Yup. To add to that, IoT is also dominated by Linux. which number around 30 Billion connected devices worldwide. That's completely Linux.
Took off 4 months in July for paternity leave.

I think it helps strengthen the organization because any gaps in information flow become noticeable. The success of complex projects should not depend on a single individual.

I accept that less time at work may put me behind on the career track; and I expect that in the future, there will be a wage gap between parents and non-parents.
Maternity leave isn’t even required by US law, which is insane.

I’m all for paternity leave (I’m a self-employed father of two so had to create my own). But let’s start with moms, or at least a parental bucket that either parent can draw from.

Are you asking why software engineers don't memorize the lookup complexity of various data structures and how to implement (e.g.) sorting algorithms? It seems like asking "Why do many civil engineers not know truss types and stiffness matrices?". That is, there are high-quality repositories of this information that can provide it on-demand and free up cognitive overhead for creative problem solving rather than rote memorization.
Yes, you're correct. I will also include Google Fonts, I just figured I'd ship early.

I also include a some (commercial) fonts that aren't on Google Fonts, which I use often in my design/prototyping.

If you can understand your own motivations and see through ideology, you aren't bound by the limited possibilities of the "normal man." Of course, everyone thinks they are further along in development than they actually are. Perhaps the author actually is hypersane... or he is just confused.
It was a good article but my main takeaway was that the city botched the marketing of the planned change. Had they communicated what was being planned and why ahead of time, as well as providing the tool/simulation to make it more tangible to residents, they might have had less objection to the change. If not, they at least would have likely had more support from the majority who stood to benefit to counteract it.
I get why Verizon is selling it, but I don't get why Automattic buying it is news.
Your goal is to train them, guide them, coach, mentor and turn them into good developers that you would want to hire. It's a full time job.

My approach is I start by giving them simple tasks to get comfortable. I have them pairing with more experienced folks to get hang of the teams approach. I engage them in discussions, making sure they have solid foundation for what they're working on. In my case for Enterprise app, that's making sure they really understand OOP, Making sure they understand interface and composition over inheritance, making sure they understand SOLID principles.

When it comes to code, I talk a lot about design. We can take a problem and solve it 5 different ways, and weigh the pros and cons. Sometimes there's no best way, and what's more important is understanding your approach and why. You might want to optimize for shorter development time, or for faster code execution, or for extensibility or for reliability and they all require different things. What is the current constraint of our situation calling for? Sometimes we can take the same code and rewrite it over and over in different ways till we are sick of it.

My goal with interns is to make sure they understand the fundamentals, and then to realize that there's truly a hundred ways to skin the cat, and not to run with the first solution they think of. I don't really like the review over software, other team members can do that, but I prefer to pair and we just talk casually and share screen while we talk about the code. If what they did needs a completely revamp, I might give them a pseudocode and send them off after discussion.

I make sure they understand that code is a small part of it. Did they capture the WHY of the code? Did they test? What type of test? unit? e2e? stress? Did they document on how to test/run their code? Did they write documentation?

Your code review must match up to your documented code guidelines, I show why our approach is in alignment with our guideline. You can't review without a guideline. The end goal is to have someone that will eventually become a very productive team member.

In the beginning, spending 2-4hrs is not far fetched for me. It all comes down to their strength and prior background. Good luck to your interns.

Odd that someone who doesn't need to work ever again would become a spokesman for this cause...
This subthread is discussing a misconception prevalent among HN users. But this same misconception may also be shared by other groups; no one is saying it's exclusive to HN.

I believe your anecdotal experience in this area is true and accurate. But at the same time, the raw stats just don't reflect it being universally accurate across all users. A similar phenomenon has occurred regarding people saying they're quitting Facebook, deleting Uber, moving off GitHub, etc.

In this specific case re: Tumblr, my guess would be that only a portion of them actually stopped using Tumblr at that specific time and for that reason. I suspect some of these people already stopped using Tumblr long ago, and meanwhile some others do continue using Tumblr despite previously saying otherwise. I'm just speculating though.
If you are chronically stressed because you are working a terrible job, have overwhelming family obligations, etc., that doesn’t necessarily mean you have an “anxiety disorder”.

It might instead be that your anxiety is a perfectly natural response to bad circumstances. To fix the problem it would be better to address the causes of the stress instead of trying to just treat symptoms.

At a societal scale, it would be better to e.g. improve worker protection laws, expand the social safety net, subsidize childcare for working parents, crack down on fraudulent business practices, allow people to discharge student loan debt in bankruptcy, make sure skilled immigrant workers can switch employers without losing their immigration status, work to reduce domestic violence, reform the criminal justice system, etc. instead of just expanding access to anxiolytic medication or pretending that therapy alone can solve all problems.

For an individual, the proper response might be to quit a job, start saying “no” to demands to work overtime, break up with an abusive partner, sit down and have a frank conversation with overly demanding parents, declare bankruptcy, take a leave of absence from college, let someone else take over maintaining the open source project, ...

I had the same thought, I read the article to see if that was a thing, like black hat hackers. Turns out in the US, they find amazing that black people can be beekeeepers like white people. And yes, I checked who wrote the article, but it is probably a way of thinking that is shared nationwide.
Arguably the most important purpose of code review is to ensure the code is maintainable, i.e. the next person to look at it can figure it out. Having standards like naming/formatting conventions and test coverage should exist to support maintainability, rather than be goals in themselves.
My goal isn't really "data privacy", but to oppose Google acting like it owns the Internet and doing whatever it wants to further its agenda.
AFAICT, there’s no evidence that online moderation hides extremism rather than eliminating it.

I’m not old enough to speak seriously about the way the Internet used to be, but I am old enough to remember what happened when I would be banned from a service: I would move on, until I either eventually learned my lesson or I was completely banned. Both are acceptable outcomes and the (unfortunate) consolidation of online communities over the last decade has made the former an easier policy target than the latter.
Baseball cards, trading card games, capsule machines, blind box toys and collectibles... they are all legalized gambling for kids (and adults) and loot boxes are simply more of the same but in digital form.

I'm not sure why the former aren't regulated more closely though.

Crane/claw machines and Stacker arcade machines are "skill" games that are very close to gambling given the irritating (though technically not random) variation in claw tension (making the game almost impossible to win at low tension) and the randomness of the last level of Stacker.

I'm not saying signaling is wrong; I'm saying to the EXTENT that someone cares so much that they wouldn't buy it because there may be porn associated alongside it, is a symptom of being in the set of vain, insecure, and young and dumb people.

I own a Porsche, I couldn't care less who they are advertising to so long as it doesn't hurt anyone. Moreover, I've learned with anything that attracts that much attention, it's not signaling any kind of attention you would want. I get really annoying attention, on a daily basis. If it wasn't for the tears of joy that I get from driving it down twisties, I would sell it in a heartbeat.

From my perspective as someone in the 1% of my age group and was apart of the set of young and dumb, vain and insecure people, signaling with expensive items is childishly overrated; it's far more fruitful to signal with kindness, compassion and intellect; any trust fund baby can afford a porsche and be as vapid as anyone else.

Reminds me of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_management_theory for some reason (not that I necessarily subscribe to either of these "theories" in any particular form).
I'm quite fond of Canada's system for parental leave[0]. The person giving birth gets 15 weeks off with 55% of their pay covered by their employment insurance (EI), and the couple get to share, however they decide to split it, either 40 weeks (at 55% pay) or 69 weeks (at 33% pay). No cost to the employer, but they have to ensure there's the same job waiting when the person gets back. It also covers adoptions.

It probably is hard as an employer but every business is playing on the same field. It's not like "Well, I won't participate in that because my competition would have an advantage over me". It's not optional and it's illegal to fire someone over it. Every business with employees has to accept this will happen eventually. The only optional choice (which my employer does) is to cover the other 45% of the pay for a certain number of weeks.

Interestingly, often you hear about people getting in at businesses because "they had a temp opening because of a mat-leave!". This works a lot like an internship, where the employer gets to test out a potential employee while not committing to them since the person on leave will be back on a specific date. Great way to get experience and networking for young people.

My teammate, for example, left a few weeks ago when his child was born. He'll be back in January. Sucks for our team to work without him that long, but it's nice to know that if I decide to have kids that option will be there for me too.

What's the solution? I would argue that the Linux model is way more secure than the windows model of "Google your software and download it from whatever website pops up". It also allows for much more freedom and availability than the locked down macos app store.

When did tourism become so huge? I honestly don’t remember people talking about their trips and vacations much growing up, but I felt a sharp rise with the rise of social media. I knew of very few people who routinely went on crazy vacations and talked about it, now it seems like they are everywhere. Is it because of social status and the selfie zombie? I even had a girl refuse to talk to me because I didn’t go on these elaborate vacation trips. (I’m sorry but I grew up on handmedowns and not having enough food was a thing. I’m not going to spend a few thousand on a field trip when my parents back home are doing everything they can to save a few dollars).

I remember going to national parks growing up and they were never that crowded. I feel like it’s all changed. And now instead of people who go to these places to actually see and experience the place, they go there for all the wrong reasons.
My first thought was they should have Dr. Ballard searching for MH370.

A quick search found this in an AMA he did.

"I offered immediately on hearing of its loss to help in any way possible either advising them on how best to hunt for the airliner or to do it with my own ship and technology but they turned me down. You can't help unless you are invited to help and they clearly wanted to do it themselves. Recently, I met the president of Malaysia Airlines who offered to send me the search data to look at just in case they might have missed something. I am still waiting for the data but don't expect to get it."

I don't know. The word ribbon was miserable to begin with but it has reached a point, thanks to a bunch of UI improvements, where it's far preferable to the classic menu for many people (at least the majority of people I've met).

"You (or other skeptics), saying it's not a great resource (while ignoring all evidence already provided)."

No, simply pointing out that it's your job in this discussion to present that evidence, not to try the frequently disingenuous tactics of "Oh, if you knew anything about this subject you'd know this is the greatest site EVAR" or "I'm saying this site is great. You have to do the legwork to dare to doubt me!".

I'm not claiming anything about the site that you're stanning for. I'm simply doubting the tales of rainbow unicorn farts and victimization by Google that people like you are pushing here.

But then, you are a very easy person to doubt. Your knee-jerk hostility to "skeptics" makes me think you push a lot of woo to anyone who has the misfortune to be stuck listening to you.

So flip that around as well. Instead of a person being required to prove it wasn't them, the bank should be required to prove it was.

I wholeheartedly agree with the emoji thing. Seems simple and unimportant but it's a way to communicate and teams is terrible at it.

the people who work on teams seem nice though, I actually got a helpful answer to my SO question about emojis:

In tech you can take paternity leave but there is no gaurantee that they won't shift your projects off to other people and there won't be a place for you when you get back. This has happened to me twice for both my kids, even though I was in great standing before taking leave. One time it led directly to my firing completely out of my control. Now I'm scared to take leave even if they offer it. So you can "take" paternity leave in most tech companies, but you will pay for it with your job indirectly.
I'm not American but Trump's been in for 2/1/2 years now. Isn't it getting a bit old now to still be blaming Obama? Is America great again yet?

If Trump was against it, he would be changing it, just like your border policies, trade agreements, international relations and everything else he's busy "modifying".

I recently had twins and was very grateful my company recently added 6 weeks of paternity leave. Had this not been the case I would have been forced to use up my sick time which I will likely neee to use with my kids, and also would have been fairly worthless when I was at work.

Reminds me of the NET SEND command in windows 2000-xp. Allowed sending a popup text message to specific (or all with a wildcard!) machines on a network.

Sure there were times where such a feature would be convenient ("server going down for maintenance, please save your work", etc), but overall ripe for abuse. They disabled it in a service pack and took it out altogether in subsequent versions.
In the US four in ten people can’t come up with $400. People are paid a lot more than in other countries, but retain hardly any wealth. A large percent of Americans are paycheck to paycheck, meaning once housing/food/healhcare/other essential unmovable costs are paid for, there is no money left to save for anything. America might have the greatest level wealth inequality in the world.

Now that I've thought about it, I'd like to posit that the Author is not in fact talking about "Hypersanity" as a state of mind, but in fact, just people particularly dedicated to spreading their ideas.

As I was reading the article, I was particularly struck by how it failed to acknowledge the threads of ideas which "normal men" may have, but never advertise particularly far. If we were to cast out the net of all the ideas that normal people have, and then also put it through some kind of heuristic to pick the best ideas, we'd end up with something far better than a "hypersane" person.

Adding to my previous comment, the issue here is the heuristic for picking the best ideas doesn't exist for either normal or alternative thinking, so amongst both sets, we end up with masses of garbage.

>> 16 weeks of paid paternity leave - which was the policy at Reddit

I joined a company a couple months ago but prior to accepting, I asked the CEO what their paternity policy was because I disclosed we are expecting in December. He responded that they have a "wonderful" policy so I accepted. After starting, HR provided me with the employee handbook but there was no mention of maternity or paternity leave. I asked where it was and HR stated the company "does not have a maternity or paternity policy" and said my accrued PTO of 1-week by the time December hits should suffice. I just want to jump ship now.

There are many positive things about living in the US, but having a child here absolutely blew my mind. Not only is the act itself incredibly expensive (I'll spare everyone yet another health insurance rant...) but leave for both mother and father are woeful. Did you know there isn't even a federal requirement for maternity leave at all? In some states women get to claim disability for six weeks and that's it.

Anyway, to get a little more on-topic: lots of us tech company employees are incredibly blessed when it comes to parental leave. Take. Every. Day. Not only is it practically a physical requirement (I don't care what you think, if you're heading into the office with a two week old baby at home you're not getting enough sleep to do anything productive) it's also an amazing opportunity to bond with your child. Your coworkers might moan or judge you. If they do, they're assholes. And who cares, you will move jobs in a few years anyway. You don't owe your employer anything. Take the leave.
Not very feasible in our debt-driven, paycheck-to-paycheck country with gig workers and contractors scraping by. Many of the startups and companies that frequent hacker news not only rely on this kind of labor, but are actively creating apps to further "uberize" the workforce.
