if people paid the price of a coffee for good software, post-docs could attach themselves to a research group and fund themselves by maintaining quality software products - freelance scientist FTW.

the problem here is that lots of people want _other_ people to work for free. if you're not being paid, it's a hobby and you don't owe anyone anything. if the science system relies on free labour and refuses to support it, that's a very different conversation and the results are predictable.
Ask HN: Who Are You Firing?
We see the monthly who’s hiring thread, but who are you about to fire? And if not you directly who do you think is about to be fired? Let’s keep names out of this but I’d love to hear all of your rants.
No, it can still be inefficient. It could have plenty of money, and just waste it.

If that's the case, throwing more money at it is not guaranteed to fix the problem. It may just increase the inefficiency.
Is it really a spin off? Or more of an abandoning of ship?
Isn't the new definition completely equivalent with the GP's one?
I must strongly disagree about ampere, the new definition is much simpler conceptually. The wording is bit obtuse, but that is a side matter, practically they fixed the value of coulomb (to a constant multiple of elementary charge) and now ampere follows from that by the basic definition of "current of one ampere is one coulomb of charge going past a given point per second". That is much more concrete than the previously imho very abstract definition which involved infinities and forces over a distance

To expand a little, since the org wants accurate estimates we need to accurately measure throughout and the total quantity of work. Though throughout trends stabilize pretty quickly, the system falls apart when one task reveals another. Accurately breaking down and costing every sub task at sub-week granularity for a multi-year project is an almost insurmountable task. It requires effectively doing all the work in your head.

I’ve seen one compromise and benefit to the system:

Compromise: push back on scheduling until the date you give for coming up for a date of completion. This works best during the final phases of development.

Benefit: with weekly throughput info, it’s easy to tell if someone is trying to do too much in a sprint.
SEEKING WORK | REMOTE (travel possible) | Los Angeles, CA

I'm a freelance developer with 7 years of experience. I specialize in helping early stage companies bring their ideas to life as new apps and websites. Beyond creating a beautiful app with you, I'll make sure we're measuring the right things so you can get the best outcomes. I build apps to allow quick iteration and short feedback loops. My experience at startups has taught me how to pick the right features to build and validate quickly, which saves you money and time. I can help you integrate marketing, analytics, and sales to get the most out of your creation.
One of the first companies I worked with, SwoopSrch, I helped take their rough idea of what they wanted to an MVP in a weekend. Then I spent a year helping them iterate on the idea. I spent a few years at Rackspace building massively scalable cloud infrastructure and making open source contributions to OpenStack. Then, I started as the first engineer at a startup, Triggr Health, building apps to help people in addiction recovery and help with mental health issues. One of my freelance clients was the University of Maryland, who I helped migrate some Flash apps to React and handle some challenging performance issues. Another client is HealthJay, who I'm helping to build an app to track seniors and detect falls. I'm buildling an Apple Watch app for them, as well as a React Native app (which also detects falls), a React backoff app, and a Node backend.

I've got experience with:

- React Native
- React

- iOS/Android native development

- NodeJS

- Javascript and Typescript

- Python

- Django

- OpenStack, AWS, Ansible, DevOps

Couldn't agree more. It's a pity that Mead and Bateson's work, particularly Bateson's, seems to have never made it to the mainstream. If more techies and psychiatrists understood their kind of systems thinking, the world would be a better place IMO.

And furthermore, no internet connection is needed to access data: URIs.
None of them are really fundamental. Some people feel that force is more fundamental than mass since force seems to be a "real" thing that happens while mass is just an abstract quantity that helps us predict forces. It's all human psychology, practical issues with measurement, and legacy. Quite a few of the base units are entirely redundant (candela, kelvin, mole) but we have them because of our human weaknesses.
The view that is US centric is "Nothing will work / we're unique" when it comes to questions of mass transit (and other things).

I find it strange and tacky that someone would post something like this. It feels like something that's fun in high school until you grow up and realize that insulting people doesn't make you look any better or smarter -- it makes you look worse.

While it does suck to work with someone who needs to be fired, losing a job can be financially and emotionally devastating. It can tear families apart and lead to suicide.

Why dance on the grave, even if it's anonymous?
Hah. My hope died with the 30 ICS-CERT emails I’m bombarded with each day.
Well, standup is also terrible. In addition, there's the general agile assumption that developers are capable of consistently producing X hours of work per day. Maybe it's just me, but I'm a bit more burst-y with my work habits than that.

And then we are back to the problem of deciding who gets what name
That's commonly called "duck-typing". And since you're discussing C#, I'll throw in that Typescript (another MS language) has duck-typing for interfaces. You can explicitly implement an interface, in which case the compiler will enforce that the interface is implemented. But you can also implicitly meet an interface.

> The Ampere went from being the thought experiment of two infinite wires 1m apart creating a certain force to being something nearly unintelligible to the average person.

The ampere is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the elementary charge e to be 1.602 176 634 × 10−19 when expressed in the unit C, which is equal to A s, where the second is defined in terms of ∆ν

Indeed, I can't even parse the sentence.
> Mead and Bateson's work in South East Asia was the basis for the title of Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus[1].

Being fairly familiar with Delueze and Guattari's _Anti-Oedipus_, I don't think it's accurate to characterize the Mead-Bateson link as foundational. To that point, the title of the work is "Anti-Oedipus" and the subtitle is "Capitalism and Schizophrenia".

Indeed, the Wikipedia entry to which you link makes no mention of "Mead" and mentions "Gregory Bateson" in a sentence including twenty-three other names, which notably does not include "Sigmund Freud" against whom Deleuze and Guattari are writing and whose work is the (anti-)basis of the title Anti-Oedipus.

Anti-Oedipilization is the formative root of Delueze and Guattari's schizoanalysis whose method is informed in its opening pages by Georg Büchners novella Lenz [0]

Quoting (excerpt of Anti-Oedipus page 1):

> A schizophrenic out for a walk is a better model than a neurotic lying on the analyst’s couch. A breath of fresh air, a relationship with the outside world. Lenz’s stroll, for example, as reconstructed by Buchner. This walk outdoors is different from the moments when Lenz finds himself closeted with his pastor, who forces him to situate himself socially, in relationship to the God of established religion, in relationship to his father, to his mother. While taking a stroll outdoors, on the other hand, he is in the mountains, amid falling snowflakes, with other gods or without any gods at all, without a family, without a father or a mother, with nature.

That seems like an extremely handwavy motivation, not much of an elaboration.

> When one side sees it embedded in the chat but the other side sees it as a link, it affects how the former uses the feature and how the latter perceives the former, in ways that could be unexpected to the former. The point of my article is that these features have a social effect which is not necessarily positive.

How does it affect it? What ways? What social effect?

This explanation is totally devoid of any concrete examples of a mismatch of expectations and resulting social effects, it just alludes to them existing without any concrete basis - essentially weasel wording.
Random damage? Yes, quite resilient. Targeted attack? Not so much.
Perhaps I've just always been extraordinarily lucky, but I've never heard the developers I work with complain about our Pointing and Development cycle (and I'd like to think I do try my best to 1) proactively ask them for feedback and 2) recognize and squelch any of my own reactionary defensiveness that comes from feedback).

One thing I see a lot in the comments is about time estimates and the amount of pressure that that brings and the rarity in which it works.

In my teams we NEVER talk about time of delivery with Engineering. I've always been trained to think of pointing as an estimate of "complexity" (e.g. 1 point is roughly the complexity associated with a copy change).

Then, by getting a track record of historical points completed in a week, we can transform our way from feature => complexity => time.

I'm questioning why FB and the member parties didn't just support an existing solution/infrastructure. The fact is, I don't trust them, and they have proven that I shouldn't. If they aren't actually decentralizing the system, and allowing direct person to person transfers without an account on their system, then that doesn't add anything over fiat currency, except allow them to not pay taxes.
So you make the calculations and use some wire length that places the error within your acceptable margin. You use the completely precise, but impractically small value of the electron charge on those calculations.

You also use the completely impractical value of the cesium emission frequency on your calculations for your tabletop amperameter, as well as the speed of light on vacuum (good luck having any "vacuum" around). So, why are people complaining specifically about the electron charge?
I used to think that too, but is it really? If estimates are always wrong, then is there really much of a difference? Besides, the lead often has business related information that informs his decision of "this feature must take no longer than X amount of time or we're going to have problems with Y" where Y is often political and not technical.
The title made me laugh, so thank you for that!

That's the 99% right solution IMHO, the one that covers the main use case where the other side doesn't have your layout AND you are fine with your layout, you just want the other side to receive it correctly.

There's also the case when the other side has a layout which you do want to use but do not have installed. I guess that's rather a rare case - if it's a desired layout, why wasn't it installed in the first place?

Perhaps MS can't update RDP so trivially, and is stuck with the wrong architecture for a good while. But at least they could ask before adding a keyboard layout. Or allow enabling/disabling this as an option on the RDP client rather than a registry change.

Compare the fox's journey of 2,176 miles in 76 days to the average Pacific Crest Trail through hiker's 2,660 miles in 152 days. That's 29 vs 18 miles per day. The PCT record is about 50 miles per day. So an athletic human could have kept up with this canine.

Of course the humans don't have to scavenge their meals along the way and the fox doesn't have to carry supplies.

Typically dog companions don't do well on such long hikes.

So while we can't keep up with migrating fish or birds at least we can potentially keep pace with a fox 1/8th of our size. Yay team. We're bred with the talent to keep on truckin.

The packing is mostly a function of how you yourself put the flour into the cup/how it was handled and stored before I got to my house. In practice there's not much variation of this sort.

Or, you know, a shell environment rather than app one-offs for everything.

Because that's what I want.

Rather more practicable than lugging around a a TV and generator.

And yes, the tablet's got Bluetooth and can stream to other devices. Or from an DLNA server. It's not as if Termux suddenly breaks that.

You and a few others keep suggesting apps and variations on remote hardware or servers. What such responses fail to acknowledge is that those are specifically the requirements that Termux allows me to avoid. Those are massive disutilities.

Becuse that's what I don't want.

Standard, simple, text-interfaced, local, consistent, and diverse tools, with a single (or small set of) install and update mechanism, and high levels of interoperability. That's the winm that's the goal, and any set of app, hardware, and/or remote-cloud-system solution rapidly destroys the very benefits and characteristics which make Termux so goddamned insanely great.

And that's what I want.
