Certainly doesn't, but I've come to very much appreciate my TS100's brains. And accelerometer.

Being able to idle back when it hasn't moved in a while, but recover quickly when I pick it up, used to require magnets and a reed switch in the holder. But the TS100 can do it in any holder, simply by looking for movement in its accelerometer.

Being able to turn itself the rest of the way off after a longer period seems a nice safety measure.

Pushbutton temperature adjustment isn't perhaps as simple as a knob, but the realtime display of tip temperature is awfully nice to know how long it takes my commands to have an effect.

And, since it can sense the input voltage, some firmwares have automatic shutdown for various lithium cell voltages, in case you're driving it directly from a battery pack like many R/C hobbyists do in the field. I've never met another portable iron with that feature.

Is it excessive for a basic desk iron? Yeah, probably. But it's amazing as portable go-anywhere iron, which is also capable enough to replace my desk iron. I'm a fan.

I found myself wanting a graph based approach too, with multiple parents, so I created Very Nested [1] to find out what it was like.

It's open source, outline focused (like workflowy) and uses GitHub for storage and hosting. It also supports files and images.

So far, I've enjoyed organising my recipes [2] with it.

Feedback welcome, it's very new.

"teaching all devs on how to do devops within 2 months"

The 'ing' at the end of the verb suggests that this is an activity, rather than an objective nor a key result.

If your company is using the term "OKRs" to refer to things that aren't OKRs, then perhaps they could use some help from someone who has used OKRs successfully elsewhere.

The same thing could happen with any new way of working. Imagine a company where no one has used TDD before. Some leaders decide everything must use TDD from now on. People try to work in this new way but, lacking experience and role models, they write their tests at the wrong level of abstraction and end up constraining future refactoring instead of enabling it. Would such an experience mean that TDD is bad or useless?
You don’t get paid either way.

In many places, urban or close suburban school districts suck.

In my city, due to court mandated decrees from 40 years ago, my kid would need to take a bus almost 60 minutes to the other side of town based on a lottery.

In the NY Metro area, you can trade commute time for being a few minutes from the beach or living upstate with lots of open space, etc. People make choices based on what is important to them. Who in gods earth wants to live in some cramped apartment in Brooklyn or whatever if other options are available?
This has got to be the most ridiculous question ever. The answer is no. If GW Bush accepted the result as called in Florida and not taken it to the Supreme Court he would not be elected. It is a trap question to box a candidate in.

And if anyone believes the military would support him if he actually tried to stay by force (hint he wouldn’t) they are smoking something. The military wants Biden so they can reinvigorate their endless wars, which their current commander in chief annoyingly speaks out against whenever he can.

I have been on the situation that I was overstressed, but thought I was unproductive because everything was boring, and I had to push myself more until I got into the interesting stuff. Just somebody telling me I had to relax was already enough to help.

But I don't think in any circumstance I could simply read this in a web article and get the point. The person that told me to relax was a psychologist, that had a list of symptoms to base his advice on.
It feels to me that it's pretty much the same. You still have to do review at some point, means engineer will be distracted, and probably it will require immediate attention since it's already merged, other things can depend on it, reverting is an high velocity team can be a challenge on its own. Not saying that it's bad per se, it just feels that you get the same amount of work and "distraction" anyway.

IME, you can use 3.3V logic with 5V WS2812B/SK6812 strips, no trouble.

Each LED reforms the signal before sending it to the next LED in the chain, so voltage dropping over distance shouldn't a huge issue for the logic line unless the strip is very far away from the controller.

And the datasheet almost agrees with my experience; the "high" voltage threshold is listed as 0.7×VDD, and 0.7×5=3.5V. That's a bit over 3.3V, but I haven't had any issues across several projects. Maybe it's because many USB supplies provide a little over 5V to account for droop? Maybe the datasheet is slightly pessimistic? Maybe 0.7 really means 2/3? Whatever the reason, it simplifies the wiring for small displays.

Here's my favorite reference for the single-wire protocol that these LEDs use, since everyone seems to be chiming in with one:

Rather than “stop overthinking”, which I find to be similar to asking a fish to breathe air, I tend to try to just accept and embrace unproductive moments, knowing that they arise from time to time. I believe they are a necessary part of mental rest. I also tend to be at my sharpest when returning from one of these episodes.

In general I’m known for being a highly productive person, but I’m not sure many people know quite how much time I spend doing basically nothing.
> A better test would be taking groups of English and non-English non-programmers, and teaching both of them entirely from scratch.

In a way, we already have this test today. Most of the world's programmers are non-native speakers and, by and large, they learn programming languages where keywords are based on English. I've heard people thinking that language localization would be a cool thing, but I haven't heard anyone complain about it not being available.

> Out of interest, is there any more public information of your work here?

No, my comment is all the public info there is about it. My $.02, localizability wouldn't be what I would worry about for a proof-of-concept language.
I've worked with pre-commit code review, post-commit code review, and no code review, and I strongly prefer pre-commit. Surprisingly often, there are issues that come up in code review that require the change to be completely rethought, in which case you really don't want the change to have already been submitted. People, especially junior reviewers, are also much less willing to ask for substantial changes post-commit, because it's so much additional work.

It's a good fit for situations where code reviews are just a quick check that there's nothing seriously wrong with the commit, but if you're using your code reviews as the excellent teaching / mentoring tool that they can be, code reviews aren't a rubber stamp.
Maybe with some pneumatics? I dunno, hmm.
You're extrapolating from the evidence of one event to all (or most) events. What you're calling "journalistic malpractice" is possibly an editor with a story in need of a picture (everything has to be visual to sell the story), asking the photog pool for a suitable image. This happens all the time. Timing matters though. In the instance you quote, if the original story was published before the police charged the attackers, then the journalists made an honest mistake. Otherwise we'd have to wait for the entire judicial process to reach completion before making any comment. E.g. you seem to implying that because they were charged by police, the attackers of the vehicle were in the wrong, but that can't be known until a conviction is reached. The point, I'm making is that journalism is an exercise in trying to parse and publish what is known 'at the time'.

I think your comment about mainstream media is mostly unfair, as the same accusations can be made against most non-mainstream media. I'd also suggest that NPR are one of the better mainstream media orgs, but that's just my opinion. The parent poster made one case for why - they are willing to host their own critics. Not too many news orgs are willing to do that.
As a trans woman, I wish more people thought like you do.

I see so many trans men or women that don't pass (as their gender identity) because parents or healthcare doctors kept them from transitioning; before puberty disfigured their body and prevented any chance of them passing as their gender identity.

The foregoing situation happened more in the past. Especially depending on where they lived and how the healthcare laws allow doctors to deny patients treatment because of religious reasons. I think nowadays that's going away with self consent treatment.

Anyway my point is these people are suicidal because they don't pass with constant social reminders everyday while trying to function through normal everyday tasks that require interacting with strangers. They likely will never pass to strangers and unless they get the finances to attempt aesthetic surgeries.

Well in the meantime people just tell them "do therapy" and while most have already tried but that's just not changing whats required for reality to be better. Nevertheless they're continuously told "just keep trying" and oh try another therapist that works for you!

Makes me think that the mental healthcare is mostly for public image. Since sure some people benefit but for the ones that don't nothing improves and the professionals are fine with that reality.

Were you unable to recycle your pods?
The best set-up for someone who likes espresso is simply a no-frills prosumer espresso machine, a separate good quality grinder, a few other minor things, and some training in dialing in your process. There exist machines that literally do everything including grinding the coffee, but these yield disappointing results.

With regular descaling, backflushing, and sometimes repair or upgrades an espresso machine will easily last more than a decade.

> If GW Bush accepted the result as called in Florida

He did.

There were lawsuits prior to certification of the results, while automatic recounts were ongoing, which affected the recount procedure and final certified results, but Bush (and Gore) accepted the certified results.

But the question wasn't about State elections of electors, which are certified by states, but the Presidential election itself.
I don't think any re-wording of your statement was intended by breaking up your sentence, it is pretty common to abbreviate when quoting, even mid-sentence. At least I hope it was not intended... I can see that the quoted part makes it into a different statement.

Half the people doomscrolling are sitting up worried about a different set of things. The point of the article is that it’s not healthy for anyone. You’re not going to cut off resurgent Marxism by refreshing Newsmax in a loop in a loop.

You’re also overlooking a very important fact of life. Overlooking other people’s suffering is an inherent human defense mechanism, and it’s not necessarily a bad thing. You invoke it every time you spend a few grand on a vacation—an amount of money that could save a human life from malaria or feed a child in Bangladesh for a decade.

I second this sentiment. Breaking a problem down into a smaller set of problems tends to help for me. It's much easier to start and be consistent with a small set of changes and grow them over time.

If I can add onto "just do something", sometimes a brute forced/hacky solution is better than nothing. I know that I will delay something if I don't think I can do the "perfect" version of it (either in diet or exercise); however, I have found that starting a behavior in a small way and being consistent is infinitely better than waiting to have the circumstances be perfect.
Hi Dan,

Re: your comment from a few years ago regarding LLVM: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11054682

So what's the best way to tackle the learning curve of what you're suggesting? If I know zero about LLVM and I want to make something like the OP, what should I do?

At the time, I was hoping for an answer to this too — my experience with LLVM was zero.

This lab from MIT 2014 turns out to be a minimalist useful example: http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~junfeng/14fa-e6121/hw/hw2.html

It's a bounds checker rather than a compiler, but it seems to show how to use the full LLVM pipeline. When I realized that this might be an excellent starting point toward your original question, I thought I'd mention it in case it was helpful.
Disclaimer: didn't read the whole thing, but here's some feedback:

> Graphs are not only useful as cognitive aides, but are suitable data structures for a wide variety of tasks, particularly on modern parallel processing hardware.

I hope you mean by parallel processing, on a single machine. Reasoning on distributed graphs are difficult to do. The semantic we community could talk for days about what doesn't work.

> Sets: datasets, multisets, posets, alphabets

I guess by alphabets you mean dictionaries.

When you talk about types as graphs I guess you mean nested Objects with collection attributes/types

Where I agree with you is that graphs feel more natural than other structures because our brain is a gigantic graph of neurons.

I don't agree that the web is a directed graph. Not even the semantic web because of a lack of data quality, ridiculous ontologies, and a massive amount of parrtaly duplicating the same instances.

I wouldn't include formula or code parsing because in such cases they are just a means to an end.

What I would include on the other hand are execution plans of data bases which are used for query optimization. You might want to talk here to someone at Oracle.

That all being said, I'd like to reiterate on talking to the semantic web community. Maybe start networking at the ISWC conference first. I always dreamt of every ody's personal knowledge graph where explicit data is linked through everybody's individual ontology into something that is particularly understandable for the creator of the specific ontology.

They definitely need someone with a different perspective. The vuys from Cambridge Semantics are quite good.
The only time I have seen WIP merges reviewed is when requested by the author or for a more junior engineer who may not understand the spec or codebase well. They might actually improve developer velocity in this case with _paired programming_ until the engineer is up to speed - that or a more involved planning phase.

Other than WIP reviews, I don't see any difference between pre-commit or post-commit reviewing - especially if they're both pre-deploy as described.
I will say, it must be nice to spend so much time worrying about problems that don't exist instead of all the ones that actually do. Seems like it'd be a real comfort.

Show HN: Puzzle Game Built with Svelte
I always assumed that part of the reason you mandate pre-commit code reviews was to protect the business from a rogue developer. If you have a developer who is empowered to merge code that is continuously deployed to production before a code review is done, that developer could code something that exfiltrates data and could do a lot of harm before it's rolled back.

This insider attack is clearly viable since something like this happened with the recent Twitter hack of verified accounts.

All the findings in that research completely mirrors my observations at my current employer.

My personal observation of forced remote work seems somewhat bipolar. If you have large responsibilities, lots of work, or the freedom to take initiative the new time flexibility allows you to increase personal performance. If you have a lot of time availability the new flexibility allows you to do other things than pretend to work or mindlessly surf the web. Sometimes people see that gap and try to fill it with more meetings to force engagement.

I have a Nespresso machine and TBH, being able to have a quick ristretto or two literally inside a minute before flying out the door in the morning (pre-COVID19!) was nice -- yet terribly wasteful with the pods.

Usually, it's drop coffee ... in fact my 10 year old $35 Mr. Coffee machine broke recently and I had to (shock horror) resort to a cafetière & kettle (the $30 Mr. Coffee burr-grinder thankfully still worked!). You know what? It's fantastic, 4 minutes and push the plunger. Great tasting coffee ... maybe the Mr. Coffee stays dead. In either case, at least the only environmental impact is bio-degradable coffee grounds (maybe paper filter) and energy to heat water (and grind coffee!).
