Super cool! We need more graphs in the space. It reminds me of my last failed startup. https://github.com/woost/wust2

Everything was a node in the graph and could be connected and nested: folders, todos, notes, chat messages, even kanban columns.

We had big difficulties to sell, because nobody understood the concept. Or saw the advantages.

But yours is more visual and may be easier to grasp, because people today often already know Miro and Notion. I whish you best of luck and hope you succeed!
I think you're misreading the parent, I read it as more like if you're 24 and make 200K whilst being chained to an office 5 or more days a week, your peers who make 40k doing odd jobs at their own convenience and enjoy a larger portion of their time in freedom will pity you, not look up to you.
Completely true. See "World-Check". [1] There are a number of these products and all the major banks use them to vet customers.

>If it had been any other company that had done with Oculus what Facebook has done with it they would be mocked endlessly for such magnitude of failure.

Did they fail? Most people don't hate Facebook as much as HN and seem not to have a problem with Oculus requiring a Facebook account, given that the Quest 2 is the best selling VR headset by far.
Confidence and Competence à La Bond
Why does the author pull up Nord stream2 as important to the German economy considering there is no need for increased capacity only a Russian incentive to take away the cards of Ukraine and such?

Other than that the author makes a boatload of assumptions. South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Crimea, Nagarno karabakh, etc in recent memory but somehow he believes the Americans would not consider anything close based on this conjecture?
Pretty obvious what the scam is here. Starmer lied to the membership to become leader, has ruthlessly purged the left including the former leader, and now plans to sit tight doing and saying nothing, hoping the Tories self-destruct as they occasionally are want to. Meanwhile Labour will suck-up to the right-wing press in the hope that Murdoch et al will decide not to destroy them on a whim as they did the previous iteration, enough to sneak the next election. Net result, the 40% of the population who voted for a left-wing party in 2017 will have no representation for the next decade minimum. Again. Great democracy we have, brilliant stuff. Signed, extremely bitter former Labour member.

Agreed with everything you say here. Really want there to be a go-to Rails-like framework for JS, but nothing has reached that point yet.

I'm very bullish on SvelteKit — hits all the points you mention above and outputs a minimal, performant full-stack app. https://kit.svelte.dev/ Still in beta and changing a lot but really really lovely to use.

Heck, to scratch my own itch I'm even making a Rails-like SaaS boilerplate to go on top of SvelteKit to give me all models, user auth, admin dashboards, payments, etc that you need in almost every app these days: https://sveltesaas.com
It's not so much about it getting faster over time, it's about it NEVER getting slower, and never breaking.

That is something you want to have in your stack when you want to stay on latest and not get stuck on a rewrite 6 years down the road because it's TCO-slow and incompatible with the latest-and-greatest version that is finally fast.

Look no further than python and node to find languages that have notable performance regressions on new releases over time.
Maybe their desktop traffic wouldn't have tanked so much if they'd kept it a richer experience, and continue to enrich it. Instead they abandoned it completely once traffic patterns tipped towards mobile.
It's not a real negotiation unless you are willing to walk away from the table. You already know what you need to do. Start looking for a different position. If you really want to stay at this company but don't feel like they value you then you need to have the ability to walk away when you enter the negotiation again.
I understand that. It's my body that's doing the thinking, and my body that's typing this comment. The question is why there's some sort of proximity that I have with my comment that I don't have to yours.
My issue with the JS world is that it is leaking from frontend webdev into other domains. 0.1% of your users having a bad user experience because of using a "just good enough" JS library is pretty fine for me, even if I am - as a user - in that 0.1%. But taking down your whole k8s cluster thanks to switching to a "just good enough" JS library from a battle tested python library is the exact opposite of "fine".
As far as priority goes, most interesting cases will have priority based on the data in the read, except for this specific case of a done chan el and a data channel. I used that pattern at first but have been moving away from it. To be sure i am mostly writing long lived processes with fixed pools of worker go routines and either never exit or exit based on WaitGroups determining the work is all done.

Have you already seen the film? For me it's definitely Daniel Craig's finest.
Pizza Isn’t Italian
I'm not too familiar with the Twitter terms of service, but I would be surprised if selling access to their data wasn't a clear violation.
I’m terrible at arithmetic, but one very useful skill I have (probably left over from my slide rule days) is doing 1 1/2 digit calculations with exponential notation in my head. Like your evaporation problem.

These days, though, I have a tendency to just raise my wrist and ask Siri, “How many inches to the Sun?”
As I said in a sibling comment, the problem is that some SPA-developers then see everything as one type of problem (I said nail there, but using your analogy, screw works better). Carpenters will tell you that screws aren't really superior nails - certain applications actually hold up better with nails (interesting enough for this analogy, those with a lot of side load, where screw heads may actually shear off)
The whole point of the parable is that if you aren't faultless yourself, don't go pointing out faults in others. That's why I used it. It seems self-evident that it's making fun of those that acuse others of doing the very things (or similar) themselves. The man was making fun of gaslighting 2000 years ago.

Where do you get that I'm suggesting otherwise?
That's true. I'm not an expert, my guess though would be that more people have access to smartphones with a network connection than have access to a good banking system with stable currency.
No data == no income for FB?
First, hats off to "Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement". I looked them up, it is a research lab based in France https://www.lsce.ipsl.fr/Phocea/Vie_des_labos/Ast/ast_servic...

They do research but also higher education with 60 PhDs at any given time. Compared to US standards they are very small. Our National Labs have probably a budget 1,000 times bigger.

It is not a think tank like the ones we have in Washington DC where you just "buy opinions" augmented with political endorsements (= lobbyists ready to "fund the political campaign" of any politician, Republican or Democrat).

That shows that good research teams with limited budgets can produce great output. Unfortunately everything is in French, so their audience is limited.

As for the culprits we know WHO they are and WHERE they are. But like the war on illegal drugs against Mexican and Colombian cartels we should not forget that they would not exist without consumers. Consumers who are mostly in the US.

We can target the polluters in Kazakhstan or anywhere else. The White House will issue a press release "condemning those irresponsible operators" and providing reassurance that "we will do everything we can to bring that activity to a complete stop".

But we are consumers, and the US more specifically is a voracious consumer. We have built cities out of nowhere in places where the temperature is so high that you can’t live without A/C. We have golf courses in the middle of the desert and ice hockey teams in places that have seen ice. Our gigantic houses, our culture around freedom (=individual cars and pathetic public transportation systems)

Sure we drive a Bolt, a Tesla or a Prius in San Francisco. But it is our second, third or fourth car. The others are pickups or large SUVs to go skiing on weekends. Uber instead of public transportation, private jets for work or extended weekends, vacations with the family on the other side of the world at least 2-4 times/year. Ask our beloved Senator in California, Nancy Pelosi, who commands a military jet when she heads back home from DC for the weekend.

I don’t know what the solutions are. Shame the largest consumers? Shame and uncover politicians who condemn the pratices? Heavy taxes on gas (very impopular)? Honestly I don’t think I will witness any significant change in my lifetime.

Note: gas in the US is petrol, not natural gas.
I'm curious how the Hong Kong Dollar can be "undervalued" with respect to the US Dollar by 51.4% when it's pegged 1:7.8

PPP doesn't really mean that a currency is 'undervalued' or 'overvalued' with respect to one another, just that local efficiencies or inefficiencies make procurement of a basket of goods relatively more or less expensive there relative to tradeable goods no?
Another case of apple ignoring standards in favor of their own preferences.
You are right at many levels. There are still many reasons why I would not like to work in a place that does just that - it's chaos. But some time should be spent that way, mandatory!

I actually have a boss that literally made a "skunkworks" weekly meeting that was 4 hours and meant "turn off phones, email, IM, work on cool things". It transformed into a full day (weekly) for a while, but we failed to keep it up. Fortunately this transformed into a full time, modern, project-only job for me.

We are lead to believe that "skunkworks" is done by R&D departments, but all I saw were failures in that regard. It was one of:

- R&D does cool things, keep them for themselves and maybe produce some procedures to pass further to Architecture. Random IT person has no benefit and no knowledge from that work.

- R&D doesn't do R&D, it does projects and development, they just have less compliance, which is destroying morale.

- There is a huge startup within the company, which has hundreds of "old" people transfered, new cool cloud tech, new offices, agile flow or whatever else they want to do. It never goes beyond that very group and dies as soon as the product goes into stable production (successfully). No lessons learned, we did things the old way.

- My Business colleagues in one of the biggest banks worldwide were doing full time "project" work, which meant they were designing and testing complex business system. Company had cool bonuses for "innovation". They did a lot of real innovation, proposed and implemented different ways to do business. Never got bonuses as "your team is a project team, so innovation was part of your daily tasks".

- Same company, but in IT - also awesome bonuses for innovation. This was THE topic, your yearly goals were all around it. Can we make tools? No! It's forbidden. Can we code? Forbidden! Can we script? Maybe, if it's not coding. But even if it is you are forbidden to install new tools anywhere. All script languages are forbidden.

I'm not a coder, but can't stand stagnation and obsolete tech. Did several tools which were plainly a workaround compliance. Implemented small custom DNS query engine in VBscript, as this was the only thing I could use on a workstation. In 2015 or so. Did file processing automation for production systems in perl. NOT OFFICIALLY, of course! Perl was forbidden, like everything. So I used Perl build into Oracle Client package - old Oracle with much older Perl inside. Hide and seek game, all day long.

Skunkworks should be mandatory :)
Your username suggests you originally came to HN to dump on Amazon yourself.
All frameworks are great, until you need to do something non-standard, and then you'll spend a large amount of time fighting the framework.

The more "standard" the product you're building, the better off you'll be choosing a framework that is highly structured.

European countries had essentially eliminated passports prior to WW1. Then during the war they were reintroduced as a "temporary" national security measure. Does that justification sound familiar?
> Frameworks like Next.js are good enough to create a static page, but as requirements grow more complex, its limited feature-set and lack of in-depth documentation will feel like a prison.

How so? I found NextJS to be one of the most pleasant and well documented frameworks to work with. Sure, you'll have to read most of the docs to find out how to do something the NextJS way, but so far, I've come to agree with every design choice they've made.

The only gripes I have with it are debugging serverless functions that work in development, but then break in the vercel/aws blackbox.
> The rate of women in the workplace ticked up slightly during WW1 and WW2, but by no means was it a sea change.

WW2 is just where it started, it went from 28% around then to 47% as a percent of labor force, a huge change.

The male labor force doubled in absolute number since then, but the female one increased almost 4X.

The biggest difference from when I was in my early 20s is that I didn't know Mark Zuckerberg's real time net worth loss and it be a constant news story for that day in the news cycle. I knew Bill Gates was the richest man in the world but I couldn't care less.

Actually, I don't think my friends or I even paid attention to the "news" at all in my early 20s. I even worked at an investment firm in college but didn't care at all about investing, the stock market or getting rich.

Ultimately, there was so much going on culturally that I knew I was in the prime of my life and the richest old guy in the world couldn't buy what I had.

Before 2000, everyone wanted to be in the music industry. Whatever business you ran or how much money you had it wasn't as cool as being in the music industry. Now everyone in the music industry wants to be in business.

We have surrendered so much culture to technology that there is just not that much going on at this point besides net worth tracking. There is nothing cool about art besides the net worth value added when it is sold as a NFT or how many views on youtube the piece gets because you know a lot of views add to the person's net worth.

When the culture is mostly net worth tracking then of course working a job is not going to make you happy. You can either be a crypto speculator or youtube celebrity. What matters though is net worth number go up. Net worth number go up is the point of existing as a human. That is a brutal situation as a broke college kid when starting life with a net worth of like -$100k at interest from student loans.

I think you have to expect some kind of hippie dropout thing . Especially if you picture 5 years forward the 18-23 year old generation covid kids are going to reject the system at mass scale.

Edit: I didn't even notice the article is on a site called Making a Millionaire lol. Of course it is.
Yes, and in the Ruby world we also have Sinatra, but notably, people have tried and failed to get Rails-like frameworks up and running in JavaScript (Sails.js, others). The question is whether the problem is the language or the community -- I think it's a bit of both.
I think this is "the" correct analysis.

Rails has a clear one way to do things because there are no/few other options because everything else has withered away.

To put this another way: to have a convention in JS, just pick a convention, and now at least you have a convention, even if everyone else has their own.
Innovation is not random; innovation is a process that must be deliberate.

Randomness can occur in the process but a deliberate process is needed for "random" ideas to become reality.
I answered your question but you don't want to hear it.

I agree with your position - but I don't think it necessarily means you disagree with the other post.

I've completely stopped using FB because I want to connect with my friends and family. After using the product for many years I realized that idly surfing past pictures of children, weddings, BBQs, etc, that despite FB's loud insistence, that's not connection. Even commenting on friends' posts isn't... really connection?

It was idle voyeurism, or drive-by socialization.

Now I make an active attempt to keep in touch with people by, well, directly talking to them. This isn't some brilliant insight on my part - let's be honest, online socialization has been moving towards this for some time. The group chats I'm a part of, and the virtual/IRL meetings are far more fulfilling to me than any amount of FB feed surfing.
Hey man, it's entirely up to you. When you have pretty rare events (like purchase/website conversions) every single one matters, but I feel like you probably have enough information to make an informed decision now.
A bit better in Russia, I would say. (difference could be caused by local food suppliers).

> How many people are effectively managing the disease now who would have died 30 years ago? Perhaps you should be less glib out of respect for their lives.

I don't think the parent commenter was being glib. Treatments are great, but a treatment is not the same thing as a cure. Lots folks successfully treat their diabetes, but I'll bet most of them would prefer a cure for diabetes.
Hey Vadim, how experienced with rails were you before starting reviewbunny?

Would you advise a JS dev(with no prior experience with Rails) who wants to launch multiples MVPs to switch to Rails?

Thanks
I love how you respond with factual statements with "your account is new and dang will ban you". That's not how it works, but go on.
You are right of course, it's not a perfect situation and, yes, many times may still not be able to get your cheese grater off the ground. My question remains though - if you are not allowed targeted advertising, what practical alternatives do you have to mass market your useful product?

We are not looking at this from the point of view of your personal preference where you would rather the product was in a store already, but from the point of view of a legitimate, useful small business which does not have access to a store and which is trying to match their product to consumers.
I know people that also pay cash for two piece of gum at the gas station while clogging the line as the cashier counts out the change for a $100 bill. There are fees associated with handling cash. Banks don't store and transport cash for free and insurance companies don't insure cash losses for free. Why do some places either don't accept cash or put silly restrictions such as "Limit $20 Bills" They don't want to deal with the risks and costs of cash.
I'd like to see ergonomics improvements, particularly to function parameters.

The current best practice of "functional options" and long function chains results in far too many function stubs ... its a minimum of 3 extra lines per parameter. Parameter structs require a whole extra struct.

Suggestion: Just borrow named / optional parameters from Python. It would cut down length and complexity of Go code drastically.

> I feel the exact opposite. I don't really care about content anymore

How do they express what they are doing without content using Instagram? Can you walk me through this?
Yep. And I love how they add in broken behaviour for things like still not being able to properly scroll elements which have `position: fixed`. Or trying to make the page have a static fixed height while scrolling.
I doesn't seem likely that they would leave such a large market, but shrug, who knows. I sure hope they will.
