Ask HN: Does anyone using GitHub projects feature?
I've worked with many teams for the past 15 years but never saw anyone using Github projects feature. Does anyone really using it? We are paying to other project/task management tools and really want to have them in one place but there are non-technical people in the team.
I can use both but it will be a challenging to use different tools for different teams and also I can't find a reason to use Github for managing projects. What type of companies use github and what are the benefits?
And when this behavior is being translated to more traditional city crime where residents typically are the ones calling the police for help, it also has the effect of demoralizing the factual reporting of such crimes (because "nothing happens anyways"), further decreasing the statistics which just become fake.

Then fast forward a few years, you end up in a situation like in San Francisco, where crime is clearly up to the roof everywhere you look, but you have local politicians saying - with confidence - that it is down instead.

A social scientist who has studied industrial sabotage might be able to correct me if I’m wrong: But I have read one (1) book on the subject—which frankly is one more then most—and I don’t think there is any evidence of correlation between industrial saboteurs and sociopathy. In fact, quite the contrary, saboteurs often go to quite a length to prevent people being physically harmed in the sabotage.

A saboteur is more often then not mostly frustrated at their employer, or the industry, and try to maximize harm to those entities, not innocent bystanders. However given that saboteurs are often quite angry and have often been in a prolonged state of stress, and most often act alone—keeping their plans secret until they are executed—they are often not in the best position to correctly estimate who will receive the most harm.

In our industry there are plenty of frustrated workers, some are underpaid, others are overworked, some work for entities they morally object to, etc. When a colleague engages in this kind of sabotage which causes disruption on some scale we might see it as an act of solidarity from a shared frustration. This is certainly the case in other industries, and I don’t think tech is any different. In fact this incident reviles that our industry might even be more vulnerable to industrial sabotage then other industries.

> It was originally slated to come out on Game Boy under the title Twinkle Popo, but Shigeru Miyamoto told us, “This game deserves more attention.” So we put off its release and made a few tweaks and fixes, and eventually it was reborn as Kirby’s Dream Land, the first game in what became the Kirby series from Nintendo. Meanwhile, the ads for Twinkle Popo had gone up on schedule, and the orders had been coming in—around twenty-six thousand, in fact. When we canceled the release, it caused a scandal at the company, as you can imagine. From the perspective of the folks in sales, it was a mortal blow to our reputation. In reality, though, we wound up selling over five million units of Kirby’s Dream Land for the Game Boy. A quick calculation shows this to be over two hundred times the number of initial orders. Clearly, if we hadn’t canceled the release, the Kirby series as we know it never would have come to be. Across the entire series, these games have achieved cumulative sales of over twenty million units worldwide..

The only thing the relational models really gives you is the ability to join two relations, which lets data decompose for storage but re-compose for many different uses. I'm not immediately seeing how that would be useful in a file context, where generally you want to look up a specific blob of data (aka a file).

A tree-based file-system is optimised for doing a search from the users perspective, finding a file takes log(files) steps and finding related files is trivially cheap. It is likely hard to outdo that with a relational model.
I'm not talking about the out-of-gamut problem. I'm saying that the standard algorithms simply do an awful job, such that you can easily beat them by eye.

This is in the context of trying to produce the closest sRGB colors to a set of LEDs, for use in documentation. No published method could actually do it. I did have to assume the LED was a single-wavelength source, gaussian with specified FWHM, or Lorentzian, rather than measuring the spectrum (I was too lazy to mess with the spectrophotometer), but I don't think that would have made the difference for an LED.
Keep playing, it gets better. The purple laser diminishes in importance - you get more balls faster than you get more lasers. And the bricks get stronger with more opportunities to find loops. By the time you're at level 30 or so, the lasers are doing about 15 damage, and the bricks are strong enough to start planning your routes.

Yes, but it’s not too hard to make one ridiculously long/complicated master password that is also memorable. It might take you a while to remember it — just keep it written down on paper somewhere private & safe and refer to it as needed. If you’re not being targeted then you’ll probably be fine.

Well, its similarly frustrating to me that the snap response to crime in America still seems to be, more enforcement. Clearly, the crime rate is the result of a multi-faceted set of variables. Why press the "harsher punishment" button?

Also if an idealized version of yourself would still steal, perhaps that is also multi-faceted, and requires some other change to society other than the justice system. What do you think you'd steal? I think I'd steal too - mostly from large corporations, because I don't really care if Disney or Walmart profits go down.

It’s completely valid to distrust password managers. No software is free from bugs, or accidentally exposing your passwords. It might take a lot of work, but it’s certainly possible.

There’s also the possibility of mismanaging your password database and losing all of your data.
There are some cards with open source firmware, you might be able to modify it to do something like that.

The problem with password managers was they were a commercial venture - not that commercial is inherently in the general case worse, but:

1. Closed source, so you cannot audit a critical peice of security infrastructure.
2. Perverse incentives - they want to make money, so they are naturally going to encourage new versions over old and deprecate support for old programs.
2a. If your company of choice has not great business they have an active incentive to sell your data (including bank passwords) on the black market.
3. A need to keep "Up to date" i.e. jam whatever hot takes into your app to up the selling appeal - you want your security to be very boring, having a bunch of new features mixed into every release is a recipe for insecurity and disaster.
4. Cloud access - this leads on from the last point, but as soon as you store your stuff on a third party server, even encrypted, your potential leaks go from your computer, to every device between you and the remote, and then some (all third party integrations). Which has the side effect, said companies must start (complex) security auditing practices with all the fun and failure points that brings...

Now, even on the open source side:

1. As soon as you have to update your password manager, you might as well throw away all passwords and start over:
a) Can you really trust that no source was beached during the update?
b) How do you know it is even a legitimate update? Better not have put your password for updating things in your password manager...
c) It's open source, great, so you can audit it but...will you?
d) Or will you just trust it and because some guy who wasn't getting paid and is trying to get through school and hold a part time job missed a critical bug, you end up with all your passwords compromised anyways.
2) Deserves status as its own point, Open Source is auditable but not necessarily trustworthy, not without a lot of active oversight.

As such, one can conclude that such programs are mostly collosal wastes of time, if not actively endagering security.

Even as a 'better than nothing', they are a bad idea, to the layfolk who don't know any better its just another potential bad practice they are getting drilled into them.

I would argue that writing down passwords on paper is usually a better practice than using a password manager, at least that can be locked up in your home (and if you can get into my home I have other bigger worries).

Instead we should focus on giving back some responsibility to the user - most sites don't need passwords, if you are using a password manager for those sites you should presume that password is low security.

It would be better if we could codify the importance of a password somehow.
And based on comments here, it seems that many of you guys seriously think that a solution is... arresting and jailing more people? Somehow brings mind the quote about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

And from my European point of view, the three strikes thing is pretty much a definition of jailing people for the hell of it.

> reviewer suggested a change that would introduce an error, or something smelly - treat it as welcomed feedback, make sure to perfectly understand the seemingly subtle difference in approaches, and with a thorough explanation

I used to do that. The team dynamic went wrong every time. I ended up being the one people picked on the most, complaining about things they had no issue other people to do. And half the time it was not genuine code quality anything. It was asserting dominance or thinking I like it. The team dynamic is a thing. And all of this "be thankful" may be good advice for very aggressive people. I am not, for someone like me it is very bad advice.

When I was younger I read and followed advice like this. It was literally opposite of what I needed. Fact is, people react to what you do.

The thing that helped me was starting to push back on these systematically. Even when I feel bad about pushing bad. Or if it feels rude. And it really helped.

-----

If it is subtle difference in approach, then my way is as good as yours. If you want to change team approach, open it on meeting, get freaking consensus from all. Don't sneak it in my code reviews without any prior discussion. And do it for everyone, not just for the most accommodating person on team (which I am no longer and intend to never become again).
> I don't know about you, but I actively use and enjoy every one of those things.

That's fine, as long as you pay the costs associated with those things. However, in most cities suburbs are revenue negative, and subsidized by the dense downtown areas (that don't have these).

> I wouldn't want to impose a garden or a parking spot on you.

The entire problem is that this is exactly what is done though. Zoning forces a very specific type of housing in most of the city (single family house with large lot size, garage, driveway and backyard), even for those who would be okay with or prefer something else.

I definitely agree that if I had to get some random device working, Windows is probably a good first OS to try. But since Linux has such a large supercomputer/cluster/cloud presence, the situation is sort of flipped for HPC. At least as far as I've seen -- most numerical codes seem to target the Unix-verse first, and the only weird drivers you need are the GPU drivers (actually I haven't tried much GPGPU out, but I believe the Linux NVIDIA GPGPU drivers aren't the same horrorshow that their desktop counterparts are).

The filesystem is used by different people for different purposes. Any attempt to make sense about “what makes sense” for files is going to be colored very differently depending on what perspective you have.

From an end-user perspective, files are documents that I create and I want to be able to find them in different ways.

From the perspective of a typical app developer, the filesystem is a hierarchical key-value store.

The perspective of a database developer, backup software developer, system administrator, etc. is going to be completely different yet.
