That is bad leadership. You still need to craft roles and titles in a manner that allows ownership and autonomy.

At my large company that I have been with for 4 years, you are given a title. The title has a certain baseline level of expectations. If you want the next title, you start acting like it. Then you are given it. You are given freedom and autonomy on how to act like it. For example, an expectation of a senior is to mentor. You can mentor in hundreds of different ways: run a workshop, do one-on-ones, pair programming with a junior, have lunch with people, and so on. Seniors are expected to demonstrate technical prowess. The baseline is delivering results on your immediate team, but if you want the next level up, you can branch out and impact the wider organization: you can do this through refactoring a large portion of a legacy system, improving the performance of a current system, adding better test coverage to a project you are not on, contributing to open source, or having a talk accepted at a conference. Just one of many examples.

I think this way works the best from my experience with two other systems: the ones as you describe, and then the mythological flat org.
So what is the nomenclature for these things now? Apple keeps calling them the "New" i-X, which gets me confused with the last one they released that they called the "new" one, and eventually we settled on some kind of retroactive name for it like "Retina i-X" or "i-X (20XX)".
I'm not sure I catch your drift. It seems like the point is that it doesn't actually implement the SSH protocol- it just exploits the fact that a real SSH server is perfectly within its rights to send any data it wants to before a version string. (And on top of that, it looks like it doesn't even read anything from the socket?)

Is there something I'm missing here (probably related to poll(2)) that could cause this to be insecure?
Is there a demo server somewhere? wonder how well it will work if you are at 200ms from the server.
It really Just Works. We’ve used Skype previously and literally every group call had issues, 75% of the time requiring everyone to restart the app entirely.

We’ve been using Zoom for a year now and have had zero issues. None at all.
I find the title a little misleading, "95% of Bitcoin exchange volume is fake." to differentiate from transactions performed inside the network.
I've had great success with Vue's builtin SSR -

https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/ssr.html

Great for FB/twitter share scraping, google scraping, etc. Also much better startup speeds.

Once you get it configured it's very little additional work to maintain.

I have it set up to do things like determine mobile/desktop depending on the `user-agent` to determine the prerendered page to serve, and then the client side JS takes over depending on the viewport size and will either a) Rebuild (less than 1% of the time) changing the markup from desktop->mobile of mobile->desktop or b) Continue happily
Lightning Network in general is still pretty young, it's no surprise that the big exchanges haven't begun working with it yet. Especially since most implementations still have maximum limits in place to prevent bugs from costing too much money while the software is still being developed, tested, and proven.
Over 200 slides. Clearly a different culture of use at the SEC for powerpoint than in Silicon Valley. Is this common?
‘U.S. companies must realize that in doing business with China, "they are automatically required to have a cell of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in that company and that it's going to lead to that intellectual property from that company finding its way to the Chinese military," Dunford said. "There's a distinction without a difference between the CCP and the government and the Chinese military."’

The argument is that the Chinese government imposes conditions that the DoD could never get away with (at least not easily and publicly), and Google is playing into their hands.

Traditionally bitcoin has been held to a new higher impossible standard than other asset classes, when put on the same level of them it functions similarly.

For example, when looked at as a currency it acts similarly. Where the small tiny faction of the asset (M0) is used as a medium of exchange where people buy consumer goods and services. With M1 M2 M3 and MB being illiquid parts of the supply used for investment into other assets or for stores of value.

> So people are using it as a store of value, rather than a medium of exchange?

Just like currencies and metal commodities, both, and in similar proportions.

I think there are benefits to formalizing expectations (and what it means to exceed them) but yes, you can communicate that just by having a conversation. In fact the conversation is essential, a formal career ladder is just a tool.

I would say that the times in my career that I have had the most success were the times that titles didn't matter at all: what mattered was that I was doing hard, essential work as part of a highly-aligned team that was solving problems that impacted the business.

But eliminating job titles won't make those kind of situations happen, and having job titles doesn't prevent it. I've been in an organization that tried to just eliminate title differentiation, and it didn't work very well.

Let me change focus for a bit, and instead I'll address what I think would be necessary to successfully create a flat organization. The only way to make people comfortable with eliminating job title as a status marker is if they possess other status markers that are as strong (or stronger) than a title.

At a minimum, I think you would need to:

1) pay top-of-market salaries

2) fire anyone who isn't an exceptional performer

From what I've heard, Netflix is a pretty flat company, and they (claim to) do both of those things. Obviously there is more to it than just that, and I wouldn't recommend cargo-culting them, but I think they serve as a useful example.

Yeah, agree-- the moment that you all get KV to mature to a more Dynamo-like experience with queries and secondary indexes, that opens up a whole ton of possibilities in terms of easily rolling out entire applications that can scale from zero to whatever size.
But Linus is not god and is prone to his own biases. The fact that he's at the top and reviews all the commits is simply a product of history more than anything. I'm sure there have been several "average" developers that have worked on kernel code and submitted it just by the shear effort needed to maintain such a large code base.

I guess, my original point is, there will be "average" developers committing to the kernel just by statistics alone.
One of the breakthroughs in stealth aircraft came from the book of a Soviet scientist ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petr_Ufimtsev ). So it's not surprising that free sharing of information can inadvertently helping rivals.
....Why did the Pro get USB-C but the Mini is now shipping with Lightning? I'm so confused. I just want all my shit to have one charging cable.
I think it's similar to Macs. iPad mini (2019), just like 15" MacBook Pro (Late 2018).
I edited my comment to replace "inherent interests" with "biological trends in interest differences".

I'm not trying to make a comment about individuals, only about trends that we might see in the population at large.

The topic further up was whether differences in job participation can be explained by reasons other than discrimination - the answer is that, yes, they can be explained by other factors such as biological trends in interest differences. One needs to control for these factors before drawing conclusions about discrimination.
I've publicly tweeted about this as well. So is this a case where they're calling a bug really a feature?
Which is not true for professional unions - this is classic red scare tactics that to be blunt people like Presidents father and Grandfather trotted out.

A front end that (perhaps only had a mode that) required delete or update queries to be preceded by select queries, and then styled as “DELETE IT;” or “UPDATE IT SET ...;” which use the FROM and (if present) WHERE clause from the preceding SELECT would be interesting.
I think this is a drastically more appropriate response from a leader in a community.

Survival of the fittest sure, but when the requirements to change are hard because of high technical accomplishment and a high standard vs grossly complex are two different things.

I like Linus and his willingness to say what he thinks but sometimes he really is just an asshole from the old guard.
In general, making it easier for more people to get into programming feels feels like a good thing to me. Programming is a game-changer in terms of its ability to amplify talents and interests. It's the longest lever I know of.

What stops people from getting into programming, however, is a bit more difficult to determine, but there does seem to be patterns. Less women and blacks compared to asians and whites.

Oddly enough, trying to figure out the causes of these differences intersects a broad range of fields from evolution to sexual discrimination to access to resources.

And because there's so much uncertainty, the explanation quickly turns into politics.

We detached this comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19465697 and marked it off-topic. Nothing wrong with your comment at all, it just shouldn't be at the top of this thread. Mine shouldn't either, but it's up there for different reasons unfortunately.
What about the article is disingenuous? It doesn't even seem to be making any arguments.
I can't wait to try out Workers. I've always found "serverless" interesting in concept but the cold starts and vague pricing keep me away. It's pretty cool that Workers actually makes latency better rather than neutral/worse.
People always have a very hard time believing crime is decreasing where they live. For example, I'm sure I could convince you that crime is decreasing in Russia, Poland, Scandinavia, Germany, Canada or even New York but I'll never ever get you to believe it is decreasing in San Francisco! :) Similarly, a Londoner would never believe their city's crime rate is decreasing but easily accepts that San Francisco's is.

There are a lot of criminologists in the United States and they will all agree on that violent crime is much less than what it used to be, with some parts of the country (Colorado, for example...) bucking the trend. The idea that they would all have been fooled by manipulated data is absurd.

For example, yes it is possible that some police departments has a tendency to under-report crime. Criminologists aren't dumb and they know about such tendencies. So to counter that they measure crime rates using other statistics too.

One example is victim surveys in which they ask X number of people if they have been the victim of a crime. If the number of respondents answering yes decreases then it is plausible that the crime rate has decreased. Another is hospital surveys in which they ask hospitals how many patients they have treated for being punched in the face. If the hospitals report that fewer patients have been treated for getting punched in the face than before, then it is plausible that the number of people getting punched in the face has decreased.

Putting enough of these statistics together lets you conclude that, yes, violent crime definitely has decreased.

For a better explanation you have to ask a real criminologist, which I'm not.
To be fair, the tech companies are stuck between a rock and a hard place. The media has been heavily pushing the narrative that women are underrepresented at these tech companies - and they are compared to the general population. But I've seen plenty of stories, even from reputable sources like the NYT, criticizing tech companies for only hiring 20-25% women while failing to mention that this is exactly in line with the percentages of tech workers that are women. Same sort of deal with URM.

Ironically, the concern over discrimination in tech is itself the cause of a significant amount of explicit discrimination.
A signed transaction log doesn't solve the censorship issue either.
Then again Ghidra was hyped for months prior to its release.
"Anyone who argues there should be "More women in medical school" needs to go visit a secretarial school. Completely filled with super smart women interested in typing and being secretaries."

"If secretarial school women found being doctors as interesting as they did being Secretaries, we wouldn't have any shortage of women being doctors."

same comment in 1950 when only 6% of doctors in the US were women (surprisingly, a lower number than in 1890), which was due to, surprise! male hostility to women in such a career, as we are seeing on gala display in this thread. in the case of medicine, the barriers were only broken through more forceful means than we see in tech, e.g. class action lawsuits and federal legislation.

lots of great background at https://www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2016/01/fight-women-doct...
You are trying to verify an innate property of a person by measuring the emergent outcome of their choices. While this is a good litmus test, I do not think the answer to quantifying this acclimation toward a certain profession is something that can be measured discretely.
1. Yes. And I'm allowed to have opinions on other people's opinions.

2. Yes, and that is what I take issue with, and yes, I did address the point. She says that it is 'overrated, super-inefficient way to "broaden your horizons"', and I said that there is more than one way to broaden your horizons than to talk to people who live far away from you, such as going to historical locations or natural settings.
> The Scandinavian countries have 10-20% women in tech.

Wait, 10%-20% of what? 20% of all women (or all men) involved in tech work seems like a lot.

If it is impractical for professional organizations to handle crypto transactions then it is impractical for anyone. If the blockchain works, if it's good for anything, then ... use it!
Arg, I can't believe I brain-fumbled that. I meant to type GW. Wish I could still edit.

Yes, it's 1-2 orders of magnitude.
One villain here is CoinMarketCap, which obviously knows most of its listed exchanges are fake yet continue to show their reported volumes. I believe they are paid by fraudulent exchanges to do this. CMC's product is solid but its values are corrupt.
Given all the additions they should've placed less emphasis on the before/after. The really cool thing about the demo isn't "look how great a remastered version of Quake 2 can look", it's "look, we can run an entire game in real-time with nothing but raytracing, even if it requires a low polygon count". The Metro and Battlefield demos only use RTX for small pieces of their environment where it has the greatest effect; this is a whole level using no rasterization at all. The other improvements distracted from that somewhat.
You've really messed up your Farmville clone if it's losing money.
That's covered under "no consequences". You don't need fancy tech, most of the malicious behavior comes from a limited set of bad actors and vectors. It's just not stopped because nobody cares to.
iPad Mini (2019) seems like the reasonable choice. The Mac and iPad are stable enough as products that the main pressure to upgrade is that it's broken or too slow. It's not like an iPhone where there's a new design language every three years, steadily improving cameras, or big improvements to screen brightness and anti-glare.

If they put iPhone version numbers across all their products you'd have obnoxious names like iMac 19s Max. Calling them by their size and year is more meaningful than trying to remember "How old is an iMac 14?" since they aren't on a strict yearly release clock like the phones are.
This is godly.
I wonder how many people are going to be upset that their "in-game purchases" are going poof.
So long as every one agrees that some sort of organization is desirable, I can't see what's wrong with potential members arguing out the details. That's the point of the democratic component.

On the other hand, subterfuge to derail the whole process with a form of concern trolling is not cool.
>Because capitalism has nothing to do with the issue at hand.

Your position is that the unavailability of housing to those suffering diseases tied directly to their being unable to pay market price for housing somehow has nothing to do with the prevailing economic arrangement that utterly defines the housing market these persons cannot participate in. They don't have and cannot borrow capital, but their suffering "has nothing to do with" the prevailing system that revolves around / is animated by nothing but...capital? Total nonsense.

> Our governments have all the legal and revenue-generating tools they need to enact any policy they wish.

Your position is that concentrations of wealth -- such wealth's tangible assets dominated by holdings of real estate -- do not overwhelmingly divert the attention, priorities, electoral outcomes and revenues of government to their own ends at the explicit costs of the safety net. You seem to believe government does not sell political results exclusively to persons who can pay for those results. Again: total nonsense.

> Finally, I'm not sure what alternative you're advocating for

I'm advocating for merely mentioning capitalism in the discussion! And that much is too much, apparently.

I suggest you examine your own indoctrination in this economic arrangement if it is so sensitive that it cannot abide even its naming when discussing the intensification of suffering caused by lack of capital under the system that is exactly centered on capital.
Jessica explicitly says in her blog post that many of the women who consider applying to YCombinator have a lot of useful business skills and domain expertise for the business they want to start, but are held back because they can't code an initial version of the product.
Now that you mention it, I see that I misread the comment. Thanks!
I like to take the most positive outlook on these sorts of things... What a fantastic opportunity for 40 women!

In my career and life, I've been fortunate to have a lot of great opportunities - some that I sought out and some that fell into my lap. I've tried to pay it forward when I can and I am sure that these women will too given the chance.

The impact of these 40 scholarships could be 40 more technical cofounders or mentors or inventors - and that is a great thing for the community. I hope that 1+ of these ladies offer me a great opportunity or create an amazing product that I love :D
No, they are calling it a bug that they intend to resolve produced during the effort to implement a feature.

They both acknowledge that it is not working as expected and state that they intend to restore it to expected function and will notify of that on the issue.
Female representation in tech. I meant that 10-20% of tech workers are women.
It's a fairly natural outgrowth of the pressure (since 80s) to run (public) universities "more like a business". Funding was cut and restructured, a professional class of management moved in, and universities were encourages/mandated to look for new sources of revenue. One of the common variants of this was to develop fairly aggressive "technology transfer" offices. The idea being that IP was being developed, but not monetized. It hasn't been super successful, for a bunch of reasons.
I disagree. I think they should patent it & make a profit. I also think the government should get a cut of that revenue if they provided any kind of grant. That rewards tax payers for supporting policies that invest in fundamental research.

The government can, if necessary, use that revenue for incentives to encourage deployment; for example to drop the upfront cost in the short-term to incentivize adoption. Use market-based solutions with aligned incentives instead of trying to pretend there is no market or that incentives aren't misaligned.
I don't know of any off the top of my head or a quick google search. I do know, from the latest ElixirTalk podcast, that it's very careful about what it sends over the wire, only the parts that have changed. If you're interacting with an API to get the same information for a SPA you're probably going to have similar latencies.
You can get a USB-C to Lightning cable if you want to charge off the same charger.
> She can't do that and at the same time complain about being treated as a woman.

She's not complaining about "being treated as a woman"; she is specifically complaining about this:

> "I can't join a chat or slack channel and count on getting help because I posted a question. I can count on being dismissed, sexually harassed and treated like an unwelcome intruder."

I don't think people should have to hide their identity in order to be able to discuss tech with their peers without harassment or being dismissed.
Compressing individual files would probably result in a bigger file, ofc depending on the content mostly.
I like this characterization. I would tend to agree.
Best practice would be to wrap anything that is both unnecessary for SEO and non-trivial into <no-ssr> tags. No need to render a datetimepicker widget on the server, especially if Google bot is requesting the page.

CBT has a large evidence base and appear to work for 50% to 60% of the people who take it. We have huge amounts of data from the English NHS IAPT scheme.

That number needed to treat is pretty good. You may want to compare it to other routine medication such as statins or blood pressure meds.
Smallpox is eradicated and nobody is getting vaccinated for it anymore. It is not worth the hassle, expense, and indeed the very small danger of negative effects. I and the people I know get boosters for more common diseases (measles for instance) every 10 or 20 years.
But in a weird sort of way, it's cheaper for the inmates who, upon possible release some day, will be at the very bottom of a very, very steep housing pyramid.
MIPSfpga 2.0: the CPU architecture course that’s different from the rest
You don’t have to use GA for your own needs. If you have a traditional web site, you can get a lot done with nginx logs. Things get hairier with an SPA, but it isn’t too complicated to replicate Google Analytics’ “event” features on your own.

I recall someone posting a privacy-friendly analytics tool on show HN a few months back, so you don’t have to roll your own.

The downside is that you lose GA’s insight into who your users are (gender, interests, age group...). But that is some seriously creepy stuff when you stop to think about it.
While common, it's not so bad. Carlsen has a good family and he wasn't pressured to do anything. Polgar sisters were raised as chess players, but they all say only positive things about their childhood. 9 y.o Tihon Chernyaev is close to the level of Fide Master and plays competitively, but it's more of his obsession, and his mother just helps and encourages him without any pressure (that's from her own words, so could be wrong).
