Ask HN: Should you volunteer for a 'ticket' or should it be assigned?
Curious on your thoughts for this one...

Imagine a 'daily stand up' scenario. Part of which is looking at tickets that have been raised against your team since the last stand up.

People discuss it all on a high level. And then it goes quiet until the same usual one or two people begrudgingly claim ownership of the ticket.

Alternatively, someone would assign the ticket to someone best suited for the request, with consideration of their current workload and so on.

Which of those options would work best for you? Or is there another option?
I inherited the desire to buy American cars to support America workers from my Uncle would was a WWII vet. He didn't like Japanese products (he was in the Pacific theatre). I've been buying American cars for the last 20+ years and currently own a GM. I think the next one I buy will be Japanese or German and it's ironic. While I spent my money on American cars to support American workers, the American companies offshore their manufacturing / assembly to Mexico while foreign companies who sell cars in the US use domestic labor for manufacture / assembly.

So it seems like if you want to support American workers, you should buy foreign cars that manufacture / assemble in the US. That's certainly unintuitive.
Ask HN: switching from mobile dev to Go and distributed systems
Hi,

I’m a senior iOS developer and I’m considering to switch my skills towards Golang, distributed systems and backend development.

I already have some foundation on Go. Where to go from there?
You might be thinking that the majority of Chinese are constantly under the fear of being monitored. The reality is people don't care and use VPN all the time. You might've heard people get in trouble using VPN in China. Many of you assume that's the norm. At least for now it's not. It would be like people from other countries heard there are shootings in U.S. schools and assume there are shootings in every U.S. school every day.
Blockchain already replaced databases, money, software, fluorescent light, dolphins, and cheese. I can’t think of any reason it can’t replace everything.

The Nobels used to be elite but I think more and more are seen as out of touch and behind the times. Theyre only awarded to people who are already very, very famous. They've ceased lifting and now are content to coronate/free ride.

Look at prizes which honor younger/more diverse awardees: MacArthur, Breakthrough, Packard... Even the Laskar is ahead here.

That's not to mention their history of awarding for the right science but the wrong people. Usually, the older/whitier/male-r/famous-r people.

Good riddance!
I can see anti-consumer and pro-consumer at the same time. Over the recent years I've perceived Apple as being more and more anti-consumer, for consumers that are developers or graphic artists, and pro-consumer if you are a non-developer/non-graphic artist. This is regrettable, especially since devs and graphic artists were among their original consumer base that helped get them where they are today.

You weren't kidding at all.

After spending more time than I'd care to admit searching for the library, I couldn't find traces of it anywhere on google, ddg, or bing. I relented and digged whatever information I could find in my history.

Revisiting these projects, it's painfully obvious that I have jumbled a few projects together. Sincere apologies for the unintended goose chase.

This project [1] is the one that introduced the `--_completion` flag. It registers itself as a default completion function, but blindly and dangerously tries to run any command it gets with this flag. (This project is completely de-indexed from search engines and I'm not sure why).

Like [1], project [2] registers itself as a default completion function, but checks the first 1024 bytes for the magic string "PYTHON_ARGCOMPLETE_OK". It seems to be relying on argparse for completion.

I couldn't manage to find the project that was scanning elf sections. I'm not entirely sure if it was relying on elf sections specifically or if the fact that it was scanning elf sections was only an implementation detail.

There is also BBVA's Mirrorgate that was inspired by Hygieia. It looks like Hygieia has been split out from Capital One and more connectors are being produced to make it usable by people who have other tools beyond just what they use.

Instagram is pretty much the reason 99% of the females even scale the GFW.

Generally they hate talking about politics, and actively avoid the "smears" outside the GFW.

That's why the recent pro-China posters are often deemed bots for being inactive or new, they don't like Twitter coz it's full of fake news and smears to them.
> This shapes a lot of current politics, such as language policing or the whole 'pronouns' issue

And then there are languages entirely without any concept of grammatical gender or gendered pronouns, such as my native Hungarian. So the controversy doesn't carry over easily to Hungary, at least not in the same form. Of course someone may explicitly use words like "woman" or "boy" in the unpreferred way, but you don't have spend extra effort to be neutral/ambiguous. This also makes translation quite difficult, when a writer relies a lot on he/she to mark who is speaking in a conversation between a man and a woman. In such cases the translator has to sprinkle in the names to better keep track of who's speaking.

Somewhat unrelated but does anyone know why there isn't a basic open source local-file MP3 player for iOS? I can't seem to find one (all of the ones on the app store are either scummy looking or "radio" players) -- does Apple block competitors to Apple Music?

I've considered building a simple open source MP3 player for iOS (which has no baked in ties to any other radio services or online services), but surely the reason one doesn't exist is because it would never pass review or is against Apple's ToS somehow?

Nope, not recent. I’ve been using it for about nearly a year and it’s supported multiple users the whole time. Not sure what OP is referring to.

Edit: I should note, I’m talking about Bitwarden_rs. Maybe the official one doesn’t? That’s be strange though given it supposedly the same one the hosted version is running with a license lock on some features.
In the corporate world, probably not. Pensions obligations just look like debt on the balance sheet... but they have high administrative overhead. Further, there is the risk that life expectancy will continue to grow... thus making those liabilities much larger.

In government... I don't think pensions ever went out of fashion. Why bother when you can always just print more money?
Well Italian has some exceptions in pronunciation too, for example "gli" and "agli" sounds the same but "glicine" does not.

I do subscribe to the "music enjoyed during your formative/more emotionally-intense years tends to imprint on you" theory...

...but at least for me, the combo of ubiquitous instrument/vocal quantizing and loudness-war compression really does turn me off to much of modern pop music.

Still, that may just be because it doesn't sound like the stuff I had already "trained my model" of good music on. I prefer a little bit of swing in my drums compared to playing to a grid. I like albums that sound like people playing in a room rather than people plugged into a DAW.

But I also don't have any logical reason why one is better than the other. To someone else, the more "perfect" alignment of quantized beats and vox may sound better than the "sloppy" stuff I like.
Also - aren't the roaming agreements mean we get the lower tranch of quality connections / data? I always figured they would choose their own customers over roaming customers.
They’re a means of “controlling the code monkeys.” Everyone knows this. (Except the naive devs who have bought into “agile.”)
While this one does have a date right near where I'd expect it (somewhere near the article title), I do agree with your point in general.

For me that's a good indication that the site is some kind of content farm, probably with articles written by people who aren't credited by name, and the whole thing is a waste of time.
I strongly disagree. The question was do cars and trucks cover the cost of infrastructure. The answer is that they clearly do. When I see someone claim otherwise, I'll just pipe in with the truth.

If you want to talk about externalities, you have to have a clear-eyed analysis of both positive and negative externalities. It's a very difficult analysis, because they both total in the trillions of dollars. I'd welcome a well researched scientific paper on the subject.
You nailed exactly what I was going for. Less fluff, just the nuts and bolts.

Thanks for the input and advice :)
Maybe, that's a good point. At the same time, we often change our language in other circumstances already, for example, there's a difference how I speak to my grandmother, friends, boss or partner.
In college, some friends and I learned a little bit of Esperanto just for the sake of it. It was amazing how fast we learned it and were able to have simple conversations.

However, it’s a mainstream idea that artificial languages are always going to fail because geographically separated people will create dialects and “ruin” the language. It’s a bummer, because Esperanto is really useful (and there might be other artificial languages even better!).
Yes. I am wondering what will happen when an app is submitted for notarisation and the app is in competition with an Apple created application. Will there be bias? Based on the stories I've read regarding App Store approvals and take-downs, it's a valid concern.

There are also practical considerations, like voting taking place on a work day.
The author wasn’t arguing against a common language. He was arguing against English being that language.
I use a catch-all subdomain (like *@something.mydomain.com) that simply forwards to my main account. I then sign up on sites using something like news.ycombinator.com@something.mydomain.com or hackernews@something.mydomain.com.

I've been doing it since ~2001. The only downside is long e-mail addresses, but my password manager deals with that for the most part.

Subdomain is important, otherwise you get dictionary-style spam email attacks (as well as everything coming to whoever owned the domain before you, if anyone). I've never noticed that style of attack to the sub-domain.

I've also got very little actual spam to this. A handful of e-mail addresses were obviously leaked/sold but by far the bulk of the spam I get comes to my primary e-mail address which I never use to sign up for anything.
Using interval arithmetic and interval analysis, constraint solving can be extended to continuous problems. This seems first to have been done in the 80s by extending Prolog. As you say, most constraint software does not do this, but I vouch that it both exists and works!

I wrote a relational interval constraint solver for automated CAD design. It used constraints to eliminate infeasible regions of a design space before a nonlinear solver would generate the actual geometry. It was pretty fun puzzling out how to build this thing!
And that's a legitimate complaint, and one I have as well (though my issue is less with not allowing sideloading and more with the pretty high barrier to entry to the only official distribution method. I'd be pretty much okay with being unable to sideload apps on iOS, but having a free and more lax tier of the App Store for hobbyists (somewhat akin to Youtube's unlisted videos or Qt's licensing).
Yep, and talking more slowly with more simplistic language can feel "patronising" to the listener, which is dumb really, because it's being considerate to them.

"What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?"

The fact that tax revenue from cars & trucks pay for the cost of their infrastructure is true regardless. IF you want to analyze externalities, please by all means, take a tally of all positive and negative and show me the balance.
This is an absurd view to hold. English accepts an extremely wide range of pronunciations for almost all words, allowing it to be easily used (ironically) as a linuga franca.

Re: 'That's just how it's pronounced' --> In your regional dialect of the language, which can probably still be understood, with >99% certainty, by anyone else in the world who is also a native speaker, and probably by almost anyone who speak English as a second language...

If you want a phonetic English, you'd need an alphabet with about 40 characters in it. And for what gain exactly...?

And suddenly dialects are writing the same word completely differently, because the sounds are different..

CAUTION

I am not a doctor, but I want to caution against blindly taking supplements like this.

DEHA is a steroid hormone. These are key components of signalling networks in your body, and they can up or down regulate many different things. It could definitely be pro-cancer [1]

Niagen is a precursor to NAD+. Screwing with the NAD+ metabolism might promote cancer [2]

There seems to be good concensus on CoQ10. It may not have an associated cancer risk (I couldn't find any literature), but it may lower blood pressure and that should be carefully considered [3]

Please do your homework and ask your doctor before taking any of these. There are pros and cons and a whole lot of uncertainties.

There are only ten widgets for sale.

So it's not really "why not include the 11th in the winner," it's "why charge the 11th bid and not the 10th?" I think the reason is that everyone feels like they have a good chance of it going for less than they bid (and so they feel happy), but it probably also incentives higher bids.

A lot of roms require you to use TWRP as a recovery. So that's where you get your recovery.

Most ROMs are based off of either AOSP or lineage. The list of unofficially supported devices is huge. Since, most devices share the same SOC's they're usually just forked off of each other with gradual tweaks. The Sony open device project is semi supported by sony but doesn't share any code with the stock images.

So, that really just leaves the bootloader. How much attack surface does the boot rom actually provide? I feel like most vendors would probably just assume a backdoored system or boot partition. Your boot rom would have to accommodate for all kinds of potential Android versions. It sounds like a lot of effort for a corner case so not really worth the effort.

> If you took away the community entirely, would it be any less useful?

so for a while, due to strange quirk of circumstance, i had the inside track of a profitable adult website. it was your standard “streaming adult videos, no ads, charge hefty subscription” model. one morning the ceo says let’s do community. everyone’s going social. lets have blogs, message board, the whole shebang. Announcement made with much fanfare. The idiot audience thought community means they could talk to their favorite pornstar :) once the ceo clarifies that no, community doesn’t mean that, they turn on him like a pack of wolves. what do you mean, you want us to talk to each other ?! like random perv from oklahoma should message arbitrary perv from cleveland about which vid gets him off ? wtf ?!! the poor ceo’s got his back to a wall. he says, we’ll be the world’s largest adult community. the peeps are like, dude, largest community of pervs ? fbi will have a ball. half of us are scared our employer or our spouse or worse, teenage son hacks into our account. now you want us to have wacky avatars & actually talk to each other on a messageboard so whatever we say persists for posterity ? it quickly went downhill from there. they brought in a moderator, sort of like dang. he was supposed to police the crowds & tamp down on contentious disagreement. but hardly anybody participated, so they had to broaden dang’s role. so now everytime a video was posted, poor dang would have to watch the whole video and make insightful comments like “lady featured in this clip at 7:15 is the same lady in that other clip at 9:20” and so on. soon he became an encyclopedia of porn trivia. people actually started showing up on the community board just to poke fun of his wide acumen.
Around that time i quit. But it was quite the experience. Community can be a major hassle.
