In theory yes. Back on earth: I can argue that each task is 13 points. Usually this goes to being a pissing contest. The person that is deeply familiar with what needs to happen and has written this down (assuming written down not a one line to fix somthing) to be "estimated" probably is in the best position to acually do it/fix it. Also it's an insidious way to get the drones to fight each other trying to one up and show how smart they are. The person assigned to fixing it should estimate it (ie I have completely silenced "10x" developers by just telling them to just pick it up and do it if it's so easy).
Show HN: I'm writing a guide to building and launching mobile apps end-to-end
For the past few years, I've been on and off writing a book about mobile app development, from ideation to launch. Because I can only write about what I'm familiar with, I'm calling the book Opinionated Launch.

The book is sort of done, but "few years" is eons in software, so I'm now refreshing its content here and there. Since it's Black Friday, and I want to get early feedback, I'm doing a pre-order (with a steep discount).

If you have the time, please check the sample chapter here: https://opinionatedlaunch.com/Opinionated-Launch-sample-chap... (you'd get this upon signing up for the newsletter, but I'll save you the hassle)

If you like it but are still deciding, please sign up for the newsletter. But if you want to support me and maybe influence the book, I'd be very happy if you pre-order.
I got back into Pokemon collecting for a bit during the pandemic, like many others . And boy it showed how fun and awesome collecting the original cards were in the late 90's/early 00's. Then with the 25th anniversary, they did a great job marketing it with special releases and a lot of hype!

I also went to a Pokemon TCG conference in Toronto last year, and it was amazing! There were around 10,000 people there. People of all ages, parents and kids, older collectors. It really showed the longevity and cultural brand power of Pokemon!
Lies, damn lies and then this. 85% counts Hispanic people as white. The 35% does not. Ain't no way this is an innocent mistake. Hispanic people have always been a large portion of California.

Kernel Hacker's Bookshelf: Failure-oblivious computing
Indeed they speak a language other than English at home, so not English. But people reply to my comment claiming this means that they also speak English at home. Where do people read that?

Edit:
It's a bit ironic I get downvoted for mentioning the strange wording, but clearly we don't agree on what it's supposed to mean.
We have FTTH everywhere in India and seeing how fiber is installed in all kinds of nooks and crannies, I can tell you that fiber is more resilient than you think. And frankly, I have experienced far less Internet outages with FTTH than I used to with twisted copper pairs (ADSL2+).

> we offer gift cards (aka loyalty cards) to them

This is likely due to regulatory/AML-ish issues. If you do get in touch with a human at Stripe, once they understand it they may cut you off completely. You may even need to be registered and compliant in each of 50 states as a money transfer business [1]. If this seems uncool and heavy you might want to find another business model

> there are no other sellers except us - our customers (riders) they only deal with us and not anyone else

Since you seem to be storing value for people, and then transfer that to another as-yet-undetermined party in the future, see my first comment

[1] https://www.fincen.gov/money-services-business-msb-registrat..., "Civil and criminal penalties may be imposed for violation of the registration requirement"

EDIT: You are transferring that money later to the track owner of the future event, right? I dont know the rules, but they are byzantine. You probably want to understand the rules before you approach Stripe. It could be as simple as a no-refunds policy, or getting rid of the stored-value-cards, or having AML process for track owners, I have absolutely no idea.

Why are you calling them gift cards if they can't be transferred? That's like asking for regulatory alarms [2]

Ah, gotcha, so the fact that its 10,000 chips for one dedicated cluster that makes it large, as opposed to Azure which has an order of magnitude more GPUS but rents many of those out.
I see lots of criticism in this thread and elsewhere about that carbon removed stat. I would love to see more productive criticism, where people make suggestions on how they could do it better, instead of just criticizing a company of this scale at least doing something. Or examples of companies that are doing a better job of it.

Personally I'd prefer if they didn't call it carbon removed unless they were actually doubling the shipping carbon removal, and they should call it offsets unless it's all coming from some of their direct capture partners (which iirc Shopify does buy from).
Not necessarily. There’s an entire class of dog breeds literally named “retriever”. A quick search shows the AKC saying the first retriever breed was from the 16th century which means humans have been selectively breeding dogs for this specific behavior for nearly 500 years.

Whether or not we consider the basal instinct as retrieval vs some other similar instinct that can be easily used to motivate the retrieval behavior [1], I’d wager most dog owners that have trained (or attempted at least!) would agree that some dogs are just more likely to become good retrievers which to me suggests that there’s more than just a basic pleasure stimulus response.

Similar dog behaviors based on breed that I would argue at least point towards instinctual behavior being at least a partial explanation for behavior are herding and live stock protection breeds. Take a quick watch of any of the sheep herding competitions or other fun related videos [2] to see what I mean.

However, at the end of the day I also think that most “instincts” are more of a shorthand/stereotype for some set of abstract probabilities that may or may not result in a dog being good or bad at any specifically desired behavior.

It’s very possible that iOS can end up in a situation where it starts starting a daemon in a loop but the premise here seems a little unexplored to me given the odd nature of the bug. The kernel failing to spawn the process due to a sandbox issue seems very odd. Given that the device is obviously jailbroken I think it’s somewhat likely that a sloppy patch or tweak is causing this to occur instead.
Agreed, feel bad for anyone that did that. Hopefully lessons learned on not making huge purchases based on some revolutionary future tech that isn’t fully baked yet / all problems solved for. Definitely an area I would never want to be an early adopter in.
> I have a very bad memory for things I have to do but since reminders I set up never appear right when I can do the task I still forget about it.

Taking some inspiration from GTD, you can have different reminders, or rather task lists, for each different environment/moment. You can have one for “on-the-go” which are things you want to do when you are out of the house doing errands (“buy new shoes” would go here probably).

At least where I’m from, you have to schedule a doctor’s appointment before going there, so I’d replace “go to the ophthalmologist” with “schedule ophthalmologist appointment”. You can do that over the phone in less than 2min in your free time so I’d put it in a “free time” list. After that it’s no longer a task/problem, all you have to do is show up.

The screenshot is (obviously) from a jailbroken phone. Currently nobody with a stock phone can reproduce it (through Console on a Mac with Developer Mode enabled) although you are free to try it and test for yourself. This is just another side effect of how jailbreaks make your device more unstable.
Those are some seemingly crazy reasons. I live around a lot of Guatemalans, none of them speak English. (I'm in the US.)I've been wondering why not just learn even a little? But also why go to another country and make no attempt to be part of it.
Looks like this is all based on Love2D.

Love2D is amazing. This is cool, but you can just use whatever text editor or IDE you want and dynamically load and replace functions every second or two. Then you can type in a lua development environment and have the love2D window be separate instead of text in your way, which works well in the age of high resolution and multiple monitors.

If you catch errors you can just print the error in the Love2D window. With this structure/technique you can make games in real time while they are running, because you don't have to clear your global state to sub in a different draw function / input handling function etc.
I think our criminal justice system is overly punitive, but I see violating a fundamental right as much much worse than e.g. dealing drugs which I'd possibly spend years in jail for. Is spending years in jail for that reasonable? No. It's a mind bogglingly disproportionate punishment. But violation of fundamental rights is a heinous crime and I'd expect the punishment for it to be greater than the punishment for drug crime. Hence a call for jail time.

I think you're taking the title too literally. The article is about things you can do, but that you probably didn't ever consider as options. Replace "allowed to" with "can" in the title, and you'll get closer to the real point of the article.
That was kind of my point. If you wanna enjoy your old age you also need to be somewhat wealthy or at least financially very table.

The old people working in the streets till they drop in China and Korea do it because they have no wealth to rest on, not because they enjoy doing that kind of work so much.

It's doable to be young and poor, but being old and poor sucks.

It depends on the severity of the event and how the electronics are designed.

Any time you have a magnetic field cross a conductor you induce a voltage.

The concern is that small electronics have very sensitive components that operate at low voltages. If there's a voltage spike generated on an internal bus, it could damage components.
Engineering is also a craft, but we have figured out how to manage it. The same will happen to programming (if it hasn't already). This happens to all crafts, from weaving to nuclear engineering.
That is way more Filipinos than I would have expected.

I wonder how pleased Joseph Fourier would be seeing how his work has become so pivotal in a world probably unimaginable to his time. Not just for ego sake, but just how damn useful something one's effort did becomes to everyone else.
Better than doing this is to email the author and ask for a copy. It's their work, and they usually (maybe always?) have no financial stake in the gated access which dominates academic publishing. I've had success using this method to read papers to which I did not have access through a paid service.
Both Java and JavaScript use the three-dot-ellipsis `...` (spread, varargs), so I'm not sure if it 'breaks industry standards' if Ruby uses them as well.
> Programming is still a craft, not engineering, or manufacturing.

Programming can be engineering if you know how to do it. Engineering is, in a nutshell, a set of principles you learn and apply, and never deviate from, in work and life. Engineers always deliver the highest quality.

Craftspersons do not know these engineering principles, or they disregard them. They invariably deliver faster than engineers, and their output is always simpler and of lower quality.

In "The Rise of Worse is Better" [0], an engineer (from MIT) debates with a craftsman (from Berkeley). The Berkeley guy cheerfully admits he is disregarding an engineering principle (correctness), and that's why "the MIT guy did not like this solution because it was not the right thing".

> The Agile Manifesto cult swept aside all that silly formalism. "Too heavy!"

The Agile Manifesto puts close contact with the end users and domain experts as a fundamental principle (actually two principles, out of four). I do think you have the wrong culprit on your mind.
Dog whistle, social shibboleth, coded message, fill in the blanks yourself. It's just leading a reader to the start of a path and if they're aligned with your thinking, they will follow it one way. If they're not, or not critical of the patterns associated with this argument, they will be more charitable, or not do the exercise at all.

Being able to identify the conclusion that is not being said does not make me the target of the message. It just makes me someone with too much time invested in the 'culture wars' of today.

These 3 reasons ring closely, its what i see in my own family. They are Cuban and came here older and have never bothered to learn the language mostly out of fear of being too old or loosing their culture. They also have their own micro country were they can get Spanish speaking doctors, jobs and community to socialize. They can go months without hearing a word in English. Confidence is big to learn a language, my own kids are 5 and 6 and they can write / read and speak Spanish and English and speak in french but my son is less extroverted and fallsback more to English on front of people.

Where was freedom of movement restricted in the United States? I heard of restrictions in other countries, but not here.

Exactly

Like, there are mass produced furniture shops. (Say, building chat bot clones, or flappy bird clones). The basic layout/shape/function, is known and being tweaked.

Then there is the custom built furniture. I need an 18th century armoire. The 'Bespoke', a custom application for some odd business need, or solving a new problem.

We do often discuss these by squishing 'Software Engineering' into a single bucket and it leads to many arguments around really different things.
Newbie question, could this cluster easily calculate the largest prime number? I've found that the largest known prime number was found back in 2018, which is a while back considering how compute has evolved.
I sure see a lot of power for power’s sake inside of companies.

OpenAI’s stated mission is AGI that can replace half the population in “economically valuable” work.

I get that with some creativity you can see that as a net benefit for humanity, but across at least a generation that’s going to be a rough & destabilizing transition.
Planning poker is only useful in the context of who may be doing the work, and even then I'm not sure how useful it really is. What is an 8 to one dev may be a 5 to another, as one may have a better grasp of the problem space than the other. In short, one shouldn't assume equality across the team for ability to do given task.

There are channels without propaganda like ScienceClic/pbs space time.
Good propoganda would not work if it would be too obvious. But once you read Kurtz story and try to reevaluate their "proposed" solutions to eco issues, you can see how it aligns. It is "technooptimism". Like similar to "invest into AI, it will solve all of our problems".

You forgot your links, but your EV vs ICE video was Geoff Buys Cars, who is very anti-EV. He specifically architects these videos to make EVs fail for clicks. That’s when he’s not doing his chemtrail videos…

A big part of his recent videos was how bad the depreciation was on a Porsche EV, and from what I can tell it was just normal new car depreciation and he was comparing it to a second hand diesel.

Here is another one done with similar issues of cars sharing chargers but much more straightforward and done in good time: https://youtu.be/bM5hYkEXOVM?si=H-IBzMdeSNhVmwkL

The usual cries are mostly right. Home charging for me is 3p/mile. Tesla have done the right thing where the car know the charger locations and calculates charge times and places. This should be standard in all EVs but isn’t, so you need ABRP to plan it. Not sure if the EV guy did that in the video since I refuse to give that guy clicks.

But this isn’t a representative journey really for most people.

The insurance thing seems to also have been clickbait, since I ran my details straight after seeing the headlines and was able to find insurance no problem. Insurance for non EVs seems to be up too.

I approach the work like this and appreciate others who do, but it doesn't scale. It's engaging and fun and can produce more elegant, attentive, humanized work. But larger technology organizations (or organizations pursuing larger projects) need to draw on engineering and factory models to meet their software development needs the same way that IKEA and GM draw on them. Just like in software, there are still countless master woodworkers and master mechanics who bring beautiful attention to their craft, but there is also a scale where that approach is simply not suitable. The different scales coexist and even comingle, and they're all valid.
