+1. Due to the small size of our company, my role still is somewhere between lead engineer and a pure managing position, but it‘s enough of the management schedule that I can no longer be a reliable partner for working on the core product. So I try to automate/optimize internal workflows with my coding skills, i.e., I build tools that improve things if they exist but do not break or block things if they‘re delayed due to too many meetings creeping in.
As the article says, it’s almost always useless.

Even if it weren’t, at least some amount of thinking should be involved in requesting it, and e.g. don’t do it on feature requests or API defect problems. But they do, oh they do.

It should also be noted that it doesn’t save time: it off-loads some time wastage to an external developer who is filling the bug. And who has to pointlessly collect it (it takes several minutes and knocks your system off), then upload 200-400MB file to a notoriously crappy form that it will time out or error out, or sometimes say the upload was successful only to get a bitchy QA reply a week later to upload sysdiagnose.

A few years back, I had a sysdiagnose so huge that Radar just wouldn’t take it. I spent an hour trying to upload the damn thing and eventually uploaded it elsewhere and posted an URL.

To this day, that sysdiagnose file was not downloaded a single time.
How does a company prevent it? Don't promote bullies to management. If it's true that it hurts performance, then it's irrational even from a self-interested business perspective, and you are just shooting yourself in the foot.
Sigh. I suppose another batch of engineers will read this and start participating in rounds of bullshit instead of just doing what is clearly the right thing to do. If there are options, present options. If you know only one good way to do it, just say so.
Anecdote:

When I was 7 or 6 or something, I remember my granddad, who was in the Wehrmacht back then, very often explained to me how they fought during the war.

One of the things which stuck with me was how many more people the Russians had in comparison with the Germans. He once drew on paper to explain how they did something like cross fire where they would just fire with the machine guns so the lines of fire would cross and from down the hill Russians would run up the hill, die on the way up and new Russians would come up the hill without weapons and would take the weapons of the dead Russians and keep on running until they died, then another ones would take their weapons and so on.

I remember him saying it was 2000 Russian soldiers on one German soldier, but I guess that number got mangled through war propaganda, war reality, fear, and rumors on the front.
Most people don't distinguish between Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Intelligence.

Grading fill in the blank arithmetic exercises seems like a perfect piece of Augmented Intelligence. No gibberish problems until you get to "show your work", and even there, there are options if the business model is there. If the program is able to mark answers as "illegible", the grader can review before confirming. Make take-home grading something that can be done before the children go home for the day.

It is truly a shame that you are being downvoted, presumably by Americans too terrified of their own shame for participating in the acts you've described.

But the truth survives downvotes. HN is probably not (yet) the right audience for these kinds of truth - but no matter the discouragement, please continue to seek the truth about Americas involvement in these heinous, disgusting human rights abuses. Yemen is a disaster of American making and is reason enough, alone, to dissuade any assumption of moral authority by those who consider the USA the worlds mightiest cop, when it should be recognised, nearly exclusively, as a criminal thug pandering to other criminal thug states.

In spite of the downvotes, know and recognise that there are people in the HN scene who do not stand idly by, ignorant of what is being done in the name of Americans around the world. The support of the Saudi Arabian terrorist regime by the USA will not long stand unacknowledged!
Yes, “451: Unavailable due to legal reasons” and then some details about the GDPR (but not saying why).

My guess is a local news outlet that’s big enough to know about the legal requirements but doesn’t actually see any value in doing the compliance work.
Yes, I also gave up more or less. I recently had a problem with AppKit, created a small example to reproduce, and used one of my Developer Incidents. I got an acknowledgement from them, was asked to open a radar, and provide the ticket number back. I did that but from that point on on there was silence. It may be possible that it will be fixed for 10.15, but the experience from my point of view is lousy.
This entire issue is a product of US health care costs. No one would give a shit about the classification of workers, if it weren’t for the fact that health care is insanely expensive and brutal to manage without insurance.

The US needs to address this issue, and now. However, as someone currently working in the field, I’m starting to think that the size of the country, and the sclerotic, poorly incentivized bureaucracy that controls health, will make it impossible to address until there’s a true crisis.

The parent never said that the development and successful use of the tanks made the human losses okay, only that the Soviet victory wasn't solely due to overwhelming numbers.

I dunno, I did a fair bit of partying in Silicon Valley and I think the the fact that, however ill-advised and harmful, this didn't exterminate millions of people tends to detract from whatever 'this' is supposed to be quite a bit.

Again, the parent only explained that partying and hard work aren't mutually exclusive, not that this somehow makes Stalin's actions okay.

It's bizarre to see so many (allegedly former 'liberals' or 'lefties', itself a conflation) talking of / agreeing with a "firehose of hatred" supposedly coming from the left. What do these people think of the language and ideas coming from the right?

My suspicion is that they consider the right these days the calm voice of reason – not in spite of the racism, the misogyny, homophobia, or hatred of the poor, but because of these things, because maybe their sympathies simply lie with maintaining the comfortable order that they are used to, not with any of the ideals that they actually claim/ed to uphold.

I was raised by my grandmother with a brood of cousins and all her children lived under the same roof. I did not know that nuclear families were the norm and that not every family was as large as ours until I was well into my teens. I think that being raised the way I was had a very positive impact on me. It wasn’t just having so many adults around but also having cousins who were sibling like and of various ages as peers to learn from and also to teach... Plus there was the ‘grandmother effect’.

I had always considered myself as a rather staid somewhat conservative person with orthodox views of my own volition. Until I realized that ‘feminists’ considered my views as fringe. That’s the ‘grandmother effect’..a matriarchal upbringing is entirely different from a feminist upbringing. The former is about freedom/owning power and the latter is about competition/struggle(in my understanding)

Every family needs a support system. And every human person does NOT have to be a parent. Parenting is a big scary and A Very Important Job.

I am reminded of Robert Wright’s Moral Animal where he beckons altruism and the chapter on kinship. That’s the ‘grandmother effect’.

It’s a topic worthy of a proper thesis.
What's this 3 year rule that I have also missed then?
MQTT is just a protocol, not a service. I don't think it was the developer's intention to provide an alternative to MQTT, but to offer a solution for push-notifications, which just happens to be built on top of WebSocket without MQTT. Also keep in mind that MQTT will usually get wrapped by WebSocket to avoid issues with firewalls or to easily get TLS via a proxy server like NGINX, or simply to add web browser support. VerneMQ is not the only server implementation for MQTT.
No offense meant, but if you are going to dispute a book written by one of the internationally recognized experts of the subject who has access to far more archive material that you or I will ever have, something more substantial that “surely [insert opinion here]” would be most welcome.

If story points are fictional then that's not the fault of the process, it's the fault of the person who made the estimation.

If you've been working as a developer for any length of time, you should know roughly how long a particular task is going to take you.

What you are saying is just senseless. The USSR had less population than the Axis, especially when 30% of it was under occupation.

You're just spouting bullshit written by the Germans after the war to justify their defeat.
Eh, it's really actually pretty hard to calculate GDPs. Many countries can't get within 1% due to reasons, so 1.6% per year isn't that big of a difference. China also has interesting accounting systems that actually might under-count the GDP, for example the GDP calculations mostly ignore the GDP of small firms.

> Companies with annual revenue below 360k RMB (roughly 53k USD) are exempt from VAT tax and all subsequent taxes. China has more than 65 million (2017 estimate) such micro companies, often single person, or single family (two people). If you multiply the two numbers together, it is up to 3.4 trillion USD per year. Just assuming only 1/4 to 1/2 is achieved, that is a 0.85 to 1.70 trillion USD economy, roughly 7% to 14% of overall Chinese GDP will have to be estimated, and can be potentially massively under reporting.

source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Economics/comments/aycs6x/chinas_20... - I will probably look this up in the future but can't verify this comment right now.

Here's a paper from the National Bureau of Economics Research that suggests that Chinese GDP might be understated: https://www.nber.org/papers/w23323 - this paper analyzes Chinese GDP by looking at its nighttime light usage. In this vein, I've heard that government actually tries to be conservative with the numbers so as to avoid the overstatement claims, but I have 0 sources on this.

For the Brookings paper linked in the post, one big issue with it is that it didn't account for a tax-related change that happened in 2008-09. See this reddit comment for details: https://www.reddit.com/r/Economics/comments/aycs6x/chinas_20... - this means that the overstatement is still there, but probably smaller. The author of that reddit comment emailed the authors but hasn't heard back.

It does seem like everyone will take the "OMG CHINA FAKES EVERYTHING" at face value as it confirms their biases. I don't want to speak on either side of it, growing up in China we/my parents/friends all make fun of the GDP numbers and call them chicken butt (鸡的屁 sounds like GDP). Maybe the core of the issue is that no one really has transparency so it's really hard to tell for sure, so no one, domestic or foreign, trusts the numbers given by the government. If so, maybe the objective ways of doing analysis, like satellite footage on night time lights, is the way to go (not to say the article I linked is thus 100% the truth). Anyone have other ideas on what indicators, like nighttime lights, can be used here?
We worked at the same company, can confirm. Every problem mentioned above is true.

I once wrote a sub at this gig that returned a list (because hashes are lists) containing a string built by sprintf, which contained a sub dereference wrapping a sub that returned a string built by sprintf. Though it was necessary at the time I'm still just really, genuinely sorry about that. I guess the takeaway is that perl reverts even the most civilized devs to utter savagery.

>> Perl at any sort of scale is worse than the quoted "write-only" slogan: it's "write-once, re-learn from scratch on read". For a junior dev, rewriting would be a blessing.

Rewriting is really risky too; global state is problematic in any language that offers it but the almost complete lack of guarantees provided by the language is exhausting and makes it difficult to reason about even the most trivial change. Imagine being dropped into a 5k line function that hasn't been touched in 10 years. There are no tests, few comments, and the author quit 6 years ago. What types can this function return? Is it always called with all of its expected arguments? Where is it called from? None of these questions can be answered trivially. You'd think grep would handle the last, but you'd be wrong because people can and do build identifiers piecemeal as strings and eval.

The casual use of evals and symbol table manipulation in probably any large perl codebase only became more terrifying as I became more comfortable with the language. I cried a little bit when I figured out how the import system is cobbled together, and not exactly for its elegance or simplicity.

On the bright side, building healthcare systems with perl made me a very disciplined and defensive coder. It also got me used to saying things about my code like "reasonably confident" instead of "it works". Software engineering is so much more exciting with assumptions and guesses, who doesn't like to roll the dice every now and then? Now if I could just remember what all the runtime flags do...

That's not a complete solution unless you have infinite storage. You need the ability to store 1 snapshot per month without missing any files, but they may only be contained in one hourly diff.
FWIW, Bug Reporter has not yet required sysdiagnoses for feature requests. And for large sysdiagnoses, you can ask for an alternative method to upload them; at some point I was given credentials for a FTP server I could upload it to.
It would be great if they test the memory hypothesis. Perhaps by trying to catch the line of RNA changes that allow a problem to be remembered from generation to generation?
Another idea that struck me is how all the Soviet top brass were absolute workhorses who squeezed every living hour out of the day, to the point of mental and physical exhaustion.

The explicit idea here is that Soviet success was a function of the exceptionally hard work of leadership.

I really like the idea of Google providing a single, efficient connection for push-notifications, but having it bundled with Firebase (and therefore with Google Play Services) is an unfriendly approach.

I write C for a living but i'm not terribly experienced.

I was wondering is there a reason C and C++ code favours comments over descriptive names? I'm almost certain i'm not making this up, but go into any random file here and look at the names. Structs will have members called p with a comment saying "position". It seems very silly.
X-Fire Capsule
The X-Fire has been in demand for quiet sometime but soon people found it to cause so many side effects especially on cardio vascular system. We have utilized the knowledge of Ayurveda- the ancient Herbal Health Care of India, to develop effective herbal remedies for erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, low sperm count and low energy levels. All our herbal Medicine for erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation are purely natural and do not cause any side effects.

The herbal medicine and natural products for ED are made from herbs growing in nature. Some of the herbs are effective herbal preparations which are described in ancient Indian literature and other classical texts for male sex health. These herbal remedies are time tested as these herbal ingredients were traditionally used since ancient times by people in Indian subcontinent. After a lot of research on this subject, the herbal formulation for erection problem called X-Fire Capsule has been developed.
This is extremely frustrating to me as a macOS developer.

I put a lot of effort into my app. I spend about 50% of my time on triaging / fixing / preventing bugs. We check every crash report that is logged, and we attempt to reproduce every issue reported by customers as quickly as possible.

By now, a significant fraction of bugs are bugs in Apple's frameworks. We try to report them to Apple, but they are ignored, or simply closed because they are related to deprecated APIs.

Of course, customers don't complain that Apple frameworks are buggy -- they complain that our app crashes! So Apple has no incentive to fix it. (If the bug affects Apple apps, it has a higher chance of being fixed. If a framework isn't used a lot by Apple, it will be full of bugs)

So we have dozens of workarounds in our code, and have stopped using some frameworks altogether (if possible).

But I can confirm that Corbin was quick to review bugs -- NSTableView related bugs were the only ones were I got fast feedback.

For what it’s worth..my thoughts on the matter is clusters of 200-250 people who are self sufficient units. And each unit cooperatively lives with their cluster. And maybe 10-12 clusters form a larger ‘village’ and another 10-12 villages form a town.

I like decentralized local governments. It seems more efficient.

> Apart from some modest actions like [Stalin] supporting the Spanish communists in the Spanish Civil War etc, he did not work that hard to advance the Marxist revolution abroad.

Yet I recall that in ‘Homage to Catalonia’, George Orwell says that Stalin undermined the Marxist cause...

Although it could be my bad memory, or Orwell's lack of understanding...

Not that I know anything about Marxism!!!

As someone who has to continually push back against people who have the "one good way to do it", I'd prefer everything was presented as options.

People make these statements in front of customers and then we have to dance around it to the next option. It takes a hint of introspection to know when you might not have all the bases covered in your head before pushing things out of your mouth.

Saying something is an option at least can be interpreted as not being fully sure at this second, whereas saying "we have to do this" and being wrong just makes you look incompetent as a representative of my team.
I'm not going to say we weren't all nuts... but a lot of advanced language features, including metaprogramming, were necessary to build things that other communities take for granted: frameworks, test harnesses, mocking, static analysis, etc.
Ah, dang it, I have to actually read these things now?
How does this solve the build time problem the parent post was lamenting?

I’ve looked a little bit at bazel but haven’t spent long on it. It seems to really, really want you to do things in its specific googly way ( that seems to stem from monorepo style and always knowing the exact build path and never needing to distribute to users) which is hard if e.g. trying to to convert an existing project that doesn’t perfectly fit (us: combined C++/Python with some legacy fortran generation)

Or a project that has external dependencies currently being chain-built but isn’t itself built with bazel (e.g. most the planet) - we don’t all have dedicated build teams to accurately and bug free reproduce other libraries build procedure (also getting away from a buggy reproduced build is part of my system rewrite intention).

I seem to remember the documentation also had the usual problem that the easy examples were well documented but hard to tell how to do anything more complex, but maybe I didn’t dig enough. CMake has a similarish problem except the problem is finding more modern ways of doing things that don’t suck (I’m aware of all the talks about this, many of them are big on ambition but low on details, and usually just teach transient dependencies).
So wikipedia will happily delete things based on notability and such. How is it that this has escaped the cull?

It's not the type of thing I'd expect to find in wikipedia at all.

To be clear, I don't have a problem with technology X being in Wikipedia. Indeed I expect there to be a page, and it would probably be my first port of call for finding out more. My problem is with an editorialised list of 'Emerging Technologies'.
