HN discussionI applied to AWS Lambda and two days later my manager of two months (who was formerly my skip manager. My manager(s) quit and they couldn't find a replacement for several months, so my team shifted up the report chain.) told me that I had been under performing for the last year and likely put me in Focus [0] which is the precursor to being put in Pivot aka PIP. You can't transfer teams internally when you're in Focu…

HN discussionhttps://www.rstudio.com/products/RStudio/ How RStudio do it. They provide 'priority support' by email in return for an annual license fee. They also do something about the AGPL license that they use with RStudio source code. Not sure if this helps any and it might be worth finding out what kind of legal entity is involved &c

HN discussionAmazing critique! It has a wealth of examples -- I liked the "N+1 query bugs" and "feral concurrency" links (stuff I've experienced but didn't have a name for). ---- The comparison of SQL vs. flink windowing ("kernel space" vs "user space") reminds me of the this 2013 call to change the design of browsers feaetures: https://extensiblewebmanifesto.org/ Basically there's a lot of stuff implemented stuff in the C++ lay…

HN discussionThis problem is one reason why I'm a little mystified by Juypter's widespread adoption. It's got a lot of neat features but the Rstudio/Rmarkdown combo solves the above problem, and for me at least, that's decisive.
