> Clicking a button in the IDE is not any different than writing: "foo -x".

Oh, far from it. You said yourself later down the thread that IDE needs to
anticipate an interaction beside the mouse-click (by exposing some
programming interface). It needs work to have that, and that is far from
being trivial mechanics. `foo -x' only needs to have this `-x' provided
somehow, and it doesn't care where it came from and how it was derived.

Command line does much, much simpler job of exposing underlying concepts of an
operating system. The two hard parts about the command line are learning those
concepts and learning that most of the time, most of the options are optional
and can be omitted. For GUI, many of the OS concepts are hidden, intentionally
or incidentally, but they are still going to bite if one doesn't know them.

> And where you'd run that command? Wont you "cd" there?

This is part of the operating system's concepts a student needs to learn
anyway. A working directory is still a necessary thing, except with GUI you
have no fsckin' idea where your program is executed, so good luck opening
any file (unless you use absolute path, of course).

> Maybe create some directories? Maybe delete some files you don't need? That's shell for you.

Oh, so you have just vanished file managers so many people use? Those suddenly
stopped working for somebody who happened to started learning programming? Why
do you think a student needs to manage his files with shell once he starts
writing programs, instead of doing things as he always did, in GUI?
FWIW, I'm not a senior dev, if I went back to FT I'd be somewhere between lead/staff and principal and I've steered my career towards in-demand areas (mobile for a while, then devops/platform engineering). The reason I saw salary bumps the way I did was because I negotiate hard and I didn't specialize, but rather learned the new trends and jumped on them.

That said, I feel you on the lack of remote gigs; a big part of why I went towards consulting is the opportunity to go screw off to somewhere warm for a month or two--I don't have a wife or kids at the moment--and work remotely. If it fits your skillset and your temperament, it might be worth a shake.

I have a great theft deterrent on my truck and Bronco II: Manual transmission. Most people in my area under 25 years old don't have a clue how to start or drive one, and the Bronco won't let you start it without the clutch disengaged (so no push starting).

Of course, this varies by location; I'm in the US where manuals are being phased out[1]. When I was growing up it was the other way around; you had to request (and pay more for) an automatic if you didn't want the "standard" transmission.

>We do not have enough respect for our Indian consumers.

This is clearly visible. You can take any area of business and you would find bad customer service everywhere. The very few cases where customers are being treated a bit better would fall into one of 2 categories:

1. The company is a foreign multinational.

2. The company is Indian, operating in an area of business which has foreign multinational competition.

Any field which does not have foreign players has businesses sitting on their asses, treating customers like crap and not innovating at all.

A big example is supermarkets. Big bazar, Reliance, More, etc are all homegrown supermarkets but they offer little over regular mom and pop stores or medium sized local supermarkets. Their prices are not significantly low. The service is crap. They suck up more of your time because they don't have enough cashiers. They refuse to innovate by introducing self-checkouts. Nothing. It is as if they are waiting for someone like walmart to swoop in and capture all the market and teach them how it's done.
> That's just an accident of neglect though, not something inherent in GUIs.

Of course it is inherent. You need to actively fight it if you want it
gone (i.e., if you want GUI scriptability). For shell, you automatically
have the scripting capability.

Yeah, I'm in favor of a fuel pump disable switch instead. Any passenger car with fuel injection will have an electric or electronic fuel pump, and splicing in a switch is fairly simple. Hide the switch where it's out of sight but easy to access by the owner and Bob's your uncle.

Yes, a valid point. But you can make the same argument against anything really.

Do you know what your language is doing in the background? Or your database? Or your web server? Or kernel? Or your CPU?

To tell obvious lies about node_modules in particular, IMHO, does not serve any purpose in raising the awareness about that particular problem.
As taco_emoji said, the difficulty is not avoiding the obstacles. What happens if a car is coming the other way. Do you reverse? Do you let them reverse? Did they flash you? Are they waiting in a 2-lane section? Should you wait? What if it's a bike instead - can you both fit?

Way more difficult than "don't hit the sides".

The article links to a demo of the inline hashing capability (Content Security Policy Level 2) in new WebKit / Safari Technology Preview, and I notice it also works in Firefox beta (49) and Chrome beta (52) on Android. Do these browsers support this inline hashing or are they just falling back on the 'unsafe-inline' in the policy?

It's cool that Safari dev tools allow you to compute the hash of inline scripts and styles. I only know how to do it for external assets using OpenSSL!
The thing is, Brazil's supposedly high unemployment rate peaks around 12%, which is quite close to structural unemployment.

Meanwhile in Spain the unemployment rate is around 22%.

You're unintentionally proved my point: Brazil's supposed crisis isn't a crisis at all when compared to what happened all across europe. A slight economic downturn doesn't make it a crisis.
Regarding your last comment,

> - Now can someone come up with a good bookmarking addon / workflow for me? :)

Unless I've missed something I'm puzzled why social bookmarking has never taken off or achieved critical mass. Once upon a time there was deli.cio.us (or however they punctuated it!) but when that went through a bunch of churn I think it felt like it got semi-abandoned - I stopped using it _ages_ ago anyway.

What is more incredible to me is that Linked Data is based on URLs so you'd think that social bookmarking would have evolved out of something in that space at some point but to the best of my knowledge it hasn't.

Perhaps it's the organisational, classification, taxonomy/folksonomy[1], tagging conundrum that is holding this space back, I really don't know.

While Qubes is probably the most secure desktop OS available, reading through this code shows the extreme conflict between high performance code. Especially highly optimized C code, and security.

> Old Japanese cars are still on the road, running well. My son is driving my original purchase 1990 Honda.

I recently moved out to the Bay Area from south Florida, and one thing that really struck me was how many y2k-ish cars were on the road looking practically new. I think it's mostly a matter of climate.

I would have loved to keep my 2000 Integra on the road, but the unholy combination of Florida's sun and humidity brought an early death to its paint, body, grommets and bushings. In contrast, I regularly see Integras in the Bay Area that look as though they could have rolled out of the factory five years ago.
Someone developed asm.js backend for PyPy, so it's definitely possible.
Burn out also looks like the effect of a constant bullying.

I mean, I have a wife, I work 9~16h paid 8 for 70$ I can't enjoy her on week end, nor the sun. It was the same when I was a coder except I was earning more money.

In society it has become common to forget about punch clocks. The limit between a safe haven you can protect yourself and mend your mind has been constantly shrinking: commutation, seminar, social events, excessive work hours, extra load (like being a sysadmin when you code or repairing unsafe truck when you are a mover) ...

I dare say: «burn out» is just the medicalisation of a social problem. In the worst of European glory and exploitation scheme USA used to abhor but are now embracing there used to be something called «professional fatigue».

This «fatigue» disappeared after the social struggle and the imposition of effective decent work hours.

Burn-out is just a pitiful way for employers to blame workers for the result of their actions on which they don't want to take responsibilities.

It is a counter productive management harming globally the society as much as jails are breaking humans.

Have you tried to ask at your job a strict workhours compensation? Your job will laugh at you.

Oh, I already can guess there are some exceptions out there that will answer I live in a world they don't see. But, how much of you when counting commuting, extra activities work related (like reading news to stay up to date, going to user groups), reading mails do actually have less than 48hr/week that are work related?

So AirBnB is worth 4x WYN?

That doesn't make sense to me
Cheaper, a simple locker system (nicely AirBnb theme). When renting, you get a code via text, enter it and a small locker opens up with the key. When done, you can deposit the keys in there.

You could even put up a computer next to it where you can search for immediately free rooms, pay and get the key right away, or just one friendly local guide standing around ready to answer tourist question about the city.

Put it in a convenient central location that's safe (airport, central train station).

Every once in awhile one of these articles pop up on a news site. People (read: non-technical audience) seem to enjoy reading about a mysterious method of stealing a car, detecting your laptop/ipad in the trunk, tricking an ATM to give free money, hacking your phone, etc, etc.

Reality is that this kind of theft never is as straightforward as the article tells you. In this case it required the thieves to break into the car first, then reprogram the key. The thief can't just walk up to the car and type some magic commands on a laptop and drive of. It requires him to break the lock/door/glass to get in first. That's about the same as how car theft was done in the early years: break in, hotwire the ignition, (bump)start the car. This "new" method even requires more time than hotwiring, so car manufacturers did actually make their cars harder to steal in some sense...
I've built an app and don't know what to do next
Hi guys,

I know y'all very busy, so I'll keep it short. The app in question allows its members to discover and create street art. You can find it at https://www.taggroo.com - and if you're extra busy, be sure to watch the short video to find out the difference between Throws, Tags & Burns.

Taggroo is much more than just Instagram or similar. Last week's update even allows its members real time chat w/ read notifications. Map, offline pics upload and other features are in the making.

The app has amazing potential imho. 5000 members have signed up in the past month, while the app itself is up just over 6 weeks. Of course, not all members are active - read below.

So I need your help with the simple question - where do we go next and how do we get there?

This so easily glosses over the linguistic apartheid in India (other African countries incl.), that it's shocking. See my previous interactions with the WASP imitations; I gather there are enough of them in India to form markets as large as Japan (oth. unicorns like Flipkart wouldn't survive).

A language without economic value dies eventually. It's likely that the complement of the set is poor enough to not be of consequence (India's median income is the lowest of the BRICS - ~ $600 per-capita).

India: you have bigger problems than the efficient milking of the population - you need to feed the cow first. Irony of ironies, the country is apparently a "socialist republic". It'd be interesting to know about the kind of "intellectuals" sucking off of the Indian state's (imaginably fat) tits - Chomsky mentions somewhere how post-modernism (the new religion in the humanities), rids a population of desperately needed leaders.

Others: No India is not going to beat China economically, nor will Africa. The former will probably produce enough clones and ship them your way for cheap (profit!); the latter will continue in ignominy as its land gets stolen from underneath.

Even if each ranging operation is fast, they will be scanning it around, so I suspect the effective duty cycle will be higher. Light bounces all over the place, so two sensors could still interfer even if they are measuring two different paths in space. It can probably be resolved with careful, expensive, and coordinated engineering, but I would expect the first gen sensors to interfere with each other just as primesense cameras do unless the authors explicitly claim otherwise.

You are right, the writing is wrong. I was trying to imply in the C++ class sense where we write functions directly inside a class, in Go, we have to define a function over a struct.

In your example:
you call the method using an instance of T right? that was what I was saying, we have to define methods outside the struct declaration and then call it using an object of struct.

>> perhaps because they aren't high-end

Or because they are not new. I had a bad experience after i bought, in January 2016, Intel NUC with Skylake processor and Iris 530 graphics card.

I had few months of struggle, like:

- problem with installation (installer won't boot without some cryptic kernel parameters passed),

- lack of graphics driver

- random crashes (like Google Maps causing the whole system to hang, requiring hard reset)

- processor not running at full speed

- system seeing only one logical core instead of 4 (2 cores x HT)

- "shutdown" system button causing reboot instead of power off

Most of those were fixed only after Ubuntu 16.04 came out, at the end of April. Some issues however, persist.

So, my impression is that Linux is good choice only if your hardware is quite old (like, say, two years, or at least one processor / graphic card generation behind)

For people like me, who want latest and greatest hardware Linux is not an option.
Those of us that were in the tech business between 1998-2001 are well aware it's precisely the people claiming "deep nuanced understanding of the industry" that drove the entire community off a cliff with mindless fundraising and valuations wholly unsupportable by common sense, or any other kind of sense.

Clearly the market is different now, but basic economic laws of nature don't get repealed. The reason a valuation question is the top comment on all these stories is because the valuations appear, objectively, to have no basis in a realistic assessment of the future discounted cash flows of the business in question.
"It either is proved wrong or it is not."

I do not understand what you mean by that.

Consider an 800 page physics textbook, where on page 234 it says that glass is super-cooled liquid. This is wrong. Does that one wrong statement prove the entire book to be incorrect? Certainly not.

So why would showing one thing to be incorrect in the Bible "prove" that the entire book is wrong?

After all, the 'Wicked Bible' from the 1600s, which says "Thou shalt commit adultery", is obviously wrong, but that doesn't somehow prove wrong the rest of that copy of the Bible.

> lack of corroboration does not mean something did not happen

That is the non-scientific view held be many Christian apologists. Is there anything besides the Bible where you use that argument, even when all physical and historical evidence strongly points just the opposite?

Do you also believe the ancient continent of Mu exists? Or that the Indigenous peoples of the Americas were members of some of the Lost Tribes of Israel? Or that it's possible to communicate with the spirits of dead people during a seance?

If not, why not?
