A bit disappointing that the article doesn't discuss gender at all and whether making Fortnite, which is 75% male players, a key part of company culture ends of making it hard for women to get promoted, be recognized, etc.

Alienation I buy, but it seems unlikely it would be the most important factor.

Emotional maturity (or lack thereof) is what I'd normally attribute it to, but I'm not quite sure how that develops. Is it truly purely a learned trait? If so, I'd agree with you that would be the biggest stumbling block. I thought of it myself, but discounted it.
Won't load for me. DDoS by Konami Code?
not just no, but hell no.

it's not like a vps I have control over is expensive enough to justify the risk of exposing data to an unknown party.
In terms of tax, I believe I can be offered "founder's shares", ie shares that have no value (from the taxman's perspective) that vests over a period. Therefore, my income tax for receiving stocks should be minimal. Canada has a 750k tax exemption from capital gain from owning small businesses so tax is not my top worry if it is done properly
Github actually offers support for svn, in a way - see http://help.github.com/svn-importing/ for a bit more info.

It is also possible to use git on top of svn - see http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-svn.html
I tried doing some testing a while back but PG didn't appreciate it.
Drudge Report was almost literally one single page of static html. I would say it shook up the news industry.
Right now, probably writing iPhone/iPad apps.
Whether it's folly or not, could you imagine if he tried to run for President? Last I heard they kick you out of the running if you ever got detention.
When I worked in Norway I forgot to ask for my tax return to be produced in English (since I spoke no Norwegian.) It was still easier to complete than the US one.
That's all well and good, but Bitcoin is the de facto cryptocurrency - the one everyone has heard of, and still the most popular.
Thanks! The frontend is written in javascript, and uses angular. Design is based on bootstrap. Frontpage is a modified template, rest is custom.
They don't do it out of weakness, they do it for power and control.
It's centralized, not distributed. You are at the whim of dropbox. This is not a successor to torrents at all.
truly a work that never ends.

I started my indie game 4 months ago, and i'm still adding a few touches here and there. Guess it's a creator's bane.

The problem is not so much Facebook/Reddit, but because I don't have a low commitment way to take a break.

I don't need an app that tells me not to spend my time productively. I need an app that helps me recuperate in 20 minutes. A non-addictive game would be great.

Why does this article keep resurfacing everywhere? I've seen it on /r/technology multiple times. I refuse to believe it. Chrome has to have the most telemetry: it is produced by an ad company after all. Of all organizations maintaining major browsers, Google is the most incentivized to collect data. Follow the money.
It's not really ironic on either side. The US is well aware of its healthcare issues. The damage from the pandemic will not be due to a failing healthcare system, but the fallout from much of the economy hitting the pause button for weeks if not months.
We worked hard and we worked well together. We did whatever it took to succeed. Sometimes that meant working 20 hours days on some global supply chain project. I worked with a lot of really great people and a lot of terrific engineers. Best users I've ever had.
This is playing out currently, quite openly, as the FTC investigates whether companies have raised prices more than costs have risen from inflation. It's becoming increasingly clear that the academic economic consensus is, simply, disconnected from how markets actually operate. For instance, while each day has brought a new study of consolidated companies engaging in pandemic price gouging, academic establishment luminaries like Larry Summers continue to argue that antitrust is unrelated to inflation.

We're in a true "Emperor's new clothes" moment.
The inevitable result of Location Based Pay and all-remote workforce’s will look an awful lot like offshoring at many companies. Why wouldn’t it?
IANAL, but the way I understand it is that the way they get around that is by making the violation a civil penalty, not a criminal offense. You can fight it and maybe get a "hearing" but really would have to go out of your way to get an actual judge involved.

Good news, doesn't affect your driving record. Bad news, everything else that is wrong with it on every level still applies.
When you have a broad range of news sources and you can compare them over a longish period, you start to see patterns and biases.

Reuters was one of the most surprising, for me, losses of trust. I always had Reuters 'way up there' in truthfulness, but I was forced to change my mind. These days, they stick to Establishment points of view, not necessarily the truth.
exactly how I used this. I was making a pacman MMO over websockets.

The law already strongly protects cops who make mistakes.

To continue the malpractice analogy a doctor who failed to order a test that ought to have been ordered given the patients symptoms and fails to diagnose a condition leading to the patients preventable death would be a victim of malpractice.

The current and suggested practice is for the government to provide what amounts to errors and omissions coverage similar to professional liability insurance to all police officers.

What isn't normally covered by malpractice insurance is reckless, illegal, or intentional acts.

https://equotemd.com/blog/common-exclusions-for-medical-malp...

I'm saying that cops ought to be legally liable for the classes of acts that wouldn't normally be covered by professional insurance. Planting drugs, recklessly shooting someone without ensuring that they actually have a gun not a cell phone in their hand, assaulting someone because you can.

Hey how about using a flimsy pretext to search someone's anus for drugs!

All things that haven happened in recent years!

Reckless or illegal acts are almost certainly uninsurable at any reasonable price because protection for such acts would ultimately be very expensive because in a world where your union keeps you from being held accountable and the law keeps you from being sued personally people would do them.

Malpractice insurance for cops would probably be overkill for actually reasonable mistakes and amount to enriching insurers while it would be useless to solve more serious issues.

It is an interesting solution searching for a viable problem.
>Yes, but he is poor at challenging his guests and I think that is a valuable part of a good interview.

The biggest part of a "good interview" is getting the guest to say "yes" to being interviewed.

The issue that people overlook with "challenging questions" is that the guest must agree to be interviewed in the first place. If the interview is denied, then the "lack of challenging questions" is a moot point because the guest never made himself/herself available to be made uncomfortable.

In other words, let's say Lex starts out of the gate 3 years ago with a hard-hitting style. This instantly increases his rejection rate and decreases his guest count. Then later guests he tries to pitch to also look at those previous challenging interviews which is distasteful to them and they also decline the invitations creating a snowball effect.

You can't replay history with (as of today) 160 podcasts and say they should have been more challenging -- because we wouldn't even have the 160 podcasts to complain about.

Yes, journalists like Kara Swisher like to challenge/ambush/provoke/etc their guests but not everybody wants to be interviewed by her. See the chicken & egg issue?

Lex isn't poor at challenging questions. In reality, he's building a body of work that solidifies his reputation for interviews in a friendly conversational style that doesn't threaten the guest. This reputation attracts many types of guests that a bigger journalist like Kara Swisher can't get.
The benefits to practicing one-pointed focus alone are worth it to me. Honing ones concentration skills come in handy for many things, such as woodworking, visualizing code flow, and dealing with A.D.D.
Forget the tip, why did you pay? I would have taken the price he originally wanted, cut it in half because of the screw up and gave him a choice of that or nothing.

>> "Why are we all required to give 20% tips even when the service sucks?"

You're not, you should have said no.
Thanks, read this once in (I believe) Freakonomics (regarding protective tariffs on sugar in the US), but did not get the connection. Your comment opened my eyes - so thanks a lot for putting my thoughts on the right track.
>>> I'm just not sure you can teach these things to a junior programmer, and actually expect to see results

You can't expect to teach them and see results immediately. But teaching them (and supervising / reviewing code) would certainly help to make the learning period shorter.

Strange... should be changed...
WebRTC is peer-to-peer - two people can transfer data between their browsers without anything hitting a 3rd party server. (You still need a server to broker connections, but that's all.)

WebRTC isn't supported on IE or Safari though, so it's kind of redundant for anything but experiments at the moment.
I've been holding off on the 5.0.1 update due to laziness, looks like that was a good thing.
I believe the "Payment Protocol" is supposed to help solve this. Look up BIP 0070 if you're interesdted.
Every insurance policy I've ever had has stipulated that if a generic is available, the insurance will not pay 100% for the brand name drug. Wouldn't that be enough to keep generics in business?

Nokia/HERE (Formerly Navteq) — Chicago

As an organization, we have a long history with map data. Now we’re looking at interesting ways to use it to change driving. Cars of the future (and present) have onboard computers, tons of sensors, and internet connections over the cell network. If you could hook that up to our map data, you could do some really cool things.

To see what we’re up to, check out http://360.here.com/tag/connected-driving/

We’re looking for strong Java developers to make this happen. Experience with AWS, apache storm, stream processing or high volume, low-latency applications are all plusses.

We're also looking for strong SDETs.

The things I’ve enjoyed most since starting here a few months ago:

- Interesting problem space

- Interesting tech stack

- I get to wear sandals to work (I chose to not take advantage of this particular perk today)

- Team running group that goes for a run together every Wednesday morning before lunch (weather permitting)

- Company gym

- Quickly-growing team

- Good medical insurance coverage

- Starting a lunch time study group (with lunch provided by the company!)

> Copyright? I'm not aware of any general problem with that. It's pretty simple, the original author has a period of protection for their work. What's wrong with that?

The Mickey Mouse Protection Act is a huge problem. In a nutshell, every time a large company's copyrights are about to expire, they pay Congress to extend them for another period of time.
"I'd also question whether maps are a good example either since a map[string]interface{} would be incompatible with a map[int]interface{}"

The map is what is generic, not a specific map. List<Int> is not "compatible" with a List<Char> in any implementation of generics; how could it be? What would that even mean?

There isn't a good way of taking a "map", just any "map", but that's a separate problem. Not all languages that have generics can do that, either, only some of them.

(A recurring issue in these discussions about Go is that people end up bringing the union of all possible things that generics have ever done, anywhere, to the party, but in reality no language actually has all of those features at once. Real generic implementations, when not being discussed in the context of Go, are usually being discussed in how they are broken. This is what ultimately brought me peace in this argument... in the abstract, it's totally obvious that Go ought to have generics. In the concrete it's a great deal less obvious, and real implementations all do indeed have their serious problems once you get down to the nitty-gritty of what assembly instructions they would actually execute, and exactly how the compiler would produce them. It's all fun and games when you're just waving hands around.)

interface{} isn't a "generic" in any sense.
Not only that, but there are fundamental limitations of the protocol as it exists right now which will cause BitCoin to fail if it does not change. For example, blocks can only contain 1 MB worth of transactions. That works out to ~3,000 transactions every ten minutes, or about 5 per second. By comparison, Visa does about 8,000/second.

Hi Tom A, Danish here :) Good luck and all the best!
I remember this being a massive deal in the marketing for MSIE 4, alongside the Active Desktop, also an idea more than a decade ahead of its time.
I think "tl;dr"s always get downmodded to oblivion.
Well, none of the publication titles on this page contain the word "surveillance". I was able to find an interview (https://medium.com/ethics-models/interview-with-dr-alex-hann...) where she says we're "embedded in a system of racial surveillance capitalism", but doesn't really discuss it or mention any specific times when bad AI caused people to be wrongly surveilled. If you know of any specific explanation that she's provided, I'd be interested to read it.

But the most likely explanation IMO is that Hanna isn't using the term "surveillance" as a pointer to any concrete idea about what will go wrong. It seems to be just an all-purpose explanation for why AI models need to respect her sensibilities.
Rust so far does not cover all architectures that C can reach. When the GCC implementation is ready, it might change, but not yet.
The problem is that not only is there zero appetite to phase out housing-as-investment boosting policies like the mortgage interest deduction, imputed rent exemption, and cap gains exemption at the federal level, en vogue affordable housing strategies have focused on keeping interest rates low, providing 1st time home-buyer tax credits, and strengthening fair lending regulations.

The U.S.(western nations with high housing costs really) are drunk on the housing-as-investment model, and zoning increases and / or social housing positive policies will always take a back seat when speculative profits are involved.
The fed certainly generates new dollars.

Tezos and Cardano are the top two cryptocurrencies that don't use this model at all. They use proof of stake, which doesn't consume any significant amount of electricity.

Also, the vast majority of the electricity being consumed for bitcoin mining is hydro in China and has nothing to do with climate change.

Also, equating bitcoin to cryptocurrency isn't accurate at all. There are hundreds of others.
The public matrix rooms at FOSDEM were bridged to irc. This was not by accident.

We tried to give visitors the freedom to use their preferred tools to join FOSDEM.

Whether you were using matrix with the latest Chromium or irssi in a tmux session on OpenBSD, you were able to speak to people at the conference.

Same for the streaming. Inside the matrix channel would have worked, but mpv on some framebuffer without X or wayland too...
> Joel unfortunately completely misses the point of why C and Java suck at this stuff: you can use functions as values in them (anonymous inner classes in Java) but they aren't closures

I don't at all think he completely misses the point.

First, anonymous inner classes do capture their lexical environment, and you can access outer variables provided they are declared as final.

Second, even if closures allow another bunch of programming techniques, and even if they seem a natural way of programming with anonymous functions, they are not needed for everything related to being able to pass functions as arguments, at all. Notably, every example joel has given in his article doesn't rely on functions capturing their outer lexical environnment. mapping an add function to an array doesn't, and is still a very useful programming technique.

Admitedly though, i really prefer my languages to support full lexical scoping and closures. But i don't think the article was about that, and i feel more like you missed what joel had to say because you think joel should have introduced the full notion of what a first class function is.

There isn't nearly enough time to read a even a fraction of the information published that is (more or less) carefully selected, analzyed, vetted, and explicated in papers.

Nobody has time to trawl through random junk that people will upload to the internet. Moreover, if one is proposing to run an archive, it needs to have serious long-term funding to prevent data from from being lost. Even the NCBI has trouble maintaining funding for projects like the Sequence Read Archive.
As I understand it, the US dollar's status as the human race's reserve currency is based on the fact that the US is perceived as always paying it's debts. If they default, countries and banks around the world will suddenly change their reserves into euros, plunging the value of the dollar.

Take all that with a handful of salt though.

I'm saying it's the reality of an emerging "economic war" between China and the US. In the article, Kenneth Rogoff (http://www.economics.harvard.edu/faculty/rogoff/), a Harvard economics professor and former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, says "A weak dollar isn’t necessarily a bad thing -- it can make the United States more competitive, bolster exports and help domestic companies that are vying against imported goods here in the United States."

The article goes on to say, "[Devaluing the dollar] effectively would be playing the China card against China in a battle for manufacturing jobs...Many fund managers say the only way out of that box is a weaker dollar, reducing the value of the massive amount of U.S. debt held by foreigners and increasing the value of American investments abroad, such as Buffett’s.

"'Countries like the United States do race to the bottom,' said Gross (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_H._Gross), though he added that Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner would never say so. A weaker currency 'makes them more competitive and reduces the burden of debt,' Gross added. Americans own about half of the outstanding federal debt, but Gross said the rest is owed 'as Tennessee Williams would say, to strangers, outside the U.S. If the United States can devalue the value of those dollars that they owe, then all the better.'"

I've had this tried on me before, in Chicago where we're supposed to have super strict taxi laws. The correct response is to dial 911, not 311, and say you've got a taxi attempting to rob you. Notice next time you walk across an intersection at a stop sign, who comes to a complete stop more.. the average driver, or a taxi cab. Taxi's fear police way more than the average driver.

Independent of other trends, I am of the opinion that patent applications will reduce as a function of the digital transformation and the speed of technology turnover. Software startups, including university-based startups, aren’t filing patents because they are not valuable, they expose too much and they are generally not successful.
Yeah I'm not sure, they might have scraped other info too e.g. GitHub. Frankly I think it's kind of silly to categorize this as a "breach" when all the data was publicly available. And if you're trying to hide your email, you're fighting a losing battle already. Best to just assume your email is public knowledge.

I think that is a terrible idea because it does nothing to address the real problem - economic growth being largely captured by ultra rich people. Sure everyone who is invested in stock market will be richer, but people who need most help are not buying stocks.

Taxation is hard, so far Sam Altman's capital tax is least worst option I've heard: https://moores.samaltman.com/ . It does have it's deficiencies... It's wealth redistribution, it might slow down or even completely stunt economic growth, and given current political climate and corruption and is highly unlikely to be implemented. At the same time humanitarian value alone it would bring is so astronomical that I believe we must try it. It would also greatly expand middle class which should boost the economy long term.
Is it possible to filter by rep? Is there any information about subcommittee membership as well? I know I can probably find the latter info somewhere, but it would be a nice-to-have here.
Yes. But there's one railroad line that goes through North Platte. There once were ~38 railroad lines into Chicago. Some are no longer in service (at least as through lines), but Chicago is still far more widely served than North Platte.
