I lead an internal development team. We're constant building new apps and enhancing old ones. Ember has been a big win for us. Upgrading old apps is a breeze. Every app has a consistent structure and the conventions make it easy for

It read as a positive to me. Uber is losing in Asia and here's Google partnering with Jaguar who's owned by Tata Motors. This sets Google up for North America, Europe, and Asia. For a self driving taxi, I don't understand t

Honestly, I like the anonymity. The random celebrity like patio11 is nice as they usually drop knowledge bombs,but otherwise, I feel like we're all the same, working on our projects. If anything, HN makes me feel like anyone can do a

Yea, this is healthy. Realistically, it's probably smart to check if you're applying to new jobs, but we need to get over this team mentality in politics.

Where I work, we don't hire people without degrees - even for web dev. So that nanodegree would be a good start, but you'd still get filtered out. You'd have hustle to network, let them know you have this cert and that you

I feel like we're in a consolidation phase. We have a ton of tools/software and the big developments have been in how we use those tools aka devops. I'd put things like kubernetes/docker in this category, but there&#x2

The way some larger companies do this is by salary * target bonus * bonus multiplier. Where the bonus multiplier is a function of growth ranging from 0-2. There's no competition between departments and the increase is meaningful to e

How is it considered harmful? This isn't a new issue and afaik no one has lost any money. Coinbase has a backlog. If you want to use Coinbase, you'll have to deal with the backlog. Otherwise, you'll have to deal with their

Everyone's moving to compete with Amazon. Only now, a year after Walmart bought Jet.com, Target is trying to get into the game too. Except all I see is a "me too" strategy, no thought leadership, no unique value proposition

This feels like Target grasping for straws. They're watching Walmart/Jet.com and asking themselves how to compete. I'd be amazing if they don't fuck this up.

As someone just getting into stream processing, does anyone have any resources for comparing frameworks/systems? When Apache has multiple projects that sound like they do the same thing, I don't even know where to start.

IMO, the key to this is to also increase your responsibilities and skill level - which sounds like the OP has, but some people ignore. It's the difference between a 10% bump and 2x-3x moves early in your career. I also think it'

Or, putting everything on the line is rare. Where the biggest failure may be going all-in on a project too soon and having to get a job once you realize the mistake. Where once you have a certain size and level of success, losing it takes

I too think a negative income tax is a better method, but UBI is at least testable in some form. I think we'll see UBI tested and if successful, a negative income tax will be more politically feasible than UBI.

Off-topic, but I've been thinking about doing my own sabbatical in order to focus on my own projects and hopefully start a business. Can you share anything about what you did to get started? How much money you had saved? How did you

It really depends on how much time you have to invest. On the low effort end, you can put some money into coinbase and speculate that way. On the high effort side, you could mine the "up and coming" alt coins on a box. Personall

I hate to shit on projects, but there's 0 way this is production ready. Marak mentioned the lack of tests. Logging is inconsistent - half is console.log, half is winston, and none of it is exposed to the user. No monitoring. No secr

Mostly swing trading. e.g CAN SLIM. My biggest concern is whether it's worth the added stress and time commitment vs passive investing. I do enjoy it, but it does take an emotional toll.

Only concern with the loopback project is the licensing for the database connectors, at least mssql. Can anyone using this in an enterprise setting weigh in?
