I was referring more to the overall ecosystem than the core platform, which is solid. Stack Overflow uses Dapper rather than Entity Framework, and that alone makes transitioning much easier. EF on .NET Core still just isn’t as good, and the third party library support isn’t as good either. For most people, I don’t really think moving to Core is quite worth it yet.
I am referring to their flawed implementation of speculative execution, with respect to how much of today's CPU performance is due to it.
They released this last week: https://press.atairbnb.com/brian-cheskys-open-letter-to-the-... ... The part that caught my attention was: "To begin measuring how well we are serving all stakeholders, in March, we’ll release Airbnb’s first Annual Stakeholder Report." ... You only come up with this crap when you don't want to go public. You know...because reporting to stakeholders is what public companies do.
I don’t think people realize how big a trend in general manufacturing will be in the future. The life cycle of the world can best be described as new systems / software supporting new infrastructure / hardware.

We’ve had 40 years of massive improvements in software and code. There have absolutely been hardware improvements in that time, but we haven’t seen the levels of improvement we saw from 1920 to 1960 for example. The reason for this is that software or hardware tends to dominate for 40 or so years, followed by a reverse, where the new area takes advantages of the advances laid down in the other. This dynamic tends to play out in other fields of a soft science or liberal arts supporting a hard science.

Interestingly, the 40 year pattern tends to hold for national real estate as well, where prices tend to shift back and forth between coastal areas and the “inner US”.

All of this means that the mid-west, with its incredibly cheap real estate and 100+ year history of manufacturing won’t be the new Silicon Valley ever, but it will be what it once was, a great place to be during a dominant era of American manufacturing supported by advances in software. Probably will also decline again at some point too though.

Also there are plenty of places in Ohio where you can get a 2500 square foot 100k house in a reasonable school district in a town of 200k+. Also means SF and NY real estate likely to revert to what it was like in the 1970’s, a super cheap albeit dangerous place to live.

They were facing a full FDA trial for the whole thing. Certainly a perverse incentive not to fully develop the product :)

Considering how poor the sales of the tablet have been, I'm sure they'd rather be charging $20,000 per treatment. They actually sold the entire tablet business for $2m which is pretty abysmal compared to the value of 'curing tooth decay forever'

Just 50 years ago or so "not 'experts' but experts" were practicing lobotomy as a great new cure that would save us all. They had access to the best literature, probably were respected.

There was an article not so long ago here about a IIRC 12 y.o. boy who got lobotomized because his step mother decided that'd be a great idea. Rosemary Kennedy was lobotomized by the same doctor. American health care has always been great.

Here are all the open positions: https://careers.smartrecruiters.com/Square/dev-platform

Fullstack Engineers - we use mostly Go, Ruby, and JS and create the platform that makes Square a Platform, we also own several products, and are releasing many new primitives for devs to build businesses on top of Square

Frontend Engineers - owning eCommerce API for websites to accept payments (and do card on file) without PCI effort, dev experience, dev portal, and new not-yet-released products!

Android Engineers - opening up Square's Hardware, so anyone can build their own Point of Sale, plus new not-yet-released products!

Technical Writer for the platform - be the voice and create an industry leading dev experience

Also hiring for Product Analyst, Technical Program Manager, Product Manager, SDKs and Examples team (in Seattle).

Note we are considering remote candidates only for the Technical Writer role.

Interview process is a phone screen or two, then onsite, then offer.

Haha.

You could use something akin to the principle behind the Socialist millionaires problem, to compare two values without revealing them to another party.
A description of -- not a name for -- is corporate control of an open source project. Trying to keep up with Angular or Kubernetes or Go is not a problem at the Google from whence they come because the technologies are primarily used by and hence primarily designed for use by teams. Not individual developers.

A team's brain can schedule a time where part of it is training or studying while the rest of it is making progress on the task at hand. A team's brain can resolve ambiguity and complexity more easily because it has multiple human brains and those brains have different strengths and experiences.

A single developer can't duplicate a brain. A small team of developers can't replicate the larger multi-team brain of a Google org-chart. Google org-charts are the context for which its tools are designed. The same is true of other corporate open source technology bundles like React and AWS.

People kick themselves for not grokking technologies like Kuberentes without realizing that it wasn't really designed for their use case, isn't documented to be easy to pick up, and isn't managed with the cognitive load of individuals in mind. The time scales around which these technologies are designed are FTE-months or years.

If a two pizza team can get up to speed in a month, it means an individual will probably take about a year. Given equal cognitive efficiency.
Kentik | Software Engineer | San Francisco | Onsite/Remote, Full-Time | kentik.com

Kentik is a database company masquerading as a network BI tool: https://www.kentik.com/inside-the-kentik-data-engine-part-1. We wrote a custom database in go, which at its heart works by taking a time range, storing all events by time-slice and then at query time querying each time segment in parallel. This is hidden behind a Postgres front end using the foreign data wrapper interface PG provides. Then we tried to sell this product and quickly realized that we need a data-visualization layer.

We're hiring someone primarily to work on our network anomaly detection product -- https://www.kentik.com/ddos-detection/. This would be kinda a split role, working in a React framework on the client side, node, and then a go codebase which processes traffic data, checks if there's anything to alert on, and then if so does some set of actions.

I have 5+ years experience building web applications in Ruby and Javascript.

- Do you want to build a fairly traditional app? I've done tons of that with Rails and Express.

- Do you want to do some really fancy stuff? I've focused on that lately using React and Redux, builing complex apps that live inside the browser with lightweight servers that serve JSON.

- Do you want to do some really really fancy real time stuff? I've also worked on apps that use websockets to deliver realtime two way communications in conjunction with React to do magic.

- Do you use a database? I have 6+ years of experience working with Postgresql, and am not too shabby with MySql either.

If you think you might want to do any of these (fancy) things, I can lead or augment your development efforts with an approach that prioritizes clear communication and quality code. I've been working for 3+ years remotely with both startups and larger organizations, and am happy to talk with you about your project.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Indeed. The cathedrals won.

I would posit(x !) that it's because it is easier to form a community and 'cost of entrance' around a megalith like Kubernetes, than around individual tools that do 1 or a few very similar things well.

Then again, I would say it's time to start looking away from "handling text streams", to something that can handle data streams of various formats, including transcoders that can convert from one type to another.
iOS 11.2.2 and 11.2.5 WebAssembly regression
I agree that this needs to be discussed more frankly. A better choice of words on my part would have been "unpleasant" rather than "distasteful".

In any case, I don't know of any modern political system in which this important issue can be addressed directly -- rather than letting each authority silently make decisions based on their own values.

It's also worth noting that the absolute value of people's lives (in terms of what's spent) changes depending on who's doing the spending. This is the same as saying "money is worth progressively less as you get more of it". That's unlikely to make the topic more approachable.
In short, at the scale any block service is intended to serve, HDDs/SSDs are going to fail, networks are going to be down, data corruptions are going to happen, unpredictable latencies are going to appear, etc. etc. All these failures are destined to happen at a not so infrequent rate. The service offers the abstraction/illusion of "HDD in the cloud that never fails (or may 9s SLA)" despite all that is pretty hard to pull off.
The only thing Go has over D is:

- predictable release process

- predictable language development

- predictable changes between versions

- clear direction

- no competing and non-interoperable standard libraries

- a backwards incompatible version 2 does not come out 6 months after version 1.0 deprecating it.

Oh. Wait. That wasn't just an "only" thing.
I would love to see the results of a slightly different study where participants (usually) fell asleep and woke naturally (and without external influences like apartment neighbors or flatmates) and those who's sleep cycle terminated artificially.
I'm not quite buying the central point of this piece.

The author argues that transparency and liability are at odds, and cites Open Source Software as the main example to justify this.

But, there is a third aspect: Money. If you sell something to me, then I want both transparency and assurances of fitness for purpose. Even if it's not directly part of the contract, it's implied by consumer protection laws. (Maybe not everywhere, but .de seems to have pretty good consumer protection).

Open Source Software doesn't come without liability because of it's openness, but also because it's free as in beer.

I am not going to argue on the merits of unions based another union and industries separation of duties taken out of context. It is an argument killing trope, "look at the ridiculous separation of job responsibilities in the film unions!" OMG, What would happen if we took this to the extreme in tech? Imagine, in a world where one person types statements and another enters semicolons. If you can't solve this problem, unions are bad.

It has no bearing on the validity of labor collectively bargaining for better conditions.

> It's unlikely that cabalamat would attempt making most of those and the others could definitely be done as a web/electron app if desired.

I'd write a web app and expose it on 127.0.0.1:someport rather than electron (which is bloated). Going down IgorPartola's list:

Text editor - I'd probably make this terminal-based using curses. Then I could easily use it on a remote server I'm ssh'd into.

video, audio editor - I've no plans/desires to write anything like these

system widgets and settings - a web app is highly suitable for editing system settings

web browser - far too big a project for me!

terminal emulator - plenty of good ones around already. I mostly use KDE's konsole.

git GUI client - I've recently been adding some git functionality to my catwiki wiki software (a web app) https://github.com/cabalamat/catwiki

crypto coin wallet - web app

chat client - web app or terminal-based

games - I've considered writing a hex-based board wargame as a web app

document editor - my catwiki wiki software is this, I suppose

security focused software a la Keybase client - the last time I wrote security software was a zero-user-interface email encryption system. If I did something like that in future, any interface would be web based
This post made be nostalgic for that period which started in 2002-2003 (just after the dot-com crash ) up to 2008-2009 (when FB and Twitter emerged and when Google "changed" its skin to a full ad company), when everything worth reading was being published on blogs, when people (myself included) still believed in the open web (we were all very busy bashing SOAP) and when it wasn't all about IPOs and earning obscene amounts of money (it's also the period when this website was put online and when its founder was just a respected blogger, LISP-er and former Yahoo employee). Good times.

I've liked the idea of a hub-and-spoke model. I don't particularly like the idea of open offices, but does make communication easier sometimes. The idea of a hub-and-spoke space is that individuals have their own private work space, but are forced to go through one common space to enter their office. So for instance, maybe all the engineers would have to use one hallway, which would branch out to specific team meeting rooms, and then the individual offices would be attached to those team meeting rooms. So the offices would let engineers have private work spaces, but the common areas would make it really easy to have random conversations with other engineers about work and tech.

This is an interesting article, but I don't think it gives enough credit to Functional Programming. The article presents functional programming applied to push streams, which is part of FRP but only one way to look at Reactive Programming.

Thinking in streams is a great exercise but is not a panacea. It's really easy to get started with streams in a toy example, but in real world applications backpressure and buffering are a concern. The consideration of backpressure also opens the push/pull stream discussion. If you are interested in applying more from this article, the API is very similar in Godot2 (Node) [0], which is based on Riemann (Ruby) [1]. (Node streams have configurable backpressure/buffering [2].)

Complex interconnected events can cause a runaway snowball effect if not carefully constructed or bound by limits:

* Elm's "time-travel" debugger is so valuable because it allows introspection through an event chain that may not be linear.

* Node takes a common approach, which is to push data/events through the stream but handle errors by bubbling up the stream processing chain. This Node approach maintains a hierarchy that is relatively easy to reason about.

* React is popular because it effectively is FRP applied to the data model: the JSX view is the function, and the change in data model is the event. Since data model changes are limited, atomic, and one-way this makes React easier to reason about than other frameworks (Angular, I'm looking at you). This concept pre-dates React, I've used it since years ago with SpineJS and Knockout.

Last but not least, when using streams there is an important tradeoff between speed/latency and delivery/processing guarantees, which is enough for its own discussion...

Not just syntax. All of Wirth's languages are extremely poor languages with no possibility to grow them.

He was stuck in the structural programming world and never ever got out of it. Besides, there's no single ultimate Wirth programming language. All of them are re-hashes of each other with random additions thrown in (Modula, Pascal, Oberon, Active Oberon, Modula 2, you name it).

They are small fast programming languages. And that's about it.

> Some of the wealthiest people I know are also the cheapest.

this statement always shows up in these kinds of threads.

i bet some of the poorest people you know are just as cheap. and middle class too.

and in fact, as it turns out, there are cheap people all over the wealth spectrum. i'm going to go out on a limb here and say that being cheap/stingey is actually completely uncorrelated with wealth. it's a character trait like agreeableness.
