I'd argue the same would be true in the UK too - under the Data Protection Act, any company who holds personal information is required to register with a government authority [0], and the act makes it fairly clear what responsibilities and actions need to be taken regarding the handling of data.

AMP had 2 multi month public developer previews. Unfortunately it did not come up as a big issue during that phase.
NPM caused horrendous issues in my dev environment a while back. I was developing on a Windows 7 machine with my Node environment in a VirtualBox VM. I was keeping my code in a VirtualBox shared folder so I could edit it in my IDEs on the windows side and then easily run `npm install` etc. on the linux side.

Turns out, the combination of vboxsf and ntfs masquerading as a linux filesystem is not without bugs-

Sometimes, the directory depths that npm reached caused the filesystem to "soft crash", where it would just fail to do operations on files, meaning you had to run `npm install` a few times to actually grab all the dependencies.

Other times, it caused the host machine to blue screen.

One of the times this happened, it had the side effect of irreversibly corrupting my favourite programming font (Fira Code) for all JetBrains IDEs on that Windows install.

Not so much a problem now I'm not being forced to develop in Windows. But even though I dug up bugs in unrelated pieces of software / the host OS kernel, npm was still pushing that software to the limits with that crazy recursive directory structure it was attempting to build.

You don't get this shit with python!
One of the issues is you can easily go a year without using SQL just some ORM. In a job setting a few quick searches and it all comes back but interviews jump from topic to topic really fast.

Me neither, but it seems like we haven't even come close to the limit of what people will tolerate. For example, Johnson & Johnson has/had an insulin pump on the market that could easily be triggered remotely (i.e. be used to remotely murder you): http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/10/05/animas_diabetes_pump...

And their response was basically "yeah, it's not that big of a deal, don't worry about it". Someone with really bad intentions could set up a few arduinos/rPIs in populated cities, set them to broadcast the 'inject insulin' command and then sit back and watch people drop dead if they wander within range.

Scary stuff.
Score methods are worse for a reason that doesn't show up in most simulations, because mapping of expected utility to an an externalized score isn't consistent between individuals, but instead highly variable (both among individuals within groups and, particularly, along ethnic and other cultural lines), which has been shown in many studies of score-based rating systems.in many domains.

Most simulations assume consistent mapping from preferences to ballot markings, which is reasonable for ranked, but not score, voting.

That's a magnificent way to work if your have projects that can be done in such a way.

On the other hand, I make visual art: Usually drawing and painting, but sometimes I head into sculpture. Ideas don't always come when I can actually do them - and sometimes I have to source materials and things to do an idea. Sometimes the idea isn't complete and I need to add to it before beginning, and sometimes I start yet stop part of the way through.

It simply isn't linear enough to do as you say.

I'm not really sure why it is stressful this way, though. I nearly always have something to work on that have various difficulty levels and it isn't a big deal if I don't get one or two done - some never get done at all. Of course, it depends on how many ideas you actually have. Good time management is a plus sometimes, which seems to take care of some of the stress.
Nice derailing of a technical point!

I wouldn't put it like that. He encouraged anti-corruption protests, it's just that PSD decided to support corruption. Nobody is protesting the election results.

> "A nice bloke called Jesus" isn't much of a fact to examine.

Except that people and ideas have ramifications. Consider for example...

1. Persecution during the first 300 years of Christianity's infancy was very rampant. People died for their beliefs. If those people didn't think that what they believed was true, then why would they have died for what they believed?

2. Christianity (at least in name) is the world's dominate religion. Are you going to tell me that the vast majority of people in the world (and in history) didn't at some point figure out that what they believed was a lie?

> A clear example from my own recent experience is that a very close friend of the family was diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer only two weeks ago, and is in enough pain that two hours sleep a night is considered 'good'. When her father found out, he was abusing her about satan's influences and read her the riot act. Most people (including most christians) would be revolted by his behaviour, but his selected parts of christianity suited his chosen morality.

Don't confuse the actions of a hurting, confused person with real Christianity.

> We do it all the time. I do it frequently when I purchase an electronic gizmo and avoid thinking about the sweatshop labour and conflict minerals involved. "Being okay with a lie" is a normal state of being, particularly if it masks an uncomfortable truth.

What's the lie? You know the truth. You also probably reckon that if those people didn't build it, someone else would.

Don't conflate lies with uncomfortable truths.

PPI really depends on the viewing distance. You're usually very close to a phone but much further away from a 27" monitor and further away still from a 65" TV.

I'd say for a large 13-inch ebook reader, a 167ppi grayscale display (for anti-aliasing) is pretty good.

Until very recently all ebook readers were around 167ppi (most of them 6 inches diagonally) and most people were OK with it.

The high prices are due to the eInk panels, they must have a very low yield at large sizes making them very expensive.
"You keep wanting to make christianity something special when in reality it is just another amalgamation of beliefs"

Well, since there are no 'Christian rituals' in the New Testament, because Christianity did not exist at the time, I'm going to assume that you have not read it.

From cover to cover, there's nothing Greek, Roman or Egyptian that resembles the New Testament, it doesn't even resemble the Old Testament. Arguably, it's closer to the Koran, or other Eastern works.

And if you think it's about a (cherry picked) handful of similarities and borrowed 'magic powers' story bits like a'water into wine' or a 'Horus-like nativity story', then you're missing the point anyhow.

Gamedev here and one thing I've noticed amongst peers is an emphasis on good practice over algo knowledge. Mastery of debugging for example is something to look for.

Now when I find a a candidate, usually via Github or their dev diary, I can usually tell from the work itself that they have the talent and skill.

But I can also employ a very simple screen: implement a basic image processing op using the Pixel Manipulation API on an HTML5 Canvas2d. Say Gaussian blur of an input bitmap. Not uncommon to get a "Javascript Expert" who can't even render a bitmap to a canvas. But a solid prospect with good engineering instincts will be able to wax poetic about low and high frequency noise in the image, convolution kernels versus Fourier analysis, and perhaps whether WebGL might not be more performant ;)
Oh no! I really believe sandstorm (or something like it) is what we need the future to be. Rather than having everything get sucked up into Google, Facebook, Apple, or these other few centralized services, imagine where everyone has a personal (or family, or church group or whatever) server, and they can one-click install their email apps, their document apps, etc.

The basic issue is that everyone wants "cloud" apps, so that their emails and chats appear on their phones and their tablets or home computers. But unfortunately it seems we leapt straight from the PC paradigm where your email is stored on your computer straight to the "centralized, 3rd party cloud" paradigm, where Google owns all your stuff. But with a "cloud" that you still control, tough problems like end-to-end encryption fall away, since it only needs to be encrypted from one person's cloud to another, while the messages themselves could be synced between all the user's connected devices.

Linux was a beautiful, world changing thing. If we could establish an open-source platform seeking to replicate a lot of things Google and Facebook do now, but without the privacy implications, that could be equally world changing.

Sandstorm, at least as far as I understand it, definitely has the vision right, so I'm hoping despite Sandstorm for Work not panning out, the technology will continue to grow.
Leaving aside for the moment whether your implicit generalization about what religion is accurate, the fact that a system of morality is one that you disagree with does not stop it from being a system of morality.

Of course, followers of different sorts of morality often view it as immoral; that's inherent in conflict between moral systems.

The claims made in this interview are extremely suspect, it just not make sense. Absolutely no relevant details are included. The developer claims he was able to built an AI trading strategy that is profitable 95% of the time. No technical details about the strategy or platform for trading is provided. A few trading buzzwords thrown in a few places. The rest of the interview is platitudes and inspirational hacker talk

I think IndieHackers needs to investigate the claims and be provided proof, otherwise this appears to be a fake project for the developer's own publicity. If IndieHackers are fine with that, I will stop visiting as I cannot trust that the content is not just shallow, exaggerated claims to raise peoples profiles.
I don't understand why.

The protests are not about president Klaus Iohannis, are about how the government tried to steal in the middle of the night, like thieves after they said they wouldn't pass that law. Of course the president is biased toward a side, but he didn't send people out on the streets. People were already there and some of them weren't even keen on the president.
> We're not paid to create new things, we're paid for our suffering

Top Most Imported Golang Packages – Some Insights
If you want a user to agree to something, you ask them if they agree to it and below that have two radio buttons labeled "Yes, I agree", or "No, I don't agree". Neither of them should be selected by default. You do this for every term you want them to agree to, not some general "Do you agree to these terms of service".

As long as you don't build this in a way that encourages people to mindlessly go through the list and click yes on all of them, I'd currently consider this, and nothing less, sufficient for informed consent.

I think there is some jealousy too.

When being a geek in the 90 was basically being the less popular people in the area, nobody wanted to be part of the crew. Slowly but surely, with unrecognized hard work, geeks built something, and nobody helped them until shitload of money and cool stuff were made.

They were a minority none helped and that people basically disrespected through media, stereotypes, etc. And you never heard any girl saying they wanted to be part of it.

Now being a geek is cool and well paid. And it becomes a trend to help minorities to be part of it.

I followed some of those efforts, such as pyladies, django-girls... I spent some time in Mali myself to help some people here to become Python dev with NGOS programs. It works. The community is better because of it.

But the feeling of it being unfair can be felt on a lot of forums and comments. This is not sexism.

It's more along the line of "so now you want it ?" and "oh but you want it easy too ?".
or it's an indicator that they get flustered coding in front of people. I definitely underperform when pair coding, coding on a whiteboard instead of a computer I'm familiar with? Probably not my best work.
Ars Technica explains this quite well in a piece [1] published yesterday. The paper's original dataset was replaced with an updated one that was run through the same algorithms that NOAA had previously used. The updated dataset better reflects findings that other scientific bodies had released that counter the claim of a warming 'slowdown', partly because they used a richer array of sources. At the end of the day, the trend is not that different, and the trend is still one of warming. Ho-hum.

While the original reason that kickstarted the protest was a shady law passed through an emergency ordinance (not sure if that's an English term), the problem itself is much bigger. People are dissatisfied that the new government is trying to reduce the effectiveness of certain anti corruption institutions, which have aggressively processed corruption cases for the past couple of years. This has caused a lot of desperation among public sector workers, from low level counsel positions up to the highest parts of the government. I see this as a potential inflection point for Romania and I am curious which way it goes.
I think you are being a bit overdramatic about JSX. There was zero learning curve -- except for a few errors initially when using class instead of className...

The argument that DOM.div() is more readable than <div/> is honestly hilarious to me. Any non-trivial tag structure will be unnecessarily complicated through the API. Especially when you can just write it almost exactly how it's going to look when it becomes HTML in JSX.
