Yes! Good point: the manager needs to create the forum for those conversations to happen but the report still needs to take it on themselves to have that sometimes-awkward conversation.

Your first sentence is true. Perhaps it's overly reductive of me, but if that's what your boss would do you're in that red "you should leave anyway" box, in my opinion. A few other commenters have pointed out good r

I think it depends on the situation. I definitely agree that performance-based firings would tend to be extremely brutal compared to the approach I advocate for here (largely due to the various risks posed by aggrieved employees). Perhaps I

Oh, I hadn't considered role-tied visas… that's a good point. Let me add a couple of "excepts" in there. "Never" is too absolute.

Exactly, this sounds like such a grown-up way to wind down a working relationship! I'm sure you'll stay in touch with that person and perhaps even refer people in their direction in the future.

Hmm, I hear you on the first point… Perhaps I'm blinkered to roles in tech (to which this post was aimed, but not explicitly enough)? In my experience at such companies, people certainly aren't walked if they express dissatisfacti

I'm sorry that's been your experience! These managers definitely do exist - I have had them, I have seen them, and I have tried to be one. Perhaps I should have included "rational conversation is possible" as a decisio

This is already happening: the top 5 virtual influencers have over 11MM followers in total. It's not clear this is healthier.

Make part of your AI DJ a reinforcement learning agent whose reward function considers the amplitude and coherence of the movement of the crowd. This agent would enjoy the moving crowds in a much more authentic way than a human DJ would. I

I don't think we need "objectively best" here—merely "subjectively best". And because each person could have their own AI DJ trained on an arbitrarily rich set of preferences and experiences from their one-person au

We actually do support native plugins - alpha live now, beta coming soon: http://docs.trigger.io/en/v1.4/modules/native/index.html

You mean PhoneGap Build? It's actually a bit different, because you have to send up your whole app to their server, where a compile and package is done and the fully-baked app is returned. Useful in some situations, to be sure, but this app

Hi Matt, Of course, there were a number of reasons we were wary of being downstream of PhoneGap. The specific issue of Android performance wasn't a blocker, but was, to us, symptomatic of a philosophical difference between PhoneGap's approa

Hi, Agreed that in your standard app, the overhead of rendering will outweigh that of communication with native code. For us at Trigger, however, we don't have any control over the efficiency of your Javascript, or the interpreter and rende

Yep, I was referring more to native accelerometer events being fed into the web view. True enough that on iOS we would perform comparably, but for Android, it would mean "long"-polling a local web server at 60Hz!

Thanks for the link - I can only see two mentions of 2.2 in that thread: one (in the first question) where the OP was asking about it, and another mention from Patrick, suggesting he think the issue only affects 2.3 phone using JSC. We don'

Hey Patrick, we support from v2.0 upwards, although not as heavily tested on 2.0 and 2.1. Our tooling actually sets users up with an AVD, and our docs ( http://docs.trigger.io/en/v1.2/android/getting-started.html ) do say that 2.3 is not su

Hey Andrew - a disclaimer of my own: I'm a co-founder of Trigger. Actually, we think this is a pretty important benchmark: battery drain and general responsiveness is a huge deal on mobile devices, so we take performance of the bridge very

Thanks! Yep, we see good command-line tools as being the best substrate to build on: even if we did support every platform, people are going to want to run scheduled builds and so on. We actually find ourselves developing as Chrome extensio

Architecturally, we're more similar to PhoneGap than Appcelerator: we do use the native WebView as a container for the app. There's a million things to talk about and this margin is too narrow: I might do a deeper dive in a follow-up post..

What version of IE? Looks OK for me on IE9 (and IE7/8 mode)... Can you get to our main site https://trigger.io/ ?

by jamesbrady 15y ago
Some changes you make to your app configuration can affect what we need to do in the native code, so when that happens we have to go and do a rebuild on our servers. When you're hacking away on your own code - JavaScript, HTML and CSS - no
