I think a lot of this comes from a lack of understanding that innovation doesn't have to be centered around a locale.

There are plenty of business in the midwest doing ho-hum widget making as there are in all parts of the world. There are also plenty of businesses trying to break into something and be the next "X"; I've worked at a few of them. They're great with their Startup mentality and you'd think you were on the set of HBO's Silicon Valley if you didn't look out the window and see a Midwestern Storm System.

However, I think the Midwestern Mentality will still remain here, which is what also might hold it back from becoming the Next Silicon Valley (but you'll read articles countering this). We're very family-oriented and generally nice, and that permeates a bit into the "move fast and break things" ideas that are so abundant and (sometimes) wasteful.

There's plenty of top developer talent (in their prime) who choose to remain here for the competitive salaries and affordable home costs and lifestyle.

It's a little bit of a badge of honor to deny interview requests with The Big Disrupters simply because you know that the salary they offer (with few exceptions) can't possibly give you the same quality of life as it does here.

Homes specifically: we're talking comps at 2x+ at a salary negotiation that doesn't touch that.
I run a 10 disk raidz2 array on a box with 4G RAM. If I'm running many other things on that box, memory gets very tight, and it swaps occasionally too. I've not seen kernel pauses on FS accesses though.
That would a Trump joke. He doesn't seem to be offended by penis size jokes, but seems oddly sensitive about jokes regarding the size of his (tiny) hands.

I'm @mxschumacher on the platform and it took me three years to "get Twitter", but now I love it.

Went from following 1500 to only 400. Almost no politics now and high granularity & outstanding signal to noise ratio. An insight-machine that I would not want to miss.

Selection criteria I use:
- don't pay too much attention to profile, better to check actual tweets. Plenty of smart/impressive sounding tech/science people who talk about their kids, sports and politics all day
- sane tweet frequency: If they've tweeted 20k times, there's a good chance it is just noise/spam
- select people who follow few people, anything above 2k is suspicious ("I'll follow you so you follow me")

Here's the list of people I follow - the further down you go, the longer they have survived my aggressive filtering process (another design flaw: it takes minutes of scrolling to get to the good stuff):

So for your JS example, why would you attempt to reach them on Twitter when something like Github would be so much better? Create an issue on Github, point to the exact line of code that is a problem and wait for a response?

How do you ask a meaningful question about source code / software development in 140 characters? How do you get a meaningful response in 140 characters?
Not the OP but, I use a $6 one without a button that simply activates on insert. Unfortunately the company that sold them is more interested in bulk sales and the stopped selling individual units. I plan to eventually replace it with the Feitian ePass NFC FIDO U2F Security Key, which is still $17 but includes NFC which I could use with my android phone. for that functionality from Yubi you would need the $50 Yubikey Neo.

Typically it's loaded during the boot process. On Linux, see the binary blobs in /usr/lib/firmware or: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/lin...

Additionally, it's still a great choice to back any fancy modern front end tool. API mode and/or Webpacker.

I'd love for bootcamps to stop teaching Rails so the rest of us can start raising the bar again.
It is unfortunate but the reality is that H1B laws are very complex just like most US visas. You already know you cannot work for that company. So what is the point in just setting up a company ?

If you want to do your pet project, why not just build the project just as your own project. Don't work on it as a business including doing things like sales,marketing etc until you get the green card. What is the issue with that ?

If you are questioned about this company while entering the US from outside, you could get yourself into trouble. It is very hard to convince the immigration officials that you have a company but you don't work for it. So technically it is legal to create a company while on H1B but in practice, you are opening yourself to unnecessary scrutiny.

It sucks but that is the truth. Accept it, get the green card and then work on your company.
I don't, but the when exceptions become the norm it makes debugging much more difficult. I'm not an expert on the subject, but it seems to have a negative impact on performance as well. And in the case of a simple web app, it just shouldn't be necessary. Maybe it makes sense for Spring to do it, but that would indicate that it's more complex than it needs to be.

Why should I even care about their data model as a costumer? If any other seller would pull a trick like this: "sorry, my supplier provided counterfeit items - I have nothing to do with it", they would be f-cked anyway. If Amazon stores, Amazon sells, Amazon ships then Amazon is responsible. Try to order some counterfeit iPhones from China and sell them on local market. When authorities come, give them an excuse: "look, it's an Apple logo on it and supplier told it's really iPhone, it's not my fault this item is counterfeit" and tell us how it went.
> A person who pre-orders something isn't investing in the company, they are buying a product being promised.

I agree with this. I always saw pre-orders as a way to reserve your "spot" for a physical object. My first encounter with pre-orders was video games, before platforms like Steam where physical copies of a game aren't limited.

The problem with pre-ordering now is that it's becoming a method of funding incomplete products, with the promise of a finished product. It involves the consumer in the production phase of a project, shifting the risk of "it didn't work out" from the investors to the consumers. And like you mentioned,

> An investor gets a stake of the company. An investor (of certain worth) has a say in what is going on. ... A customer doesn't, they speak only with their desire to buy whatever product is being pitching.

But, at the same time, it looks like they acquired a nice chunk of money ($14m in capital) only after they released their video. Would it have been possible to finish their product, advertise, and start shipping without that $14m, and however much they received from pre-orders? I can't say. To me, it seems like they started advertising to the public and accepting pre-orders before an actual product was ready for the mass market; but if they were running low on funding at the time, it may have been their only option to secure funds. (Take that with a grain of salt; I know next to nothing about business + entrepreneurship)
>Although I don't understand the US's involvement in this -- a man breaking the rules is being put to justice, and I'm very glad.

This is a terrifying comment.

Not much different than a Thai person saying the same about a German rotting in their jail because he offended their king on Twitter. "Justice!"
Well, I would argue the web is a detriment to the web. Apple will never prioritise dev experience to the... detriment of user experience, no matter how many devs tears are shed. The author is arguing for better web developer experience, from what I read.
I use the Facebook site added to my homescreen rather than a native app. Uses way less space & does everything I want Facebook to be able to do.

I don't want push notifications from every site, but in this case it's valuable.

Twitter can embrace video, which is a new format, without the need to alter their foundation, the text fragment feature.

No you don't. It's per "team". Assuming that's what you meant: how many teams do you honestly use? Sure, it's not ideal for a bunch of little communities. As you said, Discord is good for that.

For a business, I haven't seen anything that even compares with Slack. I'm not sure what you consider a "normal user" (I'd argue that there is no such thing). If you mean non-technical users, then there are plenty of non-technical users in a business that need to communicate. For most businesses, they outnumber the technical people and rely on good communication tools more.

For work, Discord would be terrible for me since I can't have more than one username (to my knowledge). I want to keep my personal chats/username/status separate from my work ones.

Different people need different solutions.

BTW I'm focusing in on the business use case as that seems to be who Slack targets. They are trying to sell to people that have used Skype and Lync (or whatever they are calling it this week) and hated it.

EDIT: also, building a decent chat app is a very difficult problem. I imagine they will use that money to maintain the various clients they have and try to keep adding communication features (as they have been doing).
ISPs are not supporting multicast over the public internet.
At this point (and historically for many years), it seems like there is no circumstance upon which an IBM salesperson or any of their management (right to the top) would ever say No to receiving more money.
It should show popularity or trading volume. Most of these coins are quite useless, practically speaking.
Disable it.

It's a feature some people like and use. I like getting notifications from some services I use without needing to keep a browser window open on that page to get notified. And I like not having to download and install yet another flipping app to get that feature.
Oracle can't change the license alone. While Oracle is the majority copyright holder, some parts are copyrighted by other people and/or organisations. In fact, this was one of the building principles of the CDDL license.

This ZFS on Linux project mentioned in the article doesn't use the current Oracle ZFS code (which is proprietary), but rather the OpenZFS code which has had very significant changes that happened post-Oracle fork by parties other than Oracle.
So many people want to do this. It's generally a really bad idea.
>Twitter is so disappointingly annoying to use.

Amen to that. I still don't fully get the logic of what Twitter decides to display and what to hide when I click a multi-tweet reply or something. Connected tweets (which happen so often that I feel like the 140 char limit is more hindering than helpful) run bottom-up in the time line. You can't maximize embedded youtube videos. Why? When you click an image and then "back" in a long scroll, it sends you back to the start of the page. I also have to click an image like three times to get to the source. I don't get how those split-views of multiple images are supposed to work, they always open a random one. An annoying delay/stutter whenever you scroll down because of how goddamn infinite scroll loads images. No proper search, but I'm already getting used to that in modern websites. "Just google it", right?

EDIT: I just checked and a few of these things have been changed. Am I nuts or did they have differently sized fonts for tweets at one point and reverted that by now?
There is that, and then there are performance intensive apps, and everything in between.

Apple is ensuring that most of its ecosystem is fast and pleasant.
I feel like it might be fun (though ultimately utterly utterly worthless) to make a kind of 'best guess' one. I have genuinely no idea where one would start...
Yes, of course. What I'm trying to explain is why it doesn't make sense to expect Amazon to completely expunge all references to a given Product simply because one Seller has been shown to offer counterfeit instances of it.
In case of DCCP it can be implemented over UDP utilising existing firewall support for UDP traffic.
I find it weird to report on this like it's a race or competition. His net worth bump right now is entirely due to rash market speculation and the recent tech bubble. When the crash comes (and it will), AMZN could easily be down to $500 in a week, and he'll just be insanely rich again.
Sorry, I mean the next time around, e.g if you are sitting on a couple of exploits.
250k is like the salary of a random manager, for me it really puts into perspective the strong commitment to security when they offer 15k (a monthly paycheck) for a rce in Edge potentially affecting millions of computers. Nevermind the fact finders are at the mercy of MS who can award whatever they want or simply claim it was found internally.

What is preventing them bundling the old out of date Flash with Chromium?

Why even bother worrying about Chromium? People who are going to want the legacy Flash stuff are running Windows and there isn't even Windows build of Chromium. How come people on HN always come up with some ridiculous edge case that has zero baring on reality.
I reboot once a month, so that it reboots at all.

Despite using Arch Linux, and weekly "upgrade everything".

I know it isn't everyone's experience, but I was exceedingly choosey about the hardware that went into my machine, so that I could do this.

The only problem I've had in the last two years, was an incompatibility between ocaml and fish shell, which eliminated my PATH. Unfortunate, but an issue on the ocaml side of things. A big problem, for certain, but two years of bleeding edge updates, and that's it.

Politics is kind of ruining it. As is the fallout from politics - harassment. You can never be sure whether saying something and getting visibility is going to result in being quote-retweeted by a hostile party sending their followers to have a go at you.

Ask HN: Nowadays, is forum service useless for GitHub?
I built a forum service for GitHub (https://gitq.com) and launched last week, but have received few feedback so far.

So I'm wondering is forum service useless for GitHub? Do people prefer to use chat service like slack/gitter rather than forum?

Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.
I think that's an old description from before those features were in the app
"Is the end of Ruby on Rails nigh? Everything seems to point that way."

As soon as I read that, I just stopped. I know the point of this article is to get a big reaction out of the dev community. I'm quite happy with my Rails back-end and React front-end, thank you! Stable, tons of community support, quite fast for my needs.

> A lot of rich people have decided the best thing for them to do is get as much money as they can and leave it to a worthy cause after they die.

Yeah I don't know about that. The majority of rich people decide what they want to do is make as much money as possible and distribute it to family members. It's there money so obviously they have the right to do just that.

I have a lot of respect for Bill Gates in that he has chosen to be as effective with his money as possible in positively impacting the world. I believe he has committed to giving away 99% (or 99.9%?) of his money to noble causes before he passes. As well as inspiring others to make similar pledges.

But crucially not intent to commit treason. Gross negligence, sure (this she also admitted to). And I agree that she - and several others - ought to be punished much harder. But being naïve and incompetent (basically "yeah this is a problem but IBM can't provide people with security clearance yet, it takes too much time, and we're too far into the process and if we stop now many things - such as giving out driver's licenses and checking them - won't work for a while")... is, again, not treason.

Just like involuntary manslaughter is not murder, and so on.

I do understand what you mean, I just don't understand how Amazon avoids responsibility for not filtering their suppliers whereas all other retailers are enforced to that and face hefty fines for failing to do so. There's no use of removing one individual seller when 10 comes in its place instantly.
You won't have to use Flash. Browsers are dropping support for Flash. Its for the sake of archiving and learning about its code base. Just because its open sourced doesnt mean the web is going to return to 2001.

Think about it this way: as a linux user, wouldnt it be a great thing for humanity if Windows XP was open sourced? You wouldnt have to use it. No one would have to use it. But that knowledge and history would be unlocked instead of hidden away. Someone in the future would be able to learn from it or modify it to get a really old obscure program to run. The possibilities are endless.

"The web" is a broad concept, but we should break it down to two distinct things: websites and web apps.

Yes it is. The laws were legitimately passed; agree or not, citizens have a duty to follow them, or else protest them directly if they find them onerous enough.
I'd like to point out that getting SIP through firewalls is a massive headache even today. If you're embedding connection information into a control channel, then the firewall needs to do DPI to figure out what is a valid communication stream vs. some attacker. And then people start encrypting the control channel and it's game over unless you can hook your firewall up to whatever the controlling software is or your firewall is super fancy and can MITM the control channel traffic because you've installed the cert chain on the firewall.

Apple knew this wasn't true. They knew there was an public native SDK on the roadmap because web technologies didn't cut it.

The Stocks and Weather app were originally HTML/CSS/JS apps just like Dashboard widgets (note Steve Jobs actually describing these apps on stage as 'widgets'), but the performance just wasn't there so they got reimplented using native apis.
