One thing that isn't written about in the article is the fact that in the USA people only know one setting for their air conditioning units. People would do great to try a different setting than "make your house a fridge".
Conditions are improving in Madrid and Barcelona for startups, but in general I'd say the laws, the banks, the bureaucrats and the system in general are all very startup unfriendly.

That I think it's the root of the problem. Dev salaries don't rise because there is no real competition for top talent. Many established software companies in Spain can get away with mediocre programmers with low salaries because they operate in captive markets and the quality of their products don't really matter.

If politicians really wanted to fix this problem they'd make it easier for new companies to compete with the old ones, but they are doing just the opposite.
Are there any legal uses for this (in developed countries) - at least for someone who isn't a major telco?
What is interesting in Ramadan is being dependent on the moon for the calculation of this month starts and end, so in 33 years you will experience fasting in different seasons
This is almost exactly the same as the Law of leaking abstractions don't you think?
Any religious activity is fine if it doesn't interfere with your duties in society.

If you're falling asleep while fasting, isn't that a sign of going too far with it? Seems intuitively unhealthy.
When you say "raw ISA" and "underlying VLIW code"are you referring to the microcops/mirocde or is this something specific to ARM chips?

Galaxy Note 7 revealed
A classic question in Order of Magnitude Physics classes is to calculate the maximum height of a mountain that a planet can support. There are a couple of solutions to this around the internet [1--2], but the main result is that the maximum height is inversely proportional to the surface gravity. At constant density, the surface gravity, in turn, is proportional to radius. So the maximum height of a mountain is inversely proportional to radius and you would expect that smaller planets have taller mountains.

You can take this to one extreme and ask how large an asteroid can be before it becomes spherical under its own gravity. This essentially means that the tallest mountain must be much less than the radius of the asteroid. If you work out the math it turns out that the largest non-spherical asteroid should be around a few hundred km in size, which agrees well with observations.

At another extreme you can perform this calculation for a neutron star. Although the radius is very small (which would seem to imply that it can support tall mountains), the density is much different from ordinary matter. As a result, the tallest mountains a neutron star can support is on the order of a few millimeters! Neutron stars are extremely spherical. (More correctly, due to spin, neutron stars are extremely spheroidal.)

It just begs to be a chatbot.
I started roughly 31 years ago and I was making $10 an hour, with rent @ $400 a month. That's $22 2016 an hour with inflation against $880 a month rent for a crappy apartment with air conditioning in 90-100 degree heat about 80% of the time, for half a year ( Dallas ). But at least we had a pool. Helicopters chased people down the "creek" at night.

"The benefits" are because health insurance has been a slow-moving disaster starting in 1949. And from about 1989 until 1993, I did without health insurance.

IT was a low-paying job. I paid my dues and the money's gotten better.
It is easy to be dismissive of executives and the fact that dealing with them takes a certain skill set.

If it is one thing I've learned as someone in a data-heavy field it is that executives don't care about the details and nuances, and that distilling the details of things like log files, etc. and conveying it in a way that aligns with their pain points, strategy, etc. does in fact take great interpersonal skills that many more technically-inclined folks unfortunately lack.
I've recently started giving a code review interview.

I show them a toy example involving a few classes and a some tests and ask them to review it in terms of correctness, maintainability, testability, etc.

Once they've identified some problem areas, I then have them edit the code and ask them to make the changes they suggested.

I think it's been working well since there have been examples of people doing well on algorithms questions, but not noticing a single problem with lots of bad code.

I think the question works better for more experienced candidates.
Out of curiosity, what is your reason to run DD-WRT on a GL? Considering you have Shibby also deployed and are thus presumably familiar with its feature set, is there something in DD-WRT that makes it particularly important to have on the GL?
I was just saying the other day that fasting in Ramadan could work as alternative to Soylent[1]. Eating one meal a day frees up a lot of mental cycles that goes into thinking about food (what will I eat for lunch, where from, etc). It also allows for longer stretches of uninterrupted coding time. And probably most importantly the post-lunch slump is gone.

One phenomenon that I hadn't found an explanation for is that I get an explosive amount of energy around 6 or 7pm (just before breakfast at 8.30pm). And this hour is my most productive hour of the day.

Slackware 3.0 or 3.1 was my first Linux distro. I remember spending many hours tweaking my XF86Config file to get my Diamond Stealth64 video card working, while worrying about the comment in the config about how the Vsync and Hsync params could cause your monitor to smoke if specified incorrectly...

I also remember in 1999, while installing servers with it, that you had to be careful to lot boot it on an open internet connection without first securing it. The number of running network server daemons the distros of the day started with is sort of mind-boggling now, and since inetd made it as simple as writing a shell script, there wasn't necessarily a lot of thought put into security. This, of course, wasn't a problem limited to Slackware.

I think that's very true, but it still seems a little crazy that you're doing the same work and getting paid 20-25% of a SV job.
I just hope they keep it Lucida Grande :)
I believe I've read that the typical fasting done during Ramadan said to be healthy (assuming you're already healthy to begin with, and yes, I mean medical literature, not religious) and I believe falling asleep when you're hungry is also natural for a lot of people, so I'm not sure it's unhealthy.

"decisions for the product are made by consensus of the team"

I favor democratic decision making processes.

Use voting systems appropriate for the task. Roman eval for new hires, go/no go. Approval voting for triage, new features. JADs for "visions". Creative writing exercise for post-mortems. Etc.

"Democratic" does not mean winner-takes-all, which is suboptimal.

"Democratic" does not mean consensus.

Enthusiastic generalist with two years of experience building customer-facing, production web applications. Interested in using modern development techniques to solve difficult problems. I have a particular interest in automation and facilitating ease of use both on the developer's and customer's side.
As a sysadmin on a Windows network of ~100 computers, this story makes me want to cry, although maybe for the wrong reason:

I see weird problems of the sort "It did work before I went on my lunch break" on a fairly regular basis. How often would I like to go down the rabbit hole and explore these problems in such depth, but if I did that, I would hardly get any work done. The frequency at which our users run into these problems is just too high.

It is so frustrating so restart a computer or maybe re-install it and see the problem disappear, because now all hope to understand what caused the problem in the first place is gone. And problems that disappear for no good reason have a tendency to return for no good reason, most often on a Friday afternoon, just when you're about to call it a day. ;-/
What's funny is that in this case the dynamic loader was sanitising something irrelevant to the actual capability granted, which seems to me should be a bug.

Also, I'll be an advocate for just starting emacs with systemd, and never worrying about it again.

That's NOT been the rule since the App Store was set up. Apple added in-app purchases to the App Store in late 2009 and started enforcing it for digital goods/subscriptions in 2010. Previously developers could link and sell their own digital goods/subscriptions in the app.
Chronix: A fast and efficient time series storage
Here's another perspective – "management" is a job that can be poorly executed by some, but is important as a method for effectively disseminating and collecting knowledge and goals from different parts of a larger community.

The reason my current manager is there is to communicate the business's priorities to me, and effectively deal with any grievances I have. This is astonishingly effective, in that I no longer have to spend time researching the reasons why I am performing certain tasks – I have a manager who can prioritise, but who is willing to take my views on board if I have them. Everybody wins, and I don't really want her replaced with an automated system.
I wonder how this would affect individuals who do physically intensive work such as manual labor. The article seemed to focus on writers, CEOs, I wish they had included a few people involved in physically intensive work. I wonder what these people do, is there some sort of Ramadan exception for those involved in physically intensive work? What about for diabetics? Do people struggling through Ramadan experience some sort of closeness with God or spiritual feelings of joy?

I have a lot of questions about Ramadan and the Muslim faith. I thought the topic was very good but I feel like this article article didn't really do a good job of providing insight into the struggles and spiritual journey involved in Ramadan.
Being a mileurista was a concern before 2008. Now it would be a blessing for many people.

Mentioned above by employing CPU + Accelerator way for heterogeneous computing, only use a CPU was homogenous computing. But Shen Wei 26010 seemed more special, if you define isomorphic calculated using the calculation method to calculate the same type instruction set and architecture units system, then, since the light divinity Taihu Lake using only Shen Wei 26010, and computing core and management of the core instruction set are the same, may be considered homogenous computing.

But in fact, divinity Taihu double precision floating point peak light up 125PFlops, stable performance 93PFlops, is indeed high-performance accelerators was made - essentially, Shen Wei is a 26010 CPU and accelerators combined - Shin 260 Granville 26010 core is divided into two kinds, one is the management of the core, play a similar CPU function, the other is the core operations, play a similar role in the accelerator, which makes Shen Wei 26010 single chip to complete the Intel E5 + PHI or Power + Tesla two products function.

And with respect to Intel E5 + PHI, or Power + Tesla, Shen Wei 26010 can be shared memory, which avoids the Intel E5 + explicit copy PHI, or Power + Tesla must face, thereby reducing the pressure on the memory, and reduces the performance loss.

Presumably, too, Shen Wei 26010 cache and memory are obviously too small, because memory access model may be very simple - it is tantamount to abandonment complex memory management model existing cpu and memory scheduling the task entirely to the developers, only CPU supports a simple memory access model, the hardware does not cache the conformance requirements of hardware (Intel KNL the cache consistency referred hardware), will work to synchronize software.

This unusual design makes Shen Wei 26010 at the same time have high performance and low power consumption to make up their own short board memory.
While it can work, "consensus" usually means ad hoc, no accountability, no followthru.

So, to summarize part (but probably not all) of your argument, "a CLA doesn't help because _any change that could be patented_ would be caught by the reviewer of that change"?

I wonder, in all honesty, how often do people search for patent infringement when accepting large inclusion-worthy PRs? I doubt very often, personally..
It's hard to believe that some thing going on for ~1430 years without changing is a superstition, IMHO.
> It really is a simple problem to solve -- pay talented people in Europe more.

Playing devil's advocate: If we limit the discussion to pure tech companies that target a global market, then yes, it is that simple. But there is a vast majority of companies that do not belong to that category, yet require software developers.

I'm thinking primarily of Spanish software agencies that have other Spanish companies as clients.
Both Google-logo Android and AOSP Android OSs are open to alternative app stores, unlike Apple's products. Where are the garden walls? Conversely, most major apps are distributed through multiple app stores. Indeed that's the only way to sell in China. Only a narrow category of 3rd party apps need Play Services, and almost all of those can treat those APIs as optional.

I don't think "leadership" is synonymous with "management". Some of my best managers have been mediocre leaders. Conversely, some of the strongest technical people I've worked with are great leaders.

Basically yea, LinkedIn, hacker news, local recruiters. When searching or posting an offer, do it in Spanish, if not most Spanish people searching wont find it.
I'm not OP, but I wouldn't recommend applying there either.

Their process is completely broken (they require candidates to spend hours on at least two assignments before even an initial interview).

This might be OK if an applicant had no CV or portfolio. In any case, most companies (large and small) thankfully don't do this.
IIRC some soccer players and athletes have obtained the blessing of a friendly imam to break their fast during competitions for safety reasons. I don't know if this is widely approved or not.

For your questions, as usual Wikipedia has the basics:

Interestingly enough, there are places without any cell phone coverage where being able to enable a small cell site would provide communications. There are also many disaster scenarios where it would be helpful to have such a capability.
The article laments how we use electricity to cool things, and talks glowingly about how people used to cool off. I didn't see a single thing in there that an average person could afford. Can you build a double-walled palace and import ice? How about hiring a bunch of punka-wallahs? How does the punka-wallah stay cool while he's expending a bunch of energy keeping others cool?

To me it reads kind of like the thing all kinds of underprivileged groups lament "fuck you, I got mine"
Have you found that the freed mental cycles came later in the month, after adjusting to the fast? In my experience, fasting requires even more mental effort than I'd normally spend just to ignore hunger pangs.
In my experience mentoring students and working with people during Ramadan, they get sick really often (maybe three times in that month). This is good, in a way, because then they're not required to fast and we can get some work done.

In many cases the lost month leads to them not graduating (MS or PhD) on time.

Personally, it's made me more aware of what a brain that's low on glucose acts like.
> I don't understand why anyone would still require special notation for interpolated strings, when we have the awesome and unambiguous string interpolation syntax introduced by Swift

You're both wrong. String interpolation is just a very thin syntactic layer. It's easy enough to write

printf("Half of %f is: %f5.2", someVal, someVal * 0.5)

instead of

print("Half of $someVal is: ${someVal * 0.5}")

and a lot easier for a programming language to parse, without needing to feed the parser into the lexer. And you also get easy formatting of the decimal (e.g. %f5.2), whereas string interpolation (in Swift, Apache Groovy, etc) requires a separate call, e.g.

print("Half of $someVal is: ${format(someVal * 0.5, "%f5.2")}")
Nothing. However because tmux is a terminal emulator running in a single terminal, the whole thing can freeze with loads of output if you don't rate limit [1]. My understanding (and experience) is that terminator emulates several terminals, so one pane freezing doesn't affect the others. I still prefer tmux, but I do find the different approaches interesting.

So... don't? Just use your default ISP resolvers?

Depending on what threat you are trying to avoid there are options here. The OPs threat assessment was wrong, though.
Developer skills take a very long time to train. For example, you can train someone to use a forklift in a day, but there are people who have developed for 10 years and still have trouble with version control software.

Developers are a professional role, and you don't get unskilled, unemployed people and train them on the job to be professionals.

Ramadan was my most productive month last year (hard to measure this year as I started at a new job just before Ramadan). There are no food related distractions (no thinking about lunch, getting up for water, going to the washroom, etc). The key was adjusting my schedule a little bit (start work later) to ensure you get enough proper sleep.
By remote do you mean in US or international?
