I have heard that fathers with daughters make for a very tough jury in rape cases.

Generally speaking, if you want to nail a rapist to the wall, you should fill it with middle aged men, whether they have children or not, and actively avoid women.

Middle aged men remember what Randy jerks they were capable of being. Even if they have no daughters, they have mothers, sisters, wives or girlfriends and they want their women protected.

Women will say to themselves "I wouldn't have worn that outfit/gone to that bar/been in that part of town after dark." Women will try to convince themselves it was somehow the victim's fault so they can feel safe and in control of their lives.

Or so I've read.
> There are no plucky garage shops or "wise crowds" making FPGA tools that are even in the same galaxy as ISE or Vivado.

Symbiotic EDA comes to mind. However, I would argue they don't need to be great, just good.

I don't have a copy of Vivado to hand (I have an Altera dev board instead), but I can take PicoSoC with Yosys/nextpnr and have a bitstream in about a minute. If I try the same task in Quartus, that takes about five minutes. Producing a (relatively) inefficient bitstream actually speeds up the compile/run cycle in that scenario.

If the design meets timing, which is often decided by external factors, any extra time spend trying to make the design "better" is wasted time.
Ask HN: What are some high quality Linux theme resources?
To make a long story short, I'm done with my MacBook Pro. The keyboard is terrible; and there isn't enough ram.

I ordered a Lenovo X1 Extreme G2 with 64GB ram.

I haven't ran Linux personally since Stage 1 Gentoo. I wasted so much time making that thing "cool."

I'm actually excited to hack around back in that world again. Any resources that exist for the higher end of aesthetics? What's the latest on window managers these days? Best terminal?

Thanks!
It reads like a hit piece to get people to switch away from Edge in case they think it's the same thing as IE. Everyone still calls it "IE", even though they're referring to Edge.
If you prefer a computer with a non-functional keyboard buy an iPad
It would not be good form to post this.
"The employees tried to be the C.E.O’s friends, but we were not his friends. He shut down our ideas and belittled us in private meetings; he dangled responsibility and prestige, only to retract them inexplicably. We regularly brought him customer feedback, like dogs mouthing tennis balls, and he regularly ignored us. He was expensive to work for: at least two of my co-workers met with therapists to talk through their relationship with him."

This article is accurate but barely scratches the surface of how cruel he was to his employees.
or you know... patch it :-P

the patch is out there already you know.
> I just don’t look back [at school] and think “wow, there was a lot of wasted time there”

I can’t edit that post, but I want to add...

I DO look back the majority of coding jobs I’ve had in the Bay Area, and do very much think “wow, there’s a lot of wasted time there.”

Half or more of my time as a pro coder is spent undoing work I just did because the task wasn’t specced correctly, deciphering someone else’s bug because they merged it and left the office, dealing with the same broken infrastructure over and over because new features are always more important, building something that some Dir. Eng. wants, but is totally unproven and won’t matter to any metrics, etc.

I’m not passing the buck here, one of the main goals of my career is to become a better countervailing force to that stuff. But I want to highlight that making it into the workforce doesn’t mean you’re automatically spending all your time doing “real work”... sometimes it’s just the opposite.

That is one thing I really appreciate about running lineageOS on Android. You can see every single code change that makes it into a given update [0].

Going by the general sentiment in that thread, I'm sure there are better examples. There are a few people saying how or why they thought Dropbox wouldn't work, but overall the reception is very positive. By contrast, any mention of WeWork here causes an instant pile-on of quite impressive vehemence.

There are always going to be isolated nay-sayers for whatever reasons. When you get a near-consensus on HN that something's a PoS that's something that's worth bearing in mind.
WSL2?
I feel like the local maximum of Gnome was in the 2.x days. Gnome has really become a truly awful environment. All of the UI is needlessly dumbed down, and the window chrome is ridiculously wasteful of space.
2 days ago keystone and the updater was pumping 100% cpu

Killing it resulted in a relaunch and 100% cpu. There is no way to stop this except for unloading the launch agent, AND launchdaemon. Removing the application and killing the instance.

The os platform providers updates.. use that instead of crafting your own malware.

How would you like it if your car suddenly has a top speed of 15mph, and no power steering, because someone wanted to update the number of radio presets.

Here in Germany we have the different IT trades you can learn on the job in combination with trade school (or the latter exclusively), as well as university level CS courses people can pursue after high school. Some people decide to do both.

Having hired and having close friends from both backgrounds, there's a vast difference in how both groups (on average of course, there's exceptions to everything) approach problems that crop up in the day to day job to the point that I'd call them almost incomparable. Note that I'm not talking about the stereotypical "there's enough bootcamp devs in the world already" type of difference, it's just that within almost the same time span (at least in the case of a bachelor's degree) both get completely different experiences that make them better at those specific aspects of the overall profession.
Things like sonos devices make constant requests to metrics servers. Pi-hole drops that shit in a bottomless pit.
The crux of the argument is still there, and the point is still clear. This just feels a bit nitpicky to me.
How the invention of the book changed how people read
You are ignoring price point. Small FPGA board from Digilent costs as much as Raspberry Pi 4 4 GB. Development on Raspberry Pi is much more convenient, it is powerful and it already has decent CSI-2, 4K HDMI, Ethernet. Comparable FPGA board goes for hundreds $/€. Because decent CSI-2 with high frame rate and resolution as well as 4K HDMI need decent FPGA with transceivers. Add long hardware development cycles and this gets really boring really fast for most hobbyists.
Unbridled praise of any large corporation on HN is an invitation to accusations of fanboyism. Prefacing the comment with some sort of deprecation has become a cultural element of immune response to flamewars on HN.
Maybe provide some evidence of this, I've also understood them as syntactic sugar for Promises.

Although I have found that babel does seem to transpile them differently to Promises
... so you say that "A whole lot of this BS is rooted in the idea that a woman's sexuality is a prize to be won by ... a man who earns enough to take care of her," and you'll entertain the idea that it comes from women more than men, but you want to justify it by saying "women need a man's income to not be dirt poor."

Do you realize how poor of an argument that is? Even reading "most women need men's income" as a legitimate statement just makes me cringe.

I really hope you don't carry this attitude and entitlement to your job perspectives, because I wouldn't want to imagine that you're missing such a glaring red flag.
Yes: they are different.
I would not be surprised if Apple releases a solid state keyboard with chiseled glass keys, haptic feedback for key presses, and an oled screen underneath.

It seems like the conclusion to their “Taptic” engine, touchbar, and pressure sensitive touchscreens R&D.
Hopefully, they've turned a corner on that philosophy. The new iPhone 11 Pro is slightly thicker than last year's model, to make room for a bigger battery and other components. Perhaps they can apply this change of priorities to the MacBook Pro line. As well, Jony Ive is gone, off to start his own independent design consultancy — a fine time to break the focus on 'thinner at all costs'.

My wish would be to see a return to a nice keyboard that feels good to type on, an option to omit the Touch Bar from high end MacBook Pro models, and the option for an Nvidia GPU. Otherwise, my next MacBook Pro will be a decked out 2015 model.
What are business analysis benefits?
Idgi, I used Macs for 10 years until the end of last year working as a Linux sysadmin/Devops kinda workflows and WSL is good enough

I prefer my Mac with iTerm etc etc but I still work with WSL just as well today
One of the most painful types of people to work with is the CEO / founder who got lucky with a product early and came to believe they're a "product guy".

As in: My early product hit whatever trend / wave / need therefore I must be a product guy (and not just lucky).

The product guy has a preternatural ability to understand what the masses want. Watching them work -- witnessing their process -- is something to behold. They will steer products in a direction regardless of cost, complexity of likely outcome.

The outcome, quite often, is to tank their company. Since they don't understand why they were successful in the first place, it's very likely that their success won't last.

But if you're along for the ride, wow, expect the following:

1. You're the greatest (available) engineer we've ever encountered, building super-complicated XYZ is going to take this company to the next level!

2. This is taking much longer than expected and isn't matching up with our expectations but I'm 100% sure of my vision because I'm a product guy.

3. We're running out of money (because the market conditions that gave us early success have changed) and super-complicated XYZ isn't going to rescue us -- because you're a worthless piece of shit of an engineer!

See what happened there?

They're sometimes hard to distinguish from a vanilla bullshit artist. The bullshit artist will tell you how well capitalized he is, tell you he only wants the best (meaning he thinks you're expensive) and then try to slowly whittle your sense of self worth down until you get "the offer":

The offer is game-changing, life-altering for you: Instead of continuing to pay you with money, they're going to start paying you with magic pixie dust. The magic pixie dust will make you rich "when everything comes together."

When you tell bullshit artist that you don't work for magic pixie dust, that's when you learn that, in fact, you're a worthless piece of shit of an engineer.

I actually respect the bullshit artist more: They're bullshitting other people but they know they're full of shit. Product guys, depressingly, bullshit themselves.
Gonna go out on a limb here and say that anyone still using IE isn't going to be persuaded away from it by a fancy blog post.

There was a legendary cardiologist at my medical school who predicted his own demise, took a Holter monitor home with him one night, wired himself up, went to sleep, never woke up, and left his colleagues with the 12-lead trace of his death.
The specific language you are looking for here is "indications for use". The way the FDA works, you cannot advertise (even directly) a medical device for a usage you have not indicated in your filing and backed up with the required evidence. The level and type of evidence will depend on the type of filing and claims. A medical professional can advise for a different use (called "off label") but you, as the device developer, cannot even hint at it.

Aside: as others note, though, you can't really detect heart attacks well from something this simple.
I don't read that as an attempt to justify at all, it's expressed as a statement of a sad reality for a lot of people, with lamentation.

Because it's reasonable. You cannot disprove what has no evidence, and why should you look for it, other than normal single good science "college try" check? It's a great way to waste time.

If the concept is not obvious, the onus is even more on the person bringing it up. Otherwise we'd still have physics running on phlogiston, and medicine on leeches as everyone explored irrelevant ideas.
That was the only class available for several terms that would satisfy the degree requirement. Interestingly enough, that was the only class that was available every term while the others were not.

Even more interesting, they never mentioned Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and his work, The Gulag Archipelago. Everything was painted through rose colored glasses. Pretty disgusting. Thankfully we have a home where education is deemed important. My son had already read many of the classics before going through college and was well equipped to deal with an ideologically biased situation. He also read some of Gulag Archipelago and knew the history of that work.

I recommended he be practical about this class. He did the work, wrote a bullshit paper, got an A and then proceeded to vomit. No harm done.
people are scary :(

The author illustrates how easy it is to be clueless about how long things should take with his parenthetical about how trivial it is to make a Wix website. Yes, you can get the “used sailboat” class of website in Wix in an hour, but that’s probably not what you need or had in mind. The fact that the tool seems to do so much of the work for you will arguably just make the expectations even more unreasonable.

The problem being, RCTs are tricky to set up for social variables to have enough statistical power, while avoiding the "test bias" which is known to change behavior. (Essentially a kind of placebo effect.) It has to be huge.

And how do you produce a social placebo to detect such effects by comparison? No treatment is not the same as known fake treatment.

In fact, even the observational study here is quite underpowered and not multicultural. It is to be taken with a few bags of salt.
You can just run any old DNS server with IPs that you can only access if you also happen to be on a particular ZeroTier network. Route 53 works.

The tricky part of ZT-only DNS would probably be making it work for more than one network at once. So you couldn't send all DNS to one place that serves *.myzt.example.com and recursively resolves anything else, because it wouldn't know about myzt-2.example.com.

Edit: a Route 53 map of your network may be easier to achieve if you use the terraform provider, which I have let languish for a while and should probably give to someone else to maintain (ZT people -- want to take it on? You've got Go expertise now!): https://github.com/cormacrelf/terraform-provider-zerotier

It "works" but an actual mouse pointer would have been much better for normal users. The accessibility feature is unfortunately not actually what people who want mouse support actually want.
It’s not. It’s just providing some hooks.

I’m looking forward to iPadOS. All the heaven from iOS in terms of sandboxing and no background tasks (except very well defined).

Also Catalina afaik will make an os partition which cannot be tampered with.
Agreed, my biggest gripe as well. Oh well, I still use it and love it cause it's awesome.

It is a good practice to not view results as 100% definitive and be willing to revise your ideas in the light of disconfirming observations — just not in the light of disconfirming stories.

You feel alienated from your computer because there has been a conscious decision to take away options and user control in modern software. And I get why that decision has been made, even if I hate it as much as you and every other computer enthusiast.

For 90% of people, they have always "felt alienated" from their computers. They didn't understand what was happening or why things changed either, and it was easy to get yourself into trouble if you didn't know what you were doing and were trying to figure out how to fix something.

So companies decided to make their software have fewer options, and do more things automatically, without asking the user to have to make a choice. They don't give the users an option to customize, so they don't have to worry about those customizations causing breakage.

For advanced users this is crippling, but there are a lot more of them than there are of us, so they are going to be catered to.
It would be fine in the 1995 version of the internet where a page served up content plus a banner ad. I might click, I might not. But now we're faced with privacy invasion, tracking, data-collection, TVs that output tones during ads that our phones pick up and report back to advertisers, pages that are slow and unreadable because the ads have taken over more real estate than the content. The list goes on, and it's not a trade we agreed to.

Anti-patterns designed to trick us into clicking, signing up, giving up more data, view another few seconds of ads. It never ends! So yeah, we block it. I don't feel sorry. If you don't think it's ethical then you're not paying attention to what's really going on. I used to go around installing Firefox for people before it was called that. Then adblockers, and now I go to people's houses and help them with a raspberry pi loaded with pi-hole. Fuck ads. Fuck that entire industry. And fuck everyone that works in that industry enabling them.
Ray Kroc actually said this. It's not just a meme; it's canon.
I don't even think it's bugs that Linux desktops have a problem with. The Linux desktop is really only good if you are a hacker and don't give any thought to tasteful design or coherent usability.

Pardon the wild analogy but I think it says something about this era. Star Wars 7 and 8 were already sold cheaper than the original movies on Youtube movies.

I think aggregate tracking is interesting because it can be informative without violating privacy. For example, for a sales or pitch deck it might be interesting to see if certain slides captures a lot of attention or don't resonate at all. But I don't like individual tracking where it feels like someone is looking over my shoulder while I view a deck. I don't like that Superhuman did that kind of tracking by default, either.
I’ve gotten plenty of requests like this:

‘we just need a rough estimate, we won’t hold you to it’.

‘Ok based on the 2 minute conversation we just had I think about 3 months’

‘What! That seems way too long’

Other times I’ve been asked for estimates on features even though there is a hard deadline due to some external factor. I really fail to see the point of estimating anything when there is already a decided upon end date. Anyway I usually point out that they will need to just put the features in order of importance and I’ll work down the list. And they should start thinking about what can be cut. This usually leads to protests of ‘we have already cut everything we can’. But I have to laugh as we get closer to the deadline that suddenly not every feature is as important as was originally thought and magically get cut.
FWIW, that link does some weird stuff to the charts for me.
> That said, it feels like public schools (which are actually private... why this silly naming?)

Because of the nine originally-charity schools investigated by the Clarendon Commission, they weren't the two that established that they had constitutions guaranteeing their private character which made them immune to the kind of publicly-directed reorganization the other seven were subjected to under the Public Schools Act. That is, they are "public" in the sense that their basic organization was redirected by the State to correct problems found by a government investigation.

I setup a tape drive for my lab backup and in paper it was straightforward- we got a tape drive from Newegg for a few thousand bucks, put it in a machine, realized we needed some pci card, got it, realized we needed some cable, got it, realized we needed some custom drivers for some reason, got it, and then finally it was working. Started getting some tapes and backing up. Overall would not recommend unless you have hundreds of terabytes that you wanna backup yourself
