I've heard of a concept of "criminal speeding" (e.g. going so fast they arrest you instead of give you a ticket) but it doesn't look like my state has such a law. However "Reckless Driving" seems to be much more lax and requires only "willful and wanton" disregard for the safety of others. $200 summary fine (again 2x in construction/posted areas).

Like most enforcement in the US, there seems to be a great deal of discretion in what the police officer can actually do to you, everything from a warning to a large ticket ($475 for my example w/ a reckless driving citation, which will also probably cause you to lose your car insurance).

> GNOME 3's default theme has the slimmest window chrome any GNOME has ever had

Even if that was true, what your parent said is that it's space wasting (in absolute terms). Which is actually an understatement.

> It's only space-wasting if you're using applications that don't support menus in the title bars

That's really two pairs of shoes. And assuming support for the gimmick of the day (which also presumably only works for GTK3 apps) is totally insane.

And btw the default theme also sucks in that you can't easily see which window has keyboard focus. And if you change the theme, it gets messier as your parent described.
What I like about "big before small" is that while you can't replicate what the big company does, you can selectively adopt certain "big company lessons, tools, processes" at a startup. At a big company, you also may gain a view into how scale works to understand where your changes at a startup will have the most bang for your buck.

It doesn't sound like there is any leverage in this explanation? Isn't that part of the purpose of derivatives -- for leverage? If you are buying and selling faster than the transactions can be closed is that where the leverage comes in? So some multiple or percent of the transaction should be counted as more than the buy/sell price?

Chrome is just slower. Microsoft has done a good job with Edge's JavaScript engine.

A true good at heart multi-billionaire CAN change India/ Indians and drive 1/5th of the humans to be good example of future world. Which will bring lot of stability to the world and make Africa and other poor countries to have belief in "good system". Indians are are very good at idolizing and following a person. Like Gandhi or today's Sachin or whoever. There is lot of people praying if god will send a person to change India. While corrupt to the core... A majority, i would say may be 70% (based on my village and relations) are willing to put up efforts to be completely not corrupt as long as justice and police system work, but now justice system is very questionable..so any multi billionaire or to be billionaire's via start-up , please consider donating money to this... with number of people in India and willingness to study... if you invest in changing this country you pretty much can change the world....otherwise we will continue to do BPO work and Rem Infra Mgmt work and support your business irrespective of what happens to us and our country....

In the context we're discussing, we're explicitly taking a job to sample many things.

Given the recent specialization in programming (web backend v. frontend, "mobile", devops, etc.), which is a continuing trend from previous decades, this seems sensible. I advocate for a T shape in skills, but before you pick what you go deep in, get somewhat established in the wide. Fresh out of school you just can't have the width yet to know what you want to and should go deep in yet, not even if you've had a job the whole time.

Actually, I suppose I ought to raise that up as my true point: Go a bit wide before you select what to go deep in. Try not to just float into something without thought. Width should emphasize learning things that have demonstrated staying power, but you want to go deep on something that you expect has future power. It probably shouldn't be the current hottest fad tech, but the current hottest fad tech is probably at least in the area of a good future choice; it's more interesting why the current fad is a fad than the specific fad. If you do go for something that became super hot in the last 6 months to a year, try to figure out how to leverage that into learning about fundamentals even so. There's ways at both big companies and startups to succeed and fail by this metric.

Of course, on the flip side, you don't have to get it perfectly correct. You can't go deep in everything all the time, but "pi-shaped" Π is feasible in addition to T-shaped too. (That's capital pi, for those who may not have seen it before.)
I don't think building GTK with MSVC is supported anyhow? :) Maybe it works now, it used to require a unixy toolchain. And the compiler has gotten a lot of c99 features since 2013. In practice, you could always set the compiler to c++ mode and everything would compile just fine.

How Brain Architecture Leads to Abstract Thought
There is a huge difference between companies where software is the product (Google, Microsoft, Silicon Valley startups), and companies where software supports a business that has nothing to do with software (most IT jobs).

When software is the product, you tend to consider your software developers as money makers and pay them better. When you think of your engineers as a necessary evil to sell other stuff, you tend to pay them as little as possible.

Europe is full of the second scenario. That's the problem.

Wow this looks great, I've been thinking about something that does exactly this for a while.

Apps that start to order everything by your preferences built up over time start to become possible and automatically repeating past uses. E.g. A new report completed and its 70% percent certain you move reports to a certain folder, it just happens.

Rayon: data paralellism in Rust
My experience is that big tech company jobs are much better than at the typical startup.

I got my first job working for one of the big 3 tech companies a couple of years ago after a long string of startups that failed or fizzled going back to the dot-com days. I always felt like I was making reasonable-to-good base salary at startups with the potential to hit it big with stock options.

Starting my job as a regular IC at big tech company was immediately an eye opener. Out of the gate my base salary was 10% higher than I made as a manager at my most recent startup. With bonus and publicly traded stock value after a year, I was making ~50% more and stock becoming even more valuable over time.

My first startup was great as I went in at 25 with no college and only self taught tech skills. In hindsight, this was a great (probably only) way to start but pivoting to big tech would have been a better move instead of trying to strike it rich at a startup.
I concede I didn't really make my point clear due to poor wording. What I mean is: I don't think dick-jokes are inherently wrong for the workplace. I think context is the key. I worked at a Fortune-500 where they were absolutely not acceptable, but I tend towards places where they are acceptable.

These days, there are a few things I would prefer to see from Boost...

1. A "mini-boost" that splits off some very basic things like string algorithms that are still not in the standard, while specifically excluding the heavyweight components.

2. Formal deprecation and eventual removal of some components, as C++ standards are finally getting their act together. For instance, no new code should probably depend on BOOST_FOREACH(), and I would think that the main issue with objects like boost::scoped_ptr<> is the dependency on boost names (but functionally, they ought to work when replaced by standard versions now).

3. Merging of standard components and boost extensions. For instance, if there is anything that boost::foobar does better than std::foobar, keep boost::foobar but migrate the implementation to be in terms of std::foobar (with new behavior on top) so that boost-extended code can integrate more cleanly with code that uses standards only.

What do you mean by "correct"? The Unicode standard talks about well-formed UTF-8/16/32, but in general, any sequence of code points is permissible. By derivation, any sequence of code points can appear in JSON strings, and any sequence of code points excluding control characters can appear in XML. I personally have read the Unicode spec, and used it to implement some of the algorithms presented. This includes the grapheme cluster breaking algorithm... the case of combining characters at the beginning of a line is, in fact, covered by the spec, and cause a break both before and afterwards. In general, there are other cases where grapheme cluster breaks are not preserved by string concatenation, and you often want a locale-specific version anyway.
I'd submit that what you have there isn't that what I've said is wrong, but that what you've "picked and chosen" from the SV lifestyle is nearly the null set. That's fine for you, no sarcasm, I am glad you are happy and I have no great love for SV myself, but it doesn't make my point wrong.

Me, I live in the Midwest and work in a quite substantial local office of a SV-based company that is now midsized. I get the job I want (in particular I want to work in a place where programmers are the core value providers of the company, not a cost-center afterthought, which is what is generally true of the other companies where I live), in the place I want, because I do not want to live in SV, and do appreciate being near family. Granted my choices are less, but I only really need one job "right now" and enough fallback that I have choices; I do not need thousands and thousands of options.

I know it can be done. I know it's not an either/or, because I have in my hands an existence proof of something that is not either/or.

If Hitler didn't have such a hangup on Jews and facilitated monsters like Heydrich and Eichmann and Himmler, he'd be remembered much the same way we remember Napoleon - as someone who united the bulk of Europe for a time, but made the mistake of thinking invading Russia was a good idea.

I can rationalize why somebody struggling in the great depression would look up to the apparent prosperity that Hitler seemed to be bringing to Germany prior to the war.

> Swift has probably the most comprehensive Unicode string API I've seen

Perl 6 has long specified an interesting and rich approach to Unicode. Have you explored it?

(An initial implementation for an initial release of the Rakudo compiler was worked on over the last few years and declared done, modulo bugs, a few weeks ago. A recent blog post provides a friendly overview.[1].)

One notable difference is that Swift adopts an iteration-only view of strings for dealing with characters whereas Perl 6 does not. One consequence is that indexing operations in Perl 6 are O(1) (time) at the expense of potentially (and for the current implementation, typically) greater use of RAM.

> BTW to your point on len(x) + len(y). The answer is 2 if you define len() on Unicode scalars but 1 if you define it on characters. Why? because len("\u301") should be 0.

Are you 100% sure of this of your last sentence ("should be 0")? I get that it's intuitively reasonable that an isolated base modifier be length 0 but I thought the Unicode standard specified (or at least recommended) that it be 1, and I note that Perl 6 treats isolated base modifiers (or at least this particular one) as length 1:

> ("a").chars
1

> (0x301.chr).chars
1

> ("a" ~ 0x301.chr).chars
1

So both Swift and Perl 6 correctly report the length of "a" as 1 and an "a" concatenated with "\u301" as 1 but disagree on what to do with an isolated base modifier.

> It is, of course, true that getting this right is likely to be substantially more expensive than getting it wrong but that doesn't mean it can't be done.

Indeed.

I recommend opposite as well but look for things like Leadership Development Programs in JPMC,WF,CITI etc... you get well rounded experience in 2/3 years and then you can decide to stick around or move.. Or work in big company and contribute to open source. There is lot to learn with big companies and if you can solve their problem you can solve small company problems as well but all small companies will get tired and have to behave like big corp to continue.. start up momentum is not sustainable beyond 3/4 years. Once you hit about 15000 people then you start having all kind of issues so better know how to manage that or seeing that will give you idea how to segment your company.
That is what client side decorations are. The application draws in their own windows their own title bars / frames / min / max / close buttons and that will happen everywhere.

Go open the Steam client on Linux, it is using CSD so it always has min / max / close in the top right.
I would love to have some Java programmer opinion on this piece.
Agreed - I actually worked at a big 4 consulting firm - and it made me considerably more disciplined, and structured over my peers. I can solve problems more clearly, succinctly, and focus on critical path which comes from pressured client work.
> My window manager should dictate how windows looks. This works for all toolkits, from GTK2 over FLTK over Qt all the way to Mono's GDI. All, except GTK3.

So you're arguing that because the window decorations are consistent, apps are consistent?

Hate to break it to you, but running a GTK2 app under KDE/KWin will still look inconsistent.

The only way you get to be consistent, is by having your app developers use the same toolkit. I don't see why the windows' frame should be regarded as "special" when all the button/tabs/filechooser/… widgets are different depending on the toolkit.

You've got a point. I'm sure being physically attracted to someone enhances or diminishes the effect of their actual approach. Additionally, attractive people are more confident, and confident people tend to not behave in as many creepy behaviors.

That being said, the underlying theme of cubano's comment was blaming women for (shockingly) responding positively to flirty men who they find attractive, and responding negatively to flirty men who don't stop even after it's clear that the women just aren't into them. The subtext of cubano's comment was that it wasn't the guy's fault for being creepy, after all that was only because the woman wasn't attracted to him! He acted just the same! These guys think that you can evaluate the behavior independent of the context, which is of course ludicrous.
