1. If the job market and economy were better, then salary would be less of an issue, and the strength of the candidate would be more of an issue.

2.If salary offers are ridiculously low side, this usually indicates that there are problems with money in the company,
or that company is offering something which will substitute for the low salary (really cool tech, everyone wants to work there, remote work, perks, etc.) Recently, it is mostly been the former.

3. Worldwide talent availability and competition from multinational corporations has made the engineering job market less lucrative in the US for engineers.

They own the copper runs. But if you want to compete with them by building your own infrastructure you're allowed to do that. In most places, it's the power companies that own the utility lines, not the telcos. The problem is it's not worth anybody's while to do it to earn 3-5% return.
That's an important point. I think however elegant for its time the 70s/early 80s UNIX design, it holds us back in many ways.

It's amazing that we still widely use a language without a string type and memory safety like C for example, instead of something like Rust, Swift and co -- with occasional excursions to unsafety maybe for speed/interoperability with older libs, but not as the default for the whole goddamn codebase. And don't get me started in stdlib and co.

Other stuff too. A common "file resources" standard. X11. All the way to Makefiles and permissions (with stuff bolted on, like ACL). Oh, and the horrible conventions of file paths (dumping everything in /usr/bin and co, splitting an installed app into 5+ different directories for man files, resources, etc).

It's amazing how even a simple improvement like systemd gets tons of negativity from admin types and people who think 70s designs should be set in stone.
Pity! I had my fingers crossed that you would have some kind of neat exit, you certainly deserved it with all the hard work put in. Better luck next round!
yah absolutely ext4 has progressively had its' performance reduced because what made it faster than ext3 created a lot of corner cases that make it far less reliable, and Btrfs is at least a fresh design, but doesn't seem to be particularly ready and is not even proven as a reliable design.

It's good that we have more than one filesystem. HFS+ functionally works well for a Mac because the Mac is designed around it, but it is part of the reason that OSX falls short as a UNIX at times.

Facebook Live Video Is Facebook at Its Most Facebook

So it's not actually a charity after all - it's a private LLC that will make ''philanthropic'' investments which, if well run, could snowball the $45b of Facebook stock into hundreds of billions of dollars of privately owned and controlled wealth. Will the LLC take equity in projects like a venture capital firm or will it truly gift money away? (If gifting money, there's no reason not to leverage the charitable structure to manage taxes, which makes me think they will seek equity positions.) This structure might be a more effective way to impact the world but it's definitely a bit of whiplash from the way this whole project was initially reported.
Master of the house: why we should fight for truly private spaces
"Making you fat."

No, that isn't how obesity works. What you put in your face is directly responsible for how fat you become. The microbes are just a factor, they aren't the root cause.
Are you asserting that stock options are the only reason to join a startup? Because that's fallacious at the very least. (And by the way, this "Why would you join a startup?" question is exactly what that founder said to me when I tried to negotiate on salary. Not exactly a great way to win people over.)

There are plenty of companies that have IPO'd that offer stock as compensation, by the way. I've worked for a few. That stock directly translates into cash once it vests. (Well, assuming the stock price goes up -- but at least cashing out is an option!)

You also seem to be asserting that I'm rejecting equity completely. As I've said in my parent comments, I'm certainly not. I'm simply placing a premium on salary (cash) over stock options (not likely to become cash). Of course I want equity. I don't not want it. But it doesn't replace salary, and I can't pay my rent with options.

It should be noted that there are some caveats to TypeScript, namely that it's type-safety is only compile-time and not at run-time. It is best-effort type-safety.

That said, the edge cases are few and far between. TS is a fantastic language to work with.
> Now governments are expecting the same sorts of benefits without giving Verizon and AT&T the same sort quid pro quo.

They did give benefits. PA, NJ, and NYC gave Verizon (or predecessors) tax breaks and lighter regulation 20+ years ago in exchange for stringing fiber everywhere. Now the deadlines have passed, and places where you'd reasonably expect residential-grade fiber service to be don't have it.

> you need hooks from the symbol table back into the tokeniser/parser

not necessary. you can add a bit of information to each identifier token: is this the name of a type or not?

you have to split up one of the parser passes, so if you had a two pass "tokenizer" and "LR parser" compiler now you have a tokenizer pass followed by two LR parser passes. The first LR pass is "last mile tokenization". I guess another word would be a (very short) cascade tokenizer/parser.

The intermediate pass adds a piece of metadata to each token marking it as the name of a type or not (this makes the language actually context free instead of just nearly context free). If you do this, then the second pass doesn't see this as two identifiers at all because it knows which identifiers refer to types and which do not.

It's a different application (computing scope data instead of type data) but I've implemented the basic concept of annotating token data with the result of an intermediate parsing stage here...check out line 318 here:

Just remember that if you're ever in the position of having to press Verizon up against the wall, they're legally obligated to fix the outside plant, whether copper or fiber.

They're also obligated to provide you with non-VoIP (marketed under things like the Verizon Freedom package) phone service over fiber. The service is implemented much better, and since it's legally phone service, is obligated to meet a certain quality standard and be fixed in a certain length of time if it breaks.

In any case, it really does piss me off to see how far the telecom market has sunk. A lot of these companies have never gotten over the monopoly mindset, and really do nothing other than hold themselves back in every way possible.
It's times like these, I kinda want to go buy one of these markets Verizon has effectively abandoned, and put the whole industry to shame.

I don't know why you would want to force people to do this. There's nothing stopping someone from hand-copying code if you use text, but you're using the wrong format if you encode it as an image. So, as a result, in addition to losing copy+paste (which may be useful for someone who doesn't want to "Learn Python the Hard Way"), you also lose Ctrl + F, and if you're using an animated GIF, you also lose the ability to stop at a specific point or move around.

Overall, I think the right answer is to use the appropriate format and let people sort themselves out.
>Who cares if it's a fine idea in theory, when in reality it's completely unpractical. What you call 'worse' is a model that works.

"Completely unpractical" is quite an exaggeration. OS X has used them for 15 years and things are working as they should for 99.9999 of the people in 99.9999 of the cases.

You'll read more complaints/confusion about way more standard POSIX/UNIXY features that you'll see about resource forks -- which are mostly hidden under the hood.

>If people actively start storing critical data in resource forks (as it was done in the case of the font), a lot of other things will break.

You mentioned "reality" but this is a hypothetical scenario.

People don't "start storing critical data in resource forks". Apple uses them for specific things it knowns how to handle and that they don't need to be shared outside HFS boundaries.
Actually gulp has many great ways to work with sourcemaps, browserify, and babel. Google it and you should find a gist. I'm using through2.

EDIT: Then again, they might not vary. I'm not a personality expert.
Basically, the "resource fork" in MacOS was... well, Wikipedia actually puts it pretty well: "a section of a file used to store structured data along with the unstructured data stored within the data fork." It was frequently used to store things like images and icons (and fonts), but could also be used to store metadata. Think of it as the equivalent of having a document database -- a key/value store -- alongside a file.

For a practical example of the metadata, albeit not one from MacOS: BeOS had a similar concept of file attributes as key/value pairs, and some MP3 players would store ID3 tags in files. In a directory window, you could list any custom attributes as columns. When I was a BeOS user, that made it trivially easy to use the file system itself as my answer to iTunes: windows would show artist, album, song title, track number, and playing times (or whatever I wanted), and because you could search on custom attributes and then save those searches as virtual folders, you could easily set up the equivalent of smart playlists.
Tons, but odds are if you select 100 Americans at random, 95 of them won't have access to a smaller ISP than Verizon or Comcast.
Ohh wow this looks very nice. Unfortunately I can't login for some reason.

So I am actually finishing the development of a similar system for a group of anesthesiologists that needed a custom app to keep track of their patients and their pain medication.

Had I known of this project before I would have actually considered contributing/forking it to handle their use cases. See this hits pretty close home since I'm Colombian and hospitals here have terribly outdated systems.

I love the idea of the app working offline and syncing when internet is available since mobile networks here aren't verye reliable. One problem is,as others have mentioned, having it work on mobile is very important. I don't think it really is because of lack of PCs and desktops it's just that doctors are always running all over the place and it's more convienent for them to log the information on a smartphone/tablet.

Anyways my next project is also on the medical field and will have a wider scope so I'll keep an eye on this project for when the time comes, I'd love to contribute eventually.

>Is is possible that some just don't like living in tight urban quarters? I'm not exactly sure why the race card must be played.

Sure is. I'm totally OK with people living this lifestyle.

What I don't appreciate is when these people take over land use policies in all of America and make this lifestyle required, outside of handful of pockets that had the fortune to be born before this lifestyle existed. I don't like that these policies have tremendous effects on house prices, the cost of transportation, and economic growth nationwide (to the point that economists from various viewpoints oppose them).

I would likewise be opposed to policies that legally mandated all people live in environments that look like Manhattan. Not everyone enjoys that lifestyle, and it would have massive ramifications on all aspects of society.

What I support is a relaxing of zoning and land use policies so that they become about the efficient movement of people and goods and public safety, which is how they started out.

I do not support land use policies that are meant to force me to live a certain way. Let the me decide how I want to live. Don't tell me what I like or should like.
>"The drivers are not (jerks|unsafe|scary|etc)" - at this point half of the smart taxi drivers have gone to Uber, there's not much of a difference in driver quality.

Au contraire - the rating system put consequences in place for poor driver behavior. Previous to that I had plenty of drivers simply never show or show fabulously late for pre-booked appointments. I don't know if Uber will penalize a driver for taking too long to show, but I know I can with a poor review. Not only will my negative feedback make it to a customer service rep but if enough people also rate him low he's out of the system. There's no equivalent feedback loop in the taxi system.
I worked as the Developer Advocate at my last company (An Agile tools vendor). While I was there I had helped out some larger companies run their own internal hackathons. One of the services that we helped them with was planning the event.

For the most part I worked as a therapist for their executive team, usually I spent most of my time reassuring them that losing a day of engineering time would be a good investment and that they didn't need to vet the projects that the teams worked on. It was fun work bringing that awesome kind of "goof-off" dev work to engineers that had been working with the same team for 20 years and had been pidgeonholed onto some old legacy system.

The execs pretty much always loved it, you got to see teams led by interns with grizzled senior neckbeards getting to write some code for them.
Back in the early 00's AT&T came out 20+ times to fix my DSL issues. At one point, the tech said they wouldn't come out anymore and I had to either live with it or switch to Comcast. I did the latter.

Interestingly, one of the early techs put a TDR on the line and found I needed a new drop cable (the cable from the pole to the house). He put the order in. A few hours later a line guy shows up and says "yeah, we're not going to do that." Basically, he said it would cost them $2,000 to put in a new drop cable and he didn't have the authority for that. The next tech that came out basically told me between a wink and a nod that I should have a "tree trimming accident" where the drop cable was "accidentally" severed. I was too chicken to do it. I switched to Comcast and got 10x the speed, for about 2x the price.

A truly male-specific problem ¬_¬
There is a 5% rule for non profits that his LLC gets to avoid:

"...What is the 5 percent payout requirement?

The purpose behind the minimum payout requirement is to prevent foundations from simply receiving gifts, investing the assets and never spending any funds on charitable purposes. The basic rule can be stated simply, but its calculation is complex: Each year every private foundation must make eligible charitable expenditures that equal or exceed approximately 5 percent of the value of its endowment. The word "payout" while convenient is somewhat misleading and is not used in the Tax Code section that creates the rule. The word "payout" suggests grants or contributions paid out to other charities. Although these grants normally make up more than 93 percent of the expenditures of most foundations, many other expenses can also qualify in meeting the minimum payout requirement. In short, the 5 percent payout rule need not be satisfied solely with grants. ..."

From the posting: The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is structured as an LLC rather than a traditional foundation. This enables us to pursue our mission by funding non-profit organizations, making private investments and participating in policy debates -- in each case with the goal of generating a positive impact in areas of great need. Any net profits from investments will also be used to advance this mission.

It sounds as though they're truly giving money to some nonprofits, as well as investing in other worthwhile ventures, and will reinvest the profits to good causes as well.

This topic has been coming up much more recently and I've recently been reading "The Good Gut: Taking Control of Your Weight, Your Mood, and Your Long-term Health" by two Stanford researchers (Justin & Erica Sonnenburg). Just the first few chapters expose evidence that the simple correlation between consumption and static result is simply not true.

I don't personally think this can be blamed on Linux - Audio works on Linux as well as OSX does, when the hardware is selected and configured, as it is on OSX. Linux has alternative and competing - and thriving - audio subsystems, and this means that systems integration has to pay attention to what its doing. This didn't happen in Androids' case; where other Linux distros had rock-solid and professional-quality audio subsystems and software integration, Android had an NIH implementation that ended up having to re-invent the wheel, to boot.
