Presuming you are being pursued by a state actor, isn't using a computer at a library or Internet cafe enough to thwart most of that? Especially if you're using asynchronous store-and-forward protocols like NNTP or Freenet, where you can be long-gone from wherever the computer you used was, before anyone else ever sees "your" activity.
Some historical context, fragments came out with Honeycomb which was the first version of Android specifically for tablets. As such Fragments were meant to be a way write UI in something both tablet and phone layouts could use. So, that's the mysterious reason for the extra layer of complexity. I think at this point, many people don't even use them unless they specifically need to for tablet/phone/tv shared layouts. There are also other alternative patterns that have emerged that are less complicated
> Don't believe that FizzBuzz trope

Don't believe it? It's not something I'm just parroting, it's something I've seen for myself, from people with more than a decade of experience.

> I guess what I'm getting at is that the onus for company/team/culture fit is on both the interviewer and the interviewee.

As an interviewee you don't have access to the single most important piece of information to make that assessment, the source code. When this changes then me and a lot of others will stop ending up at crappy companies.
For the people they are targeting by calling it a successor to Sublime, the language actually does matter.

Many, likely most, Sublime users are taking advantage of the myriad of plugins written for Sublime in Python. I immediately discounted the usefulness of this product simply because it is written in Go, which would mean I need to find new equivalents for the plugins I use on a day to day basis, or write Go versions of them myself.

I honestly don't have enough to complain about with Sublime that would make switching worth that amount of effort.

Anecdotally, having recently driven a rental Mercedes C200, rear visibility was abysmal there too. Luckily it had a camera. I guess it's less a European/American thing but rather depends on the car (type).
They really should filter the news to each person's individual bias. It'd just be easier that way. Cognitive dissonance is real and it can cause serious emotional distress. That's not a good way to drive engagement.

> Maybe I don't get what's better about React Native over a native app that is just a web view.

It's better because React Native is actually rendering native components. Stuff like PhoneGap never feels or works quite right as a side effect of being rendered in a web view.

In my experience it's relatively easy if you essentially treat an IAT test as a method acting challenge.

According to the literature it's relatively easy for study participants when given a couple tries to get it "right": http://psycnet.apa.org/psycinfo/2004-17684-002

Saying tech doesn't create jobs is like saying Petroleum is only about fuel for cars. It creates ancillary jobs [people making apps, people selling phones and data plans] but also improves the aspects of many other jobs [like addressing disasters with up to date information, or ability to monitor a protest which could turn violent, or facilitating access to education for people who would not have had the chance, otherwise] There are a lot of benefits elsewhere...

That said, automation in many fields will finally claw away low skills jobs from people. I don't think we, as a society will dodge that bullet this time. We may come up with job substitutes, but we won't be able to do "value-add" indefinitely. And, eventually, this will filter down quickly to poor countries too [unless they close the borders to technological change, but I don't see that happening, their oligarchs will make sure they also can bring that tech in-house]

Nate Silver's reputation stakes on being accurate, so anything outside of a perfect result isn't great. This is different than Exxon Mobil's stance on global warming, where they make money when the truth about global warming was obfuscated.
>My favourite bit is how they skipped adding length negotiation and it is causing them problems already.

We are working on it but when you have hundreds of different implementations which are all broken in their own way its not as easy as just adding a way to negotiate the length. Extending the length to add an extra 512 octets for message tags was a temporary fix.

>Now if they had started with fixing the actual protocol they wouldn't have had to deal with that.

We HAVE started with working on fixing the protocol. Almost all of the specifications in IRCv3.1 and most of the specifications in IRCv3.2 fix core protocol issues.

Considering the universe of facts is endless, it seems that it's impossible to report without "bias" then – you necessarily have to make decisions and there is no objective standard to judge stories by.

I usually prefer to think of the middle case: someone with a grudge against me, who would love to blackmail me if they could get the dirt, and who has money to hire some blackhats and buy some zero-days and set up spear-phishing—but who doesn't actually have any access to the things that states get by default by sending fancy letters with Important Signatures.

It's interesting to work through the case of an absurdly rich private actor, because it works out differently for diferent companies; for some, they can just get a "man on the inside" to leak out your data easily enough, while for others (e.g. Gmail) the employees themselves aren't trusted to access user data, and have been firewalled/ACLed away from it to prevent just such intrusions. State actors get pretty much the same "help" from every service (save for the rare Lavabits of the world) but corporate actors get a rather unpredictable response landscape.
What sort of backend storage does this use?
Something about the phrase "Successor to Sublime" rubs me the wrong way. It's condescending and misleading.

I initially thought, did the author of Sublime open source his work like the author of Textmate? But no, it looks like this looks like an independent project, and since Sublime is still updated, can there be a successor yet?
Anyone know what the story is with this one?

Looks like some kind of debris pile, perhaps from the mine. The corners are angled like it's building up to an eventual truncated pyramid shape, and the one in the upper left looks higher, and "finished" compared to the other three. There's a similar pile that isn't laid out as a square just south of the mine, you can see the multiple layers getting smaller as it gets higher.
I lived in new, modern, fairly-well-layed-out 330sqft and 450sqft apartments for four years, and you know what? It was fine, but you definitely get tired of it. I will gladly pay more to get more space. Things that can quickly make this even more urgent: pets, relationships, children, certain hobbies, a social circle that enjoys private get-togethers, working from home, etc.

I also find stuff makes me happier than experiences, so I realize I'm not representative of current fashionable lifestyles, but pretending everyone's the same or telling people "you shouldn't want that" isn't a practical policy solution.

Except most companies are lousy dev shops. Bad practices are endemic at many, and good practices are not practiced a lot. Engineering is often ignored in favor of quick wins.

There are a lot of reasons for quality developers to be dissatisfied with shops out there.

To take myself as an example, in my almost 4 year career, I am in my 5th developer job. I have changed jobs every 10 months or so, excepting one job lasting 3 months due to asinine expectations, and my current one that I am 15 months into and counting. The first two I left for better compensation & more responsibility.

I wasn't one for inaction at my jobs either - I was one who would be a driver of change and better practices. At two of the jobs I was promoted to lead developer, including my current one where I am a hybrid between tech lead & engineering manager.

I have interviewed many candidates over the past two years - I have found that candidates who are able to explain their positions well and are open to considering alternative possibilities tend to be passionate ones who care about what they do, which is a characteristic that is a positive if you want to improve the state of engineering at the company. Short durations often tend to mean that they care more than anyone else at the company, and management/executives are too difficult to fight as they have more power to countermand attempts to make things better if it doesn't align with misguided judgment.

I would recommend you rethink your evaluation skills, speaking as one who it sounds like you'd chase away from being interested because such biases would become obvious over the course of interviewing. I am a respected expert in my domain with significant open source work in it & major open source project stewardship. My company has been rewarded with my finding other high quality developers, as well as me being a strong advocate - all due to the simple choice of having good processes and listening to employees & trusting their professional opinion. It's not surprise that the company has risen into Fortune's top 50 small companies to work for.

Just because it's non-ionizing doesn't mean it's safe. HERF will simply cook you, and just like your kitchen microwave oven it will cook the strongest at the antinodes. This means you can get very nasty burns inside your hand that don't show on the surface.

Just being near some antennas when it is transmitting can give you a very nasty RF burn. A magnetron that can damage electronics (or cause almost any visible effect) is going to do you what it does to your food.

Seriously, don't mess with high-energy RF without proper safety training. Waving around an open magnetron that could be reflecting back at you in unknown ways is incredibly dangerous.
It sounds like you're talking about Bitbucket Server. This article is about Bitbucket Cloud. Some people (myself included) much prefer the Cloud product, some people love the server product - and often they have these opinions for the same reason. File-by-file diff is a good example of this :)

I'd actually rather have the device tell me to turn around at a convenient place. Finding a place to safely go the other direction is part of learning how to drive and the exam anyway, and how to do that is at the discretion of the driver. Could be a U-turn, could be a roundabout, could just be going into a side road and using a drive way. But as you note, the map data rarely has the information where is possible or allowed.

You're repeating the false narrative that unbiased news does not exist.

There are lots of unbiased news outlets who just report on stories as they come in. I learn about all sorts of government corruption and waste from NPR, NYTimes, WaPO, etc... And relating to current events, I also learn about all the unscrupulous things Clinton did from these sources.

I don't need to be inundated with right-wing propaganda be unbiased. Just as I wouldn't spend too much time reading HuffPo or ThinkProgress.

No one news source is complete, or 100% correct, but not every news source is credible or deserve our attention.
I really don't want that, and try to fight it when I'm experiencing it by reading opposing viewpoints.

I want my views challenged, and to have at least a chance of finding out when I'm wrong.

With almost any given issue and viewpoint it's what they don't tell you that's the part you probably should know or at least get exposed to.

Not be ridiculously, terribly bad at actually displaying text (quickly, smoothly, large amounts).

Not be extended in a language that's so slow that most "intelligent" modes end up being piles of half-correct regex hacks.

Not not care about correctness, in general.

This is covered on that Wikipedia page, but for those maybe too young to remember, Al Gore's supposed claim to have invented the internet was widely joked about in the late 90s. From the article:

"After this interview, Gore became the subject of controversy and ridicule when his statement "I took the initiative in creating the Internet"[53] was widely quoted out of context. It was often misquoted by comedians and figures in American popular media who framed this statement as a claim that Gore believed he had personally invented the Internet.[54] Gore's actual words, however, were widely reaffirmed by notable Internet pioneers, such as Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, who stated, "No one in public life has been more intellectually engaged in helping to create the climate for a thriving Internet than the Vice President.""
One day I was in an airport and wanted to use the wifi. Unfortunately I burned through my free 30 min way too quickly and had to pay a dozen dollars to the boingo hotspot crap.

I was on my phone so no way to change my MAC address unfortunately.

So I use paypal. I accept to pay the amount. And that was it.

Now a week later I connect to the free wifi in the same airport. And the thing decides to charge my paypal for one hour of browsing. I never opted to open my paypal account for boingo crap to have unlimited withdrawals.

So I contacted paypal and told them there was a fraud. I had never allowed these transactions. Paypal refused to do anything.

It is simpler for us to work on stuff by ourselves rather than getting the bureaucratic nightmare which is the IETF involved. IRC has never followed the RFCs strictly (even RFC 1459 describes a specific protocol which has never existed) so it is not too much of a problem.

There are plans to contribute an updated base RFC to the IETF in due course though.
> You're going to have to break the Turing Test before you get good automated content curation. There will always be error.

Yes, but even a competent AI curation system is going to make mistakes. The only relevant question is "what is an acceptable rate of error?". (Hint: 0% is not an acceptable answer.) We may be able to get to an acceptable rate (or may already be there) with or without AI-complete.

> People are worried about bias ... Information aggregators should have their members clearly spell out their positions on popular issues

This isn't a problem that can be solved with meta-data. An aggregator could write a beautiful, open-minded mission statement and still write trash. Hell, Google's unofficial mantra is "don't do evil". Well, ok then, there's nothing to worry about, Google has clearly spelled out their position, so there's no need to analyze or criticize their policies.

A policy statement or any other meta-data is not going to solve this. As you correctly noted an AI that passes the TT may be one way to work around this. But I'm skeptical. Any such AI would be at least as complicated as human intelligence, including all the foibles and errors that entails. An AI without our cognitive hang-ups would be smarter and more capable than us. Which would not increase my trust, and possibly decrease it, as the AI would no doubt have a bias to curate stories in it's own favor, or that put it (and AI in general) in the best light.

Bias is an unavoidable component of any curation.

It's hard for these other Electron based editors to completely replace Sublime when they are so much slower. People say that they don't notice how slow Atom or VS Code are, but try running them on a 5+ year old laptop like mine.
I'm referring to compliance/licensing requirements that have little to do with protecting consumers and everything to do with creating barriers of entry. Things like 'mandatory hours of instruction' which in no way translate to useful applicable knowledge. See also real estate broker or bar exams.
Feature parity is not really a goal of these products - they are totally separate teams, technologies and languages. If one team develops something awesome then of course the other will try to reimplement, but it's not really the case that features "hit cloud first".

I genuinely can't tell if this comment is sarcastic or not. And I don't mean that insultingly. It's an obvious conclusion to jump to from the initially rejected premise that hyper-equality of treatment is wrong, but of course it ignores the enormous cost of creating echo chambers.

It seems like the 'correct' solution doesn't lie at one of these poles, unfortunately.

>Overall, I wouldn't say Android is poorly designed, it's just mediocre

I think it is mostly have to do with company's talent pool and focus.

As far as I can see (I may be wrong, this is my estimate) Google tries hard to devote best talents to 1) ads and Search and it's maintaining 2) Chrome team 3) Google apps and services online and on iPhones.

After these option they try to develop Android as kinda (I don't know what is they correct word, so I am going with kinda) side project because they know the world needs an open platform for competing with apples devices.

The reason because why Android is unacceptable from Google is we all used Google's best products. Chrome and search and we kinda (by default) think about Google as non fallible.

But that's nowhere near the reality, they have limited number of super smart guys, and they try their best to keep core products (search and browser) much better than competitors.

Most of the time when Google does release a new app their iOS apps is better than Android's ones.

We would be okay if Android was from mediocre company. But it is not, it is from Google , which is the best in some areas. But they don't have unlimited talent. They are trying their best to balance.

I am not saying people who worked on Android are not that bright. No I am talking about more broader picture. Of course there some excellent people who work on Android. But I am not talking about 1,2 or three. I am talking about management perspective in broader sense.

This is my personal understanding, I may be completely wrong.
IRCv3 makes writing software easier not more complicated.

Take the "away-notify" extension for example. Without it you would have to repeatedly poll a channel with WHO to see if all users in that channel have marked themselves as away.

> there should be "block designed" hiring around these issues to maximize political diversity and reduce bias in aggregate

How do we deal with those who would push treasonous information? If WikiLeaks publishes correspondence between, say, USA and China, that is private because China wanted it that way, and that hurts American allies, should this be allowed to trend on an American-based website?

Has WikiLeaks contributed to the right wing propaganda we see being pushed online? Should some of this be punishable?
React Native apps are written in JavaScript, but the components you use are wrappers for actual native view components. So you get native performance (the views can be GPU-accelerated), and native styles.

I've been working with Android for a couple years, and (while I like it) it has it's warts. The architectural patterns required to keep a medium-sized codebase understandable are simply not agreed upon. There are lots of ways to do things, and (as the article points out) even the basic activity + fragment API's are very complex.

I just started playing with React Native, after having some React experience, and it's a breath of fresh air. It feels like cross-platform without obvious negatives, and the rare bonus of being able to wrap + use native components or libraries whenever you need to. You can even share most of your code (even view code for basic views) across IOS and Android. React has a super simple API. The tooling is younger, but is out of the box faster to develop with than Android.

That said, I haven't built a large app in React or React Native, and maybe it bites developers at some scale. No idea how it deals with long-running services, multiple threads, bluetooth or other hardware APIs. But for now, I'm very optimistic.
I only use VSCode because currently it has the best experience for Rust.
