Chicago is a major city with lots of culture, food, attractions, etc.

Personally I love Chicago, and it's one of my favorite cities to visit in the US. And that's at least in part due to the food scene: Au Cheval, Cantina Laredo, Lao Sze Chuan, Petterino's, Wishbone, Star of Siam, Sushi Pink, etc. But... personally speaking I would not want to live and work in Chicago full-time for one big reason: the weather. It's just way too damn cold there for me in the winters.

Now obviously a lot of people do choose to live there, but I can't help but think a warm weather city would be more favorable in some regards, as far as attracting talent goes. But maybe other people don't weight weather as much as I do, or just enjoy cold. Who's to say...
My company wants to migrate from Go to vertical silos of Node.js
The company started to face few deadlines and in the "agile" spirit the COO with development team (9 out of 11 are web app developers) decided to migrate everything to Node.js. Moreover the new team strategy is to build a vertical silos (in the spirit of independent scrum teams). This means that: each team will build full end-to-end solution (full stack)... but they are asked to share a common DB. Did I mention that the web team decided to migrate from Postgresql to MongoDB? Yet everybody is talking about microservices. And we have deadlines...
Is it me who understand the agile teams and microservices differently, or I'm missing something? Agile is about adaptation, but it's also about performance, delivery & plan. So I don't think this migrations and vertical silos bring us anywhere closer to the delivery and future development performance. Especially when the software we are creating aims for the enterprise, long term usage.

In the past I've managed to lead few Go projects. Always with success. But here I'm facing a wall.
Oh I lived in Pudong for a while ;). I will have to disagree with you. It was also very busy for US in 2007, during the housing bubble. And it was busy for Japan in 1989, during the asset bubble. There is little reason for China to be able to escape its massive bubble right now.

Well where you are is presumably better than El Salvador when it come to terms of crime and wealth, and better than Singapore in terms of freedom.

If you were currently living in El Salvador with a family, would you move to Singapore for freedom? Conversely, if you were currently living in Singapore with a family, would you move to Singapore for safety and money?

What exactly do you mean by "they patented one of my..." ?

Patents have named inventors, which can not be companies: they have to be people.

When someone works for a company (actually because of this rule that patents are assigned to individual inventors) they agree as a condition of employment to "assign" the rights to any patents awarded to them in conjunction with performing work for the company (and sometimes not when doing so also) to said company.

So, did they company pay for filing of a patent with you as a named inventor? If so then you signed away the rights to this patent (or you did if they have their legal paperwork straight). You own it as much as I do. You might try asking them nicely for a license to use it -- they might be inclined to help you since to some extent they also need your good will for any future litigation over said patent.

Or, did someone else at the company file a patent covering something that you believe you (not them) invented? If so then prepare to open a legal can of worms.

I guess you might also be saying that the company filed a patent with or without you as a named inventor that you believe is weak (not really a patentable invention) and you're wondering if this is any different than the likely 1000 other weak patents out there covering the same "invention"?

Perhaps if you post more details on the specifics of the situation folks here can help with more accurate advice.
The fact that they provide an irc gateway is the only saving grace for me. Really not looking forward to the day they retire it. But I'm sure it'll come.

Edit: I killed the comments rather than deleting them outright; probably better that way.
Hot location fixes are much faster than warm fixes, even with aGPS. Turning GPS off usually causes a substantial delay before you can start using a location-dependent app or feature, plus the manual effort of turning GPS back on. The delay is far greater if you're in an urban canyon with high levels of multipath interference.

For a suburban user that occasionally uses driving directions, this delay probably isn't an issue. For an urban user who is frequently using maps, location-based searches, ridesharing apps etc, it's a total dealbreaker. If I'm the kind of person who often says "OK Google, where's the nearest coffee shop?", I don't want to have to turn on GPS and wait for a location fix before I get a useful answer.
not a bad marketing strategy, sure got everyone's attention!

First link on google on poor voters going Democratic:

http://www.businessinsider.com/exit-polls-who-voted-for-trum...

Every income group over $50k voted Trump. If you scroll down you see that rural voters did indeed go for Trump, but they are much smaller proportion of the population than city folk or, the largest group, suburbanites (who went for Trump solidly as well).

I don't have a source handy for the poor being largely non-voters but I've seen hundreds over the years, it's well-established fact.

>Given that most people seem to attribute the swing state losses to the 'we need jobs' votes coming from the manufacturing and steel industries

Most people might make this attribution but it is not correct.
It's very difficult to successfully bootstrap an upmarket city: when everything is new at the same time, everything will also stop being new at same time. And still be a far cry from any nostalgic value. For sustainable quality, you want organic growth and a steady replacement pace that will provide a sprinkling of new and shiny over and over again, while leaving some survivors that will eventually reach nostalgia.
You'd have to scrape slowly to mimic a real slow user. Maybe at that point you'd be cheaper to get Mechanical Turk to do it. That should solve IP rate limiting, captchas, and just about everything except the endless arms race. Why are so many people going directly to these same-formatted internal URLs without clicking through from random other places? So the site can change the internal URLs and break it all over again.
No. I work exclusively with scaling Linux workloads in Azure and local failover happens fairly regularly without the user ever seeing any indication. The hypervisor has its own cache which is tied more to your storage acct & runtime data-disks than the VM itself. This is true even with the lowest cost storage option: LRS standard blob-storage.

Howwwwever, LRS storage does not save you if the whole datacenter goes down, or during scheduled maintenance (when the whole datacenter is down.) For that, you'll need ZRS (which does failover to a co-lo in the event of the primary datacenter going down) or GRS (for which you can configure/test your failover options.)

Also, Microsoft's strength is in their PaaS services, like app-service or Azure-Functions. Those usually have CosmosDB on the backend, which is pretty much the best failover/DB-availability server-software on the market in my opinion.
Now I feel kind of bad for being too lazy to do that research myself.

Thank you very, very much!
Figma is great, they have very interesting ways of solving problems, through rethinking from first principles of what makes a feature interesting or useful for the end user.
You've got to know the audience.

One of the great unsung benefits of going to a regular public school is you learn how to deal with dumb people. And when you're out in the world, outside of the above-average bubbles a lot of us find ourselves in, there's a lot of dull-normal people out there.
Yes, it's more expensive than a headless browser. Impossible to say, though, whether it's more expensive than can be justified in achieving an objective until that objective is known.
The most trivial check is using the TCP packet TTL (Time To Live). Windows and Linux doesn't have the same default value so it's "easy" to recognize which one sent a specific packet.

Just look up for "ttl windows vs linux" to find tons of article about it :)

> My father told me that con men preferred to go after smart people

This doesn't make a lot of sense. Most cons like the various Nigerian money scams and pyramid scams are designed to only get responses from less intelligent people.
In the 90s, there was a type of AOL punter (basically DOS attacks for AOL users) that would just IM people tons of html tags (eg <h3><h3><h3>hello</h3></h3></h3> but many more nested tags) and it would freeze aol trying to render it and kick people off the internet. They eventually fixed it.

If by "smart" you mean arrogant urban sophisticates who think very highly of their own intelligence then you're probably right.
Sufficient to claim that the problem is the existence of the state? No, I don't think that they provided anything like sufficient evidence for that claim.

Rothbard did a lot of claiming, I'll grant you that. Sufficient evidence for such large claims? No.
I don't know enough about it, but maybe it's not a technically novel ICO. Maybe the coins just represent a type of equity?
When the streets are only used by self driving cars, then traffic will flow much more smoothly. No accidents, no police stops, one speed, smooth computer merging. Less hard acceleration and braking, less idling, less time spent in a running vehicle by each user.
I also am curious what he meant by that? I have 4 friends in Dallas from Seattle, they love it and have no intention of moving back.

This reminds me of the AOL "punters" we used to make back in the day.

When I was 13 I built a program called "BorG" that did a lot of fun stuff and animations (but the effects didn't freeze people for very long) and chatbots - and I charged $3 as shareware. Or $5 if you really liked it. I got about 100 people mailing me envelopes! And I used to grab some of that money when I wanted to buy pizza or food to hang out. Those were the days.

I wonder if anyone here used it? :)
I'm on the opposite side of that, most of my network uses telegram, but few use signal.

A lot has changed. In the last five years dozens of new skyscrapers have been built in the CBD (The Loop, River North, Near North, West Loop, etc...). Scrolling through Chicago Architecture web site [0] will give you an idea of the level of rapid development.

That subscriber link above explains why, but in the whitepaper I read, it said Broadwell, not only Skylake.
> If that was really true it would create a huge arbitrage opportunity for people to make billions of dollars by building their businesses out in cheaper areas.

If the desirable employees, and the capitalists who want to actively oversee their investments weren't already in the more expensive areas, or if there weren't costs to both associated with regular travel or relocation (which taken together negates the short term opportunity), or if jobs moving to the new place wouldn't actually turn it into a more expensive, denser place (removing the long-term opportunity), that would be true.

There are 'network effects' at least in terms of jobs and that environment. You'd have to convince a bunch of VC's to move to wherever along with a bunch of tech workers.
> Except that what used to require a much larger and heavier machine can now be done with a phone, if not a watch.

That's just a function of miniaturizing hardware. Think how much longer your phone's battery would last if not for the software bloat.

> Cars don't really do much more than they did a century ago. This doesn't mean there haven't been HUGE improvements to make them do their function better.

They serve the same fundamental purpose (moving people around), but they are faster, more economical, much more safe, and offer large amount of convenience features. In a way, it's the exact inverse of what's happening with software.
> That area probably has way above the average population density of the city.

Interestingly, Chiyoda, the Tokyo ward in which the street view you provided is located, has the lowest population (by which I mean the `resident' population density) among all wards in central Tokyo[1]. I believe that this strongly supports your point that the `suffocating' parts of a city does not really have many people living there.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_wards_of_Tokyo#List_of...
In the UK lots of homeowners make marginal increases in density with loft conversions, extensions, garages converted into bedrooms, 'beds in sheds', etc.

The areas where this happens the most (typically low density suburban housing) really need razing to the ground and replacing with much higher density apartment buildings.

To my mind, homeowners investing more money in these properties is only decreasing the likelihood of that ever happening.
I think you're totally right about this but I also think it still speaks to the maturity of the industry and discipline of software engineering. We still have a lot of lessons to learn about building software, even in the cases where it is bid out like a bridge or built like an airplane. We just don't have as much experience under our belt. It's an oversimplification to say that software engineering is immature but I don't think it's wrong. I also don't think the current state of software engineering is even a bad thing or behind in any way, I just like to think we have a lot more to learn.

Pretty sure progressives are strongly aligned on opposition to any housing construction unless it’s specifically set aside for low-income residents, and are okay with low density zoning as an anti-gentrification measure.

YIMBYism is more center-left than progressive.

The fear of other or whatever one wants to call it is pretty strong in rural areas, regardless of state, there just happen to be a lot more rural people in those states as reflected in the state legislative/executive results - anti gay, anti trans gender, anti immigrant laws in most of those states made the news the past few years. Those type of laws don't affect me, but I can see how if someone were affected by them or knew someone affected by them they would see those laws as announcements of intolerance for them or their loved ones. On the other hand if one is in favor of those type of laws, that might be an incentive to move there.
Yea, not much I could do in the situation. I didn't want to raise any flags because I didn't want it get out in the public and I especially didn't want the company I was working for at the time to know I was interviewing elsewhere.

It was very shocking why they were asking very specific technical questions regarding how the company I was working for at the time was addressing. Let's just say it relates to the infamous Uber-Waymo case. That was my red flag, about 30 min - 1 hour into the whole interview process.
I remember once in high school in a kind of AV class I walked past a video camera that was hooked up to a monitor with a live feed. What happened was that as I was walking across the room, I saw out of the corner of my eye a very nerdy person walking across the room on the monitor, and then I suddenly realized that it was me! I walked nerdy! After that, I actually studied the other kids to see what they were doing different, and I adopted two specific changes: 1. Walk with a strut. To me this felt exaggerated and ridiculous until I got used to it, but it was just what the other [male] students did. 2. Hold my books in my hand loosely, as though they might fall out at any time but I don't notice or care. Those two deliberate self-conscious behavioral changes led to a night-and-day difference in how other kids related to me. I was still a nerd, I didn't become popular overnight or anything, but it made a huge difference. (I went to a big public school where you didn't know everybody. FWIW.)

"Act like a dumb-ass and they'll treat you like an equal."
I don't understand why it needs to hijack the back button.
What you’re defining is the difference between “smart leaders” and “good leaders”, mistakenly conflating “smart” with “good” which is precisely the parent’s point. You can have leaders who are good and smart, and you can have smart leaders who not good at leading.
"He was also an economist, and told me that there wasn't an economist born who could stand the idea that the economy would run better (i.e. free market) without their "help"."

What exactly are you saying? Economists tend to lean somewhat libertarian, though like any field, there are a range of political opinions.
You can look at it the other way round. The government know that Heathrow is a terrible place for a major airport. And despite being surrounded by villages, nature reserves and Windsor Park they still choose to expand it.
my family would often chide me for using "big words"...
The truth is, I was just trying to relate something I'd learned...

That sounds terrible. You are not allowed to be yourself around your family. It must've been especially tough for a kid.

However, keep in mind that communication goes both ways. If the way you speak and carry yourself bothers your audience, then you should change the way you speak around them.

As an immigrant, I have thought about this a lot. Changing the way I speak isn't necessarily, as Holden Caulfield calls it, "being a phony". I can speak a completely different language in order to relate my thoughts to different peoples. It's not a stretch to choose different english words to help my partner understand me.

Why do you think they wouldn't hire current residents? Isn't this supposed to be a whole new HQ? I thought they had said it would be 50,000 NEW jobs.

Philadelphia has a 6% unemployment rate. Don't you think HQ2 might drive that down some?

Here in Dallas, there has been a stream of companies moving headquarters in from out of state. Even though they are bringing their people with them, they wind up scouring the landscape for new workers. Toyota relocated and brought 3200 people along but they are still hiring 1000 locals.
All those tests are useless and effective only against script kiddys (which are now like 99.99999% of developers by old standards) and are unable to code anything else but crappy languages like js. For people grown up with web, capable of coding in c/c++ those tests are a joke, I'll just modify the source code to return what is expected and 'game over'.

Sure, but that's easily mitigated by running multiple scrapers as different users.. You don't need to get all the data from a single scrape.
San Francisco is quite walkable -- when I lived there, within a 5 block radius (roughly a 10 minute walk) I had 2 grocery stores, at least a half dozen corner markets, miscellaneous shops (dry cleaner, shoe repair, a cigar store, produce market, etc), numerous bars and restaurants.

The entire city is only 7 miles wide, so about half the city is within a 30 minute walking radius.
Don't know what you mean by analogue ICs without semiconductors.

Anyway, perhaps the problem was more that (almost) nobody back then saw the potential of this technology.
As a resident, I think Nashville would be a really interesting choice. Nashville only recently approved a big transit plan though and it would destroy commute times in the city if the HQ was built here before the new transit system was completed. Traffic is already at unacceptable levels as is.

> I’ll eventually ask, “Which platform do you like to build on to start with?”

> One client answer was: “All — Android, iOS and web. And I want the mobile apps in native to make sure the responsiveness of the app is good.”

Maybe I'm misreading, but the client wanted a Yelpish kind of app. The right play, in my book, would be convincing the client that a React Native app would do. This is a really easy sell since that is actually what the client need. Maybe the author's team aren't yet familiar with RN.

React Native is super snappy and is a great choice for MVPs. It's easy to develop, the reusability is really high between platforms and the price tag is usually quite low in comparison.
> DevOpsDays

I love DevOpsDays. It's a great concept, it's community organized and the one I attended in Amsterdam has been better than any other similar event I attended.

There were workshops, open spaces, round tables and talks, most of which were at the same time laid back and concentrated on the subject, meaning that you saw real life challenges and how actual people react to them. I came out of there evigorated, smarter and more experienced.

Also, it was cheap, fun and great for socializing.
