That's my point. It's not a useful concept when explaining the situation.
Thank you! Would love to learn your thoughts :)
I've found MVC annoying, but everyone goes "everyone else is doing it so we have to do it also". Lemming Syndrome. In team environments it's usually good to standardize "slots" for certain activities. But MVC doesn't fit our work-structure well (Conway's Law).

What's good for websites is not necessarily good for data-centric CRUD. MVC tries to cater to both, and does neither well because it has to compromise to make both camps happy.

I'd like to see, first, the file/folder location be flexible. If a team wants to store the view together with the model (or view-model) in entity folders, they can. Make the file look-up mechanism more flexible, or at least have a few templates to choose from. Our shop would prefer something like this:

Models
- model01.code // friendlier names not shown
- model02.code
- etc...
AreaX
- EntityY (folder)
- - ViewModel.code
- - View.code

Second, navigation (menus, URL's, and breadcrumbs) should probably be table-lized in the RDBMS so analysts and project managers can change paths and titles and perhaps even role assignments without re-coding. The "path math" of controllers is confusing and hard to debug. Put the damned tree(s) in tables instead so we can do nice reports and analysis of them without digging through verbose code. There was an anti-DB movement in the early 2010's that was wrong-headed in my opinion, so everything was shoved into app code instead. It's time to embrace DB's and use them again for what they are good at. We then wouldn't need controllers, at least not in everyday work.

Note: If I say something bad or wrong, please explain in a reply instead of give a hit-and-run negative score. I get better with clear feedback. Thank You.
Setting the record straight: Mark Slackmeyer operated a PDP-112 in July, 1972
I'm with you on the theory, up until your last statements - the vote to unionize was 46 to 37; 55% in favor with no breakdown in the roles means we can't be sure the dissenting voice wasn't the development staff.

It could be the support and community management roles (or any other 'soft skill' role which is less scalable and no less valuable but perceived as more easily replaced) carried the vote.
No evidence that you would (or should) be satisfied with, just direct personal experience as a member of the Teamsters (Local 284), years of indirect personal experience working in HVAC and building two homes (IBEW and Carpenters union) and many personal anecdotes from my brother (CWA) and wife (NEA).

My point is this. There are some common pathologies in the way unions tend to operate (or at least old unions that have ossified over time) in the US that have nothing to do with the underlying objectives of collective bargaining. This step for Kickstarter is a huge victory for organized labor in the USA and they are likely to receive aggressive input from other American labor unions as to how they should operate. In my opinion the employees at Kickstarter accept this input at their own peril. This shouldn't just be a new union, this should be a new type of union and one indicator of success would be strong objection to their charter from one or more existing unions in the US.

For the record I have no philosophical objection to unions or collective bargaining at all. I do have material concerns around how they tend to operate in the US.
I've heard it mentioned by an unreliable source that perhaps the Asian phenotype has more of a tendancy to succumb to the virus. I won't how true this is as the majority of the infections seem to be based in Asian countries so far. I wonder how strong the correlation is.
node-fetch above all, it's standard, and works in the browser https://github.com/node-fetch/node-fetch/blob/master/package...
It's also possible that some organizations have a high concentration of folks who have a particular viewpoint on unions, regardless of whether they're being treated poorly or not. For example, Vox's newsroom unionized, even though I would suppose that they are likely treated better than most journalists -- at least to the extent the business' economics allow. I'm not saying this is necessarily the case with Kickstarter, just that this strikes me as possible. I'm also not trying to imply any judgment for or against the move.
Right, people living in those countries will tell you that it's Central Europe. What other cultural/delineation is there?
I took a very dogmatic approach to ECS on a project[1][2] but I'm not sure it ended up easier to read or write as a result.

Event sourcing should kill MVC, we just need better frameworks to make it easier to do.
> One thing I've always wondered is who the heck is Martin Fowler and why does he have such a following?

You don't know the history of your craft; study more, look into where agile came from, the extreme programming movement, and who was involved and how refactoring became a thing. Names like Ward Cunningham, Kent Beck, Martin Fowler, Ron Jeffries, Rob Martin, and Dave Thomas should be familiar to anyone who knows their craft.
> Since it was invented however, new programming techniques have become popular. Without closures (or anonymous blocks) event binding can be very tedious; and without deferrables (also known as deferreds or promises) the idea of treating individual operations as objects in their own right doesn’t make much sense.

Didn't the Smalltalk team invent MVC? Because I believe Smalltalk in the 70s supported both.

it's not just code samples. i remember wwdc conferences at the time of ios3 where apple people used to officially say "we know it gets you worried, but having massive vc is actually just fine"
I have a Razor Nostromo too, and I remember at some point I discovered it was Belkin hardware (perhaps in the name of some driver). I believe Belkin licensed it to Razor.

I was gifted one because I asked for a separate keypad for gaming. Problem is, I am left-handed and the model I got is for normal people. Yet it was quite convenient, I have been using it for years, as testifies its poor state. A few years ago, some games couldn't handle keypad keys properly (facking normies...), so the fully configurable keys of the Nostromo did the trick. I simply couldn't use the directional pad and the other thumb operated buttons as-is (used them for rarely used stuff instead - it's still better than reaching out for the keyboard).

I did a EE CS double major a LONG time ago. Senior year included a real summonavitch VLSI course, where in Q1 we had to design a 16- or 32- bit CPU. Over Thanksgiving break, TI manufactured them for us. Q2, we built a computer. Q3, we made it bootable (OS) and C compiler. I was interviewing for jobs in Japan (school was in Terre Haute, so travel overhead!) and I thought I was going to die. But it was the best thing that ever happened to me...
>Somewhat obviously, I’ve seen some be successful with unions and others be successful without

From the company perspective maybe, but I've not seen a union in the US that successfully rewards high performing employees over mediocre lifers. Overachievers end up leaving and you're left with no innovation. Do you have any examples of unions that have solved this problem?
Zika. This is very much on a different level.
It’s all very simple.
Corporations are toxic.
Unions are good.
Punch all managers and rich people. Always Unionize. We’re all Unicorns. The end. Yay!
Perhaps to look at it the other way, those with the tools/mindset to haggle and negotiate and prepare for a top career will end up at a place that offers top benefits and top salaries.

Which means the places that don't offer top benefits, top salaries, or places that otherwise mistreat their workers, will, almost by definition, retain mostly a workforce of employees who are either not top talent or are bad at negotiation (or some variation of this - e.g. the video game industry has some great programmers who work with awful treatment & pay for one reason or another).

If you're in this poorly treated group, unionization looks great. If most of your workforce is in this group, then most of your workforce will be eyeballing unionization.
Interesting I've never had to dig into that, started working well after Y2K and the company I work at, as far as I see, properly converted any legacy XX years ages ago.

Is the switch date for RR fixed? Seems like there will be some weird breakage around 2050 as random places that have been skating by on using RR for old 2 digit years will be in trouble.
Does AWS have a comparable offering? I haven't seen anything on EPYC - congrats to GCP for moving quickly. I'm mostly AWS based currently.
OK.

My wife's medical workers union won her 5 weeks of vacation, free health insurance, someone advocating for reasonable hours who she could report abuses to without fear of repercussion, healthy food in the cafeteria, oh and she got a stipend to buy whatever computing devices she wanted. No one locked away her monitor cable or prevented her from working for a week so they could plug in a power strip. No armed union rep came to her door to force her to sign the paperwork or hand over the fees. Her union fees were like a couple hundred bucks a year or something, but her pay in that position was also higher than it would have been at any other hospital in the region.
It seems odd to imply that the mainstream media is the gold standard on accurate reporting of national political news.
If the library documentation isn't clear then that's a clear sign that whoever created it doesn't take quality seriously and you shouldn't use it in the first place. Of course sometimes there's no alternative so you just have to deal with it.
I once did an API integration with a very popular well known brokerage. When we asked for a test account for their API... well they didn't have a test environment, so they just gave us a real account with 10k dollars in it with instructions to be careful. The test account was something like "apitest11" and the password was like "11apitest". Did that money mysteriously get stolen? Yup! (Not by me definitely, but that account must have been shared with 15 or so people, with a trivial password if it had been an outsider)
Hi there. I appreciate the trouble you've taken to read our article and give your opinion on it.
I'm sorry you found it so tedious. I take note of your suggestions.
Still, I'm glad that at least you can understand the message and even more that you agree with it. We will try to improve in the future.
For years I thought I was terrible at sales.

Then one day I talked with a designer friend about what Reddit is and why I like it. He is in his 40s and had never heard of it. He then immediately said to me "Wtf are you saying you are great at sales!". Until that point I had never realized talking about stuff you love is actually pitching.
>I don't know how you can fail to see how an organised and unified workforce will always benefit all workers in a firm.

I don't know why you assume that unions = organized and unified workforce. It's like claiming that HOAs = organized and unified neighborhood.
These are VMs, the hosts have to run with these mitigations enabled.
Since people from Google Cloud are likely here, one thing I'd like to ask/talk about: are we getting too many options for compute? One of the great things about Google Cloud was that it was very easy to order. None of this "t2.large" where you'd have to look up how much memory and CPU that it has and potentially how many credits you're going to get per hour and such. I think Google Cloud is still easier, but it's getting harder to know what is the right direction.

For example, the N2D instances are basically the price of the N1 instances or even cheaper with committed-use discounts. Given that they provide 39% more performance, should the N1 instances be considered obsolete once the N2D exits beta? I know that there could be workloads that would be better on Intel than AMD, but it seems like there would be little reason to get an N1 instance once the N2D exits beta.

Likewise, the N2D has the basically same sustained-use price as the E2 instances (which only have the performance of N1 instances). What's the point of E2 instances if they're the same price? Shouldn't I be getting a discount given that Google can more efficiently use the resources?

It's great to see the improvements at Google Cloud. I'm glad to see lower-cost, high-performance options available. However, I guess I'm left wondering who is choosing what. I look at the pricing and think, "who would choose an N1 or N2 given the N2D?" Sure, there are people with specific requirements, but it seems like the N2D should be the default in my mind.

This might sound a bit like complaining, but I do love how I can just lookup memory and CPU pricing easily. Rather than having to remember name-mappings, I just choose from one of the families (N1, N2, E2, N2D) and can look at the memory and CPU pricing. It makes it really simple to understand what you're paying. It's just that as more families get added and Google varies how it applies sustained-use and committed-use discounts between the families, it becomes more difficult to choose between them.

For example, if I'm going for a 1-year commitment, should I go with an E2 at $10.03/vCPU or an N2D at $12.65/vCPU. The N2D should provide more performance than the 26% price increase, yes? Why can't I get an EPYC based E-series to really drive down costs?

Again, I want to reiterate that Google Cloud's simpler pricing is great, but complications have crept in. E2 machines don't get sustained-use discounts which means they're really only valuable if you're doing a yearly commitment or non-sustained-use. The only time N1 machines are cheaper is in sustained-use - they're the same price as Intel N2 machines if you're doing a yearly commitment or non-sustained-use. Without more guidance on performance differences between the N2D and N2, why should I ever use N2? I guess this is a bit of rambling to say, "keep an eye on pricing complexity - I don't like spending a lot of time thinking about optimizing costs".
Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the community what they want to do? Without taking time from the original maintainers
I mean this as politely as it can be meant. And, I'm not contributing this point to make a jab at you or your political ideology. I think you need to seek professional medical help. You're contributing "personal experiences" from 150 years ago. You're hand-waving domestic terrorism because it achieved a political end you agree with. You're accusing people of being "traitors" (a capital offense) for acknowledging the negative aspects of the union they were a member of.

At some point, you have spiraled out of control. You need to seek help. This is not a normal way to communicate with people.
There's a lot of travel within those regions, so can't say much, but one theory is the difference is ACE2 receptors amongst asians.
The Midwest used to just be the west, over two centuries ago. Then we continued expanding farther west and the name got revised. It does represent geographic reality; that reality is just now out of date.
As others say, one reason is that busts happen. I was reading the union contract for one of the local government unions (like you do…) the other day, and noticed they had a lot of provisions related to lay-offs. How much severance people get, how it's calculated, how it's decided who gets laid off, etc. This kind of thing would be very valuable if there's ever a tech bust.

The other thing is that not everyone experiences the supposed benefits of these careers. I talk to a lot of people who are exploited in the tech industry with long hours and salaries that aren't really that high for the high CoL we deal with. Talk to bootcamp graduates about their job experiences some time. PoC and women also report rampant discrimination—lower salaries for the same work, sexism, organizations providing cover and golden parachutes for harassers.

Finally, think of all the issues that we gripe about here on HN:

- Open office plans

- Horrible and overly-demanding hiring processes

- Lack of transparency or consistency around promotion processes and salaries

Fixing these types of issues are bread and butter for unions.
There is a useful daily updated dashboard that tracks all the cases, recoveries, death, geographical data and analytics about all that:

The whole point of the preceding paragraph is stating that china is absolutely willing to spill blood over Taiwan. We're asking if the US govt has enough political capital to fight a war against a country with an actual army over literally nothing at all. The US hasn't fought one of those since World War II, and it hasn't had a war with major casualties since Vietnam IRC?

China doesn't care if half its army comes back home in body bags. Their country is built on extreme nationalism and Taiwan going off script is an existential threat to their model. Could the US population tolerate a casualty rate much much higher than Vietnam, especially over an economic dispute?

Nobody is disputing the US would beat China in a war.

> All literature is subject to the bias you seem to think invalidates these peoples' right to determination.

You're clearly very passionate on this subject, though you appear to be arguing against claims that aren't being made.

First, your claim that oral tradition seems inefficient compared to writing is extremely hard to defend. The accuracy, scope, density, longevity, and reproducibility of written information has clear advantages over speech-based transmission.

Second, I don't see that sigstoat was claiming Australian aborigines have no right to determination. I read the observation at face value -- if you have two groups of people, both relying on oral tradition to pass on information necessary for survival, and only one group is around today -- this does not indicate that all oral tradition was effective, only that some subset / subgroup was. (Naturally this ignores OCP's.)

> "All lost knowledge is invalid, or else it would have persisted" is, essentially, an imperialist perspective.

Quoting something that wasn't actually said by the person you're responding is misleading.

In any case, no one is claiming this.

There's a regrettable abundance of 'knowledge' (literature, oral traditions, customs, etc) that have persisted across every society or culture, that by all rights should not have.
Let alone the United States, a country in which people delay healthcare until the latest possible moment to avoid the costs. This strategy is advantageous to the individual but disadvantageous to the group. The individual may survive without treatment, but without quarantine they proceed to infect those around them. Those around them may be in similar financial conditions.
1. you can still use a cookie if you really want to, or have it in your application state in memory for PWA, though a browser refresh will kill it.

2. Same for any authentication header or token

3. I'm not sure I see the problem

4. See 3, don't do it, use shorter lived tokens with a refresh if necessary.

5, see 4

6. Again, you could still use cookies, and longer lived, or state/revokation backed store... I don't do many SSR in practice, mostly PWA

7. That is absolutely an option... usually, I forward back with the token on the hash, then the first thing the app does is use the history api to pull it out and remove it from visibility... it does appear for a brief moment, but like anything else, you'd see it in devtools anyway.

I moved from PNC to SoFi a few months ago and I'm very happy with them. ATM fees everywhere are automatically reimbursed and their customer service is fantastic.

Make sure if you have a Virtual Wallet account with PNC to manually downgrade it to the lowest tier, and keep $500 in it until you're ready to close the account. It'll charge you $7/month otherwise, more if you're at a higher interest tier currently.
Where a service could be something external or just a library, module, class or function. I always think service is a bit of vague term describing a bunch of related functionality packaged in some reusable abstraction so you don’t need to reimplement this logic every time high up in your app.

But yes your comment makes sense. It also applies to the react world, where I have seen many apps with a ton of logic inside the lifecycle methods of react components. Lifecycle methods are the new controllers.
Basically. This is the best server processor.
>I don't know how you can fail to see how an organised and unified workforce will always benefit all workers in a firm.

Because historically it hasn't in the US. Unions end up implementing a seniority-based compensation/benefits scheme and there is nothing given to employees who outperform everyone else. This even fosters an environment where top performers are discouraged by their peers for "making everyone else look bad".

I'm always amazed that when people ask for dignity, respect and the ability to have agency in their own life, other people feel the need to put those people down, call them "spoiled" and assert that life is just fine for everyone, thank you.

What I usually can't figure out is "why". Do you own a company? Are you part of management? Do you think that life should stay as it is and not get better for everyone?
