I like that the article kind of gives up metricing and just says each team should figure it out. This is kind of similar to the no metrics he proposes.

If I had to choose, I’d choose no metric over lines of code or number of tickets, etc.

I think the issue is that when orgs get big enough they have lots of teams and having some comparability is useful to find lessons learned to spread among teams, etc. I don’t know of any metric that is truly objective for figuring out high productivity teams or individuals just by using it.

I think there are some “vital signs” that you want projects to have, but don’t want to fixate on the actual value. Like you don’t care if someone’s pulse is 70 or 80 or 90, but you want to make sure pulse is checked.

I think having reviews in git is helpful and not having any is something to look into.

I think having contributions from other teams is a good sign, although absence isn’t necessarily bad. I think the positive is by showing how others are finding and asking questions or reviewing or contributing material so that’s probably reuse.

I think encouraging information sharing through lunch and learn presentations is good, but is delicate to avoid gaming from people just “making the circuit.”

Having an automated CI/CD is a good sign and if code is making it to prod without one, it requires looking into.

Theoretically a healthy team will have all these signs, but you could have an awesome team with low numbers and a terrible team with high numbers. So these metrics wouldn’t be useful for detecting productivity and comparing across teams, but would be good for just finding big, lurking problems.

I comically work in an org where there are whole teams not using source control, so the “only I can measure myself, give me more money” is a very real challenge.
I found the discussion on HN generally ok; there were a few fervent zealots, but when they became a liability to the discussion, they were voted away. Unfounded conspiracy theories were occasionally floated, but generally quickly addressed, skeptically and adequately.

There were massive gaps of knowledge, sure, but I think the discussion contributed to reducing that.

> If you think any bet is a guaranteed win, you have lost your rationality.

True, but there are of course better and worse opportunities, and occasionally excellent ones. For example, IPO pops are on average a risk-adjusted win, and for good (and well understood) institutional reasons.
> The binary is never changed.

> Apps can behave differently based on a flag set in the cloud, that’s only triggered after approval.

But if this do-nothing app _did_ do something in the review phase, then why switch that functionality off afterwards? If you've already gone to the trouble of writing (or stealing) code to do _something,_ at least enough not to be refused entry into the App Store with a "does nothing at all" verdict, then your scam will only be hurt by switching even that minimal functionality off: Users will just quit using it all the faster. You'd use your remote switch to activate the scamming bits, not to de-activate the rest.

So I don't believe that's how this particular app under discussion got through. It can't have actually done anything useful in the review phase either.
It's very telling about what kind of people make up this community when all the up-voted comments are attacks on the author and very limited actual discussion on the topic itself yet the down-voted comments are speaking to the actual problem. You don't have to like the author or their demeanor, but to flag this thread is neglecting how the topic itself is a good fit for HN. What I'm seeing right now is reflective of the elitist attitude on this platform that rears its ugly head from time to time. Clearly this article hit a nerve for a lot of degree holders, it's just a shame they're emotional about it rather than constructive. Go ahead and down-vote me, but that won't make your insecurities go away.
There is a list of well over 5 brokers that were restricted and yesterday Revolut was restricted as well.
Nice write up! How much did it cost to get a Oxford Nanopore?
I'm not sure you can really argue occam's razor is that this guy just makes incredible bets on stocks. Surely the simplest answer is: People on the internet lie.

I'm not saying I feel strongly either way, but I think peopel on the internet lying is a pretty simple explanation.
> The role of reviewing products was always best done by the professional news media

Of course, the producer who profits from sales, and the news media who profits from ads should be trusted to come together and produce perfectly trustworthy product reviews...

The perverse relationship between advertisers and media outlets make me incredibly skeptical of content creators who produce reviews. I can only think of a few off the top of my head that I trust.
I’m 25 and healthy. If they paid me $1000 and provided medical treatment if necessary I would have volunteered for such a trial last spring.
Here’s another side of it. When Huawei deployed their equipment previously with at least one big telecom it’s equipment worked so badly that they sent a boatload of engineers onsite to fix it all and as far as I know they did.
Now imagine all the systems, schematics, blueprints and locations these engineers touched or at least gained knowledge about. Even without a backdoor in this knowledge would probably be a hacker group’s wet dream if they wanted to plant themselves inside a telco.
Isn't the whole appeal of this kind of article that you get to believe you are an insider to 'correct' knowledge?
this is part of my point though. they're not just random people; they are fans (ie, customers) that adore the characters he's played. I dunno if that makes it worse morally (probably at least a little), but it definitely makes a bad thing much worse from a business perspective.
I think it's mostly just a way of making the show more visually interesting. Take a look at those dance scenes, and then compare it to a shot from any other regency romance movie. The faces in the latter all just blend in to one another; everything looks like a big blur.

The ethnicity is largely ignored. There's one interesting passing reference to it -- the idea that it's a recent phenomenon that could easily be reversed -- but they spend little time on it.

It's not authentic, but of course nothing about Bridgerton is authentic. Queen Charlotte's skin color is no wronger than her clothing, which is more 1770s France than 1810s England (and not really authentic at that, either). The Duke of Hastings' skin exactly matched that of the real Duke of Hastings -- since Hastings was a Barony.
Indeed, both of these terminals were part of a Cambrian explosion of glass TTYs.

I mentioned the VT100 specifically as that was what the comment referred to. Also because for some reason it somehow became iconic, though I don't know why (I always thought the VT52 superior, though the best IMHO was the Ann Arbor Ambassador).
Not sure if praise from ~~that person from Ceylon~~ Arthur C. Clarke is worth anything. We don't go around quoting Jimmy Savile, do we?

First of all, I'm not sure it's obvious that burn out / injury is the norm instead of the exception — though happy to shown otherwise if you have any links. We hear about the worst cases because that's what's reported on, but we never hear about the boring average Joe warehouse worker that just clocks in, does their work, clocks out, and then goes about their life.

The hours are predictable, and there's no oncall rotation so you can reasonably plan your life around the difficult working hours, and you never have to worry about not affording health care because Amazon health insurance is quite generous.

One example: Homologous Recombination Deficiency, the signature it leaves genome-wide and the associated sensitivity to PARP inhibitors.

But agreed, it is about time we start to understand regulatory regions better. But that will require gathering more WGS data, and indeed most data is Whole Exome or Panel.
Exactly. 4th season felt superfluous/boring. 5th gets back to basics. Maybe a little repetition (razorback, nuke, Mrs.) but it is fun.
May be more a filter than a cause.
My wording was unclear. Having the Senate check on the 25th amendment is a good thing; the cabinet should not have the power to depose the president just because. That’s clearly a very dangerous power to just leave laying around like that.

What’s bad is having a very much awake and ambulatory Trump arguing in front of the Senate that he should be back in power. That’s a political nightmare, and far worse than Congress using its powers to expel the president on their own initiative. It’s much better for our body politic for Congress to impeach and save the 25th amendment for less politically ambiguous situations.

Why are you compiling on ARM with only 4GB RAM? Wouldn't it make more sense to cross compile from a machine with more resources, if you cared about build speed? (maybe there's a good reason not to do that, idk)

If it's crapping out when you give it -j8, that seems to strongly suggest you're running into limited resources somewhere.

I'm no expert in the intricacies of parallel builds, but as far as I know you can still have dependencies between targets that will limit parallelism.

This is an unrealistic level of infallibility to ask of people. Like taking the backspace key off a keyboard to enforce people not making typos.
Influenza typically has a mortality of around 0.8%¹. There usually is a vaccine against the current strain of influenza, which usually hovers around 45%² efficacy (tops out at ~60%).

With covid, we have a mortality rate of something between 0.3% and 3%³. The CFR of influenza includes - to the best of my knowledge, since i can't find any sources - vaccinated people. So without vaccination, influenza would have a CFR around 0.8% * (100% / 45%) ~= 1.78%. This is within the error bars of covid19 CFR, since there was no vaccine until now.

I don't want to downplay covid19. I do want to question the effect on the society, and the personal responsibility of everyone involved.

@Downvoters: just state why please.

If you disagree, please be so kind and educate me why.

I used to work for Australia's national broadband network.

The issue with 5G is that there is a lot more software involved e.g. software defined networking, network function virtualization, edge computing, containerisation etc.

This makes securing the platform much more complex as you have to constantly validate that each piece of software is not able to access your core network or siphon user traffic.

Optical networks like you listed are pretty dumb so aren't nearly as much of a threat.

Cause that's it's reputation in math circles. And recommended by most of my teachers. Also because I used it a lot. You don't need to read it top to bottom. I think people here are interested by monoid and stuff. But to do the monoid part you don't really need category. An Algebra course about monoid is good enough actually.
Barely. Even now there are a great many people -- tens of millions -- who believe that democracy failed.
I have been seeing people on WSB claim that the stock price shown on the ticker is "manipulated by the hedgies" and asking when the real stock price is going to finally appear. This is pretty similar to Q people asking when it will be revealed that 45 is still the president. That one absolutely fits my definition of "wild conspiracy theory."

In terms of more popular accusations of wrongdoing among brokerages as they shut down the buy side, that seems plausible but hard to prove coordination unless someone recorded the conversation in a smoke filled room. If there was big money to make and a way to get away with it, I assume most corporations would engage in illegal activities.

Bobby riding a missile like a surfboard is much more fantastic that what was in the show. It is one of the "big scenes" that I wanted to see on screen. It is explained in the book that her suit thrusters don't have the range to reach Naomi in time. So she mag boots on to one of the remaining missiles that were orbiting the Razorback (also missing from the show) and Alex flies the missile remotely to Naomi.

Threadripper can be useful for IO, especially for C++ (which is famously quite IO intensive) owing to its 128 PCIe lanes, you can RAID0 a bunch of drives and have absolutely ridiculous IO.
Right. I'd bet Starlink actually gets to skip a lot of the routing and repeating that landlines have to go through

>but what happens if e.g. the WaPo Guild takes action in solidarity with an Amazon union?

Luckily, we don't need to wonder, because WaPo has actually posted that kind of an article just yesterday, and it was extremely critical of Amazon's anti-unionization efforts [0]. The article's headline is "Amazon’s anti-union blitz stalks Alabama warehouse workers everywhere, even the bathroom". Even the headline itself wasn't sugarcoated or softened in the slightest.

Sorry Tom, there's a new sherrif in town.
My thought was to partner with game companies and get access to the users avatar(s) [Halo, CoD, Cyberpunk 2077, PubG, TF2, etc.] This way you already have access to the 3D model and can just print them all day long. Even better, hook into the console's "store" and make it an option to buy online. Then when they come into the store to pick up their 3D printed key-chain, bobble head, belt-buckle, doo-dad you can upsell them on other things.

NOTE: I tried to pitch this to a former employer of mine and they didn't really see the market.
This thing has been going for months and Google just lets it. My only HN thread ever was a rant about that site just after it came up not only as first result, but also as a *featured* result.

It seems the way they trick Google is akin to the good (bad) old keyword stuffing. Except the atomic parts aren't the words but sentences and paragraphs. Very clever.

It sounds like one of those cases where manual action is needed, but unfortunately I have no idea no way to report it.
>> The phrase was hijacked (by the OSI) and is being squatted on by people who want to enforce a very specific meaning of the phrase, even though it is self-descriptive and broad

I'm not sure that's a very generous interpretation.

In our industry these terms have very specific meanings. Just like other words in Physics, Law, or Medicine have very specific meanings to those in the field, but not to outsiders.

When we say Open Source, we use a two-word description to describe a much broader idea. Likewise when we say Free/Libre Software, we describe software licensed under specific conditions. Its obvious for us in this field why Google Chrome is not Free Software, but not so much for the average person.

>> OSS should be an umbrella phrase that covers the multitude of interpretations like source available, FOSS, FLOSS, etc.

I understand where you're coming from, but unfortunately OSS already has a strict definition. I agree there is a need for a more correct categorization, but it should be strictly and nomenclaturally separate from Open Source, to show that it is a much more restrictive license.
I think the challenge with this is that blockers only get removed once and super awesome teams preemptively remove blockers before they block.

So while it’s good to remove obstacles and maybe helpful to measure if obstacles exist that’s bad, it doesn’t mean much when no obstacles exist and none have been removed in a long time. Maybe they are super awesome and chugging along from all those removed obstacles. Maybe they are super sucky because they don’t see things as obstacles.
38% is very far from 50%, and to characterize the two as the same or similar does a disservice to any discussion regarding tax rates.

Also, I think to execute a short squeeze successfully, it is by no means sufficient that the outstanding short interest exceeds 100% - that boundary has no significance.

I think what is required is that you control long interest of 100% or more of the net shares (or float). (The shorts being > 100% is neither necessary nor sufficient for that.)

Ask HN: Shippable gives a 3-month shutdown notice; what are good alternatives?
We built majority of our internal config management & deployment infrastructure on Shippable's CD platform.

They gave us a short 3-month service shutdown notice without any migration help/plans. What are some good, low-maintenance CD tools (not just ci) these days?

Some options we're leaning towards: Github Actions, or Github Actions + Argo CD, or Jenkins X.

Anything else worth exploring?

Our main requirement is we want to build on top of it programmatically rather than doing everything in the UI.

Context: ~25 engineers, ~5 eng teams, ~100 services, with ~20 deployments/day.

Apple is quite the exception rather than the rule here though and is hardly a panacea of good examples of market effects. For one they are the most highly valued company in the world... they can afford to react (or not) to the market in many ways other organizations simply cannot afford to consider

If you're going to pattern match, you're almost always wrong calling any specific moment a bubble.

The S&P 50 has closed within 5% of its all-time high 32% of days for its entirety. 1 out of every 15 days the market closes at an all time high. And the vast, vast majority of those don't end up being the precipice of a crash. In fact, even the ones that do predate a crash almost always end up being perfectly fine times to invest for long-term growth.

The null hypothesis really should be that most markets aren't bubbles. So, a "why is this time it different" argument should be required from people calling it a bubble, not from those saying it's not.
I don't really think that's an appropriate comparison.
