A colleague of mine who I value as a good tech lead recently wrote some tips based on his experience: https://medium.com/swlh/two-lessons-youll-learn-in-your-firs...

He also just published another article about quality technical communication, which I'd highly recommend both you and your team read through: https://medium.com/@tpagram/a-guide-to-improving-your-techni...
We have been here before :( You can have a complete explanation without Bernoulli, or including it. It is not a necessary component of a rigorous explanation.
They aren't though. As I've stated in other comments, airline travel is incredibly safe. About 500x safer than driving.

This "life and death" talk is just tabloid sensationalism. The numbers don't support it, all. Airline travel is the safest means of transports that exists, or has ever existed, by quite a margin.
Yes, I've heard this bromide for a very long time -- my whole life, really.

It's an outrageous lie.

The only people it disenfranchises are those who would seek to stuff the ballot with illegal votes. Think of how many people it ENABLES by not having Voter ID.

That issue is not discussed in these articles, it's just dismissed as there not being any evidence. Wow, great reporting! Zero zilch nada? Not a scrap?

Do you think some of these journalists would do their job and look for some? It's not really hard to find. Look, I found one! I bet there's more, too.

If your argument is that Voter ID disproportionately affects "minorities and people of color" then I would say you should re-evaluate the way you think about these people.

I spent many years in some of the harshest places in the Bronx and I can tell you that the issues people face in these communities are not issues about getting government IDs.

Moreover, would not the voice of minorities and people of color be MOST at risk? Shouldn't we do everything we can to make sure their votes are not canceled by illegal voting?

PS, here is a short list of other countries that have Voter ID.

Mexico
India
Greece
Argentina
Canada

I love building speakers, and I've been doing it off and on for almost 20 years.

Here's the thing: I can't build speakers very often, because it's expensive, they take up space, and I really don't need multiple sets of speakers for every room in my house.

Furthermore, if I built speakers for money, I'd have to charge thousands of dollars for a set just to justify my time; or I'd have to figure out how to grow volume to get anywhere near the low cost and high quality of factory-built speakers. In both cases, that means spending a lot of time "hustling."

So, I just build a new set of speakers whenever I want a new set. I don't try to turn it into a business.

No, it isn't. However, let's assume it is. If you don't pay your (separate and presumably uncontroversial) federal taxes, you become a felon and legally disenfranchised. It becomes clear this is all a minor accounting detail.
The Army’s Polish Bridge Problem
The article cannot be distilled to that single sentence. Framing the financial facts as a precursor to a recession by explicitly referencing the last tech bubble that burst carries with it implications that a skimmer may take away from the article if they weren't reading very critically. This is what FUD looks like in the wild. It's much more subtle and devious than the millions of Twitter bots spamming "sell $TSLA".

you are very correct - authors are doing a fascinating and smart parallel, but the analogy (contrast X-RAY imaging) is wrong. A radioactive element (F-18) marking a glucose molecule for tracking sugar metabolism in the human body with an imager (PET) is what they mean. This is one of many techniques in the field of nuclear medicine or molecular imaging.
Seems interesting to have people sharing these, so I'll happily chime in.

Edited, with a list of apps:

- VMWare Fusion (mostly just for fun things like trying out Linux distros and messing with TempleOS and old versions of Windows, mainly);

- Dropbox (Smart Sync);

- Trip Mode (for certain WiFi networks, namely tethering, enforces a whitelist of things allowed to use the network);

- Intel's Power Gadget thing (can give power usage and clock speed stats from the Intel CPU & Platform; I don't use this much).
I see this on a daily basis and have seen in at multiple companies:

"Non-Senior" engineers who have to pretty much mentor "Senior" engineers; the "Senior" being given the title due to X years of experience instead of actual knowledge and knowhow and of course the reverse where the "Non-Senior" does not get promoted because he does not have the required ~years of experience~.

I see it more rarely amongst higher job titles though. It's more difficult for a senior engineer to make it to lead or principal when they do not have the skills.

I've only done 3-days and not 7, but for n=1:

- make sure to consume salt (adding to water is the easiest); if anything, err on the side of both too much water, and too much salt (we normally consume a lot of both through food).

- Some people still consume certain zero-calorie items, like black coffee, green tea, or bone broth. You still get most of the fasting benefits, and it might be a good way to start (bone broth with added salt is a great way to keep electrolytes up, and fill your stomach).

- I experienced a bit of back pain; apparently muscle pains are common, especially with new fasters. Accounts vary on this being evidence of "detox", or a side effect of mineral deficiency; but supplementing minerals in water probably couldn't hurt.

- Dr. Jason Fung is a great resource: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIuj-oMN-Fk

- You'll find it odd that you don't know what to do during mealtimes. :) Have a plan for another way to take a break during lunchtime, etc.

First chapter; the lobsters are afraid of steganographic covert channels in the training data for their translator:

> Manfred drains his beer glass, sets it down, stands up, and begins to walk along the main road, phone glued to the side of his head. He wraps his throat mike around the cheap black plastic casing, pipes the input to a simple listener process. "Are you saying you taught yourself the language just so you could talk to me?"

> "Da, was easy: Spawn billion-node neural network, and download Teletubbies and Sesame Street at maximum speed. Pardon excuse entropy overlay of bad grammar: Am afraid of digital fingerprints steganographically masked into my-our tutorials."

I guess it would have only been a major plot point if the digital fingerprints had turned out to be present and had tripped some kind of monitoring system.
Much like a randomized controlled trial, the high-pass filters tend to render the nature-nurture argument a moot point. In fact, raising it mostly makes me worry about the more racist aspects of anthropology leaking into the discussion.
I went down this rabbit hole a long time ago and saw a therapist about it. I would suggest you do the same.

That said, they basically told me that if you're worried about being a narcissist or trying to change it then you probably aren't a candidate for NPD diagnosis. Simply put people with NPD don't even consider that they might be wrong or flawed.

That doesn't mean you don't have something to fix, but it's worth seeing a professional.

No, I'm not. They've invested their time, which is significantly more limited than yours at any company that's at a scale to be hiring, in jumping through your hoops. The least a decent person does is provide them with why it was for nothing.

And if your employer thinks you shouldn't be decent, quit.
One of my favorite parts of the Tao Te Ching is this:

A leader is best when people barely know that he exists, not so good when people obey and acclaim him, worst when they despise him. Fail to honor people, They fail to honor you. But of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aims fulfilled, they will all say, “We did this ourselves.”

Your role is now defined by what your team needs you to be. Listen to them, care, and see what you can do to help them thrive.
> Unless they each lied about having a contractors' license when asked, they didn't "pose" as anything,

It is often the case, legally, where offering one's services for work requiring a particular license is, absent any explicit disclaimer, a representation that one has the legally-required license.
Ask HN: ICSI Netalyzr Replacement?
For the last decade (until early 2019), ICSI Netalyzer (which lived at http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu/) was a wonderful tool for checking and debugging network problems of all descriptions, with checks for a really large number of things, from MTU problems to malicious DNS providers to bufferbloat. It's been my go-to tool any time I've needed to debug weird network issues for quite a while.

Unfortunately, last year, that project was shut down and the website mothballed. Unfortunately, the client (a java app, running in either a browser, or out of a local .jar) needs to talk to the netalyzr server to be able to do its job, so it is now useless, and no source has been released for the client or the server, so the tool is effectively dead at this point.

So, my question is: Does anyone know of a replacement that has a bulk of the functionality that netalyzr had? I've been looking for a few months now, and I've not been able to find anything that even begins to work as a reasonable substitute.

Has anyone had better luck finding a replacement than I have?
Craft by Lft (2008)
Surely you understood what I was saying but so we don't talk past one another: Yes there is a category of people called an immigrant that one can define. However when you look at groups or even individuals in that category there are certain differences, many times vast and very meaningful differences, between the things in each of those categories. So to treat the whole group the same would be foolhardy; thus the need for a selection process. If you had to purchase 10 sheep from a group of 100 would you not buy the best sheep you could afford or the best pizza you could afford?

This seems like a weird way to look at the problem. Hardware also has software/logic. The only reason it appears more stable is that people are shit scared of finding a bug that can't be fixed. If we delay the software release as long as a hardware development takes, with corresponding QA, I don't see why switching it all to hardware is going to make any more sense. Immutability is all it has, unless you are somehow implying that one can be hacked (by bad actors) and the other can't be.
Cool article. So the final goal is to understand something about the way human brain operates.

I remember reading that human visual perception has some patterns like "Objects with same shape/color appear to be similar" and why visual illusions play with our mind.

Do we have information that animals do share those patterns or are vulnerable to some of the illusions?
What is EGA? (Enhanced Graphics Adapter? Extended Graphics Adapter?)

I clicked on the link assuming that there would be some kind of explanation, but the page itself doesn't make much sense unless you already know a rather significant amount of context.
I could see its use in math-heavy code as well. That might be a rather narrow domain, but one where features like this (or operator overloading for another example) do help to reduce syntactic pain.
From 2005
in typescript I have something like

type theThing = {
thing1: string,
thing2: string
};

and the actual object:
const thing:Thing = { thing: 'hello', thing2:'more hello' };

"Thing" is not an object, I can't do Thing.new() etc. If I use a class in typescript it behaves just like you would expect C# / Java to.

This allows some really fun stuff with unions where I could do something like

const operateOnThings = (thing: Thing | Thing1 | Thing2) => {
//do something based on what kind of thing it is
}

Or I can build other types off of it like :
type newThing = Pick<Thing, 'thing1'> & { newerThing: number};

Which is something I would have to do a lot of work with interfaces with in order to implement in C#. (I haven't done C# in a few years but I do love the hell out of it).

African immigrants can have racist beliefs about black Americans just as much as anyone. (Including black Americans.) Kendi's "How to be an Antiracist" gets into this in a way I found to be eye-opening.
Funnily enough, back when I was doing improv at school/university, I've found a great portion of the people there to be among the most self-absorbed people I've ever met. A lot of them were genuinely funny people, but there was a lot of ego, tribalism, people wanting to be stars, etc etc. It was actually one of the reasons why I got scared out of continuing in a local league after graduation, even if I'd done it for four years and thoroughly enjoyed it.
You don't have to charge enough to justify your time if it's an activity you enjoy doing for free. Could easily sell them on a commission basis, limiting how many you offer to whatever you would enjoy, and then just charge materials plus a small profit that you can put toward funding your own projects. Less charging for your labor as securing funding for your hobby.
That's just propaganda based on speculation about what the "other side" intends with voter ID laws. People want voter ID laws so that non citizens can't vote. This is the reason why many developed countries around the world have some form of voter ID.

This is not a difficult topic, nor is it a very nuanced one; voter ID laws in the United States are and have been overwhelmingly racist. The answers to your questions are very much easily at hand, and we don't need to argue in ignorance. I understand it can be frustrating to see evidence that you are unprepared for; yet in order to have substantive conversations, we must be ready for such evidence, and consider it when it is present.

From my cynical experience it's a way to "reward" individual contributors with a meaningless title to make them feel like they are advancing their careers. It's purely responsibility without empowerment. In my naive days I was told I was a "tech lead" and I was very proud until I realized this meant being a scape goat for project's misfortunes without having the ability to schedule other people's time and thus materially change the way things as opposed to being the midnight oil superhero. Since then I never accepted such nonsense.

I was satisfied personally when they added a mute button for previews, but I'm glad an even "stronger" option now exists.

A bit unrelated, but: anyone remember in the "early" days when Netflix held competitions to develop the most accurate recommendation and ratings engines? Giving out million dollar prizes? And held possibly state-of-the-art tech for this?

And then one day completely gutted the star rating system, replacing it with a much-despised "thumbs up/down" system, giving up their "so good it's magical" recommendations for something that feels less accurate than a coin flip...

Traffic is of course nice but in the end not the goal, just a tool. Traffic by itself even increases costs.
In the end, you usually want to have customers, not traffic.
To be even more precise, you want HAPPY customers, because then they will remain customers and also bring new ones.

That means you still need good content and a good product more than a lot of traffic.
