Personally I think it'd be a pretty big distraction if everyone knew exactly how much everyone else made. I don't really care to know what the head of accounting is making, or what the customer support lead is making. If the company needs someone with a super-specialized skill and has to pay them 3x what I'm being paid, what business is it of mine?

If the company needed my skills desperately and I was offered 3x the salary that a current new hire is getting, I don't see how that's helping or hurting anyone else. If anything, I think knowing about it would lead to other company issues that are just a distraction from the overall business.
This is less an issue of banding together behind Apple's decision, and more about retaining moral and intellectual control of their software.

If the government can get a warrant to force you to ship a patch, regardless of the scope, you are giving the government control over every aspect of how you write code, and the next logical step is a CALEA style requirements that ensures that your build process has lawful code injection capabilities.

I can't even begin to say how awful that would be for the entire industry.

Israel's continued existance is of national interest to many governments. They're an important political ally, critical to the stability in the region and the ability of the west to project power into the middle east.

Also keep in mind that much of that money flows back to the US.

Overall this is a small investment in ensuring that Israel is so incredibly well defended that nobody in the surrounding area could ever come close to believing they have a chance against them.

Generalization is important. It helps us manage complexity.

When making generalizations, or stereotyping, it is definitely a good thing to talk about the median person.

For instance, Bernie Sanders gets a lot of his appeal by appealing to the generalized, stereotyped american public. Its an incredibly important skill to be able to make those generalizations in order to get appeal. When talking about "Wall Street" his message is not "this is a multifaceted topic". Instead Wall Street is stereotyped to simplify his arguments.
I am dyslexic, and just for some background info I have uncorrected 20/20 vision but my symptoms are exacerbated by comorbid ADHD. I'm sure everyone experiences it differently, but the image on the left is a pretty close approximation of what I often see when trying to read from a page:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9c/Dyslexic...

Say I was reading the line "...as well as other perceptual tasks." I would insert words from inside the "circle" so it would appear to me like "23 other reading tasks" or something (often times it will make no sense, which is my cue that I need to re-read the whole thing).

Other times I might just read a word like "presidental", then look back at it and suddenly it says "prudential" as if it changed when I wasn't looking at it (and I'd swear I knew it said 'presidential' the first time).

Writing and typing are a whole other can of worms that I won't open here, but suffice it to say that I've never experienced the dancing letters like in the OP.
Maybe it's a biological choice, maybe it's cultural and social momentum from hundreds of years of forcing gender roles legally and violently.

When the descender is largely perpendicular to the text, like p or j, there is a nice balance between what is below and what is above the underline. But with g, the most frequently appearing descender in english, the look is not as nice.

Absolutely! I reject the base assumption of this whole discussion that your salary is a measure of your worth as a person.
I've used it, and I've been using rr. gdb's reverse debugging was useful to me a few times, in extremely limited situations.

I often do my initial runs under rr, just in case I might want to debug, because it's useful most of the time and it's not enough overhead to worry about.

gdb's reverse debugging works after you narrow the range of interest down to a very small region, because otherwise its buffer will repeatedly overflow and it'll take ages.

I was bitten by this this week. Tried to reuse my installer to install OS X El Capitan on a MBP without redownloading it over my super-fast 2Mbps internet connection.

First, I try to install it by just copying the installer app - "can't be verified".

Then I make a bootable USB stick using DiskMaker X - "can't be verified". I run an integrity check on the installer - all good.

I then try running `/path/to/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/USB-STICK --applicationpath /path/to/Install\ OS\ X\ El\ Capitan.app --nointeraction` - "can't be verified".

Finally I give up and the system is installed via the App Store. The download fails once, it finally completes, and I am left clueless as to why I couldn't reuse the old installer.

An "expired certificate" error message would have saved me many hours. It's unfortunate for the user that Apple puts so little emphasis on letting them be their own tech support.
Yes thank you for the clarification. I have been mostly pleased with the things I've seen and heard from the rust community and I really should dive in.

I am pleased to hear that Cargo, rather than attempting to be a rust-specific make replacement, is a tool that obviates the need for using make or make-like tools by automating the things you would have used it for, only.

Make and Cargo together sounds like just what I wanted to hear, and your hobby OS project sounds like fun.

Finally, I think it's great that Rust will be using Cargo itself soon, but I am curious if the reverse is possible -- if I want to put in the extra effort, can I build my own rust software in make alone WITHOUT Cargo?

There's another one I've seen: climbing the wrong hill. Consider a news website doing A/B testing on headlines, and optimizing for getting more clicks on an individual headline compared to other candidates in the slot. The problem is conflating "people want to click on a headline after visiting our site" with "people want to visit our site", and optimizing for the former at the expense of the latter.

The end result is clickbait headlines that alienate visitors while they fight to grab attention.

Yours finally worked due to a hot fix we did ;)

Regarding the ToS, we didn't think them this way but I completely understand that it can be a concern. Will update them within the upcoming days.

Best,
That makes sense.

The most egregious interview hassle I had was with a large insurance company based in Connecticut. They had me do 1 HR phone call and then a difficult 1-hour technical phone interview. After that interview they gave me a lot of positive feedback and said they wanted to proceed, but then pressured me heavily that in order to proceed past that point, they needed a lot of specifics about my desired salary. Foolishly, I agreed to share, thinking that I didn't want to miss the chance for additional interviews.

I did not hear a word of reply from them for months, at least 4 months. Then, out of nowhere, I received what was clearly an automated email sent to many people, which said basically the following:

"Thank you for participating in our exploratory market survey for the role of 'Data Scientist' -- regretfully, we have decided to move the company in a different direction and so the position will not be filled."

That dramatically changed my perspective about how to approach job interviews, how to relentlessly avoid ever sharing salary data, etc.

> Well that's a start. They don't offer one in my state/country yet but I'll definitely take it when they do.

It's not that simple. The quickest path to licensure is to graduate from an ABET-accredited engineering program (4 years), pass the fundamentals of engineering exam (which, likely being the "other disciplines" exam, requires general knowledge of engineering and science), perform engineering work supervised by a licensed engineer (I think you typically need 3 references), document your engineering work time (4 years are needed with a BS), and then pass the principles and practice in engineering exam. There are alternative paths that differ on the state level, but they take years longer, e.g., lacking the accredited BS would require something like 8 years of experience before one could sit for the FE exam. I think there's also a plan to require an MS at minimum to sit for the PE exam.

Point being, licensure is far more involved than passing one exam.
I also am dyslexic. I agree with you mostly. This demonstration is not what it "looks like" to have dyslexia, but I think it might not be a bad approximation for a normal for what it feels like to have it. Explained this way, I think it has value.
Probably transaction fees? There's no reason a blockchain must be self-funded through proof-of-work mining.

To my understanding, the expected future state of Bitcoin is that the role currently filled by miners will be replaced by transaction processors who take a fee to do the work.
Yea. I was wondering how can they afford to pay for the benefits for W-2.

How can they compete to someone doing exactly the same thing but as a 1099 contractor instead of W2 to cut cost.
Some of those are honestly pie in the sky, I'll admit. But still seeing a statement that's where resources would be being spent would be ideal for some of those.

With regards to Tor/I2P, It would go a long way to be able to understand that a .onion or .i2p link was clicked and to use an alternate resolver. That would also call for a mode in the browser that sanitizes all user fields and makes the browsers look all exactly the same (to maintain anonymity).

For IPFS, I'd like to see a client-side javascript that handles the peer processing of a node, as well as being able to understand a /ip[n/f]s/hash is an ipfs link. So far, we have resolution via localhost:8080 or ipfs.io/ipfs/hash resolution depending if you're running the peer program or not.

I know that IPFS is actively working on a websockets/client side js for their system, so that any browser can play along, with no noisome downloads or binaries.

And honestly, I didn't know about Servo. I've already enough on my plate, that I didn't need to know about yet another awesome project :)

Some psychology researchers can really mess with your brain by aiming a camera at your eye and changing the letters of a text during a saccade. When your eyes are moving to a new fixation point, you become temporarily blind to changes in what you are looking at for a fraction of a second.

Obviously, that can't be done in a webpage demonstration without some fool giving control of their camera to your javascript. Then you would have to calibrate the gaze detection. And your program would have to run fast enough to update during a saccade.
I find it weird that you don't think that contradicting yourself invalidates anything.
right, that's the main drawback... :(

One of my required features is seeing the method signature when my cursor is on the method name; I don't want to have to enter a command to see the signature. In sublime, the bottom bar will passively show me `func Unmarshal(data []byte, v interface{}) error` when I cursor over json.Unmarshal. I'd really like it if it also showed me the type of the variable I was cursored over, but I digress. Is this possible in your extension?
Implementing lookbehind by reading backwards is not more computationally expensive than reading forward. It adds some complexity to the regexp engine, yes, but that's manageable.

There are some quirks vs. stepping back and reading forward, like the article already explains.

I guess Perl initially just did not implement it this way, whatever the reason was.
Personally, I won one of these in a hackathon, never thought I would use it at all. But I set it up anyways and I found it actually very handy. Give me a news report while im cooking breakfast, timers for things, playing music. I never have used the OK Google / Siri on my phone because if I get my phone out and unlock it I might as well just open the timer app or google the question at that point, but with the echo while im doing something I can just talk and gain information about different things.

Yes you can check the weather a million ways, but those usually require some kind of dedicated screen time, watching tv, loading up a website, checking an app on your phone. Whereas with the echo you just ask it while you are doing something else and it gives you the report.

Software engineer here (chuckle). I spent a lot of time in Iraq, some of that time guarding infrastructure. The thing about most of that stuff -- and my guess in this case -- is that the machinery is rusted. The door may be physically jammed by silt or something, as well, but I would put my money on the machinery to open the doors being rusted or otherwise destroyed/removed by looters. This is the case with the vast majority of stuff like that in Iraq: If you weren't standing next to it with a machine gun, someone would carry off the parts to sell for scrap. Or at least nobody would come by to oil the parts and make sure they function properly. The thing with rusting machinery also is something of a cultural/religious phenomena, i.e. "it is the will of Allah" that this equipment is rusting, and therefore I should not perform maintenance on it. The Iraqi Army was hard to train for a number of reasons, but particularly in equipment maintenance for this reason. "Clean your weapon" ... "But it is the will of Allah that it is rusting" ...
Initial thoughts after playing one popular score[0] in FF dev 46.0a2 (3/2). I can only see four measures per screen, which is fine. However, by the time it scrolls to the next page it's already played 2.5-3 measures so really all I see is a constantly scrolling mass of notes, none of witch are the ones being played at the moment.

Playing another popular score[1] I get constant notifications of other people entering the score, which seems to slow down the animation a bit behind the audio. The slow scroll of the staves when the song moves to the next line also makes the animation a bit sluggish until it gets to the top and is smooth again (but starts scrolling about 1.5 measures later anyway).

It seems like a neat project but the playback usability leaves some to be desired.

>>> keeping them secret only helps employers and hurts the negotiating power of employees

And saves from a lot of unnecessary drama. This is one of the things that seems great when assuming that everyone's acting rationally but that's not how the world works.

It's not rational but a lot of people are very sensitive to what they make in relation to others. For example, Joe thinks he's as good as Josh but Josh makes 25% more (be it that one's better at negotiating, false perception, not being aware of something and tons of other reasons). This scenario is extremely typical. As the result, it would provide enough distraction and hurt egos and all so that can have serious long term damage.

It can work if it's done from day 1 (e.g. at Buffer) but it might have disastrous consequences otherwise.

I'm not saying that sharing salary with a few colleagues is bad, it's pretty natural to share with some trusted ones and totally fine. But not doing it company wide once the company is in business for a few years.
I'm curious why it irks you.

There is actually software engineers. At the U of A, where I went, Software Engineering is separate than Computing Science. Software Engineering was run by the Engineering department, and they had the same rigours as the rest of engineering has. However, Computing Science was run by the Science department.
What if you could define the equivalent of Bash aliases via voice control? This would allow users to tailor their experience from the default (possibly complex/unintuitive) commands to their own personalized ones.

Example format: "Computer, define X as Y"

"Computer, define subdued lighting as set lighting to candle power twelve"

Then the VUI just adds a new entry to the voice commands where saying X results in Y.
Just for the soundtrack alone :D

Most studies about the gender gap in pay find that most of the 77% figure is attibutable to differences in career choices/training/&c., but there remains a rough 5% difference in pay that is not attributable to those things. Ask most men if they would take a roughly 5% pay cut, and they would not say that it insignificant or something that can be ignored.

Maybe the tech industry is just immune to this, but this article is basically a press release with no information about data or methodology.
The article mentions this as a solution, yes.
