Off topic from OP but do you guys have a work-around for this issue in Safari that's still present to this day? https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137730 (test: https://people-mozilla.org/~dholbert/tests/flexbox/compat_te...) It's been fixed in all other browsers and it's really killing the ability to go full blown flexbox
Yeah, the sales goals were never accurate to begin with. :)
OT: To be honest, that was something that always bugged me about password managers, particularly cloud-based ones. I'm not doubting the added security, but isn't it offset by adding another link in the chain with the power to compromise - and even lock you out if it's the only place you store the passwords - of all your accounts?
Thanks for that link, added to my list of "Plugins I didn't know I wanted until I saw them" :).

I feel like the 90% susceptibility rate is high. Does this mean that if I come into contact with a single zombie, there is a 90% chance of it biting me?
Intriguing. I'm from the UK and I believe we do it differently here because I have an RCD on my earth bar in the consumer unit. The RCD detects current on the earth wire and cuts power to the circuit instantly. An earth fault doesn't trigger the circuit breaker, it triggers the RCD. A fault between live and neutral would trigger the circuit breaker.

If I'm understanding you correctly, in the US the ground wire is functionally identical to the neutral due to the bonding. Therefore (this is my own deduction and I'd appreciate being corrected if I'm wrong) you could, in theory, invert the ground and neutral wires in the plug of an electrical appliance and there would be no change in the behaviour or safety of the appliance?
You can see types of results at a high-level, sure, but you can't see cause and effect.

Because management is about managing employee feelings, whenever an objection is raised, Bob can say "Well, Alice and Dan were having a really serious issue, which I can't discuss with peers due to confidentiality concerns, and we really had to dedicate a lot of effort to defusing that and retaining them in order to keep our mindshare and minimize legal risk". That's a legitimate managerial effort. Unless you're also in a position to intimately know the issue with Alice and Dan (and if you are then why does this manager exist?), you can't really say "That was an incorrect way to solve the issue."

Human emotions create a drag on productivity, can't get around that. A manager's job is to minimize, defuse, and de-escalate that drag. You can sort of say "Bob, your team always has the most problems, you clearly can't keep them under control", but it really depends on a lot of variables, and unlike software engineering, you can't directly quantify the impact of most actions/tradeoffs. It's very non-scientific.

If you know of a management culture that facilitates this kind of peer feedback, please let me know. My personal experience is that successful management types are extremely emotionally aware and well-polished, and know that providing criticism to anyone only serves to generate hostility. They will try to manage their reports indirectly, attempting to curb behaviors and get results without having to directly criticize.

Your comments aren't unfair nor even incorrect. However, there is something systemically wrong inside of Apple that those with a gift for "hyperbole" might call total disarray.

Yes, I would be happy to take their recent results in my own business and wouldn't at all be disappointed. You could also point out that management may well be taking the long view of a post-Jobs Apple and giving Cook room to find that Apple of the future... as opposed to being driven purely by short term results/quarterly reports: something that I think many on HN condemn in other contexts.

Still... think of post-Gates Microsoft. They had huge momentum (which showed in the financials as well), but everybody including me thought there was something deeply wrong with Microsoft, too. They were coasting on that momentum and doing very little aside from coddling their more conservative customers... just as you suggest Apple can get away with. Microsoft was losing their leading position and was getting on the slow death-march path. They may have turned that around while they still could.

No doubt, casting MAJOR screw-ups aside, Apple will not die as a company anytime soon. Apple and Cook are still completely in position to turn things around. But atrophy and possibility of ending-up as some sort of also-ran... that's not impossible and it's also fair to point that out.

That explanation really reminded me a lot of the Petkau effect [0]:

> The Petkau effect is an early counterexample to linear-effect assumptions usually made about radiation exposure.

> Petkau had been measuring, in the usual way, the radiation dose that would rupture a simulated artificial cell membrane. He found that 3500 rads delivered in  2 1⁄4 hours (26 rad/min = 15.5 Sv/h) would do it. Then, almost by chance, Petkau repeated the experiment with much weaker radiation and found that 0.7 rad delivered in  11 1⁄2 hours (1 millirad/min = 0.61 mSv/h) also ruptured the membrane. This was counter to the prevailing assumption of a linear relationship between total dose or dose rate and the consequences.

To step away from sales, since everyone seems so focused on headphone jacks/MBPt. I think a lot of the uproar this year will subside over the next 1-2 years and the decisions Apple made will make sense.

Apple has always made controversial decisions of this fashion in its history, many today don't remember because they weren't Apple customers then. I think those who said Steve Jobs wouldn't have let these decisions happen couldn't be further from the truth. But these decisions have usually paid off, there just were less people then to notice/complain.

A lot of the decisions made on the products released last year actually make a lot of sense to me. If anything, Apple should simply stop including the earpods with the iPhone to reduce confusion and waste. Moving away from the headphone jack is not just about wireless and space, but making the DAC part of the speakers/drivers system. The lightning port is destined to disappear eventually too, with induction or wireless charging.

I think a lot of this is the result of Apple being ahead of the curve (and partly driving it), and is consistent with Apple looking ahead and delivering long-term value products. A wise investor would see the stance of the company keeping course for the vision in the face of such bad publicity as a good sign it hasn't lost its edge.
Ah Scott Manley, my favorite KSPer. That guy has a talent for explaining things.
To those not old enough to remember, yes tv sets looked like that and there was usually only one, maybe two tops in any given house. I remember that the big event of the decade entertainment wise was when my family got a Sony Trinitron Color TV. Boy was that nice compared to black and white.
Or next time you buy a new car, just keep your old one as a project.

That's what I did when my old car died. I was originally going to sell it for parts on Craigslist, but then I got the crazy idea in my head to buy some tools and attempt the repair myself over the summer. Got it back in working order and I've been wrenching on it ever since.

Like you said, no pressure in having it fixed on time if it's not your daily driver.

I keep thinking that it's a good time for Microsoft to make another push in that space—a decent Surface Phone might at the very least re-capture a small foothold. There appear to be a lot of people disillusioned with iOS and Android these days.
Not generally true. In addition to those mentioned, the Chevy Cruze diesel has an Adblue tank easily accessible in the trunk. Refilling the Adblue is no harder than topping up your wiper fluid. It takes a standard bottle with a built-in spill-proof adapter. If for some reason you don't have such a bottle, you can just use a regular old funnel.

There's an idiot light type indicator that tells you when the change is coming up, just as with oil changes, and if ignored I think the engine will go eventually go into a kind of limp mode.
I would never leave the tech world entirely. I would shift focus from coding and solving bullshit issues generated by business people to dealing more with real people solving real problems. I have ideas how to do that in a fun way but I am not there yet.

I think coding is really fun and creative occupation if you can decide what you code and when you code. I know if I would make my dream come true and would teach teenagers self defense I would end up spending my nights coding the website of my dojo by myself...

You mean his tweet where he said it was a good idea, just maybe not the most pressing issue? I did. Anyway, I didn't mean to say he won't do anything. As president, it would be difficult to not shape US foreign policy. But while he obviously has a history of taking action, he has a very mixed record of taking successful action, which I think is part of being effective.

And he does have the ear of half the country, but in the past it has seemed like he's really only good at marketing himself, not so much his products and businesses. So of course he can use his followers to his advantage, but I don't see a lot of evidence that he will use that advantage well. Being able to push something through Congress doesn't mean he'll be able to make it work and make people buy into it.
I took two breaks from tech. One was for grad school, which I dropped out of after 3 semesters. Like some others in the thread I found academia to be pretty bad. You're paid shit and treated like a peon. The work was actually interesting, but I knew I could just go back to private industry and make 5-10x as much doing the same type of work.

I took a break from "everything" at one point and became a nightlife photographer in a large urban area. It didn't pay much. It mostly involved drinking and doing drugs, on someone else's dime, until the early morning. It was a great time for the most part, and I met lots of interesting people. After about 6 months I got tired of it and went back to tech. Note: having a professional camera in a club is a great way to meet women.

I'm considering leaving tech again, or at least ending my engineering career. I no longer find it personally enjoyable to build systems. Building systems that other people want, instead of ones I'd want to build, has jaded me. I've worked at several companies, large and small, over the years. And I've found that as a tech shop matures, that exciting feeling of creating a product dulls. It dulls to the point of becoming anesthetic. The longer you stay, the worse it becomes. I wouldn't mind staying in the tech field. I just don't want to spend all day in front of a monitor anymore.

Originally, we were looking at a Lagoon catamaran, 38-42 feet. Due to personal circumstances around an elderly parent (can't sell our house, they'll need to live in it while we're out sailing), we're now looking at a Beneteau 381 (and a few others, needs to be blue water capable but would also like to have a lot of guests on during passages).

I'd love a Lagoon, but unless my options are worth >$100K at a liquidity event, its not in the cards.

I'm surprised there is no love for nuclear-js in this thread. I personally didn't like redux's approach, but I understand where it's coming from.

Nuclear-js feels heavy-handed, and there is indeed a lot of boiler plate, but in the end the explicit organization pays off in a huge way.

What most people don't realize is that state management will get insane past a certain point. Nuclear-JS can handle a truly massive application that is very complex -- think google docs/sheets

I imagine most people aren't building something like that though, and find it too cumbersome.

I would think long and hard about leaving an industry you're established into, before doing it. I left in 2008 because, after two mergers, I had run out of steam and felt I wasn't wanted. I lost money because the crash caused the options I had to be worth less than I had hoped, but I attempted to make a living making wood-fired pots. I'd been making pots for ages, but they weren't good enough, and I didn't know how to build a business. I've been fortunate to have had a friend who employed me twice, but I now find myself living on dwindling savings but nine years out of date.

I would suggest that if you are running out of passion, then find an unrelated but expensive hobby, or find something related to IT that you can get passionate about.

And if you're certain you want to leave, start planning now.

Fair enough, but as I mentioned these devices have both positive and negative slope in their V-I curves.

That said, where have you seen non-linearity in ordinary resistors? Just for grins a I pulled one out my parts drawer and threw it on the sweep generator on my bench. I could not identify any non-linearity in the sweep, it was simply a straight line between 0 to 10mA. Where are you seeing nonlinearity in your resistors?

Markov Chain Tutorial
That depends on a few factors.

1. Can you cite tangible accomplishments where your work has disproportionately benefited the business? Did something really cool technically != did something that made the company more money or cut costs. If not, avoid asking until you figure out how to meet this requirement.

2. Are you working for an established organization where raises are done on a schedule (and have been on a schedule for years)? If so, you may be better off having the conversations to condition your boss towards a bigger raise in April rather than demanding one now.

3. Do you have data? Don't think you're less than the market value, come with data. StackOverflow has done developer compensation surveys in the past, and there's always Glassdoor, etc.

Unless you have demonstrably had a positive impact on the business that went over and beyond expectations for an engineer, you may wish to wait until April and see how raises shake out then. If, however, you can come with data and make a case that you're going beyond the call of duty in your role (something that you could also show to a new prospective employer in an interview), give it a shot.
My experience with Generators have been mostly with Redux/Saga, and thus I am now of the opinion that they are the superior choice for asynchronous operations for the sole benefit of testing. With Promises you can test the value and the state.

Generators let you test any yield. So you can test not only the operations but the side effects as well.

CES 2017: Gorilla Glass makes the move from phones to cars
>How is Tim Cook still CEO of Apple?

Because he was the COO that made them the most valuable company on earth, and the CEO that hit record points and maintained that position?

>just consider the damage Apple's brand is suffering. $300 books, headphone jacks, unreliable cloud services, missed product launches.

They always had BS hyperbole against them. It's the easiest click-bait target for hack journalists.

And those "unreliable cloud services" not only are much more reliable than they were in Jobs day (their old Cloud stuff was a joke) but earn tens of billions (just the iOS app store paid around 20 billion dollars to developers in 2016 alone), and are used by close to a billion people.

Your whole list of complains for damage to the brand is BS:

"$300 books" -> They put out a high-end, limited run, coffee table book. Didn't force anyone to buy it, and it's just a homage to their 30+ years of design work.

"headphone jacks" -> Competitors already had models out without headphone jack, and Samsung is following suit too. Some people might lament them, but going forward they bet on wireless for most people -- plus they offer an adaptor so all existing headphones can be used.

"unreliable cloud services" -> Compared to what? And how? I already spoke about their Cloud services above anyway.

"missed product launches" -> It's not the first time and it's not a big deal either. When you design for million unit production runs (unlike the smaller runs of competitors with 50+ product configurations), and you push the envelope in construction, machining, engineering tolerances, etc, you get those things. Not many places that can arbitrarily manufacture your stuff. They could always put out cruder products and get them out faster, but that's not their thing. Besides, Intel delays launches all the time, Microsoft has done it time and again, Google and co put out BS projects that often get lauded from the press for innovation but are half-thought, sell badly and get pulled (Google Glass for one, several first iterations of the Surface, etc.).
> Become a musician. I love all kinds of music and drums/percussion in particular.

Back in the day this was a common theme. "I love boating so..." or "I like golf so..."

Doing something part time is much different from doing it full time or as a career. Waking up every morning and having to be creative or perform or boat or golf. The intermittent part of certain activities is what makes it fun. Not always but many times. Plus you have to be good enough to earn a living and/or accolades to keep you going.

I am reminded of the time when I sold my first company and was able to boat anytime I wanted. Honestly got tired of it almost immediately when able to do it without the pressure of actual work 'to get away from'.

Nature uses something like STDP (spike timing dependent plasticity), where the change in a synapse strength is proportional to the sign and delta time of the last spike at each end of the synapse. You can approximate something like backprop by using symmetric STDP (discarding the sign).

"Towards a Biologically Plausible Backprop" from Benjamin Scellier and Yoshua Bengio (2016) would be a recent paper on the topic.
This isn't surprising. Larger engines are almost always more efficient, compare for example a gas boiler in a house vs a CCGT in a powerplant.

But overall diesel has been a complete disaster and will take probably a decade minimum to undo. Complete tunnel vision focus on CO2 emissions at all costs which continues to plague environmental regulation IMO.
It's hilarious that you say bundling+compression+minification is "obsolete" and your suggested better way is "stop using HTTP, load from a filesystem." You had to bend over backwards THAT ridiculously far to try and find a fault with it. The technique 99.999% of the world is moving to. so funny. And saying that JQuery's namespace ($) is a "big global variable", and therefore you hate it, will be something i'll be telling buddies about for years to come.
