There is a cost to doing this though, that's the point. Who gets the money is in many ways not relevant to the central point. You are not paying for a single paper to be reviewed. You're paying for all of the rejected ones too. The high APCs of even non-profit publishers is a key point to show that costs end up being quite high.

> All that activity the journals do prior to publication can probably be streamlined and solved a lot more efficiently

It's a huge industry though, and so saving money can translate to huge profit increases. While not competitive like other marketplaces are, I'm sure these places like money and so have their own drive to cut costs. You can't just throw technology or "social platform" at a problem and hope costs go down.
Its a little confusing because the declaration of the initiative says that the "hybrid" model is not acceptable yet just before that it says that they will pay open access fees up to a specific capped amount throughout Europe. Which one is it?

In any case, some disciplines in life sciences pay the fee to commercial publishers in order to avoid their own internal politics. Open access publishers can have their own problems with politics and transparency which are at this time masked because everyone publishes in high-impact third party commercial publishers. It is a little more difficult to trust the publication record as a proxy for value when you know that e.g. connections have played a part in it.
1) Should children suffer the mistakes of their parents? It's a question of values.

2) I don't follow what you're trying to say here? If the fed. govt. mandates paternity leave the unfairness will be a bigger issue? Sure but right now FMLA is the law and it allows unpaid leave to care for family.

3) I agree it's moot but I didn't bring up paternity leave, the grandparent did.
I live in Portland and I've heard the whole "this city is colder/flakier than other cities" bit.
I came here to say basically this. Complaining that a content-centric site like the New York Times loads 2.8mb of data just to load an article is completely valid because it's entirely unnecessary, and makes the end user experience noticeably worse. But let's not generalize that by dismissing all single-page applications; sometimes a heavy frontend really is the best solution.
I am the opposite. I find flaking acceptable and find that people who don't are intolerant. I think it's partially a cultural thing.

It has nothing to do with San Francisco. It's a generational thing that has nothing to do with SF specifically. Read this article from last year in the NYT:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/07/opinion/the-golden-age-of...

FWIW, I'm an old person and flaking wasn't as prevalent pre-cell phone. The reason is that there was no way that you could get in touch with someone if you changed your mind or if something came up, so the person would be waiting there indefinitely. Also people would have much longer patience, I would sometimes have to wait up to 1 hour for my friends to show up. Of course, the reverse of that is if someone flaked more than a couple of times, you would stop inviting them out or making plans with them, so it was a problem that dealt with itself.
Having lived in SF for a few years now I would say it is very unique (not necessarily in good ways).

The weirdest thing about SF is that there are no kids.
You're right, the portion of a rocket's exhaust that is recaptured by the Earth would raise or lower the angular velocity a bit, depending on direction, and gravity between the Earth and the spacecraft would have a tiny effect in the opposite direction.

Those are separate from the disconnect I was talking about; I meant a gentle disconnect after which the spacecraft remains in orbit.
I wondered the same thing. I wrote a basic crawler to measure JS footprint on various sites on the web. Most of the JS bloat I found was due to misconfigured webpack configs: leaving development mode on, inline source maps, etc. Tons of whitespace and comments. I tweeted at some of the offenders (https://twitter.com/bundlebloat for those interested), but only a few actually fixed the problem.
Which takes empathy. Which a lot of people in tech don't have.
Since the article doesn't link to the study I will discard this as statistical meaninglessness.

How do you measure "10 times more"? If my OS steals my pictures but one converts them to *.webm before they get sent, and waste more MB data with that, did they collect more? Is an OS better because it sends more detailed location data but fewer times a day or the other way around? What if Users chat more on average on one OS? What about bloated apps that produce more noise? What about data that get's send but isn't sensitive, like I don't know, the average reaction time of the power button? You can send that 2000 times a day and I still care less than when you keylog me...
I was working for a very large research institute. They had a large full color magazine with several people on the payroll that noone read. I never got a good answer why we did it, except momentum and everyone has one.
> why you think this article tries to convey the idea that SF is special. She lives in this city, she interested in the flaking phenomena. She's said not a word about the city being special.

It says 'the rate of "flaking" in San Francisco is really high' - the only reasonable reading of that to me is 'really high... compared to other places'. You can only be 'high' compared to something else, and the only thing which qualifies this data point is 'in San Francisco'.
the 3 images have over 5MB. no optimization at all I assume.
It's only admirable to one who desires to be desirable, no? Many of us are as happy with our own company as we are with that of our family and/or friends. And for sure there's no shortage of things to do if someone blows me out.
I use tmux in combination with Mosh because the latter doesn't have an usable "scrollback". Or when I need to keep a session running. ^__^;

It depends on culture.

It's a general trend of being always connected. The original meetup is no longer a high-priority focused event but can easily be replaced by something else in a second. It also makes sending excuses easier with a simple text so there's not much consequence for lack of commitment. This is exacerbated by making everything into a "casual" experience with respect and professionalism waning among youth.

People didn't flake as much when they had to actually call each other to make plans, and couldn't communicate further until they were actually there in person.
> It was the smallest implementation of chess on any computer until its record was broken in January 2015 by the PC-compatible BootChess.[4]

It would be interesting to compare x86 and Z80 code density, that is, how much you can do per bit of machine code.
That really depends on which part of the city you’re in, my neighborhood is a sea of strollers!
But, why do you need k8s to do those things, particularly for a single app?

It seems like a very complex architecture to ensure reliability.
Paying for OA is not hybrid.

Hybrid usually refers to journals that have some OA and some non-OA content.

However, I'm not sure if the initiative is talking about not publishing in hybrid journals at all, or that publishing non-oa followed by later paying for OA is not acceptable.

> In any case, some disciplines in life sciences pay the fee to commercial publishers in order to avoid their internal politics. Open access publishers can have their own problems with politics and transparency which are at this time masked because everyone publishes in third party commercial publishers.

I'm not sure if I understand right, but there's no distinction between OA publishers and commercial publishers. OA really just refers to the rights of the final paper, not whether the publisher turns a profit.
There are two different kinds of web development:

a) Apps where the user is expected to stay a while

b) Sites where the user is there, maybe once ever (most likely also scared off by the ads)

For Apps, I would always prefer a pre-load of JS that was built with React and downloads about 2-4 MB. If there is an update I will be forced to download it again.

On the UPSHOT, almost everything I do in that app is now a 3-8KB request. This means transitioning pages, changing states of things, all happen in about 50ms including whatever visual changes are required on the screen.

Compare that to full-screen refresh apps and I am usually waiting 200-400ms. It just feels too damn slow.

Why am I even typing this? This is the freaking whole point of an SPA. Are we not all caught up on this yet?
I'm disappointed. I was hoping that the author would go into the structural issues with transport in the SF Bay Area.

One of the primary issues with the SF Bay Area is that it's 60 miles north-south, and getting across the SF Bay is a major undertaking, both in time and money.

Unlike cities like NYC (large and dense + a mostly functional transit system), and Boston (small and dense + a vaguely functional transit system), travel times are much more non-deterministic in the SF Bay Area, especially if plans require people from multiple locations.

Ergo, the chances of people bailing on plans because some random traffic incident will add 90 minutes to their travel time (and possibly miss most of the event) is much higher in the SF Bay Area.
I am a solo developer and I have been running my side projects on Kubernetes (GKE) for several years now.

It helped me a lot to focus on things that I like: development instead of ops. I never had to SSH into any machine or do things manually. I just tag a github release and in few minutes I get my application updated.

With Docker I believe it would be lot more complicated, no zero-downtime upgrades, no load balancing, OS vulnerabilities. Then, when I would need to add a new service into my setup, I would have to yet again go into the host or multiple hosts :)

So no, I don't believe people who say that for small projects you shouldn't use K8s. It saves a lot of time and helps you not to burn out on your side projects as it takes the pain of running a service away.

P.S. I am an author of Keel https://github.com/keel-hq/keel, it's a relatively successful CD solution, I hope it saved a lot of hours for other companies too :)
My positive experiences with QA were always when the QA team was strictly separated from the production team.

Ideally, no friendship whatsoever.

Doing QA is hard. Bouncing issues & QA reports between teams is hard. Bouncing issues between people that know each others too well or have a common manager leads to all sorts of issues.

In this specific instance, it could be as simple as the manager trying to balance things between teams and thus letting things slip past the due date or with sub-par quality.

My worst experience was when a married couple worked together on a project I was involved with: one on the sw team and the other in QA. Working together is hard, working on "antagonistic" teams is hell

Let's not pretend that left wing violence is anywhere near the scale of violence on the far right. There are literally dozens of murders each year in the US from members of the far right.
A lot of investors won't invest in companies that don't have large offices in the Bay. Investors also generally advise against having remote offices when you have less than 100 people. As a result, there's not really any reason that startups need offices there other than that it can be difficult to get investment if you're based elsewhere.

EDIT: I shouldn't say "the Bay", but rather, "the Bay/LA/NYC/Seattle". I more mean "top tier startups cities" rather than strictly just the Bay, per se.
> This was really frustrating, because I’d taken an expensive Uber to get there on time.

The Bay Area is an expensive, slow, pain in the ass to get around. It's no wonder more people flake (if that's actually true). There's always going to be a reason not to jump into bumper to bumper traffic or pay a $100 Uber fair. Compared to NY where you can just jump on a subway and meet someone in half an hour, it's a wonder people meet up in the Bay Area casually at all.
Oh sure, I agree it's useful for review, but not for initial learning. I read through your notes before I watched the videos because I thought I could really glean something from it, but it didn't help me at all (it was actually confusing) until I watched the videos...

We should be careful with our terminology here, as I think what we're really interested in is experience, not age.

Also, think we should take care when using terms like "intelligence", i.e. "fluid intelligence" versus "crystalized intelligence". I'm reading The Power of Habit by Charles Duhig, and it outlines a model wherein the notion of "crystalized intelligence" is attributed to a person already having a model for solving a problem, whereas "fluid intelligence" is associated with someone facing a novel (to them) problem.

The key takeaway is not that "intelligence" becomes "crystalized" with age, it was that the brain is quick to identify solutions that might work in a particular situation when that situation is similar to one experienced before. Thus it's easier for someone experienced to become "stuck" because they don't realize that the situation they're facing is, in fact, novel, and requires learning a new routine.

Society has decided that having children is important, and individuals, companies, and governments encourage that activity by providing benefits like these.
I don't think it's unreasonable that SF has an anomalously high flaking rate compared to cities in the rest of the US. I don't have data on it, but I don't think it's a statement that's so unlikely to be true that the author deserves to be shamed for making it.
Do you also live in Noe Valley? I'm surrounded by children and strollers on the J most days.
You don't, but K8S has it built-in which removes overhead.

If you're installing K8S yourself then it's probably not worth it, but if you're using managed services with free master nodes, why not take advantage of it? You can use it with a single worker node without problems.
Sure, because everyone over 40 is supposed to be a manager?

What makes you think this man is or is not typical? (I'd err on the former side, "lifers" are common in many industries including restaurants.)
This exchange does make me wonder how often she makes plans we people who've already previously flaked on her.

There probably are ways to minimize the risk of getting flaked on.

Engineering your life for zero flakes, is probably sub-optimal though.

Probably a better strategy is just to keep a kindle with reading you want to do with you (or something along those lines), so if you do flaked on, the time isn't a total waste.
There is a similar censoring of Saudi Arabia that also contributes to various scholarships and conferences. So there is no discussion of this fascist state.
But that would not be flaking, just being late, no? Are there cultures where completely failing to do what you said you would is acceptable?
Nobody else thought either, but now thanks to their superhuman salesmanship, now they do :)

I bet, they managed to make them believe that they somehow can pull out accident rates from the data.

I believe boot chess also does not implement two of those three, which makes it a fine comparison. Promotion is something I expect most people know, castling is something they might know, but en passant is hardly common. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the number of people who play chess without knowing that rule exceed those who play by FIDE rules.

Whatever the case, it is still a variant of chess, so I see no problem calling it chess.

At some point, what are you insuring against, if you know which machines will fail? This reminds me of the pre-existing conditions debate in healthcare - if you only insure healthy machines, then what is the point of buying insurance? Sure, catastrophy insurance is good, but I wonder if better data may reduce the size of the insurance market. Not necessarily bad for those being insured, since they could do preventative maintenance, but I wonder if the insurers are at all concerned.
For developers, or for operators?

Orchestration makes it trivial to recover from the downtime of individual nodes, unintentional (crashes) or intentional (managing updates of the node's underlying OS). Making load balancing, (basic) service discovery, storage as part of the deployment artifact drastically reduces deployment risk.

We can have a discussion about which orchestration platform is best, and we can have a discussion on whether you need orchestration if you're a two-person startup using mostly a lot of SaaS and you have Really Only One Thing running in your production environment. But doubting the value of orchestration? Really?

> The last time the US Navy built a battleship was in 1941. It was decommissioned in 1958 - the last of its kind. If you take World War II as the proof that carriers had eclipsed battleships, that doesn't seem like long at all.

WW2 was definitely un-ignorable proof that battleships were done. Imo though, given the essentially complete lack of actual success wrought by battleships in ww1, someone should have seen the light in the interwar period.

I guess I shouldn't be too harsh, at least we aren't building much else new that's bigger than a destroyer (except carriers).
I have a chrome extension where I just dump random ideas I get throughout the day. I get ideas just reading news, trying out new software, watching youtube videos.

For every day I use it, I'll probably look at it once a month. The process of writing it down helps cement and make you remember it better.

It helps to just have a notebook and pen+paper handy, and draw ideas there. Also helps to learn something your not good at like drawing or music

The process of logging ideas is important though. Doesn't matter where you log it. I have 100 first drafts in wordpress, I let those drafts compete with each other before fleshing one out once a week or every 2 weeks, depending on what mood im in
