> Whether or not Mathematica is a better language is irrelevant as it doesn't have the properties required a large community contributing value for free.

The issue is that other languages which were better and more appropriate for scientific computing _had_ those properties. Or maybe these properties are very specific to python and then an open-source mathematica wouldn't have made a difference either.

> And it isn't like Mathworks didn't miss the boat too. But they are still an order of magnitude more successful than Wolfram Research.

Depends on your definition of success, of course. You focus on adoption but that's not the only goal. The company is an order of magnitude larger but that doesn't make the product an order of magnitude better.
I thought Jira and Confluence were bad, until I started using the Facebook internal wiki and task tools...
I believe you're either the creator or a maintainer of V. Thank you for your open source efforts!

This is my first time running across V, and it looks like the HN community generally considers Vlang's claims misleading.

I found a factual (IMO) evaluation of Vlang's claims here: https://mawfig.github.io/2022/06/18/v-lang-in-2022.html#summ... . I've tried looking at your replies on the HN thread that discusses it, and what I gathered is that almost all of the deficiencies in that analysis are factually correct, but will be corrected in future, non-alpha, versions of Vlang.

Is that impression correct? If not, is there a centralized place where you debunk the claims? (I understand you're an open source contributor and might not have the time, but I'm just letting you know that I won't engage with the language further without seeing something like that).

If my impression was correct, I would like to say that I concur with the general HN sentiment that the state of the language is so immature/alpha as to really cast doubt on whether the list of claimed features will actually be achieved at some point in the future.
Notifications are just one aspect. As mentioned by others discoverability is another. An independent forum has to compete with commercial sites and well the entire www regarding search engine placement to be found.

Market concentration is a huge problem in the US economy and makes many foods much more expensive. Take hospital services for example.

My claim is that a ton of time and energy is wasted focusing on Amazon as an example of a firm which is a monopoly, which it simply is not.

I would love to see vigorous enforcement of existing rules but it should be directed at markets where there is a plausible case to be made.

People can still claim children without any evidence. I worked with a cook who claimed like 6 or 7 kids. He never filed taxes at the end of the year so he didn’t need a SSN for them.
I meant "walking TO a foreign city".

For example, imagine that I am taking an intercontinental flight in 8 hours:

- I spend 8 hours flying from London to Mumbai. The majority of my CO2 emissions come from the plane jet engines.

- I spend a month walking between London and Mumbai. The majority of my CO2 emissions come from the food I consume.

Note if I DID fly I would not have spent that 1 month eating, BNBing, using Air Con for a month. Which means that is the CO2 cost of my month-length walk.

It is of course not turned on by default. I don't know how bad the performance hit is, but it's an option so you get to choose the tradeoff. Either your git operations are slow or you take the small hit on all operations. If you spend all of your time working in a big repo it's probably going to be worth it.

You're saying it doesn't make sense to solve problems in interviews, but you're not saying why.

It makes a lot of sense to solve problems in interviews, the interviewer gets to see your thought process and it prevents cheating by getting someone else to solve the problem. Furthermore, unlike talking about past projects, the interviewer can compare the answers of different candidates on the same problem.

"It depends", there's both optics and trust.

A single person is always a liability due to the "hit-by-a-bus" factor.

The optics solution: Don't look like a single person, hide behind an LLC
(in some countries you can look up the financials though so having money in it from consulting,etc is prob a good idea so it doesn't look vulnerable)

A trust solution: You could mitigate it by having an open-sourcing pledge and/or other organizations that you list as support providers.

This could be done in cooperation with other solo-developers that isn't competitors, list each others companies as support providers and give cursory introductions to them so they could take over or help customers in case of emergencies. This could also give a side-benefit of having a clear option to scale if one of you grow successful so onboarding would be quick. (Also in terms of marketing it'd give the perception of a bigger product if there are support providers there already)

That article is widely derided on the economics side of antitrust. I don’t know anyone who thinks it made a serious persuasive argument. Instead the author started with “Amazon bad” and worked backward to a set of implausible premises attempting to justify that conclusion (and failing, in my view). I voted happily for Biden but Lina Khan is an appointment he never should have made. Indeed, she is reported to have bad relationships with most of the professional staff inside the FTC, probably because she does not take their actual expertise seriously.
I agree that Jira is too complex, which makes it slow. It's also way too customisable at the project level, so moving to scaled agile is hard because of it. Honestly, it's easier to start again if you want to be successful with SAFe.

If Atlassian wants to be profitable, they need to replace their founding CEO's. Mike and Scott have done well to grow the business, but the required skillset is different from this point on. Mike in particular seems to be very distracted these days.
It's a matter of risk. No sane company would go for a single point of failure (if they knew about it).

They are based in Germany. They would need to be sued in Germany. Germany has legal insurance where you can get insurance and it will cover your legal bills and liabilites. On top of that Germany has legal restrictions on how much a case can cost. Slack/Saleforce would not have much benefit in a legal challenge due to their size and legal costs. Furthermore, Slack would have to have a legal case. Which they most likely won't have.
> I like to call Confluence a knowledge cemetery [...]

Spot on from my experience using it in big orgs.

The issue IMHO is that organization of knowledge is not following any system and/or no system that could be followed was ever set in place by the organization when they bought into Confluence.

It's kinda like ordering an Airbus because they're a reliable plane. Then you sell tickets and everyone is board of course because ... Airbus. But you never hire a pilot.

Personally I much prefer GitLab with Issues + Kanban, it's super fast, lightweight but has enough features and it gets out of your way.
I'd question how much this plays into pill design; I suspect it's mostly branding. Back in the day I used to take the antidepressant venlafaxine (Effexor in the US). The pharmacy would give me whichever manufacturer's version they had on the day; the pills all looked completely different.

EDIT: Further evidence. Here (Ireland), advertising of pharmaceuticals is generally illegal, but certain over the counter pharmaceuticals can be advertised. And those ones _do_ usually have very consistent pill design; ~all paracetamol pills look basically the same as each other, despite having tens of manufacturers, as do all ibuprofen pills.

Personally, I do but I believe a solo entrepreneur will have to work harder. Check out https://sindresorhus.com for instance. He makes simple and beautiful apps.
I made two simplifications in my thinking. First, I assume that the number of Clojure jobs is constant over the average job retention period. Second, I assume that each job change is advertised exactly once, or the OP evaluation ignores redundant advertisements for the same job. If the latter assumption were not true, the number of actual jobs would be smaller by the redundancy factor. There are studies on the job retention period (e.g. https://hackerlife.co/blog/san-francisco-large-corporation-e...) from which I just took the longest one for a conservative estimate.

The number of responses to the Clojure survey is barely representative for the size of the job market; otherwise you would have to expect millions of respondents for e.g. the JavaScript survey; people responding to such surveys are likely fans of the technology, not necessarily professionals who were hired to use the technology; of course there are also professionals among the respondents, but we don't know the exact proportion.
While Trello is simpler and snappier (not snappy, but snappier) than anything Atlassian has to offer, it is quite limiting as well for task organization.

One problem is, that not everyone is willing to educate themselves and people expect to be able to use things immediately. This causes the push to dumb down things into a limiting experience. If I were surrounded by only technical people, then a plaintext file like an org-mode file with predefined todo-labels, commited to a git repo would beat all of the Jiras, Trellos or whatever out there and it would cost not a cent and be safer to work with, as everything is stored in git.
As an Interviewer:

I think it's helpful, in order for me to understand the person I'm interviewing, to pair program on a problem together. I don't think it makes sense for them to LeetCode an algorithm in front of me; I think it makes sense for us to build a working API or an Async Worker. I need to know that you _know_ these things or at least know that _you can figure these things out_ and know how to _ask questions when you are stuck_.

As an Interviewee:

I won't do take-homes. I barely like having to do 1hr long interviews, there's no way I'm going to take 1hr+ of my time _outside of work and interviewing_ to do your toy problem _and then talk to you about it_. I would love to hang out, sling code together, and spend time nerding out for 1hr with people as an interview. In fact, I know that if the interview is a "let's code together" one that I'm pretty likely to get the job so I look forward to those types of interviews.
Your bank also wants to know what type of web sites you visit, how you are tagged, so they know how much of a credit risk you are.

Maybe you have an 18% greater risk of default, if you visit sites about poker?

Only the big boys have tracking on all sites, so only they can report back everyplace you visit.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you were just doing research for a paper, you now pay higher interest rares.

Banks also are one of the few places where your ID is 100% known upon login. So they are a perfect place to take loads of tracking info, and:

- link it back to your real ID

- your credit report

- your physical address

- your birth date

- things like home ownership

- all bills you pay

- using debit or cc, where you shop

They have an immense business model, where they link online tracking, to meatspace habits.

As well, since your bank often gives you points credit cards, and stores cooperate for fee discounts, often individual purchases are known.
On Android you can block trackers per app with TrackerControl.

Last months were economic roller coaster, I figured out that this topic is something I (and most people) need to learn more about.

Many of the market movements this year where predictable, and people who "knows" are able to avoid the impact (or even profit).

Examples:

- COVID => Rise in medicine stocks and Dip in tourism stocks

- Rise of remote work => Dip in rent in SF / Vancouver etc..

- less COVID restrictions => more demand on Oil

- Higher Oil price => higher cost for international shipping => higher price of imported goods

- Chip shortage => higher price of cars and devices (even if used)

- Kremlin invades Ukraine => Dip in Crypto/Stocks and Rise in Gold/Silver

- No WWIII => Dip in Gold/Silver and Rise in Crypto/Stocks

- Economic Sanctions on Russian Oil => Rise in energy prices in Sanctioning countries vs Dip in non-Sanctioning countries

- High inflation data released => expectations of interest rate rise => Dip in Gold/Silver/Crypto/Stocks/currencies not backed by USD

- Higher interest rate => Less demand on mortgages => Slower growth for real estate market

I'm not happy that I only know about these AFTER they happen..
What to do/study/follow to be aware of such market movements before the impact actually propagate, so I can prepare?

Thanks in advance

I think that's the key point there. They have a history of making some amazing games, and still continue to do so to some extent. But their business practices in recent years have been, quite simply, abysmal. Stuff like not doing refunds at all (unless they're forced to by law), and also them guarding their intellectual property like their lives depend on it even when this is detrimental to their own business model (remember when they took a cut out of YouTubers making videos of their games leading to many just not bothering, and Nintendo losing out on publicity?)

I'm not much of a gamer anymore but I still enjoy playing them from time to time. I just feel like the gaming industry has being getting worse, and worse. Games are so monetized now that some are now borderline (or ought to be considered) gambling. At least there is still some amazing creativity coming from independent development studios.

For me missing libraries never stopped me, I could always port/wrap whatever I needed. However with the advent of AI assisted coding, working on libraries is even faster and at some point I hope I wouldn't spend much time rolling decent libraries that are ports of existing github projects.

> I cannot fathom being the person at Amazon who makes that call. Do they sleep well at night? Do they feel good about themselves?

People in positions being able to make country wide or above decisions at entities like Amazon generally do not care about human life at all. They first and foremost care about being financially successful (and maybe having power) themselves, secondly about their company being financially successful and thirdly their companies public image.

Do you really think there is someone ready to say: "Dear Mr. Bezos, we are no longer allowed to sell in UAE because we didn't bow to their anti LGBTQ laws. Too bad." ?
