I couldn't be more thrilled with vue.

Having learned with react, I think the component structure and updating are wonderful. But the baggage of the React ecosystem made it tedious to add to projects. What if I don't want to use webpack and npm and babel?

As this author notes, Vue just drops in and works.

I can use it in existing projects. I can use it in experiments. I can use it with my PHP projects. I can use it without a server to compile anything.

It's been a pleasant experience and the tools I've built with it have been refreshingly stable.
The z1d.6xlarge is a great match for what I was just searching for... I'm looking for a spot to park my 16 core 192gb SQL Servers, which have licensing for exactly 16 cores. I was looking at the 32 core, 244gb r4.8xlarge instances and trying to figure out what to do with the unused cores!
I recently got an HP Envy 17t. It’s working perfectly for me, on Arch Linux + KDE/Plasma. I configured it for $20 more to have an Inte wireless card. The Intel wireless is working excellent on Linux. Sleep and wake-up works perfectly fine too. Secondary things like screen/LCD backlight control, keyboard backlight control, etc — all worked 100% out of the box with KDE/Plasma on Arch. I’d recommend it.

It’s an excellent machine. The Intel wireless chip in it is “Intel 7265” — it uses the open-source “iwlwifi” driver. The machine I got also had the i7-8550U, an 8th gen Intel chip with has four hyper-threaded cores that has a TDP of a mere 15 W. It also had a 512 GiB PCIe SSD from an obscure brand called “SK Hynix”, 16 GB DDR4 RAM, and an NVIDIA MX150 GPU (with 4 GB of graphics memory) in addition to the integrated Intel UHD graphics that comes with the i7-8550U.
You obviously shouldn't rely entirely on security through obscurity, but obfuscation can absolutely be an important component of defense in depth.

I'd be curious to see what a math prof would have on this.

Any particular reason that you prefer Vue over Angular seeing as you have had experience of both?
Off topic but I just want to say how happy I've been as a Backblaze customer. B2 is a fantastic product for my backup needs, and their hard drive stats have always been handy when selecting drives.
Funny that you link an article whose title is "OAP, 84, paints magnificent masterpiece - but has never had an art lesson in his life" but inside the article, we have "... Former toolmaker Ken Small worked seven hours a day for three years to produce the extraordinary reproduction of Canaletto's famous work."

My argument is that 'working 7 hours a day for 3 years' should have been the title of the article, not the effortless perfection suggested by "...but has never had an art lesson in his life".

> What matters is that the kid brings a lot of hope and joy to people.

I disagree. The article brings clicks. If we're to bring hope, let the focus on things that people can work with. You can't become 11 years old. But if you learn how the kid practised, challenges he faced, etc, you have something to build on if wish to get to his expertise level some day.

If that sounds like pure envy, then I'm happy to be the villain of this story.
I started looking into Vue just because I looked cool and its good to learn new stuff.

A few month later I got myself a smartwatch besides most of the work was getting around the tizen framework I made my own watchface in Vue - and this was/is a pure joy. http://wecoso.org/~mit/stuff/myClaw/
There’s another piece too. Practically they’re a backup service so knowing how often someone needs to recover their data and not had an opportunity to reset their backup based on their current state.

I'd actually hope not. Many people have chronic conditions which require periodic visits to a doctor mainly for the same prescription to be renewed. A doctor should absolutely be involved in follow-up management, but don't make patients go every two or three months just to get the same prescription as last time and to get insurance to cover the meds.

Once a chronic but potentially well-managed condition is diagnosed, let people record their blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, and whatever and submit it for records. Let them renew their prescription with the pharmacy without spending hours finding an appointment that then takes hours to actually be seen. If their condition hasn't changed, once or twice a year with the doctor should be plenty.

I wonder if there's an optimization to be made about tolerating a minimum amount of cheating while being vociferous about the countermeasures? Along the same lines as "no such thing as bad publicity", having just enough cheating to piss off a few people and getting them to talk about it and the countermeasures seems like a great way to get free advertising and game engagement of players just curious to see who is cheating or the drama between cat and mouse.
Honestly, I'd love to see examples of rotted code that could be made exponentially faster. I'm likely guilty of this.

And I agree that it's disheartening to watch how horribly we use these incredible tools. But thankfully as programmers we're in a position to design these tools to offset the worst parts of humanity.

And one field in which more powerful computers will be needed soon is deep learning. It appears that progress is beginning to stall, as larger networks are necessary. Better tools for distributed computing will make up the difference in the short term, but the current infrastructure appears to be insufficient for general intelligence.

Get Ready for Quantum Leap: World Governments Engage in Quantum Arms Race
I second going with the T line and would go as far to say that the T480 has a very modern feel to it. It is only slightly thicker than my old MBP 2013 retina 15 inch. (the thickness of the screen) I was expecting it to be much thicker and the fact that you can get 32 GB of RAM makes it feel like a very fast/responsive machine even with many applications running. Far more important in my opinion for a developer machine than having the screen of the Carbon.
It sounds way too late at this point to worry about stuff like modularization and refactoring. Many of the things you mentioned are certainly important for long-term success, but it sounds like you were hired to impact the nearing release so I'd focus on that first.

I would start with the infrastructure stuff like you said, a staging server and CI. If every dev has been relying on local builds, this will probably find a bunch of issues right off the bat.

After a stable build environment is established, I would go over the bottlenecks they currently face and work on freeing those up so they can work more efficiently. Since you're so late to the game, you should focus on enabling them to work faster to hit the deadline. All the other methodology and code quality stuff you mentioned can come after that.
Is the bottleneck preventing better cell simulations computational or lack of data / insufficient understanding of biology to inform a predictive model?
I consider sama to be an extraordinary investor and thinker (I know this is the most consensus thing one could say on HN). The personal bets on Boom, Helion Energy, Cruise and many others are really phenomenal (even the re-bet on Reddit) -- not just for being early/contrarian for their time, but also necessary for the world for these companies to succeed.

The highlights of this interview imo are the following pieces of advice:

1) get a coach sooner than later

2) always keep revisiting what is urgent vs important and keep prioritizing; if in 'war-mode' then users, team, revenue above all else; ignore things that don't amount to much (potential candidates: investor updates, press, conferences etc -- they are not more valuable than users)

3) don't get too far away from the product (some things cannot be delegated early on)

4) "boards hate surprises...and boards hate feeling like you’re trying to hide bad news". Be open. Ask for help.

Really great points.

I feel that the point about the role of the CEO in a downturn is under-explored in this interview (felt rushed). This is rich territory (and relevant). The discussion about specific examples of things that don't merit CEO time veers into 'made-up territory' quickly and doesn't feel relevant -- e.g. some "[CEOs] then stop going to the executive team meeting (that’s a very bad idea)" -- I don't see as many companies as these two, but no CEO stops going to an executive team meeting (infact, bad CEOs go to too many of those! as they enjoy 'playing CEO' :)). If a CEO stops going to an executive team meeting, that is quite counter-intuitive and interesting in many respects in of itself (e.g. there is a fire; CEO doesn't want to be CEO etc) :-) I feel Elad should have pressed more as an interviewer rather than rushing to the next point.

Overall, always good to hear sama's views -- he is an incredibly important investor of our age (my prediction). And Elad thanks for working on this book. For a few $$ everyone can get this wisdom -- you did a great service for entrepreneurs. Congrats on the launch.

After a few years in the Ember ecosystem, I started using Vue a few months ago and damn it's amazing. Of course you can't compare the two at all. I've found Vue and the structures it imposes on your application a bit easier to reason about than what I've found with Ember. It could also very well be that having learnt Ember, I picked up Vue very easily. Either way, I love Vue, and outside of Ember I can't say I've loved any other front-end framework.

The original gameboy has 8K of RAM and the first and second gen pokemon games run on it. Most of the hard work is done by the graphics and sound hardware. Fairly large games though.
I think if anything this would slightly lower insurance premiums, since insurance generally doesn't cover nonprescription medications.

As for the effect on pharmaceutical companies, it could go either way. On one hand, it makes it much easier for customers to buy them. On the other, the customer is paying for it out of pocket, and the price is right there on the box. If there are multiple drugs that treat the same condition, customers will take into account price when choosing which one to buy, and so you'll start to see the effects of a free market encouraging competition and driving down prices. Of course, if there isn't any competition for that drug category they can make the price whatever they want and the poor will wind up screwed.
Funny coincidence! I added w520 support to coreboot as a weekend project several years ago!

It should still work great on your w520, except there were several power management issues related to the optimus GPU I just couldn't fix.

Oh and careful with the RAM if you use 32G as some brands will not work well, because of raminit issue (I haven't followed, maybe they are fixed now)

A lot of good points here, so I'll try not to be redunant. A lot of the best practices you have listed are longer-term investments and culture changes. If you just need to ship a project, then you and your team will need to figure out how to make that happen, even if its full of ugly hacks. After its shipped, then you'll have more leeway to start fixing bugs one at a time.

It also sounds like there's a huge political element here too, so of course be aware of that. Definitely don't try to rock the boat too much at first until you understand specifics of what is wrong. Overprescribing can be demoralizing, and if the project still goes south then you're the one to be blamed, since it was your idea to "change things". Not to say you should do nothing, its a delicate balance, and one I would certainly struggle with myself. Best of luck.
Addresses all my points well, but I feel misunderstood in the first paragraph.

If he's able to create creative sceneries using Photoshop and then proceeds to copy them using his techniques, I think this could lead to recognition of artistic genius.

And I would like to know how artistic genius gets recognized. I think it's still highly subjective and just the aggregated opinion of all people in the art crowd and their subjective opinions - so it's still difficult to say that someone has definitely artistic genius because it's dependent on the crowd, the time, the society etc.
You have that 100% backwards.

Insurance premiums will go down since OTC drugs are not covered by insurance. Pharmaceutical profits will also go down because people are much more price sensitive for OTC drugs, so they can't charge as much.
The books the Stripe has announced here are all pretty exciting to me – I want to read them all.

When Netflix started doing original content, "Netflix Original" was essentially a seal of quality, and I was typically excited enough to at least check out each one. As they've pumped out so much quantity lately, that quality bar has dropped significantly.

I hope Stripe Press is successful enough to keep putting out great content, but not successful enough to succumb to the same fate. Patrick's love (at least Patrick – I'm sure others) of books that he's discussed at length gives me some hope.

Why wouldn't it have the opposite effect?

Patients aren't price sensitive when their insurance provider is paying. It creates a suboptimal three (or four) party pricing problem.

It seems like it would be preferable if patients chose whether to follow a physician's instructions based on whether they got sufficient utility or quality of life improvements from the pharmaceutical to justify the cost. Likewise, if patients incur lower costs on the insurance provider their business is more valuable, and competing insurance providers will try to undercut them resulting in lower prices.

The only "loser" in this scenario seems to be the pharmaceutical companies, which will come in the form of a combination of short term reduced shareholder profits, and long term slower pharmaceutical research. However, it is not difficult to argue that if drug expenditures are too high, it ultimately comes down to paying the bills for over investment in research rather than the cost of production.
The bit dissusing kitsch was really interesting, thanks for posting!
Also some form of typeahead prompt would be useful for a similar reason — for example: if one enters “bread”, being able to select the type of bread from a known list is helpful.

It's not as great as you think for the pharmaceutical industry. They can't charge as much for OTC drugs because people won't pay for it.

If the drug (or a similar in class competitor) is available OTC then they also can't charge as much via prescription.

So both ways, prices go down.

Cheating is incredibly toxic in the community, even a whiff of it and people start labeling each other scripters etc. Riot does a lot of work to make their community suck less, lots of player leave or drop engagement because the community is toxic.

"But if the claim is straightforward, obvious and well documented, they will pay out unless you are dealing with unscrupulous insurers."

I think this a fallacy (unless most insurers are unscrupulous). It is very common for insurance companies to reject the claim initially and hope you'll go away.
Disclaimer: I'm the author of the blog post. :-)

> well written and refreshingly transparent

Thank you! In the interests of full transparency, the blog post was a collaborative affair and was proof read and edited for clarity by several people at Backblaze.

> discussion about why it doesn't matter

One of the philosophies Backblaze uses is to build a reliable component out of several inexpensive and unrelated components. So combine 20 cheap drives into a ultra reliable vault. We have two or three inexpensive network connections into each datacenter instead of buying one REALLY expensive connection for 8x the price. Etc.

Personally, I recommend customers do the same. Instead of storing two copies of your data in two regions in Amazon for 2x the price, store your data in one region of Amazon and put one copy in Backblaze B2 for 1.25x the price. We believe this will result in higher availability and higher durability that two copies in Amazon because Amazon S3 and Backblaze B2 don't share datacenters in common (that we know of), don't share network links, don't share the software stack, etc. For bonus points, use different credit cards to pay for each, and have different IT people's credentials (alert email address) on each. That way if one IT person leaves your company and you don't get an alert that the credit card has expired, hopefully your other copy will be Ok.
This is definitely a problem worth solving, and this looks like a nice solution.

I like the use of weather as an at-a-glance shorthand. This is something I'd be looking at every day, and the faster I can glean the information the better. Can you share a little more about what might make things "stormy" vs. "clear"?

> I wouldn't be surprised if 50% of the hospital visits can be solved by one of these generics but then we add an expensive doctor visit to get a $4 medicine.

Its really not surprising that the expensive part isn't the drug but the expertise to select the correct drug; it's true in lots of fields that the equipment or consumables aren't nearly as expensive as the brain to choose which of those to use and how.

Bits are a lot less expensive than the software engineers that arrange them.
