In the midst of this we communicate quite a bit throughout the week on what we call our "dev channel".

We try to keep most communications there so other people see what's happening too.

For business development we have "growth channel" that does the same thing, but for cross functional marketing and sales.

The week long projects do 2 things or us - it gives us the ability to reassess if someone needs help, and it forces people to plan a little bit.

Other than that, async communication throughout the week has helped a lot. That usually replaces the "walk up to desk" thing people do.

The key here is you're not expected to reply right away.

Of note is we do the hangout on Tuesday of the week.

This means you can get your act together on monday and prepare, tuesday we have the 1 meeting and

try to cluster other meetings around that (usually another hour at most) and then the rest of the week is free to get work done.

I believe the real dichotomy is "async/sync" rather than "remote/local". There are individuals who require constant micro-coordination on every decision and others who get the big picture immediately and can implement details without specific instruction.

My best decision was probably offloading team coordination to a dedicated "community manager". Even an undergrad working part-time and using mobile Slack / GMail can be trained in an afternoon and be 110% effective. The amount of bandwidth it frees up so you can focus on strategy and product is a Godsend ;)
Modernist architecture (especially Brutalism) certainly failed, because it abandoned considerations of usability and was often deliberately hostile.

HI Kam

I am a DWBI veteran. On the ETL side I have got excellent experience on Talend and kettle. I have expereince on data visualization, data modeling, data warehousing, BI, ETL.

please do have a look at some of my data visualizations work. Done using the community (free) version of open source BI tool [Helical Insight](http://www.helicalinsight.com)

[Travel Dashboard](http://www.helicalinsight.com/hi/?dir=Travel_Dashboard&file=...)

[Sales Dashboard](http://www.helicalinsight.com/hi/?dir=Sales_Dashboard&file=s...)

[Infograph](http://www.helicalinsight.com/hi/?dir=CV_Creator/CV_Creator_...)

One of my client implementation was on Envision GLobal. They are into training and leadership domain wherein they conduct training followed by survey on limesurvey. I had done data modeling for their reporting database, created ETL for data loading from limesurvey database into reporting database, created a GUI using which client can themselves trigger and run these ETL with configurable parameters, integration of this into Drupal paltform for end client access etc.

Reports were created for each and every individual user talking about his traits as well as comparison with other colleagues (very similar to annual report with images, text, formatted text, charts), ability to edit the report via UI itself, save and email the reports (email scheduling), exporting etc. Also proper user role management and data security was provided.

I would love to speak with you and discuss of possible working opportunity with you. You can get in touch with me at

Askite – is it time to get rid of FAQs?
The Wikipedia article on FAQs says:

"The 'FAQ' is an Internet textual tradition originating from the technical limitations of early mailing lists from NASA in the early 1980s. The acronym FAQ was developed between 1982 and 1985 by Eugene Miya of NASA for the SPACE mailing list."

Since 34 years have passed since 1982 we thought it was high time we gave FAQs an upgrade.

So, we developed Askite, a bot that helps you answer customers' questions better and learn about what your customers look for when making a purchasing decision.

Askite lets customers type questions into a text box to find an answer or a way to reach a human being.

Since Askite takes up very little space, it can be used as a contextual help tool that can be strategically located anywhere inside a web page.

The questions asked on Askite can help a seller find out why people do not purchase a product.

Let's say a customer is looking to buy a whetstone (a knife sharpening stone).

They want to know how big the whetstone is, but the product information section lacks that detail.

In most online stores, the customer has to either take a chance on the product (and possibly return it) or move on.

Askite gives them a third option - to ask questions about the product, and hopefully obtain the information required to make a purchase.

Askite can be added to a website painlessly by pasting in an HTML snippet obtained from Askite (at http://www.askite.com).

We're looking for feedback and suggestions from everyone.

Don't you think it is time to get rid of FAQs?
This is one of the major reasons I try to stick with more well established libraries when I can. For example, when choosing our teams universal routing solution, I used the Express router instead of going with the NEW SHINY react router.

Of course this did mean wrapping it for use on the FE, but that was as easy as copying code form Page.js (another old school project).

https://github.com/wesleytodd/nighthawk
Indeed.

What a great problem that will be.

To clarify, the Haskell quote is usually parsed as 'avoid "success at all costs"', rather than 'avoid "success" at all costs'. Part of its rising popularity is probably the infrastructure work; despite the rough edges of Cabal and friends, I struggle to imagine what it must have been like before them!

Perhaps a more interesting example is the MLs, which have been around far longer than Haskell and seem to be gaining popularity for implementating and transforming other languages (that was their original purpose, after all!).

Scheme's also managed to maintain a minor presence since the 70s, especially in education and as an extension/configuration language.
Also, there is one massive part here that people are missing. From the release notes:

>We intend to keep supporting the 3.x branch indefinitely (published separately on npm to aid in migration), although there will likely not be any future major versions based on that code. 4.0 is the future, but we won't leave you hanging if you want to stick with 2.x/3.x.

It's not like they are pulling what Bootstrap did and just leaving everyone on the old version out to die. They are going to be supporting the 3.x branch indefinitely.

If you don't want to move, then don't! It's not going to suddenly explode, they will still accept changes for that branch, and bug fixes will still happen.
I agree with you that right now, Microsoft's implementation of an app store is definitely quite a bit worse than Apple and Google's versions. However, there are people making money there or else people wouldn't continue to put their apps in it.

Personally for me as a developer, I think one of the biggest benefits to app stores is payment handling and updates.

The latter in particular is such a pain to get right traditionally on Windows in particular. You can either ping your server and nag the user to download an installer at startup or run a background process that periodically checks and installs updates silently. Neither is ideal.

As a user I also prefer the Windows store to the status quo because I can cleanly uninstall store apps. Traditional uninstallers almost always leave vomit all over my computer that doesn't completely wash away until I inevitably reinstall Windows.

OPSEC in the age of mass surveillance is incredibly hard. Zoz gave[1] has a very good overview of modern OPSEC. Staying anonymous requires an attention to detail that most people probably cannot do.

The hindsight bias is realizing how serious the situation might be and the level of OPSEC that is required. When the torrent site was first created the risk level wasn't known and most people didn't understand how hard it is to avoid the ubiquitous sensors of the surveillance-industriual-complex. Yes, more people probably should have assumed this level of risk much earlier, but that's easy to say now when we know names like Prism and XKEYSCORE.

A lot of the times, before you even go into automation, you should run continuous tests to see what content / message has the most impact and on which channels. I've run thousands of tests on posts, blogs, distribution channels to get a better idea of my audience and then I create a customer journey that feeds into my marketing automation and then I measure the success of my marketing automation. Depending on the nature of your SaaS business, you could run several drip campaigns at a time. I would also look into Account Based marketing techniques. Shoot me a DM if you'd like to learn a few more techniques that have worked for me. Have you looked into Zappier / IFTTT to automate some things as well?

Thanks you are the only one talking about the new api style here, it seems very interesting. It is like the dual of the previous version where all routes were declared in the same place, here we dispatch the route fragments in the app.
It will simplify nested routes, but I hope it won't "infect" the app with routing concerns too much.
I've ranted before about react-router, maybe they should call it another name this time, I hope they will keep on maintaining the v3.0, the switching cost will probably be too much for my app.
I've been so astounded by Apple Maps' consistently bad routing that I actually have a recurring todo item every three weeks that says "Try Apple Maps". It has fired 37 times so far, and out of those 37 times that I've tried it (each time I wait until I have a not-used-before destination to try with), Maps has routed me to the wrong place (and I only count it as wrong if it's more than, say, a mile away) 11 times.

I'm a remote worker and love it. That being said it's important to keep in mind that face to face communication and collaboration is unquestionably higher bandwidth.

It's gotten much easier since Video Conference became ubiquitous but there is still no contest when comparing face to face communication to a Video Conference or Conference call. Now I happen to think the benefits of remote working outweigh that loss of bandwidth but I don't think you can make the case for it without acknowledging that loss of bandwidth.

A remote team is good at maximizing those benefits while minimizing the costs. But some people are just incapable of managing remote teams. I'm dealing with one right now and the pain is real on both sides.

I'd defend apples move to remove the headphone jack if that coincided with a move to a standard jack. But they didn't do that, I don't personally like Bluetooth headphones (one more thing to charge), and so what, now I need headphones that work with only one thing?

And there is no equivalent port on their laptops, so I can't even use the same headphones with my laptop?!

This is annoying, and the new usb spec is fine as a replacement for lightening. I am a very frustrated Apple customer, and it has me for the first time considering not buying another of their phones.
Show HN: An alternative for universal web app routing
>Just like the death of the standard floppy disc. And the death of the standard optical disc. And [...] //

I think in all those situations an alternative newer option was made and existed in parallel gradually gaining support until the other older tech wasn't needed.

Personally I don't think I've ever seen anyone using wireless earbuds despite Bluetooth having been around a long time. Bluetooth earpieces for phone calls were common for a while, but more recently I've seen more people use a wired mic on their earphone cable.

It does seem likely to me that we'll move wireless with ear-buds but this transition seems much more forced than the others you've cited.
Gary Johnson Wins the Internet
Why IoT to Build Next Generation of Real Estate?
There is a whole field in cognitive psychology, cognitive learning theory, devoted to this topic. One element of learning theory that may be of interest to HN readers is their notion of a "schema" (not an RDBMS schema). Schemas are the networked data structures in the brain (based ultimately on the underlying physical brain structure--neurons, regions, etc.) There is some interesting work in how schemas are acquired, primarily through imitation and repetition (which is what you would expect when training a neural network).
I have been writing Java for 4.5 years and have never felt such pressure. In fact, I have never written a factory and use inheritance sparingly. The problem of Java is the culture of the enterprise bros who worship at the altar of the Holy OOP, not the language itself.
Sure, instead he'd just change his mind three times distributed across hundreds of Slack messages, and you'd still have no tracked resolution.

When you have a decision born of a conversation, the only useful thing to do is to write that distilled, focused result on some median other than the discussion itself.

This problem ultimately has little to do with remote vs colocated; The same applies whether the discussion happened in verbal discussion, a meeting, an email chain, messaging, etc.

I think this is exactly the correct criticism of this and most other critiques of mathematics curricula. It's ironic to see a huge conversation about mathematics pedagogy that never goes and looks at the data.
They are going to support the old versions "indefinitely". The FAQ doesn't mention it, but their Release notes[0] does. I'll copy the relevant part here:

We did something similar that uses the Express router: https://github.com/wesleytodd/nighthawk

The one thing we didn't do was layer on top of a flux solution. Seemed more future proof to not tie to anything other than a routing style. If you wanted to do that with our solution it would be as simple as writing an action to do the url change.
Perhaps they plugin a battery pack when they're using their headphones? Can't just be me that does that.
Also, they will be supporting the v3 version of the code "indefinitely". So it's not like he/she would even need to fork the project to continue to support the old version...
I'm sorry, but fixed headers are almost always a bad idea, because it make assumptions about the clients that may not be valid. The assumption is that the client has the vertical space for a fixed header.

Even the example is shown for a client that has plenty of vertical space. If the user is on something like a 13" laptop, the fixed header reduces the amount of "usable" space on the page.

Unless you're absolutely sure that the client is on a big monitor, and has a browser window that's higher than it is wide, don't use fixed headers.

Interestingly enough you rarely see website/webapps that utilises the fact that most users are on wide-screen monitors (mobile excluded).
I agree. From the TFA it seemed like it would be way worse than that. To me, that doesn't rise to the level of creating a hostile work environment.

Burn your persona, kill your online accounts, wipe your machines, transfer maitenece of any orgs, move to a new country, use only cash, live out of your car, use burner phones, move frequently, cash only and jump to a new country. I'm sure there are guides for this.

The important thing is to have zero ties to your old persona. The moment you start poking around your old buisness is the moment the dots get connected. Hire a PI, get some advice and burn ties to them as well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6to4
You are correct.

Let me rephrase it correctly: implementing that uses less memory than IPv6 NAT.

Yet, all the practical implications from my previous comment are gone. This correct version is useless.
The problem is that the growth of the internet is up to now exponential. Even if we can get a few more years by spending inordinate amounts of money on reshuffling IPv4 addresses, it won't solve the underlying problem. It'll just delay the inevitable IPv6 deployment.
It's surely less expensive per capita to have reliable electricity for everyone than to have everyone who wants reliable electricity to have to install a generator.

99% uptime means 7 hours of downtime every month. And it's not random downtime, it's downtime under peak demand.

If the choice was free electricity at 99% uptime and you have to take care of the rest yourself, or $0.13 / kWh for 99.999% uptime, I would go for the 0.13 / kWh.

Of course in AUS they probably charge more than 0.13 / kWh and make you deal with the brownouts anyway. Actually some quick searches reveal AUS pays about the highest rates in the world.

Reliably not being able to handle peak demand isn't a cost saving measure, it's an excuse for a major failure of the infrastructure.
