Here are the author's examples:

>Nike and Reebok

Again, wtf? Even when reebok stood alone, there was still Adidas in the picture. Not a duality
do it right up front,

Ok, but again what do you suggest is 'right' then, any example? Because as laid out, for me, it is right, since we have zero problems.

Every application I've ever seen written under labview is expected by its creators and its users to crash randomly and continually for no explainable reason.

Hmm, strange. Sounds to me like those creators must be doing something wrong. I mean, we've been running a couple of Labview applications for +10 years and I honestly think none of them ever crashed (where 'crash' means suddenly stops working without apparent reason because of a bug in Labview itself, not come to a halt due to programmer error).
Also wen to, I don't know, 3 or 4 updates, without much problems. Again I think it just comes down to hwat I said first: the hard part might be fuguring out how to do Labview right, I guess.
Most, by a wide margin. I checked with my bank, and they seem to have ten offices in the whole country with cash. I happen to live "only" 7 km or so from one (and I live in the center of a big (by Swedish standards) city), but many would have some 500 km of travelling to do to get to one of these offices.
I miss surprisingly few of those, notebook and picasa basically. Could have missed Reader but it was replaced by the theoldreader almost overnight thanks to advices here (I wasn't a community user but a solo one so I did not miss the features that may not have been replicated).

I think the bigger issue is the features google removed or modified from some of its products; like my biggest miss is true verbatim search.

It's a great option, but it's a hell of a lot of work if you want to do it right. At the end of the day, you also need to continue to provide them all the benefits and perks of developers that came to you with more seniority. None of this is bad, unfair or in any way problematic, it's just a lot of work. In return you may get a bit of loyalty, but again that only goes so far.

I like to hire a mix. Have 1 senior person (initially that could be yourself, it'd always be me in the start) per 5-10 junior people. The juniors should also be a blend to some degree, you do not want some super senior developer coaching 10 new grads, but if you get the right mix...you can create a super productive team this way.
It seems like the UK government’s Treasure Act really incentivizes the right kind behavior in these situations. He found it, contacted the right people and once it gets evaluated he and the landowner are going to get a big payday. Better than making off with valuable artifacts and destroying the site.

> The Treasure Act allows for a reward up to the market value of the treasure to be shared among the finder and the tenants and/or owner of the land on which the treasure was found. The amount of the reward and how it is divided among the claimants is determined by the Treasure Valuation Committee.

3x Cisco Catalyst 3750G-48PS Port switch, a few GBICs if you want to play with the fiber connectivity.
3x Cisco 2901 Routers, insure you get at least the T1 modules and cables.
Make sure you buy the gear with mounting kits so you can rack them, along with purchasing the proper cables.
If you want to learn more about VOIP you would need to purchase Cisco CUCM or something similar to Asterisk and possibly the processing modules for the switch/router or buy a switch that already has it licensed.

You may also want to get a rack to rack all the equipment as it can get pretty heavy and looks nice and professional when racked. The benefit of getting the older gear is that you can do all this for a few hundred dollars. If you want to learn the new stuff later on it will cost more, but you will know all of the hands on stuff by then and can truly benefit from virtual labs (remotely connected to physical hardware console port).
I have similar memories. I remember as kids we used to play in an old castle by the beach, its just open and anyone can go and wander around it. I travel around the UK with my kids and these days everything wants to charge an entry fee, even other castles in similar states of decay/disrepair.

I've heard the complete opposite, so as usual, it's impossible to know what to actually believe outside of a few basics when it comes to nutrition. I figure I might as well just stick to believing higher fat and protein is good for you since you can find other articles saying so and it aligns more with what I like to eat and carbs seem to make me tired.

Just tried on my iPad. Preview works in both Chrome and Firefox, but neither save (I do have PowerPoint loaded on the iPad and I use it there occasionally.)

In Chrome when I save a new browser tab opens with a lot of data - I'm assuming that it is what would have been written as a ppt file.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
There's several aspects here.

I quite agree that if Google does not get into the top 2 it will likely be irrelevant in that market.

The other aspect, as discussed in the article, is that this is a completely new market and way of doing business for Google, which seems to create a clash of cultures. If that is indeed the case it may be extremely difficult for Google to overcome.

"The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing" is a must-read, by the way, as is the one on branding.
Yes, google code search was a great service. One could use regular expressions and limit the search to particular language or license. Moreover it indexed code from any tarball or repository google bot run into, so the sheer size of data one was searching was hard for others to match.

This is a super interesting analogy and it's changed my perspective a bit. But it all depends on your end goal. You say:

What is it doing? Do we want our AIs to maximize learning or just human-like behavior? If it's the latter, I believe you absolutely want to look at neuroscience and emulate the human brain. Of course, airplanes are super good at flying, but they look nothing like birds.

Google Wave is the one that stands out on that list for me. It was such a fantastic and ambitious idea, but the execution was so buggy that it was basically unusable.
I compiled it (takes a while there's a lot of native modules) and ran it on a Surface Go. Here's a video:

Short version:

- Task manager, CPU cores etc works.

- Touchscreen keyboard works

- Yeah the globe is the location of your public IP plus socket connections (ie Get-NetTCPConnection / netstat)

- It's slow, and Ctrl C doesn't work. It's not going to replace Terminus (or ConEmu, if you haven't heard about Terminus) as your main terminal anytime soon. But it is fun.

1. Because it is a very different thing to have an internally managed cloud than it is to offer this as a product with the massive support required for enterprise, something that Google has never put much resource into.

Amazon and MS have vast support networks because enterprise wants to feel like they have some control and feedback on their systems.

Also, unless you can innovate in the space (or go really cheap), why would I ever choose a smaller player over a larger one?

This is another example of the problem these rich companies have where cash is not a problem but identity and direction is.

> new trainees leave when they realize they can get better salaries elsewhere

This is one of my biggest gripes about software companies, particularly larger ones. You hire someone fresh out of school and they work for you for 5 years? They damned well need to be paid at that point like someone with 5 years experience, not someone who started at a fresh grad salary with a nominal 3%/year raise.

I 100% agree with everything you’ve said about training people up “from scratch”. The most loyal teams I’ve seen have been in that exact same situation.

re: Google Wave

"why dead? - Google Wave was discontinued because there just weren’t enough active users. The IP was later transferred to Apache when the development was discontinued."

Kinda. But more accurately, there weren't enough active users because Google __completely__ botched the beta. In restricting the invites then prevented already establish groups for trying it. For example, if you have a group of 4 or 5 and not as many invites, it was no go.

Keep in mind, Wave was pre-Slack. The market was there. It was primed. It was waiting for something smart and collaborative. Yet Google did the one thing you don't want to do with a team-centric tool...intentionally leave out at least one team member.

Diane Greene is and never was a good executive to lead an enterprise business. She is more of a technologist/scientist and better at small/medium sized businesses.

She built VMware which was a great technology but stupidly sold to EMC for $60M, leaving a lot of money on the table. EMC rightly fired her because she couldn’t scale and replaced her with Paul Maritz who was more suitable for this job.

The idea that she could handle a large and diverse org like GCP was a gamble at best, and it looks like it lost, again.
It's all black or white, right. Someone says something less than flattering about your latest ideology and the gloves come off. Consider not identifying so hard with your tools, for all our sake.

There are very few rules in C; same in Forth, Common Lisp and Perl among others; they provide tools, not religions. Python was always borderline.

These days it's like they're in some kind of competition to stuff as many rules as possible down peoples throats and get away with it. And that's not even the weird thing, the weird thing is that users are begging for more.
Eh a dying whale is still dying. Google missed the cloud and is next in line for the privacy burner (see Facebook) they arent even in the top 3 by market value anymore.
That, and they were stingy with invites. That is, unless your whole team had invites it was completely useless as team tool.

Wave was everything Slack __still__ isn't.
I feel like if you apply the same stringent measurement you'd apply there to any other social apps, you'd still find that facebook is still leading the pack...

The definition of an "active user" can get pretty contentious, but let's just say it's someone opening the application at least once in a month (which is a pretty ridiculous metric but works as a baseline) -- FB is in uncharted territory.
It's not nice to seem it work and I know exactly how I feel about them.

My guess is that you don't have a six pack and you know exactly why staying trim is hard. But acting surprised let you plug your irrelevant lifestyle.

But if you're serious, then you must have a very hard time understanding people and the modern world if you live in such a bubble so opaque you can't even understand why people get fat. My first step would be to understand it, not trivialize it.

This is a demo for their stroke to text converter. It took me a while to figure that out. I was hoping to run it local to my iPad, so I could create slides on my long plane rides. But they are also hitting their server to do the conversion, so it looks like I would need Internet access (and I wasn't able to make it work with ppt on my ipad anyway.) But it is a good demo.
You're going to get a fuzzy file finder, Git integration, syntax highlighting, symbol navigation, and and a package manager immediately available to you in those editors. None of those are available in Vim by default; that's the inspiration for Amp.

There are additional perks to including things by default, too. Jump mode is a good example of that: it's integrated with its select mode. You can start a selection and then switch to jump mode to move the cursor to complete the selection.

Lastly, there's simplicity in including things rather than asking new users to pick from a dizzying array of plug-in options. Rails is a good example of this: there's a lot of functionality that could have been left to 3rd-party gems, but having the framework include them by default means they'll work out of the box, and there's a single canonical solution to [sessions, templates, ORM, routing, etc].

Well, this is very good, that confirm for me that HackerNews is a good source of innovation. Thanks.
Well, they do. For example you can configure your node pool to automatically upgrade its members so you don't have to worry about kernel patches. They have a proxy service for their Cloud SQL product so you don't have to fiddle with configuration, its just another k8s service name. Of course Amazon could do these things but they simply haven't. I think their biggest advantage though is they abstract away the master - you just have a node pool and don't have to worry about the masters. With Amazon you will pay $300 a month just to have a HA master, before you launch even one node in your pool.

Also once you start getting into k8s you will find so much more information in the community with specific instructions for GKE; its by far the best environment to learn in for that reason.

Google falls down in so many other areas though that it probably doesn't matter how good GKE is. The biggest annoyance to me is their Postgres offering still has no point in time recovery.

edit to add: One other big advantage I forgot to mention is that launching a GKE cluster takes only a couple of minutes. I have a Terraform configuration that will launch a GKE cluster and run my deployments and my app is up and running after less than 5 minutes. This makes it much more attractive to do things like spin up a new cluster for each pull request.
