Interesting that this isn't getting any tracking on HN. Too much of such nonsense from the UK already?

It's truly sad to see parents being encouraged to involve the police instead of informing themselves what their children, family members, are doing. This just shows by what kind of dystopian party this warning notice has been created.
It also means you retain stuff like your seniority.
The whole death thing really just depends on the situation.
Yeah but when it's "must have x years of experience of $CLOUD_PROVIDER" that's a whole ecosystem of tools to become proficient at. As someone who does DevOps I've learned to take any hard requirements in job descriptions with a grain of salt; companies are desperate for good DevOps talent, most suck at hiring for it, and some are aware of both of those facts and as a result are more flexible on some things than they would like you to believe.

As a Swedish entrepreneur with 2 exits under my belt and a startup in progress, nothing boils my blood more than bullshit like this. You want to encourage entrepreneurs? stop making up bullshit laws and initiatives that does nothing but fuck us over every single day.

Initiatives like this have the exact opposite effect of how they´re advertised as I´ve personally experienced first hand. Yet somehow all you read about is the outgoing PR of how great this place is, when in fact it is a god awful place to conduct business in. Heck just living here is becoming a nightmare as of late.

It´s time to move on from this shit hole to somewhere more welcoming. Too bad the US immigration system is a clusterfuck regardless of how much money you´re willing to throw at it.

As requested here is an example:
Lets take the "Right to Leave to Conduct a Business Operation Act" or "maternity leave". In both of cases if you work at an early stage startup and exercise your right to take a leave (paid or otherwise), I as an employer have to hold on to that position for the duration of the entire leave of absence. In the case of maternity leave (~1.5 year of paid leave) for instance, I have to hold that position open for you as an employee. The last startup I was involved in had a female employee that was there for about 6 months and then left work for ages before returning, and then "somehow" in an "unplanned manner" managed to quit a few weeks after. Zero work experience, have to hold the spot open for her, have to hire expensive replacement consultants for the duration of the leave which could be extended at any point and I am also obligated to provide benefits to the workers that come in as temporary replacement at a higher cost???? All of that without having the right to fire or suspend said person.

Imagine being 1 out of 6 employees and you just vanish, leaving behind everything for the company to pick up by having to hire a secondary person as a consultant for far more money, giving them those same benefits while keeping your position open. Startups cannot afford these costs period. Not every startup enjoys the millions of SV dollars. Our bootstrapped startup almost went under because of employee benefit payments for people who were not even showing up to work and we cannot fire by law.

This is beyond sinister and it isnt done to protect employees, it is merely done to extract the maximum amount of value from companies at all stages so that the state can afford to deliver on its never-ending promises of "FREE EVERYTHING".

One of my best friends have had a full salary for the last 5 years and have not worked a single day. Who pays for that do you reckon? and in what world is that fair to the rest of us?
Maybe I should try it. It seems to be mentioned a lot here. Any recommended book?
No, Dinosaurs are not extra-terrestrial aliens, which is what SETI is looking for. And they are not "true" aliens (what's the correct term for this?)

Dinosaurs and Humans share a common ancestor. We evolved from the same origin. We both have DNA. We are literally cousins.

SETI is searching for life that originated from dead matter independently from earthlings. Those extra terrestrial beings may not necessarily have the same basic structure (DNA) as us.
Can you give some examples of their counterproductive policies?
How has this been measured?
> as determined by data--including analysis of the performance of features, market conditions, and other factors

What would be refreshing are internal ROI dash boards for each project and group instead of just technical dash boards.

On almost every project I've worked on this data is not available and there's never any real evidence presented to the practitioners for things such as tech stack or process decisions. Typically, it's just a bunch of assertions, hand waiving and requests of trust.
Exactly. I hope Apple Arcade takes a big bite out of ad supported games on iOS.

However, if there is an option to pay for the games to get rid of ads, I have no problem with him publishing games and making money on either ads or people paying.
Why wouldn't it work?

People will find ways to get the time and rest they need, hiding and faking is less effective.

On top of that you get loyalty in return for being treated as human beings rather than slaves.
Ah man. This makes me realize why my time at a recently IPO-ed tech company, as an engineer was so horrible. Except #10 the company is guilty of every single point.
Solo since 2017. Working from home has a negative impact on my productivity. Family members and friends assume you're available for smalltalk and other stuff just because you're at home and not at work. I like working from home. It's warm and comfy. Food and drinks are a minute away. I consider myself very productive nonetheless, because I adjusted my daily routine to my environment and don't try to force it the other way around.

So about a year ago I started waking up at 5 o'clock. It's awesome after getting used to it. It's quiet, sometimes still dark outside and nobody can distract you. I can put on my headphones and just hack away. I usually start by taking a piece of paper and write down a couple of things/features/bugs I want to take care of that day. The items on the list were usually spread out across Github issues and projects Kanban boards, but I bring them together one more time. The goal is to realistically summarise the ideal day on a single sheet. I then prioritise and guess the time effort of each task. I start with the most important + least time. I want to look at the list at the end of the day with 8/10 items ticked off. Helps stay motivated and not get burned out. It's very likely I'll get distracted or just throw the towel after 5-6 hours of work. It's much easier to do that if you've already finished a good amount of work. I mostly optimize towards self-happiness. It's not a war you win on a single day. I know a lot of people that are unhappy with themselves and their progress on side projects because they often start with tasks that are too large and they have nothing to push to prod at the end of the day. In between of work I eat with my dad and girlfriend, sometimes have smalltalk for half an hour, but that's about it. I stop working at 8pm and play a round of monopoly against my girlfriend or watch a movie with her. Good time to talk about how your day was like and so on. I sometimes struggle with it, but it's important to dedicate time to your loved ones, even if you think that every minute you don't work on your project is lost money. They're usually the ones that support you the most.

I consider solo founding a 24/7/365 job. It's hard and a lot of pressure, but its one of the few things I enjoy most in life, because each day and every single item you tick off your todo list fully benefits you and not your employer.

(Sorry, the comment turned out a bit chaotic.)
Go to Google with a geofence warrant – and it will give you all the details
There were NUMA x86 rigs long before the memory controller moved to the CPU. IBM xSeries and serverworks chipsets from around 2000 had NUMA topologies.
it appears some other users have had different experience from yours, would you care to elaborate why you feel this way?
Oh, I never said UML was ideal. I merely said that, if you squint, you could see it as a clumsy, inadequate, and probably unintentional half-step in the direction of crimsonalucard's idea.
This will be a bit of a tangent, but I think that level of specialization in the medical field exists because their jobs are mission critical. You can kill someone if you don’t handle your part right. The advent of the fullstack developer as the norm is because most of us are not doing critical things.

Companies need to be honest about the reality of their product. You’re building a straight forward web app most of the time, you know? You might not need that Stanford CS grad. If companies feel the ‘need’ it, it’s just aggrandizement and a very bad trend for this industry.
If you provided a reasoned critique with your rant this would be a worthwhile comment. Absent that it simply violates HN commenting guidelines.
> Twitter has never made any profit

Twitter's operating income in 2019 was +453 million $, with net income at +1.47 billion $.
That would either add enough friction to be too expensive, or be too easy for the anti-fraud services to figure out ?
SoftBank’s $375M bet on pizza went bad fast
The point of open source is that individuals from the community can read and modify their tools. Anything that makes that harder is a bad thing, it might be justified but it’s still bad.
> I think there is some overlap with async/await which seems to be the dominant concurrency paradigm now

Dataflow variables are exactly promises where every use that calls for the result is awaited; in a language where it's the core paradigm, you just don't write async and await everywhere (and often the runtime will be free to abandon calculations that won't be used), so, no, it doesn't just have “some overlap” with async/await; async/await is syntax to for using the paradigm in a language that is otherwise eager and synchronous.

So, it's also wrong to say that it hasn't caught on, the paradigm is pervasive and frequently used in industrial programming, which usually uses multiparadigm languages, not languages purely devoted to a single paradigm.

> (Also, another issue is that it's a model of very fine-grained parallelism, where as coarse-grained parallelism with limited communication is faster. That's how people optimize in practice.)

Dataflow variable don't require any parallelism, though they can leverage it.
I'm blogging for 3 years now and wrote a book about React, so projects are mostly coming to me.

At the moment I try to make a living by blogging (mostly ghostwriting) less risk than software development, okay-ish pay and flexible work. I also got a teaching gig at a university here, teaching frontend and mobile development.

When I started, I found projects by simply looking online for offers and write emails to companies.
Right. So in this case, what does the article compare?
I am "management", whatever that means. Sounds like you're pretty jaded about an experience you had.

Not all advice works for all people in all situations, but this has proven great for me.
Off-topic to the off-topic, but I cringe slightly whenever someone is discussing a technical problem and talks about their "final solution." That term is forever tainted for me, kind of like "SS" as an acronym.

I never say anything though, because really it's the correct term for what they're describing.
Sure but in capitalism, the wealth goes to individual value holders (landlords and rent seekers are derogatory terms for this). In true communism, the wealth goes to the state.

The difference to most employees is honestly pretty small, working for McDonald's versus being a janitor for the post office are functionally the same, no one really cares who the guy at the top of the chain is.

The main benefit of capitalism is the dream of being the wealthy person, if you're a janitor it's almost impossible, but the dream is there
I still think company's and privat persons shouldn't own nukes. Everyone in orbit by virtue of location has the power any warlord dreams about. Don't make tech advances for the best people, make them against the background of the worst people.
Is that a uniquely American thing? I'm 100% certain that even if the company I work for was acquired, my current contract would still apply. So I would need to be given at least 3 months notice, and couldn't be discharged without a good reason - failing some internal interview wouldn't be such a reason.
> An admin can leave her instance set to open signups, but eventually she’s probably going to turn that off once it grows to a size she starts to feel uncomfortable handling.

Strangely, I didn't get that much spam registrations on my instance (French-speaking; created in early 2017). There was a dozen accounts with ads for laser pointers and currently I'm getting accounts in vietnamese which don't post anything; but that's all.

On the other hand, I had to silence some instances because they had way too many bots flooding the public timeline, mostly with porn.
With 1-2 family houses, that’s how it works. Not for high density.

For complexes, everything is based on depreciation cycles. Apartments typically get shittier over a relatively short timeframe.
The thing that caught my attention about this post was specifically that it‘s a JavaScript bundler not written in JavaScript. The “in Go” in this case made the difference between my noticing and skipping a very interesting submission, so I think it’s relevant.
I remember reading a discussion about this in a german online newspaper a while ago. (In light of an initiative of the Finnish cabinet exploring 6 hour workdays, I believe).

When reading the comments, I expected people to dismiss the idea as unrealistic or naive but to agree with the spirit and to share the general goal of reducing worktime.

I was not expecting panic and outrage.

It was a minority (and certainly skewed by the groups of people who post online in the first place), but a notable number of commenters were violently opposed the idea, not out of economical concerns, but because they believed the end goal of having more free time itself was highly problematic - that it would encourage an unhealthy lifestyle, erode morals, would pose a danger to social order, etc etc.

It was a sobering read and a reminder that status-quo bias is still very much a thing.
but this proofs my theory that MS is keeping internally different repositories for win 10 also we know that some tracking services are disabled for Win 10 enterprise which leads to logical conclusion that tracking services could potentially limit OS I/O ops.
I did not miss that. I was pointing out that glofish said he asked questions like these repeatedly to candidates, but he doesn't even understand the basics of the subject matter. That would not make for a good interview.

Conversely, of course, the trajectory of a non-threatening near-Earth asteroid can be known well in advance, but there’s no obviously benign reason for anyone to bring a lot of delta-v to one.

So having a steady traffic in commercial heavy lift could be a positive externality as well, for whoever wants to find a close-call asteroid that has been recently marked as 100% safe and give it a little nudge.

That's partly because most people will have baggage to attend to that a college student living off student loans would not, and will lack the safety net that parents who can loan you $44k represent. There's not much here to convince that his performance is any better than the average among people in his position.

Please help! The image is almost complete:

https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/builds.sr.ht/tree/master/images/...

But I need a NetBSD expert to come in and put on the finishing touch: making the filesystem resize to fill the available space on the qcow2. Without this, the image cannot build a new version of itself which isn't smaller than the host image, leading to image shrinkage over time and eventual breakitude.
Almost all JavaScript tooling is itself written in JavaScript, so the fact that it's written in Go is actually notable to me.
> This is solved by throwing multiple interview questions at the person that are all novel and not derived from the internet. The probability of ALL questions being seened before is very low.

This is solved by adding more questions into Leetcode. 1000+ and counting.

> So? Doesn't change the effectiveness of leetcode in passing an interview and displaying your ability to learn and solve novel problems. If you have other ways of passing those interviews outside of leetcode, that's great. Use it.

You missed the point entirely. My argument is that many interviews are not designed for problem solving but practicing and memorization. And this is exactly why Leetcode ensures you to repeat these template 100 times effectively.

I do not plan to pass this kinds of interview, before, now or the future. So why do I bother?

Good luck on your job search anyway. I have no intention on discouraging you to do the practice. I cannot fix anything here.
It's memetics.

"DRY" is catchy, easy to talk about, easily verbed as a recommendation, seems like a good idea, and seems to be recommended by people who know what they're doing.

The problem is that it seems self explanatory, so no one discusses the definition. At the same time, the more obvious definition isn't the right one.

As a counter-meme, I have been proposing we refer to overaggressive syntactic deduplication as "Huffman coding".
> "If engineering hasn't helped them not kill most of their products, what is it helping do?"

Engineering does not set direction, they just build what they're told to. There are entire product management, market research, and similar teams that help senior management decide what to build. This is the case at most large software companies.
I'm also in college, so its pretty rough. In any given day I work anywhere from 10 to 14 hours, about 8 to 12 of which is for my startup. I'm sinking a lot of my time into the backend right now (integration testing, stress testing, decreasing latency, etc). I haven't launched anything yet, but I should be at some point before the end of the month. Recently I've been doing more work on marketing and getting some initial users, which I should have done a lot sooner.

That's the theory right? In reality, it really depends on the situation.
Communism also generates wealth for significantly fewer people. You think the concentration of wealth is bad in capitalist countries? It is. But communism spreads the wealth even more unevenly.
Part of the problem with unlimited vacation is that companies that use it tend to do it to save money, since if you have unlimited vacation days they don't need to compensate you for unused PTO when you leave. They'll also try and create a culture where employees don't want to or "can't" take time off. It can be more nefarious than anything.

Of course companies that do that are usually startups, and if your startup tries to fuck you, leave. They probably need you more than you need them.
> and accepting the blame when things go wrong, you can always move up into management.

In most companies, accepting blame is career suicide. Most people who move up in management are good at taking credit for wins and pinning down someone else for failures, or moving on to different projects before their decisions come back to bite them. And that's the kind of management that leads to broken process that the OP mentioned in the article.

This link continues to be updated, case count now at 67 as of Feb 15. There is a lot of detail on the cases and I think Singapore is the best proxy for how well US / Europe may be able to manage nCoV-219. This is the gold standard for dissemination of useful information on an unfolding epidemic.
If JS was added to the chart as an example, where would it land?
Physicists study relatively simple fundamental particles. Biologists study the most complex structures in the known universe. Instead of understanding one particle, you're trying to understand structures of quadrillions of particles in an arrangements of mind boggling complexity. Yes you're right. In some ways biology is much harder than physics.
I’m new at this, and would love feedback if I’m wrong, but I think that a lambda instance could be reused if the system had need. As a result the best practice is to closure global-like data in the handler function itself. This would then get passed down through the layers much like Golang’s context.

Isn't the main benefit of Capitalism what striving towards that dream causes? Ie, there are incitements for improving for other people.
Although this is a great question and the answers will be broadly useful for lots of folks reading, I'd like to suggest a reframe for yourself:

It's impossible to know what the right schedule is without knowing where you time needs to be spent, and there's not really enough context in the post for us to help with that.

At $1k ARR you've passed the hurdle of getting someone to pay something, which is great, but you still have a ways to go to sustain yourself which means you should take a hard look at your runway and product.

Is the product adequate to grow or is it still somehow short of MVP? Is the biggest problem lead gen, conversion or retention? Who is the target audience and what's the thin end of the wedge?

Overall at this stage I'd be spending a ton of time talking directly to customers (or prospective customers) and trying to uncover the flaws or opportunities for your product that will validate whether it can be successful. Good luck!
