What would be the price you and the GP be willing to pay for this ? What screen size do you expect ?

I have been thinking about this lately - about building one for myself. I don't like andriod/ios smartphones and every time my phone breaks down for some non-replaceable component, I have to hunt for a new phone which isn't either.

Something similar to this - http://www.davidhunt.ie/piphone-a-raspberry-pi-based-smartph...
Make it product worthy, with a browser and a simpler os which users can understand and modify. Which doesn't cripple the hw, exposes it to the user to exploit it, is modular so the parts can be swapped.

But then I realize not using a smartphone would be a simpler solution.
Signals take an infinte amount of time to reach a distant observer from just outside the event horizon. Which means we cannot see the event horizon or what is beyond, and we cannot also 'see' the event horizon being formed, or any matter crossing the event horizon. When the star collapses, light takes progressively longer to reach an outside observer, and eventually becomes too dim to detect. The same thing happens with an object falling into a black hole. But since the gravitational effect can still be felt, we cannot also say that the black hole never formed. At all events, a region of spacetime that emits no discernable signals has formed. You can call it a black hole or speculate further about what it is, but the phenomenon is still right there.
Isn't it mutual and hence the other way around? Mathematicians don't seem to care much for wikipedia, sceners likewise. While sports fans might see editing, well, as a game.
I work with a lot of Go (and so I review PRs written in Go), so my favorite extension is one that I wrote myself [0] which corrects GitHub's tab indentation to 2 spaces from the default 8 spaces. But then again, I only have a few extensions and I wrote the majority of them.

the social network can only share as much as you give it, its up to you to keep that content personal and offline. i’m not a huge fan of this concept that people give tons of info to these personal dat selling websites and shouldn’t be responsible for it, it’s the companies that shoulder all responsibility. everyone should be well versed in online sharing

I partly agree with you.

Using weights indeed allows you to fine-tune your workouts more. Want to do 8 reps instead of 5? Just take some weight off. This is indeed harder to finetune with bodyweight progression.

If you talk about bodybuilding, max strength gains, etc, I agree you need to use weights for the fastest/best results.

But if your goal is to "get fit", my personal opinion (or preference) is that there is nothing better than bodyweight. Different muscle groups working together, balance, etc.

I guess it all comes down to personal preference. I got bored lifting weights, but absolutely love those bodyweight trainings. All I'm saying is that it's a viable option where you can build a lot of strength. Is it optimal for size, strength or endurance? Probably not. But it's not something to dismiss either.
This is exactly what I've seen happen in my experience and have often wondered about alternatives. Bridgewater, for example, uses a system that allows for feedback from anybody at any time [0], but I suspect that presents new issues like negative reviews from rival employees. Additionally, a lack of context could result in negative feedback for decisions that actually help the business (e.g. passing on requests to help colleagues with relatively low-value items in favor of focusing on higher priorities).

Yes. Unfortunately, by the time you start to think people are asking for fishing lessons just to get lunch, it can become difficult to recognize a true student.

I started out as the eager mentor, even when it was among my peers in university. But somewhere in my ~25 years of R&D, I started to notice how coworkers would become dependent. They would ask for help on types of things that I knew I had figured out myself, even when I was a novice. They develop the plea for help as a first reflex to avoid any learning tangential to what they consider the task at hand.

So, I found myself swearing under my breath and refusing to be their search engine or man-page. Depending on my mood that day, I might tell them I have no time and they should google it themselves, or I might pretend I don't know the answer either. Sometimes I relished the time to sarcastically school them on the mundane deductions it would take to answer their question from the very screen full of error messages they pasted at me. But, I already knew they would miss or ignore the hint, and be back again next time they stumbled.

Sadly, I think this cultivated impatience leaked out into my attempts to mentor a very junior staff member we had a couple years ago. I could no longer really distinguish "too lazy to try" and "drowning". They found a new job after a year or so, and it was probably wise for them. I am still trying to visualize how I can do better the next time we try to onboard somebody far junior to our current team...

> Make has deeply woven into it the assumption that the product of workflows are files, and that the way you can tell the state of a file is by its last modification date.

I've always wondered whether Make would be seen as less of a grudging necessity, and more of an elegant panacea, if operating systems had gone the route of Plan 9, where everything is—symbolically—a file, even if it's not a file in the sense of "a byte-stream persisted on disk."

Or, to put that another way: have you ever considered writing a FUSE filesystem to expose workflow inputs as readable files, and expect outputs as file creation/write calls—and then just throw Make at that?

This is actually a violation of the "see what is signed" principle.

When verifying an XML signature, you need to only look at the data that was signed, and disregard everything else. The XML Signature standard defines a number of "transforms", one of which is canonicalization, which may or may not strip comments. Only data that has been transformed is signed. This means an application relying on signature verification should never look at untransformed data! Comments are not the only attack source - the XML Signature standard allows "custom transforms" which can do crazy stuff like evaluation of xpath-based filters.

The "see what is signed" principle is simple and has little to do with SAML. Canonicalized data that passed signature verification is the only data that the relying application should look at. The signature verification library should not allow access to anything else.

If I understand everything correctly, my implementation https://github.com/XML-Security/signxml is not vulnerable because it obeys the rule above.

FWIW it's not legal to operate a website in the EU for a business (including sole-traders) without having a bricks-and-mortar address given.

This http://www.ukwda.org/blog/is-your-website-legal is for UK, but cites the EU legislation.

I wonder how these sites work with EU "value added tax" regulations, a couple of years ago new rules came in that need fastidious record keeping - whilst this is "donations" it seems it might be considered "voluntary payments for goods/services" which presumably attract tax confusions?
Then upper management needs to be forthright in their priorities. Have you ever worked somewhere that didn't tell their developers something like "we expect clean code and quality software"? I don't think I've heard of somewhere that owned up to the fact that their primary interest was to pump out software despite a lack of code maintainability. I'm sure that the teams that produce hot garbage for Oracle tell themselves that they care about code quality.

In that case, developers are expected to read between the lines, which is quite an antipattern in doing business with any company. If you're essentially being lied to, the deal can only get worse from there.

Developers having a level of autonomy to address problems is what you consider "going rogue"? I guess it looks that way if I squint, but if developers can't decide on their own to address problems, that's not somewhere anyone should want to work. I wouldn't even want to be the slavedriver who sees their developers who are solving legitimate problems as escaping the plantation. A good manager should, rather than see this behavior as rogue, try to work it in to the existing process. A healthy development cycle should allow developers to allot a level of time or effort to address issues, and even junior developers can know better what needs to be addressed than someone who hardly touches the code.

You're right, going rogue isn't the solution; it's a sign that leaving the organization may be the solution.

There is a balance between the developer's priorities and that of the business. A business that doesn't care about a developer's judgment is totally myopic and self-deluded into thinking that it knows best about the nuanced facets of its operation. Concurrently, developers have been paid to do a job, and if they divert too much from what that job is, that can be doing wrong to the hand that's feeding them. Yet, if they are being set up to fail by the company(e.g. insufficient time allotted to maintenance), they are faced with the choice to "go rogue" in an attempt to save themselves and perhaps the company if they can see a rude awakening up ahead. As much as you may see this as transgression, this kind of situation is ultimately set up by the employer and they are solely responsible. We're not talking about employees doing their own side projects on the company time; they may literally be trying to save the company from itself.

Employees are going to going to exert some form of autonomy even when it's not granted to them. Those who are in positions of power can choose to harness that initiative instead of viewing it as a threat.
It's because there is always lag between the latest .js spec and what is supported by browsers. So transpilers (like babel) have to dumb it down from fancyNew.js to somethingIE6MightRun.js

It is not realistic/optimal to try to write your javascript to be supported by all browsers or runtime clients. It's better to write using the latest spec, and just have it dumbed down for you by transpilers at build time

"To qualify for a 30-year mortgage on a home at metro Denver’s median price, assuming a 20 percent down payment and an interest rate of 4.04 percent, a borrower needed income of $79,181, HSH.com calculates."

"The most recent U.S. Census Bureau estimate the median family income in metro Denver is running just above $80,000, said Keith Gumbinger, a vice president with HSH.com."

Someone making median income can afford a median home? That sounds pretty reasonable to me...

Back in that 1970's developer's paradise, it was not possible to lose a space next to a tab, because we did not have WYSIWYG editors, we had "vi" which has an easy toggle to show white space characters. "Back in the day" everything had a command line interface, and non-developers were afraid of computers. Ah, the good old daze...
No problem, happy to help. Feel free to email me directly (email in HN profile) if you want more thoughts at a later date, I enjoy giving feedback on new projects.

I missed the "skip" button, but I think you get the underlying point. You'll want to accelerate the "magic moment" as much as possible, which is the moment your users grok the value your service provides (and you'll see this in your data as you look at user retention rates for the cohort that hit this moment in your funnel vs. those that did not). You should try to figure out what this is, then obsessively try to remove as much friction as possible to getting to that point.

My guess is that for you it's either a) seeing your coffee page; or b) getting your first coffee donation (probably the second). Either way, remove as much setup as possible to create the coffee page, sharing it to their network, and get money coming in the door.

Cheers!

By doing just the opposite - refuse any job that doesn't have me doing hands on coding at least 50% of the time. I get serious unsolicited offers for middle management while I'm networking. I turn down everyone. If my manager left, I would more than likely be next in line, but I would refuse.

The way I see it, there is a much larger market for highly skilled devs/architects than middle management.

> but often not true for other kinds of workflows.

Examples? I mean, there are some broken tools (EDA toolchains are famous for this) that generate multiple files with a single program run, which make can handle only with subtlety and care.

But actual tasks that make manages are things that are "expensive" and require checkpointing of state in some sense (if the build was cheap, no one would bother with build tooling). And the filesystem, with its monotonic date stamping of modifications, is the way we checkpoint state in almost all cases.

That's an argument that only makes sense when you state it in the abstract as you did. When it comes down to naming a real world tool or problem that has requirements that can't be solved with files, it's a much harder sell (and one not treated by most "make replacements", FWIW).
Only problem with it as i see it, it's closed source.

This to me sounds like a complete lack of self-ownership on your part. You literally sat blocked doing nothing for days, without reaching out to an individual to help with this? Instead you just spammed Slack saying you're blocked?

While I agree that it would have been nice if somebody helped you, you are in control of your own destiny. If nobody is helping you, you need to personally escalate it and reach out until you get the job done. If somebody did this on my team, the first question I would ask them was why the hell they let themselves sit blocked for days.

...and of course my team would have been more proactive on helping you because one of our core values is help your co-worker, but that is besides the point here.

That was my intention, if a company requires that sort of info and invasion of privacy, they are going to be a terrible company to work for. Out of necessity some people will need to work for those terrible companies. In an ideal world, those companies should be told outright to "pound sand" or less politely to fuck off.
Thanks! I used to enjoy doing social media ads for my recruiting business (my 3yo daughter will likely kill me when she's older as she was featured in most of the memes), and I'm still figuring out social for my resume business.

People are more likely to follow a recruiting biz on social (might have a job for me?), but a resume biz is very time specific. Thanks for keeping an eye on me!
No, I found developer quality to be very high at Google throughout my time there.

I think the lack of tests was more symptomatic of bad incentives that good developers were forced to follow. Developers were rewarded for flashy things they could show promo committees, and rigorous tests or well-written documentation.

It was unusual to find code with no tests because a code reviewer will usually insist on at least some tests. But it was common to see complicated behavior with just a single test associated. Or a complicated interaction between components with no end-to-end tests.

There's not really a strict cultural expectation for documentation, so it's very easy to find code that's either not documented, documented inaccurately, or documented unhelpfully.
I think this is just the nature of any open forum where everyone has an equal vote (democracy).

In any large-enough population, there will invariably be a significant non-cognoscenti segment who will upvote this type of content. And who knows, for this segment, this content may be new despite repeated iterations elsewhere.

It seems inefficient, but I'd rather have this type of system than systems that weight upvotes according to karma. This way, at least you avoid polarization by high karma users. The occasional low-quality content is not such a bad price to pay for a self-renewing system.

After the hype dies down, there will naturally be fewer MNIST articles. :)
Because there is usually no or low encyclopedic content, on the one hand, Discogs already exists for that, and because every fan after comming home from a concert checking wikipedia will have the genius idea to set a memorial for the idol, amounting to scribling "Metallica" in a stall.

At SFDC we bought and used internally a tool called Rypple (later work.com) that was precisely that.

As you say, zero impact to people in terms of their performance reviews (which were a topic of discussion in their own, each employee having to write a mini-manifesto for their year ahead) and kinda became a popularity contest where people were giving kudos to their office buddies.

And don't get me started on the people that left heart stickers with messages like "thank you for starting the best company in the world" on Benioff's profile.
I agree that it's unfair to tar the whole field with the blunders of the worst performers. But your comment I was replying to seemed to ask, "what's the worst that can happen?".

This is a big challenge for remote employees. At some point when do you just give up and settle for what you can get done and not worry about what you cannot change. Its a poor attitude but it happens at a lot of companies.
