And why should they? What's wrong with trying out something like Thinkpad X series[1] instead? Or Thinkpad P series, which can now come with Ubuntu LTS pre-installed. I wonder, if they would have invested so much time in fixing Dell's issues for Dell. Probably not. Why? Because there is no Dell's lock-in.

Don't forget that each member of your team is a unique individual. Just like raising kids, there is not a one size fits all formmula. Get to know each member of your team on a personal level. This will go a long way in building trust and being able to lead them effectively.
Ten tips to become a successful remote team manager
You don't need a publicly signed certificate if the services are only used internally. It's not like you want people to look at your database with a browser anyway. All you need to is create a private CA and then two private keys/certificates (one for server, one for client) sign it with the CA and add the server certificate to the database, add the client certificate to your web server that accesses the database and finally add the self signed CA to both database and webserver.

There is no cryptographic security benefit of publicly vs privately signed certificates. After all publicly signed certificates are just privately signed certificates whose CA has been added to your CA store. So just add your own CA to whatever program is needed (do not add your own CA to the whole system). The annoyance is keeping those certificates and CAs up to date. Tools like Hashicorp Vault can automatically generate certificates for you if you want to automate this part.
Nope, they have definitely removed supercharging entirely from salvaged cars.

Fraudulent abuse of copyright law is the name of the game on Youtube and there's nothing creators can do about. Fair Use is increasingly a myth in actual practice thanks to robo take down requests.
Agreed and what your describing actually happens in a lot of work environments. I've seen a trend in the last few years where middle management is attempting to separate "programmers" from "engineers/architects". In these environments the "programmers" don't really have the luxury of sitting with the business or product teams nor the luxury of taking part in the design process.

What ensues is actually comical. During "grooming" sessions the "programmers" are meant to give accurate estimates of how long (I know time is not meant to be the metric but it always is) a story will take to complete. A story which there are many, many person hours of context baked in that the "programmer" is seeing for the first time.

Context is worth 80 IQ points --- Alan Kay.
And the EU should block that on the same grounds.
This isn't surprising at all to me. All Apple has to do is put "i7" on the box and their customers will eat it up and then just browse Facebook and YouTube. Their whole shtick for years has been selling "pro" devices to regular consumers who aspire to be pros.
Would you recommend any resources to learn how to effectively build a scalable modern web app? I haven't worked with Angular for about a year now, but I didn't use NGRX or similar alternative and I distinctly remember that managing state for the app got progressively harder as the app got more complex.

technically the modern moog model d's are clones of the original moogs too so equally unethical.

EDIT: "After the sale of Moog Music, production of the Minimoog stopped in the early 1980s. In 2002, after founder Robert Moog regained the rights to the Moog brand and bought the company, the Minimoog Voyager, an updated version, was released. In 2016, the company released a new version of the original Minimoog."

It mostly seems unnecessary even if I'm doing calls from my office, as opposed to when I'm traveling or otherwise not at home. I have a dedicated office with decent lighting (and not backlit) and a good Logitech webcam. That's more than a lot of people I work with have. Anything more would really be overkill and probably not even noticeable on a typical video call.
I was just watching Democracy Now! live on their website as of writing. It turns out there is massive undercounting of infections and deaths. Apparently, in Wuhan, there are a few dead people lying in the streets and in cars because the civilian medical examiner/coroners-equivalents are too scared and/or under curfew preventing them from handling bodies. On the upside, the Chinese government commissioned several thousand beds-worth of world-class, negative-air pressure quarantine hospitals in a little over a week. And sadly, the doctor, Dr. Li Wenliang, a 34-year-old ophthalmologist, who discovered coronavirus and warned the world has died at Wuhan Central Hospital from it on Friday after returning to Wuhan to treat patients and then contracted it himself. The more accurate infection and death numbers should be multiplied by viewers between 2x and 10x when it is reported by Western media because the information is both delayed and undercounted, and the few citizen journalists and expats foreign journalists with local knowledge believe this is the case. Not to freak out, because this isn't the Spanish Flu, SARS or the 1968 pandemic, but to more accurately account for the delay and underreporting.

> Believe it or not, there was once a day when Quik just made great boardshorts, O’Neill made great wetsuits, Oakley made the sunnies, etc. Soon, however, it seemed like all brands were in literally every category, unfortunately, not always doing that with much quality.

I wonder if this is a natural consequence of the drive for "growth"–whether that be in terms of more profit, more features, or anything else. You see it in the big tech companies, which have a tendency to expand into areas like social media, cloud, and self-driving cars, regardless of their original product line. Programming languages, where as a language ecosystem ages, it grows to acquire the features of every other language. Niche communities and countercultures online and off get diluted into meaninglessness once they catch on with too many people. Memes degrade. Information entropy increases monotonically.

I'm reminded of a poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins called "God's Grandeur".

The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;
There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs —
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

Because for all this tendency towards monoculture, there is just as much evidence all around us of humanity's seemingly limitless capacity for reinvention and creation. Maybe decay is necessary in order to clear the way for what's to come. Maybe we should celebrate it!
They were formed specifically to aid the Democratic party in the election. I think there's a lot of former Hillary campaign people on the team.

Most tech companies try to hold the appearance of being neutral.
I believe it's mostly because their content got worse. It's hard to recommend good things when there are fewer good things there, and you've already seen all of the things you like.

They used to be alone in the space. Now they're competing with a lot of other services. Not in the DVD space, but I think they don't care about that space, and there are fewer people using it.

A lot of people suggest that there's another factor, that for streaming they pay different amounts for different content, and may not aim you at a movie that's expensive for them to show you. I have no idea if that's true.
The removal is fine if you generally buy high-end equipment. However, my phone still has one because I have a cheap phone and I don't know what I'd do without the headphone jack. I can use wireless earbuds (which are admittedly nice) for most of the day, but they die and I like having a physical connection. This is especially true of, say, long flights. I also like having a backup pair, but backup pairs of bluetooth earbuds are very pricey.
> A leader doesn't have to be visionary all the time

Yes they do. If they're not visionary, then they're just a manager.

Apple grew because of a visionary, and now it shrinks because the best a manager can do is try to maintain the status quo in the face of changing factors. It's fundamentally a losing battle.
That can be turned off.
I learned this while learning chess. I could win against anyone in elementary school. Some years later, I went to a small tournament. I was wrecked by everyone including children half of my age. Humility lesson right here. I still play though. Playing for fun is fine. It is a game after all.

Perhaps I wasn't specific - "Product Visionary" I meant!
"Surfers, for the most part, don’t need more stuff, don’t want more surfers, don’t care about grabbing attention, etc."

This is actually completely true. I'm friends with a guy who owns a surf shop in one of the highest grossing areas for surfing equipment/clothing in southern california, his biggest gripe with the industry is that surfers spend no money. They won't pay for parking, won't pay for surf apps, won't buy a new board unless they have to, don't really buy the clothes, etc. It's part of the culture.

Edit:

To add to his perspective, it's not about getting wealthy from surfing. The guy has been surfing his whole life, is a lifelong lifeguard, surfs 20 foot waves.

He just wishes the industry could grow and innovate, but instead sees it stagnate. Sure the vibe and love for surfing is there, but I think he is frustrated that there is no wealth in the industry to foster further growth and investment.

But then again, the way I see it is surfing as a sport is extremely limited, you can only do it on coasts, and only some coasts are actually consistently good for it.
We use Angular for the Alabama Dept of Forensic Science's DNA Tracker and the Alabama Dept of Public Accounts. Both seem to work well and have good performance.
Maybe it's mostly Iowans on HN at this time of day?
Yeah, when I walk through the theft detector at one of my regular grocery stores, my left earbud falls out as I pass through the magnetic field produced by the detector.

It makes some analog radio noises when they fade out and back in, so clearly something entirely different from BT.

The right earbud plays music as normal through it all.
I think Vue's reactivity system just fundamentally doesn't work which is why Vue 3 is basically an entirely new paradigm/framework trying to masquerade as an update. I have a feeling its going to split the community and end the way angular did.

I haven't used Svelte at all but it looks very interesting.

> Shared memory, lock-free data structures, no syscalls.

You'd still need a syscall to sleep when the ring is empty, and a syscall to wake up the mechanism when the first request is put on an empty ring. But yeah, other than that (and perhaps an "yield" syscall), you could do everything through the ring.
I mean, they did link to a bunch of source code spots... so it's not completely unconstructive.
I had the most amusing realization at work the other day: most software engineers “hate” how their coworkers write software. I took it a step further and realized I hate software I wrote a year ago. Giving objective feedback should be a cherished skill.

One thing that I see is carmakers stuffing their trims with all kinds of unnecessary extras. Sun/moonroof, heated seats, powered seats, humongo speaker system, etc.

All those extras do two things:

Drive up ave selling price and added complexity (meaning more maintenance).

It’s probably near impossible to get manual windows in any trim level.

They also tell customers “hey you can wait 10,000mi before changing oil”. That kills engine life, and they know it.
Google has always aggressively created and sunsetted products, even popular ones. I don’t see any change in that MO recently.
Well yeah I've been thinking about it. But shelling out for some with decent sound only to find that they also suck would really be a bummer, so I'm tempted to just go back to wired.
Gitlab Saleswomen “told to wear short skirts, heels and 'step it up'”
Interesting. I just refreshed the site 100 times to get a large sample size and the darkest skinned image it produced was this girl (https://i.imgur.com/ggJIG94.png). Her skin is much lighter than many of the people in that sample of the training data.

Assuming that that sample is representative of all the training data, it must be that the algorithm is 'choosing' not to produce images of dark skinned people. Perhaps because it isn't very good at them and 'knows' this? I wonder if there are other features it's deliberately avoiding?

Uh they are not doing fine, hence the issues at Hurley apparently, and the fact that all those brands have crashed in value.

This is more the classic “brand X is now bloated and failing because it forgot its roots when going mainstream” argument. Nothing to do with capitalism (author was a bit confused there, or clutching at straws), everything to do with losing view of your core values and value proposition.
Re: secrets, I'd say never work on production while streaming. Don't keep production credentials on your local machine either. Keep a local .env.development file with local credentials ONLY.

If you work in the cloud, usually database secrets and the like will be obscured as well in password fields. Same as in password managers, e.g. 1password has a 'copy' button, and displaying it is an explicit button you have to press.
It's a valuable skill for sure, but there apparently isn't enough people with this skill on the market, which is why $safe-language-trend-of-the-day is being developed and gains momentum.
It’s been a few years, but for c++ on a large codebase I vastly prefer qtcreator. Intelligence regularly hung while doing some background rescan. It was infuriating.
It's a cult, some say these "surfers" are the hipsters of the 90's.
The firmware update did improve things a lot, they were not really usable before, but the result is still sub-par for me at least :(
The distinction between "people who participate" and "people who practice" is basically impossible to make, even just in video games.

Even the example he gave didn't really work: He says that the top 30% of players in Overwatch can reasonable be expected to want to win. Which I agree with (it's probably an underestimation) - but does this mean that the bottom 70% only "participate"? Because that would mean to get into the 95th percentile of "people who practice", you would have to be in the 1.5th percentile of Overwatch players.

Another layer of this problem exists when you look at people who play the game regularly, but don't play ranked. On average, those players are probably worse - but should they be included in the percentile?

Ultimately the percentile thing just doesn't make much sense, but I still think the overall message of the blog post, that most people could improve at something they do at a much faster rate if they were willing/able to really focus on improving themselves and less on external factors that they can't control, is absolutely true.
Christopher Alexander is one architect with one view. I used to think he was the end all but he's not. There are or ought to be as many approaches to architecture as there are architectural projects – because architecture is a practice that first and foremost fits a solution to a context, if there ought to be a solution whatsoever. Fundamentally architecture is about synthesizing integrative visions: everything else follows from this.

Patterns are not necessarily wrong, but presume a universality in architectural problems from the outset that can narrow your perception of what ought to be done too quickly.

Alexander's "avoid symmetry-breaking" as a design principle is germane across almost all styles of architecture though. Whether or not an architect likes to obey, ignore, or disrupt symmetries is the big tell as to what school of thought they subscribe to.
> Everyone does better with research, trial, and error.

Better? Sure. Not everyone can go from 0 to competent in a new area within a reasonable time frame.
In the context of what we're discussing here, everything Apple does is product (including services), and needs a product visionary.

They've degenerated to minmaxing profits and running focus groups to tell them what to do without any overarching vision or long term plan, just like GP commenter said. It's sad. Steve Jobs is spinning in his grave.
Actually, I just started doing this yesterday. I had streamed a handful of times on Twitch (channel the same name as my username here) for side projects before, but I just joined a startup as a co-founder and decided to try streaming during work hours.

A couple tips:

- Use multiple monitors - this is almost a hard requirement
- Separate secrets into their own files.
- Exclude secret files from your IDE/editor search
- Make the second monitor the main monitor so notifications and what not go there
- On that second (or third monitor), put everything that isn't your editor

Be prepared for few to no viewers. Remember the point is to help keep you focused, not get attention.
Statistically it's not incorrect.

While you should be skeptical of strong forms of the EMH, all evidence points to weak forms of the EMH being true.

Tim Cook is (to an extent?) an engineer. He has a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering as well as a Master of Business Administration.
It seems like you are forgetting freedom means different things to different people. Look at the world outside your lens.

For me, freedom is not driving in rush hour and being home when my kids get home from school. Having a dedicated setup makes complete sense.
My experience with Azure match Google's reputation, and no, having an Enterprise Agreement with Azure doesn't help one bit, other than having an army of evangelists and partners chasing after you.

I completely disregard any documentation or information older than 2019, and I'm a bit suspicious if it is from the first half of the year, that is how often they change things for no apparent reason.

Their support will likely try to convince you to rewrite your app with their latest stack than solve obvious issues with Azure.

The only positive thing about the whole ecosystem is that support and evangelists/presales will likely admit bugs and share workarounds they've used. For example deploying AKS from the portal has a 50% chance of failing because it will not have created the service principle before something else requires it - so they will recommend creating the service principal in advance and selecting it in the config.
author's point is that capitalist values is at odds with the core values and value proposition that these brands had at their genesis

I have zero issue with features being lost in a salvaged car. those are entirely at your risk purchases and worse some salvage cars are just unsafe for both driver and others sharing the same road.

that they can be sold and be allowed back on the road opens the manufacturer to a whole host of liabilities. The insurance company declared it not worthy of repair so if state laws permit them to be titled why should the manufacturer provide any support or be compelled to do so?

anecdotal, we have a neighbor in our subdivision with two salvaged cars. both have been given plates by the county to allow them to be driven. both have body damage including a Nissan Rogue which has no back window and one rear passenger window is gone. So who is liable for mechanical failure or even software failure when this car is in accident? I am not even sure it has functioning air bags.

* for clarity - I am against a car being sold and losing features as shown in the article, that car was not a salvage title
I second this. In my last largish application, state was getting really messy and I needed a place to keep it all organized. I really tried hard to get Redux to work as at the time it was the tool that everyone was talking about. I struggled and couldn't make sense of it. Eventually I stumbled upon MobX and it just clicked. So easy to work with and checks all of my boxes. Productivity and happiness soared :)
It's more that the core that would consider themselves the core have some widely shared values. Lot's of "lifestyle"/"adventure" sports are similar. And these are the people that started the brands that ended up not living up to their values.
Steps That Will Help You Get to the Next Phase in Your Life
Oh come now, you surely understand that you cannot just drop in a Windows or Linux PC as a replacement for a Mac, just like you couldn't do the opposite. Organizations have management tools, single sign on, and software that may only run on one OS.

Suggesting a ThinkPad or Dell as a replacement is naive.

If an organization wants to change the computers it gives it's employees so dramatically, it will take some transition time, and a lot of fighting. We're not just talking about your personal laptop here.
but then you end up with a monster of a machine.

Why can't laptop engineers just find a way to break physics, it's not that hard, Einstein did it...

Shure's SM58 and SM57 have the same capsule as the SM7B for 1/3 the price and fuss.

Like the Rolex Submariner, the SM58 has been cloned at lower and lower prices since its introduction. The design is solid regardless of the price point. Imitations from Pyle and Audio Technica sound great and cost less, but aren't as rugged.

If you _want_ to spend money for more pleasing tone the Beta 87A from Shure is outstanding. As are similar cardioid microphones from Electro Voice and Neumann
I got back into working out about a year ago. The amount of workout apps and online resources was SO overwhelming, I didn't know where to start. I decided to just ask my brother (who is big into working out) to show me a few basic exercises with dumbbells and body weight that I could do at home. Then I just used a notebook and pen to keep track of my progress. I love not having the phone around while working out. I feel like it can be such a distraction. And there's something about writing out a log with pen and paper that is just really satisfying. I love looking back and seeing pages and pages of workouts that I wrote out. It really helped me to get back into working out on a regular basis and make it a habit.
