I disagree even in that case. When my colleague complains that a certain software module is overly complex, say, that’s really useful feedback even if they don’t have time to itemize the specific reasons why or propose alternatives. In terms of delegating and scheduling, it might just fall on someone else to take the complaint and look into whether the code can be simplified.

Raising a complaint long before having a full alternative is really useful in matters of team conventions, design principles, adoption of different tooling, workflow policies, etc.

I would always want to foster an environment where teammates could feel free and empowered to speak up about a topic that doesn’t sit right with them, and never feel implicit pressure to be quiet or keep to themselves if they cannot already propose an alternative.

I like to say that it’s all about empathy, but people often think about empathy completely backwards, from their own point of view, just “not wanting to hear it” or getting annoyed with a particular colleague who is often vocal just because they irrationally wish the person would be quiet and not introduce extra work via some complaint that needs looking into.

This is backwards because you should be happy and welcoming for people to tell you all this stuff. Part of being a professional is increasing your capacity to absorb complaints to make other people happy by solving their problem when they alert you to it, and not getting upset or annoyed (or at least not letting it affect you), and thinking they should be holding back for your sake.

It’s a natural extension of a lot of the advice in, “How to win friends and influence people,” applied to the workplace.

Is your comment supporting the idea that Joan of Arc did not exist? Because that would be a bold claim to make when there is so much evidence about her deeds across several sources that nobody seriously refutes.
This is why new comments get put on top, and if after a decent amount of views, they don't garner enough upvotes, they sink.

Interesting to see Github used as a recipe repository. Git does make a lot of sense I guess for recipes.

Personally, I like my chilli sauce to be vinegar based. Kaitaia Fire [1] is my favourite. I'm not sure if you can buy it anywhere outside of Australia and New Zealand though.

Apple has no LTE modems to begin with. Intel sucks though, better get a Sierra card (Qualcomm).
You should step in to this hunt knowing that the shelves are downright sagging under the weight of hundreds of off-the-mainstream books that are incredibly convincing on their own but contract each other when put together. Writing a story that makes sense is the domain of novelists, and writing a story that passes through a few verifiable points on its winding way is only a little different in practice.
I'm not opposed to the idea, it just seems like a stretch of what github is made for. What did they select as the programming language for the repo? Junior devs struggle with git concepts, how will this catch on for mainstream recipe users?

Recipes are nothing like software. Software can return expected results for everyone who uses it. But everyone can tell you a story of a recipe not turning out right. The hardware for compiling a recipe is way too imprecise for the micro adjustments a version control system would be useful for. Compiling a recipe is all about reading and understanding what the author is intending and then adjusting for your own equipment and tastes.

It's also just a cheap post. What, now we can upload otherwise unnoteworthy content to github, and suddenly we're on the front page of HN?
Yes. For various reasons Slackware doesn't have dependency resolution. This is why I've been using Arch and other distros since long ago.

But in the late 90s there was no Arch. Besides, the amount of libraries was an order of magnitude smaller, so it wasn't such a hassle.
That's just marketing BS.

One of Amazon Retail's big internal goals this year is "finally get everyone off of Oracle".

Bezos opposed the creation of AWS. Almost everything that was early AWS (EC2, S3) was done over the objection of Seattle leadership. Look where the teams were based.

After they shipped AWS, it took eighty zillion years for Retail to use anything AWS offered beyond S3, and, as mentioned above, it's not like their 100% on DDB or RDS now: they have dependencies on freakin' _Oracle_ all over the place.

I mean, this is not a criticism of Bezos or Amazon at all, but at the end of the day, even if Bezos is a supergenius (and I see no reason to doubt that he is. Although I often wonder how he keeps himself motivated to continue to work so hard on building a Walmart competitor with the precious few years he has left on Earth given that he could do literally anything with his time), Amazon is still a company made of tens of thousands of people. It's not a 4 dimensional chess-ballet. It's got probably 95% of the same chaos and disorder that every big organization made of humans has. It just turns out that cutting it 5% in the right markets has incredible returns.
You just have to trust that we've been doing it for thousands of years without killing ourselves. As long as you've got plenty of salt and a low pH, you'll be fine.

There's also the proportionality clauses to consider. The law explicitly states that the penalty should be proportionate, so that small companies aren't hit with huge fines.

Are you really dismissing an entire academic discipline because you believe everyone in it is collectively either dishonest or insane?

This is the sort of reasoning that leads people to dismiss climate change or vaccination as grand conspiracies against the public. Huge claims require huge evidence. To entertain your claim I would expect you to produce not one but mountains of sources. Otherwise you're basically dismissing all of anthropology and archaeology as fake? What's more likely, given the evidence, that every academic professor is a nutjob or that you're wrong?

I think you are seriously reading in a huge amount that isn't there. There is no edict here to keep silent or something.

There are lots of circumstances where it's fine to voice criticisms. But where you have a clear agenda to oppose specific things at work and you want to insist on change happening, how you bring that up matters and just loudly complaining and insisting it is someone else's job to fix it isn't a best practice.

I'm not putting much energy into discouraging the use of cryptocurrency. The main energy I'm putting in is to pointing out that approximately nobody uses it as a currency. The Bitcoin emperor may not be entirely unclothed, but it's at best a shopworn thong.

I agree some governments do bad things and would also like less of that. I just don't think Bitcoin solves any of those problems. China may indeed be turning into a digital surveillance state, but that makes digital currencies like Bitcoin ineffective given that they depend on a free and open internet.

I also agree that some countries are only haphazardly governed, with tax evasion as common. But I don't think there are many countries like that that a) don't have perfectly good ways already to evade taxes, b) have reliable electrical grids and internet grids, and c) have sufficient economic activity to make them trendsetters for the global economy. Is Bitcoin used beyond the level of anecdote in Venezuela? Possibly. Will that matter to the adoption of Bitcoin in most of the world? No.

I'm definitely not saying that there's no conceivable utility in cryptocurrencies. I'm saying that there's approximately no practical, demonstrated utility aside from some light financial and commercial crime. My main problem with the Bitcoin promoters is that the only thing they have is theoretical, imagined, conceptual utility. Selling the dream was fine 10 years ago. But at this point the reality is pretty clear.
This hot sauce looks delicious.

Not oncall for Amazon but I don't particularly mind it. It sucks to have to be near a computer for the time, but I actually find digging in and finding that needle in a haystack pretty fun. On a good team, the life interruption is minimal.
When I checked it out, the site seemed responsive but search was broken. I searched "usb flash drive" and was presented with 2 results. I pondered this for a moment and then realized that there were 400 pages with 2 results/page (as far as I checked.) Perhaps there is some load shedding algorithm that reduces the result count per page to reduce load. It did discourage me from further searching so I guess it worked. ;)

The GDS themselves state that users are more likely to archive their own copies of PDF documents than HTML documents: "users are more likely to download a PDF and continue to refer to it and share it offline"

Part of the reason may be that some browsers download PDFs for display in the user's native reader. Though, even in-browser PDF readers like Firefox on desktop have a toolbar with a prominent save button. The use of PDF is a signal to the user that the document can be saved.
To be honest, nothing about GDPR compliance was a surprise. The law was passed in 2016. That's plenty of time get your house in order, and yet here you are over a month past due, with an oops, sorry. What gives?
Alternately, US airline companies don't give enough compensation to attract qualified pilots. Becoming a pilot is extremely expensive unless you flew in the military. Once you do get your license, anyone that is hiring you is going to give you some little rinky dink plane to fly for years with odd schedules while paying you the same as if you worked at costco. In the mean time, there are numerous ways to get blacklisted or possibly lose your pilot's license unexpectedly like getting diagnosed bipolar. (Doesn't it make you feel safer that pilots will skip psychiatric help out of fear of losing their license from a diagnosis?)

And then some time down the line when you finally log enough hours and flights to get a bigger plane, now you have far more passengers to worry about, higher scrutiny from the company, and a much larger and more complex plane to make everything more stressful to finally break into 6 figures.

Without having a multi-millionaire family or a parent that is a pilot, the only reasonable way of even becoming a commercial pilot is to fly for the military. Otherwise you aren't going to get enough flight hours to make any real money until you are already approaching retirement age and having already built a whole other career to support the cost of flying or owning even a small cessna.
There’s nothing to steal, it’s open sauce.
Wrong question. Do not challenge trends, challenge yourself. By introspection.

List the proposed changes, and their date. Look at how many of them you agree with, as a function of time. The proportion should stay approximately constant with time. If you like new things less and less, this is not just luddism, but getting old.

I try to apply that to myself - I am generally against cloud computing because of the greater costs, but pro devops because of the moderate costs increase and much greater flexibility.

Unfortunately, you seem to have already decided all these things were just trends, or fads, that should be challenged without looking like a luddite. This looks like rationalization to me.

This is why I've always thought Rocket League would take off in a big way, it's as trivial to understand as most physical sports.

So far I've been proven wrong, but who knows, maybe it'll turn around.
This isn't really true. Its a very non standard form factor, and I doubt you'll be able to find a third party version for many years, if ever.
One way: find a way to turn your sentiment (whatever it is, honestly a little unclear to me) into a testable, observable prediction, and bet on it.

Economist Bryan Caplan has done a lot of this over the years, and -- although he has a lot of non-mainstream views -- I think this habit means he's taken seriously even by people who don't agree with him.

Apply the Socratic method. Instead of telling people that they're wrong for {reasons}, ask them to provide hard data to justify their proposals with hard data and references to peer-reviewed articles. Often they have no basis and are just parroting something they read somewhere.

But at the same time be humble and remain open to trying different approaches. Sometimes things that look stupid end up working well. IT is so complex that our intuitions can't be trusted.
Last year they sold $2.4B, and this year I've seen estimates around $3.4B - $4B.

Prime day is 36 hours long, but I bet sales are weighted heavily in the first few hours.

So 3.7B / 36 / 60 / 60 = $28.6K per second, and then maybe double or triple that for the first hour or two after 3PM and that'll give you an idea of the scale.

There's also knock on effects, like reduced trust in Amazon/less orders for the rest of prime week, but also positive effects, like people who will just defer their shopping.

For what it's worth -- my sales are below my 30 day average. Glad I didn't go all out this year in terms of advertising.

So being skeptical of a report from a pro-fossil fuel conservative think tank based on data from an oil company is somehow the same as being anti-American?

Corporations <> America

Think Tanks with the word "American" in them != America

Skepticism of data that contradicts every trend we've seen in the past 20 years regarding CO2 emissions does not mean someone thinks America is "evil". Maybe you're the one with a not-so-hidden bias?

Not unless there was malicious intent or willful negligence. Amazon is a data driven company. The data shows that a “blame” culture results in more incidents. (Airline industry taught us this: https://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/maintenance_hf/library...)
imho focus more on the problem rather than the trend.

I'd say something like:
We have such and such problem and I have looked into various standard and well-known solutions. Unfortunately, those solutions don't solve our problem because X. Good news is I found this new technology that could help. Is it worth giving it a try?

And, to be fair, if you have one solution that is standard, well-known and solve your problem, I'd stick to it instead of chasing trendy things.
It always seems crazy to me how this works. Wall street, investors etc always expect that things can just keep growing forever, not only that, but that the rate of growth will continue to get bigger and bigger, which is why we end up with huge crashes, because it can't, there are finite realities. The crash has to happen so that growth can happen again. It seems ridiclous seeing these headlines makes it seem like Netflix is doing really bad.

The fact of the matter is, if Netflix has flat growth for the next six years, something the investment community wouldn't be happy with, Netflix would have basically doubled the amount of customers it has and for a fairly well known and established brand, this is huge.

I'm sure these companies most get pretty annoyed at having to live up to investor expectations and all that nonsense.
>Is your comment supporting the idea that Joan of Arc did not exist?

I think someone may have, but a lot of the accounts of her were likely patriotism. From what I've read people from Domremy didn't much care for the French so why would she go to war for them for example.

There are several historical figures that are likely largely inflated like Shakespeare, Fulk FizWarin (Robinhood), William Tel, Sun Tzu, Faust (appears there were two different guys operating a decade or two apart going by the name), Pythagoras, Lycurgus, (obviously) Socrates.

Then you have famous 'things' like the 'Marie Celeste' which didn't exist although the 'Mary Celeste' did and stories about both are widely accepted as largely incorrect.

Some of the first blatant, and widely accepted, 'fake news' was in the 1800's with the Great Moon Hoax https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Great_Moon_Hoax , Joseph Pulitzer basically started the Spanish-American War with 'news'.

You also have the whole what is taught in North Korea thing, this article is a neat read https://theprepared.com/blog/prepping-north-korea-i-went-the...
I don’t agree. I was responding to the parent comment that said this:

> “Something I heard at my corporate job: "Bring solutions, not complaints." It's a great rule of thumb to follow.”

It’s clearly talking about a general office culture, and not restricted to long-running agendas or anything, but rather having good “corporate citizenship” by not complaining or something, an institutionalized mantra to equivocate complaining with whining— I don’t think it involves reading anything extra into it in order to see that in the parent comment.
What? How do you jump to this conclusion!?

Yup, and if you have too much inventory, you can either remove it or sell it at a discount, both are expensive options.

Otherwise you'll get Amazon telling you, "Hey buddy! You sure are using up a bunch space and not selling much. Why don't you not do that? We're limiting the amount of storage space you can use for Q3.
"They took us to the main library to explain that their people actually had all kinds of information freedom. But notice the people with the white collars standing behind whomever is at the computer? Those are government handlers, physically monitoring what people are searching for in the library’s book index."

Wow.
The MAGA Trolls Have Met Their Match in Sacha Baron Cohen and “Who Is America?”
It's important to not mistake your personal dislike of something for objective fact though. For example:

> a price point that has never materialized

Why would something that hasn't been scheduled to happen have happened? It's like criticizing Democrats for not winning the 2018 midterms. It's just plain nonsense.

> changing energy forever blah blah blah is a lot of PR.

Maybe that's just cynicism? Many people care about their success because it is a proxy for Climate Change. A future where Tesla succeeds is a future in which there is significant movement towards cutting carbon emissions. A future where Tesla fails is more likely to be fossil-dependent than not. There is no future where Tesla is successful and we're heavily dependent on fossil fuels.

Maybe you'd find it more intellectually stimulating if you paid attention to what they're actually doing, versus whatever dumb shit Musk says on twitter.

There's a pattern common to many unconventional storage and computational technologies: they stay behind the state of the art in the mainstream competitor, keeping up with it for a while but never catching up. Things will probably change if silicon stops improving.
