This reads very much like a Udemy PR piece. I’ve seen these types of moves several times in the enterprise and it seems to me an HR covering-its-ass move so that they can fire people with cause for not having the skills to perform a job rol

I saw this equally across the UX, WebDev, and product management immersive graduates. I don’t doubt that GA started with good intentions, but it seems clear that they got caught in the typical startup trap where they get ‘forced’ to priorit

Predatory indeed. I know of many people who were previously working service industry jobs, saved up the $10k for a GA course with the promise that they’ll be making $150k/yr in ~12 weeks. I’ve personally interviewed around 25 GA grads,

This is such a great point. I remember first seeing ads in gmail and trying to figure why it made me feel physically nauseous, while the early implementations of Google search ads seemed completely reasonable and inoffensive. It was definit

Do you have any data on that? In practice I’ve only seen this for semi-recent top40 major label releases. I’m referring more to the sheer volume of back catalog older/indie music that users have digitized from vinyl. I’ve talked to sev

They still are anything but sad about it. The amount of pirated music on their platform is mind boggling.

The author mentioned Scrivener, which does have an excellent card view.

Leading with UX could be a good (the best?) way to both aid adoption by the normal folks AND let a sane set of requirements emerge that steers the solutions to the most desired set of problems. As much as most people on HN would like to hav

From the project summary: “You can use this hash to link requests from the same source, without identifying your users by IP address” So perhaps it is/will be possible to take actions against bad IPs.

I can’t imagine the selling point from a consumers point of view either. I can imagine extremely well the field day fb product managers must have had with the notion of a 24/7 real time data feed of people’s homes.

Ha! I was just thinking about this ‘HN collective consciousness’ the other day. Not sure if I’m just more aware of it now or if it is actually occurring more frequently.

Build a gentoo system each day for seven days on the same hardware with the same configuration(package versions, USE flags, etc) and see how well they match up.

It’s almost impossible to achieve any sort of reproducibility when all packages are built from source. Portage is a great tool, but I always thought it was better suited to build packages and operating systems as opposed being an end user p

Mostly the same feedback, though I’m curious on the performance differences you’re seeing with strongswan. In my setups, strongswan seems to induce ~25% hit, compared to ~15% with tincd. I’m a noob with strongswan so I’m sure it’s something

Your last paragraph is a tall order. Too many conflicting priorities. The only way I could see this happening is some open/decentralized chat protocol takes hold and private companies build nice UX on top of that. Sadly, strong UX is n

Too bad this comment is getting down voted. You don’t have to talk to very many people from outside the affluent bubble to hear the resentment. Sure it’s anecdotal evidence that “they are getting pissed”, but it’s evidence none the less.

Absolutely. As he mentions in the letter, they are friends. I’m sure he’s knee deep in most of Sineks’ philosophy on orginzations and products.

RMS dscribes ‘loudness’, not quality. The current breed of class D amps are shockingly small and and have pretty decent audio specs(thd, rms, etc). Unless you are expecting a 50lb analogue >500w audiophile quality amp, I’m not why you wo

You definitely do not need a user account to use your hue lights. IIRC, they create an ad hoc mesh network and don’t actually need WAN to operate.

When you think of it that way, in practice it really is the exact opposite of the “Serverless” buzzword - it’s 100% definitely absolutely requiring a persistent centralized remote server. Decentralized solutions 100% definitely absolutely d

This looks very interesting. How real is this? Looks like they had targeted Nov 17 to ship. Anyone know if there are units out in the wild?

Fascinating commentary. The paradox is that the more you attempt to tie practical/tactical things like Lean, Kanban, meditation, diet, excercise, etc to a broader perspective, the more likely the average person will actively resist&#x2

An excellent example of the difference in approach! The “bullshit” emphasis on form before function is a pretty standard part of a 3 stage learning method - naive and unquestioning memorization of rules/form, unique combinations of the

Counterpoint: I can’t imagine a guitar player, dancer, skater, basketball player, mechanic, or whatever, actually achieving greatness without having spent a significant amount of time ‘just playing around’. I’ve heard plenty of guitarists a

Ha. Such fond memories. I remember being able to play multiple mp3 files simultaneously(just because you could!) in BeOS at a time when win98 was lucky to play one without stutters and pops.
