I'm in marketing and working remotely is kind of a pain in the ass, to be honest. I typically want to have in-person chats with product managers, developers, etc. about something or other on more or less on a daily basis.

I'm a huge fan of remote work, I've had a full-time remote position previously, I just think sometimes it doesn't work with the culture of a team or business. I don't think that means anything is broken.

I'm buying a sailboat with my wife and daughter and sailing the world in 18 months (waiting for the last of my options to vest). Think about it! It's ~$60-100k to get the boat, and you can live on ~$24-30k/year doing it. There's a huge community out there of cruisers who do it full time.
Pretty much! I'd also include narrative answers about challenges overcome, accomplishments, etc. and boilerplate about how great the company is, respectively.

It's critical to have the interviewer side fully automated as well, so the bots can all talk to one another and just ping us when things match up. Imagine the hyper conversations from the movie Her, but for jobs.
Side note: having hobbies unrelated to your day job is perfectly normal and healthier, imo, than spending all of your time on one thing.

Life is all about balance.
Most of the time when someone loses a finger on a table saw, it is because they were doing something that they know better than to do, or because they didn't know that a particular action is high risk. What really helps is to initially work with someone who knows what and what not to do, so they can correct any bad techniques that you have.

Common errors are things like trying to cut a piece that is too large / awkward, resulting in the wood pinching the blade, and also getting your fingers too close to the blade. Get used to using push sticks to push the wood piece through. Typically you'd make up a couple of them with notches in the ends, or with a rubber tip. If you are doing certain types of cross cuts, the table saw has a couple tracks and a jig that runs along them, to move the piece through. Also, most important, is to set the blade height correctly, so not much of the blade is sticking out through your work piece.

Of course, I've always wanted a computerized setup, where you specify where the cut should be, and the work piece gets robotically placed on the table saw and precision cut. (they have this in some of the larger cabinet shops).
How is Tim Cook still CEO of Apple? Forget sales for a moment and just consider the damage Apple's brand is suffering. $300 books, headphone jacks, unreliable cloud services, missed product launches. In may ways Apples becoming the butt of jokes, a symbol of ignorance. Apple's in total disarray right now and the most loyal followers, myself included, are either jumping ship or seriously considering. The mistakes being made are all, without question, completely avoidable and yet here we are. So I ask again? Why benefit is Apple gaining keeping him on?

"that case" is every case unless you know and control exactly which OS, on which (potentially virtual) hardware and under which circumstances your code is going to run, now and in the future.

That excludes anything that is meant to be used by other people. Fragile security is no security, and relying on undocumented assumptions like "is not running on Linux", "starts late in the boot process" and "is not running on an VM" is incredibly fragile.

Unfortunately people who really should know better keep writing articles like this one, dispelling the "myth" that urandom works exactly as documented.

Which leads us to situations like this:

$ dmesg|grep random
[ 0.469142] random: systemd-tmpfile: uninitialized urandom read (16 bytes read, 3 bits of entropy available)
[ 0.470297] random: systemd-udevd: uninitialized urandom read (16 bytes read, 3 bits of entropy available)
[ 0.470325] random: systemd-udevd: uninitialized urandom read (16 bytes read, 3 bits of entropy available)
[ 0.470877] random: udevadm: uninitialized urandom read (16 bytes read, 3 bits of entropy available)
[ 0.470890] random: udevadm: uninitialized urandom read (16 bytes read, 3 bits of entropy available)
[ 0.471936] random: systemd-udevd: uninitialized urandom read (16 bytes read, 3 bits of entropy available)
[ 0.471950] random: systemd-udevd: uninitialized urandom read (16 bytes read, 3 bits of entropy available)
[ 0.471969] random: systemd-udevd: uninitialized urandom read (16 bytes read, 3 bits of entropy available)
[ 0.472132] random: systemd-udevd: uninitialized urandom read (16 bytes read, 3 bits of entropy available)
[ 0.472142] random: systemd-udevd: uninitialized urandom read (16 bytes read, 3 bits of entropy available)
[ 1.909082] random: nonblocking pool is initialized

Oops, hope none of that was for anything important, say generating a long-term cryptographic key! But of course if we're to believe TFA... "Fact: /dev/urandom is the preferred source of cryptographic randomness on UNIX-like systems."

Just use getrandom. If you can, consider using only getrandom. But if your code must work on systems without getrandom or similar, before following the advice of this article, ask yourself if what you are doing is worse of blocking, or reading out a grand total 3 bits of entropy. You'd probably prefer the former.
good detailed write up.

There were probably opportunities for the author to architect the system in ways that were better suited to node (given that was the chosen platform), but the architecture choices were not unreasonable by design. These are some good things to consider when architecting a system, and considering node as the platform.

I'm not sure I agree that node is the "perfect for simple CRUD apps" though

Yeah the problem with digital vs analog is digital is "all or nothing." There's no fuzzy picture, there's either a picture or no picture. Which sucks!

Hard to say for sure, but when I've told people to go to sites with new TLDs, they ask if '.com' is at the end, and seem skeptical when I assure them I gave them a full domain.

Interviewing and hiring interaction for seasonal workers.

We hire tons and tons of IC's two times per year. We run into bottlenecks due to time on the phone during interviews. If there way a consistent way to screen talent it would save us a ton of time.
Fig also has a really, errm, interesting corporate structure. Basically, investors get non-voting shares in a Fig subsidiary whose upside is capped at some fixed proportion of the income from the game, with Fig acting as the publisher - except without any of the usual tools such as IP ownership that publishers use to ensure games they invest money in pay up. Investors themselves also don't appear to have any standing to sue if the game developers simply refuse to pay up. There's also conflicts of interest all over the place between Fig, its subsidiary, and the developers it's handing over money to, with huge overlaps in board membership. The information for investors made for very interesting reading, though I do wonder how many investors actually read it.
Um, you did hear about the failed Human Resources campaign, right?

GPG went under right after that campaign (October 2014). Technically they got bought out, but who knows if the new owner wants to make the same kinds (or quality) of games.
Your first reason for him being a bad CEO is a $300 book. A lot of companies have these type of books which are also costly, I don't think it's a good idea to start argument about him being a bad CEO with a book example.

Chris Taylor left Wargaming back in November, and while I'd expect Wargaming to be doing something with the TA franchise, based on their other games, I'm not sure that it is a game that TA fans are going to be too excited about.

Exactly what @nsfyn55 says except when I toy with "raw" swift - that is, no Cocoa and such - I often just use tmux+vim. Of swift specifics in my vim setup, I use the official swift vim plugin and a couple of tslime.vim mappings for starting, stopping, testing and building swift from vim in a separate tmux pane.

I have the tslime.vim mappings set up as autocommands with specifics for python, rust, swift, haskell.

JITD (Just in time development): where you know that you aren't going to get specs that match the data you'll eventually need to parse, so instead of writing the code to do it you just wait until you get the actual data file and then bang out the code to parse it an hour before you're supposed to demo.

If nothing off-the-shelf works, then you may need either a customization of an existing product or an entirely new product. If there's nothing out there like it, then this is a competitive advantage for your company and you should consider investing significant resources into it. Hire a developer or consulting company that creates such software.

Just keep in mind that maybe 1 in 5 of those projects actually succeeds, so do a lot of due diligence up front. Don't go with "lowest bidder" and make sure your project manager has profound domain expertise and works very closely with the development team.

Paying twice as much to a proven implementor is worth it if the lowest bidder fails to pull off the project. In that case your rate of return is going to be rather bad.

I've started writing a novel in Sublime using Markdown syntax with a spell check plugin and word wrap. Not sure if you're doing something different for legislation, but I imagine that setup would work pretty well for documents with lots of sections, bullet points, etc.
I bailed out of the industry during the dot-com crash -- actually, almost exactly the night before! -- and eventually became a climbing instructor and indoor climbing center manager.

I ended up in debt but to this day it's still the best job I ever had and despite all the work I've had to put into getting my life back on track financially, I'm still glad I did it.

I came back to IT about 10 years ago, but now I have a whole pile of non-IT skills and interests that I can dive into whenever I need a break, so burnout is much less of a problem overall. Working as a climbing instructor and gym manager also helped me learn how to talk to people and have a little bit of fun now and again.
I think I read that incentives only really work for mundane repetitive work. For anything intellectual or creative it is neutral or even negative.

Whatever I have read is that it's really very difficult to first obtain enough radioactive material and then to spread it out. The same is true for biological weapons. Even if you have a very dangerous virus you still have to contaminate a large enough number of people.

Much easier to buy guns and shoot people or run a truck into a crowd.
No, it's a fine example, and makes a succinct point.

Sailboats are a lot cheaper than people think. Did you know there is no technical definition for "yacht"? In practice, it just means "a boat that's nicer than yours". Don't buy a yacht.

In Seattle there are plenty of sailboats under 30' that cost less than $10K. The moorage is the expensive part and costs around $400/month.

I consider it normal to not work on side projects. How many other industries consider it normal to work 40 - 50 hours a week and then your "free" time working on other projects? Everyone I know clocks out and does something completely unrelated to their work in the off hours.
> if Indiegogo will even be able to get this past the SEC

It is already legal, the SEC passed Regulation A+ in 2015. Companies must be approved by the SEC for Regulation A+ and then they can sell their offering to unaccredited investors. There is limitations in number of investors and the dollar amount of investments.

I work for Issuer Direct and we help companies apply for Reg A+ and get funded.
I am genuinely curious. Please elaborate the misunderstanding. Thank you.

Something I'm finding interesting is how so many of these deep-learning neural nets use RELU for their activation function; RELU is known as a "lazy engineer's activation" function - very simple to implement, and despite looking like a hack, seems to work very well for many tasks.

I tend to wonder - beyond "ease of implementation and good 'nuff" reasons - if there are other reasons to use RELU, over other activation functions like TANH or Sigmoid?

I'm beginning to suspect that we may be seeing the "engineering side" of neural networks coming into play; that instead of using the more "biologically accurate" activation of the sigmoid function, we instead use RELU (and other ELU derivatives) because it works well, and is easier to understand?

Much like how things progressed better in heavier-than-air flight once engineers realized that flapping wings weren't absolutely needed, and low-weight engines turning propellers, with fixed wings, worked better for flying than what nature uses...?
"they start by getting a darker patch in the bottom of one of the tubes"

Tubes? Presumably you're talking about CFLs, not LEDs? 5 years ago, household LED lamps were still in their infancy and were really expensive.

My experience with CFLs was pretty similar to yours. They didn't last, and dimmable ones especially would often fail within months. And the quality of light from fluorescents was never all that good anyway.

But out of around 25 Philips LEDs I've installed, most of them dimmables, not a single one has failed or had any problems so far. The oldest ones were installed around a year ago now.
It's a hobby project that keeps designers feel valued and most companies do it. Some release it, some don't. But they all do it.
You missed the point. Getting 100% or 120% of your bonus target says, "you're an awesome leader and people should respect you". Getting 89.5% says "get your life together". It's about pride and bragging rights. Nobody wants to go down in history as the one who led apple's implosion.
Nope, CT wasn't involved in PA, but a bunch of other Cavedog vets, including Jon Mavor, one of the main developers on TA, were.

I'm of the opinion that another CT RTS would be a project of 50/50 potential for TA fans. I love SupCom only a little less than I do TA, but I'm not a big fan of SupCom 2. On the other hand, some other old TA vets weren't big fans of SupCom, only to find themselves really liking SupCom 2. I never played PA, but I'm pretty confident I would be meh on it.
My company gives out bonuses in the range of 10%. I really appreciate that but it's not large enough for me to change my work. It probably makes me stay longer with the company.

If my bonus was a multiple of my salary I would probably think more about increasing the bonus at any cost.
Are you sure you replied to the right comment? I was correcting a misconception that three clicks equals two clicks, not stating an opinion about the issue. It takes me 30 seconds at most to readjust to a different browser's context menu, and I don't complain about it. I'm certainly not an "old-Opera diehard" as you suggested; I haven't used that browser in over a decade and the only thing I ever liked about it was the email integration, as I stated in another comment.

As far as the SEC is concerned you are correct, but it's possible to have additional (contractual) restrictions placed on a stock grant.
Notepad++ for python / javascript development for more than 7 years (hint: I use MS windows for my development environment). IntelliJ Idea for Java.

I have tried to replace Notepad++ over the years with nearly every other possible editor/IDE that runs on windows (vim, atom, VS code, sublime text) but always found Notepad++ a much better solution for my needs. Some of its strong points:

- Really fast with a very small memory footprint. Written in C++ !

- Free (GPL)

- Supported from its author for lots of years

- Nice syntax highlighting

- Cool integration with Windows File Explorer

- All editing options I want are there and easily configurable (tabs to spaces, strip trailing space etc)

- Allows comparing files (diff)

- Tail -f mode for logs (monitoring changes to files)

- Correct and easy conversion to encoding formats (utf-8, to ansi etc)

- Supports macros

- Fully configurable styles

- Great find and replace (supports regexes)

- Supports workspaces and projects

- It has some great plugins like:

- Integrated file explorer through plugin

- Ftp (sftp etc) browsing / editing through plugin

- XML pretty print, linting etc

- Python console scripting

- Zen coding

Ok some of its weak points are:

- No real auto-complete so it's difficult to be used with Java (of course that's the case with most editors)

- Supports only windows (however I am using it also on my mac mini as the default editor through wine)

- Not very good marketing - Notepad++ is really great but I rarely see it discussed or trending as I was seeing atom or VS code

- Cannot open (very) big files (it handles files ~ 200 MB without problems though).

Before I became a parent, I didn't understand Lego. Now I love Lego. My kids love Lego. We'll spend an hour at the Lego store every few months filling up a bucket of parts and spend hours piecing different inventions together at home in quiet focused play.

The only complaint I have about Lego is the price. The kits are very expensive, even the basic kits that don't feature licensed superheroes or star wars. A little police truck or car is $20. My understanding is that the expense comes from the precision with which the bricks must me manufactured, but $160 for a robotics kit is still prohibitively expensive for many people.

That said, this kit does appear awesome.
Should I Ask for a Raise Today?
I'm a software engineer in San Francisco. I've been programming for 2 years, and I have 8 months of work experience (all 8 have been with my current company). I am getting paid 85k which I believe is less than the market value in SF. My boss said raises come in April, but I don't want to wait that long. Should I ask my boss for a raise today and tell him that the market value is 110?
In my experience, it's really one or the other. There's unfortunately going to be a lot of duplicated overwriting code if you want to update it in the future. I'd love to know of better methods though.
It's perception I'm talking about, the real damage being done by releasing this type of tone-deaf product at the same time good, hardworking and long-time users can no longer afford their products.
