Yeah the managing of different messaging apps has become another chore that i despise. Oh my boss sent me a message in skype, my roommate will only call through whatsapp, my very specific group of friends will talk in a group chat in messenger and so on.
Okay, insofar as those words go, I can agree with that statement.

Because otherwise they’re just empty words.
Never done that, though I know people do it. When a roll was used up a bit (50+%), I'd flatten the roll and have a version small enough to put in my jacket. But I almost always had a backpack or a large bag with me in those days (school, then university), so I had a place for a full roll too.

Congratulations! I've been a fan of Vagrant for a long time and have done some Vault as well. I haven't yet had a chance to try Terraform, but everyone says it is better than Cloudformation. :-)

I'm curious what you think of this crazy idea?:

With databases, some ecosystems use declarative migrations, where you keep a description of your schema, and the system automatically takes you from here to there. I've heard .Net people say how nice this is. On the other hand with Rails & Django you have delta scripts that give imperative directions for getting from here to there, rather than a declaration of the end state. I like that solution a lot, because sometimes you need more control over what to do. (For example, changing a one-to-many relationship to many-to-many, and moving the existing data.)

It seems to me that Cloudformation and Terraform take the declarative approach to cloud management, and there is no tool for the imperative approach. (Cloudformation has Change Sets but you can't write those or edit them; they just tell you its plan.) Resizing your database's EBS volume may be an example where you want to give careful instructions. Try that in Cloudformation and it will destroy the old volume and attach a new one. :-)

I'd love a tool that lets you keep a history of "cloud migrations", where you write both the "up" and the "down". It could be as simple as some organization around a bunch of fog/boto/aws-sdk scripts, although it would be even nicer if it had helper methods like in Rails, e.g. add_autoscaling_group, and those would usually know how to reverse themselves.

The really great feature would be to have "transactional DDL" for cloud migrations. With database migrations you get this for Postgres but not MySQL, and it's really nice. I know this isn't 100% possible, but CloudFormation comes close already with its rollback attempts. You'd definitely need your own layer of helper methods for this, because I can't imagine implementing it without something like a Command pattern. (The way AWS auto-generates their API tools, maybe it wouldn't even be that difficult to generate an identical API that just records what you want to do.)

I've pitched this idea a few times to AWS people, but maybe you should do it instead. :-)

Anyway, Hashicorp has contributed a ton to my developer happiness, so I wish you great success. Oh, and congratulations on your wedding!
None of those compare to Napoleon’s rampages or the subjugating of half the world by the British Empire. In the classical world raizing entire cities was not uncommon.

Ads in desktop software are dead. Also, just think of the amount of serious, transient eyeball traffic you'd need which sounds like an unlikely demographic for a Mac app. Especially if you think these same people would be interested in your Patreon. You'd basically have to burn all goodwill to make a few pennies off them.

The only reason ads make a little money on mobile is because of the lack of adblocker penetration + low tech-savviness + compulsive mobile games. When was the last time you even used a desktop app with ads?

Donations aren't a source of income. Though I encourage you to try a tip jar like Patreon just to see how vanishingly impossible it is.

Sounds like you're still deciding if you even are trying to make money. But make no mistake: you won't luck into money by writing cool blog posts and building free features that people ask for.

Building a revenue channel into your application with IAP sounds like the only thing that has a shot and the only thing that might align with your goals.

The base instruction set is small enough to fit on a card. Of course adding the floating point, vector extensions, etc. would make it a bit harder to squeeze into a single page, but I think it would still end up smaller than the x64 spec.

> because they can't just show the main cross street names on the screen. It absolutely blows my mind that map products ship without street names clearly visible at all times.

Really. It seems they actually put some effort into showing the names of most streets except the one you're interested in. No, really.

It's amazing how often this happens, because it's almost mind reading at this point.
I find anecdotally that someone usually has something that they are the 1/1000 over. For some people it's comment threads or sharing articles with friends but somewhere they fall into a 1/1000 category where they put their creative effort. Not to say that there is a large amount of people that will read your comment and not respond.

The other thing that may be the case is the overview effect which was recently brought up, it may take 40-50 seconds to read a post but if it takes everyone 10 minutes to write a post then even if everyone on HN spend a quarter of their time writing posts you would still get the 1/100 ratio. Just food for the thought.
Thanks, sorry, you are totally right and I should be more specific.

Yes. It’s a metadata leak and generally I am pro the end-to-end principle but encrypted SNI actually forces everyone to MITM. Whether that is good or bad is a value judgement but for people who have been doing “light touch” egress filtering it is a huge PITA. It is actually going to force more invasive surveillance in basically any regulated workplace.

I can't imagine any land being useless. Even contaminated radioactive land can probably be put to use as a place to store more hazardous waste or weapons testing.

It never ceases to amaze me how dismissive people are of desert land.

This particular land is covered with vegetation, it's not even some barren landscape of endless sand dunes. All he'd need to do is drill wells and build out some PV arrays and it'd already be a place people could easily/affordably build relatively comfortable, albeit simple, lives. Hardly useless.

I'd certainly prefer acres of such desert land over bitcoin of equal value.

All of the weed transiting the Canada/US border is flowing from Canada into the US. Canada legalizing weed will have little to no impact on that, except reducing the risks for the Canadian growers. Legalization in several US states, especially Washington and California has already killed most of that trade though. There is plenty of weed being grown in the US now, and it's much easier to move it between states than it is to move it over a border.
Well there's different levels to it. He went full bore and did a lot of first class travel (which is harder to get due to low availability).
If you just take a couple of hours getting familiarized with the different frequent traveler miles program and chose the right one for your travel pattern, plus make sure to get a credit card with a decent mile accumulation rate, you can already get a couple of business class long haul flights out of it.
Obviously this isn't legalisation. But as more and more countries/states legalise recreational marijuana, hopefully politicians will see the light and see that there's little demonstrable harm in legalisation, and that legalisation results in far more benefit than harm.

Unfortunately, this is unlikely. At least in the UK, New Zealand, and Australia. Politicians aren't opposed to drug law reform on the basis of safety, they might say they are, but in reality they're opposed to drug law reform because they believe that drug use is a moral sin. There are a significant number of politicians (in particular the religious ones), who believe that it's a sin to alter your mind, whether it be by alcohol, marijuana, mushrooms, MDMA, etc. etc. And they believe that it's their God-given duty to stop people from committing these sins.

The sad thing is that there are a lot of people in society who agree with them, hence they keep getting voted in. Just look at the comments on Facebook on any news story about somebody dying at a festival from drug overdoses, and there will be a slew of people literally saying that they deserved it for taking drugs in the first place.

And in Australia, I can't help but think that some politicians are using the war on drugs as a weapon in a fight against alternative culture. In Sydney, they have drug dogs at train stations, in particular in the Western Suburbs (the poorer, more ethnic side of the city), despite the fact that drug use is constant through the socioeconomic scale. Run a sniffer dog through the investment bankers' offices and see how much coke they'll pick up. They'll also use sniffer dogs at music festivals (especially non-mainstream events, like techno festivals), but they won't deploy them for the horse races, despite the fact that drug use is rampant at both.
You are making quite a lot of assumptions prematurely presented as facts, although they may not apply at all to the person you're talking to.

Personally, while I don't doubt that the Motorola works fine for you, I wouldn't even consider it since it doesn't run iOS. Or likely any up to date OS in 3-4 years.

There is a lot of hate about this, but most comments actually sound like the OP didn't even read the article.

According to the article this is not going to be a catering service where 1 order brings food for the whole company, but an integration of Eats into Uber for Business.

> a way for organizations to use Uber Eats to manage food delivery for employees, whether they’re ordering to the office or traveling for work.

So it just basically something allowing people to order food _for themselves_ while having a part of the order automatically paid by the company.

So, no issues here of driver having to "carry up 5 catering trays plus utensils and sides for your office." like the top comment said.

This is barely just a new payment system basically.

[full disclosure: I used to work at Uber, but not on Eats]
Out of personal curiosity, I like to ask more experienced people about their leadership philosophy. Specifically, "How do you see yourself as a leader?" Apart from often being educational for myself, how somebody answers this questions says a lot about their character.
Some suggestions are horrible, but some of the suggestions are pretty good and forward thinking. Allowing img elements to have fallback content would have have the introduction of new image formats (jpg, png, svg) much more painless. We later got the alt-attribute for fallback text, but just using the content for fallback would be both simpler and more powerful.

It is probably a case of worse-is-better. They chose the simplest possible solution and shipped. Introducing the img tag is what made Mosaic dominant.

Later Netscape went to far with worse-is-better. Remember they introduced the <SPACER> tag to allow designers to control whitespace, at a time when Internet Explorer already had shipped with support for CSS padding and margins. Worse-is-better only works when you ship features before the competition, it does not mean worse features will win out over better features.
>The problem is that executives rarely have enough overview over what is happening at the lowest layers of a company to ensure that data leaks could not happen, they might want to set the tone and environment but that by itself is absolutely no guarantee.

But given the law and personal risk, they’re now incentivized to find a solution to that problem (in the same fashion that employee coming forward creates a PR risk). If this weren’t a possibility, and a viable one at that, then data leaks would be an inevitability, and it wouldn’t be sensible to fine the company (they can’t get insight into the matter, so they can’t do much to stop it from occurring; you’re going to fine them for succumbing to a natural disaster?)

If you don’t expect top-down insight to be possible, then I’m not sure how your carrot would plug the leak. It would announce it and let people prepare for the damage, but not stop it fron occurring again (the only people with insight are middle and lower; the lower you go, the less affected by the fine).

But ofc it is possible, and it is sensible to fine the company, and I don’t see why it wouldn’t be sensible to expect a c_o to have some insight into the matter. Ofc such a strong punishment as jailtime, on any data loss is too much, but data loss after not reaching some defined minimum standard of protection (essentially leaving it in a state where loss is expected) for the type of data? It seems reasonable to enforce larger punishments against the people in charge of ensuring that those minimums are met. Eg if security audits aren’t ever done, its negligence. If the data is important or even just large enough, its criminal negligence.

tldr; your carrot has the same dependency as the stick: if one can hope to effect change, the other should too. (which is more fair/effective is a different matter)

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky.
“I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied.
“Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky.
“I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes.
“Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
This is such a dark use of tech. Involuntary using people's phones and fta it says data goes mostly to hedge funds. Then the kicker was at the bottom:

"In September, as Hurricane Florence churned toward the Carolina coast Thasos watched evacuation zones and found that in well-to-do census blocks, 65% of the people fled, while only 39% left poor areas. Such information could inform disaster response or infrastructure spending, yet it might also have commercial value. “You might look at that and say, ‘Gosh, I could price insurance differently,’ ” Mr. Pentland said."

So they're not even interested in savings lives so much as pricing insurance. Fantastic.

Web applications can be surprisingly complicated distributed systems, when you take into account..

- the JS frontend that communicates with AJAX and/or WebSockets IPC with the backend

- the backend may actually be a bunch of microservices

- the fact that there are many concurrent frontends (users)

- messages from frontends may end up reordered/dropped/rerouted on their way to different backend ipc channels (microservices or replicated backend)

- the frontends are untrusted (the user or browser may tamper with your code running there)

- the backend server is also often replicated / sharded

- there are caches (think Redis) that the backends share in addition to the main DB.

- load balancers, high-availability reverse proxies with various failover propreties, etc

- various caching behaviours that are only partly under your control (browser-side content caching, DNS, etc)

- all of the above are interconnected over unreliable channels

- there are secrets and security involved so functional assurance ("pressing button X always makes function Y happen") doesn't tell you enough

(I have no TLA+ experience so can't say how one would use it with a web app, though).
Twitter is dying, and upper management is creating the conditions for these toxic twitter users to ruin the site. Twitter has royally wrecked the API and done numerous other things that hurt the platform, but the content generated by a subset of users is what has created this lethal situation for Twitter as a platform.
> I'm kind of surprised they aren't making it permanent though - $2 million seems pretty cheap, and making it government-run ensures it won't be taken away again.

Government programs start small like a foot in the door. Then they start to grow due to their very nature (provide a service with no regard for cost or return, if town B has a service then town D is also entitled to one, etc) and the argument is always that their service is indispensible.

Then of course the interests of those working for the state-controlled company also play a role, and the existence of the service starts to become a political sticking point that syphons millions each year and piles o millions more in debt.
