It would be much better if the application would take care of this on the first run (or a subsequent run if it is copied from a backup or other device). Restricting these things to only the installation phase makes App's less portable. Because you always need the installation file as well. On macOS pplications are bundled directories. So they are a single 'file' containing everything needed to get the App running (binaries, metadata, assets, etc). Using an installer on them is just an cumbersome antipattern adding useless steps to a process that could be a simple drag and drop.
If Hollywood has taught us anything, its that this is not a good idea.

But, its interesting to think about the future of war when all combatants are automated. Is it purely a matter of resource-superiority? Or will algorithms be the main differentiator? And what about all the countries who are not even in the automated race.
This article is complete bullshit. It is based on the fact that they have been successful at growing a saas company without sales team

Well they sell to SMB [1], of course they don't need sales, no SMB focused company should have sales team. Try to sell SAP without sales people and write an article about it ;)

This article is also saying that having a good product will prevent your from needing a sales team, again this is false. The goal of a sales team is not to convince customers that they should by your product. A salesperson is here to listen to your needs and offer you something that match with that

I learned programming on MS-DOS with DJGPP, which is basically the GNU Compiler Collection (and lots of other GNU software) for MS-DOS. It certainly was usable (and included two free IDEs: RHIDE and Emacs), it was as good as GCC on Unix except for the lack of multitasking (which is what led me to Linux). This was long before Windows 98; the earliest DJGPP I can find is from 1994, and I had already migrated from DJGPP to GCC on Linux before 1998.
This and other sources disagrees with you: http://www.b737.org.uk/mcas.htm

>This abnormal nose-up pitching is not allowable under 14CFR §25.203(a) "Stall characteristics". Several aerodynamic solutions were introduced such as revising the leading edge stall strip and modifying the leading edge vortilons but they were insufficient to pass regulation. MCAS was therefore introduced to give an automatic nose down stabilizer input during elevated AoA when flaps are up.

The 737 Max was not certifiable without MCAS at all.

Yeah, to me a contractor is just someone that does one-offs. All these other things (setting prices, hours, etc) never actually struck me as accurate.

A contractor is someone you hire to perform a particular piece of work. An employee is someone you hire for their skill who is then expected to do many (sometimes varied) pieces of work.
Honestly, i've been hearing the criticism "What you put a lot of work into accomplishing should be free" my whole life. There is a full sub-reddit for these things (/r/choosingbeggars).
Always good to read marketing pieces about how a company is too focused on their product to do any marketing.
Flash storage has a certain maximum number of writes and so will eventually fail as a reusable storage medium. But if you simply want to back up old photos, then you are still likely to be able to read back from the medium for much longer than 10 years.
Here in the Netherlands Adobe breaks our laws by not allowing one to cancel a subscription every month after the first year. It took me 45 min on the phone and 4 forwards and saying expressly that they were breaking the law before they cancelled the subscription. No more Adobe for me.

All conversations could only be done in English, something my wife would already be pretty uncomfortable with.
For comparison, I've read estimates (I don't know whether they're correct) that the marketing budget just for launching Chrome was equivalent to two billion dollars, if you include the ad space that Google was providing for free.

That's just for the launch.

I may be forgetting things but I don't remember ever seeing launches for a free product that were so heavily marketed.
Me, too. Seafile is another good example. Gogs was great nbut the sbdfl went awol too often. Its fork Gitea still has many Chinese devs, though and is one of my favorite projects with Asian roots.
Wow, do not take this advice. This must have been written by someone with little to no skin in the game. I'm honestly surprised someone would post this.

The idea that a good product will sell itself is a developer's fantasy. Trust me, I've been there and learned the hard way. Once I realized that sales and marketing were the missing pieces, I began to build revenue and I'm well past my first 1M. It only came after I made that change.

Every startup should focus on its inbound and outbound strategies.

Inbound Marketing: Publish great content (blog posts, white papers, videos, resources, things people will find genuinely useful) on your site and across the web on topics related to your service so that users find you. Put the most compelling resources behind a lead form that helps you qualify them as potential buyers. This gets the user acquainted with you and also gives you their contact info for follow up marketing or sales contacts.

Outbound Sales: Reaching out directly to the leads you have acquired (best quality) or off some other list (lower, variable quality). Sometimes the contact will be happy to engage and learn more. Other times not.

You can and will win sales from the inbound piece alone, especially if you have a clear and efficient sign up process. But you'll find you can greatly amplify the number of closed sales by reaching out to users and engaging them directly. That human touch adds a whole new element.

There are many facets of sales and merketing but I wanted to lay out the most important items, since taking the post's advice will almost definitely point you in the wrong direction.
I guess because I'm in a bit of a mood thanks to arguing with Linux Desktop evangelists lately, I'd like to point out that Rox Filer implemented exactly this file saving functionality (and many other good ideas RiscOS) on Linux. Then they built Rox Desktop around it. It was great. There were AppDirs, context-menu-only, spacial file management, drag-n-drop to save, etc.

Naturally, the project's reward for trying to improve the Linux Desktop experience was to have all its ideas ignored by the wider Linux community as it faded into obscurity.

If anybody was ever wondering why all these people who have gripes about the Linux Desktop experience never seem receptive to your pleas of "contribute! you can make it better!", this is why.

Once you get over the initial bump in the learning curve that most high-end content creation tools have, Resolve is one of those tools that grows with you; most of the time if you need a "new-for-you" function, it always had it ready for when you need it. Some people report stability problems, for me Resolve (stable releases) has been the most stable content creation tool - any category - I've personally used.

Pro tip: Do go through the slight additional hassle of setting up a local postgresql server with their installer and use that instead of the "local database" (=SQLite). Saving projects with a lot of internal data (e.g. many clips using correctors with trackers) is much quicker (>10x) with pg.

Here's the taxes on French salaries for reference.

- The company has 60k budget.

- 25% goes to employer tax (charges patronales). 45k left. That's commonly called the gross salary (salaire brut).

- 25% goes to employee tax (charges sociales). 34k left. Commonly called the net salary (salaire net)

- Employee pays income tax at the end of the year. The rate is progressive and highly variable depending on personal situation. (30k left if you're single living alone).

Tip: Generally speaking I strongly advise to avoid discussing taxes with French citizens, fact is absolutely nobody understands where money goes to or how much. The usual payslip only shows the "charges sociales" itemized as 10 to 20 lines of things.

That's called an ESB (enterprise software bus), a lot of companies have that, and there's a lot of softwares already on that space (IBM has quite a good market share there). Some companies do roll their own though, I've seen quite a few implementing ESBs on top of 0mq for instance.

My previous company was doing trading and made the outgoing orders available on the ESB. It's was quite handy since all teams could subscribe to the trade topic and do their own processing: trade checks, accounting, risk, etc.

It's a bit old school though, I mainly see old corporations with that architecture. The thing is, it ages quite badly most the time.

Fast forward 5 years, and every single team is publishing stuff on the ESB "cause it's super easy to publish and consume data from the ESB". Before you know it, you have a full team dedicated to scaling and maintaining the monster.

can confirm. went to join a former startup right after the acquisition by a big company. it was a complicated product that would have required years of investment to pull off. instead, the company basically killed all the innovation, micromanaged everything, always wanted immediate results and didn't understand the complexity of what we were doing. we were all let go after 2 years and the project was transitioned to another team that had little knowledge about the product. some months later, they acquired our competitor.
My, albeit limited experience, does tell me it is hard to sell B2B without dedicated sales people of some sort.

UK company incorporation is especially easy; you use the templates, give them a bunch of personal information, and pay £12. There's an annual filing fee of about the same amount, and for small companies the accounting requirements are very simple.

Employing people: https://www.gov.uk/employing-staff (register with tax office, pay 13.8% of their pay over £166/w as national insurance. Very small employers don't have to register with PAYE: https://www.gov.uk/paye-for-employers

Usually you delegate that to some company like Sage.

Giving them shares or share options is potentially much more complicated, but by that point you'll retain an accountant for the purpose.

The big nightmares are visas (of any kind) and bank accounts. Small business banking doesn't have "consumer protection", and can come with all sorts of fees and predatory lending practices.
In Canada to become self employed is basically processless. You just file personal taxes as usual. They get slightly more complicated with deductions and such though. But many people do self employed taxes themselves.

Next level would be incorporating. The process is easy. Can be done online in a few minutes.

Taxes become more complicated. For a small one to three person company expect to pay about 2-5K annually to a professional accountant.

Corporate tax rate is 15% under 500K of revenue in Ontario. It varies province by province. Quebec as I understand is higher and also more complicated as they have their own tax system separate.

Ask HN: How do you do Conferences?
I applied and was accepted to participate in the Programing Languages Mentoring Workshop [0] at the International Conference on Functional Programming [1] and the main conference in general, my first conference.

As a sophomore in college, I don't feel that I'm prepared to get the most out of attending and my advisor—to no fault of his own, he's interested in Computer-Human Interface and CS education—was not much help.

Since there is no one way to "do" a conference—especially during COVID-19—how do you participate in conferences?

Sidenote: I'm also interested in working on and presenting research to which I'm looking at participating in a REU [2] or one of the two research opportunities my university offers [3,4]. Due to the unnerving end of my freshman year, this summer was a wash.

I have written enough macros to be able to do it (among others, the guile-for-loops macros). There are some issues with a macro like this. I can make it quasi-hygienic by hygienically checking for megacut (right now I am just comparing symbols, as returned by datum->syntax).

Doing it in another way than "Any binding looking like %n and %& will be captured and shadowed" is pretty much unsolved using any standard scheme. I could probably hack something together using syntax-locally-bound-identifiers, but then I would have to implement local macro expansion (which is possible. I'm just lazy!).

In most jurisdictions there are strict rules on protection on minority shareholders that make it illegal for the majority of votes from robbing other shareholders of their rightful share; in such events the minority shareholders are entitled to compensation, and this is what's happening now.

>Big disasters require many small things to go just right. If the software was more robust this wouldn't have happened. If the hardware was more robust this wouldn't have happened. If the UX had been compatible with the pilots existing knowledge this wouldn't have happened. If the airlines were willing to pony up for type certs this wouldn't have happened.

None of those things are small. They are all glaring errors willingly overlooked only because of the last point you mentioned which is money.

This is not a case of unfortunate accidents that can advance peoples understanding of avionics.
This is a case of serious (in my opinion criminal) negligence motivated by a desire for more money this quarter and the next.
Yeah, you are right, I was mainly thinking about swell, which can sometimes be quite important, while local wind isn't particularly strong. Beaufort scale is more a wind scale than a swell scale, my apologies for using it. I don't think big waves are that problematic to navigate with a speedboat if the period between two waves is long enough, but I don't think foiling would work with that kind of sea. Since I used to live in an area where such conditions were relatively frequent, I was wondering how well the Candela could handle them.

My boating skills aren't that fresh anymore, despite living on one during my childhood, and spending a good chunk of my youth close to the sea. I might thus misremember or exaggerate things, but I am fairly confident of the above.

That's never been my experience with unions and wages. My salary has been based in what I negotiated but the union ensures that each year I get a raise that is at least in line with inflation so that I am not, in really terms, making less money each year. They also collectively bargain on my behalf for annual leave and provide the same function for me that HR provide for my employer.

Good point. Couple of thoughts:
It helps to put different tools (formatters, linters) into separate groups per language.
On top of that, adding the mode of execution (rule-based, AST-based and so on) would help with classification, too, but it's a lot of work that we could need help with over on Github.
One thing that has become quite obvious for us is that people are interested in filtering based on web-services, commandline tools and so on, which we will add. That data is already there, we just haven't gotten around to adding filters to the site. Same for filtering by proprietary vs open source licenses. Many other categories come to mind. The challenge is to make it a helpful tool for beginners in the field while also adding features to drill down on the details. If you or anyone likes to discuss that further or wants to help build it, head over to https://github.com/analysis-tools-dev/website/issues/11. That's one big advantage of building a product in the open. :)

> I think that catering to that small number of power users at the expense of having a faster, more stable, more secure browser earlier was a major mistake.

Catering to power users is the only reason Firefox ever had market share in the first place! Normal users do not install their own browsers. Normal users do not care about their browser. They barely even know what a browser is, other than it's the thing they use to get on the Internet.

Every bit of Mozilla's original market share came from power users wanting a browser with more features and power than Internet Explorer. And once the power users fell in love with it, they evangelized it relentlessly to their friends and family. There were campaigns for power users to go install it on grandma's computer. This is the only way Firefox ever got on a normal user's computer. (This was also the only way Firefox got headway in enterprise environments, though it would have made a lot more if Mozilla had listened to power users and system admins and added the group policy and installation options they asked for.)

Chrome crushed Firefox because it was a decent, fast browser and because of the massive marketing budget. Chrome was and is pushed hard on the biggest web properties on the world - you get notifications on Google and YouTube if you use anything other than Chrome. Various other installers also installed Chrome, unless you unchecked a box. There were TV commercials. It was the default browser on Google platforms from phones to Chromebooks. That's why Chrome won.

When Firefox killed feature after feature that catered to power users, power users cared less and less about evangelization, and some of them switched to Chrome because Firefox was becoming increasingly Chrome-like, Chrome dev tools were evidently pretty good, and many people perceived Chrome to be faster. I still use Firefox, but I honestly don't see any reason to other than ideological reasons, which are becoming increasingly tenuous and not really a winning argument even for power users.

This is why Firefox usage will continue to decline. It doesn’t matter how much faster Firefox becomes. It doesn’t matter how much easier Firefox development gets. Mozilla alienated their core user base, they aren’t coming back, and normal users are never going to start installing niche browsers that aren’t pushed hard by multi billion dollar companies. Mozilla has no path forward. They’ve screwed up irrevocably and the best they can hope for is to manage the decline and cling to their remaining user base. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like they’re going to be able to manage even that.
