The reason they went remote was to save money on real estate. They could sell buildings and get rid of leases.

The specific reasons they no longer want to go remote has not been shared with us other than the usual 'we want more teamwork'.

It's a shame. I tried to apply to other internal jobs, but they won't allow me to work remotely because of the new policy. So now they've severely limited their candidate pool and may have to look outside the bank and incur the costs that brings.
Because while you might be a good guy and hard worker. For every one of you there are 10 Joe Schmoes who roll out of bed at noon, eat a bowl of cereal while watching SportsCenter before taking a nap, do an hour of work then call it a day when working remotely.

I find its much easier to transition to remote than it is to get hired remote. Prove you get shit done in the office, then start to transition to remote, one or two days a week at first, until you are in the office once a month for that big client meeting.

> Not at all, the author praises Backbone

Backbone is as lightweight as a framework can get - to the point where one might call it a library. It's common for people who are anti-framework to embrace smaller frameworks like React and Backbone.

> The learning curve, busted syntax, and performance issues unfortunately ARE specific to Angular, that's the entire point of the article.

But they're really not. Ember has the same learning curve and performance issues that Angular has, and "busted syntax" is completely subjective.
The server doesn't need to use a JVM. You can use whatever language you want and expose it via a REST API with some JSON. Typically folks go to JVM when scalability is a problem.

To put this in context, over the four years from 2008-2012, police officers in England and Wales opened fire on 18 separate occasions, killing nine people.

In a country of 55 million people, that's about 5 shooting incidents, and 2 people killed each year.

I got my start as a professional programmer at an IBM shop on an System 38 --> AS/400 writing RPG apps with 5250 terminals. When HTTP/HTML started taking off in 1993 because of Mosaic I felt right at home.

RPG ran on the AS/400 and your DSPF (display file) ran on the terminal. DSPFs did screen layout, validation, etc...
Firefox Hello (video chat from within Firefox)
I've developed a few shopify stores and found the workflow to be similar to working with Dreamweaver and FTP, but worse. There is no way to have a local copy, which means you are constantly either editing files directly in their web editor, or uploading your modified local copies to the server, waiting a few seconds, then refreshing the browser manually to see the results.

But the real nightmare only begins after you launch the shop. There's absolutely no way to test anything before putting it live. Want to add a feature, or fix a bug? Edit the code blindly, upload it and cross your fingers that it doesn't break everything.

I admire the developers who managed to develop these sites and maintain their sanity intact.

Interesting. Perhaps this BASIC reached as far as the C=64, 128 and Plus-4 too?

BTW AmigaBASIC must have been a very interesting affair too. I think Commodore's agreement with Microsoft was somehow broken after release; it was never updated, it was never really integrated into the system - Intuition, the co-processors, the famous HAM mode, etc. So it left everyone unsatisfied. And it was slow and bloated. There was a compiler for it, the AC-Basic, which I successfully used for a short while, until AmigaBASIC was literally eclipsed by AMOS.
OP (or other Etsy-ers) - is Etsy remote friendly as a rule? They've always been around the top of my employment-crush list but I'm pretty committed to staying remote after over four years working that way (and NYC is a visit-not-live location for me!). I thought when I'd looked in the past Etsy wasn't obviously remote friendly.
i love going to the office. i really do. it gets me out of the house, it gives my day structure, it clearly separates work and play.

but i do like that more and more companies allow working remotely. I'm from a smallish city in Germany with not many jobs available. Having the opportunity to find interesting work in the US without moving there is awesome. Last month alone, I collected 700 job listings from various job boards for my remote work newsletter.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to be disagreeable, just pointing out that this is a very active area of research still, and there is always room for improvement. I work mostly with segmentation and shape analysis instead of registration, but I am involved with a project on multi-modal image fusion, which is even harder (and more interesting).
So, next time you feel ill, I trust that, instead of going to a doctor, who went to med school 40 years ago and (in your world-view apparently) is only prescribing medications pushed on him by his pharmaceutical rep and only suggesting procedures that will make him money, you'll take care of your condition by reading up on it on webmd and leaving it at that.
>How do you distinguish this from threatening those who might choose to employ black Americans in order to make a buck?

Quite easily. Nobody needs a visa to employ black Americans.

I'm sure black Americans would feel somewhat relieved that they were not forced to compete with Nigerians.

>Because in the case of racial bias, people are shocked and horrified. Yet in the case of national bias, people aren't.

I fail to see why this horrifies you so much. White skin didn't pay for my education. The nation I was born and grew up in did.

It's no use pretending that employers are pro-immigration thanks to their worldliness and desire to help non-Americans, either. Nigel Farage in the UK represents the epitome of national bias yet guess what he did when he wanted to hire somebody for cheap? Yup, that's right. Immigrants.

>I'm attempting to point out that there are few good distinguishing principles between the two cases

Failing I would say.

>I've repeatedly said that "treat badly" means "threaten with violence for engaging in mutually agreeable trade" and "we" means "organizations that purport to act on our behalf" (US Govt, white supremicist groups, etc).

Ok, so I agreed - no violence towards Nigerians who come to the US looking for work. Perhaps a mild deportation, that's all (it's happened to me before due to a visa mixup and it didn't leave any bruises).
Yup. The first person that came to mind for me was Terry Cavanagh. Also a one-man phenomenon.
He specifically mentions performance many times but has no statistics to back this up. I have created a web app with Angular and it runs fine on old Android phones and iPhones. We don't see any performance problems. Of course YMMV but he/she makes it should like the performance is a really big problem that everyone will get affected by which I thinks is wrong, most apps won't have any major performance problems.
Um, actually you do. The principal differences are:

1) You can choose your arbitrage provider independent of your payment channel (whereas with Visa/Mastercard you are locked into the arbitrage facility of the payment channel) -> splitting off a feature into a modular component -> more competition among providers -> better products.

2) The arbitrage provider only holds a m-of-n key to confirm your transaction, so they don't hold your funds, so they cannot steal them (directly, obviously they could collude with the intended recipient of the funds, but that's by and by).

3) You can set arbitrary values for how many m-of-n signatures you want and for checklocktime. So you can customise the arbitrage arrangement to suit the transaction far more than any offering from V/MC.

Finally, let's not forget that if you really are desperate to keep that classic chargeback commerce experience, there is nothing to stop V/MC rebuilding their system on top of BTC and offering the same package. The current "chargeback" system isn't really a "chargeback" anyway, it's more of a "failure to pay funds that your bank provider agreed to display as pending."

Because the web is changing at light speed and the frame work they designed years ago requires more than a bandaid to adapt. It doesn't mean it's not "good", it's just not great. The dev world is very opinionated, if you pick the most popular framework in for any language or environment you'll find a heavy amount of "haters" and rightfully so.;

Angular is the leader, they're rewriting to address some of the haters, and are getting more hate for it.
Nowdays they actually go javascript (Node) on the server for a lot of performance things. It is really fast for some things.
Can you try to remember what those things were? I am working on a project that includes something similar (not nearly as evolved) and would be curious as to what to look out for.

I don't see how that's any different from eval.

That's a hugely important point and in a way it shows that they are comparing apples and oranges. Word is a complete document editing system (well, more or less) while LaTeX is a type setting systems and you need additional tools to use it. Those tools can range from a simple plain-text editor (say, nano) to totally integrated environments that are similar to word in their feature set.

Show HN: Builtwith – Enter a website and see what tools were used to build it
Author here. Just a few technical notes about the site:

This was my first Angular project. I had done Knockout, Durandal, and classic server-rendered web apps before, but this was my first stab with Angular. I liked it, and now use Angular for most of my projects.

I used TypeScript and found the classes to work great with Angular's controllers.

C# and MS SQL on the backend, hosted on Azure.

On the site, youth can subscribe to get emails or text messages when a bed becomes available. For this, we use SendGrid and Twilio.

We're using a custom Bootstrap theme for the UI. This enabled us to easily make the site responsive, which was a major goal since most homeless youth have phones but not desktops.

The project was commissioned by Youth Service Network, a group of youth shelters in Minnesota, with grant money supplied by Microsoft and Target. Microsoft provided free Azure credits to host the site.

SendGrid and Twilio both got involved in the project and offered a large amount of free credits. Kudos to them for that.
GCC and Clang specific, as said in the readme page.

I know, apply.h is ugly, but I did not want to lose too much time on that (and it was easy to dump these lines from a shell command), as it is only used for an optional macro.
When the recursion limit is hit, every parameter after that is ignored, and I doubt someone will ever use a struct with 64 members needing destruction, considering of course they would use this, and use the completely optional "DESTRUCTOR" macro helper.

But yes, I get it, I'll probably find the time to implement some kind of recursion based off OBSTRUCT/DEFER that we often see on stackoverflow.
Being created by a nutritional advisor and a professor of medicine is legitimately credible.

I just want to add that this:

> is approved as a food by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Is utterly meaningless. All that means is that everything that goes into the product is "food grade" and that it was prepared in basically sanitary conditions. Nothing more. I highly doubt the FDA has examined their health claims (namely that you could live exclusively off of it). And likely won't unless there is public or political pressure to do so.

As an aside, I wonder if they could get a military or relief effort contract? Seems like the type of product perfect for both, as you "just add water!"
I've been lucky enough to do an internship in banking, where Cobol is (and I guess will be for the foreseable future) the core language.

I didn't have to write lots of Cobol, but it's been very educational: both its very rigorous syntax (and number handling as you said!) and the fact that the code I was modifying had been written even before I was born.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Cobol in itself is not a bad language at all! Mainframes are obviously rock solid and for development purposes, open source implementations of MVS exist (and were already useful 15 years ago, such as Hercules[1])

That sounds nice on paper. But would it not be a security nightmare and result in browser fragmentation?

I rather tell my customers to embrace HTML and a concept where a URI has a main concern and if I want to see that concern, I have to load the page. I like to build web applications that work without Javascript, but enhance the page for better user experience, when activated. (Like the old (sane) times.)

It would be so nice, if I can just mail a link or make a bookmark and when I follow that link, I don't get a firework from a client-side application that tries to magically restore state.

BTW. I have JS deactivated by default and I am not the only one (security measures, privacy, insane amounts of JS loaded by e.g. news pages). I tend to be annoyed, if the page does not work without JS.
I think that there is more fundamental cause for this correlation. See reference https://mjambon.github.io/vim-vs-emacs/

I was a beta tester as well. All the reasons you listed apply. Even before they opened for the masses I have moved all my domains in. Some extra reasons:

- Simple integration if you are on Google apps (I am grandfathered, using their, old, standard, free Gapps.

- Customer support was superb and instant, via chat, and it was great. The person knew what he was doing.

Definitely a keeper.
AFAIK it's bolted to the station, isn't it? I'm not sure if it's possible to detach it swiftly enough to be useful in an emergency.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

OK, I took your last line to imply that somehow Mongo just works in a way that others don't.
I did something similar with a couple of my projects. Our apps had a soup of Jquery, Backbone, Backbone Marionette and a bunch of other libraries, and while we didn't get 90% less code (more like 70-75%), I feel it was a worthwhile migration. The overall structure of our code base is simpler.

Angular does have its annoyances and compromises, and in some areas, it's kind of a pig (i.e., ng-repeat).

Our projects aren't massive in scope (they're targeted towards small enterprise implementations), however, so I don't think Angular's limitations will really hit us hard except in certain use cases.

The problem is that the law often isn't clear. You have assault, battery, manslaughter, murder, unlawful detainment, and similar laws on the books, all with varying requirements and all with various carveouts for law enforcement, self-defense, etc. They tend to be written in broad language because real life is complicated. In the end, the law in this area is generally in the form of case law created by courts in response to novel situations. The courts have to make judgement calls. In my experience, LE agencies make a lot of effort to ensure their policies conform to existing caselaw and cover the gaps in it. Sometimes they get it wrong. But more often than not, when a policy is particularly egregious, the underlying law is to blame.

In the end, police have broad authority to use reasonable force to effect lawful arrests and searches. And most people don't understand just how broad that authority is under the law.
The final paragraph I really don't get:

> Despite its serious technical problems Angular 1.x is a success especially among corporate developers with a Java background. The 2.0 rewrite is aimed at front-end developers [...]

... says who? I don't know any Java developer who does Angular now, and who ever said front-end devs are the target audience of the rewrite?
Fair enough, I'm not familiar with the high end dishwashing machines.

Although I do have a single plate.
There's also the counter argument, that quite a bit of innovation was done by less than fully mature people. Part of this, is the life experience that makes one realize that something isn't possible or practical also is a barrier to trying anyway.

I know that for myself, I used to write a lot more code that I wouldn't even dream of starting now, just because I realize how much work is involved for the little return. But sometimes I which I could get temporary amnesia so that I could recapture that youthful enthusiasm.
A non-uparmored Humvee seems like a nicer pickup truck, and would be useful in a small town where rescues in an isolated area are part of the job.

At first glance, the diagram does not look isolated enough.

There should be clear separation and interfaces between the different services.

There seem to be only one database for all of the system, wich sets a strong dependency between services.

Perhaps the right question is: It this microservice enough?
We are in agreement. Bitcoin is pegged to energy price, as was noted in the top comment. Energy prices are down. Currencies largely pegged to energy prices, such as the ruble are also down.

On the converse the cost of the bailout is pegged to the price of money. Fiat lowers that cost via inflation. The surplus currency created by the bailout is reflected in low interest rates.

The key is that money is more fungible than energy. Buying energy and converting it into bitcoin is likely to be inefficient when the market reaches equilibrium. As a value store, nobody wants rubles when they try to cash out.
You're using this as a platform to address other issues than what I think the OP is hinting at.

Soylent isn't "new". It isn't "disrupting" anything. Meal replacement alternatives have existed for decades and there are numerous brands out there that have a medical proven trackrecord that can be obtained for cheaper than the Soylent we're seeing pushed today.

What we have here is a case of "forward thinkers" believing that some crackpot idea from the startup culture is suddenly revolutionary because they marketed it best to this subculture of life. You're a sucker to believing Soylent offers anything revolutionary yet paying above market to have them feed you that lie.

Carbs are a bad thing in large amounts. The FDA's daily carb intake recommendations (250-350g) are a joke.
I agree with the sentiment of the of the article. Dependencies should be isolated and not spread out all across your application. Even though both don't have tight definition, I think it's fair to say that a framework is usually larger in scope and API surface area than a library and usually impose a certain way of coding (and toolchain) on you. Isolating your dependencies (gui, persistence, ...) is a lot easier when you use a small library than using a framework that pretends to have all the answers.

It is true that you have to lay out more infrastructure yourself working this way but I feel that this is a really good thing because it makes you really think about the problem you are trying to solve, and don't just think in terms of the patterns your framework offers (e.g. MVC: "I have some logic, so I'll put it into a controller!"). This usually leads to code that is a lot easier to understand and is easier to test. Also, every application is different and with the framework way of doing will always end up having to shoe-horn things.
