Anyways, it still doesn't make sense to talk to users once and then just go crazy with UI design. A lot of user research requires having prototypes (digital ones too). It's a back and forth, rather than a waterfall of talk to users, think, whip up some design.
Commure, Inc. | San Francisco, CA or Boston, MA | Senior Deployment & Ops Engineer; Rust Engineer | Fulltime | ONSITE

We are a stealth startup working to fix the software doctors use. If you have seen what physicians have to put up with, it's a bad version of the 90s, and makes medical care worse and more expensive for everyone. We are a group of previously successful engineers and entrepreneurs (MIT, Dartmouth, Stripe, Twitter, Salesforce, Palantir, DataPower, etc) and senior doctors (Johns Hopkins, UCSF, etc) who are determined to finally fix this.

Compensation: market salary & equity -- we are well funded by top-tier VCs.

Stack: includes Rust, React and Kubernetes. In addition to building our back end in Rust, we are also solving some very interesting problems in the areas of data transformation, high-speed APIs, flexible UX frameworks and fine-grained authorization for healthcare data.

Please email jobs@commure.com and mention "[hnkubernetes]" in the subject line.

Other positions available: -
Rust Engineer (Rust, data pipelines)
Senior Front End Engineer (React Native, React)
(please use [hnrust] or [hnfe] in subject line for the above)

Locations: San Francisco, Boston or Montreal; sorry, no distributed/remote option at the moment.

Unless you're referring to the very new "no-kill" eggs [0] (which AFAIK are only on sale in Germany), all eggs involve harming an animal. And that's before we get to any concerns about how the laying females are treated.

I eat eggs myself, so I'm not preaching. I just sometimes wonder whether I should.

> liability conundrum

So many programs and devices are used where someone would be liable if they malfunctioned. In a production line for example, if something goes wrong and it has to be turned off, every hour costs $$$ to the production plant owner. Similarly for robots: there have been cases where industrial robots have killed people. Accidents with machines can happen in so many industries. If the machine is wrong in 0.2% of cases, that's a risk that can be calculated. If its rate of misdiagnoses is equal to the rate of a human expert, then replacing non-experts with it will improve patient experience. Of course, there might be super experts whose patients would be worse off if they were treated by an AI.
The actual theology is pretty beside the point here. Really, you're just reinforcing the original observation that paulryanrogers made, which was that getting moral or ethical guidance from the Bible, as a non-religious, requires slogging through many layers that only apply to believers.
I use three 4K monitors. The middle one is portrait mode, which is great for writing code and preferable for reading articles/documents, which accounts for 90%+ of what I do every day. The two monitors on either side are landscape mode and I use them for displaying the UI of apps I'm working on, Inspect & other Chrome developer tools, API docs, etc. The middle monitor runs at 1080*1920 resolution (because I'm old and that's the best combination of comfort and crisp text for my eyes) while the two side ones are 2560x1440.

The bezels are completely irrelevant; I never notice them at all.
I wonder how the increase in performance might offset the difference in battery drain between both protocols. If wireguard uses a bit more battery to achieve a task quicker the extra idle time achieved might off-set any increase in power usage.
Any anthropologist or scientist worth their salt knew this for years. Cooking meat is one of the main reasons fire was controlled, and anyone who didn't eat meat was usually for religious reasons or during a famine.

I'm just as appalled as anyone else when it comes to the ethical treatment of animals, but to deny that we didn't evolve to be omnivores despite overwhelming evidence is... well it's silly.

I think in places like SF they are more concerned with teaching young children about sex and condoms and people with mental illnesses, not algebra.
French (and German) is a gendered language: we say «une»/«un» and «la»/«le». And we don't even have a way to opt-out the gender (German does).

In the 18th and 19th centuries, L'Académie Française tried to get rid of the feminine version or many existing names, and promote the idea of the masculine as «gender-neutral». The most (in)famous example is the masculine auteur (the French for “author”) replacing autrice for both sex. But this unification around the male version always felt artificial and somewhat offensive for women, because of the gendered articles.
Another great issue that is overlooked is the #metoo era we live in, where men are just disgusting pigs and its our uncultured savage nature that is the issue. We are blamed for looking at a woman's ass when she chooses to wear a very tight dress showing all her curves in the name of freedom & female liberation. That is just a reflex action. One cannot be blamed for laughing when they see or hear something funny. In the same way, as a heterosexual guy, I look at what attracts me.

The main issue that, a woman has just claim without any proof and the guy is just ruined.

That is the reason why myself and couple of friends (single) have backed away from dating apps. But now we are quite anxious to date anyone we work with or lives near us.
Wasn't the framework itself originally called COM+? The environment variable tweak knobs still carry the prefix "ComPlus_"
Deciding to accept the status quo is also a political decision reflective of one’s political views. The issue here is that you don’t agree with this particular view, not that it is a political view.

Using the speed test app I get 65 direct and 58 using the NYC setting in PIA. Ping is 31 ms for PIA vs 28 direct.

I look forward to testing with Warp once it's released, but I don't see how it could be much better than the status quo. PIA has lots of servers all over the place, cloudflare might have a bigger network but the delta should be negligible.

I am a bit surprised that fast would get throttled though.
True. I could also probably find people who think cutting down plants isn't ethical.
I actually meant "very biased", not "very unbiased"! Apologies, obviously I have some strong opinions on this since I maintain cash.
As I said somewhere else, for decades we told us asbestos and lead in paint were ok. Big economical incentive + no study on health effect + lots of experts raising their voices = red flag imho.

That being said we're all mostly ok with living in city centers and breathing constant exhaust fumes, I suspect most people just don't care that much about their health.
One of the accomplishments distributions point to are European cathedrals, which were built by hundreds/thousands of self-employed craftsman who owned their own tools. A modern equivalent would be a company like Google paying thousands of full-time freelancers to bring their own computers and work on large systems together. Or in the case of a Trans-Atlantic cable, paying independent electrical engineers, electricians, boat owners, etc. to work together to lay the cable. Distribution doesn’t rule out forming collectives, corporations or joint ventures to accomplish tasks, either, and a professional might be part of more than one “employer” in this sense.
I don't see anything wrong with that. If I move out to a place without blacks, because it's a place without blacks and I am the one that moved, why should I have to accept them following me? That's not racism. That's wanting to be left alone. It's also not unfair. Forcing someone to move is unfair. Moving out on your own and preventing people you don't like from moving in isn't unfair.
Ghee, that doesn't sound right.
Once Google Reader died, I found The Old Reader (theoldreader.com) and just ran with that.

I never stopped using RSS, and trying to get syndication from Twitter would cause my head (and my Twitter feed for things I actually care about) to explode.

I'm sad that we still have to remind people of these things.

If this is a joke, this is incredibly distasteful. If this isn't, please seek help. There is no such thing as hitting your wife "from a place of love". If this is a boast on your consensual sex life, then this is merely pathetic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_personal_is_political
Partly the problem is "the system" people created for themselves. At some point people started suing employers because of some really contrived reasons so employers became very, very careful.

If there is a big company that hires a lot of people and this is managed by many HR stuff, it is much cheaper and safer not to give any response than go through every rejection response to double check if something seemingly innocent cannot be interpreted as "discriminatory practice", rightly or not.
You're absolutely correct. The Party don't want us to access that tiny percentage of Google results that are political. Yet most in the west want us to have fuck-all. It's good intention. But the result is even worse.
How to Launch Marketplaces in Private Beta
It’s mostly personal preference.

I prefer two identical monitors next to each other which works well for multitasking with two different applications, eg IDE + safari. In this setup, the bezels help separate the contexts for each application. However two monitors don’t work as well for one single application spanning between them, eg giant Minecraft.
Do you have any evidence for your conspiracy theory?

If not, it's not helpful for the discussion.

Most of what people think are "ethical" eggs that are sold in stores are basically a scam. Sure, they're eggs, but "free range" can mean the chickens have access to a little door and a puny plot of land for an hour, and "cage free" can mean the chickens never go outside. Pasture-raised eggs are your best bet, and that's all I'll buy, but even I'm skeptical because I've been burned so many times by believing my eggs were ethical.
Should Cloudflare go evil in some way then I would guess other services would pick up the ball and would keep delivering the same level of service as this one.
Note to galaxylogic: When lispm wrote:

(defmethod foo ((p person) (s string))
(list p s))

He was implicitly defining a "generic function" "foo" of two arguments.

Defmethod was defining an implementation of the generic function foo for arguments person with string.

One could later put something like:

(defmethod foo ((p person) (p person))
(send-greeting p p))

And thus define a "foo" that works on two persons, etc.

CLOS allows specializing not just on classes, but also on specific instances, so some method applies only for a specific instance. For example a "foo" that applies only to a particular "important" person.
To me, a good software engineer is the one who could figure out the issues.
In most of case, it's not about the solution. It's about identifying the issue is the hardest part of the job.

Nice play with words :)
So, I would think of it a little differently. Sometimes your reward function in your life will shift: You go from being excited to get good grades to excited to get a raise, or you go from being excited to see the red/green test cycle go green to being excited to hire the right developer for your team.

All things go, I just pray that I can always either adapt or guide my life in a direction that makes me happy. I'm basically a full time manager now, but I do find it incredibly fulfilling.
You gotta learn the poker face. I can be in a technical meeting with a woman and be playing a graphic sex fantasy with her on a background thread.
I have no sympathy for high frequency traders losing everything.

So many more interesting and meaningful uses of computing than trying to build a system to-out cheat other systems in manipulating the global market for the express interest of amplifying wealth.
Heh, this reminds me of a fond story. My eighth grade algebra teacher (who did seem to genuinely love math) once said that mathematics was a game invented by man. I didn’t appreciate this at the time but I wish this was the mentality.

IMO the US math curriculum now is designed to train kids to become pre-PC-era clerks (who only need basic, manual arithmetic) rather than engineers.

I use this "Organic Egg Scorecard" to help determine if I should buy eggs from a particular brand: https://www.cornucopia.org/scorecard/eggs/
Yes, basically.

Could also approach from usb/wifi/bluetooth/etc instead of local userspace.

The problem specifically is that unlocking the bootloader the official way deletes drm keys stored in a "TA" partition, and that makes the camera less functional. It would be sufficient to find a vulnerability that let me back up the DRM keys - but that seems unlikely without gaining root access and I'd have more confidence that I backed up the right thing with root access.
Regardless, whatever your "ethical treatment of a fowl" criteria are, you are fairly likely to be able to find eggs that meet it.
I read somewhere, don't remember where, that when a business isn't going well, people start grasping at "process improvements" like it will bring about a huge transform in the way business is going. In reality it doesn't, but it's the sort of busy-work that makes people feel like they are being useful.

I think it's very similar in education. There are vast swaths of the education system that are doing absolutely terrible. Much of the problems are outside of school administrator's control (broken families, gangs, poverty, etc), so they reach for "process improvements" and hope that makes a difference.
I'm still waiting on a C64 port.
It reminds me of a vegetarian restaurant owner in India, who told me he followed the advice of his guru: from the egg comes a chicken (so no), from the milk comes no calf (so yes).

And how do you measure the person who takes time out of their day to help a colleague in another department, who is having a tough time understanding an issue, so the person takes 15 minutes out to help them, boosting morale and overall company cohesion?

Or should they be penalised for wasting 15 minutes?

While this is all true, there is a tendency that big markets create big players. Eg. in the 1950s/60s, many European countries had several independent car manufacturers. The cheap car in your country may have been worse than a cheap car of your neighboring country, but it cost less for the lack of tariffs. The local manufacturer had your business. When the borders came down, the smaller companies could no longer compete.
