Thanks guys. Appreciated
I've been managing engineering teams for a few jobs now, but I think this article suffers from some logical fallacies.

"You don't need stand-ups"

I've actually tried this multiple times with multiple teams in my career. The truth is, is that sure no stand-ups can work... _sometimes_. Some teams some teams we ended up doing 15 minute enforced with a stopwatch stand-ups, we ended up doing a slack standup, and some teams we skipped them altogether.

I too, when I had my first engineering team skip stand-ups and retros felt like I had unlocked some secret in management, as work was indeed getting done.

But the very next team I tried it on it failed miserably. Tons of conflicts, duplicated work, etc. We also tried to "fix them as they went" but what ended up happening is that bringing up and trying to resolve every issue when it happened got difficult. Naturally we kept "tabling" issues to discuss later and we never did until we create monthly meetings to discuss all the issues together. Funny how a "retro" ended up organically forming.

The truth is, every team is different. What works with one team won't work with another. I've found that as a general rule, a regular check in with engineers help align goals and what they are working on. And a somewhat regular cadence of evaluating _how_ you do work makes sense.

I also think the authors marriage analogy is weak. At work, your team isn't a family. It's a team. You can't fire family members. A team you need to stay consistently plugged in because you are trying to complete specific objectives. Marriage is rarely like that.
A fluorescent lamp that one would attach to furniture probably only takes 10W. That's less than 100mA at 120V; a telephone wire can handle that. Also, telephone wires once carried as much as 50VDC for ringers, so I'd expect the insulation to be adequate, if only barely. The biggest problem, I think, is that because the insulation is relatively thin, there's a greater risk of mechanical damage to it.
This sounds to me like a team that went through the agile rituals until everyone was familiar with the benefits and methodologies and got rid of the formal structure once that happened. That's fine. But having structure in place around these things is helpful to newcomers, especially when the entire larger organization is trying to transition from a waterfall process or no process at all.

The list of rituals the author got rid of shows that the team has already learned the more abstract values and benefits and is doing them real-time instead of scheduling them as standalone meetings and sessions. It doesn't mean these things have no value; it means the team is a well-oiled machine.

Except standups. Standups are, have always been, and always will be a waste of time.
Yeah but when you have 3min to get to your next class (or you get detention), you can't run, hallways are crowded, and you have to walk across the building to get to your class that's right downstairs it feels a bit kafkaesque.

We also weren't allowed to talk during lunch for half of it.

well done to apple. Great design, great product and they found an impressive way to sale in hundreds of millions. I suspect that in 10 years we won't be using phones much so it will be interesting to see what direction Apple takes with the emerging tech (AI, Virtual Assistants, VR/AR). In each of these, they seem to be behind the competition.

You can still frequently find the old corded Bose QC25 on fire sales for around $150-$170.

They work pretty well at blocking out sound and use a removable AAA battery and use a user-replaceable cord, so they should last you a bit longer than a few years.
> It's totally CYA stuff that's typical in public/government settings.

That CYA stuff is actually typical for any company that ever gets hit with a personal injury or other expensive lawsuit. It's pervasive in government/bigco's because they had to deal with decades of every imaginable stuff happening.

If you want to get rid of it, you gotta limit personal injury liability (which would border on being inhumane) or develop a decent social safety net with proper insurances...

I'm torn. Yes, having a better UI for my camera could be cool. However, the responsiveness of my phone is nothing compared to what I want the responsiveness of my camera to be. So frustrating when I click to take a picture and it considers focusing or anything else.

Do you also have an RCD[1] in the mains switchboard? Each circuit breaker in my shiny new upgraded mains switchboard is also an RCD.

I still occasionally see an old switchboard with ceramic wire fuses with the fuse wire replaced with a bit of coat hanger wire, or the correct fuse wire wrapped around the terminals ten times. They often seem to be the same houses that give you a tingle if you touch any of the metal plumbing fixtures. Yikes.

See DanBC's comment...a unit is based on volume and alcohol content, so 1 unit != 1 drink. Roughly speaking, 7 units is 1 serving of beer, so 21 units is just 3 beers a week, which does appear to be light to moderate alcohol consumption.
You shouldn't wait for a job listing to appear. If it's somewhere you would like to work approach them straight away and get to the front of the queue.
Nested iframes on that last one. Do you remember sites that would popup hundreds of popups - not virus/porn sites, but design sites that would orchestrate a variety of images in the popups? I recall iframes that would bring up more iframes as well. I wonder where we'd be if we'd followed these routes instead.

Ask HN: How to compete against bigger competitor?
I'm courious how, especially against competitor that already on market long before you lets say like >5 years.

It just like yelp that can compete against google in the user reviews and recommendation website

I mean google have android and google maps and they are bigger company than yelp.

Another story maybe lyft vs uber.

(For now I just have an idea about something but the big guy already on the market)

If anyone have a good resource to learn more about it, I would be glad to know it thank you
Pretty cool concept on Timo Becker's site[0] (linked in TFA), and I'm trying to figure out how it's accomplished.

If memory serves, there's 6! = 720 distinct graphs. Was a custom illustration created for each of those?

Either way, really nicely done IMHO.

Fascinating post. I'm a little surprised that the private jet levels seem to be "off by one" too high. (Most people I know in the $10-30MM set are already users, sometimes heavily, of fractional programs, NetJets, etc.)
Funding rarely determines process or outcome.

It's a common argument, but unworldly, given that there are huge amounts of largely autonomous institutions that rely on single donors, may it be public or private money.
Maybe we should go back to those days. When I drink wine at home, I haven't measured it, but I'm quite sure I don't drink more than 125 mL at a time as I can easily get more than 6 glasses out of a standard 750mL bottle.

Going from an old house built in 1890 to one built in 1980 with 2x6 walls and modern insulation has been nice. I'd like to go the next step, and homes like the one above combine a nice interior with great efficiency.

Going from a 30yr old furnace and standard 10yr water heater to a highly efficient single tankless system was a great step up, both from the energy efficiency and creature comfort perspectives.

You can also credit Apple for the countless iOS developers that have made anywhere from a living to a fortune, that have all paid taxes on their earnings, that have also created likely hundreds of thousands of jobs for everything from customer support to developers inside those iOS development companies, all of which have had income and thus paid taxes, directly as a result of Apple existing.

Requiments change based on availability of labour and is not entirely related to the difficulty of the job.

The exact same type of jobs often have different requirements year-to-year. Recruiters start adding or removing requiments based on how easy it is to find people for a role. It just acts as a filter but is often unrelated to the actual difficulty of the role.

Recruiters don't want to have to judge people entirely on merit as it is hard. They pre-filter the pool to focus their search and make it easier to manage and vary the constraints based on number of applicants.

This means people perfectly capable of doing a job get excluded for a superficial reason other than ability or competence and it overly effects people from a poorer background.

Without the "fragmentation" the problem of third parties censoring applications would be even worse and it still wouldn't be any easier to deploy anything. If you want a proprietary centralized service loaded with malware, there are already plenty of those to choose from on other systems, complete with their own gatekeepers.

There's not much to the article. It seems that 70% figure includes people who discovered a problem with the house after they moved in or discovered that they don't like mowing the lawn. Also, it included the sage advice of not buying a home that's too expensive for you to afford.

The article did suggest that you should get your home inspected before you buy it like pretty much every bank doesn't already require that. It also failed to mention that home inspections are largely useless.
>> "Wrapping<u32> + 1" doesn't compile

> Rust is pickier about numbers than many langauges; 1u32 + 1u8 doesn't compile either. Many people find this valuable; you don't have to memorize complex promotion rules, and you always get the semantic you asked for.

Although I'm happy with rust avoiding automatic promotion across the board, Wrapping<u32> + {integer}` could be handled more gracefully, in the same way that `u32 + {integer}` is handled.

In the UK you can choose to purchase private health insurance on top of the state provided health care if you so wish. A quick search suggests the same is true for Canada.

I don't think "proactively healthy people" is the right dividing line. It's more like "wealthy people". The point of the universal system is to provide a reasonable baseline for everyone. In my experience the UK system does this. Of course it has issues. So does the US system. The real debate is about which tradeoffs are preferable at a society-wide level.

There's no question she is an ardent critic of Islam. She said as much during her conversation with law enforcement, which said she couldn't freely go in the Muslim neighborhood.

As for comparison, yes, I believe her actions in Sydney were less antagonistic than the many examples I listed.
Smart contracts are DOA, it's not an economic issue, it's a technical one; the rules of the smart contract can only be enforced on the blockchain, any concerns outside of that must necessarily fall back on the traditional legal system for enforcement thus eliminating any utility the smart contract intends to provide.

edit: I'm not saying there is no value in systems of arbitration outside the traditional legal system, I'm saying that a blockchain is super wasteful and expensive relative to a centralized system that can accomplish the same guarantees because they share the same legal underpinning, i.e. the courts. There is no legal difference between a smart contract and word document.
I've always found it too expensive to just buy some and experiment, but I swear it's cheaper now. I'll buy some when I get home.

Yes; to be clear, what I'm saying here is "we tend to be conservative with these kinds of things at first". We could and may change this in the future, but once you do it, you can't go back. It's better to be conservative, feel where the pain leads you, and improve, then to speculate on things and end up adding bad stuff.
Have you talked to a financial advisor about this? Interest rates are low enough now that this might be your best use of the money but there have been many periods where holding onto your student loans and investing the money you haven't paid yet is a net increase in income.

The mental shift and peace of mind GP is talking happened for me when we could pay off all of our debts with our liquid assets. We chose not to do this however because of interest rates, and because the nest egg meant we never had to pay for anything, even a broken car or arm, on credit. I believe that you will discover you feel the same way.

Don't confuse 'no debt' with 'wealthy'. Wealthy people take loans too, when it's cheaper than the alternative.
Warren Buffet is a funny example. He likely fails all three levels of wealth because he is infamously frugal [1]. This is probably a big part of what got him to where he is today. Your comment demonstrates that you think about money in terms of something you work for, which is why you value inflows more than what you have. When you value pennies, the compound interest on those pennies ends up making you invaluable.

I'm using Firefox on windows with the same issue.
One thing I don't like about standups is that they can create a false sense of either blockage or someone being ineffective at their job. For instance, there have been many times where I've worked on a task or a set or related tasks for weeks or months, simply because the tasks required a lot of forethought and careful planning. There were times I somewhat dreaded standups because I knew that I'd say that I'm doing the same thing I'd been doing for the last several days, like a broken record. I don't want to have to say "Yup, still workin' on those bugs" every morning. When shit's fixed or I've completed a feature, I'll let you know.

In fact, all I like about standups is seeing my team mates once a day. Besides that, there's almost no upside. Literally everyone can read the project board to see what we're up to. If you're really so curious as to what everyone is doing, why not just look at that?
Thank you for the detailed explanation, much appreciated.
Basically...they're voluntary celibate......
I don't think slack standups are a useful way to communicate this. I'd rather have it in the form of trello or pivotal tracker, for example, because those have audit logs and commentary. By all means, have people update those things at the beginning or ending of the day on a routine basis, but doing it in chat is just too ephemeral for me.

I think it's often useful to ping people if you know you're going to need their help, for example, but that's not precisely a standup. It's just scheduling and communication.
Eli5: How do smart contracts change anything when their enforcement has to be performed by legacy systems?

Created an account - UX is a little clunky:

have a + button to create a team.

Please have the ability to do a test/add a bot/test user.

Can I store the meeting? Get attendance reports? Notes?

If I create the meeting, but I dont attend/go on vacation what happens?

I can't see how to use it without having an actual other person to test it out with...

I should be able to take/store personal video-notes, then share those out with a team/create a meeting based on them perhaps?

For add member - please provide me a link I can just send to people to have them click and add themselves as a member.

What happens when the teams get quite large?

I love async/remote standup as an idea - but have yet to find the right tool for it. I'd love to help provide feedback...

Sadly, I hope that you can sell - as I know that when it comes to /month pricing, this will be harder to sell in lots of companies (Gsuite is only $5/month per user for full email - which will have a higher-perceived value than standup subscription)
Why specifically traditional legal system? We have things like credit card anti fraud or arbitration courts that work outside of it. Of course these entities need a way to enforce their rulings, but this issue is built into the traditional legal systems, not smart contracts, and can be changed (no idea how to do it correctly, though - just like we're not yet sure how to do smart contracts correctly).

Also, saying that there is no utility because in some edge cases, a traditional system is required, that's like saying a computer is useless because sometimes you need to have things on a paper.
Also fun is looking at all the components that have released their magic.
