Realized I have a typo from relying too heavily on auto-correct. Sorry about that.

I worked at Google for four years. I've seen many people I know basically "play it safe" by making conservative decisions in order to minimize the likelihood of hurting one's promo chances. Despite all the talk about this, nobody really knows for sure what will affect their promo. For example, people will stay on a team they hate rather than risk "resetting the promo clock". There is also a general understanding that being outside the Bay Area hurts your career growth.

Given these tendencies and the fact that people who work remotely often find themselves more isolated than their in-office colleagues, I fully expect that people will hesitate to adopt remote work if they're not in the majority.

My experience of the equation editor in Word on MacOS is that it definitely does not support any meaningful degree of compatibility with TeX. Command-alt-E in Keynote works properly and seems to have most of amsmath imported by default: you can \begin{pmatrix} or \begin{cases} easily.

One of my worst weekly experiences is receiving documents in Word, especially papers written by colleagues with maths in them. Writing Markov chains in the supplementary methods section for a recent paper genuinely drove me to distraction; each non-ascii character was a major break from the flow of the sentence and requires a move to the mouse.

I really dislike Word in general, actually: on Linux (my workstation) LibreOffice is integrated well and polished; on MacOS it isn't as much as there's some value in having the 'real deal' product as administrators in my university use it a lot. I don't understand why Word's behaviour is interpreted differently from that of the rest of MacOS: e.g. in Word, clicking to select a chunk of text from the middle of the word automatically selects the whole word the cursor was in, unlike the rest of MacOS. This makes selecting parts of a word almost impossible, and it's not possible (AFAIK) to turn this behaviour off.

Skeletons and frameworks should be avoided at all costs.

Frameworks are sometimes useful if you know one well but if you're new to it its gonna be a huge time sink.

Skeletons are similar issue to frameworks, they give you a whole lot of boiler plate and distract you from solving the problem tying you up with the authors picky conventions.

The best framework is a .PHP file running on Apache.
I agree that the comments were egregious and banned the account. Nonetheless, it's against the site guidelines to feed such comments by replying to them—that just perpetuates flamewars.

"Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead."

(Or, if you prefer Old Internet, please don't feed the trolls.)

When they don't get replies and are properly flagged, egregious comments are deprived of oxygen and the fires quickly die out. When they are fed, we end up in various circles of flamewar hell. Such flamewars are a co-creation of the provoker and the provokees. We're trying to avoid that here.

Yeah, but Steve Jobs isn't responsible anymore for what Apple is doing today.

If he would have done much different, I don't know. I also guess his main concern with Flash was, that he couldn't control the proprietary plattform. The flash player could have been improved ... but Adobe would have been still in charge.
You’re not bound by physical parameters... why not both?
I don't think Steve Jobs would disagree with the current Apple way of doing things. My understanding of the guy is not that he was a strong ideologist.

I agree that this was a deliberate political move from Apple, but I call survivorship bias on the 'everyone falls for the Streisand effect'. Consider that you only hear about the ones the do get caught.
Thanks. I experience enough broken pages due to the inability of site to offer simple text without tons of javascript that I didn't question it.
Yes, I agree, and sorry for the ignorant question. Yet a lone "educate yourself" may be a bit harsh on a site where informal technical conversation happens. Care to share a couple of "killer" features of ZFS for somebody who has never cared about the FS their files are stored in?
That's not entirely untrue. Even if you do get promoted, the four year cliff is real. I got promoted and still experienced a substantial loss in total comp at year 4, with good performance and what seemed to be typical refresh grants.
"Don't forget that the rocket side of the world does, in fact, also tend to throw some of those rockets at other people."

Oh absolutely! Rockets vs stones was a simplified example and I do agree that the world is much more complex than that.

I'm in Europe,so some of the issues are slightly different than those on the other side of the pond but there's also plenty underneath the surface.

Just yesterday was reading how many thousands of people died because a few countries decided to switch off radios that were supposed to capture distress calls from the boats with refuges in the sea. That's the ultimate stick fingers in your ears and do la la la kind of thing. And the list goes on,while we can sit in our safe homes thinking it's all out there,too far from me to care too much.
I don't think it's as easy as "let the patient decide". First, probabilities are very abstract concepts for people, that's why people respond very differently to the dangers of things when given the probability. Some people are scared if there is a 1:1000 chance of something happening, others are reassured, but both might have very similar reactions if they actually get hit by the chance event.

Secondly, also there is significant evidence of high incidence of depression for people with side effects, such as incontinence and impotence. I don't think people have the ability to assess that effect based on their values. To use an extreme example, should we operate something that has a 1:1000 change of killing you before something else, if it increases your suicide risk to 1:500? Should we allow patient to make that decision?

If it took many years to write a big C codebase, then a rewrite likely will take significant time too (or you'll drop many useful features and/or introduce new bugs). And most software project take more time than anticipated, rewrites is not an exception here. Isn't is a waste of money too, just another kind?

>that remote workers will get fewer promotions, lower ratings, etc

I don't believe it works like that.
U get fewer promotion not because you are remote worker. The problem is that you can become less valuable resource, who can effectively make less overall impact on the product. Hence lower rating.
So for employer is not trade-off between pay/remoteness, rather between better employee or remoteness.
Basically nobody cares if you are remote or not if you can do your job efficiently. And be transparent and manageable.
> You consider Reddit usable?

Yeah, and so does millions of people. My account is over a decade old and I considered the "new reddit" unusable for all of 3 days, once you get used to how the modals work it's better, IMO. Not to mention the responsive layout which was atrocious on old reddit when I switched.

As for the app maybe the user acquisition techniques are annoying, but well inside the app I really have zero problem with it. And I used to be a diehard Alien Blue user, which is the gold standard.

>It’s pointing out that while objectively different, subjectively it’s often the same emotional weight - as counter intuitive as it may be - especially for those that don’t have prior experience or calibration in the objectively more serious environment.

This seems like incredibly useful behavior. When things improve it allows us to tackle new problems with similar conviction as before. It also helps us not get completely overwhelmed when we end up in worse and worse situations.
Btrfs is used on millions of production servers (Facebook...) and can essentially solve the same storage problems that ZFS was designed to solve, using similar principles (CoW...). Btrfs deservedly got a bad wrap for many years because it had unacceptable bugs, but they seem to have finally quieted. SUSE ships and supports Btrfs for its enterprise Linux, and even Red Hat made it the default fs for Fedora. Also, Oracle can't sue you for using Btrfs, whereas Oracle has refused to have a lawyer send Linus a letter saying Oracle won't sue people for using ZFS on Linux, despite Linus' request to Oracle for such a letter saying its OK.
The self-preservation instinct and general human will to live is strong enough to keep you going even in the absence of "enough good things". But good things aren't the only thing that balances out bad things, as anyone who has seen authoritarianism first hand could tell you. Bad things squared can work just as well.

For example, most religions have a taboo on suicide. "Your life sucks? Well tough shit bucko, you choose the easy way out and you end up in hell where it's infinitely worse forever." Absurd as it may sound, people can live against their will, too.

"Everyone wins – we sell more devices because we have the best apps"

Apple having the best apps meaning apple only has the best apps, meaning walled garden. Not PWA's that run on any good device for example.

It is a very huge Apple boost, when some awesome apps are apple only - Apple wins there, but not everyone.
I ran into an interesting variation of this where we shouldn't have had any problems with small packets, but it turned out we had having jumbo frames enabled in AWS (which seems to be a default now). Together with gzip, you can actually have a bit of trouble filling up a packet, which will then be delayed by the commonly mentioned interaction with delayed ACKs.

> You guys can't imagine any way in which depressions might provide benefits? That's how multiple people in this thread have acted. But maybe, just maybe, people that are depressed have a different perspective on life and maybe feel differently.

Yes, my own experiences with depression in those around me (thankfully not in myself) have left me seeing no way in which depression provides benefits. It is a terrible debilitating disease (or symptom, or whatever it is) that literally saps people of their will to do anything regardless of external stimuli. I find it very hard to imagine something so maladaptive being presented as possibly useful.

I would guess that sentiments like this are the main reason behind the powerful response to your thread. It is almost like claiming that "there is a reason for cancer".

Edit: I would also note that it's possible that we're simply talking past each other, as the term "depression" actually covers some quite different disorders; it's possible that what you're thinking of when you use this word is different from what I'm thinking of - to me, it mostly refers to a disorder where people feel either deeply sad or deeply anxious, but either way they are lacking almost entirely in motivation, finding it hard to even get out of bed sometimes; and all this with little relation to external stimuli.

Taking your cloudfront example, the free tier covers 50GB data out at 2 million requests - so your image would need to be less that 25KB to be under the free tier limit.

Taking a 4MB image, that would equate to around 8TB which is priced at under $1.

Make that 20 million views and you hit $10 - oof!

---

$20 or $200 doesn't matter - how on earth could you have a credit card if you can't afford to pay off $200?

---

AWS is great and people are free to try it out. They should also be aware that things cost money and not to put their credit card down for services without being fully aware of the costs associated.

It's like buying a property for investment then complaining to the real estate agent later down the line for a number of issues the property has that require maintenance down the line.

What's wrong with buyer beware? Why can't people/big companies offer services without people crying foul about 'getting hurt from bill shock'? Where's the personal responsibility and accountability for your own actions and decisions gone?

AWS aren't scheming to scape little bits of money from small time developers. They're interested in catching big fish companies who are looking to choose their platform / service offering in the cloud computing space. If you think these small time developers with 'bill caps so i don't overspend' is at the top of their feature priority list you've got the wrong idea about the business.
I live in the Portland area, west of I-5. The reason for this became clear when I saw this article (which I learned about here on HN):

https://www.usgs.gov/news/volcanoes-vineyards-new-geologic-m...

For instance, look at page 3 of the pamphlet:

https://pubs.usgs.gov/sim/3443/sim3443_pamphlet.pdf

To the west of Portland we see Dark Gray which is Basalt (if you've ever driven through the tunnel and up and over the west hills to the western suburbs of Portland, you have driven through the basalt region) and then there is a big light yellow oval that is labelled Tualatin Basin. What is the light yellow according to the legend? It is surface deposits. Long ago this was a basalt bowl. Then a giant flood came down the Columbia river gorge and dumped hundreds of feet of clay silt into the bowl. When you are standing in Beaverton, Hillsboro, Bethany, etc. you are standing hundreds of feet above the original valley floor.

Now look at the map again. The basin is pretty much all to the west of I-5. If you live in the basin you are screwed when the big earthquake hits (the one exception is that hill of basalt rising like an island in the middle of the basin - that is Cooper Mountain, it's no coincidence that the houses on top of Cooper Mountain are where the rich people live). What is going to happen is the earthquake waves will come in and bounce off the basalt on one side of the bowl and reverberate back to the basalt on the other side. The waves will go back and forth in the bowl and liquefy all of that old clay silt. Just like this:

> In the essay [0], Jobs suggested mobile app development on should focus on HTML5

I think you should read that essay again. In the context of the mobile web, it argues for HTML and against Flash. In the context of apps, it argues for native platform technology and against Flash. It doesn’t argue for using HTML for apps.

Edit: Quite confused about why this got downvoted. If you disagree with my reading of the article, could you explain what in the essay suggests focusing on HTML5 for mobile app development?
Thats exactly the impression I got when I was reading the AWS docs. I am a student too and was evaluating AWS for a hobby project.

Reading the docs I got the feeling that the product is designed for big cooperations only. But not for someone who wants real price control. The free account just made no sense to me.

I ended up renting a cloud server ~3€ a month. (Not AWS) Looking at this thread this was the best decision I could make.
> "Apple rolling out anti-PWA practices" refers to them clearing local state after 7 days of no use.

If they actually did that, it'd be crippling installed PWAs compared to native apps, since you couldn't persist anything without an account.

However, from what I remember, they don't actually clear the state of installed PWAs for the primary domain, since the 7 days only count down if you actually open the app on that day.

>When it comes to data analytics IDEs there is a fundamental tradeoff between staring at the data or staring at the transformations.

That is an interesting point regarding Excel vs Python. But no-code, flow-based data transformation tools such as Easy Data Transform (my own product), Alteryx and Tableau Prep offer a different approach, by having a canvas of transformations and allowing you to see the data after each transformation with a click. This loses some of the massive flexibility of Excel, but also has a lot of advantages, including: no syntax to remember and the transformations are much more visible and easy to reverse.

I work on a social media app where user preferences are minimally linked to content, and one of the user complaints is that there's a lot of Chinese stuff on the feed. I assume that it takes effort to identify and filter out the Chinese content.

Maybe instead of you being misidentified as a Chinese, it could be that one of the filters is disabled.

> *Reusability*: Here's where Clojure really shines. Because most functions are pure and operate on few common data structures (mostly maps, vectors and sets) it is very easy to write reusable code. We created many internal libraries just by separating the candidate functions into their own namespaces within the regular project source tree. To finally establish the library we move the code from the project repo into a new Git repo and include the resulting library Jar in the project.clj as dependency. Thus, we have a very lean process that results in production-quality resusable assets.

This is very true. Data-orientation really helps with reuse and library composibility.

The ability to reference git repos in the deps.edn file further supports this process. I don't particularly like the ergonomics of the Clojure CLI, though, but having this feature is pretty great. I use it all the time.
> Python can be ahead in the performance race. We just need to get real.

I agree that threads run counter to the point of Twitter, but I am grateful that they incorporated them. The users started making threads, and it used to be REALLY bad to read through them (being reversed and all). Despite this, everyone still did them, and everyone also always complained they were so hard to read.

If your userbase demands a feature so strongly it makes sense to incorporate it!
