We've tested on a number of browsers but not often enough on some of them - like Firefox. We don't like all the data Chrome collects on it's users, but it makes up for the vast majority of usage on desktop and Android so it's important to test it most thoroughly on the most thoroughly used browser. We did the same on Safari which is a bit more private than Chrome, but not totally. We need to test more, perhaps something like browserstack needs to make it's way back into my toolchain.
Why would it say that? US astronauts landed on the moon in 1969 (Apollo 11). Tom Hanks starred in the movie Apollo 13, and the real life mission of Apollo 13 happened in 1970.
Here is a rough cost of standing up a Mac test fleet, corporate:

1. 200 Macs at $2-3k each; $500k total.

2. A data center, in the office, with $250k of retrofit.

3. A LAN network that can support 2Tbps cross talk; about $250k.

4. Data center control software; four engineers for a year @ 1M all-in.

So you’re talking about $2M just to turn the lights on for a data center test suite, and about $10k/Mac installed.

I’d guess $5k/yr is justified in just not having to write you own “EC2 for Mac” or deal with hybrid clouds.

I agree. We should evolve the IRC spec to support the modern requirements of common users. Then web clients are just an addition. Call it IRC2 or anything if it offends the original IRC nerds (which I'm part of)
I haven't seen anything in GSuite that holds a candle to Slack. Is there a slack-like view embedded in GSuite somewhere?
Google needs to buy Discord, do the gluey bits to integrate it into GSuite, shut down all its other chat offerings, and then let them do their thing.
Because there isn't a business model for decentralized social networking.

That post seems to be referring more to donating used books rather than buying a book for someone as a gift.

Seems like a different topic entirely to me, but maybe I'm missing something.

I work with small businesses, and 90% of the time, they are better served by running a few VMs in a 1U Xeon-powered rackmount Synology or the like.

Does it have a lot of compute power? No.

Is it dirt-simple to admin, and have enough horsepower to do the simple things like run a QuickBooks server on a Windows VM, Fileshare on another, test on a third, etc that is all they usually need? Absolutely!

It isn't uncommon at all that I make my initial IT inventory at a new client's business and find that they are spending hundreds to thousands/month unnecessarily in overblown costs, and AWS is a primary driver of that. A few kilobucks in to owned hardware, and the problem is essentially solved for a few years, and paid for in a few months. Everybody wins.

I thought of this, but one risk is that if you know they love the author, they probably already own the book. And if they don't love the author, you're back to "will they like my gift?".
I wonder if they will rename Slack to Chat Cloud.
I don't think this is true. You can't really join/leave channels on Discord (yes I'm aware you can use roles to give permissions but it's not the same).
Hi! Author here. Happy to answer any questions :)

A bit of shameless self-promotion, if I may: I've been working with No Starch Press to turn this into an actual book, and it's coming out within a couple of months! I'm going to update the website version soon, to reflect (heh) the much-improved quality of the text after months of editing. Stay tuned!
Thing is - not kids are the problem. The problem is 9-17 work so many companies force us into.

I can finish my work in 2h of my 8h workday. Just let me leave at 11am. I’ll have plenty time to learn new things, play with kids, get enough sleep, maintain a healthy social life.

TBH current covid situation is like a blessing for me. I don’t have to “be there”, my work is still done and I can finally spend some time with family.
I'm not sure there is a big enough market gap between something like Scratch, and Python to justify teaching this.
I remember learning programming using Pascal in middle school, and while I really liked the language (in many ways I still prefer it to C), my first lesson began by the teacher mentioning that Pascal is a language designed for learning programming in contrast to 'real' languages used in the industry.
This immediately made me think 2 things:
- If I want to be a cool kid, I'll have to move on to a 'big-boy' language like C.
- Any effort invested into learning Pascal is wasted, since it's only a tutorial for a 'real' language

Data Scientist/Engineer | Medical Devices Unit - NHS | Glasgow, UK | Full time | 2 year fixed term | £39,300 - £46,006 | Onsite or Remote

Apply here - https://apply.jobs.scot.nhs.uk/displayjob.aspx?jobid=38165&s...

Minimum qualifications:
* Experience of working with sensitive unstructured data, including data extraction and de-identification strategies and tools.
* Experience with one or more programming languages.
* Experience with machine learning and natural language processing.

Preferred qualifications:
* Experience of working within a team to develop and deploy a technical product, including experience with modern source control and task management tools.
* Experience of working with healthcare data and under associated governance frameworks.
* Experience of medical device development and associated regulatory frameworks.

About the job:
The Medical Devices Unit (MDU) prototype and develop bespoke medical devices, (including electronic, informatics, mechanical and software devices) to meet the needs of the NHS in Scotland. Working in line with industry standards and an evolving regulatory framework, the MDU also provide guidance on the development of medical devices and evaluate new technologies being considered for use within the NHS.

We are looking for a data scientist/engineer to join the team and help us to support a Scottish Government initiative aimed at transforming eye-care services across Scotland. You will bring knowledge and experience of applying and evaluating natural language processing tools (including rule-based and machine learning techniques) to help us to extract valuable clinical information from unstructured clinical data. You will have the technical expertise to help build data pipelines to facilitate the extraction, evaluation and transfer of data held by individual health boards to a new centralised repository managed by the National Digital Service. This is an opportunity for a self-motivated individual to contribute to a transformative healthcare improvement project that will benefit people across Scotland.
This is quite frankly ludicrous, and speaks to an unintentionally humorous pomposity.

It's quite literally impossible to estimate the potential utility of another persons leisure time. But part of the joy of gift giving is trying to figure out what they might enjoy. Just as part of the social game of gifting is to see what others think you might like. It's a way of opening up to new experiences granted by people who know you. Ideally scaffolding perspectives and pleasures that appeal but were outside what you'd normally enjoy. An unread book can always be regifted, and it takes a sociopath to regard a gifted book as an insult.

Sure, if your goal is to maximise the utility of every moment algorithmically, this might seem wasteful. But you're also very likely not any fun at all, and have few people to gift.
It also had an open ecosystem.

Oh my god. I never knew this had a name, but it very much fits my behavior. I crave solitude and control over my own time and attention, and the only time to get that is while the rest of my timezone sleeps.
You’d think, but alas too often cries of “open web” is just nerds virtue signalling to each other, longing for those Good Old Days when they controlled the world. The vast closed Twitbook silos of today, philosophical awful as they are, are still massively more empowering to the 99% than that old primitivist WWW where you really needed a technical degree just to publish at all.

This is not just me saying this: it’s the 99% saying it too. Because while they may not know how to express it in technical terms, they have already voted with their feet.

So say what you like about the horrors of Twitbook, but at least they managed to unify [their] publishing with [their] consumption, making one as easy and transparent as the other. And they managed to do it even within the crippled confines of the first, botched Web. Meanwhile the geekocracy does little past sit on its ass whining about how terribly unfair it all is. As if life was a game of cricket!

.

If “open web” geeks really truly want to change the world, they need to start by recognizing where FANG(T) are ahead, and why they got ahead like that, and then figure how to generalize and commoditize what FANG(T) got right, and build that back into the basic building blocks of the Web—blocks which nobody owns, and which nobody can own. 30 years late, admittedly, but still better late than never.

And the first step of that has to be the full and seamless unification of web-read and web-write. Because until the fundamental read and write functionality works right, there isn’t even any point in trying to fix the broken discovery (search) and the broken interop (content negotiation) and all the other brokenness that subsequently evolved on top of that. Because without simple seamless zero-effort read+write in place, no-one except the geeks will be able (or want) to use it. And Web 1.0 already did that, and look where it got us.

So there are really only two things that prevent such a reboot: geeks who cannot imagine a Web that works so fundamentally unlike everything they’ve learned and grown accustomed to, and geeks who cannot imagine a Web over which they have no more control than anyone else. And nobody can fix that problem but the geeks themselves.
That’s somewhat the solution irccloud provides, however they need a mobile app. I think the biggest issue with irc is the backlog. It’s somewhat nice to be able to easily search a companies chat history and find some context. The solution to that is correct documentation, however that problem is much harder.
Thanks, this is a genuinely good blog post. Not too long, not too complex, informative, cited, and with real-world applicability.
What if you added an index to the row-oriented database? Then how would it compare to a column-oriented one?
I think those are great questions to ask actually, my only real answer here is that, one should be very aware of the fact that this current stage is temporary (both for my sanity, as well as for a perspective of cherishing it). As others have said and you already know, the first couple of years of a kid is the toughest for parents. It gets better from there and I know I'll get more free time back pretty much as soon as she starts school, and I'll have more and more free time as she grows older gradually. By the time she's in high school I'll probably have just as much free time as before having kids.
Same. I’ve been in places that self host and it’s not nearly enough to overcome what AWS (in my case Azure) charge. 99.5% uptime in contracts lets you realistically have a lot of downtime to fix your problems. That’s more than 400 hours of acceptable downtime. We’re in the process of making the switch and we project to pay 30% of what we’re currently paying.
Yes there are lots of competitors, including ones specialized for various industries. In finance there is Symphony, which along with being less infantile and more straight-laced than Slack also offers integrations with financial information products like factset.

I bought a set of diamond sharpening plates this summer after having had a cheap Arkansas stone for several years.

Night and day difference.

I can actually get things sharp quickly and consistently now.

Since we're on the topic of gifts, if someone out there is thinking of a sharpening setup as a gift, can't recommend diamond plates highly enough.

I bought a 300 / 600 / 1200 grit set off Amazon for I think $100

Yes, and I realize that maybe my comment about Wyze is harsh——I think it is a FANTASTIC thing that more companies are making these things (and getting the price down!). I just think from a business point of view the smart watch business is all about the top end, because the real estate is so valuable, literally on top of someone 24/7, that the focus should be on how much value can you deliver to that person, and target a 1% of their income price point (hopefully delivering a much greater benefit than 1%). But absolutely, this is an awesome development, to have a $20 smart watch, and I agree if Wyze is getting more people wearing these things, that will be a huge win for the world.
I think there's a legitimate distinction between Google returning a list of links in response to "Find me all the holocaust denial stuff" and google presenting a single authoritative answer to questions. Google isn't saying "here is what everyone thinks, sorted by relevance", Google is saying "Here is what everyone thinks, but first let me tell you what I think, and I think X".
Your examples all speak to attending superficially to another persons request or interests, then half assedly following through. My parents did the same thing, alas.

Part of knowing something about knives is in selecting the right tool(s) for the users. I'm not going to buy a 200mm gyuto for my parents; I got them a set of [chef's knife, bread knife, paring knife] that is miles better than what they had and still holds up well because I know it's only going to be sharpened when I come to visit.

Our idea at the moment is to act like reddit ads do. Advertisers essentially make a post without anything more than a title, description, image / video and a url, with the image / video hosted and scrubbed by us. This will most definitely take careful design but your point is valid. Right now it's a delicate balance of not getting ahead of ourselves but also not setting ourselves up for failure due to poor planning.

I wonder if the daily HN article about Apple failing to be secure is a result of 1 OS, 1 phone. Where as no one is going to put the effort to find an exploit on a phone with 1% market share.

> Startups have no credibility anymore to potential employees

Startups that have zero revenue and jacked up to their tits with investor money should have no credibility.
Element.ai was in toronto and it was the talk of the town of the amount of funding they got with almost no revenue. And no one exactly knew what they were doing.

Their investors got the short end of the stick. Unfortunately its a human behavior that the most loud mouthed charismatic people will get the grease and will be funded while thousands of more deserving startups with real revenues and business models will die in a ditch due to lack of funding.
