I've got a couple bookmarked from when I once did a search (having had similar ideas myself).

http://lifecompetes.com/ is interesting, as is http://gameoflifetotalwar.com/ (already posted by vog). The other links I saved seem to have died. None of them worked quite the way I envisaged[!] but there have been a few interesting variations on using the basic rules to make a competitive game.

Kendo UI Tutorials for Beginners and Programmers – Codementor
I run a large dev service with multiple online products, and we like most others in the industry go into a deployment freeze from about mid december to the first week in jan. Its designed to prevent new code that could cause stability issues being deployed over the holiday spell when many of our top engineers are on vacation, and our ability to handle complex problems is limited.

We (and i assume google does the same) restrict deployments to 911 fixes, which have a specific set of conditions before a fix is considered such, presumably this did not meet googles criteria. From what i read it was 6% of a minority browser traffic that was effected, which would would putt the total traffic at 1-2%, i would not break the deployment embargo for that.
Most people want to hear what most people hear, to be able to talk about it and don't be cut off from their group of friends. Same thing about TV, movies, cloths, phones, books, games etc.
Good point; I noticed that, too. Especially when it's RESTful. People seem to
have forgotten about RPC protocols, where it's operation, not a resource, that
is most important.

Personally, my typical web app is not CRUD, it's merely an R. And I don't
write those daily. Much more often I write network or system daemons.
>> "For every one of those decades I could name several rock bands who were commercially successful and whose music also represented a major, youth-oriented cultural movement which challenged the status quo."

Take a look at some of the big EDM acts. It may not be your thing (and it's not really mine) but it's undeniable that acts like Swedish House Mafia and Avicii changed youth culture. If you take a listen to popular music from the 2000's it was all indie rock and then there was this dramatic shift late in the decade.
The U.S. is full of all kinds of behavior that is uniquely American. I was amazed how different the U.S. actually is when I left it several years ago to live and work in other nations. the U.S. has a lot it could learn from other places. I definitely think Americans are on average unhappier than the citizens of other Western nations, for a wide range of reasons.
Google Is Forcing Routebuilder to Shut Down
It seems easy enough to agree some kind of core - "everyone comes in 2-4pm on Wednesday and we do any meetings then" or some such. I mean, all-remote teams manage to get work done.
A rollback is a change, it can still introduce problems if thete are issues in the rollback process, a deployment freeze is a freeze even for rollbacks.
I would use a fully diluted approach giving back the $ each one had "as converted" with conversion price being the avg of the caps.
Faithful? What does that even mean in this context? "Faithful" is for your spouse, not your employer. It's a business arrangement. If it's not working out, you find another job. And your employer knows employee churn is a cost of doing business - they're not expecting you to be "faithful".
Fair point. But in West's case, it's not even marketing, his running into Swift to rage about Knowles award loss was him entirely. Unless it was his PR team that gave him the idea. I'll keep your idea in mind though.

Sure the idea that Facebook makes us dumber might have some truth in it. But it cannot be fairly evaluated unless one proves that the alternative Network Television or Grandma email forwards were not making us even more dumber before Facebook rose to prominence.

FTR, Turbo Pascal also allowed you to write in assembler - the built-in assembly was well integrated with the language, too, doing things like referencing record offsets symbolically. If you could live with the limitations, it was pretty nice.
Yup. And in terms of politics, there are a pretty decent selection of young rap and hip-hop artists (similarly--with rare exceptions, not my thing either) who are speaking to the concerns of an unheard segment of the population in the United States. Limiting this to "rock" cuts out a lot of people, both in the U.S. and out.
I'm not aware of any empirical or historical justification for the range 28-56. People are indeed seldom happy unemployed, but I haven't seen any evidence that people would be unhappy on e.g. 14 hours/week (of course it's very hard to control for status aspects).

The kind of person who can cash in for millions is an outlier in many ways - the working habits of such people say very little about those of the general population.
> Am I heartless? Or just honest?

No, Yes. You just don't happen to feel a close connection to this particular person who has died. That doesn't mean that other people here aren't being similarly honest and do feel a connection.

"Frameworks" are definitely the word to describe what has changed since you left us and you've certainly mentioned a few, but the way websites are pieced together is largely the same. A bit of dynamic code sharts out some HTML and that gets rendered with some CSS (and occasionally some JS).

I'd leave the backend stuff well alone to start if I were you. If the last browsers you were testing against were really Netscape and IE4, I'd strongly suggest you start with the design side of things. Bootstrap is a great framework for writing little CSS and reaping a many-device-compatible site. There are alternatives like Materialize.

So build a one-page static website and see how that all fits together. Change the design. Consider digging into the CSS (or LESS/SASS CSS-generator languages). You can do a lot with static sites. There are even form-handling third parties to take out the hard stuff.

Once you're on top of that, you're in a good spot to go dynamic; learn database modelling, templating, URL dispatchers and all the jazz that is specific to the backend framework of your choice.

Don't feel pressurised to stay with PHP. You haven't used it in years and I'd argue it's everybody's favourite punch-bag for a reason. The quality of tutorials is much better these days so picking up something like Django or Rails without prior Python or Ruby experience is easy. But don't try to master them all at once.

The best way to learn is to dig in and build.
>A new language: WebAssembly code defines an AST (so does JavaScript) represented in a binary format. You can author and debug in a text format so it’s readable.

Heh, since every binary executable has a non-compiled source code somewhere out there, can we call them readable too?
Don't dodge the question. Use any available library you want, just type the code that will compile.
I there anyone I can reach out to directly?
That was when I knew it wasn't going to work. I personally know several people that I would gladly hire (if given the chance) who quit rather than move.

Not only that, but the people who did have to move are going to resent the company for making them do it. It was really a stealth layoff, and anyone who had prospects elsewhere bailed out at that point.
I find articles like this both incredibly interesting but perhaps even more confusing.

It must be because the complex math underlying these findings can not accurately be expressed in human language.

God, you're more Asperger than me. When it's like that, I often download the last album, and I appreciate what the person gave to the world, whatever the way I feel, or don't feel. Some are more involved than others, but this is like an appreciation, and a global thanking to people who had notably a global impact. I just listened to the album and personally I'm actually in a 'good' mood, when I think he couldn't have ended it on a better note. Probably it's the artist in me speaking.

> we have Kanye West

For what it's worth Kanye West is still regarded like a sort of a joke in most of Europe, at least for people like me, who are over 30.

> and we have Jack White

At first I said to myself "who's that?", then I saw that he used to sing for the White Stripes. It's a so-and-so band, at least one of their songs got pretty popular among the football ultras, as did the Pet Shop Boys' "Go West!" back in the 90s.

> we have Radiohead

This is a late '90s - early 2000s band. Some say (at least I say) that they haven't been able to produce anything quite as good as the albums from that time in the last 10+ years. At the very least they are not as influential as they used to be back then.
I'm a non-sports person, but I had a dawning realization earlier this week. We crave shared, tribal experiences, and that's why we seek out those shared events.

OpenH264 can't be used for video decoding because it can't decode the H264 profiles used to encode video on the internet; it's strictly baseline profile only which is pretty useless. The only reason it exists is because Cisco has a bunch of H264-only videoconferencing hardware that they want to be able to work with WebRTC.

Although perhaps 'Smart and Gets Things Done' is an over-simplification.
Yes, but you presume that single worker working 40h/w will charge you the same hourly rate as the one working just 15h/week. It very much depends on peoples' own perception of how much work is "normal", and if you ask them to work more then the usual norm they'll probably ask to be better paid (per hour) for extra effort. Which would make them more expensive to hire, which would lead to hiring more 15h/w workers... some sort of equilibrium would surely arise, but only for jobs that are in high demand... unqualified workers will only work more and more...
I know the stories of people living homeless, or in sewers etc. The point is that now it is not common at all, while 100 years ago it was rather common.
I saw him live for his Sound + Vision tour. That was pretty incredible. It truly was a blend of the two as he put together some great visuals to go with each of the songs. Plus, it was a "greatest hits" kind of tour so you got a wide range of songs. I still regularly listen to my Sound + Vision box set. Unfortunately, I don't have anything that can play the video from my CD-V now.
> You don't have a safety net when you get dumped. You know, if your girlfriend dumps you, you don't get another girl to give you blowjobs, because otherwise you might get depressed and suicidal. You're expected to figure it out on your own and you might not do it - you might end up lonely, without dates and maybe even commit suicide because of that.

So maybe think outside your own box and figure out if there's any cheap social policy that would improve the lot of such people? I come up with: legalize prostitution, shorten copyright terms for pornography. Maybe lower emphasis on marriage and greater acceptance of polyamory, though that could go both ways. Try to culturally de-emphasize sex, and provide more life paths where singledom is accepted or expected (e.g. I've heard it argued that monasteries used to serve this function).

> So, why not hold wage earners to the same standard?

Huh? That's backwards. If giving everyone a decent dating partner was as easy as raising taxes a little bit and subsidising a few government-run services, of course we'd do it.
opera has always been innovative browser with good features as long back as i can remember(opera on Nokia s60v3 back then). features like great speed dial on mobile n desktop, save for offline, opera turbo mode, syncing bookmarks between desktop n mobile, website overview mode, text reflow.. I have to use addons with other browsers to have these features on chrome or firefox. Opera has a great team. Has poor market share though. They also had good security. Opera wasn't vulnerable to some big ssl bug discovered a couple of years ago. Most other browsers were. They recently switched their rendering engine to webkit though
I take issue with grouping non-reproducible (in principle), non-prediction-generating (just "rejects" a null hypothesis without specifying a precise research hypothesis) type of research as science. If anyone has missed Feynman's discussion of cargo cult science, check that out because it describes what is going on pretty well: http://calteches.library.caltech.edu/51/2/CargoCult.htm

It is really something very different from the method that gave us the benefits we see all around today. For example, the cancer reproducibility project had to drop 1/4 of the studies before even trying because it was so difficult to get the required protocols and materials: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10687879

"Research", ok. But "Science"? I would prefer reserving that word for something better. Something better than a group of people publishing reports lacking 2 weeks worth of full time work worth of necessary methodological information.
Seems cool. I just don't understand why most HR sites do not accept "online resume" as an option. I just want to provide a URL to my online resume instead of uploading a PDF file.

Specially in the case of a website focused on software jobs. I am sure I am not the only "software engineer" who maintains an online resume written in HTML and would like to reuse it accross multiple similar sites.

There is a "Paste" option, but pasting a URL seems... dirty.
The problem is that you're assuming productivity is based on individual merit in these companies.

They're so large that essentially nothing about your personal output has any real effect on your individual productivity. It's equal parts politicking, luck, and self-promotion that garners you kudos, not actually getting anything done.

In a dysfunctional organization, like I daresay yahoo is at this point, you don't lose anything by firing people who are unable to contribute due to organizational problems.

As an example, when I worked at AT&T, individual and project success was decided essentially based on the whim of management.

I don't think we went 3 months with the same remit, organization, management structure or goals.

In that kind of situation, much like I perceive Yahoo to be, there's really no point in attempting to achieve productive work since the targets change before you can actually do anything. It's pathologically better to focus on shifting blame and self-aggrandizement, so that when things inevitably fail you can dump it on a scapegoat. There's a reason I don't work there any more.

"Safely" download and run a script as root. Watch as it "safely" destroys existing nginx configuration and replaces it with one that statically maps to `/home/ubuntu/jeequery/staticroot`. Yeah that won't even work.

If you want to safely deploy Django, learn how to deploy Django.

A tutorial explaining what it's installing, how it's installing, how to keep it updated, where it's configured etc takes 20 minutes and leaves the reader safe. This is a broken script that pulls people into performing some of the worst possible security practices.

TL;DR Avoid this article to stay safe.

Your comment is basically flame bait, but I'll bite.

Comparing a paying job with a girlfriend doesn't work. People can live perfectly well without a girlfriend, but it's hard to eat and pay rent if you don't have a stable income. This gives a lot of leverage to employers because employees can't just quit their job.
Less code is not really that important anymore (within sensible bounds) Clarity to whatever poor shmo has to maintain it is often much more important than saving 5 lines with some clever bit twiddling hack.

Unless of course you are having performance issues and you have identified this code block as the issue.

I don't think that's what they're saying; they're saying that wasm has a somewhat-readable textual representation. Not a precompiled/decompiled program, a one-one mapping from the AST to the text format. Or something.

Think of it like how assembly is to machine code, but probably more readable.
Hm... the alternative explanation is, people were always dumb, Facebook (and internet in general) just makes it more apparent by giving us more oportunities to display our stupidity.
"Some companies I work for write the contract that all code written while employed belongs to the company."

That's why - because it shows evidence of code you produce, are interested in coding on a personal level (as opposed to doing it purely for the paycheck), how you solve problems, how you document code, how well you communicate with others etc.

It does feel like having an active Github is almost a requirement these days - but there are plenty of people who feel this is unfair, see for example -> http://www.ashedryden.com/blog/the-ethics-of-unpaid-labor-an...

On a similar note, Facebook does this as well for video. Take these two browsers: Chrome (with Flash bundled) and Opera (the new shitty one, based on Chromium, with chrome-like user agent and without Flash). Facebook serves Flash video to the browser without flash and HTML video to the browser with Flash.

Why? Fucking user agent.

> I've pretty firmly condemned lack of intellectual rigor for a long time, and by far the most common response I've gotten is "not everyone has the time or will to try to become informed on every issue".

Yeah. A lot of people don't seem to realize that not having an opinion is also a viable, and in those cases the right, option. But it ties to:

> The only reason I can imagine is wanting to feel and seem informed without putting in any of the time to become so.

I'll give you another one - signaling. Especially in debates that have some audience, it's a way for people to show their allegiance. The argument doesn't even have to convince anyone. It seems that most arguments on social media go like this.
It doesn't do either of those; as always, reality is complex and doesn't boil down to soundbite slogans.

I figured you were an Arab Muslim. FYI, Israel has affirmative action where Arabs have a lower standard of admission into medical schools, for example; "racism", perhaps, but of a different sort (which is not to say that no Israelis exist who are racist, just that most aren't and that the state isn't, at least not in comparison to most others.) Where you heard about taking control of Al Aqsa I can only guess; of course 99.99% of Israelis don't want it nor did the state ever attempt it and we let the Waqf destroy Jewish and Muslim archeological artefacts alike as they please there. In general Israel is the hundredth probem on the list of any Arab state, and putting it closer to #1 by singling it out as the one state to be excluded from supply chains etc. is IMO unlikely to help with the first 99. But then again I'm more than a little biased...

They may be looking for developers that are more likely to work unpaid time. Or they might want to know whether you can work on your own without being supervised.
