Seems like it's unique to Detroit. I've tried for thirty years to get software companies to extend their road trips to Detroit. But I get told there's only 670,000 people there and that's way too small. Then I inform them there's 4.5-5 million people in the Detroit metro area. So now this is the reverse, instead of saying North of Detroit they tar and feather Detroit in the story.

One of the Doctors mentioned is in Ada which is near Grand Rapids and clear across the state!
Raymond Smullyan also got his mathematics PhD from Princeton at 40.
Wow, this is surprising to me. I am the exact opposite position. I am rejecting offers that want relocation or NOT offering remote work. I get my social interaction from a few close friends and feel way less anxiety about not having to play office politics to get ahead. As another commentor said, it's especially a huge benefit to me in terms of getting my own te back instead of having a dreadful commute as well.
You really only have one password for web sites with password resets via email and that's the password to log into your email account.
I think that would explain why they aren’t performing on par with python developers. I also think a lot of python developers started with C, and that typically makes you a better programmer, because if you’ve suffered through memory allocation and finding the paths of least resistance, you’ll never forget.

I don’t see why JAVA or C# should perform worse than JavaScript developers in terms of data structures or algorithms though. Documentation, CLI and environment, sure, but building things?

You could say something similar about go, but I think people who are choosing go, are choosing go. And by that I mean they are thinking about their options, most C# developers that I have known, simply throw C# at everything, even when they shouldn’t.
I never heard it at Microsoft, nor was there training about avoiding paper trails.

Have you ever worked on a high scale e-commerce site? I have and what you are talking about is impractical and pretty much impossible.

Products have multiple variants, photos for each variant. Various companion products that depend on what you already selected. Pricing options that can depend on quantities or packages. And search? Spend 5 minutes on any serious e-commerce search system and there is no such thing as “common search terms.” Of course there are common searches, but on any non-trivial e-commerce system, you have potentially thousands of distinct common searches.

I was one of the original engineers for https://www.matalan.co.uk and you can’t just “regenerate” pages after changes. You can regenerate the cache for images or product descriptions, but e-commerce isn’t like a printed catalog. We put exceptional engineering into that application and to trivialize that sort of application like it was some kind of blog site kind of demonstrates a lack of experience in building something that serves millions of visitors per month — visitors that all have different paths based on what they want to buy.
I imagine I could edit a file in a web-based editor and my collaborators would be able to see those edits in real time. Maybe it wouldn’t be a full-fledged IDE, but I could imagine building development workflows into gitlab’s CI/CD pipeline to facilitate semi-rapid pair-programming/prototyping.

Having post-operative pain is a legitimate reason to use them. Just use them judiciously. Your goal should not be a pain level of zero, it should be a pain level that is manageable. You will likely have the option of using Tylenol instead if you prefer, and possibly NSAIDs, so you can try either of those before you resort to narcotics.
Everyone reacts different. In the past week I've had someone who underwent a hip replacement who can't get around without heavier doses of narcotic pain meds. And I've had a guy who had his leg amputated, who just takes Tylenol.

Social Sciences is used to create propaganda, which is used to tell us that the Institutions of Social Sciences speak truth & facts. It becomes tautological.

Another issue is it's no longer in an ordinary citizen's interest to believe these institutions, since they encourage the citizen to act against their own interests to the benefit of the institutions, capital holders, & political leaders.

Another issue is equating the opinion of a subset of the experts (which are often cherry-picked) or an institution with fact.

Another issue with social sciences is each study is only as good as what abstractions were conceived of to measure minus the accuracy of the measurements.

Many scientists have a poor understanding of the Philosophy of Science, as it's not emphasized in the educational process. Philosophy is often seen as a "solved" problem, instead of the foundation of interpretation of information. This cloisters the scientists to the point to them becoming glorified technicians only capable of measuring the culturally accepted data points & unable to relate the information beyond their ever-shrinking domain of expertise.
Many are asking the same legitimate question - what is the point keeping the free trade agreement with NZ when Chinese products are being treated like that.
Sure, many people want to leave the door open for distant relatives/friends to phone them if needed.

My parents are immigrants and would about once a year get a phone call from some person I had never heard of from back home, usually when a friend of the family died back in the motherland.

Your proposal would prevent such calls from succeeding.

I'm a bit baffled by this, on a few counts. First, many kids from wealthy families have tried and failed to produce great music, c.f. The Shaggs. Second, the Beastie Boys didn't get big because of money, but because they actually produced some novel stuff; their early music had great flow, despite being very rough around the edges with quite poor engineering. Third, as noted in a sibling comment to mine, Vanilla Ice came about more than 5 years after the Beastie Boys.
I think that, if we're talking about Taligent itself, that's probably true. I've talked to other Taligenters and they say the last bit in particular.

But the books, the books were straight up crazy and people reacted to them in the same unfortunate way that they reacted to "Design Patterns."

Another of the crazy OS companies that deserves mention on the list of failures is both the Newton and Magic Cap.

This is actually a genius move. Everyone is so concerned about the 12% and its rivalry between Steam, and not see this from an Unreal Engine perspective. Instead of Getting 5% from the Game sold as EPIC are currently used to now, they are now getting 12% with an additional Gaming App Store. That is an 240% increase in revenue with very little additional offering.

Unfortunately I think Unity May see this as a threat, Now what if Unity decide to make an App Store for 7% revenue, which should effectively be a non profit model after you take away the 3% Credit Card charges and CDN cost.

Anyway both would be good as we continue to push forward the Middleware Gaming Engine.
Shouldn't this be a native desktop application versus foisting it onto web clients? If we're talking "fully featured"?

There seem to be so many labels we could throw:

- Intent analysis
- Sentiment influence
- Data sculpting
- Information engineering
- Data engineering
- Stream management
- Cognition coordination

blah blah blah.

Labels are now the things of the commentary artists, howver, how do we regulate and police things when they are many layers of abstraction.

For example, at what point do we have API exploitation police? Statutes against very specific cyber-crimes?

Encapsulation policy/regulation?

At what point does spoofing overlap with identity theft?

What I find really interesting - and completely neglected as a source of directional inspiration - is that Anime has been dealing with these tropes and issues for decades.

The writers of Anime series with such concepts in mind should be sought, encouraged, spoken-to to start thinking about such ripple effects of tech.

We will have a cyber 9/11 very soon.
Okay but why even are web editing applications even being pushed to the web? Why even is this hypothetical relevant for a discussion of AMP here? I understand more and more former desktop operations are being pushed to web clients but full-fledged video editors?

As I mentioned to another commenter: can you show me an example of a full-featured, web-based video editor using AMP?

I'm not sure if I can buy in that this is the example to rest upon here.
I have tried the Wim Hof method a few times but I just can't get used to the cold showers. I can do it for a few days but instead of getting used to it I dread it more and more.

Has anybody else tried it and got used to the cold?

I should add that I always got easily cold and there is almost no temperature where I say that it's too hot.
> all CSS is in the head, a max of 50 KB. There is no external CSS at all. That's crucial. It reverses a persistent anti-pattern in web development that calls for a bunch of separate files for CSS and JS.

This means CSS and JS cannot be cached between page loads however so you're requesting the same data every time while navigating pages. It's a tradeoff against faster page loading. I'm surprised there isn't a better solution for this yet.

Also, with HTTP/2, splitting up your CSS and JS is actually a good idea because you can include only what you need on each page and the parts are cached between pages.

I think the basic problem is people including way too much CSS and way too much JS. For even desktop pages, 50KB of CSS should be enough for most pages.
We're talking about two completely separate types of websites. Nobody said forms are useless. Web-based video editing was a hypothetical example. AMP wasn't really part of this discussion; presumably, lots of JS + PWA functionality in the hypothetical video editing example was the referenced useful functionality.

Take Google Sheets as an example. I don't know what the total download size is for the JS (certainly not 15mb), but it's an example of a JS heavy website where you wouldn't want to serve -> submit form -> serve cycle for every user input.
something I have been wondering about for years, having been around: was Be actually acquisition bait from day one for Apple? I am convinced that NeXT wasn't; they just didn't build something that was designed for acquisition.

But Be, Inc. and BeOS really strike me as the kind of design, company, compromises, focus and leadership/team that I've come to associate with startups that are actually designed to be acquired by the executive's former employer after some time.

I would love to know if this is true, though in my experience, that is usually only known to the founders and executives except in the really obvious cases.
I never thought of it as onomatopoeic before but, if I string the sound out – pooooooour – making the “o” noisy and its pitch rise slowly it does remind me of the sound of a cup being filled from a tap.

Ok, I still think it’s an unusual example but you’ve convinced me.

I retract my earlier comment and replace it with a “today I learned” for me. :)

They actually responded many of the points raised: some are a bit subtle so they are hard to notice, but as a major example, the slogan "Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software" was changed from "The programming language that empowers everyone to become a systems programmer." The current one is arguably a lot better.
Well, Go is still an obscure programming language compared to C++ or JavaScript :)

thx for the correction. You are right.

I should have said the confiscation (mandatory bayback) started with all semi-automatics and pump-action in 1996.

WRT pistols, the pistols that are allowed, have less lethal power than bow and arrow (if the below excerpt is correct).

"....

they can then attend at a licenced firearm dealer and select a handgun which is suitable for the competition in which they intend to take part. This firearm may be a single-shot air pistol, a single-shot .22-calibre pistol or a .22-calibre revolver or self-loading pistol.
…"

not sure if this was also the case before '96 and self-defense was already banned then.

The bolt actions that are allowed, cannot have pistol grip and must not look 'military'.
The practical limit for battery capacity is 100 Wh; beyond that you need airline approval to travel with it.

Does that also apply if it’s two batteries, both physically removable, from the outside? Just curious. SWMBO and I travel with can lights for diving, big batteries but none individually over the limit.
I assume you mean video editing.

Many reasons, but the top one in my opinion is having a single code base across all devices. I think it's a worthwhile goal, personally.

We're talking about two completely separate types of websites. Nobody said forms are useless. Web-based video editing was a hypothetical example. AMP wasn't really part of this discussion

This entire discussion started from an opinionated blog post that directly discusses AMP and it's performative nature on the web.

So yes.

It is.

You can't just invent a hypothetical that makes it easier to justify exceptions to the very topic the original blog post we're talking about here, of course exceptional things like resource-heavy, full-featured web apps are going to be outliers to lightweight payloads for web apps. For some reason I highly doubt those were the types of use-cases Google had in mind when AMP was released, so why are we even considering exigent outliers on this one?

fair point. I wan't knocking the BB's - I bought licensed to ill' in 86 at the tail end of the golden era of rap. Vanilla ice was arguably exploiting the rap era after the fact although he was a dancer earlier in that era.

My main point was that it's not that hard to produce music emulating what has just happened stylistically, much harder to originate and innovate regardless of where you are from, rich or poor
During the summer, our local "biker" bar offered bonfire seating. The fire was fed with, among other stuff, old pallets. Also landscaping waste, contributed by patrons. And the occasional deadfall and collapsed shed.
Public preview of Project Tiny (Unity with a smaller runtime)
I think one solution people have come up with is to have older family members put money into "trust" in which they are the beneficiaries. Presumably having this setup, while it costs money, prevents someone who is loosing thier faculties from being able to be scammed as they don't have direct access to all their money.

Going after the scammers would also be helpful, as I haven't seen much enforcement.
Yup! It's one of two things I'll bring up in the pre-op meeting with the surgeon:

1. Make sure we're in agreement as to the things being done. Yes, it's been discussed multiple times, but best to be clear!

2. Ask what kind of pain killers I'll already be on when I wake up.
From the "I'm purposely playing dumb" perspective, I totally don't get that website on first glance. Even a 6 word sentence summary could make it a lot more interesting.

I understand your sentiment, but why is it that government coercion is necessary? You're allowed to run your own businesses as you see fit. If you work for someone else and don't like the arrangement, then fix it.

how is a distant relative going to find anyone's cellphone number? That makes absolute no sense, since cellphone numbers aren't posted in a public directory that distant relatives might honestly peruse.

This is an OPPORTUNITY for HN readers in general to take a critical look at what this particular incarnation in Internet future-history is.

Thanks for all the replies everybody. My bad for missing the “Ask HN” part, kind of posted this pretty fast. Yeah, I think that for me the pro that I give to working on site is the social aspect of it. But as far as productivity, I get much more done when I’m working from home. I also think that less people driving for god knows how many hours a year would also bring a million other collateral benefits for everybody. I live in Miami and I think about the infrastructure that we have for the number of people that live here, and it just seems crazy that it hasn’t improved at all in the 8 years I’ve been here. Hopefully autonomous cars + hyperloop really take off pretty soon. Anyway, thanks again for your thoughts on this random end of the day question ;)
The gov't says they need total phone surveillance to watch for terrorists, but can't seem to keep a flood of criminals from using the same phone line to say they are from the IRS and still billions from our elderly. How can they protect me from a terrorist if they can't protect my mom from a scammer?
Sure, but this is just as achievable, if more agreeably challenging on the desktop as a platform as it is on the web.

I'm not sure if it's a particularly convincing axiom here for heavy payloads of web-apps, particularly when we're talking about simply delivering content to cite a singular code base for why a web application that would benefit from AMP (which was the central conceit of the actual blog post we're all here discussing today) needs to be 15MB heavy.

Well formed markup and smart content compression could accomplish the same thing.

They take you into the CMS where you can produce more static content.

Ok, except the advice has been to move CSS to files for a long time, so that they can be cached easily. That way other pages are loaded quickly, since they css file is already stored on the device.
AMP is a fucking cancer on the web right now.

When you visit what you expect to be a search result url, it should take you to the server/site that was indexed. When AMP for launched, it didn’t even provide a link to the original site. It took a lot of people like me grousing and complaining before Google’s 17 tiers of product managers had enough meetings to even budge on that.

I honestly can’t tell you how so many sites were convinced to implement AMP on their sites. I could wave my hands and say everyone is stupid and just goes along with the latest shiny bullshit but that can’t be but a small part of the actual answer.

Supposedly Google isn’t factoring AMP pages into their search rankings yet, but given the positive signal of page speed (a good thing, generally) and them switching to a mobile first index, a natural direct side effect is that AMP pages will be ranked higher by default.

If Google were somehow automatically transforming sites you’d never hear the end of people complaining, especially content owners. Instead they convinced engineers and content creators to tie the rope on the hanging post themselves, jump off, and be happy about it.

I can’t speak too negatively of PWA. The ability to build offline web apps is actually pretty useful in some situations.

Overall I still firmly believe that a good search engine should deliver the most relevant links or content for what is being queried. Should a bad QA site get ranked higher than a high quality one just because the former delivers mobile-first AMP pages and the latter has a slightly bigger payload but has much more relevant content?
