"It would be interesting to know how many people subscribe and unsubscribe to Netflix for a single show."

I haven't subscribed ever for just a single show but I tend to subscribe for one month to watch a few shows and then unsubscribe for maybe 3-4 months before returning.

I have a UK account but live most of the time in Spain. The offering is similar in size. I have bothered a couple of times to go via vpn to get the US version but not found it so much better that it's worth the extra effort.

I have an amazon prime account too that I have never cancelled. Partly because I sometimes use the free delivery option when I'm in the UK but also with amazon I find new stuff worth watching tends to come along a bit more frequently.
I think a slow-motion lawn mower could work. More like a turtle that crawls around cropping the grass. Always there; maybe solar powered; keeps creeping around and gently munching the tops off the taller stems.

I hate programming as a job. Spending all day sitting at a computer with little human interaction outside of the person next to me and having to concentrate for hours on hard problems is really bad for my mental health. Most programmers seem to either burn out, or spend their day trying to avoid programming by going to meetings and so on.

There is also an extreme amount of micromanagement at my current job. I just get very specific issues and then resolve them. There is no autonomy. The project manager just sees me as a typewriter for his novel.

Jobs where I have been physically active and interacted with a bunch of different people that I don't work with have been much better in terms of my mental and physical health.

I am thinking of dropping down to part-time as I could manage 4 hours per day of programming, and maybe getting a physical job as the other 4 hours.

Edit to my own thread - I actually did go back to college for a Master's in Software Engineering. It was neither quick nor easy for me, but in the end I did get a degree and have had a pretty successful career for some years now. However, I agree with all the other comments that a degree isn't necessarily required and sometimes wonder if it was even worth the effort.

Your small dive prompted me to create a simple version of what you were describing [1]. I didn't use my usual editor, and just used the cljsfiddle itself.

I really wanted to create a spec for the data in app-state, and check the value in the app-state atom each time I edited it (perhaps with an add-watch). That gets you many of the same advantages of static typing, but you only add the extra insurance when you think its worthwhile instead of always.

Instead of using strings for time-choices and page-choices (in the code at [1]), you can use maps like

[{:title "Day" :time 24}, {:title "Hour" :time 1}...]

and expand when nessicary. It shouldn't be too difficult to keep them in sync this way.

You might want to check out clojurescript again sometime soon. Clojure.spec (and cljs.spec) are going to offer a huge jump in usability. Clojure.spec is a tool kit, and specs are basically definitions of data, that can be used for parsing, unparsing, and generating that very data. The beginning of this (interactive, cljs driven) blog post shows clojure.spec off a bit.

In 5-10 years EU won't even have comfortable infrastructure for EVs, so no, no, petrol car makers will be fine.
I've never even heard of that, and I would consider myself a heavy youtube user.

But i'm just one person, so that doesn't mean much, but do you really think they are just removing features to spite you?

What about the fact that every feature has a cost, and by removing it they remove that cost. How did that custom grouping work on mobile? on TV's? on youtube gaming? If it's not supported everywhere, it feels buggy and incomplete, which is bad not only for their image, but also for usability. What was it's discoverability? How important of a feature was it really to you?

It's easy to use these things as examples of "something they took away", but i'm confident that if I were put in their exact same situation, I would most likely make the same choice, and i'm sure i'm not alone here.

A somewhat impolite yet factually correct (and funny, therefore memorable) way I've heard the same idea expressed is given some factoid that the average male brain thinks about sex every fifteen seconds (or minutes or whatever bogus factoid), any product that isn't hard core pr0n is not what at least half the customers actually want. Obviously this has much more psychological impact when stated in a high school drama theater class than when stated at an actual pr0n shoot where I guess people are more open minded to the reality of it.

This is an intellectually lazy and overly cynical view of human nature. The reason politicians seem so terrible is not that they were the dredges of human morals and character to begin with, but because a) power corrupts, b) the stronger the light you shine, the worse every flaw looks.

Do you ever make mistakes in your job? Things that, in hindsight, were non-optimal? Of course you do! And in most jobs that's not a big deal, but when you're a head of state, even a slight error in judgment can get you torn to pieces in the press. And since positive news isn't news, most of what anyone hears about a given president will likely be bad, so inevitably you've mostly heard bad things about what a president (or national-level politician) has done in the past. Hence, everyone seems terrible.

Wow, that's a brilliant way to keep senior talent longterm.
Eh, Telegram looks more insecure [1] AFAICT. Sure, Signal will not stand up to high threat models due to hardware failings (backdoored baseband RTOS, missing dual backup RTC batteries for secure boot) and software failings (insecure Android), about the only thing designed to be attacked like that is a terminal like a Pax S80 or a Verifone VX520 and they do a bunch of fun stuff with magnetic tamper sensors, conductive wires that tear on opening, heat sensors, etc.

Then again, that isn't the threat model Signal is designed for, and if you are looking to protect against that type of threat model you could totally design hardware to support it for not too much (see Blackphone) and throw Replicant on there (with some development of course). Then, if it were Signal vs Telegram, the latter would likely be your security weakness.

Sounds like poor expectation-setting by whoever sold you on a Roomba. I have two dogs and a cat and keeping up with their fur is a full time job. Much easier to run the Roomba once a day. Yeah I have to keep the floor free of large debris, but I should do that anyway so I don't mind.
Not breathing or being dead is surely a disadvantage when starting a company, but just because you breathe and you are alive does not mean you will be able to sell that as a core value. Tech must be only good enough. No customer cares about it unless it annoys the hell out of them. It's not Uber's USP.
I stay away from web and mobile. They change too much, have too many layers of technology to potentially fail.

Also, web tech isn't nice to work with...
Not sure about that analogy. Ingredients tend to get mixed together in many ways to make many different kinds of meals.

You can only watch one show at a time, and the marginal effort of "travelling between stores" - flipping from Netflix to Youtube/Amazon/HBOGo/Etc, is essentially zero.

Sure. This is why Apple doesn't have the consumers best interest at heart: they prioritize business over building tools that function well with the assets people already have. But you didn't buy those, right, so they don't have value.

Not much would happen. Big chunks of what constitutes OS X is already open source. Nobody runs GNU/Darwin the same way nobody runs Plan 9.

Apple's market is primarily geared towards people who aren't interested in the tech and are paying for the logo. After all, anybody who wants an OS X equivalent system who knows what they're doing can buy a bog-standard PC and run some free unix on it with GNUStep. So, the licensing for Apple products doesn't matter because Apple's market excludes anybody who cares too much about licensing (or anything other than branding).
To be honest, this isn't the best list, it's a bit too blog heavy. I've started reading up on ML only recently but here are my recommendations.

Hmm. Select boxes seem kind of important.
The first example has the duplication that the blogpost complains about. The second one doesn't use tagged union types, so you don't get the case statement coverage checking that the author wanted (if you want the tagged union, the task of converting it into a list is pushed to the client of the library).

Tesla will do to the legacy auto companies what Apple did to flip-phone companies. But it's not because legacy auto companies are bad at design (which they are), it's because they all, without exception, suck at software.

Not one of them will be able to touch where Tesla will be in a few years from a software perspective, and that's where all the differentiating value will be in the coming wave of new automotive technology.

If you purchase something from a location based ad, the advertiser is going to have your billing and shipping information, so that's just splitting hairs at this point.

You're thinking of keyword advertising, not display. AdWords can do both display and keyword advertising, the latter of which is different. Advertisers don't see demographic information about who clicks on their search ads because they can can only target by keywords, so your theory of leaky data doesn't apply there either.

That's also the second time you've moved the goal posts as you've learned more about how online advertising works. Kind of reminds me of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman

Re: compilers; as I understand it, using a GPL compiler doesn’t extend its license unto the produced binaries. Those vendors could be using GCC instead, and still contribute to its development without danger of jeopardizing their intellectual property.
Exactly this. I've never heard of CloudRails, from my own development experience, on conferences or meetups or posts. Retrofit (1&2, Volley, those are the libraries that deserve mention there. "Database" category having just two libraries is like someone didn't want to bother, since Android has a lot of ORM libraries and also databases like Realm.
Date & Time doesn't even have Joda-Time for android, DI links to Dagger which is deprecated in favour of Dagger 2, Functional includes only Retrolabmda, no even mention of RxJava and all the libraries surrounding it, Camera is missing some most popular camera libraries, Logging doesn't include the most used one - Timber, Image doesn't include Picasso or UIL... I don't feel like scrolling anymore, there is a lot missing, especially since the list is called "Best Android Libraries".
If they'd use Opus I'd really appreciate it, hell, if I could even get interop, I have hacked together an app to pass the ZRTP codeword to my deskphone when Freeswitch terminates it and reencodes it as SRTP/TLS for it, since no deskphone vendor supports ZRTP.

Would make those that insist on ZRTP in my life a lot more convenient to have extended convos with.
It depends on the company culture and the individual's personality. There are also two orthogonal issues, taking care of personal business during normal business hours and inefficiencies in the the internal workplace process.

At a high level of abstraction, being on hold because of a dependency indicates a problem in a business process. Fixing the problem or mitigating its effects seems like a responsible thing to do. On the other hand, if there is some pressing personal business, down time created by the inefficiency might be a good time to schedule the time away from the office.

My random advice from the internet: look around and see what your co-workers are doing. Talk to your boss. Keep in mind the type of person you want to be and to become. Consider the possibility that a job without enough interesting and important work to keep you engaged is more likely to hinder your career over the long term than advance your skills.

Good luck.
Sure, but neither Heidelberg/Mannheim nor Stuttgart and Wolfsburg really are that meet the criteria that american people consider "big cities".

We don't have that many million people hubs in Germany so it's more common. And even with "Wüstenzulage" many Engineering salaries at VW are nowhere compared to SV salaries for engineers.
Probably depends where you live. I imagine it would be tough, especially for a one-income family. In Australia however the minimum wage is $17.70/hour, or $22.12/hr minimum if you're a casual worker, so I assume baristas here earn at least that much.

If that's happening you've got far worse things going on than having a nginx.conf file around.
Lambda is already limited enough when it comes to how you can write the functions. I'm not even sure how you'd write a generic JS/Python/Java function on DPL, unless its got some functionality which I'm not aware of (through a custom shell command bootstrapping your language environment maybe?).

Actually the Adidas logo was quite out of place in that movie for me - the color was really out of place in the scene (probably to draw attention), they usually try to balance the colors in the scene and this really broke my immersion. The Surface part on the other had was nice, it didn't sacrifice anything and it added an interesting detail.
In reality, few drivers on German roads go faster than 70-80mph. Mostly due to traffic, but even with free flowing traffic the minority drives much faster. It's nice to be able to drive fast if you have to, but a lot of people (especially on the country side) are very environmentally conscious, which doesn't go well with driving 120mph.
Also Maxwell's equations only give you part of it - for the question of why an atom's electrons don't just fall into the nucleus you need QM. And then you get into the self energy of the electron which is not explained by any present physics (http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/II_28.html).
