I found myself in a similar situation. I'm not suggesting this is what's happening to you, but in case it helps: my mistake was that the light and sound were increasing too quickly and my body was turning away from the light and shutting off the alarm before I had became conscious.

The approach that worked for me was:

- Increasing light from warm dim (~100 lumens) to bright white (1000+ lumens) over the course of ~30m. Even though you're not conscious and your eyelids are closed your eyes are still responding to the light and rebooting your circadian rhythm.

- A few minutes after the light reaches the brightest setting, have a sound-based alarm. I have nature sounds that start quiet and get progressively louder over about ten minutes, but I usually wake up after less than a minute.

- Getting into bed at a consistent time (+/-20m) seven and a half hours before the sound-based alarm. This is the hardest part since I rarely feel tired that early (yes, even when I've exercised) and it feels like a waste of time to lie in bed and stare at the ceiling. But I know from regular experience that when I wait until I'm tired to get in bed I have an unproductive morning.

Basic research (IE things that are not monetizable in the near(ish) term) don't get anywhere near enough funding. Companies do a great job taking things from 1% to 100. There is a funding gap for the first bit.

A solution is definitely needed for that, I don't think a government funded agency will do it though.
I was working remotely pre-pandemic although I traveled a fair bit.

I don't set an alarm most days. Usually is I have a meeting at 9am or earlier I will "just in case." (I'm usually up earlier.) And if I have something critical--like an early plane when I was traveling (which they mostly were)--I'd even set two alarms.
Seconded, I thought it was very insightful.
Then keep using the curated store? It only hurts if Apple's store can't compete with alternative ones. There's no such problem on Android because developers and users are fine with the Play Store.

Epic even tried doing a sideloaded Fortnite for Android and people didn't download it, so they came back.
Nobody is going to not put their app on the apple app store. Look at steam for example. Almost every game on steam can be purchased somewhere else, like icth.io or the game's website. 30% is industry standard among monopolistic players (Google play store, Apple app store, Steam). There are many other storefronts that take less of a cut, and don't require IAP to go through a specific payment system that the platform also owns. FDroid, MS Store, Epic Store, Galaxy Store, GOG, the list goes on.
Not at these prices. You'd be losing huuuge amounts of money continuing to mine when electricity prices have shot up 10-100X. If you really want that Bitcoin it'd be much cheaper to turn your miners off and then just buy it at market price those few days while electricity prices are insanely high.

> Also, they hold up the "floor price" for electricity and push it up, meaning that electricity prices will never be cheaper.

This comment seems unconnected to the present situation in Texas.
I am having a hard time understanding what you are saying, perhaps you could restate? Coding is not a soft skill, even if that is in a capacity where it's used ancillary to other tasks such as the ones you mentioned.

I am glad you mentioned it, because communication and trust, on the flip side, are soft skills. You can foster trust through excellent communication and understanding Where the engineering manager does not excel in a particular area of expertise, he or she will defer to the ones that do. A good engineering manager knows their weaknesses, and how to ask for help. The good engineering manager will seek to gather understanding of the technical debts and use that to represent the coding team well. Again communicating those decisions effectively are orthogonal to that process (meaning you can communicate a poor decision effectively just as well as communicating a good decision effectively)
Okay, well let's start with firing, and let's assume since his bad advice was in march 2020 then any repercussions would happen within the next few months when it became obvious that masks should definitely be worn.

The two people with the power to fire Dr Fauci are the NIH director, and the president (via his power over the NIH director). In fact by summer 2020 Dr Fauci had earned the ire of the White House, but for essentially the opposite reason (this was when the White House was still trying to underplay the pandemic as not-that-bad, going-away-soon, it'll be an Easter miracle, etc). As such the NIH director aligned with Dr Fauci against the White house, and Fauci was seen as the "defender of wearing masks" or somesuch. For example, consider the following article:

https://www.statnews.com/2020/07/16/francis-collins-defends-...

I don't think it's impossible to have seen Fauci fired if that's how Trump played it politically. But it's not.

Consider the following:

> Trump, in particular, has openly disagreed with Fauci’s guidance on whether fans should attend professional football games in the fall [...]

> In recent weeks, as the U.S. outbreak has spiraled out of control, Fauci has urged Americans to wear masks and to practice social distancing. The White House, however, has refused to amplify his advice, and instead has escalated its attacks on him.

The white house was trying to stimulate the economy by reassuring people it's okay to go out and spend money. Attacking Dr. Fauci for not being serious enough about masks sends the opposite signal. Hence, Fauci became the "wear a mask" guy (as viewed in opposition to the White House). Thus, everyone forgot / didn't care that early on he was wrong about masks.

Hope that cleared things up.
Pretty much. I’ve always heard people say that they want places like Twitter and IG to keep accounts open for memories, but what you described is exactly it; a centralized memorial.
the point is that even if the participants are okay with it, it still harms people who are unwilling to participate. if I'm a sex worker, my work is sex. nothing wrong with charging money for that. if I'm a software engineer, my work has nothing to do with sex, and my career progression should not be impeded by my refusal to have sex with my boss.

Corn prices have not risen much over decades (graph at https://www.macrotrends.net/2532/corn-prices-historical-char... ), which means the inflation-adjusted price of corn has been falling. So crop yields are more than sufficient.

> Yeah, a lot of startups are under resourced in terms of people though. Maybe nobody is threatening you, but as you settle into the role you kind of realize that working a bit more could actually be the difference success and failure.

This is completely my opinion and shaped from my own experience. But if you're working at an understaffed startup, the bottleneck for 'success' is usually not the engineering team, and also almost definitely not correlated with butt-in-seat time and amount of code contributed. Not saying that's what you were implying, but just want to clarify that's the direction I'm coming from.

It's up to the business's leaders to determine what should be prioritized with the resources they have and take risks on building out those ideas accordingly. If you, as an engineer, begin working nights and weekends to have the company 'succeed', you're now communicating to management there's all this untapped engineering capacity. You give the illusion that more can consistently be done than is actually sustainable and no one wins when the engineering team burns out 6-12 months later. Well, maybe the company does somewhat when you leave and forfeit all your stock options back to the pool...

In my opinion, the biggest impact you can make as an engineer at any level is by stepping away at the end of the day, doing your own thing, and every now and then just think holistically about what you're doing at work and the direction the product you're working on is going in. Your butt-in-seat time will become far more productive as a result.
I was intending to make a more general statement on the effects of the practice on all participants and in other industries.

The disadvantage for being "not willing to engage" would be applied to those potential artists who refused the sexual advances of these people and were therefore passed over; despite potentially being a better candidate. I think you could even argue that there may be an element of coercion if the person was willing to engage originally. Now that your manager is responsible for your career are you really safe in saying no the second time?

The question is really whether we're okay with allowing sexual favours to be placed over merit when accepting people into an industry. I think the answer is unequivocally no, even in industries where sex is the product.
Mercurial's subrepos implement the exact same functionality as git submodules, but they do it without being as bafflingly broken as git's attempt.
Test the waters again maybe. I've been feeling this change pretty recently.

I'm not predicting any kind of revolution, and this is all at the margin. I don't expect TV takestars or politicians to be the vanguard. That said, I have noticed people pondering the unknowability of it all. More interest in margin or error equivalents. Stuff like that.

Example: Covid conversations (the one I have in mind was with my aunt) 6 months ago were along the lines of "the government did X, Y happened." Now, it's wondering whether X impacted Y... counterfactual thinking.

I have yet to encounter this in my work/corporate life though, and honestly, that's where it's most needed.
That's a reasonable but exactly backwards way of looking at it. Indeed, Unicode captures a wide range of what we consider text, but text is not Unicode. There are languages with symbols that Unicode can't represent but they are still text -- to claim otherwise is to erase them.

Something closer to a definition of text is parts of their criteria for encoding symbols [1] but even that is imperfect.

One argument in favor of multiple App Stores is that Apple has historically been very aggressive about globally banning entire product categories they dislike or apps that offend the governments of foreign countries. Apple can continue to exercise this discretion without harming consumer choice if they offer sideloading for end users (or at least make their browser more capable, with full support for PWAs and modern web APIs)
Yep, correct! Thanks :-)

That's not a special deal, though. Just because a reporter didn't know about doesn't mean it was special for Amazon. Your own article even mentions other providers that were already using that and, most importantly, it only applies to renewals of existing subscriptions that were started outside the app. It can't be exclusive to Amazon if other platforms are also already taking advantage of that same process.

New purchases follow the same 30/15 rule as every other developer.
Submodules used to be terrible to use but now that every tool supports it they are usable.

A lot of dependency managers are moving to supporting git repos which I think is great. An annoying thing about this though it is causes several round trips to origin that can be saved with submodules. It's never easy...

Its better to treat submodules as src dependencies and not wannabe mono-repo tool. Try not to change them. If you read-only they're somewhat painless.
"Incentives"

Apple recently introduced the App Store Small Business Program, slashing their app revenue taken by 50% to accommodate the 'small players' (<1 million annual revenue).
The config file syntax matches that of the old pre-4.5 OpenBSD pf but the code under the hood has seen much evolution. FreeBSD's pf is SMP-capable, for one thing, unlike OpenBSD's that "will only use one processor": http://www.openbsd.org/faq/pf/perf.html

While the argument might be overblown in many cases you can’t really deny that many South/South-Western European countries have huge youth unemployment rates, especially in low incomes areas, which can at least partially be attributed to minimum wage laws.

Ok, I hear you. However, I cofounded a medical startup with 3 surgeons, seeing their day to day routine pretty closely, at their offices, at home, etc...

And they definitely worked around their own schedule.
They either owned their own practice, or worked at a larger one, and controlled their own scheduling via their team. Surgeries are scheduled weeks or months in advanced. Only when an emergency came in they needed to shuffle things around - basically the same thing with engineers and planned deployments vs random outages.

> none of them will go to yoga with a pending surgery

Ok, yeah, of course they are not going to just up and leave when there is an appointment or deadline. That has nothing to do with whether or not they chose the time of that appointment in the first place.

> They might schedule their work around kids and family and whatnot

Silviculture is an interesting subject, and while you're right that a lot of pulpwood is sourced from timber plantations, that isn't entirely benign. It is an an agricultural process and many use fertilizers (haber-bosch process, natural gas inputs), insecticides, and fungicides. On the production end, the modern kraft process plant still produces air and water pollution.

Mostly folks in Oregon and Chicago and elsewhere online. I'm not going to give you their names on the Internet when I'm not willing to give you my own name. Many weren't violent themselves but were condoning or praising those who were. They liken "anti-fascist" violence to allied forces at D-Day.

You can't buy Amazon Prime through the app. What people are referring to is the fact that existing subscriptions are allowed to renew without the 30% cut. People are misframing that as an exception for Amazon even though there are several platforms in the same situation that already benefit from the same policy that Amazon now agrees to.
That's a biased comparison. Obviously an image is better at communicating an image. By setting the goalposts at "pixel perfect recreation" you've already selected a winner.

Does anyone else take it as a red flag that somebody had lots of HR complaints and is unwilling to say what, exactly, prompted them? The implication is that they weren't warranted but without knowing what he said it's kind of hard to say. If he was dropping N-bombs left and right, I would find it hard to be sympathetic.
Show HN: Moneto – Cash planning tool for running a profitable business
Hi HN, David from Moneto here.

After months of sheer hard work, I’m excited to open Moneto to everyone. I started Moneto because running a business with guesstimates, or with spreadsheets was a no-deal for me. I’m not a number person but a visual learner so a simple chart that anyone can understand by just a look is a game-changer.

So then your argument is just anti-Apple and not actually based on any principles...
No worries. Just thought I'd answer in detail rather than hand-waving so that anyone who was reading might understand where I was coming from rather than just looking for an argument on the internet :)
While it is there, being female and in both industries myself I have to say that it's like comparing a cup of water to a bucket in terms of the sheer amount of sexual abuse that goes on in the music industry. And I say that as a victim of IT workplace sexual assault, and I unfortunately did exactly as you posted. :(

The music industry is harrowing. It's not to discount the very real trauma myself and others have gone through in the IT workplace - it sucks, it's shitty and it shouldn't be. However, the last decade especially, I've noticed IT has gotten progressively and better at this, and if women in my workplace or previous two were seriously mistreated everyone would be shocked and people would be immediately fired.

I don't have a lot of time to list off the horror stories right now, but pretty much everything you've heard about abuse in Hollywood is true, and it's much worse than you've heard.

I guess the abuse is just so much more systematic, established, and regular in the music industry, and; despite #metoo - it is unfortunately not progressing or evolving in the way that I have personally witnessed the IT industry do over the last decade. It just seems like more people have been exposed.

There's some bad apples in IT but tbh very often you do hear about them, and it destroys companies and careers.

The good apples in the music industry are the exception, not the rule, and in IT that playing field is incredibly more even.
People offended here are exactly the bubble of entitled morons in Silicon Valley that this guy is talking about. I totally agree with everything he said, companies where you have to work long hours and don't receive lots of weird benefits like yoga and sushi are the places I want to work. I would much prefer to have my compensation include more equity in the company, and for my performance to actually be related to the value provided to customers and the fundamental value of the company.
The contents of the Play Store have nothing to do with Android's ability to sideload.
I don't disagree, I think some ideas are better expressed as text others by other forms of media. E.g., that's why we use graphs, diagrams, storyboards, flowcharts, etc... in addition to text to communicate.

For the record, I came up with this thought, about computers and software being optimized for text, by realizing I learned the best by reading information presented as a combination of text and media (e.g., a textbook with diagrams), but when I communicate with a computer, I always just use text, why? Well, making media with a computer is a huge PITA, I'm assuming because you program the computer itself with text, so its entire interface seems optimized for that. (This is particularly interesting looking in contrast to smartphones and tablets, which are entirely not optimized for text.)
