Hi - PM for Windows Console & Bash on Windows here.

YES ... one day ;)

We're keen to figure out a decent tab story for the console, and the feature ask is on our backlog, but we're currently fully booked completing some important internal re-factoring, after which we'll be able to return to working on important asks like this.

FWIW, we're currently giving the Windows Console its biggest overhaul in > 30 years!! We're re-factoring and modernizing many of the Console's core internals.

We'll be writing-up the why's and wherefores of what we're up to in a couple of months.

Stay tuned on our blog (https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline) and follow me on Twitter (https://twitter.com/richturn_ms) for news, udpates, and info.

In short: the packaging might say there was say 1lb of chicken tenders. In fact, there was only .8 lb.

It looks like this applied to deli/meat items? So not pre-packaged foods on the shelf, but the store-packaged items like meat and deli trays.
You don't reply to emails.
This also seems very plausible to me. I've seen my cat to be frightened by sudden appearance in the mirror just to relax in about 0.5 s. Clearly not enough time to decide if the creature in the mirror is harmless, but apparently enough to recognize himself. The second time he faces mirror in this location he isn't scared anymore. This isn't at all similar to how he reacts to actual cats.

Also, it isn't the same with all cats I've known. Some seem to be more clueless than others.
Fwiw, Go has an official package manager in development. Granted, they'll still be using repos rather than a central host.
Your pitch deck will get you meetings, not investment. No one invests from only seeing a pitch deck.

From speaking with investors, we learned about better ways to get across what we are doing. What the key ares that interested investors, etc. Most of that we learned was from the actual conversation rather than specific feedback on the deck.

On a side note, the first version of this deck makes me slightly embarrassed. Even the "final" version does because the company has evolved since we closed our investment round.

I can't imagine how; most people will simply dismiss it and continue praying to their Gods and scientists already believe what it would prove so few minds would change and unless it directly leads to some practical output it simply won't matter to most of the world.
How would you verify it then? Do you have the coordinates for where the bomb dropped and recent maps of the area? A year ago we said that all ISIL soldiers had been removed from the area, verification seems tricky.

Thanks for sharing this. A quote I won't forget. Seems unreal, really.
I remember taking part in a big drawing canvas exactly like this about twelve years ago between several Art/Photoshop communities, Worth1000.com, SomethingAwful, Fark.com etc. There wasn't bots at the time but it was still very socially interesting.
But Amazon isn't "customer focused" when it comes to strategic threats - for example Android - and Amazon's response - the Fire phone, Their App Store.

So the question is - are low cost goods, coming pretty directly from chinese manufacturers, often counterfeited and sold at a low price a strategic threat to Amazon ?

They might, if you look at alibaba, but also on the tendency of capitalistic markets to stabilize on focusing on crap: just look at the quality of white goods, planned obsolescence, the security of the consumer IOT, etc etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't already have a team working on it's successor: an internet connected mini console that only plays virtual console games off their store. You could even have a custom common plug on the front and sell a bunch of generations of controllers for some obscene amount of money and know that their'd be a lot of people who'd get four each of at least NES, SNES, and N64 controllers. $40 a pop and that's $480 right there.

Although it's Nintendo and they're kind of known for not catching some of the easy throws.
There's two reasons, to me, why formatters make a lot of sense. First, working in large teams, not everyone will agree on a formatting convention and it's very difficult for people to internalize the convention and stick to it. This leads to, at best, inconsistencies in the code and, at worst, bike shedding discussions on which conventions to use that distract from shipping actual features. When HBO's Silicon Valley had its lead character lose out on a promising relationship because of a spaces vs tabs argument, it hit dangerously close for those of us that have had to endure a months-long meetingfest to arrive at a company standard for code formatting. Once you've been through that hell, you can appreciate the simplicity of just invoking a tool during the build process.

Second, there's what I'd call the "Mark Zuckerberg clothing" reason. When asked why he always wears the same style clothes, he said, "I really want to clear my life to make it so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to best serve this community." Similarly, code formatting doesn't deliver value to customers/users. The more you can ignore it, the more you can focus on other things. When I first started using code formatters, they irked me greatly. But once you get used to them as a part of your process and start to feel comfortable reading the code they spit out, they transition to being liberating. The formatting fades into the background and all you see is the logic in the code. And I didn't realize just how much time I was spending getting indentation levels correct and aligning things until I entirely stopped doing those things. Now I write code that looks really ugly until I hit save and then it looks exactly the way that the rest of my code looks.
>"Do you think people went to Walmart "just because"? They avoided all those amazing local shops to go to Walmart because it was worse?

I don't have a Walmart near me, I live in city where there isn't one, I actually don't know much about the Walmart experience. So its not really such an obvious question is it?

>"I'm wondering if there aren't quite a few on HN that don't even know what a pre-Walmart world was like, especially in smaller cities/towns."

Not only am I old enough to remember pre-Walmart but I'm also old enough to remember Pre-Internet.

Your comments are both presumptuous and arrogant.
But they wanted a lot more than that. Engines like Phaser work hard to take care of browser quirks for things like PointerEvents vs. TouchEvents vs. MouseEvents or supporting mobile devices. Sure, it seems simple at first until you run into those kinds of problems and reinvent the wheel... learning an engine isn't terribly complicated but I understand the sentiment for a one-time project. It just seems like they did so much other planning but didn't want to plan the UI implementation to the same degree?
I'm sure there is all sorts of financial wisdom I'm unaware of in this space, but I would expect most employees to lock in a decent bit of real cash value at lock out while still maintaining some stake in hopes of future appreciation. If you've been trading real money for paper money for some number of years it seems that the rationale move would be to lock in some non-trivial gains.

For what it's worth, the FreeNAS folks strongly discourage running FreeNAS virtualized.

Unity is being dropped and unity 7 had already been in maintenance mode for a long time, so it's not surprising there's no unity changes here.
While not an exact example, it matches GameBoy creator Gunpei Yokoi's concept of "Lateral Thinking with Withered Technology." The idea is that you find widely understood tech, which is inexpensive due to its widespread use in other areas, and find a way to use it in making games. Everything from using calculator LED displays for the Game & Watch to using an accelerometer in a Wii Remote follows that principle.

Sourcing a bunch of inexpensive parts and throwing together something like the NES Classic Edition to fill the gap in an otherwise Nintendo-less holiday season seems to fit that mantra.

Yokoi made some of the first toys (for personal enjoyment, out of spare parts in a factory) which, when Nintendo's young president Yamauchi saw them, convinced him to really commit to the consumer toy space.
As an aside, i love Go, and use it fulltime at work. With that said, i agree with the view that Go is boring, and not likely to expand you in the way you seek.

It's usually less rails oriented than C#, so you will figure out a lot of stuff for yourself, but in general it's quite boring (i like that). If you're interested in something interesting, i am in love with Rust, and definitely recommend it.

I don't personally use it these days, as i am not sure i want to invest in the tradeoff of safety vs prototyping speed. However i definitely recommend it as a cool language.
This is fulfilling an election promise to "bomb the shit out of them".

I guess it depends on the engine, or maybe that was a rhetorical question. It doesn't take a month, or even a week, though--maybe to master them but not to learn the API. We've worked hard on our little project to design our engine for non-game developers or veterans, it's only a few lines of code to move a square, or draw an image, for example. But I understand the sentiment, especially for a one-time project.
To be fair to ConEmu, Cmder, Hyper, and all the other Windows terminals/consoles, we don't currently provide a way for them to truly become genuine consoles.

We're working to fix that, but we have to clean things up a little first. Bear with us.

The problem with doing the same in JS is that the language has been around much longer, and wasn't designed for use with a formatter. ASI failures is a great example.

That would be great. I am sure they would agree on a recurring meeting schedule pretty quickly. The problem is that our courses are remote/online, so they need to agree on a meeting time to do a video conference or call so they can talk to discuss their schedule preference.

I was thinking of putting them in contact using text messages since people are more responsive that way. They could even decide to make a quick phone call. Unfortunately, I have students in more than 30 different countries and sometimes they would need to make an international phone call.

I have also tried inviting them to our Slack team and introducing them to each other so they can do online calls. But people who are not used to using Slack yet tend to not be very responsive, so the back and forth takes forever and people get frustrated in the process.

SparkMeter | Web Engineer (Backend Focus) | Waltham, MA | Full-time, ONSITE with flexible work location and schedule | http://www.sparkmeter.io/en/jobs/webengineerbf/

Come join SparkMeter’s software team and help increase electricity access in developing countries. As a Web Engineer, you will help build the web application our utility customers use to set up and operate our affordable smart metering systems. Your work will be high impact: the electrification your code will help enable is not an incremental improvement, it is a fundamental change in the way real people live, work, go to school, eat, and relax.

Our smart metering solution consists of hardware electricity grid sensors that communicate with each other and their base stations wirelessly over a range of up to several kilometers. Our customers use a suite of software called SparkApp to remotely monitor usage and load, adjust tariffs (electricity rates), and more. SparkApp consists of two primary Python (Flask) web applications: GroundBolt, running locally on the base station, and ThunderCloud, running remotely in the cloud. SparkApp is a key differentiator for our solution: other smart meters and similar products on the market don’t have anything like it.

In this role you'll focus primarily on new feature development. You'll work closely with Johan, our software engineer, and Lawrence, our frontend-focused web engineer, to create new features like a utility customer onboarding wizard, data visualizations, operator alerts, and more.

At SparkMeter, our core value is opportunity: the opportunity for underserved communities to achieve great things. That's why our mission is to increase access to electricity in underserved communities - it is electricity and the services derived from it that unlock and create those opportunities. This value is reflected in our hiring ethos: we believe that the strongest teams have diverse backgrounds. Our approach to hiring has been validated by academic and industry studies that show that workforce diversity improves team and business performance. (It has also been validated by the quality of the team we’ve assembled so far!) We encourage applications from members of groups currently underrepresented in software engineering.

You can read the complete description for this role, including requirements and how to apply, at http://www.sparkmeter.io/en/jobs/webengineerbf/. Thanks!
I understand that's not true. I understand it is an FAA violation (i.e. breaking the law) to drop someone with a confirmed reservation in favour of an employee.

Additionally, what happened was also a violation of the conditions of carriage that the airline had set up. They were breaking their own rules.

What makes you say it's not illegal? Perhaps I'm reading the rules incorrectly.

I think you could be happier but just don't know it yet. :)

Every lint ruleset I've ever used still leaves a TON of formatting discretion to the author – notably about where to wrap. Prettier will format code differently depending on how much space there is left to work with on the line – like a human would do, but always consistent.
I don't think it's possible, as a programmer. It will be hard to do as an employee.

Other ways to do this. Run a consultancy. Run a software company. Freelance.

> "Customer obsession" is not actual, actionable advice because it's not even measurable.

Not quantitatively perhaps, but qualitatively? Oh yes; it can be felt. There are some very large organizations where the employee and managers' main objectives are to get themselves a promotion or bigger bonus and, though it's never explicitly said, the health of the company or welfare of the customer is only a secondary goal.

Re: overweight passengers, if I ran an airline, there would be a seat with side panels to test your fit. The seat would have side pressure sensors. If you can sit in the boxed seat without touching either side, fine. If you can't do so without touching one side or the other, you'd have to pay more. We'd also charge for weight, something per-pound. It costs more in fuel to move each additional pound.

There would be a required training course for boarding and unboarding which all potential passengers would be required to pass. We'd also teach people how to put their carry-on in the bin in the correct orientation (with the widest side inserted depth-wise and the second widest dimension vertically such that 4 bags can fit into a normal bin instead of 3 or 2 + that one person's purse which should be under the seat). It'd be like a marching band, with timed choreography. We'd board using the front and rear doors. I bet I could reduce average boarding time to 20% of what it is today.

There would be no in-flight screens for entertainment, no drink or snack service, etc. There would be a double-walled [possibly plexiglass if no lighter alternatives exist] section for people traveling with children under about 12, with a bit of space reserved for anyone acting like they're under 12. This would contain the noise and smells. If this could not be made to work, simply restrict booking to passengers older than 12, then everyone else can appreciate baby-free flights.

The benefits of all of this would be reflected in ticket pricing and clearly-stated business practices + expectations. It would have limited appeal, but excellent customer service and I would expect a cult following of loyal frequent travelers who appreciate efficient travel.
The comment above mine was mentioning chronic underinvestment; I would say that this indicates the current system doesn't work.
Gosh... Lets say you have to purchase X servers at Y dollars, where X*Y>1E8.

How much does an engineer making $200k a year have to reduce X by before he pays for himself? Not much, and simply finding a hotspot and doubling the performance by aligning a data structure or whatnot could pay for his salary for a decade.

The old adage that computers are cheap and engineers are expensive is about 15 years out of date for a large portion of the software being written today. That is when companies stopped being able to generally externalize the costs of shitty code. Plus, as microcontrollers ate the world, the ability to ship a $1 micro controller instead of a $10 one on a product run of 100k units can mean the difference between a competitive growing company and a dying one.

I think this could be awesome. Especially for sports leagues. I play some sports my friends don't play, but there isn't a great way to find a team. And most leagues have a shitty system to sign your name and hope a team needs a spare. But all in all, it's kinda shitty. It would be awesome to be able to join a sports league and connect with everyone else who doesn't have a team so we could make one.

Things are never so simple and clear cut -- delayed sleep phase disorder is a fairly common ailment. There was a recent paper which studied a mutation that might explain some cases of DSPD [1]. According to [1], a sizeable fraction of the population possesses a mutation such that their circadian clock runs ~2 hours slower (their day is longer) and so have a sleeping pattern which drifts. This usually manifests itself as late sleep/late starts.
