As others are pointing out, there's a general problem with financial literacy in the USA population, exacerbated by a culture that values flashy signs of wealth. But it's not the whole story.

There's a macro problem that that cars often are necessary to function in USA cities. With limited public transit, especially in the suburbs/exurbs where below median earners are forced to live, getting to a job requires a car. And cars are expensive, no matter how you slice it. Our city designs make it doubly hard to be poor.

I feel for low income earners - They're least able to afford extra expenses, have the least ability to devote mental/time resources to rate/price shopping, and get hit with the highest rates due to low income / low credit. Even if you want to make a good choice, the finances are stacked against you.

Even if Germany wouldn't have a minimum wage it wouldn't change the fact that German people won't work for the conditions you outlined. So for Germans this won't change anything anyways. Either the companies lower profits, raise prices or go bust. This way, the companies you're referring to got a few more years until the Syrians become more savvy.

To be fair, Germans are not very welcoming to other Germans either.
Yes, x86 works, but appears to pay a huge cost in power consumption to squeeze out those last few % of performance. Whether it’s just the property of how the mainstream x86 implementations have grown historically or the ISA itself remains to be seen.

I also agree that RISC-V decoders are simpler but only because the base ISA itself is very limited. Once you add functionality like FP, atomics, Zb extension, vectors etc… there is not that much difference. And the need to do fusion for address computation adds another layer of complexity on top.
These permission prompts is useless because way too many app asks for all these things.

For example, they advise executives to do what they already want to do (layoffs and increased executive compensation) and thus justify that decision (blame outsourcing).

A more generous take: when a business or project is stagnating due to bad management and communication, almost any advice that leads to change improves the situation. Especially when the situation is such due to some "principal actor" type issues, introducing more actors with different inscentives can rebalance things in the short term.

If you're allergic then one sting can kill you. If you're not allergic then 200 hundred stings can kill you. There can be a quarter million bees in a large colony.

On Learning Compilers and Creating Programming Languages
Good luck finding enough people looking for solutions to this problem and reaching them, that's the ??? part. And it's the part you need to convince me is realistic if you were just looking for the investment capital part.

There are plenty of software only solutions you could devise. Just send them the QR code, send them a link of screen share, etc. If the only real problem is they insist on holding and scanning a physical device, the real problem is their process and you should try to disrupt that. Airports have solved this in theory, they have QR code on boarding passes then have a DIY scanner when needed (when boarding and going through TSA). However, in practice I still see people handing over their devices to a human regularly for various reasons. My guess is you'll find the real issue is people just don't care enough to put up resistance. Ie. if you said "I'll hold it" or something, could they just scan it while it was in your hand? They probably could and would in a large number of cases.
Considering the cost of a $600-1000 device that could easily be dropped and damaged, there’s also the issue of privacy.

As driver’s licenses become digitized, not everyone would be comfortable handing their phone over to authorities, especially those from vulnerable groups.

I think it’s a product that has a lot of potential
In the UK the meters connect directly to 2G/3G wireless networks? That would be stupid expensive to do here in the US (I know, we looked at it). In the US the meters connect to a proprietary spread spectrum network the utility sets up and maintains. The meters are capable of communicating with one another and dynamically update their routing table in order to get the message to a take-out point. Once at the take-out point a fiber connection takes it to the head-end system where the utility can communicate with it.

>One expensive doctor explained it to me this way – historically medical community don't have enough data about how post-infection recovery has been in large populations w.r.t heart rates. Only recently, with smart watches etc such data is available.

This is absolutely true and one part of the root problem. The other aspect of this is that most of the heart tracking devices we use live on the wrist and the data is of questionable quality and application. Many cardiologists know this and dismiss the devices and its uses wholesale, but that approach is wrong. The data isnt 'wholesale bad' its just bad at many things (hilariously, particularly bad at the things they advertise on the most). One of the things its GOOD at doing is noting when your heart is behaving differently from your baselines, which is why its generally pretty good at noting AFIB or pre-AFIB characteristics, for example.

This level of complexity on the issue, coupled with the relative lack of understanding with post-infection behavior/detailed immunoresponse, is definitely leading to some less than ideal approaches to patient care. and obviously the nature of COVID, being the first generally uniform viral infection of the entire population since 1918, being a huge wrench.

> Today, the theme is CI/CD, which translates into "figure out how to keep an overstaffed engineering department occupied long after they delivered the working system". This translates into shipping broken, buggy, incomplete, software with the intention to keep the department occupied over the long-term with bug fixes, patches, feature updates and releases, and probably the occasional all-up rewrite

you are looking at it from the wrong end. This model is prefered and delivers better results because nobody was able to say what the "complete" sofware should look like. So better to deliver MVP and ask the users what they want to change rather than develop something for years only to discover that its very bad fit.

It's to drive it until "the wheels fall off."

Not sure I agree. I've seen people do that and they inevitably end up spending thousands on repair and maintenance the last few years of the cars life. Had they sold 'in time' and bought something used, but slightly newer and more reliable, I'm pretty sure they would have ended up ahead.

If you have the time/skill/equipment to do all your own repairs and maintenance it might be OK, but otherwise keeping an old car on the road gets expensive.

This example is more likely due to that specific page/site lacking any kind of accessibility information (e.g. how people who are blind, deaf or have other disabilities can use the internet), rather than being large or complex.

Relatedly, in my experience, for some reason most internet properties relating to anything sports related (MLB, NFL, NHL, or even small town little league) have absolutely terrible, extremely over complicated user interfaces.
Actually, it's super controversial, even among Christians. If it is documented through the Bible, that's not evinced by your link (to a conservative Evangelical website), which only cites Acts and John, two very closely related parts of the Bible. And neither of those says anything about the resurrection of those who are not saved happening because of Jesus's sacrifice.

You're still eating a good amount of it at two years. Five is where the curve flattens out. The objectively best used car to buy is a single owner 5 year old Toyota Corolla with 60,000 miles.
Interesting take. For what it's worth, being paranoid drains energy, and energy is a scarce resource for those with distinguishable forms of Covid.

Those are good things to consider in review, but I maintain that the answer might be "no" to one or more of those questions and still be acceptable.

I'm old enough to have worked in the pre-code-review era. Things were fine. People still learned from each other, software could still be great or terrible, etc. It wasn't appreciably worse or better than things are today.

> An implicit question in several of the above is "will this set a good example for future contributions?"

Which in my experience can be an almost circular requirement. What do you consider a good example? As perfect as perfect can be? Rapid development? Extreme pragmatism?

The more experienced I get, the less I complain about in code review, especially when reviewing for a more junior dev, and especially for frequent comitters. People can only get so much out of any single code review, and any single commit can only do so much damage.

Put another way, code review is also about a level of trust. Will the committer be around next week? Are they on the same team as me? If yes, give them some leeway to commit incremental work and make improvements later. Not all incremental work need occur pre-commit. Mention areas for improvement, sure, but don't go overboard as a gatekeeper.

Things are obviously going to be different when reviewing code from what amounts to a stranger on a mission critical piece of code, etc.

I think it is political. Given the right's current love affair with being told what they want to hear and misinformation suppression efforts it isn't too surprising that the end result is nobody is happy with them. The right is obvious. But the left has a knack for showing their usual level of gratitude and reasonability. They demand precognition, telepathy, and also a magical pony with wings. Thus they consider tech companies guilty for not delivering the impossible, the existence of all the problems of the world, compounded with the heinous crime of being a company.

How I Learn Machine Learning (2022)
Cool idea, but ultimately it doesn't matter what I or anyone else thinks of your idea, it's about your customer. I'd say don't build a product but instead build a landing page with the 'product' for sale (get some design mock ups done) then try and sell it and see what happens. This is similar to what the article says about talking to users but instead bypasses any mistakes you might make and getting false positives. If people buy that's a great indication there is demand and you can then evaluate if you should build it or not.
> You can't measure any productivity that has any cognitive component.

So you're saying that it's impossible to measure developer productivity at all, since it's cognitive work? Strong disagree.

All of us here that work with other developers know that some of their peers get more done than others. Or conversely, that there's a few in the team who don't seem to get much done. The minute you make even that simple assessment, you've measured productivity.

One of the jobs of eng managers is to then make this measurement as accurately, realistically, and fairly as possible. This guides bonuses and raises, which should reflect people's contributions.

I'm not defending McKinsey's proposal here, but I agree with the general notion that it's possible to measure productivity and this is something management should always be doing.

I don't think this has anything to do with capitalism.

We have carpenters under capitalism and the companies hiring them don't force them into stand-ups every morning with some guy who has never nailed two pieces of wood together who insists on following a rigid process of chopping up the work of framing a house into sprints, user stories and story points.

I actually don't work as a programmer anymore (instead as a security consultant) and suffer no micromanagement (in fact, almost no management at all). I think this is just a unique nonsense which has developed around the practice of programming.

Genuinely whether I am working on a project individually or as a team, myself and my teammates get complete freedom of how we go about doing our work as long as we uphold certain standards and produce certain deliverables. This definitely seems possible in the world of software development.
Show HN: Automated triaging, investigation and remediation of on-call issues
Hey HN!

We're the founders of Hatchet: the copilot for your on-call incidents. Hatchet is able to integrate with your existing systems like Pagerduty, Sentry, DataDog, OpsGenie, CloudWatch, Confluence, Slack and Google Drive. Through these integrations we're able to generate a holistic view of the incident and able to inject context directly into the page. Ultimately, this capability allows on-call engineers to reduce their time-to-resolution 100x!

We're opening up a closed beta this week with 10 spots, if this sounds interesting, we would love to chat more. You can book a demo with us via the link in our page: gethatchet.com or by sending us an email: andre@gethatchet.com

Thanks & Cheers HN!

>Not putting on my "conspiracy" hat, but I'm sure the rise of pseudo medical ~~professionals~~ (read: "influencers") on social media has contributed to this in an indirect way.

This was already a problem long before COVID, and influencers have nothing to do with it. Patients regularly assault medical professionals, and rarely face any type of consequences (beyond being temporarily restrained, if it happens repeatedly).

It's also worth noting that the incident with the HIV-positive patient I mentioned in a sibling comment happened in an inner-city hospital in Columbus, OH.
That was the hospital where one of my wife's coworkers was harassed by the other nurses for supporting (then-President) Trump. Not exactly a "right-wing dominated" area, but plenty of horror stories nonetheless.
That's not a good answer. We're not talking about thinking, we're talking about things with a cognitive component. Writing software has such a component and it's possible to tell if any software has been written (it's even sometimes possible to tell if it works or not).
