Also not a blog, but I run a free mentoring service for managers. Mostly meet with folks from HN and Twitter, and I do daily sessions.

While there are tons of great resources out there, one thing to keep in mind is that general advice is often bad advice, when it comes to teams and people management. Be careful about over-correcting for certain advice that on the surface seems helpful, but misapplied to the wrong context is detrimental.

One example is that a lot of the people I talk to have been attempting to apply Radical Candor to their culture, with fairly mixed results. There's a lot to love about the intent of RC, as an example, but misapplied to the wrong personality types can be disastrous, demoralizing, and counterproductive to the receiver.

I'd highly recommend as you try to level up any management skills, you talk to someone who has attempted to put something into practice and get a sense for the failure modes. This might help you adapt it to your culture and team so that the downsides are mitigated and the upsides are still there.

Hope that's helpful!
I'm not a huge Nirvana fan, but I agree. The band ended before it realized its full potential and I think In Utero was a small taste of where they were headed. Heart Shaped Box is so much better than their earlier hits (which are by no means bad)that I never even bother to listen to their older music anymore.

> That's not how TB3 works though.

I don't believe that's how TB3 works, either. I might be mistaken or out of date, but I've looked. At any price I haven't seen an actual TB3 hub that gives you more ports than you start with. The ones that do aren't TB3, they're extra power-only or USB-only USB-C ports. Everything I've seen is just a passthrough TB3 port with additional accessories that are generally USB or HDMI tunneled through.

> Lots of reports of audio issues on USB C Macs when using external dongles, for example.

If you're talking about audio production...that tends to go with everything computer related for 30+ years. Which port you plug in, the brand of cable you use, the minor software release--all are potential problems. Everyone tends to have a unique setup, too.
This is obviously the right thing.

Still, I can't help lamenting it. There was something delightfully baroque about knowing that the kilogram was in a vault in France. I'm going to miss it.
This is huge, but subtle. For the first time, the SI units are no longer relying on unit prototypes that can only be copied. Given the new definition of the SI units, decent enough lab equipment and enough time, any lab can now theoretically manufacture its own references to arbitrary precision, no matter where they are in the known universe. There is no longer an insurmountable limited incurred by the precision of the local copies of these references.
There must be a better format than conference talks. They are a significant commitment for both the presenter and the audience. Both must make the choice to attend before knowing details of the content, and it reaches a relatively small audience.

I'd much rather see a format where talks can be viewed or subscribed to individually, rated, and open to feedback/discussion.

It's your opinion, not place I'd say. Minority rights cannot be ethically eliminated by a majority vote.

To be honest, while I care about privacy in general, am not concerned about every little datum myself. In a healthy reality companies and governments would give us lots of options and control, let us opt-in. But that never happens does it? They'd prefer you'd not even be aware it's happening. Only when shamed in the media does a company even attempt to provide the appearance of options.

Why do you think that is? Because they sell your information, that's why.

If it weren't that fact I wouldn't be so hardline on the subject. But, it's the reality we live in.

> "The change also means that the constants on which the new definitions rely — the charge of the electron for the ampere, Avogadro’s constant for the mole, Boltzmann’s constant for the kelvin and Planck’s constant for the kilogram — are from today fixed values with zero uncertainty."

Does anyone know what that last paragraph means? Why would defining new constants in terms of existing ones make the existing ones have zero uncertainty?
So this is like self-moderation? Where did the idea come from?

> Just remember that technical debt doesn't apply to all software.

I'm not following. You still need code that could be rewritten and deleted every few years. Any code that couldn't just be deleted as needed wouldn't fit that plan.

So whatever forced code to outlive its welcome is technical debt in that scenario. Examples could be code that used outdated middleware, maintained arcane ETLs to keep data accurate, consumed said data in unconventional ways, code that wasn't repackaged and deployed regularly, etc.

The omission of Hip Hop is rather startling from today's perspective (and even for the time). Having only a single rock album, on the other hand (and no Metal), might look prescient today.
>If Jobs had the same insight into music as he had into tech, we'd see way more hip hop, electronic.

You can be on the cutting edge of music without liking hip hop or electronic music. The problems wasn't the genres he picked, but the incredibly generic band choices within those genres.

I do like hip hop (and electronic is slowly growing on me), but that doesn't mean that everyone that doesn't is out of touch. There's interesting music coming out of nearly every genre in 2019. That's the way it always is.
All is vagueness. It’s popular! Why bother with evidence when agencies / governments / media can simply make vague statements about threats & security? Oh & of course we can’t supply evidence because that would threaten our security also. Circulus In probando
A 'computer' was a predominantly female job role until.. I don't know, but some time post-war when we got bored of saying 'automatic computer' to describe the increasingly dominant method of computation.

Any issues with that model? I'm thinking of doing a similar switch but I really don't want to be fighting driver and compatibility issues.
The concept for 'imho' came about two years ago when I was watching a celebrity interview, where the difficulty of staying grounded when living within a ‘hollywood bubble’ was posed by the interviewer. This was the spark for the idea behind 'imho', where it was recognised that many users on social networks exist in something of an ‘echo chamber’ or ‘social media bubble’ of their own with objective feedback rarely received on posts. We all have friends who ‘overshare’ on Facebook, or those who post deliberately cryptic posts ‘vaguebooking’ with the aim of inviting friends to ask what’s going on. Facebook users will get plenty of feedback on positive, funny or cute posts and pictures, but much less so for negative or offensive posts, and rarely is it objective feedback. On Twitter, the median number of followers for an average user is much less than one hundred, and with the ability to block or silence, most posts will get little or no feedback more often than not.
The imho app is designed to be a lighthearted way to get objective feedback on your social networking posts outside of your usual friend circle. You can get feedback on things you've already posted to Facebook or Twitter, or write posts natively within the app with the aim of getting feedback before you post to a social network. It's a bit like quick and dirty market research, where the products being tested are your (very) public, and permanent broadcasts to the world.

Ask HN: Going for my first eng manager interview – advice/expectations?
Hi,

So I've been an eng manager before, but I got given the responsibilities over time. For the first time, I'm about to be interviewed as an engineering manager at a medium-size public Silicon Valley tech company.

Having rarely interviewed and never hired an eng manager, I'm not 100% sure how to prepare or exactly what qualities will be being searched for (I know what I would value in an eng manager, and I think that's a decent guideline, but it's only one data point).

Can anyone share their experiences, either of hiring eng managers or being the hired eng manager? I'm looking for both strategic advice (big picture what should I try to emphasize and convey) and tactical advice (what are your go-to questions to ask prospective eng managers, what does the interview slate usually look like, etc.).

Thanks!
it will go doubly up, for the drivers working when they say so. eventually it will starve the others.

it's not like they need to actually be profitable at any point...
They sure liked repeating "secure encrypted infrastructure".

I was a little confused about the timeline of this as they mentioned implementing some functionality back in 2005. If I understand this right the specific issue of storing some (unsure as to what percentage or quantity) users passwords unhashed:

- started in January of this year
- is now fixed
- were stored for up to 14 days in this state
- would only effect new years signing up (based on it being part of the signup flow)

Do I understand that right?
Given that you were working on Silverlight, his decision to stop you spending more time on it was remarkably prescient.

It should have been communicated earlier though, so you wouldn't have wasted weeks on soon-to-be dead tech.
It is defined in terms of the Planck constant. Now if that constant is not actually constant over time or space, the definition would be in trouble.

For example, it is unclear whether the Hubble constant is, in fact, constant over time. Different measurements give different values for different time periods in the past and these have yet to be reconciled.
I used this when travelling in Cuba, where you can only get internet via government Wifi spots with expensive and hard to find prepaid cards.

While it's true that most people go to sports club for sports as their main purpose but it also open up opportunity to form friendship.
When I got my 2017 MBP and was comparing PCs I either wanted Magsafe-like or USB-c (Surface is magsafe-like). I ended up with a Macbook Pro. Late one night a few months after getting it I forgot a charger and ran to Target, then Wal-Mart looking for a USB-C charger and everything was still proprietary chargers. Maybe one of the display units had USB-C charging, but they didn't sell standalone chargers. USB-C had been around at least since 2015 so I didn't think I was that early of an adopter...

At least this seems to have changed a bit. Like you said, it's so nice to charge non-Apple headphones or my Switch without hunting for extra cables.
Special treatment != Encouragement.
This is basically life in general. We often don’t know if an outcome is going to be worth it, so we either take chances or do nothing reasoning that it probably would have been a waste of time.

One of those approaches is guaranteed to never get anything.
Mandatory computer-control will happen when a critical threshold of traffic is already operating that way, and risk/liability will make the restriction inevitable.

That's a really good point, and well spotted. I'm amazed I hadn't noticed that being a fan of NWA et-al from that era.

[edit]

Upon further thought, I'm also wondering if there may have been objections from certain artists and/or they couldn't get contractual releases for this purpose - up until then I guess the rights were for CD/Tape/Vinyl/SACD etc, digital music may have been viewed with suspicion by some bands - e.g. Metallica. Just a thought.
The American consortium of chip makers is closing down their communication with anyone Huawei. I'm not sure how much was being collaborated on there as I am only just picking up on all of this. However, this is certainly starting to get really heated.

I am sure we will hear much more from the leaders of these American businesses on how they are responding to the embargo when they have to talk to their shareholders so that should be another interesting tidbit.
If only there was a way to trace the transactions and reverse them. Sadly, the "future of banking" is all immutable ledgers with zero recourse so the money is gone. If this were a real bank he'd have his money back right quick.

My interpretation was that unhashed passwords were stored for all users whose passwords were manually set by an administrator, from 2005 until some time very recently.
My god.

Problems with sleep/resume were what ultimately convinced me to switch from Linux to Mac 12 years ago. It's insane to see there are still issues with it today.
Yeah. Trelawney is more recognisable but doesn't have the same catch.

I use Authenticator Plus (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mufri.auth...) which has encrypted cloud backup (Google Drive or Dropbox). The encryption is done client-side. When I get a new phone, all I do is set up A+'s cloud sync on the new phone, enter the passphrase I've used previously, and it syncs all my TOTP codes.

As a bonus, the backup is just an encrypted sqlite DB (with dirt-simple schema), so you're not tied to some inscrutable proprietary format, and can easily extract the tokens if you want to use a different app/service.
Not really though. Human drivers both crash and avoid crashes all the time. In the instances where a fatal crash happens, there is a party at fault and they are held liable under the law. The same logic applies here. If the software caused the crash by being imperfect, then Tesla is liable. It is doubly bad if Tesla caused more people to rely on the software in a perilous manner by overstating the software's safety/feature-completeness. We could argue all day about an ideal future where no human drivers or accidents exist and how we get there, but today Tesla has blood on its hands.
As long as data is private, I don't think so. Although, it is pointless to discuss that since keeping passwords in plaintext is, well, :)
To what the others said, the particular mask type can matter a lot.

In my case, I fought with it for years...I just had to keep at it, until finally I started leaving it on.

And yet if he'd kept it on his own machine there's myriad other vectors from compromised wallets to typos that would separate even the veteran "investor" from their crypto. And we'd be blaming him again, just as you are now, because in the land of Crypto anything bad that happens is your fault, not the insanely problematic technology. This is the fundamental problem with crypto, it's irreversible and decentralized. These aren't features, they're bugs.

If this were real money or real assets, he'd be able to call his bank and be made whole by the close of business, I wager. Instead he's out a down-payment, SFYL.

Can't you right click on the site, click "View Page Info", go to permissions, and give the site the permission to run Adobe Flash?

I'm assuming this setting still works, but I kind of doubt there are too many people who install and test it these days. I don't think I've encountered a site that requires flash in years.

Personal data is anything that can be linked to your person in the context of the GDPR. Doesn’t matter if they store your IP or the movements of your mousepointer or your user agent, it is all personal data, unless they store it in a way that can’t link back to you (e.g. just counting the number of useragents of each kind).

And the author is right. There is with high certainty a lot of data about you that you didn’t explicitly upload and I don’t see why facebook shouldn’t give it to him.

I see why they don’t want to give it to him (because it would show the extent of their data collection), but exactly for that reason it is even more important that they comply.
Thanks. I've been looking for something like that off and on for the better part of 10 years.

Their reputation notwithstanding, it makes little difference if all they are doing is taking notes or passing along statements, rather than digging & getting answers. That’s the forgotten duty of true reportage & journalism.

They don’t get a free pass as a “trustworthy news organisation” just because what they report isn’t wrong, if they also aren’t reporting anything useful.
My domain of 800+ users had one unhashed user. It was an account I created for testing something then suspended over two years ago. It never completed the first logon. I have many newer users that have not completed a first logon, yet their passwords are (apparently) hashed.

They said users created through admin console are affected. The might explain my nearly zero count. I've used GAM to automate creation for a very long time. We are a high school school so we churn about 1/4 of our user count every year.
I left the comment simply because a mention of the role that the church has played here historically seemed conspicuously absent. The only explanation I have for the response is that it was the first comment. However, if you read through the replies, it does seem that some have a similar perspective to mine on what could be learned from the church in how to solve this problem.

For the other part of your question...i’ll proxy spinning a globe and poking it with this: Wikipedia tells me that Elopteryx was discovered in Romania near Transylvania.

I can't find any churches with websites in Transylvania proper, so I looked for ones in Transylvania County, North Carolina.

Looks like the Brevard Community Church is one of the larger ones. They handily have a website, and their events calendar is here: https://brevardcommunity.org/events/

Take a look at it. There's something going on almost every night of the month.

Now imagine yourself a 78 year old widow that lives alone in town with kids grown and moved out of state. You could endlessly surf the internet looking for opportunities to volunteer at random organizations and events that happen throughout the year, or you could just align yourself with this one organization and get a flower for mother's day every year, a young mother or two to mentor and a steady stream of vetted and coordinated opportunities for you to engage with the community and others.
Wow, TIL that strong passwords are actually a part of GDPR (I was aware of the policies around deleting data, being clear about the data that you're storing, but not about passwords).

That's actually great that industry standards are being codified with actual deterrents for failing to strongly store secure passwords.

> If passwords are being used, they should not be accessible and should be securely stored to avoid them being visible to unauthorized individuals. Some sort of standard such as encryption or an equivalent should be used to protect the passwords.

The constants on which the SI units rely have been assigned fixed numerical values by definition. This is so that you can now build a certain type of experiment and calibrate it so that it measures this defined numerical value for that constant. And in doing the calibration, you actually produce a reference for an SI unit.

There's a boatload of data showing that the most critical element of effective psychotherapy is the "therapeutic alliance." While this is a somewhat squishy term, it's broadly linked to the importance of compassion and relationships. For that reason, simply trying to replace a human with a robot faces huge challenges.

But that's the least creative possible solution. I think there are all kinds of behavioral interventions that are difficult or impossible for a human to do that we haven't tried yet. Almost certainly there are lots of them that would work well and would be better delivered by a bot.
