"$10m-$15m post" actually refers to the valuation of the company rather than the investment amount. The investment amount is typically 10-20%. So a valuation of $10-15m would mean an investment of $1-1.5m
Correct. The title was editorilized. And not enough with that, it's not even true that the guide has been updated, not for years according to the author himself in the currently top-voted comment.

So in a way this ended up to be perfect clickbait. But nobody seems to complain because despite not having been updated the guide seems to recall many fond memories by the commenters.

Highlighting users does not work on HN, I think the recommendation is to send an email.
Aggravated assault seems appropriate.

The layman's understanding of assault is probably closer to battery.

Assault is threatening violence, aggravated can be when done in conjunction with a weapon.

Not a lawyer. Some states define these terms differently.
I say this as someone who isn’t very familiar with this world, but have also noticed this. I think it’s a perception hack: there are some expectations about how a series A startup operates (demonstrated product/market fit, starts entering the growth stage, etc), and investors/founders still want to invest in companies that show great potential according to them, but just aren’t there yet, and it’s undesirable to oversell the company / raise expectations too high.

Hence the massive seed rounds,
with equally massive bridge rounds, etc etc.
This would be really great. Less prep could also lead to more opening mistakes and decisive games.

While the conclusions make sense, it's weird that we have gotten to a point of meta-analysis of existing "systematic and meta analyses". How much further removed from the data can we go without the "error" accumulating and making any such meta analysis useless?

I'd also probably order the 10G for that price if it was just a checkbox in the order process. But opening a ticket later (and downtime for the server), or waiting substantially longer for the server to be available isn't really an option for me. I'm wondering if they deliberately do that because their switches couldn't handle too many 10G servers?

The EU regulations are often quickly adopted in other market places in similar fashions. Leaving the EU might be a calculation worth, but leaving the rest of the world is often prohibitive.

Do not forget here: These are countries which existed hundred of years before FAANG and will exist hundreds of years after FAANG. They have to protect themselves as a society but also as a constitutional body. If you let the monopolies go their way, their own constitutional existence is in doubt (example: these companies have already gigantic control on aspects which are governed by law hate speech, nudity, etc or are normative in the society). Long rambling, short reply: Other countries will quickly adopt these laws to keep long-term relevant.

Declarative and Imperative knowledge are best summed up in a cartoon
strip in Viz comic.

Tom: "Hey Bob, I've just invented a new pill that cures cancer and turns
water into petrol"

Bob: Amazing work Tom. How does it work?

Tom: I've no idea. I only just invented it!

Declarative thinking is about what something is. Imperative knowledge
is about how to do it.

A rocket ship is a way to get to space. (Declarative)

We can escape the gravity of Earth in a self-contained vehicle
burning a fuel and oxygen mixture in a combustion chamber such that
it develops an exhaust thrust that exceeds the weight of the vehicle
and sufficient total energy to reach escape velocity. (Imperative)

[Of course we could make the latter *more* imperative by giving
finer details and equations.]

In programming a great distinction is given in SICP by Hal Abelson's
description of Lisp programming as conjuring "magic spells". We start
with wishful-thinking (declarative requirements spec) about what we
want a function to do. Then we flesh it out with increasingly
imperative knowledge until we are forced to face highly specific
computational primitives.

Both kinds are needed. There is a danger from an imbalance of these
knowledge types.

A serious problem of our age is "unrequited declarative thinking"
where there's an excess of abstraction. The degenerate software patent
system, which allows vague "business model" claims, exemplifies this
problem. We've become too used to technology working like magic and
experiencing surface effects rather than understanding mechanisms that
we forget someone, or something, somewhere has to actually do the
work.

This is what Arthur C Clarke warned about, although typically, most
people took his "indistinguishable from magic" statement as a positive
endorsement of ignorance (ie. intuitive "just works" stuff that
"doesn't make me think").

On the other hand we can have an excess of imperative
thinking. Technocrats engage in over-systematisation and rigid
mechanical ideation of the world because they forget Einstein's most
important equation "Imagination is more important than knowledge".

The Wikipedia article for the S–N Water Transfer Project states that nearly a third of a million people were forced out of their homes, environmental devastation is resulting, and that it could end up with large evaporation issues. Living in the US Southwest myself, any program to reshape the hydrology of a large region does seems myopic and arrogant, as the problems start to really show after decades of use. The destruction of the Aral Sea is another example. Just because it can be built does not make it a success.

The problem is that the world champion is out of play for 6 months out of every two years, preparing for just one game.

It's boring for him as well as the fans to spend that much time in isolation just trying to memorize everything about one particular opponent.

It would be better to have him out and about playing tournaments and beating lots of different opponents.

> That’s why we have protective measures like soft deleting and event sourcing

IMO soft deletion is a hack trying to fix problems in CRUD, which is a hack in itself.

CRUD attempts to model everything in the universe as a collections of mutable items, loosely based on RDBMS/SQL.

Event Sourcing is more realistic: it models everything as a append-only logs of immutable events/facts, which preserves both the historical data and, more importantly, the original intent.

Unlike CRUD, Event Sourcing is technology agnostic.
It's often easier to think about the reverse situation -- imagine there's an error at the bank and the property owner's mortgage goes poof and his cost of operating the rental is cut in half -- do you think he'd lower the rent for his tenants? Of course not.

It's not a perfect market, rents are sticky, landlords don't profit maximize all of the time (e.g. they might keep the rent the same for several years for good tenants), but in general landlords will charge the highest amount they can charge at all times regardless of what their cost basis looks like.
Sure, if you’re replacing functionality/processes then you’re right.

I was thinking of adding/integrating new processes. That’s imho the harder task because you usually have less data to work with.

The same fundamental products have been reinvented with every improvement in bandwidth since the beginning of the internet. Once you've seen these cycles happen over and over you just watch for the underlying tech improvements, pick an idea lane and re-execute. Keep an eye on 5G and Starlink, it's already happening.

You could exchange "fair" for "reasonable" (as in "buying at a fair value"). I think OP's point is not on justice, but more on how acceptable of a trade-off it is.

Either way I think Gitlab will be paying different taxes and other fees depending on where the employee is registered, so IMO it kinda comes down to the message they want to send to their employees.

> Teams is not particularly buggy, it's not crash prone, it seems like it's missing some functionality, and other functionality seems like an afterthought.

My current bugbear with Teams is it cannot open Office files in the native Office applications, which I have installed, by default. Sure, you can manually select "Open in..." each time and pick "Desktop application". But when you do "Change default", there are only two options: "Always open Word, PowerPoint and Excel files in (A) Teams, (B) Browser (default)". There's no option "(C) Desktop application"!

Come on guys, how hard can this be? What PM decided that option (C) should be left out? I mean, it's not as if the native Word, Excel and PowerPoint applications haven't been industry standards - and the basis for MS's success - for 30 years...
I always enjoy reading these kinds of write ups digging into why something is as fast as it is and how it interacts with a wider system. However, I do think that one should not arrive at the belief that this kind of optimisation is warranted everywhere and that code simplicity can also be a goal. The classic argument is to compare OpenBSD’s yes [1] to GNU coreutils’ yes [2] and contemplate on under which circumstances those additional MB/s of “y” will be critical enough to warrant the maintenance of more than one hundred additional lines.

[1]: https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/usr.bin/yes/yes.c?rev=1.9&con...

[2]: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/src/yes...

Similarly, there is the NSFW comparison between Plan 9’s cat and GNU coreutils’ cat [3].

[3]: http://9front.org/img/longcat.png

Just to reiterate in the end though. This is not an argument against optimisation and learning how to make something blazingly fast. But, there is such a thing as optimising the wrong thing and using speed as the only justification for merging a patch is probably not the right thing to do for a bigger project.
I think Kafka is primarily for streaming data in the first place. I use colloquial definitions, but streams are not events from my point of view. So something like activeMQ or rabbitMQ seems to be more fitting for event sourcing. Don't know the tools the author did suggest.

But I think the most important differentiation is whether you have streams or messages.

That said, the ability to roll back to a previous "state" of an event queue is pretty nice in Kafka. But if you don't want to scale ad infinitum a more common message broker might be more fitting for consuming events. I only used Kafka in an experiment, I have no in depth knowledge.

Right. You can't guarantee clocks in a distributed system are synchronised, unless you control all the nodes. Lamport clocks don't use time, they work on causal order. This came after that, not this happened at a particular time.
Gotta love how you responded to contemporary risk of violence in America with link to ... great purge in Russia in 1938. And a link that does not shows left wing as more violent then right wing.

Also, I said majority and I stand by that. The terrorism in USA is more likely to go from right wing then from anything else (including muslims). It is right wing media and politicians who promote violence. It is right who is actively talking about violent usurpation of power and builds militias. It is right wing who engineered 6.1. and repeatedly tried to blame left and "antifa" for it. It is right wing who is trying to get control over education by harassing and threatening (actual physical threats) opposition.

There is also no symmetry in who gets promoted and wins elections on either side. The more aggressive and radical side on right wing is having control over the party. As much as they try to make it look like there is symmetry with Democratic leadership, there is none. If anything, democratic leadership is incapable to stand up to them and constantly looking for non-existent bipartisanship. America does not have actual communist party or activism going on to speak of. Communists are not getting votes. It does have fascist politicians getting more and more votes within GOP. And it does have right wing trying to frame any social system they dont like or public education as "communist" to make it look like there is symmetry.

"as little as they can afford" is still completely subjective, as they will pay more for an employee that is better valued on the market for any specific reason, regardless of the actual results once they join Gitlab.

If tomorrow they declared they "need" to pay their employees 2x more to hire "A players" and get an edge on their competitors, we probably would have to take their word for it.

I’ve often heard the modern VC route described as a Ponzi scheme with the public market being the greatest of the fools, I don’t totally buy into the idea but your 3rd point really does highlight how close it all is to a Ponzi scheme.

No it doesn't. Except for cancel culture (which isn't state run btw), you can say and think almost whatever you like in the USA so long as it isn't prejudiced or harassing. You are also not punished for starting other parties in the USA, since it's completely legal. Thus there are alternatives to the Democrats and Republicans. The First Past the Post system just means that that it's extremely unlikely that alternatives will ever challenge the biggest two. Other than that the American system is decidedly liberal and free.
You get paid a fixed salary, that fact alone means it has nothing to do with the income you bring into the company, it's perfectly fine and is the norm. It's always about what number would make you happy, not what is fair, nor that "being fair" is well defined.
I'm only 47 years old. I've lost count of the number of things that improved exponentially during my life time. More has happened in the last half century than in all of humanity before that in terms of scientific progress.

Perhaps a different way to look at things is that while people are causing no end of trouble for each other, the planet they live on, etc. they also have a knack for just continually figuring out how to do things better and differently. People don't get exponentials so they get caught by surprise by them even when they shouldn't.

People can be fatalistic when faced with big problems. But when faced with smaller problems, they just start solving them. And lots of big problems can be broken down into lots of small problems. A big problem may seem insurmountable. A small problem is just work that needs to be done. Lots of people working on lots of small problems, means a lot of those problems simply get solved and melt away.

I don't have all the answers when it comes to world peace, clean energy, hunger, child mortality, sea level rises, etc. These are really big challenges. But I'm an engineer and solve problems for a living. A can-do attitude goes a long way to just getting stuff done.

A wise lesson that I picked up in some communication training is to try to steer workplace discussions towards being constructive rather than being dismissive, argumentative, and negative. By simply talking about challenges rather than problems you can rephrase things such that people start thinking about how they can make things better rather than how hopelessly bad they are. They get excited instead of angry. Using a "yes and .." instead of a "yes, but .." is a very subtle way to say the same thing in a way that is constructive.

In a workplace, prolonging a bad thing serves no purpose so getting people to talk about how to improve a thing is more productive than having them provide endless reasons why a thing cannot, should not, or must not be done. Get people to think about how they can do it better rather than talking each other out of doing constructive things. I can't fix everyone around me but I can fix how I voice my own criticism. That little lesson has served me well over the years.

As a startup CTO I have to be constantly mindful about the epic amount of shit I cannot possibly deal with while still making sure things get better month to month. For any twenty problems, pick two to solve right now. Ignore the rest. I can't afford apathy or fatalism. Neither is constructive. But I can park one thing and focus on a feasible thing. Once I solve that, we can see about the other thing.

My attitude to all the big problems in this world is the same. Yes they are big but there is progress and plenty of opportunities for more progress. Don't tell me how royally screwed we all are, tell me how things could be better and I might be able to do my little part to get us there.
Having used copilot for over a year now, it isn't there to replace programmers. It isn't called GitHub Pilot, and it doesn't do well with generating original ideas. Sure, if your job is to create sign up forms in HTML then sure, it'll do your job in a second, but if you're creating more complex systems, copilot is just there to help save you time when writing code (which is just implementing ideas).

Think of it like a set of powertools saving you time over manual tools.
Many developing markets don't necessarily have devices that are much older or lower spec. Look at Malaysia, Singapore, India, China, Taiwan etc. Many people upwards of middle class in these places have good access to reasonable devices.

Rather, they have different user behaviours and different needs. Success in these markets is about responding to customer needs locally, and not presuming that conventions, ideas, and designs that make sense in rich western countries make sense in those markets.

I've seen some good arguments that GUI layouts should be completely reexamined in developing markets, because the realities of differing languages (top to bottom, or right to left reading), or differing conventions in the presentation of information (extremely dense, or extremely sparse relative to what we are used to) mean that many app GUI's are completely counter intuitive and difficult to use in these markets.

Uber for example failed to succeed in India and Singapore because they couldn't adapt to the local markets need to pay in cash. Even though credit cards are available, many customers prefer to use cash. It was such a strong preference that they would rather not use Uber than pay for their taxis with credit cards.
