Ask HN: Resource Utilization Visualization Tool
My organization has around 7 feature teams and is often swapping engineers from team to team in order to fill knowledge gaps or meet hard deadlines.

Who initiates these changes, what the current allocation is, and the history of previous engineer allocations are mostly lost and mirky at best.

Is there a tool that could track these team-to-engineer allocations in a visual manner?

Ideally, it would allow other teams to request engineers and show individual engineers’ current and historical allocation. It could do more but it would at least need to do this.
Does the local backup with iTunes not include iMessage?

I don't know too may users who care only about a specific aspect of their phone when backing up. I do have non-technical friends who do iTunes/local backups because they "don't trust the cloud", but I've never encountered a person trying to do this piecemeal.

For what it's worth, there are decent 3rd party tools like iMazing that are easy to use and do give you more granular control.
I’m trying to understand the business model that PlantNet has. Right now, it’s obviously some sort of exploitative data harvesting - hoarding geotagged plant photos to sell to academic researchers, highlighting hotspots for nature tourism, etc.

I was alluding to Apple in my comment, as they are the ones that have a model for their mobile devices being some sort of knowledge lens. They are very easily capable to eat the cost of maintaining the database without resorting to some sort of exploitative business model.

To put this in perspective, a Tesla Model Y uses (per EPA rating) 270 WH per mile. Mercedes is targeting 166 or less. That would be a big accomplishment but I'm skeptical about what compromises will be needed to make it happen.
i do agree this could be a symptom of another problem like depression etc. But, this is not true for all people. There are people who were perfectly normal and started watching porn out of curiosity or for entertainment and it became an escalating and eventually a compulsive behavior.

Yeah, for some reason Kioxia just screams "random Chinese company" to me. Without learning who they are from advertising, I would have lumped them them in no name Chinese components. Admittedly I don't do hardware product development involving flash memory chips. If I did I probably would have heard of this more quickly, so in that industry the rename probably did not hurt as much. But they also have a retail component with their SSD drives. Here the rename is really unfortunate. Either the old "Toshiba Memory" name, or keeping the OCZ name would have been better there.

I always recommend Dave Packard's 1960 "Speech to HP Managers" to every "Manager" - https://gizmodo.com/the-hp-way-how-bill-hewlett-and-i-built-...

Relevant Excerpt:

Over the years we have developed the policy that it is important for the supervisor to thoroughly know and understand the work of his group. A debate on this has been carried on by management people for years. Some say you can be a good manager without having the slightest idea of what you are trying to manage, that the techniques of management are all important. There are many organizations which work that way. I don't argue that the job can't be done that way but I do argue strongly that the best job can be done when the manager or supervisor has a real and genuine understanding of his group's work. I don't see how a person can even understand what proper standards are and what performance is required unless he does understand in some detail the very specific nature of the work he is trying to supervise. We have held closely to this philosophy and we intend to continue to do so. We expect you who are supervising to learn techniques of supervision and keep up to date. I want to emphasize you can supervise best when you know a great deal about the work you are supervising and when you know the techniques of supervision as well.

This is how great companies were built.

> That’s certainly not true: it was indeed outdated for much of its life.

I left a more substantive comment deeper in this thread, but just want to correct this small point: we're not disagreeing, you've misread the line you quoted. Note the qualifier "purely". I'm not saying it wasn't outdated, I'm just saying the fact it was outdated wasn't the sole cause of problems.

(i.e. I'm saying that being outdated doesn't cause problems: being both outdated AND deliberately incompatible does. Safari is only outdated)

You’re holding on too tight to an argument for the sake of analogy. It’s cute and evocative but it’s blinding you to the bigger picture.

The issues with Google monopolising the direction of standards development are the major issue facing browsers, users and developers on the web, today.

I get that you’re disappointed Safari doesn’t support the same stuff, the same way as Chrome. Tough. You’re attempting to develop and deploy to a platform with backwards comparability baked into its design and development process. If you want to use the new shiny, do so, but accept what you’re doing carries the risks it has and work that into your strategy. You can hope Safari will implement what you want, but unless you’re contributing to Webkit, or on a W3C committee, you don’t have much skin in that game.

As a web developer you should be considering the needs of your users first. Some of your users could be on Lynx, on that browser which comes with Haiku, on a shitty phone from 8 years ago. THAT’s the web.
Totally agree with your point, M1Finance is not for trading.. definitely not options, more like long-term ETF investing.

I never heard of Titan, is it a desktop or mobile app? Or both? Could you please share a link?

If you trade options but have no time to stay on top of all the relevant developments, should probably check out this STRIKES mobile app, it provides intuitive analytics and notifies of many pitfalls to your options positions:

https://www.trystrikes.com/
we did explore this option but screenshots drain down the battery heavily and hence, we had to drop this. we are still exploring this based on a certain risk score depending multiple factors like time, location, website accessed etc.
Doesn't even need an actual quote taken out of context, just a headline (or a thousand) will already have an effect because people scan and can't be bothered to read the contents, until it becomes a background idea stuck in someone's head. People also forget where they read something, people forget details, and they simplify things over time.
I think in general you are correct, however infrastructure is still hit and miss right now, so you really need to plan ahead (including contingencies).

I rented an EV through a car sharing app the other week, and the first place I went to charge only had slow chargers. I stayed as I needed to grab lunch, but it added only maybe 10km of range. Later on the trip I stopped somewhere else I knew had fast and slow chargers but all the fast chargers were out of service. I only needed another 20km of range, so I just waited a hour while making a few phone calls, no big deal, but if I'd planned to fully recharge the car it would have been painful.

For commuting it's a different story as you can find out where all the chargers are on your route, and you'll learn which are most reliable and least busy. I have seen a few Teslas in my country with plates from the other side of Europe, so I guess it can work...
This is such a laudable aim. Hope you succeed.

Except the way this is shaking out is that paying a small fee for the unbundled channels (or writers, etc) you _do_ want ends up costing more than the bundle did. Not to mention the overhead of managing a million subscriptions to different companies.

Idk seems like an overstated problem.

People will be less likely to believe leaks or supposed hot mic recordings, but the majority of what politicians and other public figures say happens in public view which makes it difficult to fake.

You already don't really know if a video you see on Facebook has been carefully re-cut to change the meaning or tone of what the speaker was saying, so I think the fact that we can more easily wholesale create videos doesn't really change much. If you want to know if something is real the best option is still to cross reference multiple sources and if possible multiple recordings.

I don't understand the complain. It's a movie: what you saw never was believable.

It's trickery by design. Everything you see as been spliced together from multiple takes, purposefully framed, lighted and colorized. It's all fake but in a way so culturally ingrained that people don't even notice the deceit anymore. You think this continuous action you are watching?

In poor defence of web devs; often they are passed nonsensical designs & requirements on shoestring time budgets. Most would like not to do horror shows, but are forced by industry conditions. Now-days web devs are very rarely the ones making decisions beyond "how do we achieve this render within too little days?". Don't blame the builders when the architects won't acknowledge the laws of physics.

I'm criticizing matrix because it is a product of NIH syndrome [1] that should not have existed in the first place.

If you wanted an open federated protocol, you could have spent your time adding to an existing federated network. Everything you do with matrix is easily possible with XMPP. Instead, you want a protocol fully controlled by you. I oppose this goal and spread of such products.

And yes, I do spend all my time improving XMPP.

I do not know do you understand that Stalin had same pattern of thinking?

By that logic why not having 40bn people, I mean there is plenty of calories, we do not have to all eat each day, every other day will do...

The entire conversation only has sense in context of life and quality of life of those people, along with all other beings in ecosystem, as idea of the entire article is benefit for having more people for the sake of economy.

There is technical level so what is maximum. Maximum amount of caries with minimum amount of calories needed to survive = 40bn.
There is other side if there is one involuntary death due to starvation, there is no point of growing bigger population, as it is shitty civilization anyway and it does not deserve to exist.

Even in pure technical level calculation does not work, as we need to include all issues and loses, we cannot auto-magically say things will solve themselves.

It is necessary to include waste, and continuation of the food waste, then global warming (droughts, floods, pollution), then loss of top soil, issue with nitrogen fixation, issue with energy production, collapsing of marine life, supply chain ...

Reading the comment you are replying to, I don’t think they were trying to say it didn’t, but that it’s different now (for the reasons they enumerated)
The general point behind the proverb boils down to "you can't have it both ways" or "you can't have the best of two worlds".

That's essentially what the parent comment is trying to do. When offered the Android ecosystem as an alternative, the counterpoint was to lament the lack of Apple Watch and iMessage support in the Android ecosystem.

This is textbook "I want it both ways".

It's a really interesting question! It worked okay for Encarta, but the original fractal-compression algorithm was the "grad student algorithm", where a grad student sat in a room fiddling with parameters until she got an image that looked right, which got really astounding compression ratios, dramatically better than the ratios they were able to deliver for Encarta. Maybe modern ANNs and optimization algorithms like Adam could produce much better fractal compression than the algorithms that were practical to automate 30 years ago?

The reason fractal compression sometimes got much better compression ratios than DCTs is apparently that it did a better job of capturing the structure of the world (a prior probability distribution), more than anything about the quirks of visual perception. We know lots of basis functions that are a little better at giving us sparse bases than DCTs for low absolute error on real-world images, even before any kind of perceptual weighting. IFSs aren't quite linear basis functions (I mean they're normally "linear", but what's being transformed linearly is the (x, y) vector and not the (r,g,b) vector), and it wouldn't be terribly surprising if they could do better still. Particularly given past examples of them doing amazing.
that's true. our modern society is overly stimulating and using our innate instincts to attract attention.

I think you'll be amazed at what modern electric cars can do.

The Tesla Model 3 can easily add 100 miles in 10-15 mins if its battery is 30% or lower. That isn't theoretical performance, that's actual real-world performance that I've seen. That plus the ~250 miles of range the Model 3 LR has (again real-world range, without making any effort to conserve energy) means you can realistically to your ~350 mile trip with little to no change to total trip duration.

Now the Model 3 may be a premium vehicle, but EV development is only just getting started. Within the next few year we'll be seeing cars with similar performance for half the price. That tied with the rapid expansion of 150kw and 250kw chargers means that in the next 5 years, doing your theoretical road trip, with only one 10-15min break, will be possible in almost any new ~$30k electric car.

I think Substack is onto something and enjoy it both as a subscriber and a contributor. For one thing newspapers and their ilk want to drive my attention. I don't want that. With Substack I can pick the topics and writers I'm interested in and then easily see and read new articles. And while there are all kinds of writers on Substack I am on the business/technology/investment side so my "DIY magazine" is really a collection of analysis and commentary. You might call this a niche but some might be pretty large and a collection of them might be very big indeed.

Also consider Bloomberg author Matt Levine. Fortunately we can read him for free (in exchange for a couple of non-intrusive embedded ads) but if Bloomberg put his material behind their paywall I would not pay $300-400 per year to them in order to read it. I'd certainly be willing to pay $5/month for him though. The other super annoying thing about these aggregators is that they push advertising to you even after you are a paying subscriber! Paying for content that also sends me advertising is a non-starter for me.
This is dangerously careless thinking which completely disregards the complexity of supply chains.

Modern IT infrastructure needs lots of different kinds of chips, not just CPUs. Most of them aren't manufactured in the US. If chips stopped shipping from Taiwan tomorrow, then sure, people would scramble to switch to other manufacturing, and presumably some of the gap could be filled from existing products or of Korea, but getting a design up on a new process can easily take a year, often more. Not to mention that building up raw fab capacity takes time as well.

The impact on supply chains in the short term would be devastating even if the long term can be gotten under control. If the short term includes a war with China, then, well... it certainly complicates any sort of military scenario.
> I don't feel like that at all because on all of my devices, notifications are opt-in. I get notifications for services I use (mostly IM).

They aren't granular though, you either opt in to all or you get none. This is particularly annoying when you're using something like LetGo or OfferUp, because you basically need to opt in to receive messages from people interested in buying your second-hand stuff. But once you do, they take the opportunity to spam you with engagement boosting ads querying you if you have anything you want to list or telling you "we've selected these sales for you."

It's an extremely unpleasant design pattern for anyone who values their own time and attention.

If I allocate more time to each interview question, then how am I supposed to judge between a candidate that completes it in half the allotted time vs one that completes it using all the time?

Whether the time pressure is explicitly mentioned, it is clear (to me) that there is an implicit expectation that the faster you answer the question, the better, all other things being equal.
