Once you take money from investors, you have both a legal and a moral responsibility to them.

It's important to remember that selling equity is really selling something, just like selling a product. You can't sell something, take somebody's money, and then just not deliver. What you are selling to investors, generally, is return on investment.

The real problem comes in because founders and VCs have different understandings of "grow fast". There will come choices that have different levels of risk. VCs always want you to take the high-risk, high-reward path, because they have a portfolio company and are looking for the few really big winners. You, on the other hand, are trying to build something (team, community, product, etc), and so you will favor slower but safer growth.

I guess in theory you could sell VCs on a high-growth approach and then turn around and say, "Ha ha, fuck you, we're going to keep your money and try to grow modestly." But a) VCs are way better at their game than you are, so they're hard to fool, and b) then you're an asshole, which is bad on its own and also has consequences for future relationships (and future funding). Plus, if you're in a VC-fundable space, you'll probably have competitors who are also taking money, and they'll be able to outspend you on future rounds.
While I applaud the spirit, I don't think actually implementing it like GateKeeper is a good idea:

It is a shame this comment will be downvoted only because it does not support the confirmation bias of many HN users.
> If you don't know what you're doing and install apps from the app store without examining them closely

That's completely orthogonal though, because Play Store is Google's walled garden. What Google allow you to do, in addition to downloading things from their walled garden, is also side-load apps completely separately from the walled garden.

There's no evidence that the ability to side-load causes an increase in malware/crapware.

Good luck.

The point the parent was trying to make is that the lock operation of SVN was quite convenient for preventing a dual-edit scenario of assets that aren't easy to merge like 3D meshes, scenes, PSDs, etc.. It's easy to sit in the ivory tower of text merge resolution given how easy it is in comparison. The atom of change in other tools are quite a bit less obvious. Sure you can diff a mesh, but merging usually just means redoing it or picking one or the other.
In my experience, most Atlassian products are slow as hell, with Bitbucket being among the faster ones. Confluence can maybe control a space shuttle with all its features, but it's slow to a point where it becomes unusable.

We evaluated JIRA as well, but it didn't work well for people like who are in many different projects at once and don't want to spend days trying to build a view for all those issues (that encompasses swim lanes and such). Also, as you've mentioned, it's pretty slow.

We settled with Trello and are relatively happy.
Creating Long Term Value in Developer Relations
You should go to a vacuum cleaner repair store and look at all the repaired dysons that the customers don't even bother to come back and pick up.

Statements like this concern me "It looks like an epoxy was used to weld the 2 ABS parts". I'm not sure "weld" means what they think it means.
I'm saying that the flashing/side-loading is the back door. A malicious actor with physical access to your phone (think screen repair shop, TSA agent, etc) could flash a compromised OS or install malware on your device.

Also, there a lot of not-savvy people who will follow instructions in a well-crafted email or pop up and allow themselves to succumb to spyware and malware.

> Makes it difficult for customers to disassemble their products

I've always found this a strange assertion. Decades ago perhaps this was true, in that such bits were a touch obscure and required a search. Except in my case, where I tagged along with a friend to a HAM show and picked up a set of security bits on a lark. That turned out to be terribly useful over the years.

Even a pretty standard multi-bit set (say 20-24 bits and a driver handle) I got ages ago had several sizes of torx bits. These days, any half-decent hardware store stocks torx drivers and bits it seems. That's not even counting what I'll imagine is a few clicks online to obtain virtually any bit needed.
Yes. Also, you can read and debug more easily.

We used Redmine for a while, but never got the Ruby stack to perform good (we are a PHP shop, so..). I remember the insane version dependencies ("redmine revision x to y needs package P in revision a to b") and that it seemed to stagnate in its development.

In the end I'm happy we ditched it in favor of Trello.
Recently finding myself hating staring at screens more and more, I've dove pretty deep into the world of board games and its incredible. It reminds me a lot of the earlier days of the web — the group is still small enough to be niche, and there isn't competition so much as there's a general willingness for everyone to succeed together.

People create new ideas and then other games will iterate and improve the mechanics until you end up with some I pretty genius stuff. And if you try to create your own games (which I am), then you'll find another sub-niche of people that are even more awesome. Nearly everyone is friendly and really happy to set aside generous amounts of time aside from their undoubtedly busy schedules (because there are very few full-time game designers out there) to help you out.

It's the same feeling I used to get from Internet stuff.

As for the games themselves, they've come a long way from the days of Monopoly and Sorry, and they're not all games about slaying dragons or waging war. Check out games like Scoville, where you're a pepper farmer growing new peppers to aid chili recipes, or Camel Up, a game of racing and betting on a wacky camel race, or Tokaido, where you're traveling on the road between Kyoto and Tokyo trying to have the best experience along the way. Anything might make good game fodder, and people aren't scared to try it all.

Board games are so fun and low tech. It's a great way to get away from staring into a screen and to actually find a way to be social while keeping people of their phones for entire hours at a time.
This got two down-votes. I wonder why. Downvoters care to explain?
Any big-O analysis is necessarily done with a context of assumptions, most importantly the machine model.

You can derive that a hash table is O(1) if you add the assumption that the size of the keys is fixed. This assumption isn't generally wrong, but like all assumptions it has its limits.

I personally think the blind mantra that "hash tables are O(1)" is destructive because it fosters an intuition that they're akin to a pointer dereference and strictly better than trees, when really that constant factor is huge. After all, when memory is bounded (and it always is on any physical machine), every algorithm is O(1)!

Given that the hash table construction is designed specifically to be constant-time on the model of a modern microprocessor, I think it makes sense to look under the hood a bit and see how it really behaves if memory and nkeys are truly unbounded.

And in this case, that result is indeed informative when you start thinking about things like cache hierarchy. The assumption of a table "fitting in memory" goes out the window when for a given size, "memory" could be L2 cache with a higher access speed, or not.

In that previous thread you say:

> the defining (good) thing about STEM is that there's actual logic to the discipline, where if I forget an answer, I can re-derive it

Each letter of S.T.E.M. is its own field with its own methods. It's easy to forget this, because when all you're doing is rote learning in school, they seem awfully similar - follow a pattern of technical steps through to its conclusion. Specifically, math works by having a foundation of assumptions for each problem, and outside of that context any solution is meaningless.

For this particular topic, "assume keys are fixed size" is an assumption you just have to memorize the idea of, just like for big-O notation in general you have to memorize the assumption that constant factors don't matter.
Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the context.
Cool, how do you merge After Effects, Autocad, Cinema 4D, Unreal 3 Packages, Illustrator, Sketch, Blender, XSi Lightwave or any other of the production packages that I've seen used in shipping actual products? What happens if no one used layers in your Photoshop file and collapsed history to save performance?

There's a reason Pixar and most mid-large game dev studios use Perforce or a similar tech, it's because fundamentally you need locking if you're working with binary assets.
My best guess is "something something good Christian marriage something something godless liberals something."
Apple supports CISA though which is pretty much poison to privacy...
I was at a job where we did that in the early 2000s.
The security benefits come mostly from curated package management in general, not limiting the device to one particular repository (the App Store).
So they record/log every single phone communication in the US, only to filter out every single phone recording made in the US?

That doesn't make sense. How can you tell who is talking on the phone anyway? And what if a US citizen was talking to a non-citizen?

Regardless, the point is that backdoors - even if used 99% of the time correctly - opens up your phone and all its nitty gritty details of your life to adversaries. IDK how the NSA phone logging worked so I can't really comment on how safe it is. None us can. That's sort of the problem.

It's slightly different in that selling media was originally Amazons core business. First books, then DVDs, then Kindle.

Streaming (music or TV) is just a new distribution and pricing mechanism for the same product. For Google, social media is a fundamentally different product to search. You can argue that they are both ways of 'finding things' but there are still huge fundamental differences.

What would we do if we didn't have apple to protect us from our own ignorance?

Apple is fallible. If developers can break out of app review constraints by using carefully included bugs[1] then the only solution is actively monitoring what the apps are doing. If that's the case, what value-add is Apple's walled garden? Just keeping out crappy programs? I think there are plenty of solutions for discovering what programs are good or not, as we've been working on that problem for decades now for computers specifically, and centuries in the general case.

To answer OPs question, no I don't find battery is usually an issue but when I need it then it is.

I'm curious how sustainable these schools are in the long term. It seems like there is a limit to how many entry-level devs in a given language and framework you can pump into the local market before it becomes saturated. I suppose you can cycle through technology stacks and hope the market has soaked up enough devs before the next class comes around, but it seems like there is a limit to how big the schools can grow. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out with many of these schools getting pumped full of venture funding.
Neither of which would be aided by opening the walled garden?

Which isn't to say I don't think there are advantages to Android's model and that of more open package repositories in general, especially for power users. However most of Apple's base is people who don't care about openness or extra repositories, they want their iPhone to work with a minimum of fuss and not have to worry about malware like you do on Android.

The fact that we can only point to a single (XcodeGhost) cromulent exploitation of the Apple App Store stack is a testament to how good Apple is at maintaining the relative security of the iOS ecosystem.
