+1! You bring up some excellent points, I think. For example, Elixir is based on decades of Erlang success, and a decade of Ruby and Rails success. I've been using it as the backend to a mobile app for about a year now, and it has far exceeded my expectations in learning curve, ease of writing concurrent code, maintainability, scalability, and performance.

I also agree with you regarding Ruby/Rails. Ruby and Rails are both elegant technologies, and have had a significant influence on how we write web applications today. You cannot take those contributions away, regardless of how many "better" languages come out. I think both Ruby and Elixir have their strengths and weaknesses, but that doesn't mean either is bad. Saying so would be like trashing a screwdriver because it isn't very good at driving nails.
We could just eliminate the contribution cap. Then it keeps working in perpetuity, because we'd actually be taxing the people who have money.
Too late, you assume the FSF isn't just one of the many pawns used to thwart the free libre projects. Perhaps we shouldn't be supporting the FSF anymore if they aren't supporting what needs to be done because they are now a bunch of suits.
Not bad! Unlike the hundred "link every keyword on a page to a tenuously related product" scripts out there, this actually adds value to the page, highlighting and identifying items in the photo on hover.
I think that is in the right direction. Thanks!
That's funny because recently I switched exclusively to irssi for personal IM stuff, as pretty much anyone I needed to IM outside of work were on IRC. It was kind of like coming home after traveling for a long time! Heck, I've even started using Gnus to read my email again. I don't know what's gotten into me. ;)
This is a very old exploit. The earliest references I could find were from 2010.

As other comments have noted, it isn't trivial to fix completely, so I believe most browsers just haven't bothered at all, but have implemented some extra protection for credit cards (and of course, CVV numbers are never stored in the first place).

PS4 Pro already does this for some games like the last guardian.
And yet they are cutting back costs on services and have hired cheap third party concierge service providers who are not as good as Emirates original staff used to be and are very discriminatory with passengers coming from certain regions. My uncle was denied a wheel chair when his flight landed in Dubai because apparently 78 years old forgot to register "special request" online at the time of check-in. Their reason, Dubai International Airport, a world class facility, ran out of wheel chairs! I have heard/read similar stories about how Emirates is loosing its grip when it comes to services (especially inside the economy class)

Why I posted this rant here? Because I don't agree it is justifiable enough for a business to hide its short-comings behind an expensive PR campaign.
if the question you asked didn't required any additional work [such as] medical decision making

That effectively of reduces the scope of meaningful questions I can a doctor to near-zero, right?
Yes, that's right. I was also initially concerned about that, but I have not had complaints about it.

Oberlo (the drop shipping service) does have an email system that lets you track the package on its journey and see where it is shipping from, after an order is placed. So it's not unexpected that the address is Chinese.

Most of the vendors actually do a good job on the packaging/presentation, but it's advisable to try each vendor's products (even something cheap), so you know what kind of standards they have. Some are very good, others are poor. You can also leave the vendor an automated message when you order about how to package.
Razer demos a sorta cool, sorta ridiculous triple-monitor laptop concept
Do you have an appropiate charger?
I was researching usb-c charging for my XPS 13 (9350) and apparently the charging standard allows for different voltages so it's not all 5V as you'd expect from good old usb and therefore requires a specific charger capable of delivering the right voltage (19V in my case from what I could gather).
Agreed. The title really doesn't make sense.
You're being imprecise - it doesn't cost Google money, it is advertisers who are losing money in this case.
Of course, in the long run, if clicking ads gets popular as a trend among adblocking tools, it can influence the whole industry, and Google will earn less money. This is not the same thing, though.
I guess that the server went to sleep for a while. It runs on a free heroku tier. I'm planning on moving it on Digital Ocean, but waiting for things to cool down a little :)
I listened to what they wanted to do with it and I am in the lucky position that I can develop whatever they want. But that was a slow, 10 yr long process.

Starting out with WordPress has made a lot of things, especially when it comes to marketing, very easy for me. There's a free version that is used on over 700.000 sites right now and it got there mostly organically.

That said, if your plugin does anything visual, be ready for a lot of beginner questions. Some of your non-paying users will be the hardest to please, especially in WordPress land where you as a (real) developer will be severely underappreciated.

Leah: FSF and GNU can both go fuck themselves.

there's no assumption. "leah" is making an ass out of herself and has no business working in that capacity. Thats plenty of information.
Only there's now bi-partisan recognition that SS is insolvent and something must be done. The left wants to increase taxes and remove the cap, who knows how far they could get to taking that if the populist Sanders side takes over, and the right wants to reduce benefits and/or privatize. If the stagnation keeps up until retirement, I guess they'll just quit writing checks.

Beyond that, I'd say the ease with which a video chat can be initiated is important so that the annoyance of starting one does not become an impediment to using them when they are appropriate. My team uses Sococo which, while not without its problems, does allow for one-click video chats and screen sharing with 1 or more co-workers. It's really nice to have the option to jump into a 5-minute video chat/screen share with the click of a button to work through something that would otherwise be a 25-minute chat conversation.

> If some employee receives 2000 euros, usually the company has to provision 3000 to 4000 euros. Most of those labor taxes go to the social security organism which has a budget as large as the state budget. (Edited for grammar and clarity)

This is similar in the UK with employers national insurance contributions.

Total tax wedge in France is higher than the UK and higher than the OECD average, but still in line with Germany according to the OECD [1], just as I stated. Note that the OECD tax wedge data covers total cost paid by both employees and employers.

Aren't you assuming that the tenuring process is very similar to Google's hiring process? What if people at that institution get tenure even if they aren't very good at the work? After all the whole point of tenure is to protect people from getting fired regardless of how bad their peer-judged performance is.

Sure people are. Not enough according to you perhaps.

er... what? can you explain that a bit i think i must misunderstand?

what i think of as undershooting or overshooting is relative to the range... and besides that, what is wrong with clamping? its how computer graphics has always had to deal with these things... limited range simply doesn't exist in that context, and it doesn't harm anything.

when computer games are forced into limited range for consoles you don't get these unless your tv is applying one of those god awful filters that ruins everything anyway... (i'm still not sure why so many tvs have these - reference monitors never do anything this insane) ... but i can tell you what you do get, a subjectively /and/ measurably worse quality of image than from a monitor.

(i don't think i'm alone in this based on the contents of the ITU-R BT.2100 either... which defines a full range as well as a 'narrow' one)

I do too. I run PenguinDreams. I'm trying to post more, and am working on graphics so I can setup a Patreon. I'd like to be able to live off it, and I'll see how it goes.

I'm not famous, but I do love working on my own open source projects and I like writing tech posts. Last time I quit my job I lived for 11 months off my savings while travelling in over 10 countries. I got some OSS done, redid all my websites and wrote a lab manual for a friend of mine who was teaching a class based on the stuff I wrote.

My goal was to get into University and work on a PhD. I had attempted this a few years ago, but my grades for undergrand and grad school weren't all that great (2.5/3.2), and it pretty much killed my chances. I had some publications under my belt this time, but still very few professors would even talk to me about my work in sensor network research (BigSense).

I've spend over a decade in software. I do not enjoy being in industry. Even though I work remotely more now and less in the office, I still find my career choice mind numbing.

I'm going to try again soon, with more savings, so hopefully I can make it further before having to give up and having to find another software job.
Being intolerant of bigots doesn't exactly make you as bad as them...

Parent comment is wrong and overgeneralizing a bit (as others have pointed out, awful people exist everywhere and transcend the bounds of class and geography), but the line of thinking you are getting at that it is hateful to be agressive against perpetuators of evil is somehow equal to their hate is dangerous and incorrect. It isn't fascism when you stomp a fascist.
I find it difficult to believe people calling others toxic, or unstable. Sounds like just another FSF whack job trying to further smear a project they lost control over. Sounds like respectability politics, gas lighting, and making shit up about what happened to someone who "hasn't said a word on the subject".
If there is no social security there is no way there will be enough money for basic income from a governmental standpoint

>PyPy isn't an interpreter, you are just validating my assertion about JIT/AOT compilers.

I thought we were talking about Python implementations exclusively. My mistake.

>OCaml

I have no experience with OCaml, so I won't make any comments regarding it's efficacy.'

>Haskell

Well thought out language. I like the purity, but it's too academic for real world use outside of scientific computing. FP isn't for everyone, and my personally belief regarding it is that it is better used as a tool alongside other paradigms than all by itself as the only paradigm.

>Lisp

Lisp is useful for a lot of things. It's also not very popular for new projects as far as I've seen. There are also a ton of different versions, so I don't know if "Lisp" is really a good descriptor.

>Scheme

As far as I know Scheme is the defacto teaching language for most compSci programs.Or, at least it was for a long time. Once again, FP is not for everyone. A lot of people also dislike Lisp style syntax, myself included.

>Racket

Same issues as Scheme.

>F#

F# is a fantastic language. There's not really a whole heck of a lot to complain about other than the .NET implications. The only detriment relative to Python is F#'s much smaller ecosystem and community.

>C#

Once again, some people just don't like .NET stuff. A lot of people also see static typing to be a detriment in many use cases.

Relative to Python, these languages also share several other problems when it comes to real world application: lack of competent developers, stagnating ecosystems, lack of third party libraries, ecosystem lock in, and cross-platform comparability issues. In the case of languages like Haskell, they could even be considered "esoteric".

I'll give you that many of these languages are more "pure" or "logical" than Python. I'll even give you that most of them are designed much better than Python. None of that changes the fact that Python is overall easier to read, easier to learn, easier to write, has a better ecosystem, is platform and file system agnostic, has a very non-restrictive license, and is, overall, very pleasant to work with.

All you are saying is that the US needs to continue to service its debt without defaulting. Since there is no sign that we will default now or later, this is simply more fear mongering.
> could have accepted that the maintainer wanted to take libreboot out of the GNU project without prolonging the whole thing

If I read the FSF statements correctly, there were very good reasons for taking some time, which I found quite convincing.

For instance, they were looking for a new maintainer of this GNU project, especially since GNU projects belong to GNU/FSF, not to the individual maintainers. The maintainers are free to step down and let other maintainers continue a project.

Would it have been more professional if they had thrown away their management process for GNU projects in this single case?

Clarity Money: AI driven personal finance app
In your opinion, where does the current state of Javascript and it's fractured development tools, processes and frameworks fare against mature stacks?

You are totally spot on in that mature stacks don't even make the list. Obviously, new developers are going to be exposed to the new and hip fashion trends while veterans prefer predictability and stability.

It keeps me awake at night thinking about who is right. It could be that we are on the eve of a new paradigm where JS dominates the enterprise or we could be seeing another blip on the radar.

I do however think that AWS is a definite paradigm shift in how developers work, especially as serverless is gaining momentum but this is more of a devops/serverops shift imo.

Honestly, I don't think its such a bad idea. Life expectancy in 1935 was 62. Today its 79. So if we want the program to be solvent, we have to adopt one or more of the following solutions: keep increasing the SS-eligibility age in tandem with life expectancy, increase the FICA tax, cut benefits
My guess is the government will create legislation where it requires large marketplaces to automatically withhold taxes by default, such as ebay, airbnb, uber, lyft, task rabbit, amazon, doordash etc.

I'm not GP, but

>Call me SJW or Gutmensch but if that makes you 'easily say' that she is 'apparently toxic', you are a prime example for what is going wrong in tech.

I don't even know what SJW means anymore. There are too many definitions floating around. But it doesn't matter, because I don't care what you are, and I'm not interested in insulting you. That's pointless. While I may not always succeed at doing so (staying detached is hard!), I would rather attack ideas than people.

The thing is, whether or not what Leah did was right, how she went about it was entirely wrong. If she doesn't want to work for the FSF, and if she wants to fight the FSF over its actions, I don't care. But her lack of professionalism is unacceptable. That's why I would call her toxic (although I haven't done that yet).
Depends on your family. I kinda want to stay married, which limits my forward acceleration. It's a matter of finding the right compromise point. Didn't say it was going to be easy!

My team has a daily 15-minute scrum meeting that I haven't found overly burdensome. We're spread over a 4-hour time difference, so the time of day isn't really an imposition on anyone. It's also no big deal if someone misses from time to time but I've found it generally helpful for keeping up with what the team is doing.

Thanks, this makes sense. I suppose you can buy as many Yubikeys as your paranoia dictates and potentially even distribute your backups in different physical locations.

Is there any potential for the Yubikeys to get "out of sync"? Or do you just initialize both Yubikeys upfront, and then distribute them to a safe place?
This is already the case, since 1983. Also note that there's a huge difference in the payout depending on whether you go for early or full benefit age.

I don't see why changing the tax rules around retirement accounts (like taxing Roth withdrawals) would be any more difficult than changing Social Security payouts. You never know what may happen in the future. The government could even make owning gold illegal.
It seems this extension could be tweaked to only operate on sites with high Alexa rankings or similar to avoid this problem. That would probably be a good idea, because you make a good point.

Or, it could even have two "modes": a "carpet bombing" mode for high Alexa sites that clicks everything, and as you decrease in popularity, it increasingly begins to simulate real user behavior.

That would simultaneously disrupt the system for the big players and, hopefully, get extra revenue for the little guys.
One big problem I find with these transforms is there always comes a point where something, for a while, has to get a bit worse. Either a bit slower, or some features disappear.

Now I try to ensure we agree up front which issues will be blocking, and how much extra memory / CPU is acceptable, which features have to be kept, etc.
>What if people at that institution get tenure even if they aren't very good at the work?

In modern academia, there are hundreds of aspirants for each tenure-track job. To both get a job and then get tenure means you've been peer-reviewed as excellent dozens of times over since finishing school.

>After all the whole point of tenure is to protect people from getting fired regardless of how bad their peer-judged performance is.

No, the point of tenure is to protect people from getting fired when they have controversial political opinions like, "Stop gutting state university funding".

I'd challenge you on many. According to Wikipedia, only seven percent of workers make more than 100,000, never mind "far more than 115k": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United....

Also, wouldn't this rule lower revenue because more workers end up contributing? (Assuming that executives would adjust their plans rather than pay extra taxes.)

That's a very interesting point about diversifying your tax liability. Is it a fairly common tactic to contribute evenly across pre-tax and post-tax buckets? I've mostly stuck to contributing to one bucket but spreading out contributions across buckets makes a lot of sense. If you have any sources about the pros/cons of diversifying tax liability in this way, I'd be very interested.
