I have what is probably a very naive question, as I am not well versed at all in Electron or web frameworks. I understand the complaints towards Electron, but I also see the appeal of developing utilizing a cross-platform browser. Is there a reason why developers can't simply have their application run in a local server? (Jupyter Notebook is an example that comes to mind.) This way, the user can use their browser of choice and doesn't have to have several installations of Chromium, while the developer can still utilize the web. I imagine it's more complex than this, but it's something I've been wondering.

There are a whole bunch of layers now, though they're all useful.

1. Is my document saved?

2. Are the changes staged?

3. Are the changed committed?

4. Are the changes pushed to my fork on e.g. github?

5. Are the changes merged into the upstream repository on e.g. github?

I had a similar experience to your last one. I was in a small house fire in a shared Airbnb. I left immediately. Airbnb wouldn’t compensate me because I didn’t take photos and the host claimed nothing had happened. (I was honestly too shaken to even think I would need evidence.) They gave me a $200 voucher which didn’t cover the time left in my stay.

It is partially my fault for not getting evidence, but you’d think they would do more for somebody who, like you, has spent an awful lot of money on Airbnb.

Unfortunately they often have the best apartments available in a city. I do still use them, but I’ll search alternate sites first.
What are you smoking? Change it, it is bad for logic: any tax a company pays for you is from the money you bring in, not from the shareholders personal bank accounts. Nobody pays for the pleasure to have someone as an employee, but for the employee to deliver more than what is paid, otherwise you go under.
This is the time to have a conversation about their role in the organization. They have opinions, sure, are those opinions argumentative by themselves probably not.

Most engineers want to know the why’s. If there in the dark on the big picture it can impact the overall results as they make wrong choices in design and architecture if they don’t know.

The conversation needs to be about their career path, and the aspirations. If they’re a good engineer, maybe they want to be more. Maybe their ideas are sound and they are being ignored which leads to frustration and more friction because they have insights of a problem you don’t see or are blind to.

I would suggest scheduling this first conversation, then daily or weekly 1:1 sync meetings. Keep them in the loop and feeling they are valued members of your team.

After you have reset your rapport with them. Listen to them, reinforce you have their back and part of the team. Delegate some responsibility through stewardship make them the owner of something. Let them succeed or fail.

If they still exhibit the same behavior, and can’t handle what you delegated to them, then it’s time for them to go.

Don’t loose a talent because you labeled them with a “communication issue”. The issue may be you are not listening or effectively communicating the direction or tone.

It also sounds from you post and described issue, is a result from your management style and possibly being a micro-manager. I could be wrong, but that is what I inferred.

I was recently tasked to build a cross platform win/linux/macos application. After looking around a few options, I plumped for Electron. (Also since I can write JS etc. pretty confidently)

Glad I did. The project was done way faster than I could have imagined. And everyone else was amazed and pleased as punch with the result.

Job done. :)

This type of behavior is nothing new. Years ago, I worked as a developer at a very large silicon valley based company. Everyone here would recognize their name.

It was common knowledge that the "corporate art" on the walls of the buildings was owned by various members of the "C-Suite" and leased back to the company.

Don't even get me started on the private loans given to members of the C-Suite and Board then subsequently "forgiven".

I used to rage about it every time they published their financials.
The rest of the world doesn't delineate between startups and new ventures like Y Combinator. That likely accounts for most of the difference here considering they used Kickstarter data for their analysis.

Neumann is the one making the deals for rentals- including the price. As the representative of the company he is incentivized to reduce the rental price as much as possible. But as the owner on the other side of the same deal, he's incentivized to increase the price as much as possible.

The problem with this is that as CEO, he's talking about someone else's money (investors) while the other side he's talking about money in his pocket.

How can there not be a conflict of interest?
Seems more like a tax distribution problem than anything else. Casino revenues went down $69 million, but video gambling revenue went up $270 million. Seems like a good deal tax wise.
I climbed Kili with an upmarket, catering to old rich folk, tour operator and they made a big deal about going very slowly and not getting out or breath. They said that way about 99% of people including unfit tourists can make the top whereas if you go fast a lot get sick. It was a bit frustrating going at a pace where you could have used a zimmer frame but it seemed to work.
Exactly, so creating a government website where one can verify someone's SSN would render it useless as a password and force businesses to come up with a real solution.
Last year they published a grand total of 8 articles with the editorial staff doing the copy-editing, and web work for free. It is nice they are doing this but it isn't indicative of the cost of hosting/peer review/copy-editing more substantial journals.
If I understand the post correctly, the advantage for e.g. inserting a subnet is that most of the overall IP address value is shared between each IP in the subnet. In a Radix tree, this shared data will only be represented once in the three (since the entire path from root to leaf makes up the entry value). For a hash based solution, yes you get constant time insertion and constant time access, but you need a unique entry of the entire IP for each individual entry. This increases overall memory requirements.

If query time became a bottleneck, would you consider putting a Bloom Filter in front of the Radix tree? This would have low memory usage and a low false positive rate. Any positive hits would then do an exact check on the radix tree. So, for say 99% of non-blacklisted IPs, you would get constant time blacklist checks.
Guitarists (and musicians in general) tend to be quite conservative. There are objective advantages to a modern design like the Strandberg Boden, but there's no history attached to such instruments. Metal players are happy to embrace new technological developments and have been early adopters of digital modelling technology, but most other players have an image of the guitar that's locked in a previous decade.

I've helped move a couple teams (kicking and screaming) from TFS to git, and I start back even further than that - why is it so much more complicated than clicking a button to save and share my work, and what is the benefit of that complication?
When I was 20 I met a businessman in his mid-30s at a meetup in SF. At the time I knew a small amount of web development and was looking for work, any work, to start my career after dropping out of college. This was just as Blockchain was starting to be more then a whisper and he wanted to create something with it for the financial industry. He was obsessed with getting into YC but lamented how after talking to several "higher ups" at YC the importance of finding co-founder(s) for his application to be accepted/taken seriously. I had nothing better to do so we ended up meeting a second time at the little Starbucks at the corner of the Metreon. He offered me a CTO position with significant equity at his company to build a very complex application which would cover things like payment processing, complex permissions systems, and high data integrity requirements. I politely declined thinking he was crazy for wanting a 20 year old to do that, though I tried to push him to contract me for a landing page or whatever.

I never talked to him after that, sometimes I wonder if he made any money having been so early consumed by Blockchain. It was an immensely valuable lesson for me in the absurdity of Silicon Valley and its false signaling mechanisms.

I believe a lot of YC applications have founding teams in name only, or with bad selections, purely to appease this desire to have more then one founder. In aggregate it may work out, but in my experience...

One proposal I've heard for this is spreading it over the year, have the government deposit money in a back account once per week (this requires a system where everyone has bank accounts to get UBI, but that shouldn't be too costly).
I don't like such statements either. Choosing the web as an application platform is legitimate from my perspective, but instead of building electron apps, it is better to build progressive web apps (PWA).

However, there are some use-cases when some specific technology for building it as a PWA is unavailable and therefore, building it with Electron might be the best alternative. But as a result, the author shouldn't just state that you are the problem ('... not the target audience'), but instead, state his reasons for choosing that technology (e.g. why he is using Electron instead of building a PWA).
>Why should you pay 5x price for AirBnb's risk?

Why should AirBnb have to not only waive their free but pay several times what they would have earned off the transaction to another party? It is wholly unreasonable for them to put you up in a place that costs 5x(+) as much.

They aren't a hotel chain, they are a booking agent. They don't own the properties, the connect a party that has a space and a party that wants a space. It's not like when you're at a hotel and a pipe bursts and they just put you in another unit that they already own. If the rental was 500 unitofcurrency and the only thing available in their system is 2500 unitofcurrency, they're now hemorrhaging money where a hotel would have virtually no extra expense moving you to another room.

If they made a practice of putting people in considerably more expensive places than they have agreed to pay for it would be absurdly easy to abuse the system from both ends. You could relatively easy manufacture a situation in which what you were renting was unusable getting you a free upgrade or property owners could potentially game the system during high peak times by listing a cheap space, having someone in on it get it, manufacture unusable conditions and then dump one or more properties into the system just under the price of the next cheapest unit and now they have 2 empty locations and are getting paid for the expensive one and can then dump both on vrbo/booking.com/flipkey etc.

At best they should refund your entire stay (unless you've already been there a considerable amount of time then prorate accordingly) and help you find a hotel.
You'd dole out UBI biweekly or whatever to solve the same problems that food stamps solve? I agree it's a good question though.
Before he got married he would have to go to Nicaragua every 90 days for a few days and then come back so he would have legal status. They mentioned this changed a few years ago but he already had passport by then. Some people would have business licenses to get things like local cell phone plans. If you employed people it made things much easier.

Your lawyer story is similar to theirs including trying to immigrate her to the US. Once they decided to get a US lawyer things actually started to happen and they got answers about the US process.

> basis for saying its ineffective

Yes, they are effective at chilling speech and forms of legal trading. They are not effective at preventing trading on information, for example, the SEC and DOJ secured indictments against Ukrainians and Russians which it will never extradite. Wow a pen stroke after an expensive investigation, congratulations. Fix your damn IT systems if you want confidence in the securities market.

> are you taking issue with reason the law exists

Yes, I am. The industry takes these laws seriously without the SEC because all the SROs already had these prohibitions before the SEC copied and pasted some parts into the Code of Federal Regulations or created 10b-5 convictions that are SOMETIMES upheld by appeals courts before stripping them down in other circuits.
Do you have an ELI5 for your suspicions of cause and cure? (not snarky, genuinely curious).
That's true, but people also don't learn from (and none of us enjoy) being attacked for what they've said. Constructive, positive explanations are of more value ("x has the following benefits because..." rather than "y is bad. full stop").
I got into the habit of teaching people `gitk`. It's not the prettiest tool, but it's included with most distributions of git, defaults to a decorated color graph log, and thus avoids the "copy paste this weird config line" step on other people's machines.
Ask HN: How to balance intellectual activities and sedentary lifestyle?
I found myself in a situation common for a CS student where all my day-to-day activities, that I consider intellectually rewarding, such as work or study, require me to spend my time in front of a computer.

I did my best to reduce my screen time and have enough outdoor activities, but the problem still exists, since I want to spend most of my day working or learning.

The narrow version of the question would be: How can I use part of my time doing useful things and avoid looking at the screen at the same time?

The broader one I'd like to address to those who had a similar experience:

Not to take away from Wunderman's achievements at all, it seems misleading to refer to him as the "Father of Direct Marketing" and not talk about his predecessors.

Specifically, Claude C. Hopkins is, to my knowledge, the person most responsible for the ideas and techniques behind Direct Marketing. His 1923 book, Scientific Advertising, laid out all the principles of Direct Marketing, and Wunderman would have been very aware of his work. This book predates Wunderman's first job as a copywriter by 24 years, when he was hired by Maxwell Sackheim & Co. in 1947[1].

From the Wikipedia page[2]:

> The book is cited as being the original description of the process of split testing and of coupon based customer tracking and loyalty schemes. In the book, Hopkins outlines an advertising approach based on testing and measuring. In this way losses from unsuccessful ads are kept to a safe level while gains from profitable ads are multiplied. Or, as Hopkins wrote, the advertiser is "playing on the safe side of a hundred to one shot".

> The book is widely considered the foundation of direct marketing.

Again, I'm not bashing Wunderman. He was a remarkably effective marketer and if you want to make the argument that he popularized Direct Marketing or did more to make it the juggernaut that it is today, I won't argue.

But it's just disingenuine for this article to give the impression that he's the "father" of it. It'd be like calling Ernest Hemingway the Father of Writing. Hemingway was an amazing writer, worthy of much praise, but it'd be patently ridiculous to claim he fathered the idea of writing good books. Wunderman didn't father Direct Marketing. He was just really, really, ridiculously good at it.

Certain hotels and services are already targeting a captive audience.

If you're looking for hotels in London, you're already intent on finding a hotel.

A single 3 night booking in New York City will easily produce $100 of revenue for an online travel agency. So... Throwing $10 for a click is hardly a bad investment.

Other products and services are not like that.

Look for food delivery on Google and check how many ads are unnecessary for you

That may be the genius of targeted ads. Once one vendor starts doing it, the other vendors have no choice but to bid on the same target.

Winner: ad platform.
> It is optional and plenty of other people are not tipping

No it's not and no there aren't! I can't believe you think this is normal. Not tipping unless you particularly appreciate the service is like... dumping your fast food trash out the car window when you're done with it. You can probably do it every week for years and get away with it but it's awful behavior.
Most people just want to waste time watching TV would be the good outcome. I'm more concerned that it turns out that once money is no longer a concern that a large portion of people would spend their time trying to figure out how to cause problems for others.

How many people would ignore education, socialization, and general societal cohesiveness if they knew that they would never have to worry about getting along with anyone else in order to survive.

It is a well-known fact that the entire industry under-invests in tech infrastructure. Congress literally paid them to do it using "meaningful use" incentives as part of the ACA, and still can't get them to invest more. Ask yourself who has better front-office CRM: your local car dealership or your doctor?

Do you think the audo dealership does it because they like spending money? No, it's because they compete and are paid based on quality of customer service, and believe (rightly) that keeping good customer records is an important part of that.

No such incentives exist in the medical industry. Everything is just "how many procedures can you do per hour". Since the industry doesn't encourage good record-keeping, it's seen as a "chore" doctors don't like doing and hence hate doing it, and try to do it as quickly as possible, before they can get back to "making money" doing hip and knee surgery, seeing more patients, etc.

The solution is really pretty simple: there needs to be meaningful competition on the (patient-perceived) quality of care. Our current insurance-driven system doesn't promote that at all. Handing customers cash, whether from employers, the government, whoever, and letting them spend it, gets the incentives a lot closer to right.
