The "move here" thing for me was confusing.

When showing near the folders, was the "move here" between folder 1 and folder 2 supposed to mean move the files into folder 1, folder 2, or literally just display the selected between the two folders? It was not clear to me.

I think this could benefit from tweaking the "move here" thing to be closer to the thing that it relates to (classic UX issue/design approach)

Look at Phabricator. It is way better than JIRA from what I've used, and it is open source.
There are also advantages. Given that you hire independent people who don’t need to be micromanaged. Spreading your dev ops team across time zones makes sure someone is almost always doing their normal daily work when something needs attention.
It also creates a two-shifts structure that is pretty good as long as you set up some short-form knowledge transfer at the end of day. We just post a short end of day standup post in slack

I think you're underestimating how much it costs to maintain a global, distributed application that has a lot of money running through it 24/7.

You'll need legal teams to write up you contracts/TOS, and keep them updated in the face of changing laws and regulations. Site reliability engineers to keep everything running, and dedicated development teams for bug fixes and unavoidable application changes (say you realize there's a bug exposing customer data, you need that fixed now, not whenever you can find a contractor). Don't forget phone support.

When you factor in the cost of running the delivery app, plus about $10-15 per hour to pay the driver, which has to account for driving to the restaurant and to the customer, I'm not sure how much cheaper food delivery can be. It's already a competitive marketplace, and there's even small, regional apps, but I haven't seen any that are significantly cheaper in general (excluding things like temporary specials, deals with a restaurant chain, etc...)

For some time I have been thinking about why it seems like scientific progress has slowed down compared to a century ago, and then one day I came across a clip of an interview with Professor Russell where he was saying that if technological progress continued at the current rate, then very soon humanity would drive itself extinct from the creation and use of weapons that were too powerful and too easily produced. I wonder if the slowing of scientific progress might be in some ways a saving grace, where if too advanced of technology was developed too quickly, then society would be unable to evolve in time to handle it responsibly without major potential for calamity.

Well, first I always answer with the truth. Whatever that is. And your answer (which seems like the truth for you) is totally acceptable.

By answering with the truth, you ensure that both you and the recruiter (or maybe an executive of a candidate company) are on the same page and you can safely proceed with spending both of your next 5y time together.

Now, whether you are confident enough about your answer or you think that you don't know, that's acceptable too. Knowing means that you found your purpose and you are actively going towards it.

For me, that was the case from a very early age (literally, I was 12 when I wrote my first app and decided that that was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life) up until my 30th birthday. The answer was this exact phrase: "I want to become a great software engineer that can work for a great company and build great things together. Part of that is the money because I know it's a higly-paid job. The other part is that I'm very passionate about it."

After my 30th birthday though, things changed. It's been two years now and while I succeeded in my 5y goal, now I don't really know where I'm heading to. I don't know where I want to be in 5y. I don't stress it though.

It all comes down to purpose I think. And short-term goals that serve that purpose.
Jira seems really poor out of the box for project tracking. Getting a quick high level view of where a project stands is difficult and requires dedication by project/product teams to maintain, which no one seems to do. I wish there was a better way to do work-breakdown structures, though I think some agile evangelists might say that's too "waterfall".
Choose a job title on the "technical ladder" at the far end of realistic, and say that you are aiming for that. "I want to be a Principal Engineer."

Given your preferences and job history, don't say that you want to be a manager, because interviewers will worry that you don't want to do hands-on work. (Of course, other candidates with a clear management path can talk about that.)

Showing respect to the technical ladder will get you bonus points, because executives really want employees to see it as a serious and equivalent alternative to the managerial ladder.

But aren't there like 2 dozen competing apps trying to do this? Shouldn't that drive prices down? Or is actually legitimately expensive to provide this service?

We've been told that evil VCs subsidize service to run at below cost to drive competitors out of business. Uber is often accused of this. Why aren't we seeing that phenomenon here? And Uber is literally one of the competitors.
The biggest one is repeated meetings to go over things with people who are not capable of written communication. It's particularly egregious now, when everyone is 100% remote.

It's not that much extra work to grab a few screenshots and write a paragraph or two. Then it also becomes permanent, and not ephemeral. Bonus points if you can take the extra minute to mark up a screenshot or draw a sketch.

None, because there isn’t such a requirement other western countries, except I think in a Italy and France during this emergency.

I have a hard time understanding what you've built (and don't have an Android device handy to test). The GIFs are jerky, and it's always hard to tell what is going on with touch interactions on screen recordings alone.

From what I can tell, this shows a few interactions for a multitouch file manager, where there is an explicit "selection mode" to reorder/move files; selection is preserved when navigating away from the current view. Additionally, interstitial affordances are revealed to facilitate rearrangement.

My main point of feedback would be to focus on the presentation - it is very hard to tell what is going on, and all I wrote I feel like I had to speculate to interpret. Explain clearly what problem you are solving, and why the current approaches haven't worked for you.

Btw I'm not sure what the claim of newness is; I have seen these interactions in other software in the past (but perhaps I am missing something).
Thanks, always enjoyed BR commentaries on history and modern perspectives.

They definitely are thriving. They will survive the lockdown, and it will help their market share. This always leads to monopolizing and later abuse of that monopoly position. We've got a beautiful history of labour movement, let's return to some earlier precedents.

In this world, your world, we have somehow become accepting of Amazon workers working in cages and peeing in bottles because they do not get sufficient breaks. A world where single mothers work three jobs to sustain their family.
The infection fatality rate for this virus is somewhere between 0.5% and 1%, heavily skewed to the oldest members of the population. This is most reflective of the chance that an infected person will actually die, if you don’t take age into account.

For younger people, the risk of death is quite low. In NYC, for example, IFR from ages 0-17 is 0, and for 18-44 is 0.019%. The hospitalization rates for those two age brackets are 0.02% and 0.2%, respectively.

Appreciate the suggestion, but becoming a landlord is an investment decision, and like all investment decisions it comes with risks and opportunity costs. It's an orthogonal issue to the fact that moving is actually more expensive when real estate prices rise even if you are already an owner.

I'm by no means an economist, but I think the same. I understand inflation to be the shifting reference point of purchasing power per unit of currency. So without an increase in pay for the lower class in the U.S., it actually prevents prices from moving up.
I'll buck the apologist trend here and mention that artists by and large are not technical people and are only concerned with the superficial pleasant appearance of pixel art, and not a faithful reproduction even assuming they were capable of understanding all of the optimization tricks that made pixel art technically beautiful.

Another example of laymen latching onto and ruining a "nice thing".
They are saying the exact opposite. They don't like assigning a moral judgement either way to a business that isn't hurting anyone. You were replying as if they had said that instead of something being bad, it was good. That is not the same thing. Treating something as neutral is not the same as saying something is an opposite.

>Vietnam was prepared because they, like Taiwan, knew from the start that China was lying and took proactive steps that western countries failed to take.

I keep seeing this nonsense repeated, but China reported cases very early on. https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/27-04-2020-who-timeline...

The only difference was that Vietnam and Taiwan took it seriously and prioritized people's lives over the economy. Meanwhile, Western governments largely chose to do the opposite. This is the exact same pattern we're seeing with climate change denial as well. The institutions are prioritizing short term profits while ignoring the science.

>I'm a geoscientist. The fact that climate dogma is righteous dogma doesn't mean it isn't dogma. You claim that none of us have the qualifications to question climate change, but somehow we are equipped to call "deniers" idiots?

Being a geoscintist does not make you a climatologist. It's amazing to me that people who are experts in one domain think that gives them the authority to talk about other domains.

I'm deferring to the domain experts PRECISELY because I know this knowledge is outside my area of expertise. I'm calling the deniers idiots because you seem to think that you know better than people actually studying the field. I'm sure you'd be pretty appalled if I started telling you my notions about how I think geoscience works based on my extensive computer science knowledge.

>And historic data tells us that even the most rapid historic climate changes happened over scales comparable to human lifespans.

That's because historically things like mass scale industrial production did not exist. Humans are not operating on geological time, and it's surreal that this has to be explained to somebody calling themselves a scientist.

>There's a grand irony here - once again, like the reopen controversy, the people have chosen the side of the majority of "scientists" and hunkered down, shaming others with worst case threats while ignoring that mitigation is also enormously expensive and pretending that anyone questioning the lockdown is a denier. Your dogma leaves no room for shades of gray.

All I can tel you is that US accounts for roughly a third of the deaths worldwide while the number of deaths and reported cases continues to grow exponentially. So, yeah this is a perfect analogy for climate change denial. In both cases business interests are prioritized over science with similar results.

>I'm out of room to explain for the billionth time so I'll keep it short - climate change is one of the softest of sciences because it is purely model and backtest driven.

Your capacity to deny facts is absolutely stunning. We're no longer talking about predictions here. We're talking about actual events that are happening around us. Sounds like people like you will continue denying there's a problem as you're boiled alive in your own juices.

>You put too much faith in modern institutions.

I'm doing the opposite of that. I believe scientists and experts in the domain over the idiots who think that we should risk the fate of humanity to keep the growth economy going.
His Twitter profile pic isn't helping either.
I don't think the poster used legality as the moral compass, rather, consumer choice was the moral compass.

If consumers lack the moral conciousness on their day to day transactions, then how can we expect them to make the right moral choices when they vote?

> Always seemed strange that you wouldn't want to break the strange-hold on "setting up your company where the talent/expense" is

Places that are economically successful cities aren't just talent centers. They have access to freshwater supplies, natural trade routes, and established infrastructure, not just local but the connections to trade, energy, etc. networks. And in many cases of in-demand locations, have climate and/or natural physical recreation sites that people want to be near.

Replacing these things or doing without them adds cost.
Also, alcohol will certainly leave your hands dry and cracked given prolonged contact.

(I used to refurbish old PCs and we used isopropyl alcohol liberally as a cleaner.)
The profit in a competitive market is usually ~5%. Double prices while selling out and profit increases by 21x if not vastly more which is a huge incentive. To the point where doubling the profit again is unlikely result in meaningfully increased production.

PS: And yea it’s more complex than that, you can generally skip out in advertising but may be paying significant overtime etc. But that’s rarely particularly important as there are so many inputs involved in ramping up production that you hit multiple different limits.
It’s a ruthlessly competitive business with single-digit margins. A restaurant that prices its services higher often becomes an ex-restaurant.
Since they've looked at my CV and see I generally leave companies after 3-4 years I am always surprised when I get this question.

Especially if they combine that with an earlier expression of my moving on from companies a lot.
It used to be that GitHub didn't support granular-enough permission scopes to do that.

I don't know if that's changed since I last looked into it.
I stopped using it for locals after it increased my mental load. The maintenance cost of const for all local variables is huge during refactor like you're fighting it just to get things done. And in most cases where the type of a variable matters I do have to glance around like when I need to remove a variable or change its type or refactor its dependent variables so const doesn't really for those cases.
About the source code, all I can really say is that's our aim at the moment - to have the same source compiled for both non-unikernel and UKL targets. Note that really what we're aiming for is to recompile common servers out of the box with no changes, or the minimal changes possible.

Performance benefits: In truth we're still measuring this, there is a very smart student at BU who is investigating this and coming up with results for a forthcoming paper which I don't want to preempt too much. Almost all applications should see a small benefit, say of the order of 5%, but it's hoped that some will see a much larger benefit, and that it should be possible to make modest modifications in order to enjoy large benefits (perhaps only compiler and linker flags and such like).

These are very much hopes rather than firm promises at the moment.

For years, my trick for finding interesting content was to go to, say, the 7th page of Google results, and start there. This doesn't work anymore -- it's SEO-optimised listicle blog posts all the way down.

My trick now is to use Twitter to discover interesting people, and follow them there. Granted, it's not a search engine, but it's at least given me the ability to discover weird things again.
The NYC data is the outlier. There may be contributing factors which are causing that 20,000 number to be inflated, not the least of which are the financial incentives for emergency funding for COVID diagnoses.
When _Preview_ 1.0 shipped in June last year people wrongly assumed that all the things missing were intentional and final and made of course a huge stink about it here and on Reddit.

Reality is much simpler: we have a small team and we want to do all the things, but we simply can't because it is a lot of work. So what you are seeing is incremental updates that get closer and closer to a fantastic product that we hope you will love and use on a daily basis. Great Web Extensions support is part of that. It always was. We just never had working code until recently.
