Very likely if you edit the submission you can put it back. HN strips several things from submissions, including leading numbers, and obvious swear words. This helps prevent the most crude forms of spamming, but you can go through the effort of editing the title to restore most of them.

Think of it as a kind of CAPTCHA.

Sell-side == banks, selling financial instruments / market access to investors.

Buy-side == hedge funds, proprietary trading companies, high-frequency market makers, maybe also VCs, PEs, investing (their own or other people's) money, buying financing / market access / financial instruments from the sell-side.

I guess this is most useful if you don't live in the country you want to learn the language for. Native English speaker living in Germany here who speaks fluent German, but still lives most of his life in English. Movies are a good way to keep up language practice, but there's no way I'd want to dub "Marriage Story" or whatever in German. There are plenty of German films on Netflix which I can simply watch with CC German subs, if needed. At any rate, it's still a cool idea, particularly if you lived in, say, Spain, but wanted to see German subtitles.
I think they're absolutely worth it. The interruption of flow is minor, because they're predictable. You can plan around them. If you're working on something really complex and urgent, I don't mind if you skip it occasionally (but don't make that a habit).

I think it's good to start the day together, with some idea of what everybody is working on. It helps to detect some issues that otherwise might be ignored or detected too late. Generally, communication is good, and short communication is better.
> This will interrupt programming flow.

This for me is the biggest drawback. When you are in the zone and interrupted it takes long to get back in the flow again.

Another point is I don't solve problems in a linear fashion. When I am stuck I sometimes jump to another part of the application that I know I will have to tackle later on. That's just me. This is hard to explain in Agile with a PM/scrum master present.

Edit: PM/scrum master because we have mixed environment.
Sell: brokerages.

Basically the buy side try to be smarter/better/faster/stronger than everyone else, the sell side try to provide an essential service to the buy side, whether that’s a good platform or liquidity or whatever.

People who deal in megabytes have different problems than people who deal in petabytes.

Usually just turn it off. At least at first. Note I’m talking diagnostic here; If I need the log messages obviously I have to write a custom streaming system even if the system printf is fast enough because the API complicates recovery.

Printf can also vary in performance by 10msec or more based on the internal state. That’s not good enough since my entire application has a hard limit of around 30msec. I can’t even do one printf — even every N messages (for any N) because I’ll never catch up.
It used to be the case, but replaceable batteries disappeared in the race to flatness...
Why stop at mobile phones? Is there a reason laptops need so many different connectors? I am willing to bet many random connectors are just planned obsolescence or a secondary revenue stream for producers.

Also, let's take this further. Any reason laptop displays can't internally have a rather standardised connector? We are throwing away perfectly good displays on broken laptops. What if I could buy a $20 adaptor and use that laptop display as an external screen?

The amount of anti-consumer and anti-reuse measures the hardware industry does is baffling.
I like to alternate these. One day we do a round robin, the other we walk the board. It helps to have different perspectives on the work you're doing.
I agree with this, I found that if you go for the Round Robin format, often, people are just thinking about what are they going to say next, and how to make it sound like actual valuable work rather than listen to the colleagues. It gets akward when some people get a lot done (apparently) and others not, also not everyone knows how to "sell" their work, and IMO it can create weird dynamics.

Walking the board is much more helpful for the team and retrospectives and one to ones can be used to talk about productivity differences, individualities and other issues.
Cool, are they calling APIs that give fingerprinting data? Using tracking images?

Because unless you have evidence they're abusing their data collection (as, you know, a lot of websites do) I'm not buying the FUD.
Don't know much about it, other than that it has a version of variable expansion in symlinks that I liked on Apollo's Aegis, then Domain/OS, back in the day.

Aegis had a better read() syscall than Unix. You would give it a buffer, but it would return a pointer into its buffer cache if it could, and only copy to your buffer if not.
Personally I don't like the daily scrum meetings need a coordinated time. For the company I currently remotely work for, it's fine for my colleagues if I just write down in Slack what I worked on during the day at whatever time is convenient for me.
Believe me, they’re coming for that too. Pretty much every hedge fund manager these days seems to reckon that “alpha” is automatable.

It's also one of the reason I try to keep phones for as long as possible until buying a new one. I loathe all that bloatware and hate dealing with it with every brand new one.
(Lots of) people like Candy Crush. For them this is like how Windows comes with a nice solitaire game.
For a small remote company like ours, it would be exhausting to do daily scrum meetings. Instead, we have an hour-long weekly scrum meeting on Monday and it's more effective.
> Goldman Sachs have an internal language

I think we can forgive them for saying that if the exception is not readily available.
This is like pop music. The guests are all the people I'm supposed to admire but I don't feel anything.
There are phones without all the bloatware For eg. Nokia Android phones, Moto phones etc.
This is pretty amazing! would appreciate some more documentation on this and perhaps some benchmarks.
Cheesy preinstalled apps is the main reason I go iOS not Android.
Premature Optimization Is Dangerous
There's no PM present in the Scrum daily. In fact, there's no PM in Scrum.

Jumping between different stories before finishing them is fine in solo projects, but if you're working with others, it means more code conflicts. That said, it is absolutely possible to work on multiple stories in Scrum.
Even if Lion Air had done simulator training, it seems unlikely to have helped, unless there was specifically material on MCAS or at least stabilizer runaway by the electric trim system.

One airline demanding and getting simulator time doesn't help if the decision has already been made to not inform pilots about MCAS. Boeing's flight rules model has always been around the pilot(s) having situational awareness and being in absolute control; the problem with MCAS is not what it does, or that it's needed to avoid stalling, the problem is that it was not known to pilots, that it operates without any clear indication that it's operating, and that it can only be disabled by disabling electric trim, and that manual trim is extremely difficult to impossible to use if the stabilizer is at full nose down (there was an old 737 procedure for this, but it was removed some number of redesigns ago, it was reportedly not in the 737 NG manual)
Not the person you’re replying to, but:

> shouldn't we rather optimize and separate the high-bandwidth stuff, so we can keep using malloc-per-object for the unimportant stuff?

If it helps, sure, but one problem that shows up nasty at high bandwidth is variable latency: malloc might be too clever and vary on the order of msec and with hard-real-time environments you can’t amortise the cost over multiple messages since missing one means you never catch back up (without e.g. throwing data away)

I also noticed this.

We came up with a variant to fix this. You have to say what the next person in the circle said they'd do yesterday before your talk.

This forced everyone to pay more attention as you don't know who would be standing next to you tomorrow. It wasn't easy to do but I think it did make people more aware of what was going on.
The latter is a first-party app; I don't see how it's comparable.
The Warriors and the Myth of the Silicon Valley-Driven Team
I agree with the importance of Scrum Master in the meeting but from a different perspective. Without a dedicated Scrum Master the meetings often feel either flat or take an off-topic life of their own. I believe that sort of communication is also important but should then be done outside of the Daily.

Yes, quite. I have a friend who was only 26/27 and took home 325,000 USD as his bonus.

Another is cagey about what he earns but it's stipulated he earns more than the number above.

Meanwhile another friend at a different hedge-fund had a budget over ~20k USD to decorate his personal office at work.

The excesses of finance are absolutely still alive and well but somehow the buy-side has managed to escape the public eye (presumably because they're mostly private)

You can discuss when the rewrite is done, that way it wastes less of your time: you can talk about non-hypothetical existing thing. If the discussion shows that the rewrite is bad then it's his problem: he has to fix or revert.

Plus even the initial rewrite is more time-consuming to do if he doesn't discuss it with the original author beforehand.
I'm from Iowa and went to a high school of around 2,000 students. They built a ~15M dollar stadium which was completed right after the marching band season. Not quite the $50M stadium(s) of Texas, but still excessive.
This is so disgusting. I hope they will go to bankruptcy for what they have done.
You joke, but the "engineers engineer until ready don't break flow" trope is one of the most dangerous things that can happen to a project which is why putting emphasis on _daily_ communication (not just communication) is kinda important.

I'm going to assume the GP meant blockers rather than grievances. Grievances are more like injustices and shouldn't really be aired at standups in a healthy team.

Phones are still able to output analog (and digital!) audio using a dongle.

Ducking behind accessibility because you don't want to use a dongle seems a little disingenuous.
Grievances should relate to a ticket on the board, if not then make a ticket for it, if not that then is the grievance important?
Yes, and it worked out pretty well for all manufactures sans Apple.

Now as we see a shift from Micro-USB to USB-C form factor the whole discussion really is more of customer adoption and fading out of old hardware.

The case with Apple is and will be their claim that they are not willing to encumber their power interface for the sake of standardisation when their interfaces are oh so more advanced than those of the others.
No, I mean that when project is successful a need for daily (or other detailed sync) doesn't diminish. You are still making decisions, plan complex features and communicate with the same humans, only company account has more zeroes, that's all difference.

PS: in our case SMs and POs are actually doing useful work and we aren't holding any worthless meetings which are solely to entertain people not doing anything. If that was what you implied.

If it eventually makes into production, this is going to be BIG. It should drastically reduce cost of manufacture of composite parts. Albeit it seems like new approach will not be applicable for entusiast use since it requires custom setup for particular part.

> "Instead of placing layers of material inside an oven to cure, the researchers essentially wrapped them in an ultrathin film of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). When they applied an electric current to the film, the CNTs, like a nanoscale electric blanket, quickly generated heat, causing the materials within to cure and fuse together.

With this out-of-oven, or OoO, technique, the team was able to produce composites as strong as the materials made in conventional airplane manufacturing ovens, using only 1 percent of the energy."

"[] the rich shade of blue used in the prints was imported from Europe. Prussian blue, as it's commonly known, was a synthetic color created in the 18th century and prized for its depth and durability.
That Hokusai employed the hue as the principal actor in his oceanic drama suggests that he was depicting Japan on the cusp of change."

Or he just liked this new blue colour that was now available, he needed blue for his waves, and we shouldn't read more into it than that.

"As much as the wave portends instability and danger, it also suggests possibility and adventure."

To some viewers, perhaps. But the wording makes it sound like this was the original artist's idea - and of this we have no idea.

Forgot to say: creator here - happy to answer any questions about BrainyTab :)

I wrote a blog post about why we built it, but I'll summarise it here.

A while ago, my wife and I became interested in Cognitive Biases and we wanted my wife to do more digital marketing. We wanted to work together and after she didn't let me buy a copy of the Cognitive Bias Codex because it wouldn't fit our home, we decided to build a browser extension to get constant reminders that these biases exist.
Initially, we built MyCognitiveBias but then we had feedback asking for more features and more topics. So we built BrainyTab and added Mental Models and Dark Patterns and we're looking to add more (e.g. Game Theory games).

Happy to answer any questions you guys might have.

Thanks
That's not a cheat, just a solution with some trade-offs.
Yes you can (provided you have Bash and a system that supports process substitution):

command 2>&1 > >(cat - | cat - > fd1) | cat - | cat - > fd2

Note, the extra 'cats' are just to show a "string of commands".

How to read this:

When Bash sets up the file descriptors for 'command' it initially makes descriptor 1 refer to the pipe, and descriptor 2 refer to the terminal.

So, the dup operator (2>&1) copies the fd in descriptor 1 (which is the pipe) into descriptor 2 (so after the dup operator is processed both stderr and stdout for command reference the pipe).

Next descriptor 1 is replaced (the > operator) by a reference to a fifo created by the process substitution operator (the >(...) operator).

So now command's descriptor 1 refers to the fifo created by >() (which itself contains a "string of commands").

Then, because stderr for command was made to be a copy of what was previously stdout (before modifying stdout) it continues to refer to the pipe Bash setup (the | operator), and stderr now flows out over the pipes to another "string of commands".

Google should start with ... Google. Lot of bloatware comes from them too.
In the UK we have council tax which is a fee to local government paid monthly for services like road maintenance and waste disposal. In recent years the majority of councils have started charging double the rate on properties that are empty, even for just one month. I hope this will start to balance the disparity between empty houses and the number of homeless people.

This will be good for the low end phones. My partner mother had an lg with 8gb of storage, it came bundled with all sorts of nonsense, 2 calculators, 2 alarms, some office suite. It made installing things like whatsapp or Facebook hard because of the bloat taking up the space. This only damages the reputation of these brands for me that do this sort of thing. Skins/ui and other functions are fine, but at least let me get rid of the junk
The “oh noes!” Lock-in arguments are comical. Everything is lock-in. And it’s unlikely google makes some radical consumer change to screw people would hurt its efforts to be the #1 or #2 player. If we just focus on building on the things these cloud providers have built we can stop being leery about things and focus on the product and quit wasting cycles on things that don’t matter like the lock-in fear.
Let's take this further still. Why not mandate identical car tire sizes, having the fuel door in the same spot on every car, all the controls inside the car be universal... How about actually just making one car that embodies every European's needs?
I second the point that it's helpful to know the actual landscape, so the division within GE should definitely be listed. After all, if they end up contributing something positive it deserves visibility.

I'd add another...

20 years ago: your boss says I want X. You wouldn't ever tell them it was impossible or hard work. You'd hack it together and bend the hardware to your will.

Today: your boss says I want X. You spend a lot of time arguing if it's a necessary business function, spend a few months designing it, and then implement it in such a way that makes Fizz-Buzz Enterprise Edition look simple.

To put it shortly, incredible creative hacks are looked down on, while "elegant" solutions are a must. At least that is what it looks like from my experiences.
It's not a terrible idea. There are technical, business and regulatory reasons why that could be more difficult than you expect, but ultimately consumers have to want it, and to want it, they have to understand it, which is the greatest problem.
