I'm very curious about where the slowdown is coming from. Is it mostly JS on the client or Java on the server? When I ran my own Confluence server on a Digital Ocean VM, it was slow but not unbearable. I assumed it was Tomcat's fault* or the fact that I wasn't using a "real" database on the backend (a configuration Atlassian frowns upon).

*Confluence is built on Tomcat. Don't know if this is also true for Jira.

Now that my Confluence server is on Atlassian's cloud, it seems much slower still. So I have to assume it's not client-side JS because that hasn't changed much; there's some kind of resource starvation going on with Atlassian's servers.
I would try it but I can't find the time.
do you have citation that former french colonies subsidise the french social net?
I believe what happens here is that the closure tries to capture it as a &&str. This is because it defaults to trying to take the environment by reference. The "move" in this case means that it will try to take it by value instead. This feels tricky semantically because references are types too, so "taking it by value" means taking a &T rather than a &&T, just like you may think about how taking a T is by value as opposed to &T.
no dont give into this guy ... this is done over the net. The rate of transfer has to be taken into account. Unacceptable is a measure of comparison.

Unacceptable to who, you have a faster provider for cheaper, with as many features???

Im pretty sure he doesnt because if he could he would go there. There are tradeoffs and Atlassian has many project they are working on. They understand that there is room for improvement in performance. Its one of Atlassian's priorities, it is a tech company (a pretty good one I would say).

I guess one question is about server redundancy. Where is this guy loading from and where is the server he is loading from? Getting things below 1s is nearing the speed of the connection itself. Also at that speed there is deminishing returns. Something that happens at 1s vs .5s doesnt make you twice as fast when you dont even have the response time to move your mouse and click on the next item in .5s.

Sometimes techies just love to argue. You are doing great Atlassian and have tons of features. But maybe it is time to revisit and refactor some of your older tools.
How about his “copy, acquire, kill” strategy for startups and how he even pretends it’s even remotely fair for a fledging startup to compete with a multi billion dollar company?
Thanks for letting me know — I actually have an old SE lying around so will test this and see if we can get it to behave better.
Ok but if they're not required to submit ownership information for shell companies, it seems the only practical impact is that RIAs get gatekeeper revenue.
I'd posit that the Bay Area has a higher rate of people who can work from home due to the software industry, which reduces the rate of transmission. However, it's still anyone's guess. A year from now maybe the data will be clearer.
My projects get a very discouraging rate of ~60%. That is probably because I reject a lot of PRs created by bots (dependabot, security fixes if they are only to dev dependencies).

Maybe because I merge commits manually.

I remember rejecting only a few PRs.

It seems very discouraging for new contributors.
> My phone is that internet/phone addiction is not a problem its a solution

Funny that you've mistyped "phone" instead of "theory".

Must be a Freudian phone.
> There are studios using GPUs for some workflows but most of it is CPUs.

This is probably true today, but leaves the wrong impression IMHO. The clear trend is moving toward GPUs, and surprisingly quickly. Maya & Houdini have release GPU simulators and renderers. RenderMan is releasing a GPU renderer this year. Most other third party renderers have already gone or are moving to the GPU for path tracing - Arnold, Vray, Redshift, Clarisse, etc., etc.
re #1: I think it's a technical problem too. I'm technically competent and enjoy programming, but I'd still like it if sometimes I could ask questions and get answers with less or no code. BI platforms are a pain in the ass for many reasons, but they often make it very easy to ask simple questions and organize the data in simple ways. A document that could do similar things without all the scaffolding would be cool.

#2-- Or just use the browser. It's capable enough, even if large datasets are somewhat problematic. The hard thing is the UI and identifying what the correct subset of functionality to surface is.
An interesting method that is widely used in Australia is “average speed cameras”. They set up 2 sets of cameras on a long highway and then time how long it took you to get from one camera to the next. It’s an excellent idea because you can’t just slow down for the camera and then speed up again.
I for one am saying Twitter has many, many people working on UX and the web interface is still terrible. Hardly any interface made for such a broad spectrum of people gets it just right for all its users, but Twitter is doing an exceptionally bad job at it.

I would expect this to be more difficult if the carrier group is on a wartime footing, though.

If people want to charge their electric cars and live in a place where it's difficult to do so, that is their problem.

Most places with super dense housing like you describe are probably in fairly dense urban areas where other forms of transportation are probably better regardless.

How to survive your first year on a Software Engineer path just after graduation
I solely started https://testimonial.to 2 weeks ago, and it generated over $5k revenue for me since its launch. I wouldn't say success, but at least it's my best launch ever.

Well, the website is an app to help collect video testimonials for your businesses. I offered a lifetime deal, all my revenue is from the lifetime deal. Now the deal is gone. In 2021, I will be only focus on recurring revenue. Start all over again :)
I’ll second this. Here’s an anecdote from just this morning:

I sat down at my desktop with my coffee. The first thing I did was fire up Unity and Visual Studio to continue some work on learning about networked multiplayer games. I spent about 2 hours reading API documentation and prototyping different things. I came away feeling like I had learned something and was making progress on a thing I care about.

After that I picked up my phone. I spent an hour scrolling through different news sites and jumping between apps. I came away feeling depressed, anxious, and like I just wasted an hour of my life on meaningless information consumption.

I’m sure some people have the same experience on a desktop/laptop and others can use their phone for creative endeavors, but for me, personally, the differences in experience between the two environments is quite stark.
Ask HN: Do you love your work? Why?
I think this answer from two months ago should give all the insight you ever want: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24818907

And the first answer to your comment in this thread profiling performance for an empty page with almost no data on a small project should give you even more data than you ever would want.

And this one for an empty project: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25616069

However, having personally experienced "upgrades to Jira and Confluence experiences" over the past few years, I can safely say: no one at Atlassian gives two craps about this. All the talk about "We are definitely working on generalized efforts to make 'most/all/everything' faster" is just that: talk. There's exactly zero priority given to performance issues in lieu of flashy visual upgrades which only make the actual experience worse.

> We're trying to focus on frustrating pages/experiences rather than number of network calls and such, because while the latter is correlated, the former (frustrating slow experiences) is really the bar and the higher priority.

Exactly: you aren't even trying to understand what people are telling you. These metrics you ask for and then dismiss entirely are the primary, core, systemic reason for frustrating slow experiences that you pretend are "high priority". No, frustrating slow experiences have not been a high priority for years (if ever).

If you need to do 200 requests and load 27.5 MB of data to display an empty page, therein lies your problem. You, and other PMs at Atlassian fail to understand these basic things, and yet we get platitudes like "performance is our top priority". It is not. You're good at hiding information and buttons behind multiple layers of clicks, each of which needs another 200 requests and 5-15 seconds to execute.

Oh. You're also good at adding useless crap like this: https://grumpy.website/post/0TcOcOFgL while making sure that your software is nigh unusable: https://twitter.com/dmitriid/status/888415958821416960 I imagine all performance tickets get dismissed because no one can see the description even on a 5k monitor

No sane judge would agree with your interpretation.
phone addiction seems to be just a single subset of the addiction/improvement feedback loops we have in most industries: food addiction, sugar addiction, clickbait addiction, social media addiction, 'app'/phone addiction, video game addiction, and many, many more
That sounds a lot like a conversation to me.
I've always thought privacy coins are not the clear cut win their are widely thought to be. Yes, on one hand it commoditizes the hiding of money and puts financial privacy in the hands of everyone.

On the other hand, the more money you have to hide the more you benefit and since wealth is already grossly concentrated toward 0.1% of the worlds people, those without wealth have more to lose than to gain if that wealth is able to vanish from view even more easily than it alrady can.
Other commenters have hit on this already, but the worst one that bites me all of the time is this one:

1. I click a link to an issue
2. I need to do something on that issue, so I attempt to click on a particular section to go make a modification
3. Bam, some background script has loaded, some new piece of content was shoved in, and what I clicked wasn't the thing I was expecting to click

Also, certain interactions within JIRA take far too many steps, and each one takes far too long to load, so it makes me dislike JIRA even more.

Project managers love JIRA, but engineers don't, because each time you make us wait we are less inclined to deal with the software that PM's need us to use so they know how things are going, so instead we get more meetings. If JIRA were fast, we could cut down on meetings.

Please make JIRA fast.
One potential difference is that the input data required to render a single frame of a high end animated or VFX movie might be several hundred gigabytes (even terabytes for heavy water simulations or hair) - caches, textures, geometry, animation & simulation data, scene description. Often times a VFX centric cloud provider will have some robust system in place for uploading and caching out data across the many nodes that need it. (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/avere)

And GPU rendering has been gaining momentum over the past few years, but the biggest bottleneck until recently was availabe VRAM. Big budget VFX scenes can often take 40-120 GB of memory to keep everything accessible during the raytrace process, and unless a renderer supports out-of-core memory access, then the speed up you may have gained from the GPU gets thrown out the window from swapping data
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned tiles here. In order for anyone to build products around OSM data you’re probably going to want to render a map. Tile hosting services are costly and I have up last time I tried to find out how you could do it yourself.
It's not a real fact check.

UK gov hasn't decided whether they will "mix and match". They also haven't decided yet whether they will open schools in 35h time. They were 100% certain theur would be no Christmas lockdown 4h before announcing Christmas lockdown.

The spectator used to be a respectable right wing outlet. But since brexit, it's gone full foxnews.

The NYT (which is the right of where the spectator was a few years ago and hardly "liberal" by the British definition) is correct there will be mixing. The government themselves only decided what circumstances would need to be for mixing a few hours ago. They only decided that when dozens of experts (including their own advisors) publically said it was a bad idea to mix so they rowed back from anything goes. Apparently it hadn't occurred to them to even ask.

Once again, policy by uneducated dictat. Now with political coverage by bs claims of "fact checking".
Yeah, but those would leave US territorial waters....

On Android you can use StreetComplete. With it, you'll be mostly able to add missing details around you, and the types of quests available are very broad. Arguably, you can't fix things with it, I heard there was an other app on F-Droid to do this but I haven't tried it yet.

Simple idea, love it. Well done.
Escapism is intensely popular, it’s behind the boom in video games, watching people stream themselves playing video games, super hero movies, scripted tv. OnlyFans let’s you have a quasi-partner who takes your money and gives you intimacy. Instant gratification, and if you don’t have what you want, just blame society for not giving it to you.

What’s great is that if you are a hard worker and have a long time horizon, it’s never been easier to extract huge compensation. Wealthy people want to invest to make money without any effort, and learning hard stuff like computer science, mechanical engineering, biochemistry and pharma development, etc. takes a tough decade of study and practice to get skilled enough to really kill it. But once you are an expert you can produce actual stuff that matters and investors can’t find enough smart and talented people willing to actually do stuff, so the premium paid to those that can make entertainment, life saving drugs, productivity-increasing tech, and so on gets ever higher.

Bet on making stuff for the Netflix box and drugs that keep fat people alive longer, and fun games that distract people from reality.
Why do work when you can milk it for status?
1) It scratches an itch every programmer has.

2) Every programmer can build it.
> I remember reading somewhere that CPUs give more reliably accurate results

This is no longer true, and hasn’t been for around a decade. This is a left-over memory of when GPUs weren’t using IEEE 754 compatible floating point. That changed a long time ago, and today all GPUs are absolutely up to par with the IEEE standards. GPUs even took the lead for a while with the FMA instruction that was more accurate than what CPUs had, and Intel and other have since added FMA instructions to their CPUs.
Does it support notifications?
He also feels the same way about the technical crew; the lighting crew, at least. Don't remember where I read it, but he said he lights his stuff primarily with flat overhead lighting these days because he doesn't want the DP/lighting to "waste time" getting lights just right for a shot.

While I immensely enjoy his films, it seems that he has great distain for the fact that filmmaking is a community effort, and simultaneously doesn't have it in himself to fight for his choices, so he just eliminates choice where he can.

Watching his progression over the years, I feel like the penultimate David Fincher film would be sans-actors and camera movement, followed by a film of raw script text pages with his red marker notes scribbled on them.
I always liked the neon sign they have outside their current renderfarm

> That's kind of my point - this won't happen, because Uber is already at rock bottom prices.

Not really. There are a lot of places to optimize the cost of an Uber competitor. If you have electric self driving cars that pick people up, maintenance and fuel are much less expensive and you aren't paying for a driver. Most of these would only need a 50-100 mile range and could fuel up between passengers.

Full self driving cars is a few years out, but having a service that has defined roads it can travel on is likely possible in the fairly near term. Waymo is already doing this to some extent.
Ask HN: How have you fared working remotely this past year?
(Just in case anyone thinks it, I'm not running a survey for a company or something like that. I'm asking these questions out of curiosity)

1) Are you fully remote or hybrid?
2) How far away have you been from your physical workplace?
3) How have you handled it psychologically? Has remote work made your life easier/harder?
4) Pros and cons?
5) Any special observations you've made regarding your location, circumstances, et al.?
6) Would you recommend remote work either in general, in relation to your experiences, or not at all?
I've had 2 surface books so far and one surface tablet and never had these problems. I did however break the screen of my surface tablet, but I dropped it off the roof of my car after forgetting it was up there.

I use one of my laptops for my business and code on it, albeit on windows, but I've never had freezing or crashing.
Never had to deal with support so can't say much about that experience.

It seems you've just gotten super unlucky with MS products. I'd definitely stick to Apple in your case. It seems someone may have cursed you.

Yes there is whole part of equation that has nothing to do with ASML. But the point, to over simplify things a lot was that without ASML there are currently zero chance you could get leading edge node working. But even with it you have barely started.

Look at Intel, Samsung and Global Foundry.
Well, "Defence" would, as the intended product is not necessarily peace...
I have a real Kaypro 2 computer with a 4MHz Z80 in it, which I also use Turbo Pascal on - on the Kaypro, it's perfectly usable, but you get used to waiting a few seconds when you're loading files, compiling, etc. On the ZedRipper, when things are executing out of RAM everything is instantaneous. I think the CPU core I'm using is close to cycle-accurate, so it probably is ~35x faster than the Kaypro when executing actual code.

I am in my 21st year of running a service that places bids the last few seconds on eBay. I am the sole employee and I outsource all of the heavy lifting. I have been doing the four hour work week since Tim Ferriss was in middle school. My house and farm in the Seattle area are both fully paid for. It allowed me to enjoy my children as they grew up and to afford serious medical bills (two of them are handicapped). It also allowed me to buy housing for several relatives, study constantly, and do a lot of pro bono work. It also allowed me to make some very expensive mistakes, but we were always careful enough not to do things that were fatal to our finances. It’s been an amazing set of experiences.
Correct - I run two Saas apps. One collects COVID symptoms from kids attending childcare centres and the other allows users to send SMS from Google sheets. I've made a total of $5 from both (first customer for SMS tool last month).

I had a lot of interest in the symptom screening tool, but then my provincial government changed the rules so child care centres didn't need to collect symptoms. I have 2 centres using it and I just cover the bills. I've told them they can use it for free. Probably more of a hassle to collect the $10/month from them.
