I think that the point is that it would be a good practice to disclose that. In no way does it invalidate what you have to say (and by the way, I really liked having the nicely-written presentation of these features; this is something I'm bookmarking to show to people), but disclosing the potential conflict of interest makes it clear that you have nothing to hide.
Twice now I've asked for correction, taking you at your word that you have an economics degree and that it is a good proxy for your superior knowledge to mine, clarifying myself in the process despite other commenters demonstrating they understood my original intention, and twice now you've refused to do that, and attack me instead of shedding any light.

>I think you lost the plot by assuming the original article was implying that because of college degrees productivity must be higher. That's not what it said..."

I cited an unbroken snippet from the article which clearly evinces a causal relationship. The context is, "should be the highest-paid ... They are, after all the most likely to hold a college degree". That's just reading comprehension, not economics. If you don't want to address that, fine, but your deliberate misreading of the author and my example is not likely fooling anybody here.
Meh. For me this is such a non-issue. While very privacy-conscious in general, since my very bad experience with an encrypted backup drive, a lost password/passphrase, and losing 2 years of data/photos as a result, I've cooled on full-device encryption.

Sure, it's preventable, and it was my own stupid fault, but I bet it happens to a lot of people and it caused them, and Amazon, more heartache than the added level of 'security' encryption would provide. "What do you mean, you can't retrieve my data? You made this thing! Can't you reset the password?"
A personal theory. The iPhone Wiki has a description of iPhone storage structure - it seems newer phones (pre Secure Enclave) don't have separate NOR, NVRAM and NAND - they just use NAND for everything.

You accept more risks on the hiring process, by hedging them with the firing process.

If it'll be good or bad depends on the actual risk balance you create between those two processes. But if the idea that the hyper strict hiring process does not help selecting great candidates, a moderate increase on nominal risk on the hiring process will actually improve your odds there, and you'll gain both ways.
What is your solution?

Personally I don't feel it is difficult to make yourself valuable enough to get "a" job. Maybe not "the" job, but "a" job. Which gives you enough resources to get "the next" job. Which you repeat until you get "the" job. It's the ladder and we climb it.

It really boils down to it is the law of the jungle out there and you want something so it is up to you to figure out how to get it.

And this is coming from someone that was homeless in the winters of Minnesota. I've been there.
I've been reading up on an embryologist that has been digging into the question of what defines sex in humans. She's concluding sex can be as varied as eye color and the like. So, sex isn't much a static category but rather a clustering of characteristics. It's something that may seem counter intuitive, but Nature doesn't have to obey our intentions.
In my experience, it took about 5 minutes to boot the thing with cyanogen and FDE then the performance was more or less negligible on a nexus5.
I want you to identify all the functions/methods and variables that are up on the presentation.

Task made simple with syntax highlighting. Task made distracting without as you'll need to read the code more carefully rather than skim it. That time taken to actually ready the code is now taking away from your ability to listen to the presenter.

Getting distracted by the color of strings sounds like an issue with boredom or ADD.

The article is a real gem. One part I particularly like:

>This level of strictness always made me uncomfortable. I'm not going to lie, it starts with my own selfishness. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't get hired at big, famous companies with legendarily difficult technical interview processes because, you know, they only hire the best. I don't think I am one of the best. More like cranky, tenacious, and outspoken, to the point that I wake up most days not even wanting to work with myself.

Jeff Atwood has the self-security to say something like this publicly. It's really small-applause worthy in my book, since people will look for anything, especially anything unrelated to leadership, to tear a leader down[1]

As an aside, I think the political cost to admitting faults ties in roughly with the "Great Man Fallacy"[2] We're looking for an Iron Man to believe in, but when Tony Stark can't actually write a program to hack into a government mainframe in two hours, we get disappointed.

It reminds me very strongly of when Zuckerberg tried, for fun, to solve an engineering problem after two years of being the CEO of Facebook. He had a lot of trouble writing basic code; the engineers watching him struggle, who all thought Zuckerberg was this amazing super-genius who could do anything, ended up condescending him.[3]

[1] I do believe that plenty of so-called "leaders" are not actually good leaders. Rather that those people who grow to learn to be leaders, should not be detracted on certain details that are tangential to their business.

As an OSMer, I kind of took it as a compliment: "of course it's OSM... what else would you use?"
We tried one of those when we repainted the original lap siding of our 1920 house a few years ago.

It did not work well. Everything had to be just right for it to work properly. If the paint was not a uniform thickness, if there were any old paint drips hanging over the edge of the siding, or if the siding was not laid straight the same width across the wall, it wouldn't shave off the paint evenly.

We found the best tool for the job was a radiant heat gun made from an old toaster oven and a paint scraper. You'd heat the paint until it started to soften, then scrape it off with a putty knife.

Like the parent said, it was difficult work requiring at a minimum a ventilator and gloves, and try the best we could, it was impossible to contain all the paint chips. But I think a few paint dust chips left behind is probably trivial compared to the amount of lead in the soil around our house from decades of cars and trucks going by our home burning leaded gasoline.
Are there people with no aggression?

I think you may mean (and if this is the case I generally agree) that when hormones trigger behaviors such as road rage, those behaviors have already been learned. Likewise, testosterone is unlikely to cause someone to shoot another driver because significant inhibitions against that behavior have been learned.

But hormones have an effect even in early childhood and before birth, when no behaviors have been learned yet. Prenatal hormones affect brain structure, and studies have found a link between hormones in children as young as 3 months and their choice of toys.[1]

Yeah, there's some that can be done through system actions (which I think that is) and it sounds like custom actions have been implemented by selected partners, I just mean they need to open up custom actions to enable more general app-specific integration.

Economy is not some abstract deity (believers in the "free market" like to imagine it as some kind of self-regulating mechanism that ends up in the best possible way, when it facts it's just a sum of human activity, that doesn't even play by the naive economist assumptions of people following their self-interest half of the time and that can end and does end up in all kinds of shit).

Economy is something people (not just the state, everybody) can decide upon how they want it and build it.

It's just that currently only the big players make those decisions with their law purchasing power -- instead of the people at large with representative laws.

So, "having enough jobs for everybody" could be such a decision people could make, and work towards it.

I'm a long time user of Eclipse but recently have tried IntelliJ again, it's got some really nice features such as the inline values while debugging but by far the biggest annoyance is not being able to have multiple projects within a workspace.

At work I mainly work on two APIs that work closely together so in Eclipse I can have both open and just jump between the projects easily and at home I like to have all my scratch pad projects/ideas in one eclipse workspace so I can jump between them all easily.

I know there are kinda workarounds with modules but it doesn't really work well, if they allowed the ability for multiple projects in a workspace I'd jump ship but sadly it seems it'll never be supported (according to co-worker who is a die hard IDEA fan).

You can use variable sized tabs if your leading whitespace consists of tabbed indentation, followed by alignment spaces. E.g.:

[TAB][TAB]object.function(argument1, argument2,
[TAB][TAB] argument3);

For this to work, all alignment among lines must occur only among lines which are at the same indentation level; alignment must not cross indentation levels.

However, internal alignment must not use tabs. Only indentation may use tabs; all else is spaces.

If you allow tabs for indentation, internal tabs will sneak in, because some people use dumb editors or don't know how to use their good ones. You just need some repository commit hooks to catch that.

However, the whole thing is misguided. If tabs are used at all, tab stops should be set to the de facto standard 8 by everyone. And then these tab stops should be freely used for internal alignment between lines, not only for indentation. Either fully invest in tabs and embrace them, or don't use them at all.

I see it as a chicken vs egg problem. The reason only 1 in 10 schools offer programming classes is probably the same reason CS jobs go unfulfilled.

But Thunderbolt 3 already exists, and both Intel and Nvidia support it. Intel does not have any discrete GPUs of their own, of course, but they did open up Thunderbolt 3 to external GPUs. Nvidia drivers have already been updated to support external GPUs over Thunderbolt 3.

Thunderbolt 3 external GPU enclosures are still rare, but products such as the Razer Core are on the way and should work with any laptop that supports Thunderbolt 3, of which there are a growing number.

There should be nothing stopping AMD from supporting eGPU enclosures via Thunderbolt 3. I'm honestly perplexed why they think we need yet another competing standard.
Almost nothing is universal. You could have a study that says, "Falling out of an airplane from 30,000ft is deadly" and you can still find counterexamples. So I agree, it doesn't need to be explicitly stated at every turn.
Sounds like your team kind of backed into an insight psychological research has identified and Google has attempted to apply. Something called "psychological safety".

"Psychological safety: Can we take risks on this team without feeling insecure or embarrassed?" - from re:work

There's a great NYTimes article about it that looks at your hunch about the weirdness of the team members being the key to awesomeness. But Google ultimately realized that it wasn't so much about how different the backgrounds of the team members were, but was instead that that internal diversity could produce psychological safety.

Nitpicking, but the problem as they described is definitely not fedora. It is definitely a PC problem.

Some people actually need less sleep. I think this has been studied. A couple years ago there were a bunch of articles about Kobe Bryant and how little sleep he needs while practicing polyphasic sleep patterns.
This isn't a bad point. It's also worth noting that as a whole android hasn't been the most secure, and fde only works while the phone is off or storage is unmounted which may be important for some but most average users don't really ever turn the devices off. So if you're running fde and you get a stage fright driveby, it's fornaught.

Making a device more secure when it's off has marginal utility to most customers that aren't on hacker news. And those customers probably don't outweigh the support issues associated with FDE for everyone.
For a lot of people, sleep isn't just something you can turn on at will.

I'd love to get 8 hours a night, and I definitely would make time for it. But I can't.

Enjoy your good sleep health!

What do you mean by "sane?" From a technical standpoint, Windows is competitive and probably superior to Linux for desktop and portable applications. For server side, Windows is probably not the right choice.

And as for OSX... if you express this concern about Microsoft's app platform but not Apple's encroachment on their (poorly managed) app platform? You're being unfair and letting prejudices and populism blind you to the issue.

And all of this ignores that the most important computing platforms, the ones on mobile handsets? They're impossibly locked down and no one seems to care.

> a-job-every-2-years treadmill

This is already caused as much by companies as it is by candidates who are job hoppers. When I see a resume with short stints, it basically has no effect on me any more. If the person is good and I do my job to make them happy to stay, that's the best I can hope for. Pretending like either I can predict who the job hoppers are in advance, or that I should only hire people who magically have some intrinsic desire to work for me no matter how I treat them are both fantasies.

"AND are working in a period of unsurpassed productivity"

Those are two things. Having a college degree is debatable but certainly is associated with higher wages. Higher productivity is definitely correlated with higher wages.

You said the opposite was the case. You're wrong, but either way the burden is on you to explain why on earth you think those two things should cause lower wages.
I don't like the idea that there is no way to freeze the build to avoid the un-encryption and or the possible bricking of a couple kindles for the few that used it however.

It's one thing to say, we don't support this going forward so if it's something you use get a different device next time. It's another to say, we are disabling or bricking, your choice.
Plus (and while I really dislike app stores in general), it solves the biggest security problem : the user. It prevents it tfrom installing a load of crapwares just because he or she clicks everywhere without reading.

Now, it's logical from those vendors to lock in installation on their plateform. It's theirs. They built it. Like you build a car so it's easier for you to sell your replacement pieces and control what's going to be plug to it.

Bottom line, if you don't like it, don't use windows. Or if you use windows because it has value to you, you have to play by MS rule or hack around. Like with cars.

I dislike these rules, I don't use Window as my main system. I use a system that doesn't lock me in.

If you are using Windows (or any other system locking your in), if you have been using it for the last 10 years, you knew this. You are half responsible for your situation.

Don't tell me "I have to use it because 'work|busines|whatever'". You choose to keep this work/business/whatever. It's more important to you than playing by MS rules. Well, you made a choice. You don't like it. But you did. You never fought it, you never did anything to prevent this from hapening. You had time. And solutions. This didn't happen by surprise or on one week. People warned you about this for 20 years, and provided alternatives, and you didn't use it.
I already knew this as it's been so massively self evident in my life. (Not that this is really a constructive comment, but every time I don't get enough sleep I'm ravenous all day.)

One thing that's quite nice about what they're doing, and rather profitable is the OD system.

With a credit card you have a seperate account, so when you get cash it doesn't have to pay off the card.

With mondo it is a debit card with a current account which can overdraft and interest rates near a credit card (19.9% according to their papers)

This means there's less risk for them and a smaller chance of NPLs as money needs to be paid off to the OD before the account is positive.

While a normal bank can take this view in the aggregate term of a customer's account it encourages the user to engage in more risk taking where the customer can't pay it back.

So you get less risk and the same interest rate.

That being said they do save a lot on software building it in house contrary to hiring someone external to do it for them. If Oracle's standard margin are any indication there's a lot lost this way in terms of cost.

Indeed. I think this whole thread is showing that the UI has a lot of surprising/nondiscoverable aspects though. It would be better if all the functionality was accessible via the main menus as a fallback.

> Does the ability to trigger a make when you want it mitigate this somewhat?

Ironically it would probably be better to get myself into the right habit if the continuous building were less reliable - it goes wrong rarely enough that I feel dumb insisting on a make every time, but if I start trusting it I get tripped up.

The key combination for make is relatively fiddly. Maybe I should try binding it to ctrl-S.
Maybe you should find out, instead of talking about how you don't have this problem and therefore don't understand it.
