I think the future will be in "low-code" rather than "no-code".

For example, Looker has LookerML which while it isn't full blown programming, it allows for a lot of customisation and far more complex use cases when compared with "no-code" alternatives like Tableau.

This guy spends $285 per month on his website and calls himself the smart blogger. Im aware renting a domain is $10 per year. I was talking about the infra to actually produce content with 20% of the convenience of a medium blog. Take the cost of lost opportunities in account and your first year blogging costs $10k.

On the contrary, Apple has served malware to far more users than Google despite having far fewer total users. https://blog.lookout.com/xcodeghost-apps

Apple also uses your GPS data to update its location service (for profit), and unlike Android offers no way to opt out — if you want to get your location on an iDevice, Apple will get it, too. If you want to do something crazy like write apps for your own device without having to reinstall weekly, you have to deanonymize yourself with payment.

Totally agree. Same goes for tech companies like Facebook (Instagram), YouTube (Google), etc
Sorry, the other replies to this are completely correct that you should know your audience and flashy demos might also be a turn-off. This was a fantastic technical demo, I simply work in graphics so am biased towards that.
> Is it that the open minded consumer is dying?

I'd bet the number of open-minded consumers, if anything, is growing and is bigger than it ever was. The problem is the number of not open-minded consumers is perhaps growing faster.

The usual "most people don't care" argument aside (which is debatable, IMO, but a tangential issue), consider the literature— a lot of this open world has been written, discussed and built for the english-speaking world. How can a user begin to care if they are never exposed to alternatives, or don't find the support they need in these communities due to language barriers. All of this is just my own guesswork, and I hope I'm wrong, but as the web grows worldwide, the percentage of open-minded consumers with knowledge of these alternatives will probably keep diminishing unless more active work is actively done in making it available to them.
Emojis are used in the same context as other text to communicate in the same fashion; they were being independently recreated in many technologies and there was direct value in standardising it across systems.
You can put a URL into an SMS message, but you can't put an anchor tag (link) which is comprised of [a hidden URL and visible link text]. The latter is the only one of these that benefits from the symbol in question, because the external nature of the hidden URL is disguised. The former doesn't benefit because the external nature of the URL is obvious.

Modern SMS readers will linkify the URL, but will set the visible text equal to the URL, so again it wouldn't benefit from the symbol.

This explanation mirrors the rejection rationale: you don't need a symbol to be a Unicode character if the document is already rich text; the symbol can be an image instead. If you have anchor tags, you probably also have image tags or CSS.
> I'm not sure if that post is a troll

It's not. I've had this idea for some time, and I'm absolutely serious.

We already grow human cells in culture. It's like growing an extremely delicate plant. The HeLa cell line is derived from Henrietta Lacks, and she's been dead for some time. There's nothing wrong with growing and manipulating cells like this. Eukaryotic cells are as brainless as prokaryotic ones. This is how we do basic research.

We create multicellular tissue cultures, often using the extracellular matrix from cadavers. Again, basic research. Nothing wrong, nobody hurt.

If you can grow a human body without a head and brain, how is that ethically different from a plant? Please explain it to me. As long as you guarantee the brain never develops, it's ethically cleaner than telling a white lie.

Personhood requires a brain. Period.

I don't believe in a soul. So that's not an issue either.

Next explain to me why we shouldn't do this, because headless clones will cut organ transplant waiting lists to zero and help us cure cancer, diabetes, and every other human disease that doesn't directly involve the brain.
> They also don't compare to baselines

This is certainly worth criticising

> they can still overfit to test data by running a lot of experiments with different hyperparameters, architectures and parts of the data, and only report what has worked.

but this is a different accusation from accidentally overfitting or leaking, i.e. it would mean that they're dishonest and cherrypicked their data in such a way that it hides overfitting and leakage. This criticism can be levelled at every ML paper, but in this case they detail their architecture, provide the code, and provide a Jupyter notebook to let people try it themselves.

> just assume they can trade at whatever price the data tells them. It's completely unrealistic.

I think that this is a fair assumption for highly liquid markets and relatively small trades, and if it's a fair assumption then all of your criticisms (slippage etc) don't apply to the extent that they'll break the approach. Also, if the approach works then trade size (fees aside) and being frontrun also wont apply because presumably large HFT firms can use it.

Overall I think your criticisms are valid, but imo they don't invalidate a promising approach, they're just the next thing to test.
yea building complex, polished apps using no-code tools is arguably more harder than just writing code and using frameworks. it's a different set of skills, albeit still a skill so i don't get why programmers are feeling threatened by it.
I honestly thought that was the case already (that highlighting is happening client side, and that my client receives each stream separately). So what you're saying is that currently a central server is performing the task of merging those 100 streams into a single stream for users. So it needs to do this separately for each user configuration of how they want to see the streams?

Yes, but a euphemism for what? Increase money supply without increasing the balance sheet of the Fed? Increase money supply by increasing the balance sheet of the Fed. These two might sound similar but they are worlds apart. One of them matches the physical process of printing money and the other one doesn't. Yet somehow in this HN submission "printing money" suddenly became a euphemism for both at the same time and the authors of the comments using the euphemism simply change the meaning to something convenient after the fact.

When you say "the page itself" can be visited outside the LAN, does that include the images and videos? If it doesn't, what's the use case?

Inside the LAN, when you visit the page over HTTPS the URL bar has a globally valid domain, right? So why do you even want the LAN machine to have a custom TLD, if that's going to be invisible to the user?

"Anyone remember when Netscape was a browser monopoly?"

I remember when Andreesen wanted to commercially license Netscape Navigator to companies.

I remember when Microsoft perceived the web as a threat and wanted to act as the gateway to it.

I remember when Google was just a search engine and had no
business model.

Perhaps the lesson is that there really is no money to be made from consumers, including corporations, for being the "gateway to the web". Rather, the money is in manipulating or selling out those consumers for the benefit of third parties. The money is to be made from third parties, not consumers. Whomever is the gateway is in the best position to do that.

I recommend a blog with your own URL (WordPress or Ghost). Then you can syndicate to Medium and Twitter with plugins. That way your content stays yours and you remain in control, while also getting the exposure from other platforms.
Another issue is environments. It is generally a good idea to have a non-prod database agains which to test new queries and changes. This is impossible with firebase/firestore without some hacks. In a previous job, we had two entirely separate firebase projects, one for dev and one for prod because it became untenable to test new database structure and changes against the prod DB.

Indeed, and conversely that's why to a researcher like me RE feels like the only branch of coding that actually achieves something (emotionally; intelectually I know of course that's not true).

I think it's very helpful that Musk has an actual goal to achieve with his companies, that isn't "raking in tons of money" or "seeing the stocks soar". Most companies seem to be the real-world equivalent of clicker games. Do $whatever to make money. Use that money to do $whatever faster and better to make money. Ad infinitum. What that $whatever is is immaterial.

I sometimes call these "toilet paper companies", i.e. companies that would happily pivot from whatever they're doing into selling toilet paper if they could make more money with it. But with TP being a quite sensitive topic these days, I guess I'll need to find a better analogy.
Passing unittests alone are irrelevant. There are other relevant metrics too.

[..] They had no clue how to calculate time complexity. No clue why provided unit tests were not enough and etc. [..]

This part makes the impression that you lack the pracmatic understanding of real world-coding. Testing to much, focusing on unimportant things, building to big and wasting to much time for worthless things.

In coding there are usually two type of people: tinkerer who get things done fast and dirty, and academics who slowly build shiny ivory-towers. Both have their legit space, but not every job fits both of them equal good.
This man told the truth!

They are zealously pushing the "ever increasing speeds" of questionable benefit for the user - what for? So that commuters could watch 8k 120fps video while on a bus? Or rather to gather all kind of sensor data in real-time, audio and video included, from their human oil wells? To strip off people's clothes with millimetre wave imaging?

But making it easy for people to run their own home/mobile servers, share and cooperate without govporate oversight is clearly not on their agenda.
The thing is that because of the 2nd law of thermodynamics, that energy does not go away when we use it. Moving muscles, pumping blood, etc uses energy and transforms it to heat. It's a bit weird that energy doesn't go away when we "use" it, but that's how the universe works :-) What can happen is that energy is locked up in chemical structures (or, I guess as physical potential energy). So if you evaporate water, the energy goes into the water and stays there until the vapour condenses. Things like that. But it's pretty easy to isolate a person and measure the amount of heat they produce (to a gross level like we are talking about here).

But, yes. Exercise will drive your metabolism and cause you to be warmer.
I love the multiplexing feature. We have a client who require password, ssh key and MFA. All services are behind a bastion host, which only accepts trafic from select IPs. SSH multiplexing and proxy configuration allows me to enter the password and TOTP just once instead of every time I need to access a service behind the bastion host.
You're talking as if he was frank but rude, or exprimed himself in crude words, "à la" Linus.

High executives being incisive, direct and sometimes not socially good enough is expected; only the best of the best manage to do that (one exemple in the tech world would be Gates). But being insulting and losing control is not.

But having been part of both the good and bad;
- It's ok to have little, or nothing, to talk about. Knowing that you have A place to talk to in case of anything is good.
- The ability to change something isn't what people think it is. Some things take years to change. Seed it early and be the driving factor in it, even if you have little to no power over the actual change itself.
- If it's yet another meeting, then it sounds like you are the one not using it correctly (not attacking here, correct me if I am wrong, but maybe have a talk with your manager about the structure of those, and don't just say you are not a fan of it, but propose a structure that you. like)

Yeah a lot of arguments are of the form "when Unicode can include the pile-of-poop-emoji, surely it should include <my favorite symbol>".

But the question is not if the icon is practical or silly, the question is if it makes sense as a Unicode character or should be handled at some other level like a GUI control or widget.

Should GUI icons, widgets and controls be covered by Unicode? That is a can of worms.

I understand the usefulness of the "external link" icon, but should it really be something you arbitrarily type into a text? Shouldn't it be part of the rendering of a link?

I have not, but what I have done, is get to a place where documentation is a “first class citizen” in my work.

I actually wrote an article about exactly that, fairly recently: https://medium.com/chrismarshallny/leaving-a-legacy-1c2ddb0c...

It’s a fairly long read, compared to most of my articles, but I feel that it’s an important topic.

My biggest issue with most modern tech writing, is that it is actually painful to read.

It may be 100% correct, and impart very important information, but if I can use it as a soporific, there’s a problem.

I find that writing in the vernacular, injecting personal anecdotes and [very carefully-chosen] humor and humanity into tech writing helps.

I write about extremely technical stuff; often walking through significant code trails, but I have had non-technical people praise my writing, and read the entire article.

Buy to let has been heavily discourages by changes to the tax system and stamp duties in the last few years, so this is an unreasonable characterisation.

Yes rent seeking activities are a serious problem and I think there's a consensus forming on this, at least in the UK.
Even so, it sounds like the US pandemic response was put in a worse place by that change, and that’s the real point. I’m not saying it was excellent before; they never had a chance to prove themselves.

This seems like a poor call. Shrinking staff and joining divisions together sounds like a easy way to get parts of your product that are unowned and unmaintained. When it comes to protecting against pandemics, I’m not sure the primary goal ought to be saving money.

You are right, having this one rule for all will not make a lot of sense. But I take it just as an example, in my place the nature of our team and work is such that this SLA can and is meet without any problems.
