People here have already given good advice how to deal with product owners/managers. So I'm rather going to talk about the root, which is how to deal with technical debt in the first place.

As a developer myself, I know it's hard to review the Pull Request with good insight just by looking at the diff. What I want to say is that we sometimes might neglect some technical debts by not understand fully the high-level overview of the Pull Request. So in order to avoid that, you and your fellow devs might want to spend more times to review Pull Request and talk about the technical debt that will be introduced by those PRs. This will vastly reduce the amount of debt you have to pay later in my opinion.

Apart from improving it in a normal way, there's a tool for that called Softagram. What it does is that for every Pull Request you made it will analyze your PR and then post a comment with high-level overview graph (or picture) about that PR directly to your PR thread. So that it's much easier to discuss with your fellow devs about what decisions you should make regarding the technical debt. As a result, the process of reviewing PR is much more enjoyable, faster, and more secure. You can check out the tool at https://softagram.com

I wouldn't say obvious. The reason you and I would have engineered the kinds of solutions you described (albeit I'd use HTTP(S) rather than FTP(S) because FTP needs to die) is because we would have designed something that didn't require installing additional software on the client machine (I mean other than what you'd normally expect on said machines).

Dropbox was originally scorned on HN because they took a different approach yet history has now proven they had a good idea.

So I wouldn't say it was obvious at all.
Forgiving the problem of time dilation and the consequences it has on the expectations of conscious things...

You can't just accelerate 1g for 3 years. What are you burning? A chemical rocket can easily achieve 1g. For about 5 minutes. A nuclear rocket is great, you can get 1g easy enough, but you're shoving hot hydrogen out the back end to get that thrust.

The Rocket Equation teaches us that to get arbitrarily close to c, you need an exponential amount of your ship's mass to be propellant.

Edit: moreover, the problem of an EM deflector, or any kind of deflector, is that no matter what, no matter what, you must deal with the kinetic energy of the thing that just hit your deflector. It will (a) slow your ship down, and (b) cost you more energy, e.g. from your generator, to deflect it than it imparted on your vehicle. The energy numbers here are staggering. We have trouble theorizing how a relatively uncontrolled terawatt rocket might work, but imagine a terawatt reactor on your ship somehow powering a terawatt EMfield in front on your ship.

And then you have to worry about dust that's not charged and thus goes right through EM fields.
> Replace the word "planks" with "atoms" and you have a modern version of this puzzle: if you replace every atom in an object with a different but identical atom, do you end up with the same object or a different object? The collection of atoms you end up with after the replacement process will be completely indistinguishable from the collection you started with, so on what possible basis could you call the new collection "different"?

What's different is their history. Sure, one couldn't distinguish them through examination. But with authenticated chain of custody, they are distinguishable. In a word, metadata.

I don't. I tried it several times, but I love music so much I can't spend my "listening time" on human voice.

Honestly, I don't even understand how you all do that - when? At work? In public transport/car? While having a shower?

Sure, but if you go to India right now I can assure you that you wouldn't be able to have a decent conversation with almost anyone not educated from a decent college, Im not sure what the degree of proficiency is from that figure you got over there but the extent of most peoples English would be pointing and using one or two relevant words, not making complete coherent sentences. Back to my original comment this is the reason why people in India dont subscribe to netflix, its a killer deal and less expensive than what they pay for cable (plus they can watch it on their laptop so - the cost of the TV too) but I guess they wouldn't be able to follow the storyline as clearly.

And about that not making sense, I meant that it would be cheaper than paying for cable TV

Instruction optimization is procedure of measuring expected CPU latency given the expected current state to identify which instruction set transition is optimal for the CPU. It would not be applicable to JavaScript unless I missed something.

Instruction ordering is largely bound to instruction pipelining and the estimation of CPU instruction transitioning to reduce latency. Given that V8 uses some degree of virtual indirection... I don't think that's possible in JavaScript.
I think the JavaScript ecosystem needs something akin to Boost. I do not like using Boost in C++, however the way their libraries are built and integrated into standard is awesome.
Yes, but it will always end, we just don’t know when.
This is incorrect, and why the recipe emphasizes a brine of 5% salt. Botulism cannot survive in saline conditions.

Lacto-fermentation is the oldest means of food preservation aside from cooking and drying. It is used throughout the world for preserving everything from sauerkraut to pickles to kimchi to capers to fish. The garlic and the capsaicin also have antimicrobial properties that prevent especially molds from growing, making this a very easy ferment.
I read the Wikipedia article on this paper today and turns out Krugman wrote this when he was feeling quite low being embroiled in the rat race.

Firstly, I have a gripe against the word "hate". No one is hating anything, it is critiquing. The question becomes is how do you take it?

And frankly for me the new trends seems to be asking the question - "Why does HN hate X?" with X being blockchain, Tesla, etc take your pick. This kind of negative questioning leads to two conclusions:

If HN does actually hate X, then it turns into a public shaming. And no one on the internet admits they are doing anything wrong. So, good luck trying to talk sense.

If HN doesn't hate a topic, then you are implying that even simple comments are hateful. And slowly things will turn against your topic of choice.
California is more than LA, and the poverty rate in LA is not as bad as the more rural areas of California. A lot of California’s poverty comes from migrants.
Certification is a theater for managers and so called decision makers. It might have a positive impact on code quality as long as people are motivated. But if insiders are telling me that the workplace culture is deteriorating that is a serious problem. Certification will not prevent bad code hitting production.
PEXA have pointed this out in great expensive detail with conveyancers. Every week there's a $300k theft of house sale settlements, always because some hacker has gained control of the settlement party's account.

I doubt medical practices are as bad as backyard shops like conveyancers but you are spot on, the incentives are definitely there
Agreed. Sometimes, even if every new/trendy thing really is harmful in some way, some may actually be either minimally harmful or not truly applicable.

A trivial example of the latter (that I've personally experienced) is a company deciding (at the very top) to implement "Agile" complete with "mandatory" training (presumably useless and easily skipped in large enough companies). It may have been more than lip-service for some departments, but in Ops, our "standups" remained sitting-down meetings in a conference room and we otherwise worked as we used to. The managers had some new dashboard view for Jira that would bring some browsers to their knees, which helped prioritize and redistribute work, but that the only noticeable change.

I'd also suggest that, once you've picked the battles, pick a sequence, so that you only fight one at a time, with the most winnable (not the most important) first. That way, you can use the practical benefits of the win as evidence in the next battle (assuming you can fight based on evidence and reason, not on politics).

EDIT: Having a "win" early will also help your morale for the next battle.

That's the result of JS lacking anything resembling a standard library. Just look at how long it took just for Object.entries to make its way into the language.
> Compiling code from C++ to WASM is counter-productive

When did WASM come into the picture? I use Parcel because my time is valuable and I don't want to master the arcane arts of modern JS build toolchains but I still NEED to benefit from them if I'm to run a successful business and make sure my investors get their money back and a language I can deliver plain text over HTTP/S that runs performantly across billions of devices that I can modify on the fly is beyond valuable.

> native languages

C++ isn't going to help me deliver my product to my customers in any measurable way that influences the outcome of our relationship. JavaScript, frankly, does - the less time my organization spends writing code, the less we have to charge for things to make up for that margin impact.
Yes, it's an "exact atomic replica". But it's still a replica, and not the original.

And really, "did you read" gets boring quickly.

And it would be so simple to solve. Prepare a tailored list. Instead of using it on all available space, fill only 90% of the space with items from the list. Fill remaining 10% with random items that do not belong to that list.
I used to work side by side as a software engineer at a major airline (one of the survivors today, this was 20+ years ago) with a guy who was using programming as a side job to get a gig as a pilot. He got on with a regional, he told me every pilot had a side gig. They would take turns sleeping in the cockpit. Once he woke up from his nap and the captain had passed out. Good thing autopilot works!

More recently, I dated a woman who flies full time for a regional. She qualifies for low income housing.

>The idea that it might be worthwhile to actually ship something (including ourselves) to another star system is based on very quaint notions of identity binding and what it takes to produce things.

I often think that the forms we take on now aren't suited for space travel (unless you consider living on a planet that is in motion through space as space travel) much less staying in low earth orbit for a year. We have to bend backwards to engineer materials to shield our presently fragile bodies, imo quite futilely, from the harshness of space. I think we'd be much better off modifying our bodies (or even rethinking what constitutes a body/form) to be able to withstand this harshness, at least in the interim before we can build a system that can somehow propagate energy FTL, though I definitely think we should pursue the latter, as the benefits could be realized on earth.
You're still not understanding what I'm saying. There's a huge difference between ignoring/not engaging someone saying something you don't agree with, and filtering them out of your reality via mute/unfollow.

I think that could be solved by having a button to mark something as watched, removing it from recommendations and the catalog other than the list of things you watched.

You could hide episodes you've seen or entire seasons up to entire shows. Would fix a lot of the issues I'm having.
Notice how I specified PDF/A, not PDF, which is a specific (and thus stable) version of PDF with some other requirements like embedding the fonts, specifically meant for archiving purposes. The whole point of PDF/A is that it’s a stable format.
I hate doing javascript. I have no desire to attempt to understand or mess with JS or build systems past the bare minimum I can manage to get a project working so I can move on with my life.

So I tried using this. It was nice while what I was doing fit inside of everything that was default settings and/or what maintainers used. As soon as I stepped outside of that I ran into things like having to hope someone implemented a Parcel plugin for some random transform (an issue that applies to Webpack, too, but Webpack has so many more users that you're guaranteed someone actually did make one that actually works correctly), or: https://github.com/parcel-bundler/parcel/issues/645. Having an issue on something as popular as Bootstrap 4 be open for 6+ months is pretty frustrating. I spent several hours flailing at this issue to no avail.

I switched to Webpack 4 and had all of my existing build system and some additional niceties working in <45 minutes.
We could probably build an interstellar probe if we redirected the world's defense spending into the project for a decade or so. Nuclear pulse propulsion looked viable fifty years ago and the projects were only stopped because of the test ban treaty. A ship powered by nukes can reach single digit percentages of the speed of light. That's enough to reach the nearest stars in one or two generations.
Good ninjas are invisible. Maybe the streets are filled with them.
Semi or fully automated flying vehicles, which can maneuver at maximum speeds and G-forces, without needing to support a human pilot?

We already have those: they are called missiles.

I think we should be realistic about who or what the threat is: and these days, for Britain, there is no threat, and no empire to protect or trade lanes to keep open anymore.

If they want to be lobbing bombs against less-advanced enemies, prop-driven modern CAS is a good investment. Long loiter times and cheap to maintain.
> piss on customers for 2 months and then drop a "sorry for the inconvenience".

I thought Instapaper was a free service that Pinterest bought mainly for it's article parsing technology? As an analogy FB's customers are advertisers and media agencies who pay to keep the lights on as is Pinterest's, users are not the customers.
The main complication remaining with Parcel, IMO, is one that mostly derives from the syntax being used: there's no clear way to separate "I want this file to be added to the bundle, and a string URL for it" and "I want the appropriate representation of this file's contents".

My line of thought here is helper methods in an empty package namespace, so that they only exist at build time and are stripped out in the result.
Also, some things are not easy to track. How would they track "there’s no way to turn off captions for some of their shows"? They see an user watching a show. The data does not show that this user is slightly pissed because they can't turn off captions, but they still care about the show so much that they watch anyway.

"You make what you measure" cuts both ways.
What evidence points towards higher productivity at Google? In my opinion, this is largely a myth.

When Google acquired Motorola, snotty Googlers paraded around claiming to be at least 2X smarter than the average Motorola employee. They publicly proclaimed to turn around a sinking ship and produce iPhone killers, emphasis on plural, within a few quarters.

But none of that famed productivity or genius amounted to measurable results.

An objective analysis will reveal that Google's main business - online advertising- has been so damn profitable for them that they've absorbed hundreds, if not thousands of failed projects burning billions. One might argue that any other company with the ability to subsidize this this kind of failure will churn out scores of projects with little chance of success, projecting an image of productivity.

Ponder on this for a moment, if everyone outside core advertising, AI, YouTube and Android are fired from Google tomorrow, their revenue and profit will barely budge. What % of Google do to think work on those products? So how productive do you deem the average Googler is?

It's really hard to get wrong. The salt kills most of the bad things and the capsaicin and garlic have potent anti-fungal properties which make it especially difficult to mess up. If you remember to turn your ferment once a day or so it'll go very well. (By turn I mean physically mixing the material at the top of the jar down into the depths of the jar and dredging up the stuff at the bottom for a while to sit at the top. This keeps "scum" from forming, but the scum won't kill you and can be safely scraped away without spoiling the batch if it does form.)
I thought about this some, and don't agree that this is whataboutism, because there's no change of topic. The environmental impact of WeWork's business decisions is supposed to be the topic. But the impact of massive transatlantic air travel gets a pass, and the far lesser impact of meat-eating doesn't. I think it's legitimate to ask whether someone's being consistent or sincere in their commitment to Cause X when they're decrying Thing X while (somewhat uniquely!) performing a Thing Y that does much more to hurt Cause X than Thing X does, you know?

You could also look at it this way: This technology is thousands of years old and predates refrigeration and most basic sanitation. It's that easy.
I genuinely do not understand why they don't do this. Bezos either has some sort of master plan relating to a high-turnover staff model or is delusional about the true culture underneath him. I don't know which.

How about shedding bureaucratic staff salaries rather than maligning the very people doing the core work of the University.

In spite of rapidly increasing tuition costs, Universities have budget issues because every time there's a tuition increase they take their newfound wealth and hire more staff. It's essentially cancerous.
I’m not depressed though.
It would be unnecessary and could potentially actually reduce its shelf life while altering the flavor and texture in possibly undesirable ways.

Genius, I have the same app idea in my ideas list except I wanted to make it more competitive with a real-time round-based concept where players have limited time to guess.

Somehow this movie-title guessing is working especially well with emojis.
You don't quite understand the argument here. This is not about provenance, this is about physics. Atoms are just as indistinguishable from each other as a copy of digital data. If you take one atom and replace it with another it makes no more sense to call one the original the other not than it does to call one copy of Microsoft Word "the original".

Suppose we wanted to sell "the original" Mona Lisa to an interstellar society. How would they be able to satisfy themselves that we had in fact sent "the original" and not a perfect copy? And given that there is no experiment that they could possibly perform whose outcome would be different, why should they care?
You can also do this by feeding a black hole with ordinary matter and using Hawking radiation for propulsion. That is probably more practical than carrying around large quantities of antimatter.

There are plenty of online communities one can approach for general encouragement and moral support.

People choose to Show HN specifically because they know appreciation isn't automatic here. They don't just want a pat on the head, they want to know if they're doing it right.

Often, learning that your idea simply isn't valuable to others (or even worth their time) is very helpful and motivating towards future development.

I do think there's room to ask that people's so-called negative comments at least be detailed, but this goes for positive/supportive comments too, in my opinion. I don't want to just be told to keep trying, I want help thinking about what exactly to try next.

I don't get your complaint, season-long plots have always been common (outside of comedy shows). That's why the cliffhanger trope worked!

TL;DR - The point of the Russian campaign is classic psyops[1]. Sow division, discord and disbelief in authorities and institutions.

One might well argue that the US was “primed” for such a campaign by the recent history of cynical manipulation of the public for political ends.

At this point, I find myself asking, “under what possible circumstances could the majority (irrespective of ‘sides’) ever regain trust in their elected officials?”

I can’t come up with an answer. There is now sufficient disbelief that any attempts to regain trust would invariably come across as further attempts to manipulate.

If, like me, you believe that “democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others”, then this is pretty depressing.
