>My final (and favorite) observation is that developers in Paris take the longest and most consistent lunch breaks. Well, if I lived in Paris, I would too.

A contributing factor might be that a lot of French companies include meal vouchers in their benefits. Generally employees are given the choice to deduce some amount from their payroll and get nearly double that amount in meal vouchers, because the vouchers are government-supported including a tax concession. You can use these at most restaurants in Paris.

You can, of course, use the vouchers to grab a sandwich anywhere and eat it in front of your code, but overall it encourages actual restaurant breaks, since you basically have more money specifically to spend on your lunch.
"Money is cheap at the moment because growth is low, and that in turn means risk premia are lower and so on"

Maybe. Money is cheap if you are a bank or a government backed borrower (like a conforming mortgage loan in the US).

If you have collateral, like the car you're borrowing against, money is kind of cheap ... also if you have a perfect credit history.

But I am not so sure that money is cheap right now out in the real world. If you are a new business with no track record or a consumer with poor credit history I think money might be quite expensive for you ...

I would understand it if the app were tracking how often the headphones were connected, when they were actually being used, or possibly even which app is playing audio (e.g. how much are the headphones being used for listening to music vs podcasts vs videogames) -- although this should all be done anonymously.

But the idea that the app can detect which music or podcasts I'm listening to, and build a profile from that -- if true, that would be shocking. Can anyone answer, is that even possible via iOS API's?

Well put. People like to generalize but there really aren't general truths. I can and do mostly work remote these days but I do have an office I can, do, and derive value from coming into semi-regularly. I also travel a lot so I'm only really sitting at home about half the time.

That said, I've done a lot more collaborative work at other times and definitely got more benefit from working mostly in an office. Also, although I know times and communication mechanisms have changed, I really have trouble imagining that I'd have either enjoyed or done well with working from home when I first graduated.
The Kubernetes docs don't say anything about having to use privileged containers for GPU support. Privileged containers are given tens of Linux capabilities; which of those are actually needed in your setup? Or, conversely, which specific step would fail for an unprivileged container?

Just because I want to use a GPU shouldn't require the power to change the clock, switch UIDs, chown files, mess with logs, reboot the machine, etc.

The British Reality TV Star Building a Fusion Reactor
I don't think so. Clinton was in almost every way except gender a very conventional candidate. Send her back in time to to anytime from 1930 through 2000 and make her male, and she would have made a perfectly normal liberal Presidential candidate.

That is not even remotely true for Trump. He did all kinds of things that in the past would have quickly doomed a campaign.

If Trump had lost that would have just confirmed for people that all those things that the conventional wisdom and past experience has long said would make someone unelectable still make someone unelectable. There would be no need for a book on what they did wrong, for it would be a very short book: "Chapter 1. Don't pick a candidate that did/does almost everything that in the past has doomed candidates. The End".

Clinton losing merits a book because that outcome signals that something profound may have changed.
Huh, I wonder if this was just with certain juice bags, or if they generally pulverize the materials in the bags to make it easier to squeeze. I can easily see this for berries, citrus, etc, but it seems less likely for beets, kale, and other hardier vegetables.

Regardless, their actual market has always been restaurants and offices that want to have juice without a mess or someone who knows how to make it, and that seems less impacted, if perhaps less appealing to their investors.

> I really wonder why Facebooks own react-native-animated, which also works for regular React isn't more popular

It seems like it's because there's been zero documentation on it?

How am I supposed to find out about this library and that it can be used in regular React? When I search for "react animated" the only official docs I get are https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/animation.html, which are now deprecated and have no relation to react-native-animated.

The official documentation for react-native-animated at https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/animated.html don't mention anything about web components (eg. Animated.div) -- they only mention native components: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/animated.html#a...

So I guess my questions are: how do I find out about regular, official React libraries like this? And how do I know this isn't an internal library that won't be changed at some point?

> come here to share in our Ideology. That Ideology is the reason for the economy ... If you're here for the economic incentive, Get the F@##$!@$k out ... If you're here to be American and contribute, Welcome

You mean the American Dream of working hard and earning lots of money for doing so? Isn't that the same thing as coming for the "economic incentive" under a capitalist ideology? I'm a Canadian who'd like to emigrate to the US eventually to earn more, following my economic incentive is the same thing as going to the US to work hard, participate, develop technology and engage in mutually beneficial trade to further the nation.

"My thinking goes like this - as less money in invested actively, the market becomes less efficient at pricing."

Wouldn't it be that the market becomes as efficient at pricing as the accuracy of index inclusion ?

That is, we have replaced the widely varying performance and heuristics of active stock pickers with the more formulaic S&P 500 pickers ?

Presumably that's a lot more efficient, but I suspect there is room for errors and games in index inclusion ...

I've harped on too eagerly turning to SO elsewhere in this thread, but I have to agree with this:

> I end in SO sometimes when looking for some discussion on general concepts i.e. advantages of X over Y, but even then it's not always very helpful.

SO can be useful when what I'm curious about is more theoretical and/or subjective in nature, and thus can't be readily attained from regular reference material.

Here's an example where someone (quite helpfully) points out the connection between monoids and monads: http://stackoverflow.com/a/3870310

I knew the definition of monoid and monad, but what I lacked was enough intuition to (readily) see the connection on my own. It's much more convenient to borrow someone else's insight, rather than sit indefinitely meditating on the nature of a given problem. In those cases a resource like SO (or any other forum, for that matter) can be quite useful -- even if you've read up as much as you can.

I accept your view on haskell and C# distinction. I have the same view.

If I wasn't willing to answer my coworkers questions, I'd consider myself a bad colleague. It would be annoying if people came up to my desk constantly, but they usually send out an email or IM [EDIT] or catch me away from the desk, like in the break room. It's less distracting from a flow perspective (potentially not distracting if those notifications aren't immediately visible). Related, without getting these questions from colleagues I can't know, no one can know, what institutional knowledge we're lacking. I was surprised (sort of) by how deficient my coworkers were with git, until I realized I was one of 3 folks here who do any hobby programming and so had used git on my own time before we adopted it internally on some projects. I'm glad I know that they don't know, because we were able to put together a training course of sorts to bring them up to speed. This has helped with new hires as well. This makes us, as an office, much more effective than if we'd left it to individuals to google for answers (though it may be quicker in the short term, it doesn't help in the long term because they still don't understand the problems they face and the systems they use).
$400 for a machine that in the end doesn't give you freshly squeezed juice? I think a lot of the appeal from squeezing fruit juice is using actual pieces of fruit.

I suppose that's really the heart of the matter, isn't it? When should a company be able to collect what would otherwise be private information protected by law? And if they do collect it, what does the law provide as default protections on selling or transferring that private information?

The "Privacy Policy" bits posted by aaronpk [0] only speaks to collecting what engineers would call telemetry information. It has zero mention of collecting other data, and zero mention of reselling the data.

I know the US is relatively weak on such laws compared to some EU countries. This lawsuit might not go anywhere here, but there could very well be a strong case in, say, Germany.

I feel like I have very bad "mid-term" memory.

I have no problem reading long sentences, and my long-term memory is just fine. But I feel like my brain just forgets things too soon. If I were to speak in front of people about 3 things, by the time I get to the 2nd thing I'd forget what the 3rd is. If I try to learn some non-trivial new concept, like blockchain or coroutine, I understand it just fine, at the time I learn it. But if someone asks me about it after maybe 2 weeks, I'd have no clue and would need to re-learn it.

This also has a pretty big impact on my day-to-day life. I have a very bad sense of direction and suck at navigation, partly because I tend to forget the buildings and landmarks I see. If I take a one-word note in the morning, 30% of time I'll forget what it's about at night.
