I guess it is complicated compared to all the features mentioned before: complicated is not the right term, but extending users sessions with notification/messaging support is probably more code than the rest of the forum combined (in every language).

Suddenly there are a lot of things (on top of user sessions, which most web languages/environments have plug and play solutions for) hitting your database and effecting your caching strategies.
In that case, BSD license advocates are delusional if they think their license does any good in the world. BSD-licensed code is charity for the ultra-rich, plain and simple.

And perhaps they have no interest in doing good in the world. In that case, they can all go to hell.
Ask HN: Have you ever been sued by an employer?
Some of you will likely not be able to share your stories. I am interested in hearing stories of people who were sued by their employers.

Some seed questions to start discussion follow.

1. Were they successful?
2. Were you an employee or a contractor?
3. Was it for violation of a restrictive covenant like a non-disclosure agreement?
4. Was it for something akin to "malpractice"? Were you accused of building insufficient software?

Within the past month, I had 9/10 pain after pulling or tearing something in my back. Went to the ER/urgent care because I couldn't function. This is what they gave me (ibuprofen + acetaminophen). It worked so-so. Opioids should be used less than antibiotics, which also should be rationed.

I guess the tough part is getting the users on to another platform. Businesses will then naturally follow, but convincing the users to switch when they and everyone they know are entrenched in FB is hard to say the least.

As someone who didn’t know much about Rossini, this was both entertaining and enriching.

New Criterion is in my view the best magazine around, so always love seeing it on HN! Hilton Kramer, the late New York Times Critic, founded it to pursue a Modernist, as opposed to Postmodernist, approach to criticism.

It is unabashedly highbrow. While certainly accessible to a cultured layman, it is not dumbed down, and there is no pretense to accessibility or relevance for the modish chattering classes (e.g. NYT, NYBooks, New Yorker). Thus the articles can be intimidating. This is not snobbery but in an idealistic belief in unifying power of high culture – a universal striving towards perfection, accessible to anyone who makes the effort.

TNC’s contrarianism thus contributes to its small circulation of 6,000. In an age of left-liberalism / “progressivism” and relativism, it is classically liberal and aspires to universal truths. Many will thus despise what they view as a Eurocentric, chauvinistic veneration of “dead white men,” as well as an evil discriminatory belief in “high culture” – that some art is better than the rest.

TNC’s polemic (elsewhere) can be tiresome – depending where you stand, either inflammatory or preaching to the choir. But this sort of article – educating us about someone we should know – is what makes it great. For those of us who missed out on critical theory, “this is Good Art” is a lot more accessible than today’s typical Pomo. And there is a certain satisfaction that Rossini, who perhaps we knew only as a "name to conjure with," as well as his Péchés, are a little less unfamiliar than when we started.
I think that’s $0.60 per quarter not per day. 380MB for the quarter per daily active user doesn’t seem that unreasonable.
Interesting. Looks as if you're two people developing it (you and 'glemb', right?). Can I ask is this a startup, or is it a side project? (or something else?) What are your long term goals?

(Your about page says a lot about the forum software & its features, but nothing about who you are or why you're donig this, e.g. vision & goals.)

What about providing hosting? (for people who don't want to / cannot install themselves.) And what about Gmail & FB login, what are your thoughts about supporting that?

No, it is not "easy" to get that. Most Bay Area jobs are not senior engineers at Google. Like I said before, a mid-level salary in SF is somewhere around $130k. The numbers are well-documented.

If you win the stock lottery, or stay in the industry for a while and become one of the top 10% of earners, you can do upwards of $200k. But that excludes the bottom 90% of jobs, which is what most people actually have.

As a PSA to all junior engineers: if you actually believe you can "easily" earn over $200k in the bay area, I strongly encourage you to take some phone screens before acting on your notions. Tell companies your salary expectations in advance.

Maybe possible if you live in a low cost of living place, have good insurance record and a old crappy car, own your car and rarely drive but it would be close.
That's definitely not conservative.

Maybe you don't know what a conservative attitude about libraries is because you've never seen one.

Your original comment:

> You can be conservative about adding dependencies and still end up with hundreds

No. Just no. If you have hundreds of dependencies, you are by definition not conservative about adding dependencies.

> Database driver

About the only legit thing on the list.

> database utilities

Not needed.

> gRPC framework

Not needed.

> monitoring & metrics

Not needed.

> CLI & configuration tools

NOT NEEDED!

.. etc.

> Drop any item on that list and you are either losing capabilities or have more software to implement yourself

What are you losing by not using grpc? You can do a lot of things by just using the builtin rpc package or the encoding/gob with the http package.

Being conservative about adding dependencies means resisting the urge to add them and figuring out a way to do without them.

Every dependency you add is a potential point of failure and headaches.

Just like every layer of abstraction you create.

The cost for dependencies is huge, so every dependency has to justify itself by giving such a huge benefits that it's worth the cost.

> Cobra

Do you need a special library to handle command line arguments? How complex is your CLI interface? How many commands and sub commands do you have? 10? 20? It's trivial to handle that much manually using the builtin libraries.

> Viper

How hard is it to just read a json file using builtin libraries? How much do you lose by not using "Viper" or whatever?

How many times will you have to read config files? One time when the app launches? Does not justify adding a dependency.

> it is certainly tempting to reimplement things like Cobra, Viper, sqlx, prometheus end point, and everyone knows we should all implement our own crypto

You don't even need to re-implement anything. Just do the simplest thing that works using the standard library.

You know the standard library comes with a crypto package, right?

The mindset you are presenting is the exact opposite of conservative. You are just grabbing every library that you think can save you 20 lines of code.
Good. very genuine way of approaching.

China’s Technology Ambitions Could Upset the Global Trade Order
1. I'm not seeing the causal link between the flag and the symptoms. I often find "Chrome" "causing" the same problems, but typically you can judge from the memory use that an errant tab is allocating the world, and you've started drawing on swap, which of course slows things down. But here we've cropped the memory stats out of the screenshot from top (for the system as a whole; we can see a few processes consuming a few hundred MiB, but Chrome loves processes, and there could be several more below, and summing RAM usage from processes is a deceptively tricky beast), and I can see nothing to prove that the field trial is even to blame.

2. You get the browser for free. If everyone adopted this same attitude, Chrome would not be able to do real-world A/B testing on features; what should they do instead, just release it all or nothing? You might have been unlucky today, but perhaps tomorrow someone else's misery provides the needed data to prevent a bad feature from going out.

3. Vote with your "feet", and switch to Firefox? (or one of the other myriad of browsers out there…)
There is a version rewritten in C#, back in the day - not sure how up to date is:

Well, I can say that my experience and my g/f too, have been from conversations we've had at the house we live in and it's usually something random.
Half a day, while far from ideal, was long enough for my needs. However, as soon as I upgraded, and not a minute earlier, the battery problem manifested. Now, it could be a coincidence and it is indeed just a problem specific to the battery, but its at best suspicious - the timing is.
I will replace the batter anyway, and I am getting a new iPhone next week, I just don’t appreciate being “forced” to upgrade -- conveniently when the iPhone X came out, no less.
You're perfectly free to not use Intel processors, and this 'GPL vs the world' argument is orthogonal to the BSD license.

My thinking was that one might be able to do it with their cell phone, with close up images. Then it could maybe tell things like stitching, material, precise color match, and maybe then be able to say if it is counterfeit.

I'm just not sure ML is yet that good. My thoughts were more about multiple pictures or a small video. I'd suspect that it could train itself further as the DB expands.

I'm just not sure how good it actually can be. It probably only has to be better than a layperson, though I could see more precise stuff used to scan by customs. Any percentage higher than the normal buyer of such would be better, assuming few false positives.
>When cars don't crash, they don't need to be designed to crash

No matter how good Waymo's driving is, unless they're the only things on the road, their cars will need to be collision-safe.
Agree that it's going to be harder to predict, and probably dependent on the individual.

When it comes to commuting in the Pacific Northwest, for most of the year an extra half-hour of available daylight at the end (or start) of the day is the difference between getting out climbing during the work week, or not.

Personally, I'd trade a comfortable commute for that extra time, no question. Of course, maybe a self-driving car could allow for working during the morning commute, and getting off earlier... Hmmm.
We've been using it for the last 3/4 years. It's great and really user friendly, with integrated help and a web interface - everything in a single binary. The trouble with it is that it gets slower once you have a lot of history and many files. I don't know if you can use it for huge things like the Linux kernel or the FreeBSD ports tree. I once tried to import the ports tree into fossil and gave up after 2G and an hour. It will import anything that can do git fast-export. Now it also imports svn dumps as well. Fossil is a very good replacement for SVN. You can set up a central repo where everyone syncs on commit and update.
What? Total comp for a non-senior engineer in Austin is somewhere between $75-90k, nowhere near your $110k number, that's senior engineer territory.

Also $250-$400k is the norm for senior engineers in big companies here in the Bay Area.

I graduated from UT Austin and now live in the Bay Area, financially speaking it's the best decision I've ever made since I'm now on track to retire before 35.
How Can an App Developer Be Sure That His App Idea Is Unique
Not necessarily. iPhones that have iCloud backup Feds can get a court order to have Apple provide as the backups not encrypted with device keys.

If it's the device data they want and it's a 5s or later yeah that's likely to be difficult to get at without decapping the chip.
That sounds really sad, to be honest. Where are you living that you can't have face to face interactions on a regular basis.
Well this @mention is a bit more complicated than what one might think. For example: If someone creates a post, without any @mention, then edits it, and adds a @mention — then, do you detect this, when looking at the edits, and send a @mention notification now? And what if s/he edits the post again, and removes the @mention, then, do you remove the notification? Cancel the email if it hasn't been sent yet? And if the email has been sent, and the user clicks the link, and views the post — but the @mentioned user sees no @mention because it was removed, then ... this is not good UX. Should you do something about this? Explain that the @mention got removed? Or just leave the user slightly confused?

Also, do you really want to send an email for a @mention immediately? What if the user who writes the post, keeps editing it, after having saved it? Should you wait for a minute or two, until s/he seems to be done editing it? And then generate the @mention email? Or directly, even if then an early out-of-date version of the post will be included in the email.

What if the @mentioned user is in do-not-disturb mode, then you need to schedule the notification for later.

And what if the @mentioned user is already online and sees the post with the @mention in, diriectly? Then maybe you needn't generate any notification at all. But how do you determine what s/he is reading currently?

There's a lot to think about (more than what I mentioned above) that one might not think about, ... before one starts implementing everything. — And this is just for @mentions. ... Kind of goes on like this, with every small seemingly simple feature you want to add.
Still, traffic will be worse when you compare one bus with 50 people vs. 12 self-driving cars with 4 people each. A bus is 14-15m long, whereas even a small car like the Chevy Bolt is over 4m. So parked bumper-to-bumper the cars produce >3x as much traffic, and then you add some gaps for actually driving you're up to 4x.

Personally I'm very skeptical of both the claim that a) self-driving cars will see huge adoptation at the cost of car ownsership and that b) self-driving cars will give less traffic, less pollution and be significantly cheaper than owning a car.

On the latter point, we have basic economic theory: say the average American today spends $600/month total on owning a car. Why would anyone price a self-driving service at $200/month? No, they'd go for an initial price of $400/month for a couple of years to get customers, then sneak back up to $600/month once they've caught most of the market.
Total comp for a non-senior engineer in Austin is somewhere between $75-90k, nowhere near your $110k number, that's senior engineer territory."

OK, that's fair. I haven't been a junior engineer in Austin, so I'm estimating from what I see on hiring sites.

$130k is at the top of the SF range for a junior engineer, too, so let's call it a $40k spread. That's still entirely consumed by the difference in rent and taxes.

"Also $250-$400k is the norm for senior engineers in big companies here in the Bay Area."

On this point, you are absolutely full of it. You're talking to a "senior engineer", formerly in the Bay Area. Real-dollar compensation for elite people can get that high, but most people aren't elite. Also, I don't count future value of Magic Stock Bux as salary (nor should you).

Comments about retiring at $some_young_age are treated with the same respect as when they were coming from 20-somethings in 1998: put up actual numbers or shut up. Internet People have been ambiguously bragging about their early retirement scenarios since the internet supported bragging.
