I realize that it can be hard to understand without having experienced interview anxiety yourself, but it is an entirely different environment.

I suffer from interview anxiety to the same extent as the author of this blog post. Though I am a very skilled developer, I completely freeze in these situations (I even failed a fizz buzz test once). This doesn't translate to difficulty with on-the-job stressful situations however, as my anxiety is only present in interviews.

Most of the anxiety stems from me running through negative thoughts in my head ("I'd REALLY like this job - I'd better not screw up.", "I did poorly on my last interview. I'll probably do poorly this time", "The interviewer can probably see that I'm anxious.", "Does my voice sound shaky?", etc.) to the point where they trigger a fight-or-flight response.
hosted is good but i require the option to easily host it myself (like github pages).

My content is my life and I want it to be around in 40 years. Even if facebook bans my account for a TOS violation where they changed the terms out from under me. Even if google hands my account to law enforcement because another country's government doesn't agree with my free speech.

I need to own my content.
I just set up a new blog using Pelican. My considerations were much like what you've listed. The price point seems right as well. I'm tempted to sign on, but my workflow is holding me back. I've got my Pelican based blog set up so I never have to leave Vim to write/organize/publish. Every other workflow I've tried for blogging has quickly decreased my output to... nil.

It seems to me if I switched to Silvrback I'd have to either use the admin interface to write (I assume it doesn't have Vim keybindings) or copy and paste from Vim.
Everyone I've spoken to who went to Mix11 came out of it feeling better about Silverlight not worse. What I've heard is the message at Mix11 was that Silverlight was being presented as Microsoft's preferred native environment going forward while HTML5 was the preferred web development model.

(Note there were no sessions devoted entirely to Microsoft's current desktop solution WPF)

To that point they reiterated their support for the Mac meaning Silverlight is an environment that can be used for out of browser apps that run on both Mac and PC (much like Adobe AIR).
who the hell is rocco pendola ? Apparently he/she forget their ADD medicine today. This is linkbait bullshit - I read it twice and still have no idea why Mayer is "wrong" for the job. Journalism is a joke.
The parent post was talking about restitution. I was addressing this point.
Great toy, love it cleanly in HTML5 -- casually playing with L-systems the other day, the best apparent tool was this bugged Java applet[0] that didn't render any of the labels for its fields[1].

Suggestions:

- List the syntax it accepts on the page itself

- Add the ability to step through iteration

- Add the ability to scale with each iteration (and maybe change colour)

- Clarify that 'e' means edit -- took me a while to figure out it had any different functionality than the 'x' close (also, perhaps the ability to edit directly in the Rules listing)

[1] Could be an OS X/personal setup issue, as when rarely I encounter Java applets, they seem to have serious issues.
I certainly don't - and even though Facebook fell out of the realm of startup, it just bothered me that that poster was downvoted for their opinion whether slightly offtopic or not.
I did not say what you said is "incendiary", I said it is "borderline incendiary". It's not incendiary since it is true, but it is expressed in such a pythy fashion as to be almost incendiary. Especially when I crafted my original comment to specifically acknowledge those cases.

Between your answer and MaxBarraclough's, one is tonally a quickwitted mean quip and the other is a well articulated and well meaning response.
The American tax system is much more progressive. Median wage earners in Norway don’t pay that much, but as I understand it the top tax bracket kicks in around 1.6 times the average income (under $100,000). In the US, the top tax bracket doesn’t kick in until $518,000 for single people.
Even a cheap thirty year old furnace can do that - it was able to keep my house at 80° during the -40 (no need to specify; they’re the same that low!) last year. I actually intentionally drove it to 80 to give me thermal mass if needed but it turned out not to be necessary.

Burning gas is insanely thermodynamically active.
I have 2 charts running in my office all day. One is energy load and one is energy pricing. I also have the current energy price displayed on a screen in our kitchen.

This has worked to change our habits pretty well. For instance we now consider it “expensive” to run the dishwasher during the day. We’ll do it if necessary but there is now a mental barrier to doing so.
I think for me the figure is about 8 years of development of 1 GUI software, with MVVM and .NET.

Great. As I said before, there are many different architectures that can work well.

None of them were able to reuse much code while switching just the renderer: ActiveX written in C++, Flash in ActionScript.

But if you’re calling that renderer from JavaScript that has already done everything except the rendering, which would be the case with the kind of architecture I was describing if you were just using the plugin for the final rendering layer…

It's the matter how you define them. When you offload playing animations to a framework, you tell the framework which properties to animate and how: define function of time (typically supported ones include step functions, polylines, and Bezier), pass metadata about timing and repeats, etc. That's for the hard case when animations depend on the data, when they do not they're made offline by art people.

Right. But where do you get those data-driven paths from so you can use them as your key frames to drive your animation? That is what is generated in the presentation data layer in this example. No GUI framework can do this for you, because no GUI framework knows the rules of your system for how to lay out a particular diagram and how a transition between states should appear.

Actually moving lines or rotating text or whatever is then little more than an implementation detail, which can be done manually by the presentation layers or handed off to some platform-provided animation system, as the situation dictates.

Your code runs at refresh rate of the monitor, typically 60Hz, but for high-end gaming monitors can be 240Hz. Even if you aren't animating anything, this alone prevents certain power saving modes from engaging.

This seems like such an extreme case that it’s no longer very useful as an example. Who is using a 240Hz high-end gaming monitor, wanting our UI to produce animations that can keep up with that frequency of updates, yet concerned about some unspecified power saving mode not engaging if we do the maths manually when it would have engaged if the work had been delegated to some system service?

If you manually change positions of things not just color, your updates gonna invalidate layout.

We’re talking about immediate mode rendering. What “layout” is there to invalidate?
Two different things. Look again. xxh3 is the new one, xxHash the old one.
As with the other hires on my team I'm thrilled to have Brendan onboard. I would also hope that if he happens to leave Netflix due to issues with the culture he will share that experience as well, publicly.

I am a big fan of webflow after using it for some of our live sites. Great platform! The only thing is that it gets expensive for multiple users
Sometimes when my current project isn't doing well I have dark days where I explore my backup plan.

Thinking about which niche to master and what content marketing to do to pull in $200 an hour, kicking myself for missed opportunities, wishing I'd done things differently so I wouldn't be faced with such an unsavoury prospect as working for someone else...

And then I pinch myself. Because you know what? We have it fucking easy. Other people do real work for a living and make a tenth as much as the potential of most here, and that's just in the same country.

You can't have it both ways. We are overpaid by the same free market that you do hastily criticise, for exactly the same reason our managers and VCs are. You want to complain about them? Then complain about us. We aren't special snowflakes fighting for truth and honour, we are tradesmen settling our services for as much cash as we can get away with. And business is booming.

I like your posts, mainly because nobody else here is really supplying the same viewport, but your tendency to rationalise away an us and them attitude is a bit disturbing to me, like you're arguing from self interest rather than consistent philosophy.
This is defined by the developer actually. And besides there is no problem for a user if he does not know that he can scroll with dragging.
There are other ways to trigger the wipers:

- Half-press the button on the left stalk to trigger the wipers once. Fully press it to do wipers with fluid.

- Press the voice command button (right scroll button on the steering wheel) and say "turn on wipers" or "increase/decrease wiper speed".

It's not as nice as physical controls, but it's much safer than futzing with a touch screen while driving.
You don't have to have ADD to find these things hazardous.

My 1980s Toyota heating controls had separate, independent switches for defrost vents, face vents, floor vents. My friend's US car had weird features like "bi-vent" with a slider switch. You had to look at it. I recently rented a Toyota and sometime since then they'd gone away from the simple controls that feel different and have some spacial analog. You can no longer manipulate any state beyond wipers, turn signal, and radio volume without looking away from the road.

Excuse my ignorance.

The advantage of this tool over 'git clone --depth 1' is that this tool can clone just specific files?
Team leadership and management is only one path for technical career growth. A good manager will recognise your strengths and weaknesses and help you find a growth path that allows you to play to your strengths.

If your manager is unable to see that, it's time to find one that can.
The primary function of ABS is to allow you to keep steering control, rather than "improved braking" (though I guess it could be said that you get 'improved braking' by being able to control it better ie. by being able to also steer away from an object).

It applies equally to snow, wet or dry conditions.
have a 20 year old mazda miata that has been abused and needed next to no work, drives super well still. Next car would be a mazda but i want a manual truck to offroad in so i'm going toyota.
That won’t allow extracting a value from the optional though, will it? i.e. I can’t do this something along the lines of:

if !matches!(val, Some(let x))
This is my experience as well. I have come to keep a sort-of contextual information hierarchy, where the most important information is evident at the top-level and the most detailed information is easily searchable:

The most-important context is used as the body of commit messages; the more-detailed but still very important context goes into comments directly in the source code. Other context (with regard to why certain decisions were made, things that are tradeoffs, why an operating point was chosen, things to be revisited, how data to support this decision was collected, etc goes into the bug report and a dated text file with the commit hashes and bug number, which makes digging it up later significantly easier: just grep your notes for the relevant bug numbers and commit hashes.

Keeping those very detailed text files has saved me more than once, and when I slip up and don't include information it often comes to haunt me later.
Looking at the comments in the Reddit threads they've linked, you can really see how poorly Mozilla has managed their brands as they've transitioned to making more products under the Firefox umbrella. Most people seem confused about the Firefox browser logo, Firefox the brand logo, and Mozilla the company logo, and I don't blame them.
It can and does happen at both temperatures.
I am for one happy they charge money. I am happy paying knowing it provides incentive for developers to make product even more awesome.
According to this: http://sparcv9.blogspot.com/2010/12/virtualbox-4-beta-on-sol... resizing disks is coming in version 4!
regarding the 420M number, i believe that the number is actually higher than that because there's a large population of internet cafe users that are hard to count. what's even more amazing, imho, is the number of mobile users: 600M+.

all foreign internet companies have failed in china (meaning they did not take a majority of the market): ebay, paypal, google, twitter, facebook, yahoo, youtube, etc.

it is definitely protectionism. the copy cat companies make a fortune in china, no comment on who that benefits mostly.
>>>>> That "74%" you tout is useless as a number, unless you know exactly how many of them are on H1B and how many out of that subset are "depressing wages"

> I don't see how this is relevant to the discussion at hand at all. Given I am a US citizen not bound by visas or anything like that, how am I even theoretically able to "suppress wages"?

You're suppressing wages by working in the industry. "Suppressing wages" and "being present" are the same thing.

And, as you note, you're present as part of the H1B program.

> Your point about this just seems like the most pedantic "technically correct" statement that has zero relevancy. I disputed the fact that the 74% foreign-born number has anything to do with suppressing wages, as a lot of them are US citizens and can choose to work wherever they want

This is your problem; you don't understand what suppressing wages involves.
Strange, every time I walk outside my door, I carry a handgun that I consider to be superior to the ones almost all police have (a M1911), using a license issued by the local sheriff ... I don't recall any prison or "true police state" that allows its inmates or subjects to be about as well or better armed than the guards or police, let alone encourages them (which is more of a local thing for me, but is true for many others).

I share this ability with the residents of 42 states who haven't been convicted of felonies or domestic misdemeanors. Last time I checked that was > 2/3rd of the population, and with California (and Hawaii) currently losing a court case this could well become 44 states and ~3/4ths of the population. I trust I needn't mention our right to own serious rifles "of military utility" as well...
There's a saying that goes, "Abs are made in the kitchen, NOT the gym." I can't stress enough how much portion control (eating less) plays an important in your dieting. Don't believe me? Look at the serving size on the nutrition facts label of some food product you plan on eating, and then look at how many calories are in one serving. It's very easy to "double-up" on serving sizes (oh yah, it feels soo good) and then before you know it, what was supposed to be only 1500 calories just turned into 3000 calories for the day. Do this every day during every meal, and I can bet you sure as hell won't be losing any weight. At best, you'll be maintaining the weight if you're going to the gym regularly (3-5 times a week).

By the way... I see people all too often misunderstand "cheat days". On a cheat day, you don't get to pig out on junk food. You get to pig out on good, healthy food (i.e., double-up on serving sizes), or have just a serving of less-than healthy food (such as pizza, etc).
I'm no mechanic and I have no desire to be one but I've changed my own brake pads, surely anyone can adjust their car's brakes and many other tasks with a few simple tools and a book.

I don't understand why mechanics say some cars are better than others.
That's not correct. I just downloaded the same google font css using different user agents, one for Windows Google Chrome and one for OS X Google Chrome. CSS were different, both specified .woff2 format but actual font URLs were different. And downloaded .woff2 files were different as well. I used Open Sans font for that test. http://pastebin.com/edYbfxzU here's log, you can try it yourself.
A bit off topic, but could someone explain to me why it's so difficult for a browser (or extension) to effectively block 100% of all pop-ups/pop-unders? I realize that these account for only a fraction of ads, but they are really annoying and it seems that these should be the easiest to detect; doesn't this essentially boil down to a few specific API calls? For the few cases that a pop-up/pop-under is legitimate (really, are there any?), I'd be fine whitelisting these on a case-by-case basis.
Sounds interesting! But you should change your CSS for the links. It is not really pleasant and not very practical not to know which text is clickable. Try to find the only link of my site at first glance... http://sitekite.com/find-the-link-npxtDQ
How is the build quality? How is the keyboard these days?

Also came here to mention TOML. It's still in development, but already it makes (IMHO) a better configuration language.
It is possible and I suggested they do just that, some months ago. It won't surprise you to learn that this suggestion went down like a lead balloon, with lots of people assuming I must be an NSA agent, evil, etc. They consider the possibility for nodes to control which HS's they support to be a vulnerability and want to close it.

Tor has exit policies, which are somewhat similar ... exits can choose not to handle certain kinds of traffic (or only handle certain kinds). However they also seem to believe that exit policies shouldn't exist and only do, because of "unreasonable" ISPs that care about abuse.

The people in the Tor community seem oblivious to the political risk they're taking on with the hidden service feature. They keep claiming that dissidents etc use hidden services in the abstract, but all the real world examples people are actually familiar with are the worst kinds of abuse. Recently they announced they'd received a tipoff that directory authorities might be seized. Nothing seems to have happened yet, but the apparent credibility of this threat should have set alarm bells ringing at Tor HQ. Given that HS' represent a tiny fraction of overall Tor traffic, there are virtually no legit hidden services and all the really horrible abuse Tor is famous for relies on it, they should consider just dumping hidden services entirely. Otherwise they're putting everything at risk for a minority feature few users really care about.

I only hope is that as bullshit like this becomes more and more prominent, people will become more and more educated in what is acceptable and what is not (since it will bite them more and more). Eventually, public opinion would shift into more and more negative outlook on corporations who practice such things.

Offenders' influence would then decline and people will become smarter, everyone wins.
My teenage son and his pals had a great time going to some of the teen-friendly free shows this year - they even got quite friendly with one comedy act they saw and spent a few days handing out leaflets for them on the High Street.
These are great for the individual case where a single rule exists.

That big stack of signs in the beginning of the article is there because there's different traffic control being used at different times during the week. Whether good or bad, they've gone the route of drilling their statistical analyses down to parts of week days (and school day or holiday, in some cases) to determine traffic flow and how parked cars effects it.

Not saying one is better than the other. Just, that the systems that result come from different initial conditions.
I think you make a good point, just no need for the hyperbole. We should all be thinking through the downsides of our ideas not just the "hey wouldn't it be neat..." part.
> Is there really nothing better?

I use iPython or GHCi for my calculator needs.
I would love a heat map to see hot spots more clearly.
It also has a built in editor that behaves like old the DOS text editors from qbasic / Turbo Pascal. I think it's more intuitive than nano, especially for Windows users.
If we only did "the accepted convention" indefinitely there would be no going forward. I see this change(of being explicit) as a win.
The situation was already confusing before with different tools using different conventions. This way of being explicit allows you to be consistent across OS-s too. The world is not only GNU, fortunately.
One advice on preparation - olive oil is far from best to use for frying. Its great for cold cuisine and OK for very quick heat use, but things like mushrooms that take time definitely no.

Grapeseed, rapeseed, sunflower oils handle prolonged high heat much better.
Of all the perks Google has, this is one that I don't recall striking me as one I missed when I left. Comcast business class internet is certainly fast enough for standard usage.
You must remember how many times Microsoft has used underhanded or illegal tactics and lies against its opponents including GPL and Gnu/Linux. They even secretly funded the SCO attack. To contribute to such an organization seems evil to me.
I find myself wondering if they're still pushing ...
Well, what I think dvse was saying was that pragmatic thinking (only) will lead to such a situation. I.e., we also need unrelenting people who are not pragmatic, who upholds their principles. Like Stallman.

That doesn't mean that you have to be Stallman, just that it might be a good strategy to accept people who choose to live as they learn.
Out of curiosity, how did you take care of the attitude problem?
The Manning case was the final straw for me with Obama. I still prefer him to any of the Republicans, but my hopes in him have waned.
I live in Lebanon we are ranked last in the world in upload speed (0.12 Mb average upload http://netindex.com/upload/allcountries/) and before last in download speed (0.51Mb average http://netindex.com/download/allcountries/)

I often click play on a youtube video, go to bed and wake up to watch it in the morning.

I am currently developing a small twitter application and the limit of 350 api requests per HOUR is often not the bottleneck.

Just needed to get that off my chest.
> Rules are in place so merchants can't markup products when using a credit card so the standard displayed price already includes the markup and cash paying customers are typically not rewarded.

This is no longer true. The Dodd-Frank Reform Act now allows merchants to charge a surcharge for using a credit card.
Can someone contrast Laravel with Symfony? Why would you pick one over the other when?
