Lighting and sound are definitely more important. Under many circumstances a good sounding well lit 720 (or even 480) video is better than an average 1080 video. That does mean that 1080 or 4k is overkill though. Especial if the content includes a lot of detail shots or text.

Their service level went from amazing to awful once they were purchased by private equity. As a result after having been Rackspace clients since 2007 my company started moving our clients away from them over 24 months ago and finished November of last year.

> Affiliation is to avoid content dilution.

You don't any users, you have an incredibly tiny niche, and starting a new forum these days is already ultra hard.

You should be working on getting users at all costs, not planning for the glamorous problems you might have if your moonshot happens to land, like having too many math novices cluttering up the high brow academic discussion.

lol, c'mon.

You need to understand that right now your forum is about as enticing as installing vBulletin on localhost to talk to yourself, just without the arxiv.org bot.

I started a large forum over a decade ago when it was easier. I spent almost a year sockpuppeting with myself so the first users didn't arrive at an empty forum. And that was in a popular forum-faring niche.

I look at your forum and you couldn't even be bothered to write a single comment on launch day. What's the plan?

As for affiliation, make it optional. Affiliated users get a little icon next to their username.
I never understood why they existed. They charge $1,000 for a $50 server and there service is as good as Amazon.
I come bearing anecdata!

At my previous company, we did a minor visual design refresh of our ancient software because our sales data showed that one of the top objections cited by prospects was that the software looked old.

Although the visual design refresh did nothing for usability, it completely eliminated that objection and enabled our sales team to focus on how our software could improve our customers’ businesses and why it was better than our competitors’. The redesign improved conversion rates.

The redesign caused a bit of consternation among existing customers, but they got over it quickly. It had no observable effect on retention/churn.

If you were a PM on my team unable to substantiate why the work you’re scheduling helps the business (by making life better for customers or by reducing purchasing friction), you wouldn’t be on my team for long. These pointless redesigns are amateur-hour stuff.

Of course, there are other legitimate reasons to do a redesign, like maintainability and developer retention/happiness, but those are much riskier and even more difficult to justify.
This is brilliant, really well written as well.
You would think that some startup in NYC would decide to start hiring in London, then. Instead of struggling to recruit senior developers with a middle of the pack NYC salary at $125–150k, they could offer the same salary in the UK and be standouts in the market.
Good idea. This prints jobs sorted:

function hideAllExcept(searchRegex) {
var allComments = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('.comment-tree .comtr'))
.map(function(e){e.style.display='none';return e});
var topLevelComments = allComments.filter(e=> e.querySelector('img[width="0"]'));
var matchedComments = topLevelComments.filter(e=>
(e.style.display = searchRegex.test(e.querySelector('.comment').innerText) ? 'table-row' : 'none')=='table-row');
return 'Showing '+(matchedComments.length+'').padStart(3, ' ')+' out of '+topLevelComments.length+' jobs for '+searchRegex;
}

> Users are more tolerant of __minor__ usability issues

Let's be honest, aesthetic-usability effect is too insignificant to ever prioritize aesthetics over usability and pretty much no company in the world can benefit from it. It's just a justification for producing pretty looking interfaces with awful UX, because UX is hard, a typical designer on the market likely can't even do it and eye candy is more easily sellable in hierarchical organizations, where everyone can impress their bosses all the way to the top.

Yes. They say the bulk of the cost is fanatical support but it's been far and away from that lately. It's like £1000 a month for a low end server and crap support. It's ridiculous now.

For example, we agreed a planned maintenance window 2 weeks ago. It happened, it failed and they left the server offline for 7 hours after the window cut off.

We asked of compensation was available. It took 7 days just for the account manager to say no. I can accept that it's in the ToS but is 7 days for a response from our account manager 'fanatical support'?

We're in the process of moving our WP sites to WPEngine, where the support is much better, and software we maintain for clients to AWS for a fraction of the cost either way.

No idea why this was downvoted, because this is a key truth.

You need to be able to migrate the production database to the latest version without losing any data.

You need to be able to replace any non-production database with the same schema as production. Ideally, with a (sanitised, subsetted, etc) copy of its data.

You don't need to be able to do anything else.

Agreed that:
A) it and Scilab are great projects
B) these would suffice fine for pretty much any undergraduate course in linear algebra, but many courses need Simulink and I'm not sure Scilab's Xcos is good enough. Since Matlab is like $20 for students, it is basically free and makes sense especially when you consider the IDE. Sure, Python and Julia are great options once you can code. There are many students who honestly just aren't very good coders by their sophomore and junior years. Engineering students have to code here and there in various projects, but often don't have a full class just for programming. Long story short, inverting a matrix in Matlab/Octave/Scilab is more straightforward than in Python. I think Julia's syntax has enough similarities with Matlab and is similar, but the tooling would be confusing to students.
maybe i still don't understand the exact mentality of the community (since I more use it as an aggregator rather than engaging with the community since in the past ive gotten shadowbanned etc) and as such, i don't see what about this specific post makes it not front page material? it's a tech thing and while it's been made clear it's definitely nothing special in terms of alternatives being available, to me it still seems interesting to me and beyond that it also has created an interesting community engagement around it analyzing the value of it as well as the value of privacy when doing, ahem, questionable things.

the only reason I can think it might not be good material for such is the common perception that torrents exist basically solely to facilitate actions of a criminal nature, namely piracy, and while I agree that's a fair assessment, it's always been sort of a doubleface thing with torrents. they have plenty of valid and legitimate uses, obviously, it's just that piracy is a specific configuration of one of those uses, but it goes without saying that you can't really claim "become a pirate today easy!" as one of the features it provides ;)

GoodJokes's "stick" was a mild call for more diversity. I don't see how naming a favourite would counteract that or add "carrot". Maybe one or more links would have done the trick?

The fact that the original list is (almost?) all white men is the kind of thing (like all male panels) which will attract negative attention these days. There are people on HN who think conceptualizing diversity on the basis of gender or ethnicity is a dangerous distraction from what they claim is the really important form of diversity, which is intellectual diversity. It's that kind of Thielian position that GoodJokes is challenging, quite rightly.

Truffles are less potent than mushrooms, and are typically administered non-dried.

Therefore, 15g of truffles is more like 1.5g of dried mushrooms.

The amount of psilocin and psilocybin given in the article confirms this. It's a very low dose.

When I was in Amsterdam, I bought a package containing 20g of these truffles. The label on the packaging said you should split it into two doses, but I've never been one to diddle the dose, so I ate 'em all, en route to the famous Amsterdamse Bos.

It ended up being, quite literally, a walk in the park :)

There is also the case where you don't watch the Netflix or HBO popular series, like you remember some how from 25 years ago when you were a kid but you did not see all the episodes and or want to see it again, if you are lucky you can find it on a torrent.

There are also websites where you just search what you want and click on play.

As a freelance dev one of my clients is the official distributor (seller) of one of the german giants in another country. They force us to use their erp. Just querying a 1M row table took more than 5 minutes. I inspected the DB and what did I find? Tables in german and english. No indexes for PKs. A lot of PKs that were pure strings... We suffer from bad data, strange bugs and awful performance. Really surprising of a sw coming from Germany
ORM are frameworks that exist mainly as a way to avoid writing and maintaining thousands of lines of boilerplate.

Like most frameworks (i.e. packages that force you to write your code to conform to their patterns) a really good one confers a massive boost in productivity while a really bad one is horrifying to work - it fails in bizarre unexplainable ways and straitjackets your development.

IME, passionate rejection of ORMs predominantly comes from people who have been scarred by experience with really bad ORMs.

> The urge to watch some stellar movie as a torrent is not that big anymore as years ago because of the good competition.

Maybe for some (younger generations), but watching films is still a huge activity for vast numbers of people

After 12 hours are work, I want to watch a film. I could buy legal DVDs in this country with a lot of effort (3 hour trip to the city) probably could find legal DVDs in an upmarket mall.

Yes there is netflix, but the content here is terrible, I couldn't watch a film I wanted to, just have to watch "something" that is on offer.

End of the day, if I want to watch a film / documentary / series I have chosen, I have no choice but for torrents. They work. They are simple. All I have to do is click a link by early afternoon.
Is this stuff edible? Being in a city sounds like it would be near a lot of pollution? Does it not affect the plants?
is that globally or in the markets like US, i assume
it a lot closer in markets that have more hi end devices and disposable income.

but it is sure that apple customers are more used to pay for applications. that's something that i noticed like 8 years when i switched from windows to osx/macbook. while on windows you could find free basic utility software like rippers converters and so on, on macbook they usually where paid applications.
SEEKING WORK - remote

Hi I'm David Colgan. Yes, I do freelance web development. But so does everyone else. You've tried Upwork, you've tried local developers, you've tried your cousin's brother's cousin. What do they all have in common?

They are hard to work with.

Devs going dark without warning for weeks on end. Devs who can't actually do anything without you sitting on them. Devs who add more work to your plate than they remove.

What is the most common feedback clients say about me? That I am good at the communication part of freelancing. That I can manage your project from start to finish. That I won't just up and leave suddenly without telling you. _That I answer my email._

Sure I've built lots of websites and webapps in the past. Quite a lot of them. But instead of a portfolio I submit to you my mailing list letters, where for the past year I have written about the human side of freelancing and consulting. My goal is to teach other people how to be more effective at the craft of solo devving, and I aim to practice what I preach.

If you'd like to talk about a project, email me at david@lessboring.com. Cheers!

Proposed U.S. Army Nuclear Reactors in Question
The problem with database migrations are the rows, not the columns. I think I've written similar "column" tool like this for just about every DB project I've started, or write one for projects I've inherited/stepped into...

The rows (i.e. the actual data) is where the problem comes in. Just a few examples:

* Splitting overloaded fields ("5qt" => 5, "qt")

* Datatype changes ("ID" => ID)

* PK size/type change (NUMBER(10) => NUMBER(15))

* "Just" add a column (PK,Col1 => PK, Col1, Col2)... easy until the identifying column is no longer enough!

* Alter a PK (PK => PK1, PK2) - now cascade that through the Referential Integrity chain(s)

* Change the "Type" column for every row based on the output of some external API call

* "Rollback" part of the schema, with examples of the above applied

* Implement a 'vertical split' on a very wide table, and associated RI cascades/updates

* The infamous "was_migrated" flag, or "row_version" solutions that seemed like a good idea at the time

* etc.

And the next level of complexity comes with large-scale systems; doing these types of changes while the DB is online is even more complicated, and sometimes not possible or not worth the development effort.

These are not intractable problems, and a tool to help with these kinds of issues would be quite valuable; that's what I was hoping to see here.

> Don't deal with event-driven architecture when you're at MVP stage

Interested in why you'd recommend that? Event-driven architecture decouples everything up front and the benefits are immediate. In this scenario the introduction of billing is en excellent example. User does something they should be billed for? Raise an event. Listen to it to bill them. Next iteration needs to email the user or update some history? Listen to the event. And so on. All the ephemeral saas infrastructure stuff just hangs off of the domain. And writing the code that way really isn't much more onerous than otherwise so I wouldn't discourage it for an MVP.
