It's something I've been thinking about for a while.

I think it will depend on the people that will use it.

Some architecture require more maintenance than other.

For example, the first architecture that I've created is a serverless architecture based on Docker. Under the hood it only uses managed services like Fargate, CodePipeline, CodeBuild, Aurora...

Given that you'll have a catalog of different architectures, people that don't have any experience with AWS may need to choose architectures like that.

Also, each architecture contains a detailed Readme that explain the basic operations (updating ELB HealthCheck, increasing the amount of RAM that could be used by a Fargate task and so on...).

It's a complex subject, by the way, so I am entirely open to any comments, ideas or suggestions.
Fair enough. The FOSS operating systems are not sufficient to save computing as we know it. But they are necessary. So I don't think it's wrong to bring up their importance. Hardware under our control won't do us any good if we don't have the software.
Ask HN: Best ways to retain qualified employees?
What are the best effective measures to retain qualified employees (in general and developers in particular)?

I'd like to read you experiences and maybe some studies or articles about the topic.

Their website is just their logo. I'm assuming that's because they aren't offering service in the country I live in, but I'd expect them to at least say that? As it stands, I don't know if the page is broken, if my ad-blocker has screwed it up, or if they're just not offering me service...
this paper must have been written quite some time ago if near half a bitcoin was only worth $130.

on another note despite my many experiences with DMT i have never once encountered an entity of any sort nor have i had any spiritual or meaningful experiences (this holds true for all psychedelics i have tried) just a lot of colours and a feeling of comfort and happiness.

although i do often wonder why that is as so many others have experienced it, maybe its something to do with being autistic
You are probably correct, I must've misunderstood. Thank you.
Bit of a tangent, but I was curious about the circle lake in that picture of LOFAR[1]. That can't be naturally occurring can it? It looks like a moat, and I see lots of irrigation channels nearby. But maybe it was carved by a glacier. There's another LOFAR location[2] next to a park that has a lot of glacial lakes in it.

I work at Schrodinger Inc, collaborating with the people who make TorchANI (https://aiqm.github.io/torchani/). This currently predicts only molecular energies in the public codebase, but I expect they will add electron density using the same framework.

Currently I am using hybrid DFT (wB97X-D) with plans to move up to wB97M-V and possibly Quantum Monte Carlo. The TorchANI group likes wB97X and up-training with DLPNO-CCSD(T).
Is retirement fund money really being put into Uber?
I'm really curious to try this. It's interesting how we tend to veer off course when trying to walk straight, and cool to see an idea of how to exploit it.

I used to do gymnastics and as part of that I trained doing long series of cartwheels along a marked line. I managed to get good at doing it without deviating from that line. I looked straight ahead and it went fast enough that everything was a blur. However, I still couldn't do it with my eyes closed.
There’s probably time restrictions on when you can sell the stock. Also if you cashed out $2.65 billion of Uber stock the price would go way down.
Early/mid 2000s were still pretty unreliable; it was only with the introduction of parc fermé and the car not being allowed to be touched between qualifying and the race that we started seeing the vast majority of cars finishing. It was definitely processional, but that wasn't really down to the reliability.
King James version also gets it right, but even "He said:" is a complete sentence.
In your opinion, what is it that distinguishes your grandma from people in online discussions? I've been thinking about it a lot lately - that the facelessness of it makes it more difficult to employ empathy? That there are too many people online and connections with them are too ephemeral to form emotions necessary for kind discussions? That the anonymity makes some people lose inhibitions? What else?
My impression is that he's very well known here in Europe. Sure, not as much as whoever the year's pop sensation is, but Morricone is one of the few modern composers many people know by name.

His death is now a major headline on news sites from several different countries, too.

Upon relistening to that podcast I realized Yancey wrote it as an article originally: “The Dark Forest Theory of the Internet” by Yancey Strickler https://link.medium.com/0MeIwL0ET7

The podcast is amazing and worth listening to regardless.
I confirm your words - had unpleasant experience with them.
What you describe has little to do with "gish gallop" and would be far less effective (because it's too obvious and the other side can just ask you to provide sources of your own).

A gish gallop is when you make claims (often citing pseudoscience sources) faster than someone arguing in good faith can address them, and instead of enganging with refutations you just deflect superficially and switch to other claims.
His racing antics and desire to win at any cost aside, Schumi was brilliant. There were way less real time metrics of pit stop strategies, more variables like refueling and less sensors in the car. He was a master strategist and now with each team having dedicated teams around data and strategy, I doubt we will see a complete driver like him.
A nice post! The initial part of the article with the efficient markets hypothesis (satellite data and app download data are table stakes for investing) rings a bit hollow for me in a world where bankrupt Hertz is seeing its share price go up though...
I recently used magic-wormhole [1] for this. It was a 1-line command that gave me a keyphrase that I told to someone else. They typed the same command on their end, put in the keyphrase, and received my file.

I never have that requirement for any community I want to take part in to be honest. If I don't like it, I am going to look elsewhere.

What I consider unprofessional for example is banning people from your service because a mob demands it. Paypal is an example of a service for financial transactions that banned users fallen out of good faith. Here professional distance would actually make sense.

Imagine IT services giving out personal information of people they don't like, it is completely unimaginable. I think this is a real danger for large social media sites given the behavior of companies.
The problem with comment chains is that they aren't focused on a specific point. Like essays or conversations they just cover many points in the order the authors want them to.

There is also not a way to pursue a single idea down a comment chain. The idea is merged in with everything else the comment is about and not really followed consistently.

Suppose I write an interesting essay about five central ideas. What I'm looking for a way to separate those ideas and allow the user to follow any one of them to some conclusion without having to read the explanations for all five.

Or, alternatively, if an idea gets lost or we simply don't want to discuss it, we could flag this idea as something that needs further work by other community members, who could come along and improve it.

So, let’s assume that everyone who got banned for saying there are two genders (and presumably strongly believes it, because they cared enough to be banned for it) is attracted to this platform. People who disagree won’t be attracted to it; they can already post their opinion on, say, Twitter without being banned, and they hold the opposite opinion anyway. Now Twitter is an echo chamber of one side of the debate, and this new platform is an echo chamber of the other side. No debate can happen on Twitter; debate can IN THEORY happen on new platform, but won’t, because of the huge imbalance in participants (imagine an in person debate where one side is allowed to bring a hundred people who will all argue with the single guy on the other side). What have we gained by that? There’s still no debate happening. The banned people might as well have started blogs instead.
> In 1999 the co-founder of Corel Corp., who’d gotten his start at Nortel’s precursor company, threw a gala at which his wife showed up in a C$1 million leather bodysuit with an anatomically correct gold breastplate and a 15-carat-diamond nipple. “You were just surrounded by the most interesting and intelligent people that you could find anywhere in the world,” says Ken Bradley, who spent 30 years at Nortel, including as a chief procurement officer. “Nobody would ever tell me I couldn’t do something.”

Of course, that was the Russian agent disguised as a Chinese who did it.

I’m not saying that they had nothing to do with it (I don’t know), but it sounds a bit like hubris to me.
Yes, that’s where I was trying to take this. Open source parts can always (GPL3 excluded) be pulled into other environments, so it is basically impossible for a Linux environment to be “better” than an alternative, unless the “better” you seek is software freedom.
I’m curious, why is that ironic? Removing Boost dependencies in favor of modern STL is a common and healthy chore.

It makes sense. I would definitely order again and again from a place that gave me assurances that they would handle any mistakes.

I got an Indian meal delivered without the rice I ordered. I rang up and they apologized and refunded me straight away... but I still didn't have the rice so the meal I intended on having was ruined. I probably will never order from them again (there's plenty of other Indian food places near me)

Ask HN: Tell me about your dev machine
For the last 12 years I've been running Thinkpads as my main machine. Lately I've been doing some heavy Photoshop lifting and my poor x280 i7 is spinning it's fans out trying to cope with it. I started looking at building a desktop machine only to realize I have no clue about what's what anymore.

Qt is lovely but the company that controls it is in a bad place financially and it's not clear what will become of Qt if they go under. There's also the issue where if you get a commercial Qt license it's much more difficult to contribute to Qt under GPL or LGPL. And of course the license is tremendously expensive unless you're making serious money with the application, so prohibitive to smaller companies. I love Qt but I would never feel comfortable using it in a commercial project. There was also this bullshit earlier this year where they tried to pressure KDE into worse terms https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-community/2020q2/006098.h...
1. Create a professional work environment where people can disagree without turning into 4chan.

2. Foster their career growth.

3. Pay them above market if you can or give them a part of the company in equity or options.

4. Generally be a place that people want to work at.
Would love to learn how Brython completes with Transcrypt (https://www.transcrypt.org/) and PyJs (http://pyjs.org/)

Is there a page for that?
What is the nonprofit?
Right. The current era is definitely more competitive than past eras. Teams were often cash strapped back then, so sponsorship money trumped driver skill in some teams. Also Ferrari was very much Schumacher’s team. Irvine was his supporting driver much more than a true teammate, unlike what we have these days in most teams, including at Mercedes and Red Bull.
Yeah if there's enough people! I only noticed one other similar comment for now.
All I'm saying is that whole medium wave AM band is only 0.5MHz wide, and has bigger problems with long-distance interference and requires higher transmit power than the 88-108 FM band which is 20MHz wide.

You meant 1kbit ot 1kB/s? Neither is "am-quality mono", it's only acceptable with specialized voice codec. Music starts at 32kbit, pls source your claims if you know otherwise.

Listen to them, I mean really.

Especially when they suggest organization wide changes to improve workflow or work environment. Don't be the guy always dismissing suggestions or you can slowly but surely turn a proactive A player to someone that just do the bare minimum while seeking other opportunities.
PewPew M4 (CircuitPython Game Development Platform)
mind sharing your sources? :-)
Wow that is quite similar! Mine is a bit simpler but insists on providing flexibility with different apis so you can sync your online presence locally while also providing an easily programmable interface.
Seems super interesting, but I'm afraid at how much of a performance impact this might have. Any benchmarks on that? I can't imagine interpreting Python in JS to be cheap.

EDIT: nevermind, they do make a comparison here: https://brython.info/speed_results.html

There is a hit, but it doesn't seem too outrageous. Might be usable in simple webpages for people coming from Python that don't wish to learn an entire new language.
Article:

> critics, who point out that Chinese law obligates companies to cooperate with national intelligence work and to keep those requests secret. In other words, if asked, Huawei would have to spy for the state and cover up that spying. (U.S. companies have been accused of similar behavior, most famously following leaks by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.)

If US IC doesn't use it's big tech collaborators for corporate espionage, and loses out to someone who does, US can't blame anyone but itself.

Hiring ex Nortel was part of it, but also the billions of dollars of credit Huawei had thanks to CDB. If G7 states don't help their big tech with huge debt war chests, and lose customers to states that back their big tech...G7 states don't have anyone to blame but themselves.

It seems the article hopes you believe that Western corporate competition is not cut throat...just a bunch of dainty little companies oh so shocked at the aggressive competition from Huawei. Nothing could be further from the truth...How to read this in anyway apart from 1) Interesting history on Nortel and Huawei, and 2) a fine example of the contemporary genre of "China bad literature".
Culture and compensation. Make sure they’re managed well and focus on their growth as individuals, not only in the scope of your business.

It's false that no fund manager is consistently beating the market; you can easily find actively managed funds that have beaten the market for the last 5 years. The big debate is whether this is due to luck or skill, whether it's possible to tell the difference and whether it's possible to determine which fund manager will be successful in the future.

Uber is part of some indexes; S&P500 isn't the only one. The efficient markets hypothesis is obviously false, although from a distance it's usually a decent approximation.

And in case I'm about to get downvoted for violating the consensus -- 100% of my long-term investments are currently in index funds. But with the growing share of indexed investments, this is a very interesting question.

There are currently trillions of dollars (and growing) following the simple momentum strategy that index funds represent. It almost beggars belief that this is not, and will never, be exploited for gain.
1. Give them flexibility eg- work timings, wfh.

2. Pay above market rates and promote when it's deserved.

3. Allow them to retain IP of their side projects. People who want to build startups will eventually leave, but you can delay it with this. Considering most people will never reach product market fit, it's a win win.
I wonder how much of that is from dark patterns in Edge.
I assume there's CLI for compilation step?
Give them fulfilling work where they can keep learning while applying their skills.

This is on top of all the other sensible advice here such as pay them well, give them flexibility etc.

The issue with herd immunity are the unknown long term risks. Just imagine this stuff wrecks your immune system a couple of months after infection. Or, that immunity goes away after some months.

There's no guarantee that herd immunity helps. On the other hand, we could be working all hands on deck to arrange our lifestyle AND protect from infection.
It claims that:

"Speed of execution is similar to CPython for most operations."

Unfortunately CPython is several times slower (roughly 7x?) than most JavaScript engines to begin with. So I imagine it is quite slow.
Optimizing Images On The World's Top 100 Websites
The long answer, I believe, is to read and take to heart Daniel Pink's Drive. https://www.danpink.com/drive./

In short:

1. give them the ability to apply their own solutions to your problems - don't force-feed solutions as part of your problems. let dev teams use their own expertise to collaborate with the business to come up with the right answer

2. allow devs to pursue mastery of their field, give them opportunity to learn and experiment and become great at what they do

3. make sure that the thing you're building matters to your customers, so that your devs have a feeling of purpose. nobody wants to ship code that does nothing, for nobody. start measuring whether you're building the right thing (see Lean Startup)

People will say 'pay', but I think that only matters up to a certain point. I don't think anyone leaves a company offering all 3 of the above just because they aren't paid above market rate.

Best of luck!
He should have gotten one for 'the good, the bad, the ugly'. Didnt check though who else got it that year.

I think the point of the article was that interacting with the stock market (and potentially other areas of many businesses) is more like interacting with a bookie than interacting with reality.

there are diminishing returns on salary increases. you should aim to be competitive but if you raise it too high then people will stay just for the salary. their motivation changes and they can feel trapped or just start coasting.

if someone comes to you with a competing offer, you should be open to negotiation (provided they have done well in their recent perf reviews)
Yes, you're right.

Even if you can lock the API version of the SDKs, you will still need to update all the architectures with the new features and changes.

#3 on this list is under-rated, in my opinion.
Well, they're in the Russell 1000 and others, not to mention a bunch of ETFs that are basically indexes of their own. If you want a properly diversified global index fund portfolio, you wouldn't want to limit yourself to 500 of the largest American companies.

Mine contains 4 funds covering ~2500 global companies.
If I recall, Brython doesn’t behave exactly like CPython but more as a thin Python-like wrapper around JS. There’s not as much emulation as a result and the performance is more on par with JS than something like Skulpt.
Reading the comments here, it seems like the service is hit or miss. It doesn’t seem to find anything online of pictures of me. I tried celebs and athletes, that seems to work and it actually finds and returns back the exact pictures that I uploaded.
It's terribly convenient to find some generic fault with the mere act of someone complaining. That way, you never have to engage with any specific incident. Instead, just lump it together with any number of real or imaginary other complaints and derail any discussion of the merits with the counter-claim of the terrible harms of even having such a discussion.

It's like telling someone "stop being so defensive!". There is no rebuttal that a bit of bad faith cannot turn into evidence against the accused.

"Virtue Signalling", of course, is even better: just as generic, but the strength of the accusation increases proportionally to the perceived moral distance of the underlying, real argument. It's the perfect go-to argument when, by any other measure, you are advocating pure evil and the other side is annoyingly reasonable.
Yes, what I'm asking is what is the motivation to have them?
