I installed AV once on my android phone after doing something stupid, luckily I got away with it and uninstalled soon after due to irritating pop-up annoyances from the AV app.

Desktop-wise I've been on Linux for well over a decade, I've never used AV except to (rarely) clean out infected files I might share and infect others with, not necessarily for my own protection.

I find the term "brogrammer" to be a derogatory term of abuse that ought not to be uttered in polite company. it is equally as offensive a term as something like, e.g. "feminazi".

that's not to say that there aren't some male programmers that have the culture and mindset of dickhead frat boys. those people do exist.

what I'm saying is that when a journalist uses the term "brogrammer" they generally aren't being subtle or nuanced about it and are firing a broadside against men in general.
Well, if we already transpile ES7 to JS then why not tanspile TypeScript instead because of all the added benefits?

Yeah, turns out it's false.
I'm only happy that there is filesharing because the industry still hasn't figured out how to get me to pay without friction sometimes. Americans have it much easier than those of us in the rest of the world (even in Canada!) and frequently the only way of getting a movie at all, let alone with subtitles in the language that you need it in, is to pirate.

Once someone API-ifies licensing so content creators are easily paid, works easily translated (with a reasonable cut going to the translator!), without any close source blobs to render the content, then of course I'll pick up the pitchforks against TPB, but in the mean time the industry is a mess. My girfriend and I pay for Netflix and Apple music and the occasional film, and HBO, and I pay $40 a month in support on Patreon, but it's death with a thousand cuts right now and TPB is a nice safety valve.

Not sure if it exactly matches what you are looking for, but mentioning a few anyway, in case they are of help:

- For concepts as well as execution, from the bottom up (hardware level etc.), I've read that nand2tetris is good. It gets mentioned once in a while here on HN. Check hn.algolia.com for threads about it.

- any good book on assembly language programming. I've looked at Randall Hyde's book earlier, seemed good. There is also another which I think is good, by an American professor called Paul Carter, IIRC.

Googling should find all of those and more.
Delphi (RAD Studio), Lazarus, and Visual Studio all allow you to create desktop UIs using WYSIWYG designers.

Servo doesn't really do anything for JavaScript (which is pretty much as fast as it's going to get, thanks to all the hard work of the V8, Spidermonkey, and SquirrelFish teams). But speeding CSS up is kind of the whole point of Servo.
Yeah - I like that idea too.

I played around with PhantomJS for something at my current job - it ultimately didn't work out for us (and we went a different route), but it was interesting and fun to learn about.
> Since the oil price crash, investment in exploration has gone down dramatically, so I would argue the contrary.

Taking culture and locking it away until living memory has expired is what should be criminal.

However, if a person chooses to commit a tort and breech copyright and all this third-party did was tell that person where to find someone to help - that certainly shouldn't be considered criminal in any democracy.

When the content owning cabals stop lobbying against things like format-shifting then they'll have a moral leg to stand on. Get back to us then.

Yes, with the focus on the big war on this extreme capitalism. I couldn't vote, but I was hoping Sarah Palin won last time in the US elections. I'm hoping Donald Trump wins this year's election. For the reason that it will fuck up that country so much faster then if a less bad President wins. Our whole world is just so focused on money, money, money. That's the biggest problem. That's why everything fucks up. That's the target we have to fix. We need to make sure that we are going to get a different focus in life.

Hopefully technology will give us robots that will take away all the jobs, which will cause like a massive worldwide unemployment; somewhat like 60 percent. People will be so unhappy. That would be great, because then you can finally see capitalism crashing so hard. There is going to be a lot of fear, lost blood, and lost lives to get to that point, but I think that's the only positive thing I see, that we are going to have a total system collapse in the future. Hopefully as quick as possible. I would rather be 50 then be like 85 when the system is crashing.

-- ^^ THIS THIS THIS.
This is what I hoped for when Bernie Sanders lost, and it looks like it's coming to fruition, Trump is king, and America's going to shit pretty darn fast, soon things will get so bad that people wake up and demand real change. I don't think all capitalism is bad, I think unchecked corporate/chrony capitalism is. Was a time in America where we had capitalism but every dollar over like $10 mill was taxed at near 100% --so that CEO's would instead pay their employees more, or hire new ones and grow the company instead of pad their pockets.
> I don't believe most people think content creator's shouldn't get paid.

I believe most people say they don't think content creators shouldn't get paid, but their revealed preference indicates otherwise.
If that happens a new type of internet might be born - perhaps a mesh.
You're taking a very specific case and generalizing it like crazy. The CS industry isn't all Electron apps and simple jobs.

The most obvious example would be the video game industry were you're not straying very far from C++ anytime soon. Performance, speed and native compatibility are a big deal there.

There's definitely a valid career path there.
I would argue that Hitler's capture of Moscow would have yielded result scores different in both strategical significance and political, than Napoleon's, and it would have handed him a great advantage in 1942.

The strategic importance of the city was hundred-fold different. The Napoleonic wars was a time where the modern states first started engaging in national fights with significant casualty, but still continue the war effort. In this sense it was quite the first "modern" warfare, but the telecommunication technology was still in its infancy; scout messengers were still used and reconnaissance was still relatively rudimentary. Gathered information was a fraction of what the Wehrmacht could gather, and it meant the control center relied on smaller Staff office. Combine it with Napoleon's providential talent, you could essentially have a mobile command center and the army could still function. In 1940s the sheer amount of intel and volume of telecommunication wouldn't be handled by no other place than central capital. Imagine if Napoleon couldn't dispatch orders in time and get the intels that he needed. Moscow needed to be taken specifically because taking it would have damaged Russian effort more than it did in Napoleonic times.

Note that in Napoleonic invasion Russian army set Moscow ablaze and left them to an empty city; in the Barbarossa they were willing to defend it to last man. Even Stalin refused to move away. Production prowess of modern city Moscow wasn't also nothing to scoff at, too.

Von Clausewitz did write that war is a political means(I remember this from first few chapters from On War, though I forgot which translation I read) and one of the primary goals must be to 1) preserve one's own strength, while 2) deteriorate the opponent's fighting capability. Taking Moscow would have done exactly that. It also would have yielded a political gain, as Soviet army at the time was heavily dependent on a few personnel, especially after the Great Purge. Once you take Moscow and demean Stalin's infallibility, you also damage Soviet morale.

I too believe that most of the battles are determined before the engagements. We know of the contrarian ones because they are rare. German generals(Model, Manstein, Rundstedt, Guderian to name a few) were perhaps the most competent ones in the second world war, but they hardly get mentions. (Perhaps deservingly for the ends they were aiming at)

Just out of curiosity, what would it take for you to conclude you had found a good c/kernel/network programmer?
It directly is, otherwise exploitation via voluntary transactions becomes logically impossible.

The whole point is that workers get their 'surplus labor' stolen. The concept doesn't exist without labor theory of value.
Socialism without labor theory of value becomes a naked call to plunder without any pretense of justice.
The Long-Ignored Reptile Rewriting the Prologue to the Dinosaur Story
Thats good point.
I'm guessing from the examples I've seen.

People don't want global bureaucracy like the EU.

They don't want other nations or other people put before their own country and national interests.

They also don't want foreign meddling in their own countries, whether its through lobbying groups, foreign money or just foreign funded media.

If I had to guess, people are feeling a loss of control of their local geographical areas and lives within it, and reacting any way they can to reassert power/control. In america, you can see it from Trump, and Bernie, to things like the Texas and California Exit.

"Houston and Dallas are the most notable examples of where such scarcity has not occurred--in fact, it's almost been the opposite. Between 2010 and 2015, these two metros had the most net population growth, at 736,531 and 676,582, respectively. They are also perennially among the leaders in corporate and business relocation, job growth, and wage growth. But they have the 2nd and 3rd cheapest median home prices of the 11 metros, at $176,000 and $202,000, respectively"
Actually it is quite disappointing to read this paper.

The problems they mention and run into, have already been examined and dealt with in embedded Schemes, such as BIT, PICBIT and PICOBIT.

> In this respect, no. Both suffer from sex related prejudice.

that is misunderstanding or mischaracterizing the point made by OP, who as asking about differences in job preference.

is it because of prejudice that there are many fewer male ballet dancers than female ballet dancers? I don't know much about ballet but I suspect that the major contributor to the difference is that there are many many many more women interested in ballet dancing than there are men interested in ballet dancing. if we expected a 50/50 split in ballet dancer gender representation we would have a problematic expectation for obvious reasons.

is programming similar? seems like it might be.
Right off the bat: No. The reason for that is that crawling using a proper browser (i.e. Chrome) is a lot more resource-intensive than using a dedicated tool which only gets the top resource and maybe tries to parse some additional resources. With these kinds of tools you're limited by available bandwidth and IO speeds if you want to store things. If you're looking at a browser, you'll be limited more by things like memory consumption and CPU time, so you'd need a bigger box or more of them to drive the same amount of traffic. There is also not the same amount of ready made applications which take care of crawling, storing and maybe even indexing your data, so not something you can do without actually implementing a lot of things yourself.

Of course, that is only talking about wide-scale scanning. If you're only looking to scrape a single target, for whatever reason, then having an instrumented headless browser will greatly simplify things. Headless Chrome should be more efficient than running it in a (virtual) framebuffer. Plus the whole setup for a powerful crawler is reduced to "install Chrome, start it, point $crawler at the API endpoint". My guess is that we might see turnkey crawling / automation tools appear where you supply a list of URLs and the library + Chrome does the rest. Then, browser-based large scale scanning will be within everyone's reach, only limited by their resources.

Background: I created https://urlscan.io which will simply visit a website and record HTTP interactions (annotating the resources with some helpful meta data). I've been preaching the power of headless instrumented browsers for the better part of a year now ;)
I live next to a large police building and it is amazing to see the SWAT teams deploy. They drive out in these huge tank like vehicles with members sitting fully outside of the vehicle, holding their rifles and staring down everyone around them.

So two days ago my 2-month old Dell UltraSharp monitor broke with flickering and some cosmetic damage. I reached out to Amazon rep because I bought from there. The repr and I spoke and did some testing. Eventually he said he would help me make an exception by sending me a replacement without any fees, a pre-paid return label, and do a two-day guarantee shipment, despite the return window has already passed (it was April 6th, last week).

I got my new monitor today, and I am happy.

The repr said because of my purchase history. I am a good customer to them, someone who have bought probably couple thousand dollars worth of goods from Amazon over the years.

AWS itself also offered to eliminate all of the charges on my account after a huge spike on billing (which is believed to be the results of network attacks) under no questions.

This is how you build a $300B company. You take constant short-term losses over long-term gains.

United Airline has a long fucking way to learn how to treat its customers. If customer B's flight had a mechanical failure, should do this:

UA: "Sorry, we have a mechanical problem, do you wish to take the next flight? We will offer you a voucher."

B: "No. I need to get there on time."

UA: "Do you wish to take an economy seat? Our first-class is full."

B: "No. I am a priority seating customer." (<--- does this shit even exist?)

UA: "I understand. We will ask if anyone on the current flight is willing to give up."

UA: "HEY PEOPLE ANYONE WANT TO GIVE UP THEIR SEAT FOR X AMOUNT OF MONEY AND INCENTIVES?"

UA: "Okay no one. Increasing. We still have a few minutes left to auction a seat for an economy seat swap."

UA: "Sorry Sir / Madam. No one is willing and the flight is destined to leave now, so we can't hold up the 365 passengers onboard. We are sorry for your inconvenience, we will see if other airlines have seats available and we can help arrange a flight for you based on your continued support of United Airlines."

Now either B take it or leave it. Done. One airplane's delay is a delay for other 100 flights waiting to leave the airport on time.

Win 100 customers over 1 customer.

This is grade-school manner, fucking grade-school manner. Change your policy now if you are so serious about good customer service and fear of law suits.

Actually now I come to think of it, airlines should build an auction/seat auction app.

> Try it. It's hard due to fragmentation.

I've never needed to give any money.

> Which app or site will let me buy a cinema ticket and choose a seat, on a mobile phone.

There are literally tons of apps for this. It isn't hard at all. Heck, just use fandango and be done with it, if you want.

> - credit cards in America put fraud burden on merchants. This is very different from china (ICBC grumble) and fraudsters in the states will target Chinese using credit cards in the states accordingly.

> In theory, yes, it's on the merchant. In practice, it's a whole lot of hassle if your mag stripe card gets skimmed.

Fuck ICBC. Chinese restaurants in Bellevue would pray on Microsoft China employees just because they knew they could scam their credit cards while, when reported to ICBC, would just say "prove you didn't make those charges!" Whereas if it was a non-Chinese AmEx, it wouldn't be a problem at all. Just fuck ICBC, and WePay is a Chinese solution to a Chinese problem.

> Autopay isn't online. Unless you mean your computer or phone has to be on, or the autopay doesn't work.

My gas bill, electric bill, and water bill were just paid a week ago, I didn't have to do anything. EVERY utility has an online presence, and they all support autopay. My rent is on autopay also, as is my car loan, all setup online, the only bills I pay manually are my credit card ones and whatever I get from the hospital, again, paid all online.

> Doesn't work if even a single member of the group uses Android (or Windows or BB), which is pretty likely in a group of more than 4 people.

There are plenty of location services if you don't want to use what is built into iPhone. Note that the iPhone map service works even in China, as my wife had me on it a lot when we lived in Beijing.
Amazon is guilty of this, not so much with customers, but with partners/sellers.
I'm getting tired of people claiming that United can't break their own contracts legally. Of course they can, and no it's not "illegal". Why is that the bar everyone look to for whether or not they should be doing something?

If you believe what United did in this case or the case of the doctor being dragged out is illegal, please continue to pay close attention to what happens in the latter case, as I'm sure it will continue to be reported on for at least the foreseeable future.

Specifically, notice the distinct lack of criminal charges.
Which means increased costs, especially since every other airline is also overbooking flights. Free-market is an asshole in this case: gotta overbook to compete.
That's an understandable survival strategy, but it's also a gross injustice which should be fixed.

Again I'll offer the example of Germany: cops are basically all armed, but they're very slow to pull out their gun. Even if you run at them with a knife, they'll aim for your legs. Saves a lot of lives, with just training and culture.
Clear regulation stating that a passenger may not be forced to leave for any but safety reasons once they're seated, rather than leaving it up to a contract, and providing sufficient funding to whichever organization enforces that regulation?

One of the more promising candidates for the cause of such great expense for various services and projects in the US versus other (generally more-regulation-heavy and more-worker-friendly) OECD states, as recently discussed on here (following a Slate Star Codex post on the topic) is the risk/expense of relying so heavily on contracts and lawsuits to sort out this kind of stuff on a case-by-case basis rather than simply stating that things will be a certain way through regulation, removing (or at least greatly reducing) the uncertainty.
The problem is human greed. Even if you burn everything down and rebuild, the problem of greed remains. Oh, and lust for power. See all of human history.

Those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it.

That doesn't make them automatically guilty of every evil thing people tend to pin on them.

By all means, let's hold them accountable for the evil they've provably done, but the oft-repeated "they sued a guy who had seeds wind up on his field" is throughly debunked.

From an article [1] on rhabdomyolysis:

What movements cause rhabdo?

> Well, there’s no magic movement that always causes rhabdo. But some movements are higher risk than others when performed by new athletes or when performed to excess repetition. These are usually movements with a demanding eccentric motion. Stay with me. This really isn’t too complicated. Most movements have two parts: an eccentric part and a concentric part. Eccentric means that muscles are stretched under load. As you lower into the bottom of a squat, you are performing the eccentric portion of the squat. Your hamstrings are lengthening under load. Concentric means that muscles contract under load. As you drive out of the bottom of the squat you are performing the concentric portion. After being stretched, your hamstrings are now contracting and driving the load upwards. Eccentric motion is very demanding on muscles. Stretching muscles under a load with lots of repetition can cause the muscle breakdown that triggers rhabdo. Here are a few examples of movements with a strong eccentric portion: jumping pullups, GHD situps, walking lunges. Now these are all excellent movements that have their uses in building a strong and healthy body. Just don’t jump into doing hundreds of them, unless you’re a strong and experienced athlete that has worked up to that level of ability. [emphasis added]

I'm looking to try embedded Rust right this weekend. What Hardware are you using?
I tested one in November.

Very narrow field of vision: I had to fish for objects turning on myself and looking up and down. Not good for AR.

No black, obviously. They can't block light from going through rendered objects. This in turn makes colors somewhat ghostly.

Very stable. Once I get an object I can walk around it and it stays there like a real one.

"Clicking" on an object is hard, but maybe it was hard with a mouse when I used it for the first time.
