I recently joined the team at Chameleon. Here's why I wanted to be a part of their story:

1. I used to be a customer and loved the product!

2. As an earlier adopter of Chameleon, I saw the problem the technology is solving and we were delighted with the impact it had on not only immediately having high quality, customized, observable product tours and onboarding experiences but allowing developers to stay focused on shipping product!

3. Pulkit, Brian, and the rest of the team are razor sharp and focused on making a difference for their customers.

I believe there is a bright future at Chameleon and this is an exciting time to get involved.
One of the few of those silly "life hack" tips that I've seen floating around that was really useful was a suggestion to look at the 3-star reviews on Amazon, if you aren't sure about something. They generally aren't especially biased (people who are biased for or against the product are going to leave 5 or 1-star reviews) and tend to have the most useful weighing of pros and cons.

That's not to say there aren't valid 5 star and 1 star reviews -- including my own, because I tend not to review products unless they stick out for some reason -- but a lot of the 2/3/4 star reviews are the most diagnostically useful.
I agree: if you're fine with lossy, then it's hard to beat lossy formats with a lossless format.

Maybe in some future version of FLIF, with some DCT/DWT-like transform and an option to postpone least significant bits until the end of the bitstream, we can truly get there. But at the moment we're not there yet.

It's still a nice lossless format though :)
Interesting approach, but I will note that even you have recommended three (Angular, React and Backbone).

People generally put forward one of the following: Knockout (easy to learn), Ember, Backbone, Angular, React.

Someone will invariably say no, use nothing but plain Javascript at first. This will lead to a little subthread about whether it is fair to include jquery.

Every now and then someone will come up with meteor or vue as an alternative.
Came here to post exactly that question/suggestion.

I could imagine that it might also be "and can put one blood relative or immediate family member into a high-priority category" to encourage donation/control for the "yeah, but I'm saving mine in case my kid needs one" objection.
> I think before anyone from the Pentagon is allowed to even think about invading a desert again, we have to make them read the entire Dune saga. I realize only the first one matters in this case, the rest is for punishment.

AFAICT, the people "from the Pentagon" (and particularly, the career military types, including the senior uniformed leadership) were generally very well locked into what the issues were; the political leadership (much of it outside the Pentagon) far less so.

Second that, MobX has been a total game changer for me. Used redux and really like the philosophy of it, but overall feel mobx is much easier to use while accomplishing just as much, and the simplicity and lack of boilerplate actually makes reasoning about state, testing, etc much easier than redux. I disagree about large apps (switched to mobx on a large app now), but I can roughly see what you are saying. Still, I think MobX is great on large apps

> I’m a 26 years old “entrepreneur”

Apparently not....yet.

> I’ve written more than the equivalent of 32 Bibles (around 4M lines of code)

Sadly, nobody cares how late you stayed up or how many loc you wrote. They just care about how awesome/useful/reliable/beautiful/addictive your product is.

> My dad has always told me...I’m really pissed off with this one, I’d go back in time and fix it

Dude, you're 26. Fix it now. You've plenty of time.

> I should’ve... I should’ve

See above

> people are too closed-mind.....I don’t know what’s the deal with coding interviews, but I bet they don’t work good.

Stop blaming others. People didn't want your service, these places didn't want to hire you. Maybe it's their fault. But you don't control them so assume it's your fault and think about how you can improve.

It took me much too long to learn this lesson which now drives everything that I do: You are only as good as the value you add.

Bringing this back to your dilemma - "I have no motivation on continuing coding".

Do your products have users? Install Intercom or Crisp and find out. Talk to them and listen to what they like and don't like. Make them happy and more people like them will appear. You're not a coder in your parents house, you're a builder of things that add value to people. Instead of adding code day by day, add value.

You've written 4m lines of code. That's great but people have become wealthy from 1000 lines. What did they do different from you?

Answer that and you're on the right path.

PS: throw some of those older projects on Github and make them open source. That should help you find out if you're a good developer, plus it's access to a community.

Ehh, I don't know if that counts. Lots of sites want me to join on my phone or download an app, even though they are desktop compatible.

I'm irked when companies go for this form of anti-documentation. It 1) makes me feel dumb 2) wastes my time 3) I'll eventually figure out what you're not telling me, so you might as well cut to the chase.

I was mostly referring to the point in the talk where he claims that just relativity and quantum mechanics is enough to imply that there are no spins higher than 2, he kind of skips over that part.

In that view I'm not convinced renormalizability is a strong enough property, since the graviton is famously non-renormalizeable (or so it seems, anyway). But I'll have a closer look at the quora thread; maybe someone has a more 'fundamental' argument.

I was half kidding. But sometimes all you care about is media validation, not what people actually think. You have your face in the press and get broadcast and that's it.
If you are building simple app then it's really easy with Ember but you need to remember that Ember is very opinionated and if you need something that is not exactly standard or creators didn't predicted that someone would use something in certain way then you have problem and you spend time fighting with framework. I've been there, lot of time wasted fighting with Ember in corner cases but if you get this out of the equation Ember is really good and you can be really productive using it.
Porsche Driving Experience – Winter 2017
Amazon knows if a product has been bought with a discount and the amount of the discount; it can outright ban reviews from people who bought with a discount, or put these reviews up for special "review" (either human or automated).

You can still leave a review when you didn't buy the product via Amazon (or at all), so in theory vendors could send products outside of Amazon to get reviews. This however would become very complicated, and Amazon could still spot and review reviews that don't follow an Amazon purchase.

The only option left for vendors would be to ask reviewers to buy the product on Amazon for the full retail price, and then refund them outside of Amazon; not impossible, but difficult.

This change may be good in theory, but it will make it very hard for new products to exist at all / rise above existing ones, esp. given the way Amazon search engine (A9) apparently works -- ie, strongly favoring products that already sell a lot, even if they don't quite match the search keywords.

One could think of another option, which would be to offer users the possibility to filter out all reviews that don't come from a "verified purchase" (incentivized reviews aren't "verified purchase"), but still let them exist.

Does anyone know a nice guide about how these things are made? Real code examples aren't really necessary, I'm more interested in the setup and choices made. (Like, how is the world made, how are the planes flying, what is the server side technology behind it, how is the 3d effect created, library or all plain webgl stuff, and so on)
Manu could easily provide a GC with the exact cost of the item post-review.
I was not financially independent until I was 36 years old. And by independent I mean independent of my parents, independent of any company but my own, and take all the decisions and be happy(successful). I tried since I was 18.

I had 250Ks of lines of code on my own when I started my own business. That was enough for me as the code I had created worked for me. 40 Millions? A ridiculous thing, impossible to maintain for any human being. I would get rid of most it.

If I were you I will start learning metaprogramming and learn to make your software work for you instead of the other way around.

With metaprogramming you could decimate your lines of code and be happy.

Learn to enjoy life, go fishing, go swimming, go surfing and meet new people. There are no excuses , you are an adult and can do it, there are very inexpensive activities. Don't worry about being broke, so are birds and dogs or most people in Kenya, and they are pretty happy all day.

I had to learn sales, basic marketing,taxes,basic sex-understanding women(very important), extremely easy compared with programming but you have to do it. You could delegate it later when you make millions so your fear makes no sense to me, you are just fearing the unknown.

Very few people out there are financially independent but most people can get by working for companies. Most of the people here at HN dream on universal income so they could stop working "for the man".

It is clear to me that you value freedom over everything else. Me too. It is amazing being your own boss when you learn how to do it well.

If I were you I will do this:
1-Start making money out of your software. Anything counts. USD 200 fo a month? Great. Easy if your software is worth something.

2-Work for my father using my knowledge on software to improve his business, but make it clear to him that you will get out on your own when you can.

3-Learn a lot from your father. It is going to be extremely useful for your own business and your relationship could improve.

4- Double the income of your small business each month, or at least put this as an objective.200->400->800. Ask your father for advice on business.

5- When you make enough, jump ship to your own business.
This, definitely. There's no shame in seeking help when you need it. It can be very hard to lift yourself back up. I strongly encourage you to seek a psychiatrist's help ASAP.
> No, healthy people are born with empathy.

Most of the reading I've done seems to suggest that that's something that's developed at a very young age, and very sensitive to early childhood environment, rather something people are born with.

Of course they can, and have for some time: the "verified purchase" badge does not show up on reviews that come from an incentivized purchase.
I agree. I didn't even include the "unbiased discount" footnote/disclaimer in my "unbiased" reviews because I didn't want it to hurt my own personal credibility as a reviewer. My partners-in-crime actually really appreciated that omission.
Your function r = r(pp, red shirts, race of offender, etc) exists. A model of the form a x r + b x something_else + ... will detect the bias you've described, assuming of course the biasing variable is either present or redundantly encoded in the data set.

We've now established the existence of a statistical model which can detect this bias.

Now, any other model which is capable of expressing your specific r(p) can do the same thing. The entire purpose of fancy models like random forests is that they can express lots of functions while also being reasonably generalizable.

If you want to claim that this bias is much more difficult to encode in an SVM than all the other typical hidden patterns, you need to establish that your specific r(...) is somehow vastly more complicated than all the other things that machine learning models regularly detect. That's a pretty strong claim.

Interestingly, you are now arguing the exact opposite of what most "machine learning is racist" people claim. They typically claim machine learning is racist because algorithms actually learn hidden factors they wish it wouldn't; e.g., a lending algorithm might "redline" blacks who don't pay back their debts. I take it you believe this is highly unlikely, and algorithms can't possibly distinguish between men and women and then show high paying job ads to more men than women?
I recently started using Timetrap ( https://github.com/samg/timetrap) and find fantastic. Covers a lot of corner cases while still being incredibly simple to use.
Eh, I'd treat them as ads. The person is paid to review them, the manufacturer can pay to have that review displayed on Amazon, clearly marked as "Sponsored Content". Amazon's already showing ads, so there's precedent.

> If Gerrit is not also hosting your 'origin' git repositories and acting as a gatekeeper for any commit to be added to it, then you are working against the system.

It is/was. But if I push my work to origin/features/foo, then push the same commit to refs/for/master, it will not create a review because no new commit has been introduced. At least that's my experience and it is (kind of) spelled out like that in the manual [1]: "Each new commit uploaded by the git push client will be converted into a change record on the server."

I've only tried this a couple of times, so hopefully that was a case of PEBKAC.

> Bugs in plugins are of course not a good reason to say Gerrit isn't very good.

Services like GitLab/GitHub/Bitbucket work with every git GUI out of the box, because all you need to do is to push branches and then open a web browser. With Gerrit, you need to know how to push to a magic URL (especially if you want to specify a topic or message), or you'll need a plugin. I don't blame Gerrit for the low quality of the IntelliJ plugin, but for needing a plugin in the first place.

What I don't understand about Azure pricing is how much more expensive a Windows VM is compared to an equivalent Linux machine. A D1v2 costs $54 with Linux and $104 with Windows (per month). This extends to larger instances: Windows costs twice the price of Linux on the same instance. The only difference is the Windows licence, and $50 per month for the smallest machine (and hundreds for bigger instances) seems very unreasonable.

The only explanation I can think of for this is that they probably want to compete on price with AWS, while keeping profits from their traditional customers high.

Yeah, I do like the convention over configuration approach. Sails is somewhat similar. Not fighting against "the Ember way" is valid advice.

However, I see this advice everywhere. When I'm googling "how do I do this in Ember" I usually get a good set of practices.

What's interesting, is there is another thread on HN about a WalmartLabs platform release that bundles React and a bunch of other boilerplate libraries a la Facebook's "create react app" and it looks really cool.

Everything can be a bit slower and I think it is using a simpler encoding scheme on the wire, but even if that doesn't translate to a noticeable price difference on switch ports it still has a lot of benefit for the target market (which for now is pretty clearly wireless). 10GbE switch ports are cheap in comparison to large-scale cabling changes, or even worse running power to all those spots served by PoE before.

You being there might contribute to other side effects on your company's culture - you're setting the tone that it's ok or valuable to spend a long time at work (whether physically or virtually,) and more impressionable employees might do the "cannot leave before the boss leaves" routine. And even if you verbally stress the work-life balance, it becomes one of those "do as I say, not as I do" things.
Having a strong work ethic helps me. Just doing the work because that's what I have to do is enough to push me over low motivation bumps. Nothing else worked.
but then I feel like the point of an ad that looks like a review is to intentionally mislead. Even if it's labeled sponsored content, the idea that it looking like an ad would be better than a normal ad admits a level of knowing that it's misleading.

ads should look like ads, and reviews should be left to real humans.

The survey should separate unit testing and e2e testing.

I don't know what the general feeling about e2e testing in the JS community, but in my last job we had to write, fix and maintain hundreds of e2e tests and it was a nightmare.

Our stack was Angular 1 and the de facto Angular e2e tool, Protractor. We wrote tons of helpers, like waitToBeVisible & waitToBeHidden, most of them copy/pasted from StackOverflow because every users of Angular and Protractor have the same basic troubles and use the same workarounds, and we had to use those helpers in every test. Also I can't imagine the number of hours spent to mock our Angular services + MySQL/Redshift data, to spy the functions who manipulate url/cookies/localStorage/etc and to write some "page objects" to make the tests readable.

In my opinion: The benefits of the e2e tests are too small to justify the crazy amount of time spent to make the new tests work and maintain the existing ones. Most of the time, the tests break because someone has changed something in the DOM or renamed a CSS class or modified an external API and forgot to update the tests/mocks. But they almost never break for a regression... so what's the point?

Or otherwise you need a dedicated team with 1 or 2 engineers (for a small/medium company) working full time on the e2e.

(PS: I used only Protractor with Angular 1. I haven't tested the other tools like Nightwatch.js, and I don't know what they have done for Angular 2 (Protractor 2?). Now I develop in React and just do unit testing & dog fooding).
