As a female engineer and a feminist, if I were implementing this feature I would have obviously known that periods can last forever. Unfortunately given that Fitbit's engineering team is majority male, some male engineer is probably going to push a fix in response to this article that removes the explicit upper limit on period length while still using an int32 or int64 to represent it instead of using a big integer type as they should to represent periods lasting over 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 days which is possible if you are a really, really hardcore feminist.

It was one of those episodes that made it click for me. I can't remember which episode it was but Jerry and the other guy were discussing what it was like on stage and Jerry mentioned during the periods the audience is laughing he isn't thinking about the laughter or the crowd. Instead he's thinking about how he's going to continue the joke or transition to another one. I have found the whole series to be really insightful into the lives of comedians. I think it was one of the earlier episodes in the latest season.
You are forgetting that at the start of the Greek crisis, the debt was owned by private banks (mostly German and French), now it's owned by the Europeans.

Usability is always and without a doubt the responsibility of the designer. The old saying might be valid for tools that are meant for complex tasks. Expert level tools where doing the job a certain way is more important than doing it intuitively. In reality that saying is mostly used as an excuse for a tool that could be more effective but isn't.

If something as basic as a text editor is so unintuitive it is not the user's fault.

There's always the option of providing better examples or documentation, or a more intuitive "control scheme" which allows users to toggle between "old" and "new".

The fact that some tools choose to do it "the hard way" is almost entirely rooted in tradition and reluctance to do it another way. Not because it's better.

Ask HN: What are some email pitfalls in big companies?
Hi HN,
I recently left college to work at the head office of a large conglomerate. I expected email correspondence to be trivial, but it turns out that it's an entirely new communications medium with its own set of norms and subtleties. What are some practical situations and solutions that I may run into?

For example, last week Linda emailed reminding me to complete a task that was never assigned to me. Noticing that the probable owner was CC'd, I decided to wait to see if they'd take responsibility instead of responding immediately. Sure enough, 4 hours later Jenny replied taking ownership. In this case, not responding to the email seemed to be the solution, but that's weirdly counter-intuitive. What else might be like this?

Thanks in advance,

Ada.

Is the Erdogan Turkey really keen on the EU?

To me, it seems more like Erdogan played the EU card to get internal and external critics off his back - and now that he has "consolidated" his support at home, he doesn't need the EU card, also you can only play it out so many times before it gets old.
Terrain.

Walking is usually on a finished, somewhat flat surface. Hiking - even in flat areas - generally have obstacles and uneven surfaces. Tree roots, branches with thorns, and so on. It isn't uncommon to do a bit of a climb either. If I'm in a good enough area, I might personally be crossing a stream on rocks. I'm guessing this has different output in the device: Steps taken hiking might not equal that on a walk, for instance, but may (in general) burn more calories.
Great! I love to see new research centers, especially in the US. My company has my office in the university research park at UIUC (Urbana/Champaign Illinois). A great environment for innovation, supporting startups and entrepreneurs, etc.

I'm a storyteller, and yes the techniques are more or less the same. By telling the same story over and over again, you gain insight of when people are going to laugh, when they are going to keep quiet (you can even feel the tension sometimes), and the story gets better and better with time, and is more and more fixed in its delivery.

You can work as hard as you want beforehand, your work on a story is not done until you told it dozen of times to a real, live audience.

> if pushing a pram is seen as a stereotypically “female” activity and because of tat further outside the lived reality of the men writing the software, it could be sexism

So one would need to make sexist assumptions about activities (only females push prams) to interpret a sexist intent on the side of the coders (I don't like females, so no pushing pram activity!)? But isn't that kind of a circular logic requiring sexism itself to work?

What about pushing a shopping cart? Carrying your groceries up to the 6th floor, where are the activities for that?
Are they missing because of all the coders never shopping themselves?

Imho this has much more to do with the threshold of "what constitutes a track-worthy activity?", there are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of rather mundane activities that could be added for tracking, because if you up the resolution enough even breathing is burning calories.

It's quite difficult even for trained programmers to make their pipelines reproducibile. Just look at how much effort goes into build pipelines and the like. There isn't any good tooling for doing it so people build their own systems ad-hoc which they never document, that is if they use a system at all.

Big governments need to fund it and solve this problem once and for all. At the moment most grant procedures require something more concrete than just "solve the reproducibility problem", though.

I assume you shared that because Germany has the lowest Total Hours/worker of the countries in the dataset (Greece is not included). The U.S. workers work 31% more hours, equivalent to 12 additional weeks (assuming 35 hours/week)! And yet Germany is very productive so I guess they work smarter, not longer.
Controlling for confounding factors is required when such factors exist. To use it as an argument to attack the study is rather bold, considering not correcting would actually be statistical malpractice.

If you believe confounding factors make it impossible to use empirical methods to study the subject you're just giving up on scientific method.

Because your alternative seems to be a few slogans that claim to be "common sense", but are really just a projection of your moral preferences into a causal model.

Fortunately, policy professionals are not giving up on evidence-based decision-making quite as quickly.

So, you are telling me, that the FED would allow something like what have happened to Greece, happen to a USA state? A crisis deeper and longer than the Great Depression?

Or that they will thread to stop the payment systems if some state don't bend to their will like the ECB did [1]?

Anyway, the problem is not the ECB, but the lack of a federal capacity.

A normal sysadmin workflow would be, log in via ssh, poke at some log files, run a couple of commands, edit a config file, restart a service, check the logs again, logout. If you need to be ssh'd in anyway to run commands then being able to edit a file remotely is of limited value.

I actually really like emacs, for a while I used it as my login shell (no x-windows and with e-shell providing a command line), and elisp is an awesome tool (in theory if not always in practice), but when I moved into sysadmining and later consulting the practical issues meant vi was by far the best option.

> That doesn’t make piano playing an “almost entirely audial skill, with almost trivial mechanical skills” involved.

I'd say it does. I have terrible hand-eye coordination but can play piano at a decent level (whereas I'm distinctly bad at e.g. tennis). Playing a piece I already know on the violin on the piano (or vice versa) is a much simpler exercise than learning a new piece from scratch.
I'd guess the simplest explanation is that pushing a stroller isn't an activity already categorized in one of the standard calories per hour exercise charts that everybody uses.

You forgot the 9/11 "stimulus" and how Bush II blew the housing bubble created by Bill Clinton (repeal of Glass Steagall) into the stratosphere. Fraud as far as the eye can see and beyond.
Damn the notion of a person having privacy. Society is setup where the ones holding privacy of the ones vulnerable, hold full control in violating it and being defended where no action of real repercussion will happen to violators for the victims. Unless you’re financially stable and having fuck you money there is nothing. I suffered HIPAA violations by a hospital in my life with a lot of abuse by a doctor for my LGBT status and saw no resolve by the government when reporting. It’s similar everywhere for all things and people would be better off without assuming privacy is a real thing in our world.
I suspect the policy's inclusion of things outside the gate is more likely addressing traffic concerns. Military gates are serious choke points, and the bulk of people going through them have very similar hours, so irregularities can have significant impacts.
Framer X: A React based design tool
If the company is big enough, complaining loudly to your readership is often the fastest way to report a bug and to get someone who can actually do something to look at it.

Take a look at the most recent web audio stuff that happened in Chrome. Bugs had been sitting open in the tracker for months before the code got pushed into stable - dev team didn't do anything about it until prominent developers started calling them out publicly on Twitter and news sites started reporting on it.

As a smaller example, I used to do API level maintenance on a software stack. I didn't get to prioritize whatever bugs I wanted - upper management did. I actually advised people who had breaking bugs not to just file something in the tracker, because I couldn't guarantee that I would be able to take time to fix it. On top of filing an issue, I told teams that had serious problems that they should go to a manager and explain that it was going to make them miss a release deadline.

Then I'd be allowed to take time off of the more flashy features that looked good in press releases to fix their problem.

There is at least a decent chance that somewhere on the Fitbit engineering team, someone is reading that article and saying, "finally we get to address this #?&x$ issue because now it's public enough to care about."

> I guess Fitbit’s next step should be to recruit female testers

Yeah, they should, because female testers are more likely to catch problems that will effect females. They should also hire blind testers to catch accessibility problems. They should also hire runners and joggers to test if their tracking is accurate in normal usage.

I'm not sure if you meant this as a joke, having people who are similar to your end users test your product is basically business 101.
shrug What does 'the correct answer' even mean for any real world problem? There is so much we don't know. I'm not saying we should just make up papers and call it good, but there is a gradient between 'making stuff up' and 'doing everything according to a hypothetical ideal methodology all the time'. It's a matter of opinion how much not having a 100% repeatable experiment for each paper moves us towards the left of that gradient. It would be an improvement, yes, but I would put it more in the 'moves us from 75 to 80' ballpark than in the 'moves us from 20 to 100' that most people in this thread seem to believe.

"How do you do science if you can't repeat experiments?"

Well, the way we've been doing it for 300 years? It's not like the flawed processes of the past didn't yield anything. To put it in operations research terms: science doesn't work like hill climbing, it's more like a stochastic optimization process without a (well defined) halting condition. Again, I'm not saying we can't and shouldn't strive to improve, but the first year grad student level huff puffery in this thread is just completely detached from reality. 'Science' as you were explained the concept in high school is only a high-level abstraction of the concept, it's not how actual things are or get done in the real world.
