I used to have a boss who took this logic to an extreme and basically preached “always buy, never build”

Problems mounted - cost, security, integration issues, performance, ... - we couldn’t do anything about any of that, because we just wrote glue code to combine all the SaaS stuff.

I think about that job from time to time and I have two theories as to why this guy was like this - a) lack of trust/knowledge his engineers can build stuff, b) bragging about using a shiny-new-tech is better than talking about writing a Python script that saves data to Postgres.

All in all - good points in the article, but there is more to the decision (as hinted in the summary), building stuff is not just about scratching one’s itch.
It would be nicer if it resized with the browser but such that it fits inside the viewport, instead of cutting off after "semantic" regardless of how big the viewport is set.
This wasn't a could have, this was a going to be a millionaire in 5 years. No school costs THAT much. I'd have dropped out immediately and hired someone who DID know wtf they were doing.
If you assume you can ignore the hard parts, the problem becomes easier, I guess. You still need to know initial conditions to impossible accuracy.
This is what I mean. The comment I would have expected to see on HN goes something like:

* This is not true because <some sound logic or data source>

Instead, you just wrote that I'm naive and pretty much left it at that.

Why does this topic make you do that?

I think most of the value of Slack was cultural rather than technological. It was in getting people to discover/communicate via these abstractions of channels rather than point to point. This provides a lot of value in a company when you don’t know the specific person to talk to or want to talk to a group rather than one person.

EDIT: It also allows bystanders to learn from or keep abreast of the conversation.

However, this cultural practice can be easily transferred to another tool.

As an external observer, Slack seemed to have various issues that prevented it from innovating further.

One was lack of vision of how to innovate further. I think this often happens when someone stumbles onto an idea. They don’t have deep reasoning or conviction of where to go further.

Another issue is that they seemed to have other cultural preoccupations for a time. Look at the cultural discussions brewing when their growth was exploding. They have since stepped back from that but I think it slowed them down.

I don’t think these helped when you have a competitor that can integrate their entire suite of products into their chat system while effectively selling the chat for free. Slack didn’t even integrate as well or as quickly.

Slack wasn’t innovating enough to not be overtaken.
I just keep pointing out that this is, in fact, how vaccines work, and hoping for the best.

To whom it may concern: vaccines simulate the process triggered in the immune system by recovery from infection. They don't float around in your body for years: they create immunity the same way the disease itself does. More or less: obviously you don't get sick!

Which is great, I hadn't been that sick in ten years, it was pretty awful. Please get vaccinated if you haven't gotten COVID. If you have, well, maybe you want to do it just in case? I do not.

A lot of misinformation out there...

It’s also absolutely the opposite of my experience. I’ve met a bunch of Swedes, Norwegians, Finns and Danes and they are some of the most sophisticated and cynical folks I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

Perhaps the particularly dry brand of Scandinavian pragmatic irony is lost on pg because pg is too earnest to notice that they’re on the other side of a zetetic event horizon.
I think you had great boss (assuming he did not start timer each time you stopped typing on keyboard). Those endless meetings become unproductive pretty fast. I suspect that in big part they become a self sustained cancer used to justify time and salaries of unproductive company members.

As for the subject itself: frankly I do not see any advantage of hosting on say Azure over hosting myself. Either requires a good deal of maintenance. And no you can not really rely on Azure doing it for you.

Uptime for me is probably just as good on my servers as each one I have in my office also has ready to use up to date shadow copy located elsewhere. Azure is way more expensive of course.

The amount of hardware/processing power I have on my own server would cost me a fortune to have on Azure. Scalability does not matter much either because:

I am not Google and do not have to serve the rest of the world.

On top of that my servers are usually high performance native C++ applications that can handle thousands of requests per second sustainably and without breaking a sweat.

Vertical scalability with modern CPUs and multilevel storage is absolutely insane.

One quibble with your phrasing. Spacetime is expanding. Inflation is a word reserved for the idea of a period of hyper-expansion in the very early universe.

The expansion of spacetime is also accelerating. Stars that are very far away from us will be increasing their distance faster than light could travel. They are passing beyond our horizon.

What you call "quantic intrication" is usually referred to as quantum entanglement. Current working theories have it that entangled fields interact over a spacetime bridge (an Einstein-Rosen bridge) also known as a wormhole, between the two allowing locality of information exchange (ER=EPR conjecture).
I should have recalled this sooner, but it happened to me once, too.

I was doing a product demo of a remotely operated device with a guy from AT&T. We were supposed to be able to communicate through the device but it wasn't working well. They'd just rolled out a new network and it was spotty. I suggested at one point that we use text messages as a back up for communicating and I actually asked him if he was ok with that.

He says, 'Yeah, no problem. My name's on the patent.' 'huh?', 'I'm on the SMS patent.'

I can't speak for why Herman Li, or any other musician, would be banned for DMCA. But, its my understanding that Twitch pays for a live performance license from the major music publishers to enable musicians to stream on their platform [1]. Of course, this didn't work for Herman Li, but I think it at least speaks to their long-term goals for the platform.

Additionally, while they say to never play recorded music on stream, unless from a source where the copyrights are taken care of, their specific recommendations even in this "clarification" post are very opaque. Never play recorded music on stream, unless you own all the rights, but you probably don't, if you're not sure turn off your VODs. None of that is consistent with some overarching idea of why people get DMCA'd; would I get DMCA'd for playing recorded music live, but not having VODs? I would guess even Twitch doesn't know; its outside of their control.

In short, music on Twitch is REALLY risky, primarily because their rights enforcement is so immature. Its akin to them wildly shooting in the air with a machine gun. YouTube's Content ID is a bit more mature and predictable, so diversifying there may be a good idea.

I don’t get this. The entire point of these systems is to detect and stop copyright violations because they open up platforms to lawsuits. It’s not enough to just respond to DMCA takedowns after the lawsuit between Viacom and YouTube because (I think pretty reasonably personally) these platforms previously enabled copyright violations at a scale that literally could not be policed by copyright holders and so ContentID and the like was the compromise.

That’s what I thought this method was. Repeating characters would kill that method since you don’t know which character was repeated and, more importantly, where. Even in the best situation you have to guess 4 digits and their positions 1 through 16. That sounds like a lot of guessing.
fzf can be used as a cool selector in the terminal, it just outputs what you picked from the list, so if you run `ls | fzf`, it will pass the list of files/dirs into fzf, where you can fuzzy search, select and it outputs to STDOUT.

So if you want to edit a file from inside a directory easily, you can do:

vim $(find | fzf)
The people that have to perform the technical integration between two independently developed products (and could warn that the integration work is more involved than starting from scratch) are a different group from who decides the acquisition is happening.

> White supremacy is literally a cop murdering a man by pressing his knee on the guys neck until he dies, with the cops buddies standing by and watching

That is not white supremacy until you prove he did it because the victim was black and not because other reasons (like him being a bully cop). So under that criteria any white person killed by a black person was victim of black supremacy.

A better example of white supremacy is white people in liberal cities taking over the BLM movement and making all about themselves.
