This is upvoted higher, so I would have expected comments to be moved here. I think if you're consolidating posts and comments, upvotes should go with. It doesn't age well when viewing /best. Sort of a confusing experience

Rent is way up in Brooklyn as of late 2021. I decided to leave nyc because renewing my lease came with a significant rent hike to the “pandemic deal” I got.

Commercial-wise, I can’t see it recovering to pre-pandemic levels. I’m not seeking an office out and I know many friends / former coworkers that are happy not in an office

Yeah, seems like a silly way to grant access

JS is a punching bag because it’s a moving target that most everyone has to deal with at some point and pre-ES6 JS had quite a few warts. It’s a fine language now, especially with TypeScript helping to push things in the right direction.

I left .NET land for this very reason. JS pales in comparison to .NET framework fatigue

I agree with the post. I should be able to set how I view my search results. Not everyone has the bandwidth to download all of the album art.

My most recent, frustrating bug is setting an album or podcast to be available offline and then having to wait 30 seconds to 1 minute for the iOS app to give up on finding the network while in airplane mode.

Like another top comment mentions, there seems to be no cohesive vision.

If a true competitor ever emerges, I’m happy to jump ship. I enjoy the subscription experience a lot.

p.s. - I never want ads or popups for new album drops. I’d take a “feed” with search available over whatever “Home” is.

Any reasonably well cured cast iron barely needs any oil

> Japan looks nothing like this.

As a former resident, I disagree. While they are edited, some of them remind of rainy nights in Ogikubo.

If you're interpreting photography as capturing the most accurate version of our vision system, then you're going to be very disappointed with any photograph.

I really enjoy this photographer's perspective. He captures photos as if you're viewing them from the "mind's eye." A+ work IMO.

Disagree. Last outage was a slow degradation in usability. I appreciate when companies are transparent and upfront.

> Uptime for the current quarter: 100%

This is another one of those system status pages that appears to be 100% for SLA reasons. An outage and partial outage are the same in my mind. I understand that money is involved, but the current trend into no visibility into company outages is frustrating to say the least.

IMO, asking payment for open source defeats the purpose of open source software. It’s like an artist gifting a work of art and then expecting compensation after it becomes a extremely popular.

I think the real issue is licensing. We need a separate license for companies that use OSS. A license that expects companies to fund bugs/security fixes if they are interested in the outcome.

I think we need something that builds upon GPL and MIT that makes it clear that if a company is making $xx,xxx’s of dollars from an implementation — they must contribute to the project’s funding. Even better, a monthly subscription that GitHub/Gitlab/etc implement that charge companies who use a project and then automatically allocate a % to each project used from the fee.

This would lead to new and different problems, but less “companies are taking advantage of my code” problems. I think it would also incentivize more OSS similar to how YouTube’s ad model made it possible for people to create more content

I’m in the same position as many other users with frozen accounts. I’ve called and appealed multiple times. I don’t understand how PayPal is a company when they’re clearly out to harm their users.

> and this will show up in future background checks.

I’m not interested in working two jobs, but can you provide some sort of reference around this?

My last two background checks included no employment info and I was fairly certain private sector jobs have no reporting outside the IRS, hence ridiculous interviews.

I knew that the package registry hosted ruby gems, npm packages, and .NET packages, but I did not know it had container image support. That's pretty neat!

My fingers are crossed for a future Github image registry

You’ll find that a lot of software that runs large, enterprise applications is comprised of “pet projects.” Node.js and Python both started as pet projects.

If your criticism is that there isn’t a lot of maturity in the ecosystem, then I would agree. The author also makes this point.

There will always be something the industry is excited about. Rust will eventually find its place and its hype will be eclipsed by whatever new trend/language is cool 4-7 years from now.

People are so quick to forget how things were before behemoths like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. Not all things are free and the outage the internet is experiencing is the risk users signed up for.

If you would like to go back to the days of managing your own machines, be my guest. Remember those machines also live somewhere and were/are subject to the same BGP and routing issues we've seen over the past couple of years.

Personally, I'll deal with outages a few times a year for the peace of mind that there's a group of really talented people looking into for me.

If anyone needed a lesson in bad PR for your company, here it is.

This looks like an attempt to obfuscate the negative sentiments that we’ve come to associate with the conglomerate Facebook. I think there will be some short term success, but Meta and Facebook will become synonymous as Alphabet and Google are.

I’m also reminded that our mass media will play a major role in how public sentiment plays out. Like him or not, you have to admit the great lengths our media has covered Dave Chappelle over the past few weeks. You’d think things like this Facebook rebrand or the stalled infrastructure bill would have more meaningful coverage. Outrage, like sex, sells. I wonder if this rebrand will breach the outrage threshold?

JavaScript/TypeScript changes so much that a codebase will look very different from one year to the next. JS/TS has come a long way and needed to make substantial change, but I appreciate the slow moving, methodical nature in which the Go team moves the language and environment forward.

> It is assumed that by following the steps in this proposal that Alpine users will be presented with a functional Rust toolchain which has a maintenance window of 2 years, that is also supportable by the Rust community through its normal support channels.

I’m struggling to see the benefit of moving from community to main. It seems more symbolic and geared towards making certain guarantees for end users, but it’s hard to grok that

Unlimited PTO is widely adopted because companies now know that people statistically take less PTO and the less ethical of those companies would like to exploit that.

I would rather work for a company that gives a generous amount so that I can work within the parameters / not feel guilty. It also allows me to put a total value on a offer as well.

Keep in mind managers often make or break your experience. The article could be about OP’s manager as much as it could be Atlassian.

Companies that don’t provide any training and structure with how managers handle engineers end up with employees having wildly different experiences. So, I would find Atlassian at fault here

This exact scenario happened to me two months ago sans cancer and a wife. OP has my sympathy since my situation was not as challenging.

Unlimited PTO is a joke and you will be penalized or fired for exercising the “benefit”

I might get downvoted for not getting on the 2000s style of development bandwagon, but do you really need a web server to serve static text?

Off topic question, but what is the sentiment towards employees who want to protect their privacy at Google?

It seems that the mind can absorb much more than we previously thought from observation. I wonder how the human brain perceives gameplay characters vs humans in a video

“.” is a common convention meaning the current directory. I typically open projects locally with “code .” so I don’t view this as a complete ripoff; however, a section for “prior art” on Twitter and/or the changelog would have been a nice touch

Don’t forget the ever important monthly note taking thread / post where every top comment starts with Roam/Obsidian, followed by org mode, and always ends with a single note text file.

When I went to register my apartment in Musashino, a woman went and found a physical folder, thumped what looked to be 10+ pounds of paper onto the desk between us, and then proceeded to find my apartment. It was found 10+ minutes later.

I was both amazed at the organization and horrified at the inefficiency.

I really like Nic Jackson’s Go series https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmD8u-IFdreyh6EUfevBcbi...
