I'd rather work at somewhere with a 0.9x salary with a healthy culture and work life balance and a product I'm excited about than a place with none of those that pays 1.1x salary.

I don't think I'm in the minority of that either. That's not to say salary doesn't matter -- it's very important because given two places I'm equally interested in, I'll pretty much exclusively choose based on compensation.

Bird, Lime, and Spin were only operating for a short time (at least in SF, not sure how long they were operating in other cities). Versus Scoot which has been operating in SF since 2012 (I know nothing about Skip; I assume they've been operating elsewhere).

This also isn't just "length of time operating", the same row covers "applicant's history" and "history of their users", and Bird/Lime/Spin all have a very poor history here:

> From April 11 to May 23 alone, San Francisco’s 311 Customer Service Center received nearly 1,900 complaints regarding scooters. Complaints ranged from scooters blocking sidewalk access to unsafe riding in the public right-of-way. San Francisco Public Works had to impound more than 500 scooters that were blocking sidewalks or otherwise improperly parked.
As someone else who lives in Santa Monica, the extra detail here is that it's so freaking temperate year round that you don't need as much heat/AC.

We typically just ventilate our home during the day and don't run AC, we've never turned the heat on (I don't know if we have heat, actually).
If you are flying that much, you should have the miles to often get upgraded right?

Many companies have a policy that their employees can go business class if they fly so much a month, with the idea that they won’t hate their lives.
ripgrep definitely goes against the Unix philosophy. This is intentional. The Unix philosophy is a means to an end, and not an end unto itself. The key way that ripgrep violates the Unix philosophy is that it couples the filtering of what to search with the act of searching. You hit the nail on the head with styling, because the output of ripgrep is itself the thing that prevents composability.

However, from my own observations (and my own use), folks seem to appreciate having some amount of coupling and integration here. I've often seen folks claim that a legitimate use case (for them) for ripgrep is to "replace crazy 'find ./ ... | xargs' concoctions." The degree to which the aforementioned is "crazy" or not varies based on the individual, but there's a not insubstantial number of people who appreciate the succinctness that coupling brings.

As the maintainer, the coupling is annoying, because it means ripgrep needs to implement more stuff. For example, ripgrep provides a `--sort-files` option, which is something that standard grep doesn't need because you can fairly easy compose its output with 'sort'. You could do the same with ripgrep (ripgrep supports the standard composable grep output format), but then you lose the "pretty styling" that users appreciate. So you have no choice.

In terms of giving more structure to output, I am mostly unconvinced by your argument, but I've been happily using text streams as my user interface for a very long time, and I like its balance.

With that said, the next release of ripgrep will come with a --json flag, which enables structured output. :-)
I work in the space and the real trouble is that it's so easy to build a 'fake' profile (including on platform engagement and follower ratios etc) that sure, you might only be paying $20 per post, but only 10% of posts will deliver anything approaching value for money.

The good news is you can then build up a relationship with the 'good' influencers over time, but it's still a lot of work. And once an influencer reaches a certain level of fame, they are basically bought out by the big brands with contracts and serious money to throw around.

Another big problem is that it's still really hard (impossible) to track 'the good kind' of word of mouth advertising - where it seems organic and there's no transactional gift voucher or discount code shared with the influencer's audience.

We actually got so fed up of this that we decided to turn it on its head and are working on [a tool](https://postperk.com) to help brands turn their customers into Instagram influencers instead. It's pretty early days, but I'd be happy to throw out a free month or so to any HN readers who are interested in trying it out.
Not long ago Venmo's ability to pay at the website was "Under Construction"... and it never came back.

They forced all of their users to perform all transactions via their cell-phone. When I signed up, that was not the deal.

I am reasonably responsible online and I never in my wild dreams expected that the default behavior was my purchases would be public knowledge. It was not really a big deal since they weren't embarrassing - but imagine the outrage if VISA had a similar policy.

I do not trust Venmo and I hope they go out of business.
I like this idea too. Sadly I doubt regulators would go for it without substantial modification - all lie-flat beds have to be in the upright position for take-off and landing at the moment, for example.

The Navajo Nation has excellent solar resources. And new solar projects are being built on the reservation:

http://ktar.com/story/2189238/navajo-nation-kayenta-solar-re...

https://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/news/2018/01/26/navajos-...

You wouldn't be able to replace the annual energy output of the Navajo Generating Station just with solar farms built on former NGS land, of course, because coal can be turned into electricity in a much smaller area. But if you consider the 44,000 acre leased area of the Kayenta Mine that supplies NGS with coal, you could actually get more annual energy production from the same area by switching to solar.
Shrug. Some people want a small screen. Some people want an iPhone X without a notch. Some people want a headphone jack. The repetitive complaints are pointless. The market has moved on.

Claiming that arguments in favor of large screens are "so lame" is itself extremely lame and tone deaf. Clearly most people want a large screen. Clearly most people will still buy a phone without a headphone jack. Personally I want an iPhone X with a fingerprint scanner, but no one cares, and Apple isn't reading these threads anyway.

It's not reasonable to expect your employer to pay for your commute time if you don't use that commute time to work. You can work for them on the train. You shouldn't work for them on the train if you're not getting paid for it, but you're generally also not expected to work on the train. You can't work for them while you're driving. You can think of that driving time as work, but you shouldn't expect your employer to consider it work.

Where you choose to live and work are up to you, and need to be factored in to the burden. Commuting is only "work" if you're expected to do something during the commute.

> Long-lasting, not chasing design trends.

Your "design trend" might be my "prevailing idiom". I have different preferences depending on what language, platform, and industry my work involves.

Even if they aren't speaking to each other, I like it when the collection of services, modules, libraries, etc used by my project share a common mentality and (when appropriate) terminology.

If it helps, you might want to think about who is most likely to use your interface and what they individually prefer. Consumers from Rails and React and .NET are each going to think of things a little differently and want different things. Lean towards one and help the rest adapt.

Every object requires a header and a 8 byte pointer. This means even an empty object will cost you 16 or even more bytes. If you have perfect data locality and zero cache misses then you will still suffer from exhausting your bandwidth on useless data.

Then there is the fact that you still cannot actually control the allocation. The allocation pattern ABBAABABBA has worse performance on read accesses of all As or all Bs than AAAAABBBBB but with two arena allocators you can write your code to allocate memory according to the irregular pattern but still have continguous data as the end result.
Bird/Lime/Spin have a very poor history only because they’re the only ones with any history at all. They just happened to be around when the controversy started. It seems unfair to penalize them for that, and give them zero credit for previous experience. Scoot’s been around, yes, but with a very different service.

Why are libertarians allowed on the Internet, it really baffles me.
This is correct. The thing is, powershell is not for humans. It is purposed more towards configuration and system scipting, and thus should be compared to something like ansible. Using it as a shell is counter-productive unless you have very specific mindset.

Unix shell, on the other hand, is a trade-off: it offers you options to process and automate and reasonable convenience when working interactively. None of those aspects is perfect, of course, but it allows gradual learning curve (i.e. being able to do quick and dirty things from the beginning), is much more versatile and ubiquitous.

We didnt unit test as much as we do now. There were early versions of junit - but it was difficult to configure in an enterprise environment. So you would go to workplaces and people would tell you they were testing - but then you look at the code and there were few tests
>The cost to move a cubic yard of soil is rather well known for a given area

Primarily for union labor using traditional tools and techniques.

When spacex was started, the cost to move a kg of satellite into low earth orbit was well known. The cost of a new rocket development program from an engineering hours / labor cost perspective was also well established.
He broke a few assumptions people had, which resulted in dramatically lower costs.

I don't see why that strategy wouldn't _fundamentally_ play out similarly for TBC.
Errmm, yes, I'm familiar with the difference in motivations behind the tools. I guess what I'm looking for is specific examples of things that cause you to use grep instead of ag. Ubiquity is a good one. But let's say you have both ag and grep. When do you reach for one and why?

(I should have said this in my first comment, but I'm the author of ripgrep, and I'm just generally interested in learning more about the differing use cases for these tools, in the words of users. I certainly have my own ideas about the question!)
Politicians giving themselves a ~ 30-year runway is a farce. Promise you'll reduce it by 10% in 3 years, and I'll take you seriously.

This is garbage. Just like the return to the Moon promised by Regan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump ... always "15 to 20 years from now" ... and NEVER happens.

By the way - 10% in 3 years would be a perfect milestone to 100% in 30 years.

>If it was truly irrelevant, it didn't need to be brought up in the first place.

It's not like people must have some hidden agenda, or that they necessarily consciously "bring things up" with some ulterior motive.

The parent just shared some context, that he has an issue related to the discussion. If anything, if they really had some hidden motive, like getting market-worthy consulting as part of a HN comment reply (!), they'd have, well, hidden the fact that they have this problem at work.

It's totally common to casually mention that "you know, this issue we're discussing on this thread I also have a work, and why do you say this approach sucks and which do you then suggest".

In fact it happens all the time on HN, between regular developers, the occasional star scientist or programmer (from Alan Kay to Ryan Dahl and Dan Brown), and even far more important and busy pros than some security expert, and I've never heard anybody counting their lost pennies from what they'd have gained if they charged for talking to them...

It's also not like the person the question was addressed to can't handle the matter themselves, and e.g. not answer if they fill they need to be paid for their musings...
I absolutely would not suggest men have done a commendable job, because for much of that time women were basically treated as property.
Yes, I was thinking about exa and ripgrep recently, since I am going to write a couple of tools (very loosely) like ls/find and grep in a while (for learning and as tutorials). Thought the same as you, that for a command that is to be typed so often as ls, exa is a bit longer (even though just one letter). Of course it can be aliased to a shorter name or one can write a shell script wrapper for it. The point about single hand vs. both is a good one, that had not occurred to me.

Edited to change: like them
to: like ls/find and grep

which is what I should have written originally.

Clearly most people want a thin professional laptop. Clearly most people will still buy a professional laptop without ports.
You can expect to lose money on the first posts (weeding out the fakes, building a relationship, shipping product etc) but once you find someone who works well, it's easy to get a great ROI from future posts with them.

To give you a rough idea, I run a small ecommerce jewellery store as a side project and a post by a micro influencer (<1000 followers) netted us over $3000 in orders. We just gave her $89 worth of jewellery.

That's obviously an exception, but you can definitely build up a network of trusted partners who can get you 5-10x returns pretty consistently.

That's an uncharitable interpretation of what The E-Myth had to say. His point is that you need to make the business run in a way that is independent of you being there. It doesn't mean removing agency from your employees: that is a very bad thing. It means creating enough procedures that people aren't left floundering around waiting to be told how to do something.

Yes, that's totally doable in the PG world. Send a few small patches, proof that you can work with the community, and you'll likely start to get job offers. You won't get close 100% open source work immediately, of course, but there's several places that hire where you can have growth potential.
Been there, done that (6'2, Australia <-> Europe, multiple times). I couldn't agree more. The fact that there is no way to fully stretch my legs while seated is driving me nuts on such long flights.

I get that they have to cramp in as many seats into a plane as they can in order to get the prices down to a point where normal people are willing to pay for a ticket. But it's really such a pain in the butt.

Would I pay double the price for a ticket to get a bed? Probably not: long distance flights are already expensive. And knowing how everything on planes is smaller than in real-life, I'm sure whatever they'd sell me as "a bed" would not really be accommodating either.

As a consequence, I now just avoid these long distance trips. A pity for one who loves to travel but on the upside, it's better for the environment anyway.
