I enjoyed this writeup. I always love seeing the lengths dedicated hackers will go to in order to accomplish something most other people wouldn't even consider doing.

The little tricks it takes to get something working in ways nobody really considered or accounted for.

I dunno, this kind of stuff seems like wizardry to me, yet when I read things like this, it makes it seem so easy and inspires me to try tinkering with things.
Ask HN: Talks and articles re: being Head of Engineering (especially by women)?
Hey HN!

I'm a tech lead on track to become Head of Engineering at a startup and I'd love to hear from folks who've been around the block (especially if you're a woman or part of another underrepresented group).

Talks, articles, Twitter handles, or anything else would be appreciated!

Thank you!
The phone market was drastically different in 2007 vs now.

If you want to make the case that launching a new mobile phone platform is as easy now, I'm all ears.
I think your imagery paints an image of a much more organized group than exists.

There are probably at least two dozen families, each of which has a few powerful members. Getting them all to agree on anything besides their own self-interest of maintaining their own wealth and power is quite hard.

But the city government has delivered very well on that one shared interest of theirs. They own a lot of property and property values are way up over the past few decades.
And also in Ruby.
What about traffic that isn't HTTP? Does Linkerd helps authenticate that, perhaps by setting up a tunnel?
That's about 10 Maß (Oktoberfest beers) per day. Sounds reasonable.
The window for SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests would be at least 8 months to a year for many individuals.

More expensive tests can detect immunity based on T cells for example, which would provide an even longer window.

And of course really expensive and invasive bone marrow aspirate tests could provide a window approaching a lifetime - but the tradeoffs involved there would likely be unfavorable for practical “proof”. Who knows what technology we’ll come up with in the future though.
Real security is being able to run any program against a set of data, and knowing for certain that there won't be any undesired side effects.

What systems can do that?
So, basically nothing changed? Thanks Apple.

Aegis does support importing from Google authenticator, it just doesn't make that very clear. You do it the same way you add any other code. The hard part for me was getting the QR code into scannable form. This issue explains one way, but you can also just take a picture of the phone with another device.
Biden Taps K-12 Nonprofits Code.org, Girls Who Code to Improve US Cybersecurity

Only when the barriers to entry permit competitors. Everything Google and Apple have done in the last 10+ years was to ensure that is not the case.
The year is 2026. Cyberattacks have escalated to the point that megabanks are offline for weeks at a time, power grids go dark for ransom, airliners are guided into deadly collisions, a database of every American's Social Security Number is leaked, and drinking water is sabotaged by remote criminals. The USA CYBERSAFE ACT is passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. It mandates trusted federal security co-processors in every computer, key escrow, a national firewall at every ISP, an end to crime enabling online anonymity, and a chain of custody for all actions done on a computer: logs must be retained by a licensed business IT department or manufacturer of a consumer device for two years. Root access is a felony.
I believe residential water restrictions are already happening, except only in poor rural areas where residents are less empowered to fight back.

Apple is a very old and heterogeneous company that flies by the skin of its teeth and there are engineering and organizational practices that would make the most hardcore Mac Addict blanch.
And for another analogy... culture fit interviews:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy_rcN-q8T0

"He don't hunt, Jack!"

https://youtu.be/Yy_rcN-q8T0?t=210

"I have yet to meet an officer who's come up by dint of ... whatever, from the rank and file of the army, who can find it possible to 'fit' as it were... that is, be one of us... who fits."
Maybe the problem is the urge to “help”? As you say, if they don’t want it, is it really help? We have a bias to thinking that if we wouldn’t be happy in that situation, then they must also be unhappy. Not necessarily.
> Easy to blame a toxic culture. Much harder to accept that your personality is part of the problem. And if this person could accept that, they'd hopefully realize that in caring so much about their work, they were damaging their own mental health.

A very continental take that's much easier to have when others in the organization share the same views. If the culture of the organization is you work late, you care a lot, you're constantly available otherwise you're not a team player and are at risk of being let go, it is unreasonable to say "just don't do it. stop caring". Both psychologically and financially unreasonable.
This is great; had never known about Homer Sarasohn before. So many amazing people have been lost to the vagaries of history that it behooves us to research and rediscover our "lost" heroes.

Thanks for all the links; can you recommend some introductory books on the subject?
This specific thread was merely talking about the look and feel of the city. If you look at some of my other comments regarding crime, you'll see I very much agree with you.
That is completely true, but it's by no means confined to SF.

In SF in the 1980s, SOMA was one of the cheapest places even in a cheap city like SF... lost of broke creative types living in old warehouse/industrial space that would otherwise be going derelict.

In lower Manhattan whole neighborhoods were in a similar state -- bohemian artists occupying loads of space that nobody else would touch.

And in London plenty of neighborhoods were full of squats. Housing stock had become so worthless that it wasn't even worth the effort to prevent people living there for free.

Now those same neighborhoods are among the most expensive urban areas in the English-speaking world. People are literally spending millions of dollars to live at those exact same street addresses... in some cases even living in the same structures, just instead of a half-derelict warehouse it'll now be all marble countertops and the like.

All of these places have their own stories and unique factors, but it's also very remarkable how similar the trajectories and how extreme the swing has been.
If there are 100 people in a server, only 1 of them needs to be able to set up a self-hosted instance to get the whole thing going. People do it all the time for Minecraft, for example. I think the problem is less the barrier to entry and more the fact that Discord is actually better than any self-hosted option available right now.
How do you like the tech scene in there?

I've tried to move to Brisbane around 5 years ago and even had an episode working remotely for a company located in there which wanted to sponsor me, but ultimately the compensation vs COL ratio seemed very bad, even if you compare it to Europe, so I didn't pull the trigger.

At that time there were really only a few interesting jobs in web development (I specialize in Ruby on Rails). Is it better now?
-Author here- thanks! And yeah that is exactly the point... it's a mismatch in expectations and a misplacement of the person.
It's very similar to being an IC in a sales oriented company vs a product company.
The big issue is that most companies look for the "lean" type and then expects them to be the corporate type and this creates a lot of unhappiness in both sides!!
Rate limit banning. Don’t rate limit channel/server joining. Problem?

It’s like a bad troll face meme
To add further color to this, the Irvine Company benefits enormously from Prop 13. This law guarantees that once you hold property for long enough, your tax burden will be so much lower than everyone else you have a cost advantage that newcomers will not be able to match. So the current state law favors older companies over new ones.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978_California_Proposition_13
Definitely real. I clicked it and saw a real website. It was not my imagination.
Amusingly I see this happen all the time in the information security domain. Two researchers coming out with the same results at basically the same time and they were isolated and doing the work independently. It happens in science and other areas so often. It’s an interesting phenomenon for sure. Maybe someone has named it and thought more about it. I just imagine we are all primed with roughly the same information and resources and these lovely little coincidences pop up from time to time, relatively often.
Tiny Lasers Could Finally Bring Us Smart AR Glasses
Maps.me uses OSM.

I use OSM as my daily in the US and I love it, even without the FOSS part I'd use it over google any day, it is better. It is particularly useful for rural areas. When I started using it years ago it was not so reliable in the US particularly in urban areas, but it has come along way, that trope about it needs to die. It works so well for me I have people who don't care about privacy trying it out.
I developed an electron app last year. And maintain and add features for it currently. For a company that uses it to manage backend data. A mix of windows and mac users. It has worked out really well.

Aurelia and node.js for the front end (similar to react). Aws for the web services.

Haven’t run into any issues. Pretty solid platform.
Do you think Wuhan_Flu (the creator/mods) had/has bad intentions? At the time it was one of the few subs where you could talk about things you couldn't talk about in other subs (info leaking out from China regarding the virus). That sub was quarantined for spreading misinformation and fearmongering which someone at /r/OutOfTheLoop summarized as:

> The users of that subreddit believe in a conspiracy that the Wuhan Coronavirus is more serious than the governments of China and the United States are telling them. They believe the government is mismanaging the outbreak. They were quarantined because an admin believed the subreddit was spreading misinformation.
Don’t understand the Netflix abs games. I hope it’s a add on on the subscription. I don’t want games

This is unbelievably dishonest.

You can neither use correlation to prove causation nor can you use causation to prove correlation. X can cause Y but be uncorrelated to Y, and X can be correlated to Y without being caused by Y.
Making an arrest is not risk free for a cop, the career lowlifes who have been arrested dozens of times aren’t afraid of anything (including incarceration), and burnout affects even tech workers, of course it affects cops who want to make arrests to get people in jail, and can’t find the motivation when it’s to “create a paper trail.”
Yes, it is polluted and even toxic.

> The manufacturing of semiconductors generates wastewater that contains heavy metals and toxic solvents. Due to the hazardous nature of these liquids, semiconductor companies historically have incurred clean-up costs related to groundwater contamination of up to USD 100 million ... Some companies are proactively meeting these challenges and mitigating related risks by reducing their reliance on chemicals and pro-actively improving the treatment of water before discharge. STMicroelectronics, for example, recycled and reused 45% of the total water it withdrew in 2015 and it partnered with Micron Technology to install on-site fluoride waste treatment facilities.

The report also gives concrete numbers: Intel fabs consumed 9 billion gallons (around 3.4 trillion liters) of water in 2015.

Apparently a fab roughly consumes around 20,000 tons (around 1.98 million liters) of water per day:

> The chipmaking industry is water-intensive. According to nonprofit China Water Risk (CWR), an average semiconductor factory consumes roughly 20,000 tons of water a day, equivalent to the daily water use of a city of 58,000. Yet despite its high water consumption, the chip industry—in Taiwan, at least—is not normally a noticeable drain on communal resources.

US military conducts unmanned airstrike against ISIS-K planner
Nothing new here unfortunately: this is pretty much how every story of open source development targeting proprietary platforms end, especially web-based platforms such as *aaS or social media. I remember the same thing happening with Twitter 9 years ago.
Looking at the page source doesn't reveal the content either, so count me as another possible viewer the author has managed to attract, but then promptly lost.
I'm right there with you on administrative barriers.

What do you think of other housing options more common in the US, such as mobile homes, RVs, duplexes/quadplexes etc? What about ideas like renting rooms, dormitory style housing with shared spaces and things like that?
I don't think that is misleading; a storm downed the airship, resulting in nearly all the crew dying. That they didn't die on impact doesn't change things. If a torpedo sank a ship and most of the crew died from exposure in the water rather than the explosion (USS Indianapolis), you'd not say that torpedoes aren't a major threat to ships.

Regardless, if you don't like that example, pick from the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airship_accidents

Another comment elsewhere in this discussion says that airships stalled for fear of another Hindenberg. 'Fear' suggests some measure of irrationality, as though the Hindenberg were a one-off accident. The reality is these things were crashing all the time. People had ample reason to rationally expect airships would continue to crash.
The qsfp28 port can be configured as 4x10Gbps or 1x40Gbps, or 4x25Gbps, 2x50Gbps, or 1x100Gbps. They are different signalling standards.
The year is 2027. Power grids still go dark for ransom, but at least the internet has been turned back into TV. If you know how to use Linux, you might be able to pick up a fourth podcast!
Reading the weak and pathetic responses in this thread shows exactly why the problem is so bad.

>just give the junkies free housing!
>just expand mental health clinics!
>just…like…talk to them…and stuff. Sing kumbaya and send them to coding boot camp so they can get a job at Facebook!

You people are delusional. This problem is NOT complex.

>arrest/expel all public squatters

>use corporal punishment for those on which you cannot levy fines (like Singapore)

>wall the city and don’t let any of the expelled back in

Really not hard. Just takes an ounce of testosterone which none of you geeks have. Having tolerance for people defecating in public and smashing every other car window doesn’t make you caring or virtuous. It makes you an idiot. And a dangerous idiot if you vote. San Francisco is the most disgusting shithole I’ve ever seen. It will stay that way if this thread is any indication of its base moving forward. You lot are a bunch of feminine, ineffective, do-nothings.

All you need to clean up the city is 50-100 cops with billy clubs and permission to use them. Being a bum should be made so intolerable that the bums leave for Portland on their own accord. And the ones that still refuse should be jailed. Simple.

Enjoy your literal shit filled city.
You forcibly institutionalize them in a humane and properly funded institution. The public streets are not a place for untreated drug addicts and the mentally ill.
Why assume that the ultra wealthy should care about the lesser citizens? What about all the rampant looting in NYC? I don't think they cared then.

Maybe many of them just aren't pro American. In almost every other country the media/politics carefully try to project some national pride and sense of unity; it's actually the opposite here in the US isn't it?
I tried recently, but that documentation is insufficient to update a developer application's Activity status. I think they removed some vital information when they replaced it with GameSDK. Perhaps you will have better luck.

GameSDK is not an option for some applications, such as those wishing to include only open-source dependencies.
I wonder how many octaves and what frequency you’d get to on a piano with this many keys?

This is 1,398,101.333333333 octaves so I guess even starting at 1hz the top frequency is 2^1398101 hz.

Gamma rays are about 10^22 so the frequency is probably so high as to blow up the universe or something.
I mean its clearly a lab related incident.

China wouldn't have hindered the investigation if their own investigation hadn't already found that it was from their labs.
I think HIPAA is a good example, especially the somewhat infectious nature of business agreements. There are serious penalties with leaks, and the BAs leave everyone liable (and very, very cautious). I do think the teeth of the law make a lot of HIPAA leaks go unreported. I imagine the almost crippling financial and reputational impact gets weighed heavily against the cost of getting caught.
Mobile homes, RVs and the Tiny House movement are basically hacks to get around a broken system. The first tiny house was put on wheels to get around the zoning codes rather than fight them (I'm old enough, I read some of the earliest coverage of it back when it was a new idea).

Those things are proliferating mostly because we won't fix our broken system. Not mostly because people actually prefer that stuff.

Dorms, duplexes, renting a room etc fall under what I advocate for: SROs and Missing Middle Housing.
Incoming unsupported generalization: this is what happens when you mostly hire fanbois. I think (had a couple acquaintances move from hobby bot/gateway development to Discord employment) they source a lot of their team from people who were evangelists of some sort for the platform pre-employment. You also see it in gaming sometimes - OSRS comes to mind - where community members end up in community management/dev roles. There's something about that elevation from unwashed peon to One Of The Big Boys With A Forum Badge that really messes with the ego.
Most white collar workers would lock down anyway.

"Multiple Discovery" is kind of on the nose, but it works.
I can't speak for Google, but, at my most recent employer, people on the ads team told me their on-call is pretty hellish. There's no pay differential for switching teams that I know of, either.
Actually the US is not exceptional in that regard. Media and politicians sometimes use patriotic and popular sentiment (usually empty gestures like sport) to boost their popularity, but around the world in most western countries the tone is increasingly that they should be ashamed of themselves, of their original (secular) sin, and by no means should they take any pride or celebration in their society or its achievements.
We have different views about what is humane. I struggle to understand yours, but that's OK.
We seem to have very different definitions of simplicity. I don't consider even more loaded kernel than Linux currently is simple.
As the article notes, cities usually only will do so if you both want to leave and have someone willing to take you in on the far end.

If they just wanted to get rid of people they wouldn't worry about any of that.
It’s also quite capable, sporting an ARMv7 i.MX6 Quad SoC, 4GB of NAND, and a whopping 1GB! of DDR3

>If someone wants to get by on odd jobs and spend their time reading, exercising, and relaxing, why should anyone have a problem with that?

The right-wing sentiment that's been whipped up various times is that this type of lifestyle leads to welfare dependence, which comes at the expense of those who have the ambition and willpower to be productive. The sense that unproductive people would be entitled to the labor and profits of productive people has evoked anger among many. I'm not sure how strongly such a sentiment holds today when it's more obvious than ever that the money supply is less controlled by those productive people and moreso by centralized banking cartels and the elites who revolve around them. And yet, the people in our society who value self-sufficiently enough to work themselves to death cannot have their resentment towards supposed careless dregs quellled by a discussion on economics. Deeply rooted personal beliefs paint reality in black and white. For some, it's just prejudice. For others, it's the grounded fear of a former life at the bottom of 3rd-world society. For them: work, order, and riches are life; while play, frivolity, and consumption are death.
and to add to this - anything that apple is willing to settle for is probably going to be to the advantage of apple, rather than the developers (and the wider ecosystem of apps).

It's because apple fear that by fighting in court, they'd lose and have to give a concession that they do not like - and thus, they are settling for the least worst concession they can accept which is still not good enough to developers.

Don't accept this settlement. What have you got to lose? Apple's terms and condition on the app store is not going to get worse by fighting, and can only get better.
The author doesn’t mention it in the article but the pattern suggested is inversion of control (IoC) which is one of my favorites. Highly suggest looking into it if you’ve not heard of it.
> The productivity & economic benefits from a FAB and semiconductor ecosystem in India will far outweigh any negative, putting a plant close to a nuclear plant and a massive desalination plant to ensure both power, water as well as security will do the job.

Diversion of water resources to fabs (they require around 2 million liters a day; Intel fabs consumed 9 billion gallons / 3.4 trillion liters in 2015) can gravely affect our food security as 60% of our cultivable land are in "drought prone" areas. Moreover, the water released from the fabs is toxic and can heavily pollute our environment even after they are treated and stringent standards are complied with (and expecting that is a joke in India).

Your suggestion of using a nuclear plant and a desalination plant might seem practical, but it ignores the fact that the byproduct of desalination plants are huge quantities of various salts. And dumping them causes pollution (if you dump them back in the sea, it can create dead zones for kms around as most aquatic life cannot survive in such a "salty" concentrated environment).
