That’s really hard to do in computing: both hardware and software have massive scaling effects which make it hard to survive in a low-volume business.

The physical keyboard was really nice but the rest of the phones just weren’t. If they’d shipped a WebKit browser earlier it might have helped but they really hit a hubris-assisted low point floundering for years right when Apple and even Google started executing very well.

The best case might have been a Microsoft acquisition and doubling down on enterprise integration and features like the really nice one they added for locking down your work account from your personal data on the phone.

> Reading through the crash test procedure, it is astounding how little attention is paid to pedestrians.

In the U.S. at least, pedestrian safety concerns mainly affect prescriptive legislation (i.e. no pop up headlights). Some countries and blocs have testing similar to crash tests, but I'm not really sure how effective something like that is: any meaningful standard would need to have exceptions for different categories of vehicle. Though honestly I can't see that much can be done about pedestrian safety once your vehicle is colliding with a human being.

> "Business people need real keyboards". This got them some mileage

While the keyboard was a sales win (or at least an attempted one) for the end users, their key USP for many corporates was more secure comms than other devices offered.

Then there were discussions about some government agencies wanting access, and talk of some being given access in some jurisdictions in some circumstances. I'm not sure how true that talk was, but it got some peoples hackles up significantly as it implied back doors existed in the system.

Then there was the infamous CEO interview walkout when a (related?) question about security was raised, which really left a bad image and killed a lot of hope the company may have had regarding getting the security reputation back. Losing that USP was, while far from the only factor, rather significant in BBs precipitous drop in popularity.
I gave up on Southwest when they told me they had no plans to even offer power at every row; and their Wifi is unusable for anything but the most bare minimal of browsing (emails don't even send)
> But while they might say they like those benefits, most people will choose the benefits of low density living,

This is heavily dependent on one's conditioning. I grew up in a late mid-century low density suburb - nothing like the exurban sprawl you see today, but still very far from walkable. I instinctively moved from that to high density older neighborhoods as an adult.

At least at the moment the trend tends to be towards demand for the benefits of increased density, as the culture has shifted to valuing experiences more than large (expensive-to-maintain) spaces.

However, with the old and still vibrant urban neighborhoods now priced out of reach for most, people who are seeking the benefits of urban living are attempting to densify first ring suburbs, which is leading to intergenerational conflicts in many suburban city halls.

> Not to mention the benefit of being able to segregate children into different schools by socioeconomic status, by restricting different incomes from living in the same school district via zoning laws requiring large lots and expensive properties, which also leads to unfeasible public transportation.

I agree that these factors are all present, and are usually enabled by planning and zoning rules, which often function as a replacement for the illegal racial neighborhood covenant system that used to be common in the US. IMO the current system is a shame, but I'm also aware that the system is working for the subset who can afford to exist on it's beneficial side, and those people tend to vote in local elections.
Hey all,

Keith here, founder and CEO of Standard Library (we made this <3). The problem we're focused on solving is simply -- building modern integration software is too difficult. (1) For professional engineers, it's mundane work nobody wants to do and (2) for non-developers, best-in-class integration tools that rely on visual workflows just don't cut sophisticated use cases for modern businesses, they often need some code.

Autocode solves these problems by providing an IDE that professional engineers can use to ship simple integrations in minutes and new (or "low code") devs can use to automatically generate API integration code without needing to know much to start with. We provide a ton of features: an API registry, API autocomplete, code generation, serverless hosting for your APIs, an in-browser execution engine for your workflows, observability + logging, complete revision history. It's kinda like Heroku and Zapier had a really, really ambitious child.

We've been at this, somewhat quietly, for four years and Autocode is what we're the most proud of to date. We've been very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with some of the best companies in the industry to support our vision -- Slack and Stripe have been investors since (nearly) day one. That said, we're a small team -- just five people -- and we still have a hell of a lot of work ahead of us. We would love thoughts and feedback!

You are just measuring initialization time. The global "C" locale used by printf is statically initialized. With constexpr that could be done in a C++ library if anybody cared. Runtime spent initializing might matter for startup in an embedded system, but they tend not to use cout much.

You could submit a PR constexpr-ing std::cout initialization.
Paving a Data Highway with Kafka Connect Ft. Liz Bennett [audio]
The developer tools still need a lot of performance work. Why does the UI crash or become unresponsive? The UI needs to be decoupled from whatever state is being managed by the tools and incrementally updated on whatever state changes. It doesn’t feel like that when using the tools as they get slower and slower the larger and more complex the application.

There doesn’t appear to be any notion of paging. A good example is the console. I should be able to have an infinite log, limited by my available memory. Under no circumstances should the tools crash or get slow when dealing with a large or complicated console output. It feels like that although I’m only viewing a few dozen lines of the console the entire buffer is rendered and then clipped out. The console and many other features get slower and slower the more data I’m working with. Expanding and inspecting an array with 100 items should be no different from inspecting a list with 50 million items. This is something that chrome devtools just works, so whatever they are doing Firefox just needs to copy that in order for the tools to be useable on anything other than trivial demo’s.

If the goal is to be able to develop UI’s in Firefox that can manage large datasets in the browser the devtools themselves need to be able to work with such data. Otherwise, what’s the point?

> Blackberry was really good at email

IIRC secure email was their USP to corporates.

> and didn't need to be reset as often as Windows Mobile ... I do remember the Blackberry taking a full two minutes to start up from a cold

That was true of Windows phones too, even the highish-end device I had for a fair while.

> Once other phones started handling email just as well

It wasn't that other devices did basic email less well, it was that they didn't make the same security claims. Once those security claims were in doubt (rightly or wrongly) other devices looked a lot less different in that regard so other factors became key to sales and the BB proposition was not as competitive in those areas. Once the "all the corporates use BB, so all the corporates use BB" bubble had broken, BB never recovered the mindshare they once had.
If you do work in progress (wip) branches where you're not concerned with breaking the build and then rewrite the history to not break the build after (counts as new commits) this becomes more viable.

Also encourages testing work to be formally coded and just done interactively. If a test is good enough to compile, commit it as work in progress even if it has a bug and/or incomplete if you've reached a good point you'll like to build upon. Make a tweak, compiles, commit it.

If you've spent most of your day writing a test, but it's complicated and will require even more work before you'd even try to compile and run, commit it WIP before going home.

but... dat time savings!

Seriously, I'm in a major metro area and my commute is considered "not bad" by local standards...

Working at an office costs me at least three hours a day:
- 30 minutes of "getting ready"

- 60 minutes of commute there, at rush hour

- 30 minutes of lunch (usually just grab a sandwich at home)

- 60 minute return commute at rush hour

Bonus Time Savings:

Popping on a headset and taking a walk around the neighborhood during low-participation conference calls and one-on-one discussions (I'm a manager). I can flip 30 - 60 minutes a day into "dual use" time (work + exercise)...

"Are you driving right now? We can reschedule to something more convenient for you? I don't want you to get pulled over."
What's really annoying to me is that we've been sold computer vision as the current solution, when it's obvious that if it is the eventual solution it's a long time out because our understanding of the field just isn't nearly as strong as it needs to be, but it's edged out a lot of interim solutions that could have been a lot safer, even if they have downsides.

For example, we could have embedded special markers (or spikes with RFID, or more active wireless, or any number of things that could have provided far more accurate lane detection as long as we were willing to require some up-front work to deploy it for special routes. Combined with very reliable lane detection and restricted to specific deployed areas where it could be tested, computer vision and/or radar/lidar for vehicle and large object detection (which would be mostly sufficient for most highway/freeway use) could likely provide a very safe system. The lower requirements for achieving safety might mean we could actually get some busses outfitted as well.

But that would require some actual state action, as no private company would (or should, if they were to keep it proprietary at least) deploy along large stretches of highway freeway. Covering I-5 from Northern California to Southern California would provide many opportunities, but be an enormous cost.

That's an interesting accident, but you editorialized a bit too much, and there wasn't a Southwest policy that was the issue. Southwest has more accidents on the west coast because 1) they serve that area and 2) smaller, urban airports have shorter runways that are next to cities.

i'd read somewhere that these kinds of developments became popular with developers (over indoor malls) because of their success in southern california in the past couple decades: the revitalization of third street promenade in santa monica and the success of the grove in LA (as well as irvine company developments in orange county).

to be honest, the grove always gives me the fakeness willies, like it's all facade and no substance (broken only when i walk into a store and it becomes real somehow).
Congratulations! One thing I would like to especially note is the cost of hosting. It is currently at $382. That's fantastic.

There many Show HN here that have domains that don't even resolve anymore. They spend a large chunk of their money on hosting and can't sustain it long enough. They have no choice but to stop paying for it.

You don't have to start with an expensive AWS instance and eat all your budget. Go with cheap yet excellent options like linode or digitalocean. Eventually when you meet those bottlenecks, move to more scalable solutions.

> There was a movie...

I'm pretty sure there is an early scene in the movie Solar Crisis[1] that plays out similarly to what you're describing. This movie was on one of the cable movie channels when I was growing up, so I got a higher-than-normal dose of it.

I don't remember a cow, though (but then this probably isn't the only sci-fi movie out there with such a scene). I think one of the characters first parked a motorcycle in the road, but the truck plowed through it. After that, they stood in the road instead, and that caused the truck to screech to a stop right in front of them, blasting a message on a PA about how they were breaking the law by impeding it.

Tangent: there is no such thing. You can weight a die, you cannot weight a coin.

Intuitively this should make sense because even if you made one side of the coin from lead and the other from balsa wood, all you are doing is changing the center of gravity of the coin. The coin spins about its center of gravity, not the geometric center of the coin, so this makes no difference.

Akkadian, not Sumerian was the language of international diplomacy in the period you speak of. Sennacherib came later in the Iron Age. And if the Egyptians needed cedar, they'd write to Byblos (which during the New Kingdom, was a tributary state more often than not), not Assyria.

I enjoy going into the office more. I simply miss the social aspect and the ability to chat about difficult problems in a break out space.

There’s definitely something to be said about the desire or dream of working from home and the reality of what your personality prefers.
