I guess there are at least two types of communication going on on all those slack channels:
1. communication that is relevant for your current task
2. communication that is not relevant for your current task, and which might or might not be relevant to you at all.

You could try to limit your exposure to the second kind of communication to certain fixed time slots, e.g. 20min when starting work and 20min before taking off. If it’s not possible to limit exposure within your account by setting up favourite channels and muting others (not a slack user here), you could ask IT for a second slack account that participates only in the first type of communication.

Setting up completely slack-free intervals could be another way to increase focus on the relevant tasks. Start small - it’s crazy what you can achieve in 30min of uninterrupted work and you’d be surprised: probably will no one notice that it now takes you 15min on average to answer instead of 5min.

> Spin "the other bets" out as a separate company.

Aha, glad somebody is seeing the same thing I'm seeing.

The problem with Google is that it is too large, and too successful. Their idea of having experimental projects is a good one, the problem is that Google makes so much money that they don't commit to them. They become too dilettante about them.

The fix is to do spin-offs, say keeping a minority stake at less than 20%. This generates capital for Google, gives them a share of the upside, but they don't have too much influence on the spin-off. So it's Death or Glory for the spin-off. They are forced to make whatever it is they invented work, or face extinction. There is a smaller management team, focussed on success.

This strikes me as a much better proposition than what we see at the moment, with Google just dabbling around pouring money into something they'll eventually get bored with.

You'd think that what with all the big brains at Google, someone would have thought of this. Maybe someone at Goldmans should make a pitch.
> If you work for a certain company and you recommend it, you should disclose that you work for said company.

>> I see no good reason to accept that proposition.

You should absolutely disclose that you work for Hasura when talking about Hasura. Like the other commenter mentioned, this is basic decency on this medium. Failure to do so will reflect very poorly on you and your employer here.
True, "Alabama" is even the name of a boomer submarine.

But both it, and all the nuke-capable bases (MXF, RSA, etc.) are federal, not state, which has been an important distinction in the past (especially in 1963).

That would be utterly wrong.
Right, investigate them for committing a crime. That’s the FBI’s job. If they see voter suppression on Twitter they can get a warrant forcing Twitter to turn over the account identity (and prosecute them) and take down the tweet.

But that’s not what’s happening here is it? The FBI is asking Twitter to take down tweets (some of them obvious jokes) without a warrant or evidence of any crime being committed.

That’s what’s happening.

No different than your local cops coming to the bar you like and asking for you to be kicked out.

Would that be ok?

1. I would go with Vue. Because Vue is focused towards DX and pragmatism. It provides good defaults to start with and flexibility to go through less travelled paths should you need it.

Part of the reason is that when I first tried react (in 2016), I couldn't get it to build. And setting up build tools was not easy.

Vue can be used with a single script tag, so I was able to get it up and running without any issue.

I started with Vue 1, and recently worked on a project using Vue 3. Despite my gap and version changes, I was able to get up and running without issues.

2. Vue docs are great resources. Personally I prefer video courses to get started and then docs and guides. I can personally vouch for Laracasts Vue tutorials.
We can all see what happened in Ukraine. The country is well on the way to being a smoking crater, they barely have a power grid, they've lost 10% of their land and something like 20% of their population have become refugees. We have yet to see the ramifications of pouring weapons into the 2nd most corrupt country in Europe but it is unlikely to be pretty either. Their economy is probably an ex-economy. If things go really wrong it is plausible that they will get nuked.

Compare that Hong Kong, where life sucks but, end of the day, it isn't a war zone. Not as civilised as it once was, but still a respectable city.

At the end of the day, there are some very difficult decisions to be made by Taiwan. Integration into China is an option that they will at least have to consider. It is a terrible option. It may be the best option they have. In their shoes, I'd be wargaming ditching the US and negotiating some sort of protectorate deal with China. Probably thinking very hard about trying to be grandfathered in as some sort of neutral Switzerland. War is still just as horrific as it ever was and being at war with the world's most industrial superpower is a very bad plan A.
This is a different argument.

Did you see other comments in this thread, for example someone bought a drive online and turned out it still had some backblaze data?

Compliance often has a bunch of useless checkboxing, but in that case it really mattered.

I heard a rumor that some companies had their backups "in the other tower". People won't be making that mistake again.

In some places they have a policy against two key people being on the same plane. It's ridiculous, until it isn't.

Obviously there are priorities. But you can't say "I need to add features, not unit tests, because the company will go under without these features implemented very soon, and therefore unit tests are close to useless".

This is a very cool project especially that it seems to be the only low latency "consumer grade" camera available. 4 lines of latency are quoted, this is great considering other alternatives (rpi cam, other sbcs + csi camera) have latencies from 50ms up to 150ms which makes them borderline unusable for many uses such as dynamic fpv, fast acting machine vision etc.

I have ADHD and this is what I would recommend. Dual screen is okay if you implement the rest as long as the task occupies both screens (e.g code in one and tests, type checking or a live demo on the other).

I’d go further and suggest turning off _all_ sounds and vibrations your phone period, including for calls.

If that’s a bit extreme, do it for work hours, but turning them off completely is life changing. With them on, it’s too easy for your phone to dominate your attention.

Your phone needs to be something you give attention to on your own terms, as a tool that you control.

You might wonder about urgent alerts, like waiting for an important call or on call notifications. Your habits simply change to give the appropriate amount of attention, like a quick glance every now and then at an interval of your choosing. And, more often than not, an urgent call can be called back.
Orwellian does not just mean changing terms or using euphemisms. It is about terms that make the expression of undesirable thoughts actually impossible. Do any of the scare-quoted terms do this? I can't see any.
> Xi at running an economy, no one can

Good thing he doesn't micromanage the economy then. PRC private sector responsible for 60% of gdp, 70% of innovation, 80% of urban employment and 90% of new jobs. CCP+SEOs does some direction, but most of PRC run on market forces, while (IMO) top down / centralized priorities are more competently directed than inept, seeing as PRC is rapidly closing gap in myriad of industries, so much so that others are centralizing and restarting industrial policies in response to PRC moving up value chain. At least US sees enough PRC potential to rationalize massive unilateral tech sanctions because centralization was winning. See similar response when US had to slap JP semi when their centralized approach worked too well. Reality is, for strategic sectors with high moats, centralization always wins because you can't rely on private sector and capitalism to maintain market lead when the board would rather do stock buy backs. And sometimes centralization requires solid dose of corruption and political connection to align resources with strategic goals that private sector is not capable of tackling.
It's global liberalism, selling natural monopolies to private entities and letting monopolies/oligopolies squeeze the market and use their position to capture other market.

I believe that the "investor class speculating" will either:

1) pass the (excessive) costs on to the property sales price

or:

2) not speculate (and not build the house)

The OP has chosen one of the possible ways to have a home to live, you either buy an existing one or buy a plot of land and build a new one on it.

Are there other ways that you can suggest?

In my very first job experience, at the end of '00, we had a couple of SCO Unix systems that needed to remain active to keep developing software for legacy customers. They were running on Olivetti M24 back from the 80s; it was a nightmare to find spare parts on Ebay when something broke.
There was also a couple of x86 workstations running OS2 Warp for other customers. The colleagues told me that the SCO Unix are still there and OS2 workstations were virtualized 3 years ago.
ADHD-pro-advice: Use your OS settings to suppress red „unread“-badges! Don‘t let them shove the pile of distraction into your face at all times. Instead, create reminders to actively _pull_ communication. Adjust the number of those reminders and the time blocked after each so that you can cope with the amount of communication coming in - but do that on your terms and schedule, not on theirs.

In technical terms: you’re not the PubSub-server, you’re a client polling for messages when your resources allow for it.
On the other hand your organization could be built to be more async or if you do require input from people who can’t respond immediately, there is probably other stuff that can be worked on.

80% of my team is located in India while I’m in the US so none of our working hours overlap (meetings are scheduled early US time / late India time). Stuff can still get done without same-day responses.

I was going to ask: Why the ... does anyone have 1000+ Slack channels? What's the point of so many channels?

We have maybe 20 IRC channels, and that to much as well. Many join all of them anyway, two of them are basically the same thing, bot hang around in random channels with no clear distinction as to why it's in one and not another. I cannot imagine the corporate structure that would trigger the creation of 1000 Slack channels, honestly Slack might just be a symptom.

On a side note: I still don't get Slack, it's like one of those Chinese: Do everything apps, the interface is cluttered and not particularly intuitive to use. It really makes you long for the days of HipChat.

This is actually an interesting article, one of few that with credibility paints recent global history with a broad brush, as a pendulum swinging between laissez faire economic policies and a more restrictive, protectionist state. The former characterized by massive accumulation of private wealth and economic inequalities and the latter by rise of nationalism, protectionism and state power. The article implies that these policy changes are not tendencies that play out in isolation within countries, but are global long waves of history, and even offers some explanations as to why the globe might transition from one to the other.

The reasons offered might not be fully satisfactory, but I find this to be a better perspective than the explanations that try to pin the cause of such massive changes in policy on individual people and their personalities, be they Jiang Zemin, Margaret Thatcher, Donald Trump etc. Until we figure out how to stabilize these fluctuations then they, and we, and Jack Ma too, are just riding these long waves, trying to navigate the opportunities and/or disadvantages that each phase offers.
> OCaml isn't indentation sensitive, so doesn't suffer from this

True, I was just making the point that the lightweight syntax of indentation-sensitive languages like Python can be problematic. I don't know how OCaml is able to achieve this style of syntax without the use of significant indentation, but it is impressive.

Same question, why the US has to spend 800 billion $ a year? worried about an invasion by Mexico?

That military budget got criticized by many Chinese. With a comparable GDP to the US, the CCP constantly refuses to further increase its military spending. As a result of such policy failure, its defense budget is just about 20% of the US one.

> I'm regularly amazed at how many people there are on HN that tell on themselves by complaining about ads in Windows.

Maybe it's just me, but it gives me the feeling that the OS is actively working against me. I'm still having some configuration to do on Linux (hybrid graphics are fun and so is audio for my setup), but it's something caused by having so many options and limited time of contributors. On Windows, this is because the OS is trying to extract as much money as possible from me and that kind of adversarial relationship is not what I want to have with software that manages all of my data.

Carmack is many thing, engineering genius above them. However, he would frequently wade into areas where he had no experience, demand others do what he said, ignore evidence he was wrong, bully people, and disparage entire teams who were doing good, and in some cases legally required, work. When data proved his idea was wrong, he would say words to the effect of "I don't care, because I still believe I'm right from an ideological background". He would devalue people, there expertise, there experience, and there thoughts because "I'm John Carmack". Truthfully, I have never worked with someone before who was somehow so politely toxic to a workplace.

Carmacks work in VR was absolutely invaluable from a technical standpoint, but VR now is as successful as it is in spite of his influence, not because of it. When I hear people say "If only Meta would let Carmack do what he wants we'd see his ideal VR experience and it would be amazing". You already saw it. It was Oculus Go, and by every metric is was a commercial, financial, and technical, disaster.
Google far outperforms everyone else in AI.

Search is already heavily ML-powered. Right now it’s impossible to provide ad-sponsored fully-AI-powered search and make it profitable. Remember, you are actually not paying for it at the cost, and users that actually click ads are subsidizing you.

But when it will be possible, Google is going to be in perfect position to capitalize on it.
I lumped 95 in too! Though I should have used my handy en-dash and consistent formatting of the 3.x–9x (i.e. not NT, not ME, more than a word processor).

I agree 95 was a huge step relatively, but agree it was ~on par with my preferred Mac contemporary. Granted it does deserve mention for licensing music by Brian Eno… and a button licensed by another famous musician.
No, because the userspace is based on Java and the NDK uses Android specific APIs, only ISO C and ISO C++ standard libraries are officially supported, anything POSIX related is not part of NDK official APIs.

In rooted devices everything goes, on random Android device you application might get killed for trying to access private APIs, meaning anything that isn't documented as official NDK API.
Hey there! Founder here, thanks for the feedback.

You're right, the whole thing as it is right now is something light hearted. I spent no more than 2-3 hours of development on this before launching and didn't expect it going so viral at all. In order to make it more reliable than it is right now I think of implementing upvote/downvote buttons and a comment system.

I'm open to ideas if you think of any other ways to improve it!
