Yeah, the idea of DRY is simple, but it doesn't change the fact that you have to use your judgement, do and learn from mistakes etc. Nothing ever does.

I'd tweak your code example to this:

def drawHighlightingRectangle(someDecidingFactor1, someDecidingFactor2, x0, y0, x1, y1):
def highlight_color(factor1, factor2):
if factor1 == something && factor2 != somethingElse:
return "red"
else:
return "blue"

color = highlight_color(someDecidingFactor1, someDecidingFactor2)
drawRectangle(color, x0, y0, x1, y1)

This doesn't Repeat the drawRectangle() call.

Hello peeps !

I have released an early stage version of an idea I am working on, the Android app I shared is a PoC showcasing some basic functionality, I am not going to dive too deep into the app and the project right now, because I am interested in hearing unbiased feedback, let me know what you guys & girls think.
The issue is that there's no follow-up test, at the moment. The cancer is otherwise undetectable.

...and the test does not determine location, so it's impossible to treat even with a positive test.

So from a clinical standpoint it's nearly useless, except to schedule patients for more frequent traditional testing. ...the counter point is that the stress caused to a patient is probably not trivial, even from a physical health perspective.

...but from a scientific standpoint, it's awesome and well worth further study.
As someone who did yc in s09 and w19, it was very different. But, you get out what you put in, like most things. These generalized critiques are useless. B2b is thriving at yc because it’s easier and more in the wheelhouse of developers. If there were tech climbers there I didn’t meet them. There are so many people the useless are easy to avoid. We got 6 months of work done in 3 months and the bigger check vs 09 was very helpful.
>Finally, the overhead of creating and reviewing a design doc may not be compatible with prototyping and rapid iteration. However, most software projects do have a set of actually known problems. Subscribing to agile methodologies is not an excuse for not taking the time to get solutions to actually known problems right.

Here lies the biggest problem with the article. Most software projects _do not_ have a set of actually known problems. Agile exists precisely because it's hard to pin down what problems are, and you learn much more about your product with gradual experiments than with some grand, centralized design.

Unless you are totally certain about your solution, design documents don't have a place for most projects.
>Teams is not preinstalled with Windows; it's part of a suite of products.

Most businesses are buying that suite for Word/Excel. Teams comes along with it for free from their perspective. That can definitely be anti-competitive.

I agree that Slack's case is pretty weak here. It's hard to see the harm to the consumer when Microsoft's bundle is cheaper than Slack's lowest paid plan.
> Am I alone in thinking this is a ridiculous solution to replace traditional REST endpoints?

Consider implementing GraphQL over a REST-like API if you tick at least one box of:

- Your API has multiple consumers, not just one front-end.

- Your backend has a multiple, possibly heterogeneous providers, for example a set of different APIs.

- You need to decrease the frontend and backend coordination.

- You want to offload complexity or expressivity to the consumer.

---

An example of when not to use it IMO:

We ruled out GraphQL in a current/new project very early on, even though good libraries, tooling and knowledge was all there.

- The coordination is very high and unbureaucratic (small team of full-stack developers).

- single backend, single frontend

- We are very comfortable with SQL and don't need something to patch over an ORM or other scaffolding.

- We are iterating over a specification => the functionality is clear => we can choose where complexity resides. => we decided to keep the frontend simple and optimize on the backend.
Hustle Con
One funny thing about it is that it's not bundled with the Office suite the way Word, Excel, Powerpoint and sometimes Access are. Teams is part of your "Microsoft 365" subscription, which could include your rights to the Office suite, Exchange Online email service, etc. So within the ecosystem Teams isn't part of the Office package, it just works with it, sort of.

That's part of what makes the anti-competition claim hold true to me. If Teams were pushed as a first-class component of Office to paying users (maybe the way Groove was at one point) but not forced upon every user regardless, it might be different.
When those new servers you ordered arent delivered, you probably wont order more
>It will be challenging to for these "best of breed" apps (Dropbox, Slack, Zoom) to compete with the integrated offering from Microsoft.

It has always been. Windows has had Dropbox-like features all the way back to 1998; but they sucked (and there wasn't enough bandwidth...), so people didn't use them. We've had corporate IM offerings since forever, and Skype existed waaay before Zoom. The likes of Dropbox have thrived by focusing on building better products, more powerful and easier to use. There is space for everyone in the market, if they have the best product and/or the best timing.
i find it very hard to believe that Krebs would just randomly blame some person without credible evidence. just as i stated in my response to @invokestatic:

"this isn't some dude on twitter that no one listens to making a false statement, this is a credible and world renown journalist making a false statement."

Krebs would have a lot to lose if he didn't do his research and made stuff up for the sake of a story. i'm sorry but i personally think this is just a poor attempt at discrediting him.
Lets whip out Bayes' rule:

P(Having cancer given positive) = P(Positive given having cancer) * P(Having Cancer) / P(Having a Positive in general)

Lets say 1% true positive rate is a "useless test".

0.01 = 0.88 (Detection rate from paper) * X / 0.05 (inverse of specificity)

X = 0.0005

Incident rate of Stomach Cancer (most common) is 27,600 per year in US. The denominator for this fraction is iffy because there are a lot of biases on current detection rates. If we go ahead with "adults in the US" then the rate of cancer is 0.00014
[cite](https://www.cancer.org/cancer/stomach-cancer/about/key-stati...)

Basically, if we applied this test to all adults without other diagnostic factors. This would be worse than 1% true positive detection rate. I don't know about how effective intersecting with other diagnostic criteria would be on increasing the odds a patient actually have the disease and it might or might not still be useful after that.

This sort of study is mostly bullshit anyway. They took a relatively small pile of data, made a small classifier with high accuracy (maybe overtrained, maybe not) and really can't validate it.
I wouldn't be able to say. Probably more than I would like! I have been seeking opposing viewpoints since I read it, though (which is part of the reason I wrote my comment here), and none have yet been very convincing.
There is no realistic path to development based on renewables without setting global living standards significantly below current developed world living standards. Just look at the number of countries that are developing. Look at their populations, and assume 50% of those populations get to 50% of European levels of energy use. Now look at the transition to renewables. Also note that 50%+ of "renewables" in Europe is biomass, which is arguably not renewable and environmentally destructive.

The idea that developing countries can develop without increasing global demand for oil is a fairy tale, and impossible to believe by anyone who thinks about the issue for more than a few minutes. Admittedly, there are in theory possible paths that would avoid an increase in fossil fuel demand, but I have never seen someone bring them up when discussing this, nor have I even seen an understanding of the basic problems that need to be circumvented.
To be clear, the pre-funding obligation doesn't mean USPS must gradually fund the pension obligations for an employee as that employee works for them, as would be common in private enterprise. Instead the USPS is basically required to set aside the entire pension obligation, at the date of hire. No one else has to set aside millions of dollars the same day they hire someone.
the problem is with your word "preventable"

what you mean by "preventable" is "at a cost that we don't have a way to quantify", hence will call that cost "inconvenience" and only focus on what we have "prevented"

all these measures that we take will kill many times more people than the disease. It is just the new deaths and damage are a diffuse costs whereas the benefits are concentrated and visible.
I'm curious in what way microsoft would not be interested in having users not install office. I thought that office was microsofts primary revenue source (maybe this is info from before cloud stuff though).
Bingo!

> they are looking stuff up in their gut, ignoring all evidence, pushing a narrative based on a preconceived notion

It's obvious this is the case because their narrative hasn't changed despite so much changing and being proven wrong. There's no revising understanding based on evidence. It's defining your moral belief beforehand (e.g. anyone resistant to the draconian measures imposed by government is a misanthrope) and interpreting every development to support it.

Truth-seekers invite opposition, criticism and debate. I've seen none of that during the pandemic.

Any time I've seen people offer divergent arguments, it's met with the immediate response that disagreement is dangerous because "there's so much at stake".

It's all just the same politicizing, moral-superiority and demagoguery that's become far too common over the years.

I still remember the times that Microsoft was trying to own the WWW thru non-compatible Internet Explorer extensions. And, also, the time that Microsoft tried to own Java by adding Microsoft extensions to it. (https://www.cnet.com/news/sun-microsoft-settle-java-suit/)

Companies have many incentives to create lock-in software and proprietary protocols that go against the interest of their own users.
Even if they were both open standards it wouldn't affect this. The issue here is pricing, and specifically bundling. There's no way anyone can compete fairly when Teams is bundled with a seperate monopoly product.

Never been to the US or Costco, so can't comment on the quality there.

But no matter how your international impression of Aldi and Lidl is, in Germany a few (or a lot) of their products are exactly that, rebranded versions of stuff that would cost 50% more if it had the original packaging, in another supermarket.
Ask HN: Is all of FAANG like this?
This last year I finally landed a SDE job at a FAANG company! However, I'm considering quitting because I am not happy.

The good: I get paid better than my last jobs. I can browse internal resources to satisfy my curiosity about how things work.

The bad: Basically no work gets done and there's no motivation to do any.

The dev tools, docs and tech debt impart such a slow iteration speed that even when I am working a full 8 hours, only a few very small changes get done, yet somehow this is even more than most of the rest of my team can muster during an entire week.

Because of this, I normally work about one day trickle out my changes during the the week. The other days I only open my computer for standup and if I get an IM. As far as I can tell, if I can be just barely the best on the team by doing there's nothing the company will offer me to work harder. If I get asked about why it takes long to make a simple change I can point to the environment and shrug my shoulders. Of course, it's possible the rest of the team is doing that too, but I have no way of knowing.

This amounts to a glacial development pace and when I look back at the progress made since I joined and estimate the cost to the company (salary, servers, etc) it's frankly disgusting. I don't feel what I'm doing is ethnically wrong, because the company is evidently pleased with my current productivity, but I find it unsatisfying and like a waste of my time on earth.

So my question is: Is all of FAANG like this? If the market value of such incompetence is a FAANG salary, how can I do good/satisfying work and get paid proportionally?
My basement.

I'd like to think location matters less and less these days, but there's a lot of stereotyping and group-think to overcome.
Istio flings out poxy proxy patch
Not only would litigation cost tens of thousands of dollars (out of reach for this person) and risky, nothing Krebs said was technically false. Krebs made no specific claims about his involvement, just included him in the article without explicitly stating why.
You're not alone. I recently took over an Elixir application that uses Apollo/GraphQL. To say the least, making a simple change requires traversing and updating a bunch of code in several areas. For example, if I want to add a single field in an endpoint: Update Apollo, update the GraphQL schema, update the resolvers, update types, update the schema. Makes me wonder what the advantage is. Would just love to go back to a basic REST implementation. Elixir's routing pipeline handles that so well.

I don't know if you can call competition when the other guy is teleported directly at the finish line. This issue affects open communication applications too not only Slack. What would be ironic is if EU forces all of them to use open standards so I could integrate my open source app into Office too
The title could be misread as indicating online tuition is not worth the cost generally, which is a different matter.

The article is actually making the fair point that students paying for IRL classes are being ill-served by online replacements with no discount.

It mis-steps though in generalising to making claims more generally about online tuition; a physical university (say) panicked by lockdown into rush-providing online replacements for normal service is hardly likely to be able to match the quality of service of (decent) institutions that specialise in online learning.

Office 365 is more of a monopoly than Windows now. This kind of bundling and cross-subsidy is classic monopoly abuse, and is almost identical to the IE case.

What we need is the same rules applying to everyone. For all skin colors. There is a huge barrier to get access to the judicial system because of very high lawyer fees. These are real problems, not the distribution of skin shades for certain occupation. On the contrary, that is pretty racist.

I don't believe in systematic racism. I believe we are in a bad situation where people have economic incentives to keep it alive, as perverse as this sounds.

"Our study revealed a universal law: Conservation of Brain Connectivity," Prof. Assaf concludes. "This law denotes that the efficiency of information transfer in the brain's neural network is equal in all mammals, including humans."

I thought this was a little over the top. Its nothing like, say, the laws of gravitation. Its a regularity observed between species in a specific taxon on a specific planet at a specific time. And it was just one study.

Still, I think the research is really cool. And I wonder whether this is an emergent property of how mammalian brains develop, or whether the regularity is the result of evolutionary pressure (because, i.e. there is selection for a specific connectivity profile).
One trick google uses is that there are 'standard' templates to start your design doc from. So it has all the sections mentioned in the post, and each section is initially filled with a description of what is needed there (and sometimes links to other supporting materials).

Not everyone will be diligent and fill out all applicable sections, but it does help bring some uniformity to the process.
The Model CO2 Absorber for Storage Tank Valves
The Storage Tank Vent CO2 (Carbon di-oxide) Absorbers are equipped with replaceable Filter cartridges that contains cells and particulate filters. The designs and manufactures Low-Pressure-Drop CO2 Scrubber /CO2 Absorber to remove CO2 gases from the airflow during emptying and filling of storage tanks and already exist CO2 inside of the storage tank. CO2 Scrubber/CO2 Absorber which particularly designed with new technology for Condensate, demineralized water tank and other storage tank vents. The most common design is use of 4-stage asymmetric structure active filtration principle in which Filter cartridges is embedded inside the filter media.
CO2 Scrubber & Absorbers are mounted on the breather valve of the tank. It very well may be gathered either on the top of the tank or on the ground. The CO2 filtration effectiveness up to 100% empowers a high caliber of demineralized water.
Filter for Demineralized Water Tank Vents is to be introduced at the breathing
vent to avert CO2 entrance in to the DM water stockpiling tank. The aim is to maintain full removal of the CO2 from the outer sources.
The most common way of measuring very low ionic impurity levels in ultra-pure water is conductivity and resistivity analyzes. Demineralized water is usually exposed to air from CO2, which increases its conductivity and gives the appearance of a pollutant in water. The CO2 Scrubber for DM Tanks allows you to maintain your pH and low conductivity of demineralized water. Contingent upon the CO2 focus in the approaching air, the water conductivity can be expanded to ~ 0.8-1.5 suS/cm.
A global manufacturer of Low-Pressure-Drop CO2 Scrubber/CO2 Absorber which especially structured with new innovation for demineralized water tank and other storage tank vents. Model is important for industries such as demineralized water, power generation, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals having strict legal requirements. In additional filters are usually used in to remove odor from the air too.
