Exactly this. Teams is only successful in environments where the end-users don't have a say in which tools to use and have no choice but to use whatever's handed down from IT.

In most environments where the end-users actually make the decisions, Teams is not a thing.

Agree on TypeScript, but Angular (at least when I last used it back in the v2-4 days) was very quirky. It felt like you had to know a lot about it's internals and the change detection mechanisms to make things work performantly, and if you needed to opt out of its model and dip into lower-level DOM manipulation code then that was quite a headache. I've found React to be a much more boring technology where everything just works.
Solar telescope releases its first image of a sunspot
The JVM is vastly underestimated. I think the root cause is an image problem, stemming from a combination of bad programming practices in the past (getter/setter bloat, Factories for everything and unnecessary object orientation) and heavy and outdated frameworks such as Spring, JSF and others.
There's a big disconnect between many organizations that use libraries, compilers and tools from OS packages on stable Linux distributions, and the HN/SV crowd that uses docker, or pip/npm/go get/cargo even on production.

Houston, we have missed the point.

There is no command to undo a "git stash pop" on a dirty workspace.

How did the author write so much wordage without mentioning this?
I don’t think there is a limit on how much you can discuss a subject. Everybody has an opinion and PoV.

We always can discuss it a little bit longer
I mean, it's basically what I wrote above. You used the exact same title as the McKinley's article, the same Maslow's pyramid visualization as their presentation, and went through their basic points in the same order.

This meant there was a major feeling of deja vu, it didn't feel like a particularly original take on the subject. Maybe the feeling would not have been there if it had been more obvious. I.e. titled something like "My take on 'Choose Boring Technology'", the link moved to the opening paragraph, and explicitly stating that you were reframing that original article in terms of your own experience.

(But to to repeat, I'm not claiming that anything untoward happened here).
I've tried pretty much everything aside from prescription stimulants (can't get them)... The only things that work is some stuff I can get without prescription (tolerance is a bitch, though) and exercise.

Even after exercising, I feel good but I still can barely concentrate on anything, I have to always bring my attention back "manually", for lack of a better word.
Maybe, I just feel like it shouldn't matter for anyone if you remember their kids names, unless it's your brothers or sisters kids or your own kids. Not remembering a cousins kids names in my family would be a minor faux pas, but I have like... dozens of cousins in two continents, so it's not a big deal. Not remembering a friends kids name should never be an issue IMO. Even much less so with birthdays.

But we're all entitled to our own opinions. I suppose I am just way more easy-going than some of the people here.
Huh the author claims low density living is more sustainable, but I don’t see how that’s supported by the underlying paper (Lenzen et al. 2004). It presents some interesting (albeit unsurprising) findings, e.g., energy use positively correlates with income, larger households generally require less energy per capita, etc., but it doesn’t make any statements as to whether dense or non-dense living is more preferable from an environmental standpoint.

Also, haven’t been to Australia in 15+ years but can you really make an argument either for or against dense cities by comparing different parts of Sydney? Central Tokyo is dense, NYC is dense, Singapore is dense. Sydney seemed medium density at most in comparison.
You didn't want to just share your perspective, you know this subject is popular on HN and you are brute force publishing your article until it reaches the front page (its the 4th time you are posting the link) in order to create an audience for the product your are selling.

The benefits are calculable, but the consequences of abuse are unpredictable, and if someone has crossed your boundary once, you don't know how far they will go.

With the abusive relationship example, if someone's gone as far as snoop through your phone and text your friends without your knowledge, there is no telling what they'll do next. It's common for someone who does this to also be a verbal and physical abuser, which is rarely worth sticking it out for, regardless of how well-connected they are.

With the specific LinkedIn example, they may e.g. sell your data to third parties, leak your data publicly via irresponsible data storage, and allow employees to access your data without authorization. Not to mention spamming your entire contact list with LinkedIn invitations in your name.

Is that worth it to you in exchange for some networking?

I don't know, is that really true? Slack organises messages by channel and you can absolutely mute channels, prioritise them, control notifications etc. As for work/life, I saw people complain about that but you see people say the same about email. I think honestly it's sometimes the person wanting to complain. I have Slack on my phone. It's set to never send any notifications to me at all. I use it every six months or so, if I need to look something up or send a message on the move. Otherwise I'm on Slack when I'm at my desk and never at other times. No problem. Work/life balance has always been fine.

I've used Slack and Office 365 for the last five years and honestly find Slack better in almost every way, even to Outlook. Yes, Slack isn't the ideal chat app. Yes, it's stagnated and has no vision for where it wants to go. Yes once it finished cloning IRC and Skype they ran out of ideas. All true. But Office/Outlook 365/Teams is just so terrible. For years the Outlook Mac client struggled with the basics of formatted text! Groups are weirdly different to mailing lists, threading doesn't work properly, search? Forget it. People know how to create Slack channels but don't know how to create and manage Office groups so everything is just giant ad-hoc CC lists. Forget being able to classify messages by topic or importance because nothing is organised to begin with. Forget joining a conversation half way through and having access to earlier messages/files. It's an experience straight out of 1985.

But Microsoft is still crushing Slack: we're due to migrate off Slack to Teams in the new year. The sole driving reason is cost. We're not a big firm but Slack now costs the equivalent of a full time senior software engineer for us. Teams is "free" because business people consider Excel and PowerPoint non-negotiable. Microsoft is winning by market dumping in effect: it's IE vs Netscape all over again.

I think Slack could survive and thrive even competing against free, frankly. People do pay for products even when there are free alternatives. And so far everyone in the Teams migration trial seems to love Slack and hate Teams. Slack's problem is it has a massively bloated cost base. It's a freaking chat app, how on earth do they have 12 million customers paying such high prices and still lose money? It's abundantly obvious that they suffered the same investor-driven Dutch Disease that every other Valley startup seems to suffer from, where money is free so they feel obliged to take it and spend it. Slack's costs feel totally out of proportion to what it actually does, so of course they're going to get smacked by Microsoft. If Slack cost $10 per person per year instead of per month they'd be in a far better competitive position.
What? I'm not sure how that has anything to do with remembering a friend's kids names or remembering people's birthdays.

I drive with nav on if I'm going somewhere unfamiliar, but only bc I live in a kind of large city and I'd like to know if there are any traffic problems or construction on one of the streets I'm taking.
To mention another benefit of JVM: flexibility.

We had a very complex application that would take care of hundreds of events per second, doing all sorts of calculations on top of that. It would get stuck frequently in GC cycles due to huge number of objects processed in memory and developers unconstrained resource usage.

We switched it to ZGC, only by changing startup options, and the application was like a brand new thing. Very responsive and zero GC issues.

Rewriting it in C++/Rust would take many months and even more $$$, and no one could guarantee it would work better.
“Investment into education” translates into stupid politicians dumping more money into the status quo with no indication that this will better their own metrics (which are mostly irrelevant in the first place as they don’t teach any useful cognitive skills).
Sure. I'm not trying to shut down the discussion, or flag this as a dupe, or anything like that. It's more of a PSA that if anyone finds this subject interesting and wants more, there's a thousand HN comments already written on it.
For me LinkedIn is a bottomless pit of despair sprinkled with UX mistakes. As a professional in my field I don't have time to participate, optimise content, post my views and loose my soul in virtual networking. If I want to invest my time in writing and sharing I will make a blog post. Better ROI. Better audience filter. Better everything.
Antioxidants prevent health-promoting effects of physical exercise (2009) [pdf]
This isn't really much of a case of publish or perish - the two senior authors, to wit, are tenured, established, and very well off. They could each not write a paper for the rest of their careers and be fine. It's really a case of having a small idea - which, upon deeper examination, doesn't really work - and selling it way too hard. The (senior) authors should know better.
With some variations, this setup describes my entire career as software engineer so far. Reading Hackernews, for the longest time, I had this lingering feeling of knowing nothing or not the right things.

Now, I know that my experience isn't just the norm for a great number of developers, at least in Europe, but also a reasonable choice. If there is no need to do something fancy, don't do something fancy. Not in a professionell business environment. There are zero upsides for the business.
I'm the exact same way. And that should be fine. I don't have kids but I have three brothers who all have kids. I know their first names, and most of their middle names. I don't know all their birthdays. That's fine. I recently asked so I could put their birthdays in my calendar.

But even my best friends, people I've known and lived with before, wouldn't expect me to remember details about their kids. That's just weird, man.

May I ask why? Is it because Kotlin doesn't bring much new to the table besides fixing a few minor annoyances with Java? I have the same feeling, but can't put my finger on why exactly Kotlin seems unnecessary, except that it's a modern language that doesn't have union types.
Fortunately no specific certifications are required. So it was mostly writing policies and ensuring best practices that met HIPAA controls in the beginning.

Sometimes the regulatory route works in the US. We had our main business phone line go down and Verizon customer service basically shrugged their shoulders and said there was nothing they could do and no way to escalate. One call to the state regulator and not only did they fix the phone line within a couple hours, they begged us to tell them what they could do to make the regulatory complaint go away. We told them we'd like access to FIOS but had always been told fiber wasn't on our street and wasn't going to be. Three weeks later, fiber was run down the entire street and we were hooked up to gigabit internet. That roll out can't have been cheap for them.

Replace them with good habits. It's actually almost impossible to eliminate habits. Especially long-standing ones. The best you can do is avoid the cue or change the routine. I highly suggest reading "The Power Of Habit" or "Atomic Habit."
I work at largish company (13k employees worldwide), and a couple of years ago there was a fair amount of Slack (admittedly mainly free tier) being used ad hoc around the company. Then word came down from up high that the company was standardizing on a single chat platform and that platform was Teams. Now there is basically no Slack being used (and certainly no paid Slack) any more.

The main argument was that Slack for 13k employees was incredibly expensive, while Teams was 'free' and already integrated into most of their infrastructure.
I know someone who had trouble finding a job for a couple of years after taking time off to have children. Right before covid hit she took a class on using LinkedIn to find a job. Initially she was going to wait until covid was over, but circumstances forced her to start looking right in the middle of the first covid wave. She applied what she learned from the LinkedIn class, and had a job within two weeks.

I'm not sure what point the first paragraph in your response is trying to make, but all I was trying to say is it's OK to not remember details like this. Especially when it's someone else's kids, someone else's birthday - exterior to your own family.

Don't fret forgetting things. My dad has mixed up my name and my brothers names constantly since probably before I was born 31 years ago :). He's an older man now, almost 70, but I don't think his name mix-ups began because of any age-related mental decline.
If it's true that there's no real difference in libraries between 4.7 and 2.1, that makes me even more sure I made the right choice. I skipped a load of stress, and didn't even miss any important new knowledge.
Microsoft is allowed to make more than one product. Microsoft is not allowed to use abuse their market dominance in one product to help them capture another market, with harm to the consumer.

For example, this is why Microsoft was sued for antitrust in 2001. Microsoft was alleged to have used its market power in OEM operating systems (Windows) to sell its browser (Internet Explorer) through bundling. Microsoft settled with the DOJ.

You could allege that in this case, Microsoft is doing the same thing — using market power in office software to sell unrelated chat software. This practice is harming competitors to such a degree that they seek to be acquired by other companies. It's also telling that HN regards Slack as a better product than Teams. The resulting decrease of competition is detrimental to the consumer.

Maybe you want to argue that Teams is being provided for free, so this is better for the consumer. While that nominally might be true, Microsoft must pay for development on Teams somehow. Consumers are likely paying higher prices than if Teams was not being developed. And even if they aren't, we still should consider how bundling can lead to consolidation.

Small claims can work with some companies, but others simply laugh at County Court Judgements.

The hard part isn't winning - which is easy if you have even a minimally credible case - it's enforcement.

If the company ignores the judgement you have to go back to court to get an enforcement order. And then you'll have to engage a collections company and/or a bailiff. And if they seize goods to the value of because they can't extract a payment, you won't be paid until the goods are auctioned off.

To a company turning over millions, a one-off claim for a few hundred is barely worth noticing. From their POV you're barely a flea bite, and of course most people will give up on a claim without much of a fight. So naturally they're going to try that first.

The other point is that most people you deal with don't care either way. They'll follow the company script, because the outcome - and your inconvenience - mean nothing to them.

That's only true on Linux and other systems where the kernel has been written in C. On some platforms the kernel provides no backwards compatibility guarantees and that means backwards compatibility is handled by libc. This means C is enshrined into the platform and often the path of least resistance.

There was also a pure Rust Wayland binding that failed because Wayland assumes that you are using C semantics which made it hard to provide a safe interface for Rust that was also convenient.
I think if one has paid attention to how many different entities Bell Labs has come under through mergers and acquisitions (and the fate of those parent companies), it's shocking why anyone would think the 1950s/1960s/1970s reputation should be applied to the present entity.

That's not to say that M&A automatically (or significantly dilutes) the value of the research arm of a commercial organization.
