I found the agile practice of estimating a task's complexity along a Fibonacci scale (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13) and then multiplying it by a conversion factor based on my proficiency (or familiarity with the code base) has worked best for me—since clients aren’t typically familiar with agile methodologies!

For example, let’s say I’m working on an app and estimate task A as having a complexity of 5. Because I was the primary author of the app, I use a conversion factor of 2 hours/complexity unit, yielding a time estimate of 10 hours.

The idea here is to leverage the fact that engineers have a better grasp of complexity, while business stakeholders can only appreciate time.

Keep track of your estimates over time and you can adjust the conversion factor accordingly (higher, lower, or even using days instead of hours) for more accurate predictions going forward.
Plenty of flights in the US are BYOD already. You connect to the WiFi and have access to a website (on a laptop) or it's in their app on mobile. And it has video on demand served locally from the plane. It's airline edits with watermarks but a good enough selection I wouldn't expect most people to pay for Internet for streaming.

And on top of that all the major streaming services allow for download for offline viewing. I'm just going to download a bunch of stuff ahead of time to make sure I can watch what I want.

This just serves the folks who want to pay to access the rest of the Internet. And I don't see incentive for anyone to pay and try to use a streaming service. More useful for someone traveling on business needing to join a call or something.
I can survive almost a full working week on 5-6 hours a night, but will need a long sleep-in on the weekend to recover. This isn't ideal and not what I aim for, just what I've noticed.

Up until my late 20's / early 30's I'd get headaches and be a grump the very next day on less than 6 hours of sleep. I'm glad I'm past that, so I'm not immediately ruined by one bad night, but still need the eternal discipline for maintaining a routine for long term health.
$20k is not worth bothering for a VC (if that is all you need, get a bank loan or "FFF" round - friends, family & fools). $1m might.
This is why I'm sticking with pure vps/dedi providers - they'll give you fixed monthly costs per instance, plus network transfer, which is usually free below some threshold (unlike the Big Three). If you know what you are doing, you can negotiate fixed price two/three years in advance and get a discount.

There is an initial setup cost, but maintenance is usually cheap if you put things in place correctly, automate everything and put proper monitoring system (not the cloud version, of course).
The main problem isn't growth or the lack of it - it's generally decreased welfare of older people because there's no family member or caregiver to periodically check up on them and recognize early signs of deteriorating health - especially mental health.

Yes, CA has a budget surplus. It also has constitutional spending limits that prevent the use of the surplus and this prop partially circumvents those spending limits.

No, CA has a regressive tax system (considering sales tax and low property taxes for generational wealth and corporations). The generational wealth component was recently addressed, but was accompanied by another property tax break for the rich.
Just to be clear, I wouldn't remove the label on mobile entirely but just not make it fixed. In the sense of putting it inside the scroll container.

I only had time before to test it on mobile on my commute. Having seen the desktop version now I understand your concern. Maybe there is a way to just reduce the size of the information a bit but still keeping it structurally as is? I also think that most people can identify the source of the information just based on how it is structured (longer texts for wikipedia, youtube/twitter/reddit with its own branding, etc.) but we would need more opinions on that.
> "Directed to reduce" Cloud spending.

That feels like it should be 100%.

An engineer should be as aware of their $ costs as they are their CPU load, filesystem I/O, or memory usage. An engineer should know how many instances they scaled to, and when they're going to scale down.

In fact, the $ cost should be calculable (to a reasonable indicative amount by napkin math - precision not necessary) according to the factors the engineer knows.

Not being aware of the costs feels irresponsible on the part of the engineer. There was a time when we had finite capacity (a single server) and perhaps the engineer had to care less about the cost then (but perhaps they should've cared about utilisation by some measure even then)... but now we're in an age of your application being able to scale beyond reasonable bounds of your companies purse strings, a solid understanding of what your application costs is an essential and core skill. If this is not the game you wanted to play, stay on a VPS or VM.

Anyone possessing a solid understanding will also be looking to reduce or halt their spending... hence, I am surprised the number in the headline is not higher, even ignoring the macro-economic picture.

It does not imo but also seems like a cheap way to back a possibly asymmetric group. The valuation is not the hurdle for investors, as they will have seniority (likely with a multiplier) in any liquidity event.

Well, you get a new child, and then you discover that yes, you can have 4-5 hours of sleep each night and then still go to work and do chores and spend time with your partner and do everything else. Children really make you discover things about yourself that you wouldn't think possible :P
Tags are beautiful. They enable a non-hierarchical way of linking elements together so they form a graph. And graphs are beautiful. But they are also messy and bring a whole cohort of problems that you wouldn't have with trees.

The problem with tags is that they are the first and often only metadata available to represent the complex relationships between elements. So everything goes in it: tags for the semantic (ontology is rabbit hole in itself), tags for relations with other items, and not forgetting the tags project management (priorities, people, milestone,...).

Want to empower your tags, for instance adding hierarchy or dynamic tags? Then every tag will get these features and associated problems. A solution would be to have tags of different "types", each processed differently, and migrate the metadata from a "bag of tags" to "a bag of bags of tags". But then tagging wouldn't be as simple writing a name in a field.
I know it's done this way to be consistent with the other use-case pages, but it seems really interesting to show a proposition for which only very few people could actually seriously consider, yet anyone can register their interest; pretty neat.

Your comment shows just why people don't trust anything any more. Anything that you don't agree with is an enemy by the tone of your message, and dismissing any other opinion except the one that you hold by labelling it as "so called debates".

Covid fatality is also age stratified. Besides, you might get it, you might not get it. The vaccines were mandated and people were made to get them to keep their jobs or to live their lives. People have different risk tolerance so it's normal that everyone out there has a different opinion.

Reminds me of how much worse siri is getting every year, where it bit flips what I say to the opposite. Makes me think they're using ML models for everything which never gets anything right with %99.9 accuracy. "Hey siri turn off the bedroom lights", "Ok, turning on the bedroom". Recently tried alexa again with an old echo dot and it worked way better with basic things like I remembered it. Super sad.

No it doesn't. It rewards people with the social skills to know when it's acceptable to use certain words that aren't acceptable in other contexts. But that's just a part of 'society rewards people with high levels of social skills'. If your experience has been that successful people (i.e., 'people who were rewarded by society') don't swear, then your experience has been very different from mine.

Bad analogy. The "fullness" of space behaves in a way that's precisely unlike those 'common sense' scenarios.

Collisions are the limiting factor in this domain. If you're not considering collisions, you're not accurately capturing the idea of "fullness."
Different capacity batteries, different thermal designs (cooler, thermal mass, fans), different drivers (can be tuned to prefer performance/battery), different firmware, different hardware (vrm components, power stages, etc)

The "specs" for Intel in particular are really just guidelines. The turbo boost feature of the cpu is supposed to be limited to a limited number of cores for a limited amount of time.

Motherboard manufacturers can and do ship board with bioses configured to turbo boost the max frequency on all cores simultaneously and will try to do as long as it can until it starts thermally throttling.

For desktops with a much bigger power and thermal budget it basically just makes the motherboard look potentially better than competitors in lazy benchmarks.

But in laptops.. bigger battery is kind of the bottom line.

Disabling turbo boost via power management policies can make a surprising difference in battery life and thermals as well (personally I've seen ~20c cooler under load 50c vs 70c)

Software choices can help as well. Proper gpu accelerated video decode in a web browser in linux is still spotty.

Oems tune their hardware for different use cases, its not just marketing.

In some cases they have to make tradeoffs. I recall Acer in particular releasing one of the new gaming laptops that underperformed compared to similar laptops with the same CPU/GPU config. It came down to getting the price they wanted and the beefier cooler design it should have was what got sacrificed.

Chip shortage and recession sucks. laptops were finally getting to the holy grail territory. Reasonably sized, acceptable gaming performance (play pretty much anything as long as you make some reasonable compromises in settings) and sub $1000.

Edit- screen type and refresh rate can make a big difference. AMOLED I think is the one that displaying a black screen draws significantly less power than a white one as black pixels are just off, whereas the others there's still a backlight behind the pixel.

What food, apart from fruit and a few vegetables looks nice and edible in its raw state?
I live in a dense city near Amsterdam. My home does not yet have a fiber for high bandwidth connection. However, I found myself content with the 300 Mbps line supplied by cable. A typical 4K video stream is about 25Mbps of bandwidth. So, for households 300Mbps is plenty for now. What is nicer is reliability of the connections and the latencies. If fiber could bring any benefits there, I'd be happy to pay up.

How is Starlink in terms of latency?

After reading the article, something along the lines of
"Insecure EBT cards and bad fraud detection leave the poor disproportionately vulnerable to card skimming".

I too didn't read the title and jump directly to security issues in EBT cards, and also theres a whole import piece about officials saying"no fraud" and police not following up that isn't referenced in the original title.

Around 10 years ago Logitech sold solar-powered wireless keyboards (maybe they still do). They were pretty nice, and not having to deal with wires or batteries ever is something I miss now that I've switched over to mechanical keyboards.

Hopefully the "make everything solar powered" idea catches on at some point. I feel like solar-powered phones and tablets with e-ink displays should exist by now.
Standard commercial unit, no clue. It happens as you say, with sun shining directly in front, especially when passing under bridges or when another vehicle passes the sun (but not in your lane). The stark difference of direct sunlight and long shadows triggers it the most.

Wow. So apparently it makes more sense for a church to create tons of plastic waste (not to mention cost) instead of scaling down or simply foregoing the mass ritual, letting the priest do it for the flock. I’d like to understand how this can be reconciled with taking care of “all of creation”. And what have pre-packages portions even to do with the ritual?

OP didn't say anything about Russian Navy specifically. However, do you suggest that Russian Navy couldn't use Novorossiysk for military purpose if need be?

> While technically true, there is a big difference between the Estonian/Latvian border, and the Ukrainian one. I discussed this 7 months ago

Well, Russia is now getting additional 1,340 km border with a new NATO member (real, not imaginary one like Ukraine) and is apparently completely unfazed by it. In fact they continue to move military from that border into Ukraine. Really makes you think whether they were really worried about spooky-scary NATO or pursuing some other goal in Ukraine all along...

Regarding other analysis from your comment - this is not WW2, nobody is tank-rushing capital of nuclear superpower via highways lol.

EDIT:
Also, I've re-read comment you referenced again and for a person with a lot of "defense consultant"-related buzzwords in profile you seem to be awfully poorly informed about European history. "Keep in mind this is a country who's arguably most important holiday commemorates the war where they lost 25+ million lives fighting off an invasion from a hostile alliance on their western border." is either intentional manipulation or pure ignorance because USSR _were_ part of the alliance and were happy to divide Poland and massacre its people at the beginning of WW2. They like literally started the whole thing themselves, but miscalculated with choosing their allies!

Not fidelity in rate of time. Fidelity in total duration of time.

Just like humans have trouble imagining/seeing large spans of space (hence the necessity of size enlargement), humans also have trouble extrapolating to long spans of time (hence the necessity of using actual collisional evolution simulations, not "guesstimating" based on pictures or animations).

The size enlargement effect makes the "guesstimate" tend to overestimate, and the time duration compression effect makes it tend to underestimate. From the start the whole thing is fundamentally a bad method of "guesstimation," but for some reason people tend to quickly raise the former issue and completely overlook the latter.
It sounds like you are only talking about a large VC backed tech startup as a "good opportunity", which is a pretty narrow perspective.

Most cities in the world do not provide fiber to the home to every person. By far.
Photons, by definition, exhibit both properties of waves and particles. But here too a clear definition of particle is lacking. Physicists say photons are quanta, and use quanta and particles as synonyms. Photons have zero mass so they don’t have a finite radius as miniture billard balls. So, we have no idea what Victor sends. By convention he sends “particles” and we are forbidden to ask how this word particle is defined. A good example showing that physics is done by authority.
This also means engineers need to be given the means to do so. From my experience, most engineers are not given the very basics to change things, observe important metrics and metric changes, and take the time to formulate a strategy.

In theory most places are running with slack. In practice they run under capacity, and engineers aren't going to worry about things out of their control.
Parker I have literally given the links to my website, my twitter, my linkedin and my github, and all of his.

My username has been @goforbg everywhere on the internet including the domain name.

I really don't know what else to show you. All I have to say is this, I created this tool. I wanted to launch it on HN. I posted the link of the hn thread on my facebook, twitter and whatsapp status.

I did NOT ask him to come comment here.

MC naveen actually did try out the product during the producthunt launch and had given me some valid feedback and bug fixes, so I think that's why he commented here.

If you think we're the same person or that I made him comment or it's a couple of fake profiles I have nothing else to show you except the products we've built online and our github contributions.

I'm going to stop replying beyond this because I feel it's insulting me and making me feel bad for something I did not do.

It’s also completely unsurprising: it’s very easy to grow a small PAT-based tool into a large PAT-based system, Apps is a significant overhead for a small too, and the migration path is not simple.

And things get a lot worse when trying to create automation for your company, as your now need to involve the organisation owners / admins in order for them to set up and configure the GHA via a fun game of Simon Says.

It's the job of a manager to understand how to "grow" an employee. It's the job of the employee to convey that in a sensible way to the manager. That's what one on ones are for.

One of two things will emerge. The employee has strengths which can be used to benefit both parties (employer and employee) and can be grown which creates a career path. Or the employees strengths are of no use to the company and they part ways amicably.

This is the sensible way to product growth and trying to shoehorn someone into an unsuitable position is damaging to the company and the employee.

> False. If it's a problem for PV it's a much worse problem for existing nuclear plants.

There's basically unlimited quantities of uranium in sea water. Plus you can breed it from thorium if you want to.

> But once you include all the concrete and steel and low level waste that needs decades of storage it's about the same size as a 4hr battery for the entire country.

I highly doubt it but I'd love to see the math on that.

The author of the report I linked concludes that fission cannot be main power source of the future because of the limits of mineable uranium. However he completely ignores the ocean as a source of uranium, which is basically inexhaustible. We don't get it from there today because demand is low and it's cheaper to get it from the ground but ocean uranium capture has been demonstrated.

Solar panels by themselves don't require a lot of rare material but they do require tons of high heat and carbon to "bake". A large part of how cheap they are today is due to the fact that they are made using coking coal in China. But of course the material constraints of the storage needed for solar/wind is the main obstacle. Until we demonstrate cheap storage at scale, wind/solar won't cut it.
I mean its a pretty personal thing - similar to most moral beliefs. At the end of the day it mostly comes down to "I believe what i believe about purpose because i believe it"
