So you are literally selling them futures on your next preferred series, except if the valuation comes in below the cap, then they get extra stock, so there's no downside for them except total equity wipe-out.

How about:

* Partially encoding the video on the client, until the user decides to close the browser?

* Encoding the video on clients run by other youtube visitors in the background?

* The encoder could also be implemented in ASM.js, I suppose, so that would eliminate the problem of codec/bitrate/resolution.

I kept getting logged out a couple of times a day, HipChat support recommended reverting to 3.X and "ignoring the upgrade popups". That didn't really help. It times out over night so the first thing you have to do in the morning is remember to "refresh" your HipChat connection. It doesn't flag conversations as having new content while you are away so catching up means visiting every room. It flushed my configuration a few times, so I had to reopen all the rooms I'm in and reconfigure all my settings.

Basically it became I tool I maintained instead of a tool that made my life easier.
Someone who knows more than me (OldSchoolJohnny?) could answer this better, but I think the pasteurization temperature for honey is too low. The references I've seen indicate a temperature of 145-150° F for honey, and more like 230-240° F for carboxylation.

> Like, is there a conspiracy against the tech industry? I really doubt it.

Who said there's a conspiracy? There's no more a conspiracy against the tech industry than, say, people who vote Democratic are a conspiracy against the Republican Party. It's just a large number of people with similar opinions and self-interest. Unfortunately, in this case the emergent result of that large number of people acting in their own opinion and interest is a lot of unjust attacks on innocent people, dismantling of valuable concepts such as meritocracy, and a distorted view of the industry in the popular imagination.
Why not both?

Our hires from bootcamps would have learned coding on their own, but the bootcamp just accelerated their learning. Their experience was that those who were already digging in and involved before the bootcamp were the ones who got the best offers at the end.

This lasted well into the 90's as well. I remember in middle school going to an after-school youth center with my friends and attempting to play D&D there. They actually had some person come in and sit down with us trying to convince us of how evil the game was. I think they contacted our parents, too. The only thing they accomplished was motivating us to stop going to a nice enough after-school place. We were in 8th grade, I think, and we were sitting there looking at the guy like, are you out of your mind? To us it was just a dumb game.

Honestly, it was a great way to keep kids off the streets. You were motivated to sit around for hours, doing something harmless while being very social. For many introverted kids, it was a godsend.
We can ask questions about why it happened and whether it was positive, but the ship has already sailed.

My daughter has been writing a paper on Gamergate. The stuff she's had to read for it makes my skin crawl. And getting decent media sourcing has turned out to be surprisingly challenging. The explosion of creepiness and misogyny on Twitter and elsewhere is the sort of thing that mainstream media misses, because it's just too unbelievable.
Agile as a developer excuse "to have no process and no oversight"?

That was a satori moment for me, now I get the point that agile (and probably most other processes) can be forged into just about anything with a bit of bad will: I've seen the opposite, that is SCRUM used for micromanagement by a boss with control problems.
I'm having trouble making any sort of contradistinction between the two.

I was reading Aziz Ansari's Modern Romance. In each of his shows for a tour, he polled the audience with two questions.

How should you let a person who is interested in you know you aren't interested in them: Pretend to be busy, say nothing, or be honest?

Overwhelmingly, most people practice the "pretend to be busy" and "say nothing" methods. Only a small sliver of the audience would say they were honest.

He then asked the audience to pretend the situation is reversed. Someone else is dealing with you. How do you prefer they handle the situation?

Overwhelmingly, the audience responded (with applauds) that they'd prefer the honest approach.
Ah - one of these words communicates the meaning behind it. The other distracts the reader from the original discussion.

The % of total population that works has continued to drop.

However, promoting BS jobs makes society worse. EX: 80+% of all time and effort spent on medical billing is simply economic dead weight.

Medical billing reduces doctor effectiveness requiring more doctors, more people training doctors, and doctors to work longer hours doing crap work (filling out forms).

Remove bullshit jobs and only a small fraction of the population actually works. Long term we can make an endless hell where paperwork is what 98% of humanity does, or we can just chose another system.

PS: In the US over 50% of all money spent on healthcare goes to Overhead that has nothing to do with patents. In many cases it’s cheaper for people with insurance to go to private doctors who don’t accept insurance. [Think about that for a bit.]

This. I still generally find that the really excellent deep content on the Internet is written by people doing it out of passion, not out of trying to make a living from it. Are there exceptions? Of course! Stuff like Rock Paper Shotgun exists and I really enjoy reading that, or TopGear magazine on iOS gets my digital subscription e-dollars, but most of the articles that I really spend time on are small personal hobby blogs or forums.

Content that exists to make profit for the authors is rarely worth the cost of ads IMO. Let them die.

I'm excited for this simply because it means you can have a fully client side in browser youtube downloader. With things like youtube-dl, you need ffmpeg to combine the higher bitrate streams if you're downloading anything 1080p and above. Most downloaders offload to a server to handle this, but it always bugged me when I had to do that.
I'm a grad... and I would say part of the phenomena -- and this might sound corny but I will explain -- is how bootcamps are a personal journey.

By that I mean the entry point for most participants are all different, the expectations for most participants are all different, the experience for most participants are all different (some students work harder than others), and the outcomes are all different.

I felt there was more to learn than there was time (I did a 12 week course), so how I felt after graduating was largely a reflection of my own confidence and ability in contrast to the effort I put in and not a direct reflection of the quality of the instruction.

The Dreyfus model of skill acquisition [0] is a useful reference here. Any program that claims you will gain mastery over a discipline in a dozen weeks is lying to you. The guys that ran my bootcamp were plain about that. They said they would help me help myself learn... which they did but not to the level I really wanted to get to. And that more than anything is why I am ambivalent about recommending them.

The D&D controversy intersected a much wider (now discredited) moral panic about Satanism. Wikipedia has a good summary: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_ritual_abuse

"Journalists" like Geraldo Rivera exploited this panic quite thoroughly in the 1980s: http://io9.gizmodo.com/5829171/when-geraldo-rivera-took-on-s...
One night in the early 90s, I was hanging out with some friends, playing D&D at an all night diner. At some point in the evening, a fellow patron of the establishment, on her way to pay her check, stopped by our table to warn us of the mortal danger to our souls, and handed us a stack of Jack Chick tracts.

Needless to say, lulz were had.

Since your statement is overly broad, I'll address the probable root as online harassment. First, men are more likely to receive any form of harassment online, while women are more likely to receive harassment in the form of sexual threats or stalking:

http://www.pewinternet.org/2014/10/22/online-harassment/pi_2...

This is widely believed to be because each form of harassment is specifically targeted to have the maximum effect on the victim. Women are more generally upset by sexual harassment, men are generally more upset by emasculation.

Second, the reason the media narrative seems skewed in the opposite direction is because women are generally more likely to be upset by harassment:

http://www.pewinternet.org/2014/10/22/online-harassment/pi_2...

But neither of those studies are particularly important, because "gaming" is a market so huge that it basically encompasses the entire population, or at least a significant enough portion that any truthful statements that could be made about "gamers" would likely hold equally true of the superset.

Overly broad statements such as yours actually hinder the cause of preventing the above issues, as it denies the existence of healthy and positive women gamers. By getting an accurate picture of harassment in general and how to address it we can more effectively treat it, but painting the whole issue as "because men hate women" is an uninformed appeal to emotion and overly defeatist. It implies that the problem is either unsolvable or only solved by removing men entirely.
Small absolute differences but that's still a ~22% decrease in union membership at the same age.. It could definitely affect wages, and certainly does for those in formerly union jobs.
Right. Take carpentry as an analogy: If you decide to learn how to build anything big, you need to set up an area where you can safely make a little bit of a mess and you may also need to acquire arrange some tools.

If you're not ready for that, then practice with some "birdhouse"-like projects.
It's funny you should say that.

When I was young, I played dungeons and dragons (the board game). I remember how this campaign ostracised people who wanted to play. In particular, girls were very vicious with the insults about being a freak (to all of us that played).

I would compare the stigma to those that liked computers.

I can't think of a single girl who liked either d&d or computers in the 70s or 80s (my wife tells me she started in computing in the 80s though and I don't doubt her). Strangely, supposedly, revisionist reality is the opposite - girls were driven away by mean men (it's revisionist history, but misogyny is the buzzword of the new century and truth be damned).

I'm glad misogyny was mentioned because my life experience was the exact opposite. However, I enjoyed these pursuits and no amount of bullying stopped me. The attitudes have changed so much today and not for the better.
Of course, it's especially interesting to note the gaming media response in both cases. When it's religious conservatives attacking gaming, then they're idiots who should be mocked, yet when it's 'liberals' attacking gaming, they act like there's an actual point. You can see the old boys club a mile off...

As for why gaming is so often attacked? I supected it's an audience thing. Hardcore gamers are often conflated with nerds (same with die hard tabletop gamers and roleplayers), and are seen as an 'easy' target for populists and media mouthpieces. People love a scapegoat...

Woodworking and welding are the 2 hobbies I have found that cultivate a programmers mindset.

Both crafts are heavily focused on making jigs and precision. Then as you become better you find ways to improve your speed.

Wood working is a huge craft much like programming. Go watch some videos on https://www.reddit.com/r/woodworkingvideos but be weary its easy to get lost for hours.

If you have money and space think about a table saw and build some jigs for it(its like getting your IDE setup).

If space and moeny are a problem look in to joinery to get started. Hand cutting "dove tails" is extraordinarily gratifying and can be done with minimal investment while you are learning but as you will see the price quickly gose up if you want the best tools.

If you have more specific questions about wood working or welding let me know (PM's are best) I could talk for days.

Do you really want to be on the hook for legal fees? You start company x. Company y, a larger wealthier foe, pummels you in court over questionable claims, say another broad and abstract patent. You lose, get a judgement and have to pay legal fees.

recent talk on VP10 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzKP7JJjXtY)

encoding videos is much more cpu intensive. offloading to client machines is not an option. its always better to get the source material and spend more cpu time on the server (with the option to do better later). There might be still some corner cases where you would want to encode raw or mostly uncompressed source material before upload.
I think those are the source of the questions? But ya, you might be right.

I think you are right on - staying in the same stack was, at the time this blog post was written (Feb 2015) a more pressing need, which pushed us to try and bend the ActiveRecord pattern to be used for payments.

As our team grew and we no longer had the strong requirement of staying in the same stack, we did indeed started to break out the payments code into a micro-service, written in java (java8, dropwizard, jooq, mysql).

The other announcement[1] from EPFL last week was the establishment of Scala Center,

The Center's mission: "Organize open source projects around Scala".

About scala-native, no details are given on whether it targets scalac or Dotty
(which another talk [2] describes as a couple years away from production-ready).
The situation could change if, say, Akka or Play announced a Roadmap for Dotty.

That's shady. Normally, there's a bias such that people who are disgruntled are more likely to post a review than people who had a good experience. If you take that bias into account, a 4 star rating is pretty good, 5 stars is excellent, and so on.

But if you flip that bias on its head, 5 stars becomes a mediocre rating. That's ok if you've disclosed what you've done, but out of 165 reviews only one mentions that people are incentivzed to write reviews with free swag.

One way to deal with the shell problem us to require a bond to be posted, that's forfeit if the lawsuit is found without merit. An insurance company then can pick the risk and set the premium according to their assessment whether the lawsuit has been filed in bad faith.

I wouldn't say it's entirely false. A sandbox allows you to provide different levels of trust and responsibility to different parties, which allow you to align those responsibilities with the incentives of the parties involved.

If Valve is providing a sandbox, then it's in Valve's best interest to make sure it works fairly well, as if it doesn't then that reflects poorly on them.

Game developers will want to fit within the sandbox, and not break the rules, because the benefits of Valve's Steam are obvious, and losing access to it (or getting a worse deal on sales percentages) is a big deal.

Is it possible to break out of sandboxes? Sure. Do I think that having a sandbox in place prevents some of the more rampant abuse and some bad actors? Also yes. So I think sandboxes make us more secure (if you trust the sandbox provider), but that doesn't mean we are secure (which is for the most part unobtainable, so we should be focusing on degrees of security anyways).

My point wasn't to take a position on this but rather to point out that this is a deep-rooted cultural belief tied with religious values, which is the hardest kind of thing for a society to get over. It definitely has pull beyond the religious crowd, but that's how these kinds of things propogate, from sermons to unstated cultural assumptions.

Personally, I would value smart and effective work over hard work any day. If we get to the point where the most effective work is also fun and enjoyable rather than a burden, we'll be better off for it.
