Probably the same thing a doctor does when a patient ignores a pain and they have to tell them it's stage 4 cancer: Provide palliative care and your condolences.

At some point you have to ask how the company let things get this bad, and what they've done concretely to avoid it happening again. And whether you really want to participate in the heroic levels of effort it's going to take to keep the patient alive in 4 years.

Louis C.K has a joke about how his ankle was bothering him and the doctor told him, "Well, it does that now". That's it? "It does that now?!" Monologue monologue. The first time I laughed along with his joke. On subsequent viewings I said, "Hold on..."

Louis is a seriously sedentary guy. He's been letting things go even more than I have, which is saying something. But I do exercise. If I get to pick the feat of strength, I could make the leaderboard. When I bunged up my hip I got PT, and I went, and I could do the exercises. I didn't do all of them though, so it still bugs me from time to time (also on the last day the PT did something to my good knee, which is still bothering me a year later). If I were in proper athlete shape, they might offer more, because my prognosis for recovery from something more aggressive would be high.

Nobody is going to look at Louis, or listen to Louis, and offer that. Louis is not going to do any of that shit. He's just going to crack jokes about it, or about you... as is amply evidenced by that set. So yeah, your ankle does that now, sport. (BTW, my ankle is fucked up too, and I do the exercises he pantomimed. They do actually help quite a bit, which he would know if he had tried them even twice)

And yet we do it at work all the time. And I am seriously beginning to wonder what would happen if we just triaged these situations and walked away from some of them. If we just let the saner competitor win.
Yes. It was deliberate and not a bug, the only problem in the company's mind was that they got caught. They have features they wish to deliver, and will exploit any weakness in your system to do so.
If you must, then do it right!

Netlify is indeed very easy to use, but (at least here in Europe), I find their performance disappointing. Sites that shouldn't need more than a hundred milliseconds to load take a couple of seconds. Of course I can't really complain about a free product, but if it weren't free, I wouldn't be using it still.

I'm aware of that. I'm pushing the argument to the edge to show that ads are likely not as effective in reducing intellect as parent describes. Technical knowledge is not a panacea against the psychological effects of being advertised to, it only allows a user to turn them off. People fully soaked in advertising choose to leave the ad world.

Static site generators make it pretty darn easy, though, especially if you serve it off S3. You don’t have to think about that site every year if you don’t want to, and it’s generally fine for blogs.
Not completely correct.

The Mount Gambier eruption (VEI 4) was about 5,000 years ago and it's only 100km away, so it's possible they had contact with people fleeing that area, along with ash fall and a 10km high plume. VEI 5 and you have a Mount St Helens scale event.

A similar eruption (and one of the more likely to occur in Australia) would be catastrophic with the town literally built around the crater.
It gives a ridiculously large amount of screen real estate, though.

For example, on one of those, one can have a side-by-side diff with 120+ character lines and still have half of the screen width remaining for documentation or terminals.

While I don't believe the 'it's all cointel' theory myself, it does also seem possible the USAF could have highly advanced prototypes that aren't ready for mass production yet.
To my knowledge this is some sort of urban legend thing. I looked into this world about a year ago and it seems there are a number of weird things that have basically nothing backing them up that won't die. There is endless talk among UFO enthusiasts about this ranch, this bob lazar guy, etc. These are things that really have no leg to stand on, yet get the same type of traction in UFO circles as well documented sightings like the Nimitz incident, Minot AFB, etc. I was really blown away by the real stuff, I don't get how people are seriously skeptics about these cases, but there seems to be some inability with this audience in differentiating between those cases and whatever they heard on reddit about skinwalker ranch.

This article explores Apple’s consistent attention to accessibility, and how other tech companies with commitments to accessibility, like Microsoft and Google, compare to Apple in their accessibility efforts. It also shows where these companies can improve their consistency, and that no company is perfect at being an Assistive Technology provider yet.
Yes, sometimes people can say that they want one thing, but in reality they probably don't.

My theory was that there can be some complex set of criteria, including the emotional match, that can determine a better job fit for each person. The challenge here is to determine that set, and develop an assessment tool for both the job seeker and the company/team.
Daily currency and stock data is practically free in most cases. Anyway, this is historical data and not real time. I don't think Reuters gives a fuck beyond your payment for downloading the data in the first place.

Now if you piped the real time API to somewhere else for a broadcast / simple multicast, Reuters may take issue with it.

I'm already using a 30" monitor; there aren't a lot of 4k monitors >30" that aren't full TVs (50-60"). Going to 4k at 30" just increases my DPI with no increase in area, and I'm already not using tiny fonts; more DPI isn't what I want. I'd really like 4k at 40" or so: that still bumps me from 100 DPI to 110 DPI, but I get a lot more usable screen real estate. Unfortunately, the market for monitors over 30" is tiny / costly.

In my experience, most of the time the right decision for the business is investing the time into the core product. If you have 6 months (as stated in the article), what could you do with that time if you could dedicate it to improve the core codebase, rather than a rewrite? Worse case scenario is after 6 months you don't have a perfect codebase, but you've made it better, and you don't have yet another layer to deal with.

Certainly, there are times where that's not reasonable. Maybe the core codebase is on a proprietary technology. Maybe it's built around an EoL framework. Maybe it's built on on a FOTM language that you can't hire for at all anymore.

In those cases, which are more rare than developers like to admit, I think a piecemeal migration makes sense. In my experience, it's better to do it by altering the consumers. Whether it's a frontend that can point to another endpoint, or an API gateway that can switch out the service it's pointed to, or making a shim layer (proxy), that can serve that purpose.

Having a service that is both the proxy and the new application is a poor separation of concerns, very difficult to reason about, and makes it too easy to intermingle the logic between the old and the new. In my experience.
We only have a couple of rooms where we have the Owl plus another microphone, and those are rooms that are a little bigger than what is suggested for the owl so having the wireless mics help.

The owl pro seems to have been an improvement there. We only have one pro right now, but the speaker is much louder and mic a bit better.

Then do you know why he did that ? I don't know much about Kit Green but the image he appears to be trying to project is that of a serious, though open-minded, researcher. Trying to sell someone a device to communicate with the dead doesn't seem to fit with that.
It sounds then, instead of accredited investors, we need an accredited capital investment designation. Allow anyone to invest, but require those who would seek investment from anyone to be under more scrutiny. Of course, this is only if the one seeking investment choose to do so.
Yeah most of this thread reads like what I imagine a conspiracy theory forum would read like. Maybe I'm pessimistic, but nothing 'alien-y' can't be explained by one of: inexplicable/ as-of-yet unrecognised phenomena - geographic/ atmospheric, military research programs, and good old fashioned fakery.
>A brilliant engineer with all of the knowledge in the world can still sink a team by working on the wrong things all the time.

From HN comments, I get the impression that this is a common problem at companies like Uber. Lots of smart engineers with great technical talent, but they spend all their time making pet apps and services which satiate their interest in and excitement towards programming/engineering, but which have not much direct relation to the actual product or any other ultimate business objectives. If there is any relation, it's indirection upon indirection. I imagine this is probably because the core product is so narrowly-focused and basically "done" that they have to look for any other way to spend their time and energy without getting bored and demotivated.

I would guess this happens at a lot of companies with single, simple (from the user's perspective), narrowly-focused products, like Twitter.
Not quite. It's the "pointer cannot be null" requirement that makes it useless here. If you allow "pointer can be null for a moved-out-of object", then they're much more useful.

I'd say that it's the "pointer must not be null, even for a moved-out-of object" that's the "contrived" part.

> First and foremost is the idea of not tying your site's build process and hosting to a company that could go under.

Sounds like you're imposing a complex build process on yourself while getting locked into a web of AWS features to be honest.

Could you not skip generating the PDF resume since you've already got the HTML version to keep life simple?

If you stick to running a basic NPM script to build your site there's little lock-in with Netlify. You could also build your site on a CI platform then push the generated pages + assets to Netlify after.
I too think it should be scrapped and I look at how other places do it. Often in other countries I see lower wealth requirements and copy the general US SEC framework but sometimes over countries just have no registration exemptions for a private market, which is even worse.

The wealth requirements in US are so aggravating because they pass muster by putting the consequence on the issuer, not actually barring the person from investing. Almost impossible to challenge! But how we got here is that this is a successor to a test, which had horrible guidance and resulted in rampant discrimination - a sign of the times. This proposal reintroduces the test but inherits a more established FINRA testing infrastructure. FINRA tests are still barriers of entry that will hardly make the world more egalitarian as almost all of them require sponsorship from a financial institution - even the test prep materials aren't supposed to be shared. There are ways around it like a bucketshop cant you on payroll and offer you the test but its still an unnecessary and pretentiously exclusionary hurdle, built on purpose.
I thought the same until I looked into the matter. About 5% isn't crap. If you doubt, just ask what you will believe and I bet you can find your case in this subject. The other 95% is legitimate mis-identifications with a sprinkling of actual hoaxes to keep the skeptics fed well.

I'd go even further. Minimize the exposure time to parsers.

We started my undergrad compilers class with several weeks on parsing. I think it's by far the hardest aspect in all of compilerdom -- and as a Lisp programmer, I didn't understand the need to be tortured that way.

I do understand on a theory level why parsers would get put first in a compiler class, but they're a tremendous barrier to entry and just make the whole subject seem inaccessible. There's lots of other ways I can think of which would make it easier for newcomers to get some traction on the subject of compilers.

indeed, even if you have a ground link, something radio based makes a spectacular backup. even if you've got one good high speed link available, it's unlikely you've got two whose failures are even slightly decorrlated.
As you said: Depending on needs

S3 is not a single host solution and will neither get unavailable nor will lose data if one particular host (or even the datacenter it is in) becomes unavailable. If you don’t need those properties then building your own hosts might be cheaper.
The problem is that they don't have time or will to help the small guys.
I did something very similar recently with my website. With that said, I would not do it again. For doing something—seemingly so simple, the infrastructure work was a pain.

Also, while I’m at it, static websites are, in my opinion, a little “gimmicky” since it’s impossible to determine the user’s browser size at build time. This means that you have to make a choice to build for either mobile or desktop first. Then, if the user is using the other device, they’ll encounter the FOUC issue (flash of unstyled content).

For me, that’s big enough reason to not use static websites in the future.
Thank you for the advice. I've tried out passwordless login and found it more convenient, so that's not a problem. I'd want to be deploying a Python app I wrote myself, and some static files.
Yeow, 30 minutes?

I'd say the couple of MRIs I've had done took around 10-15min or so. I think I shifted a few mm slightly at one point (possible since you're not quite bolted down, just held firmly). For 30 minutes I'm quite sure I'd probably shift around quite a lot, either involuntarily, because I got uncomfortable, or because of mild claustrophobia. :/
Interesting article - makes an assertion, backs it up with lots of third party references.

In this case, I'm not sure if it's abstraction-insanity as much as having common solutions to common problems. You know what would be an insanity of abstraction? Rolling all that yourself.

Given that there are better and worse abstractions, most are not suitable for most use-cases, a lot of times simpler and more centralized is actually more stable. But when you start needing high-availability-coordination you're going to be damn happy that there are things such as Consul, etcd and Zookeeper.

As for Salt; by all means, start off by having bash scripts in source control, which at some points becomes a pain-point and you'll realize you need some kind of configuration management to not go insane.

Several of these tools are just putting a framework and common language for tasks we have to do either way.
This outcome is ridiculous and has no place in American society. It was more tolerable when high growth companies IPO’d at $30mm market caps but that world doesn't exist, serving to put a spotlight on these regulations separating the primary economic growth engine’s opportunities to just the already wealthy.
They'll make the model Y in Fremont because once the Model3 line moves to the new cast superstructure process enough space will be freed up for both lines to coexist because of their shared parts. The other factor is the strong market acceptance of the cybertruck means they'll need space for that and Sparks Nevada is a better choice because it won't likely share many parts with the model3/Y other than the motors.
The SEC has no way of knowing whether someone understands the risks of investing or not.

If the reasoning is to protect ignorant investors and prevent fraud, it would be more effective and equatable to have a test/certification to be a qualified/investor, rather than banning large swaths of the population from investing.

The current SEC rules are inherently discriminatory whereas the law should treat people equally.

I share your skepticism. Seems to me the engineer is falling prey to the Dunning-Kruger effect[1]. Rather than knowing enough to be able to puzzle together all the pieces they don’t know, I’d wager they don’t know enough to be able to discern what they won’t be able to figure out.

Sure, they have "highly advanced prototypes" where those prototypes obey the known laws of physics and experience inertia.

They have drones that are better than the existing drones. They absolutely don't have drones that are anything like the impossible vehicles in these UFO reports though.
>I'd guess there are hundreds of companies working on COVID-19 vaccines. Here's an interesting one that was sent to me last week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22313320

Yes, the BBC articles mentions they are mostly smaller companies funded by things like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This feels like a coordination problem given the size of the economic damage from stuff like this.

Ideally it would be governments picking up the slack, but if we are so inefficiently allocating money to vaccines that have such big impacts on Apple's supply lines, there's a business case for them hedging with investments of their own.
> Things like reddit, for example, work pretty great, in that if you don't like a community, then you can go to a different one, which moderation rules that you prefer.

The internet already works this way, if you don't like the moderation policies of a website you have the freedom to use a different website.
I don’t think you should be deceitful in any meaningful way, but I don’t think that making people wait a few seconds is anything more than showmanship.
That's an interesting idea. You'd probably need a psychologist to come up with the questionnaire and then maybe you could convince a company to let you run the
study. You'd need paired feedback to0... I guess you could ask people to reveal their performance evals anonymously but that might undervalue employee-employer fit. You'd probably want to have these ranked by some outside metric of each company's success. Someone must've already done this, if not it'd be a good research project for a psychology or business school grad student. Sounds like a worthwhile YC startup. Maybe something like "work at a startup" could factor in or run this type of study too.

Thanks for the advice! I was stuck thinking I'd have to learn something like Ansible to automate deployments, bash scripts is a greatidea.I

I have Linux on my laptop and I've been trying to document what I configure with heavily commented bash code, but I've run into issues with editing config files. I frequently want to say something like "edit this variable to this value" but sed feels too fragile and easy to mess up silently, relacing the entire file is silently badly future incompatible if other entries in the config get changed in an update, and appending to the file so the last item overrides feels hacky and doesn't always work.

Any software "Architect" who can't build what they say to build should have to get a new job.

Any programmer of less experience who continues to argue with the "Architect" after they have met the challenge of proving their ideas can be done should also have to get a new job.

Many less senior programmers are better at the every day idioms of a given language or tools used in daily programming. Many senior people have to do more than just code. But most senior people who can still practice if called upon are much better problem solvers in part because they have already failed so many times and each new batch of programmers keep re-inventing the same mistakes.
Sometimes you can achieve a lot if you don't care about getting any credit.
It's an act of duplicity.

Google wants you to believe both that it can detect a website owner doing bad things (blackhat SEO, click fraud on ads on their site to earn more money, etc), yet simultaneously that they can catch any bad actors faking those things to damage you (negative SEO, click fraud to terminate your own accounts, etc)

That obviously isn't possible. Google cannot determine the intent behind anonymized actions. They just want you to believe that they can in order to discourage people from trying to game the system.

I've heard of Twitter and YouTube accounts being suspended for buying followers, but anyone with $5 can send tens of thousands of fake followers at anyone's account.

The only real solution these services have is to silently ignore the faked traffic whenever they observe it. Anything else can be gamed from either side.
