Thanks for your feedback!
Sorry I did not reply. It's caused of answer limit - I answered too fast as it appeared.

A simple video has been added as well as our introduction image. I hope it helps. It's quite hard to describe that app.

This is the first version, we have lots of ideas for the future. And our todo list includes choosing space, window position, size and ability to close other apps or close apps from the running workspace.
Good. Maybe the OP should have given the reference.

My main interest here is not microservices but just to tell the HN and computing community to be much more careful with undefined terminology and acronyms.

Here we now have some good descriptions and references on microservices. Good.

My main point is that articles on computing need to have, gee, call them links, to explain jargon and acronyms, to explain stuff not in an English dictionary. The OP on microservices I am using just as an example.

To me, poor technical writing in computing and computer documentation has been one of the worst obstacles to my startup -- darned near killed my startup -- and is a sore point.
In a vacuum it appears absurd, but to understand why people feel this way, you have to look at the big picture of health care costs spiraling out of control and people literally having to choose between food or meds. Middle class people without health insurance and good retirement savings can end up in poverty because of an unexpected illness. Any attempt at health insurance reform gets twisted and maimed into baseless political showboating—I know several people who voted for Trump because they actually believe he can lower their health insurance bills, the fools.

When people think of a photo sharing app they are thinking of breezy fun social media times. When people think of rare disease treatments the sentiment is much darker a priori. I'm not saying drug companies are to blame for the current situation (hate the game not the player), but emotionally it's obvious why there is judgement about profiting from that situation.
This is pretty crazy. It's very hard to imagine working on a single codebase with 4,000 other engineers.

> Another key performance area that I didn’t talk about in my last post is distributed teams. Windows has engineers scattered all over the globe – the US, Europe, the Middle East, India, China, etc. Pulling large amounts of data across very long distances, often over less than ideal bandwidth is a big problem. To tackle this problem, we invested in building a Git proxy solution for GVFS that allows us to cache Git data “at the edge”. We have also used proxies to offload very high volume traffic (like build servers) from the main Visual Studio Team Services service to avoid compromising end user’s experiences during peak loads. Overall, we have 20 Git proxies (which, BTW, we’ve just incorporated into the existing Team Foundation Server Proxy) scattered around the world.

If I was a hacker, this paragraph would probably encourage me to study the GVFS source code and see if I can find some of these Git proxies. I have no idea how you would find them, but there might be some public DNS records. This sounds like some very new technology and some huge infrastructure changes, which are pretty good conditions for security vulnerabilities. What kind of bounty would Microsoft pay if you could get access to the complete source code for Windows? $100,000? [1]

I second syncthing. It's been gloriously reliable on Linux, macOS, and Windows, even while pumping terabytes through it.
1) you are right. There is no simple solution, One good policy would be for a first step, the free version of DASH to support only documentation for libraries with GPL license.

2) I do have a serious problem with their business model. Reselling their app after new version. I don't like that business model.
What kind of support?

All I've heard is that they take free labor and add their brand to it so they can charge to distribute it.
I can believe that.

My point is, shouldn't articles define or at least give lines to definitions for terms?

Apparently Google has discovered that their usual keyword/phrase search of Web pages should be set aside when a search is really for some jargon or and acronym and to do a special search, just for definitions, for such terms. So, if Google understands the crucial importance of unwinding jargon and acronyms, the rest of us in computing can also.
I actually did read the fine article afterwards and noticed that. Nice job, in fact this was one of the few HN submissions that drew me to both the comments and the article!
xsv appeares in comparisons on the author's tsv-utils-dlang repo: https://github.com/eBay/tsv-utils-dlang/blob/master/docs/Per...
We don't want to have discussions about non-free software on the project channels, because they really are off-topic. We won't do anything to sabotage third-party repositories (no matter what they might contain); in fact, we're working on implementing mechanisms to make it easier to load software from third-party channels.

But as a project following the Free System Distribution Guidelines (GNU FSDG) we will not recommend third-party channels providing proprietory software, nor would we want our project's communication channels (mailing list, IRC, etc) to be used to steer users to channels that provide non-free software.
For the most successful jobs I've had, they just looked at my resume and asked some general questions about prior work.

I've also had several positions where I passed whiteboard hazings. Those didn't go as well. My theory is that selecting strongly for code jam types may correlate with not selecting carefully for people who work well together.
They should leave the Windows where you put them, nothing more nothing less.
Pettis assumes, without justification, that the assets owned by the Government of China would be more productive in private hands, and thus calls for the government "to begin to sell off government assets". That's an ideological position. The privatization experience of the USSR indicates otherwise.

China's government debt situation isn't bad.[1] Government debt / GDP is less than half that of the US. Japan is much worse off, with the world's highest Government debt to GDP ratio.

What's really likely to hit China is the same thing that's hitting the rest of the developed world - it just doesn't take all that many people to make all the stuff. This is a killer for an export economy. This hit in Japan 20 years ago, in the US 10 years ago, and is starting to hit in China.

The biggest suggestion of trouble is that so many wealthy Chinese are trying hard to get assets out of the country. This fuels the Vancouver and London real estate booms, and in a lesser way, Bitcoin.

Lots of Charlie Munger type language in this comment.
It's considered one of their assets and therefore has a value during liquidation. But since it's unlikely that anyone else could do anything with it, the value is probably close to zero.

Realistically, you could probably buy it but the people who wrote it would be long gone and probably uninterested in helping you bring it back online.
If they have a ready made query that shows you exactly what is required and know exactly what they need to do with the result (in this case, send it out in an email)... and if it takes 1 month, they just need a better engineer.

Very nice work. A couple of questions.

If I create a search bubble with my take on "everything tennis", will the contents of that bubble be available in your global web search when someone searches for tennis related concepts?

Can bubbles be composed of content not on the web?

I think if you made your site look less like a social platform and more like a cloud tool, businesses might become more interested.

Given the difference of ~130 vs ~1600 in actual deaths, I'm naively assuming that staying at home would not have increased radiation exposure tenfold.

(There are ways to limit radiation exposure even if you're in the middle of a lightly contaminated region. I think delivering clean food would have been easier than trying to accommodate 300k additional refugees after tsunami.)
Yeah, and that's great. Most companies wouldn't do that. Most companies would just not do anything to help support Linux at all.

Logitech would get a much bigger warm fuzzy if they did this work themselves, but this is the next best thing.

I'd say homeworks are good. In a mix. In fact the process should be a mix. It's hard to get it right.

You can find out if they copied the homework. There should always be a follow up talk about it. They should be able to explain the details.

Ask them to add some functionality on spot. They have working code they should be familiar with and you can work with that. You want to test their approach more than anything.

Bug fixing is hard to prepare right. If you have a clear cut position, that would eliminate part of bullet one.

I'd argue that they should not be asked to find the bug. Only to fix it.

It does not have to be the same bug. I'd argue for a pool they can pick from.

You should be testing how they approach the problem and how they go about solving it. Heck you can debug and outline a fix for something you can't really code yourself, I know I did.

Pairing with someone from the team they'd work in could also provide some insight into the dynamic.

I agree there is no cookie cutter way for homework and bugs. That's why they need to be in a mix, well prepared and supervised.
This is a bit of an exaggeration, which has frequently been de-bunked. In brief, if you didn't recently cross a border, then immigration officials have no special powers within this zone.

There is, however, a "functional equivalent" of the border in every international airport that grants ICE these powers over arriving citizens (which makes sense).

It's one of the points of this article that you don't need those two modes with D. Scripting and custom code in the same language is possible but it's still an alien concept.
Glaciers carved the landscape there, which is why it's called "Glacier National Park". Sad the glaciers are melting so quickly, but they've been melting for thousands of years.
>It's not clear who is behind the spreadsheet, but the authors claim it was compiled "by several people of color." I reached out for a comment and received this response: "Sorry, we are not taking media inquiries."

Why give some random angry people with a google spreadsheet attention, that's pretty much giving them what they want isn't it?
Isn't this what we call "muscle memory"? To regard this as an "extended brain" looks a bit like sensationalism to me. My keyboard and my shortcut-utility aren't part of my extended brain, but highly productivity-enhancing tools, as is the web to the spider.
The Machine Intelligence Behind Gboard
"It's now a Green Glob, a big industry, all based on US Federal money from scaring the taxpayers."

You're willing to credulously state this kind of wild conspiracy theory -- as if a "Green Glob" of deceptive scientists is a simple explanation for everything we observe -- CO2, glaciers, temperatures, ocean changes -- but also willing to ignore the very solid science in, for example, the IPCC AR5 report? And to spend many paragraphs denouncing an NYT story for being the kind of fluffy stuff ("polar bears") that you can't be bothered to take seriously?

The serious stuff is out there if you cared to look.
As for government debt, it really depends on if you include SOE debt or not. So SOEs are technically companies owned by the state, but have implicit backing from the government that they won't go bankrupt, giving them access to easy credit from the biggest banks (also often state owned....).

Without the perception that moral hazard exists, this credit binge is really dangerous.

Groupon is a great counter to consider in terms of the product-market fit theory. Few companies have ever had the product-market that Groupon had "Groupon is so effective that Mason claims Groupon now has 35,000 companies clamoring to be on its roster. Only one in eight applicants makes the cut." [0]

Instead a better model is to think about having a great product in a great market has phase 1. But if the company can't create a moat it still dies. "One problem with the Groupon model: Anyone can replicate it. More than 200 copycat sites have sprung up in the U.S., with another 500 overseas, including 100 in China."[0]

Laziness never prevented high-performance array libraries like Vector being implemented. GHC Haskell also now has a module-level pragma that turns on strict-by-default.
Python typically doesn't implement any high-performance primitives anyway, it simply delegates to C/Fortran. Something Haskell could do equally well.

"To move from the abstract to something specific, I will assume, as occurred in 2009-10 as a consequence of the global crisis, that for reasons external to China there is a sharp contraction in its current account surplus, mainly caused by a sharp fall in exports....." (he then goes on to describe the repercussions that match his model.)

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what he's saying, but isn't what he describes true of any export-driven economy? And, doesn't it ignore the fact that a large portion of the country is still pre-industrial and is easy pickings for GDP growth? It should be not terribly difficult to grow GDP via moving these people to an industrial standard of living based on domestic consumption, albeit not nearly as easily as in an export-driven economy where your customers are holding your hand along the path. And, does it not also ignore the possibility of moving up the value chain as their technological prowess increases? China is producing some pretty sophisticated technology on their own these days, and they have no shortage of engineers (although the quality may not be world class, I have no idea).

This isn't to say his theory is wrong, it just doesn't seem terribly useful. But I think I must be missing something?

As the joke goes, Go assumes all your code lives in one place controlled by a harmonious organization. Rust assumes your dependencies are trying to kill you. This says a lot about the people who came up with each one.
Ghost cities are weird: first they talk about the ghost cities, then others say the ghost cities are filling up. If you actually visit, say, Ordos New Town, you'll really get that, no, those ghost cities really exist.

Some will fill up, like Pudong did, I get Tianjin's new financial district will also. But those in areas with little economic hope in the near term (Ordos and dying coal), they really aren't going to happen before the buildings become substantially rundown (given Chinese concrete overbuilding to make use of unskilled migrant labor, these buildings require a lot of maintenance and will look decrepit sooner rather than later).
Please enlighten us as to how your non-mainstream model is superior. The burden of proof is on you.

That is similar to have e.g. gold coins as currency. That is inefficient because it is hard to create enough of the currency for the economy to function optimally. It is also quite expensive.

Cloud hosting allows a startup to scale quickly. This is very important to seize opportunities as they arise without having to wait for physical servers to be shipped into the data center. OTOH, last time I looked at their source code, it didn't seem like they were making a serious effort towards efficient data access patterns. This can get very expensive on a cloud DB service.

Anyways, if monthly costs of a little bit more than $6000 are enough to sink the ship, then the whole thing isn't financially viable. Sooner or later you have to pay people to maintain the whole thing, and that is going to be a lot more expensive.

Congress could technically issue a new law, but otherwise the president can't interfere beyond his ability to nominate replacements. What china really lacks is this separation of power, which is seen as a western imperialistic concept unsuited to china like rule of law via an independent judiciary.
In related news, it looks like Unreal Engine just today came out with an update for "HTML5 Support for WebAssembly and WebGL 2". This seems huge as there are a lot of games written with the Unreal Engine I'd love to see come to the web.

Actually I misunderstood and thought the server was Linux.

You could of course use nc as the client too, but it would be an additional install on Windows. [0]

And nc wouldn't help if the firewall was stateful and actually expected to see HTTPS traffic on port 443, so I do see their logic of putting an actual webserver there.

But without sufficient detail, it does seem at first glance to be overkill ;-)

Good point. If you think about it, where does Moody's, which at the end of the day is just a bunch of individual bureaucrats, many of which are likely writing the story they are told to write, get the idea that they have the expertise to second guess the architects of the largest, most complex (financially, culturally, psychologically, etc, etc, etc) transformation the world has ever witnessed?

Sorry, but until I see strong evidence to suggest otherwise, I'm going to assume the Chinese government knows better of how to grow an economy than its international critics.
