So to recap: You hop into this conversation claiming that you can't upgrade to Python 3 because you're not being paid for it. Someone else tells you that the correct approach is to think of it as being unnecessary to port old software. After you double down on your "I'm not working for free!" strawman, I point out that you're not reading what people are saying to you. You triple-down on your assumption and when you finally realize your mistake, you complain about division changing.

And when I point out that that's nonsense, you call me "aggressive and bullish".

Uh, yeah, you wanna share this conversation around be my guest. What I'm getting is you care a lot less about the "problems companies face" than about getting paid.
Inspired by Panic Status Board and dismayed that it was not open source, I tried to create my own, in php (not sure if the code is floating out there somewhere) and man, it's bad to see such a great product go. Seriously, so good it inspires one to write better looking software.

Those are proxy wars and/or puppet governments, which is a different thing to colonisation. There is somewhat more regard for the rights of the native inhabitants than in the past.

If we ever find alien life, the Outer Space Treaty prohibits colonisation in the sense we're using here. Of course this is a very easy treaty to sign up to at this point in our development of space travel. If space travel ever becomes cheap enough to enable exploitation of resource on distant planets I imagine those laws will see some amendments.
So this is just a txt file on a server... why is it completely blank when I open it? I could understand if there was a SQL database and a heavy PHP application serving requests and the system ran out of memory or Apache ran out of open connections... but it's a txt file. I could even see there being an incompatibility between my browser and the site's coding. Maybe they're using fancy new Javascript techniques or their CSS doesn't play well with Safari... but it's a txt file.

I guess it's modern software at its worst: we can't even display a plaintext file in the browser reliably.

Our team is excellent with this, and I've truly appreciated it having come from the opposite situation.

It is a small team slowly growing, and I have been there from when it was a team of just engineers to when non-technical, project managers and accounts managers were introduced. All credit to my boss and the project managers themselves for truly understanding how to integrate with rather than herd a team of engineers.

As you said, we all work with eachother. We can ask the PM to create a ticket for us and he can ask us to work on a ticket, but our schedule and priorities are set for the individuals in the team separately through a resourcing meeting. So when a PM comes to me with a ticket he needs done, he will ask "Do you have time this week to work on this task?" and I can reply with "Absolutely, I've been allocated 20% for that project this week and can complete that task in that time.

They do their best to manage the client requirements, the project timeline and time allocation but ultimately it never feels like I work for anyone other than my boss, and even he leads through example and morale rather than orders and processes.

It has been very interesting to see how this all comes together as the team grows and I am super thankful to have been able to experience the transition.

We had one manager come on board, who did not much other than ask us to complete a task, and then ask repeatedly if it were done yet throughout the day, then applying time pressures that didn't exist. To be able to see the different management side by side in the same environment was truly eye opening. The difference in my morale working with the bad manager vs the rest of the team was night and day.
I'm not willing to live in kindergarten conditions just because some other people are terrible parents.

This isn't about you. This is about people who don't know what you know. In this case you understand the danger so you think the warnings are an unnecessary insult to your intelligence because you find them obvious. You're ignoring the people out there who don't understand the danger. Imagine a situation where your child came in to contact with something you know nothing about - you'd want information right there in front of you printed on the side, even if someone else who has experience and knowledge about the thing thought that warning was ridiculous.

The suggestion that we should let parents bring dangerous things in to their houses without warnings because they ought to understand the dangers already is utterly ridiculous. The 'kindergarten conditions' you're talking about is having sensible warnings on things. Why would it be better to have empty space, or a marketing message, or a pretty picture where that warning is if the warning could save someones life? It simply isn't, and if you believe it is then you are wrong.

No one ever demonstrated a performant Flash implementation on iOS. (or any other ARM system?) IIRC, Adobe whined and stomped and gave a demo that it could run on iOS, but it didn't run well at all. And as another commenter mentions, security flaws galore.

>time spent on each page

Is that even universally loggable? Once a page has finished downloading, that's it, your connection is closed and you were technically only 'on' the site for as long as the total transfer took. Of course you could track it via some other (semi)persistant means - but that's more of a site thing than an ISP thing.
> The sad fact is that the general public only seems to care about the fancy buttons.

I think general public does care. Every couple of years, people lament the lack of speed that their laptops have. All of your programs are beefy, because people want quick turn around. And then the devs never come back to cut the fat.

A friend of mine joked that 32GB of RAM was the new minimum standard, and someone else took a step further to say that disk I/O is the new RAM. We're still quite a ways away from that, but we're still trending in that direction.

Edit: This isn't to say that we'll be using disk I/O as RAM. It's a hyperbole, but there's no denying that it's now acceptable to ignore memory footprint of desktop apps.

Maybe with a home system, but in business most users don't have local admin rights but the systems are set to allow them to initiate updates, or updates happen the next time the computer boots up from patch tuesday. If an end-user catches an image-based update being deployed, she can just press that hotkey combo and get local admin rights. Scary stuff here for sysadmins until this is patched or some work-around can be implemented.

WindowsPE is a whole separate Windows distro and has all its failings and security issues. MS doesn't seem to have hardened it correctly for its update system. This is also why organizations are usually 2-3 years behind Windows versions. Its just too risky to trust MS to get things done on an acceptable level without nearly 3 years of bug squashing and security auditing per Windows version.

I've kept my employer on 7 until next year for reasons like these. Considering all the update and security issues with Win10, we might even put this off until 2018.

The more complex software is, the more potential security flaws and memory leaks. All software is subjected to this. Bringing HTML5 to browsers adds to this, and don't assume browsers are immune because they are not developed by Adobe.

Same arguments can be made for Flash: Plugin's developer can fix it without waiting for browser. Disable the plugin and use the same browser.

Conclusion: makes no difference conceptually.
I think for some people, "clunky" means "Temple of Trials".

It's still infamous as a horrible failure of game design, and puts a significant number of people off the game without ever seeing the part where diverse builds are actually viable. It's a bit liking firing up the original XCOM - it might be perfectly good, but the very beginning is so bizarrely hostile and underexplained that a modern player would never know.

How does this compare to something like Grafana? https://github.com/grafana/grafana
> We wanted space in the box so expansion cards would fit. The printing company recommended a cheap cardboard insert. The empty cardboard insert created a crumple zone that caused hundreds of games to arrive damaged.

It also means you're paying extra for manufacturing, transporting, storing and then shipping... empty space.

The size of the box seems huge if the game is just a deck of cards (which it seems to be from the demo video? There doesn't seem to be a board or anything like that?)

Is there a way to instead offer different versions of the game, that are simply different sets of cards, that can be played independently (and therefore do not need to be stored together by the end users).

Author here. One thing to emphasize is that all processes run in the browser and are isolated from whatever underlying OS/filesystem the browser is running on - there is nothing special to think about in terms of sandboxing or security. If as a developer you want to give users access to their underlying filesystem, you can do so as usual (HTML5 FS API in Chrome, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Using_files_from_we... in general).

Migrating from Webpack 1 to Webpack 2
Once I realized that I was not going to be that good at math (I bailed on a Ph.D program a few months before I was supposed to start), I went into quant finance to make money. I was okay at it, but not great. From there, I somehow ended up in the software world (mostly, I'd say, because I learned to program as a quant trader, certainly not through my coursework).

I ended up in marketing by chance: I am the 1st employee at the current startup and naturally evolved into that role because I am technical but not an engineer and like to write/say stuff.

Marketing, especially product marketing, is one of the most under-rated and under-recognized role in the startup world, but in many B2B businesses, it's just as important (or so I'd like to believe) as engineering and sales.

I tired of the 'whack-a-mole' game and just stopped installing post-March 2015 updates on my Win 7 install. It may be vulnerable(what isn't?), but 3rd party sandboxing, firewall and noscript mitigate the immediate, automated threats well enough(last succeasful exploit on my machines outside of a purposely infected VM: ~2009). When MS can no longer harvest my activities(or I can deny them control) I will revisit my security policies. Until then, I will continue to disable updates, harden my firewall and deny any contributions to MS* 's data grab.

hi @TrueDuality.
I updated the code over the last hour - so probably those were the bugs.

>It's super weird that anyone exposed to a Unix system can't write a bash script!

Why is it weird? I've been working with UNIX systems for more than 20 years, somewhat of a Vim expert and I don't think I can write a bash script. Never needed to. Sure I can modify .bash_profile and I can read bash scripts but writing them to do something useful? Nope. I'd use something like Perl or awk instead. The only time I ever wrote any kind of shell script on my memory was a tcsh (csh?) one in the 90s because the box didn't have any scripting languages installed.

Tell that to IBM, adding 1500 professional Macs a week.

By the end of 2016, roughly one in four IBM employees will use a Macintosh computer. The tech giant, which employs 400,000 people, bought and provisioned 90,000 Macs since it started to support Apple laptops in June 2015. It expects to have at least 100,000 Macs deployed by 2017.

IBM now has the largest enterprise Mac deployment in the world, and it is Apple's biggest business customer for Macs, according to Mac maker. Apple declined to provide details on the other leading enterprise Mac customers, but SAP, Kelly Services and Intuit are among the company's most recognizable clients. In total, IBM says it manages 217,000 Apple devices for its employees today, including those 90,000 Macs, 81,000 iPhones and 48,000 iPads.

I understand where you're coming from as I've worked both in and outside of SV (Amazon isn't in SV but shares the culture). Though it may look like they're asking for a lot, it has to do with the demanding nature of the jobs they're working.

To answer your question about being woke up in the middle of the night, there is no such thing as a "shift". Most of us are expected to work at the very least 60 hour work weeks (no additional pay, everyone is salaried), with many jobs beings 'always on', extending our work into nights and weekends with take home laptops. A typical (though not universal) day at Amazon is like follows:

- Wake up and open laptop to check emails and get some work in.

- Shower, eat, etc. before going into work.

- Work until around 7-8pm.

- Come home and eat, then open up laptop to work (maybe with the tv on in the background) up until going to bed.

Waking hours are pretty much consumed by work, and on weekends a lot of people will do a couple hours here and there and between other things, to stay current with issues.

If people in SV look like they're asking for a lot or getting upset over petty things, it's because of the sheer soul sucking amount of work that's being imposed on them. Small conveniences like a catered cafe makes the difference in helping them work through it.
Personally, I find CBC the only news that is palatable. They do have a left slant, but that seem consistent with the average citizens position when compared to the USA and the news/media we get from them.

The stories are different too, which might come from an incentive to provide a public service rather than a sensationalization of what is happen as a profit motive.

Hey Ben,

Thanks for this incredibly thoughtful comment.

I made this video because I believe in what Time Well Spent is about and wanted to tell a story that got both consumers and designers excited about the movement. Excited about designing technology that enhances our humanity. I'm hoping we start to move towards a world where consumers are willing to pay for tech that helps us live fuller lives. This movement is not about blame, but awareness and conversation. Snowden has brought privacy into the tech conversation, shouldn't the paths designers/developers are leading consumers down and whether that's in our best interests be a part of that conversation too?

Re Google, you're right that Youtube and data-profiling/ad models should perhaps be separated. It's Android and IOS that could be incentivized to adapt to Time Well Spent if we could stir up enough demand for it. Show me the seedless apples! I'll pay... but I fear Facebook Google and Apple have such extensive network effect and access to hardware (the latter two) that we need to plea for the change to happen there.﻿
My mom is a Global fan, surely you've noticed their biases as well?

Realistically, the CBC's left leaning is a balance to all the conservative leaning of the other broadcasters.

There is value in providing content that isn't 100% profit incentivized, especially as a predominately left leaning country (relative to the USA).
