I don't think this is an entirely fair comparison. I thinks it's closer to the Post Office being worried about finding enough new drivers for their mail routes, but refusing to upgrade any of their delivery trucks from a manual transmission to an automatic one.

Sure, you can argue that learning to drive a standard isn't that hard, and if you want to do a valuable public service like delivering mail, then learning to drive one is a small price to pay. But it's a barrier to entry for most young drivers because automatic transmissions are far, far more common. Besides, not only is the constant starting/stopping like a mail truck does usually hardest part of driving a manual, but isn't even fundamentally coupled to the act of delivering mail.

There's plenty of competent drivers who might be willing to deliver mail using an automatic (or developers to maintain the kernel on a platform with a decent UX), and that kind of process overhead isn't something that should just be waved away.

A Star Has Seemingly Vanished from Space with No Explanation
The guidance does state ‘should’ rather than ‘must’ - I have amended my comment to make it clear that it’s a recommendation (alongside lots of other recommendations in the same guidance document)

Enforcement and policing of this is presently unclear (and will likely be delegated to local environmental health and licensing authorities, from what I’ve read - so may be inconsistent across the country).

I suppose if an outbreak is linked to a venue that hasn’t implemented the recommendations it will (at best) reflect badly, and at worst attract attention from the local authority in the same way as if other recommended public health measures were not implemented.
I agree with you. It'd take a huge company with tons of resources at its disposal to do something like this if it's possible at all. But if anyone could hire and train the army necessary to do it, it'd be google or facebook. (Apple already does it. Apple News is edited by real apple-employed humans but its far smaller in scope).

I think real solutions are gonna require us to break out of our tech-focused approaches and find ways to get Google, Facebook, Twitter to really start to care about fixing this stuff. Unfortunately I think that means it'll have to start costing them.
I was excited until I saw it was tape.
Drives will probably be thousands or tens of thousands of dollars and then the individual tapes would probably be in the hundreds or more. Since this tech is almost exclusively sold to enterprises and priced accordingly.
there was a huge patent fight that delayed the production of LTO8 tapes for quite some time, when they finally released they commanded a huge premium, they are still inflated in price compared to LTO7 tapes per GB.

That in fact doesn't work even in the case of actual stealing, otherwise we are forced to conclude that the target market for luxury cars includes teenage kids who hot-wire them and take them for joyrides.
I wanted to like Lua and Love2D, but struggled with writing code quickly because there's no editor autocompletion that I know of, so I spent a lot of time having to reference the docs. Do others just use it enough that they know the API by heart now?
> Writing your own code is not "reinventing the wheel". It's what we do. A lot of times writing a new implementation is faster in the long run (more focused, less obscure, easier to maintain).

So much agreement. We often will rewrite smaller sets functions or other code for the express purposes of trimming dependencies, understanding what the code does, and having the opportunity to adopt it into our codebase with a fresh re-look at implementation, adding comments, etc.

> Open source code is often not "battle tested" in your environment for your use case. And if there is a problem, getting it fixed can be a nightmare.

Again. Agree with you strongly. Just because something as been available in npm does not automatically mean battle tested. There's a ton of broken/poor code out there.
There is also the auto-tab discard Extension.
Which reportedly uses Native API better. I've seen that compared to other tab suspenders it does keep tabs sticky between sessions. However, I'm not a fan of it's auto-foreground on clicking a tab behavior. I think, The Great Suspender Extension on Chrome handles this better.

I'm surprised to see a 2020 article talk about Promises without async/await. It sounds like the author just learned about Promises. That's fine, but I'd rather not take advice on JavaScript from someone who's just discovering them.

Honestly, I don't really see the value over any other tools (Jira, Trello, Asana, Monday, etc).

Sure they have a command palette and the UI is pretty fast (like Trello) which is nice but you still need too many clicks/keyboard shortcuts for simple tasks like adding 2+ issues.

Their Slack integration is also non existent. You can't create issues based on a conversation for example.

So overall, I will keep using it but will probably not evangelized it or bring it with me to another company.
Well, this effectively what Apple is trying to make now.

Unlike Apple, North's optics is so much simpler.
For emulation of x86.. that's not too shabby at all seeing as the Surface Pro X emulation is a much harder hit. Keep in mind that the iPad result is based on use of 8 total asymmetric cores, which is kind-of an issue for apps like these so it only uses the 4 high-power cores.

In either case, this system in emulated state will out-perform a number of laptops they have sold like the 12 inch MacBook, with emulation. Thats impressive. The Rumored machines they will ship add two more high performance cores and likely eat way more power. I wouldn't be shocked to see it be as fast as current macs in emulation.

Getting to the Bottom of Noether’s Theorem
I'm looking at what a workstation class machine likely should be, I guess. All things being equal, I'd love there to be no (realistic) upper limit on memory. ECC should have been supported by threadripper too, IMHO. I've only got a 128G on my workstation and already considering filling that extra four slots. 64-512G is likely pretty normal memory space for a workstation class machine.

My complaint is the testing methodology. Server vs server is a different problem/requirements. They compared a workstation and then built a workstation with memory requirements that were more common to a server class machine. I suspect a cheaper 'non-server' CPU, with a memory footprint that was more typical for a workstation load, a cheaper option would have held up. One of the likely reasons they gimped the threadripper was to ensure it did not compete with the epic product line.

As for the questions: no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and no. :)
A different take -- drugs. Especially marijuana and hallucinogens. Helped me better understand how to think about abstract computations vs the nitty gritty details like pointers. Not for everyone, but helped me.
This is also kind of silly; the average person doesn't walk 100 miles (say, a week). Extrapolating relative walking safety from 100ft of darting from your office building, across the street, to your lunch spot, out to 100 miles is not actually the same thing as (say) commuting by foot 5 miles each way for 10 days (where the per-step risk profile is probably a lot lower than the numbers we're extrapolating from).

It's interesting you mention graphics cards because that very behavior has lead to the gaming community favoring benchmarks derived from a handful of current gen games min/max/avg FPS over so called synthetic benchmarks.

Been using Firefox daily as my development browser for the last 6 months. Started as an experiment, but stayed because I liked it.

The only thing I noticed is that sometimes Chrome's errors in the console are slightly better. I prefer Firefox's HTML/CSS panels, and the CSS Grid/Flex support is generally better. As anything, this comment is a point-of-time comment, they are both iterating rapidly, and when one adds something people like, the other usually pushes it in also.

SYCL 2020 Is Here
I was a JIRA admin for a number of years for an organization that had a heavy QA workflow. It was all about making sure that every issue had an "owner," at any given time, a strict approval and verification process was followed, and that as much up-front data as possible was collected during the initial report.

In my experience, unless the people entering the issues are paid, professional engineers, we'll never get the information we need up front.

I have found that the basic GitHub model works well for me.

When someone reports a bug, they are doing me a favor. It's in my interest to ensure there are as few roadblocks as possible to them sending a report. If they give contact info, then I can contact them with specific questions.

In my experience, a simple email form is the best way to solicit reports. It may have a workflow hidden behind it, but I have found that the simpler the workflow is, the more likely it is that the issue tracking will work.

JIRA basically starts off complicated, and it's possible to make it much, much worse.

It's also slow, but that wasn't really the problem we had. The workflows and forms were where it fell down for us.
I checked out my city and state on here. The vast majority of the incidents listed are not even close to police brutality. This is clearly put together by someone that has an agenda and doesn't know what they are talking about. Unfortunately this is junk.

Ask HN: How do you escape a manager who is holding you back?
Little bit of background info:

I'm on a tech team for what is essentially a large but not really tech-focused company. As such, I report up through a non tech department.

My position was created for me by an exec who no longer works there, and a while ago I was moved into this dept without knowing. (I saw the change in the employee directory.) Shortly after, my current manager was put in charge of me, and started hiring more people with similar job titles -- though with far less experience.

I've asked multiple times what my role is supposed to be -- both how he sees my day-to-day, and how I fit into the larger company, and have never gotten a direct answer. He has micromanaged and slowed down projects -- in fact, the biggest wins we've had is when I've gone rogue and just built things -- the latest, to help other depts work from home during quarantine, is now being highlighted in a presentation to our corporate parent, and he had told me not to bother. (I obviously did it, anyway.) Of course, he's being hailed as a visionary because of it.

So my question, HN -- short of quitting, which I would rather not do -- how do I get out from under this manager? There are not any similar roles that I know of in the company -- I just want to get a different manager....
Well, there are several such:

Though even skydiving has a very different time/risk profile than, say, mountain climbing (however you care to define). If skydiving time is measured only by time from leaving the plane to hitting the ground, you're measuring a fatality rate against a pretty short interval of time. (Same with scuba diving.)

Whereas other activities that may have similar risk profiles for typical "active participants" may have much different rates relative to the time spent actively participating in the activity.

There's no single metric that really represents a correct view.

Is it true that all US judges are either elected or politically appointed? Both seem like a terrible idea.

I care. I don't want an exponential growth in dependencies each time I use a top level library. 1314 packages is crazy for a small set of web components.

How could one ever read/review 1314 libs to have a passing familiarity of the deps one just took on? Oh you just npm install and DON'T look through what you got. That, friend, is scary. If that's the case I'd invest in some packet capture training :) if I were you.

Right, alptail is not an npm package. Clone the repo then npm install to see the tree of pain grow itself.

Not picking on alptail here. Just my most recent WTF experience with getting way more deps than seems reasonable, by a mile.
Sure, but for retrieving data from sites without executing JS it is pretty useful.
Devil's Advocate: Look at a Youtube video of any country where they don't enforce traffic laws. It's chaotic and unsafe. Fear of consequences is the only thing that keeps people somewhat sane on the road, the alternative is chaos or literally having police every quarter mile looking for infractions. Until we have self-driving cars, it's beneficial for society and everyone who has to drive for traffic violations to be punished harshly after a certain threshold.

Devil's Advocate 2: Single motherhood shouldn't entitle you to ignore traffic laws. If anything, if you get more traffic violations, you are more likely unsafe for your children (who have no one else to depend on), so maybe they should be taken away (foster care being worse is a separate issue)

Right now, you're right. But look at how definitions are changing.

When I grew up, I was taught that the goal in life was to be colorblind. Race didn't matter, what mattered was what was in one's heart.

Today, I'm considered a racist for these views. The term "racist" has been victim to this definition expansion too. Where it used to be considered "discrimination due to race," it has expanded to mean "discrimination by a majority group against a minority race," a definition that unnervingly doesn't consider hate speech against white people as racist.

At this rate, the definition of "far-right" will expand to the point where anyone not supporting the narrative of the day will be labeled as such. Just like how people were labeled "communist" in the 50's as a way to leverage power over others. It's modern-day McCarthyism, but what is different is that this modern-day McCarthyism is being applied to all the major social media platforms months before an election. The control they're trying to leverage over everyone is stunning.
Well organized and useful resource.

Surely you notice those two points conflict?

1. The judge must understand that the (justice) system is flawed, it's his/her job to bring about justice anyway.

2. The judge must believe the (foster care) system is flawless, it's not his/her job to worry about that.
What? US cars are widely seen as relatively shitty compared to Asian and EU brands.
Slightly OT thought, but related to ticket tracking systems and the idea of reduced backlogs:

As we move more and more towards ubiquitous "Product Orgs," separate from engineering, I think we're seeing backlogs just explode in size at most places. People need to realize that a large engineering backlog has a lot of negative effects on the SDLC (& velocity) as a whole. I wish more people would embrace heavy-handed WIP limits, even for backlog.

But, since backlog is now the primary output of "product orgs" at many (less-than-great) companies, you now have an entire org whose jobs depend on not learning that lesson.

I don't know what the answer is, but I really am starting to hate this entire "product org" concept in general. It feels like we used to be able to just engineer our way around many of these challenges ("here, look what I built last week to justify my case"), or just get people into a room and talking. But once the decision channels become explicitly siloed off into a separate org with C-Suite-level autonomy, I'm not sure how you effectively bridge the gaps that form.

Any engineers who feel like having a separate product org has been a benefit to your company's product quality and delivery speed want to comment on how you see this sort of thing working effectively?
