Ask HN: How do you approach disagreement with your superior? 4 by reubens | 1 comments on Hacker News. I’m a first year doctor from Victoria, Australia. This is my first year working in a team-based context, making decisions for patient management. I’ve had a number of experiences this year with bosses whose management I disagree with. But I haven’t come up with a useful, constructive means to voice this disagreement. Medicine is often a chaotic space to work, which doesn’t help, and your work satisfaction depends fundamentally on your relationships with your team. Looking to hear any tips from others who have wrestled with this issue.

Question about Firebase, auth and react 2 by macklemoreshair | 4 comments on Hacker News. I’ve been thinking through what has recently been the biggest pain in the ass in the recent react project I did, and id like to know if I’m crazy or if we did this wrong. We have a few thousand lines of code specifically for managing users and a simple wrapper around our dynamo backend. We couldn’t find a react component for login flows, so we build all this logic ourselves - login page w/ social login - register page - logout - logic for redirecting you if you were already logged in - logic for redirecting you to login if you aren’t logged in - forgot password - verify - demo user account - notifying users of password requirements - handling failed registration - handling failed logins - handling google social login We integrated with cognito and dynamo, but I think that even with firebase or aws amplify we would have had to write a lot of the logic ourselves. Did we do something wrong? Is thi

Ask HN: How many pages does the average website have? 2 by tomcam | 1 comments on Hacker News. Writing Yet Another Static Site Generator and am wondering how much work to put into the MVP's search function. It generates a JSON array of the site keyed by page name, title, and body text. My instinct is simply to do an array filter this time around. If the average site is under, say, 500 pages I assume this will be plenty fast. My Google fu failed with such queries as "how many pages does the average website have", instead returning pages and pages of articles about SEO and the minimum number of pages a site needs. In a world as analytical as web development I'm guessing there must be a ton of studies on this subject, but I can't find them.

Unicode 13 sextants advances state-in-the-art terminal rendering 4 by dankamongmen | 1 comments on Hacker News. I'm the author of a blingful TUI/character graphics library by the name of Notcurses. One of the core competencies of Notcurses is rendering images and video to a terminal (without undue shrinking of the font). Leaving aside asymmetric rendering such as that performed by caca (see Notcurses documentation for an explanation of why I don't think this a good general approach), common symmetric rendering techniques include spaces and Unicode half blocks ( and ). This last method is employed by tools like viu and mpv's TCT output, and can be considered the general "state of the art". Notcurses had already gone past this with its Quadblitter, making use of Unicode 3.2's quadrant blocks to map 2x2 pixels to a terminal cell. With the advent of Unicode 13's Legacy Computing Symbols (and rollout of font support for them), a powerful new symmetric blitti

Fair market value vs. strike price 3 by um-not-my-name | 0 comments on Hacker News. Our 2 year old startup had a 409a valuation to, amongst other things, set the strike price of our options. The board held back significant amounts of information, including the total value and fair market value. The strike price was set at 1.25 per share, after they had suggested numerous people would get a price of 1 per share. Come to find out, the fair market value is .90 per share, which puts the value of the company at less than what they originally told us and to me shows some shady behavior. Is it typical for a strike price to be set so much above fair market value? Is it usual to not divulge that information to share holders and optionees?

Ask HN: Privacy via Containerization for Browsers, Andriod and iOS 2 by whatifchange | 0 comments on Hacker News. would it be better if Andriod, iOS and all Browsers introduce containerization for every web and native apps. This should very well help tackle the cross-tracking of user behavior and they will live in their own contained world, thus reducing their ability to track anything outside of their own running service.

Ask HN: How do you call a Git blog? 3 by mprime1 | 3 comments on Hacker News. I started to download some private thoughts and notes in a public bare GitHub repo. I find it a good storage medium for some of my notes, bookmarks, lists. And has benefits such as being able to simply link to my thoughts rather than composing the n-th email about the same subject. Over time I also want to throw in code i have laying around, host my CV and maybe make it my homepage. Is this a thing people do? Does this thing have a name? GHB would be the natural acronym and that would be a terrible idea. P.S. Thank you HN for being a place where I can ask this question and knowing people get it. I appreciate the feeling of community. P.P.S. If you're reading this and thinking: PURDAH. Call me

Ask HN: Please stop writing tutorials/tech articles on Medium 100 by gls2ro | 34 comments on Hacker News. Let me put this as simple as I can: Writing tutorials on Medium means you are putting them behind a paywall, thus restricting learning opportunities. Medium is not StackOverflow, it limits the number of articles that can be freely read. If you ever learned something from a blog or from stackoverflow do contribute back by sharing your knowledge open on the internet not behind a paywall.

Ask HN: Why are documentation only showing 1 example if any 3 by julienreszka | 1 comments on Hacker News.

Ask HN: Can a no-code service do this? 3 by gnatman | 1 comments on Hacker News. I want to build an iOS app to make my life easier. I'm certain that other people in my line of work have the same problem, and could benefit from a convenient solution. The MVP requirements that I've listed out are complex enough (VOIP capability, some api calls, database stuff) that I'm wondering if I'll be able to do it with an "app building" service or if I'll need to learn how to code it, or pay someone to code it. Not sure this is enough information for a meaningful answer, so happy to chime in as necessary in the comments.

Ask HN: RFP Worth the Effort? 2 by pkrotich | 0 comments on Hacker News. My feeling are - it’s a distraction because of outrageous number of requirements and effort/cost required. To me, the process is geared towards more established players and as SMB it’s not worth it. I’m curious to hear from the community on your experiences with RFP - do you respond to unsolicited requests? How did it work out for you? Have you won a big contract/license out of RFP?

John Adams, on the Suicide of the United States 3 by lettergram | 0 comments on Hacker News. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to say that democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious, or less avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy. It is not true, in fact, and nowhere appears in history. Those passions are the same in all men, under all forms of simple government, and when unchecked, produce the same effects of fraud, violence, and cruelty. When clear prospects are opened before vanity, pride, avarice, or ambition, for their easy gratification, it is hard for the most considerate philosophers and the most conscientious moralists to resist the temptation. Individuals have conquered themselves. Nations and large bodies of men, never. — John Adams, 2nd President of the United States

I am in the process of writing an essay to send to my CEO on why we need a good Software Project Manager that practices Extreme Programming (XP), and what value it will bring. This is just to ensure we find the right person for the role, and the transformation process involved. The current situation is that I have been forced into a management position role (Actually I am spread-thin among many roles), when I know I am not equipped for the position in the slightest and my efforts will just cause long-term damage. I have been doing some hunting around for references; however my issue is that I am having trouble finding references around the history of software development, and the efficacy of the methods. Listed below are the following papers and sites to read through currently; I am just collecting at this stage, so I have a fair bit of prep-
