Anyone familiar with PlantUML[1]? That's been my goto for declarative text-based diagramming. I've always thought "there really could be a better tool," but I've never found anything better than PlantUML.

I don't think YUML is going to be my answer, though -- it's paid and doesn't seem to be a local tool, but rather a SaaS model.

This product feels like it should be a local compile-into-image workflow. But that's probably my bias for text-based declarative formats coming through. :)

I mean, the answer could be that you do that three times, then you remember that the emergency AD said that you should trip STAB TRIM CUTOUT when this happens, so you do, and then you realize that you're mistrimmed at less than 1000ft AGL, you just disabled the motor that was allowing you to fix the trim, and now you can't fix it without losing 600ft in the process while you release the yoke.

I am not saying this is likely to be what happened! But given that Boeing didn't even mention any of this in the manual before Lion Air, it seems plausible that they either didn't test it carefully, or tested it at high altitude and imagined that it would never happen at low altitude?
$100/month if you want the things that offers (and I imagine many enterprises don't need many of those things). Also consider that's the list price. There is a reason they have sales people. I'd be surprise if most people are paying list price.
How to Hire a Developer for a Startup
I see you've never had an issue that needed someone to immediately and reliably answer. Even I've had to rely on PagerDuty's ability to both persist in calling and fallback to the next person (all with a history to audit) when a super serious issue occurs. The key though, is for PagerDuty to only be invoked very rarely, so that it isn't becoming abusive.
That was never five minutes just now.
Not everyone is motivated by success. Grigori Perelman?

IMO people interested in success should be suspect. It’s weird to me that people would go through life seeking attention for invention that will not last much beyond their death.

If anyone here believes their efforts at even a Google size company are forever: 80% of the companies listed as Fortune 500 firms do not exist anymore.

Other than a few key discoveries, for a variety of reasons, none of the work at those firms is considered of value.
Someone replied with an article that they were legal, but that article mentioned the surcharge must be disclosed prior to ordering. I suspect there's wiggle room for a good lawyer if they're using mouseprint or not making sure ordering services like Grubhub accurately disclose the charge.
You skipped over the very first tweet where he suggests watching his Fox News appearance, which is supportive.

> [neutral] Isn't it a little strange to constantly rail about "state TV" when it comes to RT & Fox and then hire CIA Directors & General as your "news analysts"?

False. This is critical of MSNBC's hires, and supportive of Fox News and RT.

> [critical] You can announce on MSNBC that Putin may have ordered Trump's attack on Assad & then scoff at Fox & Fake News

False. This is critical of MSNBC and supportive of Fox News. He is scoffing at MSNBC's scoffing at Fox.

That flips your numbers around.
That’s not really it at all. Santa Barbara built a desalination plant in the throes of the last drought (1991). Right about the time they finished it, it started raining, and they mothballed it almost immediately. The plant was only recently recommissioned, at the end of the most recent drought.

The issue is that 99 percent of the time, you can get water a lot cheaper from another source. Due to the mechanics of reverse osmosis, desalination plants have to run all the time to keep the membranes from being damaged, so you end up paying for expensive water in the midst of the rainy season.
This is an amazing concept ! Would love to try
>> "So why did you leave your last company?"

"I left because I was incapable of persuading management of the effectiveness and importance of my team and its contribution to the overall enterprise."

"Wow, don't you think you're being a little hard on yourself?"

"Well, they gave away my team's bonus to another team, despite my objections."

"That's unfortunate, but that still doesn't really explain why you left your last company."

"Well, despite the clear signal they sent when they took away my team's bonus, I didn't get the hint and completely misjudged my importance to the company. See, I painted myself into a corner by giving the executive team an ultimatum."

"Hmmm, yea, not very wise, you probably do suck as a manager."

I’ve moved to a diet mostly based on unlimited fresh fruits and veggies, plus limited cheese and meat. Three months and twenty pounds later, I can tell with some degree of confidence that it is quite difficult to load up on calories from apples, bananas, oranges, lettuce or snap peas. While the insulin hypothesis may be wrong, there is so much food one ingests in a 24 hours period, and if this food is low on calories the grand total will be on the low side.

FWIW, you lost me with "no points for non travel/dining currently". I get 2% on my credit card on all purchases, and I get 2.20% on my high-interest savings. I also have virtual card numbers, though admittedly through a terrible (Flash, so desktop-only) interface.

I can see how this card is great for people who haven't established good credit and need to use debit cards, but I'd think that even this audience would want to get credit cards so they can get improve their credit rating.

Innovation in the space is certainly welcome, so I'm absolutely rooting for you. For now though, it's from the sidelines.
“Mathematicians study curves described by all sorts of equations – but sines, cosines and other fancy functions are only a distraction from the fundamental mysteries of the relation between geometry and algebra.”
Is this statement backed up by theorems or is it being made because there are just more proven theorems in algebraic geometry and there is not much work on solution sets to more general equations?
Sensationalize much? Taxes wouldn't just be a little bit higher under this proposal they'd be double what they are today...in the name of social welfare. And when that ruins the economy, you'll be dealing with another Venezuela.

Social security isn't on its way to insolvency because of disability expansion...it's on its way to insolvency because it was designed in an age when we had an average of three children per female and life expectancy was shorter. Now that we're down to two and possibly dropping...there's less workers per retiree.

PlantUML is great! Key benefits you get from a good text-based diagramming tool:

My brother was (retired in his early 40s) a chef and worked closely with a small cohort of serial restaurateurs. He and his friends swore by Hardees. To this day I don't get it. My father and I still crack jokes at their expense, whenever we see a Hardees, "Where the chef's eat!"

If only we'd been in the south and not the Midwest, WaHo may have won the title for him and his friends. I probably wouldn't tease him about that one, either!

HN is a global community and if something is insignificant for you because it's too far away or something, it's quicker to just ignore it than to go into the discussions and tell people that are actually engaging with the topic that it's not worth their time. A little disrespectful as well.

I can tell you why it's relevant to me: I live in India, so it's local, and it's related to the social effects of technology. Now the front page has news about California being drought-free. It's not of interest to me, so I will just ignore it.
Class, activity and use case diagrams are not in vouge with the development teams. And if they do use them , they tend to be in Visio or with similar tools when they need to be created for requirements / design documentation etc.,

The argument implied as valid by your reply to the person who called it invalid was given several parents up. The chain was that comment, a person calling the argument boring, another person calling it valid, another person calling it invalid, a reassertion of invalidity, a negation of the claim of validity, and then your post re-asserting the arguments validity.

It was not a valid argument structure. The definition of valid is that an argument is valid if the argument structure is such that if the premises were true, the conclusion must be true. The stated conclusion of the post many parents is up is that the amount of emissions is higher. If you agree with me that this argument was not actually made, than you ought to agree with me that what was done must not be a valid argument: that conclusion is not reachable via the questions posed in the post, therefore, it is not a valid argument.

I'm a fan of syllogistic logic, so I shared your care for the definition of the word valid. Also, totally understandable to lose the context. This discussion is nested quite deeply. If I hadn't thought about the comment chain for an hour before giving my reply, I would have lost the context too.
How Sears Lost the American Shopper
Well, I think YC is pretty clear about the sorts of companies they aspire to invest in, e.g., Dropbox, AirBnB, etc. I also imagine quite a lot of the founders who apply to YC aren't aiming for "lifestyle" businesses, in particular since there are cheaper ways, from a dilution point of view, to raise the equivalent amount of capital (or alternatively, to bootstrap to early revenue and find alternative means to finance the business).

YC does indeed optimize for power law outcomes, but then again so does every venture investor (or at least, so should every venture investor).

Would it be amazing? The people doing the hiring would be his managers.. not the devs he would be managing. They're exactly the people who may decide to take a bonus from his team if he's hired. And telling them that if they don't do exactly what he wants, he'll leave at a moments notice.. isn't a good answer to them (or really at all).

Someone will have to deal with this issue.. either him or the new manager. His job is to handle issues like this.. quitting the moment he runs into a problem is not a sign of a good manager.
how are they a monopoly? everything amazon offers can be sourced elsewhere.

The most important thing is to acknowledge that "freedom of choice" or "free will" or any concept like that isn't a binary.

Addiction and marketing both prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that we don't have "perfect" free will, and this is both (1) true regardless of what you think about determinism and (2) more relevant than any consequences of whether the universe is deterministic or not.

The pragmatically relevant aspect of "free will" is to what extent our actions can be predicted and/or manipulated by others today and in the future. This necessarily involves e.g. measurement and computational limitations that others have, and it's something that occurs on a scale rather than as a binary.
When you say elsewhere.. where did it go? What reason did they give for reallocating it? How's the company doing overall?

Edit: another question: how's the teams compensation compared to market?
Algebraic Geometry is a powerful tool of number theory because much of it works over any field. It allows one to translate geometric intuition (algebraic geometry over the complex numbers) into a more algebraic environment (finite, p-adic, or number fields).

Going back further, algebraic geometry over the complex numbers was shown in the early 20th century to be in many ways equivalent to more classical analytic geometry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_geometry_and_analyti...

,`Feedback I got was they expected more, and I did to.'

Doesn't your company have a set criteria for bonus payout like for eg., Derived from overall company performance, department performance , down to team and individual performance?
If it doesn't and you believe your team deserve a higher payout ,clearly the management team doesn't agree with that and so do you as you expected more.
Without a set and agreed bonus payout criteria it is left to a committee or judgement of a few , who I believe have weighed the scenario of your teams morale going down and potentially losing a few people. They are okay with that. Clearly wherever the money have moved to is the area they all collectively value.
I have seen this happen especially in the case of a team that is managing and maintaining a legacy environment tend to not get favourable bonus payout even when they put in extra hours but other teams who are working on the newer releases etc are favoured as they are the future systems.

> I wonder why entrepreneurs don't come to Poland to build their product.

The answer is that immigration is very difficult. I couldn't find any freelancer or entrepreneur visas for Poland, so it looks like it would be impossible for me to relocate there and work on my own startup.

I'm making it even more difficult for myself, because I would prefer to build a small sustainable business where I don't take any traditional investment or go through an accelerator. I also want to have a fully remote team, so I have no need for a physical office or local employees.

Thailand seems to be the best option for now, and it's not through any government program. I'm actually employed by an agency called Iglu [1], so I have a business visa and work permit. However, I don't have a boss, and I find all of my own freelancing contracts. My startup also hires Iglu for development services, even though I'm the sole developer, so I am technically working for Iglu while building my own product.

I think it's a really great setup, and it makes everything very easy, stable, and legal. But I would really like to find some similar opportunities in other countries.

I wasn't crazy about that line, but basically, sines and cosines make much less sense over say, the rational numbers, whereas polynomials work just fine. They're the most general "nice" function one can define over an arbitrary commutative ring.

Going back to the 1800's, in the theory of Riemann surfaces (one-dimensional complex manifolds), the only meromorphic (complex differentiable) functions are ratios of polynomials! And all closed projective complex manifolds are algebraic varieties. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_geometry_and_analyti...

You wouldn't even care about biodegradability had it not been for previous "philosophers" so there's no need to be glib. And who's to say the downstream effects of this research don't lead to advances in areas you care about?

> Any work in any kind of scale setting has to implicitly deal with this.

Obviously. And most experienced engineers know this. But a lot of us never deal with n > 10k or so. I've worked a lot in embedded, and even when n is large, it's usually just moving around a payload. Even when I've dealt with n>>10k, say writing a network server, I've rarely been concerned with complexity. I focus on doing the minimum amount of work possible. It's basically the same thing, without the academic formalism. The main rule of engineering seems to be "don't do stupid things()."
