> Mozilla seems to be having their plate full just keeping Firefox in running with Chromium and Safari, at least as a distant, but still alive, third. And slowly falling further behind.

If we're talking about the dwindling user base then yes, but if it's about falling behind technologically then it's Safari that is a distant third.

Safari is the new Internet Explorer. Everyone has to support it due to its user base (which is most likely why you don't see many sites breaking under it), but at least from my own experience it's the most feature incomplete, buggy browser out there, and it takes the most amount of work to support.

It's now a regular occurrence for me that I test something in Chromium and Firefox, and it works on both, but it's broken on Safari.

Why should that be better? I've read that and had a myriad of possible visualizations, beginning with some billiard ball on a pool table(which of them?), over some larger ball on a garden table, to tennis balls(which color? they come in neon yellow, orange, pink and even green!), and whatnot else. It only makes sense to abstract all the possibilities out, and ask how the EFFING EFF should I know?!

The critics are for people who have more refined taste and don't enjoy strictly commercial movies - so, it's ok if you don't get the critics, as they're not their audience.
Both you and the parent describe my experience.

If I ran Stripe I’d acquire CorpNet (and Gusto and TaxAct while we’re at it) to make a complete C Corp package.

Ironically if you go to a typical small town venture lawyer you get copy and pasted docs anyway.

I don’t know if it reassures you but for 99% of people the docs never become an issue. They could be literal chicken scratch and for the most part things will be okay. This is really why the Atlas product works.
Yeah, my numbers are off by about 20 years :-)

But like you I like the idea ...
I don't think moving to a different area is something easy to do as a person generally. (May be necessary, but still a hard and painful decision.) Maybe the person, even with all the city's faults, still have some affection towards her NYC neighborhood. She might have some friends important to her in the area that she doesn't want to be apart. Why should we assume the person would want to leave in the cold calculation of money and capital, ripping her off from what invaluable relationships she had in the area? People are not atomized rational machines hyper-optimizing for cost, they are in close relationship to the surrounding world and feel a sense of agency for being in such a relationship. And sometimes people will stay in their area even if the economic conditions aren't optimal, because they have something even more important to lose by moving away.

Their race percentages of both employees and leadership are in line with national demographics. Not trying to troll, but it sounds like they just don't like a certain "race".
I don't think you'll get a lot of traction with a heartfelt argument against the concepts of heroism and personal sacrifice.
I'd written my own commentary on Bob's exellent suggestions at the time: https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/2j9xri/alertin...

Today I'd update my thoughts in a few directions.

Operations is far more about risk management, mitigation, preemption, and response than other elements of tech work. Monitoring is part of that, but so is drilling, analysis, and proceduralising response. Selling ops as a risk-management strategy might also address the comprehension failures management often reveals in response to concerns raised, or cost-based objections. See: https://joindiaspora.com/posts/647a6300a2220139344a002590d8e...

Another piece I've written on problem resolution applies: https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/2fsr0g/hierarc...

On "cause-based alerts": there are states and there are levels, and sometimes what you want to track are levels. Available storage, filehandles, sockets, or other consumable resources would be well-worth logging and alerting on. Key is that the alerts should trigger some action, which is often not the case.

"Normalization of Deviance" is a term used by Diane Vaughan (I also associate it with Charles Perrow of Normal Accidents), and poses a potential ... risk ... of Ewaschuk's approach: alerts which don't lead to an actionable event might be either ignored or muted, though they do in fact represent risks. Normalising deviance leads to eventual catastrophic failures: the Challenger and Columbia disasters, Three Mile Island and Chernobyl, Champlain Towers South, ...

Covid Vaccines Cover the Delta Variant
Arabic notation / base ten seems to work really well with our brains. Having that many fingers probably helps. I couldn't imagine a modern world running on Roman Numerals.
Nice idea, but there's no way something like this would pass FDA. Even for the live VSV Ebola vaccine that contains no Ebola at all in it, except for the encoded spike, it's recommended for a doctor to do administration, and it's not commercially available, so you have to justify your need for it to the federal government. You are also supposed to avoid close contact with anyone else for quite a while after, to prevent transmission of the vaccine virus.

I wonder how disclosure works for the "field study testing the vaccine in adults is under way in Mali."

Do they screen enrollees based on scientific literacy? Seems like there could be significant moral hazards here.
Sometimes it's better to accept that someone's lived experience is more accurate than your assessment of it from an article you just read. Your comment comes across as extremely callous and insensitive towards someone who is sharing their feelings of pain and loss.
But fortunately in my case when I started with my company I was having to use Jira a lot. We found that not only was the documentation pretty bad, but the company steadfastly refused to help with any of our issues. When you’re trying to onboard new QA folks especially, Atlasian just dumped a large document on your lap and says here good luck. Took a while but we finally got rid of Atlasian tools, it was just too much effort for something another package could and does provide just as well.

How do you integrate the QA people into the product owner's processes?
As a person who maintains a moderately sized irc network (700 users when I last checked) one of the things that had put me off matrix a couple of years ago was the lack of powerful moderation tools.

IRCs are absolutely archaic, for sure. Inspircd’s modules are awkward to use, single characters have special meaning… there’s g/k/u-lines and don’t get them mixed up!

But, they’re very powerful and absurdly flexible. We’ve been able to mitigate absolutely huge spam attacks with quite complex logic, and you have strong moderation tools at every level- from the channels with quite rich permissions (voiced, half-ops, ops, admins, founders) and the network level (the aforementioned lines).

Maybe matrix has caught up- but it’s hard for me to run a public network without such rich moderation tools.

Even if those tools are clunky and awkward.

> You’re probably not rich in the sense of generational wealth. 99% of people aren’t

The majority of people who start new businesses do not have generational wealth. In fact, those who achieve generational wealth often turn into investors who collaborate with entrepreneurs.

> If the company that hired you had gone for another candidate, would you be where are now?

There were half a dozen other offers waiting. Looking at the performance over the years of the companies that made these offers, I would be wealthier.

> Hard work is good for success, but it’s not sufficient. And that’s especially the case for gaining outsized wealth.

Hard work is a key component of success. Even those who inherit generational wealth have the option of living off their trust fund or pursuing their ambitions.

It is key to understand that hard work is your best tool for success; it is the only thing you have control over.

Also, I am using here “hard work” in a broad sense. Hard work isn’t only putting hours in front of the computer, but also coming out of your shell to socialize in order to find mentors, learning new things, keeping yourself healthy, etc.
> "unaware that in nearby Ohio," Clearly this was written by a coastal or someone who needs a lesson in geography. Vulcan, Michigan, and for that matter most of the Upper Peninsula is closer to 3 other states including Iowa than it is to ANY part of Ohio.

Can you explain why this is relevant? It seems of little consequence to me in the context that it is written.

As someone who lived in Michigan for 20+ years (I am aware where Vulcan, MI is), Ohio seems "nearby" enough given the reason the author would use that language in the article.
Git chain hashes.

Merkle trees are useful.

They include hashes. They are not simply hashes.

Content-addressable storage robust against variations is another approach.

> In procedural work, the best are 2x better than the average. In creative work, the best are 10x better than the average, so huge premium on creating effective teams of the best

> Great Workplace is Stunning Colleagues

Well, NO. Having smart and competent colleagues is for sure desirable but it is just one trait (Maybe not the most important one)

> Netflix Vacation Policy and Tracking “there is no policy or tracking”

This is a huge huge red-flag.One of the reasons (among many) is that people tend to overestimate their contribution to team and underestimate their peers' .So when Susy takes 2 weeks off (deservedly according to her) you get pissed because you think you have done 2X as much as her and you only took one week off. And this is the tamest of the complications.Vacations should be like salaries, they need to be spelled out very clearly and not subject to ambiguous "rules".

> Highly‐Aligned Loosely‐Coupled teamwork effectiveness is dependent on high performance people and good context. Goal is to be Big and Fast and Flexible.

Thank God they were free of corporate mumbo-jumbo.

Most of the slides are in a similar vein. They want to justify culling people indiscriminately (and they are withing their rights) but they are not being cool, innovative or different because of that. They are just another company which wants to extract as much value from their employees as possible while minimizing the cost.
The problem here is that he leveraged himself and pursued a case which resulted in bankruptcy which makes it hard for the SEC to collect a fine that they can disburse part of to the whistleblower.

Whistleblower rewards are great, but they must have limits, and he bumped into them here (while highly leveraging himself).

Linked List Interview Problem
I think, by definition, having a FAANG job is being spoiled, but yes, the software industry has some pretty terrible practices. Look up, for example, the story of EA Spouse. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/feb/18/crunched-...
This wasn't just "negative feedback" from strangers. It was vicious hate from people claiming to be speaking for her own community - complete with crude misgendering, and accusations of being a Nazi based solely on misreading her frickin' birthdate as some sort of super secret sign. Talking about "but, but what would a stable healthy person do???" is just outrageous victim-blaming at that point.

I agree with personal responsibility here. But I don't think that negates critiques about living wages, especially from a self-billed progressive organization.

It looks like some positions are required in person - does anyone work there on HN? There is only one NY specific list on their jobs page right now that says remote/NY, but a lot others list specific cities, like San Fran which is expensive too - they say "San Francisco (remote for now)"

I think this combo of Stimi, lack of/expensive childcare, and new automatic child support payments, has forced the debate on where the baseline of a living wage is.

We're pushing past $15 minimum for even Burger King in some places right now. But employers are logically still loathe to pay more, they would rather pay signup bonus' than higher wages.

If wages outpace inflation I'm all for it.
How do you feel about them having only 13 employees in 2012 when none of the things you listed were shared with FB?
If the broadband is the bottleneck then all that doesn’t matter one whit.
Regarding (1), yes, it must match all. Because of this, patents usually enumerate variants as separate claims. E.g., the 1st claim will be something very broad. The 2nd claim will be, "claim 1, with feature X" [1]. The 3rd claim, "claim 1, with feature Y". The 4th claim, "claim 2, with feature X". etc. This (a) allows the inventor to claim each aspect of their invention separately; (b) since claims are invalidated independently, allows the inventor to still claim the very specific combination of all parts of their invention, if the broader claims are invalidated; and (c) allows the inventor to claim refinements of the invention which might otherwise be considered novel and therefore patentable by someone else.

This patent is odd in that it doesn't follow that pattern. Just one solitary claim.

(For reference, a random unrelated patent I happen to be reading now uses 26 claims to basically say "we invented a slightly different way to lay out RAID-6 parity blocks".)

[1] The specific verbiage used is usually something like "the system/method of claim N, further comprising [additional mechanism]", or "the system/method of claim N, wherein [specific design choice]".
Totally agree - often it seems people take a transactional approach to work as a way to insulate themselves from social or economic harm, but then proceed to complain about the transactional nature of work that they assist in perpetuating.

But there's plenty of room to be critical of companies without sacrificing the positive things you've listed above.
Yeah nah

The issue with niche change.org petitions is that the numbers mean nothing. There's no way to prove that the signers are from the key population.
Contrast with flat-earthers. Despite all the proof that the earth is round, some people still believe that the world is flat, and their detractors belong to a mind-controlling conspiracy. You can be sad about folks believing that without calling for their violent eradication.
I was replying to a statement that C had isolation and I pointed out that it didn't. The response was a non-sequitur: "So then even C++ isn't OO", and I responded that the question is not whether C++ is OO but whether it's memory is managed. Not sure how any of this is hard to follow or why these arguments should trip you up.

I don't see any details as to what the alleged "troll" said on which you are basing this. The only evidence I see is the this was settled out of fear of being doxed amd nothing indicating the strength of the legal claim of libel.
I think the big winner in the short-term is places like YMCA attempting to broaden into more and more social categories.

> entirely frequented by people who had come to use the free computers/internet

This is a problem with a lack of investment into the space. If half of NYC was shared space, they would find their space and you would be in another. I find Central Park to be mostly pleasant, and that's a shared space. When it's 0.01% of the space, there isn't enough room for the required segmentation of the different tribes and it ends up toxic.
Thanks for the reply. I see parallels to the Web Audio API (https://www.w3.org/TR/webaudio/) which is mostly for creating graphs of nodes using the browser's native code to do the processing.

It's hard to do real-time audio sample processing in JavaScript since the language isn't designed for real-time. Maybe a restricted subset would work.
What is the relationship between the mean average net profit margin of the 500 companies in the SP500 index at this point in time and an "acceptable profit margin"?

It seems like an arbitrary metric to use. I would think focusing on barriers to entry, economies of scale, and legislative barriers to be more relevant factors in determining whether or not a profit margin is "acceptable".
