Ask HN: How to track tickets across DevOps
I am not sure if I should be trying to do this but currently, our Task tickets are set to Done as soon as the commit(s) are merged. Backlog Items (PBIs) are manually set to "Ready" once all the tasks are done and when manually deployed to production are manually set to "Done".

In the name of automation and visibility, it seems to me that Tasks or Backlog Items (and maybe bugs and features) should have a status that maps to a number of CI/CD statuses, ideally automatically. Perhaps the task is set to "Done" as per Scrum but then the PBI should somehow track perhaps "Merged", "Built", "SystemTest", "Production" or equivalent which gives the PO easy oversight of where things are and when they are ready to test etc.

The problem I am having is that there is no obvious correlation between the fact that a build might only contain a subset of tasks and will not have any concept of the PBI or when it is completed by all tasks being finished so it would only ever be able to set task statuses. If I tried to build something based purely on the status of tasks, then that sounds like it would break the concept of a Task being "Done" as soon as it is merged and would potentially be complicated e.g. when all tasks are set to Built or above, set the PBI to built.

Am I misunderstanding? Should I be trying to track my backlog into Production or is it better to assume that things are Done as soon as the CI starts and any failures/deployments/releases should be tracked separately? I am using Azure Devops if that is relevant.
> While I haven't ventured through time, I have grown up in the lands of those of what the author calls the first system of war, but have been trained in and participated in modern war, I see the type of person as being very much similar from both my limited reading of history and first-hand accounts of both bravery and cowardice. A good article with a lackluster conclusion.

I think it's fair to ask: in what way are they similar? The author touches on several ways in which they are different: the kind of courage required, the kind of fear encountered, and the kind of actions that are taken.

Is it possible that what is similar isn't the experience, but rather the way people who haven't had the experience treat it? "Hero", after all, is a title conferred (or we would more often call our enemies heroes). So maybe what's constant is the fact that warriors are held in great respect (though, per the previous entry, not always soldiers), even if they are quite different.
You might be right, I seem to have confused the pytorch(and tf eager mode) differentiation approaches with numerical methods.

I'm making a Pytorch inspired ML framework, and indeed, each op node, defines also a backward pass, which is a manual definition of a derivative. And going backwards over the ops graph, and combine derivatives for each op via chain rule to get the final gradient, looks indeed like a runtime analytical method rather than a numerical one.

The advantage of an automatic AD is not having to define the backward pass for each op, and the function that calculates the derivative being generated at compile time.

I've left the project marinate a bit, so the little knowledge I had is fading away.
> Some things are lost when everything is touch. [...]

Same here. I find even something simple as Tetris almost unplayable on a touch screen. I have the impression that kids generally don't have that problem, as they have grown up with touch screens. I don't understand how they do it.
> Freedom to do a thing implies protection from consequence, or you're not free.

This is a wild take on freedom. Do you seriously believe that free speech means that you should be able to say anything and be protected from any and all consequences?
I've started collecting different ways to include blog comments a few years ago [1]. After using Disqus for several years, I've removed the comments on my blog and link to social networks instead (mostly Twitter and Mastodon).

The main reason not to use OCaml but Rust is imho "no runtime needed" (aka better-C). This is why they considered Rust complementary to OCaml (which would not be true with F#, the multicore issue will be addressed soonish).
If anyone stumbles upon this but doesn't run Gnome (or probably any other DE): Avahi daemon needs to be running. If it isn't, RPiPlayer doesn't complain, but the mac doesn't see it.

I'm selling my popup tool – Wave
Found here:

https://github.com/Captainarash/The_Holy_Book_of_X86
If you’re running a closed source operating system (or large parts of it are closed source) why would you be particularly concerned about your browser?
It's called Wave. Wave is a popup tool where a users can get dozens of high quality popups. Wave contains extensive configuration and with 100% customization available.

This is a growing industry with multiple players that exists with million dollar ARR. The market is growing rapidly after COVID as more business, blogs have started their website.

Here's why I'm selling it:
I'm a marketer, with full time job who codes on the side. I lost the interest in programming on the way, and decided to stop pursuing it. The product is ready, but I haven't launched it yet!

And, that's gives a massive opportunity, as you can launch on Product Hunt and other platforms.

The tech stack includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript and jQuery for frontend. The backend is in Nodejs. Hosted on ec2, database is MySQL Amazon RDS, using S3 for storage, Elastic cache (Redis) for caching and rate limiting (optional to use, can be removed) and Cloudflare for caching and DNS management.

Here's the link: waveapp.io

Thanks,
I have even less use for JavaScript. I mostly do NLP and DL, so it's Julia and Python for me.
Odd, my NextDoor feed is really quite pleasant. Mostly people just selling odds and ends or looking for a handyman. I wonder how rare that is?
If they are borrowing a share then how is it naked short selling?

To understand the scenario where a short is forced to cover imagine you are the exchange. You don’t own shares. You just match orders and move money around and so on. One of the things you do, for margin players, is lend short-sellers shares that others bought on margin from the exchange. You bought it on margin to sell it and the other guy bought it margin to hold it. If the price spikes and the other guy wants to sell it what will you do?
Lot of customers, well mostly fluctuating prices are merely confusing, frustrating, and annoying.
>Yes, humans evolved to live in groups. However, we did not evolve to live in huge cities, surrounded by millions of people and tall concrete boxes. That would scare the soul out of our ancestors.

Well, it gets us to stress, depression, suicides, the loneliness epidemic, and other such day-to-day suffering today too (plus obesity, poor physique, etc).

Living in a better environment, without the "huge cities, surrounded by millions of people and tall concrete boxes" but keeping the modern advancements in medicine, sanitation, and so on, we would probably live 20+ years more...

> At some point, and I feel it is close, we need to subscribe to stuff and simply pay for the stuff we want and need to use.

The problem is not everyone has the means to pay for everything.

E.g. what if Youtube and other video sites switched to a paid only model? Youtube is full of educational videos which can help a poor person to learn stuff and make his situation better. Such persons would be at a disadvantage if they can't afford Youtube's fee.
You can definitely make the case that the large moderation infrastructure fielded by gigantic social media companies has been anywhere from imperfect to outright irresponsible.

The difference is, there was actual moderation. Parler, a tiny (2 orders of magnitude tinier than Twitter) appears to have had no moderation infrastructure at all.

Even the data in your first reference seems to suggest that Twitter alone has probably moderated more accounts than Parler has actually had.
I bought flip phone to my grandfather. It’s easy to use, as he just needs to physically open it to answer the call and close it to drop the call. I configured important numbers as shortcuts to 1-9, so he needs to press a button and that’s all. It worked quite good. The only issue is that modern phone factors tend to exclude flip phones.
LibrePlanet 2021: annual conference to promote Software Freedom
I am very very sorry to say this, but I suspect that in your situation you would face extremely long odds looking for a traditional tenure-track job.

You might have better luck looking for "academia adjacent" jobs; for example, several number theorists I know are now working at the Center for Communications Research -- a government contractor that does classified research in crypto and the like. Overall they seem to love their jobs, and some of them still do number theory research and go to conferences and such.
Could you cite specific examples of wrong or actually harmful information?

I do agree that there are lots of inaccuracies in articles, but having Wikipedia with at least somewhat helpful information is infinitely better than having nothing at all.

As someone who doesn't code all day any longer, factorio really tickles that part of my brain.

Every problem that needs to be overcome, every obstacle in the path, every idiotic decision I curse is something I did previously just to get things working. Then I run out of space. Or I need to pipe water in. Or a factory is outputting to the left when outputting to the right would be a better decision .... hmm ... do I move 200 componenets or just ... slap a train station in? Or 1,000 belts? ARGH! I've done it again!
My thoughts exactly. There is 0 chance they could buy a substantial amount of shorts from small players and anyone with a serious enough pile of cash would be insane to sell a short then. It really sounds like someone without basic understanding parroting a narrative

Sync to me is an anti-feature that seems like a privacy nightmare, I especially don't want it to going to an advertising company.

Similarly, the vast majority of new browser APIs are absolute garbage infested with security flaws. Most of them are abused almost exclusively by ad networks, including WASM, Audio Context, Beacon and more.
>And every single language server has to reimplement all these from scratch.

This is mostly true about IDEA as well. Take a look at the extractFunction implementation from IntelliJ Rust:

https://github.com/intellij-rust/intellij-rust/tree/6b2c4dfa...

It is based on a generic `RefactoringActionHandler`, and not on the specialized `ExtractFunctionActionHandler`.

There's relatively little code sharing you can do for high-level things in IDEs.

The use interface sharing is another thing, and that is exactly what LSP achieves: it standardizes common actions across many languages.
It also supports Javascript now, and they seemed to have deprecated AS1 & 2 support. I've even seen some TS definitions on the internet.
It's easier just to find a better place to discuss your thoughts. Many subreddits especially anything politically related are echo chambers.

I'll skip the code part - I guess you know how to evaluate that one.

I'm not a great interviewer myself, but what I learned from watching others is: if you ask open ended questions and encourage longer answers you can try to find out what level the dev is thinking at. An extreme version would be something like "tell me about starting a new web project in Ruby". Does that person concentrate on "rails new" creating an empty app? On setting the environment of source control, place for collaboration? On gathering requirements to get an idea what framework/libraries would be needed?

Don't expect a single question to reveal everything, but a few can give you an idea what level to expect.
My list should give you some ideas: https://darekkay.com/blog/static-site-comments/#self-hosted

No, r/wallstreetbets was encouraging users to actively gamble with their investments, Robinhood was just allowing its users to make their own decisions, like any investment app for grown ups should.

I think this can be solved. This may surprise many, but I use virtual reality for all of my heavy reading, without any issue whatsoever. It basically feels like I am reading on a movie screen.

While my use case is different than most, I personally have a print related disability (severe convergence insufficiency), which requires the use of assistive technology. Anyways, the app I use is called Retinopsy Look VR, which is available in Viveport. It is intended for people with visual impairments and is super adjustable. I think the adjustability is key. To augment my reading experience, I use a screen reader called Kurzweil 3000, which reads the text aloud to me, with the sentence being read in yellow and the word being read aloud in green, simultaneously.

I use a Valve Index headset with prescription lenses that are adapted to the headset (I got them from VR Optician). I also use a laptop with an i9 10th gen processor, a 2080 Super video card, 32 GB RAM, and SSDs as hard drives. The only thing I do not like about my setup is the fact that it is not wireless and also the fact that base stations (“lighthouses”) are required.
i wanted to add lambdas to JS, this was back in 2001 i think, so i had this compiler from my compiler class, changed it to parse JS (+ my extra features like the ()=>{} syntax) and generate an AST in XML (instead of emitting bytecode), then i made a python script that took the XML and generated minified JS from it.
You're right about Swift for Tensorflow. It is an interesting development. I have installed swift on Linux just to play with it. Was dissapointed to see that Swift for Tensorflow was a fork of the Swift compiler, and haven't followed whether it's being refreshed, and whether there are any plans to merge it back.

Ideally an LLVM tool should allow languages that compile to LLVM(I'm mostly interested in Rust and Julia) to leverage it without dramatically changing their compilers.

It would be interesting to see something like JAX in Rust, exposing the AD functionality in the Standard Library, paired with a high performance SIMD/GPU array type. Things could get very interesting.
Whew, "some" is putting it lightly.
Counter-evidence from a controlled experiment:

https://www.ncjrs.gov/App/Publications/abstract.aspx?ID=2674...

tl;dr police were 25 times less likely to shoot an unarmed suspect in a simulation, if that suspect was black instead of white.

A little bit of common sense explains why. It would simply be inconceivable that the officer who shot Daniel Shaver to death would have been acquitted had Shaver been black instead of white. The kind of social backlash that an acquittal in such a case would elicit would ensure the political and judicial system punish the officer.

I understand software engineering requires more than solving programming problems. Honestly I am not worried about this because I have developed good people skills and have experience managing people and projects. I have interviewed and hired people...when looking at underlying principals, professions share commonality in terms of work practises. If one is capable, it should not be a problem to move between fields following an adjustment period. If one has a rigid mindset and learns by rote, then it would be a problem. I also have a good understanding of business models, marketing, budgets, accounting which is helpful in any context but particularly software engineering where many professionals may not be as well versed or as motivated to understand these things.

Yes I dont have to earn £100k as a SWE to be happy. I know people who work in finance as SWE earning easily more than £100k and will soon be remote. Given I have a good understanding of the business side of finance, I think I would make a good programmer in this area.

Daniel Kochmański [1] has been continually improving the features and performance of this very advanced library. Kudos to him, because it’s a lot of thankless dirty work dealing with the intricacies of X and the CLIM standard [2], and his work is hitherto relatively unappreciated.

CLIM is such an interesting and different GUI paradigm, and when the implementation works it’s both a joy and a mind-bending experience. (CLIM has been implemented and re-implemented commercially and in open-source many times over in the past 30 years, but the OS’s keep changing!)

In one of my first jobs I wrote a little SQL database editor with LispWorks CLIM, and it was really nice to have “object presentations”. The non-technical staff of the company could easily edit complex data/objects in this database without knowing anything about what it was behind the scenes, and it didn’t take all that much programming to make it possible.
