Ask HN: How to find an effective career coach?
After 11 years of development career as an individual contributor in some large companies, and team lead for start-up teams, I recently landed in a team-lead position in a company filled with hot political issues, backstabbing, favouritism, tremendous timeline pressures for modernization with little business benefit, executive/director level leaders who have no knowledge of internal working of the system, all experienced folks leaving after change in said execs/director, eccentricity at some levels, and so on. It is such a classic case of the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon for me that threads like [1] and [2] resonate a great deal.

I do not want to turn away from this ecosystem for now mostly because I want to learn how to survive in such a political environment, and partly because if this modernization project gets delivered whenever it is, it will be a very good learning experience for me.

While official and unofficial mentorship is an option from inside the companies, I am not sure if I can cover softer issues like dealing with certain individuals in the mentorship session.

So, I wanted to ask you guys how can I find and approach an effective career coach or a mentor (potentially outside of my company). Any suggestions are more than welcome.

Thanks.

The NSA developed their own networking protocol, separate from TCP or UDP, which operates just above the physical layer.

The idea is that you rewrite the network card firmware so that there’s an NSA MITM running on it. The host computer never knows, because as far as the computer is concerned the network card is sending exactly the data you would expect. And even if you hook up network monitoring tools externally, you wouldn’t be able to notice anything wrong apart from a slightly reduced total bandwidth.

The value of such a tool is that it can be installed remotely, with no physical presence.

They also have all kinds of gadgets to defeat airgaps. IIRC one of them was a replacement keyboard that looks identical to the normal one, but provides the stealth wifi you mention.

One way to get an idea of what the NSA is up to is to look at their job listings. They can fake everything else, but not those.
Walmart had been improving but I don't know why, as big as they are, they don't step up their game.

I ordered somethings last night (Thursday). Walmart and Amazon offered free two day shipping.

Amazon will arrive Sunday...
Walmart Tuesday, with two items arriving Friday. All Walmart items were sold directly by Walmart and not third party.

The fact I even purchased from Walmart is a testament to their competitive pricing s d selection... But shipping... Needs some work.
...I realized Patreon has every right to do this.

Maybe Patreon shouldn’t have that right?
I’ve had terrible martial arts instructors, inept teachers, ineffective professors, one brutal physiotherapist.

"> bare necessities"

That's highly debatable. A good part of the world lives completely fine even without this bare necessity.
We’re not sure exactly what the technicians did to remove the chip – heat gun, maybe? – but it came off cleanly and you wouldn’t notice it was missing unless you were specifically looking for it on the board.

Almost certainly, or more precisely, a "hot air rework station". For someone with experience, it only takes a few minutes to remove and replace BGAs with one.

Good for you and I'm glad that you've got your condition under control.

But no amount of standards and licensing can help one who's slowly killing himself due to their conditons.

If anything, increased red tape will only raise prices and do nothing to the quality of help.

Source: own experience. $/hour never correlates to help/hour, and any regulation just drives $ up, no positive effect on help/$.
I don't think anyone would suggest that there should be perfectly consistent outcomes, rather, on the whole that outcomes should be positive. We know there will be poor performers.

The study is suggesting that 'on the whole', there are negative outcomes, implying that 'most psychotherapists' are just bad at what they do, or more likely, there's a more fundamental issue with the nature of psychotherapy itself.
Sure, but my point was that five million receivers is "millions of receivers", and is an everyday occurrence.
I'm not sure there are many people who know both a Lisp and Haskell and still insist on even comparing them. The conclusion I see most often, when someone tries, is basically that "whatever, both are still centuries ahead of Java".

With a decent macro system you can implement a type-checker (CL, Clojure and Racket do), as sophisticated as you want. But you can also write a type-level interpreter (of Lisp, if you want) which would evaluate programs during compilation (I can't find the post anymore, someone was describing their job interview gone... weird...). The difference between the two, more than with other such comparisons, comes down to aesthetics and cultures.

IOW, you can't infer the lack of ordering based on two items having an ex aequo position.
Ask HN: What is the current state of web frameworks in Golang?
There are quite a few different web frameworks for Go, as well as just the built in `net/http`. Has any one package emerged as more common or standard than others?

What are you currently using? Do you like it?

A1. Independently of their efficacy, each school's explanations of how their therapy approach works range from plausible-but-unproven (some aspects of some CBT approaches) to blatant pseudoscience (EMDR, psychoanalysis). Many constructs used to describe personality and behavior are little more than ad hoc descriptions with no grounding in a more general theory.
Obviously not, but those factors are independent. They arent flying people out for the purpose of finding vegetarian meals.
One could cut much deeper: No accepted view of what the mind and consciousness really are, no model for the mind, no accepted view of 'what normal is', and no real way to truly identify and diagnose most supposed disorders.

For things like schizophrenia maybe we can help.

But for things like 'depression' we're still walking around in the dark, notwithstanding good progress on some specific things.

I think it's always going to be a balance. What happens when you reach the end? It loops. It's either similar to what you already know, or different. Sometimes the differences are almost imperceptible, because believing you know everything about a thing is the same as knowing nothing about it.
Was the old keyboard engineering so bad? I feel like Apple has been fixing what wasn't broken since about 2010, regarding the MBP at least.

Literally all they needed to do was retina screen, upgrade the internals, and add a few USB-C ports. Was anyone ever legitimately inconvenienced by the thickness of the 2010 MBP? I know I was directly inconvenienced by the loss of MagSafe, ethernet, SD card and USB-A, the loss of the FN key row, and loss of serviceability.

So much so that my 2010 MBP will very likely be my last Apple purchase ever.
The entire Mental Health Industry needs to be redone. Insurance problems and number of sessions are the biggest problems. Some people have such severe issues that they need possibly up to 5 times a week. But with out-of-pocket therapy sessions costing $300/hr at places like Beth Israel Hospital, there’s just no way anybody could afford that.

Planning is the first step towards first degree anything, teehee, but I can’t go back unless I get 5.

I have thousands of more ideas on how to improve the mental health industry.
I have (and have had for many years) the same trouble. I can't tell you what to do, but I can tell you what I think I've learned (so far):

1. I am incredibly curious, by nature. I want to learn everything. I accept that it is NOT possible to learn everything I want to.

2. I can be more disciplined. I can say no to projects. I can't be good at everything. Saying no can be (surprisingly) fulfilling. I can be more dedicated than comes naturally, but it takes extra willpower. The payoff is worth it.

3. Projects involving other people are more fun, and therefore more successful and more engrossing.

4. What I really want is to accomplish something meaningful.

5. There are patterns in my projects, in my interests. They feed on each other.

6. It's ok to treat a project as a learning experience, and then move on.

7. A project that I'm serious about will take at least 5 years.
Thanks for this comment! Very informative, and not something I would have found otherwise.
> The housing is expensive due to undersupply

I agree that it's a massive factor, but it's just one factor among many. Look at a satellite map of the area, in the middle you have the bay which not only takes up space but also chokes traffic. West you have the ocean, and north is again limited by the bay. South and east you have mountains and parks which limit where you could build transit or housing.

For comparison look at D.C. it's zoned to be low to mid density, and has terrible roads. But becase people can commute from a huge area to the hart of the city it's prices are not insane. Further, many office buildings clump up in various areas around the city. That can't really happen to SV which props up land value.
Not sure why you were down voted. The test only showed removing the chip disabled the camera. The chip BCM15700A2 is a WLAN/Bluetooth chip used on Intel 8260 cards and lots of Dell laptops.

The only psychotherapy we need is from plant medicines. DMT and psilocybin are natural plant teachers that can help us through the traumas we go through in our life.
Ah, stat counter - I've read "he has sent to himself" thought somehow directly.

Yes, not so easy.
You really can't.

Even on the Apple's new desktop keyboards, the split between the up/down keys is much smaller and much more difficult to detect than their older keyboards. It's much worse on the laptop keyboards.

And because the left and right arrow keys are now full height, it is literally impossible to determine if your middle finger is over the up/down keys or over the shift/up keys. And if your hand is in the wrong spot, nothing works.

As someone who writes code, it is hugely frustrating and it slows me down to the point that I now avoid writing code on Apple's laptops whenever possible.
I agree it is a bummer that FUSE doesn't directly work on Windows, but it should be doable -- we would love for someone to figure out the best way to do this on Windows. Happy to collaborate with anyone who'd like to make this a reality.

Some questions I couldn't find answers for:

Why would an alcohol restriction make sense instead? Why is alcohol worse than broccoli, hamburger, or ice cream?

Why is what they feed employees an important factor in a vendor? For example, would you check to see if other vendors pay their employees more, that might be more valuable than any lost reimbursement for meat at company meals? Do you check to see how well they treat people of all genders, races, and sexual orientations, or are obligated carnivores the only class of concern?

A much more relevant definition in this context don't you think? It's their public work being attacked, not their private life.
> How are you making money with this? This is awesome!

Says on the site that its free forever. Maybe they could sell user information... Is that an option?
A) With regard to "no standards of treatment", that is not the case, at least in the US. Licensing and professional bodies for both Masters-level clinicians (LPCs, LMHCs, MFTs, MSWs and others) and Doctorates (PhDs, PsyDs) effectively mandate therapists rely on evidence based practices, and insurance companies are quick to push highly manualised behavioural therapies.

Private practice is one thing, but treatment outcomes are tracked in CMH settings as well as IP psychiatric settings.

B) Licensure is not all over the place. At a bare minimum, an independent clinician in the US will have several thousand hours of client contact (e.g. group facilitation), a thousand to fifteen hundred hours of 1:1 counselling with clients, a hundred hours of supervision, and have taken two years of graduate level coursework on psychology and psychotherapy, with the curriculum on its way to being standardised nationwide by CACREP.

Studies have demonstrated that treatment outcomes are not strongly correlated with clinicians' educational background, and that the perceived therapeutic alliance is the strongest predictor of success.

There are problems with psychotherapy research, but they're mostly those shared with the rest of the sciences.

WebAssembly isn't just a cross platform technology, it's also a way to target platforms that are currently walled gardens. Being able to run software on e.g., the iPad without paying Apple's 30% fee and being able to ship features / bug fixes without added delays is a big deal.

"Write-once, run everywhere without paying someone for the privilege"

I think the term's overused, but this could actually be a "game changer".
I think that will happen actually. It would open some some interesting possibilities.
> They are all very popular “open source” ecosystem tools beholden to a for-profit corporation.

NPM server is not open source to begin with. Its client shouldn't be bundled with node, an open source project. I don't use Wordpress but pretty sure I don't have to pay a license to Wordpress to install its CMS on a server. And github server IS NOT open source.
What's the point of writing assembly if you're going to repeatedly scan to the end of strings as you try to build them?

I'd have to benchmark to make any claims about speed, but from my past, quite extensive experience with using Asm, it's not uncommon for even a simple/naive/asymptotically less efficient algorithm written in Asm to outperform a more complex/clever/asymptotically efficient one in an HLL at the problem sizes encountered in practice, simply by virtue of the constant factor being much smaller. For the same reason a bubble/insertion sort in Asm can easily beat the standard library sort if your inputs aren't that big.

Of course if you combine Asm with efficient algorithms (which can sometimes be easier to write than in a HLL), then you can get much closer to how much the CPU can actually do.

I very much disagreed with you two comments up, but this more fleshed out response actually makes a lot of sense. You just moved me from "I'm going to add a build rule that strips comments from all my JSON files so that I can have comments in my configs" to "The next time I want comments in JSON, I'm going to see if what mlthoughts2018 said makes sense in this case. Do I really need to comment this JSON file, or would it be better to put the comments somewhere else instead?"

We'll see how it goes!

Why wouldn't an organization fake their job postings to lead people astray? Like if the FSB started hiring string theorists or telekinesthetics positions to waste the NSA's time figuring out why they're doing that.
I think you underestimate how many people work at large companies that have to deal with these problems. Not everyone is in the HN startup bubble working for a company with barely any customers.
Wow, your comment was killed within seconds. I’d suggest expanding on your opinion.
This story made me realize: I haven't seen the phrase "tin-foil hat" used much in the past couple of years. Huh.

Which reminded me of a quote:

"For a while you wondered whether the fools were pretending to be fools as some kind of deception, or whether there was a real efficient service somewhere else. Later in my fiction, I invented one. But alas the reality was the mediocrity." — Le Carre
Please someone answer, I want to know too.
I too have never seen anybody using it in at least North India. In fact, I never ever heard anyone even talking about it. Unlike many people here, I am actually very close to rural life in India and I couldn't spot this phone. South India may be?

I don't know how it was the best selling phone in India.
I say that in psychotherapy tighting up standards and licensing does not result in tangible benefits beyond a quite low threshold compared to other medical professions.

I think it's because no one knows shit wrt psychology, tons of books written nonwithstanding. It's all intuition. And those tons of books written which I read because I took my condition seriously only reinforce this opinion.

May the peace be with you. You don't want to take a look at the other side.
I definitely add way more comments to my projects' default config files than I do to my actual codebase, if we're talking total number of comments.

Apple still control what API you can use in their mobile browser, and it's not like they are at the forefront when it comes to implementing Web API today, especially when they also forbid any alternative browser on IOS. Ultimately WebAssembly is limited by the API it has access to in the context of the browser (and the resources that are granted by the browser). All the promises of the "web as an app platform" have not been fulfilled yet.

IMHO WebAssembly will play a bigger role on the server, with nodejs for instance as it will allow portable native code distribution.
XAR development began in 2014 and hit production use in an early form in 2015; this was before some other options were out there, or before, I believe, AppImage went the squashfuse route.

XAR doesn't aim to, say, represent a sandboxed filesystem or provide some isolation or provide a specification for GUI apps to seamlessly integrate with your desktop. Instead, the main idea is to just get a single file that, when run, mounts a filesystem and runs a command inside it. In my mind, at least, it's a simpler, smaller primitive you could build other systems on top of (like we have with deploying Python, Lua, and Node).
Not paying for people to buy meat is perfectly reasonable. It's your money and you can decide how you spend it. It's like not paying for birth control as part of a company health plan.

But having a company event, a "summer camp," with no meat food options might be incredibly fucked up.
I'd add MDMA in there as well. It's had good results in testing for PTSD (look up MAPS) and it changed my life for sure. Not a plant, but I hold onto no idealism about that.
Do you want to actually accomplish something or do you want to feel like you’re actually accomplishing something?

It’s more fun to start things than stick with them. When you’re new to something you make bigger jumps in improvement with less effort. But going from intermediate to expert takes much more work for far smaller return.

If you’d rather feel like you’re making progress, keep doing new things and get OK at them. If you want to actually make progress, pick something and actually stick with it, especially when it feels hard and pointless.
The area around the hinge on the 2011-2015 Era Macbook was plastic. It seems like they wanted to do away with that, a major mechanical break point, which meant removing travel distance from the keys so the screen could close more directly.
(My 2011 MBP screen hinge was a bit wobbly a few years in.)
You could look at the USB-C dongles in a similar way: older USB ports could fail eventually on that era MBP. The newer USB-C ports are probably "rated" for more insertions/removals.
On the magic keyboard, the whole bottom row of keys is shorter than they used to be. Not by a lot, but they're shorter. They're now the same height as the keys above.
