These fad shifts are inherent because there is little point in competing with 0 years experience in an established tech if the market will allow breaking changes.

Angular is actually better off with the break as new graduates may use it to replace vue as the new fad once vue has replaced react.

A "radical" idea I'm advocating for, is that all of the following is concidered nessesary for the society, and thus should be done by the government, or heavyly regulared (non profit, enduser owned type of companies):

- Roads

- Water

- Sewer

- Community heat

- Healthcare

- Education

- Pension

- Internet connectivity

- Banking (including loans for 1 family houses) and card payment
I don't really get the complaint. The author acknowledges they are a tiny edge case and Apple has clearly been trying to get away from syncing and make the devices work without computers for years now. The music industry has changed and streaming is now what most people are doing with these devices. I think, in hindsight, investing a lot of time in any music delivery mechanism is wasteful. It changes much too often.
Can we make them do that somehow?

How long until we are issued tickets for speeding when we say simple things like, "I was hauling butt to get to work today!" on FB? Or have our insurance premiums jump because of it.

Certainly the former wouldn't hold up with current laws, but how long until the laws are changed?

The more we allow our privacy to be eroded, the closer we are to having this come true.

Are there technical details regarding Ambar such as requirements to run the self-hosted version or how the cloud version works without transferring data off the local computer?

Also just plain curious about the language that Ambar was written in and what the motivation was.

Trojita – QT based IMAP email client
Forgive me for being rude here, but I laughed at your comment. I made that rookie mistake, and I paid for it. I also kept making it and didn't realise what I was doing wrong. So, the thing here is a little more complicated than getting/giving a straight answer for this question, however logical that might sound.

1. Yes. Companies do specify a budget when they tell a recruiter to look for candidates for a position.

2. How much you get offered in the end defines what the recruiter's cut is going to be.

3. Companies want to low ball you for 2 reasons. a) Get the guy for a minimum at first, so that the damage is minimum when and if he doesn't work out in the short term. See what we can do in the performance review some months down the line. b) The recruiter's cut will be lower.

As you obviously know already, there are many opposing forces at play in the this game and your salary is always going to be x% of increment over your current salary (with a minimum of $y, maybe). Hence, asking a direct question has never worked for me. Neither do I see why it will work for someone else (until of course, you're charming).
Well, you do get the complaint. You just think it is useless to make it. I think that too. And I think the author thinks that too and being useful was not the reason he made it.
this reminds me of Bret Victor's talk, "stop drawing dead fish", which takes a similar concept of live-performance programming and applies it to the world of animated storytelling:

Well, I like staying current, but I DON'T like auto updates. I can't count how many times Windows broke because of auto updates. I would so much rather have a notification than just to have something update in the background and break. Nothing ever breaks at a convenient time.
I try not to use pesticides myself on my hobby farm, they do have many downsides. However, I invite people to go visit their local organic farms, where you will find the following suboptimal approaches to weed control:

- Extensive rototilling / plowing / cultivation, soil disturbance: damages soil structure, increases erosion, releases carbon locked in the soil worsening global warming.

- Propane burners strapped to the back of a tractor, torching the weeds.

- Extensive use of volunteer or cheap manual labour -- look up WWOOF... true-believer volunteer "WWOOFers" make up a significant labour force at organic farms.

Finally, you will find that most organic farms are just growing green vegetables or fruits and some small scale livestock. Which is great, but frankly on a global scale what people eat the most of[but probably shouldn't] is primarily wheat, maize, rice, and casava. You won't find many organic wheat farms.

From my perspective the long term answer is to transition agriculture and foodstuffs away from annual herbaceous crops which require tillage and/or spray-down to perennial crops which over the long term build up soil structure and potentially lock carbon away rather than releasing it. For an example of research in this direction, take a look at The Land Institute's "Kernza" perennial wheat replacement: https://landinstitute.org/our-work/perennial-crops/kernza/

Agriculture is probably the biggest contributor to global climate change through the combination of deforestation, intensive hydrocarbon usage, and the damaging of soils. It is imperative we figure out a way to get it right, and the discussions of GMO or pesticides are frankly a distraction from this problem.
Break-even with an apple eng salary in the us? I cant believe that is true.
I'm just back from Antarctica, and chatted with a number of scientists from McMurdo & Vernadsky stations - while stood outside wearing shorts and a shirt (apparently this is not normal Antarctic apparel, but it was hot), and their outlook is dour. They're not talking in terms of prevention or reversal, rather, mitigation - how can human life survive in a vastly changed biosphere?

Animal behaviour was all sorts of weird too - Orca and humpbacks in abnormally large groupings (hundreds of individuals), salps flourishing in the water just below the rotted away feet of glaciers, penguins nesting and mating at exactly the wrong time of year.

The only way to lessen the disaster will be to subvert existing systems to the purpose - make it financially rewarding to leave oil in the ground, to use renewables, to not burn down forests for short-lived ranch-land. Doing this on a global scale can only be achieved through capitalism - it's the one constant across borders, as its increasingly clear governments either cannot or will not respond to this crisis. Don't ask me for specifics - I haven't figured that much out yet, but it seems to be the only viable pathway.
Only very few find this funny. This is no joke. This is a serious death treat towards LibreSSL.
Theo reacted with a satire. But not a funny one.
Mindfulness is not "focusing on nothing". Mindfulness is, if anything to "defocus". To let the mind flow and pay attention on what arises without getting caught up in it.

One of the favourite analogies I've seen uses is that of a series of boats racing down the river. Normally you're on one, and you might move from boat to boat. Mindfulness meditation is stepping off onto the shore and paying attention to the boats racing past.

"Focusing on nothing" is concentration practice. You need a degree of concentration practice to calm your mind enough for mindfulness meditation, but mindfulness meditation itself is not a concentration practice, but an insight pratice.
This is exactly my point. Programmer in a developed country makes about 3x the average salary and about 1-1.5x the average salary of someone having a college degree. Programmer in India makes 37x average salaries. So, in a developed country you don't go into development after money (or if you do, you start your own startups, because you are definitely not going to get rich coding for cash). In India, you go exactly after money and nothing else, because the scale of money you get eclipse everything else. If i was able to get 37x the average salary, moral barriers in my work will seem a lot lower to me.
I wonder what the error bars are. I mean, how much of the difference is actual, and how much can be explained by the measurement methods from 1980s being worse than contemporary?

In general, why almost no one puts error bars on their charts? Or even any information about the precision/accuracy of measurements?
Sorry, I can't seem to find a link. It's been a year or so since I bought them, but I've got one of these flashlights in every room where I spend time, and a couple in my hiking/camping gear. They are not stupid bright, but the light is bright and very uniform. I'd keep checking AliExpress. I'm sure a pack of them will pop up again sometime. Sorry I couldn't find a link.
In the DC area, we had two weeks of 70 degree weather in February. The cherry trees blossomed because of it, and then they wilted off the trees because temperatures dropped to normal.

I saw Fox News manage to put a anti-global warming spin on it by only reporting that cold killed the cherry blossoms, leaving out the fact that they normally blossom in April.

You can get a better private education in the us with money that you can for free in europe. College is a great example of free college vs overpriced but ultimately valuable private colleges

You could have a much bigger houses as well. If you move to munich or berlin(even though the latter is one of the cheapest cities in europe) a house is really expensive in comparison to what you can get in a city like Austin, Denver, even Seattle if you commute a bit.

Many vendors do use the Windows Update system. Looking at my old Windows 10 box, in the last three months it's received display driver updates from Intel and nVidia (it's an Optimus system so yay, twice the driver update joy). It's also got a mouse driver update from something called ELAN.

Also, Windows has this thing called minidrivers where Microsoft essentially writes a chunk of your driver for you (the generic chunk), and you only have to write the bits specific to your device. The idea is that Microsoft could QA their drivers better than J. Random OEM ever could, and so this'd reduce cost for OEMs and also make the Windows platform more stable.

Apple's ritual of taking its store down every time they need to add a few SKUs is amazing for a company its size.
I'm glad someone said this!

Like a lot of cheap goods available presently in the west, they often have a low monetary cost but a high social and environmental cost.

IKEA furniture has had a dubious past, for example [1] and, cheap clothing can be horrendous. [2]

Most people don't give a single thought about this stuff though, people even get abusive if you mention it, but I still like to practice what I call "deep consuming", which is investigating the origin of goods before purchasing :)

Paper systems are pretty hack resistant. Duplicating ballot papers requires large printing presses and a system for distributing the ballots. If it was a problem then standard secure printing techniques could be used. Vote tallies from the polling booths can't be faked, so ballot boxes would have to be stuffed in real time. Stealing votes is also difficult and has low marginal gain in close elections.

Ballot collection and retention scales great. We have trucks and warehouses as part of the regular economy.

The cryptographic properties you mention seem nice, but no-one has implemented them.

Paper is also great for anonymity, cost and consistency.
I started with Angular 1 and like it very much. Like you said, it enabled me to structure the code a certain way that made understanding it easier. I tried Aurelia since and moved on to React, and I have to say that while I still like Angular, not having to deal with state and mutability everywhere is a big boon to productivity. Whenever I code a component, I can simply think of the props (it's parameters) and the output (the HTML).

That being said, Angular is still a valid option (haven't tried Angular 2, but from what I've read it's a nice upgrade over Angular 1). I'd still take React any day of the week over it, just for the simplicity it brings. Of course there are other drawbacks to using it, but nothing's perfect.
This is what I said recently and it worked spectacularly well. (Increased my salary by 25%.)

I said: "I would prefer that you tell me what the position pays and let me decide based on that. If I suggest a number and you feel inclined to match it, the I would have placed a target on my back, taking a salary the company was not comfortable with."

What ends up happening is the company spooks itself into paying you more than they would have--to avoid insulting you and having you walk. It works.
From Ruby to Crystal: A Quick Look
Words do have meaning but "native" has pretty unclear meaning.

Is JavaScript native? JavaScript is interpreted when it first starts, but eventually turns into machine code through JIT by most JS engines. So is JavaScript native because it gets converted to machine code, just as C++ does?

If you say no, then you're saying only AOT compiled languages are "native". So that eliminates Python, Erlang, Java. Even C#, the "native" language on Windows is not AOT (in most cases).

So that doesn't work, AOT has nothing to do with native. JavaScript is just as native as any other language.

So maybe the problem is the UI, right? That's where most people seem to have a problem. So as long as you are using Cocoa on OSX, GTK on Gnome, Metro on Windows, you're native, right? Oh, wait, Metro apps can be written using HTML, JS, and CSS. They are essentially identical to Electron apps. In fact, Microsoft supports (and encourages) you to create .appx packages from Electron apps [1].

Oh, and all of those Qt apps out there (like Calibre, by far the best ebook management software), not native (despite being C++ in a lot of cases).

So yeah, "native" has meaning, but the meaning is as clear as mud.

I appreciate that you consider these all to be big advantages, but as a user they fall somewhere between "doesn't matter" and "makes the product worse". The only benefit to your users is the faster time to market, and that's debatable.

As a user, I want an application that performs well (which Electron apps typically don't, my main issue with Atom and Slack), and I want an app that fits in well with my platform, which an app designed to be the same on all platforms just isn't good at.
It's not just music though. Stream if you will/want. I think it's a good model. But that doesn't work for pictures. I know - iCloud, but it's not even as reliable as iTunes. No way am I trusting it for the only backup of videos of my kids. This may be a HN edge case, but out there in the RW, folks are taking pictures at soccer practice that they want to keep forever. It's a real PITA if you can't sync reliably.
Imo, this is a great combination of strategies when you want to keep people away from iterating. It also gives you the basis for a decent ACL system. Yeah, you use a few more bytes per item, but modern DBs can handle that.

Probably worth having a autoincrementing ID on tables using uuids as well, though. Not 100% sure on that, but I've definitely hit batch jobs that need to run / frameworks that require autoincrementing integer IDs, and getting stuck is a pain. (Adding an autoincrementing key after the fact is doable, but at least on postgres involves a rewrite the the entire table, so you kill the heck out of replication)
Hey, that looks useful! I'll take a look at it later. Thanks! :)

Oh, btw: I read my comment again right now and it sounds a little bit arrogant. I'm sorry about that... By saying it's slow and that I don't like the UI, I mean no offense to you guys.

Actually, I think Postman is a very useful tool and my co-workers seem to love it. I's just not for me and my crappy laptop hahah.
