I see some overlap with Zach Holman's guidance on talks and (in particular) slide decks. His opinions/advice made a strong impact on my approach to presentations. * https://zachholman.com/posts/slide-design-fo

I haven't seen anyone share an author-filtering use case yet, so here's a lightly-edited version of my "git mine" alias: log --no-merges --date=short --author="cyranix" --stat This allows me to skim thro

I believe using `defaultValue` instead of `value` would be an appropriate remediation.

A lot of comments here seem to be focusing on project management as "how do you sequence the day-in, day-out, never-ending pile of work". I would encourage people to also consider a project as, y'know, a non-trivial discrete

On the "talent pool exhaustion" idea: it's common knowledge that almost no one goes to Amazon with the intent of staying there long-term. From what I gather, they're still grappling with people staying just long enough t

Is there any forum in which the justifications used to diminish the impact of NSLs can be shared? It strikes me that one of the daunting aspects of objecting to NSLs is that precedents are not well-known. Is it legal to share any details ab

The "A" in NDA stands for "agreement", but NSLs are not jointly agreed upon: they are the one-sided assertion of the government's authority. Not disagreeing with the idea that there aren't a variety of reforms

To clarify: is this a full-time position that pays only in non-fiat currency?

Along the lines of "alternatives to burials" — and probably of interest to the people here discussing leaving bodies in open air — the Criminal episode on the TSU body farm is absolutely fascinating. I haven't set up anything

This seems like an appropriate place to suggest that anyone who finds these kinds of attack vectors interesting should check out the bug bounty program for my current place of work, which processes loads of CSV and Excel files from governme

Yeah, there's a lot of subtle racism. But there's also some pretty overt stuff. Look no further than our local conversations about homelessness and housing affordability, right?

I hear about racist behavior in NextDoor Seattle as well. The Stranger (local alt weekly publication) has covered it at least once before, as have some other publications. From what I gather, the situation is a microcosm of what we see on a

Similarly, the cost of Seattle's tunnel was greatly inflated by the little mistake that halted Bertha.

I think your conclusion is a result of oversimplifying the concept of Chesterton's Fence. The idea can be restated as "Don't remove what you don't understand", but that doesn't imply "This thing is impossi

The focus on a theme reminds me of another magazine I subscribe to: Lucky Peach. Their issues focus on chicken, or pho, or power vegetables, or breakfast foods... or more abstract themes like "Versus", "Fantasy", "G

Definitely agree — and that's not a knock against checklists. Externalizing a process that previously existed only in someone's head is a win. Creating a checklist is a straightforward framework for such externalizing, and allows

Nice to see one of my company's (Socrata) customers on HN!

Yes, twice. First I was hired for a mid-level mostly-remote web dev position at Moveline and stayed there roughly a year until the company folded. My current job at Socrata, where I've been quite happy for the past 18 months, also came

Which is why I usually generalize this advice to "Read code". The majority of what you read should ideally be good code, but seeing both a good way and a bad way of doing the same thing is sometimes necessary.

I agree wholeheartedly. As a gamer who now only makes time for games I can play for short sessions, Spelunky was an absolute godsend. I've only put it down because my gaming time is even more constrained and because I achieved my perso

I'm not seeing a lot of comments describing first-hand experience with a holacratic system, so I'll jump in. I was a developer at Moveline (which shuttered, sadly, this past December). Around the start of 2014, the company adopted
