Reasonably, you can probably expect $80K-$95K, over six figures if you shop around. Or I could make you an offer for maybe $60K. (send me an email, it's in my profile) I can put you in touch with a great recruiting firm. But since you have the time to look around, you should start coming to the meetups, there's usually a good turnout. Everyone I meet there is working at a company that's looking for at least one dev.
OK, sure. But the parent didn't say "keeping information on me that should it be illegally released might cause me shame" though, he said shaming and the context was present tense.
Reducing world hunger isn't just about growing more food. It also involves working towards more harmony between and within nations - which requires money, time, and effort. There's certainly a diminish returns factor there - regardless of resources used, people aren't going to be all chummy tomorrow. But it's also a false equation to pit space money versus food money (in the US), as you'd have an easier time trimming fat out of the military budget.
I have been looking for how they make those ridiculous user interfaces in movies forever

Thank you!
It is dubious whether Linus would be more productive using LISP. I mean, git is based around the idea of being super close to the metal, with a consistant focus on speed. We are talking about people who say (and can reasonably claim !) that java is too slow because it does not support unsigned integers...

"being a genius programmer", whatever that means, is not a one dimension thing, and people can excel at some things while sucking at others: programming is very vast.

I don't know much about LISP, and have not data to believe (or not believe) the OP claim, but he is not alone in claiming that. For example, P. Norvig has also described how he was surprised that people could be as productive in C++ as in LISP when he arrived at google (I think it was in coders at work ? He made a slightly differente claim concerning the unimportance of language on HN as well (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1803815).
cool, is that in cocoa?

for some reason I draw a distinction between "development" and writing little utilities for personal use, maybe because my little utilities aren't as pretty.
Just to be clear, I'm actually annoyed when something pops up telling me i've won a trophy for doing something that just seems to be a part of the game.

However, they've grown rampant, and it seems like any modern games support them. They must be pretty important to a good portion of people out there then.
I worked at a large enterprise software company and it was actually fairly easy to tell. The reason is that management had implemented a Scrum system with two-week sprints. What this meant is that we planned out what we could do for the next two weeks on the first day of the sprint, including doing estimates of the tasks. Then at the end of the week we would look back and double check that we got everything done and try to figure out why we were off if were (but they never figured it out).

When doing group estimates, it's not hard to start to see who is struggling to finish their tasks at the end of the week and who is finishing with time to spare. You can also tell who is giving QA headaches with all their bugs and who is saving QA time. A lot of the people didn't realize they were doing it, but you could tell QA would base their estimates partially on who was going to be on the coding portion, and it was very easy to get a sense of who was able to get tasks done faster than you thought you would be able to and who was slower.

The worst was the programmers that needed the other programmers to help them out almost every sprint. Management liked it. They said it was a good sign because it showed what a team we were.
They would only compress well if you stored them in plaintext...
Something that might be neat is if you could embed the JS part of the plugin into the product page so that people could play around with it on some pre-defined images to get a feel for how it works.
I was treated poorly and mocked at an interview for wearing a sports coat over my jeans and t-shirt. Just can't win sometimes. In the end, not the kind of place I wanted to work.
I really love the Porsche Taycan, but Tesla's expansive charging network ties me to the Model S.
Sounds like a reaction to the recent interview of the famous game repackager Fitgirl
My understanding is that each legislator is like an independent client and is able to run basically whatever IT they want as far as the unclassified (yet still sensitive of course) stuff goes. Given that, I'm betting the shared IT group is basically just recommending best practices and hoping people are listening.
I'd go as far as to say that 3.5" floppy's were much more widespread than for instance usb sticks are today and in numbers that has no comparable to this age(thankfully). The world basically ran on it until windows 95 came on a CDROM (also distributed on 13 floppys) and with it the multimedia age as they called it, but still it took a good decade before it was mostly CD/DVD's..
Can you create two dummy accounts that you give full admin access to the first account? It's kind of a dumb hack but seems straightforward?
Exactly.

Well intentioned people if incompetent at worst accomplish nothing and if competent do great things. However, ill-intentioned people if incompetent accomplish nothing and if competent can do massive amounts of irreversible damage.
Agreed. The lack of feedback is slightly troubling when you think you see one, as is the inability to reposition or remove a dot. Still, it's quite a bit of fun.
Or at least now maybe there is room for change.
Because they, and the other companies who used the exact same terminology, never said what they meant by "direct."
i think there is a whole big unexplored story with the "black" ... err ..."Special Source Operations" money what NSA pays to Google/FB/etc... for their services in secret programs like PRISM - for example how the companies "launder" the money so they can be reported [to SEC, etc...] as part of the "white" revenue. Or may be this money not reported? Special secret exception in special secret GAAP/SEC rules? "excluding special one-time non-GAAP items and secret revenue from NSA our earnings is ..." :)

For example, government agencies buying "likes" from FB - seems like a perfect way to pay for PRISM participation using kosher looking transactions.

> What we need is not more programmers. What we need is to enable non-programmers to participate in the creation process, not just the ideation process

Why don't we need more programmers participating in the ideation process, not just the creation process?
Who knows? What I do know is that this is exactly what I was hearing in the late 90's.
Short version; our author objects to how SourceForge has been monetizing their traffic.

I didn't particularly like the tone, it seemed pretty mocking to me. I did not feel like that was called for.

I will suggest that at some point, if you live long enough, you will cross paths with someone you knew as a young person, someone you liked and respected, who was either charged with robbery or who was earning money in a way that you don't condone. I would ask that you judge carefully at that point. It happened to me when I drove by a friend from high school who was in the median strip asking stopped traffic for money.

Living in the world requires things, supplies, water, food, housing. Unless you can make those things on your own, you're stuck trading money for them. And to trade money, you have to get money. The longer you don't have enough money the lower and lower your standards tend to go. Some folks sadly decide to simply stop trying and check out of the system permanently. Life is real.

So when you see a site like SourceForge, you might ask what happened, or perhaps what changed, but it doesn't get you any points for judging them harshly for trying to survive. GitHub is the new hawtness and I love what those folks are doing, but I've not seen the press release that says they are operationally profitable yet, or even cash flow positive. That will change, and when it changes you may see them having to push "partner" software your way, they may have some other plan by then, or they may just sort of evaporate in some giant acqui-hire [1].

[1] Personally I think that Github being bought by, or displaced by, an infrastructure service play like Amazon's AWS is the most likely outcome.
To me that is part of an idea. You can build something to show what channel the Yankees are playing but how do you get enough people to reach a mass to start selling other products or advertising? That's the real problem you start tackling
Sometimes it's not extremely expensive to get started, but it very time consuming. Does that mean you’re more/less committed than another entrepreneur who has spent a ton of money getting a company rolling? I think a person’s answer to these questions can tell what they value more. Additionally, I always have a hard time considering someone to be uncommitted to a startup if they are working a separate full time job to support their family. Whenever I come across that argument, I can’t help but think: Just imagine what I’ll be able to do when I’m working 100 hours/week for my company rather than 60 for my company and 40 for another…
There's nothing silly about it. Chipsets these days are so cheap and common, that it'd be really hard to find one that can't be a "PC". Modern HDMI with HDR/Dolby/compression is already pretty complex and requires quite a bit of software/firmware. Even if most of the processing was done with DSPs, I assume it'd be hard to manage all of that without any CPU.

And if you wanted anything nicer, like streaming media straight from a NAS, "casting" to the TV, or Bluetooth speakers, then it'd need a non-trivial OS anyway (and there's nothing wrong with such features when they're not used as an excuse for DRM and surveillance).
A lot of the comments in this thread confirm that a) the Internet and social media are problems that distract us, and b) there are ways to fight the addictive behaviors they encourage. They can be made succinctly.

(I agree with both points, and admire those who attempt to regain control of their attention.)

This comment is about the tone of the post in The Paris Review. There's a kind of elegiac primitivism circulating among the cultural elite that rubs me wrong, both in Birkerts and the contemporary reviewer.

The constant evocation of "loss" associated with some intangible trauma seems like a cheap trick to hack our empathy. By cheap trick, I mean, "a trick that a lot of people use, which like Hollywood's emotional manipulations, is getting old."

One hallmark of this genre is that an essay that seems like it's about one thing ("reading in an age of distraction"), is really about the author's "I", a foray into autobiography. Another hallmark is that it says nothing new. It is completely safe, a piece of writing well within the received wisdom. Readers of The Paris Review would be hard pressed to object to any substantial point the writer made, except, maybe, that those points did not need making to that audience.

I hope that we get more people working on tools and methods that save us from the Internet, and fewer posts asking for our attention while they lament it.
I hate to give homework to other people but I suggest you expand this out: udemy class, booklet, or a series of blog posts with tasteful ads.

Ideally, you would get it to the point where a newbie can use it as a reference.
This shouldn't be up to Spotify – it should be illegal for apps to listen to people's conversations unless explicit to the user every time (eg; phone calls, voice memos), even if the contents of the conversation aren't sent off-device.

There is widespread suspicion that Facebook Inc already does this (they deny it, but I've heard and experienced too many anecdata to believe them).

Speaking as someone who can at times be a targeted-ads apologist, conversation-snooping software is an abhorrent invasion of privacy that I can't imagine anyone would be happy with.
All of my Infocom games were on bootleg floppies that came with the second-hand Commodore 128 my dad bought for the family when I was a kid. Thankfully at least Zork included some photocopied maps and manuals buried in the pile of papers and user guides that also accompanied the computer.

Still a bit sad that "Hitchhiker's" wasn't in the box of questionable disks we got, but "Planetfall" seemed to be inspired by the story (at least the beginning when you're on the ship, ducking Ensign Blather and trying to avoid death in a safety webbing).
> Honest to god, we drove Corolla and Camry’s. FWD. it’s good.

Great. Glad to hear that works well enough for y'all. Speaking from firsthand experience living in the Sierra Nevada mountains (first Truckee, now Reno), though, such cars have a much harder time here. Main thing is the not-so-flat terrain: being able to distribute horsepower across all four tires helps quite a bit in getting up hills (I've watched plenty of sedans helplessly slide back down even mild grades, tires spinning away, where proper 4WD/AWD vehicles - mine included - had no trouble at all). Even on flat ground, having all four tires producing power makes it a lot easier to get moving, and a lot easier to escape from an uncontrolled slide. FWD is certainly better than nothing, sure, but I wouldn't be picking it over 4WD any time soon.

That is:

> The thing that you want in the snow are snow tires. They cost $500. That’s it.

Snow tires and 4WD/AWD address different aspects of snow driving. Snow tires (or chains) help you stop. 4WD or AWD help you go. Both help you turn. Both are pretty important if you don't want to be stuck in some snowdrift. And all bets are off if it's ice rather than snow.

Also, in at least some parts of the US (incl., again from first-hand experience, I-80 through the Sierra Nevadas), 4WD/AWD and snow tires are mandatory if you don't want to chain up (up to the maximum chain control level, at which point chains are mandatory no matter what, but usually roads close entirely before that point). So if you expect to drive under chain control conditions, most people are gonna just opt for the 4WD rather than worry about having to chain up.

> Hell, sometimes we don’t even put the snow tires on. I haven’t in the past two winters.

It's pretty hard to not buy all-weather (i.e. marked "M+S" for mud+snow) tires nowadays (at least for SUVs and trucks; not sure about smaller vehicles), so I ain't too surprised that you'd be able to get away with this.
> disproportionately harm trans people and be used to emotionally manipulate all of us

I see this claim frequently being made in such contexts, but it's never explained. Spotify playing music that matches your mood hurts trans people?
In many places electricity or propane delivered by truck are the only options, aside from burning wood.
When I lived in Alameda, I was trying to develop a tiny home commnunity, working with some manufacturers of high quality tiny homes...

I hit roadblocks when I spoke to the city of alameda regarding their zoning laws, which required a certain square footage for any given home. IIRC it was >2,000SF per lot for a single home.

Further, if one was to build a shared infrastructure system (power, sewer, water, internet) upon which multiple building could be erected - It needed to have a single uniform entrance. So you couldnt build multiple building with their own discreet entrance as that would count as "multi building" and violates the zoning law.

There were some on the city council at the time (2013) that were trying to get this changed but it never happened - the Alameda City Council is rather corrupt for various reasons...

But the zoning law precluded anyone from doing anything progressive.
What old browsers are you talking about?

It seems to me the only browsers not supporting any SVG are ones you'd expect in a computer museum, but not in active use.
> We don’t live in a hunter gatherer society anymore, we just don’t.

What you describe isn't a "hunter gatherer society" issue. It's an innate human/pre-human/primate issue. Throughout human existence and our pre-human ancestor's existence, the infant/baby is with the mother 24/7 for the first few months/years of its life. This is something that stretches back millions of years. We really don't know what effects separating the baby from the mother at such an early age does for its emotional, psychological, etc development. Not to mention the mother's emotional, psychological, etc well being and of course the mother-child bonding.

> The baby cried and cried and cried.

It would be shocking if it started to lecture you on the pros and cons of the modern geopolitical world order. That a baby cried is par for the course.

> Just raise your kids with love. Be compassionate, and patient.

Unless you need a good night's sleep? This is comes off as new age nonsense we just love in the US. It's trite and meaningless. Of course you raise it with love, it's your kid. Rather than the obvious, we should
raise kids so that they are well prepared to compete and fend for themselves in the real world.
I think that depends more on the parent than it does the restaurant. It is possible to fit fast food in to a healthy diet, just like it's also possible to eat fruits and vegetables in an unhealthy way[0]. A weekly treat sounds squarely within the realm of moderation to me... that's what, 5% of a weekly diet?

Not everyone's interest or goal is "using their platform", this thread is about being judged by the merits of their marketable skills

we can all perceive the involvement of big tech in 100 applications simultaneously, including the 2 or 3 government contracts you referred to. this isn't the thread for that and you are trying to shoehorn your platform into it

this isn't apathy on our part, its maturity on our part
oh I think you're right, I misread
Anything similar out there for Asciidoc? Currently using the VS Code plugin.
Others have pointed out the historical nature of this policy, so I won't dwell there.

But instead I do want to highlight that a key aspect of our legal segregation regime was enacting policies that did not appear to be explicitly racist, so that they could achieve buy-in from moderates who might not share the racist aims. (The secondary benefit is that they were more resilient to legal challenges.)

So your response makes absolute sense: there are reasons for wanting to live in a less-developed SFH community. But there are also valid-sounding reasons that we might want voters to have to put a few dollars up as skin in the game before casting votes. Or why we might want to make sure voters meet some literacy requirements before voting. Et cetera.

This is about a 100-year-old policy. It's not crazy to raise aspects from the history of US housing policy in this discussion.
Multicolor, gradients and animation are more reasons to use SVG. Pretty amazing what’s doable nowadays.

I can see his point in a broader context but marketing departments aren't typically staffed by folks with a PHD in theoretical physics and I'd be surprised if consumers expect to be educated by advertisements. Often it seems they buy into the marketing hype as feature of the product they are buying.
Thanks. You are correct. http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/41653/

It would be akin to directly running Java bytecode as machine code on the processor.
I think the grandparent meant for the comment to be taken in jest.
Apparently Glen Beck mentioned it.

The ability to use Python (instead of C, C++, or some flavor of assembly) on small chips and microcontrollers.
I doubt that makes it OK to remove an important work of literature and replace it with a more important one, neither.
Huh? I don't have any problems with Gmail under Opera.
As for the "who downvoted" I guess it was someone who thinks that it's Google that should be blamed for most of "the problems" with Google's services under Opera. It's a browser that's very standard compliant and yet they don't even let you do such silly thing as changing background image on Google's front page (and of course it works fine if only you mask Opera as Firefox).
No, because as soon as their power eclipses that of governments, governments will regulate them down to a manageable amount of influence. Governments don't like to be upstaged, and they have the F-16s.

How many Android users ever get updates, though?

All the time, a lot of functionality is updated through Google Play services, and many of the apps are updated outside the OS.

Google claims that and yet when I used that feature across my work and personal computers I found that it often would duplicate my bookmarks or delete the bookmarks within folders, this was on XP and OS X. Back to XMarks and manual backups.

Am I missing something or is this code defining "global scope" functions whose names include things like a, b, i, p, command, etc...?

What are the chances that such global names will collide with something else?
You do realize that what I wrote was in reply to somebody else's comment, not yours, right? I guess it's time to run for the exits when folks who don't understand how a discussion forum works are leaving finance for software engineering. I mean, if you can't figure out how to read a hierarchical comments structure, how in the world are you going to get your head around recursion?
No Go is clearly for Rubyists/Pythonists . Java programmers will hate Go for its lack of classes,generics and other stuff like that.
It would be great to have this in interview transcript form, like the Founders at Work book. I push that onto all sorts of people. Founders at Work 2.0 is definitely a must-do project, even if it's just a blog series and not a dead-tree publication.

It already looks like a hassle to sign up. The onboarding for Periscope is so slick, they take advantage of your Twitter account for one-step signup. I was watching streams in mere seconds.
It does a cmp+setz, which isn't a branch (and I believe is constant-time). An x86 branch would be cmp+jne or something similar.
This we agree on.
