I’m a caring and loving woman with a good heart but still my spouse still cheats on me, he asks me for sex 6 times a day still i do it for him, upon all this he still cheats on me and it hurts so bad. I thank “Fred Anderson’’ for helping me out with hacking of my spouse phone, he also hacks every other thing you can think of, you should try him out and he collects money when you’re satisfied with the job. If not for this hacker I won’t know that the man I have been living with has been cheating on me. Contact him via email. andersontech65@gmailcom
Is being promoted from individual contributor to manager still a thing?

Certainly the mobility from engineer to manager is something that I haven't witnessed "in the wild" ever, after 10 years in the business and having seen half a dozen organizations; neither with myself, nor with my peers.

What I predominantly see is a caste system where engineers are the lower caste and MBA-types are the higher caste, and members of the lower caste aren't taken seriously when voicing suggestions and opinions regarding business direction and management and also certainly don't stand a chance of being moved into any positions where they would meaningfully influence business direction on an ongoing basis.

There is an exception, though, which is that female engineers may still get promoted into management (...not going to speculate on reasons right now).

Also, what I've sometimes seen work is a lateral move followed by a vertical move, say from engineering to sales, and then from sales into management.

Eh, i cant get to 500, but I think it's more like "the database" has been decentralized, so now you have

* a dedicated key vault instead of installing certs directly on the DB server
* separate IAM / SSO
* separate monitoring
* separate logging and audit
* separate vnet, subnet tooling
* separate orchestration
* separate object store / data lake
* separate queuing
* separate replication / backup
* separate tools for streaming data, batch processing, job running

The only real additional vectors for a "Modern DBA" are CAP theorem, elastic scale, cloud security, multi cloud, and the sheer belwidering variety of platforms you may be required to support.
Solution from the article: Don't fiddle with thread priorities.

Solution that works well in real life: Use lock-free (or, better still, wait-free) data structures.

The trick is that, for those of us in the devices and media world, and despite not always using RT schedulers, we generally need (largely) consistently prioritized performance for critical operations. For example, I actually need my device audio buffer callback to be timely to avoid displeasing gaps.

How have whole industries managed to deliver sellable products in these spaces without resorting to RT kernels? In many cases, careful uses of thread priorities and, yes, mutexes, have been involved.

This article feels like it was written by someone half-way through:

Junior engineer: Just use thread priority.

Senior engineer: No! Thread priority is a minefield.

Principal engineer: We're going to carefully walk through this minefield.
I find that hard to believe considering how ubiquitous singular-they is in virtually everyone's speech including yours.

What's bizarre to me is how many people suggest this is some new phenomenon lately when actually it comes so naturally to us that we don't even notice it. You've used and read singular-they probably daily in your life since you could read, yet now you've convinced yourself you're somehow only used to plural-they.

Your post history even shows that you use singular-they which is basically guaranteed for anyone with enough comments on the site: "I assume they [upstream HNer] are referring to Chrome on mobile."

It turns out that context makes this distinction so simple that we totally forget it's a non-issue.

The barrier here isn't really the need for a law degree. Prosecuting these kinds of cases against deep-pocketed defendants like Google doesn't only take expertise in the law, but the resources to review millions of pages of Google emails to establish how the system works and what Google's intentions were, as well as experts to opine on technical aspects as well as calculation of damages. There is no practical way for individuals without significant resources to prove up this sort of case on their own.

The realistic alternative is having government agencies prosecute these sorts of cases. It's a very good alternative, and is used in most other countries. It's an odd confluence of factors that results in private class action litigation being more popular in the U.S. (From the left, trial lawyers are major supporters of Democrats. From the right, Republicans would rather have these class actions than new government agencies.)

Oh, the delicious irony! Did you know that not 100 years ago, workers were murdered for going on strike for things like work weeks lower than 60-80 hours? Companies had their own police forces, and they paid you in company scrip. A lot of blood was shed so you could be tone-deaf and ignorant of the labor movement in the United States, all from a comfy office chair and with plenty of time left over to see your family at the end of the day.

If left to their own devices, companies will exploit workers. I don’t want to argue the morality of it, but it happens over and over again. Amazon workers are having the same fights their great grandparents did (fighting for the right not to get killed at work, the right to a decent wage, the right to a goddamn bathroom break that doesn’t get you fired). Tech workers aren’t immune either. Sure, we’re more mobile than most, but that’s still not great leverage. Your employer has more power over you than you do over them. Without a union, this is always true. If you’re fine being potentially fucked that way, that’s your prerogative.
Wait, so if I know someone's name and email address or username I can probably cause arbitrary companies to delete their account?
We do. But "it" carries a strong implication of not only gender-neutral but inhuman. A lot of people won't even use "it" for a pet. And there's even a fairly strong tradition of actually using feminine pronouns for, e.g. ships.

Part of Uber's success is efficient engagement. Service delivery consists mostly of the actual service, driving. Service requests consist mostly of the actual service, riding.

Another part of Uber's success is ubiquity of need and capability. Many people need to get from one place to another much of the time. Many people are capable of driving someone from one place to another without assistance.

House construction and custom software development have neither of these features. At any given time, there are no people with an immediate need. There are very few people capable of providing the service without assistance. The engagement periods are months or years.

Right, because tech workers at large SV companies have no choice but to work every waking hour doing grueling labor for meager pay with no benefits. /s

Do these people even understand how the rest of the country lives?

So where's the problem - just buy the system from them - as long as they price it fairly.

Heck it's even better - they have a monopoly on a key technology - they are an ideal partner/acquisition for someone who wants to roughly own the food business.

Also there's micvac, which does have some similar , microwave based food packaging technology, and they sell products in Sweden, South Africa, and probably Asia. And i believe they have US patents.

That's true for affluent customers. You can't beat the restaurant delivery brand, quality and selection.

But what about non-wealthy people - if it's cheap enough, chilled meals may be a better solution for them. But i'm not from the US so maybe i'm mistaken.

Ask HN: What are your favorite tools for windows and mouse management on macOS?
I'm a long time Linux user who recently switched home and work to macOS for the use of various communication tools our company uses which aren't supported on Linux.

On Linux, I used i3 and was absolutely in love with it. I could control my entire environment without touching my mouse, and keep my windows very organized. However, I've really struggled to find anything close to it on macOS. I'm very open to approaches which aren't apples to apples with i3...I just want something which significantly improves upon the default macOS experience. In other words, I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for, but the default experience isn't it. One thing I know I'd prefer is to touch the mouse as little as possible, and I'd like to keep SIP (system integrity protection) enabled (which seems to exclude some promising options):

Among the things I've tried:

Divvy - looked promising initially, but requires a user to touch the mouse to draw the window in the pop-up.
Spectacle - too basic...while it allows me to quickly resize one window, that's about it.
Hammerspoon - very cool idea, but I'd have to basically write my own window manager in lua. None of the shared configurations from other users seem fully baked
TotalSpaces2 - I thought TS2 was going to be *the one* solution I found which, while a different approach, fulfilled my needs. However, it requires SIP to be disabled.
Amethyst - reading about it filled me with promise, but actually using it proved confusing and it didn't always manage the windows in intuitive ways. I couldn't tell if it was the software, the user, or a combination of both. I really need to revisit this one.
yabai - requires disabling SIP

I know many of you are long-time macOS users. Would you mind sharing your can't-live-without windows management and mouse management solutions?

Thanks in advance!
This. And this is also the reason why gaming on HTML5 hasn't picked up yet: there's no widely supported container format. I can't easily share/distribute/version HTML5 games like it was possible with SWF containers.

On top of that, it's also not easy to "watermark" HTML5 games. With SWF, you could create custom loaders and force ads and logos, both core revenue models for gaming websites.

You can't easily gender plural pronouns because the people/things they refer to could be a mixed group.

Gendering singlur pronouns is one way to avoid ambiguity.

Take these sentences:

I met a boy and a girl. They gave me a toy.

If it said "he" or "she" gave me the toy, you would know who specifically gave me the toy. The fact it says "they" likely means they acted together to give me th toy (otherwise I'd have said "he" or "she").

You could dump gendered pronouns and make everyone "they". But then you lose information. Who gave me the toy?.

You could dump pronouns all together, but then you would have to specifically name all the people/groups and use their full names all the time. That's long and complex.

Both pronouns, and semi-specific pronouns (gendered or plural/singular or cased ones or any combo of those) let you push more information in less time. They're a hack, but a very useful one.
My (relatively rich, heavily remain, and mostly Tory voting) constituency is one of the rare cases that's currently polling a three-way tie between LabLibCon.

Labour (incumbent) have mostly been quiet in this HEAVILY remain-voting area, with a leaflet or two highlighting a "People's Vote". The LibDems have parachuted in a Tory defector, and have been absolutely going all out with the campaigning around "Revoke Brexit".

The Conservatives have been quietly content to stay out of the way and watch the non-Leave vote split between the former two.
I will 100% agree with you that there has been a deterioration in the quality of media reporting on politics over the last few years.

However, I will argue that this is partly/mostly because the main thing the political parties are feeding the media is negative messages. I'd like to see some constructive messages instead.

Even the political leaflets put into my letterbox are giving negative messages - "Anything but Boris", "I am the only candidate who can get rid of the Tories", "A vote for the Lib Dems is a vote for Corbyn", "Don't let Labour destroy our region", etc. What I wanted to see was "We recognise this particular problem (for example, underfunded NHS), and we think the way to solve it is to take this particular action. We know this will have this other knock-on effect, but we believe this is the best choice."

The other thing I see in the political leaflets is of course empty promises. I think all of the parties have promised to save the NHS. None of them really say how, or why their method is better than the other parties' methods.

It's just a load of mudslinging at this point. I'd seriously vote for a candidate who just said "You know, our country is pretty nicely tuned at the moment. We could spend a bit more on this, or a bit less, depending on your political philosophy. But I plan to stop changing everything all the time." As it is, I might be spoiling my ballot. I'm in a safe seat anyway.
Thanks for being blunt, sometimes you need to hear it like it is.

As you say, I will reject this interpretation a tad, but that is because I have knowledge I cannot share here. But some kind of idiot, that I have been. Just need to analyze it pinpoint what kind.

Also, would you mind to share a story when you have been a clueless complete idiot and what you learnt from it? I think that would counter the tone of your comment and help others that being blunt can be helpful.
Balance. A good programmer can balance between CapEx, OpEx, and business objective delivery depending on the business amount of testing.

>re-opening the file and skipping to where you left off

That's what Windows does now. But I think in the past it wasn't that way (as suggested by the sources). In my tests it appears that the command processor caches the byte offsets of each line, so it's possible to GOTO any line in the past without rescanning the whole file.

Good for you for recognizing that you are not performing to the standard that you know you can. Now it's up to you to use your tools and team to improve.

First of all, there is probably a style guide for your programming language at your company. Read it front to back. Your IDE may be configurable to automatically bring code up to these standards. "Look and feel" and using consistent language features are very important for others to be able to easily digest your code and be comfortable with it.

Second, there are likely resources for learning your common libraries (like your RPC and presentation libraries for example). Go through those thoroughly. Make sure you understand the common patterns and how they are used in the product you are working on. Apply this learning to your design before you start writing code.

Now that you have context, look at the specific feedback you've received and look for resources internally and externally for how to improve the issues that have been raised. Have you been misusing language features? Writing incorrect unit tests? Improperly using abstractions? Scoping functions incorrectly? Make sure that the feedback you've received follows the style guide and tool use cases. Come up with a plan to address the legitimate issues. As others have mentioned, writing a checklist of pre-review items and doing your own code review is indispensable, as well as learning how to make use of any integration testing environments and debuggers that you have access to.

Finally, ask your team leadership for help. Have a chat with your manager. Do this after you have done the research so you have some specific examples of mistakes you've made in the context of coding practices at your company and your plans to address them, including asking for specific mentorship prior to implementation, like design review. Why to ask for management's help and not go to the devs directly? your performance is their job - where a senior dev may not realize it's their job to mentor you until the manager asks them to. Letting your team leadership know that you are being proactive to address this issue will go a long way and unlock more resources that you need. Design review could be whiteboard sessions but I personally prefer design documents describing what the feature will do, why it is needed, how it will work, and what the implementation milestones are. You bring this to the session for editing/feedback, don't go empty-handed and expect to design stuff on the fly.

Regarding your velocity concerns, this will/should come up during your conversations with your manager about your skill development. One good way to improve perceived velocity is to break down features into smaller milestones and complete those at a quicker cadence. Having a design document/review will help do this.

Asking how to improve is the first step. Good luck!
