It's best to look at the text you're generating. Not the keys you are pressing.

I haven't been able to separate the two on the iPhone/iPad; they're both on the same screen and relate to what I'm doing at that exact instant.

I would LOVE to try out the author's keyboard.

If you like, email me your UDID and I'll email you back with the demo app the author provides. Or maybe a build of Mobile Colloquy (an IRC client) with this, if I have time to hack it together.

If you are known to reliably kill/torture/imprison/enslave people for X, MUCH fewer people will be doing X. Works in Russia at least.

I'm not disputing that he is gay, I'm asking for a source for the supposed "fact" that he was being discharged for it.
Fascinating article. While the concept of a "real" dollar is a leaky abstraction (hence the constant bickering about how the price indices that determine pensions etc. should be calculated), it still is a striking way to demonstrate how the relative prices of things have changed over time.
Yes some banks need it
As do giants like Google Facebook etc

Chances are very high that the problem domain you are working in does not.

Like the author said “1%” I think maybe 5% to 7%

The point being that masses of software is developer everyday on a cargo cult adoption of solution they do not require.
Twitter and Facebook are executing a Man-in-the-Middle attack between the government and the citizens and people are cheering them on. This is ridiculous.
So are you basically describing stack ranking here?

It's just impossible for everyone in a company to be a team lead, so not everyone can become that to become an L5.

Which leaves the other option, to become an L5, which is to be an "exceptionally strong individual contributor" and being that "on an ongoing basis". Not everyone in a company can be an "exceptionally" strong person, otherwise it wouldn't be exceptional any longer.

You're saying the expectation was to either become L5 or get out. So now we have all these PhDs and super achievers working at Google, but only some of them can be exceptional vs. the others.

You were exceptional vs. regular people and made it to L5. Now comes in a super achieving PhD that's a tad better than you and now he's exceptional. You are no longer exceptional. You're just an average super achiever. So get the eff off Google's lawn. Stack ranking completed.
Which means he's not banned from them and is still perfectly capable of using them to "speak quickly to people".
I don't think this has anything to do with the transfer of power.

The power is being transferred, this protest has no bearing on that.
One difference is that Apple generated their own intellectual property. Facebook lays claim on other people's data.
Journalists did investigate. Just some cursory Googling finds plenty of articles from respected journalists who looked into it and shared their conclusions.

Swatch tried to do that by creating Swatch Internet Time, which was a time zone less decimal time system. As you can guess, this didn’t end well or take over the world.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time

Time zones exist so that (approximately) the sun is overhead at noon. If you ask anyone what time zone the world should operate on, they’ll agree, provided that they use your time zone. Otherwise you could make everyone use GMT/UTC instead, and I can’t see America doing that when most of the country can’t count beyond 12 on a clock.

There are some counties which use a single time zone by dictat, like China, but all that happens is people adjust their working days such that the sun is up at lunchtime, so you don’t gain any advantages by having everyone on the same time zone because now you need to know what individual areas working hours are so you can communicate.

These days more problems are caused by leap seconds, which is the difference between GMT and UTC, and I expect we will get rid of those soon as well.
As far I know there is current shortage in the new GPU market. High prices has nothing to do with tariff.
People making suggestions to each other is a fundamental part of democracy. Of course it is not guaranteed to produce reasonable results, but I think we should help it along in that direction.
In this specific CamScanner context, I think it has less to do with political correctness and more to do with the fact that CamScanner was one of the first apps in the marketplace that had this ability to produce half-decent scans through a smartphone camera. I remember using it to scan class notes ~6 years ago, long before Google Drive shipped it as native capability.

Indeed, if my social circle's "woke" parts are anything to measure by, active efforts are being made to find alternatives to made-in-china products. Most people are able to make the distinction between the despotic Chinese government and the average Chinese citizen.
Or with "The Star Diaries". A bit more silly, but also a great read. (Also a collection of short stories)
Pretty sure there is no live stream and I think at least some of the presentations are off the record.
Am I missing something, or does their solution not actually solve their specific example problem case at all?

Saving local time plus offset is _exactly_ the same information as saving GMT, isn't it?

You'd really need to save local datetime plus location... which they don't seem to actually be recommending?

Of course, for actually triggering an alarm or whatever, you'd still need to plot this on the actual timeline somehow, and deal with periodically checking to see if it should be changed because of a DST or timezone rule change or whatever.
While I believe your intentions are good, the track history of free companies that rely on advertising isn't all that great. Essentially, many people will read your statement and mentally append a "yet..."
They made a documentary about barbed wire and Glidden and the town where he manufactured it Dekalb, Illinois. Its called Barbed Wire Pioneers.
This is what happens when we believe that open-source needs marketing to succeed: everyone who doesn't put in the time to make a Bootstrap-based landing page, buy a domain, and create branding is then viewed as lesser-quality. Why would I want to create any of that crap? I already write docs, comment, and keep up with it on Github.

Never mind that some of the linked projects are tackling problems orders of magnitude more difficult and hairy than some commenters here will even fathom undertaking in their 'careers.'
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductionism[#]

In other words, you by failing to distinguish scaling phenomena (1->N) with a gating criteria (0,1), you are making an attribution error concerning the "essentialness" of your explanatory variable.

For example: co-founders are typically not "interviewed" for the job. But (a) their selection is essential; and (b) if you can find a co-founder, you can find any lesser employee.

It could be argued, that having the ability to "recruit" without formal interview is actually a more essential skill.
> This post really underlines my own experience of trying to find an office space for a startup in London

I didn't find it hard. We got a serviced office near Farringdon tube via a broker. (flexi offices) after looking at about 10 places in the arc from there to Old St. Signed a 1-year lease with a 6-month break, just in case things went south.
*makes sense
> I see it as part of their charm - speaks to the homebrew, grassroots, piecemeal nature of them.

Which also incidentally are words many people would not want their projects to be associated with.

> git did this recently too. I preferred the tree-eating monster and vertical logo - it had so much more character and soul than the current look does.

The old one might have had "character" but the new one looks professional and the whole new image that git has nowadays makes it a ton easier to pitch to non developers. Why does the whole idea of appearing "professional" have such a bad attitude among certain developers?

Our vision is to make renting an office easy by pulling together a fragmented market and presenting the company searching with all the options available for their specific criteria.

Once you know where you want to move to, we help you arrange your entire move, storage, furniture, utilities etc.

If you are renting out excess space, we manage the entire headache of taking rental payments and licencing agreement for your space.

Whew. I would think hard about putting my people in that position if I received that request.
I don't know whether that last is significant if the pat-downs work as designed - to discourage people from opting out.
Because they are controversial, show you naked, expose you to x-ray, and they thought this would be a better way for people to accept it from a PR point of view.

Metal detectors are non-invasive, efficient, don't take naked pictures of you, and you are still supposed to opt-out if you have something like a pacemaker where the metal detector represents a possible health risk.
America's long history of unchecked ambition hasn't always been great for its citizens' well-being, but it's the reason why we put a man on the moon, have 10 of the world's 10 best research universities, and are known for larger-than-life aspirations and achievements.
In Safari (OSX), as the little balls touch an iDevice, it lights up a bit, and eventually the device is fully lit up. On Chrome (also OSX), this effect is missing.
I think the biggest problem is the naming. When I heard the title Scrum Master, I envisaged someone that was a master, someone with training - and yes, someone who runs the project. I recently read Succeeding with Agile by Mike Cohn and now understand it's just a role title - it's the person tasked with making sure scrum practices are used - regardless of how much scrum experience that person has - and is distinct from the project manager role. It really needs to be renamed - it's like a bad variable name.
do they have article quotas at tech crunch?
> (Note, btw, that all of your comments in this thread-subtree have all been downvoted to hell. It appears to me that these same comments are sarcastic and nasty, and very poorly argued. On the other hand, your comment that begins with "The reason this is important to discuss is that..." is mostly pretty reasonable, and hasn't been smashed by downvotes. I think that's not a coincidence.)

Indeed. I disagree with fit2rule all around the comment threads for this article and I upvoted that one - because it's reasonable and thoughtful.
"can drink" and "prepared to drink" are different things.

Also I don't assume that random glasses of chemicals handed to me have been processed and handled in a food-grade manner.
I can imagine this being used for educational purposes. It seems that it could be useful to professions that use case-studies to improve trainee's competency. Not profession in it's right, but a more general technical skill is systems-troubleshooting. Imagine having game-like troubleshooting scenarios for people to practice on, that would be really neat.
Their API is versioned (the json api version happened to be v2). But they don't feel the need to build a brand new v3 just to chase a moving target, especially since customers (and they themselves) are already using their v2.
This was obviously not the stated position, and you are being deliberately disingenuous by portraying it as such.

"It's the dose that makes the poison" - that's a fairly accurate statement. Every industry uses chemicals that are potentially harmful, and we accept that as a trade-off for the benefits they offer.

The same applies to RoundUp. Is the benefit it offers to agriculture worth the risk? Can exposure be controlled in such a way that the risk is ameliorated? There's a cost-benefit analysis to be performed there.

Point is, stating that RoundUp is possibly carcinogenic is useful information – but it doesn't mean its better to immediately stop use of it. It also doesn't mean that Monsanto "knowingly market[ed] a poisonous, carcinogenic substance", as you stated. It does mean that use of the substance may potentially need to be re-evaluated, but preposterous jumping to conclusion of the sort you exhibited is what's killing political debate worldwide.
Ok this may be kind of stupid, but my primary reason for not switching over to jupyter lab (from notebooks) was the right-click menu wouldn't let me copy images (plotting outputs typically) from the in-line output. However I found out today that it has always been available if you hold shift...so if that was anyone's issue this is a great time to give JupyterLab another shot!

Various sources from the past couple years cite between $34,000 and $37,000.

More than two-thirds of the population of the earth makes less than $1,000 a year, so this shouldn't be very surprising.
there are a lot of people in the "not that great" and "still into it I guess" camps. Those just don't make headlines. Also, some morons can only read headlines. Don't worry, the world is not as idiotic as the headline writers and readers.

Nice response, and I agree with a lot of it. Particularly, I think this is key: "This is why good software developers hate working in these places. It would be like a fine watch craftsman going to work on the Timex digital watch assembly line at Foxconn." For an individual developer, OO can be restrictive and prevent them from writing their best code. This tends to make us argue against OO on various (legitimate) technical bases but for an organization the (perceived) weight of the pros will tend to be for OO and the cons are not seen to make for enough of an actual bottleneck on peoples abilities.
Why does that fastcodesign site request JS access to my geolocation?!
In a sense you do. Most OO languages like Java are procedural languages as well. But OO offers the "advantages" of bundling everything in a given work-unit together. While something like C may leak state or names all over the place and you end up with similar/same methods being improperly used and that all needs to be tracked or disambiguated somehow.

Lots of people consider namespacing and packaging up your source well as a way to do this. I think that works up to a point, but once you start hitting really big projects, I think the way that Java enforces and cleans up some of this optional stuff and makes these things as part of the language makes it a little more natural. Instead of having to be careful about your work (meaning if you aren't something will go wrong), you simply have to do the best practice to make progress. On smaller projects, where the manager can review every commit, every line of code, every way that work was done, and can enforce a cohesive and singular idea about how it should be done, it can work. But once the scope expands beyond what one management drone can handle it starts to become something that falls into the next layer of Management Science abstraction.

tl;dr Making things that are optional in some languages into requirements (or the code won't work) seems to have been a good optimization.
I don't think its really that much to do with research and implementation and more about the goals of AI in games. Mostly its the illusion of intelligence while not actually being intelligent.

I was reading about game AI again just yesterday and an exmaple of this is in this aigamedev.com article about things you can learn from Halo's AI, they say that "when you make the AI tougher (e.g. with more health points), the players believe they are smarter": http://aigamedev.com/open/review/halo-ai/

Game AI is a careful balance between:

1. Providing a challenge
2. Not being too difficult to be frustrating
3. The *illusion* of intelligence

Non of these really have much to do with "AI" as such and certainly don't need fancy implementations or research.

For shooters, being a good shot and having fast reaction time (ie things that make a good player) make for frustratingly terrible AI (and is super easy to implement). What makes a shooter AI feel smart is advanced combat tactics: teamwork, flanking, tricks to flush their enemy out, whatever. A lot of this can be implemented as a mix between behaviour trees and pre-scripted events. But as the Halo guys say, if the enemies don't live long enough for this to be visible, then it doesn't actually matter.

Having said that, I personally wish games had more of an A-Life simulation (agapos mentioned Stalker, a game whose AI I quite liked). Combat tactics is nice and all, but I want the games to feel alive when I'm not fighting the inhabitants. This, I believe, is where realistic interesting AI comes in.
Anyone using secure high quality self-hosted collaboration software that supports chat, file transfers and video chat all-in-one?
If you think of it like a bunch of cells like minesweeper, where the temperature differential is a function of #of neighbouring air cells - corners are going to cool much faster!
Maybe wording that explains better what each of them does? Like "Create a new account" and "Log into my account"?

Wouldn't fit in the UI as designed unless you broke each button into two lines though.
Which is also why cooling things down in space is a unique challenge. There’s nothing to carry the heat away from whatever it is you’re trying to cool.

Mental self-care and acceptance of negative experiences. Working out in small areas/body weight exercises. Cooking on a budget. Getting out of your own head and own problems and into thinking about other people, is also immensely psychologically healthy.
There was a thread on 4chan covering possible jobs during the Apocalypse.

I'm empathetic about your experience but I have been using Julia in production (financial services use case) for over 2 years and it's absolutely working great for us - developer productivity, performance, etc. We are not stopping and writing more Julia code at the moment.

To be honest, you can incur technical debt with any language. Software must be designed and maintained properly if you need a long-lasting solution. Research projects are also different than production code. Proper training and involvement with the developer community could help a lot.

My suggestion to everyone reading this thread - if you are new to Julia programming and need to work on a production project, do talk to Julia Computing folks. Their consultants can lead you to the right track. In addition, join the Julia Slack and Discourse community. You can almost get instant answers to anything you ask there.

Lastly, here's a selfish plug to my book: Hands-on Design Patterns and Best Practices with Julia https://www.amazon.com/Hands-Design-Patterns-Julia-comprehen...
I actually think the market is already somewhat pricing in the possibility of those drugs working, and that it will drop more after we find out it’s success is overblown.
Doesn't that kinda negate the goal of using a fake birth date? After all, they don't really care whether you give your real birth date, it's enough that it is the same on that other website they get your personal information from to correlate.

What's that good for?
>Didn't they learn their lesson from the Silicon Valley exodus?

The people spamming the "raise taxes" button have seen the seeds of their ideology spread far and wide with the "silicon valley exodus". In light of that, why would they stop?
I think prevalent ADHD self-diagnosis (and doctor-assisted over-diagnosis) kind of devalues the sheer amount of hard work most people put in to achieve good things in life.

When I hear "it's so easy for you but I cannot concentrate on boring things because I have ADHD", it's REALLY hard to not get viscerally defensive, although I rationally understand that there could really be very rare medical conditions in play.
I'd be interested to see the crime stats from the last year to today - from the sentiment I've seen on social media it appears violence has been increasing since the Jul 2 your source article was posted. Add to that they slashed the police budget on Jul 1[1] I think the OP may have a valid point.

I feel the same way. I like simple frameworks like Flask, Starlette, or FastAPI. Django feels too heavy for me, though I get why people like it. Maybe I haven't learned it well enough, but I often feel like I'm having to do weird things or fight the framework to get done what I need. Simpler frameworks fit my mental model better.

Actually, most of the people in question are already well along that career path and working for contracting firms. It's just not a career path that that lets them leave direct or indirect government work.

Who, other than a government, is going to pay you well to find vulnerabilities in popular software? Google's Project Zero belongs to the incredibly small set of programs in that area that isn't a joke.
Common lisp.

The tooling makes the language tangible. paredit. eval as you write with SLIME. completion with SLIME. macros. It feels like you are working with something alive and can hold it in your hands, rather than just plain text.

Other langs get 1 or 2 of the nice tools but never all of them. The parenthesis are a chore at first, but after paredit they are an asset, ironically making it easier to write than any other syntax I've found.

Clojure is ok, but just isn't there with tooling. Also it requires project structure. Feels like a loss of freedom against the JVM as a dependency. With Common Lisp you can just open a buffer and get hacking, and outperform the JVM to boot!
