This is just such a bad faith argument.

Why not just stay on it indefinitely?

The context is important, Alex Jones was using that study to say that the government was turning people gay intentionally.

For $30 dollars/day, you _can_ find someone to spend 3x15 minutes vomiting into your mouth.

I'd buy meal kits from Whole Foods, etc as a way to learn to cook. You could probably get me to even pay subscription fee if the quality was good and you can deliver via the Whole Foods home delivery couriers. You have all the ingredients available, seems incredibly easy to do for a big innovative chain.

I would totally buy recipe kits from a refrigerator in Whole Foods if that was an option. There’d be no wasted packaging, you still get the satisfaction of cooking and it’s mostly just a marketing gimmick on things already in the store.

I’ve found that overly using spec leads to more maintenance than upside. We went all in using spec and generators when they were released and ended up having to debug the specs themselves. 2c

I had a colleague that would make it a habit to greet everyone by name in the morning. E.g. ‘Goodmorning Dave’, ‘Goodmorning Ben’.

It felt a bit weird at first but overtime him showing up was a point where the whole team felt connected and would chat about the weekend etc. He was former military (and would shake your hand if he had the opportunity) and he forced a bunch of tech people to bond unknowningly.

I kinda do this now, at least when I come into the office if I run into someone I try to say some type of greeting with their name.

I want this but to cancel byzantine gym memberships and other reoccurring charges. Currently trying to cancel a gym membership that won’t answer my calls, reply to letters and insists I have to come in person from 3000 miles away.

Why not talk to the ESO fund to see if they’ll pay your tax bill?

Isn’t it still an escalation of privileges? You’ve gone from having a proper session of system A (limited damage potentially) into code execution on machine Z.

Moviepass should’ve gotten wholesale prices a tenth of the ticket to make it sustainable. At the end of the day, that’s 10x more traffic to concessions etc that theatres can absorb. They also could’ve worked out a profit sharing deal with the movie manufacturers similar to how streaming services pay rights holders.

This is my experience hiring Clojure engineers in a small startup- things became dogmatic and opinionated at a time when we were existentially challenged with building a product.

Just curious, what do you think of QUIC? Seems like a layer 4 replacement, right?

My experience: I’ve posted SF only jobs before and often the only response I get is from candidates outside the US. Since I’m just an IC trying to hire for my team, I can’t comment on anyone’s eligibility for visas etc and end up having to refer them to the recruiting staff- which is a confusing maze of pipes and tubes.

I think this is an unwinnable position. Software projects are multi-faceted and you’ve taken on the role as the savior- it’s not just lack of tests bringing this team down.

I wish you luck but don’t beat yourself up if this doesn’t work out. This sounds like you’re setup to fail.

We are trying to build something similar to CT-scan; except it’s a 1-man team so it’s been a longer journey:

We run functional UI tests with a performance tracer wired up- we already had them setup by feature teams so it was easy to get started. Instead of a Zookeeper scheduler, it’s just Jenkins.

Right now we’ve been able to catch 2-3% relative regressions in things like startup, opening a Google Maps view etc which is pretty good. It was easy to setup and then hard to optimize the variance down so we could get a strong signal.

We’re hiring if any of this is interesting, it’s Golang/San Francisco/Full-Time.

We have a lab environment with multiple phones plugged into a single controller. The controller runs a set of Jenkins agents which advertises the different devices as targets for Jenkins jobs.

Plus, lots of tweaking and perf related fixes to the phone. If you're looking for an off-the-shelf solution, check out Headspin or the Google Cloud offerings.

I work in mobile performance and have built out an automated testing workflow for our CI system to try and prevent big breaking changes to these types of phones.

The issue with testing these phones is the device introduces lots of variance due to the low hardware standards. We typically test for relative changes in key metrics and want to move to testing different types of phones for usability. This is generally hard because the noise makes the test inconclusive.

I don’t think it’s referring to immigration but rather the economic success associated with the American Dream- owning a house, a car and having a plan for retirement.

I think his point is also that to even use the font on the beta OS you had to go out of your way.

These deals are often structured with outs and progressive volume so you’re probably correct. Realistically they probably ordered 500 minivans with a deal to get more based on some targets.

I worked at Apple doing phone tech support during this time and it was a big issue. You could take the iPhone and hold it one way to drop the signal almost completely. For users, it was incredibly frustrating.

You’re taking HN too seriously, it’s not a formal argument for nitpicking - it’s an opinion.

We had a problem advertising Clojure, everyone showed up wanting to write Clojure but didn’t care about our product.

As a series A company it was hard to get purist to focus on shipping and we started weeding candidates out that gave off a ‘I just want to work in Clojure’ vibe. Eventually new stuff got written in Java and we migrated off of it due to the hiring pipeline mostly but when we told candidates some honestly dropped out because they were excited to work in Clojure.

Sorry I wrote that in a taxi from my phone, not a serious usecase but that’s beside the point I was trying to make- I personally have a hard time using python over bash. Thanks for pointing out the security aspect, I don’t typically think about that.

    for i in ‘ls /tmp/foo’; do echo $i | grep bar | cut -d’-‘ -f3,4; done

Is just so much easier to remember than Python’s OS library, right? I can intuitively string that together but can’t write python without looking up the docs and reading a paragraph about idiosyncrasies.

To be fair, you’ll notice if 150 million faxes start going off rather than someone breaking abusing your API.

If this is common in other states I'd assume they've already passed the test for driver partners?

In Go you can use waitGroups to ensure that the goroutines are completed, similar to join. You’ll have to pass a cancel chan or context if you’d like to cancel/timeout.
