Here you go, you can learn how the algorithm works yourself. https://medium.com/hacking-and-gonzo/how-hacker-news-ranking... Fair warning, it's written in Lisp.

I listen to the whole team. Including the people who have to pick up the work left by the person on leave. Don’t get me wrong, I insta-approve leave requests that are measured in months. A year is just too long.

I don’t think it’s that per se, for instance Meet has been innovating in small ways to the point where I believe it’s way better than Zoom. But not all Google tools are innovating at the same rate.

"out sick" is one thing. Taking a full year off is another. Our capacity plans include set aside time for people for sick leave, vacations, meetings, and things like "Hack week", etc. We don't have capacity set asid

How utopian. I manage a team with hundreds of engineers on it. If I have someone who is taking a year off (with pay I presume), I have to give their work to people. Once enough people do that, I have exhausted the capacity of the team and w

I actually think it's the other way around, at least for some people. You care for them because you've invested so much time and effort into them.

I honestly believe you're wrong here. There's no exclusion for not profiting from your unlicensed use of a patent, you're infringing regardless of how you use it. Whether or not someone will sue you obviously brings into ques

I'm pretty sure (dueling IANALs!) you can't. This is why patent licenses are such a key piece of OSS packages that you want companies to be able to use.

This all seems like good stuff, but as someone who used to work with Moxie, I think the obvious should be stated: the only reason for an interim CEO is to move out of the role immediately. He could just as easily have stayed in the role whi

So, I recently took a trip that is 7.5 hours for a gas car (my friend did the same trip in her Audi) and took me 9 hours in my electric car with ~220 mile range. It definitely made me want to think about 400+ mile range cars, which seem to

Hey neighbor, we moved into town so Comcast is available. Other options will be great, though!

The only time charging is a hassle is long road trips. And honestly the really fast chargers make that only marginally painful.

I was with you until tortoise. US English speaker here, but I have literally never heard anyone say “tor-toys”. I think I’d have a serious moment if I did. Is there some link you can throw our way to demonstrate the point? YouTube?

I was hoping someone had made a context menu that is 28 feet long when you scroll through all the options. Sadly, no such hilarity presented itself. :)

It’s only “wrong” in the sense that many people feel like it’s wrong with no objective basis for their beliefs. That said, when enough people feel a certain traffic behavior is wrong, it becomes true despite objective fact. Late merge when

Never stopped being an issue of some magnitude to me. Sadly it was followed up with issues of much larger magnitude, resulting in a redefinition of “huge”. Which kind of makes your point about Overton windows.

I wouldn’t feel that way. Not paying those loans has a large impact on people’s ability to do relatively normal things like buy a house or get a non-POS credit card. Those effects won’t go away even if their loans are forgiven. I do think y

You can find a thousand clearly corrupt things Trump himself did in office, but sure, let’s talk about Biden’s son’s history.

That’s like saying you wouldn’t want a teenager driving in the city vs the suburb, or a freeway vs regular road. These are normal conditions in Sweden.

It’s funny you use Switzerland as your example, which has the Cantons. To an outside observer they are a first order approximation of US states. They even have citizenship!

CoreGraphics and the associated screen capture APIs have been around for a very long time. However they aren't particularly easy to use and do require your app to be trusted (reasonably so). You can't have just any old Mac app sta

You can solve this without layers on the Moonlander, or any keyboard that allows you to load your own firmware. For instance, you could configure your number keys to have a "press and hold" generate the corresponding F key. The &#

If you haven’t, you really should check out the Moonlander that’s referred to elsewhere in this thread. I switched to it from a Kinesis Advantage 2 and couldn’t be happier.

It isn’t true for me, but what the ZSA folks point out is that for small hands you may need it tilted upwards to make it natural to reach the thumb cluster.

I’ve used both extensively and fully switched from the Kinesis Adv2 to the Moonlander. I believe what gp is referring to is the (obvious) structural difference between the two. With the Advantage 2, your hands are largely resting on the fra

I had been using the Kinesis Advantage 2 and for me there was almost no adjustment time. It did take me quite a while (two weeks) to get used to the Kinesis.

This. Every company I’ve ever worked at, and that includes very large ones, will have legal, HR, and finance tell you at some point that “you must do X”. Sometimes X is no big deal and you do it. Sometimes it’s hard, and you ask the busines
