The first time I saw this in Angular's material implementation I was completely floored: https://material.angular.io/components/dialog/overview#shari...

The method for passing data to a dialog component is to import a magic constant and inject a data field into it's constructor? It's a completely over-engineered, nonsensical solution for a problem that doesn't even exist in React. There's so much stuff you have to be familiar with in Angular just to build the simplest features.
>a self-help group for narcissists

While this sounds like a comedy I would think that the group would dissolve early since everyone would think everyone else is a loser. The best outcome would be that the members would realize that everyone only talks about themselves and nobody listens to them except to trump or talk over another's story. That would be an interesting ah-hah moment.

You actually see this in real life in some kinds of support groups. There are plenty of folks who had something tragic in their life but want to continue reliving it b/c they have narcissistic traits. My wife says that she wants to be in these groups because they are the only people who understand but all I see are groups with a few narcissists. The groups continue usually because there are enough empathetic folks involved to keep the narcissists entertained. The only solution I see is for a strong group leader to force the group to listen and try to practice empathy.
Thank him! Even if a lot of time has passed. Better late than never totally applies here.

If he didn't remember you before, he'll remember you after. I've given thousands of semi strangers advice in various forms. I remember the two or three who followed up with me and said, "thank you for your advice, I followed it and have since reached my goal," and have kept in touch with them. It makes you feel really good to hear that.
What, no mention about glass being an even more viscous liquid? I grew up believing the story about medieval church windows being thicker at the bottom because the glass had flowed downward over a period of centuries. It turns out that medieval windows are indeed thicker at the bottom but the part about glass being a "slow liquid" was wrong:

These windows are thicker at the bottom owing to the production process. Back during medieval times, a lump of molten glass was rolled, expanded, and flattened before being spun into a disc and cut into panes. These sheets were thicker around the edges and installed such that the heavier side was at the bottom.[1]

No codec is “ubiquitous” until it is.
I mean, there are third-party review websites where you plug in shows you've watched and it recommends new ones, even showing you on which services they're available.

I just doubt people actually care so much that they use them. It's a minor nice-to-have feature. But the law of triviality will suggest that everyone will argue about it every time Netflix comes up, and we do, even though I doubt we really care.

I don't think it's any more useful than searching "best $genre $year" when you're looking for new things to watch.

That measure explicitly measures perception of corruption, not actual corruption.

A low rating could just mwan high corruption covered by effective propaganda directed at the masses that lack the means to meaningfully engage in corruption.
I wholly agree. I’ve been programming for about 20 years professionally and I’ve always been juggling too many hobbies to count until I stumbled on one to two that stayed. About 10 years ago I started to paint and draw and that gave me so much satisfaction and filled a whole in my life that to this day I continue to do this almost daily. I’ve had epiphanies, realizations or simply enjoyed quietly how drawings unravelled in front of me. I have learned and perfected the craft over the years and even though the ‘stream of creativity’ continues to this day I am happy this is just a hobby. I would not like to deal with the art world in any way. I think that if I went to art school I’d be quietly pursue computer science or computers or something like that. Hobbies have the potential to be something in which you have complete freedom and don’t need to justify to anyone or compete with anyone.

Many early heavy metal bands became famous in the Soviet / Eastern bloc.

For instance Uriah Heep, while moderately successful in the UK, they were and still huge in Balkans, Germany, Japan, elsewhere.

In December 1987 they became the first ever Western rock band to play in the Soviet Union.

You have a looser definition of "to use" than me. Let's agree to disagree.
That's part of it but to be honest if they hadn't Angular would have died completely.

Choice of delivery restaurants is much higher though.

Previously (outside of NYC and other major metro areas) your choices for easy delivery were pizza and.... pizza. Everywhere else either didn't offer delivery, or it was offered on a very ad hoc basis (one employee who might be able to deliver for very large orders, and you had to ring the store, and pay in cash).

Now the majority of restaurants offer delivery, it costs a lot more than domino's pizza but no one cares.

I agree with your comment and particularly this part:

> It will no longer be about you. It will all be about your team. Make sure you create a great team, nurture them, train them, teach them how to think critically (in doing so yourself).

When I had a TL job, I basically relearned the word "team" during my very first weeks. It was an amazing experience.
we need new processes, languages and tooling to make software provably correct

This is so not true.

Processes? Like T-CMM/TSM, FAA-iCMM, ISO 90003, TCSEC, TSP, etc., etc.?
Languages? Like Ada, MISRA, Modula-2/IEC1131, Cyclone, etc., etc.?
Tools? Like FRAMA-C, MALPAS, SPADE, SPARK, TLA+, etc., etc.?

The simple fact of the matter is that we've had all the processes, languages & tools to write high-reliability, secure code for decades. Go check out the CMU SEI for how long that one institution has been trying to get people to do the right thing.

The joke is that the software industry by and large wants to pretend we don't, and claim that there's some magical new tech that needs to get invented and when it arrives everyone will jump on it and suddenly software bugs will be a thing of the past. And every new tool, tech or whatever that shows up re-proves some unpleasant basic facts: writing secure, provable, reliable code is time consuming, usually difficult, which translates to relatively expensive. And the software industry doesn't want to hear that, or invest in it, and excuses it's miserable security record with "it's not us, the tech doesn't exist to do the job right".

As a sidenote, this is why I have a visceral distaste for the Rust people (the language seems fine). If they'd spent those (presumedly) thousands of man years building on and improving Ada instead of being all NIH averse we'd be much further down the road. They could have participated in the process and gotten their wish list included in the Ada-2012 standard and built on 35+ years of experience. But, hey, it's more fun to start from scratch every decade or so.

How is this different than surge pricing? Sounds like a marketing change and maybe a new option to not pay surge pricing in exchange for a longer wait (like traditional taxis)?

At the beginning, surge rates of 3x-10x were common at busy times. I don’t even think surge had a limit initially.
Wouldn't that argument extend to any company that might get bought?

Anywhere?

I'm glad for the honest writeup of Cockroach. I like CockroachDB, and hope they continue it in the future, but the performance and backup capabilities are something to consider. Still, I'd rather deploy it to Kubernetes whenever I can over Postgres to ensure that I can do rolling upgrades and whatever else. At least the Helm chart they provide lets you use Cert Manager with it, so the TLS isn't as much of a pain.
Its about as useful as sending a politician an email. Technically the option exists but its not of much use.
This is particularly bad in the food/recipe space. I've wondered if it's for SEO or if it's to stretch the content length of a short recipe and allow more spots for ads.

About ~10 years ago, before the Facebook IPO, Facebook was famous for recruiting alumni from other AANG companies, who re-did their old projects at Facebook. For a few years, everyone from industry who interviewed at Facebook got a vibe of "wow, this is like my old company but you fixed the crap that annoyed me!"

One of those things they fixed was that they gave feedback on interviews.

The tale of the tape says that this strategy worked very well for Facebook hiring and business growth.
Basic morality? Do you consider yourself a good person? Do you do the right thing, even when nobody is forcing you to? Do you steal when nobody is looking?

And yes, corporations aren't people, corporations don't have morality, I've heard all those excuses. Those corporations are comprised of people and those people should not be held to a lower standard.
This is awesome (both the idea and the writeup) but I missed the bit about object recognition? It must have been necessary to detect and extract the rectangle representing the TV screen from the captured webcam image (even if the framing/positioning of the webcam were perfect, most webcams are 4:3 aspect ratio), but was a skew transformed performed to correct for any perspective issues? Assuming such a transform were written, wouldn’t it have been trivial to throw up a white sheet of paper next to the tv and have that represent your neutral as a white point reference?
> group interview

Off. That's not a good look.
I have found good success with React + RxJS, in fact. They have some overlap, but with the benefit of interop outside React, and Rx is excellent at both message-passing-style events, as well as general-purpose "data binding".

And the total load is still in my perspective smaller than Angular. I have never even casually used Vue (I've since switched to gamedev as a profession), so I cannot comment on it, but from a cursory on its docs, it seems like a leaner Angular, which is good.
Normally type=“text/javascript” is strictly unnecessary. You should try to configure whatever is uploading your site to S3 to set the Content-Type correctly as I believe that will also resolve your issue.
Not even the most restrictive copyleft license hampers evaluation. You are literally free to do whatever you want with the program on your own hardware. Its only when you start redistributing that the license kicks in.
why Is the one outlier always used as an example? But even with that outlier it’s still not a great example. Amazon Retail is a low margin, low profit business. 75% of Amazon’s profit comes from AWS.

Unless you think that Uber is somehow going to pull a high margin non related business out some type of way, it’s really a horrible comparison.

> I seriously hope China can contain this.

I don't think there's any chance of that. I'm sure that within a month most well connected counties will have multiple cases with no apparent connection to China, and the realisation will have dawned that the cat is well and truly out of the bag.

My only hope is that the infection numbers in China are being massively under reported, i.e. because most carriers have very minor symptoms, and that therefore the mortality rate is not at bad as it currently seems.

But that's a bit of a long shot I fear.
>Likely the format with the best chance of overthrowing the jpg/gif/png incumbents is AVIF

I used to think the same as well, however I now think Jpeg XL is poised to be the 'winner' among next gen image codecs. It's royalty free, great lossy and lossless compression which is said to beat the competition, as well as providing a perfect upgrade path for existing jpeg's as it can losslessly recompress them into the jpeg XL format with a ~20% size decrease (courtesy of the PIK project).

It's slated for standardisation within a couple of weeks, it will be very interesting to see large-scale comparisons of this codec against the likes of AVIF and HEIF.
Would be a highly biased random source, only one drop was quicker.
I use UE more than I care to admit and while the prices can suck the only weirdness I've seen is people lie about riding bikes, a lot.

This is something I wish was used on the web. Imagine instead of creating a high compression image for use on a web page and then having a link for the full res one, you could just say "Load this image at 60%" and if users right click and save it would download the entire image.

Most improvements come from the more compact JavaScript we generate from a template.

We also worked on making the runtime tree-shakable, so in your final bundle you can get only what you use.

Additionally, we made sure the code we generate compresses well with popular algorithms.

He doesn’t have to remember your name because your name is besides the point - it’s about him and what he did (for you) and not about you (the beneficiary).

Above all else: listen.

Your job will no longer be primarily about creating good code, it will be about making it as easy as possible for everyone else on your team to do so.

Writing well is very important. I literally spend half my day writing: tickets, pull request comments, upstream status reports, explaining the cost/benefit of various options to project managers.

Get basic functionality locked down early and then build from there.

Don't micromanage tech decisions but do make it easy for people to be consistent with one another by providing a style guide.

If all you do is prevent a few foundationally stupid decisions from making their way into the project, you're already way ahead. [hint: most really stupid decisions are not actually any one person's conscious decision].

After all else: listen.
on the other side, we went from jquery messes with a bunch of state machine issues to being able to comfortably add client-side interactivity with a lot less worries when moving to Angular 1.x

There were definitely Angular-related issues, but they were replacing a lot of "my state machine is out of sync" issues that just scopes and watching mostly solve (except for the prototype inheritence gotcha)

9 major versions in ~7 years indicates that it's not remotely stable enough to be taken seriously, particularly for corporate stuff that will likely never get an upgrade. Even the "LTS" releases are only supported for 18 months.

React seems a bit better, but they don't seem to support older releases at all.
Math texts in French are easy to understand, as long as you learn a few unfamiliar words, like ‘lorsque,’ par exemple.
Narcissism is a trait and NPD or malignant narcissism is a disorder. The counter to "over confidence" is that PG and Altman suggest to give more equity with better terms to employees rather than not which suggests they aren't actually looking for narcissists. A narcissist would view everyone else as inferior and transactional. Maybe they have some criteria they use to try to weed out narcissists. I would imagine the YC network and organization itself would quickly route out a narcissist since they use a cohort model. In that a narcissist won't be able to listen or consider other viewpoints effectively and I imagine not being able to pivot when necessary is a narcissistic trait and obviously leads to the failure of the startup. I don't think a narcissist can survive the trough of disillusionment for long... but I could be mistaken.
I hope you never use it and your company fails. you are a disgusting normie.
I am in a somewhat unique position of interviewing and hiring for two completely different industries. Whether it’s true or not that no engineer has sued for constructive post-interview feedback, it’s unfortunately absolutely not possible to make the same claim for teachers/adjunct faculty.

That said and for both industries, it’s usually pretty clear who’s the litigious type (heck, they oftentimes go out of their way to make sure you know) and who’s not, and I feel like if someone came to interview in earnest and put an honest effort, they at least deserve some return of the gesture. But my time is worth something too, so I only bother if the person is within an order of magnitude of the skill set we are looking for (or clearly has the potential to be). If they can’t write a proper conditional statement, they’re not going to benefit from an explanation of how their code will also run into a pathological edge case in the GC.

Hmm, this seems dangerous or maybe unique to each individual.

In the past I've had low blood sugar issues (started shaking and got splitting headache) because I forgot to eat for 24h or so and worked long hours, it wasn't a nice experience and I most certainly wouldn't want to repeat that on purpose by fasting. In addition to that, I often "bonk" on longer bike rides (don't eat sufficiently) and do intensive cardio exercise 6 hours a week. I have a BMI around 22 (used to be lower but hey, I'm not getting any younger..).

So do you think this is something anyone can/should engage in? How do you decide if your body can safely engage in multiday fasting like that?

>It's not just one person that does this or we might could get the behavior to change.

Presuming you're not the only one who's experiencing this it seems like this could be surfaced to the entire team and some norms could be established around when it's appropriate to approach someone. E.g. "If they're wearing headphones then they don't want to be interrupted, so send an email/IM/whatever instead."
