How do you think?

I feel like step 1 is helping people care enough to slow down and understand what it is to be able to identify it in themselves, their networks and their organizations.

This short video does a good job of illustrating how it piles up over time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrHIQIO_bdQ

I look at the amazing team I'm surrounded by that is largely void of people of color and think about our hiring practices, our exposure to communities outside of the majority and our customer base as well and see the direct and indirect ripples of systemic racism.

Nice tool very useful for now days.
> Product) managers decide what to build. Engineers decide how to build it.

That’s not how software is done though.

Product managers are in a constant negotiation with engineers to decide what to do. There is a lot of back and forth and exchanges to arrive to a set of stuff that can then be built.

That’s what the agile routine is about.
As an example, Finland has a population of 5.5M, US has a population of 328M. If you would outsource 10.000 coding jobs to Finland, it would equal outsourcing 10.000 coding jobs to Minnesota. So it does not make sense to compare country vs. country.

If you outsource talent pool from Finland, the cost is not so much different on paying salary in US.

I do think, that in future it is the norm to have a remote community in all companies to control cost and to access best talent. It will be an accepted fact that people are paid differently based by location.
Maybe the problem is that cars can't be compared to household appliances when it comes to consumer behavior. Spending more for an appliance that you believe will last longer and be more powerful then a cheaper variation might feel like a smart buy. There are so many more variables when buying a car however.
This looks awesome! will be waiting for the launch.

Ask HN: Examples of languages with first-class schema migration support?
Context: I'm familiar with schema migration tools like Alembic[1] and Mongo.Migration[2] for schemaful and schemaless datasets.

It seems to me that data migration remains a challenge partly due to edge cases that are difficult to handle without tight integration between programming language and datastore.

For example:

- Some migration operations may involve complex logic and potentially queries against other objects

- Migration implementations for a given object type have to be available at runtime until all objects of that type have been upgraded

- For large datasets, it may be desirable to control the rate at which migrations are applied, and potentially to allow rollback in the case of unanticipated load or failures

Most approaches I've seen attempt to solve the problem via revision-controlled scripts, and rely on careful co-ordination of development and deployment.

Can anyone share examples of programming languages that have attempted to add 'native' support for data migrations?

I have found Webflow to be incredibly useful in doing this - the various templates for different use-cases (Blog, E-Com Store etc) was quite simple to quickly setup and get something off ground.

On either side of the spectrum, many people associate with a particular brand of politics as part of their identity. Political strategists are smart, and quite literally divvy up these groups and build a coalition in a process called “tent building”.

Now, I’ve met and talked with plenty of folk who confuse their identity with their political party. Definitely happens on both sides - as I saw growing up in Oklahoma, and now see in the Bay Area.

The point is, people feel (not wrongfully) uncomfortable when their identity is “threatened” by people who represent themselves with a brand of politics that is oppositional to the one that markets to them.

Now I’ve found that when you share your beliefs, and they aren’t founded on identity politics, then it can ease up the feelings of threat and opposition you’re sure to face.

Alternatively, don’t talk about politics - the simpler method. Having always been a bit of a political outsider, I learned early on that proselytizing others is both counterproductive and alienating.
> the Canon EOS 4000D can only do 3 fps, and only has a buffer of 6 frames.

If you're going to use a single camera as your example for the industry, I don't think that's fair. Canon makes great cameras, but my Nikon V1, circa 2011, is a camera "serious photographers" like to laugh at, and and outperforms your example. It was 5fps with a mechanical shutter, up to 60fps with the electronic shutter.

At the time, some people used the 30fps burst to make 4K video clips: https://vimeo.com/61441075

And FWIW, I used a command line tool to do image stacking to reduce sensor noise on my Nikon 1 cameras years ago. That was until I started using DxO, which does an adequate job of sensor noise reduction on a single RAW shot without as much work.

Also, the DSLRs I used more than 10 years ago (Sony Alphas) were able to do 5fps, but back then, nobody really took you seriously as a photographer if you used a Sony.
> go through a regulatory gauntlet

A lot of people like to point to regulations and licensing as a source of inefficiency, but in reality the lack of any sort of professional licensing around programming drives all sorts of alternate inefficiency: with no objective standard to measure applicants against, employers are stuck trying to make up their own, usually broken standards.
> For example, my mother would complain about my travel photos that didn't contain people, or would look for things like whether the people looked happy. She couldn't care less about the rule of thirds, bokeh or dramatic lighting.

Heh, this is one thing I regret about my past photos — I have plenty of travel photos, but very few with myself in them.

And while I know my composition and lighting fundamentals, my photos will rarely be on par with someone with the luxury to wait for the right moment, or something from a postcard or the best of Flickr or 500px.
Yes, net neutrality was for Internet providers to just be some kind of pipes that don't prioritize some websites over others. I think a platform like Facebook is a bit like that on a higher level. It's about information distribution, not about being an editor of contents.
I would advise the up to date version though.

SmsMatrix works decently well. However it does not support MMS messages (group messages or pictures).
No racism at our company. Neverthless we have well-structured independent channels to addresss systematic issues and biases when they emerge which fortunately do not require protesting. The personnel holding the position of these channels rotate after a fixed time so that they do not become authoritative or fascist.
Absolutely not. Offshore labor is worth objectively less because of different people who are in the game there. Market is absurdly efficient, there is no arbitrage. Some kinds of work is better outsourced - repeatable maintenance work, some better done locally such as product development.
Or for more than one reason.
Apologies, I was answering in the context of an alternative to North American dominance in the CPU industry rather than European equivalents.

But I didn't realise Softbank had sold on their $31bn stake. The BBC article states a $8bn chunk went to a Saudi-backed investment group, and the other sale was the majority stake of only ARM's Chinese subsidiary (worth $775.2m). From that it doesn't seem accurate to say ARM is now predominantly Chinese but maybe there are some other deals I also missed. To be honest, I lost interest once they sold to Softbank - 'in the country's interests' ha!
Let's assume that you're genuinely interested in having a conversation, not just shifting the definition to fit your argument, and I will give it another go: Most subcultures regardless of the generation (e.g. punk, metal, emo) use "weirdness" to distinguish themselves (with music, fashion, looks) in order to distance themselves from the mainstream and are often considered cool as a result of that.

To my knowledge - as an US immigrant, who has worked both in India and US - decisions everywhere are made by Managers (Non-Developer Ones) and Executives - they have weird power dynamics that they need to see their subordinates physically to ascertain their power or influence in the company...thats it - that is what is stopping every programmer being remote

If they don't sell the actual laptops with all features working on a vanilla debian install, this amounts to nothing.

Besides, most linux-related announcements by Lenovo are false. They have announced several times in the last years, with much fanfare, that they were going to sell laptops with linux pre-installed. This has not been the case.
Right

Restaurants are typically swamped in the massive overhead of running an actual restaurant, and are not fully up to date with every latest bit of marketing toolkit.

Because they are not fully up to date on the latest digital marketing, you think it is justified that they be subject to what is effectively hoards of VC-backed extortionists - nice restaruant you got there... be a shame if some bad reviews got highlighted ... or here, we'll just hijack your phone listings and take care of delivery for you...

At least the mafiosi would occasionally eat at the restaurants on whom they were running protection rackets...

The Due diligence is required because of these new hordes of extortionists, not the restaurants (and no, it isn't all about your trivial convenience, OMG, they want you to call and don't have the latest web technology up for every function... nevermind the quality of the food, ambiance, or service, it's all about whether you can order it through an app, isn't it?)

The way this offers a grid without using any CSS classes based on nesting section elements is really neat - very clever trick.
I've had mixed experiences in this regard.

Thinkpads from the T and X series (don't know about Yoga, P or L) are really great, usually work out of the box and if there is broken hardware you are visited tomorrow by a nice guy from IBM (yes, really!) who fixes things without complaining about the weird OS you are running (of course you should be able to test that the new component works somehow).

Non-Thinkpad laptops from Lenovo are worse at running with Linux and the hardware support seems to be far worse, send it in, wait a few weeks, no solution.

Note that other vendors are very similar: there is a big difference between the "for professional business use" and "for home use" lines, in prices as well as support for software and support if broken.

> England has a public policy that people drive on the left. America has a public policy that people drive on the right.

Neither of these policies were imposed by government. They were conventions that naturally evolved without any top-level policy being dictated, because they are obvious ways of solving an obvious coordination problem about using roads, and only got codified in law after that natural process of evolution had taken place.

> in general you should only need the preponderance of evidence to suggest that a public policy change will do more good than harm in order to adopt it

Even this standard, while it is weaker than the one I have suggested for what is needed to dictate public policy to everyone, is still strong enough to exclude many public policies that are currently in force, or suggested.
This seems like it has a anti engineering bias written by a product manager who views himself as visionary and others as less. As if to say miscommunication is one sided. Nevermind the business over expecting and over selling, under paying, changing its mind radically, not respecting recommendations and just in general shitting on engineers.

Civil-Rights Leaders ‘Stunned’ After Trying to Explain Racism to Mark Zuckerberg
Resolution only matters for super duper digital zoom for super large prints.
An 18MP phone cam is worse than a 2MP DSLR. Resolution is useless if the lens can't put the right light on each pixel.

For a bad photographer, a good camera makes a huge difference. It has focal length/bokeh, dynamic range, shutter speed, and more to "get" a good shot that a phonecam can't.
I live in an affluent community. Many of my neighbors are police officers. When I read that an officer in the city had been shot, I worried for the people I know. I don't condone violent protests.

But I feel compelled to object to your seeming attitude that things would work themselves out without the need to protest.

I strongly believe that two wrongs don't make a right. But one wrong observed in silence is tragic.

You question the reason for protest when there is some bill being introduced. I posit that the bill would not exist without the protests. I also remind you that a horrible, terrible war was fought to end inequality over 150 years ago. I remind you that the civil rights movement was more than 50 years ago. Why protest when those already solved all the problems?

We must always be willing to step up against injustice. It is not a one and done proposition.

This in no way excuses people who are just taking the opportunity to steal a TV. Or who mistakenly channel their emotions by destroying or injuring.
With all of the talk about companies going remote lately, I worry that the logical next step to this might be management saying "well, we are already hiring remote developers, why don't we just outsource to cheaper countries while we're at it?".

Sure, they tried and failed at this in the 90's and early 2000's but heck, people forget quickly.

One of the things that I like about working in an office is that the non-engineers see me there and get a better appreciation of what I do.

Yes. And how to build it. I worked with a brilliant but rather lazy contractor once. His code was unmaintainable despite him being obviously competent. His rationale was very explicitly that maintainable code doesn't make for good job-security. You don't want to be held hostage by your own code.

There is allot more to building software than writing code. Those other parts are harder to outsource. At my company, the jobs that are 100% coding are 90% offshore. But the jobs that are 0%-50% coding are 90% in the US.

A DDOS is an attack because it removes resources. Other people having opinions that disagree with yours isn't removing resources from you.

Whether it's newspapers or a town square, there have always been people who have been loud. Loud does not mean right. It also doesn't mean you need to muzzle the people who are loud.
But you have to keep in mind that a LOT of people still have to mask in order to fit in; change their accents, what they wear, etc. You could consider them social contracts, like don't wear a three-piece suit to a 24-hour hackathon, but they can also be oppressive.

You mention that you can be openly gay today, but this is not true; SOME areas MAY be safe, but in others you may get sucker punched or worse.

Black parents have to tell their kids to change how they speak in order to fit in, to have a better chance at getting a job.

And kids will still get bullied for being outliers, it's just that what you get bullied for and how that expresses itself has changed; "nerdy" subjects like gaming have become more accepted, so the outliers now are those that don't like Fortnite. And the bullying is moving to the internet.
Another aspect of culture: how one-sided the communication is.

Silicon Valley and Scandinavian cultures are very flat, so it is possible for "the man on the floor" to tell management that it doesn't work to put diesel into a gasoline car.

In authoritarian cultures this would be a mistake as it's seen as embarrassing the management by saying they made a mistake. If you want to continue being employed then it is much better to pretend there is no problem.

Catching problems early saves a lot of money in software development, so a non-authoritarian culture can save a lot of time and thus have a lot higher wage.
How did they manage to make it so expensive per car?!
Imagine a world where everyone only enforces laws onto others when it actually affects themself.

Engineering is super cheap! If you go to the grocery store to buy beer, one beer cost $1, another $5 and it taste slightly better you get the one for $5 then if you go to a restaurant, you pay $10 for the same beer. If you go into a restaurant and they ask $30 for the beer, that's expensive, but still you wont leave. Now if they did charge $300 for one beer you would walk out and buy it from Asia.
Don't know if age or success is the reason people stop giving a fuck.

This remind me of the recent Microsoft AI that can write code demo.

You give the AI instruction and explanation in English, preferably as clear and as detailed as possible and you get back code.

Or do they have some sort of E2EE backdoor (probably, since they manage the keys), that they want to selectively apply, but can't do so if people are constantly using burner accounts, and thus want E2EE users to be somewhat anchored to their payment information?

There's also the factor of "The best camera is the one you actually have with you". If you have a fantastic camera sitting at home when a photo opportunity arises, it isn't much use. A mobile phone camera is often the best camera because of this.
I work with teams around the world - it's a real challenge, as there's no single time that everyone is online. Should run that analysis by time zone + education. Also, software development is not as fungible as you might think.

Mezz Mezzrow was a Jewish C-list Jazz clarinetist from Chicago that was active during the depression.

He was also a successful marijuana dealer to the Jazz community. He married a black woman, moved to Harlem, and called himself a "voluntary Negro." When he was arrested at the Worlds Fair (60 marijuana cigarettes with intent to distribute) he convinced the cops he was black and thus was housed with black prisoners.

He was good friends with Louis Armstrong and has such a cult status among Jazz fans that there's a NYC Jazz Club named in his honor.

As Dylan wrote "To live outside the law, you must be honest." Especially so when conformity was life-threatening.

You'll get better photos by taking candids than posing portraits everywhere though.
