Ask HN: As a Developer What Tedious Task Do You Find Takes to Much of Your Time?
I'm looking to learn about the tedious tasks you need to handle daily or weekly in your roles. Many of us are in engineering, product management, or leadership. So specifically, I'm interested in tasks that seem to drain your resources without fully utilizing your skills and insights. In other words, tasks that seem too trivial for someone of your expertise but are nonetheless essential for your organization's bottom line.

For instance, in my daily routine as an engineer, I spend about 5-10 minutes everyday reviewing my calendar to type up a quick list of availability to respond to emails or Slack messages requesting time slots for a meeting. While there are services that seemingly solve this process by allowing people to book available times directly, For many of us these options often aren't suitable or considered “professional” enough when dealing with sophisticated clients or teammates. So I resort to manually sending out a simple list of my available times slots for each day of the week.

I suspect many of you face similar, time-consuming tasks that could be streamlined or automated. Candidly my co-founder and I are exploring solutions to automate these mundane tasks through a new platform and community. So we are looking to gather more insights into the specific day-to-day tasks that you feel are a waste of your valuable time.
Interesting, I haven't hit many issues myself but it definitely seems like it's not as polished as I thought. It's definitely not as "vanilla" as Rancher Desktop, but I like the way it lets you do more outside of just the standard Docker Desktop workflow.

Can you elaborate on the host directories bit? I'm curious what you mean.
They specified they're using 512GB of ECC RAM.
This is really good news and a win for independent journalism. I support my government in most things but definitely not in persecuting journalists.
I’m looking at house prices, and it is not.
“This new Copilot key will replace the menu key (application key) that was introduced alongside the Windows key decades ago”
I think part of it is that insurance companies gouge hospitals too. They are an even bigger monopoly with a lot of leverage against any ordinary city hospital.
It has to do with the binfmt_misc configuration on the podman machine VM, which is used on non-Linux hosts like macOS. I've proposed that they update the machine VM configuration to fix the inconsistency with Docker Desktop but the conversation petered out.

Dealerships Rip You Off With The “Four-Square,” Here’s How To Beat It (2007)
You joke but if you add up the per capita cost of roads and parking mandates, you probably exceed the value of a used car within a few years.

Most states spend about twice as much on roads as they take in via fuel tax and registration. The difference is made up via the general budget (income and sales tax). https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/states-road-funding.... The Federal gasoline tax has not been raised in 31 years and has lost half its real value.

Local zoning laws mandating minimum parking around each building has large implicit costs. Housing shortages. Needing to commute. Car dependency and needing to drive for every single outing.

Americans generally disapprove of “handouts” or cash transfers. But if the subsidy is designed as a good or service provided below cost there’s less opposition. If you call it a refundable tax credit it also becomes more palatable.
In addition to being regionally available, the Devon breeds are well-rounded triple-purpose animals; in addition to providing meat and milk, they are suitable for draft (e.g. pulling carts and plows), though you don't see them used much for that in modern times.
But they were convicted, according to the comment you are replying to.
Closer than I expected though! It’s possible there are some out there made for this scenario.
so... you left a trace at bank, then signed a contract that was filed to authorities an the seller deposit the cash. Awesome way to fly under the radar, clappity clap to your wise conduct!
Isn’t that interesting when compared with ‘machines don’t make mistakes’ wisdom
I am working on GabrielAI, which is a tool to filter and autodraft reply for Gmail and outlook and of course it uses LLM under the hood.

https://getgabrielai.com

In cases like this the author could just set up a filter like:

"If the email contains a task for me" (or some variation)

Then add a Gmail label to it.

In this way the author will immediately find all the actionable emails for him in a specific folder, much faster to skim and to keep track of all of them.

Another option would it be to have GabrielAI generate a Draft like "reply acknowledging the task and put a to-do date in the email in 1 week"

This would allow Google to track the email and the deadline.
Not for want of trying. VHS tapes were frequently produced with MacroVision that would distort the image on copy.

> the government wants 'papers please' for you to access a website should really scare everyone

We've been doing that for R and X movies forever.
Now this is interesting. I've read about using synthetic DNA for data storage, but other uses surely abound.

I don't suppose you'll need documentation help at some point in the near future...?
Not a fan of the coverage of ECC in misunderstandings section.

>In any way you can run ZFS and Btrfs without using ECC memory, it's not a requirement.

Should be:

>You can run ZFS and Btrfs without using ECC memory, it is definitely possible, but you shouldn't run ANY filesystem without ECC memory.

It cannot be stressed enough. Friends don't let friends run computers without ECC memory.
Did you look at Office365's Co-Pilot? It can do a lot of stuff and it can aid in creating a PowerPoint presentation for sure. Technically, Co-Pilot would be using Office365's PowerPoint software to create the slideshow file manually but it would insert the content to the best of it's ability based on the prompts.
I think this depends on if he gets a jury trial or bench trial. There are a growing number of federal jurisdictions in the US who really don't care that much about the Constitution or reasonable interpretations thereof. I don't like his odds. I would prefer if they just dropped it or UK refused to send him over here at all. It's a black eye on the 1st amendment, and I've seen enough.
This was after these guys had already left prison. Confirmation of conviction was easy. The rapist has since been convicted of the rape he was accused of while he was working with me. But he had already been convicted for another rape and did his time before being hired. Not sure how these guys slipped past the background check

Hot take, it's an author who wants total power over computers and is upset that Turing completeness impedes that power. If they were thinking pragmatically they wouldn't have gotten into the argument linked in the post about Zig comptime.

The optimist's gambler's fallacy says luck is a constant attribute of an individual, and if someone gets lucky they are more likely to have a high luck stat and thus be more lucky in the future. The pessimist's gambler's fallacy says luck is a consumable resource, and if someone gets lucky they consume their luck and are thus less likely to be lucky in the future.
Excellent stuff!
If "tired" recommends books about gaining energy, why does "lonely" not recommend books about meeting people?
I'll bet your backpressure mechanism can react at least an order of magnitude faster than your scaling mechanism.
How would that change the constitutionality (or lack thereof) of the matter?
Completely agree. Let states experiment and learn from each other.
I imagine all the signs about don’t abuse the staff and incidents of abuse against hospital workers went up at the same rate as the wait times. Abusing the staff is wrong but you have people that have come there because they think they are about to die without attention, they really don’t have a choice
I don't want to defend medical care in the USA. I lived in a different country for a long time and loved the access it provided though not every thing was good. But, even there, Japan, they are struggling to provide the care needed.

I'm curious how you would resolve the limited supply (# of doctors) to the infinite demand (population of people needing medical attention)
User stories/Tickets has been a common theme, Im curious if this work is exclusive to specific set of actions or if you are constantly are having to respond with different sets of data like specific testing notes, PR comments, etc. ?
I was: regardless of your failure to activate your teammates effectively, they were your teammates. There's zero chance everything plays out exactly as it did if they weren't there, unless you found some glitch in chaos theory along the way.

Jay miner who lead the design team for the Atari 8-bit series went on to design the Amiga chipset.
Honestly a mental swag. To put actual numbers in it, life expectancy was 20 years, now 80 years.

That means roughly 0.9% chance a of death per year now, vs 3.4% ancestrally. Thats 73% of deaths avoided per year. I think that compounds year over year since those people who would otherwise have did are also alive to avoid more deaths.

So, even at the indisputable low end… 73%.
The South's war on women and women's healthcare is another reason that's driving medical professionals to leave for richer, bigger cities... or at least areas that don't threaten you with the pit and gallows for providing life-saving care.
I desperately wanted to gamble with slot machines when I was a minor. When I reached 21, I had lost all interest in them.
decentralized approaches would be resilient to that.
Well, the "nice" side effect of robbing people of their dignity is that they will also treat institutions and others with the same lack of dignity, perpetuating a vicious cycle.

You don't want to be a part of American society when social trust hits 0 and a majority of people have nothing to lose, with how many guns are floating around.
Fun as it is to pin this on the CEO I think this fundamentally misses the mark. Corporate culture in big companies are largely consistent over time and only moderately swayed by whoever is at the helm.

There is also the rather inconvenient fact that the 737 max mcas design debacle and the build date of many of these planes predates the current non-engineer CEO.

Besides he was literally just made CEO because he was replacing the ENGINEER CEO that was at the helm during that debacle.

So I read headline like this and frankly just sigh

Fixing company culture is difficult though so I guess this guy falls on his sword with golden parachute and then we all whine about MBAs and pretend problem solved.
Author here.

No, I do not.
You could remove artificial limits on the numbers of medical school and residency slots, but then doctors would get competition.
Who is going to pay for it and who is going to decide what’s appropriate? If the government decides, what happens when a party is in control of government that has opposite views than yours?

I'm not sure why at that point it's even considered an ER visit.

Clearly if you can wait 10 hours for something, it wasn't an actual emergency. Are hospitals just gambling that these people won't die in the waiting room? What's actually going on?

Is there a perverse financial incentive to drag it out?
When the going gets tough, hit the delete button
Hopefully the courts cut this down in the cradle. It's clearly an attack on 1st amendment rights and state laws can't supersede the 1st amendment. Whether your kid is online on social media or not is the responsibility of parents. Conservatives rail against the "nanny state" and then pull this junk? I'm glad it will most likely be shot down in court quickly and decisively. Laws like this are toes in the water to see how much freedom repressive state governments can get away with.
>I have to protest here. Reversing and using the rudder on a 40ft boat works perfectly fine. I've done it on multiple sailing boats. You need to hold tight so that the rudder wont slap you if using a stick.

this is a stupid argument from all users , comparing a 40ft sailboat to other 40ft sailboats is like making a broad assumption about cars when comparing a dragster to an SUV simply because they have a similar singular aspect.

ANY sailboat, regardless of size, can have poor reversing performance just simply due to its hull shape and rudder plan. Some boats famously cannot reverse with authority due to the turbulence created between the parts. Some boats use feathering propellers which collapse inwards when reverse is applied in order to make a more efficient sailing experience, which effectively makes propulsion reversing useless.

There is NO generalized '40 foot sailboat' in existence. They all act different, and there are some that are perfectly capable of doing what other 40 foot plans might consider IMPOSSIBLE.
I have used this. I delete comments on reddit when they get to negative one karma, so it's out of sight out of mind. I find trying to explain never works as the decision has already been made that you are wrong, so delete.
Ask HN: Have you guys used the newer Claude models in production?
Hey all!

I have been using the Claude Opus and Haiku models since they dropped and its a very different feeling compared to other LLMs.
Haiku with the longer context window and inference speed feels amazing to use and prompt (its not so hard with few-shot examples)
Opus just feels much smarter compared to GPT4 at this point.

What has your experience been with these models?
Also writing, editing, sound engineering, voiceover work. I’m not saying it’s great art but there are a lot of filmmaking disciplines on display here.
Not yet. :) All I have so far is a minimal Flask app that worked well enough for the last party. Working on building something new in Go for the next iteration

I have seen people create quite a variety of music styles on SunoAI. Are you using v3?
Not sure about tedious but code reviews do come to mind. IMHO code reviews are super important but the context switch between coding and reviewing code gets to you at some point.
So...next week then?
I was just pointing out the absurdity of your hyperbolic comparison to heroin.
That's because people get tangled up in the idea that Unicode glyphs are supposed to be imbued with semantic content. Remove that, and the problems go away.
It’s arguably now a fair bit more modern than the US system which hasn’t been meaningfully reformed since the 18th Century. For example the US president is essentially just an elected George III.

> With Btrfs many people immediately use the btrfs check --repair command when they experience an issue, but this is actually the very last command you want to run.

Ok. So what's the recommended approach?
Dump the metadata and start hand culling from there?

If the tool doesn't exist,it just not yet ready.
Yeah. The standard advice for a person looking to make friends now is, "have you tried Meetup?" And, speaking from experience, it's not the same.

The thing is, a Meetup doesn't ask very much of its members, which leads to loose ties: "I'll go until it stops being fun, or I get busy, or I get a better offer." People take their religion much more seriously than that.

And that, in turn, leads to a different social dynamic: when you expect everyone around you to still be there in 5 years, you treat them differently.
If you don't control the url of your content (i.e. outsourcing it to a social network), you control nothing. All the other details of interface and interoperability can be worked out. If you can't redirect the traffic, you're out of luck.
Yeah. The gender-exclusionary approach of the Masons keep me out of it despite knowing some great folks in it. And I left religion behind, having been raised in one that infantalizes its adherents and enforces strict patriarchal hierarchy.

I don't know anything about the Elks except my aunt lived down the road from a lodge.
why? we have like 200,000 edible plants known so far, yet, we have a pretty monoculture type of behaviour when eating... investing in tech for this type of thing feels a waste, unless we start to live the utopia of infinite resources
I love this. I’m in appsec and bring up the halting problem all the time to developers to get them to think about the security landscape. The halting problem is why security is a unsolvable problem at its core.

The real world consequences of this problem are something we have become desensitized to. I didn’t quite understand the impact of the halting problem until I started working in security, specifically for a company that made a SAST product and I had to support the scanner for companies across the globe. There will always be a 0-day market because of Halting problem.

If you think down the road 20 years. Virtually everything we touch will have internet. It will all depend on a program checking a program. Since no computer can guarantee its correctness on its own. Exploits will always be able to chained, and everything will always be exploitable. Including AI systems.

A book I read had a quote that said if you want to make a product that will generate infinite profit, create a static analysis scanner.

I’m not a mathematician but the Halting problem always reminds me of the Godels incompleteness theorem in a way.

I think these are the greatest gifts humanity has ever discovered.

It means there is always hope for humanity as long as oppression depends on technology, because the technology will always be flawed.

There is always a undiscovered theorem that has to potential to change everything we know.
In practice, yeah, this is the fix in most systems because in a microservice context it would feel gross to have a slow consumer reach out and throttle a fast producer.

It’s still important to understand though because autoscaling has its own back pressure that you run into eventually. Accounts may have quotas or regions might be out of a given instance type, or out of a type at your preference spot price.
How Do Animals Respond to a Total Solar Eclipse?
We were. Then a few decades of legislative capture, private equity, and neoliberal gibberish about "service economies" drained all of the opportunity out of rural and semi-rural America, consolidating what was left in major metro areas.
Assange did not break into any computers. That was Manning.

Publishing US state secrets is not a crime in any other country.
Good point, when I think of business leaders like Jack Welch, "avoidance of hard, meaningful work" is my next thought.

Different people are specialized for different things. Do you think Jack Welch would have helped the world more if he had worked as a backend developer at GE, rather than as its CEO?

Being a leader is just a role on the team, same as any other. Somebody has to play quarterback. And the guys who play quarterback are a better fit for that role than anyone else on the team.
Your numbers and definitions are apparently based on cooked google search results and are wrong. You should read more about how cows are fed and raised before forming opinions.

93% of cattle's caloric intake (whether grass or grain finished) does not compete with human suitable food sources.

Also, all cattle are grass-fed for some of their lives:

https://extension.okstate.edu/fact-sheets/print-publications...

>While the diet provided to finishing cattle in feedlots relies on some human-edible inputs (i.e., corn grain), the forages and byproducts fed to cattle throughout their lives are largely inedible to humans. For example, once the entire lifetime feed intake of cattle is accounted for (meaning all the feed they consume from birth to harvest), corn accounts for only approximately 7 percent of the animal’s diet. The other 93 percent of the animal’s lifetime diet will consist largely of feed that is inedible to humans, thus not in direct competition with the human food supply.
Yup, this is basically the best starting point. It is just a different kind of monopoly, which also often gives the illusion of achieving an elite, illustrious lifestyle when the reality is that many physicians start in serious debt.

> In each week’s TV Guide, [Scorsese] would note the movies and shows that caught his interest. A full-time video archivist in Scorsese’s New York office would then record the telecasts from a kind of audiovisual hub made up of multiple VCRs and monitors, which could often be active at all hours. The tapes were meticulously labeled, cataloged initially using a library-like card system and later a computer, and filed away for Scorsese’s personal viewing and research.

Seems like he said what he wanted recorded, then paid an archivist to archive them.
Hard seconding this, it’s so important. It’s really easy to get the seat height vaguely correct, there are a ton of YouTube videos explaining how to do it.
exactly ES is 50x S&P 500 futures price or 10x MES, current value per contract is about $263,800
Yes. Dolphins and protective features for this sort of scenario are more standars now.
Yes, a large fraction of ER visits aren't emergencies. Typically they triage new patients, take the actually critical ones immediately and everyone else waits.

I'm not sure wait time is an informative metric, vs something like survival rate for different kinds of conditions.
