You can take notes, then generate Minutes of Meeting, or Minutes and send them to everyone who should be in the loop, augmented with your remarks, annotations, links to useful resources, and most importantly: action items. I shared the format I follow in another thread, in point 1.1 "Taking meeting notes".[0]

You cam'be interrupted in text. It also forces you to br clear and concise.

If people find your insight interesting, you'll be asked for your input more often than you have one.

This is a low stress way of getting the opportunity to speak.

Also, have you talked about this with your manager and did they offer some pointers and a way to make you heard. For example, in a crowded meeting, someone says something. You comment to your manager, they get the room's attention and hand it to you. Or they ask you from time to time if you want to chime in and get you speaking time. After a while, you'll get more comfortable speaking as you would have had the opportunity to do so.

I think it would be useful to talk with your manager.

Basically in the same boat. If you haven’t looked recently, the container support in Windows is getting much better - including prod support for Windows worker nodes in Kubernetes 1.14. But just using Docker with gMSAs was a big help to our CI/CD and simplifying/standardizing deployment of our apps which are a mix of legacy ASP.NET, WCF, and traditional Windows services.

If you can target at least 4.7.1 you can use configuration builders [0] to use environment variables/json/cloud parameter stores/etc to modify legacy web.config or appsettings without code changes. You can also use the .Net core config libraries directly in legacy .Net apps if the devs are willing.

>And that's fine, why does one have to understand an ancient language when they can interact perfectly fine with machines by using Python, Swift, Java etc?

If the interpreter or VM used by any of those languages is written in C, someone still needs to understand it. Not to mention that it doesn't hurt to understand the internals of your chosen language if you want to make the most efficient use of it.

Building with two separate housing units. In most of the US, probably similar to what you call a "semi-detached" or Germans call "Doppelhaushälfte" (units are next to each other, sharing a wall in the middle), but especially in the Northeast, sometimes a larger old house split by floors (ground floor and basement as one unit, second floor and attic as another unit, with some sort of separate entrance to reduce disturbance of first unit residents)
Industrial design includes materials science and process design as well as aesthetics.

In fact the aesthetics are the easy part. Ive has always talked about materials and processes in interviews and videos, so it's unlikely his sole contribution has been doodling rounded rectangles on napkins.

The question is the extent to which Apple's recent missteps are his fault.

Jobs seems to have had veto power over bad or self-indulgent design. Cook isn't aesthetically sophisticated enough to do that with any flair.

That leaves complicated collective politics in charge of the design process. Promoting Ive out of the company may or may not improve that - time will tell.
> Pretty good value for money for pros who need what it is designed for.

Come on, this is just not true. It's an 8-core with 32GB of RAM and 256GB SSD for 6000$. Just because Apple found some PC workstation that's even more expensive than the Mac Pro doesn't mean it's good value.
I think the switching cost is the same which ever way. I own a Pixel, and have an iPhone for work. I cannot be bothered to invest any time in learning IOS beyond the basics and generally don't enjoy it. I never really have confidence that my intuitions will be right. Simple things like pressing the big button will exit the app, makes me unproductive. I'm sure if it were my only phone I would be more proficient.

That'll drive them to use encrypted channels without oversight. The functioning of many a government agency isn't a derivation of the official processes. The official processes and record keeping are something that needs to be "Worked around" in many of these agencies.

The foundation of America as a country was based upon the Founding Fathers deep mistrust of the concentration of power. They used the word "Government" to describe this back then, but today, the influence of governmental agencies, private corporations and large unions with outsize decision making powers all threaten regularly the exercise of individual liberty as this case shows.

The answer is to return power to the people. The default scenario shouldn't be that someone gets arrested for whatever reason an unelected bureaucrat decides. Government or their agencies should have to request express permission to breach an individuals liberties and not the rubber stamp BS they follow now with warrants that require a threshold that's more likely than not to be granted on a mere suspicion. Transparency in this process is much more key to the honest functioning of Government than many others.

Much too often, for the sake of brevity or to just follow a routine, judges and the people entrusted with safeguarding these liberties and acting as a check tend to obfuscate much of the process or worse, leave it up without the possibility of contesting the decision until after severe actions such as remand are carried out. We need to reinforce individual liberties.

Of course, the iPhone 6S is faster in the same way as a 3 year old 3500$ SSD and top-of-the-line i7 equiped MBP is better than a new 600$ Acer laptop with a magnetic HDD.

Another way to implement fat pointers is to keep the pointer representation the same but have another structure like an interval tree that stores a map of pointers to the extra information on bounds. That's how I implemented Bounds Checking GCC back in the day: https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~phjk/BoundsChecking.html It has the advantage that pointers remain compatible with code that wasn't specially compiled to know about fat pointers (such as system libraries).

Very much so. But there are many architectures and C is a reasonable "portable assembler" of sorts, so having an inkling of a single ISA and a grasp of C will help a lot in de-mystifying more complicated data structures in any language on most architectures.

But you are correct that C by itself is not quite enough.
Mobile banking ‘to be more popular than high street branches by 2021’
Agreed on Tiamat's Wrath although it wasn't the worst either.
Judges tend to push back a bit if people are being arrested for merely swearing, especially if it's only at police officers.

Judges will say if you're in the job as a police officer that you need to be a bit robust about the language you hear.

They also say that we're not a nation of nuns and schoolgirls and so the everyday "man in the street" won't be aghast at the occasional swear word.

The public order act is problematic, and it does need to be reformed, but it's not as catastrophic as it appears.

We've just had a popular musician leading a chant of "Fuck off Boris" [Johnson], and that was broadcast on BBC tv. There are no arrests.

The other thing that causes real confusion on HN is that police and crown prosecution service have discretion about when to arrest and when to prosecute and they're too busy dealing with criminals to go around arresting people who've only sworn.
I have a partner yeah, and the kids are reaching an age now (5 and 7) where they don't need as much help anymore. Dressing, eating, tidying etc they can do on their own so things are also getting easier. With them, at least. We also have a 2-month old now ;)

Anyway, your comment about friends not being interested makes it sound as if you have no adult support whatsoever. It would probably help a lot if you could make new friends w people who have kids the same age. Where I am (Stockholm) it seems this tends to happen when people go on a longer stretch of parental leave - you automatically meet and start hanging out w families w small kids, whose parents are also on parental leave. I think it really helps having other adults around who understand - as emotional support if nothing else.

I bet there are parents groups, or even single-parent groups you can join, to get in touch w others like you.
Team sports are rituals to mimic our instinct for tribal war. Our boys are defending us against those bastards in the other city. Or going over to the other city and teaching them not to mess with us in the future.

The NFL amps up the imagery with militaristic starting lines and ultra patriotic imagery. Fans think of the players as local heroes defending the city.

Kaepernick's protests shattered that illusion and revealed the contempt many players have for the fans and cities.

That's why there was so much blow back.

iPhone sales have been over 200 million units per year since 2015 and over 100 million since 2012. I'm not sure that "used to" and "now" and "tiny slice" necessarily match up with what your comment implies.
What recent history are you referring to? I'm thinking for example about China. China raised almost a billion people out of extreme poverty in the last 30-40 years mainly due to switch to the market economy. This is arguably the biggest miracle in the whole human history. I'm myself from Poland and our switch from communism to capitalism has been good for almost everyone.

There are however externalities to the rise in human living conditions. Pollution, global warming, super bacteria etc.

Still, my perception is "yes, with big exceptions".

When people complain about not having enough air it's almost always mean that ventilation system in building is insufficient and there in fact too much of CO2.

That was the whole purpose of putting it in a bottom.
The thing works several months on a single charge and it takes just a couple of hours to recharge. And it starts giving notification at least a day before battery's depleted.

It's not aesthetics over function mantra, but realisation that they can't be decoupled or developed by separate divisions.

That's what concerns me about Ive leaving. He and Jobs evidently had enough courage to ignore public opinion to make things the right way and in most cases it turned to be excellent decisions.

Any JavaScript or C# programmer will understand the ifs, elses and fors, but that doesn't mean they'll understand what the C code does or whether it's correct - two essential aspects of reading code.

I've been doing C++ for more than a decade and had two tough experiences lately:

* I had to review a C project of several thousand lines. It's impossible for a human to understand if memory management is done correctly without weeks of deep analysis, so I had to resort to tools.
The logic of the code is also hard to make out because of the memory bookkeeping.

* I was reading the open source code of a Linux program and had to dig deep into a couple of system topics and read the documentation for half a dozen syscalls to make sense of it.

For me, C is one of the hardest languages to understand, you're always zoomed in at 10x, looking at all the insignificant details of memory management, working with strings and arrays, etc.

Data warehousing. Never did anything like it before so I'm curious to how this will play out.
You're completely missing the point. The internal network I'm describing should be nothing more than server metal and virtual workstations. Your border is miniscule at that point. You no longer have to fret about network ports in conference rooms. You no longer have to worry about testing your OS and software patches on the 20 iterations of lifecycle replacement hardware that is floating out in your company. You don't even need to invest heavily in workstations, as thin clients will suffice for most situations. Business continuity becomes a piece of cake because you're no longer factoring in the physical workstation beyond ensuring your cold site has a box of laptops in the corner.

Your concern about rampant malware won't even matter because the only way people can access the web services is through the VMs. The thin clients and physical workstations won't even be able to access most of those services that are mission critical.

In the situation where a company provided physical workstation is necessary, that machine would be just as isolated from the internal network as anyone else. Developers can use one of those, or use VMs that are VLAN'd off. And if your developers are automating their builds and containerizing, then your developers are going through layers of services and automation before their code goes out to production, so even they won't need access to production environments from their relatively insecure dev laptops.
Defense contractors or farmers are not direct employees either, yet they all found a way to extract maximum revenue from the system by greasing the right wheels.

You can trace it in California politics - the citizens were "in dire need" of high-speed rail back when construction unions poured significant funds into Sacramento, which was then overtaken by water infrastructure buildout (and respective rise of political contributions from farming industry), today it's our youngsters' education that needs critical intervention (and, by extension, underperforming pension plans of educators retired long ago).

Grandmothers increase their offspring’s genetic impact, for daughters by increasing survival rates, for sons by increasing numbers of offspring.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandmother_hypothesis

> The grandmother hypothesis is a hypothesis to explain the existence of menopause in human life history by identifying the adaptive value of extended kin networking. It builds on the previously postulated "mother hypothesis" which states that as mothers age, the costs of reproducing become greater, and energy devoted to those activities would be better spent helping her offspring in their reproductive efforts. It suggests that by redirecting their energy onto those of their offspring, grandmothers can better ensure the survival of their genes through younger generations.

> New USB controller firmware, apparently. The fact that it can have any effect on the CPU temperature is a little puzzling.

At a guess it's something to do with power management and link idling. Version 0 of the firmware might leave the link up all the time with constant traffic; a later version gets it to power down, and along the way someone has to test and fix all the cases where it fails to power down or back up.
