Any sort of HCI or design stuff was absent from my CS education, and it seems to be one of the bigger gaps I see with engineers: not many people will try to have someone actually use their software after creating it, and there's a ton you can learn by seeing how people fail to effectively navigate your UX or try to use it for something they wanted but wasn't originally scoped.

I got that through years of providing helpdesk service to end-users, and it's staggering how much UX kludginess gets into production that would have seemingly been caught by watching 1-2 people (other than the software authors) actually try to use it.

Those responsibilities are ostensibly handled by other business units, but that either doesn't actually happen in startups (what's a design team? we don't have one!) or would be smoothed by the engineering side having a basic foundation of the concepts involved, enough to understand the rationale behind UX stuff and challenge bad design before it gets in front of users.

Good idea, never thought of using Firefox container tabs. May be able to do a similar thing with Chrome profiles.
Cask is a sub-genre in the UK as well, limping along with a hyper-nationalist identity. Dude is feigning ignorance.
No doubt that RPi has been a game changer, but I can never convince myself to build a light file/media server with a Pi. Do I really want to spend $100+ buying a Pi and accessories, or should I just spend $300 on a Synology... which actually has an NVMe slot.
OK second largest. It makes them a formidable interlocutor in negotiations, and the power imbalance means things will inevitably be decided in Berlin which impact the UK on regulations, trade, tariffs and FOM. The UK has little leverage and power in this relationship.
This is V1 and it is pretty good. Maybe they can address those concerns in V2?

Yes, but at least when they do that they don't have to fundamentally break crypto. Not that it's OK. I'm just saying.

Of course everyone wants those bad people stopped. But every law that claims to be "to stop the bad people and save the children" end up not actually getting used to that end, but instead to further harm the people. They all have far more collateral damage.

I used to investigate computer crime. You know what would have made my job really easy? Unlimited access to all computers worldwide.

Luckily I had to learn alternative investigative methods because we value privacy more than we value catching criminals, which is a good thing. I'd rather a criminal go free once in a while than a complete loss of privacy.
I don't know. But I do know that it's not a technology problem.
Bait and switch would only apply if the app claimed to be "free" instead of "free trial", or if the "trial" part was obfuscated.

I see this too in Facebook's moderation of groups. I've seen gayrights groups get shut down for a discussion of homophobia among lgbt people, meanwhile far right groups have posts like "so when are we going to put nword in camps?" and are uploading just outright full hardcore pornography and are fine.
Is it me or does the design for the "Hoplite Armor"[1] look like the hong kong flag[2]? I did some digging and it looks even closer to the variant that the hong kong protesters are using[3]. Why would "anti-government extremists" (as described by the article) in America use this design?

Talking to a Chinese friend who is quite pro-CCP, they are pissed that UK is offering this and say that mass emigration of HKers would be a major loss of face for the CCP.
Oh, totally! There's a reason that such mobility aids are so expensive. My point was that things like the "Not a Wheelchair" can be cheap because they aren't used full-time, the same as for the Air Hawk.

There's a lot of people that use wheelchairs for part-time use. When I was considering getting one, I could walk a couple minutes but couldn't go farther without injuring myself further. Having something cheap that could get me some freedom back would have been worth it, even if it's not perfect.

I started drinking in the mid-2000s. This was around when the American craft brew scene was really taking over the nation, but the jokes all my European colleagues told were about how American beer is piss-water. Imagine my surprise when I went to Europe, this fabled land of "real beer", and found that they had at most one or two taps at the bar, and asked if I wanted "dark" or "light". No brand names, no styles, no variety. Just a perfectly adequate, ho-hum ale, pint after pint. This is better than our huge, burgeoning, incredibly active and creative craft beer scene?

It seems like the "American piss-water" jokes have finally subsided today, but for a good decade there, I was real defensive about the American beer scene :)

[*] Note: This is a friendly, lighthearted anecdote about my personal experience 15 years ago. Please take it in the spirit it is intended. I miss you, Europe.
Are there legal implications to Google bots transacting with websites under false pretenses?

I mean their normal web crawler identifies itself as such. Here, I feel like they're committing (very) minor fraud by putting in fake shopper information and actively hiding their identity. Not a big deal if it were just some Joe Schmoe somewhere, but at their scale might it border on harassment? The robot equivalent of a prank call?
I wasn't so much using it as a proxy term for growth, but rather as a direct description of work culture.

I've worked and consulted at a variety of companies. Of the ones that had an expectation that you do 1-2 year stints on teams, then rotate to different teams and challenges, I would describe ~100% as having a healthy workplace political culture.

Of the ones that did not have that expectation, and people typically stayed on a single team for 2 years+, I would describe ~25% as having a healthy workplace political culture.

My conclusion is that, more-so than anything else, cultivating and encouraging regular internal transfers produces healthier companies. (And that's not even broaching the documentation and repeatability benefits!)

It seems counter-intuitive, and I never would have guessed if I hadn't seen it again and again...

I'm not sure what the point of is of bringing up how Lee was treated at the end of the civil war. It's hard to say how handling things different at that time would have actually gone.
FGM is horrible, but citing that there are victims doesn't actually mean that it is becoming something established, which was the arguement. We've done an abysmal job at stopping it worldwide, which is the real upwards battle. Again, though, it doesn't mean that it is becoming established in new places.

Same thing with your second link. First generation South Asian mothers in Canada... doesn't exactly mean that sex-selective abortion is 'becoming' widespread in Canada. It simply means that a minority of overall Canadians might do this, and it is higher in a certain subgroup. I honestly don't care about reasons for abortion, as it falls clearly in "none of my freaking business" and would rather simply keep it legal so that folks don't turn to unsafe practices. Again, though, the solution to 'fix' the issue (sexual equality in children) is really to fix it globally instead of targeting a minority in one country. Of course, this is widespread social uplift sorts of things.

Hiring discrimination is entrenched in culture - this is not the only marker for it. Again, there is no need to point out one minority for the practice when it is widespread other places. 'Western values' supports systematic racism and until recently, outright discrimination.

The experience in Sweden is that keeping schools open did not cause any problems. The main risk groups in Sweden are elderly (particularly those in care homes) and immigrants.

Since school is compulsory in Sweden, and homeschooling is illegal there, there is concern by some parents who would likely not do well if they got covid. They do not want to risk sending their kids in, but they have no choice.

In the US, homeschooling and other options exist.

Desired Role: Senior Software Engineer

I have 6 years of experience developing high-traffic, full-stack web applications. I've built everything from social media app backends to very complex dashboards to mobile-first Progressive Web Apps to web-based, event-driven games. I've also designed and deployed large, distributed, and scalable cloud infrastructures. I've often had full ownership of these projects, with junior developers underwing. I've planned milestones, set and met deadlines, and empowered my colleagues to deliver their best. I strongly enjoy teaching others and helping my teams work together to meet ambitious goals.

I have a solid grasp of software engineering fundamentals and system design. I believe in clean and simple solutions. I prefer readable, consistent, and testable code over clever code. I'm motivated to exceed requirements and have an end result that is both performant and provides a superior user experience.

I'm looking to work for a company that has a strong culture around communication, iteration, and collaboration. I want to solve hard problems, learn new things, and be passionate about what I'm building. I prefer to take ownership of large features and the responsibility that comes with it.
I'm really getting tired of the IPA fad. I loved IPAs when they were a niche product and you could sample most of them in a reasonable time span. Now they're 90% of the shelf space and other deserving varieties are hard to find. Most of the newcomers are poorly executed hacks that follow the simplistic formula: IPA == bitter hops, therefore let's overload on hops. I won't drink any IPA that wasn't around 10 years ago just to filter out the garbage.
Interesting. So some people in Hawaiian shirts are fomenting unrest and trying to bring about a second civil war, whilst some other people in much more sober clothing are fighting for righteousness and justice by smashing up neighbourhoods and businesses and forcibly occupying parts of a major city.
They might be able to sell a roll cage as an add-on. Probably most people won't need that but might be good for some. It looks like the frame would be simple to mount to.
it's not normal. a previous IPO i was part of settled RSUs on the same day the lockout ended. friends who have been part of other IPOs the same. i've never heard of any company doing it how Uber did.
At 130nm, you could fit at least a couple of 68k’s worth of logic in a square millimetre of silicon.
The limitation is you can’t fit that many IO pin connections on a chip so small (pad limited). You might as well chuck in the rest of the Amiga while you are there!
Synthetic Minds (YC S18) | REMOTE (for the moment) | $125k-$180k | 6th engineer/designer | All engineering team

Synthetic Minds is building program synthesizers, i.e., automation that can write code. We have a working prototype in stealth and are currently in the process of doing user studies.

Our hiring needs over the next month are:

- Full stack / frontend engineer

- Generalist

- Passively looking: UI/UX designer and Product Manager

Details on positions we are actively hiring for are on: https://www.workatastartup.com/companies/1873

All these people will get exposed to a bleeding-edge program synthesis stack, so there is opportunity for significant technical learning. We are an all engineering team (including 3 PhDs and 2 ex-Googlers) backed by YC, Khosla, and Pantera. This is my 2nd YC startup. Our team of 5 is in Seattle + SF, and if you are remote, we'd prefer the US to maximize time-zone overlap.

It's not, because lynching and cancelling aren't remotely equivalent.
But "public education" refers to state run/funded schools :)

Also in the UK the "Public Sector" is government organisations.

The "private sector" is for-profit/comercial organisations, many of which are publicly traded comapanies, which is normally shortened to simply "public companies". So you could be a public company in the private sector that provides services to a public school, which is part of the private education sector.

Language is fun.
Even my 20 year old GMC has an engine hour meter if you toggle the odometer.

It's good to know this can be useful more than just figuring out your average speed in mph over the life of the vehicle.
While I agree it's very clear what "2" means in this context, it's off the pattern AWS has set with EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) and S3 (Simple Storage Service) where the numbers are part of an arithmetic expression (S* 3 and E + C * 2).
"organizations like boogaloo" from my general experience they're no more an "organization" than Antifa? Just like minded people, on the internet who latched onto a name.

> Therefore, somebody who doesn't agree with this way of working is not "suitable"

Agreeing with how one should work when employed is very different from agreeing with some nonsense during the application process. And in my opinion test assignment which take days to be done is definitely nonsense.

Expecting applicants to follow a process that has been adopted in a company, which took possibly years to get established is very naive. Of course if they get hired they should comply with the company policies and make their best to fit in with the culture, but how can some arbitrary requirement help evaluate their abilities.

People involved in hiring sometimes forget that this process is a two-way street. Applicants can also have expectations, requirements and questions. They are also entitled to disagree. Being themselves in a process of selecting the best company to work for, they can have their own opinion about how this should happen. I'm not sure if is a good policy for a company to hire the most agreeable candidates, willing to follow without objection any rule or order.

Most good engineers I've worked with are not like that at all.
Not all shipping charges can be calculated ahead of time. For example, you may offer free shipping on orders over $50. You may charge $9.99 for the first item, $5.99 for each additional item. You may charge by weight of the whole order. You may have oversized items or packages that can be combined to reduce shipping charges. Some items may ship together as OTR Freight, while others can go via the local postal service. Buying multiple items changes this calculation.

So, yes, you can estimate shipping for a single item but you can't always present the per-item shipping charge as it depends on the context of the whole order.
They're much less of an organization than Antifa, who has city chapters, training sessions, meetings, and recruitment.
I totally agree with you that some employers are downright bad and that how a company runs an interview process is indicative of how they run everything. I have turned down multiple interviews and a job offer before because I was soured by how a company operated that process. I just don't think the reason for those bad processes is necessarily nefarious. Hanlon's razor and all.
> Interesting. So some people in Hawaiian shirts are fomenting unrest and trying to bring about a second civil war, whilst some other people in much more sober clothing are fighting for righteousness and justice by smashing up neighbourhoods and businesses and forcibly occupying parts of a major city.

That's about the gist of it, yes.
It's just bad, real bad, only made worse by the LAED bill they've recently introduced.

Well, that's a bar, not a brewery, and the topic here is breweries, not bars.

If a bar has the sort of foot traffic/clientele/supply chain to support 366 different beers on tap then good for them, some do, it's not an easy operation to run. They also usually buy mini-kegs for quick turnover. If they are serving garbage quality beer that's been sitting for months then they probably wouldn't be in business.

The place I used to frequent that has around 25 beers on tap usually had a turnover of about 50% of taps/week from what I saw.

Shrug the Delirium Café in Brussels has 2000 beers on tap.
