We use a combination of Markdown + PlantUML, CSV, YAML, Structurizr DSL, and Gherkin feature files under Git version control next to the code to structure the requirements and examples. A GitHub Actions continuous integration workflow does validations and compiles reader-friendly documentation with Mkdocs. We are experimenting with consolidating more and more of this into feature files.

We structure the project and its related projects hierarchically along service design packages, similar to the “class-responsibility-collaboration” breakdown in object-oriented design.

All of our stream-aligned team collaborates continuously on this data as part of sprints, including analysts, managers, software and QA engineers. We recently started to collaborate with the enabling Risk & Compliance team on the same data, and started doing compliance audits using the generated, Git hash-versioned reports.

Our other teams use similar combinations of data, mostly centered around Confluence spaces which enable some form of traceability due to bi-directional linking.

Show HN: Spawn – Throwaway Databases for CI and Development
We're a small team working on Spawn, a SaaS for provisioning ephemeral databases for CI pipelines and development workflows.

Spawn supports multiple database engines, database instances start in seconds regardless of data size and can be snapshotted and restored just as quickly. We think they make a great replacement for database servers installed on developer machines, offer an easier alternative to Docker + volume management and unlock better database CI by allowing easier testing with realistic data sets.

We'd love to know what you think. Is this something that would fit into your development or CI workflows?

No. The result is the same, which I admit is confusing.

You should notice by the end that the two you's are different, and they are two distinctly different ways of modeling the world.

The deeper question is, what is change? And, what are you?

The first "you" is ego-centric. It's "what's wrong with me me me, I can change me me me". But that would never lead to the solution which is simply to remove "me" from the problem and just listing all the problems in your life. You wouldn't describe that as "you are in control, you can change". You would't seek self-help or self-motivation or self-worth. You would simply describe that as "I solved my problems, maybe I can help you with yours".

You don't have to change, because you are not your problems. This self-this self-that thinking is a deadend. That's the point.

"I must change" is the goal most start with. Changing everything else in your life is how you arrive at achieving it. "I" never had to change. "I" self adjusts as the result of everything near it. But "I" has power over everything near it.

That's the paradox of the selfless sovereign individual. In contrast, the selfish sovereign individual makes the most sense to most people in western society, which accounts for where we are.
Others mention that this only applies to the first million earned, so Epic would be back at the full charge within a short time.

This was probably Econet and network !boot stuff. That was horribly slow. Stand-alone boot was about 5 seconds.

Usually the schools has MDFS filers from BBC days being repurposed as econet servers which could barely cope with the load of a room full of machines coming up.

The IBM compatibles that seemed to replace them from RM were complete dogshit. Fortunately they killed that half way through the rollout when my sister was at school and went full netware instead.

Even if you can't get an internship you can still learn from real world projects from big companies (or solo devs!) by checking their open source projects.

You won't have a mentor but you can still learn something.

What I suggest is to start with projects you are already familiar with. For example, I work with machine learning and python. I've been learning a lot by studying the code from pytorch, fastapi and other libraries used in this field.

Another great way to learn is to implement new features for projects you use. You can start by replicating existing ones. For example, you can find a PR that added a new feature, then try yourself implementing it and use the actual PR as a guide when you get stuck.

> C/C++ is used over Ada just for familiar syntax. From a safety perspective, the choice of language is inconsequential. With C/C++ the code analyzers used must do more work than with Ada but not that much.

That is completely and utterly false despite the millions (billions ?) invested in trying to make sound & safe static analysis tools for C/C++. I know you're trying to push that message but it couldn't be further from the truth. The nature of C & C++ is such that you cannot avoid unsafety, even with very restricted subsets.

Disclaimer: I work on Ada tools, but have also worked on C/C++ tools. I have also studied MISRA C and worked on such static analyzers for C & C++.
You can see the typical boot sequence of a standalone machine here [1]. It's about 10 seconds.

The vast majority of projects and companies that don't have some existing enterprise platform (Jira et al) that I've worked at use Trello. It got non-tech staff into the software process. It was simple to get started and just about scaled in all the cases I saw. 15 minutes to explain Trello etiquette was all the assistance most people needed before they were off. It was a breath of fresh air. Whole companies are being organised around Trello boards. I recommended Trello.

That all ended when the pricing changed. $10 per user per month pricing killed that. SMEs I work for are repelled by that cost now. E.g. ~100 employee business baulked at the $15000 annual bill Trello wanted, and they were very cash rich, company cars etc ahoy. Now there's a bunch of shoddy replacements being pushed around "we'll just use Excel for this one" sigh, MS Boards or whatever it's called sigh, no markdown support.
If your objection was to him having a too strong opinion, which would be more than welcome, you would be better served by making your argument relevant to that, and not geography trivia. It's a form of ad hominem, of which all forms are annoying.
Ask HN: How does a Product Manager add value?
I just found out that our team pays PMs considerably more than they pay engineers. I look at PMs and wonder what they really do… I’m on the phone with them, explaining everything, and it seems like they just cascade that info down to the decision makers… why do they get paid so much? The role should really sit with some entry level people.

Look up Ken Silverman's Voxlap engine from the early 2000s. It was most famously used for the game Ace of Spades 0.75 from 2011. It had very basic graphics and I remember even at the time it was advertised as being able to run on anything. I can imagine a game resembling Minecraft being feasible on high end machines in the early 2000s

I am cool with incinerating and carbon capturing if the Petro-chemical manufacturers pay for it directly or indirectly. The Coca-Cola, Nestle, Procter & Gambles, Unilever etc. need to own up to their sustainability talk.

The externalization of the health and environmental plastic costs needs to stop.

I have to disagree about your veteran assessment. Almost a decade ago I accidentally got into the security integration industry (security cameras, gates and the software that runs all of it). That field attracts a lot of veterans, especially the higher echelon guys. I've got to know plenty of folks from the enlisted and up to a full bird. The thing with anyone from one of those specialty combat mission backgrounds, they're typically extremely grounded people. As in, do you remember being a teen or young adult before getting into a career field? You had all these folks blowing smoke up your ass about how great something is in that field. The whole unicorn, sunshine and rainbows about a job field. Then you always had one dude who was, "nah, that's like 10% of the job. 90% of the time it's like this." When you're young, you think the person with actual experience, the salty guy, is a party pooper jackass. When you're older, you realize that guy was leveling your expectations, warning you of pitfalls and trying to make you look out for the good and how to cherish it. Combat vets are kind of the same way. There's a good chance any moral or ethical theory people armchair postulate about when it comes to society... they saw the extremes actually played out in real life with consequences. Those that readjusted back to civvy life well have the best attitude towards life. They try living life to the fullest because, again, they've seen first hand how short and fragile life is. They dont sugarcoat it either, which I think is what a majority of people find so jarring. The amount of sugarcoating in general society is amazing when you see the contrast. The charisma they exude isnt really the sociopath, snakeoil salesman kind. It's far more worldly and more honest, mixed with zero fucks given what you think of them. That sugarless honesty is what most people, especially these days, are attracted to. But then it can come off as crazy because of how much it contrasts with "normal" bullshit. They're the most egalitarian and welcoming "demographics" I've ever met. On a whole, the tech industry is full of far more actual sociopathic and narcissistic assholes.

JIRA had R4J plug-in that is pretty good if using jira doesn’t upset you. I’ve used it and it works nicely. You get traceability “for free”. There’s additional plugins to enable testing so you can do full requirement to test in JIRA (along with work breakdown if you like that sort of thing). I like JIRA for this because you can put all the conversation about each one in the comments. Gives extra color to the reasoning.

I recommend word/ excel if you have <60 requirements. If you have more than a tool like above helps, esp if you need to have traceability to testing.

Wellness' sonic boom – meditation and making self-inquiry accessible
Your question could have been written 15 years ago about Internet Explorer vs Netscape Navigator.

It's mostly as a result of pre-bundling and commercial agreements. We've seen the gradual move away from AOSP to a situation where 'Google Play Services' becomes a closed-source dependency for almost every major Google App, together with their iron grip on device manufacturers to strong-arm its installation in exchange for access to their ecosystem.

At that point, Play Store is the default and most users wouldn't need/want/think about moving away from it.

But also.... ....just in case those naughty users did think about being unfaithful. There is a lot of ethically gray UX design that makes it harder for a third party App Store to gain as deep an integration into the OS, by raising the barrier.

For example, overly alarmist alerts relating to security / unknown sources. Your average techie might know what they're doing, but they're sufficiently scary for your mum to probably abandon her attempts to install that third party App Store and just use the default.
Not sure why you’d think that. Maybe this is common in your circle but I don’t know anyone who uses github just to host a remote repo.

The underlying claim here is that de-identification doesn't work, the articles then explores the consequences of that.

But the real question should be: why doesn't de-identification work and how to make it work. It is a technical problem, and I thought it was more or less solved. But the author here things it is just placebo. If so, what is the problem exactly? Is there a fundamental problem with the very idea of de-identification? Is there a "bug" in the process? What level is required to conduct these attacks? Can in individual do it? A cybercrime gang? A nation state? Is it only theoretical?

Depending on that, the answer could be very different.

The preprint leans pretty heavily in the "if it's not for science reasons it can't make sense at all" on the question of why data was removed, stating:

> However, the current study suggests that at least in one case, the trusting structures of science have been abused to obscure sequences relevant to the early spread of SARS-CoV-2 in Wuhan.

This is unambiguously an accusation that the Chinese authors acted nefariously.

It'll be mildly interesting to see Blooms reaction to the stated reason they were removed "[because] the sequence information had been updated, was being submitted to another database, and [the owners] wanted the data removed from SRA to avoid version control issues". Though at a guess he'll just not comment, since waiting for a reply from the NIH about why the data was deleted wasn't important enough to delay spreading his preprint.
How to Choose Right Thread for Machine Embroidery
Making a delightful embroidered or stitched piece is genuinely crafted by a craftsman. In this fine art, threads are the sense of taste with which wonderful machine weaving and thread art are made. Furthermore, similarly as with paint, there are numerous kinds of threads, everyone with a specific use and impact. Once you start an embroidery business, you need to concentrate on what you are going to embroider next and with the stuff of threads, you will prefer.

Either way, thanks for the link.
Maybe it was a coincidence but at my last job I was so insanely stressed and burnt out. My manager was terrible, treated me like an idiot, and my ideas were stifled day in and day out.

I woke up one day and seemingly overnight my beard had a grey patch - almost white, in fact. It fell out in the week after.

Almost a year and a half later, after leaving that job, I took the pandemic to really focus on my stress levels and be happier (I am). The grey patch is starting to fade away and some color is beginning to return. Certainly not the stark white that was there before, and definitely not grey either.

Idk if I believe it, maybe something else was happening. But it sure seemed stress related at the time.

EDIT: I'm < 30 and my family doesn't have a history of grey hair - quite the opposite. Forgot to mention this
