Accounting for the use of Jira is easy: known quantity and name recognition. A better question is "With so many unhappy customers, how do we still account for the continued use of Jira as an org matures?" It's the same answer but with the additional caveat that learning a new tool that's so fundamental is disruptive. I consult and advise multiple orgs and have done so for years. I don't often encounter heavy supporters of atlassian products, despite the number of users. Jira is one of those things that flies in the face of most UX logic in that it doesn't appear to lose market share, no matter how much slower, unreliable, inflexible and generally unliked it is. It seems that once a founder has grabbed the first thing off the shelf, you're stuck.

Full disclosure: I have no competitive interests in this space, I just hate garbage tools. (Apologies to my actual friends who work at atlassian. Your software is terrible.)
It is fairly easy to understand the hostile reaction to this.

This guy did exactly what he said and something many, if not most, of the people who comment on HN would have the means to do (take some time off, live frugally on savings, attempt something he had passion for). His success was by no means guaranteed but he had the guts to take the risk and make it work. And as he said if worse comes to worst, he can always go back to his old career/job (which is likely true of everyone here).

Most people are not risk-takers and are mainly status-seekers. They live their lives in ways to reflect this and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But there is always the niggling feeling for many (I am one) that while I may be making the "smart" choice the real reason I don't do something like this is that I am afraid. I don't like having that pointed out, and so react with hostility.

This isn't to say the path taken by this author is for everyone (especially those with dependents etc), but for many it grates that it would be something they could easily do if only they had the guts. It is also quite telling to see how many of the biggest successes of Tech did something similar to what this guy is saying (Elon Musk as mentioned, Jeff Bezos quitting his finance job, Mark Zuckerberg dropping out of Harvard, Sergey Brin/Larry Page abandoned their PHDs, etc).

TL;DR: People don't like being told that their "smart" life choices are as much made out of fear of failure and status-seeking as from calibrated decision-making.

P.S. To anyone reading, none of the above is a personal attack on you or your circumstances. Everyone is different, everyone's story is different, everyone's circumstances are different. But this is still a valuable piece imo as there are plenty of us out there who could quite easily do what is mentioned and probably benefit from the experience but don't due to fear or just following a comfortable groove.
Here's an example PR from a few days ago where someone contributed an improvement to the type definitions Sorbet maintains for the standard library:

https://github.com/sorbet/sorbet/pull/5024

By adding those type definitions, any downstream projects using Sorbet that happened to use those definitions incorrectly will start to see new type errors.

Here's another example:

https://sorbet.run/#%23%20typed%3A%20true%0Aextend%20T%3A%3A...

This example shows a bug in how Sorbet handles shape types, that we definitely want to fix in the future but haven't had the time to yet. When we fix that, any project using shape types incorrectly will suddenly have new type errors.
>If you have any experience with US gun laws, you know exactly how this works.

Not in California. It is illegal for California residents to import firearms from other states. They must be imported through a licensed California gun dealer (FFL), and the specific make/model must be California legal.
I don't have meltdowns either but I do get unreasonably upset about stuff that seems illogical to me.
Or maybe it is still a fact, but the definition of autism/Asperger changed so it is no longer true with the new definition?

There seems to be a great bundling going on, where people with a wide range of various problems gets bundled under large umbrella terms like "ADHD" or "Autism". Before Autism and Asperger was different, now they are the same etc. and some even argue that ADHD and Autism are the same thing.

Edit: Btw, there was one stereotype that was never true, that Autists didn't have empathy. Autists always felt empathy. What they were said to lack was the ability to read people, not feel empathy for people. Not being able to read people can be said to reduce "a person's ability to relate emotionally and socially to themselves and others", so that statement wasn't wrong with the old definition/understanding.
> Not having a clue about what a candidate formerly earned means risk for the employer

It really doesn't. An employee brings their employer some amount of value. The exact amount of value is completely unrelated to that employee's salary at their previous jobs.

The _only_ "risk" here is that the employer might not be able to lowball the candidate as much as they possibly could.
The best available evidence indicates that another coronavirus HCoV-OC43 probably caused a worldwide pandemic and killed a lot of people starting in 1889. The same virus is still endemic today and the only reason it doesn't take a huge death toll is that most of us get infected when we're young and the resulting natural immunity protects us as we age. But it and other endemic coronaviruses can still be quite deadly to frail and immunocompromised patients.

We know from the past what is possible.

"Thousands of truffle-producing trees were planted, and production reached peaks of hundreds of tonnes at the end of the 19th century. In 1890, 75,000 hectares (190,000 acres) of truffle-producing trees had been planted."

Flutter has two choices on iOS:

1. Be the change and make a framework that helps people create new and better toolchains for making iOS apps. It's more work, and requires taking the challenging path sometimes, but it's the better play for the long-term success of the community.

2. Use existing solutions that are locked in Apple's ecosystem, thereby railroading the community so that they too are locked in to Apple's ecosystem.

Why Apple's ecosystem worries me: Apple has shown time and time again that they will do the absolute minimum required to get people in the door before shutting it behind them. If someone else tills the soil and grows an orchard of delicious fruit that's reasonably priced and good for you, Apple will spend millions to fly in fruit trees with fruit that's almost as good and put a 'free with contract' sign up. What they don't mention is that they have no intention of watering the trees once the "competition" goes out of business.

As far as I'm aware, exactly one person has survived that treatment, and she never fully recovered. A low success rate indeed.
I like kicking quantum computing, especially when products tout resistance to it as if the technology is about to become practical, but error correction with a constant complexity could bring the problem to the realm of theoretically surmountable.

I had no idea about the c^3 conjencture and how the optimal way to create a classical error correcting code was found not long ago.

What? "Answer this question or I'm not hiring you." (as long as the question is not one of a lawfully prohibited class of questions) is not coercion it's negotiation. By your reasoning if I went into an interview and flat refused to answer any question they would, what, be forced to hire me? This whole conceptualization is broken.
So "Autistic" is capitalized now?

First names of elements started being capitalized. Then there was the "Black" thing, followed by the "White" thing. We seem to be headed back to the 1700s, when Important Words were capitalized.
You are incorrect, but I understand your skepticism.

You can check out by finding more about Dawkins-Wilson debates and all graduate level evolutionary biology textbooks. Wilson group selection theory does not add anything to inclusive fitness.

> Although most social evolutionary biologists use the individual selection
perspective derived from kin selection theory, David Sloan Wilson and others have complained that the preference for kin selection theory stems from
prejudice against the rejected Wynne-Edwardsian version of group selection (Wilson and Wilson 2007). But as Stuart West and his colleagues have
pointed out, kin selection theory is widely accepted primarily because it has
helped so many researchers develop testable hypotheses for puzzling social
behaviors exhibited by creatures as different as termites, bacteria, amoebae,
and humans (West et al. 2011). Nonetheless, other researchers have continued to attack kin selection theory. For example, Martin Nowak, Corina Tarnita, and E. O. Wilson claimed that kin selection theory should be discarded
altogether in favor of an alternative mathematical approach (Nowak et al.
2011). Yet few researchers agree with this idea, for reasons spelled out by
Andrew Bourke (Bourke 2011a) and a team led by David Queller (Liao et al.
2015), as well as those outlined by more than 100 behavioral biologists in a
response to Nowak and his colleagues’ paper (Abbot et al. 2011). Thus, inclusive fitness theory continues to be a guiding framework for understanding
cooperation, altruism, and the evolution of sociality more broadly, primarily
because it produces clear, testable hypotheses, something that the concept
of group selection largely fails to do.

The latest paper there is from 2009 which is before the popularity rise of deep learning, before the creation of key methods of modern deep learning, and before the creation of most key datasets on which we would nowadays evaluate and compare the advantages and drawbacks of different methods.

Literally nothing in that repository makes an argument that this method is better than deep learning in any aspect whatsoever, they don't even attempt such a comparison.

Crypto has gone through what, three or four cycles now and every time the floor gets higher and the ceiling gets higher. The number of applications expands. The transaction volume increases. The liquidity increases. The stable coin value increases (now over $100B). The integrations increase. The startups founded on crypto increase. And the criticisms look less and less sane.

Jetbrains IDEs have this "heap is too small" message though.
I've been to the Machanents House, it's run by a wonderful family. It was at night so I doubt they were using the solar powered stove, the food was great regardless. Excellent hospitality, the two eldest daughters sang beautiful folk songs while Grigor (mentioned in the article) was cracking jokes and making toasts all night long. He kept giving me shit for not making eye contact while shouting "kenatz!" (cheers). Highly recommended experience.
I’ve played twice now and had trouble. Today I had to resort to “cheating” using a scrabble word search site. Because I didn’t know that was allowed/possibly required.

I witnessed this on a trip to Vietnam 15 years ago, the rural kids had a life of leisure but much less material wealth. The city kids (or farm kids moved to the city) worked for more but had cell phones and scooters (cars in the west), they could ride their scooter to the KFC.
Comparing a dude who quit their job to court a woman and lift weights while living off of their friends income to the plight of blacks in America or European Jews is quite something.
Why would I want people to know how much money I make.
This seems rather obvious to me, but glad it's being directly said (I have made a habit of studying biases for the last couple of years).

Emotion is a known irrational effect on decision making, autism is often associated with the lack of emotion in certain contexts (or inability to understand the emotion). Having less of the thing that makes you irrational would make you more rational by default.

Similar to Charlie's Munger devotion in life isn't to be smart, it's to figure out how to not be dumb. How can you not be irrational? Don't let emotion impact your decision making.

* To be clear, I'm not saying those on the spectrum don't have emotions (they do), though in my experience it comes across quite differently. It feels more like "another factor to be analyzed", which can easily be disregarded in some contexts, than an "invisible hand" behind the scenes influencing decisions.
I think op is referring to the article, which uses "Autistic" no matter sentence position. Strangely, they use "non-autistic", though I'm unsure of any hardcore style rules about this
> There are a ton of people living under extremely corrupt and dysfunctional financial systems

Those aren't the people using crypto, though. And to the extent that people are using crypto as alternative to their local currency, they're almost all using it for some form of laundering (e.g. wealth extraction from the PRC).

Objectively, crypto has been far more volatile than fiat currencies as a whole, not less. BTC is literally down 16% over the last three weeks! If you want stability just buy a bunch of diverse money market or national bond securities; that strategy survived the great depression and WW2, it can surely handle a pandemic recovery.
Anytime the other party says "or else" it's just a negotiating tactic to see if you're gonna fold.

Forced? Of course not. They're not holding a gun on you, and you're not holding a gun on them.
Yeah.

Breaking things out of malice is bad sabotage.

Speaking the painful truths to your coworkers and higher ups can be very productive 'sabotage': you don't have to worry about job security anymore so you can say things that need to be said but others are afraid to.
Iirc the primary restaurant involved in pizzagate never had a basement...

Then again, I suppose one (conspiracy theorist) could say that it's been cemented closed, and the floor plans for the building were fabricated from the start or something.
Yeah, I'm with you. I was effectively a solo dev for a few years and definitely had a "grass is greener" mentality so I joined a team. I quickly realized the grass was not greener.

I think my ideal is working on a project solo, but still having other folks (doing other projects) to bounce ideas off of.

Raspberry Pi Stock
The Raspberry Pi 4, Raspberry Pi 4 Compute, Raspberry Pi 3B+, Raspberry Pi Zero (and most of the rest are obsoleted) are all out of stock on alibaba. I couldn't find a source anywhere.

Searching on ebay you find people selling Raspberry Pis at substantial markups.

I'm not really quite sure how much detail is needed to make that newsworthy, or if this was already obvious and known to people, but it seems worth mentioning. Digikey had 52 week lead times, but that could have just been some default.

I wonder how much this supply chain difficulty will result in people designing their own computers rather than relying on integrating something like an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi due to being able to repair and substitute things more easily if they're lower level.
"If something is to replace humans at doing a job X then it has to be better than the humans at job X." Only if the something is supposed to replace ALL the humans doing X. The idea of using bots was good; let them handle the easy questions, and humans handle the hard ones, therefore fewer humans required. The implementation, not so good in many cases...

they got good results, but only in highly controlled, short duration testing. they're near the deep blue point, but still far from the era where humans are convincingly and resoundingly beaten.

Surely, the mission of "looking good on twitter" is as noble as any. They probably have enough money from Google anyway, why would they need any other?
Nah, they're not invisible. They provide a wide range of anti-features that are visible. TPM, DRM, AMT, stuff like that. Of course, the scariest parts are the ones that are invisible, and I have no idea if the BIOS flag disables everything, or just the parts you can see.
Just my opinion, but look into the "Overparameterized machine learning" community[0]. If you are interested in the theory, this gets at what is fundamentally different about deep learning.

I may be reading too deeply into your question and you don't actually mean that theoretical. For something lighter, I'd suggest studying some of the common model architectures in the area you're interested in (like you can look at the pytorch lightning or torchvision or detectron2 models or etc source code) and understanding why things are the way they are.

Here's the CTO reply later on in this conversation.

> Plaid CTO here. We’ve worked closely w/ FIs to move towards standards like OAuth & App2App to remove the use of credentials. A vast majority of our traffic is already going through these APIs today and we're working with more and more banks to enable OAuth.

Plaid is contracted by Venmo (and many others) to provide a bank-agnostic API to Venmo, and either uses credentials or token-based or app-based methods depending on how competent the bank is. Apparently Simon's bank only offers the credentials method.
Can someone explain how this fits into .rbs files? Would sorbet support adding/reading types as part of .rbs files in the future.

This is a legit researcher, but the article is mostly a "why mine is better" without justification. There must be something better to read on this.

The performance problem with deep learning is well known. Great results up to 90%+ of the time, totally bogus a few percent of the time. Great for ad targeting. Automatic driving, not so much. If somebody got past that, it's important.
I've encountered companies with such agreements. They still do it, they just don't make it obvious.

Cartels like that are unstable, because each party has a massive incentive to cheat on it, and the advantage accrues to you.
When I want to run a containerized service I just look for the dockerhub image or github repo that requires the least effort to get running. In these cases is it very common to write dockerfiles and try to optimize them?
1) Schedule a meeting with your manager and ask for a mentor. Tell them what their manager said and say that you want to do the best work you can do if they could get a good mentor, you will work hard to meet future expectations.

2) email your manager’s manager and thank them for their point of view. Tell them that you have taken it to heart and tell them the actions you are taking, namely getting a mentor to help guide you.

Don’t make excuses. Just tell them both you want to do the best job possible and want to learn.

Doing this without making excuses or sounding butt hurt because your feelings were hurt will elevate you in their eyes.

And you should move on and stop feeling butt hurt. Accept it, get the mentorship and learn. In the end it’s not a big deal but it’s a good opportunity to act the way professionals act and getting mentorship will help.
I guess I could say I skimmed most of it, and zeroed in on a few particularly peculiar paragraphs that made me not want to really pay attention to it. The author was clearly earnestly trying so hard to do something.
Gas can sold in California have this insane mechanism on the nozzle to ostensibly prevent vapor escaping and spillage. Except when trying to use the damn things for their purpose, the nozzle ends up dribbling gas if you don't do it just right. (To be fair, I think these are improving though.)

Or maybe it isn't, it's just people learning that they can say "no".
If those GPUs were on shelves, they’d predominantly be sold to people to play AAA title video games instead. It does suck that I have to play my games at a lower frame rate, but my plight of retail inconvenience is hardly a grievous moral injustice.
To be honest I think we agree about more than you make it seem!

What you did at your last job sounds exactly right to me – you were giving good feedback about what you needed, and when it wasn't heeded you left. Your manager didn't (or wasn't able to) hold up their side of that conversation and you moved to the "you should have left anyway" box. Doesn't sound fun, but we're in agreement on the steps there.

The 10 months thing seems to have tripped a few people up… I might try to rephrase that? Note that the section is titled "Avoid giving too much notice" and lists the reasons that 10 months was way too long. The advice is to match the notice period to the handover period, along with giving your manager ongoing feedback (as you did) if you're heading in this direction. Interestingly, one other commenter did a 12 (!) month notice period and it seemed to work in that situation.

Maybe that is where we've crossed wires on your last point too? I'm specifically not advocating for super-long notice periods, but as a hiring manager I would always respect a candidate who wanted to do e.g. 6 weeks instead of 2 if there was a good reason. For more senior roles, two weeks is not standard, nor is it internationally.
