I bought my first MTB in the 90s, and bar ends was something that I bought in addition, they were not standard from the factory. That was before downhill biking became a big thing, geometry was still very classical (triangle, either no suspension or just front wheel) and we were mostly doing more mild uphill/downhill riding on forest roads. The bar ends were helpful for the uphill part, because you could push the bike left-right more easily standing up while pedalling.

If you wouldn't mind my asking, what was Soviet life like for you?
Posted a link yesterday, probably too soon :-). Meanwhile I added better documentation and added the "Show HN" prefix.
Same. I've had it so long I can't even remember when I purchased it. There's some wear and tear to it, but nothing major. Also, I've never experienced any pain using it for extended periods.
My initial reaction was that this was a pen tester getting a little overzealous. After looking at it a little more that's not great, it's odd that they're not doing more to fix it (although maybe I'm missing something.)
By default, windows hides file extensions and pushes Office to be OneDrive first.

The problem with these features is that people have varying needs and don’t understand or respect what they are! Filing is a great example, everyone keeps files, but most people have no organization. That’s why once upon a time companies hired people to file things. It’s also why Apple tried to kill the file metaphor for iOS.

MacOS has the wacky finder UI, but the search is best in class and once people discover it, they just go away and do their thing.
Could handlebar makers’ fear of lawsuits play a role? Bar-ends have to be tightened with much more torque than ordinary grips (8Nm for bar ends, as opposed to 4–5Nm for ordinary grips). However, makers of many popular MTB handlebars don’t want to certify their bars for that much torque, and so they just tell their customers that the bars are not compatible with bar ends.
Yep, it's solving for the majority case. As long as it doesn't block signup you can just ignore it.
I read the article and comments and still can't work out what the hell bar ends are...
No offense but if an organization does not listen to engineering in determining how to deal with a technical problem, that is an enormous red flag.

While maybe the engineer won't actually make the call, the engineer should inform management's understanding of the costs of the approach and the efficacy of alternatives, and management should go along with that recommendation unless they have a good reason not to. Of course tone is important, someone saying "fuck no, I ain't doing that" likely indeed would be unpleasant to work with, but a respectful "I would recommend against doing that" is the sign of a confident and intelligent professional.
You would be absolutely amazed how effective flash cards and spaced repetition are at cramming arbitrary information into your head. Once you have definitions and jargon in place, it's significantly easier to learn the concepts and how things go together.
I didn't say cohesive.

I don't have any trouble getting Linux to behave the way I want.
> I think the claim about de-emphasizing climbing is BS.

I agree. Downhill is more popular than it was previously, but it hasn’t displaced regular biking. People doing shuttle runs and lift-served are a tiny minority.

Modern bikes climb better than ever. Bar ends were more of a holdover from road biking that quickly went away when everyone realized how undesirable they were on the mountain.
Does humanity really want an authority powerful enough to claim dominion over the entire planet?
I wrote down one idea at https://boa.nu/blog/2021/03/peace-of-mind-backup/
Machine learning is extremely useful, used in hundreds of industries for probably a million different things. Most of these uses are not exciting.

The latest trendy forms of machine learning, which are all some form of deep learning neural network, are pushing beyond the boundaries of human capability, but for a fairly narrow set of usecases. Some people get excited cause they can exceed human capabilities for some object recognition type of task, and then end up thinking that SkyNet is around the corner and they rightfully get called out for it.

You should know though that it is rarely the experts that are guilty of overhyping. It's usually VCs, or product managers, or marketers, or regular software engineers that took an intro class on Coursera where they were told exactly how to solve a problem but haven't yet been exposed to how hard it is to generalize.

With deep neural networks in particular, all of the new innovations have come from novel neural connection topologies. Most of the successful new topologies are the result of attempts to model biological function of some sorts, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. With neuron counts technically unbounded, and the topological search space essentially being the factorial of the neuron count, we will never fully explore the capabilities of neural networks, and only an infinitessimally tiny fraction of those would ever be useful in any circumstance. So deep learning is still extremely exciting because the opportunities are so boundless, yet still extremely disappointing because of how hard it is to find anything useful.
Thanks, over time in academia we would like to move our pricing towards departments or institutions paying, so our pricing model will likely evolve with that shift. Right now Curvenote is free for public projects (and one private one!) - and a similar price point to Overleaf (currently $17-$34/mo).
>How it hides files and directories, doesn't show extensions, etc.

Finder does that too. I didn't list it because it can be configured, which is IMO a sensible default for standard users.

>But there's one thing it gets right: it shows you where you are, and you can edit that to go anywhere.

YES! Finder allows to display a breadcrumb at the bottom, but the simplest way to go anywhere is Cmd+Shift+G. It sucks as a shortcut, and even then it's inferior to Explorer.
And why can't you ever 'close' Finder? One can only hide it.
I help run an all-remote team. I'm NOT the "single manager", thank god, I'm not capable of that. Product/eng is about 10-15 people right now. This is my first time in a managerial role but I'm still split between managing and IC work. I worry about a lot of things, but here's the rough priority list:

- Do all the engineers know what they should be working on?

- Do they know who from the product side they should go to for questions if the specs are unclear?

- Do business, product, eng, all agree on what we're doing? Does what we're doing match that agreement?

- Are our current communication norms meeting our needs (as little wasted time due to different timezones, working styles, as possible)?

- Is the build / test / dev loop fast enough? Are there tools that I need to upgrade / add / improve because we're now bottlenecked? Can we still get away without building XYZ?

- Are people happy with the work they're doing and with the people they're working with?

- Are people getting to work on things that push their skills and limits in a way that helps them keep growing? If not, is that OK for now?

- Are people taking enough time off when they want to so that they're not burning out?

- Hiring: do we need to, are we pipelined correctly so that we're bringing new people on roughly when we'll need them?

- Are we meeting all of our legal / security needs?

- Are we meeting the right amount of the eng needs from the rest of the company, that may not be explicitly product related?

- Is my dev work good enough / on time?

- What's this new error, is it important, do I need to help diagnose and debug?

- I should write a blogpost about <X>

---

The thing that drains me most is trying to do both management/comms work and hard technical work on the same day. I do my best to manage my schedule so I have long blocks of either one or the other but inevitably I'm interrupted. So it goes.

I reach out to former coworkers and mentors for advice. Everything I'm doing is based on what I've seen my former managers and team leads do in the past, and I'm so grateful to them for having demonstrated good leadership.

I'm not missing any tools. Team is largely happy. We're going to switch to BuildKite to improve build times (currently on Google Cloud Build) for our frontend container, but after that we should be set for a while.

I'm thankful to work with the team here at Pipe. I don't need to be perfect for things to work. We all give each other room to experiment. I have never had a more enjoyable working experience.

EDIT: we're hiring for product / frontend-oriented engineers, feel free to email me peter@pipe.com if you're interested.
Why did you find them undesirable (unless for more modern handlebars, for the reasons in the article)?

I definitely found them useful for climbing with the old flat handlebars.
Well as the main comment pointed out. The lament is that the strongest mobile hardware out there at the moment is also locked down. Would be nice to have the option for a not locked down piece of that hardware, and we do not wish that you don't have the option for a locked down stable piece of hardware.
There’s no guarantee, but on average uninstallers clear away a lot more than dragging and dropping an application to the trash.
>He also drives from SF to LA about once a month and said it takes 3 stops (so +3 hours?) but the way he put it is "now I arrive much more refreshed because I took breaks on the long drive"

I would agree with his sentiment if I had unlimited vacation time but since I don't, I want to arrive at my destination quickly. I suppose you could set it up to give you the option to stop in interesting places while you charge. Either way you're getting less options when you choose to take an EV on a trip currently, which is why I'll still pass on traveling that way for now.
They are the best answer to this question. While I'm waiting to move house and have a dedicated working space, I'm currently working in an Eames recliner with the laptop on my lap. While somewhat unconventional, I've actually had way fewer back and neck problems in the last year than when I used to sit at a desk in an office. Once I've moved house though, it'll be a used Herman Miller, probably an Aeron.
I'll echo the same sentiment as others: we get the biggest salary raises by switching jobs. Like others have mentioned, there is a pernicious incentive for employers to not adequately bump salaries over time.
I really liked the bar ends on my Trek Fuel back in the day. It just felt better pulling myself up a hill.
Flashcards are my favorite way to learn - specifically to pass a test or gain some certification. I've standardized on a simple format of a google sheet with column A being the front side of the card, and column B being the back - and found a few decent iOS flash card apps that allow me to link to a google doc. So, do you have the whole list of questions in a consumable format I could get into a sheet?
> Or perhaps aesthetics play more a part of mtnbike design than functionality?

Nailed it. This is true for almost all bicycle endeavors save actual professional racing. Even then, a pro rider that isn't Egan, Sagan, or Froome is going to ride what the factory says to ride. If they (Specialized, Cannondale, Canyon, Etc.) need to pimp a new product, those dudes will pimp the product. Money talks.

> This has caused tech giants like Facebook considerable hurt. For example, the fact that they have to have those embarrassing privacy labels on their app in the App Store.

They have the exact same embarrassing label on the Play store, and guess what, their Android app is also on that store. Even though they don't have to be.

The reason is that they have a lot more reach on a store than as a sideload.

The difference is that Google gives a lot more freedom to developers and businesses than Apple does.

> Even though you might vehemently disagree with Apple, I respect the right of users to choose whether they want a restricted but more private experience, or less restricted but less private experience.

That's a straw man. Nobody argued this.

We're just calling Apple's monopolistic, hegemonic behavior for what it is. As is Epic as we speak.
hm, maybe. I can't find my landlord's name attached to the building I owned. But his name is associated with the company which owns it.

My old boss also would buy property through LLCs, so if I looked up his address he would not be associated with it. I was not able to link him to the company because the LLC didn't actually transact any business aside from holding this property. But maybe I just don't know where to look.
He praises the quality of the Apple hardware... He should watch Louis Rossmann's Mac repair videos on Youtube. Apple hardware design is crap. There are hardware design mistakes Louis points out that only rookies would do. Mac repair business is flourishing for a reason (even though Apple is trying to squash it by any means possible).

I mostly agree with you; I just don't agree it can be characterized as "pulled off her private jet" nor that the case has anything in common with diverting a commercial passenger jet via a fake bomb threat to arrest a journalist.

Putting satellites around the Moon is hard, and not just because it's far away. The Moon's gravitational field is wildly uneven [0] which causes a satellite's orbit to decay within a few days if it's in low lunar orbit. The fixes are to fly the satellite high, give the satellite plenty of onboard fuel for orbital corrections, and map the anomalies precisely so you can mostly avoid them.

Of course every gram of fuel you add to the satellite makes it that much harder to get it to the Moon in the first place. It's a difficult problem. And that's before you start talking about communications latency.

A blockchain's resiliency in part depends on how many full replicas are available -- if at least one replica exists somewhere, the chain can be resuscitated even if all block producers die.

In Ethereum 2.0, nodes don't maintain a full copy of the chainstate -- not even block producers do. Therefore, Ethereum 2.0's resiliency depends on the continued availability of N > 1 partial copies of the chainstate, such that the full chainstate can be reassembled from them. This is strictly less resilient.
Fantastic article, and I promote a stricter approach: `--dry-run` is the default, and you need to disable with `--no-dry`.

For irreversible (such as deletions) actions I even go one step further with a `--no-dry=<some-non-trivial-value>` in order to force some thinking.

Edit: apparently this is way more common than I thought, by reading comments here!
well, you could turn it around and use + addresses everywhere, so that any legitimate response must be to one of your + addresses. then treat anything without + as spam.
I picked one up for the PS5 controller, and it works great and costs less than $10.
That's not the same thing though.

macOS has those also, programs can live on the menu bar.

But in macOS, closing the last window basically never exits the program. Even for a program like Element, which is just an Electron view, closing the window doesn't quit the program, even though what's left over is useless: there's no way to relaunch the Electron pane except to quit and start it again.

This is just how macOS works: if you want to quit, you type Cmd-Q, if you want to close windows, red button or Cmd-W, and closing windows won't quit your program.

I don't think the problem is that the protocol supports algorithms without versioning it's that it isn't known what the remote side is using on the first connection. Moving this to 4 protocol versions still doesn't tell you which you should use to connect to the remote system, that problem would still need to be solved.
I didn't imply otherwise? Did you mean to reply to the gp comment?

I'd say both behaviours could be equally surprising to any user, regardless of their previous OS biases but either way that's not really related to the point I was making.

I was just saying that an inexperienced user will notice technical details less (e.g. the ramifications of processes continuing to run in the background without windows, the dock status indicators showing they're still open, the fact they show up in the app switcher, etc.) and as such won't be inclined to "take control" of that default behaviour in a way that an experienced user might, due to their heightened awareness of it.
You can kind of forget that you are reading subtitles but occasionally you might be reading when something happens on screen that you miss. Being able to spend all time (fully) watching the movie is not something you can deny makes for a better experience.

What makes subtitles even worse for me is that I usually watch at higher speeds often 200-300%. Then reading becomes even more annoying and you have to pay very close attention making you miss out even more on the visuals.
Costco.com’s inventory is larger than what is in store.

But yes, agree. Now we call it “curated”, but with Costco’s return policy, there’s an actual risk to them for stocking outright garbage, which is a huge value, even if I never return things.
Germany, Switzerland, France, Singapore, etc., though the one I originally looked up was Akizuki as they're familiar to me.

You are right. Coming to a conclusion without evidence, is partisanship. That is why scientists spoke of "no evidence" back then: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2020/05/scientis...

It was a conspiracy theory, and it may still be, because the WSJ only mentions that lab workers were "ill" and presented symptoms similar to those caused by COVID-19, which could be... really anything. The main strain of the flu in 2019 was H1N1. It could have been that. It may not have been. We don't know yet.

I don't think there is anything wrong about "mocking" people for peddling conspiracy theories with zero evidence. Let's be honest, even if some of their ideas end up being true, it would have been just a coincidence. It's like arriving to the correct solution to a math problem, but through a completely wrong process.
> they can’t quit or complain or they’ll be sent to the mines

Working in IT in Belarus is highly coveted, highly cushy (often 4-day work-weeks, company retreats, WFH, etc), and pays 5x ~ 10x average salary (i.e. you become moderately rich, very fast).

If you don't like working for one IT company, you can switch to another one.

Some are US-standard crappy Wordpress mills or whatever, but if you're working in IT you're not oppressed and you're not lucky: you're a person with skills that are in-demand and you're getting well compensated for using them.
Some good points, glad someone posted this. I went down a rabbit hole of Tony Hawk videos and interviews a couple years ago, including some in-depth ones where he talks the history of the sport in general and his history with it, and it's fascinating. As a sport it's been much more unstable than something like football or baseball, always expanding and contracting as laws and cultural attitudes change. Lot more room for innovation too though. And man, after watching three or four interviews with the guy, you really get an appreciation for how chill he is.
In Curvenote's editor you collaborate on the content as you would in something like google docs, without needing to write Latex -- but with the features you'd reach to Latex for; equations, figures, citations, cross referencing etc...

Documents can then be exported as a PDF which uses Latex for typesetting, currently that's with a default template, but we're working on user defined templates right now.

When people's workflow is not data heavy, we think there are other features making Curvenote an attractive place to work; the WYSIWYG style of writing, real-time comments and easy sharing on one hand but also how Curvenote helps you easily reuse, update and build on your existing content.

> There's no way to create an empty file

This is one of the features I never miss and don't use on any other DE (like KDE). I just open the app, create the file and save. Maybe it's just habit, but I personally doesn't find it as a needed feature.

> There's no easy way to cut a file/folder (Cmd-x doesn't work)

Just drag it where you want while pressing CMD? I know it's not cut but it prevents a lot of errors I think.

> There's no (?) way to keep everything consistently sorted and aligned

It's called "Clean Up By". Available in right click menu and in the top menu probably. It'll always keep the order you choose.

> Tags are useless and just take up space for nothing.

On the contrary, this is something I love. I can just throw a bunch of files to a folder and tag them about what I'm going to do with them. Colors allow me to mentally sort them with no overhead.

> No "parent folder"...

Two-finger click to folder name on the finder. The path will be revealed as a reverse-ordered stack. Or just press back. It's parent folder 99% of the time.
