>His point is that enforcing property rights explicitly deprives others. If something is scarce, then the moment I wall it off, others become poorer for it.

That makes absolutely no sense. That's like saying preventing people from feasting on your flesh makes them all poorer. I'm using an extreme example to demonstrate the absurdity of the argument that enforcing exclusive control over abundant and practically free natural resources that you've appropriated and applied work to in order to turn it into something highly valuable (whether that be soil, water CO^2 and sunlight that you converted into food and then into bodily mass, or sand that you melted into silicon and turned into a microprocessor), deprives others of their rights.
It has been more than a couple of years in Holland, Portugal and other places. People seem to smoke less when it's legal. And we have enough experience by now to see through the silly propaganda when it comes to health risks. The war on cannabis is about profit and control; there are no health risks to speak of; on the contrary, it helps a lot of people live normal lives without poisoning themselves with stupid chemical cocktails.
The performance benefits of virtual DOM / DOM diffing are way, way overrated IMO. You can use that stuff with Polymer where you really need it, but I just use plain Polymer for everything and it's awesome. I think the time for React is gone :-P
Leaving can always be painful for a company, but it happens all the time and life (usually) goes on. How much knowledge do you have that's central to you and only you? Have you thought about offering to put in some contracting hours when it fits your schedule should they need it?

I think there's two ways that a manager could look at this. One way is they could be personally affronted and take a negative attitude about it. The other way would be a little more introspective, and understand that you leaving was a symptom of other problems, and in that case they might be a little saddened but want to focus more on making changes to prevent something like this happening again.

At the end of the day though, the way I would look at this is that it's way more in your best interest to make your new employer happy than to make your old employer happy. There's a lot more downside to starting off on the wrong foot with your soon-to-be-current employer, than leaving on the best note possible with a former employer.
OK, response from my friend: The timeline for release is roughly equal to "however long it takes him to finish his PhD" (since the EPA/USDA paperwork and red tape cutting is more or less his thesis).

Hello World – a new magazine for educators
If I were your fellow dev I'd be mildly annoyed that the setbacks meant you couldn't see launch, and we couldn't celebrate with you, so long as I understood that your hands were tied. You tried to see it through, but circumstances dictated otherwise. Communication is key.

As the new employer, I'd be distinctly annoyed if you pushed back a week; they're probably counting on you and starting to schedule new starter stuff. That could colour an entire working relationship badly.

Good luck with the new job!
I think that is true, although people have been doing MBAs for a much longer time than the tech boom has been around for: e.g. doing an MBA was viable a route into Finance since at least the 80s.

Though MBAs have certainly been growing in popularity over the past few years.

How is it comparing with taking, say, Semantic-UI, and use it with Vue?
That comment, I think, is going to have to do side by side comparisons of the relevant figures from the manufacturer specification sheets.

Not only that, there are different grades. A 18650 is a size and voltage specification. As in, it's like calling a battery a AA or AAA: any AA or AAA fits into a device and makes it run, but some AAs and AAAs last a lot longer than other batteries in flat out runtime, or survive usage in abusive devices, or in extreme weather conditions, or so forth.

There are low grade 18650s just as there are high grade 18650s. Maximum capacity isn't the only way to measure a battery, but also it's maximum discharge rate and thermal characteristics under load; as in, larger capacity isn't always better in some use cases.

It sounds like he saw one specification sheet of the new upcoming product, and generalized it to every battery in that size. A quick Google Search (tm) did not yield any useful statements on such.

I personally assume that the grade of battery used in the Model 3 battery packs is going to be similar to the lowest grade used in the Model S, but with lower available engine torque to compensate for the smaller overall battery pack size.
Just want to say that what I feared was going to be an angry grammar-nazi-stand-off was actually a pleasant, friendly, and informative discussion of the possibilities of language usage in different contexts. Cheers for keeping your heads, all.

It is understandable that you want to stay until the project is released.

Typically this is what happens on bad projects. Developers stay until they finish the job and then they leave. One of the best ways to evaluate the success of a project is to see if the team is stronger and more empowered after the project. If people leave, it says a lot.

Keep your commitment to the new employer, it's important.

Possibly offer to consult for the previous employer, and/or simply let them know they can contact you if there's something they can't figure out.

Don't expect to be contacted -- they have 14 other developers which is far more than many projects that people leave.
A Carbon Tax: The Climate Deal Everyone Really Wants
My first 3 months on the iMessage App Store
I have two comments.

1.) Have you ever considered that the job is fine, but you are the problem?? I am almost 40 and have been in and around this industry for a long time. To me, it sounds like your senior developers don't trust you. From what I'm reading, it sounds like you are bored and have tuned out from the job. Senior people tend to have a very good nose for juniors who have tuned out. And frankly, it is frustrating to deal with juniors like that. When I've been in that situation, I more commonly than not give them the absolute shit tasks in the hope that they won't f* up anything too critical.

2.) Has it ever occurred to you that you might not be a good fit for one of the big tech companies? I don't know you, but it sounds like you have a bit of an ego. That's fine, but in big companies, you are going to have to prove yourself before you get to work on anything truly interesting. If your ego is bigger than your contributions, you may never reach that point. There is a whole world of tech outside of the big tech companies. Consider taking a look at some smaller companies. Startups would likely give you the challenges you feel you deserve.

Good luck and I hope that this hasn't come across as too harsh. You're in a tough spot, but tough spots are perfect moments for self reflection. Take some time, think this over and trust me, this will get better.
But it's practically impossible to overdose, you'll fall asleep before you get anywhere close. It's one of the least harmful substances in active use.
I don't know, I think it kinda depends on how you look at it. Sure oxygen doesn't burn without a fuel source, but a fuel source won't burn without oxygen either; both are required in order to produce fire. Why do we then say the fuel is burning but not the oxygen? Just a thought...
You should leave now and not look back. Chances are there will be even more delays forthcoming and since the dev team has shown a willingness to work nights/weekends that trend will continue, but with more earnest once paying customer are on board.

Prioritize your life the way any companies are prioritizing their existence over yours.

Contracts are what binds you. And I know few companies that extend their loyalties beyond the contract except maybe the foreign legion.

Be as morally entitled to your company that they have been morally correct to you if you have a conscience. And what you describe is a death march. You are probably leaving the company because of a death march. Why would you insist being nice to a company obviously making their coders' life a hell because of their management mis-decisions for which they are fatly paid?

Except of course if you are the Légion Étrangère or special forces. In this case, well, that is their sense of abnegation that makes their reputation and make them trusted. But I guess you are no special forces sent on a secret mission where you risk your life.

And that is the reason why they suffer, so we have this kind of rights.

Go can be written without good IDE. I just use Sublime with Go plugin it works great. Also Gogland gives sub-par experience to many experienced Go users.

Ascribing human emotions and behaviors to animals without a lot of evidence is bad, like saying that the male was forcing the female to mate. The animal expert did not say that.

The image is of a highly stressed male that is trying to get the attention of a dead female by nudging and lifting the head with his arm. It might look odd, but its no more strange than a peacock lifting his feathers over a cat. In human terms we call that confused behavior, as we don't generally say that peacocks are raping cats.
He just needed to learn to let go a little trust the people who work for him.
I think you're covering pre-launch 'find out what users want' while an MVP and iteration focuses on the next phase of that question, after you launch something and want to start getting into the specifics, 'find out what my users want'.
If the current project has been poorly managed so far & dates keep slipping, that is likely to continue to be the case. The launch date could slip even further.

You already arranged a leave date with your employer, and you already went beyond what you were required to by trying to schedule that so you could help launch the project. You are not responsible for their failure to hit their schedules.

Trying to push your start date back with your new employer could also damage your upcoming relationship with them: they're more likely to care that the date change hurts their plans then that you want to do something generous for your current employer.

I think you should get out.

This is very interesting, and rings true on many levels.

For one, it takes a certain level of competence to be able to differentiate between good and bad work. If your boss can't tell the difference between the two, workers will be rewarded/punished/promoted/fired based on some other metrics, which are likely to be unfair or even arbitrary.

Another, is that bosses and managers are responsible for providing guidance. If you have two ways to do something and aren't sure which is best, it's natural to go to your manager for advice. If you get the feeling that the advice you get is worthless (or even harmful), then you'll feel lost and unsupported.

And finally, in many organizations, the boss sets priorities. If he doesn't understand the work, he is likely to have unrealistic or actively harmful expectations. And you'll feel like you're wasting your time.

All of these things are terrible for morale.
I'm not sure what you mean by that. The most common case is that the male has the prong that is inserted into the female hole.

"if enforcement of property rights de facto takes away peoples realistic ability to provide for themselves"

Removal of property rights intrinsically takes people's ability to provide for themselves away and replaces it with dependency. Some people seem to prefer this arrangement and I can respect that, but when they describe it as 'liberty', I assume that they must have lost their minds.
I like Swift after using Objective-C for many years, and most agree. As others have said, I don't see much new code coming from Apple or anyone else in Objective-C.

And that you can include Objective-C libraries and classes/files and call them from Swift.

The important things (housing, health care, ...) have gotten more expensive.

Housing cost per square foot hasn't changed significantly for most of the country overall [1]. What has changed is our demand for greater square footage. Home sizes have steadily and drastically risen.

And that relative consistency has held while the quality of the housing - better energy efficiency, safer construction, etc. - has steadily increased.

We get more quality for our money today, but we complain because our demand for greater quantity comes with a higher price tag.

[1] The situation in metro areas having extreme regulations interfering with new construction, e.g., San Francisco, differs because of the regulation that putatively protects the residents, but in fact sends costs through the roof.

I don't think it is as easy to identify "facts" as this article implies. For example, which of the following statements are factual:

1) The effective radiating temperature of the earth, T_e, is determined by the need for infrared emission from the planet to balance absorbed solar radiation:

pi*R^2(1-A)*S_0 = 4*pi*R^2*sigma*T_e^4

where R is the radius of the earth, A the albedo of the earth, S_0 the flux of solar radiation, and sigma the Stefan-Boltzmann constant.

2) Rearranged, this equation gives:

T_e = [S_0*(1-A)/(4*sigma)]^0.25

3) For A - 0.3 and So = 1367 watts per square meter, this yields T_e ~ 255 K.

4) The mean surface temperature is T_s ~ 288 K.

5) The excess, T_s - T_e, is the greenhouse effect of gases and clouds
