Not sure about the claimant's voice actually "going up an octave at the end of statements", but such speech patterns are common. I noticed this everywhere in Australia, especially among younger people, and regardless of sex/gender.

There's plenty of material written about it, such as Speech Patterns: Uptalking [1] (which has a section about its prevalence in Australia), and there's an interesting if navel-gazing BBC article [2] from 2014, The unstoppable march of the upward inflection? - note the question mark in the headline there. (The article mentions how bosses/older people tend to frown on this tic; quite a good read, IMO.)

And re the written word, I've increasingly noticed question marks in non-interrogative text (including on HN), which to me is the same thing as the uplift terminator in speech. Matt Levine [3], the Bloomberg finance writer, tends to do this a lot in his Money Stuff column/newsletter, in fact his writing is littered with this device.

I really don't understand why some people react so negatively to what I'd describe as quite a nuanced form of expression, unless it's along the lines of grammar pedants who don't appreciate that language always evolves; who imagine that the evolution ended when they learnt to speak and write.

I'd appreciate feedback on my thoughts/observations here, from other HN folk?

How would they obtain those abilities though if not while spending time on the issues brought up and learning how to learn.

I think sometimes people are just bored and can't be bothered to find the cause and solution to their issues, and over a long period of time that mentality sticks and becomes second nature resulting in phrases like "this software sucks, I need to read the docs to use it".

Quit work you mean? Because I can tell you now that the executives and owners of big companies don't really think about you as an individual at all.
Okay, so how should the following loop be rewritten:

while self.keep_going:
s = input('> ').lstrip()

if s == '':
continue

cmd = self.parse_cmd(s)

# The "quit" commands sets self.keep_going to False, oh the horrors
# of the global mutable state
cmd()

? Should it be:

for cmd in self.stream_of_commands():
cmd()

But stream_of_commands() will still have a loop inside it, wouldn't it? Because that's how you write generators?

We tend to give a very short update on what we're working on and what problems we have encountered, 30s - 1 minute I would say. Then there might arise some quick interaction, oftentimes leading to more discussion outside of the daily with the people involved.
We have ~10 teams operating this way, works just fine for everyone.
I can’t find a citation there for an hour of gas leaf blowing being 100 miles of car driving.

What I can find there is an hour of lawn mowing being comparable to 100 miles of car travel. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2001/05/010529234907.h... an hour of leaf blowing is probably worse, but that study is silent on the topic. (It’s also likely that far more hours of lawn mowing than leaf blowing is done in aggregate.)

That's interesting. I wonder how Germany handles child immunization records and public schools. This really isn't appreciably different.
True. Once things become 'cultural facts' they're hard to change. Another is explaining remote work to older generations, a lot of them just can't equate it to 'real work'
Companies are potentially putting themselves in quite a lot of legal risk...

For example, imagine a worker infects and kills another worker, and there is evidence of that (for example an office air filter is tested and finds high COVID-19 levels). Now the company has opened itself up to corporate manslaughter charges because they didn't do enough to keep their office disease free.

Cases of 'long covid' could also be very expensive if people start claiming they have sufficient brain fog they can no longer work, so they deserve a payout of a lifetimes salary with some multiplier.

One could also see it as an option that makes contributing to open source so much easier for small edits. There are plenty of times when I am working that I would make a small change or refactoring to a project, but the idea of cloning, setting up an environment, figuring out how they run tests, etc. makes for too much of a barrier to entry.

Ask HN: How to find Shopify app beta testers?
Hey HN,

My friend and I are exploring some Shopify app ideas. We wanted to talk to Shopify merchants to get feedback, but have had a hard time getting anyone to respond. Things we've tried:

1. Cold emailing stores that have downloaded similar apps.
2. Posting in FB groups (get deleted usually)
3. Posting in r/Shopify (no responses)
4. Posting in Shopify Discord (mostly devs)

For those who have build Shopify apps, any tips on how to find people to get early product feedback?
Selective memory, nobody cares about Igor who never got further than being a script kiddie.
This is pretty much it. Liberation means liberation of all the people I don't like, too, and it doesn't happen by going full Blue Team and further alienating them with useless slogans.

I've been dragged on Twitter by the same kind of Blue Team ideologue I've been accused of being by people who don't have enough resolution on me to see the difference, so I can at least empathize with them. If I were someone like that, I'd call me a useless twit too.

Joe Rogan might be a human weather vane, but there's a reason millions of people who otherwise consider themselves apolitical listen to him. Treating them as dismissible is why most of half the country doesn't vote. All the most effective voter suppression efforts of the Republican party, which barely gets half of the voting half in a good year for them, wouldn't mean anything if the other half weren't so alienating. The few points the Comey letter cost Clinton wouldn't have meant anything if the party wasn't run by smug fools.
Why not arm bands? Maybe in a few years when the left has gone full circle...
You can already do that today to fool basic image forensics. Security is never absolute, but if you make the hassle big enough it might suffice to protect the general population. Just like almost all smartphones don't let you mess with the wifi card or spoof your mac address unless you root them. If that wasn't the case, you'd see way more hostapd-wpe attacks these days, since every kid could do it.

Your comment is an equally bad generalization.

It's easy to get distracted and then focus on that distraction while high. That's not conducive to safe driving. We don't want people mindlessly blowing through an intersection because they were fixating on how the wind was making the tarp on the truck in front of them flutter.
I am sorry but as an application developer, I think this is all wrong. I'll thank my infra team today for not being assholes like this guy.

1. Application developers are your users. If we application developers took offense every time a user tells us that things are not working, we'd be pretty pissed off all the time. Educating and empathizing with your users is part of your job.

2. Talking about how it was better before: QA teams sure do buffer a lot of crap. They also cost a bunch and slow down time to release. Yes agile is causing problems. The bureaucracy and stiffness of organizations before agile was no nirvana either.

3. By your own affirmation you treat applications as black boxes that should be deployed using a runbook that should just work. This is ridiculous. Application's ownership is shared between everyone who works on it.

4. And yes, as developers, networking or physical drive space are things that we tend to abstract away. Maybe if the infrastructure people were involved in development discussion earlier, they'd be able to raise their hands and say: wait a minute, you're going to blow up our logs.

This all feels like someone who used to not do anything suddenly being asked to take part in what's happening...

EDIT: apologies for the strong language and sounding like an asshole myself, but I certainly feel irritated when someone takes the time to write a 5000-word article complaining about whiny developers who thought they could own ops but actually don't know anything and scream for help when they themselves are the cause of all evil.

The first is a transform of the values (with only that, the list stays the same length, the IF says whether the transform happens or doesn't for each value), the second is a WHERE filter picking or dropping some values (list might shrink), you can have both (list shrinks and the selected values are transformed):

Driving high is still driving impaired. The failure modes may be different, but that doesn't mean someone who is high is safe to drive.

I'm not sure what the point of your comment is though, as I don't think anyone is suggesting that these drivers will actually be high while driving. Rather, they are people that use marijuana recreationally and would test positive for THC, disqualifying them from many jobs (despite the fact that urine THC levels do not corelate with how "high" someone is).
You never have any level of reasonable expectation that you’ll be admitted to a country you don’t have citizenship or a visa for. It’s a substantially different scenario.
I don’t know most of the times error messages on computers are garbage. People build up some type of fear for the error message format.

I have an example:

I built a logistics and invoicing tool a few years back with error messages that where human readable with clear proper messages that told the user exactly what they did wrong and it even proposed how they might fix the problem.

I don’t know how many times I had to go to the users workstations read the text out loud for them like they where a 5 year old and ask them what they thought it meant.
They always knew what it meant but I had to read it for them it was embarrassing.

And these where university educated accountants that where using the software.

After a lifetime of garbage error messages like “error code 4513” people just zone out.

This certainly says something about the popular epistemology.
The societal risk of infecting immuno compromised people with random generic disease is small. Scale matters. Similarly you're not allowed to walk around new york if you're confirmed to be carrying a novel strain of ebola.

Permitting individuals to choose to be vaccinated and building owners to choose to forbid vaccinated people seems reasonable to me. Sacrificing individual freedoms for the mutual benefit of the larger group is the very core concept of society.
You can change into an existing mount namespace, which is what commands like "docker exec" or "machinectl shell" do to execute a command within the mount namespace of an existing container. The container can do the same to escape its mount namespace, but it needs privileges to execute the respective namespace-changing syscall, and it needs to know which namespace to change into.

I have an application in a Kubernetes-managed container which needs to do exactly this to access the host system (to open LUKS containers and mount their contents), so I have it run in privileged mode (i.e. with access to all syscalls) and give it the full host filesystem as a bind mount, so it can do:

nsenter -m /host/proc/1/ns/mnt mount $DEV $PATH

(The actual nsenter invocation is slightly more complicated, but that's the basic gist.)

Side-note: Since there will inevitably be a comment along the lines of "but then what do you even need isolation for", I'm very explicitly using Kubernetes as a deployment mechanism only. Other pods within the same Kubernetes are strictly isolated, but this one deliberately runs with practically no isolation. But I still get the consistent environment that Kubernetes provides (rolling upgrades, log shipping, liveness probes, etc.).
They can use this as a way to get the people who don't vaccinate to self identify by luring them into
"you don't have to come back to the office, you can work from home".

Once people have been identified they will have the list of people to let go.

Read this and substitute Jew for Antivaxer:

Using the term antivaxer is the first step to dehumanizing people.

Next, comes "the antivaxers have a choice" conversations and some of them do, some have a mental block ( could be called mental illness), some may have what they perceive as a healthy fear of the government, which is justified as the government has done some pretty shady things like giving people Syphilis under the guise of medical care.
If seen this pattern happen where people get into little gossip circles where they ruminate on slights and offenses so much that they become magnified in their minds. Looking at it from outside that circle things seem pretty mild or not like anything to be concerned about, but when you dwell on them constantly and surround yourself with people consistently reinforcing the validity of dwelling on them, it takes on a life of its own.

Then when the seed is planted everything the gossip target says it does gets put under a microscope to confirm the suspicion that they hate you or are discriminatory or are retaliating over something or other.

I don’t really know what the fix is. I think the basecamp furore recently might be the way. Just discourage this sort of clique formation around airing grievances. But then that has the effect of not giving space for valid grievances.
It’s never been required for jobs because historically the most virulent transmissible diseases were spread by children and adolescents. And in Germany of course the Labor Minister is going to push back on anything demanded by any employer - there is no information in his position.

Devs with this many extensions are an OpSec/data governance nightmare!
