It doesn’t really matter how discrete or not they are if even if you know about it you can’t do much about it.

I’m also not convinced by a “don’t worry the camera is bad” argument; looking at drone footage online it seems to have plenty of resolution to distinguish people in one’s backyard, for example, and I’d expect those to only get better over time.
I recently moved (fled) from downtown San Francisco to Nashville TN and couldn't be happier. I lived in SF for over 5 years, and there is absolutely a mass exodus of people and engineers leaving the bay area because of extreme ideology, hypocrisy, constant outrage, and the echo chamber that engulfs everything. Downtown San Francisco is a great place to visit for a few days but no place to start and raise a family.
I built a tool to generate JSON Schema from typescript interfaces: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ts-json-schema-generator

The reason for having the schema are that they are language agnostic and there is wide tool support. For example, vscode supports autocomplete and tooltips when you use json schema.
I'd say no. HN doesn't have "enough" chronological order. To find new comments when you're back from lunch, you need to scan the whole discussion from top to bottom.

Here's a demo video of how HN and Reddit could be modified to solve that, i.e. how chronological order could be added to HN:

We miss that during the 80's, psychological operations were being honed, sharpened, and primed for precise effect in the mainstream of marketing and commercialization. Not only did it work, it worked so extremely well that entire departments bloomed around the practice thereof.

The weapons and technologies of mass persuasion and reinforcement were paid for and researched under a for-profit system. It took a while to realize that there were other areas they could be readily adapted for further profit.
Which is a bit of an exaggeration, when you also include the reply:

"To be fair, HTC has apparently partnered with the 3rd party keyboard TouchPal for their device keyboard, who also do an ad supported version. I can imagine a situation where TouchPal/HTC accidentally released an ad supported build instead of the HTC specific build."
Take a look at this line: "growing hoarish under his turban and changing cane sugar into sethulose starch".

I understand the words. hoarish means hairy, and sethulose is an obvious misspelling of cellulose. Good. Lots of wordplay as you say.

But the actual sentence doesn't make any sense. That's the issue. Growing hair has nothing to do with cellulose, and humans don't make cellulose anyway. Plants make cellulose out of sugar - but why specify "cane"? Because it sounded cool to him, but not because it actually makes any sense.

You are finding "character, story, setting" only because you are ignoring any parts that don't make sense, then finding meaning in the rest. It's a form of pareidolia.

The fact that someone made pareidolia in written form? Pretty cool. But don't think there is anything there to study, other than wordplay and sounds. There isn't. And that's why it's the "Emperor’s new clothes”.

Oops I seemed to have skimmed it a bit too quickly. Thank you for the kind reply.
I agree with the ideas that focusing on specific tools is dangerous, and that developers should get comfortable understanding the work other jobs do. But I found the argument by the 10x dev unconvincing, it was too buzzwordy. The dev's talking about real tech, but they didn't argue that those solutions better. The main argument that I saw for not using RoR was that other options existed.
Mass internment of political activists or minority populations, horrific treatment of any who disagree with the state, hard to ignore evidence of widespread abuse of organ harvesting, and you are confounded by people having problems with China?
If more and more groups insist on forcing their ideological agenda down the throats of contributors and users maybe it's time to start hacking on projects that don't feel the need to bring politics into software.
C# was made by microsoft for windows specifically. The majority of programming languages were not. When I started programming I got very frustrated getting stuff to work right. I remember it used to be near impossible to get pip on windows and eventually found some weird unofficial installer.

As I wrote, I don't have any solid proof for why they hired those people. I suppose the counter-case is that the FB partner program people could just have been very impressed with their negotiation counterparts? I am merely pointing out a direction for investigation here.
I would love for humans to plant Red Woods and Iron Woods that would someday be harvested. They take so long to grow that they are not replaced, an ultimate testament to selfishness.
The goal of the project is to give an Operations Team the ability to not have to manage the platform and software stacks being utilized and to give developers the luxury of not worrying on how to scale their application so long as they follow some basic constraints.
I am excited about this project especially as its built using AKKA which I am a big fan of.
Did you just assume that I was harmed by implicit (now explicit) rules? You are reported.
I’d take advantage of this opportunity to start a discussion about a somewhat related article, the famed Blub article:

http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html

> The more of an IT flavor the job descriptions had, the less dangerous the company was. The safest kind were the ones that wanted Oracle experience. You never had to worry about those. You were also safe if they said they wanted C++ or Java developers. If they wanted Perl or Python programmers, that would be a bit frightening-- that's starting to sound like a company where the technical side, at least, is run by real hackers. If I had ever seen a job posting looking for Lisp hackers, I would have been really worried.

17 years later and I still don’t see all those Lisp startups :)

I’d argue that 8) will never happen because the gap between human parsing and computer parsing is too big. Except for a minority of human compilers that enjoy Lisp, most people don’t, so this notation will always be a niche for mainstream programming.
Adopting a SJW CoCk is just the logical progression from their past SJW behavior such as getting rid of the whole fortune database because of couple quotes that some people somewhere might find offensive. FreeBSD is a joke.
" But WeWork takes extra steps to encourage fraternization. Like beer kegs that never run dry.

More than most companies, WeWork promotes the consumption of alcohol as an inherent virtue. Posters on the wall encourage people to have a drink. There are wine tastings at WeLive. Company parties feature top-shelf liquor. Mr. Neumann has a well-known penchant for tequila, and a well-stocked bar is prominent in his office.

On a recent Tuesday at 4:07 p.m., the community manager of a WeWork in Midtown Manhattan sent an email reading: “It’s time to get your creative juices flowing! Join us on the 5th floor to drink some wine & paint a beautiful picture.” Just after noon on Valentine’s Day, there was an invitation to share wine and cake in the common area.

Though alcohol is a social lubricant for some, it can be off-putting to many others. Many women have shared stories of feeling uncomfortable with what they described as a frat house culture at some WeWorks, prompting some to leave."

So office space AirBnB for a bunch of frat boys. No thanks.
The thing is, if you like private property and private contract, this is what can happen to you. If you think any company is within its rights to police speech, then you agree that it's fine for Google to exclude conservative or libertarian speech.

> It doesn't scale to team sizes beyond the point where "individuals and interactions" can drive progress;

Is there any methodology that scales that way beyond the fuzzy and personal "get somebody competent divide the work into small independent chunks"?

Any methodology that treats developers as replaceable gears will have the same failure cases. It's not Agile that is the problem.
Shameless self plug here, few months back I created a project https://www.contenttagger.com that gives you hints for Schema tags based on a parent Schema attribute. You can also validate it with Google devtools + Facebook graph.
Hi, I wrote the article. I agree that I may have been too light on the details about why different technologies should be chosen. Tbh though that is a bit tangential to the point. My point is that it benefits the developer to branch out and learn a diverse set of things, regardless of the details.

They are in the right space at the right time

See this, what does this mean? Elementary education seems the furthest thing from their space. Why not start hotels or restaurants or hospitals or grocery stores? Those have about as much overlap with WeWork (uses physical space) as elementary education does.

The only thing that seems to make sense is that parents at WeWork can more easily drop their kids there? But it seems like daycare would be 10x more useful, since it’s already expensive and hard to find in big cities, whereas elementary school is universal and free. Granted, some people are going to want to pay for private school but that’s a minority of parents, whereas basically all parents of infants and toddlers are paying for childcare one way or another.

I don’t get it.

So, because you and a couple of people who share similar viewpoints left, that constitutes a "exodius" (sic)?

I'd like for you to read up on confirmation biases, and then post again.
It's called injecting some perspective.
I don't see the difference. The process of designing a thing is the same whether it's an algorithm or a pile of gears. Sure real world inventions can involve new scientific discoveries. But most don't, and scientific discoveries shouldn't be patentable anyway.
Docker extensibility is common in the open-source faas projects but not in any(?) of the commercial serverless offerings (Google, Amazon or Microsoft).

Runtime support (upload code not a container) is more common in the commercial offerings that most of the Docker-based faas frameworks, which use a container as the packaging.

OpenWhisk is more flexible than most of the platforms with respect to packaging IMO (Wanna deploy code? Great. Prefer containers? Sure. Wanna use code and a custom image? No problem!)

Event support is more common in the commercial offerings (as they have cloud services for you to use), whereas the "faas" framework seem more bare bones. You'll have to configure event integration manually. Same goes for API gateways.

OpenWhisk supports numerous open-source event providers with a extensible API for integrating new providers. This is more complete that lots of the other projects in this respect.

Over time these features will become default in all projects but there does seem a split in focus between the commercial offerings and "faas" frameworks at the moment. I'm biased :) but I think OpenWhisk has a comparible feature set to Lambda (having been around for over two years) whilst still benefiting from the open-source docker story.
Could you provide a link to your startup's page? I'd like to check this out.
WHY HERE?
This is open source, so "someone" has to run it.

This someone could be e.g. IBM or RedHat, it could also be someone like Adobe that wants to offer a FaaS integrated into their main product.

It could also be your own company, e.g. you could have an infrastructure team that provides it for all other teams.
"True 10x" (tm) is about optimizing at a higher level. Whether it's the choice of tools or the approach to solving the problem or redefining the problem it's about taking a path that is significantly more optimal than the other paths.

If you think can tell within less than 1-3 years then it's probably not. I.e. just spewing up code faster than someone else or using some technology that appears to work isn't really the test. There are those who do things very quickly, then re-do them, re-do them, fix them, all very quickly. A lot of action, not much gets done. There are things that are done slowly, not a lot of noise, but get you to a completely different place. Very rarely is this purely a question of tooling, language, editor etc.

That's not to say that being able to move quickly doesn't have value for proving a concept or prototype some idea, maybe the stability or scalability or maintainability don't matter. But when you're building stuff for the long term those are x10 factors.
My concern with reactor operators is that it's a dying industry due to the challenges in getting a commercial reactor permitted and constructed, along with the costs of renewables driving nuclear out of commercial viability.

With that said, I think there'd be great value in an organization advocating and enabled students to get into these "experience-in-lieu-of-degree" types of jobs you mention. Mike Rowe is doing this [1] as part of his mikeroweWORKS Foundation/"Profoundly Disconnected", but my opinion is this needs to be performed at scale nationwide (such as getting involved with school counselors at the high school level).

Hi there!

Thanks for the encouragement. To be fair we at 1backend don't consider the field that new at all. It's just the old PaaS concept with some twists and reworded marketing!

I personally spent years building microservices platforms at various places and after years of not implementing my insights I decided now the time is right and people might adopt it given the current hype cycle =)

Ok, so how does one actively develop the ability to always choose the right tool for the task? The closest thing I've found is browsing HN and clicking on titles that reference technologies I've heard about in passing, but it hardly seems like the most efficient way.
Rabbit parent, not cat parent here, but I hear "loaf" used to refer specifically to the pose in which the front feet are curled underneath the body, and thus hidden: http://i.imgur.com/Y2bBtBy.jpg

Whereas the Sphinx has its feet extended in front of itself: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f6/Great_Sp... (which is indeed another rabbit sleeping pose; presumably cats do as well)
My understanding was that it only becomes a 'loaf' when the legs get tucked underneath so that they look like a bun with rounded corners. When the paws are parallel out front, then you get the sphinx. See, of course, Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Catloaf/
I'm not sure why it matters how long we've been using FreeBSD, but I've been using FreeBSD off and on since roughly 2.1.

You may be shocked to learn that some people actually do not have common sense. And that there is very little recourse when those people - the ones lacking common sense - decide to harass or intimidate people. Unless you actually _make rules_ about your community, you cannot _enforce those rules_.

So there are no "common sense" solutions to these problems unless you actually spell them out in advance. As an open source maintainer myself, I assure you that we do not do these things "to please some groups" but to have a framework for operating when people who lack "common sense" decide to be jerks and harass or intimidate other members of our community.
It's great to have a matte option on laptops. I can't really control the lighting in a moving train or on a park bench.
This is the exact opposite: It's rules for how to work on code without bringing personal crap into it. Do you want a date? Do you think there is something wrong with trans people? Do you have thoughts on race relations? Nobody cares, check that baggage at the door.
"Comments that reinforce systemic oppression related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neurodiversity, physical appearance, body size, age, race, or religion."

It doesn't take much creativity to recognize the inherent contradiction in this systemic line of thinking.
Sorry, sloppy typing on my phone.

He drives the vision and values of the company, makes major strategic decisions, and so on. He decided to reinvest all profits into the growth of the company for more than a decade, despite immense whining from investors. And he drove the internal systems to be so well decoupled that AWS could spring out from internal infrastructure as an amazingly successful secondary business. And countless other things.

It sounds like you are describing the generic, money-manager CEO that is brought in to run an existing stable business. I don't think Bezos fits that mold.

Even in your own description, you said:

> build a tappable revenue pipeline.

which is much beyond the capabilities of a pure salesperson.

I totally agree that great CEOs need to be great salespeople (the good kind... not the slimy kind). But that is only one aspect of what they need to do -- especially for complex, changing domains like where Amazon operates.
Aren't there prerequisite to a discourse? Like all parties coming together with open minds. Having the intent to seek the truth, not an agenda to win. Using reason and rational thinking over your emotions.

I think lately we're not meeting those qualifications, so maybe it is best not to engage, since discourse would not be productive.
Shall we start with the harassment and domestic violence problem? Or do you want me to pull out the statistics on "native" European populations. At least they don't go shoot up schools....
Agree with a lot of this. I don't think that knowing a diverse set of options is the only factor, but I would argue it's a very important one. Even disregarding the new tools coming out, a developer is faced with the daunting task of learning massive sets of tools already created.
> Comments that reinforce systemic oppression related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neurodiversity, physical appearance, body size, age, race, or religion.

So, there's a lot of "politicking" going on back and forth over this, but I'd like to suggest a specific problem: by attempting to formalize what used to be intuition, you're opening the door for people to follow up bad behavior with legal arguments that it was actually allowed. For example, someone could say something that was obviously meant against a group, and then defend it by pointing to specific wording in the CoC. ("But can you prove the oppression was systemic? Says the person who is obviously acting maliciously but is not obviously part of a system.")
> We know what the best diet is. A plant and fish based diet with small amounts of other meat.

Nope. Fish (most fish) as a central part of diet, will contribute a lot to build up of heavy metals in humans. And what is "small amounts of other meat"? 3x per week? This is basically an omnivorous diet. Compared to the SAD is probably just the junk cut out.

This, SAD-processed, is a very unhealthy diet, compared to a balanced WFPB diet. There are lots of studies to back this up.

> - Companies are making our produce harder to digest as they try and make products with a longer shelf life.

Yups.

> - Eating industrially produced meat (of any sort) is very unhealthy and in many ways unsafe.

Not a problem for those eating WFPB.

> - This entire discussion removes dairy from the equation, which is a large part of the puzzle for most people.

Dairy is a killer. Prolly more so than meat.

Personal taste. It prolly has less phytonutrients. Not sure how this is an important consideration.
I am simply pointing out that throwing around some popular heuristics isn't something a rational person should default to, and that these have their limits as well. What's wrong with that? If I were to run a criminal syndicate, I would take the least probable explanations and make them core of my enterprise due to blindness caused by popularity of applying razors everywhere.

But I don't read all of them, instead I go for another errand. Later, I return ... and click "Get messages" again. But now the orange marks from after-lunch will be lost, right? And only the very most recently loaded messages will get marked?
