>- desire to grow -- does this person have clear career growth goals. Ideally these are not tied to titles or bossing others around, which are negatives.

Can you give an example of what you WOULD like to see here? There's some selection bias among the kinds of developers who tend to hang out on online technical communities and learn new things, but what IS the right long term goal, and how is this different from "desire to ship"? Sure, I'd like to work on meaningful projects and have enough breadth and depth of knowledge to design and contribute in a meaningful way in them, but if we're being totally honest my career goals are absolutely "make enough money to pay the mortgage, go on the occasional vacation, and save for retirement". I'm not in this to be a rock star who works 100 hours a week for the chance to be a multimillionaire, and I'm not in this to achieve fame in the developer community. I'm in it to get a paycheck doing work that is intellectually stimulating while still having enough free time to do things OTHER than work, but it's long been obvious that you're not allowed to say that in a job interview, so what ARE you looking for people to say?

To put it another way, in the title terms you don't want to discuss, I have no desire to be a principle architect or C*O. I'm perfectly content being a good-to-great senior-level engineer who's a solid team contributor if not in control of everything. I'm on board with your other qualifications - continual learning, adapting, and gaining exposure to new technologies is great - but is there a limit to career growth? Based simply on number of positions in existence, it's impossible for everyone in the field to keep growing and advancing indefinitely.

> I don't think anyone said he was "evil" or "dickish"

Dude, the article literally calls him both of those things and links to another article that is entirely about what a dick the author thinks he is.[0]

ds' article has been referenced many times and I have had multiple discussions on #python myself and trust me, no one agree on a single approach.

> Also, unfortunately pip's parser for requirements.txt isn't public

I am not sure what you mean by "isn't public." The API is "private" or the parser is proprietary? or the API is not isolated to its own (like Ansible's command line parser is stuck inside a giant function). If the second I would be super surprise.

But I am with the repo author. I think we just need one format, one way to do things. The implementation however, needs to be discussed as the example code is pretty redundant in the effort, would be much nicer if we can just provide the path in setup.py and pip reads off setup.py and consume requirements.txt. For god sake this is dependency declaration, ain't package management.
This feels like a step backwards for me, too, and I love overlapping windows and never split my screen. The benefit of having multiple windows is that you can have different working contexts that don't overlap, which makes it easier to find the exact window you're looking for. But look at the screenshots in the article: you still get one web browser window, one calculator, one instance of every app. You can't split (say) the browser into Tabs for Project A and Tabs for Project B, or keep a calculation open for Project B then open a new one without destroying the old one. (Contrived examples, perhaps, but those are the only apps demonstrated in their screenshots so far. Imagine it with text editors.)

I can't blame you for not being up to date with developments on .NET platform or in the Microsoft world - but please o please refrain from making comments about the issue you are not informed about and obviously haven't looked in to for the last couple of years.

Microsoft has their own cross platform open source .NET implementation under MIT license supported officially on Linux and OSX. https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr

Not only that but they are opensourcing and porting huge parts of their stack like build system, web framework, etc. and are supporting it officially on Azure cloud. https://github.com/aspnet/Mvc

They are doing pure OSS from scratch projects such as LLILC - a static compiler for CoreCLR based on LLVM : https://github.com/dotnet/llilc

Further more even before that Microsoft has started opensourcing large parts of their implementation at the request from Mono team and Mono has taken those + CoreCLR and made their implementation better - showing that they actually wanted to help Mono team implement feature parity.

And finally Microsoft recently acquired the Mono team (Xamarin) and will probably fold that in to their OSS offerings.

So please stop the FUD - it's not helping anything - I realize you have an opinion but before voicing it please check if it matches the facts - otherwise you're just creating noise in the discussion.

This model is a problem where a company (usually beyond the startup phase) has multiple profit centers. Success in one division can be dragged down by substandard performance elsewhere, if (poor/unethical/ignorant) management chooses to measure it so.

I just left a job where my division (which consisted of just 3 people) produced nearly a million in profits for 2015. We were told by management that there would be no raises or bonuses for us, simply because overall company sales were flat.

The three of us left. You cannot retain talent if you make your top producers beholden to operations they cannot possibly affect.
I believe the problem with those was always the sonic boom created by flying at > 1 Mach. It shattered windows on the ground.

Could be wrong tho
And I'm sure the TSA agents will love a bunch of people saying "boom" at the airport, although maybe if it desensitizes them to it it's a good thing.
There's a steep difference in the acceptable safety of a space vehicle and of a commercial airliner.
Interesting, stuff changed, and I stand corrected.
Probably. This whole "it's an optional event" thing is a trope. It's offered as an argument over and over again. But if you run a professional networking event, whether you call it "optional" or not has very little to do with whether people will feel compelled to attend. Asking someone's peer group to attend an optional event that pointlessly alienates them is just as bad as mandating attendance. In fact, in some ways, it's worse: at least if it's mandated, you don't endure an internal debate about whether to put up with it and attend for the career benefit.
Well, I've recently ported a massive setup of SA rules and I've tried to add all functions that are supported by SA to rspamd. The only ones unsupported are pyzor/razor/dcc (all that is covered by fuzzy check: https://rspamd.com/doc/modules/fuzzy_check.html).

Both systems support statistics (rspamd uses 5-gramms hidden Markov model and SA uses naive bayes), they both support different backends for statistics (redis and sqlite for rspamd), per-user statistics, autolearning. Among network checks, they support URIBLs, RBLs, DMARC, DKIM, SPF. Obviously, both systems support regexp rules. However, I'm not an expert in SA features and might thus miss something...

Boeing tried that and it was banned.
If I could add something here, it's that the same applies not only within a particular country (say, the US), but also between countries.

If you're a highly skilled programmer in Eastern Europe or S. America (I mention those two for my example because I see a lot of very talented programmers coming out of those two regions), and you're working for $30/hr for a successful American company, I urge you to re-think your approach. Yes, maybe for your life situation and in your country, $30/hr is not a bad deal. But if you're a highly experienced developer, with relatively rare skills, you're still being significantly underpaid vis-a-vis your skills.

I worked on a project where I was the only American (and also probably the worst programmer on the team, btw) and was paid $100/hour when my colleagues were paid $20-30/hour. The company owner (an American company that could have afforded much more) literally laughed at how good of a deal he was getting, and thought the genius programmers from country X in E. Europe were pretty naive for not jacking up their rates. I feel pretty bad for not telling my co-workers back then (it was 5+ years ago), so I'm telling you now: value your labor properly, no matter where you are.

Charging a fair rate not only helps you, but it also helps your colleagues in more expensive countries, who cannot afford to work for $20/hr and pay rent.
Thanks for the feedback. I'd love to know what were the specific usability problems you ran into. Documentation is great but if we can eliminate the confusing parts entirely that's even better. Rocket.Chat in particular does have some rough edges that we're aware of and working with them to fix.

I remember seeing my first Indigo machine and being utterly amazed at both the design of the computer, the big ass monitor, the graphical interface (my friend and I just stood there opening and closing the program groups since they had this very cool 3D effect... and of course we were younger so this was super rare for us).

Amazing machines. I would love to get my hands on one of them.
That's good news for ozone layer. Luckily this seems to be only a few guys, a wish, and a rendering.
I'm curious who the target market for this is. Any tech worth his salt wouldn't go near GoDaddy for even a domain registration. Who the heck would trust them to run cloud servers?

I'm not saying they don't have customers. The advertise to non-techies and tons of non-techies use them as a registrar and mail host. I just don't see that same set of people running cloud servers. It's too low level.
My first thought as well.

The drop in the price of oil has discouraged airlines from investing in more efficient engines for their fleet, I assume there are similar economics at play here.
Cashless societies are advanced as a solution to problems of moral decay. E.g., doing business under the table, not reporting taxes due to governments, or performing an illicit transaction. In many ways, advocacy of a cashless society is admittance that people are dishonest, and therefore all transactions should be made electronic. Instead of strengthening individual morality, workaround solutions are proposed -- like those trying to fix a morally bankrupt society via algorithmic systems that require no morality whatsoever.

So whether it be a government sponsored currency, perhaps a world currency, to stop bad behavior and bad actors; or a public blockchain (Anarcho-capitalism). We as a society are now faced with a moral decision centered around privacy and how much of it should be entrusted to governments. Notice how the thesis of cryptocurrencies is trust-less systems, because people / governments are assumed to be nefarious by default. That is a big nuance being ignored. Ultimately (IMO) this is an issue of morality. One which benefits from reading history, analogy, literary examples or anything for that matter. We are seeing a tug of war between citizenry and governments in the financial and cryptographic realms. This is relevant.

The financial system and notions of a cashless society foster a growing anti-government sentiment. It is obvious in this and other threads; a strong pushback against government, which all relate back to the Books mentioned. It is difficult to ignore the religious or moral contexts of this topic.

Especially peculiar when Bitcoin has already established a cult following, complete with a pseudo-church which evangelizes. Not to mention it was created by a supposedly anti-government (Satoshi) person "yet to be revealed". Is playful conjecture not fair discussion? You can clearly see companies are racing to research cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence, and what same may argue as anti-government measures.

So, I think a real world subject -- is subject -- to everything of the real world. Like the written Words of The Bible and anything else that exists for good interpretation. When 2+ Billion people identify as Christian, and they (potentially) push back against cashless societies, it will become exceptionally relevant.
Super smart - make good margins on a use case for the wealthy to subsidize R&D and development of scale economics, hopefully eventually get that price down so we can all use it. Hope it works!

If US Tesla #200,000 is sold in Q3 2017, then yes, the last date for the full tax credit would be 2017-12-31.

They've probably sold around 60-70,000 in the US so far. I think the current rate is around 50,000/year (they project 100,000 in 2016, and the US is roughly 50%). Even if 2017 is a substantial increase, it seems unlikely that they'll hit the 200,000 mark before 2018.
I would guess this mostly designed for ocean crossing flights. Their example is NYC to London, as soon as you take off from NYC you're over the ocean. By the time you accelerate to mach 1.12 and are at the appropriate altitude, you'd be far enough away from the city for the boom to not matter.
The aim of Google is AI (like in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity). Android, like gmail are useful to feed data. Advertising is useful to have money for research in AI and to prove that AI is effective to make targeted advertising. A linux desktop would be great for users but would be against google interests because of the better privacy protection.

I think the main reason why Dart was poorly received, was that it is as complicated as a statically typed language, and as unsafe as a dynamically typed one. The unsoundness is not just superficial; every assignment is a potential run time type error waiting to happen. In practice, there's really no type safety at all, and it isn't used in the optimizer, so why bother?
I'm reminded of the first half of "Web Design: The First Hundred Years"[0]. Commercial planes have not gotten faster and have in fact gotten slower.

I was living in a rural area where the poor used the underground economy ( flea markets etc. ) to supplement or offset low subsistence , meager wages and I know the poor in urban areas do as well. A cashless society will be a regressive tax on the poor !

> The best part of using the FreeBSD kernel is that you'll end up using the famous Z File System, [...] with a separate UFS partition for /boot. As expected, ZFS support is completely integrated into the ubuntuBSD operating system.

It's not really "complete" to not put the boot volume onto ZFS, too. Having a separate /boot volume formatted as UFS was state of the art for FreeBSD some while ago. But things have changed since.

PC-BSD nowadays puts all volumes onto ZFS, the root dataset (which includes /boot) included. The bootstrap loader has been augmented to support loading the kernel from a ZFS volume. The PC-BSD installer only creates ZFS volumes, moreover.

* http://web.pcbsd.org/doc-archive/10.2/html/install.html#zfs-...

* https://blog.pcbsd.org/2013/06/pc-bsd-status-update/

Having /boot in the same single dataset as / makes "boot environments" easier, as switching amongst boot environments is just a matter of changing the root dataset.

Ironically, there's less of a hurdle for "UbuntuBSD" copying this than one might think. PC-BSD 10.2 uses GRUB's loader mechanisms for Debian/kFreeBSD.

I think most people in middle management, especially HR, are looking for "plausible deniability". They want their actions to appear defensive enough to keep their job. So don't hire self-taught, always demand a degree. Follow "industry standard" hiring practices. etc.

They don't understand tech and they don't need to. If something goes wrong they need to be able to demonstrate it's not their fault.
There are many reasons why Boeing and Airbus have not entered the supersonic market, the most important being that there is simply very limited appetite for supersonic travel other than for novelty purposes. It's much more economical to build big, subsonic airliners but increase the comfort and level of service.

The game moves too fast for that. When I contemplated it, I was going to let the AI do the micro battles and build orders. The other aspects are planning one's strategy, identifying opponent's strategy, counters, bluffs, and so on. Humans are best at this. The machines have been laughably easy to beat at it so far.

DeepMind's system is all about finding patterns. It might do better on those aspects. It could even be trained to recognize some aspects of enemy intent, how the battles are going, etc. Thing is, there's lots of potentials for curveballs in Starcraft compared to Go or Atari games. Human pro's curveball on demand. Should be interesting to see what it can do.

Yeah that's fine but we've really moved the goalposts here. OP mentioned that OP had never received student loans or disability payments. Somehow that inspired a rude comment based on some very developed-world assumptions concerning public infrastructure. Yes, in most situations we see, it's good for public infrastructure to be built using public money. That doesn't mean that someone who e.g. purchases a kerosene lamp to light her home at night should feel thankful toward the government officials who haven't yet nationalized and dismantled the container port that offloaded it, who haven't yet closed the dirt road over which it was hauled by truck, whose military hasn't yet run the local store that sold it out of business for insufficient bribery. Hell, all the infrastructure we're discussing might well have been built during a previous government that was violently overthrown by the current one! Who should she thank in that case?

When I was last in a "developing" nation, back in January, my hosts observed that the only existing paved road outside a large city, over which bus, truck, and agricultural traffic was solid day and night, was built and maintained by the federal government rather than the provincial one, because otherwise the money just disappeared. When we reflexively castigate those with questions about the use of public money (or frankly, in this thread, who are misunderstood to have posed such questions), we're protecting those who are glad for no questions to be asked. That's true in both "developing" and "developed" nations.
I like the idea of sleep as a consequence of information processing. At some point an organism needs to get rid of useless information acquired by its sensors previously. That's also why Maxwell's demon can't brake the second law of thermodynamics. Looking at people's behavior suffering sleep deprivation 'information overload' comes easily to mind. Perhaps the ability of REM sleep is a sign of some form of consciousness, which in turn is just an efficient way to process information and detect the useful bits.
