Having been through a handful of managers in the past few years I know that your direct manager can make a huge difference. My work itself doesn't change but my stress load is way less under my current manager. Just knowing that she has my back makes a world of difference.

For example I've never actually had any "career development" type discussion with a past manager. This manager makes sure we have those discussions and then actually tries to put me on project where I can learn skills to help me advance. On top of that I found out she actually gets reprimanded for having these meetings but she fights back saying that it's necessary, and it really is. We have huge turnover and her manager wants her to put less effort on employee satisfaction and career development.
It is very noisy and isn't shown as a ratio to passengers (or maybe a ratio to passenger-miles would make more sense).

And measuring deaths is weird as well e.g. could have the same number of crashes, just with fewer deaths, if there were improvements to other aspects of safety.
Wonderful idea, and we could even go so far as standardizing how we write it so that we don't need to worry about putting it into JSON and makes it more memorable for humans. Something like:

I blame the Huffpo. These narratives are their bread and butter and that site is incredibly popular with liberals. Its odd that liberals went from their 60s era 'freedom from authority' ideals to becoming authorities themselves and engaging in exactly what authorities back then were doing: being overly moralistic, shaming sexuality - especially for boys, creating narratives of 'the other,' being dishonest to win political points, shaming/chiding for social control, etc.

The Huffpo is about as far as you can get from the Summer of Love as humanely possible. Regressive liberalism is a real thing and barely recognized. It seems liberals have very much bought into shaming and apparently it gets results (ad revenue, facebook likes, etc).

Will repost an earlier comment of mine:

"I met a director from Tesla just after their unveiling of the Model X. She said a small number of people were assigned to fully assemble / prep each vehicle shown that night.. for roughly two weeks they worked 20 hour shifts and slept 2 hours each night. Most teams were working on them right up until the cars rolled on stage; there was still wet paint on one. Also, it was said a "normal" workweek of 16 hours days isn't uncommon..

She can't wait for options to fully vest and gracefully exit. It's not for lack of thrill, growth, etc. – just that after 3-4 years it is heavily taxing and a pace of sanity is much desired."

Hey E, I've lurked on HN for how many years without posting? But felt compelled to give kudos to someone doing something that has been a pain point for folks like me doing tech startups in Africa - how to get paid.
I remember when we first started Topup Genie in 2009. We had to pay GTBank/Interswitch N150,000 of which we were able to get N75,000 waived just to begin to accept payments AND pay them a percentage of our income.
5 years ago in 2011, we built the payment piece of Topup Genie out as a service so other people didn't need to pay the N150,000 to integrate, but rather could just ride on ours for a flat N5 fee per transaction.

Just another example of modern video game consoles being exploited through an outdated Webkit browser version.

I suspect that this will be the last generation of consoles that will include a browser built in. I suspect no one is using these browsers much anyways, and they're such a massive target for exploits. The major security researchers aren't focusing on exploiting video game consoles, but their work in exploiting web browsers is being used by others.

That being said, I'm all for this kind of work being available. I like being able to run my own code on the devices I own. The exploit for 1.76 that has a kernel exploit allows for users to install Linux, which can also run SteamOS, which is amazing.

Does anyone have any numbers on the cost difference between standard vs flexible app engine usage?

Flexible environment supports any language/environment you want as long as you implement the HTTP endpoints it expects. I would be much more impressed if they brought Python3 to the standard environment which seems to be much more cost effective for many types of web apps. Flexible environment essentially requires you to run a VM all the time, which can get pricey, versus a much more managed sandboxed environment that can sleep and be awaken quickly as needed to serve requests. Also, Python 3.5 would be awesome to leverage asyncio, but that's probably still a bit too bleeding edge.
This is getting too complicated.

I'll say this - a life lived in service to other people feels more worthwhile to me. Perhaps one of the services is being honest, even brusque at points. Just not very often.

Actually solving problems for other people is mostly about framing the question underlying the problem. If they're not interested, then you're done with that problem.

"Service to other people" is not some grand/altruistic thing; it's simply a prioritization mechanism that helps remove some of your ego from the process.

Service does not mean being servile.

I don't see how this has anything to do with malformed HTML or lenient rendering rules. In the scenario you're describing, well-formed but malicious HTML could also escape sanitization.
Having worked at Google, (and numerous other places), the environment varies a great deal from team to team, but overall they treat their people extremely well.

At the other end of the spectrum, in my experience, are non-software companies (biotech, for example) who need software engineers, but think of them as "IT".
It should probably be a scatter plot instead of a line chart, since interpolating values between points here is not meaningful. If there were 0 deaths in 1990 and 100 in 1992, that doesn't necessarily mean there were 50 in 1990. Maybe a cumulative count would work better, normalized by total flyers per year.
I have a theory on the popularity of certain sports, and I think it could come down to whether the sport is clear on how performances are ranked.

Basically if it requires judges it will be limited in its mass market appeal.

Sports that require judges:

- Aren't going to appeal as much to men as a whole. Men like clear rules and clear outcomes. Boxing is probably the only popular sport that's often not clear - but it has knockouts and TKOs which help clarify.

- Will have a lot of off-putting or repetitive banter because you have to explain how the judges rate things that aren't obvious and sometimes make no sense. The judges and commentators can come across as snooty & pretentious too.

- Often leave a bad taste in your mouth if your perception of the winner is different.
This example is pretty heavy—I mean if you're talking about breaking someone of an addiction that is something far beyond the scope of how best to modulate ones behavior in the world. But it points to the real complexity of relationships.

Someone that always offers a harsh unvarnished and negative opinion on things usually gets a reputation as a jerk. Someone who is always trying to please everyone gets a reputation as a spineless brown-noser. In the real world, how you say something is often even more important than exactly what you say. If you are charming you can convince more people of more things, and political capital is a real thing that matters all the way down to individual relationships—you have to pick your battles. Throw in culture, sexism, racism, moods, and innumerable other contexts and things become very subtle.

That's what bothers me about these pop science articles: nothing is that simple. Maybe an article like this triggers you to evaluate yourself and say "hey, I do try to please others too much", but then again maybe you need the opposite advice. The bottom line is you have to gauge for yourself how your behavior is affecting relationships and whether you are getting what you want out of life.
> in one of the safest neighborhoods of DC

That neighborhood already had 7 killing this year (although that was down from 15 for the same period last year). It had 126 robberies in which a gun was used (up from 113). 195 robberies without a gun (up from 181).

> Nothing was taken off his person. No forensic evidence was left behind. Yet the police deemed it a "robbery gone wrong." How can anyone believe this was a robbery gone wrong?

Because it is common for robberies gone wrong to go the way this one did. Most robbers who use a gun have no intention of actually shooting their victim. Their intent is to intimidate the victim so that the victim will not fight back. Rich fought back and got shot. (And getting shot in the back is not unreasonable in those circumstance...if the victim at some point decides to try to get away instead of continuing fighting, the robber might easily fire a couple shots before they consciously realize the fight is over).

When a robbery goes bad like that, and the robber has shot someone, it is often the last thing on their mind to finish the robbery by taking items off the body (or in this case, the wounded, but still conscious victim...Rich died later, at the hospital). They wanted a simple robbery, which would not draw much attention. Now they've got possibly a homicide, and that will draw much more attention than a simple robbery. Every second lingering at the scene is a second that someone attracted by the gunshots might be aiming a camera in their direction, getting a photo of them at the scene.

It's not practical to make this a warning because of, e.g., dlsym (which is actually worse because void * and void (*)() aren't necessarily compatible types).

Another thing which makes this sort of thing difficult to warn in is the brokenness of autoconf. Autoconf checks that your system has memcpy (or anything that you check via AC_TRY_LINK) by compiling this program:

void memcpy();
int main() {
(void)memcpy();
}

This keeps cropping up and I keep wondering why. It's as though people who make this argument fail to consider the possibility that someone should be able to earn a living off the product of thought and effort - as though the only way to produce value out of intellectual effort should be by selling it for wages, and never by using it to invent new capital which is itself of value.

Oddly, it also seems like a lot of the time, people who advance such an argument seem also inclined to think it should, at the very least, be possible for workers to own the means of production. Are intellectual workers excepted? Is this contradiction just one that hasn't been noticed and given the consideration it deserves? Is there something about the workers, or the work, which makes the cases not parallel?

>This is undefined behavior, so you're claim that this is 'in C' is blatantly false.

Undefined behavior is undefined behavior FOR C. Undefined behavior makes no sense unless referring to a specific language.

Besides, people have been taking advantage of certain undefined behaviors in actual C programs since the dawn of time -- deliberately I mean.
> If your C compiler doesn't complain bitterly to you about an incompatible pointer type on that assignment, get a better C compiler.

The example code uses C style casts, which is C-speak for "fuck off compiler I know what I'm doing." I'd like to see what warnings your compiler produces. VS2015 /W4 /ANALYZE produces nothing, and neither do clang nor GCC from the looks of it.

That people C cast without knowing what they're doing is rather unfortunate tragedy. That this is a common enough problem, that the Win32 API is littered with backwards compatability hacks where someone C-casted away ABI differences turns it into a statistic.

> If you write this in production code, and don't get sent home that day in tears, your company's code review process has failed.

Assuming we're talking "well meaning newbie" instead of "sanity hating self-flagellating freak and/or undefined behavior worshiping cultist", I prefer to carefully explain that they've invoked undefined behavior, that undefined behavior leads to crunching to find optimizer induced heisenbugs in the weeks before we ship, and to impress upon them that this is why we never cast away even "trivial" and "minor" function pointer differences. And then, when they ask what the correct thing to do is, point out the API docs and header both have this little "WINAPI" annotation they can use. Hey! No more casts! Easier than the casts too. Win/win.

However, if we are talking about the "sanity hating self-flagellating freak and/or undefined behavior worshiping cultist", I can only recommend nuking the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. If their home isn't part of the radioactive crater, you didn't use large enough nukes, and your company's code review process has failed.
I think it depends on what type of API you'd like to design.

If you're talking about REST APIs, then the best book I've come across is RESTful Web APIs by Leonard Richardson and Mike Amundsen:

http://restfulwebapis.org/

It actually shows you how to do REST properly, not that shoddy knock-off REST that some people push, where you have to document all your URI structures and hard-code them in your clients. There's solid examples that you build upon throughout each chapter, and jumping off points to standardisation work like JSON-LD etc.
