Let me give two stories. I am in full agreement with your statement, however want to give supporting evidence as part of a "I'm not sure how to push back well even after all these years without compromising a lot of political capital".

1. Just this week, I watched a manager wait until after I was on vacation, and then publicly chew out my employee for slipping a deadline. I would agree he should have pushed harder, BUT he slipped it due to our peers being very rigorous on his CR (he is a new employee) to bring him up to standards. (I would add we would have had even MORE buffer had the person in question not continued to change the spec 2 months into a 3 month project, which can happen, but should be acknowledged as a cost) .
The manager in question found this (the deadline slipping) regardless unacceptable and gave him grief in front of the whole team about it, and this is the second time I've watched the manager place these meetings when I'm going to be gone because otherwise I come down like a bag of bricks on someone going after my employees. But to why I mention that last sentence regarding my nature, NO AMOUNT of this seems to motivate positive change in the long run, _especially_ since I'm "managing up" and having to do this as an engineer myself, any big "push" I make costs a lot of effort and karma, and doesn't seem to stick long term despite my best efforts.

2. More specifically, I had a conversation you summarized above (taking TIME to dev well) just a few weeks ago with my manager. Over the last few years we've repeated a pattern, I take longer than he'd like, he gives me shit for it, I tell him it'll pay dividends long term, he grumbles, but then it does. (bug rates, iteration speed under frameworks I write, reuse due to good modularity/code cleanliness, these are all benefits you see rendered on a very short time scale, even just keeping with the most broad basics.) Now, I will give him credit for saying "you have a point and I'll leave it to your judgement" but that took me _two years_ of very incendiary 1:1's of my trying to put my money where my mouth is against someone who has been at this a lot longer than me and with some very strong opinions about that. I frankly don't see a "shortcut" after that experience, although the conclusion was more positive.

So let me tie up this ramble with addressing your conclusion: I'd LOVE to take control of my working conditions back. But when the same people (PMs) who lead to my just throwing my hands up at even TRYING to get work done at work due to constant context switching/interruptions _SCHEDULE MEETINGS_ asking us why we're so slow (and then spend the whole meeting complaining about how WE pull them into meetings they don't need), it seems like there are just massive gaps of understanding or lack of shared incentive between the various powers that be. I don't know how to take control of my working condition back, but I've damn well been trying, and would be curious to hear any anecdotal suggestions from you in working this through more "political" environments.
I fail to see what the panic is about. Britain will not want to lose access to the single market, so it is inevitable that nothing will materially change regarding immigration. Look at Switzerland whose citizens voted to control EU immigration and are now being told it is impossible. Even implementing a policy which says Switzerland can limit immigration to job sectors where the unemployment level is high is meeting resistance. And why is immigration such a worry anyhow. It is not like Britain would never have immigration. Last time I looked the USA startup scene does not seem to struggle even though they do not have an open borders policy with nearby countries.

There are several ad blocking solutions for Android which involve creating a VPN connection which terminates to an app local to the device. This allows the app to filter all traffic for ads including ads inside apps. These solutions depend on installing a user CA certificate in order to filter TLS connections. I wonder how much preventing these type of ad blockers played into this decision.
The moment the process becomes a goal instead of solution - now you have two problems.

You cannot abstract away the need for common sense.
Silicon Valley has acces to US talent pool, which is significantly higher than the UK one.

I'm on the same boat.

But, as counter arguments I see that,

a) there is a big(?) risk for Europe itself to fall apart within the next couple of years,

b) those cities cannot possibly replace London in the next few years. I think they'll probably share the "tech" that London will lose, and the gap will shorten between them and London.

Also, by being a contractor in the UK, I now see that this nice tax efficient way of working, does not apply in other countries, Germany for example. So after all, London might still be more attractive for some. ( Ltd tax might fall even more for example )

> to protect their prices on the secondary market for collectors

A lot of Wizards' approach to tournaments and playable cards is designed so that the secondary market's influence on the game is minimized.[0]

They saw beanie babies and comics implode in value after waves of speculation, so they set up a schedule where they churn out new cards and retire old ones on a predictable schedule. All this means the company has to think as little about the secondary market as possible.

You're right that counterfeits are a disruptor, but I think that's more a threat for current cards, not because people will print a bunch of black lotuses and moxes.

it's that it's the only place where you can get salaries which are even remotely close to what you get in the US

not sure developers in Switzerland, especially those at Googles European hub in Zurich would agree.
As they say, if you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person. It's not just that autistics are all different the same way allistics are all different; compared to the breadth of the entire autism spectrum, allistics are all pretty much the same. You never know what you're going to get when picking from the autistic box of chocolates. Maybe a savant, maybe a person of average intelligence but remarkable coping skills, maybe a person with not much of either.

As for "autistic programmers": for those of us with the skill to program, programming is a much better career choice than most, but even that is changing. Since the internet bubble of the mid-late 90s, allistic people have taken up programming in droves. The promise of easy money and prestige made programming a much more palatable career choice for allistics than it had been in the past, and now they've pretty much taken over. Programming is now a social activity. Cubicles are a luxury; the boss insists that seating everybody at long crowded tables with enough room for one laptop per seat, where everybody can hear everybody else's noisy conversations, makes the workplace more "collaborative". You are expected to be interruptible at any moment. Meetings are more frequent. ("Stand-up meetings" have had the effect of increasing the frequency of the weekly meeting to daily, while the original promise that they be short is falling by the wayside.) Some shops have enshrined the doctrine of Extreme Programming to such an extent that you are not permitted to get any work done without another person very close at hand, watching every move you make. Articles for employees state, in a very as-it-should-be manner, that the relevant criterion for determining who gets hired, commended, or promoted is not technical prowess but rather "soft skills", which bears out in reality as the number of tech startups founded by bros and hipsters who only hire "cultural fits" (autistics don't really fit in in any culture) increases. And books and seminars tell the boss that the person who prefers long stretches of working alone because that is how they get their best thinking done, is a danger and a threat to the organization and must be eliminated.

So in the modern workplace, hiring an autistic is indeed a very poor choice. Unless you can tailor the environment to their needs -- which approaches impossible unless you know them personally -- you're probably better off hiring the "cultural fit".
It is definitely going to be a problem. And people are already pushing see: Truck Drives Around London Urging Move To Berlin:

So, like, the whole article is about the perception of legendary talents as advantages conferred by autism.
Yes, that is wrong :)

So what's happening is that the extension stuff is going to be standardized, and that standard will be closer to Chrome's model.

However, this doesn't mean that functionality will be lost -- this is the key bit of confusion around this that's causing all the resentment.

Instead, the protocol will be extended. The intention is so that almost all extensions, especially the popular ones like tree style tabs, will keep on working; however they will need to be written to work with the new APIs. Functionality from Firefox's API will only be removed when there is something on the webextensions side that gives the same abilities.

The current system lets plugin developers directly hook into Firefox source, which means that theoretically any change is a breaking change. Architectural overhauls like electrolysis were impeded by this too. Instead, the desire is to switch to a proper API that is separate from the inner functionality; which is basically a core principle of API design.

Chrome already does this -- the API is limited -- but the generic model is the right one. The plan is to do something similar in Firefox, with a much larger API (eventually) than what Chrome has.

At first, probably just the Chrome API will be implemented, but IIRC regular firefox addon APIs will not be removed until the corresponding APIs exist in the webextensions format.

This will mean that authors of old addons may need to put some work into it to make it work again (which they had to do anyway for electrolysis, really). Also, obscure addons using very random internal APIs may also break entirely. But for the most part the average addon user shouldn't notice anything.
Can you point me to one? Sounds neat.

For all those reading this article and agreeing with it, I'd like to point out that it follows the classic scaremongering approach... suggests the worst case scenario based on an uncertain future, and explores no possible solutions. The only people it holds value for are those that seek to gain from dividing us.

From what I can see, the central claim the article makes is that hiring tech talent is going to be harder post-Brexit. There are a number of issues with this claim. For one, the perceived issue with immigration was pretty much never with those who were filling a skills shortage. I've never heard anyone complaining about doctors and nurses being brought over to work in the NHS, for example. The perceived issue was with low-skilled workers and/or people who were resistant to integration with Western values. I personally don't have an issue with immigration (and believe the problems are hugely exaggerated by the media), but to be fair to those that do have concerns about immigration, it should be pointed out that their misgivings weren't really directed at high-tech workers.

Secondly, there's the issue that talented individuals from EU countries may be less interested in coming to the UK. There is likely to be some people who perceive the situation this way, but there's plenty of tech talent all across the world, and the UK will remain a destination that people from less economically developed countries are interested in coming to, especially as the English language is widespread across the world.

I hope that the new Conservative leader will lay out a plan that makes it clear the people who are currently living in the UK can continue to do so, regardless of the state of our EU membership. I think it'd be a great help in putting immigration speculation to bed.
Exactly this. And I've known a company in Germany that are very happy to hire people from these nationalities even if they require a visa

(Which just goes to show how "we can't hire people outside of the EU while in the EU" is complete BS)

You're right in that it doesn't seem to add any information. It's possible that there's nothing more to learn, but it's also possible that the distinction would manifest in a subtle way that your current formalized understanding doesn't employ sufficient granularity to capture.

I guess I prefer the term appropriate because it more cleanly handles the case when the patterns "don't" match: by indicating that such situations don't exist. There's always a pattern to match, just as there's always some action that's learned (or instinctually) appropriate to any given situation.

If you're trying to see appropriate as "what works", then you're probably more strongly aligning the meaning with a rational process than what I intended, but I don't think you're wrong. Either way, it bears keeping in mind that our day-to-day language isn't really optimized for discussing these kinds of things, so there's bound to be multiple layers of confusion.
6 years. I may be wrong but the certificate of permanent residence (EEA nationals do not apply for the card, they apply for the certificate) just certifies that you have been in the UK (permanent resident, i.e. not on and off) for 5 years but is not a visa in itself. It is a requirement to apply for a citizenship (hence the +1 year).
Honestly I feel like having an Aspie Spectrum diagnosis is like a badge of honor to some people in Silicon Valley.

Depends on the terms of our exit. Free movement is still on the table for the likely winner of the Conservative leadership.
And how can I add the CA of my university, for example, which is required for some university networks?

Especially because it has to be in the global store?

Or how am I supposed to use my legal right to reverse and understand the functionality and APIs of software I have installed?

EDIT (as I can’t create new comments for the next hour): The certificate is not used for HTTPS – but for TLS for IMAP, for example, and for some internal services, eduroam, etc. Obviously, that means that the Email-App needs to use the cert, too, in addition to the Android system, and a bunch of other apps.
The recommended path for large orgs (one of which I was recently employed at, and attached to a relevant project), is to:

1. Ensure all internal domains can also be registered externally (although the actual external registration step is optional), but this means no more .local or .companyname type TLDs internally.

2. Use an external CA to provide your certs, for both internal and external use.

Obviously, this means a bit of pain[1] for existing non-standard internal domains, but with the big shift to cloud, this is less of an issue going forward.

Also, external CAs will no longer provide you with a cert for internal domains that are not also able to be registered externally.

Of all the countries, the UK is one of the most pragmatic when dealing with the economy. I don't know how the whole thing is going to pan out but the risk of mass deportation of EU nationals I think is close to zero.
Thanks, and yes, I've read about what hardness assumption is used.

My confusion is about what pieces are concatenated. Is the same input processed twice (different ciphers) and then concatenated, which is then the generated key?

And how can I force all apps to accept it? I’ll have to end up rooting every device.

This will just mean that even more will be running rooted, reducing security.
Why would this impact that? Apps can still use whatever certs they want, they just won't automatically pick up certs that are added at the system level.

"Most companies favor hiring average programmers that fit the mold over "weird people" even if they are amazing at their work."

Do they? At my company we half-seriously joke when programmers are too socially well adjusted, that they won't fit in. We prefer a bit of spergy.

I don't have any idea what 'most' companies think, or if large companies even have consistent trends in their own thinking.
It's not hard for UK companies to hire outside of the EU either, Tier 2 general and Tier 2 ICT sponsorships are pretty easy to obtain.

> their certs are more trustworthy than 90% of the certs that users would add.

Why? Why wouldn't I trust my own cert more than any Google trusted certs. I'm sure the majority of CA's are responsible entities, but I trust my certs more, because I control them!

The name of the game in grabbing a piece of the M&A increase in 2016-2017 is an increasing MAU engine. On the Android Platform that means polished UI components integrated with Google Material Design showing a visible change in UI workflow to introduce new app features with new version of the app.

The problem is if you do new app features as UI changes(its the only way that makes sense as you have to integrate with app users perceptions and worldviews) you run into UI feature back port problems. And to be blunt honest the average android developer fails at knowing android suport internals well enough to get any UI feature back-ported correctly. But, if I pay attention to android support internals and back port the UI features correctly than the UI changes to highlight new app features becomes a breeze to implement and thus we get a potential an increasing MAUs engine(my library back ports the UI features correctly and gives a solid foundation for implmenting Material Design UI components without having to worry how to back port them and thus can focus on the UI visible changes that signal a new app feature).

Since that increasing MAUs engine is focusing on grabbing M&A and or IPO results for a start-up in the form of leveraging MAUs for MA& and or IPO it might be advantageous to begin an email conversation with me if your start-up is newly funded and seeking their first android developer.
It's hard to really jump on that line of thought without more information. Plenty of misunderstanding occurs because people make unwarranted assumptions about what some words have been employed to mean on the basis of familiarity alone. I know a few people who seem to communicate entirely in terms of cultural signals, propaganda, platitudes, and slogans. This is the easiest stuff to understand, but it also doesn't offer anything novel.

If I'm going to say something mundane, I see no harm in asking someone to play a game to understand it. Even if you've failed to understand, there's no real consequence for it.
