> I agree disagreement is practically unavoidable, but a disagreement need not become a fight.

To some extent I think we're just using the words differently. What I would say is that a fight doesn't have to get ugly. It's still a fight, though, if one person wants one thing to happen in the relationship, and the other wants something different to happen; it's more than just a factual disagreement — it requires resolution. This may be a matter of one person recognizing that they're being self-centered and backing down, or it may require both people pressing their arguments until a compromise or, better, a creative resolution is found. A fight doesn't require shouting, but it may require saying "I'm angry about this".

Compassion and empathy are critical for fighting well, but they don't eliminate the need to fight, on occasion. Nor do fights have to be about the same things over and over — they do tend to be repetitive, though, when people fight dirty, as nothing is ever really resolved.
The Truth about Electric Airplanes [video]
How does this compare to workers in general? In every other field I've worked, I'd say at least half of the people are burned out but in tech employees have a lot more mobility with respect to their employer. I'm curious how strongly the large difference in the burnout survey between companies correlates to where they are located. I assume companies with large portions of their workforce located in the SV/NY/SEA metros are less burned out in general because they face less risk trying to find another employer.
Or prosecution for people who's job it is to properly take care of people in their charge, when those people aren't allowed to take care of themselves.
This might be very helpful. Will subscribing to 'blockchain' get me everything from 'bitcoin'? How are topics identified, seeing as HN doesn't have native tagging?
> Widespread hatred for Muslims existed long before widespread usage of Facebook in Myanmar.

This is true, unfortanatly. I lived in the Ayeyarwady Delta from 2010 - 2014, and saw a level of hatred that was very hard for me to understand. Facebook didn't really start to take off (at least in the rural area I was in) until the end of that period.

I was at a community event were a DVD of mostly raw footage from the violence in Rakine, South Thailand, and I think a few other places, was shown. It was set to a pounding rock soundtrack, and intersperse with fiery Bhuddist monks preaching against Muslims. It had the most horrific shocking footage I'd ever seen or immagined and left me with nightmares for years afterwards. I'll spare you the details.

The room was full of regular village people, elders, and children, cheering it on as if it was a football match. They told me that while the army was still in power, they would have cracked down on these DVDs, but when I was there you could freely buy them on any street corner.

Anyway, my country (the US) and other places have been through this kind of hatred (more or less) in the past too, and we overcame it. I hope that the people of Myanmar can too.
I truly recommend CMU's Andy Pavlov's video lectures on the topic (and also more advanced stuff)

That could be it but that sounds much less concerning than how the guy at INL who was telling me about it described it. He may have enhanced the story. :-)
Until recently it was a federal misdemeanor of minor import. There really is no reason to run excessive immigration centers from a logistical standpoint in a modern society. It's a legacy concept from days when things like air travel were not readily available to the masses.

You assume that there NEEDS to be some kind of border enforcement. It's not clear why that needs to include detention camps, armed guns, tent cities for children, no logistical support for reuniting asylum seekers with their children, or intimidation tactics.

That is, unless you think South Americans are fundamentally different and less worthy than their North American cousins in some axiomatic way that says, "Only the top N% of you are worthy of joining our society." This is especially true because the US really doesn't have substantial social services (or those that we do have are teetering on the edge of collapse) to fund compared to other first world countries who proportionally spend much more of their budget on entitlements.

Seriously? What makes YOU more entitled to be here than someone else? The answer is: there are probably many people who'd like to be here that would have similar positive (or negative) impacts on society. It's only because of implicit exceptionalism in American culture that we assume there is chaff to filter out.
Okay. The issue is who is control of the data, individuals who live and generate that data, or companies who collect and share it with out their customers' knowledge and understanding?
You are correct. Look at wikichip for details.

It's easier to stand your ground when you're young, single, and mobile (which I was at the time).

As a medical student you might see something unethical or negligent happen during rotations, but even speaking up could risk your career (superiors give you a bad eval, this affects residency applications down the line). This hasn't happened to me personally, but you hear stories from other students with all kinds of actions and outcomes. So I really feel ya there. There isn't a one size fits all walk off point because stakes are always different.

Good luck on your FIRE plans!
I have to give it to FB - it's impressive how does their personal information collection and inference work. I was recently called by their recruiter - despite me being off FB for a few years, with inactive LinkedIn profile and keeping my current career info offline, they were perfectly informed what I am up to. Google messaged me as well. It's pretty amazing they could figure it out, even if I didn't really hide anything, just wasn't updating my status anywhere for quite a while nor talking to my acquaintances that could leak it through social engineering.
We are interested in going down this path, would love to hear from anyone using it.

Also we need to deploy portable versions of the whole server side offline. Ie in docker or a VM or just on a linux box.

How to Play Jazz: An Overview of Jazz Theory
Depends on what you are trying to prove.

If that "ordinary men following orders and under expectation can be total bastards" then it's just Milgram's experiment all over again which result is itself obvious for any historian.

And if you are trying to prove that "ordinary men in position of power in jail setting spontaneously become total bastards" then the experiment is crap for that purpose if guards were encouraged to behave that way.

I don't think anybody doubts human capacity for cruelty.

The thing that Zimbardo built celebrity status on crap experiment and he still is a scientist and people give weight to his opinions on other psychology related subjects rubs some people the wrong way, I guess.
Well said. I think it's instinctual to want to believe there is some intrinsic, insurmountable difference between us and them (people who do morally repugnant things). At the heart of it, it's tribalism.

This quote from Solzhenitsyn springs to mind. I have always kept it close to heart:

>If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
> "And you'll agree that as a truly pervasive set of assumptions, it's pretty much a liberal Western, even American, tradition, won't you? Think how strange this Doctrine of Otherness would seem to an ancient Roman, or to the dynastic Chinese who thought the world revolved around Beijing, or to Tudor England, or to most of the peoples of the world today."

it falls apart there, for me. I don't know what those other cultures appreciated. perhaps it was the case that every human in those societies were were entirely anti-other.. but I feel like it must have been the case that there were aspects of non-(ancient)-chinese culture that the Chinese appreciated, and adopted... else, we'd not have had any cultural exchange, ever
I don't know how to reconcile this post with previous posts of their's where they talk about using brotli. https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/tag/brotli/
No, I think you've lost the plot of this subthread. I'm not making a comparative argument about which civilization is better. I'm saying that Cortes didn't rescue Central America so much as perpetrate a genocide on it. We're talking about a movie, for what it's worth.
I'd argue that the constant need for attention by Slack, co-workers, management, email, meetings, phone etc. is also taking its toll.
Well, pretty obviously, if your use case satisfies (most of) the following prerequisites, there is no reason to chose JSON over pickle:

- you need to serialise arbitrary objects
- you both read and write only using Python
- your transfer protocol handles binary data (as opposed to plain text)
- you don't need the serialisation to be human-readable
- you want to be able to handle any Python type
- you don't want to write your own serialization rules

JSON is "safer" only if you have full control over deserialization.

> Some companies had more burnout than others in the survey. Credit Karma had the highest rate, with over 70% of employees saying they were burnt out. Netflix was the lowest at around 39%.

Interesting. I've heard that Netflix is a very high stress place, I would have imagined more burnout... although maybe those people just end up leaving? I could see having a revolving door of people coming and going with a low tenure having a low burnout number just because many people don't stay long enough to burn out or once they're burned out?

One thing about tech is at least you get paid well, so that if you need to take some time off between jobs that is more possible than with many other careers.
Yes. Roads can service vehicles used by terrorists or invading armies. Roads are a necessary evil that should be heavily moderated, and any road makers must be held accountable to who uses their roads.
Most citizens are not net contributors to welfare. It sounds like you dislike welfare, not immigrants.

People who come here legally and illegally are just like you and me, wanting the same things, to work, live, and provide a better future for their children. They are human beings.

But I get it... freedom and markets when it benefits you and exclusion and socialism when it doesn’t.
All pleasure is mine! Also, glad that you like the Life of Boris :D (in the blog post)!
Much of what I've read about this, including Zimbardo's rebuttal linked above, makes it sound much more like Milgram's studies on willingness to do cruel things if you're told to. While I don't doubt that putting people in positions of power can often bring out their bad sides, that doesn't mean that this experiment was a great way of showing that, not least because it is intrinsically difficult to replicate.
Of all YouTube feats you pick suggestions? On my side they tend to be terrible
The amount of click bait in this title is outstanding. Oh and I have to accept some privacy agreement to even read the article? How does this horse shit even get to the front page.
Why do other people's motivations bother you? I'm disgusted by all kinds of things, too, but other people wanting to go after certain kinds of work because it pays well isn't one of them. Seriously, first world problems there.

I fucking hate JIRA and how my current company uses it and that's why I'm leaving. Well, one reason, anyhow. I feel like a damn ticket monkey. Scrum masters should all be taken out and pushed into a ravine.
What about peers?
When Simon Peter (the author) actually filed an issue for a GNOME change that he found unhelpful, and gave use-cases and invited people to give use-cases as to why the change needed reverting, the change was reverted: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/437

GNOME prefers that people hop onto their IRC (which is not logged so, unfortunately, people can't easily reference previous progress made) but filing GitLab issues also works. There's the gnome-design IRC for trying to create change to the Human Interface Guidelines. In the Nautilus IRC I suggested trying a GNOME Forum to try and collect design feedback better but they say they've tried this before and there weren't enough people willing to maintain it so the forum died. The problem is that GNOME devs get so much outright abuse for their design decisions that it's too unpleasant for them to engage with the community and, because their devs are nearly all volunteers (bar, like, two Red Hatters (one being the Files lead)), there's no-one paid to engage with the community like there is in, say, snapcraft (who have engaged with criticism very well in my opinion, even if they haven't outright capitulated to demand (which I think is a bad idea anyway since you then end up flip flopping constantly because the outrage is always against the status quo (KDE has this problem (https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/plasma-devel/2018-June/086117...) also see Ubuntu - outrage against Unity 7 was cited in Shuttleworth's comments on why Unity was scrapped ('In the community, our efforts were seen fragmentation not innovation.' https://blog.ubuntu.com/2017/04/05/growing-ubuntu-for-cloud-...) https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/external-repositories/1760 https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/disabling-automatic-refresh-for...). So criticism against GNOME is never engaged with and the rage continues... Still, if you want to try and get the GNOME team onboard, I highly recommend hopping onto their IRC and constructively arguing with them. Arguing here will not change the situation because they don't read pages like this, at least, that's what they were saying in the Nautilus IRC, they want to get on with the task at hand https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/IRC

Admittedly, people like Carlos (the Files lead) do read the GNOME Reddit, so maybe that's the closest thing to a GNOME forum and you could thus try posting there about your gripes with GNOME :) https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/ In fact, this article has been posted on the Reddit recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/gnome/comments/8shfiu/make_it_simpl... I suggest commenting there to try and make more progress :)
OrbitalATK (now part of Northrop Grumman) is bidding Omega, which has a big solid first stage, for EELV2.
The uncut video made it sound like a motivation for replicating the research was to see if the number of secondary vortices were a function of the velocity; however, it's not clear if that was ever determined.

Hopefully these videos and the specially built machine helps additional scientists to study this effect and come up with more answers and conclusions about what's going on here, as it still seems largely shrouded in mystery.
Sure. And it's a tradeoff. The Tor and MPTCP projects came to mind, because I trust them. And there aren't many others that I trust.

My problem is that I prefer Debian stable, which is very conservative about package updates. But sometimes I end up using Ubuntu, because its repo includes newer packages.

Also, my core systems do not include anything except stable Debian. I only use third-party repos in project-specific VMs. I even use Oracle's MySQL Workbench in an Ubuntu VM. And even Windows 10 VMs, when I need Excel or other Windows-only apps. That is, compartmentalization.
Most of the people in the Milgram experiment knew it was fake.

For Postgres at least, you can literally ask it how a query works, via EXPLAIN. Now, there’s a skill to understanding the output of that, but at least it isn’t a black box.

This makes no sense. No one fights about the weather

And you cannot divorce emotions completely from the things that cause them. This is absurd, and akin to saying that someone with a phobia should just rationally analyze it and the problem will go away.
Your concern about the opaque and abstract layers below you apply to language compilers as well (which I think is the "better" alternative you seem to prefer).

There is literature legion on the implementation of the database that would assuage you, should you concern yourself with reading it. I don't think you need to. Trust that many many smart people have engineered many many decades of excellent software.

That is, not to say, that you won't need to peek below or concern yourself with certain choices -- indices, commits, columnar-vs-row, etc. as your performance or access patterns dictate.

More importantly, the relational model is still the gem that shines as a beacon to model logic and data and is too often undervalued due to its association with 'enterprise software' and the implementation language (SQL is a bit warty).
No, it is pressure and culture that requires long hours. People are able to do job for money for years without being burned out, no matter what job.

I would even say that being in job for money only makes you less likely to burn out - because you are more likely to take time off and not take it personally when things break.
This is also something I've been wondering about. I've been trying to nudge my workplace to start moving to a containerized infrastructure, but this has been one of my nagging questions I've had. Admittedly I haven't done much research on the subject though.

I currently have a swarm cluster on DigitalOcean that I use for self hosting apps. And, only one of those required migrating the database before it could be deployed, so to get it running I just spun it up on one of the nodes and only connecting the database container to the data volume I was going to have it connect to in the swarm, migrated the db, then killed the containers and then deployed it to the swarm. But, as I was doing it I realized this would hardly be maintainable/enjoyable method of handling this in any non-personal/production environment.
Exactly. To build a private road you need government cooperation, there are usually special arrangements for policing roads, governments pay (traffic engineers to pay) attention to the systemic effects of adding roads, etc.

I have no strong opinions either way, but one meta-point I personally find interesting is: why don't journalists send a final draft of an article to the people involved and get a final round of comments? That just seems fair. Zimbardo claims some facts in the article are simply wrong, and either 1) those errors would be corrected, or 2) Zimbardo's response to those claims could stand side-by-side, instead of this bifurcated situation of articles and response articles.

I think it would be even better if these arguments were in a wiki (or git) style instead of a series of articles.
Labo was such a huge hit with my 6 year old. Doesn't even bother me that some items got crunched later -- the joy she had building those things is far better than I expected. And the crunched items still mostly work.

And is true. Governments reserve the power to take off-air radio stations inciting violence, any new mode of transportation is heavily studied and regulated before going into widespread use, etc.
Yes, the price of fossil fuel use does not include the full impact costs.

The IMF report at http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/wp/2015/wp15105.pdf estimates:

> Post-tax energy subsidies are dramatically higher than previously estimated—$4.9 trillion (6.5 percent of global GDP) in 2013, and projected to reach $5.3 trillion (6.5 percent of global GDP) in 2015.

Secondary articles on the topic at https://www.pri.org/stories/2015-06-07/imf-true-cost-fossil-... and http://priceofoil.org/fossil-fuel-subsidies/ .

That's about $800/person for the world's population.
Well, it looks full of dark UX patterns (and possibly it is a GDPR breach) as you need to explicitly opt out of the tracking for ads and the option takes forever to load.

Just as a matter of logistics, very few people can have that version of "proper" child care because only so many people are qualified to give it, and there are competing uses for those resources. Feel free to strive for the best, but "the best" is not the only proper thing, lest "proper" be meaningless.
We’re running our blog on Jekyll. Is there any good reason to migrate to Hugo? In the article I’ve found this comment:

Hugo’s key differentiators: 1. Ease of install 2. Speed (critical for large sites) 3. Integrated live-reload while editing in near realtime 4. Multilingual capabilities 5. Flexible 6. Very strong community 7. Very good & comprehensive documentation (but not perfect…yet)

Other than 3., all other points are valid for Jekyll as well. So why move, other than for the sake of just migrating (which can be fun too...)?
A lot of those people get filtered at the college level. Dropout rates appear to be around 40-60% in US and UK. I wonder if those you meet do not have a relevant degree.
What you say sounds like complete opposite to democracy, where wishes of people define the society. If you restrict propagation of information between two people, both wishing to produce / consume it, you (the society) now define what people should wish.

Not necessarily stating that I disagree with your idea, just that it is either it, or democracy, but not both.
There's something similar for SQL Server too.

100% agreed - it's exactly the same pattern as other tools. Write it in the most simple/obvious/maintainable way; then, if you have a performance issue (quite rare IME when building something that doesn't obviously need a database FTE from the outset), spend a few minutes semi-educatedly poking at it to see if you can stumble onto a drastic improvement; then, if not, dive deeper.
I think some of what the previous commentator I have seen people struggle - it was obvious that they had only gone into tech for societal / family reasons.
