I created one Laravel app with React. I use vue now. Although I'm not completely sold on using Vue(or React) for the front end.

For most Apps I still build them as a traditional web app with just enough javascript/jQuery on the front end as needed.

Granted Vue is really nice, I'm sure I'll move over to using it more.

Laravel feels similar to the Rails way.

The developer of Vue works closely with the Laravel community so there is great compatibility there.

Checkout the Laracon talks Evan speaks at Laravel Conferences.

Laracasts.com is similar to Railscast.com and a great place to learn Laravel. There are some free classes to get you started.

WordPress, y I still maintain some WordPress sites, I don't enjoy it but it's the easiest way to setup a blog/content site. I have some Laravel apps that are setup to connect to the WordPress database, it works well it's easy to setup objects in Laravel to interact with Posts, Comments, Reviews, etc. This is mainly for dashboards, batch editing of comments for VAs, etc.

As far as windows, I switched to OSX when I was learning Rails. I was always having problems with Rails tutorials and would spend 10s of hours on windows workarounds.

Using windows for Laravel is a little easier. Like Rails most of the tutorials, developers use OSX. I would recommend using a mac for development. It's just easier more productive.

Even the entry point macbook air is more than capable for Laravel or Rails development.

If you need one you could probably pick up a last gen macbook air on sale (new ones just came out and are $1199) I've seen them as low as $649 but have been on sale for $799 pretty often.

Laravel works well as a rest API it is setup for api routes out of the box. There are lots of tutorials for using Laravel as the backend and interacting with vue through an api.

There is a concept of "spike" work. Basically, when you do not know what it takes to implement something, you work on a "spike", the result of which will be new stories better describing what needs to be done.

Maybe you have never travelled to a poor country?

What percentage of Africans living in poverty, corruption, dysfunction do you think would like to migrate to Europe, the US or Canada? It's 'most'.

1/2 of Chinese would emigrate according to a few surveys [1].

Since everyone has the internet - they can now see that people elsewhere live in considerably higher material standards of living, why would they want to stay? Basically, family and culture ... but most people would trade that for a decent job and stable governance.

Yes - totally agree the solution is to help poor countries have some wealth, but what can we do to help? They mostly have systems of total corruption. Any real attempt to try to fix underlying problems would be utterly destroyed by leadership who wants to maintain their status. Either governmental or non-governmental.

Most African countries run on bribery. All the way up and down. So if a US Agency comes in and starts exposing this, how is the leadership going to react? With massive anti-American sentiment is how.

This is happening right now as China is greasing government figures to buy up land on the cheap. They're bringing in their own workers in lieu of hiring Africans. Why? Because they can, and they are paying off who they need to to keep it that way. [2

Finally - even if countries were wealthier - there would still be massive emigration.

Poland has a GDP/capita of about $14K US, but in PPP it's much higher. Poland is 'poor' for a rich country, but they are not poor. They have stuff. They have industry, they have regular clothes, housing, highways, governance that mostly resembles ours. None of it is UK/US standard ... but it's still pretty good. They are 'rich' compared to Nigerians, easily.

And yet, there's a massive exodus of Polish labour into other places, particularly the UK, which has caused calamity in Europe. That's a different kind of migration, because I think many Poles return at some point, but nevertheless, it's big.

So no, open borders would be a migration disaster by any stretch, even in some distant future where Central South American countries are hopefully much more 'caught up', it still can't work very well.

I think a NAFTA type arrangement for all of the Americas is within reason though: no visa requirement, and possibility of easy work for a few years, then apply for citizenship.

I think the fee for an H1 could be $1.5K a year. Maybe even a hint of a higher tax bracket, why not? $8K for an O1 sounds about right. You're supposed to be 'world class genius/talent' so that's not out of range.

Although unlikely, don’t rule out a tipping point situation. Say in ten years enough people bought E.V.s that gas stations started closing down. So less people buy ice vechiles so more gas stations close down.

At some point if you start getting range anxiety in your ice vechile it might not complete its 20 year turnover.

Note I did say this is unlikely in such a short time frame.
> Sprint are the root cause.

I disagree. there's nothing inherently wrong with short iterations or a predictable release window.

trying to do agile with fixed budget, fixed requirements and a fixed timeline is the core issue.

most of the problems with agile, including "devs having to do this much tasks or die" within each iteration, comes from trying agile on an inflexible plan.
> There are about 4 billion people waiting in line to enter the US if they could.

Honestly, you are over estimating the number of people who would like to come to the US. There are other wealthy countries which have a revamped immigration policy (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, some EU countries) which manage it well and don't get 4 Billion applications.

> H1 I think is a good program overall, it needs to be tweaked for fraud.

I think H1 also needs to be tweaked for easier transfer across different companies. This will make sure that people on H1 can easily switch if they feel they are getting paid less.

But I do agree with you overall on everything else.
It would be really cool to have the sort of Erlang-style processes in python -- where each process is a green process, so don't pay the cost of OS handling stuff, but at the same time you run multiple interpreters so that you still get the benefit of multiple cores [1].

Implementation-wise, this could be made simpler than removing the GIL, if we just fully give up on the concept of shared memory. (This is above my pay-grade, anyone with CPython internals knowledge, please share your thoughts!)

I've been trying to build a shared state system over message passing that doesn't use shared memory at all [2], and I have experienced that OS level processes are a high cost to pay, when you try to do things the Erlang way, launching thousands of processes.

How much overhead is it really? 15 minutes a day at most?
My only experience with H1b was when I worked at Amazon.

Lots of pressure to come in on the weekend. I certainly wasn't going to sacrifice my weekends. I'd just tell them no. I could work somewhere else.

But the H1b guys I worked with from India constantly caved to the guilt. If they were to lose the job, they'd have to pack up their entire life and go back to India to try again.

Easy high-skill exploitation.

> if these businesses bring about a net benefit to where they are located it can't be all bad?

The Foxconn deal in Wisconsin has been criticized for being a bad deal for several important reasons,

- Wisconsin competed and surpassed the tax incentive offers from Michigan and Ohio making for a tight margin,

- I've heard claims Foxconn has a reputation for making promises and then scaling back their plans. It's looking like this has happened. Foxconn change their factory plans from 'Generation 10.5 facility' to 'Generation 6 facility',

- Foxconn has promised to hire 13,000 employees at the plant. Scaled back plans might reduce those numbers to 3,000,

- Foxconn says not enough qualified engineers in Wisconsin, and may employ Chinese Engineers at the plant.

- Foxconn project went ahead without an environmental impact statement and will use over 5 million gallons of water per day from Lake Michigan,

When people vote with their paycheck, a tax incentive deal is certainly a political win. At least for this Foxconn deal, it remains to be proven if the deal is a net long term improvement for workers in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin has suffered underemployment in a depressed employment environment. Even with these downsides, maybe it's the deal that Wisconsin needs. And really, what's the impact to me if Wisconsin residents suffer from negative environmental impacts from this plant--I don't live there.

Well, I'm describing how my teams have worked, and it's true!

I'd be even stronger on that point – not only should metrics probably not be available outside of the team, but they are even completely without meaning if they're used outside the context of the team. Maybe one of the biggest problems people experience with Scrum or Agile generally is the inappropriate use of metrics.
I've been using Vivaldi for a while and find it performs better than Firefox on my Mac, especially since version 2.0. I prefer the Firefox license, but prefer using Vivaldi.
If you think about it, the added starting velocity from launching on the equator is nice but is still only ~6% of the total velocity required to get into low Earth orbit. (0.0625 = 1.5 / 24 given orbital period in LEO is ~90 minutes and rotation period is 24 hours). Even at 45 degrees latitude you're only losing 0.707*6=4.4% of your target velocity.
The people who are actually old in these blue zones were around literally before gyms or recreational running became a thing. I'd like to compare that against someone who has been going to the gym their entire life in those blue zones and see if they live even longer.
"Big N" companies have very arbitrary interviewing processes with hiring rates of less than 1%. There are local workers that can fill their job vacancies but they continue to make the process more and more difficult due to the number of applicants and limited job openings.

Introduction to Clojure (2013)
>Both are worth every penny.

Totally agreed. I cut my programming teeth on UPE and the K&R C book (2nd, ANSI edition), among others. I try to model the command-line tools I write on the style shown in those two books (Kernighan is a co-author of both); being doing that for a long time. Here's an example, a tutorial I wrote for IBM developerWorks - I mentioned it in an HN thread a while ago:

>They showcase delightfully a way of understanding and writing software, a kind of down-to-Earth simplicity aesthetics that is usually ditched in favor of sophistication.

True.

>I believe we're mostly past the point of favoring such philosophy (the Go programming language being maybe the most recent attempt, only partially successful at it), as it has fallen short of what the world demands from software, but it remains a very valuable influence.

Right, and The Go Programming Language book has Kernighan as a co-author too.

Semi-unrelated: I am very eager to see how well MindForger can be used with my TiddlyWikis. Prior to now seeing MindForger, TiddlyWiki was the only thing I'd describe as being close to being an IDE for the mind, and the possibilities of such excites me greatly.

I like that MindForger might be useful for reading documents, not just writing them.

Employers in California will win, employers in say Tennessee will lose out. If comp is being considered, then they should also consider the COL.
I've heard from a friend that Gigster is quite good. He's a freelancer so I don't have the client perspective.
Instead of breaking companies when they become too large, there should be automatic mechanism that works as disincentive for firms to grow into gigants. For example acquisition tax that starts to grow exponentially as the function of company revenue. After some point big companies would have to really innovate instead of buying innovation from outside.

At these sizes network externalities and market power of these companies dominate their growth and profits, not the internal innovation. Their internal 'moonshots' are not so good and companies are in constant startup acquisition spree. Microsoft had the same issue when it had monopoly power. Microsoft Research provided very little of value compared to various acquisitions.
Got bad news for you. There are a lot of states out there, (ie - all the other ones), that would give a whole lot more, for even a fraction of the jobs NoVA and NYC are getting.

It's a testimony to the wealth and power of NoVA and NYC that they scoff at 25,000 high paying jobs. I'm from Wisconsin, for instance, and we will have handed over roughly 4 to 5 BILLION dollars when it's all said and done.

And that was for only HALF the jobs that NoVA is getting. (Each job likely paying LESS than what most of the Amazon jobs will pay.)

I'm not jealous or anything. You guys know your value. Good for you. Self-Awareness is sorely lacking in the US these days. But I'm just pointing out that as corporate welfare goes, you guys in the coastal elite cities are in the best positions in the country.

"Your app is misusing background location for purposes other than location-related features and functionality."
> It would seem Apple are directly telling you that this aspect is misuse, on account of they call it that, and the actual disagreement here is "We do not ... agree that this is “misusing” the method". Apple's position seems clear.

The problem for is more that it's open and inconsistent interpretation, in their own words, when they decide that. Their position is "clear" with the respect to the other apps in our space that they banned, and then allowed back in. So "clear" to one entity combined (-1) * "clear" to another has the sum of zero clarity.

> What's your evidence for this? That they provide it themselves? There are plenty of things that Apple bless for themselves to do via apps, and not for 3rd parties to do. Is your evidence that the rules aren't being applied consistently? That's not evidence, that's an appeal to fairness.

This evidence is not shareable here for others privacy and respect. It is the combination of content of a number of conversations between app developers we communicate with, and with Apple's conversations with all of us.

> This seems an odd sentence to say just after "Apple has not said this aspect is misuse".

This is admittedly a poor and opaque hint at the above note.

We haven't been targeted first, we are in the pool of targets, and some Apple has let back in. These apps list screen time management as their primary raison-d'etre.
Old Apple ][ asm coder here.

Don't despair. It's not the merits of your "product" being judged. It's just the wrong audience (mostly). Colleges now don't even bother to teach two's-complement. Of course today's "coders" won't get it. This is a generation that has never had to count cycles, get timing just right, or worry about running out of memory. The idea of paying $1000 for a C compiler or $500 for an assembler (in 1985 dollars!), is almost unimaginable now. I remember the excitement of a 1200 baud modem -- my initial response was "wow! The text is coming faster than I can read it!"

The systems were primitive, sure, (but at the time they were amazing!) but this challenge was met with creativity. What the games lacked in photorealism they surpassed with "fun."

Programming was learned by doing. And most of the folks I met were amazingly generous about sharing techniques. It was like Jazz musicians sharing a cool lick, with others. There were no books, really.

Coding in assembly is like juggling. It takes a little effort to get all the balls in the air and get the rhythm going, then it goes until you hit a roadblock and it all falls down. You plan, think, and start again.

TBF Baikonur is known to be a fairly bad location from an efficiency perspective if you're trying for GTO/GEO: using pretty much the same rocket, you can send 6~7t to GTO from Baikonur while you can send 10 from Kourou (on 5N).

That's why as time went on, China kept building their new launch facilities more and more southernly (Jiuquan was built on 40N in the 50s, the recently opened Wenchang sits on 19N).
You're right for b1 = b2 xor s in the second bullet, I corrected it.

You cannot solve b3 before you solve s2. b4 is solved with s6 right after that you realize that s1 = b1, and thus s6 = b1 xor b4
The problem is not the starting velocity (which is indeed minor, and not an issue for LEO launches) it's the inclination burns you need to reach GTO/GEO.

With roughly equivalent rockets, there's a 30~40% difference in payload mass between Kourou (5°N) and Baikonur (45°N): Proton can launch 23t to LEO and 7t to GTO while Ariane 5 can send 21t to LEO and 10t to GTO.
"Regressive" is a loaded term in this context.

Council tax pays for services like the roads and the bins being taken out.

Having an expensive house doesn't mean you use more of those.

(It increases a bit up to a cap, because you probably do use them more if you have more money, but it obviously doesn't linearly scale).

A flat in London might cost 5-10x a flat in the North, but both individuals use the bins and roads roughly the same amount so their council taxes are about the same.
Is this Upwork trying to avoid falling afoul of tax legislation similar to IR35 in the UK? As far as I understand, it tries to crack down on people like OP who (in the view of the tax authorities) are essentially employees at a company but do the work freelance so both they and the company benefit from various tax perks.

There has been "demand" for years in largely the same areas.

Importance of moving average in technical analysis
At least in the US, this ownership can come with caveats. Namely, you can be kicked out if a majority of condo association owners want you out. Such as if a big company comes along and wants the building. It takes a lot more to forcefully move someone out of a house.
It was fixed after my comment.
We have council tax in the UK.

It's just not linearly proportional to the value of the home with no cap, because that makes no sense.

Cleaning the street doesn't become more expensive because your house became more expensive. Same for almost every other council-run service.

In a very indirect sense, it might cost more to employ street cleaners eventually if rent increases within a 30min-1h radius, but that's not in any reasonable sense linearly proportional to the value of a home in a specific area.
With the raise of all these "platform" companies - basically some inbetween that solves some QA and paperwork issues, we see that (i) there are "natural" monopolies/monopsonies developing (e.g. people don't look further than Amazon marketplace, companies giving out all their work via upwork, people watching only Youtube videos) and then (ii) that these platform companies start behaving in abusive and/or arbitrarily damaging ways.

Does anyone else think that this should be an issue for targeted regulation? No one would accept a company taking over the road network and then randomly trashing people's cars for incomprehensible reason, yet people seem to be dreamy-eyed and naive about these new inbetween platform companies and seem to think that the market will solve itself. (Which is - as may be known - not the case with monopolies)
Yes, that's how it should be and basically it sounds like you are then already doing a Kanban style working mode (and what purpose does the sprint rhythm than serve)?

Scrum by the books usually implies that releases happen after the po or the customer has accepted the increment at the sprint review.
curious how useful this would be given that the published date of the book is 2000 and this link is 1999. Serious question if anyone can answer it, I'm getting into lowlevel work lately and would appreciate the education if its still an accurate reflection of technique/technology.
