I'm not getting paid for open-source, so most of my GitHub stuff is for fun/profit https://github.com/wkoszek <- none of these generated any $$$. So if you contributed something, your learning goal could work, but there's no money to be made.

Learn/money idea to what you want is to get a job where open source is welcome, cherished and used. Internships are good to try it out. HIIT in Finland was such place and I interned there, and the result is here:
https://github.com/wkoszek/freebsd_netfpga So I've got $$$ for stay + food + cinema for hacking project which I knew we'd publish and I learned a bunch.

If you're not for a rich country, Google Code In and Google Summer of Code be an option. You get a $5000 stipend for spending your summer at home hacking code, you get a decent mentor from a project you're interested in and you get experience.

Another model is to reach out to projects which are backed by a legal body. For example the FreeBSD Foundation helps and support the FreeBSD Project, and they have sponsored projects. If you're good in FreeBSD and have an idea, I feel there'd be some $$$ if you can deliver something useful. FreeBSD has feature idea pages and if you see a fit, you could just ping people and start collaborating.

Last, and I think the hardest, is to start hacking good code in a product you see is (1) open-source (2) backed by a company. I don't know how many hiring managers are techies merging pull requests etc., but even through individual engineers you can get a reference. After 10th pull request accepted by a guy who reviewed your stuff and with whom you've worked, I feel like it's easier to shoot "Are you hiring? I NEED THE MONEYZ!" email.
Treat it as a virtual machine and it works fine. Try to interop with windows and it will cause headaches.
I have a 2012 15" MacBook Pro Retina. Upgrading to the new one doesn't feel like it would be much of an upgrade. My current notebook does everything I need (ST3, web, music).

I think when MacBook Pros have 4K screens, or better yet, OLED screens, I will upgrade. I'm thinking that will be 2018 or 2019.
I don't care as much if the hardware is "top end", but I do require that it lasts, my surface 3 keyboard didn't last a year.
If Diamonds Are Forever, Your Data Could Be, Too
The grading scale at my daughter's elementary school keeps moving more and more towards not having any sort of discernable outcomes. The possible grade as of her most recent report card are:

Basic skill
Progressing towards goal
Meets goal
Exceeds goal

And in several subjects (it grows every semester), Es are not awarded at all. I am not sure I understand the point of this system.
Any chance they will open source it ?

It's probably a pretty awesome code base
Noone uses desktop PCs? I don't know what type of hipster country you live in but they are certainly still used heavily.
The product that really hit both of them out of the park was the Razer Blade Pro. Legitimately better in every single way than both the Apple and Microsoft offerings.

Funding bodies emphasize data sharing more and more. However, that is along or after a publication.

No one has figured out academic attribution of data-only in a satisfactory way yet, but some noteworthy attempts exist. E.g. https://www.elsevier.com/connect/new-data-journal-lets-resea...
Exactly ^^
The games weren't "murder," which is by definition the unlawful taking of another's life. Roman gladiatorial combat was perfectly legal at the time.

Add built-in always-connected internet and you have an iPad Pro. The software isn't there quite yet, but it's really damn close.
> They sure don't make a point of showing of developer-centric features, innovations, and upgrades.

They spend a week doing that every year at WWDC with thousands of people in attendance.

Even today, at a consumer-focused event, they made a point of telling people that developers could hook into the Touch Bar for their own applications.
For some reason, I always feel like the following quote from Emo Philips encapsulates this sentiment really well (and it's a sentiment I feel quite often):

"When I was a little boy, I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realised, the Lord, in his wisdom, doesn't work that way. So I just stole one and asked Him to forgive me."

Sometimes to get what you want you have to sell out or otherwise find an unorthodox means to your desired end state.
The general solution is to renegotiate your contract further in advance, so that you have time to find an alternate supplier.
You should put some contact info in your profile, so that the opportunities can come to you...
If Congress legally empowered an un-elected five person 'Super Congress' that wielded the power of Congress itself to make laws independently would you feel like your voice at the ballot box was being undermined?

I'm not saying the US regulatory agencies are at that point, but I would feel better about them if their power was more directly checked by the Executive branch.

Instead of "FCC voted today on a new ISP resulations..." it would be "Today President Obama approves new FCC recommendation...".
I read that you set it up so that the cryo people get your life insurance.
Is there a difference between whether that income (which obviously would need to be adjusted for different areas) comes from a single job you can't afford to quit vs say, passive investment income where you don't feel pressure to stay with a bad boss or something else?

Those seem like big distinctions.
Gives a new meaning to the term, "sleep with one eye open at night." :)
FWIW: Concurrent with the arrival of Surface Pro 4 last year, Microsoft released a Surface keyboard that included a fingerprint reader that could be used with Surface Pro 3 devices. This was done as a token gesture to Pro 3 users since the Pro 3 does not include the necessary IR camera for Windows Hello face recognition. The IR camera is only on the Pro 4 and Surface Book.
I think Civ is a survivor from an era in which there was still more exploration around game genres. Meaning that now the industry has converged towards what risk aversion through sticking to what is known to be commercially viable.

I think there was no precedent to make a game like Civ. You could mention board games, or simulation games like Simcity, but Civ is vastly different, gives you a lot of knobs to play with and that makes very, very risky.

I admire Sid for his courage and being able to pull it off to the extent of the franchise it is today. I play Civ daily.
I'm glad to see that those kinds of comments are usually down voted as well. And compared to Twitter and what I've heard of Reddit, in general it is pretty good here. As I'm learning how the community works, I've been leaving "showdead" on so I see a lot of stuff, and the different color calls my attention to the worst of it, at least for now.

These types of conversations continue to pop up, with varying levels of civility. In your opinion, why is that? Do you think we eventually will find some sort of agreement? Will they diminish? How do they contribute to the community?
For the quantity over quality point, do you mean the standard library, or packages available on pkgs.racket-lang.org?
Why should people who break for lunch get special treatment? We need to go back to the good ol' days when workers lived in company towns and got paid in company scrip. Who do you think you are, living outside of the company's property and using your own money?
What do you mean? A lot of cameras today use SD cards, e.g. Nikon D810 / D500.
Most buy for the features. It's hard for a business to justify giving money to someone for nothing. I'm a big fan of selling something tangible, even if rather minor, rather than just a license. My guess is that I'd have 25% of my current sales if I just sold support/license.

I started Sidekiq Pro with just two major features: batches and metrics. http://www.mikeperham.com/2012/10/01/say-hello-to-sidekiq-pr... The rest have come out of customer feedback and demand.

Mediocrity can be mitigated by making expectations clear for advancing to the next level in the organization, and the compensation increase one gets.

For example, master these 5 skills at level I, and we then meet to set up a process for learning the next 5 skills needed to advance to level II. Once you advance, you get +20% salary.

I think that seems like a good way of incentivizing performance and continued learning.

Number 2 is: "you are working less on things that are great for the community and more on things that are great for your company" => I hope that at GitLab everything we do is good for the community. There is a split between working on great things that end up in the community edition and great things that end up in the enterprise edition (proprietary). Part of the community is using the enterprise edition, so those things are good for the community but at a reduced level. But I hope they are always things everyone can get excited about.
There is a similar slant against "academic" computer science.

As someone who went to college for CompSci, I see good reason for a slant against computer science. The problem is that it's the wrong topic for somebody who does software development!

What we do is not science, it's engineering. Much of the time spent teaching us the science aspect is wasted, at least compared to the opportunity to use the time on engineering topics like modeling and design, documentation, etc.
Here's a positive way to frame this: Maybe they hired you because they anticipate ramping up work but due to delays in other sectors of the company the ramping up is also delayed, but they don't want to fire you because it's not nice and they still anticipate the ramp up to be coming soon. "Once we finish X we'd have lots of work to give to him so let's keep him around".
Ireland, Sri Lanka, and Hispaniola, too. And the Canadian Arctic Archipelago became completely non-archipelagic.

Considering the resolution they were dealing with, I'd say they did a pretty decent job with that map.
This + 6 (vs 4) total ports and it will be pretty good.
Quasar might be the closest in the meantime. One problem is that blocking IO blocks all the green threads (fibers). It might be possible for Oracle or someone to fix that by wrapping NIO with green threads to implement the IO APIs. Most people will just use async NIO wrapped in fibers so it appears synchronous. Also with Quasar any calls to Thread sleep, wait, or synchronization block all the threads. It would not be an easy feature for Oracle to add but Quasar has been attempting to get merged into the JRE. For Java 9 they said they got some features added that improves the situation but Quasar instrumentation will still be required.

The Quasar instrumentation in my opinion is a pain. Out of the box you either get AoT instrumentation or you use Java agent command line option. Both were problematic for me in context of build processes, IDE support, etc. It's possible to do runtime instrumentation with no special command line option using the Quasar URL classloader and Ant task which scans classes to instrument.
I was just thinking about the continence of swapping sides. Unless it's possible to charge from all four ports at once. 4x charging would be cool ;).
Companies love open salaries. Why? They can now pay a developer with 5 years of experience and the developer with one year experience the same low salary for the same position.

Salary should be based on the individual (relevant experience and education) not just a job title.

Why would an employee give away one of the only bargaining chips they have to get a higher salary? When I was working a regular job, I was regularly able to negotiate a 20-30% higher salary than co-workers with the same title.
I'd argue it's not even how good you are but how good you negotiate. If you negotiate well transparency is not in your interest.
I've been looking at Dell and Lenovo laptops the whole night after watching the keynote.

It's obvious that their priorities and mine are too far off that it doesn't make sense for me to keep waiting for something that I'd like.

Their stuff is overpriced compared to other brands, and they keep neglecting most of their product line.

The Mac Pro hasn't been updated in 3 years. For this technology, it's an eternity.

Among "opportunity for improvement" and "a challenge", my preferred wording came from an American war movie: "Boss, we have a situation" was translated in French with "Boss, we have a problem". As if the original movie's character meant there was an interesting "new situation" about natural water cooling the nuclear reactor, while the French translation acknowledged that it could be a problem to have water pouring in a nuclear submarine at -3000 feet...
This is accurate. The absolute cheapest option is around $35k plus an annual membership fee (or a one-time few-k fee I believe). The more premium (but head-only) option is $80k plus annual membership fee. (A bit more if you opt for a standby team.) A life insurance policy that covers these amounts does not cost very much.

Calm down Malthus. Overpop has always been a slippery slope, and we've always been "on the tipping point!" You also pretend that culture and cultural attitudes are not important and potentially conducive to the success that a region has.
Working in finance and sponsoring science aren't mutually exclusive. Some open source tools that are now mainstays in the scientific Python stack originated in finance (pandas is perhaps the most prominent example). It's highly doubtful that any of these tools would have been funded using traditional grants, so... positive externalities ahoy!

Furthermore, firms such as DE Shaw and Renaissance Technologies directly impact research by funding parallel non-profit science organizations (DE Shaw Research and the Simons Foundation respectively).

So it's not really a zero sum game at all.
It's hard to say google invented either of those things with a straight face. Advanced the state of the art, certainly.

"What can be fairly read into the game? Civilization players have noted certain telling omissions in its historical arc. Slavery, the single-most important economic institution of recent millennia, is entirely absent in the series. "

If I remember correctly, in Civ 5 you could pop slavery to rush early wonders. Am I remembering wrong? Or maybe that was Civ 4.
Long term capital gains and qualified dividends (which is most of them) are generally taxed at identical rates. Capital gains have a choice of timing advantage over dividends. (You can choose to take them now, or next year if you don't want the income exposure this year.)

The holding period required for long-term treatment is more than enough to qualify for the qualified dividend treatment.

Yes, rich people always have better things. Technology and healthcare are no exception.

I'm not saying that the poor will ever equal the rich contemporaneously. They won't. What they will do is equal the rich of say, ten years ago (perpetually moving forward). That is the nature of progress.
I think part of what pcwalton and metajack are getting at is that Servo isn't "just a research vehicle" but rather intends to keep seeking adoption. I don't believe adoption and research are nemeses -- in fact, I'd say adoption is a core part of Mozilla Research's MO. I talked about this a little bit in a talk I gave this summer:

Amusingly, it's primarily the Remain camp's predictions of total economic catastrophe that have proven false.

One might even describe it as "emotionally charged rhetoric"

Not enough time? Perhaps, but forever is a long time. Quite possibly it's exactly our limited time that has us achieve great things. If you have all the time in the world why bother starting that business or learning that new skill today? Might as well start tomorrow ...

I've been following an older Canadian Couch Potato portfolio for a few years now. The market has been mostly growing since 2010 so it probably doesn't count, but it's been returning an average of 7-8% every year (dividend+gain). Even last year, when the Canadian economy didn't do well, its return was positive.

It takes more than 4-5 hours a year for me though. I invest a part of my income every month. It makes sense since I don't pay any commission on purchases, so YMMV.

Can you clarify what bad actors you're talking about?

The $5/month goes to whoever I visit the most (I am assuming this is not collective across all their users).

Are you're saying that sites will try to falsify who I'm visiting by redirecting my traffic?
Unknown. There is are reasons to believe that longevity isn't necessarily a bad thing however, and many reasons to believe that it could have global value. You have to remember that in such a rosy future, we still have the oceans to colonize, and then space. Longevity would bring problems with it, but they could be solved by sensible controls on birth rates.
They must be kicking themselves for spinning off Niantic. With Pokemon Go I guess their revenues in Other Bets segment would have been significantly higher. Why make bets in the first place if they're not going to see it through?
It would make no sense to de-emphasize servo. It seems like it would make a lot of sense to de-emphasize Quantum/firefox/everything mozilla is wasting their time and money on that isn't Servo.

I hope that either mozilla is lying for political reasons about their lack of intent to use servo outright, or that the servo team forks from mozilla and takes funding from patreon (or snowdrift when it launches) and builds something great, without the burden of mozilla and firefox.
My response was relating to an open salary company in general, but the process in the article takes it even further by having the employees themselves play a significant role in the decision-making.

If I consider myself a high performer, I don't want to have to justify my request relative to others at the company, or what they received, or what they used to win over other people to vote to give them more money that isn't theirs. That's going to put me in a position where I need to win a popularity contest, be around a while (to comment positively on others' raises), or wait a few more months so I don't look pushy and selfish to the entire company.

...because none of that matters if I just do an interview elsewhere and get what I want!

"we can lay out every block in parallel"

I wouldn't be so optimistic, especially with flexboxes and grids.

display:grid;
grid-columns: 1fr max-content 1fr minmax(min-content, 1fr);

The above requires intrinsic min/max width calculations (full layouts de facto) before you can even start doing layout of cells in parallel.

The same is about our old good friend <table> by the way where each cell is BFC.
We just got over the huge uproar when Apple removed the headphone jack from the iPhone. Once this sinks in I think the dissent will be even louder.

Not everyone uses headphones, but everyone eventually has to charge their laptop. When I think of the times I've been saved by MagSafe I shudder.
I had a similar issue back in 2000. I was a new grad making the princely sum of $50k as a DBA. The woman who trained me and was incredibly capable

Yeah, Bullshit. This is the problem with hacker news, you guys are driven by ideology (eg: hate Apple, love google) and are ignorant of technology so you make asinine statements like the above.

There's a warehouse full of patents difference between what AuthenTec used to sell (on a few phones that happened to run Android) and that TouchID became. For instance, lets start with the SecureEnclave which no Android phone has and if they did it would be less secure because there's no hardware division of google (Which means the keys were out of the makers control.)

What you are calling "pressure sensitivity" came out in the original iPhone in 2007. It's looking at deformation of the finger. 2007 isn't "years" after 2010.

I get it, you don't want to admit that Android is still a decade behind Apple, and is really just a creepy counterfeit of iOS, and so whenever Apple invents something you point to something vaguely similar that appeared in at least one Android that never shipped in any volume and was a total market failure, so you can pretend that Apple is behind the curve.

Your desperation is laughable, but your dishonesty shows you to be a person of low quality. Or you are a tech ignoramus.

Lets be generous and assume this site is staffed and moderated by ignoramuses.
