But the _really hard_ question, which never seems to be answered in a way people will agree on, is how one measures "performance."

6 months ago I rewrote the entire frontend of a product, generating thousands of LOC a month.

6 months before that I was in GDPR-hell, entirely performing compliance, audit, and data management tasks. Almost 0 LOC, large portions of meetings/discussions/reading docs.

Now I'm mentoring engineers, ramping up new hires, overseeing ops infra development, writing "some" code but mostly producing artifacts, reviewing specs/PRs, and sitting in meetings.

Where was I most productive? How do I even measure that with a consistent set of KPIs? Even if we roll up to the team level, I'd ask the same question, given the volatility that can be present even in "user visible velocity" (and I shouldn't need to mention that "user visible velocity" is just one dimension of progress, and backing off to a meta-indicator like "story points" introduces its own problems in terms of estimation accuracy, black box tasks, scope creep, etc.)

Vaadin started as a set of GWT component library, Eclipse extensions and GUI editor.
I've been building Angular apps for 3 years now, and all projects I've built have had a "relatively light" frontend, meaning little to no business logic there.

Angular as a framework doesn't prevent you from doing anything on the backend. It's all about the re-usable components imo.

Virtually zero, because almost all student loan debt is already held by the Department of Education. There is no "loan market" to speak of.

All of it does. It’s clearly a response to recent complaints.
> lots of code can be written in a bad language

That's actually the problem. Bad languages require reading and writing too much repetitive code, just to replace missing abstractions.
1. The OpenSSL API hasn't changed, and if Apple changed it on their own that would break more things

2. The issue the author complained about was `openssl --help` not working, and it doesn't work on any platform (because he got the command wrong). `openssl help` does work on OSX (I literally just tested it).

3. Yeah, that's the one issue we agree is an Apple issue.

4. Apple didn't make LibreSSL. Other systems besides Apple use LibreSSL, and the authors complaints about their lack of documentation are relevant regardless of what Apple does.

As you said, there's literally no formal process for retail investors to communicate to the funds.

This startup organizes retail shareholders to use their rights via petition, e.g. https://www.yourstake.org/ask/vanguard-demand-companies-disc... .

So as a verified shareholder, you can signal your support for various issues, and the startup then arranges a meeting with the fund managers if enough people support the idea.

This is truly unfortunate and I hope Apple resolves this. Happy Scale is a fantastic product and it would be a shame to see the developer have to give this up full time.
No. The OP posted a list of items, all of which need to be taken as a whole for a complete argument. The CP cherry picked one item to skew the discussion to their argument.

If we’re talking only about speed, then why not always eat McDonalds? Or Soylent? Clearly it’s because there are other facets of the point being made other than speed alone.
This is great! I'm not in the market but I may attend anyway to see how it goes down.

Hmm... I see your point. There is always the confusion between ActiveRecord the software and "Active Record" the pattern. It's really the latter that I dislike. I've used AR-the-software to build my own relational object mapping with scopes and enjoyed it quite a lot. But there was lots of SQL in that code :-)

Absolutely, yea. That would help quite a bit - or even a "Last verified" date.
As the site mentions elsewhere, they have a relatively power-hungry fiber router that needs a constant 10W, currently still running on the grid. In that sense, the website isn't entirely solar-powered. This seems to be the state of things going into the future--computation may get more efficient, but pushing signals to far-away distances will always take more power!

Here is something about the Amadeus play and movie that this author, like so many others, does not seem to get: the entire plot is based on the illusions of a madman. Did the author missed the part at the beginning where the character Salieri slashes his own throat and is then put in a madhouse? Every account about Mozart and everyone else in the movie/play is the version of some nut who is clearly out of his mind. "Amadeus" was never meant to be a historical biography.

And mechanics all over the world must buy BMW tools if they want to work on BMWs for people that own BMWs. Nobody is preventing anyone from working on cars, just BMWs. And the reason is that when you get BMW service, you expect BMW standards. Don’t work on BMWs if you don’t want to pay for the tools.
> If I sell paper cups to Walmart they will take a 12-17% cut for “entitlements”. I can’t compete with the white label house brand on price that doesn’t have those entitlements.

The store is obviously going to make a margin to pay for the costs of operating the store. The store brand can't avoid those costs by being in-house because it still needs shelf space and stock clerks etc.

This is different than with Apple because it's actually plausible that it costs "12-17%" to have a physical store with physical goods in it, but a 30% margin for online distribution is just blatant monopoly rent. Which comes from the fact that other stores compete with Walmart in retailing paper cups but Apple prohibits anybody from competing with them in retailing iOS apps.

> This is why when you go into pretty much any grocery, electronics, automotive or whatever store the house brand is always at least a dollar cheaper.

The house brand is cheaper because it has less brand recognition, which in turn is because it has less expense in building a brand through advertising and long-term quality control. This is why, despite the products often being completely identical, many people will pay more for the one they're familiar with and not have to take the chance that the store brand isn't as good (even if it usually is).
I used them at my financial services software company. They've made it through to our client's test environments, but as they're a large financial company things move very slowly and they're not in production yet.

We wanted to ensure our APIs were backwards compatible and we felt like the best way to ensure that would be by making them contract led. This also means that we can design our APIs and write the spec files and get feedback without having to implement anything.

So our APIs are defined by the swagger spec files.

The open API generator was perfect for this as it meant we could write our spec files, and then generate interfaces for our spring boot application based on the swagger spec files.

Then to implement the API all we need to do is implement the interfaces that the open API generator generated for us.

The generator is very flexible (the mustache files allow you to modify what gets generated) and the community - particularly wing328hk were very helpful.

We submitted a number of pull requests with changes that helped make things a bit smoother for us, and require less custom configuration of the generator. The development community was very active and happy to provide feedback and accept our pull requests.

All in all I would definitely recommend a contract led approach (and the open API generator) for developing RESTful APIs.
>It seems the electric trim switches (on the control column) override the MCAS commands.

...but not if you follow the procedure set out by Boeing and reiterated in an FAR published after the Lion Air crash. The ET302 pilots recognized that they were dealing with MCAS failure, and followed the procedure, including toggling the trim cutout switches. On 737 NGs, one could turn off trim automation while allowing electrical control from the yoke, but on the Max, the latter was also disabled when these switches were toggled [1]. I don't think this way in which the Max differs from the NG came out until later.

This created a second problem - the trim wheels are very hard to turn manually under the load created by using the elevator to counteract the mis-trim. The procedure in this case is to unload the stabilizer jack-screw by pitching down, but the airplane was not high enough for that.

This might have been apparent if pilots had trained for an MCAS failure, which brings us to a question I had in another thread: Were there any simulators that realistically simulated MCAS failure, or were the simulator manufacturers and operators as much in the dark about MCAS as were pilots and airlines?

This is how email was intended to work, but anti spam measures now prevent "any normal user's device" from originating a message. To deliver a message you would need to find a trusted relay to add legitimacy flags to the message, or you need a trusting recipient with a friendly network path between you so a plain message would not be blocked.
I think they just picked four apps in the same category, not necessarily they ones they thought were the strongest competition.
This is an opinion piece with a red hot flamebait title and a buried lede. Surely there's a better way to start this conversation on HN.
I accept part of what you're saying, which I believe is that the Laurentide melt was probably happening anyways, with the associated effects on the AMOC. Glacial oscillation are their own cycle, clearly.

But the YD impact scenario hardly seems irrelevant to the YD. I'm curious what other impacts you're aware of that you deem irrelevant.

The best candidate I'm aware of for the YD impact would possibly/probably be related to the Hiawatha crater [1], which is 31km after likely boring through a km or so of ice. This puts it amongst the largest impacts on Earth, e.g. since back to the Chesapeake/Siberian impact around 35mya, (if not beyond after the ice impact is taken into account, e.g. to Chicxulub) [2]. It's not solidly dated yet, but according to the authors the evidence at the site is consistent with an impact during the Pleistocene, and they even say it may still be hot, despite being packed in ice!

If we're talking about the same event, with evidence across 24-53 sites on 4 continents that includes continent-wide fires, impact winter and floral and megafaunal extinction, then I'd be hard-pressed to see how this doesn't have to do with the main climate change event of that period; that's the definition of what makes the YD significant: the drastic floral changes (e.g. of Dryas octopetala) at the boundary. The impact seems a more likely candidate cause for the abrupt global changes.

Or put another way, I think the question is back to you of how changes in the AMOC during the YD somehow caused the characteristic extinctions and charcoal residue observed in southern Chile at the YDB.

The contemporaneous, global inferno and impact winter going seems too much to chalk up to coincidence. That's where I see the parsimony breakdown for a simple Laurentide melting/AMOC change being responsible for the YDB.

It would be a much more accurate article if instead of "climate science" it said "climate change prediction and mitigation."
Bay Area of 1970 was less segregated than it was in 2010
The biggest issue we're going to have is that at some point someone else will be in charge, and the science will resume, but there will be a big hole in the data, because this current administration is no longer funding the collection of critical data for climate models. We won't even really feel the effects of this for probably a decade or more, when the models finally see the effects of the lack of data.
Agree wholeheartedly.

Even if you are a social butterfly, use your head. That place has decided that they need ID scanners. Just imagine the things that have happened that made that necessary.

Same thing happens with Hydro plants, except immediately.
Wow. I literally use this App every single day. I think it was $5 and I have gotten enormous value from it for 3+ years.

Sad that what is probably a random glitch on Apple's part can just kill a person's livelihood overnight.

I used to be a full time iOS contractor but have moved away from it in the last couple of years. Dealing with this kind of junk is one of the main reasons why. I have lots of similarly frustrating stories from my clients.

They answered that above, did they not?

> ProtonMail does not voluntarily offer assistance. We only do so when ordered by a Swiss court or prosecutor, as we are obligated to follow the law in criminal cases.

Yes, if ordered by a court - but not voluntarily, which is the claim of the article, italicized, with exclamation points, repeated several times, etc.
It's super depressing to see the acceleration of coal energy in 2000. Despite the rise of renewables, they haven't even been able to keep up with the rise of coal!

And the vast majority of it comes from energy production! Electric cars don't solve the problem if we are switching from high-efficiency gas engines to coal-fired electric.
Who is not collecting data?
>the people pushing the green new deal are doomsday Sayers predicting "crisis" in 12 years.

They are saying we have 12 years to drastically reduce carbon emissions. If we don't the results of which will be seen in the following decades. I would expect NASA would agree with this just like every other reputable scientific organization.

How to Move from Honeynets to “Deception Networks”
This is a follow up article to Dr. Stephenson's introduction of the Deception Network a next generation security stack that lets you alert on potential malicious activity while protecting your enterprise and capturing forensic evidence at the same time.

https://mixmode.ai/blog/sc-magazine-beefing-up-your-next-generation-security-tool-set

He describes a Deception Network as the following:

"The idea behind a deception network is to allow the malcode’s emergent process to continue, monitor, analyze forensically and document it, while doing all of this without endangering the production network of the target. There are several ways to do that and each one has its proponents.

The oldest method is the honeypot or collections of honeypots called honeynets. These rather primitive tools lure the attacker into something that looks like a real network and then analyze the attacker’s behavior. The problem here is that most attackers have mechanisms to detect the presence of honeynets and avoid them.

Another method is to embed the deception network in the production network and lure the attacker into the deception network by making it indistinguishable from the production network while protecting the production network should the attack find his way in.

The third method is to overlay the deception network on the production network such that the attacker believes he is in a legitimate device – and, in a sense he is – and allow the attacker to attempt compromise with the deception network collecting data about the attack and guiding the attacker away from the production system into a safe /dev/nul environment."

Both Thunderbird and Outlook have plugins for PGP and S/MIME. You can use them to read/send mail from Gmail and Yahoo domains as well.

Edit:

If you're using them for an organization that uses Exchange/O365, the admin would need to make sure IMAP/POP protocols are enabled over TLS/STARTTLS, as opposed to using EAS. However, if you're dealing with mail in an organization, you're probably not using your own encryption keys to being with.

A lot of these entries are probably better handled with improved feedback than changed behavior. If you can tell whether the user meant 'either' or 'Oregon', that's great, but spending a week on the problem is a lot less urgent than just displaying "including results for Oregon".

Does Google have some kind of cultural allergy to special-casing or writing fallback rules around its recommendation systems? I ask because Chrome's spellcheck still lacks a lot of words that you can find in an abridged dictionary; it seems as though fallback rules like "the first hit needs at least one keyword match" or "never flag words found in Merriam-Webster as unknown" are basically never employed.
I (thankfully) don't have to use Salesforce very often. But from my experience, the Lightning Experience always felt non-performant compared to the traditional server-rendered pages. Things always took a noticeable amount of time to finish loading. Even though the traditional interface is, by appearance alone, quite traditional, as least it felt fast. I don't know if Lightning's problems were with poor performing front end code, or poor API performance. But I was always underwhelmed when testing the SPA version of Salesforce.

It's horribly unpopular to pick on the dead pilots, particularly when it looks like you're sticking up for a big evil corporation, but sadly you're very likely correct. In both cases, the pilots didn't strictly follow procedure. In the Lion Air case, they forgot about the stab trim completely for some reason. This had happened on the previous flight too; it was only saved because a 3rd (non-Lion Air) pilot happened to be in the cockpit and told them what to do. In the Ethiopian Air example, they remembered, shut off the stab trim, but then increased thrust too high to adjust the trim manually, and then turned the electric trim system back on. It's possible they could have saved the plane at that point, adjusting the electric trim by hand then turning it back off (to defeat MCAS), but they didn't.

It remains crazy how much this procedure would have required the pilots to do. It's utterly senseless how bad cockpit automation remains in 2019. If Boeing was going to add a bunch of code to the cockpit, they should have made flying the plane in an emergency easier, not harder.
