You're new to the organization and were hired to help the company go from rough, ship-first, relatively low quality practices to high quality and scalable best practices.

In order to make this a reality, you're going to need to first be very understanding and cognizant of the existing team and the reason they do what they do.

This is the only way to inform your decisions on:

1. Which changes are most high priority ie business impact

2. Which changes will require significant team buy-in

3. Which changes will make the most sense for your team

I very strongly recommend you start with some easy wins:

- Bad key management? Use env variables

- Autoscaling (as you mentioned)

- Clean up no longer in-use aws services to save $$$

Once you've made an improvement or two, then start tackling some of the problems that require more buy-in.

This is anything that affects others' workflows or pace of work.

If the founder is cowboy-coding and pushing things directly to prod, you're going to need to get his buy-in to change his workflow.
Come up with a document, plan, or RFC for anything that requires buy-in. Get comments from relevant parties for your plan. Then, and only then, implement the plan.

3 weeks really isn't that long. You still have plenty of time to right this ship.
KDE Neon review
That’s a bit like saying it’s barbaric that in the 18th century doctors never ever sent blood off to be tested (or looked at under a microscope).

We can’t really expect doctors to do things that aren’t really very possible (yes dna sequencing is somewhat possible today but the results aren’t necessarily very useful and far too little is known about the interaction of different genes with each other and medicine for it to be useful)
A database can be owned. I am very uneasy with anything that can be owned by one person hypothetically where many have contributed.
Well, except that there are actually quite a few. Git (distributed version control), for instance. Currencies, for another. Asset trading of any kind. Supply chain management and authenticity validation. Maybe you think those things are 'few', but they are quite critical.
Lot of women this year, great!
Point taken. You are correct.

Too late to edit now but I apologize.
As someone who is not very financially orientated, I find this difficult. Firstly because I don't really have a feeling for what that % means - presumably the ratio of market cap to book depth gives an indication of how sensitive the market cap is to large orders. So it combines liquidity and total volume - but I don't know why you would combine them into one statistic? Either I want a single number which means something clear, which this fails on. Or I want more information, in which case isn't it just better to tell the market cap AND book depth?

Also whilst market cap is easy to measure, book depth seems more difficult. How far away from the touch do you count? A million dollar offer which values bitcoin at 3cents represents almost no information. Firstly because by the time the price drops there's no way that offer will still be good and secondly because even if that offer were still good that change in price would represent a total shift in the market.

Also, this seems to compare apples to oranges, because some coins will contain market makers who are likely to leave orders in the book and cancel in response to signals, thereby creating phantom liquidity whilst others won't have enough volume to attract market makers and so all the depth is real.
I'm assuming that you've ready verified that you can run a Linux distro on these as root. From h/w specs (2) is much better as it has 8GB ram which is still rather low i.e. do one thing at a time (no opening eclipse and chrome together though you could use a lighter browser). 128gb storage is also much more reasonable than 32gb of (1) which is more like a phone with a 15" screen.
David and Goliath by Malcolm Gladwell – digested read (2013)
What you've said is true in the same way that if you could just estimate the winning lottery numbers for me, we could increase revenue drastically.

Even though it would be incredibly useful to have, it is effectively impossible to give an accurate value other than for trivial or massively constrained problems.
The name reminds me on the Rete algorithm, which is pretty cool, but unrelated:

Saturday used to be a workday. It might have remained a workday for shops to make it easier for the Monday to Friday, nine to five, people to go shopping.

Shops used to close at 6:30pm, which made it difficult to do shopping after work. So being able to go shopping on Saturday was important.

When I was much younger, I thought that adults didn’t know how to use new tech, and that’s why they didn’t bother with new fangled tech like Facebook.

Now that I’m closing in on my 30th birthday, I realize I had it all wrong. I can use snapchat, I just don’t understand why I would want to use it.

I’m curious what Snapchat will do to try and entice people like me into using it. From where I sit, I’m having a very hard time imagining what they could possibly do.
> Remember when the web just worked?

I don't think there's ever been a time where incorrect webserver configurations like that were impossible to make.
> Views like this are very unhelpful and help to perpetuate shame

No, my view is a hard-earned perspective that I've gained through personally having the system fail me. I lost a decade of my life to the medication-first mentality and I resent your implication that trying to help others avoid the same outcome is in any way dangerous.

I do concede that drugs work for some people, but views like yours that lead to over-medication are what is truly dangerous. What we need is well-rounded advice that allows patients to make informed decisions about their road to recovery. Medication is one possible path, but it's not the only path and it's not without it's downsides. It can ruin lives just as much as it can save lives, and people need to know that. It permanently alters brain chemistry, so it's an irrevocable choice, unlike almost all other approaches.
‘We Are the Nerds’ Review: The Front Page of the Internet
Sections are the step before separate files for me.
Can someone explain why I would use this instead of Python + Pulp or Pyomo, or Julia + JuMP.
ProtonVPN has a free plan, I recommend it quite strongly. Netflix works on the server I use, though I'm not sure if it works for all servers. P2P traffic is not allowed on free servers.

Support is okay, not the fastest. Downtime is rare but not unheard of, they've been targeted with big DDoS attacks. Server options expanding but not in tons of countries. Most trustworthy and reputable service because it has a CEO you can actually put a name and a face to, and the history of Protonmail.
Did they fix the problem where disabling javascript didn't enable the `<noscript>` tag?
I've oft wondered if we'll ever see any big discussions (i.e. Not just some random person's blog post) of post-Westphalian sovereignty applied to the Internet. Maybe GDPR is something that will kick that nest.
I certainly don't accelerate faster than the average car. I've heard other cyclists claim to and I basically just assume they are mistaken (apart from maybe some tiny subset of cyclists who race)...

Filtering on the right to pass and then immediately taking the lane for an extended period of time is certainly rude, and would piss me off as well. It's not something I've seen or would do myself but I can easily believe there are cyclists doing it.

The trick with the whole 'car as a shield thing' is I'm assuming you won't see me, but if I pass through the intersection with a car traveling in the same direction to my left it doesn't matter, you literally couldn't hit me short of shoving that car into me. The phrase I've heard for this sort of stuff is riding as if you were invisible. You're right that a car behind me is almost as good, but that assumes that I'm not the last person in the line.
France also has a 20% VAT.
Oh shit, I didn't even know about shorthand notation. That saves me a line break in my Medium writeup. THANK YOU. Thanks for the in-depth critique! I'd be worried if you saw the code I wrote for a living.
Ask HN: If you provide a free trial period for your product, how long is it?
And why?
One thing I don't totally understand is the context in which the TypeScript is intended to be run. Server? Client? If client, I find it surprising to introduce a QuerySet-like API.

Interestingly "Doctors in Shetland are to start prescribing birdwatching, rambling and beach walks in the Atlantic winds to help treat chronic and debilitating illnesses for the first time. From Friday [5 Oct 2018], doctors working in the 10 GP surgeries on the islands will be authorised by the archipelago’s health board, NHS Shetland, to issue 'nature prescriptions' to patients to help treat mental illness, diabetes, heart disease, stress and other conditions."

Without these treatments, he could have been alive today. It's a great shame.
It's a turn lane, you enter it from the left (either direction) and then can sit there until it's safe to turn into a driveway.
USB Typewriter – Retrofitting classic typewriters with modern tech
I saw this exact scenario happen as well.

A startup had some turnover and several negative glassdoor reviews (none of which were mine). At this point, HR started posting absurdly fake reviews and then a week or two later all but one of the negative reviews had been removed.

The company even went so far as to announce in an all-hands how detrimental it was to post negative reviews on Glassdoor and solicited any and all positive feedback.
I worked few years ago for Accenture (biggest consulting company on Earth) writing some SQL/Python for one of the largest European Bank.

"Geologic Time includes Now"
Hide all your desktop apps with one click
The paper indicates 1-2K of temperature increase from current levels of AHR which is 4 to 8 times as great as the hypothetical situation in the papers that you have now elected to insult me for criticizing.

In the discussed papers ALL energy consumption is generated by renewables (includes transport, air conditioning etc). You must understand that entails ALL AHR (besides a tiny fraction of body heat)

Presently almost all AHR is created by burning fossil fuels - producing waste heat (a portion of AHR) and useful energy which is used and then surely ?? you know this >> ends up as heat again (the other portion of AHR)

So my faith is good here - you feel free not continue, especially in the manner you started.
No, this is right, you have wrong. You have your gross salary (brut) on which you and your employer pay taxes (routhly 30%). And then on top of that you pay the tax you describe with a progressive tax rate up to 45%. So on average, 45% seems good to me.
LaTeXTools in Sublime et al. will erase the temp files with a shortcut, plus you can add more extensions to clean in case you use packages that add more temp files.
Hope the average HN reader is aware that Breitbart is banned on HN, as a submission source.
Maybe it’s different for other majors, I don’t know, but as an engineering student at UC Berkeley, I can guarantee you that no one cares or has the time. The only thing that’s on their minds is the next problem set, midterm, or final. That or they’re doing LeetCode/Cracking The Code Interview prep since it’s internship interviewing season right now.

I think it’s easy to fall into the trap of conspiracy theories, and honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if the Chinese government has tried to overtly influence university students, considering how blatant their attempts at intellectual property thefts are, but the spy novel you think is real life really isn’t.
Basically: no. Found better luck with Toptal.
It’s like a humblebrag in a sense- saying something that seems relevant, but it’s really just an excuse to put other people down and exalt oneself in a roundabout way. I see it a lot on HN and it always comes across as very very young people who haven’t had to make tough choices in their lives yet. When people describe tough choices in such oversimplified terms, I think they think it makes them sound tough and wise but it really sounds naive and narcissistic.

Ditto for people who brag about getting triggered by some question in a job interview that they feel is beneath them, so they claim that they got up and left the interview right then and there, as if that’s something to brag about. It’s so cringey every time some HN poster brags about immediately bailing on an interview because they thought someone asked them a dumb question.
salary vs contractor is pretty similar to wholesale vs retail. if you know up front that you need a large amount of work from someone over a long period of time, you hire them as an FTE with a salary. the wholesale rate for developer time is much lower than what a comparable contractor will charge you per hour for the convenience of only paying for the hours where they do useful work.

a possible reason why it is uneconomic to give gig economy workers salaries is because the necessary discount would put them below minimum wage.
Maybe unconventional successes in entertainment tend to be hard to replicate because they require years gaining expertise and creating a strong product and that the ebbs and flows of public taste happen to favour that product when it comes out.

If you're lucky, you might score a long shot at a moving target from very far away, but it will be hard to score a second one.
The top marginal tax bracket in CA is for single people making $1M+, and higher if married. That's a lot, even for software engineers.

A more realistic total combined tax for most people is well under 50%.
OP was mistaken to claim 'mass migrations' of any kind - that was clearly made up.

alternatively, I'm always receptive to reports about experiences.

I'm very skeptical about demands to produce "empirical evidence" for or against any sociological programming practice, because it tends to be a method to place the burden of proof on the opposing side, while reserving the default position for own own side - which just turns out to be a way to normalize one's own beliefs.

Having thought about it a bit, a shredder is a complicated and unreliable machine for a stunt like this. I reckon there was a roller hidden in the frame with (half) a pre-shredded painting on it. The roller then rolls in the main painting while dispensing the shredded version. Much simpler, and easier to test.
Thinking About Attention [video]
The "If your point..." is important and should not be left out. I don't understand the point rayiner was making. I made a deduction on what I think he/she was attempting to say and specifically qualified my statement with "if your point...". This is an implicit acknowledgement that I'm guessing and could be wrong.

Statements have implications and a part of communication is that both parties end up making assumptions/deductions about what the other party is truly saying. This is why communication is hard. This is especially true for written communication. So it's possible for a person to mean something without explicitly stating so. For instance if I make the two statements:

All men are mortal.

Socrates is a man.

Then one can deduce that I'm saying Socrates is mortal (and edit on my part here) even though I didn't make that explicit claim. Of course, if I'm illogical - and this frequently happens - I may or may not intend to imply this.
Some people can change to some degree, some can’t. Some people for example can recover from PTSD with time and talk therapy, and if you insist on others doing that they’ll end up killing themselves. Not taking medication is just as much of a fallacious “one-size-fits-all” solution as insisting that everyone take medication.

Yep, in some circles the prevailing law is that cheating is fine until you get caught. The issue here is that Brian walked away from the board while orders were being read. No one has a responsibility to make sure your orders are adjudicated correctly.
By '80 or so it was possible to link to assembler, and the recipe was to code inner loops in assembler. With a Digital Equipment LSI-11 CPU and its simple, highly regular machine code, this was workable for a time.
If there was a secret agreement, the quickness of responses from both implicated parties here reads well. I could definitely see the NSA having contractual language like "Upon suspicion by members of the media, the communications department of Company X should fully deny any and all implications of working with the NSA within 24 hours"
I really want this to be a thing, but my rough calculations given the total cross section area of the sail and the average wind conditions on shipping routes come out to as close to nil as makes any difference for ships these size.

I posted a very rough calculation on the last HN post about this and got downvoted for some reason. I guess everyone else wants this to be a thing so much they are happy to set aside physics through sheer force of will. HN people and the investors / instigators of this project.

This is one time I'm desperately wanting to find out I'm completely wrong.

My last post in a nutshell - these things are order of magnitude the same size as the sail on my own sail boat. Forget about the type of sail. Even if 100% of that wind energy was converted to forward motion it's going to do essentially nothing in the context of a big ship.
Good, now you need to design an index to that database.

Both games lasted a long time (one was in person for 10 hours before we ended it, the other was an online game with one turn made per week). Both times I was completely crippled (if someone is going to betray you in Diplomacy they better cripple you or they're going to be fighting multiple fronts later, and that's really hard to do in Diplomacy), and had to basically observe what happened for the rest of it.

I still stand by my statement. It's just a game. Just because it took a few extra hours than most doesn't mean it should permanently damage friendships. Maybe take a week or two break from everyone to decompress from the absolutely intense and crazy experience, but not permanently damage a friendship. That's the sign of a very weak friendship, I feel.

As for more at stake...what's at stake? A 'yay, I won!'? It's not a poker tournament where the winner is going to take home $100,000+.
Hmmm, interesting perspective. However, forget about the denialist fringe for a moment. The majority of people do understand that climate change is bad, and most feel paralyzed into inaction by all the doom-and-gloom messaging – welp, looks like we're all screwed, now let me get back to what I was doing.

Few understand that climate change is still very much a solvable problem, and that our success crucially depends on building the political will for new policies around carbon pricing and land use — and that, in turn, hinges on creating an understanding for the scales at which such policies must and can enact change. The current mainstream discourse, on the other hand, is half fatalistic cynicism, and half turn-off-the-lights-and-reuse-your-plastic-bags blather.

Ergo, talking about policy change is important, no?

To be honest, when I am using LaTeX, I just want to write without any interruption. That's why I install texlive-full. Since I am (almost) guaranteed that whatever I encountered, I would be able to do it.

Exactly. I'm "gay married" and I thought what they did to Brendan Eich was wrong. He donated money a few years prior. That's it. He didn't rant and rave at company meetings or take any public action that had anything to do with the company.

Note that the "women" at Facebook are using very specific language. It looks like they're trying to set the stage for a hostile work environment lawsuit all because some man's friend attended a SCOTUS nomination hearing.
Searchlores at the time was a disappointing pivot from Fravia's pages of reverse engineering. Searchlores was all about advanced search techniques and finding the unfindable; reverse engineering was about decoding binaries and knowing the unknowable. Little did I then realize that Fravia had the foresight to see what the internet will become, and that instead of stepping through binaries in SoftICE in search of understanding, we'll be drowned in open-source code that'll never be read.
Speaking of readability, here's a readable copy of that quote:

> The address FFFFFFF0H is beyond the 1-MByte addressable range of the processor while in real-address mode. The processor is initialized to this starting address as follows. The CS register has two parts: the visible segment selector part and the hidden base address part. In real-address mode, the base address is normally formed by shifting the 16-bit segment selector value 4 bits to the left to produce a 20-bit base address. However, during a hardware reset, the segment selector in the CS register is loaded with F000H and the base address is loaded with FFFF0000H. The starting address is thus formed by adding the base address to the value in the EIP register (that is, FFFF0000 + FFF0H = FFFFFFF0H).

(Don't use indentation to format a block quote, only use it for code listings.)

This is a huge factor I'd like to emphasize and write about in a follow up post, having worked on many Clojure projects at different companies now... Another Year in Clojure :)

I've maintained some large Clojure codebases I didn't write, and the easy ones shared this quality. The more painful ones were reminiscent of large OOP codebases and honestly I would've preferred they'd been written in Java.
