I don’t have time for argument war, but same thing is with coding/vim/emacs/everything other courses on youtube from people that just started to learn them.

If you’re learning and trying to learn others at the same time will you take responsibility for passing on bad knowledge and your own mistakes? It takes years to get solid grasp of professional wisdom and experience in specific field. Without it, we have people who think git is too hard...

If you want to learn, learn from the best. Don’t get me wrong, I know that many people advise to write such thing to make yourself recognizable, but don’t start from learning others. :)

Increasing prices on top-of-the-line iPhones beg to differ.
I once did a two-day workshop on negotiation techniques, which covered not only methods but also helped me to become more comfortable dealing with the psychological stress that's induced in many negotiation situations. So far I'd say the course (which was free as I won it as a prize in a business plan competition) is directly responsible for at least 50-100.000 € of additional revenue that I made in the last years, simply because I negotiated more effectively.

I'd highly recommend honing this skill as it will also help you as an employee, as even small gains in salary can add up to quite a lot of money over the years. For freelancers and entrepreneurs negotiation is also important of course and will greatly help you.
The relevant piece for most people to know is that based on data from a short time period, people were 20x less likely to get symptomatic COVID if they get the vaccine. The exact number will probably change a bit as more time goes by and more data comes in, but 20x is the ballpark.

Things we still don't know:

- Does the vaccine also stop you from contracting the virus asymptomatically and spreading it? People enrolled in the trial were only told to get tested if they showed symptoms.

- How long does the immunity from the vaccine last? We won't know this for some time.
Blast radius really depends on just how dedicated you are. Yes, it's true that even a low or medium end gaming PC is going to have a much larger power source that can contribute to the fireworks if a small explosive is properly placed & detonated. PC enthusiasts will often point to this in order to support their choice of gaming hardware.

This ignores the realities of modern day explosives, or even what can be cobbled together from household items. Any discernable difference between a PC & console all but disappears if they're detonated with even a modest explosive.

Context matters as well: A PC is more likely to be in a clearer zone, at the very least for better ventilation. A console on the other hand is much more likely to be in an area that is more densely populated with other consumer electronics. The television alone is likely to be sufficiently large to make a more impressive field of debris than a PC.

Obviously this is just taking the typical setups into account. All bets are off when dealing with a PC that has some truly exotic cooling mechanisms. Detonation under those conditions should, at minimum, be accompanied with evacuation orders for neighbors within a 3 to 4 block radius of your home.
It's a good point about 50% of profits; that 30% revenue share is crazy - even the government don't attempt to tax businesses on their revenue...

Depending on the business 30% could make the whole enterprise operate at a loss, for example selling audiobooks or media or other real world products.
Two thumbs up for Refactoring by Fowler. Exactly. Even if you already know know the 300 odd refactorings he documents... The fact that his names let you talk about them with your team or more easily treat them as abstractions is a powerful win. That book is one of the best investments you can make.

I would be amazed if Linux runs better on M1 laptops than on Intel ones.

As far as I know there Linux driver support for Intel Macs is abysmal, due to lack of support from Apple.

I would be shocked if ARM Macs, which will probably be even more locked down, were more open somehow.

Pilots have been relying on software to fly commercial planes for ages.

When a pilot is given clearance to land they punch numbers into the flight computer corresponding to the airport and approach. The plane will automatically line up with the correct runway. The glideslope will also tell the plane where it needs to be as it is descending.

The planes are also able to land themselves. Pilots are there to make people feel comfortable and handle rare edge cases. They will be monitoring the autopilot at all times.

> You can write the perfect email, and there will always be someone who will misinterpret it. The problem is not merely in the content, but in the other (including their worldview, culture, social status, etc).

Without a doubt the first sentence is true. Successful written communication requires properly encoding the information (writing) and properly decoding it (reading). A flawed reading of an email means communication breaks down independent of the quality of the writing.

The second is also true, but incomplete. In many cases, there is a failure to read (either because of laziness or "I already know what he's going to say") or a language issue - even for native English speakers. It's not at all uncommon for someone to miss a "not", think "and" rather than "or", interpret "weeks" as "days" and so on.

Edit: One story that comes to mind is related to a policy our department was implementing a number of years ago. I sent an email with what I thought was minor supporting information. I got an angry reply of six paragraphs, totally irate that I would suggest something so crazy, listing all the ways I was wrong. I responded to say "I think you read my first sentence wrong." The response: "Oops!"

When hanging out with friends online (and when doing something else such that we don't need video) I've been using Mumble for voice chat. Not sure about the other "gaming" voice chat software as I haven't really used it, but I've found Mumble's latency at least to be miles ahead of the videoconferencing software I've had to use for work.

Makes me wish I could have work meetings there, honestly.

An old POTS landline would be nice too, but my understanding is a lot of landlines now are basically VoIP anyway.
Now the question is ... how long are people's memories? This isn't the first time Boeing has been in this position, and they came back just fine.

My guess is that people will forget very quickly. The planes will be rebranded to de-emphasize the MAX name, and flying will return to normal in 2021. Boeing will benefit from the cluster of a year 2020 has been. People have had plenty of distractions since the crashes.
This is where it ends up. Alabama salaries will rise, but SF salaries will plummet.
Sometimes these things happen quite randomly. You'd think that a big company like IBM would have a long line of people ready to take on a juicy project like this, but at the time, all of those people were tied up with more pressing work (customer commits, a high-profile performance project, etc).

Also, I've clearly glossed over a bunch of details but I wasn't hired as a team lead. That being said when management saw that I was capable of driving the team (mostly) on my own, they progressively stepped back further and further until I was essentially running the team. This was over the course of a few years, which I've compressed in the writeup.

All that to say that career ladders aren't fixed, and if you find yourself in the right place at the right time, you can bypass a lot of the traditional ladder climbing.
Neither.

Early in your career, yes. As you dig deeper they become available only in university libraries and then not even there.

Most material is available for free on the internet, but like most open source material, you have to compile it yourself and that takes time. Good books save you the time by including important dependencies, normalizing notation, etc.

Probably. And we all know what Boeing will prioritise to minimise these losses when faced with the chance of these two options: making a demonstratively better and safer plane which increases profits or reducing costs.
I should have been more specific that my comment was about defending a super expensive asset like an aircraft carrier. I am pretty sure it’s cheaper to destroy an aircraft carrier vs building it. It also takes very long time to replace one. In world war 2 it showed that cheaper mass produced weapons usually were superior to expensive super high tech weapons in the long run.
I hate the video call latency. I feel like the major apps are overoptimizing on video smoothness. I wish they would have the guts to deliver choppy artifact-laden video but with < 100ms latency.

“In today’s news Apple announced the opening of its iOS platform to allow users to install any apps they want from any alternative App Store. Posters on ycombinator.com denounced the move as a cynical attempt to generate positive PR.

"what's going on in the world"

Just triggered a thought - what's so special about "what's going on in the world", especially when the majority of what people focus on with social media will never affect them and at best is the equivalent of local gossip.

Only now, because of the wonders of the Internet and social media, mundane crap from the opposite side of the planet can now feel local too.
No, I’m not. In Italy it’s common to see markups of 600% on veggies at the supermarket.

There are few intermediaries and they get to dictate prices, mandatory discounts, and run double-discounted auctions (which the legislature is trying to make illegal.) If you get to outsmart them selling to another distributor (as if they’re not conniving already) good luck selling your next load of perishable goods before it rots.

Also brick & mortar shops make hideous markups to cover for their poor selection, inventory and commercial space rent (so sure, it doesn’t line only their pockets but for the final consumer it doesn’t make much difference.)

Show HN: Breathing Tips – interactive breathing exercises
Hi! I worked on this as a side project because I wanted to test the new web based 3D engine - https://www.babylonjs.com/. It quickly grew into something I actually wanted to do for a while - a free, easy to use, and beautifully visualized breathing techniques app. Recently I moved the project to this new domain - https://breathing.tips and refactored a bit so that it's super easy to add new tips with minimal HTML skills. I’ve been sharing it with people on reddit and I'm getting pretty positive feedback so far, so I decided to share it here as well. Let me know what you like (or not). Here's what I think is cool about it:

- Free & open source

- Minimalistic and easy to use. No apps, no logins, no charts

- Looks great on both mobile and desktop

The most popular tips, it seems, are the anxiety and relaxation ones. What other technique would you like to see?

If that was indeed your intent, it definitely didn't sound like that in your post, which came across as unwarranted conspiracy theory BS.

You could have gotten your point across better without insinuating negative intent, i.e. "As someone unfamiliar with the reporting process, can someone more familiar with the process explain how Pfizer's effectiveness number went from 90% just recently to 95% today? Thanks in advance."
I think it depends if Apple M1 and Raspberry Pi ARM are compatible. I can imagine that open-source projects will work on trying to get it going under ARM so it can be used on Apple Sillicon Macs as you can't emulate x86 on them.

A side-effect of the above is that the projects will also support other ARM-based chipsets, such as Raspberry Pi's

Full-scale wars are not started by accident, certainly not when 3 or 4 countries involved have nuclear weapons, not least North Korea itself.

If anything North Korea developing its own nuclear arsenal took war off the table. That was the point, although full-scale war was probably already off the table, but a more limited action to topple the regime probably wasn't.

It's borderline madness to suggest otherwise.
Some Math Problems Seem Impossible. That Can Be a Good Thing
> I would be 100% comfortable flying the MAX if they either added a third AoA sensor or removed MCAS altogether

You prefer a plane that stalls?
Oh dang yeah I took it literal.
Usually, I prefer to investigate a bug starting from the code rather than the history, if it's possible. In my experience, most bugs have taken longer to reproduce repeatedly than to understand from code. Besides, there's no guarantee that a bisect will land at the right commit if the bug is not reliably reproducible.

But I have been in situations where I had to manually bisect the code because I just couldn't understand how the code could reproduce the problem, and having git bisect would have been a significant help.
Almost every aircraft used in countries' air forces are not carrier compatible.

And while the US Navy is effectively like...the third? largest "air force" in the world, the very few other countries that even have fixed wing carrier naval aviation assets to begin with would be lucky to have a few dozen fighters at most.

I see most carrier projects as a prestige item at this point. They aren't completely useless (yet), but I don't think their return on value during an active shooting war against a peer state is worth it.

If South Korea was serious about using their proposed carriers in the manner you mention, they'd be replacing their remaining F-35A order with F-35Bs.

China is also in a position where it can use carriers like how the US uses them - as a big stick to punish third world countries that can't fight back. Most other countries aren't in that position.
Provide an officially-sanctioned way to install alternative software sources.

macOS has that; Apple will even certify third party developers so that the system can still validate software outside of the Mac App Store. That kind of security model would be perfect for iOS and would moot pretty much all the substantive parts of Epic's complaint.
Agreed. I have made it a rule now that instead of struggling for weeks figuring out something new I will spend two days on a Pluralsight or Udemy course to get some fundamentals first.

Tbh if the company where I am would pay the same no matter where you're located I'd go live in a flat Bucharest for 1/3 of the cost I have now and probably buy 10 2 bedroom flats there in 10 years and then retire. If my wife would be able to do the same we'd retire in 6-7 years tops.

If I still have to be in the same country I could leave the London area and move up north for a fraction of the cost.

> These aren’t businesses. These are websites. [...] Not everyone can build a business. That involves marketing, advertising, customer acquisition, cash flow management, legal, on and on.

Incorrect. The word business is defined simply as "the practice of making one's living by engaging in commerce." or "a person's regular occupation, profession, or trade."

A kid with a lemonade stand has a business. My dad ran a plumbing business that did zero marketing or advertising and had no regular lawyer. According to your definition neither of these are businesses.

Gee, you know come to think of it - Knowing who your customers are is marketing, talking/blogging about your business (however small it is) is advertising, accepting cash and knowing what's in your bank account is cash flow management and avoiding breaking any laws is legal. So, whichever way you look at it - you're wrong.
