If you are a great manager do you really want to solve the "homeless guy overdosed in the bathroom" problem every week? Especially given that you can't practically do anything about it as the restroom policy flows down from corporate?

It's all responsibility and no authority. You probably don't even have much discretion or visibility when it comes to how employees are rewarded.

Bonus, it pays considerbly less than anything else you can do.
Dunno how exactly these systems work, but I assume it wasn't designed by idiots who never driven a car before and accounts overtaking. Warning should be only ON when sustaining the speed, not for few seconds.
And once you spec it up to the 16 / 512 that it minimally needs to be for any serious work, you are close to the (now discounted) price for the base 14 inch macbook pro at third party resellers. This air is currently way overpriced. At the price it was released it should have had 512 gb storage, which also would have avoided the performance issues. It is still going to sell really well though, so maybe the previous model was just underpriced.

Ask HN: What should MBA students learn about info tech?
If you were teaching an MBA course related to information technology, what would you want your students to learn? Also, what resources would you prescribe for them (websites, books, textbooks, etc)?

This would be the only purely IT course they would be taking.

P.S.: Like many of you, and people like PG, I too take a dim view of the MBA degree. Honestly, if this weren't a fee-paying situation, I'd just recommend that everyone read HN daily, that'd be all the IT professional development content they'd need. But this is a fee-paying situation at a university MBA program. And yes, I will be teaching it sometime in the next two years.
Both myself and my partner had similar experiences at the dentist. They found work that needed to be done, we got second opinions, and were told something completely different.

I stopped trusting dentists since then. If I can feel or see a problem (in the mirror or in xrays), then sure, I'll get it fixed. But, if my teeth feel perfectly fine, I'm not going to rush into getting them drilled out.
You mean concatenating the lists or pairwise addition?

I don't expect the former to be slow in python as it would be a primitive implemented in C (although even a simple lisp interpreter can have an advantage here by just concatenating the conses).

For the latter, any language runtime capable of inference should be able to optimize it.
Or, they actually were thought to be useful for kidnappings and this was an honest attempt. Perhaps largely security theatre, I could imagine there have been a handful of cases where this was enough.

Are you a junior engineer? Or someone without a lot of years under your belt?

That's probably why. A lot of these discussions don't really pertain to you, and that's okay. Those types of meetings are more for your PMs and your high level staff engineers to understand a project more holistically. To a new engineer, it's 100% fluff they don't care about.

They'll make more sense in time, but don't worry about it for now. You'll learn more the business and grow in responsibilities and then those meetings will both make more sense and have more interest.
> "Mass fun violence in the 80s were marked with higher powered guns, like the Uzi used in..."

Reading the Wikipedia link you yourself provided, seems like he used the shotgun as often or more than the Uzi carbine. The article also notes that the Uzi carbine used is a) semi-automatic (fires only once per trigger pull, like other ordinary civilian firearms) and b) fires 9mm pistol rounds (about midrange in power and effectiveness for pistols), meaning that its actually not a "higher powered gun" in any way and certainly not when compared to the shotgun.

Don't mislead people. It only makes it harder to pass sane gun control laws when its proponents are seen to be repeating exaggerations and misconceptions.

Let's pretend there were a nation of clones with an economy based on coal-mining. One day the demand for coal drops to zero and this spells economic doom. No matter that they're all clones; the angry citizens, looking for scapegoats, will divide society by zip code or gender or birth-date, and clash over that.

People 'descend into tribal politics' when they feel the outlook for their society is worsening. That is the driving force that determines whether society considers itself homogeneous.

People accept most any system of government when there is optimism in the air.

Show HN: Engage with your Twitter followers to build meaningful relationships
I think that most of us spend our time on Twitter usually in rage dumping because we're forced to interact with random people without common interest.

I believe if we could interact with people with common interests on Twitter then we can build meaningful relationships with them.

Fortunately we do have access to people on Twitter with common interests - Our followers; But it's currently not easy to spot what connects us with our followers as we might not follow back all our followers and even if we do there's no guarantee that we'd see all their tweets or those tweets which matter to us.

Hence I've created 'engage followers' and it works by,

1. Monitoring the tweets of our Twitter followers.

2. Classifying their tweets according to our chosen topics of interest.

3. Sending the list of tweets which matches our topics to us via an email digest and/or Auto liking them(So we can check those tweets in the likes section of Twitter).

I've seen good results over the past few days since I've launched engage followers, Getting to know about some like minded followers on my personal & product accounts. I hope you'd give it a try and tell me how it can be made more useful.
I used to make this joke a lot but all of the stuff I use has made it to v1 :)

Suggestion for the breadcrumb example on this page (and other examples like it): https://defensivecss.dev/tip/flexbox-wrapping/#breadcrumbs

I wish the app moguls would just give us a "Turn off Personalization" option and let me explore freely. I turn off all history tracking on YouTube, but it doesn't matter. Whether it's on or off, you can't explore a topic deeply. You have 1-2 videos on the subject, then you have completely random unrelated click-bait garbage.

Even music apps are disappointing. Sometimes they do well, but most of the time it seems not. I play a radio station for Mat Corby, which is a pretty chill downtempo vibe, and the app throws in stuff from my library that has no relation--like Kanye West's Jesus Walks. Literally did that multiple times. Those vibes could not be more different.

Maybe cataloging music is a difficult problem, but there was a time (maybe 2010?) when YouTube would efficiently suggest music that had a vibe to what I was listening to, and it helped me find many artists I listed to now.

You.com is too similar to Google imo; we go significantly further than they do in terms of synthesizing explanations. Same goes for snippets; on You.com, you usually need to click on a button (.e.g "Open Side Panel") to get a code snippet which adds friction. Furthermore, they seem to be simply showing the full Stack Overflow page; our approach is to find and rank the most relevant code snippet while offering a "See Reference" button to make it easy to go to the original page.
Me too :) One of the reasons why I fell in love with macOS - every text editing widget in the whole OS is very consistently using the basic Emacs keys like C-a, C-e, C-k, C-y, C-t, etc. That also makes Xcode (and most other IDEs) much less awful right out of the box ;)
>I don't understand the upset for "warrantless wire-tapping" unless you have something to hide, especially when these days people are begging the government to protect us from extremists/terrorists and not sit on their hands.

Okay. Let's assume for the moment that you "have nothing to hide."

Let's go to your house and set up cameras and microphones covering the premises.

Then, let's do the same for your automobile(s).

And for good measure, let's have you wear a microphone 24/7 too.

Once that's done, we can set up a website where we can all watch/listen to you.

If you have nothing to hide, that should be no big deal, right?

What's that? You don't consent to such monitoring? Why? Do you have something to hide?
I have seen the resume padder on many occasions, and have had to clean up after they left. It's amazing to see a team become visibly happier with their day job when you move to sensible foundations based on sound reasoning.

The teams that were the most efficient, and happiest with their day to day were the ones which picked frameworks with good documentation, a plethora of online resources, and ignored the latest shiny toy on the market.
This kind of attitude takes all the oxygen out of the room and makes it impossible to actually do good.
Maybe it's just that I'm a car guy, and I watch a lot of presentations about cars. They constantly refer to their models like this. Like it's a person, not an object.
> No one hears about the times the FBI, CIA, etc has stopped a terrorist act

We should be hearing about them, if they actually exist, especially with how rabid the media is in reporting any potential terrorism stories[1]. A policy of not just quietly "disappearing" people is supposedly what sets us apart from those authoritarian countries that the US likes to paint as boogeymen. If what you're saying was true, it'd be a horrifying breach of ethics and the literal constitutional right to due process.

Well fundamentally all super computers are turing machines. So one can do X while Y can not doesn't really make sense in that context.

However the second-fastest (ARM based Fugaku) absolutely wipes the floor with the fastest in certain tasks due to a difference in interconnect topology. Fugaku futhermore has no GPUs unlike many other super computers and instead a CPU with some vector instructions, leading to a different programming model.

If you are more into specialized hardware, Anton3 is amazing.

People talk about macOS as being a toy and say it's not a real UNIX like Linux - but it's actually one of very few real UNIX implementations, which only includes a couple of Linux distributions.
Some thoughts:

- #12 add observability needs to be #1. if you can't observe your service, for all you know it's not even running. Less hyperbolically, good instrumentation will make every other step go faster by lowering the time to resolution for any issues that come up (and there will be some)

- #11 is incredibly oversimplified, and potentially dangerous. how to do double writes like that and not create temporal soup is...complicated. very complicated. it's important to remember that the database the app is sitting on top of is (probably) taking care of a great many synchronization needs.

if you can do a one way replication, that drastically simplifies things. otherwise either do it in the monolith before breaking up into services, or do it after you've broken up services, and have the services share the database layer in the interim.

(I'm not debating that it needs to be done -- just advocating for sane approaches)

- #10 - I've had great results with the strangler pattern. Intercepting data at I/O gives a lot of tools for being able to gradually change internal interfaces while keeping public/external interfaces constant.

- #5 - as you introduce more processes, integration and end to end testing becomes more and more vital. it becomes harder and harder to run the service locally, and it becomes harder to tell which where a problem is occurring. cross service debugging can be a nightmare. in general it's just important to keep an eye on what the system is doing from an outside perspective and if any contracts have inadvertently changed behaviors.
I love that after all these years, this still exists.

As a technical person, you have a natural moat around your castle. Technical work is difficult, complex and requires years of training and experience.

Business and management work is... not nearly as complex. But the people doing that work have the same highly complex brains as you do. They can handle the same deep complexity as you. So with all this extra mental space, they add layers and layers of complexity to seemingly simple business processes. This complexity builds the moat protecting their turf from others. It creates the irreplaceability that you get for free.

Most of this complexity has no clear business purpose (bureaucracy). Some of this complexity is fiction or invented languages (bullshit). It is all designed to exclude outsiders and prevent anyone not on the inside from being able to tell what is going on or easily get anything done.
IIRC (haven't used Erlang in anger for a decade or so, may be out of date), this is about the only non-Tk option for Erlang UIs, so it isn't _that_ niche. I mean, it's still very niche, but for Erlang users there isn't much choice).
re: "copy massive companies"; I don't recall seeing a single "microservice" at Google. Granted, in the 10 years I was there I mostly worked on non-cloud type stuff. But still.

Google has perfected the art of the giant, distributed, horizontally scalable mostly-relational database. They have services, yes. But in large part... they generally all talk to F1 or similar.

Microservices with each thing having its own schema and/or DB seems to me to be a phenomenally stupid idea which will simply lead to abusing your relational model and doing dumb things like your own custom bespoke server-side joins with your own custom bespoke two phase commit or other transaction logic.

Before Google I worked in one shop that did 'microservices' and the release process was a complicated nightmare that would have been better solved by a complicated combinatorial graph optimization library. There were cross service RPCish calls made all over the place to piece data together that in a more monolithic system would be resolved by a simple fast relational join. I shudder to remember it.

But I'm just an old man. Pay no heed.

Also bear in mind the second amendment notes the right of PEOPLE to keep and bear arms. If it meant just the militia they would have written it was the militia's right not the people's right.

They almost get to this with some of their lighting demos -- the real joyous experience with this sort of lighting effect is to turn on a tiny bit of fog "dust" in some sort of big spacious building like a cathedral, and see the shafts of light coming in from various windows.

Just to put things into perspective, the 2019 MBP might be worse than M1 Macs, but it's still way better than anything I've seen in the PC world (which is why Macs have been able to coast through bad decisions regarding keyboard, ports, and touchbar for so many years). That said, I'm very excited for these new ARM devices.

It sounds like a mix of you being invited to meetings that you don't need to be at, and you not being interested in learning about the business.

To solve the first problem, just stop going. See if anyone notices/cares.

The second problem isn't really a problem depending on your career goals. You can be a fine engineer if you don't understand the business, but you'll never get to the highest levels. At the highest levels, even as an engineer, you need to understand how your work fits into the greater business goals.

If however you are worried about career advancement, then you need to figure out a way to understand the business and the business needs.

The best way to do that is to just ask. If someone says something you don't understand, make a note to speak to them about it later.
I am not generally an Apple user, but I had a 2012 MacBook pro for work for a few years, and it seemed pretty nice. I can't remember any complaints. That's while I was working at Google, though, so all I used it for was a web browser and SSH terminal.

Is UN trolling?
To explore the idea being brought up here, what type of death causes are considered 'tragic' or 'one-off'? Is it the improbability of the cause which will influence the decision-making? If so, wouldn't how the cause is categorized/labeled directly impact our perception of the improbability of it?

For instance:

- Being run over by a trolley is a highly improbable event

- Being run over by a vehicle (higher category in which trolleys are a part of) is a less improbable event

- Dying of a very specific form of cancer which destroyed an organ is a highly improbable event

- Dying of cancer is less improbable

In the scenario for organ donation, what if the recipient had an improbable reason for needing the organ?

As far as my own views, I don't know if the tragicness/one-offness/improbability of the cause of death factors much in my decision-making. Though, I do think there's probably a good argument for reducing active suffering (that I haven't fully thought out).
