I've seen a lot of people comment about their employers in different forums that they are upset that the employer did not make any statement at all about the current situation

I'd like to ask you folks on what you guys think and feel about employers deciding to make statements or not make statements at all

It's right there in the article: “Racism is a lamentable thing,” Son wrote on Twitter, ending his post with the hashtag #blacklivesmatter.

If you discount a subset of a systematic issue and paint it in a broader light, it doesn't portray an accurate picture.

It's nice that they're doing this, but I think they could increase their funding for minorities. We've seen them have bigger funds for vaporware that didn't really pan out

I think we all know that all lives matter, but the point is that black lives are in danger thats why were saying black lives matter

Ignoring specific subsets of systematic issues are synonymous with tone deafness

dang is pretty good at moderating comments and fixing bugs too when you report it to him or if he sees it in your comment

How do you usually handle game state for online multiplayer games to avoid cheating? My background isn't on making games, but knowing more about this domain is something I'm curious about

I'm guessing you can use timestamp by having PlayerA and PlayerB send udp packets, but wouldn't that cause latency, even if you put the instance region zones close enough to both players? How about direct socket connection between PlayerA and PlayerB and sending some results to the backend, but how do you prevent cheating on the client side then?

I'm not sure exactly, but I suspect it goes something like this:

An algorithm they are using are finding a match in some category(ies) for you that other people have already searched or it might be an AI trained model. Like there are people you know or close to your network, that searched for the same thing and they clicked the specific link.

Now use a curl in a vpn in a different network and you get totally different results.

Like the pareto principle, there's a small amount of mental models that you'll find really useful in a recurring basis.

some of them might be helpful in rare situations

It took me a few seconds on how to use this, but once I figured it out, I was like, damn, this is pretty cool!

I wish there was a cli for this

I'd like to see how much they're paying the actors and how they make the courses

I've seen this exact information before, multiple times actually.

It seems like it's just a rehash of the same generic advice

What I'd like to see, is if you enforce this in a dysfunctional team, would that team still be dysfunctional?

Are these habits things that come out organically from some high functioning team? Cause I bet if you enforce these kinds of habits to a dysfunctional team, that team would still be dysfunctional, but most likely better.

Highly functional teams, would always make things happen, and if you join highly functional teams, you will be part of their culture and reinforce habits

There are also, enjoyable teams. Teams that have an amazing culture. Those teams are great to be in, but have a different culture compared to highly functional teams

Pretty cool stuff

what do you mean? isn't the logistics and conflict resolution of amazon, pretty much best-in-class?

can you please add this to your css, i cant see all the other career fair posts

.job_list {

overflow-y: scroll; }

anyone wanna share their thoughts about deploying their own messaging system vs using a messaging system provided by their cloud provider?

I see this in a lot of websites i visit. I usually inspect them just out of curiosity.

Some of them get pretty clever, like a hidden element that says something funny

The funniest thing I saw, is I was looking at an API from a top-tier tech company and the person who wrote the software had message in it containing words of frustration. Like swear words.

But, the weirdest thing I usually see is how the flagship of some top tech company can't make their website responsive when all you have to do is change a few of lines of code.

Or when they upgrade their UI/UX and they just broke a lot of features.

On other forums it seems like it splits into two group. One group says that it depends on the team and that they love their current team. And the other group is how working for Cruise is the worst decision they've made in their life.

My curiosity is with, how does a company totally change their culture and do a complete 180%? From having workers completely hating their current company to completely not seeing themselves in moving to a different company. As some companies used to have employees mentioning it is the worst tech company in the bay area to one of the best in the bay area

There are a lot of advice out there and looking for advice that you dont need and mental models that you dont need can be a huge waste of time. Know the problem you have at hand, and find out what people are doing to solve it, dont look for answers for problems you don't have.

Reading non-fictional books can be a waste of time. IE: I've read over 40 non-fiction books in 365 because I enjoy them. This approach is not time effective because you can usually put the wisdom and knowledge of one book in 1 paragraph

Know your context and know if those advice apply to you

Thanks for this blog, I might actually write one in the future too from what Ive learned from making tables.

I've never usually thought writing a blog about making tables would be a good idea

out of curiosity how do you guys make money?

looks like you guys have a big team and have been running for a decade now doing open source stuff

lmao well out of curiosity why have you folks never open sourced hn?

even if its just the fronend?

wouldn't it help if your community of hackers decided to contribute? it seems like a good majority of people are willing to work on it

im assuming that since a lot of people are playing with the hn api

Paxos vs Raft: Have we reached consensus on distributed consensus? — Heidi Howard

Right that was the confusing part

Wow, great job of getting that shipped real fast, It's really obvious now

Maybe other people already experienced this issue in the past but didn't really know who to report it to, or wasn't big enough of an issue

have you tried taking a break and going on vacation and not think about tech at all?

sorry, this is what i meant, which i never realized since 2015

left side of my name has a number

far right side of my name has a number

left side of my name is the points of my comment

right side of my name is the comments beneath my comment

I never realized that

also thanks for pointing out the rules of the forum, sometimes people forget

and thanks for modding hn

the bug that i find surprising is when i type a text, i need to make two breaklines to show one breakline

fair enough, i see, left side points, right side comments

This comment of mine going from +20 upvotes to -1 upvotes in 1 hour is surprising

For job prospects, top 10 tech companies would make it hard to get in as a javascript developer

The most ideal languages at a certain time is based on what is most in demand, relative to the supply company needs

Right now mobile developer demand > supply, for top tech companies at least relative to JS developers

Here are the things that I really really hate about javascript:

I find javascript really hard and annoying, even if I have enough experience with JS that lets me build a basic react framework, I still find it hard to use.

On top of that, getting javascript jobs is harder compared to other programming languages. IE: you need 7 years of experience for a company at the same level where they only need 1 year of IOS/Android experience.

You always have to be keep up to date. The popular libraries that you can use changes so fast, and sometimes they don't even work.

Javascript gets a lot of disrespect from beginner engineers. Something about doing frontend work, isn't hard and it isn't software engineering in their perspective

There are so too many ways to do the same thing, unlike something like lets say golang

You always have to learn more than javascript to compete with other javascript developers. IE: dev ops, backend, database, sre, ux design

Nowadays, I have a hard time reading, im not sure why. I used to love reading anything in the past few years, now I find it easier only to read documentation from programming frameworks.

Thank you for writing this great piece that made me need to finish the essay
