As someone with more than a fair bit of experience with DISC, I wanted to provide some pushback on the article a bit:

> Erikson has repeatedly claimed that the benefit of his colour approach is that it helps us understand ourselves and others and, as a result, improves our communication and reduces conflicts. This is his argument as to why companies and organisations should adopt his approach. Since there is no scientific support for the four colours, there is naturally no support for this claim either.

Bullshit. Just because there was no study published on it in Nature doesn't mean it doesn't have value or you should dismiss it completely! If I went around proclaiming the importance of Agile, you shouldn't just dismiss me because "there is no academic support". And to more of a point, it seems unfair to single this guy out of the sea of pop-psychology and business management books.

> It is difficult to imagine a more unpleasant and unfair way of dealing with a problem than simply attributing it to the fact that the person in the centre of a conflict “is blue”.

This seems to be a gross mis-characterization of the expected outcomes of the behavioral training. The outcome of them (at least the ones I've gone through) is to reframe work conflicts away from "this guy is stupid and should be fired" to "we have completely different ways of talking through problems". In that regards it's been super freaking helpful. I don't need an academic consensus that I feel warm and fuzzy afterwards.

I strongly recommend this post from SlateStarCodex: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/05/27/on-types-of-typologies...

>The claim that MBTI gives you new information would be a bold scientific claim and would require bold scientific evidence. I don’t know to what degree the MBTI people make this claim, but I don’t think it’s necessary for me to enjoy the test and consider it useful. All it needs to do is condense the information you put into it in a way that makes it more relevant and digestible.

>Five Factor and MBTI are trying to do fundamentally different things. Five Factor is trying to give us a mathematized, objectively correct version of personality useful for research purposes. MBTI is trying to separate people into little bins that put continuous personality space into discrete and easy-to-think-about terms suitable for human processing, and even very poorly drawn bins will do a pretty good job, just like European countries.

100%, DISC is just a construct, but it can still be a super useful and effective one. Even if it's a placebo, I don't need someone running up and knocking it out of my hand and telling me they did me a favor.

Assignment to hard-coded global variable is not a return mechanism, and generally a nonstarter. It's not a viable approach for generally returning strings out shell functions everywhere in a codebase as a matter of habit.

Use of eval: still slow, because the shell eval re-processes input from the character level and up. eval should be generally avoided as much as possible in shell programming. Careless use of eval can introduce security holes (piece of untrusted datum gets evaled as an expression). You really need to have your black belt in "shell escaping karate".

Producing output and capturing with command substitution is the primary idiom for getting text out of a shell function. It has no visible side effect. The rebinding of standard output is scoped to the process substitution (and is confined to the child process, in fact), and the creation of the temporary process and pipe, expensive as they might be, are invisible to the program semantics.

In summary, what you propose here is not only vanishingly atypical, but also bad coding practice.
This is my main concern too. That I'll fund the research and then not be able to afford the treatment.

something like "You gave $50 a month for 20 yrs to unlock the treatment, but now it costs $10000 and you cannot afford that? Too bad."
'Only' quoting: 'Serious visual noise'

'I think there are very real costs.'

First off all, "misuse" of autocomplete can be very annoying. Some autocomplete system autocompletes with you.

IN ORWELLS REALITY: It isn’t doing the quote matching to save on your typing, but to keep the scanner from providing the wrong tokens to the parser of a compiler that is running all the time while you are typing.

So... 'Human Interface' ? ^^

I think it is less "physics literacy" and more a complete lack of teaching and using critical thinking / reasoning. For whatever reason, the West in general (and maybe the world) seems to be spending less and less time on critical thinking and more time on picking a side and then running with it. I have no idea if this is true or just a feeling I have, but if I was a betting man and it is, I would blame media and short attention spans.
Question: If SpaceX is successful in developing the Starship, couldn't they launch huge space telescopes for a very low cost? I'd imagine that SpaceXs efforts will be a net positive for astronomers in the end. If the satellite problems becomes too big, maybe they should offer discounts for launching space telescopes.

Another question.. if you are building a radio telescope in space, could you just use a thin foil that folds out like origami for the reflector?

Have you tried to be a scientist yourself and getting some numbers to test your hypothesis?
Whether or not we call them "good", the fallacy is that if a person takes an exploitative job as their least-worst option, that this is somehow acceptable.

Perhaps in some idealized distopia, but not in any kind of modern society that is sustainable.

>>who gave Walmart the responsibility to provide their employees a "living amount" of money, and whose responsibility is it for the unemployed?

The same govt that sets the minimum wage, pay 7 overtime requirements, work safety requirements, etc.

The entire structure of worker protection was developed precisely because previous generations finally figured out that the arguments you make are empty - Allowing unfetterd exploitation of workers results in a few rich capitalists, horrific Dickensian living conditions for most, and ends in revolution with even worse conditions.

If you don't want to "make value judgements", you need only to look at whether practices will sustainably improve society.

However, by avoiding those value judgements and the answer above, you are also basically saying that it is perfectly OK with you that I took the title to your house for that 5gal of water and map. I wonder if you are comfortable with that kind of value judgement.

Your logic is predicated on the assumption that we currently have optimal processes for boarding/deplaning (given human psychology). Anyone with a passing familiarity with the airline industry knows how ludicrous it is to make the assumption that everything is run optimally[1]. Your assumption is just as "fucking stupid" and only marginally less contrived than my (facetious) hypothetical.

> This whole comment thread seems to be full of single tech bros that are mad they can't get off the plane faster, and are trying to design "solutions" and "algorithms" to make it faster, all while assuming every other passenger is also a single person who can deplane as fast as them.

You've clearly only read a fraction of the comments if you think that no one's thinking about (eg) family boarding and deplaning. And "tech bro" is a pretty reliable tell for "I'm hopelessly out of depth when it comes to comprehending this conversation".

[1] This isn't quite a knock on airlines themselves; the economics of the industry leads to bizarre incentives.
I really, really like this idea 'StavrosK, so thanks for making this site.

I contributed the iOS version of Seedship: I played it a few weeks ago, and it had no IAP or in-game currency to speak of [0]. I only have an iPhone, so I cannot test the Android version [1]. I strongly suspect that the answer is no given that the two web versions do not have those things [2][3].

This project did give me follow on idea though that others here mentioned and/or alluded to in this this thread: content blockers for the App Store/Play Store. Apple and Google only check for a number of things when reviewing app submissions: malware checks, conformance with local laws, major performance issues, certain security issues etc. What if a user could download content blockers to block apps that they don’t want to see? Apple and Google get to free themselves of having to break ties between content curation and being a censor. Users who want use apps that are vetted by a third-party of their choosing to achieve some purpose would be able to do so e.g. apps for children. I’m not sure exactly what Apple or Google would have to accomplish this, but I think they could some of their organization app policy logic combined with a few other things e.g. forbidding side-loading, or adding additional content-blocker specific app signatures that an app could optionally have. There is a good chance that this would hurt advertising, so there would be the appropriate and proportional pushback. However, I consider that to be an expression of what the market wants.

The feature is there. I assume our code is still used, but it may have been rewritten since I retired. You can use this as an example if you like: https://www.extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/FNR/FNR-269-W.pdf

(which is random, but you need two columns in the PDF). Try select from column 1 near the bottom, across to column 2.

PDFs are very diverse. Our algorithm does not always work, alas, but it is significantly better than what existed before.

In fact, for some reason, it works well for this document on page 1 and 3 but not so well on page 2! But I no longer have access to the low level tools I used to use to figure out what went wrong.

Hgh works wonders used it for about 3 months and got sixpack doing hardly any workout. Lost all excess fat. Got a better sleeping pattern. Its easy to get your hands on online. Problem is that its mad expensive even more so with a prescription as the stuff without you might get was stolen or a cheaper brand.
What you will guarantee is that if you ever agree to take one of these tests, you'll only ever be seen through that lens. It becomes self-fulfilling, and people see what they want to see. The people setting and commissioning the tests are somehow always a miraculous and perfect blend of all of the colours.

Was this an employee holiday bonus, or a public promotion called "Apple Holiday Bonus?" I don't see anything in it making it employee-specific. I think it might just be a play on words.
I hold the opposite view. I think this type of segmentation of people is (1)beneficial and (2)mostly harmless.

(1) The sole reason for the feeling of "being surrounded by idiots" is lack of understanding of the other. If someone has different opinions/behaviors/moral values than I do, the easiest thing I could do is just label them "Idiot". Real understanding and empathy are just too hard. Actually, this also true when looking at one's own behaviour. We are mostly quick to judge and be angry at ourselves.

Having a system such as this (even if it is pseudo-scientific) gives one pause in judgement. For example: John isn't an idiot or an asshole, he's just a Green. The implicit idea here is that John doesn't do it on purpose, he's part of a group. So I should be more accepting of him and I should learn to deal with Greens' quirks better. This neutral judgement (instead of the negative one) automatically side-steps the anger, elicits more empathy and accepts partial responsibility for the interactions. It also gives a feeling of increased understanding of "how the world works" which feels good (even if it's false). This also works when introspectively looking at one's own behaviour: Us Blues have a hard time doing X. I should be easier with myself.

The actual underpinned theory is irrelevant (as so far as the aforementioned benefits are considered). It works just as well with "John's just a Gemini/INTP/Type 8". It's just the ability to attribute something to the person's actions I dislike other than stupidity or incompetence.

(2) People love this stuff. Personality segmentation models are abundant and people love taking assessment quizzes. Astrology, Enneagram, Big-5, Myer&Briggs and many others. I'd venture off saying that most people don't take these things too seriously. Even the theories themselves recognize that human's personality can't really fit nicely in n boxes, so all of them have "extensions": You can be several colors, Astrology has "horizons", Ennegram has "wings", Big5 gives a running score to each trait, etc. Proponents of a system can easily utter something like "Mary's not a typical Aries, though". So while there are some people that might take it too far, I feel it's mostly used benignly.

The fact that the theory behind some of these systems are anywhere between questionable to down right ludicrous is a pickle, though. But sometimes system benefit people even when the people don't understand the mechanism in which they do, or hold a wrong one. Therfor truth seeking shouldn't, in and of it self, be enough of a reason to tear down such a system. This idea was explored in an article posted here a few days ago:

Sure but this is what they say and what they believe. Literally. Armies of programmers believe this and your statement won't convince them.

It always goes into philosophical mumbo jumbo. I'm looking for quantitative and logical proofs that say definitively why functional is better. You do see how your statement will just trigger a vague retort from an OOP guy which will trigger a bunch of other vague retorts and counter examples from you. The end game is it goes nowhere.

If I want to be pedantic, the official term is normal order. You are wrong on this. See SICP chapter 1.
I can't agree about poor families being at a special disadvantage here. It's true that a computer costs more than paper and pencils, but families being too poor to afford a cheap chromebook is not a problem inherent in education. It's more of an indicator of a bad state of society. Of course, educators have to work within existing limits, but I wouldn't use it as a criticism of the idea.

Besides, kids from poor families are probably already disadvantaged in more significant ways, like not having too much time with their parents, since they have to work longer.
This site is awesome! Have you thought about extending it to check for the position of the ISS? I would assume that information is probably readily available, as well.
That also means students using spellcheck is not necessarily a problem, so long as they can communicate effectively in writing.

Yup, just open Preview for an image (possibly other documents as well e.g., PDF), go into “markup” mode, and begin to draw with the pen or pencil. Preview will try to “perfect” your drawn check mark, X, straight line, curved line, etc.
It is surprising to see that Steve Jobs is the most-featured person on a site that says it is dedicated to “unsung heroes”. It looks like it’s just about Apple in general.

Going from “all about Jobs” to “look at our cutting-edge emoji designs” is a nice encapsulation of Apple history. I know that many people hope the period from Jobs’ death to Ives’ departure was just a phase. But it feels like we’re down to the wire product-wise. The new MBP is a nice start but before long the iPhone SE will reach end-of-life and I just don’t want a flat brick with three cameras and no audio port.

On the tech strategy side, we're moving everyone we can off of traditional ERPs and into cloud-based systems. Salesforce is largely taking their place as the CRM, with purpose-built solutions (often leveraging cloud-based ML models) for downstream functions. All the consulting companies have process maps, which are honestly where most of the value of traditional ERP comes in.

TCO factoring in implementation costs is a fraction of a traditional ERP and is far easier to keep up to date. Most ERP implementations still have a lag of a month or so before data is consistent.
Choosing an item from a list is not the right way to use autocomplete. IMHO, autocomplete is a good way to make sure you don't have typos. I never choose from a list. I always type enough letters to make sure the current one is the one I want and then hit tab.

The 'hero simulator' stuff really came in with AD&D 2e, when the writers started trying to wedge in stuff in a way motivated less by the heritage of D&D and more because D&D was the only tabletop system they knew and they wanted to stick to it even when doing so didn't make much sense.

The trend continued into 3e, which got transformed by pieces into a quasi-generic fantasy system with elaborate rules for all kinds of things that were totally incongruent with the original dungeon-crawling tone, like pointlessly elaborate oversimulation of monsters (who cares that a CE aberration has a +3 Craft modifier?) or entire social debate systems.

4e backtracked on that trend somewhat by throwing away most of the superfluous detail about monsters and the unnecessary minutiae of modeling every aspect of a PC's life, but a lot of fans got pointlessly mad about it using condensed formatting for combat abilities and about how spellcasters no longer got to break the game with 3e's take on high level spells (which had all the remaining limitations and balance points from AD&D 2e stripped out in the name of streamlining rules), so we got 5e, which in a lot of ways uses the guts of 4e with a more bounded math (one of its few improvements) and abilities rewritten to be more wordy, plus spellcasters get 9th-level spells again.

My personal favorite in the field at the moment is actually Pathfinder 2e, which despite originating from a mostly-clone of 3.5 (Pathfinder 1e) actually does a lot of interesting stuff by mixing bounded math and more AD&D 1e-like hard limits on safe casting and magical effects with well-defined mechanics, huge amounts of character customization, and character roles both in and out of combat designed to encourage and require teamwork for the best results.
Ask HN: What Agile / Kanban / Scrum Tools Use Gamification for the UX?
I am looking for Agile, Kanban, or Scrum tools that present a fun and gamified UX experience. This is surprisingly hard to search for. I recall a SaaS tool about a year ago that presented a fantasy theme for small teams. I cannot find that product, nor is there really a segment of Agile etc that focuses on Gamification. There are Agile games, though they are for instruction, and learning the Agile concepts. Any help appreciated, and of course hn is where I turn because this is probably where I read about it awhile ago though the search feature is NOT turning it up!
Serialization for one thing. You can work with JSON extremely freely without creating weird serializable classes for every combination of data you might need to work with - eg, no class named "DoodadList" for when you want to de-serialize a JSON list (maybe that's a Unity3D thing?).

You can nest functions nicely and work with closures when it makes sense, if you like that sort of thing.

The async programming model is also really nice to work with.

You also don't need to create classes for every noun, verb, and adjective in your system either - when all you need is a function, you just write a function, not some weird object to hold it.

You also don't have to write a f after all of your decimal values to tell the silly compiler that you mean for 0.25 to be a float. (this one truly does not matter, but there are a lot of little things like this that add up)

I know you can do a lot of that in C#, but its just so effortless in javascript. You just need to be more disciplined about how you code it
