Never in my life have I found these totally generic advice collations useful.

They're always vague, unfalsifiable, borderline platitudes. They "work" for the same reasons horoscopes work, and I think a sizable minority, if not majority, of people publishing such work are just sociopathic profiteers.

This post is an advertisement, but sadly that seems to be the origin of most content on the internet now - at least the SEO optimized results that fill the first (1-10?) pages.

The fact that you view a history of systemic sexism in tech and in the world as not a real problem is, in fact, part of the problem.

The good news is when people start being more inclusive with their language you'll see fewer people correcting them!
Right, an integral is a low-pass filter with infinite gain at DC and a derivative is a high-pass filter with gain of 0 (negative infinity dB) at DC; they both have 90 degrees of phase shift.
We've asked you many times to stop posting unsubstantive comments to HN. Cheap ideological warfare complete with a call for political violence? and a tedious cliché at the same time? Obviously not what this site is for. No more of this please, regardless of what you're for or against.

You understand that there are millions of women who are victims of abuse, sidelined or disregarded by society, and constantly repressed because of sexism, right?

Losing your job is a temporary problem for most people. Sexism, like the kind that is baked right into our language, is an inescapable daily struggle for many women.

We have the capacity to think about both women's rights and the recently unemployed at the same time. It's frankly sad that you can't look deeply enough at this issue to see it as more than a problem of "grammar preferences".
With Strava, you record your workouts (run, bike etc) and it will show you where you went, how far and how fast. Then it finds commonly-run “segments” within your ride, and ranks you on those segments against your friends and the world, so you can see yourself improving over time and compare your speed to others.

I tried reading Moby Dick several times and gave up because I felt a similar reaction to the prose. I finally opted for an audiobook version that was reviewed well for its lively narration. I loved it and subsequently bought a copy to reread certain passages. It's really a great example of literary engineering.

Having recently had a baby, 4 hours of presumably uninterrupted sleep per night is an absolutely amazing prospect! Luxury!

What I noticed was it was not so much a lack of sleep, but how the sleep is interrupted that was the killer. After a few days of barely sleeping longer than 30 mins at a time I found that memory was hugely impacted, and even trivial mental arithmetic required concentration. I suspect this is to do with not being able to get into the appropriate "deep sleep" cycles or something-something-REM sleep?

If you are up for it, please try the experiment again with 4 hours of sleep randomly broken up into 10-60 minute chunks (random variability is important - i.e you go to sleep not knowing how long you've got) distributed throughout the day, with a minimum of 60 minutes between each chunk. Enjoy :)

I always have the same questions now when I hear this policy: (1) Do they intend to adjust compensation based on where you work from? (2) Do they expect employees (squares) to show up to an office every quarter/year/etc.?
I have a lot of similar rules for mundane tasks and it shows when I've slacked. In addition, I also take time to verbalize how much I appreciate having (say) a clean kitchen, both immediately after the task, and whenever I actually appreciate it (like, say, first thing in the morning when I'm moving slow and just want some coffee).

For things that require focus, I do pomodoros. Knowing I have a break of X minutes coming up in Y minutes lets me focus on the task. It also provides a mini-deadline so I'm more likely to get the task done. Just before the break, I spend a minute or two deciding which micro-task I'm going to tackle during the next pomodoro, and do what I need to close up the current micro-task and prep for the next one so I can hit the ground running. This helps motivate me to start the next pomodoro at the end of those X minutes as well as make the best use of that time.
Well there's a cost benefit; Cheaper FPGAs may not necessarily be as performant as others for some tasks, there's still a gate budget to deal with, and I personally am not sure whether the FPGA world is one where you have full control over what you do with the chip when you sell it in a commercial product.

I know Gigabyte back in the mid 2000s made a PCIE Card that let you use DDR as a disk drive once upon a time; for the original they actually used a Xilinx Spartan FPGA since it was a smaller run.
My wife's Kia downshifts when you go more than a certain amount over the set-speed, which lets it apply "negative" throttle with engine braking.

Ask HN: Whatever Happened to Internet Forums?
I remember when I was a kid in the mid 2000s to early 2010s there would be all sorts internet forums where you would find all sorts of information. Console hacking, programming, school life, etc.

Interesting take, and it does track with my experience as a data nerd. Also, my first time looking at myself on the leaderboards was throughly depressing
that was not a call to anything! It is a historical analysis. I am happy to cite my sources.

Isn't assuming best intentions one of the rules here?
>suddenly you have tons of teams working on what seems to be fairly niche aspects of the company's product

At scale it tends to be worthwhile, even necessary, to engage fully with the complexity of all those "niche" aspects.

When you don't understand how something could possibly take so much effort, it's possible all the people working on it are idiots and you could do it better in a weekend. (When you spot situations like that, think of them as startup opportunities...)

It's also possible they're doing a good job hiding the complexity from you.
There was a topic/thread in the Strava support forum about routes exported from Strava to Wahoo Elemnt missing all turn directions (for both paying and free users). The thread kept going for years with over 1000 responses. Every one of them said "I need turn directions, it works for Garmin but not Wahoo, please fix". Strava ignored it completely, no response.
I really like my self-hosted Wallabag for this. There are browser extensions for Firefox and Chromium (and possibly other) and works well on my Android phone and online.

> why can't I sign some data with public key without being on secure origin.

I'm guessing you mean sign with a private key.

In a secure context the Browser gets to promise the context that this private key stays private if it wants. For example, should the the private key be posted to Twitter?

In a secure context you get to decide, because only code your wrote runs in that context, if you don't add "post private key to Twitter" code then it doesn't happen.

But in insecure contexts any on-path attacker can substitute their own code for yours. Now your "private" key is in a Twitter post, hilarious.
The problem I see with this line of thought is it tends to minimize personnel responsibility and overlooks the fact that everyone has _bad_ luck as well as good.. I had the 'bad luck' not to be born rich, should I let that define my life? or should I wait around for some 'good luck' to change that ?

The argument reminds me of the old religious debates about 'free will' vs 'destiny'...if some god already knows every decision we will make, and we make 'evil' decisions, were we destined to be 'evil' ? If a 'god' with perfect knowledge already knows we will make these 'evil' decisions, did we really have a choice (eg if we choose to be good, the 'gods' knowledge is no longer perfect..)

Just seems like a great way to remove personal responsibility from the conversation. Yes, we all have been lucky (and have all had bad luck..) but yes, you have to make the most of it as well.

Having the awesome luck to win the lotto doesn't really matter, if you never take the personal responsibility to cash in the ticket.

> Democrats in Congress are cracking down on social media is by far a much bigger deal

What legislation are you talking about? I mean... they only have one house of congress. I'm sure there's some rhetoric somewhere, but it's just rhetoric.

I mean, the POTUS himself routinely calls for censorship of the news media, but it's likewise "just rhetoric" because he can't unilaterally pass laws (though he can come closer than the house can). Does that not trigger your same logic? If not, why not?
This was predictable and the prediction applied more broadly than just tech start ups. Tech investment in general was over saturated.

I was predicting last April (2019) that we would be heading into recession within 18-24 months even though we were in the strongest and longest running bear market in history. I wasn’t the only one predicting this as I was seeing several vaguely similar comments here on HN. I had no idea there would be a pandemic, a depression, or that any of it would happen within a year. Investments crashed earlier and harder that I anticipated because the cause of the crash was something I never thought of, but the reaction and result are similar.

The reason why people were predicting a recession is that there was/is too much money tied to investment speculation that isn’t reflected in the revenue of a given organization. In more plain terms people were betting on growth even though growth alone couldn’t repay the investments at present, which looks like a Ponzi scheme. The idea of a Ponzi scheme is to bet on growth and then encourage additional layers of investment to drive up the value of the prior layers and then dump it before it implodes, like a game musical chairs. Here are some basic examples:

* Uber was a $60 billion unicorn. It was loosing billions every quarter though without any profit in sight and yet people were still investing in it. Now it’s shedding like employees and closing offices.

* Amazon is a less extreme and much less obvious example. For one Amazon is profitable, and two Amazon makes money on infrastructure which provides scalable growth. Amazon’s market cap is insane at $1.2 trillion. Amazon generates neither the profit, revenue, sales, or growth to account for anything close to that, which speaks to speculation. As an interesting side note has historically lost money on its retail business and on Prime. It took selling access to its infrastructure to deliver a profit.

* For an example of the opposite Bank of America’s stock tanked as a result of the pandemic but it still reported a very strong first quarter a month later. It looks like the bank will continue to perform well in its earning statements even with consumer mortgage and loan forgiveness due to strengths in other banking segments. It will be curious to watch as last week Berkshire Hathaway started dumping its investments in the banking sector. The most notable are its dumping of Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs that are failing to perform to expectations but it is also the largest single investor in BAC and it is dumping that too. This loss of investments won’t impact current business performance relative to the marketplace in general or to its competitors specifically.
You might like to include a quote for that, because I've read the rules and I didn't see anything to suggest pg changed his stance.
Yes, that’s also my main reason to use it. I really like the guided runs too.

My workaround is to remove the HealthKit permissions from NRC and use the iOS Workouts app in parallel. So before the run I start both apps, but only one is writing into HealthKit. It feels a bit silly but it works.
Language is fluid. The thing that was "right" to say 500 years ago wasn't right 100 years ago, and what was "right" 100 years ago wouldn't be right now. There are clear arguments for why encouraging people to think about the gendered language that they use and how it perpetuates gender roles would be beneficial in combating sexism. The arguments for maintaining existing language because it is currently the most popular tend to be pretty thin.
I would rather change some obsure the settings once (like tapping 5 times on phone info) than being pestered every time

> American companies didn't side with authoritarian regimes before

Please do a simple search before making incredibly wrong claims. There was one very famous case in the decade you refer to. And when you look at the history of American companies in general, you'll find more.

> The metric is personal freedom and how much you can do without the government or someone else preventing you from doing so.

> This is an improvement. It was also what we had before. It worked everywhere in America. I don't know of any place where it didn't work and do note that many countries without freedom envy the American way.

As others have pointed out to you, by that metric, the US failed considerably. It's not what we had before in practice. People have pointed out places where it didn't work.

> do note that many countries without freedom envy the American way.

And many Americans envy other countries for traits they have that the US lacks. What's the relevance?
Yea, I was surprised. He had them in boxes that were clearly shipped from Best Buy. I asked if he got them cheaper and he said no. Didn't ask why he was selling them at cost, but I thought it was nice.

4k is more than resolution too, has more colors that can't be shown in regular RGB formats.
sde-year, dev-year, engineer-year, resource-year, employee-year, are all variants I've heard before.

So no documented c++ library to bind other languages through? server side needs to be node.js?
when you have ADHD these types of rules are really helpful. some people might find them weird and say "just change your schedule, do it later, whatever", but I know if I postpone it I'll forget it or screw up doing some other chore or a "previously allocated free-time".
This whole industry-wide proactive campaign against misinformation since 2016 has been a disaster. COVID has helped amplified the flaws. The fact this was going to cause an endless amount of false positives negating the wider value proposition should have been obvious since day one.

The worst acts by powerful organizations are almost always done under the guise of 'helping people'. Nobody oppresses you for the sake of oppression. They'll do it under the banner of some good intentions.

Google shows why merely collecting the smartest minds from around the world in one place is not good enough on its own. They need proper leadership and strong values to guide them ... two things Google has long lacked.

These slowly grow brighter over time to try to wake you like natural light would, rather than using sound.

I upgraded to a 3600X. I use an 8th gen 6 core chip at work. This 3600X murders the Intel daily. The speed is insane. At work I run off an SSD with Optane acceleration, my home machines with the 3600X and NVME just kills my work machine, which itself is no slouch. I've never been so impressed with a brand new machine, and I've been building them since 1990.
Almost exactly the same experience here with me Vs my wife with children. She needs at least one or two significant maps and an early bedtime or she simply just cannot function, but I seem to be able to handle it a bit better.

I wonder if it is a gender thing, or a coincidence?
Axios/got faceoff: uploading a file to Amazon WorkDocs using S3 pre-signed url
Hmm, sounds like you've got some dyfunctional managers. I've never personally witnessed management faking urgency on a project just to get productivity on it. Management is generally charged with making sure ICs know what the priorities are as set by Product. It's possible that Product changes its mind often, confusing everyone. But if Product, Management, and ICs are confused about what your "critical business functions" are, I think you've got some systemic leadership problems.

Launched: Ona – an online marketplace for elderly care services
Hey everyone, I'm excited to announce the launch of Ona!

This project is a result of many years working in the home care industry and learning about how problems facing the elderly population can be solved with technology.

The number of elderly individuals is growing rapidly – by 2030 all Baby Boomers will be over the age of 65. This means that 1 in 5 individuals in the U.S. will be of retirement age.

We built Ona as a scalable solution to meeting the surge in demand for home care services set to occur within the next few decades.

Some of our key features include:

- Localized search for nearby caregivers that fit your schedule/care needs
- Shared calendars with caregivers that allow you to coordinate schedules
- Payment tracking that adjusts invoices/payments according to scheduling needs

We're eager to hear any comments/feedback from you all!
Well I think that's one of the benefits of microservices actually.

Cut out all the services that have deep tribal knowledge from people let go and replace them with new services if the service is actually important or just remove it altogether.
It's not exactly what you asked for but there is the Amazon Appstore which can be installed on any Android device. It has paid apps/in-app purchases/subscriptions support.
The only text the front page displays is "The #1 app for runners and cyclists", on top of a screenshot and registration dividing the screen in two. Might be A/B testing going on.
We gained 2k newsletter subscribers in 48 hours
Yeah, that's exactly what I noticed. I mean I could make do with it because I could switch it over to the map to see, but it's kind of nice to not have to do that.

Also, went on a long ride which ended up longer 10 days ago because the Strava one routed me onto some motorcycle trails on my gravel bike. I should have double checked, and I got to see a lava cave, so it was all good, but I'm going to stick with Ride With GPS for now.
I believe learning requires good sleep. TFA's experiment did not measure learning capacity.
At Ryzen's launch mobo vendors weren't investing a lot into the platform because they were largely burned by previous AMD generations that failed to compete with Intel.

It wasn't until Ryzen 2000 / 3000 in particular that board vendors took the AMD stack seriously again.

I remember at release getting ram working on Zen 1 was a nightmare. Nowadays you can throw almost any stick to 3733mhz on Zen 2 no problem.
Point of this thread is new battery tech arriving soon, and hints during CT unveiling were it would be the first Tesla vehicle using the new tech. Notice the new “Gigafactory” will double as CT manufacturing, and Elon has referenced new batteries well before any of this.

When you move into how people feel are we introducing inequality? People feel at different rates. Some can go into a rage in an instant while others can be a rock. Are we rewarding the primate brain over scientific obvervations when we choose to accept personal feeling as the gold standard? Should we be encouraging one over the other?
