This is a bit of a meta question but I've found that I've almost never learned anything from reading posts like this. I've scanned them over and nodded in agreement, only to make the mistakes I've been warned against and then I finally understand what people were telling me all these years.

Does YC have an approach on how to actually get founders to take advice to heart instead of just understanding at a surface level?
The fact that you felt this was an appropriate comment for Hacker News is shocking.
Also I suggest they refactor the next version of VanillaJS to be less verbose. Perhaps they can get some inspiration from jQuery.
Is this the case for every company doing scrum? I find some benefits in scrum:

1. Having regular scheduled meetings reduces distractions. For example, someone coming along to chat about something while you are in the zone.

2. The important things get discussed with the right people in the room. Decreasing assumptions

I think people tend to forget that the critical thing to get right with agile or whatever methodology you are following is:

1. It is #1 about conversations between people.

2. The conversations between people help you explore the complexity.

3. The conversations help you surface assumptions, get alignment on what needs to be done

4. It is not about 'tracking', but rather encouraging effective communication to converge on the best path forward.

So question:

If you had to design a better agile process, what would that look like?

That probably isn't literally true. If you come up with a solution that is worth more to them than the cost to them, people will find the money.

And if it is literally true, then you look at uncoupling monetization from the end point user. There are a number of ways to do that. Historically, TV was supported by ads. Viewers bought TVs, but broadcast stations did not directly charge viewers for watching TV. Instead, they broadcast for free, but included ads.

It is another layer of complication, but it isn't outright a charity model. Plenty of for profit businesses have a less direct monetization strategy than simply charging the end user for their use of it.
That's because the 'other people' in other people's money want billion dollar exits. you can pretty much use all this advice for a local niche market, just use your own money or friends or family's.
Workaround: download the photos to your local storage and create a new album with them, you can then sort them correctly by date taken. Can delete the original and reshare if others want access to the photos in chronologically taken order.

> reimpose and reinforce campaign finance restrictions and sever the direct financial ties between our big corporations and the politicians who serve them.

I don't disagree, but it seems to me that it is only possible to legislate such a thing when the problem such legislation would solve doesn't exist.

I tend to prefer even less likely solutions, such as term limits, or diffusion and decentralization of one or both of the legislative bodies, but these solutions run up against the same problem as campaign finance reform - the people with the power to enact the change are the ones who benefit most from the status quo.
Every leadership group will devolve into something like this if it's members aren't moderated and if there is no clear hierarchy.
Seems that there would be quite a bit of historical value to getting everyone to digitize their personal photos and upload them to a shared repository. Has there already been such an effort?

Every OS has this ? I mean, this is literally windows putting ads on the equivalent of the IOS launcher. No OS does that !

I don't really care about the built-in crapware (well, I do, but let's save this for another debate). That the OS actively fights for the user's attention is ridiculous. I don't really mind "ads" for their built-in products. The Edge popup[0] was almost cute, the OneDrive explorer ad[1] was understandable. But this[2] or this[3] ? That's just corporate greed at its finest. Sorry.

If you look around, you can find AM4 platform in prebuilts from some of the biggest PC OEMs. Intel is still the majority of the lineup, of course, but APU systems have given AMD leverage here that they didn't have the last time they had competitive performance. It makes the OEMs offer the platform for an energy efficient/SFF build option, while also giving leeway to do an upgrade down the road.
Yes, that's understandable. To be clear, all config is end-to-end encrypted, so EnvKey's servers cannot see any configuration in plaintext. The native app and the client libraries go to great lengths to avoid trusting the server on anything crypto-related.

That said, a self-hosted version is in the works--the backend is based on Kubernetes has been designed with portability in mind. It won't be a difficult process to set it up on-premises or in a private cloud. For anyone who would be interested in self-hosting, definitely reach out and we can figure out a setup that will work for you: dane@envkey.com

jQuery usually falls back to native methods if the browser supports it. Also build systems can easily remove unused code (webpack + babel-minify does great with ES6 on the whole bundle), and you can even pick and choose the exact components you need from the jQuery npm package.
I pretty much only watch documentaries and American football. That is it. I'm almost sixty. I've watched a lot of documentaries.

The Netflix equivalent would be binge watching, I think. I binge watch subjects. Over the years, Egypt has been a recurring subject.

It should be noted that it is purely for entertainment. I watch documentaries because that is what I enjoy. It is absolutely not a scholastic activity and I make no effort to learn anything from it.

I just really enjoy documentaries. If I learn something, that was incidental and not my goal. Very, very seldom do I take it to the point where I'll do additional research on a topic, contact a person from the documentary, or do a more detailed study of something in the docs.

It's just what I do, I like them.

Probably a more apt 'libertarian utopia' would be an entrepreneur buying land from consenting property owners (Converse to the government forcing people to move and not respecting their property rights via eminent domain), build a road (via a decentralized, competitive bidding process rather than a single point of economic co-option opportunity such as a state) and then charging access to the road (with guards in low-tech community, Toll-payment box in medium tech community, and a Bitcoin Lightning-Network payment channel in a high-tech society.) ;]
I don't know why anyone would cross a border with electronics of any sort in this day and age.

But not having electronics is also grounds for suspicion.
they seem to be saying that high skill workers and owners are getting a net benefit from the additional robots. but, medium skill and low skill workers are seeing some negative wage impacts, but not necessarily additional unemployment.

perhaps more interesting is the background info about the global focus of industrial robotics: it's in Japan (and to a much lesser extent, Germany) -- but not the US.

this reinforces my current belief that robotics startups in the US face a pretty serious uphill battle from day one.

"I think a skull on the desk is not really an option"

How is that not self evident? Are hospitals supposed to just populate their facilities with skull enclosures? How about a funeral home? The receptionist is supposed to put a skull on the desk and think nothing of it?

If you're having trouble understanding why someone may take issue with skull cased computers you should look at your own development; it's not progressing properly.

(Yes I know Intel supplied a non-skull cover; you're missing the point as well.)
Yep, integration with key modules is definitely on the roadmap.
Important to remember that npm is not Node JS, though sadly they are very tightly intertwined.

Sound cool. Could you give a high level view on how does this exactly work? (I've skimmed the page)

I assume the ENVKEY is some sort of ID or part of OpenPGP decryption key. Where does the actual config come from? Is it stored in encrypted form in some kind of shared service?

The UI would be much better with just the base color channel. The other bells and whistles are just skeuomorphic masturbation and actually get in the way of understanding what's actually going on in the UI.

There's a reason why most DAWs are adopting a simplified, mostly flat and highly readable UI, and this goes absolutely against the current trend.
Again, that presupposes a different set of values.

Consider common American Evangelical beliefs that focus on praying for specific material or personal gain (such as good health). This is nothing more than religion blended with "the cult of the individual". As such, I have little reason to believe those institutions would create better outcomes.

I have not boiled down multiple issues to that, I'm indicating that the problem with jQuery in long-term adoption is that patterns meant to help devs avoid the untenable realm of JS yesterday keep them sheltered from good JS practice today. For that reason, we should move past jquery.

Mage was born of my frustration with people using Makefiles to build Go projects. Makefiles are not cross platform compatible (good luck running them on Windows without jumping through some hoops), they have significant whitespace, they are generally written in bash, with added idiosyncratic syntax on top of an already idiosyncratic syntax...

So I made Mage. Mage tries to take the best parts of Makefiles (dependency trees, ease of execution, partially self-documenting code) and rework it to run with a better programming language (go).

It's still a work in progress, but I think it's in a very good initial state. It lets you declare targets and dependencies and it'll resolve the dependnecies into a tree that'll run them from leaf to root in parallel, all executing exactly once.

It doesn't have file targets yet, but that is on the docket, along with helpers to make writing code that executes commands in go less ugly.

Let me know what you think.
I like the NUC, I've got several. These seem to be reasonable bumps along the line. I find it amusing that Intel's NUC was in response to the Mac Mini and they have now developed a nice niche market while the Mini has wilted on the vine.

Again, I have to ask, what sophistication does Excel have that Google spreadsheet does not also offer?

COM and VBA scripting?
Access database sourcing?

Google spreadsheets even has analogies to this functionality (albeit in Google flavors).

It's certainly not the formula and pivot table capabilities which Google spreadsheets has pretty good parity with. At one point in time you could argue that excel handled larger files better, but more recent versions of Google Spreadsheet seem to handle larger files pretty well.
In the UK, yes. Holding encrypted data against the wishes of the government, that is to say you are unwilling to decrypt it for them, is a crime. I believe up to two years in prison.
That's my problem with microlibraries in general. How rigorous is your vetting process when you're starting to pull in code like left-pad, really?
Sounds about right. Major roads in the UK tend to be remarkably well-engineered, and if you can think of doing something to them, there is almost definitely a document explaining the exact repercussions of doing that and how much it'd cost.

It's not beneficial if the same or better output could be had with half of the inputs. I'm mostly comparing cost of healthcare in other first-world nations with universal healthcare here with the industry as a whole (as opposed to just the workforce). If you know the efficiency can be higher and you choose to operate less efficiently it's some form of the broken window fallacy - maybe the drafty window fallacy? You're basically paying people to move dirt from one place to another - with the excess of insurance claim/billing transactions as the new digital dirt.

Now if you're worried about the more immediate effects on the people displaced by moving to a possibly higher efficiency way of doing things - we'll that's a bigger general problem we have to solve as the displacement rate is seemingly already moving higher than the re-employment rate, and it threatens to accelerate for more areas than just better healthcare practices...
You don't even need the `Array.from` anymore. `.forEach` on `NodeList` is standard https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NodeList/fo..., so all you need to do is load a polyfill for that.

> If you had to design a better agile process, what would that look like?

It would have a well-defined process and standards for proposing, testing, evaluating, and adopting process changes.

In fact, that's all it would have; you'd start with that and apply it to the combination of itself and your pre-existing dev process, whether or not that process claims to be “agile”.

If your process isn't centrally about continuously optimizing itself to business circumstances, tasks, and team personalities and skills, it's not agile.

> Another solution is to use a transpiler like Bable.

At this point in front-end development something like Babel is a must. If you aren't using Babel/Flow/Typescript in your workflow, you are putting yourself at disadvantage for no good reason.

For better or worse, transpiling is a fact of life.

The other day someone was asking why Facebook wants people to adopt to React, which is generally just a question about why all of these software vendors want to eat the world and become the source of everything that commands user attention.

This is why. Apple can use its influence to harm its competitors by frustrating the mechanisms used to promote their monetary interests, making a (legitimate) claim that doing so is beneficial to the user.

Microsoft articulated the goal well in its 1998 memos, the infamous "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish". They want platform control because once you control user attention (and developer attention by extension), you can wedge your way in and do things that benefit your company over others.

Facebook controls the front-end library used by a large portion of all sites, not just facebook.com. If Apple's machine learning mechanism notices some common patterns between Facebook's code for React and Facebook's code for user tracking, either organically or because Facebook does a couple of nudges to make sure that happens, now Safari is broken, evidenced by its inability to correctly render a large portion of the web. If Facebook only had control over code running on facebook.com, then Facebook would be the apparent source of any user-facing breakage.

Note that users are not the customer being catered to. They are, rather, the resource being exploited to provide the energy necessary to undergird the MegaCorp's power expansion, in service to the other MegaCorps doing large-scale advertisement, endorsement, and censorship/speech control deals with them.
