I doubt that. Legalese such as TOS are, I'm sure, prepared carefully and a diff should be readily available.

I would assume one can challenge that valuation with the tax authority or through the courts. A building isn't actually worth €300k if it can't be sold for €300k. If I buy something from a third party for €100k today, it's worth exactly that.

> That simply is not true. Most of the people that likes commodities of UNIX, nice UI and long battery life in combination with nice hardware uses Macs. Even people who do not do any iOS development.

Citation needed. Some people like the mac UI sure, but there are people who hate it too. People who use a mac only because they have to to develop for iOS or OSX certainly do exist.
Yes! Got an internship with Twilio 5 years ago.
ok, so the main usage of emscripten is to compile C++ to javascript and then call them from the "normal" frontend javascript code? ie. most UI related frontend job will still be coded in javascript?

As to the question why, C++ is not only about runtime performance, it's a more mature language than javascript/typescript and there are powerful data structure/design patterns/algorithms that are missing from javascript. Of course I see it this way because I'm way more competent in C++ than javascript.

Shipping(A+B) is typically less than Shipping(A) + Shipping(B).

In most cases shipping is a cost that's associated with an order, not with the item. It makes sense to show it in the shopping cart.

Not really. It started well. The Euro currency was the great achilles heel, as it meant there MUST be fiscal harmonisation between countries that were arguing over the amount of meat in a sausage. That said the more I learn about USA and the states, especially the southern states, the more I realise we need things like TIPP and TPP and the WTO. The states generally hate being in a federal system.

I'm not the biggest fan of Linkedin, but this strikes me as quite cynical. I've been recruiting internally for a number of good startups and I've used salary transparency to advocate for better offers for prospective candidates. There will be a few bad actors as there already exist, but I do think this is a step in the right direction towards at least giving prospective employees a better understanding of their own worth.
Yes, thank you, you accurately recognized the ridiculousness of your initial proposition.
Very cool! It fetches Geolocation from the IP.

Could be beneficial on both sides. Image a woman getting an offer, she can see the average pay and compare hers to that, so she can request equal pay.

I find most companies are generally in the know on how well they're paying their employees (employee retention, counter-offers, etc), it's the employees that lack this information.
Shipping costs are not linear so they can only really be estimated from the entire cart

If it's a pure property tax (as opposed to a LVT) the simplest way to do it is to either (i) let the government set the taxable valuation but oblige them to buy the house at that price (plus a premium) if the owner disputes it or (ii) let the owner value the house but grant the government the right to buy the house at that valuation (plus a premium) if they dispute the valuation.

Both options have the side effect of potentially adding a bit of liquidity to the housing market in a downturn.

I was in Austin recently for a conference and was surprised to find no Uber or Lyft cars available. I asked around and found out that they had left, which left a bad taste in my mouth. Lyft also left Houston, apparently.

I tried one of the new ones, Fasten. It worked really well and had several features I preferred over Uber/Lyft. I think the whole thing kind of worked out for the better.

I'd love to port my favorite OSX apps to linux (ITerm 2, I miss you so much ;_;) but that website makes it almost a point to be as useless as possible.

Also, reading through http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/User_Guides , why does it talk about FileSystem Layout. Is GNUStep an OS ? I thought it was just a library. The whole thing feels a bit messy :|.
Founder here. I used to reply to every applicant individually because I couldn't believe someone wanted to work for my startup. But then that got to be burdensome so I set up a reply template, but even then people would reply to the template and continue the conversation. Then my co-founder pointed out that spending lots of time replying to everyone wasn't a good use of my time.

Point is it's nothing personal. If you're not getting replies, try to stand out more. Don't just send a resume, send a GitHub link to a project that's relevant to the company.

I get a dozen resumes a day (not joking), so give me a reason to not hit "Archive" immediately.
>Breaking out sales tax has caused a 9% sales drop in states Amazon charges sales tax in.

Note it's really "collects" sales tax in. Buyers still, in principle, owe use taxes on the purchase--which individuals often don't pay of course.

I don't think it's so much a matter of whether sales tax is bundled or not though. For big ticket electronics purchases, for example, the same item is often available for the same price with "free" shipping from other online resellers who don't collect sales tax--and is cheaper for many consumers as a result.
You mean the Unix subsystem they made just to claim POSIX compatibility, that they totally abandoned in recent Windows versions?
Slack seem to act like MS doesn't know anything about this market - they bought Yammer several years back. I think they know something about chat/groups/teams.
I really like the fact that Microsoft stresses the security of this product:

Broad compliance standards support
Data encryption at all times, at-rest and in-transit
Multi-factor authentication for enhanced identity protection

The only other thing I think they didn't mention in the feature set that Slack is much better is 3rd party API integrations.

> Yeah, let's forget the core suicidal issue and remove the tool, that will surely stop them, right?

Making it more difficult to commit suicide reduces the incidence of suicide. People who experience suicidal impulses but recover without having had the opportunity to attempt suicide (or who recover from a failed suicide attempt) are likely to seek help with either preventing the impulse returning or addressing the underlying issue that made them vulnerable.
I definitely appreciate that being a C and C++ developer, but you're sorely misled if you think that runtime carries over. Emscripten just translates the language to something usable through asm.js with a similar execution flow, but you end up running JavaScript. That's what it compiles to. Even WebAssembly is designed to run something that is consumed by the very same JavaScript runtime.
You can disable that, you know. It's one of the first things I do after an install.
Is there any interest in developing a newer, better standard or is this something we're going to be stuck with forever?

Interesting, I am a recruiter turned software engineer and have the exact opposite feeling. When I was a recruiter it was a fantastic way to find niche candidates and just maintain a casual discussion with my best candidates in general, as well as publish relevant news to my connections.

As I was undergoing the transformation to engineer, it was a fantastic platform for me to reach out to people in my new industry and city, people who had gone down my path before, mentors, and etc. Then when it was time for job search, LinkedIn and Angel.co had the highest quality postings. Also, on LinkedIn when looking at a job posting I could see if someone from my bootcamp or university worked there, as a link right under the job posting.
Windows Services for Unix has been discontinued for a while, so "since forever" is just flat wrong.

And who in the hell ever developed for it anyway? That was a niche, forgotten product if there ever was one.

This seems self-servingly reductive.

Your your interactions with them are subject to moral and ethical considerations just like any other, even though they are mediated by automatic mechanisms.

Why are you trying to bring about change with one hand tied behind your back? If there was a public vote about whether to outlaw the use DRM software would you vote against it on principle because, "if people really didn't want DRM, they wouldn't buy products with DRM"?

If a large enough segment of the population uses an ad-blocker it signals a clear and direct message to site-owners and ad network's wallets that you won't put up with ads and that they won't make money from you until they come up with a different business model.

Interleaving continuations is cooperative multitasking; Async is about non-determinacy: you have more than one process/job/thread/core/socket/&c. and you don't know when they will run or need servicing. (I.e. select().)

Broadly speaking async processes are not composable. We have "theories" like Communicating Sequential Processes, and things like the SPIN model checker, but a bunch of plug-and-play libraries that just work is a pipe dream, I'm afraid.

I've been curious about this - how is it to work for the porn company as a developer? Assuming you're comfortable with the X-rated content that is being distributed, any specific differences other than what you already highlighted? Was there any stigma when moving forward?

I don't think anybody is saying that macOS is perfect. It's more that historically for most of us, the set of trade offs that come with it are much easier to swallow than those that come with $DESKTOP_LINUX_DISTRO. In fact, that's the core of the problem: even now, after all that he missteps Apple has taken and after all the improvements desktop Linux has seen, macOS is still the more appealing option. This is frustrating because it suggests that there may never be another desktop platform with a set of pros and cons similar to those of macOS.
