> I can't imagine a situation where I'd want to shout at another adult at work

As an impartial observer I've seen several appropriate instances of an adult raising their voice over another adult. Usually related to some kind of repeated socially inappropriate behavior like offensive comments, interrupting, things that could be construed as harassment, comments which could create legal trouble, etc.

A shouting match is something entirely different and is a really bad sign. But there are absolutely appropriate times to raise one's voice to speak over another, to correct something intolerable that demands immediate intervention.

It shouldn't happen regularly. The underlying behaviors necessitating raised voices should be addressed, likely in a private setting.

> It just seems a silly way overall to try and resolve differences.

Yes, yelling is clearly not an appropriate tool for dispute resolution. But it does have a place.
The main difference (although that is not clear from the article) that this system is based on fixed proportions of usable water volume whereas water rights in the Western US states are mostly setup in order of seniority and (at least historically) with no adjustment mechanism for usable flow. That means that if users with senior rights use up all the waters, junior rights holders and the natural river itself get no water.
Reading that study, I’m not convinced, it’s 20 boys and girls, and the method doesn’t appear foolproof to me. To be clear, I don’t really have an issue accepting there may be some difference, but I feel like it’s extremely overstated.
Cleanly doing UTF-8 support (the "right" way) is planned but is certainly non-trivial ... for example, see:

Nvi2 (and Nvi1) are excellent editors, but I wouldn't want to copy the Nvi2 implementation directly. This has been talked about elsewhere*

>A well functioning Agile team is talking to one another (within the team) about 50% of the time. Of a 40 hour work week, 20 of those hours ought to be spent discussing.

I've never been on a team where developers talk 50% of the time. We have a meeting to prioritize tickets once a week and talk to other devs when necessary.

If I worked at a company where devs were poking me 50% of my day, I'd leave screaming.
I have had this exact idea before, and agree with you on almost every front except for this seeing widespread adoption by non-hackers. :P

"Radically freeing" is exactly how I'd imagine it too.

If you need any help at all on the non-technical aspects (logistics, fundraising, manufacturing/stock-keeping), please shoot us a message (email in bio). Not asking for anything in return, would just love to see something like this come to market.

So many creators overlook these aspects, and they're arguably more important than the technical specifics.
There is no way for both parents to be "authentic self" while the kid is small. Whether it is one of them working many hours a day whole the other says home or whether it is both juggling work and parenting.Something gotta give. The time you was being "authentic self", whatever it means, is the time that is now spent supervising toddler.

Sometimes one of partners remains authentic self and keeps all those self things. And it looks cool until you realize their partner is not getting any "me time" at all or help. And that setup is significantly less cool for partner.
How do you know the model? People are asking the same question in Twitter and OP doesn't seem to have supplied an answer, then.
I've always been sceptical of this working well enough to be usable. Does the average iphone owner leave their bluetooth, gps, and mobile network on 24/7? Sounds like an awful waste of power. What about in the rest of the world outside the US, Canada and Australia where Android is the market leader and iphones are rather rare?

What happens inside buildings when the phone doesn't have a fix? Does it store the tag's key and sends it as soon as it gets gps data?
Yes, and Apple 100% has the capacity / ability to filter out "fake" AirTags on their back-end. All they need to do is setup a manufacturing process that captures the public keys.

So the phones will still relay the beacons to Apple, who can then do things and just reject messages from these fake tags.

(I worked for a Medical Device Company that set all of this up within our supply chain).
It probably is a crime, and maybe it will get looked into due to this article. It is weird the article is being so circumspect about it.
Where does Google recommend changing the name of the script? The author claims that they do, but their link just recommends self-hosting the script. In Google's recommended JS, the path is exactly the same, only the hostname is different ("www.googletagmanager.com" replaced with "<DOMAIN NAME>").

Self-hosting by itself might make blocking marginally more difficult, but there are other reasons to do it:

- Browsers these days segment caches by origin, so there's no caching benefit to using Google as a CDN.

- With HTTP2, a first-party request is likely to immediately go through an existing (multiplexed) connection, saving a handshake.

- It's arguably better for privacy, as users and legislators seem to be concerned about links to Google leaking IPs (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30135264).
> blockchains would function completely fine without exchanges.

I must be misunderstanding, but don't blockchains track references, through sequences of indirection (i.e., encrypted on the chain), to what is ultimately fiat currency?
Source on 300M in damages?

Is this real damage or "opportunity cost"?
I am working to educate municipalities about the risks of building new gas stations as EVs begin to get market share. Gas stations are expensive to cleanup and the insurance to cover spills is often insufficient.

I envision a future 20-30 years from now as profits dry up the industry collapsing and leaving municipalities holding the toxic asset of an expensive to cleanup site. These sites will then require municipalities to write grants, hire construction staff, etc.

> A well functioning Agile team is talking to one another (within the team) about 50% of the time. Of a 40 hour work week, 20 of those hours ought to be spent discussing.

I have been part of several Agile teams, starting as a junior engineer at a small startup, and eventually becoming a tech lead at a wannabe unicorn.

There's something common to all those places, and it's that spending a significant amount of time discussing things is just not possible. Spending 50% of your time discussing stuff will put a target on your back.

The pressure to deliver moderate to unrealistic amounts of work is always there. In that sense, POs and BAs never leave developers alone. Most of their time is spent making product's kitsch dreams come true.
So your argument is that the protestors should just learn about the constraints of chains like Monero and use those?
Ithkuil – An amateur linguist loses control of the language he invented (2012)
A similar thing actually happened to me, by a friend of a friend (although we lived in different countries). He was making an adult film that was supposed to be for a big platform. Hired everyone (including some big names), rented condos, film equipment, paid for flights (convinced a producer to front the money for some of it). At the end of the week long shoot he tried disappearing without paying for anything or anyone. And there was no platform involved, it was all made up. And my life was threatened by a few of the people he had "hired" because they thought I knew the guy (although I really didn't and he ripped me off too). This guy Ali sounds like the same kinda psychopath.
>If anyone has read Developer Hegemony, I'm fully on board with that general premise - we start operating like lawyers with partnerships, and turn bosses into customers. Though that does require us to think of ourselves as professionals not nerds who are too smart for business.

I own a copy of Democracy at Work and know there are a number of software and IT cooperatives out there...
The biggest mismatch in "needs" here is the apparent "need" of some people to be able to conduct substantial financial dealings without any government being able to either see what's going on or step in if it's blatantly illegal, while most people consider that to be detrimental to the overall functioning of a healthy society.

If you don't want to be part of our modern society, then please go find a way to do so away from all of us who do. Until and unless you separate yourselves from us entirely—including no longer taking advantage of our government-supported infrastructure, our government-supported education, our government-supported enforcement of property rights, and our government-supported military—you don't get to claim a right to evade either our laws and regulations around economic activity, or our taxes.
This is a crime. The only real question is whether Ali will get prosecuted - which, given that he defrauded employees rather than investors, I rather doubt.
It’s still significantly better in practice than, say, Python where you need to resort to containers to have any hope of another person being able to run your data science stack successfully.

Mathematica has this perception of being a black box, but much of its algorithms actually ship as plain text libraries. Its design also makes it trivial to cross-check results calculated with different algorithms.

Their algorithms are also designed to be robust to numerical errors, and are professionally verified against various sources such as textbooks and research papers.

Worse is better: people prefer to duct-tape random maths libraries together with Python from the Internet not because it’s better but because they feel more involved in the process.

Even if Wolfram open-sourced Mathematica tomorrow, nothing would change.
I need to say that I really despise snap apps. I don't get why I should use them, I never felt the need for a bloated app package with awful startup times...

On Ubuntu (last time I used it with a GUI, something like 1.5 years ago) the calculator app was a snap app. The f*ing CALCULATOR app! And it took longer to open the calculator than Firefox or VSCode.

I started hating Ubuntu for pushing snap so strongly, and this time I didn't forgave them...
This isn't a really a fair reading of the student's letter. It's clear that she was puzzled by the apparent (and in fact actual) contradiction between the erroneous paragraph and the rest of the book. She just asked Feynman for an explanation of what the paragraph meant. It does seem reasonable to give Feynman the benefit of the doubt and assume that there might possibly be a non-erroneous interpretation of the paragraph in question.

I think Feynman was getting on a favorite hobby horse about not trusting authority and reading the letter a little uncharitably.
The "EVO Pro" error was made by the OP. So it would be nice to know which drive OP actually tested.
> I just don’t think you can turn off billions of years of selective pressures around these feelings. Maybe you can choose to ignore them, but I’m not so sure.

I've been involved in non-monogamous (and sometimes polyamorous) relationships for the past 7 years or so. What I've found is there are other options besides turning off or ignoring difficult feelings. The best option, for me at least, has been simply learning how to deal with them.

For example, jealousy frequently manifests as an obsessive rumination about the new paramour and your partner's feelings for them. There are a thousand leaves on that tree, and no solace to be found even if you pluck each and every one of them. What matters are the hidden roots of jealousy, which usually consist of insecurity, fueled by uncertainty.

Does my partner still want me? Are they still attracted to me? Do they still love me? Do I still turn them on? What will happen? Is this the beginning of the end? Will our connection suffer? If so, how far will it slide? Will we still spend time together, share love together?

These are some of the hidden questions that underly jealous ruminations and thoughts. And sometimes the best antidote is to simply ask these questions to your partner. Ask for reassurance and clarity, so you aren't suffering and wondering. I had one partner in particular who was great at anticipating these feelings during predictably tough moments, and providing loving reassurance in advance. It was magical how quickly it dissolved jealousy.

Beyond that, exposure therapy work wonders. Fearing that something will harm you, then experiencing it, and surviving it with minimal harm, repeatedly. It has a dulling effect on fear. You see it in people all over the world, who can walk tight ropes, jump out of planes, perform on stage in front of millions, approach strangers on the street, etc., all without the fear and worry they had when they first started. Dealing with jealousy with a particular partner isn't a much different mountain to climb.
> Vacuum travel in a a tube does actually make sense. It may not be viable (yet?) but the idea is sound.

I'm not sure the idea will be viable, ever. Too many problems, not enough rewards.

For example, the problem of a vacuum tube developing a leak. The leak would start an implosion, which then propagates down both directions of the tube at mach-1 speed of sound. The implosion would resemble the continuous crushing of a soda can down the entire length of tube. The outside pressure at sea level compared to the inside (lack of) pressure is too great to be safe for passengers or cargo.

The above problem could in theory be solved using air locks spaced apart to have a chance to mitigate the destruction to a few kilometres where the leak happened. But the idea is not very feasible, the air-locked segments would be several kilometres long, enough to slow a transport capsule to a safe halt, yet long enough to get ahead of the mach-1 speed of implosion. High speed sensor networks would have to cover the the hyper-loop ad infinium.

And don't get me started on material science, in particular thermal expansion of steel. The only way to deal with thermal expansion is by using expansion joins. The problem with expansion joints, see the above part about leaks. The entire track of (above ground) tubing would have to deal with significant expansion/contraction. Like for Dallas <--> Austin the expansion would be well in excess of ~100's of ft.

Then comes the energy requirements to pull and maintain a hard vacuum in very long & wide tubes. The closest thing that comes to mind is the Large Hadron Collider, but that pulls a vacuum by cooling the narrow tube down to cryogenic temps... it's not the same. Hyper-loop would require HUGE amounts of energy to maintain the vacuum. It would be more energy put in than profit that comes out, unless of course the hyperloop is transporting some kind of high value merchandise like kilos of cocaine or whatever. The economics simply isn't there, the engineering isn't there, it's pretty much a terrible idea.

The only good argument for the Hyperloop is a logical fallacy, called "argument from authority". Put another way, the argument goes: since Elon Musk is so amazing, we can suspend our disbelief and trust the idea on the sole basis of whatever perceived accolades (the authority) Elon Musk has gained by being a billionaire entrepreneur. Sure, Elon's a cool dude, very smart, tenacious, etc... but that doesn't stop hyperloop from being a terrible idea.
Fake it until you make it is incredibly toxic for everyone - it gets people in over their heads in situations they have no experience for, it convinces folks to scam everyone around them, and it causes mental health issues for everyone as they can’t figure out if they should be more or less delusional than others.

It’s about time for some actual ‘experience and responsibility matter’ to come back - but it will have to get worse before it gets better, and hopefully we don’t get stuck in the ‘scam zone’
The problem here is there is no difference to the victim. They were promised money the hiring party did not have and did not deliver. From the worker's viewpoint, they've been cheated of their wages regardless of intent.

> about 50% of the time. Of a 40 hour work week, 20 of those hours ought to be spent discussing.

On a first pass, I thought this was a typo.

I genuinely cannot think of single scenario where discussion is even close to 50% percent of developer time, bar the exception of on-boarding and mentoring a recent graduate in the first month or so.

Do you mean discussion among PMs?

It is really weird that they didn't start making a ton of money from all the energy and work people did. This guy must be some kind of sociopath to do this to people, it was easy to make this work even if it started as a scam.
And what would you call the Cuba of the last several decades? A democratic politically liberal state that respects personal and political freedoms? I'm honestly curious. Also, you don't need to be brainwashed, you simply need to read, observe and speak to people who live or have lived there.

> Canada is a rule-of-law, democratic society.

Flat out wrong. Canada is freezing accounts of people who weren't violating any law, with ex post facto laws.
I don't think people in this thread have realized this, but the issue here is about an application of Gauss's law, not the law itself. If you write in a math test "d^2/dx^2 sin(x) = sin(x)" and complain that you have not been awarded points because a famous book on calculus has this equation in it, then you are appealing to authority instead of making an argument.
The USA is more in debt than China, it's just been badly spent.
News related to this a few days ago got me thinking that people who want the US Supreme Court to ratify "sensible" mandates and orders coming out of the Executive Branch even if they're legally sketchy should perhaps be careful what they wish for.

Korematsu v. United States which basically upheld FDR's executive order is probably one of the least defensible SCOTUS decisions of all time and definitely one of the worst if you include a few pre-Civil War cases.

ADDED: And, yes, SCOTUS is political too but it should act as at least some degree of check. I'm also not specifically commenting on any particular decision but I've certainly read decisions (as a non-lawyer) that were counter to my personal preference but which seemed the right thing legally.

I really depends on why they're having trouble shipping, so that should be the first task: find out why.

The first thing to try most of the time is to create well written tasks that can be completed in less than a couple of days, preferably a day.

This is an attempt to solve these issues:

- Tasks that are too vague.
- Developers that get stuck in the weeds.
- Developers that aren't that great.
- Identifying where the friction is.
Statistically, kids growing up in trailers don't do better then kids in nice homes. The stress of such arrangement itself, the financial insecurity is affecting both kids and parents.

And also, imo, kids of parents who obsessed over kids pretty often end up obsessing over own kids. Parenting is one of those things qe tend to copy a lot.

People who obsessed over kids or particular hobby or work are not incomplete. They are whole humans, just that you disaproves their values and choices. Or don't understand their psychology. Even if they are unhappy in their own arrangement, they are still whole people.

It feels like my 4yo is more at ease with himself and us when I am taking care of myself. This is highly difficult to assess objectively but kids are extremely good at picking up and emotionally inheriting the ambient levels of stress and discomfort.
I was misleading when I said it was automated. In StikK, you have to get someone on board who will sign off on your proof-of-work. To make it a service, you could probably pay someone on Fiverr to be your signer.
I started my own bioinformatics+AI services firm that specializes in cell-type specific biomarker discovery and immune-repertoire profiling (i.e. we use single-cell and NGS technologies). I have developed a pipeline that integrates/automates state-of-the-art algorithms, which I use to serve clients (biotech and academic labs).

My clients are mostly local (i.e. Switzerland) acquired through word-of-mouth. Client acquisition is a challenge because I have to juggle sales and execution. However I am super excited to be in this field because I believe this is exactly what precision medicine is.
