But China is mostly Chinese people, or you are suggesting he blames immigrants in china for fraud? I think he's justified on his part to take an offence when his country his mentioned with fraud, I've been duped more by New Yorkers than I've been duped in Beijing but I don't go around saying, all America is scam and built on blood and plundering.
> Jira is actually quite ok, I don't know why you're besmirching its name by comparing it to a bloated chat client.

It takes a lot of heat because it is very customisable and get locked down in large corporation.

I worked in company that ran an old shitty very version on underpowered server and disabled feature like rich text editing but force you through a 5 page wizard with in total tens of mandatory field to fill for any jira ticket. People at that company used an excel file on a shared drive to escape the jira hell.

Also there is the crowd of Agile purist that complain that Jira is too bloated for agile and ignoring the extra feature is not good enough because mostly "trust issues".

More recently there are stuff like plandek that create metric on your jira usage. In the wrong hands, this is modern day LOC metric.
>Yet, China has no problems following the "Western" idea of communism ;-)

Well, I couldn't care less what China does. Not to mention that their "idea of communism" has little to do with the indeed western ideas of Marx.

As for the "Taiwanese and Hongkongers", those are not the best examples of freedom one could find. One was a dictatorship up until the 90s (under martial law and everything), and the other was under British occupation (with full blown riots against that rule during the 60s and 70s)...
Basically M$ is pushing hard to switch off Skype For Business (SFB) in favor of Teams, especially when still on-premise.
The new features are being developed only for Microsoft Teams and the user base is a click away from a decent Slackish app.
Another killer feature of Teams (inherited from Lync and SFB) is the trunking possibility with a legacy SIP PBX (so called Microsoft Team Direct Routing, or some form of similar creative name from Redmond market intelligence).
So, I think that the future of Slack is probably the same as the future of Spotify, both like the article says incidentally direct-listed at the NYSE (and not via a formal IPO).
Both will have a trusted user base, a better interface, but motivated tech giants competing into the same market.
Is it not an inevitable result of federation and decentralization as governance? A camel is a horse designed by a committee, as the saying has it.

Not really. Unless everyone moves to the same place. We need to diversify from London. Having everything centred there is madness.
Try it out. :-)
I had the inverse issue. I answered yes to too many non-words, despite the fact in hindsight they weren't weren't a word - but I thought they sounded correct enough that they could be used as a word.

> Robin and David Saltman moved from New Jersey to Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., where they spent more than a year custom-building their dream house with a pool on the ocean.

> George and Diana Hambleton […] selected the materials for the roughly 4,200-square-foot house, including reclaimed barn wood and Wisconsin flagstone.

>The trend of rich Chinese investing in property in the West demonstrates that Chinese citizens are also well aware of this, and are hedging their bets.

Or they might be simply diversifying because they've too much? It was not uncommon for Americans back in 80s to have a Holliday home in Europe for same reason.

We never say Apple manufacturing in China implies that Apple do not trust American government?
With full SCADA integration for any type of system (water, sewer, electric)?

Thanks, TIL :)
I completely agree with you. I block ads on principle and will do so even if they're unobtrusive and backed by blockchain-based profit sharing. Judging by this being the top comment, many HN-ers agree with you as well.

The Internet population at large, however, doesn't. People would rather watch ads than pay and until it changes there will be many businesses online relying on ads.
> stay the hell away from London

Will somewhat agree living in London, but I'd also throw Oxford into the mix as somewhere to avoid. I found the relative cost of living noticeably worse in Oxford (salary vs living costs) than compared to London.

Essentially the main point being: really evaluate the cost of living, salary, lifestyle matrix before committing. Lots of other places in the UK offering much better options right now.
You need to be careful when dismissing caution about the elderly who have - through whatever means - found themselves living in a valuable property. The following are just as likely:

- a wealthy individual with many properties who can easily afford a few extra hundred quid a month

- someone living just above poverty level in a property in a previously modest area that, thanks to a gentrification, has exploded in value - and would to move out if their tax band was bumped up a bit

We cannot just dismiss the plight of the latter simply because we want to disincentivise the former.

I'd like to add that the vulnerable (including but not limited to - elderly, long-term unemployed, immigrants, disabled) in the UK have already had to deal with cuts in local services as well as periodically being labelled by the government and the press as lazy or pathetic or scroungers. I'd encourage anyone to resist anything that could be used to further victimize or immiserate them - even if it is just in the form of a casual tweet or comment.

Edit: My last paragraph really sounds a little harsh on re-reading. This is because it was meant to be an "as an aside" comment and not accusing Blackstone4 of anything sinister! I'm generally in favour of taxing the rich and powerful.
Interesting idea, but I've found that making my own custom static touchbar has been the most useful way to use this hardware. Followed this article: http://vas3k.com/blog/touchbar/

I just did the exact same thing, for the boats I can see in Falmouth harbour.
statistically speaking, we're almost guaranteed to be a simulation though

in case we've got a lucky 10k person around:

this guarantee comes from the believe that technology will at one time be able to simulate one human to a degree that it thinks to be real and thinks that it experiences reality.
This technology would inevitably be used to simulate billions of lives for scientific research. you're thus statistically one of these simulations, as there had been ~10 billion "real" humans to the unlimited amount of simulated ones

(this is just a fun thought experiment. don't treat your fellow humans like simulations please)

Mattermost is a fantastic open source alternative to Slack, nicely integrated with Gitlab.

We used Slack on a few projects, but the thought of using a third-party to host corporate development discussion was an absolute no-no in the long run.

It's staggering how fast people are to pay for something when there's a cheaper (or free) alternative out there, these days.

Every single one of my clients uses Jira, and nobody I've ever met had a problem with it. It works, it's flexible, it's pretty easy to use. It's the industry standard, and for good reason, as far as I can tell.
To me the magic is gone because I feel that even if I create something good, I still need the permission from Google to make it popular.
Doesn’t matter, nobody will use it. Taxi service in japan is good enough to where this won’t be a big factor. Ride hailing services are much more expensive than taxi’s.
> Here's a different take on it: subsidies tend to help both the upper and lower ends of the economic strata. The lower benefits directly and, in cases of business elite, they may benefit from effectively being able to maintain lower wages. So who gets pinched? The middle class, which I think most would feel are necessary for a stable society. Some of our biggest gains as a country came from when the middle class made the largest strides. Not sure I know enough to make that claim, but it's one that's bandied about.

Makes a lot of sense - but like you, not sure whether sense implies truth.
>The original comment did not say that China is distrustful because they are of a different race or that their race makes them inherently distrustful.

It can still be racist if its counter-factual and driven by a dismissal of China itself. In fact it can be racist even if the same person accepts e.g. Japan, as Japan and Korea faced the same dismissals in the 60s to 80s (as copiers, second rate quality places, corrupt states, etc) before being accepted.

The fact is that China has been trusted by almost all major global companies for their manufacturing, so China can't be said to be a "low trust country" as a blanket statement.

Of course China can have low trust businessmen or low trust state officials, or they might be losing trust now (with the trade war and co).

But for decades they have had the trust of almost all western companies. Enough trust that they have been doing their manufacturing there (even exclusively there) for 2+ decades.
Are we supposed to be sympathetic to the “problems” these people are facing selling their overpriced real estate? My only regret is that they’re not getting screwed over harder.
this reminds a bit of the player communication in One Hour One Life, in that it's a more novel approach than simple text/voice chat and integrated directly into the gameplay. If you're interested in indie games with innovative and creative mechanics, that's another one to look into.

I have no affiliation with it, I just think it's cool.
China's internal market is quite large and it's not like if America is gone China is dead.
Agreed. If an author described a character to me as "wargish", I would instantly have an idea in my head of what that person looked like - ugly, brutish, and long-faced like a wolf. It should then I think, by extension, be classed as a word; or at least not be used in a test like this.
There are deeper circles of hell yet. Imagine being dragged in a bureaucratic/operations/meetings soup of tasks. Then you could find yourself begging for coding tasks even if they'd be in the stack/project you now hate.
The sad reality is that a lot of what we are paid to do as engineers is stuff that nobody would do for free. Boring, ethically dubious, bummer, repetitive, unnecessary complex balls of mud, with people we don't like working with, etc. Balancing between the too-much-shite and good-enough is a whole new art that you get to know as you mature...

IMHO countries like Finland, Norway, Sweden. They are pretty hilly countries with a lot of natural resources and they are actively working for being as much environmentally friendly as it is possible for a country.

Unfortunately money rules this world so it's a good tactic to start paying taxes in place where government cares about environment. Hopefully at some point other countries will realize that investing in ecology is actually profitable.
>What the empirical evidence shows me is that there's a (possibly very large) chunk of population which I would call unreasonable on a good day, that I only get to observe on the Internet, but can't ever find in meatspace.

And it doesn't occur to you that it's the nature of the communication (online vs face to face) that might be a factor in this?
Are taxis there not trying to scam you as it is everywhere in the EU?

Isn't the average Japanese taxi some big Toyota Crown sedan already? How much more premium than that can you go?

I think it's proven that South East Asians have highest IQ second to only Askenazi Jews.
I read various paper mentioning that. South East Asia was never poor even if you go back to historical accounts of travelers from Italy or Arab world, you'll never find poor and south asians cities mentioned in the same line.
I would be more impressed if government at every level were held to higher standards than they impose on businesses. the hoops we jump through for SOX compliance which includes cybersecurity since 2017 [1] why aren't local, city, and state, officials, if not Federal, held accountable for the same? Similar to the story we had recently where state colleges across New York and elsewhere were not complying with the ADA and costing the tax payers millions.

I dont think federation has anything to do with it. There were no incentives to bring it to consumers though (in contrast e.g. to email), and by itself it is not easy to use for vast majority of end users.
SO many comments and questions on this thread, yet you chose to reply on only the ones which point out your hypocrisy and lies that can be seen by everyone. Most of the features listed on your website are not implemented in the compiler as per "your own" readme.

> No it doesn't. You can build the compiler with `clang v.c`

No one is talking about building the compiler. It is about dependencies required by the V compiler. It is not 400kb without dependencies. It requires clang, and the stdlib requires graphics libraries. You just cannot claim to be 400 kb dependency free.

> The UI package is not available for everyone on Linux yet. Doesn't mean I can't use it.

I assume Rust like memory management is also available only to you? Because again nobody can see it in the release. Or how do Volt and the 10 other projects you have written in V manage memory?

> It will be on June 22.

Yeah? People will be waiting to try it out.

> Why do you spread lies and even ask to report me based on these lies?

Me? Lies? LOL. Me and Andrew both just pointed out the discrepency between the website and the readme. So either the website is wrong or the readme is wrong. If the website is wrong, you are a blatant liar. If the readme is wrong, then why am I not being able to compile V code without clang?

> Are you the developer of Odin, who started a similar thread 3 months ago?

No I am not. And he probably was the first one to catch your bluff.
Knowing all the "flat" networks I've seen that all sounds par for the course. Segmentation is still exotic (and met with either disdain or blank stares by software vendors). The attack damaged all those systems because, very likely, they were all accessible to each other and under one locus of control (probably a single Active Directory domain).
As a few other people have said, a great manager sees their job as ensuring your (and your team's) success. A poor manager sees your job as ensuring their success. Everything else flows from that.

Bill Campbell famously called this "the right kind of ambition". Right ambition sees personal success as a byproduct that arises from success of the team and the overall mission rather as a worthy goal in its own right.

Part of ensuring the team's success as a manager is however being able to empathize with the team but not always doing what they (think they) want - this sometimes means having the courage to make horrible decisions that you know to be correct rather than make you popular and then communicate them in a non-weasely way. It doesn't help you sleep at night but it does help you to understand next time you read "Of Mice and Men".

The final point is help your manager by being as resourceful and positive as you can be, and making sure they know when there are things that are blocking you that you need their help on because you can't fix them by yourself.
Where's your accountability? This what motivates is rushing carelessly because Manager X will fix your rush for you.
Does anyone actually have data on which company is run with what.

Herding exists, but at some point I suspect the fact that more working business use the one rather than the other would have some meaning.

I predict that, one year from now, few people will be talking about Slack and, two years from now, Slack will be teetering on insolvency.
In terms of emotional reward it really depends on the cat, I have two, a boy who is about 17lbs (not fat just big) and a little girl who is maybe 7lbs, the boy just does his thing with the occasional headbutting on the way past but the girl, she just wants to sit on my knee all the time, she'll snuggle up across my shoulders and go to sleep (and stay there when I get up for tea), when I'm at home her purr is my constant companion.

We got them really young (rescues) and she just bonded to me from the start :).
I read a great piece a few years ago outlining the notion that everyone should have two managers: one performance, and one pastoral. Often times those two elements rarely overlap, and often contradict.

Recently I've gone through a phase of having 5 managers in 6 months - two most recent ones are polar opposite, but both great.
One was fantastic at making sure my work/life balance was going well, that I was making the most of networking and opportunities around the org.
My current manager is great at managing my outcomes, and making sure all the i's are dotted and t's are crossed for org processes.

I'd say if you only have one, the latter is the best for succeeding in a company - and the main marker of success is another pithy quote as below:

"Their success is their team's success, their team's failures are their failures" - basically they pass the baton for their wins to the team, and take the burden of their employees mistakes themselves to the rest of the org (whilst not shielding them from the learning opportunity).
Well, it has "real nutritional value", in the sense it provides calories, and probably aminoacids but nothing out of the ordinary or with medical value

EDIT: I found the game you're talking about: https://www.pcgamer.com/a-brief-history-of-moirai-one-of-pcs.... The article has a great description of it and a video.

---

Argh I remember the game you're talking about. I read an article about it and have been trying to find that article again since the last few weeks and it's been driving me crazy that I can't remember its name.

The game had a 2.5d engine. A character in a village told you to find someone in a cave. You bring a knife with you for defense. In the cave, you find someone else who is bloody with a knife, your character accuses them of killing the person you're looking for, and they say a message in response. You can either kill the person or let them pass, though you get blood on you if you do either. When you go to leave the cave, another character finds you, stops you, threatens you with a knife as you look suspicious, and accuses you of killing the person you were looking for. You're prompted to type a message in response to defend yourself. The game immediately cuts to black and ends after you type your message.

The message that the bloodied character you meet earlier says to you is the message a previous player typed at the end. Your message gets seen by a future player in the same way.

The developer took down the server for the game at some point because people filled the game with inappropriate messages and then used bots to keep doing so.

If anyone remembers the name of the game, please mention it to me because I've been dying to remember it.

Which one do you use and why?
> Do you really think the compiler needs glfw or freetype to function? It's for the graphics library to build things like the tetris.v example.

Do you ship the compiler with those libraries that require those packages? If yes, then the compiler is not 400kb. The compiler nowadays never means only the compiler executable, it means the complete environment it ships with.
Try Italy, Greece, Spain and Czech Republic to name a few.

I don't like Uber as a company, but I dislike Taxi's in foreign countries a lot more. It is not the foreign part that I dislike, but not knowing the formal and informal rules. What if the meter starts at 5 euros? Is that a normal amount here? What if the meter isn't turned on and the driver insists that I make a deal? Is that normal here? etc. Uber might be more expensive than local taxi's in some places, but at least I know what I get.
