In my academic field (computer science), people go to conferences because you have to present in person the research that you publish there. The question of whether traveling to the conference is worthwhile at all is irrelevant. With conferences moving online, the question starts to have some importance and the answer isn't so clear.
Not if the effect size is large. That would be proved in no time. The problem is so far all effect sizes are small, so it will take trials with large power (and longer term) to discern any positive benefit.
It depends on the application, should we limit text editors to 1000 lines?

Should you limit the files in a folder to some number because the ListWidget has a limit of 1000 ?

No, the solution is too use our brain and realize that you can open giant log files in a text editor , you can have a list with many items in, this problem were solved already the issue is that HTML was designed for documents not applications and the built-in lists or tables are not optimized at all, where a List widget or DataGrid Widget in other toolkits were optimized.

I am not expecting a developer to put some hard work to fix this in his app, browsers or frameworks should do this, I dislike the idea that pagination is good UX as an excuse for "pagination is the cheap solution"
One thing that needs consideration is that the state will be taking care of these employees either way.

> "If microservices are implemented incorrectly or used as a band-aid without addressing some of the root flaws in your system, you'll be unable to do new product development because you're drowning in the complexity."

Which is nearly verbatim what some of us have been telling you since before the term microservices was coined.

Coupling is the problem. Yes, microservices add friction to coupling, but they don't prevent it. Coupled microservices exist (boy howdy), and they're resource intensive, resistant to evolution, or both.

Uh ...

You'd rather Germany sink 10 billion Euros into an American company with barely any German jobs? Over 60k of those 130k are in Germany. If your plan is to cripple the economy, then yeah, absolutely, let all these companies fail and put all these people out of work for a situation that is in no way their fault and there's no feasible way for them to have prepared for such a drastic fall in revenue (for reference, their 2019 revenue was 36 billion Euros with a net income of 2bn).

Also, the value of Google and Facebook to society and the economy can seriously be questioned. They don't even pay taxes in Germany. They have zero benefit to the German economy.
I had asked a similar question before, and I think this ^ is exactly why they built Designer and Insomnia Core (the original) as separate products. Freedom of choice ftw!

My institution has been trying to bring people back in some format since day 1.

My institution also has an administration that isn't comfortable with only measuring results over actual physical time spent in seats during a project.

The bailouts that are happening now will increase the state debts, so no, they did not pay all of this in taxes already.
Right, but one kills directly and in much larger numbers. I think it's clear which is the bigger mortal threat.
And maybe we reduce the total amount of travel, which is crucial to reduce our carbon footprint. These airline bailouts are a huge missed opportunity.

From the limited data in the summary, it looks like the mean time to outcome (getting better) was decreased with drug treatment, but the 95% CI is pretty wide and includes "no effect" in the CI. Honestly, there isn't much data here to work with, so it's hard to know exactly what they saw. But, I believe that the last patient would have come off study a little over a week ago (from the summary and clinical trial criteria), so this is all moving very fast.

By buying up junk bonds the government props up irresponsible, mismanaged companies, which possibly spent money on stock buybacks and bonuses for executives, instead of product/service development.

The way to go is to protect workers during transition from one job to another by providing them with decent unemployment benefits, training, etc., not bail out lousy executives over and over.
Still learning, but the diff would be similar between VMs and Containers on Linux.

If you can accomplish what you want to build with frontend + firebase, then you've accomplished it! You can always fill out the backend skills later on. Firebase in particular is designed for rapid prototyping, "hackathon" style projects.

With that said, building a toy API with authenticated data (user registration and the like) will help you understand the various ins and outs and will give you a better understanding of what services like Firebase offer and what their value is.

Don't focus on premature optimization - by doing things in a naive way at first, you'll understand why various engineering practices became commonplace and you'll be able to more judiciously apply them instead of cargo culting.

Sadly, France and The Netherlands bailing out Air France and KLM last week, resp., forced the hand and diminished leverage for the German federal state I guess. I thought subsidies (to former state monopolies, of all things) was the one thing that need explicit consent under EU treaties. Now the people of DE, FR, and NL have to bail out a business that has no perspective to return a profit for the foreseeable future. Those who have protested against excessive air travel have to pay the bills long term (before coronavirus, flight shaming and "Fridays for Future" was a thing). I think this is a big missed opportunity to come up with a sustainable agenda to put a large electorate behind as a perspective out of the coronavirus economy crisis.

By American standards, it's not awful. There are very few legally mandated protections for employees.

2 weeks per year of service is also a typical value.

Healthcare is often not included, which is a real shit sandwich for the ex-employee. Their options are COBRA (basically, pick up the full tab for coverage on their own dime - employer usually pays >50% of the cost of a policy). Or, buy a plan on the ACA marketplace. Or, do without.
I thought the MCAS was to grandfather in pilots to be able to fly. Without it, the plain itself would still be certifiable; but pilots would need training before being allowed to fly it.
This entire situation is going to allow for a lot of, arguably, necessary house cleaning.

I think you're also going to see management at surviving businesses exploit the downturn to their advantage. Lots of rationalization as to why you won't see raises, why you'll need to work more to pick up the slack, lots of "be greatful" (there's some validity here), lots of pay/hour cuts, etc. that will likely perpetuate long after the crisis has rebounded and balance sheets are in the green again. Its funny how quickly businesses react to cut costs but are slow to react to shore up their current employees.

You're also going to see employers who lay-off yet justify continual hiring in this marketplace. Businesses will try to capture high quality labor talent at reduced costs (due to competition) and lock in those rates for awhile (hoping some will stay and be happy with modest raises on their significantly reduced labor rates).

One place I work with, management claims everything is fine and they've locked down all non-essential hiring, but I keep active monitoring on popular labor marketplaces for them and see continual updated advertising, even after they've claimed to stop hiring. Some of it's automated but I know for a fact a few places manually renewed listings intentionally. They're not locking hiring, they're looking for discounts right now because they know they're financially solid and will weather this storm just fine.

I love many aspects of technology but am really growing to hate industry practices to the point of looking at career changes.

Maybe that's not possible with current architectures or programming languages...

the problem is business/marketing imo

once you've made your sandwich making declaritive, safe, and predictable, business will always ask for a sandwich with some crazy requirement like "also dispenses ketchup at 2am" or "can also be used as a substitute for morning coffee"... things it was never intended to do

i feel the world of programming will never find a "one true way" and will always be a mess because our assumptions are always changing and never static (at least as long as we are chasing the next dollar at least)
It would be very unfair for Boeing to offer 1 week per year served if you leave voluntarily, and then revoke that payment if they forcibly lay you off.

At $OLD_TECH_CORPORATION_MAKING_DATABASES, we received one week per year served after being forced out, plus an additional "free month" of pay as well.

> Uber/airbnb/lyft were considered in the same tier as facebook/google before corona

So was wework by many. Facebook/google cannot be more different from uber/airbnb/lyft.

FB/G are in high margin business, operating largely in virtual space, where scaling to new markets has low marginal costs.

Uber/airbnb/lyft are in historically low margin, capital intensive space, where scaling to new markets has very high marginal costs. Same as wework is an office rental with an app, so is uber, a taxi with an app. App part is cool, and gives them meaningful advantage, but it's still a taxi business, and they were not able to change that.

As I get older, I still consider physical attractiveness of the people around me. But what I've noticed is that I 100% make fewer choices based on that physical attractiveness.

In my 20's, I was very likely to make a decision to work with or for someone if they are attractive. In my late 30's now, I am much more likely to only base it on the other person's ability and/or intelligence in a subject area.
Are you kidding. We citizen will earn money by that. Germany will borrow 10 billion with negative interest and invest in a solid company at a low point.

Now you can argue, that the flight sector will never recover, which I agree too, but that will not change anything. Lufthansa is a very solid airline. There will be hundreds of small airlines leaving the market with the Lufthansa to pick the market shares up.
I think informal social pressures are just as fallible as formal legal systems, a billionaire can donate everything to philanthropy where the philanthropy is controlled entirely by them - effectively subverting the point of philanthropy
I don't blame them, microservices requires discipline, careful planning, in depth monitoring and debugging capabilities and whole different mindset. Very few companies can implement it successfully.
- The tech companies having issues during covid-19 are all heavily invested in travel/transportation(Uber/Lyft/Airbnb etc).

- They also are in industries that entirely use gig workers with personal contact in 90% of their services(airbnb the least of these).

- I don't see other tech companies getting hit this hard(the sky is not falling!).

- I really, really hope these laid off engineers find other jobs quickly and land on their feet.

Thank you for sharing your experience. That's tough.. I can only wish you the best of luck, surviving and thriving.

Having tasted some of the bitter existence out there, it felt needlessly cruel. In a land of abundance, there's really no reasonable explanation for anybody going hungry, being without shelter, live in dilapidated conditions, fear one's neighbors, fall into irrecoverable debt for healthcare, or any of the million ways that poverty ruins people.

I've been down and out in the U.S., where whole neighborhoods were struggling. It's enough to drive one crazy. Much respect to those able to rise above (or just hang on) and still manage to keep their spirits up.

Mass media and journalism often feel way out of touch with the day-to-day realities on the streets. Much of the time they're in the business of shaping the public narrative, rather than giving people a voice or reporting the truth.
There are circumstances where they are equivalent, but they're very different overall. Namely, if you use a service, you update it once and see the new behavior everywhere. If you use a shared library, you have to update and redeploy every service. Libraries are strictly inferior in that scenario. This sounded, to me, like it was Segment's problem. They were updating shared libraries all over the place all the time.

I generally avoid creating shared libraries, they're a trap. They have a very narrow band of usefulness squeezed in between the more palatable solutions of creating new services or just copy & pasting code and allowing it to diverge for each different use-case.
I can't think of any reason one would remain motivated to work on OpenOfice. What could possibly be the point?
I remember back in 2005 or so Intel was dicking around with ipw3945 shipping a userspace regulatory blob. Linux kernel devs didn't like this, I guess wouldn't merge the driver. Intel rewrote the driver into iwlwifi (iwl3945) which just loaded a microcode out of the firmware directory.

However, the NDA compartmentalization issue would cause bugs. For instance, I guess the wifi microcode devs implemented hardware queuing but the intel kernel driver devs at the time didn't know this, so the driver devs just wrote their own queues in software and the users dealt with weird errors for some time because they literally couldn't ask the division that wrote the microcode how the hell it worked. I'm amazed anything with wifi works. For a time around then I just threw up my hands and used OpenBSD's reverse-engineered driver because it was more reliable and simple to understand.
Do you have any coding experience? The Odin Project is great but when I first started from absolute zero[1] it was a bit too much too soon. I switched to Colt Steele’s Web Dev Bootcamp for ~$15 on Udemy which gave me a really solid beginning and then went back and did The Odin Project curriculum.

Everyone is different of course but trying to install Git and use the command line before I even started the first lesson should have been my first clue that I needed just a little more of a foundation.

CherryTree has some cool features. It's great to have a little tree on the side, too.

Apps like these (and other less-open example is NoteCase Pro) used to be my primary tool for information organization. I eventually moved to "files and folders containing whatever media I need" along with desktop-level keyboard shortcuts and buttons for navigating them and scripts for managing various aspects. This had the advantage of helping me work with the grain of my file system, so integrating various third-party apps or scripts into my workflow became dead simple.

The centralized software package approach was always unique and interesting (still is) but was also either too difficult to migrate (de facto lock-in, even when export filters were included) or otherwise fell out of development / support across a 20 year timespan.

Occasionally I make a new web page when the level of depth or applicability warrants it. HTML documents have been surprisingly resilient when used as notebooks. Even just a set of hyperlinks practically becomes its own specialized app when organized toward a specific purpose.
Anyone long on Uber? I bought Uber at $23, only cause it was cheap. I can't justify owning it and now I'm thinking of selling it off. I do wonder though, is anyone long on Uber?

I don't see them winning the self driving car battle. Tesla / Google have better brands and better salaries, that probably would keep the best talent away from Uber.
And our middle-class is typically just a few, if not just one, paycheck away from abject poverty.
Nice logic, the only reality is that wall street tolerated being dumped on by employees in the theoretically high growth tech sector.

no voting rights, no dividends, create shares, dump on investors

the limits of this tolerance was pushed and pushed in the macro environment of there being nothing else to invest in

if share price goes up, profitability "just a few quarters away", the employee value proposition or executive handcuffs are not factored in

for a long time the "share price" trend of tech companies has not been important because a steady share price means that it is amazing that wall street tolerates being dumped on and keeps placing large enough bids to absorb the constant sell pressure from an open spigot of unlimited authorized shares to create. even a moderate down trend is okay since the employees are dumping shares monthly instead of stuck a long for the ride for at least a year. rising share prices just being icing on the cake.
The articles does mention depression at the very end but I kept finding myself thinking the same thing: that there's no use in not calling what you're describing by it's commonly accepted name. Generally I would say that feelings of this type that manifest over a period of time definitely qualify as clinical depression.
"New Terminal at Folder" does work if you right-click a folder... but NOT if you right-click the background of a Folder you already have open. That's the primary way I want to open Terminal.

But more importantly it's the UX difference between these two images:

You can definitely already launch applications and scripts in macOS via "Open With" or the "Services" submenus.

Service Station moves them to the top of your right-click menu, gives them icons, and lets you completely customize the menu including targeting menus to show for only very specific selected file types.

(Going anon for privacy reasons here) To add some anecdata: GitLab definitely deviates from the salaries they publicize at least in some cases.

I was reached out to about a role with #s that were way below market for my area. At the time they did not have any employees in my state and advertised one low-ish statewide salary.

When I mentioned the numbers were off-base for being in <one of the most expensive areas in my state>, they were quick to bump the salary by something like +50%.

Note that this was before doing any interviewing (though a GitLab recruiter had reached out to me first).
Haha. Really. NRW is bankrupt by now.
