I can really empathize with this struggle.

>As a listener, are you agreeing with this or are you neutral nodding your head?

The "trick" I do is to try to set aside whatever train of thoughts I might have had before the person spoke to me, and try to imagine that the thing they talk about is happening to me. And then, voice my reaction to that. So if someone told me that "I'm fearful for my job. I think I might be fired soon", the first that comes to mind is "Oh my god, that's horrible! Why do you think that happens? Have they hinted about this before?"

Now, this maybe works a handful of times in the conversation. A second thing that you can do is trying to imagine the relations of the thing that just got told to you. By relations, I mean relating to anything, how it connects to anything: the speaker's environment, life circumstances, your shared universe, anything. Continuing the example above: "The timing is such a shame, given what's going on in your life, I would have liked it that at least the job is stable".

Third thing, you could discuss the persons possible actions and reactions to the event, and how others in their life have, or will have taken it. Continuing: "Do you have anything else lined up, just in case?" "Could your side gig support you until you find another job?" "How did your spouse take the news?"

And the fourth thing, it's always worth thinking about WHY the other person told you the thing they did. What are you to this other person? A friend? Colleague? Are you their superior? Spouse? Do you relate, in a way, to the thing that they told you? Are you maybe a recruiter, and that's why they tell you that they are fearful for their job? The answers to these questions can bring you closer to your natural response to the situation.
What an amazing innovation using a simple trigger!
This. I’m not sure what Lemonade does differently from other insurers than providing a nicer UI.

They likely also have lower costs due to eliminating the middle men whose job is to translate text on the screen into words spoken to a customer.

So their lower costs could actually be legitimate.
I think thoughtful people say wait staff not waiters in that example.

I am not on the side of turning technical terms like master/slave male/female blacklist/whitelist into ridiculous manufactured crimes, but that particular example doesn't actually work I think.
Yea, maybe Google has people that can camp out on a roof to "rest and vest" like in the tv show Silicon Valley, but every startup I've ever worked for had half or a third as many developers and every other position (even sales, HR, etc.) as would be required to do the jobs properly.

Maybe it's good if the BigCo's get hit hard in a recession, so some of the startups that do stuff other than advertising can get some of those sweet, sweet "10x programmers".

I still feel very bad for all those laid off, I've been laid off 2 times in the past 3 years due to startups closing and that probably isn't the end of it for me either.

Are we sure that it's healthy?

I mean within reason I'm sure it's fine.

But we probably all know people who complain about the same things incessantly, with no desire to change them. And at some point it's reasonable to decide if those are people who you really want to continue to invest time into.
I think they're valid points. A lot of people argue that it's easier than ever before just because the costs are lower, without factoring in many other crucial aspects like timing, competition, and so on.
> True, but from my perspective the career oriented people don't actually care about that stuff or solving problems. In my mind, the people I would label as career oriented are usually pretentious assholes preoccupied by the "status" of someday being in the C suite and driving the most expensive BMW/Tesla.

My guess is they want to charge an outrageous amount of money for the app, and having it 'prescribed' is part of that. They'll charge insurance companies.

>less healthy is to use high-oleic sunflower oil or olive oil or avocado oil, and the least healthy is to use classic sunflower oil, corn oil, soy oil or sesame oil, like in this study.

Most vegetable oils are linoleic. It is only recently that high oelic cooking oil has become a thing. I'm not aware of how prevelant it is in china. And of course olives and avocados are not vegetables. The study actually represents what vegetable oil is pretty well. The data go back to when HO vegetable oils were not a thing, and I speculate they are still not a thing in china, though I may be wrong. The title is still a bit misleading given that the study is more specific than the conclusion but I think you are overstating the dgree to which that is the case.
For all the very justifiable shit "Agile" gets, this is what the original "Agile manifesto" agile was supposed to prevent, right? Deliver something early, so you (customer and devs both) learn more quickly what's missing and what will never actually be needed.

If you're doing SaaS you can measure exactly how much server is used by each customer. If you choose not to, that's your problem.

And servers do not have to be coarse. They come in all sizes.

In particular I want an explanation of how servers are less direct then the wages of production staff. You can measure output similarly, and you can scale your number of servers much faster than you can scale your number of staff.

I kept subscribing to newsletters and not getting the confirmation emails. Turns out they were in my spam folder, because I forward my email from a custom domain to my gmail account, and that means SPF checks always fail.

I found for my own newsletter, sending from my verified domain solved the problem for forwarded emails, despite the fact that my marketing provider (ConvertKit) says not to send from your own domain until you're sending to 5000+ subscribers. I did a lot of research on how SPF, DKIM and DMARC work to understand why things were breaking and why marketing email providers seem to be all over the map on whether they suggest you use a verified domain and when.

Figured it was worth sharing, let me know what you think.

> is it even "malpractice" when you're not a doctor?

Also malpractice is a tort, not a crime. You can sue over it, but the state does not prosecute it. This came up in the case of Christopher "Dr. Death" Duntsch [0]. He ended up being prosecuted for "aggravated assault with a deadly weapon" but it was maybe the first(?) time that assault had been used for medical malpractice.

I wonder if we have conditioned clients to expect everything now. Are we harming our own customers by allowing them to make demands that in turn only harm themselves in the long run?

Do we have too much of a revolving door for an organization to see this trend?
The extreme whiteness of modern Europeans is thanks to the Gulf Stream, which was not necessarily working at the same level of intensity in the distant past, especially during periods of glaciation. As such, the skin color we should expect to see in Britain, for much of the Ice Age, would be a level of brown on par with people who live in the far north of eastern Eurasia -- think Mongolians and American-Indians.

$60 million project somebody's paying you to do? there's no way that this project doesn't have heavy requirements on their end too, and the trick to managing a project like this is to make sure that every time you meet the client that they have milestones/deliverables to present to your team also. They will be late, as you are, but now you got them to ask for deadline extensions.
It sounds like you were working on the project without enough contact with users to understand the value of the thing you were building.

That doesn't sound like it's your fault!
Well, ok, I guess we can use that as a justification for anything then. For example, the “good reason not to” use E2E for ntfy could be “market analysis says the small and somewhat theoretical benefit isn’t worth the complexity.”
Similar to correcting a big shot's mistaken notion, where you might say something like "Curiously, that turns out not to be the case."

Terrible how people are used like this by those in power.
Presumably you're conveying the results of your research, which means new facts are on the table that the "mismanagers" weren't previously aware of. They assigned you that research work presumably because they wanted to know those facts. Now that you're showing up with useful information, they can go back and deliver an even better estimate of the project than they had before.

If you show up and are like "hey idiots, you fucked up the estimate, man you're dumb" then, sure, people will react negatively. If you show up and say "you were right that we needed to look into this more; we found 9 months of work we hadn't incorporated into the plan" then they're going to have a lot of work to do, but they probably aren't going to be unhappy about being in a position of higher certainty.

To some extent, it's not really different from what engineers do. Are you mad when there's a production outage? No. You just debug it and mitigate it. Project planning is no different; new facts are on the table, and the plan has to change. Changing the plan is a lot of work, and that's why project management is a dedicated profession. They can now go do their job better with the data that you collected. No reason to be mad.
And one of the scientists involved in that study says they don't know the skin colour...

No, you (the individual) do not lose any of your rights. However, the manifestation of a corporate entity should not generate a new right-bearing entity.
I get only one vote - making Me, Inc. should not provide me a path to be represented twice - as though to cast a second vote.
Money is not speech. This is tge court's error. Treating a thing as though it's a different thing or concept than what it is breaks everything and is quite literally insane. Else, with my free speech, I ought to just act as a mint. Either my self-generated fiat is now legal tender or actual, government-minted legal tender is already spoken for and means something precise, distinct from the transaction where it purportedly speaks.
A group of people can speak and transact - the solution to this dilemma is recognizing that a corporation is still full of individuals with unhindered rights, but no trickery allows those individual rights to be replicated - only represented.

Basecamp's Shape Up product framework: why we reshaped it
When we joined YC (S21) we were lost about which product framework we should use.

We tried Basecamp's one (Shape Up). Made a lot of mistakes.
We pivoted in March, put our initial product in the trash, and re-shipped a new product in 3 months, and now have users in production.
We also convinced CTOs from series C companies with millions of users to choose us over incumbents.

The typical bad symptoms at the time were:
- Too many things under a single feature
- A feature from a competitor is discovered while our own feature is developed. The specification is changed to adjust the product positioning, while the engineers sit still
- Engineers uncover unexpected challenges during the delivery and the spec needs to be rewritten
- The initial goal is re-adapted and reduced

Since then, we’ve spent time perfecting our product delivery framework and went much faster this time.

We open sourced it here: https://www.getlago.com/blog/how-we-ship-fast-our-framework

With the templates for each step: roadmap, scoping, specification, tech dive-in, delivery cockpit.

Hope it's useful!
Just go there and proselytize to people. They will stop inviting you then.
As someone who worked in Craig's org, I can assure you that there is plenty of non-"hardcore" engineering going on (whatever that means, anyway). Plenty of bullshit.

Plenty of incredibly smart, creative people (engineers and managers both), too.
if it isn't an app, then is apple giving them OS level permissions or is this a fork of iOS? then would this be getting slower update releases than iOS?

i don't see why they couldn't just do this with an app aside from trying to make more money selling devices w it already installed.

Oof. Had a similar experience on the other side quite a few years ago. I had recently started a job where my new employer had been working with a contractor on their "next gen" web application for 4 years and it was nowhere near production ready.

To weeks into the new gig, I looked at my boss and expressed to him that it was a failed project and it needed to be canned. I got the "are you kidding me, we've already got millions tied up in this project."

Fast forward, 2 years went by and it's still not production ready. I was then asked to take over the project to help save it. I politely declined, knowing my limitations, to which I got the "this is limiting your career" speech.

Another year went by (7 years into the project) to which the contractor said they needed yet another year.

After hearing that news, I took on a skunkworks project that basically reimplemented the core of the project. After I demoed it, the contractor was canned a month later. 9 months later, the fresh project went to production for the phase 1 release.

FTX Token, FTT down by more than 80% in less than 24 hours
This sounds really great. Checking things out today :-)
An organization entrenched with managers like this is not salvageable. There's no "right" way to fix organizational rot this extensive from the bottom up. The organization has evolved into a parasite that exists only to suck assets out of other companies, and the management exist only to suck assets out of the company they purport to manage.

Don't waste your time playing political games and undermining incompetent management trying to "fix" massive organizational rot from the bottom up. Your reward is going to be negligible at best relative to your effort, and it's more likely you'll be punished instead. Go start your own company, or work for a small company where you can make a massive and positive difference - and get massively rewarded for it.

The skill of reading a room in this particular case - is to realize the kind of place this is and go elsewhere before going through all that effort for it be disregarded by bruised egos, not do even more unnecessary work to bail out incompetent managers.
Curious from someone with more knowledge. Given some of the results from the war in Ukraine, what's the latest viewpoint on tanks in modern warfare?

All I can say is I would rather be an infantryman than a tank operator. Seems way too easy to be a sitting duck given the effectiveness of anti-tank missiles. Honestly I don't really understand the need for manned tanks in any case. Why couldn't they just be operated remotely, and then put your actual soldiers in more nimble forms of transport?
Show HN: Literal, generate app map with analytics/network calls for iOS/Android
Hi!

I'm a long-time Android dev and shorter-time iOS dev. I work on this cool project called Literal (https://www.literal.ai/devs).

Demo available without any signup requirement: https://literal.ai/hn

You can upload your own app recording or use a sample of the Calm app. Literal will map out the screens on an interactive canvas.

I built Literal, because I often field a lot of questions from PMs and other folks about what the new app release looks like. I used to send out screenshots in Slack and manually document analytics events as well as what APIs were hit. Other times, I needed feedback and final approval for what I spiked on. Worse, I was often blocked by missing assets or pending copy.

This was a huge pain and such a huge waste of time. Now I work on Literal which makes it incredibly easy to share a picture of the app flows to my team.

If you include the SDK as a debug dependency, you can record an app flow and get the analytics and network calls overlaid on screens. No manual screenshots or documenting needed. No messing around with Figma or Lucid either.

You can ping folks in Slack or Jira with some default integrations. This helped me avoid so many back and forth meetings. More dev time - yay.

Looking for feedback on the experience and how well the SDK works for you (Android / iOS devs). It's free!

PS: Mobile devs - don't worry, no need to add the SDK to the production release.
