Work gets done comfortable fast, but I wonder whether I should try and force myself to learn how to touch type properly. I tried giving it a shot for a while and if I choose to commit to it I can see myself having to go through lots of frustration due to slowness and clunkyness as my hands re-learn how to type.

Yes. If you don't do it now, you might not do it at all. Old habits are hard to break.

Here's a data point: https://blog.codinghorror.com/we-are-typists-first-programme...

So if you can do http://www.typeonline.co.uk/typingspeed.php and get ~84wpm, you're at least as good as Jeff Atwood. But rather than compare yourself to others, it might be more helpful to ask yourself what your goals are.

I guess I feel strongly on this because of how revelatory and interesting the process of learning Vim was. It was sort of like re-discovering typing, and took a week of solid commitment (during which I got hardly anything done). But it'd be kind of silly to say that any of this stuff matters, per se. If you can enter text and you're comfortable with your speed, the only question that would seem to matter is: do you want to do it?
Err.. no.

Firstly, the copyright of the pictures is almost always likely to reside with the person taking the pictures who is often the one sharing them.

Secondly, in many/most jurisdictions many/most forms of copyright violation fall under civil, not criminal law. However, this is a criminal act and the penalty should be much higher.
So it's purely a transparency issue?

He's not supposed to have done anything tangible, at least as far as anyone has shown to be the case. Just some vague handwaving in his direction.

There's speculation he's sometimes a bit grumpy and curt, made some jokes about people not wanting to use weak maps and promiscuity in respect of internet connected devices which could be at the root of this, but you'd have to be professionally offended to find issue there.

Ultimately these days it seems there are people who go looking for reasons to be offended, or be offended on behalf of others. Naturally, they find what they're looking for. It's a shame this has affected people who just want to discuss technology without prejudice, even if they are javascript developers.
"we", what's your scope there.

Most people would consider it a moral wrong I'd warrant. It's like not a crime only by virtue of being a relatively new thing, and other mitigations like it being difficult to police (is there a point in making crimes you don't police and can't prosecute under).
Who said anything about "sending" pictures? I think you've confused this with sexting.

Your girl/boyfriend takes a photo of you nude. Then they post it online without your consent. Are you okay with this?

TIL that Espressif (the manufacturer of the ESP8266 and ESP32) hired the guy behind http://spritesmods.com/. That's a very promising sign that they plan to keep their hobbyist/hacker user base in mind.
I tried it the other month, it works fine with Arduino.
Put it inside the down tube. These usually have holes for mounting bottle holders, so you could pass the charging wires through the holes, disguised as part of the bottle holder mounts. And you'd have to remove the bottom bracket to get it out, which is slow and inconvenient.
Wow Luminati is expensive but sounds like a very premium platform for on-demand proxies. Are they running this in a shady manner where a P2P application is also serving as a web proxy for Luminati?
Well, abuse then.
>will write many paragraphs suggesting that science has established white people are smarter than black people (but maybe that shouldn't matter to us so much!) in his post announcing his talk

I don't think he did this? Do you have a link? The only post I can find of his that discuss race and the conference, is in response to the the accusations of racism and what it means for the conference. In which case it is perfectly fair for him to discuss the two, since that is what the whole issue was about.
Show HN: Neuron – Use textual data in the way you see most fit
When I started as a developer, I didn't care who I talked to if I thought they could contribute something interesting. I wouldn't care what religion, gender or country they were from - I was just interested in learning.

I recently stopped going to tech conferences. I don't want to go to gender/sexuality/religion/you name it-equality conferences and it seems like thats the main topic in all tech conferences these days.

Can someone bring back the technical discussions and throw out the bullies?

the iPhone was not a new idea, though it was quite an evolutionary leap.
joking now, twenty years or less from now we might not be so sure. when everything is water marked so it can be tracked computers will have an easier time of sorting it out.
Even C++ has the solution to that - separate namespaces and classes. Allow standalone functions.

namespace Utils {
void setIfNotNull(const Supplier& getter, const Consumer& setter) {
...
}
}

....

using namespace Utils;
setIfNotNull(...);
If they are suffering from PTSD and reliving previous issues the solution is not removing the triggering stimulus and attacking the person who is causing the stimulus, but being gradually exposed to it in a safe environment.

“site:paypal-gifts.com Here's Your Gift Card”
Yes. This.

One thing you learn the good way or the hard way when you start to run companies is that any email should be considered part of a public audit trail, regardless of whatever unenforceable boiler-plate .sig text the legal beagles insist is appended. It can all end up in the public record as part of court evidence, or from man-in-the-middle capture, or Snowden-style whistle-blowing...or invent your own scenario.

In this case, the auditor was asking the poster to do something rather illegal, and certainly extremely unwise, to the point of compromising both the poster's career and his employer's business. Given those points, I'd say that publishing the emails constitutes fair self-defence, and the auditor - to put it bluntly - is very lucky that the poster was too professional to name and shame both himself and his company.
How do you define "violence" ? According to [0] I would have thought that sharing intimate pictures could very well be psychologically harmful and therefore would be a form of abuse. While I'm not sure what the legal definition of violence is (different per country I imagine) I'd imagine that abuse is a kind of violence.

Besides anything else, surely a basic moral compass suggests this is wrong, and on a different part of the spectrum to "copyright infringement"

As someone who isn’t familiar with functional programming at all or too familiar with Java, where do I start?
>It was Wrights who figured out that curved wings can produce enough power to lift the aircraft. (sytelus, above) //

Or maybe not?

>“In his Codex on the Flight of Birds, da Vinci discusses the relationship between the centre of gravity and the centre of lifting pressure on a bird’s wing. He explains the behaviour of birds as they ascend against the wind, foreshadowing the modern concept of a stall,” says Jakab. “He demonstrates a rudimentary understanding of the relationship between a curved wing section and lift. He grasps the concept of air as a fluid, a foundation of the science of aerodynamics. Leonardo makes insightful observations of gliding flight by birds and the way in which they balance themselves with their wings and tail, just as the Wright brothers would do as they evolved their first aeronautical designs."

Article focuses on senior citizens. But loneliness is far from only senior people problem. More and more young and middle age men and women are lonely in western world. Maybe this will be a step towards trying to do something about young people loneliness too, as lonely young people have even worse impact on society than lonely old people.
I believe that you're joking, but essentially the same concept -- the idea that someone's public-facing behavior is evidence of what they've consented to in private -- is sadly, disturbingly prevalent in sexual assault cases.
Doesn't macos have vim then?
I am not. This seems to be what .net core does, according to the article.

How can I improve attention to detail and reduce oversights?
I'm working as software developer for 3 years now and consider myself a good and fast programmer.
But I'm prone to a certain class of mistakes:
- copy-paste errors (e.g.: leaving wrong stuff in)
- typos
- oversights

Nearly all my mistakes are fixed with changing one line of code, but still can have a huge impact. By now my colleague calls this kind of mistakes typical for me.
I mostly work in Erlang and think that a stronger typ checker would definitely catch some of my mistakes. None the less I want to improve on this, because I consider it my biggest flaw.

Currently I'm thinking about not reusing code snippets and rather write everything anew, so that I can't make copy-paste errors.
We're talking about pretty major things like new features for Autopilot, and performance enhancement from better battery/motor management.
> There is no question that our community too often can feel hostile to those who aren't white hetero men.

Why this assumption? All the information about programming is on websites that are accessible to everyone independently on their gender and race. I've witnessed very inclusive initiatives by most people, white or not. If we mostly get white males, does it make our websites racist? Is StackOverflow, Eclipse, SublimeText or Chrome racist? Is selling software online only available to white people?

I'd argue if we mostly get white males, it's a coincidence. Most people I talk with about a well-paying, international, career in IT tell me "I could never do that, it's too nerdy". Maybe they didn't have the support by their parents, maybe they didn't have enough Legos when they were children, maybe they identify as girls-who-don't-belong-in-front-of-a-computer. Say what you want, programming is hard and proportions don't make us guilty by default: Other people just chose not to do it.

Also, I've personally tried. I've brought my goddaughter into fablabs, industries, research centers, showed her Mythbusters, bought her a cubic meter of Legos, talked with passion about science in general, it cost me hundreds. She still identifies as a prince-charming girl. My sister on the other hand got into engineering, and she regrets having made this choice "based on people who told her they need more women in engineering", "because she would have preferred organizing cultural events". I've also taught a 15-year-old arabic immigrant person on how to program. He touched said goddaughter sexually.

Proportions don't make white males guilty. Programming was welcoming to diversity until diversity media made it a minefield. People just rarely had a preference for programming.
Is it possible to import my Postman collections ?
The Einstein problem
Yes.

By learning to touch type you can keep your eyes focused on what you're writing rather than split between the screen and keyboard. I learned to touch type in my mid twenties. A friend convinced me of the benefits. He swore that I would lose productivity for only a couple of weeks. He was right. For the first 2-3 weeks I could not type as fast and had to force myself to not revert to my old ways. Which was really hard. But it paid off. Now I type and never look at the keyboard, staying fully focused on the code/text I'm producing. Highly recommend it.
Well fair enough. But given they dont actually advertise in the traditional sense, I dont see how the comment above can argue that they are 'aiming for a bigger market' than Mercedes flipping Benz.
There's such a thing as "Psychological violence". Violence is not just punches and kicks.

In fact pshycial force is only one of several definitions of violence in the dictionary ("rough or injurious physical force, action, or treatment") which also includes things such as: "roughly or immoderately vehement or ardent" and "intense in force, effect, etc.; severe; extreme" for "violence".
Funny how businesses always bemoan a lack of skilled workers like it is something they have no control over?
You can preorder an ESP32 module(with 4MB flash) from SeeedStudio[1] right now.

I spent 30 mins reading about this chip and I still don't get it. I get why the ESP8266 was awesome ... MCU + wifi for super cheap. Why is this chip so exciting? Is it because it is supposed to be wifi+ARM (an ARM good enough to emulate a sega mastersystem game as per a youtube video)+other goodies? I saw rumors of other goodies being BLE. Is that confirmed or was that hot air :)
What? This is not a simple copyright violation this is a sexual violation. I don't want to see someone go to jail for uploading a movie, fines are a sufficient punishment. But if you expose someone online like this you're not reducing their profits you're deeply injuring a person that once trusted you. There is little hope of ever removing a photo like this once in the public internet, these women need all the protection the law can give.
Presidential Websites: Trump V Clinton Who Wins?
The whole situation is just ridiculous. SJW's have well and truly infiltrated the Javascript community. The Paul Straw linked post really highlights how silly this situation is. A few comments taken completely out of context and because some people took them the wrong way, things spiralled out of control.

I personally am not a fan of Douglas Crockford, but my views of him personally don't override the fact that he did nothing wrong in this situation. He should not have been un-invited to the conference. Their loss, Crockford is a smart guy and a huge drawcard for an event like this. Now we get to listen to a bunch of twenty-somethings talk to us about a language that Crockford was pioneering when they were still in school.
How to Steal Any Developer’s Local Database – Flow.ci Weekly Mashup 10
Thats true. But given that they dont pay for traditional advertising, I'm not sure why you are saying that they are aiming for a bigger market than Mercedes Benz. Do you think more people of the appropriate income bracket have heard of Mercedes Benz, or Tesla?
Rubbish. Copyright rests with the photographer. That's going to be the person uploading, not the person in the photo. In the case of an abusive relationship consent to be photographed probably doesn't exist either (and is not relevant for copyright as I understand)

In the case of photos of two or more copyright becomes even more inappropriate.

Given some of the news pieces about revenge porn, from both sides of the Atlantic, this seems a very sensible addition.
Can't forget the left hand vegan aesthists as well. I hope they're being represented at this conference as well.
I believe you can achieve the same in Java by static import.

EDIT: Also, I think the parent comment was not complaining about the missing possibility of creating standalone functions, but rather saying that not every functionality can be forced into objects, i.e. there is still need of standalone functions in OOP.
It's emotional violence. It's effectively a sexual assault by voyeurism that can be re-committed each time the image is viewed and amplified each time it's passed around. In the typical case of an image being passed around a school, the victim feels sexually assaulted by literally everyone they know, and may face sexist administrative consequences as well, and often dies by suicide.

I honestly find it disturbing you don't see that or don't care.
It looks like it still only has 2.4GHz wifi. Is there a reason?
It's not uncommon for apps to need dynamically named mutexes.
Besides the points other people made, I would also like to add that the copyright of a photo belongs to the photographer, not the model. That's why there are laws protecting a model's rights and protecting people's privacy in addition to copyright.
You dont need to pay for Ludicrous mode for the Tesla to be quicker than the Merc. I think a vanilla 90D (without the P) is sufficient.
I missed a key link ... this explains it: https://www.seeedstudio.com/ESP3212-Wifi-Bluetooth-Combo-Mod...
Disclaimer: I haven't been following this particular case and thus don't know the details or have any opinion.

So let's just say "I think it's not particularly reasonable for a tech conference to put anything besides tech to be top priority" is an understatement for me.

That being said I do disagree with this statement. Conferences are, at least for me, never primarily about learning about the latest hard core technical topics. They're about meeting and talking to people in my field who share my technical interests, sharing ideas and getting inspiration and talking hard problems over beers in the evening. They're as much, if not more, about the social as they are the purely technical. And even when it comes to presentations I'll take a fun and inspiring talk showing a novel take on something 'trivial' over someone reading their latest paper out loud while staring at their feet, no matter what the technical merits of that paper might be.
The book "The Lonely American: Drifting Apart in the Twenty-first Century" by Jacqueline Olds explores this topic at length. I recommend it to anyone interested in a thorough (and at times, heart-wrenching) treatment of the topic.
There's also one in The Netherlands, "CyberBunker". They have an interesting history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyberBunker
Is all revenge porn barred under the law or are there circumstances to take into account? If your longtime spouse cheats on you, turns your world upside, and further abandons you, is not revenge porn some people's last power they have to (equally immorally) strike back?
mitigating responsibility
Yes it has become fashionable of late to blame a lot of discordant behaviour on "mental illness". SJW' are mentally ill by that definition sure :-) But I think the vast majority of it can be adequately explained by plain old fashioned arsehollery and dickiness. Also I also strongly suspect that their ranks contain a fair number of highly motivated and successful situation trolls. The last group deserve our respect and admiration.
Perhaps it's time for law makers to think about going after those who profit by hosting these images? I'd much rather see resources spent taking these guys down, over going after the likes of Mega.
“This buildpack will cease to function at midnight on January 1, 2017”
My understanding - one person publicly asked he be removed due to the fact they did not like working with him due to personality conflicts (and implied others felt the same)

So he was.

The organizers seem to have feared the CoC, it's seems like a cargo cult reaction where they were out of their depths.
This might lead to duopoly in the market for hardware machine learning chips with Intel and Nvidia competing-with/acquiring new players. This could ultimately stifle innovation like it happened with EDA companies - Synopsys and Cadence.
ESP3212 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Combo Module with 4MB Flash
Hopefully, Nodevember will implode, and serve as an example to other organizations.

The growing power of the hateful, vicious SJW cry-bullies will only be checked when caving to them becomes more costly than not caving to them.

I hope Nodevember's corporate sponsors are flooded with complaints and boycotts over Nodevember's cowardly and shabby treatment of Crockford. Next year there will be few if any takers.

I hope Nodevember's 2016 speakers will be subject to pressure to withdraw over Nodevember's actions.

The potential downside of associating with Nodevember needs to be made far greater than any potential upside.

These demented SJWs will take over the world if no one stands up to them.
The law doesn't any more allow "justified" revenge porn than it allows "justified" duelling. You will go to jail.
That wasn't the question:

> What I really want to know is what the adoption rate of Ubuntu Touch is among the hacker/hobbyist/diehard Linux crowd.

It's not at all about selling one's services or gaining income from "apps". It's about gauging if there's enough (community) momentum that at least for this group of people, UT could turn out to be an interesting alternative.
Wow, so ESP32 has much more ROM/Flash and RAM memory than previous ESP8266 chip:

"Embedded Memory
–
448 KB Internal ROM
–
520 KB Internal SRAM
–
8 KB RTC FAST Memory
–
8 KB RTC SLOW Memory"
ARM now arm-in-arm with SoftBank as Japan’s Brexit demands loom
It looks like the generics used to be there but have been removed. Because there is one generic type 'T' left in the implementation of ClassUtils.setIfNotNull.

So about this setIfNotNull: I don't understand why this method is used in updateEntity. To me it seems the accountType property in the dto can be set with whatever is in the entity, null or not null.
And of course, Java 8 has introduced the Optional class as a better way of dealing with null values, so why bother writing a workaround at all?
Haldeman has said on many occasions (like nearly every interview with him) that The Forever War was absolutely not a response to Starship Troopers. He oughtta know, right?

I strongly support the recommendation to read both of them, though.
Yes, there will be :)
Modern society and the law, seeing women as particularly vulnerable and in need of protection, recognize forms of violence against women that need not involve physical contact or threat of physical contact. Calling a woman a "bitch" can, in some cases, be considered violence against her because it is implicitly threatening.
Managing Parallel, Part 1
I don't know if the law should be written to allow people to "strike back". Self defence is one thing but revenge is not a good justification. If you allow revenge for one action where do you
draw the line? After generations everyone would have cause to "strike back" at someone.
As an author of the ARC. I'm considering using electron and move to native apps and discontinuing Chrome integration. But right now I'm not focusing on it. At the end of last year when I started moving the old app to new packaged apps platform I already knew that some changes are necessary and I started to modularize the app into web components (using Polymer framework) to be able to relatively fast move to another platforms with minimal change in the code. So UI components are using web only features, app logic only javascript and non-chrome related APIs and finally Chrome related components that can be easily replaced by other platform's implementation. So eventually (this is ongoing task) I'll be able to move pretty much any web environment.
