The advice often received and piped to such change is: Shock -> Resistance -> Acceptance -> Commitment

Expect to be told something similar to this. Check yourself, is this what's happening?

On finding a manager:

Report to and build an effective relationship with the most senior person your can find. For manager tier in a large company this is probably an MD, D or Partner. Gain their trust. Get a couple more as mentors. Make sure there are 2-4 levels of corporate hierarchy from you and them. This removes any kind of hostility they may have from yourself appearing as competition. For a small company I guess this means report directly into a Founder. If you're 50-60 people, and already managing a team, are you in this position already? If not your org is already way too hierarchical.

Being a remote worker, add value:

A remote worker is often seen as a function. Give them something to do and they do it. Same is true of branch offices. Get closer to headoffice and promotions happen faster as implicit exposure happens faster. This is a downside of remote working. In what way are you contributing that an outsourced provider cannot?

Being a manager is not being an expert:

Promoting someone with niche knowledge to management doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. It is a manager's job to manage, not be an overbearing expert, that's what delegation and judgement is for. Is there anything else going on?

What I'd say:

If you really are happy in the job and would like to stay, I'd ooze maturity. Don't say this, as I don't know it fits your exact situation, but if it is like I'm imaging it, I'd change it to an opportunity to build a closer relationship: "I know I managed XXX before, and now they're managing me. I just want to say that's fine as I find value in doing YYY, the core part of my job, and you don't need to worry about any hostile reaction from me."... <<reaction>> [Get some opportunity to talk about my own plans for the coming year, basically a hook I can use to check-in with them in the future.] Don't do this in email. Skype face-to-face at the least.

Relationships are key:

And, for anyone working remotely, spend huge efforts to not just send a tracker of what you've done, but have a regular check-in and 1-1 every week with your boss and anyone else you find valuable.
One of the off-putting remarks I get is, "what is this, a pyramid scheme?". I don't like the name, they should have stuck with Pylons.
Dell Has Sold ‘Tens of Millions’ Dollars’ Worth of Linux Laptops
To some extent Apple's secrecy makes it easier to compartmentalize. You're literally forbidden by work from talking to people outside the company including friends and family. Now assuming you don't take that to mean 'always be at work', it's not all bad. That was my experience there.
Unless there's buyers for that stock lined up, what you're buying is only worth a million on paper.
Thank you. I find the "don't you know you're voting against your own interests" a pretty arrogant argument. How do you know they are voting against their interests?

Finally paying off loans this year, I really feel sorry for anyone who didn't land a good paying job right after school.

What happens to your Elixir Mix configuration when you create a release
The choice of method is very deliberate on the side of the developer [1]. It's not like they didn't consider whether they should, it's just that you don't agree with their reasoning.

[1] Quoting from the article:

> [The developer] said that AdNauseam is “definitely an activist tool” that intentionally and deliberately is “trying to show that this hostile disrespect for online privacy would be met with hostility on the part of the users.”
This reminds me of my childhood church, in the late 70's & early 80's. The pastor was absolutely obsessed with Three's Company. Felt like not only was it the worst show on television, but that it was a harbinger of the end times. That women in short shorts in a comedy of manners was going to destroy America as we know it. Mom at first forbade it in our home, and then she caught an episode by accident. Turned out to be one of her favorite shows and a regular in our house.
Matrix is decentralized, proper open source, modern, has audited end-to-end encryption and all that. Be aware that if you install the Riot app from the Play Store, it uses GCM (which means that client is technically vulnerable to the same attack as described in the article), but if you install it from F-Droid it does not.

One strength of Matrix over Signal is indeed that you are free to choose or develop your own client to use with it. You can also host your own server for the decentralized Matrix network, but that point is kind of orthogonal and not related to this specific issue.
This has nothing to do with being intellectual. Ross is a neurotic, self-obsessed, career-oriented douchebag. Honestly, I don't understand how they could put up with him for so long. He was such an unlikeable character...
and the converse applies.
great, now that we've identified the problem, let's get some robust public spending on loan forgiveness in order to stimulate the economy be removing a substantial debt burden from people who are in their prime earning years.

this isn't rocket science. people keep more money after their essential bills = people spending more money

the alternative is that we let this debt continue until the students eventually riot or kill themselves-- to be clear, i believe this is the most likely outcome
isn't Axolotl an open protocol to be freely implemented by anyone? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Ratchet_Algorithm#Usage
Writers are often idealists themselves. So what they see in the world and how they see it, they put on the screen. Then other people see that and that affects their behavior. It's a cycle. Anti-intellectualism was alive and well in every school in the United States in the 90s. The cool kids are not the nerdy kids. And the nerdy kids end up in engineering roles to be ruled over by the cliques of cool kids. Scientists are owned by their universities, again run by the cool kids in administration. The hierarchy of humanity is stupidity and egotism rules at least the masses and middle management.

So I think that this guy is not reading the situation properly.
A VERY GOOD NEWS!!!

Yea, I know, shouting is not the best thing, but this is a really good news.
I don't disagree however markets aren't perfectly inefficient either, they do reflect what is going on in the world.

I think what I was trying to put across is there probably isn't much news that could come out of brexit that would push them much lower, the worst outcome for the markets is heading towards WTO rules and that looks like what we are going to get.
One edge case? Look at the debt levels in the US! There is a huge chunk of the population that has a negative net worth, mostly due to mortgage debt.

Is it fair to say all those people are poorer than people in India who have a few dollars to their name?
> The thing is, in any real project where you need a front-end framework, you will need modules very soon.

Sure, and modules are good even if you didn't need data binding at all. But the data binding and the module system you use are orthogonal and CommonJS/npm is still larger than any other module system by 10x, maybe 100x, maybe more.
>Python 2 is slowly being EOL'd and if you're starting a brand new Django project there's no reason on earth you should choose Python 2 anymore.

Except that there are still some critical packages that aren't on Python 3 yet. Not to mention a lot of functionality breaks even if the libraries do exist, which means you have to code things up quite differently sometimes.
I was thinking yes, but then no?! I bet you could hire a bunch of people with lottery tickets!
Moxie and Whisper Systems is clearly against decentralization and federation, based on that blog post they wrote. This means it's unlikely that Signal is ever going to have any support for federation.
I'm from the US and I went to a high school in an affluent, upper-middle class town. We were basically taught from day one freshman year that the was no other option except to go to college. Our 'guidance counselors' were only there to help seniors with their college applications.

I think this is a huge disservice and if I ever have kids I'm going to stress that they do NOT have to go to college right after HS or ever. How many people waste a Bachelor's degree because they were forced to pick a major when they were 18?
I don't believe it's even doable. Could I pick up an instrument and learn to noodle around on it from watching YouTube videos for a few weeks? Possibly, although for some instruments I doubt even that's possible. But to attain basic proficiency, much less the level of mastery required to play at a professional level just isn't possible without someone to show you how and to correct you when you're wrong (and thousands and thousands of hours of practice, of course).
> I think it does something bad to your brain. Not necessarily altering it forever, but at least turning one into a little dopamine junkie.

Arguably we are inherently dopamine junkies and gaming is just one way to feed that addiction, learning other skills — like painting, playing an instrument, etc. — is another.

> When you go deep into debt to go to college, you want the experience to be as nice as possible.

What you want and what you can afford can be two very different things. Just because you can get a big loan does not mean you can afford it.
For myself, the purpose of going to college was to get a piece of paper to get my first software development job. I didn't care if the college looked nice, offered all sorts of amenities, etc. I went to a local state university and commuted.

Too many people have been brainwashed into going college for the non-education part of the 'college experience' without understanding the long-term implications of coming out of school with an enormous debt load. Continuing to allow 17-21 year old kids to sign up for these loans is just a scam.
Thanks for the link. Looks like that program was only indirectly about religion. It provided a list of countries whose citizens were subject to more intense scrutiny. Most of those countries were majority Muslim, thus most people affected by the program were Muslim. There were successful civil rights complaints about this.

Trump, of course, has suggested a much more aggressive and less subtle program that includes an explicit religious test.
Where do you get the idea that it's OK to "demand" things from a project when you're not paying for it?

FOSS gives you freedom to do these things on your own. Money gets you other people doing it for you.

If you want more insight into how this sort of thing happens, look no further than early discussions about Theranos on these very boards. It was difficult to be critical, and supporters implied that the naysayers were merely "sexist".

Where?

Story from two years ago, before it blew up: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9440595 - Lots of criticism, some even calling it a scam, yet no mention of sexism nor heavy downvotes.

The original submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6349349 - Some criticism, not downvoted nor called sexism.

Tell me, where are all those comments warning us about the impending doom at Theranos and getting silenced by supporters calling them sexist?

How can I get netflix to display on debian testing, out of principle without chrome?

Supposedly it chrome works, but chromium didn't. Firefox is supposedly getting support, but not officially and so it didn't work for me. I was thinking to keep torrenting while paying, but actually the selection on the public trackers is rather limited to new releases or lonely slow seeders. Avoiding the hassle of finding sources and exposing buggy clients to the scene is the main advantage, but then the netflix selection is limited as well, which is good for competition, I suppose.
I was recruited and almost joined up with them but didn't for this exact reason. Too much uncertainty and potential for it to be cut right after I joined.
> The fake Markdown is awful.

+1 on this. I'd be much happier with Slack if they supported Github style markdown, including syntax-highlighting.

I don't understand objections to this based on inertia. The markdown style could be specified on a per-channel basis: traditional or Github-like.

If my team ever moves away from Slack, it would most likely be because of this issue.
No, the issue is the new logo is "moz://a", so when people don't get that it's supposed to mean "mozilla" they'll type it in as "moz://a".
If like me you really liked the slides, this is the framework/engine https://github.com/shower/shower

The theme is one of the included ones, Ribbon.
But the interest keeps compounding, which means the person is going to be paying a still sizable portion of their income for a significantly longer timeframe. This is money that arguably would be spent on housing, family, and retirement, e.g. things that provide significant societal and personal stability.
In the US most students at public universities have never paid for most of the services they receive, the state has paid for the bulk of their university education. For the past decade or two the states have been slashing university funding left and right. This is why tuition costs have been rising.

> Having only read the abstract and key points: The question is if video games have a better positive impact on cognitive abilities than other things you could do in the meantime that may also improve other abilities as well.

You're right that this is a good question. My guess is that compared to other common activities and hobbies, the answer is yes.

Most people aren't spending the bulk of their free time solving mathematical riddles, after all, they're hanging out with friends, they're shopping, watching TV, playing sports, etc. And those are all fine things, but given the purely mental challenge involved in video games, the cognitive benefits there are probably relatively high.

There are undoubtedly more efficient ways to improve your brain, but they're probably a lot less fun than video games.
Given loss aversion and human talent for rationalising their sunk cost, do you really think you'll be able to accurately value those options? Treating them as worth 0/ε is a good heuristic, it'll give you the right decision basically every time.
Yup, hit this problem last night. It's very upsetting, as these files should be long gone. Dropbox is yet to respond.

Before I started working in AAA game development I spent a few years working in the field of virtual training simulators for laparoscopic surgery.

In that context there were several similar studies. We mainly focused on those performed in order to validate skill transfer from our own training simulation to the operating room.[1][2][3]

However, there were also studies which showed that doctors who had spent a lot of time playing video games in their spare time performed better in the operating room, as well.[4]

[1] Skills acquired on LapSim transfer into the operating room, Gunnar Ahlberg et al., The American Journal of Surgery, 2007:193, p797

Also the current Airbnb logo which is actually pretty awful.
I have bookmarked this for later mainly because the story was written by Jeff Noon. He wrote some of my favourite books ever (Vurt, Pollen, Automated Alice amongst others) although he went in a very different direction later in his career with Cobralingus, Falling out of Cars and Needle in the Groove. I am looking forward to watching this.
That kind of doesn't apply when you're the head of Swift - an open source project where the whole roadmap is discussed on a public mailing list.

It will be very interesting to see how Trump reacts to USDS and similar efforts that connect the Federal government with technologists and scientists. The Republicans seem to prefer that government function poorly (e.g. "starve the beast") but they DO like the private sector. So when you want to use private sector best practices to make the government work better, does the administration like it or hate it?
Thanks, for great recommendations.

My main reason to work 60 hours/week is because I am not as productive as I was long time ago. My employer is paying me, but I feel if I work 40 hours/week, then actual outcome is 2-3 hours of work per week, that's why I intentionally increased my work hours.

I agree with you about exercising
No - but you've set me on the right track, there looks to be a pykdeuic4-3.4 executable (I had assumed if there were anything like that it would be a case of update-alternatives, but apparently not?). Will try that when I get home.
What strikes me about (Turbo) Pascal is how good it is for introductory programming! Just think about it, I find it to be like mixture of BASIC-like structure with Pyhton-esque syntax.

Language in itself is very clean, and the way how static it is and how precise you need to be with declaring of variables is great for preparing you for C down the road. Then again you can do many things with it.

I remember writing my first serious apps in Pascal, (few hundreds LOC), it was basically CRUD app, but it talked to .txt and .bin files. I learned a lot about memory management, and it made me implement and really understand deeply many concepts like linked lists, sorting algorithms and work with strings (writing small parsers). I am very grateful for Pascal, and I think it changed me forever, in a way where I got in love with it and I got hang of lower level programming pretty early. After that when I went to C, I had to learn a lot but it felt so natural. It's funny that I find myself struggling with Python and JS (with JS I got better, Lisp and functional programming came in handy there), cause I just can't get used to the language giving you pretty much everything just by calling one simple method/function. Numbers of times I found myself writing function for something trivial that already exists in language by itself. Anyway, it felt great to think about old times and Pascal. I think it is very underrated as a learning language.

> I don't see any "strength" in the classical object oriented programming model as found in C++ or Java. Actually, in modern programming composition is considered superior to inheritance.

I work in C++ and still use inheritance (although I generally prefer composition). One advantage over composition is that it's less typing. For example, if I'm using public inheritance to express a is-a relationship between a base and derived class, all of the public methods of the base are available without having to implement a method in the derived class that just forwards the call to the base class.
There has been a recession +/- 2 years from the end of every decade for the past 170 years.

I don't think these shows are the cause, but the result.

Things go down the drain because babyboomers and generation X failed and people try to hold on stuff that is easier to aquire than wealth.
Anecdote:
I used to work from home and pretty much sat down the whole day. I would still go for a run once or twice a week, but I would quickly experience a sharp pain in my lower back that made it really hard to run. Some Googling led me to believe that my tight hip flexors might be causing my back pain, and that sitting down all day could lead to tight hip flexors. I've since started working for a couple of hours per day at a ghetto standing desk and my back pains are pretty much gone.

Another thing that I really highly recommend is Joe DeFranco's stetching programme, Limber 11 (https://youtu.be/FSSDLDhbacc). You can do the whole thing in about 10 minutes, and it leaves your whole body feeling nice and relaxed.
> But we can’t let our people not see each other, they won’t communicate well.

I disagree with this point. Yes, people can communicate effectively from afar, but can they communicate as well as they could if they were sat in a room? I don't think so.
I think that privacy is unsustainable. I don't think we should strive to protect it. We should work toward enabling people to live fully transparent lives.

When I say "app", I mean all software including websites. The main problem to tackle is not a technical one, but a design one. It's with the UX fragmentation that I have a problem. A native mega-app that contains mini-apps with different UX is not better than what we have today.

The web browser is even worse than native apps, as there's not even a minimal set of guidelines that help unify the web experience.
While I don't like the branding move at all, I think the concern that people will start calling them moz-colon-forward-slash-forwadslash-a is a little ridiculous. Is Sony's line of laptops Analog Wave One Zero? Is Verizon Verizoncheckmark? Is Johnson & Johnson Johnson ampersand Johnson? Is Comcast CComcast? No, because people aren't complete idiots. Those that are going to know/care about Mozilla will be able to tell it's a little web reference nestled inside the logo and that it still reads "Mozilla".
