I think a good started book is "I Will Teach You To Be Rich" by Ramit Sethi [0]. It contains all the basics you need and you can expand from there.

The One Page Financial Plan [1] as kokonotu points out is also a good one.

Further more, I'd recommend thinking about what you want to achieve with money. Ramit will tell you to enjoy life and save enough for later, I personally think the amount of money we (can) earn as software engineers can be used to buy a lot more 'free time' than most people think, allowing us to 'retire' (travel the world programming, building open source software, or whatever you like...) way earlier than most people. If you're interested in that kind of think you could have a look into Mr Money Mustache's blog [3] for instance. (Disclaimer: Some people might think he's a bit extreme, if you're that kind of person just try to pick up some of the good parts/habits and you'll be way ahead of the curve.)

For friends / family -> it's nice to have shared storage which does not eat your harddrive. fileserver.

I have some servers in the cloud and some mac minis hosted at home. I'm using an ssh tunnel to connect them, but it's far from ideal, and not stable somehow. (tried ssh and autossh).

For a new project I'm using 8 raspberry pi's, which are set up in a remote location. They have static IP addresses, and I to be able to access them. Right now it's done by portmapping. If anything happens to te network config over there, I'll have to fix them.

With zerotier I can simply put them on dhcp, and connect them all to a virtual lan.

I used it for a small project where I needed a quick way to plot some lab data. I chose Lazarus because these data needed to be displayed on all the computers in our lab, including a few Windows machines.

I was amazed when the program I developed on Linux compiled and ran flawlessly on Windows at the first attempt!

I used to have a healthy sense of "surely we have gotten over that racism stuff"... when I was a teenager.

You can't know it is a weapon. It is on your back. I've never been handcuffed, but they can hurt.

I have, however, been surrounded by cops taking folks home. Some friends of the dude I was dating, and we happen to have different skin colors. 4-5 cop cars, lights, drug dogs in a small public housing parking lot. I start getting questioned about drugs, and expected me to know a lot about my passengers. "People have been doing crack here, and we've found out white people are doing it too". I was let go, and to this day I hope those dudes were ok.

I've been pulled over for swerving after a lane change. Dude said we were drunk, even after we passed the breath test. It was late, we were driving around talking, but happened to be in a mostly poor, african-american part of town and we weren't. Her baby was mixed, though. It worked, we called it a night simply because of harassment.

Had guns out once with lots of cops. I'm still not sure what I did wrong. The park closed at 11, but since it was getting dark a parks department employee asked us to leave (but not the other people). Down the road we were surrounded, guns out.

The point is that there are a LOT of these sorts of stories, and it has taken a few killing with news coverage for them to finally - 20, 30, 40 years later - for anyone to start doing anything about them.

I was lucky enough to get out of my fear of the police because I've since moved. Racism exists everywhere, but not everywhere will tolerate it from their police department. When I'm out walking home at 2am here, I'm no longer afraid of the police. I won't even get stopped asking what I'm doing out, why i'm in a neighborhood, etc. So long as I'm just walking along, everything is good... and i'm in a city of 180k people.
FC Barcelona: Player analysis of 2015/16
I find that 50% of my work I can do in an open plan or open door environment and for the other 50%, I need quiet and a distraction-free environment. Open plan definitely doesn't provide that, but I'm not convinced that open door does either -- it very much depends on the floor layout (eg how busy is the corridor outside the office?)

If its a quiet-low-traffic work environment, then open door is perfectly fine, but if not, then it won't provide the quiet that a closed door does. I don't care about privacy, I care about (lack of) noise and distractions.

My ideal setup would provide a communal quiet library-rules room with couches; sound-proofed meeting rooms with doors; breakout areas for groups to sit and talk; hot-desking space; and 1-man offices with doors. Then allow people to use them as preferred or necessary for the work they're currently doing.

Failing that, at a minimum have open-plan + plenty of silent "library rules" space.

> "when you'll get better, you'll get that door"

So, you want to sabotage my work quality until I produce better quality work?

EDIT: Forgot to say that movement (seeing people walk past out of the corner of your eye, for example) can be just as distracting as noise.

Those instructions are treated as "legacy PITA" by CPU vendors and, being complex and harder to implement than simpler ones, aren't implemented as efficiently.

The CPUs have lots of duplicated logic to process many instructions in parallel and, on "friendly" code, can sustain average throughput of 2 or more instructions per clock cycle, provided that the instructions are simple enough.

The end result is that a loop made with normal adds, cmps and jnes outperforms those dedicated looping instructions.

They are only used by compilers when optimizing for code size and maybe by people who want concise hand written assembly, though I'm not sure why wouldn't they just use C in such case.

The in -> out example for Classes (transforms.classes) helps me understand how ES6 classes work, as I was really confused

I'm still unsure what they offer over a simple object with property key values.
I don't think it's that simple.

Let's perform a gedankenexperiment. There is a country A that "misbehaves" — e.g. threatens its neighbourhoods and promises to hit them with nuclear weapons ASAP (in other words, promises nuclear offense). Quick note: in this context "country A" means "government of country A". There is also a country (or an alliance) B that is overwhelmingly more wealthy than A, has more military might and political power. What do you think B should do? Here are the options:

1) ignore A until it directly threatens B;

2) use B's military, crush A's government, help A's people to rebuild the country;

3) apply political and economical pressure to A, which in practice means "make A citizens' life miserable so they deal with A's government themselves". It's sometimes possible to apply the pressure selectively (e.g. to A's elites).

I agree with you that it's a morally ambivalent situation. However, I strongly believe that an embargo (including "digital" one) causes less casualties than "boots on the ground". Moreover, democracies don't fight each other, so in this scenario A is (most likely) a dictatorship. Dictatorships are bad and I believe that wealthy countries should care about long-term wellbeing of citizens of other countries, at least for their own self-interest. Your opinions may differ, but it would be wrong to brush off the whole issue with "political mess created by dumb people".
That's interesting - how do they discount these theories? Do you have an example of such research?

Depends on the what the embedded system is doing. Right now I am working on a system with a real-time cycle handler and a non-real time thread that handles RPCs. For the real-time part, what you say is more-or less right.

But in the RPC thread is a lot more like non-embedded code: if I detect an error deep in the stack, I can just throw an exception and catch at the top level. The PC gets an error message and the embedded system treats it as a no-op.
Well, you're much more likely to be killed in a car accident wherever you live, and I don't have reason to believe that risk is particularly different in Canada or Australia. It's the delta between countries that matters, and from what I've read (mostly about Canada) I think by most metrics you are more likely to be killed by a cop in the States. We have a heavily armed and militarized police force here, and they have an awful relationship with many communities here. I'm sure there are parallels in Canada and Australia but certainly the popular perception is that the magnitude of the problem is larger here.
eh, Sorry but how is that related to college being free or not. As far as i remember its very expensive in the US and the effects you described still appear.

> “There’s outrage fatigue,” Mr. Donohue said. “You can very easily leave people feeling helpless, which can then lead to being disengaged.”

An anthropologist analyzed despair fatigue. And discussed journalism's role: How could such total, lock-step defiance of reality be maintained in a country with a formally free press and highly educated population? To some degree, you find the familiar bubble effect. Politicians, journalists, lobbyists, CEOs, and corporate bureaucrats rarely talk to anyone except each other. They constitute a distinct intellectual universe. (http://thebaffler.com/salvos/despair-fatigue-david-graeber)

The NYT article mentions, "journalists who advocate causes might be selective in their reporting or biased in their coverage." But of course, "professional journalism" hides selective, biased coverage. For example, something's newsworthy when a government or corporate bureaucrat says it: When a journalist reports what official sources are saying, or debating, she is professional. When she steps outside this range of official debate to provide alternative perspectives or to raise issues those in power prefer not to discuss, she is no longer being professional.

psychology is a quack science about boxing in stereotyped people
social sciences is basically a field waiting to start existing once neurology is done mapping the human brains (yes, there is not only one, those things described as diseases are just part of the species).

But anthropology, how is that not a solid field? It has a clear cut topic, it has ongoing discussions and has brought us evidence backed up theory's like evolution.

The irony is none the less, that something like a john doe who majored in sociology blogging about the basic income might be more useful in the long run then a john doe working in a steel mill, waiting for a robot to replace him.

I take a lot of screenshots for work doing competitive analysis with Chrome Extension Screenshot Minus, which are saved to Dropbox.

Now, what problem do I actually have that I have sought out a solution for but couldn't find? The abilty to automatically search these screenshots' content. eg. I know I took a screen of a certain site and want to find it quickly, without estimating when it was captured and previewing images around that date and hope to find it.

Accomplish this by either OCR on the images and index the content to make is searchable or save the HTML of the page with the image and index that.

I've looked into OneNote, Evernote and although they have some OCR it's meant for taking pictures of documents and doesn't kill my pain.

Put that in a Chrome extension and service I would gladly pay for that since it solves a real pain that costs me time and had too much friction.

I think the relevant question is whether embargoes accomplish the goal of making the citizens deal with their government. It could be that they're actually counterproductive (for example, it's often said that mutual trade increases the costs of a war, by making countries dependent on each other for resources).

If embargoes are pursued after decades with no evidence that they are beneficial, then calling them "dumb" is not so unjustified.

Q: So I was wondering if you guys at any point considered the support -- the official support -- of the Scala programming language. I'm asking this question especially now that we all saw that Apple released Swift after 4 years of work. And I think that Swift allows for things for iOS developers that we can't do in Java with the Android SDK. So my question was: have you ever thought about it before -- the release of Swift? Have you thought about it after that? Is there any plan?

Android answer 1: Well, so, I like Cocoa, but Objective-C is based on C, which is 40 years old, so I think Apple sort of had to, like, update it a bit. Umm, so, yeah [laugh], I don't know. Scala -- I don't know. Anyone want to take that? [Android team laughs]

Android answer 2: [loudly] No. [room laughs, claps] Alright, seriously, it's -- Java is the programming language for Android. I don't really think there's a lot of benefit to -- the entire framework is built around the Java programming language and I don't really -- I don't think there's much benefit for us to try to support another whole -- another different language.

Person from answer 1: What about Swift? [room laughs]

Person from answer 2: [jokingly] I'll think about it.

Person from answer 1: [mockingly] It's got optional semi-colons.

Person from answer 2: You have the NDK so you can throw something there. But the NDK -- it doesn't have access to the framework, and that's kind of the challenge. If you want to do a different language, if you want to have it as a first-class language equivalent to the current framework you've got to have either a whole new framework or some bindings to it, which is going to make it a really bad experience because it's going to be Java and this other language.

Q: I want to work with Scala because Scala is compiled to the JVM, so it can run on Android. So there are currently ways to do that -- to work with Scala -- but it's using third-party libraries. So you have classes -- that's what I meant by people to wrap their Java classes, but then it becomes tricky to integrate that cleanly with Android Studio. That also evolves quickly. I'm not sure if it's as complicated as creating a whole new language like Apple did, but my question was just if you guys were considering any...

Android answer 3: From the tool perspective, probably later this year or early next year, there are some changes going on inside Gradle right now that will make things easier to you to just have a module that's originally written in Scala that you compile down to bytecode and then we can just dex that and package that with your application. But it's not going to help you access the activity API through Scala code. It would be -- if you have some code that -- your business logic or whatever that you want to write in Scala because it's easier for you, you should be able to do that. Because as you said, it's compatible. It just generates regular bytecode and then just dexing it. But that's very different from saying "you can code Android in Java" where you have access to all the framework APIs.
But this infallible picture of Einstein almost discounts all the work the man put in. Yes, he was extremely intelligent but he also worked hard as hell to learn the mathematics necessary for his work in physics. And it took him years before he dropped the stubborn idea of a static universe because Hubble was able to see the galaxies outside our local group getting further away, an expanding universe no doubt. [1] It does everyone a favor these days, to actually know that Einstein's accomplishments are in reach for many fields like number theory and physics. Intelligence and creativity, an intuition and desire to understand what makes ones' heart/brain/physical body tick. I hate the bastardization of the immense work that Einstein undertook, he didn't just genius out these ideas. He worked for them.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_constant
True, however people who come from languages such as Python, where it is much common to handle exception rather than using `if else` checks. I think this is kind of stubbornness on dev's part not to change their coding patterns depending upon the platform.
Very nice. But I would be more interested in making the transistors themselves at home. Imagine if that process can be automated (in a 3d printer?), that would be really cool.
I'd also be curious about the run-time costs (performance) of an exception-ready system that doesn't actually ever handle exceptions vs one that doesn't consider exceptions a possibility.
That's great insight and advice! Thank you :)!
