I'll note a few of the very first ones. There's a couple modern ones, but I think the ones that influenced me earlier are more important, so I'll stop there.

Jim Butterfield: The very first programmer I looked up to. I learned a lot reading his code.

Michael Tischer: PC Intern author. That book was very influential for me. I have this crazy drive to know how things work and that book explained a lot to me.

Michael Abrash: My assembly language skills owed[0] a lot to his writing.

John Carmack: How could he not be on anyone's list?

This is an interesting idea, but I disagree with it only because I don't think the government should be in the business of telling a company what is dress code should be. Is there another way we could achieve the same goal?
You can require the victim to be of age. I don't have a good idea on how to deal with the second example, but perhaps you could issue restraining orders if a judge thinks it's warranted, regardless of waivers, and if that's violated the person goes to jail for the original crime, regardless of waivers? Then judges could still protect people.

Wow. That's a backdoor.

Trying to install stuff without the users permission, and using sudo without the users intent is really not right. How can we trust this if they do such things?

It looks like it is running a sudo command with a python script with scripts under a non-root user. This means that anyone who can write data to that non-root user folder can then run things as root.

ie. I can drop in a .py file and execute whatever code I want. Code run with sudo should not allow this.
Unfortunately yes. A single user is not a problem. But if hundreds of users abuse TOR for spamming via Tutanota, this becomes a serious issue. At least for the spam recipients and other users of our service, that might get classified as spammers by the receiving mail servers.

UC Berkeley only has a single EECS department. The department offers an EECS degree and a CS degree, but that is very misleading because the EECS degree only requires 2 EE classes while the CS degree only requires 1 EE class. Their curricula are essentially the same, the naming difference is mostly due to historical reasons.

There is a tremendous amount of overlap between the fields. Areas of especially large overlap: computer vision, machine learning, robotics, communication (compression and error correction), networking, computer architecture, etc.
You work in one of those fields ?
It is neither nonsensical nor an error.
In all fairness, there are small companies where people get a lot of time off and other forms of flexibility. However, I don't really disagree in general. A lot of the time "lifestyle business" seems to just be code for a smallish business that doesn't really pay up to market rates or otherwise provide competitive financial compensation.
I'm not a programmer, please forgive me, but I love using sublime as of writing tool for legislation and public policy in my work. The color coding system popular in programming, has been invaluable in drafting legislation.
* We mostly understand the problem at hand already because we were in the same planning meeting.

* We do our code reviews on GitHub by looking at the diffs. No need to pull code.

* We review the code of the tests, but we don't run them. Our CI server runs tests and coverage tools.

* The code is usually a short MVP, <100 lines including tests, so understanding logic and edge cases doesn't take long.

* If dependencies change, it was a group discussion and we already investigated.

* Again, small commits make this quick.

I guess what I'm learning from reading your comment is that part of why our code reviews are fast compared to yours is that we mean drastically different things when we say "code review".
IF is NOT heat. as a matter of fact, IF is a low energy radiation. So, very few heat.

It is what bodies at low temp (like a human being) radiates the most. Higher energie bodies also radiates higher energy light, such as visible light and UV.
If you're a unicorn-grade developer (God-tier school, significant time solving Major Problems), maybe. My job search experience has been that it's pretty much "perfect match or gtfo". If I had a nickel for every time I heard "While we were impressed with your qualifications, we decided to go ahead with another candidate with more experience in the tech stack we're using. Best of luck in your job search" I could pay my internet bill at least.
You can work around that fairly easily by having a permanent redirect (HTTP 301) for /.well-known/acme-challenge/* to a dedicated validation server (which might just be certbot in HTTP-01 standalone mode).

Um, no. They introduced age as probability of dying within that context. Therefore a constant age would produce a population size that shrinks exponentially, but never reaches the zero line, just like with radioactive isotopes' constant decay rate.
Veering a little, but important.

VR is going to be a thing. And it will have a big impact on property prices: No need to go to the office. The manager will be able to walk around a virtual office as they like (perhaps in 'mute' mode where you don't see or hear them!). Collaboration will happen across distributed teams as it has never happened before.

Forget living close to work. Live somewhere you like will be the theme of choosing a property over the coming 2 decades. Long 'nice' locations on a hill, next to the sea, etc. Short 'necessary' locations near a commercial center.

> 3) The Linkery’s most transgressive act was not in implementing a service charge. Our most transgressive act was refusing to allow our guests to pay our servers anything more beyond the service charge — this is where the angry came out. A certain small number of very vocal men (and it was always men who were vocal about it) resented that we were not letting them try to exercise additional control over our team members. This was true even though compelling research has shown that servers do not adjust quality of service as a result of tips; instead the idea that the restaurant was not offering our servers up as objects of control, was heresy. For these people, the primary service they wanted from the restaurant was the opportunity to pay for favors from the server — much like the patron at a strip club pays the club for the opportunity to dangle bills in front a dancer for individual attention. The idea that a restaurant could legitimately want to be in a different business than a strip club, was not an idea these guests could countenance. Thus, I was ever subject to witty takedowns like you are a douche, along with other well-thought-out gems.

That's a very interesting take.

How are any of these VR? The first warcraft was released in 1994, Eve in the early 2000s and Minecraft in the 2010s.

None of these use VR. Decent VR was a pipe dream in the 90s but today it will most likely become a reality. Not sure if the public will adopt it en masse.

The point is not if JavaScript is fast or not (which btw it isn't faster than C++ or not even just as fast), but how many layers of abstraction JS has to go through to display stuff on the screen or do anything useful. Having to fight with DOM and CSS to do anything like syntax highlighting is effectively triggering execution of millions of lines of code compared to sublime text that does a raw win32 or Cocoa call.

Comparison with 10 years ago is also not so relevant. 10 years ago you didn't try to autocomplete through an average modern JS project where thousands of files are created on disk even before you create your first div. Data processing needs are outgrowing CPUs improvements by far.

IOW there's no way Atom is getting as fast as Sublime, because of the huge stack it is built upon. It might get fast enough though, but my feeling is that the discrepancy is actually getting bigger rather than smaller, as we evolve our average needs as programmers

Average payments have gone down. In my experience, the best rates are for stuff that gets printed, where rates have historically not changed much for decades.

However, rates for web-only stories are often much lower than for print, and sometimes you get a flat fee regardless of length.

The result is that you can produce more words today for less money than you made in the print-only 1980s.
The mobile wave is ending and we are in the middle of the dip preceding the next big "thing".

I'm not so sure this is how brains work. I get the impression both from what I've read and uh... personal operation.. that the resolution of memories fades with time/disuse which likely makes "space" for new information. Brains have a very high plasticity. You might say well if you forget what you once knew are you still you. I'd argue you go through this several times already in our relatively short current lifespan. Are you the same guy at 35 as you were in your early 20s? I'm sure not.

I would certainly hope that no one stores unencrypted mail on their servers, but that's just a "promise not to look" situation, not an "impossible to look" situation.

As for the "encrypted mailbox", what you are describing sounds to me like the decryption is done client-side using javascript (unless the recipient needs to download something in order to decrypt the mail), in which case I would consider that to be essentially insecure anyway, as that is also a "promise not to look". It's the same situation as Protonmail, which I personally consider to be crypto snakeoil.

It's being presented as testing hardware, so you can get to know their stack. At $19, it's probably being subsidized substantially.

In the same way free AWS instances are not adequate for hosting a production website, this is a toy for devs to get to know their stack...
