You're not citing any evidence either.

What you say is funny because it was the capitalistic right that led him to absolute power (see: hindenburg, and the pressure of the rich to get hitler named chancellor because they feared the communists).

And the last statement is scraping the bottom of the barrel too so I won't comment more on that.
Local employees do like to use it, but as we've grown, the majority of employees are not local to it. Fewer bay area employees proportionally, fewer events in SF (due to price, we tend to do meetups elsewhere -- and with recent customs concerns preferably not in the US for our international coworkers), fewer usage.
Under that logic, we'd stop saving the lives of the homeless in ERs unless we also gauranteed their health and education.
Operating systems' success is fundamentally based on their popularity. Popularity resembles an exponential distribution, therefore there can only be a small number of popular ones with a long long tail of less and less popular ones. Here, popularity is a positive feedback loop, where the more popular it is the more developers target it, and the more it's targeted the more it's developed internally, which makes it better and therefore more popular.

That doesn't mean it's useless to develop them. If you set your sights low (playing around, learning, academic) you can still benefit from them without them being a huge success by popularity standards.

Please show me where to get some of that money then. Since obviously you're implying I'm already seeing it. If you're a university student, however, it's usually not too hard to go to the university sponsorships and funding structures and see that the university is indeed funded with pro-global-warming funding.

The situation in practice is, of course, reversed. I know plenty of people who get money because they're climate "activists" (not researchers, that's not to be used anymore as a name).

Because if I want money from the UN, state or federal government to research climate change, I know where to go. Seriously, some research budgets are 50% climate change and funding such gems as "the social impact of climate change on Chicago black persons". I mean, I get it, not all research must be useful. I have no problem with that. But note that while I can't find numbers all of this research spending seems to be going everywhere ... except to climate modeling. It doesn't go to exact sciences much at all.

I wonder how that video of yours was funded. Let's see:

http://www.carbonneutraluniversity.org/-notable-supporters.h...

Heh. Okay. That's of course, very very different from ExxonMobil sponsorship ... very different ... And I'm sure you're about to claim that if this group was found to not help climate activism that funding wouldn't change ...
From the article:

> Most of the children born into households in the top 20 percent will stay there or drop only as far as the next quintile.

And rewritten a bit, it sounds rather weak:

"In theory I agree. In practice, has anyone seen anyone work farther from work on purpose to pad their pay?"

Look at it in another way -- you're basically penalizing the employees that don't spend time commuting by paying them less money. In practice I've seen this kind of phenomenon with smoking. Many years ago, in the army, the smokers got smoking breaks whereas the non-smokers did not. Soon almost all soldiers were smokers!
For me it's: I miss my youth and health, and I'd love to be able to go back just so I could have the time and energy to work on the things I'd like to work on now.

I am still making things, it's just more difficult now.

But video games are a hell of a lot better now than they were back then. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? The Witness? Life is Strange? Persona 5? So, so good. And there's nothing stopping me from playing the old games when I feel like it (except having the time).

Also I wouldn't mind having another replay of my high school and college years with the confidence that I have now. A lot of my experiences with women would have gone a lot more positively then if my attitude and approach then were the same as it is now (Well, in the past five years. I'm in a solid relationship now). I wouldn't want to replay the sitting around a classroom or schoolwork part of it though.
"What if a large, diverse group of people who are busy living their lives could act collectively in a way that's as effective as a well-funded group of professional lobbyists?"

You're right in the most technical sense, in that all of human social reality comes back to "us". But blaming complacency, rather than the exponentially more difficult problem "we" have to solve, is completely bizarre.

Nobody in tech thinks RE stands for regular expression...
Everybody in these comments seems to understand "exclusive" as "it's locked to this carrier," including me. Bad wording.
I don't have much to offer other than I feel your pain. The creative aspect of software development is what has always inspired me, but has also been a curse. The advice is always; do what you love, but banging out crud apps is not what I love.

In recent years I've resolved myself to using my creativity to doing more work in less time, such that I can usually do my work in a few hours per week, and still meet expectations at my job. Also troubleshooting and debugging can be a lot of fun. Like I just tracked down a bizarre framework interaction issue that baffled the project team for weeks. That took a few days.

So those are some ideas. Otherwise, cash the check and do the work. Do what you can on your own time, health permitting. This job pays too good to do anything else.

What astounds me is the extent to which these restrictions provide tangible benefits. If someone had described the iOS walled garden to me in 2005, then explained how Android was so much more open, I'd have assumed I would never even consider using an iOS device. It would have seemed simply inconceivable that a locked down system could be so attractive and provide so many benefits for users. And yet iOS is a slick, professional, highly productive environment and Android is a junky horrrible mess. I've dipped my toes in Android a few times and always retreated back to the comfortable safety of iOS in horror.

So here we are. With steps like this iOS is getting better at a very steady clip. We might even have Dropbox or even Github synchronisation built into Pythonista soon. Can't wait!
Exactly what I want it to spit out. Not a page with yahoo ads and a bunch of images and javascript that i'd have to filter out to be of any use to me.

Its an API.
You don't need a walled garden to have a hassle free experience. Apple could easily allow sideloading and only the people who enable would be asking for "trouble".
Ask HN: Software Engineer at a crossroads to manage or not?
Hello HN! Question for you.

TLDR: Mid career Staff Level Software Engineer, keep coding or time for management?

Background:
I've been a software engineer in the bay area for about 10 years now. I'm working for a top 10 tech company currently and I've always been one of the few key players/lead on the teams I've worked on.

At my current company I've been offered a couple paths. One continue to remain technical and entrenched in new projects and features at a senior level individual contributor. This path is not only very interesting but also in an up and coming domain in the tech industry. (Not just another web app)

Path 2: Go into management. I feel this is not as glamorous and will involve a lot of mentoring and essentially what amounts paper pushing, I'm thinking at this point in my career I should really start on a management track. My worry is that if I start too late I'll be one of those employees who never makes it into management.

I'd like the input of mid-career or senior level software engineers/managers/directors of technology. Is it time to go into management or should keep pushing the limits as an individual contributor?

P.S. A few quick notes. I still love programming and I'm not tired of it even though I've written a lot of code over the past 10 years. My ideal scenario would be to manage a cutting edge project but also still write code but I know this is not really an option as I'd like to maintain some work like balance for the sake of my wife and kids.
This is a chicken and egg problem, though. The big app makers want some guarantees of numbers before they port, but you'll only have those numbers once they've ported.
Theoretically. It's not as uncommon as one would hope with cartels and lowest common denominators. And if it's cheaper/more profitable to screw the end-user (I deliberately chose not to say customer) then why wouldn't they, unregulated?
Having no confidence in the project is part of the path to success

Yep, company dorms, company stores, etc. have been tried before. We've made labor rules prohibiting them because we realized that the line between dependence and outright slavery blurs more quickly than many expect. It's a trap.

Sadly, this gung-ho "for the company" attitude, which arises from a combination of naivety and boredom, is one of the essential characteristics that VCs want to see in prospective founders. It's one of the biggest reasons they push the "You must be young and pure to be an innovative founder!" angle, although most people aged 25+ can see pretty clearly that experienced founders would be a great benefit to any company. That experience threatens the VC game, so they keep it as far away as they can.
> Nail on the head. When your concern is cost, electric vehicles just don't make sense.

I agree with this. Electric cars are still affordable only to the affluent. Even a Nissan Leaf costs over $30k.

> I drive 5-10 thousands miles a year, and at $2/gallon gas, I'm looking at a total expense of 4-500 dollars per year.

This, however, seems really optimistic. 10k miles for $500 in gas assumes $2/gallon and 40 mpg, which is the EPA rating for highway miles in a Civic. Most people are driving >10k miles/year. Most people don't spend 100% of their miles on open highway at optimal speed, nor do most people drive a new car with max efficiency. And most people don't have $2/gallon gas even in the US (the average is closer to $2.50 currently).

Driving 12-15k/year, getting 25mpg, paying $2.50/gallon, you'd be looking at $1200-$1500/year for gas. That's still not enough to offset the difference in an electric car unless you assume long ownership and no major costs to, say, replace the battery pack at 5 years.

O(1) means bounded by a constant upper bound, not that every actual run of the program takes the exact same amount of time. Just like "simple quick sort is O(n^2)" does not mean that every invocation will take a quadratic amount of time. The parent's "can be solved in constant time" means the same thing, informally.

Anyway, we are in agreement that enumerating all boards would be quite inefficient.
The sprint analogy is especially true when you consider that units of work in software development can very often be neatly itemized into JIRA tickets.

If you are trying to compare it to the year of Linux, it would be wise to look at how the market changed in general rather than how the market changed for Microsoft. Linux did not decimate Windows, but it has certainly hurt other platforms and it has likely hurt Microsoft's reach.

Likewise, I doubt that GPGPU applications will decimate Intel. It will likely hurt Intel's reach. This is particularly true if AMD, ARM, and IBM are facilitating the use of to GPU as a high performance coprocessor.
You and me both, but there was a time when I would have been perfectly fine with this, because I lived it.

Well, it was the military, and you'd have to replace "hack away" with "non-stop exercise and dumb chores", but the analogy still fits I think.

> I may not be totally tuned into Oracle's reputation, but this seems incredibly damning to Amazon.

I can't speak to the rest of Oracle, my only experience is from here in the bare metal cloud org, but it's:

1) Better pay.

2) Better hours (you don't keep having to work ridiculous hours to keep afloat.) In over a year I've done barely a dozen late nights, and at least half of those were totally unavoidable. In every case management has strenuously forced me to recoup my time. One thing I really hated was watching staff just constantly burn out in various teams across AWS (I was lucky, my team in AWS was actually one of the good ones.)

3) An obsession with the operational burden (easier to operate == more resilient platform, happier staff and happier customers).

4) Middle management who actively push back, and a senior management tier who both listen, and juggle staff around as appropriate to ensure things get done on time. AWS is a constant feature mill, and it comes across in the marketing language etc. This is only fuelled because middle managers right across the org are either unwilling to say no, or have no authority to do so. From the differences I've seen with managers there, it really seems like the former. Some managers really do make a huge difference (and indeed, the only reason I entertained the possibility of joining Oracle was because I knew several good managers who'd moved across)

How to Write Exciting Conference Proposals
I used this years ago. I had a few scripts that would copy files to the appropriate tags, but it ended up being super slow. Eventually I wrote my own tools around the sqlite database it created (it's a pretty simple schema) but I've since lost most of those and ended up rewriting a bunch in a system I've been working on.

This was all back for the 0.2 release and I think the author changed a bunch of this stuff in later releases. I wish there were more options for tagging file systems in Linux. If I ever get my stuff out of the "thrown together" phase, I'll probably publish them.
I worked for a company for 1.5 years and mentioned I was moving and that I would like to stay with them and work remote if possible otherwise that I would be moving in 6 months.

I was incredibly lucky and know it put pressure on them to find special remote opportunities or 'fly and build/fix it' type opportunities for many clients. I work in network security and networking.

my employer already knew me and was very happy with all of my work, otherwise I cannot see anyway I would have obtained this opportunity.
Use regex for regular expressions (some people even use regexpr)
I think this is a good point. One other thing I would like to emphasize, after having worked only a little while professionally, is that its not as important what specific architecture you choose while learning, except that maybe you will write code faster and already know many of the nuances. There are so many resources available to learn any architecture now, that the best advice would be to pick a reasonable one and just learn it; with that experience, one can then move with confidence between architectures.
> Sure, but it's just that: speculation. The reality is that the economy and jobs market have both grown, with no aid or detriment from NAFTA.

Before China entered the WTO it was a 3rd world country, now it is challenging for #1 position economically and before too long technologically. They are eating everyone's lunch because of trade agreements. This isn't to say they don't deserve this position, in many ways they do (hard work), but they also got decades of free technology research gifted to them.

I'd love to know more about disassembly. I've recently had more and more reason to go deeper into applications I'm running as dependencies. A few issues I've found and fixed just by using strace to get an idea of the system calls.

There was one thing in particular where I knew there was a jump somewhere (if some_length < some_width) that caused bad outputs. I was playing around looking at registers etc in gdb while following along with a disassembled version of the code, but it was impossible to get any idea where to start.

I wanted something that could give me a few seconds worth of samples of where the instruction register was spending its time as a starting point, but couldn't find any such tool (linux).

Within my control:

- giving input files to explicitly set unique numbers to watch out for
- giving inputs that would generate bad output numbers only in the bad code path
- giving inputs to force a load of jumps down the bad or good code paths

Does anyone have any advice on how you might approach such a situation?
Got to admit I was hoping it'd be a coffee-ish colour before I sorta parsed the colour in my head and realised it was mostly green.

With that said there are some pretty cool ones (e.g. 5afe57 = safest = a green) that do match up. Can't say I can think of many hugely practical uses for this, but it's kinda neat!
Nice! An equivalent for comparison: https://tmsu.org/
5AFE57 = safest is cool.
Funny how fast the 'remote' tide has turned in the last year or two. These days, most prospective employers/contracts I find would prefer me to work remotely. Although personally, I'd rather work onsite ! This is for London and the South East of England.
doesn't 'the noughties' just mean 2000-2009 (plus or minus one on either end)?

\+1 for this. Mosh solved all problems an iPad ssh client may have. It allows the client to go offline and reconnect in no time when the client is back online, which is a common case on iOS (apps get killed when being in background for a short time). Lower latency (thanks to local echoing) and seamless switch between networks (cellular and wifi roaming) are also definitely nice to have. I tested Blink (a client on iOS with Mosh support) on a high-speed-rail trip from Shanghai to Beijing and it was rock solid.
Not sure. Might be. But the gist was, lots of stuff gets published and is flawed. Maybe it's just me but too often it seems that correlation gets passed off as cause.
