It’s hard to believe that advertisers would be paying Facebook $100 billion a year if their product didn’t modify behavior. Maybe they’re just misinformed about the efficacy of Facebook ads, but I doubt it.
That is condescending: you are jumping to a conclusion and implying that the person you are answering makes stupid rash decisions. Without a lot more context you can’t know how sensible their decision is. Even with that context, why should your opinion be listened to, and who are you anyway to tell someone else how to run their life?
This is excellent. I also like to use the phrase (to myself as much as anyone else) “keep repeating things until you hear your words used by others”. It’s not until people are saying things back to you as if they were their own ideas that they have fully internalised what you want.
Exactly. I wonder what Jira engineers think of Jira
This is exactly what happened to me, several years ago.

I don't think that meat is the deciding factor. I simply don't know what the deciding factor is, but only animals seem to have consciousness. I say "seem" but only in a philosophical sense. Of course we can't really tell if an animal is really feeling things or is just and advanced robot/zombie with no internal experience.

It's just that given what we know about the world and ourselves, it seems absurd that only I have internal experience, so unless I want to be overy hubristic, I must grant that other people have it too. Since other people have it too, there's no reason to think that animals don't have them.

Plants on the other hand are very different kinds of biological machines, so we can't really say anything about them.

It's possible that other kinds of entities can have self awareness, and it should be obvious that some kind of computation is a pre-requisite for that, but it also seems absurd to assume that it is sufficient.
Project Farm rules for the types of products he tests, which is pretty narrow.

It seems like the only way to really get a review is to find someone on youtube who shows the product being used in a way you plan to use it, or someone who does a re-review after a period of time like a year etc

I disagree that it's silly. I think that's unfairly dismissive of a valid point when he is paid money to advertise for those companies and we are discussing the validity of his reviews of that equipment.
Why do you need to keep up with what other people are willing to announce to the world they are doing though?

I always found this a tad odd. Most people would only share flattering or happy pieces on social media so you cannot account for hardships or problems they are facing in real life which I assume would be one objective reason to keep up with family.
Almost everyone I communicate with is on Instagram and no other platform collectively.

It's a primary communication tool.

I also do a lot of photography and it's the place to show my work (at least if I remotely want and real reach).

Many people use Instagram for their business too, as it's the best way to reach their audience.

For the newer generation it's a mandatory tool for social validation. Not defending that it's good. But it is what it is.
Interesting that it's using the Atom x5-Z8350. I've seen idle power consumption under 1.5W on these chips when software is setup properly.

What you described is the "Ops" in "DevOps". A decade ago the people doing "Dev" work were different from the people doing "Ops" work. But then the "anyone can do anything and everyone should work on everything" trend arrived, and they invented the concept of "DevOps", meaning that the same people would now do both "Dev" and "Ops" work.

Note that this description is entirely antithetical to your description "So that developers can just focus on programming".

You're not entirely wrong; this term has certainly degraded to the point of meaningless, where many companies now have teams that they call "DevOps teams", despite the fact that those teams only do Ops work. It's like we've come a full circle back to where different people do Dev and Ops work, but for some reason we call it with a term that means the literal opposite of that.
That last one is a good point. The size of the “sweet spot” in an HMD isn’t discussed enough.
People on Web 2.0 are getting paid more than they deserve already by using these services for free. Most accounts don’t need to make YouTube money as long as the big ones are subsidizing them.

A decentralized system where users don’t have to view ads etc. will necessarily be more expensive for everyone - because you have to fund infrastructure, because you have to penalize spammers, and just because if posters are getting paid it has to come from somewhere.
Ask HN: How do you monitor your young kids' computer usage?
As parents we can't be there at all hours of every day. Meanwhile, kids are being introduced to computers earlier and earlier. At some point, they will obtain a computer - maybe you feel it's the right time, or perhaps the grandparents give one as a present unannounced. Once you finally give in and allow them regularly access a computer of their own, how do you - a technical expert - monitor or manage their usage to make sure they don't get accidentally introduced to the darkest parts of the internet (e.g., bad images/videos, conversations with strangers, etc.)?
I had a 1hr chat with the hiring manager (and two others on the call) representing my current client for a 12 month contract.

The project was both new to them and myself so a combination of experience (as per my CV) and gut feeling on both sides lead to a signing.

“Using an iPhone is basically like the Gulag” - HackerNews
I’m a devops engineer. I sometimes write code (like interfacing with the k8s apis and gluing stuff together).

Some considerations:

1. No salary = you don’t pay well.

If you paid well you’d be listing that first in the job posting.

2. Also the four hours assignment… when it comes to devops kind of stuff, chances are it’s impossible, or impossible to do in 4 hours.

If I have to spin up infrastructure to do your assignment, I have to pay out of pocket.

If there’s a service I haven’t used before then I must spend additional time to go though the documentation, do some trial and error (on my time, out of my pocket).

Chances are very high there could be a tool I haven’t used before, and that would mean I could just fail because I don’t know that tool (but I could learn it easily on the job, if I hadn’t a four hour limit).

So yeah the four hour assignment is completely moronic and unless the scope is cristal clear and laser focused (eg: only aws and only ec2+s3) i’d skip you too.
Biotech platforms are out, products are back in
You seem to have a very AWS focused perspective. Your statements about containers and serverless are not true when you look at the spectrum of products out there and dig into details.

I wouldn't build a serverless framework or platform. There are cloud provider options and kubernetes based options. People use serverless when it makes sense, but it's not going to become the dominant way people deploy software. Not sure what you mean by "tool"?

Why do you care about what database users have when thinking about building a serverless tool?
I suppose a trojan designed for a specific compiler is hard enough to make.

Having it hijack a model checker as well, in order to conceal itself from resulting models, would be a giant leap more difficult.

So, you are still risking it if you have nation-state adversaries, but not if they are script kiddies.
But they do sometimes interview the crap out of you, speaking from personal recent experience.

I really, really love Shortcut. Unfortunately our org is looking for a traditional Gantt chart, and Shortcut is a bit lacking in that.

However, up to this point in our company, it's been great. It's very deliverable-centered. Stories are the deliverables and are the centerpiece of the flow.
Tasks just make up a to-do checklist for a story - there's no endless wrangling about that is a task, there's no credit for doing a task (shitty devs can't game the system). Shortcut feels like it hits a nice spot between the monster that is Jira and too-basic tools like Trello. Shortcut is made for developers.

Have you tried a blindfold? Or sticking your head in the sand?
1. Have a competent trustworthy project manager work with product to come up with a roadmap, you then document the roadmap in a simple easy to read document which is hierarchical, and contains a list of initiatives to fit the roadmap. Under each initiative you can set a status and a target date and importantly, a team or individuals name who is in-charge of the roadmap. Project managers keep this document up to date.

2. Next, don't deploy JIRA here, just make sure everyone, and I mean everyone understands the roadmap and how they fit into it.

3. Work with those in-charge (who actually do the work) can choose their issue tracker of choice, or whatever method they like and the product management team ensures and trusts those they work with will have made the correct decision here.

4. Allow the dev teams to happily work in something simple like GH issues and be productive.

When the product team wants updates, humans get together and talk about each initiative and how it's going.

Simple.

You might ask about tracking cOmPlEx iNtErDePeNdEnCiEs!!! that killer feature JIRA is about solving...I think that can be solved easily by ensuring managers have situational awareness (they should anyway) and everyone having the same issue tracker. For example GH issues so issues can be easily referenced.
> If you're reading a nonfiction book (that you own, obviously), the whole idea of "don't write in the book" is complete bullshit

It seems that the LVT has a lot in common with the recent (insane) proposal to tax unrealized capital gains on stocks. Property taxes are already bad enough, but at least they’re based on actual sales figures not estimated/imaginary “potential market value”

This is definitely true. I considered that it could be Ukraine, but ultimately it seemed less likely. Most of the Ukraine-related logo changes I personally saw were done earlier on in the war, and most of what I see right now is Pride-related. I probably could have mentioned this possibility in the comment, as well.

That said, the author didn’t tell us; so we’re left to guess.
+1. I literally have not had to interview for a job, not for real anyway, since college. I got hired in 1996 right out of college helping a friend move wherein the hiring manager let me know there was another job there. We'd all come out of the same computer science department. By 1999 I was managing the system administration team (dev ops wasn't a thing then) at company 1.

In 2000, the same person that hired me at company 1 had joined to a startup in CA. I got hired by him again. I did a basic tech screen via phone, got an offer, the company paid for my move to CA. I was there from 2000-2007 through that company splitting in two and the half I stayed with eventually getting acquired by a Fortune 500, company 3. No interview as part of the acquisition. I also moved in 2004 back to the east coast, again paid for by company 2. I started working mostly from home for company 2 about a year later, which persisted with company 3.

In 2009, some of the folks I worked with at company 2/3 founded a startup in CA. Got hired again, this is now company 4, with another pro-forma interview. I worked from home for company 4 from 2009-2013. That company then got acquired by my current employer, company 5. No interview as part of the acquisition. Continued to work from home. My current employer has changed hands twice now, but still calls itself the same as when I was acquired.

When I'm ready to go, I have a network of people I've worked with at a variety of tech companies. Company 5 is dysfunctional and filled with mediocre talent, but everyone is so cordial, pay and benefits are good, so I haven't really had reason to leave other than the frustration of dealing with some bureaucracy and creaky legacy systems. I've mostly been insulated from that because I've been responsible for a fairly self-contained system.

Now I'm inheriting other people's crap as folks move on, but you know, last week I deleted over 10,000 lines of unused or unneeded code and that was actually pretty satisfying.
> It depends on whether consciousness is a computational process.

Absolutely agree. But that is the assumption that I would liken to alchemists comparing lead and gold. We know almost nothing about the brain. We know almost nothing about consciousness. But yet some people assume that consciousness is computable just because we don't know anything else it could be (just as alchemists assumed gold and lead could be transform because they were both chrysopoeic base metals. They hadn't discovered atomic theory yet). When all you have is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail.

We know that the vast majority of numbers are uncomputable[1]. We also have proved that computation is incomplete[2] and can be undecidable[3]. It seems perfectly logical that consciousness is not computable. Or it could be computable, I obviously don't know. If someone makes the claim that consciousness is computable, then the burden of lies with them. We can't accept that on blind faith. At this point it is all opinion and speculation (as you said) because we still can't even define consciousness in a rigorous way. (and I don't think we will ever create artificial consciousness until we can define it, but that is an orthogonal issue).

An intuitive analogy is your gut is like a rainforest. It's hard for any one species to become overly dominant since it's a very dynamic system with many species that have optimized to even specific tree species. However in extreme environments like the Arctic there are only a handful of species as the environment is unfriendly to all. Antibiotic is akin to burning down a rainforest which does get rid of a few bad species, but also creates all the other species that keep the bad species in check. Post fire if a bad species is the first to take hold the entire area is fucked.

Your mouth has it's own floura. Sure you can blast everything away but eventually you'll be far more securable to some alcohol (or whatever antiseptic) resistant bad bug and you will get very sick for a very long time.

I wonder if there are actually any classrooms in America where gender identity or sexual orientation aren't discussed. Particularly in grade school. Particularly in a place like Florida.

Edit: actually if you’re up for a serious discussion, you mention gender identity shouldn’t be a topic in primary school. Sometimes I wonder if we have a shared meaning on the terms “gender identity” because I would love to send my kid to a primary school where gender identity isn’t discussed, but the idea is ludicrous, not because of its immorality, but it’s impossibility. gender is one of the most discriminating social institutions we have. Everything about the way our society is organized is designed to socialize Kids into a traditional gender identity, hell months before being born parents throw gender reveal parties to determine if a kid should like pink or blue, so what would this even look like? Same thing with sexual orientation by the way given the prevalence of prince winning over princess stories in childrens media.
That's not consciousness. Consciousness is the space in which your brain tells a story pretending that "you" are in charge a lot more often than you are.
You are missing some of the functionality you say you can’t do. You can. You missing permanence and open marketplaces aspects of it. I don’t own or think BAYC is a great thing, but as a membership token to some club it’s as good as a Costco card. and then someone did raves for Costco members.
> So: odds are, the author is upset about having LGBTQ “activism” pushed on their devices.

Your guess is probably correct. We all know why they aren't being explicit about it, right? Someone here literally threatened that they "actively" won't hire me for commenting on this post :-)

> Specifically, remember that a vague assertion that LGBTQ people exist

It's not vague at all, it's literally a flag. And it's not an acknowledgment of existence of some group. The most charitable interpretation is that it's a protest against heteronormativity, which many people naturally support.

> is what some folks consider “political.”

Of course it is political, pretending it isn't is disingenuous.

The Mau Mau massacre is not 'unambigously right to apologize for'. The moral argument that one must make amends for his/her sin should apply to the perpetrators of the sin, not people who were uninvolved and the government has already compensated the victims of British torture financially.

But the Kenyan view that the Mau Mau were heroic freedom fighters and colonialism was bad, is painfully simplistic. The Mau Mau started the war by murdering innocents, they killed their own people if they did not swear an oath of alliegance and they escalated the brutality every step of the way.

The real Kenyans who wanted nothing to do with either the Brits or the Mau Mau are nearly completely unrecognized and yet the political narrative is dominated by the impacts of war, resources and money.

Your second link doesn't suggest anything to do with the British Empire. The values it's advertising are bog standard secular democratic stuff. The values of the British Empire were more religious, monarchical and imperialistic.

If this is the anti-empire narrative then it is disappointly anemic. Tribes who escalate economic warfare to the level of pure psychopathy and a small british colony that escalates to respond in war-camp, torturous kind, is not a good face value judgement of the largest empire the planet's seen, and all the good that it brought.
Some developers want none of that, and even those that do will I’m sure argue the fairness/value. If it’s genuinely a good deal then there’s no reason to not allow competition.
My experience with that is:

0) time doing the project is tracked, sometimes via the expectation that you commit to the git repository from start to finish. dinging you for "points" for going over the time allotment

and that the other candidates are:

1) doing way extra things that took way more than 6 hours

2) are not doing those extra things from scratch because they've been playing this game for a while

and that

3) the company still has inaccurate ideas of what a candidate should be expected to present in the 6 hours

4) is judging you on completely random things that they did not mention. "you didn't use this design pattern" "we don't like MVVP anymore, we're back on MVP. here's this other acronym."
