I really don't think high amounts of salt is a big deal, unless you almost never eat foods with potassium, too. But even then high levels of salt is probably a bigger issue for people who already have border-line high blood pressure due to atherosclerosis, and then eating a lot of salt pushes them over the limit. It's also much easier for doctors to say "eat less salt" than to say "eat more potassium-rich foods", even if they know that the two need to be in balanced.

When doing a 5-day fasting recently I purposefully tried to consume significant amounts of salt because I felt like I was lacking in electrolytes. I could barely maintain my blood pressure around 10.5/6. Normally, it's around 11.5-12/7.

This is a nice video discussing some studies that show that high levels of salt is significantly better if it comes with high levels of potassium compared to low levels of salt but even lower levels of potassium (by ratio):

SketchBlock 3.1 – Digital Sketching for the Amiga
As a manager of a dev group, I've migrated away from trying to hire "10x developers" and now optimize for "intelligent and persistent".

The "10x" developers are seductive, and can supercharge a project into getting version 1.0 off the ground in months instead of years. However, each one we've hired has left us worse off than before once they got bored and left us in the weeds trying to piece together what they had done.

Most of them suffer from "shiny ball" syndrome and are constantly dismayed by the complexities of the real world. The real world is a grind, filled with edge-cases, filled with needing to make 1-off exceptions, etc. These types of developers tend to hate that, and prefer the abstract beauty of their elegant and simple solutions....and when the real world crashes into their elegant creations, they get 'burned out' and jump ship.

I'm not blaming them, its just an observation. These 10x developers can be a godsend to a brand new startup, but past a 1.0 product, they can subtly turn into a liability fairly quickly.

Hi HN! :)

It's been a fun ride since our launch here on HN last August. It was just me working solo after leaving my full-time job last March and now we're a 4 people team working together to grow Standups. HN was fundamental to be here still running Standups as it helped spread what we do :) We're happy have great companies & distributed teams from all over the world as customers. Teams love to be able to see and update each other no matter whey they are around the globe.

After a lot of hard work these last months we're thrilled to finally roll out our mobile apps that had been requested by so many of you since our launch in August.

Our clients were testing our apps for some weeks already and they're loving to be able to post and share updates from their phones. We're excited to see how you'll be using them on your teams.

I prepared a discount for you guys to thank you for your support. Get a 30% discount for 1 year both for the monthly and yearly pay cycles :) Apply the HACKER-NEWS-30 code under the Billing section.

Note: due to App Store restrictions, you need an existing account to login from the apps. Register at https://standups.io/register and setup your first team in case you haven't yet. If you're reading this from mobile web, you can register on Standups and then continue the setup from your computer. After creating an account, you can login from mobile and start posting and sharing updates with your team on the go!

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have and I'll respond to them throughout the day :)

Most phones nowadays support NFC so this shouldn't be an issue. Just use your NFC key to log into the phone. Alternatively you can also use a Bluetooth U2F key instead of a NFC key. Both of those keys have a regular USB port in addition to NFC/Bluetooth so you can set them up on your laptop and then use them with your phone.
"emergent features"

Yes, exactly.

Bigger picture: one problem with moving to give algorithms more control is that you can't always anticipate the behavior of algorithms. Especially when the algorithm is being targeted by an attacker. You need to predict not just best-case or average-case behavior, you need to know all the possible worst-case behaviors.

There's a direct analogy to computer security, where we have no answers to how to make systems hack-proof. Systems and algorithms are hard and we don't have a solution to prevent exploitation.

Humans are much harder to exploit. If Russia tries to get Ukrainians banned from an event by appealing to humans, that's much more attacker-resistent than when Russia gets Ukrainians banned from Facebook by exploiting an algorithm.
Drop Acquires YC-Backed Canopy  Labs (YC S12)
I concur. The tedium of maintaining somebody else’s crap code in an obsolete language is an invaluable learning experience for new devs. Also, it’s hilarious to listen to the whining.
Totally. When you're new to the profession it's like you have this huge shiny new hammer and everything looks like a nail, so you want to build new custom software to solve every problem, because it's fun.

But I feel like after working on enough legacy systems you come to appreciate how crippling technical debt and over-complexity can become to an organization. What was an exciting and fun project for the creators is now the daily hell for a whole department of people.

The downside is I feel like the maturation of software as a whole is at a point now where it's diminished my ability and desire to pursue entrepreneurial ideas. There's so many powerful existing systems that can be glued together that the hassle of making something from scratch rarely seems worth it when you can get something "good enough" without custom code. On the one hand that's great for business efficiency and non-tech companies but kind of shitty for us developers who love to build stuff from scratch.
Check out https://codereview.stackexchange.com/ or the code review subreddits. If you follow their posting guidelines you're likely to get feedback on how to improve your (working) code.

I recommend you start with the free options above, but if you need more in-depth feedback we offer paid code review at https://www.pullrequest.com. It's code review as a service for every popular language that can help you improve your code quality.

Its beneficial for people in leadership roles to have some experience in the grounded disciplines; But it is not mandatory.

Historically, there have been many kings and emperors who were not professional soldiers or strategists. Yet many of the states they headed were successful in warfare. Many of the kings or emperors were great soldiers, but not good governors; yet still the kingdoms were governed. A leader has one job, to lead. It includes taking advice from specialists and make a decision.

In representative democracy, the true job of a representative is to convey the decision making to the people they represent. This includes heeding to the advice of specialists who have been assigned to help the "people", through that representative. A representative in that case is just a messenger. A messenger does not need to understand the contents of the message.

The representative is from among the general populace and the general populace in plural is hardly specialist.

Edit(1): I understand that this situation is unforgivable. A minister of Cyber-Security must at least be used to the "Cyber" part. I actually commented because in Representative systems which I am used to, the specialty of Minister does not matter much. The minister is a part of the cabinet, which is just simple power sharing for rubber stamping the decision making process. The minister generally comes from the parliament. Its function is to legitimize a bureaucrat's decision, which the rep always does. It does not hamper the actual cyber security program (It also does not improve it at an accelerated rate, this just proves that cyber security is not a relative major priority for the current Japanese government, but that's beyond the point), which is run by specialized bureaucrats (most probably). Friendly Americans, the Minister does not hold much power, but just legitimatizes "people's agreement" to the actual officer in charge.

Edit(2): Please forgive my English! I am not a native speaker.

> But he'd have no idea if what they're telling him makes any sense, and often his intuition about what he's hearing would be wrong, because he'd be using analogies that don't/can't fit.

That all depends on how much trust and responsibility he puts into the hands of his subordinates.

In a way, it's like dividing a role into several people. He handles the government-side, the domain experts handle their sides. A micro-manager, of course, would be a disaster in such a position but it can work with the right people and organizational structures.

Wow. What is the average salary for an Oracle developer doing this sort of work?
It's abundantly clear that I'm not making a precise computation here. My argument is that tests don't scale linearly with the number of features because interactions between features need to be tested as well.
>> train people more. You hire them at lower qualifications, and educate them in house..

> ... they learn and then leave, because if you were able to pay them the market rate you would've not been training them in the first place (considering the context of your comment).

As an employer, you're going to have to pay market rate for the skills you need, one way or another.

If you do that and your employees still want to quit after their training, then your organization has more dysfunctions that you need to fix.

Ask HN: Risks (and benefits) of publishing my Facebook password
Facebook is understood to be fairly toxic, for various reasons. Rather than simply deleting my account, I would rather actually starve them of the datapoint that "this account was deleted on dd/mm/yy", and would prefer to simply voluntarily sabotage it. Before doing so, however, I'm curious as to the legal and other risks that might be incurred. Is doing so legal? I don't use Facebook as an authentication provider, so that is not a risk. There may be other technical reasons not to, however, that I haven't considered yet.
Or a compile server / incremental compilation. Tom Tromey worked on supporting this in GCC years ago, and blogged about the roadblocks that he met on the way. I don't remember the details, but eventually the project was abandoned.

It might still be interesting to read through this stuff--throw "tromey gcc compile server" at a search engine and see what comes up.
They're just more clever about it
It was sarcastic. It’s one of the excuses my family gives for not deleting their FB.
Last time I checked (more than a year ago) most of the websites didn't care about the counter value.

(If you use a Ledger device for U2F and subsequently restore a new (or a reset) device from your private seed the counter will be reset. Trezor has the same issue but allows you to manually set the counter to work around it.)

the failure is mixing news and photos. people subscribed to each other to see their status/away message and vacation/baby photos. then sharing/reposting "news" to your timeline became easier. its easier to press share than it is to create content. by virtue of "the time it takes to propogate something vs make something" sharing became the default, and by volume, most common behavior on facebook.

I use facebook to follow news sources, like an ai driven feed reader, and I use messenger to stay connected to people. I dont stay connected to people by watching what they post to their timeline.

In my post you replied to, I said it WAS a product failure, that they moved the goal post of what a like/wall/share was. If they had built NEW features instead of adapting old ones, this situation would be different. Instead they reappropriated the wall as the "share this article" space, and the like as the follow. Facebook f'd up by overlaying a twitter clone onto their existing product, instead of building it as an additional component/page/module/feed.
I hate to say this, but I've been finding Nicotine to be very useful for dealing with anxiety, restlessness, and boredom with rote tasks.

I've had some issues with depression and anxiety that I've been managing with my doctor, but there are still times where extreme stress can cut through the drugs and still give me some issues (work has been very political lately).

I started craving a cigarette, which is weird because I was only ever a cigar smoker, very infrequently at that, and gave it up (very easily, given I usually went months between cigars) years ago.

So under the guise of "if you're craving potato chips, maybe you're low on sodium", I bought a small, very low dosage, disposable e-cigarette at a convenience store. And the last two weeks have been some of my most stable, calm, consistently productive weeks in a very long time.

Now, I know Nicotine is very addictive, and I have no plans to go back to smoking. I'm planning to switch to a nicotine patch, as the vapor is irritating to my throat and there is still some concern of increased lung cancer risk. I think a patch will be easier to meter out the dosage, too, rather than puffing on a pen every time I feel like it. Sum total, I think I'm receiving a net benefit right now (it has also calmed my snack cravings and my blood pressure is now at a 5-year low).

Anyway, it's dangerous to self-medicate, but most people do anyway, whether it's with alcohol or bad relationships or the internet, and it's not my job to tell you what you can or cannot do. Just trying to relay that there might be some decision tradeoffs that might leave you with a net benefit.
Check and check. Coffee definitely help me with grinding through boring mental tasks.

SD-card corruption is a real problem on RPi (see OpenHAB forums). Supposedly the SD-card driver is not the greatest which together with the system's design makes writes fail silently. This cost is half a day once, since we did not understand what was going on with a config not being persisted over reboots.

Mounting root read only and only writing explicitly through the "ro/re" scripts helps a lot and should be the default IMO.

The biggest issue some people have with RPis though, is their hackish software, e.g. the kernel. This has become better apparently, but it always was a shame that you couldn't just run a generic kernel/distro.

I had good experiences with the BeagleBoneBlack, they come with eMMC and quite a few smart additions (e.g. a power button). Twice as expensive though.
Ya, I believe so.

But a Scrum master can do scrums without knowing anything detailed about the project.

I was for a project ( some backend server stuff ) in a company. The scrum master was a former gardner who did a scrum course. He was good, could solve a lot of issues and keep us on track. But he had no idea of the technologies and IT in general.
How about the fed not make it incrementally hard for companies to do that as a matter of policy (in order to.boost employment)?

> As long as he has the right people below him and is able to listen to them and exercise judgment, that's what really counts.

So he's a puppet then? Different people just pull on different strings and he makes a call arbitrarily?

While nobody expects the minister in charge of e.g. nuclear power to be a nuclear engineer, we do expect them to understand how the plants basically operate, and common failure conditions.

In this case we have someone expected to make calls about computer security who not only lacks expertise in that area, but even in the broader area of computing. The issue isn't that they aren't a subject matter expert, the issue is that they lack such core foundation that they cannot listen to different subject matter experts and contextualize that information.

I'm all for less technical managers as a concept but there are degrees. If the manager cannot even understand the context, that's a legitimate problem.
Yes! A hundred times yes! Don’t let the fact that it’s common hide the fact that it’s absurd to have people with no relevant experience run departments (of governments and businesses).
