Bugs yes, crashes no. If you go with React Native research how to include the JavaScript stacktrace when submitting a crash report to crashlytics etc. It will make tracing things easier.

A big problem with React Native is upgrading versions and third party libraries. This is the biggest pain point for most people I work with. Things break regularly and you have to be very careful with regard to reading release notes and testing.
Our teams have a hard size limit, after that we split and get a manager for the other team. If a manager is managing more than a handful of people, he can no longer give members the attention they need.
I appreciate you trying to help me. I am sorry if I sounded arrogant in my original post, that wasn’t my intention.

That being said, I don’t think this is about me being “average” or not. I don’ even think it is possible to measure how “good” people are in a global scale. People with different skillsets are good for different positions.

My main question is whether or not I am lacking a specific skill, what that skill is and how to acquire it. Or even if I should give up on managing people and going back to being an IC.

From what I understood based on your comment, sounds like you believe I should improve my communication skills. Is this the case? Do you think just communicating more with the people I am having problems with is enough?

I wasn't referring to "hacking" the way you took it. I meant it in terms of how the article used it, I totally agree and understand Hacker News is not just about hacking, in the context you mean. I just meant like this article, in general, is pretty low quality and just about poor password usage from the person they interviewed. No data breach or anything in terms of Nest.

Nothing to worry about: Congress will simply pass a law that makes it illegal to get brain cancer from cell phones. Problem solved!
It was in 2013. And the international press seems to be much more focused on Petrobras, where the NSA stole a lot of data than Embraer where it just stole some emails.

That all makes sense, and I tried to talk towards this when I referred to putting the rest of the syntax required to define a function.

That is, I have fallen to the trap of claiming lisp has little syntax before. The idea being that I can walk the tree, so I'm walking an AST. But i realize now that is abusing the S in AST. There is plenty of syntax there that can be checked.

I would like to not steer others down that trap. Thanks for expanding in it here!
Never knew that countenance could be used like that. TIL
>Isn't it going to be hard to use any biological process to sequester carbon for long periods?

Based on my research, in general, yes. However if you can store biological matter like algae or the Azolla fern in an anoxic environment, you significantly increase how long you can store it.

If you go read about the Azolla event, this is what is believed to have happened roughly 49 million years ago. Azolla is believed to have been growing in the warm waters of the arctic ocean (either by having freshwater being fed to the area and floating atop the salt water, or by diluting it enough to allow the Azolla to survive, I believe the Amazon does this where it empties into the Atlantic now) and as the generations would die off, they'd sink and reach depths that were anoxic and effectively prevented the bulk of the material to decay.

One avenue I found that shows promise for doing this via another method, would be making biochar in massive quantities, Pacific Pyrolysis is a company that interests me here https://pacificpyrolysis.com/about.html. Some of this you would sell as fertilizer, tilling it into the soil, which would only lock it up relatively short term. Some of it you would store in depleted mines that you can effectively cap, basically doing reverse-coal mining.

Other options exist but nothing that will scale the way we need it, an operation in Iceland shows us that you can at least have a negative-emissions power plant by injecting CO2 into basalt where it converts to carbonates, becoming rock.

Dr. Klaus Lackner at the Center for Negative Carbon Emissions also has some promising research with a polymer. You basically make this 'plastic tree' which garbs CO2 out of the air, it gets trapped in the polymer and you then 'wash' it out with water and capture it in the washing process, of course you still have to do something with that captured gas. Here you could sell some for industrial applications and take the rest and pump it into depleted natural gas and oil operations and then cap it in a sort of reverse mining-process again.

I am far from an expert but I've spent more than 100 hours looking into options this summer and fall and I do not see a currently available solution, that even after several generations of refinement, are workable.

I think we need to get lucky and figure out fusion, and fast, I also think we need a group like Oklo Inc to get their reactor up (it should operate on waste from current fission reactors) which would scale more rapidly. These only really solve coal and natural gas though, there's over a billion passenger vehicles on the planet right now that mostly use petroleum.

I know YC is pretty damn optimistic, I believe Altman said something a few weeks ago at the wired event along the lines of 'we will figure out fusion because we have to' but man, I'm considerably more pessimistic. I think the next 10-50 years are going to be interesting and quite tense.
Good to see interest in this space brewing.

I used to use OrientDB but moved away due to stability issues (long ago now so hopefully they have that sorted). I also just noticed they’ve been acquired by SAP!

For me graph layouts are conceptually superior vs relational when explaining to non techie users.

Practically however I now stick to Postgres - it’s ‘good enough’ (for what I’m doing) and has a heap of benefits in and of itself.

I looked st Agensgraph but I couldn’t get enough info on it, plus it is a custom version of Postgres (not a plug-in) and i think they recently switched to AGPL which makes it overall less exciting to investigate.

I know there are places where having a real graph db helps but I’ve not personally hit those scenarios yet.

As a new professor it seems I am supposed to act more like a manager and do less of the research/coding/data analysis myself. But I love to code! My goal is to keep a small project for myself that I work on when I don't have impending deadlines (basically never?).
The only positive would be the trillions of dollars that would be dedicated to brain tumour research.
> Work on Bug Fixes / Small Features

With this, I disagree for 2 reasons:

1) If your devs had to prove themselves technically via hiring process and you didn't, then your technical chops are potentially not up to scratch and devs have to tolerate inferior noise. Ditto with architecture input.

2) The easiest fix isn't always correct. Not having day to day knowledge of the code base means you're more likely to implement something substandard.
What's a blunt fork? It would be incredibly easy to kill someone with any ordinary metal fork.

Like Youtube, Instagram, or WhatsApp perhaps?

Jokes aside, I don't see how an internet giant who is flush with cash and data in 2018 would fail to see the next biggest thing and acquire it before it grew large enough to knock them off their pedestals.
Even the wikipedia article says there's no citation given to backup the claims (see first paragraph).

So according to wikipedia, men may have higher ability or be better negotiators? I don't see a gender pay gap here.

I find it helps a lot when you're telling someone they're wrong first tell them how they're right.

Typically there's some agreement with a difference of either an underlying core axiom or some other tradeoff that the two people are weighing differently.

Pointing out the pieces you agree on helps the other person relax a little and open up when thinking about their position.

In my experience they heat the outside but the center warms by conduction.

If I heat a bowl of tomato sauce it can be boiling at the edges and cold in the middle. I have to stop and stir it a few times.

Show HN: The 24 Hour Startup Challenge
I do that manually; you just need to tap on airplane mode and then turn on WiFi. It's annoying that there's no option to automate this.
Yeah, I can see scenarios where these features would be useful, but wonder how many architectures truly benefit from it? I'd guess that a good many people implement JWT b/c it's the accepted approach or in premature anticipation of a future scaled-out architecture that would land it more in one of the beneficial scenarios.

Of course, if the DB concern is one of performance, then there's also a performance trade-off with JWT since the (sometimes large) token is constantly transferred over the wire and compute is used to decrypt it. That may be faster than a DB-round trip, but it's not free. Of course, "old-school" session-management keeps the auth state in memory server-side, which can be the fastest--though comes with a memory hit. But, constantly processing the token in-memory also assigns a memory penalty (even if slightly more transient).

In any case, I think it's like a lot of popular tech that evokes strong reactions on both sides: The success of the tech causes it to be overused, invariably in use-cases for which it isn't as well-suited or was not originally designed.

In this case, the important need for session expiration alone makes me question hard whether JWT is a good fit for session management in a lot of user-facing apps. In some cases it will be, but in others, there are probably better solutions.
That doesn't imply that I 'trust the government'. I mean, trust is not binary. I trust politicians as far as I think that what they do fits their agenda. So I don't have any trust in 'the government' without context.

The reason why I think a law would be the appropriate solution is

- that the companies have no interest in changing anything towards an (e.g., privacy friendlier system) as it would endanger their market position and therefore their profits

- in the current situation, the majority of people has few alternatives, so they can't 'buy their facebook somewhere else'

- for new competitors, it is quite hard to compete even with a single product not to mention a whole set of them

So it doesn't look like the market will find a solution anytime soon. I am not a fan of too much regulation either. Many laws have problems addressing the real issue and take too long until their are changed appropriately, but most laws cause costs anyway (not just financially).
About a month ago, I launched a startup in 24 hours and live streamed the whole thing on Twitch. I hit #1 on Product Hunt and #1 on Show HN.

I wrote more about that at https://starterstory.com/blog/how-i-built-a-startup-on-twitc...

So I wanted to create an organized event to let others try this too. One day, 50 streamers, and a web portal where you can see everyone building.

Say what you want about building a product in 24 hours, but I think it's a great way to:

- Get your idea out there & drop your ego

- Just build something & have fun!

- Exercise your programming and product building skills

- Build your audience.

What do you think of this idea? I'm pretty excited to see what comes out of a remote hackathon is also streamed on Twitch...
I think OP's phrase structure was likely:

That's thermal conductivity, not penetration.

About the only thing that can be reasonably uniformly heated in a microwave at continuous full power is a water-based liquid and that only because of convection.

Put a slab of meat in for a minute at 100% power and it'll be still cold in the center.
You are right with Jekyll, but quite on the wrong street with GitHub pages. It takes time to get your changes up and running, I would say that'd be around ~15 minutes, and I believe that depends on worker's availability on the GitHub server to "compile" or "render" your Jekyll blog.

My experience currently is with Hugo. I have a DigitalOcean (DO) VPS that I use to host my Hugo blog.

The workflow is as follows:

1. Commit and push from local to my VPS.

2. My VPS receives the commit, a git hook runs server-side build for my Hugo blog. The script is pretty short.

3. Server finishes build process, new changes are reflected.

Feel free to experiment with that others are suggesting here, e.g. Netlify. Jsyk, I pay $5/month for my DO VPS and that is $0.50 cheaper than my everyday coffee.
But we've drastically reduced the amount of central state, the complexity of managing it, the time it takes to access it, the danger of losing it, the performance impact of updates to it, while making the happy path to your site faster.

Revolutionary, maybe not, a solid improvement on the traditional design of sessions, I think so.
Very few American doctors are unionized. If you're referring to the AMA, it is specifically not a union.
> So it can penetrate at least a few wet inches of tissue.

As anyone who's used a microwave a few times in their life will tell you, microwaves, at best, manage to super-heat a fraction of an inch of food.

And that's from blasting >1,000 watts of radiation at it.
Microwave ovens output something like 700-1000W in a shielded chamber continuously over the course of a minute or longer.

Even then they’re generally only heating the outer layers, which in turn heat the inner layers through thermal conduction.
Thanks, bro!
I'd say for total transparency, you need to go even further back and calculate the energy and materials cost for making the solar panel. Plants reproduce themselves, and solar panels do not.

Any cover which would reduce the amount of radiation would probably also interfere with the signal strength, which in-turn would also affect the battery life of the phone
OT: a friend & former coworker and I have a pact that's been running for a long time: whenever you hear the word "synergy" you are required to make a hand gesture sliding your index finger on one hand into a ring formed by the other hand.

It's crass and juvenile and totally inappropriate but after more than ten years it's also second nature and still represents the gist of what the synergizer's plans are likely to accomplish.
Again, the energy falls off with the square of the distance, so unless those hundreds of people have very long arms and decide to press their phone against you...
> This means that you cannot, for example, invalidate the session of an attacker after detecting a compromise. You also cannot invalidate old sessions when a user changes their password.

Sure you can. Just have a 'date_password_last_changed' field on your user model, and compare that with the issued_at date on the jwt. Since your user model presumably gets retrieved for each authenticated request anyway, there are zero extra database lookups. Similarly, if there is a global compromise then just rotate the secret key use used to signed the JWT.
Repeated lie detector tests do work for most people. It's silly to think that your average joe is trained to control his/her biological responses to that extent. 1 lie detector test never works, a lot of them do.

I'd rather bet my life savings that at least some such companies are going to reject both these options (SSPL or commercial licence) and just keep using the last MongoDB version that was released under GPL, possibly maintaining a fork of that version just as MariaDB has done.
