I used to leave copies of Mythical Man Month on the seats of the MUNI in SF during the DotCom era. Also PeopleWare. Actually Patti Dunn gave me a few hundred extra copies of PeopleWare from some Barclays event I accidentally attended and I couldn't conveniently get them home on my bike, so that was a one-time event.

I so enjoyed the pragmatism of Crockford's "Javascript: the good parts" that I gave it away for a while too.

Sometimes I would print out great tracts like "big ball of mud" and leave them at appropriate places in SF.

Eventually I realized I was either preaching to the converted or preaching to the wilderness. So I stopped. But you've inspired me to reconsider anonymous viral software evangelism, at least for a brief moment.
Just curious: What's your preferred React component library?
Linux user here to confirm that I bitterly miss OmniGraffle. That is one of the most amazing pieces of software of all time. I used to dream GNUStep would advance enough to allow Omni to target Linux.

The Cocoa APIs in the hands of decent developers result in pretty amazing software. Desktop services were great too (though I gather have been hobbled in recent macOS releases?).

I’m actually really surprised there hasn’t been more of a push to emulate Apple’s approach to desktop / GUI APIs. For all the effort dumped into Gnome, KDE, and a thousand skin-deep window dressings for Linux, we could have had a truly first-class alternative implementation of Cocoa.

As it is I worry that too many developers are living as vassals to Apple’s platform. It would be nice to have an alternative to Apple that doesn’t abandon all the blood sweat and tears non-Apple developers have poured into enriching the platform.
I think it was perfectly clear.

People who believe in this nonsense are essentially communists. The people who came up with it, clearly were and they were quite explicite about this.

They don't want equal opportunity, they reject that something like that even exists as opportunity is always unequal. Only transformation of society to communism in the end will 'solve' those problems.

So yes, in their opinion all of this stuff is evil and bad and should be replaced with ... something better. Of course they couldn't really tell you how that would look like.
They (all phone providers) can stop the caller ID spoofing. They just don't want to invest the time and money to do so. It's finally a bipartisan issue but as long as Ajit Pai is the FCC chairman, nothing will happen aside from a few pay to block gambits.

It's because they don't have liability for it because they act as a platform. Whereas with Amazon Basics, they risk their brand.
Rust macros are real, structural macros, like in most macro supporting langugaes. So they are not like the preprocessor style macros in C and relatives.

A good mental model is to think about this kind of macro is as a compiler callback that defines a syntax tree fragment in its body, to be evaluated when the macro is called.

If the hospitals get overcrowded, there will also be more people dying from other causes and suffering from long term consequences, because a percentage of them won't be able to receive adequate care.

You equivocate, as we all do, on the meaning of "rational".

If "rational people go into corporations" then it can't be the case rationality serves other values (as you also note) because in that case we'd need to know the employee's values.

"But they get to do what they enjoy, perhaps for a while." <-- Then pursuing a startup is perfectly rational if you prize doing what you enjoy. I don't think you'd disagree, just noting that multiple meanings we ascribe to "rational" complicates discussions like this.
Thank you for sharing. How did you go about building your audience? What would you recommend as first step for someone without an audience? I've made some videos and courses in the past that have done well and have always thought I should be making more videos and/or writing more.
Nothing is stopping you from rolling your own, or...developing some multicloud solution.
This is a convenience sample no doubt, but convenience is important here, as timeliness is important. It is easy to naysay, but why don't you suggest a less biased convenience sample? Because unless you mandate whole population testing, samples will always be biased in some way. Those who have phones, those who have time, those who are motivated, etc etc. Given all the potential ways it could be biased, choosing a convenience sample at locations almost universally used is not bad at all, imo

>There's a heartland of obvious, flagrant misinformation

If it is obvious, why does it need banning?

The bigger problem is that many people haven't learned how to process information properly. It's frivolous to just demand banning. Banning should only be a first step among many to spread media competence. How can google ban corona misinformation but just recently has made ads and links almost indistinguishable on its result page?

The LA riots were in 1992. People were getting arrested for marching for civil rights in the 1960s.

Things have improved quite a bit. There was just a period where things were brushed under the rug and not acknowledged, but giving internet access to everyone has made us aware of what's been ignored for so long. There are clear bumps of race-motivated crimes or discrimination sometimes, but there's a pretty obvious downward trend in acceptance of it.
Did you actually read the advice? It explicitly provides advice addressing your concern.

"In some countries masks are worn in accordance with local customs or in accordance with advice by national authorities in the context of COVID-19. In these situations, best practices should be followed about how to wear, remove, and dispose of them, and for hand hygiene after removal".

It then goes on to say ...

"Advice to decision makers on the use of masks for healthy people in community settings.

As described above, the wide use of masks by healthy people in the community setting is not supported by current evidence and carries uncertainties and critical risks. WHO offers the following advice to decision makers so they apply a risk-based approach."

Auto industry’s fight with the FCC over ‘vehicle-to-everything’ communication
Awesome idea! I would reccomend seeding this with the pwa version of very popular apps. If you want to grow this you’ll need to expand beyond people who know or even care what a pwa is. The easiest way is just to convert people from using an app they use now to using the pwa.

Think about a random nontechnical Facebook user - How would they get their feet wet? Likely by opening the pwa of Facebook, realizing it’s pretty solid, and trying new ones after that. (I’m not saying Facebook is a good example, just the audience you might think about).

I’d definitely be into helping out with marketing strategy, lmk if you need advice or an extra hand.
We are trying to provide a service based on CRM (Salesforce) data to our customers in China. Salesforce doesn't exist (yet...) in CN, and wondering if something like this could be useful in moving needed data to AWS China. Then I realized that Redshift is not your typical OLTP db and not suitable for regular querying from an application. Curious to hear HNs thoughts.

EDIT: Someone mentioned Heroku Connect in one of the comments. We do use this to archive certain objects (> 75 million records) and I have thought about replicating this data to AWS China (Postgres). Could be one option but some of our data is real time (e.g. customer orders), not sure what the "freshness" of the data would be.

They make the leap to "better-fitting cockpits solved the problem of air crashes" without really proving it. I understand their theory, and it sounds believable. But it might be a spurious correlation.
I was referring to the tweet on human-to-human transmission.

Masks are a different story and I'm aware of the early criticism there. Although I think they provided a fairly reasonable argument for their position, especially given suppy constraints.
It's a very slippery slope. The portal is gonna cost money to create, and have a lot of brand value in itself. How could you ever trust that they were never gonna start charging for the portal? Or leaning on you to list in the portal.

This is a mistake.

It implies that we should all agree that WHO:

1) Is not corrupt
2) At all times represents the best available expert opinion and advice

But all institutions can become corrupted and the second point is highly implausible.

WHO ignored Taiwan’s early warning and maintained for a dangerously long time that human to human transmission was not possible.

There is a reason why the US cut funding to WHO.

This new direction of social platforms to silence people is a fundamentally anti-intellectual and authoritarian idea. We are heading for something awful if we all keep playing along.
The "No" is a gesture. If US was serious about the "No' where won't even be a Nixon visit or Resolution of any kind.

Keep in mind RoC was one of the five founding members of UN.
I really appreciate this advice, and I plan to try this out tomorrow. I know that I have a tendency to speak quickly, and I have been including verbiage to indicate when I'm done talking to prevent people from interrupting. Just a simple "that's it" or asking a question at the end has been helpful for me.
In the early 1900s they didn't have a lot of the technology we have today. There are things that can be automated away as well as many other logistical optimizations that can be made if you're designing the store as a warehouse instead of both a warehouse and a customer experience. That experience moves online. Of course this is more of a long term thing and would require a big investment.

I've been receiving the influenza vaccination every year. It wouldn't be a huge problem to receive also SARS-CoV-2 vaccination on top of that.

PWA is definitely great for developers and users. But I often see users asking for native apps even when they're using PWA at hand. They say "It's more convenience to have app version".
The first expression of a concept is not necessarily the best or most useful expression. As such the book can be the first expression of the concept of Design Patterns and be worthless as a lasting text.
They exist, but are usually not sufficient to support a drug or vaccine approval.

The standard is two well controlled studies, but additional open label trials may be used to address specific health authority concerns.

It’s similar to our viewpoint as well. Currently, it’s easy to see gains because we’re mainly going from highly manual processes to 1st generation AI applications. Future generation AI applications will mostly be optimization and squeezing out very tiny performance gains. We want to be able to highlight eventually how much things will cost and whether it’s even worth spending so much for a tiny amount of gain.

There’s so much hype right now that silly money is just being thrown at new tech without fully understanding the value you’re getting.

> my advice for anyone who thinks a call is suspect, is to call the talking clock (123 in the UK). [...] But if you call 123, and reach your bank, you know summat's up.

No no no no no.

Hang up and use another phone. End of. Any advice that you call another number first or whatnot is bad advice. If such advice got widespread, what would scammers do?

Obviously, they would have a DTMF decoder on the other end and they would patch the call through to the number you called. These are sophisticated people who send fake security officers to people's houses to "pick up the compromised card". Call forwarding is trivial.
I believe in Europe, they mostly use beet sugar rather than cane or HFCS. It looks like the EU in the recent past heavily regulated their sugar market though

Japan has a high usage of HFCS (40% of sugars), and I always assumed that was due to trade agreements with the US giving access to cheap corn since there is so little domestic corn production.
> I'm genuinely curious why Gladwell is a negative control. The name sounds familiar but I don't know much about him

He's written a lot of bestselling pop social science books. IIRC, he's a good storyteller, but is criticized for cherry-picking stuff to create the impression that you've just learned something profound and counter-intuitive when maybe you actually haven't.

I've been working on a Zero Trust project that requires client certs and implementing SCEP for cert distribution has been a huge headache.

I wonder why they always put so little effort in. I know at least part of the reason is that nintendo wants to make an entirely child friendly experience which usually involves leaving as little player to player interaction as possible.
>Say you're new to a codebase but have identified an area you want to change, is there a way to use git history to figure out who's best to ask about it? Does the question matter all that much?

Not really, because I'll discover it either on GitHub or GitLab and I'll open an issue, and the go to people tend to either manifest, or be tagged by curators.

I guess relevant indicators to look at for an individual:

Number of issues of a certain label.

Number of comments on issues of a certain label.

Most tagged persons for a certain tag (i.e: based on other contributors action of tagging, this is the go to person for X label).

Change of issue state (who closed an issue, what label was on that issue, is there a pattern).
>There is no reason PWAs couldn't run as well as native in most cases

I mean, PWAs by definition run inside a VM that has to provide a very heavy runtime, don't they?

This isn't a (comparatively) minimal like the JVM -- this is usually a Chromium instance, with the full V8 engine, Canvas and DOM support, and sandboxing.

It's not reasonable to say that something with this much baggage should be able to run as quickly as a native application, which can often afford to have a much more minimal sandbox, no bytecode layer, a smaller memory footprint, and more deliberate and performant integration with underlying system APIs.
So no false positives? That’s probably why they kept on using it - if it grows, you can be sure that you’re pregnant.
It's linked to Catalog Manager, which is a third class citizen in the FB ecosystem that they're shoehorning into being a second class. It's similar to Facebook Messenger taking Facebook Page and trying to upgrade its citizenry within the ecosystem and proclaiming it to be chatbots.

that's a fair point, but vision is such a high-dimensional and dynamic input that my feeling is the last 20% of super-fast autofocus, auto color balancing, high dynamic range, removing motion-blur, etc. will be very difficult to improve upon. it seems that just increasing brightness/fov by making better waveguides or MEMS will be much easier. that being said, magic leap's lack of success doesn't bode well.

I don't think the techniques and technology have become quite refined enough for this to be widely deployed, at most people are simply experimenting with the idea. But people are taking this seriously because it represents quite an attack vector once things fall into place.
