It's funny, I have the opposite association.

Usually with any website which involves booking tickets, if I see it's a SPA I think there's a good chance that the company spent some effort on this and therefore care and it's likely to work OK.

If it's a server-rendered forms type application, I almost expect it to be poorly implemented, be frustrating to use or fail completely.

My suspicion is that, because these server-rendered forms type frameworks are very mature and much easier and faster to build something with, they are the go to option when budget is low, i.e. when quality is not a priority, and I think that may explain the correlation I've seen. Nothing to do with the underlying technology of course.
On March 8th it was reported they wouldn't be able to exit many of their store leases.

Thanks a lot, you just made me laugh out loud in a quiet cafe!

I'm sure the smartest are drawn to the big bucks of trading firms - but to think that any of those companies would ever be considered "the greatest engineering organization in human history" is a funny mental image.

I think you could use them for something like earthbag construction, filled with soil. Would have great insulative properties as long as you fill in the cracks with mud 'mortar'.
"you know you want to" Okay, I'm in.
Yes, my point is all of that can be obviated if the hotel offered an online payment system where you can just pay online, same as you can with Expedia.com or Hotel Tonight or Priceline or Amazon.com

However, the major brands would rather have all of their hotel guests be inconvenienced and have people's personal information and ID scans flying around insecure systems operated by minimum wage hotel personnel with high turnover.

This is so that they (Hyatt, Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Choice, Wyndham, etc) can offload the chargeback risks and payment processing costs onto the franchisees.

I would be interested, what are these "food pills" (what do I google to learn more?)

Currently doing 100% soylent bottled cacao, I am not looking to lose weight, just maintain it.

How many pills would I need per day for 2000 kcals?

> You can run a startup serving thousands or tens of thousands of customers on a single server, with no micro services, a simple server-side MVC setup and never have a $600 a year dedicated server even break 15% CPU.

This is a gross over-generalization. There are many kinds of problems in computing that can be approached by a startup AND which require large amounts of compute. The soup du jour is machine learning problems.

As for downtime, OP has a perfectly valid point. If you're building a B2B application, the customer has already taken a risk on you. If you go down in the middle of a busy workday, even for 30 minutes, you can be damned sure that someone at your client is getting some heat for taking that risk rather than going with $BIG_CO.

whats your issue with my writing?
yes, that's actually exactly why I wrote it that way.
Surely they understood this before the initial decision was announced. No way those leases were disappearing.
Yeah, my users really don't care. I have an explicit service availability policy that says any support at all between the local hours of 11pm-7am is on a best effort basis, and support outside of normal business hours is limited. Our services are normally available 24x7, but more than half of them even have pager notifications turned off between midnight and 6am, so that my staff can sleep. As long as things are back and functional by 9am or so, everyone is happy.

It's just a different world outside of the startup, "My total possible user-base is all 7 billion people in the world!" world. This is HN, so startups are the correct, default assumption, but I do see a lot of this worldview leaking into the non-startup worlds as well.
Ok, how about a ten day contact at $1000 per day vs a fifteen day contact at $980 per day. Is it so obvious that the ten day contact is better?

I recently decided to experiment with ES and prefer to evaluate things with Apache 2.0 licensing if available, even if I may pay for to license it at a later time. Elasticsearch Still maintains -oss suffixed docker images and builds that are true Apache 2.0. You can read more about this here: https://www.elastic.co/products/x-pack/open

I jotted down instructions to run the docker containers based on a few different solutions from different places: https://gist.github.com/mcescalante/6be03751c820677cf0f15c7b...

I'm sharing this because I got the vibe from the linked post in the comments and the overall marketing of "Open Distro for ES" that Elasticsearch was 'not open anymore' and had just discovered the Apache 2.0 builds within the last week.
I think it also depends on what base we are talking about that the enemy has destroyed. Is this a base the farthest away from neighboring base? Are the KC-135s refiller planes destroyed as well? Where is the nearest carrier located? Like I said would really like to see how the simulation was executed.
My disappointment with openshot started when trying some very-basic use cases. I tried the version shipt with my distro, I tried the version downloaded from the site (which is suppose to contain specific version of the most delicate dependencies) and both failed at different moments. I even tried in different computers.

KDEnlive, as I said in another post, feels like 1995's software. But it works for what it's suppose to do.
We do live in a world where people browse the internet on other machines than their primary workstation, I would even say many people browse hackernews when they are commuting or something like it.
Speaking of NSFW stuff in Keybase…

Since the end of January 2019 I’ve started to notice more and more profiles with suggestive pictures of underage humans and anime characters. I almost never log into my Keybase account, but frequently check my profile to see “friend” recommendations, then I log in and follow people who I think are interesting, mostly tech influencers. But since January-February I randomly get recommendations that include one of these NSFW accounts, which is quite unsettling because other people may think my account is somehow involved with them. One day I clicked around and found that many of these accounts follow each other in a circle that composes around 20-30 profiles. Knowing that Keybase offers encryption as one of its main features, I wouldn’t be surprised if pedophiles are already using the service to share offensive content among them.

Edit: I reported 42 accounts a few weeks ago, but not knowing what these profiles were doing, I just asked them to check. The Privacy Team at Keybase started an investigation the day after. Today, none of these accounts exist anymore, I’m not sure if that was really a pedophile network or not, but I’m glad Keybase did something about it.
Medicare is justs as opaque, and also distortive: Medicare costs 11k a year, but retirees pay less than half its cost as it is.

The main reason pricing is opaque is because patients dont have freedom to compare between insurance companies, and because insurance companies are not a good model for frequent care. If you had High-deductible plans, you would make a much better system but people hate those plans.

You need a big change in popular sentiment to make pricing work well. (i am all for HDPs)

But there will be always preference. Whenever there is preference for finite resources (even if that resource is "number of meter from celebrity X") there needs to be a method for allocation.. which currently is money.
Oooh...thanks
Not in this sense I don't think, this is a case where turning off the power to the device causes the 'sticking' to stop. Glues are chemically (and/or mechanically) bound to surfaces, and you can't 'turn them off' (though you may be able to chemically alter the glue bond, e.g. with a solvent).
From that page, it looks like dtrace is GPL for the entire linux port.
I'm happy about multiple switches. I don't really understand how cell basebands work and if I can trust a software kill. My biggest issue with my phone is cell phone companies selling real time location data, so I will mainly have that switch off while using wifi for communication. If the software kill means the baseband transmits no data, great, I'd be fine with just that. If it means the basebands transmits no data from the phone, but still beacons out to cell towers, I absolutely will want to kill it while remaining on wifi.
I think it comes down to who you're suspicious of first. It's easy to be skeptical of GMOs when you equate them to Monsanto, because Fuck Monsanto.

It's a lot less easy to make the connection to, say, Amazon (or whoever else). And even if you do, still, fuck Monsanto.

Point is that when you're going off gut feeling (which you most likely are on some level unless you yourself are very knowledgeable on the topic), it's often going to come down to which pockets you hate the most. And, well, fuck Monsanto.

But just to be clear and as I was saying in my other post: you're right; both sides of the issue have deep pockets. The problem is it doesn't look that way at first glance.

Tesla Employees Call 'BS' on Online Sales Claims
And it's really more awk-ish than C-ish.
Well, it's now approximately 11 years since the infamous "Tesla Death Watch" series of blogposts. 11 years of constant "turmoil", "cash flow problems", "near bankruptcy", "Musk needs to quit", etc, etc, etc. Through these 11 years, they've gone from shipping a few hundred cars/year to hundreds of thousands of cars per year which are whole generation ahead of anything any other car manufacturer has been able to put out.

Have you considered that maybe they're actually on a roll and doing just fine and this is mostly just tiresome media noise?
There's this article about a Google engineer who reduced the size of the player from over 1MB to less than 100KB. But the data showed that page load times increased to 2 minutes instead of reducing.

They couldn't figure out why. They almost rolled back the change until someone figured out the reason. Millions of users with very slow internet couldn't even open YouTube before the change. Now, they could.

Tesla probably weren't tracking store visits, and test drives in relation to online purchases. And this missing info misled them.

> business logic being implemented in the client

I disagree, typically business logic is implemented in the API not in the client.
Another argument for keeping business logic server-side is, well, that your proprietary and presumably valuable code remains on the server instead of being widely disseminated.
That Kipling poem is flawless. Injecting virtue signalling dilutes its beauty. They don't even go together.

This is personal for me because it is the most profound thing I've ever read. For someone to come and refer to it as sexist is demeaning.

Savor it and quit being so wound up is all I'm saying. There's a place for everything and this was ill-placed.
This excerpt is particularly sad & gross on Tesla's part:

To add insult to injury, Tesla had offered employees a discount program at the end of 2018 that gave them the cars’ so-called self-driving package, an $8,000 value for free, plus $5,000 off any model, for a total discount of $13,000. According to Business Insider, the company also encouraged employees to trade in accrued paid time off towards the purchase of a car.

Derek told me he was one of the only employees at his store that didn’t take advantage of the offer after a fourth quarter where the store did very well and pockets were filled with compensation bonuses. Now they all have hefty car loans for expensive vehicles they’re worried about paying off without a job.
You're not giving them insulin either, you're giving them who knows what. That's the problem. Regulations aren't there to hold the little guy down, they're there because life was the worst before, and little by little, we pushed back until it was pretty good.

It's a pointless argument. This is right up there with Antivaxx and crypto enthusiasm, and it's a libertarian pipe dream. You acknowledge the lack of regulation has led to a pile of worthless garbage and your argument is let's keep doing more of that, instead of lets regulate the homeopathic medicines and male enhancements, and yes, diets. If you want to claim your diet is effective, then we should have that statement approved. It'd kill the industry because they're largely all baloney. And I'd be totally ok with that.

We live in a society, believe it or not, and yes your unregulated garbage does interact with my regulated medicine via market economics. As I explained. You're basically just arguing we accelerate the path to Elysium. That's an argument you can make, though let's be honest about it.
But the board already approved 100x, presumably they are free to approve 1000x? Which is to say, there is no new limitation on increasing the cap (ie removal of the power of the board or anyone else to increase the cap)?
Neat, I hadn't heard about that before. Wonder how much that will affect adoption in the linux world.

> When men comment on women's career choices, they get fired.

James Damore circulated a long unscientific document critical of female engineers as a whole at his place of work. This is far more than just "commenting on career choices".

He made a frankly stupid choice to be unprofessional and it cost him his job. Beyond anything else his judgement was poor. It's fair as is dismissal for other unprofessional behavior at work or for incredibly poor decision making.

Thanks for the correction. I thought/assumed dtrace was CDDL too.

I know ZFS works fine on Linux, because I use it everywhere, but there’s no way around the fact that the incompatible licenses are causing issues.
Mixed DPI works for one. I'm using GNOME on wayland currently but that's really the only thing I've noticed that's better than X.

MacOS X has definitely not "always" had DTrace - it shipped in 10.5 along with the "Instruments" front-end. It's true it is becoming distinctly less useful on OSX though - a shame as I use it extensively as an (application) development tool. This might make me take a slightly more serious look at Windows for laptops in future.

Heh, think about the bitterness in the OpenSolaris community (and the Sun diaspora). Way way back in S10, ZFS, DTrace, zones, and this other weird creature called SMF, they were all going places!
Futuristic Predictions I Will Investigate at Shoptalk
Would love links to 11 year articles out of curiosity.
Can't see how this will be a sustainable business, at all. The whole goal of the network is to eliminate the waiting problems. Which will be solved in 5 years.
Nvidia GPUs already support RDMA directly from GPU to Infiniband NIC, bypassing the host completely. 100G is current, 200G is in the works. For lots of GPU workloads that don't rely on lots of little kernel launches, having a completely remote GPU is not out of the question.

If they want to continue building large GPU accelerated workloads, pairing more tightly with networking seems like an obvious move.
I haven't had that experience. I will agree -- going with a SPA has pretty much always made things more complicated than they needed to be. I've always liked SPAs, but won't use them if I'm building a site that doesn't have complex interactions. Idk, there's a pro/con for any tech in your stack. It depends on what you actually want to be stuck supporting.
The Growth Mindset Problem
dtrace is now gplv2 (2018, ~10 years after the acquisition), it wasn't for a long time (and its still a separate license around userspace), because oracle was holding it as a competitive advantage I presume for unbreakable linux distro (they ported dtrace over to unbreakable linux ~2012), the rest of the linux community continued with other projects (system tap, ktap, lttng, ftrace, etc), before settling in over the last 24 months onto building onto of bpf (see https://github.com/iovisor/bpftrace for a high level dsl interface), at which point oracle GPL'd dtrace, ie when it held no value, because everyone had moved on.
I'm sure everyone who's heard of TDD has played through similar scenarios in their head. But even the most evangelized TDD proponents almost always end their talks with addressing the fact that some code can't or shouldn't be tested. And I think the fact that they wait until the end to say things like that turns a lot of people off of TDD.

I have used TDD to develop libraries and services, and it works really well. You have to write code to test your work anyway, so it's not really a lot of extra work. And writing the tests first really helps (me) think more about how the user will use my library/service.

I, in no way, think that EVERYONE should ALWAYS use it, in the way that a lot of people have preached. But it is frequently a good tool for the job, and I think a lot of people have abandoned the idea because of the way a few bad actors have presented it.
I think it works OOTB if you're on nightly, yeah.
Not really, most people hate $BIG_CO, they're invested, they're invested in your trendy brand, your lovely UI vs the lotus notes style $BIG_CO.

This is my biggest issues with SPAs. Its not that it is that hard, its just so much easier to keep it secure if its being done server-side.
It does require having the multiple desktop paradigm deeply embedded in your fingertips. I always used full screen windows and multiple desktops so switching to a tiling WM was natural and allowed me to use my available screen space much more efficiently.

James Bridle on AI and the planet’s other alien consciousnesses
That is a curious question. What do you think?

Swim is definitely better now. Better health, energy levels, improved sleep. Swim can now wear normal clothes and not be so self conscious about his body because he was usually the biggest person in the room :-)

Swim still eats junk food once a week so his old self still gets to indulge from time to time and not be depressed from eating healthy all day long. In fact, swim eats everything, the only thing he did is control his anxiety when putting food on his plate.

Swim used to get huge anxiety relief from eating (just like a lot of people out there that deny this fact). Swim had to change that behavior to walks, meditation, making music, gaming etc.

Swim also reports that his anxiety spiked when he started cutting down gorging on food. But that is now under control and swim is healthy and kicking!
That's a really extreme way to interpret what I said.
The overwork is purely organizational amd cultural issue. It has zero to do with lack of people.

This is why the next generation of dev's is going to be FE heavy, I think. Because the big marketing of mindshare and talks is going to all the developments on FE, vs server side where it is steady and reliable.

> are then overwhelmed with work

No they're not. Most are doing pointless non-work (or negative work) because businesses need to show 'growth', usually by inflating head and report count.
I think the point is not that people wouldn't care at all, but that most wouldn't jump straight to the assumption that this is entirely due to public schools doing something horrible to the children, but rather that this reflects a broader societal problem with mental illness and mental healthcare[1]. By contrast, there are plenty of people whose brains consist mostly of a soup of simplistic media tropes, who are primed to think of "tech company hiring low-wage workers" as combining the worst of Dickens and Black Mirror and thus jump uncritically on flawed data as evidence of horrific conditions.

I think previous reports of Amazon's warehouse policies are concerning, but I don't see the utility in being dishonest or sloppy with the facts of the situation.

[1] I'm aware that many do think of (some) public schools as hellholes, but they'd be correct not to assume that the problems describe all or mostly originate with the school's actions.
This really reminds me of Doctorow's Walkaway. Not exactly my favourite book, but it has its merit. Among others "Lockdown mode" is mentioned right in the beginning as being something crucial to get right. Glad to see at last someone is actually trying. :)
