Oddly, I would sum up both of those as bikeshedding problems. I agree it is a team issue.

I know the world is sick of gardening metaphors, but I do feel like there are lessons from community gardens. (Really any community thing.) You will usually have an owner that will paint broad strokes of what the rules are. Then, a bunch of spots that contributors are touching regularly. In their contributions, the rules are much more free form. But, you don't typically have people moving rapidly between contribution zones.

Which gets me to my favorite take on the answer. Solving the customer problem is not necessarily the same as solving any developer problem. If you are lucky, you can align them. However, as a developer brutal honest with self in "did this change actually provide any value to the customer" has to be constantly asked.
At Google, things got so bad in some Mountain View buildings, where few were contractors anyway, that they started adding fancy bathroom campers in the parking lots.

I always wanted to find out if there was any relationship to the signs that warned people not to urinate in the showers...
It is not. Advocating online gives you the warm and fuzzy feeling that you did something right, without actually doing anything.
That only tells you whether minimum wage people can afford things. What does it matter to me if some folk have to work for a week for a premium steak?

Why would a football player care that he earns in a day yearly wage?

People buy things based on whether they themselves can afford it, not others. It's nice to appreciate your wealth compared to others but i doubt if anyone makes purchase decisions based on other people salary.
Exactly! $5 Zero, $10 Zero W, still an excellent deal compared to alternatives. An ESP dev board or a Feather costs more, and those don’t run Linux.

People who complain about the cost making their projects difficult should speak up about the alternatives they’re jumping to instead.
It's a pity all we have is a video.

Yeah, I tend to use Lua exactly for this reason: to escape the dependency hell of JS and Node and so on.

Having fewer 3rd-party libraries to use in formulating an addiction to dependencies is often a positive thing.
For fiction books (and some nonfiction) there is good "rotten tomato for books" https://bookmarks.reviews/

> The apps are tools, it's up to the humans to do or not do stuff.

"Guns don't mass murder people, humans do"

In the real world, if I saw a child go on dates with a grown adult, I'd alert the police and have the man arrested, then I'd do my damndest to have the restaurant shut down for facilitating the grooming of minors.

And most importantly, _in the real world_, we all have visibility of this and society as a whole acts in disgust and would (legal or otherwise) punish the offenders and people who facilitated and accommodated this.

> There could be a set of rules that the apps should make users agree with

A pinky promise maybe...
just to add to this. There's a similar solution for iOS called Spike, its not in the appstore though https://spike-app.com/

Also check out https://openaps.org/ - its a community developed closed loop solution. Very cool.
I just don't buy it. If that were true you'd see a nice wedge shaped skyline pointing towards the airport. That's not what San Jose's skyline looks like. Not only that, but the vast majority of San Jose's economy comes from low-rise buildings that are not even remotely close to being limited by even the generous, previous-generation flight paths of today.
> I think for me it is the other way around actually: I believe I'm worse than the average programmer at keeping complex states in my head

If you think you are actually good at keeping complex states in your head (not just better than the average human/programmer) and therefore don't need high-quality code/tools, you are setting yourself up to be destroyed by your own hubris. There are no humans who are good enough at keeping complex states in their head to actually understand the gigantic programs that we work on these days. Back when a few hundred kb of memory was a lot, some people might have managed it, but not anymore.
That's true, and possibly the source of the problem.
Tell that to all 50,000 people in my company, and the product owner I'm working for, who are forced to use it by Infrastructure, and 0.0% of our customers.
The Swift for Tensorflow team has added some python interop to Swift. So you’ll be able to, for instance, do an “import numpy” in your Swift code.
this is the title of the article "TWITTER CEO SAYS SQUARE’S CASH APP INTEGRATING LIGHTNING NETWORK IS A MATTER OF TIME"

(the caps was just how it copy and pasted from the original article. they are not for emphasis)

Not sure if this is one of those news sites that A/B tests different titles but it is a little different than the HN title.

It is still a mouthful though. :)
but I don't know what cash app Twitter makes so the title makes zero sense to me.
Python relatively recently added typing[0]

Python always had "types" of course. What Python 3 added was type hints (an approximation of static typing, if you will).
After Geneva made their system available as free software (AGPLv3), I can't help but feel a tiny bit disappointed about the restrictive terms for the release of the source code.
Thanks for the info! Unfortunately the tech community where I am has shrunk to almost nothing due to the recession, so I don't think there would be enough people joining :(
Maybe they are bag holders.

I am still long term somewhat bullish on the tech but I can't see any of the current generation working beyond niche use. Its not just efficiency but also economics. They are significantly more deflationary than gold, meaning there is never any incentive to do anything but speculate on them. If they gain any utility they will "moon" again and the resulting price instability will once again drive off everyone except speculators.
> I think it's better to advocate for improvement without practicing it than it is to not practice it and not advocate.

Isn't that the definition of hypocrisy?
They not only have to be onboard and be supportive, but they need to understand what it takes, the risks that are going to come up, the fine line that needs to be walked to balance your success, your mental health and your relationship. They need to really understand that and be capable of rolling with it.

Entrepreneurship takes a heavy toll on relationships, and I think honestly, her lack of ability to cope with the stress had a heavy influence on my ability to cope with the stress. If it had been just me with my own thoughts, my resolve and resilience would've been far stronger. Having to balance the needs of your partner makes tough and potentially risky choices ten times harder.
Thread on Chinese Currency Manipulation
These aren't consumer refrigerators, these are industrial refrigerators, most likely exposed to the internet intentionally for remote monitoring purposes by sysadmins who should know better.
I don't know much about VC, but it seems like this can't possibly be true. Aren't there times when a VC invests, and then declines a followup round because they still like the company but don't want any more exposure to their industry or country? And if a company is doing a follow up round valued at $X, any estimated valuation between $0 and $X-1 should be low enough that the VC doesn't invest in that round. There's no reason to assume it's always $0.
“Dropbox is just rsync on a cron job” and “OP’s project is not completely novel” are unfortunately common tropes on HN...

Like you said. Starting with “Great job launching. What are the benefits of using Dropbox over, say just rsync + cron?” would go a long way towards improving the environment around here.
Emphasis on the Northern Hemisphere is not arbitrary. 90% of humans live there.
> Statically checked code is easier to implement correctly, easier to modify, and easier to maintain.

If that were true literally no one would program in python. Static checking is not the end all to uptime and stability. I wrote an elixir program in three days that served as a testbench for a senior's go program (which took him six months to write). This senior believes in static typechecking for everything and doesn't write unit tests. The testbench handles thousands of parallel async requests without a hiccup and even survives operating system resource exhaustion, where the go program falls over and panics.

Erlang is not statically checked (there is a static typechecker, but it's not fully typed). I promise you a well written erlang program has much higher stability than a well written go program. There is a reason why kubernetes exists, after all.
Depends. If you have a SEP-IRA, half of that is pre-tax. If you've optimized your location away from California/New York on a normal tech billing regime (2x salary, maybe 3/4 the billable hours), you're almost there on tax savings alone; let alone housing expenses.
It’s hard to compare apples to apples here: there is, for instance, a 5-bedroom apt in North TA for 4850k and a slightly bigger on on RSh is 4500k, 7% difference. Other pairs with higher percentage difference can be found, but it’s hard to extract the median or average.

But even if your estimate is correct and the difference in prices is “categorical”, the author of the piece could simply have had in mind the streets with private houses, which mostly cost north of 1.5-2 million USD. This is rather plush, I guess.
You're right, when someone who isn't Jewish says "the Jews" it sounds weird and is followed by "control the banks" often enough that it sets me on edge.
Server side rendering mounts your application in the server and sends down html along with an initial state.

The client receives this initial state and uses it with the html to glue together a working UI on the client.

This removes the massive JS bloat into raw html and split JS for each component.

Instead of sending 3MB of JS, you send only the JS needed to render the current page... and send additional JS as a user navigates through your website.

Here's an example with Create React App: https://github.com/cereallarceny/cra-ssr
Recalls the Maginot line, in the case of cyber warfare. How man taps are there? Perhaps more sensible for managing the information presented to their own population in emergencies.
In the US, probably not. Cash for clunkers is an example of a government policy that made car ownership less affordable. During the recession, people with the means to purchase a new car received a massive windfall appreciation of their old cars. Those without means to purchase a new car faced a used car market with scarcity and in particular scarcity of the best kind of cheap used car...one previously owned and maintained by a person of means. The car grandma only drove to church on Sunday was crushed for scrap.

History might not repeat itself. But I would be unsurprised by a greening policy for electric vehicles that looked a lot like cash for clunkers. The long run of tax favored policies for electric vehicles don't suggest future policies designed for the means of those without means: there never has been a tax incentive for buying a used electric vehicle or replacing a vehicle with low fuel mileage for a more efficient used vehicle.

Trickle down theories tend to ignore the incentives for those at the top of the hill to capture any value that might flow downstream. Cash for clunkers didn't buy used cars from poor people with a yard full of junkers. Because of the holding period required, they weren't salable on their potential trade-in value to people with the means to buy new cars.

Never mind that part of transportation greening is raising the price of gasoline.
The integral of the characteristic function is zero, but the probability of finding a rational in any interval is one. In Feynman’s argument, it seems he was relying on this latter probability.

So I don’t think you have produced a compelling counterexample yet (though I expect you are right that one exists).
In Canada most software devs don't call ourselves engineers - we legally can't - engineer is a protected title.

And yes, that's what I'm suggesting - there needs to be a formalization of terms for software. I'm not saying exclude the X week course individuals, but in Accounting there are "tiers" of accountant, based upon education, focus, and experience, and that may need to be instituted, allowing people to see at a glance what designation you've achieved, even if that means the bootcamp grad has to write a 50 question test at the end of their X weeks.

Why I quit a $500K job at Amazon to work for myself
Article reads like an April fools'. Cute idea, but 'cow love' is business, each bull has as many statistics as a baseball player.

Did you know that most dairy listings wouldn't even show pictures of the bull? They're far more interested in the the Bull's daughters. (which you can see in both the fancy print catalog, and often the online listings as well)/

Hectare, maker of the app according to the article does have some catalog listings online, (like this one) https://www.sellmylivestock.co.uk/view/product/E0DE3752-5E89...

and some other useful sounding sites/services like sellmylivestock and graindex https://www.hectare.farm/ so perhaps it's the breezy article that makes the app seem so frivolous.
It works in reverse too, where you can dog-whistle any anti-Semitic statements by saying that you were refering to "Israeli government" or "globalists" or "bankers", not Jews.

> working harder/longer/smarter. You trade the marginal hour in a way that has a lagging, probabilistic increase on your salary.

I feel like that has a really poor ROI when you look at from a time spent perspective. The amount of extra hours/effort you have to put in to get a small increase chance of a promotion seems a very bad trade. Obviously I don’t have any data to back that up, but I feel that a lot of people invest a lot of effort for a minuscule chance of improved future income.
I believe, Idein did that. At least they regularly post impressively (for the Pi) fast examples to /r/raspberry_pi like https://redd.it/a5o6ou. It seems the result isn't available individually or as open source but only in the form of a service (https://actcast.io/)
I didn't catch the sarcasm there. Now it makes sense but the parallel he drawn was, in my opinion, still unsuitable.
They greatly overestimated willingness of locals into buying "poor man's Rolce Royce editions"

Being kind of a car guy, I wondered how well it would work for them. Because to this day it stumps me when a luxury car manufacturer makes a budget model. The poster child for that was the Cadillac Cimarron. Take a Chevy Cavalier (one-step-above-the-low-end compact car), stick leather seats and a Cadillac badge on it, sorted. C'mon, Cadillac, people scraping together the money so they can say they own a "Cadillac" are not the people that will be upgrading to an El Dorado later. No, in fact, that they overpaid for a Chevy Cavalier because of a badge means they likely lack the financial sense to ever own a real Cadillac. All you've done is damage your brand, and pissed off Cadillac owners. (Don't get me started on the Jaguar X-type.)

In the same vein, the budget model iPhones made me wonder if you're ever going to pull those customers into what is an relatively expensive ecosystem. HN is a poor indicator, but all I've ever heard here is "I like the SE because size" not "hey, I saved a few bucks".
maybe in some fields. Cyber has dramatic skill and capabilities gaps almost anywhere I visit as a consultant. This seems to have as much to do with HR trying to hire the kitchen sink, as much as inability to recruit and retain talent. The pain is real, the gap maybe 'artificial' but it is there none-the-less.
React Server Side rendering takes care of this... but most people don't know how to do it.

This is almost definitely not about the IRS--or at least it is only to the extent that Walmart might use that as an excuse. It's very likely that Walmart is already treating them as de facto employees with scheduling and management practices. Letting them eat at Thanksgiving isn't likely going to be to be the straw that tips the scales to employee.

IRS: here's a list of things that can be evidence you are using contractors as employees.

Walmart: OK we'll ignore every single one of them except that we won't provide them with health insurance, we won't withhold tax, and we won't let them eat Thanksgiving dinner or go to the movies.

There is a massive problem with employers skirting the law with respect to this, but companies don't care because enforcement isn't consequential enough to make them care.

Fellow JustWatcher here, care to elaborate which quirks exactly you mean? Back when SPAs were still pretty new, we took the bet to make one with a pretty large surface area and despite a lot of issues (SEO especially) so far we're pretty happy with that decision.
Meh, the guy admitted he was careless with money. It's possible his spouse is not as comfortable with living paycheck to paycheck as long as things are fine (because there could be times where it's not fine). We don't know anything about their financial situation, what kind of emergency fund he has built up, or if there is any sort of planning going on for retirement.

Communicating frequently and financially planning together is a key part of a relationship. If this is lacking that does not make the spouse shitty.

The reason I did weekly vs monthly pricing is simply because it breaks down to a "smaller" amount, visually ;) But yeah.. in essence you are just asking for a monthly retainer. Also, with weekly you don't need to worry about collecting as much in case of nonpayment, at most you'll lose a week's worth of pay.
TBH, I never realized just how strange pi pricing was until seeing that web page. 1 for $5, but if you act now, you can get two for the low price of $30! Its really strange and it makes me wonder what the real price in quantity (>500 units) is.

I did a tour of Pixar and they said Steve Jobs wanted to have 1 bathroom in the whole building. That would force everyone to walk past each other and encourage more interaction.

Turns out this wasn't allowed by building codes, but I wouldn't be surprised if somehow this "spirit" made it's way to Apple as well.

Although I've had the same problem in every male dominated tech company office I've worked in. A few years back Amazon had to have people work from home because there weren't enough bathrooms in their office.
What greater 'tax' could you possibly conceive of than a whopping 38% of your development time on an enterprise product being spent debugging problems caused by type inference/coercion? Y

As opposed to 86 percent of all statistics, which are basically made up. (Or presented grossly out of context, which is pretty much just as bad as "made up").

Seriously, it takes a lot more to trigger an assessment of "whopping" significance in my mind than a side-angle photo of some random slide presented with no background context whatsoever.

Surely Node.js is going to be looked back upon as one of the worst mistakes in the history of 21st century programming.

Anecdotical comment: While studying computer science, I almost fail a test because I used global variables. Since then I avoid them like the plage, and I get rashes when I see them.

And I thank my teacher for knocking the bad habit out of me. So when I see global variables beyond the initialization of core objects, I take it as a bad code smell.
> The test is also expected to involve ISPs demonstrating that they can direct data to government-controlled routing points. These will filter traffic so that data sent between Russians reaches its destination, but any destined for foreign computers is discarded.
