Plus, just as another layer of "I don't trust this". I have to re-unsubscribe from AT&T's job search newsletter every few months because of what I assume is a new wave of recruitment emails being sent from an older mailing list. Doesn't matter how many times I unsubscribe, that backup will always have my information on it and that service only refers to that backup.

My only assumption is that Facebook is too big to properly manage that piece of specific knowledge and will delete it, but I'll still be there somewhere. Or I'll magically opt back in because of something like Messenger or whatever. Considering the news about Google circumventing their own GDPR restrictions, I just assume these companies aren't following through with any of their promises.
I see a few people on my team, who have "Don't just say hi" and [0] as their Slack status. I find it informative, and not condescending.

>“Technology has done nothing but enhance my life. But how you decide to carve out time for yourself is important,” says Nicole Loher, a 26-year-old marketing consultant for Microsoft. “There was a time when I did transition into being that obsessive with the phone and it didn’t feel that great.”
Loher is also a slow-morning devotee and she started her routine a decade ago, frequently waking at 4:30 and spending the hours up to 9 a.m. as “strictly me time.”

So she started this routine when she was 16?

> I can't think of a polite way to say "please don't just type "hi""

I feel like I've seen something similar as a general rule. If your company has any sort of internal etiquette guide for its internal communication tools, this should go there verbatim. If not, then it can still work to post it in certain places; for example, a slack channel where people ask your team questions.

If you're getting asked questions but your teammates aren't, then you are special! So just tell them directly. Even better, respond to the DM saying that for the benefit of everyone, such questions should be asked and answered in a public channel, so that others have a fighting chance of finding it with a search tool. This eliminates the "hi" problem entirely.

====================================

I love exploring new programming languages which expose me to a new paradigm or a new way of thinking. I am currently exploring Rust and made http://mypaper.vishalsodani.com using actix-web. I also made https://words.vcreation.xyz in Sanic, a python async webframework. I am planning to learn Forth in next few months.

I am hoping to work on a rust project.

This is not a very good article, there does not seem to be any actual facts in it. It seems to be a rant about something with no first hand experience or concrete exampls to back it up.

The article appears to be written by someone who is the CEO of a company that is directly competing with container industries.

Seems to be a lot of smoke generation.

Stack traces have been great at fingerprinting the issue, especially to find something on a Github issues page. And the success rate is inversely proportional to how long you have spent working on a project using that dependency. The more time you've had, the more creative ways you find to screw it up.
> What if the cable attached to the moon and then locking the other end to earth orbit alters the month's orbit?

Sorry that's functionally just not possible. More so the moon is already moving away from the Earth at a couple centimeters per year. You're not even going to slow that down.
I think you nailed it with the common interests thing. People have compared this to both college dorm living and military boarding -- but in both of those cases you're surrounded by people your age with a ton of common interests, experiences, and values.

Creating a community from a mixed bag of corporate workers is possible, but it would take a lot more work.
There are poor people in every country. Can you name a country where every single citizen has housing, enough to eat, and good health? According to you all countries must stop all spending on space programs, since the money could be used for housing, food or health.

The reality is that the amount of money spent on science is relatively miniscule, and no country can hope to advance without investing anything in science.
It goes even further than that. Building bigger rocket engines is really hard because turbo-pumps and nozzles don't scale well. Smaller rockets are exponentially cheaper to design and produce. See the RD-170 program for example: it was easier to just use 4 nozzles instead of 1 to achieve the same output.
Now I sort of want one.

I hope that the bills have to go away and that their economy can improve...
Do these types of jobs even exist anymore in tech? At least in SV, every job I've come across these days seem to require on-call and an implicit requirement to work into the night hours in order to finish your work. Not to mention super competitive teammates that don't mind working 24/7 and putting pressure on me to work even longer. I would gladly take a minimum 25% pay reduction if it meant I only needed to work 9-5pm with no obligation to answer emails or Slack messages after-hours. I would love to hear examples of companies with this type of WLB if they do exist.
FB is known to build profiles of pretty much everyone it encounters, even vicariously, ostensibly to be able to populate a new account with engaging info once they actually join.

Can I tell them to delete the records of my face that they keep even though I don't have an account?

And, of course, in all instances. will they actually expunge it from all locations in their data-universe?
I have remembered the order of arguments since I figured out that the second argument is optional. So the link name is of course optional, not the original file's one.
> It was, therefore, just a matter of time before the discovery that inverted yield curves often anticipate recessions resulted in the world’s first yield-curve induced panic

This is backwards from what I understand. It's the bond market pricing in an economic downturn (lowering of interest rates in the medium term)that inverts the yield curve. The yield curve is how the bond market "speaks". The author seems to be implying the yield curve is some kind of enigmatic, second-order effect not an explicit result of the bond markets view of the economy.
That would be a great list! Perhaps HN could make one?

In particular, some things that would be useful for me:

- product enclosures (plastic, metal, wood even?)

- fabric products (backpack? tent? blanket?)

- small metal items
No. They do this because they know if they just ask their question you'll ignore it because it's not important.

If they say "Hi" and wait for you to respond, now you're engaged and it's harder to ignore after they pose the question.

To carry your analogy further, it's more like calling someone and hanging up before they answer in order to prompt them to call back.
I definitely agree with the overall sentiment; one needs to be constantly on guard to maintain a good code base. I don't think it's just a matter of code review though. A bad team will take this "how to do a code review" and still produce bad stuff. A good team probably doesn't need "how to do a code review". The best code reviews I've participated in were more informal affairs. They're generally in person discussion rather than the distant commenting on some review platform.
What do you you expect from the data?

As a german: we have no good software to track from banking data so I just don't. I live modest and check if my account on average goes up or down (usually goes up, so all good).

I will calc an average to see how much to put in to retirement savings monthly soon.
We made the exact same experience (our company is also roughly 3.5 years old). In the beginning it was US who suggested to open a slack because we thought it would help us to resolve questions quickly. However we observed that this only incentivises to have chat discussions over topics that are better discussed and resolved in person/over Skype or via an thoroughly thought through e-mail that cuts straight to the problem.
In addition it added another communication channel we HAD to monitor from that point onwards because our clients had learned from US that we’d respond quickly, so not responding was not an option. This was especially problematic for our developers who would get disrupted way more often. In addition communication was scattered among channels which made it difficult for the PM to stay ahead.

Our lives are easier and our communication with our clients is way more productive ever since we abolished slack.
I don't get why k8s is the dominant scheduler. If you have a 3 ~ 6 person platform team that can set one up, or build a secure terraform of CFN codebase to establish an AWS/EKS system, they can be nice. But I've also worked at DCOS/marathon shops where it worked just as well.

The trouble with all these schedulers is they can't go from just one node (where scheduling and processes run on the same node .. and minikube is a hack; not a production system) to 100. You can't just setup a small k8s, and then add a node, and another node, and scale up. You go from a single docker system, to a big managed k8s system.

There needs to be more competition. It's the same deal with the dominance of systemd as the only system layer. Only the small startups seem to be using more lightweight stuff like Nomad, k3s, RancherOS (Rancher is mostly going the managed k8s solution anyway; even though they have their own k3s implementation).

A running k8s system can be okay, but there is a lot of room for improvement (in terms of making it simpler). Both DCOS and k8s seem to waste a lot of resources. Docker could have competed in this space, but everyone complained about all the bugs in Swarm and it never really went anywhere.

I did a writeup on container orchestration systems late last year:

Of course he and his supporters have at times resorted to violence, but also it is to be remembered that he led the fight to end colonial rule in Zimbabwe, I remember during the Mandela memorial function many world leaders including Obama had made the appearance, Mugabe was the one who got the highest applause. IIRC Mandela didn't share the opinions of the western press regarding Mugabe. Perhaps it might even be said that esp the British Governments upto and including Tony Blair's didn't deal fairly with him for decades together, and that had a major role in what he eventually became.

A halting problem solver would necessarily have to be smart enough to detect state that is relevant to the completion of the program vs. not. Plus, even in this case on a real world machine x can only store as much state at the underlying type. So if it's a 32 bit int then you can absolutely prove the algorithm does not halt after only 4 billion iterations, but even before that you can simply note the lack of exit conditions from the loop to show that it never terminates.

However clever you are, the halting problem program has to be even more clever by definition. But we don't have an upper bound on cleverness, so the halting problem program has to be infinitely clever, hence my previous point about it being able to solve all of mathematics.
No it would actually have no effect... Again your numbers are vastly out of scale.

> How many threads have been posted on HN complaining about things that take programmers out of their state of "flow"? How many programmers have you met who are happy to hear their phone ring when they're working?

Those are what the true interruptions are about. A notification? I'm sorry, but after less than a month one learns how not to let a simple sound or notification distract you. Constant phone ringing is a true interruption; one ringing loop? Not so much.

> 2-3 years studded with bouts of lost productivity is a lot of lost productivity. A product that tells me my life is "only" going to suck for 2-3 years while I learn how to use it is not a product I am going to be thrilled to use.

Handling interruptions is about not letting them make you lose much productivity, but after all, this is for true interruptions. They will affect you, but there are ways to lessen the effect. If people allow other people to constantly interrupt them without setting clear boundaries/priorities, it's your (or your Manager) problem. I usually set things in the clear from the beginning, and after two or three times, it'll never happen again. But again, these are true interruptions: Some are necessary, and those which are not can be handled better.
Ask HN: How do websites such as Waynabox, Flykube or Randombox work?

How do such websitest work? Do they just search for cheap flights and hotels and book them manually or do they have an algorithm for autobooking the flights and hotels?

The word "conspiracy" is often used to avoid talking about general motives of individual actors that lead to some emergent behavior. It's basically a combination of an ad-hominem (claiming unreasonable paranoia) and straw man (the high bar of some secretive cabal meeting).

Even before rising to the level of explicit policy, existing residents are generally against new development because it will eg take away open space they've come to take for granted. I actually just had the pleasure of observing a town meeting over environmental concerns for a new development, and one abutter shamelessly asserted the area would be better kept as park (completely out of the scope of this commission). Of course the real answer for how to control adjacent land is to buy it (possibly communally), and then enact your will, but a whole host of issues makes this unwieldy in the US.
Yes, thank you. Practical significance. You cannot get away with just running statistical test or deep learning models. You often need to ask whether a change in product, service or process to take advantage of some trend or difference between customers segment will actually be worth doing. That involves getting your hands dirty in the business, trying to identify all the costs and side-effects of a change, and then how much of a size effect you will actually capture once the changes are made.

It's different for a consultancy that's revenue-positive very quickly, as opposed to a startup burning VC cash. If you want to build a sustainable lifestyle business as opposed to making an exit, then it requires a different mindset.

This sounds like a pretty bad idea. Putting radioactive material into space orbiting the earth would be pretty dangerous, and getting something from earth's orbit to the sun is not easy. I think the risk of an accident under this plan would be way higher than our current plans.
They were already using lighter weight Makarov pistols before the TP-82, and switched to the combo gun after some cosmonauts spent the night in the Siberian wilderness and thought a small semi-auto pistol wasn't enough. But, yeah, running out of qualified ammo likely just supplied the impetus to re-evaluate the necessity of the TP-82.

More interesting is the laser pistol the USSR attempted to design for cosmonauts to carry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_laser_pistol
That sounds way more dangerous than just burying it in the ground. An accident in space spreads radioactive materials over some part of the Earth almost at random. An accident in a buried site stays mostly contained, with the biggest danger being contaminated groundwater.
Project Borealis also looks promising!
Mr. Roberts, I appreciate your time.

My wife is a US citizen and I only have a US tourist visa. We want to move stateside. As her earnings for the last 3 years do not qualify her as a single sponsor, we wanted to use cash assets. How do we show proof of cash, and what are the stipulations? Is it a bank statement from my bank in my home country, do we have to deposit it in a bank in the US? Is there a time stipulation of how long the account has to be opened prior? I understand that my salary doesn't count, although it would meet the requirements.

> most of us have seen managers try to improve quarterly numbers at the expense of company health

Yep, this does happen. The point though, is to let shareholders rather than managers decide if this is a good choice. If managers are sacrificing the long-term health of the company, shareholders can vote them out or choose to sell their stake.

This is one of the downsides of the rise of passive investing and ETFs based on market cap - less votes are going into the system and holding people accountable.
