What I found even worse in the job market is that the job requirements say CS Degree but the job description doesn't match.

I've ended up going to University to get a degree because I was being screened out of job applications before my experience counted for anything.
Ah, that makes sense. I remember them putting it in and then yanking it out for some reason.

Referencing counting seems to be in vogue these days because it is somewhat more predictable on mobile systems, at least this is what I heard about the Metro/Store/UWP API at Microsoft (C# is still garbage collected, but the APIs are primarily ref counted).
Ah, I see the problem. A lot of people here don't know what "overtime" means. "Not getting overtime" doesn't mean you aren't paid for your 9th hour, you're just paid it at your regular wage. "Getting overtime" means getting a higher hourly wage for hours over 8/40.
Thank you for your replies, they were most informative. I'd love to read your blog if you want add me on twitter and DM me, thanks!

right, something like a character walking down streets the way you would walk down a hallway in a top down game. Trouble with arrow navigation is how to interact with intersections, especially complicated ones - roundabouts, more than 3 exits, etc.
By public transportation: 45 minutes each way ± 10 for vehicle delays, since the system I use is inefficient. Good time to read and listen to podcasts, though.
Life After StrongLoop – A New Beginning with LunchBadger
In February of this year, I left StrongLoop. Want to know another little known fact? I was never part of IBM. That’s right - I never signed any IBM papers continuing post acquisition and remained the sole StrongLoop employee till the dissolution of our corporate entity.

Why? I didn’t agree with the direction - simply put. And from what I’ve seen so far, I would add “strongly” in front of “disagree”.

I was in a post acquisition mess. It got so bad that I even hired an attorney.

“You should write a book…”, my attorney said.

God forbid that he would ever be able to - being bound by client attorney privilege.

“It’s so sensational, everyone would think it’s fiction.”

Maybe...some day. The truth of the matter is dealing with acquisitions and transitions is not fun, even for a founder - especially when there is a lot riding on the line for your career choices. Unfortunately, it happens more often than not here in Silicon Valley.

On the brighter side, four years later - I learned a lot. Especially, from you my colleagues, who dared to dream of better software that really challenges the status quo and offers simple value by making the day to day life easier for all those who deal in technology.

What I took away from StrongLoop was an unanswered call to action - a challenge of sorts in the form of questions like…

- Can cloud software that solves hard problems still be easy to use?
- Digital transformation??? How about the rest of the us who are already born in the cloud and not worried about dinosaur concerns what do we use?
- How does the API economy, serverless, composable enterprises transform how we build the businesses of tomorrow?

Today, we launch LunchBadger- https://www.lunchbadger.com. We’re looking for some brave souls willing to indulge an attentive ear and open mind on what APIs could mean for a cloud native world.

Thanks for your time!
>But if you have a database of the entire population and can correlate relationships in data

That's exactly what the legislation constrains - Zuck's select * from where user_id = 'technofiend' returns 3 rows not hundreds or thousands, or zero if I've opted out of data collection entirely.

You can't simply throw your hands up and say "Well Facebook has a billion users too bad so sad if they collect data you don't like" because there are in fact plenty of laws elsewhere that restrict their activity. It's entirely possibly to tell them to keep their grubby hands of my bits and their cookies out of my browser. And yes if that means I have to pay for sites I use for free now, so be it. I can't help but think that'll drive content towards quality anyway.
Depending on traffic, anywhere from 30 - 50 minutes in the AM and 25 - 45 minutes PM (by car).
well the only real negative I see is that flexible schedules don't exist. there could be amply opportunity and employment options for 4x10; one group covers part of the week and another gets in 3x10. This would give all sides an advantage. So I don't agree with the eight hour value, I am more in to setting daily limits and overtime past certain periods measurable across a consecutive number of days

I remember one IT position where we did 4x10, that was awesome for free time (long weekends) and pushed us around normal commute windows
Nothing to do from the point of view of the headaches that brings to those of us that care about Java.

While I was very excited for FFOS and it's sad to see it go because I generally follow Mozilla endeavors.

I prefer my phone to be a phone and not a general purpose computer. The less complexity the less problems incurred. Few vendors are willing to put in the really hard optimization to make a lowend device work well.

The lowend target of FFOS was an additional concern because it meant the software had to be that much better.
Thanks. Gonna give it a try.

That's interesting, but from the copy on the page it seems to target micropayments for reading content published on websites. Which is an important and hard problem.

On the other hand, paying a dollar a month to use a service like email doesn't pose a technological problem. But since most services, unlike email, are walled gardens, I can't pay a provider to give me access to e.g. WhatsApp or Facebook without serving ads or collecting my data.

Ahhh, got it. When I hear "offline-first" my mind's been in webdev-mobile, not appstore-mobile. Thanks for clarifying!
Besides that doing `perl -e 'for (;;) {}'` and watching your OS burn down in flames (which it doesn't) is the correct parallel, I'll assume you have overlooked that we have no control on what JS does in whatever page we're presented with, and if it's some heavy handed code it has a significant impact on whatever else I may be doing on an unrelated tab, which feels like going back to plain old cooperative multitasking, upon which the above perl code would effectively be a blight.

Earth has also got a small bit of tidal movement of the crust, but not remotely as much as Io.

Because if you worked more than 8 hours before, you were still paid for the extra hours, just not overtime pay (1.5x the normal rate). Now, these workers won't be able to work those extra hours at all and it's unclear if they will be able to work additional shifts at other farms to make up the difference.

This is similar to how state-mandated benefits for workers working a certain number of hours just led to managers at places like Walmart cutting shifts so that workers work just under the threshold. The net result is that workers are often worse off since they don't make as much as they did before and they don't get the benefits.
That's... exactly his point ...

> But hell, you want to be able to print that photo on any old glossy paper you bought from someone, using a knock off cartridge, with any ink they shove into it. And it better come out looking like an Ansel Adams original, or damn it, HP screwed you as a consumer again!

This is largely because other printers exist that can make acceptable prints on any glossy paper, using a knock-off or modded cartridge, with any ink bought from eBay. I have seen it with my own eyes.

Also, in my scenario, Grandparent is too technically inclined, takes all the photos, color-corrects all of them in Lightroom, and makes the prints on acid-free paper, using an inkjet that was custom-modded to have huge, refillable external reservoirs of archival-quality pigments before Epson EcoTank was even a thing. He guarantees color stability for 100 years. His cost per print is less than using an HP printer with HP ink cartridges. And some of his art photos are better than Ansel Adams prints, in my opinion.

For the rest of us, who take crap photos, we just go online to upload, print, and ship from a photo printing business--like Shutterfly, to name just one.

Don't coddle your parents. Drag them kicking and screaming into the 21st century, and make them administer the family photo-sharing web page, so their brains won't rot in retirement, and so Facebook won't get their meathooks into everybody. If you aren't willing to make photo printing into a full-blown hobby and do it properly, with a decent printer, you are far better off just paying a professional to do it for you, with a proper industrial photo printer. Get yourself a monochrome laser printer with a refillable toner cartridge, or the toner cartridge separate from the drum, so you can print your coupons and boarding passes and tabletop RPG character sheets, or whatever, and let HP color inkjets vanish into the hell of their own making.
Maybe. With a large enough population for either the job-hunters or the employed, you should regress to the mean for the total population and the deviation should also be similar. This assumes a normal distribution for the metrics that you are hired for, something that may not be in fact true, ie. Poisson or exponential distributions are reasonable. What you can take away from this: Your own developers may not be as good as you think they are OR they may be much better, same for the candidates. That particular day you interviewed them they may have been exceptional or they may have been ill and they failed, or a million other reasons. I think Google came out a while ago and said that their initial hires had no correlation to the really successful people in the company after...5(?)... years. I can't find the citation, sorry. The interviewing process is known to be broken, so trying to extrapolate to say that the job-seekers are less good at these metrics than the employed is erroneous. I'm not saying you are wrong, just that using a binary decision like this to determine these things is wrong.
lol yeah! I would never commute from Barcelona like this guy, but just puts into perspective how fast can you be very far.

I once had to visit a customer a Friday and a Monday (so there was no big point on staying the whole weekend in a hotel), having to drive each day 5 hours each direction. That was without leaving the UK. Apparently this guy makes it quicker from Barcelona to Bracknell (not even London, which would take less time IMHO).

Disclaimer: I'm the Leaflet author and I also work on Mapbox GL.

It's true that Mapbox currently focuses its efforts on GL, but they are not "moving away from Leaflet" — Leaflet will continue to be supported as one of the first-class clients to be used with Mapbox services (and GL-based styles have a raster tiles fallback). Leaflet is very mature, has a huge community, is suited for most simple mapping needs, is very easy to learn, and doesn't require a lot of development effort from the Mapbox side to support.

Mapbox GL on the other hand represents a vector rendering technology, which is very different. It is much more powerful than conventional raster tile based clients, and enables applications never seen before in the online mapping industry, but it's also many times heavier, more complex, and much harder to learn. Rendering vector data on the client is something Mapbox bets on as the future of mapping, but it's incredibly challenging to build, so it requires a lot of focus.

I'll continue to maintain both libraries — while they have some overlap, there's a place for both.

It's a race to the bottom. NAFTA and now TPP will continue to screw over the little guy. I'm with you. IT jobs are being driven overseas or foreign replacements being brought in. The politicians and corporate leaders are crooks who care nothing about anyone or anything save bottom line and their own paycheck. It's ridiculous that in 1960, the average CEO made a little over 3 times what the average employee makes. Now? CEOs make 2-300 times the average employee. That's skewed beyond defense.

I'm toying with the idea of getting out of IT because the writing is on the wall. I'm also almost 50, so the fact that I'm still in the trenches is against me. I don't want to be in management. I like pure IT, but what with the "cloud", hiring of foreign IT workers to save a little money, you name it, the system is against me.

That noise like this gets a pass on here is simply remarkable, and diminishes the entire site. Aside from the tens of billions that Google has made, Android has literally kept huge organizations and tens of thousands of people employed for years. It has a scale of revenue and income that would be a dream for most other industries.

But on here it doesn't "really make any money". Christ. The ignorance.
Clearly the eccentricity is one key here, but I'm not sure that the acceleration difference is the right metric. The basic paper that pointed out the likelihood of volcanoes on Io is not that complex --

http://www.es.ucsc.edu/~pkoch/EART_206/09-0205/Peale%20et%20...

The key is equation (7), which gives the energy dissipated by a solid body due to its eccentric orbit. It's quadratic in eccentricity, but there are other key factors that would vary from Mercury to Io.

The paper above is remarkable. It's an amazing chain of basically armchair logic that leads to the likelihood of volcanism on Io.
>Have you considered that there might be people who don't fetishize cars like you do?

I feel like you might have this loaded as a sort of generic thing you say to people, but it doesn't apply here. I'm talking about the tradeoffs people make in general. Calling me a car fetishist is a non sequitur.
The cap is improving, though, to now almost $48k/year (below that you're entitled to OT, before it was in the $23k range). This won't change things for most of us with established careers, but will help new hires and people outside the major tech areas that can't get as a high a salary.

And another thing to consider: If you're negotiating your salary, you program in your lowest desired hourly rate. If you don't want to make less than $50/hour, and you expect many weeks at 50 hours/week instead of 40, set your pay to be > $2500/week. We're (in tech) often in a greater position to negotiate our salaries and benefits, we should exercise this.

What I mean is that a 3 stars restaurant is really never going to be "bad" by any measure. Michelin would kill their reputation if they gave out 3 stars to just any high-class restaurant.

On the other hand, there are games like BioShock Infinite which get widespread critic appraisal, while the game is obviously just a repetitive shooter with corridors and an obvious lack of any freedom. Sure, it has a storyline (whether you like it or not is a different topic) but a game should be rated primarily for how good it is in its interactive medium, not its novelization. I picked on Bioshock Infinite but it's certainly not limited to that one.
> You have to be really careful with SEO tests because some pages might get 100x the traffic of another page, so saying you split up 20,000 pages randomly isn't enough for a test like this.

Is this actually true? Shouldn't the fact you're choosing your pages from a very large set of pages negate this concern? Yes, you might have outliers, but your method of deriving significance should account for this.

Given that we don't know the specifics of the tests (this is a case study after all and we should expect details to be elided), I'm not sure it's fair to opine as you are on their quality. I would guess a company focused on this specific problem is both aware of and actively applying all the best practices you've mentioned.
Disney is a machine that monetizes fandom, and Twitter is pretty good about fan communities (modulo the conversation about abuse).

The conversation about whether twitter will be successful at streaming live content is interesting, but probably just one of those things that demonstrates whether or not they have _further_ growth potential into other spaces.

Twitter is already where lots of people go to talk about sporting events, news as it's happening, shared experiences like TV watching, and so on.

To the extent to which Disney can get access to users in the throes of emotion or facilitate deeper investment in their properties is probably useful for Disney on its face, even before anything more is built on top of or into twitter.
IIRC Google said that their interview scores didn't correlate with how successful people were in the company. But you have to remember that obviously they're only talking about people who made the cut, so people who had at least moderately high scores to begin with.

While you implicitly state this, the AI system is not wrong when it states that: Know(John,Phone(Bill)). The only problem stems from our human projection of what Know means. We assume that Know means to know it belongs to someone, while the system merely claim that John knows a number and that number belongs to Bill.

As you state, that meaning really maps to something like KnowBelongTo(John,Phone(Bill)), which doesn't become true when Phone(Mary) = Phone(Bill), as its definition would not be tied to Phone(X) but to BelongTo(X).
I just don't think Facebook sees $10-20B in value that it couldn't build itself. Facebook's been building real-time Twitter-like features into it's core product for a while now. They're features that the general public will actually see/use compared to Twitter's niche active userbase.

For Disney/Google, it's $10-20B in value that they CAN'T capture themselves and don't have the DNA to do so, so it's far more valuable for them at this price.

If Twitter were $5B, then I have no doubt Facebook would try to snap (no pun intended) them up.

It really isn't basically just describing what a noun is.

It's about the surprisingly subtle logical structure underlying how we use noun phrases; about qualifiers like "a", "some" and "the"; about a perhaps-surprising feature of language, namely that to the best way to explain what some term means may involve explaining how to rewrite whole sentences including that term in a different form.

I recently looked into buying one of these at a smaller (little bit shady) computer shop. The guy offered me an IPTV subscription package for $15 that contained tons of premium channels (HBO, NBA TV, etc) which in Canada would cost ~$60. The quality was very nice HD. The weird part was that it used some 3rd party 'emulator' app to run with a clipart icon. I wasn't sure if this was legal. Does anyone know more about this type of TV streaming?
Of course the performance claims only relate to Leaflet itself, not the server performance — Leaflet is server-agnostic (you can use it with any tile provider). The improvements will be noticeable in dynamic map apps with lots of vector data, markers, tooltips etc. on top of the map.
