Afaik RedHat pays their documentation engineers and QA engineers very well, since they consider those roles to be essential to the product from the customer's expectations. It's a perspective rarely shared by other companies though.
What is mythological about it?

Some of us have teams that split up different functions (i.e. front end/back end developers, DBAs) which makes one become more of a specialist on that which they spend the most time on.

Other work set ups entail the person doing it all by themselves, which makes them more of a generalist.

Just because you are working as a generalist doesn't mean you can't reconfigure yourself to become a specialist, and vice versa. It just depends on what you spend most your time on and how you divide up work between your team.
The game isn't out yet.
Yes, just imagine that a city tries to deal with being overrun. They don't hate the tourists, they try to stay as organized as they can.

There is such a thing as being too popular and the tourists converging on Barcelona are starting to make life for the people that live there harder and harder (rising rents, for once thing).

You'll be more than welcome in Barcelona, it's a fantastic place to visit though you'll have to count with insane waiting times at the various 'sights' that are on every tourists 'must see' list.

But try to play by the rules if you can.
Yes, it would be interesting to compare a modern nuclear reactor and a modern coal plant using the same evaluation criteria. Regulators have changed how both operate since the 1970s, even if the facilities were originally constructed earlier.

Maybe I should have phrased my original objection more strongly: the headline of this HN piece, the original headline in Scientific American, and many commenters writing here are unambiguously wrong about certain points. Coal ash is not more radioactive than waste from nuclear reactors. Ordinary commercial reactors, operating normally, emit far more curies of radioactive material than is present in the fly ash emitted from coal plants. The effective exposure of populations to radioactivity is however lower for reactors than for coal plants due to the differing chemical/biological characteristics of the different radionuclides emitted. That's pretty interesting! But that key point which produces the counterintuitive lower-effective-exposure result is completely lost in the SA article. Over the past decade I have mostly seen this Scientific American article used as a club to bash people who "just don't understand" nuclear power. It's a sad triumph of tribal affinity over comprehension.

Coal is certainly far worse than nuclear power when you broaden the criteria beyond radionuclide release. Most of the world's coal plants are still operating without state-of-the-art pollution controls for mercury, acid gases, and particulates. Even with modern emissions controls for acute pollution hazards, coal emits a lot of CO2 for each MWh generated. But the overall superior environmental and human health profile of nuclear power should not tempt people to spread falsehoods in its defense.
No, it doesn't. Go runtime can decide to spawn a new thread from the locked one. The new thread will inherit the characteristics (namespace, uid) of the old one. See https://github.com/docker/libnetwork/issues/1113 for more details.
As well-documented as GNU software is — and it is! remarkably so — I think the project loses even more points for foisting the atrocity that is gnu-info on everyone. That is some abysmally "You will do it the way I want you to, and like it!" software.

When I say `man foo`, do not suggest I look elsewhere, please.
Turn by turn directions are used sundays for Amazon. Gps in the scanner screams at the deliverer if the address is "far away" (eg 2.5 miles from location) like instead of 25 Hickory trail they are at 25 hickory lane or 25 highland st.

And still carriers get it wrong. Every Sunday.

Giving Wal-Mart the benefit of the doubt flies in the face of historical facts/data. Feel free to argue otherwise.

Don't worry. You'll be welcome. There are tons of tourists in the beach areas and these areas are slowly eating into the surrounding. That's where the tension comes because prices shoot up and regular people are squeezed out.

This is really neat! I've long had a curious but skeptical interest in UFOs and I've wanted to see someone do something serious like this.

This kind of approach is the only way we will get actual non-garbage data on this subject. Photos with no pedigree are worthless since anyone with a paint program can fake them. Regular cameras just aren't suited to taking pictures of distant moving objects (try photographing a bird with your phone). Eyewitness testimony is unreliable. People keep claiming to see anomalous things but without real evidence we can't draw any conclusions other than a big "hmm..."

Unfortunately the success of something like this is heavily dependent on the quality of the camera used. Web cams are not going to give you any detail and cheap CCDs are prone to certain kinds of imaging artifacts.

Even worse a lot of consumer hardware either compresses images right away or runs the image through algorithms to smooth, blend, edge-enhance, color-correct, etc. to correct for artifacts present in cheap CCDs. Your "high quality" tiny cell phone camera is actually a mediocre CCD combined with a ton of software to enhance images to make them pleasing to the human eye. For a scientific instrument this is the last thing you want. You want raw data straight from a high quality calibrated sensor.

It would also be worth looking into gigapixel imaging either via gigapixel CCDs or low-artifact compositing algorithms to produce gigapixel images from multiple lower resolution sensors. Here's a few interesting links:

These are going to be pricey but I'm there are enough people interested in this subject for a crowdfunding campaign.

Finally I'd prefer infrared. Due to the second law of thermodynamics anything using a lot of energy must reject waste heat, even if it's using some kind of yet-unknown or exotic means of propulsion. All the candidates I'm aware of for exotic propulsion would have enormous power requirements, lighting up like blinding spotlights in the infrared.

Yeah, I read your post once, then I kept trimming and rewording my post, and was left with that heap.

I shouldn't have made either of these posts.
I wasn't referring to the outage as much as the likelihood of outages and luggage mishaps along with the need my employee has for their laptop.
See the people catch up with jargon "Bitcoin is creating value" is very trendy righ now.

But I guess I should switch my wallet to micropup as it's creating even more value and it's totally carbon indexed.
Of course it's a better deal for Walmart. This is Walmarts thing to do or not do. They're the biggest party in the negotiation. They will always dictate terms that benefit them at their workers expense. It's negotiation 101.
You're right, and you bring up a good point. Almost nothing is free, and there is always a cost. So it makes sense that ads started coming into the web in the beginning, so that people might click them and people who hosted the content might get money that way. However, nowadays, that's not enough. There's usually more than just one ad.

Obviously my comment was the "cynical" view, and looked at a future that may not even come to fruition. There are some benefits too. However, I think that I would prefer that the web be supported in different ways. I haven't thought long and hard about the "best way", but it makes me think of websites that limit how many times you can view their content. Take the New York Times for example. If I remember correctly, they let you view ~10 articles or something, and then from there, you have to pay to see more. That could be a potential way to keep content supported? Let the websites choose themselves how they want to monetize content. Maybe that's better than Google holding accounts for anyone who wants to access the ad free web? I'm not sure what the best solution is.

In the fantasy future I mentioned in the first comment, I could see there being a pay-to-entry model for the web, if the ad free and ad versions of the web started separating and they just "killed" off ads. Then, to access the web in the first place, payment would be required, and would have to be refilled.

This is one reason I love HN - discussions get me thinking. I appreciate your comment, and you're right. All content just can't be free. I guess I just don't like the possibility of the web turning into a pay-to-view model. I'd rather let the sites choose individually, that way, no one has control over it all. But yeah.
Fortunately Walmart's law firm has answers to all of those questions. And every one of them favors Walmart, because that's their job.

Yet there is a world of a difference between Walmart jobs and Costco jobs. Unemployment in the US is lower than some countries with better worker's rights.

> If people's regular jobs paid a "living wage", people wouldn't have to Uber, but it's how the world works

No, not the world, mostly just the US. For the rest of the world, the line between employment and unemployment is not so bad that you have people with full-time jobs and still need food stamps. I feel that setup is a covert government subsidy to corporates. But hey, we shouldn't mess with the "job-creaters", right? Or else.

StackShare | Full-time | REMOTE OK (U.S. only)

We’re on a mission to create the best place for engineers to figure out how to piece together their tech stack. Our vision is to transform the way that all SaaS tools and infrastructure are bought and sold.

We've recently launched a new product called Stack News which you may have seen here on HN: https://stackshare.io/news.

We're looking for an experienced front-end focused engineer that's passionate about dev tools:
https://angel.co/stackshare/jobs/186787-front-end-react-soft.... Must be familiar with both React and Rails.

We're a small distributed team of 4, spread out across the US. Our Stack: Ruby/Rails/React/PostgreSQL https://stackshare.io/stackshare.

How we work:

Every engineer owns and is responsible for the products they build (e.g. Stack News). Before writing any code, the engineer tagged to the product writes a blog post announcing it to the StackShare community. From there, they spec out the product in detail and get feedback from at least one other engineer. Once the initial version of the product is built they ship it to a small group of beta testers, gather feedback, and iterate. Once the product has shipped to production, this engineer is then responsible for monitoring the metrics that matter for this product and iterating to improve it.

Interview process:

Phone screen -> technical interview -> code project -> product interview -> final interview -> offer letter!

Well, no. If they could, they wouldn't be receiving assistance.

Seems to me if vector::push_back fails you are already deep into memory problems. I may put a global catch around most code to avoid crashes but I think once push_back fails, a lot of other stuff won't work either.
The definition of "Hateful Content" (one of the three categories of "Hate Speech" that YouTube defines) strikes me as quite broad. I wonder how this will be applied in the following circumstances:

1) Disparagement of majority-race individual for being insensitive or lacking understanding of racial issues. For example: "celebrity X needs to check his white privilege. He clearly doesn't understand the struggles of black and brown people and his opinion on police shootings is therefore irrelevant"

2) Disparagement of majority-religion individuals for their beliefs around LGBTQ issues. For example: "We should boycott Chick Fil A because the owner is a homophobic right-wing bible-thumper who donates his profits to anti-LGBTQ organizations."

3: Disparagement based on age. For example: "The voting age should not be lowered because young people lack life experience necessary to make informed decisions"

Each of these statements disparages a person or group of people based on one of YouTube's protected classes. But many people would argue that they are very different from statements like "America has too many Muslims" or "Mexicans are lazy." Would YouTube treat these statements the same? According to their policy, would they have grounds for treating them differently?
Why do you need a user_id in todo_items

The primary key of the todo_lists table is "PRIMARY KEY (user_id, list_id)".

So the foreign key in todo_items should be (user_id, list_id), and it is.

"If users have the same list ID..." Why would they?

User 1 has a list 1, and User 2 has a list 1. Just as if User 1 had a list 'grocery', and User 2 had a list 'grocery'.
You're confusing legality with ethics and morality. You can behave can quite unethically and immorally while still meeting or exceeding legal requirements.
I have to laugh at GitHub coming to this conclusion. About 80% of the time when I follow a link to GitHub, there's a list of files and absolutely no explanation of what the project is or why one would be interested in downloading or contributing to it. Sometimes there's a link to something called "markup" or "markdown" that sometimes has a short description that vaguely describes the project. But that's often missing or cryptic, too.
There are laws about what companies can do. And using a dominant market position in one market to help them in other markets can be an anti-trust violation (see Microsoft and the browser wars).
Which I agree with. Airbnb is great when it's not run for profit. People purchasing second homes to rent out are ruining nice places.
It's more than fine to be enthusiastic about programming languages. However, some of your points about Go are dubious.

The reasons Go doesn't (yet) have generics are practical rather than philosophical. And well-documented.

I also don't believe Google's marketing budget contributed much if anything to supporting Go. The _reputation_ of Google and the Go authors was far more important. (Personally, when I saw people like Brad Fitzpatrick try Go and rave about it making programming fun again, I decided to try it.)

You can happily accuse me of shilling Go if you like :-)
I've only heard good things about Costco. I wouldn't give Costco the benefit of the doubt. Every company (except nonprofits) exists to accrue profit. There's no other factor. They do not have any interest in mind than profit. I definitely assume the worst from Walmart.
As a counter-anecdote, about half a year ago a a self-described 'Alt Right Trump supporter' posted, and I posted a comment asking him about his beliefs, since I had only heard people hating on 'Alt Right' from my own sources, and was curious why he believed what the believed. You can see it here:

So not everyone here tries to silence alternate viewpoints, at least.

Having ~60 times as many blocks / hour means you can potentially secure transactions vastly faster using Ethereum’s even if the total number of transactions does not change. So, even if nothing else changes this really is a significant advantage.

Now, they are hitting scaling issues. But it will be interesting to see if they are more responsive.
> as long as it made sense financially

This is not likely. Highly recommend the part about being a Walmart employee in the book "Nickel and Dimed". As another commenter wrote, these guys are just offloading benefits and depreciation and other capital costs on employees who are already living in poverty. These guys are most literally evil.
>so that it will keep him motivated?

You says he is interested. Then he won't lose motivation. Even if it does, it will keep coming back to him. With the help of the Internet, he will figure things out on his on.

As a starter, maybe give him something like this https://processing.org/download/

He can start making 2d and simple 3d stuff with it quite easily.

If my options were Amazon or roll my own, using Amazon would both

1) Decrease complexity, and

2) Add more security.

This is supposing I am not a security expert and that Amazon has a good implementation.

It's still a pretty good option.

I remember one time negotiating an offer with StartupXYZ and they claimed a bunch of things about their stock options (company valuation, overall stock package value, etc). When I asked them various questions about the options, in particular the total amount of shares available, about class, etc, they told me "we can't share that information".

>Some try to take the lazy way out by going the "I'll let the users create the docs on a Wiki" route. See, for example, the Freeswitch (VoIP server) documentation for just how bad this can be.

It's terrible. Leads to tons of random settings all over and cargo-culting adding of variables until something happens to work. It's not uncommon for me to find a "documented" variable in the wiki then search the source and not find that string.

There's also an attitude of "we wrote the code, be happy for that, and maybe you should figure it out and document it hmm?" Which is totally their right - they did a lot of work for free and people have made tons of money off of it. But it's not a really practical attitude for good docs.

I'm guilty of it myself - for mod_managed I wrote some basic docs to get it off the ground but haven't kept them up to date or provided more details.

Missed Startup 83(b) election filing I'm Stuck :(
Hi Champs.

Now that I have used Clerky 2 months ago to incorporate a new startup in Delaware, I had no idea at all about the consequences of not filing the 803(b) elections form to IRS before the 30 days deadline!
I have checked and seems there is no way back! either i dissolve the company and incorporate a new one, or I have to pay lots of taxes in the future if, hopefully, the company succeeded and the stock value increased.

The process to dissolve and incorporate a new company takes time and I'm very busy with the activities of my startup right now. What would you do if you were in my shoes? Any workarounds? anyway to file this form after a year time for example?
Thanks.
If you get seriously sick 3X (5 time even) that amount won't save you. But as things stand now you'd have free(ish) healthcare anyway.
