It's worth noting that Linus Torvalds does not write life-critical software. Take his opinions with a pinch of salt. He's made some of the most incredibly valuable contributions to computing, however this does not make him an authority on all things programming. He's anything but infallible.
Back when I used Jira I actually quite liked it. Not that it was the best thing out there, but honestly with a little bit of config we could set up our (mandated by law) process quite easily and follow it.

Speed isn't the best, but it was either that, use Redmine with a massive config or wrap the shop up.
> Is it fair to say that pension funds are largely to blame for this? Corporations can't acquire debt if nobody offers them money.

About as fair as it is to say that people who wish to receive some income after retirement are to "blame" for this. Nobody can save without some other party (households, companies or the state) acquiring debt.
Yeah so to counter that, we should obviously dismiss everyone accused.
Do you think Swift has a future for WASM? Rust is faster and Swift is easier, and I genuinely wonder how that particular tradeoff will shake out for web.

The premise doesn't make sense: these bags are not "lost", they're being sold in a specific store, why aren't the owners looking for them there?

The title is misleading but it's explained in the post, these are "unclaimed luggage". Most likely the owner decided to take the compensation option when it was taking too long for the airline to find it.

The article does mention a case of someone finding his own item in that store, more by accident than by intentionally looking for it.

We engineers tend to apply a "raised baseline" to non-engineers. We seem to assume that everyone "just knows" the "basics" of tech; especially if we are in a tech environment.

The vast number of employees at corporations over a certain size are non-tech, with specialties in Marketing, Sales, Finance, Administration, Support, Manufacturing, etc.

I see that a lot of tech companies have recruiters that are quite close to their teams. I know that Facebook and Apple do this, as they have contacted me in the past.

Those types of recruiters wouldn't make the same mistake, but they are not common in many corporations.

> The internet, in all of its forms, simply increases awareness of what's going on around

I think this gets overlooked too much by people in tech sociological bubble.

The shape of the world is at any point in time a function of (1) the various frictions to information flow that are present, and (2) exploitation of the same by the powerful.

The shape of the pre-information-age world in particular contained within it latent sources of conflict and instability (examples abound, I won't specify here) that could only be maintained by keeping some people voiceless and others in the dark.

What we're witnessing now is a tumultuous transition period as we reach a new equilibrium.

Two of the forces that will determine the shape of that new equilibrium: (1) People acting in their interests based on new information and (2) new restrictions on information transmission better adapted to the evolving state of technology.
Some password managers have a feature to automatically clear the clipboard contents 30 seconds after copying a password. But I have only seen this on Android, Windows and macOS. Not on any iOS apps, likely due to tougher restrictions on executing in the background.

Speaking of dubious recruiting practices, can anyone explain why applicants frequently get ghosted? I mean some companies give zero reply after the workflow system acks receipt of an application.

I feel this reflects poorly--in public--on a company's culture. The glossy "work here" page means nothing if there's no follow through in practice. A human may have spent days researching your company and preparing a cover letter, and you can't even click the "no" button?

The workflow system, at the very least, should provide state feedback: received, in review, no, or "let's talk".

There are several approaches that can be taken with balloons. By design, they do not expand like a weather balloon does. One wants to put in enough lifting gas to make it fly high (mostly to avoid clouds that will bring down a balloon with such little free lift), but not enough that it will burst.

In the referenced article, an SBS-13 balloon is used. It's made from a clear Mylar-like material and will fly at 40000ft+ when filled with helium (higher with hydrogen). This is the 'gold standard' of balloons and can fly for months at a time as it's over most weather. The downside is that they cost close to $200.

Another approach is to buy a cheaper 36" diameter balloon made of similar material from AliExpress that cost about $1. These are often pressurized to a certain differential pressure to 'stretch' the balloon before launch and gain some extra volume, as well as to QA the quality of the balloon (the QA on a $1 balloon isn't extensive). If filled with hydrogen, these can fly at 35000 ft+, a bit lower for helium. Usually two of these cheap balloons are used for a launch for more lift, though a single one can be used and a lower altitude reached.

A light payload is desirable as it will increase altitude. I've seen as light as 5 grams and the heavier ones are closer to 20g. One can calculate the free lift where the differential pressure of the balloon at altitude will pop it, but it's usually around 7g (so the balloon + payload + 7g will neither rise or fall before launching).
Two things mentioned in the article (a) US tax advantaging of a debt-laden structure and (b) LBOs actively punishing firms for not carrying an "efficient" level of debt are probably more important. Note that LBOs were invented in a period of double digit interest rates.

(there is an argument that USD interest rates are "too low" due to market reasons, because USD is the global reserve currency. I suspect leveraging global reserve status to apply strategic sanctions is, at least over the short term, far worth more the US than any resulting malinvestment. If not, we'd all be using Bancor for exchange.)

Also just being enamored with the stuff I see on The Woodwrights Shop. Quick plug that PBS has the most recent ten season of The Woodwrights Shop available on their website [1]. I always changed the channel when I was younger and it came on. Not sure if it's just an appreciation that comes with age or if I just didn't give it a fair shake before, but it's really a great show.

I totally agree.
There are many fields and situations where the cost for a certain type of error is negligible or non existant.
This inevitably creates a system biased towards making gambles that end up create such errors.

If for example, a case where a person is discovered to have been wrongly accused and incarcerated would trigger a very serious investigation of the specific people that were involved in that decision (judge, jury, lawyers, experts etc), the system would be much more careful with such acts.
Well there is no silver bullet right, and there are many factors in a situation like yours.

Lets say you're hiring for a Java position to make web apps. Is a better candidate someone with lots of desktop Java experience, or someone with lots of Django experience? The answer is of course, it depends. On the person, the job etc. I'd interview both and it's probable the second person has more relevant skills.

The problem with putting emphasis on years of experience is that the second person might not get through the HR filter.
If taxes were that easy, we wouldn’t need so many accountants in the US. In reality, there are a bunch of ways a person makes $500k and pays less than $150k in taxes.

- For example, if it’s paid as carried interest, they only pay a 20% tax rate.

- They could itemize deductions.

- A farmer could buy a brand new truck and call it a business investment.

- If you’re a pass-through entity you only pay a 20% rate
Stating that it is "just chemistry" has no implications on whether it can be done, which was the claim being made.

The fact that it has not been done with "just chemistry" is no proof but it does tend to skew the probabilities toward the view that substantially more may be required.
Radio hobbyists used to use spark-gap transmitters. These were cheap to make and popular. They also produced a lot of radio noise.

This caused them to be effectively banned by the 1930s, outside of marine use, in favor of continuous wave transmitters.

So that particular obsolete hobby will not have a resurgence.

I can see a similar argument with ham radio. If it "dies", that is, if there are many-fold fewer people using it, then that frees up RF spectrum. There will be pressure to reallocate those frequencies to, eg, commercial use.

When the 2090s subculture rediscovers ham radio, there won't be the spectrum for them all, and the spectrum assignments will be hard to change for what is likely a fad.

Maybe CB radio will be popular again? "Ah, breaker one-nine, this here's the rubber duck. you gotta copy on me, pig pen, c'mon?"
This has little to do with IBM but much more with HR.

Based on my experience, the second most stupid people work in HR. Most stupid people? Real Estate.

I am not saying that people in HR or RE are stupid by definition, I am sure some very smart people work in these fields. But it is a question of entrance barrier. You can get into HR from nearly any background. Yet, some kind of degree is required in most cases. In RE you do a few weeks training and you are ready to go.

Other fields have tremendous entrance barriers. Lets say a professor in a STEM field. You can find average people there but stupidity is rare.

Perhaps it's merely coincidental, but Google created this TCP connection tracking data where it wasn't there before or was of much lower fidelity; they made a specific exception for GA to reuse one connection across domains for 6 minutes in HTTP/1 in Chrome and then later had their protocol rubber-stamped that reuses one connection to GA for 30+ minutes in HTTP/2.

So yes, I would like to see some proof, for example a specific corporate denial, that this tracking data that they created isn't being used.

Well, if you don't think you pack a punch or can take a beating, you don't throw your hat into the ring.

The problem is always to know how to strike a balance- believe in yourself, know what you can achieve, but don't become an overblown bag of farts. Why? Because obviously nobody can stand knowing they're an overblown bag of farts, so if someone is, they don't know the first thing: who they are.

Socrates, the wisest of men, knew how to get out of this one. "I know one thing, and I know it well: I know nothing at all", he said [1]. And, he said, "know thyself" [2].

Well, I think there's some factors. I can focus really easily into something and get completely absorbed in it. That helps immensely. There's a huge part of your mind that only activates when you're completely shutdown from outer stimuli and completely focused into something. That part of your mind is hundreds of times more powerful and efficient than your normally used part. If I can't focus like that my productivity drops drastically. And that can happen any time for a variety of reasons.

I’ve struggled with insomnia my whole adult life and I can tell you the three factors that have helped the most are, in order:

- removing caffeine completely

- getting enough direct sunlight (hours per day)

- losing weight

Everything else (melatonin, blue light, exercise, sleepy tea, other drugs, etc) never helped or made my quality of life worse.
Only Google considers it to be a trademark issue. The external developers were hoping that having the project in the CNCF would allow them to have more say over its development while still benefiting from Google's ongoing contributions. Now they have to pick one or the other.
I'm guessing they mean cognitive abilities in general. Taking a music lesson won't make the kid any smarter than if he didn't take it. He'll just interact with music up to the level of his general intelligence, and if he played Fortnite instead, he'd do the same.

This is more "chess won't make you smarter." I'm assuming what does is related to family environment, genes, and quality of primary education.

I'm not dang, obviously, but I think it's a testament to his hard work that HN functions even as well as it does.

Most sites its size are far, far worse, I think.

I personally believe that is due to human nature.

I think that is what dang has observed and is trying to articulate - no matter how smart or rigorous or mathematical you are, you still are human and thus subject to the human condition.

One way that manifests is this persuasion that the Other is winning the war (and that there is a war, for that matter).

I take it as almost axiomatic that a site with Twitter's volume cannot be anything but the cesspool it is.

It's too big for a single person to even begin to read a statistically-significant fraction of the content.

That means moderation is a hilariously-stupid concept at that scale. Any team of moderators large enough to do the job will itself suffer the fragmentation and conflicts that online forums do, and find itself unable to agree on what the policies should be, let alone how they should be adapted in contentious cases (and by definition, you only need moderation in contentious cases).
Bose are very good. I've a pair of wireless over ear headphones and my girlfriend has the wireless in-ear ones. Noise cancellation is very good with both, especially for constant background noise.

All over ear headphones will tend to cause your ears to warm up, so the in ear ones are more comfortable. But the integrated microphone with the in-ear headphones is surprisingly poor for phone calls.
Reports of harassment at Ubisoft include Hascoet’s actions and statements with witnesses, actions that his coworkers mimicked after him, and also matter of official record[0].

An “allegation” does not mean a groundless accusation. Any claim, even a very obvious and serious one, would be referred to in media as “allegation” until the accused is convicted.

The conviction does not always happen even in clear-cut cases, as the matter might not end up in court for various reasons unrelated to the truth of the claim.

The fact that measures were taken by the employer (some measures appear to be directly detrimental to the company, such as firing someone in charge of most of their products) shows that the allegations are likely firmly based in reality.

Does anyone happen to know how toxic the new copper compounds are? Obviously they are toxic enough to microbes to make the wood rot resistant.

Also a fun fact I learned since our deck was originally built 15-20 years ago shortly after the switch-over to the new treated wood:

They needed to re-formulate the coatings they put on fasteners to hold up decent in the new treated wood. It took them a couple years to figure that out or at least for the knowledge to be widely known.

All the screws in our deck that I took out were corroded to the point that many of them looked more like toothpicks than screws when I removed them.
I'll bite: There's something 'humane' about hunting an animal, rather than it being in captivity birth to plate.

I had bad insomnia during graduate school, tried just about everything under the sun (medication, sleep studies, lifestyle changes, herbs) and eventually did CBT-I with a therapist, and that was my ultimate solution. She had me start with going to bed at 3am and waking up at 7am for a week. I was absolutely exhausted, felt like my days were dreams. Then, we pulled forward he’s time to 2am. Checked how long it took me to fall asleep, and if I reported it was quick, then pull it to 1am, etc. until I was falling asleep quickly but also felt refreshed. I kept this all down on some worksheets provided.

The key was absolutely no matter what, no matter how tired I felt, I had to wake up at 7am and get out of bed. No naps.

We found the optimal spot to be 11pm lay in bed, and wake up at 7am. I always keep that schedule, deviating only by 30min or so even on weekends. Haven’t had trouble sleeping since!

I also think going from graduate school (little solid schedule) to a corporate 9-5 job helped. Covid has mangled that a bit, but I still keep the same sleep schedule.

tl;dr- CBT-I was a life-changer for me.

Are you talking about the memory management model or the syntax. For the syntax, it's a matter of getting used to. For memory management, Rust has alloc::rc, so Rust gives you Swift + more options.
