I don't agree with most of your points, but I do (at least on initial review) agree with this:

> They don't even offer the obvious "2 in 1" dongles where one dongle would contain e.g. two USB-A ports.

I would have thought that by making the expansion ports slightly wider, including 2 USB-A would be possible.

At my side gig running livestreams, I often end up with more than 4 USB-A devices connected, unfortunately, so with USB-C charging and HDMI, I'd need a dongle to use this device even with such a 2x USB-A expansion.

- USB-A dongle for wireless mouse

- External USB-A sound card (to connect the mixer board)

- External USB-A camera

- External USB-A flash drive to load up PowerPoints etc
provided by the presenter

- ... and then maybe I need to plug in my USB-A Yubikey to authenticate. Or a 2nd flash drive.

That said, using a USB-C hub/dongle for cases like mine isn't the end of the world.
The problem I have is they always want me to train someone as insurance for if I leave. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy when you make me work and train mediocre people. I just want to build great things and be left alone.
Out of the 50 ish devs I've worked with closely, I've seen two I would say are in the '10x' camp. They were relentless in writing solid, simple, bug-free code, and doing so faster than everyone else. They were also effective in communicating their work. i.e. They weren't head-down in the corner savants.

Their productivity was also significantly more consistent across a range of areas and task complexity, compared with other devs who would slow if working in an unfamiliar area or on a more complex task.

Finally, good (and bad) decision making compounds with software. The right high level approach can pay easily pay of 10x over time just as a bad approach will result in buggy, bad performing software, and multiple rewrites.

In short, this article does not match my experience.
There is no longer an official gatekeeper off switch on M1 as far as I know.
If pot were legal I expect most people would consume it via drinks and edibles. The main disadvantage of these products is controlling dose, and those go away with a well regulated market.
You could just crop then scale which should give you a lot more control.
"Here in the Nordics there is no law protecting you from not getting fired for not showing up for work during a strike."

Though I can't speak to that fact specifically, I doubt that Nordics can be fired from not showing up due to striking - because 'striking' i.e. the threat of shutting down the factory and the company not being able to dismiss everyone is the basis for the collective bargaining power.

Without the 'power' there is no basis to bargain.

If the company can just punt unskilled workers and hire new ones, then striking has considerably less power in most scenarios.

That said it's worth pointing out the differences between Nordic Unions and traditional American Unions. The later is heavily working class (think Ford/GM plant) while the former is just as much 'White Collar' (think Teachers Union).

Also, it's worth pointing out that again, technically, it's 'legal' to 'not show up for work' even if you're a member of an N/A union, it just means you'll be let go and that's that. People are pushing the wording of that far to aggressively.
Ask HN: Expectations from Engineering Managers

You might be right, and for what it’s worth I think you are. But this comment breaks HN rules. Please review them.
To my eye the grandparent is right and your reading is the uncharitable one. Obviously I think there is some "clickbait" going on in the title, which you can take issue with, but the article is pretty clear:

On objectivity: "Objectivity allows researchers...to define themselves as experts without learning from people with lived experience. Objectivity also gives researchers grounds to claim they have no motives or biases in their work. ... At best, objectivity curbs how impactful research can be, and, at worst, it irrevocably harms a community.

On rigor: "...researchers often define rigor as following an established research protocol meticulously instead of ensuring data are contextualized and grounded in community experience. Rigor in this sense does not guarantee trustworthiness or accuracy."
Pretty much. One has to stay unemployable which probably isn't as easy as one would think.

The canonical app could have filtering built in, then if either you or the other person on the end is using the canonical version, the messages would get filtered. It's very likely everyone would be using an alternate release of the client.
I'd want numbers for that; youtube is fairly efficient, especially on a mobile device.

I'm sure that's true for some small percentage of the population to try and one-up each other with dangerous acts. But the fact that they do it because it is illegal is very dubious. Where is the world of underground illegal cycling on freeways? Right, there is no culture of that because no one from the general populace is doing that for fun. The one-upping can only exist in a culture that is well established via some other means. For instance, search for "gravity biking" which is an incredibly dangerous sport that only exists in places with a big cycling culture. The legality of pot has nothing to do with daredevil behavior.
Writing that you can always be fired without any reason is not entirely correct.

For anyone who's covered by "funktionærloven" (a law that covers pretty much all white collar employees who's not hired under a collective bargain), the employer can only terminate without cause in the first twelve months of employment.

Since an employee has a 3 month notice period after 6 months of employment, this means that after 9 months (3 months notice makes the employment longer than 12 months) the employer needs to provide reasonable cause for termination.

> So the incentives are generally aligned. When I deploy a system I want it to run on 5 servers not 50 for cost reasons not because I'm being green. If I'm being green by accident, that's a bonus.

I think that's the whole game right there -- figure out how to make sure negative externalities stop being external and become part of the cost. Then incentives will naturally align, as opposed to being at odds. In the case of your comment, you're noting they're already aligned, but overall I think many times they are not.
Depends on how much the 1x wins, and that depends on who they play, where, when, in what state of mind, with what extra resources…
I was curious to read definition of ableism so clicked link - got more on racism

“Mainstream scientists, geneticists and medical researchers still invoke race and use these categories in their work, even though we have been told for 70 years that they have no biological meaning, that they have only social meaning,” Saini says.
I think it's already a foregone conclusion at this point with respect to the migration. Places like Boise Idaho have already been smacked with the SV stick and their housing market has been a horror show ever sense. The problem won't be the personal politics of the migrants but rather the effects that come from them eating up more resources which the governments in those red states haven't accounted for, especially housing and schools. There's already a strong anti-migrant (or rather anti-Californian migrant) sentiment in places like Colorado and Idaho last time I read up on it. I expect this to get worse and probably cause some strange events (not like personal violence but more political upsets in the coming decades).

A "200:1" IPS display can't really provide that 200:1 contrast at e-paper-like luminance. In fact, it probably can't even provide the same contrast as e-paper itself. The technologies are too different for a direct comparison.
Their definitions seem reasonable:

"Objectivity...is the distance between the “researcher” and “researched.”

"Rigor measures whether research is reliable, accurate, and trustworthy."

I think perhaps you are reading a meaning into my comments that is not intended. At no point have I argued, nor would I ever argue, for some waterfall-based approach and magical everything-fully-known-up-front documentation.

My argument is that whatever stage you’re at in your development process, if you don’t have clear requirements, you don’t know what you’re trying to build and you have no way to define whether your software is working or not. The comparison from the Agile Manifesto makes little sense, because having comprehensive documentation of your requirements and acceptance criteria is a prerequisite for even being able to define the working software that the Manifesto says is more valuable.

Of course you might do all kinds of prototypes and proofs-of-concept to help you explore the problem space and clarify the requirements in the early stages of your project, and maybe again later if there are significant changes. But this work isn’t about building working software, because you don’t know what that means yet; it’s about doing experiments to help you find out.
I wonder if this might be penny wise and pound foolish.

Hypothetically, if it takes even a single week longer to make code much more efficient and only 20% of that workforce is driving to work, making coffee, running their laptops, etc, do you come out ahead?
Agile needs a small team, high trust and cooperation, and shared common motivation. You won't find that in the sprawling politics ridden corporation, plastered with slogans promoting team work, communication, keeping it real, but sorely lacking these virtues in reality

Oh ok so you get to make a claim and it's perfectly fine and I'm wrong to do so?

I disagree, sorry it offends you (and obviously multiple others). Maybe open your eyes a bit and pay more attention to comments on posts on this site. Every article about social media censorship on this site is met with a plethora of ridiculous denials that it doesn't exist when any sane individual can see it clearly does.

Either they're ignorant or they just agree with it. Maybe it's the former and I am wrong but my "money" is on the latter.

Not sure the twitter thread is as valuable as the article itself. Suggesting a change:

"Equitable Research Requires Questioning the Status Quo"

https://www.urban.org/urban-wire/equitable-research-requires...

--

My takeaway from the article is the assertion that because of current academic practices which value distance between researchers and subjects, research procedures, and funding-inspired biases, research is impaired by both a lack of personal insights as well as existing societal structures which often embody systemic racism. It probably could've been less edgy in making the point (the current title is a literal summary of what the author of the analysis wrote), but considering how many others tried and failed to make the same point in research (I'll find citations for this), I don't blame anyone for trying new messaging.

I'm not really equipped to say whether I agree with where the piece lands (I probably do), but I did find the author's use of "rigorous" in her bio both amusing and interesting; I'm wondering if it's a hidden critique of her own org. First highlighted in this tweet: https://twitter.com/bnprogressive41/status/14404720434434785...

TL;DR: it's trying to shine light on research deficiencies and prejudices differently than others have done so in the past.

If anyone is curious, the origami stellated [1] icosahedron in the second image is built from Sonobe modules [2][3], a kind of modular origami. Basic structures formed by Sonobe units have 3-sided 45-45-90 pyramids on top of an underlying polyhedra with triangular faces.

Each Sonobe unit functions as an edge in the underlying structure, so building a structure around an icosahedron, which has 20 faces and 30 edges, requires 30 units, and yields a stellated icosahedron with 60 faces and 90 edges.

You can also build a stellated octahedron from 12 pieces, and a stellated tetrahedron (which actually just appears as a cube) with 6 pieces, but that's just the beginning [4]!

[1]: Strictly speaking, it's not a true stellation, which is formed by extending the planes of faces until they intersect.

What usually happens in those bigger projects is that for every distinct piece of functionality there is a person, let's say Igor, that knows it inside out and to whom everybody comes when they have a question. Sometimes one Igor is in charge of several subsystems, or there is one Igor per subsystem, but I'm yet to see a subsystem that has more than one Igor with a real, significant, working knowledge of it.

How exactly Igors come in possession of such knowledge is irrelevant to this empirical fact. Some may build up security by obscurity and make themselves indispensable; some might have accrued the knowledge by either being the one who designed it, or having had to debug its guts because a change had to be made. An Igor can be a bottleneck or a godsend. The defining trait is that whenever there's a weird issue in a subsystem or more than a cosmetic change needs to be made, everyone goes, "let's ask Igor" or "let Igor do it". Again, doesn't matter if Igor is good or evil.

Even when Igor is open towards the idea of knowledge sharing, even eager about it sometimes, everyone else is lukewarm at best, and all non-Igors just hope they don't replace Igor at his job. It's just damn convenient to have Igor around. When Igor departs the company, knowledge transfer sessions usually consists of Igor working hard to explain everything, and everyone else quietly hoping that somebody else will listen and take notes. No one will remember where the notes are, though, and where the recordings of the sessions are stored, or whether they indeed are made and stored at all.

When Igor gets hit by a bus, even the most documented system he was tending to will likely be replaced by something else, because reading is too much work already, and comprehension is even more so. There also may be an emerging larva of Igor who wants to put some cred onto his résumé, so he will obviously want to redesign everything in the coolest technology du jour.
Hehe, same, as if it had something to do with pouring or drinking (e.g. polewka in PL)
I agree. I thought pot wasn't supposed to be so addictive that users had the same withdrawal they get from nicotine. I was at a reunion picnic on Labor Day and people in another group had to take a break to go down to their cars to get high. It was a breezy day so our group was swamped with the skunk smell of today's pot. Additionally, I was at an amusement park last year and they have certain areas set aside for smoking. They are little alcoves off the normal walking paths and behind some bushes and trellis. Every time we went past one, all you could smell was skunk. I think we are starting to get into second hand smoke kind of issues. I could care less if people want to get high, I just don't get the need to be constantly high in public.
Who is going to release first, Tesla Roadster or the Lucid Air?
This is describing a lot of what happened here in Canada. People still smoke pot, but edibles are widely available. I can order anything I want online and have it shipped in a day or two. I can walk across the street to the nearest store and but what they have.

But some people still smoke pot.

Shell escapes may be one of the most common escaping issues I see these days. Most programmers have gotten into their heads that they need to escape SQL and HTML but for some reason the most commonly used commands to start new executables use the shell and people bang strings together to build the argument strings. Languages/libraries should make it incredibly obvious which strings are passed to the shell and ideally would apply protections such as automatic escaping that is frequently done for HTML.

But the thing that I don't get the most is that passing a list of arguments is easier than using the shell in a lot of cases. I frequently see people build a list of arguments then join it by spaces! Save yourself a step and just pass the list to `exec` directly.
How many laptops does it run on all day, and does anyone run it on desktops instead?

I think Rogan is just going where the money is, which is low-key pandering to the "alt-right" or whatever the hell it's called this week. That is clearly where the big bucks are in talk radio, social media grinding, etc.

There aren't many liberal, leftist, actual-libertarian, or centrist personalities with huge audiences. The only ones that come close to the far right are "dirtbag leftists" like Chapo Trap House who use an equally obnoxious anti-intellectual straw man bashing style. If you want the audience, apparently you gotta troll and get stupid. I get the sense that the people who would make up those audiences for higher-brow content have better things to do.

I noticed a distinct change in his guests and style when he started to get big, which probably means he's feeling the pressure to rake in those ad dollars for the networks.
Even if you do have room in the Sprint, the formal Scrum methodology says adding a ticket requires tossing the Sprint. I suppose if you are removing an equal number of story points you can get away with it if you look the other way.

But then you have another issue, the sprint gets oversubscribed or behind and instead of stuff moving to next Sprint the team works overtime. Now all the sudden the velocity calculations look like you have one velocity but really it's because you added extra capacity that sprint.

Won't take long until "extra capacity" because "the normal way."

> Can a 10x marathon runner finish 26 miles in less than 1 hour?

That’s the wrong analogy because marathon runners are already the 10x-ers of movement.

The average person could cover the distance of a marathon, but it would take them many days of walking and resting.

A marathon runner can finish a marathon in around 5 hours. That’s an order of magnitude faster than an average person, so yes, they are 10X-ers.

Most people can walk, but few people can cover so much ground so quickly. That’s the essence of the 10X designator.

The average programmer is not like the average marathon runner.
