In a world where consumer spend is going to be shrinking amidst an upcoming downturn and consumer CAC going through the rough "vertical enterprise software" is going to be the next megatrend.

Sabre does 3.87B in revenue and Duffel is just re-inventing Sabre with a better suite of APIs. What other legacy enterprise, vertical software solutions exist that people could "Duffel?"
Do you mean you needed to know the state of processing on the ChannelAdvisor side?

Or would you have been able to get this information from FTP access logs?

Or could you have done it simply by checking if files existed?

I am building something like this for data scientists (currently being used in finance) and wonder if it wouldn't also have served your team well.
It was added in v3.13. It would be nice the minimum version required to use a function was directly stated in the CMake documentation. I just keep picking older versions from the dropdown until the page disappears.

Every android is different, but Airpods work great with my PH1 running Android 9. I did have to disable "absolute volume" in the developer settings to get reasonable playback levels.
Microsoft didn't spend enough money on lobbying in the 90s, and so the government cracked down on them. "Nice browser you have there, shame if something happened to it."

Google learned from MS's mistakes.
The British may have wanted a decisive battle, but they didn't want to lose any more of their fleet to submarines and mines. The Germans were the ones pronking around raiding the English coast and what-not.

"Could never bring themselves to put them fully at risk" does kind of describe the overall situation.

I used to think Google and Apple were making a poor choice by doing this kind of interview, but I wonder now if it gets the results they want: they want interchangeable cogs that don't stand out too much. They want known quantities. If you're "the documentation guy" or "the security-testing girl", you've wasted time learning skills they won't utilize, since they want you to be exactly like every other developer. If documentation and security are going to happen at the company, a dedicated team will be formed for that, with monthly reports on key metrics going up the chain to management. That's how big corporations work, from what I've seen.
Among many other issues, the world you fantasize about would result in far more cases of HIV. What actually decreased HIV transmission rates was destigmatization; more people being tested; creating a cultural norm around condom use; and new treatment regimes and adherence strategies that decrease viral load to undetectability. All three of the latter have a core dependency on destigmatization, which your proposed policy would fail miserably at.
There may have been better options but I was 15 and didn't know anything. Unlike now, where I am 44 and don't know anything.
I use mine every day for at least an hour of running. Yesterday they ran out of power at just over two hours of running. I have had mine for a couple of years now.

I’m looking forward to buying these new ones as they are water resistant and the original model is not, requiring me to dry the sweat off of them very carefully.
Standard bluetooth has pretty bad quality. But Android has the AptXHD standard, for high quality wireless earphones. That's what we should compare this to.
Fractional reserve banking has the same problem, yet provides a real, functional purpose for finance.

Tether has a purpose - to be a savings account is not that purpose.
I suppose you're right. I've lived in GA, SC, and now Florida and have decided to give up attempting any sort of walking lifestyle outside of leisure or small trips. Dripping in sweat after 1 mile of walking doesnt seem very practical
If there is a problem with Apple documentation issue a bug report. I'm not from apple but I worked in their ecosystem for some time. When you experience real problems your manager or CTO might have to get in touch with a managing director. If you go to WWDC make sure you complain directly to the guys wearing the checkered shirts. They are the ones in change. The cool thing about WWDC is that you can communicate directly with Apple developers. They will even look at your code to help.
> I am not in the market for anything like this, since I have the high-end spectrum covered w/ some Sony over the ear noise cancelling cans but if I was I would give these a shot in a new york minute.

Like the first-gen AirPods, I think having noise-cancelling in this form factor is a game-changer. All other noise-cancelling headphones, as far as I know, are either bulky on-ears or earbuds with a brick that dangles at the end of the cable.

Being able to block out the world with a device like the AirPods that just fades into the background is a dream. Especially for someone like me who has to wear noise-cancelling headphones to sleep at night.

I’m still on my g1 Applewatch. If it had as many issues as the fitbits, I sure wouldn’t buy more fitbits.
This is my favorite bit about native IPv6 at home [0]. No more port forwarding to expose particular services -- I can just `ssh desktop.home.net` or `ssh other.home.net`, and they both get to run on default ports! (Of course, one probably wants a firewall -- I block inbound IPv6 by default except ssh.)

[0] Comcast is surprisingly good here -- they'll give you a /60 (16 /64 networks) if you ask for it with the right DHCP option!
If the noise cancelling and sound quality on these is great, I may actually go from the Sony cans to these, mainly due to Bluetooth pairing woes. With the Sony headphones, if I want to switch from iPhone to Macbook I have to do the dance of Bluetooth repairing. Switch off BT on iPhone -> connect headphones to Mac, switch iPhone BT back on.

The sound would have to be in the same ballpark though, which is hardly a guarantee given my experience with IEMs in the past.
Even a simple scaling down of the board from 19x19 to 9x9 has a huge effect on strategy. A circular board would probably produce something that doesn't look like Go and would confuse trained humans as well.
I'v always paid in full for my phones. No contract. Granted my phones are cheap as the only thing I care about them doing anything other then phone calls is off-line GPS software and cycling computer. My current $200 Canadian Redmi Note 5 does this just fine and has quite decent camera as well. Do not even have data plan on a friggin thing.
I respect and share your goal to educate users about what they should expect from their browser/computer security-wise.

As someone with a (healthy?) distrust of the content I copy/paste, and would never run code I copy/pasted without checking it first (one of the examples given in the linked bug report thread), I would still rather my browser only copy the text that I visibly highlighted. It is annoying to edit content out that I have carefully selected.
The most important aspect of an interview process is that it is easy to teach. It doesn't matter if you have enough insight if you can't transfer said insight to those who will be on the floor and interview. So no assumptions about common sense of the interviewer is allowed, because common sense isn't common.

So the only thing you really can do is ask objective questions or check technical skills. Thus the choice is not between hard skills or soft skills, but between hard skills and no skills because the soft part deteriorates extremely quickly and becomes essentially useless at scale.
They already know your documentation style based on the portfolio. They are testing your grasp of language fundamentals and various features, and how you can use them to solve a simple and common problem.

Writing documentation headers in an interview setting should only happen if they explicitly state that you should write them, or after you ask the interviewer if you should be writing them.

Intern #1 to YC Founder: An Interview with Jack Forbes of Faros (YC W19)
I am not entirely sure if the program is run by the US manufacturing division or local dealers. The car I got had 10,000 miles on it and is a 2019 model so not brand new.
Yup, logging into web servers at work. I haven't messed with WSL much except for having a local Linux environment for local work. I have a home server for anything more serious than that such as hard drive recoveries and the like. I discovered Mobaxterm some years back and have stuck with it. It really is nice. While it may be overkill, I've had to do things like open up RDP on multiple boxes and wow... it Just Works. It's a hidden gem.

Medicine is still a commodity even if another entity collectively bargains for it (ie NHS). Why doesn't the parent just by the medicine directly? Surely the NHS doesn't prevent that from happening. Oh, right, it is too expensive to purchase for most people without collectively bargaining. But I guess even that kind of bureaucracy isn't tolerable to an absolutist.
> But then I tried to run it on a build server I was using (Netlify), and I got this extremely strange error message: “File not found”. I straced it, and sure enough execve was returning the error code ENOENT, which means “File not found”. This was kind of maddening because the file was DEFINITELY there and it had the correct permissions and everything.

This is an infuriating property of the runtime linkers on both Linux and Windows: if you're trying to load file A, and dependency B of file A does not exist, you just get "file not found" with no indication of which file it was, and it's extremely hard to debug. At least on linux the "show dependencies" tool is built in.
Writing a JS compiler in TS is easier than writing a TS compiler in TS, since TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript.
Somehow there’s no discussion of the article here, nothing about traffic fatalities per metric or from the pedestrian point of view. It’s people in their respective cities who are dying, being killed by their metaphorical neighbors.

My wife and I both blew through multiple Fitbit replacements each, and we're not enormously active people. Build quality was abysmal.
As I understand it for Twitter in particular, third-party apps were limiting the reach of their business-related tactics that users hated. Namely, none of those apps implemented any kind of invasive advertising, tracking, and recommendations – which made those apps much better from the UX standpoint than the official ones.
Irresponsible sanguine BS. Path dependence is huge. Family problems, leaving school, bad boss, bad partner, spiteful interviewer, health/injury problems: these things can knock you out of the “high-achiever” game very quickly. Comebacks are rare and you can’t go back to being “high-potential”. This game has less to do with ability than mass psychology, like stock trading or politics. Hardships are a nice flair to your success story, but only if they come before stepping into the competitive part of the pipeline, or after you already made it out. The middle is brutal and unforgiving.

The other option is to get out of that game, stop living in the cult of personality, and focus your life on exchanging money for direct value to the customer ( i.e. indiehacker). This seems much harder than peddling a resume in exchange for salary or investment or a professorship or whatever.

Can anyone explain what does the above mean? Are they an employee, or a contractor?

I just suddenly became curious since they're portraying contractors as some sort of second class citizens, which they aren't at all, at least not in the software industry.
Can we talk about how smooth and beautiful the website is? I know, it's Apple and their websites are always the same, but there's always a tiny increment. This time it's the woman adjusting the ANC by holding her Airpods. The way she fades in and the scroll controls her every movement and then fades out is just so smooth.
No, this is not the expected behavior. When people copy a selection, they intend to paste it somewhere else. They expect to paste exactly what they copied, no more and no less. Whether they trust a website or not should not even be a factor.

People should complain about it. People should complain about clipboard hijacking, hyperlink hijacking and all the other unacceptable breaches of trust that web masters perpetrate. Web developers were given powerful tools and instead of using them responsibly they chose to abuse them. So they shouldn't have access to them anymore.

These issues need to be fixed client side just like ads were. We need to remind these people who owns the machine.
Kubernetes absolutely does not mean no lock-in. The lock-in is just quieter (people will eventually realize this).

Use higher-level services (or even long-tail features of low-level services) that are differentiated between cloud providers from k8s, you are locked in.

Make k8s auth work cleanly with cloud auth, you're locked in.

Rely on a cloud provider service to manage master and/or worker nodes, you're locked in.

You can avoid lock-in by manually running a k8s cluster while using only the lowest-level services that every cloud providers offers (VM, block store, NFS, load balancer, maybe one or two others), but most people don't actually want to do this.
The premise of using a shuttle like this seems like a reinvention of fractional orbital bombardment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractional_Orbital_Bombardment...

Not the cheapest way to do it by any means, but I suppose masquerading as a harmless civilian space plane gives you some degree of plausible deniability, since it would be violating a few treaties to have such a system.
If you read the original post (linked from this one) he explains that his goals were to learn new skills and keep his existing programming ability sharp. He has a full time job paying the bills and this was a labor of love.

Given that context I think any paying customers / level of profitability is a success. Yes, you can do lots of math about cost of time and opportunity cost but that ignores the original intent behind the project.

I played around with the tool a bit and it's actually pretty impressive--really solid for for a one person team and I wouldn't be surprised if it gains more users.
The answer then, is that goods like this may not be worthwhile purchases, comparing the environmental impact they cause to the limited (nonexistent?) benefits that they bring to our society.
Ok. So you're editing a sheet on google docs, you highlight part of it to copy into another doc. You hit ctrl+c.

What happens?

Do we not let Google modify what you just copied to inject the actual rich-text version of what you highlighted, as opposed to the presentation-formatted version you're seeing as a user in the editor UI?

What can actually be done if we allow the 'good actors' to continue working as needed?
Well, you are in the minority. When discussing things in a public forum, isn’t it better to use longitudinal trends when we have them instead of anecdotes?
What does that have to do with people dying in those cities? Are pedestrians falling over in a haze? And isn’t the west coast the land of sandals and hoodies?
You don't think Google do browser fingerprinting? As a sibling comment suggests: feature detection seems superior.
The bill is about about "negotiating prices", i.e. price controls. But if you legislate lower prices by fiat and the result is fewer drugs, that's less competition -- which can raise prices.

If there are two drugs available for a condition then not covering one because it's too expensive is more viable. Take one of those companies out of the market and what does that do to your leverage when you're "negotiating" with the other one?
I have only rented a car a few times recently, for skiing and hiking far from home, but I like the idea of a smoother experience and I love anything that creates less waste :)

^^ I know it's 2019 and this is expected but I really appreciate this URL structure for search results. I have spent a lot of time working on booking sites and it used to frustrate me to no end that some projects used a very un-friendly URL structure. This will help your marketing team so, so much over time.

I'll offer some critique of the booking process that you probably already know of: travel is highly dependent on trust signals and push mechanisms like Best Purchase Guarantees, People Looking at This Hotel, countdowns, etc. Some I find gross while others necessary. I think you could look at the booking experience and find plenty of room to grow there. Right now, the car experience feels barren and fake to me. I bet there are some things you will find very helpful, like MPG, etc. so it's just about testing those assumptions.

Best of luck!
I somehow don't see the fit. Pardon the pun.

Their watches though popular are completely self sustained, as in not connected devices. No link to the phone, cannot install Android on them most likely. So they are buying it purely for their experience making watches and not for their products.

Also, I wonder how much Google will want to invest in devices that are not connected to their ecosystem and might neglect existing products which will simply dilute the brand. Could be a good thing for Fit though, as I don't see that as a growing business over time.

And who gets to decide “the benefits to society”?

Could you say the same about everything that uses a battery? We could all just be using payphones.
I used many programs, called "trials", which stopped working after 30 days. So it does not let me use it, while the program itself is on my hard drive, with all resources necessary to run that program.

But the computer belongs to me, and the content of a hard drive too. And the OS should do what I want it to do.

Should I report it as a bug to the creators of my OS? If it's fixed once in the OS, the solution is universal. So that since I downloaded a program to my computer, the OS should make it run every time.
AudioKit is quite good, but it's a third-party solution that covers a fairly defined problem domain.

And while the AudioKit devs are among the most experienced Core Audio developers around, even they are frustrated by the lack of documentation. See, e.g., [1], where they say:

"The most important example of this is that we don’t really understand at present how to create AUs which have polymorphic input and output busses. [snip] This is fundamentally because the Apple documentation on how this is supposed to work is essentially non-existent. I undoubtedly leverages the fact that the input and output busses are KVO compliant, but this is about as much as we know. We will have to figure it out via experimentation."

I think the owning vs subscribing vs renting vs Ubering decision depends on how often you need a drive-it-yourself car in those situations where Uber or public transit doesn't make sense.

For me and my cofounder and friends living in cities, it's typically 2-7 days a month, in which case rentals makes sense. If you need car for longer than that, than other options can make a lot of sense, and though you'll pay more overall, you'll 100% save on a per-day basis.
Government decisions are made democratically, by the people or officers appointed by them, to do what they believe is best for the people.

Corporate decisions are made autocratically, by the owners or their appointed officers, to do what they believe makes the most money.

How is the former not categorically better than the latter?
You're not alone here. Pretty much the same boat. USA-ian in a different country working remotely. Going on ~5 years now.

I can definitely echo the sentiments about gaining weight, working out, cooking, and depression and anxiety. I've got a grasp on the issues, and I could probably "make it work" for a while longer, but I'm old enough and at a point in my career where "make it work" is a lazy cop-out; I can afford to push for "good" or even "great", and feel like I should. But long term remote work just kills inertia.
This was my experience as well. I had a Charge HR back when they first came out, and the glue holding the band to the display dissolved after about 4 months. Got a warranty replacement and it stopped holding a charge after about 5 more months. Sold that warranty replacement on ebay and got a watch from a competitor that's lasted for 3 years without trouble.

I'd love to see the Pebble hardware running Android Wear (maybe fixed by Fitbit to last longer) with Pixel branding. I'm hopeful.
My Charge 3 has been really solid since I got it back in February.

The claim I was correcting was that VMS itself predated Unix itself. This claim is false on its face. Yes, multiple people in the history of the field have worked on more than line project.
I read a description of advertising which really resonated with me: "Advertising attempts to make the person you are envy the person you could be with their product. In other words, they try to steal your contentment and then offer to sell it back to you."

That's from memory, and I don't remember who said it, so I can't give credit where due. But I think it's a great description of what you're saying - that ads are killing our self esteem and self image.
Off topic: I've been wanting a:

It should be accessible from the toolbar, so I can click to restrict / allow the current domain without needing to type (that's for the extension details page).

This will be massive privacy help.
> It's like saying that having abusive parents make you a strong person. Completely bullshit.

I don't get this analogy at all.

Failure falls on a pretty broad spectrum, from minor setbacks to complete catastrophes. IME, failures across a wide center of that spectrum are really valuable (if you choose to learn from them), with the left being not very useful, and the right being disastrous. Ideally, one doesn't take so much risk that their failures fall on the right.

Personally, I feel like most of my wins today are consequences of my past failures.
