If that's all Slack does, then it is incredibly simple (I realize this is only one part). It has saved me the time of figuring out what pieces make the whole and how they interact with each other (i.e the skeleton). Now, I just I need to slap the nervous system (code) onto it and call it alive.

Do it in a weekend? A codemonkey could do it in a day.

This argument would be different if it were for something like Dropbox, where the internals are really "something else."

But, I agree, with what I believe you're implying, that HN users throw around "I could code it in a weekend," even if it doesn't apply here.
Adults aren't quiet "in public" either. While I do believe in boundaries, as long as kids aren't physically bothering strangers, they have every right to run around and make noise in public as the street musician, the loudly speaking teenager, and the arguing couple.

This doesn't mean a parent is not teaching the kid, it is that their conception of how a kid ought to behave in public is different from yours, thus they have nothing to be 'ashamed' of in their performance. Indeed, I often feel bad for the kid when a parent values other people's judgment more than their child's perfectly valid desire to explore their surroundings.
This is actually existing capitalism though. Capitalism on paper is much different from capitalism in reality.
The free market is just you and me deciding what we want to buy or not. What you want is the politicians to decide what we can and cannot do with our money because we are not smart enough to make free choices, which is the argument behind every single dictatorship.
Yeah, the strange "data structures and algorithms are either everything or nothing" polarization in the opinions on tech interviewing is strange.
For anyone interested in contributing, there is also (as of yesterday) #xi on irc.mozilla.org.
Did you replace all instances across an entire site? Were there any forms on the site using that email address? Is that email address used anywhere else? What about people who are trying to still use the old email address?

I know you're trying to make a point — but I've seen instances where a perceived "simple email change" has actually caused minor service gaps. "One little thing" at best is generally "a handful of little things."
There are only a handful of episodes I enjoy--but I really do enjoy them. Try from the top-ten list they have out there.
That's not true. You don't have to work with people like that.
It doesn't matter since they're going to scrap it in 18.04 for Gnome.
Zoning laws are increasingly local however. At some point, its no longer "Politicians over in Washington" and your own darn neighbors who are attending HOA meetings, deciding to ban Airbnb locally.

A huge part of neighborhood local politics is the ability to push out "poor" people to certain corners. Single-family home dwellers don't like apartments or townhomes closeby. Not only are they "unsightly", they are filled with "lower class people" and "bring down home values". (often: codewords for browner and otherwise "less white" people)

But its important to realize that this phenomenon is NOT top-down, but instead bubbles up from the bottom up. The people who think this are your neighbors down the street.
You'd have to supplement it with a survey, to find out what how much of what should go where.

I think it's a valid alternative model that accommodates a lower transaction cost and higher overall welfare - more people can benefit from consuming art - provided that the income is sufficient to motivate its production. It's certainly not an open and closed case of anarchy; that's just as ridiculous to claim.

The Eurail / Interrail multi-day all-Europe train tickets have a similar mechanism. The basic requirement for travel is that you write your journey into the ticket's itinerary list (a multi-page lined space that you fill in manually); at the end, at your option, you send off the ticket to receive some kind of souvenir. Functionally this acts as a survey of which train trips were taken, so that the money from sales of the tickets can be distributed.
Having used AirBnB for a while, I now prefer to stay in a hotel. Staying in AirBnB I don't feel safe at all and 80% of the AirBnB's I stayed had one problem or the other. There is no importance given for the safety or even a proper door. I dont want to deal with problems when I stay somewhere for pleasure or business. And No, I dont want to read hundreds of reviews before I make my decision. I am back to hotel stays. I hope their lobbying finds success.
For two crazy seconds I thought this would involve figuring out how to better compete in the marketplace.

I would say it's unfair to compare a library to the basic PDO. If you want to compare apples to apples, try looking at Sequel versus Doctrine or some other third party SQL library.

Just like any other template language (thinking of something like ColdFusion or ASP), of course one unescaped variable is going to be a headache. But you don't have to use it that way, and probably shouldn't. While PHP started as a template language, it has clearly moved past that.
The facts of Luck
But some of us like the status quo where drunken vacationing Europeans aren't allowed to rent out units in our residential apartment buildings.

Trying to just "disrupt" business without actually addressing and solving the complex issues that define the market is just lazy, and often illegal.

I'm pretty glad we have regulated capitalism. If you like the unregulated kind perhaps you should visit unregulated hotspots like northern Iraq or Somalia and see what Capitalism looks like in all its raw glory.

> The reality is, for things like video and pictures it probably won't be a problem. However, if the data is sensitive, you should be using a raid 6 with 2 disk redundancy, coupled with constant data scrubbing to ensure that the disks remain bit rot free. The probability of bit rot occurring at the same place is probably less than 1 in 10^16, possibly even less if data scrubbing is constant.

The first assertion is simply wrong: the internet is littered with people who have corrupt media files which cause user-visible errors. Beyond that, however, RAID can be part of a strategy but is far from sufficient. The paper you linked provides a good discussion of the reasons why but the root mistake is assuming that failures are perfectly distributed random events at a single point.

End-to-end strong integrity checks are so important because e.g. in that scenario with a two-drive RAID array you'd still be subject to errors caused transferring the data from the host to the RAID controller, on the controller itself, in communication to the drives (one reason why it's important to mix vendors & models), and on the path back when reading data. You'd also have to worry about corruption in memory, errors caused by e.g. power fluctuation or other hardware events which may be grossly underestimated because they're silently detected and retried until you get lucky and one of the 100,000 errors happened to generate a valid checksum, etc.

Generating a cryptographic hash as early as possible and checking it at every stage is key both because it catches almost all of those scenarios but also because it allows you to confidently report a positive validation result rather than just the absence of detected errors.
>My Facebook feed is nothing but ads, low effort clickbait, and liberal anti-Trump news pieces.

Hah, thanks to my cousin I get the conservative clickbait pages. It's just weird how people just share that sort of junk. I prefer sharing the Babylon 5 memes and jokes (that mostly no one gets) which I have to wonder if I'm confusing her and the rest of the family yet (No one remembers Zathras...).
Voice overs
Yeah, this concept that people like having a "sense of mission in their lives" that only a job can fill is such insidious nonsense I lose respect for anyone who repeats it. It's true that people prefer jobs to handouts, and that retirees are different from people collecting benefits. You know why people like having jobs? Because they want to have control over their lives.

It's not about the joy of work or finding a convenient way to meet people for actual ordinary people, it's about knowing that the money in your bank account came from something you did, and it isn't going to go away. People don't want to be at the mercy of some faraway bureaucracy, they want to be paid for their own labor and save their own money. If you implemented a UBI system and then forced everyone to head to the labor camps, this wouldn't make them any happier; it's not about the work, it's about who they perceive as in control.

Honestly, this is the reason (as much as certain parts of the SV or HN set recoil at the thought) that it's important to have diversity across class, culture, race, and gender at these sort of discussions about broad social policy. Of course Sam Altman can jet over to the Family and say "You know, people like having to go to work every day." It's such a hilariously out-of-touch thing to even suggest I can no longer take his ideas seriously. When the first things that come into your mind when you think of a job are "having a sense of mission in your life" and "going to the office to see your cool, fun colleagues" you are too far removed from the daily reality of everyone outside your bubble to make remotely reasonable suggestions on large economic reform.
Please read this with a grain of salt as it does not seem practical or necessary. It seems like the kind of thing written by a young person who is excited but doesn't really have much experience. Most of the ideas would not be real-world-useful as stated.

Excitement is nice to feel, but it takes some experience to know when excitement is really aimed in a productive direction. Otherwise we end up with the kind of motivation that so often produces over-complex and mis-aimed software: having a "cool idea" for "exciting technology" and then looking for places to apply it, and the applications don't really fit or don't really work, but we don't want to notice that, so we don't.

To pull examples: an entire one of these essays is on "paren matching" and how it would be really great if you monoidized (ugh) and parallelized that ... the basic idea of which is instantly shot down by the fact that language grammars are just more complicated than counting individual characters. Hey bro, what if there is a big comment in the middle of your file that has some parens in it? The author didn't even think of this, and relegates this to a comment at the end of that particular essay: "Jonathan Tomer pointed out that real parsing is much more interesting than just paren matching." Which is a short way of saying "this entire essay is not going to work so you probably shouldn't read it, but I won't tell you that until the bottom of the page, and even then I will only slyly allude to that fact." Which in itself is contemptuous of the reader -- it is the kind of thing that happens when you are excited enough about your ideas that the question of whether they are correct is eclipsed. This leads to bad work.

There's the essay about the scrollbar -- if you have a 100k-line text file, do you really want a really long line somewhere in the middle to cause the scrollbar to be narrow and tweakyin the shorter, well-behaved majority of the file? No, you probably don't! But this shoots down the idea that you might want to do a big parallel thing to figure out line length, so he declines to think about it. In reality what you probably want is the scrollbar to be sized based on a smooth sliding window that is slightly bigger than what appears on the screen (but not too much).

Besides which, computers are SO FAST that if you just program them in a straightforward way, and don't do any of the modern software engineering stuff that makes programs slow, then your editor is going to react instantly for all reasonable editing tasks.

I don't want to be too overly critical and negative -- these sorts of thoughts are fine if they are your private notes and are thinking about technical problems and asking friends for feedback. It becomes different when you post them to Hacker News and/or the rest of the internet, because this contains an implicit claim that these are worth many readers' time. But in order to be worth many readers' time, much more thought would have had to go in ... and as a result, the ideas would have changed substantially from what they are now.

I didn't read past essay 4, so if it gets more applicable to reality after that I don't know!
What benefits you or me individually can easily be detrimental if we all start doing it, even if we take as a given your (in my opinion incorrect) assumption that in an unfettered free market there aren't some actors far more powerful than others.

It's definitely not the most eloquent way to put it, but I think it gets the point across.

"People are in a rush these days, let's not get in their way."
Yep, it's maybe a little more complicated than I let on. We went through the same process you described on a recent engagement and here was the outcome:

> There’s also the unfortunate culture in technology that devalues everything unrelated to militant capitalism.

> To work or participate in the technology industry is an exercise in minimizing manipulation (or, if you’d like to be rich, maximizing it). This feels shitty in a tremendously heavy way.

I wonder if Kyle has considered working somewhere that isn't Silicon Valley. I'm in London, and i don't recognise this description in the companies i worked with in my last few years of consulting, or interviewed with when i got out of it. I doubt very much that London is any kind of shangri-la of corporate enlightenment, so i would guess it's like that in most places.
One of the reasons why I sometimes dislike my industry (design) is it's filled with a lot of Medium posts that get highly upvoted by say, emerging or other adept designers, yet it's rare that someone will substantiate their claim with data to prove that a rule or belief that they state is actually true. Sometimes I feel like designers believe x only because other designers believe x, when in reality non in-group behavior might suggest something completely different, that x is irrelevant, unnecessary, or confusing.

What I enjoy about learning about other subjects that make claim in research papers is that it is at least legitimized through a rigorous process. One can substantiate that y is better than x because tests show doing y requires less computing time than doing x. Or that doing y results in higher accuracy of the model. While getting a research paper published is an imperfect process where even high quality ideas get rejected for at times pretty trivial reasons, I can appreciate the process itself mostly results in a sharpened idea.

>I hope their lobbying finds success.

Your opinion piece is fine until your last line where you support using the state to ban other people from making the choice that you prefer not to make.
You'll then get a job within 2-3 months at a higher salary than what your startup paid you ... plus you'll have a brand new network in your startups industry, with competitors that respect what you've done & gone through.
Its not controversial that diabetic behavior is influenced by blood sugar levels.

Studies used to exclude diabetic / prediabetic / obese kids because there were not many of them in the 70s before corn syrup.

Now of course over 1/5 of kids are obese or whatever definition, so once that legacy exclusion is eliminated...

People keep forgetting that this FS was designed by Apple for use in their appliances.

Apple devices, save for their least sold model (MacPro), in their least sold product line (Mac) are consumer devices with no ECC RAM. Most people don't know what ECC RAM is, most don't care, and won't pay more for it.

For Apple, it doesn't make sense to switch to ECC for system memory, however, if they implement storage ECC at block level in their SSD controller (Apple designes their own SSD controllers), they can obtain the same functionality at much lower cost (only flash controller RAM needs to be ECC).
External political oversight* is one thing. Control is another.

There is a trend of legislature propping up broken industries to the detriment of the people. Take the dealer network argument for example.

Dealers argue that the existence of dealers creates inter- and intra-brand competition that drives prices lower and benefits the consumer. In the same breath, however, they say that it is impossible to compete with direct sales from Tesla. It is too competitive.

These are two contradictory statements. Dealers act as a middlemen that necessarily increase prices in order to generate profit that is allocated to said dealers. Dealers have historically enjoyed this now-oft-unnecessary place in the chain of automobile conveyance. But dealers view this profit source as a basic right which must be legislatively protected. And, thus far, they have been quite successful at lobbying for mandates which require these market inefficiencies.
I barely use Facebook and honestly I can't imagine how anyone uses it. At this point, I think the only social network I use is Twitter and mostly because I follow quite a few synthwave artists and just content creators in general. The news side of Twitter isn't much better than what Facebook offers IMO, it's 99% opinion dressed up as news.
If you like staying in hotels, wouldn't it be better if the hotel industry failed to lobby against AirBnB? That would mean cheaper rooms for you!
More generally, the Internet Archive does a bunch of things that make it harder/uninteresting to pursue for copyright issues.

1.) That you list is a big one. With respect to websites, the ability to change robots.txt goes a long way toward creating an assumption of ownership even retroactively.

2.) The IA is non-commercial.

3.) The IA doesn't have deep pockets.

Add it all up and although much of what the IA does archive is in a pretty murky legal area, the fact that it's willing to take most things down and that there isn't a big payday to be gained from suing them, leaves them mostly free to do what they do.
I use PHP quite a bit outside of the web.

I think tpetry was pointing out the difference between a language and a framework built on that language.

(Replace language with whatever you think it is, it's still a subset just like Ruby on Rails is a subset of Ruby)
Yeah, those prices are... wow?!

It even says these are introductory prices, which to me at least normally means a 'time limited, cheaper offer'.
> Blogs have Open Peer Review

No, they don't. This is conflating having an opinion with the scientific review process. The scientific review process can prevent publication of bad research in journals and require changes before publication, the blog "review" process cannot do either of these things.

>The author isn't a "he"

Historically, "he" has been a gender neutral way of referring to another person when gender is irrelevant to the conversation (such as it is now). "They" may be more politically correct, but "he" is still a completely valid gender-neutral term. There's no need to correct that, gender is completely irrelevant to this discussion.
Maybe the reason they are struggling in their job is because of the boss? Such as "If you put a person into a job that is beyond them..."?

In my experience if there are external forces beyond the manager's control causing problems for the workers, then the cause is likely someone further up the chain than the manager. Eventually you have to reach someone that is responsible for what happens inside the company.
I don't think hackers outside the establishment have that kind of power, but cybersecurity is the frontline between super-powers in the 21st century. I wouldn't be surprised if we have a kind of Stanislav Petrov[0] figure, who'll refuse to press the button in a first strike cyber attack.

There is a difference between oversight and control. Maintaining market inefficiencies to the detriment of consumers, simply for the sake of maintaining status quo and profit allocation to the establishment, goes beyond mere regulation.
I used Sylpheed in 2001 for awhile before moving mostly to mutt. Recently, I found my old Sylpheed mail folders. 16 years later Sylpheed reads those mail folders and works just like it did back in the day. Still very fast and responsive too.
I won't say those motivations are nonexistent, but having a bunch of unknown short-term people coming for a stay in a neighborhood makes it less like an actual neighborhood (who cares if I make a mess and do a half-assed job cleaning up?) and a temptation to turn housing into lucrative rentals squeezes housing stock in places where it's already constrained.
Truth is, though, if you're going to pay the transpilation tax (and it's lower than many still seem to think), there's just better options: TypeScript, Flow, ClojureScript, PureScript. A nicer syntax was never that interesting.

Political regulation is just you and me delegating representation of interests. What you want is for corporations to decide what we can and cannot do with our money because we are not smart enough to make free choices, which is the argument behind every single corporation.

Companies do not exist for altruistic purposes. They exist to make a handy profit for the fee at the expensive of many sometimes. Regulation extends a more fair playing field in some cases. Sometimes it protects the public interest. It's why there's no Walmart in Seattle.
Customer success management: going from reactive to proactive
“They’re just logs, they can’t possibly impact my code efficiency.” More bad news: oh yes they can, particularly in the critical execution path. Lots of people seem to think that there is no cost to dropping DEBUG statements around their code willy-nilly. This is usually true on your laptop,

Haha - this happened to me last week and I found out the hard way. My log had grown so quickly that the code was taking 15 seconds just to append to it.
Without legislating any particular example I agree that regulation can be used as a cudgel to stifle competitors too, but I don't agree that the answer is to throw out the concept.

This Ubuntu version has also replaced Unix/Linux's ancient swap partition with a swap file. The net effect should be to make Ubuntu a bit faster in situations where the system is overburdened with applications and has to resort to using drive space in place of memory.

There are reasons a swap file might be preferable to a partition, or maybe to get rid of swap altogether, but it's not this.
