The interesting thing about these sorts of goals is that there’s no accounting for saturation of customer engagement and diminshing returns.

When your only goal is to make a graph go up and to the right, what does a plateau mean? And then after the plateau?

I’ve had a number of managers over the years, and some of them could only think in those terms, and refused to think in other ways. Decades later and those jobs are long gone, and whether there was any respect between us is long since irrelevant, but by now, those kinds of goals often come across as strong signal to me of a built in concept of disposability. Proof arrives with the fact that I’m no longer at those places.

If the graph is only allowed to go up and to the right, your days there are assuredly numbered.
I think there are several reasons for this:

* The APIs for building web UIs are really hairy and difficult to understand.
* The fact that the web is a standard and quick way of getting apps to people means lots of people are heavily invested in it.
* There's still a disconnect between developers and designers. This means many libraries seem to be developed around recognizing past patterns rather than a forward-looking vision. At least that's my guess.
* Other human things such as the desire for recognition, users taking any level of UI polish for granted and expecting more over the years, and so on.
* The surface area of features exposed on the frontend is enormous. You have forms, arbitrary shapes, layout, color, state management, querying external data sources, and so on.

You combine the above and you get massive technology churn. Maybe people underestimate the complexity involved.

I get the frustration though because at the end of the day we're still pushing pixels onto the screen. Even a lot of the primitives haven't changed in a while. We still have our colored boxes and text arranged in some configuration. You might expect all the good ideas to have been tried already.

Sure, but like often the case, it could be more complicated than that; different people can react differently to foods.
Something like that happened to me. I had several TB of data on a RAID10 array on an LSI MegaRAID controller. A nearby lightning strike took out the server. And the server manufacturer had gone out of business.

I had backups of the data itself. But I'd been doing lots of data massaging, and didn't have enough storage to keep copies of every step.

Anyway, so I bought a couple new servers. One to replace the dead one, to be setup with SQL Server. And a low-end one that would accept the controller from the old server. I just left the drives in their cage, and jury rigged power and data connections.

And it worked.
It’s more than just this. House of Cards was made, in part, because of a whole bunch of data showing a certain demographic watched a lot of political thriller stuff and stuff with Kevin spacey in it (to massively simplify)
I've heard from Netflix employees that retention stabilizes once a certain number of hours per month are watched on an account.

I think that optimizing for time watched is genius for Netflix for exactly the reason stated above. Of course it helps drive retention, but the ultimate benefit is netflix-izing our culture so that a subscription is just necessary for our social life.
Was expecting it to be an interesting library related to music or audio, but it's just another JavaScript framework attempting to solve already solved problems. Also wouldn't use it because it extends String and Object.prototype which is bad practice.
I would love to understand this point more, if only because it's so contrary to my own view. The argument from most Beatles fans (other than "you don't get it, man" which is by far the most common) is something about how different they were.

What about their music is better to you? Is it their longevity or the volume of music they made, do they have several of your favorite songs/albums/performances? Is it something peculiar to their style that you really liked, or do you see them as more technically proficient at composition or perhaps it's their musical skill?

Genuinely curious!
You don't need to time the market though. People act as if traders go all in on every stock purchase betting everything. That's not how it works.
It definitely feels like a meme on reddit and HN. haha
Exactly. The zero-interest loan would be the government paying up front. It would be a good investment if done correctly.
For most of my "clients" I now install Ubuntu or mint when their windows installation eventually becomes beyond repair (usually through no fault of their own), or they think they need a new one. I tell them I can easily put it back to how it was if they don't like it... but they couldn't be happier. 9 so far.

All they want to do is browse the web, and not have to fight with their computer at random points. I do pity these people who spend a lot of money on their computers for it to not even be fit for purpose.. and spend more money on Norton snake oil, which only makes it worse.

I believe this is why smartphones and tablets took off so well, they just work.
I have made it my goal this year to be as positive and encouraging as possible.

... which is a bad sentence to begin with.

To the creator of this project: it is fantastic that you are thinking about abstractions at this level. You are fucking awesome. Keep it the hell up.

Real criticism: this microframework is obtuse with too much “magic”. First, $ is a symbol that most developers associate with jQuery. If your API isn’t jQuery compatible, _$ won’t save you.

Second — honestly, this is way
too complicated. The _$ might be a contributing factor. I can’t understand or develop a cohesive internal framework for this Library from this documentation page. This might be a fault of the documentation, the abstractions, or both.

Keep iterating: it seems like you’re compiling views from data- attributes programmatically. Good call. I just can’t piece together why this is something I’d use and how the abstractions save me time versus any other framework.
I really need to head over there. Just found out about it recently.
No worries, it was pretty well buried. Easy to miss.
I was a skeptic all along, because it seemed like the "techno-optimists" failed to grasp the difficulty of writing software in general. I'm sure the people that engaged in most online discussions that I remember were not experts.

However, I don't see why you point to people actually working on self-driving cars as if they would have been pessimists - why work on such things if they didn't believe it was feasible?

Bitch was asking for it. Just look how she dresses. Slut.
I often wonder how different things would be if JavaScript had a standard library.
There's a great app to train your memory: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doggoapps....
If you are thinking about Linux, this is pretty much the worse approach possible. My advice would be to switch to open source applications first, to ensure that you will have a suite of software that meets your needs and that you will be able to transition your data. If the switch looks viable, spend some time using your chosen distro on live media, to ensure that it will work with your hardware. If the live media does not work, either try a different distro or set the transition aside. Then make the jump if, and only if, it looks like you will be able to make a total transition. Backing up your data and telling the distro's installer to use the entire drive vastly simplies everything from installation and support to everyday usage.

Linus itself is an excellent operating system that makes life for end users a lot easier, but I suggest the applications first approach since it is not for everyone. Even using this approach and testing it on live media first is bound to have a few hiccups, yet it is a lot better than starting out by learning everything from scratch or by troubleshooting major issues.
Tragedy of the commons where the commons is human attention. Notifications are one of the ways to train people like pavlov’s dogs to check your app. If you don’t use it others will.
We are almost certainly not on track for autonomous vehicles.

The simple test for autonomous vehicles is “can they drive in Indian traffic.”

We are very likely, on track for a correction in the form of “ we never meant level 5 autonomy.” We will see some form of assisted driving, and nothing beyond.

It’s concerning that people aren’t thinking of attackers (or the govt) taking over your car first on HN.

This is the happy start of AI, Just like the happy start of the web.

Those were the days before the RIAA, before phishing, five eyes, and the unending loss of innocence that it has been since then.
"Only" 20-40% of the operating cost saved would be enough to completely obliterate the human trucking industry. Amazon didn't have to beat the prices of other stores by anywhere near that much to become 10x or 100x bigger, they only had to be a little bit (but consistently) cheaper and more convenient.
It's not even just an intellectual property problem either, but one of any market with artificially constrained supply. See for instance OPEC-created oil prices and De Beers-created diamond prices.

In a way, you could argue that iTunes was the fracking of music sales, and that other markets need something similar.
Weird. I was on IRC for many years before Stack Overflow (and crap alternatives like Experts Exchange, Yahoo! Answers, etc) existed, and I have pretty much the exact opposite experience. For example, while SO tags certainly have different distributions of expertise, out of my most recent 30 questions (involving mainly Python, Django, Docker, Rust and WebExtensions) only four have no answers yet.

> StackOverflow is from the social media generation of software, where you need a pretty avatar, and accumulate points, and there's rules you must not break.

Unlike IRC, where people need to learn and adopt the particular culture of a channel, and (in extreme cases) need to supplicate before the right people to get a civil response.

Stack* is about questions and answers, learning and doing.
If it has no object-oriented features, then I don't think it deserves to be called a C++ interpreter at all, since that's basically the one feature everyone thinks of when they're asked to compare C and C++; from the description it looks more like a C-subset interpreter.
Does anyone know if something like this exists for other popular DBs?
That's disappointing to hear. I still think that it's probably the best approach to deal with the problem if it worked properly; it would behoove us all if the technology could become cheaper and more reliable.
The best business model I've seen to service small businesses is to become a channel partners with Squarespace/Shopify/Wix/whoever, charge a fixed rate, and then optimize the hell out of your process to increase your margins.

I use to be taught this game with different kinds/colors of rice/porridge beans, by my mother's youngest sister, that year's later I came to find was actually my older sister.

It was similar to what later I came to discover was sold as Hasbro Mastermind[1]. Some border smuggling at the top of the cold war gave me access back then to this other game aswell, that I enjoyed playing with my sisters and we still sometimes remember it to this day: Supremacy[2]

:How could I forget this one,that's is not exactly a board game, but is perfect in a spree of fun to get everyone's drunk with a shot of takju everytime someone looses, and you play with regular playing cards, as I always did, not necessarily buy the expensive branded one that I found years later(again?) to exist, But try to keep your clothes on.

I differ with you. Assuming, for sake of argument, data is not being scraped for nefarious purpose today then the time when it will be is not too far away.
There are no protections in place as proved by multiple data leeks stories. There are no settings provided by tech companies that let use use there services in total anonymous way or without being a research subject. Do you think gmail will ever implement end-to-end encrypted email service ever?

We need such articles to remind people of what they are getting them-self into and encourage communities to build alternative solutions. Remember those few privacy settings provided by tech companies are result of such stories.

Data that was collected before on an average citizen is puny as compared to what they collect now.
We have an education product and we support C++ using jupyter/nbgrader/clang too. https://datacabinet.info/dc-docs/sbs/projects.html#step-3-c . We had to make some clang changes to make it work.
I don't think it is possible to separate language from tools or community. Those things are always together.

It is entirely possible that Javascript itself is an OK language, but it is too late now. The community has already decided that packages should be tiny, that changing prototype of "array" object is an acceptable thing to do, that failing fast is bad and the best reaction to errors is to mess up the page layout in the unexpected way, and so on.

Maybe one day, Javascript will re-invent itself and get reliable software engineering practices. But I highly doubt that -- there are countless people who know the laguage already, and they are not going to be changing their opinions overnight.
Please re-read my comment. I distinguished between two things: 1) the point of TSA, and 2) the lack of TSA staff under the current regulatory regime.

I agree that TSA inspections are useless. That is point #1.

However, if 50% of TSA staff right now were to leave, then the regulations won't magically change so that there are no inspections. The result will be mega-long lines. This is point #2. Or do you think something else will happen?

Thus, if people don't want mega-long lines, it is in their short-term interest to use alternative mechanisms to keep TSA staff from leaving.
The cost of goods should be the amortized startup cost plus the marginal cost. Startup costs can include the R&D and so on. “Intellectual property” is just one framework by which the startup costs can be recouped, but at the price of a major impedance mismatch.

Instead, the startup costs can be paid for in a collaborative framework (open source, wikipedia, and so on) and the growing snowball of results freely used and remixed in common by all, producing more results.

Then the marginal costs would be simply hosting and support. The questions of “but then who would make XYZ” have already been answered.

The question, though, is will we still have famous authors and heroes, or will our digital products be made 95% by the crowd. I think the latter. Wikipedia and open source have very few famous personalities - just the BDFLs that launched and run the project, and not specific creators of content.
Except if their increased value to the customer didn't give them this pricing power, you would expect increased prices to cause an overall drop in prices.

Prices are more about what the market will pay than about what a company needs to charge.

PropTypes aren't required. Also, the "action" stuff is about Redux, not React.

For Redux specifically, we've got a new `redux-starter-kit` package available. It helps simplify several common use cases, including store setup, defining reducers, immutable update logic, and even creating entire "slices" of state without writing any action types or action creators by hand. I'd encourage anyone using Redux to try it out and let us know how much it helps you.

Interesting that Graphql makes the list - any frontend devs without considerable backend experience out there that have adopted it? Would be interested in your perspective on it vs rest or rpc.
No, that's not what I'm saying.

But if this is typical of how you introduce yourself, then I can't say I'm exactly surprised that you get so much flak. It also makes me vastly less sympathetic to your many complaints about how other people behave.
So after much griping about the notch, glass back, lack of headphone jack, lack of home button, and lack of Touch ID, the wife and I just bought iPhone XRs. And you know what? They’re great. Air Pods are transformational—you don’t realize how annoying the cords are until they’re gone. And quality and range are phenomenal. It’s a UX win for consumers as well as a revenue win for Apple.

The swipe gestures aren’t discoverable at all. But I noticed my 60-year-old aunt fluently using them, so I think the little tutorial they do in the Apple store when you buy one is effective.
Sadly, the vast majority of tutorials are like that because their major lead generator is SEO. If you can cram 10 technologies into a tutorial, you'll end up in 10x search results.
I feel as though you are missing a "Disclaimer: ...", though I will be looking at borg. :-)

Things to never put in your vagina
There’s something particularly egregious about large corporations trying trademark widely used generic words or terms.

Such behaviour is prohibited most places. That these companies try intimidating people with spurious law suits makes it easy to dislike them.

My own personal favourite is a dodgy gym eqipment company which has been recently bullying various blogers for using the generic term for a group of cyclists, peloton. They can’t have the word it belongs to common language.

It’s crazy. It’s like if McDonalds tried to trademark “hamburger” and then threatened to sue people who live in Hamburg.
Apply for jobs anyways. Don't wait until you "check all the boxes."

One thing that may help is to put up repos of stuff you've worked on, on GitHub.

Contribute to open source projects that align with things you're interested in.

The key to getting work at more and more places, it's not whether or not you have a degree... it's being able to demonstrate that you know what you're doing.
Should you have a trademark that prevents anyone else from using the name because you made a custom one off for a single customer?

I doubt the majority of people have only a phone. Unless it's a poor 3rd world country, most people have some kind of computer at home, or at least a tablet.

There's a difference between having a mobile device with you in the city and using a device comfortable at home where most people prefer a bigger screen.
And for a good reason. These frameworks usually make development much harder than simply using JS directly.
Missed the point mate.

The combination of pressures is the stressor in this particular, individual case. The article cites a study which found the suicide rate among vets to be a significant multiple of the baseline populations rate. The factors that are common to vets are high emotionalal stress, caring fatigue, financial stress, time pressure and a workplace that normalises death as a means to an end of suffering and crucially, have access to restricted euthanasia drugs.
This seems plausible. There's usually a proliferation then a consolidation phase with any period of innovation, where people invent all sorts of ways of doing things and then gradually figure out what works best together.

Why the client-side has seen such an era of fecundity in recent years is beyond me. Perhaps because there was a real problem with leaving the job to jquery. Regardless, eventually there's just going to be too many available solutions but not enough solidified and proven methods where everything you need has been packaged together neatly because trial and error and years of iteration have pulled the optimal toolchains together and left the others by the wayside.

The way everything client oriented is just sort of floating around with no real scheme to it creates a lot of possibilities but at the same time much confusion and exhaustion. Eventually, (hopefully) there will come the standards.
It's a complex topic, depends on age, genetics, corrective lens or not, nature of your work and neuroplasticity. However, the eyecare industry agrees that max period for continuous closeup work (screen, paper, objects) is 20 minutes.

Induction is impossible!
I always wondered how some companies can rely exclusively on data like A/B testing to make decisions. Isn't that incredibly slow? In my experience there are thousands of decisions to make every year in a high growth company and there is just not enough time to test everything. This is why the best software companies that we are all familiar with revolve around an individual with incredible intuition/vision. If it was possible/practical to just rely on a bunch of A/B tests, every company would be successful.
no. But thats not what its for. It provides solid dependable power. like most gigawatt power generation systems, it takes time to spin up/down.

In NY there are plenty of places where one can build on-demand hydro-electric dams, which can tide over short term peaks.

Everything else is mostly predictable. In new york state, in summer, peak power should correlate with solar power production during the day, but at night, not so much. So you'll need something to supply all those aircon units.

take spain, it has 35% renewable, but it costs 230g per kwh, france, which is almost entirely nuclear is 86g per kwh.
Maybe that’s exactly the issue. Statistically no one will leave behind such a legacy as Pythagoras, but we judge ourselves by the success of those who have anyway.
They are absolutely the most awesome things, and I couldn't go back to coding without Git and I am almost at that opinion with Docker. However as a beginner it must be daunting.

Wouldn't the ideal Netflix customer watch 0 hours (thus consuming none of the company's resources) while still paying their monthly subscription? :) OTOH active viewers probably refer more friends and family to become new Netflix customers.
I noticed that even with a small project with only 3 dependencies the dev dependencies are still large. As an example I was trying to build this project tui.image-editor from GitHub, it has 3 dependencies but check how many dev dependencies it has https://github.com/nhnent/tui.image-editor/blob/master/packa... and how many those may also have, when I installed them with npm I counted around 10 deprecation warnings and I was thinking that in a few years we may not be able to build this projects, we may have to hunt around for old version of stuff, fix conflicts between packages and other nightmare scenarios.

Maybe it would be a good idea to commit the node modules to GitHub?

> so I think the little tutorial they do in the Apple store when you buy one is effective

Steve Jobs said : “Any product that needs a manual to work is broken.” Does a full blown hand-held tutorial form an Apple employee at the store count as a manual?
My favorite benefit of restic is that it doesn't require the receiving end to have any special software: you can use restic to backup to S3 or BackBlaze B2 directly.
