Not really, but it could easily be the case that most programming jobs suck. That is, it was clear to me from a young age that programming was my favorite thing to do, but the mundane, backward, pointless, political, and/or stupid nature of most jobs can make things unbearable.

My solution was to eventually either become a consultant/freelancer, or create my own startup. When I then realized that a tech lead (Staff Software Engineer) spends about as much time doing manager-related tasks as they do developing software, and that a Senior Staff Software Engineer or Principal Engineer is essentially a manager (almost no coding), I knew my days dealing with corporate world BS were numbered.

My plan didn't really fall into place, as I became a Targeted Individual (likely at the hand of one of the idiots managers I had to deal with) 2-3 years after graduating from college. That BS left me sitting in this room for the last 5-6 years being harassed all day long.

After a few years of the torture, I was pretty much done working, as I was now unemployed for too long a period of time, my intelligence and reasoning ability were waning away, and the harassing/intrusive thoughts were still present and were still getting in the way.
"Stack" and "heap" are implementation details. I don't think the C standard mentions those words at all.
If I release a product containing lactose, clearly state it contains lactose, and a bunch of people have stomach problems after ingesting it because they are lactose intolerant, is it my fault? Regardless on whether or not it was meant to be a 100% meal replacement?

This is a fairly ridiculous argument. People's lack of knowledge about their own food sensitivities is not Soylent's fault, nor should it be expected to be.

Extraordinary claims need extraordinary proof and until now there is no single proof or theory.

Pot kettle?
Of course there isn't a current Perl 6 book, the design was only finalized last Christmas. If someone had started before that, they may have had to rewrite large sections to keep up-to-date.

Books also take time to write, and the people who would write such books have day jobs.

To be fair the rate of questions about Perl 5 back when Stack Overflow started was fairly low too.

That isn't even the best metric, on the site anyway. The best metrics are how many are answered, and how quickly before someone at least adds a comment.
What's wrong with engineers making as much as CEOs?
For reference, I am the author of the Easy Passwords extension which uses a similar concept.

5. The user-specific part is the user name. As long as these two users don't use the same user names they won't have the same passwords.

6. Password generators typically solve this by implementing a revision counter that you can increase in order to generate a new password. LessPass has this functionality, can be seen in screenshots.

7. What is served over the web? LessPass is a browser extension, the page you see in screenshots is contained in the extension.

I obviously disagree with your conclusion. Password generators are a very nice tool, and LessPass isn't currently using the full potential of the idea. For example, Easy Passwords allows you to create a "paper backup" of your passwords - all the password metadata (website, user name, password length) is safe to be printed, yet as long as you remember your master password it is sufficient to recreate your passwords. Of course, occasionally you simply cannot change a password which is why Easy Passwords has a hybrid concept and allows storing some passwords in encrypted form (no paper backup there).

Why no. If you do not get why PostgreSQL is so much better than MySQL after reading so many people telling you otherwise, I guess I will not spend time on this task. There are some people prefering PHP over Python or Golang, too.

Just a hint: if you did not try PostgreSQL, just maybe give it a try?

And yes, MySQL kills kittens (i.e. potentially silently truncates data) at every UPDATE it receives.

Does your cat poop randomly everywhere? Or in one area? We had a Neato and it came with magnetic boundary tape, which worked rather well. I believe other brands have a similar concept with IR beams and such, which aren't as nice as the magnetic boundaries.
The thought of Hillary Clinton having access to this list to direct IRS targeting against people she doesn't like is frightening. Yes there is a precedent -- the IRS intentionally targeted conservative non profits. The Department of Labor targeted Peter Thiel because of his political views.

Radical leftists seem to enjoy using the government to attack people who don't support them politically. Remember First Lady Clinton got caught with FBI files of enemies in the White House. What possible use could a First Lady have for FBI files? Zero, none. Her with Google and NSA level data? God help us all. Perhaps we should have donated to her foundation to exempt us from her wrath.

I think I found a better alternative to Soylent called "Bertrand" (https://bertrand.bio/). It is made out of organic ingredients, tastes solid (just order the one with no flavor, it actually tastes better) and is hopefully more healthy since it is made from "real" natural powderized ingredients. So even if there are nutrition components (e.g. other micro-nutrients) which weren't researched properly till today (quite likely imho), they should still be in the drink since it's not made from artificial components.

I'm drinking it for two months now and I'm happy with it. Very convenient, fair price, available in a vegan & gluten-free version and it tastes okay-ish (like oatmeal).

P.S.: I'm not affiliated with this company in any way, just a happy customer.
About 20 million homes each year get rodent infestations. Even more have rats in them, but not at the infestation level. This is not limited to people in poverty or low incomes, either.

Commercial food prep facilities obviously should be held to higher standards, but this facility was basically the equivalent of doing it in their garage for test batch purposes, which I doubt you would bat an eyelash at.

I don't care about the standards they had as a startup before they had a commercial product. I care about the standards they have at the facilities creating the product I would be purchasing.

Can somebody modify the URL and remove the #comments from the end. It is annoying for it to jump right to the comments.
Yeah, if it works (which I'm not even sure that it would), it would bear a lot of resemblance to a computer virus and no resemblance at all to a nuclear bomb.
while writing c i found this free book helpful as a reference. http://publications.gbdirect.co.uk/c_book/
Yep, we still ran our robot vacuum at a previous house even though it was hard wood floor (helps with pet dander and such) and there were definitely a few incidences of it running over cat throw up while we weren't home. The brushes actually clean it up rather well, but it still gets all over the vacuum, and leaves wet throw-up streaks all over the floor, it's horrible... but not as bad as diarrhea, and carpet.... good god.

"Data Studio is not available in your country."

Why is this still a thing any more? Even more this is a product of a single company so no legacy licensing scheme (like for movies for instance) can be blamed :(
Good. It shows no activity. I've disabled every form of data collection and don't use maps (using Here WeGo with offline maps instead).
I was expecting a 'Paid for by the Clinton Foundation' at the end.
Nuclear does not necessarily mean a bomb
It mean something in the (atomic) nuclei or related to these. Forces, reactions, particles, etc.

Surely chain reaction is a member of this set, but not the only thing. Sure, most nuclear devices we hear about use the chain reaction (power plants, bombs), but an x-rax machine is also somewhat a nuclear device.

Sometimes we even induce neutron capture, which is the opposite of chain reactipn (afaik to create some special isotopes, or to start/sustain a chain reaction).
I hate the second quote. My great-gradmother wouldn't recognize all sorts of delicious cuisine from other culture's as food.

Interesting. I like the idea but the macronutrients are heavily weighted towards carbohydrates. For reference, normally 30-35% of your daily calories should be protein, while only 11% of the calories of Bertrand come from protein.
Although the WSJ has been firing people lately, I think they are doing OK, at least from a product quality standpoint. Perhaps letting go of some people is just the way to transition.

That's only a partial view. I could also say...many paintings that are considered art these days...big whooop they were just work for hire with specifications. Paint that daughter of this rich dude.
Same for classical music...we need some new song to wow people at our event...Mr. Bach, we need some new church music get going mate.

I'd say most interesting programming tasks certainly have elements of interesting artistic tasks. They usually involve a problem that is hard to put in words but needs solving. Especially in the startup context it's fairly close to art (imo) since your canvas is so empty...often you don't even know if you're working on the right problem to boot and will only find out through a process.
Is this during pledge drives or just all the time?
I've had this recently in the UK where the client is Capita, who do insist on it.
No, I started my programming career late and have had many different jobs before that. Programming is the only job where I don't loathe being there and constantly watch the clock for the day to end.

I think you should experience how horrible 99% of all other jobs are. Then you will truly appreciate what you have.
Those IoT manufacturers must be lucky then. They haven't been sued because of a insecure lightbulb yet.

If you have pets, and you or someone you live with has allergies, having a robot vacuum with a hepa filter is rather useful.
That is true, especially the vegan version lacks protein (in comparison to the "active" version). That's why I add rice protein to the drink to get up to 120-150g protein/day. Besides that I add also Acerola powder for more (natural) vitamin C.

> I'm currently relying on a custom token generated server-side

I don't understand. Where's this server? I thought the point of Firebase was that you don't need a server.
The developers do want to clean it up and build housing. The city (and residents) of Brisbane are the objectors. In this case I think the planned development would roughly double the population of Brisbane. It's understandable that they would object, but less sympathetic given how absurdly low density Brisbane is.
lol @ NYT acting like it's still relevant. That bastion of unbiased journalism is almost as big an embarrassment as the Guardian at this point. Seriously, if I want to have a good chuckle I'll just go to InfoWars or Drudge, they at least aren't ultra sexist/racist like NYT and TG these days.

If I want the news, my best source is honestly YouTube at this point. The legacy news media has shamed itself so abysmally in the past few years that a 20 y/o on a laptop with the wikileaks open is giving me more valid information than multimillion dollar news conglomerates who are warning me not to look at the wikileaks because it's illegal and maybe has Russian malware (looking at you _C_linton _N_ews _N_etwork).

I wouldn't even steal your neo-prog, third-wave, social-marxist drivel, NYT.

Belay that, I just tried to create a report and yes, it says the same to me. No clue if it's a matter of data sovereignty, privacy, legal, technical, or billing, and the usual non-information from Google.
What kind of apps do you build with Firebase? The lack of server-side logic must be really limiting.
Job interviews are useless
I think it's being consumed though, and it's not just Hollywood/America. I've noticed that streaming apps have completely changed my parents (Australian) viewing habits. The ability to sample something then quickly change if desired, has them experimenting constantly. This experimentation has them binge watching a new Scandinavian/French series every week.
There's no reason UIs should be laggy in 2016 on the very highest-spec Lenovo Thinkpad mobile workstation, but that's the sad reality of anything written in Electron JS (along with Electron's absolutely zero 4K Hi-DPI support on Linux, so I have to squint to read the microscopic text on Slack, Upwork, Discord, Messenger for Desktop, Whatsie, Skype for Linux Alpha, Atom, sometimes VSCode ...).
Yeah. Advertising budget and that fallacy where people associate cost with value.

I like programming, but I don't really feel satisfied working as a programmer. While in college I worked in a supermarket, I found that a lot more satisfying that what I do now - I don't really know why, but I think I just like dealing with people (although I'm quite an introvert, I can do it if my job requires).

As others have said programming is probably the lesser of all evils compared to other jobs though. I don't think there is any other profession where I could so easily get paid as much as I do, and work from pretty much anywhere on the planet.

My mid-term goal is financial independence. I'm 28 and should achieve that in the next few years (I'll probably take short-term contracts and then a big break between rather than quitting completely). I don't really have any other hobbies, so I'm not sure what I'll do then though. I wouldn't mind going back to university to study physics.
I see now I wasn't clear on that. I've updated the example to show that the paths won't be the same.
Not all people like programming. Some people do it only for the money. I internally call them "paycheck zombies", and I try to just stay away from them since they're a bit draining at times, and rarely lead to learning something new.

Some other people are more career oriented and seek professional growth. There are various lines of professional growth, in each stage of the SDLC. Even if someone is new to the industry, a good attitude will eventually lead to growth.
Yep. I was working in a startup (which eventually went public) for close to 6 years. Life became monotonous there and I really felt burnt out. I finally decided to quit and wanted to do anything but programming. 2 week later, I started missing programming again but this time I decided to freelance. I'm getting paid decently while I can do a lot in my free time. I've started reading books and working on small side-projects which I wasn't able to while working full-time
I would have thought that Zigbee had zero traction some years ago. But since then Hue (and Lightify and other Zigbee LightLink solutions) popped up and now are probably the most sold personal home automation things around. The manufacturers do want for sure to push the ecosystem and are announcing more products based on it. Compared to that Thread has next to zero available devices (don't know whether Nest uses it). So I think currently it's a bit too soon to talk of ZigBee being deprecated.
Zot zot zot! I started at UCI just after Cicerone left to head the NAS, but heard from everyone who knew him how wonderful he was. I did, though, have the pleasure of sitting in Sherry Rowland's[1] Chem H2B class for a week, before they demoted me back to the regular track for my B- in H2A. :-)

[1]: for those who don't know, Rowland won the Nobel Prize in 1995 with Mario Molina and Paul Crutzen for their work on the destruction of the ozone layer via CFCs. I believe that Cicerone received some recognition for his contributions to their work.
They are spammers. Last week they spammed my email address unused for years (but still harvestable) write email advertising their product under the pretense that I'll find it useful "as a build it user" (which OSS project I indeed used briefly many years ago).

Such poor judgement goes to show company culture. Wouldn't even consider them for any service after this.
Thanks for adding some clarity here. Apparently I missed some of the finer details.

There is a form for generating passwords right on the front page and it states nowhere that the browser extensions are the more secure / recommended way of using the tool.

Author here, it's still an early alpha but I'd love to answer any questions that you have. I also have some questions for you if you are interested in the project:

- What are the features that you think are most exciting?

- Where would you use it? What kind of projects? I have some ideas of use-cases, but I'd love to hear yours.
Even with the caveat that they mean only vacuums sold this year the number seems off. There are about 20 million sold each year in the US alone[1]. Assuming 20 times that worldwide, that's 80 million robot vacuum cleaners. If true that's an incredible level of sales for a product that's less than two decades old.

It really isn't.

Anyone in tech with two braincells to rub together could tell you that security is a hard problem. And yet there has been a consistent pressure in IoT enthusiasm which rested on the premise that security was a solved problem. Everything about IoT went against decades of hard-won wisdom about internet security: lessen your surface area, keep as much stuff off the internet (behind firewalls) as possible, constant vigilance through patching and staying up to date on vulnerabilities is important, use strong credentials to secure anything that could ever be reached from the internet. In short, that internet security was a big and difficult job, and a constant battle that required careful risk management.

IoT enthusiasts dismissed all of that and never had a good counter-argument, just the insistence that nothing, not even security issues, should get in the way of how cool IoT devices could be.

It was obvious that this would be a problem. And every security expert made mention of it. There is no "oops, well how were we to know?" about it.
Some sort of near eye light field display maybe? Funny company regardless with the hype updates and secrecy.
Perl 6 adds features, and hides complexity.

You are right that Perl 6 is more complex, but you will never see the majority of it until you decide you want to dig deeper.

If you write equivalent idiomatic code in both versions of Perl, the Perl 6 code will likely be less complex, shorter, more declarative, and easier to read.
In moments of madness I've considered both locksmithing and plumbing. Both are jobs that cannot be outsourced, and which SEO can be useful for.

That said I'm a sysadmin rather than a programmer, and I have no immediate plans to change.

One thing I would not do is become a photographer; that's my hobby (well that and rock-climbing / gyming), and I've seen too many people be burned by trying to become professionals. I charge money to shoot old ladies, hookers, and pets. But having to make a living from it would change how I viewed the subject and not in a good way.

Probably no reason other than that it takes time and resources to go through all the steps necessary to launch in a region (e.g. localization, legal etc), and it's more effective to get feedback on a beta product early in one region than to delay for many.
