I don't care about my own contribution graph, but I still find the feature useful when looking at other profiles. It's informative and it even looks nice. I do 95% of my work on Github in private repos at work, and 5% on open source projects, so my contribution graph is pretty abysmal. I don't mind, because it's what I actually do. It represents me in a fair way. It lets others looking at my profile know "hey, this dude does some open source" and I'm fine with that. When looking at other profiles, I'll know if this person is full-time open source or only does some contributions on the side infrequently, or it's an inactive profile. It serves a purpose right now.
Hey, that's a really useful reference, thanks. I actually learned something about OCaml from it!

The only flag raised with me regarding using a minion, is that minions are copyrighted. It makes me wonder if they got clearance from Universal / Illumination before publishing this prank. (If not, I really doubt Universal / Illumination would be too happy with headlines today.)
You wouldn't even have to agree. I could just start myself going around and asking various companies the question, without the companies themselves knowing about my plan. But perhaps then I am myself acting against the law, because I do this with the intent of circumverting gag orders?

I, for one, would not appreciate it if entire swaths of b/w photographs were needlessly colorized for "archiving", especially the Ansel Adams. His photography was too good for the exact medium he chose, and colorizing them detracts from the image.

Colorization is super cool and whatnot, but I don't think it should be applied to art.

The eventual goal is to have the car be able to open your garage door, exit, close your garage door, then drive to your location, stopping to charge itself at supercharger stations along the way.

The NYC to LA tweet implies the car would need fully autonomous driving capabilities to do so.
Can't speak for GP, but I experienced a similar moment of "ok now how do i close this again" before realizing I didn't really need to. But that didn't feel quite right either, like a popup that won't go away once its purpose has been served. Or like checking a footnote, and having a hard time finding my way back to wherever it was referenced. I get that what this library does isn't quite either of those things, but it feels enough like both of them that not being able to un-expound feels a little weird.

I saw the Sortable ad in my Facebook feed. Good for a few laughs. Presidents come and go, but the opportunities in the US have been consistently better than Canada for decades now in tech.

Canadians come to the US for a better standard of living, comparatively more affordable housing (yes, even in the Bay Area!), a diverse and booming job market with interesting opportunities and a less conservative startup culture. None of that seems to be changing anytime soon.
Not only that, they will ban April 1st entirely. Starting 2017 April 2nd will follow directly after March 32nd.
He Drew the Sun for 40 Years, but Now His Telescope Is Dying
I did think it was an April Fools joke at first. (Oh, how we've all been trained).

But I got to thinking about the recent paper that was done analyzing contributions to repos on github [1] and thought that of that actual 10% of active users, there might be some with unhealthy tendencies.

I don't think that the contribution graph should be removed but I can see how it would be a net-negative to someone with those unhealthy tendencies.

I submitted this story exclusively because I believe it happening to be April Fools Day provides the most deft illustration of Poe's Law I have ever seen.

Despite passages like this:

"The juice packs are stamped with QR codes, which the machine scans and uses to determine if the fruits and vegetables are fresh enough for it to press into an eight-ounce cup of juice for you. If it’s not, the pack is discarded. It’s a Wi-Fi connected device, which means if the Internet’s out, you can’t have your cup of beet-and-apple juice that morning."

I still can't figure out if this announcement is a real and serious startup or a prank, even with some additional google searching.
That seems less like a fun prank and more like sociopathy. I'm really surprised nobody got sued.

(I'm not a lawyer, but "We created an optical illusion directing people to crash into a wall, so those victims should have been paying attention and figuring it out" doesn't strike me as a robust defense in court.)
SRED is annoying, bureaucratic, slow, comes with painful audits that can delay payments over a year, breaking your company if you're relying on it, requires all your engineers to keep detailed log books, et cetera.

But I've been in a few different startups in Canada, and they've all successfully received very significant SRED payments. Having the government pay a huge chunk of your engineering payroll has been a key part of the success of some of these companies.
French here, France is the complete opposite of an efficient government. The bureaucracy is massive and everywhere. It's quite outside of the scope of this topic but the short answer is don't create a company there.

Sure, Go may still be surrounded by some hype, but I wouldn't call it a hipster language. I started reading about it and messing around with it about a year ago. It is really fun to use for certain things (usually Network servers for me).

That is not to say it's a perfect language, but I have friends dedicated to python who love using Go and friends who use C and Java that love building personal projects with it. I really had no idea it was gaining adoption in industry and some areas of academia until recently though.
Well, there's plenty of references to this on the internet already.

A few notes about the shift from manufacturing to a service based economy:

- Services take a larger share of GDP by staying flat while prices of goods fall. You pay less for most manufactured goods than you did 20 years ago, while your haircut cost about the same.

- Services are generally harder to export. You can ship a physical product, it's hard to export a haircut.

- Goods can be stockpiled/scaled if needed, services cannot.
I won't discuss the morality involved, but an emailed notice of a child's death with a Minion "mic drop" gif in it is objectively hilarious.

Wow. Thank you for this, this seems very useful for me. I will def check it out.
Our 2-man team set up Druid........ i took 5+ months and was excruciating to configure and get running smoothly (things were slightly more complicated because we decided to use docker). It also took ~30 servers to make a truly fault-tolerant setup.

With that said, it works very well, but it definitely came at the cost of a good dose of sanity.
Profiling is common and not a bad thing. The police profile, the feds profile more. They just have fancy new words for it to avoid the silliness that the word profile has somehow gotten the same meaning as discrimination.

Your example is already done today, you just don't hear about it in those terms.
> There are some people who appreciate games that are very abstract and with
> simple rules from which complex behavior emerges, such as a game like Go.

I love Go, but I despise perl. Perl is not built on "very abstract and simple rules. For instance, this code is quite hard to reason about:

1: my @to-infinity-and-beyond = 0, 2 … ∞;
2: say @to-infinity-and-beyond[1008];

# OUTPUT:
# 2016

This is self-indulgent mucking around. An inference procedure which goes from "0, 2 … ∞" to "the even-nonnegative integers" is bound to lead to unpleasant and hard-to-debug surprises.
No, it's true. I noticed the Drop the Mic thing last night, and ignored because it was late and I was tired, and I didn't understand what the hell it was. I actually thought it was some kind of Whatsapp-like "send voice message", done with an extremely ugly Minion emoticon.

Writing this should have made you pause. Really. May I ask where are you so proficiently allocating resources into?

You are correct in that information products and services are wealth too, but that applies only for stuff people want. Real people. Everything else is not wealth by itself, including almost the entire banking system.

Here's a mature community that didn't needlessly point out my "your" vs "you're" flub.
I love the idea of relocating to Canada. But every time I've looked into it, companies seemed to only pay entry level wages for experienced positions (80K-100K CAD which is 60-75K USD), while having high coastal-type housing costs (500K - 1M CAD, which is 400k to 760k USD)

Sure, greatly reduced health care cost. But even accounting for that, it still seemed like a big financial setback.

Unless I'm missing something, it seems like if you could afford a home in Toronto, you might as well sell it and buy a house in NYC or SF or Boston. Your cost of living would be about the same, but your income would jump roughly 2x or higher.

EDIT : For example, Sortable is the Canadian company in the article. Their "3+ year experience" Software Engineer position on their website maxes out at 100K CAD, a salary 25% lower than Amazon's Seattle interns make (~100K USD).
Also, timing. It's best to ask when you have a big responsibility on a project that's just starting up.

And... confidentiality... While compensation transparency is hip these days, I suspect it's not so popular at less 'enlightened' firms. I would make it clear that any raise you get, and your pay rate in general will not be shared.
I never like the contributions graph in github, i always find it quite meaningless. Feel like it could be more interesting to extend the repositories graph to users, it seems more like usefull data
Founders and Coders Hackathon Boilerplate
The solution to this problem, at least for the foreseeable future, is to have the autopilot only active when the car is on a certified autonomous road. This would have to be a legal definition, in which road construction would de-certify that road section, and the certification continuously updated via the autonomous cars themselves. As soon as cars start seeing degraded conditions they update a central database, which alerts other cars to switch to manual mode well before entering that road section.
I thought it was an April Fools joke, based on the layout.

The insanity about this is HE'S NOT EVEN THE NOMINEE YET.

Considering how pissed the establishment Republicans are that he might be the nominee, they're all betting on an open convention followed by some combination of a Walker, Cruz, Rubio, Ryan ticket.

I can't believe how people have lost their minds and he most likely won't get the amount of delegates required to get the nomination outright before the convention in June. Clearly whatever he's doing, he's struck a HUGE nerve somewhere, because there is a fuck ton of panic in the streets and it's still very, very, very early in the process.

> the only thing that you have to back your claims is a post from WUWT

A post which gives specific quotes and references from the IPCC AR5. Whatever you might think of WUWT in general, this particular post is talking about what the IPCC itself is saying.
I'm a huge proponent of the idea of centralizing the data model. That's the core idea behind Looker (where I just came to work after 3 years as a customer), and I agree it's a hugely powerful change from the world of everybody-in-their-own spreadsheet.

On your other point, though, to echo the build vs. buy discussion from above, I think it's a bit misleading to say "oh, we'll just use an open-source solution and that'll be cheaper." Because if open source means a couple of internal developers and an analyst, that's easily $300k+/year in salaries that you might not spend if you were using a vendor.

Anyway, given your particular statement of the problem you're facing, I'd humbly suggest you take a look at Looker. The data modeling layer that's core to Looker is meant to solve EXACTLY that problem, by leaving your data where it lives and then embedding your business logic in the layer that sits between end users and the data.
I haven't read it, but I'm aware of the book. But I disagree with the title of three felonies a day, I just doubt that. I suppose it's possible the book covers that in some way though.
Your comment is pretty much the argument I offer when discussing Go with friends and colleagues who are skeptical of it.

I tell them to think of it as a tool in your arsenal, rather than the toolbox that carries everything you need. You will write far less boilerplate than Java, silly fast for certain network usages,and Goroutines have saved me quite a few headaches.

With that said, it is still pretty new. But it is a great tool to have.
Let's just say for the sake of argument that this were a serious new feature and not an April 1 joke. Like a fast reply or something that could cause similar outcomes.

> "If money was the only thing that I wanted, there are many ways I could've done that. But it was much more important to do what appealed to me."
It's more like a label for code to run at start. Also shows the Perl 6 way to interpolate code within a string literal.

Compare to the rough Perl 5 equiv, for versions of Perl 5 before say existed:

sleep 2;
print "Code took @{[time() - $then]} seconds to run\n";
INIT{$then=time();}
The problem is that this is far, far from the first sight of trouble in the US. I'll spare the detailed history lesson, but Trump would not be the first right-wing, reactionary President in the US, and there are plenty of other reasons to leave. Many in the US feel helpless to affect politics for a variety of reasons. Trump may be, for some, more of the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.
It was real. I saw it last night with my account. Didn't use it because I didn't understand what the hell it was.
Finance hasn't contributed nearly as much to global GDP as your post suggests. Innovation (specifically the industrial revolution) has been the key driver of improved productivity. Everything of value has to be based on something real. The tractor is beneficial because it is a multiplier to labor. Derivatives based on thin air do nothing.
I didn't feel this article was clearly thought out. If just manufacturing things, whatever things are, were important then possibly replacing (magically) the industrial sectors in the US with those from China would be a good thing. If that came about then of course the US would be much poorer, possibly as poor as China. Its also not sufficient to say manufacturing is a source of good paying jobs. Highly skilled manufacturing sectors provides good wages and benefits (say, semiconductor manufacturing), piece work in say the garment industry provides sub subsistence level wages.
A better title would be - "it matters what an advanced economy produces".
I used to work in manufacturing (all over the world) and here a few impressions based on my experience. In the factories, today, where people in advanced economies would want their children to work, there are more robots than people. The ratio of automation will increase over the next 10 years as the machines become smarter. In advanced countries it is more and more common for manufacturing facilities to require the skills of people with PhD's, Masters degrees and highly trained vocational workers to function. There are going to be very few jobs in 10 years for people who can just contribute muscle power. Even in the far east, manufacturing is going to be a sector of falling employment (like agriculture in the past) and at the same time of rising output (like agriculture).
And lastly, here is a thought, based on my experience running a business. There is lots of competition out there in the world. One cant make a good living producing any "Thing". One has to find a product that is differentiated, valuable to others, and not easily reproduced by thousands of other businesses all over the world. And then one has to sell it. That's turns out to be a difficult job -- much more complicated than a slogan like "manufacturing".
Drop of water is the best comparison, as its shape is a direct result of aerodynamic optimisation.
It just seems like endless fake product announcements which aren't really that funny.
Many countries have required ID to establish service for prepaid mobile phone accounts for years. It definitely makes the signup process slower and less convenient for international travelers, but the documentation requirement is not especially burdensome either, since you're mostly likely going to have your passport with you anyway.

The people who will likely suffer the most are those on the fringes of society who aren't carrying foreign passports or government-issued IDs, and, yes, criminals. But not legitimate international travelers.

The link I gave gives specific quotes and references from the IPCC AR5. It doesn't talk about Barry Brill or his claims at all, nor did I.
