>My undergraduate school that I won't name was located on a 'land locked ship' in Canada. It was literally land, but commissioned and christened in the Royal Navy as a ship in the 19th century.

Interesting. Near Pune in India, there is a training institute of the Indian Navy called INS Shivaji (INS = Indian Naval Ship). I was surprised by the name when I first heard about it. Seems like the same custom as the one you mention.

I can write a personal data graph crawler in a weekend. I can’t release it because Facebook army of lawyers. Maybe zuckermort should look into the mirror sometime to find the bad faith actors ruining the internet.
I gave up on memorizing APIs long ago (like I regularly have to look up how to lower case a string in languages I've used daily for years). This was triggered by regularly moving between multiple languages with confusing levels of similarity (e.g. ",".join([1,2,3]) vs. [1,2,3].join(",")) where it was impossible to keep straight. However this does not meaningfully impact my productivity because I 1) have gotten really fast at looking stuff up if needed and 2) the tools I use make it really easy to find and adapt similar code that I've written before. I really think programmers will in general gain much more by taking the time to understand the code they are working on (importantly including the code all the other people on the project are writing) than on low level APIs. The latter can be explored with Google and Stack Overflow, and generally safely assumed to do what it says on the tin, but the former will be the source of endless surprise and confusion.

My conjecture is that "using all of the energy" is not going to be the limit. Perhaps I am using the Kardashev scale too loosely.

Unlike previous industrial revolutions, the current revolution in automation has not seen economic growth result from doing more work by unleashing more energy. Economic growth has generally been a result of using existing energy sources more efficiently but also from reducing labor costs.
Can a show serve millions of people around the world? Edison sold his patents for other people to make stuff - there was still a non zero marginal cost to actually get products to customers.

There is no cost for MS to sell a license. Yes you could say that most Windows licenses come with computers that did have a marginal cost. So let’s use an Office subscription as s better example.
(OP here.) Yes, I think this is really the most important issue. Minard's graph was never meant to be observed in isolation, but is part of a greater visual rhetoric. It is also in this context that I did observe the various sources of the graph a bit closer. – I guess, we may say what has become "our Minard" isn't necessarily the "authentic" Minard.
Yeah, I was expecting something along the lines of the old saw "what a team of two programmers can do in two weeks, a team of six programmers can do in three months".

No, it makes it easier, because they have a specification to work from, and they can probably just use that spec to generate their own glue code, assuming any is necessary.

I have never found option 2 to apply in any meaningful fashion, though I'm sure others have done much more of this type of work than I have.
I second the do less work in total but also do more focused work.

I had to take a break for a couple months now where I worked only half days and I've also focused on 1-2 projects instead of being the "person who does everything".
The company I'm working for has gone from a small start-up to a company of 150 people in a few years and while the business grew much of the organizational structure has not followed up and I ended up taking too much responsibility. I've also been "on" for the last five years without the ability to completely relax even on vacations since I was just a phone call away and there was a lot of stuff that only I could do. At one point I was ready to toss the phone in the toilet or smash it against a rock or something. Smart phones are a major source of stress.

I'm back full time now and feel much better but the key is removing the stressors as you call them and focus on fewer things. I've removed a lot of my previous "only me" tasks and focused on two key projects that will make my life even less stressful. I've also sold quite a bit of equity so I won't work myself to death of fear that my absence will send the stock down.
I think HN in particular is too focused on "loss of privacy" as an issue. It seems to me that loss of privacy, while concerning, hasn't caused a fraction of the tangible, measurable problems in the west that misinformation and echo chambers have caused. Loss of privacy hasn't caused anti-immigrant fear-mongering, or conspiracy theorists harassing school shooting victims, or people not vaccinating their children. In areas of the world where loss of privacy _has_ caused citizen harm, it's usually as a result of a despotic regime (thinking specifically of Venezuela).
Virtually all sexually suggestive content is required to be censored/edited on the PS4, per directives from Sony Interactive Entertainment in San Mateo. If history is any indicator, this means they will be the first loser in the console wars, if not for the eighth generation then most certainly for the ninth. If the PlayStation loses significant ground, there's a chance Sony will bow out rather than challenge prevailing California morality and risk their skins.

I stand corrected. That said, I do remember that while the OG PS4 shipped with the Blu-Ray hardware, the PS4 would not play the Blu-Ray format. I guess at some point they started shipping a software update to support the format.

Yes, hiring really is that broken. Everyone who is a player who is openly "hiring" is playing that same game. "if they do maybe they're no good to begin with" is sour grapes, and while it may be true, it's also true that almost no company is good. But they have the money and I need the money, so.

Speaking of which, "it can't be that great of a job"...no, of course not, it's a job. But a job is a job (roughly speaking), and a $300k/year job is to many/most people twice as good as a $150k/year job.
PS4 supported Blu-ray from day one. You just needed to get a free software update.

I did use RSS through Google Reader briefly back in 2009. Then I found out about Twitter, and immediately thought of it as a modern response. Unifying the web's news feeds into one technology was such an obvious solution, its emergence was unavoidable, no matter what way it came. Web platforms always had some form of portal, blog publishing service, general discussion board, or better yet a single tap service where everything anyone wants to know, or at least thinks they do is encapsulated.

What these older services failed to capture that made Twitter and other "social" media sites so popular is the "social" aspect. The automated synchronized posting structure that RSS provides may be more efficient than user-driven Twitter. But with Twitters' intuition, popularity, and ability to communicate within that vast user space is enough to outweigh any of RSS's technological advancements. RSS always seemed like a technology for techies, Twitter brought the feed to laymen.

I Did 20 Mentoring Sessions with Managers from HN: Here's What I've Observed
> What are you talking about? Where did that happen?

I was responding directly to @hermitdev. Did you get your threads crossed? What I'm talking about happened immediately above in the parent comment, beginning with "Often times, these sorts of benchmarks are done with prejudice" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19527057

"You'll see this time and time again in internet benchmarks comparing performance."

> It is perfectly valid to bring up a question that you don't know the answer to.

I agree. It's a bummer that's not really what happened here.

>> What is not obvious is any prejudice, malice, or incompetence.
> Please stop.

The parent comment explicitly stated an assumption of both incompetence and prejudice and I responded directly to that.

From the HN guidelines: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

If you'd like me not to call out speculation, then please assume good faith and don't speculate next time.

> From 2017-08-01[1] to 2017-09-18[2], the benchmark changed from a running time of 1,204.93 second to a running time of 131.39 seconds.

Yes! Now we are getting somewhere. It appears that would change the outcome of the paper. Perhaps it was a mistake. That might mean it was nothing more than an oversight that already got fixed. It doesn't mean there is any other coloring of the study at all, nor that there was any intention or agenda to make TypeScript look bad, right?

I agree with Mark as far as social networks are concerned. The 'social' part of the name is important, and social relationships cannot function without some sort of stake.

Having a unified identity guarantees that people are held accountable for what they say, it reduces fraud, trolling, and it means people have 'skin in the game' when participating in a social environment, it's the basis for trust.
They were in the middle of fixing that before this however: https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/sony-xperia-phones-final...
The problem is even more simple than that. Simply, is the web public or private? The answer in practice is that the web is what ever the service provider needs it to be, which is a shitty answer and why these kinds of problems are present in the first place. The answer to these problems is also simple, but likely more aggressive than Facebook would prefer.

FWIW, I'd say that Win10 display scaling is better than macOS, since you can use non-integer scaling factors. Linux used to be better still, with arbitrary scaling; but recently I've noticed that Gnome has also adopted the macOS model, which is really annoying on some display sizes, mostly on laptops (e.g. on Thinkpad X1, 1x is too small, and 2x is too large). For Macs it's more viable because they control the hardware, but there are some specific scenarios where it doesn't help - I remember this was a major problem when trying to hook up a Mac Mini to a TV a few years ago.

The main complaint here, though, isn't that there are multiple zoom levels of the same icon, but that it's shipped with the app, instead of being provided by the OS.
In a lot of places you do. One starts as a team lead, (which is kind of a journeyman manager where you can defer to the real manager) then might move to managing a subteam of 1-3 people, and then on to a full team.
My main issue of Swift's implementation of ARC is it commonly leads to memory leaks. Even experienced developers can cause unintentional memory leaks. It's extremely common in iOS development. It's also hard to even detect and eliminate them, you just seem memory usage climb as your app ages. It not an issue with iOS because it is commonly very small and an app's have such a short lifecycle.

ARC would be just one my issues using Swift outside of iOS.

I think you are overstating the pause duration of a modern GC. I have used both Go and the JVM server side, not at a huge scale but enough to see GC effecting response times. They add some fluctuate, but nothing compared to network latency or the multitude of other factors that fluctuate heavily. It was never significantly relevant for response times. I'm looking at my server logs right now and theres not even a real correlation between GC and response time. Unless you are considering a 0-10ms fluctuation.

If you are interested in using an ARC server side I know Kotlin Native is using ARC however their implementation eliminates the cyclical reference issue.

Data portability is kinda useless if all your contacts are on a single network. What we really need are federated social networks.

If Facebook loves the GDPR so much why did they move all non-EU users out of its scope when it came into force?

A simple fix to get rid of targeted political ads would be to scrap the ad network altogether. Of course, this is anathema to Facebook because they would stop making money.

Finally, the problem with harmful speech is not that there are multiple services but that the definition of harmful speech differs around the world. What good are independent bodies in the US that regulate Facebook when other countries want different standards?

It seems like they are still active, although not quite as much. The stickied post on that sub says so at least. The main draw for galliumos is support for odd devices for which upstream support is lacking. That's kind of why it exists, and I don't think things have changed materially for a lot of these old devices. Going forward, things should be a bit better since chromeOS itself tracks LTS kernel releases now, and I think they also plan to do kernel upgrades over the life of a device.
Celestial navigation works in the daytime. Star tracking was part of the SR-71 G&C system. The stellar inertial platform was aligned preflight with the aircraft at rest. Day or night made no matter.

This is still completely incorrect. It obviously shipped with BluRay from the beginning, as all PS4 games are distributed on BluRay disc. Further, launch reviews mention not only the slot-loading BluRay drive but the day one patch enabling movie playback:

Actually you just convinced me that the first thing I should try this with is git. I do look up that stuff all the time because none of it makes any sense. Since I will never intuit it, I might as well memorize it. Never had this problem with Mercurial.
I remember sitting in rapture listening to a retired Chevron executive describing the way white collar work used to be. You basically got hired at a megacorp for life. If things didn't work out after the first couple of years, you were gently taken aside, given nothing new to do, and given a salary and an office for an entire year to find a new position. I was flabbergasted. Only professors with tenure or certain government workers have this kind of job stability, but the entire upper middle class had it at one point. Sure, none of them won .com lotto; they arguably had much better lives on average.

My dad was working class and in the union -he had a different kind of stability.
F*ck MZ. He is the last person I want advice from on making the Internet better. FB is part of the problem and I have little to no hope they will ever be part of the solution.
> ...social relationships cannot function without some sort of stake...

Depends on what you mean by "function". Enjoying cat photos or playing a round of a video game doesn't take any stake at all.
Good. Now hopefully others follow suit.

There's no legitimate reason to use URL shorteners. It's only if you want to hide malware, tracking links, referral links, etc - none of which benefit the user.

What has worked for me is largely pulling a minor Peter Gibbons from Office Space: work hard enough to not be a drag on my team, but no more.

Top skincare common mistakes that you should avoid
But in social networks IRL, it doesn't really work that way - because real life bubbles mostly don't intersect, it's as if the person had a separate identity in each. Online social media effectively pushes all the bubbles together, which transforms accountability into witch hunts, where a singular misstep is quickly propagated and results in outrage mobs across all the bubbles. Thus, the scope of social ostracism is rarely proportionate to the transgression.
I agree. I am not sure that any substantial "loss of privacy" has even occurred.

Just to posit an example, Banks and Credit Bureaus have long tracked extensive information about us including where we have lived, worked, and what we have purchased.

Should we be able to have our credit history erased from Credit Bureau and Banks in the name of privacy?
Yeah cool story bro. How many star engineers are in the world? And how many average engineers?
BluRay playback was enabled in the Day One patch, which also basically contained the rest of the OS. The hardware was shipped as a brick, essentially, and the Day One patch was mandatory.

There is zero chance they withdraw from gaming. Take a look at the latest earnings report which covers through Dec 2018. https://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/IR/library/presen/er/pdf/18q3_...

Slide 11, "Q1-Q3 FY2018 Results by Segment" shows that all of Sony had an operating income of a bit over 800 billion yen. Of that, about 250 billion came from gaming and network services (so hardware + PSN, basically). By comparison, mobile communications _lost_ about 50 billion.
