The distinction between the two is described in the help/on-topic page ( https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic - be sure to follow the links) and various faq tagged pages on the meta - https://softwareengineering.meta.stackexchange.com/q/6483

The division is there so that questions about design and architecture have a place to get asked that don't get closed as off topic (lacking code) on Stack Overflow. Consider a question like In an agile process, how much work should be done by the PO on a project or feature before presenting it to the team? - https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/3676...

The format doesn't dictate topicality... there are many sites that use the same format. https://cooking.stackexchange.com for example.

I would say I'm about twice as productive too.

Open office is the complete disaster result of an unholy alliance of management trying to skate by on the cheap and agile consultants pimping their latest slogans.

Even without open office, there is so much chit-chat, gossip, politics, posturing (how about a meeting to discuss the upcoming meeting), and other crap that gets swept under the rug as collaboration.

Don't forget that certain personality types just can't handle working from home or in a quiet environment. They'll just go bonkers, so they run around telling everybody else that you can't be creative and collaborate without chatting someone up in the urinal next to you.

The top comment spin is so humorous that you would almost think it's a troll, but probably not.

I hate this business model of using your audience to steal other sites content. Why doesn't Google link directly to the source of the content instead of Pinterest anyway? Maybe they don't care; they did invent AMP, which has some parallels with the way Pinterest works.

Anyway, when I started using DuckDuckGo on my phone to get away from AMP - I noticed that whenever I search for recipes on DuckDuckGo - they generally link to a site called Yummly which is even worse than Pinterest. Please complain to DDG about this if you care!

And speaking of searching on my phone, Apple won't even let me change the search engine string to use "encrypted.google.com" which would have gotten me Google results without the awful AMP links.

My point in rambling on about all these different topics is that none of these asshole corporations seem to want to let me have control over anything. I don't want to live like this. Generally, when I get annoyed, I just stop playing their game. At this point I have stopped watching TV and I have left Facebook, Twitter and Reddit and I hope that you do too.
No sound business model? Quora has a sound business model. The same model as many VC backed SV companies.

No, it's not to simply sell ads. You build something slick and shiny, then you pump VC money into it and you keep hyping (otherwise known as "pumping") until you can get numbers that look good. You can just spend that sweet, easy VC money to buy users and spend a dollar to make 10 cents because of that "growth" you are buying.

Then, when those numbers you are buying (and also all those fake accounts you are ignoring) start looking really good, you go public, the VCs make out like bandits and all those institutional and private suckers buy those bloated shares, trade places with the VCs and slowly ride the shares back down to zero where they belong.
Support for Metered Licensing, Enhanced PDF Attachment Availability in EML Files
There is no complete stand-alone Vue SFC compiler; every SFC compiler is written as a plugin for a specific bundler. The 3 official implementations are the Webpack, Browserify, and Rollup plugins. There's no significant code-sharing between them (and I'm sure there are no subtle differences that will bite you), and the Browserify and Rollup plugins can lag months behind the Webpack one--they still don't support functional SFCs, which were added in Vue 2.5.0 back in October.

So, how does vue-brunch work? It declares the Browserify plugin as a dependency, and wraps it.
Yes, it means "crunchy thingy" basically. The name doesn't have any relation to the project. It's small pieces of fish fried in a dough mantle.

I was jokingly complaining about the spelling because the previous names "Brötli" and "Zöpfli" of similar projects were 'properly' spelled. They don't have anything to do with the name either. "Brötli" and "Zöpfli" are basically types of bread.

While Knusperli is a very german way of spelling a swiss german word. Though, it is what you would find in a supermarket.

Yes, too obscure of a joke, sorry :(

dashboard tools like Chartio and Looker make self-service analytics "easy" so you don't need to write 10 different flavors of the same query. We see this happening every day - our biggest customer has 1,200 analysts on Looker.

The key is how you set up your data warehouse, e.g. Amazon Redshift. What we see happening that data engineering teams provide "data services" to their company, via a set of common schemas / tables.

At the very high level:

- set up two different schemas. A (1) raw schema in which you dump all your event level data. only data engineers are allowed to access that schema. and then (2) an ad-hoc schema that analysts can use to run their queries.

- You move data from the raw to the ad-hoc schema with scheduled transformations / aggregations. Airflow, Luigi, Pinball, dbt are popular tools for that purpose. The tables in the ad-hoc schema need to be well documented so analysts can understand what data is available.

- Give every analysts a dashboard seat and access to the ad-hoc schema. Give them access to "SQL playbooks" that analysts can re-use. If you're adventurous, allow them to create their own tables.

This approach scales from a few GBs to TBs and more.

x264 video codec developer Dark Shikari blogged about [1][2] this "fake sharpness" phenomenon. Early H.264 encoders produced excessively smooth, deblocked video, which made them look worse compared to MPEG-4 ASP (like Xvid), despite former being a newer, objectively better format. Wavelet-transform compressors like JPEG2000 had a similar problem vs. blocky JPEGs.

People's tastes are subjective, though, so it's good to have options.

Job ads are not allowed on HN. From the FAQ:

Can I post a job ad?

Please don't post job ads as submissions to HN.

A regular "Who Is Hiring?" thread appears on the first weekday of each month. Most job ads are welcome there. But only an account called whoishiring is allowed to submit the thread itself. This prevents a race to post it first.

The other kind of job ad is reserved for YC-funded startups. These appear on the front page, but are not stories: they have no vote arrows, points, or comments. They begin part-way down, then fall steadily, and only one should be on the front page at a time.

I had an Alpha Multia back in ‘98. I remember having to scour eBay for the appropriate SCSI adapters since DEC used something proprietary. And even with the adapter, I never got the Linuxes of the time to recognize the HDs.

The key to running NT4 for Alpha was DEC’s FX!32. It crosscompiled x86 code to AXP. Thanks to Alpha’s better design this made my 233mhz 21066 a lot faster running x86 code the my Pentium MMX 233.
It's neither, it's usually a consistency play. By heavily marketing, volume increases, and price gets hiked as needed. Profit may remain the same, but now it is more consistent over the quarters.
I was thinking alliterative being selling to say ... less legal minded folks, random dude on the internet. I don't know how likely it is you'll get in trouble, but if you do it might be an issue.

As for selling to another gov or law enforcement, how clean that money is will be relative to what your government thinks of your role. If you sell to say an unfriendly neighbor government, they're going to look at those proceeds a bit differently than say if you sold to THEM.

Clean for me is your likely local legal issues with the money, and/or your actions.

In the end though provided Microsoft isn't considered a terrible enemy by your local government, that probabbly is the cleanest way to sell, and IMO probabbly the safest morally IMO (granted morally and clean money might not always go hand in hand).

Makes you wonder what pioneers back in the 60s and 70s could have accomplished with modern hardware. What does Smalltalk or Englebert's NLS end up being with gigs of RAM and high speed network connections? What would the LISP machines have been like? It still kills me to think that an OS crash on one of those took you into the Lisp debugger. And it kills me to think that Smalltalk and Visual Basic had a built-in GUI editor and layout manager, unlike the web.

> the entire PLATO system was designed with social sharing in mind, he says, whereas the modern Internet is more fundamentally suited to fetching websites and documents.

> the API was in the operating system and it allowed any app to be social. That was kind of the assumption that the PLATO people had.

Hmm, so why didn't the web emphasize social? Ponder...

Read-only web. The first web browser(s?) were read-write editors. HTTP GET was paired with PUT. But ramp up happened on read-only browsers (Mosaic, Navigator). User input wasn't possible until ISINDEX and then FORMs. Write didn't become part of the culture.

Documents, and separate social. In an ecosystem of ftp, and assorted file formats, and nntp (usenet news), there was a missing integrative piece. HMTL/URLs addressed that. Gopher had similar motivation. HTML was a static document format. But the 'one piece of an ecosystem' model meant social wasn't tightly integrated. If you wanted social, you did news, not WWW. You posted urls.

News (distributed social) plateaued, then declined, and the focus of social development shifted to web sites. I was never quite sure why news development stalled. There was a multi-year period, where it was clear what needed to be done to advance (eg voting), but it wasn't happening.

One certainly could have built a pervasively social system on top of the web. But it's hard for add-on layers to get traction. Even when they were part of the original vision. For example, X Windows' low-level Xlib, was intended only for the higher-level libraries everyone would then use, but those were slow to materialize, so everyone just stuck with Xlib.

Part of why the web worked was its initial simplicity and subsequent feature creeping. The hypertext community was quite miffed that this toy was getting traction, when their various more complex systems were not.

But we never got say a news2://... protocol. It seemed dotcom was pulling the oxygen away from a lot of potential infrastructure-ish projects - perhaps that was part of it.

Anyway, random musings.

As a kid who grew up in Massachusetts in the 80s and 90s, I'd love to go back in time and experience the competing tech that was being built in my back yard before the west coast totally won out. I had friends whose parents worked for both DEC and Wang Laboratories, and had those companies' gear in their homes. At the time I only cared about what games you could put on or write for them, but it would be awesome to poke around on them again as an adult.
You're probably getting downvoted because you misspelled 'outspoken'. Though it fits the pattern, 'outspoke' is not an English word.
From what I'm aware, there are variety of reasons. In China opium use was common for a long time. However, smoked opium is less potent then consuming it in other fashions and generally speaking it was less available and more expensive.
They've probably just noticed people click on them. Media companies often flagrantly copy each other once they see an article theme succeeds in getting readers.
Most consumption-oriented social media is "like an RSS reader". HN is a news aggregator with a forum bolted onto the bottom of the stories.

What is Facebook? It's an RSS feed of your friends and family's lives. Facebook has replaced Blogger et al, which primarily syndicated through actual RSS, because it was an accessible, simple way to a) create a feed and b) allow publishers to retain some control over their content (by e.g. blocking an undesirable consumer).

You had to have some technical competency to set up a blog and an RSS reader, and all Facebook did was fix that and bring the power of syndication to the RSS-incapable masses.

As far as I'm concerned, Twitter's value proposition is that it's supposed to be a continuous, temporary real-time vein on whatever is happening at that moment. It doesn't really do a good job of that filling that niche IMO. The only time I've had an impulse to use Twitter is during something like a live news event, and these days I think something like Snapchat does this better (though they're both infuriatingly difficult to access and navigate, decimating their practical utility).

In practice Twitter has regressed to the lowest common denominator of "microblogging". The thing that continues to give it power is its interactivity. Because the messages are so short and feel so quick, Twitter ensures that people will see our message, react, and that hits our feedback loops ASAP, demanding follow-on after follow-on.

One interpretation of today's Twitter is that it's just the unwashed masses clamoring for a fleeting glimpse of attention from someone they admire. This corresponds with Twitter's early adoption as a celebrity messaging platform for actors (iirc Ashton Kutcher was the first Twitter user to get 1M followers).

The only time Twitter's current incarnation is useful is when it allows the everyman to get a message to someone else who would be guarded, e.g., common citizens potentially inciting a credible presidential campaign as in the infamous Russ_Steinberg tweet [0] .

It's depressing to think that so much behavior hinges on this rabid attention-vying, but it's also impossible to deny the power when some otherwise-inaccessible influence is established. I assume this is why people continue to use it, despite the fact that 99% of tweets drop into the void.

Pension is not bonus. You don’t get to modulate the amount depending on how generous you’re feeling in a given year. Workers have as much right to it as to the wages they’ve earned and saved into a 401k or IRA. It’s the enployee’s money; the employer is just a steward. Failing to pay a pension is the same as robbing a former employee’s house to take back the wages you’be already paid them.

It's not really comparable to how monstrous the tax situation with ISOs are. If you exercise options to buy the stock, you have a tax liability, even though you get no cash from the transaction. It's economically inefficient in the sense that it ties employees to companies that they'd otherwise not continue to work for. This has no analogy to the crypto market.
It occurred to me, reading a few days ago that Trump had suggested that some drug dealers should face the death penalty, that maybe that should apply to some of these pharma executives.

I don't actually support the use of the death penalty, at least not in cases like this, but it is astonishing that we allow thinly-disguised kickbacks to doctors for prescribing addictive drugs. That's as much pushing as what the neighborhood drug dealer does — and more effective. This scam needs to be shut down yesterday.

How Tony Robbins Sets Goals
My general impressions are that Mark Zuckerberg has just gotten really bored of running the company.

Bit of a clickbait title, but considering how much bad press they've been getting since the last elections, I would expect the CEO to be front and center of it.

Facebook may not be failing but it's glory days are way past (and have not really expanded beyond the social networking sphere - with probably Oculus their only expansion beyond their core focus - unlike say Google/Alphabet).

But one thing that truly baffles me is Comrade Mark's incessant courting (bordering on being a puppy dog) of Emperor for Life, Xi.
(HN user seanmcdirmid in a previous thread said that he could potentially be a bit of a closeted sinophile)

1. He asks Xi to name his child

2. He then plugs Xi's book

> But are we really supposed to retweet more than we like?

HN itself suffers from this problem. There is apparently a heavy "controversial" penalty applied to articles that get too many comments relative to their upvotes.

But, commenting is most of HN's functionality. I comment fairly frequently; I certainly don't upvote articles anywhere near as often.

> If it was in equilibrium before the tax, the addition of the tax would favor google.

If it was in equilibrium then they would both have the same margins. Something has to be different or everything is the same.

And by far the most common reason for a company to have higher margins is that it has higher risk. Otherwise the investors would already be investing only in the business model that makes more money without any countervailing disadvantage whatsoever, regardless of the tax.
I say don't get rid of it but give me the option to remove it from my search. There's a bunch of sites I would rather not see in my search all the time.

Come on Google give me the option.
> What would the LISP machines have been like? It still kills me to think that an OS crash on one of those took you into the Lisp debugger.

Sometimes I think a lot of people do use LISP machines. It's just called emacs.

I joked on here once that I think the end game for GNU/HURD was ultimately to become a LISP machine via emacs, and if you look at some dev setups, that's not too far from what macOS and Linux are for them today: a place to run emacs and a web browser.
I collected those TSA inspected slips when I was flying through SFO a lot. However I did not get one every single time.

I have a lot issues with this project and I’m on my phone so I can’t outline them all. At quick glance, a few comments have already addressed some of these concerns.

But my biggest question is WHY did this person feel it necessary to do this project? From first glance, there is no way Crystal is producing the traffic required to roll this solution. There are dozens of companies that can solve this problem for a few hundred dollars a month and have handled all the problems discussed in this article at serious scale for their customers.

The most irritating part is that the developer states in the beginning why he did this: because it’s fun.

Disclosure: I’m a founder of company whose core product is a real time analytics platform for web and mobile. Of course I’m going to recommend “Buy” for a small company like this in a Build vs Buy analysis. But when “professional engineers” say they’re building projects “because they are fun”, a lot of people suffer.
