Sarcasm and cynicism are signs of burnout. If ones arrives there, change to a job which actually is satisfying for you. No need to spend yourself and others on unhappy job.
The key is that it’s proven within the formal method system used. For example, you can prove that you don’t have an out of bounds write, but not that a hardware bug doesn’t exist.

There was a proof of SSL or TLS (can’t remember which) as a protocol was secure, but later was exploited. This was because the exploit was something the spec didn’t cover
Have you tried Narwhale? The UX is pretty incredible for everyday use. Some of the cornercases (subbing, unsubbing) are less intuitive, but it’s my daily driver for mobile use of Reddit.
Corn and potatoes each produce around 15 million calories per acre; rice only hits about 11 million. Wheat is significantly worse, at ~4 million.
See also APL, which was designed as a concise algorithmic notation first and only adopted as an actual language afterwards. (Hence the use of custom symbols)

Although unlike this notation, APL is more typewriter-optimized; many symbols are made by double-striking two other more basic symbols, and the typesetting is simple and linear - it clearly doesn't take advantage of the full expressive power of handwriting. (Plus, its array-based programming flow, while extremely powerful, is very different from the way most people write algorithms these days)
Why would GCP restrict the ports like this?
I took your feedback to heart that I don't offer a solution. So, I added this paragraph that suggests one:

"If Linkedin would just block people from sending hundreds of connection requests, firms would vett their recruiters better, and candidates would ignore messages from strangers, then spam would decrease."
It’s not necessarily about “fair market value”. It’s “lowest possible price” but that doesn’t account for quality, communication and cultural barriers, etc. particularly in a market where the customer typically doesn’t know enough to judge quality up front.
Being a True Bitcoiner Requires 3 Essential Qualities
That's a fair point. Yes, I thought the same thing too when I read this. It is only introducing restrictions on sequential prime numbers. I doubt it has any bearing on the factoring problem yet, at least not without more work that can connect this to the factoring problem.
Yes, this is very good too. Make it a strong tripod with accessory legs and it is perfect.

Almost all jobs are paid not according to how productive the employee is. Pretty much most jobs are about doing a set amount of work. When it comes to advertising or applying for a tech jobs how productive one is compared to a fellow worker is not evaluated. Even quality is subjective.

Often companies will give production or time related bonuses, but base pay should be able to be compared.
Interesting the first few principles are not about note-taking, but writing in general. If you believe in the power of the written word to drive clarity (e.g. as in Amazon-style 6-page narratives), these principles are gold:

Principle #1: Writing is not the outcome of thinking; it is the medium in which thinking takes place

Principle #2: Do your work as if writing is the only thing that matters

Principle #5: Standardization enables creativity

Principle #6: Our work only gets better when exposed to high-quality feedback
Your manager asking is a sign they're trying to help you and understand you. You can rebuff that but then you shouldn't wonder in the future why your job isn't going the way you want it to (and why your coworkers aren't having the same issues).
How does "21/3d26g53" fit into the numbering system described? Why even mention it?
Being 10-based is already a big win (and it isn't harmful to say "10-based" as long as people know what it means). You need to only remember the name <-> power of 10 mapping, and the conversion amounts to adding or removing zeros. Beats having to multiply in your head by arbitrary, hard to remember fractional values.
Yes might be, and I would agree. Although it could be a great opener for finding out what the person wants. I have often found it the hardest thing to help find out what the person I had 1on1s with wanted to become (or not, e.g. a manager). Sometimes people have a clear vision, sometimes it took a year. Everyone was happier though.

Is there an app for that? Seriously.
The list would be way too long.

In my opinion, the so-called 1 on 1 meeting should only be used when an employee is clearly on the wrong trajectory and a course correction is needed.

Good feedback is difficult, what I've seen was very often high noise and low signal. Forcing feedback when not necessary will not lead to added value for the company, only mildly boring and stressful waste of time, in the best case.
Ask HN: Should I Be Famous?
Internally I'm highly conflicted about whether fame is an important tool for creating a better world. I don't think publicity about entrepreneurs is particularly truthful, leading me to think that it shouldn't exist. But I can't deny the effectiveness of self-promotion as a means to garner influence and attention, which could be used for good things.

Should entrepreneurs be self-promoting through articles and 'appearances' on things like podcasts/panels etc. despite the disingenuous nature of it?
A major reason why the switch in the U.S. failed in the 70s was because the manufacturing sector revolted and didn't want to do the extra work to switch to metric.

I mean, what the hell, we are cutting their taxes to single digits anyway, might as well write this one off too.
It does not matter what N you choose. The experimental results are always an approximation of Benford's law. The approximation gets better and better as N becomes larger and larger. The fact that you do not see Benford's law working with N = 19 is not in anyway a flaw in the way the experimental results are set up. It just means N is too small to approximate Benford's law closely.
If you’re handling revenue properly, cash flows aren’t an issue. A subscription paid upfront should be spread across the period of the subscription as deferred revenue.

Likewise. And I am sympathetic to the idea, but this is the wrong way to go about it. Too many innocent bystanders.

It does reignite the debate over what is acceptable. Cost of putting microphone in anything is negligible. Connection to internet in many things is assumed so even if microphone is unused, it could be turned on with an update.

Then again, my social circle met yesterday and they have multiple devices controlled by voice. It didn't stop anyone from saying things that would not look good if broadcast in public. It is weird, how easy it is to forget about it. Probably because you think it is your space. I would not dream of messing with their devices. I am a guest. I opted to be there.

I tried to think about it rationally. I can't give them too much shit. Between me and my wife, we have 8 devices in house now that have microphones and/or cameras in.

Ok google is off. Siri is off on phone, but on watch it is activated by a button, so there is semblance of control.

Depends how many passengers test positive for COVID-19. Current count so far is just 1, but a second cruise ship that was quarantined (the Diamond Princess) now has 350+ confirmed infected passengers, or about 10% of that cruise, also from a single initial case.
The people bringing this sort of thing up are not pretending that men have not enjoyed advantages in the past and present. They are simply pointing out the occurrences on the other side.

Just to point out that retributive social justice is a major factor in the ideologies which brought about Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, Maoist China, Pol Pot's Cambodia, Castro's Cuba, and so on. Millions of people died because of "justified" retaliatory ideologies. That's not a mistake that needs to be made again.

I am personally attempting to make sure that equality of opportunity, rather than retribution, is the motivating factor. The earlier down the slope we cement that, the better.
Can someone point to me the goal of using NodeJs to produce a list like this? Why not just modifying the .md file directly?
The important bit is that they’re not “practically” effective.

You need to wear them properly. You need to change them regularly. You need to practice effective hygiene like not touching your face.

If the government distributed masks that could be effective to everyone, it’s unlikely they would have a noticeable effect

Wow, you are either a troll or clueless.

There is no more powerful form of ensuring manager/employee alignment than 1:1 meetings.
I don't know why but I'm always fascinated by quotidian details of the lives of people I admire; the excerpt about his being swindled by a taxi driver was marvelous.
Why do you think it is rational for a hiring firm, to not care about the job description? Wouldn't it be better for them, if only people with the necessary background applied? Then the number of interviews might go down, but the rate of hiring/interview would probably go up, so they would save time and money?
I do what I want and where I get progress done. It won't help me to focus on writing some code if my mind decides to be in an optimize something else mode. I tryed force, but it is a waste of time and reducing fun.

Money was always tight in the beginning, but after a while it grew to something that does not affect me or my decision anymore.
I struggled with that too - but I think it's because the first (pre-/) line is the only one not to be lettered, in the diagram it's `1a` not because it's `a` on `1`, but because it's `a` on the `1`-th branch off `1`; in total it's `1/1a`.

So `3` is the third branch off `21`, `d` marking that it's the d-th (fourth) in line on that branch.

But maybe I'm still wrong, I agree it's not clear.

Edit: Having said that, even by what I'm saying it should end `53a`, not just `53`.
Yup, I get it. We are in the process of automating all the duty/customs forms. Currently, we are sending an email to the traveler /shopper manually. And, yes once the forms are up and running we will add it on our https://www.tuuree.com/travel-with-tuuree page.

That would tend to 1 for any reasonably size sequence.
If you were lucky enough to contact them that is! Attrition rate is such these days that many coders simply flee after a release or so, also depends on how old the code-base is. Git or other version control systems come quite handy, I agree.
What Future Holds
That study looks at non-care costs, and groups together everyone, not just insured people.

Studies looking at out of pocket costs for insured people show much lower figures: https://healtheconomicsreview.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

> The financial burden of cancer varies with the types and coverage of health insurance. An analysis of the 2010–2014 MarketScan data showed that an average patient with employer-provided plan had incurred about $7000–$11,000 OOP expenses over 4 years following diagnosis for a series of care that worths $100,000–$280,000.

Another report: https://www.forbes.com/sites/arleneweintraub/2017/08/10/even...

> More than one-third of cancer patients who carry insurance spend more out-of-pocket for their treatments than they anticipated having to pay. Among those who report being blindsided by the costs of their therapies, the median monthly out-of-pocket expenditure is $703.

Among the one third of people who report being surprised by out of pocket costs, the median payment is $703 per month, or about $8,500 annually. That’s a lot, and it can be surprising. But The median individual income for someone 45-55 is $80,000. That’s about 11% of income, or smaller than the difference in the tax wedge between the US and Sweden.

And to put that in context: out of the minority of people who get cancer, and the 1/3 of those people who report being surprised by out of pocket costs, the amount of out of pocket costs is about the same as what everyone with the median prime age US income would pay in extra taxes in Sweden every year even when healthy.
Usually not "no option." I frequently use Amazon's app to look up an ISBN, and then bring it to my neighborhood bookshop and ask them to order it for me.

The only time I've ever had to order from Amazon is when I'm trying to get something that just isn't distributed in the USA, or is only being sold by, in effect, scalpers. e.g., last year I got a box set shipped to me from Europe for ~70€, where US-based sellers wanted more like $300.

(Even there, I suppose I could order from Fnac or somewhere instead, but Amazon seems to fare better at getting through US customs.)
As a manager as well as a human being I am interested in my co-workers and how they feel, their family, etc. so I don't really 'get' your negativity. Can you point some of the bullcrap on the list. There might be a way to rephrase some of the questions to make them not bullcrap.

I think 1on1 is great. I was at the receiving end and now at giving end. When I did 1on1 with my manager I always felt good afterwards but I was always 100% honest in my answers. The issues I see are if one of the two is not completely honest and that is a completely different issue not solvable by 1on1 but needs to be addressed within orgazination.

That's a really poor and incorrect blog post. The author has a very poor understanding of JWT, has described just one small use case, has decided this is the only one and thinks everyone else has misunderstood them. That's not the case. (I agree putting user permissions in a JWT is poor design though.)

Strictly speaking JWTs don't have to be used for authentication at all. They are just signed tokens containing JSON. You could have a shopping list in there if you wanted to be sure it was definitely your wife telling you to pick up milk on the way home.
I wonder if they're keeping fixing this as a backup plan for a rainy day? Say one day UK's GDP goes down harder than they'd like, so in order to burn some money and boost it back without making it look obvious, they'll announce the country has made up its mind, and is switching to full and proper metric starting next year. Cue the economy going to overdrive, as everything and the kitchen sink has to be relabeled or replaced...

(And if that doesn't help for long, they can stimulate the economy further by changing the driving side to the right one.)
I wonder if a simple better contract situation exists : the owner of the company could demand that orders are made till X time for the amount of Y. Since demand is strong, they’ll have to accept.

Ha! But you can prevent the wrong trajectory by acting before. And, one of the ways to do that is honest conversation with your co-worker.
I downvoted this because even though I like it, it belongs at the bottom of the conversation below any real discussion of the actual article.
True, it really depends on what kind of project manager you have in your team. Many are very particular about this, they ensure a thorough transition when an individual quits and make sure knowledge transfer happens properly. On the other hand, I've also met those who have no idea what all systems their project is owning!
A List of Alternative Social Networks Similar to Hacker News, Reddit, Instagram
I've co-founded companies, I've led teams and been CEO of a small video game studio.

As a manager, I never felt the need to bother anyone with 1:1 meetings.

I think it is very easy to shoot yourself in the foot with feedback, this is a difficult art.

And I think the best strategy is to use feedback only to deal with outliers, ie exceptional or catastrophic achievements.
Democratic Reset – A technological vision for resetting democracy
Do you recall the “ghost” incident, where Alexa believed she was being asked to laugh? What was Alexa hearing in your everyday life to believe that not only the trigger word, but the whole phrase was being said aloud?

Also, do you recall the fix? They remotely changed the activation phrase that triggered the laugh.

Do you recall the Google home devices with a minor physical flaw that caused the pucks to record and transmit everything?

Do you recall how these recordings are given to third parties to evaluate to improve the quality of the service?

I guess what I’m trying to say is that we don’t know when or if these devices are recording us. Yes, the same is true with our phones as well (though this bracelet from the article would work on them too). It might not be out of malice, but its safe to say that we as the customers have no real idea of how much they hear.

Base 16 would be even worse than base 10. It isn’t a highly divisible number, so lots of common fractions aren’t clean hexadecimals. In base 12 you get 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8. Base 12 gets you 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, and 1/9.

it's like talking to a superior who poses as a psychologist without any training in it. lots of power to the manager and an invitation for abuse. pretty much the reason why I'd never slave as an employee. sorry you're being downvoted. it seems there are many here who have underlings and therefore benefit from such a farce.

As soon as a wrong trajectory is detected, yes, feedback is needed.

But not before.
Here's another point of view: don't read, nor attempt to understand, and certainly don't change what is not immediately relevant to the first bug you are assigned. Use the bug to guide your learning. Write a test for your bug... no testing framework? Add the first unit test, for your bug. Each task you do will guide you into the relevant part of the code. If you never venture into e.g. utils/common/math/sin.cpp that either means it is correct code you should not change, or that it is unused. In either case, it is irrelevant to your job.

Unfortunately, the kind of environments that throw you into unknown code often change your project so fast that any attempt to understand the system more deeply will be soon lost as you change project again.

This might be a nihilist view, but lots of coding jobs are essentially exercises in futility anyway, so might as well be efficient about it...
> Strangely enough you were the only one to bring up anything about laws being passed.....

How else are you proposing that we mandate equal salaries?

> Are you also opposed to the government forcing products like cigarettes to have disclaimers where the buyer can decide to buy them or not knowing the risk involved?

I think it is strange how arbitrary it is to mark cigarettes like this.

Why not put domestic abuse, fetal alcohol syndrome, car accidents, and alcoholism pictures on every bottle of beer?

Why not put mutilated corpses of people who have died in the vehicle on the side of every car you look at buying?

Why is it just cigarettes that gets that treatment? Why should even cigarettes get that treatment?

There are a million things you can do that harm yourself and others. Freedom of choice + Education is key, NOT government mandate of whatever it decides is safe for your consumption.

> Would you be okay with all of the products you buy having no prices and people getting better prices based on negotiation?

That's exactly how the market works. You are constantly negotiating when you make any financial decision. If people decide that Store XYZ has bread that is too expensive, they can go to Store FGH. Just because many individual stores set prices doesn't mean that there aren't macro negotiations constantly happening. That's pretty much the definition of the free market.

Also micro negotiations are allowed to happen thanks to a free market. Sometimes you get ripped off, sometimes you get a good deal. Again, education is key. You get burned so you learn.

Principle #1 is too extreme.

While I confirm that writing is a powerful medium for thinking, anybody writer with a shower to take or a hike to walk will tell you that thinking takes place in many ways.

Parts like "If you want to learn and remember something long-term, you have to write it down" depends so much of context. Again, writing down does help me to commit things in memory, but for some information, audio is better. For others, repeating in my head is better.

Good advice all in all, but the definitive tone of the article is not needed IMO.
You don’t ask all of them at once - one or two of them may get used in a week.

Feedback comes because you’re talking on a regular (weekly or bi-weekly) basis. If the employee is on the wrong trajectory, you’ve waited far too long to talk!
Probably, at least if you really want to go by train all the way.

You can find other weird routes if you try, too. Teheran to Bangkok by train is a weird one. You have to go west via Istanbul, then northeast to Moscow, then take the Transsiberian, then south through China, finally westwards to Bangkok. All possible but very convoluted and hardly something you'd do in order to reach the destination.

In one way it reminds me of some friends of mine who went on a trip around the world for two months — on one airline ticket. The ticket was to New Zealand and back, with quite a few longish stopovers. Not the itinerary one would choose just to get to New Zealand.
Many of these will come off as frustrating and manipulative.

When I, a manager, ask “what is the biggest obstacle facing you and how can i remove it,” I’m offloading the manager-level work of identifying blockers for my team on the individual.

And hey, that might work, your teammate might have an insight you’re missing. But then, if they do have that insight, you’ve volunteered to do a shitload of work for your team.

Thats is, in theory, good- but ive never had a manager that was willing to actually do the work when they asked the questions on this list. They'd squirm out of their offer, and try to rephrase it as something i could do. Leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
