What a great comment. Unbelievable. I personally also buy the "show me your books" argument. People go extra miles for a company and suddenly get fired, with all that effort becoming another line in a CV.

People should have the freedom to do whatever they want on their freetime. People work because they have to, not because they want to. Very rare people have the chance to work on what they want to. The rest need to deal with crazy office politics and some CRUD apps and bad requirements.

If I dedicate myself to a company or not, that might be MY choice, not some mandate from heaven of a employer, for gods sake. Interestingly enough, I do and go the extra mile, but it is my choice, I can also change that. If my employer doesn't like it, it can fire me. But it has no say on what the fuck I do.

Battery problems for planes are huge. Atleast for a big plane like a 787 MAX the battery to achieve same performance would easily weigh more than the aircraft by an order of magnitude.

I imagine even for bush planes the battery weight will be immense due to the much much lower energy density (it's about 2-3 orders of magnitude and you loose fuel while you fly, batteries don't change weight when discharged).

edit: electric motors do have penalties for high altitude, notably the reduced pressure will make cooling less efficient and reduce the maximum power output (though generally your efficiency overall should remain stable and normal)

I find a lot of the problems is people seem to have a job dealing with correlation not being causation.

Honestly, I find that Spacechem is one of the very best game ever. I am really happy that Zachtrorics continues trying making better similar games, as it generally does make great games (I immediately purchase all their games - I only missed Opus Magnum as I was busy becoming a father when it launched), but so far, I was not able to feel the joy I felt when my Spacechem reactor finally worked, watching all the chucks fitting together (I know, I really need to try Opus Magnum which is more similar to Spacechem than other games in the serie - but my impression is that the UI looks much more busy, and simplicity is one of Spacechem strong point, which makes it enjoyable on a tablet for example). I'll admit that Spacechem had the advantage to be the first of this kind I tried, so it could be one of the reasons I loved it so much.

Also I am a bit sad that making games easier to beat is even a goal at all - it's great to try to make them easier to play / to start for non-programmers and beginners. But I find that having a few levels that are really challenging makes a game strictly better. I know that many people think "I paid for the whole game, I need to be able to finish it all reasonably quickly", but personally, I think it could just mean that the game was simply not challenging enough.

For what it is worth, I did beat Spacechem (whatever it means, I have the "beat the game" achievement on Steam), but I am stuck on TIS-100 and Shenzhen I/O (I spent much less time on this one though). Exapunks does feel easier than both for now (the programming language is slightly "higher level", so maybe it feels more familiar).

For everyone here on the running bandwagon, I would like to add my 2 cents.

I generally do not encourage people to exercise, at least not like I once did. Exercise I think is one of those things where discussion never is anything like the real thing. This discourages a lot of people.

I would generally recommend something like social soccer, since there is a more balanced support structure imho. I used to easily run a 20 km jog on a Saturday, but this serves no purpose to mention other than to seem competitive.

For me, exercise is not an easy fix. It is one thing of many, which can greatly enrich one's life. Something like being into music can be on par with exercising, especially if one is unlikely to be able to exercise, whether because of mood or physical barriers.

But having some sort of encouragement, whether exercise, music or intellectual or otherwise engaging pursuits is key to me to become a happier person. Dark days in and of themselves are not necessarily a burden. In some way I would paraphrase this: "more life, not more effort". Being more relaxed towards life has been a strong motivator for me.

Yes, there’s also stuff I can’t even comprehend well enough to either agree or disagree (it might have made sense to someone in 1848 but not to me), yet it is surprising how much of it is now “just the way things are” — even in nations which hate communism so much that mandatory private insurance is demonised as “socialist”.

From: http://www.caravanmagazine.in/reportage/son-of-the-sangh

The Delhi-based lobbyist told me a story he had heard from a minister. On 8 November 2016, as Modi prepared to announce his surprise decision to annul all high-denomination bank notes, he gathered his top ministers. After handing each a piece of blank paper, he asked for their opinions on whether he should withdraw all Rs 1,000 notes, all Rs 500 notes, or both. “Jaitley, being the finance minister, said, ‘We can demonetise 1,000-rupee notes but not 500-rupee notes. It will be a big jolt.’ To which Modi, not in jest but sarcasm, said, ‘Are you saying this because lawyers mostly store their money in 500s?’ Rajnath said, ‘Pehle hi kar dena chahiye tha, I am fully supportive of it.’” Venkaiah Naidu, also a cabinet minister, supported the move as well. Then it was Gadkari’s turn. “He said, ‘This problem of black money should be finished once and for all. Demonetise everything from 1,000 to 100. Nobody keeps bundles of 50-rupee notes.’ Modi was taken aback.” When a colleague later asked Gadkari about this, “he said, ‘He had already made up his mind, he was just doing a paper exercise to corner us. So I tried to go one up on him.’

In short it was the Prime ministers personal pet project, done to drain out the cache of money held by opposition parties.

Gone horribly wrong.
I believe both the behaviors in the article and your point are well summarized by the word: conformity.

For clarification, do you mean that after more time

- the hotel will forget about the shooting,

- shootings will become less likely, or

- secret privacy invasions that people were never meant to know about will stop being such good PR.

I think maybe closest to the first? That we should be understanding in the short term around overreaction because those businesses have suffered trauma and just need time to get back to a normal state of mind.

Of those three reasons I have the most sympathy for the second, though still not a lot. Perhaps all of them can be phrased more even-handedly, though, and maybe there are better reasons why the passage of time might matter. I'm happy to listen.

> What did they expect?

I think they expected respect, privacy and professionalism from their hotel at their conference. They wanted to feel safe, not invaded and bullied.

True, but I'm talking about having a surplus. In that case very little carbs can be turned into body fat, while consumed fat is easily turned into body fat.

> "It is hard to imagine a time in recent history where political leaders openly support a culture of violence without compunction or any trace of self-consciousness, public discourse routinely carpet-bombs fine distinctions with a view to making any nuanced moral responses impossible, and sympathy is routinely so partitioned along partisan lines that the possibility of any human response to tragedy and atrocity seems like a distant gleam."

Not sure about "hard to imagine a time in recent history"; "carpet-bomb" is after all a phrase from the Vietnam War. Or the 80s when nuclear MAD was such an omnipresent threat that it was all over pop culture.

To me it all seems tied to colonialism, which despite what everyone thinks is definitely not dead. Colonialism always comes with justifications for violence against the colonized.

Edit: ah, this article is about India, but I think the cultural drivers are the same - exclusionary nationalism by a group, in this case Hindus, opposed to the idea that minorities deserve rights as individuals.

You don't necessarily need such valves to make engines easier to start. I remember my father-in-law's Lister diesel generator, from over forty years ago, that would start automatically when you turned on a light or appliance. It had a tiny starter motor and also a starting handle in case the battery was flat. There was a switch or valve that you would turn manually, or if the battery was not flat automatically, that made it possible to turn the motor. It was pretty much impossible to turn the engine over manually without doing that; with it, it was easy.

I'm not a mechanical engineer and I have no idea how it worked beyond knowing that it reduced the degree of compression.

Rules related to Firearms on private property vary state to state. In Nevada and Las Vegas explicitly, 'Gun Free' zones on private property are not legally enforced. Casinos do not allow you to carry firearms openly or concealed on their property and while it's not illegal to do so, they can/will ask you to leave. If you don't then it's trespassing.

They do allow you to have firearms in your hotel room, but request that they are kept secured in locked containers. Many firearms industry trade events take place in Las Vegas, including Shot Show. I have personally been in hotel suites during that show that had several dozens of firearms on display.

From what I understand the big change to security now at vegas hotels is an increased awareness of people who refuse maid service for days at a time, as this specifically allowed the mass shooter to prepare his room without alerting anybody.

Ask HN: How do you measure these metrics in your engineering team?
Metrics in questions:
- MTTR = Mean time to repair
- MTBF = Mean time between failures

Hello, I recently read a DevOps book which placed lot of emphasise on measuring MTTR and MTBF.

I did Google this but didn't find a lot of information on the process of measuring it i.e. tools involved etc. We're a small engineering team using Github, Slack, Python, and Google cloud. My question is following.

How do you in your engineering teams measure MTTR and MTBF? Do you measure such time manually and keep that in database or have you automated it using some tools (if so, how)?
Well, consider that if airplanes were 99% safe, nobody would fly. And the way I understand it (not very well), the lab-of-origin discovery is based on design choices rather than inherent factors.
