That makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

RoR feels like something I really should have in my toolkit anyway.
And that's great for you. I was totally against smart watches when they first appeared and didn't see any great use for the Apple Watch.

I eventually bought one and I wear it every single day. Things I do with it:

1. Most important feature is notifications from iMessage, WhatsApp, SMS and a small number of apps that I want notifications from (e.g. British Airways app telling me which gate to go to). On occasion I reply using the watch.

2. Meeting reminders. I go to a lot of meetings. Knowing when they are coming up and where they are is super useful.

3. Activity. I like the gentle push to make me walk a bit more.

4. Timers. Use these often when cooking or making tea.

I have an original Apple Watch. Not sure the Series 4 is compelling for me, but the health features are what will drive me to buy a new watch at some point.
It was less zeroes and they didn't pay and the guy has threatened to sue. Obviously it's a gray area, which is exactly why there are 2 sides to this argument. Their fine print will either stand up in court, or it won't. But you can't just assume they are going to pay out willingly every time they make a mistake. There is obviously a line where they have to say the risk in not paying out is worth the bad publicity and lawsuit potential. Then they learn from that mistake and move on. Then people use your business moving forward or they don't. That's why I like free markets, the checks and balances are already there to handle situations like this, we don't need legislation.
That $68 earning is either going to the employee or the employer. If law forces it to go to the employees then the employers could try to hire people for $68 less salary.

If you don't go open source, will you at least offer paid self-hosting (similar to what e.g. Atlassian offers).

The idea of privacy is much easier to sell if the data never leaves your own server, instead of using some analytics provider that might be run by the CIA or the Russian mafia for all we can prove.
It's a negotiation, right? And at least some of the cards are known, such as an admittedly noisy estimate of what people will accept as a salary.

Basically the company shares in your lowered living costs if you are somewhere cheap. Hopefully they won't eat the whole savings, something should be left for both parties.

Because your salary is much more influenced by market supply and demand than the value you create for your employer.

You're arguing something, but it sure isn't the point I made. There is no power imbalance between those two religions.
In that case what’s the point of the smart contract in the first place?
I use it because they give larger repo size limit. I think it's 10G now. All my side projects are smaller games so I use that space.
No, it isn't. It's still a mistake. A programmer could have dropped a digit just as easily as a person failed to properly tape a digit to a window.
Not my direct manager but the tech lead.

This was a new team with an early standup which never happened on time because we would always roll in late. The scrum master had the 'great idea' to start a dollar jar. Whoever was late to standup had to put a dollar into the jar. None of us objected because other than the scrum master, tech lead, and manager we were all new to the company and didn't want to rock the boat.

This turned out to a huge problem for one of the engineers. She had to drop her kids off at a daycare that didn't open early enough, so she was late ever day. We mostly fell into line but she didn't have a choice. It wasn't the money, but the public shaming of having to go up and put the dollar in the jar. After a few weeks she was really stressing out about it because she was new no the job and wanted to make a good impression.

Well the tech lead saw this and sauntered into the office at 11 the next day. He flourished a twenty dollar bill and then announced so that the whole office could hear that he was pre-paying for the next month. He could do this because he was one of the most talented and senior engineers in the whole company. And unlike many talented people who toil in obscurity, upper management knew he was talented. The project wouldn't happen without him, or at least thats how management saw it. He was untouchable.

The dollar jar disappeared the next day. The woman who was afraid of losing her new job over a stupid tip jar would up staying and becoming one of the better and most reliable engineers at that company. Even if it took them a few more years to realize it.
Fair enough.

Yes, she also needed to accelerate from 100 to 184, which (I am guessing) is a significantly lesser feat than maintaining a balance on a salt lake surface and keeping herself in 3 meters of a slipstream area. This is all remarkable, but the point was that this setup is probably not what most people would imagine when told of "a woman riding bicycle at 183.9 MPH".

Lol. Does anyone think tickermaster cares one iota about its public image? They have been hated for decades, by fans and artists alike. The survive on their ins with venues, bulk purchasers, and CC companies.

Increased efficiency at the cost of higher error rates should be of prime importance for cryptocurrency mining ASICs, something I didn't see mentioned in the article.
I work in a fairly mature startup that’s been around for over 10 years. It began primarily with an app, but shifted focus to other business areas. The image processing products are mostly related to offering information retrieval and search services for app users that have curated personal image collections.

I would say your description is accurate but only accidentally. The reason we have to learn more core engineering skills is that infrastructure will not take responsibility of bringing our solutions to production, and seek to limit the tools in our toolbox with policy.

It’s not fun when your everyday life is constant impedance mismatch against tools that infra will allow you to use. You can constantly see better / faster / safer / cheaper ways to solve problems, which have no downsides at all relative to the bad, slow, insecure, expensive ways infra currently makes everyone solve problems, but you just feel constantly sad that you are superficially prevented from the autonomy to select the efficient solution accordung to your creativity and skill.
I'll offer a third opinion here, which is that the book is literally not possible to recreate accurately in film using current technology.

The challenge is that in Annihilation VanderMeer is very interested in the idea of a thing which challenges on a basic level the very way humans sense things. He heavily exploits the format of writing to accomplish this. The descriptions he includes are frequently impossible, contradictory, or non-sensical. Additionally, these descriptions are simultaneously specific and vague - and this tension between specificity and vagueness is itself a property of the things he describes in addition to the narrative technique. This seems very intentional to me - but in any case it relies heavily on a subjective interpretation formed in the reader's mind's eye. It is possible to imagine a thing with these kinds of phantasmagoric, perhaps dreamlike properties, but the film medium, as we know it, doesn't allow for that kind of flexibility - the moment an image is crystallized on film, it becomes a fixed, static thing for all viewers.

So in translating this to film format I think Garland really had to have his own personal take on the ideas in the book. Personally I thought it was a good (but flawed) movie with certain superficial similarities to the book in terms of plot. There were many directions a film based on this book could go; as has been shown by many book-to-film adaptations, a novel can be more tightly packed with information than a 2-hour movie. I think Garland chose some interesting facets of the book to focus on while doing something unique.

To answer your question - "What am I missing that many other people seem to be connecting with?". As someone who thought the first book was good (but perhaps not great), here is what I felt would be compelling to most readers:

1) The book was paced and structured sort of in a Dan Brown esque way. Events move quickly from scene to scene and every chapter leaves you with a lot of unanswered questions with potentially intriguing resolutions (e.g. What is going on in Area X? What is the creature/pit/lighthouse? What information are the protagonists hiding from one another? What happened to the other expeditions? What is the literal writing on the wall?). In short, it is a mystery, which is a good hook for many readers.

2) The book leaves a lot for the reader to fill in for his or her self. You get that impression that the characters in the book are also experiencing something similar themselves in their world. This is an interesting thought.

3) The book does some unconventional things. The main characters are not identified by name, rather their profession. The main characters are all female and they are all scientists. Etc.
This movie is basically a remake of Stalker.

I find DSLs and FSMs are the most satisfying things to develop. Getting a DSL right is like a magic turbo button and a FSM with the right states and transitions can help clarify really ugly problems.
Even more nonsense possible since the tag function doesn't have to return a string, it can return a function, meaning you could chain these, e.g.

function tag2(string, ...keys) {
console.log("tag2", string, ...keys);
return function tag1(string, ...keys) {
console.log("tag1", string, ...keys);
return "tag1-return-value"
}
}
console.log(tag2`input to tag2``input to tag1`);

yields

tag2 [ 'input to tag2' ]
tag1 [ 'input to tag1' ]
tag1-return-value

Wait, how? Haptic feedback lets you know you did something. A simple "bounce" is convenient when directly interacting; However, it does nothing to let you know what you did. To the point that it almost equivalent to the bouncing icon on your task bar.

That is, I expect the natural response to most of these feedbacks is to look at your watch. That not the case?
If a small business was out 82k because of human error as a result of a faulty product (the algorithm in this case) that's exactly what the court would say.
The harsh truth is that your expectations were wrong. I could be a lot nicer about this but it's the simple fact. You thought you deserved more because you busted your ass and took a risk, but the reality is that it's just sort of silly to work at startups and bust your ass without some legally binding agreement to potentially get a reward for your above-and-beyond work.

It's great making assumptions when you know nothing about the dynamics between two people, their social interactions, their history and basically anything else isn't it?

I mean, you could have just asked. But insulting random people you know nothing about is much less of a douchebag way to deal with it I guess.
Yeah, parent was discussing from the point of view of reality, where employees are not willing to pay for it (the opposite, they'd like to milk their employees even more).

Kubernetes as a Cloud-Native Operating System – On-Premises, Too
Really wish someone would step up to the plate with an Android or open platform smartwatch that even approaches the level of quality of the Apple watches. Their watches are slick but I'm very much opposed to "buying in" to the system. Correct me if I'm wrong, but an Apple watch without an iPhone to talk to (and subsequent iCloud account, apple text messages, Apple music etc) is just a very pretty watch with swappable faces, yea?
Here is some feedback:

The example (https://trackingco.de/public/9ykvs7rk) does not work for me. Also, the first time I visited the site I saw Lightning Bitcoin and then left. You lost me as soon as I read that because I'm not interested in that. I was just trying to find a simple (but useful) analytics service that's easy to use.
> Haptic feedback removes the most crippling weakness of the touchscreen, the inability to use it without looking.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that. But it does make interacting with a touch screen feel a lot more "physical".
In the US corporate world how often are people "sick with the flu" versus forced to work overtime?
Evolutionary, sure, but I've been happy with mine. I bought the cheapest one since I wasn't sure it would be useful, ended up liking the damn thing so much I'm going to buy an S4 shortly. Cellular, because I'm getting to where I'd rather not carry the phone around but I want to maintain minimal connectivity (and most of that connectivity these days is non-voice).

Everyone is absolutely entitled to their own use case and should buy whatever suits them. It's a free market.
The market for remote work isn't geographically constrained, so it doesn't make sense to make pay offers as if you were hiring in specific geographically constrained markets rather than the unconstrained remote work market.

One of the worst syntactical aspects of Scala is that you can define methods which cannot be called with invocation parentheses. Why anyone would ever want this is beyond my understanding.
The tracking issues have largely been cleaned up on the Fenix 5. It works well enough day to day for me, showing notifications from apps on my phone, allows me to blacklist apps, and has all of the features I need as a "serious" runner and backpacker/hunter. The Apple Watch isn't playing in that space though.
The Way We Categorize Hurricanes Puts People in Danger
FWIW, I can easily shift my gaze from the upper left corner of my left monitor to the lower right corner of my right monitor in significantly less than half a second on my triple monitor setup (my measurements ranged from 0.2s-0.5s), so I'd dispute that part of your comment.

I also maintain that this is significantly more intuitive than having to memorize keyboard shortcuts for each of my more frequently used programs.

I suppose everyone's workflow is different though. If you're comfortable with just one monitor then good for you. I for one will be a lot happier once I can arrange my workspace into a neat grid of windows arrayed across my desk.
If it can be mathematically defined, then they can add that code to make that check in their system.
The difference was that in Enron's case it was clear criminal intent to defraud, as opposed to security failures.

As far as "Congress literally passed a law to save Equifax from private lawsuits", what they did was part of the larger sweep of allowing companies to force arbitration on consumers. It was unrelated to the breach.
> If 2000 people want to see the concert and there are 1000 seats, what choice do they have? Sure, next time book a bigger venue, but this time... you just have to let people bid on the tickets and sell them to the 1000 highest bidders.

They do have some choices, at least when venues will cooperate and the government doesn't interfere on behalf of businesses with competing incentives. If the performer wants to make sure every fan has the same chance of purchasing a ticket at the list price, then checking ID when picking up tickets is probably the easiest policy. This has downsides, of course, like preventing sales if someone gets sick or has last-minute scheduling conflicts.

Perhaps a better idea is to have a ticket lottery with measures to prevent bots from flooding it and nabbing most of the tickets for resale. Ideally, each human who is interested (whether they want to attend the event or resell the ticket) would have the same chance of being able to purchase a ticket. I believe sites like Ticketmaster make some attempt at implementing this, but I have no idea how effective it is. It's probably effectively impossible to detect bots.

I'd like to point out that Relay also uses this template literal approach to write graphql queries. Then there is styled-components which lets users write css inside js and bind it to components using template literals.

It's not a "niche" usage, rather one of the raison d'etre of the feature. Even the MDN docs point this out quite early in the text.

I think sometimes we, as programmers, are too worried about our own experience coding than about the final product and its quality. And some of that might have been caused by terrible deadlines imposed by PjMs or "Architechts".

While I agree with the general sentiment only because I could never really get into Ruby beyond basic loops, and am beyond comfortable with JS, but it's hard to take this JS evangelism seriously when their site doesn't even scroll right on mobile.
That pattern of behavior is often indicative that the engineers care more about their concerns than their users, and in that case, why should we care?
If you're not using the tech to solve your users problems, but just using it to hammer your perceived nails, the choice of tech is unimportant, IMHO.
I'm probably nitpicking things, but if you're going to proselytize one path, show the best usage of it, not show off the worst usages of it in the presentation of it's benefits.

This article by Frederic over at Techcrunch has an interview with Sid, our CEO at GitLab. It should answer a lot of people's questions in the comments below. https://techcrunch.com/2018/09/19/gitlab-raises-100m/
I bought 1 concert ticket from Ticketmaster that cost $45. My final total was $72. They charged me 60% extra in 'processing fees' for something I could have just printed out. How much 'processing' does it take to display information on a web page?

They also don't let you just print the ticket. I had to pay extra to have a physical ticket snail mailed to me.

Paying 60% of the cost of the product just to help the company continue to justify their existence is freaking ridiculous.
let's use face recognition for it, maybe we can put it to use for something that isn't policing
Same here. I had to do a double take when she mentioned that. She is a pretty accomplished individual and I always assumed that a lot of her personal time was taken up doing programming related activities. Now I know you don't necessarily need to sacrifice all your personal time to become HN famous.
You would end up massively favoring the wealthy fans, who have a lot of disposable income, leaving less fortunate fans with basically no chance to get tickets.

The solution is to either make tickets non-transferable or make it illegal to sell tickets above face value.

Not everything needs to hit a perfect profit ratio.
Knowing ticketmaster, they would milk such a verified fan program for all it's worth. They'd want full access to the user's social media information for instance.
It seems like a weird choice to me. Zig's standard library functions that require allocation take the allocator as a parameter, and return oom errors back up to the caller to do with as they please. Usually, the caller will also just kick that error up until it reaches the top of the call stack and gets caught by the default panic handler, but at any point they can choose to handle it however they want. Handling the error by kicking it up the call stack is a single keyword at the callsite.

As a bonus, this means that when you're reading code you can easily spot the function calls that have a possibility of failing.
Ask HN: Where do you draw the line when it comes to how apps use your data?
It seems like most people agree that it is wrong for apps to sell people's data to companies who create campaigns to "influence" people into making decisions. But is it ever okay for a company to collect and use user data if it doesn't generate any negative externalities for the users, but does benefit the company? Where would you personally draw the line when it comes to how your data is used?
Unless you work for them, you haven't seen any proof of anything, outside of the tiny amount of information revealed since the breach.
The QardioCore is pretty decent too. It can show a flutter on the ecg.

The problem I see with the watch is that you have to manually start it (30 seconds touching the crown).

I think the QardioCore needs the app to record this, but I am not sure.
