This is missing one of my biggest tools: establishing the right feedback loops.

For example, there was a novel situation where we thought we might be able to do something for the internal team of experts that was handling it. So we paired one of their people up with one of the developers and said, "Take a few weeks and try out things that might help." That short feedback loop between need and solutions let them iterate through a variety of things to see what had the highest ROI.

Or at the last company I co-founded, we started out by doing user-testing every Tuesday afternoon. My co-founder and I would try things and see how they worked on real users, iterating from there. Later, as we got more developers and enough users, we gradually built up a sophisticated set of tools for conducting experiments. Developers were closely involved in that work and we had a ship-early, ship-often approach that let people release something, see how it was working, and then adjust.

I think of it sort of like game design. If you can structure things so that teams can develop a rewarding emotional connection via an overall purpose and frequent feedback, they'll just do the right thing naturally. Through that lens, the need for a lot of active bossing people around can sometimes be seen as a sign of bad management.
Thunderbird was on my mind when I was writing this. I think it ultimately comes down to whether they can afford any missteps or side concerns at all - and if the answer is "no", then Thunderbird must be cut loose no matter its value. It can always be mothballed until the times get better, or it can even be given "on loan" for some fixed duration to another trusted FOSS foundation and re-adopted when the time is up.

As good as Thunderbird is, I wouldn't want it to be anywhere near the top of Mozilla's priorities list right now.
This book was absolutely amazing! It is astonishingly well-written, almost actually exciting to read at times, and chock full of fascinating insights and anecdotes. Oh, and its main text was really useful as well, uncovering so many programming language behaviors I had seen many times before, but never figured out why things were as they are.

Truly, I can't recommend this book enough, if the topic is at all interesting to you!

The hidden dependencies in your regression tests
Ask HN: Software devs with 10 years experience, what do you still love about it?
There's always threads about burnout and woes about writing software.

I'm curious: what are the things you still love about it after all these years?

Let's show the youngsters what to look forward to.
That's amazing. Thanks you for putting this together.
> How does this kind of article make it to the front page of HN, seriously?

The title alone is pure HN-bait.
Russia biggest problem is that once they were a great nation. Now they are no longer but can't accept that. Since they have no way of keeping up with the others, all they can do is putting a spoke in the wheel of the others. If they hadn't been great or could accept that they are no longer, they could work their way up again for sure. Today they spend too much money on military and too little on development.
It does make sense, though. This would be a great opportunity for deflection.
I wasn't even thinking about doing dynamic multi-column layouts. But just put some sort of maximum width. Sure, there's going to be a ton of empty space, but that's less of a hassle. At least the text is easy to read.

Macbook air isn't a lot larger or heavier, especially when you add a keyboard case to it. In fact my MBA weighs less than my MBP with the logitech case on it.
yeah, I love those threads, but Twitter makes it difficult to handle. On the computer, I can have all of them on my bookmarks bar. But no way to handle that on mobile.

Unless you start a thread for your threads, and pin that to your profile (like, the thread is the first tweet in every thread)

Edit: twitter had the 'moments' feature, but that went away some time ago

I have this same experience, but goals are editable all the way through evaluations, so there's nothing saying you can't change your goals as you're writing your self-evaluations.
Next time this happens, public health agencies will be dealing with large swaths of their populations who have zero (actually, negative) trust in them and refuse to comply with any and all measures from day one.
Show HN: Kattam – The Box, A Word Puzzle Game from a dad-son team
It's darned difficult to make a new and fresh word puzzle app, in today's heated word game universe, but my kiddo and I tried, and this is our take.

1. The Stage - A box. Words popping out with missing letters. Ominous looking tendrils peeking out from the top

2. The Goal - Keep your words from going off the top.

3. Your Moves - A moving buffet of random letters to choose from, and the riskier strategy of moving letters between words (ProTip: That way lies Mt Doom), and Hammer Time to help you squash those stuck words.

That's it! No ads, no tracking, no coins, no weekly subscriptions to get more vowels; Just words - coming at you like a horde of wilderbeast.

Developed by me, and PMd by my kid, who drove me mad, in a loving way (you haven't lived until your 1st grader cries on seeing your memory graph going the wrong way), but we got to the finish line, and here it is...

Would love your feedback

The vaccine reserved for you did not go to the third world instead.
The narrative here is that the media is pro-war because they want the money from increased readership or viewership, and they're attacking anyone who wants peace by questioning their loyalty.

I'm sure there are some hawkish editorials out there, but if that were really true, I should have run into it multiple times with all the coverage I've read.

And strangely, no mention of the Russian media at all.
It's not a safe assumption that other forms of money exist that are less problematic than Bitcoin. People can and can't buy things using certain kinds of money largely because of the results of war or the threat of war. I'm always amazed at people that are confident the US Dollar machine is more ethical than Bitcoin.

There's simply too much to consider to know for sure, and the experiment of making a better version of money is probably at least worth as much as drying clothes, especially when you consider it's as equally opt-in.
She always gives a partisan, anti-regulation opinion in these. She says that cryptocurrencies need new rules, but she never elaborates. She wants to keep the barrier of entry low while having meaningful protection for customers. Without regulation or oversight. How? Nobody knows. She doesn't either.
if I want to make an anonymous donation I can send BTC to any big player that consolidates outgoing transfers from their hot wallets and you won't have a chance in hell of knowing who sent it.

of course you can't move millions or illegal monoey like that (you can't use it like a tumbler) because it would be traceable if coinbase or whoever get subpoenaed

but you on this case you would be safe from persecution from supporting some political activism that gets ppl frothing in the mouth and want to make other ppl lose their jobs.
i would challenge you to test your opinion by spending even seven days living in downtown Ottawa. You would then seriously reconsider my labelling of 18 hours of illegally loud truck horns as torture as being "extreme language".
Why can't you just enjoy a hobby? Why do you feel the urge to extract productivity gains from something fun.
I think that there's another angle here too. That Putin made demands of NATO publicly and NATO rejected them completely just as publicly has backed him into a corner. Perhaps he only meant to bluff to extract concessions in the beginning, but now there's no way out without looking weak. I think he has to at least make a symbolic invasion now for political reasons. I feel very sorry for the Ukrainians caught up in this game, as they don't seem to have a win condition, and they're the ones going to pay the ultimate price.
Not a fan of these sharp modern faces in general. However, the small text in this one looks particularly "smudgy".

I stopped hopping monospace fonts when I discovered Go Mono. Go Mono does not seem to get blurry even at small sizes. M, m, n always look impeccable. Not so here.

I'm not sure. Maybe something is wrong with the text-rendering in my browser.

Multi Account Containers is the key reason I use Firefox. I have to juggle multiple accounts for the same services for work. Containers makes this trivial. The closest chrome has is profiles which require a separate window and are just generally far more painful to use.
It's a service that provides a convenient form of aggregation. It's not impossible to do things without one, but doing ad hoc peer-to-peer donations from a large number of donors to a large number of recipients in a very short amount of time is pretty difficult without some type of infrastructure to facilitate it. It doesn't have to be a general purpose donation platform, but whatever it is will have the same privacy factors I referenced already: independently of whether it accepts crypto, it will have to decide if/what user data to retain.
Be careful not to confuse technical debt with technical entropy.

Technical debt may be nothing more than a prioritization strategy that is either intentionally or unintentionally blindsided by a technical asymmetry of attention to a rate of system degradation.

Smart organizations will throttle the degree to which development performs like an ever insatiable desire to maximize efficiency at the cost of mortgaging away the responsibility for system refreshment.

Just as "fitness functions" are desirable sensors for expiring licensing and contractual renewals so should an enterprise think about and implement ecosystem fitness functions that compare existing system state against the latest industry trajectories. Identifying, recognizing, and rectifying business ecosystem weaknesses will go a long way in preventative maintenance and reduced technical entropy and debt.
Sleep deprivation and continuous noise is considered torture under Geneva Convention and by the U.N.[1] and Canadian law[2]. U.S. and others have been condemned heavily for using such techniques and U.S. has since stopped (at least officially) even in black ops places like Gitmo.

Protests and blockade are one thing, continuous noise in areas where people live and work is not peaceful .

Hi. I cannot belive that I actually registered on this page just to write this comment.
But I also got the feeling that there had been alot of mist around of bass, and I hope to lift some of it.

So first thing first: There _is_ and community fork. Url had been spammed allready. Yes we are active. To be honest, bass is more active then it probably ever had been before.
Next days we will also launch a project page (url: www.basm.dev). And yes .. that near passed away was as least a shock for us. But its also the reason why we took it up.

Now about @giovannibajo1 very valid statement:
Yes. Until recently that would had been true. Syntax may, or may not always be optimal. It's too sad that so far no Issue ticket, or Discord Message had reached me about this thoughts. In the end its a community project.
All I can say at this point is that the pure assembly syntax is to 100% fluid. You can mix it your own flavor. To be honest I never did MIPS using bass myself. But I would love to chat about "how a clean syntax should looks like".

Feel welcome.
They don't mention NSAIDs in the abstract, I will see if I can pull the full article.

I would hope to see better evidence if this is genuinely established. That doesn't mean it's wrong, but "established finding" is a high bar.
Throwing in my kudos. This is such a needed kind of site. What is your business model? If you can't spill the beans due to seeking funding, I understand completely.
If I could have rolled back time I'd have used Java and Spring.

If I pick now it'd be a composite application based on microservices built in pretty much out of the box Go. I have a proven 8 year low maintenance cycle project on that already because Pike Et al actually think about the past and future before they release stuff.
We have controlled access roads (aka "freeways") which are the natural domains of automobiles. Pedestrians, pets, bicycles and other impedimenta are out of bounds there. We have fenced and raised rail roads and their cars should be able to assume that pedestrians et al won't be encountered.

Everywhere else...I don't believe cars should be allowed to drive as if they have the right of way. Sure, it's bogus to leap out from being hidden between parked cars, but that's a corner case akin to sticking a fork in a power outlet.

A hard example is the unprotected rail lines that run through residential neighborhoods with no fencing or other separation between the rail road and kids. These aren't just in the Central Valley -- you can see this right in Redwood City. Even at a glacial pace a train full of cars can't be expected to stop on a dime.
Cognitive behavioral therapy: Practice re-framing events in a more positive light, and identifying and short-circuiting unsupported, unspoken negative assumptions about yourself.

NYC residents repeatedly vote for no bail policies for violent offenders. Isn't the city getting exactly what they voted for?
>> This type of revelation will likely be commonplace in the days/weeks ahead as militant extremists are exposed.

> There will always be some opportunistic groups looking to cause more mayhem in chaotic situations like this. These protests have been literally “mostly peaceful” no?

Exactly. Didn't "Bugaloo Bois" try to hijack the Black Lives Matter protests?

I think it's important to be careful, and not try to paint an entire protest movement with a small unreasonable minority that may be within or adjacent to it.
I regret that I can only upvote this once. Art is my job and I feel much the same way. I have managed to find a set of clients whose desires are better met by custom art with a distinct personal style but, y'know, it'd be nice if "shitting out some Corporate Memphis at a price point appropriate to a startup sitting on piles of VC money" was an option for me and a bunch of other illustrators too. We got bills to pay.
That is the entire point. International travel is not for the plebs.

Here's a solution: Stop acting like a jerk. I understand people aren't going to change completely, but instead of the world trying to figure out how to work around you and if it's worth the costs, how about you solve the problem. It's your responsibility - it's your behavior, and it's also your workplace and you are having a negative impact on its functioning.

In particular, bosses who act like prima donnas convey that they don't care about outcomes - very poor leadership. Boards should not put up with it - 'why are you harming the business?' 'Is there a return on this approach?' (I am not naive: I know it's really about power.)

As an aside, THE BULWARK is the best - the only, that I've seen - good writing on current politics. They clearly have opinions (which often disagree with mine - I generally have different politics), but they are clear-eyed and honest, and can see right through the smokescreen of BS and sophistry that dominates everything else. Very highly recommended. Given the times, possibly one of the most essential publications ever - no exaggeration.
Both of the situations you described can be accurate simultaneously.

There are two levels of civil government. The military can override the civil functions of the lower level (the states) while still taking orders from the upper level (the federal government)
14 years experience here.

- I still love the feeling of finality when you mark a Github PR as ready for review. It's like you let out a breath you've been holding in for a day or more. The fruit of all that thinking all that pondering, now in tangible form. Ready to make someones life better. (I think this is why I don't see myself working at an enterprise - I enjoy having high impact in products)

- I love guiding younger engineers around trade-offs to solutions. I tell them my recommendation and then I go through my reasoning and because I have 14 years I have first-hand accounts about what went wrong and why. It feels good. I remember in my early days having a senior show me the ropes was very interesting and very fun.
Cubeast – smart Rubik's cube application
Several companies produce smart Rubik cubes. Usually they come up with some custom apps which work with that single cube only. Cubeast works with all public smart cubes (I think it's 6 different models right now).
It's a rails app written by one programmer.

Not any. In Taiwan for example, buying a prepaid sim + service still requires a form of state/national identification, even when they're purchased from a 7-Eleven.
I don't believe in having multiple classes of free citizens. If a free person wants to, they could easily abduct a child, barring them from taking care of kids is a laughable feel-good policy that insults the notion that there should be no free second class citizen.

If someone can't be trusted to not abuse children, they need to be jailed or on probation until they can be trusted. Those people can't be trusted in public. If they've abused children through rape of small children or serious violence against the weak, just execute the low life. Children are everywhere, the idea an abuser is just fine being tempted with children everywhere, from the street to playground, except they'll be nice and honest and use their real SSN and identity when applying to work with children is a hilarious notion.

And frankly, unless proven otherwise, I assume sex convictions are something like pissing by the side of the road or a 19 year old banged their 16 y/o girlfriend. The government loves to imprison people for insane reasons and sex offender registry is a poor guide as to whether someone can be trusted with children.
The question I have is, did GiveSendGo concede that they left the bucket open, and if not, how was it opened.
You're absolutely right. The fact that so many other browsers are based on chromium, is a blatant condemnation of how the Servo engine has not met an important demand. If Servo was properly useable outside of Firefox, we would have seen more open-source browsers use it.
Well yes, that's the law as written, but generally not as enforced.

I'm not sure what an implicit crossing is. In California every street intersection is explicitly a pedestrian crossing per CVC unless otherwise marked.

To play the devil's advocate, if the US were to allow Ukraine to enter NATO, that would be just as "aggressive" from Russia's point of view as Russia projecting its influence further into Eastern Europe would be from a US perspective.

Also, the US always has a lot to gain through war, or even the threats thereof. Even though no war has been declared, loads of expensive military equipment has been sold and shipped to the front lines just because of this saber-rattling exercise. The revolving door between the boards of Raytheon and Lockheed, lobbyist groups, and the cabinets of elected politicians means someone in a position of power always stands to gain from keeping the arms trade rolling.

The corporate media has always played lackey to those interests, and this time is no different. That can be true AND the fact that Russia is behaving aggressively can also be true at the same time.
> At least foreign policy is something that is germane to those elections.

> This is a complete non sequitur.
I don't get it. The media is reporting because there are 130k troops at the Ukraine border and many countries are telling their citizens to leave Ukraine and evacuating embassies. I'm sure US is very well aware of what is going on.

Putin demanded that NATO promises Ukraine will never be allowed in. NATO stated they cannot do that.

US sent military to Poland including several fighter jets.

Things are serious. Why wouldn't media report on these things? I'm sure most people around the globe are hoping for a peaceful resolution. Russia can back off at any moment and the media reporting stops.

WESTERN MEDIA cannot start this war. US will not make a move, NATO will not make a move. Any moves from western side will occur after Russia invades, but I doubt US wants to get involved.
> But here is a good tip, people who want to stay in touch, will be in touch.

This flies in the face of the whole point of OP's post. It's hard to stay in touch. Even when you want to. I have at least 2-3 friends who were very good friends at one point and who I'd like to be good friends with again but we just don't keep in regular contact. When we do talk its great but for some reason or another we don't talk often.
