I work alone and expected to learn how to review my own code from this, but there was actually nothing about reviewing code in the article and all the advice only works if you're on a team.

Something I've found surprisingly useful is to turn my code into a tutorial. I've been working on an educational product recently and I've found writing explanations of my code extremely useful for improving the code; I've made dozens and dozens of changes even after I thought the code was "done" and it was time to begin writing the text.

I'm recording videos based on the text and that's making me realize things about the code that I didn't realize just by writing about it. It's as though, for me, writing and speaking activate different ways of thinking.
I know you're not trying to replace the official Elm compiler, but that's precisely what is needed. I really, really wanted to like Elm but the way it's managed is horrible and antithetical to the idea of Open Source software. With the current compiler I wouldn't touch Elm with a 39.5" pole, even if Elm is a joy to work with.
Looks like the language was created by elm-ui author.
Maybe a coincidence, but my completely non-technical sister called me this week to pitch her ‘app idea’ (feature) “screenshots should have the link embedded in it”. And I had to explain that it’s probably not possible, except if ios or Android implemented it directly (more so iOS, I’m not up familiar with android).

And ultimately that’s sad, because it should 1. Be possible to implement and 2. Should already have been implemented by the platforms.

Last week I struggled to send an Austin powers gif via signal.

Because searching via images on google & ddg forced me to a website (wouldn’t just give me the result) and then those websites did everything possible to NOT give me a gif.

I’m disappointed that this has become the reality of the internet, and I think many people on this site are in the same boat.

I've got a cabinet built by Jim - it's amazing. Highly recommended.
I'm just implementing this on a very tiny level. Just one video that will maybe get a view every other day or so.
I do have adaptive streaming and something that qualifies as "CDN" only if you squint.

But it's not harder than most other IT niches one might get into. I am not saying it's without challenges - I pulled plenty of hair. Just that it's doable and that all the parts one might need are available for me to built into a usable system.

Scaling that up will might be hard in the sense that it's a lot more expensive, but the core technology is there.
Given that Word does LaTeX math, why would that be?
I don't think they have anything to worry about, anyway you can't spend all your life fearing lawyers.

I hope Hulu steals this, their new UI is really awful and they don't seem to comprehend no matter how many people tell them their UI is really awful.
Not just startups. I interviewed with a large financial institution recently and they had their heart set on Kafka. From what I learnt , they did not need Kafka -- the message order was not important, there was only one producer and one consumer and the volume of data was not extra-ordinary -- but they wanted to be on Kafka as that was the enterprise direction. I might have come across as an old fart when I asked the why they could not use their existing MQ infrastructure.
I'm having the opposite effect right now.
I'm a partner in a pretty successful services company, our success is mainly built on the prevalence of the do nothing attitude in IT departments in contrast to our 'drop no request' attitude.
"SCCM got my dog pregnant"

This was the phrase used, around every patch tuesday, when every little hiccup on our network was blamed on patching.

It was never SCCM.

As the guy in charge of patching, I built a delay in the feedback loop to allow for the 'real issues' to present themselves before researching that, yes, for the 800th time, it wasn't SCCM.
Well, it depends a bit on the possible failure scenarios. If we would be talking about a 10$ toy, hacking something together would totally be fine with me.

But we're talking about a 40k$ car and a system which is critical for cooling a part that is very eager to start a fire. I can easily imagine that the higher pressure or temperature tolerance would be needed if you're using the car in extremely hot weather (which can be a bit unexpected [0]) or when the battery experiences a critical failure. When working with systems that can have very bad failures, a bit of Ehrfurcht might be appropriate.

Sure. I'm just expressing my own opinion, which is, break them up! Into 5-10 baby googles, 5-10 baby amazons, 5-10 baby facebooks.

Unfortunately, regulators get captured, and regulations often present barriers to entry. The process by which you might get a reprieve or compensation for your loss of business might still cost you your business, in legal fees, or in opportunity costs. Monopolies and oligopolies are the problem, and the solution is to break them up.
That’s my point. The French newspapers need Google for traffic. And so they (unofficially) partnered with the French government and courts to complete the shakedown. The courts force the use of snippets, then the government says “well you’re using these snippets so you must pay for them”.
Would you connect your bank account to Google Sheets?
Show HN: I wrote a 200-page book on remote work (it's free)
I understand fully that you are a troll and that it is a losing battle to engage with you, but I hope you understand that you end up arguing that poor people should not have children, or alternately that children of poor parents deserve to be neglected. Even if you believe in the bizarre position that parental leave should not be supported by society because it is a lifestyle choice (lolwut), you can’t argue that the child has made a lifestyle choice by being born.
I like seeing the thought process by this person trying to explore different strategies based on their existing knowledge. There appears to be a critical point in the article where the author makes a plot of the noise outputs and says it resembles a "bell curve", but they don't attack that as the root problem.

I can immediately see myself 10 years ago following this same thought process of how can I mitigate-this-problem, instead of dismantle-this-problem... I continually read HN and keep trying to learn new ideas so that I have ammunition for future problems.

Now a'days I would have done something similar (taken a histogram), and seen that it appeared Gaussian. I may have also done a test for normality (probably Anderson-Darling). Seeing that it is normal-ish, I would have looked up how to convert a Gaussian distribution to a Uniform distribution using the Cumulative Distribution Function.

Moral of the story - make sure to keep exploring while you're exploiting, future you will thank you.

Edit for readability.
That makes sense. Also (and I realise this is a bit less deep than undecidable grammar) I've certainly seen LaTeX documents with so many random macros that I don't recognise the content of it at all! I'm sure we've all come across those. I can understand why a program wouldn't stand much of a chance.

Personally I never really needed LaTeX import so I don't really see it as a problem, but I know it matters to some people.
It does.

Hi HN!

tl;dr - I wrote a 200 page user manual for team leaders and CEOs to navigate working from anywhere and open sourced it online for free: https://friday.app/anywhere

I'm Luke, the founder of Friday.app. 8 years ago, I first read Remote by 37 Signals and it's what caused me to start working remotely back in 2013. At the time, the book laid out a case that more organizations should offer remote work.

Over the years, I worked for a few different distributed companies in a variety of roles. I've seen what works and what doesn't. Now, I run a software company building async tools for distributed teams. I've also spent years digging through research on distributed teams, asynchronous communication, and more. Basically, it's been a huge area of focus for the past 8 years.

When the pandemic hit, people were CONSTANTLY asking me if I had any book recommendations. Unlike 2013, people didn't need to be convinced about the benefits of working from anywhere, which Remote did a great job covering. Now, they were looking for a playbook on how to implement this stuff in a way that tapped into the benefits of distributed work - primarily the flexibility.

I never imagined writing a book, it's not really my forte. But after seeing so many companies rollout terrible policies/practices that made working from anywhere worse than going into the office, I decided to throw my hat into the ring.

The book teaches high-level principles and then dives into specific practices and playbooks, like:

- How to go async-first

- What meeting should be an email? What email should be a meeting?

- How to hire people you haven't met

- How to quickly onboard new teammates

- How to feel connected & stay accountable

These are all questions I hear all the time. This book is heavily focused on shifting towards an async-first environment, because I believe this is the #1 transition an organization needs to do.

Anyways, the entire thing is available for free online. There's an audio version too and spent quite a bit creating illustrations for each of the chapters. If you want a hardcopy, I'm offering that at cost on Amazon (I make 1 penny for every book sold).

Here's direct links if you want to jump right in:

I hope this helps you all. I'm just tired of seeing people act like this is all brand-new, when in reality, there's a mountain of evidence and best practices that can save you a lot of headaches.

Injuries are best prevented by slowly ramping up the distance. Many people see rapid progress in cardiovascular fitness but neglect strength work, quickly increase the distance and it results in injury. This is particularly true if you have led a sedentary lifestyle for years and decide to get fit!

The amount of methane to make a 50cc moped travel 20km is likely very little. And the tank is huge, so low pressure.

Driving is a personal lifestyle choice, but you said you support roads (or at least "infrastructure").

I'm not sure how you can possibly support "education" if you don't support "having kids" in the first place - do you only mean college?

And claiming that health care doesn't involve subsidizing dozens of bad personal choices is obviously absurd: why should your taxes pay for someone else's smoking habit, or choice to engage in a dangerous career like "cab driver"?
Good to know about them being about the same. Thanks! I'm still trying to figure out the outlining workflow and I've heard such different reports about all the different options that I'm having trouble wrapping my head around everything. I think I'd prefer the "Logseq folder in Obsidian" approach myself.

O/T: I usually lurk on HN since I'm very developer-adjacent (my husband and most of my friends are engineers so I like to have stuff to talk about at dinner/parties), but this was finally a thread where I knew something relevant haha. Nice to meet you!
> Doing nothing is akin to saying my time is more valuable than yours, you silly plebian. It's the sort of attitude that reinforces the unfortunate stereotype that IT people are arrogant and view their expertise and role as more important than others'.

But... It's (for developers) ! They are building things, value. That is not the case for everyone.

> I found great success providing IT support by always responding immediately when I'm available, and establishing focus times where others know I may not respond right away. An attitude of service and humility can go a long way in winning the respect and trust of your colleagues and supervisors.

Or you will be the go to person for EVERY little issues that could be solved with little effort. Been there, done that, will not be that person again.
Either way, how did they label the control flow?

In this context, it's just a nice way to say that he was 420km ahead of the actual race.
To add to that there is also outright commercial corruption too.

For example a lot of governments made policy based on nutrition research on the US that later was found out to be fraudulent and corrupt, it caused a great damage to nutrition research, a lot of it is deeply distrusted now even when it is correct, and millions of people worldwide have bad diets based off this literally evil corrupt research that been destroying lives, sometimes literally killing people as they eat awful stuff thinking it is good for them. I was almost a victim of that too (when I was teenager, around 16, my Chrolesterol spiked to emergency levels, of the point people would want me to go into surgery to check if my heart was OK... medics and nutrition professionals only made it worse, giving me bogus advice, like giving me diets based on the "pyramid", I got better when I started to ignore them and do my own research).

It's because school is preparing students for life, where they would never have any chance to look anything up, and could thus only use their own memory.

And that "you won't always have a calculator with you" thing math teachers loved so much? Yeah that didn't age well.
> Doing nothing is akin to saying my time is more valuable than yours, you silly plebian.

Well, isn't it? Just calculate how much you make per hour. Your time is more valuable than the time of anyone making less.

> It's the sort of attitude that reinforces the unfortunate stereotype that IT people are arrogant and view their expertise and role as more important than others'.

This is probably a good thing. Too often IT doesn't get the respect it deserves. Other people also view their expertise as more important than ours.
They prevent launderers from cashing it out.
They don't "cash in" a drugs bust but can still assign a value to it.
> Whenever law enforcement snags a "major haul", be it illicit cash or substances or arms or anything else, I guess I focus on its physical size as the thing that makes it impressive

law enforcement typically talks that up, to a high degree. e.g. a truck full of cocaine? Estimate the value as a per-gram street price, not what a wholesale truckload would change hands for to the next middleman who will break bulk.

A truckload of illicit cash? Large parts of "Breaking Bad" were all about how useless that can be.
Long paternity leaves encourage people to have less children.

When you have to take months off at a time for each kid, then parents are encouraged to have fewer so as not to be that guy (or gal) at work who's just having babies.

As someone who wants lots of kids, taking off a year for each one is just unfeasible, and would lead me to never working.

It's no wonder the birth rate is declining.

Mother's and father's are different. We do men a huge disservice by telling them they're going to be super needed at home for months.

Barring exceptional circumstances, most men will need to be home for a few weeks at most.
- humanity will never go beyond 1 gigabit ethernet due to 'the physical limits and energy'

It's the only viable alternative to photosyntesis (also powered by the fusion reactor in the sky).

- 3D MMOs are the "final medium" and that they are building one to last 100 years,

I'm building a MMO engine for eternity, the server hardware is specced for 100 years minimum, could work for 250 years with enough spare parts.

- they made the fastest database and they have 100% uptime,

100% READ uptime, but very verbose on disk (fixable but I digress)

- 2011 SSDs are the peak of disk space

They are the peak of writes per bit for the NAND 50nm SLC

- HTTP 1.1 is the 'final transport for humanity'

Yes.

- java doesn't crash

It can, but I have never in 20 years seen it happen in a server application; my VR LWJGL MMO has crashed on linux around 5-10 years ago, but I blame that on linux more than Java.

- smaller transistors 'wear out sooner'

I'm speculating about this one, we'll see.

- anything too hot to hold in their hand will break soon

Electronics wear out faster with heat, yes.

- load balancers save IP addresses

Yes, obviously.

- the synchronize keyword in java makes their programs non-blocking

No, I'm not going to explain this one as the source is there for you to read.

- multi-threading in games gives them 10 frames of motion to photon latency

Assign or invent. law enforcement typically talks that up, to a high degree. e.g. a truck full of cocaine? Estimate the value as a per-gram street price, not what a wholesale truckload would change hands for to the next middleman who will break bulk.
The long term trend for data access is having a reactive component; stream processing engines allow you do have that.

On the other hand databases have a huge lock-in power (been trying to strangle an Oracle myself for over 5 years now). It is lucrative to be in the database business.

I'd say that every project with a claim of some improvement can, and should try to establish itself in the market; and that having it join the Apache foundation is a great way to get some brand recognition on the cheap.

Also, Heron is not that new. It has been developed at Twitter, for replacing Storm IIRC.
Yeah, for all its faults, I'm going to be really sad when "old reddit" dies.

The main pages are garbage, but I'm in some truly great niche communities that are going to be hard to replace. And even if I do, they'll be spread over a dozen websites instead of organized in a single place.

I suppose cobbling together a replacement on discord is the future, which I've really tried to avoid.

In my first job we had guidelines for using communication:

- if it needs to be answered immediately - phone or come personally

- if it needs to be answered within 15 minutes (or was it 1 hour? at any rate - not immediately and not long time) - use jabber (text communicator used at the time)

- if it needs to be answered some time today - write an e-mail

I quite liked the system. It reduced distractions a lot.

Ever seen how they repair aircraft?

To fix panel damage on jet airliners, instead of replacing half the skin, they usually just rivet a patch over the hole. Or in the case of the composite-skinned Boeing 787, they basically glue a patch over it [1].

Sometimes they don't even bother with that, and just tape it up instead [2].
