I've found it virtually impossible to find a sub organized around an intellectual topic or person that isn't virtually unreadable for anyone who knows anything about the topic.

The more specific and concrete (and smaller, above a certain minimum) the sub is, the better the content. Indeed the same - absent the size qualification - could be said of hacker news discussions.

I suspect it may have something to do with the tendency for those with little knowledge of a complex, abstract and highly nuanced subject to upvote or downvote based on some combination of popular bias and sentiment contrasted with the decreased likelihood of those with knowledge to do the same (because they know more, they are less confident in their opinion). Combined with the fact that invariably growth means more users in the former group joining than the latter.

More concrete subjects where comments can be based on specialized experience (rather than just knowledge) help individuals without that experience to exclude themselves from voting and those with to step in. That hn is based around such a concrete topic is what saves it (combined of course with the paid and highly skilled and dedicated moderation).

The primaries still only really allow people who have climbed the ranks in an existing party to get a shot, AFAICT. But I'm no expert.

I like the idea that the main parties have to capture the centre, and I really like that I can vote for something a bit out there, without the fear that my vote is effectively a vote for my least favourite big incumbent. The "You must vote Labour or the Tories win!" thing has always rubbed me up the wrong way, as someone who isn't especially fond of either of those options.

Without HN this book probably wouldn't have existed. In 2013 I wrote a blog post that received quite the attention here [0]. Because of that I got the idea to expand it into a book and it allowed me to convince O'Reilly to be the publisher. Also, many of the tools I cover in the book I first found out about here. So, thank you HN!

Yes! Tasks like AoC (relatively small, without stringent performance requirements but still requiring the correct algorithm) are where Python is not only a reasonable choice, it's unreasonably effective.

Doubly so this year, with the theme being linear algebra.

From the beginning there have been three options:

- containment/eradication (e.g. smallpox)

- infection until everyone gets it (kills a lot of people, and the natural immunity is not perfect especially against variants), has no defined "end"

- permanent management by individual measures / prophylaxis (e.g. AIDS)

If we're going for (2) then we should have started the health care worker training programme two years ago, because we're going to need a lot more both to cover burnout and the ongoing permanent increase in hospitalizations.
if your employer is so unhappy with you that, even when you’ve shown your skill, he’s unwilling to pay you a competitive amount then it’s clear you don’t really have a future at your current job

This is the crux of the problem - people assume that anyone going to their boss asking for a raise is underpaid. That isn't always true.

When someone goes and finds a new role on more money it's almost always at a higher level. People move upwards when they move on. Matching an offer usually means paying someone the salary for the higher level role to do the work of the lower level role.

If someone wants to move up a level to earn more I've always been happy to talk to them about that. That's not what we're talking about here though.
I use it all the time, I’m just not interested in magpie debates.
There's no knowledge job that doesn't rely on reference material. If a field is a knowledge field, the material cannot be anything but too big and detailed to remember the entirety of.

What you're hiring when you hire a doctor, lawyer, accountant, or software engineer is judgement. Either X is simple and don't worry about it, or this will have a simple solution and here it is, or this will take more investigation and let me look stuff up, or this is a specialist problem and I know who you need.

Of course it's often the case that the professional will just give you an answer, because there's certain bread and butter things that everyone asks about. But that shouldn't trick you into thinking they've memorized their whole field, you just haven't asked an interesting question.
I grew up using an IBM PCjr, and it's not flimsy at all---it is solid and well constructed (with the possible exception of the keyboard). I will grant you that it's marginal at being a PC, but it's not cheaply built.

Don't defrag SSD's it's nearly pointless and all it really is doing is lowering the lifetime of your drive.
What start to really annoy me is how it as become almost impossible to buy quality product anymore. And the issue is not even limited to Amazon.
Recently, at work, we had to make a bunch of RJ45 cables. So we bought some cable, terminals and a crimper and a tester. The crimper was so horrible, we add to cut and re-crimp new terminals 2-4 times before having a working cable. So we said fuck it, lets go buy another one. Turn out, all the shop around us had only cheap ones in store (<30€), we tried a few and had the same issue. To find a crimper that wasn't complete shit, we had to find a specialist store on the internet and it was retailing for more than a hundred euros.

And I keep stumbling upon the same issue when I want to buy tools, electronics and sports equipments: You only have a choice between very cheap stuff that will clearly not do the job or won't do it for long, or very expensive (sometimes overpriced) high-end equipment. There is almost no middle ground, no places for product who are not top notch quality with the latest technology, but will do a solid job if you don't need the latest and greatest. There is the second hand market, but it is a hit a miss, and not a reliable supplier either.

And if there is those "middle-ground" product, you often only find them in limited quantity in specialized store, often only on the internet.
Advantages of Rubber Products
Nowadays, rubber products are becoming more and more popular. The raw material of rubber products is mainly rubber. Because of their special characteristics and their advantages, they are used in many industries.

1.High and low temperature resistance, can be used for a long time at 200 ℃, and still elastic at -60 ℃.

2.Electrical insulation performance, the dielectric properties of rubber are very good, especially at high temperatures, the dielectric properties greatly exceed ordinary organic rubber, and the dielectric strength is hardly affected by temperature in the range of 20-200 ℃.

3.Excellent weather resistance, ozone resistance, and ultraviolet radiation resistance, no cracking after long-term outdoor use. It is generally believed that silicone rubber can be used outdoors for more than 20 years.

4.Excellent high-temperature compression permanent deformation.

5.Good processing performance, easy forming, and other advantages. Various products can be made by extrusion hot air vulcanization molding, die addition molding, extension molding and other methods. Because rubber products have excellent comprehensive performance and good technical and economic effects, they have several advantages in aviation, aerospace, atomic energy, electrical appliances, electronic rubber, and rubber products. Instruments, automobiles, machinery, metallurgy, chemicals, medical and health, and daily life Widely used in the field.

"Did you read the all of the OP's post?"

Yes and he clearly indicated he's lying about issues.

There's likely a major gap between what the company wants/thinks he is doing, and what he is actually doing, and this is facilitated by his misdirection (i.e. admitted lying), and probably the political incompetence of the situation overall.

One one hand - it's fraudulent to misrepresent your work.

On the other hard - it's still fraudulent even if the company is not able to properly assess the work.

I agree that it's likely not some kind of legal issue - that's not the point really, but it's still a form of fraud.

If you agree to provide a service and due to your customers inherent trust, and their inability to do proper oversight, you still need to provide that service.

But what is offensive is the Peanut Galleries Commenters acceptance of a person who is admittedly lying and misrepresenting themselves as somehow 'not a problem'.

It's shameful for someone to lie, misrepresent and take advantage of another group.

What is 'warped' is this bizarre gaslighting of the employer for somehow 'being corrupt' because they are being lied to by an employee?

In what upside down universe does an employee lying about their work make the employer corrupt?

"the real issue here is that salaried employees are almost never compensated in proportion to actual value that they generate"

That's mostly separate question.

"A flat rate arrangement, assuming no significant bonuses, results in a zero-sum game with diametrically opposed incentives for the two parties. T"

This is wrong, 90% of the world is paid for their time, that doesn't make incentives 'opposed'. They are aligned, just maybe not perfectly.

"The incentives become perfectly aligned if the pay is based on some objective measure of generated value. Moreover, I would would argue that it would be fairly straightforward to come up with a logical metric for every single position within a company that generates revenue. "

I'm going to gather you're new to this, and have never hired people, set salaries or worked on a large team?

The situation that the OP is in is common - precisely because measuring value and oversight is actually really hard, especially in software.

It's a bit glib to suggest that somone could come up with some magic metric relate to profit that aligned incentive, it's the Holy Grail of HR. There's too much ambiguity in the system.

"TL;DR - Don't hate the player, hate the game. "

Players that cheat, either employers or employees should be called out.

Having some reasonable degree of professional standards, which include trust (on all sides), is what makes the system work, along with intelligent management and oversight etc..

I’ve worked with a genuine 0.1x developer. Not only were they unproductive (which is fine if you are new or inexperienced in an area), but they actually reduced the productivity of others in the team.
I think sometimes this was deliberate as a plan to get the team reassigned.

Nah, I was straight out of uni so taken on as a junior by the company and then given a raise as they didn't consider me junior after having me work there for 8 months or so. The union is probably involved in standard pay levels, but not much more than that.
I don't know about Norway, but in France it is weighted at 7% of the inflation calculation, which is way below what people actually pay for housing. In theory, it is because housing is considered an investment, but in practice it doesn't seem to hold up and is critized by some economists. I also find it very strange.

Obviously you want to consolidate fragments. But especially for HDDs there's different tradeoff of placing stuff near the outside compared to towards the center, which also depends on workload ie streaming vs random access, heavy read/write vs mostly read-only.

With PerfectDisk[1] you can decide how you wanted the disk laid out. And it did make a measurable difference in the cases I tested.

For SSDs fragmentation is less of an issue, but it's not completely gone. Especially on Windows with NTFS, where one can run into issues with heavily fragmented files[2][3].

We actually have this very issue with a client in production these days, due to the DB log file causing heavy fragmentation.

Anything corporate software is a no go on my personal devices. I like to draw a clear line between work and personal life.

I feel much the same way. I do some difficult stuff, but the stuff done by some other people is simply much more impressive. But I feel as if I've learned to be happy in humility. Why? Because the activities of multiple people are much harder to separate than it might initially seem. The person who does impressive work in some domain may only be able to focus to that extent because their home is being tidied by someone else, and their clothes washed by someone else, and their meals prepared by someone else, and so on. A lot of people think of those types of jobs as lowly, but how can they be lowly if they were key ingredients of the work we regard as more important? Do you see what I mean about difficulty of neatly separating the efforts?

I've done seemingly millions of projects. Sometimes I'm actually writing programs that most other people couldn't make. But lots of the time I'm not doing anything that requires smarts, but simply putting my heart in it and helping things get done, whatever those things are. If the dishes need washed, I do that. If the floor needs sweeping, I do that. If somebody has a question, I try to answer. I try to be encouraging. Meanwhile, the work I might regard as the real work is being done by people who have skills I lack. But I am doing what I can. I am finding where I can fit in and be useful. I am finding suitable roles in a vast interconnected system.

Most of the time it seems more likely that we'll be von Neumann's butler than von Neumann. This is OK. Just do what you can. Be kind, be helpful. Try never to be a drag on any project that's worthwhile. It's about the combined efforts of many, not individual heroes.

Search for "Project managment". There is "Product management" which sounds similar but it's a bit different: project manager talks with developers and manages task complition while product manager talks to product owner(and other business people) and team lead and manages product money making and overall future strategy.

RBI(Central bank) has been filling-up for a long time for the total lack of security practices by merchants & data-privacy laws.

e.g. One can control how much money can be withdrawn from the credit/debit card per-day according to domestic/International merchants/online/physical/ATM/ etc. through net-banking with the minimum in the multiples of INR 1000. So even if the card data gets stolen, Criminals can utmost withdraw only the minimum amount in the other part of the world.

But unfortunately due to the digital-divide, Not many have access or awareness of such facilities and hence control over card data is required.

IMO the single point of failure for India's financial security is its extraordinary dependence on mobile number for 2FA, Even security conscious customers can do little against SIM jacking attacks, But for those who are not security conscious; all it requires is a social engineered SMS with ngrok URL[1] or Phone call asking for that OTP.

Please write to RBI and demand your bank to support hardware tokens (or) at least TOTP.

He think if he keeps doubling down all this can be set right.

Possibly, but it seems like a dangerous gamble. He could spend millions in resources and there very well (or even very likely) will be nothing recovered. Also, what are the odds that the magnetic media could survive yearly weathering like this for ~ a decade (not to mention pressure of junk and bulldozers up top)?
This is where a "funnel" approach can be useful. E.g. you want to measure people on their way to feature X, so you measure the steps before feature X too and see how far down the funnel people get.

When you start to see people going in loops or doing the same things over and over but not quite reaching the destination, then you know you have UX issues.

Of course this is good only for "near misses" - you may have users who don't even know where to start - that is harder to identify.

If you are a freelancer then your contract should allow you to do work for others. In which case, your response to this client has to be "Sorry, but my business laptop potentially has data from other clients on it. I can't let you install this monitoring agent without violating my contractual confidentially agreement with those other clients. I always maintain client confidentiality and will do the same for you. If you want to ship me a dedicated laptop for your engagement, I would be happy to install whatever you want on it."

I know people who work for Fortune 500 companies who don't have such crap installed in their company laptops, and they mainly work remotely. I also work remotely and I dont have such thing installed either.

Installing agents is a sign that the company doesn't value trust with their employees and treats them as liabilities. Companies that made me an offer who had asked me if I would have an issue installing an agent just got rejected from my employer list. If they don't trust me doing my job why should I trust them doing their job. Why not install an agent to the CEO's computer as well? After all I should trust him that he's doing his job well enough for us not to lose our jobs. I'm also dependant on him after all. These are all relationships where trust plays a major role.

After all, if you think an employee isn't performing you can just have an annual PDR (Performance and Development Review) and figure out if you have to get rid of that employee or talk to him. Why spy on all of employees? Agents are just an excuse, not the means. It's a disgusting in my opinion excuse to spy on everyone.

Whatever the case or how common this is, I won't ever accept agents to spy on me. You do you but I think everyone should do the same. I demand your respect to be mutual to my and your privacy and sense of trust. Agents are harming the remote development space and skew the perception of what it means to have a healthy team.
