The OP could be out of line, but there is another factor in play.

Remember that when a company wants to keep someone, they will tolerate no end of ridiculous behavior. When they don't care or want someone out, they tolerate nothing, or invent things not to tolerate.

There is a personality type who cherry picks easy problems from other peoples queues and then front runs the news of solving them. They create a race to the bottom environment where to survive in the org, people start competing to claim credit for insignificant problems and create pressure to neglect the valuable and hard ones. It also creates "turf," instead of collaboration.

There is a lot of advice that will say, "things are dynamic, be yourself, be authentic, collaborate," but what advice really means is, "no, the situation isn't changing, we're not making the jerk accountable, you are the bottom dog."

A manager who lets this happen is also encouraging it. Maybe the culture is such that it doesn't matter, and the jerk has protection higher in the chain, but the effects are clear.

In principle, you can always ask a manager to clarify roles and rules. In conversations, you can always ask that colleague for clarification of principles, e.g. "thanks for the insight, and while I balance it with other priorities, to be clear, do I have a reporting relationship to you, or has your manager given you direct accountability for this work?" In practice, this can alienate people by asserting your interest and forcing a decision, and they may resent you for it.

If they do, find a new job, there are better places.
You’re a junior developer. Honestly, you probably don’t know anything besides what you learned in school and you’re finding out that academia is only slightly related to the real world.

Be humble, be quiet, listen and learn.

I’ve been doing this $a_long_time and every time I start a new job I act like a junior, no nothing developer until I get both the political and technical lay of the land.
The new submission guidelines define on- and off-topic as follows:

On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic., https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

The first highlight is the good, general rule, the second highlight the one that applies to the submission in question, in my opinion.
If there was demand for the services ( cooking, bike maintenance, simple math ), I'm sure schools would offer them. The point is who is going to pay to keep these schools open and pay the salaries of the teachers if people aren't willing to pay for these services?

Besides, with the internet, learning to cook, maintain bike or even basic math is available to most people. It's how I learned to cook.

And finally, the Hacker ethos is fairly anti-"schooling". Most hackers view school as indoctrination centers rather than centers of education. The idea of a "hacker" is being a curious free-thinker who tinkers and tries to learn things on their own. Maybe we should give everyone access to the internet so that they can seek the knowledge they want?
Absolutely, I agree.
The presumption is innocent until proven guilty and the problem with sex crimes is even the accusation can completely destroy someones life regardless even if they are later found to have been innocent.

In reality it is no different from ANY other crime in that there needs to be evidence that a crime has actually been committed.
No, but the defense can and probably will subpoena these things. As a prosecutor you’d be dumb not to look at evidence you guess will come out at trial anyways.

Better participation. A lot more people know how to use GitHub's tools. It'll likely increase the amount of development, participation, pull requests, etc that ASF projects get. Does it matter that GitHub themselves is not open source?
Yes it is.

- Per usage
Minor point: the headline keeps it quite neutral as to whether this is a good thing or a mistake!
Because the harm done by cyclists is a tiny fraction of that done by drivers. Jerk cyclists very occasionally kill pedestrians, whereas jerk drivers kill pedestrians all the time. So it's disingenuous to equate them.
Agreed - those are both great components of active play.
We can argue about whether criminal law should focus on punishment or rehabilitation, but it should be completely evident that it's about punishing/rehabilitating the right person. Criminal prosecution isn't a game you're trying to win.

If the investigation surfaces any evidence at all that the defendant might be innocent (or hints at the existence of said evidence), it's a gross miscarriage of justice not to bring this evidence forward.
"as gender roles drift towards more unisex" - yeah that's not really happening.
That's one thing that's changed since my childhood.

As a kid, here in the UK, most schools, public buildings and towns (in the street) had drinking fountains. Most town centres, shopping areas, tourist spots etc had them. Quite often they had a way to fill a bottle too. In the eighties they died out, and you'll rarely to never see one today. Why? They certainly weren't unsafe.

Bottled water producers seem to have managed to put people off our overwhelmingly safe tap water and drinking fountains. Now tap is seen as second rate somehow. Put in a vending machine instead, etc. Drinking fountains in schools and streets are long gone.

So now everyone can buy a Coke or bottled water, complete with single use plastic, and we mistakenly call that progress. The same people seem fine using tap water for tea, ice, juice etc.

Yet another bit of progress that baffles me. :)
Let’s flip this over. In the case of a woman who is murdered and who has a male partner, it is nearly ALWAYS the partner. It isn’t a growing problem, it has been with us forever.

Now obviously, the easiest and cheapest thing for the taxpayer would be to simply lock up the partner when a woman with a partner is murdered.

That would be unjust, even if it is nearly always right and easiest and cheapest. Ok, but MRA folks would go ballistic, so let’s make it easier:

If a woman with a male partner is murdered, we simply require the male partner to give up their cell phone’s contents. No silly paperwork for a warrant, no laws about self-incrimination or any of that, we just cite the “Taxpayer’s Efficiency Act of 2019” and they have to hand it over, or sit in jail for contempt until they do.

Is that still unjust?

It is, isn’t it?

I put it to you that if false accusations of rape, which happen rarely, justify examining phones belonging to the victims, then murder of a woman by her male partner, who is usually the perpetrator, justifies the exact same thing.

What stops us in both cases is the notion of justice. It is unjust whether the person is likely or unlikely to b a law-breaker. And we as a society have decided that justice is a greater good than saving a few bucks or making things easier for police.
I guess that's how people our age felt about rock'n'roll in 1959... (Approaching forty here.)

Too often my knee-jerk reaction to unexpected things is "There's no possible cultural value in this." But it usually pays off to put in a bit of effort to try to understand what the practitioners are getting out of it.
Seems like a trivial thing to debug by simply looking at your console. If it repeatedly errors you just have to inspect the letters. Half of programming for me is performed quickly by linting away errors
Thank you.

If you are put off, it's a good sign you shouldn't even try to build it. If you're discouraged that easily, you aren't going to have the desire or drive to stick with it.

Let's go back in time 20-25 years. I was a wannabe game programmer, and every few months I'd get a stick up my ass to write a Doom clone, RTS, or whatever game I was playing at the time. I'd recruit a buddy or two from a chat room or messageboard. Even though whatever game was out there (Quake II, AoE) was amazing and something we'd never come close to, we'd start methodically planning out the game, star writing an engine, have some test art created...you couldn't stop us. At least not at the start. Eventually we'd get distracted and go our seperate ways, but we still worked on the project like it was the most important thing in our lives for 2-3 months.

Back to today. I wanted to make a chess website, just something simple where you could login and play a game with other users. Mostly so my dad and I could play without being in the same room. I wrote a simple web-based chess engine, got about 75% of the way to what I would consider a 'completed' project. Then I went to chess.com.

Now, I wasn't planning on making something even close to that. No chat rooms, blogs, rankings...but seeing all the features on the site just sucked every last drop of motiviation I had. It didn't help that my current site was basically playable and didn't need much more work. But from that point one, every time I opened my project it just felt so futile.

I know that products evolve over time, and whatever Chess.com looked like in it's first revision probably wasn't anything special. But it's like I knew that I would never even want to take it to that level, so I just lost every drop of motiviation I had at that point.
Another similar job: frost protection of vineyards using helicopters. It is used in conditions of thermal inversion (colder air near the ground, warmer air in the upper layer), in those conditions the rotor downwash raises the temperature near the ground. More info:

>Not widely publicized is that 5G cellular is going to eliminate one of the primary data inputs that have made weather prediction successful.

When you say 5G, do you mean actual 5G in general or are you talking about mmWave (FR2, sometimes called 5G high band vs low band)? It's been frustrating having these things get mixed up, because the 5G standard has a lot of improvements aimed at more efficient spectrum utilization, further reduced latency, and other changes across a unified massive range of frequencies compared to previous standards. It should be quite useful therefore for existing spectrum as well, just as WiFi 6 brings improvements to 2.4 GHz utilization. T-Mobile for example has said its initial plans for 5G include using its 600 MHz spectrum, with mid-band and mmWave going to certain urban areas.

For whatever reason though most media and even tech people often incorrectly use 5G interchangeably with mmWave, and since 5G itself has plenty of changes it's not always clear what aspects someone is worried about. I assume in this case it's specific frequency blocks of mmWave that would be the interference concern, but I honestly don't know enough about the weather sources to be sure of that vs some other change to modulation causing more out of band interference or something like that.

The sentence goes on, saying unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon which might apply here.
Once upon a time our team was starting a new project and there were several Senior Engineers including myself working with an offshore team. One of the other Senior Engineers took a very assertive stance as the project got started and was suddenly telling people what to do, assigning work, and generally acting bossy. I asked him to come into a conference room to talk and I told him that I felt frustrated by his sudden assumption that he was in charge of the technical work when the team's previous pattern had been to share technical decisions and apportion work collaboratively.
He responded by saying that our management had actually told him that he was being tapped to serve as the Tech Lead for the project. Our craven management had somehow neglected to inform the other members of the team of the decision. I was so shocked by the dysfunction of that decision that I could only sputter something along the lines of "they should have told us that" and then the conversation ended.
Oh the joys of corporate culture!
Tell HN: Hours left to protest ICANN's plan to uncap prices of legacy TLDs
Starting with .org, .info, and .biz, ICANN is planning to eliminate
the 10% annual cap on increases of prices that TLD registry operators
can charge for domains, both new and renewals. These TLD registries
have a monopoly on the entire TLD (they're who your registrar buys
the domain from when you order it), so you can't just switch to a
cheaper company without throwing out your entire domain and starting
over from scratch on a new one. Large companies may be able to
withstand large jumps in prices, but small businesses and individuals
will bear the brunt of any increases that occur, increasing the
already considerable centralization of the Internet. PIR (who runs
.org) already makes $90 million annually from registrations, in
exchange for maintaining a database and running some DNS servers.

ICANN is currently holding a public comment period, which closes today
at 23:59 UTC for .info and .org, and May 14 for .biz. Read the
proposals and submit comments here:

Just curios if this would function as a replacement for sftp uploads. I assume it would need to be put behind our own authentication and https certs. Sftp is very scriptable, but seems hard to explain to many users.

It would be nice if this can function as a point and click upload point and also a scriptable upload point for savvier users.
I just skimmed the paper since I should really get to bed, but:

> We do not guarantee that all dereferences to deleted objects will throw an exception.

What happens in the case where the dereference doesn’t throw an exception? Execution proceeds as if the dangling pointer pointed to the “zombie” object?
I successfully used fdupes and findimagedupes (both commandline tools) for that purpose. I moved my photos Mac library to shotwell (LINUX).

I don't see a lot of negativity towards India on HN. Many people here are just anti-authoritarian, which hacker community has been from the beginning.

It's not illegal to be a prostitute. They're not criminals. How can someone be so ignorant? Blows my mind.
Like music, the internet supplied the dream of ridding us of the expensive middle man, instead, it was the dawn of the middle man. In time, software gets easier, and I'm still optimistic that the middle man will disappear and we will get very large, cheap distributed systems, with payments, that will allow peer to peer. Mix in UBI and the future will be bright, I mean, except for a couple of revolutions along the way.
From the other news on the front page, scanning the former should now give you the latter as well :)

The Non-Technical Challenges of Rewrites
No one in America needs a new standard either. Literally no piece of gear I own has usb-c, except for one on my laptop which is not the primary charging port and I do not ever use (due to the traditional lineup of ports being available).

I get switching can be a pain, but most people (the people regulation is crafted to cover) do not upgrade on the schedule of many tech enthusiasts. Consumers are also keeping devices progressively longer as time goes by.

I'm still happy with micro-usb, usb-a, hdmi, etc. for now. People do not switch out devices all at once, and it seems that forcing them to do so would create waste.

Lastly, how do they enforce it? Any one can go on amazon.com and buy a non-standard charger and a plug adapter, right? I would imagine those who do want things like quick charge would just buy the stuff.
> Do they think that they’ll get enough new contributors this way to offset the (more than slight) irony?

Absolutely yes. In another thread, someone mentioned that MediaGoblin is basically dead now. I went to look at their repo and it's hosted on Savannah. That definitely hurts involvement.

You GP most likely searches WebMD... general practitioners and internal medicine is pretty much knowing what to search for no human can have all that knowledge in their head readily accessible.

One of my passions is restoring, upgrading and modifying old computers and games consoles. I'm very active on IG sharing pictures of my work - and they're generally not very good pictures! I couldn't care less about likes and followers (I have about 700 followers and my posts typically get less than 100 likes) but I have met a lot of likeminded people on there, bounced ideas off of each other and had lots of inspiration for future projects.

My posts have even lead to the odd DM conversation with a minor industry "celebrity" or two - Id Software's John Romero and the British tech journalist Jason Bradbury being two recent examples off the top of my head.

I suppose I just wanted to share an example of the platform being used for something other than shameless vanity. It's nice to know that I'm not alone in my weird hobby and there are plenty of others out there. Of course a forum might be a better place to discuss these things, but Instagram is very quick and easy.

That said, even in the retro tech circles there are the girls whose feeds are endless poses with their boobs hanging out holding an N64 controller and somehow have millions of followers...

The Startups Born of Flint’s Water Crisis
You can either view it as a learning experience, to handle with him and this situation... or something very bad, such as, it is his fault for being like this and there is nothing you can do. I would rather use the first option.

If all other factors properly calculated, the current job position is worth it, keep it, take it as a learning experience... otherwise leave.

But beware. Companies and people are complex, it is part of your job to deal with situations as above. If you always run away from problems like this, you won't improve and grow.

Also, don't have the expectations that you will manage to fix this problem tomorrow by some magic comment from HN. The only person that can: 1. handle this, 2. fix this. Is you. Maybe read books on communication and people problems. But the final attitude comes from you. Take responsibility for it.

And this might take time. But once you manage to handle this situation, you will have grown. I'm sure.

Also a side note: it could be that he's good, but you don't like him for some weird reason. I've seen much more developers fighting over this way. Most of people nowadays have a great deal of problem of dealing with authority and try to bend the universe in their head to make sure that they are the victim of the senior+friend from manager.
