41,798,308 | comment | veggieroll | 2024-10-10T12:53:22 | null | One thing on my list for CRUD software is an „I know what I’m doing” button that bypasses validation. Usually it’s behind manager or admin approval.<p>It’s pretty tricky to get right and is very case by case in what it specifically means. But it’s been critical to handling edge cases.<p>For example, in 99% of cases, you can’t progress to stage X without doing Y. But in this case „I know what I’m doing”.<p>Though this puts a lot of pressure on downstream processes to handle missing data. Fortunately that hasn’t been an issue too much because validation grows and changes over time and must naturally deal with records that were created under prior validation when their state was originally valid. | null | null | 41,798,044 | 41,765,594 | null | [

41,798,317 | comment | sambeau | 2024-10-10T12:55:13 | null | This smells to me of a team overthinking something so much that they land on something unintuitive. It smells of "over-fitting" — a solution way too specific when something general and flexible is needed.<p>Pressing shift three times is clever… but way <i>too</i> clever. Even if you stick a giant popup saying "hit shift three times to quickly exit" I'm not sure anyone in a panic will remember—loads of people don't even know which key is shift, especially when there's three buttons on a keyboard that look the same and only two are the same. I've come across people who always use shift-lock and did't realise you could use shift for anything. I'd be interested to know what UX tests they actually did, and who with.<p>If I was going down the press a key three times, I would have gone with pressing <i>any</i> key three times apart from the number keys (plus an info box when you enter the page—"hit any key 3 times to quickly exit to the weather"). Most people, I'm sure, would mash the spacebar in a panic but if they missed then it would still work.<p>What I would have preferred to test would be 'mashing'/chording — pressing more than one non-modifier key at the same time, so a user could just smash a load of keys at the same time in a panic.<p>Going to the Weather page is a great idea, though. | null | null | 41,793,597 | 41,793,597 | null | [

41,798,328 | comment | flohofwoe | 2024-10-10T12:56:20 | null | I had been working both with NaCl and PNaCl back then, and truth be told, once Google made the switch from NaCl to PNaCl most advantages just disappeared. The compilation of the PNaCl bytecode on start (which was more or less just a subset of LLVM IR) took longer than even the first WASM implementations.<p>PNaCl <i>definitely</i> suffered hard from slow startup times because it ran LLVM for compilation from PNaCl bytecode to native code on startup, and LLVM is <i>slow</i> (I even noticed this compilation process on startup on my absolutely trivial test code). Only the predecessor NaCl didn't suffer from this problem.<p>There was no 'access to other native APIs', PNaCl created its own set of wrapper APIs to access browser features, and while some of those were better than their standardized web API counterparts, some NaCl/PNaCl APIs were worse than the web APIs they replaced - and for the future, PNaCl would have to create more non-standard APIs for every little feature available in browsers, because:<p>Integration with the webpage and Javascript was done via message passing, which was just terrible when compared to how easy and fast it is to call between WASM and JS.<p>The NaCl/PNaCl multithreading feature would have been hit just as hard by Spectre/Meltdown as the SharedArrayBuffer based threading in WASM.<p>Finally, when you look at the PNaCl toolchain versus Emscripten, Emscripten definitely comes out on top because Emscripten was much more concerned about integrating well with existing build systems and simplify porting of existing code, while NaCl/PNaCl had its own weird build system (in old Google NIH tradition). Working with NaCl/PNaCl felt more like working with the Android NDK, which is pretty much the worst developer experience in the world. | null | null | 41,798,223 | 41,795,561 | null | [

41,798,335 | comment | blantonl | 2024-10-10T12:57:14 | null | This really brings back some memories. My first career in IT was supporting and implementing an OS/2 Lan Server based banking implementation for a regional bank in the south. The bank deployed what was essentially a massive flat token ring based network interconnected via Fiber to regional areas and leased lines to branches. It was not Netbios over TCP/IP, it was straight up Netbios over the entire network. Given Netbios is broadcast based for resolution, broadcast storms were common across the network, so a gordian knot of filters and configs were setup at the routers to mitigate this. There was no concept of subnet based routing implemented yet.<p>I ended up taking a job with IBM supporting the TCP/IP stack on top of OS/2. It was a 24 year old me, and a grey beard 60 year old dude that literally supported the entire OS/2 Lan Server TCP/IP stack across the world during the time that corporate networks were just beginning to connect to the Internet. Everyone else on the OS/2 support team at IBM just punted to us anything that was TCP/IP related and thought we were wizards or something. What a wild time to be alive. | null | null | 41,795,919 | 41,795,919 | null | [

41,798,345 | comment | II2II | 2024-10-10T12:58:46 | null | > This raises an interesting question: should email addresses be private? Addresses of buildings aren't private, and they're somewhat analogous as with many computing concepts.<p>There are several ways to look at that.<p>The organization that I work for considers anything that ties two pieces of information about a person together as private information. That is to say that a person's name is <i>not</i> private and a phone number is <i>not</i> private, but connecting a phone number to a name <i>is</i> private. In one form or another, an email is frequently tied to a name (e.g. the email address is based on their name, or an account record includes both a name and an email address).<p>Another way is to consider how accessible the information is. There was a lot of information that was not considered as private prior to the widespread adoption of the internet. One issue that I remember popping up in the early 1990's involved property (i.e. land) records. Historically, people had to go to a government office to access them but they were publicly available. Since they were publicly available, some governments made them available online. Once they were available online, the barriers to access were removed (e.g. having to physically visit an office) and the ability to abuse that information was vastly increased. All of a sudden, people started considering something that used to be considered as public information as private information. | null | null | 41,795,388 | 41,792,500 | null | null | null | null |

In general, the further in you go, the higher level the software becomes. The outer circles are mechanisms.

However, if you are going to make a lot of state changes, having them all happen inline does have advantages; you should be made constantly aware of the full horror of what you are doing.

41,798,374 | comment | nucleardog | 2024-10-10T13:03:10 | null | > Discussing technical changes with non-technical people is usually a giant waste of time. They often don't understand what you want to do in the first place and think it's optional, because why else would you bring it up for discussion?<p>This bears some—well, all of, the emphasis.<p>I’d come at it even stronger I think. Asking people in non-technical roles to make technical decisions is a complete abdication of the responsibilities of your role.<p>You were hired into engineering to take care of the engineering. That is your role. When’s the last time someone in sales showed up and asked you “This guy wants a 25% discount. Do you want me to give it to him?”.<p>They _may_ show up and say “This guy wants a 25% discount and I’m trying to get a better understanding of our costs. Would we be taking a loss on that? Can you help me understand the costs of delivering service X?”<p>And that’s exactly how engineers should be approaching this. The technical decision is yours, however you probably don’t have the same context everyone else has. You _should_ discuss your decisions with others and consult with them, but that discussion is best had in terms of the impact the decision will have on their area of responsibility… which is not technical decision making.<p>In the situations where engineers are going to product to ask whether we should move to microservices or if this UML diagram makes sense, I’ve always seen engineering looking to pass off the decision so they can pass off the responsibility. I’ve run across this in multiple organizations and it was completely dysfunctional every time. And in every case simply replacing the engineering manager with someone that wasn’t afraid of decisions or responsibility quickly resolved the issue. (Which is probably you if you’re in this situation… if there was engineering above you, you’d be asking them instead.)<p>The discussion to be had should be more along the lines of “FYI, we’re looking to fit in three weeks of additional engineering work this quarter to substantially lower the costs of working on service X going forward.”. Product can discuss their priorities, or even share some information you don’t have yet like “We’ve been discussing axing that service entirely. Our tentative offboarding plan is having everyone off by Q3. Do you think the investment’s worth it?”.<p>If you continually ask someone else to do your job… well, be careful what you wish for. | null | null | 41,797,561 | 41,794,566 | null | [

41,798,390 | comment | sholladay | 2024-10-10T13:05:22 | null | It doesn’t have to be so hard, though. One thing you can do is learn to just say “no”. Such as no to cash on delivery.<p>Being flexible is good, but it comes at a cost. When that cost is too high, don’t do it. Realize that the customer who wants that workflow probably isn’t going to be your make-or-break moment. And in fact, they might have flexibility of their own. For example, you don’t accept Amex but they have a backup credit card or cash. It might be annoying to them if they are fussy, but it’s normal enough that the consequences are minimal. And yes, you may occasionally get a customer who doesn’t have that flexibility, but you shouldn’t be pinning your business on rare events. Figure out what’s most common among your target customers and support a few simple workflows. Say no to everything else until you have the resources to do it properly.<p>Another thing you can do is have a hybrid low tech/high tech solution. Automate structured inputs with software. Write down the rest as notes in a logbook. Over time you will probably see patterns in the logbook that you can automate.<p>Lastly, remember what Morpheus says in The Matrix, “Some [rules] can be bent. Others can be broken.” For example, you could simply pay the bill on behalf of the customer who wants cash on delivery. Now you assume some personal risk but the computer system doesn’t have to support their workflow. Is it worth it? Maybe, maybe not, but it’s a choice you can make. | null | null | 41,765,594 | 41,765,594 | null | [
