Hah, OK. Thought it maybe was a typical "you make so little?" sneering response Europeans often get from US developers in forums such as HN.

Which for some places in Europe it might be a good comparison, but for others making €40K a year might get you a far quality of life than what you get in the Bay area or the US in general for $100K (e.g. larger house, better savings, insurance, 4 weeks paid vacation, decent working hours, etc).
But also much more fragile. I've spent far too many hours in dependency hell on ruby / java projects when 2 packages required different versions of another package and you have to continually fiddle with versions to get them all working smoothly. I love that NPM packages have their own dependency tree so you're never stuck in that situation.

This is a bizarre article. The author seems to think that being a doctor, a lawyer, a management consultant or a dentist requires some kind of advanced interpersonal skills but this is not true at all.

The primary thing that qualifies to you become one of those is detailed technical knowledge and analytical skills, not too different from being a software engineer or a plumber. Virtually no one tries to become a doctor and drops out either at pre-med or in medical school because they realize they can't hack the social part of the job. There's a big difference between a job requiring social interactions and a job where you're primarily judged by social and interpersonal skills. If you place most jobs on the technical knowledge to the social skill spectrum, those jobs would be near the far technical end.

The author also seems to think that there was ever a point in time where social skills weren't extremely important. Management always paid very well and it's by definition a job that requires social skills. Jobs requiring primarily social skills and not much else are on a decline and also the types of social skills required in the marketplace have changed dramatically. The internet as a medium massively increases connectivity and discoverability, obsoleting a lot of shallower social skills, like comfort with making introductions and being a low-level connector because it's easier to find the people you need and verify their trustworthiness without having to rely on a connector. On the other hand, it's probably easier to build a truly massive network and those skills are probably valuable, even if they aren't similar to traditional social skills.

One major trend I see is that being book smart is more important than ever because more interaction is taking place over online and face-to-face interactions are becoming less necessary. This means understanding the medium and technology is more important than natural face-to-face social skills we learn when we're younger and also the ability to communicate concisely and precisely and the ability to predict its impact ahead of time are more important. Also the world is more complicated and simple technical knowledge is very easy to look up and learn - this makes advanced analytical and learning skills more important than simple, rote, static knowledge. Being a well-adjusted, normal, sociable and outgoing person, which I think most people would associate with "social skills" speaking colloquially, is less important than it has been for a while. The kind of social skills that get you paid well are more like the social skills that Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg have in abundance.

The other trend is that women are increasingly outperforming men at school, resulting in more book smart women. That bodes well for women, much more than the author's bizarre insistence that social skills are suddenly more important and that somehow women have better social skills than men, both of which are really questionable assertions.

I'm not sure you read the same apology I just did.

> SK: i dont want people to think i'm saying "i got caught being an asshole so i'm saying sorry"

> SK: i want to say "I was accidentally being an asshole so i'm sorry"

> So, I'll just leave it at that. Twitter makes it so hard not to accidentally be an asshole.

He's admitting that he was "being an asshole" and is trying to empathize.
"I'm sorry you were offended" means being offended was your choice. "I made someone feel terrible" means I did something bad to that person.

I'm not familiar with the JS community or Steve Klabnik in particular, but that's a pretty straightforward and sincere apology.

Windows 10 doesn't introduce a new strategy and doesn't involve a new business model. Microsoft is simply offering a free upgrade to earlier paid-for versions, partly to reduce market fragmentation and partly to try to create a market for new Windows Runtime apps distributed from the Windows Store.

Windows Runtime apps and the Windows Store were introduced with Windows 8. However, we now have "Universal" apps that are meant to run on smartphones, tablets, 2-in-1s, laptops, desktops etc, and the Xbox One games console.

More like: a sufficient number of independent agents (or aggregate populations behaving as an agent) behave irrationally often enough to make discrete predictions impossible.
This is a gross misinterpretation of what Google wrote which is :

My dad used to put this as "the older you get, the older you get." At first I thought this was just dad humor (as in, "the more you weigh, the heavier you are") but he explained the that the saying referred to life expectancy going up the longer you survived common "bottlenecks". Obviously at some point the longer you live raises the chances of death but earlier in life, as you get past birth, childhood diseases, the higher risks of adolescence, and work- or war-related injury/death as a young adult, your statistical life expectancy goes up.

Personally, I'd say that the front-end tooling ecosystem constitutes the "killer app":

- Minification: Uglify

- Transpilation: Babel/TypeScript/CoffeeScript

- JS Module Systems: Require/Browserify/Webpack/JSPM

- CSS preprocessors: Less/Sass/Stylus

- Linting: JSHint/ESLint/CSSLint

If you're using a lot of front-end tools, you're using Node. And if you're using Node, you might as well use it to write your APIs.

"I will be honest. I use ghost as my blogging platform for about a year, and in comparison to wordpress... it just doesn't hold up. Everything from stuff as big as upgrading, mid range as plugins, and even simple things like spell check were overlooked (at least in the version I have). It kind of reminds me of the Pepsi Vs. Coke test. Went to it for that initial appeal of simplicity.. and now am very dissatisfied due to how much its lacking."

PHP today is overwhelmingly being used to augment/modify:

> Wordpress, drupal, magento, phabricator, mediawiki, sugarcrm...

Very few apps are built from scratch using PHP unless the intention is to share the application code like wordpress, drupal, etc.

On Node, you're almost always building from scratch, rather than creating plugins for an existing application.

Sure I am out of touch of reality and I need to read up. I watched in horror as the 800000 troops coerced millions to vote for a sham government while killing innocent children who refused to vote. Meanwhile Pakistani army had been sending flowers from across the border which resulted in some people dying. Some people from Pakistan cross over from time to time to deliver those flowers personally defying the evil Indian army which also drowned Kashmiris in the recent floods.

Flowerpots are hurled at Indian Army by fringe elements which results in casualties of evil Indian Army persons. A new trend has been seen in the peace loving Kashmiris led by ISI agents in disguise, who chose not to participate in the elections and instead have been seen showing the most peaceful organisation ISIS's flag to the media and the evil army.

Ok enough with the sarcasm, a minister of the elected government (who belongs to Kashmir) recently appeared on a television program to complaint about the media. She said the media only shows the 4k separatists (ISIS lovers) in the news and not the 4000k people who voted and want tourism from the rest of the country. I am more likely to believe her than the propaganda spewed by a random commenter.

"Believing an action is a good idea or in your best interests when it actually isn't, or basing decisions on a warped perception of reality, is pretty much a textbook case of acting irrationally."

No. It is not. This is just a flawed definition you have invented on the go.

The people at Rapa NUI were totally rational about destroying trees to build Moais, because their model of the word implied God wanted that.

If the God Rapa Nui people believed in actually existed and he wanted to destroy trees for satisfaction, then it makes total sense to destroy all the trees.

I'm pretty sure Google will eventually enforce HTTPs for their third party ad-networks. The problem is that a lot of those guys live in the Paleolithic era regarding security, google needs their inventory, so it's not as simple as just saying: "dude you're going down if you don't do HTTPs now".

And it's also easy to just say "google should just suck it up and take their losses and just do HTTPS". You have to think that a lot of games rely on Google having a big ad inventory to monetize (and it's their only revenue model).

I don't work at Google, but do work in ad-tech. The HTTPS only move by Apple is great and will make a lot of things better... But it's going to take a while.

Well, they could write a list in python, but that's more a single night's homework than an entire class (with the appropriate foreknowledge) to my understanding, so what's an interesting middle ground? A logical language (e.g. Prolog) would be interesting, but I have no idea the complexities involved. I imagine implementing in python would reduce the complexities of the actual programming step allowing more time for what I think are the interesting parts of a compiler course.

Yes, a man may do better at X and a woman may do better by Y, but I'm hiring you because you are good at Z and I need someone good at Z and I don't care which gender is better in general, because you are the one I'm interviewing and you are good at Z.
Ignoring that it seems like the "fix" in this blog post is a really bad idea, I find it immensely funny that folks think this kind of thing is some high level decision somewhere or something deliberate and well thought out, and not "a developer relations person who got asked to make a blog post about the solution he gave some customer"

Not that you shouldn't hold companies responsible, mind you, but everything everywhere is not some company (no matter who it is Google, Apple, etc) deliberately trying to screw you with some motive and purpose and grand conspiracy for how to achieve it in mind. Most wrong/dumb things are usually just simply random people being wrong or not thinking things through on the internet[1]

I guess a lot of folks have never worked at any mid-size or large companies :)

[1] The large company comment also applies to the possible retort that they should know better.A lot of large companies have 100's of "official" blogs. I'm sure corp comm/security/whoever would love to just have 1 they have to watch. But such a thing is not really the world.

Well, phew! ;)

To the first point: I'm happy to generalize my claim outside of merely C-H school (which I'd call the "logical" school, maybe this is the same or maybe it's more broad than what you mean by C-H) and make a mere subclaim that the logical school will prevail.

To the second point: I think there's plenty of existing empirical results, but not direct ones. E.g., how many advanced physicists today are using their own, highly divergent language for writing their theories (not their code, notably).

I think the direct empirical results—like the one you claim and I'd, without verification, buy—are conflated with technological progress and desire to get things done over getting them done consistently or well.

The point is there are other metrics than 0-60, and in fact 0-60 is --- at least within a given bracket of cars --- a pretty cheap metric to optimize.

I'm usually sticking +1s to the storage for any strings for this purpose. So if I want to operate on MAXLEN number of characters, I'll allocation MAXLEN+1 for the character array.

And often times I'll be memset()'ing the destination to all NULLs when doing a string copy operation. I'm not real happy with string handling in C... as if that should be surprising to anyone.

Say, is there nice, small, suitable for embedded use string library anyone would care to recommend in C? I just want a nice string type that carries around its length and storage length, handles copies properly, and has the usual utilities. I suppose I could just write one...
How many millions of PCs do you think Windows 10 is on?
I assume that by "it" you mean the Model S?

Keep in mind that when you have 7 people in it, at least two must be relatively small (77lbs or under) children. So the added weight isn't quite as much as it sounds.

The P85D weighs just under 5,000lbs empty. Say your 7 passengers add 1,000lbs of weight, that's a 20% penalty on acceleration. Might be noticeable, but performance will still be extremely good.

As for range, aerodynamic drag dominates at highway speeds, which is where you'll be spending most of your time on a trip. The efficiency hit from extra passengers will be down in the noise. You could probably recoup it by driving 2MPH slower.

I haven't done a long trip with 7, but I did do a reasonably long road trip with 6 in my Model S, and the extra weight was not noticeable. You don't want to be flooring it in a powerful car with small kids most of the time anyway, and the energy use predictions were still spot on.
