That's more or less what FogCreek did with Trello and CoPilot. While FogBugz was "good enough" to more or less run on rails, they made other bets to expand or productize some of their internal toolkit. It worked so well that these side-bets eventually got much bigger than FogBugz.

I wish more people tried that, instead of messing with their cash-cows. Yes, sometimes you have to keep up with competition or "innovate" in your own space, but if you got big already, chances are that you've done your best work already - leave it as it is and move on.
"On Nov. 22, Life360 also announced plans to buy Tile, a tracking device company that helps find lost items. Hulls said the company doesn’t have plans to sell data from Tile devices."

I thought this sounded familiar. Combined with the acquisition of Fitbit by Google, for IoT devices you should therefore not only consider the current owner and its policies, but also future ownership?

This will make it even harder for me to buy anything from an IoT startup.
The downside to this technique is that wasm2c code is 50% slower, so (at least for now) process-isolation is still a win in some cases (when the overhead of process-isolation is small compared to the rest).

Still, that's a very exciting development that could lead to a revolution in operating systems.
Many of these projects are funded by sponsors that couldn’t exist without internet ads.

Last place I worked tried to do SAFe (I think? They kept repeating it and had all the branding on the presentations). To me it seemed like the idea was to replace a dedicated project manager (or team of them) with a week-long meetingfest every 8 weeks where all the different teams tried to self-organize based on what the business' objectives were.

Apart from the colossal waste of time of those week-long "PI-planning" meetings, it was OK I guess...
This is good feedback on the stratechery article we're discussing here, which makes the 53-foot point.

However, your quote seems to suggest they are _not_ currently used on ships? It says APL used 53-foot containers between 2007 and 2013, no?

But sure, Amazon could be creating their own custom ship configurations, as the OP points out too, OP just said standard container ships and infrastructure for loading/unloading and dealing with them (and standardization is of course the point of containers) aren't set up to take 53-foot containers.
I'm simply claiming that your blanket statement is false - there are good reasons why some people would use it every day, and for whom the good effects outweigh any bad effects.

In terms of bad effects, it's not as simple as "yes" or "no"; it's more about how much you use, as well as how often. For example, I use 10mg/THC oil at night, and vape up to 0.2g in the evening - the only adverse effect I have is some acid reflux from the oil, which is easily dealt with.
I have a xiaomi air purifier with AQ detector. Scrubber seems to to help with allergies. Detector itself is pretty much a glorified smoke detector Tamagotchi toy for me. I haven't found much use for it other than to keep numbers as low / nominal as I can. For which living in a pretty clean part of the city with good air quality means being more mindful when I cook to reduce smoke. That said the high AQ alarm has saved me a couple times from leaving stove top on / burning pots. Kind of paid for itself in that sense.

RCT study: food emulsifier carboxymethylcellulose detrimentally changes the gut
You're not wrong; but I meant it quite literally, as in, it was being stolen from vets and thrown into incredibly shitty hash.
No, in fact, you want to go lower order with lower precision. The real answer is that if the solution is in the chaotic regime then maybe Float16 is fine because you'll be dominated by other numerical errors anyways (if you're also making sure you have adequate conservation so the solution doesn't explode in some way), but if you're not in the chaotic regime then even Float32 is pushing it in many cases (i.e. it better be non-stiff as stiffness pretty much guernetees operations which span beyond Float32 relative epsilon). So it's a case-dependent topic and not something that has an easy answer, though the case for Float16 is rather small.

(We had some small tests generating TPU ODE solver code from Julia and showcased some rather bizarre stuff back when Keno was working on it, but never wrote a post summarizing all of it)

Just to echo, I experienced the same symptoms and it was largely relieved by getting mild prescription "computer glasses".

Over the next two years, I was able to better correlate these symptoms with sleep deprivation, as well. Lack of glasses exaggerates fatigue, but fatigue onset is much more aggressive when I don't sleep enough.

I'd venture a guess that exceptions might be the "least bad" here, and things like "a + b" resulting in "a. plus(b)" is considered worse.

At any rate they seem to want jumps/calls to be visible/obvious.

The War on Drugs was started by Nixon as a tool to silence those he considered his enemies, e.g., hippies and people of color:

"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people," Ehrlichman told journalist Dan Baum in 1994. "You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or blacks, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities."
Great to see another reader out in the wild. Mainstream optometry just making the problem worse to keep you as a customer instead of curing you is the same sort of issue that happens in so many industries from orthodontics to nutrition.

But this is the goal, and it works. The people who own the media don't want wages to go up. Lobbyists, anti-union groups, etc...it's much easier to get 2 lower income people mad at each other than to justify their own income to them. Outrage and anger is an easy sell and unfortunately that's what the 24/7 for-profit news cycle is.

Thanks. I don't think that person actually read the study, they just wanted to slap some things onto their bias to prove their point - as I said.

That study tested the effects of withdrawal within long-term users, and the cognitive impairment resulting from that, over 28 days of abstinence.

From the conclusion:

> It is unclear whether these deficits might be attributable to a residue of
cannabinoids in the central nervous system or to withdrawal effects from abruptly stopping cannabis, although both factors likely contribute. In any event, our data suggest that these deficits are largely or completely reversible after 28 days of abstinence.

So, this study found no evidence long-term permanent cognitive impairment, which does nothing to prove the point the person who posted it was trying to make.
Sure, but are those increases proportional?

I don't mind playing an extra 50 cents for a big mac if it means the person serving it to me makes enough at the end of the day to support themselves.
'The Beatles: Get Back' shows that deepfake tech isn't always evil
I’ve thought about this too. Each image in a chain of altered images could be cryptographically signed / verified, that makes sense. The hardest part seems like verifying the original “straight out of camera” video/photo, maybe hardware manufacturers implement a way to prove the output is original?
I feel like that one (UI elements going away) is also a case of evolution in UX and how we interact with apps. The best example there is when Apple moved from skeuomorphic design (which is also the first time that word became well known) to flat (?) design.

They realized that they were at a point now where users were used to e.g. buttons not looking like buttons, expecting to be able to swipe or scroll without a clear 'you can swipe / scroll here' indicator, so they did away with a lot of those things to be able to put more things on the screen (without cluttering it).
What if this something did not need installation? Just download and run.
Our financial system rewards growth. There is little incentive to keep good tools static. It goes beyond the tug of capital, even GDP increases with such churn, whether the work is useful or not.
It's not a misconception, it's the way it is, including in the paper that has been quoted in this thread.

For instance, "Step 2: document the design" advocates extensive documentation upfront.

Of course there is feedback but the loop is very large and slow, and the paper emphasises that feedback ought "to be confined to sucessive steps", which, in addition is problematic when requirements change mid-way.

Agile is trying to solve a real issue with the waterfall model in general and, especially, when requirements are fluid.
Update: 3 hours after posting and being on the hacker news front page:

Automated email out of the blue: "We’re pleased to let you know that we’ve recently reviewed your YouTube account, and after taking another look, we can confirm that it is not in violation of our Terms of Service. We have lifted the suspension of your account, and it is once again active and operational."

Thanks hacker news for voting this up and clearly triggering something within the GooglePlex. Still a big -1 for Google/YouTube that their normal processes are completely broken.
Great idea, thank you.

Haha ok that sounded like I'm a out to run off and clone it, no I'm a out to upload a few boards, because you know you can double dip just like the dating sites putting multiple different audiences in front of the same back end, and make a seemingly totally different, differently marketed site where you show off your designs and get likes and a place to humble brag and stuff, and you know that's what I want, since you know I'm definitely only posting boards I already think are jewels. :)
Have you considered that people are more productive when they are working together? This higher productivity is what allows for rent to be high (the land is more productive), but that does not necessarily imply that the increased productivity should go into the hands of people who merely hold land and are not themselves producing anything on it.

Very brief summary: five whys techniques pretend complex systems are governed by simple chains of events, where each event undisputably causes the next and there's an objective "root cause" that sets the entire chain off.

In reality, complex systems are driven by networks of causal effects, where some form reinforcing and balancing feedback loops. There's no start or end to a causal pathway, there's just where we choose to look and what we choose to ignore. There is no root cause, there is a myriad of interlocking factors that together dynamically drive the system in certain directions.

Five whys type analyses tend to end up blaming whatever is convenient or culturally acceptable to blame, and leaves many branches of the causal network underexplored.

Five whys is easy to explain and humans love the narrative point of view promoted by a chain of events, but it's a very inefficient way to explore the causal structure of a system.

One good thing about the old (?) model of installing software on your pc rather than subscribing to software was you could just keep using the version you liked as long as you liked. You might eventually face an upgrade that offered a bug fix or a new feature you really wanted, but the hard choice was in your hands.

If you wanted to move slowly (or not at all), at least you had the option.

There's still people writing books on WordStar. People still running small businesses on 1990s era Peachtree Accounting on DOS. Maybe they'd benefit from new software, but honestly probably not all that much from their viewpoint.
I think it was a conscious design decision to reduce false alarm rate. Assuming that this low cost device can be/become very inaccurate, then the designers had two choices:

1) Report all alarms as detected. Eventually, the device becomes a red LED which users learn to ignore.

2) Report a problem when the device is reasonably sure there is a problem. Green light does not necessarily mean that the air quality is good, but when the LED becomes red, it should be taken seriously.
That seems totally fair. It’s just that graphing technology progress on a plot might be an impossible task. Plus, once I’ve seen two bunk graphs in a row, now I start to suspect something about the core idea might be BS. It would interesting to see a truly plausible and convincing plot.

To show technology progress accurately and fairly, we need to include all developments, right? And we need to understand and show the precursor inventions that lead to another -- there is no technology that wasn’t born from other technology. The integrated circuit came after the transistor, which came after the vacuum tube, which came after a series of mechanical calculators. Would we have to weight the difficulty of each invention in the context of it’s technological surrounding, and the lasting impact of each invention? What should the Y-axis of the graph be?

There’s no question that human technology had a pretty big bump in the rate of progress since the printing press. There’s no denying how much our world has changed in the last hundred years, and even in my own lifetime. Cars and the internet have changed the fact of this planet, for better or worse. But is “progress”, meaning new inventions, really exponential? Seems unlikely. Is it leading to a “singularity”? Sounds like fantasy to me.

One fear I have, one thing that’s hard to see right now, is whether the invention of software has slowed down all the rest of physics and mechanics and materials progress. Software is so cheap and easy compared to anything else, that’s what most people working in technology do. It’s a bit difficult to demonstrate the progress of technology with software - what exactly is being invented. There has been some, no doubt, but YouTube and Facebook are indicators of technology scale, not indicators of technology progress, which are somewhat (but not completely) separate things. It is clear that the technology of microchips and software has just scaled from small to global. It’s not at all clear that this recent trend will continue, once everyone has a phone and internet and a self-driving car. The number of people and physical resources put a natural cap on scale. Hitting the end of Moore’s law is also changing the rate of scale as we speak.

I work at a startup that had a similar clause. During hiring, I asked them to add some language that it was specific only to work that is competing in nature with the core business. CEO was happy to oblige. No issues with me doing side projects so far. It has been 4+ years. Big companies probably suck harder though.
For technical reasons adding compiler flags to do that is fairly hard. You'd need to handle a lot of things like compiling to the sandboxed format, system library support, the FFI to normal code, etc. It would be possible to do all that, but wasm has already done it - so compiling to wasm as an intermediary step is the most practical solution.

If you assume that minimum waged employees would spend 100% of their raise on rent then landlords would swallow the surplus but more likely the workers would spread it around. They do have other costs.

I havent seen a study that connects the two. A quick google suggests a fair number of business-centric publications spreading FUD about it though.

This article suggests it was connected to lower business rents: https://anderson-review.ucla.edu/a-15-minimum-wage-may-have-...

(The mechanism being that restaurants pass on the cost of their higher wages to their landlords)
Yep. Stuff like this is the reason that I moved from the technical side into management about 4 years ago. Seeing the dangers to my team from managers who don’t understand the challenges and constraints became a situation that I couldn’t take anymore.

Now, since going that route I’ve gotten deep into SAFe (Scaled Agile) because I believe that it truly solves so many problems. SAFe recommends using “5 whys” in certain situation and SAFe itself isn’t without valid criticisms either. IMO it’s still by far the best option for a long list of reasons.

Like anything in the wrong hands though, it can be co-opted. Everything revolves around good leadership.
If anyone is looking for the alternative to Ubiquiti since their fall from grace in recent years, I've found it to be HP Aruba. I always use more open source stuff for personal projects, but Aruba Instant On is what I commonly recommend/integrate for other people, whereas it used to be Ubiquiti. Solid design across hardware and software. It finds that unique balance in quality/usability between cheap/unreliable, and overcomplicated enterprise.
Perhaps a balanced approach would be to have a Youtube channel that 100% complies with their algorithms Im half kidding, nobody really know what this is and then your own CDN distributed videos. Mention towards the end of your videos where to find more detailed content and avoid words like uncensored, raw uncut as I am sure the YTBots will see that as evasion. I see some of the more popular youtubers doing this and it appears to be working for them. They still get monetization, audience and ad-revenue leaving their uncensored discussions elsewhere so that YTBots need not concern themselves.

Anyway, you'd be surprised. Once you venture outside the HN echo chamber there are large numbers of people who really prefer that their data stay on their own PC. Also, many are concerned about the same problem that this topic is about: having interfaces change without warning is a huge problem for most people.

Convincing them is largely about providing an upgrade path if they need it and not having forced upgrades.
Imagine you, as a full time content producer, have been banned from YouTube for good, just because. Your appeal ended up the same way as for OP "response within less than 15 minutes that they appeal has been rejected and that no further replies will be processed". Would you want the government involvement in this case?
FWIW, this paper is being presented at NeurIPS this week.
Show HN: GitHub Trends – Discover and share code contribution insights
Hello there!

I created GitHub Trends for developers to discover and share code contribution insights. Inspired by Spotify Wrapped, GitHub Trends has a "wrapped" feature that allows users to look back on a year of development and growth. See your repositories and languages sorted by lines of code, your activity grouped by time and day, and more!

Happy to clarify anything in the comments!
How does the government do it better? And why is it the government business to step in?
CAS is a massive pain in the ass for complex changes. Lenses are a way to point to part of the object which can in theory make it less painful as you can redo a change without redoing the work to setup the change necessarily. Growing just refers to growing a codebase using them by adding them is all.

I am not against FP I think the point of "it is good if you can fix performance" is very accurate. I just think it is also important to acknowledge that the paradigm can be more complex in situations where it is supposed to help leading to a mixed bag.

Similar to distributed databases. Your database can now be phenomenally powerful but you can't do a stored proc anymore without losing that power.

It can be a very effective and totally worth it but it isn't a pure win necessarily.
one such example is the quote "an eye for an eye".

Today this sounds as condoning revenge or vigilantism, as opposed to forgiveness.

But in its historical context, it was in fact the opposite, since the norm at the time used to be to engage in vastly unequal retaliation (e.g. "your entire family for an eye").

I have experience with O'Sullivan, IKEA, and fine furniture like Stickley. You can't sand or paint sawdust when it crumbles. If it gets wet, it's ruined. Fine furniture often appreciates in value, while pressed dust doesn't, falls apart when disassembled, and cannot be economically repaired.
