> It's all dance pads, racing games and FPS.

Except those music dancing games are really, really good now. Jubeat, Sound Voltex, Pop'n Music, Taiko no Tatsujin, DDR.

> Mortal Kombat

There's a ton of good arcade fighters. Injustice and Mortal Kombat X if you like that style.

But I personally have a preference for Guilty Gear, Blazblue, Marvel vs Capcom, Killer Instinct. Other players prefer Tekken, Street Fighter 5, etc. etc.

You said "like" SAP, not SAP only, so let me suggest Cobol. It's a language we rarely hear about but it is an exotic niche that could also pay well. Well, this is just an idea, I'm not an expert on Cobol.
What do you mean by the accent remark? America didn't have a shortage of accents in movies before LOTR, that's for sure.
Starting in an analyst, support, or end-user role is a good way to get exposure. Or try working with a small boutique consulting firm as an alternative to the big guys, you may get more variety of experience.

Understanding the business processes supported by the application will set you apart from other developers. It is common to find developers without business process or functional experience, and visa versa. If you have some of both types of experience it will set you apart.

The Parse folks seem to have handled this reasonably well but this is the perfect illustration of why building your own application around a third party service like this is not a pure win. There is a tradeoff and it can in fact bite you.

Remember this great article about a German machinery company opening a factory in the US and not being able to find candidates that knew what a micron was. CNC needs to be precise.

They started hiring veterans of the US forces, because those guys at least got trained on heavy, expensive machinery.
A simple solution: Auction the visas.

This will raise the price of foreign talent until it reaches a balance point so it will be more difficult to abuse the visa system to bring "cheap labor".
I used to teach at a high school in rural Wisconsin. The vocational classes you mention are still offered with good connections/support from the local manufacturing industry.

This may not be as true as it once was, but they're still alive, kicking, and well attended.
I was going to say pretty much this answer - good ideas stand out on their own, not because [insert person] says it is good. There are many fantastic developers out there that you probably have not heard of their name until they come up with a new idea that blows up or they become known for a prticular talk given or project released - the moment of recognition isn't the point where they suddenly became a developer at that level.

I find that it is better for developers to go through the exploration of ideas and to come to their own conclusions/path on the ideas that works for them. Encouraging that academic learning is much better than recommending a specific person for people to dump their time listening to.
I doubt that is the persons only job. She might be the costume person or in charge of continuity. It's like how the union guys who are in charge of moving everything (teamsters I think) won't let you move anything

That's the problem. It wasn't a great prototyping tool. Great prototyping tools are fine. Parse was not a great prototyping tool. In my not-terribly-nuanced-opinion, it was a really nice GUI wrapped around a not-so-great shim on top of MongoDB.

I don't have specific experience with Firebase, but I believe that from what I've heard from others using it, has a much better design that would survive much longer in the face of growth.

You say that you had to involve other databases two years in? The startups I've seen using parse are failing over to alternative technology much, much sooner.
The cold start impact is quite high, but that's only for APIs which have been idle or are scaling up rapidly.

If you were getting even 1 request per second, the container last used would remain live, so the response time would then be in line with normal responses from a typical NodeJS server running the same code.

I agree though, supplying binaries in something like Go or Rust will be a very nice addition.

Didn't AppImage solve the problem of no-sudo containerized apps already? I tried AppImage following a post on HN recently, all you need to do is download your desired program, it's just one file, call it `filename` then `chmod a+x filename` and `./filename ` that's it. I can finally run Google Earth without crashes under Linux.

Most companies I've dealt with had some sort of "core hours" policy in place.
Typically 8am - 4pm unless your job requires you to work with ppl in different time zones on a regular bases.
Anything outside of that would require your manager's approval. 7-3 is typically not a major issue with the exception that you'll stay later if need be for meetings/P1s (although that's a different can of worms) etc.
Please, report any problems you encounter. We can't fix things we don't know about :)
More Trump hysteria.

After the last two months of temper-tantrums, you'd think that the checks and balances within the US government were a work of fiction and GOP brownshirts were roaming the streets, beating up anyone who didn't adhere to the Aryan ideal.

Rational thought has been replaced with emotional, knee-jerk responses and panic in many circles. It's pathetic.
...and they often leave with source code. (I've personally helped 3 companies deal with that very issue in the last year)
Ouch. For a long time this form of error was the #1 cause of system breakage in SunOS. Someone would go in and change an option or add a 'version' line that would print before the output, or re-order how you typed args, and blam! a bunch of bug reports would come flying in what some program was broken (sometimes commercial programs where now source was available) because they had system('foo bar bletch'); in them somewhere.

Very hard to test for as there weren't explicit dependencies and no amount of 'don't count on this output staying the same' warning messages helped.

The quality of those images is very nice. Smartphones definitely don't come close to those colours. No doubt the photographers skill also plays a big role, but that "pigment print" is sublime.
Here are my two cents, the relationship of the VISA should be between the government and the VISA Holder. The fact that companies act as sponsors of this VISA is literally indentured servitude. Companies gladly exploit indian workers by gobbling unreasonable hourly commissions and paying peanuts because the Indian worker has no other option and was sold this american dream. Remove the company from this equation and everything should sort itself out.

Ok, so as noted, the backend canonical servers are for easy of use. It's possible to use another service if one was inclined. Still don't see what's specific about vendor lockin. If you couldn't run your own service and change the default provider, then I could agree that it's vendor lock-in but it needs (currently) a ubuntu or docker to build the snaps. I still don't class that as vendor lock-in. It's just missing effort in terms of multi-distro support.
Saying it's vendor lock-in throws up fairly draconian images in my head and that's far from the case.
For the sake of preserving the structure, I'd prefer WeasyPrint.
There's a risk of exploitation by employers - hire workers for unskilled jobs, "train" them for a few months, then make them redundant when the subsidy runs out.

Here in the UK, there used to be a lower minimum wage for trainees. It was common practice for employers to classify bartenders or farm labourers as trainees for protracted periods, even though no real training was being provided.
One of the things they don't tell you about getting old (or you don't believe it, or you ignore it) is that once you've seen/heard enough stories/music, it all starts to sound/look the same. I can tell from a trailer or sometimes even a movie poster exactly how a movie will play out to the point I don't want to see it because I'll be bored to tears. This is also why Hollywood markets to the young: they haven't been alive long enough yet to recognize the repetition.

I tried to reply to your comment you just deleted.
Support for protectionism and regulation in this context are frequently derided as racist (or generally bigoted). It's amusing given how easily "Americans won't do these jobs" (which is code for "Americans are lazy, entitled, etc.") slips into the discussion.

Thanks for reporting this!

P3 is not that bad tbh. I understand that for each one of us the bug that affects us is the most important one, but working with bugzilla is a bit like data mining. We have 1.3 million bugs reported and we track our respective components, cluster similar bugs and solutions and prioritize what is affecting most people in most crucial ways.

The fact that your bug got triaged and [gfx-noted] is a good sign. It's on their triageboard now and may soon get clustered with other Google website related graphics bugs.
You'll get an email when it happens.

Thanks for your help!

It didn't affect me anything like a spliff, you're massively over-exaggerating the effect. Also caffeine you build a tolerance to, so that's not something you're normally experience when drinking a coffee.

The tricky part about Clinton "not matching the numbers" of Obama's reelection is that she received more votes than he did. She received more votes than everyone who has ever ran for President with the exception of Obama in 2008.

Nobody is claiming that Trump's win is illegitimate due to the electoral vs. popular mismatch, but it's clear that something is seriously wrong when a candidate can win an election by several million votes and still lose the presidency. If I were a Democrat, I'd be even more annoyed that my party had won the popular vote four times in the 21st Century and only won the presidency twice.

I think the obvious answer is to increase the number of representatives in the House. Wyoming residents currently have 3x the influence in presidential elections as people from Texas, which is seriously askew given the relative power of the two.

But if it's a C library then there are memory issues, buffer overflows, undefined behaviour — everything that's bad about C.

Fitbit totally killed itself for me when it decided to launch its own ecosystem without integrating itself into HealthKit and Google Fit. I understand that they thought they were creating an ecosystem for their users but by choosing to ignore the platforms that the major OS manufacturers had created, they essentially locked everyone out of integration with non-Fitbit devices. I bought a Fitbit Aria scale and a Fitbit device and was furious when I found out that I couldn't integrate that data with MyFitnessPal or RunKeeper or Strava without buying another app to allow syncing to the Fitbit website.

Now I have an Apple Watch and we traded our scale for a Withings scale that works with HealthKit and Google Fit and everyone in the family is happy whether they're on Android or iOS. Walled gardens are fine but not if they're locked, walled gardens.

Firms often claim they want to hire on the basis of merit, but then don't offer the salaries necessary to hire on that basis. E.g., those that have higher abilities through merit deserve substantially higher salaries, based on merit.

The firms can find people on merit, but they are trying to lower the amount of money paid for people, so they seek immigrants to depress wage rates.
Yes that's what I was referring to, the terminology I used has been used before in C++. Rust s moves are considered destructive in the sense that the old object is no longer functional, which of course is fine because it can't be used.

Good times. I owned one of these.

The TI-99/4A was never very popular, but there was one store called "The Bach Company" on San Antonio Road in Palo Alto that specialized in selling hardware and software for it.

It's easy to forget just how hard it was to get software for a home computer in the early 1980s. If you had a modem, then you could use bulletin boards, but the first 300 baud models (plus required RS-232 interface) cost even more than the computer itself and so were out of reach for me at least.

One of the things the Bach Company sold was 99/4A software on audio cassette. It was packaged in a plastic bag along with a paper printout brochure. Even though I was just a kid, looking back I'm amazed that it never once occurred to me that I could sell software the same way.
There's a castle that someone built in Tennessee of all places: http://www.tnhomeandfarm.com/tn-living/castle-gwynn/

I think its pretty easy, Pebble adds some additional "watch" market, and if you lay off the people you've added more customers without adding a lot of additional cost.

Long before it was 'trendy' the monitoring your hearbeat etc market was there for serious athletes. That is, and continues to be a niche market. So there are too many players chasing too few customers who aren't going to upgrade their equipment every year and aren't willing to pay a monthly service charge for reading that equipment so the market seems quite a bit smaller than it once appeared.
It's a shame so many people think of the Data Access Object design pattern as something only Java developers should be using. Using DAOs to provide database-agnostic access to your data takes a few moments more at first, but then when you need to move data from $DB_X to $DB_Y, there's a lot less wailing and gnashing of teeth.

My impression is that Fitbit is seeing a lot of pressure from devices like the Apple Watch. Though I've encountered people who still like and use a Fitbit even after purchasing an Apple Watch, I can see that declining in the future. I think wrist devices like the Apple Watch and similar Android devices are here to stay, especially as they get smaller, have added features, and the UX improves.
I think creating a Xi frontend that mimicked Kakoune's modal keybindings and highlighting would be an interesting exercise, and probably stretch the set of supported ideas in Xi in a good way.

Facebook bought it.
Since I didn't quite answer your question before, the two hemispheres of the cortex are surprisingly independent. However, there's a big "interconnect" in the middle called the corpus callosum, which is a bundle of axons that cross from one hemisphere to another. It's fairly easy to find on an MRI--it's the elongated u-shaped object with the labels on it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpus_callosum#/media/File:Co... (The labels indicate different parts of it).

For patients with really severe epilepsy (where the seizueres are causing slips and falls), one possible treatment is to cut this bundle to prevent the epileptic activity from spreading across both hemispheres. You basically just slice through them with a knife. Since neurons are very small and delicate, it's extremely unlikely that the membranes (essentially drops of oil) would reform in a way that would permit them to carry information.

Since the corpus callosum contains most of the inter-hemispheric connections, cutting it is often sufficient to prevent the siezure from spreading (and also to produce weird split-brain phenomena). However, there are a few other locations where there are cross-hemispheric connections. The anterior and posterior commissure are two other "interconnects." There may also some much more indirect interactions through subcortical structures.
I'm having some trouble understanding this sentence:

" [...] our 3-D ‘reality’ (plus time) is contained in a 2-D surface on its boundaries."

What, exactly, do they mean with 'on its boundries'?
They bought the Pebble assets for <$40 million. The engineering knowledge and brand awareness was a steal and must-do, even for a struggling company. Remember, they still did $500 million in revenue in Q4.

Fitbit and the entire wearable industry is in a similar position to Pandora and Twitter. There's a massive need to re-adjust expectations.

You can build a very successful music streaming business, social communication company, and wearable manufacturing company... if you gauge the size of your market correctly. Guess wrong and Expenses > Revenues = panic (unless you've got Uber's pocketbook).
