>Speaking of "technical" questions - the good news is that there's absolutely no difference between Junior and Senior dev nowadays. Questions are identical so you can learn it once and re-apply for life. Everything you've learned in college is what will get you a job, even 10 years down the road so forget about your professional experience.

That isn't even close to true. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding. Could you elaborate on this a bit?

>You can't fail answering questions like "tell me about your project XYZ, what was difficult, how did you solve it".

This is the most important question I ask, and you can absolutely fail it. I use it to gauge interest in the field. If people give me a ho-hum answer, I know they are in the field because they heard it paid well and will probably have no incentive or drive for excellence. Even passionate introverts will perk up when this question is asked. I can't overstate how important passion is to future personal development.

On a side note, I haven't had to deal with a recruiter (for my employment) since 2001 (dot bomb) and that didn't even help me. I used a recruiter for my first and second job and haven't since (in 20 years). If you do good work, people will remember you when time goes by and your co-workers are at a new location looking for talent.

I think you are sharing your perspective from large companies. Small and mid sized companies are often more competent in interviewing (and fun to work for) because they aren't shackled by some pre-determined interview "process."
Because Chromium runs far better in my experience, especially on Linux, and especially where graphics and WebGL are concerned. If all I can use are WebExtensions, I may as well use Chromium for the speed.

I picked a really random scene from the screenplay of the Lord of the Rings, Fellowship. Here's just the opening lines, setting us up for the real scene payoff later.

------

Nighttime. Boromir wanders up to a painting on the wall, depicting Isildur cutting the Ring from Sauron's finger and his sword breaking. He looks in awe at it,

(Peaceful)

then suddenly turns as he hears a faint noise.

(Changes from peaceful to alarm)

He sees Aragorn reading and looks at him quizzically.

(Changes from alarm to puzzled. B though he was the only human in with the elves. )

BOROMIR:	You are no elf

(B politely tries to get information)

ARAGORN:	Men of the South are welcome here

(A politely replies with absolutely no information about himself)

BOROMIR:	(nods) Who are you ?

(Changes to directly asking)

ARAGORN:	I'm a friend of Gandalf the Grey.

(A still doesn't say who he is. Says he a good guy though)

BOROMIR:	(nods) Then we are here on a common purpose.

(Says he's also a good guy. Plays a status move to establish his leadership. )

B: (he pauses) friend.

(Offers friendship)

Aragorn just looks back at him.

(Denied)

Boromir turns, a little confused. He notices a statue of a lady holding an elven shield with broken sword pieces on it....

(Attention shifts off Aragorn)

Boromir: The shards of Narsil (he picks up the hilt part of the broken sword) The blade that cut the Ring from Sauron's hand...

(B opened the scene by looking at memories of old ledgends. Legends just changed to reality. )

-----

So behind what looks like a polite conversation between strangers, beat by beat what the character expects to happen as a result of his actions does not happen. We've established that Boromir's confidence is only skin deep, that the legends are real, and that Aragorn is a heck of a mysterious dude. In about 30 seconds, this will reverse and the audience will finally know who Aragorn is and why he is that way....

This is mentioned in her bio at the end, but worth noting here, I think: Barbara runs a coursera course on learning how to learn (https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn).

It is interesting in that I find that Coursera courses highlight the flawed learning processes she mentions quite well. I often find myself watching the videos, thinking I get it, buzzing through the usually basic follow-up questions, and moving on. Likely that material won't last in my brain for very long in a quickly usable fashion.

Firefox 57 will have sandboxing and per-tab processes (most likely) plus a better extension system than Chrome's.

Firefox 57 should be at least equivalent to Chromium.

It's a very different experience.

Some of us who use Vimperator use it not only because of the key binding, but also for the command-line, ability to modify the UI (e.g. :set gui=none), ability to put .vimperatorrc in .dotfiles and use it across multiple systems, and such. As far as I know, VimFX still not capable of all these functionalities (some due to difference in mission, e.g. not modifying the UI.)

That said, WebExtensions at its current state still couldn't support all of VimFX's current feature either.[1]

Surely there should be a way to enable hardware repair without giving unfettered access to user data?

I mean, even when I do hand my device to the manufacturer I don't necessarily want to grant them access to my data.
> Your entire argument amounts to: Trust Apple and nobody else. What makes you think that's a good idea?

I don't trust anyone, but I only want Apple to hold the keys, not all random repair stores. It is a FAR worse idea to force Apple to provide security bypasses.

If security bypasses can be provided securely as LONG as you authorize it on the spot, then heck yes, force Apple to do this. But if they cannot, then nope, they shouldn't be forced.

> Exactly. That's why it's even more important that we be able to repair it ourselves.

I don't think we're disagreeing here, I'm totally on your side that we should be able to repair everything ourselves but I cannot agree with forcing companies to provide security bypasses in a manner that may be done without your knowledge.

> There are no absolute rights. There are laws. I trust myself more than Apple and I don't think there's much you can say to convince me otherwise.

You are correct, I phrased it wrong since there is a clear technical definition of what absolute right means.

I didn't say you shouldn't have the right to repair everything yourself. I'm totally on this but I disagree again on the security components, you should be able to replace it as long as it can be securely does and with information that only you know. Forcing Apple to provide this to repair shops without explicit controls over it, is a bad idea.

> Nope. I'd rather not, thanks! That's why we're going to get this law passed.

I've edited my post after that.

Consumer goods were purchased without problems before credit cards existed. Habitually buying consumer goods on credit has largely paralleled the great 1970s decoupling from wealth and productivity.
Did you get even read the post you just responded to? It had nothing to do with developer comfort.

I agree that they're highly complicated, but they're made in surprisingly large volumes. There are 5,564 hospitals in the US, and each one will likely have several. A manufacturer will probably ship 500 units/year. This is decent enough volume where you can drive good cost reductions.
No, security threats make both developers and users worse off.

It's undoubtedly true that power users will lose a little of the functionality they like in Firefox, but that normal users will have a more secure browser. I'm sure someone will fork Firefox to keep a version alive for those power users.

You might not agree with it, but the logic is sound.
You could make the argument that this law is only required because copyright, patents, licensing, and other regulations have gone far too far already. But the genie's out of the bottle. Seems like a good idea to me, too.

For now using Firefox ESR might be a good stopgap measure for you?

That way you can use an old version with the old add-on ecosystem for at least a year longer, and still get security updates.

I usually work on Debian Jessie which ships (a variant of) Firefox ESR, and it's very well-usable. I haven't noticed any differences between the latest Firefox on Windows and Firefox-ESR on Debian.

The latest LastPass, XMarks, VimFX, uBlock Origin and uMatrix run on it, though I haven't managed to get RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) to work.
I read her book, watched her videos and i like her.

But while i do already know a shit ton of how to learn, my level of knowledge is not caped by learning issues or by my iq.

A car analogy is perfect here.

Google Chrome is kind of like a sedan, something convenient for most people.

Firefox is kind of like a pickup truck, less convenient for a lot of people but more powerful and useful for the people who need them.

This move is kind of like a pickup truck manufacturer realizing that sedans are more common than pickup trucks, then thinking sedans don't have beds in the back, and removing the bed from their pickup truck. Then afterwards, they're confused why people don't like this change.
If I want to reduce computing security risks I'll use a calculator. Everything else comes with tradeoffs, and for many of us, these aren't worth it.
I've developed extensions. Chrome and the WebExtensions API is by far the easiest way to do it.

> weird popups, overlays in the browser viewport, extensions that sneakily inject ads into pages, and track user behavior _still exist_

all of this is possible to do with webextensions, just add a contentscript for all_urls. Of course webextensions help with some security issues, but not with the ones you mention.
The USA really needs a base level of health insurance, private can fill the gap on top IMO. It needs to cover the basics and only proven treatments.
Your comment assumes that add-ons are the only reason anyone would ever use Firefox. Personally, I don't use many add-ons, and if Firefox is faster or more battery optimised than Chrome, I'll use it.

But I want the addons to have full control over my browser, that's the whole point! It's my browser and I've tailored it to myself and my requirements.

The one thing that is striking every time I try to use chrome/chromium is just how limited the addon functionality is and how much less freedom the user has. Have you seen "treestyletabs" implementation on chrome? It's a whole other window that has to be started and placed side-by-side with the browser window by user because of the addon limitations. There are also some keybindings which are fixed forever and not allowed to be changed (<C-W>, <C-N> etc).

Of course you can justify the restrictions by bringing up the case of the poor average user who will get abused by his browser having more functionality that he will ever need. But the thing is - I really don't care for the "average user" and its problems. Average user is a beast that is perfectly happy to be contained in the walled garden, but we already have Chrome and Android for that.

> Surely there should be a way to enable hardware repair without giving unfettered access to user data?

Yes of course, screen/battery/radio etc but suppose we're talking about the TouchID+SoC integrated security component that store your authentication data. Should Apple be forced to provide a security bypass to allow the repair shop to randomly replace this with a different part not authorized by Apple?

There has to be clear definition of what they mean by security bypasses.
>The add-ons might be better, but XUL-based Firefox add-ons are not better.

This statement is contradictory.

>They essentially give full control of your computer to the developer of the add-on. There's no permission model.

Yes. I know. That's why it's better.

>Most add-ons can be ported to webextensions. The ones that can't probably shouldn't have ever been add-ons to begin with.

You're pushing a worldview here in which some entity - Mozilla, presumably - sees fit to decide in what way I should, or should not be able to extend my web browser. I reject this premise.

The whole point of XUL/XPCOM, as you yourself seem to realise, is that it naturally exposes browser internals and thereby enables permissionless innovation. The only reason WebExtensions can even support the use cases it can is because Mozilla basically looked at the popular addons and defined it to be able to support corresponding functionality. Extension developers finding gaps in WebExtensions APIs were invited to communicate this to Mozilla - that is, to ask Mozilla for permission to extend the browser in a certain way (and for them to allocate manpower to adding that API, etc.)

The idea is to make WebExtensions politically palatable by happening to support what's popular, but that very approach proves the impracticality of the premise. If ad blockers were invented tomorrow, would there be a WebExtensions API? Probably not. Would Mozilla bother to allocate manpower to adding an API for it when one person has the idea and asks? Probably not. If Firefox (and before that, Mozilla Suite, etc.) had had only WebExtensions-like APIs from day one, would ad blockers exist today? Probably not. Ergo, we can conclude that future, yet unconceived innovations will be prevented by this change. The "ask us to add an API for it" approach is not acceptable, given that the technology to make this a non-issue (XUL/XPCOM) already exists and is in use.

>Lots of other browsers used to do the same thing Firefox does, and chose to use a webextension-like model instead. Why? Because those screenshots of folks with half their screen consumed by toolbars, weird popups, overlays in the browser viewport, extensions that sneakily inject ads into pages, and track user behavior _still exist_. And there's really nothing Mozilla can do to stop them.

This isn't Mozilla's problem, and as you yourself acknowledge, trying to save users from themselves is a futile effort.

>Do you know how Firefox add-ons get approved? A human sits down and sifts through the obfuscated source code. I helped build these tools years ago, I can tell you it's hell. Beyond being error-prone, it causes months-long delays in add-ons getting approved.

If this upsets Mozilla, they could get out of the extension approval business. Nothing obliges them to intermediate themselves in this way.

No version of Firefox which implements restrictive code signing practices will ever touch any system I control. Currently I use Firefox Developer Edition. It doesn't appear it will be updated after version 56.

Yeah and my supermarket is totally cool with me shoplifting because they haven't stopped me yet.
To me, CI and distributed version control and such and their tooling are more in the realm of engineering practice in the domain of computer science. The cryptographic hashing and merkle trees and scheduling algorithms that underly them are more the domain of CS.

Requiring students to have full fledged competence in using those tools seems way outside the bounds of most CS courses other than a practicum that is focused on introducing those things and again that seems more the realm of engineering than computer science unless the department has settled on a curriculum that integrates such tooling.

Otherwise, the risk that you're only teaching to a portion of the class is perhaps greater than the benefits that come from tossing everyone into the deep end. The idea that students entering a computer science curriculum ought to have professional competence as developers is a recent development and seen by some people as a problem.

Anyway, professors should be professorial and if that's at odds with the working software engineer hat, take the hat off.

Good luck.
How to Institutionalise the World
Are those games being optimised for VR, designed for VR controllers, and are getting VR-specific gameplay elements? Or are they simply written to include a VR headset as a display option? The first would indicate game developers are betting on VR being a big deal. The second would simply be developers hedging against their games being labelled as incompatible.
This article seems mostly a glorified praise of a top-med-school-doc, who in fact is probably in no way exceptional.

Some points:

- the cardiac arrhythmia and pneumothorax anecdote absolutely screams "inexperienced staff on scene". Not performing basic imaging for car crash victims, and furthermore thinking of a medical (vs. surgical) cause first, would be absolutely laughable for any trauma/ER doc, and does not respect standard care guidelines. Big trauma centers also means lots of resident docs, more or less supervised. Additionally, the article does not give a lot of details about the case, so judgment of this particular case from an armchair is presumptuous.

- Many medical professionals not only do not think statistically, they also believe statistical studies to be less reliable than their own clinical experience-based judgment, and often rightly so. People outside of the field often miss how catastrophic the quality of medical statistics are. The end result is that professors will cite the literature when it supports their opinion, and will say something on the order of: "in my experience as a clinician, it would be better to do such and such..." when it does not.

- a serious and reliable approach to statistics is a priority concern of today's medical system. The main problems are 1) inability to collect reliable data, and 2) professionals with no statistical education analyzing said data. This is changing, albeit very slowly.

EverLayout: An AutoLayout solution for iOS
This is the only answer to the question that was asked. And it's a good answer.

What 1337biz might also want to consider from the other answers is the attention to detail. To both find detail in your description of the day, as well as in the details of the person you're talking to. Facial expressions change, breathing changes, eyes shift. There's a constant flurry of happening upon which you react, by altering your story. In IanCal's case about talking about bits of tech to their wife, for example, the wife could be seen trailing her eyes away slightly, meaning she might now already understand what a framework is, or she might frown, when it's just a little bit too technical, or her eyes might shine, when she wants to know more.

I am probably underestimating that there are a million and one different ways to convey something with just one eyebrow, and luckily the human mind is quick to extra-, and interpolate these meanings.
