I don't think managing your manager is a healthy way to think of things. You are there to support your company and team, and your manager enables this larger picture and should return support to every employee, including you. I think, as in most things, you need some empathy for his/her position and try to come to a common understanding. Talks are a fantastic way to boost your resume and soft skills, and they help you as an employee better practice talking to your team and enable you to better represent your team's ideas in big meetings with a crowd of stakeholders. Your manager should be sympathetic to this and be happy that you're passionate. On the other hand, when you speak at a conference, you are representing your company. If you say stupid things in your talk, you not only hurt yourself, but your company's reputation. I think the default policy at many big companies is to get explicit permission for each and every public thing you do like this, but usually managers just look the other way because its easier. Its possible your manager just wants to go by the book and not deal with the overhead of company policy, so the answer is no. You may want to discuss specifically why your manager isn't allowing you to present, and politely explain that you think it will level you up as an employee to be an even greater asset. Maybe suggest that you run the talk by them to make them feel better about what your are presenting, and even ask if its OK that you speak to HR or corporate to get the company's ground rules and make the extra time and effort in this regard so your manager doesn't have to.
Seems weird to discriminate against adoptive parents... I understand the reasoning but seems weird. It would probably be better to have a medical policy applicable to everyone.
I'm guessing that DAU in this context means 'daily active users'?
I think part of the problem with software is that it's effectively invisible to most people. Most of our software would look like Rube Goldberg Machines if we somehow made it physically manifest, and a lot of the problems would then be pretty obvious even to the proverbial untrained eye.
Competitive angle aside, Vue deserves all the stars it gets.

It's a pleasure to work with and a much needed tool in the frontend landscape. The more mindshare it gets the better for everyone.

>I am asking this because I was recently asked by my manager not to give talks in really difficult to get in industry events, despite of getting an acceptance.

This is dumb. They are just afraid of losing you, possibly because you are under-compensated and they know it. Conventions are networking opportunities and you'll likely get approached if you make yourself available at a convention like this.

There may be a corporate reason (you showing up as an employee at a questionable convention), but you should have the freedom to go as an individual and not represent the company.

If my manager asked me to do that, I'd be on my way out.

As far as managing better managers goes: be honest, admit mistakes, give suggestions for improvement, and there is almost no management to be done. If they begin to rely on you too much without giving you something in return, talk it out to see if they can spread the burden or give you more pay.
This sucks! I'm so sorry to hear man. I've spent a lot of time with people who are homeless, which has caused me to think about this very question though I haven't had to put any of this into practice so grain of salt.

- Get a membership to a cheap gym so you can use their shower (and potentially wifi) if the shelter doesn't work out. In many areas it's possible to get a membership for $10-20/month. Clean your clothes in the shower with you.

- Try really hard not to feel desperate during interviews. We make worse decisions when desperate. Easier said than done :(

- You may need to buy a laptop, which will suck, but hopefully you can find something good enough and very cheap on Craigslist? If you can't get a laptop, consider public library or internet cafes (if those exist there).

- Food is going to be tough. Canned beans will become a close friend. Also canned soups/stews. Peanut butter, cheap produce. You may be able to find edible plants nearby. Free samples at grocery stores? Bulk sunflower seeds are cheap. Lifted most of these food ideas from a thread on reddit btw.
I systematically blocked all posts from news sites after the Trump election; I don't need to hear about the same outrages a dozen times over every day. Facebook got a lot less stressful - the amount of actual content posted by my friends about their own lives turns out to be fairly minimal, too, so I can catch up on Facebook in 10-15 minutes and then simply get on with everything else.
Would probably make for more interesting game AI and pathfinding behavior for sure.

The whole post is really about understanding what the boss wants, but #3 is something more specific so I want to iterate more on it:

A lot of people want to help their boss and have a reciprocal relationship. But the mere desire is not enough - you have to have the "street smarts" to be trusted. If you don't know what sort of things will get your boss into trouble with their boss then even if you have a good relationship its unlikely you'll get significant leeway. You are likely to cause problems out of ignorance and a tight leash is to protect you from that.
Maybe people could just stick with one frigging thing for more than 12 months? I'm sick to death of Javascript churn. Polish one thing up until it is actually done before chasing some shiny new half-baked thing like a cat with a laser pointer. A slightly different spin on MVC concepts from twenty or thirty years ago doesn't get me out of bed, much less rewriting my front-end code more often than I file my taxes.

The Sistine Chapel was mainly painted by a single individual.

(for the record, Michelangelo had apprentices to help him mix plaster, etc. But he phased them out when it came to painting. Traditionally master painters had apprentices which would paint with them, but he would rather avoid the differences in opinion and arguments while painting the chapel. He had the vision and the skill. I think that’s the case here as well. Not saying Evan is Michaelangelo, but he does have a good vision with his product and the skill to execute on it.)

I'm not convinced that OP needs a laptop but a $100-150 old Thinkpad or low end Chromebook will get you pretty far these days.
I organized a "bad ideas hackathon" at work last year, and it was AWESOME to start with the premise that we were deliberately setting out to build bad ideas. It freed everyone from the shackles of perfectionism, and the teams came up with a whole bunch of devilishly terrible (but working!) projects in a single day. Highly recommended.
A few points come to mind:

1) It is none of your company's business what you do in your spare time, as long as you don't attach their name to it. However, if you are going to events to give talks using their name, their funding, or with time you have committed to them, then they do have some say in it. Whether or not their requests are reasonable comes down to the next point...

2) As other comments have said, "managing your manager" implies a mismatch in the relationship. You should have open communications with your manager, and be able to talk through both positive and negative aspects of your situation. That isn't easy for all people, but if you approach it as a communication problem to resolve, it is easier to be positive about the process.

3) If you sincerely try to improve communications, negotiate perspectives, and just aren't able to get to a place where things are going well, you have a choice to make: Live with it, or leave. If you choose to live with it, that is when a 'thick skin' comes into play.
Does this mean Nativescript will be on the rise?
>OP feels going to the conference is a must, "a given", a "constitutional right", and that the manager "wronged" him by not letting him go. It's a very childish way of viewing the world.

OP's employer does not own them - they have a right to a private life.

While they certainly could not want OP identifying themselves as an agent of their employer when giving a talk, OP is entitled to use their free time / vacation days as they see fit.

I'm a MBP user but i just setup a new Windows work computer yesterday. No kidding it took me 10+ hours to get all the drivers and customisation done.

I also had an XPS 13 I bought 10 years ago. I really loved it as it was great hardware at the time- but it actually fell apart in a few years as they are made with cheap plastic. Their build quality might be a bit higher than other laptops, but if you're after MBP quality the Surface Pro/Books are the next best thing.

Your job should not have to include managing your manager. Your manager’s job includes preventing this situation from happening. If you find yourself spending too much time on this (and you can’t fix it by bringing it up), you should find a new manager.

Show HN: Can’t Sleep App – AI composed music sleep app for iOS

Hey HN, Founder here. Can’t Sleep is an iOS app that helps individuals to fall asleep faster and wake up feeling fresh. This is achieved through music which is easy, convenient and has no side effects. What makes this app unique is that you can enable/disabled elements of the music, and this personalisation makes the music more effective. The music is then composed in realtime using algorithms, so it never repeats, never gets boring and is never distracting. The app has been presented at the Australian Music Psychology Society, run through CEA’s Collider Accelerator and has won an award from MIT. If you decide to download the app, let me know what you think here -> https://goo.gl/RgHrXZ
Now that I’m done with the pitch, my about me and why? I’ve been working on Can’t Sleep App part-time for the past 4 years now. I have a research interest in how everyday use of music can improve quality of life, and a background in generative/interactive music. Currently I am doing my PhD in music psychology specializing in music as a sleep aid (with the app as a side hustle). I built Can’t Sleep because I think there are opportunities to create music that is different from what we usually hear. Specifically, combining evidence based music, interactive music and music as a “tool”…and also maybe biofeedback/ externally trigger music. I personally really look forward to the development of this niche as the technology & music research improve, and as we as listeners shift our mindset around how we engage with music. What do you think?

There's a bit of a bet going on in Apple's mindset. For most people, USB drives are no longer a thing (Dropbox, mail-to-self, etc.), so why put ports in the front? If they're in the back you can set up your keyboard cable or w/e nicely and keep those out of the way.

_If_ your USB usage is not 'often plugging/unplugging stuff into the port', then having the ports in the back is better for usability and the like.

Of course this doesn't work if the bet they make is wrong (see MBP dongles)
They're only asserting that some economists could get away with being "BS artists," so inevitably, some do. Obviously that hurts the study of economics as a whole, because if you can get away with BS, that means people can't tell what is and is not BS, so non-BS looks like BS and has to compete on points other than merit.

The existing victims are irrelevant; the idea is that by reducing the supply, demand will also diminish.

Communities that end up decimated by drugs tend to have had easy access to them in the years earlier. Drugs and porn both fulfill a cycle of progressively weaker dopamine rushes.

Once a user gets to the point where they need the hard stuff, theyll eventually need harder and this drives demand for further proliferation and production of new content-- the worst possible outcome is the increase of both consumers and producers in the market.

Odd that there is no mention of the analysis on AvE YouTube. The support structure used was substantially different from the one planned and it was the post tensioning process that triggered the failure. It is possible that using the planned supports might have allowed the structure to endure the post tensioning procedure.

Certainly there are downsides to any setup, but due to React Native's large ambitions I'm unsure if it could have ever been created by an independent community. There is a lot of work that goes into it and the abundant availability of complex real-world problems (to a greater extent than I've seen anywhere else) spurred by this setup pushes React Native to be a more capable project.
Comparisons in Google Trends are extremely easy to manipulate (or just interpret wrong). The ".js" you added to Vue is killing its results, and the generic term "react" is propping that one up.

Or maybe one community uses their respective primary domain more than the other for one reason or another.

React also has more than 4x as many dependent packages in npm, which could be propping up its install count.

I spent 13 years, in various capacities, studying architecture and working as an architect.

Bullshit like this reminds me why I don't miss it. Vapid pasted-on "signifiers" that are not merely devoid of sensibility, but aggressively hostile towards it. Engineers fighting to coerce the pastiche into something that won't kill people.

If you're not an architect and you're feeling generous -- like, maybe you're just having your daily dose of Dunning Kruger, and that maybe the architecture profession is like this for a good reason -- don't bother. It's genuinely as idiotic as you think.

> I am asking this because I was recently asked by my manager not to give talks in really difficult to get in industry events, despite of getting an acceptance.

Why?

You have basically two options here: genuinely work towards mutual benefit, or deceive and "manage up" and look out for your own interests while you work on finding a better manager with whom you believe you can genuinely work towards mutual benefit.

Many companies have a rotten culture and no other manager at the company will be really better. Many do not, and the idea of managing your manager is foreign to people who have only worked such places.

If your manager has a good reason (e.g., your talk is likely to reveal trade secrets), work with your manager, who should genuinely want the people they manage to be the best people they can be - including letting them find roles or employers they'd like better, because open headcount is better than continuing to employ an unhappy employee. If your manager is scared of having excellent employees, make plans to leave. Either that manager has internalized this fear, or the company's incentives for managers (i.e., the things on your manager's own performance and compensation review) discourage the manager from helping you grow, and neither of those situations is worth trying to solve. In the first case, you can try an internal transfer if company politics permits it; in the second, you probably need to find another company.

(If you need to deceive, I'd maybe go with something like, the event expected that I'd present and backing out would be bad for our company's reputation, but I'll avoid this in the future. Then go to the event and figure out who's hiring.)
PaX/grsecurity has mitigation to this issue, at least for 10 years.

From grsecurity's config for GRKERNSEC_HARDEN_TTY.

| There are very few legitimate uses for this functionality and it
| has made vulnerabilities in several 'su'-like programs possible in
| the past. Even without these vulnerabilities, it provides an
| attacker with an easy mechanism to move laterally among other
| processes within the same user's compromised session.

Has one run a grsecurity kernel, the system would not be affected.

Some independent developers and KSPP people are also trying to submit this mitigation to the mainline kernel for many years, but so far none of the patch went into the kernel. Since grsecurity is now a private product, you may want to check them out and apply this mitigation to the mainline kernel.
