> I live in San Francisco; what do I know about German Microsoft users?

You at least know they have tens of thousands of Office documents that no one but their creators can find when they need to reference them. ;-)
This is unclear to me. Can you explain what you mean in the context of my alternative example?
I'm so shocked at the positivity about Teams.

At my company we use it and there's a timeline to shut down Skype for Business in favour of it.

The app is incredibly slow, doesn't have tabs so if you're in a chat, then you want to reference a file you're making in the tools you have to click out of it.

Teams chats and 1 on 1 chats are another "web page" to load.

Clicks load as fast as my 1mbps internet connection in 2004

Skype for Business is still used for chat even though we're told by IT to transition because the app is so slow.

I just see it as crap clone that Microsoft coded together in a messy hurry to copy Slack, and then included it free in their Office subscriptions.

The conversations around using slack are that it's really expensive in comparison to free.

Why isn't that anticompetitive?
You're right, nothing wrong with it. No more than changing the name of all the nonsense gems and npm modules to something more semantic. However, I think the pushback is that this is the response to becoming "woke", and for those struggling with the issues facing PoCs, it feels like more corporate shallowness.
> blacklist/whitelist are now blocklist/allowlist and so on

We did that… and then a week later, got informed that “blocklist” is still racist because it “looks similar to blacklist” and now we need to do a second refactoring to change it to “denylist”
I stand corrected. Early reports were reporting that many were not able to obtain loans due to the fund being consumed. I’ll delete my comment.
It is hard to underestimate importance of the lack of competition in FAANG services.
The title was a little misleading earlier. They are only discontinuing their Unifi Video product, but all the camera hardware is still supported.

I have a Protect and several cameras deployed and I originally ran Unifi Video. I think the Protect product is much better but migrating from Unifi Video blows -- you can't move over your video archives.
If you agree with their premise that "some people might be made uncomfortable by the existing wording", surely removing it helps those people?

Is this the last remaining piece of racism in our society? No.
The biggest change is to change your mindset to "it's your job to enable the team to do the work vs you doing it." So, whenever you are thinking about doing X, think about how to enable your team to do X. This is not trying to be lethargic but working to make yourself redundant, which is the highest success for a leader, IMO.
So this like learns to tag things the way you do as you tag it?
> Can you guarantee ordering? Can you guarantee exactly once? How do you get transactional semantics? How do you handle cascading failures? It's all a bit overwhelming.

I don’t advocate DDD/microservices but if you absolutely must go down this road, Kafka Streams really neatly answers all these questions. Ben Stopford’s book[0] and blog posts[1] are really great if you want to know more.

> The concern is that there is no space to discuss the definition of "distasteful".

What do you mean by this? What kind of space is missing? Was that fact that being anti-war is distasteful something that was discussed and agreed upon in 2003, so that firing was alright?
It doesn't say "over it." It means it's the final revision. This is very common terminology among people who prepare documents like journalists, editors, public relations, etc...
I think PPP saved the economy. We can scapegoat and find problems. But don’t ignore what would have happened in its absence. Companies would reduce spending at the very least or go out of business at the worst. We would have entered a self reinforcing cycle of reduced spending and purchasing creating a depression.
Facebook Introduces Integrated Eye and Face Model for 3D Immersion
If the pandemic is expected to continue for many months, isn't it a bit premature to talk about current death rates as a metric for success? Given Sweden's 'herd immunity' plan, higher death rates at the beginning would seem to be a given. They didn't flatten their curve. But as they approach something like herd immunity, the number of possible carriers should plummet permanently (assuming immunity is a thing with COVID), and infections and deaths would permanently decline.

Nations which have held down infection numbers with shutdowns have, of course, flattened their curves. But they may well suffer from second/third waves which will hike up their total numbers.
This is actually my favorite thing about B&H, because I'll be impulsively browsing on a Friday night or Saturday online, and sure enough coming back one day later is enough to re-evaluate whether I did really need to have that gadget.

I also find it charming that they've managed to become a massive retailer while sticking to their religious values, although there are plenty of examples of that in other chains in the US that don't sit as well with me, personally (Chick-fil-A, Hobby Lobby, etc).
You think the phrase "males are not females" is problematic?
I'm not sure there have been polls about this exact issue, but I suspect most people either don't care, or as you say feel it's an easy win with no real downside aside from a small amount of effort.
> They have since back tracked and issued a blanket protection from audit for loans under $2M

anything I can read about that?
Doing some of that could get people into lots of trouble. Not sure if they could get them with wire fraud if it’s a physical check but at least financial fraud, impersonation, faking a signature, caching someone else’s check, etc...
This looks really cool! I love your quick video that shows how to use the product and build a great looking UI so quickly.

I'm guessing you guys use Liquid based on the curly braces? It looks like you have a pretty nice UI for manipulating the dynamic data, but if you're interested, my product helps people write Liquid: https://www.dropkiq.com/

Let me know if you're interested. Otherwise, best of luck with your product!
I worked for redhat in a past life and I recall having to do this for documentation back in 2003-2004 to comply with a California law[0] regarding vendors to the government.

It's been a long time but I'm pretty sure I remember changing "master/slave" to "primary/secondary" in a bunch of bind docs.

This. This is exactly what I was thinking as I was reading through these threads. Logged in just to upvote, but might as well say: "Thanks for being out there my thought-doppelganger!"
Wow, this community is terrible. It's good to see that the people who matter are more advanced: Wikipedia is also (finally) doing this, as I noticed today. And so is Github.

It's a renaming of mostly internal identifiers, a somewhat minor change for those implementing it, and a complete non-issue for anyone else. It doesn't matter if you are offended by the terms or not. Your opinion is somewhat irrelevant for once.

The logic of why people may feel offended by master/slave or white/blacklist is trivially obvious. One can have doubts about the intensity of it, but not the basic mechanism.

Additionally, this issue has grown in salience precisely because people opposed it.

Agitating against such changes is just as emotional as the proponents are accused of being, only the justification is far more transparently dishonest considering the relative ease of this change as outlined above.

People will invariably profess to be willing to help overcome the lingering effects of hundreds of years of slavery and continuing racism. But when they get the chance to do so, with the barest minimum effort, it's not going to happen.

Not because anyone is racist, of course. No, this is about ethics-in-datastructure-identifiers.

I have this setup as well. I put in a larger drive like you did and the product works pretty well. Sometimes the iOS app won't load correctly but it isn't clear if the problem is on my side or not.
This one kind of bothers me. Dark and light are concepts from long before written history and have nothing to do with humans even. Predators and bad things hunt in the dark, evil, etc.

There's really no benefit to meaningless conflations of human social problems with other things.

I agree with the other comment about assuaging white guilt; it doesn't help someone get hired, talk to the police, or find housing. Those are the issues we need to work on.

I think you are building a straw man from my comment instead of addressing the actual claim, my point is absolutely not about questioning whether the co-founders were relevant to the companies success.

My comment should be read as: I have seen the 40% figure given very often on HN and I did interpret it as 40% of Fortune 500 companies being founded only by first-generation immigrants.

To me someone who was born in a country and has citizenship in that particular country is not an immigrant.
This is an interesting use case (the delegation of subdomain). Sounds like something that can be built atop Amazon Route 53. Have you seen this need come up a lot?
Actually I would avoid peer to peer technology, as that takes a large group of peers to work well, and you can end up with practically orphaned content if it's not popular and there's no peers for it. Maybe the latter is a solved issue with new P2P networks, I haven't torrented in years.

The other part of avoiding peer to peer is to ensure there's money in it for hosting and advertising. I hate to be cynical, but for companies to play along and join in, there has to be money in it.
I had no problem running PicoRV32 at 50mhz (maybe higher... 75mhz? can't recall, at that point I had other issues that might not have been CPU related) on an Artix 7 35t.

Honestly instead of chasing after new 68k silicon it'd be better to just emulate on a modern processor. Not the same romance, I know....but
If the pushback were against corporate shallowness, you'd expect at least one comment would include a suggestion of what they could do instead.

But the comments here so far don't seem to do that, they seem to just be against this, with no alternative.

Why would anyone waste time complaining about this, especially BLM organizers?
Well, when people argue against BLM/M4BL I often hear calls to statistics. That's a potential bias of my own, but I don't think it's unreasonable to think about what metrics we might be able to use as indicators of whether cancel culture is created by an unsubstantiated bias that some folks have or if it might actually be a phenomenon that has a real impact on the way that the average person communicates.

Basically what I'm saying is that I personally don't feel or notice a lot of "cancel culture" within my own life, and I'm trying to better understand where people feel like it comes from. Data might not be necessary, but it might also make the impacts more clear. I'm just wondering about how to frame the issue in a way that makes sense to me.
Maybe the loans helped those businesses carry on despite drops in revenue, as intended. In that case, the unemployment line is shorter than it might have been. Neither of us know without seeing financials, but it’s important to acknowledge both possibilities.
It shouldn't be too hard to prove. Every time a company writes a payroll check the government knows exactly how much it was for and who got it. Seems like simple math.
How is this not kink shaming?

I'm not sure what you mean about recourse. If the employee isn't paid, the employer has to pay the money back, they don't get to keep it.
I completely disagree. Their code quality has gone down the tubes. The new UDM/UXG routers have 1/10th the functionality of the previous generation USG and have been buggy from the get-go including such basic functionality as not hard-locking when utilizing an SFP for your WAN ports.

The Unifi Protect software isn't even close to feature parity with Video and there's not even a hint that it will get there before they EOL Video. Their largest "hardware" option supports a whopping 4 hard drives and forces you to use RAID-5 across them.

No AI functionality to detect humans/animals/cars, it barely even qualifies as an NVR.

Blue Iris runs absolute circles around Protect and actually has a full feature set for less money and no hardware tie-in. Ubiquiti has been trying their hardest to jump the shark in 2020 and I'm getting closer to dropping them from my network entirely.
What is that supposed to mean?

I would never announce a financial problem or ever publicly announce employees let go. It would harm my contracts with vendors.
If it is effective and if it is that simple to implement, I’d agree with you.

My concern is that this is motivated by the politician’s fallacy.
Don't discount treatment methodologies. People who get the virus now are more likely to live than those who got it early, since health professionals are learning which treatments work. The area under the curve will not be the same if we buy time for our doctors and researchers to understand more about the virus and its effect on the body.

"I think PPP saved the economy."

I mean I am a functional programmer so i naturally make code pure until the edges anyway. In a functional language I will just replace the edge function call with a fake version.

But the problem with mocking, is you couple your objects to one another. You expect certain methods to be called. With certain parameters.

What if you want to add in extra layer, or remove a layer, or add a helper. All your tests have now been broken yet the overall behaviour has not changed.

You also have issues around mocks not acutally setup to behave like the real object.

If your object under test sends a null it may pass but the real thing may fail.

Instead create an architectural boundry with a clear public interface. Exercise the interfaces in tests and then check for results on the otherside of the boundary. You might do that with a mock or a fake.

You are now free to refactor from the start to finish of that architectural boundry without breaking tests.

This is just fancy talk for only testing your public API. But defining those boundries and public interfaces is where the skill is.

If your building a web app using hexagonal architecture, I might say drive your primary ports from your tests, mock and fake your secondary ports.

If you expect some group of objects to used in multiple places like a library I will test those as if they're a boundry to. For example If I've built money exchange rate module.
Most companies aren't exclusively comprised of developers.

If you were to somehow manage to convince exec or director level leadership to implement something like IRC as your main communication platform, I'm sure they'll be more than happy to let you be the person who's full time job becomes fielding helpdesk requests from non-technical users who are struggling to use IRC :)

Tools like Slack and Teams win because they're all-but-frictionless. One of the competitive edges that Teams has out of the gate is integration with an existing account that is tied to your entire workplace identity if you're in a Microsoft-heavy shop.

It's really easy to assume that things that are easy for us as devs are a "no brainer" for everyone else, but they really aren't. My parents recently had to begin using chat apps for work under COVID restrictions, and although both are plenty proficient at general computing, IRC configuration would be an absolute nightmare for them.

Not to mention the bigger issues of security, log preservation, HR compliance, or any other myriad things that a toy implementation of IRC wouldn't offer. What happens if you lose your backups? What happens if your server becomes compromised? What happens if an employee textually assaults another employee through DMs and you need to audit it? These are all very real questions that people ask, and are questions that Slack and Teams have very sleek answers for. It's not just emojis - it's letting someone else handle the headache of maintaining a critical piece of your communication infrastructure.
I have a friend who has a Verilog clone of the C64 VIC-II chip, which he has interfaced into a real C64 and it's running pretty much everything, demos, etc. even supports weird things like the lightpen.

I wonder if his project would fit the bill here... real VIC-II chips are dying all over the place and getting hard to find... manufactured ASICs to replace them could be a popular item....
I'm pleased you live in a country that is safe for cyclists with respectful drivers. I don't feel it is that way in the UK ;) - most people aren't terrible, but most don't consider cyclists to have the same rights to the road
I feel as though primary/secondary doesn't define the relationship properly.

I, for one, think this is all getting ridiculous now.
Then YouTube just downranks your teaser content and you end up effectively invisible.
males are not females is not a problematic statement. "all lives matter" certainly has a problematic history and "we should not be giving hormone blockers to children" brings up a pretty complex social issue for a lot of folks.
I think maybe a better question/support would be evidence that anybody besides corporate diversity teams have said this is a problem.

To be clear- I also think the terms are problematic and my company is also pushing for it. But I think it's worth asking whether we're speaking over actual black people. It does give off pretty heavy white guilt vibes.

Edit: I think a good example of this is the fact that my company is pushing for this change but still doesn't have a single black person at the VP+ levels. It's pandering, and distracting from the core problem.
This sounds terrible. Can you provide some recent sources including proof of the drivers motivations?
yes, but that requires some level of interest in, and active search for, information about bolsonaro. how many americans other than folks with connections to brazil (or thereabouts) would that be? relatively few, i'd wager.

wishing death without understanding is itself terrible, tyrannical actually. most americans don't have, or wish to seek, the context to make any definitive claims about a stranger, especially concerning death.
Probably, eventually.

Just today I've caught myself talking about black boxes, no skin off my nose and Chinese whispers, wondering if those are on a list somewhere or if they will be.

I'd say it all feels like papering over the cracks, but the paper isn't even covering the cracks.
No place in the US is left-dominant (this is true of most of Europe as well). There are right-dominant areas and centrist-dominant areas. Left discourse (think Chomsky) is extremely rare and almost never accepted in the media.
> Why should taxpayers have bailed out businesses that couldn’t keep employees on payroll though?

Because those same taxpayers voted in a government that prohibited many of those businesses from operating.

> There is no end in sight to either corona virus or the economic downturn, so it’s just throwing 8 weeks worth of taxpayer money into bad investments. What’s going to happen within 8 weeks to ensure these employees won’t just be let go again?

The purpose of the funds isn't to prevent future unemployment. It's to funnel funds to individuals who would otherwise be unemployed. The funds can only be used for payroll to be forgiven. So this is an unemployment payout by other means, in addition to the federal unemployment benefits that were expanded.
