6/10. I'm less than 3 years into my career, but I think I've worked for some of the best companies with great pay, benefits, environments, etc, including a tech giant and two startups. End of the day though, work is boring. Its always work. Your time and effort is going towards making someone else rich and their
priorities are more important than your own.
The only things I really look forward to are vacations and events outside of work. Learning things is always exciting and sometimes its extremely rewarding
getting a project (or even a feature) off the ground and seeing a company rise and beat projections. But then a few weeks later, its just back to work and
nothings really different. Its a temporary victory at best, then expectations just get higher and more grind.

I can second this. I have been working in the industry for 10 years and I figured that while I work for (probably big) companies and code someone else's ideas I'm stuck. Not to mention that the bigger the company the more enterprisy the software.

That's why I started to do my own development on my own ideas at home. Ever since I started to do so I'm feeling much better. I regularly contribute to GitHub projects as well. I also feel rejuvenated by being LEAN and using the fewest possible 3rd party libraries. Now I know the code I'm using since I can see the source of all libraries I use and they are much simpler than the enterprise stuff. I'm sure that after a number of successful side projects I will be able to work on my stuff full time. This is my primary focus at the moment and the thought of achieving this makes me more happier now reaching a 7/10.

How to use data to make a hit TV Show
I find my job real boring (not programming itself) and I'm not sure if it's going to change. I'm not sure if I could risk getting a better programming job and my workplace would be left in a bad place if I actually do leave. It depresses me.
At least there are also some nice twitter interactions around that, other people saying thanks and apologizing for hitting the service after it shut down.
Cool plugin, but it's quiet ironic that their test utility uses (and needs) jQuery hosted by Google to work.

Checkout the source here: https://decentraleyes.org/test/

It would be much better to serve jQuery from the decentraleyes.org domain and run the test with that.

tl;dr: It needs jQuery from Google to test if jQuery from Google can be loaded via $.ajax.

Really stoked!! I love what I do (front end, design, occasional dalliance further back the stack). I taught myself HTML and CSS in my earlier years of high school and kept building upon those skills through university. I actually studied an unrelated field but getting an entry level job in it was difficult even after a masters so started working in tech and it's a blast being able to come into work every day, do an activity I love, and get paid more than I'd be getting paid doing my credentialed field.

Some days I'm just in awe of how lucky I am.

>I know there are plenty of good reasons why humans have decided to live in cities, but I can't help thinking there's a better way.

The fallacy is in believing you can't have both a reasonable cost of living and the benefits of a city. There are plenty of such places, globally. As more and more people realize that it's unnecessary to assemble in specific places I think we'll see a sea change. Programmers are going to be some of those most able to take advantage of it (they already are).
All these "evolutionary arguments" -- this isn't real science. It's just a bunch of "just so" stories that are tested in some of the flimsiest ways (one phenomenon demonstrated to a statistically significant degree -- therefore that must have been "the reason for the evolutionary change").

Listen, tons of features that an animal has are not correlated so highly to survival as to make enough selective pressure to make that feature come to completely dominate a population. I am very skeptical of the widely "held" assumption otherwise.

For example, lets say the human anorectal angle was specifically "evolved" for pooping while squatting. Is it a "just so" story or did the exact anorectal angle contribute SO MUCH to survival or reprosuction that it became the standard for bipedal humans?

Consider just how much relative advantage with survival and replication any given feature must have in order to come to dominate ALL the other features that are competing in the population. And this is in just one area. During a single reproduction, there are tons of genetic and epigenetic variables that could be selected for, which determine different things. Why would a specific feature in a specific part of the body, that provides merely a minor improvement at any given time, come to completely replace all other genotype expressions? I have never seen a good analysis of this, just hopeful handwaving, especially in popular books like The Selfish Gene.

> Inertia, mostly.

I agree with inertia, but I want to add a few more details from experience that could shed a bit more light onto it:

* There are not that many open journals around (see e.g. [1], probably slightly outdated); plus the throughput of a journal is generally low (the linked journal ToC has published 20 articles in 2015).

* Graduate students often want to maximize the impact of the journal they're submitting it to simply because the work itself is say of medium importance to the field.

* The review process takes a lot of time, it can even take more than 100 days. This encourages the researcher into trying as few journals as possible, which benefits the more impacted, more numerous closed journals.

* At least at my university neither the administration nor the school library promote open journals in any significant way. Which is strange, seeing as they are the ones paying the journal subscription fees.

Dealing with Stress
I enjoy working as a programmer but I do not enjoy it as much as programming as a hobby, which I do too.

I have found that my growing skills outpace the level of challenge provided in my day job. I just think this is a fact of life when your work stems from your hobby.

As an analogy, I think of someone who works with metals (e.g my father). The type of work asked of him was routine stuff where as he was free to sculpt cool gifts for his family. The unfortunate fact is that it's easier to make a living doing routine stuff since those requirements are far more common.

Perhaps there is a company that would match skill growth with challenge growth but somehow I think I'm in a sort-of 'limbo' where I'm not skilled enough or hold the experience to work at those places so I must resign myself to the less interesting jobs.
That was my first thought, too. A cursory search didn't yield anything. I'm tempted to suggest it to my friend as our next project - we're going to do a game project every month this year (or at least: trying to, already behind schedule).

I thought so too. However, the funny thing with market economy is that it IS pretty efficient, so jobs that are regarded as satisfying and challenging are approached by so many talented people that they don't have to pay very well and the conditions are usually not great.

The solution is to either accept that the role of a career is to get to you to early retirement ASAP (Mr Money Mustache style) or to get excited about something that most people don't care about.

Deep learning may not be intelligence is any real sense, but it's still working considerably better than anybody could have anticipated just a few years ago. Now, if only we understood why... ;-)

Yes I'd agree with this, there needs to be a deeper level analysis for how the cognitive functions within the brain, for example how vision in the brain works. Such understanding will clearly take a great amount of effort to achieve, and I don't know if research enough research is aimed in this deeper theoretical direction, as opposed to neural net type machine learning.

Adding the cognitive overhead of memory management for a web app is rarely going to be worth it. Unfortunately there are there a certain class of devs who are always going to chase the latest shiny thing (and they are predominately web developers, for some reason).
Maybe. I still have to decide at the point of download whether I want to pay, albeit a small amount, for the article in question. I don't say it can't work. For a long time, it's how we paid for telephone service. And it works for music/movies, although those goods each have their own unique characteristics--even if subscriptions are becoming more popular. (Music you reuse; the movie watching experience is something of a commitment.)

Of course, subscriptions have their own issues especially if the content sources are fragmented.

The easiest way to start is to look for non profits operating in your area - or close to you - ask them to go have coffee with you (use LinkedIn). Do a virtual chat if necessary / pressed for time or distance. Discuss their work, and I guarantee you that ideas will come rushing out, this is what makes us tick. Then, just start. Do something for someone, talk about it.

This is strikingly similar to previous incidents with the NTP protocol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTP_server_misuse_and_abuse). Several of these incidents also displayed the "retry immediately on failure" behavior.

In this case, since it's TCP, there might have been an alternate solution: use the iptables hashlimit module (or a similar in his operating system) to drop the SYN packet if the client retries too fast. The sending TCP stack should make it wait for a reasonable timeout before trying again, assuming the application only retries after the previous connection attempt finished.

I can't believe how stupid Microsoft is. This is never a bug. You can't be that amateurish.

A fun thing about Blendle is that it is open source. At least, the front-end is, and probably unintentionally.

They left their Webpack source maps on the server [1]. Chrome automatically unpacks the source map into a directory structure in the 'sources' debug view. It's nice to see how they are building their React application.

On two separate occasions, four months ago and a year ago, I've sent them an email about this, but never got a reply back.

I somewhat agree with you. I don't find Barry Lyndon to be in the class of the three films you list. I think it's a good film--and a tour de force with respect to cinematography and general production design--but may of the criticisms leveled at it when it first came out still apply.
This is a topic is rarely talked about because maintaining history and attribution is valuable.

The 'easy' approach is to split the codebase up into modules that can be versioned independently.

A more extreme approach would be to store the previous history away as a separate branch and squash related changes with the log referencing the commits that make up the aggregate.

Feature branches accomplish this to some degree and it's not unusual for OSS maintainers to request that added features get squashed but they also tend to dispose of the branches that contain the more granular history of changes.

In addition, if you have tiers of credits (so you have 3 distinct credits, rather than just replacing euro sign with a credit sign), you lose plenty of flexibility.

Personally I found it remarkable for it's involved story, excellent cinematography, the classical music, the staging. His selection of classical performances was so enchanting and perfect for me. You could take stills from the movie and frame them, they're so well constructed and composed. Yes you could say the story was not as enthralling at times as the movies you mentioned, I found it dragged a bit, but Kubrick films are often very slow moving. https://stillsfrmfilms.wordpress.com/2013/11/12/barry-lyndon...
About 6 months ago I think. It was pre-1.0 and yes some things weren't fully mature. Maybe I'll give it a whirl again soon.

I was initially excited about Rust because it appeared to achieve system programming language performance and stability with application programming language expressiveness.

The nature of static typed languages doesn't allow for things like first class lazy JSON serde. Java, C, C++, C# all have the same issue.

In the grand scheme of things it's not a huge deal if performance is #1 but I value my enjoyment level while coding.
