It is very difficult to make such assessments. I don't think it's impossible, though the time to make an accurate assessment may take a while.

Solving a problem may be a useful guide. Find someone who can complete some specific task reasonably well, and even if you don't know how to do that task yourself, you may be able to make an assessment amongst various practitioners. This is easier to accomplish for simple tasks than hard ones (say: running a 100m sprint, or deadlifting 250 kg), but is the principle at the heart of, say, Jakob Nielsen's usability testing.

The problem is that there are domains in which tasks are complex, the time to determine successful conclusion is long, etc., etc. In this case, you may need to farm out the evaluation process, or look to evaluate institutions rather than individuals (say, in education, or medicine -- and there are reasons that the collective evaluation approach has validity for each, though also for adjusting for student population / case mix). The general problem of audits or programme assessment exhibits this.

My point isn't that assessments are easy, simple, straightforward, or not prone to their own issues. Only that there does exist a possibility in many cases for making valid assessments of service competence without specific competence in the service being assessed.
Already thought about this. But a) the application does not require any internet connection, b) while it is possible to just get a global domain name and redirect that locally to the local server, this would require my server to hijack all DNS requests in the local network. Which I don't want to. And I don't want users having to setup DNS redirects themselves.

Edit: And don't get me wrong, I'm totally for TLS on the local network; but there should be an easy way for users to permanently mark self-signed certificates from a local address as secure.
Bitcoin gives us a way to transfer value which is censorship-resistant. That is BIG.
Never heard it until I moved there, thanks for the info.
thats because they are bullshiting. elsevier charges $5000 for open access which is supposed to cover its internal cost and then some. Nature is probably accounting here its various promotional / PR events and conferences as part of the cost of the article, which is unethical anyway, since the science should be popularized based on merit, not on the amount spent to advertise it.

I have Wernicke's aphasia. It's a symptom of something larger, which gets in the way of work more, but the aphasia is difficult.

It makes processing questions difficult, so with presentations I may have to suddenly end when I realise I can't understand what is being asked.

Talking for long periods is also an issue, as my brain will start issuing words that are only vaguely related to what I think I'm saying.

I've usually worked around it by having a junior dev I'm mentoring accompany me to take over when it happens.
At the height of the Instacart craze in my city, I was at a grocery store (as a customer) when an instacart shopper walked up holding bok choy and frantically asked “Is this collard greens??”
In Santa Barbara I’ve herd (geeky) people refer to grid-north and grid-south to refer to directions along the axis that US101 and State St follow.

That's the problem: WF and Target pay minimum wages, and that seems to be OK with the OP. Paying more than minimum wages is the problem. S/he wants everyone to be poor.

Wifi has supported that kind of login for ages (15 years?) at the protocol level, without fucking with the traffic in a MITM fashion. OS support was there already for XP and iOS 2.0.

Amazon can't reduce margins without fundamentally changing the nature of Whole Foods. If they lower margins they will leave their current segment and enter a lower cost segment, with the corresponding changes in service, offerings and overall customer experience. They could do it by subsidizing lower margins in the short but not the long term.
To cause a short you would need to be able to get inside the motor and nowdays you can buy fully sealed IP68 brushless motors (or even IP69K at a higher cost) for your attack drones.

I'm not sure if it's exactly the same features but I've had success with https://simplemde.com for rich Markdown entry on the web.

I like that it's usable by people who want to click buttons -- and that by showing users both the formatting and the Markdown that caused it, it teaches how to skip the buttons in the future. At the same time, if you're a Markdown user doing everything on the keyboard, it's completely unobtrusive. Everybody wins.

Super helpful to learn about Go using my existing understanding of NodeJS. Keep it up! Thx
Your new blogs
They seem like a pretty good employer to me.
Scaling parts of the application independently from each other. If traffic spikes in one part of the application (e.x.: your image categorization web app was posted in a cat forum) more nodes can be added to that one resource to handle the load. Another reason could be worker processes that ran intermittently at midnight every day (e.x.: to email users top pics they missed that day).
Amazon Prime Now... Is that the thing where delivery is "free" but where we are supposed to "tip" the driver ?
Not so. The author praises economic efficiency, but understands its downsides and thinks some of the transition costs could be paid by four companies that are actually evading taxes other companies pay.

There aren't more of them for the reasons given in the article - they've been allowed to extend their monopolies so freely that now investors won't touch possible competitors 'cause they know they're already crushed. Extending a monopoly (actually, it's market power, not monopoly that matters) is illegal. But the U.S. decided these were their thugs, so they wouldn't touch them - just let them extinguish a competitive marketplace in area after area as they metastasized. That's how the U.S. has violated the principles of free trade and abused its economic partners, for decades. Now, the domestic cost to the U.S. itself is becoming clearer.
When I decide about a tool/language (I have learned now dozens) I just think in the HARDEST task that I could possible anticipate. Also, I do some basic stuff. In my case, I try to see how well is to interface with RDBMS.

I try to do it with them and then decide.

So, in short, build a mental "benchmark" that is representative to help to decide if X is right for you
I’ve more commonly heard anecdotes to the opposite conclusion; receivers of free work often value it little and feel entitled to request improvements, while paying users value the service enough to pay.
I'm not a doctor, but AFAIK it's best to just get an IV straightaway if you're really dehydrated and continually vomiting. The pain from an IV is not bad at all and it seems beneficial for children and everyone else to be able to tolerate a minimal amount of harmless pain.

I believe most people are seeing this wrong, there a few issues here.

1) Google is defining standards

This isn’t a drive for web masters and users, it’s our brother Google telling us what’s good and what is bad. While they often fail on their own standards. But hey, they can’t fail to pass, but you cant.. no expections besides big G.

2) We’re focusing on SSL

This isn’t about SSL, but’s about point one.

3) misleading

Reading some basic website that is just a random one page html site, doesn’t care about it at all. This gives basic users( the ones we’re thinking are too dumb to demand ssl) the idea this site is not safe.

Real users think two things;

Safe or not safe.. they don’t understand the gray and now we’re saying Not Secure. A lot of people will think this is not safe, no one is around telling them why this appears as no one in the real world reads this blog besides us.
That's a valid point, and something like this might be a solution (i.e. serving the client JS from a public site with valid TLS certificate and connecting to the local network from there) -- however, I don't want my application to be dependent on an internet connection. This is something you should be able to run in the literal lonely cabin in the woods.
> And that's before we count the fact that half of Amazon's retail business, isn't Amazon at all.

What does that mean?
Most of Walmart's business isn't Walmart either, it's their suppliers' business, and Walmart gets a cut. With FBA and drop-shippers, Amazon gets a cut.

Amazon has just recently started a push into brick-and-mortar-stores, and less recently got into local delivery.

The consumer is harmed by all the services and goods that never appear; because it's clear newcomers who looked like competition would be crushed if they tried, or were acquired instead, early. All the dogs that never barked.
The fantasy is that low income people without cars will be attracted to mixed use developments where all their needs are in one place. But middle and upper income people want that too, and that drives prices up. We own a condo in the Philippines with retail downstairs and a mall next door and prices have tripled in the 6 years since we bought. In traffic congested Manila mixed use is not just a luxury, it's a necessity.
At $100/yr, which includes video and app subscriptions, and shipping, Amazon can't offer too much in the way of discounts before the warehouse-club aspect is irrelevant and is just "competing on price"

Wow, ok, I give up. Fuck trying to understand why people downvote on here.
I find that there is a certain casual helplessness in the tone of most people - not just youngsters - when they talk about how much governments and corporations actually know about them. I would say there are primarily two camps/ schools of thought on the topic: the first believing that privacy does not matter, and the second - while assigning privacy a certain value - thinking it a lost cause.
It would require you to run outside services to support it, but you could most certainly rig something together that lets each "installation" claim randomsubdomain.domainyoucontrol.com, phone home with the local network IP of the "installation", phone home the Lets Encrypt DNS-01 details, and then get a valid certificate for a domain that points to the local instance.

> Go's refusal to embrace this is a huge pain point. Dep is a decent start, but without a community actually doing things like releases, changelogs, and all the other things that go into a solid ecosystem, it's a half measure at best.

Go has indeed embraced it and is working on `dep` the officially sanctioned dependency manager.

It's under the official golang github repository.
I didn't want my 4 year old unnecessarily traumatized. He was frequently sick and had to see doctors regularly. He had enough baggage over that, and was later diagnosed with a genetic disorder.

I knew what I was doing. If a parent doesn't know, sure, get the IV. But if a parent does know and wishes to spare their child some pain, I see no reason that should not be supported. The comfort of my children mattered to me. I cannot imagine that it wouldn't matter to most other parents.
I'm confused. Freeways are, in fact, free. Both in movement and in cost to use. If a highway charges tolls, it is not a freeway. If a highway has traffic lights, it is not a freeway.

You may be conflating price with cost, but the two are not the same. The government funding of the cost of freeways means that the price is free to all users.

I often see time.Parse as a common complaint - but my code is much more readable when I can see what the date format looks like, rather than trying to interpret the cryptic syntax which differs from language to language.

It's sure not perfect, and it's impossible to please everyone but I think it was worth the experiment.
Do you have the IP of your server on your local network ? Is it fixed (always the same) ?

If so, that I would try something like this :

- get a domain if you don’t have one

- configure a subdomain (like myhomeserver.mydomain.tld) to that IP on the DNS (A record)

- get a Let’s encrypt certificate using DNS validation

- install the certificate on the local server

I haven’t tested this with certificates, but we used to do this back in the days to avoid configuring local DNS on some small companies networks
Well that explains the fucked up nonsense of the time format function used in Packer Templates.
I guess it would be remiss to not mention that most Ocaml users shy away from the object oriented side of the language. Not because it's not well done (it is), but because modules work a lot better for many of the uses cases you'd want classes for.
One might understand an extra-hostile stance against Java applets, having witnessed tortured attempts to keep a vendor's applet running when that applet required a very, very specific (and even then very obsolete) version of Java 1.3 incompatible with some other awful software's requirements. Breaking other, innocent software would have seemed like a pretty fantastic deal, in order to reduce future applet pain.
It's categorically different. The arrow is in the opposite direction. The tech industry's private siloed stacks are built on top of that public infrastructure and are an elaboration of it. Whereas the publishing industry's walled gardens are the foundation upon which public research is built.
Ten years ago the quality difference between Whole Foods and a Kroger/mid-tier-chain was something akin to the contrast between a US grocery store and a Soviet grocery store in the 1980’s. The big chains have closed the gap.
The average Mac OS application varies wildly - from Garageband to Safari, it's not entirely consistent. Windows applications look terrible by default, and the main problem is that there are so many different versions of Windows applications. A Windows 7 application looks entirely different to the same application running on Windows 8 or 10.

Also, the Discord interface looks entirely different than Microsoft Teams.

Microsoft Teams: https://www.windowscentral.com/sites/wpcentral.com/files/sty...

Discord also allows advanced users to theme it with ease, which is another good thing about it.

You could use service workers to aggressively cache the client for offline use. And maybe have an insecure version served from the application as a fallback.
This would be ginious!

Stuttering and stammering since childhood. Went to a speech therapist when I was a teenager and it did help a bit, but it hasn't gone out completely. I still do it multiple times a day. As others have pointed out, phone calls, interviews and presentations are the worst. It was a huge psychological block when growing up, especially talking to girls.

What worked for me was that I read a lot. And it opened my mind. I realized that if you are good at something, and if you can excel at it and provide something of value to someone, you are going to do well in life. Also I realized that due to my speech problems, there are somethings that I may never be able to become or achieve, like a smooth talker. So I decided pretty early on, that I need to focus on my strengths and make them so awesome that my limitations are overshadowed by them.

Since I can't talk much without stuttering or stammering, I keep quiet most of the times. This has mostly led people around me to believe that I am a reticent guy who keeps his focus on the work before him. Another thing that I do is not open my mouth until I have something really concrete to say. The argument that I am going to put out, is par often well thought out, so that I don't have get into a talking situation with someone.

Even taking interviews is a tough task.

All in all, it hasn't turned out as bad as I thought. Life is still good. :)

It's only natural that coming from such terrible mess as javascript ecosystem author is trying to solve problems he encountered in past.

I wrote comment to him:

It's only natural that you're trying to find solutions for problems you encountered in past.

But exploring new technology this way leads to absolutely natural mistakes.
You're are worring about wrong things.

Dependency management
This problem is not (and never was) in such terrible scale as in javascript.

You can forget about this problem while you learn go.
I suppose that dep will be released offically when you will really need this.

Asynchronicity
I did the same mistake as you: I thought that channels and messages are similar to Actor pattern in Erlang, Akka.

Don't try to think about promises, futures and other abstraction when you programming in go.

In fact, you need learn synchronicity now, golang already asynchronous in its nature.
Ever since I creepily got an unsolicited email receipt after swiping a brand new credit card (new account), I started paying cash whenever I see a Square console.

I always wonder, are the people who work on these features totally oblivious to the creepiness? Do they think every human with a credit card (or a phone, or a face) should be tracked at all times, in all situations?
The difference is in the network boundaries. I write most of my code as microservices, but it would be incredibly easy to wrap it all up into a single binary.

It's not uncommon for go code to have one binary for separate microservice functions (see OKLog). This way you can change between a microservice, or a monolith (ish) with a CLI flag.

Yeah, I had the same feeling when we used it once. It isn't clear what the tip should be for, if they're just delivering something and delivery is covered. I did notice that the Amazon Prime Now delivery person walked up all the steps (25) to my front door and put it right there. Regular Amazon deliveries are always left in the driveway or partway up the stairs. I could see giving some tip for this added effort, and the convenience for the customer. But that's just my experience—for customers who get the same service/convenience from both types of delivery, this reasoning wouldn't apply.
Errors that were more informative than "Oh u made a boo boo :((" would be useful.
cloudflare didn’t invent this or make it normal. It’s always been common to terminate https in front of your “actual” server and with re-encrypt to the “actual” server or (very common) ... don’t.

Cloudflare may have made it more common for the most basic kind of site (with their easy setup and free tier) but at the same time most of those sites probably didn’t use https anyway.

The reasons this has been done are performance (specialized hardware/separation of concerns) load balancers/firewalls needing to decrypt to route/enforce policy (that doesn’t need to imply termination but it often goes hand-in-hand) and protecting keys from your app server (think of it as like an HSM - if your app server gets compromised you probably don’t want the TLS private key to be leaked. Again you could reencrypt with a different key but often this hadn’t been done.)

The threats for last mile network fuckery (e.g. consumer ISP) are quite different then on the backend. Google has to worry about nation states messing with their networks and so they’ve had to reengineer end-to-end encryption within their network. As an end-user you just sort of need to accept that this isn’t within your ability to control or know.
Dunno about the other ones, but this one (the one you're responding to) could be because it's against the guidelines:

> "Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading."

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

It's best to just roll with it, I think. Follow the guidelines and post as substantively as you can. The population of HN is large and diverse and you're unlikely to be able to figure out why each and every downvote (or upvote, for that matter) is handed out, and even if you could, you may not agree with why they did so or think it’s fair. They can be useful as a guide and an opportunity to imagine how the comment may come across differently than you intend. But at the end of the day, it's the nature of the beast. Use what you find useful and let the rest slide.
