I don't get how companies can blame Google for loss of traffic. Google is going to do what it thinks will produce the best results.

And if you somehow think that gives you a right to show up in those results or be there if you benefited from showing up in results in the past, that's flawed thinking.
If you depend on SEO for traffic you will go extinct one way or another. Even if you don't get black swaned by an update. SEO is a really an outdated strategy for getting traffic, something that used to be popular in the 2000s when just having a website at all put you on the map. I have seen declining search engine traffic on my sites for years but it has less to do with Google and more to do with the changing culture. Less and less people browse search results and when they do it's more often to glance at the rank-0 result or click an ad. In general SEO being a zero-sum winner-take-all game makes me reluctant to even play when there are alternatives.

The new SEO is optimizing social media. Your visitors and customers are out there, you can talk to them, they can talk to you. You either create a following or pay an influencer to rent their following. In a way this is like going back to the old days of promotion and marketing where you'd go door-to-door to sell. Nowadays the web is saturated and filled with so many scams that word-of-mouth and being associated with a trustworthy face has become important once again.
I found this recent paper interesting: https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc20/presentation/zhao

> Containers are increasingly used in a broad spectrum of applications from cloud services to storage to supporting emerging edge computing paradigm. This has led to an explosive proliferation of container images. The associated storage performance and capacity requirements place high pressure on the infrastructure of registries, which store and serve images. Exploiting the high file redundancy in real-world images is a promising approach to drastically reduce the severe storage requirements of the growing registries. However, existing deduplication techniques largely degrade the performance of registry because of layer restore overhead. In this paper, we propose DupHunter, a new Docker registry architecture, which not only natively deduplicates layer for space savings but also reduces layer restore overhead. DupHunter supports several configurable deduplication modes , which provide different levels of storage efficiency, durability, and performance, to support a range of uses. To mitigate the negative impact of deduplication on the image download times, DupHunter introduces a two-tier storage hierarchy with a novel layer prefetch/preconstruct cache algorithm based on user access patterns. Under real workloads, in the highest data reduction mode, DupHunter reduces storage space by up to 6.9x compared to the current implementations. In the highest performance mode, DupHunter can reduce the GET layer latency up to 2.8x compared to the state-of-the-art.
I'm not sure I'd qualify that as "allowing" -- seems like more of a loophole to me.

There is perfectly common sense solution to every issue OP has raised. I have used JIRA for 7 years in many different teams and I think it works and does not get in my way as a developer. In my experience the people who seem to have trouble with JIRA are the same people who have trouble with basic software engineering processes and being organized.

"Bosses (managers) get stuff done through meetings – changing tasks every 60 minutes." -- I don't know what bosses you are or have worked with but incompetent leadership and poor software engineering acumen can't be solved with buying software subscriptions.

Why are you trying to make for the tool being bad when the blame lies with people? I am tired with hearing this bogus notion of friction between Bosses, PM, Engineers and somehow you can pay your way out of lack of alignment in an organization.

What is Apple’s end game here? It seems like they’re fighting a losing battle and digging their own antitrust grave.

Pretty clever on Epic’s part to specifically highlight how Apple’s app store fee hits the user directly. Pretty short-sighted of Apple to immediately pull an app for providing consumers with additional disclosure about where their money is going.

So I agree about the 'cadence' bit.

But this:

" Imagine if you could have skipped all those English classes back then. Guess what? You would be learning it all right now!"

No, no way.

It's a total misunderstanding of education to contemplate this.

Education is not 'some facts and things you learn that you may use later'.

Education at HS level is much more fundamental than that, particularly English.

It's about communicating, developing ideas, writing. Not only is it essential, it takes quite a lot of time and effort, and it's hard to just 'pick up'.

I have an Angel investor friend who just set up his own basic website (simple is fine) and wrote his own little intro copy. It's atrocious. Basically, in four sentences in writing, he reveals his own lack of education to anyone who cares to read. I mean - it's not 'that that bad' - but it really is sub professional and embarrassing. He's otherwise very smart, very educated, but it turns out he can't string together a few tightly coherent sentences to make a point.

There's no 'going back'. Both of should have paid more attention in school.

I do agree with he cadence, I think that school days should be shorter, and there should be more music and sports, shop class and longer term projects.

If I pointed a gun at your head, I'm being non-violent, no? Of course, you might reasonably shoot me if I tried.

Threatening anything, by compromising the security of something, is not neutral; occupying buildings is not either. Neither is wearing a mask and showing up in large, angry groups: even if you do no harm, you are still threatening. Even if the majority commit no crime, they might provide cover for those who do.

To me, the whole appeal of protest in this form is less about an accurate expression of feeling, opening up and appealing to the out-group, than it is about threatening harm, often is a sloppy, undifferentiated manner (e.g. public stores/car are at risk, messages are mixed).

This, exactly. All complaints about JIRA boil down to poor administration, not the tool itself.
More useful now than ever!

I'm very sure Epic saw this coming. I assume they, and many others, are spoiling for a fight with Apple over this and are willing to take this risk in bringing public opinion with them.
Those were not the same kind of handles AFAIK. This particular article is about pooling objects of the same time AND using indices (which the articles calls handles) to reference them. They aren't handles by any definition I've heard of in the past. AFAIK the definition of a handle is an opaque reference to some object, when you want to use the object you ask the handle for the object's actual address being aware that the address is only useful for some defined period (like having to call ptr = acquire(handle) ... do work with p ... release(handle) (p is now not valid).

Handles by that definition have the usage the can be moved in memory to clear up fragmentation but they have none of the other benefits this particular post is talking about. Those benefits only come from their specific implementation, not from the idea of "handles".
Which has absolutely nothing to do with paying for the App Store or games on it. What's your point? Apple should be forced to give up control of their work?
The bit soliciting people to link to the site is not only desperate SEO -- the author claims they're moving away from relying upon Google, when actually they're trying to double down, seriously asking for "high-quality, earnest links from highly ranked domains" -- it will yield very close to zero natural click through.

People are fairly impatient and when searching for something often hope for an answer as quickly as possible. This site seems heavily narrative based, with a number of paragraphs of content per point. I imagine that the median dwell time on the site is poor as a lot of people hit the back button to the SERP and just go to another page that cuts to the chase. Like the Physioplus page that this author mocks, which seems much clearer and succint.

We know that Google is constantly measuring and judging based upon that -- dwell time is king, and while SEO and desperate link solicitations might get you in contention, if the dwell time isn't there you will rightly get punted from the results. I doubt many care whether alternatives were written by a "high school dropout" if they get to the core of their need, which is usually developing the proper heuristics to know what they're dealing with.
I have to agree. Sounds like more of a management issue than a Jira problem.
>Love this idea. Can you give some example amounts? How much have you donated to OpenSSL? NTP? Postfix?

Sure!

For regular one-time donations:

- Debian => $500 once a year (typically in the summer)

- Free Software Foundation => $500 once a year (typically around the new year)

- MetaARPA membership on the SDF => $36 once a year (in August)

For regular ongoing donations:

- $60/half year to the OpenBSD Foundation for OpenBSD (once for each release - I used to buy each CD set but they don't sell them anymore)

- $20/month to the OpenBSD Foundation to support OpenSSH, LibreSSL, and OpenNTPd

- $5/month to a niche forum that I post to on occasion

- $5/month to a podcast that I listen to

- $6/month to a BandCamp artist that I listen to

For other projects, I'll keep an eye on their calls for donation for specific things and support them one-off as I can. GnuCash says I've donated about $5000 over the last ten years or so doing that.

This list shows how out-of-date I am with frontend webdev. I last did frontend stuff with Spring MVC and JSPs!! Yeah it's been over a decade. I was also using table-driven UI element placement still and hadn't fully switched over to CSS. I'll get there someday...
I didn't mean me specifically, just the concept in general, but that's good to hear.
To paraphrase many of the comments here: Most of the problems that devs have with Jira are not problems with base Jira, but with the implementation and usage of Jira.

Jira is perfectly fine, just like ALM is perfectly fine, TFS (Azure Devops?) is perfectly fine, Trello is perfectly fine, etc...

The problems come from the implementation, and the implementation is reflective of the culture. Any work planning tool becomes a work tracking tool and any work tracking tool becomes a punishment tool (without careful and attentive work to stop this effect).
Pretty much every security camera, most of the networking equipment, action cameras and set-top boxes run Linux from NOR flash (cost and simplicity reasons- no FTL, IIRC better retention). Altogether it's probably billions of devices.

There are also quite a few lines of MCUs without built-in flash memory and those typically boot from external NOR flash.
I feel the term "micro particles" is too broad. I'm pretty sure there is a difference for health between car exhaust particles, tire particles, brake pad particles, industry particles, fertilizer particles, wood smoke particles, etc. It all ends up in the same PM10 or PM2.5 or whatever category but the chemical nature is quite variable.
Looking deeper, it looks like you're right. It would take the right spray paint and wouldn't be a zero effort as I remembered reading about it.

I think the argument is, you can always go use an Android phone if you don't like the iPhone.

Apple has a monopoly on its app-store the same way Amazon has a monopoly on what (and how) it sells on AWS for services.
Saying the App Store is a monopoly every chance you get doesn’t mean it actually is.
Interesting that 'factor of three' puts it within the range of the number of employees Mozilla currently has. That means that the browser is already in danger if they do other stuff besides. Hm. That's more urgent than I thought it would be.
Free certificates last a week. You can also pay Apple $99 to get a certificate that lasts a year, or pay a "UDID registration" website around $10 for the same (with some limitations).
> I don't write to please Google.

You can afford to do that if the website is not your primary source of income , not everyone has that luxury.

Online small and medium biz have to pay for their expenses , it is not for ad driven models either , organic traffic is significant source for people to purchase of your site. if your content is invisible to google for most sites that is a killing blow .
> How is the apple app store not the definition of a monopoly? Is there an competing app store on iphones that Epic could be using?

I think it's all about how you define the market. Is the market for "apps on the iPhone" or "computer software in general"? Apple has monopoly control of the former but not the latter.
Weird, on the one hand I'm thankful to hear it's not "pay to win" stuff, but on the other, wow that's a lot of skins and dances!

Yes, your version does sound stupid.

English, Math, History and Geography at the high school level are fairly straight forward, and the subjects are important to a rounded character. They really are not hard.

Most of Grad school is utterly gruelling, there isn't time to sleep, students pulled in different directions, and studying mostly arcane subjects that really are not important to anyone.

> This blog is not about how Jira is too complex and over-engineered with features I don’t need.

This blogpost is a microcosm of engineer arrogance (it's also an ad for their product, so all of this is basically a strawman to drive sign-ups. Great content marketing, to bash on a tool people love to hate).

The world is not all about engineers. Jira is a tool for whole companies, which have lots of other departments than Engineering, which are also important, also trying to reach their goals.

I'm so sorry that you got pulled out of your "deep flow" state because an executive is trying to figure out if a project is at risk. You know, she might have a really good reason to worry about that, maybe including information you don't have, like a potential customer who is at risk if the feature doesn't ship.

So suck it up and help out your colleagues.

And if you don't want to be interrupted, then maybe keep your tickets up-to-date, or proactively communicate risks, or sign out of Slack for a few hours, or get your manager to do their job better and be a buffer to protect you from interruptions. None of this is Jira's fault.

Can Jira be a PITA to use - sure, but that's probably because of how your company set it up. You can make Jira streamlined if you try, but it takes active administration, and the people who work in Jira need to be empowered to work on Jira. If you can't get your Jira project to work the way you need, then that sucks, but that's probably Jira being a microcosm of your company's org/power structure, which is a different thing.

Or sign-up for their product, that's really the goal of this post.

Edit: I did not intend to claim that all, or even most, engineers are arrogant people. They certainly are not, at least in my experience. If you are an engineer (I am one, too) please don't read this as me attacking you personally! I am aiming at this kind of blog post, which displays a me-first attitude that I think is unhealthy.
What a bore. I'm not a fan of TikTok, but being stupid is the whole point – and pretending that everything you spend your time on has to have some "value" it's one of the stupidest habits of people who want to be smart I've ever seen. Human life is absurd and pointless, you die anyway and everything you do will disappear into the void: just let yourself have some stupid fun in-between pointlessly hauling the boulder back up, for hell's sake.
Because the iPhone is not a monopoly. Apparently Apple has 58% of the smartphone market in the US so it's not really all that comparable to Microsoft back in the day. So if you don't like the App Store, you can switch to Android.

(I personally don't agree with this viewpoint but it's how it is viewed by many. For one, I've spent $X on iOS apps, if I switch platforms I lose all of those apps. Feels unfair!)
Interesting - thank you
Which Epic has already done. They have their own Epic Store that instructs you on how to sideload the apps, etc. They got shit on for this by Google for doing a run around and by users for security implications.
They're using Drift, the little chat widget in the bottom.

I've had to build out tracking on marketing sites and we had to add a redundant, canonical page title to every page since 3rd party tools like drift change the <title> tag in the HTML to say New Message!!!!!

They do it so if you migrate to a new tab it tries to annoy you into going back.
There are a ton of competing app stores, the fact that you can't access them on an iPhone means nothing. Apple made a platform, they have every right to set the rules. Don't like it go somewhere else there are plenty of other choices.
A - Agree that people will continue to search for things online.

B - Google does and will continue to capture that traffic, and it will continue to get better. Case in point, I read earlier this week an article about a site devoted to celebrity net worth and how their business was eaten up by the change.

C - Agree that more involved information is safe or safer.

But you know, it is obvious that Google will continue to eat up more and more queries. I don't know what percentage they are currently able to eat up and keep to themselves, but they are surely devoted to upping that rate. So as a long term play, do you really want to put yourself in competition with all the Google data scientists?
So, what is Epic's plan?

I have to assume they fully expected removal. So they must have some next step in mind.

Some kind of legal action? A complaint to regulators or a lawsuit? Are either of those likely to work?

As a user I'm quite happy with Apple intermediating my relationship with companies that seek to do business with me over the phone, and I'd actually be happier if Apple took over more of my relationships.

I don't want a situation where 10 apps means 10 different privacy agreements. I also don't want to deal with app companies directly for returns or their custom payment solutions — an "Amazon" is way better.
