Right I agree. But admitting that may change how we view the issue. If we accept it isn't these faceless near-criminals throwing garbage at us, but rather advertising companies producing ads that work.

Still, I do not know what to do about it. It is the bane of minority to be at the will of the majority.
Curious as to the criteria used to evaluate the resources.
Java is getting lots of new competition from languages that have proper support for value types, have layout control and have AOT available for free on their reference compilers.

On the desktop it already lost to .NET, Qt and HTML 5.

On the mobile it might reign in Android, but Android Java is not 100% Java and I don't see Google improving the language, in case Oracle stops doing it now that they had another setback.

They went silent on future of JEE and IBM is now doing lots of Swift and Go support, while making J9 language agnostic.

So I really don't care about jigsaw.
One thing Patrick seems to be wholly ignorant of is that engineers, by default, maintain a very high correlation with nonassertiveness and dearth of social skills. Those stereotypes exist for a reason. For most of us, these factors are baked into our essence from childhood, and are virtually impossible to break. In the absence of concrete interaction examples or a corpus of negotiation scripts to analyze, none of his vague advice is useful for many of us.

We use LFS at work and its base OS for our firmware. I started working on LFS like 5 years ago and we still use it(transitioning to CentOS minimal). One of the reason, my senior devs choose to stay with LFS was it simplicity and small footprint. We have been using LFS for almost a decade now. It was perfect fit for OS on 30GB SSD. Too much room for other stuff. One of the drawbacks I did saw is packages. Not easy as "yum install <>" and be done. Moreover, It got really tricky to get LFS working on AWS.
LeEco Le 2 Specification, Features and Price
The main psychological barrier is that it takes surprisingly long to choose groceries online, almost as long as walking around the store

I think this is part of why I don't get food delivered; I'm quite close to the store and wandering round the aisles is a good prompt for buying things. Especially as I'm very special-offer-driven.

I've been considering writing a random recipe generator/selector to help with this. "Why not buy $(meat) and $(vegetable), $(cooking_process) it and serve with $(sidedish)?" Add a "That is a terrible idea, computer" button to tweak the Markov parameters a bit and bam, MVP.

(Yes, I know the special offers are something of a con, but I also have a good idea of what the non-offer prices are!)
Clojure Breadth-first search and A* Pathfinder
No one is worth any intrinsic amount. The amount is relative to the work they do, the industry they're in, the state of the economy, how many other people can do that job, how many have actually applied, etc.

Any salary formula is entirely arbitrary. We have a pay scale simply because it is a useful tool for conversation, not because it represents any sort of intrinsic property of the person being placed on the pay scale.

If your main concern is getting paid as much as possible then we're probably not the right place for you to work anyway. We try to pay well but we certainly can't afford to pay as much as, for example, banking, or Facebook. Importantly, we have no interest in trying to sucker someone into working with us if money is their primary motivation. They won't like it here.

To answer a likely reflex-response to this: that doesn't mean we think people should be working for free, or that we judge people who want to earn more money. It's totally fine to want to make more money. Different people have different expectations and requirements at different stages of their life though.

Looks exciting on paper, but I wonder how much work is needed to bring this to mass production.
Similarly the sloshing back and forth between predefined ontology/semantics and "deep learning". In a way, isn't Cortana attacking many of the WinFS problems from the opposite direction? Cloud first and "deep learning/AI" versus local first and "deep semantics".
But couldn't you have made the same "this will never work" argument when Uber launched? Recall it was originally only available in major cities that had taxis you could hail (at least in theory) and was significantly more expensive than a cab.

I think grocery and other same-day retail delivery is going to be huge, even if it seems a little weird and unnecessary at first.

"One thing Patrick seems to be wholly ignorant of is that engineers..."

It seems far more likely to me that Patrick has made it such a focus for him to share this advice is that he is intensely aware of it, rather than what you said.
> Importantly, we have no interest in trying to sucker someone into working with us if money is their primary motivation.

Are you a charity doing good work with orphans? Or are you a business trying to make as much money for the investors as possible? If the latter is true, why wouldn't someone work for you with "money as the primary motivator" ?

(This is not Rhetorical, I actually know nothing about your business. But I do see this argument a lot from companies that are 100% for profit and do nothing to better the world)
The big question then is what replaces laissez faire economics and how? How do we take the best of the free market while ensuring that governments and public sectors are also robust? I feel like software and technology must have a huge role here, but don't know enough to be able to point out specific solutions.
I would recommend gzip compression instead of this, which would compress the given data even more, without requiring any code changes.

For a lot of years Opera had all 3. It was faster and used less resources than Firefox while it was more customizable out of the box (Firefox needed heavy duty plugins for parity or better).

What is "click-bait" in this context? Is it in the Google search results? Or is it an ad displayed in a page? If it's an ad, why call it click-bait - it's just an ad.
> Two British examples [of neoliberalism], suggests Will Davies – author of the Limits of Neoliberalism – would be the NHS and universities “where classrooms are being transformed into supermarkets”.

Without taking a bit of Davies' argument into the article, that seems to badly undercut the argument. I'm not sure I can imagine a segment of society less neoliberal than either of them. (particularly by comparison to other western democracies)
This isn't correct.

When I say you're worth $X, I mean: "you're worth $X to me".

If you get a job offer elsewhere for $Y, you're still worth $X to me.
> But the executive is a single entity under the President.

Given that Congress constitutionally can, and does, assign functions directly to specific entities within the executive branch, the concept of the unitary executive, while not entirely lacking in validity, is limited even as a description of the Constitutional structure, much less practical and political reality.

> The OLC is like the executive's in-house legal counsel.

No, its not.

Its like outside (advisory but not trial, as the latter function is handled by, well, much of the rest of DoJ) counsel to executive branch entities other than DoJ, which all, in fact, also have their own in-house counsel.

Also, what advantages, except existing code bases, does Java provide to Kotlin, Go, Swift, Rust? For about any use case I can imagine a better choice than Java.

Also, concerning the recent events (Google vs. Oracle), I think every new project might want to triple check if they really want to use a product from someone like Oracle.

The sites that abuse clickbait generally post a lot of it. It's not like, say, PBS posts articles ending in "..you won't believe what happens next".

Wouldn't it be a net benefit if those sites closed down? It's not like there's much value being lost.
Buildroot is fantastic - I've used it to build single-purpose VMs before. I suppose it could also be used to build really small Docker rootfs tarballs, too.
Despite the likely "no", the very fact that it has gone this far is a very positive step. I'm personally coming to the conclusion that Basic Income will be the key economic model of the 21st century, and will be adopted by every major nation in the world.
I completely understand what you're saying: This is exactly why I wrote my book and courses, and why I offer 1-on-1 coaching. And I focus very heavily on providing real tactics, templates, worksheets, scripts, and examples to make the process as transparent as possible.

For example, we talk about "The Dreaded Salary Question". Here's an article I wrote that discusses this question in detail along with what to expect and exactly how to respond: https://fearlesssalarynegotiation.com/the-dreaded-salary-que...

And we go into more detail in this episode.

To put a finer point on it: A lot of the reason I created Fearless Salary Negotiation is specifically to address the factors you mentioned. It's why a lot of my examples in the book involve software developers and related topics.

If I can clarify or elaborate on anything that was vague in the episode, please let me know so I can give more detailed information!

Thanks for your comment!

EDIT: I am on the fence about this, but I think it's extremely pertinent here. I mentioned I coach people and this is a big reason why. If you're a software engineer and you're tentative about negotiating, I can help you. https://fearlesssalarynegotiation.com/coach
Comments for the sake of humor are generally frowned upon on HN. The exact same topics are usually posted on reddit, where anyone is welcome to meme and joke all day. HN tries to stick with substantive, interesting commenting. I am not trying to speak for everyone, this is just what I have viewed.

Jokes will sometimes fly, but it's usually in pretty inactive subjects and they aren't political like yours.

Work for what? Do you actually purchase items you see in these ads because of the ads? Especially on mobile, every ad click I've ever made was accidental.

Small businesses are foolish for advertising like this, especially ppc. Large business may be able to get some sort of successful branding out of it I suppose.
One aspect of web ads that nobody seems to mention, especially with click-bait articles, is that people click them.

No one seems to mention the exceedingly obvious, without which the whole discussion is rendered moot. The fact that someone, somewhere is clicking an ad is not lost us, but we've moved on to a higher level discussion.

My understanding of these flat metamaterial lenses is that they're fine-tuned for a single wavelength of light; you can't put one in a camera and expect it to work like a glass lens did. I'm sure there are applications where control of monochromatic light is important, but I couldn't tell you what they are.

It's an awfully important detail to completely omit from an article.
The people being insubordinate may well not be political appointees that serve at the pleasure of the President and who therefore could be fired by the President (and, procedurally, the President can't directly institute the processes which would lead to firing them, either), and while the President can fire the political appointees above them, the President can't replace those political appointees without the cooperation of the Senate (unless the opportunity for a recess appointment pops up.)

My brother and I were once camping on the Tour du Mt Blanc. As we were washing up after eating in the dark, we saw multiple sets of approaching eyes reflecting our one headlamp. Wolves? We couldn't tell. They seemed very large and intimidating, whatever they were and weren't a familiar form even as they got closer.

We became increasingly nervous until it turned out that we'd camped on the wrong side of a fence and curious horses were approaching our campsite in their paddock. Probably didn't help that I had a childhood fear and recurring nightmares about horses. Later, we woke up to them licking the tent.
Wow I was never able to find these, TIL.

It looks like they had that in mind while they were designing it:

"But our lenses, being planar, can be fabricated in the same foundries that make computer chips. So all of a sudden the factories that make integrated circuits can make our lenses."

If this is true, I imagine old foundries could produce these since they probably don't need anything near the precision or consistency that current-gen chips require.
I read about a bunch of growthHacking/SEO/spamming/productthing/astroturfing effort. There wasn't much mention of talking to users getting their feedback and iteration to improve the product.

Coding is easy. Twittering is easy. Talking to users is hard. Much harder than socially engineering placement on Product Hunt and less fun than photoshopping up an ideal "booth babe" or writing a blog post...it's even harder than posting a blog post to HN because not only does it carry the same risks of vulnerability but those risks are even greater.

If the project is going to succeed, the push should be to find a small group of people use the product because it fits their brain...just one.

Good luck.
Why Britain banned mobile apps for government agencies
I love that you are proving to others that it's possible to build a great business and still be healthy and happy. So often the message from startups is to sacrifice everything—even health and family.

I'm excited to see your business grow using this model, and hopefully others follow your example.
Introducing Research for Practice Expert-Curated Guides to CS Research
Neither. We're a purposeful, for-profit, founder-owned[1] company. Just because we are for-profit doesn't mean profit is our only motivation. It's a false dichotomy to suggest that because you want to make money that must be your only driver.

Our view of business is that, much like humans, it can achieve and balance multiple objectives. You want to make money: does that mean you want only that to the exclusion of or above other objectives like finding love, raising children, being a good person, etc? I assume not. We want to make money: does that mean we want only that to the exclusion of or above other objectives like having fulfilling work, working in an open organisation, being respectful of others, etc? No.

[1] Though opening up the shares to employees within the next couple of months... it's taken a while to put the right system in place. Options wouldn't work because we have no intention of ever selling the business.

Edit: Given your clarified question, I will also add that what we do is to help other tech businesses to raise government funding so they can develop cool tech. Many of them have raised money from investors - I don't think that necessarily means that their only purpose is money (though it's certainly true of some). See argument above.
Smilodon: attach EBS+ENI pairs to instances
So a headless server is ‘embedded’? An old-school vector supercomputer that required a frontside host system is ‘embedded’? No, surely not: ‘embedded’ requires the notion of the computing system to be essentially a controller of a physical process or system, i.e., the component that controls a device or machine that operates in our actual physical world. It might very well possess a (perhaps rudimentary) screen and keyboard or keypad.
A sound suggesting an approaching avalanche could lead to the panic you mention. Plus, someone further up mentions the possibility of the tent door being frozen or difficult to open.

I think it's suggested that some might have taken clothes from those that froze to death, explaining those left naked. If some climbed trees and fell, or fell into a ravine, that could explain most of the injuries.
Because getting to the point of being a successful business is a really long road, and going down it with someone whose primary motivation is to make money for themselves is going to make that trip way less fulfilling.

Simonne Jones on the Intersection of Science and Pop Music
so every test you write verifies the file system is in tact afterwards? Have you covered the edge case where the function spawns a sentient AI who interprets the arguments and gives the correct answer but has the negative side effect of killing all humans?

If your code is pathological it's not your tests' fault.
(Full disclosure. Simonne is a friend)

We all love reading about inspiring people with immeasurable passions for creating. I am especially moved when those passions are rooted in a vision of humanity’s advancement. Simonne Jones is a person who embodies these features and someone who I am inspired by every day.

Her tenets of invention are analogous to how startup companies realize their own success.

- Her creations fill a gaping hole in an industry
- She has an undying love and desire to create
- She works inspired and tireless daily in her pursuit of getting others to realize their own potential
- Technology is her vehicle

Just like startups in their industries, she is creating something novel in the music world. She pairs pop beats (she produces her own music) with complex scientific and philosophical metaphors (she has a formal education in the sciences) that is otherwise devoid in modern pop music. Her music and voice are wonderful to listen to first and foremost, but is also scientifically educational and emotionally connected in lyrical content.

Simonne released her first EP "Gravity" last week on major label Vertigo/Capitol (A division of Universal Music) (Spotify Link here: https://open.spotify.com/album/2mSTYu3wB3Qhg45pKIYAuY).

Do you find it encouraging for music that a major label is interested in promoting an artist that is also a scientist?

I like this design and dislike mock-heavy tests. However, doesn't it have similar issues to mock-heavy tests? The database actions are equivalent to the mocked-out method calls in an imperative design. Your tests can pass and the application can still fail when the database doesn't behave the way you think it should.

You can separately test the code that accesses the database, but maybe it's not as complete as it should be, just like in the layered architecture.

Fundamentally, we still have a layered architecture, with the connections between layers represented differently.
For smartphones, where thinness is very important but area is less so, it would not be unprecedented to make an array of 4 monochromatic cameras and rectify and combine the images computationally.
