There is another important aspect to this where it could be valuable to have an identity provider for people who have ski, golf/clublink, family sports, tennis, and business club memberships. Most private clubs have fewer than 2k members, but there is a great deal of affinity between them for services, and a digital channel to the ~1m people in the world who pay for private club memberships could be a play.

Quintessentially, Velocity Black, and Vertu, among others, have tried to crack this market, but I don't know how much traction they managed. When Uber first launched they reached out with a promotion through one of the old business clubs I was a member of. What's different about skiing is it's mainly whole families. I think this is a sleeper exciting play.

It’s easier to be a board member than a CEO.

Shouldn't this be obvious?

A board member sleeps, has no or little personal skin in the game and is hedged across multiple ventures.

The CEO rarely sleeps (or has more responsibilities than time permits addressed), is "all in" and rarely substantially hedged, especially in early-stage startups.

There is a frustrating arrogance in this piece from someone who is a part of the generation who has wrecked so much for their own benefit. Young people are so critical because you are doing something they no longer consider acceptable, but there just aren't enough of them to make a difference against to an enormous generation of voting baby boomers.

This weekend there was an election in my country where, once again, a primarily baby boomer voter demogaphic returned a party to power whose only policies are built on appealing to immediate self interest to the detriment of everyone who will come after them.
This isn't surprising. What the US government wants the government gets. I was working for a large ISP in 2010-2011 and we were considering long haul transport gear between Huawei and Infinera. All things being equal Huawei had a better cost/performance value prop. That was, until the FBI came in with a heavy handed opinion. You see at that point in time the best place to siphon data was at large ingress/egress. As I understand it there are two reasons the FBI wanted Infinera: 1) Infinera is a US based company and had to abide, like Cisco, to provide "LE" (law enforcement) capable firmware/software and 2) to keep a Chinese firm from generally gaining that position in a large ISP.

So while it's huge Google was told what to do, it's not surprising as this is business as usual. And back to an earlier point... The best place to siphon data in 2019? Your phone. Times have changed, data collection by governments hasn't.

> Sure, you do a bit of it, and then you're often better doing something else, like enhancing developer experience for example.

Aside from its performance optimizations, arguably one of the biggest selling points of Svelte is its developer experience (which is enabled by it being a compiler). See https://svelte.dev/blog/svelte-3-rethinking-reactivity. And because only the features used in your components get included in the final bundle, the framework is free to add nice extras (like its transitions/animations system) without negatively impacting apps that don't need those extras.
Probably due to the top down management style of Sony, but when both CEOs meet and make such a big public announcement, there's definitely something behind it backing things up.

Personally, I see it as two entrenched players seeing a potential newcomer (i.e. Google Stadia) and realizing it would be better to work together and keep the duopoly going than let a newcomer tear away both their market shares.[1]

>Even in the case of open-source software, with full source code and documentation available, the number of people who analyze code is miniscule.

I think... we might just live in different worlds? I'm a sysadmin and I maintain computers, but I am surrounded by serious programmers (I mean, kernel and system verilog types, not frontend people)

I have worked places where it was just me and the frontend folks, and in that case? yeah, It's kinda lonely when you need help on anything serious. But even then, with my social life being what it is now, I'd have people to ask if I was in that situation again at work.

I... usually don't have any trouble getting someone qualified to look at my backtraces when I have kernel panics, and I usually don't have trouble getting those people to give me patches. that requires analyzing the code.

I mean, sure, people don't spend a lot of time reading random code for no reason... but you give them a clue that something interesting is somewhere, and my experience? you can get plenty of help.

When a new senior person is announced (even interim), the first thing most people do is ask "what has this person done?" and they scour LinkedIn, writing, social media, etc to understand what they're about and their background.

I'm trying to imagine senior leadership's reaction on the initial news and during that 4 months. Even if the interim CEO busted her butt, just about the time she has an understanding in the company, team, etc, she was on the way out.
Kiwix has been around for a very long time. I'm not sure what's new that's brought it back to HN. Would love to know if there's actual news.

The ZIM format it relies on has been unsupported by upstream MediaWiki and in limbo for years, as has the Collection extension that collates content for it. Wikimedia have gone through two different offline content production services (OCG, Proton) and removed ZIM support in the process, but now farm that out to a commercial service, Pediapress, that doesn't produce ZIM archives and is focused more on producing paid print copies.

While Kiwix still generates and maintains ZIM dumps of sites, the process for others to roll their own offline wiki archives is more complex, fragile, and requires the wiki to run the optional Parsoid node service (which itself has a somewhat cloudy future, as it might be ported back into PHP and integrated into the MediaWiki core).

Meanwhile, Wikimedia produces their own Android app capable of caching offline content... but hasn't supported rebuilding that app to support non-Wikimedia MediaWiki installations, since it relies on often experimental hooks developed specifically for their app, which are difficult to deploy on stock MediaWiki (and impossible on most LTS versions).
The last company I worked for was just trying to move off of a PowerBuilder+Sql Server 2008 system that was written by contractors in 1999 and maintained by two developers who had been there for 20 and 14 years.

What was wrong with it:

- neither the version of PowerBuilder or Sql server was supported by their respective companies.

- they were dependent on the two developers not getting hit by the lottery bus. Good luck trying to hire someone who knew PowerBuilder and/or was willing to learn it.

- the only way to access the program by the remote offices were Citrix Terminals.

I was originally brought in to lead the effort to modernize the system [1] but they had a change of plans when I got there and I ended up leading a completely separate effort.

[1] the plan I proposed was to upgrade to a newer version of PowerBuilder that could expose the system as COM objects, write a C# WebAPI around it. Write automated integration tests calling the Web service and slowly migrating the PowerBuilder code to C# and calling the underlying stored procs directly from C#.
So true. Always takes a bit of a spark to free your mind from the way the educational system makes you do things. Once you get away from the comfort of routine and embrace the danger of thinking in ways that the machine likes to discourage, the sky's the limit.

For green field projects, specifically for commercial products, I've always felt you should design the application interface first (wireframes, use cases, dashboards, etc.), then design the ERD of a database that will support that design, then do everything in between. Everything else is just moving data around.

My story: I bought the first google tablet. One of the incentives for ordering early was a credit in the google store. I used it to buy books. It turns out that when you depleted the credit enough and wanted to buy something that cost more than the remaining credit, you couldn't apply the credit and pay the rest with your card.

In my case, I had like $11 left on the credit, wanted a $14 book, and couldn't pay the final $3 with my card. For reals.

Some product manager looked at this complete fucking dumpster fire and said ship it. If you can't get the simple things right, like fully spending down a credit, you're not gonna get much right at all.

> Let me repeat that and make it clear: Google simply cannot compete in a low margin business.

That reminds me of Intel. The addiction to high margin microprocessors and a captive customer base had two effects. a) Intel doesn't know how to play with customers that have a choice. b) Customers with a choice avoid designing in Intel solutions like the plague. Over the long haul Intel is a much smaller company than they would be otherwise.

Here is a good one. In the late 80's Intel fucked over Panasonic badly enough that Panasonic put Intel in their prohibited vendors list. I worked for a group that managed to get Panasonic in as a customer. And then Intel fucked them again. And back on the list they went.

Google has the same mindset that Intel does. They can't process the ramifications of their business practices on future business opportunities.
The difference between Huawei's situation and Microsoft's situation is that Microsoft's app store is not compatible with Android or IOS (obviously, different OS)

While if Huawei uses the Android open source base, the only thing they have to do is entice developers to submit another copy of their app to their store, which is a much lower barrier than the one MS faced to develop a whole new ecosystem
I often get these cheerful E-mails from other vendors. When I tell them what's not going alright they set up a series of meetings with clueless people and nothing happens usually. I would expect Google to be the same.
This is what bothers me about the concept of meritocracy. Sure, hard work is unquestionably a necessary component to success, but humans also require a large amount of capital investment (education, medicine, etc.) to reach their full potential; without that, they are doomed to the pool of unskilled labor. People are generally sorted into career hierarchies before they are even given a choice.

What is the solution? I haven't a clue. Maybe an education system similar to Germany's, though I doubt that would catch on in the US.
Because that's the compromise Google chose with the publishers to avoid getting sued to death over the massive and blatant copyright infringement of full TV shows and movies going on YouTube at the time
Ah, a fellow Aussie. I would contend that it's far more than just "baby boomers vote Liberal".

The core issue is that all of the mainstream media is corporate-aligned and constantly bashing Labor and unions, with only milk-toast "criticisms" of the Liberal Government to maintain "neutrality". There's also a massive amount of scare campaigns targeted at immigrants that "Labor will cancel your visas!" (which is what the Liberal government is doing right now and are just projecting).

It's a modern form of propaganda, and it's ludicrously effective. Combine that with an overwhelming amount of political apathy (ordinary people don't feel politicians represent them anymore) and the result is obvious.

Let's not forget that those same baby boomers voted in Whitlam, Hawke, and Keating.
Thats sales, not support.
This isn't just the case at Google Fi. Google's support sucks for their developers too. The /r/androiddev sub has countless stories of developers getting account banned and apps removed for vague reasons and then unable to talk to a real human being on Google's support side. They get canned responses from their bots.

I can't wait and hope that one day Amazon takes over Google somehow. SO far, my experiences with Amazon support has been outstanding. If an item doesn't arrive in the "prime" 1 day shipping window, they immediately ship a new item right away and gets delivered the next day and simply ask you to return the item if the first one shows up eventually. They have done this for a knife set which was over $300 in value and the first item never showed up, so they sent me another one the next day. Other times when I have contacted Amazon support, they have been amazing too. If a delivery is late by even a day, they offer me a month of free prime shipping. And this is simply via chat, not even phone support.

Google should take a few lessons from Amazon and at least offer decent support for their paying customers and developers who help flourish their play store considering they take 30% cut of the developer earnings.

This is a second "million" websockets benchmark of oatpp. Here we increase computing power, and load. In order to see how it scales.
Do you mean because of subjective feeling of it independent of speed?

Because as for performance, we are talking about emulating a fixed-frequency machine thousands of times slower. There was no "variable performance", CPU and video timings are pretty much exactly defined. This CP/M emulator was exactly as fast or slow on any stock C64[1], and, correctness assumed, any emulator worth its salt on any non-ancient PC (20 years?) will show no perceptible difference.

The "thousands of times slower" is not entirely true, since a C64 emulator has to emulate much more than just its CPU, and the emulator task gets uncontrollably preempted. But there is no way that CP/M will feel any different on the real machine, in terms of performance.

[1] The only significant exception was that NTSC machines were a tiny bit faster than PAL machines: A tad over 1MHz vs. a tad below 1MHz, to fit the respective video standard's timings.
Plane crashes are so rare because of the risk aversion. It's perfectly relevant.
SQL is just one example of Database.

My comment is generic about storage implementation though. The same story applies to NoSQL or any other kinds of database as well.
Hmm, interesting. Does one already exist?
there is no such thing like "npm update" to update all package as far as am aware for the python world ( at least as far as pip is concerned ), plus user deployed package could not be covered by update performed by the system administrator.
While true, this is also the case for Amazon's app store, and their app selection is a fraction of the Play store to this day.

After thirty years of software development, the one principle that keeps recurring is Donald Knuth's "Premature optimization is the root of all evil".

It applies on so many levels, including whether to go all in on any software engineering methodology. For instance, applying SOLID principles to your personal side project is counter-productive; but if it grows into a multi-developer project you might well gain efficiencies by rationalising your code structure.
Not if that app depends on Google Play Services, which most developers targeting "Android" take for granted.
My experience is absolutely opposite.

Often, coders receive a design of Database from leaders, with SQL store procedures.

Only then they will follow the mock-up and then start to code.

I think there needs to be a balance. If we want to keep talking about pots at my workplace there are people who produce the same pot quickly but never ever improve. Then there are others who talk about great pots but never make one. And then there are some that produce a little slower but each pot gets better. Depending on the situation probably any of these approaches makes sense sometime.
The barrier would be that many Android apps also leverage Google's in-built services, which would be unavailable on the upcoming generation of Huawei phones. The question then becomes to what degree could someone replicate those services, and how quickly.
Yeah, that was a sad result.

At this point, we can only hope that there is something left to save when the balance eventually tips.
I'm not sure you understood the article. The Svelte compiler does in fact generate code that performs "carefully crafted direct DOM mutations," though it is not hard to maintain, because the compiler handles it. Given code that already knows exactly which DOM updates to make, virtual DOM would indeed be pure overhead.
