120 is not that high. If you have fine-granular modules for re-use across multiple product lines, you need lots of projects. Yes, one can create several solutions for each line, but many times one needs to load all the projects especially feature teams that touch a little-bit everywhere.
I haven't used facebook in s long time, but I would have said that messages posted on people's walls (the more emails looking screenshot) are different from Facebook messenger chat messages (the chat looking screenshot), so it's totally up to the user to decide which one is posted where. At least that was the case in 2011ish when I last used FB

Very much agree here

>BBC Arabic and France 24 are pro-Israel

I find this hard to believe, especially BBC Arabic being pro-Israel. The English language BBC is pretty critical- it would be surprising if the Arabic language articles are more neutral or sometimes positive.

> It was proven several times with the "stress tests" of Bitcoin network.

An attack on the network doesn't prove anything about the economic incentives that make up the mechanics of the system. Bigger blocks hold more data and transactions pay by the kilobyte. That's all there is to it.

Increased fees per transaction may give more money in the short term, but ultimately it isn't how a crypto currency will be sustained, because at any point a fork could have lower fees.

Comparing Low Power Wireless Technologies
If anyone is interested on the current state of the search, the Australian government kindly shares weekly updates on the progress. So far, the team has throughly searched 80,000 square km of seafloor out of the planned 120,000 sq km. They expect to finish the remaining 40,000 sq km by mid-year. If nothing is found by that point, the search will be called off for cost reasons (Australia and Malaysia have spent well over $100m on the search). Best wishes to the team; hopefully they find the plane so we can finally get some closure on this tragedy.

Here's a link to their search progress page:

The email style message view is the same chat content in a different UI. It's a full screen view that looks vaguely like Outlook - message threads are listed on the left and the majority of the screen is dedicated to reading the messages.

It's much nicer to use for browsing your message history or writing something more detailed without having to mess around with tiny chat windows.

There is also https://www.messenger.com/, which is a similar UI but available as standalone site.

Messages posted on people's walls are also public to all their friends, which I'm sure plays a larger role in reception than the UI they use to consume the message, and certainly influences what you're willing to say.

It depends a lot on the company and the team but I think instead of just the new dev shouting out "Can anyone help me?", there would be a senior dev dedicated to you. That way that person knows it's her/his job to help you out and it's okay if that means you don't get so much done. At the same time other people on the team will be able to focus on their work.

Instead of linking to my email address, which I would never allow, let me just forward the relevant emails to you, i.e. to a special email address linked to me account.

It's pretty easy to add a rule in most email providers that forward only message matching certain patterns - you could even provide documentation of what patterns to include.
If you're interested in Buddhist meditation but in a more laid back environment, I highly recommend the retreats at the Thich Nhat Hanh affiliated monasteries in the US (Deer Park in San Diego, Blue Cliff in NY). It's only a couple hours per day of sitting, interspersed with talks, small group discussions, and various other calm activities. Everything is basically optional since they don't take attendance, you could sit in your room all day if you wanted, but I found all of it rewarding. At the end they stressed that the purpose of all this mindfulness and sitting is to increase awareness and compassion within oneself, so that you can deepen relationships with everyone, Buddhist or not. The days usually started at 5:30 but they warned us not to try to recreate this schedule at home, "because it would just cause suffering." So they're totally not humorless ascetics.

They also served some amazing vegan food.

When I was a child in, my parents had a mechanical thermostat with a timer. So did my grandma, and her system was even older.

You could set two pairs of heating times, and control which (or both/none) were used. There was an override until the next set point.

This was 1980s stuff, or maybe even earlier.

> You simply need to rebuild whatever binaries you run

"Stack", not "app". That includes, say, Docker. Or nsq. Which are packaged by the operating system (because, as noted in a reply to `tptacek, paying me to build out what they get from the operating system is generally not something a client is going to want to do). And which will not be updated as conscientiously as I can expect a core library on my system to be updated.

> As an aside, do you have any idea how pretentious you come across?

Pretension, frustration, whichever. My low opinion of Go aside, it's my job to deal with the details of my clients' stacks, make a coherent experience for their developers, and deal with the system-level security concerns they don't think about. If getting annoyed that Go and its community make my life suck a little bit more in ways it need not suck is pretension, I'm really gonna be okay with that. I mean, jeez, it's 2016. "Rebuild the entire world when a mouse farts" is fragile, dangerous garbage that puts the lie to the idea of "engineering" in this profession. We should be better than this. (And Go's first iteration, lovingly called Java 1.4, was. We're going backwards.)

If my clients would pay me for it, I certainly would. But `package 'foo'` is a lot cheaper than that, turns out.

And while I 100% agree about the optimal case, in practical terms you're going to see a lot better turnaround from the maintainers of Debian's OpenSSL than, say, the third-party Docker repo. A sane system not reliant on static linking 'til the cows come home is not a cure-all, but it's better than the Go situation, and is a part of why I'm super not thrilled with Go-as-infrastructure. (Go-as-app, whatever, people take that problem on themselves.)
When I'm bored I pick a random section and read it. I was really fascinated by the section on sorting networks for example.

The real gems are the exercises and answers to them; there's at least as much useful/applicable stuff as in the main text. I tried to solve them, but found myself unable to proceed with them if difficulty was > 20, even if I understood the concepts. I have no idea on how to attack them. (Even non-mathematical ones.)

IMHO, TAOCP needs "Volume 0" which would teach you problem solving in this particular domain. (No, "Concrete mathematics" is not it. That book is, IMHO, awful: many problems depend on having tricks up your sleeve.)

Any tips on how to approach exercises which seemingly don't have a lot to do with the preceding text?

I've only skimmed the comments since I'm busy working on two startups. But I'll give you some bluntly honest advice.

The real measure of any kind of manager regardless of their title, be it CTO, CEO, Department Head, "Team Leader" or just "Lead Programmer", is just two things.

Do you get the job done?

Do you make things better for those under you?

It really helps to get feedback from your team, learn how to do this well and you'll be better at adapting to each new team you work with in order to be able to answer "Yes" to those questions.

>How does that square? I mean, I have one copy of a shared library on any of my machines.

That's all well and good, but that's just you. Real systems often get messed with multiple copies/versions of shared libraries. Also known as dll-hell in Windows. In Java land you could easily end up with 20 versions of some jars just as easily, all installed locally by maven and needed by this or that lib/framework/etc.

>Or rather, I do, but that's because it's my job, and I'm actually good at my job.

Or worse: having only the second message delivered and being then asked to re-send the first one, which will now show after what logically was supposed to be the second part.
Yeah, even my mid 90s built house had that. It was easy to see how it worked, too—a big spinning wheel that represented the 24 hours in a day. There were little plastic arrows you'd snap onto the outside of the ring at the appropriate time. Red ones and blue ones. Each color had an indentation in a slightly different place so as the wheel spun past the "now" marker, it would flip one of two switches. The switches controlled energy saving mode.

It actually wasn't super intuitive (in cooling mode it inverted the sense of energy saving mode, if I recall correctly), but it was easy and never failed me once I set it up.
I haven't seen that on a decently-maintained Linux system--certainly not any I'd call a "real system"--in a really long time, unless they're side-by-side packages from the OS.
You are right. A few years ago, googleupdate.exe would scan all your hard drives, it would be interesting to know what they did with all that data.

That's why I spent several hundred dollars on a copy of Windows. But can you imagine my reaction when Microsoft secretly installed tracking software to collect my personal data!?

Some times when I open up a new app, copy something into clipboard, or search on the web, there will be outgoing connections to akamai / microsoft servers.

Internet Yields Uneven Dividends and May Widen Inequality
If a person contacts me and asks a question or says something that requires a fuller response, am I then meant to replay "sorry, this isn't the medium for that"? Or should developers and companies start putting more effort into good UX?

Twitter is another one, the desktop version of Twitter serves a mobile version of Twitter; a timeline that is less than a third of the width of the screen I'm now using. Now, I realise that the brevity of the messages means they could appear strange looking if stretched accross the page, but as Twitter expands to include more than simple text media, the UI needs to adapt. Twitter appears quite silly on a desktop as of today (imo) and doesn't even make good use of the Bootstrap 12 column layout.

> Turns out, copyright law is the thing that was broken all along.

While copyright law is being used as a legal wedge, the problem isn't just copyright. These arguments are often framed as being about copyright because obscures the other half of the problem, which is how these arguments ignore doctrine of first sale[1].

Case law has been confusing in this area, with cases such as Vernor v. Autodesk, Inc supporting the power grab where "licensing" overrules first sale. Other cases such as UMG v. Augusto reaffirmed that the original author's rights ended at the first sale. In our future that obviously includes software in many, many products, we either strongly reaffirm the right of first sale or we give up ownership[2] to whomever owns the software inside our products.

The DMCA is only part of the problem; this attack on first sale - an attack on the open exchange of culture[4] - has been going on a lot longer than the digital computer has existed.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine

[2] obviously, the actual copying of the software - instead of repair, resale, or other non-copying[3] uses

[3] if time-shifting is a valid use for betamax (Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc.), then any incidental, temporary copies of software that art part of normal use is fair use. The nonsense that a license is needed because a copy is made in RAM is patent nonsense.
