I work next to their brand new WeLive on Mission in SF. And from where I sit, I see trouble.

1. Similar models are popping up all over the city, including the much more sophisticated Panoramic just up a block. Beds starting at $1500. Yes Beds.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LI0tqVmGtI

2. They built the Panoramic in the time it took WeLive to do their interior improvements. And when they were working on it, it was just a skeleton crew. The whole time I was thinking ... how are they financing the building? This is insane.

3. WeLive has a main floor common space, where they've had two? events since they opened. Both were modestly attended, but certainly had a college dorm feel to it. Not anything anyone over 30 would be interested in.

4. There appears to be value-added services in the common area, a cafe, a juice bar, etc, but I hardly see it used.

5. They continue to putter around the building, putting a whole new set of scaffolding up, taking it down, putting it up again, doing some painting, taking the taping down, putting it up again, and I wonder ... what on earth are they doing? They had a year to get this right, what's the hold up.

6. Compared to the huge number of apartments going in across the street -- 1900? WeLive is a ghost town.

(ps. the Trinity has major problems going in to this as well. I see it as a huge bungle for the Planners. But I am waiting to see what the Market Street retail looks like. If it's anything like the Mission Street side, it'll keep that side of Market dead.)

So, in short, WeLive is some capital intensive problems, that a lot of smart people are trying to solve, just up the block and across the street, and nothing I see puts WeLive ahead of these guys.

Especially when landlords stop leasing to them at .5x, so that they can turn around and dormify the building and get 2x for it. Not with Panorama and Trinity right there.
Victoria is nice, but it is a small city and being on the island it's pretty isolated.

While you do have direct access to the said island, there's a limit to how much "nature" activities one can do. Diversity Nanaimo (another city) is utterly unremarkable. Tofino is very nice, but it's 4-hour drive away. Everything else is even farther and unremarkable. Getting to anywhere outside of the island is a major hassle. Victoria International Airport provides fine selection of international flights, though to Seattle only. Ferries are slow and expensive. Floating plane taxis tend to crash now and then, so that's not very good either. So, yes, in theory you can get off the island on a whim, in practice though it's so much hassle that more often than not you simply won't bother. Hence the "isolated" remark.

YMMV, but my experience was that outside of work things get very boring very quickly.

It is nice to see all these WebRTC solutions appear. For teams wishing to do teleconferencing using any platform (mobile and desktop) this is good news.

I wonder how long before a FOSS self-hosted solution is available?

What I couldn't figure out from http://hubl.in though; how is Linagora going to cover the costs of (and presumably raise a profit from) this service? Is it a freemium model, or is the current phase simply intended to garner interest and gain a foothold in the market?

In my opinion the current abstractions that are used in web apps are not good enough. Frameworks may be "elegant" in a certain sense but never get intuitive enough for the average developer, and eventually the framework's author will lose interest as well.

I predict eventually we'll come full circle and get something like ASP.NET forms with Javascript controls that spans both frontend and backend.

IMHO, it's not significantly harder, at least in principle, than on other platforms - in fact, albeit intuitively, I suspect it's easier.

Most high-end FPGAs aren't "burned" the way you would with a logic array by burning fuses. Configuration data (i.e. the connections between the FPGA's tiny components) is stored in a non-volatile memory and is loaded when the device starts. Altering the design is simply a matter of altering this configuration data, which is easy to do dynamically, seeing how there's a closed piece of code running on a closed module which has access to every bit of it.

The problem ends up being boiled down to problems that we're already aware of: authenticating configuration data (which is akin to the problem of authenticating the OS running on a general-purpose CPU), ensuring that the FPGA's configuration matches that which was programmed in the non-volatile memory an so on.

The configuration data loader is, to the best of my knowledge, a pretty trivial piece at the moment, with the exception of high-end devices for sensible applications (which do include things like encryption, so that the bitstream cannot be retrieved in a useful form). But real-world requirements will soon provide a good excuse for inflating it to a level of complexity where backdoors can be hidden.

It's also important to realize that much of the hardware that ends up on an FPGA isn't really arbitrary data, it's in the form of vendor-supplied IPs that are probably pretty easy to recognize. Implementing your own cryptography hardware is as bad an idea as writing your own cryptography code. It don't think it would be too hard to backdoor a loader that alters the bitstream so that its crypto modules are weak, under specific circumstances.
Pretty trivial to extend it.

I think that's an issue everywhere in the world. I'm living in Taiwan (not from here originally), and the tech scene is really being hollowed out for years if not decades. The really best, brightest, and most motivated people are already working abroad. "Humiliating" is a strong word, but the more I think about it, the more apt it feels, there should be a lot more reward for the good techies here (there are some left, miraculously!)
You are correct, that was the word I was looking for. I think democratization works too ;)

Unpopular Opinion but I feel the need to speak up for the millions of adults that either by choice or biology do not, and will not have children

A Step forward in Parental Leave, a Step backwards for equality... Equality is treating everyone the same.. Giving one group 26 weeks paid leave for their life choice (having kids) while not giving the same 26 weeks paid leave to their childless employees is unequal treatment...

I have never understood why I, a person that has chosen not to have children, should have to work harder, longer, for the same money has people that choose to have children

A business hires you do to a job, if your life choices interfere with your ability to do your job you should not be rewarded with time off.

This is why many companies have replaced their Sick leave policy with Personal Time off, or PTO policies

People accrue time off, that time off can be used for anything, Illness, or just because you are having a bad day.

>take extended leave

Most companies do not offer "extended paid leave" for illness either, that would be covered under your healh insurance, unemployment, or some other supplemental insurance policy (aka AFLAC). FMLA requires a company give you unpaid extended leave for illness, not paid.
That is not the case in any city, period.

Exactly, which is why I'm still using Knockout, it's been around for a long time (for a javascript library), values backwards compatbility and is still developed (only a few developers but they are all committed).

It's also just got a lot faster (3.4 had huge speedups) supports HTML5 components and supports IE back to 7 (while that's not a requirement for me it's nice to know the tools you have will work if you need them to).

There are features in newer libraries I like but taken in balance I like been able to grab the code I wrote 2 years ago and have it still work with knockout's latest version, to me that is it's killer feature.

Also there is this http://knockoutjs.com/spec/runner.html

I've recently been looking at job boards, and "React" turns up a lot. As does Angular, but not as much as a year or two ago.

So it's not so much about whether a given tech works for your project or not (being honest, server-side rendering + dash of jQuery is probably more than adequate for a lot of sites going full-on React+Redux right now) but fear of your skills becoming obsolete. Given the shit-show hiring is right now with its resume filtering and whiteboard hazing (witness every other week on HN) that's not an unfounded fear. So in order to have something on our resume that we used React in our last job, we use React for our current project...and so contribute to the problem.
Most employer parental leave is per child, so it not limited to 1 leave but 1 leave per child. Thus if a person has more than 1 child they get more than 1 leave

Interesting changes. Full source code access was probably the most requested thing on the forums for years, and now they get it. Looking forward to articles which analyze the source code (if the EULA allows that). The addition of C# is also nice. Probably easier for indies and they have a alternative if they don't want to use the visual Flow Graph.

Now that they added DX12 I hope they add Vulkan in the near future as well.

The definition of a species is not limited to being able to produce offspring or even fertile offspring. Lions and tigers can have offspring (ligers) who are sometimes fertile yet I doubt anyone would consider them the same species.

More fundamentally even if we decide that all homo lineages are the one species, it is the ignoring of all these lineages and the interbreeding between them that is the interesting observation. We now know that Neanderthals did not become extinct yet this is total ignored.

I think allowing anyone to take unpaid leave is the best way forward for a lot of companies. (Allowing part-time work - something which improves inclusivity for a whole host of marginalized groups - could actually just be a special case of this). That doesn't involve anyone subsidizing anything, everyone's treated fairly, and people are quite likely more productive per paid hour when they have more time off. It's win-win.
Did you mean the Apache Groovy conference? It's a contractual requirement by the 10 members of Groovy's Project Management Committee (PMC) since Groovy joined the Apache Software Foundation in November 2015 that they tag "Groovy" as "Apache Groovy" in their first mention of it in any new context such as this web page. Two of the 8 pictured speakers on that page are PMC members, including the PMC chairperson. There isn't a single mention of "Apache" on that page which makes me wonder if those two PMC members are taking their responsibilities as Apache project managers seriously?
Because our society values children and wants to encourage you to have some. For the same reason some of your taxes go to schools and, at least here in Germany, pay for child benefits.
In the UK there is this concept of a "shadow director", which is someone who, while not officially a director of the company, actually has executive power indirectly in some way. The legal concept exists to point out that a shadow director can be held legally accountable in the same way a director can.

Perhaps a similar concept applies here. If the FBI can compel action from Apple it is basically a shadow CEO of Apple.

If you see a lot of jobs requiring React, or are fear becoming obsolete, then just learn React. It's very very simple - the API is like 5 functions, and the documentation takes like 20 minutes to read from start-to-end.

Don't learn anything else - just learn plain vanilla-React. The site has a onepager.html 'blueprint' to work from.

If people are getting anxious about this, its more than likely self-inflicted from trying to learn 30 things at once that you don't need.

I've experimented with this for a while, the goal being easier comprehension of new text. I found highlighting parts of speech and syntactic groups didn't work for me. The only thing that did work was highlighting keywords (that are specific to the text) and maybe named entities that refer to the same thing. Interestingly, there is some research indicating highlighting keywords may help people with dyslexia.

I've written a chrome extension for highlighting keywords, too bad I don't currently have time to give it the love it deserves:

i disagree. While i agree, that PDFs are there and they will stay for a long time. The problem can be easily solved by journals. They make you use of their own LaTeX templates.

A lot of js devs came straight to js without any previous language experience. Hence we are seeing lots of ideas and frameworks thrown out there. The worst example is the proliferation of single function libraries, yes, create a js lib for a single function.

It will settle down. Mostly as the devs grow a bit older and wiser, and as the end users start to rebel a bit harder - already non-tech people are publically lamenting js-heavy sites, wondering why so slow to load and run.

Lean js is happy js.
That is fine for society, but what does that have to do with the business.

> I don't believe this is pointless tech churn, akin to fashion.

This is not pointless, but it is pretty uncontrolled. Basically, there is a natural tendency for engineers to want and rewrite old stuff, once all the flaws of once-cherished yesteryear solutions are glaring. Normally, engineers don't have a freehand in ditching old projects and rewriting from scratch, so they have to maintain what exists.

But with all the startups and the site redesigns, now they can, and they do. Why not--it's fun, it replaces old solutions that showed their limits, and the scope is somewhat limited; it's just a website, after all. Moreover, everyone can jump in and create their foobar.js lib or framework; the core node/JS is pretty easy.

> It really feels to me, at least, that there is a direction that the tooling is heading.

It is quite uncertain. Progress is made when you build on previous work, but here it is mosly about saying that the old solution doesn't work eventually, so let's do it this way instead. It looks a lot like infinite recursion, with pretty thin state.
The USD median house price in Vancouver is misleading too, because it wasn't long ago that the dollar was at parity, and incomes certainly haven't changed much as the dollar has dropped by a third.

Anyway, so far the effect on Victoria seems to be our own mini (compared to Vancouver; still nuts for most of the world) housing boom. I have three couples of close friends all house-hunting right now, and it's not a fun time to be doing so. I can't imagine committing to pay the better part of a million dollars for something with less than a day's deliberation, no time for an inspection, and a need to offer over asking price to even have a hope of "winning".
Here in Switzerland:

— The largest cash note is 1000 Fr. (slightly more than $1000). It is readily accepted everywhere and I can pay for coffee with it and get change. (The coffee will be around $4, or $7 for vanilla latte in Starbucks).

— My ATM daily cash withdrawal limit is 75000 Fr. (not a typo). I dream of hitting it once, but I'm not that rich.

— I can go to the nearest bank and buy a physical gold bar, from 1g to 12 kg, for cash, no questions asked, no papers needed. And sell it later at the same place, with only a nominal fee taken (if still in original package).

And I like it this way. When I travel in any other country, it looks strange to me when even a 100€ bill is frowned upon and probably won't be accepted.
Does not matter, same principles apply to CSS as well. Transferring is pretty lightweight operation compared to parsing & rule applying.
That I shouldn't need to install NPM or Bower to download a fucking half a Kb of CSS is what is the complain.

It's a clear sign of people with no clue about proper software engineering, which is glaring in today's front end world where dependencies and tools have gone amok to manage mere hundreds lines of CSS or Javascript.
