> are laws that strictly prohibit my phone carrier doing certain things with data about my usage.

Unfortunately, that doesn't prohibit foreign intelligence agencies just hacking in and taking it anyway. https://theintercept.com/2014/12/13/belgacom-hack-gchq-insid...

(Pity that I can't see any way of having a cellular network that doesn't know which cell you're in)
So, how do you parse, read, and process JSON without additional instructions of how to interpret the data and what to look for?

All right, maybe you do have a common tool that implements a query language so that you can filter out certain paths and objects from the JSON data into a thinner data set with known formatting expected by the next command in the pipeline. Then you need to write that command and you need more instructions, possibly again in another language, to describe what you actually want to do with the data now that you know where to find it.

At this point you typically write a separate script file to do this because it's easier to express in full-blown programming language what you want to do with the tree of hashes and lists and values. On the other hand, programs for lines of text are quite short and fit on the command line.

I don't see an immediate value in structured data, and especially none that would outweight loss in general applicability and usability in comparison to text based data processing.

Don't get me wrong: I would love to see a good prototype or sketch of how such a thing would work, and then try to imagine how I might be able to apply it to similar things for which I use Unix command line today. But I'm sceptical of "how" and also quite sceptical of "why".

Lucidchard worked pretty well for me: https://www.lucidchart.com/
Their UniFi stuff runs on 24v PoE, rather than the standard 48v, so it requires either one of their switches or a compatible injector. Their cameras, oddly, do support standard PoE, however.
I believe this is what https://privacy.com/ does as well without the wait time.

I think that's kind of a stretch since regedit has been a part of windows as long as I can remember.
I like Ubiquiti and use them at home (switch and APs), they are the best at their price point in my opinion. They can't compare with expensive professional gear, and I'm OK with that, but what bothers me about them are weird bugs that makes you wonder about how much testing they do outside a few default cases.

They fixed the most problematic one, but I gave up and work around the other one.
What people say/believe they like isn't necessarily consistent with their behavior. Data-mining with sentiment analysis might be useful. ("'Wows' dropped 1.3% and negative-sentiment profanity rose 0.5% after the latest patch.")
I learned Emacs because I was interested in following the SICP and learning Scheme. The synergy between lispy languages and Emacs is just too great to look for another editor.

In that spirit, I'd say learning an editor with a steep learning curve just for the sake of learning isn't very effective - and that is probably the reason you end up frustrated. However, if you can find something else to learn within the editor - so that learning the editor comes as a side-effect - you'll progress much faster.

I believe this to be the reason I haven't been able to pick up Vim. Editors are tools - and if we see no use in the tool, we'll never get good at it.
What is the turnaround time you guys typically aim for? When considering what small improvements to make, does your algorithm factor in estimated time to complete various renovations, or is it purely an ROI calculation?
I'm in a similar position. I do use vim but only for the most basic of editing tasks. I certainly haven't made the switch - but I read this just the other day and it's at least addressing the issue that we have:

It seems that laws around healthcare actually have teeth as they should. Criminals in this industry actually go to jail and are punished, unlike, say, the financial industry. Clearly the pharma lobby hasn't had as much success in detoothing law enforcement.
I agree.

Can you define what an 'area' is for you? Thanks.
Hmm, I feel like in my job I write a lot of things that no one ever reads (issue notes, extra commit information, comments) with the expectation that it'll be helpful information if I or someone else ever does need to look to figure out why I did something.

And it has been helpful. I mean maybe about 1% of it is read later at some point and helps clarify a situation. 99% of it is never seen again. That 1% of the time it's really helpful to have it.

This reeks of Ruth Porat's cost cutting.
Honestly, `man awk' (or `man gawk') is good enough not to need anything else.
I learned awk this way over a decade ago.
The last one is compelling, but the new "editing language" and paradigm that's been put together is _really_ compelling. Being able to see what a "sentence" is going to do as you're typing it is a huge improvement on vim. I _love_ vim, but executing complex commands is like shouting into a dark tunnel and hoping the person on the other end understands what you were trying to say.
I learned vim about 2 months ago. I started by doing vimtutor and just messing around practicing a few nights. Then I forced myself to start using it for work. At first, things were really slow and a bit frustrating, but after a few days, I felt like I was editing faster than before. Then you pick up more and more tricks, and it just keeps getting faster. I would never go back now. And if you're the type of person who gets excited by learning little productivity boosts, you'll love it. I know if may seem like a Herculean task at first, but really, in just a few days practice your muscle memory will be there.

One possible counterargument in this particular case: if the game is balanced such that it's effectively pay-to-win (and pay a lot), one person who can afford this level of spending could easily encourage less well-heeled players to spend similar amounts, which in turn could easily harm those players' families.

This touches on several related questions, none of which have clear right answers. Who is at "fault" in addiction: the addict, the dealer, or both? If both, in what proportion? Is "gaming addiction" as dangerous / harmful as substance addiction? What constitutes harm to others, and how much harm needs to occur to deserve intervention? (For instance: some argue that the purchase of luxury diamonds causes harm halfway around the world where they're mined, to take one of the "harmless" examples listed above.)

In other words: I'd say it's very difficult to make categorical statements about the "rightness" of complete economic freedom to do what you want with your money. We prohibit all kinds of purchases, services, etc. based on prevailing answers to questions like those above, and those prevailing answers inevitably change over time. (They also vary wildly between countries, states, or even cities.)
I'm with you - I can remember copying a tape of french punk music from my high school language teacher and how I found it so fascinating that there was this whole other music and cultural thing happening that I'd probably never have access to and now I click on this globe and it pops right up.

I also want to add what a terrific user experience this site provides. It's "technically" no different than a list of radio stations from around the world, but the presentation definitely makes it seem magical.

The next step will be AR/VR where I can hold a globe in the palm of my hand and spin and poke at it to get radio stations.

I don't think this is all that surprising to be honest. Google is (by and large) a software development and services company, not a car manufacturer. If they make their own autonomous vehicles, that means they then have to handle everything from safety testing to customer support and sales in addition to the self driving car technology itself.

By working with existing car manufacturers, they can focus on their part of the deal (the technology) and let someone who knows about designing, building and selling cars do the rest of the job.
How do you judge those qualities? I too interview for a similar set of skills (intelligence, curiosity, a desire to constantly improve things, someone who's just willing to put in the hard slog as well as work on the fun projects) but it's incredibly hard!

I've definitely had people that interviewed well that just wanted JIRA tickets fed to them immediately upon starting. It's very hard to figure out if someone will seek out and make improvements consistently from the basis of conversations.

(I'm in ops so there's rarely a body of code available they can share for how they work, either.)
I've been using one at work for a while now and I love them, which to me was a huge suprise. Its a product that finally got almost everything right when it comes to a digital whiteboard. And yes to another point that was raised here certainly integration with Mircosoft services was a plus. Its great to have a computer interface that is remote on half the board and white board interface on the other. You can mock up while you have the specs inches away from your face on a huge screen so everyone in the room can read and interact. The skype integration kills it as well; there's been a number of times I've seen teams huddled around the board mocking things up with one or two people remote.
Caveat: I am well past my twenties.

I started refereeing futball/soccer. Since exercising doesn't appeal to me, I framed it as training. Because it's for money (but not much) the incentives to maintain fitness are partially linked to professionalism. The money also pays for 'my shoes' so to speak.

Some other dimensions that have work for me well enough that I continue to do it after six years are:

1. It's athletic and therefore there is a physical performance dimension. The athletic performance is non-competitive. It's more like dance than rugby.

2. Other than scheduling, there's very little organizational overhead. I find some games, show up, hang out around some soccer fields, get paid, and go home.

The downsides include being somewhat seasonal and the behavior of adults at youth matches. It isn't exactly for everyone.

Good luck.
heh, funny. But that's the point, deceiving is REALLY easy. But without trust and good faith, things start to get weird exponentially, it adds up. And so, as I saw in another article, truth becomes the roadkill.
love this article. the past paragraph is great - i often claim that stores do their best to drive me away by playing horrible music and making sure i am as annoyed as possible with no hope of being able to focus on purchasing something.
> exercise is now proven to be about as effective or more as an antidepressant

Do you have a source for that? Because this cochrane collaboration seems to disagree with you.

http://www.cochrane.org/CD004366/DEPRESSN_exercise-for-depre...

> Exercise is moderately more effective than no therapy for reducing symptoms of depression.

> Exercise is no more effective than antidepressants for reducing symptoms of depression, although this conclusion is based on a small number of studies.

> Exercise is no more effective than psychological therapies for reducing symptoms of depression, although this conclusion is based on small number of studies.

> The reviewers also note that when only high-quality studies were included, the difference between exercise and no therapy is less conclusive.

> Attendance rates for exercise treatments ranged from 50% to 100%.

> The evidence about whether exercise for depression improves quality of life is inconclusive.

There has been a more recent meta analysis, but it's a bit frustrating to hear people keep repeating the claim that exercise is a treatment for depression, or that exercise is as effective as anti-depressants. The proper claim is that exercise might help with "resilience" - it might help prevent depression or prevent a relapse.
If Microsoft has managed to make it "just work" (I don't know if they have, but that was the pitch IIRC), then I can understand the enthusiasm. Most of the existing solutions have all the features you need, but fall on their face in the case of reliability and ease of just setting up a meeting. Being able to say "no more 10 minute scrambles at the beginning of meetings to get the tech working" is probably worth a lot.
You can also use a cat or nothing as "helper".
Yes to all of this.

I write this to illustrate that you must have a significant batch of servers (about 5) in order to achieve costs savings (by using smaller servers) WHILE not affecting reliability.

Well, that is, if you care about rare cascading failures and performances issues.
I think this article gives good perspective regarding User Exp of system. Windows is made for much wider audience whereas UNIX is used by skilled people. I think its inappropriate to compare both philosophies with regards to this article.

Pick a fun activity that gets you fit as a side effect.

Mine was rock climbing, but cycling, snowboarding, surfing or pretty much anything will work, provided it is captivating, addicting and you genuinely consider it fun. Eventually you'll want it to be the thing that takes up your weekends and that you find yourself booking flights to unexpected places just because that's the place where the best "X" is.

But nobody does this. Instead, they go to a health club and lift a few weights or spend half an hour hating the stairmaster. Twice. Then they give up.

So don't do that. Buy a mountain bike, take it out in to the woods. Get muddy and come home sore. Wait until you're not sore anymore than go back and see if you can get farther down the road before ending up in the bushes. Make sure you always come home with a smile on your face, and repeat until you find yourself researching powerful LED headlamps so that you can get out after work in the winter.

Then you've won.

Obama himself wanted single-payer healthcare, but was unable to get the support of conservative Democrats for that. What actually passed was based on the Republican proposals made in the 1990s in response to Hillarycare, and almost identical to the plan that Mitt Romney helped develop and pass in Massachusetts and which he (Romney) said should be the model for the nation. The individual mandate was originally suggested by the Heritage Foundation in the 1980s.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_Protection_and_Affor...

Every Republican voted against it. At no point did Republicans in Congress try to improve any of its manifest flaws, but instead they held hundreds of symbolic votes to repeal it and return to the status quo ante (which, prior to that, everyone had agreed was unacceptable - no presidential candidate of either party in living memory had failed to include healthcare reform in their platform). Republicans who had never objected to the individual mandate when they proposed it now claimed it was unconstitutional (Obama didn't help, by claiming for political reasons that it is not a tax). Romney ran for president on a platform that his healthcare plan was a good idea when he did it but a bad idea when Obama did it.

To liberal ears, it's really hard to explain how this was a principled stand against wacky liberal ideas run amok, and not simply an attempt to regain power by obstructing even previously-bipartisan ideas, even at the cost of damaging the country, to ensure that the other side couldn't take credit.

If HP have actually followed the ATOs data retention policies, and if it was just two SANs going down, then theoretically this could just be a hardware failure where all the data is safe.

But I doubt HP did follow the policies to the letter.

I hope the ATO are incentivised by the loss of revenue to push for high penalties, but I see them paying HP to fix something that they likely could have anticipated: back pressure on the backup machine.

I think for China it's a bit more complicated since you didn't pay Blizzard for keys to open lockboxes which decides what drops. In Diablo 2 you farmed like everyone and that pursuit was fun in itself. Whereas these companies and their games are basically digital slot machines where you farm for the lockboxes and then spend extra to just open them in the hopes you get any return. I remember reading about one woman in China who literally spent thousands of US equivalent dollars on this. It's really sad and it should be treated like gambling where you are told your odds.
Yes I remember that, but it was only one card. :-)

If you don't have any formal experience, you aren't going to have much luck with agencies. They're strictly looking to put round pegs in round holes - match up the experience and education credentials and listed skills with the company's posted requirements. But that isn't the only way to get a job. You're going to need to convince somebody with some hiring authority to take a chance on you.

This usually entails hanging around at tech conferences, meetups, user groups, and other such in-person social networking events, including more business-focused ones. Do things to contribute, and talk to people. You'll want to focus on smaller companies without a lot of strict hiring requirements. There are decent companies out there willing to hire junior people without a lot of formal experience. Flip side is that agencies also evaluate the companies for you before you even know anything happened. You won't have this, so you'll have to be more careful about checking out any company you might work for. You probably won't find your dream job right off the bat, just find somewhere you can build something with actual users, make some money, and learn things, and start building a resume. You might luck out and end up somewhere awesome, or you might find yourself somewhere you just want to get enough experience at before moving on.
Jap, if you can, just start walking every day.

If (after an hour or two after your walk) your legs don't hurt, try it with a longer walk the next day. Whenever your find your temporary limit: Don't surpass it every day. Start slow and see if you can surpass your "last temporary limit" a week later.

In my personal opinion: If you don't like walking: Try to like it (try it for a week). Otherwise try to find something that you like. For me it was bicycling (also to technical stuff like tuning your bike). If you have the impression that you are to overweight for most sports: I think you will have to like swimming ... ;-)

Some people also like this "Gamification" Stuff (Smartwatches etc.) ... depends on if you need to motivate you every day.

For me i found a simple rule: Just do it (not a sponsored catchphrase). Just get up and do your little 10, 20, ... 60 min workout. Don't think about it. Think about something else that you are keen on. Think about your work (most ideas i had for software problems came while i was on my bike).I think ist also OK to get a nice sweet after your workout (of course: be fair to yourself!).

So whatever you are going to do: Do it, don't think about it every day, let it be a habit, but find something that you like somehow. People that are walking are mostly liking the nature and the quietness.

By the way: don't stress yourself with "getting fit fast". If your getting fit fast, probably your bones will suffer.

AAAANNNNDDDD now the benefits:
1: If something got a habit, its not so easy to get rid of it!
2: If you are sporting outside (fresh and clean air) you will probably soon notice that your are not getting thick so much.
3: Mostly (if you are not exhausted every time) you will experience a "sharper" mind. First, just some seconds and later on for longer (like an hour or two). I was amazed when i actively noticed this. Its like the programmers flow... but without actually programming.
4: You know the other stuff: self-esteem, mental vitality

Ah, by the way: Try to eat something healthy. I think its always hard to completely change your eating habits, but change it step by step. For example: Eating a banana and an apple after your workout. Nothing more. You will also soon experience a difference if you "accidentally" missed your banana and apple ...

Greets,

I'm curious to hear how folks how adopt GraphQL handle server side schema changes over time. I'm all for the idea of not breaking clients almost ever [1] but sometimes you need to coordinate between client and server logic; how do you do that if the dependency of any client can literally be your entire db schema? Perhaps there is a subset of the server side schema that is designed to be GraphQL-able and is kept very stable over time?
