Any metric you put on a graph for all to see needs to be something with a direct impact on the company. So happy customers yes, products/features/commits shipped, no.

Developer performance can not be measured quantitatively. It's okay for a manager to look at these things, but when they go to an underperfoming employee the story always has to be qualitative and personal about the specific work they are doing.

It's hard enough to create a culture where everyone is focused on the success of the business without reducing people's work to easily gamed metrics. If you do that, you tacitly send a message that the true quality of their work doesn't matter and then you've shot yourself in the foot big time.

I don't think the formality has anything to do with the quality of software; I think it has more to do with VC-funded companies operating lean, and HR is overhead.

One advantage of e-cigs is that people can lower the nicotine in e-cigs over six months to a year, and eventually even quit. I guess they could theoretically do this with cigarettes, too, but nobody actually does that. Also it may help that you can still smoke for a while on 0% nicotine, just to replicate the action of smoking, but without any nicotine. But at that point you should already be able to quit completely.
I do agree with that; "git reset --hard" should stash the changes in the working copy somewhere. I'm sure you'd agree, though, that backing up your repository is not going to protect you from "git reset --hard" unless what you're really doing is backing up the working copy, and if that's what you're doing, there's a built in feature to do that in git called "git commit". =)

You need money to sue. Unless the company is worth millions it would be financially irresponsible to sue over something that has no value.
> you actually need to add unstable repos on most distris to use the 'stack deploy' option. quite a few are still <12

Same with k8s - package revisions are at the mercy of distro maintainers. However, I have found that docker is far more updated that k8s.

BTW Docker Swarm is fairly well tested - but I think it is called Docker Enterprise Edition in its well tested form.

There might be edge cases where k8s is better than docker swarm.. however I personally believe in 90% of startuppy deployment usecases are worth not fighting ingresses for.
What Startups and VCs Can Learn from Indiana Jones
Organizations are generally well acquainted with that sort of "work tax", and the results are fairly well characterized and understood and can be worked around. (Move closer to employees, open a branch office, promote off-peak working hours, transit subsidies).

Remote work is a very recent phenomenon and as such, runs into a completely different set of problems that haven't been as thoroughly solved as a co-located working environment.

It's like picking PostGres/Mysql over Cassandra/Mongo. Sure, both have problems, but the traditional SQL solutions are stable and the problems have known workarounds. With NoSQL solutions, you might be one of the first people who are doing that particular use case, and you'll have to pioneer your own solution, at the expense of the company's business plan/profit.

They can use a virtual desktop sized as screen itself, and position windows that way.
That's a very lopsided view. Offices also come with their own hangups. It's a matter of weighing the pros and cons and then deciding. Also, to be fair, sometimes there are a lot of imaginary cons that people think will happen when they go remote, but in reality, they don't happen. So it's also worth for companies to try both and see(though this might be a stretch, I admit).

Regular cigarettes are much stinkier, burn oxygen and POLLUTE like crazy, as butts are not biodegradable.

The use of E-cigarettes should be encouraged as a middle-ground to cure (yes cure, addiction is a disorder) those who still smoke.

I wondered about that too. A few years ago I mentioned how much my son loved the Beatles song "Hello, Hello" as proof of how well that music aged. He was like, yeah, it's in that Target commercial. Made me rethink things a bit. That said I guess it's in the commercial because it aged so well.

But I do agree that the internet has effectively quite reduced, if not eliminated, the "generation gap" my parents and my peers grew up with in the 60's to the 80's...

Discouraging smokers from moving to e-cigs is a bad idea, but discouraging non-smokers is a great idea. It's a tough tradeoff, and I don't think the analogy to sex ed is really a good one. Virtually everyone has sex, so teaching abstinence is foolish. But most people don't smoke, so saying "don't smoke, not even e-cigs" is a good thing for that segment of the population.

Ideally, you'd get all the addicts to move to e-cigs, and everybody else to not use either one. Not that I have any brilliant ideas how to accomplish that.
Or maybe it's the developer who needs to fix his editor. Proper editor should convert tabs into spaces or vise versa and not create complications for everyone else.
Are there statistics or studies on how much one average person consumes from an e-cigarette compared to a regular cigarette?
Yeah, for as much as people hate on being corporate, it really does keep a lid on a lot of the bad behavior you see at startups that gets swept under the table because of the informal nature of record keeping and decision making.

Like most things in life, this is a situation best handled with a frank conversation.
Occasional long distance travel in a Tesla, using the superchargers, is a fine thing. A supercharger stop is generally 15-25 minutes, not an hour -- charging is fastest if you charge only enough to get to the next one. And they're conveniently placed on major travel routes.

So, basically, your complaints are all things that most Tesla owners don't complain about. Almost every discussion about electric cars features a subthread with the same back and forth about these same topics. No sign of any learning.

Ah well.

> In my personal perception the 80s are still just 10 years ago

I think it's got less to do with any world events and more to do with the fact that you reached adulthood around then. The mid-80s were about 10 years before you graduated. The 90s started 10 years before I graduated, so that's my "10 years ago" point. Meanwhile the people born right after I graduated are about to reach adulthood, which feels like an impossible reality.
It seems a simple solution would be for the phone company to send a confirmation SMS or automated voice call to confirm number porting or any other major action. Is there a reason they don't do this? It seems like a good balance between convenience and security.

> Sometimes it feels like we're drowning in media, and I'm not sure the trade-off of being able to watch Hogan's Heroes or whatever at a moment's notice rather than waiting for a rerun is entirely worth centering our lives on screens and speakers so completely.

Yeah, this is part of the driving force behind the resurgence of vinyl, cassettes, VHS, etc. Scarcity and physical presence are great ways to imbue a sense of meaning into media. This is something I have difficulty expressing to my older colleagues (I'm in my early 20s, many I work with are in their 40s or older).

"We" millennials no longer see a vinyl record as a means to the end of producing audio, the medium itself supposes to provide intrinsic value: the idea of "fidelity" has disappeared (remember "Hi-Fi"?) and has instead been replaced with some idea of "maximizing the experience" of engaging with the media.

The concept of "fidelity," is, in a sense, nonsensical in the world of fully electronic music (in the realm of movies, most audiences already have some sense that movies are inauthentic/there is no comparable "live" experience, so perhaps this discussion does not extend into that domain. That said, old VHS tapes are a fun source of obscure video footage, and digital video can still be somewhat hard to track down!). The word "fidelity" itself means (in my own words) "qualitative closeness of a reproduction to some original source" and what is the "source" for something produced completely in a studio, often without any acoustic instruments present whatsoever?

In the world of DJs and FL Studio or Ableton, many instead deal with some idea of "emotional fidelity" rather than "acoustic fidelity": how closely and intensely can we personally experience the (intended?) aesthetic/artistic qualities of a work? It is a meaningfully different experience to listening to one of my favorite disco records on vinyl (a record that, for all I know, buying secondhand in NYC, may have been played at the Paradise Garage) vs on YouTube.

This reminds me of the idea of "Hyperreality" in Baudrillard's "Simulacra and Simulation" -- music with its own internal aesthetic and emotional world, its own language, its own norms. Almost no relationship to some sort of physical reality (guitars, drums, etc) other than the fact that we must experience sound via acoustic waves.

> We've gained a lot, but more than a little's been lost

True. After a while you wonder what's the point of all these intense emotional experiences, does it really satisfy any of our needs as human beings? Does it bring us any closer together? Just because something feels more meaningful, does that actually make it more meaningful? There will be some interesting reflections on this period of digital abundance in about 20 years.
Go watch any music video from 2000 to 2005, there definitely is a style of the time, that is distinguishable from the style of today.

Are you saying that PG&E's EV-A rate is "lowering" your rates?

I think that's only true from 11pm-7AM, which obviously is good if you're charging an EV, but it compensates by raising your daytime rates, which isn't a good deal for most people with more traditional domestic electric workloads.

So I wouldn't exactly interpret this as a straightforward "lower your rates". Or am I missing something?
Come on. Context matters. The title says "exclusive carrier."
The preferred usage (I'm told) is that man/woman is used for gender and male/female is used for sex. Gender is largely limited to humans, but humans also have a biological sex that is both difficult to ascertain in some cases and also completely irrelevant to most discussions around the workplace.

This also leaves open that there is room for more genders while leaving sex as a somewhat resolved issue.
Someone should write a comprehensive guide on how to protect your accounts while preventing yourself from being locked out of said accounts.

Seems like some combination of the following:

* using Google Voice for all account recovery situations that require a phone number

* Calling your cell phone provider to have a note that states do not allow for number porting

* Use hardware 2fa tokens. Have two setup, one as a backup in case you lose one.

* Keep a copy of your recovery codes somewhere accessible

* Probably have a safety deposit box with your backup 2fa token and recovery codes stored.

* Primary email provider should use a hardware token and not have sms recovery

* Use unique passwords everywhere and use a password manager
This is all fine, but there are side-effects.

If you only work a minimum number of hours within your field, you are unlikely to emerge as one of the peak achievers or thought leaders in your field. That's just because you learn more from experience, and working more hours gives you more experience.

You can extrapolate from there what this means for companies and individuals.

I am not at all saying that companies should ask people to work long hours. (I run a software company, and we are super-lax about hours, people showing up at the office, etc). But I am saying that if an individual wants to be an expert in a particular field, that person should probably work a lot (and probably wants to work a lot anyway, due to interest in the subject). This doesn't necessarily have to be at the company; it could be at home, on personal projects, whatever. But the deeper and more challenging the project is, the better you learn, and it's easier to have one project that is deep and challenging than somehow to have two in parallel. And if only one is deep and challenging, then you are sort of idling with half your time. So there are basically two paths to this kind of deep work: work for a company, make sure you get a project that's really good, and then work hard on it; or go do your own thing, make sure you have enough money somehow, and work hard on what interests you.

This also means that "work-life balance" is not a thing for experts the way it is for normal people. But that's fine, because for these kinds of experts their work is a serious part of their life and the two things are inseparable.

Of course if you don't feel this way about what you're working on, that it is a serious part of your life, then this strategy doesn't make sense; and I would not encourage people who don't feel this way (who are the majority of the population) to work that hard. I am just pointing out that there are some of us for whom a different life strategy is best.

Co-founding a startup (or with multiple partners) is a very personal thing. People get emotional about it and there's almost always someone working harder, which causes discontent to grow over time. Eventually, you have to split or the party who provided more substance feels cheated. To make things worse, the value is often very subjective.

There's no easy way to handle this. It sounds like you are going to move on without him so just tell him that, offer him a small piece of the business and take the rest. If he doesn't want to cooperate, you can always just start a new entity and continue on your own.

Co-founder choice is the hardest and most impactful choice a startup can have. At a minimum, I try to craft an MOU that states what each person's responsibilities are, and that they contribute meaningfully over a 3 year vesting period. That ensures if either partner drops out, they transfer the equity to the partner continuing forward. That said, because of aforementioned reasons, even that is a mine-field.
This is called the Dead Sea Effect:

My theory is based on the Internet.

First, people are now exposed to vastly more information that in 80s or 90s. This forges the diversity in taste and segregation of pop culture.

Second, trends come and go at faster cycle than before. If something on Youtube goes viral, this could be in pop culture for weeks and then vanished in the shadow of another fad.
OP is pursuing this because he expects the company to have value someday, which means the potential for a lawsuit is a problem.
That's the goal for me too: travel, work, save, and serve all at once.
I've considered that this is true as well, but since I am extremely unfamiliar with pop music since the early 90s, I assumed that could also be the case as well.

On the other hand, if you were to play me an unfamiliar song from about 1965 to about 1980, I can, with pretty good accuracy, narrow down its release to within a year or two just by its sound. It's a game I like to play with the SiriusXM radio channel.

There's no doubt that pop music has become a lot more homogenized in the past couple decades, and the technological advances that drastically alter the sound of music are becoming fewer and fewer. Has there really been anything other than (the scourge of) Autotune that's really affected the sound of music in the past 20 years? The only other thing I can think of is digital sampling, which hit like a tidal wave around 1983-4.

However, I must vehemently disagree that you wouldn't immediately recognize something from the 80s. The sounds and styles of music in the 80s were much more distinct. Even my kids, who were born in the 90s, can immediately recognize song from the 80s by their sound.
Which is not surprising is it. Canada is not the US even if the people speak the same language. You cant really talk about equivalent work if the settings are different for people and entire industries.
The salaries for the US also look weird to me.

Canadian new grads tend towards $60-70k with larger American companies paying closer to $80-90k in the same location. My sampling is heavily biased towards Ontario. I expect Greater Vancouver to be similar but perhaps the rest of Western Canada, along with Quebec and the maritimes are dragging the average down.

It takes you through the basic compound exercises and talks about some important concepts in weight training, highly recommend it.

I worked on this basic program that requires you to go to the gym 3 times a week and basic linear progression got me up to a 400lbs squat for reps at the age of 28. It took about 18 months to get there.

My biggest regret is that I stopped going to the gym, if you do start, please keep going. It's better to go and do something easy than to undo the habit.
> I personally feel that i get close to double the work done when I work from home.

Well, it doesn't matter if you get twice the work done, if it doesn't advance the team twice as much.

If you're working completely independently, sure, work from home. Contractors have far more leeway than salaried employees in that regard.

If you're working remotely but as an integral part of the team, it doesn't matter as much that you're individually getting twice the amount of work done, if it doesn't dovetail with team objectives. Without constant communication, which is facilitated by in-person interactions and communication, the team might actually be working forwards more slowly.

It doesn't matter if you're coding two features instead of one in the same amount of time, if the two features never hit production and the one feature does.
Maybe. But can see how it would affect it: informality leads to much more effective communication, within-team but especially across-team, and that removes a huge class of the mistakes that cause businesses to fail. Even just reducing the barrier for people at the bottom to tell people at the top when something's completely broken makes a huge difference to the organization's effectiveness.
The nitty gritty details are on this readthesource.io podcast: https://youtu.be/70dn1oZQFCk (watch on 2X speed).

Each process does concurrency control and then has a centralized in-memory cache for the values (like what a lot of other in-memory databases do). So when `gun.val(cb)` is called, prototype context holds its value and is able to do an immediate read - without this, JS is so slow that every function call logarithmically decreases your performance (see the previously linked https://youtu.be/BEqH-oZ4UXI ).

That is the advantage of the realtime/push-based model, you can cache most data before it is even read. Even in memory databases, like Redis and others, do this so there is no BS here, but I appreciate you trying to call it out. Additionally, not all in-memory reads are equal - my previous implementation of gun could only do a thousand or so reads/sec despite being cached. And please compare against other in-memory javascript database benchmarks: https://github.com/techfort/LokiJS/wiki/Indexing-and-Query-P... (Joe's work is very good!)

I sincerely wish it was as easy as leaving it up to the JS interpreter ;) but I've unfortunately found JS to be very slow. :P

Hit me up with any other hard questions or if I missed anything. And please keep on trying hard to call out database vendors - I agree, it is extremely important to keep us open and honest. :) Cheers!
