> Equity compensation attracts employees with that mindset. Conversely, if a potential employee would prefer all cash compensation to equity, that would be a big red flag to me.

But that says a lot more about you than it does about them. Everyone is different and judging from this thread, many believe equity is bullshit for reasons unrelated to their work ethic or team spiritedness.
At least the SPA frameworks themselves have a reasonably common legitimate use. The tooling around them is the major problem. Most projects I've worked on, even complex ones, could comfortably trim from 100 dependencies down to 10 and have the developers working on them be an order of magnitude more productive.

People wilfully wrestle with thousands of functions worth of APIs every day and don't even notice the immense slowdown it's causing them. It's especially bad in React land, which is ironic seeing as Sebastian Markbage at Facebook has an excellent talk about reducing API surface area.

>> the circumstances described in the do appear to show sexism

> Why is it not sexism?

I feel like maybe you didn't actually read what I said, since what I said was that it did appear to show sexism.

The first paragraph of my response was addressing the person that said (effectively) that you should never disagree with a feminist about what is or isn't sexism (which is what I disagreed with).
I think the suggestion is that MIT has more than enough money (and access to money) and there are less well-funded institutions and causes where $140M might move the needle more significantly.

The US government can't even get wifi in half their spaces and thinks 400 MB/s is plenty of bandwidth for a major hospital (hint: that doesn't even cover the contractually required reserves for all the contracted imaging systems). I'll never see this in my current job. We'll be speaking Chinese before that happens.

Not quite but I know of one high level exec at a company you're familiar with that was given a year after multiple warnings.

Effectively, he had no job but was still on the payroll for a year and maintained his equity. He came in and did virtually nothing for about 6 months and then stopped.

It's a cushy gig but by the time you get it it's a punishment not a reward.
The best way to not bring all that emotion home is not to have it in the first place.

Anger is caused by frustration is caused by desire.

People who dont give a damn about their jobs clock out at 4:56 and rest easy. The people who burn out or 'snap' are the ones whom take the most pride in their work. Learn to care less about your job.

If you already have the emotions built up, then simply recognize that fact and take them apart. Writing letters you dont send works pretty well.

Unless you are in one of a handful of professions, your work is nothing that warrants this amount of stress. No one is going to die.

There's tons of things that happen at an employer that are wrong, and that are stupid and that are complete nonsense.

There are things that you must simply let slide. Things that truly do not matter. Very few things REALLY matter. Very few things, and none of those things are the day-to-day work life.

Speak to a therapist regularly for a few years. One that specializes in trauma survivors.
This depends on your uses. As a programmer, I mostly just draw. But I'm a fan of the projector onto a whiteboard setup so I can pull up a spec document and draw on top of existing (and more accurate or complete) diagrams. For disciplines with lots of visual data the actual images would be nicer than loose approximations.

Yes I believe this is correct. When they do get it working on land (http://www.henselphelps.com/projects/electro-magnetic-aircra...) it will very likely deviate so far from the original assumptions incorporated into the design of the carrier that huge retrofits will need to be made to the carrier to apply the changes.

Either they will do that, or simply cut corners and fail to report it accurately. This will fly under the radar until some tragedy. But the root cause of that will likely be covered up too.
Interesting use of overbooked flights as an example. If I book a flight I better get my seat. And if I don't get it because the airline over-provisioned, I don't really care about statistically even chances of getting kicked off the airline, especially when the Doctor ends up on YouTube getting his face bashed in while screaming, getting dragged off the flight because he wasn't an obedient little citizen. My bigger concern is why they're still overbooking seats. STOP OVERBOOKING SEATS. Oh there's a federal minimum reimbursement? That's great. But what if it's not enough for the inconvenience? The government just gave the airline permission to pay me that little and the right to then tell me to fuck off. And if I don't, armed government agents enforce the airline's screw up.

>> The ISP decided to make a contract with you that they would provide you with an n Mb/s pipe.

No, they made a contract with me that they would, on average provide me with an n Mb/s pipe and 6 pages of reasons why it's not their fault if at any point in time that doesn't happen.

>> But much more importantly, shouldn't it be the responsibility of the ISP to build a network that doesn't normally get saturated?

Oh I agree - that's way more important. I'd love it if they could make strong guarantees in that regard. And THAT is a problem I'd like to see the FCC spend more time on than net neutrality. But it's not trivial because it's not just "giving me a pipe". It's giving my a pipe only some of the way and interacting with other pipes (and with the FCC's net neutrality rules, what appears to me to be a poor definition of what a "lawful" destination for the pipe is). Compared to that problem, I just don't see why net neutrality is being treated as the final battlefield for a free and open Internet by everybody. If it came with provisions that guarantee lines aren't oversubscribed and cleared up the wording on lawful destinations, I'd be a lot more for it.
We eyeball, compare and copy/paste git commit IDs all the time, and they're longer than UUIDs. I don't see any problem with it as long as there's good tooling to help us interact with these IDs (e.g. git allows us to use the first few characters of a commit ID if there's no collision).

While you can import pictures as mentioned, the overall experience seems to be much more. The primary focus seems to be to encourage collaboration and thus increase productivity in a geographically dispersed team. This aspect seems the most attractive from my perspective as a remote employee. Imagine a client meeting where you'd be able to directly annotate client feedback and improve the feedback cycle by making realtime changes that can be synchronized across multiple devices. We already use Google Docs and Sheets heavily in my environment for the collaboration aspect so this just seems to take it one step further by providing another outlet.

Well according to many people birds today are dinosaurs. (they are indisputably members of "Dinosauria")

But as with pretty much everything, there would have been a long period where they were on the border of being birds. Categories in biology always have blurry boundaries. And those boundaries will of course adjust as we get more fossils and other information.
Er, do you really think they "grokked" it immediately? Does anyone truly grok anything, especially in programming, immediately?

I really wanna like it, but I'm honestly really scared to invest both professionally and emotionally in new Google products. I feel like I've learned that fire is hot and that I shouldn't count on any new Google product lest I find myself in a fit of despair as I look for alternatives in a few years.

Am I just being overly cynical?
"I'm not convinced that this outweighs the benefits of funding hundreds, or even thousands of students/scientists in less prominent schools who might go on to make such discoveries themselves"

While it's plausible anyone can discover anything, the only rule of thumb about finding great research is that great researchers generally train great researchers - or, to put another way, it's likeliest to end up doing nobel price worthy research by being trained by a nobel price winner.

The other thing is bad schools do not turn magically into good schools by pooling money into them. Improving education requires human intervention by experts - experienced teachers and so on. Money helps, but if you are sitting on a 140 million dollars, you can't just donate it to some struggling place and imagine it will transform it to a better institution. Or, pick random ten laboratories that have done unremarkable research and imagine a grant of a 10 million dollars will improve the quality of their output.

I think the only rational choices to well spend such a sum of money is to support established high performers, or, to proactively invest the money. If proactive involvement is not what the donor wanted then I can't really fault his decision to go with MIT. Or, well, if we follow the silly "nobel price winners beget nobel price winners" rule of thumb and use nobel prices as metric of research quality which itself is also silly, there would have been other options: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nobel_laureates_by_uni...

> "birds" are essentially defined as the set of theropod species that survived the K-T extinction

The problem with that is that this bird would not be considered a bird, since it didn't survive the K-T extinction. It is considered a bird because it is bird-like enough. (and the concept of "bird" is a man-made category...and there would be a lot of blurriness if you look at species that lived at the same time as (other) dinosaurs.

> there is no way people who live >100 miles from an urban center would EVER think about buying an electric car because of range anxiety

Counter point, my wife's family owns a farm roughly 80 miles from any sort of 'urban center' (and 300+ miles from the big city).

They were first in line for the Nissan Leaf, and had to make special arrangements to have it delivered. They love it for driving into their nearby small town, and they cannot wait to replace their other cars with electrics. (Sadly, there are not electric farm trucks yet.)
just under $8k for the small (55" diagonal) version. around $22k for the large (82"), from memory.

They don't come with anything to mount onto, so if you want it on a wall, you have to buy the mount kit. MS conveniently sells them. If you want it on wheels, you have to buy that mount kit. MS sells that, too. The 82" version isn't supported on the rolling mount, I believe.
I think you're getting confused here.

There is no opting everyone in by default for location on iOS. They have to explicitly opt themselves in, if they want to. Otherwise they are opted out by default. This goes for all apps and is enforced by Apple in order to maintain a good experience for the user.

I'm surprised that only one person here has mentioned campaign finance as the true issue here -- and they were downvoted.

As horsecaptin noted on this thread, "No one is going to lose an election for not supporting net-neutrality."

They do stand to lose serious campaign funding, however. Congressmen and Senators spend a majority of their time raising funds for their campaigns. If it weren't so important to them, they wouldn't. House representatives -- incumbents, no less -- need to raise about $20,000 a week to hold onto their positions, and Senators about $10,000.

In 2014, the top four cable providers spent twice as much on campaign "donations" than the top five pharmaceutical companies. I'm not sure about 2016 but imagine it was similar.

What surprises me, though, is how little attention is given to caucuses in the US presidential primaries. The turnout is very low and they're subject to strong arming and party insider corruption in both major parties.
I'm actually so with you on a lot of this. The inability to use Pythonisms with Pandas is insane and I had to do a data analysis where I really, genuinely needed to do some looping and some simple map/reduce and it almost drove me insane.

You might like [Agate](http://agate.readthedocs.io/) better.

I haven't done a ton of Jupyter in the newsroom yet, but what I've found myself doing is abstracting out the stuff I want to do in normal Python into one or more utility modules and having those return dataframes into my notebook. That way I can mostly write normal Python but have access to some of the nicer pandas features and get to do more exploratory work.

I don't mind that matplotlib is kind of awful -- that data viz would never go in a published piece in any event. I just want some hints as to what I or more likely a teammate would build in D3 around the specifics of the data.
"I have no idea why Lisp doesn't let you call functions like
foo(1 2 3)

...If it looks confusing, don't write it that way. Just like every other language feature."

I used a similar ethos to create a whitespace-sensitive lisp with infix operators without compromising macros. The rule for whitespace-sensitivity was: if whitespace sensitivity was even slightly ambiguous, you lost it. Inside parens you lost it. Inside macros, you lost it. But it was still useful in a wide variety of situations: https://github.com/akkartik/wart/blob/master/004optional_par...

However, when it came to foo(1 2 3) I ended up just saying no. It has absolutely no benefit except being familiar to non-lispers (where whitespace sensitivity actually makes Lisp easier to read for anyone outside an editor). Particularly if you permit infix, (foo 1 2) and (1 + 2) have a nice correspondence in syntax. Function calls just become a form of prefix operator. More details: http://arclanguage.org/item?id=16924 (particularly the last couple of paragraphs)

I think a lot of the reason lispers look down at attempts to make indentation significant is that it's been bundled in the past with other syntax sugars to make Lisp more familiar to non-lispers. The goal shouldn't be familiarity, it should be power.

More details on the infix syntax I designed: http://akkartik.name/post/wart

One of the most reasonable rules I've heard IMO for deterring voting districts:

I would like to know if there is a free or open source database that has all of the genders, pronouns, races, religions, colors of skin, sexual orientation, etc so I don't leave anyone out on my forum project and avoid offending them.

My boss does not want a fill in the black other option, he wants me to list them all, the whole list of them that peer reviewed neutral third parties ala science has proof of. That way we don't have silly stuff like Apache Helicopters.

I figured that other hackers have this issue and might have solved it before. If I don't get access to the lists, my boss is threatening to fire me.

I had asked before, and some claim it can't be answered because all the values between 0 and 1 are infinite? If that is true, I might as well quit and find a new job as I can't code that.

WebRTC Data Channels don't actually let browsers send arbitrary UDP packets over the wire; rather, they only let you send SCTP packets tunneled over UDP. This distinction sounds pedantic because you can configure SCTP to deliver unreliable and unordered messages just like UDP, but there are some important caveats. For example, one of the benefits of UDP in real-time gaming is that packets can be dropped with minimal impact because it doesn't have head of line blocking. However, SCTP mandates congestion control which will start buffering your outgoing packets if it detects a minute or so of sustained packet loss (at least in libwebrtc). While congestion control is generally a good thing, in this case, it causes the game to grind to a halt. In addition, there is some overhead to sending the SCTP metadata which is suboptimal in bandwidth-heavy use cases like synchronizing a large physics simulation or supporting slower connections.

That being said, I'm very excited about WebRTC and its inclusion in Safari. It's not a silver bullet that exposes a simple UDP interface, but it's a welcome alternative to WebSockets for use in real-time games.

Totally agree. I've worked in or with hospitals since the mid 80s, and they were some of the first connected organizations; Pharmacy and Lab were first to network, with AP/Patient Accounts coming soon thereafter. And even though hospitals were early adopters, they still don't think of connectivity or throughput as a big deal - until everything comes crashing down.
No of course not. This just isn't related to Google's core business which is advertising. And as history has shown us anything that isn't core business is always first in line to be cut. This could be different but of course you should still be a little cautious.

Compare this however to Microsoft where business productivity has been an integral part the company since the very beginning. And so the Surface Hub looks like a more likely product to still be around a decade from now.
Well speaking just for myself, I honestly would prefer an even more party insiders driven process for the primaries. Too much democracy seems to lead to insane levels of populism leading to characters like Trump. At any rate, US democracy guarantees one a vote in the general -- parties are private orgs and it's not "corrupt" or "wrong" for them to select candidates however they want.
