Great read, two things I found interesting:

1. The whole mental gymnastics of tournaments’ attempts to depict courtsiding as illegal, it feels reminiscent of many moral outrage arguments these days. It’s not enough to say that a certain behavior is wrong, we now need to broadly paint everyone who doesn’t follow our rules as bad people. I see this everywhere nowadays and I don’t like it, nuance and mutual understanding is the only way any adversarial situation ever achieves resolution.

2. You’d think that it’d be very easy with today’s technologies to remain undetected while transmitting these simple pieces of information. I'm curious how these spotters actually find courtsiders, especially those with no history in the industry.
Even when the dishwasher is good at cleaning, too much stuck-on food starts to gunk up the drain and jets of the dishwasher. It gets the dishes clean, but there are definitely still long-term maintenance headaches that you avoid. IMO, that maintenance is easier than rinsing every day, but it's concentrated pain rather than diffused.
Why not reuse Common Lisp macros?
There's definitely still a sewage treatment plant near the site of the accident:

But you can't discount the difference between the dictionary definition of "sewage" versus the reality of incidental pollution as discovered in-situ.

> Why didn't he work internally to prevent these issues?

What makes you think he didn't?

> Why are we taking advice from someone who lets others fail so he and his team look better?

From the quote, Fred brooks was clearly the boss of both the architecture manager and the control program manager. He wasn't part of any one team. I don't see the kind of conflict of interest you're hinting at.

> It sounds like he was pleased to let them fail, so he could be correct with no effort.

To me, it sounds like he simply made a bad call, and was saying "oops".
I started my 9-5 coding job back in 2014, i quickly realized my body was going to shit. Now a days i take two decently long walks, halfway thru morning and halfway thru afternoon. Anywhere from 5-20 minutes depending on weather and how busy of a day it is.

I build up so much crap at my office, mainly mental crap. After a couple hours of slack/code/etc i lose my focus and it helps to turn off everything and reset. "Ok , now what do i _really_ need to accomplish in the next two hours, for myself. Not for co-worker that needs help that I have been helping"

Apart from the 'reset', i do tend to think of different solutions for various problems that are floating about my brain while walking as well. Different data structures, process flows, refactors etc.

I mean I'd say that in civil conversation, face to face. Is swearing the problem? I was providing substantive contributions to the conversation, whereas conversant was, in my opinion, doing neither of these:

> Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

> Please don't post shallow dismissals

But perhaps doing neither of them more "civilly"? I'm genuinely looking for guidance on handling of this thread, not trying to argue. Thanks.
I bow to your experience, but I can see how technical manuals similar to recipe books could definitely benefit from notes that say "this did/didn't work because...". If you've got rubbish colleagues, then yes you've got a problem, but also you could have an excellent record from the old master that just retired.

You could keep notes as separate pages in the book, but having the notes in context does appear to have the potential to enhance a manual rather than ruin it.
Maybe hobbyists should say "SLA" if they mean "SLA". This is like people who say "wheat bread" as the antonym of "white bread" — what do you suppose they think white bread is made from? (And it sets them up to be ripped off, as there plenty of manufacturers out there who are happy to sell them "wheat bread" made from 75% white flour.)

>Jose Antonio Chambers, Loggan’s son, a Chicago police officer, told me, “My father is old school — never complains about nothing, never. My mother too. There were times it was hard to get food on the table, and they did not complain.” He said his father was great with numbers, that “if he hadn’t grown up in the South at that time, if opportunities had been there, he might have done something else. But he got this job, he did it well, held on to it, and there needs to be a lot of respect for someone like that.”

I can't speak for Loggan. If he's happy, he's happy. Still, this smacks of, I dunno. I imagine an 1800s factory owner twirling his moustache while saying "mm yes, my workers, they don't put up much of a fuss at all!" Or maybe, a Lord looking across the fields and saying "the peasants have learned to keep their thoughts to themselves."

I grew up poor and in the rust belt, then the south. Blue collar. This bootstrap republican mindset always baffled me. I could watch TV at Walmart, I saw how most Americans lived. When friend's parents would talk about how they proudly were putting in hour after hour at the same pay and "never raising a fuss about it," I'd wonder why. Why didn't it piss them off that their boss had a Cadillac while they took a bus, and yet they were both in the factory the same hours? Boss in air conditioning, friend's dad on the factory floor.

It was like my class was getting off to how shitty their lives was. I had a fluke of genes or radical parents or something and so instead I got pissed off and made a fuckload of money and broke out, but all my old friends are still just there, stuck, masturbating to how good they are at being blue collar. And I run the risk of being labelled a liberal elite trying to claim I know better, because "they're happy, aren't they?!" Well, sure, I guess they gotta be!

Now that I was lucky enough to get educated, I'm convinced it boils down to that. One of Loggan's family even suggested it as a reason he didn't seek more. "He didn't get much education, so maybe that smoothed things out for them." So I have all sorts of crazy theories about the rich defunding education to make sure the proles stay in line... There's a Peanuts single panel comic where one of the characters is sitting at a desk saying "Nobody is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them."
I just thought it was an interesting omission from the headline.

Long story short:

* Kubernetes helps you manage your containerized applications at scale.

* You can swap out the container engine you are using. Docker is one option.

* Applications are wrapped in containers

* One or more containers are wrapped in pods.

* One or more pods runs on a node.

* The master manages all the nodes.

* Pluralsight is a good resource to get started.
Worst case Elixir result is you become an Erlang programmer instead.
Same exact experience - the book has only one related chapter, and that's paraphrased in the "Art of Manliness" blog. My concern is that I found NO evidence that this program ever took place. I dunno about the technique working.
Bridebook is hiring a Full-Stack Developer to work remotely
My grandfather worked on the HST mirror. It's both what he was most proud of, and the most ashamed of, at the same time.

He talked about this not really as a single person's fault (except in terms of a senior manager's failure), but as an organizational problem. He pointed out two things:

1. In particular, the organization was poorly designed, with QA being too close (in org chart terms) to production. If there's one finger to point, it's at the guy who was the common manager of both departments. And I think this is something that the engineering profession has taken to heart since then.

2. People at the time thought of things with somewhat different priorities because the context changed. At the time the mirror was being built, it was understood that the space shuttle would make it relatively simpler to fix serious problems (well, as "simpler" as any space missions could be). As it turned out, the space shuttle was less effective in that role than its initial requirements led HST management to believe. This probably led to a more relaxed attitude about the ultimate result of any problems.

is this a new headcount or am i replacing someone

In my experience, you never get an honest answer on this one. If there is a vacancy because someone quit, they're not going to say why they quit. They probably don't know themselves since HR never shares exit interviews with others - if they happen at all.

If it's not an open seat and they're replacing someone, they're not going to say that either to avoid tipping off the current employees that someone is about to be sacked.

I'm always amazed by the % of people that work for large companies and never monitor the open jobs page on the website. They seem shocked when told that there are open reqs in their own group.

Do you expect Tesla to produce less Model 3 in each 2019 quarter than they have made in the past 3 months?

I understand that people can distrust Musk's goal but expecting Tesla production to go down significantly from now on is quite a stretch.

Again, they made 28,578 Model 3s in Q2 and will certainly produce 50K in Q3 (the low end of Tesla's most recent predictions).

The 50K for 2018 is proven wrong already. This Reuters number is simply bullshit or FUD.

The 100K for next years implies that Tesla can't even maintain the production level they've reach at the end of Q2, even though they've already surpass it.

Something's very wrong in their report and yet, all the mainstream media post it "as is".
Ask HN: Open source healthcare systems to work on
Hi, I'm looking for an open source healthcare system or medical device software to work on in my spare time. I've gone through a list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source_health_software but most seem unsupported anymore or acquired. Wondering if anybody knows of good open source projects in this field worth contributing to?
For years growing up, I'd notice that sometimes when I had my eyes closed, there were sometimes glowing circles in the darkness. Sometimes they'd be colorful and others they were like the typical photo of an eclipse. It was usually just as I was drifting off, I'd notice them.

Years later I realized that I could make them appear at-will by wiggling my eyes around (a la REM), and that lead me to conclude that it's likely my overly-long (i'm severely myopic) eyeballs physically stimulating my optic nerves.

I don't notice it as much lately, and I avoid doing it on purpose, in case it's not healthy.
I agree! The only thing more intuitive than a pen is perhaps a blade. Writing on a computer is messy and full of temptations to resist. When it's just paper there's nothing and that is important: you need space and time for your own thoughts!

I'm sure that what he's saying is that this is a feeble way of complying, not that it's non-complying. The site has apparently chosen to simply block European users, and then to display the insultingly evasive and insincere corporatese message that GP quoted. If the site doesn't wish to take on the burden of complying with the GDPR in a meaningful way that allows access, they should say so honestly.
The similarity between optimization passes and transformations verses what one sees with mathematical algebraic simplifications and substitutions is not mere coincidence.
"Here" is 1 kilometer. If we allow to change the distance the purpose of the app itself will be change. The purpose is to be always in location context, if the user enter a distance of 1000KM then it becomes more like twitter.
On the upside, the industry is now getting used to not just bending over and taking it from Apple on this. Most portable programs will be written against against the subset of Vulkan which is practical to implement on top of Metal, and Apple will see roughly no gains from pushing their proprietary API.

Weren't quite a few major cities in Europe founded around monestaries? Seems very reasonable to me that temple sites could be precursors to villages the same way bountiful rivers and coastlines could be.

To vastly oversimplify: Religious/cultural sites become a center for pilgrimage, festivals, etc. Those lead to people being around, those people bring things with them that leads to trade, and eventually some people settle in the area for various reasons and then you have a village.

>I always hear things like this. What exactly are they contributing though?

Their employees contribute tons of code to the kernel and they're a premium partner in the Linux foundation paying Linus's salary. They contribute to the kernel, hadoop, mesos, k8s, they contribute to gcc, heck they let you run linux on windows now with Linux subsystem and have official partnerships with redhat, suse, ubuntu. They also open sourced C#, they contribute to jenkins, so much mroe.

> The pay back when they are pre-teens is going to be painful.

And when they’re teens, and young adults, and older adults too. I think that misparenting & malparenting (and miseducation & maleducation) are to blame for a lot of our modern problems, e.g. school shootings (something which, so far as I can tell, essentially didn’t exist until the 90s, despite weapons being a huge part of American culture for over 200 years).

I don’t believe we should ignore technology, and indeed it offers a lot for parenting (e.g. phones could enable parents to allow their children more freedom, rather than being used to grant them less). But as a society we’ve not figured out how to use it wisely yet.

I also think that we’ve deliberately ignored the lessons of the past and of other cultures, but that quickly becomes an entirely different discussion …

Be careful not to fall into your own filter bubble.

The other side uses "othering" as well. If the right blames "immigrants" for everything, the left blames "nazis". Which would not be a bad thing, except that today you are a "nazi" if you just carry an american flag, even if you are a true Bernie supporter:

> However, as he marched with fellow progressives, he says members of Antifa saw that he was carrying an American Flag and immediately ordered him to drop the flag, calling it a "fascist symbol". When Welch refused to comply, he says they tried to rip the flag from his hands, and then hit him in the back of his head with a club that was hidden in black fabric.
At least someone tried which is more than can be said about many sociology studies.

Where I live people cycle and walk on old country roads all the time. I am a cyclist and have no issue sharing the road, but I find myself starting to hate the cyclists and pedestrians because none of them seem to have any idea that when they are out at night and wearing black/dark clothes, not having any reflective material on their clothes or bike, or have any type of light makes them almost invisible, well invisible until I'm on top of them.

I have outstanding night time vision, I've had it checked, and I have outstanding depth perception, also checked.

If seeing in the light is tricky, darkness is probably 10x worse.

Just last night I had a guy crossing wearing a black hoodie, black pants, and black shoes, he was crossing along a stretch of 2 lane road where there are apartment buildings but no street lights, or cross walk. I saw him but only because the two cars in front of me illuminated him. The guy was walking on the shoulder near the white line, I don't think the cars in front of me saw him at all, even when they passed him because he almost got clipped by the mirror of the car in front of me. I guess that was too close for him so he just turned and started crossing, he never looked, and I was maybe 30 yards away driving the speed limit which was 40. Luckily I had seen him and was fully expecting him to do something stupid so I was ready when he started to cross.

I live near a university, and there is a street that runs right through the middle of the school. It has 3 different types of lights, high pressure sodium, LED, and Halogen all in about 50 yards, the section of the street is well lit, but because of the different lights and the color of the light it's damn near impossible to see students when they are darting out from between cars. A lot of people I know avoid that street at night because they feel like they can't see anything event though it's well lit. I've notified the university, and they don't even respond to my letters.
