This here. Having someone who doesn't have to social skills of a house plant to talk to the customers, and then have the neckbeards in the back room code it up, is not the way to go, and nowadays I refuse to work with partners who work like this (or with subcontractors who want to force this workflow on me, and not limited to software dev either - I no longer work with e.g. building contractors who work like this either). And yes, I understand the point of specialization and division of labor, and yes in the past I too would have much preferred to just be the guy being handed perfect specs and never having to talk to anyone from the outside, and then when things go wrong there is always 'the spec' to blame. But it just doesn't work that way. In the past, being a 'business programmer' was called being an 'analyst-programmer'. I never really understood that, until I got to a point where I realized that the actual 'programming' (i.e., 'coding') is the easy part; it's the 'analysis' of the problem (well, and the formulation of a solution to the problem that comes out of that analysis) is the key to delivering value. But still, the relationship between the problem understanding, the solution and the implementation of that solution is so close that you just cannot completely separate them.

I interviewed a bunch of firms for building a website last year; nothing particularly fancy. Several of them (at least the big firms) send in a guy who would always start off explaining their 'process' (all fancy sounding), that process essentially being 'you tell me what your problem is, then we will together design a solution, and then I'll hand you off to our project manager back at the office who will just have the programmers implement it; you'll never even have to see these guys face to face!'. Uh sure, probably to 95% of your customers, naive and gullible because of lack of experience, that sounds great and like it's an advantage, but no way I'm going to get caught with my pants down 6 months from now because there was some aspect we didn't cover in the 'design' but the programmers coded it up like that anyway because hey it say so in the spec, right?
Google properties are a lost battle.

Google Sheets and Google Docs have been horrible on anything than Chrome for a while as well, and I guess they have no incentive to make that situation change. Firefox is dealing with it better than before I think, but I won’t hold my breath for parity to ever come.
I wonder why. I love her work and heard about it here.
Yep, Luc's own app was previously approved with Mojave mentioned in the release notes, then rejected later by Apple for mentioning it. It seems to be the luck of the draw, depending on which reviewer you get and how strictly they want to apply the rules that day:

No, I do not believe that it is an "entirely independent" statistics/rate. I believe they are very closely related. But if you sincerely believe they are entirely independent statistics then I kind of understand the logic of your argument.
> Apple doesn't care about browser extensions now, it seems they want everyone to move to the new model, so they can collect revenue on sales on ad blockers.

The web is terrible without a serious adblocker and the available alternatives (paid or not) are unable to take away the same amount of junk.

I'm self-hosting my mail server using mailcow[0] for little over a year now and everything works fine. It comes with a admin interface to manage accounts and the SoGo webmail client[1].

Getting it up and running was also pretty easy. Create some DNS records as described in the documentation, cloning the repository and starting everything using docker-compose.

ITER is not the route to an economical fusion reactor. The supporters have even stopped promoting it as such. It is now a research reactor. We may find out some novel information on how plasma behaves in a certain regime, but this data is not likely to be useful in building a future reactor. The amount of resources that have been diverted from fundamental fusion research to be spent pouring cement and building magnets is a tragedy. We should have a thousand $3 million dollar or a hundred $30 million dollar experimental reactors, not this monstrosity.
I'm a huge fan of FOSS, but do you really think that you have full control over any modern piece of software? I think that underestimates how many people actually work on such a project and how many new updates we're getting on a daily basis. Nobody is more than %-wise controlling that stuff anymore. And this % is based on regular financial(!) investment in developer-hours but not in what software you use.

PS: I just fetched a project I'm actively working on. Last fetch was Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. >50 new commits fetched today. Until I'm finished reading and understanding all of them, there will be >500 more I suppose.
Pricing 101: Price has nothing to do with the cost of providing the service, and everything to do with the value the customer puts on what they're buying.

The value you put on email is $10/year, so Fastmail doesn't represent good value. Other people obviously think its worth more. Fastmail are providing their service to those people.
I don't agree that the content of the leaked video[0] was reasonable. Google essentially controls information, so they have tremendous power. Their staff have openly called to subvert democracy, which I think most reasonable people find incredibly dangerous. And no, I don't like Trump.

Agreed - Particularly infuriating, is Google’s habit of returning search results with many missing terms, implying that they know whats best for me- ignoring a large part of my precisly crafted search input.
I know there is Verbatim option, but this is another slow step and does not work in combination with valuable time filter.
Wish there was an option to always use Verbatim and more default time filters such as 3 months, 6 months.
From the Business Insider article:

> With Brave, publishers get around 55% of revenues: 15% go to Brave, 15% go to the partner that serves the ads, and 10% to 15% goes back to the user

So they went from 55% for the publisher... to 15%?
Because if you have 10,000 customers paying $50 that's much nicer than having 100,000 customers paying you $5.
I'm split between GMail, ProtonMail and Yandex. Each of them having upsides and shortcomings, I'm quite happy

Where are you? Where I live the banks are pretty much a cartel that haven't had to handle competition for decades and view their customers with infantilizing condescension. And there are loads of fees, as well as absurd interest rates on mortgages. Oh, and they destroyed the country, at least for a while.
Another happy user here, but I think they deserve much more credit than simply being a cheap offer.

They're big on both security and privacy (you can even sign up anonymously and send them cash through the mail), have some pretty cool PGP features, they strip the IP address from outgoing mail (underrated feature) AND they run a fairly updated XMPP server along with a Tor exit.

For €1 a month you get 2GB of storage, 3 aliases (includes catch-all for custom domains), CalDAV/CardDAV sync, along with 100MB WebDAV storage for their office suite (which I've admittedly never used.)

Good service, great price, pretty cool company. More people should check them out.
Yes, I use their calendar web app on Desktop (the one next to Mail). For mobile, I sync individual calendars into my Android Calendar ("CalDAV-Sync").

My biggest issue with the Google Calendar was the syncing rate of 24 hours for iCal feeds. On Fastmail, new events appear quite fast (and I can force the update manually, if I need to).
Fastmail is paid and very costly while Gmail is free, not very good alternative for me.
I remember as a teenager when this was all happening. The archives are paid only but Life Magazine had a big spread showing the bridge's re-dedication.

TV covered it and if my memory is correct 60 minutes interviewed McCulloch and covered his plans for Lake Havasu. Unfortunately their online archives don't start until the early seventies. The year the bridge was dedicated was the first year of the program.
If you think Apple's software updates provide "predictable results" you can't have been paying attention for the past few years.
I have no personal experience in this matter, but through watching videos of bird training experts (in my case [1]) I learnt that parrots can be trained to be friendly with the entire family. Parrots might still prefer one family member, but it can be trained to get along with everyone else too. Of course matters get more complicated if the bird has been previously owned and has developed a bad personality.

I used to sleep like this for many years, though I shifted a little less than one hour per day, my full circle was around a month. What fixed it for me:

1) Getting out every day, even when I don't have to.

2) Using alarm for going to sleep, not for waking up.

3) I think this is the main one - I've got some social obligations, so I needed to be awake during the day.
That's part of the issue, but Google also automatically extends your search terms with words that it believes are relevant to your search. I will also give certain words a higher relevance based on what ti believes you are really searching for. Unfortunately this often leads to search result pages full of entirely irrelevant results, while pages containing the exact words in your search term are few and far between, if they are shown at all.

This is my biggest gripe with Google's search engine. It used to be that you could specify exactly what you want to get and it would find it for you. Now it thinks it knows what I want better than I do, so it refuses to show me things I know exist and that every other search engine will find with very simple, straight-forward search terms.
Thanks for the recommendation. I'll give this one a go for sure. The use case is a non-profit hobby project so I'm trying to keep the costs low.
>only two implementations exist that are anywhere near "practical"

Out of curiosity, why F* or Idris are not practical?
You can get the Adblock Plus app, which using the new API.

This is a tradeoff Apple made valuing privacy and performance over user freedom. The new content blocking API is safer and faster.

It surely is different. We at least managed to contain some of the issues in normal operation. Back in the day, crashing whole OS in BSOD/panic style was more common, drivers unstable, things written in not-so-safe languages more popular.

So ultimately it depends what do you mean by reliable - by itself, functionality might not be so much better, but yes, sometimes you don't mind as much as you would do back then.
Well he was replying to me and I didn't read him as uncivil at all.

His response ("syncing is expected") is completely on-point when talking about the PoLS. I disagree, obviously, and think syncing is scary voodoo magic. I don't see how you can say "users are unsophisticated and don't understand the difference between web sites and web browsers" and also say "users are sophisticated and expected config syncing".

Unfortunately, to get any further we have to test users.

C, Python and one of C#/Java is what is considered a basis for graduates I think. Maybe a taste of one functional language so they have some idea about the concept. Nobody expects fresh graduates to be experts in programming languages as they will probably specialise in 1-2 languages in their first and second job and that will guide their career. It could be they end up using some totally different niche language in their job so better to stick to couple of major languages during university computer science courses.
The very fact that drug-using coworkers are able to maintain a regular job demonstrates that they're stable and functional, though. You can't say the same for most of the drug-using homeless population.

IIRC when SLC got most its chronically homeless into permanent housing and assistance, their problems did decrease substantially. But most still weren't really able to work.

The links seems so obvious to me with the often mentioned "mental health" symptom of shouting at random strangers: in a high density environment, our universal gut reaction to seeing a stranger in misery is to pretend that we did not notice, that we did not see them. I've never been on the receiving end of this, but I imagine that it can only be a matter of time until a healthy human mind will try anything to break that invisible barrier (even if it only makes things worse).

I have good hopes that pwa+wasm will change that. What killed windows mobile is the lack of apps. In a world where you have performant apps, that are completely os independant, and do not even need to be distributed through a gated store, it makes it a lot easier for a challenger to break through.

It matters because I’ve spent the last 3 years as a co-founder of a Veteran Support charity called No Duff (www.noduff.org).

Root cause data for the vast majority of the 233+ Veteran support incidents we have responded to include a lack of belonging, community, meaning, and purpose in Veterans’ lives post service.

Recreational motorcycling community(much like the Veterans community) is still stuck in the pre-internet and pre-smartphone hub and spoke “siloed” club model.

We don’t want to change the world for everyone.

But we do want to help motorcyclists find belonging, community, personal meaning, and social purpose.

Ask HN: Cv review service for experienced freelancer? CV tips?
14 years experience in software dev. I have been working freelance most of the time and accumulated a lot of projects.

In the past, I just added each project to my CV, but I get the impression that this is not a good way anymore as it seems I get less often invited to interviews.

I'd like to shorten my cv to one page but not sure how.

Can anyone recommend someone who would review my cv?

Alternatively, do you know examples of CVs that you consider well done?

btw recently moved to the UK

Many thanks
Nah.. Just another closed source browser for `vendor lock-in`. no thanks.

One thing to keep in mind about Fastmail is that all their servers are hosted in the US and they have no plan about changing this (I asked). Post-Snowden this means you can be quite sure that all mails will end up being analysed by the US authorities

I need to respectfully disagree with you here. In a free market, pricing does have something to do with the cost of providing a service because companies that overcharge would quickly lose market share to competitors, especially in a wildly competitive space like email.

Also, ten bucks a year has nothing to do with how much I'd personally be willing to pay for email. It is just my estimation of the amount you could charge people while still keeping healthy profit margins in this industry, however I don't have much domain knowledge regarding email and that figure could be very wrong. I'd love to hear from an expert.
Tried bing today, failed to get me good and relevant results. What are you talking about? Google rocks.

Also, edge was having troubles with YouTube dropdowns, uses bing by default and try to convince me to not change it as default browser for chrome.

Horrible UX to get user to use it's inferior product
For the privacy, quality, and features it offers at the reasonable price of $50/year, I would say that it's a fantastic alternative. It'd be hard-pressed to find anything free that is on par.

We do, but at the same time, we spend considerably less than our developed peers.

Right now we mostly get what we pay for: we pay a reduced rate and get reduced results, which in this case largely translates to more poor people suffering. We could change that, certainly we have the funds necessary, but we've collectively decided not to.

My favourite tool for dealing with third-party apps is Bulk Crap Uninstaller [0][1] by Klocman Software (Apache license).

The real question is how can you disable Microsoft apps if you don't want them? For example, disable Cortana on a Win10 system and something new will break every day, including security updates.

I didn't downvote you, but perhaps people are thinking that attitudes like the one presented in your original comment are what lead to IE6 and the general state of the internet in the late 90s / early 2000s?
Europe is not different in this regard. Usually the opera is sung in the language it was written in (tends to be German or Italian). So in England/UK most Operas are in those languages, not in English. There are some of course, and they make more of an effort now to put on things which were written in English to make it more accessible.

You're correct to compare them to Musicals though, in terms of content/storyline they are very similar, the musical style and social class of the audience (in general) are the big differentiator. You can also listen to Opera without visiting an Opera house though.

Opera is a remnant of the worst kind of nouveau riche status seeking.

This is a bit reductive and unfair - people can enjoy the music of Opera without thinking it makes them better than others.
> My first real exposure to the 24 hour news cycle was during Desert Storm and I remember the coverage of CNN was not only reputable, but explemplary

?!?!?! It's funny to see how different viewpoints can be. The CNN coverage of Iraq 1 (and 2) is often given as a textbook example of how pro-military propaganda can be achieved thanks to "embedding": News networks need images, the easiest way to get the most striking images is to be embedded within military units, the military are more than happy to comply, as long as they keep editorial control of what is published: win-win for both, but a definite loss for impartiality

Agreed, it's not about the tools, but the process. I've worked with different agile coaches - most of them were crap, but one of them really struck a chord in how he would find flaws on the organisation that would reflect on the software side. He was really good at devising strategies to overcome this.

To address the specific question, I think most of the time there's a problem because there is no one that takes care of making sure everyone has the same vision and understanding of what needs to be done. And because sometimes words fail us, I think mockups are a great way of uncovering and sharing requirements.
