Interesting to contrast this with Richard Hamming's advice:

Another trait, it took me a while to notice. I noticed the following facts about
people who work with the door open or the door closed. I notice that if you have
the door to your office closed, you get more work done today and tomorrow, and
you are more productive than most. But 10 years later somehow you don't know
quite know what problems are worth working on; all the hard work you do is sort
of tangential in importance. He who works with the door open gets all kinds of
interruptions, but he also occasionally gets clues as to what the world is and
what might be important. Now I cannot prove the cause and effect sequence
because you might say, ``The closed door is symbolic of a closed mind.'' I don't
know. But I can say there is a pretty good correlation between those who work
with the doors open and those who ultimately do important things, although
people who work with doors closed often work harder. Somehow they seem to work
on slightly the wrong thing - not much, but enough that they miss fame.

I don't doubt that they can, I doubt that they should.
For tl;drs: wireless device pairs with your computer to stream files, identifies as a USB drive to whatever you plug it into. But it's buggy beta-quality nigh-crap disguised as a finished device.

Interesting idea indeed, but guaranteed to be less cool than it sounds like under even the best production quality. Wireless is hardly plug-and-play at all times; to be reliable, you must create your own network that it can connect to. Expecting to reliably run a network share through any random network is expecting friendly gnomes riding ponies to leap from that random network's routers and magically transfer your data for you.

There is this thing called the Amazon Appstore. Perhaps you've heard of it? On anything but an official Amazon device, it works entirely by sideloading [1]. And considering the broad impact this particular use (not to mention other important ones) has had (e.g. Amazon's official devices probably wouldn't exist without their use of sideloading to bootstrap the app ecosystem), saying sideloading primarily used for piracy is just wrong.

[1] Ironically, I think the pervasive sideloading third-party app stores on Android require is a bug, not a feature. I'd much rather see an official way to add "known sources" so that, after the initial install, you didn't need to leave sideloading enabled in order to use them.
> Thirdly, because it'd be a hell of a lot of fun! Why else would anyone write a database...

Presumably, because you have a business, which has a product, which has a nascent feature, which requires some particular set of time-and-space-and-distribution guarantees that no current database on the market makes. This is why, for example, Cassandra was developed.
As entrepreneurs I believe we are hardwired to search for the "next big thing." I agree with this article in that it can be detrimental to our success as entrepreneurs. With my first business we launched and had decent revenues for almost two years. Then things started going south and instead of searching for a solution within our business, we tried starting another company to support it. And when that didn't work and I returned to "tie myself to the masthead like Odysseus" my ship had already sunk. Moral of the story: Stay focused!
My point is that many people would hold home phone service to a higher level of reliability than the ability to browse lol cats on 3G. The only reason I ditched my landline is because cell phone service is so darn reliable where I live. If Skype wants to replace landlines, it's not unreasonable for people to hold them to that standard.
IT fits under the operations umbrella. Engineering fits under the product development umbrella. We're very separate - cost center vs. profit center.

Assuming the reviewer came from IT or another operations group, some of what was written is more understandable, but much of it is not.

Our number one guard against a capricious manager causing trouble is the culture of openness - we're encouraged/expected to say what we think (even if it's controversial). We also have a 360 review process that is unique in that anyone can review anyone else. I could write a review for Reed if I so chose.

I've stuck around because:

- I love working with the people I work with - they're smart, call out bullshit, write good code, value quality, and share knowledge freely.

- I think the management is very competent - as a whole (from exec's down to engineering managers) are at least as smart as any I've interacted with, but they are they are more ethical than any. Every last manager I've interacted with has earned my respect, I don't give it easily.

- The environment is as a-political as I've seen. The meritocracy I expected to find in academia.

I absolutely love working at netflix, they've spoiled me for any other job.
I think changing the colon to a comma would do the trick.

Anyone else think, "Battlestar was right!"?
I have a dropbox account (free 2gb) - and I would like more storage.

I don't get the economics of these services; I know that it costs money to host data - build tech blah blah blah - but I just dont see having 500GB of storage available as being worth $80/month.

What I would love is a free-cloud-services aggregation service to which I could have one account that grabs the free offerings from multiple providers and gives me one interface to them.

I love these services, I, personally, just think there is something off with the pricing.
I'm LDS and use the Church's site frequently.

I don't like the new site.

Just yesterday they fixed one thing that bothered me about it, which is that anytime you highlight, you would get a fade-in pop-up on the side of the text about journaling or highlighting it. This was pretty irritating since I am in the habit of highlighting text while I read. Now there is a constant black bar that tells me to sign in to journal and/or highlight, which is also annoying, but less so.

Secondly, the new layout is not fluid horizontally -- it is horizontally centered and seems to be tailored for 1024x768 audiences. It's much worse attempting to read scriptures or articles on my 1920x1080 screen with gobs of excess space on the screen, now only occupied by blue gradient. The text used to flow well and take up all available screen space due to the simple layout of the site -- the revision not only horizontally centers everything, but even cuts the container down, with "Share" and "Download" links on the sidebar. The text is spaced awkwardly and it's just a great big waste of screen real estate. I read the print version most of the time (now I use the old one since they brought the old scriptures back), but it doesn't have footnote toggle and the spacing is still weird; at least, however, it doesn't waste 50% of my horizontal screen space. Loading footnotes can be tiresome, as the site makes an AJAX call on load; I'd much prefer preloaded footnotes. The new chapter selection page makes it harder to find the chapter you want -- you can either scroll a lot and use the same number of clicks or click on the jump menu and add an extra click in there.

There are some cool things about the new site, and I like the use of HTML5 font faces and other things like that, but for the most part it's less usable for more shininess. Compare http://scriptures.lds.org and http://classic.scriptures.lds.org and tell me which you'd rather read from.
My first thought... :)
That isn't exactly true. Part of the reason I went ahead and bought minecraft the other day was because buying it in alpha gives all updates (and expansions!?) for free.
Wrong. Blog posts are not AP releases. Most of your tips are either irrelevant or downright wrong if trying to write a successful blog post.

Regurgitating generic advice without adapting it to the current topic is a very, very bad habit.
High speed rail is breathtakingly expensive, especially in urban areas. When BART was planning on a high speed branch out to silicon valley, it was budgeted to run $120,000,000 per mile of track. Part of the cost is that you cannot have any at-grade crossings, every road crossing has to be an over/underpass.
Let's simply say that for most foundations its only real purpose is to lower someone's tax bill and the most efficient way to transmit assets to one's kids.
The name of this financial structure is so misleading. Honestly I find it fascinating from the PR/Marketing side.
Huh, that's interesting. How come your link claims the increase was 1.5% while mine claims it was 7.7%?
I was sorely disappointed to see that was laid out with divs and css, not tables...
Problem is: automobile owners chose their houses with these subsidies already accounted for in their budget. Remove them and suddenly it's impossible for them to stay in their home.

Oh, and they can't move closer to the city center: removing the subsidies just made houses that are centrally located impossible to afford for them.
No. This is a misinterpretation of the responsibility. Companies have great latitude in what they do, as long as they're forthright.
Check with your local Apple authorized service provider (AASP)! At least in the US, they can still order those keyboards from Apple as repair parts. You don't need a computer serial number (or maybe you do, but the AASP can just stick a serial number on it). Pricing should be the same as the original retail MSRP, but it's possible some AASPs could add a markup if Apple allows them to (which I don't know).

AASPs were also able to order the iMac Pro space gray keyboards the same way, back when they were exclusive to the iMac Pro and weren't sold standalone.

Apple low-profile keyboards have been my keyboard of choice for over 10 years on any platform and for any use (gaming included). I know a lot of people swear by mechanical keyboards, but personally I type much faster with the low-profile keys and love the feel of them.
+1 for fish, the autocompletion alone makes it my daily driver. You can get the same in any reputable shell, but I like that it is designed into it from the ground up (the zsh autocompletion plugin brands itself as "fish-like").

It's also compatible-enough with POSIX for most purposes, and supported as an alternative for lots of software (venv comes to mind).
Specialisation is the exception, not the rule.

It’s already here. That’s what the fight against charter schools and school choice in general is. The money grab by ineffective unionized teachers is one aspect, but the centralization of education is the other aspect they seek to protect since it enables one sided indoctrination instead of diverse education. And now there are even activists and (sham/quack) academics trying to ban homeschooling - see https://fee.org/articles/harvard-magazine-calls-for-a-presum... or https://www.forbes.com/sites/mikemcshane/2020/04/21/harvards...

Somehow proponents of one size fits all centralized public education don’t seem to recognize that they’re no different than the CCP forcing Tibetan children into government schools to get reprogrammed into their ideology and revisionism.
JavaScript was OO form day one. There aren't even much languages that are so consequent OO like JavaScript. Everything is an object even functions.

JavaScript is actually quite similar to Self (besides the syntax), which itself is a kind of a SmallTalk like language. It's hard to be more OO than that. :-)
I implemented this mode in a Django library [0] (demo on www.pastery.net) because I love the idea of not needing a password manager any more, just simply having a key with you to log in anywhere, but it doesn't seem to have widespread browser support yet.

Maybe I made a mistake, but Firefox doesn't seem to work very reliably with it, and mobile support is spotty too.

Oh great, I am sure they won't ask for anything in return. Some tele3_etey here, some downloads there, and before you know it..

TLDR long rant ... Boiled down. G00gl3 didn't do this selflessly. No praise, no PR, no prepared BS.
Definitely. At the end of the day, the best way to get any kind of funding is to make people worry that they're missing the boat heading towards a ton of money. Demonstrating real customers, and everything else that falls under 'traction' and 'momentum' is the way to achieve that.

If I had to do it again, I'd completely forget about the money-raising and spend the three months focused on the product, and worry about everything else much later. That's not a great fit for the Techstars program, though some of the most interesting companies to come out of it have ended up boot-strapping, eg Occipital/Red Laser.
1) More important than open source, it needs to be free. It's danged expensive, and the version with the full compliment of testing tools is even more expensive. There are several very decent free IDE's not from MicroSoft, and they are primarily aimed at non-MS environments. It's in MS's interest to promote development in their OS talking to their family of software products.

2) Open source because MS still hasn't made it a good IDE for Javascript development. Yes it has Jscript Intellisense (nice), but you can't collapse Jscript by {} in the editor. This hampers it as a full-fledged web development IDE if you're going to do any more than trivial JS development. If it were OS, maybe someone would fix this.
They are. And they don’t even need the demos to tell us that (they admittedly could have handled the demos better, I just don’t think it’s a big deal). Safari is a great browser, Webkit is a kick ass render engine, you can do cool stuff with it on the iPhone and iPad and all that cool stuff will (nearly always) also work on any other (say, Android) modern mobile OS. Or nearly every modern browser.

Moreover, if you don’t like the Safari UI you can check out one of several Webkit browsers (most notably Chrome).

If you could do everything with emerging web standards that you can now do with Flash this wouldn’t even be a contest. The emerging standards would win hands down. You admittedly can’t (yet?) but it really does look as though the scenarios where you need to use Flash are getting scarcer by the day.

Apple might be the bad guys with respect to the App Store, they are the good guys as far as browser development is concerned.
Interesting to note that Mobile safari score 134 better then desktop version which scores 122 for latest version of safari.

While I wouldn't entirely disagree with you, I think the analogy needs a little tweaking.

To my mind, it's not that the act of a girl looking for a rich guy and a guy looking for an attractive girl are the same act so much as it is that more times than not these two will find each other.

Girls whose priorities are in wealth and financial security with not end up attracting guys who are interested in relationships based off of emotional commonalities (read similar likes and values). Likewise, guys whose priorities are in finding the most attractive girl will not end up attracting girls who are interested in relationships based off of emotional commonalities.

This is essentially consistent with your analogy. The problem is that just because this is true is no reason to accept it as a healthy basis for a relationship.
I'd say No Agenda beats NPR in the morning.
>So if no one will pay for it and it offers little broader societal benefit that we might want to subsidize, what is it for?

You could ask that question about all of the humanities, really, but presumably you want poor people to have the option of studying English, history, philosophy, etc.
Pardon my ignorance, but what is a "Golden Minority?"
And? And they stole a religiously significant item, letting him know he's not safe at home -- without knowing whether it was law enforcement or a robber.

I guess you'd be fine with that happening to you?
Seriously, FUCK the TSA. Those assholes are the terrorists as far as I'm concerned.

My wife set off an explosives detector once. They asked her if she had used any lotions, she said yes, hand lotion, and they let her go.

Thank you for posting this. I had a lot of issues with D3 where it seemed like it wanted to be a domain specific language, but at some point decided to be a reimplementation of JS around some arbitrary starting point of thinking in R-like or HDF-like data frames or something, and then just got out of hand.

There are a ton of cool interpolation and features and such, and you can use them probably here and there without everything else from D3, and I have managed to do that on occasion. If someone were to make a debugger specifically for D3 or just generally say "forget JavaScript and drink the coolaid and just copy our awesomeness and forget about making your own" I think that would be in line with how D3 is presented. The composable part is spot on. I think OpenFrameworks also suffers from this. They demo their awesome thing and eventually make a library in OF, but as far as using OF itself to make that original awesomeness, that's when one would just say "well, I guess OF is cool for doing exactly what you see people doing with OF but anything more is just C++" ... anyway. So it isn't a framework or an abstraction per se, but a series of just previously developed functions that let you repeat what the author did.
Non-EU data processors are subject to the GDPR if their business customer (data controller) is, according to the triggers mentioned above. To give an example: an online retailer based in the US advertises its products at Google AdWords and targets consumers in the EU and therefore falls within the scope of the GDPR. If the retailer uses the services of a cloud provider to manage its EU customer information, hosting of such data in the cloud will also trigger applicability of the GDPR. The cloud vendor must comply with the (limited) GDPR obligations for data processors.

No. The CCPA does not apply to nonprofit organizations or government agencies.

I don’t remember what the test is, but there’s genetic tests for common medication that show how likely it is to have a weird side effect. I once had a psychotic episode after taking Wellbutrin, despite having no history of psychosis (before or since!) My daughter got a genetic screen and a baseline interaction is a 1, with 10 being way off, I suppose. My daughter got a 9 for Wellbutrin. I assume I gave her that. Something about my chemistry just doesn’t interact with that drug the way other people do.
I can’t say I’m particularly excited about this. People are going to tweet things at 15 years old that they’re going to regret at 30. Why should there be a permanent record of everything that was ever tweeted? It just comes across as obsessive and black mirror-y.
> If I am a smaller, poorer country (especially poor in natural resources), why would I agree to this?

Well, logically, you wouldn't. Until all sort of levers start turning and you start feeling pain.

How do you think this kind of thing happened historically? See: Commodore Matthew Perry & co.
"Following the letter of the law" means ignoring Congressional intent. It allows the judge to choose one of the many possible readings of a statute.

So in effect, "following the letter of the law" enlarges a judge's discretion. The opposite of what you would expect.
The case was argued weeks before Barrett was confirmed to the court.
What are people finding as the real sweet spots for Phoenix?

I have used Erlang very successfully in a semi-embedded context, but that's quite different from a web server that can usually be scaled horizontally pretty easily.

One obvious one is if you have to hold open a lot of concurrent connections like web sockets. It'd be great for that. Others?
If you do, please check the various meta keys. Hijacking tab is expected here, but not cmd-/alt-tab etc.
Ah, a Stephen Breyer counterfactual.
anecdotal evidence of mine is when i interviewed for a large US tech company for a remote role based in the UK. based on their pay bracket someone living in central london or in a rural village in northern ireland will be entitled to the same pay. how does that make any sense? this all remote work “bonanza” from big tech companies seems to be just another cost optimization trick - all thanks to supply-demand imbalance for remote roles

The initial version of const generics is in the next release.

I am not using the beta version of K-9. I was able to make it work mostly correctly on Android 11 by setting it to "Not Optimized" in the battery power permissions. That will allow it to run in the background. It seems to be able to use IDLE and to also run its periodic polling that way. Otherwise I would open K-9 and it would be hours out of date.
