I got it, but I'm not sure how you will succeed where countless many likewise projects with similar goals have failed. I really do wish you luck here, hopefully you have some secret sauce to succeed where others have failed.

Sketch is great as a design tool because it doesn't try to be a production tool (unlike say Illustrator which is more of a production tool than a design one). That difference is super important, as you don't want to limit design iteration with production requirements, nor do you want unpolished design assets making it into production (same with code actually).
We use the bug tracker for coordination and collaboration. If you have a customer-affecting bug or a stakeholder-facing feature you’ll use the relevant task to discuss it, but we certainly don’t let the bug tracker dictate how engineers spend their time. That sounds like hell.
Okay. How about pro-efficient markets? Because certainly markets completely unrestrained leads to rent seeking.
none. A company can own multiple brands.
It looks pretty much like a standard 'B' class.

And by the time it will be in the showrooms it will probably look even more like it.
I don’t use it terribly often, but recently when I started using KiCad I found that it’s very handy for block operations. I can bring up the right click menu without lifting my left mouse button or even moving the mouse in any way. There that button is, right under my right hand, nice and convenient.

I gather the key was introduced to help computer newbies get comfortable with using context menus since they may not understand right clicks.
It doesn't appear that the atom is 1 pixel, but is in fact quite a bit larger than this: there are lots of elements in the image which are significantly smaller than it. So what gives?
With multiple repos, how do you solve the issue that the private dependencies installed by package managers are not themselves under source control when you edit them? They are in /vendor or /node_modules or whatever. It's easy to pull them down and of course, for other people's dependencies, this is fine. But say I pull out one component of my app that's used by multiple apps. I set up my private repo or maybe the package manager works straight with git. But when it pulls the dependencies down, it doesn't pull the git subdirectories and so that code is not under source control. I make edits, test, then I have to copy that code back to its original repo, resolve any conflicts, and check it in. If I need to make a change, I have to do that again. If someone worked on that code, I have to pull that and merge it in separately. Even if I manually pull it myself in the right place, I'm still dealing with a git repo inside a git repo but the two are unrelated so many tools won't work with the inner repo. Short of writing a bunch of custom scripts, is there a standard way to handle this situation that I assume anyone with multiple repos that share internal, private dependencies has?
As much as everyone loved to hate on Flash, it was brutally effective as a web motion design tool and has yet to be surpassed when visually building interactive experiences.

I've seen designers with almost zero coding skills build incredibly immersive and creative web pieces. There was a whole generation and genre of web content that has vanished and never been replaced - praystation, flight404, Hi-ReS! and so on. Processing is similar in spirit but has only filled part of the niche.

I really hope Haiku revives experimental, interactive motion design on the web. While Flash was inappropriate for delivering marketing text content, I see the genre's value as being a standalone artform.

The difference is that multirepo large project dev and dep mgmt are problems solved today with existing, widely used tooling. With monorepo, I’m DIYing scalability onto a system not designed for it.
That's a little bit tautological and a little bit misleading; tautological because widely-known beers have nationwide production and distribution and so of course they're produced by big companies, and misleading because unlike unlike self-care products like Axe and Dove, the different beer "brands" owned by major brewing firms tend to be run out of different breweries with different practices; they're different products, just with shared financing.

And, obviously, within any one local market, there will be far more better-known regional brands, often not owned by any big corporation.

How free is a monopolized market? If a regulation outlaws monopolies, does it improve or impede the market's freedom?

Regulations that improve market efficiency are good. Regulations that impede efficiency are bad. In practice, we do need regulations because real-world actors are not optimal rational agents.
Wouldn't it make more sense to simply assume that anything one posts to the Internet could potentially be broadcast to everyone they know and published on the front page of the New York Times? I don't understand why people think the content they post to a website will be kept private, especially if not keeping it private maximizes shareholder value.
"Quantum leap" is typically interpreted as "big leap" but I believe the true implication is more like "indivisible leap", in line with your quibble. A Turing-complete computer is a "quantum leap" ahead of a non-Turing-complete calculator. A warp drive is a "quantum leap" ahead of a reaction drive. You either have all of it or none of it.
Even if the information was available, most consumers don't study the entire supply chain of a product or service. We trust legislation to keep poisons out of our foods and punish cartels.

The copyright of the movie script & audio track extends to the subtitles.

Possibly diffraction, possibly JPEG artifacts, possibly camera movement. Tough to say without more details.

Looking at it, my suspicion is diffraction. But I don't know enough optics to be sure.
Someone who is your friend and then becomes your coworker is still your friend.

Someone who is your coworker and then becomes your friend is likely not really your friend in any real sense, unless-and-until you leave that job and they bother to remain in contact with you.

It's not a question of following some flowchart; it's a question of whether a given person values your relationship with them more, or values how they could get ahead using the information they've learned about you more. This fact is generally illegible for current coworkers, but mostly resolves out once you leave that job—the people who valued you personally keep in touch.

This fact is also generally legible for people who you meet outside of work: people mostly don't bother to get to know you unless they [expect to] value you personally. (Or they're conducting some form of long-term industrial espionage. I don't envy the people important enough to worry about this.)
I'm one of the original developers of Zulip. The long comment I'm replying to is a somewhat rant-y critique of Zulip, but it's basically valid. We honestly have a hard time communicating the stream/topic paradigm, even though in some sense it's just forum/subfora.

I encourage vanderZwan and others to come to https://chat.zulip.org/# to talk to us. We're real people. We like the app we've developed, but we know it's far from perfect, and we especially know that our marketing could use some constructive feedback.
@bigjimmyk3 brought up a great point. Most consumer routers can't push 1Gbps fully. Also, I am actually routing through two routers. The first being the AT&T supplied router/modem combo, then that flows into an Apple AirPort Time Capsule in bridge mode. All CAT6 cabling.
Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience.. For what it's worth, it sounds like your edit was fine (what you described is actually the preferred way to map divided roads) and should not have caused any issue.

I'd love for you to give it another chance! A few of us do monitor the changeset discussion feed in Slack, and try to speak up when we see new users being mistreated.
Yea, I hear you. For me, Apple Music randomly pauses my music when it is on bluetooth or ipod dock every 60-90s. Googling it revealed that I am not alone and this issue has been going on since the introduction of Apple Music app. Every release I try again, but no fix so far.

This is IMO from here on out...How aware are the various species concerning the things around them? We can guess without having a PHD or going into the blackhole of philosophic debate. Flies don't contemplate the feelings of other flies, they just react. Mice have the capacity to care for their young and be tickled and learn maze routes. Some ravens and primates have passed the mirror test. It would seem awareness is many shades of gray and based on anatomical complexity. Consciousness is more of a term loaded with magic dust from all the woo woos and religious folks but it can be simplified to awareness of awareness and recursively so. I think recursive awareness will emerge given the right simulation mimicking biological anatomy. The feeling of pain and pleasure is where it gets interesting but that is probably just a low level motivator and we are so high up we give it emergent "qualia".
Even if everything they do today is intentional and quantitatively optimal (color me skeptical), the site is still changing as the world changes and their user/"product" characteristics change.

The intentional things they do tomorrow will be different and may address issues like users becoming apprehensive about interacting when it's not clear who will get an e-mail saying "Psst... Hey... We thought you should judge what User has been up to..."
I really appreciate your comment.

I have been pushing hard for our team to implement sentry.

I have implemented JS logging for all of our AJAX interactions, but having sentry 'coalesce' everything into a single view, as you know, is immensely useful and actionable.
I’m not against companies making money. Instacart should be compensated for the service they provide. So just tell me “this delivery costs x dollars” or show me the percentage you’re charging me for the order “10% of total” so I can make an informed decision about how much I’m paying to have my groceries delivered. Instead they hide the true cost of the service that I’m paying for. I have no idea if I just paid $10 or $50 extra vs going to the store myself. Really this is the least of my complaints. If the service worked well (ie actually told me what was in stock/out of stock instead Of replacing items with a bunch of stuff I don’t want) I would have a lot less of a problem paying a little extra.

Devil's advocate...

Brands can be a mnemonic that helps customers quickly recall relative quality experienced in previous purchases. This may vary across brands, and my experiences with Dove soap don't tell me anything about my experiences with Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

Brands are often silly and misleading and I try to avoid them, but they aren't inherently malicious by default.

Any medium that can manipulate can also inform.

I believe the term originally applied to electron energy level transitions within an atom, which only vaguely correlates with anything one might call distance.

The interesting thing there was that the electrons existed only at discrete energy levels, and the transition between them appeared instantaneous.

It sounds professional to need permission to spend time on something? I typically associate professionalism with the model where you’re accountable to the functionality, impact, quality, and health of your components, with an EM supporting your negotiations around scope and timelines, and letting you budget your own time.
Looks cool! I wish I could play around with it more, but I already used up my 30-day Sketch trial.

They may be falling into the short term trap of wall street. With all the praise on Jeff Bezos recently, he will have to do anything to not take a step back and keep up with wall street’s expectations.
This all depends whether you trust your ISP more than Facebook or not.
Any changes you need to make to internal libraries you install via package manager would need to be made to those separate repositories that house the libraries, and then those changes would have a release made (generally this is done through a git tag, and using semantic versioning). Once you update the version, your package manager will allow you to install that update to the other places you're using it, so all you need to change is the package file.

It might seem like a pain to do it this way, especially if you're rapidly iterating on a library—it might be that your library is not really mature, or even used by more than one repository, so it may not even make sense to have that library in a separate repository to begin with! But once you do have a mature code base, semantic versioning is a really sane way of managing dependency updates for the N number of other projects which use your library.
You seem to misunderstand the point of advertising.
Nice blog post, but just as a heads-up, he never actually defined what "JIT" stands for in the post...
From what I can find you’re right, sort of. The “sort of” is summarized here:

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/emdr-taking-a-clo...

So, now to the bottom line: EMDR ameliorates symptoms of traumatic anxiety better than doing nothing and probably better than talking to a supportive listener. Yet not a shred of good evidence exists that EMDR is superior to exposure-based treatments that behavior and cognitive-behavior therapists have been administering routinely for decades. Paraphrasing British writer and critic Samuel Johnson, Harvard University psychologist Richard McNally nicely summed up the case for EMDR: “What is effective in EMDR is not new, and what is new is not effective.”
You’re right, this was a bit harsh. I’m sure lots of good people work at instacart, and this was not intended to seem like I’m excited for anyone to lose their job.

I guess a more accurate statement would be “now that I’ve discovered amazon prime now is available in my area, I’m excited for the competition between these services to offer me a better quality product at a better price”.

Sorry if I offended. Cheers.
But the thing is, I don't think it maximizes shareholder value. I would engage more with Facebook if my actions were quieter than if not. I don't really care that anyone can see it but broadcasting it is just crazy.
New Standards for Preventing Browser Hijacking
There’s a long history of attackers compromising popular web destinations, and exploiting those resources for monetary gain – the user populations are sometimes more valuable than the data on the compromised service.

Placing ‘exploit kits’ on compromised pages, and hitting their users’ with browser exploits or downloads continues to be popular, as is conducting ad-fraud. Cryptocurrency mining is yet another vector for attackers to monetize their hacks.

The problem is this; how does a browser verify that the code it has received from a website – is the same code the organization released to production?

The use of secure HTTPS communications – over TLS and SSL – prevents some attackers, such as those carrying out man-in-the-middle attacks from malicious wireless access points, or your local network. However, there’s a much larger attack surface upstream of HTTPS protections, Load Balancers, upstream enterprise components (an explosion with microservices trends), and the application servers themselves. Any of these components present a pivot point for attackers looking to exploit customers – because they can all introduce code before those connections are protected over the wire with HTTPS.

What we could use is an addition to web-standards, one that allows organizations to produce verifiable client-code, and browsers to validate that code. Long term, the dynamic aspects of JavaScript and modern development practices – such as manipulation of the Document Object Model at runtime – via WebSockets, Web Messages, contents of state in LocalStorage, and Ajax calls, mean that these efforts need to rely on a subset of JavaScript, safe from unintended injection attacks. Quick and Dirty - think GPG signatures.

Is there any work being done in this domain?
As noted in the article, Facebook has changed its News Feed algorithm to prioritize content from friends and family over publishers. This combined with their stated goal to increase moderation of all content should reduce perceived toxicity and increase relevancy. That's the theory at least, though like you I have yet to see it borne out in practice.
+ extra long text;

To date, the strongest technologies that can be deployed to protect against these attacks are insufficient. Some technologies are on the right path – SubResourceIntegrity (SRI) promises to help organizations manage the risk of including 3rd party JavaScript includes – or those from load balancers. Googles’ Caja project is showing some promise in producing the security assurances that a verification scheme would rely on.
These are showing some promise – but the industry has yet to comprehensively focus on verifiable build-of-materials protocols for code delivered to web-browsers. We could enable the types of applications that depend on client-integrity, for example, the use of End to End Encrypted Chat is only secure from these attacks if a specific version of a web-application can be identified, verified and tested by trusted experts, and only that version allowed to execute.

I like this about perforce too. Another thing I like is that I can easily substitute subdirectories with other ones, or mask out directories I don't need. I can swap in the new code for a single module into a legacy version with a one line config change.

I also get the ability to use the depo explorer to poke around at absolutely everything that folks are working on. The search function in gitlab is basically a joke compared to this.

Unfortunately for perforce, git/gitlab seems better in basically every other way. It took me 2 years to have anything nice to say about perforce, my regular development flows we're just that painful.
It could also be that the younger engineers are engineers by training, while the more senior members of the team are Phd's in the field.

What I'm trying to say is that Phd's come from an academic research background, while engineers come from a product focused background. The deep learning field is still dealing with a lot of unknowns, counter-intuitive responses to modifications, and pure experimentation. The engineers might just not realize the need for continued experimentation, and, for them, it may just feel like an undesirable waste of time to fiddle with parameters (as in, taking away time from developing the actual product).

It's an alternate point of view, but something that I experienced.
> Instead of each product being distributed and marketed separately, Unilever can simply dump a couple of pallets of all their goods at once, and they can easily introduce new products by just dumping it on the grocery stores complete with marketing materials as part of a normal delivery.

Is that how it works? I always assumed grocery stores give shelf space to what they themselves pick, not "whatever you multinational corps want us to advertise today". (?)
This involved producing a state vector of 500 elements and evaluating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a 500x500 matrix on a CDC 3500 computer with approximately 35k of memory. To invert the matrix, he would need to read in a handful of rows and calculate the inverse of the matrix incrementally. No small feat.

Interestingly (at least to me), I can't help but put this into context by reflecting on the other pieces of software I'm familiar with that were developed in this era. In fact, the main one I do know does essentially the same maths operations as yours, and is also still used today. It's a little bit of code that basically underpins modern mechanical engineering and its name is derived from NASa STRuctural ANalysis.

I wonder if / by how long you beat them at developing what is fundamentally an FEA engine with modal analysis capabilities? :)
That's evidence nobody knows what they're doing, not evidence that people couldn't benefit from knowing what they're doing.

PPTX to PDF Conversion, Improved Slides Cloning and Images Rendering Using .NET
I totally agree. I just today shipped code that lets clients off board, nearly two years after launch.

It is really hard as an engineer not to complete a feature, but for a small scrappy saas product that's exactly what you have to do.

I liken it to building a bridge while your clients are walking across it. You want to be fair enough ahead that they don't fall in, but not so far you take them the wrong direction or build paths they don't go down.
The upshot here is that there is ultimately way more control over the issue than both American football and boxing have.

Played right these guys can reduce the risk significantly because the rules of engagement aren’t guaranteed upon entering the ring. With boxing and football, you have a much more stringent set of rules to follow.
Doesn't properly quote shell metacharacters. but at least it is a website for generating an 'openssl req' command, not a site which generates key/csr files!

Edited to add: The best way to quote shell characters for any POSIX shell is to:

- optionally, if all characters in the string are in a whitelist of shell safe characters (ASCII letters, digits, dot, underscore, hyphen, maybe a few others), pass it through as is. Otherwise,

- Replace each single-quote character (') with the sequence '\'', and then surround the string with single quotes

I learned this from the git community.
