There was a post on Reddit recently which is a great example of this. Somebody said that Netflix didn't support their monitor as it was too old (i.e. didn't support HDCP). One of the comments suggested to get a HDCP stripper, a simple device for $10, which will disable the DRM.

I was not aware that Sam had as many hooks as acme. If sam can send text to the terminal, than that's alright, I guess. But if you can't send program text to the interpreter...

As I'm running a Unix (Linux, at present), I really don't have the full power of the plumber at my disposal.

As for autoindent, I was talking about Lisp code, which most autoindenters don't indent properly. This is one of several reasons that the original vi had a dedicated mode for editing lisp code. Yes, really. You can look it up.

Anyways, I'm an emacs user. Saying we do everything through one program is like saying that every Smalltalk program is the same: we do everything through one VM. It's not as elegant, true, but it works right now. And outside of plan 9, acme and sam are a little hit and miss by comparison.

There is a nice norwegian documentary about, that we are kind of brainwashed that genders are equal, and that the reason for underrepresentation is nurture, but in the movie they hint at different studies, that it is not solely nurture, these is really a lot in our genes too.

> putting stuff on the screen is not hard

You've carved out your own definition of Frontend dev, it doesn't always require business/domain knowledge, many just put stuff on the screen.

Incidentally, I found this hard - not in a math problem way, but in a costing a lot of time and patience way. I distinctly recall spending a couple of hours trying to align some div after being requested to do so. I strongly dislike CSS.
No, quite the contrary. I think most technology is just an amoral multiplier of its users' intentions. But does the social and moral context in which it's created hold some predictive power about how it will be used? I think so. We can look back at the industrial revolution and see that, occuring in a time of extreme tribalism, political upheaval, and acceptability of violence, its use in war and genocide was sure to be horrific.

Before, we needed historians to tie together all the disparate threads of the record to make sense of these kinds of things, with all the time and work that entailed. But in an our era, where so much of life is lived in public, digital spaces, the time between the message and what it telegraphs is much shorter, and maybe more clear.

Almost 100% of the interviews I've had in tech in business were borderline condescending, and I'm a dude.

I would suggest this has nothing to do with gender, and that wanting 'less condescending interviews' is merely a gripe about the current state of the entire economy. Not only is it not tech specific, it's not even industry or nation specific.

riot.im [1] (which is based on matrix.org) seems a good, decentralized, open messaging app. They have relatively nice mobile apps and they promise to soon release end-to-end encryption based on the OLM [2] ratchet which is similar to the Signal encryption. In contrast to Tox, Matrix relies on federated servers. Tox is pure P2P which, in my experience, never works very well on mobile devices.

Where I live, you can get a bank card (not credit) as a teenager. But you are unable to put yourself in debt. So you can use the card to buy stuff, but companies should be wary of using the card details to verify future purchases.

In this case, if you pay for AdWords credit up front and then spend them, the company is fine. But if they charge a bill after the fact, the contract allowing those charges wouldn't be legal, and that's the responsibility of the professional part.
Google also said that their new messaging app would be end-to-end encrypted by default, and then quickly changed their mind when business reasons prevailed. Business reasons will always prevail. But even beyond that:

>For the lazy, a snippet indicating that no such tracking occurs: Requests to the Google Fonts API are made to resource-specific domains, such as fonts.googleapis.com or fonts.gstatic.com, so that your requests for fonts are separate from and do not contain any credentials you send to google.com while using other Google services that are authenticated, such as Gmail.

That's not what the snippet says. It is a technical statement, not a privacy statement. It doesn't mean they can't track you, it means it's a tiny bit harder to track you. Nothing in there says "we don't cross-reference these data" or "these data aren't used for tracking purposes" or anything else. Just that your Google account information isn't sent to the font servers.

More relevantly, the Google Fonts privacy policy links to the general Google privacy policy, which doesn't have any special "if you're using Google Fonts we collect a whole lot less than this" subsection. They might be using the data. They might not be. They might not be using the data today but decide to start using it tomorrow.

I have not tried Vue yet, but if they do, do a interactive tutorial like Knockout.JS, it would be a fantastic way to get users onboard.
I've written a large .NET SPA application and I feel very comfortable with the following technologies:

On the client:
- TypeScript as language (v2.1 for ES5 async/await), strict null checks enabled
- VS2015CE or VSCODE as IDE
- React for rendering the UI
- React-Templates for compiling HTML templates into pure React
- React-router for routing
- Webpack as module bundler, compiles in background (-w switch)

On the server:
- IIS/.NET, limited only to serving the main .html page and to reply REST api (C#).
- SQL Server as database engine

Everything is fine and debugging is smooth from Visual Studio. The only impedance mismatch is between server language (C#) and client (TypeScript). I once tried to switch to node.js but the SQL Server support was poor.

Thanks! You caught some ones I missed, so here are some edits and responses to your list:

1. I didn't mean to put "container" in front of quantum computing.

2. I didn't mention history of certs or encryption, as I think that security is often a feeling rather than a reality. I'm not sure that "HTTPS everywhere" plugin and then movement in early 2000s was innovation more than it was tightening up security after Firesheep.

3. Yes, I should've included WebSockets over long polling in Early 2010s.

4. Yes, RSS mattered- 1999/Early 2000s.

5. I probably shouldn't have mentioned OOP, etc. as I didn't mean for methodology to matter, since it doesn't matter to users. Similarly debugging tools don't matter for innovations that users see.

6. Yes, fluid layout, grid layout, and responsive design in Late 2000s (though Audi had responsive in 2001).

7. jQuery/MooTools/Prototype, Bootstrap/CanMVC, Angular/React - none of the implementation details of these things matter. The only things that matter are how things appear to the user- like whether a page has a clunky refresh or smooth transition and whether things update automatically when they are changed elsewhere. Also, Applets, Flash, frames, and the move to JS all screwed the visually impaired.

8. Cookies mattered because they were used to track users in ways they didn't want to be tracked. People disabling JS for a while mattered. US announcing Java was insecure mattered. Flash and Flash being abandoned mattered.

9. Forgot to mention frames in Mid/Late 1990s.

10. As you mentioned oAuth, SSO becoming a big deal in the Late 2000s with Facebook, Google.

And I should have mentioned blogging, microblogging, move of much of the web to Facebook, Tor/private web, peer sharing and impact on music industry as well as impact on the value of well-created data and applications vs. the value of constantly creating data and making data available and clear.

Despite all of the things I missed, the point is that the things that really matter aren't new libraries and frameworks- they are technology and how the world uses it. If a user can't tell a positive difference between something you were doing 5 years ago and today, then you didn't really innovate.
Yes. It was a fun project though.

> and that you should explicitly disadvantage them to make up for your biases.

This isn't correct. Any "training" program which would advocate for this would be highly unethical. At the end of the Vox article linked to by dankohn1, it gives steps to reduce implicit bias. These steps are all about awareness and mindfulness. Nowhere does it explicitly state to trade one form of discrimination for another.

As soon as I saw that kernel boot screen in the article it was like seeing an old friend. I look back on my years at SCO(C) very fondly.

In a number of ways. "Common" is not that common of an adjective for software projects, compared to "new". Common Lisp is actually derived from dialects that trace their lineage to Lisp (the Lisp, unqualified) standardizing what is common among them. And the full name is actually "ANSI Common Lisp"; "Common Lisp" and "CL" are just nicknames.

Common Lisp people insisting on "Lisp" denoting "Common Lisp" are simply wrong, and that's that.

Looking at any fonts, recently, I am starting to crave for a 4K LCD panel. When people were switching to HD panels there were big WOW around, but after buying a smartphone, I realized that HD is good for smartphone, but not enough for anything big. I love to read on my smartphone and I love to code, too, but fonts look just crappy (especially on Windows). Sadly, good 4K panels out there are still quite pricey.

Not only is that terrible management, it's audacious micromanagement that the CEO went to great personal lengths (based on the story anyways) to gather evidence to go after remote workers.

I've seen both sides.

I used to work for Capital One Europe, the UK side of the business that currently only does credit cards, until last year. I'd seen a mixture of some people leaving on good terms and some on bad terms, with no obvious correlation to performance. Personally, I left on good terms for a new role elsewhere.

I'd suggest when you're talking about a company of sufficient size; there are always going to be a mixture of those leaving on good terms and those not.
Say in your personal statement that you have delivered real projects and also that you are keen to learn and grow. The ability to deliver real shit is better than being a dilettante that jumps from framework to framework doing TODO example apps - even though the latter might sound much more "pro".

Add links to your work. If you have a portfolio page with links to your work, add a link to your portfolio instead.

In terms of tech you only need jquery and git. Juniors are not expected to know a lot. Rather, they are expected to be keen to learn and improve on the job. It's an investment. Your employer is buying a seed instead of a tree.

Create a github account and follow the instructions. Also maybe check out the git lesson at codeschool, it's short. You can learn git in a few days. It's easy and absolutely necessary for everyday work.

This will be interesting to watch. Apple has become a dominant player in the mobile industry and being in that role it restricts what they can do now (and could earlier get away with). Bundling related rulings had huge impact in the past on e.g. IBM and Microsoft.
That's the part I think a lot of people forget: Apple, Google, and Microsoft are also DRM vendors. There is no nefarious third party needed to put DRM into most of the browsers people use, and Mozilla doesn't have anywhere enough market-share to do more than slow that.
I'd actually say that the presentation was really good. It's mostly in a very accessible form of humor that most can participate in. This presentation will not only be seen by those in the crowd but millions of people on Facebook.
