There's also the fact that Google loves to abruptly drop support for various services on a seeming whim.

Indirection may be fundamental to programming, but it is a fairly self-contained concept that in my experience can be grokked quickly. The math required for an engineering degree is based on arithmetic, algebra, trig and calculus, all of which are taught over a period of years.

I may still not be understanding you, but my own experience, when I learned programming as part of an EE degree (first language was C with lots of pointer manipulation) was that concepts like indirection are a lot simpler to pick up de novo than Partial Differential Equations, Fourier Transforms and other college-level math concepts are, even with 12 year grade school background.

I worked in a room like that at my last employer. There were four of us in one office (with room for a fifth). It was easily the worst arrangement I've ever worked in.

I'd rather have either a cube farm or a two-person office with both our backs to the wall. I like my privacy.
Well, I guess that's true. Given the site is an aggregator for a SF-based incubator I figured a reasonable enough number of people would be a American.

I'm also not sure why my comments have anything to do with being an American. I think not swearing at work would be universally good advice. I guess if swearing at work is integral to your identity you may be offended by someone declaring that you shouldn't swear at work. But it's generally not a good idea if you're wanting to optimize your career progression.
I've worked most of my career in cube farm configurations and had little reason to complain. At my last job of 15 years, the 26 yr old newly appointed manager announced that we were moving to 'an open, war room atmosphere'. Exit imminent, fortunately I ended up working from home. Privacy, natural light, open ended schedule to be productive. Best thing to ever happen to me
Happy Hacktoberfest: Encouraging Open Source
Yes... and it doesn't apply to my point.

Let's say a piece of land costs 1 million normally and 2 million under rent control.

I buy land for say 2 million (which would be 1 million without rent control) and estimate over 20 years I can earn 2.5 million or whatever as long as its above 2 million.

If rent control and building restrictions are removed, as more houses are built then rent will go down back to 1 million throughout the city and effect my own earnings.

Hence every person who owns developed land in San Francisco is for rent control, while if their land is just one small house their against it. However, once the person develops their own land they also start supporting it.
I was apparently signed up on Yahoo though as in I was able to log in to Yahoo and cancel the service. Which I assumed made the charge "legitimate" whether or not a refund was offered. I was thinking of disputing it but was inclined not to bother. Maybe I'll take a further look.

It's also not very good- both the desktop and iOS clients (that I use) are horribly slow to load, clunky, and require multiple (laggy) clicks just to get to a notification of a message. I'd much rather pay for something else, on-prem and open source be damned.
I think you might not realize how lucky you are to be able to have interviews. There are places in the world where you can look 50 miles around and only find 3 companies who are (even remotely) a match for you. Whether they happen to have open positions at the moment doesn't even come into considerations yet.
Why would the speed of the blog be a problem if it's behind a cache? Just ramp up the ttl entering varnish and purge aggressively on changes; hell, just reboot varnish any time you make a change. Nothing about a cache interface is difficult to work around when your content changes as little as a blog would.

If anything, moving to an unproven blog framework is going to cause much more headaches than a worpress blog slowing down for seconds every time you make a post.

I worked at a school helpdesk for a while, and I saw that whenever school email accounts were hacked, the attackers would set up forwarding to some other account.
People wouldn't notice the forwarding for weeks or longer, and would only come in to us by chance. In the meantime, a lot of information could be siphoned off.

There could be some legitimate security concerns there, especially since most yahoo accounts don't have a convenient and free help desk to stop by, right?

(Disclaimer: I am only a novice when it comes to security, I could be totally off base)

Bravo to the React team for the work during the last few months! It's truly amazing, specially for the new users.

Among other things:

1) Create-React-App[1]: Lets everyone starts a React app with Babel/Webpack (JSX, classes and import/export) without any knowledge about Babel/Webpack.

2) The new Contributing docs (Codebase Overview, Implementation Notes (discussed here) and Design Principles) offer a starting point to figure out how React works.

3) A revamp of the current documentation is going to be released soon[2]

4) "You might not need Redux"[3]

I never said that.

The implication in your original comment is quite clear, "why don't you let experts do what they do and you spend your time doing what you do?". So, you actually did say that...

But to suggest that everyone should do (or will do it, as some people are commenting here) it is bananas.

The comment you replied to didn't suggest that everyone should self host, it simply stated a preference. Your comment, however, was the exact opposite, and suggested people shouldn't self host "unless they do servers"
I use CURRENT on a Thinkpad X230. It works ok.

Main gotchas:

* No SSL CA certificates out of the box. FreeBSD security team has taken the
curious posture of claiming that shipping no CAs is better than just
shipping e.g. Mozilla's CA bundle.[0]

* rc.d is like Linux init from 5 years ago. Dynamic network configuration is
not handled well.

* Intel GPU driver support for anything above Haswell is still waiting to be
merged. But work is ongoing.[1]

* No Xorg or session management out of the box. You get dropped to a terminal
console. Good luck starting a session.

* Some packages conflict with each other needlessly. For example, you cannot
install gitk and git-svn at the same time.

* Finally, the installer has some limited choices. You can't enable full disk
encryption for UFS with the installer (last time I checked, anyway).

Other than all that, it works well.

For the record, I agree with both points you make. Preventing your employees from accessing certain birth control products because you are against birth not different from forbidding your employees from having homosexual relations because you are against homosexuality. It's wrong.

Also, indoctrination of children is an abhorrent crime. It's child abuse. It's brainwashing, fact, and there's no way to argue otherwise. Brainwashing is the word. It's instilling fear, implanting a worldview in a child while their brain is developing that will cripple and condition them for life. Sending your child every week to church and Sunday school to have dogmas drilled into their heads is tantamount to the "hypnopaedia" in Brave New World. Insidious and abhorrent, a crime against freedom and self-determination.

No, actually, but I did (sort of) reimplement[0] the "git browse" command that hub gives you.

Yes, exactly this.

Not only does working on a branch sequester each developer's individual insanities until merge time, it lets other team members keep an eye on that branch so there aren't big surprises when merge time comes around. We want both aspects, not just one or the other.

Back in the early days of computing, a programming team was likely to share a single expensive computer.

Then we had the PC revolution, so each developer could have his own computer, but we kept those devs in cube farms or similar shared working spaces, and they had a LAN to coordinate their work.

Then the Internet happened, and we started doing distributed development, so we invented Subversion and mailing lists and suchlike to give team members a way to coordinate their efforts.

Then we got DVCSes, which have their uses, but they cause a new problem, which is that they let developers fork the project and go off on a tangent, completely unmonitored. When they pop up weeks or months later with a new feature, that feature may not even merge cleanly, or if it does, it may not align with the core developers' vision of where the project is going. So, the fork is never healed, and you end up with a choice of forks, no better than old-style project forks, where the dissenters just copied the project repo.

This problem was solved in the Git world by Github, which effectively turns forks into a special kind of branch, in that you can trace forks from parent repos to children, and merge child forks back in just as easily as internal branches.

Fossil solves it differently by strongly encouraging a central-and-clones model: it helps maintain team cohesion in a distributed development environment. Fossil actively fights against users going off on a tangent. This is a good thing.

You can force Fossil to work like stock Git, but its default configuration fights against that, on purpose.

No suspend/hibernate (suspend is available, but fiddly and does not work with X). Apart from that I've been quite happy to this day since last January when I moved to FreeBSD. Though I intend to check-out OpenBSD when I'll have time, as AFAIK it is more laptop-friendly (has working suspend and/or hibernate).

The BSD land is better than any linux distro with its docs and community, and the OSes are really clean and well put-together from the bottom up. Only Arch can come close to them, but then it has no stable releases and breaking changes are often.

BSDs run nearly all the software that GNU/Linux runs, and ports tree is exhaustive. I only have Emacs and Xombrero that I build and install seperately because I'm patching them.
Well then, one of two things happened. Either you visited a site with improperly formed html or css, or uBlock doesn't work like it should.

What do you mean, what's unique about that? Lots of people can read 2000-year-old Latin and Greek inscriptions, too. Biblical Hebrew is probably more similar to modern Hebrew than late-classical Latin is to modern Italian, but it's not that similar. I don't know about Greek, but someone on Quora says that "a speaker of modern Greek can usually get the gist of an ancient text, although trying to translate may often lead to tragic misinterpretations".

I'm an Israeli too, and I'm pretty sure that if I hadn't taken those mandatory classes, and encountered Biblical Hebrew today for the first time, I wouldn't really understand it. Back in highschool, we had to use a commentary/thesaurus/teacher all the time.

Completely sympathize with the reasoning behind this.

Have done similar myself, trying to make the most of low-resource software to run on low-powered hardware.

Self-hosting email, while a PITA at times (must use mailinabox next time... but spf, dmarc, tls everywhere wasn't too bad to set up, just the multiple accounts were fun) is extremely satisfying. And no, it doesn't mostly end up in a gmail inbox. But even if it does, Prism leaks resulted in Google de-pwning themselves (internal encryption), supposedly. For now, etc.

Otherwise RSS (newsbeuter), XMPP (finch), email (mutt), IRC (irssi), Drupal with nginx + php opcode caching + microcaching, Hugo sites with nginx, letsencrypt/certbot. SSH tunnels for socks and remote connections. Cheap router with tomato firmware... Quite amazing what you can run on a pi, router and low end VPS with a bit of time and effort.

Even transitioning much of my word processing to markdown/latex/pandoc for dead simple clean and quick publishing.

I may be completely deluded, but for me the future is still the command line, low powered hardware and FOSS. Its strength is in its fluid development that seems able to endure decades of change and advances, weathering rises and falls of shinier things.

More power to the OP, may many more share their non-shiny setups.

I don't think it was necessary to imply ignorance of other people. Your loosely-worded comment hinted at misunderstanding, and was potentially misleading for people who do not know much about the subject.

Wikipedia correctly points out that some of the terminology and the extent of heritability is contentious. It has references in proper journals to read further about such debate if people wish to. Linking to that as a starting point does not imply this being the extent of someone's knowledge, especially when they offer other sources.

If you are perturbed that your own knowledge has been underestimated, maybe try to assume the best of others?

"though proving their..." → "thus proving their..."
I'll say this on inflation: housing, tuition, health care, and several other things are insanely expensive relative to wages and the rest of the economy. You can't have a market with no buyers. Two possible outcomes: (1) these deflate until they are reasonable, and (2) the rest of the economy inflates until these are reasonable.

Given the amount of money sloshing around and the stickiness of esp. real estate prices, (2) may be more likely. My kids may know a country where everyone makes six figures and a starter house is... well... still $750k.

Of course central banks and governments are not as dumb as people think. This is likely the intended outcome.
Depends what part of the market you want to target, but if you don't have strong web development skills... i might suggest the lower end.

Honestly, even turning around simplistic wordpress sites... without any js/css work, you should be able to bring in >$20K USD (assume you are talking in USD)..

If you really go after the lower end for worst case (but most of these you should at least double).

- 1 site per week for $500, based on 48 weeks per year $24,000 (might be a lofty goal).
- Add in hosting / support.. $100 USD per month (exponential growth as you add more clients)
- minimum $50 charge to make changes outside of basic support.

This largely depends on your networking skills and contracts... but it is doable. The money in this sector of the market isn't about technical competence, but sales skills.

Be careful over-committing, and be firm with the requirements to stop it ballooning.. and be ready to add the charge as needed.

No, what I mean is that if you rate the cool kids as better than the normal candidates, then it suggests that the cool kids do not think your test is an appropriate measure of ability.

If that is the case, either the cool kids are wrong and your test is doing an excellent job of evaluating your candidates, or they are right and you should find a new test which they and other candidates will be able to go through.
This was an excellent review of a book that has been given standard reviews elsewhere. I may be buying this book.

The content reminds me of the documentary film 'Spin':

* Using the 1992 presidential election as his springboard, Springer captures the behind-the-scenes maneuverings of politicians and newscasters in the early 1990s. Pat Robertson banters about "homos," Al Gore learns how to avoid abortion questions, George H. W. Bush talks to Larry King about Halcion—all presuming they are off camera. Composed of 100% unauthorized satellite footage, Spin is a surreal expose of media-constructed reality.*

Yep, H W Bush was on Halcion, not good!!!

I've been using VSCode for a few months now, I'm finding it to be really powerful. Main downsides for me:

* The Flow support (via an extension) is pretty far behind the TypeScript support, which is understandable but not ideal.

* It doesn't yet have the critical mass of mindshare for it to be primary target for extension authors, i'm hoping that changes.

* The lack of ability to customise/theme the UI means I can't do anything about the fact that my syntax theme looks totally out of place in the UI.
None of that is in any way an argument against cloud hosting. Do you think anyone who uses say Blogspot has to care about any of that?

The former is intellectual suicide, the latter, philosophical suicide.
> Ah yes, the "it's all subjective" argument. The thing is, it's not subjective.

Some things are, some things aren't - and even some of the subjective objections can be reasonable. If your entire dev team is a bunch of crusty C programmers with no exception handling experience, introducing a new library that throws exceptions has drawbacks, no matter how reasonably they might be used. They're simply not in the right mindset for it. If it's just 1 member of your dev team, however, perhaps it's time for them to learn to deal with exception handling if the library is otherwise good.

Then I see devs getting very passionate about vanilla XML vs JSON, CamelCase vs snake_case, and making kneejerk reactions to well documented edge cases that their replacement implementations would also have (minus the documentation.)

Your tastes are a bit better, but even there I can think of scenarios where all three aren't vital to me - easily fungible dev-only debug tools come to mind.

> Sure, it may be hard to objectively measure the qualities of a library, but that doesn't mean we should give up and assume there's no underlying objective truth.

Agreed. But I find that the best way to measure is to have at least one person try - or have previous experience with - using the library.

Obscenely convoluted dependency chains that can't be simply checked into VCS? Consistently unstable? Insecure by design and defaults? Constant public interface churn? I agree that there are reasons to kill a library with fire - sometimes before you decide to integrate it in the first place, sometimes after the fact when you've realized it was a mistake.

> The result? We often end up with a larger maintenance burden by using a library.

I see this rather rarely, which does make me think we've spent time on opposite ends of the NIH spectrum. It does happen though, and those are libraries that I will still avoid.
