Great question! I'll try to cover them :)

1. While we do use pull requests as a unit of measure, we don't actually consider # of commits and # of pull requests as great proxies for productivity. We mainly track Cycle Time, Deployment Frequency, Change Failure Rate, and Throughput which help encapsulate speed vs. quality of an engineering teams. It's important for engineering metrics to correlate to engineering work. Specifically, that the engineering team has full control over those metrics. When looking from an Epic, Story, or Task perspective - this is often controlled by other parties, making it more difficult to know if engineering itself is improving or not. In addition to this, Epics often don't reflect actual engineering work in the same way that pull requests in Github do making them problematic to focus on.

2. Because we focus on engineering work itself from Github. Haystack can be used with any methodology so long as the team is using Git!

3. From an engineering perspective, the main goal is '# of successful iterations'. Product's main goal is that those successful iterations are pointed in the right direction. Looking at # of successful iterations (aka speed, deployment frequency, and quality) allow us to see how often we deploy value to customers and what is the quality of those deployments. Focusing on these metrics allow engineering teams to improve 'how they deliver'.

4. We actively don't look at individual engineers and we especially don't compare them using any metric since we've seen that lead to some bad takeaways like the one you mentioned. We help measure at the team-level to simply highlight improvements and bottlenecks rather than cross-compare any team or individual which is like comparing apples to oranges
I recommend this hobby to the neurotic, depressed and phobic. A psilocybin trip isn't always pleasant, and any kind of gardening takes time and effort, but the risks are relatively low (comparable to antidepressants, etc.?) and the potential rewards in terms of inner peace are high.

It's also a blast to watch 'em pop up, the rapid endgame of a drama that intensifies over weeks.

As I understand it, if you don't desiccate them the legal risks are quite low. Given their benefits it's a crying shame that you can't buy these over the counter at the local store. This is so much less a substance of abuse than so many of the other things they sell.
We haven't explored that, but carbon capture technology would work for residential chimneys. The challenge would be figuring out how to pick up the captured CO2 from so many different locations. One of the reason we're initially targeting trucks is that they drive on extremely concentrated freight corridors, so we'll mainly have to collect CO2 from truck stops along a set of key routes.

Quick tips for securing your API
To be honest, the easiest way is to 1) Buy and install a bunch of ring cameras and 2) Buy and learn to use a Mossberg 500 with a 18" barrel. Maybe another gun, too. Total cost: Idk, $800-1800.
It even kind of shipped in the form of Xeon Phi, without graphics though, including in the first version a precursor of AVX-512 (and in next versions subsets of AVX-512 that are not exactly the same as the ones most in use today... it's a mess...)

Yeah, I've had a similar thought to that before... as you scale up, the whole "cache" thing is just not a service you can have, because a cache must only speed up the thing being cached, it should ideally have no other visible impacts. As a site scales up and becomes dependent on a cache, it is really not a "cache" anymore, and both terminology and mindset should change as a result.

If your site comes crashing down because the cache went down, it's not a cache anymore and you should use a different mindset in approaching it.

The answer varies depending on a whole lot of relevant numbers that can vary widely, but an example of an answer I have in one of my systems is that I store all the cache queries more persistently than the cache answers. This particular system gets hammered with requests that are mostly the same as last time at certain times but spends a lot of time idle. The numbers work out that if I'm trying to compute the cache during one of my crunches, I need a huge amount of resources for just a couple of minutes, but if I restart the service between these crunches, there's plenty of time to recompute the entire cache before it is necessary with no additional resources. But that's just one particular example of not really being a "cache" anymore suitable in my very particular case.

GameStop stock extends win streak into sixth day
It is my understanding that the entire point of the async/await sugar in any language is to explicitly take away the appearance of multithreading/concurrency/parallelism in code. I often see the argument for async/await syntax as being made in the following way, it is not natural or feasible to reason about concurrent and multithreaded code, programmers need to be able to reason about all code as though it were a linear list of instructions no matter what is going on with the implementation, therefore, we need the async/await syntax to enable linear, straight line code appearance for programmer benefit. While I do not agree that doing so is at all a good thing, it is the most prevelant argument I have seen in justifying async/await style sugar. If I am right and this is the primary motivation for adding this to a language, your comment is in direct opposition to the entire point of such constructs. Using this reasoning, I think the author was doing as suggested and writing multithreaded code as though it was just a non threaded imperative program.

Note: I don’t really disagree with your view, but it seems that view is in the minority.

Does the weight of the CO2 negatively impact the fuel efficiency of the truck in any appreciable way?
Sure, but this study does not convince me that the drivers lacked situational awareness.

They may have been paying attention to the pertinent details like whether the car was going to ingress their lane, overtake speed, etc. rather than the car's decorations.

Drivers may have even seen the bear but simply not committed it to memory since they were focused on driving.

In contrast, it was the drivers that were familiar with the car that most often remembered the bear, perhaps this was because they were paying less attention to defensive driving since they felt more comfortable and had attention to spare allowing them to remember passing car decor.
Not really, the basis for the desktop metaphor came from research done at IBM, and it was very extensively revised at Apple for Lisa. (See “Inventing the Lisa User Interface” from ACM Interactions in 1995.)
> Until you travel you don't even have the slightest clue what a privilege it is to speak English

Agreed; almost everywhere, you can find someone who knows some English. The other time I realized who a privilege it is was looking for a second language to learn. There isn't a clear answer if you already know English. The English privilege you might completely miss is that, outside of China, the internet is English-first.

Absolutely. One of our first pilot offloading stations is actually about 6 miles from a concrete producer. The other piece is that we'll add our technology to the tanker trucks that are transporting the CO2. It'll take us a few more years to get close to 100% capture, so between now and then, we won't be able to fully mitigate those extra emissions, which is why initially we're working with end users that are very close to our offload stations.
Other than nitpicking the terminology/analogies used, I find myself in broad agreement with this post, although I would have liked a bit more analysis (even just backward looking) in terms of the market dynamics (eg. why PaaS lost it's early momentum and we backslid to assembling custom platforms out of IaaS components and services, the cautionary tale that OpenStack presents to efforts like OpenAPI, etc.), but I understand why not revealing one's thoughts on strategy might be the smarter choice.

OTOH, I really would have expected Heroku to be mentioned in the 'SaaSification of Rails' section (since Heroku is literally 'Rails as a Service'), if only to state that it wasn't the intended meaning of the phrase (although Heroku's add-on marketplace can be seen as a stab in that direction).

Who consumes it, anyhow? What is it useful for? Can it simply be stored somewhere in mostly inert form? Can we pour it into a cave or a fracking hole or something and just let it be? Or does it turn back into a gas and escape?
See if you can get some equity. That could solve your problem and it will keep you focused so it's in their interest to do that. This is why equity is useful as an employer. Whether that equity is worth a lot will depend on the plans for the company and the market opportunity.

In terms of your other question.. Paul Graham discusses it on his website but you have to make something people want. He also has an essay on how to get ideas. YC also publishes categories of startups they are interested in funding.

You don't even have to be original. There are 5+ ways to order take out or get groceries delivered.

Freelance and consulting can help you survey a broad spectrum of the market. If you are good, people will eventually come to you. Joining a big consultancy like McKinsey etc gives you insight into big company and big govt problems.

The other thing YC advises is to asks your customers what they want. Really listen to them.

In Sales you solve customer problems by asking "why are they asking me this question".

Me, I will bookmark sites and visit them when I feel like it.

RSS never worked properly for me when it was "big" in the 2000s. Half the time I'd click the RSS icon on a site and it would display XML code and an error message I didn't understand.

At the end of the day, it's also still a 'feed'. The websites I visit write about a variety of topics, and I'm only interested in a couple. For that use case, it's simpler to just visit the site on a regular basis.

I do save articles to Pocket though, as I can't stand the news website trend of breaking up the article flow with embedded tweets, Related Articles links, email signup CTAs and what not.
Ethereum is on the forefront of some of the hardest problems in distributed systems and security today. If anything, public blockchains have really pushed the edges of research in some of these spaces, particularly around consensus, crypto, and mechanism design.

Imagining things is never the same as facing a finality that has been ingrained throughout your life in your psyche.

You can't accurately imagine being old until you're old. You can't accurately imagine being right at the edge of life until you're there. It's like imagining how you'll feel at the end of a movie that wasn't filmed yet, or what the last block of a blockchain will look like before being close to it. When you're there and have the power of retrospective it's easier to have a final perspective, and even easier to express it since the concept of consequence no longer exists for you.

On one hand you have the full experience of your life so it's easy to draw the line of what was important. On the other hand this never takes into account how many of those "bad" decisions got you where you are now. So the deathbed perspective is the individual's assessment on what were the high and low points of their life, after computing the whole equation. Like deciding which block in the blockchain you're most proud of, it's only possible once you went through all of it.
I see people nonchalantly saying they've done these cross-country bike touring trips, and I have an ignorant question: how do people feel safe while actually riding on the road?

Riding bikes around neighborhoods I can understand when cars are only going 20-25mph, but to travel between cities you'll certainly have to go on either very fast, very busy, or very fast and very busy roads, right? I'd like to understand this because I imagine long distance biking must feel very freeing and exciting.
If your head is down in the car, you lose track of what's going on outside and have to reaquire situational awareness from scratch when you 'wake up'. That takes longer at best, and you may miss something important at worst.

Small things like bikes and pedestrians are frequently occluded and you may miss the glimpses of them you needed to predict their future trajectory.

We could argue about the absolute importance of this effect, but it's definitely real.

The cost and timeline estimates for building new reactors at Vogtle and VC Summer were woefully lowballed.

The VC Summer project was ultimately cancelled in 2017, 4 years after construction started, with no reactor completed. $9 billion had already been spent. Utility executives criminally concealed the dire state of the project before it was cancelled.

"US utility boss pleads guilty to fraud over failed nuclear construction scheme"

https://www.globalconstructionreview.com/news/us-utility-bos...

With the guilty plea, Marsh admitted that he intentionally defrauded ratepayers by giving over-optimistic assessments of progress on the scheme so that his company could obtain rate increases from Scana’s customers and qualify for up to $2.2bn in tax credits.

After the scheme broke ground in March 2013, it suffered delays and cost overruns. By late 2016, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Marsh knew that efforts by engineer Westinghouse to improve the pace and productivity of the project were “woefully inadequate”.

...

Shortly after, Marsh fraudulently withheld this information from South Carolina’s utility regulator.

"US executive pleads guilty in nuclear project delay cover-up"

https://www.globalconstructionreview.com/news/us-executive-p...

A former executive of South Carolina utility Scana Corp has pleaded guilty to his role in what investigators called a “breathtaking” conspiracy to hide unresolvable problems in a project to build a $10bn nuclear power plant.

Prosecutors said Byrne knew the scheme was hopelessly behind and over budget, but that his and co-conspirators’ deceptions allowed Scana to obtain rate increases from Scana’s customers to continue financing it.

There are no criminal charges I'm aware of in connection with the Vogtle project, but it seems to have been estimated with a similarly ludicrous degree of optimism. Construction started in March 2013. In 2014 Georgia Power was telling the public that its new reactors would be operating in 2017 and 2018 respectively.

Here's a timeline of how Vogtle costs escalated through 2018:

https://www.powermag.com/how-the-vogtle-nuclear-expansions-c...

It went from an estimate of $15.5 billion in 2013 to $27 billion in 2018. Vogtle 3 may finally start this year if there aren't further delays.

Why? Bluetooth isn’t perfect but it the fidelity is not so poor as to reverse the “warmth” of the analog distortion, and even a cheap ADC won’t either... it should reproduce it pretty well.

What people get wrapped up in cognitive dissonance is that they equate “pleasing” with hi fidelity... but anything likeable about vinyl is because it is low fidelity — but if you tell certain people this they take it as a pretty personal attack. Anyway, a decent digital signal chain should reproduce this low fidelity pretty well including high bitrate SBC.
Thank you. Other than unions, I don't see any other solution to the fundamental imbalance. It's (group + resources) vs (group + resources) until groups with the most resources decide they want to be nice. Until that becomes a reality, via regulation or epiphany or whatever, any expectation that it's not David vs Goliath is naive.

My dotcom 1.0 employer did exactly the same thing, although I think ours was called 'Black Box'.

If a recruiter said they had 'Black Box' candidates ready and waiting to come in for interviews we knew the recruiter would lie, cheat and steal to get candidates placed (and their fat commission cheque).

If a recruiter said they hadn't heard of Black Box but would reach out to their pool of candidates, they'd be considered a bit more trustworthy and perhaps worth doing business with.
I don't expect to ever have either the chance or the true desire to do this, but I've often wondered if I could, with literally zero additional preparation, spend a full 8 hour day presenting an answer to that question extemporaneously. If I couldn't, I'm not off by much at this point.
You should ask how it went for people who didn't quit their job and travelled 'the world', for a few weeks every year.

You may be surprised to find that that's a far more common and well rounded way of living :)

People who glorify travel don't seem to grasp that everywhere you go, people are living the life you left behind to go travel. They've got jobs, they've got kids, they've got their pub, their netflix, whatever.

The people who comment on here about how much travel has changed them are mostly young. When you're young, anything changes you. You don't need to go half-way across the world, just go volunteer at a homeless shelter, join a martial arts school, whatever. That'll change you too and you're far more likely to meet your wife/friends in your local community, than half-way across the world and have it work out.

Of course you don't get to share cool Instagram pics and get likes when you volunteer at a homeless shelter vs going to Egypt, but that's a whole nother story.

I used to work for a company based outside the US, but with a significant US presence. A colleague embedded in another team in the foreign office for three months and ended extending it to four. Probably the easiest way to do it because the company sorted out visa issues (or if he kept it to 89 days, he'd just be traveling for business), and he had a job on both ends of it.
Gas is as combustive as hydrogen - so not sure what you are referring to as a mechanic.

Hydrogen leaks much faster and dissipates quickly into the atmosphere (unlike gas/diesel) defusing the risk of combustion (flip side is much harder to contain and systems need to be tighter). However if it gets caught under pressure it has a risk to it.

Absolutely, but that was kind of my point. A lot of recruiters I've encountered are like talking to a markov chain trained from some job ads. It sounds right if you don't actually know what the words mean.
Well, I learned everything I needed to know about mushroom growing over the past two years from what sounds like a 16 year old on YT. It doesn’t seem like direct ad revenue or listing is the goal for these kids. It’s only about sharing knowledge and passion. The other more serious ones make money by making deals directly with the companies who’s products they show off, without YT’s participation.

Not that I disagree - it just seems to me that video is the medium of today’s internet.
