That's not talent shortage in the market as a whole, just in your segment of the market. Many people are just unwilling to work at a startup, especially if it pays peanuts. Pay more. Offer more perks that large companies are unwilling to offer. Above all, quit pretending that your equity is worth anything.
I think that like most things, it's complicated. I think both the pundits/media and corporations (aside: the media is a bunch of giant corporations) can be behind this marketing push. Whether they knowingly worked together or it's simply a coincidence is another question although it's very likely to again be a bit of both.
Most startups don't offer nearly enough of an equity stake to compensate for the massive salary gap vs. FAANG. I don't know what your offering is, but I haven't seen an exception to this in a long time.
isn't it a problem if a module's permissions may increase without explicit input from the module's user (transitive or otherwise)?

The modules permissions can't increase without explicit input e.g. changes to the policy file. But the person who cares about the sandbox integrity is the user of the overall software or computing system. The plugin developer doesn't really care how the API is implemented or what permissions it needs. They just want it to work. The person who cares is the person who owns the resource or data an attacker may be trying to breach.
I think the language permits the IDE rather than the other way around.
Yeah the tensions were really unfortunate. In the long run it resulted in more competition which benefits all of us; but in the short term it made people’s lives more stressful than they needed to be.

I actually have a slightly different explanation of what set it off. I don’t buy the “docker is suddenly under pressure to make money” explanation. Docker was a VC funded startup since 2010. They already had a business when they pivoted to Docker. As far as I know they kept the same investors and board. So it seems unlikely that they suddenly remembered that they needed to make money. More likely they planned to make Docker as ubiquitous a platform as they could, at which point there are many known avenues to monetize. Also, the CEO they brought on board, Ben Golub, had just spent a year at Red Hat after selling his previous startup to them. So he was certainly familiar with Red Hat’s business and strategy, and probably on friendly terms with their leadership (this is speculation on my part).

And in the early days Red Hat and Docker were in fact partners. Docker engineers even implemented features specifically to please Red Hat; for example devicemapper support and storage drivers, which were developed by Docker for Red Hat.

The problem is that the partnership was built on a misunderstanding. Docker was hoping for a distribution deal between the two businesses, with revenue share etc. and intended to keep control of their open-source project. Whereas Red Hat was hoping to make Docker their “new Linux” which involved no partnership with Docker and instead taking or at least sharing control of the project as they did with Linux. Each side was slow to realize the true intentions of the other, whether by naivete or deception I don’t know. This still surprises me because both side’s intentions were rational and entirely predictable. I think a lot of wishful thinking, and possibly some individual incompetence in leadership were involved. For example Red Hat has never actually partnered with a smaller startup and shared revenue with them in the way Docker was hoping, so I’m not sure what made them so confident it would happen. In any case, when the fog lifted, bitterness and conflict quickly followed.

In the end Red Hat shifted gears to Kubernetes as their “new Linux” which was a much better match for them. Then proceeded to rewrite history to minimize Docker’s role; which is unfortunate but understandable, I guess. I know a lot of Docker employees are personally hurt by it, to this day. It doesn’t feel good to see your work swept under the rug for reasons of competition and ego.
I noticed that too, but it's possible that there was an absurd spike of traffic that halted the entire pipeline and they never got tracked.

GME news travelled absurdly quickly. The two events lined up too well.
There is a neat size comparison of the Andromeda galaxy (178 x 63 arc minutes) and the moon (30 x 30 arc minutes) on APOD: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap061228.html

I am not impressed.
I opened this up because I saw the title and thought, "hmm that's strange, isn't string just an alias for String"? I'm pretty sure every C# dev I know would say the same. Then again if I was asked a trick question like this in an interview I might scratch around for some/any difference I could think of!
Ah, my apologies, I think that was HackerNew's markup at work. The '* ' wasn't there when I looked before.
Specific to your case, if your transaction volume is very high you should contact us. We're certainly open to volume pricing depending on your specific situation, and would love to learn about how to best serve/price your specific use case. sales@stripe.com is the best contact there. bkrausz@stripe.com also works :).

More generally, international KYC and compliant payments are quite hard, and our pricing there is very competitive. Domestically we saw that many companies were already paying similar rates on our fixed-fee pricing, so we weren't actually hurting customers in the US (on the contrary, we were encouraging more frequent payouts for the same rate, which would help everyone by making a more efficient system). We felt that the benefits of consistent pricing were worth it here.

Re standalone vs. managed accounts: our preference is that we make standalone accounts such a great and easy-to-use experience that everybody starts using them, because dealing with things like information collection and tax reporting is annoying. However, we're letting our customers dictate that. If managed accounts become immensely popular, it means we haven't made standalone accounts easy enough to use, or we've made an incorrect assumption about the world (likely a combination of both). Regardless, we intend to support managed accounts for a very long time, and have already had them around in some less-built-out form for quite a while.
I have tried Atom, many many times.

But i always get annoyed by how SLOW it is.
> like any other programming language

some real-world programming languages don't have undefined variables :)
As someone who uses the commandline a lot but isn't exactly a wizard, why does this work?
My impression when looking at HN is that people are not that impressed with Atom. Nobody I know in the real world uses atom, but I'm a poor data point.

The reason why everybody is up in arms about every minor update is that a lot of people see every little peep from the dev as (hopeful) proof that the project isn't dead.
So, the article's own reporting seems to undercut its thesis. The governor who ran on an (unsustainably) large UBI-ish check, ran into trouble almost immediately and was almost recalled. The check which was actually issues was about 1/4 of what he had promised.

Democracy isn't able to prevent any mistakes, but it does offer the possibility of not making the same mistake repeatedly. It looks like Alaska's political system took about 2 years to figure out, and correct from, the lure of unsustainably large UBI-ish checks. That's really quite quick, for a political system.
As I have said before in response to similar comments: HN has no problem with humour. Where it differs from, say, typical reddits is that in order to get upvoted rather than dowvoted, humorous comments have to actually be funny.
I've followed every day of testimony and at no point has there been any evidence that fraud (in the legal sense) was committed or that the regulators did anything except what they were statuarily required to do (and by that I mean nothing).

The testimony and finger pointing is shocking but the regulations (such as they are) have achieved their goal of sufficiently diffusing blame such that no one party is responsible for any of what happened.

The industry is self regulating and there are no legal powers to punish the guilty.

It's basically the same setup that the ratings agencies had for the 2008 crash, "buyer beware" (we even privatized the regulator). Nobody went to prison then either.
On the flip side, if you have six months or more of expenses in a brokerage account, you don't need to sell all of it day one. And if you sold a little at a time over six months during the covid crash, it wouldn't have been as bad of a loss.

And you need to compare that loss to what you would have had if you sat on cash for all of the time leading up to the crash too.

I'd be willing to bet keeping it cash would have been worse in most cases (depending on specific amounts and time frames and monthly expenses).
the griddy model is that everyone should take a sort of second job as an electricity trader, but not make any money doing it.

it wouldn’t be a problem if it were just a matter of paying a little more or less, that would be great.

but there are catastrophic tail risks. so you have to constantly be watching because if your vigilance slips for even a few hours at a crucial time it could financially ruin you. traders at least get paid to do this and can de-risk when they need to.
No, it should not be spam, something meaningful.
Here are a few things which come to mind when looking at your pricing:

* Your pro package is too cheap. If you're in the DevOps market space, I'm willing to bet that 99.99% of your potential customers would be as willing to spend $10 per month as $1 per month. If you can demonstrate a savings of one man-hour of labor per month, you could probably charge $100/month without too much difficulty.
* Your pro package is too expensive. As a recent guest to your site, the free and the pro plans look very similar in terms of benefits. Why should I go to the trouble of whipping out a credit card when I can be lazy and just use the free plan that looks almost as good? My guess is that you have a bunch of freeloaders who will never convert to paid either because they are cheap or they don't need any additional service.
* It's not clear what the benefit of your system is to your users. On the front page of your site, you should have a clear explanation of how a customer's life would be better if they gave money to you. You're assuming that your entire audience not only knows what IFTTT is, but you're also creating a dependency on IFTTT to explain the benefits of your own product.

As a first shot, I'd try to think of the types of users who would benefit from using your product.

You could tier by many different characteristics - response time, monitors, types of reactions, monitoring intervals - even access to https. If you can break down your potential customer groups by willingness and ability to pay, you'll have a better idea as to which characteristic(s) should change from tier to tier.

I have a free chapter up on customer value that you might help - http://taprun.com/pricing
In the 2010 Boréal conference Ted Chiang had an interesting take on the singularity and the computable brain. There is a transcript (in french) here : http://www.actusf.com/spip/article-9802.html.

To sum it up that is what he says :
"There is this thing called ethnobiology, a sub-dicscipline of anthropology, that studies the way civilizations understand and represent the living things.
Ethnobiology reveals a constant in History : we tend to compare our brain to the most complex technology we know.
At the Renaissance, philosopher assimilated the brain to a very complex and subtle clockwork, Freud compared it to a steam engine, which pressure should be evacuated to avoid explosion. In the 40's, schoolboy and schoolgirls were told that brain was like a telephone exchange. Today, computers are the most advanced technology we know, so we tend to compare our brain to it. But like our predecessors, it's very likely that we are wrong.
Let just think forward, and admit that we are totally biased by the fact that computer are now inherent part of our life. Let's admit that there is a chance that our brain may never be modeled by a computer."
I really love this, and look forward to using it. I especially like it because there is now way you are going to confuse this for filled in content and launch a site with it in there.

On the subject of placeholder text: some like it, some hate it, most use it. If you are a designer, and use placeholder text, please, please, PLEASE, I beg of you, don't use the same bit of text for everything. Grab a bookmarklet, or widget or whatever to generate random lengths of text for everything. There are so many designs I've gotten over the years where it looks fantastic as long as every bit of text is exactly the same height, but as soon as placeholders are filled with real content, the design looks horrible.

Also, any designer that stopped delivering PSD's and started delivering markup, if we meet in person I'll buy you a beer.
Atwood was (is) a C# developer, and before that he was a VB.NET developer. These days he also does some Ruby and a bunch of other stuff. His initial MS/.NET focus and more generic usability rants were half the reason I started reading Coding Horror. Which is 100% of the reason why I joined the StackOverflow beta. And blogged about it. And rewrote my site from the ground up in one of the ASP.NET MVC release candidates.

You're correct that ASP.NET MVC was new at the time, but with guys like Scott Hanselmann comparing it to an acoustic guitar production versus WebForms more full-studio approach, and with Phil Haack on the squad, and with the corporate blessing from Microsoft and promises of future integrations, this was not some fly-by-night project that required a lot of faith to invest in. It was a clear case where Microsoft got something right, thanks to a small team of talented devs.

Consider: for the first time in history, you had the ability to write clean C# code in a web context with full control of markup and proper separation of concerns, sans cruft or baggage imposed by attempting to stretch a "desktop" metaphor over an request/response medium. Don't underestimate the psychological effect of this on programmers who'd been spending their days in the trenches builting line-of-business CRUD apps with ASP.NET WebForms and unbridled VIEWSTATE. So to me, ASP.NET MVC was the clear and obvious choice for StackOverflow. If you accept that, what better language than the C# he already knew?
Ultimately, growth is limited by physical constraints, given our current understanding of physics. But it seems extremely premature to be worrying about this much unless you believe a singularity is right around the corner. And even then the idea of the singularity implies to me that we have no ability to predict what will happen - perhaps there are still enormous leaps to be made in physics that make our assumptions unfounded, or perhaps a greatly increased understanding of ourselves will eliminate our desire to continue to pursue growth indefinitely.
>Mobile devices and easy connectivity signal the end of the only market Microsoft has been able to dominate completely.

Mobile devices signal the end of PC? I see you have bought this Post-PC bs hook, line and sinker. PCs are going to be important for quite a while, I don't see many people replacing their PCs with tablets or phones, they seem to be just using it as an additional device.

One of the biggest innovations in computer Go has been the idea that you can evaluate a position in "monte carlo" fashion, by just playing a few random games from that position and seeing who wins. I don't know whether the same idea extends to Chess.
Agree, I am impressed with how Textmate development has been going since it was opensourced, but my point really was that OS issues, bugs and incompatibilities can quickly add up over the course of a year or two, without any active development. The advantage of something like VIM or emacs is that they're first and foremost terminal based, and are shielded from a lot of these issues.

Lets also not forget that Sublime text isnt free, and i am sure paying users dont really want to be left in the dark for 6 months to a year.
This will keep its picture while the power is off, right? So it could be a black and white 'canvas' that you hang in your lounge and change the picture every now and then.
So, when exactly did you record my average chess play?
That's a lawsuit waiting to happen right there...
Well, now the National Guard has been deployed, so I suspect we'll soon see a sharp change in atmosphere
I'm a mid-level developer at my company and work alongside the company co-founder, who after 21 years is still deeply involved and active. The best part is he still thinks fart jokes are awesome.
You're forgetting the largest player, which dwarfs all the others 10 times over - the US itself. The US propaganda machine is so far ahead of Russia and China that even discussing Russian and Chinese influence over the Internet of all places is laughable.
Millennia of philosophers have searched for Truth, and as far as I can tell we are no closer to definitively finding it. But it seems to me that the best way to find the truth (with a small T) is by rationality; the alternative is irrationality which seems unlikely to be effective. My hope is that, by collaborating using the tools of reason combined with our own personal Truths, humanity could do our best by everyone involved. I don’t know for certain that it will work, but it seems like the best way we’ve got.
You believe this because you have no idea how incredibly scrutinized the process is. There is a reason that there are Poll Watchers from both parties, including lawyers and independents to ensure that poll workers don't put their thumb on the scale.
lol, 'your dream job at Facebook' to me would be pulling the plug and stopping it from earning money that doesn't come from benefitting humans.

Stopped reading here.
For an archival format though, SVG is likely a better choice. The small difference in size is worth it for long term accessibility.

Do you have any evidence of armed rioters storming anything? The only video I have seen is people "armed" with flags, signs, banners, phones, and cameras. Has anyone been beaten to a pulp? Have buildings been looted, vandalized, or burned down yet? "BLM protests" gained a well deserved reputation before the police responses became aggressive. I don't recall the police doing much of anything until after they allowed "peaceful protesters" to storm and burn down the police precinct and the rioting/looting began.
What’s the status of nightingale? In use or not?
It's fairly easy to forbid, but very challenging to regulate. Yes, it would be better to do it properly, rather than ban altogether, however chances of that succeeding are not great. For the end user it's not worth the effort and resources (and that's who would end up paying for any introduced processes around this).
I know if I was a dictator, I would definitely agree with it!
A very dumb and easy question. NYT and WaPo have hundreds of journalists, so the average would be in the tens of thousands. You cannot compare an individual and a corporation in such a way. And yes, the most popular journalist today is exactly Tucker and he is not that much more thrustworthy than NYT/WaPo, at least to me.

P.S. While I agree with Pool only ~60% of the time, he has around 1.5M on his other channel.
If a website isn't accessible on Chrome, Edge, or Firefox, it's effectively deplatformed. It's a tiny fraction of the population who even knows HOW to sideload an app.
What are you actually saying?
That's very much what's happening. The latest year for which I can find easy data (2018)[0] shows that over 600,000 legal abortions took place. That is aided and abetted by messaging that the primary concern is an expectant mother's choice to terminate or not, and the feticide is often deliberately obfuscated by concerns about general obstetric health, even though very few pregnancies pose a significant health risk that would require termination. Now don't get me wrong, I'm pro-choice, but we should be honest about what's going on here. Even pro-choice advocates always talk about it "not being an easy decision" for most women, so there is definitely a lot of persuasion at work, both in direct consultation and in broader messages spread by leaders, advocacy groups, and the like. It doesn't change the reality of feticide, which depending on your ethics, can be considered a wicked act.

Chrome is open source. It would just get forked.
Much more so since the election.
I wonder which apps were used to plan the nation wide riots over the summer?

Or was that a dream?
My OnePlus 3T is nearly 4 years old now and has 6GB (and is really showing its age...)
In this case it's not just a library like the wrappers for tensorflow already present in many languages (including python), it's something like a Swift language fork in which the language constructs are analyzed by the forked compiler during compilation in order to directly generate an equivalent tensorflow execution graph (without manually creating a tape through library calls). Thus it's a Swift (compiler plugin) for tensorflow.

The intention was to merge the fork into the main language making Swift differentiation tools first class within the language.
The general idea is not to backup these devices.

To make a backup, you get 2 different keys and set them both up. The second one you keep somewhere safe, for example in a safety deposit box at a bank.
It says something about the lengths we have been trained when we simply don’t know what to do in lack of a signup button

(It’s what it says; the list of characters. Those who find this useful presumably have a dictionary already. Or you can use eg jisho.org)
That's not a technical problem, sounds like incumbent problem to me. And this also negates your argument that Bink is needed because hardware can't support other codecs. Apparently it's powerful and it can? So why even bring that as a reason.
Definitely more than 'arguably' more useful. The intervalometer alone fills in for a $129 piece of hardware [0] and the HDR recording, although far from the standard of a Blackmagic camera, allows a $500 consumer SLR to produce HDR video where a $2000 camera would normally be required.

And those are just the features I could easily equate to money. There's also the zebra striping and so many other features I can't think of right now.

Magic Lantern is beautiful.

By my definition, violence carried out by the state is not terrorism because it's a different tactic.

The message sent by terrorist actions is that your state is illegitimate because it cannot protect you from our tiny little group. It makes no sense for the state to send this message to its own citizens - it's goal is the opposite, by definition. If a state is directly trying to send the message to citizens of a foreign state that their state can't protect them from you, that's ordinary warfare.
Back in the day, I wrote the first book specific to the Apple II and programming the 6502 on that platform. It was pretty popular at the time, and Doom's creator, John Romero, started out with it. Recently Chris Torrence revived the book (Lulu), and it's online as well from the original articles. http://www.softalkapple.com/content/assembly-lines-roger-wag...
Interesting. Never thought about that before
