These comments are mainly condemning the police. While they are definitely at fault here, so is society in the US as a whole. It's become pretty common in the states to not allow children to go outside without supervision. You just don't see kids biking down the road alone anymore. These cops have taken it too far, and made up reasons to arrest the parents, but in general the idea of children having any sort of freedom or responsibility is pretty much dead in this country.

if this is real, i doubt the intention is to get a bunch of publicity. really seemed more like venting

Federated login has existed for a while. The main diff w/ Eth is the way it works with its keys. But saying it "solved a major problem" is a real stretch. You could say the same about Okta and the like. Stuff like this has been around since the 90s.

The main problem I see w/ Eth login is that it relies on your credentials being on the machine, and makes propagating those to other machines harder for non-tech folks. Whereas the whole user/pass solution is much easier to follow for the common person.

I have mixed emotions on this framework. If you're doing a simple project, Next is the best around. Also great for marketing pages, etc. But if you have a more sophisticated app, with an API, page routes that need to toggle based on cookies, etc, then you have to integrate something like Express. I've done this several times with Next, and it just doesn't pay off. I've also tried to use it at work, but it changes rapidly, and it'd be too much to expect engineers who aren't keeping up with everything on the clientside to know what to do.

I feel like there's a need for something between roll-your-own and what vercel is offering.

Reminds me of a story someone told me, about her grandparents who were both deaf. They had an alarm clock that had a string attached to their wrist, and would tug when they needed to wake up.

Similar to https://vercel.com/docs/v2/git-integrations/vercel-for-githu... as well

I did a similar project that I pitched to a few VCs, got negative feedback, then saw Vercel (was Zeit at the time) launch that feature. So I archived the project & OS'd it. Guess I should have pressed on

also the quality of blurays is still way better - during this shelter in place i've started buying some and really like it

that was the exact thing that caused me to start using netflix - i used to spend so much time on cable browsing channels, only to realize i spent 30+min doing that

now the same thing is happening with netflix. i'm not sure if it's that the selection has greatly diminished, or if it's the algos (hbo max suggestions are pretty good imo)

i think the smartest thing these services do is allow you to share accounts. i would have canceled a while back but my family is using it too

To add to that, the interactions they showed during the demo appear to be by finger, not mouse. They are treating it as iPad first, bubbling into laptops/desktops.

Apple took off with the .com boom and became a staple of every startup. But since the iPhone they've shifted to being a consumer focused company, and I don't see any reason why they would dedicate too much resources to improving their products for developers/designers.

It's pretty sad because they are still the best option. But people are not happy with them, and it's been getting worse over time. I really think Microsoft has an opportunity to cater to power users and release a really beautiful OS. But not Windows - would have to be something new

I don't get this argument. Apple built the platform, so they can set a price. Any price. Their platform, their decision. Companies like Basecamp can decide to distribute on that platform or not. It's Apple's prerogative to find the optimal fee, to pair with what companies are willing and able to pay.

Letting apps link out to websites for paywalls circumvents all of this. If I was in Apple's position I'd limit that as well.

reminds me of the 'ol stripe generators, that were big in the early 2000s

Used this pretty extensively, and followed their dev branches. FWIW if you want quality results the best option is Agisoft, on a GPU machine w/ some custom python to automate.

`debugger` only triggers a breakpoint if you `node inspect <file>` - https://nodejs.org/api/debugger.html

IMO the biggest difference between CCPA and GDPR is that GDPR does not distinguish between large and small companies. Everyone needs to comply. At least with CCPA you can bootstrap a company and not have this be another thing you need to worry about, on day 0

Exactly. You can have a rock-solid password login system, but pretty much everyone has a reset feature which kicks a link to the email address, and allows that user to change the password. It's no less secure than that.

Everyone who works at Fb does.

I am not a vegetarian, but I would happily pay double to eat meat that doesn't result in an animal being killed. But it'd have to taste okay, at least, for me to make that jump. Doesn't have to be perfect, but has to satisfy a craving for a burger or something like that.

I worked at a company that had viral apps during the same timeframe mentioned in Zuckerberg's response. Our company pulled data of friends of friends. The amount of data people gave us was staggering.

A few years later the data was much more restricted, much harder to get, and much clearer to the user what was going on.

It's easy to point to Fb and say they are evil, but it really seems to me like it's the 3rd parties that are causing most of the issues, and Fb has been pretty decent at locking it down in the last number of years. Keeping in mind that they were the first who had social data in such large amounts where there was no prior example.

Close to opening up a service that does this for pull request branches, from GitHub to AWS ECS/Fargate.

Glad to see this kind of workflow gaining momentum.

reminds me of mine ( http://reu.iwarp.com ), also on iwarp :p

Use any, really. If you want "best in 2018," in Node, my recommendation is Next ( https://github.com/zeit/next.js/ ) - it is extremely good if you want to kick something up fast, and get it out as an MVP. And can be extended upon to have a rich application, with a variety of other frameworks.

thanks!

End of the first week, from the first place I worked out of college. A web design/dev shop in Connecticut that built out sites for schools and hospitals, mostly. This was back in 2008.

I had joined and was learning the ropes of their dev process. There was still some paperwork that needed to be signed. Someone brought me the contract to sign, and I read it through, and it had a non-compete clause that said that I could not work for rival company, or "any other software engineering company" in "connecticut, new england, the eastern United States, or anywhere else in the United States" for "a minimum of 2 years." No joke.

I asked them what that was all about, and they said it was a company policy. I did some research, learned all about non-competes, and told them that the clause was so broad that it would never be upheld, but they said everyone just signs it. I told them no, grabbed my stuff and drove home. Was probably one of the best decisions I made, since the path I went down led me to a company that was acquired by Fb, etc etc

VR seems like it has some good room to grow, since consumers still need to adopt it fully. I do think AR is the future, but not until batteries improve significantly.

I built https://conjure.sh in my spare time, which watches github pull requests and spins up containers, so that engineers can review quickly without as much context switching. Still putting final touches on it (working out kinks with AWS Fargate).

Also led an engineering team at a startup that is seeing some good growth, but left it at the end of the year after some internal drama.

Hmm interesting - I'll check out Baobab

Seems like I read a different take on CTOs / VPEs every week or two. I've been a VPE several times, and as a cofounder. I, personally, think that a company should never have a CTO until you split the role into two; a CTO & a VPE working alongside each other. In that situation, the VPE manages the team, makes sure things get done, etc. While the CTO is working with other "C-staff" planning the longer (year+ out) roadmap of the company, with a focus on Engineering.

I have struggled with these roles and names, similar to Bryan Helmig, the author of this post. I have consulted with some former bosses, that now lead engineering teams at some of the larger companies here in the bay area, and have come to the conclusion that most CTOs are really VPEs, just using the wrong title, but in the end, the title does not really matter. Since it is extremely flexible in definition.

looks like a maze which shows you where to enter and leave. must not cross your own path, and the .s and , would work well in creating a geolocation
