Damages for defamation are hard to prove.

If someone with a million followers says on Twitter, "I don't like Bob", then Bob is never going to get hired anywhere, but there's no legal case. Indeed, the person voicing the opinion didn't break any laws or do anything wrong--the problem, rather, is with employers who refuse to hire anyone remotely controversial (and who, in doing so, implement "cancel culture", although it's always been the left that is most viciously cancelled).

Free speech is important, but we need to regulate the shit out of search engines and employers in order to protect people from unearned reputation damage.
First time I encounter the term, immediate reaction "hmm, maybe we're already kind of doing this?", thinking about mapping a dozen or so services to different HTTP endpoints/prefixes under the same root.

Then I did a search. Oh lord. One of the top results[0] is an illustrative guide on how to split out a Button component into an independent deployment... I can only hope that applying this on a Button is not supposed to be taken literally but I can also only assume that thousands of professional have now made it their calling to split out every component into its own "microfrontend"...

EDIT: Nope, looks idiomatic. [1]

I’ve never met a single person in real life who believes this (TWAW, etc.). But places like Twitter are foaming with accounts that at least perform these beliefs.

Adding Y to Xy is already a tough sell, but when the upgraded Y costs more than all of Xy? I sympathise with GP. GitHub can do it from an economy of scale and probably 'should' be more expensive, but it can manage not to be (maybe cheaper is actually optimal, given how many more will pay for it, point is it's in some sense 'worth' more) which puts OP in a tough spot.

Imagine trying to sell a better WYSIWYG editor for WordPress for example. You can be better, save time, etc. - it's still always going to be a tough sell to charge more than a fraction of WP itself which offers a WYSIWYG editor and everything else.
It blows my mind that they shot themselves in the foot by marketing to kids.

They never needed to do that. Kids would've gotten their hands on them just the same.

Kids have been smoking cigarettes in school bathrooms since the beginning of time. JUUL was just incredibly incompetent in contrast with the high quality of their product.

I dont get this statement:
```
however, e-cigarettes end up saving billions in health care dollars and quality of life.
```
Where is this from?

Why not just ban all cigeratee?
We all known why, because of commercial profit.
Can we openly discuss the balance between human lives and profit?
It's not like Capitalism is anything but balance profit and humanity, right?

Why involve this "saving billions in health care dollars and quality of life." as a derivative statement. It's much clear to just balance the profit and human lives. And stop muddy the pond with dubious metrics no one can verify.

Dril has about the same number of followers on Twitter as The Guardian has daily active readers. I don't know where you set the bar for relevance, but the author of this piece doesn't even live in America.
The first UI is just bad. It doesn't tell you how far the trail is from you, it doesn't tell you how many other reviews of the trail there are, it doesn't tell you the average rating of the trail, it can't be sorted or filtered.

> A common answer I received was: "I love the push for equal opportunities for men and women, but I desire [traditional gender role] and I dislike having to justify it to myself."

I always found this interesting. Do they think that it's not an option anymore? That's like saying "look, I get that left-handed people should have equal opportunities, but I'm right handed." Why is the option of something else treated as a threat? Is it a form of projection, the fear that it will somehow become illegal to be traditional, because they themselves have been extremely hostile to the nontraditional?
Obviously. The company exists to sell electric cars, not to “care” about workers. Their relationship with workers is to trade money for work.

> Personally I would trust the Linux kernel developers to find and fix security issues

Yeah I highly recommend not having that view. Kernel upstream is the entire reason this problem exists - they spent decades downplaying and deriding security researchers who found root -> kernel privesc, and, in general, have had an incredibly hostile relationship with security professionals.

I don't know the case with Docker as much but my impression is a lot more positive based on what I've seen - integration with Apparmor/SELinux, seccomp, memory safety, etc.
This reminds me a lot of the historical attempts to suppress heliocentrism.
Well if you really felt that way I think you'd take any toxic programming articles down. They are etched into your GitHub at this point, so people will still reference them if eager... But at least taking that action of pulling such posts off your website will speak volumes about your character and standing by your words. Otherwise it's just more lip-service; not much different than Alex's lip-service you draw attention to.
Do you have enough of an understanding of the codebase to know what is over engineering and what isn't? If not, that's the problem I have with a lot of project managers. If you can't understand the codebase, how can you make judgment calls like that? It can be very hard to make the right call between over and under engineered, even if you're intimately familiar with the codebase.

Or historically why cocaine was in Coca Cola?
The post is missing the key point entirely. The issue here is not about a "straightforward" vs "less straightforward" UX. The "card" view likely did not work because users primarily wanted to check reports for a specific trail located in a specific area, and not browse through a feed of reports for pleasure. The UX wasn't just not straightforward—it basically did not work for the primary use case.

It would have been more interesting to compare "straightforward" vs "less straightforward" on the map view. E.g. show markers for all trails nearby vs show markers for your favorite trails (similarly to what the "card" view attempted to do).
The answer is "Publication 28," https://pe.usps.com/text/pub28/welcome.htm, which is long an boring but has the exact details of how USPS wants mail addressed. Now, the thing is, when you send mail first class USPS will apply human effort to understand the address (often to the point of getting it to a post office in the correct city to see if they know what the address means via local knowledge). For this reason addressing mail simply to a large institution often still works fine, although it might get there more slowly because of being rejected by the automated processing machines and having to wait in a queue. The way this works architecturally is that machines attempt to parse the address via OCR and, if that fails, present a scanned image to a human at the remote coding center who then interprets the address. For many mailpieces but seemingly not all, I'm not sure what the exact details are on this, once the address is read once an IMB barcode is added and from there the mailpiece can skip address interpretation as everything just works off of the IMB. To avoid issues with contrast against whatever background it gets printed on the IMB barcode added by processing machines is in a UV-reactive ink that appears very faint under visible light, so you often don't notice it.

Publication 28 becomes far more important if you are a bulk mailer, because when you pay bulk rates or in general enter mail via a business mail entry unit (BMEU), your discounts for bulk mailing are contingent on your preparing the mailpieces exactly the way USPS wants them. This means you need to validate addresses against USPS's database, format them exactly as expected, and include an IMB barcode from the start. This ensures that it will all process through the automated equipment which saves USPS some money and justifies the bulk discounts... along with other bulk mail requirements like presorting by destination, bundling/bagging according to USPS's shipping specs, etc.

IMB barcodes nominally identify exactly where the mail should be delivered, i.e. to the "delivery point" or physical spot, but I'm not sure if this is universally true. There are a lot of sort of odd cases, for example PO boxes have their own ZIP codes and the ZIP+4 on a PO box is typically the ZIP and the box number... but large post offices often have five digit box numbers, in which case curiously the specification is that the ZIP+4 should use the last four digits of the box number. The way this oddity has been explained to me is just that the ZIP+4 was originally conceived as ZIP plus a four-digit route number, but PO boxes have never been handled as "routes," so the +4 is actually sort of meaningless and just needed to be filled with something. But I assume in the case of IMBs the +4 and DP are used to resolve the issue of five-digit PO boxes with the same last four. This also gets weird with the post offices that have lettered PO boxes (e.g. "PO Drawer H," a valid address in a rural PO in my area), I have no idea how this is handled with IMB.

> 2) I'm a little sympathetic to Google here, because there's no way that they can offer real customer service to the entire Internet. I run some small businesses and get dumb phone calls all of the time from confused people thinking that my random shop has anything to do with their phone plan or email issues or a problem with their cable bill or anything else under the sun because they ended up at my store after putting certain keywords into Google. I have no doubt that Google would receive hundreds of thousands of mostly dumb, useless calls daily that they are not responsible for from every confused person out there. There's no feasible way to provide standard customer service to the entire Internet.

I think you are way to sympathetic to Google here. Just look at what the size of your company is compared to Googles in terms of profit/revenue. So they should be able to spend that much more time/resources on dealing with customer support even if that means dealing with some stupid folks calling then because they can't find the chrome icon on their desktop. I mean you are able to deal with stupid requests why should they?

I was initially a skeptic of the cost of Fibre-To-The-Premises, but in hindsight for New Zealand (≈Oregon) I think a national rollout of fibre was very effective[3][4].

AFAIK fibre is more resilient to catastrophes (like earthquakes[1][2] in Christchurch or California), and having a high speed residential fibre network definitely helped during Covid.

I am uncertain what you mean by “efficient”. Perhaps link to something that backs up your opinion?

Ah yes, of course. Thanks for the clarification!
I didn't see any examples of negative "boost". I feel like I'd much prefer to maintain the diversity of the internet by discouraging the dominant crappy sources than by boosting up the finite number of quality sources I can think of
This looks great! Food for thought on pricing: Because you offer free for open source, there’s minimal need for a free trial for private repos. I would consider requiring a credit card and making it a 14 day trial. My experience selling SaaS in the past is this will net you fewer but much more serious evals, so whenever someone signs up you know they are legit and worth your time to contact and support. That leads to higher conversion, better retention, etc.

Best of luck!
Rich text isn't just bold and italics. It also (often) supports tables, embedded images, links, fonts + font sizes and colors. Markdown supports a poor subset of that stuff.

And its not just for "humanity's lowest common denominator". I love being able to copy+paste a table into an email and have it show up correctly. Today's convention where I have to screenshot something to show it to you is horrible.

Markdown isn't the right tool for every job. Would you use markdown to typeset your resume? To write an academic paper?

Lots of popular applications - like Notion or Google Docs - need something more powerful than markdown. And the current javascript APIs are failing them.

I think the lesson is to not think first about your data and how to put it on a screen.

Start with the user and then figure out how to utilize your data to support your UI.

Dumping database records to a list view on the screen, no matter how pretty you make each entry, is rarely useful.
It's not that A implies B. It's that B is contained within B. It's simple statistics.

It's like when we talk about alcohol consumption. Yes there are negative effects from the calories and other stuff in beer, but the main negative health effects come from the alcohol in the beer, so we talk in terms of alcohol consumption not beer (without the alcohol) consumption.

Nicotine is the same thing, it's far worse than the simple act of smoking. It changes the brain chemistry to be dependent on it, it hardens your vessels and leads to long term systemic hypertension (high blood pressure) that can cause tons of other issues.

Smoking is a form of nicotine consumption. If cigarettes didnt have nicotine we wouldn't smoke them.

Smoking causes X number of preventable deaths per year, which is the most preventable deaths in any one bucket. There are other forms of nicotine consumption, which also cause preventable deaths which add to that number. So Y number of additional deaths due to chewing tobacco, Z additional due to vaping nicotine and the systemic circulatory issues that come with that. It's a simple fact that X < X + Y + Z
Look at how these big silicon valley FAANGs and all the competition trying to emulate them hire. They shoot for kids coming right out of college and then do their best to make their life cushy and happy enough that they never question the situation.

They're drinking the Kool-Aid because the companies give them just enough of the real stuff. Obviously this isn't true for everyone and there are people in the industry there who learn over time, but there's just too many people in the region who believe in the propaganda.
Can you cite any actual research supporting the claim the e-cigarettes are actually "less terrible"?
I think you're right. The expected value of a result is generally low in these fundamentally geographical applications that try to avoid displaying a map. There tends to be both inclusion and exclusion error, and viewing things on a map helps for most applications of this type.
at my current job, we use Microsoft's PowerApps and PowerBI by IT/Business analysts.

Of course as said by one of the author the key is to control port 22 or rule for ssh. That is not a totally lost. Still, one that is ok … you are breaking the system by promoting a way to bypass it. Or just 1 rule. It is so hard to remember.

As mentioned above, you can think of Astro as something like a love child between Toptal + Gusto + WeWork + Amazon. Unlike Toptal or Turing, etc, we fulfill local benefits, equipment, even team-building events.

We’re proud of the fact that developers in Latin America have a much better experience working with us. That’s because our customers (i.e. the companies using Astro) are looking to scale their engineering departments with long-term stakeholders, not temporary “horsepower”, and also because real tech culture (the sort of thing devs in Silicon Valley take for granted) is a huge draw for developers, but nearly impossible to find via outsourcing shops, and very hit-and-miss on Toptal/Turing.

We believe our approach gives teams access to teammates that are otherwise unreachable on platforms like Toptal, etc. and traditional outsourcing/staffing firms.
Are early startup employees in Latin America finally getting stock or are they going to continue being exploited as they build unicorn after unicorn?

Not always. Some filesystems allow small files to be compacted into other structures: the MTF can hold small in NTFS, ext* and btrfs support similar inlining of data in inodes for small files, other filesystems (ZFS, Reiser, btrfs again) support more general sub-block allocation (with techniques such as tail packing or block sub-division). Sometimes this is only for small files not “oddly” sized larger files, but things like tail packing can apply to the latter too.

Takeaway: NAT around netnses is as about as bad a substitute for explicit filtering + proper bind discipline as it always was for local networks. So we should treat containers the same way we've long known to treat the hosts behind a NAT: sure, the NAT itself provides a little bit of defense in depth, but that's basically accidental and services should still be independently secured.
The FTC Robotics competition mostly uses two Android phones per robot: one for the robot and one for the controller. They use WiFi Direct to link up.
For a while (and in some cases still) the phones only supported 2.4GHz.
Congestion on the 2.4GHz bands may or may not lead to disconnects during competition play, so a general rule is no 2.4GHz networks. No hotspots, no access points, nothing.

Now in my use case I needed to deploy some cheap wireless devices to do things like queuing, automation, camera tally lights, etc. but couldn't because of that restriction, since many devices (Raspberry Pi, ESP32) only supported 2.4GHz. I ended up using the RTL8720DN or devices that contain it such as the Seeed Wio Terminal.
There's usually tight period where you can make money when these new ecosystems pop up.

With Android/iPhone, it was clearly 2008-2012, as you mentioned.

With Google/SEO, it was 2004-2010 (right before Google Panda/Penguin algorithm).

With SaaS, it was 2010-2016, IMO.
In such a component-oriented circumstance, what is the motivation for choosing a “microfrontend” approach instead of, say, a component?

few people touching the code is easy mode IMO. much easier to not introduce bugs if you've designed half the system and are deeply familiar with its various idiosyncrasies. good architecture is not a must here, although fewer people obviously also make it easier to stay consistent and make larger refactors at once without stepping on anyones toes.

sometimes that bug free thing that just works and was written all by one guy is just a real pig behind the scenes, but hey, that guy always knew what not to do, no matter how messy the APIs.
A lot of the value of containers seems to be in providing the ease of deployment benefits of a static executable to languages that don’t support compiling to a static executable.
