It’s true that slapping together a WordPress site doesn’t require much rigor, but that’s not what all web development is like. Building a site that can handle tens of millions of requests per day takes a lot of very rigorous work. Writing highly concurrent web services also requires a methodical mind.

Web development describes many different kinds of work. The work doesn’t get easier just because the end result is exposed via an HTTP endpoint.

>There is no longer a sense of serendipity or of finding a cool new website, and maybe finding web pages on the web is just a nostagic thing with no real benefit, but there's no doubt that Google has moved away from that as real objective

I've been working on a sort of "social network for links" for that exact purpose: I personally love finding cool new websites and links, and I just don't see that happening with modern search engines.

So I made Float[1]. I like to think of it this way: if Google is for search, then Float is for exploring.

Still pretty early but core features are here...let me know what you think!

I'm sure there are exceptions, but IME the biggest cause of 'kludging together an unmaintainable codebase' is lack of understanding of the problem domain. Software solutions do not exist in some technical vacuum outside of the problem they were built to solve. Better understanding of the problem domain naturally leads to better software.
FYI 1password just released an excellent Chrome extension that makes all their important functionality accessible to all platforms that Chrome runs on.
If you have a malicious extension, then under XUL I think it is game over. WebEx probably offers more isolation and/or protection. Also note that a malicious addon can possibly also record passwords that are pasted in manually from a password manager, or auto-typed.

On the other hand a website should not be able to get at any password stored in (or pasted into) the browser except its own.
"How did Snapchat beat Facebook to the youth market over the last few years? (Remember Poke?). How did Facebook beat Google in social media in the early 2000s? (Remember Orkut?) How did Google beat Yahoo and Microsoft in search?"

1. It wasn't Facebook who beat Google. It was Google who lost to Facebook.

2. It wasn't Google who beat Yahoo and Microsoft. It was Microsoft and Yahoo who lost to Google.

3. Lastly, Snapchat LOST to Facebook. I don't know where he even pulls this out of.

Unlike his takeaway which is nonsense and will probably make you waste years trying to make something stupid happen, here's my takeaway--which is actually opposite of what he'saying--that's much more helpful:

Don't try to fight against a giant in their own turf. As Snapchat, you will never beat Facebook in their own game, Social. As Google, you will never beat Facebook in their own game, Social (This goes both ways. There have been many rumors about Facebook entering search engine arena, but that will never work). Microsoft and Yahoo (A portal whose business model used to be opposite to Google's) can never beat Google in its own game.

The lesson is, play your own game. Don't play into these VCs telling you it's ok to make these stupid attempts. In their eyes, you the founder is just a number. And even if so, this is a terrible advice because there are so many other ways you can win "against" google, facebook, amazon--You simply don't play against them. Google "beat" Microsoft by dominating their own category. Facebook "beat" Google by dominating their own category.

And lastly, Snapchat couldn't "beat" Facebook because they decided to follow stupid advice like this guy gave and fight against Facebook instead of dominating its own category. It had potential at first to invent a differentiated category of its own but went off rails becoming just another social media app, which Facebook then swiftly copied.
> The white supremacist see the world differently and they view different power structures than you do.

And evolution deniers may view the world differently, too, but as the law must address a certain social reality, it aspires to be based on empirical observation, rather than on personal views. After those observations have been made, the law is, of course, based on personal values. For example, it is an empirical fact that blacks have been marginalized from American society, but it is a question of personal values (as well as empirical questions of expected efficacy) whether or not affirmative action should be made.

> So while you might focus on one type of power structure they focus on another.

No, they simply do not know what power structure is. As far as I know, there is little empirical scholarship by white supremacists.

> In a way that has always felt racist to me: A black person cannot really think white people are subhuman, because white people are obviously not...

Again, you are shifting the discussion to subjective thought, while the law is mostly concerned with objective effects. I don't know what some person may or may not think, neither do I care (as a legislator). I do care about the effect actions have, and because of the existing power structure in society, actions by different people have different effects.

BTW, there is a very interesting debate in legal theory -- which also has to do with studies about the different values on the left and on the right -- precisely about that. Some claim that conservatives are more concerned with actions, while liberals are more concerned with effects. This is not just a matter of values, but also of consequences (where applying the first system has conservative consequences, i.e., it turns to preserve the current social structure). Most legal systems vary on this matter from one law to another, and even judgment practices may change over time. One can most certainly claim that legal systems, including Twitter's rules, should be based on actions more than on effect, but I think that in recent decades, the West has shifted more towards to effect-oriented view, where an action is judged based on its context and its harm.
This is very cool. After going from KeePassX to LastPass to 1Password, I'm back to using (mostly) KeePassX (and occasionally LastPass since $work has LastPass Enterprise). I would very much love to be able to host a private instance that everyone at $work can use and a private one that myself and my family (for example) can use.

Also, AgileBits has 80 employees now!? Wow, I guess that subscription model really is paying off for them. :/

Edit: Somewhat related... for the LastPass users who are terminal junkies, like me, you might like "lastpass-cli" [0]. I actually use it in place of the LastPass browser extension, along with several shell aliases:

The Ultimate Game Boy Talk[0] (listed in the page) is one of my favorite talks of all time.

If you were to send this talk to someone, with basically just the videe they could likely build a faithful Gameboy clone. It's so dense, easy to understand, and comprehensive.

I'll listen to it form time to time and think about all the cool tricks it reveals. Super impressive to have that much knowledge for a system that only had a couple thousand programs ever written for it.

What's the benefit of running ts-node in production?
To clear up your first set to have conditional probabilities for everything, Bayes' theorem is just a restatement of the product rule:

p(a and b | context c) = p(a|b,c) * p(b|c)
= p(b|a,c) * p(a|c)
or = p(a|c)*p(b|c) = p(b|c)*p(a|c) if a and b are independent of each other

so Bayes only matters when there is dependence:
p(a|b,c) = p(a|c) * p(b|a,c) / p(b|c)

otherwise it's just p(a|c) = p(a|c)

I like to put things in that order because p(a|c) is the "prior belief" and with some handwaving say things like "updated belief = prior belief and new evidence about belief".
There are a number of "socially responsible" ETFs with quite low fees - not as low, but not bad. Most focus on environmental goals, though some have worker rights, "biblical values" or equality goals too, some also seek to derive most of their revenue from the renewable industry. That's definitely riskier, but may appeal to some.

As detaro wrote: Measure results, not behavior.

Are deadlines missed? Products sub-standard? Then you have something to worry about (and remote work is not a factor).

Are team members regularly having one-on-one meetings with their managers? Are the employees comfortable enough that they can be open with the manager about any blocks or problems encountered? That's a good sign. If you want to count anything, keep track of one-on-ones.

How Marshfield Became “Marsh Vegas”
There's a lot of social pressure for high tech parents to appear as if they limit their children's technology use. Parents are not particularly forthcoming about their children's technology use. I suspect that many parents don't actually know how many hours a day their children are interacting with technology.

Perhaps this story about Bill Gates is being spun a bit to serve a particular goal? For example, here's a picture of Bill Gates' son with a mobile phone.[1] He says his child didn't "receive" a phone until he was 13. That doesn't mean he didn't "use" one.

"Asked if he keeps passwords to his son and daughters' email and Facebook accounts, Mr Gates said that he doesn’t for Jennifer, 16, who he describes as 'independent'.

He admitted that monitoring online activity is 'a very tricky issue for parents now.'

Also, Can anyone link to the original study referenced here? I can't seem to find it.

"Research has found that an eighth-grader's risk for depression jumps 27% when he or she frequently uses social media. " Googling leads me back to a bunch of other pages, with no references.

I paid someone 10% for this exact service. Nominally, they were supposed to be QA, but they ultimately did very little other than be interested in the project and hound me to make progress. Totally worth it, and to date the only large, multi-year solo project I ever finished and brought to market.
For general circuit design, I would recommend The Art of Electronics, 3rd Ed. by Horowitz and Hill. Of course it’s a book and not a web tutorial, but the content matters more than the format I would think.
Probably just a conflict w/ other extensions or something but, for me, LastPass's "beta" WebExtension quit working after upgrading from FF57 (developer edition) to FF58 (developer edition) on Arch Linux. It worked fine until then, though. It just throws an error saying my list of sites/passwords/whatever can't be downloaded and to try again. Likewise, the newer "non-beta" extension does the same thing.

Edit: Spent 30 seconds to troubleshoot. If I disable uBlock Origin and then login to LastPass (extension), it works fine. So just a small conflict somewhere. YMMV.
Hi Daniel,

I won't comment on your thought process and won't try to change your mind. I'm running a remote team as well (software development).
Objectively, any tool that you install on your employees computers can likely be circumvented by the most motivated worker.

Monitoring will set the expectations for employees to spend XX hours on the computer doing work related tasks.
This is only a proxy for what you are really trying to achieve: high productivity.

There are a few caveats to the approach of monitoring employees for hours logged:

- it sets the expectation as time spent instead of productivity

- maximizing hours in front of a computer is counter productive to maximizing productivity. This is mostly true for creative work (programming, design, problem solving, etc.). I won't post links, don't take my word for it, do your research.

- you will miss out on a lot of very good employees. Top performers can (usually) easily get a job. Monitoring employees has a negative connotation. This is anecdotal but I know a few top programmer and they will run away as fast as possible from your company.

Rather than intrusively monitoring, look at your high performers and use that as your base productivity. That could be your expectations for all employees (again, I don't necessarily condone this but you seem to have very high expectations). Add a bit of flexibility to this as not everybody is always top performing (personal life, preoccupations, etc.).

Then, the non top-performer will need your help in getting to top-performer. By coaching them, you can then focus on these less performing team members and get them on a growth path to meet your expectations. You will have to cut people whom you think will never meet your expectations.

best of luck

This whole article is a huge "appeal to authority" fallacy, and with a sample of 2. I'm not a fan of smartphones or FB myself, but this barely proves anything. Does America only have 2 tech gurus ? The argumentation borders on cult of personality.
> I've not tried bitwarden, but from what I can see it's basically doing the same thing in terms of 1Password and its lockin.

I recently swapped from LastPass to Bitwarden because LastPass subscription went from 12 USD/year to 24 USD/year (a 100% price increase) without reason or benefits. Or well, the only reason is that Marvasol got acquired by Logemein. However compared to 1Password that's still cheaper; they cost 3 USD/month (36 USD/year).

Bitwarden is completely open source and free, unless you'd like to use premium features such as YubiKey (single use license cost 10 USD/year). Which I happen to use. Furthermore, there are more 2FA options available, and you can self-host.

> I'm grandfathered in to their one time pay use

Yeah, that explains your post. You bought a lifetime subscription and therefore don't feel the need to switch. Likewise, I got a lifetime subscription for Emby, so why would I care for Plex?

Adrian Cockcroft on Chaos Architecture: “Four Layers, Two Teams and an Attitude”
I agree here.

I would guess the build environment involves lots of dependencies, lots of special config, lots of stuff which has to be the exact correct version, and all that knowledge has been lost as people have left the team and it wasn't properly documented.

Sure, you could spend a couple of weeks setting up a suitable environment again and relearning everything from scratch, but binary patching is probably easier.
I don't know of any off the top of my head that only excludes 'not friendly to the environment', but I would look at the other brokers. Schwab and Fidelity both have low cost funds similar to Vanguard.

Also, really low cost might be hard since excluding something like 'not friendly to the environment' is more of an active managed fund. There is this though:

I'm British and my wife is Colombian. I've lived in Bogotá and travelled around the country a fair bit. It's an absolute paradise.

The nature and landscapes are just incredible. You have rolling lush green hills with forests and lakes, snowy mountains, canyons and desert plains, the coffee regions, tropical forests and beaches.. You can even drive for just a few hours and see a few of these in a single day. It is truly wonderful and can't really be described, you just have to go there and see it for yourself.

The food in particular is really great. For instance, the sheer variety of fruits and vegetables on offer that I didn't even know existed before I went to Colombia is remarkable!

If you are considering going to Colombia, don't give it a second thought, just book your flights! I promise you will have an amazing time, and will be telling your friends the same when you get back :-)

Thank you all for your answers.

Few things to add: we are very technical co-founders, dealing with 'people' is something we are still learning.

Also, the trouble is with customer support, not dev team.

But I see what you all saying, and I do agree, this is not a great solution. It is new to me, to try to monitor employees, I had never had any issues of this kind. On top of that the problem is really with one or two employees, so making the entire team suffer is silly.

We will talk to those employees and probably just monitor the productivity with weekly goals etc.

Yes, a big house won’t make you happy by itself. Neither will money, a girlfriend, kids (especially kids!), a bar where everyone knows your name, etc. You can be happy sharing a bedroom with two other people you don’t particularly like and you can be unhappy despite everything in your life going exactly how you hoped it would (speaking from experience here). But that’s human psychology, and I don’t think it’s useful to try and paychoanalyze why people are choosing to buy what they buy. Honestly, we all have better things to do with our time.
I work remotely for my current job and am also working on a startup so I can relate to the feelings of loneliness.. I intentionally took a remote work job to try to figure out more about myself and what I really want long-term. Establishing a routine helps a lot, for example I like to use a standing desk at home for a couple hours but after that I'm usually about to go crazy so I go out to work in public, usually a coffee shop. Then, from there I may stay out the rest of the day, switching venues at least once, or come back home depending on how I'm feeling. Then I to to go to the gym when I'm done working. This seems to have helped my feel a lot better than when I would just stay home all day. Another thing I've realized is I hate the area I live because I have to drive everywhere and being able to walk places makes me much happier so I'm figuring how to eventually move somewhere that's a better fit. Also, I've gotten into traveling, I have a little camper I travel with sometimes and work in that. I basically do the exact same routine when traveling but just the added stimulation of being somewhere different. I've developed a lot of interest in learning about how the brain works and one thing I've read is that the main purpose of having complex brains is for motor control and movement, I don't have a good source off the top of my head but it's an easy topic to look up. Basically, though, what I take from it is that it's hard for most people to truly be happy sitting idle in one place all day because it's very unnatural.

I was a very happy user of the old pre-subscription 1Password on both macOS and iOS until I upgraded my MBP to a Dell XPS 15. 1Password for Windows was not available unless I signed up for the subscription. I've been using Bitwarden since this past summer and have been very happy with it.

A few things about bitwarden I would love to see improved:

- A stand-alone Windows desktop app. Somewhat annoying to have to open up Firefox every time I want a password. Also, I would love to have a persistent window to Bitwarden.

- iOS app is not polished. Browser extension works flawlessly, however.

- I would love to be able to search item entries that are not of that specific domain on the iOS extension. Sometimes, I have other info in secured notes or password entries without a domain that I want to get to from the extension. In these cases, I've had to leave the browser and open the actual app to get access to them.
That's really curious, too bad you forgot.
