Is this the innovation that's supposedly lacking at Apple under Tim Cook?
I don't know if this is strictly true. I don't deny that blogging about controversial subjects will turn off possible employers or close doors. That is definitely something to be aware of.

But you could look at the flip side of that and say that this is actually filtering out opportunities wouldn't be a fit. Much like qualifying leads in sales is something you want to do as quickly and easily as possible, doing the same for employment opportunities can help you focus on organizations where there is a culture fit.

With respect to your example, if an employer was offended by your support for a minority group or political candidate, is that an employer you'd feel comfortable bringing your whole self to work at?

I may be hopelessly Pollyanna, but I think I'd avoid that type of situation. If you are a software developer and those are the only type of opportunities you have access too, I agree, you should avoid blogging about such controversial topics. Or get good at remote work.

Severe IE 11 Bug Allows 'Persistent JavaScript' Attacks
Yeah...I don't see too much to be outraged about here. If you want to be upset about adding soy to the chicken you eat, be upset about the soy they add to the chicken before they kill it. Soy isn't part of the natural diet for chickens, so feeding it to them means also feeding them antibiotics. If anything, lowering the percentage of chicken that's raised in that way would make it healthier.

>You would be better for it to try and see both side's point of view instead of completely dismissing one because "who cares what the corporate owners feel".

In this instance the other side is largely a tiny fraction of the population. It would be like if the other side of the gun control argument was gun manufacturers instead of millions of Americans who own guns.

This issue is lopsided in that destroying net neutrality would harm almost everyone to benefit a few thousand people.

>In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him,

It's easy to understand the goals of for-profit corporations. They exist to maximize profit. There is nothing else to understand. They will support any legislation that will increase their profit and oppose any legislation that will reduce it.
No, join or start a hedge fund and take the fees from the investors. That's how you make money actively trading.
What camera is capturing 16GB photos? An IQ180 captures 80 megapixels but the images are something like 500 MB each.

All of your hypothetical examples are also for very niche high-resource usage professionals. It's absurd that these cases need extremely high memory support from consumer processors. Intel is not obligated to subsidize anyone, especially not people who can afford to pay for high end systems.

It's not unfortunate when you think of all the chickens that are needlessly slaughtered to appeal to people's unhealthy dietary laziness ^.^
And the problem with your 16GB system was that it didn't support >64GB?
A generally reasonable guideline, but in this case, I am actually criticizing the tribalism that makes people rise to that bait.

It similarly leads to the discussion of how "I can't believe Linus is trying to defend SHA-1 when The Tribe already knows it is cryptographically 'bad'."
Hey if you're a person receiving basic income so you have basic security, then you're free to work for more money or if that fails as it likely will at times, you'll really appreciate having that foundation of basic income.

Yes, there are huge disparities of wealth but when I look at the world my young son is living in and has to deal with, I don't want instability, revolutions, chaos as know enough history to know the failure rate of all that stuff's very high. If the underlying purpose is to "quell the uprisings" or because of pure motives does not particularly concern me. I'm interested in results.
You misread my point. I wasn't complaining about the strictness, I was stating that it was the reason nobody willingly writes XML or XHTML by hand. The problem with strictness is that the world is lazy, and HTML is meant for a much wider set of people than your average general-purpose programming language. That wide group of people may do anything with their markup, and a language that accounts for that will be more successful than one that does not, plain and simple.

XML is just fine as a data-interchange format, and I'm fine with it there (though I personally prefer JSON anywhere that it'll fit). It's when humans are introduced into the equation that XML and it's derivatives fall over.
Self-Driving Cars Have a Bicycle Problem
seriously Django and Wagtail? The key challenge any open source platform finds with corporate adoption is support/maintenance and that is largely answered by longevity, size of community and adoption, as well as large Ubuntu or Redhat style private companies behind it offering SLA's, professional services and so on. This is where Drupal and Wordpress shine.
To your last two questions: Yes and yes.
Subway prides themselves on having low or no fat in sandwiches as a great way to lose weight. The catch is that the carbs are there. ie, bread. Sneaky.
I'm having similar issues. How did you figure it out? Is there a test, or just elimination?
Pinboard. Totally worth it.

I use Pocket for short-term "I want to come back to this soon" bookmarking, but I use Pinboard for long-term saving of stuff I might want to refer to later, thanks to tagging and its page archival feature.
It's 'subway chicken' not chicken. Same with McDonald's, the burgers are objectively horrible when compared to anything made with care, but we get used to the taste. I think it's actually the fries that make it work.
That puts the problem in perspective. This is a solvable problem. I'm a fan of solvable problems and people who solve them.
> Anyone can write a blog post, not everyone can write good code.

But can "anyone" wrote a good clear blog post that explains a problem, talks about a solution and some of the plusses and minuses of alternatives? Can "anyone" maintain a blog for a number of months or years?

I'd say these are differentiating features.
You are either Engineer or not. Writing blog post will have less of effect on your engineering skills than writing code.

My GF and I just opened the Digital Nomad House in Malta on a tiny rocky island
Let's say the number if 5 times higher that's still not out of reach, right? I doubt it's 100x higher.
Every programmer I've worked with can type just fine. I think the reason we don't comment code is because we believe the meaning of the code is self-evident via names, conventions, and structure. I am happy to comment code when I think the "why" is unclear without having the whole project in one's head, but I'm often amazed later on how much I guessed wrong and failed to comment something that needed elaboration. When I fix bugs, I almost always end up adding comments and request the same in code reviews.
This isn't a full solution yet, but aims to be: Standard File [1].

===> TL;DR: My Girlfriend and I opened the first "Digital Nomad House" in Malta, a tiny exotic island belonging to the EU, 150km north of Africa.

We can host up to 8 digital nomads, who can work, live, sleep and enjoy their "workation" in our Coworking-Coliving-Community-House in Malta. We are the perfect place for bloggers, coders, hippies or all other remote workers who just fast internet and a comfy desk to get into their zone. Plus the sun. Plus the beaches. Plus the peace of one of the smallest countries in the world.

Merħba? What's that? Maltese! It is the officially language, next to English, of Malta - one of the most exotic islands in Europe. Just 2 hours away from all major European airports via RyanAir, most people never ever heard of this country before, where everyone speaks English, living costs are low, internet is ultra-fast (fiber everywhere!). 8 month of Summer a year, average yearly temperature of 18°C. But what makes the Digital Nomad House unique is clearly the sense of family and friendship - this should be not another fancy soulless coworking space. #NoLatte #NoBikesOnTheWalls

So what's the idea: Coworking + Coliving + Community!

You will live in a charming Maltese house with spacious rooftops overlooking the whole island, where we are having BBQ's in the evening and enjoy the sun during the day! Whether you want to have your own private room (+ desk) or prefer to sleep in our dorm, we’ll have you covered. If your brain shuts down after 8 hours of hacking / writing, just dive into the clear blue water and you feel refreshed for the next day.

Nevertheless, while spending more than one year on the island we couldn't find a place of retreat for digital workers. That’s why we created the "Digital Nomad House" in Malta in order to establish it as a long term hotspot for digital nomads in Europe. Prices are fairly low, as we just try to cover our costs as a non-profit.

Insellimlek (this is Maltese, too!)!

Probably more importantly, you didn't have negative models, so pure interest was enough to start. Models are very important when you're thinking of doing something that is unusual, risky, rare, seems dangerous or unfeasible. Sure, if you're about doing something common and socially acceptable, there is no urgent need to have a model. But when you want to do something quite extreme, you need to estimate chances to succeed, resources required, time, possibility and other params. This is where role models come in. You have to somehow validate that what you want to achieve is possible (but prior to this, you have to learn that it even exists).
Most architects of large software projects agree, in my perception. As a counterpoint, I figure that something is wrong if changes routinely affect large parts of the code. The idea is that data is "in the interfaces" instead of global. Except for a few "god objects" changes should be pretty local.
I don't want to have to sign up to try out the interface.

Do you have a demo site set up somewhere?
Beating a 10 core doesn't sound real, but it sure kicks the Intel 8-core's ass
>Subway has become the supplier of subs at the lowest cost. What this means is that bean counters dictate what the subs contain.

Well, corporate bean counters would have sold heroin to children if it was profitable and they could get away with it.

That's the thing, though: Subway should not be able to get away with it. As long as it calls the product it sells "chicken", it should be chicken, and anything else should end with huge fines and/or closing down of the chain (e.g. with a "three strikes" type of thing).
I can think of plenty of use for modules. The problem is that none of them are general purpose. There are tons of niche applications though. They should have made an industrial phone for $1000. Lots of people would have bought them for interesting use cases that Google never would have thought of.

The challenge is that a hackable industrial strength phone is not a ten billion dollar business, which is what Google wants.
For editing, you want to use the highest possible starting bandwidth (sampling rate * bit width) because every intermediate edit and calculation leads to round-off and other errors. You also need them to be WAVs or some other raw format since you cause minor errors every time you compress + decompress something, not to mention the performance loss.

It's the same rationale for doing calculations in full 80-bit or 64-bit FP even if you don't need the full bits of precision -- if you start your calculations at your target precision, your result will have insufficient precision due to truncation, roundoff, overflow, underflow, clipping, etc. in intermediate calculations.

In theory, if you knew what your editing pipeline is, one could mathematically derive the starting headroom required to end up with acceptable error, but in practice that's probably a very risky proposition because 1) you don't know every intermediate calculation going on in every piece of software and 2) errors grow in highly non-linear ways, so even a small change in your pipeline might cause a large change in required headroom [1].

> we divide people.

Can someone please explain what this even means? I've seen this used as a thought terminating cliche for far too long for it to make sense anymore.
They'd have to kill twice as many if it was 100% chicken.
Sure. I don't personally care if Intel's margins drop. But I also don't care if professionals making six figures have to pony up a couple hundred for a Xeon system. The idea that Intel should make casual consumers subsidize professional needs so that professionals can save a hundred bucks is absurd.
I couldn't figure out how to return a named error from a python2.7 Lambda function; as far as I could tell it would always return UnhandledError. How'd you do it?
What would your preferred chicken substitute be?

None of the bullets you list seems like a credible reason to not use soy. GMOs are perfectly healthy, as are carbohydrates. Lacking fat isn't a big deal either.

I suppose you might suggest there are healthier alternatives, but chief among those alternatives would be to not eat at a fast food joint.
I have no idea if what you say is true but let's say it is true. So the options are incomes and stability or no income and uprisings and instability. Which world would you rather live in? The uprisings don't put food on the table but are likely to have the opposite effect so I'm in favor of the income and I'm in favor of stability. I have a young son and a stable world is my dream for him, along with breathable air, an intact Amazon Basin, etc. The things that I can think of that would make the world a better place are not impossible.
> Just ship it" doesn't work with soft skills.

I disagree! Maybe the relationship is less direct but practicing skills like writing, speaking and networking is one of the best ways to improve (reading about sick skills is another)
Just an anecdote. I used to love chicken as a kid but lived in the countryside and my parents used to buy free range chicken at the next door farmer.

I then came to the US to study 10 years ago, ate a chicken sandwich in a subway, got sick and since then I can't eat any kind of chicken without being disgusted. So, yes, it doesn't surprise me.

There are certainly other reasons. For example, I only comment as an admission of failure to express my self in code. Most of the time a better variable name or adding a function with a descriptive name will say the same thing as a comment
wealth is strongly inversely coorolated with population growth. Keeping people in poverty means they have more children, not the reverse.
All those things are much easier to use as values than profit, since profit may include some fairly innocent or some fairly egregious rent-seeking. There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of that - but with one caution - one must still be "competitive".

The problem is that what we mark down on the books as profit may or may not actually reflect any social benefit to the larger society through the mechanism of consumer surplus.

This state of affairs means that any discussion on profit may or may not be all that coherent because we would have to clarify if we mean rent-profit or consumer-surplus-profit.

"consumer-surplus-profit" is a signal to do more. "rent-profit" means you're not both doing good while doing well.

This is a much larger point than designing a corporate architecture. This goes to how we evaluate ethical behavior.
> Soy isn't part of the natural diet for chickens, so feeding it to them means also feeding them antibiotics.

Do you have any more info on this? I was under the impression that giving chickens antibiotics was illegal and so feckless that it isn't even worth breaking the law for. I could be wrong as well, honestly.
That's a pretty cynical attitude. It's obvious the intent of this is to test a program that has the potential to keep people from drowning. I doubt you're now gasping for air as you sink below the waves.
It will be a very interesting match to witness. Intel will have to act under pressure while saying goodbye to a huge sum of money.
>It completely removes the fun though, if you only enjoy generalizing, optimizing, refactoring, designing, and take zero pleasure in delivering an actual usable product.

Then maybe that programmer should go into teaching instead?
I literally made this point earlier. I even used the word literally to indicate I meant it literally.

> Nobody is arguing that you shouldn't start a prop trading firm.

I disagree. People are absolutely arguing that nobody should start a prop firm because you can't beat the market. That the prop funds that succeed are just those that have gotten lucky in the short term. That everybody should put their money in index funds instead. I know you don't believe this, but it's a common belief for sure.

I think that if all retail investors and all institutional investors exclusively invest in passive funds the market will get out of whack. We're talking about all pension funds, university endowments, private trusts, all moving to index funds. All households together own about 80% of the stock market (direct + indirect ownership). Hedge funds another 4%. Prop trading firms probably less than 1%. There are over 3500 publicly listed US equities and another 10,000 OTC. Deep analysis on every equity is needed to determine if it is fairly valued; no way prop firms can take on this gargantuan task by themselves.

Not to mention that index funds are long-only. Very few hedge funds are. If almost everybody moved to index funds the long-only bias by itself could be disastrous.
What are you implying about the GMO nature of soy? Does that make it worse than non-GMO soy? Also, what do you mean "lacking any genetic variance"?
Then your answer to the first question is no? Or am I misunderstanding?
Most food labeling in the US is done this way. Gross measures (total volume, weight, etc) are in imperial while the nutrition facts are in metric. So milk will say, serving size 12 Oz, protein XX g.
In this case is a sandwich an imperial unit?

Exactly this. I grind on a massive codebase everyday and the time and risk involved in migrating to new tech would be far too great. Going home and spinning up a new project in some new language/framework is the only option.

> That is, strong but controversial opinions on certain technologies are just as likely to help you get noticed as hurt you (i.e. get noticed in a negative way.)

I think the way to get around this is to stick to your best evidence as much as possible to back up your opinion, and try not to stray too far from it. That makes the conversation about the evidence, and not your "out there" take on things. For example, if you're pushing TDD (which has experienced a bit of a backlash of late), you might cite something like https://www.infoq.com/news/2009/03/TDD-Improves-Quality or http://blogs.ugidotnet.org/luKa/archive/2010/06/27/scientifi... which is a list of studies .
What are some software projects you admire that were created by one person without teamwork?

I'd argue our field is past the point where writing any unqualifiedly impressive project is within reach of a single person, no matter how talented.
Yes, definitely, I realize that I what I said could be misconstrued. I meant, more or less, that you can run into some pretty shady/silly practices out there attached to meditation. Most religions do have a tradition of meditation, whether or not their adherents are aware of it.
Yea I switched to a keto diet a few years back and it's made a world of difference. Bread is really terrible for you, especially in the quantities we eat in the western world.

A subway sandwich is terrible for you with its bread to filling ratio, and now we see their chicken salads may not be as healthy as we thought as well.
I'm sure that those who tested this in that community would like to test it in all kinds of different communities. It seems obvious to me that they would think that way but who knows. Maybe there's less red tape and people who are near the edge welcome these sorts of things with open arms and their government officials don't get in the way of it.
Absolutely, sorry that's what I meant by a directory really - otherwise you'd create your branch to fix the bug and have lost the issue!

(Though I suppose you could just say they're tracked on master and have the tool abstract access from other branches... but that would assign special meaning to master unnecessarily, in contrast to your scheme.)
So true. I thought I was the only one ;-(
