Right, that's mostly what I think. We might see a lot of individual puzzle pieces open sourced, but not see the top-to-bottom "full stack" overview/instruction set/orchestration tool for all of it. Like I said, you could probably cobble together most of Azure if you tried, but it's like getting a shuffled collection of Ikea flatpacks without any instructions and no allen wrenches. That's certainly a model GitHub could follow here.

> To me, it looks like MS is taking Github in the direction of a hosted service for full Application Lifecycle Management. (For example, add more features to compete with Jira.) Github-Enterprise could possibly eventually overtake Microsoft's own Team Foundation Server as the preferred release management tool.

In terms of that speculation I disagree. I don't see Microsoft adding Jira-like features to GitHub when they can already encourage people to use VSTS (Visual Studio Team Services) Work Items if they want the high touch issue tracking. There's already flows between GitHub's Issue tracker and VSTS, and that seems likely to increase. Which is very similar to the existing separation we already see Atlassian makes between Bitbucket Issues and Jira, with Atlassian working hard to upsell Jira to Bitbucket users with more complex Issue Tracking needs.

If anything, Microsoft is maybe in an even better position to make that transition and/or integration work, given the impression that it never feels like anyone inside Atlassian ever uses Bitbucket's own Issue Tracker day-to-day, yet Microsoft plainly today has teams in both GitHub Issues and VSTS, and needing to smartly straddle the "fence" between the two.

It sounds like Microsoft's intent seems similar with the rest of GitHub-related ALM. GitHub has gotten a lot of its support by being relatively ALM-agnostic. While there are many fans of Gitlab adding CI out of the box, there are also proponents that prefer the competitive GitHub Marketplace and the general ability to pick/choose CI/CD providers or other ALM tools.

Microsoft has already for years tried to position VSTS (and sibling project App Center) as the "best" ALM provider for GitHub CI/CD/Release management/etc. I don't expect that to change with them owning GitHub, and it's only in their favor I think to try to leave GitHub itself appearing relatively "ALM neutral" and leaving the upsell to GitHub's Marketplace.

Similarly, there are rumors/indications that GitHub Enterprise has underperformed in the marketplace versus the expense of maintaining its fork of the main GitHub codebase, and Microsoft's easier option is just to migrate its users to on-premises TFS. They'd likely lose hearts and minds doing that, but it seems more likely than migrating the other direction. I think, solely gut instinct, its more likely they just keep both around and let the users decide, at least in the immediate term, but if one is "losing out" to the other, I would currently put money on GitHub Enterprise as being the one to be canned.
Sorry... in this case by "legal" I meant "will not get you thrown out of the casino"
Also Zuckerburg:

Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard

Zuck: Just ask

Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

[Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one?

Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: I don't know why.

Zuck: They "trust me"

Zuck: Dumb fucks

So "young people are just smarter", and "anyone at Harvard is a dumb fuck"...
The value proposition of IoT is so bad. Maybe I'm old fashioned too, but I prefer things that work and can be repaired by third parties when they don't.

If I'm not mistaken I think what OP is referring to is an apparent emergent phenomena that contradicted theory, whereas I believe GR was discovered through theory (ie Einstein's "happiest thought" was in an elevator shaft).
Even Fortune 500 companies with major R&D budgets will tell you point blank they would rather a handful of decent engineers from Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan, etc. Than the top student from MIT or Harvard.

They are simply easier to manage in day to day operations. And perhaps more adept at handling the stress of juggling a dozen plus projects simultaneously.

The corollary is that for real innovation. Your probability of a breakthrough increases by having a few geniuses at the chalkboard. But most companies aren't seeking Manhattan Project or Xerox PARC levels of radical technological advancement.
No worries sir! I'm similar. I've been a little rough with my tone before and Dang checked me a little bit.

Yeah right on. It's a complicated argument with both sides right to some degree. I'm just not a fan of pure trickle down Ann Rayndian economics. It feels like it's leaving alot of important details out of the equation. I don't believe in wealth creators.
I believe in an ecosystem of human beings where some have the luck and/or opportunity to fill certain needs at a certain point in time of the ecosystem to make more resources.

Neitzsche's argument seems sufficiently abstract that in can be interpreted to apply to what ever group of people you want.

Wagz | Portsmouth, NH or potentially Salem, NH | ONSITE | Full-time

Wagz is a state of the art pet-technology startup with an office in Portsmouth, NH. We are exploring a second office north of Boston, MA in Salem, NH as our time is growing dramatically! We are looking for senior Android, IOS, and Go Software engineers to come help us revolutionize the pet IOT space. There are several positions available.

You will have the chance to work on a variety of new technologies, including (but not limited to) Android Things, AWS IOT, native Android and IOS apps, server-side Go, and more. We have three products on market and three more scheduled by the end of the year. We offer a great package of benefits, including the ability to work offsite several days a week, health, dental, vision, life, and a "take vacation when you need it" policy.

I personally conduct the hiring process, so if you are interested, send an email to engineering-recruiting@wagz.com and let's see if we're a good fit for each other!
Does anyone know of any way you can keep Night Shift on at all times on iOS or MacOS? It seems when I turn on Night Shift, it automatically turns off next morning when it's daylight time.

I think the same things applies to f.lux on MacOS. I would like for it to be at 1200K at all times but I guess that's not doable and it grinds my ears a bit because you can't do so.
Citation for Democrats gutting schools?

I've never heard of a single Democrat for cutting public school funding in my lifetime. That's a far right talking point driven entirely under Republican doctrine since Reagan. The Republican party stopped being a sane party once Reagan came in. Democrats haven't had a spine or a heartbeat since Carter lost by being honest.

We do definitely agree on getting corporate and lobbying dollars out of government. I honestly can't believe that this is legal in a democracy and not illegal in the Constitution.
Beyond the superficial syntax similarities and the fact that Jose Valim was a major Rails contributor I really don't get this Elixir = Ruby++ thing. The languages are poles apart, based on opposing paradigms (FP vs OOP) and data structures (immutable maps/lists vs mutable objects).
Please take a moment to glance as the name of the author before assuming that all voices on the internet are male. Or at least use "they/their" as your default instead of "he/his".

To your point, why does this quote undermine her narrative? She isn't saying she's saw herself as rational and others as emotional. Note that her use of "myself and others" in the quote clearly indicates that she's putting herself in the same boat as her audience rather that separating herself from them.
Certainly fair. I've just taken, quite heavily lately, to the principal of charity.

To that end, the most upvoted direct response to you is a better worded version of what I was getting at. Sunken costs and changing where you are spending your money is my speculation on why things went the way they did. I don't have a solid answer for why this is so, though. At least, not one that generalizes.

To repeat what I think was the heart of your initial question: Why do people form strong beliefs? That is a very good question that I don't think anyone has a solid answer on. Just more beliefs that have strong proponents. :)

So this theory holds for caffeine, not specifically coffee? I'm not sure why, but I was under the impression that it was specifically coffee that could be tied to lower incidence of Alzheimers.
It seems based on this thread that lots of HN people expect tastes (in activities or in foods) to be universal? They're not! Everyone in my family loves fishing; I can tolerate it if I'm spending time with them or if there is boating involved. Yet I'm perfectly happy sitting for hours in the cold woods waiting for a deer to wander into range. It doesn't mean that I'm right or wrong or my brother is right or wrong or whatever...

If you have a strong opinion about eating or not eating fish or meat harvested in one fashion or another, that also is a matter of taste. You and everyone around you will be happier from the moment you accept that.

Draftable | Multiple positions available | REMOTE (worldwide) or Melbourne, Australia | Full-time | A$100k - A$200k | https://draftable.com/careers

We hired a remote engineer from HN earlier this year and that’s working out great.

Draftable makes document comparison software accessible to everyone. We’re looking for two engineers:

- Senior Engineer (.NET, JS) - you will lead the development of our desktop product, Draftable Desktop.

- R&D Engineer - you will work on improving the document comparison algorithms which power all of our products.

We prefer remote hires, but we’re open to an on-site hire in our Melbourne office.

We’re looking for experienced and self-reliant engineers. We expect you to work a full time load of 40 hours per week (and no more) and to be very productive during that time.

We know you have a life outside work, so we will respect your non-working and family time. We don’t expect you to make work your life.

Our tech stack: .NET (mostly C# with some F# and some C++), Python/Django, Javascript/React, PostgreSQL, Redis and RabbitMQ.

We’re easy-going and easy to work with. We’re developer-led and have a flat structure. We are collaborative, and we expect you to take an active role in evolving our engineering culture. We like writing things down. We love Slack. We launch things as soon as they’re ready. We do things right the first time, even if it takes a little longer. We don’t have much technical debt.

More details at https://draftable.com/careers.
While the implementation of the tax may be poor (expecting everyone selling something on the internet to know the tax for 1000’s of addresses) it certainly seems fair that the tax should be paid.

As a compromise, if the only the state tax was due, that would be something.
It's not complicated: the costs of software development are almost entirely in labor. As long as that remains true, older people will be at a severe disadvantage simply because they cost 2-5 times as much as a new hire. Once Moore's Law slows down (or whatever we want to call the current golden age we're seemingly still in), this will change, but until then you're just fighting against exponential growth.
Not sure the fact that cable runs next to train tracks - railway tracks are built on the easiest routes.

I think part of the problem that SFU undergraduate students have with graduate admissions is that most of the students in question will be applying to medical or law programs at UBC. It's one thing for admissions committees to recognize that some universities have inflated grades; it's quite another for them to recognize that an "A" from their own institution is worth less than an "A" from another.
I can attest to this. I deliberately chose the easiest classes and even studied abroad twice because I knew specific professors leading the program abroad were giving out free As.

Fortunately for me, I got my degree without too much torture that many others go through. Unfortunately for me, nobody looks at my nice 3.7 GPA!!!
Ask HN: For founders, is the SF startup community worth the cost?
I'm a founder who left San Francisco in December for East Africa to start a startup that operates in emerging markets. We believe that one of our core advantages is that potential competitors lack the technical and design chops, and access to talent, mentorship, and capital that comes from having worked in SF's startup scene. Once we stand up operations in-market, we plan on opening headquarters in the US, where we will build the core tech and fundraise. One founder would focus on in-market office while the other would be in the US office. SF is our current first choice for the US office, because of the talent, expertise and capital. Nowhere has built more companies we admire. We think that we would build a much better company by surrounding ourselves with founders and early employees of from amazing companies. So far, they have consistently given among the best advice.

Yet many of the folks we talk with who have had to deal with the rising cost of talent in SF (primarily VCs and veteran founders) warn us against the brutally competitive and expensive market out here. We want to build a world class tech company and the plurality of them come from the Bay because of the ecosystem. Of course, it's possible to build world-class tech companies outside of the Bay. But the track record suggests that it's significantly harder. The quality of the talent in SF is unparalleled. But so is the cost.

Other founders considering SF must have faced a similar decision. Is there something uniquely valuable about the SF ecosystem that justifies the cost, even if you aren't inventing cutting edge technology? What variables did you consider? What conditions make it more or less worthwhile?

Or rather --- the age of text-based email clients has really come and gone. The world has moved on. Web or GUI based PRs are accessible to all developers of many different levels and experiences, that is why they have (and will continue to) be the winners.
I would be happy if I went to add a photo to a text message and it said, "Allow Messages to access photos just this one time?" and I confirmed it. And then it turned off permission again after the message was composed.

What I don't like is when you get an app like "SuperPhotoStickers!"[1] which allegedly lets you take a picture, put stickers on it, and text it to a friend. Asks for permission to access texts all the time, and has a service that runs all the time, and later you find your phone has been sending photos and/or texts to a third party without you knowing about it. That is what I mean it is a broken permission system.

In a sane world you would be able to say "only access pictures taken with the App" and only access the text subsystem (SMS/MMS) only when "the App is open and the UI is on the screen in front of me."

Not according to the articles I've been reading:

25.03.2018:

https://www.dw.com/en/on-the-edge-of-the-eu-refugee-flows-fl...

It's not clear how many make it across. But last year alone, officials from Frontex, the EU's border agency, said they intercepted 5,500 illegal crossings, a whopping 80 percent rise compared to the previous year.

During that same period, Turkish authorities told the United Nations they had intercepted nearly 21,000 people, more than triple the number reported the previous year.

29.9.2017:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/sep/29/surge-in-migra...

The number of people arriving, across land and sea borders, has more than doubled since the beginning of the summer. Authorities estimate arrivals are now at their highest level since March 2016, with over 200 men, women and children being registered every day.

“We’re living the days of 2015,” said Pantelis Dimitriou from Iliaktida, a local NGO on Lesbos operating accommodation and support centres for the newly arrived. “The flows have become huge. From around 50 to 60 in early July they are now at more than 200 every day.

2.7.2017:

https://gulfnews.com/news/europe/italy/italy-overwhelmed-by-...

But it is also a reflection of Italy’s years on the migration front lines with little help from the rest of Europe. More than 82,000 people have arrived in Italy this year, a 20 per cent increase over the same period last year, according to the United Nations refugee agency.

Under current EU rules, asylum seekers are supposed to apply for protection in the first EU country that they enter. At the height of the refugee crisis in late 2015, EU leaders set up a quota system to try to distribute some of the refugees from the main arrival nations of Greece and Italy, but it has barely gotten off the ground.

The influx has strained Italian infrastructure — and the goodwill of Italian voters.
Burner + Ad Hoc Labs | Mobile, back end, and dev ops engineers | Los Angeles | Full-time | ONSITE
Burner is innovating at the intersection of software and telecom by offering smart virtual numbers that help users maintain privacy, organize their communications, and manage their identities online. We have a thought leadership position on user privacy and control and are at the forefront of what phone numbers are capable of when treated like smart software rather than dumb directory endpoints.

We are also a founder-led team generating millions of dollars in revenue and "control our destiny" from a VC point of view, while growing well. We have recently hired a fantastic new CTO and are building up our engineering and product teams to further innovate and drive the value and utility of Burner to our users, while also exploring other opportunities. We are hiring a Product Manager (agile, Saas), an Android Developer (Java/Kotlin), and an iOS Engineer (Objective-C, Swift). We will also review strong candidates from other disciplines warmly.

We've been based in Atwater Village, Los Angeles since before it started blowing up and have a great team, culture, and office vibe.

For 90% of applications Django has everything they will need from an application framework and is fairly easy to manage.

If you're in the 10% yeah it can be a pain in the butt. However it's not impossible or even particularly difficult to migrate to something else.
Why does an older person cost more? Either they produce more, or they’re overpaid. The first type is definitely worth finding and paying... I’ve seen companies built solely by 22-year old script kiddies and usually the stack can’t scale. At that point, you’re in a trickier spot because a 40-year-old who can inject some good sense at the beginning of a project is a lot more abundant than a 40-year-old who can lead a turnaround effort on a fucked up stack while keeping the company and stack operational for existing customers.
Yes, if you have any interest in sleep or the role it may play in the onset or progression of diseases like Alzheimer’s, cancer, cardiovascular issues, diabetes, etc.

I’m only midway through it, but I could see how some of the material could seem redundant or sensationalized if you’re not at least somewhat interested. However, the author does a great job of summarizing studies and presenting data when something seems like it could be sensational. E.g., The heightened rates of heart attacks, car accidents, etc. the day we ‘spring forward’ and lose an hour of sleep in the U.S. for DST (whereas fewer cardiac events, accidents, etc. happen when we ‘fall back.’)
In essence what is happening here is that rich parents/kids (or just very heavily indebted ones) are buying their degrees now, which have basically become shitcoins.

X% of employers are still believing the high worth of these shitcoin degrees, and for some reason, the bubble has yet to explode.

It's like, there's no difference in skill between buying bitcoin early vs a valueless coin. But, there is a massive difference in perceived wealth.
Right, it was a good API for its time, especially compared to alternatives, most particularly Java's Streams API at the time.

That said, the number of projects I worked on where this new API would have made things so much easier is staggering. It is a shame we can't just fax this API back to our past selves.

The other big building block this uses is Span<T>/Memory<T> which is recent as in this year. Span<T>'s the sort of huge paradigm shift that likely would never have occurred to early .NET design, but starts to seem obvious in retrospect.
