We'll see how Kotlin looks when it's as old as Scala is. They haven't yet had to make substantial changes while keeping compatibility with existing codebases; that's hard for any language and much harder for a language that throws in a lot of ad-hoc special-case features at the language level (which Kotlin does a lot more than Scala, despite how it might superficially seem).

> It's a privilege to live here, if you can't afford it too bad.

From my brief stint in SD, I thought that sentiment was interesting. Especially considering that the housing market is very heavily tied into the military stipend provided for active members. There is a noticeable shift on a nearly annual basis where rental prices shift across the board all together and it doesn't have much to do with influx of residents/demand, but with the stipend increasing for active members. I don't know if this stretches to home-buying as well, but it's almost as if there's this strange symbiotic relationship between the city and military (government) and everyone else is just expected to keep up.

I have a comp eng degree but was completely burnt out after graduation. I jumped into digital learning instead; it's ideal for me as it's still "IT" but combined with my other favourite areas, education, product and design. The learning curve wasn't so bad, there are plenty of good WYSIWYG authoring tools with only barebone knowledge of HTML/ CSS/ JS required - although you'll quickly find that that's much less important than the skills to teach and to have a good design eye, for example.

So now, most of my job is to assess training needs, design a programme solution - along with its curriculum, script, storyboard etc - then develop the actual eLearning, test-test-test then launch. So quite similar to a software development cycle - except most often this is a one-man job and shouldn't last more than a couple of months.

Initially I was naive enough to think hey, I got this, but there's a reason why MOOCs generally have high drop-out rates. The bar for eLearning is extremely high. You also have to take account of other limitations, from outdated IT systems to the sizeable number of computer illiterates/ Luddites to the organisation's own conflict of whether the training should look 100% corporate (aka boring) or creative (learners cry hurray!)

But I find that I enjoy navigating through them and finding the right balance. I also learnt a massive amount about how to teach, what good designs mean and how to listen to users. In terms of opportunities - well there's enough I suppose, at least for me I can work on my edtech project - for children, cos hey it's just more fun ;) - with a backup contract work to keep the money going.

That just means you've got to proactively seek out new ideas you're uncomfortable with, and be mindful that not everything can be found on Google. It's not a reason to use a crappy search like Yahoo or Bing (which only indexes 1/10 of the pages Google does: http://www.worldwidewebsize.com/).

> a for profit company becoming the arbiter of truth

Wikipedia is more of an arbiter of truth than Google; so far Google has limited itself to indexing information rather than summarizing or categorizing it.

I watched the whole thing, allow me to summarize.

Her story begins: She quits her presumably well paying job at Cisco because she finds it uninspiring. She drafts a strict list of requirements.

- No homogeneous cultures.

- No arrogant young techbros.

- No stupid apps.

- No to being co-founder or first engineer.

- No offices more than 30 miles away.

Susan has a keen nose. She spots red flags immediately just by a single stroll through the office. This is a common occurrence for her. She never gets feedback after a phone screen or interview. How unhelpful! Except when she does get feedback. That feedback deserves to be criticized publicly. You hired someone you used to work with? You are a nepotist! Expecting someone to know Ruby when applying to a Ruby job is confusing. Code challenges are dumb. She also considers herself a mid-to-senior level engineer who shouldn't be subject to them. This is despite a practically non-existent track record of accomplishments on her resume. Anyways, life is hard when you have 100 interviews lined up, who has time for code challenges. Also you never get feedback on code challenges. Except when you do, then she will criticize that technical feedback in a public rant. Finally a job offer! But this startup wanted to pay her less than she made at Cisco. It was also less than the market rate for a Software Engineer in San Francisco. No attention is given to the possibility that Software Engineer is a broad category and what she does may be less valuable than someone else. She explains this to the CEO who refuses to budge. She specifically has no feedback on what any of these companies could do better. They are just stupid jerks. She concludes with a final message: Its not you, Its them!

This was perhaps the most entitled speech I've ever heard in my life.
I don't know if you're aware of this, but your statements are coming off awfully privileged. From the idea that people need to "earn" things, a strangely unique American perspective that you "earn" anything at all (completely pretending that you didn't start off ahead in a lot of ways anyway). To the idea that "its pretty simple" [sic] and that the blindingly obvious solution is to just "own the things you use" - a luxury that not many people can do.

On somehow related note uber's location tracking when app is not used without an opt out option is the biggest wtf so far for me :( Why as an user I don't have ability to narrow it down to "when app is used only" is beyond me. It gives this weird feeling that you're just a bundle of a product and a consumer glued together to make few at the top rich.

It's funny because I believe that people would not mind sharing this kind of info if it gave the feeling of contributing to the community - to make the service better; to make the data available to researchers; to make it available to the user itself - i wouldn't mind to peek at data from last year to see how much of my life was wasted in transport, at work, how much time i spent in parks etc.

IMHO we'll need more and more openstreetmap/mozilla alikes. Modern AI had a good start but my fear is that's only because nobody was truly cashing on it yet, now you can feel it's closing more and more into black-boxes and benefits few black-box owners where data is flowing in.

I suppose that Kotlin outside of JVM has a similar problem to Swift outside an Apple platform. You lose a support for quite a lot of already existing libraries. Rewriting everything in Kotlin and Swift will take effort and by the time we'll get there not many will want to abandon their preferred ecosystem.
IPv6 isn't even part of telemetry per say, it's an IETF standard that can be used to connect with any server that supports it. Yes, some OS-level services require IPv6.

If you want to disable telemetry and you're on a supported Windows SKU for Group Policy, here's Microsoft's directions on what you can configure:

German insurance companies cover these too and I had them about six months before switching to Dexcom system. The NFC scanner provided is not accurate at all. The values are what they are and you can't calibrate them. Luckily if you own an Android phone with NFC reader you can use xDrip+ to scan the values and xDrip+ allows calibrations, so the measurements reflect your blood sugar much more accurately.

I'm having trouble with not feeling hypoglycemias and I'm having them quite often at night. Freestyle Libre by default doesn't automatically measure your glucose levels, but there is a hack with Sony Smartwatch 3, a strap and very custom and hacky android version which enables the NFC reader in Sony and you can get alarms to your phone on low glucose levels. It worked and saved me a couple of nights, but the Libre chips break easily and the system was kind of a drag to use in the end.

It is quite difficult to do that on iOS since the "hit box" of the slider is rather small. You need to exactly hit the little point or it won't register (if you are used to iOS's native sliders, they are quite unsual).

Your reply is filled with emotion and while prison time is an emotional matter, laws and rules must be based upon logic to be effective and good for society.

Crimimals serving prison time have violated the laws of society. They have a responsibility for this and they will indeed be marked for life, and rightly so. That doesn't mean that they should be restricted from any job, but it makes sense to limit their career options. You don't want a pedo in day care, a bank robber in banking, or a wife beater as a carpenter.

As for teaching inmates about mathematics, this is probably a good idea. Many inmates suffer from low education, which makes it hard for them to understand today's society. Mathematics is fine, but it will only be useful to a percent of the inmates. Most of them have other, more basic educational needs.

I'm into photography as a hobby since 10 years. I started movie making this year, it's harder than I thought to make everything right. The post production work is also more challenging than for still photography.

I would be interested if you had any good links to get started and progress? What camera did you use? I'm making a movie about some cities, but it's taking more time than I expected, for something far from the quality I had in mind :-)
I have another hypothesis, which is tangential to the hate speech, but rather relates to the low quality of internet information. I beleive that there is a lot of high quality content on the net, but it is hard to find. We're wading through pages and pages of low effort comments to find something that would be worth our time to read. Perhaps the problem there, is that google sucks. Google claims to organise the worlds information, but if they were actually doing so successfully, I'd almost never come across low quality content. Perhaps google needs to be more than just a search engine, perhaps chrome should actually offer the ability to filter out low quality content. Not really sure how that would work, would "reddit.com" render a blank page? But I think that it might be something like an agregator. Rather than visiting "reddit.com" you would visit "high quality memes and jokes filter" and you would get just that. And if google didn't suck, it would actually be high quality.

I'm not trying to hate on google. But everyone says that it is impossible to compete with google, because their product is perfect, that it would be impossible to make a better search engine. I don't think that's true. I think there is a lot of inovation that still can happen when it comes to sorting through the internet.
Just look at anything in the "moreutils" package. Just great stuff. Excerpt:

- ifdata: do not parse the output of ifconfig/ip anymore. Just use this tool.

- sponge: when you need to overwrite an input file at the end of pipe. sponge will wait for the pipe to end before overwriting, preventing any data loss

- vidir: edit a given dir with your EDITOR. Awesome for mass renames/deletes.

- ts: add timestamps to a command

- parallel: C implementation of GNU parallel (in perl). Very small, very fast, just does the core (running commands in parallel), and does not try to take over xargs.

There are others of course.

If you film yourself during sex that's one thing. If I film you during sex without your explicit consent that's a completely different thing.

> However, it is a no no to embed a cam in a pair of glasses. Building a mic into a speaker is not okay.

Building is not the problem, usage is. People don't complain about the new features but about the people who use them without consideration for others' privacy.

> I guess to have mics and cams in your car is fine as well.

No? Absolutely not. Neither is sending any data about my car to any other party (like manufacturer or insurance).

> I don't think it's about privacy, it seems to be about control. Where's the button on that thing!?

You are right if with "that thing" you refer to the user who is violating my privacy. Controlling my own devices is easy: The button is my wallet which simply does not open for devices that spy on me.

Ah the same old: "it's your fault if you're poor" argument. What's the next one, "poor life choices"?
I'm least offended by the door bell type devices. They are on the outside and offer no more information than someone could gain by snooping at my house from the street. The benefits of being able to pretend to be present at home when the doorbell is answered is significantly better security of my personal goods against casual burglary. The downside is someone could remotely harvest a profile and recordings of who enters and leaves my house, which can be viewed from the street and offers me no tangible loss of personal privacy over what someone who wanted to watch me could already do.
