Eye tracking is already live in production.

Had the joy to see some contractors at work. The webcam is recording 24/7 to ensure their face is in front of the screen.

If the employee looks away for a second, the screen flashes something about no user being present.

If somebody else shows up in the field of view, for example me walking by, the screen flashes something about an unauthorized user.

The session is locked out after a few notifications.

i had a pay per use plan more than a decade ago. i liked it because the competition all had capped plans that cost the same as my pay-per use would if i reached that cap. and if i didn't, then i paid less. the service also allowed me to set my own cap so that i would not accidentally go over a chosen spending limit (and it allowed me to change the cap at any time)
I don't understand why news sites do not add references and footnotes to their articles. I have been working on an idea for a site that makes "mind maps" of a graph of facts inside of news articles to show how conclusions are reached. However, I think the average person's critical reasoning skills would not appreciate this and just believe what they want to hear.
> How many people know how to make a good argument or how to spot one?

Even if you could spot "good" arguments that really isn't enough without knowing that it's also made in good faith. If the person making an argument doesn't actually believe what they're saying, is arguing with a particular outcome, or is arguing with an ulterior motive like flame-bait then you also shouldn't bother engaging them even if it's well-formed.

I would take a bad argument made in good faith every time over the reverse. People who speak genuinely but are passionate, emotional, or aren't the best at expressing themselves can have productive conversations. Someone who's arguing to win isn't worth your time.
If that’s not something the employee agreed to up front and they aren’t compensated for it, it may very well be abuse of the employer-employee power dynamic.

Asking an employee to suddenly work all weekend when they don’t have the expectation and potentially aren’t in a situation to say no would certainly be considered an abuse of power (what if they miss their kid’s birthday).

I coach all of my employees that they own their time. I can’t ask them to work late or work more days, because I don’t own them.

It is my job as a leader to ensure that their time is protected, and I’ve pushed back on management multiple times when last minute changes were requested and my team would need to work more to fill that request. I put myself in the line of fire and say that I don’t have the capacity in my team to fulfill that without cutting work.

I ask my team to tell me if I ever overstep and they feel uncomfortable saying no when they really want to.

I also encourage all of my employees to interview outside the team/company so they know their worth and understand that they have the ability to leave if they ever feel our power dynamic is being abused and I don’t do anything to fix it.

Leaders can effectively manage teams and deliver on vision without abusing the employer-employee power dynamic. It makes leadership more difficult since you have less flexibility in the capacity of your team (capped at 40 hrs/week and can’t suddenly expand to 80 hrs/week), but it makes for better teams and happier people.

Getting Reddit hobbyists onboard is a kind of trial by fire.

I have seen this work many times for YT channels on cooking, comedy and car subreddits, but make one mistake and they will eat you alive. The likes of RCR, Babish, Kenji, Gus Johnson,etc. only got popular because their offerings were incredibly high quality. Additionally they all brought something fresh to a relative stale scene.

Additionally, if you come off as even 1% inauthentic, then you are toast.

Enthusiasts can be the harshest people out there, if your creds are considered invalid. But, if you are building a product for enthusiasts, then you likely are one too. In that situation, it makes sense to build credibility and become a regular there. By the time you are willing to 'show off' you product, you're already deeply rooted in that community.

So I'll revise the OP's advice. Once your product ready, reach out to your preexisting reddit network to help it get past the bootstrapping problem. Any sooner and you'll lose redditors for life.
I think the parent commenter meant as a selectable runtime at deployment time (i.e. directly supported), rather than requiring the bring-your-own-runtime setup that is currently required.

That's what mholt said as well: It's the site maintainers task to fix it. Yet caddyserver.com still doesn’t support it.

I didn’t actually find the bug myself, someone else did first, but it’s something that’s been annoying me for quite a bit.

> You bring it up on every thread on HN that ever has a mention of Caddy. It's very annoying.

It’s definitely a red flag something people should know before using caddy, as it’s a sign caddy will also interpret other specs funnily.

But that's not a feature primarily for management, it's a feature for the document creator.

When you send around slides or a doc, there are times when it's actually pretty useful to see who took a look or not -- so if it's important you can ping them. It's not perfect, but it helps.

Privacy-wise it's not a whole lot different from being able to see who's currently viewing the document, which has existed forever.

By the way, I called customer service for a company (not amazon), and the first message was "This call will be recorded for quality and training purposes"...

No. The reaction happens in water, it’s fairly slow, the mixture needs to be agitated, and it would require similar quantities of silicates to the among of hydrocarbons being burned. Better to ignore capture at the source and instead prioritize mass-capture in places that are energy efficient. Shallow coastal areas near major deposits.

But most games nowadays actively avoid that! They make you control Geralt or Solid Snake or Master Chief or whatever. You know, someone cooler than you could ever possibly be. They introduce third person cutscenes if the game isn't already 3rd person by default. You can't choose what to say or are very limited in what or how you say it. You pursue someone else's goals.

Half Life 1 is one of the few games that got it right, but does it have imitators? A silent protagonist is something to be ashamed of nowadays.

This is a splendid analogy.

I ride a motorcycle. In the motorcycle version of Driver's Ed, they taught us to simply think of changing gears as the same motions you'd make to wring out a wet cloth. Thinking that way automatically improves the timing and flow.

Once you've practiced enough, you simply stop thinking about any part of the gear changing steps. You don't even need the speedometer or tachometer when gearing up or down anymore because you already know how it sounds and feels. It becomes a subconscious process.

But that initial visualization of wringing out a washcloth makes it really easy to figure out. Soon enough, you have muscle memory and don't have to think about it - you just do it.
Realistically, three of those 5 points are non-issues for C/C++ devs. The last is only relevant for certain types of workload. So you’re left with one real killer-feature of Rust: the safety. It’s a massive feature that cascades very well into pretty much anything you do... but it’s also one feature really - the benefits of which might not be particularly relevant on large established projects who have probably addressed that problem a long time ago (in their own ad-hoc ways). So the cost-benefit analysis of moving an existing codebase from C/C++ to Rust is not exactly a slam-dunk.

For greenfield, though, my feeling is that one should justify why not using Rust, at this point (when building stuff that was previously the realm of C/C++, of course). If it’s just because of unfamiliarity and initial slow speed of development (as people learn it), it becomes an issue of institutional laziness more than a technical choice.
Good list.

Large scale castings are also tricky. You can't cast a rectangular prism and get good results. As the metal freezes (solidifies), it shrinks. You'd end up with a very poor surface finish at best, and chunks missing at worst. The shrinkage needs to be made up for with some additional molten metal.

The fix is pretty simple though. You need directional solidification, meaning the freezing starts on one end and moved towards the other. If you apply a draft angle of 1 degree or so to the parallel faces, you will have enough difference in dimensions to get directional solidification working fine.

>That way you don't need any special equipment and you can use whatever Aluminium you can get your hands on. Hell, you can even recycle Aluminium cans.

I'd advise against mixing alloys, but you may still be alright to get something, but it will be worthless if you try to recycle it again. Mixed scrap fetches far less than sorted scrap when you try to sell it. E.g. Some alloys might allow 1-2% copper, while others require <0.01% copper. Each pound of type 1 mixed with type 2 requires lots of pig (pure aluminum, no alloying elements) to be added to get the proportions back to something you can legally call whatever alloy you're targeting.

Aluminum cans aren't a wonderful source for things like this because they contain a thin plastic film on the inside to prevent the liquid contained from having its flavor tainted. Normal recycling processes handle this fine, but cannot handle the plastic labels added on many small brewery cans. Those should be cut off prior to recycling.

------

Side note - It is incredibly energy intensive to mine bauxite, refine it through an electrolysis process into alumina, and finally alloying it into your preferred type of aluminum. It recycles incredibly well though. Recycling 1 ton of aluminum saves about 95% of the energy compared to new aluminum. This 95% savings is about 14,000 kWh. The energy intensity is part of why Iceland houses 4 smelters. With nearly 100% of electricity production coming from hydroelectric, they have incredibly cheap electricity, and it's economically viable for the likes of Alcoa, Rio Tinto, and Century Aluminum to haul bauxite ore from around the world to a tiny country with almost no manufacturing base, process it, then haul it around the world to its final destination.

I do some work in this space. Not this exact stuff, but adjacent. Are there some employers out there using this to evaluate employees? Maybe, but not smart ones. It won't work. I haven't seen anyone do this, although I suppose I have heard of companies checking # hours connected to a vpn to get a sense for when people are working. Take whatever opinion on that you like.

the reason people are doing this is because leaders of an org don't know how their business works, and they would like to. They're wary of people getting trapped in endless meetings and not actually accomplishing anything. Which makes it extra funny that the reactionary opinion in these threads seem to be "Better make a bunch of fake meetings and emails to look productive!".
It really sucks on HN that users like you who get past a particular karma threshold hold down users who have legitimate curious questions. It incentivizes not having unpopular discussions, and really turns me off to the site entirely. So could you please not?

This isn't a facetious statement. I'm trying to keep this on topic: AWS loves Rust, so maybe I should, too. Could we have a discussion about why?

The mechanism you're using is probably one of the most irritating features on HN and Reddit to me.

>when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.

I see this get thrown around a lot but it's not really true. If a metric can be gamed then I agree it's a flawed or poor metric, but there are definitely good metrics that make good targets as well.

Concrete example: I used to work in aircraft maintenance putting Search and Rescue aircraft into the sky to go pull people out of lakes or out of crevasses, etc. One of our KPIs/metrics was the number of hours spent in what's called the "Red" state, i.e. you have no serviceable aircraft that can fly if a callout happens, meaning the region is lacking airborne SAR assets.

There isn't really a way to (legally) game this metric. Either your aircraft is serviceable or it's not. The only way you could cheat is to just lie on your statistics and release aircraft for missions that are actually not serviceable, but that's going to bite you in the ass sooner or later, would require a conspiracy of 10+ people to lie on official airworthiness documents, and doing so is a federal crime not to mention a big ethical no-no.

Our monthly target was zero. I.e. we tried to go each month keeping at least one serviceable aircraft at all times. We only hit that target a few times while I was in that job but it was rewarding, and on months where the Red indicator was particularly large I would drill down with senior staff to determine if it was an anomaly or if there was a trend starting, and we'd address it.

And yet it's still a good measure because it's directly measuring what was our primary objective (i.e. can you put aircraft in the sky to carry out rescue missions or can you not?)
Why? Because it was installed illegally.

Change the law, and/or file an injunction to stop it's removal if that is your wish.

But I firmly believe that The Rule of Law matters in our country.

Specific to this case, it's not an organization, it's a federal law. And whimsy might bring cheer to you and I, but it does not really belong in federal law.
Love the approach of looking at media through the lens of information theory.

A main point seems to be that free media is important.

It’s interesting to consider that the existence of google/craigslist/facebook destroyed the means by which the media used to fund their own existence and hire competent people with a high salary (now these people work in other areas of the economy and are compensated for their communication skills).

In an economy like this, we have no functioning media, therefore democracy is at risk.

I absolutely agree. I have been tempted to buy the logical fallacies and critical thinking posters from The Thinking Shop[1] as gifts for certain family members, but I know too much of my motivation comes from the self-centered position of wanting to prove I'm right, which I didn't want to perpetuate.

Instead I just read through the posters and ended up recognizing several items I probably need to work on myself. The cognitive biases are especially tricky, and it seems the more we learn about neuroscience the more reasons we have to distrust our own thinking!

Totally fair to critique me as a marketer (though that's not really what I do. The only time I've had a true marketing title was when I ran marketing at MongoDB), but I don't think some of the other criticism sticks. We've been contributing to Apache Lucene and Solr (which feed into Elasticsearch), as well as Elasticsearch, for a long time. See, eg, https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/amazon-giving-back-a....

As for Headless Recorder, we're working with Tim now. That was a miss on our part, one that I (and the team involved) regret. But I don't regret you and others calling us out when you feel we've done wrong. AWS is not a perfect company, but I've been gratified that people here (in my experience) want to do the right thing. Sometimes we need help figuring out what's right in a given situation (or, rather, what's the right way to help customers. Increasingly you'll see teams understanding that more upstream contributions might be the best way to help customers in the medium- and long-term, even when it's not necessarily the obvious way to help them in the short-term). So please keep helping us do better.

But how? They need what little money they have to set up their industries in the first place, it’s not a reasonable request especially in light of how currently developed countries didn’t have to deal with any of that when they first industrialized in addition to ruthlessly exploiting the subcontinent for their benefit. It’s an affirmative action of sorts that will benefit everyone until they’re up to par. China is getting there and I presume the other countries will get there eventually.

Debatable. Java's dominance in the data engineering space rests a bit on clay feet: it's unsuitable for scientific computing in a number of ways: for example you can neither write fast nor clean numerical code in java and it does not interface naturally with the languages that people do write numerical code in. This is not an absolute deal breaker, but it adds friction. Also, serveral big data tools like cassandra (scylladb), kafka (redpanda) etc. have basically already been rewritten in C++ not least because they suffer from java-typical performance problems (even if those problems are not necessarily inherent in the choice of java). But C++ is not a very attractive language to write code in if there are viable alternatives, because it is objectively unpleasant and expensive to use (long compile times, terrible build and packaging eco-system, high cognitive load, difficulty of avoiding undefined behavior, etc.). Rust shares some of these defects and has some of its own, but it also offers substantial benefits for some types of problems that seem relevant to data engineering and crucially it interfaces more naturally with Fortran, C++ and Python than Java does. So I think it has a chance to gradually make inroads.
