I dislike employment anti-discrimination laws for this and other reasons. I suggest a compromise of limiting it to manual labor jobs and the like for which the anti-discrimination laws were actually designed for.
The article has too many words like "bets" and "investments".
There is no strategy, other than do something not regulated by the FDA. This is definitely too weak.

A free and great advice: look at Dr Mark Hyman and Dr Dale Bredesen. Study what they do, how they do it and draw your conclusions. I guarantee you, you will be amazed about your own conclusions!
When trying to understand a bug, taking up a new framework, or anything with learning: don't read too fast. Read slowly and make sure you understand it. Read the stack trace. If you're 100% sure the documentation is lacking, read the source code, search through the issues, and ping the maintainer. Make a pull request while you're at it. It's okay to spend 1 day debugging by learning the foundations of a framework, rather than 1 day copy-pasting every StackOverflow answer you come across. That approach wastes your time without learning properly in the process.

6-10 years ago we didn't have all these frameworks and libraries. Junior devs are now faced with a mountain of these things that they can easily copy-paste without understanding what's underneath the hood. Make sure they keep the hacker ethos and try to open up those boxes from time to time, so that they'll understand the foundations of certain pieces of software.
That is the worst conversation. You have to admit you can't do it, and you have to force them to evaluate what is worth what.

Of course, part of that evaluation is you. Almost unavoidable.

They have to admit you are not an infinite resource and that they are asking for more than is realistic.

The very worst is by the time this all happens, they have most likely already pre agreed to just get it done, or they themselves were told to just do it.
So wine can do it? That's pretty sweet.

It seems like it would make sense to combine this with subuser to make sure you keep a known-good version of wine and its configuration. I've known wine compatibility to drift unpleasantly from time to time, or accidentally lost obscure config changes I made once...

(I have fond memories of a time when I could play Supreme Commander on linux in wine... but I've since lost that machine, and I haven't been able to reproduce the dang setup again since :( If subuser had existed back then, I'd probably have a snapshot and I'd be happily playing right now...)
The laws on whether you're allowed to record conversations and whether you have to inform the other party vary from state to state. It's reasonable to expect that if the other party informs you that they're recording it, it's probably safe for you to record it too, but it's worth checking up on your local state's laws.

Choose GitLab for your next open source project
Pardon my question, but where is the money spent ? beside researcher's salaries ? What makes the cost so astronomical ? chemicals ? or maybe a virtually inflated cost from companies selling things at premium because they can making every lab setup a sink ? isn't there a way to improve the system by changing the views or the way work is done ?

I'm thinking about SpaceX, they started from scratch and IIRC they cut the costs by 10 (not even counting the reusable rocket game)
So you're not actually measuring resting heart rate, just average non-active heartrate. Those sounds like two different things.

My FitBit HR (also using an optical sensor) says my resting HR has varied between about 52 and 59bpm over the past 5 weeks, which passes the sniff test. I tend to be in the high 70s/low 80s when standing and moving about, but when I sit down (to work or relax or whatever), it drops into the low 50s. One that really sticks in my mind was the day I did a free go karting session courtesy of blood donation. Wisely, they had us race first, then donate. I got out of the kart, walked to the waiting area, sat down, and 5 minutes later was called back and given a resting HR of 42.
Yes, in previous decades the government could access electronic communications under the third party doctrine[1] that says the fourth amendment only applied to "papers" held by the individual / in their home, not to communications voluntarily placed in the hands of a third party. On the other hand, far less of people's lives was conducted online. I expect that's why no real objections were raised.

Because much intimate communication has moved from in-person/on-telephone/other-instantaneous communications to asynchronous platforms hosted by third parties, in effect much that was "private" is now effectively "public". What once required a warrant now does not. Many things previously subject to protections against unreasonable searches are no longer so protected.

How about tackling one use case where Grid really excels and building up a really strong case and marketing material around that? Like one creative industry project. See https://basecamp.com/tour for an example of making a case study. People can be pretty imaginative about how they can apply a good tool, but right now we (first-timers) can't even see how it clearly works for one specific thing. You may be spreading yourself too thin before you have mindshare and losing people before we even get to see how great the technology is.
My old Fuelband used to register quite a bit of activity while cycling, surprisingly. It would register about half as many Nikefuel per hour as running, but still way way way way above, say, walking, let alone being seated.

I haven't cycled much since I got my fitbit charge hr.

As soon as people like me know, they move on. The day that professors (me) cops (old people) and parents (very old people) start noticing a platform it's time to switch. Some of my students are using services more popular in Asia. But many, particularly females, simply aren't sharing information about themselves as they might have 5-10 years ago. The novelty is gone.
Or it could mean they are determined to change status quo. Take your pick
Well, it won't help folks who want to live in SF, of course, but it's right on the Caltrain line. I would definitely say you could get by in downtown RWC and commute to SF if you desire without a car.

"Political correctness" is a phrase used by assholes who haven't figured out what free speech is. They think it means they can say whatever they like, without fear of repercussions or consequences. And they get very offended and hurt when they find out that isn't so.
You've been given a lot of good advice on here - I concur with all of it. After almost 20 years of writing code I still couldn't tell you how long it would take to debug something in my own codebase. If I can visualise it, sure, I can take a guess, but if not, who knows what I'm going to find.

Given the questions you've asked on here, it really sounds like you were just in a bad environment. You said 3 hours, it took a week - you're a junior, why the hell didn't someone jump in to help out?

Everything you've asked comes down to experience and you need people around to support you in gaining that experience.

Good luck finding a nicer workplace - honestly, sounds like you have the makings of a good inquisitive developer mind. There are plenty of places out there that will help you develop your full potential.

I think this depends on a lot of factors. In my experience, ISP CSRs know that their company docs are complete BS and will change their tone immediately.
So, not worth jumping through all the extra inmigration hoops compared to Australia or New Zealand, not to mention the language barrier.

My grandfather was German-born and they didn't grant the citizeship to him, and I remember the ridiculous requirements he faced trying to get it (and he was more German than most actual Germans, a Fischer Reuter Spangemberg and more German surnames all the way down)

I'm young and I don't want kids. I do not believe that yellow peril is the driving factor in housing costs. Certainly it's a factor, but no one can say how much of a factor it is without solid data. I'm staying, and you can't stop me!

:-)

Fair enough; its a nice city if you're young and you don't have kids. I think a lot of your criticism of other places has to do with things that don't affect you on a day to day basis; America's lax gun laws aren't going to have nearly the same impact on your life as the much better software dev work you'll find there, the higher pay your work will garner, and better housing opportunities you'd have in the US.

I just hope you don't wind up like me; 20 years of C/C++ dev experience in desktop and embedded, and I have no idea what I would do if my current company here in Vancouver went under. There just aren't a lot of job opportunities here, and moving would mean giving up custody of my kids.

You really shouldn't.

While the term engineer is loaded with the licensing and professional aspects, and understandably so, the people working with software very often do actually have to perform the task of engineering solutions.

This is worse than the other serious bug I've been dealing with today in Lightroom.

TL/DR, using Lightroom's import function creates huge amounts of crap video cache files in at least two buried directories regardless if those video files are imported into LR or not. I had a 5-6 GB photo library and 262GB of cache files for video I had not imported. The application has a cache limit, and blew by mine by a factor of 87. Cache purging does not delete the data either.

Anyway, not releated to this particular bug, but I'm not feeling much love for Adobe today.

Actually some private companies do levy taxes. Walmart gets sales tax breaks from certain cities. Walmart will collect the sales tax on a purchase, then pocket the money. This in lieu of sending the tax money to the government and getting a rebate or such.

I'm a 19 year old midwestern college student at an urban school who loved the article, especially the part about being social. My dad always said "it's not what you know, but who you know." Seeing the kinds of connections he made in college, his work, and his church pay off in astounding ways taught me a lot about that.

However I've always had trouble with meeting other people that like to code. Striking up a conversation with people in my CS classes usually ends up in a "don't bother me" sort of situation, and many people I do meet are less into coding and more into video games.

Finding a job in my school's understaffed IT department (help desk) has been a good start to the workforce, but is soul crushing. I'm never rewarded for anything that goes well, and people only remember the times I made customers angry. The job might give me some experience and a nice blip on my resume, but I feel it's setting me up for a soul-crushing sysadmin job at some major corporation around my city.

From the perspective of somebody not even two decades old hopefully you understand that without much social or business experience a lot of these actions are difficult, especially meeting people eager to collaborate on technical projects. You can look back on your life and wish you prepared yourself for your adult life better, but in the moment as a youth there's so much stimuli on campus and paths that I could choose that it really weighs down on me. Do I keep working hard at a boring IT job to make a comfortable, stable living as a sysadmin, settle down with a nice midwestern wife and some kids, and join a Protestant church? Do I work for the Peace Corps for a couple years in China to improve my Chinese language proficiency and risk having rusty tech skills? Do I try moving to some high-rent city with a lot of startups and risk crashing and burning? These are the questions that keep me up at night.

Thanks for reading my rambling slice of life, and thanks for writing this article. It got me thinking more about my future than I typically do on a Friday night in the dorms and helped me get some stuff out of my head. I'll be keeping a lot of these points in mind as ways to improve my chances for success.
I would think you'd want one central hub to effectively control the whole home. That makes sense to me. Like a thin UI wrapper to control EVERYTHING displayed on an LCD panel... in the living room(?). This makes sense because your selling point is a turn-key home. It would stand to reason that if the hardware is turn-key, the software should be too.

Bringing this all under one central control hub would probably take an equal stakeholder in your business. It's just as important as the material aspect of the home. If you don't have the wherewithal for this, you should probably avoid doing ANY kind of fancy electronic stuff. I know the PV panels are a non-negotiable... but I would suggest not going beyond that until you can create an SDK. This manages expectations, and paves a sane "upgrade" path for the hardware. Simple is always better than fancy.

throws up hands Well, you're the one who brought up race, so I'm not sure what you expected.

I think the problem is that you experience US culture via the media, and you experience Canadian culture in real life AND via the media. I don't feel that everything is about race in the US, but obviously it's a pretty damn big deal in the media right now because of globally-known events that have happened really recently. Would you have said the same even 5 years ago?

In a bar in France one time, a group of drunk Canadian women started chatting me up, and the more drunk of the group kept going on and on about how terribly obsessed with celebrities all of us Americans were. She went on and on for 20 minutes about how it's all we care about and all we talk about. Leaving aside the irony of the situation, she refused to listen when I said I simply don't care, it's not a part of my life, and it's not a part of the lives of anyone I know.

But that's what you get when your biggest impression of a place is from its media. That's not to say that it doesn't reflect something real, just that it's not the whole picture.
Some companies refuse to give away or discount for items because then people will spend less on food (with that supplier).

Similarly dated electronics doesn't get given away but gets disposed of because otherwise people could avoid buying new items.

Make things have long warranties and companies will introduce party's that wear, blame the customer, and then be sure those parts aren't available anymore.

To do this properly we need to transition away from capitalism; but the most powerful capitalists are the ones with the power to force the transition.
It depends on the company's management committee. If they do not come from an technical background, you'll be treated as such. If they came from a "technical background", but:

1) they have no open source projects or other tools made for developers
2) view software development as a low-level work
3) played Spreadsheet Warrior most of the time during their "technical career"

You'll know they gamed a corporate ladder. They turn out to be more vicious than "sales and marketing based" management committees: because with their "experience" they'll call out your "lack of skill" when things go wrong.

> I don't think the telephone has ever been as important as access to the internet

Maybe you're thinking from some perspective I'm not seeing, but this sounds odd to me.

Prior to the telephone, geographically separated people were days, weeks, or months apart when communicating with letters. The change from that to being to call people on a whim must have been life changing.
I think it's a symptom of something else: the hyper-centralization of relevance and cultural center of gravity in only a few places.

When I was younger (1990s), I don't remember it mattering so much where you were located. I've spoken to older people and they concur: they've all said that when they were young being in, say, Indianapolis or Toledo was not a big deal.

Today, at least in the USA, there's a strong sense that you're nobody unless you are in one of about eight big coastal cities. Nothing happens anywhere else.

I'm talking about perception here. You can argue that this isn't really true, and that you can do anything most anywhere, but the cultural perception is that you're nobody and can't do anything unless you are in NYC, SF, LA, etc.

I'm a startup founder and have been told by several people on several occasions that we are doomed because we are not in the Bay Area. I'm in SoCal but apparently if we're not in SF or its Southern suburbs it's impossible to succeed as a tech company. Obviously I don't believe this, but the meme is strong. If enough people take this stuff seriously, it's going to contribute to a hell of a property bubble in SF/SV.

I still don't understand why this is the case, especially since the Internet was supposed to have the opposite effect. By making information globally available and communication easy, the Internet was supposed to flatten the world and make place less relevant. Instead I've noticed a strong and obvious trend in the opposite direction since circa 2000.

I can only comment on the USA, but what I see elsewhere seems to support this being a global thing. London has gone totally insane for example. I wonder if the Internet is actually having a paradoxical centralizing effect here, allowing larger cities to broadcast their cultural "signal" and then have that signal amplified enough by network effects to make them appear exponentially more and more influential. This in turn drives a feedback loop in which talent and ambition is drawn increasingly to these cities, etc., and the rest of the country is hollowed out.

It's actually part of an even larger trend. Since 2000 everything seems to have gone increasingly power law: wealth distribution, geographic relevance, education, etc.
