Hah. We've been working on an internal project for a couple of years, with several internal projects using our API.

Yet the feedback has been almost non-existent. We just have to assume it all works as intended, but we know that's too good to be true. When we grab people they say "oh yeah, I was going to report a bug but now I can't remember" or we'll see that people just stop using it because of some game-breaking bug, which they never report. Some people even say "don't use it, it's broken" and just assume we magically know about the bugs.

The worst part is many of these projects are explicitly made to help test the API, and help improve it. Yet they don't report anything.
Sure, any sort of abrupt change has serious (possibly life threatening) concerns. But there is a difference in arguing for caution, and perpetuating the same assumptions that have lead to the current state of affairs. Drawing attention to one of those assumptions rather than letting it continue in the background does not make for a straw man.

"Economic activity" directly translates into "use natural resources". The overwhelming fallacy seems to be this idea that sustainability will somehow eventually, not today, but some day soon, be priced into the economy such that we can have large sums sloshing back and forth but the externalities will be fully captured. This seems like an economically convenient myth, analogous to the free trade crowd's handwaving about comparative advantage.

Sorry I did not see how to succinctly express the overall arc of what I said with less "fervor". If two people are having a casual conversation about say baseball, but you think it is harmful and destructive, it's impossible to express without sounding like a looney. (I used baseball because I think it's innocuous. Whereas any real example would inherently be polarizing).

I want to make diagrams like the ones on this page - https://www.google.com/amp/s/creately.com/blog/diagrams/aws-... - but I want to have a way to define them in a text format and version control and modify them easily.

I’ve tried doing this with PlantUML but never got it right. Is there a tool like PlantUML that is specifically for architecture diagrams like the ones above (custom icons, etc)?

When you move through any environment, it leaves a discernible trace in a (to most people) surprisingly large swath of sensor platforms that exist solely for boring industrial purposes like building management, measuring the operating environment of equipment to improve efficiency, etc, never mind systems actually designed to indirectly capture people (like cameras). Your existence perturbs the environment and leaves a faint footprint in the data. As a trivial example, transient proximity of people creates small fluctuations in measured temperatures. There are analytical techniques that reliably and systematically isolate and amplify those traces so that you can fingerprint and track a person using them. The typical urbanized environment is littered with these sensors and it has been repeatedly demonstrated that the measurements coming off these sensors can be used to constructively identify specific individuals in the environment.

I think the gap for most people is not the existence of these sensors, which capture nothing about a person in any kind of direct way, or that people perturb their environment in some abstract way, but the existence of analytic techniques that allow someone to reconstruct detailed personal information from large collections of extremely oblique measurements of the broader environment.

The analytic methods for doing this type of reconstruction are quite clever and non-obvious, which I guess would need to be the case for it to be surprising. It is nothing at all like typical web or enterprise analytics -- you are using measured physics and constraints on that physics to infer environmental dynamics that you can't measure directly.
When daylight savings time was first introduced in Brazil, it was for the whole country.

Then a couple of years ago the north and northeastern parts of the country, which are closer to the equator, stopped observing daylight savings time.

Finally, this year the president passed an executive order that abolished daylight savings time for the whole country. If it had not been canceled, this year's daylight savings time would have started two weeks ago. There was a brief confusion because some people's cellphones didn't update the time zone database correctly and switched to daylight savings time even though they should not anymore.

I think pg always tries to make things a part of the big plan or a big arc. Can't blame him - it's easier to reason about things when they fit together, and stringing them up as a part of a trend/arc/pursuit-of-telos works very well for that. It might even be correct sometimes. Despite the apparent bias it's still quality writing and often generates quality discussions.

I also have to say that most people in our industry cannot generalize at all; pg is one of only two people I know who can do the job without botching it. To the extent that we want to generalize anything at all, however well, we have nearly no one else to look at.

Not every site is static. Sometimes you need forms, processing, or other back-end business logic. Some people advocating using saas widgets for stuff like cc payments, but you're just farming out the dynamic parts to someone else. That gets hard to maintain with scale and with increased complexity.

I see a lot of people on this site debating the pure merits of a technology, but what others know and can work with is just as important as the technology itself. People know wordpress.

Why would I report every random bug when it’ll just get closed in five years as WONTFIX? Let’s be realistic: most FOSS projects are run by people who already have a lot to do, and at least from what I’ve seen, the ability to get any specific bug fixed is pretty low. So that’s why I don’t bother.
I think the parent's point was that even though I spent more, I would be viewed as less generous. Instead of buying you that $45 scarf, I'll go even cheaper. I'll spend $25 for a fancy version of something that normally costs only $10.

The "trick" is for the purchaser. If I don't want to spend much money buying someone a gift, this is a hack where I can spend as little as suits me, and still be viewed as generous.

Of course, the disconnect only occurs when people view all of this as zero sum. This is a classic example of a win-win: Both sides are (legitimately) happy with the situation. There's nothing wrong/evil about it.

US anti-trust actions have historically been triggered by abuse of market dominance (e.g. leveraging market dominance in other markets; anti-competitive behavior in a dominated market) which is not coupled to the ease of using a different service.

Ease-of-switching puts the onus on the user to recognize corporate violations of anti-trust law rather than upon the company violating anti-trust regulation.

It doesn't really make sense to presume users would or should change their behavior if a provider violates anti-trust law.

My main gripe was with the hard 2 hour requirement and the immediate dismissal of it based on what I felt were either trivial or inaccurate concerns. Additionally if you created a PR for the project any point past the 2 hour mark you were not considered anymore. Having a project is fine, but if the applicant takes the time to do the project and it's at least 80% of the way there I think interviewers are doing themselves a disservice by dismissing projects that are not perfect. There is no way to accurately determine whether that person is a good fit or not based on that little information. You might find that they spent more time planning for example and wrote something that would scale better if more time was spent on it. IMO people who plan more than they code are better assets.

In essence, if you require a project to be done for an interview regardless of the time limits and the applicant makes a reasonable effort and demonstrates adequate competency then IMO you should always give them an interview. If you're looking for something perfect then pay them. If you put hard time requirements on the project and expect it to be flawless you give off the impression that people are required to work under pressure.

That being said, I think it might be worth considering giving people the option of a take home project or a long interview. I know one guy who refuses to do take home projects and rather just sit in an interview all day and other friends who are the exact opposite.
Getting harder to maintain with scale and increased complexity is not something I would associate with a small site though.
That is definitely not true. I think that statement is correct roughly for the top 50,000. The fall off in economic viability is fairly abrupt.

There are some websites in certain markets where the earn a disproportionately high amount of revenue per visitor, and these are the exception. But, given the nature of web and the difficulty in how the user actually found that site, a good chunk of their margins may have accrued to another party such as Google.
I think most companies I've worked at opportunistically looked for standout candidates by always having job postings even when there were no openings. This creates a feedback loop.

Yeah, got me too. Ouss is actually a respondent in the linked StackOverflow article.
Sure, all of that makes sense, but my argument is that you actually are being less generous by buying a lower quality product, even if it's more expensive. The amount of money spent is not the relevant factor.

You're not merely "viewed" as such.

Consider a limiting case in which I spend thousands of dollars on something you don't want at all and has no resale value. That's not generous, it's just stupid, or possibly even spiteful.

1920s were not peak America. Post WW2 left us as the only untouched industrial power and our share of global GDP was incredible.

The US was 90% white in 1950, if it was a good time for white people than it was a good time for the vast majority. Civil rights were moving the right direction, I’d rather be proud of the progress on Civil Rights at that time. I won’t judge the period for not having gay friendly policies. There were no gay friendly countries in the 1950s, lol.
Or, by the time they tell you it’s broken, they’re so agitated that it’s difficult to get good info out of them.

Is there any downside to this? I mean, I have several wildcard certs issued for each of my personal domains mainly because it's more convenient to get separate certs on each host with certbot than trying to sync certs from one host to another. Is there any reason I shouldn't do this?

They often have no way to do so. Your CTO, who signed the deal, will get emailed some support information. They'll promptly archive or delete the email.

Can someone explain why micro-payments are good? I get a potential benefit to companies (it typically also means easier payments), but I don't see the benefit to consumers. My perception has been that there is a push towards smaller payments at a higher frequency, such that consumers pay more over all but don't notice it; a sort of financial "death by a thousand cuts". Is there any actual consumer benefit to these? I can think of no personal case where I even _want_ to make small payments.

Kids I don't mind. What came to mind when I said this were a couple of whistlers in the last open office I worked in.

I tend to agree with you. Even though there are specialist funds in deep tech, the available capital is less than traditional SaaS. The cycles are longer in deep tech, and require a bit more 'patient capital.
That said, deep tech startups know to access a range of subsidies and grants that are equity free in a way that more traditional startups don't.
In some diagrams you can use ->, -->, --->, -...-> to specify "ranks" between connections. The layout engine will space accordingly, depending on the top-down or left-right hint.
There are a few reasons to consider a more long-term orientation:

You want to develop architecture/design skills. The feedback cycles on these things are really slow. If you’ve never seen how your decisions fared years down the line, I’m not sure I trust you to make decisions today. Especially if I will be here to live with them and you won’t.

You want mastery. This depends on how much custom / NIH stuff your employers have. Mine has a lot. I feel I’m just starting to hit my stride on knowing what’s out there, when to use it, its undocumented quirks, what level of support to expect and how to make a bug report actionable, etc. It’s satisfying to operate at a level where this stuff doesn’t get in the way anymore. I don’t want to go back to it just because.

The employer does have to return the favor, though. Standard equity compensation is highest in the fourth year (all the refreshers stack), so there’s incentive to stay at least that long. And managers need to recognize your growing capability and reward you with harder problems. I definitely would not continue doing the kind of work I did in the first year over and over.
> When developing in Emacs Lisp, and other Lisp environments (well, Racket, I guess), you’re editing a file meant to run at startup but can evaluate the code on the fly. So, you have control over how the source is textually written and organized

Interlisp did not work like that; editing took place on in-memory lists and the definitions would be serialized into files on request, which were sort of treated like mini databases. Image-based development was used a lot on Symbolics machines, there are advantages to it over always loading from flat text files.
