In the modern design world, there are a lot of assumptions that everyone is able-bodied, and it's getting worse.

Whereas, I am able bodied, I'm also left-handed, which is annoying on a daily basis. Ignoring all the real-world issues, touch interfaces are optimised for right-handers. A 'flick' gesture for a right hand, is a 'push' gesture for a left hand, the amount of times a touch screen or touch-pad based OS mis-interprets my badly-done 'flicks' for 'push' and the screen scrolls instead of going back or forward. There are endless issues just like this, all because my finger-profile is mirrored compared to right-handers.

If Google enforce the 'pill' navigation on newer Android versions (right now it's an option), I'm going to have to seriously consider switching to iOS, as the 'pill' depends on right-handed 'flicks' to the left to 'Go Back'. Which for left-handers is a 'push' action, and won't be properly recognised.
A rather sizable one.
> Did 1.0 fix the crippling resource consumption of their "reference implementation" or are they still tinkering on something half done?

From the fourth paragraph: "...we have deliberately not focused on performance or features in the 1.0 release - so I’m afraid that synapse’s RAM footprint will not have got significantly better..."

"Crippling resource consumption" is an interesting viewpoint, however - I'm federating to the four largest rooms currently available and using <.75g RAM, so unless you consider every modern browser "crippling"...
hi - its very interesting that you talk about security. what's the deployment story here ?

in fact, now that i think of it - can you generate an output folder with a Dockerfile ? so a mere docker build will produce a running docker compatible "build" folder ?

Also, can you have a mode where you hide the source code ? i just get the output data ? for world viewable dashboards.
"Could of" instead of "could have" being a prime example among native speakers. Although it's shocking how many people genuinely believe the former to be correct.
I worked in a 15m/year revenue product for 3 years. Our Analytic system was screw by cookie messages and now GDPR. Marketeers wanted to serve Analytics through Google Tag Manager, which helped customers to block our analytics launcher, meaning 0 data for most of the visits.
I don't want a "Pro" machine. I do want a desktop machine. That is, a top of the line desktop processor, a full sized desktop graphics card and the ability to access the memory and storage. My only interest in a Mac Pro was, that up to 2013 it was the one Apple machine offering the feature set. Looking back I really regret not buying into the old cheese grater. While the old Mac Pros were expensive for the feature set I listed, they were still somewhat affordable at a $2-3k starting price. Doubling the starting price to $6k completely moves it out of the prosumer space. Also out of the reach of all professionals who barely can keep their business alive. (There are few photographers left who make real money for example).

Broadcast is completely the opposite end of the pipeline from where you'd find reference monitors. They'd be used during production and editing, particularly by colour specialists.
Websites should use ReCAPTCHA, but set a cookie that includes sufficient (pseudo) random numbers. Keep a copy on your server.

As long as a browser provides a cookie that is present on your server, there is no need for another ReCAPTCHA.

If the user misbehaves, e.g. too many wrong guesses of password(s), remove the cookie from your server.

You can even email the user the cookie as a url e.g. example.com/?cookie=12345678901234567

I agree, and having bikes stolen in the past know of the pain with this. I now have insurance for my bikes.
All true, but let's not accept the false premise going around that the Pro is a kind of humanitarian exception being generously administered by Apple for those who truly need it, a system that you're abusing if you expect PCI slots without being able to prove that they're strictly necessary for your work. "Admit it, you could probably get by with a performance-choked video card in an expensive eGPU bay squatting next to your $2000 Mac Mini if you really wanted to. You just aren't trying hard enough. If you really loved Apple you'd just do it and you wouldn't complain."
Part of me wishes the majority were born with 12 digits on our hands instead of 10, so base 12 would've been the norm and everything would have the divisibility benefits mentioned
Really fascinated that this material and my book--well one chapter of it--both cover implementing the Bitcast storage backend. It looks like I picked my example projects well :)
Hehe, I was thinking the same. First of all, I am surprised that none of the eGPU housings do have some space for storage drives, either 2.5" SATA or for NVMe cards. But when one is at it, make a bay for the Mini too :). Which also shows why it is so annoying that Apple doesn't just basically offer the Mini motherboard in a larger box.

Milkshake as a product and company looks well executed.

However, I wonder if these website builders are a fallacy. If you make money with your business get a team building your custom site, if not just put your opening times right on Google Business without having a website. A half-baken website also done with a builder is still work and if nobody drives by, why the hassle?

And most builders I know still have subpar mobile responsiveness. How is Milkshake in this regard? Are there any examples?
Sure. But I’ve seen fiefdoms and cronyism pop up in parts of a hierarchy. The decisions that got made can only be described as attempts to bolster their CVs.
One issue with commuting using public transport to a large tech campus is traveling to meetings and lunch places during the day. You can walk 10-15 minutes or use the company shuttle, which takes +20 minutes to be in another building on time. If you came by car, you can drive 2-5 minutes and spend 1-5 minutes parking. With bike, it's 5 minutes door to door. Providing e-bikes for in-campus travel would do some reshaping, as it can reduce need for parking space and would allow for more efficient use of time.

Not as big as cellphones obviously. Still something.

People who travel to client sites in dense urban environments may have even more interesting numbers.

My point being, Autocomplete off is not a valid solution as it can break at an updates notice, and the code hacks, while may work, are a pain to deal with
I disagree.

Each time I have replaced my development laptop, I have on occasion attempted to spec a fully equivalent machine from other vendors. I have not been able to do that.

I factor in the quality of the keyboard and monitor, and durability of the hardware. I also factor in spec-for-spec identical hardware – equally fast RAM, SSDs, CPUs (including equivalent cache and e.g. virtualization features).

Even without assigning a price to the ability to run my preferred working environment macOS, the Apple hardware has come out ahead price-wise.

This is given that I make efficient use of the hardware.

When comparing Apple’s new pro monitor, it should be compared fully. The color space, contrast, and color resolution on it are top-class. I wouldn’t need it for programming so it would be a waste. For those who do need it - for, say, film editing - I understand that it’s a pretty good deal.

Voyager is also very slow and will soon be very cold. I wouldn't worry. The book's premise relies on fictional physics pretty far from anything we know in the real world --- things that would cause all sorts of thermodynamic and information-theoretic havoc --- so I wouldn't worry.
> KDE was a mess because the Qt3 to Q4 change was a humongous change.

KDE 4 was a mess because in addition to the Qt upgrade they decided to jump on the semantic nonsense fad as well as develop a completely separate set of widgets for the desktop and the shoehorn those things into everything. Oh then there was the overengineered PIM framework that starts a MySQL server on your desktop system even if all you want is to have holidays being highlighted in the clock widget's calendar. Also they released what was still an alpha at best as 4.0 - version numbers for user facing releases do matter.
1) The website cannot call to external services, which is the primary reason why we thought about implementing it from scratch.

2) We want to invest in building a good framework to track such metrics systematically over time

3) We have some non-web API clients too. Adblock is not a problem.

4) Accuracy is better. Speed is not that critical and could even be a few minutes delayed.

5) The data will be kept for a few months at least, if not years. The storage costs are not a big problem. This is for enterprise based solution, where the deployment may happen in a private network.
The docking is a bit of a constraint (need to know where they are and walk to/from the nearest ones), but they existed before the GPS-enabled IoT dockless bikes were developed. They also had some advantages such as not needing a data plan on your phone (sometimes recommended on the social-media notification addiction threads).

I used the SF bikes multiple times over several years, and I did run into empty docks once or twice. But usually bikes were available and usable. More than once I ran into the person who maintained and moved bikes. They had a trailer with 2-3 bikes pulled by an e-bike--I thought that was a really great idea (as opposed to a van that ran n gas and would block the bike lane during loading and unloading).

It's not possible to protect against destruction by human beings over these timescales, irrespective of whether people remember what the artefact means.

I think once something is more than a few hundred years old then humans will automatically try to preserve it unless there's a good reason not to (reuse of scarce resources, ideological issues, etc). The challenge is getting something to last long enough for our innate desire to preserve history to kick in.
your blog post still displays the code. Not sure if that can be turned off as well.

I use this app. The location-based bus predictions are often accurate unless there is a significant amount of traffic. This is a problem during rush hour every week day. The bus may be traveling slower than walking speed, hitting every traffic light multiple times, and you can wait 15 minutes while the app predicts 1 minute.
The analytics are not just limited to web clients. There would be API clients too. The deployment will be in a private enteprise vpn and so talking to external services may not be an option.

I am aware of these tools like cassandra/flink/spark/kafka etc. But I am more curios about the best tools and architectural patterns that work well with each other.
You don't have to do any of that, just browse:

Of course, it would be better if you ran your own node.
Thanks. But it is a bit theoretical. I was looking more on the lines of people's practical experience, with architectural choices, tools that they used, etc.

FOMO is hard to avoid, but try to go easy on yourself. Ultimately, they're just programming languages.
I'd say it's quite an argument. If 90% of people do it, it means that there is a 90% a prior probability that your other candidate has done it as well. So there is a 90% probability that you are basing your decision entirely in a non-factor. Surely there are more meaningful differences* between candidates to take into account that one that has 90% probability of not even being there at all.

To each their own, though.

*I know you said "otherwise identical", but that's not a very realistic situation and if it did happen, it would justify choosing by just any irrelevant difference, like one candidate having one day of work experience more than the other, so I don't think that says much about the importance of a criterion.

>Why a "Filecoin"? We already have a tested and working native internet currency: bitcoin.

Maybe the "proof" section of the FAQ will explain the difference: https://filecoin.io/faqs#what-s-the-difference-between-all-t...

If you've already read that FAQ and still disagree, are you saying you can embed the incentives to store terabytes of others' data and also the proof of that storage into existing Bitcoin blocks?

(I'm not saying IPFS "proof-of-storage" scheme will work. I'm just saying Bitcoin's proof-of-(cpu)-work doesn't seem to easily map to verification that the peers' harddrives actually has the data they claim to have stored.)

There is downward mobility if you want it.

I have seen technical people promoted to managerial positions in the 'usual' way, i.e. seniority, who ended up not liking it and not who were not very good at it, and went back to purely technical positions within the same organisation.

Nothing prevents this as long as people are sensible, talk, and don't promote battles of egos in the organisation.

You could probably build an eGPU box with the same footprint as the 2018 Mini for stacking above it: it should be just possible to fit a small-form-factor GPU in that space. It would be a lot less unwieldy and weird-looking than plunking a normal full-sized eGPU next to the Mini.

Ask HN: Resources on modern SE best practice?
I'm looking for recommendations on modern best practices in:

Software engineering; Software project management; How to properly, efficiently, and clearly document software; Best practices for programming in teams; etc.

I realise there is no one-size-fits-all solution, but I'm hoping to find a variety of sources that I can filter through for gems.

Backstory: I'm moving from academia (robotics & ML research) to industry in 4 months and am looking for some resources to help me transition from working on single-person/small-team research projects and codebases, to those of a 30-engineer company.

The company is in the embedded systems & robotics space and has recently found success and is looking to grow. They have engineers who are technically excellent but lack formal training in software engineering and project management. They have a few guidelines in place for source control (Git) usage, and have some quality control & testing processes implemented, including running integration tests of releases on the physical systems continuously throughout the day.

I'm entering the company at a rather senior level, since my research work focused on exactly an area that they're looking to expand in. I will spend the first half year getting to know their robotic systems. Longer term they would like me to hire and manage a small team working in my field as part of their expansion strategy.

I've had masters-level courses in Software Engineering and Project Management, but this was many years ago and I expect the material of these courses to be very outdated.
