Seems to me like a perfectly reasonable correlation. During the day people might stumble on a problem that they aren't sure how to handle. They search that problem in google and end up in SO.

You might not be an average SO user?

Multiple times in the past, Mr Gattani would come back home from Cuberon, his startup, after having an argument with his co-founder and tell me, “you and my co-founder (who shall remain unnamed) are the same – lazy, empty promise makers, Positive fools, with no results. I can’t trust him.”

I have a bit of a bone to pick with Facebook here. I just checked the commit dates on this project, and the repo was posted inside of a month after I filed an issue on the draft-js repo linking to a project of mine with the very same name.
(In fact it's the name of a larger project who's repo is private, but I named a component developed for the project (using draft-js) to a public repo in order to release it to support the community building around the draft-js framework.)

I'm not saying anything conclusively here except somebody neglected to do any due diligence. A search on Github would have revealed the project name already existed.

edit: The domain name was registered on March 9, 2017 -- four days after my project was posted to one of Facebook's open source repositories.

If anybody has any information on who I can contact about this I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm torn between laughing and crying; having used VBA extensively in the past.

I've used VBA for stupid things like Excel based apps (not stupid at the time, but in hindsight there was a better way) and stupid things like HMI software with VBA hooks (GE Fanuc Cimplicity, in case you were wondering).

One thing that gets me in the zone is time. I really begin to focus at night. When I spend the night programming, it is extremely productive, but during the morning or evening, I can't really wrap my head around sitting in front of a computer.
It's not the German justice going after it, that's the point. Why would they? They're not looking to punish anyone, but simply make unwanted statements disappear.

Right now, they've appointed a private organization (Arvato) that belongs to the Bertelsmann group, which has a strong lobbying branch and is very close to the government.

So basically, a private corporation is allowed to run its own show on all ends and it'll only get worse when they turn this into a law.

Events like this highlight the fallacy that big company jobs are stable and secure, while startup jobs are risky. I think the Expected Value of a big company salary stream is probably slightly higher than that of a series of startup salaries, but the difference isn't nearly as large as people fear.

>"hurt user engagement"

if Facebook is personalizing everyones feed based on what they click, isnt the clicker to blame for the result of personalization, not the technology provider. it sounds like your friends didnt engage with your posts, they did engage with other posts, and the facebook feedback loop built them a filter bubble of things they liked more than your posts.
Not sure if sarcasm? The writer was super clear about the desired end state, which is: "Write a statement that distills your product into Action/Output". But arriving at that action/output is far from simple, especially with products that aren't so simple.

Take any major PaaS/SaaS/IaaS product (AWS, Heroku, SalesForce) and try to distill it into an action/outcome. Can it be done? Probably to a certain degree, but not every product can be described in terms of pushing a button to get something.

Back to the original point and your assertion that the exact formula was provided, this really feels like the "Draw an Owl" meme to me. For those not familiar, here's how you draw an owl:

1. Draw some circles
2. Draw the rest of the fucking owl

It's a great formula if you know how to draw the rest of the owl. But in general, not a great formula at all.

Because it is out of control! You have to have some serious "nalgas" to dive in... I tried some years back and said; "F this" I am going to learn Python and Java. I am not even paid to program in most cases. There is a LOT to be said about stability.

It does need to be reignited or it wouldn't be. It is like being a climate change denier at a climate conference. "Uhhggg why are we talking about this again?" I don't believe its a problem... Well, shit loads of people do!!!!!! SO suck it up buttercup.

It's more of a problem for the "morning people" hypothesis. There's an alternative hypothesis that people work on something, get stuck, think about it overnight and are more likely to decide to ask a question in the morning.
Who else thinks slowing sales is probably due to a supply glut from low interest rates? I know low rates has meant its prime time to invest in capital goods, especially expensive ones. Perhaps they've sold new planes to everyone who wants them, and there's less and less companies interested in buying? Pure speculation, though.
Whoah! The big news for me is that there is a programmer who rarely uses SO.

I use it constantly. Can you say more about:

1. What your programming set up is.

2. What you do when there is an issue?

I didn't know there was a reasonable alternative. I do the Google -> SO a lot. The only time Google brings up a different page is if the question is REALLY basic like how to use a function.

Edit: added this postscript:

I have found a lot less need to look up things like "are there optional parameters in .len()?" because the IDE helps with that.

I need to look up strange errors that I don't understand. (Like when you install a new library and your code breaks). Those are almost never in the official documentation because they didn't plan for it.
Yes, it is a web app, which allows to create mobile apps.

I wouldn't say it promises too much, because it indeed enables developing mobile apps. But I have to fully agree with another sentence you wrote: the product is quickly discarded after failed attempt.

The product is good. But because it is powerful, it comes with a learning curve. Imagine Photoshop - nobody is a master right after starting to use it. How long would it take a human being to learn how to develop apps? Let's say a few months or years - because it requires to learn how to code. With our product learning how to create an app and actually creating it, takes a few hours in total. But still, this is a few hours you need to invest.

So what I would like to achieve with those enterprise prospects, is to get them speak to us right after they fail, instead of discarding.

Any advice on how this can be done?

It definitely requires a change in your mental state at home. It goes from "my place of relaxation" to constant anxiety about whether you should be working. Unless you start with the mindset that you will now always be working, you won't be as productive from home. Maybe once you get some experience you can lighten up a bit, and you should always keep some off-time scheduled for the weekend, but as they say, you can't go home again. And good for some people for not wanting to trade that (along with typically a lower salary and opportunity) for having to show up 8~6.

Unlimited liability is a lie. Equity is liability. Zero is not the floor of DJI. A dollar is 1.5g of gold, so the real 100 year chart is very flat, and that's without re-indexing costs. I'll have the full amount, in species please. Ohh and I didn't even touch on fiduciary risk. If you want to hold equity, have the actual paper certificates in your physical possession. They will tell you that 'we can't do that' but it's BS. Take delivery of your shit, the tide is going out.
Self-selection by, for example, inexperienced users is probably a valid criticism of using SO data for inferring a ranking of languages–although my impression is that they are at a scale where this is less and less relevant.

In this case, the point the article is trying to make is actually something different: "What languages do people use for fun", and I'm having a really hard time coming up with any plausible alternative explanations for their data.
I wish there was one of these correlating gender (actual gender) of the author of the question and language.

if those extra 4 hours means you can work those extra 4 hours for someone online in emergencies you can be a lot more valuable.
I'm a dev who's starting a business and running up against some of this -- for me 'understand the entire market' resonated.

In my case that means knowing the major datapoints about competitors in my space (public vs private companies, who's making/losing money, appannie stats), knowing everything available about cost of user acquisition, and looking at psych studies on user motivations.

These are things I would have benefited from knowing on day 0 but instead only learned after building a prototype that I had to scrap.

If your business is enterprise focused rather than consumer focused, understanding one or two customers is probably good enough for a start.

My take on this is that everyone has their own take on it. Some people like it and want to do it all the time, some hate the idea and could never imagine it as a lifestyle. This makes senses to me. It's a personal preference thing. Different personality styles like different things -- and, as mentioned here already, it can have a lot to do with your personal circumstances and the stage you are in your life and your "career."

What's real nice is to have the ability to find the right balance for yourself, if you have the luxury of a company that's relaxed about such things.

I live in the New Jersey suburbs and have an approximately 2 hour (one way) door-to-door train (includes a 20 minute walk from Penn station) commute to get to my office in Manhattan. For me, I like to be able to work at home 2-3 days a week. I do like to go into the office and see my co-workers and friends. I would feel out of it and lonely if I didn't have that. I just don't want to do it 5 days a week. Thankfully I have that luxury now. Situations change all the time and nothing is forever, but it's great at the moment.

There's a lot of SO content regarding working around JS/DOM incompatibilities between browsers. Without those incompatibilities through the years, SO might (incorrectly) think that JS usage is lower than it is.
The bailed out 'the capital class'? That is total nonsense. They bailed out specific industry that have good political connections.

Business is market [1] + product [2]. Don't start with product, start with market.

[1] Market is a group of people whom you can reach and who have a problem you could probably solve.

[2] Product is whatever thingamajig that solves the problem market has. Probably software, but don't force it.

So, the said people, who were given apartments for free, are now complaining of their new apartments, given for free as well, most likely in much better conditions compared to the time of initial free housing received from the state? They complain that although the buildings that they actually own are in a condition that worsened (value drop) over time and have to be demolished (i.e. having a negative value) now, they demand to be compensated for some plus of value to which they haven't contributed in any way!? Did I got this right?

> Different environments for different people, I guess.

One of the best things about remote work is that it puts the responsibility for the working environment on the individual rather than the organisation. Different people thrive in different environments, and forcing everybody into the same environment isn't going to get the best out of everybody. But people tend to know which environments they work best in, and remote work lets them work in the environment that suits them best. Do you need to lock yourself away in silence to concentrate? You can do that. Do you need human contact to stay sane? Go to a co-working space or coffee shop.

I am not sure how incomprehensible it is, but I can say that the c2nim wrapper tool is pretty darn good. Andreas (author of Nim) quickly wrapped all of Urho3d in Nim almost fully automated. So IMHO Nim is a great companion to C++ libraries.

>such a small share of such a large market

I think you underestimate the size of the active players in the market, especially considering leverage, which they generally are to the hilt.
But the "correct" price is the one the investors are willing to buy at, right?

Imagine that 99.98% of all investors are index funds, and there is a company BigCo that is at some point is at the top of the market. So pretty much every index fund invests in it.

Then suppose BigCo makes some move that would traditionally be a mistake. Like it has some scandal, the sales drop off, etc. Say it even has a bad quarter.

How do I, an active investor (among the remaining 0.02%), make profit from the arbitrage? For the stock price of the company to fall, there'd have to be no buyers at the given price. But the index funds will keep investing in it. Why would it drop off even a little?

"you have to pick up your life and say goodbye to everyone you know because the market says so" is hardly an outcome we should be promoting.

Disagree. If your town's way of life is based on for example, coal mining, then good riddance. Another example, perhaps the town is based on agriculture but drones cut the need for labor in half, some people will have to either learn some skill that can be applied remotely or move elsewhere to efficiently allocate their labor. The government (imo) shouldn't be "promoting" any lifestyle. Let the markets operate.
> We could also call regulation and safety laws gendered because statistically men work more often in unsafe and dangerous environments.

A valid point, and one worth addressing in its own right.

Why should the sex industry be given the same treatment? The lives of young, poor men are disregarded, and you want to emulate this for some reason? Seems like we should be condemning unsafe vocations instead.. But this is a bit of a tangent.

What do you think occurred?
Hello Y Combinator,

My name is Michael Lund Pedersen.

As a 26-year-old Digital Designer and aspiring Experience Economist, I have acknowledged that the Sony Corporation needs to change.

More than ever, Sony has become irrelevant as a provider of our everyday devices.
Sony needs to rebrand itself as well as simplify and streamline its offerings.

I am making this thread in the hope that you will look at my project "It's a Sony" and offer your feedback.

I said 'almost certainly' because after a 200 year trend that is a reasonable thing to say. Plus we have theories of economics of the firm that analyses the problems with these sort of organsiations.

So I feel reasonable confident saying 'almost certaint'.

Oh yeah, thanks, you know exactly what I am talking about, great. I have covered every inch of the floor and desk in my room with soft plastic mats and blankets, also wrapped the angles of all hard articles up with soft and thick clothes. Keeping everything around me soft and safe makes my nerves comfortable and relaxed. Hope you become better too!
Thank you for your comments. Still, I don't think what I should do is to go to a lobby. When I'm in the lobby I still need to figure out which person I need to speak to...

In my situation that person has already come to me. But I cannot convince him (it's usually him, not her) to talk to me. He is window shopping. He is just looking around and playing by himself, but whenever approached acts as if he wasn't there.

These guys are on my website because they need a custom app. But I don't know what app, with what features and how I can help them.

I'm looking for a hint on how to approach these guys and make them talk.

Anyone?
