Well, UI has been component driven forever - although we faltered on Web UIs. For instance, the entire control library in late 90s Visual Basic were components, and people would build re-usable custom components and forms just like you would on React. It went even beyond that - need a Telephony connection or TCP Listener? Drag a TCP component on to your application surface and set some props visually (like port number). It really was that easy.

We haven't peaked. If you leave out the closed-source nature of the Microsoft dominated tech scene, the tech from the 90s is arguably better than what we have now.
this reads like someone who hasn't done a lot of front end work, which to his credit, he admits upfront. design should be like all other forms of code development: iterative and agile.

No. That is my experience too. If your company’s core value prop isn’t running and managing a datacenter, your datacenter is gonna suck when compared to folks who do it for a living.
Also, I didn't start with set theory to get here. I started with Type theory as foundational.

The wording is "finds $12,931", not "finds $12,931 * more*".
I don't like how the subtitle reads "American tariffs, a Chinese slowdown..." but the article text says "possible US tariffs".

It seems misleading to lead with 'tariffs' when they are only 'possible tariffs'.

Makes it seem click-baity.

Ask HN: What is the video where number of playing cards are detected by ML?
iirc, there was a video where AI was detecting physical objects. It was not by the use of a camera. I can't recall much else, can anyone help? It was some research team.
"Men get paid more" is a hard argument to make, you need to factor in which job they take, how much they work, how aggressive they negotiate etc.

If you do that, the gender pay gap all but goes away.

That aside, there's a trend of women in urban areas out-earning men. However, that won't lead to every woman out-earning every man. A software engineer is still going to make more money than a teacher.
I plant a small field at the end of my parking lot in grain; wheat, oats, or barley. It started as a way to replace the weeds the previous owner let be, but over the years it has become its own challenge.

The progress from bare soil to green shoots, tallish grass, grain heads and then the dried straw color before harvest ties the viewer to the seasons.

It’s a small field. 1/20th of an acre (1/50th of a hectare if you go that way), but since I do all the work by hand it keeps it from being a burden. The down side of being the only grain field for miles around is that wildlife can wipe me out. A large flock of birds before harvest can do serious damage. Lately I lose most of the crop to sleeping deer which mash it down before harvest.

On a good year I make more seed than I plant.

At a previous job I would see the process of films getting made. After a year of keeping the same joke they'd swap it out with a less funny joke. It's not because the new joke is better, the old joke got tired to them and the new joke was fresh.

I see the same thing happen all over the place--branding and UI are very common victims.

Your suspicions are irrelevant.
The question of whether one is more or less likely to kill or injure other people when using Tesla autopilot is somewhat more important. This is not an easy question to answer, especially as there are not that many incidents, and also there may be some features of the autopilot package that enhance safety, while others might create more risk than they mitigate.

I assume you are unfamiliar with the strange NHTSA report, claiming improvements that seemed too good to be believed - and were: https://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-tesla-nhtsa-...

No worries. Generally speaking, you're right.

Thankfully most business leaders don’t make decisions based on cynical conspiracy theories...

Arguments like yours are why business people tend to roll their eyes and ignore engineers when it comes to anything outside of engineering.

Not trying to be dismissive, but you are so far from the mark I don’t know where to start...
I couldn't watch the whole video because the audio was so bad. Of course I already knew most of what it was talking about so I don't think that helped.
I switched from wal-e to pgbackrest a couple years ago. Totally worth it.
I would guess that a lot of them are not native speakers of english?
I've heard this argument a few times now and while yes this is true for Bitcoin, there is nothing stopping another project from implementing this feature. Smart contracts, for example, make this type of feature open to any developer who wishes to code it.

In my view, Bitcoin is like MySQL and cryptocurrency/blockchain is SQL. Sure bitcoin has specific limitations but any other generic cryptocurrency doesn't have to implement features in the same way.
If anyone has a fix for this. Let me know. I recently quit my job to spend time with my family and think about what's next but somehow I'm still busy. Find myself getting pulled into all sorts of interviews, random side projects, books to read, MOOCs with not a lot of focus.
My theory is that this video was put together from footage found in another documentary (it's cropped funny like they are cropping out the original footage watermark). My next guess is the author doesn't speak English as a first language so they use a voice synth?
You know javascript and live in London, I wouldn't worry about it - you can get a new job easily.
In a way English is the most interesting of these, because it descended from a language as highly inflected as Finnish, and in addition with fusional morphology, but has become almost completely analytical over time, like Chinese or Vietnamese.
I can give an example

The way I read the article, it said that none of this stuff was worth doing -- just get it barely usable and then stop making changes. But it clearly is worth doing based on A/B testing and real, measured results. When millions of people are using your site, even micro-optimizations are worth doing.
I would say this is a pretty limited view. If you're working on a large team with many non production environments, this style is far more cumbersome than the upgrade chain method.

If we're talking about deployed sqlite dbs running on client machines, expecting an upgrade to be a manual process is simply not acceptable.
Yeah, that's what I do.
No disagreement here.

The balance here is tricky. Based on public data, it seems that Netflix has ~$16B in revenue against $300m/yr cloud spend. 2% seems much more reasonable to me.

I feel like a drive toward efficiency is a worthwhile endeavor for a startup in terms of establishing a competitive advantage.
What about apps running on users’ devices, with their own internal databases for local storage?

When a user on random old version finally updates their app to latest, that latest code better be able to handle a migration correctly.

A meta-reply. I tend to just go look up the papers a tool references as influences and read them. Those generally give you hooks into the other related words to google.
Yes. We will delete everything.
I agree. That's the whole point of having a bumper. I remember hearing one reason for different car standards in the US and EU was the average height of a car is much taller in the US, so the bumper has to be higher. There were concerns that a subcompact would go right under an SUV. Semi trucks should be a way bigger target; I would think they're in use more than a car, the average speed would be higher (since they're used more on highways), and the body style is more standard and less diverse.
Most redesigns I've dealt with are the result of someone wanting a promotion, which has nothing to do with whether or not they're an idiot. Many of those people ship bad or half-baked redesigns that waste everyone's time but get them a promotion, because you need achievements to point to in order to get promoted at companies like Google.

That aside, your post mostly fails to address the critiques in the OP. Yes, a pleasing UI tends to feel better to use, but most of these pretty redesigns throw away important other traits an old design had, or just simply lack them. It's hard to positively compare (for example) New Gmail with Old Gmail when they managed to make it slower and break the reply button, for example.

I agree but I also have migrations that don't correspond to any release of the product. You need to run a migration to update your database so you can test your changes. A single product release might contain hundreds of migration files; maybe some that simply undo the affect of some previous migration. The pain of that is real but your point is valid.

I like this product but I agree that it doesn't solve all migration issues. I do think we need better migration tools.

Team sports. I grew up playing competitive hockey. I learned from a very young age that I am not special, that the team is stronger than an individual, and magic happens when everyone commits to their role.

I am grateful for this gift, and attribute to it much of my present success.
The position was cancelled by executive order. Politics are one thing, but the facts in this case are materially different from what you state here.
I'm not sure if that's true anymore. Last year I switched to Android and paid for some high quality apps, spending more than I have probably ever on Apple. I've noticed that Android free apps are usually more restrictive and pester the user to upgrade more than they do on iOS - I assume Apple ban this, but these dark patterns must work otherwise why would a company tarnish their image with them?

If you look at Android users as a whole, percentage wise of course they will pay less because they are a lot more popular in less well off countries. On the other hand Google's carrier billing support is a lot more extensive than Apple's, so actually being able to pay is less friction.
You can’t have an economic model that just focuses on all the positive aspects of a deal — that’s just intellectual dishonesty. What about the negative externalities? The strain on public services, transportation, housing, etc? To be clear, I don’t think either side, for and against Amazon in New York City, know clearly how an economic development like this will affect the region.
Not sure why I am being downvoted. How else do you expect to extract information out of someone who doesn't want to tell you who they are necessarily? Think about it logically. I really don't know why I bother trying to explain it actually. I'll just keep continuing to cash checks in my spare time, and you skeptics can continue to get calls.

Thanks for the post. I agree that schema migrations could be improved, and am also working on a tool to address this space. Why is your tool specific to PostGres? Does it perform migrations or just generate the scripts? Am I understanding correctly that you compare 2 live databases together? I.e. prod compared to dev, and a diff script will be created with a create table because my dev database has additional table "foo" in it that doesn't exist in prod?

Research has shown that anti-bullying efforts may lead to more bullying. Similar to how the anti-drug (DARE) program may have to led to more drug use. The counterinuitive unintended consequences.

Also, just because kids seem nicer and more together doesn't mean that they don't bully. Appearances can be deceiving. Though there are merits to confiscating phones from kids, we mustn't forget it also has drawbacks. Kids can't document bullying. Just because the phone is gone doesn't mean the bullying ends. It just means that the bullying can happen in secret and silence. We shouldn't forget that many child molestation by teachers and bullying by kids were brought to light because of smartphones. Smartphones are a tool. It can be both bad and good.

Redesigns are not just about a fresh look and feel. Features get added, some get removed. New user cohorts join in. Improvements in devices enable new capabilities. Changes in system software enable new ways of interaction. Of course, over time, a redesign becomes necessary.

This is a weakness of the United States. People here have never had to "read between the lines". Even now, when the whole propaganda apparatus was revealed in the aftermath of the 2016 election cycle most people refuse to admit they are being routinely manipulated and lied to.

In contrast, I'd say people who believe mass media in Russia 100% are in the minority. It's not even a question there in the minds of most Russians that they're being lied to.

Here in the US if it's in one of the main news outlets (all of which are controlled by like 5 people, who in turn are controlled mostly by the political establishment) easily 90% will take it at face value and won't see the narrative behind it.
An ID for a message is sufficient iff there is a defined, deterministic way to turn it into a URL. In the case of an IRC-like protocol, that would mean that you needed a defined URL structure, or a defined way for the server to give a URL template to the client.

Your first sentence nitpicks the word "truth" and ignores the spirit of the point. Your second ignores my point about the validity of Newtonian mechanics and, in the process, detracts from your own point about approximations instead of absolutes. It's also wrong for what it's worth - again, NASA used computers to get us on the Moon. Computers need not be digital.

I don't really care what your opinion is of my ability to debate in a civil fashion. That you are incorrect is not an opportunity for me to persuade you; your arguments are simply a vehicle for convincing the onlookers reading the back-and-forth. And to be blunt, when you're resorting to nitpicking words, ignoring points and comparing Newtonian mechanics to anti-vaccination, I also don't really care about abandoning civility.

And if I'm being honest I do get a certain satisfaction from challenging your examples in such a cavalier fashion, because they're frankly silly and incomparable. Considering the stakes (compromising herd immunity, implicitly defending harmful ignorance) I am all-in on censorship and abandoning decorum.

But you're free not to debate with me if you consider me gauche or impolite, just as Amazon is free to censor all the videos on its own platform.
I have used a quite a lot of online retail sites, and for me, the thing that most distinguishes the good from the bad is the quality of their search features, in giving me the tools to focus on relevant results.
