Crashplan for Small Business. Not the cheapest, but with the amount of backup data I have it's roughly as expensive as Wasabi with some backup program (e.g. Cloudberry), and in my experience Crashplan just works. I transitioned from Crashplan Home to Crashplan for Small Business and was able to keep my archive.

IMHO, the most important thing about backup is that it always backs up everything. Too many applications and setups fail silently.
Transporter – Upload Content to Apple
Great points, the pendulum is still swinging so I expect more and more pro-remote content in the coming years.

I personally prefer mostly remote work, but I think it's much harder to pull off - there are no play books on how to do it and if you don't do it from the start it becomes exponentially more difficulty to execute correctly.

I doubt that. When you see evaluations like "plot", "neoliberal", "cultural-marxist" etc etc, you're dealing with a heavily ideology-loaded stuff, which is by definition based on selectivity of facts (since the reality never follows ideology, reality can't be fit into ideology, and even soviet union had ideology only on paper).
I think what you are proposing is to make an ideological fight out of this issue, that is exactly what the author describes as "a huge time-drain that does not make the app better" and exactly the opposite of what he meant with "choose your battles".

Let me say that I think you're morally right, but it is probably not a reasonable choice of actions for the author and the users of the app.
understanding pointer dereferencing and its meaning is no different than understanding lazy evaluation and strict evaluation in terms of difficulty. I would argue that lazy and strict is easier a concept to understand.

The reason a lot of people think that haskell's lazy/strict behaviour is quirky is only because they are not familiar with functional programming concepts.

Nobody bats an eye when an article talks about cache lines and how you organize data in a multi-dimensional array (zig-zagging one way is faster than the alternative). But this info is just as difficult to have learnt, 'cept that as a seasoned C programmer, you would've likely to have encountered this already.
Thanks, I read it:

1) The study doesn't conclude what the parent was claiming and what you seem to think it's claiming.
2) It's only for high school students and its sample is pretty small.
3) It actually supports my point of enough sleep more than anything else which seems to be completely ignored of course.
4) Here is my evidence https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/more-on-the-phenomenal-eye-po... my sons are Success Academy.

What do you suggest I conclude from that?

5) Just saying something is science isn't enough and just saying it's science because someone did some studies isn't enough either. I read through the paper and it wasn't even close to being anything but a very small sample especially when you factor in that two different schools yielded two different results. So perhaps rather than just scream science, it would help if people took a deep breath and looked into what they hold in front of them as science cause that wasn't it.

6) I was responding to a claim about not being fully awake in the morning with a simple observation that if you go to bed early you are not going to be tired in the morning. That was then challenged with a completely new challenge which was that kids perform better when they are in school later to which I know for a fact that's not true and from the article you are referencing that's not what's being said either.

Sometimes, the vias are used as thermal bridges, it is used to draw the thermal energy away from its heat source towards a heat sink. However, I don't it is used as thermal bridges in this situation.
My experience with with most professional drivers is that they're very calm and cerebral in their driving-- deftly anticipating and avoiding accidents, finding other driver's idiocy amusing if they take any special note of it at all. They patently wait rather than taking seconds-shaving risky maneuvers because they've seen it all and know what can go wrong. They drive predictably, use their signals, etc.

So why is it that almost all my experience in taxis is that the driver seems to be a crazed maniac with a presumably diagnoseable rage disorder? They drive like their car has a bomb strapped to it that will go off if they ever yield at any point, unless they signal a temporary disarm code (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42) by pulse width modulating their horn immediately after each and every yield event. Any use of their turn signals, however, will block the transmission of the disarm sequence, so they must be used sparingly if at all. Fortunately, their cars are seemingly powered by near misses with pedestrians combined with a form of fusion, so they have little reason to yield in the first place.

This is both my experience as a passenger in these drivers vehicles as well as from sharing the road with them.

It is just that my experience with taxies is mostly in dense city areas and my experience with other professional drivers is in other places with fewer drugs in the water? Is there something about driving a large truck that magically creates more consciousnesses? Is the idea that your life flashing before your eyes repeatedly will convince you of the relative worthlessness of money and cause to to leave a larger tip?
I get more work done and work longer hours when I work from home. Meetings are a good reason to turn up to the office if you have an agenda. And maybe the odd guild or two. Or brainstorming on solutions with team mates. But this only requires you to be in the office a couple days a week max. They could get 20% more work out of me with no impact to my non work life but ...
Time for HN to branch out.. "HN Eyeballs, submit your gripe with Google, we'll show it to Googlers based on their IP address".
While "remote workers are more productive" is in the article's title, I disagree that the author is suggesting that working remotely is a necessary part of the solution. The article's subtitle is "Async isn’t just for remote teams".

I think the post makes it clear to that office workers could benefit a ton from async communication. And I agree completely. Sync communication at my previous job was such a drain on my productivity. For me, Slack made communication easier, but it made focus more difficult and work more stressful.

I think you're right that software tools can make a big difference. The author seems to be promoting its product - Twist - as a great Slack alternative. And I think it looks solid.

I think you're missing the point, it is foolish, it doesn't map to reality, but that doesn't make it maladaptive. The point here is that the maladaptive group, depressed people, see the world closer to its real state, clearly it is advantageous for humans to see the world through rose colored glasses to some degree.

I agree with you that neither is inherently superior. However, I think this with regards to the business and generating business value. If you consider the quality of love improvements, they are phenomenal for the employee.

Personally, I believe in a hybrid solution. You work remotely say 2 days of the week, and you spend rest of the time in the office. This makes sure that you get your dose of water-cooler talk, as well as having time to yourself to get things done.
As someone who has studied biology, there are lots of edge cases where it is far from clear cut what biological gender a person is.
> Nobody bats an eye when an article talks about cache lines and how you organize data in a multi-dimensional array

the vast majority of programmers won't have any idea about any of that. Arguably (not by me BTW) they don't need.

edit: also, caches are a necessity of modern (and not so modern) computer architectures, every program has to deal with them. Laziness is sort of a self inflicted weakness of Haskell.

edit2: I can't write any Haskell, but I can read a bit of it (like python, it makes for excellent pseudocode I think). Sometimes I fail to understand how some algo could possibly work, but then 'ah, right, laziness'. I'm sure it comes natural after a while, but it is definitely a barrier.

Why do you find this story scary? It seems like a sensible way for a political party to get votes: profile your current supporters, find other people who fit that profile, convince those people to vote for you too.

As for Russian interference, the article you linked to says this: "The Russian meddling that German state security had been anticipating apparently never materialized. Instead, the foreign influence came from America."
Why am I not surprised?

The world is really going down right now and just following news what's going on is reason enough to cry like a baby or lose it completely.

That's one of the main reasons why many people take drugs - it helps to forget what's happening around us and it makes us numb enough to stop feeling the constant pain when we think about the things happening to our brothers and sisters who aren't lucky enough to be born in the right place, to have the right parents or live in the "right" place etc.

Too much information on how the people are screwed every minute may be reason enough to be depressed if you don't shut those thoughts out in the long run.
If getting a better understanding of exactly how Kubernetes network is of interest, I'd also recommend this episode of TGIK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhbJ3ll4usI

In general actually, I've found TGIK really useful in improving my understanding of the underpinnings of k8s. They have a load of deep dive episodes that focus on a specific part of the solution and generally have a load of hands-on examples.
I think optimism is a kind of personal thing—you can't always tell its level by observing someone. I think optimistic cynicism is a thing.

PS in psychology they have a concept called appropriate affect. Its kind of the opposite of cognitive dissonance.
Exactly this. I see this as "Simplest possible C code beats carefully hand optimized Haskell".
It’s easy when work gets completed. I would hire anyone remotely or let them play games at work if work is done. It is more difficult when we think their work in average or has a lot of defects. Then, the contract is for them to put in the required hours with decent concentration, and they have fulfilled their part in a measurable way that satisfies the manager. And truth be told, if their work were perfect, they would be promoted.

So, home office for senior developers with awesome productivity only?
Network is now outpacing single core performance.

The same 25 Gbps claimed by the article can be achieved with a single-threaded ZeroMQ socket. That thread will be CPU bound. To break 25 Gbps, multiple I/O threads need to be engaged.

There are already greater than 100 Gbps network links while single-core speed has stagnated for many years. Multi-threaded or multi-streamed (like in the article) solutions are needed to saturate modern network links.
It works very well when you need a clear documented interface for communication. It will not work on a culture which demands more facetime.

And more often, the answer is somewhere in between, and it's hard to generalize.
I find people who look at the world thru "shit colored goggles" tend to be self defeating and will often convince themselves it won't work before starting.
If another person's internal mental state isn't visible, so we have to work it out from things that are visible, there might be a wide range of possible guesses and so being optimistic or pessimistic might produce very different results.

There is no need for an ideological fight, because there is no written Google Play policy against donation links in apps. This is most likely a mistake made by the reviewer or an automated system, and I believe they should follow up on it to sort things out.
Disagree 100%. “just talk directly to people” reads to me like an ill-informed tactic that allows all our worst habits to run amok. Studying these techniques and making them habitual is the key to a kinder, more thoughtful, and even more effective and productive teamwork experience.

I had a coworker who addressed my team about some difficulty they were having collaborating with us. They spoke directly, telling us we needed to get our act together and stop making half-baked requests. They were visibly angry and contemptuous. We all became much more fearful about talking to that person.

The next couple of days I heard they went on an apology tour. But I got skipped because I was on vacation. My rational self was fine with that, knowing stuff happens. But my emotional self responded with a knee jerk fear response when I walked into a room with that person. It’s an extra bit of stress I had to manage.

If this person practiced NVC I would not have had that experience.

Show HN: A responsive react charting library with a hand-drawn style
"I don’t think there exists a language where it’s enough to learn the surface language in order to write optimized code."

Good news, there is indeed such a language: Fortran. Modern Fortran syntax is similar to Python (but without indentation restrictions) and the compiler generates wicked fast machine code.
"The other reason you couldn't say "char sui tsa sui" is that "char sui" (correctly, "char siu") is from Cantonese, but "tsa sui" is from Mandarin, so you can't really use them together"

That's true. I guess what makes Haskell stand out to me is that at this point it's fairly clear that the assertion is mostly wrong (i.e. idiomatic Haskell is not faster than idiomatic C at most algorithmic tasks, and often significantly slower) and instead of doing the reasonable thing and saying "additional safety and expressiveness is more important than raw performance for most applications" (something I'd completely agree with personally) they double-down with these meaningless, unfair benchmarks.

Meanwhile Rust is genuinely competitive with C performance-wise and thanks to generics and things like more aggressive inlining can actually equal or even beat C without requiring esoteric micro-optimizations. Of course the drawback is that writing Rust code is significantly more complicated and more restrictive.
The original code can end with index = 0 as well. The only difference is that in the optimized code, it will write to index 0, whereas in the original it will not.

In the technical sense, Idon’t agree with your claim that “human [produced] machines aren’t anywhere near close to being as efficient as biological machines”. Perhaps you meant that sometimes the least costly way of performing work for some task involves utilizing a biological process.

On the other, hand I do agree that we should stop killing whales (and perhaps there is now another reason to stop as well).
I guess this boils down to what is my goal. Here's two plausible goals from my perspective. I go to DDG and ask for it to give me a sample of some sources from which I could find the weather. This is a traditional search. Or, I could go to DDG and ask it for the current weather. This is what I really want.

There's no scenario in which I already know which weather source I want to use, memorize its ! command, navigate to DDG, then enter that ! command. That's too many jumps. If I want the weather from weather underground or whatever, why would I ever go to DDG to start with?

I had a car break-in a couple of months ago, I went to the police and I have never received a feedback nor anyone moved an inch to try to help me to recover my items at that time, I did not even that this possibility would result in anything. Seems that nobody really cares about car break-in and about stolen phones on the region, this is why these activities are such on the rise. I can imagine that these people can steal like 10 phones a day and like 20 in a single concert easy. Basically, easy over 100 phones a month, that makes a 1 million USD business for them, these people are professionals.
True, I'll agree that going non-profit is a nightmare.

But again, what is FOSS with a donation link vs free-to-use software with pay-as-much-as-you-want.

One sounds like a non-profit while the other sounds like a for-profit.

Perhaps if you can directly show your software is FOSS via licensing etc that there should be a special exemption?

Seems like there needs to be a sole-proprietier non-profit... but man that seems like rife for abuse.

Having recently worked on implementing clipboard support in McCLIM, I can completely agree that this document is quite horrible.

In fact, it's so bad that basic functionality such as how to choose the correct encoding for text content, is not only underspecificed, but the specification that does exist is worded in such a way that unless you read the entire document, including completely separate sections, you will inevitably use the wrong encoding.

Emacs gets this completely wrong, Chrome gets it kinda wrong, and pretty much no one gets it completely right.
>understanding pointer dereferencing and its meaning is no different than understanding lazy evaluation and strict evaluation in terms of difficulty. I would argue that lazy and strict is easier a concept to understand.

Not even close. Pointer and dereference are something we do all the time in the real world (e.g. a pointer is like the semantic between word and thing) and can have easy to understand examples (the classic storage box with holds a value, and the pointer being the number of the box, etc). Still tons of programmers can't get their head around them...

Lazy/strict is far more challenging, and whereas pointers have no mystery after understanding the basic mechanism, telling how a lazy program behaves and spends memory etc is nigh impossible above a certain complexity -- heck, this is a common lament of seasoned Haskell programmers.

>Nobody bats an eye when an article talks about cache lines and how you organize data in a multi-dimensional array (zig-zagging one way is faster than the alternative).

Many bat an eye. Heck, many not even get pointers, much less cache lines, and optimal access/sharing patterns...
