Have you looked at the larger Thunderbolt hubs, rather than one of the cheaper and more ubiquitous USB-C dongles?

I use a 15" MacBook Pro and a Caldigit TS3+ – more expensive, but I have a single cable supplying power, a bunch of USB ports, Ethernet, audio, an SD reader and 2x4k monitors. It pretty much feels like magic and has been completely flawless. It won't run three screens though – I do sometimes use a third myself, but that needs an additional direct HDMI -> USB-C cable.

This is one of those cases where I think that a subtle change to fit the headline into HN submission constraints made is a lot worse.

The original is, "Trying to Stay Optimistic Is Doing More Harm Than Good"

"Toxic positivity" makes more sense in the context of the article, which is much more about personal mental health than general workplace behavior. It is not about other peoples' positivity, it is about accepting your own negative emotions as healthy. It is not about positive feedback in meetings. Anyway, it has reasonable parting advice:

Ho, the neuropsychologist, has an unexpected suggestion to help calibrate a Pollyanna perspective: a session watching Disney-Pixar’s Inside Out, which animates and dramatizes human emotions. "One of the best antidotes to toxic positivity is reexamining your value system and understanding that some of the best moments in life, when you truly feel good, are full of mixed emotions," she says. "And that’s what we should be embracing as human beings."

Sure, but I think film made each photograph a bit more dear, making it less likely that somebody'll take a dozen just to pick the best one.
Same for me. I hate the celebratory management emails after crunch time. They feel insulting to me. I expect management to help during the project and not celebrating once everything is done. That while not having fixed obvious problems during the project. My partner is the other way. She loves and needs praise. The more the better.

Another interesting thing was at the end of one of the last projects. There was a survey where we could choose between a Patagonia shirt and a plaque. Guess what? The majority voted for the plaque. That was astonishing to me but a good reminder that I seem to be different.
Your ISP does that. Apart from IP rotation theory, I heard that some ISP billing software requires a session reset to flush network statistics to a billing database, because it is accumulated in RAM. They have to do that to block/divert clients whose account reaches a limit, because you don’t normally upload payment info to your firewall/proxy and only check it for new sessions. (I’m not an ISP guy and this may simply be an urban legend from 90's)

My experience partially confirms that. I had an ISP who would redirect every syn packet on 80/443 to internal “low money” site in the night, but I had to reset my router after sending them money, cause otherwise that crippled session got stuck at their hardware until next autoreset.

1 minute may be a technical pppoe cleanup/reconnect timeout. Some shitty ISPs reset this timeout even for unsuccesful attempts, and this deadlock can last for half an hour until e.g. a router decides to back off for a while. Could be cured by turning it off for 3-5 minutes to cool off the ISP side. It’s rare these days.

> Is using bankruptcy and re-incorporating in another state to avoid a lawsuit

It's regular practice in USA/Canada.

E.g. tobacco companies in Canada filed for bankruptcy the second they lost a big lawsuit against them. They were also careful enough to structure their Canadian ops as highly dependent subsidiaries. So even when whatever cash was left gets distributed, the parent still profits from its Canadian ops.

The nice thing about North american bankruptcies is that it's a public process, so you get a view into their operations that may never otherwise be/become public.

They analyzed multiple studies that included 272,216 people, they scored the subjects for LCD (higher score, less carbs). Statistically, the study found an overwhelming (my adjective) correlation that the higher a population scores on the LCD scale, the higher their mortality, showing an average of ~30% higher mortality for those eat a low carb diet.

Pretty much every major study that has done this has found similar results. I linked 4 more large studies below.

I switched from XFCE to Cinnamon after I couldn't get on with Gnome, Cinnamon is (for my use case) way less "janky" than Gnome since the only way to get close to what I consider a pleasant productive desktop on Gnome is to install a bunch of very buggy plugins.

Cinnamon at least makes operating like a classic DE a first order priority and it works nice across multiple screens.

KDE does the same but aesthetically KDE drives me crazy for some reason starting with the complete lack of standardisation on padding and going down hill from there.
Author here. We didn't do anything other than request the flag to be reviewed.

The recommended steps for dealing with the issue listed in the article were not what we used, just a suggested process that I came up with when putting the article together. Clearly, if the report you receive from Google Search Console is correct and actually contains malware URLs, the correct way to deal with the situation is to fix the issue before submitting it for review.

I understand both limits and I've taught asymptotic analysis in the past. O(f(x)) and O(g(x)) are sets. How does one divide two sets? This explanation is ill formed.
This is a really poorly descriptive title.

Node.js/Express
Interesting article. I know the big CPGs have been challenged by digitally native brands like harrys and the shave companies. It's also clearly not true if you're not a globally known brand with a lot of monopolies. I wonder if it holds true in all markets for the big brands. I also wonder if it would open them to more competition from smaller brands over time. Like the other commenter said, hard to name too many non coke/pepsi carbonated beverages.
Depends on what you need to develop. The M1 is great if you do web development with NodeJS style tools or Apple App Store development but don't need to run an x86 Windows VM to see exactly how Windows browsers render your site: Windows browsers which run on 90%+ of this planet's desktops, important corporate customer desktops in particular.

The M1 is not so great if:

- You want to develop real-time raytracing. The M1 using the Metal API does 3.6 FPS (20.1 million rays per second) while the RTX 2070 does 135.5 FPS (757 megarays/sec) on one benchmark:
https://www.willusher.io/graphics/2020/12/20/rt-dive-m1

- You need reliable ECC memory and/or a corruption resistant filesystem like ZFS/BTRFS/ReFS. (You can get ECC on serious Thinkpads (X1/P15/P17), Dells, and HPs designed for science and engineering, and also RTX graphics, Cuda machine learning, etc., and run both Windows and Linux.)

- You need hi-performance x86 Linux VMs to compile and test your production back-end code locally on your device.

- You need a multidisk RAID drive configuration (available in laptops above mentioned) which allows you to keep working if one disk fails.

- You need to be able to quickly and inexpensively field-service/replace a failed disk drive, bad memory stick, broken screen, or damaged keyboard.

- You need to be able to quickly swap an old battery for a fresh one. (I replaced the battery in my MacBook Pro when it swelled up and almost cracked the trackpad glass; I had to use acetone nail polish remover to release the adhesive Apple uses to glue the battery into the case. Apple uses glue for everything these days and opposes right-to-repair legislation.)

- You need to be able to use portable graphics APIs such as Vulkan.

- You need to run industry standard CAD/CAM applications performantly and cost effectively.

- You want to develop VR applications.

- You want to run an 8K display. If you see a 280dpi Dell 8K next to a ~220dpi Apple 5K/6K you see there is no comparison. The Apple "retina" renders font edges softer than print.

- You need a device your device vendor allows you to configure to not phone home to said device vendor's servers. If you buy Windows Enterprise or Red Hat Enterprise or Ubuntu this level of privacy is officially supported. Apple aggressively markets itself as pro-privacy but does not offer this: your M1 will be sending quite a few packets to Apple-owned IP ranges.

- You need a device you can constructively criticize on internet forums when it doesn't work well for doing anything other than desktop-and-mobile Webkit webdev and Apple App Store development. If you ever need to share your frustration with your M1 on Reddit or HN you risk instant downvoting.
As far as I understand it’s a common tool to get rid of liabilities and other problems. There is the term “strategic bankruptcy “. It’s definitely not a stain on a business person’s record as Trump has shown.
How myopic. Insane beliefs have existed long before Internet-enabled information spread. Over half of the US believes that astrology is real. I remember reading in the early 2000's a survey showing a majority of Americans believing angels exist. Should we talk about religion?

I'll tell you what's happening, here. Journalists are encouraging a Zeitgeist of censorship, prepping us all for Internet censorship to protect us from ourselves. That's because the young people who are behind Medium blogs and WP op eds and Vox articles are too young to have a collective memory of censorship in the West jn and before WWII, the McCarthy years, the wars to decriminalize porn, and much more.

Because of myopia we want to go backwards in our liberal democracies. All this because you're worried that your neighbor will believe Alex Jones or not get a vaccine?

I have bad news: History shows this will not go away despite all the censorship in the world.
Can someone explain why this belongs on HN? @dang
I typically advise new hires to keep a “dirt doc” of things they think could be improved, and have them come back to it after they are more up to speed (say a month or two in).

The insights that you get from coming at the problem with fresh eyes are invaluable and you really don’t want to waste those. But many things on that list will evaporate once you have a bit more understanding of the project.

(I still like to make “check in a fix / improvement to the dev environment documentation” the first task for a new starter though, as there’s usually a typo or update required somewhere).
It certainly keeps down quality. It takes hard and thoughtful work to actually think about and evaluate the work product of others to the point that constructive guidance can be offered. It's much easier to just say 'wow, that looks great' and smile.
The Cult of Leica
I have to hand it to Kelley. I didn’t believe in this project when I first read one of his initial “I want to make a proglang” articles. Just one guy? And he doesn’t have a programming language background? And he wants to make a language which can be used instead of C, the most hard to replace programming language (apparently)?

I still haven’t tried it myself. But I see now that there are plenty of people who have made an informed choice and chosen Zig over the other systems programming languages. So obviously they must be doing something right. Obviously Zig has something that system programmers like.

So, props!
I have it on my old laptop(i3, 6gb ram). Windows 10 doesn't work great. I use it once in a while, mainly for backup.
This is the result of a culture where companies will lay you off tomorrow to bump the stock a quarter point. Every single one of us is in a gig economy. You eat what you kill, and you can never, ever project weakness, unless you already have money.
> it's applied to a small enough input

The whole point of big-O notation is to analyze algorithms as they're applied to input of size `n` larger than some `n_0`. Of course it's not useful for small inputs - it's explicitly about large inputs.

> it's implemented very efficiently

On large inputs, it's very hard see how, say, a linear algorithm with a quadratic algorithm regardless of how "efficiently" it's implemented. Assuming you're talking about something like cache friendliness or good register allocation?

I don't get bankruptcy in the US. Companies and organisations go bankrupt but just seem to keep on going as normal? Bankrupt airlines flying people as normal for example? The NRA being bankrupt but still going? What's up with that?

In the UK I think if you're bankrupt (insolvent) then that's it you're done, you're not trading anymore, and they will call in a third-party company to wrap you up and sell all your stuff and you're not likely getting any money out of it as an owner or shareholder.

As a lead I find the best approach is to just figure out the person on your team and use whatever approach suits their personality well.

On that topic, remember to say thank you when someone on your team gets you out of a jam, There are parts of the systems at work that I simply don't understand yet/never will because they are far outside of my team typically so if someone saves me a bunch of time because they happen to know that system, a thank you goes a long way - it's also an admission that as a lead you don't know everything.

I find "I don't know either, lets find out" opens a more productive dialogue than pretending you know everything - on top of which seniors (and good juniors) can spot a bluff anyway and you just lose credibility.

Almost any management style works if you are genuine, open and authentic.
In the end, HOW you deliver feedback matters. Personally, I have three important characteristics for a feedback.

Point 1 : "Be Specific". I can not stress this enough. Please point out specific observable behaviour.

Point 2 : Frame feedback in terms of team/organisational goals. Every team has a purpose within the organisation. It's a team game and every team member should know the feedback in context of the team game. Individual feedback, team context.

Point 3 : Cite the past but look for future changes in behaviour. You can not change the past but you can influence the future.

For example, "Hey John! When you do X, it helps the team achieve Y. Please continue doing so!" or "Hey John! When you do Z, it lets the team down. What can you do differently?".
Your making another perfect case of why Google should be broken up. It’s important that we can choose again.
Dropbox actually provides an unique domain for each and every user - and separates the UGC from the web front code and Dropbox own assets that way - that's where the files you preview/download are actually coming from. I have no doubt a fair number of those is blacklisted.
The issue is most people agree that people can own arms, but with limitations. For example, the vast majority of people think universal background checks are a good idea, but the NRA did not.

I'd absolutely expect an experienced American journalist to have a pretty good idea of how academia operates in the US. I do and I don't have a research background. I have no idea though how things operate in India.
no one wants fake praise, but rather real, genuine praise only. some folks will convince themselves the fake praise is genuine, but mostly, everyone can tell in their heart of hearts which is which. you're not really fooling most folks most of the time.

give real praise only when it's deserved. support and compassion, however, should always be readily at hand.

Raghuram Rajan has been a professor at the University of Chicago since 1997 except for a 3 year period from 2003-2006 when he served at the IMF. He was given a "public service" sabbatical from the University of Chicago to serve at the RBI.

You phrased this as if the only gun owners are NRA members. This may come as a surprise, but Democrats in the south hunt too.
Nah-- I think you've got it all wrong. The problem isn't the false positive/false negative ratio chosen.

The problem is that there's false positives with substantial harm caused to others and with little path left open to them by Google to fix them / add exceptions-- in the name of minimizing overhead.

Google gets all of the benefit of the feature in their product, and the cost of the negatives is an externality borne by someone else that they shrug off and do nothing to mitigate.
Your comment made me think that they have the same attitude with support as they do with hiring, they are ok with a non fine-tuned model as long as the false positives / negatives impact individuals rather than Google’s corporate goals.
Makes it a lot harder. The snow and ice is far less stable. Mont Blanc for example, is treacherous with rockfall when temperatures are warm on the mountain.
It seems to me that higher visibility is all but guaranteed to lead to an increase in belief. Simple exposure is one thing: most people aren't going to concoct new conspiracy theories on their own, but they may decide to go in for them when they see them.

Social persuasion/cohesion is another: we're all influenced by the views of the people around us (like it or not). When you see half a dozen people in one of your peer groups talking about $WEIRD_THING, you're naturally inclined to give it some time, and maybe some credence.

I don't disagree about the deep problems with regulating it, though.
