Read: The Making of a Manager by Julie Zhou (VP of product design at FB)

It clearly explains what a manager is and what he is responsible for and how to be a good manager. It also reads easily as it's a well-written book.

She defines the main job responsibility of a manager as follows: to get better outcomes from a group of people working together.

It is the one key re-map I cannot live without.

(Anyone who used a Sun keyboard for a considerable period time is familiar with this layout. I do not know if any other systems predated Sun in this regard.)
My family was from Northern Germany, though. So not asshole Britishers. Someone from my family fought in the French and Indian War. After that, I'm not sure, but there's a reference to militia membership around the time of the Revolution. I guess they sat out the War of 1812. The men in my family were farmers from when they arrived in North America until about the 1940s when my Grandfather bailed on the whole tradition and started a string of failed businesses instead.
This is obviously terrible behaviour. As an amateur photographer myself I particularly dislike the Instagram driven “race to the bottom”.

However... I do think in a situation such as this it’s a missed commercial opportunity.

If I managed a highly “Instagrammable” private location I’d aggressively enforce good conduct and at the same time have paid access to alternative times for photographers.

You want to be a selfish dick and ruin the common good so you extract more value for yourself? Pay for it.
I don't have a solution of course. We need a revolutionary idea like the "subscription model for software", but for user happiness, maybe there's a middle way which doesn't end in poverty for the software developer ;) UX designers leaving their ivory towers to get an idea how the real world works would be a good start. Somehow we managed to turn the positive idea of an "update" into something most users are hating.
I had no idea. The option didn't originally show up in System preferences until I first modified the touch bar preferences via an Apps "view" menu. No idea why this is, but thanks for sending me looking.
Near noon sun is angled closer to 90°, but in higher latitudes it's a lower angle. For example at noon it's 60° on first day of summer in Berlin and 30° at 7am when it's at 0° east. So it may be possible to have a building that would be longer on EW axis and narrower on NS axis. With possible shift for every floor allowing some flexibility.

Is it all for nothing? I imagine such building could be closer to city centers, but would have to face sun at premium. Maybe even integrated with regular buildings from south side?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_efficiency

In theory we can get a lot of efficiency by converting wavelengths plants cannot use wavelengths plants can use. However after accounting for all the system losses it is really hard to make up the difference. This assumes too that you use the best available solar panels, which are generally only in labs, real world solar installations are generally less efficient (just the chlorophyll vs solar cell number). Most of the losses in photosynthesis still exist either way as well.

Yeah. His design seems like overkill. It's "only" ~120mi across lake Michigan. In good weather you could do that in an afternoon in just about anything (people have paddle boarded across it).

The primary limitation of using a bathtub is that it doesn't really have enough displacement to carry a person plus all the fuel and beer needed for such a trip and it makes a shitty planing hull so that's gonna increase your travel time thereby increasing your beer requirements (beer is a mainstay of all recreational boating activities) and the increased weight increases your draft increasing your fuel requirements (it's a vicious cycle). Still sucks less than driving through Chicago though.
> There is a strange phenomenon online where in every discussion of propecia, someone will show up and claim they had terrible sexual side effects. But in the original clinical trials, the rate of such side effects was nearly the same as placebo.

"Known sexual side effects may appear" is a chilling phrase for a man to read. So before considering using a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor (finasteride or dutasteride) I pored over the literature.

What I read was almost comical and made me grateful that I've developed a bit of scientific literacy to dig into these studies for myself.

In a finasteride trial of nearly 1500 men, here's what "known sexual side effects" looked like:

> Only 11 men (1.4%) in the finasteride group and 8 (1.0%) in the placebo group dis-continued the study because of sexual adverse events, which resolved after discontinuation. These adverse events also resolved in many of the patients who reported them but who remained on the finasteride regimen and continued in the study. [0]

The absolute numbers are ridiculously low. I felt relief b/c I just imagined myself in a venue with 1500 other guys. Guess what, there are probably 8 of them experiencing some kind of sexual dysfunction.

It doesn't take long to realize that the general population has numbers of sexual dysfunction that align with the study participants. Hell, I found out riding a bike has a greater probability of causing sexual dysfunction than using one of these medications. Mind you, there are reams literature, with long-term studies, and meta-analysis all basically reporting the same data about side effects.

Moral being, do your homework and make a decision for yourself.

Yeah, I understand this feeling. It's certainly very easy to addicted to 'news' and information shared online, especially on social media sites.

And it's even easier if you're a journalist/blogger/YouTuber/content creator. In those fields your very popularity and social standing depends on how up to date with current trends you are, and sites like Twitter promise to provide said information.

So you end up spending hours there every day, desparately chasing after everything even remotely considered 'newsworthy' so you can get an article or video about it out online. Social media is like crack for content creators, and something that will almost inevitably end up taking over their whole life until they burn out.

But still, what can you do? The algorithms demand regular posts and updates, and anyone who can't provide them will sink without a trace. And you're certainly not gonna understand what's popular at the moment if you're not keeping up with it all.
Actually no deal is what the government leaflet that they sent EVERYBODY who voted outlined.

They said leaving the EU meant leaving the customs union and single market - that was pretty clear, that was what people understood from this and that is how they voted.

Alas many for whom the vote did not go as intended, seem to feel that everybody else did not understand what they voted for.

For me - staying in a customs union or single market would entail as best solution - staying in the EU. Leaving those meant leaving the EU.

Even mader is that the EU laws and article 50 state that any member state must leave without a deal as no deal can be negotiated until....they have left.

So this whole aspect of we can not leave without a deal, goes against EU law in article 50.

So really is very crazy how those aspects get overlooked and allowed to drag on when it was pretty well clear cut for so many and still is today.
They definitely think it automatically makes them fun/interesting, but it also functions as a way to automatically become an expert on something. I like to watch nature documentaries. Someone I knew started bothering me about how I should travel like them and see REAL giraffes, lions etc rather than just watching. Did they know anything about the animals themselves? No, but they’d SEEN them, which they felt made them an authority. Same with the dullards on dating sites who put up photos with impoverished children - it’s a nice way to signal that you tooootally know and care about such things without actually having to do any boring learning. And everyone who travels will jump at the chance to lecture you interminably about “authentic” food and drink...
Something that i haven't seen mentioned much is that some people just prefer to work on custom engines (i'm willing to bet that the main reason John Carmack made his own engines was because he liked working on his own engines rather than the costs of licensing). I know of at least a case (i wasn't part of it myself) where after a developer decided to switch from their custom engine to Unreal, almost the entire engine team quit.

FWIW personally when judging potential workplaces i bias towards those using custom engines since there is way more room for having an actual impact on the project and i am more likely to learn something new from a custom codebase than the 482th Unreal fork.

The fact that people often feel the need to justify working (almost always in a defensive stance) with a custom engine shows that they simply prefer to work with a custom engine despite other concerns.

Also there isn't really a clear cut distinction between AAA and smaller studios using custom and generic engines - while indies are more likely to use something like Unity, that is mainly because there are way more indies than big teams and many indies do not have the knowledge for a custom engine. But there have been many successful indie and small studio games with custom engines and AAA studios with licensed engines to say that if you're Rockstar go with custom, if you're small go with 3rd party engine.

Honestly i think the people involved are way more important (and likely to affect the choice of an engine) than any budget or size concerns (i'm not even considering the game type as most custom engines are used to make games that could also be made with 3rd party engines and the game type is rarely the driving factor for that choice).
I just want to say I support your freedom. We all have bills and it isn’t possible to change jobs quickly, but please never work for a company that does that after you get through this and try to set yourself up so you never have to again. Sorry your employer has put you in this situation. I am older and have been around the block and it is never worth it, even for your own startup.

Edit: never worth it when you are experiencing it as stress. Some, rare, people can do this and they may even like it, but it isn’t typical and unless you stand to gain more than a salary, quite questionable.

I worked for a company that was forcing a MDM on employees a few years back. I went ahead and wiped it and installed Cyanogenmod instead of the stock android rom. My phone was then incompatible with the MDM so I was no longer required to install it. I don't think it would of been able to do all that much even if it managed to install.

I have been getting dry mouth recently, and if I let it progress, headaches.

The thing is, I drink a lot of water. My urine is clear/slightly yellow most of the time. I even tried drinking more water, and the dryness got worse.

Gatorade is the one thing that consistently fixes it, but it seems a vicious cycle. I’m also trying various electrolyte powders, but they don’t seem as effective.

Anyone ever had this? Unsure why “drink more” isn’t working anymore. I’m not doing any particularly vigorous exercise, just walking.
You have to constantly fighting Unity to get the performance you want, which is extremely frustrating. The time spent on figuring out "WTF are you doing Unity" and coming up with a workaround is huge. Inside had a talk about how they achieve smooth seamless gameplay which involves purchasing access to Unity source code and mod it.

"the majority (albeit slim) said "we want out"."

The point is that isn't really actionable, it isn't a plan.

Hard Brexit was discussed, soft Brexit was discussed, BRINO, Norway plus. Everyone voted for their own preferred Brexit, so now we're in the situation on which Brexit to implement, and no one can agree, so which Brexit to go for?

And I would like to point out that no deal Brexit was never seriously discussed in the run up to the referendum, so there isn't a mandate for that. We were though promised that we would be able to leave the EU, keep access to the common market, and save ourselves £350 million a week, in what would be the 'easiest trade deal in human history'.
This is something I generally miss in game engine discussions. Good tooling for an engine feature is two or three times the effort of the feature itself on average. So ypu can probably bould an amazing engine runtime in your spare time, but doing anything interesting with it is painful because creating the tools is incredibly fiddly.

Seems like a good way of losing your traffic to sites/services that don't have said limitations. Would Twitter have become so big in the first place with them? Doubt it.

And if they tried to implement it now, they'd just give both competitors (like Gab) and decentralised alternatives (like Mastodon) the best free advertising of their lives.
No, you can't, but the vast literature contradicts the claims of these lawsuits.

6 and 8 don't naturally pair in the way people commonly think.

Comparative advantage is a confusing term in my mind. I typically substitute 'relative' for 'comparative'. It is an idea rooted in opportunity cost. The key insight of the concept is that there are benefits to exchange among two parties, even if one party holds an absolute advantage in production of all goods and services. There is a good discussion in the wikipedia article [0].

It is a useful exercise to work a couple of examples between two parties who each produce the same two goods, but at different costs.

When stripped down, it seems simplistic. But it is an incredibly useful mindset. A non-rigorous example, with completely made up nonsense numbers.

Consider an individual with a lawn. This individual needs their lawn mowed. They happen to be a superb lawn mower. They can mow their lawn in 30 minutes. Anyone they hire takes an hour to mow the lawn. This person has an absolute advantage in mowing their own lawn. Our hypothetical person can find someone who will mow their lawn (in an hour) for $1. Our hypothetical person can earn $10/hr. If they choose to mow their lawn (30min) they lose out on $5 of income. If they work 6 minutes, they can earn enough to pay for the lawn to be mowed. Thus our hypothetical person can choose to spend 30 minutes to mow their lawn, or they can spend 6 minutes to have their lawn mowed (async q;). Despite being a better lawn mower, our hypothetical person has a comparative disadvantage in lawn mowing.

I actually got used to the 2018 MBA butterfly despite my initial dislike and hesitation. That being said, I'm grateful for all the lobbying to improve butterfly keyboards because I got a much improved version with a replacement program in case one of these horrific ghost finger bugs or malfunctions occur. I definitely would not have bought this MBA if it had the same butterfly keyboard as a MacBook or pre 2017 MacBook Pro.

I just hope that the next incarnation of scissors keyboards or whatever mechanism they adopt doesn't go through another multi-year cycle of defective hardware, denials and silent upgrades.

I wonder if this move will trigger people who prefer butterfly keyboards or only know butterfly keyboards if and when it gets released.
Now this looks like a fascinating idea for an article given current events. I can't wait to read about how the US and UK intelligence communities orchestrated a coup to get rid of Iran's democratically-elected leader Mosaddegh in 1953 to install a brutal dictator who bent the knee to western oil companies, and how that's influenced geopolitics to this day.

Oh, wait, no, of course that's not what the article is about. It's a "Iran bad because reasons!" propaganda piece by a paid-for US intelligence community shill on behalf of his paymasters in the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, aka "Warmongering Neoliberals R Us".

To start branching out into additional software. Rather than shoehorning a feature into a product that doesn't need it, make that feature be a standalone product.
1. So lets say even if an actor is trying to bring down a 'normal/good' post by staking token against it, it is eventually the one staking the token who will loose. The jury members will be there to ensure that.

2. Karma component will only kick in, once the user has been identified as a bad actor by a jury. So you will never be able to bring bot accounts and just mass downvote. Good to know, I guess :)
The format is somewhat open. Unity stores a lot in plain YAML files. Unreal has a wild serialization framework that is part of the freely accessible source cide (but tons of strings attached - so be careful!). So you might get some reuse out of these editors, but the catch is that they are extremely engine specific (with UE, I can't quite tell if the editor is built for the engine or the engine for the editor). So you'd just set yourself up to replicate the same engine design because it makes handling the output of these editors easier.
Sounds expensive and complicated.

It's probably cheaper to just have baffles and vacuum the cargo out.

GitHub is not showing trending repo about itself (repo: GitHub-do-not-ban-us)
Pretty suprised at a lot of the comments here. The top comment is saying bald people should just get over how they feel and accept it, and a lot of people are saying that the scientists developing the cure are wasting resources that could be spent on something else. I doubt comments telling a trans person to "just move on and accept that you don't feel comfortable with your body" would go over well here, so maybe people should think before telling someone with premature balding that their anxiety and self-image issues aren't real problems.

Ask HN: How to respond to “whats the biggest technical challenge you've solved?”
I'm curious how people respond to this question, especially front end developers. I've been interviewing and struggling with answers for this. It's not that I have never had challenges but many of them have been very craft centric such as "this has to look and feel smooth on many different devices." And a lot of time the challenge is "this needs to be done quickly by this date" or "we don't have any tests so can you figure out how this API should work, document that and add test coverage."

I tried asking myself how would my colleagues answer this question about their work and I also can't answer so I don't think it's just a matter of me not taking on challenging work.

I think I just lack any context or framework for what would make a good answer.
