I love Windows, but it's still got a long ways to go before becoming an reliable desktop OS. For most people they could easily use it. However the moment updates don't install correctly kills it for them. Windows is great if you never shut down your computer during an update or always give them the time to apply.

My main beef with it is the telemetry and inconsistent UI. It's far better than it was 10 years ago but nobody wants to be dealing with that. It's annoying. I can deal with program crashes or some minor feature not working right. I can't deal with random UI changes, random resetting of settings, and uploading usage data behind my back.

Windows will always just be a tool (slowly becoming an integrated Azure client) to me and nothing more. It's a great fleshed out customizable-as-Microsoft-allows tool. But it is hardly what it needs to be to quit non-creatives from migrating to iPads and smartphones.
This seems handy for teams that aren't using Kubernetes. If you're already on Kubernetes, there are better tools out there like Argo, Scaffold, Harness, etc with a tighter focus. Curious to know why `waypoint test` is missing, that could be interesting...
Europe is ahead of the curve here, wonder if anything they do influenced the Brookings institute to say this.

Openland advantages over Slack / Discord:

- Member onboarding

- Integrations (CRMs, Zoom, etc.)

- Automated messaging

- Hashtags for messages and profiles

- Threaded comments (Discord don't have them)

- Community analytics

- Paid communities (one-time, subscription, donations)

- More to come. We work directly with community organizers on new functionality they need the most.

We'll be expanding our articles and guides soon. The community building playbook is the one I recommend to read now https://www.notion.so/openland/Openland-s-Playbook-for-Commu...

Wanting to work somewhere other than your home does not mean you don't like being at home, nor that you have family or workspace issues. I would assume that some of us have a newfound appreciation for the energy and architecture of the modern cities and offices. I love my home but it's just not the same kind of space.

Model explainability is a very active area of research. For the example of an individual neural network prediction you could use SHAP values[0].

Explainability is far from a solved problem but there are certainly tools available to provide at least some transparency. I guess the website could provide references but that doesn't really seem to be the resolution being aimed for.

At the time of the ARM1 and ARM2, DRAM typically had a 120ns cycle time (tho you could get 100ns DRAM). The Archimedes machines ran at 8MHz so they ran at the limit of the DRAM bandwidth. There were some early prototypes which could run at 12MHz but that required fast DRAM and careful component selection or the computer would not run reliably - look for “fast A500” at http://chrisacorns.computinghistory.org.uk/Computers/A500.ht...

Other CPUs were not as good as the ARM at using the available DRAM bandwidth.
I find this rather amusing, because the much maligned Adobe Reader handles this just fine.

There is reality to this, but it's generally for private companies raising money that can hold their cards close to their chest.

Pinterest, I believe, would not tell investors the 'results of their ad tests' precisely because they didn't want investors to be able to hard-value the company.

Once the 'analyst in the investor' gets enough data, that mind will crunch the numbers quickly to figure out the 'net present value' etc. and come up with a number.

If they don't have that data, then some of them can be allowed to 'dream'.

With public companies, there should be enough data on the table for people to make reasonable conclusions, but investing is taking a pop-culture angle these days and it's problematic.

I know that Glassdoor recently laid off 300 employees[0]. So my read is that this is a dying breath of sorts.

I worked at a mid sized company that was going through a very rough patch (right before the inevitable bankruptcy.) During this time I got a call from a Glassdoor rep who /explicitly/ offered to remove bad reviews in exchange for us moving to a high paid tier and putting up X amount of job listings.

Glassdoor is just corporate Yelp.
Thanks jrexilius!
Today I was thinking about this kind of thing, for example Epic not allowing reviews at all, Valve "off topic" review hiding, metacritic changes to their system, or Netflix removing their review system...

I concluded that review systems often are on the losing side when their income comes from what they are reviewing, reviews you can trust are those that are unrelated.

For example a famous bastion of review is the Michelin Guide, although controversies happened to it, and often restaurant owners get mad at it for not "supporting the restaurant industry" when the guide doesn't do what they want, I realized the probable reason the guide works, is because it wants to sell car tyres, not food.

Michelin Guide purpose is make people drive to places and use their tyres (there was even a controversy caused by confused restauranteurs that thought it was "unfair" restaurant you can't drive to, aren't in the guide), thus the only bad incentive they might have is to choose restaurants that might cause bigger tyre usage than normal.

But Netflix for example can't piss off the movie companies or they risk losing their catalog. Metacritic depends on ads, can't let users piss off the advertisers, and so on.
It's exactly that! https://xkcd.com/927/
I've started using NixOS as my primary OS. Lots of rough edges - both due to Linux and then NixOS on top. But the immutable nature of it has made it so easy for me to fearlessly hack around. And once I solve something, I immortalize it in code that I check into git.

Upgrades (both NixOS and kernel) are also fearless and trivial to roll back.

It's really nice to declaratively manage stuff like NVIDIA drivers (w/Prime), udev, printer drivers, etc. Much nicer than running commands and getting my computer in a stable state that I hopefully never mess up.
>Most of the big tech cos. can replace Zoom overnight.

If that's true, why haven't they? Streaming live video isn't simple. Multiply that times the number of users in one meeting multiplied by the number of calls, and not simple gets even more complicated. Also, big tech will do the obvious thing and make you be a member/user of their platform. G would require a Gmail account, FB require FB account, etc. The one attraction to Zoom to me is that no account required to attend.
I did the same years ago. I've done everything from new job paperwork to buying a house to various government forms and I've yet to have anyone refuse to accept or even comment on the fact that my signature is a pixel-perfect copy on all documents.
A few things I realized in the past few years:

1. Elite class does exist in the society, and they exert tight control on the flow of information in traditional media, e.g. TV, newspapaer etc. Their control is loosened in the Internet age initially, which led to the rise of Trump. Trying to correct this, a narrative of blaming "fake news" was used to pressure leading companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter to toe the elite line.

2. Censorship of "effective" speech, which is speech that can reach vast audience, always exists in any society. Just think back about the "mask is useless" than "everyone should wear mask" media campaigns in the in the past few months, on traditional media. Internet weakened the traditional guardians of "effective" speech. With the multiple challenges faced by the elites today, e.g. COVID, class and racial conflicts, disruption to internal orders, the elites are trying harder to take control of important nodes of Internet, so they can build consensus and move the society to a direction they desire.

It makes me even sadder when people's social circles and even their entire social network align strictly with work.

I've met plenty of good friends at work, but I'm very happy my social network includes mostly people doing different things with their life. It means there is much more breadth of perspective, and you realize very easily that work isn't everything.

It sounds like you also might not have had much experience in the current "everyone is friends!" startup office culture. There's a pretty strong pressure to socialize all of the time, during lunch and after hours, with everyone. The people get laid off and they are erased from that social circle, typically people won't even communicate with them anymore. It's repulsive.
statistically speaking most people today make a living coding in js, if we where going to extremes we would be talking about soldering your own board, assembling your own language, rolling your own OS, the shit Bell labs used to do.

> why not just learn how to use Dockerfiles and Kubernetes manifests?

The problem I see with the entire Docker ecosystem is that the Docker/Dockerfile build system is fundamentally terrible, principally because the cache system assumes a linear dependency tree and build graphs are, well, graphs. To get reasonable build performance, you need a tool that understands this. This is something Nix gets right, and it even lets you build Docker images without the Docker/Dockerfile build system.

I'd also like to see something that takes it a step further--build the docker image AND a set of kubernetes manifests that reference that docker image (a "kubernetes app package" if you will) such that you have a single artifact that represents your application that a "kubernetes package manager" can deploy (the current crop of k8s package managers altogether punt on the contents of docker images).

I understand that this is a very different way of thinking about Kubernetes and Docker builds than what we practice today, but I'd really like to see this in practice or hear some debate about its merits (or lackthereof).
There's a button, "not interested". Click it. My youtube is mostly pretty nice. I get recommendations for cooking videos because I subscribe to and watch a couple of channels. I get recommendations for GDC videos, various programming videos. I mark videos as not interest often. And if there is something It think might give it the wrong idea I often right click and view in an incognito window. Have had very few issues keeping my youtube recommendations relatively clean, and I really enjoy some channels.

It's really saddening if you've been following the project for years. They had some good progress back when the Russian government got interested in ReactOS, but lately they seem to just be doing webdev stuff not directly related to improving ReactOS.

To the ReactOS devs: what's the deal with the last couple years of GSOC projects? Why is there little to no work going on to improve compatibilty?
In my experience, B is the smallest group of the four I listed, mostly only gamers and some creative professionals.

That being said, most of my experience is with consumers, not corporate IT. I still believe that consumers should be able to install from any source, and not pressured into using the MS Store. In corporate-land however, of course the user should have restricted rights.

As far as the state of mobile, isn't that supporting my point that moderating app stores is almost impossible unless you curate it yourself?

Edit: +1 for your comment though. It made me sit and think about things for a while, for which I thank you.
Glassdoor is extortion-as-a-service. They routinely called up two previous places I worked and offered to remove bad reviews if we paid them, which we declined. One of the bad reviews eventually became prominently featured. To be honest it wouldn't surprise me if they wrote the review themselves, that's how scummy I feel this company is.

Totally garbage business model, and if anyone reading this works there I hope you re-evaluate your life's purpose - you only get so many years and using them to help Glassdoor seems really terrible. What an ethically bankrupt piece of worthless trash that place is.

> OTOH, free speech is not a right on itself, but a tool for the betterment of society.

This is only true for censors. There is no such thing as a "right in itself," there are things we agree will be rights, and that we choose to guarantee. You choose to not guarantee freedom of speech, and rationalize it as some sort of natural law.
You happen across a skyscraper with a politically charged message on its façade that you disagree with.

You can either:

A) Paint over it.

B) Surround the entire space around the message with hundreds of other messages -- lies -- in the same style and color, designed to sway people to an opposing ideology.

The same effect has been achieved in both scenarios. Which is more insidious?

Literally everything on the home page is already possible with Facebook. Why use this?

Also, without any explicit monetization alternative other than advertising displayed, there's really no guarantee that this won't just devolve into the same thing as Twitter and Facebook.

Luckily, it's pretty easy to spot fake reviews on Glassdoor. Unfortunately though, it kind of ruins the experience for most people.

The two big mobile app stores have been flooded with spam reviews for over 5 years now unchecked. For those that know how to spot fake reviews, it's easy to tell which apps are not legit. For most consumers though, they just believe what they see.
Wow, this looks great! I'm a big fan of Azure DevOps for CI/CD, but I love the idea of something as powerful as Waypoint, but is open source and I can run it anywhere.

I wonder if it might be a good tool for deploying infrastructure too - I miss something simpler than Ansible.

I'll definitely be dabbling with it.

I was obsessed with social networks in my early career. Wanted to build a new one but felt it doesn't worth it.

I have a small observation which I can't explain it in a clear way (pardon my poor English). There are some designs that look desirable to work with. Things feel just right. I am not a designer, but I can feel it.

But something is wrong with openland design. The column in the middle is too wide. The font doesn't attract me to read it, it is like it is designed to look good, not for reading.

If this doesn't make sense to you, just dismiss it.
Is this true? I thought Yelp still did a decent job of moderating reviews.
Sounds like you are in dire need of a break!

Hello HN! I'm the founder of HashiCorp.

Waypoint is our 2nd day HashiConf announcement and I'm excited to share and talk about it! Compared to Boundary, Waypoint is definitely weirder, it's trying to do things differently. I'll be around here to answer any questions.

I think the most common question will be what is this and why? I cover that in detail on the intro page here so I recommend checking that out: https://www.waypointproject.io/docs/intro

Here are some major things Waypoint is trying to do:

* Make it easier to just deploy. If you're bringing a Ruby app to Kubernetes for example, Waypoint uses buildpacks and an opinionated approach to deploying that app for you to Kubernetes. You don't need to write Dockerfiles or any YAML. You can `waypoint up` and go. If you have existing workflows already, you can use a plugin that just shells out to `kubectl`. The important thing here is you get a common workflow "waypoint up" and your future apps should be much easier to deploy.

* Provide common debugging tools for deployments. Waypoint gives you `waypoint exec`, `waypoint logs`, etc. and these work on any platform Waypoint supports. So while K8S for example may provide similar functionality, you can now get identical behavior across K8S and serverless, or your VMs, etc.

* Build a common workflow that we can plugin other tools around. This is similar to Terraform circa 2015. There wasn't a consistent way then to think about "infrastructure management" outside of a single target platform's tools. With Waypoint, we're trying to do something similar but for the application deployment lifecycle.

As always, a disclaimer that Waypoint is a 0.1 and there is a lot we want to do! We have an exciting roadmap[1] that includes promotion, config syncing with KV stores, Vault and others, service brokering for databases, etc.

And also, lots of jokes about Otto in the comments here. :) I think Waypoint and Otto similarities end at "they both deploy" (and Otto with HEAVY quotes around "deploy"). They're totally different tools, one didn't inspire the other, though we did make some major changes to avoid Waypoint hitting the same pitfalls as Otto.

Super excited to share Waypoint today!

The only thing I can imagine they might be offering is redis that scales without the drawbacks of the official redis cluster sharding.

I don't know if that is what they're doing, but it's one possible thing they could be doing "better" (as in its an area that could be improved, not necessarily that it's fundamentally or technically possible/easy)
Censorship vs. Misinformation
There is no difference between censorship and culling "misinformation" without due process.

wasnt there a similar effort to convert all govt docs to the ODF or something like that. IIRC it was met with an overwhelming opposition from MSFT.
Quite interesting! I can see many benefits for leveraging your platform. Curious, how is the name pronounced? (I don't want to seem a fool as I mention this platform to my peers.) Is it pronounced similar to "look-yoo-que" or "loo-cook" or "look-uck"??? Thanks!
Thank you! Coming soon :)

Here's a thought experiment about a theoretical company that can obtain incredible valuation.

You start out with some money from friends and family, and you use this money to sell $100 bills for $50. Lots of takers.

Soon enough, you go to a VC and show them your revenue stream, and tell them with more capital you can make the margins much better. They hand you a few million, and you start selling more $100 bills for $70 instead. Wow, you're reducing margins and seeing insane sales growth!

A few more investments later and you're selling $100 bills for $95 en masse. You have ads everywhere, your IPO and ICO are coming up. You probably have a few billion in funding from SoftBank.

Your stock price skyrockets because you're THIS CLOSE to showing profitability and if the trend continues you'll be making billions.
Nothing like a extruder that is not user serviceable and only prints PLA. When I was told that my office went through several of those extruders, I took some year end left over funds and purchased a lulzbot (Taz5). As far as I know that thing is still doing the work they need it to do.

Great point and I think it is some kind of adaption or evolution, if you will.
If you stop reinvesting profits into R&D, the only other place to put your profit is paying out dividends to shareholders or doing things like buying back stock (which many companies start doing once they reach a point where shareholders will realize more value through dividends than they will from ROI on R&D).
