Was the CEO a shareholder?

Sometimes CEO/CTO/COO salaries are distorted (e.g. artificially high or low), depending on if they are a significant shareholder and if they are getting dividends or capital gains from stock.
If you're a developer not coding C++, C#, or maybe Java then Windows seems to offer a sub-optimal work experience. When forced to use Windows, I almost always end up coding in a vm.
Singapore corporations need at least one Singaporean resident as a director. Unless OP already has a close Singaporean friend or is willing to partner up with a Singaporean co-founder I don't think it'll work for him.
This worries me:

Despite what many people think, programmers spend far more time reading code than writing code. Figure out ways of reading code that work for you, using tools as needed. For example syntax colouring was a great reading productivity improvement. If you write your code in a consistent way then it will also be easier to read, although that doesn't help much reading other people's code. (This is why source formatting is a big deal to some.)

Ultimately you will develop a sense of "code smell". A quick glance at some code will give you an impression of it likely being right or having problems. (For example lots of variables and control flow is more likely to have bugs. Seeing lots of zeroes and ones points to off by one issues.)
That's what I thought when they told me it's all they offered in my area!
Currently on my desk: iPad (I'm writing this reply on it), desktop with dual 20" monitors, and a Dell 15" laptop. I'd get the second monitor before I got an e reader. It has the biggest positive impact on productivity.

I'd recommend an iPad over a black and white e reader as well, especially if you'll be reading books with diagrams or code samples, because the color screen comes in handy.
I do see reasons.

They have fixed costs (independent from the number of tickets bought) in the form of payments for search results to ITA plus whatever company overhead (maintenance, salaries, etc).

Whether Hipmunk can afford improvements in user experience while earning thinner margins than the competition is not entirely obvious to me.

I do hope they make it though. Hipmunk rocks!
IMHO, framework/library examples should be viewed as instruction as much as they are documentation. It helps to increase the understanding of junior devs.
The worst is the obsession with min/maxing books and disdain for fiction around here as easy and plebeian.
Right. I just assumed Chrome and Safari also lacked print preview on macOS, didn't even think to check.
Corporations have a long history of violence against labor. I’d like to introduce you to the Pinkertons: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/who-were-the-pinkertons

Corporations will absolutely use violence if not constrained by the state. I trust a democratically elected government much then a random board of directors.
When you get down to it, every country has the death penalty for something.

Don't believe the Netherlands does? Try shooting into a crowd of police officers over there.
I'm just one woman. What Cosmopolitan does so far, it does really well. It was only as recently as a few days ago that I got mmap() and malloc() polyfilled on bare metal. It has serial uart i/o. It's going to have e1000/virtio sockets soon. You can help me will that future into existence. I need people who know o/s dev and can help me write code that does things like correctly set up pic controller.
Unless it wants to pass the built in anti malware filter.
That criticism is warranted but I feel that having a "goal" of books to read is a very useful tool to develop the habit of reading in people that never read.

As for the type of people that do not typically read, I would encourage them to read what they would love reading (even if its NYT Best sellers) until they love reading.
Yes, if you can get a good deal flow from your own network and sales efforts, it doesn't make sense to sign up for a marketplace. But for many small companies and freelancers, efficient customer acquisition is a big problem and marketplaces can solve that. Steady deal flow is more important to many people than maximizing revenue from a single deal.
I took a quick glance at the quoted research, none of which has been peer reviewed as far as I can tell, and the reduction of emissions during use of an EV is offset by the production which apparently uses more energy for EVs.

This offset is compensated for in about 100.000 km in a EU context.
A bit more than 200.000 km 'in the context of Germany’s energy mix'.

> Even the most gifted engineers will not be able to build internal combustion engines (ICEs) that meet the EU’s prescribed standards (unless they force their customers into soapbox cars).

Remarks like that make think the author is not entirely unbiased either. All in all, this reads like an op-ed paid for by an industry with a lot of vested interests in oil & coal.

That's not an acronym, GP's point is that a single word acronym contains even less information than this (apparently called a 'numeronym').
It doesn't matter. The Filibuster is just a Senate rule, and the party in power can rewrite the rules any way they wish when organizing after each biennial ekection.

They eventually did exactly that but only for judicial confirmation.
But run-time is more important, isn't that why we compile stuff with optimizations that take ages to process when building products for the end users?

Compilers are hard, compiler bugs can have a devastating effect on one's software, so it's understandable that developers may prefer to take things slow but safe.
Bits of meat sticking to the vegan burger would be a big no-no for me and the vegans that I know!

I'm not personally bothered by using the same tools to handle both meat and vegan options, as long as I can't taste it, if we're talking about backyard barbecuing with friends. But I expect more from a company.

I had an unpleasant experience a couple of years ago at Subway. I ordered a vegan sub, and the person behind the counter asked if I wanted them to switch their plastic gloves. "No need," I said, because I thought it was a moral question. But when I started eating the sub I could smell meat along the whole bread as I ate it. It was not pleasant when it was two decades since I last had meat, but I was drunk and hungry and finished it anyway.

I find Julia to be a beautiful little language. Applause to the team for this 1.3 release!

In one of my CS classes we wrote a LISP using Julia. Our professor wrote the parser for us, so we just had to focus on the actual interpreter bit. The pattern matching/multi-dispatch mechanisms were really nice. We didn't get to play too much with the parallelism mechanisms, but I liked what I did see.

I feel like Julia is a much richer language than, say, Python, and it would be a nice drop-in replacement for numerical computing tasks: it's faster, in some ways more ergonomic, and afaik can call out to Python libraries if needed. Has anyone here switched from Python to Julia for scientific/ML/AI purposes?
Damn ruskis fooling around again.
Agree. Data is going to be collected anyway. If it's going to help anyone, perhaps it should help everyone. To level the playing field.

I am all for more transparency when it comes to altercations with cops for instance. Body camera footage!!
Your definition is just as tenuous.

I define introversion by the MBTI definition: "I like getting my energy from dealing with the ideas, pictures, memories, and reactions that are inside my head, in my inner world. I often prefer doing things alone or with one or two people I feel comfortable with. I take time to reflect so that I have a clear idea of what I'll be doing when I decide to act. Ideas are almost solid things for me. Sometimes I like the idea of something better than the real thing."

Similarly, I define extroversion by the MBTI definition: "I like getting my energy from active involvement in events and having a lot of different activities. I'm excited when I'm around people and I like to energize other people. I like moving into action and making things happen. I generally feel at home in the world. I often understand a problem better when I can talk out loud about it and hear what others have to say."

I define my personality shift from introversion to extroversion as a shift from primarily the first definition to the second. The shift is not in full: Meyers and Briggs not only recognized the spectrum between the two and the conditionality of both personalities, they accounted for it in their assessment.

I still have periods of overstimulation by crowds that require alone time to "recharge." I also have periods of overstimulation of introverted self-care, in which I require crowds and groups to "recharge."

Overall, I find the black-and-white dichotomy to be insufficient to describe the experience. The gray area is better, but I still think the presence of the opposing words does a disservice to the people attempting to define themselves and others in terms of them.
You are right that MOOCs can't be free forever. In particular, right now MOOCs are subsidized by tenure: it's often tenured profs who can get a course release who develop MOOCs, and they do so because they're interested in education, rather than from a profit motive per se. Most universities swallow the cost because it's good for marketing at this point. This won't be true in the future.

Many universities are looking to develop their own branded online programs, which may or may not look like MOOCs, so that they can have an additional revenue stream. This pulls them away from platforms like Coursera. I am curious what will happen as the ed companies' interests diverge from those of the university.
Thanks for the article, I think you're missing some code, it seems that every time you have a `do` block in your code samples most of the code is cut off (I assume).
Clearly we just need cochlear implants so that we can turn off hearing went we need quiet. XD
Why does your app ask for my location even when i'm not using the app?
People are only going to leave if they can get an equivalent job at a competitor. If and when the current tech bubble bursts, these companies will all have a hiring freeze at the same time, just as they're all in a hiring frenzy at the same time right now. We live in a feast-or-famine economy, and we tend to forget past famines while we're feasting.
I agree, comparing completion rates for MOOCs and 4-year colleges is like comparing the percentage of couples still together 4 years after a first date (MOOC) vs 4 years after getting married (college): I don't think we would WANT those numbers to be the same.
Not sure why you are downvoted. Even pg admitted that their ROI are absurd, so they must (and can afford to) fund thousands of startups to have success at the current winner takes all digital economy.
> Google's brainteasers did not lead to quality candidates

This is why we at Google don't (or shouldn't, at least - it's widely discouraged) ask brainteaser questions in interviews.

I disagree on whiteboard coding though. I don't find it that easy, but I think it's reasonable to expect a demonstration of relevant skills before you hire a candidate. Any sensible interviewer won't expect syntax-perfect code on a whiteboard, but it's at least a way of seeing if the candidate can walk the walk rather than just talking for an hour.

> I guess I do not see how you can lose if you take the contract-to-hire approach ..

For the first month, the vast majority of people are relatively unproductive. After the next month, good candidates are generally still going through a significant learning curve. Contracting several candidates for a few months to pick one who seems good enough is expensive for relatively little output - apart from salaries, they need desks and computers etc, and you have to do some interviewing to pick them in the first place. It's not a worthless approach, but I don't see it as a panacea.
I think the most interesting part of this is the lack of shared space in video conferencing, and how it gets in the way of ASL's use of space. As the article mentions, many verbs in ASL are inflected ("conjugated") according to semantic roles (roughly "subject" / "object" (not exactly, because passive voice)).

"I ask you" and "I help you" can each be signed as a single entity, where the motion (starting at me, and moving in your direction) carries the information about the pronouns.

At the very least, the layout on each person's screen could be consistent so that person A is always at location 1, and so on. That might restore some sense of shared space.

This shows up as a pain-point even in a spoken-language setting. If everyone is introducing themselves, what order do they go in?
No offense to Poettering, but from reading some of the stuff he wrote one just has to wonder why won't he just go away and start working for either Apple or Microsoft, as their OSes are more aligned with what his vision for Linux is.
This is cute. But does it affect readability if the page being scrolled is text?
Nice. Is it frequently used in contexts outside of allocation? I assume allocation is the primary use, or at least it's the most talked about, but I have never done anything complex in rust.
That's extra careful? I have been married 18 years and I have stabbed my wife a total of ZERO times.
I wish someone would beat me the way Google beats Apple. Apple is making a bunch more money off iOS than Google makes off Android, and in the US they are only barely being beat in market share when Google is on all major carriers and Apple is on just one. When Verizon gets iPhone, Android will go back to second place.
Some users might be happy to know that the service got bought out.

Take it in reverse: if they were closing down due to personal illness or death or something else horrible, would you still argue that the users don't care? I doubt it. Customers are human after all and care.

Scrapy is written in Python. This looks like a Ruby focused article. It's even written in the title, no need to actually go and read it. I'd say your suggestion is simply off-topic here.

As for Scrapy itself, it's a big framework, written on top of even bigger framework which is probably better described as a platform at this point. I've used Scrapy in a couple of projects and I also worked with Twisted before, which made things significantly easier for me, and it still was quite a bit of a hassle to set things up. IIRC configuring a pipeline for saving images to disk with their original names was kind of a nightmare. It does perform extremely well and scales to insane workloads, but I would never use it for simple scrapper for a single site. For those requests+lxml work extremely well.
Think and Grow Rich is a classic and I'd also recommend reading it. But it's less about Confidence and more centrally about Drive. What makes this a good recommendation though is that Drive, in my experience, renders Confidence essentially moot. If you're sufficiently driven, you won't let low confidence or low self-esteem get in the way of getting what you want/winning. But that said, Drive doesn't help you be more successful/participatory in a team meeting.

> but that is the very start of all marketing research.

Call it marketing research, but I am just interested in the potential market. I am reasonably sure there are many people who want to sell things and there are many who already are trading online.

For me, the crux is how do I attract people who need this service but aren't aware of it. Unfortunately, I don't know how to go about it. In other thread, it is suggested it's mainly trial and error and I go with talking to actual customers and figuring out why they aren't selling/buying online. Things would be easier if I figure out my niche market and there needs.

I respectfully disagree with your number analysis. My analysis is going to be vague. I have calculated the initial development cost(which is just the cost of living of 2 partners; we are paying our own expenses, no overheads for the product) and the server cost for initial days. I have plans for bootstrapping. I am reasonably sure the number analysis or the focus group stuff never translates to real figures. Shopify is at 6000 which is far, far less than any number analysis will come up with. In short, I know my investment, I have a vague idea how much I am going to charge and how long it will take for me to break even. Other than this, the only research I will be putting on will be in finding a way to reach out to potential customers.

> The approach above is important because you need to be able to estimate how much revenue you should expect at various levels of growth.

I would say that sounds good in theory but never works in practice. Can you point out some evidence(anecdotal) that things worked out as per the estimates? I am talking about the revenue estimation. I think there isn't a way to actually, successfully predict it. You can make an educated guess, but that's that.

> How much can someone make at selling online commerce software?

I honestly think there isn't a correct answer to that question. And I am not selling commerce software, I am offering software as a service over the web.
Customer requests are redirected by ISPs to the transparent proxy on an IP:port basis. DNS is not poisoned; using a different DNS will not affect how it works.

http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rnc1/cleanfeed.pdf

I personally use a cheap VPS located in the US to get around IP geolocation (e.g. occasional Youtube videos, Hulu etc.), and it can also circumvent this, though I have never had cause to - my Be Pro account does not block filesonic.com, for example.
>There are still some people who still think nothing is wrong with git; that it is okay for the result of a merge to depend on how things are merged rather than on only what is merged; that is it okay for two git repositories that pull the same patches to have different contents depending on how they pulled those patches. I don’t know what to say to those people. Such a view seems like insanity to me.

Git merges files, not file-histories. Git's behavior is simple, clear, and easy to understand.

I can see why you might expect merges to be transitive like this (it would be an elegant property, if it were true), but why does it matter to you? In what way do you use merges that could rely on this expectation?
The renaming trick is also done for meat. The horse/beef meat scandal in Europe shed a little bit of light on what we now call 'meat' which is remains that would have been thrown away before.

But your mind cannot identify the emotional state of a professional actor. People are far more sophisticated than this immature and naively conceived technology.
It's the style guide for Google's specific environment. If you are not Google, much of it is likely irrelevant.

For example, the style guide says that C++ exceptions are the way to go...except that by the time the guide was written there was already too much existing code that wasn't exception safe. Therefore the guide says that regretfully, exceptions cannot be used.

Edit: clarification
Again. The chicken and cows and the crops get eaten by humans. Phosphorous and potassium goes somewhere else, certainly not back into the farm where it originated.

It doesn't matter if the cows and the chicken do all these things, because humans aren't returning their fair share to the soil.
Does Doom Emacs provide the same functionality as IntelliJ IDEA?
> it muddles the morality of the situation

For most people, it does. I hold political free speech protections as sacrosanct. I do not have the same view towards dark money.

Putting my views and morality aside, the law treats commercial and non-commercial speech differently. Integrating payments lets the government subpoena records (and more) under AML/ATF law. Those laws are powerful and broadly supported.

Totally separately, if we take the position that money is speech, then fine. Why the hell not make a one-click “send wallet address” option for a variety of coins?
I guess you think only intentional straw-men arguments exist. This isn't the case. They can also arise from misunderstanding, which I think is what happened here. To spell it out: user moksly described an instance of the inverted classroom. You selectively quoted and misunderstood this to be about (university-style) lectures, and proceeded to argue against lectures.¹ I resent that you didn't take my clue to learn about the inverted classroom concept, that way you could have noticed your mistake.

¹ FWIW: I agree that lectures are not suitable for school pupils.

This was a quick read, but I am now confused. I did not hear is many people were on Manning's side, like some seems to be on Snowden's, but since they both leaked classified info, doesn't Manning make the entire action look as if it was just because of mental instability? In other words, while some thing of Snowden and maybe Manning as heroes, doesn't his defense stain his action with a more or less "it wasn't really me" as opposed to "it was the right thing to do for the people of the US"? I just wanted to know what other people though about this.
