Ah, so development in the long-term is like chess. I need to think at least 5 moves ahead, ideally.

Got it.

I wonder when I'll be done with my initial analysis, so I can finally start building, but I suspect it'll be 3 months from now as I need to evaluate a lot.

But after that, I can strap on my rocket ship and go to the moon with my product.

Oh, nobody wants my product. I guess I should've created a crappy prototype first.

Ah, I see that people want my product with my crappy prototype. Wait, what? We're 1 year down the line still working with our crappy prototype code as a base and now our competitors are building much much faster than us? (You should've gone with Lisp and not C, buddy)

How on earth am I supposed to do this right?!

Oh, there's talk about this team that didn't build anything but just did market research and then started building it [1]. That might be a way to go, but how do you know when you simply talk to people they'll be correct in what they say about their own future behavior? Where they just lucky. I suppose it worked for that company.

Oh wow, Nomad List just started out as a Google Spreadsheet? [2] I guess that's one way to go! If that's applicable to your particular app.

Oh, and this particular game developer does actually show a history of having prototype code and then just updating his development stack and workflow practices, so I guess in some cases it can be done [3].

I guess, I'll just write up a guide of potential actions one could do and see which is applicable to which situation. I'll also talk to some senior devs and ask how they do it.

Man, the real world is complex!

That’s what I found as well: every time I measured the benefits were much lower than hoped, and especially where you wanted it the most on mobile the cache sizes were small enough that they churned frequently. Way back in the day, the low per-host connection limits were a consideration but that era is firmly dead.

The other side was that people notice slow performance more than fast, and the failure modes were always worse than the savings when some fraction of connections would take, say, 2 seconds to connect to Google’s CDN even though their time to yours was much better. You don’t have an easy option for those slow clients hitting your property but you can at least reduce the number of dependencies to that one service.

probably. Also - lazy ad buys.

There's human effort involved in planning a micro targeting campaign. Way easier (and short-term cheaper) to do some broad strokes ads with a couple ok-ish proxies for your target market than pay people that know what they're doing. So your conversion rates are garbage and CAC higher than it could be, but your spending is on the action instead of front-loaded on salaries/agency fees.

Notably, Summers did not discuss the cause of the decline of many communities which was from policy by the Clinton administration specifically allowing China to join the WTO and the creation of NAFTA both of which served corporations over workers who saw their jobs exported to low-wage countries.

Broswer vendors are in a good position to make this call because they can use telemetry to measure the effectiveness of shared caching. Personally I doubt shared caching is as effective as it used to be. Surely that remaining effectiveness would be decimated by any attempt to implement an isolated-by-default policy that would require website authors to opt in. So all in all disabling the shared cache strikes me as a reasonable option.

Broswser vendors could choose to bundle some popular fonts and libraries but that comes with its' own set of problems.

Senior Front-End Engineer

I build large React applications. I've been a front-end lead and I've shipped products that have later been sold to other companies. My portfolio includes onboarding flows, dashboards, large multipage data captures, web mapping apps, visualizations, Shopify (Polaris React) plugins, amongst others. I'm not a designer but I have UI/UX sensibilities (color impact, eye levels, etc.). My JS experience goes back to 2014 when I wrote a 100% JS FTP/SFTP plugin for Atom and I create in modern, functional ES6+. My CSS knowledge is near encyclopaedic.

Technologies I've worked with: ES6+, React, Redux, NodeJS, GraphQL(Apollo), REST, Material-UI, Leaflet, Postgres, SVG, Linux, NGINX, Lua, Python (pre-2016 FTE Python dev), Redux-saga, Express, Webpack, git, Netlify, Firebase, GAE, AWS, Docker, Three.js, F#, OCaml (interested in pure functional)

The issue would be tagged "wish" or "for v2" and discussed. It can later be referenced when a design for a new release is being discussed.

There are always better ways to handle discussions, but on a github issue on the project's repo is probably better than on a HN thread that won't be linked to it easily.

Free tiers usually only give you a paltry amount of egress bandwidth, like 1GB. This site is serving 6,000,000 hits a day, according to the author. At 2.8kB/hit, its using a little under 17GB/day. Still, that shouldn't cost $2000/year - one would think serving a couple hundred hits/second of static, easily cached data could be done with something like lightsail for $10/month or less.

I went to a top 10 CS school, and and picked a CS major in part because I already had some interest in programming. I beat them all at programming easily, even in the honors classes. I'm not even good at it, I didn't take it seriously or anything; I beat them all by having a fairly minimal genuine interest.

I value the degree as something interesting I spent my time doing, but it taught me very little in the way of actual programming.
True, but at least for personal use you could make that sacrifice of replacing and re-learning stuff as much as possible. Tbh, from an employee's POV I don't even care that much if my company wants to take that risk.

You reminded me of an interaction I had recently while getting my blood taken at a Quest office. To make small talk while I was sitting there in a chair waiting for the needle, I asked the tech if he had heard about Theranos or Elizabeth Holmes. He had not.

I explained that she ran a Silicon Valley startup that was trying shrink this little cubicle area we're in here down to the size of an ipad.

I thought he might identify with the difficulty if not absurdity of that mission. His response surprised me:

"Good idea."

"Well, actually, it turned out to be a giant fraud. She's been indicted and is awaiting trial."

"Not surprised. You know how much money this industry is worth? Big Blood isn't going to let that happen."

I let him focus on his work after that.

Her maternity leave was cut from 8 to 6 WEEKS

I had to do a double take there, I read it as months first time. How can a woman give birth and be back at work in eight weeks? Six weeks seems impossible baby or not, the recovery time for pregnancy and birth can be many months.

If I were a woman living in a society like that I think I’d either not have children or not work at all.

From a security and privacy perspective there are already good reasons to self-host JS code and other external artifacts instead of sourcing them from CDNs. In some situations even without this change it's faster (if it's not already cached - because you can fetch it from the same host in the existing connection via http2).

So self-host those JS files, and also use fewer of them if possible.

you don't expose your tables directly, you expose a schema that consists only of views and stored procedures.
If you really need a totally different version then you jsut exppose a new schema but more often it's the same situation as in graphql ecosystem, you jsut add a new column/view/procedure and don't delete the old one. Postgrest has the same power to describe what you want as a graphql api woudl have (by using it's select parameter)
Why wouldn't an AI, able to modify its own goals, act in a self-serving manner? Perhaps self is the wrong word; it's anthropromorphising the device.

I expect a sufficiently advanced AI would modify itself in ways that would reduce inefficiency to its operation, in order to improve efficiency in pursuing whatever goals it has defined for itself.

And if it can set its own goals, we should be careful not to project ourselves into its role in order to understand or predict its behaviour; it would be unlike any intelligence found in nature.

>One, we’re talking about groups of people tied together by how they got wealthy. You are apparently lumping together Bezos and Zuckerberg in with railroad industrialists who have nothing in common other than they are “western business people.”

I'm not talking about Bezos and Zuckerberg. I'm talking about how industrialists on the west got their start in the "good ole times".

Point being that post-Communist countries elites used the same methods that early western capitalism used, to bootstrap themselves into capitalism...

>2) The oligarchs literally stole money from the State. The robber barons, although accused of using unscrupulous methods, did not.

The oligarchs didn't have to have "stole money from the state" (not directly at least). Rather, much like western capitalists of yore and of modern day, they benefited from having "friends" in the state, legislators in their pockets, etc, to secure rents and monopolies, special deals, thwart competition, etc.
While no doubt someone will never fully emotionally get over something so tragic, sometimes the best thing for you is to get back on the horse and your work and your life and move on.
This is completely unrelated, but I want to ask this question because people that know about this are probably following the thread:

Assuming I download webpages from via ssl/TLS, would there be a way to also save their criptographic signature so that the resulting file, along with the website certificate, could be verifiable, possibly in court?

I've seen a number of situation where malicious public clerk do not update ab official public website with information about upcoming events, and then updating it once it's too late.

I'm wondering whether I could use Https features to bring such actors to court.
Completely agree - And a vanilla browser is a sufficiently capable encryption/decryption engine e.g. a toy proof of concept https://web.archive.org/web/20180225111557/https://www.migni...

"I know there are only 60 days left to make our case – and don't get complacent; don't see the latest outrageous, offensive, inappropriate comment and think, "Well, he's done this time." We are living in a volatile political environment.

You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. (Laughter/applause) Right? (Laughter/applause) They're racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic – Islamophobic – you name it. And unfortunately, there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people – now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks – they are irredeemable, but thankfully, they are not America.

But the "other" basket – the other basket – and I know because I look at this crowd I see friends from all over America here: I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas and — as well as, you know, New York and California — but that "other" basket of people are people who feel the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures; and they're just desperate for change. It doesn't really even matter where it comes from. They don't buy everything he says, but — he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won't wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroin, feel like they're in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well."

I haven’t used it, but I assume it’s really no better or worse. Virtually every OEM licenses their OOB management controllers from Avocent - HP, Dell, Lenovo, etc. all use more or less the same platform with a custom skin and a couple addon features packed in.

From what I’ve seen, Supermicro is no different - they use Avocent hardware like everyone else. Everything just depends on what generation of controller they ship.

EDIT: as an example, the iDRAC on my Dell R210 II’s, the IMM on my Lenovo TD340, and iLO 3 on my HP ML10 are all the same generation of Avocent hardware with few differences. My Dell RX20’s have newer OOB modules and suck less to work with, but so does comparably new hardware from other OEM’s because they’re all made by the same damned company.
You mean like when the internet was small and being on top of yahoo/altavista search results was mostly irrelevant to your bottom line?
> Government spending in capitalist countries creates returns to capital.

Mostly, it doesn't. It boosts the value of specific, scarce assets. The increase in e.g. land values that's directly attributable to government spending is a lot more tangible than any fuzzy effect on rates of return for capital. This makes most government spending basically a transfer from the productive (labor and capital) to the rent-seekers, but that has nothing to do with capital per se.

> isn't really meaningful for startups since the future cashflows are so uncertain.

Uncertain cashflows make the effect more meaningful, not less. Few investors will be well-positioned to fund a firm with hard-to-assess future cashflow, so capital is meaningfully scarce for those firms.

Not all shared resources are javascript. There are fonts and others too. Shared cache for fonts make sense to me even in 2019.
The problem is that the security risks aren’t obvious and that feature would instantly lead to a ton of posts, StackOverflow answers, etc. saying you need to put it on everything for performance reasons (no doubt billed as a huge SEO advantage). Then we’d learn that, say, a Roboto load wasn’t so harmless when someone used it to detect fonts or Unicode subsets used by, say, Uighur or Rohinga sites out that the combination of scripts, font variants, etc. was more unique than expected.

The other thing to question is how much impact this actually has on small sites. CDN performance is variable enough that in the HTTP/2 era I’d be skeptical that most sites load times are significantly impacted by that rather than loading too much JavaScript or delaying rendering.

I think there's a bit more here than a small bunch of Nazi holdouts in various positions of power. What's really surprising to me is that the captains of industry haven't been held accountable until today - many of today's household names (BMW being a great example) were like best buds with the Nazis, grew thanks to military contracts and used forced labor to multiply their gains.
It's unlikely someone in the know will post answers here, but this is Japan - and it has totally different work culture. The idea of an employee leaving before their boss is still unthinkable in many cases. Many people are employed in what are bureaucratic "paper pushing" jobs, even if their title suggests otherwise.

You can see a little bit of this if you visit because you'll experience endless paperwork for everything, but this is only one layer of a very complex onion. I wouldn't say this is all bad, but it has problems.
Hey, nice work. It might be useful though to explain why one would use this over something like beautiful soup or the dozens of other scraping libraries out there.

In my mind, I see the target audience already needing programming skills. That same audience would be comfortable just using a free scraping library.

But maybe there is some functionality or ease of use that would make your offering a better choice.
