I cannot find the HN thread, but here is an article on the topic: https://www.theverge.com/a/luka-artificial-intelligence-memo...

The first batch is really great, sound quality, narrative and voices are top notch! The characters and the stories moved me a lot, I'm going to listen to the others for sure. Many thanks!

Regarding ideas: - I was wondering what HN would be like under the Program, what transformations would occur? (related to the threads about moderation, or the ones thanking the community) - would the Program have "cognitive" biases like the current machine learning models? - would Apple still create iPhone SE ? How would the company react to a Steve Jobs bot created from all the digital content we has from him? (related to a thread about bots speaking like dead people made from analyzing all digital content)

Thanks again!

This is a great idea, and the others projects you're working on are very interesting too!

One thing I wanted right away was to enlarge the video feed of one person so I could better see him, attend a presentation, etc.

The other "need" is that I wanted to interact more with the environment and play with others, even if I have no specific idea.

Anyways this was very fun and I'll try in my company next week, many thanks again!

Talk Python to me is great, the host Michael Kennedy dwells into each subject : https://talkpython.fm/

All podcast from The Changelog are really good too, the team brings interesting views : https://changelog.com/

From the past, the best one I know of is This developer's life http://thisdeveloperslife.com/ It revolves around the human side of things, with great narrative and sound

"Dreaming in code" by Scott Rosenberg

It tells the story of a software team which has everything, money, talent, time... but doesn't find how to materialize their idea. I've kept the warning in mind ever since

Does anyone know of it works with Ansible ? Thanks!

I would focus on the fact that people do not seem to understand that you're only pausing the discussion.

I'm not aggressive myself either, and when the other person is not behaving correctly I make it clear: "when you are abusing me I do not want to continue this conversation. I need you to be respectful / control your emotions /etc. Let's stop here for now and we'll resume it when you've cooled down". Conversely, I've also stopped conversations because I wasn't in control of my emotions and needed some time off.

If some of your co-workers keep forgetting you paused the discussion, maybe follow up with a short and to the point email ?

What helped me tremendously is to work on "non violent communication", the concepts helped me express what I feel/need without abusing the others, which is one of my core tenants.

In any case, I also strongly advise you a therapy, for instance maybe your "abuse detector" is really sensible and you need to calibrate it (I've done that for anger and I'm stressed a lot less).

You can also speak with your co-workers : were they really angry ? Did their arguments was really about what was discussed? Maybe this is just their normal way of communicating and there's not so much heat as you felt.

Finally, are you sure you're expected to win more arguments to be promoted? Do you a clear list of what you need to achieve from your manager point of view ?

There's psycopg-cffi which does the job

My reader app is on my main screen and games are three levels deep, so that reading is quicker than any other activity. Works great!

The Digital Antiquarian did three pieces on adapting Dune a to a screen (movie and game): https://www.filfre.net/2018/11/controlling-the-spice-part-1-...

These are great, inspiring, detailed oriented articles which brush the history of the teams who loving the book, tried to port it. The first part gives many details on Herbert inspiration and sources, and explain what drove Jodorowsky and Lynch (among others) to make a movie out of it. The following articles are about the games, Dune 1 and Dune 2 (the first RTS game!).

This is a great read and the whole website is a treasure trove of great articles about the history of many games of legend, check it out!

This is the start of a very good podcast, the Program http://www.programaudioseries.com/

Each episode is a character explaining how the Program changed his/her life, episodes are very moving. The first one describes how it all started by a social network controlling money and thus people actions. Oh and it's mainly optimistic, that's a nice change for the subject!

"The Program is a historical podcast, but a one that’s set in the future and examines the present day. The world of the future is exactly like ours, except that Money, State, and God became fused into a single entity called the Program. This hardcore sci-fi premise however is just the backdrop, and the series focuses on stories of ordinary people inhabiting this extraordinary world."

There's a great podcast about infocom games which is very funny to listen to even if you don't know/play the games (that's my case)

Researchs show that inequalities have a very negative impact on group cohesion. I'll look up the relevant researchs if you want.

Either choice is a bet. We choose to abort the pregnancy because we had first hand experience with spina bifida going very bad, and felt we protected our child from the unsufferable suffering many of them live through, but there are some amazing exceptions in this thread.

We'll never know if we made the right choice, and I wish with all my heart this kind of surgery was available eight years ago, holding her corpse broke me completly. At least she is not suffering.

As a data point, 4 hours later I'm #194387 in line

Just today, AWS announced a fork of Elasticsearch: Open Distro for Elasticsearch - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19359602

A few months ago, AWS launched a MongoDb fork

The debian/ubuntu packages were pretty outdated at some point, I had to install the latest version manually to fix a bunch of issues just after updating to 18.04

Our business users already hired the consultant and I'm trying to make sense of his answers, but he does seem to be knowledgeable only on using a mouse. We want to create a template dashboard of visualisations, which would be duplicated for each of our customers, each one having its own data source and workspace. New customer creation should be automated through API calls and we would prefer centralize our resources on AWS. That's it. The consultant has been so fuzzy that it seemed utterly complex to set-up, but by reading all the answers things are starting to make sense. Redshift would be great, thanks for the pointer!

Many thanks for the API link, the expert was completely unclear on what may be possible on the automation side (full api configuration without using a mouse).

Yes exactly, so the only way to have a non public database is to run a Windows vm on AWS, I would rather avoid that, especially because we need one vm per customer. Thanks for the detailed write up!

Would you share the ones you found worthwhile? Our business wants PowerBI, but the sys admin side sounds like a pain : it seems we need: 1) a consultant to setup the visualisations 2) either a vm running windows server or create a db on azure to update manually because powerbi doesn't allow aws databases 3) the api automation capabilities are unclear says the expert (eg: create a new dashboard for a new customer ? Update all the visualisations through a script? Etc)

PowerBI feels so Microsoftish, I'm really on the market for something else

Side remark: A few screenshots and/or video would be a great intro to get a feel of the program

The Django doc does that, actually they encourage newbies to triage and give pointers

It seems so ! They suggest others ideas on the contributing page [0] : - Improve the documentation or write unit tests. - Triage tickets and review patches created by other users.

I also imagine that reaching committers through irc will bring some ideas to work on.

I am in the same boat so I dug some more and here is a list of easy tickets : https://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=!closed&easy=1

https://changelog.com/ has many very interesting developper podcasts

Look for previous posts in HN about this subject

It is seems based on the classic trick of inventing an enemy ready to be defeated...

I think writing would be worse, especially in case of communication issues, since it would hide the misunderstanding.

In that case I would start by explaining very clearly that is the intensity of the words to be used, whether they express low/medium/high scale. And I would also explain even more clearly what's the level of intensity for me, so that the person understands what is at stake. In fact, I do it even with native speakers, clarity is godsend.

It is hard to express tone through text, even between people who know each other well. Situations worsen depressingly quickly, it's too easy to feel offended.

From experience, I refrain from giving any negative feedback through Slack and go speak face to face. I also watch out for any misunderstanding lasting longer than a few minutes, even if it's between others people.

Hedonic index increased tremendously at work in a few weeks when co-workers started doing the same.

Juniors I know all need to focus on the error message: read it, understand it, and then apply the scientific method : formulate one hypothesis, test it, analyse results, rince and repeat. Each experiment should other a path to what's next.

They are also forbidden to stay stuck more than one hour without requesting feedback(actually that's a rule for everyone on my team).

Pairing with seniors is a great way to learn too, you'll discover tons about what makes your company's code special.

You can block stackoverflow.com, or at the very least avoid searching on it before having tried to __understand__, not solve, the issue.
