I disagree on 2 points:

> It is much easier for product designers and product managers to pass interviews. You can see their work product.

You don't see any more work of a product manager than of an engineer. What you see is always the finished product, and you have no idea who contributed what parts. If the overall product that can be publicly experienced is good, then some engineers in that team seem to have been doing a good job. You won't easily know which ones - and you especially don't know whether a product manager on the team really a lot of influence on this or whether the products vision and execution was mostly driven by engineers.

And the second point:

> If you could review someone's code from their previous jobs, I think it would be quite easy to vet applicants. And it would be much easier to move from job to job.

Sometimes employers can - because candidates have open source code. But experience has shown that these datapoints are not used, and employers still fall back to the default process of assuming nothing and doing whiteboard/leetcode style interviews.
Hmm, well the conventional explanation that I know of is that it's simply to reduce the lateral forces acting on your train and more importantly on the payload you're carrying - especially with passenger trains it's passenger comfort that's the limiting factor by far, not safety against derailment or overturning (which is how tilting trains can work, since tilting the train body only reduces the forces felt inside the passenger compartment, but not the forces acting at the wheel-rail level).

I see what you mean with regards to how it's also described on Wikipedia – only I've got some currentish (European) literature in front of me which claims that cant and the resulting cant deficiency/excess are only of secondary importance with regards to wheel and rail wear (the main factors are simply the curve radius itself and the construction of the running gear of the trains operating over the curve), and as such the main importance of cant is simply ride comfort. Likewise it also claims that according to some practical experiments done by some infrastructure operators, no link could be found between occurrences of cant excess for slower moving heavy freight trains and increased maintenance requirements (Which interestingly somewhat contradicts the corresponding supposition given in your FRA document...).

This also matches the evolution of the design rules on the German national railways – in the 80s there still used to be a relatively elaborate system of determining the allowable cant excess for slower moving trains depending on the annual tonnage of that kinds of trains, but since then at some point that system got dropped and has been radically simplified:
The regular cant is simply 55 % of the equilibrium cant and it's up to the design engineer to deviate from that value if necessary (when the speed distribution varies from that of a normal mixed-traffic route).

Interestingly all of that somewhat contradicts the statements given in your linked FRA document. To some extent this can probably be explained by European freight trains being shorter, somewhat lighter (lower axle loads) and also nowadays slightly faster than their American counterparts, and also due to traditionally using somewhat higher allowable cant deficiency values, especially with regards to passenger rolling stock.
It likely doesn't explain everything, though, but I don't know enough, either, to reconcile those two differing points of view.
One of my favorite pastimes is watching San Francisco implode on itself like a decaying neutron star of incompetence, corruption and NIMBYism all while everyone insists the emperors clothes are beautiful.

QUEUE THE DOWNVOTES by people literally stepping over the piles of feces and three overdose deaths today, too focused on their phone screen to see anything but the down arrow. "Well aschktully SF is as beautiful as it's ever been, you don't know what you're talking about"
Apple Music finally went lossless, but the iTunes Store has been stuck on "iTunes Plus" 256 kbps AAC since 2009?!?!

Lossless/future proofing is my primary reason for occasionally buying physical CDs, even if I just rip them and put them into a storage box.
I had the same reaction. I've spent most of my career working on non-consumer-facing software (either internal enterprise, or external to enterprises or small-medium businesses). At all the places I've worked, the team that built software was the one that would go on to operate it - there was no hand-off. Then again, I've never worked in consulting, nor worked on teams that used consultants to deliver code. Many of the points the article raised are good ones, it's a shame that the title is so misleading (or at least, reflects a narrow experience).
Props to the author for a graceful response, and I feel we should apologize for giving it the usual HN kicking. Whimsy comes across badly, and we've all had to deal with too many users of the word "totalitarian" for trivial subjects who are deadly serious about it.

> But with Common Lisp you just recompile the function while you are looking at your avatar as it stands in the room. No need to shut the game down first, no need to walk back to the room.

Ahem you can also do this in C#, Microsoft call it "edit and continue".

You can even turn it on for C++, but in that case it rarely actually works.

Perhaps you can do it in Unity?
As that kid I now regret not spending that time on something productive like reading interesting books or having a unique hobby (carving/skating/guitar etc)

Now I dont have time for anything and reflecting at that void space - it was filled with garbage - like running pokemon yellow 7 times in a row.
I’m also a Primephonic subscriber. Been using it everyday for the past 8 months. Let’s be honest, their mobile app sucks. I’m using iOS but willing to bet on their Android app sucking equally.

That said, I’m paying them for the giant catalog, good curation, and a dedicated streaming service just for the classical genre. Realistically I think these will stay with Apple’s acquisition. So in the long term I’ll probably be happy.

On the other hand, their decision to shut down the app before the alternative is launched is disappointing and unacceptable.
> no easy way to integrate calendars and org-agenda with something like a calDav server.

It would be great to have something like this.

I have a system which can at least handle invitations to events by means of a python script that convert iCal files to Org-style headers. It is triggered automatically via inotify so that every time a new iCal file appears into a specific folder it is appended automatically to an Org file. Now I simply save the .ics that comes attached to event invitation emails to have the time slot booked in my Org agenda automatically.

MusicBrainz Picard is the thing that rewrote all of my Russian composers in Cyrillic and after that I was never able to find any of them ever again.
The user (who appears to have posted this link, btw, based on recent post history) has been disruptive in the subreddit and Slack in the past, and then literally started publicly doxxing _and_ going around to social media to draw public attention to the post. I messaged them on Slack and they ignored it, continued to post in the thread, and continued posting on social media to draw attention to it. There's zero tolerance for doxxing in the elementary community, so they've been banned in accordance to the elementary Code of Conduct.
Asking people associated with Silicon Valley about Nigerian problems is probably about as effective as asking automotive racers about daily bike commuter problems.

My suggestion would be to talk to some Nigerians. Understand the people and the culture first.
The response from the repo owner is so bizarre. I believe Cassidy presented his viewpoint (on behalf of the org) pretty straightforward and "nicely", and it feels like the repo maintainer is just trying to play the technicality/gotcha game, and not respond to the original request.

From a discussion standpoint, krisives is indirectly saying they don't believe there's a valid trademark in here, and so they're indirectly saying they don't want to change the name. OK. If you have no intentions of complying with the polite request, just say so. It's sort of a jerk move (in my opinion), but OK I guess. Then elementary can bring about legal stuff if they wanna go that route. Why cause all this drama?

Also, this sort of thing happens quite often in the community, for open source projects and not. Being polite to other OSS maintainers goes a long way.
And all b/c your app may need python libraries which are currently built using glibc and not musl so it will compile from source. What a load of BS.

Can you accurately describe this 'bot mediated' downvote process?
If this can be attributed to a particular person-path -IP address? (who instruct these bots), I am sure this would be something that goes against the basic principals of Hacker News and would be of concern at the highest levels.
I can understand the 'flag' that can be attributed to various
'ist comments to ID and get them removed - but downvotes can be misused and bypass valid dialogs.
I make comments and get up and down votes. Often I get downvotes for correct analyses, and I also get upvotes for POVs I feel are also technically correct. I never deal in 'ist comments as they have no place here and are properly flagged.
Could some of your comments be almost flaggable and so got a downvote instead of being flagged?
One would expect flagged comments to be admin assessed for guilt and be deleted or even unflagged at the admin level - I realize admin time is scarce and there may not be time to waste on this - let them fall to the earth....
"Laches" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laches_(equity) is probably a relevant concept here. In a scenario like the one you're describing, the delay is likely to be taken into account, but it's unlikely to be the whole of the argument.

I’m gonna chime in here and say that in Cribbage you only “play” 4 of the 6 cards you’re dealt, the two discarded cards from each player become the crib which is counted for points, but not played.
Those seem like odd metrics to go by.
Which part do you think was "a jerk move"
Yes, in my opinion. If a law like this were passed in the United States I'd be vocally campaigning to get the law repealed and the people who voted for it replaced in the next election. Sadly, the Chinese people don't have that option, which only makes the situation that much worse.
Not OP but I often ask people their opinion on things (work/project related of course). I'm hoping to find some part of our domain where we disagree, to see how well they can have a civil discussion about something where we don't agree. To fit in on our team, everyone needs to be able to have mature discussions when we don't agree because disagreements happen a lot (and we end up with a better solution when we talk through them).
Very often, similar problems have been solved in other countries in ways that can very much be transplanted.

For example, Uber inspired several clones in other countries prior to Uber entering those markets. Using a de-risked business model is a legitimate business strategy for a startup.

what is success then? what are you trying to accomplish?

I'd argue the best way to accomplish whatever you're thinking about that we should be accomplishing - something that is hard to measure - is by maximizing GDP. Because GDP is correlated with everything you're thinking about accomplishing.
Or it could be that they say "climate change isn't real" in exactly those words.
You can stop it doing all kinds, but if you do, then it's not usable as a general purpose terminal. That's the problem.

A terminal needs to be able to spawn an unconstrained shell or other process linked to a pty that it controls the IO with.

That ability can equally be used for malicious purposes.

E.g. if the user can use the terminal to ssh anywhere, then the terminal itself can too.

There certainly can be situations were a constrained terminal could be useful too, though
> For example, I only learned in my 30s that "down" (as in Final Fantasy's "Phoenix down") refers to a type of plumage

For what it's worth, that's not at all what I'd consider a weird gap. As an educated 40-year-old native English speaker, I think it's possible I've gone my entire life without speaking aloud the word "down" in the sense of plumage. I'd only expect a non-native speaker to know it if they spent some time focusing on animal terminology.

I've been looking for an iCal server to serve as a database for events. I agree with the author, this space is rather empty. Most of the projects out there have aged quite a bit and could use feature enhancements. (I.e. annoymous RSVPs, flexible notification perefences on a per user basis)

I was looking at bedework, however it doesn't deploy very easily. Now I'm looking at Radicale. It does have a docker container, but it's not well documented.
> This is very subjective; I hate it ;). I consider Apple's Mail.app/Calendar.app/etc much better UI-wise.

Agree it is completely subjective - and I actually think that the Apple apps look better and are simpler to use, but personally I spend a lot of time in emails and arranging meetings, and I can get what I need to get done faster in Outlook (although I have tried to get along with Mail/Calendar in OSX, it's just slower for me).

For instance, let's say someone writes an email to me with 10 people on copy and says that we need to organise a teams/zoom call (which is a pretty common thing), the workflow for this in Outlook would be 5 clicks and can be done entirely within the application (including creating the Teams/Zoom call link). In Mail.app/Calendar.app it's way more involved and you get lots less control.

But if you just want a casual email client, then Mail.app probably does what lots of people need it to do. So when I talk about good-UI for me personally, I'm not necessarily talking about it being beautiful, but I think Outlook is more functional specifically for a power-user.
I think you mis-read me - what I was saying is, if the repo maintainers wanna just say no, we don't wanna comply - they're fine to do that I guess, I personally think it would be sort of a jerk move. Renaming something on Github is trivial. It's a bizarre hill to die on.

I guess that depends on what the model is used for.
If you like a model that looks realistic but has no texture, then go for your favorite skin tone.

If you like something that is not to “scary”, then get something more playful and make it rainbow-colored, thermochromic or better: glow in the dark.
There is a reason why most sex toys (for women) are not flesh colored.

If you want to create an educational model for adults, textured would be nice.

Try the same colored model for sex ed in school and you will have very interesting conversations with concerned parents.
In that case, you might also be better off with a color gradient or an unusual color (orange, green, blue, UV active).

And that way, you elegantly avoid traps that involve racial stereotypes.

Try it on wearebeautiful.info, the render engine allows you to change the color of any model you pick.
that is bizarre to me. i text my family but it is a very different experience compared to catching up over the phone. i usually call my dad every week or 2 to talk for an hour or so. one day you might not be able to hear their voices anymore

> "I think one thing is that we essentially sheltered a lot of these children during Covid," Combs said.
"So there's a theory that their immune systems didn't have the normal low-lying, routine level of exposure to the normal routine viruses like rhinovirus, so they weren't able to mount those kind of micro-responses to viruses and keep themselves ticking over," she added.
"Essentially it was like a bubble child, right? You've had them contained. You've had them quarantined ... and then all of a sudden we released these children. They're often in summer camps and we're even looking at going back to school. So all of a sudden these relatively naive immune systems that have kind of been resting on their laurels for the past 18 months are forced to confront the normal load of viruses and it's just that much harder to fight them."

Between this and kids missing swimming lessons for the past 18 months, I would wager that more children will be killed by downstream effects of efforts to isolate them from exposure to Covid than would have died from Covid itself.

I wonder if in future there will be slow, dignified recordings of Nicky Minaj et al
Yep. It existed for a while. It was canceled (as noted in the article) because not enough people were taking it.

I looked at it briefly but realized that I would need to study a significant amount of engineering aspects (how much water can flow through this pipe type engineering) to be able to pass the first exam.

For people who are developers, while the ethics, principals, rigor and similar type aspects of the PE exam process are useful, that it is still focused on being a PE first and a PE with an Software specialization second means that most people who are software developers would not be able to pass it or find use in the additional engineering principals that it provides (you wouldn't want me to sign off of a building design... well, maybe if I studied enough to pass the FE exam first...)

So, first I'd have to take the FE Electrical and computer exam... https://ncees.org/wp-content/uploads/FE-Electrical-and-Compu... or go with the other disciplines exam - https://ncees.org/wp-content/uploads/FE-Other-Disciplines-CB...

Either way, there's a lot of material there that I don't know and I don't imagine most CS new grads would have a clue on.

And that's just the FE exam. After four years of under a PE, then the PE exam - https://ncees.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/SWE-Apr-2013.pd...

It sounds like you have 2 issues here:
1. You need a user based event recommendation service
2. You need a personalized calendar subscription from that service (These don't have to be connected services)

The way voice assistants behave with classical metadata is just terrible, too. Once I naively asked Android Auto to play Act II from Carmen, and it proceeded to recite all of the metadata from the record, which went one for a good solid minute.

"OK, playing 'Act 2, Chanson, "Halte-là! Qui va là?", by Georges Bizet, José Carreras & Claudine Coster & Isabelle Karajan & Alain Hitier & Maria Laborit & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan & Georges Bizet ..."

We know because we can check a bunch of what he wrote. Not everything - not the miracles, not the resurrection - but we can check a bunch of the background details against known secular history.

When Luke wants to locate the start of John the Baptist's ministry in time, he says, "In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene, during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zechariah in the wilderness." We can check that all those people were in those positions at the time Luke said they were. He's tying the events he's narrating to a specific, concrete historical setting.

One little thing that I notice: When he's writing Acts, Luke is at times part of the events. He's describing Paul's travels, but sometimes it's "he", and sometimes it's "we" - that is, Luke is traveling with Paul. And whenever it's "we", the level of detail goes up. The ship had this figurehead. Here's where we sailed, day by day. But when Luke's not part of the party, he doesn't know at that level of detail, and he doesn't say what he doesn't know. That's a careful writer.
IIRC takeoff and landing are the most dangerous parts, so I'd be more interested fatalities per trip. An intercontinental plane ride would cover more miles than I drive in a year which makes the per mile stat meaningless to me. I think it would still be in the plane's favor but probably not as significantly. And in that case if you're a safe driver (healthy adult, doesn't drink or do drugs, doesn't speed, etc) it might skew in favor of driving since I'm sure some groups are much higher risk.

Good point. But if trackers and profilers aren't that good/accurate at analyzing the data, what makes us think that bad actors are any better at it?
