Excellent paper, thank you for sharing it.
> a food service candidate who reflected, “I felt ASHAMED that they weren’t prepared at all and they were at this point where they just met me like 10 minutes ago and they wanted to hire me right away without checking my resume or anything.”

I can think of a lot of positions where "candidate showed up on time, having showered, wearing clean clothes, and exhibited a pleasant 5 minute interaction" are enough to make an offer. Does the applicant want to be tested on leetfood or something?
> ” Google has seventy brazillian people, and we have six on our team.”

I spent a good few minutes trying to understand this sentence. Mainly because I am Brazilian and was stunned how did you know that I was. Then trying to understand how the number of Brazilian people might affect standup dynamic. Then trying to understand exactly how many Brazilians there were in Google and how many of the six of your team were Brazilian. Just then I understood it was an expression for “a lot” hahaha
Years ago someone made a potato-powered web server. It was an 8-bit microcontroller with a custom TCP/IP stack, if I remember correctly.
I wonder what the economics are like for a Starship-delivered nuclear-powered Bitcoin mine in space…
> With an idle load, this particular laptop draws 14W of power with the screen turned off.

That's an extremely high idle power usage, I also have a laptop with a Ryzen 9 4900HS (the ROG Zephyrus G14, the only laptop with this chip, to my knowledge), and it idles around 9-11W with the screen on. Most of that is actually because of the RTX 2060 that's bundled with it, and won't turn off in Linux because Nvidia doesn't give a shit. I also suspect the author doesn't have a lot of power saving tunables enabled.

By comparison, another laptop I have with a 4700U (also eight cores) and no discrete GPU idles at 2-3W.

EDIT: If this author is reading this, this [0] is a good page to start from, along with powertop. I'd install and enable TLP, disable boost for efficiency, enable the tunables suggested by powertop, and maybe try nouveau for putting the GPU in the lowest power state.

listennotes has become my go to site when I want to find podcast for my daily commute (about 30min). Its got good UI/UX. Pretty well executed for a one man company.

I wonder though if the niche search engine market can fetch them enough money to be profitable.
I agree that choices at scale might not make intuitive sense. I just don’t believe that Apple has a true motive to minimize climate impact, and thus their choices at scale are all suspect. They certainly want to appear as tho that is one of their goals - but as long as the impact of a choice is hidden they have no reason to make the right choice.
It's fascinating !

Do you have some intrusive thoughts, like things you can't help thinking about and that you can't tune out ?

Do you control when those plays are happening or is it all the time ? Maybe in the background of your mind, like conversations in a cafe when you don't focus on it, and only when you decide to pay attention to it you do hear the conversation and the words ?

I wonder if in your case it's some kind of imagination going unbridled and you getting in the spectator's chair and in my case I don't have that kind of imagination anymore (or not the kind that invokes(?) those voices) and it has been tuned out/repressed for such a long time that there is now only one voice - mine - that I can hear ?

I also wonder what "listen to your inner voice" means to different people.

And the role schizophrenic thoughts played in our culture (`hearing voices`). Is there a connection ?
That’s the beauty of 2 factor. If you lose your phone and a bad actor picks it up, they now have one of your factors (what you have) but not “what you know.”

Your example is a great reason for 2FA to exist.
Ok but when you are comparing USA with Oceania, arent there quite a lot of factors to consider? For example, it is established that bmi plays a factor in covid deaths: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7010e4.htm

Is the BMI of USA the same as all of Oceania? What other factors are in play as well? Probably a lot I would imagine.
Fewer people probably would have read it if the title said what it actually was.

2 feet of snow on the ground is rare, and I honestly believe that people's worries about walking and biking in the snow are more reflective of a lack of familiarity than any genuine unpleasantness.

Nordic countries manage strong bike cultures, too, and don't let winter get in the way of that. I have family in a mountain town in Colorado, and there, the only people using cars to get around town are the tourists, even in winter. This is also how all of America was, not too long ago. My great-grandmother did own a car, but opted instead to ride and walk, year-round, basically until the day she had to move into an old folks' home. Her family's first car was a Model T, and she just never did get in the habit of avoiding the outdoors.

Long story short, it's amazing what human bodies can be comfortable with, if only you give them the chance.
The article explicitly agrees with the sentiment of GP; it states that among the solutions is increasing compensation to reduce turnover. Obviously it's not the only part to the solution, since you've dug yourself hole by having poor retention in the first place, but it certainly helps to stop creating the problem as you solve it.

Uber is basically shifting from a heavy NIH "build, don't buy" culture to a less insulated culture. This is manifesting at all levels, from more widespread adoption of AWS/GCP internally to seeking partnership deals (in SDV w/ Aurora, but also in other areas e.g. SKTelecom, etc)
I worked for a telecomms/webcasting company for about 5 years as a product manager. I can tell you from personal experience that a significant portion of the Fortune 500 (if not all of them) required ISO 2700X certification to even be considered.

The certification burden increases in proportion to the level of PII you are storing. The burden was much higher for government or med/bio contracts (FedRAMP/HIPPA, etc.). It's also worth it to mention that we had whole teams dedicated to working through RFPs/RFCs as they can get VERY time consuming.

Bottom line is that if you are going to work with the big fish, you will probably need this level of certification to show them you are serious.
I know the service! The folks in NY had the state flag by their cubicle. My team in 2007-2011 was probably one of the largest users and I think I donated machines to y'all in the old Groningen cluster, before quotas were automated. GFS didn't charge for chunkserver overhead, either, and that mistake took years and lots of pain to fix...
Is that why we make judgement calls on this case? No one can know the intent or original thoughts of the author, but we can certainly ascribe qualities to their product based on our experience...

The fun exercise here is not that this is yet another vapid post on HN, but that people are defending it.
I should say that back in the day Nat was one that got me into coding. His nat.org blog (unfortunately cannot find it anymore on archive) was such an authentic piece of writing with his Xamarin and GNOME adventures along with posts and great photography on his general coding life working for OSS and other smallerish companies such as Novell. It was truly inspiration and made me want to live that life - building cool things with great people - but more importantly enjoying the whole human side around it where your colleagues become your friends and coding is just something that gets you closer to one another - similar to "playing guitar" or "cycling around town" or "going snowboarding together".

Of course his corporate persona is a bit different, but his work is still inspiring. Best of luck with your next adventure Nat! Cheers.
It's exactly like that. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But handling use cases like reading your own safely encrypted past messages after your phone number changes seems pretty reasonable to me.
What about router/modem power draw? Needs to be some sort of connection to the internet to truly function as a website. (Not being connected would mean it's a wan site or intranet site)
Why would a recruiter spend time and effort on reading everyone's cv and writing personal letters to every candidate? They won't be able to reach more than 10 people in a day doing that, and probably will get 0% responses anyway.

I also get these spammy job ads every day but I understand why and I can't offer a better method that actually works better. If you were in their shoes, would you do differently? Only if it worked to be different. So far it doesn't seem to work.

Just today I got an email from a recruiter with her playlist so I would know her mood. So yeah. Recruiters try all sorts of things but it's very hard.
Why is that a surprise? All of the top tech companies have many public acquisitions and all of the leader info is available from multiple sources. In fact, you could use that leader info from LinkedIn to understand that Nat was already at MS from the Xamarin acquisition to know that his tenure at GitHub wouldn't be a good data point.
There are services that have safeguards in place against sim swapping, coincidentally one of them is Fi: https://support.google.com/fi/answer/9834243?hl=en
You can change the thickness of the shadow. Try to do that in other GUI.
They do mention parallell writes (multiple lasers at the same time) which would give writing speeds of 96MB/s (500 TB in 60 days).

Which isn't half bad, certainly on pair with standard mechanical hard-drives.
This is just one and I'm sure there are more to come because if the practice is unsustainable a large part of the community would not support it in the long term. https://medium.com/celoorg/a-carbon-negative-blockchain-its-...
Considering how powerful politically Israel is in the US and how seemingly the NSO Group was government-sanctioned, this seems crazy to me.

I would not be silly enough to think this means less unconditional support for Israel in general, though. NSO Group just specifically got too toxic.
My bet is that a significant chunk of this is the push of populations out of cities and into car-focused suburbs. Matches up quite well timeline wise as second-order effect of the post-war suburban boom.

You must have a very low level of expectations of your fellow HN reader if you think that anything above a Hello World tutorial is relatable to a regular developer.
Why do you describe it as less directly related to squid and varnish? I haven't worked with ATS before, but it's documentation describes it as "a high-performance web proxy cache that improves network efficiency and performance by caching frequently-accessed information at the edge of the network" which makes it seem to fill a similar role as them.
> The whole point of 2FA is to have "2" independent pieces of data to verify logins. Gating 2FA behind a single password defeats the point.

Indeed.

It's also why I think U2F should be mandatory in way more places/sites/companies (it is in some, thankfully): you then need to physically have a Yubikey or similar and it's not possible anymore to trade security for convenience. It doesn't solve all security issues, but it's already a great step forward.

When you let people the choice, they'll pick the lazy, insecure, way.
Seems like a great reason to test, gather data, and improve in NYC, no?
Some recruiting, like some sales jobs and like many things in life, is a numbers game. And there is zero cost for the bulk messaging campaign on the way to the 1/50 affirmative response they will get. If there is a way to solve this inefficiency, it's well worth building a better solution.
I’ve long felt that the decentralization of the San Francisco tech scene is great news for New York… for the price I’d much rather be in Manhattan than somewhere that fancies itself a quaint small town.
We'll see soon enough. If this is what's going on, the process rarely takes more than a year, year and a half.
Gotcha. I work in this industry, but not as a trader. I figured it would be pretty rough. I too would also love to build my own software stack from the ground up.
He probably can but doesn't want to. He may be posturing for whatever thing he wants to do next which requires being "very professional" (aka high-quality executive bullshit). Or he might just be boring as hell. My dad was an executive, and he was one of the most bland and uncreative human beings I've ever met.
Why is it bad? If government competition forces wages up, that seems like would finally solve the decades long wage stagnation that markets have been unable to, right?
Your aesthetic is not mine. I find "material" toolkits to be masochistic at least if not worse.
It just goes down to the function of such a rule. Who made that rule? It’s just power dynamics. It’s simply oppressive to force weak militaries to lose. Weak countries that will lose in head to head combat. In paraphrasing but there’s two ways to fight the U.S. the stupid way or guerrilla warfare. Let’s not forget how the revolutionary war against Britain was won because they didn’t follow formalities.
Then we probably agree to disagree on this point.

A braggadocios "goodbye letter" is worse than no letter at all.

The corporate speak regurgitation is icing on the cake.
More of a "saved you a click" than a TL;DR. Most people on HN probably don't care to read about GitHub changing CEOs.
It seems a case of JSON addiction, or even (since there are semicolons) JavaScript addiction.

GitLab is currently trading for $16 billion.

It'd be reasonable to peg GitHub as being worth $40-$50 billion.

That's a serious asset for Microsoft shareholders - even if the parent is worth $2t - and they will want to see it flourish. Which goes in line with what the parent comment noted about presenting the correct impression, not only to shareholders but also to anyone interested in working at GitHub for Microsoft. Potential employees will want to know that the context is healthy.
Yeah, that is so scary. To think that an organization is so disorganized and then wrestling with the thought that you need a job but should you risk wasting your time with this company.
It does sound kinda wild when you put it that way. Propose that today and I'd be like "what the HN delusions is this?"
I disagree.

I think you'll find high-income finance/law/medicine/entrepeneur types are even more time and energy constrained. Yet, I doubt the poster would be bleating about them.

There is a nasty polemic (especially prevalent on HN) that any possible advice about personal choices must be from some racially-narrow, empathy-lacking urbane perspective.

And the poster also suggests that coloured folk can neither perceive, nor possibly comment that that a group of largely overweight, sedentary, reasonably affluent people stuck to 70" TVs shouldn't perhaps just go for a walk.

It's funny to me that you think Musk isn't an "always-be-selling" type of person and that you think he speaks his mind without spewing "corporate speak" because to me, "Musk speak" is just another form of corporate speak.

Musk isn't so much "speaking the truth", he's more "selling things, his way".
The whole point of the article is that the vast majority of engineering teams have some power. It's not a license to derail the company with technical OCD, but as in all things… "balance, grasshopper."

Yes, there is 1% who can't follow that advice for various reasons of desperation. Not enough to continue arguing this thread.
For most food service positions you are right.

A clarification I'll add is that the hiring processes (for most mid-large employers) are multi-staged (off site drug testing, etc) and the most straight-forward hirings take a month or more.
> trigger a productivity phase

[Citation needed]. I find standups and their context switching cost me at least an hour of productivity each day.

> Team communication has no value

If you want to communicate with your teammates, just use Slack and communicate instantly, why wait for the next morning's standup? If anything, standup slows down communication.

> Team leader having a chance to quickly gauge progress

You mean like the [insert ticketing system] board? Why do we have to waste time talking about stuff that's already being tracked?

I like the idea of "abtracting" a human with automated processes. I think you're right that a semi-automated chatbot is exactly that. The thing to be super careful about in such cases is whether the automated component is purely beneficial, and be rigorous with data to ensure it is.
No, you're saying that racism can be bi-directional and/or against those with power (or "positive racism").
How frequently do you test a new web framework with "10MB compressed JSONs"?

On the other hand you can find a lot of benchmarks that use basically Hello World just to test your request response or some rather small request/response sizes, because this is what most applications actually do. You can add a simple database query to it for more realistic load.

So, yes, this is more relatable to me as a backend developer because I can compare results more easily.
That’s not strictly true; some forms of capital allocation increase future productivity (and therefore future wealth) at a greater rate than others.
As I recall it he didn't so much "queue jump" as he used his private plane to travel to another state within a specific window of time from where he lived, which most people who lived outside of the transplant state couldn't do. So he was able to get on multiple transplant waiting lists.

For almost every fast food job, this is correct. The most important ability in fast food is typically availability.
The snark is unwarranted. The US has far more political, economic, and military power than any other country. Stands to reason that more is expected from them especially when "morality", "freedom", "rights", "doing the right thing" etc. seem to be the publicly stated cornerstones of most US initiatives. Do you think Denmark putting something on a blacklist will have anywhere near the same effect?

Also your question is rarely asked when the US is doing something... questionable but certainly to their advantage when the rest of the world didn't do. It seems unfair to bring up the "whatabout" argument only when you feel insulted especially since it's not a strong defense to begin with, it's even weaker in this particular case.

If you can do the right thing but decide to put your morals to sleep for as long as it's advantageous to you, then any positive spin (like protecting "the rules-based international order") is just a spin.
> Standups are intended to set a 'floor' for communication, but they often set a 'ceiling' instead. In my experience, the ‘daily’ standup becomes a benchmark for minimum acceptable communication. Show up for 15 minutes, and then it’s safe to hide for the rest of the day. This may or may not be a problem given the economics of the business in which a software team operates.

I'm actually OK with this, and this is how my team operates. We treat each other as adults, instead of witch hunting who did the least amount of work yesterday. Works fine for the team, things get done, minimal toil, zero churn.
It has more to do with supply and demand than cost of production (except for commodities). It's especially true for luxury goods (even robot made luxury goods) and experiences.
I know a lot of senior developers who were hired this way. I don't understand why that would make anyone feel ashamed.
Really awesome stuff to see them start mapping NYC more heavily.

Doesn't look like most people even bothered reading the article. They admit it has very little to do with trying to actually give rides or autonomously drive in the NYC area, but rather to map and get data on how the cars perform in different weather conditions.

Hopefully this announcement also means they are finding the testing in SF very useful and are accelerating their expansion

Well good news, that was done a long time ago to the point now where the hospitals are soo empty we can just fire people for not following the mandates...

I mean they would not fire nurses and doctors if they were critically needed would they?...

Sarcasm aside... from most reports I see in the US, the hospitals are filling up with non-covid people that delayed treatments to mass fear around covid, now all of the other every day illness is catching up to people. good job we did there with the fear propaganda
I sort of disagree. With social engineering, it could be easier to reset someone's password with a SIM swap than traditional means. For many years, PayPal refused to do true 2FA and I cringed at having to choose between no 2FA or SMS-based. Phone numbers are much easier to source through public records than many people realize. As someone who has had the same primary cell phone number since I was a teenager, I’m honestly shocked it isn’t in more places (I’ve taken great pains to limit it getting out, but I’m still shocked). That scares me enough to almost get a second number, but that’s such a pain in the ass and not a great solution.
I think he should follow that up with a thank you letter to a guy named Linus Torvalds.

I've seen countless examples of local businesses being far more interested in using social media and signage and interviews to whine and complain about "not being able to find help" than actually trying to find 'help'.

By refusing to fill positions they get to shout to the press and politicians about how lazy people just want to collect government checks, while also doing everything they can to keep wages from going up on these bottom-barrel jobs.

I think they're waiting people out. Business owners know they can coast temporarily while forcing their existing staff to work harder. People have bills to pay; contrary to popular belief, one cannot just sit on one's ass collecting unemployment indefinitely. Welfare in general is not easy to collect, at all. So all businesses have to do is not blink first...
