Microsoft's team for "React Native for Windows" and now "React Native for macOS", keep showing benchmarks how resource hungry Electron is versus C++, C# and React Native.

So I keep hoping that they could eventually trigger a move from Electron to React Native for VS Code, the only Electron app I care to waste my time on.

> Zardulu is an attention-seeking persona with nothing to say aside from “Look at me!”

Doesn't seem that way to me. It seems like Z's saying that our culture is lacking myths, and set out to create some, and tries very hard to avoid letting us see behind the curtain, at least for some time. It appears to actually be art for art's sake.

But I'm actually pretty bummed whenever something like this happens. It makes me believe less in magic and circumstance on the internet. Any amusing video must be scoured for subterfuge and product placement. Any video is suspected of being an ad for Ring doorbells, and I'm half-expecting Jimmy Kimmel to walk into the shot and smugly explain that he staged the whole thing.
In theory, scrum is supposed to provide intentional non-ticket time after retro and before the next ipm/scrum meeting. That time can and should be used for learning, hacking, contributing, etc.

We've been using this in production at [redacted] for four months now - it's drastically cut down on the amount of time I spend writing maintaining sql queries, and improved type safety along the way.

What's more impressive is that (prior to this post) this library has had basically no publicity but people have been finding it anyway and picking it up, because it's such an obvious solution to the problem.

Highly recommend switching to this if you're using Go.
Scalable in which sense?

Assuming that this is something like pgbouncer or pgpool that sit between the client and the database, and that you have a limit of connections with the database as well as the number of client connections you can keep, what value does this adds compared with those other (more mature, battle tested, included in major distros) projects?
No. Sounds terrible.
I’m not convinced it’s dangerous to explore whether there are benefits to ephemerality.

I’m also not sure your Rembrandt example shows what you suggest it does. The average Atari 2600 programmer would be more equivalent to the hundreds of now unknown artists in Rembrandt’s time. The John Carmack’s of today will be remembered in detail with or without blanket archive efforts.

Maybe, just maybe, Rembrandt’s Status in our minds is a result of generations of people each seeing the individual value in his work. That is, each generation does indeed get to decide what future generations remember. Or at least it used to be true until the digital age.

Maybe the change is an improvement. But maybe not.

And libraries are the epitome of what you’re fighting against. They are by definition works chosen by humans based on judgment calls of their perceived value.

Let’s at least acknowledge that blanket archive efforts are a fundamental change in themselves and a departure from the human status quo for thousands of years. Then let’s debate whether the change is an unabated good.

One of the reasons you seem to only get negative opinions along the lines of "really, really bad" is because "The way it's written is stylistically bad/unapproachable and an entirely different approach should probably be taken" is something that takes a few hours to diffuse into something useful, and not something most people really receive in a way that's productive. It takes a lot more effort to give truly constructive, workable criticism than expressing any sort of opinion, negative or positive.

So, copyright conditions are apparently another silent killer [1].

A website can be archived, vanish from the web, and then vanish from the archive for technical copyright reasons (new owner's robot.txt file on the root). So "archiving the archive" might be useful. Or something.

Not only that, but I also wonder if we're overestimating the value of keeping all of this data around. Who's going to have the time to search and curate these mountains of information when we're generating tons more of it every day? I imagine the ideal goal is to allow future historians to learn about our past selves, but I think there's a tipping point where only those with lots of resources can afford to meaningfully consume it. Those typically are wealthy companies or individuals, and I'm generally less excited about what do with our information.

Obviously there's value in archiving some information, but a save all or even same most approach starts sounding a little hoarder-ish. Sure you might one day make use of that 1997 November TV guide, but chances are you won't and in the meantime you're paying the opportunity cost of storing it.

Maybe we need to take a page from Marie Kondo and only keep that which sparks joy and learn to let go of the rest. There's a chance someone will need a bit of info that no longer exists, but we'll probably be ok.

Not op but I think QR codes are great and here to stay. They might not be the most efficient or ideal on a technical level, but they are very intuitive with basically universal mindshare. People understand the concept of scanning barcodes.
Full disclosure: Google employee

As an engineer that's written a lot of (old-skool) JS, Java, Obj-C, C++, and PHP, it is a real pleasure to develop web frontends with Dart.

Immutable Data Structures: Not out-of-the-box but we use the BuiltValue[0]/BuiltCollection[1] libraries extensively internally
Functional Programming: Dart's Iterable[2] and Stream[3] classes have all the standard higher-order functions, like map, filter/where, reduce, fold, etc.
Type System: With Dart 2.0[4], the type system is really great. Expressive with good type-inference, support for generic types, mixins, & typedefs. It's actually better than Java, IMO.

Also, the async story is fantastic! JS has caught up with Dart in some areas recently but Futures, Streams, async/await, & async*/yield, have long been first-class members of the Dart language.[5]

Some ideas (in no particular order):

1. Start lifting weights and training Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

2. Join a Toastmasters chapter and start doing as many public talks as you can.

3. Go to all the various events you can, that involve mingling and talking with people... yes, it will be painful at first, but condition yourself to get used to it. Go to the various "mixers" put on by the local Chamber of Commerce, and similar events. Or just all kind of Meetups that might interest you.

4. Hang out with other sales people and model their behavior.

5. It's maybe a bit extreme, but you could try "rejection therapy".[1]

6. It's a bit "out there", but honestly, one of the things that did wonders for my self-confidence and assertiveness was the time I spent as a volunteer firefighter. When you put yourself in an environment where you routinely deal with literal "life and death" situations, it's hard not to develop a more stoic / detached mindset, and to learn a "feel the fear and do it anyway" approach.

7. On a related note, there are a bunch of books on this topic, including one titled "Feel The Fear, And Do It Anyway" (by Susan Jeffers). I have it, skimmed a little bit of it, but never actually read it. It came highly recommended though, so it might be worth a look.

8. It's become a bit of a fad lately, which makes me hesitant to mention it, but the Stoic philosophy has some appeal that might be relevant to you. Reading some classic, or contemporary, works on Stoicism might be worthwhile.

9. Read and study as much material on sales techniques / strategy as you can. I have found that in some contexts (like my firefighting days) confidence derives directly from training and the associated knowledge. Crawling inside a burning house is scary, but it's less scary when you know how your protective equipment works, when you understand how to recognize potential signs of an imminent flashover, when you know you can always follow the hoseline back out if you get lost, etc., etc. Know your techniques and tactics extremely well, and you should find it easier to be more confident.

Red Hat sort of did that when they had their IPO. They allowed contributors to the open source they used to buy Red Hat shares during their IPO at the IPO price.

They were remarkably generous in who they considered to be a contributor for this. For example, I found a bug in trn that caused it to trash .newsrc files on Red Hat. I spent about 30 minutes figuring out what was going on, and submitted a patch to Red Hat to fix it. It was a very simple patch, merely changing a declaration of one variable from char to unsigned int [1].

This was enough for Red Hat to classify me as a contributor and invite me to participate in the IPO. I bought $2000 worth of their stock at the IPO price on the morning of the IPO, and sold it that afternoon for $9000.

[1] There was some function or macro that given a character returned a set of flags indicating if the character was upper case, lower case, numeric, etc., and apparently on all other systems the flags that trn cared about where in the lower 8 bits, and so storing the flags in a char worked. On the then newest Red Hat, that was not true.

It’s a lot easier and safer to scale hosts horizontally than vertically. You can predict the limits and behavior of each host, the VMs/processes on each host don’t need to deal with fundamental resources changing, etc. For services I own that are high availability, require GC tuning, etc., these hosts with dynamic resource adjustments (also T2/T3 in AWS) are a nightmare because the behavior can change at runtime under load, exactly when I want it to behave predictably.

I'm not a fan of manual inefficiencies of AWS's Reserved Pricing but at least their pricing is clear.

I see all these different prices being floated around but I'm still not clear on how much GCP's compute cost for the most popular scenario of running a website 24/7 would be.

It looks like AWS's t3.large may be the most comparable with 2x VCPU/8GB RAM which costs $426 for 12 months / $35.50 month.

Or for m5.large (2x VCPU/8GB RAM) the cost is $501 for 12 months / $41.75 month.

What would the n1-std-2 and e2-std-2 compute cost for 12 months be?

The goal is to appear to be a "integrative" bargainer, while actually bargaining for your own position. There is no "1 size fits all" negotiation strategy, and while I appreciate the article for what its attempting to do, going into a negotiation with the intent on making everyone happy is likely going to end with you being the unhappy one.

This is why when you buy a car, (In the US anyway) you usually "negotiate" with a sales person, who will be running to a back office to relay the negotiation with the manager who is actually the decision maker. The sales person will attempt to (or sometimes even genuinely try) to be the "integrative" negotiator while the manager will act as the adversarial negotiator in the process. This can actually work in your favor on occasion, as I've had a great deal of success by understanding the mechanics of the process, and leveraging the sales persons desire to sell the car against the managers desire to make the dealership (more) money. (Usually by establishing myself as a serious buyer, walking away from a bad deal and then getting a call ~3 days later when someone needs to hit their monthly/quarterly number)
Yep, that's a way away from ideal.

You're unlucky, there are a lot of software teams out there where the developers are pretty much autonomous. That's not to say they do absolutely whatever they want, but micromanagement is usually out of the question.

A couple of months ago I spent about half my working hours in a week watching everything that happened at .Net Conf. I didn't ask anyone, I just said I was taking training time and since I don't take much no-one cared.

If I was in your position, I'd take this as a sign that there are better places to work. Wait out your current job until it's adding value to your CV (few good projects and contributions you can talk about), then move out. You'll get more money, and you'll probably have a better idea of what to look for.
Have you ever sat on a board?

Employees at a company might be engaging in petty rivalries in a "cesspool"... but the board of directors is composed of extremely professional, educated and informed investors.

Also, the board primarily represents not the small independent investor, but the majority of shares which are owned by professional institutional investors, which have quite the clue and are extremely well-informed -- they have entire teams of research analysts.

The comment you responded to does accurately represent how corporate boards work, if you actually bothered to "observe any company" in reality -- specifically publicly traded ones.
The usefulness of this depends on how you want to solve the problem at hand. One approach to programming is to create a DSL for the problem domain and then solve the problem using that DSL. Languages (such as Common Lisp) that include advanced means of metaprogramming are perfect from this perspective. Otherwise, one has to create an API to approximate the DSL - which could be rather hairy, so one may try to manage the complexity of this particular representation by either using a preprocessor or even, as an extreme measure, by writing a separate language processor (compiler or interpreter) for the DSL.
Still a very IDE-dependent and tooling-heavy language.
