I think there's a big difference between "activating" a muscle and "getting utility" out of it. Sure, maybe it activates sometimes, but what does it do ? Well... nothing. It's a vestigial structure.

This video from Husqvarna 2 years ago doesn't sound like it's a motor noise. Sounds more like an onboard beeper that can emit single tones. This, in my opinion, is rather disappointing. https://www.youtube.com/watc

Are you allergic to cellulose or amylose? Because those are the two molecules the plastic is made of. They're not making plastic out of gluten.

All I'm seeing here is a commenter who has made a claim and won't support that claim with evidence. I wish they'd answer your question.

Ah, yep. You're right. I overlooked that part. It looks like it's truly non-reversible—even if you don't care what the resulting input is.

Maybe I'm being incredibly naive, but it seems like this would be trivial. Can you just start with the output hash and then essentially run the algorithms backwards? Obviously the resulting "input" would be random-ish garbage

It's not security through obscurity. In fact, it's the very opposite. You can see the process exactly. The reason this is secure is because the process itself doesn't work backwards. You can create a hash using this algorithm

In my experience, there's typically more than one "smoking gun". The problem isn't finding one, it's eliminating all of the "smoking guns" that aren't actually related to the outage. If I worked at an

I had the same thought! Earplugs for the sound might not be a bad idea either.

I asked my thinkingrock if it could think and it said yes. Really though, "thinking" is very hard to define. Do animals think? Do insects think? Do bacteria think? I'm sure somewhere we could find an example of a "living

Ah! That's what happened! I read the article and then came back to HN and couldn't find it. I thought I was crazy...

Well said. If you look into some of the research and theories on leadership, you find a very different picture. You could someone a leader any time they have influence over people toward a goal. With this in mind, you can see that an "

It is! Most people pronounce the first part of Hashicorp the way you say "hash" (as in MD5). Technically it should be "haw-shee" because of the last name Hashimoto. Side note, internally a pseudo company name used for ex

Yeah, titles like "staff engineer", "principal engineer", etc. are good because they imply expertise rather than responsibility for direct reports.

Ooh, I think "maker" would be a good word for it, though it's pretty inextricably tied to hobbyists.

I honestly don't know why more people don't hear about it and use it. Probably just hasn't hit that "critical mass" yet. I haven't used all of the tools out there, but I've used ECS, K8S and Nomad. Nomad s

I'm an employee, and I doubt he's hiding anything. Even while working as CTO, he has kept an ear to the ground in engineering and periodically participated in design discussions and other things. I really think he just genuinely e

Frankly, I love it. The attitudes that have made the open source community welcoming are the same ones that permeate the company. Generally speaking, people are very friendly and helpful. That said, it's a job and your mileage might va

It's strange, it feels this way at Hashicorp, too. I was a little shocked when I was new to see Mitchell occasionally commenting on RFCs, messaging people to ask questions, and updating documentation. If you didn't know his title,

Maybe technical contributors? You're right. In the most efficient organizations, leadership lets the technical decisions bubble up from the experts, rather than dictating them from the top.

As an employee of Hashicorp, I'm very excited for this change. Not that Mitchell was anything less than a great leader—on the contrary, I thought he was excellent. It's just that he's also got such a great ability to identify

All of the Hashicorp products are primarily open source products. While there are enterprise features and cloud-hosted versions of some of them, FOSS is the foundation of the company.

Exactly. Once I realized I didn't like Amazon's tactics, I started switching to other sellers. For example, I now buy books on bookshop.org. For every type of product I want, I've managed to find a decent alternative either o

> "Perhaps the easiest way to avoid outages is to simply to make fewer changes." The exact opposite is true. When a process happens infrequently, it's more likely that the people involved will make mistakes and overlook st

I'm familiar with NVC and I think it's an excellent framework for communicating about performance related matters in the workplace. Glad you brought it up!

I'm a bit late replying to some of these. I think this is great advice. I'm definitely aware of how much a poor performer has a negative effect on team morale. I like how you say "don't be selfish by being nice." Yo

This is interesting. I haven't experienced the type of performance reviews you mention, but I can see how it might happen.
