I can't believe so many of you people are happy to use rhetorical techniques to convince (read: manipulate) people's opinions and yet, you object to others doing so.

Look at you, relying on attempts to place yourself as an informed authority talking to the uninformed masses, and using an imprecise description of awesome powers wielded by hidden agents to people's detriment.

Unbelievable hypocrisy. In contrast to your comment, an ad for Viagra is straightforward.
Personally I think Spring creates more problems than it solves. Certainly many legacy projects I've seen have more complexity than if they were written cleanly.

I was hoping I could move to a new language & platform and put it behind me but its following me!

Has anyone tried and liked it?
I disagree. The thought that you have unique roadblocks is, in itself, disempowering.
It uses transphobic wording such as "sex" instead of "gender". I wouldn't use it as an example of a good rights declaration.

This would be great for refactoring code.
Otoh, my colleagues were surprised seeing easy and good-looking two-panel diff and blame right in Xcode. Analyzis build (one that shows blue arrows for how we can get into trouble) was surprise too. It seems that preference depends on use cases and two products can differ in different ways, not only as superior vs. regular.

I never did anything in VS though, cause its interface always turned me 180 after first run. And I can write Makefile and .gvimrc from scratch much faster than it installs itself.
At least earphones and speakers use permanent magnets[1], though according to Wikipedia[2] the early ones actually used electromagnets. I agree though that relays and maglev use electromagnets. I'm not sure about the rest.

I developed at a Windows-centric shop for several years using C# and Visual Studio, and I can personally attest, at least in 2013, that stock Visual Studio is pretty far behind Java IDEs in its capabilities. At the time everyone I talked to recommended I get my manager to get me a copy of ReSharper, but it wasn't in our team's budget. At least in 2013, here's where I remember C# IDE support was lacking:

* No automatic incremental compilation. It turns out, this feature is specific to Eclipse alone. In my current job I'm forced to use Intellij and cannot figure out for the life of me why people think Intellij is better. Automatic incremental compilation is a game changer and only Eclipse has it.

* Limited Code analysis and search. For instance checkout this SO: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/282377/visual-studio-how-.... This kind of symbolic analysis and code search feels essential to me in an IDE, and stock Visual studio just didn't seem to have it beyond the basics.

* Weak refactoring and code generation support. ReSharper might bridge the gap a little here, but stock Visual Studio felt way behind.

* Weak ecosystem for plugins and tool integration. With Java IDEs I have excellent integration with unit test frameworks, code coverage tools, checkstyle, my command-line build tool, etc. I remember it taking a fair bit of effort just to be able to run NUnit tests in Visual Studio. Why NUnit? Well, our software needed to build on Linux with Mono so we needed to use a cross-platform unit testing framework instead of the one built into visual studio.

As a side note, I think the plugins ecosystem is another area where Eclipse has an edge over Intellij. For instance, when I tried Intellij's code coverage tool I eventually gave up on it because it had a critical bug I couldn't diagnose that resulted in incorrect code coverage being displayed.
First of all, make sure all of the Christians commit suicide. Put that in as a right: I have the right to force Christians and Jews to commit suicide. They are mental lepers who need to be put to death so their disease does not spread.

Next, we need to drive home the point that dialectics means Christian. Not dianetics. I'm not talking about Scientologists. I'm talking about Communists. Communists are closet Christians. Obviously Scientologists with Christian and Communist sympathies will be upset by this new Bill of Modern Rights. And a great many others no doubt, such as Islamic and Chinese students of religion.

Agreed. Religion should not even be mentioned. Everybody should have the right to believe whatever he/she wants as long it doesn't violate other laws like not killing other people.

I think it's A.

It's just always been easy to close our eyes to it, but western shops are full of products created through slavery. A couple of years some people (at least in Netherland) drew attention to the fact that nearly all chocolate is grown by people who are effectively slaves, and there was no way to eat chocolate while being sure you didn't support slavery. A lot has been done to improve that situation (at least in Netherland; no idea about other countries), but the same is still true with other products. If your smartphone is not a Fairphone, chances are that some of the materials used it in, have been dug up by slaves. Cheap clothes are often made in sweat shops, often by children who should be in school.

The public face in western developed countries may have been freed from the appearance of slavery and oppression, but that's just a thin veneer. Slavery, child labour and really awful working conditions are still appallingly common, and are a big part of the reason why so many products in our shops are so cheap. And most people close their eyes to it because it's easy to ignore, and we like cheap stuff. And when we do see it, it's so easy pretend it's not really slavery, because once you take up that fight, it never stops, because there's so much injustice that still needs to be righted.

And even in western countries, vulnerable people (illegal immigrants, young women, people with mental disabilities) are conned or pressed into all sorts of situations that are disgustingly close to slavery.
> which compares to a clearly achievable outcome which tens of thousands of people of similar skill levels get offered every year

Are you asserting that those five turn over a majority of their mid-career engineers annually? That's the only way I see the tens of thousands number being accurate.

As for "mere mortals", I think most of us realize these companies hire them. Hell, I've been interviewing for my company a lot recently and a number of the people from those companies have been underwhelming at best (some to the point of causing me to wonder how they got hired there and I didn't). The issue is that many of us have soured on the random bullshit in their processes and have decided to stop throwing ourselves at it. I think it is a disservice to the up-and-coming not to acknowledge that and for them to realize it is "realistic" in a similar way that hitting a number in roulette is.
Awesome! I was looking for such widget as a TreeList.

I don't think its possible to HAVE any real consequences. Clearly they are american companies. Europe can't do a whole lot about shutting them down.

They could block them, if it wasn't for laws. But even if it was not for laws, who would really want to not have access to google?

To be real about any of this, the Internet is killing the concept of "jurisdiction".
Why not include Web2Py since it's straightforward for beginners?
The code is more interesting if you -do- actually dereference the pointer, too. I've changed the prototype of "bogus" to take a single char as the first argument, and dereference the two pointers inside the do_arr/do_ptr functions:

https://goo.gl/jZYx0f

So the "do_arr" version "knows" what value is at * arr because "arr" is immutable, so the compiler can just choose to load a constant. The "do_ptr" version has to load from memory instead.

But what if we tell the compiler that the value of "ptr" won't change (i.e. "char * const" instead of "const char * ")? The code becomes the same:

https://goo.gl/iNaUHe

So basically "const char []" and "char * const" are more logically equivalent here.
Same here. I want to find a good and affordable high-protein and low-carb diet which is sustainable over months, years, or maybe a lifetime, and yet Google fails me every time. It's always some bright-smiling 22-year old chick (as if they need a diet before 30), or some old guy who discovered how his diet fixed his knee problem, or an Indian guy who is happy to tell us how everybody else is bullshitting us but hey, HE HAS THE ANSWERS. Etc. to infinity.

Also nobody wants to give you an affordable diet. Hello, I can't pay for salmon 3 times a week, okay? I know it contains an easier to digest fat, fine! Can't you give me some alternatives?

It's infuriating. But Google optimizes for advertisement money and there are known "cheats" on how to be on top in Google searches which aren't well addressed to this day.
>Kotlin came across as strangely familiar, though, and eventually I realized it's because it looks like Swift -- which I was slow to notice because my iOS app is in Objective C for irritating legacy reasons. And of course now I know that's backwards: Kotlin predates Swift by several years, so it's more accurate to say that Swift is like Kotlin.

That's why i said that the hype behind rust is unreasonable. Just look at your post. Is it an objective look at programming ? Or just a lot of words that make rust look like the greatest thing ever ? If you think it is objective, what you wrote that is, then why did you not spend 10min looking at Ada ? Why did you even mention GC, the tired argument as to why "rust is better then Go (note: go has a thing that is more awsome then anything in rust, not that you would care; also go can be used without gc) ? Not that it matters anyway. There is more to programming languages then "features". There is no "perfect" programming language. Rust is most definitely not a replacement for C. And it sucks at "systems programming", whatever that is (for kernel programming, C is definitely a lot better). Just the mere fact that i will not talk about the shortcomings of rust is a clear indication that there is too much hype behind it (you can blame it on the "loud minority", but there is none).

Feel free to write yet another page of text about how rust is the most greatest thing that is great and i am wrong.
It would be interesting if this meant she was allowed to express political views and she then campaigned to reform (or maybe end) the Imperial system. I know the Emperor is forbidden from politics, but I don't know if that applies to the entire family. It seems like a lot of ridiculously Byzantine nonsense surrounding what is an entirely ceremonial position at this point.

They almost considered changing the succession laws to allow women to ascend the throne but shelved the effort when a male heir (Hisahito) was born (crisis averted I guess.) So what, really, is there to "royal status?"
As I understand it, it's a series of tubes...

On a more serious note, it can be discussed when e.g. Google sells ad space to a German company which then advertises in France, whether the business is being done in Germany, France, or both. But it sure ain't Ireland or the Cayman Islands...
try skytorrents.in does something similar.

Is "right" the correct abstraction? An alternative might be "obligation".

Bill of obligations:

Article 1: All parents are obligated to either support their children and provide their physical and educational needs, and give them the emotional support they need to grow up or leave them up for adoption at the earliest opportunity.

Article 2: Adult children must financially support their parents by a percentage of their income while their parents are over the age of 65.

Article 3: The nearest relatives with income to a person with disability are obligated to support that person financially.

Article 4: The government have obligation to help the needy, the disabled, the elderly, the abandoned, to search for their nearest relatives and garnish their wages and income to ensure the persons' needs are fulfilled.

Etc etc. Instead of centralising social welfare payments through the government, we can place this obligation back towards those nearest to those who need help. Instead of paying taxes to the government for who knows what causes, they go directly to those nearest to us, and if supporting them is too onerous, search for the next nearest relatives.

These articles obligations can be extended to include companies, governments, institutions. Any entity that doesn't fulfil their obligations can be sued by anyone, rather than only when they violate the plaintiff's "rights".

It definitely is. I started with C++, and at some point I found my way to Common Lisp. At first I was surprised at how many weird names the latter has... and then I got used to them, started to like them, and now I shake my head when I see new languages inventing new names for things that had a perfectly good Lisp name already, probably because they didn't know the concept had already existed for 50+ years...
Google Assistant app to run searches from photographs
Jesus people, the medium is the message. Advertising is not a scourge on society because of what it does to convince viewers. Rather, it's the precedents set by advertising that are so awful: using repetition and other cheap psychosensory tricks to induce brand recognition; relying more heavily on ads than making a good product; using sleazy, mathematically unsound data and fooling execs everywhere into believing the figures; and don't forget the music - the horrible, monotonous music that plagues the modern ear everywhere it goes. Advertising does work, but it works by instilling maddening mediocrity in many simultaneous forms to arrive there. I believe that society could be worth more than what the ad industry thinks of us, but today they do treat us like the easily fooled buffoons that comprise the majority of our culture. Until we stop being such low effort creatures, we should expect ads to continue to contribute to our increasing global media fatigue.
sigh I really wish these kind of notifications became a lot clearer about what actually happened and what the user is supposed to do.

Their message is: (Ignoring the update on top):

- Para. 1: Marketing bullshit

- Para. 2: Short blurb about what happened

- Para. 3: Incomprehensible techno-babble for the average user of their service, ending with an important action point (however, I suspect most users' eyes would have glazed over by now)

- Para. 4: A random note, again with important info in the tail.

- Para. 5: Something about what they have done that will cause user impact, mixed with some more about their internal remediation, and the suspected cause.

It goes on, but I'm already bored.

Instead they should clarify their format:

- There has been an incident that resulted in an unknown 3rd party getting hold of your email address for this site, and a scrambled version of your password. This may impact you in the following ways:

-- There is a strong possibility that the thieves will be able to unscramble your password.

--- If you use the same password here as you do with other websites, you should change your password on all those websites immediately See the end of this notice for more assistance and information.

-- We will automatically change your password for our site, and this means you will have to [insert process]

- We are taking the following steps to ensure this isn't going to happen again:

-- Step 1

-- Step 2

- We have reported this incident to the relevant authorities.

- For the next x months we will contract with service y to track if any of the stolen data will surface, and will inform you if this happens.

- We recommend that you use a password manager. please see [link] for a handy guide on how to choose and get started with a password manager.

- You can always reach us via [channels] to discuss this issue further. If any part of this message isn't clear, please click [here] to chat with one of our support staff.

- Apology.

- More background details, etc.
Slight off-topic and a shameless plug:

Are you guys working on removing the websites who somehow manage to be on top when you search for an entire class of queries? They are practically empty, they contain 10+ affiliate Javascripts (with which they supposedly make money from clicks?) and are basically a search query aggregators, yet Google haven't removed them yet.

Sorry I can't give examples, but these sites are out there and IMO should be outright banned. They bring zero value to customers and I'd argue that a good part of them are bringing zero value to Google as well -- they utilize some "SEO secrets" to get to the first page of Google without paying a penny.

Thanks for your reply, I guess my post was confusing because of my poor english.

What I want to do is : I have 33% now and I want that 33% = A% + B% + C%

A% I keep it
B% repurchased now
C% repurchased later (after funding round for more valuation)

We all 3 agreed on this scenario and I wanted to have the good amount for A, B and C.

We are friends working together so we didn't agreed on a vesting schedule, and we worked without salary, and we each invest 10K to launch it.

I know that A% will be a dead weight, I got other advises saying 10% is too much, I should keep 1/4 of my 33% = 8.25%

I have been developing professionally for 20 years and I'm in my early 40s. What I've learned:

* Salary compression is real: most companies are not going to keep giving you raises to match what the market would give you for your skills. They would rather you leave and take all of the institutional knowledge with you than pay you the amount you could get elsewhere. Even if that means hiring someone else at market value.

* Don't get comfortable at a company to the point you're not getting new experiences and learning new skills. Don't become a dinosaur.

* Even if you don't want to become a manager, when the time is right and you have the right skill set, demand a title with "architect" or equivalent in it. Titles are B.S. but people listen to developers with "architect" as part of their title. I insisted on the title and now I'm being recruited for much higher salaries even though I had the same responsibilities as a "senior".

* Good local recruiters are your friends. They can tell you salary ranges for a job and they do a lot of the hard work for you.

* know how to calculate your contract rate if you're doing contract work. Your rate will be different if you are a W2 contractor vs a 1099 contractor. Take into account self employment taxes (1099), the lack of PTO, the time between contracts etc.

* Whether you are a contract or perm, realize that you are still your own company. Your employer is your customer. Do you your best work but never feel a sense of loyalty that keeps you from jumping ship for higher pay. They don't have any loyalty to you.
