SRS is really good for learning small, compartmentalized knowledge items. Its usefulness degrades quickly when you move from knowledge to concepts. I'm currently learning Japanese and using several SRS tools to do so. The ones that work the best are for characters and vocabulary. I also use one for grammar, which is okay-ish but doesn't translate as well to the SRS format.

So in the context of programming languages, SRS might work if you need to memorize method names or method signatures (though I don't see why that is needed in the age of autocompletion and instant lookups from inside the text editor), but not so much for fundamental language concepts (like "how do lifetimes interact with the borrow checker").
But the question was about integrity, not demonic possession.
I don't know, but apparently they weren't perfect or otherwise there wouldn't be such a rush for it, no?

I guess it's still a tedious experience for all parties involved.

I wonder why there isn't an OkCupid for jobs, but I think the problem is an asymmetrical interest in a "good match", unlike dating. As usual people fail to come up with good metrics and incentives and it's Goodhart's law all the way. Some problems just can't be solved by technology. But that never stopped anyone from trying over and over again... hyping their overfit tech to non-tech people.

I think the actual problem is with management on the employer side, not the job boards. They need to bite the bullet and accept they need real human interactions to measure productivity and reward it case to case.
What is a PC monitor? How is it different from a monitor?
> Navigation is sluggish across the board in both Confluence and Jira.

Also in Bitbucket. It used to be super fast, but recent changes made it very slow.

My team loves the integration with JIRA but we're considering going to Github because of the slowness.
I'd buy affinity designer, photo and publisher again if they ship a Linux version. I have it both for Windows and Mac.
Calc is really not an adequate substitute for Excel if you need to use VBA macros - which might be coming from your customers! And in the wild I see plenty of older Excel documents (before 97) which I don’t think are compatible with LibreOffice. Obviously this isn’t an ideal situation but historical data around prices/etc from the 90s are often stored as old Excel binaries.

In general I think using Calc (or Google Sheets) instead of Excel is a bad idea for a business. Word processing and spreadsheets - sure (although there might be some things specific to Word/PPT that I am not aware of). But Excel is a very specific piece of software and should not be thought of as a general “spreadsheet tool.”
> Why are people still thinking that taxing high earners is an option? The world is ruled by rich people, why would they tax themselves? Doesn't make any sense. Democracy is nice, until all the choices you have, exhibit the same underlying core values that you disagree with.

for the most part, "high earners" are not rich people; they are the upper-middle class. the richest people make the vast majority of their income from investment returns, and are often able to avoid having it count as "income". the very rich are quite happy to have taxes increased on high salaries in exchange for maintaining the status quo re investments.

> Instead, what we need is Democracy 2.0, where the people vote on individual packages, not parties. Switzerland may be the only country where that works out quite well.

this much I can agree on. why do I have to choose between guns and abortion?
No one cares to read any Terms of Service agreements, but I think Atlassian's products face another tier: not caring to adhere to them at all.

I'd personally find it pretty funny to go up to my boss and tell them I can't read my Jira tickets because Atlassian banned my account. Or would they ban the entire organization instead? Either way, hilarious.
Same, but only because I missed the word “platforms” when I read the title. I don’t know how many companies I would expect to be on a list like that, but certainly more than 45.
How can somebody post that and keep their job? Is that how far gone American culture is?
How easy is it to find spare batteries?
> I also used to use Microsoft's Windows Workflow Foundation to do similar things. Essentially you're sketching a workflow process skeleton and then managing the state atomically by compartmentalizing it, so to speak.

temporal.io and Windows Workflow Foundation are completely different. WF uses code to generate an intermediate representation of the workflow AST. And that intermediate representation is executed. It is similar to the most existing workflow engines from Airflow to BMPN ones.

Temporal doesn't use any intermediate representation. It directly executes the code keeping all its state durable.

> I don't entirely agree with your comment about state management and argument passing in Petri nets.

When I say about the state I mean the overall state of the business project which is much more than a token in a certain dish. For example such state can include a list of line items to order with all associated attributes and counters of processed events.

> I'd argue that, the tool you describe could be modeled as a Petri net, but that perhaps you may not wish to have a user do it that way.

All software at the lowest level can be modeled as a state machine. And Petri net is one of the possible representation of FSN. I'm interested in simplifying the way the workflow logic is specified by an engineer. At this point I believe the temporal.io approach of giving your the full power of a high level programming language and taking care of durability and scalability is the best option.
Unproven theories that threaten someone's worldview are typically met with the same reaction as an opposing political opinions, and for similar reasons. Rarely is it based in logic and consideration, since adjusting one's worldview takes a lot of energy.

My advice is to foster a worldview in which you accept that the world is poorly understood and many things are possible, and then you won't have to do significant reorganization (or denial and attack) every time an interesting new idea comes your way.

There have been a lot of posts about conspiracies lately, but they have all been pretty tame (or things that were previously considered conspiracies and later proven true). Here are a few more that show that the USA is and has been capable of horrific things since it became a superpower. Now imagine what an autocracy might be doing. Or what things we might be doing that haven't been proven yet/the government actually makes an effort to cover up.

Completely agree, especially because in this country is so each to open a new "church". One thing is to have legitimate churches, like the catholic or the protestant (whatever you think of them), another is to allow the creation of new "churches" so easily. It is a recipe for money laundering and a platform for con men (most of them are known as TV preachers).
Yes, maybe shoddy programming, maybe plausible deniability.
This made me laugh, thank you. Do you have source on the WW-1 detectors? Sounds intriguing!
Most petrol/gasoline stations make the majority of their money selling other products, particularly in non urban locations. Milk, newspapers, magazines etc. This business model makes refuelling stations a viable business since the margins on fuel costs are so slim.

One of the challenges with the crude political attempts to force EV usage (carrot/subsidies, Stick/fines) is the lack of coherent planning behind it. What happens when/if there are huge numbers of EV's?

It's a similar issue with public transport. My sister, a keen cyclist in London, now has two knee replacements and can't really cycle anymore. Public transport is a huge challenge (stairs etc) and driving in London is made ever harder with more and more bicycle lanes, concrete blocks dumped on roads and massive charges for attempting to use her car.

None of this is thought through. I'd really like to see some sort of vision democratically presented for comment by citizens before these autocratic decrees and changes are introduced, we seem to have more and more ill considered plans that are not joined up imposed on us, making life harder and harder...
Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard

Not trying to be negative, just trying to encourage critical dialogue. If you’re happy eating a plant based diet, I’m 100% supportive of your decision to live that way.
This is the critical point virtually all criticism of Facebook often fails to address. Sure, you could regulate to death/kill Facebook tomorrow with legislation in country X. All that happens is a clone launches immediately overnight from a country with less onerous regulation, one that anglosphere legal systems will have even less direct control over than the Facebook we have today.

FB, for all its flaws, is at least still based in a democratic nation and operates within a (_relatively speaking_) fair legal system. That the FEC is able to demand (and force implementation of!) regulation already at FB is evidence this works, at least a little. Better the devil you know as they say...

We can't remove the natural human desire to connect to one another on the internet (and associated problems). For me personally, the cat is out of the bag - you can't rewind time and uninvent the underlying communication infrastructure. If people want a social network, the internet will make it for them again and again and host from whatever polity/region allows.
I think the linux foundation has one in zephyr as well.
It has an onboard RTC? Very nice, I missed that (and the ESP8266 didn't have one).
That's interesting. I've been looking at EXWM recently as I expand my emacs usage (I've been using XMonad for about 10 years). How do you group related tabs together? Or is this somehow not necessary?

Have you noticed a significant difference in memory usage? qutebrowser turns into quite the memory hog over time. I have to periodically restart qutebrowser so my hundreds of tabs go into suspended mode. Even suspended tabs use a good chunk of memory.

Yes, I should be better at closing tabs.
I'm not sure how her 'proposal' will workout for solo white male entrepreneurs (i.e indie game developers).
Tizen would make a good OS for this, it's also an open source OS.
You seem to misunderstand what type : lifetime means.

> 'static in this context would mean that all members of T must be 'static, which means that all instances of T must be 'static.

Your "which means that" isn't true. It doesn't mean that. The syntax type : lifetime indicates that the values of the type MUST BE ABLE to outlive the lifetime. It doesn't mean that they NEED to outlive the lifetime.

This means, for example, i32 : 'static even in the case doesn't live the whole 'static lifetime. It COULD live, though, if the author of the code allocated it statically.
My thoughts are that consumer goods prices respond differently to sudden surges in the money supply than asset prices.
That's one of the things I already tried.
> I would rather have my files be Page.component, Header.component, Details.component, Article.component than have my three files be Page.html, Page.css, Page.js.

...except that Page.css at most only adds minor tweaks that cascade over the site's styling, and arguably already should be a part of the site's main styling definitions.

> What is the benefit of separating code by file type?

Separation of concerns. This lesson was learned the hard way. Must we keep on relearning it?

> I think this is false simplification - again, in complex applications with lots of interaction, there is no escaping the coupling of DOM nodes, JS logic, and styles.

This assertion is quite wrong and misguided. Styling is a property of a site's visual identity. It is not a property of a component or a specific interaction state. Any well-designed site follows a uniform visual identity which spans over all aspects pertaining to user interactions. Moreover, UI components are also uniform and reused. There is no excuse.
Not to mention it's great for gaming.
> but we've also heard from other customers saying they have no problems

Can I suggest following up with those customers to see if and how they're using the product, what's their computer configuration, if there's anything special about them?
Yep. I was a company official JIRA and Confluence on prem JVM restarter, mail queue unclogger and schema unfucker for 5 years. When they moved it to Cloud it was the best day of my life because it wasn’t my problem any more even though the performance was even worse.
Are there ever successful software product quality liability lawsuits?
Why would you need to put so much judgement into a single company. If the person has only worked for one company than their employment history won't be much of a factor.

If someone has worked at 6-8 places over 15/20 years covering a range of skills required I don't see the risk.

My guess would be that Wasp-OS will become the beginner-friendly fully-featured option while Pinetime will be the more battery friendly option.
Obviously I meant as much as or up to ten years or more, not at least ten years or more.

From the HN guidelines:

I think as many companies have started to do today, one can spin green manufacturing as a PR thing, and possibly market your product towards customers who are willing to pay more for greener manufacturing practices. Along the way, hopefully you could invest in green manufacturing improvements to make the tech cheaper at scale.

I don’t think it has to be an a or b situation. I think the best and brightest could solve the problem without decimating their profits. Perhaps I am not that smart, but surely Facebook is. (They have significantly more resources than their competitors, I imagine.)

Is it really true that Facebook would go bankrupt by being more ethical? I’m not so sure. They have a captive user base. A lot of older folks who aren’t great with tech are on Facebook, and they won’t be going anywhere that quickly. With as many users as they have — a seventh of the world’s population - I can’t imagine people will leave in droves that quickly. One of Facebook’s biggest advantages is the network effect of “everyone you know is already here”.

My opinion is that Facebook does in fact have the resources to be more ethical without loosing so much profit that they go out of business.

I think the problem partially is maximizing revenue at the cost of everything else. I’m not sure I buy into the idea that they must maximize revenue. Couldn’t they be more ethical at the cost of some money, and then that new revenue amount still is enough to cover expenses?
That's weird, because I just checked their home page and found this list of features:

pattern matching,
lambda calculus consistency,
macros for defining domain specific languages,
optional lazy evaluation,
static type checking based on sequent calculus, one of the most powerful systems for typing in functional programming,
an integrated fully functional Prolog,
an inbuilt compiler-compiler,
has a BSD kernel that runs under a host of different languages (Lisp, Python, Javascript, C ...) and operating systems (Windows, Linux, OS/X),
is extensively documented in a book

If those don't interest you, there's probably not a reason for you to spend time learning it. I'm not sure what other info you're expecting to find.
Of course, evangelicals are the biggest beneficiaries of church fraud. They open a new "church" every day, for the purpose of hiding their money producing assets: seminar companies, show business, book publishing, TV and radio.
Maybe I’ve been lucky, but here in the EU, I’ve not yet found a non-Tesla charger that won’t charge my Tesla.

And also, the mobility+ app (no affiliation) has dealt fine with multiple brands of charger.
I feel like a lot of people are missing the fact that Terraform's value is in being a generic way to interact with a vast number of APIs.

But then when I look at things like Pulumi, I'm reminded that software engineers have their hammer and tend to see all problems as nails.

That's not a knock on the profession, seeing as I am one, but writing Terraform serves business needs that writing and deploying software does not. It takes a certain amount of maturity across the industry to not tunnel vision and write code to solve every problem.
I've been using the cheaper ($1,000) but very similar LG 38WK95C for around a year. I have it attached to a Mac (via USB-C) and a PC (via DisplayPort) and the only drawback I've found is that when you switch inputs it "disconnects" the other input so the Mac thinks the monitor has been unplugged; my previous monitor did not do this.
It's a true statement but it's quite unhelpful to tell people that a problem they have is fixed in a different semi-compatible piece of software.
If the majority of your earnings are income, you're likely nowhere close to the rich people that influence politicians
> it's extremely hard to get access to powerful SoCs - the vendors simply won't work with you

That's a really good point. I remember having the Pebble watch (this was pre-Apple and Android watches) and I think it had 128 KB of RAM total, including OS, background tasks, apps, etc. That was a mass produced and commercialized item though.
The voices actually are raised, in the hearings. You can watch some of them on C-SPAN. The floor of a chamber with 100 or 435 members isn't really suited for debate, but it does happen. The vote is the very tail end of a long deliberative process.

Most people only look at that tail end because the deliberation is dull, but if you want to know what it looks like, much of it is available to the public.
I don't see why the standard procedure can't be applied here. E.g. we have no proof to either a conspiracy or to its opposite, so let us live peacefully, while having different opinions. Also, let's not force anything on each other - because there's no evidence on any of the sides.
Edit: Jeez sore spot on HN.

I lost my job due to covid but don’t get a “stimulus” — pointing out this means it’s income redistribution not stimulus and not relief for those impacted. That is factually true.
You're absolutely right I get a barrage of these. I've got to think someone out there is selling software to scan for these and spam them around.
Thanks for adding.
Apple will let Amphetamine app stay in the App Store
Can you provide an example of something that should be included but isn’t? My payment processing requirements are fairly standard so I’m genuinely curious.
The consumer price index is a joke.

House prices doubled and the consumer price index shows low inflation for the same period.

I don't care about the price of a smartphone or whether spaghetti became 10 cents more expensive. I care about whether or not I will be able to afford a house through a lifetime of work. And it's looking bad at that front. I'd literally have to pay back debt for longer than I still have to work before retirement.
If you honestly need details and specifics when Confluence has always been a slow mess to the point of being unusable, then maybe Atlassian needs a PM in charge of performance metrics first and foremost?
The most intolerant wins, the dictatorship of the small minority
In the case of Confluence specifically, it makes the cost of experimentation a lot steeper.

Confluence's WYSIWYG editor will often make changes that can't be reversed with "undo" -- especially those involving indentation. Copy-paste frequently screws up its formatting as well.

So if you don't want to risk losing lots of work, you have to make many smaller changes. With each change taking a few seconds, it adds up quickly.

If it was markdown or some extended set of it, that wouldn't be a problem.
I'm not even sure where to start with this. It's a complex issue and I appreciate the source.

China is putting people into forced labour (or concentration) camps en-mass. Its arrested or exiled thousands of HK democracy protestors. Its going backwards on democracy and rule of law. Not to mention causing the largest pandemic of the 21st century (so far). Its support for North Korea is another whole mess. Oh, and it almost started a war with the neighbouring nuclear power.

If people are satisfied with that, they're pretty socially bankrupt imho.

What's more likely is that with absolute control of the media, the vast majority have no idea what's really going on. They're just reassured about how awful every other country is.

In fairness, the camps and the plague weren't a thing till after the 2016 end of the survey. Xi Jinping only really ramped up his authoritarian storm in the last few years.

I wonder how the average citizen there would react after an hour of straight forwards factual updates on the domestic situation.

All this aside, I am glad they have eliminated extreme poverty. That is progress, socially as well as economically.
In other words, the law is toothless, you just need to open an illegitimate business that is operated through an investment company.
The situation in Vancouver is caused by out of control immigration quotas. Real estate there is a way to park assets in a safe jurisdiction.

Seattle has a much healthier market both for devs and real estate and is only three hours away.

Only difference in healthcare is while american top devs get it on top of their compensation packages, canadians pay for it with their prohibitive income tax rates. It's pretty easy to take the total spending percentage that goes to healthcare and multiply it by your income tax to see how much a dev is really paying for healthcare.
This is how I've decided to do my goals for the year. I split mine into 4 categories: personal, professional, physical, and reading. And then do monthly goals for each and track what I do per day. I don't have to do something in each category every day or even have to do anything any day. It's just helpful for me to see if I am slacking in an area over a stretch of days. The idea is to keep the goals fairly easy to accomplish and not plan more than a month out so I can pivot.
Mullis subscribed to the theory that AIDS is caused by infection with too many viruses at any given time. You go to the gay sauna, have sex with dozens of people, and the sheer multitude of infectious agents is what causes breakdown of the immune system. That doesn't square up with how we know the immune system works, not then, not now.

one of the alternative hypotheses was that the treatments then being given for HIV were actually killing people

That's plain bonkers. AZT was a miracle drug.
