I genuinely wonder if the people in charge of Reddit ever come around to places like this to read these sentiments. Hell, they actually only need to read actual Reddit posts to understand that many people are utterly disgusted by their tactics to try and force you onto their mobile app, they're upset at how slow the (default) site is, etc.

Maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe people will keep using it forever. But I doubt it. They've turned Reddit from something that had potential to exist for a long time into something closer to TikTok (which, even without the current drama, was never going to be more than a fad IMO). There are more efficient ways to get low-effort shitposts and memes than Reddit. Those who want that will move on, and the people who were interested in more than that are leaving now.

> the user interface is horribly designed

I see this type of remark against git quite often on HN and I think it's exaggerated.

I agree some of the porcelain are misleading and overloaded as convenience functions such as checkout, however a decent chunk of it is inline with the underlying data structure. Nothing is perfect, and git is pretty damn good - horribly designed? no, could do with some breaking porcelain re-writes? sure.
It's the command that does "Reset working directory/Discard changes/Revert to last commit"! You'd think that's what "git reset" would to, but of course not.

> East Coast VCs are much more conservative, which is actually better in a longer term because it results in more stable return rates (less failure).

Returns are power law distributed, not normally. You want to increase your variance, not minimize the chance of the fund not returning anything. VC’s investment thesis is not based on making solid returns that aren’t that risky. It’s a bunch of minimally correlated bets, most of which will return nothing, some of which return 100x their investment or more.

Stripe and AirBnB are the majority of the value of YC’s investment portfolio.
cockpit has many "applications" including cockpit-podman to manage containers :

https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-podman

This is the Cockpit user interface for podman containers.

It is being actively developed and has not yet reached feature parity with cockpit-docker. For now you can do basic image and container tasks for both system and user containers.
Yea it sounded like a really good program. If I were able to I'd like to abandon everything for 5 weeks to go there like the author.
that's cause they push it like a crack dealer pushing crack.

wanna play a video, open it in the app.
wanna look at risky content, open it in the app.

and btw, their app IS THE WORST. my biggest gripe is that i CANNOT COLLAPSE CONVERSATIONS grrrrrrrrrrrrr. i'm not gonna waste my time listing all the other annoyances and bugs that are riddled through out the thing.

fact of the matter is that the reddit app is the poster child that just because something has that many downloads doesn't mean it's a good product. i would be willing to bet that 75% of those download are people uninstall and reinstalling it because it LOCKS UP EVERY 5 MINUTES grrrrrrrrrrrr.
I gave it a shot, and it was able to see my running libvirt VM's although it could not create one due to an obscure error of not supporting the "custom" CPU type. The running VM's are running in full virtualization so it is probably just a minor bug in Cockpit, seeing that it is after all just a libvirtd frontend in this regard. Aside from that, Cockpit looks fairly stable and it has potential, but keep in mind it is very simple.
Step 5 is then that an open, federated and/or decentralized protocol gets developed, and it either gets traction or dies.

Unfortunately, for many such communication channels, we are still only in the middle of this step 5, and we have no idea how it ends. E.g. Matrix for chat, ForgeFed for source hosting services, PeerTube for videos, or various other (mostly ActivityPub-based) efforts.
Every highly curated subreddit seems to have a regression toward some sort of lowest common denominator and any sort of deviance gets crushed even if it's good correct content that shouldn't be. I'm no historian but seeing this behavior in every subreddit where I have the experience to recognize BS makes me very skeptical of the idea that other subreddits are not doing the same.

What size is your company/team?

Different strategies perform well depending on size. For example, most of the time I find OKRs a little excessive for a small team.

Have you identified KPIs? What are they?

"What's measured is managed," said Drucker. Personally, finding what exactly to measure is difficult. So don't be afraid to spend a lot of time figuring this out. When you do, all the other performance management strategies will somehow find a way to work towards your goals.
Not constrained to the interval [0,1], though: The change in the stockmarket was -5 percent or -0.05 perunage today, but +300 percent or +3 perunage over the last xyz years.
I mean corporatist as the denial that math inevitably leads to winner-takes-all, and the celebration of those outcomes as moral victories which are somehow rooted in merit, and somehow we're all better off because some kids won all the marbles.

Stuff like being anti-democratic, anti-labor, anti-competition, defending monopolies, radical power imbalances, amoral behaviors are just the symptoms, not the causes.

The cause is math. Preferential attachment, compound interest, and whatever that gambling thing is called.

Even board games and game shows and school children know this and actively mitigate it. If only to keep the game going and enjoyable.

Technically true and only easy if done within the first 2 hours, after that it's cumbersome (requires a desktop browser to go into order history). I will posit that it takes longer than 48 hours to decide if you want to continue using a chat/messaging app - the dynamics require multiple live humans to interact on their timescales, it's not just playing a game or whatnot on your own.
I don't find `man git` to be bad at all. Git is complex, and its man pages do the right thing by referring to sources for basics info like giteveryday, and referring to in-depth guides as well. Individual man pages are also pretty good, see `man git-rebase`. It starts with an overall explanation of what rebase does, with examples, and then covers configuration options and flags. It's a lot of stuff, but it's pretty good as far as documentation goes.

GNU packages often have documentation that's bad in the typical "Linux docs are bad" way. Try `man less`. First, it commits a grave sin in having a totally useless one-line summary, which reads "less - opposite of more". Funny, but totally useless and doesn't even remotely suggest what the command does (if you know what more is on UNIX, you surely know what less does). Or `man grep`. It's a reference page, very good for knowing what all the options do, but with no useful everyday examples, and with gems like these:

> Finally, certain named classes of characters are predefined within bracket expressions, as follows. Their names are self explanatory, and they are [:alnum:], [:alpha:], [:cntrl:], [:digit:], [:graph:], [:lower:], [:print:], [:punct:], [:space:], [:upper:], and [:xdigit:].

Self explanatory? Yes, if you used grep in the 90s. Is alnum alphanumeric or all numbers? Is alpha short for alphabet, as in what most people would intuitively call letters? What's xdigit? Extra digits? Except digits? Oh, it's hex digits. Pretty obvious that periods and commas are in punct... but also + * - {} are punct, among other stuff.

`man tar` is extremely comprehensive, an impressive reference, but very hard to figure out if you've never used tar.

I've been recently looking at FreeBSD documentation for common commands, and the source code as well. Both are so much better than the usual GNU versions you find on Linux.

> if you're using the value by multiplying it with some other value, does that not imply it qualifies as normalised

Certainly, "normalisation" can mean something more general than "rescale to the interval [0,1]".

For example, "rescaling to the interval [0, 20]" might make sense in some contexts and would usually count as a type of normalisation, and would still involve muliplying by a number. But that would be multiplying by (20 / max possible value) rather than the typical case of multiplying by (1 / max possible value).

So normalisation can mean something more general than the most usual common case, but it's not just any old "multiplying it with some other value". It has to specifically for the purpose of rescaling to some fixed, more useful/sensible range.

> say you have a width of 500 and you want to move half way across so you have this value of 0.5 to get 250

This is a great example of multiplication that isn't normalisation! You've multiplied by 0.5 to get the midpoint, but that process isn't normalisation because you've not ended up with some more sensible range. You started with [0,infinity) (the set of all possible widths) and ended up with that same infinite range.

> By dividing 250 by 500

Hang on, I'm confused about your example: are you asking about 500*0.5 (=250) or 250/500 (=0.5)? If it's the latter than that's normalisation, and not even something fancy or general but classic linear rescaling to the interval [0,1]. Yes, that's certainly normalisation.

----

Going back to my original comment: I was talking about values that were in the range 0 to 1 that hadn't reached that range by being multiplied by anything at all; they were just naturally in that range to begin with. For example, a probability would fit this bill.

> Whenever a new app for a given filetype is added, Windows asks you which one you want to use....While Edge getting a special category at the top is annoying, this showcases the uphill battle Microsoft faces, where they get blamed for the actions of other software and user stupidity on a regular basis, because people don't understand how Windows works, in general.

Edge getting a special category at the top is central to the problem. If Firefox 80 added a PDF reader and Windows is being so nice as to let you choose whether you want to use it instead of whatever you currently use, then in the list of PDF reader applications, a user should see it at the top (which will invite them to think "Hey cool, Firefox can now be used for PDFs!") so they are given a choice of sticking with their current thing, or choosing the shiny new capability that was just added.

If you force Edge to the top of your app preference screens, users are obviously going to see the update and go "Yep, that's Microsoft trying to force their crap on me again". Microsoft's well known behavior of forcing updates on the user has already given it a bad reputation in this regard, and has resulted in court cases in the past.

So yeah, it's not "user stupidity", it's the stupidity of whoever made the decision to promote Edge by shoving it in users' faces all the time including filetype handler updates.

All of this is a non-issue on LTSC, since all the updates are security-only. Regular Windows has "feature" updates every 6 months, which do what you described.

In times of COVID-19, I've seen quite some discussion about what the "R" in CFR stands for. Whatever it stands for, that's the right answer :-)

Case fatality ratio - but not restricted to any interval

Case fatality rate - but doesn't have a time or derivative (rate of change) component, which rates usually have

Case fatality risk - akin to probability, definitely between 0 and 1. That would be my choice.

It's shorter than the word "probability", and somewhat less frequently used, so it could be adopted for this purpose.

Edit to add: Though "accuracyRisk" does seem weird. Better than "accuracyUnitInterval" though maybe.
I was brought up in a Windows environment, from home to school to friends, it was pretty much everywhere. Now that we are so used to it do we realize how horrible Windows OS is, to give an example my Windows 10 continuously asks me to update and then when I try it fails. So I stopped doing it and then they came up with feature updates, the worst it automatically downloads itself even when I have blocked Windows Update service and then asks me to restart my computer to install it. If I leave my computer plugged in and locked which is part of any normal person's workflow, it will automatically restart and then try updating which it fails. No dialog box shows up telling the update failed, no reason why the update failed just that it failed. The cycle then continues again, I wish I could sue them so bad that they will start caring about this kind of stuff.
Slightly off-topic, but it would be an epic april fools joke if Slack actually implemented that just to troll Windows users.

>No, it's not. Copyright doesn't prohibit you from making a copy. //

You're fundamentally wrong.

You should either delete your comment or preface it with a caveat.

See for example section 2, bullet 7 here:

"Exclusive right of authorization" to "the right to _make_ reproductions".

Copyright isn't misnamed, it is essentially about copying.

PowerShell does an okay job at command line discoverability in my experience. When using a cmdlet I'll think "I hope there's an argument for X" and then I can hit tab after '-' and cycle through all the available arguments. As another post mentioned, this unfortunately falls down a bit with cmdlet names themselves because they start with the verb instead of the noun: Get-<tab> isn't helpful the way NetAdapter-<tab> would be.

Every US Congressman has staff who get letters like this everyday. They send them to the appropriate agency, and track them.

Kinda, yeah. At least in the Desktop space it seems like it desperately wants to be and Canonical in particular works to push it in that direction. For instance, it is highly discouraged to install software from outside your distro's repository.
I think it's the opposite way round: normalisation results in units being dropped.

The typical, most common, definition of normalisation is value ÷ max possible value, giving a result in [0,1]. (More general definitions of normalisation exist e.g. if you rescale so the standard deviation is a fixed value, or even use non linear rescaling, that could count, but never mind all that.) The parent comment's example of "position along width ÷ total width" certainly fits that bill.

Whenever you divide something by the max of that something, the max is going to have the same units as the original value and you're bound to end up cancelling them. Or put another way, if you rescale 10cm into 0.5, it's certainly not 0.5cm so the units are either dropped or, at least, changed e.g. you could argue you've got 0.5x where x is the unit equal to 20cm.
