I am italian, living in Italy. A part that we have a lot of taxes, if Italy had not 40% of taxes on my salary, probably economy will be better than Germany. There are a lot of corrupt politicians.

A part that, I am 38 and everybody says I look around 5 years younger, I am trying to understand why. It would be really interesting to know it, so I could keep going in the same direction. Maybe cause i always try to avoid stress? Maybe cause I always arrive 5 minutes late? Maybe cause I always try to joke and laugh every day? I do not know, I would like to advice others as well.

Wait .. is this the track where you get a mentor or does it include the "follow along" track as well?
I'd say most people don't put up with it - they have no choice.

The thing that scares me is if this doesn't backfire and affect the bottom line, it could set a precedent elsewhere. With no real unions to speak of in many places (and in some cases, legislation that makes forming unions harder) it will be hard to fight back against.

There is a certain irony, given that "The Pentagon" has become at least roughly synonymous with, "Unbelievably bloated and corrupt". If the F-35 were a privately funded venture, everyone involved would have probably shot themselves.

When I buy books, I intend to read them; I expect Eco does too.
I think the point is the library of as-yet-unread books is more interesting than the library of already-read books.
And it differs from Wikipedia or the Amazon catalog; it's a collection of books that interested me enough to lay out money and shelf space to have nearby.

And when you take the other job instead, be sure to tell Amazon "It sounds like a great opportunity, but I have a comparable offer without your godawful sick policy." Amazon's doing this because they think the extra hours they'll squeeze out of employees outweighs the talent that it costs them.
"How are you retrieving the web page?" would be my first question. I usually do `lynx -dump [http://optional.com/]some.html` to get plain text. I know this works for links also.
> It says that the owner may "make or authorize the making of" a copy for this purpose. This means that whether or not the copy is infringing will hinge on the language of the authorization granted by the owner.

It says "owner of a copy". That's referring to the person who owns the particular copy of the program installed on the machine, not to the owner of the copyright.
A Cloud machine look like https://cloudron.io. It's distributed and they have the button you seek.

Why Are You Still Using Microsoft Word?
People used crashy, buggy, slow software for years. Photoshop and Office lost you data on a regular basis in the 2000's. Windows BSD was a common occurrence then. We didn't see a massive exodus to Mac products because of that. The only reason people started to go crazy for Apple was after the iPod came out. And even then, it was still a small part of the market.

You can see everyday that people favor cheapness, easiness and convenience over quality. You would not have so much junk food otherwise.

Typescript's single biggest win for me is the ability to provide type definitions for my models. This is where the vast majority of my JS bugs come from -- somebody trying to access a nonexistent property of some object (or, if it does exist, incorrectly assuming the type) which was serialized from JSON. Better yet, if you write your back-end in Node you can use the same models in your rest endpoint. It's a huge boost to both maintainability and developer productivity.

However, my biggest frustration with Typescript is the general unreliability of @types. The odds that a given set of typings are complete, correct, and up-to-date are basically nil -- even for some relatively popular projects. Sad to say I've become an expert in Typescript's crazy module augmentation nonsense. Hopefully more big players like Slack contributing to DT will help.
Last time I taught undergrads (last semester) their computers were far from anything as good as we'd have. If I asked them to run anything remotely demanding, it really taxed their laptops.

We really do need to be more mindful of resource usage. I'd rather write my own lightweight clone of something I want than use an Electron-based hog. There are menubar-only apps that come with an entire Electron dependency.
Seems like Apple needs to disincentivize the use of Electron and other user hostile technologies somehow before anything will change.

Your solution to memory leaks is using a lower-level language? I should probably stop reading there..

How do you make SSL connections? How do you parse JSON api's? How do you play audio, integrate with platform features (menu bars, dock dropping etc)? How do you create P2P WebRTC connections that capture camera and mic inputs? Let me guess, you have libraries for that.

People keep bringing this up because they're insecure about their role as programmers in a world where creating useful functionality is becoming easier and more accessable. People keep bringing this up because they don't comprehend what business requirements actually are and the cost of rolling your own technology and battle testing it.

I promise you. We're not all stupid. That's all I'm asking of people to consider before they start solving all the world's problems.
GitLab benefits a lot from Azure and DO credits / free usage. Since they will stay in the cloud the costs will be huge looking into the future and I think it's only a matter of time until the private repos won't be free anymore. No company likes to lose money.

I'll be careful not to tell anyone not to use Flow - we're using many of Facebook's tools and we're grateful for their gifts to the community. If Flow works for people, that's great!

That said, back when we got started, we found that TypeScript is all around a better team player. For us, we found that it worked better with npm modules, different operating systems, vanilla JavaScript, and various coding tools (VIM, Visual Studio Code, Atom, etc).
Last I checked the development in last few months has greatly died down (after they lost funding). It seems to rely on Kenton for all dev work.
Can you provide C code that will not compile with c++ compiler?
It should be ok for light docker usage.

Builds might become memory bound. C++ compilers use lots of ram, and you might not be able to run one per core in parallel (assuming this machine has 2+ cores). I suspect some other languages are similar.

Good grief, that's horrible. I used to work in Amazon's Edinburgh dev office, and this would never have flown.

I really hope this doesn't spread to other locations apart from Germany.
7 Simple Practices That Dramatically Improve Company Culture
Lounge is very good
Thank you,

I agree with #1 100%. I actually took a year off and found a startup in a field where I had an idea for a startup but decided not to do; statistically, it would've been a challenge.

In any case, while my friends were doing co-op (which is like an internship but you get paid and companies get tax benefits), I found and worked at a full-time job. They were busy commenting legacy code while I got to learn so much about everything. This company I worked at even trusted me to fly out and meet directly with clients who would show up with a team of 30 or so Engineers. I truly love this company and I am going back to them.

Regarding #2, I guess I must have struck a universal magic cord and lucked out! But my worry is that, 5-6 years down the line, if I won't be able to goto a company like Tesla/SpaceX for a) having shit grades, b) not getting experience in their field (my startup is more CS/CE) but my degree is in Systems Engineering.

There was a big discussion on Electron today here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14087381

Here's a bunch of examples: http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/write-c-program-wont-compiler-c...
I think it's also hard because it's not as if crappy hours, tight deadlines, and low pay are directly killing people. Sure, stress is bad for you and you deserve to make enough money to provide for yourself and have healthcare, but I imagine conditions are overall still better than at the beginning of the labor movement, which involved rather dangerous factory work. It's easier for people to tolerate 60+ hour weeks and the like if they're paid well enough or if they hold hostile views towards unions, which I don't think is uncommon in the software field as a whole.

More specifically, every time CPUs or browsers get better, publishers look at their metrics and go "Oh! PLT at 95th percentile is down! Great, now we can add more trackers while still hitting our perf target!" and so the gain is immediately gobbled up -- we're in a Red Queen Race and websites will never get faster.

It seems like most people here are assuming this'll mean employees will simply go into work when they are sick. This might actually lead to employees taking vacation time instead of sick time. One of my past employers actually did away with ALL sick time. One was only able to take vacation time when one was sick.

In reality, it probably will lead to people coming into work when they are sick. However, for serious sickness, like the flu, it'll probably lead to people taking vacation time.
System76 Galago Pro (with Specs)
Yeah, this was my problem. I do not think its a good idea not to have some sort of a backup. I want to take the leaps of faith that one needs to make to start a startup (or heck, even join one in its infancy), but having this shitty piece of paper that will act as a cushion is good. At least, I know that if I start a family, I won't be feeding them ramen as well.

I am... really worried about that part of one's life, being ~24/25.

What's with all the comics?

For anyone who's completed a CS degree, how much studying did you do per night. I understand working on projects etc can eat up hours but I don't really include that.

Back at college just now and starting university in Sept. I had never studied in my life until college (coasted of natural ability all my life) and I'm finding it difficult to even spend 1hr a night. (Average mark currently is 80%) 5hrs per night seems insane to me.

When studying I either understand the concept fully and fire through it rapid. Don't understand it and spend ages figuring it out/trying to find answers online. Or have no idea, can't find anything in the textbooks/online and resort to crying in the corner.
It does have a small additional own flavor of configuration, but basically, it's nearly identical to some of OSS project written in typescript, like RxJS (https://github.com/ReactiveX/rxjs/blob/master/tsconfig.json / https://github.com/ReactiveX/rxjs/blob/master/tslint.json) cause basically it just inherited those configurations. For VS code preferences, there isn't one unified one but just leave each individual picks configs based on own preferences.

This section specifically has the comparisons: https://about.gitlab.com/products/#compare-options
I don't agree at all. HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 are not especially simple protocols, but they're not that complicated. They aren't unnecessarily complicated, that's for sure. They have a set of features that necessitates a level of complexity, but it's better to do it in HTTP/2 once and only once than to repeat the same failures and reworks and added features and upgrades etc. etc. etc. to get the same level of features in a million different application protocols.

Because otherwise you'll get to the same place as we were with HTTP/1.1: your nice 'simple' protocol will need to be replaced with one that can support multiple streams, etc.

Question for TypeScript users from someone who's still on the fence: Are you at all worried that TS will end up like CoffeeScript?

That is, it starts out with some great ideas that are quite easy to get behind, but JavaScript keeps on advancing year after year and soon you have the same features available but with an annoyingly different syntax, or you actually end up falling behind the curve. You're also not able to simply use the latest JS features, my last attempt at adopting TS died when I found it didn't at the time support object rest and spread properties, which I had been liberally using via Babel for quite some time.

It seems like Flow is a "safer" choice to me, but I'd love to hear if you disagree.
This is a bad faith answer.

>One of my first commercial projects was a web-content management system written in Objective-C

You certainly didn't use any of your cocoa widget for the UI there. It was HTML + CSS.

> This product ran on: Solaris, AIX, NeXTStep, Linux, OS X. I think we also had a Windows port.

Yeah, GNU steps for GUI on windows... This is what you think could be an argument for electron users ?

> In the sense you meant it: yes. Except it's more like 30 years.

Again bad faith. The world has way, way more code, snippets, tutorials and doc about any HTML + CSS + JS code than any tech based on Objective-C.

Programming knowledge is transferrable, but the knowledge of the ecosystem is not, and is always the most consumming.

> Is this a serious question?

Oh yes, it is. Because you see we are living an era where it's hard to find any good programmer at all for anything. They are all taken, and are very expensive.

So basically, on a tech limited to one ecosystem, finding them will be even harder, and even more expensive.

The simple fact that you are pretending it's no big deal (while any company will tell you otherwise, so much that the GAFAs are spending millions just in their recruitment process) illustrate how much a troll you are.

That isn't the point. JS does something the others can't. It has flexibility and a community that's larger than anything you know plain and simple. Btw, i am a grumpy non JS developer, or used to be. Started with assembler, c/c++, then c#. That sums up most of my professional career. I was wrong judging JS too fast, that's all i'm saying. Many of my colleagues are still grumpy about it, they'll get over it over stay behind. If they do move on they will see what they're missing soon enough.

Who comes up with this shit. If someone is sick they shouldn't come to work at all, ever. You should encourage people to stay home so they don't get others sick. If they can manage, have them do a little work from home.

Moving from a small (10 person) company to a building with 1000 people in it I went from almost never being sick to getting sick 3+ times every winter.

Strongly encourage your employees to stay home when they're sick as long as they're getting their jobs done. If they're out frequently or for a long period of time (4+ days) require a doctor's note. That's your sick policy. Done.
Mixed C, Objective C and C++ code-bases are still fairly common. That's not to say they're the same language.
