NCC).

If you want to get technical, use of the space could be construed as theft.

As for the continuity issue, it was stated that it was an old device, so they have no responsibility to continue supporting it, and considering the age of the device in question, it may not be able to connect to the existing network.
A forum is nearly there. With open source, all you need is a third party plugin to turn it into what you want:

How to do Android development faster without Gradle
For what it's worth I find largely the opposite. Getting out of the house, the physical break of traveling from point A to point B, entering the "Working Place" with its "Work Computer" and "Work Desk" etc. all gets me focused on work. Home is too full of distractions, everything from chores that should be done, to personal projects on my computer, to that interesting magazine article I've been meaning to read lying on my desk.

The corollary to this is that it makes leaving Work at the end of day a lot easier. Once I leave the physical building where Work is done I am no longer working.

Having Home separated, both physically and mentally, from Work makes both more easy to focus on.
You are definitely wrong. No daemons have to be running, ping operates using standard ICMP echo messages that are a part of any complete IP stack. Any meaningful OS will respond to pings unless prevented from receiving them by a firewall. It wouldn't surprise me to find that some embedded implementations skip that part for size reasons, but even in that category most devices I have available to me still respond. It's a basic network connectivity diagnostic tool.

What is unfortunately common though is people blocking ICMP at their firewall, either at the host level itself or further upstream. Sometimes they just block echo requests, but often they block ICMP entirely which breaks things in very weird ways from time to time.

Blocking ICMP in any way is generally to be considered harmful. It's not 1997 anymore, the "ping of death" is not a thing on any OS you should actually be connecting to the internet.
How racist or otherwise Donnie is is largely irrelevant in this case; the reality is, his policies make it more difficult for people to hold international conferences in the US, so they're beginning to go elsewhere. I don't see what's so hard to grasp about this.

That is in fact precisely what it is designed for.
It's funny when developers themselves think effort is so fungible. Like if you spent 1 hour on A, then you would've also made 1 hour of progress on B, C, or D, and that it would've been worthwhile. To the point of fallacy in your post.

I would think developers have the experience to realize this isn't true but I see it all the time on these forums.
Anyone thinking of outsourcing product engineering should try it. American engineers aren't in any danger.
Very handy and helpful resource. The grid code it produces is clean, clear, and provides me a great starting point to build upon. Good work here.
I don't smoke, I'm at a healthy weight and I exercise. I've got that covered. Why would you call me obsessed if I want to know if my mobile phone is unhealthy?

You're comparing "most people"'s long-term, chosen, known unhealthy habits against a new phenomenon which has less flexibility and more unknowns. It's form a of whataboutism.
Ok but that sort of takes away the entire argument that .io "belongs" to these people somehow. It doesn't, it's purely a political issue. It's not some natural resource or anything they'd have claim to otherwise. (And seems that Mauritius might have claim, meaning no extra ccTLD.)

It's fine if people want to raise awareness to Brits behaving badly. But saying .io should go to those people is misleading.
This is false negatives vs false positives territory. Outliers can get caught in the crossfire - nothing new.
Europe Security Agency: The Value of Personal Online Data
The idea that the multiverse can continue to expand at the incredible rate that would be required based on the idea as stated always made it seem implausible to me. Furthermore, it bothers me that the idea discards the notion of probability inherent in quantum mechanics, since everything that can happen, does.

A more sane model for me is to imagine the state of the universe as a quantized distribution over a set of set of states with finite measure. This is sort of like the multiverse in that the wavefunction doesn't "collapse" but instead reality "branches." Unlike the multiverse, branches are constantly being created and dying off, since the information content of the universe is conserved. This also preserves the probability derived from the wavefunction - states are kept or discard based on their probability.

Area FI1D, Northern and Eastern Finland, is the largest NUTS2 region by land area you see on this map. It covers about two thirds of Finland (>200 000 km², about 3 times the size of Republic of Ireland), and has a population of 1.29 million people. Unemployment is ~10 %. Population density is a bit over 5/km²

This area is not very significant in terms of number of people, unemployed or not, but it is very visible on the map (also due to map projection which enlarges northern areas).

(The four NUTS2 regions in continental Finland have roughly the same population, the fifth one Ahvenanmaa/Åland has a population of 30,000 people).
Creating one may not be hard, but having it be used/accepted will be. If you look down CoinMarketCap you’ll see hundreds of “currencies” that are either illiquid or nearly worthless.
That's a performance comparison that ignores all other aspects such as simplicity, readability, and ease of maintenance. It also shows Jackson coming in last for parsing small files.

Same in Italy. What a shame.
So much of the core mechanics of SO relies on SEO and a community of volunteer moderators, neither if which really exist in a corporation.

I suppose if a company had a paid librarian function, this could be successful. But in that case, even a normal wiki would probably work.

I seem to remember an article from Joel or Jeff many years ago describing why this exact model won't work. Can't seem to find it now though.

Actually this brings up one of the things I like the most about this SO for Teams idea - it could also be used as a sort of slant.co substitute, where a large dev team is trying to settle on a common programming language or persistence framework, and each person can register their opinion or vote on an existing one.

After N days, the whole group decides to select the option with the most votes. Since voting is anonymous, everyone can give their honest opinion, or even vote for multiple.

If you don't like the "opinion-based" close reason, you can just not use it on your team.
If I remember right CrossCode[1] is using it. Fun game but another case of near endless beta.

Has there ever been a self-hosted wiki that was good? I'm only half joking - we've been through a few of them, and never found anything that was easy enough to use that people actually would. And thus everything gets shoved into email, and perpetually lost.

I'm actually kind of excited about the idea of an internal StackOverflow. Of course, people would have to actually use it, and that battlefield is littered with the shattered corpses of a million productivity and communication and social tools.
Yes, but I thought that interpreting "Americans" as including those not eligible to vote was too uncharitable in context and possibly in violation of the HN injunction to respond to the strongest possible interpretation of a comment.

I was going for "the strongest possible, but no stronger".
I don't think they mean analog cell phones, but analog cordless phones. Which would be much more in use.

This isn't that surprising when you break it down.

While it's rarely thought about or discussed - Toronto isn't a small little town in Canada. It's the 4th largest city in North America. Bigger than Chicago, Houston and Philadelphia.

Combine that with the fact that the Canadian dollar is weak and you've got the perfect match for tech companies.

This is great if the whole company agrees on the no meeting day. If every team has a different day, and I have to hold a cross-team meeting, then at least one person will have to violate their no-meeting day.

I try my best to respect people’s preferences but if by some miracle I’ve found a time slot that is actually free for the other 6 participants but happens on your “no meeting day” I’m going to regrettably have to schedule it then.

> But on approaching his manager, the upskilling request was denied.

Bad way to go about it anyways. The best way is to change companies if possible (granted, one will have to put in their own time to learn or do it quietly at their current job). If the company is good about intra-company movement, it might be possible to do this within the company, but often the companies that can do this come off as too large to have the flexibility one needs to really dive in as opposed to getting lost in the fray (you'll feel like you're a junior all over again). Unfortunately, mobility is the antithesis of stability.
