I've been using it on a Chromecast. I'm not sure what "wonderful" content you're amazed by - there are some nice movies but I think by next month we will be pretty much out of interesting stuff to watch. And technically it's also not that great - it takes a while to load and in about 50% of the movies I've watched it froze and I had to restart the app.

We will probably stay subscribed though so it's not all that terrible.

Apart from being pretty slow, I don't think Jira really sucks once a) it is configured to your needs b) you know how to use it (which should be fairly easy with a in place). Which goes for pretty much any tool more complicated than notepad, so to speak: it's not like the other similar tools out there are much better, just different, imo. Though I have the impression a lot of people who think Jira sucks might be using it where they actually don't need it because much simpler tools could suffice in their particular situation.
Hah! Awesome.

Mediawiki works quite well. Most people use Wikipedia, so are able to quickly learn & use Mediawiki. Wikimedia Foundation has a number of initiatives to increase the diversity of Wikipedia contributors, so that translates into features non-technical people in your org will appreciate.

Microsoft was using Mediawiki for external-facing developer docs (at least on the HoloLens site), but after the GitHub acquisition has switched to a workflow that uses VS Code as a Markdown editor & publishes to GitHub pages. That kind of workflow can be okay if all the people in your company are highly technical.

As your company grows you may get value out of internal conferences or mini TED style talks.

Video & screen recording can really help too.
> is your opinion that people does not vote thinking in their best interest.

No, that's the (in my view, paternalistic) view of the people who claim the independentist Catalonians are all just puppets in the hands of a few evil leaders.

Tactical voting means they are, in their own best interest, choosing either the least bad option, or an option that will get them one step towards their ultimate goal, and voting for Autonomy in 1977 is consistent with that.

> If you vote parties against independence you don't support independence. Point.

Maybe. Which parties stated they were openly against independence in 1977, and how many votes did they get?

The rest of your post seems to be about the current situation, which is not what I asked about. If I want opinions on that by Spanish people, I can just ask half of my family.

The main reason code isn't considered a formal specification is that it's not intended to be either formal or a specification. That doesn't mean you cannot write a formal specification in code.

If anything code allows for a higher level of formality than all but the most formal mathematics. Which is why some mathematicians are advocating that mathematical proofs should be specified as code [1]. You shouldn't confuse the existence of these languages to mean that any code not capable of expressing mathematical proofs is not formal. It might be limited, but not informal.

Another alternative is TreeSheets (http://strlen.com/treesheets/) which is desktop only but very fast and nice implementation of structured note taking tool.

Over the years, I've tried everything from MediaWiki, Evernote, OneNote, Confluence to Google Docs. Each seems awesome when you start out, but after a while, the novelty wears off and out-of-date crud starts accumulating.

The only thing that has remained constant for me are text files. I use two forms: if it's related to a component I'm developing, I tend to place it in the repository itself, in README.md, or docs/.md. Other stuff I keep in text (.md) files in a Dropbox.

Only those things that don't fit well into the above two formats go into Confluence.
I'm not an expert, but didn't it take quite some time for stars to create heavier elements like iron, go nova, spread the star-stuff across the Universe, and then repeat until we have the current mix of light/heavy elements?

Combine that with:

* The fact that life on Earth was possibly dependent on life from other planets to form.

* Has had multiple near-total extinction events during it's time.

* We're outright dependant on fossil fuels left over from previous cycles in order to get to where we are now.

* Our own species have been close to extinction multiple times far before we reached our current technological level.

* Our own emissions most likely blends with the background noise and are probably not detectable that far out.

* It's taken us countless millennia just to get to the point where we're approaching a technology level that will allow a fraction of our population to scan parts of our closest galactic neighbourhood for disproportionately large signal sources that happens to be on the bands we find to be most convenient.

To me, it sounds like it's quite plausible that we could be amongst the first to spread on an interplanetary scale (assuming we actually manage to do that), or that something happens and we go back to pre-industrial levels, leaving the aliens on the next habitable planet wondering why the level of noise from group of stars a few hundred light-years away suddenly grew quieter.

I'm talking about 501 W Second Ave; the building has changed hands a few times, and you need to use more than just Google to see what's going on. For a while it was owned by some nonprofit called "Telephone Pioneers".

Legally the building is currently a condo: CenturyLink owns a few floors, AT&T owns a few floors. The building is valued north of $9.5 million and yet nobody has ever paid any property taxes on it (except six bucks a year for the soil and weed control district).

https://cp.spokanecounty.org/SCOUT/propertyinformation/Summa...

Paying zero property taxes is a dead giveaway for undeclared federal government facilities. They're the only ones who can thumb their nose at state tax collectors and get away with it -- and they take such pride in it that they can't resist doing so, even when it attracts attention.

One thing I've run into most recently : working with materials is a pain.
There's no easy list that you can delete them in a classic-UX way (that I can find). Copying and pasting/duplicating ends up creating large numbers of identical materials and there was no immediately obvious way to prevent this. The interface for creating shared material parameters is unintuitive compared to something like Unreal.

Notion: https://notion.so

[edit: I work at Notion. I’ve added some more color about that to the top here. This isn’t marketing spam I’m commenting from bed on my phone - sorry that it came off slimy]

Notion is a malleable collaborative wiki that also has relational databases.

We build Notion, so it figures that Notion is our single source of truth. I think the way we use Notion internally works pretty well - with better results than the smattering of tools I’ve used at other companies - but we’re a smaller team...

Notion makes a good wiki because adding, editing, and organizing information has such low activation energy. Each part of the org (Eng, Community, Marketing, People, ...) has a tree of pages with process, information, etc.

We have a few big centralized databases that everyone uses:

- Tasks. Lets us see what anyone is doing, assign tickets, track progress.

- Documents. This one has a weird name. All teams put meeting notes, research, proposed designs, RFCs, specs in this database. The common thread here is that documents are artifacts of their time: they’re authored, reviewed and commented on by the team, iterated on, then ratified or archived. We rarely change them afterwards because they store historical context on decisions. If an RFC changes a process, or a design gets implemented, the affected team(s) might update their wikis.

- Goals. Stores objectives, product use-cases, and large projects. We relate Tasks and Documents with the Goals they support.

Centralizing these databases fosters cross-team visibility and assists with collaboration, eg seeing Eng and Marketing tasks related to an upcoming launch, plus the designs and research.

Shortcomings:

- Search. At the ~50 person size it isn’t a desperate problem but it does hurt.

- Integration with email and calendar. There’s no way to sync Notion to Gcal or react to incoming emails.

- Integration with Github: none.

- Mobile performance could be better.

[Disclaimer: I work at Notion.]
Edit: Never mind... I completely missed the word "empty" when reading the critical sentence. :(
In a programmer environment, this is impossible. A programmer will always need to document his own things for a simple reason: (s)he is the only one who really knows. Putting people in the middle of that who can barely understand all the details, seems like a lot of overhead for a worse deliverable.
Again, this page for a mobile site took more than 40 seconds to load a single image. The average user is not waiting, they've already left. You seem to be missing that detail. Performance matters and has been proven by metrics and research from every major internet company.

Site popularity has nothing to do with UX. Imgur is popular because of reddit, and there's plenty of users who dislike Reddit's slow and heavy redesign too.
> Being illegal is a hard life with constant risk and lack of access to many things

It's a hard life in the US, often with access to even less things than illegal immigrants have here. Not sure what this "constant risk" is, unless you engage in violent crime you'll find it very difficult to get yourself deported.

By far the biggest thing you lose is the ability to fly around easily, but it remains (and will remain) easy to sneak out after overstaying your visa waiver.

> It's not "really easy" at all and I don't know why anyone would think that

Because I know multiple illegal immigrants who vastly improved their lives by moving. A good friend of mine spent 4 years going in and out of KS state prisons, after a while he decided that he needed a change of scenery and hopped on a plane to Spain.

There's little chance he could get a visa without lying, but that hasn't really affected his life. He makes a living freelancing online, gets paid to his US account and pays the IRS. Here he enjoys access to excellent healthcare without risking bankruptcy.
Another interesting one is trustpilot. According to web shop people I know, it's well known that people who complain require less motivation to write than satisfied customers. So the model is basically that you're forced to pay them to motivate positive reviews to compensate for the negatives.
>Every “aspie” probably actively harms the mental health of a dozen ordinary people, but that’s invisible

Replace "aspie" with "black man" and your entire response is blatantly prejudiced. In my experience this is a boogieman people fear will crawl out from under their bed at night. All but one of the autistic ("aspie" is outdated) people I know understand their shortcomings and adapt as best as they can. There will always be assholes in every group; if you're not prejudiced, you judge the asshole rather than stereotyping the entire group.

Nearly all autistic people know they act weird and would like to act normal but don't know how. You have to weigh the costs and benefits. What's worse: you are occasionally made uncomfortable, or an autistic person gets fired? Are you willing to make no compromise in this conflict with coworkers? If so, it would be hypocritical.

I use Markdown documents in Git repositories whenever I can. Also try to evangelize for this at work. PRs then include relevant changes to both code and docs and it's beautiful. For personal project docs I use this exclusively. At work it depends on the team, some people don't like it, but most often it is because they don't like keeping docs at all, not because of an alternative preference. I avoid UI and WYSIWYG based systems like Confluence like plague. I personally can't stand them and every time I have to use one I do my hardest to pretend I'm writing Markdown in my head.

For personal agenda I use Apple Notes with basically just a huge list of things to do and events that are about to happen and I curate that list more or less non stop during the day. If something comes up and I'm with people and don't want to be rude and spend too much time on the phone editing things to be in the right order and have all the relevant info captured with them, I just plop a line at the top of the note knowing I'll groom it later.
Hey I've been using Notion at work and its great so far. Do you know when will the api will be ready by?
Mostly energy level and community/users. That usually determines how far a platform can go and how fast. It also makes it a heck more exciting to work, and even if it fails, leaves good memories.

What I worry about is the WordPress/Stack Overflow effect. Where something becomes so popular it attracts the wrong crowd, either dumbing itself down too much or becoming elitist. It bloats itself, trying to expand into too many things and isn't good at any one thing.
So to bring this a little bit back to biology (and away from the fact that the article says little about humans) I would conjecture that the issue with blue light may stem from Rayleigh scattering [1] of sunlight and the subsequent phenomenon whereby the light that reaches us has a lot of the blue component removed.

In the late afternoon, all the blue light get caught and even some of the red, since the sun is now not just an atmosphere-length but an atmosphere length plus a radius of the earth length from the observer and hence has more distance to get scattered. This would mean we get orange-ish light.

Have biologists pointed this out?

> If you reach a point where one organism developed enough mechanisms to resist simple predators and that their advanced predators die out, I think it would be impossible for evolution to get out of that dead end.

Evolution works on the level of individuals. Even if you end up in a situation where you have only clones of a single organism populating whole planet, these clones will compete with each other. Because of different environmental conditions, random mutations and distances this super successful organism most likely will still undergo speciation.

this site lets companies advertise
against us using our brand

Well, to be fair the "site" lets anybody advertise for any search term.

Would it be better if some companies would be entitled to exlusively advertise for certain terms?

I don't think so.
>Not hiring an Aspie because, say, we need a person who is comfortable with a lot of noise and distractions, is a skill-based decision

No, that's discrimination. Autism is a disability and companies are required to make reasonable accommodations. A hipster startup wouldn't get away with being wheelchair-inaccessible because that would be discriminating against the disabled. Unless you're running a restaurant or factory or operation like that you have no reasonable excuse to discriminate against the disabled.
I think this is also a likely cause, the odds that life even develops beyond the microscopic level, plus the fact that civilizations probably don't last that long combined with the scale of the cosmos and the light speed limitation means that it's unlikely that two civilizations even become aware of each other.

Still, I think it's a bit surprising that no signs of former life have been found so far in both Mars and Venus especially, and even elsewhere in our solar system like on certain moons.
Technically this wasn't caused by those instructions but by the spinlocks waiting for the lock to be released. Also "blocked by seven instructions" sounds a bit click-baity.. you can lock the CPU or power off the computer with less than that amount of instructions :-)

Quite likely this. Passes all requirements tests. So follow up story to add real data is still in the deep frozen backlog. May get promoted to ready in year never.
Or it's just that most interactions with stores are really mediocre. If I buy something in a store, it was reasonably priced, it gets delivered within the promised time frame and is not damaged then that's very much par for the course in terms of what I expect from a webshop. It's not "5/5 AMAZING store, will always buy things from here!", it's just so much easier to slide downwards on that scale than move up.

> this site lets companies advertise against us using our brand

As they should. If your product is an alternative to $bigbrand then this gives you the best visibility.

> When Google puts 4 paid ads ahead of the first organic result for your own brand name, you’re forced to pay up if you want to be found. It’s a shakedown. It’s ransom.

No. Your brand is the first actual result. You might argue that four is a bit much or that it should be clearer that these are adds (can you even see those when running an ad blocker?), but "our competitors are running advertisements" is definitely not a shakedown or ransom.

I can't recommend this book enough. It's a very interesting story and gave me an appreciation for what it takes to do big things in the software industry.
For work use I haven't found a good system. For personal use, I do the following:

- Sublime for very quick temp text files.

- Apple Notes for quick notes or for non-health related notes.

- TiddlyWiki for health tracking and identity tracking (e.g. what I value in life). Note: it's a bit unconventional to do questionnaires in TiddlyWiki, but it can be done quite well. Especially now that I know how their plugin ecosystem works and can extend the system with JavaScript. I'm happy to share my template.

- BoostNotes for coding snippet.
Replace "aspie" with "black man" and your entire response is blatantly prejudiced.

Not remotely comparable unless you are implying that black people “expect others to change behavior to adapt to themselves, but refuse to change their own behavior” which by the way is pretty racist.

So much of this makes no sense.

For example, how was he able to get into and out of the USA so easily on expired visitor visas? Did he not have to clear American immigration when he flew out to Iraq? Why would he fly then from Iraq ("sold his Porsche for a one way ticket to Iraq") all the way to England and back just to buy combat gear, again all without visas? Hiw did he enter Belize? Does Belize not require a Visa, or at least consistent stamps on his passport, to enter and stay there indefinitely? Etc.

It all reminds me of John Kerry's "secret missions to Cambodia".
Advertisements look like real search results, though, and being able to bury a company just because you're paying money to run ads using their name (not a generic search term) is just bad behavior.
Yes, but they're single purpose machines optimized for exactly one thing. Humanoid mobile robots continue to suck in large part because they have to do many things, and are thus not particularly good at any of them.

Ask HN: Any service like a CDN that can be used to add custom domains for app
hi all,
Is there any services like a CDN or reverse proxy that i can use to point to my web application and add custom domains. So it would be like a reverse proxy but the main thing i need is for it to manage the SSLs so i dont have to sort it out. It will only
be pointing to static files so a CDN could work if it has a good API and is somewhat flexible with custom headers.

So a client requests to use a domain via my app. They point the DNS record where it is needed. i request to add the domain to the provider i use, they setup the domain with an SSL from lets encrypt and renew it when needed. And the domain loads the static files from my pull location. I can also set any needed headers.
