it may be true that these have different causes in a particular situation, but given the variability and length of employment in most companies and projects for everyone involved (managers and programmers) I would think it more likely that a manager wouldn't actually have enough data to reliably separate the two conditions when dealing with it.

None of this affects me. The only way to make an employee care about this kind of thing is to pay them, and treat them, well enough to care.

You also need enough free time to care, which isn't nearly as common now that every team at every company is running on a skeleton crew.
I know this is just about pthreads, but if someone is interested in the topic, Narain Gehani did a lot of work on concurrency in C in the 80s/90s timeframe[1]. Even had a compiler for a language called Concurrent C[2] that didn't gain any traction.

Good point! I still call that an Easter Egg because it is hidden. It took me months until I figured out that a long press on Enter allows movement of the map viewpoint. And then there is the sub menu providing the same feature.

For outsiders:

You’re move the map by turning your handlebar and riding in another direction. It automatically follows your position, heading and zooms in an out (depending on travel speed and upcoming turns). And routes are planned ahead of time on the computer (i. e. GPX) because you usually don’t want the shortest route between to points.

So the feature flyingcircus is mentions isn’t needed?

It is seldom needed. You can use it if a road is blocked to search the area for alternatives or looking for another riders current position (GroupTrack is awesome and complicated to setup) if far away.

The 840 (buttons + touch) solves that, for twice the price and is bigger/heavier. Or if you want avoid touch, more buttons :)

The old eTrex series feature a kind of TrackPoint serving as cursor-keys and enter-keys. I kept mine, because it shows many good design decisions (AA-Batteries, SD-Card, TrackPoint…) but of course it cannot compete with the Edge 530 (Turn-By-Turn Nav, Training-Status, Sensors, WiFi…).

An Edge with this kind of TrackPoint would be awesome.
How long? I don't think a library would last more than 100,000 years given natural disasters and plate tectonics etc. All you need to do is make a reading device that can last for a similar amount of time. And if the device itself wouldn't last that long then you could provide as much long-lasting equipment or material as possible to help build it.

The scenario you're describing is incredibly specific. It requires a post-apocalyptic world where humans have survived, but have somehow completely lost all ability to access past knowledge. Civilization must be advanced enough to access and read a library that has been shielded from the elements for millennia, but not advanced enough to build microscopes or lasers, even when given precise instructions on how to do so. It must be far enough into the future that any possible small high-tech reading device we could create is unlikely to have survived, but not so far into the future that a very large library structure is likely to have collapsed.

Show HN: Krixik – Easily sequence small/specialized AI models (pip-installable)
Our initial intention was to experiment with a smartbook idea, but we couldn't find a good prototyping tool for small/specialized AI models. That rabbit hole took us through vector databases, through infra for small AI, and finally here.

We’re particularly proud of the accessibility/simplicity of our code syntax.

Krixik’s model library is limited to eleven model types (modules) and a few dozen models, but we will significantly expand it. Other enhancements, like a local client and several 3rd-party integrations, are also planned.

You require API credentials to try Krixik. You can quickly get them through this form: https://forms.gle/WZ6PegC7pcmuGNNC9

> a shit manager

This isn't about a singular individual, it's about a group of professionals. You have to deploy systems thinking. If you give a cohort a tool that allows and incentives them to do worse at their job, the average person in that group will perform worse.

I like my boss; I have also built a skillset and frugalness where I don't worry about working for someone I don't respect ever again. But I still care about what's going on at large and trends. I don't want downward pressure on the average. Not only will that slowly seep into effecting me, I also care about the lives of the people at points in their career where they don't have employment opportunities that allow them to avoid bad management.
That all sounds great until you're dealing with deepfakes that come from a country without an extradition treaty?

Absolutely, debugging is one of the things that can benefit very well from the knowledge graph. Our debugging agent has the ability to look up a function's "neighbours" i.e. functions that call it and function that it calls. This way it will be able to do more comprehensive debugging much better

Your experience is probably of American conservative evangelicals. Even within that triple subset I could find you people deeply interested in the origins of texts (e.g. the translators responsible for the NET Bible (http://netbible.org). Your experience is narrow. If I can give an analogy from IT, this is like talking to a few people training for an MCSE, and concluding that no-one is interested in computer science.

> So who is this research for?

The first work on links between the gospels goes back to about the 3C, and there have been discussions on the origins of the different books since before there was a canon of the Bible - in fact this was one of the early motivations. The academics currently working on origins of texts are a mixture of Christians and non-Christians, and as such, their motives differ. These academics are usually found at traditional universities, not the Bible colleges you refer to. Non-Christian scholars have the usual motives of academics. Christian scholars have the same motives, but add the drive to get back to the original teachings as far as possible. As to who uses it: generally priests, preachers and the like preparing services, and Christians in private study. It tends to be discussed in commentaries working at the level of whole books of the Bible rather than verse-by-verse commentaries. For the specific case of Q (or the alternative Farrer hypothesis), this will generally be found under the heading "The Synoptic Problem", though verse-by-verse commentaries will often discuss parallels between gospels.

By the way, for those who are interested, there is a reconstruction of Q here: https://www.livius.org/sources/content/q-text/ - but bear in mind that this assumes a single Q document, which to my mind is not necessarily true.

AthenaSQL: SQL query builder for AWS Athena, inspired by pySpark SQL
Hi Everyone,

I work in adtech, where we handle massive log-level data. To cut costs and improve performance for ML and optimization, my team and I chose a lakehouse approach using AWS (S3 + OTFs / partitioned Parquet + Athena + Glue).

One challenge we faced with this data stack was managing Athena queries in our ETL jobs. Since Athena handles much of our data-heavy processing, we ended up storing hundreds of lines of query code as strings in Python scripts, which quickly became a nightmare to maintain.

We needed something similar to PySpark SQL that could output SQL string compatible with Athena. So we built athenaSQL. It mimics the PySpark SQL API, providing a familiar interface and outputting SQL queries directly.

It is far from complete at the moment but it has most of the basic query statements. I would love it if you could test it out and share any feedback! I hope someone is in need of such a tool, if it lacks the functionality you are seeking, let’s build it together! And feel free to critique it as much as you like. :)

This is up there in "performance art" because the robot would take forever. Mitsubishi apparently has a robot that can do a normal cube solve in ~0.3 seconds (https://www.livescience.com/technology/robotics/this-ai-powe...), which they developed to show off their precision manufacturing. They mention one run that did 15 moves in 0.204 seconds. At that rate it works out to ~19 billion years to run through all positions.

We also can't rule out that Gaia or Odin made the world five minutes ago, and went to great lengths to make the world appear ancient.

I agree with several posters here who say to use Cloudflare to solve this problem. A combination of their "bot fight" mode and a simple rate limit would solve this problem. There are, of course, lots of ways to fight this problem, but I tend to prefer a 3-minute implementation that requires no maintenance. Using a free Cloudflare account comes with a lot of other benefits. A basic paid account brings even more features and more granular controls.
> “don’t help managers”

Managers are people too, despite of what Dilbert will have you believe. They need help, support, and tools.

It's true that many tools and frameworks are sold as magic pills that solve all the problems. Metrics are one of those tools that are often misrepresented. I think that many of the tools are helpful, if used skillfully.

You can't manage what you can't see. You see your team through your direct interactions with them. You see what they do through the artifacts that they produce. You learn about them from others - hear-say, praise, complaints, and gossip. You also get another perspective through various metrics. You need to combine multiple ways of seeing a team to have a more-complete picture. Take any of them away, and you're a little more blind.

I remember when I first transitioned into the manager role. There was so much that I needed to learn. Some of the tools gave me insight into what is happening on the team that I really don't get to observe directly. However, none of the tools did my job for me. I learned by reading, using new tools, and experimenting. Over time I honed my ability to be able to understand what my team is doing well, and where it needs help. If someone took away ALL the metrics-based tools, I would have fewer ways of evaluating my team.

Managers need as much help as anyone else to do their job. This also involved introducing new tools, and teaching managers how to use them. In a large part, that is their manager's job. Sometimes they call me to help.

I agree, I love the Mazda approach to this in my CX-50. I'm not even sure if the display is touchscreen or not, because I always use the wheel-clicker thingie in the console to control it.

This was an intentional design choice from Mazda, of course, that goes hand-in-hand with their philosophy of giving such control to the driver that they "[feel] oneness with the car, as if it is an extension of their body." [1]

When searching around for a quote like that, I found a HN discussion from 2019 about the Mazda decision to eliminate touchscreens. [2]

It's interesting that the third-party consultants hired by the city to implement it aren't named in these articles and "Oracle" is taking the brunt of the blame, much like "Ticketmaster" doesn't care if you don't like them or not, you're going to use them. It's not just Oracle's fault for a 200m pound invoice, and I agree jumping from SAP to Oracle is probably one reason why the customization costs that much more than going from some smaller accounting system.

You have third-party consultants charging for addressing all the mistakes in the system, present on daily chats and constantly chasing them around for support. Oracle's always upselling you on the parts of the system you haven't implemented yet.

The actual municipal employees are making 75% (my own estimate) of what their industry peers make in salary so they're just trying to do their job as they found it, not attempt to replace the status quo with a "solved, open source, one-size-fits-all solution" like so many here believe various ERP systems are. Everything sounds better on paper.
SCO still sells OpenServer5/6 and Unixware7

SCO is gone. A company called Xinous bought OpenServer and UnixWare at the bankruptcy sale and are the ones now selling it.

Although looking it their website it is clear that nothing in the software has been updated in years. They 'brag' about their latest features like Java 1.4, USB 2.0 Support for printers and IDE ATA-6 hard dive support (now supporting drives >128GB!). Also it seem like it's been a while since they looked over their licensing. Their 'small business' license is for computers with up to 1GB of RAM and their 'enterprise' server license supports servers with up to 32 logical cores and up to a mind boggling 16 GB of RAM.
