It's incomplete advice, but it can't be separated from effective advice. Similarly, "just eat less" is not useful/workable on it's own, but at the end of the day, losing weight relies on caloric deficit; it's still true.

The missing piece with this, not unlike weight-loss, is the use of effective tools (that can include sunlight, scheduling everything differently, among other things).
Does anyone remember when lightbulbs were a thin glass bubble and a piece of wire? Compare that in a landfill to this thing. Something that is effectively gone in 10 years if crushed and left outside vs this that many part will look the same in 1000.

I guess I enjoy the extreme hypocritical nature of "smart home" things from people that talk about climate change and living wages and etc. You're buying future-landfill trash from slaves because you think it's neat that your lights are on timers....

On the other hand, to be fair... I have "dumb" LEDs that I like (Reveals because I know what color should look like) and obviously there is a break-even point of not spending 95% of your power in heat when you want it for light. It's really just the "smart" parts that I find just so unnecessary.

I don't like gherkin. I think that it has awkward syntax, it lacks type safety, it's very verbose and doesn't have enough ability to abstract scenarios. Rather than being a source for generating the documentation it tries to be the documentation.

Nonetheless, there is a small number of projects where they either work around these constraints or it doesn't matter as much, so it can work. I find that most people that apply gherkin to their projects run into a brick wall though - usually for one of the above reasons.

I built https://github.com/hitchdev/hitchstory as an alternative that has straightforward syntax (YAML), very strict type safety (StrictYAML), low verbosity and the ability to abstract scenarios.

It is explicitly designed as a source for generating markdown documentation

You want to avoid promoting or casting away the const. If you start using const, you almost inevitably wind up with a mismatch.

This introduces flaws in the type system. I wish I had a better breakdown on the impact of these concerns, but I'd rather not worry at all.

Anyway, if you don't use const, this goes away. Bear in mind the minor amount of "safety" it provides, because you can just ignore it later, as you arguably tend to be doing anyway when you pass a const to non-const or visa versa.

Inevitably, outside of really small insular project (and often times even then), there's something down the line that winds up being non-const that you don't want to change.

C developers of this mindset tend to just come to the conclusion that you will immediately break the type system, just give up on the whole game.

Edit adding at least on example:

Example: You define as const and remove the const later. If anything writes to the non-const, this is undefined behavior

Example: I believe the above is actually true for const promotion if you modify the non-const version... I think this is only after the call (edit. ie after it become const, really interest in the answer).

No Undefined behavior

/* I imagine this would be okay */

si_non_const = si_non_const + GetMagicValue();

/* Const is promoted here */

const int fparam = si_non_const;

/* Writing to fparam is undefined past here */

f_const(&fparam);

Undefined behavior

/* I imagine writing, after using as const is also not defined, but is fine at this point */

si_non_const = si_non_const + GetMagicValue();

/* Here we now have a constant value that will never be written to */
const int fparam = si_non_const;

f_const(&fparam);

/* I think this would also be UB, even though it's accessed through a different symbol */

si_non_const = si_non_const + GetMagicValue();

Interested in other opinion, maybe will think on later... would it be valid for the compiler to remove that last assignment?

Edit: Sorry, this is unreadable, if you put a space between the not undefined, and undefined it's easier

Gaining confidence is a huge part of any startup. Customers, investors and employees dislike insecurity. Every presentation, new customer, investment, and discussion helps increase your confidence. The confidence you build as part of these interactions will not only make your startup successful, it will help you become a better person.
Many of these are actually life choices. American addiction to guns tells us nothing about healthcare quality. Either way, I'm not saying our healthcare quality is better than other countries, I'm just saying you can't say it's worse by just looking at life expectancy because of confounders.
The problem most users face when starting out with Jira (or any other tool for that matter) is they don't know how to get started with a process. Leantime starts with some pre-defined worfklows following industry best practices. You can still update statuses and other items on a per project base later once you are comfortable using the tool.

Something that all pm tools have in common these days is that they are glorified task lists with different visualization options. This is not project management.
In Leantime you track and work towards goals/outcomes, you see your metrics change and know what impact your work has. Additionally we added a variety of research/strategy focused boards such as Lean Canvas, Business Model Canvas, SWOT etc to allow you to define products and features deliberately and in a central location. This helps to align your entire team.

The docs (while admittedly not as powerful as confluence) keep your documentation where it needs to be (with the project) rather than having to switch between sites.

This. I tried once and am still a bit confused if I understood it correctly. Google seemed to refuse "too low" bids completely for no other disclosed reason than that they were too low. And the UI was hellbent to make me give google authority to bid on my behalf on googles own ad auction. Like, WTF? Who on their right mind would agree to that? I'd very much like these folks to be my customers. I guarantee, I will sell you whatever (legal) you want, as long as you agree that I can set the price to whatever I want. It just boggles my mind.

FWIW, if it’s a Fortune 500 company, one of two things could be happening:

a. Minority Owned or SMB. Many Fortune 500 company’s have internal metrics where they try to do more business with Minority Owned or SMB businesses.

b. Bus Factor or Financial Risk. If you’re providing a service that will become core to them or poses financial risk to them if it stopped working (or you went out of business) - they are assessing how much risk you pose to their business.

As other have said, the better you can understand why they are asking the question the better you can respond.

I find modern games are often superior to the old ones, so I would disagree with the "anymore" part of "no good games anymore".

But I disagree with the sibling comments in that I'm quite sure it's a fact for a lot of players that there are hardly any good games left in the sense that they have grown and their tastes have reached levels where pretty rehashes of old mechanics and ideas will no longer cut it. AAA games don't innovate much these days, and the indie game with one cool new idea is rarely fun to play because the execution as a whole is so lacking.

To be honest, I think the average HN user does not play games that much. Or watch films, listen to music, read fiction, etc. Which is probably a good thing, but means they have less taste, both in the subjective and objective sense. But go to different internet forums, say 4chan, and you'll find people definitely have huge problems with quality creative content being so rare.
If you look at the link to the Cloudfare post [1], they are comparing a bunch of different IPC methods. I bet what I did is for all the other ones (shared memory, mmaped files, unix sockets, etc) they did send 1KB messages, but for signals they are just sending the signal and associated int. It's the only thing that makes sense to me.

I don't think I want Debian changing their packaging policies so some random Retroarch contributor can break my app (or worse, losing my data) by pushing a bad update. I want Debian to be a rock-solid OS where nothing breaks even if it means old software versions, because adults are doing QC.

If I need a specific app to always be up to date, I can get it from external sources on a case-by-case basis, such as downloading an AppImage/Flatpack from the developer's website or using Docker.

Why wouldn't you want a rolling distro if you want everything updated all the time?
Not the GP and I agree with your broader point that a master's is sufficient approximately 99% of the time, but a few places come to mind: SpaceX, NASA, CERN (is that technically non-academic? I don't truly know), probably certain departments of US Dept. of Energy, things around nuclear power.

They probably don't have high concentrations absolutely (e.g. they're not going to be 90%+ PhDs) but it's probably still several orders of magnitude above your average industry role.
> Maybe it is just an engineering problem.

Yes

> Humans aren't strictly math computations that can arrive at a absolute 0 or 1.

Actually, I think it's the other way around. Humans will arrive at a 0 or 1 (being convinced they know the truth), often with quite little support by evidence/data.

Rather, I think this is biology's "engineering solution" to having limited compute power.

> Allows some re-evaluation.

When you do get P=0 or P=1, you stop re-evaluating (when using basically Bayesian logic).

> Maybe that would be option in AI to avoid the problem.

AI can definitely be made to avoid this problem. It's a lot better at doing webs of Bayesian logic than humans are, if we tell it to, and can probably do that even if not explicitly designed for Bayesian logic.

My concern is more about humans.

The common word for people that evaluate P=0 or 1 AND draw the consequences from that, is fundamentalist. If anything, more intelligent people have a higher risk of becoming a fundementalist than others, since a single wrong absolute belief tends to cascade into a larger web of induced false beliefs, simply to keep their view on reality consistent.

Often it's better when people simply allow themselves to hold mutually exclusive beliefs, without caring so much about the contradiction. Like when people hold religious beliefs (maybe that people that don't belive in their God the way they do will go to hell), while NOT trying convert their souls at gunpoint out of "mercy" to prevent eternal suffering.
It's a Social Science and no one says otherwise. This is always harped on by commies because research doesn't swing in their favor.
If you are grouping over them, they shouldn't be columns in the first place, the original SQL is "right". Rows and columns aren't symmetric!

Reshaping data should be a presentation-time decision, not a query-time decision. You have a dataset, a relation in the algebraic sense, and you are choosing to display it in some way: as a table, as a pivoted table, as a pie-chart...

Conflating the two is a consequence of spreadsheets having an unbeatable UX but a terrible data model that lets you treat rows as columns and vice-versa.
They are indeed very powerful, if unfortunately named, and the UI always takes me a while to do it properly in Excel.

I like how MacOS Numbers does it, the Categories feature is much easier to use, however it has limitations that are very annoying if you reach them.

For anything complex these days, it is often easiest to export the spreadsheet to CSV and run SQL queries on it with CSVQ.

Resolve is free, which is a massive deal to amateur filmmakers.

The BMPCC4k prioritised having RAW, 4k, and being affordable. They cost 2-3k new at the time, competing with cameras that cost 15k and up. Raw is a massive, massive deal, and I argue is the thing separating pro gear from amateur.

Their image quality and color science is arguably "less good" than Arri or RED, but the difference is imperceptible for 99% of people.

Unless you're shooting someone juggling fire in a pitch black room, the images coming out of their cameras are as good as you can hope for.

I shoot documentary, and I just do not see a reason to buy another camera. It's just "chefs kiss"

Some people have strong opinions about HN. There was a blog post which reached the front page on HN <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34446704>, and the blog post author immediately added a large box on top of the blog post:

>That said, I don't follow it closely, but didn't somebody recently worked out one that works without negative mass matter?

Yes. There was recently a few papers published showing that a static warp field is mathematically possible without negative energy. However, the field doesn't move or impart acceleration on its own. The best you can do is drag the warp field behind your ship with normal thrusters. Such a field seems to be pretty useless right now, but maybe that research will lead to something else in a few years
The problem here is that you usually do not have ~1k users with all the same requirements. You have 200 groups of average 5 users each, all with their own department-specific, country-specific or workflow-specific requirements. Of course a central solution will be better and cheaper. But it will never be quicker, because you will take ages to just gather requirements from all 200 distinct user groups. As soon as you have those requirements, they will have changed already, so you are working on yesteryear's problems.

And of course, given a working system, the users can drop you a quick email, explain their problem (yes, in an ideal world they could do that, and you would understand them right away...) and you implement a 5min change. In reality however, their problem will first have to be specified in a user story, with a ton of clarification requests until the story is really understood by the dev team, then you need goodwill, time and money for the implementation. And maybe their problem can only be solved by an ugly hack, a weird special case for the ternary currency and ages-old lunar-calendar-based tax-system of lampukistan. Would that really be quicker than just the lampukistan team throwing together a few formulas and be done faster than the initial email? Even when multiplied by the special requirements of the other 100 country sales teams?

Also, I've had similar change requests where is was explicitly asked to provide a spreadsheet prototype of what the statistics should look like. Well, thanks, why again do we need a dev team?

I know that spreadsheets suck. They are ugly, undebuggable hacks, always and without exception. You need tons of time to implement in hours what would be a quick one-liner SQL query. With terrible error behaviour, weird edge cases and hell knows how many hidden bugs when the locale uses the lampukistan-currency-separator instead of a decimal dot...

...Except that they provide those office drones with velocity, which, as the usual wisdom around here goes, is everything.

Insane take. Neuroscience is highly competitive. As someone in both fields, I would say it is only a little bit less competitive than AI/ML.

I largely agree with the rest of your advice, but I would argue that having multiple extremely positive reference letters from different research experiences are worth more than some middle author publication.

The problem isn't pay, the problem is the cost of housing(and education). Even if everyone got a 3x pay raise we would probably see a 4x increase in housing costs because fundamentally there is a supply issue. Until politicians are ready to tank the housing market by either investing in public housing, up zoning, deregulating, etc. the problem will never get better. You can still participate in the system if you want, but I refuse to take on life ruining risk to join a rat-race where lead poisoned boomer home owners get to squeeze me for 50% of my salary every month. If we lived in a sane economy with good labor protections(like the eu), or fair housing prices(like Tokyo) then we could talk about it.
