Other tools primarily track tasks or issues. In Kitemaker, you will track work items representing features, fixes, and experiments you plan to ship to your users.

Either this doesn't express the intent properly, or it summarizes as 'you call it issues, we call it work items' i.e. not really a difference. From the screenshots it also doesn't really look too different from other software I'm using (work items, like in other issue trackers, have labels and priorities and members and so on, can be put in a roadmap, etc.). My takeaway would be: if you want me to sign up to try this, you should highlight differences with say Jira/Gitxxx premium/...

AdGuard browser extension in controversial Manifest V3
Woah this is fantastic ! Thanks for the tip
It’s not so much in contradiction with a scientific background/training: you’ll still need to go through prototypes, drafts, rough ideas expressed before you can share/observe/analyse them.

Creatively speaking (and writing is a creative endeavor, whatever the topic is), rushing in is like letting your mind breathe freely and empty it from what’s bothering it, so it can put it all out, and then allow it to focus/develop.

In writing the cost of pen/paper is marginal, so you can afford it extensively.

> Most of the earths history didn't even have ice caps.

Most of Earth's history also didn't have humans. Or animals, even.

Fortunately over the course of Earth's history, the planet managed to develop a climate that was favourable to human life, and now we've gone and destabilised that.

It's not that Earth is immediately inhospitable to human life, but it is disrupting everything that we thought that we could count on. Countries that developed around an abundance of water suddenly have droughts. Other countries get way more water than they're used to. Or it gets more extreme: droughts followed by massive floods.
"when camera became cheap, and everybody had a good camera on their phones, people assumed it would be the death of professional photographers. But it was not."

Prices for stock photography fell so low that it stopped being a viable way to pay for housing and food. All those displaced stock photographers then tried to get into adjacent markets, which ruined wedding photography prices, too.

I predict the author will soon face increased competition by other storyboard artists. Those that used to do art which has now been replaced by AI.

How do the employees not know, if the situation is so bad for so long? They know and they still choose to stay. So they are not the OP’s responsibility.

Best option is to just leave. OP can still talk to the employees that he is friendly with - maybe that will help them take the situation seriously

Beef is by far the least economic type of meat. If you've really got to eat meat, eat chicken. Or fish. If you do eat beef (rarely, please), eat something that roamed in nature, and wasn't farmed.
It doesn't have to be complicated though, and it also doesn't need additional information. The trains could simply be "parked" at terminus stations, and when a train is scheduled to depart in the other direction, check if a train is available at the station - if yes, use it, if no, create a new one.

OP can probably start their email with "As far as I can see (and I may not be seeing everything)".

But as others here wrote, if the investor mentions the email to the CEO, it might trigger a witch hunt of who the whistleblower is. OP could say "I'm a former employee of [company]" and it would take the heat off people currently working there.
Global transport isn't really the problem. It's relatively efficient and technically easy to decarbonize.

Shipping things from countries that have natural resource advantages is fine. Shipping things from other countries because they do things that are illegal in your own country (whether that’s labor rights, environmental regulations, lack of democracy, slavery or whatever) is bad.

We're talking about standard behavior. People regularly drink taller coffees, there's cold brew, etc.

And, of course, you could always drink 20 cups too and have more caffeine than an intravenous shot even. But if we go with just drink the required amount of cups for your target caffeine level, there's no sense in discussing which has more caffeine.
Yeah and many normal people beyond drivers also made money and consumers gained, while some existing producers and Uber investors lost.

The market always producers winners and losers, there is nothing that can really be done.

You can't really make it illegal to invest in growing companies that lose money.
> Should I anonymously inform investors that my startup employer is a scam, and if yes, how should I approach it?

Imo, the good first step is to contact a layer with relevant expertise and consult what your steps should be. So that you don't accidentally break law or otherwise get yourself in trouble, so that your whistleblowing way is most solid possible and so that you don't accidentally out yourself.

The layer can also help you figure out what is actual fraud and what is not.
Which paper was that? I'm also interested in other early sources, even if not serious.
I've got the M1 Air with 16GB RAM and honestly, not being a fanboy or anything, it's the best computer I've ever owned. The battery lasts for days for me, it's very lightweight, zero noise (no fan on this model), not too warm, and has not yet struggled with any of the tasks I've thrown at it (I regularly keep open simultaneously Xcode, Slack, multiple browser tabs, PDF viewing, terminal scripts, etc). I also do some Logic Pro music projects, nothing really heavy, but it handles all the VSTs and stuff fine too.

Definitely recommend 16GB though. I have heard that the 8GB Air can be more problematic under these workloads.

> "why can’t issues represent outcomes?"

They can and should. And it turns out that teams can improve an existing task writeup simply by adding an explicit outcome goal and metric, such as: "Aim for outcome X as measured by Y".
OK, I see that the discussion is futile.

This is both pedantic, condescending, and unwilling to entertain an idea.

In any case, just for anybody interested:

>No, for this to be plausible, you would need to have some theory of why the two notes matched with each other. There is no such theory; they have been chosen to be as unmatched as possible.

Nothing has in 12-tet has been "chosen to be as unmatched as possible". Instead, we've chosen it to match the ratios as close as we can, given the compromises we had (simpler instruments, larger range, etc.).

The 12-tet values still has strict mathematical properties, it's not just some random off collection of pitches - and it could be that, which is perceived as "perfection" by the imaginary alien race (that it is equally spaced values on a logarithmic scale).

I'm an eternal lurker and UX happens to be my passion. I'll break my vows of silence to state this: saying that HN has bad UX is an understatement. I spent years missing out on the site because, in its natural state, it's quite simply unreadable to me. It reminds of 4chan (not that I would ever want to use 4chan, but that's precisely why I mention it). I can't browse it unless it's on an app on my phone, or with the set of custom CSS snippets I wrote for Stylus on my PC (and that's just to make it readable).

It's also built with table elements. The programmer in me is screaming because that's not the proper use of tables (I know that was the way to build layouts in the past, but that was then and this is now). The UXer in me is screaming because it's a nightmare for accessibility.

I want to add that I'm not coming from the "Overengineer-and-Bloat-Every-Website" UX School of Thought, so I agree with your point about Reddit. Being performant and light on resources is part of what makes a good UX, but that's the thing: there's more to UX that loading fast and running without hiccups. I think HN's experience could be greatly improved without compromising in any of those aspects.

It may be useful to have a look at the assembly. There's probably no instruction corresponding to the cast, you just get a different arithmetic instruction that uses the bottom X bits. For a comparison between code with and without a cast between signed and unsigned ints of the same width, I would expect exactly the same instructions to be used.
This is a moral choice you should make yourself.

I have a 16" 2021 Macbook Pro M1.

1. It's great. I'm not sure I've ever heard the fans spin up. I've had very occasional glitches with sound when switching workspaces.

2. The only thing that's been a blocker for me is trying to run an old Terraform release and the lack of some arm64 docker images (in which case I have to target amd64).

3. See #2. In addition, I did experience some poor performance when mounting volumes from my local filesystem, but that has been _vastly_ improved since they added "VirtioFS accelerated directory sharing". Now it's great.

4. I only have 16GB of RAM. My workloads are typically not that heavy, but I have edited a couple of videos in DaVinci Resolve and didn't have any issues. Sounds like it would make sense for you to go for 32GB though.
> can we just make it render on time?

Oh, time to go down a low-latency rabbit hole. Start here:

https://raphlinus.github.io/ui/graphics/2020/09/13/composito...

Some key mentions: Windows has a hardware overlay API. A hardware overlay is why the OS mouse cursor renders with low latency even with 'vsync on'.

For fullscreen, the ultimate in tear-free low latency is beam racing. Search for 'blur busters beam racing' to go down that rabbit hole.
Seems good for me
The first thing I do on every new machine is to turn off all and every kind of notification including sound - especially Slack notifications those drive me insane...

Show HN: I made a macOS tool to prevent me from working late hours
Hey HN, I used to be the poster child "10x" engineer. I always went far beyond the job description, actively involving myself in everything and having no issue working late hours/weekends/vacations if necessary to achieve my goals. I did this because I love engineering and it brought me a lot of career success, but it wasn't until recently that I realized this was actively destroying my life and leading me to an early death. Putting work above my own life completely ruined my social life, and eventually made me so stressed and anxious that it became impossible for me to relax and do anything in my life besides working myself to death. Even work itself was damaging me as I was then spending every single day (including weekends) under overwhelming stress for being unable to not accumulate extra work and responsibilities I knew I should be rejecting.

I was in desperate need to stop being a workaholic, but I had zero self-control. I was so addicted that even though I knew I should lay back and relax, I would always end up checking Slack in the middle of night, get stressed, do some work I shouldn't be doing, and spend the entire weekend burned out. I needed my computer to actively stop me from doing so.

I initially solved this by using Apple's own Screen Time feature, but it doesn't really allow you to totally block an app. It only lets you limit how much you can use it on any given day, which was not sufficient to keep me in check as I truly needed the ability to completely disable certain apps at certain hours. Some third-party productivity apps do have this feature, but they're paid and not geared towards work addiction (quite the opposite, actually), so I didn't want to pay a subscription to something that didn't fit my use case.

I ended up developing my own solution. I made it for myself with zero commercial intentions, but I thought there might be others in this same situation who could benefit from it, so I decided to release it to the public as a free tool that tracks/requires no user info whatsoever. It improved my life and I hope it can be useful to someone else here too.
Does it not make very little sense to blame inflation on this particular government when every nation is suffering inflation in the wake of a barely-mitigated global pandemic?

Does it not follow that when inflation strikes, poverty increases, because the same wages buy less food? And have Labour not acted strongly against the most damaging parts of poverty, with the new insulation and ventilation policies and subsidies, the winter energy payments, and the free school lunches?

We can blame Labour for many things, like failing to act quickly enough to alleviate the housing crisis, but to blame them for global inflation seems like tabloid news and not critical thought.
Wow... I thought I had seen a lot of strange C++ code but I have _never_ seen packed structs using this syntax:

struct X {
type alias : numeric_value = false;
...
}

I love the power of C++ but there is _so much_ to the language. I'm sure there would also be some template meta programming solution even if this syntax was available.
The one thing that would worry me here is the endianness e.g. is red the LSB or the MSB?

Also what happens to the padding (bits not covered by subfields)? How’s that going to look when shoved into a file or over a socket? how does the langage handle overflow (more bits in the bit fields than there are in the parent field)?
The wealthy, globally and locally, are responsible for most of the emissions but they're doing that by spending money on things that then cause poor people to drive trucks or tractors spewing toxins.

So everyone needs to stop doing the stuff we dont want to happen. Most of it we know is a long term money saver for the poor average joe. They just don't have the funds to invest in that up front.

This is what all the "just transition" stuff is about.
> Should I anonymously inform investors that my startup employer is a scam, and if yes, how should I approach it?

It's literally the investors' job to have figured this out
It depends on what else you’re doing. In this situation normal function would suffice in either C or Zig.
> Why so negative? It's a waste only if the value provided is less than the cost.

It is entirely true and it just takes an invalid input to trick them and it messes up easily and even worse when there are always biases involved. Thus the value is nullified.

And once that model breaks and doesn't work, what is the solution? More retraining on new data? Even with that like I said there are ZERO efficient alternatives, which the cost outweighs the benefits.

Therefore, it is not even worth it.
You can make more money in a five minute face to face conversation than you can in 6 months of internet marketing in some industries.

>>> When I say "no product" I literally mean it. It only exists on a powerpoint slide without a single line of code implemented.

It seems obvious to me that VC is part of the scam

>>> Should I anonymously inform investors that my startup employer is a scam, and if yes, how should I approach it?

I wouldn't but, if you decide to inform don't report to the VC, but the people/entities above this VC (could be another VC, funds, physical persons, etc).

Just be careful, it seems that you are looking through a very narrow window here.
Is it something I'd ever want to rely on third-party functionality for?
The main propagator in the US of the Chinese demographic collapse is Peter Zeihan, who may not be the best source here. Even if some of his predictions have been right wrt Europe, he tends to have and present unsourced information for anything Asia/China related.
Why do they keep hiring people if there is no product to build?
We did a similar analysis for GCP. Preemptibles/spot were the way to go with inference. CPU performance was also faster for our scaled inference workloads.

Times change though, we’re about to conduct the same analysis over again, with latest models better architected for accelerators.
ITER is mostly a colossal waste of money. Its just amazing how we spend that absurd amount of money on some fusion project when Europe hasn't even manage to make GenIV fission happen.

And in pure fusion research terms, having 100 smaller research project over that time period would have yielded far more results.

The technology relevant for fusion is evolving fast and ITER is already 2 technology generations behind.

But I agree with you, Europe has the capacity to invest if they get ideas in their head. But this space based solar I do not think has that broad a support base.

> The question which remains to be answered is whether or not cryptocurrency can solve problems that TradFi can't solve or can it solve them in a better way, or more efficiently, etc.

The Stellar Network (and to some extent Algorand) seems to be more efficient than the current system and they aim to work with it as their solution(s) works faster, globally and cheaply, hence why Moneygram chose Stellar for its new product and why Stripe removed Bitcoin payments and re-entered again until regulations were clearer and more cryptocurrencies were available.

Not all cryptocurrency technologies are the same.
I didn’t state a number of people making a living on social media. Some people are clearly making a fortune; how many people who are making a living off it, I don’t know. Enough so that I typically have no clue who some random Instagram, TikTok, or YouTuber with a million followers is.

Historically, new technologies create more jobs than they eliminate. Books used to be copied by hand, by the relatively few people who could read and write. The printing press eliminated a lot of the bread and butter scribe work.

Employers love finding ways to eliminate labor. Autonomous vehicles promise to eliminate millions of driving jobs. But eliminating labor is not an end, it’s a means to an end, which is increasing profitability - a function of productivity.

Employees have stayed ahead largely by boosting their productivity faster than labor saving technologies eliminated jobs. The same technologies which eliminate jobs tend to simultaneously increase the productivity of other jobs. Employment is at an all time high.

I have no idea what all the new jobs created around AI art and design tools will be. I presume it will create a new subfield of law. There will be new laws and regulations, regulators, some compliance burden on businesses (e.g., are they illegally exploiting unlicensed commercial content), auditors. There will probably be reviewers and editors for AI generated content. There will probably be considerable AI infrastructure, consultants, support personnel, administrators, AI model and data providers, annotation services.

For most office workers, the level of graphics and visual elements in reports will probably go way up. PowerPoint will be a distant memory, but expectations regarding presentation quality will seem insane by current standards.
