A lot of people are cynical about the whole thing, and while I wouldn't expect to get any actionable information these things are gold for your career if used correctly.

If you can ask an insightful question that is also non-threatening and speaks to things the CEO is worried or cares about you will leave an impression. The biggest impediment to getting promoted is simply being known by upper level management. For most workers this will be the only time they are able to speak directly to C level executives. Come prepared and use it as an opportunity.

Note: this doesn't mean complete softball questions like "We did great this year how much better will we be next year?". Your questions need a very slight amount of edge to them. Its a fine line to walk. This may sound cynical but the best way to accomplish this is to know the answer in advance, this way you can ask what may sound like a question that could put the CEO in a spot but in actuality the CEO is able to provide good news. The answer should not be obvious to everyone in the room - put some leg work in.

Show HN: Using RedisLab's ReJSON module to store Go structs
Everyone left?
I've used it to moderate success on an 8 month React project. I originally started the project in ES6 and then migrated it over to Typescript. It generally works well with React, aside from a major pain point which is that it makes it difficult to compose with higher order components.

If you are working in your own bubble with few outside dependancies it works very well. I have been learning WebGL lately, and have found it extremely useful in that regard. Things get hairy dealing with external libraries with often flakey type definitions.

I would still use Typescript on new projects where I can. I have come to accept that I will often just need to use "any" in place of a proper type. There is the temptation to spend a lot of time creating complex types with generics but I've found it to be a can of worms. I'm always looking for new ways leverage the type system, and feel like I often hit dead ends.

Generally I think using Typescript to be an improvement over plain ES6. It catches a lot of bugs, and allows me to refactor with more confidence, but it is very far from ideal.
Metric system is beautiful. Here’s a little poem

1 litre of water weights 1 kilogram and fills a 10cm cube to its brims. At 0 centigrade, it freezes, and at 100 it steams.

Let’s try imperial units.

1 gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds and fills 6.8in cube to its brims. At 32 farenheit it freezes and 212 it steams.

Yuck!
I’ve very happily used it for a Node/Express server and API project. I very much like have a typed system for that side. I much preferred having a type system for working with database models (for example in MongoDB it was a pleasure). I also liked the structure it imposed in that end.

A good build system and tests can but don’t have to be overly tricky to set up and support improves all of the time.

I’ve tried to get good projects going with React but unfortunately many packages haven’t been typed (though it’s getting better).

I definitely prefer it for any work with data. I don’t know if you’d consider it a benefit that you can break out of the type system if you need to do so.
The the extent rent control has an impact, it'll be negative. If rent control with serious teeth was ever passed, it would become a fundamental cause of high housing costs (or other, worse issues, depending on how it's implemented)! And I think in specific markets (San Francisco in particular) it may have more of an impact that you realise.

But you're right that the issue now is zoning and building codes of course.
My most ever viewed medium post was about Ghost back when it launched. I remember talking one of my former customers (singlehop) into being one of the major tier investors in the kickstarter campaign. Nice to see you guys still around and kicking :-)
The only reason we're even talking about this article is because of your outrageous number. When folks who recognize how these kind of measurements actually are done say, "this seems extremely wrong" you should definitely expect some pushback.

To be honest, this reads to me like a reddit user angry about a site change trying to make a sensational article to protest it, knowing cynically that even if it's very wrong it won't matter, the headline is too sticky for reddit to ignore.
Also as far as security is concerned it appears to me that a lot of people are deploying technology that they simply don't understand. This is not just a problem with Docker but with apps from ecosystems running on npm and pip.

You can build images securely with Docker but it requires building them yourself, using private registries, checking carefully for vulnerabilities, and testing. If you don't want to do this, pay somebody else to do it right. There's no free lunch.
This is a regional issue and it boils down to the fact that micro-managing what people build on their own damn property has had negative consequences.

Some readers unfamiliar with the matter might conclude based on your post that Khrushchev somehow managed to solve the problem. No. In most places, you had to wait a couple of decades (or longer). I left USSR at the age of 36; we , the family of 4, occupied a 160 sq ft apartment (with "partial conveniences" - you probably know what that means), which we inherited from my grandmother, with no chance of getting anything else in a lifetime. We couldn't buy an apartment either, even if we had money (we didn't) - "cooperative" housing was not available. BTW, I worked as a project lead in a military research center back then, so the situation was not due to low status or something.
Here's an article that provides some details (in Russian, sorry): https://masterok.livejournal.com/2892813.html

EDIT: BTW, would it be a good idea to organize AMA thread for those who'd like to get some first-hand account of what the life in USSR looked like in the 60s,70s,80s (all aspects, including technology)?
The fundamental interests of the various groups aren't necessarily fully aligned, are they?

E.g. it may be the case that rent control and other roadblocks increase the cost of housing in the long run (bad for anyone new moving to the Bay Area), but it certainly benefits the current occupants of rent-controlled housing.

That's one reason to be slightly skeptical of the label 'minority' organizations—it's unclear whether all minorities have the same interests at stake. In particular, minorities who currently live in below-market cost housing have markedly different expected payoff from a change in policy than minorities who currently live outside of the city.

Certainly, good politics and making nice can smooth over some amount of disagreement, but is there really a mechanism right now that could make everyone better off?

I, too, would like to live in a world where:

- Minorities and/or lower income people aren't priced out of the city

- ... and will have enough units to live in in the future

- and widespread construction so tech workers or other immigrants have cheaper rent

- the character of our neighborhoods aren't gentrified away

- and it isn't too expensive to build

...but experience as engineers tells us that there is always a compromise to be made when you ask for everything. The political fight here is who is will end up compromising, and how much.

Exactly. One of my favorite movies.
Sounds reasonable. And I'd add that a house is not only seen as an investment but also a safe investment, so people are going out and leveraging themselves through a bank loan to 5x their downpayment. I don't think I could buy anything else that big with such great interest rates.

> but if incomes are low

For most people, housing swallows every bit of the income difference and then some. The difference between making $90k a year and, say, $60k a year doesn't look so bad when the housing costs are 5-10x cheaper.

If your goal is to own a detached home, then the costs are so disparate that most people who could buy a house in the Midwest tomorrow won't earn enough to own such a place on the coasts in their lifetime.

A low-income applicant has a nonzero chance in a BMR lottery, which is better than their 0% chance in a market-rate building. There is a logic to it. Unfortunately the thinking usually stops there, rather than considering how to raise the chances overall.
How does making company impossible to track me not protecting my privacy?

And I think there is a cognitive gap in your argument: I am a user, I am not a company, I am not trying to sell anything to anyone. So why should I be empathic towards marketing? Ads, marketing and tracking does zero, if not negative, good to me. And that is why I will have ad blockers enabled at all time.

Whether it's evil or not doesn't concern me. I just really don't like them.

Again, care to explain why is there not privacy benefit?

I wish I could upvote this twice. Auto scanning containers should become the default process for everyone.
Why does the market price in one city need to be several times higher than in another? Why do so many of the high-paying tech jobs need to be concentrated on the west coast instead of more distributed? Are the benefits of that concentration truly higher, and truly purely rational "path of least suffering," in order to justify all the costs of it?

You also make an distinction between what consenting adults agree to in contracts and what those same consenting adults do in local governance and regulation. But why wouldn't they have the right to say "we don't want buildings over three stories here," say? Why is that necessarily "unreasonable" yet a landlord deciding to raise someone's rent 40% wouldn't be?
> People should be means tested every so often

This would create disincentives for seeking a higher salary (because an increase in salary might be offset by getting kicked out of your BMR unit).
I haven't either. FWIW, myself and one of your cohorts at Mozilla had a phone call with Intel (a while ago at this point), and while there were no lawyers on the line, the engineers we talked to sounded very happy about what we were doing.
I could totally be wrong about this, but my impression is part of the reason terrorist attacks in the Middle East are less visible in American media is they don't fit the narrative of the rest of the news. Classically there are supposed to be two native groups in the Middle East: Terrorists with a political agenda and unworldly innocents who just want to raise their olives and apricots. The terrorists are supposed to be rising up against the worldly and technologically advanced West, so it doesn't make sense for them to be blowing up the cafe on the other side of town.

> It is a sad fact of life that the best outcome for everybody is to let the economically productive take first pick of any available resources

That is not a fact of life, it is simply a hypocritical way of legitimizing monopolistic advantage. What one defines as economically productive will unequivocally align with the groups one favors over others.

Power is not natural, it is created and reproduced, and naturalized beyond the realm of critical thought by false claims to the facts of Life.

Does life really as facts? Which life?
> I doubt the YIMBY movement is going to solve the problem, because they have alienated many lower-income voters.

I think you're right and part of the problem is reflected in your comment. YIMBYs are supremely confident in its diagnosis of the complex housing problem: it's rent control and other impediments to the free market. They are so confident that it's literally at the level of flipping the bozo bit[1] on low-income and minority housing activists and attempting to speak on their behalf. They think the answer is so obvious that to think otherwise means you're being manipulated by rich white NIMBY homeowners.

That's understandably a bit insulting. It's led longtime housing activists to note that YIMBY has a "white privilege problem... They don't understand poverty."[2]

Meanwhile housing activists are saying things like, hey, maybe it has something to do with, I dunno, massively defunding the major force in constructing affordable housing for the poor and working class (HUD)?[3] Perhaps the income disparity is so great between low-income renters and tech workers that there is a wee bit of understandable skepticism that market-rate development alone will bring down the market price to something the working poor can afford?

YIMBYs need to do a better job of listening to and understanding the legitimate concerns from these communities if they want to be successful -- not attempt to talk over them (literally[4]) or rush through legislation that gets patched up later after protest.

I see a lot of discussion of YIMBY policies like building more market-rate housing. My intuition favors these kinds of policies, but when I've tried to find high quality evidence that they actually achieve objectives like:

- Lower housing prices overall

- Lower housing costs for low-income households (heading off the concern that only building market-rate housing could hypothetically lower the price of luxury housing without meaningfully reducing housing costs for low-income households)

- Fewer people have to leave the area because of high housing costs

... I haven't been able to find much. What are the best sources that say that YIMBY policies and especially pro- market-rate housing policies actually work? Or the converse - that affordable housing quotas or similar policies tend to make housing less affordable overall.
Every time this discussion comes up, someone points out Austin as if it somehow validates the idea that housing is expensive everywhere. But, no. Austin is expensive, but very few people live there. That's why I provided the statistic. Forget individual cities and look at the macro number: more than eighty percent of urban Americans live in affordable metro areas.

I don't know where you're coming from with Pittsburgh, where the average home price was $125,000 in 2017.

If somebody wants to make the argument that housing prices are a calamitous problem for tech industry employees, that will be supportable. But most Americans don't work for the tech industry (I would not be surprised if most programmers don't work in the tech industry).

Yes there is - you call it what it is, a failed Epic. Pivot and see what you can salvage before moving on.

As for the why did this change / previous design wasn't broken - you're abstracting away the interface and systems from the careers which built them. We must endure constant change to allow new generations space to fail and grow. A cynical perspective would say that careers aren't made through maintenance work.
>Something like 1/3rd of the population lives in the DC-NYC-Boston corridor. Throw in the West Coast, Chicago, etc. and you're looking at a much more national problem.

That just prevents the vendor from locking down the software. It doesn't force them to update it in a timely manner.
The new design hasn't worked. In particular, when browsing a subreddit, the first page or so of posts will load, but that's it. The "Next" button that used to take you to the next page is gone, which rather limits what you can view. I think its supposed to be infinite scrolling, but that simply hasn't worked, if that's what is supposed to happen.

Make it work. Make it fast (or pretty). That order.

It tends to isolate people into self-reinforcing communities, many of which have two things in common: They have an enemy that they demonize, and they admit no wrong.

Not all communities are like that, but when communities (and now that I think about it, especially ones where your comments can get some kind of point or reward) get big they trend towards that. Possibly because those behaviors are low-hanging fruit in terms of your comment earning points. Points feel good. No one likes to admit it but they do.
The effort it takes to make a site like this is a tiny fraction of that involved in "going after" dozens of dodgy ICOs.

It is very much not a "by definition" truth that the people who, say, happened to snag nice tech industry salaries for their coding abilities (or their visionary decision to process credit card transactions online, or whatever their particular thing is...) will be more "productive" and make more "resources" out of having a house than people who happen to have lower salaries.

I would say speech synthesis is governed by clear mechanics - and it's not the IPA, it's that the output comes out as a waveform, which has a structure that informs the algorithm.

Note that we have great raster-based deep visual effects, but vector is... not there yet (not saying it won't be) - vector is less structured than raster, so the choice of algorithm is less obvious.

As for well-defined criteria, I don't think that's really quite the right standard, I think the correct standard is that there is a way of metrizing success on a well-ordered set (like the [0,1] interval), even if it's noisy.
