Thanks for the book! The succinct and direct style of writing makes it easier for me to read. And for some reason, I like reading it from Google Docs.
Not a manager, just an engineer.

I was happiest when my team could just get by with GitHub issues. It was super simple and really easy to work with.

Eventually we used JIRA and Confluence, and it worked fine. Just make sure you keep workflows as simple as possible. I think there exists the temptation to add lots of constraints and requirements when creating and resolving issues, but that just raises the bar for getting actual things done. If reporting something takes more time than actually fixing the bug then your system is broken.
Uganda government bows to pressure, suspends direct social media tax
Aside from the numbers, this has got to be one of the more enlightened approaches I've heard of for doing interviews.

Compare it to some places that think it is good thing to make candidates uncomfortable so they can "see how they work under pressure".
I see absolutely nothing wrong with USB-B or headphone jacks. I'm far from an Apple fanboy, running a Thinkpad with Linux and a Google Pixel 2 (and yes, I am pissed about not having a headphone jack.) I'm not just embracing whatever Apple says. But once I switched all of my machines to HiDPI, I saw the light. This, to me, is not a minor improvement in experience. It is a huge improvement in experience, and in my opinion essential for people who deal with languages that have a more dense script.

These two statements seem to contradict each other. If it's not directly affecting the bottom line today, how would one go bankrupt?

I do agree with you there should be some force pushing to eliminate this negative externality. We could compare poor security practice with toxic waste. In general the force I'm talking about is government that creates smart regulations. You'd like to do it by allowing consumers to sue after the damage has already been done. I'm not going to get into that debate, but both of us have proposed solutions and I agree either would be an improvement over what we have today.

No objections to this! As a very introverted person myself and clearly not against posting comments on the Internet, my intentions here are merely to inspire consideration of challenges in overcoming prejudice.

I love the HN community but I doubt the HN community loves me back. I really struggle with the libertarian Darwinism so popular here. This thread concerns what it might call a weakness but I would call a necessary element in beauty.

It’s like ‘negative space’ in motivation. If we were always inspired, we might not be any different than drones. To lack a sense of purpose or connection with a task is useful to society. It makes a space for connection. When we engage with new things, it can improve our society. But it can also do the opposite; particularly when resources don’t allow for new engagements. Such is the case for homeless people!

Humor is not always funny, and I know my kidding here is not entertaining. I just hope for a better world for my children and I believe in the people of HN to make that possible. I just fear them missing the opportunities to do so in the name of pride and self-justification.

This post gives me hope. And your comment as well, although I know it was meant as a lesson. And to be certain, it was that too.

Of course, I dont have answers. I didn't say HiDPI displays that suit everyone's needs is available for cheap. However, the main problem is that everyday people have a lot of 1080p 24" monitors sitting around. There were probably fifty to a hundred at my old office. Because we didn't have any huge size requirements or uncommon aspect ratio needs, we were able to take advantage of HiDPI displays that cost to the order of $100. To me that's a price point the average person can afford. If it causes some folks to have to shell out a lot of money to stay on 16:10 or have a reasonably large monitor, that is a reasonable trade off; most users don't need em, hence why it's difficult to find good 16:10 monitors in the first place, for example.

You should consider purchasing a device from a manufacturer who makes an effort to support Linux on their device. The two big ones at the moment seem to be Purism and System76. Dell also does, but, IIRC, you have to use their bastardized ubuntu kernel crap on their newer systems, at least until proper support has been upstreamed to the kernel (if they can still be bothered to do that.)
You might not need it. I do.
The only HiDPI monitor I'm willing to use is $2000. I consider 60hz to be unacceptable for work.

Résumé/CV: upon request

Email: peter.skvarenina@protonmail.com

I am offering remote freelancing in the area of the very latest distributed Deep Learning and/or DApps. I have experience programming state-of-art 2018 Deep Learning computer vision classification models (DenseNet(-BC), Wide ResNet etc.), reproducing world-class results, running distributed training and hyperparameter optimization (AWS Sage Maker, tf.Estimator), productionalizing Deep Learning microservices (AWS Lambda - Chalice/Serverless, GCF, minikube/kubeless/K8s etc.). Worked on e-commerce DApp prototype in Solidity (no ICO offers please).

World's top-10 US-based college education in Machine Learning/Robotics; nanodegrees from Udacity in Self-driving car, robotics, AI and Deep Learning. Worked for some of the world's best engineering companies already.

Working either on an EU-based contract or spawning a Delaware-based corp for US clients.

I am not cheap and I am good; no-nonsense straight-to-the-point approach, hands-on with low-level details, self-driven, no tech guidance needed, fully accommodating business needs; expecting reliability back.
Possibly, depends on how generic a drone you can get though, it might be possible to trace through the drone purchase and/or serial number. If you don't care about time and are willing to spend a bit of money, you could potentially attach an automatic wifi connecting and uploading raspberry pi or similar to the underside of a random car and just let it drive around. In most cities it'll eventually park near an open wifi. You might want to deploy two or three I guess.
Weren't early versions of docker based on lxc? Not that it matters for the point you are making, but it's just interesting that docker decided to drop lxc, and I'm glad lxc was able to survive (assuming docker folks contributed meaningfully to lxc when they used them...)

> Booting from ZFS seemed like a hassle, without clear benefits.

On FreeBSD, ZFS is a first-class citizen. Root-on-ZFS is something that the installer can do and the bootloader understands. I've used root-on-ZFS through five FreeBSD versions (plus numerous minor versions), all upgraded using freebsd-update, with no issues.

On Linux, ZFS seems to be an addon, so hassles are to be expected.

As for benefits, Boot Environments[0][1] are a great reason for having root-on-ZFS. While I don't personally do this, I can definitely see the appeal of being able to roll back a major OS upgrade.

> There is also the cultural difference. In Python, it's so easy use pip and modules, but if you want something to replace Bash, you need to resist the temptation and only use what's in the standard library.

I don't think it's fair to say that bash programs are not without dependencies, just that the developers (tended to be?) are more thoughtful about portability. For example I've seen scripts that use wget or fall back to curl when it's not available. I've never seen a python script fall back to urllib3 when requests wasn't available on the system.

ZFS was supposed to be the default file system on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). I know this because I talked to some engineers at Apple, but the external evidence is that Time Machine clearly was built as a ZFS snapshot explorer and manager.

Sadly, they had to drop the whole thing because of the murky licensing on ZFS.

I sometimes dream of a world with a ZFS root partition on my MacBook Pro...

Had a friend who stayed in a hotel near a National Park in China. Hotel had a great website, was built in the last 5 years, and had occupancy during the high season.

Friend arrives, and turns out he is the only guest in a 400 room hotel, being tended to by 20+ staff. The lobby looks really nice, but upon getting to the room he notices there is no window. No room above floor 1 has any windows, but apparently the exterior of the hotel had perfect fake windows for every room.

That's sad, yet beautiful in some way.

Well, I'm not, and neither is Apple, because we are not the common case. I, too, have my Thinkpad docked all the time, connected to two external monitors that are 96 DPI. That does not mean I do not support the move past 96 DPI, I absolutely do despite the extra cost, because I do have HiDPI setups and after having one I have little interest in putting any more money into low DPI equipment.

This is horrible "feel good" legislation that relies on bad science, and doesn't address any of the major root causes of coral degradation, such as agricultural and industrial run off, ocean temperature, and acidity etc. One can easily disprove these studies with even basic high school concepts such as density, and at what level is something a poison. The idea that sunscreen diluted in the ocean at levels approaching a couple parts per trillion is toxic is laughable. One can easily think of a myriad of ways to test and disprove this hypothesis. The people of Hawaii should be ashamed of their political leadership and inept legislation without addressing true root cause.

I attended community college for a few years before transferring to a 4-year university. During that time I took a variety of technical and non-technical courses that I really enjoyed and felt I got a lot of value from due to the small class sizes and ability to connect with professors outside of class fairly easily. I would have stopped after getting my Associate’s degree as I felt like I had learned a lot and I had next to zero debt from my education, and it was around that time I really got into programming and software development which is what I now do for a living.

The only reason I went on to a bigger school was familial pressure and the idea that I’d be pretty much doomed without a Bachelor’s degree or better. I left with a large amount of debt (my family fell into the space of too much for grants and not enough to pay out of pocket) and honestly didn’t really like my 4-year experience nor do I feel like it added much to the value of my life, either in practical or intrinsic terms. I get that my experience is anecdotal but I wonder how many other people would have been in the same boat.
