Perhaps a large majority of SWE's in our area have a job right now.
> Ideally everyone's income should be derived from the value they generate.

Define "value". Or more specifically, how do you measure "value" for jobs that don't directly generate revenue?

How much value does the janitorial staff create?

How much value does your IT team create?

What's the dollar value of your cybersecurity team?

What about HR?

None of these teams directly create revenue for the company, but certainly they created value. Meanwhile, Amazon has workers that pack boxes. They are directly contributing to revenue by doing the actual work that is core to the business. If cybersecurity, HR, the janitors, or IT were to disappear for a week, theoretically packages would still get sent to customers and Amazon still makes money.

And yet they're having to fight for fair wages? They're the most valuable labor in the company!

The idea that income should be derived from value is incredibly naive. As I mentioned in another comment, that mentality is what leads to managers laying off the entire IT team because they're seen as a money sink.
Honestly, even if they were using the robot dogs as attack dogs, I'm a whole lot more comfortable with robots with auditable source code (or at least an auditable training procedure) than I am with actual dogs that are basically trainable black boxes, and certainly more than I am with humans, who are trainable black boxes that can rationalise their actions with plausible deniability.
Solo founder: I built a tool and it solves problems for people to the tune of $24k/month

"3." There is a picture about 2/3 of the way through the article that shows the iterations she's went through and some of the changes for color-deficient people.

Edit: I see you saw what I see. Without being colorblind myself, I'm not sure... but I would think the different textures (Solid vs striped) should stand out. I can only assume that she's received valid feedback on "Red with white background" vs "Red with red background" in choosing what she chose.
I wonder if Total Cookie Protection is unnecessary if I have First Party Isolation enabled already
I never understood this feature either. I can already make multiple browser windows if I want. Definitely not interested in PIP.
This is a game changer for sports bettors.

Me personally, will probably stick to one video playing in the background. It's more for ambient noise. On days when there are 4 nba games going on simutaneously, I'm far too busy fiddling with my spreadsheet/nba feed to be actually watching the game.
Yeah Rand Paul really is sick
To be fair, alcohol has not always been "fine". There have been various times in history where alcohol was prohibited and in fact still is in some countries. As much as what happened is a travesty, alcohol may be a good comparison for what is happening with Cannabis. After the prohibition in the US, Alcohol became legal and frankly widespread. Perhaps the same thing will soon happen for weed
Correction:

> Swarmpit and Podman

I actually meant Swarmpit ( https://swarmpit.io/ ) and Portainer ( https://www.portainer.io/ ).

Podman is another container runtime that acts as an alternative to Docker (even if it is not feature complete), so i misspoke.
Seems like something that can be solved with a more streamlined client focused on usability. Consider the difference between setting up a custom domain on mxroute compared to just opening a gmail account. Both user experiences are possible on the email protocol.

Personally I think we've been in something of a dark age for open protocols to our detriment, as oligopolistic companies have increasingly used walled gardens to manipulate or dominate. I'd like to see that trend reversed and protocols like this succeed. Maybe with the rise of the patron model we can actually sustainable fund people who do the work of maintaining these protocols.
It's only a reference to what was implied in your post. Nothing more.

a) Even though you may be able to decay the entire Earth into helium, it is only produced at a constant rate. If the rate of use is higher than the rate of production, you will still run out.

b) Which we have 0 access to.

c) You won't be able to always just "find other sources" of finite resources (I'm thinking more than just helium [unless you plan on becoming a pure helium lifeform]) and the Earth will become uninhabitable long before our resources are exhausted.
You could argue that the OP's preferred choice, NeXTStep, did win, and the loser was Linux.

I haven't used Linux on the desktop for years, but have recently been thinking about going back as Apple seems to be abandoning all of the things which got me to switch. Is it really so hard to make a stylish upgradable/serviceable laptop with a matte screen? That, and maintain the OpenSource packages that you (used to) ship like X11 and OpenSSL?
Maybe someone leaked the Beatles entire collection of restaurant and bar receipts. The announcement seems to aim at the same scale of grandeur as what turned out to be Apple's Beatles in Itunes-announcement.

OK, how representative do you think is a survey in which " 43% percent [of the respondents expect from iPad 2] a CD/DVD drive". To me it seems that either the methodology of the survey is wrong (loaded questions, etc.), or the sample is slanted towards people unfamiliar with the iPad.
Here's the video of a part of the first lecture in which he claims he writes the test questions:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJG7aCQtI8E

Based on that, I think a reasonable student would conclude that even if a publisher's test bank is not supposed to be accessible to students, using that test bank would not constitute cheating. Since the prof wasn't forthright in stating that he would use the publisher's test bank, he has no right to complain that students used it to study.
So, they're going to stop telling Africans that condoms cause AIDS now, are they? I wonder if they'll mention how many have died by listening to their previous advice?
Maybe, maybe not. We just wrote a big app (enstore.com) on top of it without too much problems. It's another way of thinking, but I actually started to like a restrictive datastore with very consistent characteristics. Now if they only can get it up to speed again (http://bit.ly/as4sij) :-)
Actually, nowadays, you know game designers, more than actual programmers, at least for the big industry. You know the programmers for most indie games, though (but there they are often designers themselves).

Besides, true that you don't really know the "big shot programmer" in games anymore, mostly because there is not anymore one programmer, you see a full team creating an engine. so they blend in the product.

About Carmack and Romero, I guess it also helped that Romero made a fool of himself after the "breakup".
The moon is named for the mythological consort of Jupiter, which has always been "Europa" in English.
On what grounds should that patent not have been granted?

Seems like a pretty normal patent to me. Technology doesn't have to be likable, a good design, or even functional to be patented.
Looks like an expansion opportunity for Atrium.
It exists. One example is called Rocket Lawyer.
A few really need it; most don't. Their managers and executives put their own desires ahead of the best interests of the organization, and what they desire is to have their ego stroked.
One person has a barking dog, the next a screaming child, the next a jackhammer. Several people have no headphones, so there’s brutal echo cancellation. Someone else is on Bluetooth, so there’s half a second latency. At least three are connected by potato.

Each word exchanged with a remote team is excruciating. I cannot imagine smalltalk or banter ever being a reasonable thing to do on Zoom.
I know this is rust and has its own query engine and it is pretty cool, but makes me wonder how much can be done with:

1) dump filesystem (or some other data schema generation) metadata into sqllite
2) pass query to sqllite
3) pass sqllite response to stdout

and it would still be faster than the adhoc query engines like this.
Serfs were not paid for their homes, and in many cases were not allowed to stay in their homes. How does this resemble feudalism?
I believe that the Cray-2 used 3M fluids (flourinert) for liquid immersion cooling when it was introduced in 1985. It was in several data centers including one at Lawrence Livermore Labs. It was not something invented by crypto currency miners or Microsoft. Get your facts straight Microsoft.

Title was a little clickbaity but the solution and conclusions are how I have run standups and I can't see any other way than forms of walking the board, unblocking, & working to solutions in real time.

We also have come up with a form of this called Library Time where we stay on one feature as a team for 2 hours. No outside interruptions. We hone in on architecture or bug bashing and solve it together as a team distributed.
For web stuff and just generally using mobile phones as "dumb" computing devices I agree. However there are other examples where computing on the phone makes more sense than computing in the cloud:

A) Whenever data volume is large and it would take forever to shove it up to some server.

B) Whenever offline service availability is crucial (i.e. you don't want to be dependent on network service availability)

C) Whenever you want to be in control over where your data ends up.

For example Computer Vision is an instance where these criteria are usually met.
Thanks for this post. I myself have a small app that I am thinking whether to publish as GPL or other licenses (MIT or Apache). But I am worried about some shady users who would rather distribute the binaries without the source.

I would react the same. At least, before other users change my own code or even profit from it, they should try to contact me. But MIT license does not oblige users to disclose the source. Nothing against MIT license, but it's somehow not a good fit for stuff that don't require the full source in order to run.

Why not release a new version, and publish it as GPL? That would be clearly a violation if they accept bids on Elance like that. Or try dual licensing.
There is a great urban legend based on that premise that regularly catches out the media.

The style guide is surely longer when using a toolset with fewer conventions?

If I'm using Backbone over Ember, my style guide has to cover things that would be covered by Ember's own docs, for example how to compose views, how to do nested routing, how to represent computed properties ...

Your longer style guide is defining code patterns for those use-cases. Your longer style guide is a framework, just more verbose because you aren't actually abstracting away those patterns.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again- Google needs to be laser focused on improving search result quality.

I have mixed feelings about this.

It's good because you gain an ability to scope your monkey patches.

It's bad because it incentivizes monkey-patches.
In the wake of the dotcom crash the Fed was forced to lower the cash rate to 1%. Cheap and easy money was a huge contributing factor in creating the subprime disaster.

Now the rate is 0%. This can end no other way than badly.

The words "too big to fail" should send a chill down your spine. Wall street as it stands now has absolutely no aversion to risk because if everything goes pear-shaped the Fed will probably bail them out.

I call this welfare for investment bankers. And it's a terrible, terrible idea.

Anyway, back to VC, we already see the early signs of a bubble: a system awash with cash, high seed valuations, some fairly dubious enterprises being funded, etc.

We all know how this song ends. At some point the house of cards will fall.some companies, VCs and investors will go under. Money will tighten up. Some real businesses will get caught in the crossfire and die. Valuations will go down. Companies won't get funding as a result (we've already seen this with companies seeking funding with 2007/2008 valuations; Mark Suster has written about this).

Oh and the other consequence of that collapse is that it will be a great time to start a business as talent will be much cheaper.
The biggest mystery to me is how he can threaten people with violence, repeatedly and in a documented fashion, and not be locked up. The system has failed here.
Actually, there is such a concept as usernames on 4chan. I forget what they call them, but using a special syntax in the username field that includes a password of your choosing, the resulting post will look slightly different and have a hash next to your username that will always be the same for all of your posts. Of course, it's completely optional and most users opt for anonymity.
No I do not, as I have not studied IPA. In this case, unless you know IPA explictly, it's misleading. 'dei' would seem to be 'dai' but the segment is pronounced 'day'. 'əs' and 'nə' seem to repeat the ə character but the sound it makes is different in different parts - 'uhs' versus the higher pitched noise in 'na'.

Meh, don't get too hung up on the supposed perks. I have sufficiently high karma to downvote but have been banned from doing so, presumably because I downvoted one of pg's friends or something like that.

Why is is so important to know wether this bug was left deliberately or not, or even sneaked in by the NSA?

To the more important questions 'Did the NSA almost immediately discover this bug' and 'Did they exploit it', I answer with a resounding yes.
One of the more interesting things about factories is that a facility that has a robots doesn't guarantee high throughput. If the robot can work 10 times faster than the rest of the line does that mean it is mostly idle or does it work on multiple lines or do you have a wip queue somewhere and then you have more work moving stuff from the robot to inventory etc and lastly the great thing about humans over robots is that we are much more flexible and can try new things sooner to see if they work better. I wouldn't be surprised if there are stories of factories that got robots and their metrics went down.
Even better, Chrome's developer options allows you to right click in the HAR and do a "Copy as CURL" which includes all the bells and whistles (headers, cookies) to throw it into terminal and start hacking away.
Too many people view major, rival parties as opponents. Are they waiting for Democrats to imprison Republicans and vice versa? Those parties are brothers. The opposition includes the names you listed and because they don't have that glossy marketed façade and brand, they're viewed by the majority as crazed or rogues.

Speaking as an engineer, there is great value in being imprecise.

Think of it as a shallow search. When we start a conversation, I first want you to be overview-y and high-level. Then I will (or you will) steer the conversation into the direction where more detail is required.

Wouldn't want a conversation polluted with unnecessary detail. It would drag on forever and bore even the most engineering of minds ... but damn it would be precise!
That's extremely pleasing -thank you :)

Both the Chrome and Opera versions did for me, and quite recently too: only switched on Chrome about a month ago at most, and I've only even had Opera installed for about a week.
I could be wrong, but I think part of the reason electric kettles haven't caught on big in the US is the lower voltage. One of the first things that caught my attention over here (Northern Ireland) was that the kettles boil so fast. It's incredibly convient.
I find it pretty cool that snippets of information passed down from my ancestors encoded in my DNA can be synthesised into physical objects, find their way into somebody else's body and permanently write themselves into their DNA. We're all infectious!

Some of those bits of information might even turn out to be useful, millions of years down the line. In fact, they probably are, which is why this mechanism has stayed in our genome despite all the unpleasant side-effects. We share genetic information outside of reproduction, just like bacteria do!
Paul Graham congratulated AppJets in this post: http://ycombinator.posterous.com/congratulations-appjets.

What got my attention was the "all-Javascript application platform" that the AppJets didn't know they were building.

We are building a stack of web apps for small businesses, not small apps. Unlike other cloud computing/database software/marketplaces out there, we provide our external developers with a really great platform.

Our primary target will always be the end users. Look at Form Creator, an app developed in record time that rivals pricy commercial web services!

We are building apps that customers will be willing to pay for. If a JS Rails will emerge from our own endeavor, even better; but we are not writing a framework.

We also don't stretch too far with the hosting infrastructure. Erbix will serve its purpose: web apps for small businesses.

The scariest thing about this, to me, was seeing how people not even in the scanner were picked up.

I suppose it's to be expected, since it isn't exactly shielded in the way you'd expect it to be, but if this thing is just spewing radiation all over the place, I can't imagine what's going to become of the people that actually work near it all day long.

My privacy is one thing, and I do a good deal to avoid the Backscatters, but this is potentially an actual life and death situation that people may not have even considered, or worse, that is drowned out by all the discussion about our freedoms.
DM was nowhere near stable during the original development of ARel.

O/R Mappers are difficult. The more ambitious, the more difficult, and DM is very ambitious. ;-)

I can say it had absolutely nothing to do with ego. There was a actually a point ARel was seriously considered as the basis for the DM query API.

Are there are actual user-facing issues occurring every night? That sounds extremely bad and unusual.
It is a big weakness, that the companies cannot be force to state if they are acting as a platform or as a publisher.

I think companies are way too power full right now, and the ability to shift position, sometimes they are a platform and sometimes a publisher.
Companies should not be allowed to "shift" depending on how asks the question.
I think a normal human would be forced to answer (in court), if they said different answer to different people.
But these companies get away with it.

Much of the conditions that has helped shape the current situation might shaping new efforts as well..

Support and client questions etc will probably be avoid as much as possible.
Example do NOT explain why a BAN was issued, give as little chance to appeal as possible, and avoid all discussions about why something was done.
Just say that they broke a rule, do not mention what rules or where in the text / video the "crime" was committed.

Appeal process is very expensive, and if a company gave reason for example when they did a BAN that would sometime cause the banned person to appeal.
If they stated why, a person in USA could appeal using the common justice system and perhaps claim in-justice, or lying
(I guess a person might have a chance if the company did not apply its rule consistently, or if they could prove a lie)

If they can avoid to given any reason for it, there is no way they will keep any rules well defined, it gives them much more power if the rules could be flexed a bit.

I think the "common justice system" with defender, accuser and judge would be much better.
A court also has to keep record of decisions and reasons.
But I think no company would do that, it would limit their control/power and probably be expensive as well.

I still think the companies have a bit too much power, and in a way wonder if they could be forced to solve "justice" better than now.
Can add more anecdata. Joined a regional credit union, moved across the country.

I can use the ATMs of the regional credit union in the new area for free if I need an ATM, and my original credit union has been more than happy to facilitate everything else I need via phone and email. And the "phone" agents are literally just the same staff I'd be talking to at the branch I opened the account at, not some call centre, so there's no real need to go in to actually get customer service.

On top of that, the accounts are completely free. I pay $0/mo for a handful of accounts (one for general monthly bills, one linked to my debit card, another for savings, etc) with unlimited transactions/transfers/etc.

The _only_ thing I'm missing is the ability to deposit cash. Which has yet to be any sort of issue for me.
