Atlassian is trying to own the migration path here, IMO. Trello was never really meant to manage software products, and I've been part of two separate teams that moved from Trello to JIRA when a PM who wanted more enterprise-y management features came on board.

Fog Creek always pitched Trello as a general list app, not a bug tracker, and refused to add features that would've geared it specifically toward bug tracking. I would venture a guess that Fog Creek kind of accidentally shot FogzBugz in the foot with Trello.

My impression is that Atlassian sees Trello's userbase as a strong opportunity to upsell to the enterprise-style tooling in JIRA and recruit more people into the JIRA ecosystem. If this is indeed the value they see, then it wouldn't make sense to change anything about Trello's fundamentals. They'll probably just create a JIRA plugin and plaster JIRA ads all over the place.

The dissolving sponge thing reminds me of a video I watched years ago. They took a fully functioning organ (from a donor) and dissolved the material so that the only part left was the collagen scaffolding. Effectively, it looked like a transparent organ. They then flowed the recipient's blood into the organ and the tissue regrew around the scaffolding, yielding a fully operable organ with zero chance of foreign tissue rejection once implanted. Anyone recognize this and might have a link?
I went in the opposite direction. I downloaded Slackware over a 2400bud modem, and have used Linux ever since then. For a long time, Linux was my principle OS for a laptop, but occasionally using OS X on a Mac laptop.

I have mostly been retired for a long while, and usually try to limit my work time to 4 hours a day. I want that 4 hours to be as productive as possible, and right now my little MacBook is a bit more productive. Cost is not an issue.
>I'm wondering why people focus on financial compensation so much? Why does how much someone was paid justify more or less bashing, as the case might be?

It's simply the issue of gratuitous executive pay. If her pay hadn't been >>100x what a typical SV worker makes I think she'd get significantly less flak. The idea of someone being granted enough money so their great-grandchildren never have to work a day when that person did a poor job after only 4 years on the job just makes people sick. Don't forget some bad stuff happened on Mayer's watch; like 1B user accounts being compromised.
I'd argue that there is exactly one "correct" view of comments on a document, per-community. The correct view is the one that best represents the range of opinions of the community, and bests represents that community's cultural norms.

To be specific, if I'm reading the comments section on Hacker News, I don't want to see comments only from people who agree with me or think how I do, and I don't only want to see comments from people I disagree with. I want to see what the community of HN readers thinks, in the particular way they express it. Additionally, I want to know that what I'm seeing is also what they're seeing.

In a sense, this is still social filtering, except averaged over all members of a community, and with the same results for all members. The community responds to posts with approval or disapproval, through votes or comment responses, and this gets averaged (messily) by the moderators.

I think, really, that there's an almost objective set of metrics for what makes a good comment thread.

* The thread covers most of the held opinions & responses, with few to no 'duplicate' comments

* The posts are well-written and polite

* Assertions about the world are based on agreed-on facts, and justifiable (even if not agreed-on) conclusions stemming from those.

* The posts respect any other cultural norms particular to that community.

These sound subjective, but I think that neutral bystanders would tend to score a post similarly on these different metrics - i.e., there's actually a measurable quality of a post being 'polite', or 'reasonably argued', and it's not entirely relative to an individual reader (or even a single community!)

On a polarizing political post, I don't want to read poorly written insults from the opposing position, but I also want to know that the other side won't be reading poorly written insults that misrepresent my side. I'd rather the best, most rational, and most empathetic posts from both sides be displayed as representative of the discussion.
> Perhaps a company sees immense potential and cultural fit in an employee and wants to groom them for future roles?

As previously stated, the intention of H1B is for ALREADY SKILLED workers in short supply. If they want to groom someone, they should be hiring a US citizen, not going to the H1B pool to find a low-cost foreign alternative.

>The fallacy is in the belief that "photography" is solely defined by the simple act of capturing an accurate representation of reality.

I wish I could upvote you twice. I never understand this mentality. And then on the same side people love the ultra-generic over-saturated tone-mapped HDR with 10-stop ND filter of a creek stuff you see on the explore page of Flickr every day. It's probably too much to ask of people who aren't photographers though. I can't blame people for thinking this way when the entire camera upgrade cycle is based on always more resolution and color accuracy. It's easier for companies to sell cameras this way.

>I've never installed Linux on a laptop and had wireless not suck, at least a little bit.

I've installed Ubuntu on probably at least 20 computers (conservative estimate) and have only had wireless suck once or twice.

I'm currently typing on an old Dell Inspiron N1440 running Ubuntu 16.04 and if I remember correctly, this is the one where wireless didn't work when I installed the OS, but I ran some updates while hardwired before I got to address the wireless issue and the updates fixed it for me.

Also special function keys work as well.
> take them to the court

On the base of what, though? It's well known that the USCIS is mostly self sustained (e.g. minimal government funding) so that money has to come from somewhere. I believe the thought is that getting a visa/permanent residency is considered a privilege, not a right.

>Sounds awesome considering those body shops use up most of the H-1B quota and significantly underpay their employees compared to industry wages. ... It's mostly the low quality outsourcing shops like Infosys, TCS, Wipro, HCL, and Cognizant.

Stupid question: Can you feasibly fix this by restricting it to large companies like that? Isn't that just going to cause them to split into several companies, like NIS ("Not-Infosys") and TNI ("Totally Not Infosys").
Exactly this. The nepotism, the inability to get promoted because you are not a relative or someone, the people who work with management getting all the credit as you said, its all just disgusting. I can't believe Cognizant is as huge a company as it is. They should never have been able to get the size they are.
You're right that the two are difficult to reconcile. Even so, one of my goals this year is to try.

> the program is not being used to bring over workers with "specialized knowledge" as they claim--but to drive down wages.

While that might or might not be the intent, it seems like a pretty likely effect, right? Just based on the additional supply alone?

I wonder about the effect of cutting back H1-B visas too much. If it made salaries rise significantly, wouldn't it upset the social hierarchy of these businesses? Software devs being so scarce that they're getting paid more than executives, e.g.? Seems like working with more foreign software firms is almost a given if costs skyrocket like that.
There are limits to its usefullness. Teeth wear down pver time. This may repair a cavity but cannot rebuild a tooth mechanically worn away with age or with fractures, often a result of cavities. Fillings may be less needed but crowns (i have three) arent going away.

Teeth are not perfect. If i was going to mars id have them all either crowned or replaced with implants. Teeth are strong, but not stronger than metal.
Altaba is just a investment company. The operating business will be sold to Verizon (if Verizon doesn't back out), and the money from the sale goes to Altaba. At that point Altaba ought to liquidate and divide the money among the shareholders, but the management may try to invest in other things to justify their jobs.

I've heard the XPS13 has a nearly-15 usable screen size because of the tiny bevel, any owners care to verify?
The f-number is a ratio, not a specific diameter. f/16 is not the same between a 4x5 lens and a 35mm lens of equivalent angle of view. A 90 mm lens at f/16 has an entrance pupil diameter of 5.65 mm, while a 28 mm lens at f/16 has an entrance pupil diameter of 1.75 mm.

So no, diffraction is not an inherent limiting factor of shooting 4x5 and you will in fact gain resolution. You will only lose depth of field (and your savings) when you go to larger formats.

This is actually a great description of Trello v. JIRA, as well. Trello may not have the burndown charts, but what it does have is dead-simple list management, and it turns out that's what's most effective for managing tasks.

JIRA's BDUF approach to ticketing/bug tracking pleases middle managers whose job is to spend all day clicking around arcane interfaces and finding a way to generate a report that shows their team is highly productive, but it's painful for actual doers to get in there and move stuff around, which means it rarely gets done, which means that the tracking is not very reliable, which means that the value of the bug tracker is dubious. The most important feature any bug tracker can have is that it's low-friction enough that most people will actually use it.

JIRA has tried various things to make this less onerous, including GreenHopper/swimlanes, an attempt to remake JIRA into a Trello-like drag-and-drop interface, but it just never seems to click the same way. For example, today, when I tried to move a ticket in JIRA from the "New" swimlane to the "Done" swimlane, I got a "WORKFLOW EXCEPTION".
SEEKING WORK - remote

Hi, I'm Charles, an application and database developer. I've been the database owner of two different products and in both cases I built, optimized, and maintained the databases to support rapid growth. In the first case, I took over an application that had recently exited the POC stage and grew it into a widely-adopted automation tool used extensively in Asset Management at JPMorgan Chase. In the second case, I added new features and extended existing features to help double the client base and accomodate the needs of these new clients.

If you need someone to build, tune, or grow your database, we should get in touch.

> Wireless hasn't been a problem (for me) for at least the past 3 years

Same experience here. My guess lingering reputations take more than 3 years to die off. Everything has surprisingly worked well out of the box me with my two Xubuntu installations I've done the last week. This is coming from a FreeBSD-land, where I'm used to setting up configurations files to load drivers and installing Xorg, xfce and it's plugins from scratch.
I was surprised to learn at a conference in October that America Online still exists(!), and this (media) is the route that they took. Apparently they own the Huffington Post and Engadget now.
Printing is perfectly fine with Epson printers.
The way this works on Ubuntu is there's a small icon (circle-like) next to the user name, click this and if you have other desktop environments installed, you can select it.

It's a great way to try out new ones. I tried Ubuntu + Cinnamon before making the jump to Mint.
>If most Americans are moving towards un-Denmark-like places and voting for un-Denmark-like politicians, I'm not sure how we are likely to be more like Denmark.

Are the Americans moving from California / New York ones moving from metro areas like LA, SF, and NYC to other metro areas? I've thought that's usually the case and really doesn't have any impact on the red, rural areas. It's not blue state v red state, it's metro v urban (or gerrymandered red v gerrymandered blue).
Will you miss the retina display though?
H1-B workers are generally mostly used as programmers and brought in by large tech companies to use instead of native labor. I'm not really sure what manufacturing has got to do with this unless programming was made obsolete by robots already.
This is cool and I'm tempted. However I was disappointed to see that Quads these days are still using the ESC abstraction;
ISTM that there would be much benefit and savings from a tighter integration, or at least a better digital and bidirectional ESC protocol (yes, I did checkout OneShot and MultiShot - not it).
You don't think that a public CEO's incentives should be aligned with their shareholders?

That's the only way you can have real change, instead of the moral hazard situation we have now.
I used to do just that. But the installation ended carrying many skeletons and cruft.
Now I reinstall Ubuntu LTS every two years and clean up my desktop. If there is a worthy configuration, I carry it over to the new installation.
I've been shooting for almost 25 years, and invested lots of money into 35mm cameras and lenses. To replace my equipment with digital equivalents would cost many thousands of dollars.

I feel compelled to point out for passers by that this is not really completely true: very few 35mm lens formats are wholly incompatible with modern digital bodies, and most support graceful degradation for things like autofocus. However, the crushing truth is that older optics are often insufficient for modern digital full frame sensors. A normal f/1.8 50mm plastic-fantastic Canon lens will give you sharper resolving power 90% of the time than an older equivalent, and only costs $100. Sure, you lose something in bokeh, but that's often irrelevant. Also, there are many compelling technologies that have emerged in lenses recently that are very useful for realistic shooting scenarios: stronger autofocus, quieter operation, better anti-flare coatings, lighter construction, superior per-image documentation (eg. specific zoom lens position recording in EXIF), ability to immediately shift between a far broader range of sensitivities than film and shoot confidently in near-dark, etc. You get none of that staying still, even though the benefits of equipment familiarity should never be understated. Where film does shine is resolution with good optics and larger (>35mm) formats, and dynamic range (though this will come under threat soon, and cannot match multi-exposure HDR).
Heat and radiation, some of which is called light. Infrared energy isn't really heat, nor is it generally called light as it isnt visible.

Similarly, many chemical fires release substantial amounts of UV, but i doubt anyone would see much of it in an emergency through all the smoke and ir. Think rocket fuels.
Yeah, but it's not like the employee is paying for the green card. I have loads of friends on H-1Bs (I'm on one as well) and no one I know has paid for the green card application. That's on the employer and they know what they're getting into when they hire a foreigner.
Lenovo's website is the least of their problems. I'm in the USA and ordered a Thinkpad. They ship out of China. No one in their call centers can give any kind of order status. Their information is days behind. I canceled an order (after they cut the price to try to get me to change my mind) and the thing still shipped. It seems like their Thinkpad factory just pumps them out; no kind of true build to order.

The only good way to get their machines is through a reputable reseller who has them on a shelf.
My point is that it's dogmatic for the entire community to use a single style. I've worked on countless different C programs over the years, most with their own unique style, and while I think it's good for a project to use a consistent style, using it across every project seems dumb.

Cross-project style consistency doesn't buy us anything reasonable--there's no "engineering" about it.

Also, braces around conditional logic isn't what I'm talking about here (since that's not a "go fmt" style choice--that's the language syntax).
We need more companies like Medium
Whoa you're right, there it is.
If you are poor, you can ask USCIS to waive the replacement fee - agency is actually quite accommodating. Obviously it won't work for 99.99% software engineer who actually has money to pay.

The alibaba investment was probably Jerry Yang's best ROI decision aside from being a part of starting the company in the first place...

Unfortunately for Yahoo itself that decision was SOOO good that it would eventually consume the company.

Because there was basically no way for the company to overcome how valuable it was as an Alibaba proxy and wall street started to look at all of its other endeavors as just high risk low chance of return gambling with the Alibaba money.
I'm arguing that any moral consideration you have is arbitrary. If you want to protect dogs, go ahead. If the person lighting them kills you in the process, I can't necessarily say it's wrong, as an agnostic. If you can band together with other pro-life dog watchers, you can probably force your view. You don't have any more hold on the Truth than the Dog Lighters of America. You're not more legitimate in an ultimate sense.

.net MVC, nUnit 3, jquery, knockoutjs, and nHibernate to name a few. I could name a dozen similar tools on the java stack. Pretty soon I'll be experimenting with rust with libui.

>There are 2050 python3-* packages on my system. Not that I think it's a good idea to use most of them. What's "compatible"?

2000 of them are random versions someone made a package for that are unknown to the core team and probably not receiving updates.

Your list of projects sounds like typical academic ones, not tools used by businesses that employ most software developers.

You're also missing the other benefit of these tools, that we develop against the deployed version. There are no compatibility issues because we develop on ubuntu and host production on redhat.
My mistake. Thank you for the correction.
Haha, Verizon owns America Online as well. Perhaps they're going to collect all relics of the 90's internet into some kind of Voltron monster.
You shouldn't adjust for cost of living; remember, the causality flows the other way. SV and the coasts have a higher cost of living because they've found a more value-generating use of the labor that allows workers to bid up prices. [1] If the system favors them, that seems like it's working properly.

Caterpillar shouldn't pay hedge fund wages; they should pay high-for-the-area wages to draw Americans out there rather than use up competitive slots reserved for the most economically valued immigrants.

These days I advise people to pick the most popular distro and leave everything as close to the default settings as possible.

I used to enjoy endless customizing (Enlightenment) but that ended up taking the place of actually doing work. These days I leave everything set to default and install as little software as I possibly can.

The LTS releases get a kernel upgrade and graphics libraries every six months or so. So, you get newer hardware support even if you stay at 16.04.
