You should definitely put up an About page.

With a photo. And personal contact details. And some idea of the kinds of fiction you like.

There are plenty of publishing sites, but they all have an angle. There's no point submitting certain kinds of stories to certain sites because they don't fit their niche. (E.g. Strange Horizons doesn't do space opera.)

It would be useful if you worked out what your angle is, so authors understand it. Just having an angle would make you seem more like someone with a genuine interest in fiction.

Don't link to LinkedIn. Most authors won't be interested.

Include payment terms ("on acceptance", "on publication", "30 days after publication", etc.)

Make a few purchases and get yourself on the SFWA approved market list:

Hm, no. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_That_Rabbit

Found the one I was thinking of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaround_%28story%29 It's interesting that I remember the story incorrectly.
> What it looks like is that a recruiter has paid a third party service to retrieve my CV it scraped from Monster in 2014 and get my contact details. Contact details that shouldn't exist in the open.

In 2014 your profile was public, so your contact information did exist in the open. May not be legal for a company to crawl Monster to store information though, you would have to look at Monster's terms of service (for example LinkedIn doesn't allow apps to store LinkedIn data, only to retrieve them via the API).

>I understand that placing my personal details on a job board would have resulted in everyone and their mother being able to read and save it, but I didn't really think that my CV and personal contact details would have been archived and continued to be used by recruiters long after I disabled my account.

Everything you put on the Internet is available to everybody until the end of times. Internalize that and you'll be fine :)

> I disabled my account as an indication that I was no longer looking for work, contacting me in this way is fairly blatantly ignoring this preference.

Recruiters don't give a damn about your preferences. Just blacklist this guy.
This was my 2nd go-round at MS. I also worked there for 5 years, earlier in my career, and had a better time. This time, I was working as a contractor, so switching teams was not an option. And again, the day-to-day was so horrific, that soldiering on was also not an option.

As far as my goal - that's what I'm trying to figure out. For practical purposes, it may be mostly about avoiding webdev. However, this most recent job was not webdev, yet it was still an absurdly convoluted architectural hodge-podge. So, one thing I may be looking for is more homogeneity. It's not about size or complexity, per se. I've worked on many large, complex projects and had a good time.

What turns me off about webdev is a) new frameworks being hyped every month, and b) the architecture of a modern web app gives me a headache. I want to return to a time when I used to spend most of my time on data, algorithms, and writing code, with a single API being the worst "necessary evil" in the mix.

I totally believe that it's easier to learn English than

because the writing system gives you more hints, but that

strictly speaking.

Sorry, I wasn't actually trying to bring up the writing system at all! I put both English and Mandarin in the "harder" category, even though English's writing system is simpler (though still not as simple as many).
This is a great point. IT professionals tend to overestimate both their numbers in and influence on the general population.

I feel like the title is a misnomer given the article is called "ESP8266: This $5 Microcontroller with Wi-Fi is now Arduino-Compatible," and on that front it's really easy to get started with these [0]! ESP8266 boards abound on AliExpress, the easiest of which to get started with are NodeMCU variants. One example with seemingly good documentation is the Wemos D1 Mini [1] that comes with a USB-to-serial chip onboard. Here's another decent reference I found to getting started with them [2].

They could remount it read-write, but they don't. If systemd had made a unilateral change that broke existing userspace people would have been unhappy for a different reason. Doing this in-kernel means that the issue could be fixed without breaking existing userspace, so it's clearly the better solution.
+1

The kernel developers are continuously working around bad behaviour by bios/firmware authors. It is the right place.
You have one of the most marketable skills in the world (programming), you've been at it for a good while (at least since C jobs were commonplace, apparently) but you're sleeping on couches and only lasted 4 months at your last job?

Thanks! I see I already commented on your request 20 days ago and I've left a new one just now. Cool that you have started creating your repo's on GitLab.
It still seems to me that Linux should follow FreeBSD and not mount it as a filesystem and just use a library to manipulate the values. It clearly has some huge problems with being a filesystem. This isn't Plan 9 and everything does not have to be a file.
> Does anyone actually say "smartphone" except (vanishingly rarely) when necessary to describe the device in contradistinction to "dumbphones"?

True. My beef isn't about "smart" however, it's about "phone". I believe my point stands even more acutely in this light.
The app itself looks really nice, but I'm unconvinced this will be useful in practice. The number of times our company has sent a contract and had it accepted without revisions is literally 0, and I see no way to customize the terms of the agreement beyond the pre-filled fields.

I guess what I'm getting at is this: if this is intended to be a tool for generating, signing, and managing contracts there must be more flexibility in actually drafting the contract language. If it's supposed to be a tool for invoicing clients, I see no way to actually invoice for contracts provided by a third-party.

By the way, I have to warn people who are thinking about trying this chip (as I have done in other comments):

The bare chip won't be very useful to you, unless you want to design your own PCB. Instead, I would recommend a breakout board. There are two major types:

Something like the WeMos D1 Mini (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/D1-mini-Mini-NodeMcu-4M-bytes...) or NodeMCU (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NodeMCU-LUA-WIFI-Internet-Developmen...), which are very full-featured and include onboard USB programmers and fancy things like that, but are a bit bulky. The NodeMCU I linked is solid, the WeMos is also great as it's much smaller and only includes the useful pins.

The alternative is a bare breakout board, which is the minimum that you need to make the ESP breadboard-friendly and so you don't have to solder a bunch of resistors on the chip. This is best when you want to work at a lower level, and have the minimum hardware required for the ESP to work on the board, with everything else going in your circuit.

There are breakout boards on ebay like this one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/1Set-ESP8266-WiFi-Module-Breakout-Bo...). STAY AWAY FROM THESE. They don't include all the necessary components, so the ESP won't work reliably without extra pullups, and they take up the entire breadboard space.

Because I was burnt by these, I designed my own and made it open-source:

https://github.com/skorokithakis/tiny-ESP8266-breakout

It's easier to work with, leaves room on the breadboard and includes all necessary resistors/caps and an optional voltage regulator. It's also very small. There's a dirtypcbs link on the github repo so you can just order 40 of these for $14 if you like, or you can just download the KiCad schematics (KiCad is awesome and open-source) and get it fabricated at your favorite PCB house.

Back to our regularly scheduled programming. Feel free to copy/paste this comment whenever there's an ESP discussion, I think it's a good primer for people who don't have ESP experience.

Is there a specific benefit to having this built on top of React rather than just wrapping an existing editor's API [1][2][3]? Is it cross-usability for React-native or just NIH syndrome?

I'm not sure how I feel about re-implementing all the things and introducing a React dependency to everything. The lock-in seems okay if React really is the final word in UI frameworks (though it is very large and currently very slow). I am certainly not in this camp, however.

It's firmware. It's supposed to brick your system if you ruin it. Firmware is basically hardware. It's not a multi-user protected-mode operating system.

It's the responsibility of the OS to make sure it doesn't ruin firmware.

For me it's totally understandable that you dislike what the recruiter did. He

This is why we have laws about personally identifiable information in EU.
It worked with rpm so I assume dnf should work as well. Maybe you have to update your sources first since we have our own package server? If maybe you installed the package by downloading instead of adding the source server? Consider following the instructions on https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/ (the main instructions, not 'select and download the package manually and install')
Well, you definitely don't have to use React for the rest of your app if you don't want to – you can use a Draft component inside any web app.

You could also use the underlying Draft model and manage the view entirely yourself, but React helps a lot here and removes a lot of complexity from Draft.

The Republican frontrunner is popular mostly because he has nothing to do with the government, and has no respect for most of the government.

Anyway, looking at presidential candidates is not that useful, because I think a huge amount of voters would say something like "I don't trust the government at all, that's why I'm voting for <x>".

There are some deductions you can take in addition to the standard deduction (student loan interest, moving expenses, some education expenses, etc). These all change the adjusted gross income, from which the standard deduction (or itemized deduction) is subtracted.

Jailbreaks address a different type of vulnerability - that of incorrectly written code or poorly designed systems, that can lead to a privilege escalation.

The vulnerability that the FBI are using is the ability of Apple to update the iPhone with arbitrary code, provided it has been signed with their secret key. It's an important feature, of course, but still a security vulnerability - albeit an irrelevant one for the vast majority of iPhone users.
>No, it would not. New custom software has to be developed. Software that can then fall into the wrong hands, from crooks with stolen phones, to nation states.

Only if Apple stupidly wrote a generic firmware that could run on any iPhone and then lost it. That risk is essentially zero.

If Apple reasonably complied with the order, it would be as dangerous as any other Apple update, which is to say not dangerous at all.

>Seriously, it boggles the mind that they are asking for the security to be weakened, because terrorists.

In this case, there is no weakening.

One way to think of the contracts piece is as a RocketLawyer or LegalZoom verticalized for freelancers. We provide contracts that are written and maintained specifically for freelancers, and that beats 99.9% of the generic templates you'll find on the internet.

The fact is, nothing beats having a lawyer create and review every one of your contracts. However, that's simply not feasible for most freelancers. Our goal is then to provide something straightforward enough that will cover the majority of issues in the majority of cases.

Re the disclaimer, it's actually completely standard for any site that touches legal issues or content.

Check out the TOS of RocketLawyer (https://www.rocketlawyer.com/ter...) or LegalZoom (https://www.legalzoom.com/legal/...), two huge companies and pioneers in the field, and you'll find the same there.
Sad that this is getting downvotes, it's one of the most important points about this vast machine we are building around ourselves: You cannot secure [people who suffer from] ignorance. "No uneducated user is safe." Very much so.

Personally, I feel that this is a disgraceful failing on the part of the global computer industry et. al., but that is beside the main issue of, "What the heck are we going to do about this!?"
Yes, but it's reflecting the light back at the spacecraft. So, even though it would accelerate quickly away from the spacecraft, the light reflected back at the spacecraft would be used to decelerate the spacecraft. So long as the daughter sail never hits C (thanks, physics), it's always reflecting back photons back at the spacecraft (though red-shifted).

You'd still have to account for the light coming from the source as well as from the daughter sail, but a black coating on the back of the spacecraft's reflector would take care of that; it would give you n force pushing you away from the original light source, and 2n pushing you towards the source.

The coordination and planning required for such a device would not be trivial, but it would be possible.
At least now, Google only permits you to get a Voice number if you can prove you have another US number to forward to (they dial you to verify). Although I do have a US number, that's only because I happen to be working in the US right now; if I weren't I probably wouldn't.

Also a lot of apps in various other countries (notably China, because I'm familiar with it) do registrations via SMS, in which you need a +86 number in order to register, period. Smaller companies don't have the infrastructure to send international SMS verification numbers. Larger Chinese companies (e.g. Weibo, Wechat) permit registration with a US number, but they're larger companies who have servers in the US and infrastructure with US SMS gateways. So running around the world with a US number isn't always practical. If SMS is dethroned as a "de facto" communication method that everyone is expected to have, this might change. Other places besides China may also have a similar situation.
Also, accent marks are never used with day-to-day words outside of primary school and dictionaries.

I remember putting my music on MP3 players for the last 12 years, having non-MP3 CDs before that, and being able to perform basic operations on them blind and one-handed.

You remember through rose colored glasses then.

Try using that non-touch early 00's compact camera again (and no cheating with DSLRs with dedicated aperture and speed dials). As for the "blind and one-handed" operation with the non-mp3 CDs, did that include changing through 200+ albums and 2000+ tracks?

Except for making a JS engine that is fast enough to run your framework dujour.

All the leverage in high-level coding comes from the stability of the underlying layers. Even though those lower levels see less churn, we absolutely need people to maintain them, and these dev bootcamps certainly aren't churning out candidates who fit the bill.
Is it more perfect than e.g. https://github.com/zenoamaro/react-quill ?

My point is, if you can have a truly reusable component with an API that can be integrated into anywhere (including a React wrapper), what do you gain by making a component that can only live in React and have no other re-usability to speak of?

There are many drawbacks, but React-native is the only benefit as far as I can see, which requires a firm React commitment.
It's an old debate, and I think it can be summed up in a single sentence:

Government would be awesome if it worked right

I would give the FBI everything if I trusted them. A monarchy/dictatorship would be most efficient if there were a way to guarantee a good monarch/benevolent dictator.
I would like to be excited for irrelevant things like this as most people on this thread.
Looks way more secure than mine that's for sure. You don't think a product like this can become a trustworthy product, why?
As I see it you trust your version of it, so if it was a decentralized system it would be a great fit for you. Plus, if it's written and reviewed by an open source community I think its value increases even more!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
