I worked with an Atlassian consulting firm for a short period while at a big org. Needless to say the consulting firms recommend the big orgs to do things differently from what they do.

Jira - Everyone has the performance issue, to avoid it they tell them to carefully choose extensions and not randomly litter it, especially with extensions that conflict each other.

Confluence - They recommend to establish a proper structure in advance that everyone follows with templates that everyone can use(not the default ones), so that the cemetery issue doesn't happen.

That said, I haven't seen any company who's confluence wasn't a knowledge cemetery. But regardless of how much I dislike Jira, I'd still pick confluence over google docs.
the sooner this shit heap of a company fails the better
The official VSCode Jira extension is much faster than the web UI. Fast to search, see your own issues, create, jql, integrated git. Highly recommend
I think that is a false dictomy.

CHERI has shown that this kind of fundamental architectural improvements can happen with very little impact to running code.
> But it doesn't really do much that you couldn't also do with a PC

the big thing you are missing is that PI can be used for electronics and robotics- it has GPIO, SPI and I2C accessible from python, javascript, etc.

this was unheard of previously - if you buy a normal PC or even an industrial SBC, even when the pins are exposed they are often 1.8 volts, which is impossible to work with for a hobbyist. The binsings are usually some unusable C header file.

all the people who could plug in Kinect and make a robot that navigates a 3d environment would be stuck without a pi
IANAA (I am not an actuary) but surely this can't be the entire computation. Death is only one reason a solo SaaS might fail. The real problem is mental noise, and the fact that large organizations have the positive side-effect of averaging out that noise to produce coherent, predictable actions. (The humanist wants to point out the "noise" is sentiment, artistry, beauty, and the coherent behavior is that of a profit-driven sociopath, but the point stands.)

What I'm saying is that their chance of death is .2% but their chance of discovering Buddha, deciding to give up everything and become a monk, or meeting the woman of their dreams and going to live the simple life in Thailand, and so on, are much, much greater.
Tough to hear. At a time it was the only company keeping Epic in check (after the horrors of UE3), probably the reason they had such an open and lax license for UE4.
yea I actually miss JIRA too
I would like to pair for an interview but I don't think I've ever done that across over 100 of them. It might be hard for me though, because I'm a generalist and often apply to jobs where I haven't used the stack recently.
We peacefully disagree then. I don't expect a company that treats their warehouse workers like s*t to all of a sudden find a moral cause and stand on it, especially when that company has continually shown that it cares about money above all.
That's fine. But does anyone actually think the world BTC price is being manipulated? And if so, why is an ETF on a Future on Spot Ok, but a ETF direct on spot is not? Allowing one but not the other seems like a tickbox exercise no?
It is a user experience choice. Most decent native macOS apps adhere to system conventions. Text editing works as one would expect in a system text field. Keyboard shortcuts behave as expected. Custom keyboard shortcut definitions from the Keyboard section in Preferences actually work. And on and on.

Slack in particular is extremely, extremely slow, even by Electron standards. I can't expand it to the full-height of a 4K (running at 1080p) portrait monitor without typing becoming unbearably laggy, so I either have to keep it at 1/3 monitor height, or have to use another application for writing the text.

>> Why the f* is everyone sending our data to FB by default? It's not enough to uninstall FB; you can't even go buy prescription medicine without them knowing, apparently.

In a sense, because "control the default" is a tactic engrained deep in the DNA of many tech giants. Control the default, and dominate the data. The default is the easy option in live, practical contexts. You have to actively pursue an alternative.

They're just in the same boat we're in. Data goes to data companies by default... anytime anyone does anything with data. If you use adwords, GA, FB advertising or whatnot... the default, ideal even, is that these get all the data. That way everything works best, and requires the least special effort and expertise.
I understand that refunds cost money. I have a SaaS boilerplate (https://getparthenon.com) with a 30-day free trial and then still offer a 6-month refund policy (6-months if you pay for the year, the full currente month if you're paying monthly). Why? Because I believe in my product. I also don't want people to go around regretting buying it, if they try to make something it doesn't go well for them then they can have their money back. Also, not many people actually ask for refunds. So mostly, it's just a good policy to have that costs me very little.

No. It’s correct as written. The point of this phrasing is to establish a waiver of the cancellation period for distance selling. The reason for the UK and EUs 14 day cancellation period for distance selling is to give a proper opportunity to inspect the goods and ensure they are fit for purpose.

There is a waiver that vendors can require customers to accept for various types of purchase, such as digital purchases, on the grounds that there’s no need for the goods to be inspected, or that “inspecting” the goods is so indistinguishable from “using the goods” that the 14 day period makes no sense.

Here, Nintendo are saying “our obligations under this contract are being met immediately, not after you’ve had 14 days to inspect and accept the goods”.

I wish people/you would either be more open minded or at least do a quick Google search. Literally searching for "brain heating headache" got these results which suggest that there is evidence showing a possible relationship. I am not even sure if this conversation is in good faith anymore.

If authentication isn't your core business there's little reason to handle all these things yourself.
If it is working for you, that is great, but...

Death is not the only reason people quit working on a project. They could get a better offer, their family situation could change, they could get sick or injured, or they could simply get sick of it, just to name a few.

Also, keeping a SaaS online does cost money. And those costs increase as you scale. If you are small enough that you can run on a free tier, you are too small for me to have confidence that you are sticking around.
It is just a ticketing system with a very robust business process engine.

Most complaints I’ve heard about Jira boil down to the horrible processes people choose to implement in it.

even within one group I've seen some teams use gitlab issues rather than jira. It made a little extra work for someone I'm sure, but it worked fine. I think there are plenty of tools that do what a developer needs. Jira also does what the manager needs. If there were some good alternative for them, I think we'd see jiras hold slip.
But why? It's released as a docker container, say I deploy this container, as-is, with Cloud Run or Lambda or whatever, since I'm not "linking" my code against it, I'm just sending it SSML requests as one of several TTS backends, no virality provision applies, I just have to provide users with a download link to the same upstream code I am using. I imagine a lawyer working at a technology company can understand the use case I just described and pattern-match it against the AGPL requirements, what am I missing?
This is the same argument AT&T used to forbid third party telephones on their network. It didn’t convince then, and it does not convince now. Tolerating third party clients should just be part of the cost of doing business and part of the design of robust protocols.
> Atlassian has somehow become the Benjamin Button of the tech sector — profitable as a startup and loss making as it has matured.

They where profitable, they didn’t need funding the only funding they took was for staff to sell some of the equity.

Them now making a loss I think is more a deliberate choice, not a business failure. They could of continued as they where making $$$ but instead choose to go from 700 people at ipo to near 7k today for pretty much the same product suite.

Those 7k people have to be working on a lot of stuff behind the scenes, building on existing products and maybe yet to be released products. Atlassian always said they where big on long term investment. I’m sure they could be profitable if they wanted but then would need to massively cut the long term investment.

I’m not to worried about Atlassian. Every large org I worked at is run off Jira. I do regret not selling a small parcel of TEAM at the end of last year though when it was over $440usd a share
I haven’t touched Trello in years. Not sure if they stagnated or Atlassian did not put enough resources in it.
Not really. I looked into this last time it came up, and it seems to be mostly confirmation bias. A Google search of news stories and police statements showed plenty of examples where the passive voice was used to describe suspect actions and the active voice used to describe police actions, including shootings.
Latest versions of YouTrack come with a knowledge base and pretty flexible workflows support. I'm curious why YouTrack never seems to be listed as a Jira+Confluence competitor, given the similar target markets.
> But then, the East India Company was a strange beast. Chartered on the last day of 1600, the Company was a joint-stock corporation that grew to control most of the Indian subcontinent and wield a mercenary military larger than Britain’s army. Though a private monopoly, it was also a “quasi-independent state body,” writes Ratcliff, closely tied to the British Crown. The 1811 invasion of Dutch Java, for instance, was a combined Royal Navy and East India Company affair. And the British government would bail the joint-stock corporation out financially more than once on the “it’s-too-big-to-fail” model of state-capitalism.

And this explains so much of what we find today. There is no clear delineation between government and corporations. One country's corporations will work with another country even (EIC + the Dutch) for their benefit.

> the East India Company _was_ a strange beast

The trick is to make you think that the East India Company is a relic of the past. Rather than the model that is in use everywhere. Vanguard, BlackRock anyone?
I think solving problems in an interview and not in an interview are two very different things. In other words, it seems to me there's a difference between solving a problem however I want vs. solving one on a phone or video call while someone is twiddling their thumbs. If anything, there's no room for subconscious thinking which I heavily rely on.

Also, sometimes I feel like a "monkey in a circus". Sometimes I want to say, "I'll solve your problem if you solve mine". Is power imbalance the right phrase?
Here's my pitch semi-related to that topic from when the beta Mimic3 made it to HN: :)

Here in the UK, saying someone is "American" generally means they're from the USA. However, many of us have trouble distinguishing between Canadian and American accents (except of course French Canadian). That often leads to confusing Canadians with Americans.

Every time there is an update I wonder what feature they removed or is broken. I still cannot properly add images in lists or continue the numbering in a new list to work around this "feature".

They also broke markup/down import which is another kind of hell.

When you say "low quality building on large sections in a vast area" that makes me think of American style restrictive single-family zoning. And hey, looks like they had something similar until last year: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/dec/15/new-zealand-ha...

>Planning law has long been criticised for being restrictive, unwieldy and slow. It is blamed in part for slowing down housing development, entrenching single-house dwellings, and creating urban sprawl, which has implications for transport, infrastructure and climate change.

>Building a standard single-story house in New Zealand comes with a lot of paperwork, but trying to build a multi-storey or multi-dwelling development could tie someone up in regulatory battles for months or years, at great expense.

>If an area is zoned as a single-family area, the standard residence is a single house with a garden. Anyone wanting to build multiple dwellings, or anything other than a standard house, requires consent from the local council. Councils can reject the application for a whole number of reasons, including, for example, an unhappy neighbour about to lose some sunlight.

So it just proves my point even more. Left to their own devices, people do not naturally make nothing but low density low quality suburbia. It didn't exist until government zoning was introduced after WW2. Same thing happens here: the Deanobox is a product of a restrictive planning regime.

If you really want to see what happens when people are allowed to build, look at Tokyo. A first world megalopolis, that is also affordable. They understand the revolutionary idea that homebuilding has to keep pace with the growth in residents.
If you read the TL;DR, that might help you get it. The rest of the article is a good read.
I agree with you - the less inhibitions they have, the more popular they can get. From this standpoint, morals and sensitivity to certain things just add friction to popularity. If someone does this in polictics, they call it populism.

Now, of course, this isn't a holy grail for success. But it's a factor.
For a micro, see iAPX 432. It was considered over-complicated for its time but if CHERI catches on, perhaps far ahead of its time.

Also interesting to me was the idea in Darek Mihocka's blog NO EXECUTE! about using emulation to implement advanced processor features rather than forcing everything through a one size fits all hardware policy. Of course emulation will always have a performance hit, but the concept is interesting.

This happens all to often though. Small company comes out swinging to upset the status-quo, essentially poking the bear.

From there it either plays out one of two ways depending on how competent the management of the incumbent is.

1. They underestimate and continually disregard the startup. This generally leads to AMD vs Intel situation. Don't do this.

2. Understand the threat they pose and systematically match all of their advantages, smothering them with investment they can't afford to keep up with. This is essentially what Epic did here and generally what you should always do if you have a dominant market position and can afford it.

Unity is left in a bad situation because accessibility to their engine was it's key draw. A few years ago people also felt it was an easier engine to develop games on but that viewpoint has been shifting back to UE4 as of late because of the difficulty studios have had "actually shipping" Unity based titles, let along long-term maintenance issues. In terms of pure quality Unreal has generally (but not always) been on top and definitely in terms of capability and performance.

Doesn't help that Epic has an enormous cash-cow in the form of Fortnite while Unity has next to no income outside of it's in-game advertising business.
They also bet heavily on VR and that hasn't panned out to be as profitable as people thought it would be with the majority of revenue in the VR/AR space being heavily skewed into the enterprise, government and military verticals which aren't where Unity performs well.
This would result in exactly the disparity in "dollars per vote(r)" that was pointed out above. Because if more people apply for and get the same amount of grants as a smaller group of people, then the former group will have less dollars per individual.

That's already the case. Since you must be able to identify yourself when asked, you have an obligation to carry your identification with you.

I believe the obligation to carry identification, and to have identification are enforced differently in different countries / states. But there is more information here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obligation_of_identification

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_identity_cards_in_the...

> At some point there will be a situation where you cannot do anything because you are in the 0.01% of the system that is broken.

Not wanting to identify yourself and not being able to identify yourself are two seperate topics. I sympathise with people who fall outside of the system, but e-identity is currently a matter of convenience for people who already have identity documents and are seeking easier ways of accessing services online.
I don't think interview problem solving is a good barometer for a person's problem solving skills. For example, you can't use subconscious thinking. And the pressure is much greater (which can really change things).
I'll be honest: my decision is that I will come back to Vlang after (at least) six months, and hope that someone does a similar analysis, or do that analysis myself, and then reconsider.

Basically, if the author of that blog posts found (IMO) straightforward ways to invalidate Vlang's claims in ~1 month with the language, I suspect that I will also find _other_ ways to also invalidate Vlang's claims in a straightforward manner. While that's fine for an alpha stage language that I would contribute to, I currently don't have the interest/ability/bandwidth to contribute to a compiler project.

Also, I would like to recommend that you add language to the home page and the Github to the effect of: "Vlang is currently in alpha, and you might discover bugs that contradict some of the claims below. Since this is a WIP project, please contribute!" I literally couldn't Ctrl-F and find the word alpha.

Again, thank you very much for your open source efforts!

Btw, Volt's MacOS app doesn't work (neither the M1 version, nor the Intel). It just displays a blank white page.
Yep, agreed. Good observation about operational expenses: management can really fuck things up when it comes to it. But with a large enough company, this might not affect the success. I agree about the "collateral damages" part. And I'd like to rectify my previous post and say it does also affect innovation, culture, long-term-growth, etc., alongside with the sanity of individual collaborators.
Nope. Most people voted for Brexit because we wanted our sovereignty back. We welcome legal immigrants and 6 million or EU immigrants so have chosen to stay here after Brexit. We don't welcome illegal immigrants. While in the EU we had to take EU immigrants over non-EU which was hardly fair. Now both EU and non-EU immigrants are treated the same.
This sounds about right.

On a fixed lease, the landlord generally can't kick you out. But when a fixed-lease ends, unless it's explicitly renewed, it automatically becomes a month-to-month lease which can be ended by the tenant with one month's notice, or the landlord with two months notice. In my experience landlords prefer to renew as a fixed-term.
