Yes, it really has been downhill since then. I wish js apps just had their own protocol and port. js://js.server.tld could open up your js browser and you could use that when it was something you needed. Then you could just trust browsing around the normal web, knowing its just documents.
I'd be curious to see how the data changes if the question is changed to "Do you think you are compensated enough". I personally know people who think they make too much, and may actually answer "No" to the question "Do you think you are compensated fairly?"
For us developers this might be true, but I also know people who just smoke every hour, they stop doing what they are doing just to get their cig... and that's everything but effective.
Sorry about that zepolen, I am busy writing Documentation and shall update test cases there after.
I agree with the first part, but not with the second part. I believe equating John's behaviour to a chef who has told a customer off is just as distant as mine.

If I was looking exact equivalent, I would just send the same link to the same email.

I am using empathy here. I don't know you guys, you may feel ok if you get shouted when you do wrong when contributing to a project, but I would feel bad, and as a human, I don't think my feelings are not important. If it is coming from an important person like Linus Torvalds, this would hurt even more, and really I don't see anything disrespectful to anyone in John's email.
The adversarial effect might come to full force not during a YT video or Google Docs but when an actual human is involved. An example of which is the Palantir Story:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15600859

From the article:

"In fact, on two separate occasions, police shot at trucks misidentified as belonging to Dorner, injuring three civilians. “We said [to Palantir], ‘We need an application that can span multiple units within an agency…multiple agencies within a county... and multiple counties within a state,’” says Jackson. “[They developed an application] based on lessons learned from Dorner.” That application, called ClueMan, short for Clue Manager, has just gone live at JRIC."

Palantir or any AI/ML software seller will tout it's system as infallible, and mistakes, as low as they might turn out to be, will have real chilling effects.

I'm old enough to remember when our pre-bubble, pre-amazon "web"team found about javascript via the web monkey website with it's animated moving arms! Prior, all interaction was via CGI or SSI. I still remember a web teacher at a university teaching a side course, telling us never to use javascript, and showed the NBA site and others. Then a student raised his hand: NBA uses javascript. And the prof, said, "Oh, I have javascript turned off, so I didn't know".
"For many of us in the early 2000s, the web was magical. You connected a phone line to your computer, let it make a funny noise and suddenly you had access to a seemingly-unending repository of thoughts and ideas from people around the world.

"It might not seem like much now, but what that noise represented was the stuff of science fiction at the time: near-instantaneous communication at a planetary scale. It was a big deal."

I kind of yearn for the pre-web days... when the primary means of communication was mailing lists and newsgroups, without any commercial
interest.

The creation of the web was when it all started to go wrong. Corporations started to flock to it like flies and tried their best to turn it in
to an ad-laden, spyware-laden, dumbed-down, one-way broadcasting medium not too far from television.

We need more behavior like this. The reason why the modern software tend to be a pile of garbage is because it is managed like popularity contest of the project managers instead of people who want to get shit done.
The current Sqlite (post-3.0, 2004) file format:

https://www.sqlite.org/fileformat.html

File Format Changes in SQLite:

https://sqlite.org/formatchng.html

"Since 2004, there have been enhancements to SQLite such that newer database files are unreadable by older versions of the SQLite library. But the most recent versions of the SQLite library should be able to read and write any older SQLite database file without any problems."

Me, I'm just happy all my old doccies are in TeX.
In Ruby, the "?" is optional and used to indicate you are calling a function/method which returns a boolean.

The "!" is actually part of the function/method's name. When you want to sort an array, for example, you can either say "sorted_array = array.sort" or you can sort in-place with "array.sort!". So the exclamation distinguishes between the two methods and warns you are performing a destructive operation.
SmartOS's LX branded zones seem kind of cool to me, and may hit an interest point for you. Basically, SmartOS is an OpenSolaris variant where they use Solaris Zones for docker images, but they've implemented a Linux syscall table API so you can create Linux "compatible" containers from a Solaris kernel (and also full access to ZFS, etc). You can see a talk here[1] where Bryan Cantrill goes over the reasons you might want to use containers, SmartOS and how LX branded zones. Warning though, he's an extremely engaging speaker, so not only are you likely to watch all of that 40 minute talk, but you might feel like binging on some other talks of his, so here you go.[2]

Can't edit orig comment...yes I misunderstood the point about explicit breaking changes. I recently watched Rich Hickey's "spec-ulation" talk referenced elsewhere in this thread, which takes an extreme view (tl;dr SemVer sucks and we shouldn't have breaking changes ever), so that's where my mind was. Thanks for the clarity, all.

Let's ignore the EvilMegaCorp problem for a moment and discuss how we use the web as a platform.

For years we've accessed the web through our Desktop/Laptop computers. You have a big 'ol screen, nice ergonomic keyboard — life is good.

Do you think this type of web usage is going away? Why?

Mobile has skyrocketed in the past couple of years, but will it continue to take over? Will the new generation ever again stare at the big screen?

Can desktops/laptops really be replaced by mobile? I guess they certainly could be replaced by AR/VR.
I certainly won't say that there's no place for PowerPoint or similar slide-style presentation tools, but I think that they are greatly abused. In many cases, a point paper would be a more effective way to communicate information. Unfortunately, point papers generally require the recipients to actually think, and PowerPoints generally don't. I don't actually mean that snarkily — in a lot of cases it doesn't actually immediately matter if those receiving information via PowerPoint actually understand it. It's more of a business ritual than an actual value-creating activity.
> Do you trust a random commenter on HN on the Internet than a few of your own friends?

No and yes? The problem is I didn't have any friends who worked directly for Netflix this is mostly what they had heard from others and what one supposedly asked about during his interview a few years back.

So yeah I trust them but they also got their information second hand which, when compared to "stranger on the internet claiming to be working at Netflix" I don't see a huge difference in.

Endless | Full-time | ONSITE or REMOTE (depends on role) | San Francisco, CA; Taipei, Taiwan; anywhere (depends on role)

See all roles and apply here: https://jobs.lever.co/endless

More info here: https://endlessos.com/careers/

We did a Reddit AMA recently: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/75pu2j/we_are_endless...

Endless develops Endless OS, a Debian-based operating system that brings a powerful desktop experience to all. Designed for emerging markets, where access to computers and the internet are limited, it combines ease of use with a wide variety of free, powerful software for learning, productivity and recreation, making it the perfect fit for families everywhere.

We don’t just ship a comprehensive set of standard desktop apps (web browsing, office productivity, media production, games etc), but also what we call “knowledge apps”, which provide offline guidance for all manner of areas including cooking, water sanitation, health, exercise, and more. It's easy to support and relatively resistant to malware because the base OS is released as a read-only atomic snapshot using OSTree with sandboxed applications distributed with Flatpak. https://ostree.readthedocs.io/ http://flatpak.org/

We're hiring in a few areas: design; distributed systems (the offline content pipeline); DevOps; Linux distro tooling; Linux kernel; QA; and more. The team is itself distributed around the globe; some of these roles are based in our San Francisco or Taiwan offices, while others are elsewhere or remote.
Hackers Compromised Trump Organization 4 Years Ago–and the Company Never Noticed
The part where the author tries to tie Brexit and the election of Donald Trump to the user-hostile web is bonkers.

People, you have to understand this: There exists a large number of others out there who desperately want government reformed, want more localized control over their lives, and who voted accordingly. It wasn't some trick pulled on them by corporations or Russians manipulating social media. I realize that may be hard to understand, but it is the truth!

The rest of the article was well-intentioned, but somehow just a bit off. We can't go back to 1999 or 1993, but we can limit the walled gardens and censorship if we want to. But this is important: It's not the freedom-minded people who want to shut down free speech or filter and censor, it is the dyed-in-the-wool Marxist hardliners and the corporatists.
How to Value Bitcoin from NYU Valuation Professor
Mubashar Iqbal and I started chatting about the idea of a centralized public location for your crypto wallet addresses, we came up with a few conclusions.

We wanted Wallet List to be super lightweight where it can work in areas with low broadband. This will help with the adoption in 3rd world countries and will expose crypto there.

We also wanted Wallet List to be internationalized. (WIP)

We have more plans for the future of what Wallet List can do, but for knocking this out on day 1 on Product Hunt’s hackathon… I’m pretty happy with it.

Nothing in that diagram has anything to do with Kafka, it's just showing that you can connect different systems together using a single message bus. If you are new to that concept then I recommend reading the seminal blog post about using logs as the data backbone: https://engineering.linkedin.com/distributed-systems/log-wha...

After that, you can choose whichever implementation you want, of which Kafka is just one option. And yes it does require some work to setup and run, as most software does, but it's no more or less than any other distributed system at this point.
Er, not sure if your post is a joke, but if not, that site is a crazy smorgasbord of crackpot theories that is so nutty that I'm not sure that the site even takes itself seriously.

VMware acquires VeloCloud as it moves deeper into networking
I understand where you're coming from. It's important to take the cultures and expectations of each participant if one's goal is to communicate effectively. And that goes both ways. Both the speaker and the listener need to take this into account. If one's dogmatic, believing that requiring any change on their own part to accommodate the listener, that gets in the way of the goal of communicating effectively, just as expecting a speaker to conform to one's own standards as a listener. It really needs to be looked at from each person's perspective.
It's hard to objectively value things. But bitcoin is a clear outlier because it's only value is that people think it's going to go up in value. It's more like beanie babies than a Van Gogh.

Wine price is generally determined by the genuine demand for the wine. Art less so, but still people actually want to hang the art somewhere. Some people speculate with art, but it's not a huge percentage of the value.

Gold is the closest, but it's still a mile apart. First, there is genuine demand for gold for decorative purposes. But there is a large demand for gold as a store of value.

There are two key difference between bitcoin and gold. Gold has a very long track history of reliable demand. All of history it has been valuable. It is seen as a safe bet. But the bigger difference is that gold isn't purchased on the expectations of massive growth. Gold isn't supposed to MOOOOOON. It's just supposed to be steady. Sometimes gold is over priced, but demand is steadish.

Bitcoin only has any value (beyond the negligible trading value) because a bunch of baghodlers think bitcoin will be work tens of thousands of dollars eventually. Why do they think that? Because it's gone up a lot in the past? There is no "there there." If people start to wonder if bitcoin will ever go up, it will crash.
Imagine if they find an opened chamber, and that it contains artefacts that can be carbon-dated, and they turn out to be thousands of years older than conventional Egyptology expects.

(I expect there will be artefacts, and I expect their dates will coincide with what we already expect, but I’m always holding out for ”new science” that needs to be explained.)
If the cat was perfectly still, not twitching and neither were you, it would be one sample. With both entities moving, you are getting constant, discrete samples of what a "cat" is.

This is a great point. Having someone on your team who can act as a mentor to others is really, really important. Reading well-written code from their work/check-ins will help everyone improve over time.

I still think there are programmers more akin to artists who have a knack for solving complex problems elegantly. BUT there is a lot of craft in coding that can be learned. Even if you're not a greater programmer but you write clear, maintainable code you/someone else can improve it overt time.

I could see going as high as 5% of total net worth in crypto, but not yet.
I kind of think it has more to do with organizations like Facebook vs. some particular technology itself. It's the way corporatists want to control everything in order to create money rivers that flow only to them.

This has nothing to do with whether people vote republican or democrat, or who voted for Trump and who didn't. If that's your entire understanding of the situation, then none of this makes any sense and it looks like everybody involved is crazy. If you want to have any hope of understanding the situation (WHY people are acting the way that they are and WHY Trump was elected in the first place), then you're going to have to dig deeper.

It didn't take Russians to turn Americans on each other. Some Russians just gave it a nudge.

Perhaps some Americans just wanted power and used an effective divide and conquer strategy on their fellow Americans.

Perhaps some Americans need to look down on some other Americans.

Perhaps some Americans are intolerant of other Americans.

BTW this applies to both sides of the political spectrum.
I guess because there is no established successful business model of having 100 people giving management direction to a company. Would be easy to disprove though.
I understand why you would feel this way but I disagree. The meme of being pythonic has the benefit of most libraries being understandable. It is always very obvious when python code has been written by someone who specializes in another language, and it is usually painful to read their code.
So in response to the grandparent, 1-3 ms is way too short, but it kinda of depends on the definition of "react" in this instance. The delay from a photon hitting the retina to triggering neurons in the superior colliculus to spike is likely pretty low (I would guess ~10 ms?), but when ocular motor movement becomes involved (ie stimulus onset -> fixation) things slow down considerably.
And if an employee pushed for 3 weeks ignoring the company's leader's best-known rule for not screwing over customers - what does that say about the employee? How would you deal with it if they haven't listened to anyone else? It's like you're not even reading anyone's responses to understand why they disagree with you...
Perhaps WASM will provide the better match for business applications, sidestepping HTML entirely.

It should allow side-stepping the complex morass of piecemeal evolved html features and implementation border case incompatibilities.

e.g. Today you can use Unity game engine to target WASM as a runtime and it should render, and function, very much identically across all browsers, and with a bit of creativity can be used to include forms and business functionality.

This does come at the cost of downloading the app runtime and UI libraries with the app, but frankly the download size is not such an issue anymore and in the future for many markets. e.g. 5G mobile broadband is targeting Gbit speeds!
Banks in Germany are competitive with TransferWise for fairly large amounts (several thousand euros). You can achieve sub 0.5% charges with DKB, including the exchange rate penalty, for example. The main problem is that the pricing structures are opaque. Often the exchange rate is not properly advertised (and may not apply depending on the time of the transfer) and there are additional charges to include.

WAIT? That is 100% contradictory! You are taking NASA's work and making the work competitive contracts, saving Government money. So instead of NASA getting 100% of the jobs they are then taking the best bidder, AKA cheapest price that can get the job done.

So since the Government is paying it must be a Government Agency that runs it? Your talking double talk aka hypocrisy. Privatization is 100% taking work monopolized by the Government and putting them out to a private identity that can do it cheaper through the free market system.

List comprehensions are less expressive than for loops hence there is less to reason about.

Hence, if what you want is achievable with a list comprehension, its intent will naturally be clearer than the for loop equivalent.

You can easily login to Pi-Hole admin and turn off the blocking for 5 seconds, 10 seconds, ..., indefinitely.
