A company I worked for before used Redmine. It was easy to use, had a great API and was quite fast. Open source as well, unless you wanted to pay for a custom installation, which went by the name of EasyRedmine.

I use Linear these days, and that's great too. But for a small company? I'd recommend Redmine.
The implication that retirement implies less risky investment isn’t true for the truly rich, who control most of the wealth in truly risky asset classes (VC, etc).

For example, consider a 60 year old retiree with a 529 plan. Their daughter got into an expensive college but received a merit scholarship, so they only need to use 1/2 of the plan’s balance. The 529 is inheritable by the beneficiary, who will have children going to college in 25 years. The time horizon of the investments in this portfolio just went from near-term/conservative to long-term/risky.

Similarly, there are many boomers who have more money saved up than they could reasonably hope to spend in retirement. They are no longer investing for their future selves, but for their children or grandchildren, who have long time horizons.

Also, most of the LPs in big venture funds are institutional capital (endowments, family offices, etc), not personal capital.

The argument that appetite for more risky investments will dry up (say, decline by 50%) is flawed if it hinges primarily on demographics and interest rates, IMO. These asset classes are far removed from the retirement strategies of everyday people.
My main annoyances with the Atlassian suite are mostly the bugs: for example, they have 3 different parsers for their wiki markup which aren’t fully compatible, and none of them are as good as Markdown. They’ve had years to do QA but…

The only thing I see in Jira as an actual gap is the inexplicable lack of a standard view for showing all of the tickets in a particular sprint. You can make custom queries, of course, but it’s such a common need which everyone else on the market solved in 1.0.

> quite a stretch to go from banning LGBT searches to death penalties for those same people

Fair enough. Would note that the death penalty, alongside torture and chemical castration, are sanctioned punishments for being gay in the UAE [1].

> But many of those same countries are now having second thoughts.

I didn't see where those countries were having "second thoughts".

Italy, Portugal, Slovakia, Bulgaria, and Romania want 2040 instead of 2035, but the source material doesn't indicate they first wanted 2035 and then had second thoughts for 2040.

> The United States should consider adopting a market-based strategy for increasing electric vehicle usage.

Wake me up when Reason describes how to include the significant negative externalities of vehicle ownership in the market price.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Externalities_of_automobiles#S... lists a few ways, one of which is regulation. Two others are fuel and carbon taxes, and subsidizes, both solutions Reason's libertarian dreams avoid.
Feudal-like political jockeying for power produces this nonsense. I've been beleaguered with such nonsense for most of my 28-year career, working in 3 Fortune 250's.

Are you implying that the US or the EU can simply threaten the gulf states militarily to make them tolerate LGBT rights? Why do you think it has never happened till now? From 1973 when the gulf states withheld oil and sent the west into a mini dark age till the murder of a US journalist in a foreign country? You realize that the majority of 9/11 perpetrators were Saudi nationals? Your hypotheses seems flawed.
> IMO they've been mostly regressive.

This is quite the take.

Compare what’s possible today because of smartphones that didn’t exist in 2006. Huge populations of the world have internet access and technology that would’ve been unthinkable 25 years ago. Half of HN is getting rich because of smartphones.

Yes, parts of the culture change that’s resulted from smartphones kinda sucks. But “mostly regressive” feels like a stretch.

I'd be (genuinely) interested in an answer to the questions: (a) would people here, as individuals, feel comfortable working for a company owned by someone like Mohammed bin Salman? and (b) If not, what is the difference between that and a company changing its working practices to continue making profits in that country?

My sense is that the corporate decisions are easier because they're depersonalised, but I don't see much of a moral distinction between the two.

Clearly there's a difference in the directness of interaction when it's a person or a company. But speaking personally I would never compromise my core ethical beliefs (which include not working in an environment where gay people are executed because of who they love and secret service agents are sent to kill critical journalists overseas) just so my company could make more money.

This isn't to say that I don't think politicians shouldn't talk to those regimes, but that feels quite different.
In the west, Amazon restricts search results or drops books critical of gender theory. In other countries, it's the other way round. I would even prefer them having a consitently bad position to being just spineless and opportunistic.
It's kind of amusing: I've seen a few times developers rebelling and moving to whatever other random tool (Atlassian's own Trello, Pivotal Tracker, Github's thing, stickers on the wall) as soon as a hardline PO/PM left the job. Only for JIRA to return when another PO/PM that "really really needs the reporting features" (but didn't really use them) was hired.
One of the commentators likes to yse this line: the only things that are interchangeable between the top 3 teams’ cars are brake lights and tyres. Yet week in week out they are separated by less than 0,3 seconds to the finish line. The teams have gone through a great filter that makes the barrier of entry pretty limited, but there definitely is a place for the engineering battle side of F1.

From what I understand (I have no personal experience with it), Godot is better than Unity at 2D games, but not remotely as good at 3D.
>you cannot pause the game and "view" the scene in the editor (making debug for collisions etc difficult).

Do you mean actually pausing the game (play using the editor, then pause) and then checking the remote tree? You can check the remote tree while the game is paused. I have noticed breakpoints (in C#) tend to freeze updates on the remote tree though. Additionally, you can show collision shapes during gameplay by toggling it.

>E.g. the script editor UI is weird (it has reasonable actual code editing, but the layout and how you select files is weird and really unintuitive IMO)

Big reason I use VS Code to edit. Unfortunately shaders are still best written in-engine and the shader window has a really, really annoying tendency of removing itself once selecting a different node without selecting a different shader. Funny since animation and audio tabs don't show the same behavior (the animation tab stays locked until you select another animation tree, audio behaves similarly).

>so it is easy to get lost in the embedded scenes-within-scenes

My biggest problem with scenes, I can get used to scenes-within-scenes by keeping things on a code level, but nodes tend to be fairly expensive and making things like components isn't the most intuitive in Godot coming from Unity, Unreal or anything similar. If the community was a bit more mature and bigger, someone would've probably figured out best practices to avoid these things rather it looking like a flaw in the system itself.
That document you linked is amazing! I don't know much scratch but my son has gotten deep into it building games, and he's frequently asking me questions about how it works and I'm always forced to speculate. This is fascinating indeed. Thank you!
Unless the new things are physically touching the other mass, then my guess is that the primary cooling effect is due to 1.) convection through the air in the freezer, followed by the 2.) conduction through the surface the new things are sitting on, followed by the 3.) IR radiation of the new thing. The existing thermal mass in the freezer interacts with the new thing via 1 (indirectly) and 3 (by absorption), but I suspect that the compressor cooling the air is a bigger effect.
I would ask you to re-read my post please. I posted in the interest of balance, and when I did most of the og comments were negative, the top voted one being from someone who had never installed thunderbird and didn't know how to use a package manager.

I was just thinking of the open source contributors who must feel really down getting just negative feedback, hence I hoped to give a bit of balance.

Also, there is nothing wrong with emotional needs. The majority of our needs beyond the basic are emotionally driven. I like my emotions ;)
I used Shortcut (formerly Clubhouse) for a while. It was a huge breath of fresh air coming from Jira. But I'm not sure how much of that was that I despised Jira more-so than I loved Clubhouse.

I started using Linear recently and I can never go back to Jira. Linear is that good.

> if you can't trust spot, then you can't trust futures because futures price will immediately start moving towards the manipulated spot price

The problem isn’t solely a manipulated spot price. It’s there being no spot price. If exchanges start diverging, the mechanisms holding the ETF stable collapse or become fraudulently misleading. (For example, if Grayscale references the Gemini price for unit creation/destruction and the Gemini price is double that on Kraken.)

This will create havoc in the futures market, too. But the havoc is pushed to the periphery. The contract participants bear the pain. The central clearinghouse will continue creating a value for the future, and that value will port truly to the ETF. That leaves all the central mechanics, from borrow/lend to derivatives and even settlement, unharmed. (If the central clearinghouse halts, then everything halts simultaneously. Totally different from a commodity market.)
I also prefer to write my stuff offline and than paste it to a web interface. That works great, until you write markdown and paste in into Confluence.
Instead of just accepting markdown and formatting it in the same way it does when you type markdown, Confluence puts it between code tags..

Jira does this better, but is still weird with their text formatting. There are two different kinds of input fields, one of them accepts markdown, the other one some other kind of markup language. Copying some formatted text from one of the inputs to the other doesn't work because of this.
Ah - guess that's the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust. I'm a bit slow keeping up with all the ETFs and stuff. Here's a nice graph of its premium/discount https://www.theblock.co/data/crypto-markets/structured-produ...

I don’t see why this is a problem for society. Things rise and they fall. That’s markets. The guys who have created it are billionaires, they helped a lot of people. Now it’s time to move on to more modern things.

Similarly with decentralized projects like Bitcoin. I have come to appreciate Moxie’s stance on decentralized systems moving more slowly. It’s a trade-off. Can any Bitcoin maxis please tell us why we can’t look to newer projects for solving whatever it is Bitcoin was supposed to do but failed to achieve - be a peer to peer cash system for example? How about other applications like voting… why always and only Bitcoin, a 13-year-old project that barely evolves?

Forgetting that Java tool vendors are ex-Smalltalkers?

Including the JIT and GC that powers OpenJDK, which was only made freely available on Java 6 version.

Also that Sun went bankrupt trying to push Java everywhere, while the other Java vendors (and Microsoft with .NET Core), learned to only open the core part, while the crown jewels are kept commercial.
> My claim is that (at a bare minimum) the market Amazon competes in includes Walmart, target and other large retailers. The market is not “online retail.”

Walmart and Amazon do compete in many markets, but that doesn’t mean Walmart competes in every market that Amazon does. Rare books are available from Amazon but not Walmart.

Also online retail is the only market in areas that are only served by online retail. Just as it’s irrelevant if there are multiple ISP’s nationally or internationally if only one ISP serves your island.

> Also none of the items in the Prime bundle raise antitrust concerns.

It’s not that Prime is inherently a problem, the issue is it meets the second half of an anti trust case where if they have any actual monopoly then proving unfair competition becomes easy. Free shipping is a great tag line, but risky from a legal standpoint.
Only once did we actively cancel a contract with a solo entrepreneur. It was a payment platform (on top of Stripe). We later learned (via Twitter photos) he also did a coast-to-coast camping van trip for several weeks. I think he was living in the van, too. All fine. But then during a customer complaint we couldn't get hold of him for days. Maybe in a national park without cellphone reception? It was too much of risk for us long-term.
>I also can't understand why we need parades that share what other people do in their bedrooms

Probably a reaction 'what they do in the bedroom' being made literally illegal for a long period of time. I can imagine wanting to throw a parade to show the 'good people of society' that you're just as human as they are, with the expected goal being to ward off further persecution in the future.
I use navi: https://github.com/denisidoro/navi

> navi allows you to browse through cheatsheets (that you may write yourself or download from maintainers) and execute commands. Suggested values for arguments are dynamically displayed in a list.

It also lets you use cheatsheets from tldr and cheat.sh from it (besides your own cheatsheets). I've started to mostly just maintain my own, copying what I find most useful from those repositories, though.
If anyone ends up finding this, I found this university project to be extremely useful http://cqpweb.lancs.ac.uk/ they have all sorts of tools pre-built to consume data sets compiled by other researchers that can let you build your own word lists (or dictionaries, depending on your background).
How do you do a performance review for that job? What would "success" look like?

Failure could be determined easily: When Skynet starts eliminating humanity, you can be pretty sure your ethicists have failed, right? So as long as that is not happening, they're doing a good job?
Hah, answering a question with a question ;)

A few pain points for me:

- No Markdown support. Yes, there's rich input, but I find it more natural to write prose in a markup language rather than with a rich editor.

- Single "kernel" support. This isn't a criticism of Mathematica per-se: it doesn't care about other languages. But, it's nice to be able to use Jupyter Notebooks with C++, Python, etc.

- Limited UX w.r.t layout. JupyterLab lets me pin outputs, split the view, run a terminal alongside my notebook etc.

- Restricted ecosystem. This is a big one - it's not trivial to write an extension for Mathematica to extend its UX / rich output mechanism. With Jupyter, this is fairly trivial.

Don't get me wrong, they're different tools, and that's why I'm reluctant to engage with "X is better than Y" discussions. Mathematica is vastly unsuited to the kind of analysis / work that I do, whilst I'm sure the same is true of those who swear by Mathematica.

Brawn was one of the truely impressive feats in Formula One. The others that are somewhat similar are Beneton (arguably Schumacher played a huge role as well) and Red Bull.

That McLaren and Williams fell so far from competitiveness is quite said actually.
Why does a competitor need to be open source? ClickUp, Asana, and Shortcut/Clubhouse are all competing in this space. I consider Jira to be far and away the worst one of that bunch, but beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.

My personal preference is ClickUp or Asana as they offer flexibility to bolt on routine task management in a much more flexible way.
I wouldn't bank on a 5th edition Pi any time soon. The supply chain issues for the pi4 have meant stock shortages for months on end and it probably won't let up.

I'm guessing the Pico is a much simpler thing to make and in high quantities, so much easier to churn out to meet the demand
Edit to clarify : I don't doubt this specific robbing story, and I'm sad for the owner. It's the narrative about million dollars game cartridge, which can be read "a lot" in press and appear in the middle of the article which intrigue/bother me.

I'm geniously wondering (but not too hard I admit) what part about theses stories of 'million dollar videogame cardridges' are trues and wich are urban legend.

There were multiple alleged scam story about this 'milieu' and stories about crazy prices were indeed fake (or more exactly PR for derivated product like 'expertise' and 'unusual placement and money laundering friendly').

But I wonder if there is really a market of people exchanging game copy for really high amount with 5 or more digits. (no doubt for dedicated fans, I know a few, but event if they pay hight sum we are still in the 3-4 digits sums and often a lot of time, it stays a hobby).

People passionated about a specic game, willing to pay hundreds of dollar for a legit cartridge and nostalgia kick not doubt.

People willing to spend thousands of dollar on an occasional project of making a restoration of an old arcade cabinet, not doubt (it's a nice tinkering hobby, but the hobby part is probably the most important, not the result).

But "numerous insanely rich and anonymous peoples willing to spend millions on black market with shady people to buy stolen video game cartridge" I doubt ^^
If it’s open source, I tend to have a little more trust with solo entrepreneurs. I can see all the details of what they are selling.

If it is not, then I look for things like reputation, reviews, testimonials. A good product alone will not always get a sale. The person has to trust you and your company.
As posted in a similar HN thread: thesis, antithesis, synthesis.

An idea comes up. It solves problems, but it also has shortcomings. An antithesis that deals fixed the shortcomings comes up and is adopted. Turns out it also has shortcomings of its own. The synthesis merged them together.

And repeat.

I was thinking shareholder lawsuits against, eg, Disney or Amazon who appear to have lost a substantial amount of market value while focusing on “woke” over success.
I consider myself to be a solo developer/entrepreneur.

Some tips to look like a small business (which is fine for most clients) instead of solo developer:
* Get incorporated
* Get "advisors" or "partners" that you can list, but do not actually do any work
* Get freelancers that you can list, but only hire when required
* Hire 1-2 part time students and let them answer calls or and do accounting/busy work

Last but not least, just have a great product and customers will work around their due diligence processes ;-)
I've been involved in some hires of new graduates in both engineering and physics. What I've noticed is that students are acutely aware of job market for programmers, and to a somewhat lesser extent, the relative status of "hardware" and "software." They're differentiating themselves into programmers and non-programmers. I've observed that anybody who can program well enough to do it for money, will eventually be doing so.

They're all exposed to Matlab (it's on every resume), but that could range from actually knowing how to program, to having been given some pre-written scripts to run in a class.

However, the ones who are inclined to program, want to learn a language that they perceive to be relevant to the software development job market. Some of them have gone so far as to take a handful of CS courses and are as up to date on good coding practices as the CS majors themselves. This even includes some students in traditionally non programming fields such as biology and chemistry.

Remember that it's usually easier to learn your second language, so if a student has the itch to program, there's a pretty good chance that they will have learned Python on the side by the time they graduate.
