At one point, we had [lists containing multiple] Guiding Principles, Strategic Initiatives, Integrated Business Planning, and Key Initiatives for Growth (and for all I remember, maybe a few other categories). Each of those was subtly different; all of them were "priorities". The only thing we had that was entirely clear with respect priority was the "prod is down" was P0.
Jeopardy is a "nerd" game show that attracts smart educated people.

It has college competitions.

It featured Watson, the IBM AI, as a contestant.

It's a social institution. It's been around since the mid 60s so a lot of people who visit this website grew up watching it.

The previous host had a unique smart dry wit that is rare in American game shows.

If LeVar Burton had replaced Howie Mandel on Deal or No Deal then I would agree with you but the Hacker News crowd is definitely Jeopardy's audience.

LeVar's Burton resume helps, I must admit. But it's not only Star Trek. On his podcast he reads short stories by authors like Neil Gaiman and Kurt Vonnegut which are also interesting to the HN crowd. Even Reading Rainbow was a TV show that attracted nerdy kids.

This seems to refer to new development and deployment of new regions - not standard operations work.

"Region bootstrap, across regions, will need to happen on a 24x7 basis in order to hit our delivery dates. All teams will need to resource appropriately to accommodate this expectation,"
In my opinion, to start with, you need to have "senior"/experienced members. Most junior still need to be taken care of before they could be blindly trusted on some topics.

Also, in my experience, most of cases like this happened in places were the management was kind of "absent" or "defective" in some way. For example when you have the next level of management hierarchy in another place/country.
In such a case, often, the dev/engineers are considered autonomous and they are just trusted and expected to "take care" of all the technical things, with little supervision.

If you are already inside a team, I think that there is little to do to create a similar environment, except trying to get the maximum "power"/"position"/"space" from the company, and using that to organize yourself with the persons you are interacting with in your team.

Trust is the key element. But other members have to earn your trust, and on the other side, you should also ensure to worth the trust of your company by being reliable and deliver. Most of the time, even management will let you a lot of "space" if you are use to reliabily take over "loads" off of their shoulders.

The worst case scenario is when there are persons in management that have "bullshit" jobs like "scrum masters" where they have to do "something" to justify their work.

Otherwise, if you are in the lucky position of creating a team, the best thing is to try to have a multi disciplinary team with most of the people with a specific responsibility on some components of your system.

This is the exact opposite of saying that you have a an agile pizza team with all members that should be equal on all subjects and easily be interchangeable at will on whatever subject...

I feel you are presenting a false dichotomy. If this was true, why are the most boring jobs not paid the best? It seems that capitalist money is just hidden punishment: do something you don't want to do for a pittance, because you have no leverage. In a family, in a community there are also ways to incentivise prosocial behaviour just by culture, which is why e.g. most of German emergency operations are volunteer based. And in most associations, people are if not happy then perfectly willing to do the boring job if that's the way they become a part of the association. Social norms and customs and their establishment are a whole lot more complicated than "punishment from leaders"

Hi HN!

I'd like to share with you a project I've built since more than a year that you can basically see as a StackOverflow-like platform for code reviews.

I decided to start this while I was working on another solo project. I was used to work in developers teams with processes made to improve the quality of code, including...code reviews and at that time I felt alone on my project. What I missed the most are discussions regarding code and how things could be improved, especially since I chose some techs I never used before. I asked myself how freelancers, young graduates or people learning a language improve the quality of their projects.

So I had a look at the existing solutions to get code feedback and choices are either forums not suitable for code reviews (need to display all code & files in one post, copy/paste each line,...), Github (hard to find reviewers and project need to be open-source) or costly 1-to-1 sessions with experts.

Revioo beta was released recently featuring a gamified experience (XP points, badges, ranking) and a built-in code reviewing tool (annotations line-by-line, syntax highlighting, votes, comments).

It's just a MVP and the project will improve over time. It also requires to have an active community to potentially satisfy all review requests, which is not a small challenge!

I made an example [1] to show how a review could look like and the comparison with the same post on Codereview StackExchange.

I'll appreciate to get feedback and glad to answer all questions you can ask!

PS, the code reviewing tool is not 100% optimized for mobile yet.

PS 2, I'm sorry if I made typos, I'm not a native English speaker.

Unfortunately what will likely happen is if the project becomes extremely successful a big corporate interest will buddy up to the project and pretend to have the best interest of the community in mind as they make the project increasingly dependent on their funding and development resources until finally the shoe drops and the corporate interest has unofficial control over the pinephone project similar to Google with Ubuntu and IBM/Redhat with CentOS. Every one has a weakness and a price.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but he's a leech on society. He has two children he could not support (and has no contact with), he's constantly mooching off others for his basic needs, and there's not a word in the article about him ever doing a single thing productive for society. And unlike many other homeless people who legitimately are unable to contribute productively, this is all his choice.

He's lucky he's in modern society where we at least take some care of people like him. Go back further in time and he'd have been ostracized from his hunter-gatherer community for not contributing, and would've lived a short life as a hermit.
Would you be so kind as to show how to reverse a hash? A summary is like a hash; it throws away information deemed irrelevant to the task at hand, but it is still related to the input information. So, no, I won't show how to do that, because it's impossible, and I never claimed otherwise.

I just love these "gotcha!" comments that pop up on HN so frequently. I'm having to explain what it means to summarize information.

Hashes aren't useless or meaningless, they just aren't a substitute for the full information if you need the full information. I'm sure that if you're a serious potential customer, you can contact Form Energy and get whatever detailed information from them that you need. Otherwise, you obviously only get the information they choose to disclose publicly.

Your desire for more information doesn't somehow make "100 hour battery" a meaningless statement. When you see the mpg rating of a car, that is a summary that has thrown away detailed test results that could tell you more about the fuel economy of the vehicle under various conditions. EPA testing involves multiple test "cycles" that represent different conditions, but you don't typically get to see the results of each cycle. People still like to see mpg ratings and compare them.
No, it's not a claim that market rents increased in the long run, it's a suggestion. I can assure you I've read the entire article, and if you re-read my reply you're going to notice that I specifically talked about claims vs suggestions.

If the article had made an actual claim that market rents increased in the long run, it wouldn't have passed peer review.

That's because there is no empirical evidence that market rents increased in the long run, and no actual analysis, that would have to take into account factors like displacement of ethnic minorities and it's impact on rents, the change in homeownership rates, the tendency for rents to compound over time thus giving an outsized effect to the initial suppression of rents, etc..., which wouldn't come to a solid conclusion without additional data.

As a result, we cannot say that it's incorrect that rent control isn't bad. The evidence you've provided falls way short of the argument.

The moment curation becomes creation is when there's a choice, a decision, to show this but not that.

But. These discussions of Section 230 are so weird. As though journalism, media, publishing, editorial began in 1996.

We'd all benefit if the people arguing about this stuff

- had some direct experience with publishing, editing, writing

- ditto moderation

- have at least read Herman & Chomsky's Propaganda Model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_model

In the 1980s, we worried about "infoglut". How to take sips from a firehose.

I was a "thread blaster" (moderator) on CompuServe and then ran my own BBS network.

Stupid teenage me figured out the most import role in a digital era was editor. Filtering signal from noise. Choosing what was worth remembering. Gathering, organizing, interpreting the useful bits. (I couldn't even dream of stuff like altavista and spam filters.) Imagine my chagrin, learning about journalism years later, that I was reinventing the wheel.

I'm learning to just accept "kids these days" complaints are the norm. In other words, I became the grumpy old man.

But with hindsight, I really would have thought that The Establishment media would have competently defended their turf. They haven't even showed up. Maybe they still don't understand the true nature of the threat.

In conclusion:

Facebook became editor with the newsfeed feature. What ever that algorithm is (or isn't) makes them responsible for the content.

Google was always editor.

Any media which uses recommenders to boost engagement is doubly responsible for their content. They are not simple transmitters of bits and bytes from A to B. They are not common carriers like telephone, cable, and postal services. Just the fact that Facebook employs human content moderators proves this.

If everyone else around him lived like this he'd starve pretty quickly, as no one would be doing the actual work required to keep society running.
Can someone explain how they can keep the passthrough video private? Sounds like they're saying the data is processed on a separate worker that can't access the network, but that worker obviously needs to pass data back to the main thread so that UI/content can be rendered in response to the video.

Perhaps they don't allow "custom" processing by the dev? E.g. can only use FB's face/pose/etc detector? That would be quite limiting though.

Maybe they only allow passing back a small amount of information per frame? That'd still make it possible to leak information over several frames (if GAN latents are anything to go by, there aren't that many bits of information in a human face, for example).
XP, Scrum and agile-adjacent Lean all pre-date the manifesto. The manifesto just tried to put all these ideas under one umbrella.

There's more to unpaid labour than fetching wood and water. Women still do significantly more housework than men, even if both hold full time employment.
Formal verification is a thing people do - and I think that’s what most people think from ‘verified’. They aren’t conspiracy theorists they’re proving things like that your C implementation code is defined and matches what you think you’ve written, since that’s where these errors creep in.

> Whatever makes you claim they want others to contribute?

1. They started out, and achieved their success partly, by making an Open Source database. When you publish something under that moniker, into the Open Source community, it is generally assumed you want to collaborate. That's the default. Projects that want to publish Open Source software but don't want collaboration (e.g., SQLite, AOSP, etc.) make it clear and explicit that they do not take contributions. Because collaboration is the default.

2. They set up contribution guidelines[1]. Their words: "MongoDB welcomes community contributions!".

3. They set up their own trackers and tools to classify issues/tickets for external contributions. Their words, again from [1]: "tickets of an appropriate complexity for new engineers are marked with a “neweng” label."

4. They evangelise Open Source contributions. Even when they demand copyright assignment to accept any contribution.

The SSPL is itself a copyright infringement, being an unlicensed and unauthorised modification of the AGPLv3. From the AGPLv3 license text: "Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed." Hell, MongoDB Inc. even kept the same conditions in their unauthorised copy, while replacing the copyright claim of FSF with their own.

To distribute a modified version of MongoDB to a client, without breaking the conditions of the SSPL, I shall have to license my changes under the SSPL itself, and distribute a copy of the SSPL with it. I cannot legally convey a copy of the license text, even if MongoDB Inc. permits me to "copy and distribute verbatim copies" of the license document, when I know that they may not even have the copyrights to do so, and that the legal copyright holder of said document does not allow changes to it.
> behaviours are priced accurately. Something I would certainly not assume.

He didn't guess how you value or should value that kind of a lifestyle, he merely commented on the morality of it.

If you value parasitism, that fine, you're free to do that. But it's still immoral.

> Go back further in time and he'd have been ostracized from his hunter-gatherer community for not contributing, and would've lived a short life as a hermit.

Because productivity was low, its wasn't much of a choice - there was little to give. Today he can make it because the moral desire to create more than one takes - contrary to what he promotes - has prevailed.

You wouldn't need to go back in time a single second to see how long would his life be in a society that consisted of only useless eaters such as himself. He wouldn't last past next winter.

You sure that's all that's needed? I am continually surprised when someone claims the internet is some all-mighty resource-rich network. It wasn't the internet that made world class scientists, it was access to privileged firewalled networks: capitalist universities, as well as state-funded yet privately controlled multinationals (more and more through trade secret law [1]), which 'own' and house - read: hoard and violently withhold - the sum total of all human knowledge (commons which belongs to all of earth's children, not just ones with rich mommies and daddies).

When someone like Aaron Swartz is driven to his death for campaigning for open access, it shows that he has come upon something that wants to stay hidden: the structures and dynamics of outdated knowledge hierarchies. Have you read his short and concise manifesto? It's an awesome (and better) articulation of what I am talking about here. [2]

That story about the Indian man is not empirical data, it's an example of an anecdotal story that helps to keep the working class distracted, stopping them from seeing how the system actually works. Stories like that are 'magical voluntarist' fantasies that end up alienating more people than they inspire. [3]

My thoughts are similar. It’s possible to make high quality, kinda-native-feeling PWAs, but that definitely doesn’t come for “free”. In fact it takes a level of attention to detail and craftsmanship that frankly few developers seem willing or capable of, whether that’s due to indifference on behalf of the developer or management riding their ass pushing them to ship sooner.

So the most likely outcome is that the average PWA would be less pleasant to use than the average app, which is a pretty clear cut loss for users.
While I'm also feel a mix of enthusiasm and skepticism, I feel it would be a shame for the Mill team not to have a proper shot at getting to hardware.

To see if it, against the odds, can provide some significant benefit or not. The proof is in the pudding, I hope they get to make the pudding.
Virtually every product manager or product owner I worked with had this problem. There were multiple goals and all of them were "euqally important".

I started to explain that it's about risk management - the things we pick up first have higher chance to be completed on time, so I asked which ones would cause more trouble if they were delayed.

Sometimes that helped, sometimes it didn't. So these days what I say when I can't get clear priorities is this: if everything is equally important, then I'll choose what my team works on first, and I'll do it according to my criteria, which is what tasks do we find most interesting. Almost always the response then is "ok, wait, let me think and by tomorrow I'll send you the list ordered by priority".
What is the best service in 2021 to incorporate in the US as non-US founder?
I am raising a friends & family round from someone who stays in the US. So to make things cleaner and easier, I have decided to incorporate in the US. I am not a US citizen.

Would love to hear your experience if you have used even one of them.
Counterpoints:

Start with pip, the official package manager. You don't have to start with virtual envs: I didn't.

I haven't ran into any function which I "should not use".

You don't need an entry point, you can just write code in a file. Besides that, I don't see how much it differs from other languages with implicit entry points, where you need to match a certain name in your function.

Imports: yes, those are annoying and confusing. I still struggle with those.

Aditionally: package managers and virtual envs are a pain in the ass. Every year we're getting a new one which is supposed to solve the problems from the previous one, but doesn't, and the cycle goes on. The language should really solve this at the core instead of requiring community fixing, as it is a core part of any serious development.
I have a long-time friend who tried to get an Amazon Warehouse job after relocating to a new city for his SO’s career. Given all of the negative press he assumed they’d be desperate for employees and he could walk right into the job. It turns out those jobs are highly competitive in the area because they paid relatively well and had good benefits.

The hourly rate alone doesn’t tell the full story. Many more typical warehouse jobs are truly hourly jobs with minimal or no benefits. He said a lot of them tried to hire people for less than full time to avoid having to provide benefits. For all of the negative press, it sounded like the Amazon Warehouse was the place to be if you wanted a decent warehouse job with benefits in his area.
