I think peoples concerns are quite valid, but a lot of the criticism comes from poorly designed tools. In full disclosure, I've been researching developer insights for quite a while and I will be releasing something in the near future that focuses on "developer first metrics". The goal is to showcase how code metrics can be used by developers to improve their day to day routine. And by doing so, make software metrics, less of a taboo.

When I took a hiatus from my startup a year and a half ago, I learned a lot about code metrics and how it is misused and why there is such a desperation for it. There is a reason why, GitPrime was acquired for about 180 million USD. I don't think it (GitPrime) serves developers well, but it does highlight how desperately management wants to know what is going on.

Since the details on "GitHub Insights" is pretty much hidden (unless you are willing to pay for it), I can't speak much for how "developer centric" it is, but if the focus for "GitHub Insights" is to appeal to developers as well, then I think it will go a long way to make software metrics a good thing for the industry as a whole.

Right now I'm keeping things under wraps, but I've attached some screenshots of what kind of metrics you can surface that can help developers. Note, the screenshots are not the final product, as the product is still being heavily refined. And what makes my solution unique is, everything can be validated. That is, if you want to have a conversation around why a piece of code (or codes) had such a high churn, you can drill down to the source code level to see how the changes were derived.

As I mentioned early, I've been studying code metrics for a while and I strongly believe you will need developer buy in, if you want any chance of success with code metrics. So in my opinion, how positive/useful "GitHub Insights" is, will depend heavily on how developer friendly it is.
I think one of my favorite errors by google's featured snippets was when google stated quite definitely that Mercury performed a gravity assist using the planet Venus. It was wrong to a laughable degree. Reading the article itself, that sentence referred to the Mariner 10 probe performing a gravity assist around Venus, en route to Mercury.
"Pay less if it's not urgent" doesn't sound evil or anything. Like the pandemic has proved that delivery workers are a scarce resource, what do you want them to do, have a raffle?
Well thats a lot of code to anal-ise
Parallels to the real-world certainly make technology easier to learn, but not necessarily easier to use, and I'd argue it goes against the main benefit of computing - simplifying physical processes through abstraction.

You could design a VR environment that lets you walk around your virtual house, open your virtual front door, walk down your virtual driveway to your virtual mailbox, pull out virtual envelopes and open your virtual mail, but you'd just be replicating all the old real world cruft that doesn't matter to achieve your goal. What you really want is just to read some text in an email.

I had an older professor in college who still read and replied to all of his email via terminal, and he was multiples faster than those of use that used Gmail, but I remember thinking I'd never devote the time to learn to do things this way when the way I'm used to works just fine.

Apple has done a tremendous amount to make technology more approachable, and in doing so has brought millions into the digital age, but I do think the pendulum has swung a bit too far - a monitor isn't a desk, it's a monitor. Too much value is placed on "intuitiveness" these days, and while those real-world parallels might feel nice to interact with, there's a time to disavow ourselves of them to take full-advantage of what the technology can be.

This makes sense because the IRS has been coming after Facebook and Google for years to tax their free food as a form of income.

Expensing WFH lunches would give IRS more ammo to tie the food to taxable individual employee benefits.
You give managers too much credit.
What's your gameplan for the rest of your life? You're never going to kiss anyone or share a cup or a smoke or any of the thousands of ways that have infected the vast majority of humanity? You can even get it passing through your mom's birth canal.

Your two examples of transmission are so specific that I'm not sure you know how it spreads. Just extended family members kissing or sharing cups with your kids? What?

Herpes-1 is just part of the human condition. Time to get over it. Btw, odds are that you have it. And for your own sanity, don't worry -- it doesn't mean you were making out with your family nor their kids.
It might work for low level development tasks (which could very well be most of the software development happening in the world, who knows?), but not for anything more advanced.
Yup that's what I've found, unfortunately for me I realised this after purchasing it. It's odd that it's marketed as a high end performance laptop whereas it's more comparable to a low-mid range desktop.

The pen doesn't currently work, I have an older iPad Pro for when I need pen input so not a big issue for me.

I primarily like it for the form-factor & build quality, which in my opinion matches Apple level, but I seldom use it as a "tablet". It's more a super-portable laptop for me that can also serve as a convenient way to kick back and consume content.

I, weirdly enough, also like the type cover over standard laptop keyboards. Maybe it's because it's not part of the tablet itself that I find the keys less stiff and as a result more comfortable than on most laptops.

That the existence of infinity and eternity is the most probable hypothesis.
I'm not sure that works as an explanation, because Pizza Hut executives are pretty well compensated too, and their app also shows all the signs of being overengineered (or rather, over rockstar ninja'd).

I think it's more of an issue of the (ready-to-eat) food production and delivery being too highly coupled for a third party to bolt on a profitable service, as in my other comment:

Yes it is, at first I didn't filtered it, but statistically domains with org tld are much more likely to be the website of an organization, even if I agree it is not always the case.

The complexity of the task is that if you don't want to miss ANY quality content you will end up filtering almost nothing. I took the risk to miss few good content if that reduce the number of links to go through overall. But this is not an optimum
Hah yessss email me!

Ctrl + right arrow moves to the end of a word. Game. Changer.
> so they implemented what they thought was the intention of the law, to avoid prosecution.

That's not what actually happened. Companies got scared that the law would impact their business model, for which the law was directly design to impact, and asked lawyers to find the minimum change which could be argued as being in compliance.

When you ask lawyers to find a solution to a problem you do not get the intention of the law. If you ask a lawyer to find a solution to tax law you don't get the intention of the tax law, you get tax avoidance, the direct opposite. And if you ask a lawyer about consent, as I have done during conferences, you get straight answers like "People can consent to a 20 page EULA they have not read or have the legal education to translate".

It not that the word is stupid or that the person who designed the law is stupid. It just happens that if you pay a lot of people who have studied and spent a large part of their life to find clever interpretations of words what you get is a clever interpretation that may or may not be what a judge will see.

To make a quick parallel, a bunch of lawyers for companies are arguing that while the company is having millions in profits and giving out a lot of dividends to shareholder, the company is at the same time in "economical crisis" and thus deserve government grant money in order to handle corona. The department in charge of giving out the money asked its lawyers and they agreed, but the politicians are now a bit upset since they disagree. And so now everyone is arguing/blaming each other and discussing if they should change the law to specify what an economic crisis is and isn't and if the change to the law should be retroactive or not.
i mean for sure, it's just the combination that's silly.
> Right, and the easiest way to fix it is to throw up a cookie disclaimer and forget about it. So disclaimers become ubiquitous.

Except there's no such thing as a cookie disclaimer as I said in another comment. Extra tracking/data processing has to be opt in, and you have to provide the service to the user even if they don't opt in, so you can't just throw up a notice that says you might not be compliant because you still need to be compliant.

> Are you familiar with Proposition 65 in California?

Yep, it's irellevant.
800$ is the nominal price. Real price is the fact that it is not tied to your employer, particularly your employers’ negotiation power with the insurance company. Which in turn increases your negotiation power as an employee. Not only for pay, but also other non-priced issues like quality coworkers, meaningful job etc.
A couple of things that spring to mind:

- super simple: no need to integrate a charting library or do server-side rendering

- performance: if you have a table of hundreds of rows each with a sparkline chart (e.g
CPU load/QPS/error rate/etc for many nodes etc in a cluster), just some text will be hugely more performant that 100x charting widgets or 100x server-side rendered images.
Considering Spain was not a democracy until 1975 and the first EU parliament election was in 1979, I'd say the possibility of an undemocratic state in Europe was not unforeseeable at the time of its formation.
I know a guy who was developing a reverse image search system in this niche. I'll pass this on to him.
The Wim Hof Method. I never had any issue with:

- snow

- rain (being soaked was in rare cases still an issue)

- anything cold really

Before that I was unhappy with whatever was cold. Now I'm neutral at worst and super exhilarated and hyped like I'm taking drugs (but legally) at best. The adrenaline rush is very strong and very real, and a lot of fun :)

How I would pitch this to my younger 18 year old self: want insta-ten-percent more happiness without changing anything about yourself, but by simply learning a breathing technique? Learn the Wim Hof Method and never complain about being cold again!
In the Bay Area Instacart has been the best option in my experience. A few weeks ago Amazon Fresh and most other services I checked were impossible to get, but on Instacart you could still get a spot 3 days out if you booked it before about noon. Now it seems better across the board, still spotty on other services but on Instacart you can reliably get any time slot you want the next day and even usually same-day.
Heh yeah I am going to put some stuff on github and I suppose make a YouTube video about it.

> What is going on here?

Maybe fear for even more corporate bullshit interfering with the already difficult job a developer has to do?

> confusing bad management with metric visibility

Hmm not so confusing IMO. And what is your definition of 'bad management'? Most management I've worked with as a developer have no clue about coding and the complexity we're working in. These metrics could be valuable for someone who knows more about the complexity of the underlying technology and what is needed to actually make the PR happen.
Thanks for linking that, the first thing I wondered when they said "herpes" was "which one"?

Looks like the answer to that is herpes simplex virus type I (HSV-1)
> The only time I could see myself using this is in the following scenario

You can already do this. There's an edit button when you view any file and a streamlined process for turning your change into a PR. I don't think Codespaces will make this any faster. Maybe you can fix slightly less trivial things due to the IDE support but on the level you described no new capabilities are added.
Disqus was baked into the template I used for my blog so I kept it: https://thoughts.willcipriano.com/weird-python-tricks/

It works well and is simple to implement.
People who were on the post-USSR-collapse Fukuyama high of thinking that history was an uninterruptible march towards more liberal democracy and that states would never de-democratize. It seems ridiculous in the cold light of 2020 but it was a pretty common belief in the 90s.
OK, not LZ but Jimi Hendrix maybe? Someone who defined new sound which is "obvious" and widespread now?
As childish as it seems, this one actually stuck with me for over 20 years and makes me step back and relax in situations where bad thoughts can snowball and result in stress.

Basically, it's a saying that a neighbour's 5-year-old son said once (likely repeated from his father): "It's better to be pissed off than pissed on."
Good advice should give the receiver useful mental frameworks to contextualize the advice and to even reason it out themselves.

Of course this means that sometimes the advise won't be directly actionable, but it will be better in the meta sense because it will be like teaching to fish rather than handing over a fish.

Think of advising like presenting a decision tree to someone that THEY have to navigate. Your value add was in condensing abstract thoughts into a decision tree.
Congrats Alex, any chance of a cheaper tier for Cyberleads, maybe limiting it a single country?
Wow, that person seems to do this in all of the issues they file. They're also really good at filing issues despite the baby talk. All of their issues are well-researched and immediately actionable with a surprising amount of debugging completed before the initial submission.
I think it's in the documentary Synth Britannia [1] were Kraftwerk explain themselves as; musician engineers.

As I get older I start to appreciate the early synth groups a lot more. Spend many hours listen to Kraftwerk over the decades.

Wow. An 8-question survey. I sure am convinced.
I just don’t think wild speculation about science is fun. What is fun to me about science is fact based exploration. Hypothesis is great and conjecture has its place, but wild conjecture is not fun to me. You can feel otherwise and that’s okay!

I think you severely underestimate how hard it is to do this for “all” and “every” language. Even VSC only has first class support for a handful of top languages. Most languages I use have barely more then a syntax highlighting package.
For the record, a couple Atlas rockets did crumble under their own weight due to unexpected loss of pressure:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imkdz63agHY

And some Atlas missiles on display are still being pressurized to this day:
http://heroicrelics.org/ussrc/atlas/dsc18272.jpg.html

Like really, there is a compressor next to the rocket that keeps constant pressure inside against the slight leaks. Pretty impressive for 40-50 old rocket left outside exposed to the elements to be still this airtight. :)
You could increase your income to time ratio by getting a higher salary, no? Whereas passive income is about investing your income to make you money, which is agnostic of how much money you actually pull in due to salary.
It's interesting that this is the moment at which you chose to do that.
One thing that helps me managing Python environments in VS Code: I start VSCode from the command line with my virtual environment activated ("code -n .").

With this, I rarely have issues with VSCode picking up my environment. Hope that is of some use to you.
That's correct and that's exactly what the leadership of AU+NZ are discussing at the moment as per the article.

>The meeting discussed a possible "trans-Tasman bubble", where people could go between Australia and New Zealand freely, and without quarantine. But she said visitors from further afield were not possible any time soon.

Trade will still occur of course. There doesn't seem to be a documented risk of COVID spreading via cargo ships. Tourism is the issue.

The hope is that since AU/NZ have more or less as much outgoing tourism as they do incoming tourism the economic damage from border closures can be mitigated by directing tourism internally and bilaterally. New Zealand has been at 0 new cases for days now and Australia seems to be just a couple of weeks behind on getting COVID-19 to zero new cases. There were 24 new cases in Australia yesterday but that's far away from the peak 500+ they had in March. So it's a possibility.

The only risk to these two nations is foreign travel sparking a new wave of infections. So foreign travel will have to be restricted. In all other respects life will go back to normal. I don't think the same is true of any other nations in the world right now. Nowhere else will you be able to live normally without that risk.

Seriously if the best negative anyone has against the quarantine is you'll have to continue to restrict international travel now that you've literally got the number to 0 new cases you've lost me. That's such a small price to pay.
I'm in the second half of my life and I married an HSV-negative. I try not to put my mouth on sketchy things.

Defending against such an "attack" is much easier if the technology is widely available and many people can play around with it and explore the limits.
Kumulos Adds Confirmed Delivery to Push Platform
The usual theory on HN is that having to call means they're gong to milk you for money.

But I work with a SaaS product and the up front pricing is sort of irrelevant if only because the customers want a highly customized product and frankly you really need to know their business / work with them to find what they want to figure out what the price for implementation and customization is.

In our case it isn't a scam or a ploy for more money, it's just the nature of the beast / industry / and every single time it is what customers end up asking for (lots of customization and etc).

Now maybe that is the case for Github Code scanning, but also maybe it is very much a product that depends on how exactly you want it to work for you and that changes the pricing ...
It should be very easy to test for correlation though since both conditions are usually medically documented. If the correlation is not that high then this story probably doesn’t mean all that much.
Legend. I saw Kraftwerk live years ago and it was one of the most overwhelming performances I’ve ever seen in my life. Beneath the bouncy, poppy hooks there was a massive darkness — the pairing of visuals with the music really drove that home. (The only other live musical performance that I recall giving me a similar feeling was the band ‘Godspeed You Black Emperor‘, who also made use of projected imagery in such a tightly-coupled fashion.)

One of my favorite Kraftwerk songs is probably “pocket calculator.” [1]

but not likely. The pressure to develop a vaccine - or at least a very effective therapy like using monoclonal antibodies - is extremely high. Most people survive COVID19, so there must be either a way to trigger a proper immune response or to at least rebuild parts of their response.

We‘re currently doing a lot of very advanced science in all related fields in parallel and I think that we can be very sure that we‘ll come up with multiple useful solutions within two years or so.
And with a lot of general advancements to scale out processes that have been done on small scales until now.

That does not mean that we‘ll be back to what used to be “normal“, though.
Yeah.

FWIW I think it would be rare for somebody to build that kind of node. Applications that fully utilize two CPU sockets while simultaneously maxing 10x V100s are super rare. Usually for GPGPU applications the CPU is mostly idle, and only "orchestrates" the GPU usage.

If one needs to support both GPGPU-only and CPU-only applications in a cluster, one would usually just build two separate partitions. One with e.g. 4-8 V100s per node, but way weaker and cheaper CPUs, and the other one with 2 beefy CPU sockets but no GPUs.

Also, if you are going for that kind of interconnects, you are probably building a system with >100 nodes. For your price, that's 160 million dollars, which is on the ballpark of what these systems costs. You usually get a cheaper price per node at that scale (although not much cheaper), but there are many costs (installation, maintenance, training, etc.) that are not covered there. In particular, those nodes will be running quite hot (just add the watts that those V100s and the CPUs use!), so the cooling infrastructure required to held those in a relatively small space can also end up costing quite a bit. You don't want a water pipe breaking and destroying a rack containing 10 of these nodes costing 1.6 million dollars, right?
Covariant.ai and applying deep learning to robotics
The funny thing about the AI meme generator is per the technical write up (https://towardsdatascience.com/meme-text-generation-with-a-d...), that network is even less advanced than the old recurrent neural network approaches. (it uses convolutional neural networks which are more used for images than text nowadays)

However, this is the one case where more incoherence works better.
Oh, OK; sorry.
