What if your users are developers or engineers? I haven't had a ton of luck with my specific niche and product management (niche domain; final product is a library developers code against) across multiple companies. I can imagine your statements can apply to some future market where we have plenty of engineers, but in the US, we have a shortage. It's hard to imagine how to use your advice when we cannot find enough engineers with the domain and technical skill combo. Let alone one to convert to product. What do we do for the rest of my career which will probably continue to have a shortage of engineers?

Our solution is to trust the experts, but certainly there must be something better than "whatever the current engineer thinks."
You're confusing your own experience for the reality of the market. My last three employers use Angular. My current employer just replaced an AngularJS app with a new Angular 11 app for a Fortune 100 client.

Go to a job listing site and you'll find just as many positions hiring for an Angular dev (often paired with C#/ASP) as you will React.
If you're on React these days ReactFlow (https://reactflow.dev) is good for this.
Musk bought into both of those, however much he would like it forgotten.

The only thing he started himself that has worked out so far is SpaceX. Yet the whole Martian colony line is 100% grift. Starlink might yet flop, as it needs more subscribers than it probably can support. SpaceX has been very good at eliciting government handouts.

Starship will absolutely not be able to turn around in less than 30 days until after they figure out a tile scheme different enough from NASA's, if ever.

It is very far from certain the chopsticks catching scheme will work.

Each time a Superheavy detonates on the launchpad (which will happen) will set them back months, because it will wipe out the whole "stage 0" and tank farm.
When I announced the launch of 70 Million Jobs on HN back in 2017, it proved to be one of the most widely read and discussed posts ever on the site. I was totally blown away. Once again, I am struck by the incredibly sensitive and supportive tenor of the reactions to my news here.

For some context, besides having a criminal record, I was/am a solo founder who somehow talked his way into Y Comb. Perhaps most surprising is my age: I'm 68. To my friends I grew up with, I'm f'-ing Steve Jobs. To you guys, you'd no doubt see me as the bumbling great uncle at Thanksgiving that isn't allowed to touch the TV remote control.

So it's all been pretty weird. (wanna see it get weirder? google me and check out my past)

As you all know, doing a 2-sided marketplace is always tough. But imagine if neither side of your marketplace was convinced they wanted your product. Chances are you keep your distance from such an undertaking ("Build something people want," my YC t-shirt says). I build something arguably no one wanted, but I knew they needed. Does that make me a schmuck? Probably.

But to those who've never gotten close to someone with as record--particularly someone with a different color than you, who was brought into an unfair world from Day One, someone who wanted the same things as you, but never quite figured out how to get there, I'm here to say that some of these folks are the most honorable, humble, appreciate, hard-working people you could imagine. They just want a peaceful life, to take care of their family and get a good night sleep.

So that's where the mission comes in, and that's when zealots are born. The truth is, I have nothing in my life other than my work. No wife, no kids, no home, nothing. But the satisfaction I got from helping these heroic folks, and the smiles I'd see on their kids' faces when they were reunited, meant/means the world to me. If you don't have something like this in your life, I urge you to find it. Your karma will thank you for it.

I invite you all to ask your questions and continue to opine. If you have something to share that isn't merely an attempt to win an argument, I'd appreciate your taking the time to email me. More importantly, if you're ever in a position to hire someone with a record, take the chance. Life is too short not to take chances. Richard
So then maybe "society is in ruins because people are allowed to own things I don't think they should be allowed to own" is a bit hyperbolic, yes?
All you accomplished was to fixate on the word “vote” which I never used and thus proving that you are the one who has some kind of weird fetish for voting with regards to democracy... congrats.
This would be true if cultures didn't change, but they do. Switch your argument to something else, say splashing water on fires using tools. By your logic the technology can't ever be disentangled with the purpose of extortion, a bad purpose. Yet time passed and now firefighting isn't an extortion in which your house burns down unless you pay the firefighters. In that case, splashing water on fires really is just splashing water on fires. It also isn't like the business model was without perverse incentive - start a fire and you potentially get paid for putting it out.

This isn't me saying you're wrong that people are making a mistake in ignoring externalities, but more that the reason why it is a mistake isn't that they correctly articulated one component in the problem they were thinking about - its because they ignored the other stuff which interacts with it.

There's no private industry competition in academia, which allows those old scientists to become old slow codgers.

Most scientific breakthroughs through out history were just private citizens outside of the conventional academic establishment.

We need to put an end to these government restrictions on buying supplies and equipment which keeps the research down to just a tiny fraction of the population.

Allowing private citizens to do research would put a fire under those old codgers asses.
I’m working with ionic at the moment on an Angular app, it’s brilliant
I read through your post and found it odd how "most likely relaxed environment" was only really mentioned once.

If they're paying similar amounts, you have non-career benefits (i.e. getting better at German, work culture, etc) and it's a relaxed environment, it definitely sounds worth doing if you're at a point where you want less stress. Sounds to me like you are considering why you're leaving your current job.

Hope this helps :)
how large was the "pandemic bailout"? it looked like two checks from the govt and < 1 year of increased (doubled?) unemployment. seems like a total of $8,000 or less for most people, with a wide variance from person to person.

Was this enough to make a large number of people stop working, even now into mid-2022? I really feel like the impact of several thousand dollars would be gone after a year, at most. yet many businesses near me are still under staffed and having trouble hiring.
This is awesome.

I have been toying with writing my own little JVM language (for education purposes) and this could go a long way to making that a bunch easier.

Thanks for sharing!
hi, thank you for this suggestion! We noticed the same issue during development and we definitely have it listed as a feature we'd like to add on. :) I do not believe that handling touch events is an issue with Svelte - for example, with Svelvet you should still be able to pan and zoom across the graph on your phone. We just don't have that functionality with dragging nodes yet.

Definitely not on social issues, the vast majority of Europe consider American left wing identity politics batshit insane just like your christian fundamentalists.

From economic side probably yes, but that's not straightforward either. Conservatives in Eastern Europe often hold power by generous social programs and benefits while liberals want to cut it down.

I'm on board for removing 'master-slave' terminology from peripherals and replication terminology. I'm on board for removing blacklist/whitelist. But "master" has other meanings besides subjugation. In particular, proficiency or perfection. It was always my sense that git master branch was meant in the same sense as 'gold master' in recording and duplication, or 'master piece' in art and skilled labor.

That said, branches come from trunks, not master or main, and it always felt like a bit of fuckery that git changed the subversion terminology that most of the eventual target audience was already familiar with. Changing to "main" is just confidently incorrect grandstanding. If you're gonna 'fix it' then bloody well fix it.
I know those things are frustrating but it's against the rules of the hiring threads to post about them here. Readers don't have any way of figuring out what actually happened, and trying to figure it out would take the thread way off topic.

As someone who is now a couple years into using Angular after a number of years working with Vue (since 1.0) your observations are accurate. It doesn't really get any better as you become more familiar with the framework.

It is just a little bit disingenuous to demand people not take demands at their face, plain English value, and instead to somehow infer that something less extreme is meant.

I mean, "reform" is right there...
Yes, you're right, and I also do it. Doesn't mean however that I need to bury my head in the sand in topics such as this and never mention it.
They're both suited to their individual purposes.

Info pages are like big old clunky manuals with diagrams and schematics and "theory of operation" chapters. Great when you're on the ground doing maintenance.

Man pages are like quick reference handbooks. Great when you're already at 30,000' and just need to keep the plane flying.
>Only a little over 1/3rd are actually in prison for violent crime

On that chart, I was a little bit surprised to see the percentages for:

- category (g) (Homicide, Aggravated Assault, and Kidnapping Offenses) and
- category (l) (Sex Offenses)

...are as high as they are (although probably not that high in absolute numbers) for federal prison. I wonder where one could find a breakdown of the offenses? I'd have thought the only way to get a federal rape or murder sentence would be to commit the act on an FBI agent or other on-duty federal agent (Secret Service, US Marshals, Postman, others?). But I guess maybe soldiers who have been court-martialed end up in federal prison? That might explain most of those? And maybe kidnapping becomes a federal offense if you cross state lines?

If I may: Dave Smith did not popularize the polyphonic analog synthesizer. That was Tom Oberheim, with his 4-voice and 8-voice SEM module systems (and there were earlier examples than that using voice division).

What Dave Smith did with the Prophet-5 (not V) was something much more important. The Prophet-5 was the first significant synthesizer on the market with patch storage and recall, and this required for the first time RAM and a CPU in a synthesizer. Patch storage was absolutely revolutionary. It changed the entire synthesizer field. Realizing the potential of a CPU inside a synthesizer, Dave Smith then went on to propose what later became MIDI.
I try to give a generous interpretation to what people are saying but I just don’t see how your statements can be taken as anything other than derogatory to progressives.

You make the baseless claim that progressive views are well known because progressives are vocal and active. This implicitly disavows the notion that progressive views are well known for other reasons; for instance by being what people desire without said desire being the product of brainwashing. You sort of imply that their worldview (as if there is a singular worldview the majority of progressives agree with) is popular because of propagandizing. This might the the case but it need to be backed up with some convincing evidence.

You are framing the issue of CNN wanting to shift its business focus as something that will hard to do because progressives are obstinate and obsessed with being vocal and staying on message. This is demeaning and quite frankly stupid.

Tucker Carlson used to work for CNN. He found a more lucrative niche catering to right wing news junkies. He’s a showman, an entertainer. He can shift emphasis on a dime because he is a professional and likes the money/attention. The same goes for most people in show business. Framing things in terms of how progressives or conservatives are in this instance is…well, I’ll say it’s weird.
Sure but at some point the money gets too low to risk it even if you are in the dumps, no? Would you take 1 million for 50%? 10k for 50%? 10 bucks for 1%? 1 dollar for 1%?

At some point it goes from a life changing amount of money to just "meh" money.
Awesome! I started this for educational purposes too, but if it turns out to be useful then I'll be very happy! Hope it turns out that way (and let me know if there's anything else you need to make it useful! :) )
In technology master was always paired with slave, so yes, the word master in technology does indeed imply the meaning of slave owner.

I do agree that getting that bent out of shape about the semantics of the names of inanimate objects like git branches is a bit weird, but then I am also talking from a position of privilege and have no lived experience of being treated differently because of my ancestry. The way I figure: if some people care that much that it is called “main” and not “master”, and I don’t really care either way, why not let them have that one?
Just a question, when you do get released, what do you plan on doing? Are there government programs to train in certain areas?

> What I said is I understand finding them comforting if your ideological biases align with their approach

I apologize for being argumentative, but originally you didn't say "approach" you said "ideological biases" which I interpret on its own as a synonym for political views.

> mistaking them for quality news sources is... surprising

This statement you didn't really support with anything, though of course you're not obligated to. In the absence of that I'm not sure why you would find it surprising that people with Pulitzer prizes for their work in journalism are considered quality sources. I'd be very curious what you consider a quality source to be.
I'd say it's not even only a racial issue (but predominately was/is in the United States), but a socioeconomic one, with racial correlations.

There are plenty of modern day indentured servitude exploitations afoot: the leaked internal Amazon documents about it being business policy to keep engineering hires for less than two years, while preserving managers who fire them, is an example that springs to mind.

At this point, I think “a lot of free time” is a more limited resource than supplies and lab equipment. Though I may be biased as I come from an extremely non-capital-intensive field (pure math).
What was the kid’s reaction?
Switching master to main has literally nothing to do with the imaginary (in this particular case) racial issue.

Master bedrooms and master records exist. People master their trades. And so on and so on.

My understanding is that the absolute vast majority of people of color couldn't care less if git branch was called master or main.
> the problem is the accompanying music and banner font and color scheme

I hate the flashy animated bumpers they (all of them, all American television) use to segue everything. Stars and color gradients swooping around the screen, computer animated robots throwing footballs at each other like howitzers, animated channel logos exploding in fireballs, it's all completely insufferable.

And some pieces will take infinite time to rent out if the price is set too high. The point is the land was just as unique before and after the tax. If you believe in supply and demand curves at all, this example is straight forward. Land has essentially fixed supply, so the curve is vertical and outside of a few weird exceptions can't change. The demand curve for your individual unique piece of land will be unchanged if the landlord pays the tax (taxes don't cause tenants to be willing to pay more) or be lowered by the tax if the tenant pays the tax (total spend by tenant unchanged). The new intersection of the lines determining the market price is either unchanged or lowered by the tax depending on who pays. This is unlike other supply and demand examples where in response to the tax you reduce supply causing the supply and demand curves to intersect at a higher price point.

I don't know how it relates, but I feel compelled to mention the PPP loan program as the largest part of the "pandemic bailout". It was $400 billion dollars in loans given out and forgiven with no repayment, to individual business owners and self-employed persons just as much as corporations. The average "loan" was just under $100K.

I would imagine the recruiting company that provides the placement only gets paid after the employee has been with the company for a certain period of time.

The same way companies offer a bonus to current employees if they recommend some for hire and they maintained their employment for 90 days or so.
The Product Manager owns the what?, they don't own the how? or how long?. They're getting feedback and directing the sales team, the marketing team, the engineering team, the UI team, the QA team and the support team. It should be easy for a competent engineering team to get patching on the backlog - after all, that's table stakes. Organizations struggling with the mundane is the very definition of dysfunctional.
The concern is that with enough printing (aka 2020-21) there aren't enough wise investments to put the money into. If capital is already cheap, even cheaper capital doesn't help anyone.

I'm the author of `cheat`. Regrettably, I agree with you regarding the lack of `apt` packaging as a major barrier to adoption.

I've looked into creating it previously, but found it to be non-trivial. Like a lot of FOSS maintainers, I'm pretty strapped for time these days, and I simply haven't gotten around to it yet.

The next round of work I want to do on this project is to improve the CI pipeline. My dayjob these days largely involves configuring CI pipelines, and yet the `cheat` workflow for the time being involves me running `make` on my local machine and dragging-and-dropping binaries into the Github UI. It's embarassing.

Once I get the CI squared away, I'll take a look at `apt` packaging.

Seeing this project on Hacker News has given me renewed motivation, however. Perhaps I can free up some time this weekend :)
You seem upset? Github, Bitbucket, Gitlab have all switched to main, together. You know who isn't upset? The git community or the person that introduced the master concept or the people who know you can name your default branch to anything in under 30 seconds.

There is nothing wrong with trying to use more inclusive language regardless of said reasons, and to be honest main is actually a better name anyways.
