Indeed it was more like Twitter. Yet it was better than Twitter because it didn't have the severe post length limit and it would let you create channels (both private and open) for specific selection of people you invite to discuss a particular subject.
> I find audiobooks are a better medium for consuming fiction. By doing so, you also save your time.

There should be a YMMV attached to this sentence because it's certainly not the case for me. The best that I get and retain comprehensibility of audio is 1.75x speed and that's still a lot slower than I can read the same text. Maybe the author meant that it saves time because you can do it in the car, whilst jogging/walking-dog, cleaning the house, etc. But in that case it's running on a background process (or at best time-sharing) which thwarts comprehensibility. YMMV
Agreed. However the trade in shark fins is very profitable and leads to excesses and unspeakable cruelty. Just search for "sharks cut off fins" in your favourite video site. Warning: the search results are graphic.
If you think this is bad, search how to factory reset a Philips hue bulb.
That's not where all its success came from. That's the one downfall the article got right. It was successful before that. Trying to shoehorn a bunch of people who didn't want to use it into using it was the mistake. It was doing just fine before that and it would have continued to grow organically. It was never going to be a Facebook replacement though. It was better than that.

I don't know anyone who took out a loan for a wedding. But I do know a woman, and there must be more of them out there, who took out a loan to pay a lawyer for a divorce. She said she thought it was a good idea, because the amount that she got in the settlement, was more than the amount of the loan. Even when the lawyers took their portion of the settlement too, she figured she was coming out ahead.

It only occurred to her later that the settlement was a one time thing, but the loan she had to pay interest on. I'm pretty sure her ex had done the same thing, because they both talk to us about those payments. So essentially, these two completely destroyed their marital wealth just to get lawyers.

I don't know man? I think it'd be worth just sitting down together and working something out, but I guess a lot of people don't think that way.

But here's the kicker that occurred to me reading this article, just imagine the people that take out loans for the wedding, and the divorce.

Ouch.
the point is that it won't be a voluntary thing like a political move that will wipe them out economically

You probably meant "consume mango juice" :)
That impression is wrong. 9900k clocks higher by default and usually overclocks a little higher aswell. Thus it's also single- thread king.
If their backups are being placed somewhere like S3 they should have a stand alone server that simply copies daily backups from the S3 bucket the network has access to, over to another S3 bucket that only the backup managing app has access to.

I expect they are allowing their backup app to have read write access to manage cleaning up removing backups but just giving it write only access from the network would work too. And using a standalone server/app to manage the backups.

I'd still copy over a backup to a stand alone bucket not accessible by the network for something this critical.
Maybe the idea is to be strictly descriptivist? The way people actually pronounce the word _is_ the correct way. That's why you can listen to multiple examples and see what the common pronunciation is.

That's excellent grounds not to get married at all - at least not to them.

It strongly suggests the other person is more interested in social status signalling through extravagant lifestyle display than in celebrating the partnership for its own sake.

I find that cmd+tab switching beyond 2 or 3 applications is not "superior" as it requires more recall of state than should be necessary. I've started using Alfred more often to switch to specific apps so that it doesn't matter where I'm coming "from" to get where I want to go "to."

I also use Karibiner to switch the capslock key to "escape when pressed once" and "ctrl" when used in combination with any other key. Completely agree that a missing escape key was a stupid design decision.
You are right. This premature release was a mistake. June 22.
Feels like the same people responsible for Mircrosoft's product decisions in the 2000s have now all moved to Google, with a slight twist in strategy.

When a Microsoft product didn't do well they called it something different and relaunched, hoping no-one realised it was the same old thing – e.g. Zune Music/Xbox Music/MSN Music/Groove Music/Microsoft Store etc.

Google now* just kills it and launches something else, sometimes more than one, hoping no-one remembers the still-cooling corpse of the previous attempt. For example, they're now on their ninth attempt [0] at a messaging service with no end in sight.

*Google Now is also dead.

Following the "12 principles" blindly is just as bad as letting your organization be rolled by the "agile industrial complex".

The idea of breaking work up into little chunks is great -- it is in no way contradictory to the ideas in the "Project Management Body of Knowledge" it is just putting them together in a different way.

In fact, those ideas need to be put together in a way that works for a particular organization.

In some cases the most important practice is the reduction of "work in progress", that is, a simple kanban board without a lot of effort into estimates and deadlines. If you have good build and deployment practices you should be able to deploy "whenever the business needs it" and not have to wait for a sprint to finish.

The biggest problem I see is a lack of trust between management and engineering. If that trust is not there it doesn't matter much which management methods you use. With agile you will bring conflicts up quicker, but that just might cause you to burn people out and spin your wheels. If you work on a longer timescale some people might be able to get work done despite the dysfunction.
Which was driven by Netscape, a revenue-driven company.

Complaints about corporations capturing HTML are not new; Google is merely the latest in the line. (That's not to diminish the fact that it's still bad every time. It's just this isn't the first time.)
As an anecdotal example the cost of a pint of beer in London can be 3 to 4 times as expensive as what I'm used to in the South West. For other basic necessities I agree with you however.
And you have to balance your optimism with the fact that your solution will cause lots of old people (who maybe should have downsized 10-15 years ago) to be forced to downsize now and who would then lose the ability to live independently.
That's a very subjective thing. De gustibus et coloribus...
Awesome I'll give that a shot
I like the idea of fiction "as an exploration into a concept".
I've seen a lot of people complain about Cixin Liu's Remembrances of Earth's Past trilogy because of plot holes or unrealistic elements, but I just appreciated the exploring how humanity might respond to an extra terrestrial threat, or what effects future technology, or disastrous climate change might have on human cultures.
Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land and Neal Stephenson's Anathem also come to mind as unique "what if" explorations.
One clip was so intriguing, I had to go back and watch the whole thing, and it was really good:

I'm a native English speaker but this could actually be a very cool discovery tool. I typed in my own (relatively rare) last name and found cool graduations and community organization videos.
I agree their content surfacing / organization was terrible. You couldn’t just find content from Person; hell, you couldn’t find your own. You literally had to google work-arounds on how to find the set of your -own- posts. Talk about alienating people from your product.
I had some difficult conversations with my future spouse. It's not fun to think about money or kids or religion or finances when you are in the honeymoon of your early love.

But it is so important. We talk all the time about company and team alignment, but being aligned with your spouse matters so much more.
Thanks! That sounds exactly like what I need, and I'm already using Karabiner.
That depends.

Putting aside whether they’re Trumpers or card carrying communists, there’s a reason that some kind of Overton window tends to occur: viewpoints aren’t relative, and some viewpoints are wrong (on facts, on outcomes, ie. completely detached from reality). Diversity isn’t productive if we are expected to value dangerous delusions. Valuing off-beat or contrarian ideas, sure. But: I like milk and sugar with my tea, you want to smash capitalism violently for the rise of the proletariat; I think that Education should be free but speech should be censored, you believe in concentration camps, QAnon and pizzagate. This can get silly.
Both you and the post I replied to seem to imply that fiction books without any deeper meaning cannot be good or great.
Yes. The only question left is single thread perf. Over a range of applications. That's what everyone is waiting to see. Part of that will include how well it handles fast memory. Currently intel is in a different league when it comes to that.

Thinkpad keyboards are good. But they have the messed up arrow keys, but unlike apple where the keys are too big, they mixed them with pagup/pgdn

Keyboards are something you never notice unless they arebad. There's nothing amazung about the ThinkPad keyboard but there's nothing super special about it.

I'm typing this on a ThinkPad USB keyboard connected to a Dell computer. Any types are because Lynx doesn't always scroll over when typing in a textbox.
Ask HN: How did you find a CS sub field to focus on and is such focus necessary?
I just graduated college, and have been doing full stack software engineer work since high school. With that prior experience, I landed a nearly 6 figure job at a startup. I like what I do, but I find computer security far more interesting. (We had a security incident which I helped solve, that sparked a sense of meaningful engagement within me). I'm worried that I'll become a jack of all trades, master of none, if I continue to change career paths. How did you figure out what sub-discipline to focus on, and is it poor judgement to continually switch sub fields, as opposed to mastering a sub field then switching?
Marriage is a highly cultural experience but I think those of us without a strong cultural attachment to American traditions are certainly rethinking it. My wife and I skipped the ring, the engagement period, and the wedding and put the money away to save for a down payment. We're still saving (Big city real estate lol) but we agreed that having a home for our future children trumps having a big party that neither of us were crazy about in the first place.
Coming from a rich context switcher from the Linux world, I've found Contexts [0] an absolute requirement for using Mac efficiently, especially in complex window arrangements or workflows that require many open applications or many windows of a specific application.

I too did this ... would not recommend trying to run through the louvre in 1 day. I was kind of "forced" to (only had 1 day and I guess a rare case of FOMO). Spend at least 2-3 days there. It's huge with so much masterpieces. The Mona Lisa was a disappointment.
Ohio wasn't hit so hard by rain as it was in other places yet field after field is left fallow and the old saying knee high by July doesn't seem to be keeping this year. Last year and many others, by July corn could be waist high or higher. 11 days to go and the corn is just a few inches tall.

They are actually partnering up with already existing taxi companies. They are not employing regular people
So similar to IRC. As much as I hate their desktop client, Discord is actually ticking all the right boxes for what I want out of social media. Ironically one of these things: broadcasting specific things to specific groups, is something G+ tried to do. If I see an interesting paper, I don't want to share that on FB and have my grandmother making confused comments. But I do have a discord channel w/ some college friends where something like that is appreciated.

At the same time, most of them aren't gamers, so gaming content is on a different channel. I don't even regularly use discord for their VOIP chat (arguably the reason they caught on), but unfortunately it is just easier to use for non-technical people than IRC.
Lot of areas in north eastern parts of India does not have any big infrastructure and dams for water storage because they heavily relied on water coming from Himalayan glaciers. In future if Indian government does not do big projects to develop water storage it will be a huge problem to sustain big population.
Real names AND the instant account lock with no hope of reversal if your name failed the opaque real name check. I lost access to a gmail account and everything associated with it because g+ didn't like my name. Account totally locked. Gone. Forever.
Honeybees != Native Bees, In US we should be worried about Native Bees. If care of Honeybees spills over into care of Native Bees then that is great. If we instead work to supplant the native populations then we are not being very smart.

Honeybees/honey are an agricultural product.
>at least you get to keep the car or house...

I wouldn't be so sure about that. You buy a car or house you can't afford, sure, you can live in it for a while. But sooner or later, that will catch up to you.
as an orthogonal aside, I think we're also rethinking the necessity of marriage.
By the time slack published the RFC and got a few people on board someone else would have launched and taken all its customers
At Computex they were claiming the 4.5Ghz 3800X has 1% higher single threaded performance in Cinebench than the 9900K, presumably both were measured at stock clocks. The 3950X has 4.7Ghz boost clock stock so it'll be interesting to see how high ST performance can be pushed with overclocking.

Swipe up on the trackpad and just pick your window. Better than alt-tabbing all over the place.
>He saw past this mans lack of education and experience

Did he lack education and experience or formal education and business experience? Being able to manage people requires skills that no formal education I've seen can teach you. It can help, but it doesn't impart the required basics. Things like being able to read a person, know who is being honest, know what is the appropriate level of joking around for a superior/subordinate relationship.

Did he have the skills from non-recognized sources or did he pick these up on the go? Or was some other characteristic enough to make up for a deficit in these?
Can relate. Tho, I will add that, often, I've realized how the onus actually lied with me in asking for more challenging work. In my case, I felt that I wasn't clear with what I expected.
This is part of a general trend of outrageous spending on luxury items and experiences, often by young adults. Luxury goods are ascendant. Living within your means seems to be an outdated ante-Millennial concept.

Although there are other factors involved, I think it is a great and unprecedented triumph of modern advertising that they can convince people to go into debt for unnecessary crap. Pretty terrifying, frankly.
> oftentimes the biggest competitor to these ride-hailing apps is the fact that Tokyo's roads are so densely populated with taxis cruising everywhere that it's often faster to just hail one passing by than to open an app on your phone.

Sounds like it could work well with rideshare to save money?
Upper management is not omniscient. They may want you to achieve their design in an unrealistic timeframe or with unrealistic resources. Their design may not be technically possible.

It's perfectly normal for line-level management to push back in cases like this. Failing to do so means that line-level management will be setting themselves and their team up for failure.
It's eye opening when you realize how cut-throat competition can be when it comes to blackhat SEO etc.

If you've discovered some longtail goldmine and you're the #2 result when people search for it and it's making you money, you have a big incentive to do anything it takes to nuke the #1 result.

And before you say "You'll get caught and banned", obviously you do the nuking with a sockpuppet account. That's blackhat 101.

I wonder if anyone will try to disrupt the wedding space. As things stand, it's very, very difficult to have a 200 - 300 person wedding under 10K.

We rented a VFW Hall in an unsexy corner of town, did our own flower arrangements, got a dirt cheap but good dj (her website was literally something like cheapdj.com), had a friend make a cupcake smorgasboard, etc etc and I think everything came to around 14K for 250 guests. We have high income careers and had an amazing time, so the expense wasn't any kind of burden, but it's a shame to me that something like even our humble (albeit somewhat big and on a Saturday during peak season) wedding seems maybe out of the reach of a lot of middle class young people.
Sorry, typo, meant to write Dalton. Maunder was the one before that.
My whole extended family all use Facebook to post notes and pictures of kids and cousins, ask questions, say hi, and plan events. I have a clear feeling I would miss out on something if I refused to use the product.

What, you say? They don't have to use Facebook to do that? Of course they don't. But they do, and I can't fix that. Your cohort seemingly doesn't, or the members that do aren't members you care about.

That's what network effects are all about. "Facebook" isn't a product or a feature list in this context, it's a community. They have it, Google didn't, and that's what the linked article is about.
Just remember; someone who says yes first and no later is a "liar."

Those 50 largest customers are unlikely to move away within the next two years, and neither are most businesses. I can see someone worry about growth, but they're not going away in 2 years.
Of course they do, it's obvious the moment you step across the border. It doesn't mean the author is correct, or that there isn't variance.

I find the issue with candour is mostly with casual conversation or casual issues. The 'big lies' I think happen just the same.

The deeper problem is that most people want to amass crypto and get rich from it, and only a minority want to actually use it as a currency or for some heartfelt ideological reason.

As a corollary to that, you also have an army of people who are driven to madness because they didn't get to cash in, and seek to undermine crypto in the hopes of healing those gaping mental wounds. But it doesn't change the fact that the masses who drove the prices up wanted it to be a pyramid scheme in which they were the winners.
I've met only a few programmers IRL that complained about slack, and even then it was for ideological reasons, not user experience reasons. Everyone else, most programmers and all non-programmers I know like the user experience.

I haven't had any real issues with desktop or mobile apps either.

I've been using TypeScript for over 1 year after 10 years of JavaScript and I really don't like it.
It slows me and the team down and creates more problems than it solves. It doesn't even ensure type safety because there is no runtime type validation for JSON objects received from the API.
It's disturbing that so few people can see how useless it is. To me, it's extremely obvious.

TypeScript is a hack of epic proportions and every so often the reality rears its ugly head in the form of failed source mapping, version compatibility issues, unexpected types during runtime, poor architectural decisions aimed at pleasing the compiler instead of fulfilling project goals.

TypeScript is a very poor way to model real-world systems because it incorrectly assumes that real-world entities have a fixed type schema. This is obviously wrong.
Real-world objects change over time and most things cannot be categorised clearly.
A tadpole turns into a frog and learns the ability to walk. Some people are disabled and cannot walk. Some cars have 6 wheels.
There is no fixed type schema for anything in the real world; it is filled with anomalies so why should we design systems to model such unrealistic objects?
Why not force the developers to account for as many cases and schemas as possible, it's our job!

Some of the following is "team lead" stuff, but sometimes the manager and team lead are one, so...

* If they listen. A manager that listens to your concerns, and actively works to help resolve them.

* If they give you agency. You should have the power to do your job and make decisions.

* If they help you grow. We all need help, and managers should identify when you need help, and work with you to help you improve.

* If they facilitate teamwork. Managers should be able to diffuse friction in a team, lead by example, and help promote more efficient work. A team can often self-organize, but a manager should know when to step in and provide direction when needed.

* Keeping an eye on the bigger picture. It's easy for team members to sometimes be lost in minutiae, and a manager should be able to redirect efforts toward making progress sooner.

* If they keep a cool head under pressure, don't bad-mouth others, don't intimidate or harass, and generally behave in a professional manner. (I don't know why I have to state this, but sometimes it's lacking)

* Helps run interference, mostly for inter-team or managerial issues. Employees should want to defer to their manager to help resolve conflicts. If instead people don't want to involve their manager, something is very wrong.
