I do wonder what atlassian do some days with their cloud offerings. I find they tend to muck about with the UI more than fixing bugs or new features. I tend to find we have downtime with pipelines a lot as well.

Jira is ok, it can be slow. Confluence seems to be playing catch-up with notion.

If I were to start a startup, I'd probably avoid atlassian.
Cuprate superconductors were discovered by Bednorz and Müller at IBM in Zurich in 1986. They got the Nobel for it the next year. The physics Nobel the previous year also went to researchers at IBM Zurich, for the invention of atomic force microscopy.

> All these animated gifs and visitor counters were not here to convey valuable information but rather to make the website more popular.

One of my websites (for my first startup - an ISP) used a server side include that called out to ping the client IP to inline either a static image or one of several "big" - by 1997 standards - animated GIFs by guessing at the client bandwidth based on ping time (yes, it was a very rough heuristic, but it worked surprisingly well at the time), because we wanted to be able to serve up a fancy animated logo to those whose connection could handle it...

If we could have served up something fancier we certainly would have.

> standing in the snow barefoot for up to 30 min and lying bare chested in the snow for 20 min; daily dipping/swimming in ice-cold water (0–1 °C) for up to several minutes (including complete submersions); and hiking up a snowy mountain (elevation: 1,590 m) bare chested, wearing nothing but shorts and shoes at temperatures ranging from −5 to −12 °C

These tasks sound so extraordinary to me, to the point where it is hard for me to believe there are not negative consequences. I mean, frostbite is a real thing. What about hypothermia? It seems there are serious risks to just going out and doing these things. I'm fascinated by Wim Hof but it seems the risks are not getting enough attention, unless the risks don't really exist, in which case there are a lot of myths out there.

I left this comment earlier because it seems like there are genuine risks to this sort of thing, but I must be wrong since no one is highlighting them:

Not just a developer. A developer that's clued up in business needs, can communicate (listen, clarify, translate technical concepts), has a smattering in finance to promote cost, time and/or quality savings they make. And the company needs a succession plan should such a person not turn up.

This tech is available to private corporations, and almost to individuals. If you've called a solar company to get an estimate recently, they have full 3-D LIDAR maps of your house from orbit. They can map out the trees down to the branch level and then model how much sunlight will hit a given spot on your roof if you trim them. I was on the phone with a sales rep from LG yesterday and it was a bit surreal: I knew she was looking at a satellite image of my house, so I was like "We're planning to cut that whole branch off the middle tree that's shading the south roof of our house, and we're going to thin the branches of the corner tree" and she could follow along.

Much of this is also available to private citizens on Google Maps too - my home is not visible from the street, so when we were buying it, we used the satellite imagery to determine how big a back yard it had, how much parking was available, roughly how big the decks were, and we could even see the previous owner's patio furniture.
lol, I have to agree with SEO spam. I tried looking for a good pasta sauce recipe lately. I remembered something recommended by Pocket, which was amazing (Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking), but it didn't even show up in the first few Google search pages for pasta. None of the results were even a variation of the superior recipes.

The top search result has 9 (!) ads, mentions the book, but butchers everything that makes the recipe good. It shows rave reviews and a rating of 4.8. It probably is better than what everyone's mom taught them, and better compared to a generic tin can sauce. But I think the old school algorithm of "best selling cookbook" does better.

Try looking for other heavily SEO-ed things and it's even more hopeless: weight loss, business advice, games.

It looks like one can have that in Linux with MAP_LOCKED (which implies MAP_POPULATE per https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Eic93Q...).
I use both Windows and Linux, and I am aware things like this will happen to my Windows installation. What I don’t understand is how anyone willfully using Windows can be surprised by this. Anyone with a minor amount of tech knowledge should know this is the way Windows 10 works by now. People who write technical news articles should definitely not be surprised, so I’m assuming they’re feigning surprise for the sake of writing an article about it.

What I’m trying to say is, if you use Windows you accept that you’re using a walled garden. If you don’t want to, use Linux, or use both. But what’s the point of driving activism towards change? There’s already options if you care, and it’s not like any of the two models are completely without flaws.

More Than 200M Americans Could Have Toxic PFAS in Their Drinking Water
That is one of those sentences in an article where you wonder...

"Did the author know very little about the subject, or does he know exactly what he has written?"
I've seen this pattern across hundreds of founder interviews I've analyzed. [1] First, they start building some kind of "media brand". Here, the OP started blogging on Medium & guest blogged for a ROR startup blog. He got to ~30k views/month across all of his articles (probably 99% of the came through them ranking in search). He then used that audience, linked to his new e-learning platform on some of them, and easily got to 1000 new signups.

This reminds me of Ghost.org (they're currently making $250k+/mo [2]) and how John O'Nolan (the founder) got started:

"My blog had a few thousand subscribers who were the first to be notified when I wrote the original idea post. That post had an email signup form which generated about 30k subscribers interested in finding out if it would ever become a reality, and those 30k people were the first to find out when the Kickstarter campaign launched." source: [2]

Many devs who want to eventually start their own SaaS/mobile app overlook this. Build an audience via blogging/tweeting/writing and then use that audience to launch/test your "startup". This way you won't have to go and "beg" people to cover you (via emailing/spamming publications, journalists, other influencers and so on.) The other reason that this seems to work is because information can be (in many cases) easier to promote/get coverage for than some black-box, software-based tool you've made (the exception here is the so-called "engineering as marketing", where people make a small/useful/straightforward tool that people get an immediate value from.)

Why do they need to compare their own culture with something that's long gone? We don't live the way our ancestors did, listen to the whole other kinds of music, enjoy completely different things and speak different dialects of the languages they had.

In the grand scheme of things the lack of ads or javascript is as irrelevant now as those times when you had to go to the post office to wish someone a happy birthday halfway across the country.
You should be able to experience the slowness for yourself by spending a few minutes using your product. Then try something like notion or pretty much any other web app and notice how your blood pressure drops and your stress levels decrease.

It is not a particular area it is the whole thing. Every interaction makes me want to gouge my own eyes out. It's a glorified text area with a menu, why should every click cause dozens of requests that take more than 10 seconds to complete?

I can only conclude Atlassian engineering is utterly disfunctional for this to have gone on so long unimproved.
> But we should be honest about the shortcomings. Desktop Linux is not secure and you only have privacy if you trust all of your applications.

No operating system is secure when it comes to installing untrusted applications. The strength of desktop Linux is the vast amounts of available free and open-source software, ergo software that you can actually trust. To my knowledge, no other OS beats that - usually you can't even trust your OS itself these days.

Plus we already have a universally supported sandboxing technology, it's our web browser. I can use Microsoft's software inside a Firefox container when I'm forced to, without giving them access to my home folder, keystrokes/mouse events, etc. Even better, half of the requests those things would make are blocked by uBO.
CCPA exists.
I agree the excel is great for cleansing or processing small/medium sized data sets. It's great for comparing two or more data sets too. The thing that makes it great for these things is visual editing, and the ease of setting up formulas. This also makes it dangerous in business critical processes because it allows too great a surface for mistakes.

There's also the issue that they're often set up as an ad hoc analysis only to become a process carried out on a schedule. This gets particularly bad when macros are involved - especially when they're password protected.

Gamedev needs on-site VCS - we just have far too much VCS traffic for general internet links to handle. I mean, maybe you can build a microwave link directly to a datacenter Atlassian is using to host bitbucket... but no. To be fair, gamedev typically uses p4, not git, so maybe this doesn't have much impact there.

Gamedev still sometimes resorts to at least partially airgapped networks, which is going to make VCS <-> JIRA integration a pain. I wonder if this will finally cause JIRA to get replaced in gamedev.

Yes, it's like that out of the box. The next gen stuff offers no improvement whatsoever.
Having consulted in large enterprises, the main reason spreadsheets exist: A knowledge worker needs some form of automation support to do the job.

Choices are:

(a) spend a day drafting a rough spreadsheet, then over the next months tinker with it making it a bit better, more efficient and add more relevant functionalities.

(b) put in a formal project request to IT. This will be put into the backlog, and most probably classified as non priority unless there is some lobbying from people with clout to 'get this done'. When accepted, usually months or even years later, it will be analyzed at length by a business analyst that is unfamiliar with the problems that need to be solved, handed over to a programmer (or worse, an external contract) that will implement something that will have 30 assumptions filling the holes in the analysis, be accepted by the analyst and then thrown over to the poor user that will have to figure out if something, anything relevant to the job can be done with it. The user can start asking for corrections or rewrites, but since most of the operation is CYA from start to finish has a high chance of being berated for 'wasting the companies resources' (after all, this project that could have been done in a day with a spreadsheet has now already cost the org 200k or more in the least, a significant amount of that went to the IT dept's internal platform rewrites that they are desperate to do but never get budget for from the business) and with high probability land the user on the 'difficult/nagging' people list of the IT dept.

Every few years the enterprise will launch an initiative to 'clean up all our processes', typically when a new key manager moves in with 'friendly' IT contractors that he was palls with at his previous place, and they'll start with an inventory of all the 'shadow IT' (spreadsheets, Access DB solutions, homebrew VB programs, some SaaS stuff ...) in order to purge and consolidate all onto the shiny new ERP/BPM/... platfrom that was sold to the CxO. The new platform a few dozen million dollars later will (if successful) deliver maybe 33% of the required functionality, and the users can either 'let the business fail to show the nobheads that it is an impossible system to run the business on' or, more likely, keep using their spreadsheets and other quick fix solutions to keep the business running despite.
I am a bit surprised that most people recommend to charge more.
What I've seen in B2B SaaS is e.g. 2.5% discount every double capacity. So if you charge them 16 times more than your typical customer you give 10% discount. But this highly depends on your situation and SLAs.
Assuming they're accusations (not convictions), the question is what's the pattern? Is it a pattern of criminal behaviour, or is it police bias/somebody systematically accusing this person for whatever reason? Aggregating multiple not guilty verdicts and/or cases that weren't perused into something that results in criminal sanctions is dubious, and in some sense may invert the burden of proof (you now have to show the allegations against you are _false_ to challenge them, rather than just showing guilt hasn't been proven).

The only reason mobile devices don't swap to disk is that they invariably use bottom-of-the-barrel eMMC for storage, which can't handle the wear and tear of swapping. That has nothing to do with the performance implications of swapping "cold" memory pages to disk.

I had the privilege to take a linear programming course with Bill, back when he still taught at the University of Waterloo. He spent some time discussing the TSP. TSP solving methods are very interesting, and the techniques used here essentially boil down to setting up an appropriate linear program (albeit with a large number of constraints relative to the number of nodes) and then using duality to obtain accuracy certificates.

The research group maintains an excellent webpage with many resources about the TSP [1]. They have also developed an app (Concorde TSP) [2] which provides really good graphical representation of the algorithm. There is an iOS app as well under the same name which has a nice interface.

> That assertion makes zero sense if we take into account that parallelization is one of the most basic performance techniques there is

I would not support that stance. There are areas where parallelization is helpful, like numerical weather models, graphics, and scientific number crunching, but for by far the most cases, parallelization is anything but trivial and requires a pretty deep knowledge about things like the C++ memory models, what read-write barriers, locks, and fences are, and so on. Less than 1% of C++ programmers can really handle that. And apart from that this is an area where other languages like Rust, Clojure, Scala have a strong point, because whether it is done correctly is completely implicit in a C++ program while in Rust, many errors will have the result that your program does not compile. Debugging the same mistakes in C++ will make you pull your hair.

In fact, I'd urge anyone who wants to learn principles of safe concurrent computation in C++, to learn Rust, Clojure and Scala first, they are wonderful languages with strong, highly coherent concepts, and it will make you a much better C++ programmer even if you never use them again.

Of course it is not only possible but common practice to implement parallel computation in games and such in C++, but this is not the standard application of C++.
A good friend of mine had the chance to see such a van while working for the French Navy. The operator even showed him a (somewhat blurry) real-time view of my friend's Mac desktop in the building next door... (This happened in the early 90s in Toulon arsenal).
It takes a few minutes to find a setting that postpones those updates. Compare this to hours I have spent to install anything as complicated as graphics drivers on Ubuntu. Besides, I hate command line since my MicroVAX days.

An anti-virus was the first thing anyone installed on their PCs in the 2000s. I think we would soon see a similar trend for Mobile devices.

Woefully enough, a lot of anti-virus vendors instead are now among some of the worst offenders in terms of not respecting their user's privacy. Their privacy policies are a stuff of nightmares.

Have no issues moving to tsoHost if I will have the same features as before.

What I need is SSH, run python apps from crontab, unlimited domains, emails, have 2x static websites and one on WordPress, and 10x python apps running from crontab. I am not sure what I will have with tsoHost.

Do not want to run my own VPS (like Linode or DigitalOcean) because then I have to manage updates, down time, backups, etc.I have an idea to use AWS for Python crontab apps, but I need to first understand how to do it, which would take some time.

Basically I want SSH access with a lot of customization, but that somebody else does the management :-).

From my investigation https://www.opalstack.com/ look like the best option.

Any advice ?

This is probably a dick move that will cost Atlassian quite a bit in the future.

For starters, the on-prem version is way faster than their cloud offering. We recently had this experience and their cloud version is nice and everything... But it's slow. Damn. Slow. Everything is slow. The UI is slow. Network requests are slow. Hardly bearable.
You remind me that this exact setup was proposed to me before, and as a solution it's possiblely the most appealing of all. Except for cost, and as an unnecessary but fun distraction, gaming.
