> As you get older, you have time to see others experience pain and also play through enough hypothetical scenarios that you can find meaning in your own suffering. This, I believe, is one of the secrets to being happy. It is why we often hear stories of resilient cancer survivors and mountaineers who never gave up. Finding purpose and meaning in your suffering is what makes it bearable.

I think this is what the McAdams is describing when he speaks about "redemption stories".
My initial impression as an indie developer is that this new design has a way lower apps-per-screen density and seems to be even more heavily focused on promoting bigger developers.

Hopefully time will prove that it still works well for discovering indie apps.
It is extremely common for something like "women-friendly policies" to be code for "we talk a good game, so shut the fuck up and quit making us look bad, you whiny bitch."

I do not have a tech job, but I have taken classes on things like social psychology. Attempts to address sexism, racism, etc often suffers from a problem of tokenism. This is not just the problem described in Dedeh Howard's "Black Mirror" of "We already have one black model on staff, so there is no room for you" but also just looking good superficial BS that amounts to metaphorically including pink decor, but not actually promoting women or taking them seriously.

At some point, I saw an article on HN by a woman who wrote that, no, she will not show up at your thing and be the woman talking about women in tech. It isn't her area of expertise. If you want her there to talk about the actual tech she actually knows something about, she is happy to sign up for that. But, no, she won't give speeches on women in tech. This is a widespread form of tokenism where women in tech only get invited to talk about the issues women in tech face for being women in tech while never being invited to actually talk about tech per se. It is hugely soul sucking and suffers from the problem of being belittling and demeaning in a way that makes it hard to rebut or complain about.
That's the thing, I live in the far suburbs, like 40 minutes or more from downtown. The complex I just moved from was built in the middle of a field. If you drove passed the complex, in less than two miles the road goes to single lane road that hasn't been repaved in easily 20 years.
Can this be considered an "update" at all? I had naively hoped that the updated MBA would finally be an affordable mac notebook that is up to date, but apparently the
MBP at $1299 (even more here in Germany) is the most "affordable" option that can be taken seriously.
I'd also like to add that LA county has the highest number of illegal immigrants in the country, with and estimate of 1.1 million. That is surely exacerbating the housing situation. This also likely exacerbates low salary problems too.
Oh no, they didn't say this did they?

I recently saw Ken Bone tweet "Savage" in a serious context. It's funny how fast 'youth'/'urban' culture is being swallowed up by mainstream typically out-of-touch demographics.

But I guess it's all part of this obsession with authenticity recently. This puts a lot of pressure on the youth to adapt quickly and develop new slang.

Not sure I feel comfortable with this development though. I'd rather be okay with big corporate marketing firms not being lame by using old slang, focusing on interesting but neutral copy, rather than them constantly keeping up with the latest slang and memes to seem in touch with 'millennials'.

They should know how defeating this feels to people 'in the know' aka people who pioneer what is cool.
> this assumes a male boss

The second question further assumes that the boss is in a heterosexual relationship...
wow, the latimes site is just unusable. endless popups, scrolling is seemingly broken, ugh.
Would kill for a Google Image Search extension that forwards my browser to the original source page rather than the Pinterest landing page. Any recommendations?
In a similar vein, years ago I designed a "digital extension cable" that communicated by modem. The point of the device was to replicate the state of 4 inputs at a water pump station to a remote monitoring site a few miles away. The box I built scanned the inputs about once per second, and if there was a state change, called the remote site over a leased phone line where an identical box had 4 outputs that replicated the state.

It turned out to be much faster to make the call at 1,200 bps than at the 57.6kbps max speed of the modem.

At the high baud rates, the time the modems took just to negotiate the connection and agree on a speed (about 5-10 seconds) was far longer than it took to transmit the few bytes of data at 1,200 bps and disconnect (well under 1 second). At 1200 bps, there was no negotiation: the communication is based on FSK at fixed frequencies.

One of those weird things I mentally filed away a long time ago :-)

> Anything that requires creativity to make is art.

I strongly disagree with this statement, in the context of the definition of "art" that Ebert was using. His definition also excludes the vast majority of movies, paintings, and other things that are generally acknowledged as "art". Ebert was talking about sublime art. It's easy for something to be creative without being sublime.
My contention was that Safari is less safe than Chrome, not that Safari's sandbox was in particular worse than Chrome's. Nevertheless, on balance, Safari's sandbox is significantly worse than Chrome's. I think --- but you'd know better than I would --- that this is because browser security is a platform problem for Apple, and an application problem at Google. Apple's platform-level mitigations are very powerful on iOS, but substantially less powerful on general-purpose operating systems. Chrome's sandboxing is specific to Chrome itself, and thus finer grained and more powerful.

I think if you create a breakdown of all the facets of browser security, it will look something like this:

Isolation: Chrome > Edge | Safari > Firefox

Anti-Exploit: Edge > Chrome > Firefox > Safari

UX: Chrome > Firefox > Safari > Edge (U2F, password manager)

TLS: Chrome > Firefox > Safari | Edge

Library Security: Chrome > Edge > Firefox > Safari

If you want to add privacy controls here, you'll get an easy win for Safari, but privacy isn't security.

You're close to this stuff though, so if you disagree with any of these informal rankings, or think I've got the rankings wrong, please correct me.
It was you "WittyThumbs" because I think they'd put it to better use but I'm open to having someone else start it back up.
This makes me wonder how many times, when people say 'I read/remember a study...', they actually read the study itself, and not some second-hand analysis (or, a story which masquerades as second-hand analysis). I think 'I remember a study' should be an anti-pattern for careful conversation.
It's different because minorities can't choose to not be minorities any more. Racists can choose to not be racist--at least in public (or in 'private' chat groups which, let's face it, are leaky sieves).
> This isn't an Apple developed codec.

I didn't say it was, I said Apple was pursuing it.

You can't claim that yet as AV1 isn't yet finalized.
Correction: There are 27.4M domains on new gTLDs registered; full stats here: https://ntldstats.com/tld

The total economic cost of yanking all of those from the existing established sites would easily run into the billions of dollars. Those domain names are on business cards, on sides of vans, on buildings, on advertising, etc. Untold amounts of money have already been spent building up reputations for sites on these new gTLDs, much of which would be lost if the domain name were yanked. The economic damage would be massive. And of course all existing links in press, blogs, social media, etc., would all die. That's why it won't ever happen.
As a Canadian I find it disturbing that foreign governments engage in these types of actions to affect the outcomes of elections but do find it a bit hypocritical that the US is getting so upset about it, when IMHO the US three letter agencies have been involved in regime change and political tampering for decades. It kind of seems like yall got of taste of your own medicine.
Some screen protectors add a bit of grip, so it feels more like paper and less like glass under the pen.
I imagine the gas flows in circles as if the poles were always perpendicular to the line between the star and the planet's center.

In other words, the gas on the dark side stays on the dark side, and vice versa, roughly.
Given how few women there are in tech, you can be extremely unlikely to have seen it and a woman can be very likely to have experienced it, both at the same time.
If 99.99% of made transactions are not malicious in nature why should people who made those transactions suffer? There are other means to detect suspects that don’t ask for a cost of a privacy of the nation.

On the whole other point of this don’t you think there’s a chance to the possibility that certain terror/cyber attacks were made by some intelligence agency? Timing on this is too convenient.

Besides, there is no known method that can resolve all types of cryptographic methods thus it makes it useless spending of taxpayers’ money.
I think that emphasis on passion during interview suggest culture that takes tech more like identity affair then pragmatic one. It probably means a lot of overtime because people signal passion by staying late and planning/negotiation are cold. It means choosing cool tech instead of good tech. It means a lot of semi mandatory out of work activities.

This has nothing to do with gender, but one might prefer something different.
i see literally no difference between all of these. i've stared and flipped through them for a minute.
I am not familiar enough with NFC, would this allow standard NFC payments through apps OTHER then apple pay?

I know Apple has been getting some pressure (regulatory) about banks not being able to use their own apps and having to pay for Apple Pay.
Okay, but what you've shown is that you can build a cheaper system with cheaper not-so-top-of-the-line components. Well, sure. You can also buy a cheaper iMac.
One side of the planet is always facing its star. And I presume the gas swirling is on a much shorter/slower scale than the planet's rotation, so the notion of a side is meaningful.

Do you know less than 10 developers or something? Do you code for Microsoft? Do you live in a country where its nearly impossible to get apple products?
Do you write software using your iPad Pro? I've thought about using one with an AWS instance for modeling/prototyping, but it doesn't seem like we're there yet.
I also thought this was pretty rich. First broadly attack Google's income, then complain about discrimination when Google ranks your paywalled content lower.

Though I trust Google to make a decision based on user satisfaction, not unrelated meta-politics like this: Any website with a paywall should (and probably is) painted with the same brush. WSJ would benefit from pushing the angle that "Google punished us for doing critical journalism".
What has worked for you in the past? Or have you been able to improve things at places you've worked?
I've given up finding that great company culture. Bro cultures, and yes even female jealousy, but the dealbreaker for me is work inflexibility. I get utterly exhausted working in open office environments, and I swing from absolutely crap in small talk to excitable gushing about last night's TV (that nobody watches.) People apparently don't like randomised personalities! I figured that the life of a salaryperson may just be wrong for me...

Now I split my time 30:30:30 on contracting, developing my edtech baby and reading/ art/ learning. The 10% is allocated for family and the blue days.

At the risk of misleading others, please remember that every person has a unique pattern. It seems a lot like retiring but believe me it's not haha. I have to work extra hard in finding and maintaining my contracts, just so I can support my edtech project with enough cash and time.

And, although flexibility is what I was looking for, it's very easy to become idle. In the first few months, I struggled - but this I suppose is a much needed exercise in taming my short attention span (!) It's still too early to tell - it's been ten months now - but as an individual, learner and founder, I think I'm happier and made far more progress than before. And at last my baby is growing! ;)

Hmm. So I ran away rather than deal with toxic/ mediocre environments ... but perhaps this is the best!
Yes, I have. I installed it 2 weeks before it was released to the public as part of the Windows Insider program and then again on several machines after release and, most recently, in the Creator's Update. Until there was a huge backlash against MS, all of those things were opt-out and turned on by default, including Cortana and the ink features. Apple does not turn any of these on by default, nor have they ever, and you have to opt-in to those features to use them.

Spotlight and Safari send anonymous data back that is parsed and separated so that it can't be used to identify the machine, user, or account that they came from. That's wildly different from the MS approach even after all the changes made on MS's end.
I never bothered, because 1. PIL appeared to be stagnant, 2. without being part of the community I could easily make breaking changes since I judged the existing behavior to be incorrect, and 3. I had other things to do. I have seriously considered going back to see if there's anything I could contribute - I haven't looked at it in years, and it would take a while to identify the code I had looked at before.

Both, Kantu and Sikuli use image recognition with screenshots to find the elements, not Xpath/CSS-selectors.
A reasoned response is a red flag?
... According to you. You don't get to police or interpret how anyone else thinks.

Maybe "repeat it often enough and it will be true" applies to you, but you don't get to project your thought processes onto others.
Hopefully this will allow NFC tap for airplane boarding passes instead of those awful screen scanners, as one example.
Google Brain Residency
The question is a bit complex than a simple reading of these files. Mac OS sandboxing allows dynamic extension of the sandbox, which would not be reflected in the profile (I'd bet Safari does more of this than Blink though). Also, as you mentioned, it's relevant to look at what's factored into separate processes, and how those processes are sandboxed. Safari's Network process has been networked since 2013, so I don't think you can count Chrome's ongoing work to do so as a Chrome advantage.

If you add these things up, the difference in practical effectiveness is not as wide as one might think.
Is there something that keeps row houses from being built instead of townhouses?
iOS does not have a swap space. The closest you get is persistent app data that can be reloaded and discarded. As far as app development goes, you need to be very conscious of RAM usage.
I try a lot of stuff. I'm on my fourth iPad, second Surface Pro, my third Macbook Pro, my fourth ThinkPad. I have also had a Newton, Palm Pilot (various), Handspring, Nook (ebook), and Android tablets (most interesting being a 13" one from Lenovo with a built in projector)

I use the Verizon LTE network on my iPad pro all the time. When I'm on the train, when I'm travelling hither and yon. I don't browse/read/search on my phone (which I use for actually calling and texting people). Not saying that I represent a typical consumer but I certainly represent at least a cohort of 1 consumers :-).

I had a MiFi for a while (company purchased), but found it consistently had lower performance then the native networking of my iPad and it was easy to lose if I wasn't paying attention. Twice I encountered times when it wasn't charged when I needed it. On analyzing it overall I found that because it wasn't forced to be charged when I charged my laptop/tablet, it suffered from sometimes being missed when it needed to be charged. That the radio is by definition charged when the iPad is charged avoids that failure mode for me.

When travelling with my SPro4 I would sometimes 'hot spot' it to my tablet. Awkward but it works. In the inversion that I still marvel about the software availability on the iPad has always been better than the availability of software on the SPro4.

The SPro4 has a better (to my taste) drawing experience than the iPad Pro does. And both the iPad Pro and SPro4 are way better than previous stylus attempts on capacitive screens.

The iPad has a much better 'tablet only' experience for me, and a much worse 'docked' experience. SPro4 with a Surface Dock and a couple of UHD monitors is literally indistinguishable from the NUC i7 box I use as a desktop. There is nothing (yet) that I can attach to my iPad Pro to make it work like a Macbook Pro (I know I know, different OS, processor etc.)

As a result I create more in general on my SPro4, consume more on my iPad Pro. I travel with my iPad in my hand and my SPro in my backpack.

Clearly I have been unable to leave one behind and just use the other so there is some more convergence to go :-)
The LTE is faster because your ISP is a douche. It is insane to ever, ever think transmission over airwaves can rival same-day wired capacity. They're just assholes.
How can you say that when Windows 10 had Cortana turned on by default? Siri is not enabled by default on a Mac (just like all the other services) and you have to purposely choose to have them turned on during install.

Meanwhile Apple is tracking users 24/7.

There is no option to turn off phoning home to Apple in Apple's pre-installed operating systems. Every user of iOS is constantly pinging Apple servers all day every day.

Connect an iOS device to the internet and watch the network. The user is given no control over this. All users are assumed to need Apple's help setting the system time.

The networking functionality of NeXT/Apple's operating systems is based on open source BSD operating system code.

But BSD does not phone home to some organization when you install it. Why not? Surely Apple's approach is the best one for all users, right?

It is amusing to watch these companies proclaim they will block others from tracking and serving ads while continuing to siphon user data themselves, often in ways that are all but transparent to users. Apple can block everyone else, then I can block Apple. OK by me.

Someone in this thread made some comment about Microsoft Edge not tracking users. Do people seriously believe nonsense like that? MS was dumping debug output via DrWatson to the network long before collecting user data for profit was even a strategy.

Connect a Windows computer to the internet and watch the network. All on by default. Unlike Apple, they have no prepared explanation/justification why they need to do this.

And even if they did, who cares? Users prefer not to be tracked. Companies are admitting they know this.

Users could opt-in to tracking if they believed they were getting some benefit.

But that is not how this game works. There is no "opt-in". It is on by default. There was no intention to make tracking a "choice".

Probably because companies know what the choice of users would be and it would not be favorable to the company.

But that is not something we are allowed to discuss.
That is a step that tends towards a walled-in closed Internet...
It's in the fake text message conversation, with the break-dancing fellow.
>I'm starting to think that there's something more insidious going on with an almost aggressively enforced "open office" culture in high tech.

Hanlon's razor is useful here. The most likely reason for open offices isn't because of discrimination; it's simply cheaper to pack everyone in a single room than to give everyone a space of their own.
I'd assume it loses material quite faster than a spinning one.

I have a high opinion of the Surface Pro, hardware wise, and I have been considering getting one. But the things Microsoft has done to Windows 10 regarding mandatory updates and telemetry are leaving me leery of it.
Yes, well there are two things to be said:

1. The data entry problem always applies. Unless the data is already entered somewhere in a "canonical" form, it has to be entered again.

2. If the solution is to try to offload the work of data entry to the companies themselves, then google docs and airtable already present a solution since they offer an interface for that.
Nope. Value and cost can be completely different. The gap is often called "consumer surplus", though of course the consumer may be an employer. And since the labour market has more competition that almost any other, the gap can be quite wide.
If I read you correctly you're essentially suggesting that someone living in a low-cost of living area isn't paying enough for the shipped products they receive by way of major transport hubs?

I'd argue that's slightly evened out by prices that don't fluctuate as much by location. ex: In my midwest city I own a 3br 1500 sqft house that cost 190k and my wife and I gross over 160k. In an SV or Seattle type area we could be double the income and 10x or more for same house so it seems like we're getting a sweet deal right? But plane tickets, automobiles, many smaller consumables, anything you can buy on amazon, higher priced hobby items (phones, road bike, etc), are relatively inelastic to location. So we pay a larger share of our income than if we lived in a high-income area. To a certain extent, fuel as well. I regularly travel to chicago, seattle, and intermittently to LA area and gas prices are only marginally higher than in my low tax red state. While not so static, the cost is a bit baked in there as it's a larger proportion of my income to fuel my car.

That said, I'd have to put real numbers into this to see if my counter argument holds. You may be right that we underpay at a macro level and have some arbitrage. Your message just seemed to suggest it was obvious which I don't think is the case.
Both are more constrained by man than nature. SF could build up and up and up. It's not zoned for that. Practical limit is 10 stories where housing is. Could be changed, the argument is that SF would not be SF any more. It always makes me tear up when I hear that, tiny violin and all.
I think it is a reasonably fair generalization. A bit hyperbolic to make a point, but given that, I'd call it reflective of my experience here. And I say that as a guy.

Every time I see a topic like this come up here I flinch, because I know there will be a lot of garbage, and quite often the garbage will predominate. I know you've been working on that, and I appreciate it. I hope we get there. But we're far from there yet.
