> If it wasn't true, we'd just make programming languages with no UB. It's not like compiler writers are just lazy.

Well, we do make programming languages with no undefined behavior. :) It's just that C and C++ need UB.

For instance, all your examples are things that Rust and Swift can statically prove without resorting to UB in the language semantics. Null pointer assumptions become precise with nullable types. Optimizations around opaque calls can be made sound with static knowledge of aliasing and type safety (most importantly, TBAA is a sound analysis if your language is memory safe). Signed overflow UB is less important to optimize around if programmers use proper iterator constructs so the compiler can soundly determine trip count. And so forth.

(I'm sure you know all of this, just stating for the record.)

I'm not saying that's what's happening, I'm just saying there's an idiomatic use of "playing these companies" that doesn't involve betraying a trust.
Why do you think this is so?
Meanwhile, at the Indian contracting company where I currently work, I came across a few lines of code in a phone application that no longer logged data to a log file. I was told that it had been there for a number of years. As I went to instinctually remove it, I was told by my supervisor that "we don't remove anything unless we get a Code Cleanup task". Cleaning up the code now would be "Out of Scope". It's no wonder now how this project has 1M lines of code and 10K files... Garbage in, nothing out.

Excellent work, I would get it if it was available on other platforms. Do you have (or plan to add) velocity per note? I find it important to compose expressively. I'm also wondering how it would be visualized with your interface. Maybe it's best to keep it minimal and uncluttered, you can only add so much information on the canvas before it becomes a mess.
Food was by far our largest expense, but not because we choose the fancy fish and steak options. Instead we picked lots of food we wished we had been served at weddings we had been to. Tasty comfort foods, like a mashed potato bar (add your own toppings) and buffalo chicken sliders and lots of little tapas-style treats. We got so much positive feedback on the simple items, and continue to do so to this day. So glad we resisted the urge to serve uptight "fancy" selections!

This can be said of every CMS ever that isn't designed for very specific cases. Many would argue Wordpress is significantly worse and a massive mess. Atleast Drupal 8 tries to standardize and use good standards. If you know a better CMS out there, or any specific current problems with drupal 8, lets hear it.
Respect to the black "top band" the HN site is wearing now. Have a pleasant journey, Mr Taylor.
There's an interesting tie-in to the start-up world here. A co-worker of mine started saying a couple of years ago that "cycling is the new golf," and that's definitely true in Silicon Valley. You are more likely to run into tech CEO's and bankers on Saturday morning climbing up 84 in Woodside than you are at the driving range. And, if you want to be able to hobnob with those folks, you'd better be able to hang with them as you pedal up a 10% grade ...

A CSR returns 4.5% on travel/dining, if you only redeem on travel through the Chase portal, which is not a ripoff based on when I've checked and what I've read (you can get even better effective rates if you transfer miles to airlines strategically).

That means if you spend > $6000/yr on travel/dining (which includes uber/lyft/taxis and hotels/airbnbs besides the usual), you're going to come out ahead of the $150 fee ($450 fee - $300 travel credit) as compared to a no-fee 2% cash back card. The $300 travel credit won't count, so change that $6k to $6.3k. This is well within reason for a lot of white collar folks.
Yeah, I've thought about it but couldn't figure out a good way to do it UI-wise. In terms of my design goals, it's important that every audible element be visible on screen, so I can't just shove it into a separate mode.

What I have found is that this is often made up for by the arbitrage opportunities!

Because traditional industries are so out of touch with the latest hipster trends, giving them just a little taste (calibrated to appear as bottom line-relevant as possible to the right stakeholders) can make you seem like the second coming of Jesus, get you massive raises and promotions, and make you essentially layoff proof. I remember I had a job in 2006 - where I was a low-grade operations nobody - and I prototyped something in client-side JS for an internal project. Overnight I became Master Sensei, and everyone in engineering (not my division) knew my name. They were mortified when I tendered my resignation.

It doesn't always work. Megacorps don't intrinsically care about new technologies for their own sake, and it is true that defending the value of engineering to a bunch of greying MBAs in financial services or retail can be demoralising, at times infuriating or heartbreaking. Sometimes this type of activity can be consigned to skunkworks that never get a hearing or see the light of day, whether for political reasons (you're infringing on the J2EE guys' turf) or because management isn't tech-savvy enough to understand the value.

But man, when it works, it works! I'm in telecom, and much of the industry - by the numbers, forget Twilio and WebRTC - operates according to soul-deadening customs that have changed little since the 80s and the advent of the micro-computer. Core routing tables and key provisioning databases are still distributed as giant spreadsheets and Access databases. Cable companies can be surprisingly low-tech, too.

I've seen what happens when one becomes their connection to spiffy, modern innovation techniques like regular expressions and Python ETL jobs. The threshold for mind-blowing Bushido is startlingly low in enterprise. That can really make you an A-player in their eyes.

Your main competition is going to be that these companies prefer to source such insights from giant professional services companies and consultancies, who can be similarly low-tech, but some of whom have realised there's enormous money to be made in opening large companies' eyes to 2003-era technology like Perl and Subversion. There's also the fact that big companies don't like the risk profile of depending on one guy or a small team to do advanced stuff. They'd rather spend millions of dollars to have it done mediocrely by Accenture or Deloitte, in the customarily obese enterprise fashion, skies darkened with "Linux resources" and the Sun eclipsed by UML diagrams and process maps.

The other main danger is, as you allude, falling behind because the threshold for being ahead of the curve is so low. If you show them screen scraping or write an internal portal in a modern JS framework, they'll think you're from the future. Then you get into an actual tech company job and realise you've become an entrenched maintenance specialist in some decade-old stuff.

If you decline the car rental company's insurance and charge the rental fee to your Amex, then Amex has a free car rental insurance plan. It's essentially secondary to any other coverage you carry, so if you wreck a rental car and already carry collision insurance, then it hits your coverage first and the Amex plan just pays your deductible.

They've also got an opt-in plan where any time you rent a car with your card they charge you a $25 flat free, and then that buys you coverage that runs primary so you don't have to claim against your own car insurance at all.
Honest answer: ask your parents, your spouse, and your spouse's parents.
This I can agree with. The community frowns upon selling modules. This is reflected by the official repository offering no option of purchasing modules, no marketplace. Contributors only make money by being sponsored by hosting sites like Acquia, where usually they're making modules /for/ them. This of course makes Drupal unnattractive for more advanced functionality. But, single developers still try to create that functionality anyways, even if its something that needs constant work and usual updates. This then understandably falls to the way side because life. Some things just need business behind them, they can't survive on openness alone.

> DARPA generally doesn't pay contractors anything like what the private sector pays employees.

Eh. You can get like a $200/hr rate. If you're a small company with low overhead, you can get paid quite competitively with the private sector in base comp. Difficult to match big G stock grants, though, no one is becoming a millionaire off of this work.

Unless of course what you do on the grant can be turned into a billion dollar company, because (generally) contractors walk away from research programs with liberal rights to the IP they create, with the government retaining some rights to use, but very rarely (IME) retaining direct ownership. Of course, it's probably not that likely that what you do can turn into a billion dollar company but hey, one can dream...

>Software is hard.

More like Apple is extremely arbitrary and ham-handed with their APIs. Cocoa Touch is the most poorly designed framework I have ever dealt with in my programming career. Their insistence on keeping the libraries closed source is absolutely insane, and often leaves you needing to roll something completely custom just to change a color. The lack of a viable native alternative led me to abandon iOS development personally.
That actually is a really good point about packages on NPM, or rather the culture of a 'package for everything.'. All it would take is somebody to lose their github account or go rogue, for one popular package that requires their package to also be compromised, and then hundreds to thousands of sites are silently vulnerable.

Seriously. A standard ES6 JS project will run you to actual hundreds of packages. Thats a huge attack surface.

My last salary was about 70,000 NZD, which is less than $49,000 USD. I now make $87,000 USD (about 124,000 NZD), and I've got a written agreement for a raise to $95,000 in about another six months (135,000 NZD). The most I ever made in NZ was one year where I worked two different contractor jobs at about 60 hours per week and I brought in maybe 80k NZD ($56,000 USD). I now make $31,000 USD more than that at just 40 hours of work per week.

My grandma passed away few months ago and I had to cancel an air ticket that I bought through Priceline.

When I called Chase to use their travel protection, the CSR redirected me to eclaimsline.com.

I filed a claim and uploaded my credit card statement showing the charge and the email receipt from Priceline. few days later they updated the claim demanding statement from both my airlines (booked on two different airlines) stating that I did not receive any refund (or partial), terms and conditions of ticket cancelation from both airlines, T&C from Priceline because i purchased via Priceline, a copy of the death certificate and statement from Priceline confirming that I didn't receive a refund or credit. And all of these statements must show the company logo (email address wasn't enough apparently).

Worst part was United didn't have a template for no refunds issued for this ticket and the CSR who emailed me chose a template that mentions credit for future flights in case of cancelation due to family emergency. My claim was denied because of the word credit in that email and I had to email few times before they finally agreed to pay me. This took well over 5months.

So yea, I'm really thinking about canceling my Reserve card and getting an Amex Platinum.

I think you and Scott need to re-evaluate your heavy-handed rules and consider your direct role in enabling the entitled, elitist, and often misogynistic attitudes that are so prevalent within the current tech culture. Instead of allowing the community to let this user know that, hey, maybe you shouldn't diminish every single person other than yourself, that maybe the problem actually lies with himself? Someone needs to let these individuals know their behavior is unacceptable, and you are in a unique position to achieve just that: You could have detached his thread, but instead you choose to focus on anyone criticizing him?

Instead you're providing this ridiculous protectionist world in which people like him get away this attacking an entire class of people but as soon as someone turns the tables on him, you swoop and provide protection? This is pretty fucking ridiculous.

Prediction: AI ad blockers become accurate and automatic enough; ads mutate into AI-based transformation of content to include paid placements.

The price of the news article or Youtube video of the future is that when you see someone drinking a Pepsi, you can't be sure if they ever actually did that. Or whether your friends saw the Pepsi when they watched the same thing in the other room.

And thus ad blockers cease to make sense; you can no longer tell what you'd be missing if you used them unless you're the centralized corporation that hoards this data.

It is, yes, only when used for travel via their portal. Totally possible it's not worth it for you, but I certainly get by :) Being able to redeem as 2.25% cash if I want or 1.5X as airline miles is a ton of flexibility. Means if I want to fly Korean First to Asia, its 80K miles one-way. If I find a cheap flight, it's often better to redeem as cash. I fly a lot though.

The usual cash-back card I point people to is the Citi Double Cash 2% flat with no annual fee -- didn't realize the Fidelity went Visa!
