Hey John, some advice you probably know but I'll say it anyway: You're gonna have to increase those salary ranges. Almost everyone in my NYC college graduating class who got into programming got a job that paid at least $65-70k, with no experience. Those with more experience got up to $90-100k. And of course, you want someone experienced to build your product.

Just saying in case you're having trouble finding people local in NYC.

Aside from that, the project looks super interesting. Best of luck!

Of course there is. The guy who recruited me for my current position basically took a look at two things: my website / blog and my GitHub profile.

He was able to find far more useful things than he could by simply looking at my LinkedIn profile. He found out about me because he tweeted that he's looking for someone and one common "friend" (friend is a bit of a strong word here since I have never met that person offline at that time) replied to his tweet mentioning me.

That was it.
Not really. They usually come from the fact that legal services are just exceptionally expensive. This, in turn, is largely driven by the fact that, for companies with a lot of money and a lot at stake, legal services are also exceptionally valuable. This drives up rates across the entire industry.

There are other dynamics as well, but I think this one dominates.
Most things I note just go into the notes for that day, and only the month is in the index. Bigger things (meeting notes, or drawings from a brainstorm session, or some project you are planning) get pages of their own and thus a place in the index.

Right, but generally this has not been the default behavior. If you're lucky and your chosen libraries were written by wise people, it's a couple lines of code and a few tests.

Google is trying this with their YoutTube Red, which removes all advertising from YouTube.

I believe it is actually kore profitable than advertising. With ads, an average person is worth between $0.01 and $1 a month (depending on what type of ads), much less than the $9 for YouTube Red.
That would almost assuredly force Google to get involved. I think it's more likely that they will continue to sue just a few small time developers here and there to try and keep things under the radar.

I'm not sure that it's as cut and dried as you describe.

If I understand correctly, GiveDirectly is uncertain about the effectiveness of their programs outside of their current "pilot" countries.

[there are lots of factors: the poor in Kenya & Uganda are very poor - and the marginal dollar to them is very effective, replacing thatched roofs, etc; Kenya has good support for transferring money]

Besides, it's a good thing to experiment to see how effective different methods are. It seems naive to settle on one method and decide all other methods are "stupid," especially when contributing to one doesn't necessarily detract from the other [the Gates foundation has enough money to saturate any one charity].

It's always so surprising to me to see people unhappy about the good work others are doing.

They need to make cancelling subscriptions easier
Suspect we're singing from same hymn sheet. Not sure if you read the linked blog post but the idea was to cut complexity and to push back against the creation of endless to-dos into a pit of unending pain. A no-cruft list, with some kanban features, but zero-code was the plan.

t is not more simple than a plain text file. It invariably contains hundreds of lines of code and encourages you to throw tasks into an invisible task-pit.

So yeah, I think it's a case of whatever works for the individual, but pruning and preening an organisational system, constant reviewing and decision-making about the list itself; that's not what I had in mind.

Cheers for looking :)
I still don't get why the presented url for downloading tarballs at github just use the version number, but then redirects to a more traditional filename once clicked. It gets alternative download tools like wget royally confused.
Not sure if this is what you mean, but according to Graziano's theory, the attention schema is constantly being updated to reflect what is going on in attention. That information is then available for the attentional system where different parts of the brain compete about what to pay attention to. In this theory the attention mechanisms are the processors, and the attention schema is the informational model of what those processors are doing. Changes to the attention schema would reflect what a person is conscious of, while changes to the attention system would change what "bubbles up" to one's awareness.
I've been very pleased with the subscription experience on the App Store.

The reason I usually hate subscriptions is that they are a headache remember, changing credit cards requires me to remember and update subscriptions in many different places, and providers make it hard to cancel. My experience with subscriptions on iOS has been very positive. It's easy to pay for and easy to cancel.

Personally, I would rather pay a small amount per month while being able to cancel at any time than pay a larger amount up front for something I've never tried. If the app is compelling enough to keep using, I'm happy to keep paying.

i'd think that it is the other way - in parallel with filing of a patent application you can just publish it on the Internet thus making any application of secrecy to it pointless (until of course publishing of such info is in violation of some already existing law in the first place).

"national security-related inventions" - it is a pretty vague notion. Anybody who saw real "national interest" Green Card applications can attest to it :) All China driving Priuses or Teslas would make China much more [energy] independent and this definitely would be related to US national security.

Mastering Programming [Kent Beck]
Data warehousing is something I really hate to even look at in general. The implementations are typically optimized not for query performance; instead, they are "designed" to allow people who don't even know what a database is to execute queries.

The idea that an entire database should be designed and normalized purely to allow people with no knowledge of basic database mechanics to work with it shocks me. Instead of designing disgusting database structures, send your marketing analytics people to courses where they can learn the basics. I had one job in particular where I spent more than a year dealing with this crap, and it was the most frustrating thing I've ever had to deal with. Never again.

As someone who is closely following the topic I would say he is pretty accurate.

Most of these laws are passed claiming it is meant to target hardened criminals. Good people like us think it is okay to take away any rights of people who we consider as bad. Given the choice cops will not knock down the door of Drug dealer known to have automatic rifles at his home but some poor old cancer patient who is unlikely to resist or cry.

These problems are not a creation of police. These are created by good people like us who do not empathize with criminals, minorities and other groups which by default consider "less human".

Three-person babies IVF technique ‘safe’
Initially, yes, but then as a human learns more about the game they begin to make plans at a much higher level than just the basic mechanics of moving around. In the video, the machine continues to die in very basic ways even after a hundred million iterations. A human who had played the game even a tiny fraction of that many times would be expected to complete an entire play-through flawlessly.

And this still doesn't address my original question. A human who was able to master Montezuma's Revenge would have a dramatic advantage in learning and mastering the game Zelda compared to somebody who had played neither game before. What experience, if any, could this machine be expected to bring to Zelda, assuming no modification by the researchers?

How Two Seattle-Area Brothers Made Dwarf Fortress
Nunjucks – JavaScript templating engine from Mozilla
Typically, filesystems are designed and tuned around the assumption that most of your data is stored in relatively large files. For instance, a typical ext4 filesystem uses 256 bytes per inode and rounds each data block up to a multiple of 4096 bytes.

So if you want to store lots and lots of tiny objects, it's very inefficient to store them each in a separate file. At that point, you could design your own compound data format, making sure it efficiently supports all the different operations you might want to do... or you could just use a database which has already solved the problem for you.
The sudo fraud
> It looks quite a bit like a subscription model to the average person

Not really? My problem with subscription software is that you lose access to it if you stop paying. I used Photoshop 7 for a looooong time because we didn't need any of the new features. You can't do that with Photoshop CC. Because it's a subscription.

If anything, maybe you could call it an "update subscription," but if the software works without an active subscription, then it's not a subscription. That would be like Comcast saying "If you cancel your cable subscription, you can still turn on your TV and watch reruns of whatever aired when you were a customer."

Rcm: rc file (dotfile) management
One thing in this article that really caught my eye was "Do free work". When I was a young kid I remember my grandfather, who was about to retire from a long career at the power utility having been head of the union, and much beloved by all his coworkers and managers, told me about how he got that job. He had been laid off at a grain mill, and was getting by as a butcher. But a friend of his got him in the door to see the hiring manager at the utility. My grandfather said I'll work two weeks for you for free, and if I make you happy, then you can hire me. After the first day, he was hired. I guess this also touches on the article's point about networking.
