You don't, not if you want something to get done.

> I felt that there must be a better way to do this so that the principals know the problems we have that I need help with (and also know about the problems I don’t know about), without me doling them out.

This is not management. Management involves delegation and monitoring and control of resources. It's not, "hey gang, here's a workboard of the stuff that needs to be done, you know what to do."

> Quite often, someone will email or mention at stand-up a problem that they have picked up and solved before I’ve even heard that it exists.

This is problematic because that means nobody on the team (including the manager) has a holistic view of what's going on in the project. That's supposed to be one of the manager's responsibilities.

There's some stuff in this post that might be beneficial for managing a team more efficiently, but it shouldn't be described in the context of "this is how a manager abdicates their responsibility".

This is pretty well understood in ICS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incident_Command_System). There is one incident commander; one section chief for each section (who may have one or a couple of assistants); one branch manager, and so on, all the way down. An incident commander may have a briefing with multiple branch directors, but typically that'll just be for purposes of sharing common information. Actual instructions go out to each branch director individually. Each branch director in turn passes instructions and additional information further down the chain. Eventually the information gets to a team, but even then there's a designated team leader and if someone is in charge of multiple teams, they gather the team leaders together and address them first as a group and then give them instructions individually.

ICS is designed to scale up or down depending on the scope of an incident, so these layers aren't present for all incidents. In small incidents you may have an incident commander speaking directly to one or more team leaders.

It works really well in practice and this is the system that multiple organizations use to find their ass when everything's going pear-shaped all at once. Startups and businesses could learn a lot from it.

One of the essential parts of the system is that every person has a clearly defined role. Another is that there's a one-on-one relationship between each level, so that nobody's left trying to understand more of the situation than is necessary or trying to figure out what their task is.

ICS is used all over the world to get stuff done in urgent situations that would just blow the tops off the heads of most mid-level business managers. It's a good system to learn.

Thanks for the reminder about forest. I realized that with the widget view on ios + having an apple watch, it is more useful.

I can run some shortcuts and time trackers from widgets, start/stop timers etc and use the phone/watch for a bunch of practical stuff while working, but having the screen blocked from distractions by forest.

That is exactly self-preservation. At least for those on the transport structure.
Args in a hashbang?

Maybe not, but I'm pretty sure every system supports a single arg. And very few (none?) support more.
>Tesla is making progress, and regardless of whether they survive these various courts of public opinion, they're helping to lay the ground work for safer roads by forcing the industry to integrate more and more automated safety systems.

They're also wilfully misrepresenting the quality and safety of their technology to their customers, presenting intentionally misleading statistics to the media about it, and attempting to suppress all criticism by insisting it's part of some big oil / short seller conspiracy.
Totally click bait article with no source or trusted information.

My Dad _just_ upgraded from an iPhone 5. Do you think his Xs won’t last as long?

I agree the laptop situation is a bit shitty. I hate the USB-C everything on my work laptop. Everything works fine on my personal computer but as soon as I plug my usb hub into a usb c adaptor everything stutters.

Love their privacy stance though. Best in the business for sure.

Also, what’s abusive? And what’s fraudulent?

Apparently their new monitors are very well priced. And building the same machine you’d get in a MacBookPro or different model ends up being more expensive or similarly priced.

I could be wrong, and I am, certainly, an Apple fan, but I will criticize when I think it’s appropriate and don’t hold views concretely.
Driving a car is absolutely the most dangerous activity most people regularly participate in. I don't think you're saying anything controversial there.

Ironic that this submission was also removed/locked by a subreddit moderator (see top response).
Of course you can, and there are plenty of ways to do so that don't break the site guidelines. Cheap, snarky one-liners are not the way. If someone's posting about their own work, there's no need to be disrespectful.

It's also not helpful to post such a clichéd dismissal of what someone else says or their work. That's in the site guidelines too.

How has that worked out so far?

1600 = 500 million
1975 = 3.5 billion
2019 = 7.5 billion
2050 = 10? billion

I am using the same strategy that is used for trap, neuter and release of feral cats. Best use of resources and quick results when you focus on the males.

I know. Human beings are not feral cats in heat. But from the POV of conservation of resources, optimal utilization of funds, mitigation of health risks and urgency on a time line, this ought to work.

In which imaginary universe has educating women reduced or slowed down birth rates? I am pretty sure more women are educated today than in 1600s.

And why should women be responsible? A woman has a small fertile reproductive window. This is by evolutionary design.

On the other hand, a male can impregnate multiple women and multiple times within his lifetime. A male literally can unleash millions of sperm in his lifetime and it’s only the limitation of human gestation period and the female anatomy that they are all not viable zygotes.

In Ag, soil is fertile. Weed seeds are opportunistic, prolific and resilient. We practice weed control. We don’t sterilize the soil so nothing can grow in it.

In every which way, in every natural system, the current suggestions of: 1. Contraception 2. Educate women 3. Give equal opportunities to women are all brain dead ideas setting the players up for failure.

And almost always suggested by men. Only a man would suggest ‘have back up abortion available’. Why isn’t anyone challenging this bizarro logic?

And we are still fighting for our reproductive rights. It’s nonsense and it’s about time we took a rational view and logically resolve this problem.
> Banks and governments are going to realize that Libra helps to defend the them from real cryptocurrencies.

That's not really a great selling point. So far most cryptocurrency adoption has either been for speculation or illegal activity. It hasn't caught on in the mainstream at all, either as a currency or a store of value.
Why is it so bad for billionaires to stop working? Presumably, with the wealth cap or very progressive tax, the resources they would currently use to make the next million dollars would be spread out over a million people and those million people might make that next million dollars. If not, then you are saying that the billionaire would make the next million dollars more efficiently, right? Given that concentration of wealth is bad, isn't it better for the million people to make the next million dollars than the billionaire?
I've said it in a previous thread, but these are the finest non-orientable manifolds on the market today, and as many posters in this thread point out, Cliff Stoll is an extremely nice man to buy them from.
That is fine and dandy, but it would be ideal if the nytimes.com subscribers could go and discuss articles on the nytimes.com website. Anyone who can read the article is already supposed to be a subscriber.

It is hardly a good outcome to invite comment on HN by people only able to read the title.

And compcert has at least seven different IRs, several of which are ASTs. http://compcert.inria.fr/diagram.png

That being said, consistency of internal data structures is probably one of those areas that separates a JIT from an offline compiler. I can see the benefit of switching to a bytecode representation pretty early in that circumstance.
If the acronym is Fist, shouldn’t you change order of words to:

Real plane autopilot is basically lane-following.

Tesla autopilot is theoretically capable of indefinite highway driving and emergency 'landings' (on the shoulder).

Pretty close in actual capability. The difference is the environment.
> A related aspect is that electric planes are much more quiet.

I'm not so sure! Have you ever heard the sound of twin-turbo regional airplanes in small airports? That sound is not from the turboprop engine, but from the propeller itself. Electric planes do have propellers and propellers are usually very loud. Actually much louder than turbofans!

Making propellers quieter has been an active field of research in fluid dynamics for decades but it's a very hard problem.
Authors over the years have postulated that the legend may have originated from sightings of giant squids that may grow to 13–15 meters (40–50 feet) in length.

Sensible adults don't give opinions because they are wary of politics.

It's fine to be opinionated if your opinion is backed up with experience. Young people by definition lack that experience.

It's not fine to be opinionated if your opinion would cause politics. Even if you're right - you're screwed.

A hashbang is not defined by posix, so using it without args isn't "posix compatible".

From https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V...

> If the first line of a file of shell commands starts with the characters "#!", the results are unspecified.

There is no more specification for "#!/usr/bash" than "#!/usr/bin/jq -jf"

The exec page provides even fewer words about how to interpret shebangs if you thought perhaps I was linking to the wrong portion of the posix spec
I think the main reason why the US doesn't perceive Mongolia or Kazakhstan as being a strategic threat, is their small population – Mongolia's is only 3.25 million, and Kazakhstan's is only 18.4 million. They lack the necessary population to be an economic or military great power (unlike China, India and Japan).

(The only way the US could ever perceive Mongolia or Kazakhstan as a significant threat, would be if they started building nuclear weapons or funding international terrorism; neither country has demonstrated any interest in doing that.)
Why do you assume that all work done by a billionaire can be substituted with work done by someone else? This isn't always true further down the spectrum - for instance, if you take away enough surgeons, some surgeries just won't be performed.

I don't see what jsonlines has over yaml; in fact the jsonlines examples presented there are almost trivially converted to yaml.
e.g. the first example is valid yaml if you add a '- ' to each line.

And JSON is (almost) a perfect subset of yaml.

I've been using csv lately. It's reputation is overstated.

What I like is that it's far more compact than yaml or json and trivially pulled into sqlite for ad-hoc queries.
Very very cool.

An easy first step is to stop buying bottled water. It just comes from a tap anyway and last time I checked, it was around a 1600% markup. I use a metal, insulated tumbler with a lid and my ice lasts 12 hours. When I require the portability of bottled water, I just reuse plastic gatorade bottles; they are pretty durable. It's a really easy change.

They are worried about being labeled a racist, because that carries a heavy social cost. They can be very easily fired, lose their jobs only based on vague allegations.

We live in a time where slander carries virtually no penalty and big corporations are terrified of being seen as anti-PC.

The mainstream media and internet outrage mobs can very easily ruin anyones day. It doesn't matter if they are right or not. Sometimes the "news" are entirely fabricated.
In 2003, a famous navigator, Olivier de Kersauson, claims his ship has been "attacked" by a giant squid and that he had to cut a tentacle to free the rudder of his ship. Many people doubted his story at the time, as he had no proofs of it and at the time we had no reports of giant squid at ships' depths.
Speaking as someone who used to use a Google-branded chat app to keep in touch with people daily and now doesn't use one at all: I am not sure that the ability to look at something and go, "That looks like it won't work" is a guarantee that Google will not go out and do it.

Yes. For example, being anti-illegal immigration and pro strong national borders is something that is hard to talk about without being labelled a racist.
Extremely impressive work! It looks stunning.

The WSL integration looks super cool, are you planning any other integrations like Docker, Hyper-V, SSH, or WinRM? Oher machine-local shells like ipython, or aws-shell would be sweet too but I understand not wanting to implement that last one.

I know you could just run some if these as a subprocess but there is some magic in 'Open IPython Tab'
Yeah, for me I personally agreed with his points when they were relating to how much power some corporate giants have to instill fear.

But then the union bit and the anecdote about bidding the contract just seemed totally off topic except for the fact that someone felt scared at some point.

I honestly don't hate the article but it ended up feeling like he was fishing for some story where someone was scared.
I think you may be missing some terminology here. Strong typing is about whether entities have definite types and resist type coercion. Ad-hoc typing in dynamic languages can make this hard to see, but it's still there. What would prevent you from calling a function with invalid arguments would be static typing, which Python and Scheme do not have.
But where do they put it?
In countries where women get increased education and increased rights, birth rates generally fall at some point. But this trend follows the improvement in child survival rates. The tremendous growth in population generally is attributable to the gap period where birth rates remain high while child survival is falling.

Women are typically the ones pushing for access to abortion, not men.
That is hilarious. Good thing they have strong unions and "don't be evil." Being slightly less conservative to the rabid dogs of today's right wing juggernaut is not a socialist utopia.

In your world george bush jr. is a socialist lefty.
While it obviously hasn’t taken off as a mainstream currency, it certainly entered the mainstream mindshare. And even if it is known for illicit purchases, it’s by no means useless for legitimate purchases. The best use case now is for privacy, which I suppose is misleading since it may lead folks to falsely believe that use of cryptocurrency alone makes them anonymous. Even still, there’s hardly any alternative for that use case. I use it to pay for VPNs just as a matter of principle.

Reality: I think cryptocurrency is worse for illicit purchases than many realize and simultaneously better for legitimate purchases than many realize. Pseudonymity is more useful for average users than full anonymity.

Hard to really know for sure what dominates the volume, but based on folks I know with large amounts of Bitcoin, I’d actually guess its been mostly investing for a long time.

That said, I never store value in any crypto, but I do think it is underrated for more legitimate use cases.
I feel like this is saying you're a Christian because religion is useful regardless of whether it's true. That's cool man, I'm not here to yuck your yum.

That's the problem -- it hasn't really caught on yet. But Libra could be so ubiquitous and convenient, it could catch on, before Bitcoin and Ethereum. And that creates a blocker for more adoption of those things.

But real cryptocurrencies can become popular -- they just need to scale and attach themselves to something that is convenient and popular. That could happen with lots of things, for example Status IM and Ethereum. Or Lightning Networks and some WebRTC sex chat site.

But if Libra gets in there before those other things take off, it could be lights out for digital cash.
> we start killing them off.

or else they will kill us?
It’s becoming clear that cryptocurrency is a real threat to major incumbents, and the reason corporations have signed on to Libra is to placate their shareholders who are asking them for a blockchain play.

The benefits of digital assets are obviously better than old-school pen and paper assets. The same arguments against the internet are being applied to blockchain, and blockchain is going to win just as the internet won.

Fiat currency inflates and is subject to the whims of government. Cryptocurrencies are managed by code. I prefer the code, and I imagine citizens of countries like Venezuela and Turkey would also prefer code over their corrupt governments.

How can I get healthy and clear skin?
I can relate with you a lot here but I don't think we necessarily suck more.

I think as we become subject matter experts, our standards for what it takes to have opinions advance to the point that our dilettante interests in varied subjects no longer impresses. It especially does not impress the experts of the subjects in question who are the only people really capable of holding a discussion that could impress us back.

I sense a kind of urgency to achieve career success only to be able to say I'm finished with it all so that I can go back to the mentality I had earlier in my life when I was interested in so many more things.

The PPC emulator, Rosetta, also required a full compliment of PowerPC libraries and frameworks installed. Though 10.6 did not support booting on PPC and only included Intel drivers, the basic system frameworks were still Universal Binaries — PPC code was included.

A Rosetta-like approach won't work on Ubuntu 19.10 as there will be no 32-bit packages, hence no libraries/frameworks in the appropriate architecture for the Rosetta-like layer to call into.

Roswell comes to mind for application building and distro management. Add in ningle for web app building and woo for the server (the benchmarks are really good), and you're basically good to go.

I think the main problem is there's too many implementations of the same thing in CL, so devs basically have to agree on a very specific subset of tools for every project, which adds a fair bit of overhead.

I pasted the quote about ‘back up abortions’ by Paul Ehlrich in 1969. It is policy at WHO. It is utter nonsense.

Women knew how to terminate pregnancies since the time of the pyramids. They just didn’t talk about it.

Women ask for abortions because it’s preferable to a pregnancy and child birth to them. It’s a choice they don’t have to make if the problem is nipped at the bud, as it were..if freedom..TRUE freedom and choice exists for women.

Back in time India tried making an atomic bombs but US used every trick in the book to prevent it from doing so. Where is the good relationship you talk about?

America has been supporting Pakistan untill last few years.

Few days ago they cancelled preferential trade agreement resulting in retaliation from India and imposing counter tariff on American goods.

As India gets more powerful, it will only make enemy with China or US and that's a guaranteed event.

Here I am waiting for the US to impose tariff on Indian software exports and this will make India change its way.
It's not mistakenly. Unicode's complexity is a bit more than trivial, and since much work has gone into abstracting over it many people are surprised when the complexity rears up at them.
