By 'automated brewing systems' do you mean a system which controls the initial brewing process (mash, liquor tun temp etc.), controlling valves etc. too maybe, then regulating fermentation?

I found out about https://www.craftautomation.com/ recently from /r/thebrewery, which looks interesting.

I'm just a home brewer, but I also enjoy some of the control system aspects. I created a little flow controller display a year or so ago, to measure water from the HLT->mash tun.
Oh, this applies to anything.

The code review feature seems too expensive to run on every PR automatically (to me): $0.75 per 100 lines of code. From their example pricing: "if you have a typical pull request with 500 lines of code, it would only cost $3.75 to run CodeGuru Reviewer on it." I wonder if it's actually good enough to justify that price.
How do you implement stack allocation support inside a C library function? How is de-allocation expressed?
On the contrary, workers' solidarity is about focusing on the inherently related issues of worker's rights. If one of your coworkers is mistreated, that's very related to your own interests, even if you can't or don't expect to be mistreated in that exact same way.

When you see a union taking stances on random unrelated political issues, that's not solidarity. That's union leaders exploiting solidarity for their own political benefit.

> I am all in favour of reducing the industry’s reliance on fancy name schools for hiring.

Soon after the industry seriously stops doing this, the fancy name schools will quickly get female-dominated, and whatever the industry starts using as a signal of candidate quality that hadn't been male-dominated before, will start to be.

When proposing new policies, always solve for equilibrium, don't ignore second order effects, and never assume the world is steady state system.
My guess is that there's no easy way to get bulk telephone data for free. If there was a government service that linked everyone's identity to their telephone number, then it'd be easier to scrape it and publish it online for free. As far as I know there's no easy way to get people's real name from a number besides purchasing a bunch of different marketing/caller lists. This is expensive so you probably can't make a profit just by running ads. Plus I bet Adsense has rules against you running ads on a site that gives away personal info. Just my guess though.
If Patreon were to add a feature to do one-time, no sign-up required contributions to any of the orgs currently using it, would this be survivable for you?

Do you have ideas of ways to increase value to make using your service over others more worthwhile or is the one-time, no sign-up required contribution process the primary feature right now?
Something similiar: Much of the late 90's and early 2000's Microsoft Official Curriculum training courses used the names of real Microsoft employees in examples (along with these fictional company names). I wish I could recall some of the names right now. I remember searching for some of the names and being shocked and amused to discover they were real Microsoft employees.

> Do you know that the people who did the information gathering didn't do the leaking?

Were this criminal court, the burden of proof would be on Google to show that people who did the information gathering did do the leaking.

This is, of course, the court of public opinion, so one's own biases will come into play on who one assumes is telling the truth. But Google's internal statement (at least, what of it we've seen) doesn't connect the dots tightly enough to eliminate reasonable doubt.
I don't work for AWS, but I do run Cassandra at scale for a living, and this line:

> Considering the kind of resources Apache Cassandra requires to run

Makes no sense. There is plenty of talent at AWS to run Cassandra proper on AWS for less money than they're currently charging for Dynamo. This was true before this announcement - it's how people like Instaclustr stay in business (containerized cassandra as a service on EC2).
H2O's main pitch is that except Driverless they're open source. Data robot seems to have got a strong Salesforce for each domain and driving sales. In terms of features, Google cloud AutoMl seems better as it makes the entire productionising part easy
I’m sure they use a third-party payment processor who handles AML for them.
Several hundred network operators use a particular IRC network for back channel communications. Chatter on route hijacks, leaks, outages, etc. Great way to cut thru the bullshit support channels and NOC aliases to get to the folks who matter. Outages have been mitigated faster because of this.

I agree with the sentiment that maybe therapy would be helpful for the OC, but speaking as a woman, I have a similar problem. Growing up my dad used my thoughts and emotions as weapons against me so "showing my thought process" to strangers that are men in a high stakes environment like an interview is incredibly crippling. I tend to disassociate once I'm uncomfortable and I'm not able to recover in the span of an interview session. I do attend therapy myself, but it's a very slow process to heal from years of emotional abuse.

I recognize my own experience is more on the extreme end, but SWE and related interviews could be more mindful of different life experiences in general.

"Amazon CodeGuru is a machine learning service for automated code reviews and application performance recommendations. It helps you find the most expensive lines of code that hurt application performance..." I suspect if AWS is using customers code bases to train its AI models? Another source is to scavenge open source repositories.
Thank you for this. Excellent work on the site. Donated!
Semantics matter, since we're now at the phase of the process where legal counsel would be involved drafting these statements (even if they're internally targeted, because Google knows its internal confidential broadcasts to employees will be leaked).

Same set up here. You turn on the TV and are greeted by the Ubuntu desktop. From there you can launch Firefox and sign into Jellyfin or whatever streaming service you prefer.
How long have you been an employed programmer? On the scale of decades things can change dramatically.

In theory (based on the cost of an instance vs the cost to get your own) AWS is grossly overpriced, and SOMEONE will eventually beat them by a very large margin for commodity services.

AWS knows this, and probably is behind all its custom features.

AWS is the new IBM.
I have a store. People buy food from my store and I use that money to buy food from farmers. Ever since everybody started receiving an equal share of any new money created, farmers have been less interested in selling food to me. After all, they already have plenty of money.

That's great. I also have plenty of money, and there are plenty of wealthy, starving people who would like to give me money. But I just haven't been able to figure out what I could possibly offer the farmers to get them to go out into their fields and do farming. They say they "need" fertilizer. What the heck do I know about fertilizer? If there were something of universal value that I could give to the farmers, they could use it to go buy fertilizer. We used to have something for that. It was called money.

I'll preface this with the usual "my views are my own" but I do think that diversity in the workplace is a very deep and interesting problem and that we do a major disservice to it by creating ridiculous metrics.

I think the most damning metric I see constantly touted is percentage gender; "We aim to have 50% women in the workplace" is a prime example of this. If this is by sexual assignment then even if the value is reached the intent will not be (one could be a female by sex but a male by gender and thus from a diversity standpoint is largely contributing as a male). If this is by gender assignment not only is the metric focused on a fluid concept but it's also not a binary - in order to reach 50% women we'd only have 50% for the remaining non-women, which represents a broad range of gender expression and is not exclusively male.

I do respect that many companies (not just in tech) see diversity as an issue and are trying to do something about it. However, I do hope that they spend more time investigating the full range of the issue and begin by making small attempts at approaching the problem space before declaring metrics as objectives.
You can vote them out, by voting in politicians that care about good governance, as opposed to politicians that actively campaign for no governance (At this point, pretty much the entire Republican party), or politicians that do not actually perform good governance (At this point, this is much, but not all of the Democratic party).

Hint: One of those two parties is fixable, and it can be done through their primaries.
Do you know any good ways to improve your non-technical skills as a founder? I am at the point where I've built the mvp, but growth is very slow. I use the mvp personally so I know its useful, but I really think Im not good at getting it out there to get enough feedback to iterate.

Any suggestions on getting better at this side of entrepreneurship?

Why would this happen? Is your thinking that men will respond to the lower incentive of a fancy school degree by pursuing other options, but women won't? If so, why?

I would like a scylladb option as well, but it isn't exactly feature parity with cass 3.11.X, to say nothing of 4.X

It started like gangbusters, but I get the feeling the dev money ran out because the feature rollout has completely stalled.
The company that wrote this blogpost, which I work for part-time, does exactly that. I think it's a massive improvement.
yeah good point. especially since they don't have a sign-up, makes me think they're more non-custodial in concept, which eases their AML requirements
first off, thank you for the kind words!

Payment fraud and AML - we're a PayPal and Stripe Partner and do not hold the money that we process. We use their marketplace products to handle payments, fraud and compliance so that we can focus on the product.
I was thinking about the same thing. Even for a small project of 3 developers, it seems like this would rise easily to the $100+/month, for suggestions that may not even be that useful.

Libgen is one of the greatest contributors to scientific productivity worldwide, possibly beaten only by Sci-Hub. Just about everybody in academia knows about it. If it ever vanished, some of us could probably still get by trading files from person to person, but nothing could be as perfect as what we got now.
Several of the best developers I know have no degree at all. I know one guy who did a boot camp 2-3 years ago and since then has self taught himself so much that he's one of the most knowledgeable people I've been around.

He was recently told in an interview that he otherwise passed with flying colors that, "someone with a boot camp education couldn't be seriously considered."

It's mind blowing to me that anyone in charge of hiring for technical positions can be dense enough to think that your education stops when your career starts.
> Hops must be what sells though.

Bingo. It's to the point now where OG craft breweries are faced with cutting their once staple lines to replace them with IPAs. IPAs represent 26% of the craft beer market and its still growing.

IPAs may have originally flooded the craft beer market because they are easier to brew consistently and keep longer on the shelf. But they've rocketed to the top of the beer sales charts because the people who buy beer love hops.

People have been talking about the "next IPA" for years now. Yet there's no indication that another style is going to usurp them. In fact, it's somewhat the opposite, as other styles are being adapted into IPAs. Nobody has made a heffeweizen IPA yet, so I think there's still further to go.
> As someone that uses an orphan drug developed in the US to improve my quality of life, I'm glad. Do you want to take that option away from me and others like me?

I don't believe that medicine is a zero-sum game, but I _really_ wonder if a country where thousands of people die from not being able to afford relatively accessible medication is spending its money wisely.
I've faced all these things too; I pass for white and have similarly been told I'm not hispanic enough. It's not a simple yes or no kind of situation. It simply can suck in some ways to be all mixed up.
Yes, but did they understand that the change occurring was a physical one, rather than a chemical one? As opposed to cooking other forms of food and beverage save for ice, which would fall under chemical reactions rather than phase transition.
I've heard argumentum-ad-Hitler used as an example of why private citizens should be armed.

What I've never heard is a strong argument that a German citizenry armed as the US is armed now wouldn't have simply resulted in faster, gas-chamber-free deaths of minorities in Germany and German-occupied territories, as the government in charge gave quiet assent to extra-legal killings enacted by private citizens against "undesirables" and the citizenry bought into the mythology of the ubermensch.

After all, the hypothesis of the equalizing effect of private firepower assumes that "good guys" have the guns.
A tale of project management, toil, and ripped donuts

> what am I missing here?

Mostly that your believing Scylla marketing literature and paid benchmarks over what people actually use and experience. Theres thousands of large Cassandra deployments and a hand full of Scylla ones and it's not because people didn't do their research. If they did to ScyllaDB though it will probably kill the product, with Cassandra this is more of a positive for the community.
I'm aware of what PG&E is doing. Sorry if I sounded otherwise.

That said, I mentioned these things because it's a should. I'm compassionate for those in that unfortunate situation.

I don't know about how the distance scales are regarding the interactions between commuting, geography, infrastructure sections, etc. I'm partially arguing about a situation with a less voluntary shutoff on a comparable scale. A scenario with similar infrastructure availability, just larger regions with sparse/meager availability. Think of what you'd have in case of a sudden jump to 100% renewables. Existing storage doesn't suffice for 24/7 traditional load curves. Overall demand is higher than supply....

Anyways, it was more a yawning in defeat than a case of "confused pikachu". (Forgive me for the wording, and feel free to correct. I'm not trying to joke.)
Ask HN: How to Manage Kids Devices?
i have kids and they like to play games and watch stuff in netflix and youtube (only what me and their mother approve), specially if are out in a situation that they are required to attend but is not fully kids friendly, some examples a family bbq that there are no other kids around for them to play, while me and their mother buy groceries, things like that were they end up bored.

For them to stop using the grown-ups devices (and using up all our batteries) am configuring some old phones we have around (iphone 5s, iphone 5c and an android tabled) just for them to use.

In previous threads i saw people commenting on using stuff like intunes and other "enterprise" provisioning systems to handle the device management.

At the moment we are doing things very manually, we just use screen time and guides access (and the android equivalent when available) to limit what they can do, but we have to configure each device, and blocking the store makes a pain to upgrade the apps later.

I am looking for others experiences on how are you handling your younglins devices and their access to the world, what is working for you and what does not.

Show HN: Promotion/Raise Salary Data
My country, Argentina, got down to 66 of 73 countries tested in the PISA tests. The education system there went on to a process of destruction in matter of 20 years.
Hey Hacker news! we were inspired by other salary tracking sites to build a tool for engineers, product managers & other tech workers. Our observation was that the yearly raise and promotion process is even more opaque than the "new job negotiation" process.

Our goal is to try to crowdsource an answer to that! We're currently testing the tool so we're only tracking Google, Facebook, Amazon & Microsoft for now.

Open for any questions!
Did you guys swap out the storage guts like Rocksandra did?

Can we access the sstables of our tables?

"Mentrification" suggests that men enter women's hobbies and ruin them. It also suggests that there is a right and wrong way to engage with things (See conversations about how men and women engage with fiction differently, analysis vs elaboration, power rankings vs fan-fiction, etc).

Rather than saying the word "mentrification" is sexist, which is a complex question (like nobody is being hurt because someone on twitter comes up with a funny phrase), I'd rather say, if someone used mentrification in earnest, they're probably a shitty person and I don't want to hang out with them.
Ask HN: Would you use this? (mailchimp list cleaning)
I've built an internal tool for my company to facilitate list cleaning in Mailchimp.

It's pretty simple: it connects to the Mailchip API, looks at each contacts inside your audiences, identify those inactive and either classify them in a special segment (e.g. "Inactives") or archives them directly. It also reduces bounce rate since it checks the validity of all the new incoming emails (e.g. from mispellings in form submissions, spambots etc) before the first email goes out.

I used to do this cleaning by hand, but it quickly became time consuming, so I invested some time building this automation, and I'm now thinking whether it's worth to release this publicly. Would anyone else use this?

Any other comment/ feedback I'd love to hear them!
