> "Lies propagate, that's what I'm saying. You've got to tell more lies to cover them up, lie about every fact that's connected to the first lie. And if you kept on lying, and you kept on trying to cover it up, sooner or later you'd even have to start lying about the general laws of thought. Like, someone is selling you some kind of alternative medicine that doesn't work, and any double-blind experimental study will confirm that it doesn't work. So if someone wants to go on defending the lie, they've got to get you to disbelieve in the experimental method. Like, the experimental method is just for merely scientific kinds of medicine, not amazing alternative medicine like theirs. Or a good and virtuous person should believe as strongly as they can, no matter what the evidence says. Or truth doesn't exist and there's no such thing as objective reality. A lot of common wisdom like that isn't just mistaken, it's anti-epistemology, it's systematically wrong. Every rule of rationality that tells you how to find the truth, there's someone out there who needs you to believe the opposite. If you once tell a lie, the truth is ever after your enemy; and there's a lot of people out there telling lies—"

It's economically naive to think that "people clinging to the past" is somehow the root cause of Brexit and Trump. Why do people cling to the past? It's usually because they feel uncertainty around something in the present and foreseeable future. And for many who cast their vote in favor of these dubious causes, the present was materially bad enough for them, whether through unemployment, stagnating wages, or pay cuts, to take the chance.

In our bubble where we work in tech with stable, high-paying jobs, health insurance, and benefits, these people look hopelessly provincial. But it was by ignoring or dismissing them in the first place that Brexit and Trump were allowed to happen.

That's what the article calls them, but the Standard uses the term "trap representations". The point is that a trap representation does not represent a value. (A representation is the bit sequence stored in an object. A value is more abstract; it's a member of the set of possible values of a type. A value can have more than one representation.)

The Balkanization of news and opinions is a minor facet of the overall situation that's unfolding.

The biggest thing going on is opinion shapers and propagandists have been given powerful tools the 20th century PR men could have only dreamed about. Growth hacking, sentiment analysis, personal network analysis, and deep learning are all things that allow cunning people to do extraordinary things.

Messages can be tested and fine tuned to see which ideas resonate. Communication channels can be established directly to the recipient of your message by creating Facebook groups and the like.

I don't have a strong feeling either way, but sometimes not giving a value to a variable allows the compiler and static analyser to quite easily detect uses of non-initialized. OTOH, assigning '0', a perfectly valid value, to a variable initially, might help to conceal bugs when the variable is not updated to the actual value before use.

We would really need a "not-a-value" for integral types in order to create them initialized by default, and there is no such thing unfortunately. This is different for pointers (except in very specific situations) and for floating-point types, so these should be initialized.

Yes. Dissatisfaction is the source of productivity, and that's all our bodies care about. If someone were 100% satisfied with everything around them, there would be no reason for them to move or change anything. The ideal state for survival is just above depression. Happiness and pleasure are directional guides, "purposely" ephemeral so that we can get back to work distancing ourselves from death. Max Buddha would mean sitting until death, with no dissatisfaction for lack of nutrients or air or self actualization. Still the pursuit of this peace is extremely worthwhile because left unchecked, our dissatisfaction grows out of control, over-optimizing ruthless survival in place of contentment. Don't feel guilty for not being in a constant state of euphoria (looking at you west-coasters :-D), this is our lot as humans.

That's how I see it.
I am curious as to why there is (at the time of writing this) a 79 job cluster around Pensacola of remote work positions.
This sounds plausible enough. We tend not to laugh at things we expect to happen.

Does this mean more intelligent people are less likely to laugh, esp on simple jokes, as they can anticipate them? It takes more complex ideas/stories for them to enjoy the surprise. Sometimes their jokes are also too complex for others. This may partially cause a chasm between people with a wide gap in cognitive skills/ability.

It probably helps if you're in k-12 school at the time (loads of free time), Netflix hasn't been invented yet, it's still kind of possible to run out of crap to look at on the Web, and even though it's the mid-late nineties the only video game console in your house is an NES.

I doubt I'm even close to the only developer who ended up here because it was easy to end up in a computer-related learning loop just trying to get video games (or Encarta, or that Win98 upgrade, or your fancy new dial-up connection, or whatever) to work, there were fewer easy distractions at the time, and that skillset originally picked up while trying to play video games provided surprisingly easy entry into a career path that was both (much) easier and (way) better-paying than the things we might actually want to do with our lives. Hard to get off that track when you're in high school and already falling into (relatively, compared to your peers) high-paying jobs.
I would say the serverless model in general, is going to take off (it already is) really fast. Infrastructure as code, security as code. Big data, machine learning, neural networks/deep learning is taking off so without doing a PhD, at least high level awareness of the field is definitely worth learning, from Spark to Tensorflow, it's good to have familiarity with the field.

Understanding JWT and how it works as it seems to gain momentum.

Angular2, React, Vue I think are all worth learning and playing with as each developer will have a different taste. It looks like React is getting a lot of traction everywhere.

ES6, Promises, Async/Await, TypeScript, Babel, WebPack etc are definitely worth getting familiar with.

A few of these articles are suggesting that uploads be performed from public places (e.g., Starbucks) for the sake of anonymity/deniability. But it would seem that performing these actions in public would potentially reveal your identity, actions, and secret codename to any eyes or cameras around. As a question of general curiosity about anonymity, how does one weigh the benefits of using an open internet access point with the more literal visibility that using a public access point might entail?
Right, so an organizational and architectural problem. It's even got a specific term: Bus factor.

He'll be 72 in 2020. That'd make him easily the oldest President inaugurated. Biden reportedly shied away from it because of his age (74) and Sanders (75) has said age would probably prevent him from running again in 2020 (although he hasn't ruled it out completely from what I remember). Given he ran and lost (although I guess not technically...) 20 years previous, I can't imagine he'd consider it.

That said, I realize this was likely a joke comment. Still thought I'd point out the age factor, though.

And then there's Itanium: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20040119-00/?p=...

Consider that any particular local variable might be allocated to a register. If the local variable has not been initialized, it might have junk from a previous use, and that junk might have the NaT bit set. Reading from that local variable, or even spilling it to the stack, can cause an exception.

The cost of getting what you want from the president is the next president undoing it. Over the long term, I suspect that's way more destructive and wasteful than waiting longer for Congress to decide to do something which then stands a chance of being the law for a while and actually achieving something.

Also, when you stop giving all the important, flashy stuff to the president and let Congress have a bit of limelight, you'll probably find them rising to the challenge (more than today, at least, where Congress only gets credit for the boring stuff that the president don't want).
Thank you for this pointer!
I have been volunteering at my local codeclub for about a year now. Loads of fun and they have a full online curriculum[0] full of resources that cover everything mentioned in the parent. They also recently partnered with the raspberry pi foundation so I am sure we will see more crossover in that space soon.

Code club is a volunteer lead international coding club, maybe see if you have any local clubs that you can support or if you can find some people that would be happy volunteering a couple of hours every week to run one at a local library (or similar).

All of the resources use web technologies, so they can learn python through a browser at a library computer without needing their own resources.

Another thing I have been part of is OMG Tech![1] which holds events every two months with the aim of exposing children to tech that they wouldn't have experienced otherwise. So imagine taking a bunch of kids from low decile schools and having fun with 3d printing, robotics, coding, science experiments and more. The theory being that a lot of kids don't go into tech because they just don't know about it, have never experienced or think it is just too hard. So just showing them that they can do this really cool stuff goes a long way.

Even in the scientific community there are arguments about epistemology -- thus the occasional paradigm shift. Currently many scientific disciplines are overly reliant on Frequentist evidence, but many scientists only have a weak understanding of statistics, so we've ended up in a situation where most published studies in some fields are not reproducible. I expect the dominant episteme will shift within the next couple decades.

Has there ever been a business with significant commercial success that designed a peer to peer architecture to serve as the foundation of it's technology or IP?

I can only think of one, that being Skype. Of course that doesn't mean Peer5 can't do it, and I sincerely hope they do because I always root for entrepreneurs.

However there seems to be this weird disconnect between p2p architectures and profitable companies, even though the theory is so powerful. I can only guess as to why:

- The illegal stuff has somehow unfairly tarnished public opinion

- It's too low level and is only suitable for standards like WebRTC where lots of people buy in at once to provide enough momentum

- It's not easy to do right
Ask HN: 2 very different job offers
Background: I finished my CS degree about 8 months ago, and since then have been working full time for a university as the sole developer of an interesting android application. The job has been enjoyable and fun, working with great people for extremely poor pay. The application in question is reasonably simple from a dev point, but quite revolutionary from a science point, and the team of Professors and post docs is in talks with Google, Carnegie Mellon and other well know organisations to help build it out. The money was running out and they were not sure what would be happening so I started looking for a new job.

Now: Went to three job interviews with well known companies for android dev roles, got rejected by 2 , and got offered an android SDET role at another big company ( >$10 billion market cap). I was not really looking for SDET, but the team seems really good, lots of mentoring etc. Plus 100% salary bump (90k). I have verbally accepted this offer (yesterday), but as yet have not signed anything ( job is in Seattle if that makes any difference, I plan on moving).Today the university team contacted me and said that because of the interest in their work they had managed to secure research funding, and can offer me a full time role at around 70k.

My thoughts: As a new developer, I think working with others who could mentor me would be beneficial. On the other hand, people, and HN, seem to suggest that going down the SDET path can be career limiting.
Also, if I stay at the university, I would be working alongside well known names in machine learning that are using the data the app gathers to solve hard problems that have long been thought to be insolvable, but new technology is making (maybe) solvable. Note I have no experience in ML other than a 4th year AI subject, but would love to learn more on my own time, and think that is something I could probably do.

Take the SDET? Stay at uni? Look for different SDE role? Any ideas welcome!
I just know about the IPFS team, but not familiar enough with their stuff. From my experience usually a synchronization oriented distributed algorithm can be very different from what a use-case like Video On Demand, or Live video requires. In terms of chunk allocations, predictions of what's going to be needed and so froth. But I definitely should familiarize myself more with their stuff.
