Reading the news, Boeing seems much more affected by critical software bugs than Airbus. I am curious to know how their teams are structured. As an aircraft industry nerd, I have understood that Boeing has a dedicated software team (with a

I think the author wanted to improve on the more flawed idea of counting the number of hours worked. DORA metrics seems to be an even better improvement on the author’s propositions. Thanks for sharing, I did not knew about it and it is int

Remember that bicycle are the most efficient way to move a human, that’s where the Steve Job’s quote « Computers are bicycles for the mind » comes from [1]. This efficiency never stops to amaze me. And an electric bicycle makes it way more

Many people let 10-100s k€ objects daily out in the open, and it doesn’t seem to bother them. Cars are nowadays quite secure, but back in the 80’s, car theft was a real thing, and it did not stop people to use them. And motorbikes have the

I'll second @viraptor and @hops answers : It is the same cause as the rise of microservices and DevOps adoption, easier politics. I worked for a big old company, and most of the problems were political and administrative. One big SQL d

I have an incredible feeling that this quite short commencement speech is quite complete in its treatment of the subject of one’s relationship to career choices. Utility, originality and personal appreciation of tasks are key parameters in

I see this as a win for everyone. Yes, Mercedes has been faster to get a legal approval but the fact that they got it is a huge win for the industry. Same as the rate of electrification, I think Tesla will not be hurt as they position thems

After several years dabbling with back-end languages and computer theory in my free-time without shipping anything, I have been surprised very recently by how much I enjoy learning front-end, especially for this. I can ship very small snipp

What struck me in this piece is that the author tried to experiment but not to understand what he was trying to do. Chemically/Physically I mean. I became a way better cook when I understood that the Maillard reaction happens starting

Really interesting dive on an experiment. The part on failure has a lot of value. Everyone approach it differently but I felt like Cal has finely tuned its mindset around it. He makes it a happy moment, which is a hard thing to do even if c

Yes, oil is used everywhere. And one reason why is because it is dirt-cheap compared to other materials. However, price does not account for the environmental price paid. That's why even the article is telling that sail cargo ship proj

Personally, I have some tricks that seem to help. I force myself to come up with at least 3 things I am grateful for as part of my daily journaling. I started this some years ago and it really help to change your focus towards enjoying eve

Such a beautiful story in a few sentences. I think everyone can relate and simultaneously find how unique this experience was. Thanks for sharing, it adds life in the middle of arid subjects I can be caught into.

Is it really a problem ? I mean, apart from the quantity of lithium needed to create this « enormous » battery, is weight a real limitation factor ? We currently have no info on the full truck weight but I am sure Tesla found ways to optimi

I think HN has found its perfect niche and business model, and has the level of simplicity required to never get old. Even if it has a dark « false productivity » side, i think its purpose goes towards progress of mankind. PG, YC and its a

What is interesting with this method is that it seems to work effortlessly even on the personal side. I always found easy to maintain an organization when it is shared ; it is the only way to keep the communication easy. Much harder for p

I’m not entirely sure I would want software to be « engineered » like old farmhouses. They were not modular by design but often hacked to be tailored to the usage. It is not that different from hackable software. You can change part of it b

It is surely true for the density part. However I have now seen bike lanes that are two years old that would be efficiently « unjammed » by doubling. Another great aspect of bike density is that when you double the lane you allow way more t

One example : Paris 4 years ago, few bike lanes and very few bikes. Detractors of the newly created ones were arguing about the ressource waste. Today it is one continuous line at rush hour and some lanes are completely jammed. I am not an

I personally think it is one quantitative indication of value. For a same widget at a unique retail price, multiple customer can find different value. It will depend on many parameters, sometime mesurable, but not always. An exemple : a n

I don’t understand the hate here. Wikipedia clearly states that the point of donations is to create an endowment . They need to get enough money for their principal to generate enough money to ensure the project can live even in case of bl

Seems to be breakthrough work. I never went really far into the Fermi paradox and was scared a "great filter" was in front of us. This article seems to imply it is behind us. That makes the need to have a backup planet and expand
