GitHub Issues is nice and simple with sufficient tools to assign and categorize issues. Many similar tools are built on top of GitHub Issues and if they work independently they usually do so with an API that is a carbon copy of GitHub Issues’. If you commit to using GitHub then you can always build your own GUI or let people use Trello on top of it if they choose to do so.

I love the card-to-board idea. I don't know why more tools don't have a way to 'drill in'. Workflowy is basically built around the idea.

> Know how your hardware actually works, especially CPU, storage, and network.

I learned about MIPS CPUs in college, 20 years ago, with Patterson and Hennessy, and built one from logic gates. It was basically a high-powered 6502 with 30 extra accumulators, but split across the now-classic pipeline stages.

I understand that modern CPUs are much different than this. I understand that there are deeper pipelines and branch predictors and superscalar execution and register renaming and speculative execution (well, maybe a bit less than last year) and microcode. Also, I imagine they're not built by people laying out individual gates by hand. But since I can only interact with any of these things indirectly, I have no basis for really understanding them.

How does anyone outside Intel learn about microcode?

> Not necessarily, as talents at that level which are valued in top tech may be different than talents at that level that are valued at growing startups.

I worked at both. Talent overlap is quite high, far higher than is commonly assumed.

> There a variety of companies that pay top dollar for talent, straddling early stage startups all the way through established companies.

I worked in startups for many years, and most of my friends still in the field are either founders or C-level execs. They are fully aware of the top compensation for top engineers in startups presently. Startups don't match top tech comp currently. Unless you factor in the options as a sure thing, and the startup ends up exiting at unicorn levels.

> Many people put 0 value on startup equity. Those people decrease their lifetime EV through misconceptions of statistics.

This is a reflection of how many people have spent precious years of their career working for startups, and generally seeing 0 return on these options.

It's also a reflection of the perceived lack of control over this sort of deferred compensation, and various nasty dynamics that often snatch value away from rank-and-file employees, even at the last minute or past it. See the LinkedIn exit and their infamous clawback policy.

Startup options have earned this reputation for 0 value over a decade of overhype and underperformance. Far too many talented people were promised the sky and ended up with nothing after years of hard work.

I've been on it for a month and have been really happy with the service. That said I brought my own devices and haven't had to deal with the support team at all.
It's really capable, but you can feel it getting ready to collapse under its own weight. Same goes for Confluence.
You should try Elixir and Phoenix.

Phoenix is similar enough to Rails that you won't feel totally lost, while using Elixir will teach you about functional programming and actor systems.

> This case looks like it involves master-slave/sub-dom sexual deviancy, which seems aesthetically opposed to prevailing social mores at Google, which place a high moral value on consensuality.

Consent is a critical pillar in the BDSM community, it's the only barrier between abuse and not. Some countries do have restrictions on what you can consent to, but that's a different issue.
This is about partnering with carriers that do bad things. One company that partnered with these carriers said "stop that" (granted not with enough eagerness/transparency for me). Another that partners with carriers remains mum.

> Apple specifically avoids these types of products.

No, Apple specifically partners with the companies selling this stuff and don't care at all. They could easily issue a statement saying they disagree with those they shake hands and share money with, but they won't. Google will though.

> but there is no reason to bring fried chicken into your house

There obviously is. It's frigging' delicious for once (might sound easily dismissed, but pleasant things are worth being experienced) . And eating a portion is obviously not going to lead you to have 460 pounds.

Your dismissal of "fried chicken" is all the more puzzling considering that 100g of the stuff has 246 calories [1] whereas the 100g "grilled chicken" has 226 calories [2]. Sure, it's a bit less calorie dense, contains more protein, so it is a bit better but by no means the astronomic difference you seem to suggest.

The man obviously has problems, but your dismissal, lack of empathy and misplaced sense of superiority are really not called for.

For those of you concerned about heart disease, whether you have risk factors or a family history, consider getting a calcium score. It's the gold standard for detecting heart disease. It's usually not covered by insurance but it's very inexpensive (About $200).

Involves a CAT scan of the chest so it's not a blood test and there are some X-Rays involved. But it's totally worth it.
>That’s why if you want to be informed about the world you shouldn’t watch the news and just read books...

???

This is the thing though, books are media too.

Also published for clickbait-y reasons.

It sounds like everyone's out suggesting methods for people to avoid using their critical thinking skills. There's no way around it, if you consume media, ANY media, you have to consume it with an almost deeply skeptical eye nowadays. It's just the world we live in, everything from music to books, and from video games to news paper articles, is riddled with bias. Using your head in such an environment is unavoidable, assuming you wish to take wise and measured actions based on the state of the world around you. If wisdom is the goal, reading books, or watching Al Jazeera is just no substitute for exercising your brain cells.

The facts misconstrued in the article: older people are more likely to spread news found on a set of 21 conservative web sites identified by BuzzFeed.

A better way to interpret those facts: older people lean conservative.

The research showed that political outlook was a far better way to predict sharing these web sites than age or even party affiliation.
You make a good point. Perhaps, going forward, putting a (reasonable) word in and encouraging others who do the same should part of our civic responsibility, just like voting and paying taxes have been.
Super cool. I always loved that mid-90s 3D look.

I'm familiar with how the GPL applies to regular system/web software, but I haven't had experience with it and game engines before. Since this engine is GPL-licensed it seems like any game built with this engine would then also need to be GPL-licensed, correct?
Hey guys, just a bit of backstory as suggested by a mod:

tl;dr is that with this python script and one of the arduino sketches you can get an out-of-the-box remote sensing network with sqlite storage that is very easy to extend and hack on and has proven stable for over a year now.

The background:

I live in the countryside and wanted to find some ways to help out our neighbouring farmers with my trade. One of the things you see a lot of is remote things failing and going unnoticed -- unclosed barriers, electrified enclosures not strong enough, escaped animals, etc. In addition to this, there are some regular maintenance tasks -- opening/closing the chicken coop door, irrigation, opening/closing a greenhouse -- that are trivial to define programatically and can save a lot of time and trouble if automated.

This is the backbone to a set of other projects currently in the pipeline, but it also includes chicken coop door opener in one of the example nodes. I have some neighbours working on remote sensing for their solar-powered electric fence generator using LoRa. Overall this technology's mix of low-power and long-range transmission makes it an awesome tool for cheap, 'low'-tech countryside hacks.

The reference is to Plato's allegory of the cave. Prisoners are chained so they are facing the back wall of a cave. Puppeteers project a play of shadows onto this wall and the prisoners, knowing no better, take this show for reality, when in fact, reality lies outside the cave. The OP was comparing the shadow-players to the professional cultural generators.

Why are you trying to tell this guy what he should value? He wants to do work that interests and excites him, and he's making the tradeoffs that balance his personal set of values - with, incidentally, far more information than you have about what those values and specific tradeoffs are.

Pursue your own balance of values with passion, and allow others to be meaningfully different from you. Their desires don't diminish yours.

> She's in the spotlight because she's an amazingly accomplished person.

I refuse to believe that you honestly believe that.

54-year-old black women from the South Side of Chicago who go to Princeton occasionally get an interview in a local magazine and enjoy fifteen minutes of something that if you squint might pass for fame. If they fight a high-profile court case, they may get a two-paragraph Wikipedia article without a photo. To go further they need to become federal judges, or achieve a comparably prestigious position.

Women who marry a President of the United States automatically get on the cover of national magazines and have their Wikipedia page protected from non-logged in editors. If they're accomplished and eloquent as well, sure, that's a bonus.

Just think about what could exist if those titles weren't refreshed every year or two. It takes time to build a marginally nicer sequel and all the in all purchases to go along with it, but that doesn't add substantially to the selection of high production quality titles.

I'm sad that gaming seems to be preying on addictions (IAP are definitely addicting) rather than innovating.
FWIW Citymapper offers a similar service in London. Essentially carpooling with more seats. Admittedly though, they don't cover such long distances.
Modern SPAs are more complex than most backends. UIs always were more complex than business logic even in desktop applications.

However the business logic is nearly all inside the backend and it's where the important decisions are made. So backend developers use to be closer to architects or are the architects. You need a more senior person to do that job.

Yes, that has lots of great stuff in the comments.

Yes, you should do that. But, many times you will end up with too much food anyway. When possible, save food, rather than throwing it away, but it's better to waste food than to add to a weight problem.
I think he's just a humble and genuine nice person, an uncomfortable speaker perhaps.

He was a CWRU alum and came to rap with grad students around '89. He was wearing his trademark woven hoodie and jeans. We didn't get a room, he just plonked on the floor in a hallway somewhere and told stories and enjoyed nerding with us.
It doesn't work like that, for two reasons:

1) If the mail you receive actually interests you, you wouldn't classify it as "spamming" ("Did I really sign up for that? Anyway it sounds good"). If not you may avoid them in the future, but you would not have bought their product anyhow.

2) Scale: If a (real) spammer sends out 20 million emails and 0,0001% buy viagra. Thats fine for him. The other Emails cost him close to zero, so every sale it profit.

I like the idea of building a query through command-line "flags".

We built graphqurl[1] which does tab-based autocomplete to hep the user type a complete GraphQL query (using introspection); which can get a little unwieldy to type. Although, it's easier for debugging a "raw" query I love the approach GQL has taken

Excited to try it out. :)

It is not wrong advice. It is not dangerous.

Exercise is essential for health. From a purely scientific numbers perspective, it has little impact on weight loss in the morbidly obese. The vast majority of impact is from food consumption.

Too much Aerobic exercise can be detrimental to weight loss as it encourages metabolic slow down and increases cravings for easy energy. It also has near zero impact on preserving lean body mass. Modest aerobic activity is always healthy, but in the morbidly obese, any more than that is counter productive.

Weight lifting on the other hand does have a major impact on preserving lean body mass during a diet, but it also depends on you eating a lot of protein. Without the protein, you’re also not going to be conserving lean body mass.

Again, what you eat is the most important. You can lose trmeendous fat , water, and muscle mass purely by eating less. It’s going to be fat-loss with with 20-30 minutes of walking 5 days a week, and some modest dumbbells or resistance band work, and a decent amount of lean protein ingestion.
If you find a reliable source of revenue that takes an insignificant amount of non meaningful work to maintain, you can spend the rest of you time on meaningful work.
I think a common problem is that often they become non-creative subjects when taught in school. Standardized tests frame them as a pursuit to find the same steps and answers as the mythical answer key, instead of a pursuit of exploring and building solutions to questions/problems.

Why do you feel that federation-sanctioned tournament & correspondence rules are relevant to this situation? Abandonment in those cases would be deliberate if not because of an emergency.

You’re obviously not going to get punished if the “abandonment” is revealed to have been because you get accidentally locked out of the tournament hall through no fault of your own, which is the right comparison for something like online chess disconnection.

I don’t see a reason to feel that your comment is applicable.

"Secure enough" and "ethical enough". Plenty of organisations know stuff about me that I'd prefer not to be public or sold to the highest bidder. They might leak it to the government or one day be the target of a megahack - but I file that under either "meh" or under "acceptable risk".

It would look like: My manager emails me something to do. I respond to that email to update them. I can easily search, tag, star, and export/backup our “tasks”. It loads instantly, and everybody has access to email everywhere they go, on any device. There’s an archive of communication, it supports attachments, multiple languages, and screen readers. It also has the best uptime.

So my ideal issue tracker is email. I haven’t used anything better.

I've been thinking about this as well — especially in regards to the excessive amount of grim, cynical, and depressing content across many modern streaming services as well as general media. I'm not sure if I've lost my taste for it or if there's a trend here. Either way I've seen it as a prevalent theme of storytelling currently. I wonder if storytellers are molding to fit their audience or the other way around...
