I've witnessed that myself by running Octane JS benchmark. I think that's pretty good indicator for most smartphone applications.

I agree, storage speed is probably appalling - you still can't sync your iPhone over USB 3.0 - takes half a day to do so after a vacation...

Even after that you can't deny transistor count and numbers we have. If you have better ones - do present them.

Exactly this. Most people have enough of a routine that they can predict what they'll be eating for the week. Plan the meals for the week before you go shopping then make a list of what you'll need for those meals.

Ask HN: Automated resource scheduling for project management
I've been looking around at the PM resource scheduling solutions that exist, but they all want me to manually pick people and assign them tasks, and quite often resolve conflicts manually. Are there any tools that will take my project with its tasks and automatically generate a schedule across all resources taking into account conflicts, leave time, due dates, task skill requirement, etc.? I want to spend my time focusing on the progress of the project, clearing roadblocks for people, not shuffling around calendars.
If you make it a law that you have to buy and consume a certain product, what incentive is there for the manufacturer to care about making it a good one? If in a mandatory-vaccination world contamination and low effectiveness don't reduce the number of people getting vaccines, then I would forecast some serious quality issues as pharma companies (who are corporations, not nonprofit health organizations) get sloppy.

In a world where a single pharma company can be given total control of the manufacture of a specific vaccine via patents, mandatory vaccination is really asking for trouble. I could patent a vaccine to cure some random virus, use my army of lobbyists to convince the government it was a health crisis, and distribute saline injections for 20 years.

Ask HN: Improving people skills w/ Bandersnatch for e-Learning. Other use cases?
Hi everyone! Technical co-founder of Wiserstate here.

Please share bloody honest feedback on the product I'm working on! :)

I've just watched "All About Pivoting" by Dalton Caldwell from YC's Startup School (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pNxKX1SUGE) and highly recommend it to early stage start-up founders still looking for product-market fit and trying to understand if they're going in the right direction.

The lecture made me think that we (Wiserstate) might be chasing a mirage - we've got a little traction making it hard to throw everything out of the window but not so much traction to say that we've found PMF.

Wiserstate helps new managers to solve team and personal problems with videos by qualified experts; unlike in static video lessons, experts ask questions and react with individual advice.

So, technically we've built a "Bandersnatch (Black Mirror's interactive movie) for eLearning". I would highly appreciate honest feedback:

1) Would you pay for this and use this to get an expert's advice instead of approaching directly your manager / coach / mentor / advisor / other experts you know personally? Why not?

2) How do you look for leadership / team management advice? Do you google it? Does it work for you?

3) Is this a problem for you as a manager? (having the necessary know-how / advise on how to handle team and personal problems / improve your leadership)

4) What should we be doing differently?

5) What other use cases for such interactive videos come to your mind?

Looking for that magical product-market fit. Any advice for the directions to pursue will be highly valued.
I get it. Languages are where major security gains are going to be made. Everyone knows that. That being said, the proselytizing is obnoxious.
Z73 appears to be "Problems related to life management difficulty". I presume they meant something more explicit like coding under Z56, "Problems related to employment and unemployment".
The article really downplays the extent of Levandowski's greed and willfully criminal behavior. While Google paid him $120 million he was actively working on Otto, which he sold to Uber for almost $700 million (https://www.businessinsider.com/google-levandowski-120-milli...). This doesn't seem like a case that's going to set some dangerous new precident.
Remember, 4 of those hours of commuting are sitting on a train. You can watch movies, read books, take a nap, play games, get work done, etc.

I usually was at work from 10-5 and usually sleep closer to 6 hours a night. That gave me about 6.5 hours of free time. I also worked from home twice a week.

I personally hated it and only lasted at the job for a little over a year, but I could understand how some people could make it work.

There was a state X, where to build FF one needed to use a certain tool chain.

The new state is Y. To build FF one now has to use two tool chains: the previous one and the new one. Not having either of those tool chains prevents the build.

That's a definition of a beginning of a rewrite. And it is an incredibly dumb idea from a business perspective which will bite Mozilla in the ass in the future because it is increasing the build complexity today and tomorrow for some pie in the sky promise that may or may not pan out in future.

I'm not saying "Don't use Rust for a new project". I'm saying that the software industry is littered with the corpses of entities that decided to add a new way of doing something to an existing project where it did not pan out.

For me it is clear RISC-V will become the defacto standard in processors, soon it'll even compete on the high end. So besides being cheaper:

- as a developer my RISC-V (assembly and system) skills will remain relevant and valuable

- by using RISC-V MCU's now I will avoid future family migrations

- RISC-V's are already the MCU's of choice embedded in FPGA's and AI chips, and I won't need to learn another tool before being able to utilize them

- RISC-V enables collective community-enabled innovation (which was the prime driver for creating it)

- Rust runs on RISC-V MCUs (besides ARM)

- RISC-V simplicity simply means less bugs
I mean, technically it's possible. It makes it hard because the supply of low-skilled labor is very high, and you can't bargain to be paid a higher wage for a position, if someone else is available to do it for less.
Not OP, but I’d recommend search engine optimization to find a larger and growing audience - after all Google’s search box is still much more important than Amazon’s and for most people the beginning of product (category) research. Obviously not should optimize by trying to game the system, but simply by creating good, relevant content for your customers. Maybe a blog with extensive, authentic and detailed background information about your product categories and the particular niche you serve. Furthermore a fast, responsive, easy to navigate website - it doesn’t need to be fancy, but frictionless.

Don’t rely on third party platforms for your core business.

Hey thanks for your message, answers below.

1. What's your requirements for technical co-founder?

Should love front-end technologies and making beautiful interfaces functional. We're really into this stuff, we're looking for somebody to share our obsession. Javascript, Typescript and SASS are the main tools they would be working with.

2. What is boardme's stack?

Client:
HTML, SASS, Typescript, Webpack etc.

Backend:
Node, Typescript, Express, Mongo, etc.

Infra and automation:
Ubuntu, Docker, Swarm, Jenkins

3. If i am a customer, why should i choose boardme?

I will not sell you on the value of customer onboarding, because that just speaks for itself in 2019. If there weren't tremendous value to it, you wouldn't see every big name in the software industry implementing it. In fact, the truth is you would have to search really hard to find an example of a successful application that is not leveraging it.

It is crucial to the success of your application, but at the same time it is a feature that the users come across rarely during their lifespan as an active user. The effort and expense it takes to implement and maintain it remains the same though. Thousands of dollars or lots of manhours.

So I will instead propose this. Instead of spending a lot of time coding and debugging your onboarding solution, or spending thousands of dollars to outsource the development and maintenance, you could use boardme to set up your onboarding with a few clicks, and for a fraction of the cost.
Evacuation should be done relatively late/certain. Preparation should be done weeks to months in advance.

Complete opinion here but this is my take on anything Linus.

Linus has learned that anything he says is potentially going to quoted and quoted over and over again. So it seems like he only talks in extremes now. I always tend to look at it like he likes rust more than the other two and nothing more.

If he said the other 2 are alright, people would run with that quote, and vice versa.

One of the best tips I learned about reducing food waste is to freeze bread and avoid putting it into the fridge. Frozen bread stays fresh and can go directly into a toaster or toaster oven:

Harold McGee replies: Good point to bring up! Bread and other lean baked goods are the exception to the rule that cold storage is good. Bread stales faster at refrigerator temperatures than at room temperature. So if you want to keep a loaf for a couple of days, a breadbox is better than the fridge. For much longer than that, the freezer is the best place.

That is true, but SPARK is more heavyweight and less mature than Rust.

If someone wants to make the case that SPARK would be a better approach than Rust to writing safe code in the Linux kernel, they should go ahead, but I haven't seen anyone make that case.

It's possible that the description Google used is a bit misleading. Meaning that they might actually be doing what you said - splitting out the subdomains as their own entities and the natural effect of this is to have a separate ranking, thus looking like they got penalized for using the subdomain but really they were just reclassified.
Anti-vax, flat earth, alt right... I often ask myself, are these the same kind of movements that brought down the civilizations before us?
Yes. A couple years ago I started a marketing consultant and have 2 side projects in the works.

What helps is; 1) I WFH so I am about for school run and I can work before and after dinner easily plus school events as its a 5 min drive. 2) My partner works shift work usually 3 days so housework is largely done by them. Plus occasional 1 shift weeks so I schedule travel around these periods. 3) You dont have to work 24/7. I tend to work from 9-4 then 8-12. So I get morning and afternoon with kids. I'll close that gap if needed but that leaves plenty of time for kids. 4) I live on a small farm so I feel this keeps a balance as most days I'll be out feeding animal or doing something physical. This way I dont mind being screen heavy. Also I can do activities with the family form the doorset like ride horses/dirt bike or do a quick bush walk etc.

I find the biggest issues; 1) is ability to take holidays. To shut shop for a few weeks is near impossible in my current situation so I take a laptop everywhere. I feel this is the biggest impact. 2) With consultant work it limits time for the other business. If my partner was a better earner I might focus on the side business full time but seems too risky. I might be more risk friendly here without a family but not incredibly so.

A'so, a bit deep, but whats important to you? I look at the time with my family and would prefer to earn a middle wage with that than be the world first trillionaire without. Obviously everyone is unique here but I would prefer to have less money and more children.

I’m surprised Feross was the catalyst here. From his Youtube Instant days always struck me as the type who appreciated and championed FOSS. Seems he decided that the F in FOSS might be, erm, “reinterpreted,” much the way the notion of “free” has been by modern web companies.

In JIRA your performance is constantly measured comparing the actual work against the estimates, which are usually not under the developer control.

There are reports produced that developers don't get to see that the manager does to compare developers this way.

Of course, this can be easilly gamed. The most cunning developers will go out of their way to get the tasks that are clearly defined in scope and that they are familiar with, while others always end up getting the short end of the stick.

Guess who is going to look better under that report. Developers are overloaded, and will actually avoid to raise new issues or suggest improvements and new tasks, with fear that they will get more work on top of the workload that they can't already handle.

JIRA is really used by middle management to treat developers as essentially replaceable assembly line workers in a factory context.
Hostile? I was quite polite. You’re the person expressing denying the validity of market effects that literally kill people, and you’re pimping it as freedom. That’s hostile.

I've never had manager who hasn't coded ever in his life. WhatI had most of the time was a manager who hasn't coded in a longtime.
My experience from building docker images of Go programs from Github repositories is that Github very aggressively rate limits you. More than one "go build ..." per 10 minutes and it just randomly won't send you the repository contents anymore. So a module proxy was a must. (You could also vendor dependencies, which is my preference, but my team was strongly opposed to vendoring. So we used Athens.)
Andrew Wakefield was simply an expert in gut health he didnt even want into the vaccine debate. He did very fair research that proved a link between between what he found in the gut and autism at the request of parents bringing their kids to him that was signed off as fully accurate by 12 scientists that assisted the research. It scared a pharma sponsor and got pulled from publication. That's all his story was and it turned into the all time anti vaxxer conspiracy somehow.

Yeah. It's extremely tone deaf of the Go dev team to pull this crap.

While I don't particularly like the idea of stuffing ads into npm logs, I don't have the same visceral negative reaction that many people have in these HN threads on this topic.

The overwhelming majority of the people complaining about this are well-paid tech workers writing code for well-funded companies that profit off of open source code without providing any reciprocal value to the open source projects in return. (Of course, that statement isn't true for 100% of companies, but I'd guess that less than 10% of companies using open source code donate back to the open source projects they use)

Something about this whole debate makes me a bit uneasy.

You have people working mostly for free, developing open-source, FREE code that provides incredible value to the for-profit companies that use the open source code to generate (sometimes) massive amounts of revenue.

Given the amount of value open source provides to for-profit companies (with the open source maintainers rarely getting any reciprocal value from the companies that profit off them), why is it so alarming to think that these maintainers might think of a clever idea like this to make a couple thousand bucks?

I'm not arguing that npm install logs should be packed full of ads (it shouldn't).

But instead of attacking the guy for trying, I really wish the discussion were focussed on how the community of open-source consumers can contribute back to the open source ecosystem in a way that promotes the sustainability of the projects and community.
People look for mates who will care for them. If you value the group over the individual then that's less likely.

The ideal, surely, is someone who looks after themselves, their partner and their friends foremost and the group after that.

When those two things come into conflict, however...
OK and quite right, but how do we actually ensure funding for the stuff that needs it?

It seems odd to me that people won't cough up even small amounts to support what F/OSS they rely on, but will pay for closed source stuff.
What do other developers look for in a job posting?
I'm the lead at a small, but growing company. We're trying to add to our dev team, but have a very hard time getting candidates who are anything but very junior - usually code school grads without much experience. Mid-level developers seem very tough to come by. Our CTO currently writes all of our job postings, but I'm concerned he is scaring off potential candidates with requirements like "a relentlessly positive attitude". I want to take a stab at rewriting the listing, but I'm struggling a little on specifics to focus on that will do a better job at getting the attention of the right people.
When I wrote my original comment I was this >< close to proactively responding to the top gear crap that every fanboy seems to think was handed down from god.

Top gear is automotive themed entertainment not a documentary. Anyone who has ever worked on cars knows this. You can bet there was a lot of off camera hackery to get the truck running each time. It didn't just drive away.

I used to pull these trucks (well, all sorts of vehicles) apart for a living. If you pulled the same stunt 10x with 90s Hiluxes and 90s Rangers you'd have more Rangers driving away in one piece because they have a better (taller web specifically) frame and that was the the weak point (at least in topgear's test it was).

Pretty much, the answer to this kind of thing is unions. The employer is going to feel free to treat you like a replaceable cog to be run over speed until the teeth strip - unless enough people like you can coordinate, to force them to the negotiating table. And unless you vote for politicians who will have your back.
