But how in God sake does this make any possible sense?

The US health care system doesn't make sense.

Health insurance began as a perk to attract more qualified people and became the expected norm at some point and typically covered the entire family. When that no longer made sense for employers, benefits began eroding and it became more common for benefits to only cover the employee. Employees had to pay extra to cover family. Then the ACA decided the way we fix this mess is we require everyone to purchase insurance.

It's crazy enough that I would seriously consider leaving the country if I thought there was any way for me to pull that off. But I don't see that as at all feasible currently.
> But it's just to drive on.

I'm American but I understood what you meant haha! Pop and rock lyrics are mostly not worthy of rational attention.
I am seeing more and more people involved in making organizations and teams more efficient come back to how the canned / certifications methods are not sufficient by themselves. I am on the same page, noticing how on the project level the actual project management method (like Scrum, Kanban etc) are no the main predictor of success.

The pendulum has swung a long way. It used to be that scaling a successful organization up was supposed to mean forgetting what was successful at a small scale and trusting the experience of people who succeeded at a larger scale. In other words, read a book, ignore your instincts and experience that were formed in a small-scale environment, and do what the experts prescribed based on their own experience in larger organizations. Those were dark days. People who followed what seemed like the foolish path, trusting their instincts and limited experience, making things up as they went along, not trusting the software engineering "knowledge" that had been supposedly accumulated and passed down, seemed to be much more successful than people who followed the apparently modest and prudent path of trying to stand on the shoulders of giants.

The utter worthlessness in practice of what we read in those big, heavy (and expensive) books, and the leadership failures of the people who relied on those books and touted their own mastery of them, suggests the "experts" were publishing ideation and speculation, not reality. Also their elaborate models of "maturity" were quite similar to the model of maturity we had as college freshman when we measured maturity by "purity tests." For non-Americans, these were ludicrously extensive checklists of sexual and drug-related acts that you would fill out with your friends to see who had the highest total. In retrospect, I don't see any difference between this and measuring software development maturity by the sheer number of possibly helpful practices your organization has adopted, without asking whether they're worth bothering with in the first place.
As someone who lives in Toronto, there are some very aggressive cyclists here who do not follow the rules. They run through red lights and stop signs without stopping, weave in and out of traffic, try to bike by cars on the shoulder and freak out on drivers if they happen to have not left enough room for a cyclist to zip past. Not all cyclists in Toronto are like this of course, but I've seen a lot of cyclists who just do whatever they want on the road and get upset when the cars can't anticipate their actions.

With all that said I think it would be a good idea to lower speed limits and install some speeding cameras. I feel there has been an uptick in the number of cyclists on the streets in the past few years and we should keep them safe. Police should also be ticketing the unsafe cyclists as it is clear that they really have no interest in sharing the road with cars. Perhaps police are already ticketing these people at a good rate, but if they are, I've never heard about it. I feel these aggressive cyclists are probably the main contributers to the anti-cyclist sentiment you see among many drivers in Toronto. Showing cyclists and drivers that we aren't going to tolerate that level of irresponsibility would probably help shift public opinion on cyclists in Toronto.
I'm really confused.

We went from everyone backing an open codec to a dystopia with no explanation of how, only what.

The writing style is fun but makes it impossible to tell what parts are shared by our reality.
Scooters are great, because you can ride them anywhere... on the street, in bike lanes, on the side walk, or across other people's lawns. I just found out you can even ride them the wrong way up a parking garage exit ramp spiral!

/sarcasm> actually, I guess the scooters are fine, it's just the people paying $/15min feel entitled to do whatever, and there are no consequences. I've got more respect for those modding them into free rides and I don't live in Manhattan.
Even doctors don't have an obligation to serve the patient's financial interest. I used to work for a Chicago-based company, and they offered Blue Cross / Blue Shield of Illinois. In California, where I live, these are two separate insurers. The doctor's office got to choose which run to my treatments through.

After finding that they were doing it in a way that was advantageous to them and disadvantageous to me, I asked a friend who works in medical ethics and billing whether doctors have a duty to serve the client's best financial interest. I was surprised the answer was no because lawyers (my former career) certainly are required to do so.
> The only way someone speaks more than one language is if that person’s parents speak different languages.

That is patently false. The author only thinks that because he doesn't speak more than one language. It's eminently possible to speak a second language even if your parents don't, it just takes more effort than the average person is willing to expend.

Maybe you and parent have a differing interpretation of what 'comfortable' means in such a context.
I didn't downvote you but my guess: because your "opinion" included facts that were so obviously incorrect that they could only be the result of tremendous amounts of bias that make you unable to correctly judge reality. Which makes your "opinion" not a useful contribution on a site that (tries to) value correctness.

If you were able to express your opinion without resorting to tremendous amounts of hyperbolism that make it trivially easy to imagine you as a frothing-at-the-mouth partisan you probably would have been able to more effectively convey whatever it was you wanted to get across to the readers at HackerNews.
We have a lot of recruiters sending us "senior full stack engineers" that dont knoe the language they are most confident in and end up being dev-ops engineers who want to get into coding. A lot of recruiting firms dont know how to to get candidates either
Let me clarify the scenario I'm using, as far as I can see there should not be anyone else touching the repo except production services that depend on it.

1. Push to somewhere (maybe a bare repo, or github/bitbucket).
2. Production clone pulls from the master.

If any issues arise, you can do git reset --hard HEAD^ on the production repo to rollback any changes to an arbitrary prior version.

> However if you have other developers or SRE that have that repo checked out, they'll have problems

What do you mean by this? The production repo should only be read from by production services serving from it (webserver, database, etc). Any engineers shouldn't be making commits to it and merging upstream. It should be purely be used for deployment.

I think maybe you're assuming the production repo is also the master repo? This is not something I recommend and if you use my deploy scenario, this is not how it would be setup. The production repo should just be a clone of the master, purely pulling updates from master just like everyone else, which can be on github or another bare repo that others work from. Except the production repo would also be a read-only repo. You obviously don't SSH in, make hot patches, and commit from there. Based on this, what I suggested (git reset --hard HEAD^) and having a repo deployed on the production server is a best practice for deployment. It allows for effortless roll back to arbitrary prior states, easy post-update hooks for build steps. And should upstream ever be updated, it's one command that just re-syncs (git pull) to any of the latest fixes for whatever went wrong.
I’ve phrased that badly. Obviously the stairs go floor to floor... wall height would obviously be floor to floor minus joists, flooring, ceiling material.
You still don't get it here, and elsewhere.
The parent you complain about is completely correct.
As they said, if your goal is to view all of this as a completely adversarial relationship, with no reason to do so given to you by me, i probably don't want you. I want people who stop to understand the perspective and situations of other people rather than just assume them. If i'm adversarial, fine, i have no problem with you being the same. But you shouldn't assume it.

Interestingly, most talented engineers i know in fact operate the same way. They try to understand the perspective of the other person first (in a meeting, in a negotiation, etc) instead of assuming what it is.

Your framing of this viewpoint as an attitude problem does not look great.
It's not an attitude problem, it's a way of operating problem.

You want to hire people who don't just say "well this other team that isn't doing what i want, so they are clearly stupid, etc". You want to hire the person who says "hey, i wonder why team x feels differently when we both probably want success", and tries to understand their perspective and how they can work together towards some goal.

That is what the most talented engineers do.

She would also like to commit to building 100k affordable homes.

I've been following her on Twitter for a while because she tweets interesting things about city design, but I find this implausible. I did ask for specific how to info to make that happen. She seems to be out campaigning or something. I'm still semi hoping that she will actually reply to me at some point because I would like useful info to apply to my small American town. But I'm not holding my breath here. I will be quite surprised if I get any reply at all from anyone at all. I think most people don't really know how to foster more affordable housing.
I like this quite a lot!
Yes of course.

But .Net is not popular among the cool kids and the small companies. The ones that I prefer working for and will pay more for “adult supervision”/architect types.

Even if you do find a .Net/Windows type of company, they aren’t going to be using server side rendering with razor pages and ASP.Net MVC. They are going to want to use a front end framework.

Then if you are in a cloud environment or any environment for that matter, you really don’t want to tie your horse to Windows/.Net Framework or Sql Server. You want to be using .Net Core and one of the open source or open source compatible databases.

You don’t want to be using jquery in 2018.

Of course you can find jobs using Asp.Net MVC/Jquery/IIS/SQL Server, etc. but that’s not what you want to hang your horse on.

I would much rather stay with .Net than to move to Node, but the market has spoken.

That even applies to variants of English.

I'm Irish, so I speak Hiberno-English. After the company I worked for was acquired by a California startup my new boss wanted to welcome this new Irish contingent. At the tail end of a keynote speech he delivered at our first off-site he uttered the phrase "build great shite".

He tried to put an Irish slant on things, except the word shite only has negative connotations, it is not a general substitute word like shit can be.
Unless "ratings weren't working" means "ratings caused customers to decline to watch content they knew in advance they wouldn't like". Which, from the customer's point of view, means "worked very well."

Eating in the lab is poor form, it goes against all the social norms a manufacturing chemist has imbibed during their training. Such poor discipline usually points to further trouble, and indeed there are deeper problems:

If I got that question I’m not sure I’d say it was “frank”. Sure, it’s asking me to be honest, but that isn’t the same thing.

Maybe just me, but I don’t think asking the same question in a different way should be expected to elicit a different answer. My bottom number would be whatever it would normally be and the top number would be a bit higher.
The author's intended meaning, in context, is I think: "the only way someone speaks more than one language [without occasionally getting caught by tricky corners of usage or idiom]." I still agree with you that it's overstrong, but read charitably they simply meant that language is ever sneaky.
They are taking advantage of misaligned interests. You get to choose what drug to get (in consultation with your doctor), and you and your insurance pay for it together.

The drug company sets a super high price, gives you a rebate to cover your share, and then charges your insurance company an arm and a leg. By doing this, they can net more money than if they had a lower price and got money from both you and your insurance company.

This practice also happens in auto repairs, where shops will "waive your deductible" and then charge your insurance company an inflated price. See discussion toward the end of this article: https://www.4autoinsurancequote.com/blog/when-is-deductible-...
If the ratings show you that there aren't any shows you'll like, then you won't watch them. If you don't watch any shows, might as well unsubscribe.
Peoples' definitions of "possible" vs. "impossible" seem to be shifting these days. Like the people who say it's "impossible" to lose weight via diet and exercise when what they really mean is "it's hard and I'm gonna choose not to do it." No, Susan, it's perfectly possible, you just have to actually choose to eat less.

Likewise I know plenty of people who speak more than one language despite not growing up in a bilingual family. I only speak one (human) language myself but that's because I haven't bothered, not because I can't.

Edit: As sibling poster points out, the statement is much more defensible if the intended meaning is "to speak more than one language like a native" which does tend to require growing up among native speakers of the language, although they don't have to be in the family home. I know people whose parents barely speak a word of English, yet they speak it natively because they've grown up in an English-speaking country.
Based on my experience interviewing over the past several years, the companies that have a 'production' system seem to only value experience with their tech stack.
This dispute isn't about my grief, despite your manipulative comments, nor does it have anything to do with Poe's law.

It's about you pushing buttons by making insensitive and disrespectful comments, then continuing to feign ignorance, avoiding responsibility for your hurtful words and finally trying to shift blame for the situation onto me.

The technical term for what you're doing is emotional abuse and gaslighting. This behavior is typically observed in those who have had it done to them. If you were paying me to be your therapist, I could help you fix the bugs in your psyche. But I'm not your therapist, and you seem to recognize nothing odd about your behavior, so there's no point in continuing the conversation at this time. Be well.
GoodRx is a pharmacy benefit manager, most insurance companies use a pharmacy benefit manager. What they do is negotiate prices for some certain set of drugs. So 2 insurance companies might have 2 different prices than GoodRx and each of the 3 will offer a slightly different set of drugs.

When you use insurance and pay the co-pay, that counts against your out of pocket maximum on the plan. Prescriptions bought with GoodRx don't.

The insurance isn't doing a great job when they charge a co-pay that is larger than the price GoodRx has negotiated, but it isn't evidence of a scam.
In my limited experience I've come to the conclusion that you can only trust a doctor to diagnose the most common diseases. Most GPs aren't even well versed in cancer incidence, and will dismiss cancer symptoms as something else, unless the evidence is overwhelming. But it's understandable that, when presented with a few symptoms, a doctor will be biased towards common affectations.

That leaves the burden of proof on yourself. If you feel that something is not right with your body, pester your doctor until you get a satisfactory solution. Unless you're a hypochondriac, that is.
> Doctors can only be so involved in the pharmacy side of the transaction and a lot of pharmacists aren't able to intervene.

Pharmacists can intervene a lot more than your doctor friend lets on. A good pharmacist will tell the patient there is a generic version of the drug when the doctor wrote a script for a brand name.

A good pharmacist will also tell you not to use your copay when its more than the out of pocket cost.

A bad pharmacist will do neither of those, but they are 2 simple questions anyone can ask when they go to get their prescriptions filled.

Is there a generic? Is it cheaper than my copay?

I learned the hard way after coming home with an Rx that was more expensive than I remembered. Wife found out they gave my brand name "well thats what the doctor wrote!" and chewed her out.

That said, if you are OK with privacy concerns or don't have the time to call yourself, GoodRx is nice to find the lowest cost as they definitely aren't standard and some places even have certain drugs for free.

Actually, it's pretty straightforward. Everything before 2018 really happened in our reality. Everything afterward is dystopian speculation.
A twenty-two year old straight out of school might think you're his friend.

I know, and you know, we aren't friends.

Don't ask me what I need. That's none of your business. I don't need anything. Tell me what I'm worth to you, then pick a respectful cut. I already have a good idea about the right number, and I'll fight for it, because I've already made people a lot of money. They weren't friends either, but we've sure as hell shaken hands with genuine shit-eating grins on our faces because we're capable professionals, and we didn't pretend. That's the recipe for success.

I am not referring to recruiting companies that just send developers to a company. I am referring to recruiting companies that have full time staffed developers and project managers that manage the project for you in the beginning and then slowly help you build up your own staff.

Some will have a combination of onsite developers, “rural source” developers who are in a cheaper part of the US, contractors and outsourced developers but they manage the entire project.

I was offered such a position - the pay is above market but it required too much travel for me now.

Hell no, I love the low friction travel. But I haven't been asked for an ID on Amtrak since the mid 2000s when they still served booze on that line. On the line I use most frequently they never ask for an ID. And a ticket for tomorrow works for today. Almost nothing nothing in that faq is adhered to on my experience.
Ask HN: How do you remember your tasks?
I'm terribly forgetful. I require a written list if I need more than 3 items from the grocery store.

However, I don't find the grocery store list helpful when programming. I've kept written notes, but I rarely go back and read them so I tend to forget things.

My largest problem is that I haven't been able to find a good way to handle really large tasks, small tasks that are part of the large tasks, and small independent tasks. How can I keep track of all these things in a way that still makes them all actionable?
If they always maintain a switch to turn it off, then this is neutral at its worst. I flipped the switch to not have tests conducted on my account, but if this stops being a test then I want to flip this crap off too.

That said, I like it when services play the next episode immediately after the one I just watched. I can just let it continue to progress and stop it anytime I want. I certainly don't want that interrupted by advertisements, whether for in-house Netflix shows or some other crap, it is still just advertisements and part of the reason I pay Netflix at all is because it doesn't have ads, and am willing and able to cancel my account if they turn into Hulu.
One can also do this... When asked what your compensation requirements are, simply say you need to research what realistic salaries are in the current market before answering the question. If pressed for an answer, just say doing that research is important to you, and that if they really need an answer before continuing, you'll come find them when you have an answer. This allows you to plainly state your preference, respect their process, and it gives you time to come up with a number you'd actually want. The recruiter may just back off and let you proceed without asking for a number until much later in the process.
