I was recently in the market for a label printer. Dymo is the leader on this kind of products and as I was about to buy one I read this review

https://www.amazon.com/review/R2VG8JOAJDWJ0E/ref=cm_cr_dp_ti...

as well as many like it, that explain how the printer will only accept original, overpriced Dymo labels.

I bought a Brother QL-700 instead, with ordinary labels that cost 1/5 of the price of the Dymo ones, and couldn't be happier.

Let's hope those practices hurt the businesses instead of helping their bottom line, that's the only way we will get rid of them.
As said, no individual movie should be criticized based on it.

It is however very relevant when half of all movies have no real female characters in it, while something like 95% do have strong male characters in them. It's really sad when disneys "Frozen" becomes the positive outlier.
Yes, but instead of making it a whole new service, you are probably already using a database and can use that service for this functionality as well.

But since asking the question I've realized that if your application already needs a huge amount of servers because it simply gets that much traffic, then putting something like this in its own docker instance is probably the simplest way (it might even use postgres inside it), if those boundaries change now and then.

But most companies aren't near that scale.
Nebulis: An IPFS domain name system built on Ethereum
I live in a house with a lawn. I don't like maintaining it, but I'm required to. I looked into the cost of having it done by a legitimate service, and found that the least I could pay is about $100 to have it serviced twice a month. That's not worth it to me, so I continued maintaining it myself, begrudgingly. Then I heard around the neighborhood that there's a guy who will touch it up every weekend for $50 a month.

Miguel does a really good job. I didn't know my hedges could look this good. I didn't know the rosebushes were supposed to be cut at a 45 degree angle.

The way I see it, everyone is better off here. I don't have to mow the lawn anymore. Miguel is better off than he was in Mexico. My $50 is going to the real economy instead of sitting in some account inflating the price of some shitty bond. This transaction is raising global GDP, improving global unemployment, creating consumer surplus, lowering the global Gini coefficient, and raising everyone's utility. What's the problem?
>> Any negative effect the lack of privacy has on stable democracies seems small and rather speculative in the first place.

>How do you know that?

I don't claim to know anything with any certainty. That's why I used the word "seems". You are the one who is making extraordinary claims based on extremely thin evidence. You are claiming with great certainty that giving up any private data to advertisers makes democracy fall apart, and yet you are unable to point to a single stable democracy that has fallen apart for that reason. Your sample size is zero.

>I believe that for what I think are good reasons, which can be examined for their logical consistency and for consistency with reality/evidence.

I have examined your reasons, and even though I can follow you on many individual details, I find your main conclusion contrived, exaggerated and inconsistent with the thin evidence we have. You are overstating your case.

This is a very common way in which predictions of doom tend to go wrong. Take one aspect, follow it to extreme conclusions as if there were no other variables or counter forces or reactions to what is happening. This isn't logic or consistency.

And this lack of a good model starts where we haven't even discussed what privacy or private data is in the first place. It's definitely not one thing that you can switch either on or off. We always have to trust someone with some of our data. Much of our "private" data isn't ours exclusively as it may be about interactions with others. The data we give up to advertisers isn't used exclusivly for advertising either. It's also used to provide some of the services we want (like search or spam filtering).

"Ban it all!" is neither proportionate nor even possible.

And even if I did follow your argument that giving up any privacy at all makes democracy fall apart, I see no alternatives to advertising that are better for privacy.

Just look at the numbers involved and you will quickly find that funding everything like Tor or a few IRC channels is impossible. Donations, self-funding and sponsorship involve payment and are subject to extremely detailed surveillance. There is nothing more heavily regulated and traced than payment and you can be absolutely sure that governments will never allow large anonymous money flows because everything that could fund something like a Google data center could also fund organized crime and terrorism.

That said, I also see a lot of negatives in the excessive and brazen behavior of the ad industry, and I also think there is a need for regulation. A better regulated ad model is our best shot at more privacy and fewer negative externalities.
>> They rolled this out because it's basically impossible for an unknown developer to get noticed anymore on there.

Lol This is what will happen in reality an unknown developer starts trending with the next Meerkat, only for a Twitter to push 10M$ worth of Ads for its Periscope (Development cost 5M$ ~ half the marketing budget) on App Store and bury the "unknown developer"

Think about it this way, All app installs must go through the app store, and by introducing ads at the second last stage, the entire "word of mouth" funnel is now under threat. So unless the the user has a "direct deep link" (E.g. via the app website, or ahem FB Ads) to the app store page, That user is much more likely to be lost to a competitor.

To expand my example: Earlier someone would have their friend mention "Meerkat", leading them to search for Meerkat and they would be guaranteed to find Meerkat un-distracted by any other well funded competitor. Now Apple has essentially exploited its "Walled garden" monopoly on installs, by introducing Ads in the second last steps used in 65% of cases.

If you think this is a "good thing" for developers you are gravely mistaken and iOS devs are being taken for a ride.

Oddly I've noticed many of them are poor renters who have snagged a rent-controlled place, and it's "up yours" to those behind them in line.
I'm picky. For me that's an intermediate developer. What I want to see in a senior developer is that they make everybody else on the team more effective.

As I've gotten older, I've started to appreciate how much farther a good developer can go rather than just these things. I think the kinds of things you talk about are things that most people can accomplish in 5-10 years. But how do you differentiate between that and someone with 20-30 years of experience?

Because the industry has been expanding so fast, we have perpetually been in the situation where most programmers are younger. But I don't think it will be too long before you will see half your team having 20 years of experience. If you ask yourself, "How am I going to improve after I've worked 5-10 years" and "How much better can you get" I think it is instructive.

My experience has been that you can get a lot better, but that it's very hard to see the difference from the perspective of being a junior or intermediate developer.
Like most metaphors, this one is likely to be easily misunderstood or at worst, taken for granted. That a potent message is delivered in a long narrative worthy of careful, contemplative reading, might make many miss the nuggets within (if not abandon this all-together).

That we are part of the enigma we are hoping to master makes things the more cloudy - is total abstraction possible?

The article is a huge open question too. Nice reading, very startling too. I did get inspired to try an idea or two... perhaps to add to an already increasing plethora of tweaks to our cloudy reality. It's in our nature too.
It appears worth noting to the people arguing for functional programming over OO in response to this, that this is about toxicity within the team and maturity of the developer. Not programming style in so much as I can read.

It should also be mentioned that responses similar to the examples have approx. no substance, detract from the quality of the conversation, provides no value to the team, and will likely only decrease mutual trust and respect.

To me the senior title should be applied depending on the way you approach your role and not how you code.

As others have mentioned as a senior you can be left to implement changes without guidance, you will clean up issues as you come across them instead of leaving it to others, you suggest improvements, you make time to mentor and guide more junior members of the team, you know how to relate to muggles and you act like a team captain.

Knowing lots of different hosting environments and languages comes with experience. The approach you take to your role show's your all rounded skill set.
It depends on the organization.
"View through" conversions are quite a large area, especially in programmatic. MTA is an important field, but would obviously need to be implemented with some form of in-app tracking tied to your ad providers.
In my experience, you can tell someone is ready for a senior developer role when they write good documentation without being asked. That shows that they understand their code, that they can explain what's happening, and they appreciate to requirement to communicate things to the rest of the team.

This is bad for everyone except Apples revenue and already rich app-makers.

First off, it's bad for the end user since app quality has nothing to do with the amount spent on advertising. It is also bad for indie developers since they won't be able to compete with big businesses. Most likely, the indie made app you love will be harder to find since other apps will be shown instead.

This sucks and is a totally greedy move from one of the largest corporations in the world.

You're forgetting the massive impact the iPhone had on the mobile web.

Before the iPhone was released, the mobile web was a mixture of rudimentary WAP/WML, or if you were lucky awful browsers that tried to render HTML. Everybody hated it.

Then the iPhone was released and it had a web browser in the same ballpark as real desktop browsers. What's more, WebKit was open-source. In next to no time, all the major phone vendors had a WebKit-based browser of their own and the mobile web took off.

Yes, if Apple didn't release the iPhone, eventually we would have gotten decent mobile web browsers. But phone vendors were doing an awful job of it up until Apple moved the whole industry forward. The only other possibility would have been Opera, but that would have required unrealistic licensing deals to have the same impact as the iPhone, and Opera ended up switching to WebKit too.

You're also forgetting about the effect the App Store had on the mobile marketplace. Before the iPhone, buying a mobile application tended to be something that nobody did. Every app had to roll their own payment infrastructure – it was painful for developers to charge and it was painful for customers to pay. Then the App Store came along and made it easy. There was little movement on centralising this beforehand from any other vendor, but as soon as Apple did it, everybody else hopped on the bandwagon.
So maybe combine this with DeepMind's recent breakthrough in human voice reproduction, to build an agent that can translate speech in real time and bye bye human translators too ?
This might provide a good incentive to the postal infrastructure to improve their prices and service offerings. In lots of European countries the postal system is semi-privatised but still in a state of semi-monopoly. End-user logistics as provided by companies like DHL, PostNord and UPS are trying to get a foothold in the market, but at least here in Northern Europe we're still far from having a free market situation with different delivery options and competitive pricing. Sending packages – especially out of the country, like in the case of Amazon returns – can be prohibitively expensive.

If large companies like Amazon would threaten or effectively start to handle their own logistics, it just might force the market to open up a bit more.
To be fair they say "some of the world’s first urban planners", although I do agree with you.
Recent versions of Firefox also have tabs as seperate processes but is just as slow to start as before. Chrome might take equal time to load (it does not on my machine) but it presents the user with a smoother experience. It doesn't feel laggy at all.

I game a lot so I use to close down Firefox since it drains so much memeory and CPU. So I restart my browser a bit too often to not suffer from it. This has basically led me to start Edge more and more since it is the quickest of the three and drains the least performance of my computer.

I honestly care about start time and if it's not going to improve I will leave firefox for chrome sooner or later (even if I do not wish to). But that is honestly not either the only issue Firefox has, it is laggy in rendering web stuff that actually surprises me. Agar.io for example, is laggy for me in Firefox but not in Chrome or Edge.

As a CTO or team lead senior programmers to me were those who understood the business and the businesss side of things and could make trade offs (beside the technical experience).

Another aspect that seperates seniors is their ability to talk and present to senior or top management.

This is the most spot on comment in the whole discussion.

We have become so utterly focused on the specifics of lending rules and incentives, yet the biggest problem is more simple: there are not actually enough homes available to house all the people that want to buy a home to live in. There would be no housing crisis if we had a regulatory environment that encouraged the housing market to produce enough homes to actually meet demand, at prices people can afford.

That means smaller individual spaces (be they single family or multi-family buildings, built with vastly more automated processes, and streamlined permitting and approval processes.

It is mind-boggling that today that in a major city today in the US a working person should have to pay 30+ years of income just to afford a space to sleep.

Travel a little to actual first world countries and it is not hard to find places with far more sane balance of housing construction to population, with prices at far lower multiples of average income.

For readers (particularly developers interested in starting their own business), it's a source of inspiration, motivation, and community. There aren't many (any?) other places you can go online and read this many founder stories, complete with revenue stats, for smaller non-unicorn businesses.

For the people who agree to be interviewed, it's definitely free marketing for their businesses. It's also a chance to share their story, their successes, and their advice with the world. When you've been toiling away for years (likely in obscurity), sharing feels great.

So it's a win-win, really.
Well, I'd say that the software generally lacks packaging. I don't accept "read the uncommented hard-to-grok source" as documentation for any other piece of software. The programs are rock solid and great, but the source is nothing I would show a potential employer, and I am not a good enough C programmer to be able to rely on it for documentation.
Yeah, but running doesn't just mean "have better privacy" than the competition (i. e. Samsung/Google). Privacy is only one of many dimensions Apple is competing on, and running up the score there may still help them when the competition is better along other dimensions, like those cool self-igniting firework-phones I keep hearing about.

Would anyone care to comment on which cellphone providers allow the highest security?
The article recommended the following: "Call your cell phone provider and set up a PIN or password, ask for a port freeze and ask to lock your account to your current SIM."

It seems maybe we need a website/git-repo along the lines of https://twofactorauth.org/, but explaining phone provider security supported by provider.

Other than that there was a suggestion to have a special cellphone which is only used for SMS auth, and which you don't publish the number for.

I don't know about other area's, but as a developer it is well doable to get a job in Switzerland. What you're saying about the Swiss hating foreigners is definitely not true, I would even say the opposite. But the competition for IT jobs is a bit more tough than in some other countries in the EU. I don't know why that is, maybe it's because of the outflow of the ETH or maybe it's just that Swiss jobs are so popular with foreigners.
