I think I'd like to point out two very important points you may be missing:

1. This was implemented directly to combat the prevalence of bots on the EU & NA servers (and the annoyance some players were facing when they were just playing AIs all the time), where you're now not allowed to bot on. Players have the option of choosing whether or not they wish to play against bots, but if they wish not to they can still play on the NA and EU servers.

2. We're supported by ads, but that doesn't mean we want to stop people enjoying the game in their own ways. We still have tens of thousands of players daily on the other servers, so a few tens of pounds on a bot server for people to compete in programming against one another doesn't seem too problematic.

And, to address your movement concern, it was a tough decision to make. But we wanted to allow everyone to enjoy the game, even people with lag or on mobile devices (where control is significantly harder). If you dislike the new movement settings, you are able to disable them in the options menu.

At my current position, there are several hundred devs, but only a dozen or so senior web devs. They look for more, but it's taking time for the glut of new people pouring into the field to learn all the old while keeping up with all the new stuff every year.

I started off in the back-end a number of years ago, but quickly found myself being shoved to the front-end because I knew what to do and didn't complain loudly enough. I'd love to do more than just the occasional back-end job. I'd love to have a break from the constant headaches of making stuff work across dozens of incompatible browsers developed over the past decade, but moving to the backend full-time would cut my pay significantly.

Supply, demand, and being forced into the undesirable job are paying off for me at the moment, but that doesn't mean that every other part of the market is dying for people.
There are plenty of apps that are pretty close to what you're describing, basically MS Access for the web. They're usually called “app builders”. Knack, Zoho Creator, etc.

The real problem is that this way of creating 1.0 gives you no path to get to 2.0. Dietzler’s Law for Access:

“Every Access project will eventually fail because, while 80% of what the user wants is fast and easy to create, and the next 10% is possible with difficulty, ultimately the last 10% is impossible because you can’t get far enough underneath the built-in abstractions, and users always want 100% of what they want.”

Probably because the methodologies used to determine the proper intake are very rudimentary. For example, for some nutrients the RDA is whatever it takes to start seeing it excreted in urine. The analogy would be like a cup overflowing. How you get from that to recommending the "proper" intake requires making a significant number of unproven assumptions.

So there's usually quite significant room for disagreement, especially as new evidence ever so slowly emerges. It doesn't help that trying to pinpoint a single number for each specific nutrient is a rather arbitrary goal.

Which is why the "balanced diet" approaches makes the most sense as a general recommendation--it's an affirmation not of what we do know, but of what we don't know.
Ah, you're right, you were referring to on-windows progress.

And "years behind on their git version" is I think the norm for git users :) I pretty regularly have to recommend that coworkers / etc upgrade from git 1.7 (or 1.8 or something similar) to an even-remotely-modern version.

It was simply a factually incorrect statement. It was about grammar as much as "fish ride bicycles" is about grammar.

edit: It actually wasn't incorrect at all... I'd lost track of the original statement:) It was just something that would be obvious to people who understood basic chemistry. Either way, it wouldn't be a question of grammar (any more than "some fish swim in the ocean.")
Google Home is starting to get there, especially in the games where the total set of commands and responses is much lower. It definitely has room to grow, but it'll get there given time. VR was terrible in the 90s, now it's breathtaking.
Not bullish at all on SNAP at current valuations. It needs to drop significantly (i.e. more like an $7-13bn valuation, with good growth, and preferably $700MM-1bn in revenue) before I will consider buying in.

There are plenty of stocks out there with sufficient potential upside that I don't need to use leverage (either by borrowing at high interest on margin, or by borrowing and shorting expensive shares). Borrowing at low interest rates I will consider, but probably only for stable dividend shares.

I'm 90% certain that this won't be a killer IPO, if you look back 2 years after it floats. But there are sufficient interesting companies out there for me not to care about how it does, either way. Just putting it on my 'to watch' list.

My experience is that many tech jobs on Wall Street no longer pay more than tech jobs at tech companies. I probably know more developers who have capped out at high 100s or 200s at banks than I do at Google, Facebook, Netflix, etc.

But it is also very difficult to hire a qualified candidate. There is also data suggests that SDE's salary has been hiking for several years in a row and beyond inflation rate. If there is no shortage, how so?

I don't think paying 110k+ in Bay Area for a entry level is unfair, but from what I can tell, my company has a hard time finding one candidate and often the ones we like also get multiple offers and prefer big companies like Google/Facebook, etc.

Yes, 'qualified' is very subjective standard, however, if you ask 5 experienced people, their opinion towards the same candidate barely changes dramatically from one and another, it is either unanimously yes/no, very rarely in between.

So, I think yes, there is a lot of STEM students, but how many of them actually have actual engineering skills is question left for debate.

Sorry but even recent history just proves you totally wrong.

You only have to go back less than 20 years and look at the Yugoslavian wars. Specially in Bosnia Herzegovina.

In Bosnia neighbours were killing neighbours, friends were killing friends and cousins were killing cousins just because of their religion.
Jet is a joke. People use them only because they sell things at a loss through coupon codes. I only ever see someone talk about them on discount sites, explicitly saying to start a new account just to get the coupon code again. A lot of the things they "shipped" they literally just ordered from other stores that then shipped to the customer. I ordered two things from them, one was ordered and then shipped via New Egg, the other Home Depot.
I see it as related to what you are saying. You will be more likely to have software features or whatever you are designing have features that are applicable to women. You'll think of problems that men don't notice - the classic is startups full of 20 something guys solve different problems that women, such as women with families. Women just face different experiences than men. Similarly, someone from China will probably have a different idea about some things than someone from the US.
Companies avoid sexist choices - a female friend who was a layer was at a place that had an offsite activity where women couldn't be members at a golf club (really!).
The women you have will be more comfortable if they are not a super rare bird. An office with women should have supplies in the bathroom like tampons. A company with men might think of razors or deoderant but not that.

Peter is much more complex but Milo is pretty transparently a professional troll. I'm sure he's overjoyed to get crazy protests at Berkeley and to get banned from Twitter. The more attention he gets the better it is for his brand. He intentionally picks targets that are the most likely to over-react and uses the most inflammatory language he can.

I mean this has to be the trolliest trollmobile that has ever trolled: http://media.breitbart.com/media/2016/09/img_4893_1024-640x4...

People need to learn to not feed the troll. The worst possible thing you can do to Milo is ignore him.
I think science might be overstating it a bit. There are some indicators for some things. For example the first article unfortunately doesn't include a link to the actual paper, so we don't know what tests they used on the groups. I am willing to bet that for specific problems, qualification trumps diversity. For example, to build a new nuclear reactor, putting ten nuclear physicists together would yield better results than 10 random diverse people.

Also, seeing as recently a major share of psychology papers has been found to have serious methodological flaws, I would take this one with a grain of salt, too.

Binary options per se are not banned in America, but you have to have proper regulatory approval. The companies running binary options gambling operations wouldn't be able to meet the approval requirements, because usually those companies don't actually match buyers and sellers directly, so they manipulate the prices more like a bookmaking operation than a financial market.

There is a market that is regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission that only has binary options, but they don't take positions in their own market and meet other regulatory requirements. They even offer binary options on events (Fed funds rate movement, for example) so it acts as a prediction market of sorts. Whether it actually provides a net benefit to the world aside from gambling is very much in question though. I find it hard to believe that people are using their binary options for hedging.

Well, why would those senior people want to apply and work at your company? This is not snark; this is a real question you need to be able to answer if you want a chance at hiring those senior people. Why would a senior person want to up and leave their position, which likely already pays pretty well, and treats them pretty well?
I find that the whole terminology/model falls apart when you get people putting the price into the definition of the thing... Whether explicitly or as an unspoken part of their argument.

This is, per the post, only being specially announced because it affects WinXP and Vista users, because Chrome hasn't supported those platforms after v49.

Software defined power supplies
I'm running a startup right now, and you are absolutely correct -- I would not pay $200k for an analytics person. Our company's unit economics cannot support that type of wage.

However, i'll be honest and say we cannot afford the market wage, so we make development decisions accordingly. It would be dishonest for me to claim a shortage when I'm clearly not paying market wages.

Not wanting to pay market wages is not evidence of a shortage. You get what you pay for. I drive a Hyundai because I am not willing to pay $80,000 for a car. I'll be honest and say I'm unwilling to purchase a Corvette. There is no shortage of Corvettes, i'm just not willing to pay for one. If I try to pay $27,000 for a Corvette, that is not a shortage, that is just nonsensical.

Why Mashvisor ditched stock photos in their ad campaigns
I love this approach. From working at Google I appreciate the virtual filesystem, it makes a lot of things a lot easier. However all my repos are large enough to fit on a single machine so I wish there was a mode where it was backed by a local repository, however the filesystem allows git to avoid tree scans.

Basically most operations in git are O(modified files) however there are a few that are O(working tree size). For example checkout and status were mentioned by the article. However these operations can be made to O(modified) files if git doesn't have to scan the working tree for changes.

So pretty much I would be all over this if:

- It worked locally.

- It worked on Linux.

Maybe I'll see how it's implemented and see if I could add the features required. I'm really excited for the future of this project.

> However when there are Christians (or Muslim) in your country, it's pretty real that suddently the regime wants to kill them with their military and police and they have no force to stand up for them.

Yes, that's why you need strong institutions. The US has admirable (though not perfect) institutions that incorporate these concepts. In the examples you're citing, the institutions were fundamentally weak.

As I mentioned earlier, humans will _always_ find reasons to fight. You can get as white and Christian as you want, but soon some types of white Christians will start fighting other types of white Christians. Medieval Europe and its interminable wars was a great example of this.
I like you, but I think you're wildly overestimating your analytical powers here. You are essentially assuming the truth of your conclusion and ignoring the numerous counterexamples. I might just as speciously argue that it is in the nature of human beings to fight and that absent an identifiable external enemy they'll quickly turn on each other. I often feel that way but assuming it as a fact would lead to all sorts of unwanted result, don't you think?
FPGA -> LUT.

That's aside from the point - homogenousness works internally. Externally, as you pointed out? That's why he said we need total homogenousness.
I have 10+ years of experience---17 actually, or more depending on how you count. I am sitting out the hiring market: instead I'm doing consulting, freelancing, and my own projects. The problem isn't a shortage of 10+ year developers. The problem is too little variance in developer salaries. I look at the salary ranges on StackOverflow and don't see any that are interesting to me. Compared to what I can make on my own, they don't come close. There is tremendous variance in developer productivity, and salaries don't keep up with it. I don't see the same problem with doctors, lawyers, accountants, or many other professions and trades, where your compensation can keep growing all your life. I think 10 years is about when many developers jump ship to management or a second career. I feel very lucky that I can continue doing the programming that I love. But if you want me to come back to full-time employment, it's going to have to be a salary that reflects 17 years of lessons learned, and the productivity, maturity, business sense, and technical judgment my clients are paying for.

So I think you're right that it's not about new grads, but about proven senior people. That's exactly when the salaries plateau. So the people here saying "It's not a shortage if you're paying too little" are right too. There are new grads getting hired for $130k total comp, or even $200k. Offer me $300k plus remote and I'll probably take it. Offer me $400k and maybe I'll even move. Of course that sounds outrageous, but my point is it shouldn't. Not if you consider the difference in value senior people can provide.
I think there is a lot of goodwill and good intentions behind this issue, but I suspect that our understanding of it is missing something (I don't know what). And it's pretty obvious that whatever we're trying to do as an industry isn't working. I expect this state of affairs (industry wanting to do better but not improving much) to continue until something about this changes materially.
Perhaps, but the strong religious motivations for the early colonies is well documented. [1]

> Many of the British North American colonies that eventually formed the United States of America were settled in the seventeenth century by men and women, who, in the face of European persecution, refused to compromise passionately held religious convictions and fled Europe.

Even from the article you link quotes a wide range of religious beliefs:

> Of the 55 delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention, 28 were Church of England (or Episcopalian, after the American Revolutionary War was won), 21 were Protestants, and two were Roman Catholics (D. Carroll, and Fitzsimons).[19] Among the Protestant delegates to the Constitutional Convention, eight were Presbyterians, seven were Congregationalists, two were Lutherans, two were Dutch Reformed, and two were Methodists.

And of special note most of the prominent Founding Fathers most Americans would recognize were either anti-clerical Christians or not specifically Christian or Deists:

> A few prominent Founding Fathers were anti-clerical Christians such as Thomas Jefferson,[20][21][22] who constructed the Jefferson Bible, and Benjamin Franklin.

> Historian Gregg L. Frazer argues that the leading Founders (Adams, Jefferson, Franklin, Wilson, Morris, Madison, Hamilton, and Washington) were neither Christians nor Deists, but rather supporters of a hybrid "theistic rationalism".

So it may have been poor wording on my part, but I don't think it unfair to consider religious freedom an important consideration for the Founding Fathers.

[1] https://www.loc.gov/exhibits/religion/rel01.html
> This is a great idea and solves a real problem for a lot of use cases.

I don't know if "a lot" is the right qualifier. Solitary repos of millions of files have scalability problems even outside the source control system (I mean: how long does it take your workstation to build that 3.5 million-file windows tree?)

A full Android system tree is roughly the same size and works fine with git via a small layer of indirection (the repo tool) to pull from multiple repositories. A complete linux distro is much larger still, and likewise didn't need to rework its tooling beyond putting a small layer of indirection between the upstream repository and the build system.

Honestly I'd say this GVFS gadget (which I'll fully admit is pretty cool) exists because Microsoft misapplied their source control regime.

Google Home can do this to a degree today. You are capable of saying things like "Play X on my TV." if your TV is wired up with a ChromeCast.

In general, Google Home is very far ahead of Alexa. I agree with the opinion that Alexa is a glorified radio, but I don't believe that opinion extends to all devices in that class. I think its just because Alexa is overrated and not very powerful.
That's a shame, I've seen lots of nice comments about B movies.
