At first, but not if it made it harder to communicate in each country I visited if I was visiting those countries regularly. I think the parent is likely onto something in that the spread of JS into backend services is not beneficial to those who spend most of their time on the backend, but it beneficial to those who don't. That's IMO creating an inherent tension.

Personally I have never understood backend JS as you get untyped, weird silent errors, under or completely un-utilized async features that end up causing more problems than they solve, and then all the quirks of JS to boot. I regularly hear the argument of the benefits of keeping the language the same on both ends, but besides slightly easier JSON between them (something handled by clean packages in almost every language these days with minimal effort/LOC/boilerplate) the languages don't end up actually sharing a ton given how you hook into a web framework like Express, database API's, etc. You don't get code reusability and I don't think the JS tradeoffs are worth the slight savings on context switching. If you have a serious project of any scale/long term use and have front end programmers that want to use JS on the backend, either bite the bullet and have them learn now or hire some backend devs in a language better suited to your project.
I always feel better with bright lights and have considered trying something like this before, however two things always stop me.

In general NYT is like English tabloid press but with tips from questionable science sources.
It is a bad deal. No way a for-profit company bought rights to .org without having an intention to make a profit on it. I have confidence in capitalism and it always, always seeks to maximize profit.
this comment makes no sense. even assuming these things are equal, no one is just out there staring at the sky for hours on end for the small percentage of time the sky is actually blue.
Why do planet and society settle for donations yet they invest to create wealth?
It’s 3,000 BC, and Steve Jobs has to build an iPhone. Since Jobs says “we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.” He would have to summon future genius ghosts of Egyptians to invent the first alphabet, wait thousands of years for Phoenicians, Greek and Romans to improve it to what we have today. Along the way summon ghosts of Indians and Arabs to develop the current numeric system, wait for the invention of paper and ink by Egyptians and Chinese, invention of Algebra, and calculus by Persians, Arabs, Indians, and Europeans, Italians to invent electricity, Russians, and English to invent/improve the periodic table, Einstein to invent E=MC2, several cultures to develop and perfect mining technology, the German and to invent the first programming languages, the English and Americans to invent the first computer & Internet & millions of scientific, social, business and economic inventions in between.

So, compared to the time it took to accumulate this knowledge, Steve Jobs would have died around 20 days before reaching his dream. But within less than 5 years he was able to harness the civilisation and knowledge that a ‘global society’ built over 5,000 years to build a billion-dollar product and company.

This is the hidden little dirty secret of our current knowledge economy. Businesses forget that without the 5,000-year goldmine of knowledge generated by the global society, they wouldn’t build today’s advanced products and services and certainly wouldn’t be worth billions.

That we give businesses wealth incentives to innovate, governments wealth incentive to govern, and deny society wealth incentives to cooperate and planet wealth incentives to sustain us is the mother of all injustices in the world. The current monetization system delivers full ownership and control of wealth to self-interested businesses and governments.

Like businesses & governments, planet and society invest in wealth creation, why do they settle for donations and aid?
You often don't need or want cross service atomicity, just eventual consistency. Each microservice should be an idempotent state-machine where it expects to have atomic commits to it's own state but never expects to be able to conduct a transaction across the service boundary. However, services can conduct local transactions on their own state joined against a read-only cached copy of another service's state - you can implement this with an event bus or a shared caching tier. This can allow you to avoid writing your own joining logic and use standard ORMs. Ensuring the queues are flowing and retries happen is very important though, you need to monitor queue lengths and job errors to ensure the eventual part of eventual consistency is happening.

For this particular example createAccount would create a local commit with a state of CREATING, returns an account_id and asynchronously creates jobs to complete the billing, the auth, whatever. You then have a job that is polling in the background to move the account to CREATED once all or enough of the dependencies are successful(i.e you may have a slow third party provider you don't want to block on). Your front end polls the state of the account and displays a pretty animation to distract the user while you do the work.
We're using Azure at my current workplace, and the amount of legwork you can get done is pretty amazing (as long as you're willing to pay for it). We have an ARM template to set up environments, deployment is painless with Azure DevOps, etc.

LLVM is (at least currently) being dynamically linked to allow shipping multiple copies of LLVM (one for emscripten, one for everything else) without having to ship multiple entire compilers. Now that emscripten uses LLVM's built in wasm backend it's not needed any more, but currently support is still in the compiler. This is a PR to remove it: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/65703

Not sure what stack you're using, but Azure Application Insights is very nice for logging. And they have lots of tools for what you're mentioning (but you have to pay for them). If not, maybe you do have to build them (and it might be monetizable even!)
Interesting, the caret looks better to my eyes, since the real notation is x², thus x^2 is pointing at where the 2 should be.

But I get the reading of double-asterisk as 'multiplication of multiplication' as well, either is fairly transparent really.
This has nothing to do with JSON RPC. Liaison uses Deepr (https://liaison.dev) as a communication protocol.

Regarding the number of XHR calls, to be accurate, it is not 6 but 4. Once Liaison is complete and optimized, the number of calls should drop to 2.

Also, please keep in mind that Liaison is made for building single-page applications. So, using it for a simple blog might not be the right choice.

This is what is more properly called incestuous relations between corporations. This will only serve those companies and people be-bopping between them with shadow titles. I don't know if this guy owns part of those companies and is benefiting or one of his bros at those companies convinced him with his "for the greater good" bullshit that MBAs learn in school.

Fantastic.
This is not a paradox, this is people managing morale. Real life is not a RTS with stats on firepower, range and healthpoints and units fighting until they die.

People come to battle for a reason, fight for a reason, obey for a reason, all which may be different. 90% of a victory is bringing the soldiers you need with the weapons you need commanded by the officers you need in the place you need them. We focus on the 10% of battles that were won by tactical geniuses, but even they, without the 90% of logistics that preceded it, would be nowhere.

Caesar was a bridge builder. Hannibal crossed the Alps in winter. Mehmed II carrying ships over land to siege Constantinople. Hitler's specialty, the Blitzkrieg, was ALL about logistics.
One of the many reasons I am saving money living in Mexico. I said I needed new glasses and they just said "same prescription?". He figured it out by measuring my existing glasses and had me verify with a test thing that had swappable lenses.

2 kWh is kind of nuts. Yes, it's in the same order of magnitude than the fridge and washing machine, but those already tend to be the largest consumers of electricity in a household, unless you're doing cooling or heating with electrity. And a modern fridge suitable for 2 to 3 persons will be more like 0.5 kWh per day and a load of laundry is < 1 kWh.

You need to start from both ends...

TDD to get the chunks of functionality you add rock solid..

A Walking Skeleton to guide your vision of where you're going... https://wiki.c2.com/?WalkingSkeleton

Each part you add must be rock solid before you move on to the next that depends on it.

That doesn't mean you have to do everything... merely make it solid and reliable.

Say you plan to depend on a subsystem that is going to do something wonderful and flashy.... but you don't need it right now, you just need to build the place where it's going slot in....

Then don't put your sketch of the wonderful shiny thing into your dependency tree, put a mock that might do nothing, but does nothing utterly reliably.

If you have something flaky firing bullshit events and rubbish into your whole system while you're trying to get the rest going... you're just going to hurt yourself.

You can add a feature toggle or chicken bit to switch the new shiny/flaky stuff in when you want to contemplate it, and switch it out when you're working on the rest of the stuff.

Ask HN: Burning Out
Burning out as an early stage start-up employee. I’ve been employed there a few years, worked miracles, but getting recently getting some poor feedback. Confusing situation. Wondering if I should just quit? Is career salvageable?
I solved the business’ biggest issue. Start-up was founded to do X, founders couldn’t figure out how to do X, I was asked to do X. Under enormous pressure I single handily figured out how to do X, conducted all the R&D, built the prototype, supervised the engineer and release. Its still a prototype, but solves one of the industries biggest problem. Non-founder team lead is unhappy some minor issues have slipping in the chaotic process of getting this to market. I’m doing several different jobs and do everything. My solution is going to change the market, the idea is worth millions of dollars, likely more.

Founders are very please, but getting poor feedback from team lead. Team lead has hindered more than helped, gives conflicting advice, blows hot and cold, has created a toxic environment etc. Admittedly some minor things have slipped through the cracks, but much of this comes from my team lead playing politics, creating silos and conflicts etc.

My team lead is grinding me down with their constant nitpicking and I really just want to go and do something else, anything else, work in a bar or something. Considered going to the founders with the issue, but I can’t see how this can be resolved beyond creating a new role or transferring out of my area of expertise. I did a sanity check and have reached out to others. Lots of others have take issue with my team lead as well, so its not just me.

I’m pretty burnout, and definitely in need to some time out before moving on. I don’t think I’d come across very well (or as sharp as I usually) in interviews at the moment without a break.

Anyone been through anything similar? Anyone have any advice?
How's that implemented? Newton's method like in the OP? I.e. if there's at least one solution there's an okay chance to find at most one solution?
Ludicrous. People in small towns can drive 50 or 100 miles if they notice significant vision problems. And small towns can maintain opticians.
Buffering isn't really the problem I was talking about, it was more the shielding of the clock.
CRI is the real key. A lot of manufacturers have cut back on quality in the war over pricing. Philips had the very best consumer LEDs then started pushing their “SlimStyle” garbage with a CRI of barely 75. Amazon is littered with products advertising CRI “over 90” but in reality are probably barely breaking 80.
Yes unless it's regulated, any monopoly that is "for profit" will want to maximize profits. So they will walk the balance beam between raising prices and buying lawyers and lobbyists to insure congress critters don't regulate them.

Very heated reddit discussion https://www.reddit.com/r/theydidthemath/comments/e2ii8m/requ...
>I have about 400% more trust of Microsoft and Sony than I do of random smart tv manufacturers

This is a really weak trust based argument. Sony put rootkits on cds (different division of sony, but still). MS has been fighting their users forever now. Ultimately, none of these trust based arguments work. If you care about privacy, use kodi, new pipe etc. Don't try to pick overlords. That's a losing battle.
Necessity is the mother of invention. Imaginary necessity not so much though...
I don't understand why it is wrong to use CDNs to distribute common libraries.

For now, Liaison doesn't support server-side rendering, but it is something that could come eventually.

Every person in my company uses a Mac (~100 people) and I think only one person uses only one monitor. Every employee gets a 34in LG and a laptop stand and every person (except the one) uses the laptop open to the side for extra stuff. I know at least two employees have several external monitors. One of them has two 34in and a thunderbolt display (which is ridiculous to me, so much head movement).

I was hoping someone would mention this. Have you seen the product in person? I’d be very curious whether it lives up to how good it looks on video.

For those unfamiliar, the panel simulates Rayleigh scattering to give the appearance of a blue sky, with a simulated sun and close to incandescent color rendering. Too bad the price tag still seems to be in the tens of thousands though.

The website has all the information I need nicely organized and labelled and the homepage has a screenshots and a video as basically the first things you see. I couldn't care less if it looks dated, it's already better than 90% of project landing pages I've seen. (And it's got translations for 19 different languages).
One tip: add a comment to the thread giving the backstory of how you came to work on this, and explaining what's different about it. That tends to seed discussion in a good direction. Good luck!
You are missing the part where the colonists go there on their own volition.

Trivia question: did you know that most of the Mayflower colonists died? Ahem, I mean, all of them died. All of us will die sooner or later, some people find it meaningful to go where no one has gone before, even if that means danger of death.
Ageism is pervasive and you can't do much about the biases that exist in people. What you can do is do everything to appear less old (weight, exercise, spoken/written language) and keep your skills and accomplishments desirable and sellable.

PhD - usually no, as there's an economic disincentive to attaining most PhDs unless you're a quant, AI/ML or CIO/CTO. A Master's is usually a better investment, when applicable. But that's all moot if you make yourself look too old (too much history on resume, include dates on graduation). If you go for it, don't pay for it yourself, have an employer pay for it.

Instead of having a strong urge to stop working whenever it got dark out, I was able to keep working my normal summer schedule, stopping just before dinner. I estimate the lamp bought me between half an hour and two hours a day, depending on how overcast it was.

Does anyone know if people really do become "dramatically more productive"? It should be something that could be tested...
> Trying to go "the obvious logical conclusion is this Purism phone, but your irrational monkey brain is too idiotic to see that (no offense intended)" is somewhere between ridiculous and insufferable.

No, that is not what I am doing. Read my previous comments if you don’t believe me. I am actually (in this thread, at least) not arguing about whether you should get a Purism phone or not. I am arguing that whatever you or I decide (yes, even if we do decide to get a Purism phone) our decision will not be logical. Even though there might be logical reasons for one or the other decision, those logical reasons are not the actual reasons for the decision. We and everybody else make decisions by irrationally picking one option which feels right and rationalizing it after the fact using whatever logic we can torture enough to support our decision.
