It's fine, just none of the reasons you gave is an actual business reason. Basically you moved to Angular2 because everybody else around did, and it would have been harder to recruit and to keep developers, and to interact with developers of other companies.

They're perfectly valid reasons, but they have nothing to do with the quality of tool, or of the product, or with the cost sustained to develop it. Basically you had to move on just to stay exactly where you were.
I have been single for about 5 years now. Earlier, I was moving around more looking for better career. Now, I am more stable with a good job. I wanted to say, I want to be in one. Obviously, I don't "need" one just for the sake of having one.
Although it's worrying if it's partly due to women being less involved with their children, on the face of it, I believe this is a good thing for both fathers and their children.

Largely, I think it's a sign of the times. My generation's fathers came from an era where "hard work" was still considered a necessity for happiness. My own father as well as most of those of people I know work and worked very hard. Technology, the economy, and society changed significantly from the time that our fathers grew up to when we grew up, and we sons saw our fathers work countless hours, leaving us to wonder how life is even worth living if it's made up of overtime hours and a series of useless meetings. Despite my father being the type to overachieve in the workplace, I would not wish that kind of lifestyle on him. I know a lot of men my age who saw their fathers work slavishly and realized that it's not worth it for them to spend their early life working to promote someone else's excessive success. I'm sure there are women out there who feel the same about their labor in contrast to that of their fathers, although women are also working more than ever(outside of the home) so it's not as much their issue as that of men and their rapidly changing role in society.

It's fine to criticize the Mac, but using the marketing phrase to do so makes no sense except to say it's false. If it had a double meaning that would mean other computers were... behind the Mac. How would a double-meaning on the phrase make it sound like the Mac was behind other computers?
Honest question... how is this happening? Apple has 123 thousand employees (assuming whatever I just read is correct) and has the largest market cap of any publicly traded company. They're sitting on way over $200 billion. I would think they have the people and the money to make everything AMAZING, but so much of what they are putting out now seems... I dunno, just meh.

What are all those people working on? I don't think it's fair to expect them to reinvent and innovate the heck out of everything all the time, but after reading this I can't help but think "what are they doing?".

They have SO SO MUCH. So many people, so much money, so much everything, but... I dunno, from where I sit I don't see much interesting coming out.

I could be wrong, maybe I'm missing some things they're doing. I don't mean to say they're not doing anything, but with all they have, it seems like they could be doing so much more. Or am I wrong?

>I have not experienced this. Every 4GL/5GL/wysiwyg in my decades ended up with some specialized user type learning the syntax of dragging blocks or whatnot.

There have always been power user types in small and large organisations who are not developers but can create simple solutions, mostly using point and click with some expressions, macros or SQL added in. The ones I have personally met have used dBase, Excel or Access (one of them a non-tech CEO).

Of course they had to learn how to do it. But it didn't take them years to learn nor is keeping the skills fresh a full-time commitment.

I think this is largely a disagreement over definitions. Can something that doesn't involve writing loops and mutating variables be called "building business apps"? I would say yes, but I understand how reasonable people could disagree on that.

You're arguing against a strawman. In most cases, yes the manager probably is using wrong judgement, but there are valid cases where an employee would be disclosing information that could be used by competitors.

And I'd argue, the employee is tremendously valuable if that is the case, and probably should ask for a huge raise :)

What seperates ideas from viewpoints essentially? I would guess largely how they dearly they are held. Another factor was what it did to existing ones. It undermined authority in both economic/balance of power sense and in "claim to being right". The church could not save them no matter how much they prayed nor how saintly their lifestyle. Nobility could not protect them - nor even themselves. It wasn't an enemy to be faced by big budgetted knights riding out to slay those who raid and pillage. It left a vacuum for growth of other forces while the society had not collapsed.

It had an interesting cultural remnant so embedded that nobody notices it - desensitization to skeletons. Nobody reacts to skeletons in an elementary school classroom or doctors office in the west.

Yet Chinese variants of video games widely censor their apperances despite other brutality. One in a moba notably changes a spell icons from skeletons to a tortured bald man - more graphic to us but not them. China does have their own hangups but it highlights how weird it is fundamentally that we are okay with dead bodies reduced to their very core and reassembled. Keep preserved other internal organs around small children and people would ask what is wrong with you. The unacceptable ethics in sourcing were the main driver for the switch to plastic if I recall correctly. Cheaper now but they started when the fine details were more expensive and at risk of being less accurate.

Maybe that’s the problem itself, they have too much of everything; they’re not hungry anymore.
That’s pretty true for me. Deploying one kind of laptop makes life easier for me as the de-facto IT person. I don’t have the time to research what kind of Windows machine would be best to deploy because there are actually hundreds of them. Apple offering just a few doors has made it easy to pick one and stick with it, although it’s pretty clear that the value of the machine considering its specs and price is pretty low.
Sounds like a great working environment.

I think you;re missing the point. Not being cynical or semantically pure. Least ways I don't think so.

Nothing wrong with drinking buddies or casual friends at the local cycling club or wherever your hobby interests lie.

But they won't be true friends in the sense of people you could call on for advice or assistance if life has just presented you with "a challenge".

What has surprised me over the years is how poorly I can predict closeness - both with myself and others. People you'd think were your closest friends can, and do, disappear when you have sudden need. Fairweather friend probably is derogatory but I guess they only get called that after some shitty event? Here, we probably are into semantics. :)

Conversely I've been just as surprised by people who didn't seem that close but went above and beyond to help some situation.

> seems like a great way to convince yourself that you're an unlikeable person with no friends

I have no idea at all how you arrive here. :)

Creativity and innovation don't necessarily scale linearly with size. You can have loads of money and loads of employees but that doesn't automatically mean you have the best products.

Plenty of big companies stagnate and decline after long periods of growth - as companies grow, corporate structures get convoluted, inefficiencies arise.

That happens. It doesn't need to a standard format like that however. Some command like tools add a porcelain option that produces output for scripting (ie no ansi color codes, easy to parse, etc). That works well too.
It’s amazing how bullshit stats delivered by Tesla are gospel, but when Monsanto or an oil company cook up self serving nonsense, we’re collectively outraged.

There’s no litigated suit yet, but there are plenty of settlements, including the class action referenced. I’m sure Tesla has a noxious arbitration clause that makes litigation difficult.

Personally, money is a truth maker in these scenarios, and the folks stuck holding the financial bag for Tesla are insurance companies, who are raising Tesla rates for a variety of reasons that are creating losses for them. As this feature is in broader use and Tesla continues to succeed in making their computer’s failures a driver responsibility, those rates will go up more.

Apple becoming the thing they rallied against in the early 2000s is a sad state for the company despite its earnings. But investors are aware that they need to get ahead on something to keep that going at least.

When Microsoft’s Surface series looks really attractive to me after 15 years of OS X and Mac investment, I’m not sure if Apple really can pull ahead without a massive game changer. Incremental changes so far are pointing to IOS application-ification of the entire Mac ecosystem.

No, I don't think it's just moving the goal posts if the difference between learning one or the other tool is measured in years.

But I think it depends on what sorts of problems and solutions we're talking about. I don't believe for a second that all types of software can be created with this sort of end-user oriented wysiwyg + expressions tool.
Yes!

Technology has always been about increasing efficiency. But it's always been expensive as R&D requires wealth. It makes sense that the primary benefiters of tech are the asset class who fund them.

The outcome is that there are real tech contributions to society but only as side-effects to return on investment for the asset class. Eventually, the goals diverge, as the primary objective of an individual or corporation holding any amount of wealth is to increase it.

The counterweights to that trend are open government research, and open-source tech. Encouragingly, much of technology is information itself; and information wants to be free.

I think there are already a few subgenres of Cyberpunk. It can be seen easily after reaction to recent trailer of Cyberpunk 2077 game

People either love it (cause it shows the 80s atmosphere and is basede on pen&paper rpg Cyberpunk 2020 from 80s), or hate it, because it's "not dark enough", and it doesn't rain all the time, so it doesn't resemble Bladerunner.

I quite like it so far.

According to Max Pondsmith (the creator of the p&p rpg from 80s) - Cyberpunk is "high tech - low life".

Parallelism is large part of the answer to question of "how do we make this thing as fast as hardware allows" (most people will add "easily" to that). Or "as fast as our users demand" if it makes it easier to understand. The use for that comes with scale, there is a one caveat though: it is often impossible to add this as an afterthought to your program and to programming language. If you choose programming language (or architecture) that does it poorly, you are digging yourself a hole you won't be able to get out of. This is main reasons why it is important even for cases when you don't need it right now.

It's a slow process moving over to 3.0, but people are doing it.

Swagger Inspector helps most with this process. SwaggerHub has an easy 2.0 to 3.0 converter for APIs already defined in 2.0.

government controlled future

What I find amazing is that anybody would utter that phrase and not consider it a "cruel joke" in and of itself. Government is antithetical to Freedom and self-ownership, and there's no particular reason to aspire towards a future where everything (or most everything) is controlled by the government.

That is even more true when you realize the truth that "the government" and "the corporations and wealthy individuals" collapse into the same thing in the end.

There will (probably) always be battle between decentralized power and power that aggregates in the hands of entities like corporations and governments. Everyone should keep this in mind, and always remind themselves that both governments and corporations are a threat to Freedom, autonomy and self-ownership / self-direction.

Disclaimer is probably the word I see misused most often on HN.

A simple rule of thumb: unless your statement is appearing at the end of political ad or work of fiction, you most likely want to use "disclosure."

More simply: just leave the word out and make your statement. You can write "I work for company X" without putting "disclosure:" in front.
