While I enjoy working from home (fewer distractions and interruptions) I miss the social aspect of the office. I consider many of my colleagues friends and having the occasional beer after work, coffee maker chit-chat and common lunch breaks added a lot of texture to my life as a "worker".
A more interesting and controversial question might be: "Does American football in college, an extremely expensive sport which causes incremental permanent brain damage, sap the intellectual potential of humanity?"
A machine learning kit that has been designed from the ground up to include everything you need to train machine learning models in Lobe and deploy them to a Raspberry Pi.
If you're skeptical, I was too.

My thoughts before reading the README.md: SQL is nice and all but seems verbose and awkward compared to just using find.

My thoughts after reading the README.md: Wow, this tool can query on file format-specific metadata such as ID3 tags in mp3 files and even width/height in pictures. This is really neat. There is a lot of possibility here.
But all those competitors are based on Chromium and therefore not really independent. Not sure if this matters in a potential antitrust suit?
20 years experienced self taught Dev here. And still learning.

The best analogy I can get with programming is to compare it with lawyers.

It takes 7 years to become a lawyer's, and it takes about the same to become a senior programmer.( Assuming 7 years of work experience with a mentor ).

Now, lawyers all have a field, family laws, international laws, constitutional laws, corporate laws. Ask a lawyer who did all his career in corporate law to have a go at a divorce hearing... He will be miserable, and fail.

Programming is similar. You can hear a good lawyer talk and win a case, and it looks easy. But it's not easy.

How many case did he lost before, how many failures.... And now many hours of study did he spent to make sure the argument is a winner?

And where I resonated with in this blog post, is the arrogance and the entitlement of some of those junior programmer, specially in the front-end web industry, who claim to be senior.

I once worked with a 22yo kid who was paid as much as I did, and couldn't write a loop.... He was just a good talker and negociator. 1000$/day to write CSS is really a failure from recruiters and the whole business in general. When juniors think they are senior, they usually take the lead, and the projects goes direction 'fucked'.

And now being good at programming also means being able to get rid of those parasites , which is not eqsy- as their capacity to argue and convince is inversely proportional to their capacity to deliver quality working code.
Obliquely, the AOL/ Time-Warner merger...
Well, yes, because people continued to purchase things that were made in ways that had a fossil fuel footprint–be it meat or clothing or consumer electronics. The issue with the fossil fuel footprint is not "big companies shouldn't guilt you into reducing your carbon emissions", it should be "carbon footprints are not holistic enough to capture the full supply chain of how your choices emit carbon" and "large carbon emitters that are not meaningfully affected by the market should be taxed so that their externalities become apparent".
Sure. Make it yourself. Very easy. In several of my companies we would create our own business layer, without the SAP bullshit.

It's cheaper, it's faster, it doesn't need training and cheat cards, it's self explanatory, and you can maintain it by yourself. Plus you know it inside out. Plus you can add much better features, like graphical reports on top of it easier.
it's probably dnssec & your time is probably off.

jorunalctl -xe should be showing errors if so. probably check 'joirnalctl -xeu systemd-resolved'

use 'date' to check the time. if it's off, I use ntpdate to update my clock. but since dns isn't resolving I use 'dig pool.ntp.org @9.9.9.9' to resolve a ntp pool server ip address. then ntpdate [that up].

one of those things that hits me a bunch that I haven't automated quite yet. supposedly newer systemd can detect dnssec being bad in some cases & disable it, after a time, after a bunch of failures, but it either hasn't tripped in a number of cases for me or something else was odd in my envs. manually syncing the clock via ntp usually gets my dns working again.

The problem with the analysis is that it's treating shooting a basketball as a stochastic process, but it isn't. Flipping a coin is random, while shooting a basketball is a skill that requires athletic ability. The analysis treats all shots the same, when in fact sometimes a player may be off balance, or rushed, or tired, or any other number of physical and/or mental factors than cannot be accounted for simply by check marks.

Anybody who has ever played sports in any sort of competitive environment has had moments when they are "on", whether it's basketball, golf, curling, whatever. Movement becomes easier. Shooting feels effortless. The game "slows down". The converse also happens, when everything feels labored and overwhelming.

Furthermore, the analysis focuses on "streak" in a very literal sense, as in runs of the same outcome that end when another outcome occurs, but the term used by sports fans often applies in a broader sense. One typically refers to streaky players as those who tend to be either very productive or very unproductive for extended periods of time, such as a game or a half, or maybe even over the course of several games.
All the queries were dynamically built just by using the Object Relational metadata. The only setup needed was to map the schema, which there was a GUI tool for. (Not graphical, just GUI.) Do you think something like that could sell?

The decline started years ago with the "Wait five seconds and we will redirect you to the real download page" filled with fake download buttons describing "Tired of waiting? DOWNLOAD" et cetera. They never improved their core product (repositories are still hell to navigate through) and only added interface elements and tweaked the UI to get you to.click on ads. A shame, because before that Sourceforge was the go-to place to download homebrew, free alternatives to proprietary software.

Github is great, but as it looks right now they fail to pull in those big legacy software packages. Their main audience seems to be web dev.

You forgot the part where you may buy a replacement bottle of water inside the airport for $3.
Yeah, it isn't really that profitable, especially given that a large portion of US gas is effectively land-locked. Put in some transmission to ports and a few LNG terminals / ships, and US gas will reach some equilibrium with European/Asian prices.

In the U.S. the major benefit to Diesel is torque.

You should try comparing diesel and gas models as equally equipped as possible and see what the cost per mile is.

I just bought a 2.5L Subaru Outback, if we had the 2.0L diesel version I would save about $500 over 100,000 miles.

That's not great in my book. Would I buy a diesel Tacoma if one was available? Yes. So I'm a diesel fanboy, but the economics are closer than we think.
I personally think it's invalid to say "This wouldn't have happened under Steve" because it's impossible to falsify or verify. I think what people think someone else would have done, particularly someone they admire, is subject to a host of cognitive biases that say more about the speaker than the subject.

Your point about airing grievances is unrelated to kaolinite's point. kaolinite pointed out that when those individuals expressed regret, it was for reasons that did not fit the narrative you established in your essay. That you feel these individuals should not feel such regret is unrelated to whether or not it fits your narrative.
So Cameron wants to ban encryption and send the whole nation's Internet activity through Chinese monitors. Maybe he's just really admires China.
> When the kid asked him what were maths used for, he answered : « and you, what are you used for? »

I think there's more than one way to read that statement. It seems overly cynical to interpret that anecdote as implying that children have no use (present or future); I think the implication is that while they may have no present use, they will have future use when they develop into adults.

Similarly, new branches of mathematics or space science might not be used for much today, but will develop into fields that have uses in the future. Just as humans must invest in rearing their children, so too must they invest in developing their science and math.

Not everyone is effective at solving every problem. I don't know anything about agriculture or logistics or politics or many other fields that would be needed to begin to tackle hunger in other countries, or even my own country. I solve the problems that I know how to solve, and we all cooperate as a society. The technology developed in one field like robotics or global positioning makes other fields like agriculture more effective (automated farming machinery). It would be shortsighted to suggest that everyone put their field on hold and inefficiently try to tackle world hunger. A better question is "do we have the right amount of people and resources dedicated to solving world hunger?" which gets back to the budgetary and governance matters discussed in the letter.

I don't think it's true that a rocket scientist necessarily "doesn't give a crap about starving children in Africa". It's probably more that he doesn't know anything about the issue and has no expertise with which to solve the problem, and so he focuses on problems that he can solve, like launching satellites for weather, communication, GPS, which may in turn assist people in other countries with problems like food distribution. Without the rocket scientists, satellite equipment shuts down, and everyone in every field is worse off. We should trust to the natural equilibrium and distribution of human interest, balancing that with the government we've created, to make sure that problems get solved adequately -- we should not judge people for the field that they've chosen if it contributes to society.

Even fields like computer science, as applied to building Internet forums like this one, contribute in their own way by bringing people together and allowing them to have discussions like this.

>If they don't have the morals not to cheat in the MILITARY, what makes you think they are trustworthy to consider the consequences of pushing the button on a nuclear missile?

The military is not interested in your morals, they are interested in your following the orders that you are given. Teamwork breaks down when people question orders, and timing matters during operations.

Yes, there are a small handful of cases throughout history where a lone solider disobeyed / questioned orders and came out ahead. I can't know for certain, but I'm willing to bet that many, many more soldiers who've done this either got their squadmates killed, lost their ass afterwards, or both.
Man will not survive in space

Come on, it's 2015. Can we please stop with this sexist rhetoric? Particularly if you're talking about survival of the species, which definitely needs both genders.
I'm not sure I follow you. How does erring on the side of leaving a question open leave more questions unanswered or unasked?
Or, in slightly different words, "understand it" or "test the hell out of it".

I'll update the article.

1.21 gigawatts? Do you have any idea how much energy that is? The only power source capable triggering that kind of energy is a bolt of lightning. It would have to be a real wall-shaker, big enough to stop a clock!

(I mean this as purely a bit of comic relief. Texas is in dire straits right now, and I wish the people and infrastructure all the best in this time.)
Didn't they add lambdas to C?
It's grand solar minimum, industry not preparing infra for cold snaps, uniformed population who gave up their incandescent bulbs (heaters) for LEDs and power hungry space heaters, people wasting energy. It's not just bad luck.

I did not used Delphi but did a a few Windows apps with C# and Windows Forms int he past, I am curious in the present day for Windows only dev what would be the advantage of using Delphi over C# with VS or Intellij.

Agreed, although I think this is a little disingenuous.

Not a total excuse, but they don't have email addresses for all their users (it wasn't a required field).

Because for a given timestamp, the iphone logs dozens of cell towers. So while you might be able to tell I was in Pittsburgh on Monday, you won't be able to figure out what address I was at.
There's also C++ implementations like boost::asio which would work and scale just fine too. There was a HN post discussing Alex Payne's blog on how node.js is "scaling in the small."

Is the article saying anything is 'right' or 'wrong'?
Yeah, I believe so. They pull some additional tricks to keep the scroll bar from going crazy, probably by (I'm guessing) measuring the height of the segments being removed from the DOM and then explicitly padding things to match that size dynamically.

There's a more general principle here where, once you start trying to override core browser behaviors, you usually end up with a never-ending rabbit hole of corner cases that you now have to cover yourself that used to be handled for free (and probably with better performance, and stability, and accessibility...), and an ensuing complexity-explosion in your code. I won't say it's never worth it, but it's something you should really really put a lot of thought into before you go down that road. All other options should be exhausted first.
One thing that GCP is far better at is account setup. Having everything nested under a single gsuite organization with folders and projects and IAM flowing through is incredibly easy to work with and makes permissions simpler to understand. AWS has a long ways to go in this regard.
Please have a look at the browser lists linked in the parent post again. SVG enjoys better browser support than the web fonts being discussed here. I am also wondering which old browsers you're talking about.
> we just cant build cool shit anymore

I sadly agree. Unis spend so much time teaching CAD software, processes, etc, you wonder how much understanding engineering grads actually have. I just think we've stagnated as a technological society. We rely so much on computers to do everything, that we can't innovate in the same way anymore. Unless our new x has an onboard super-computer, we just can't get it to do anything.
Ah I can see that, we've always had a pretty rigorously-respected bedtime routine.
Sounds like somewhat the TPP. I wonder what in the trade agreement made this a worthwhile compromise.
I'm not sure this is true, having worked in both the US and Europe. The US definitely talks about it more, often to an absurd excess. But I've seen far more real-life examples of casual racism in Europe, stuff that no one would even dream of saying or doing in the US. I'm not hanging out in terrible neighborhoods in either place.
I think that being skilled in the use of Google still gives you a huge competitive advantage over your peers. You'd be surprised how many people don't even think to search for answers to their problems.

No, they may render in iframes; iframes are certainly not a requirement for any of those features, and some (the original commenter included, I suspect) might consider them a heavy-handed approach to the problem.
Sad to see a great person like him leave us.

Anyone who travels on glaciers outside of tour groups is (or at least should be) trained in crevasse rescue. That's part of the deal of being on a rope team, everyone can rescue everyone else if one of them falls into a crevasse. These are skills you can master within 5-10 hours of practice. It isn't knowledge restricted to professional mountain guides or SAR folk.
Unfortunately, while I wish you were correct, you are not. I often wish ethics committees of state bars would adopt the ABA Criminal Justice Standards on the Prosecution Function, specifically Standard 3-4.3(a), but they have not. The ethical standard is "probable cause."

I haven't worked on anything related to Mars but have worked on the preliminary design of a camera system for the Artemis Moon mission.

Thermal design can be both surprisingly easy and surprisingly difficult. If the mission profile is cold-biased it's an "easy" matter of judiciously adding heating and insulation (to retain heat). Here "easy" is in quotes because nothing is trivial or truly easy in space.

If you have to deal with temperatures beyond the maximum thermal range of the design, sometimes the "easy" solution (again, in quotes) is to schedule shutdowns or duty cycle around thermal conditions. The power-down storage temperature of most devices is much higher than operating limits. Yes, you would need hardware that can deal with extremes in order to wake everything back up. That's where the rad-hard $300K microprocessors come into the fold.

At the same time, you'd be surprised how well some non-rad hard hardware can do in space. There are imaging satellites that basically use qualified COTS imaging sensors quite successfully.

The case is similar for dealing with radiation. Don't turn things on until you have to and, when you do, if you can, limit operating time to the absolute minimum.

There's a lot more to the art and science of making things for space, of course. Everything out there is actively trying to kill everything you send out there 100% of the time.
My phone number is a 10-digit number, the first 3 of which are an area code. It gets spam calls and texts (though that miraculously decreased on November 4th...) as it is. Now, combined with browser fingerprinting, perhaps this site can tie my specific 10-digit number to some other aspects of who I am, but I'll leave that part as an exercise for a willing volunteer. I'm not terribly concerned about entering my phone number, disconnected from other identifying information, into a random web site.

Convince me why I should be!

From the Wikipedia entry of this movie, it sounds like he killed someone while driving drunk. Hard to call that a "DUI."

Advised to take a plea deal due to him being under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident, Jacob is sentenced to 16 months at the California Institution for Men in Chino.
I think that depends on the state and details. If you're not in custody, the limit is generally measured in years.
