Having and expressing very strong opinions isn't necessarily bad. But it is advantageous to still be open to new viewpoints and ideas ("strong opinions weakly held" etc). You should also strive to be effective at communicating your views while still be able receive feedback and continue to refine the topic with others, and try to ultimately arrive at the ideal outcomes and/or "truth" (and ideally perhaps achieve consensus with the other party around it).. Which part do you have trouble with or want to improve? (it spans lots of topics incl humility, introspection, intelligence, empathy, communication etc.)

Having doctors in my family, the reports they hear from gynecologist colleagues are quite unambiguous. There are massive side effects from Covid vaccines.

The problem the medical profession has, is that most of them actually recommended the vaccine, even to people who were mostly not in danger from Covid infection.

However, I don't believe they will have the courage (from a personal, but mostly legal standpoint) to face the consequences of admitting the side effects publicly.
You’ll never see a Sabine post with equations in it. Make of that what you will.
Don't care about everything. However, if you care about something, care a lot.

Over the years I've learned not to care too much about things I don't control, I don't know much about, or that I consider an individual choice. On the other hand, about the few things I consider myself an expert in, I care a lot. I have very strong opinions, and I don't hesitate to express them.
Show HN: Tool that analyzes Ansible Playbooks and offers recommendations
Hats off to you for recognizing your challenge and seeking help. Everyone has a story to tell and several short stints doesn’t have to be a red flag. You can focus more on the value of those short stints (I.e. moments where you contributed to the teams you were on). Was there a particular reason why the short stints were short stints? You’d likely need a good reason but again, focusing on what you’ve done and why it makes sense of you to have moved on would be useful. For landing interviews, it might be worth experimenting with alternative routes (I.e meetups, networking, direct connections, blogs, contracting, etc).

Happy to have a further chat - I know folks who are looking to hire.
I use MATE. I'd like a better tv-tuner application, because that's a hole in FOSS, but I also can't stand the Kodi interface although I've have made many attempts to adopt it to my use case from back when it was XBMC. The Kodi interface is more annoying and difficult to navigate than a standard PC desktop with the font sizes bumped up used with remote keyboard/touchpad that is smaller than my remote.
Overfitted models do serve a purpose here though - particle physics has reached a point where you can't build models and theories on direct observation so instead the community is throwing a huge number of falsifiable overfitted models with the expectation that all but one or two will actually be confirmed experimentally. It's certainly a time consuming, expensive, non-ideal approach, but valid. The authors argument seems to be that this approach is too expensive and slow, and it's time to revisit original assumptions to develop a new approach.

intercom.com and mailchimp.com are two of the most famous SaaS and they are not sales driven.
The articles ties together things that do not need to be tied:

1) Enterprise SaaS is only a part of SaaS
Sales work better for Enterprise (big fishes) than for freelancer/small/medium businesses.
I heard this concept explained as "Hunt whales with spears and hunt small fishes with nets" in other words, Sales for enterprise and marketing scalable channels for small clients.

2) Sales !== Marketing channels
The book Traction talks about the many acquisition channels. Some channels are historically considered Marketing (example Content Marketing) and they are a way to acquire large quantities of customer cheaply
Some amount also of "pick your battles". If you're viewed as loathing anything that wasn't your idea, people will wonder about your motives. Save it for topics that matter.
It's somewhat common to hear from diabetics at my work that they slip into a diabetic coma regularly from this sort of thinking. It's rough, and definitely not better than a slightly high level.
Cloudflare gets it. I've spent time at Palo, Fortinet, and Zscaler and they're not driven towards the same end goal. The products are, and have been, frustrating for a number of reasons and while their customers can solve targeted problems ultimately none of these vendors have truly baked a formalized / unified, dare I say "platform" that Cloudflare has. I've recommended Clouflare many times since the early days and I'm constantly impressed by their engineering focus. Not everything is perfect, but I'd say they have a better finger on the pulse. They definitely have issues to address on the GTM strategy when working with large enterprise, but they'll figure that out in time. The products do a great job of representing themselves and I love the fact that a majority of their offerings aren't behind lock and key and/or a sales team.

Having strong options isn't necessarily bad, it's how they're expressed that can be detrimental.

One of (the?) original statements of "strong opinions, weakly held" (https://www.saffo.com/02008/07/26/strong-opinions-weakly-hel...) was to tear apart your own thought process, not express it as fact then expect others to do that for you.

When forming an opinion spending time to think it through personally is a good practice. Be conscious that when expressing it though others may not be coming from a background where they may be comfortable to counter. Just because you speak more or louder than someone else don't let that reinforce your existing stance, or force that to diminish theirs.
There's a gotcha with this change from Amazon Drive to "unlimited" Amazon Photos.

Looks like any camera roll items that are videos, not photos, cost storage.

It doesn't make much sense to attack an ally and - at worst - risk invoking article 5 against half the EU. Especially if the goal was already achieved.
The T4 program started in September 1939, same time as the war (in Europe), but the pilot was run in the summer. Considering the Nazis didn't think their invasion of Poland would turn into a general war, it's highly unlikely there's any relation between the two.
That must have been then completely early startups, web-focused? Even there cannot imagine how this could be.. just wow.

Yes, this is true, point taken, I wouldn't try and use that TV to do work. But, as a streaming machine, it is really awesome, I get a level of flexibility that Apple/Google/Fire TV would never allow. But I agree with you, it's not going to replace my desktop or my laptop any time soon.
Very cool project.

There were similar ones done with Perl:

All of these projects seem to be reaching for an integrated programming language / operating system like the Lisp machines of yore. It was before my time, so I never got to use one, but from what I have read, they were quite amazing to use.

Absolutely. The thresholds are even stricter in Yahoo. In my former life I had to set per-domain rate limits in all the mail servers in all our datacenters or customers could not receive emails. The only other option would have been to relay to email campaign providers which do the same thing I mentioned above however our customer contracts prevented using third parties.
Pretty impressive. What are you building for Coda? Is there a demand for it as I think their marketplace is relatively new.
IIRC Supersymmetry predicted one mass for the Higgs boson, String theory predicted a different mass, and the measured mass turned out to be in the middle.
If it is your area of expertise (actual expertise not “I read a bunch about it”) then I’d expect you to have strong opinions. Linus Torvalds without strong opinions on C would be really weird.

If it is not your area of expertise don’t have strong opinions as they’d likely be wrong.

This has interesting implications for politics.

Ask HN: I'm good at debugging and improving systems
Hey HN,

I enjoy debugging and optimizing systems and dare to say that I'm quite good at it. However, I'm generally bad at building things and take a long time to do so, I generally feel bad because of this.

In short, when building something I always feel like I've built something sub-optimal, while after debugging or improving performance of some subsystem I feel like I've accomplished something positive.

I'm thinking about telling my manager how I feel, but I'm not sure if there's a future for me in Software Engineering without the ability to create decent software.

Any recommendations, advice?

This right here.

Be strongly opinionated, but be comfortable with updating that opinion once you have new information.

Updating is the hard skill to master.

You have to be willing to separate ego from ideas and thoughts and be okay saying I was wrong or my idea/thoughts are no longer valid / the most accurate with this new information.

You also have to be willing to be curious and open to new information and counter points that will invalidate or weaken your opinion.

Be opinionated, debate like hell, but once new information is available be willing and okay with changing and updating your view if it makes sense.

Nah, that’s just talk. Doing something is cooperating with fascists (Lateran Pacts), supporting Catholic-Nazi regimes (Franco, Tiso, and many others), and helping Nazis evade justice (ratlines).
Save them for when they really matter. I have opinions about pretty much everything, but quite often nobody needs or wants to hear about them. So I try to say little, abut have strong conviction when I do. That way I find people stop and listen. If I have an opinion which is not strong, I'll get involve din the discussion, but more passively. But yeah, strong expression of strong opinions is saved for when it really matters!
It's easier to name languages without ergonomic bound checks: Assembler and C. They were done in STL for ages, but only in debug mode, which makes them useless, but it's not a technical problem.
> Now what if I asked you to set up your TV to do everything I do on my general purpose laptop or desktop computer? It would suck, plain and simple.

I don't understand the distinction you're trying to make between having an Intel NUC on my desk connected to a monitor and a keyboard, or having one mounted to the back of my television (or monitor placed in the room as if it were a television), and controlling it with my remote keyboard. They're both general-purpose computers, they both do exactly the same thing, the TV runs Debian Stable and my PC runs Debian Testing.
Ask HN: Tech Leads – How do you keep your issue tracker organized?
I recently joined a small team on a large company as a tech lead with a messy JIRA project. The team is good about capturing work, but outside of the basic default issue types, there is no system to organize issues or way to surface other facets of work, like feature requests, bug triage, refactors, investigations, just to name a few.

At the same time, JIRA has so many ways to organize these things and I don't want to overcomplicate it. A system that aims to keep it simple so it's easy to use and adopt feels best for a team of this size.

Searching online has yielded many "JIRA sucks!" type topics, but few opinionated takes on how to make it not suck. So I thought it'd be interesting to ask here if anyone has a preferred system or best practices they follow when organizing projects and work for teams.

Doom Remake with Stable Diffusion?

The root problem we have on the Internet now is anyone can scam anyone without repercussions. We need real identities online, and perhaps an international body that can prosecute crimes.
Widely reported where? Not on (german) TV. Not in the public discussion either.
In the US, at least, the government has been slow to acknowledge the root of the housing crisis. While simpler designs do build faster, the main impediment is municipal-level zoning controls that prevent the construction of denser housing. These codes often insist on non-brutalism, insomuch as they mandate certain materials, setbacks from the lot line, and other aesthetic intangibles, but their main purpose is to appease residents (voters) who generally wish to impede more people from moving to whee they currently live.
True, the fact they are based in Australia is the only reason I'm thinking about switching mail provider. Australian laws are scary.

You sound a bit like Urbit btw, not sure if appropriate ref though.
Well, if you paid attention, Doom 1 and 2 were "horror" too (the amount of "creatures from hell", mutilated bodies hanging around as decoration, enemies exploding into giblets of bloody meat etc. are pretty sure giveaways), but the technical limitations of the time prevented them from being as scary as Doom 3.
This is not flamewar. It’s not even a controversial statement.

The word you are looking for is “political correctness”. I have no problem with plural “you” prohibiting easily verifiable, but politically incorrect facts, but let’s not pretend it’s something else - have some guts and explicitly write it down in site rules instead of (repeatedly) pushing bullshit like this.

Step 1: Recognize that you are wrong. Everything you think you know is, at best, partial and incomplete. Certainty is a lie.

Step 2: Recognize that other similarly mistaken viewpoints exist. Everyone, everywhere, is wrong about everything to some degree.

Step 3: Recognize that functioning and advancing human civilization requires a bunch of mistaken (typically committed to remaining so) people directly and indirectly cooperating to varying degrees.

Step 4: Develop a sense of perspective. Almost everything that concerns you is wholly irrelevant on almost every other non-local scale.
Great work Leandro on this. You almost combined three platforms - Google Workspace, Notion and Google Sheets together to build this.

Were you ever worried of platform risk anytime while building this?
Also, what would you do differently if you had to start all over this again?
Exactly. Pick your battles / hills to die on
> Would you want a command line interface on your Smart TV using only a remote?

Kinda, if the remote had a useable keyboard (I think some do).

Mostly I would like a universal search: to be able to type the name of a show, channel, or other media source and have all relevant apps or TV functions that can play it come up. Also it would be cool to enter something like "seek MM:SS" to tell the current media to go to that precise point, and universal commands across all players/apps would be pretty keen, like "captions off", "language XXXX", etc. Just need a TAB key for autocomplete.
You're just making things up. Your "heavily customized UI" is bumping up the font sizes by a couple of points.

Security in Plan 9 (2002)
I have no idea what's on TV, but german public broadcasters certainly wrote about it, and almost certainly prompted by public discussion and informal polls on social media. Obviously a lot more anecdotally, given the lack of explicit studies, which (like the one here) presumably got kicked of by such reports.
I assume you're asking this because being 'too opinionated' got you into some trouble, maybe more than once. There is a key distinction between 'having' and 'expressing', and I might add a 3rd: 'forming'. The process of forming an opinion is often done via expressing a "wrong" opinion and getting corrected by others.

- Are you willing to change your opinion given new information or convincing arguments?
If not, you may have a trait that emphasizes rigidity. Searching around "rigid thinking" or "cognitive flexibility" terms might get you somewhere useful. Ultimately, it's something that CBT and DBT therapists focus on in therapy. They help you see opposite views of the same thing, and when you start to recognize that there are n valid perspectives on most situations. https://albertellis.org/2016/01/rigid-thinking-and-rational-... A purposeful therapy series (3-12 sessions) around some of your most conflicting issues can be an amazing investment.

- Are you expressing your opinions in times and places where others don't feel it's appropriate?
This is a filter issue. Executive function, which can be impaired by disorder, distraction, and drink, is the part of your brain that help you control when you blurt things out. There are lots of different approaches to fixing different causes executive impairment, but the goal is the same for all cases: teach yourself to say less. Learning to listen is a big part of that, but active listening is expensive. If you feel like you NEED to say something but its not an appropriate time or setting to do so, try intentional breathing instead. It works really well in my experience when I remember to do it.

- Are your opinions wrong?
Read more and listen more before you share.

- Are you hanging out with the right people?
Probably not. If you're trying to make yourself less opinionated, you might be surrounded with people that just can't keep up with you. It's REALLY OKAY to express strong opinions about stuff with people who fundamentally accept and value you. And it's really great if someone else has a strong opinion, opposing opinion and you can debate the truth with them enthusiastically. There are people out there that are safe to be your self and share your whole self with, it's just a matter of finding them and building trust together.

I think I stumbled across this, but I was in grade school and without another spiral-bound reference to make sense of it, it just looked like gibberish to me. I was still a little way off from learning the benefits of "structured programming" for easier debugging and tweaking, so long piles of BASIC was my limit at the time.
