It's natural to show people code as an example, which not write like that in practice? What's the example for then? Is there a disclaimer following, saying thaT the code is not how you would write it and mentioning all the things you would do differently?

Same thing with paywalled news. I wish Google would remove "walled content" by default.
I've seen this sort of comment frequently: "it's 2019, why are we still doing n?", as if somehow it should be assumed we have grown out of it.

It's a completely unsubstantiative argument; its effect is to sweep under the rug any justification for the 'old way' of doing things.
>>there are several contenders these days that I would say might fit those criteria

Even if you get the basic 'Batteries Included' part right, you still won't match up ubiquity in terms of being able to hire developers(in big numbers), common knowledge base, maintainability of code bases. Java code bases tend to be around for long. And people of all skill levels can get started with minimal handholding.

Also note not all companies have the revenue streams of top internet companies. And they can't afford to flush hundreds of millions of dollars, and man years of personnel time down the sewers to arrive at hiring the perfect candidate for the job. Almost always most companies need candidates who can get job done, for whatever salary they can offer. And they can't afford to rewrite their code every two years, so they care deeply about things like easy hiring, and code maintainability on the longer run.

Apart from these things Java itself is a great piece of tech, and has passed the test of time over so many technology trends.

If you are starting a backend project, Java is more or less the best and the top tech choice at this point, and has been for long now.
I find I have a pretty stable need for a certain amount of unfocused, low-energy time. Social media and other "junk food" activities are just ways to fill it.

They can and should be replaced by more effective forms of rest (meditation, sleep, walking, etc) but intellectual work just isn't happening in that state. Or if it does, it leads to a harder crash later.

I have to roll my eyes a little at the "produce X% more by working through your breaks" thing. If you can do that sustainably, why were you taking breaks to begin with?

>Since there's no proof of this "positive", this claim sits in doubt.

...and since there's no proof of his story, his story sits in doubt. Right?

Is that the modus operandi?

I was commenting under the assumption that his experiences were conveyed truthfully and that the explosive alert actually happened and wasn't bogus.

Is there reason for me to automatically doubt the sincerity of those who tested him?

Is there reason to believe that they didn't want to tell him what exactly the machine told them because they were lying to him? Or is it a more reasonable explanation that they're not allowed to?

Racial profiling is bad. They acted differently towards him than they'd do to other people, but that doesn't mean we have to ignore everything and assume that every single person there was out to get him and put an innocent person through hell.
I've set off the explosive detector a couple times. I don't take anything but lisinopril and OTC allergy meds. Each incident took 3-5 minutes to resolve, and did not involve any questions not directly related to the screening process. I have no idea what set it off, and as far as I know, neither did the TSA.

Apart from those two times, I've been the focus of TSA attention for more than a few seconds on exactly two other occasions. One was when the x-ray tech was confused by the small flatbed scanner in my carryon, and the other was the day I had to fly with expired ID.

Again, neither occasion took more than about five minutes, and again, they asked me no questions not directly related to the screening process itself.

Also, about half the time I travel on one-way tickets, often between points that my ID does not reflect an address for. I've travelled while tired, I've travelled while stressed/nervous, I've travelled with my hair and beard at every conceivable length/combination, including long beard, short hair, and a completely shaved head.

But I'm white and have a completely Anglo name.
No, it was the TSA - but Amtrak has dictated exactly how they must behave in stations, and you rarely hear a peep from them.

By coincidence I was watching again the "Don't talk to the police" video on youtube.

> Why is it "good" to change your password periodically?

That depends on what it's being used for. Changing your password on systems you own (and monitor) might not be necessary if they're 'good enough', although if you can ditch passwords entirely that's much better (e.g. using One Time Pads, Public Key auth etc.)

From a compliance perspective forcing people to periodically change passwords in theory means that while a certain amount of users will have insecure passwords, that over time this will change or rotate at least. In practice it doesn't generally work that way but COBIT tells us to do it anyway so we tick the box.

If you don't own the system then you can't assume that the system hasn't been owned, so periodically changing passwords is seen to be a good thing(tm) as it stops people from having persistent access to your stuff. Again, real world deviates significantly on theory on this, but YMMV.

The frequent changes don't necessarily create weaker passwords, they do disrupt password guessing slightly. For example, imagine organisation foo has a password policy requiring monthly changes. The default password is welcome1, so inevitably people change it to welcome2, welcome10 etc.

Once I've got the hashes I see that I'm pulling off a lot of welcome1s, and welcome2 works as well. I do have to do some work to get the rest of the welcome<nn> and welcome<nnn> but on the whole it's fine, except for the guy that chooses a password that doesn't fit the common password ('that guy' with welcome1welcome2welcome as his password in this case). So it doesn't have a significantly measurable effect for all people, but may have for some. Yeah, it's still a load of rubbish though :)

If the password is sufficiently complex then the keychain solution should work and changing it is unlikely to have any statistical effect unless someone's doing a very slow and long winded sequential brute force (in which case changing a password to earlier in the sequence may help, but that would require a priori knowledge of the sequence and position and is impractical). With the keychain solution the only measurable difference would be that the resulting password would be better, worse or the same in terms of complexity and length tradeoff, but that's down to the algorithm.

> It seems fairly obvious to me (though perhaps not to others) that Khosla is in the right here. The private land is his. He can do what he wants with it.

You and Khosla are both wrong. If an area is designated public land, you cannot de facto prevent all access by buying up all the land around it and refusing to provide any point of entry; you must provide an easement (and you can even charge a small fee for it, if you want). This is a very well-established bit of property law, and Khosla is only weaseling out of it on technicalities.

Part of the answer is languages have very different properties.

Which in say Stan, might be a complete application, and a month's work, spent mostly wrestling with domain math and algorithm performance.

Versus in say stereotyped industry Java, where it might be a day's work, doing a bit of boilerplate, design patterns, and api plumbing.

Autocomplete is important if it's common to see api names of length 40. Less so if a Haskell-ish 4 is common, and 12 less so.

I wonder if there's an opportunity to better convey the feel of working in various languages and environments. With so many live coding youtube videos, perhaps one could extract gif animations, to illustrate and weave into cross-language stories of best practices and inspiring expertise, of nifty tooling and UX concepts. For some better professional onboarding story than "use a diversity of languages and environments, each for some months or years, and you'll eventually develop a feel for what's possible, for what they each do well".

Much of it depends on the room you’re in currently.
In theory NAT provides no security. In practice it does.

The way common household NAT works is you have hosts on a private IP space behind a NAT device with an ephemeral internal IP/port table. When an internal device initiates a connection outward the NAT device takes a note of the IP address and port it is connecting to and writes them to the table, along with its own port mapping.

When a packet arrives addressed to the NAT device it checks the table and if it finds a matching entry it rewrites the packet and forwards it back to the original host.

So someone attempting to make a new connection to an internal host is effectively firewalled off by the lack of a mapping table.

Now most people who say "NAT isn't a firewall" are referring to the case where you have for some reason turned off the default firewall rules on the NAT device and have somehow routed a packet with a destination address that is on your internal network. In this case, the NAT will just forward the packet onto your internal host and provide no protection as they say. However, it ignores the difficulty of getting your ISP to route an RFC 1918 address to your NAT device in the first place. The very fact that your internal hosts are on non-routeable addresses is a form of protection provided by NAT.
Depression has plenty of evidence

That would be interesting. What makes you think so? Any studies you can link to?
The company doesn’t feel it has gone as well as you do or they would be in touch quickly. Most likely, they want to interview other candidates. They aren’t ghosting you but I bet they will take a month or two before they tell you they are moving forward with other candidates. It’s a weird system used by bad companies.

That or the recruiter already placed another candidate or left the firm. Two weeks is a long time.
Neat tidbit that I learned while working on dark mode at my company. Don't use true black. It looks amazing on OLED screens at rest but it results in a weird sluggish appearance when scrolling. This is because there is a lag time between pixels going from off to on.

The material team at Google made a blog post about it which I recommend going through: https://material.io/design/color/dark-theme.html

The quote around the OLED: "On OLED screens, turning pixels on and off can cause a delay when the screen is scrolled, making the pixels blur."

As an example, the facebook messenger app uses a true black background and the delay is _very_ noticeable.
At first glance this just looks like a Backbone wrapper.

You appear to be correct- my remark was based on what I guess is out of date experience.

I think this actually depends on the situation. If you eat in a restaurant you'll probably get salad first because there is no cooking time involved. If you eat at a Europeans house you'll probably eat the main course first because you all eat together and you don't want the hot stuff to get cold.

I think how it's done has to do with practicality, not any insight on good eating practice.

Not to defend her, but when your typical blog author finds out that something he wrote got published, his response is one of pleasure. This "editor" is wrong on all counts, but from her perspective, the response of the blogger is highly unusual.

Clothing in general has become much cheaper, though. I can buy a new pair of jeans for an hours' labour at UK minimum wage. A t-shirt for 1/3 of that.

A more relevant example than income, would be comparing the differential between casual clothing and formal clothing.

One thing that always strikes me is that this clothing looks to be extremely high quality compared to what is on offer today (except perhaps at the high end). Some of those coats look fit to last a lifetime.
You suppose that banning discussion of 8chan actually drove adoption of 8chan, which might be true. Was that really what moot was banking on though? That seems like an unlikely bet.

If I were moot and if I had wanted to get rid of these people, I would have flat out told them to go to 8chan. The "really toxic GamerGaters on twitter" likely comprise a minority of the people I would want to get rid of (I assume in all movements there is a silent majority. Most people who think something are too lazy to actually go out and talk about it), and the common mode of communication between all people who use my hypothetical site is my site.
Looks interesting.

Some feedback for whoever is writing the docs:

The first thing I always look for in the docs for a python project is: Was this developed for python3, which was first released in 2008? If not, I'd like to at least see a requirements section.

I'm aware I could figure this out by digging through the code. Just saying the docs should also mention it.

Literally none of the hard problems in forming a union are technical. I can't stress this enough—the hard problems in organizing are much squishier and amorphous.

You're trying to get a majority of people to feel like they have a personal stake in improving the material conditions of others. It's not quorum algorithms, it's not apps, it's not encrypted communication platforms. The hard part is organizing people.
Ah ok didn't make that connection.
I too enjoy the economist. Their level-headed style and combination of numeracy and humanism are welcome in an often dogmatic and sensationalist media climate.

The tools that you describe are how all news should be written! The inverted pyramid of information -- broad but important bits at the top, details at the bottom -- is a structure I remember from my high school newspaper class.

I do want to point out that there's a fine line between using precise words and being intelligible to the public. "Traduced," as you introduce in example, isn't a common word where I'm from, and could be expressed in other ways (slandered, defamed, maligned) that are in more common circulation. A case of 'know thine audience' I suppose.
FAANG hasn't been innovators for a long time now, closing in on almost half a decade. They started out that way but have moved full bore into politics. Politics is what happens when the rest of society tries to figure out what to do with the innovators inventions, an when orgs don't innovate, they die, usually a pretty violent and shitty death over time.
And now with companies making it easy to make self produced porn, we're going to see even more levels of mental issues in the future when those women realize the mistakes they're making.
In Britain, where food is more expensive than in the US, ignorance about how to eat affordably and well is a shocking poverty trap. Anecdotally, a family getting pizza delivered will be spending almost an order of magnitude more than they would need to by cooking a nutritious meal from easily available basic ingredients; that's fine for a treat, but if you are relying on it regularly to put food in your kids' stomachs it quickly becomes ruinous.
Poverty is relative. Compared to billionaires we all live in poverty. True poverty is not being able to attain food or shelter. Indeed many who are considered fabulously wealthy by neolithic standards are not able to find shelter or are barred from it by society (getting run off by police from public areas, national parks etc).

Define poverty as something than just income from wages. Can you "fix" poverty? Compared to my living standards I know people who I consider living in poverty but to them it is just life and they are used to government help. While a noble or laudable effort, giving them money holds them back.

In general, welfare benefits cement or create a lower class. I think our view of poverty is really just class guilt and fear.

The Miss America pageant makes some grandiose claims about how they're the world's largest source of scholarships for woman -- 45 million in a particular year.

(b) That still made them the largest source of scholarships for women

Makes sense. It's just to me, as someone who knows LOOP that

(loop repeat n
thereis (valid (read-password))
finally (lock-account))

seems simpler than

(do ((i 0 (+ i 1)))
((>= i n) (lock-account))
(when (valid (read-password))
(return t)))

You are definitely right that loop is deceptively complex. In the code I gave, a reader would need to know that thereis skips the epilogue when terminating the loop (I would comment the code if it was going to be seen by others). I'm now finding it incredible how much lingo I used in the last sentence.
If there's a market for this, why doesn't it already exist? You could take your smartphone under your car, and video chat with a mechanic anywhere in the world. The mechanic could even draw arrows or highlight areas on your video in real-time as it's looped back to your display.

Netflix and FAANGs in general can get away with employee unfriendly practices due to the obscene compensation they offer which provides them with an endless stream of talented candidates knocking on their door.

The problem is, I see these practices slowly creeping in European tech companies, but without the glorious compensation to make up for them: i.e. companies wanting to put you through 3-6 rounds of interviews, full-day on-site interviews, leet-coding, long un-paid take home tests, and all this for 40k/year?! How about no thanks and GTFO!
