>I feel that most people repeating this "you don't need lodash" meme are just saying it because they read it somewhere, and think that bashing on lodash makes them sound cool and looking like they know what they are talking about, much like it happened with jQuery.

I feel like this happens for a lot of topics in this industry, positively and negatively. e.g TypeScript has been on the receiving end for both.
It's definitely not the job for me, but there is at least a full day's work in social media management:

- Responding to customers/inquiries

- Promoting new features, successful user stories, etc.

- Writing and scheduling social media content across multiple platforms: Instagram, FB, Twitter, and anywhere else the company has a social media presence.

- Analyzing social media metrics (engagement, etc.) across post themes/times/etc.

- Managing aforementioned social media automation and analysis tools.

- Most social media these days has a pay-to-boost component, and needs optimal purchasing and boosting of posts based on metrics.
I see where you are coming from if this person is a designer.
Isn’t the solution just good tree shaking? Why not use something like Lodash and just have a tree shaker in your build step filter out what you don’t need in prod?
Thanks man, appreciated it. Now i can read the comments here with some context
Especially at a company like Etsy, a lot actually goes into social media at many companies--it's not just random tweeting. There will be company accounts to manage, analytics, creation and redistribution of social media content including things like YouTube, integration with other web properties, etc.

Etsy isn't a huge company but I imagine social media is relatively much more important there. A lot of companies have multiple people who do social media full-time or as significant parts of their job.
Exactly. Extraneous, useless, information is not no-value, it's negative-value, because of this.
Google Finance has turned into some sort of monstrosity all in the name of “engagement”.
Except of course, with rising sea levels due to glacier melt many of the major US cities will be underwater. You mentioned the Northeast? Here's an article about how New York is going to be underwater (https://gothamist.com/2019/05/21/new_climate_report_suggests...).

Also, climate change doesn't have to hit your area specifically to be harmful. Crop failures will lead to wars and displaced people. Water shortages in India lead to angry people that want to fight over Kashmir, increased migration from climate affected areas to richer areas cause ethnic tension (from North Africa to Europe, from South America to the US). As an aside, clearly the policies of nationalists are abhorrent, but they don't occur in a vacuum, and, in the US at least, the left hasn't provided a clear path to a solution to this issue.

Here's the CIA being worried about such things (https://insideclimatenews.org/news/30012019/worldwide-threat...).

Yes, this is very doom and gloom. The facts are gloomy and connecting the dots on our possible futures spells out, in all likelihood, doom. How can you not see this?

Buckfast isn't really something that gets marketed in Scotland, as far as I've ever seen. It's more just garnered that reputation as a drink that will get you buzzed on a night out really fast. I drank it when I was younger, but these days the hangovers just aren't worth it.
This only matters if Ebola's primary selective pressure is from human hosts. If not, it doesn't matter. There are plenty of viruses that will kill a secondary host dead, but live swimmingly well in their primary host.
I think there is a difference between endemic viruses and zoonotic ones.

Viruses that primarily infect humans have competition between strains. What I've read is how that plays out depends on the mode of transmission vs host immunity. Things can be driven either way. Whichever strain infects hosts with no immunity first tends to win the game[2]. It's infection blocks the other strains. Because immunity means reinfection by another strain is delayed, difficult, or impossible due to immunity[1]. Sometimes less virulent is how you win (common cold) and sometimes more (cholera).

On the other hand I think Ebola has never been an endemic virus, it's a zoonotic virus. So it's accidental how virulent and deadly it is.

[1] Which is how vaccines work. I think the live polio vaccine was used because it's transmissible. Not only do vaccinated people develop immunity, but unvaccinated people catch it and also develop immunity.

[2] Read an article on Cholera. It mentioned in Northern Mexico there are some strains that have evolved to be really really weak. Weak enough to evade detection by public health authorities.

It's not about an attack vector (which may be uncommon or unexpected) but about a basic process for handling information requests. If you're a data controller, there are a few duties you must satisfy, and handling these requests is a mandatory part.

If you're not prepared (whatever that means in your organization) to receive and answer information requests from customers, then you're not prepared to meed GDPR requirements.

If a company had a reasonable process for identity verification in place, and that process was circumvented by an attacker, then I (and most likely the regulator) would consider that as trying and failing, which is generally not punishable but mandates improvements. However, if the company didn't have any process in place (which seems to be the case in many of these examples) and "just happened" to fail, then I (and, again, most likely the regulator) would consider that as negligence, because they had an explicit duty to "use all reasonable measures to verify the identity of a data subject who requests access, in particular in the context of online services and online identifiers" and did not. The question essentially comes down to "were the measure they used reasonable?"; if you spend a little time thinking about it beforehand you generally get to something reasonable, but if a random employee tries to wing it when the first request comes, then it's plausible that the result will not be reasonable.

And, regarding "Does your DSR plan also have to prevent spearphishing your DBAs?" the answer is not clearly negative - GDPR does require you to take reasonable means to ensure data security, and that could involve taking some steps to both reduce the risk of spearphishing DBAs and steps to ensure that DBAs don't get unlimited unlogged unsupervised access to private data; in any case if a breach occurs by spearphishing your DBAs, you'd need to demonstrate to the regulator that you did take reasonable measures and this wasn't because of pure negligence.

Years ago i remember someone making a joke that the best way to promote veganism was to only buy vegan products at Aldi. The point was to avoid this kind of bourgeois trickle down veganism.

It was interesting to me leaving Europe and coming to China. In upper class restaurants here, they put meat in everything, even as a "seasoning" in veg dishes. I think it's seen as an indicator of wealth. At working class restaurants the cheapest dishes are all veg, or have only the barest scraping of ground pork or bone stock. I much prefer to eat out here than i did in Europe (and definitely the North America) where meat and dairy tends to be the default option for blue collar grub. I still don't really understand how that works, economically.

I've heard that in Japan, stamping with your personal stamp is accepted (and perhaps sometimes even required?). They have made electronic gadgets that store their stamps as images so that they can directly sign (stamp) an electronic document (using a specific input device).

I think we should have something like this, but with a personal certificate instead of an image. Of course I guess it requires some logistics (lost/stolen stamps, expiration dates, perhaps the stamp should be activated with fingerprints...).

I take these "You don't bla" repos with a grain of salt. JavaScript evolves and if there are methods that are now (almost) natively covered by the language why not use them? Also, if you only need a few methods it makes sense to spare the 4kb and simply rely on a native implementation. Such collections then come in handy.
There's probably some truth to that. That's what a sprint basically is, right?

I can’t clarify, I can only make disparaging statements saying the government hires incompetent people who can’t notice corruption in front of them, as a side result they mishandle everything and their bosses must work overtime not only to hide corruption from the public but to spin their employees incompetence as reasons to reduce the public’s civil liberties.
That have made it difficult for many years. Buying old hardware, and you need/want to update the OS on it? Nope, can't do that without a CCIE or someone certified to download that image.. All while you're trying to learn CISCO on the gear. Now there is virtual which makes it easier, but still CISCO is a trap. Dont just learn cisco, learn them all. Extreme, Dell, Arista, Mellanox etc. Cisco syntax is poor vs the others imho.

I do it because it's a more rewarding and more difficult "game" than video games, not because e.g. I need it to cover health insurance costs. It's like a game with unlimited possibilities that encompasses technology, research, the real world, society, creativity, etc. to me. I do acknowledge that it's definitely a different situation for the person Ubering in the evenings to help cover their bills, though.

All your template-based logic is in one place. Rather than listen to events and then executing actions using a mishmash of selector-fu, you can have a self-contained template that doesn’t care about other parts of your page. It hides a layer of nitty-gritty from the developer.
Well, I can say that it is exhausting to try and do both. I burnt myself out last year trying to do just that. I'm not sure how to do the break-away thing and commit to my ideas, but for me personally, its starting to feel like a shit or get off the pot issue.

There is no way Google is going to guarantee if there is a potential sale window from the airline.
I guess this goes against the grain and threatens the hope of many hn readers but you are essentially right. For sure, some people manage to have a startup and a job, like some people get rich by playing the lottery.

But this setup is like crunch time in game studios which is agreed on not being very productive. Programmers make enough money that they can put some aside to have time for a startup. Unlike in other professions, there is always another job waiting if the startup was not successful. So why risk the startup by dividing one's focus?
> Yet each election term they voted in either the same politicians or politicians with the same manifestos

There is a large cross-section of the population that vote for Labour irregardless of, well, anything.

Generations have voted for Labour because their parents, grandparents and great great grandparents did, and because they believe Labour stands for working class people and values - all the while without once considering what their policies or values actually are, or indeed those of the opposing parties.

This cross-section also firmly believes the Conservatives are 'rich toffs' trying to screw over the working classes, and the Liberal Democrats are 'liberal lefties' (and of course we can't have that!)

Will the dogma ever end? The tabloid press, and indeed sometimes Labour politicians, continue their poisonous to stoking of the flames, and people just nod their heads.

Politics in the UK really is a terrible mess.

Thomas Sowell digs into this in his book "Black Rednecks and White Liberals"

quote from the book's Wikipedia page:

Sowell argues that the black ghetto culture, which is claimed to be "authentic black culture", is actually a highly dysfunctional white southern redneck culture which existed during the antebellum South. This culture came, in turn, from the "Cracker culture" of the North Britons and Scots-Irish who migrated from the generally lawless border regions of Britain.

Oh all right, I grant you can enter into agreements that the immediately terminate without any need to establish identity.

I was hoever not making an argument by induction, so leaving out the trivial case is not crucial to it.
In a first for one of these "bad places to work" stories, I recognized the project she described in the "A patch which wasn't good enough (until it was)" post linked from this one, so I looked up the history. Sure enough, I know the developer she was complaining about in both posts.

In the patch case, he asked about testing, and they realized the ssh/scp versions she tested with weren't the same as the ones the code was using. She promised to follow up with best-practice testing and didn't. (Without knowing the reason, this isn't unusual: people get busy and drop things all the time.) I didn't get the same sense of rejection or hostility she did. And the second developer (who got her patch accepted) credited her in the code review, tested in a middle way (better than she originally did, worse than she promised to do later), requested the review from a different person than she had (why I don't know), and got a review question with a similar tone before it was accepted. None of the parties' behavior looked unusual/red-flag-worthy to me.

I don't fault her for imperfectly describing an interaction that was five years ago when she wrote that post and is twelve years ago now. I'm trying to figure out what the lesson is and who should be learning it. A few unorganized ideas:

* Much of what people are thinking and feeling is left unwritten/unsaid, so two people can have very different ideas of what happened. (A reminder I suppose to listen to both sides before making a judgement on something.)

* I don't want to dismiss her feeling about bad team dynamics, even if I don't see them in this particular interaction. "At the end of the day people won't remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou

* A (imo typical) code review question can seem intimidating or hostile from a senior developer when "you're already not sure you belong there at all". Maybe an in-person follow-up would have helped, either then or later ("hey, did you have a chance to try writing that test? can I help? I want to get your change in"). I've been on both sides of this one. The junior developer often wants some extra help and attention, and the senior developer is often feeling overwhelmed by the volume of questionable-quality things coming in, such that they can go into more of a gatekeeper role than trying to mentor each person thoroughly in each interaction. (I think this is what she's talking about with "Any lazy fool can deny a request and get you to 'no.' It takes actual effort to appreciate and recognize what they're trying to accomplish and try to help them get to a different 'yes'.")
I would be very surprised if the US didn't engage in some strong arming under the tables to make this go away.

Wait, what did Trena do to also be a potential target here? Just guilt by association? Or was she actually actively participating in the criminal acts (and not being coerced to do so, as I imagine one might be before/while/after marrying a violent criminal at age 12)?

Even better, have the airlines themselves buy up the tickets via Google. Then drop the price to nearly 0 on the last ticket. Then release the tickets for sale back to the public. Instead of just hurting Google, now, the airline has basically gotten to sell a whole plane's worth of tickets twice.

If you need a network server to respond in 40 ms p99, letting it start swapping is crazy. But it made sense for timesharing undersized computers running jobs that take minutes or hours. You overcommit because your institution couldn't afford two computers.

I/O also used to have a smaller speed penalty. There was just one core and it wasn't so dramatically faster than the rest of the machine. Hell, there used to be faster disks for swap than for the filesystem, and tuning was about scheduling jobs and placing inputs and outputs so as to fully utilize the fs disks.

> frontier justice came for McElroy courtesy of the residents of Skidmore (population 440 at the time of the crime). Shaken by the man’s ability to evade jail even after being convicted of a near-fatal attack on a grocery store owner... Belkin also details Skidmore’s plague of subsequent violence ... the series persuasively contends that these crimes indicate that the McElroy episode taught younger Skidmore generations that doing as they savagely pleased was OK—and that they could get away with it, because their friends and neighbors wouldn’t speak out against them.

I'm not persuaded, at least by this text. Another possible interpretation is that the legal system around Skidmore was completely unable to convict a repeat violent offender (McElroy), leading to a widespread (correct) belief that the legal system would not also provide any kind of useful restraint to future offenders. Indeed, that interpretation seems more likely to me.

That doesn't make the actions acceptable, of course. But it does put a spotlight on the importance of having a working legal system that provides some reasonable level of protection to the larger community.
But changing policy at rapidly and at whim makes it difficult for businesses to invest in anything that has a longer payoff. I think on balance business people would prefer to have a fairly stable macroeconomic and regulatory environment.
