The first one through a contracting agency/recruiter (aka pimp), namely Hays. The second one through my personal network. For that I am still going through a consulting company as a subcontractor, just because that was the quickest way to do it.

There are tons more pimps like Computer Futures and in Germany Gulp and Etengo. Just sign up on their website, upload your CV and expect to get spammed with every contract they have to fill.

Searching for them in GMail, I just noticed that many project descriptions are in German, even if the job itself only requires English. They are very formulaic so it shouldn't be too much of a problem if you don't speak German.

Here's an example of one in English:

It depends how quickly you get through the morning routine doesn't it? For example: If you work from home, you have no commute, you don't need to get dressed, etc. Roll out of bed, slug down some soylent, do some jumping jacks to get the body warmed up, and start catching up on yesterday. With that minimal morning routine, you could easily be in the zone within 1-2 hours.

There's no need to pull the proto file on every build. Proto also has a set of rules for how to maintain wire-compatibility across versions[1]. Following those rules and distributing the definition only when you need new fields should be sufficient.

That said; If you've got a set of shared proto definitions, you should probably either go to a monorepo, or share the shared bits with a git submodule. Doesn't prevent you from needing to follow those conventions, but does make it far easier to debug when things changed.

> What you're describing would basically require the scraper to hammer an invisible endpoint somewhere

That wasn't my point. My point was: a lot of a website's costs are hidden from a web scraper (e.g. database load), so a scraper can't claim, based on the variables they can observe (bandwidth), that they're costing the website less than normal traffic.

I was basically responding to statements like this:

> In fact, scrapers usually cause less impact because they usually don't download images or execute JavaScript.

There's really no way for a scraper to know that unless the website tells them. Their usage pattern is different than typical users and raw bandwidth (for stuff like static images) may not matter to the website.

Atlanta ranks 16th (which is pretty good), so if you were to decide to move, it would probably make sense to end up somewhere higher on the list.

But from what I understand the basis of the research is that it's wrong for us to use morals when judging perceived risk to a child. They base this on the fact that there's x% chance that a certain risk will happen to any child.

But that statistic is based on general population. My contention is that our moral judgement can be used to heighten perceived risk to a child, even though it might blow it well out of proportion. So just because the average child is at a perceived risk of being injured at x% when left alone, I don't think it's wrong to say a child of parent I judge to be amoral or willfully negligent is most likely at an increased risk of being injured.

Suburbs are the worst. I grew up in a small town and had pretty much free reign early, walking a mile home from school at 4th grade, do whatever in the summers, etc. My wife was driven from friend's house to friend's house and never was outside alone until she was 16 and could drive.

I'm not sure how much it's changed in small towns, but now I live in SF and notice that it is closer to small town behavior than the 'burbs. I routinely see 10 to 12 year old kids walking around in groups to school or taking the bus. They are rarely alone but aren't accompanied by an adult. It is much different than my childhood, but they seem to have good sense of independence which seems way better than a car-based childhood in the suburbs.

It's a good indicator of your management style that you won't even publically forward your opinion without a throwaway.

Nobody wants to work for a coward.
If you believe you are hiring him for that reason, then I see why you felt the need to use a throwaway.

You're buying his time and experience for agreed upon hours. You don't have the ability to make him put your work ahead of his anymore than you have the ability to make him put your work ahead of his family, personal life, education or retirement savings.

In discussions like this I tend to fall on sympathizing with employers because until you've taken the risk, hired and managed people you don't fully appreciate just how hard it is or how difficult it is to keep people happy.

What you're describing is closer to buying his life - which would be an understandable arrangement from a business partner but not an everyday employee.

The article explicitly states that mothers (who have children) judge other mothers more harshly than everyone else. In fact, the ranking of most likely to overestimate risk to least likely is:

1. Mothers
2. Childless women
3. Fathers
4. Childless men

In other words, the ones who know the most about child rearing (in our culture, that is mothers), are the worst at assessing risk.
I judge parents that deny their children their childhood by "protecting" them from perceived but unreal risks.

Or how about actually using the augmented reality (AR) portion of the game in a way that isn't just a gimmick: Make it so I can pan around my area with the camera to see where the Pokémon are (or at least provide a "rustling leaves" styled hint if you're looking in that direction). That'd be a great use of AR and would make the game more fun than staring down at a map all day.

There can be legitimate traffic coming from AWS, if not the site itself.

It's especially true when the site provides an API and is meant to be integrated by people/companies. In which case, the AWS traffic is likely to include major and/or important and/or paying customers. You really don't want to block that.

On the other hand, Tor is likely to be 90% evil. When in doubt, just block it. (That makes me think, I should run some proper stats and maybe publish a blog post about that. )

Yes, but the parent's intent is indicative of their general lifestyle and choices. The point I'm trying to make is that our moral judgements of that intent, while likely being well overinflated, does give us reason to believe that that person's child is at a higher risk when left alone in the environment the parents have given them as compared to the general statistic of perceived risk given to the average child.

> we suddenly realized it is painfully slow, 'uses the proof-of-concept DOM' and whatnot

Err, no, you've misread that. html5ever serializes into an arbitrary datastructure, provided by the program using html5ever. It also ships with its own datastructure to serialize into for testing purposes (the "proof-of-concept DOM"), which Servo does not use. It's therefore not a benchmark of html5ever as used in Servo.

More reasonable would be benchmarking Firefox's HTML parsing as it stands in Firefox against Servo's HTML parsing, from text to a fully built up DOM as usable by the rest of the browser in both cases.

On the other hand, in some rendering benchmarks (once the DOM has loaded and the page is actually rendering), Servo is much, much faster than other browsers[0].

Yeah, it's a bummer dealing with backwards compatibility. Don't get me started on guava Optional vs JDK8 Optional.

But at least you can stick to just using Optional and no nulls in new code you write, and only using nullables to communicate with existing libraries.
> As an employer I am paying you to put my work ahead of yours.

While I'm at the office. You want me to dedicate my entire life to your business instead of mine, that costs more than you can afford.
> Developers will very intuitively see the bass class as the one that handles the most common cases, and subclasses as the exceptions that "override" and vary things a little bit.

This intuition is wrong. Java-style classes don't handle the cases you think they handle. In particular, you don't have any guarantees at all about the meaning of non-final methods, precisely because they can be overridden by subclasses anytime! They're as good as abstract, and the implementation provided is “for reference purposes only”.

If you need stronger guarantees than that, then you must redefine the relationship between subclasses and subtypes as follows:

(0) A subclass that mutates inherited fields isn't a subtype of its superclass.

(1) A subclass that overrides inherited non-abstract methods isn't a subtype of its superclass.

But the result would be a different programming language, not the Java/C#/whatever you have today.

> My favorite example is the Doctor that can see all patients, and the Pediatrician that sees only children.

Then either (0) it isn't true that a Doctor can see all patients, or (1) Pediatrician isn't a subtype of Doctor. If you want your types to model real life, you have to go for the former.

Contravariance of function arguments is intuitively obvious. I have no idea why anyone would struggle with it.
> According to your definition, is there any language that doesn't have undefined behavior? After all, even the hardware can have flaws and undefined behavior, so to mix metaphors, it's all a house of cards built upon sand.

That's correct, and it's not pedantic to point that out. It proves that undefined behavior is not a useful criteria for choosing which language to use.

But even if we accept your more restricted definition of what constitutes undefined behavior, we still must accept that any language that is implemented in C could possibly exhibit any of C's undefined behavior. Therefore, writing a Python library in Python instead of C cannot help you avoid C's undefined behavior. It might prevent you from introducing more undefined behavior, but that's not the same as avoiding it entirely -- if the implementation is written in C, then that ship has sailed.
That level of concern is a bit ridiculous for a 10 year old. I was riding my bike all over by myself at that point. Crossing the street with indirect supervision is something I'd trust a 6 year old with.

Now maybe I had a charmed childhood, but I'm in my mid twenties, so it's not like I'm talking about growing up in the 50's here. My parents are older though, they did grow up in the 50s, and I I know they view independence as an important individual trait. I'm sure overprotective parents are not a recent phenomenon. One of my (younger) brother's friends was accompanied to and from school by his mother well in to High School. Walk, drive, riding a bike, you name it, she was there.

My mom asked her about this once, and she was like "Oh, [Declanomous's Mother], you have [Declanomous] and [Son #2]. I just have [her son]. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to him." My mom thought this point was kind of ridiculous, because it's not as if one child is a backup for another child. She just let my brother and I run around because she wanted us to learn to do things on our own.

Personally I think the current environment vis-a-vis child rearing reflects a larger trend towards fear in overall society. Part of this is a result of a larger focus on danger in childhood development, but I feel like a whole culture around existential fear really developed after 9/11. It seems like we started viewing the entire world as dangerous, rather than being ripe for exploration. I feel like this is really noticeable when watching media from different eras. Popular TV shows before 9/11 were Seinfeld, Friends, and Fraiser. After 9/11 shows like CSI, 24, etc. became very popular.

I could be completely wrong. I know shows like Law and Order and ER were very popular before 9/11. I recall them being less existentially terrifying though. This could just be because I was very young at the time though.
In my experience, most do.

In Japan it's even common to expect an employee to move in a weeks notice for up to a year at a time.

I'm not sure how your parent even jumped to talking about "political correctness" in the first place, since that's not at all what the article meant by "right" thoughts and feelings.

But you're spot on. It's difficult to unlearn something that you never knew you were learning in the first place, because you just take it as fact or how the world is.

Confronting your own biases is uncomfortable, but it's well worth it, for it makes you a better person and helps you interact with the world in a more positive way. Besides, having your worldview shaken up and challenged is good for you; that's the best way to learn.

what about: "Showing up" to your emotions
Haha one of my only memories of kindergarten was one naptime my cot was next to a wall receptacle without a cover. My perception from this great temporal remove is that the shock was much less severe than others I've experienced since, perhaps because the fabric cot insulated me somewhat. [EDIT:] I've sometimes wondered how many other children were shocked by that particular outlet, given that there were fifty children in my class. Presumably most of us were only shocked once...

Let's go with a more apt analogy:

If you're entering a country, do its laws not apply to you until you've seen a copy of them? "Oh, sorry, no one told me theft is illegal here. Where does it say that? Oh, I see. Okay. I'll stop now. Thanks for letting me know."

If you cross the border without necessary documents, does that country have no right to detain you, simply because you haven't checked the laws?

Just because a website is visible and public doesn't mean its content is public domain. It just means that your first order of business as a user should be to check the terms of service. Sure, most people using a website probably don't need to--same as not needing to check a country's stance on murder--and so can just use the website as intended without violating the terms. But when you plan on using it in a way that might not be intended, and you don't check the terms of service, well, that's on you.
Keep in mind I said "worthwhile". :)

I wouldn't tell anyone how to value their time, but I certainly wouldn't tolerate an employer telling me what I could focus on during off-hours.
It's true that there's no way to know that for sure, but it doesn't make sense that a scraper, by virtue of its being a scraper, is incurring additional load. A scraper is only making requests that a person with a desktop browser or any other appliance that speaks HTTP could make. What's the difference between a user clicking the same button on the page 50 times or holding down F5 and a scraper that pings a page once a minute?

Your argument is basically boiling down to "scrapers could hit one load-heavy endpoint too fast", but so could desktop browsers. So I don't see what it has to do with scraping.
