The elephant in the room that 17-313 doesn't addresses is team dysfunction.

You know, the guy who insists on agile when you're about to automate a nuclear reactor cooling system. Or the one who insists on expensive message queue tech when async/await is more than sufficient. The bro that mansplains directed graphs at a PhD because she comitted the cardinal sin of being a woman. The infrastructure manager that micro-manages a developer because that manager was too lazy to stand up the test environment on time.

We all know someone like that, and after 30+ years in this industry it seems it's worse now than it was in the 90's. Back then all we had to contend with was Windows v. Unix and bastard operators from hell(1). Today it's more insiduous. Often well-dressed, veiled in charm and confidence and hiding behind a big pay check because they're adept at managing upwards. I can deal with it, which has another unfortunate side-effect - other developers want me to manage, I just want to write code.

Amusingly (sadly?) these problems(2) were identified in the 80's if not earlier. Books were written about dealing with it (2 and 3, amongst others). But still we allow the behaviour and often organisational/industry culture encourages it (fintech, anyone?).

Apart from actively occupying cyprus, fighting Syria and iraq, fighting armenia and violating nearby economic zones, yes, there s no war, thank god
Ironically, these ultranationalist organisations are linked to NATO's stay-behind anti-communist operations "Operation Gladio[0]" and it is known as "Counter-Guerilla[1]" in Turkey. Italian prosecutor Felice Cassino[2] famously took down its Italy branch but in Turkey there were numerous assassinations and political operations on those who dared to investigate the claims, therefore the organisation was never really destroyed.
Its existence was revealed by leftie prime minister Bulent Ecevit back in the 1970's but the details mostly remain on the speculative side.

That was very helpful. Thank you.
> I do not have a fucking disorder!

From a medical point of view, maybe you don't have a disorder.

From a social point of view, you DO have a disorder and not recognizing it will not make it disappear.

While you have the right to adapt your sleep schedule to your genes, expeting the majority of people not to expect you to be productive at 8.00 AM is anti-social.

As you named them, same goes for homosexuals. They do have the right to leave and love how they wish, but expecting the majority of people not to be insinctively disgusted by your sexual practices is anti-social.

If there is something worse than the tiranny of the majority, it's the tiranny of the minority.
Yeah, my view also is it's likely one of the smaller, less heralded countries. New Zealand a good contender. For the pre-universal democracies, Iceland has a parliament going back a thousand years.
What I am saying is that any conflict between Turks/Azeri and Armenians has everything to do with the genocide.
I would feel significantly more comfortable calling programming an art rather than science or Engineering.

I was an engineer before switching to programming and despite throwing the word Software Engineer in my title, there is no Engineering.

There is developing only.

'best practices' come from Authority, not science(note at bottom). This is a stark contrast to Engineering where everything is proven with math.

(Note)We don't write in logic gates anymore, efficiency is obscure at modern coding levels.
Punish the specific individuals, obviously, even if there are hundreds of them.
The Android ecosystem is great for low cost devices. I have a 5 year old Samsung that still serves me great for what I need it: quick web searches, mapping and Waze, communication etc. The screen is cracked in 200 pieces, I literally stepped on it on multiple occasions, the power button has fallen off but I figured I don't really need it anyway except the rare cases where I leave it to discharge completely. Otherwise the phone is still going strong and has acceptable battery life.

Best 150$ I ever spent, I was going to replace it this year for sheer embarrassment of using such a piece of junk, and then the coronavirus happened and I don't need to physically meet any of my tech-judgmental peers.

Interestingly, I had a very similar issue with my Pixel 3 in the past. The display was just black and it did not responded (I thought). Restarting it displayed the Google logo and then went black again. I was outside at the time, on a sunny day. I thought about this possibility of low brightness setting, but it was so dark that I could really not see anything (even when covering it with hands, getting in a dark corner somewhere), so I thought it must be some other problem. Later when I was back home, in a dark room, I noticed that I could barely see it again. Then just setting the display brightness higher again fixed it.

I'm still not sure though if the brightness was just at the minimal level, and that is just too low outside to see anything, or if it was even lower than usual, similarly as you describe.
At "Try Our WebPage API" I suggest putting a spinning loading animation while waiting for the results.
It depends on your field. In some (biotech for example) it's a prerequisite for an industry career.

Having one in CS myself U can assure you are right for the IT field. Getting this PhD was about personal aspiration rather than career success.

A comment openly promoting racism and deportations - unflagged and obviously not downvoted. Sometimes I feel like losing faith into this community. We are better than this.
> Like one cohort starting at 8 and another starting at 10 or even 11.

What about at 14 or something? 10 or 11 for me is still very inconveniently early.

BTW where I'm from, schools usually start at 9:00. It was a torture for me to get up this early, and I was drowsy for the first couple classes.
Believe me, you _don't_ feel the same way.

People that get theses symptoms have to stay in bed all day, for months. Some can't even cut carrots without needing a 15-30 minutes break.

But the fact is we have now cheap existing clean technologies, with a fast decreasing cost (decreasing cost of energy, and decreasing cost of managing intermittence)...

It does not seems wise to bet that SMR will be cheaper than renewable in 10 to 20 years and wait and pray...

SMR is not a viable option right now. That is an interesting possibility we should study and work on, that could be a good surprise later on, but right now 1) it is not ready 2) we don't know if it will be cost competitive... Putting aside nuclear risks and radioactive waste problem (that are minimized by SMR)
Are you seriously proposing that CO2 be capped per country, as opposed to per capita?

That's a fascinating proposal.

I don't think that will be particularly favorable to the US, though. There are 195 countries in the world, yet the US accounts for 14% of all of the world's emissions.
The US isn't a democracy. Check the results of the 2016 election if you don't believe me....
I try to avoid unnecessary Zoom calls all the time, but man I miss seeing people and asking them how they are. Lots of communication is nonverbal and video fills that gap on an okay level.

WFH doesn't work well for everyone and I noticed that it impacted my work significantly and coming up ways to mitigate this is not simple nor trivial.
> People like you...

I’m not sure there’s any need to cheapen your point by making personal attacks.

I’ve made no mention of political correctness anywhere.

My flawed argument was based on India and China sharing a land border and that shared genetic markers are found on both sides of it.

I’ve been shown convincing evidence elsewhere in the discussion and I’ve conceded that I was wrong.

I’m quite happy to be in the group that takes “raw science” over “common sense” as you put it.
> as they feel we have a good reign on our government

That is probably not the homonym you meant (though it does describe how some feel about the government’s interaction with its citizens).

Rein is something you use to control a horse (or government).

Reign is something a king does.
I have nothing constructive to add but there's definitely a crude/childish joke available with regards that title. It's really the only reason I stopped to look at the paper, which turned out quite interesting.
It's an interesting point. The law actually allows a competent person to work on their own gas systems themselves but doesn't define exactly what that means. I've seen people claim that it only narrowly applies to previously qualified Gas Safe engineers who have allowed their registration to lapse but I think that is a stretch.

Also, I think the idea would be to install an air source heat pump rather than resistive electrical heating.
Reducing fire frequency increases fire severity. There’s no escape from that.

No! It's just the normality, from a statistical point of view.

People have the right to expect statistical normality in other people. Respecting everyone is fundamental, but people cannot be required to anticipate anyone's quirk.

It works most of the time. I have also seen multiple in-place upgrades ending up in weird places. Or some resource having changed API and we had to rush to upgrade the code.

What will you do if that happens?

It's a bit like upgrading Postgres. It's a good idea to at least make a backup before changing the underlying storage.
Hahh hackernews became another echo chamber of westerner stpids, trying to attack an ethnic group they hate and alienate, by ignoring the stuff same-religion ethnic group they feel closest to do. those armenians attacked a group of people at their "peaceful" protests now they will pay for price of their "peaceful" actions. don't do stupid sht, don't get attacked by another people. spreading propaganda even in tech news website is pathetic.
> I care about what Gates says because he's founded one of the world's largest charity organizations

So your criteria for who is and is not worth listening to is "rich man who gives a lot of money to charity." Wealth is not some kind of superior substitute for expertise or insightful ideas. Unfortunately this seems to be a popular delusion today; that does not make it any less stupid.
(Fox) 'It isn't news at all'? You mean you watch it regularly and can therefore vouch for its zero news content? Why would you want to do that and if you don't, how can you make such an evidently uninformed comment? What's the difference between propaganda and literal propaganda?
This isn’t entirely on topic with this thread, but I’ve been shocked by HN’s base reaction to this article. Calling reasonable edits censorship is akin to calling a code review censorship, yet who among us doesn’t participate in code reviews???

Greenwald was not censored, rather he refused to be edited. That’s not journalism, that’s a personality cult. “Journalism” only works when journalists and editors work together - journalists go off, get excited and follow a story; editors keep them connected to publishable truth and article sized bits of context.

Speaking as a former publisher who has edited my share of complex pieces, Greenwald’s original article was poor. He had, I believe 2k words to tell a story, but he chose the wrong 2k words.

I love playing with FPGA. You can get an open cpu like picorv32, add your own instructions, peripherals, tweak the toolchain and you have your own custom stack down to your own cpu instructions. Then you can invoke these from your C program to achieve super fast data processing.
Your story is so much like my partner's, I had to wonder if they had a secret HN account and wrote this post.

With her initial diagnosis of fibro, we were... extremely disheartened to say the least. Professionals and laypeople alike hear that word and generally think of it as a made-up or at least psychosomatic disease.

I get a little bit of that, even from professionals, when I mention ADHD. Multiply that by 10 and that's roughly what we experienced with fibro, when that was their diagnosis.
I was born in Denmark, moved to Germany when I was 6, lived in Germany for 4 years (step-father in American Air Force), moved to U.S, lived in Illinois, Utah, Oregon and California (S.F), have an Italian Wife and spend a good amount of time in Southern Italy, lived in U.S 20+ years, moved back to Denmark 20 years ago.

I agree that there is no difference in the people if you mean that they are all hominids who for the most part speak languages to communicate and eat with their mouths and defecate with their hindquarters.

But otherwise every writer on the matter since Tocqueville seems convinced there are significant differences and I am in agreement, the only person I can think of that agrees with you is Vincent Vega, and he's fictional with an itchy trigger finger.
I feel making a case that they are either a terrorist or just a criminal organisation would be the easiest way to get rid of them outside of turkey. Such cases are really subjective so it shouldn't be that difficult. Just last month a greek far right political party was judged to be a criminal organisation. Grey wolves could share their fate.
Great! Another important topic of discussion derailed by HN's garbage algorithm.

It's #20 now but you can always tell when a post is doomed to oblivion by comparing the upvotes-to-time ratio to other posts on the front page. Unless the mods save it, this should be gone in a few minutes.

I don't like the ideas in most of these comments so far, but I still don't want to suppress this discussion. Let people show themselves for who they really are and what they really think, for good or bad, because we're never going to make any progress unless a discussion can actually happen.
I was going by the UN definition of genocide, according to which Canada also declared it a genocide: https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/genocide.shtml. Cases b,c,d,e all apply here.

With regards to Gitmo, you are again purposefully lying. There are plenty of arabs and muslims living in USA with no problems. We have comedians (Hasan Minaj) making fun of Trump. Which Chinese, let along uighur, can make fun of Xi in China?

Now since we both agreed that the detention camps exist, and also the women of that group are being sterilized against their will, it meets criteria b, and d of the Genocide under the UN charter.

As for my genes, they're full capable of learning and not limited by brainwashing as you have been subjected to. Sorry for you and the rest of the CCP shills.
I always thought there was survival value in some of the tribe being awake at night while others slept. I don't see difference as "disorder".

As a night owl, I feel blessed that I have a flexible work-from-home job. If I was forced to get up at 6-7AM and travel, I'd be sleep-deprived for years. So hopefully with more companies offering permanent WFH options, this is going to become more well-accepted.
You're either a Erdogan shill or plain dumb. You should step up your geopolitics reading game before making comments like this on a public forum.
U.S. culture, at least its inception, is best viewed through a lens of reacting to European culture. Especially in an intellectually-driven anti-aristocratic way. Not the populist anti-aristocratic way of the French Revolution that followed the American Revolution.

That pattern seems to repeat itself as an anti-globalist revolution in the present, and one closer to the French Revolution in some aspects.
They are trouble in Turkey too, key institutions in the country are often a battleground of infiltration between sects and just before the Gulenists, the dominant force in the police was the Grey Wolves. Since the exodus of the Gulenists, the rumors are that Grey Wolves are back in town.

Whoever wins, it usually results of abusing their position for political and financial gains and we learn about what happened after the institution changes hands(For example, only after the battle between Erdogan and the Gulenists, evidence came into light of the police involvement of the assassination of an Armenian Journalist, probably intended as a political manipulation).

Germany should be very careful, having loyalty to an external charismatic leader and acting as an organisation within an organisation is unfortunately commonplace among Turks. They are not majority but tend to be the more passionate ones.

Wow thanks...looks like an exciting course (at least from the video titles)
Hmm, I will have to keep this in mind.
It's different for different people, so the answer is, find out what the other person wants and give that.

In my case, give me nothing, no sympathy, no opportunities to talk, no anything. I deal with stuff by not thinking about it, tuning it out. If someone tries to 'help' with suggestions, they're forcing me think about it and the huge chunk of my life I've lost to it. That hurts deeply.

So, find out first. If someone wants to talk they will, if not, don't bring it up.

Generally speaking, don't offer fucking stupid suggestions ("have you seen a doctor?"). Don't tell me repeatedly doing X is the right thing to do when I know it will make things worse (happens rarely but is very annoying).

Don't offer me psychic healing, or offer to pray for me (unless you've found that that person is open to that. I am not and it will infuriate me).

HTH!
One of the things I've learned, in as much as
I can, is I don't tell anyone. I'd rather be
rude than explain I'm in pain

I learned this lesson with ADHD as well. Most people will roll their eyes and think it's a simple lack of discipline. The rest give you advice, which is even worse.

I learned to communicate my needs to people, instead of my diagnosis. Example: "I have trouble focusing on my work in crowded areas - could I work in [some other location] when I'm not pairing?" instead of "I can't work here, I have ADHD." (Not that I ever put it that way, but you know what I mean)

But pain is a different story. I don't know how you would even explain that to people without getting all of the unwanted and unhelpful advice...
It might be a construct but it's not fictional? The very "subscribing to" the social order is what makes it real. There are very real (social) consequences for people who go against the grain too much.
He's a liberal so he just assumes everyone knows Fox News is nonsense. His worry is that the liberal media outlets are practicing their own forms of lying.

Of course the US has a pole position in Covid deaths. It has pole positions in countless statistics because of its 330 million population. Belgium,UK, Peru,Spain,Italy,Sweden and Chile all have higher per capita deaths from Covid.
I wish people would make more of a distinction between software engineering and software architecture/whatever is currently fashionable. The former is about customers and the latter about the people who write software, and as a customer I feel like almost no software has any concern for me or my hardware. Huge sizes (both in RAM and disk), constant CPU usage and all of this for no reason other than it's convenient or pleasing for software developers.

How do we build tools that are pleasing for software developers to use, while using resources efficiently and meeting the requirements? Can we start having that discussion instead of docker, microservices, kubernetes, etc?
The article talks about different papers. The newest paper is about the mechanism of the molecular clock, but the one that found the mutation is "Mutation of the Human Circadian Clock Gene CRY1 in Familial Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder" from 2017.

The mutation is described in that last paper as "CRY1 c.1657+3A>C".

I'm a pretty bad night owl, so I'm currently trying to figure out whether my 23andme data can tell me anything about that locus.

update: I think the CRY1 gene location is chromosome 12, position range 106,991,364 - 107,093,872, and I guess the "1657" is an offset from either the start or the end. But I don't seem to have any raw 23andme data (genotyping chip v2) in that range. On the other hand, I do get some SNPs if I search for "CRY1" via their website, so I'm obviously doing something wrong.
Actually no, they did me the favor of reinstalling my cracked screen before giving it back to me.
Not sure when this happened, but many credit cards offer an additional year of warranty protection if you purchase electronics on them. I had a $750 motherboard replacement reimbursed on a MacBook recently when it was 2 months out of warranty. Worth looking into!
Look at the Rotherham scandal where police and politicians shielded "asian" rape gangs for years (allegedly) out of fear of being perceived as racist. Turkey's geo-political role in the US empire (and subsequent NATO membership) plays a role, but it's not the primary driver.
Imagine a world where no one would want to take the night shift.

I always thought Early Bird/Night Owl were just two different modes, like right or left handedness.

But while right and left handedness appear to be +/- selectively neutral (these days at least), a percentage of night owls in society would appear to confer a selective advantage.

Having a potential oral medication would give night owls a new superpower: An ability to switch shifts at the drop of the hat; or at least much more easily than the early birds.

In industrial programming you often need to take the customer's shifts into account; so this could be useful to a few colleagues of mine!
