A snippet near the end: we’ll re-establish the former “Ops Chat” as a new Veep chat space soon

What does this mean?


So if Veeps are “Verily People”, I have to assume this is like a slack channel or some such?


They call themselves a "metroburb", a related article on it: https://newcities.org/the-big-picture-increasing-allure-metr...


Ahh, that is a nice and unexpected bonus. Does “Sign in with Google” allow provisioning of new accounts with appropriate permissions for a service/SaaS by an admin? (I’ve only used OneLogin/Okta)


I'm not sure what level of permissions is available with "sign in with google". In my experience, that is handleded within the SaaS. Here's what's happened (at least in the companies I've worked in, which tend to be a bit smaller).

1. New employee hired 2. They get a gsuite account. This gives them access to google drive, gmail, gcal, etc. (This is the provisioning I think you are referring to.) 3. They can now login to asana, zapier, <other saas tool> with their gsuite account, using "login with google" 4. Their permissions within these saas tools are managed by the admins in those tools (not from gsuite). 5. When an employee departs, you disable their gsuite account. Then they can't log in to any of the SaaS tools, since their google account is disabled.

If you want a user to have centralized RBAC or ABAC, you need to use a real IdP, not gsuite in the way I outline above.

If you are using SAML for gsuite, you can use SCIM, I believe, to provision, but that's a different flow than I have outlined above. https://support.google.com/a/topic/6400789 has more on that.


>there's a LtU user

What is LtU?



long time user


Nice to see default TLS 1.3 support. Though it looks like the use_srtp extension for DTLS is still being worked on.


I couldn’t find a recording of the GDC 2019 talk about non linear level design the article mentions. Anyone know why GDC doesn’t post all talks online but rather uploads a subset of talks seemingly at random?


If you ever find it, I’d love to take a look :>


3 free hours a day? Do you feel it’s enough?


I do get a little burned out every 7-8 weeks, which then for about a week my schedule falls apart and I'm just super lazy for that week.

3 hours without a screen is actually a long time tho. It feels like forever.

I've noticed people have a similar schedule to mine although they get much less sleep and increase the amount of tv or video games. I'd rather get more sleep and have less of that type of free time.


In general, what type/stage of startups would fresh grads (with internship experience) fit in best?


Based on the typical technical skills needed: almost nowhere.

Based on the typical compensation and culture: you describe the kind of employee they target.

And that is in a nutshell exactly what all the comments in the previous thread distill down to.


Later stage in general. The earlier the company, the less structure or resources available for the support and mentorship needed for new grads. Exceptions always exist though.


Imho underpaid, heavily overworked, high chance startup fails. I don't think it's worth it.


Really, all sizes. There are about 50 companies in the directory now that are hiring new grads. The median size is 10 people; there are a bunch in the 2-3 person range and a bunch in the 100+ person range.

If you fill out a Work at a Startup profile, we'll automatically show you a list in the directory with just the companies hiring new grads.


>Japanese are notoriously not honest with their emotions

Internet stereotypes aside, I'd love a source on that


I don't know what "Internet stereotype" is supposed to imply, but you won't live in Japan long before some Japanese friend takes you aside and warns you about the phenomenon of tatemae vs. honne, a Japanese person's public expression of feelings vs his true, carefully hidden feelings. If you learn to read Japanese, you'll notice whole shelves in the big Japanese bookstores devoted to the analysis (mostly by Japanese authors) of differences between Japanese culture and others, such as why the tatemae/honne distinction, present in all cultures, is so extreme in Japan.

Decades ago, anthropologist Ruth Benedict discussed this issue (among others) in her book, "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", which was held in high esteem by the Japanese post-war generation. You might start with that.


I appreciate the readings and will definitely check it out. I've noticed the fetishization of Japanese culture (positive and negative) on the Internet so I'm immediately suspicious of any broad generalizations I see of Japanese people.


I wouldn't just call it an internet stereotype. Have you tried investigating this yourself? It should not be hard to find articles, Youtubers, and bloggers discussing this. Or have you lived in Japan, or have many Japanese friends?
