Ask HN: Taking which online or offline courses have humbled you?
By humbling I don't mean in a negative way; rather in a way that made you really appreciate the subject by giving you a new mental model by rewiring your brain.

For me:

Programming Languages A, B and C by Prof Dan Grossman on Coursera.

It taught me the inter relations between different programming paradigms and how to pick up new programming languages. More clearly what to look for in the documentation to form a working mental model of a new programming language.
For me:

(1) Recognize that if I'm struggling to focus, I'm probably either (a) not interested in what I'm doing or (b) have too much on my plate.

(2) If I'm struggling to focus day after day, find something else to do.

(3) If I have too much on my plate, insist that my employer lighten the load or, once again, find something else to do.

It's not easy. Taken to its logical conclusion, I'm suggesting quitting jobs that aren't interesting or demand too much multitasking in favour of those that are mostly interesting and allow you to do one thing at a time.

That's sooooo much easier said than done.

But for me, it's the only thing that works. Yes, I meditate, keep studious notes and lists, make use of project management software, take my medication... and all of that definitely helps. But it's not enough. I've found there's no solution to getting me to be productive in a job I hate, am not interested in, or demands too much and sets me up for failure. There's not enough medication or self-help in the world for that.

How much time I spend on HN is a great barometer for it. If I find myself struggling to stay off HN and do the task in front of me, I have to first look at myself and see if I'm doing all the things I know that help. And if those things aren't enough, then I know the problem is the job. And jobs don't change. Only people do.

So if your job sucks, find a new one as soon as possible. That's what I usually do, anyway.
reddit.com/r/fatFIRE is a subreddit for rich people talking about rich people things and a surprisingly interesting resource.
I do love it but please add L/R buttons for the touch controls!
Why is that a counterexample? Isn’t the comment above saying that harm at low levels isn’t really known?
Precisely why I asked the OP if they had an example of such a system, I even gave an example. How was that not clear?

"a process that would take 10ms under the following conditions [a,b,c] now takes 9ms?"
I think that's this bullet:

* Don’t waste time on your website design (but do write)

Specifically, "do write". Your writings will be way more accessible than conference talks.

He also may mean "don't sponsor or have booths at conferences or conventions". I personally find them valuable for connections but you don't need to attend them to make sales.
Mine comes next month - about $4,000 out of the class action - because through the 70s-90s, Wolverine dumped contaminated leather scraps and chemical drums in a swamp uphill of the well I've been drinking from for more than a decade. Now every well in town has 50-200 mg/L of PFAs.

It's only $4,000 because the court saw clear evidence that the value of my home was damaged, but couldn't assign damages based on an increased risk of cancer; I would have had to actually get cancer to sue successfully for damages there.
I'm in a similar position, but have also learned that I can't do everything all at once. If I see something I'm interested, of course I bookmark it, but I prioritize the projects/ideas I feel would be useful in the short term vs long term.

Then I let em go for a little while before doubling back. Once I have some free time, I'll take a shot at one of em. It's important to avoid overwhelming yourself. It's okay to let things simmer for a while before you come back to them, or even forget about them entirely and "re-discover" the things you've already read later on.
I believe you can just ignore that error. The cell ran.
Yes I think SCOTUS is acting in bad faith. I do not believe this to be a radical point of view in this day and age. There is some navel gazing about how SCOTUS is the final say here so what they say "is right", in some sense, of course.
What worries me is that these companies are either owned by Google, Microsoft or Meta and maybe few other big corporations.

I think these take overs shouldn't be allowed. These corporations are already too big.

We should have true competition, not fake one.

Most of these big corporations then are owned by the same investment funds and they sit in the same organisations like WEF that are shaping their direction, that is not necessarily aligned with common people interests, but rather to advance billionaire goals.

I think these big corporations should be properly taxed, the same way as small and medium businesses are and that tax money could be used to seed corporations that could actually form true competition and also being independent.
yes, I'm talking about scraping.

Google drives massive amounts of traffic to web publishers. It's carving out a bit for itself here and there with things like e.g. weather and answers to common questions, but they still drive a ton of traffic, and that's why (pretty much the only reason) the websites tolerate it.

Just because a text on a website is "public", it doesn't mean you can copy it and plug it into your product. Nothing is "free" by default, many publishers have a deal with Google what can and cannot be used by Google, specified by robots.txt or in search console.
I think we also need to have a global alert system that somehow works independently on any political or other friction. It should organized to be resilient, tamper proof and transparent. If we are really serious of avoiding major population declines from future (eventually also more virulent) pandemics and consider our selves "civilized" rather than expendable biomass this is a fundamental social organization breakthrough we must achieve.

Sounds like someone else did make the choice for Linus, even if it could have been overruled.
I think just dropping the free accountability statement would help. It's not so much the lack of responsibility, it's the accompanying false humility that annoys people.

Or even better, back your words with actions. Like the Nintendo executive team did a decade ago.
Leave always in good. As you said, small enough field always means "you'll meet more than once.

I wouldn't say because of XXX. I would tell them some personal reasons, like "want to develope myself..." "some personal changes happend.. and ..."

I really liked the display settings built-in to MacOS, very straightforward.

Unfortunately, with Ventura, they now hid the arrangement in a separate options window that takes extra clicks to reach. A step backwards :/
Ask HN: How do you balance support and sprint tickets?
Our DevOps/SRE team has been trying to do Scrum for over a year but the sprints are always derailed by support work.

They've tried to add support tickets to the sprint as they come in, but that changes the sprint scope and renders the "velocity" metrics useless.

They've tried to exclude support tickets from the sprint and keep the scope very small. Some weeks it works, other weeks they overdeliver by a lot (because there were fewer support tickets and they got a lot of tickets from the backlog).

I'm thinking Scrum is useless for that team but management insists all engineering teams must use scrum.

Do you have any advice for managing tasks in a team that has support/adhoc and project tickets?

> We merely claim that a function exists which returns some element from the set.

Isn't this where the challenge lies, though?

What if you have a set for which there is no function which returns some element from the set, but the set is non-empty?
The language exists, but yes, I was astounded as well to see it this frequent.
In that case you’re working for deel and deel is contracting you out to the hiring company.

Companies can fire you/lay you off without even any of the mediocre protections you get under US law.

I’m not sure how deel handles this situation with employees in countries with stricter worker protections. Do they require the company to pay severance, do they include that in their fees?

I suspect that they are operating in a gray area because no one is really looking.
What's the total ROeI (return on energy invested) to engineer, build, deploy any piece of renewable? Multiple decades. What is is with nuclear? A day? A few weeks at most?

That's why I point out the physics bit. This isn't about the cost, this is about being able to generate energy, not just try to build what is in essense a perpetual motion machine.
I'm not sure you've shown anything. f(x) = x + 1 is a mapping from the reals to the reals. A choice function, with respect to the axiom of choice, is a mapping from the set to an element.
> If I can accept that there are more reals than reals with finite descriptions, why can't there be integers without finite descriptions/positions?

Because the integers are defined as the finite successors to the number 0 and their additive opposites. See, for instance, the construction section of: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer

You can start talking about numbers that can't be constructed in this way, but then you've ceased to be talking about the integers.
I’m personally tired of scientists who “address it” by dutifully calling out some subset of the problematic aspect of their approach, and then go ahead and publish low-quality results for the headline.

An analogy for this one could be saying something like “I know it sucks when people say unkind things, but I think you’re stupid.” Acknowledging the problem does nothing to prevent it or resolve it. It just means at some level the person knows what they’re doing is wrong, and they aren’t self-disciplined or integrated enough to stop.

It burdens the (numerous) other parties with the effort, in the same way scientific results like this do.
The EV Transition Explained: Reshaping Labor Markets
Meh. It's an evolutionary response to overpopulation. Or a response to the increasing devaluation of males in the west. Or exposure to environmental xenoestrogens and toxins.
There's probably no one answer to the problem any more than there is to physical birth defects; sometimes it happens; you only have to worry when they start clustering.
Also, if people are rewarded for exhibiting their abnormalities, then you'll find more people doing it, like the folks in poverty-stricken countries that pretend they have no legs for sympathy.
I always find fascinating to find new ways to play tetris, just to see how fast I can adapt. Used to play on the bus going to work on my first internship for about a year, up to the point I could basically play tetris by closing my eyes and imagining the game. Was really cool to find out the wiki page about this many years later https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect
The "vision of a hydrogen society where hydrogen is used in every sector" is probably motivated by a desire to become technological leaders in this field. Japan has fallen behind in battery technology, and Toyota was an early leader with its hybrid vehicles, but when it comes to fully electric cars, Japanese car makers are also falling behind. So I suspect they are trying to find a niche where they can develop technologies that they can maybe export later. From that point of view, where the hydrogen is coming from is not that important. And: a battery electric car is also not really helping to "save the planet" if the electricity used to charge it is coming from a coal plant...
The constant moving of the Netflix "currently watching" pane is a huge annoyance for me, especially because it looks the same as every other pane ("horror films", "British comedy" etc). My grandma can't figure it out, she needs to be able to press the same buttons every time she goes on the app and Netflix doesn't let her do that.
In the days-of-old to gain a skill you needed an apprenticeship. To gain an apprenticeship you can to become a guild member. This created a moat, where only guild members were highly skilled.

How do you purpose to market guild labor over non-guild labor, especially at a time when anyone can earn a CS degree, publish open source, and right to work laws pepper the country.
Isn’t this possible with the new iOS-like split view in Ventura? Sadly not supported by many apps yet (eg VSCode).
A few weeks back, I stepped down from a director-level role and wrote a little bit about why. I thought it might be of interest here on HN.

TL;DR: Not only can you lead without a title, you may find it's easier to lead without the baggage that comes with a title.
I found myself listening to podcasts _way_ more during the pandemic (multiple hours per day), as a coping mechanism. I'd just walk for hours and listen to something. My podcast consumption's definitely dramatically down with a return to some sort of normality.
> Electricity. It doesn't leak from cables.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corona_discharge

"[...] Corona discharge from high voltage electric power transmission lines constitutes an economically significant waste of energy for utilities."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_power_line

"Transmission higher than 132 kV poses the problem of corona discharge, which causes significant power loss and interference with communication circuits. [...]"

It might be unexpected and surprising, but yes, electricity does leak from cables!
That's true.

But regarding nostalgia and colours I can tell you a personal anecdote:

I first saw Blade (1998, yes, that one with Snipes) on a pirated VHS copy on a not new Funai recorder on a 14" SHARP TV.

It was a dark, grainy film, blue on black, with occasional red and white splashes. Visually it was close to Sin City.

Years later I stuck on it on a public TV. It was so bright it's almost made sense for Snipes protagonist to wear sunglasses everywhere - it was bright as day even at night scenes.

I can't watch "a proper" Blade, but not because it's quite a shitty movie (it's fine for it's niche) but because I first saw a dark, noir-like action film.

And we watched Babe (1995) on that set too, but I needed to constantly correct the tracking because the video was out of sync all the time. Years later I found about Macrovision and years after that I put two and two together.

Over the last decade I've had a similar thought and hope. Or at least the idea of working for an employee-owned and directed tech business (maybe on the model of REI?). Curious whether anyone knows of any successes in this area with respect to the tech industry?
They are running at capacity now. Can they scale fast enough?
Unrelated but, does anyone have a good universal solution of what music you "like" or "own"? I want to move off of Spotify but I want to make sure all my music is playable from some platform or locally.

A decade ago I moved off the good iTunes and foolishly lost my complete library of metadata of songs, so I want to avoid that again.

In the tech sector, "taking responsibility" means admitting your decisions led to the situation yet you'll externalize the consequences to employees.

In other words, it means nothing.

Taking actual responsibility could include stepping down, canceling bonuses, reduced compensation for leadership. It could include steps to become better at forecasting rather than randomly guessing. It could include ironing the business model to become less dependent on the whims of advertisers. It could include re-education and internal placement of the excess employees or reducing their hours rather than firing them.

Why would you do that though when not only can you get away with doing nothing, the market rewards it.

> Why does the idea that “if you’re good at math, you’ll be good at programming” persist so strongly?

Because from the point of view of people who aren't good at either, they're both about wrangling formulae in unnatural languages and dealing with details that only an anorak could love.
How does "payment in USD" work, if I am not from the US? If the exchange value drops, I cannot pay rent? Everyone should probably get the employer to offer a currency-hedged payment, the fee is not that high.
I’ve been that guy at classes, outings that never makes any long lasting friends. Maybe I haven’t done enough but I find it just too awk to talk about nothing.
Watched the Gimme Shelter documentary last night and it made me wonder if, when Thompson wrote that piece, he wasn't merely being allegorical. Perhaps he was also referencing the Altamonte Speedway which is North West of Vegas as the crow flies and where in a sense the 'sixties' came to a very definite end.
I think the most amazing mistake Spotify made was that recently all private playlists suddenly became public, because they changed the meaning of private and public to introduce some weird third level of privacy. I now have no idea what the privacy settings do.

Second most amazing was when they made the scrollbar literally two pixels wide and therefore unusable.

It’s not even that these are huge errors but it just makes you wonder who drove those change and why? What on Earth are their teams up to when they’re prioritising those kinds of changes?

>> Scala and F# are safer than Rust since they're on a VM.

Do you have any evidence to back up your claim?

Both the JVM (Scala's VM) and the CLR (F#'s VM) have a history of vulnerabilities:

https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=java+hotspo...

Programming languages running on VM is not a safety guarantee.
Basically every action taken by the executive, if only through the realities of selective enforcement, leads to decisions being made by "unelected bureaucrats". Unless we start voting for every cop, prosecutor, auditor, city planning official, the domain experts they bring on, etc.

If you agree that delegation at some level makes sense, then we're talking about degrees of delegation being considered reasonable. But outright ruling out any form of executive delegation seems kind of hard? Your argument would apply to every level of the state after all, including your city council.

Netflix has been doing the same thing by cracking down on sharing of accounts between family members not living in the same house, etc. I'd probably sooner cancel Netflix or Amazon Prime than Spotify. I've actually been thinking about that lately because they seem to be putting out less nice content lately.

I might just start subscription hopping for a while. Binge on a bunch of HBO things. Cancel that, move on to Prime, pay for a few months of Netflix, Apple TV, and so on. The issue is that none of them have enough quality content to keep me there permanently and they all have some content that is at least tempting. There are a couple of shows per year on each that I really enjoy and then just a lot of filler content that I don't really care as much about. I actually watch more free content on Youtube at this point then Netflix.

There are a few alternatives to Spotify. I'd say Prime Music is probably the least polished of them. AWS for all their success as a retailer just never figured out how to do decent UX. Prime video is pretty bad for example.

I've heard good things about Tidal and I kind of like their focus on artist revenue. But for now, I'm pretty happy with Spotify and the switching is not really worth the trouble to me. In terms of cost most of these things are pretty close together.

Just a couple that hit me all the time:

- Click the play button. Nothing happens. Reload the page. Hit the play button. Nothing happens. Reload the page a second time. Hit the play button. With some delay, it finally starts to play.

- My own playlists are buried underneath their insane recommendations. Want to know which songs I'm most likely to want to listen to? A good place to start would be the ones I put on my playlist. I think their recommendation system was designed by an intern that trained a deep learning model on 6 observations. Then the intern left, and nobody knew how to fix it.
