Startups aren’t an excuse to get sloppy and break other team’s production environments.

If a startup needed to move quickly, they’d ping the relevant parties at the planning phase and get everyone on the same page.

I was referring to the archetypal “hustle” managers who deliberately try to do an end-run around other teams for their own personal gain.

Startup or enterprise, doesn’t matter. You can’t have management that rewards asymmetrical games that benefit rule-breakers at the expense of everyone else, including the customers.
The book recommendations looked good.
I put it on my readlist.

The blogposted about Waldenponding, i term i never heard before, was also a nice read. I subscribed to his "whyisthisinteresting" newsletter.

So for me there was a lot to see there.
The Fortran standard just doesn't talk about "aliasing" (in that context), and "defaulting" suggests you can turn off the storage association rules somehow.

I maintain from long research computing experience (at least back to the days of Alliant) that the rules are highly error prone in practice for users, who frequently deny they even exist, and blame the compiler bugs. (I'm surprised if that's not the case more generally.) I'm not saying they shouldn't exist, or that code needs to contravene them.
Hypergamy isn't culturally mediated. Women marry 'up' cross culturally, irrespective of their income. In fact, a lack of higher income male partners is associated with later marriage / reluctance to marry, among highly educated / paid women. The corollary is men preferring young, more attractive partners cross culturally. You can infer what you like from these results, but they've been highly substantiated.
> I can't say erasure is a typical ability in fountain pen inks

By volume, it is probably the majority of ink sold.

Several countries require children to use fountain pens at school, or still have widespreaf use even if it's no longer officially required. Germany, the UK, I think India.

The blue ink that everyone uses most of the time is erasable with a chemical eraser pen [1], which everyone in my class (in the UK) owned.

Other colours were not erasable, so my gothic rebellion (requiring me to write in black or red) meant I had to be correct first time.

1/8" plywood is about 70 micron tolerances, once you account for kerf. This is dependent upon not getting super fine tiny thin pieces that tend to warp.

1/4" plywood-- there's a whole lot of taper and edges aren't quite square. Multipass helps a little bit. Probably about half a millimeter of taper? For most things it just does not matter.
Do something that directly benefits you AND fulfills a cultural expectation is not exactly being open-minded.

My main desktop is dual booted but I never really boot into Linux since I often game, although I really prefer Linux interface+desktop. If Windows could be a kvm guest and GPU passthrough worked I would def go with that option.

The Tail at Scale – The Morning Paper
> domain "investing" actually removes productive value from the world

Does it? These domains are available for those who want them at fair prices. Why is the current situation any worse than one in which these domains would be snapped up for low effort personal sites?

> Someone else might own that domain and actually do something incredible with it.

Why? What would be an example of "something incredible" that'd require a very specific domain name like this?

> New Orleans used to be a great place to find an unmarried girl in her twenties, but now they've all migrated north to Jackson, Mississippi.

There’s a whole lot under the covers here. Low marriage rates and high incarceration rates among young black men probably created a high ratio of single young women in New Orleans and Jackson. Depopulation among the black community post Hurricane Katrina likely explains the relative decrease in single women in New Orleans.
I got a Multia surplus in '99. I've had it sitting in the shipping box ever since. I keep meaning to get it out and tinker with it but never have.

I had one Customer in the late 90's w/ an Alpha-based application (based on SQL Server under Windows NT on an Alpha Server 5305). As a tech who had only used x86-based servers up to that point I found the machine to be very easy to setup and use. It just felt like a strange PC. (I knew it was different-- one look inside was enough to tell that-- but it didn't feel tremendously different than, say, a fat and heavy dual Pentium Pro-based system from Intel in a similar chassis.)
Can any of the 60+ people who upvoted this explain why they did so?
Common sense and culture don't always align. In traditional American culture, until recently, it was expected that men earned the income and women kept the house.
That's just a feminist lie. Most divorces are initiated by women, and the dominant reason for divorce is money issues. Not what you would expect to see if the feminist narrative was true.

"make something that people want"

Is there some list somewhere of things that people might want? I can build stuff, I just have no ideas.

Somewhere online (maybe here) I read the suggestion to hold the pen between the index and middle fingers (with the thumb slightly below and to the side, where it will naturally fall). I've done it this way ever since - it's much more comfortable, and I find it easier to control the pen.
>Everything she does in the article is exactly what any sane sysadmin would do, it's institutional awareness.

My point exactly.
Spacecraft are on the edge of known technology. New components, materials, designs, computer simulations, etc., are being created all the time. What we know is constantly changing so "safer before a long time" does not really apply.
the shorts had to cover their positions, doesn't matter how the stock is doing days or weeks after that..."The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent" and all.
Considering the described situation is someone asking for help understanding how to achieve something (which indicates they don’t have the familiarity with the processes in place to do these things), and they’re asking the team responsible for that infrastructure for the first time on the day before launch, I don’t think one can claim that it’s been well-tested and peer reviewed.
No, but there are other ways of solving that. Setting rounding modes and bias values appropriately would prevent what you describe.
This reminds me of a problem I ran into in a previous life. It has nothing to do with inventory control, but all about how clean/sane is thd data you are storing in the database. We had a system with a set of webUI based forms used by non-technical users to use to add info to the database. However, the forms were outdated, and were importing bad default values. The devs told me they felt that bad data was better than no data. I laughed out loud at the reversed logic. It did nothing but cause grief, and was only solved (for me) by my no longer working for that company.
My guess is a lot of welders are marrying strippers.
Shipping over the weekend isn’t always a bad thing when it’s necessary, but it needs to be an all-hands effort. You need to give people a heads up and at least collect the minimum base knowledge to do it right.

In this case, someone was trying to quietly ship things to production on a Sunday without involving the owners of the front end. How would it look for you if some other team crashed your part of the website on a Sunday without even coordinating the change with you first?

My point was that it’s important for companies to not reward selfish behavior from managers who want to make a name for themselves. If you genuinely need to ship a website feature on Sunday, you involve the website team for launch and follow up monitoring. You don’t try to quietly ship it out the door at the risk of breaking other parts of the business, as Rachel explained in the article.
There's a newer technology called a metal organic framework that does this at a reasonable rate for the effort.

Most likely, this is partly due to the fact that women bear children which can have a significantly negative impact on your health, welfare and earning capacity. Even if you are a woman making good money, a pregnancy with complications can derail your life and you may have no idea it's coming.

Note that you don't need to "win a lawsuit" as 95% of all cases settle out of court. The company will likely settle to avoid the expense of a trial. They may even have insurance that will pay out for such circumstances
> Eh, changing numbers or words to alter a particular sentence doesn't seem like a big issue. Certainly, there's a lot of power given to the governor, but that power is constrained by the words on the page. Now, if you write a bad sentence which still lets the governor change how the money is allocated, you're just a sloppy legislator. :)

Eh, alter a particular sentence seem like a big issue. power to the governor by the words on the page. money you're just sloppy.

Flashdance fetish?
Every company over a certain size has a manager who explicitly puts together a rag tag team of cluelessness in order to "get stuff done" because they don't understand the complexity of the stuff. They interpret push back as a lack of co-operation, rather than the requirement for sanity that it entails.

Ideally, once they identify by trying to pull the trigger you can move them out of the company.
The answer to that is life choices.
If interested, this was discussed in 2016 here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11081575
That was my first assumption. These dangerous situations come up when a manager or developer think they have an asymmetric opportunity:

Ship this feature quickly and collect all the credit, or crash the website in the process and blame the website team.

I hate how frustrating it can be do convince a multijillion dollar company that, No, they are wrong, and I am right.

It's like we need an "No, I actually need you to help because they problem is unsolvable from my Point-of-View phone number" that's kept a secret from anyone.

Had a similar issue with my credit union where they referred to a payment number entry field the wrong way.

I managed to schedule a call with someone, and they didn't understand the problem. They said: "So you want us to change this just for you?". My answer of "No, I want you to change it for everybody." didn't go over well...

Her story was of an untested feature trying to get injected into the frontend on Sunday to meet a Monday deadline, by someone without the proper access, and with no apparent oversight or process concerns.

Neural marketing uses EEG headsets and eye tracking. I searched for EEG + focus detection, and found the 2018 study linked below. Excerpt: “ the best obtained classification accuracies were 77% and 83%, respectively, using SVM binary classifiers.” They used ML for attentiveness classification. I’m sure greater accuracy can be achieved with time, but that’s a good start. It would be even better if we had wearable MRIs.

The governor is democratically elected too, so they also represent the voice of the people. They would presumably be predisposed to picking the part(s) of the bill that the majority actually wants, i.e. the tax cut.

Not being a fan of progressive taxation, I don't see your example as a bad outcome. If they want to raise taxes on some, pass it without the misdirection/"sweeteners" provided by tax cuts for others. That's not to say I'm a supporter of line-item veto overall. Though note that like all vetoes it can be overridden with a larger majority. So you're always only criticizing it on the basis of a slim majority not getting their way.

The answer to that is more like:

I have a serious medical condition.

I have two special-needs kids.

I was a military wife and the military has a track record of being hard on the spouse's career. Last I checked, military spouse's had a 30 percent unemployment rate at a time when general unemployment was around 5 or 6 percent.

Etc.

There is lots of research into this with lots of popular terminology, such as Pink Collar Ghetto and The Second Shift, that describes how women are expected to be the primary child-rearers and do the lion's share of the "women's work" at home even if they have a full time job. All of this significantly impacts the careers and earning capacity of women, and not in a good way.

Women and men generally do not face the same options. They simply don't.
This falls out of the distribution of incomes even before any "preference".

From a UK perspective, men outearn women on average, there are fewer female CEOs, many well paying fields are 70% male, etc.

If you pick a point on the income spectrum, there are more men in the country earning above that figure than women, and so unless you have incomplete pairing (same sex relationships likely don't change the ratios enough to matter) this is a trivial result.

I'm at a fintech in NYC and my team generally doesn't release stuff to prod between like 10AM Friday and 10AM Monday.

I haven't had specific conversations with anybody about it, but I think we have all been around the block enough times to have been burned on a few weekends when it really wasn't necessary.

Not a start up at all though, and not a team of twenty somethings with anything to prove by moving fast and breaking things.

"...a Democrat..."

Oh heck. I woooshed myself.
I mean the word 'boring' in the HN sense of not intellectually interesting. Something can still be exciting even if it's boring in this way. It's boring because there are only so many ways to denounce something as "the epitome of toxicity", "this person made me cringe", and so on, which means the patterns of denunciation get recycled a lot. That makes them predictable, and this site exists for things that aren't predictable.

Another way of putting it is that indignation tends to melt down to a few formulations that get repeated a lot, where intellectual curiosity looks for what is new and different in a situation, and then has a new and different reaction to that.

Since we want HN to be a site for intellectual curiosity, it's important not to feed indignation too much. It quickly overwhelms curiosity if allowed to (especially on the internet); therefore we need to moderate it.
You're right that the moderation comments are boring; that's because they're also predictable. If it helps at all, they're even more tedious to write than they are to read.
There are quite some people at HN just enjoy downvoting in my opinion. Any critic thoughts, any neutral comments, any doubtful questions, or some grammar mistakes and mis-spells will all be downvoted by them easily! You have to be very insightful, positive, politically correct etc to avoid that fate. For me even though I know I'm going to be downvoted I will still say what I want to say, including this very comment here.
One danger is looking for correlations in a dataset means you will find them. It could be by noise. I can't even see what the percentages are in the visualization, when you move the mouse it changes the view, it is quite annoying.

Let's say you have a room full of developers and 15% of them have their birthday in May. Do you make conclusions from this? What is the chance of that happening purely by chance given that all developers had a pretty-much equal chance of being born on any given month.

Argentina just can't get its finances in order. It seems that every time they borrow money they have an excuse to not pay it or to miss payments.

It's too bad since it just makes it harder for the country to move forward.

I read a book that detailed how in the early 1900s Argentina was considered the Jewel of South America. European Immigrants often debated whether they should emigrate to Argentina or the U.S. since they were considered on par as far as economic prosperity and opportunities for immigrants. It's a shame how things have changed over time.

The direction we're going in is massive parallel computing, not massive chips.
