Why don't you give it a try?

Think of it like a proof of concept. You don't just write perfect code every single time you sit down, right? Sometimes you write something and test whether it'll work. Sometimes you find it works, other times it doesn't.

I encourage people to try to do the same with their life.

I was always of the mind "Meditation is some kind of stupid mumbo jumbo and it's dumb and a waste of time"

I now meditate, because I tried it and realized it was helping me.

You don't have to go into some idea thinking this is the rest of your life, it's not, you can try something, see if it helps you or you enjoy it. If you aren't enjoying it or you don't see it actually helping you then stop and do something different.

> Assess whether they’ll accept help

This is the big one for me.

Previously I had such an under performer on my team. When presented with concrete examples of where he was falling short of expectations he simply would not accept that he wasn't doing a great job.

I and another very experienced and well regarded manager tried to break through to him and help him but all three times it ended with him getting angry and making crazy excuses.

It seemed he simply could not admit that he needed to improve in some key areas and in the end I had to replace him.
"An analytics product that doesn't track people" is nonsensical. It's like "water that isn't wet".

Are you Finnish? I'm really curious what happened to all those hardware and electrical engineers developing phones for Nokia/Microsoft before they went bust, respawned as HMD, packed up and moved their production and R&D to China.

Did they pivot to other industries in Finland? If so, which industries? Were they valued as much in the other industries or did they take significant pay cuts? Or did they have to pack up and move elsewhere where they would be valued? If so, where?

I'm asking since I met a few ex-Nokia people looking for work in Switzerland/Germany/Austria years ago.

If anyone knows more I'd like to find out please.
Emotional empathy is good because it means that we can readily understand and feel other people's emotions. This is vital for those in caring professions, such as doctors and nurses, to be able to respond to their patients appropriately. It also means that we can respond to friends and others when they are distressed.
RAID is not a backup solution, its an uptime solution.

I know. Doesn't change the fact there exist no sensible way to backup a decently sized pool in a home-user scenario.

Now we might disagree on what is sensible. And some things might not need a backup.
The G Suite (now Google Workplace) admin console GUI is also pretty slow. What makes it worse is that you have no other choice - it's the only complete tool for administrating G Suite. There are APIs for some things, but quite a lot is only available in the GUI, and new features always show up there first (if they ever make it to the API at all).

There isn't even a way to import/export settings, so you have to painstakingly document everything and reconfigure it manually if you need to create a new instance. It makes things pretty painful from a compliance point of view.
I never said Safari was open source.

What I did say is that Chromium was based on WebKit and then a fork of WebKit, blink.

Let’s not credit Google for Chromium without recognizing that it was Apple’s open source work that made it possible.

To suggest that WebKit isn’t open makes no sense at all. It may not have a governance model or development processes people like, but the fact that the source is open and has been used to build competitor products and has been forked means that it is unquestionably open source.
I admit I'm a bit confused by this statement. To me it reads as saying a platform everyone posted to but no one ever read would be a good thing, basically twitter as cat > dev/null.

No thanks, the pre alpha test can do other people. On top of it you still have to wear the mask it doesn't stop you spreading the virus. It just reduces the severity for the people vaccinated.
> How will they verify that individuals have been vaccinated if the government doesn't supply that information?

Should public authorities keep a record of whether or not you've been vaccinated?

Vaccination is a medical procedure. As such, whether someone is or isn't vaccinated could be considered a private matter (patient-doctor confidentiality), just like any other medical treatment.

If vaccination became mandatory, we'd have a different discussion. But if it's not, a public government has little argument to keep a record about your medical history, and, even less so, divulge that information to private actors.

Can private actors - venues, hotels, restaurants,... - force someone to divulge medical information?

No. They can't. They could ask, but you're not obliged to answer anything related to your medical history.

Could they refuse entrance if you refuse to provide medical information?

I'm curious when the first legal cases will pop up where someone decides to take a venue to court because they were actively refused entrance over being unwilling to divulge medical information.

California is actively looking for ways to extract more money from Elon.

It likely posed an appreciable risk to his business ventures that CA at some point will try to tax unrecognized capital gains, which would require him to liquidate shares to pay the tax. Basically akin to a hostile government takeover.

If CA were to aggressively pursue such a policy, they would likely go after anyone they perceived as fleeing just ahead of it.

In a situation like that, best to cut ties from the state as much as possible as soon as possible. This is why he had to sell all his CA assets.

Honestly, I think letting people include their own code is good, people will always want to do things that you couldn't have imagined yet, and for their own good reasons.

However, you need to make sure the platform can eventually catch up with the de-facto standards people are coming up with, so that people don't keep having to keep on re-inventing these wheels. As a comparison, see how JavaScript features evolved from jQuery and Underscore features.

> But I think the mindset is to stop thinking the website for just the browser.

I agree. I'd suggest that you think through how you can convince people to stop thinking about the website as just for the browser.

In the last decade, many people might have thought that the rise of the mobile web would made web developers separate presentation from content. But instead of using the same HTML with different stylesheets, what actually happened is every major website started maintaining two completely separate websites, one for web and one for mobile! I'd recommend thinking about why this happened, to make sure your framework doesn't nudge people down the same route.

Again, wishing you success!

I generally agree with you, but I doubt YT did a significant amount of damage compared to all the mainstream news coverage of Trump himself.

If Trump were a no-name fringe conspiracist, YT could be blamed for amplifying him. But he has Twitter, every news org, and his campaign's mailing list that (combined) are probably far more influential.

I'm not sure what accents on letters have to do with being proud of one's heritage.
This is an important point. For this to work, step 0 is: have a functioning business. That’s what gives you the opportunity to then change the curve on your cash flow.

Another factor is your vendors. The cable business expanded (and expanded into) an existing ecosystem: tv mfrs, film studios etc. The restaurant already had vendors it could afford to lend 300K up front knowing that they would deliver reliably over the next four months. Also an operating business.

Likewise Amazon.

But the Ubers etc start without a viable business. In fact they start by skimming the cream of an existing market. The problem is, you get good at what you do. If you don’t build a viable business it becomes harder and harder to move your company into that mode as the environment changes.

For perspective, here are some examples of other data structures in the past 35 years that are fundamentally new. (I am only including data structures that differ significantly from their predecessors)

B-epsilon trees: These allow asymptotic speedups for insert/update/delete operations on search trees in external memory (Introduced in 2002 by the paper, Lower Bounds for External Memory Dictionaries)

Cache-Oblivious B-Trees: This is an external-memory search tree that exhibits optimal behavior on a cache with any (possibly unknown) cache-size and cache-line size parameters. (Introduced in 2000 by the paper Cache-Oblivious B trees)

Fusion trees: This allows for search operations in a small binary tree (i.e., a tree whose size is polynomial in the machine word size) to be performed in constant time, rather than logarithmic time. (Introduced in 1990 by the paper Blasting through the Information Theoretic Barrier with Fusion Trees.)

Cuckoo hashing: This is a hash table design introduced in 2001. In 2009, the paper De-amortized Cuckoo Hashing showed how to make all operations in Cuckoo hashing take truly constant time with high probability. This remains (as far as I know) the only known technique for guaranteeing constant-time operation for a hash table without the use of bit manipulation tricks or the method of four Russians.

These are just examples off the top of my head. I'm sure there are many more.

I would like to see an update for this for SSDs. The devices are black boxes of mystery, possibly likely to fail nearly simultaneously (at least in terms of being unable to write). Early on we left 20% if capacity unformatted to allow more wear leveling, but running them in RAID1 seemed both necessary and likely to cause synchronous errors. RAIDZ1 over three disks might be okay. Obviously huge R/W bandwidth so resilvering doesn't take long.

Also, it isn't mentioned, but having the ZIL on battery backed flash can give huge improvements in IOPS to anything, and is far more valuable than extra TB or spindles.
When you mention excessive regulations you might want to look at all regulations, not just cherry pick one of them to make a point.

Yeah, the regulation seems silly, but presumably it's a trite inconvenience compared to California shutting down various Tesla operations. Certainly we can't conclude from this one example that Texas and California are comparable with respect to "excessive" regulation.

Both of these are true, and it is indeed possible that Fuschia is intended to be genuinely open.

However that seek unlikely given that there are many actors who would like to exclude Google services from their devices and Google is at the same existential risk if that happens as they were when they introduced Android.

And yes forking can be practical, but it very often isn’t, partially in the case of a very large corporately sponsored codebase. So ‘we can just fork it’ doesn’t mitigate the concerns.
It's always interesting to imagine what kind of articles people in different economic systems would write about managing performance problems. I wonder what strategies a feudal lord would have for managing an underperforming serf if they had a magazine where they published that kind of stuff.
My gut intuition says you don't need to check the entire space of possible lines, just the lines between any two dots (rotated by an trivially small degree to separate the two), because a "correct" cut should always be defined by the bounds between which some dot on the border is included or excluded in a given cut.

You also don't need to check each sequence of legal cuts. Most positions can be deduced to be unwinnable given n-remaining moves.

"These laws make it illegal to buy a car from Tesla in person, at a Tesla Gallery. Thus, all Texas orders are taken via the internet or over the phone. Texas residents can still easily buy a car from Tesla, but the purchase is handled as an out-of-state transaction and must be completed before the vehicle ships to Texas."

This post is making an error, or at least a poor choice in terminology, when thinking profit only means GAAP accounting or taxable profit.

Malone cut costs by reducing tax liability, getting better prices on programming, and increasing the subscriber base (revenue). What's that word for revenue minus expenses again?

A more honest explanation: Accounting depreciation != the actual change in value of things, and the cash flow statement can let you know when GAAP accounting isn't giving an accurate picture of success.

And about Malone's insight on leverage: Leverage ups your return on investment (when things don't blow up). Paying interest doesn't help you hide money from the tax man any better than setting dollar bills on fire would, but leverage can make big things happen from small amounts of investment.

Ask HN: Documentation and diagrams versioned with code – how to handle diagrams?
We store our software technical documentation along with the code in markdown files in the git repository - our definition of done requires that developers keep this documentation up to date.

Often, documentation needs supporting diagrams and we don't really have a clear defined way on how keep our diagrams up to date. As a result, documentation in some repositories link to a gliffy diagram and some include a png.

Neither are ideal:

- Gliffy diagrams outside of the repo are not versioned with the documentation and are not immediately visible in PRs so we risk the diagrams becoming out of date

- PNGs require a lot of effort and unless we include an editable file to spit out a png, devs will have to manipulate the existing PNG which becomes a bit messy - if we do include an editable file, it would mean an additional large file living alongside the code and PRs would be messy everytime it was updated.

I'm assuming we can't be the only organisation who has encountered this issue. Are there any tools/processes you could recommend? I'd be interested in hearing anyone's approach to technical documentation. Are we just approaching technical documentation in the wrong way?

Cheers

Strictly speaking, they only have to release their changes to people they distribute their product to. It's convenient to keep it entirely open, but not a requirement.
