A stereotype is a negative amplification of facets of a group's culture. You can find stereotypes of white Americans everywhere, from /r/whitepeopletwitter to the movie Undercover Brother(great movie btw). The existence of stereotypes shows that a common culture exists.
> Based on the articles that came out, it would appear that it was a classic case of devs being betrayed by managment and/or the marketing department. One anecdote that struck me was that when the studio announced the April 2019 release, a number of devs thought it was a prank at first because of how implausible it sounded.

It's certainly possible to be the case, and I'm not even ruling out the hack being an inside job given what a clusterf--- this has been so far on a PR level. People gave nearly a decade to this Indie project only to see the same Corpo narrative play out with the dev's being the 'gonks' thrown under the bus when it came to it.

How come management and project leads aren't fore-fitting their pay and bonuses until these things are resorted, mainly because it's always the foot soldiers who are the ones that solve the problems and management overseeing it has an overembelished value, if anything, in ultimately delivering on a diesreable goal.

I can see a disgruntled team of devs saying 'F it' after all of this and just making sure the whole thing ends in a big flame and jumping ship.

Which sucks because I got back into gaming to play Cyberpunk 2077 after taking over a decade off and wanted to see it all pan out, but this may not happen.
Fair point.

In math it is sort of hard to outsource the boring parts of your project to people working beneath you, so I didn't hear people complain that they were getting used. But I can imagine that this might not be the same in other disciplines.
I just checked and we do have your email. Spooky :-).
You joke but I genuinely don’t know what the site is about based on their front page.
Running apps downloaded outside the store requires jumping through an increasing number of hoops or vendors pay to get every build signed off by a single party.
California passed a law required women on the board of public companies based in the state in 2018:

Thanks for offering a balanced view. I wish more believers would see things your way instead of constantly trying to convert everybody to their specific flavour of religion. I personally believe that religion is denialism (denying the reality of our ultimate non-existence). But I also acknowledge that it can be a positive force in people’s lives, giving meaning and purpose.
seeing a lot of people in this list "denounced in an open letter", "petitioned for firing" and the like. maybe we have different ideas about what it means to be "cancelled".

I am afraid I don't understand your point

I don't think you're trying very hard, the comment was pretty clear. But in case you are truly confused, no, that is not what parent was saying.
We should not. Free speech is the only thing that keeps this society glued together, and the actions against free speech taken by the technological elite and it‘s companies over the last several years have primed the landscape for conflict.

You can’t just squeeze the screw tighter on this.

The idea of “I know better than you, therefore I control what you see and say or else” is the absolute height of arrogance.
Years too late. Jack Dorsey has been instrumental in organizing the coup.
Let me correct you here: it's not the speed of light the issue here it's the parasitic capacitance that grows with the size of the subarray.

From that point of view, when the array is large enough, the particular technology you adopt has only minor influence on the access time.
That's the point though; you don't have to play optimally, doing so doesn't really make the game any more interesting.
I agree with everything you said and still I kind of love it. I get to live in a world where sci-fi props are driving on the streets like it's normal. And it's electric. The current times are weird as hell, but it's a relief when the times are comically weird.
Why make personal attacks? You could have made the same points without calling him names.
I read a ton of books, and recall only briefly hearing of it maybe a year ago. Didn't read it; too culturally-political for my taste, and didn't hear of it again. I'll admit, however, I don't go to bookstores much anymore.
Well I'm not sure what you have been referring to, but there has been this one major tech-related anti-trust case in the EU recently, and it revolved entirely around abuse of market dominance:

https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_19_...

The EU website should have all the further answers you need, all the cases, translated into all the languages, and the regulations written down in relatively simple language (you don't need a lawyer to understand). It's really all there:

https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-economy-euro/doing-busine...

There's even a search engine so you can look up all the cases.
IMO it will be the only thing people use one day. I‘m thinking ready player one.

For now. I think it‘s a good solution for certain people. I have gigabit fiber, but no interest to buy a gaming pc atm. So what if I quickly want to look into a game without spending thousands? Could be an OK solution.
I appreciate that you’re giving the benefit of the doubt to what was, in retrospect, a poorly written dichotomy on my part.

However, I can’t follow the point you’re making. If it isn’t too much to ask for an internet stranger, could I ask you to rephrase that?
It's simpler in the sense that journalctl already provides some filter options that you no longer need to build yourself.

There are a lot of people that use OS with systemd, but only a small part know about journalctl. I took this opportunity to spread this information.
Simple systems can indeed be made of complex components; however it is a measure of interconnectedness. The key concept is that we can only hold a finite amount of complexity in our heads at any one time, and so if we can minimise that we can be more efficient and effective.

The analogy is a lego castle vs a wool castle. A lego brick is very simple and contained, and from this you can build wonderful structures; in addition if you wish to change out a portion it is easy to do because changing on part of the system (i.e. implementation) doesn't affect the rest so long as the contract between components is maintained.

Contrasting: should you pull on a thread in a wool castle it will affect other parts of the castle. A lot of software is like this, which makes it very hard to reason about.
Pretty much everything a startup does is find resources that are underutilized and then utilize them for something outside their main purposes. If it is someone who's donating $100K to charity for publicity...well, that's a pretty neat hack, and one that everybody wins from.
You've never been reading, reached the end of a page, and sai to yourself, "Oh hey footnotes, I wonder what they are attached to?"? Superscripts are easier to ignore because they don't modify the word or phrase's presentation, while links necessarily modify the whole thing.
I believe gotProject is a project management tool for regular people (not companies or large project teams) but I understand your confusion.
Not once does the article mention "Health Care Reform", having to cover no preexisting conditions, etc.

I'll be honest in that I'm not sure when it kicks in, but you know as any business they have to plan accordingly.

I'm not speaking to you as someone interested in your idea, I'm here to help someone is clearly unfamiliar with how this community tends to communicate and interact.

Also, you failed to directly reply to comment, breaking the thread. Click reply on the comment you wish to reply to, not the thread.

I don't think you grasp my greater point. It's not about your words not making 'us' a match, it's that they are poorly chosen for this whole community.

Another thing to point out, "involvement in the Company."

There is no company, there is no product, there is no revenue. Don't talk about fictions of your mind. People are regularly reminded here not to obsess over titles and fictions of thought. Also, the capitalization makes this borderline grotesque.
and just like chatroulette or most anonymous forums, the tone quickly deteriorates to the level of graffiti in a public bathroom stall.
You must be marking your spam incorrectly, at least not in the way that the gmail devs imagined. I get a ton of "me" spam, having never hidden my email address and not changing it for 10 years, but they always end up in the spam folder. (added my personal domain to gmail back in 2006)

For as long as I've used gmail, I've just hit the "mark as spam" button, never blocked individual domains. Apparently, YMMV.
Youtube (64.08%), Soundcloud (11.37%), Vimeo (9.94%), Mixcloud (3.84%) and then everything else is less than 1%
What do you think about 64-bit tags (particularly in the context on ssh)?
Thank you! I'm afraid we don't have a configurable keymap yet.
> I know there is a lot of hate for Java on HN

I can't speak to the technical merits of either language, but something can be said about choosing a language with a lot of hype as opposed to one that's hated in the community. From a recruitment perspective, choosing Go may be more favorable in a lot of developers eyes.
Interesting to note they released these back in July of last year.
You're not going to find a lot of "gangsta" taxi drivers or taxis in Englewood, so I think you're fine.
I am a graduate of the Flatiron School. With some reservations, I would say that it was a great investment. However, I would not say the same of General Assembly and some of the other boot camps.

What was great about Flatiron:
- Really good faculty that cared not just about tech, but about teaching
- Really good curriculum that fosters basic CS skills and an 'engineering mindset' instead of just 'learning Rails'
- Fosters an attitude that encourages learning for learning's sake
- Great support through the job placement system.

What was not so great:
- You really can't come in with 0 experience and come out a competent developer. Most of the people in the program had at least some prior familiarity with coding, even if the experience was shallow.
- Instruction focuses on the students at the middle of the individual semester's bell curve. Students with no experience (or lacking basic computer skills) can get left behind, students with way more experience (or more aptitude) can get bored.
- To me, the average salary touted by the school is inflated. Most people seem to have landed in jobs that pay around 50-60k initially, although many people are able to move to higher paying positions quickly.

I haven't personally been through the GA bootcamp, but I know two people who have and have worked/interviewed with others that have. GA seems to not really give a shit about actually educating people or getting them jobs, just about making sure they pay tuition. There is little to no job counseling, instructors are of (at best) mixed quality, and the curriculum is extremely confused.

Like anything else that you're going to spend 12k on, do your research before you commit. Some schools are great, some are not, and what you get out of it always depends on what you put into it. Look for one (like flatiron) with great job placement, and connections to companies.

Additionally, the idea that 'most companies' require a CS degree for web devs is just not true. Most job postings that are out in the wild might ask for that, but most companies hire new devs through job placement services, or connections that can vouch for the skills of non-degreed developers, rather than through cattle call services like Linkedin, Craigslist, etc.
Actually I'd take a good Fortran or Pascal developer any day. What programming language they know isn't relevant. If they're a good engineer they'll figure out javascript or whatever the flavor of the month is.
Definitely Dropwizard or Ninjaframework
> Are there enough Ruby devs to sustain this?

So far so good. We’ve been in business for nearly a decade now (with the game engine going onto year 3).

> Unity, Unreal, React Native game engine, or one of the other (thousand) game engines out there?

Well our ability to deploy to console eliminates most engines as competitors/options. Unreal is a fantastic engine for 3D games. Unity is... well... not that great to be honest.

Other differentiators are on the site.
Most plugins do not though, and will happily do stuff like run static analysis or lint rules over code that hasn’t changed from the last build 30 seconds ago.
Agree. I don't know if the Ruby interpreter is what I'd look to for performance in a game.
> Would the discussions, consultations between the judges and the independent subject matter experts be published?

No such consultation exists.

> Or is the judgement based upon the subject matter experts presented as witness from both sides themselves?

Since this was a decision as a matter of law, and not one turning on disputed facts (the Supreme Court can decide cases on either basis), the judges are the relevant subject matter experts.
It seems to be a custom implementation based on mruby and LLVM.

See “What is DragonRuby?” at http://docs.dragonruby.org/.
To be fair, in this case the rule is not quite arbitrary, because it, in fact, follows from the definition of span (as a subspace).
Very cool! Would love to see this get traction :)
It's almost what they intended. It was an internal API that they never thought would be exploited. (I.e. used by third parties.) Calling it scraping is a pretty fat lie.

I've just checked. My phone number is in the data set. I've never set my phone number public so no one should have been able to 'scrape' it.

On a side note, I remember learning about this feature, or maybe an earlier incarnation, a few years ago when a friend showed the the profile of a girl he just met at a bar. The girl had a pretty common name so I asked my friend how he looked her up, did they have friends in common. I was really just curious how FB would now which person to show. He said "no, she gave me her number and you can look them up like so and so". (I can't remember whether you could search for the number or had to create a contact, but it's besides the point.)

I was pretty baffled because it was obvious that you could just create a very powerful white pages type of db pretty easily. Which someone apparently did for half a billion people.

This also explains how someone managed to call me from a UK number a few weeks ago trying to sell me some news paper subscription. They said they were from the "Herald digest". And they did know my name (so it wasn't just dialling random numbers.)
Nothing lightweight with any solution involving the IntelliJ platform, lol.

Still, you're better of with the specialized IDEs. Some of their functionality is not available as plugins for IntelliJ IDEA, even though it would probably be feasible.
> I didn't know that people were paying to do a PhD anywhere on earth.

Some universities ask for tuition fee.
Thanks for the help! I definitely was confusing VPN with Shared Private Networking and VPC. Just started to read up on the AWS VPC and this is exactly was I needed!
Classic MacOS did the same thing. Basically, all GUI processes call GetNextEvent() at the head of the event loop. In 1985 Andy Hertzfeld wrote Switcher which used the GetNextEvent() entry point to pause an app and allow another app to run until the next call. Hertzfeld got the idea from the DOS utility Memory Shift.

With well behaved apps it worked remarkably well. Apple brought it into the OS as MultiFinder.
How about NFTs?
Isn't exactly the same thing true of stocks? I always wish I had bought Apple or Tesla at the right time, but I didn't.
Extremely common on managed server providers, not so much on self-hosting. So, I think a vast amount is missing under the iceberg.

Also money
Apache is probably not the best choice to use as a reverse proxy to Node.js. One would probably have better luck with Nginx or something with a similar asynchronous design as node.
One word: Intrapreneurship
there are lots of ways to do it but what is it that it will look more appealing or new? for example globes like when u text to another cellphone and in the msg menu the msg wont dissapear it will only remain as globe green to blue blue to green :D
Note that he said "Google was the only one where me speaking my mind never seemed to cause a problem." So he's not necessarily implying that all criticism is wholly rejected at Facebook, just that his criticism sometimes caused problems.
I'm just wondering, everyone was pissed off with Gawker because it didn't use best practices to secure it's users. Well, you could say it was their duty to do so.

I can't imagine why anyone would break into HN, but if it actually happened, who would be to blame?

I am a little late to the party here, but Google says they have FAR fewer than 400,000 pages: http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&safe=off...

Blasphemy, don't you commit every keystroke? :D
I'm from Europe (Belgium) so I can't really comment on the situation in the USA. But we have here a continuous need for good GIS programmers for government contract work but also for utility organisations and some larger businesses. Also things like track-and-trace are booming. I never regretted getting in this business although I must admit that I came from the opposite direction (from a master in geography to fulltime programming).
So you screw up once and you learn. Why do you have to learn now, when your labor is in demand, rather than later (accepting OP premise) when the value of your labor has been arbitraged away?
My experience with AP Stats was that it was more like "AP Calculator" because a good 80% of the test was about entering numbers into my TI84's lists and then picking the right stats functions to run. My textbook had more calculator tutorial than theory.
Or create sequestration systems so the net is that? Or would the numbers change?
>the numbers will take care of themselves over time

Over time maybe a great overstatement depending on context. Context being sensible programming and genetics. Really mostly genetics. The extremely motivating newbie and even intermediate gains exhaust very rapidly. Lifting can become very monotonous and tedious grind after a few years. It helps to have adopt an analytical and zen attitude towards progress after that. Most advanced lifters will go through multi-year plateaus at some point, it takes an entirely different mind set to pursue the hobby then. Injury prevention also becomes significant considerations when you become sufficiently strong (and old), eventually it's about numbers and not health - training then is not a great health prescription for people. That said, a beginning strength regime is absolutely something everyone should pursue for longevity and quality of life improvements. Intermediate+ strength training will help most folks structure many parts of their life from routine to diet to work ethic. Anything more and like every hobby, it becomes a very time intensive pursuit that requires a lot of sacrifice.

All that is to say, strength training for most people will inevitably turn into a job, and like most jobs, make sure it's something you enjoy. For some people the joy is intrinsic and the process is easier, for others it's work, and and the level of fulfillment is correlated to what one makes of it.
As an AFOL: I'm actually cautionally optimistic about this.

I actually trust the TLG to do good here. They have had a bunch of exposure to the "internet people", over the years. I think they'll handle this well.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego_Mindstorms#History

> The original Lego Mindstorms Robotics Invention System was born out of a collaboration between The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Lego group. In 1985, Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, then Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of The Lego Group, heard of the work of MIT's Seymour Papert and was struck by how similar his goals of learning through building were to those of The Lego Group’s newly formed educational division. The Lego Group began a partnership with Papert’s Media Lab, funding their research and sharing ideas.

Also, if TLG fucks this up: It's not like it's that hard for someone to create a new bricklink-like brick trading site.
None of which saves you from a camera looking at the numbers on the card while you insert it.
I took the FE in 2003 in Illinois. All I took in was my basic scientific calculator (no programability or graphing). I was shocked when they turned around (against our pre-exam instructions) and allowed non-querty graphing calculators. I went through the first half with my scientific calc, then ran home at lunch to get my TI-89 for the second half. Thankfully I lived nearby the testing facility. Passed the FE on the first try. I've never taken the PE (have never worked under one for the required period).
We're having absolute misery with their support at present. Panorama's not been logging data for 45 days now. They've just completely missed the last two teleconfs.
This aside...hows the general plastic pipes & microplastics situation?
I would have to disagree on two counts. The first point is pedantic, but, in the standard normal distribution, half the curve is over ten times greater than the mean. Of course, that's cheating, since the mean is zero, but it's not impossible for the relationship between the mean programmer productivity and the standard deviation to allow for large number of programmers with 10x the mean productivity.

The catch is that any normal distribution which allows for large numbers of 10x programmers requires large numbers of programmers with negative productivity. However, I disagree that those values are meaningless. Rather, it simply indicates a programmer who makes code worse. I would readily argue that, for every 10x programmer, there's at least two who create more bugs than they solve.
There's good data and bad data.
AFAIK you can register a generic term provided no other body objects during the registration period or the term is not already in use in the relevant industry. I actually have no idea about how the law defines generic names, can anyone enlighten?
Keep your chin up. Your example sites look really good and there are lots of companies that would hire someone with 6 months experience. Under-qualification is a state of mind.

More specifically, if your GPA sucks, don't put it on your resume. Talk up your strengths, get out there and I promise you'll find a job as a programmer and it won't be as painful as you think.
I would not go as far as multiple personas in this day and age, but yes I do wonder why Facebook's privacy problems hasn't caused MySpace to gain.
I heard a few people at the next table talking at a restaurant about the new Thunderbolt. Try said it's "a droid" and it was a solid phone because Microsoft built it. I won't comment on if the percentage is valid or not, but a LOT of normal people out there are confused about the current mobile landscape.
