Touché.

On a semi-related note: in the Rhineland gendered articles are also used colloquially when talking about people: "Der Mark", "Die Steffi" and so on. I was born into this but I'm unsure how I feel about it after finding out it's actually non-standard in the rest of Germany.
Can you provide a specific issue?

If I put a competitor (eg. yelp, angie[slist], etc) into my search query, I get only results for those competitors. Leave the qualifying term out, and I get a SERP of all non-Google review sites. But again, I enter "yelp pizza" and get all Yelp results. Hell, I enter "pizza reviews" and get Yelp as the top 3 links of my SERP.

I worked at Appian within the past five years for an internship. I'm less aware of their success business side, but their software seemed to be falling apart. Multiple hundred line classes were copied and pasted around, logging and exceptions were pretty much ignored, vital parts of their stack were deep within deprecated libraries and frameworks with no way out. It did not feel like they valued quality, and a bunch of people felt flat out incompetent.

That said, they've done super well for themselves. It sort of blows away this thought of successful startups being full of the best and trying to build the best product. I'm curious what will happen to them down the line.

I've noticed this as well in all the Gtk apps that I've run through the terminal.

Never having programmed in Gtk, what is the cause of this? Is Gtk broken or are all the programmers using it incorrectly? I've programmed a great deal in WinAPI and stuff like that never happens.

The “Silver Dragon”: The Annual Tidal Bore of the Qiantang River
I agree. Though we might disagree on where legitimate concerns end and irrational fears start. It is also non-trivial to decide (and argue around) what a 'best option' is without defining a scale of what 'good' and 'bad' would be, and what factors are considered in that scale, and which ones are left out.
Good points, especially the last point. I approach "internet" differently these days.

I have twitter for high freq thin data, reddit for a bit more dense information~. For deeper information I could read serious journals, books. But I rarely need that, or am not capable of digesting it.

Earlier this month I wrote an ETL extractor using Capybara & headless browser (to work-around a lack of API - PS: only do that as a last resort!).

One thing I learned and wanted to warn about here is that Chrome headless currently doesn't support file downloads [1].

PhantomJS won't work either (unless you use a custom build) [2].

I also tried with capybara-webkit, but no luck either [3].

The only driver which ultimately allowed me to download files at this point was Selenium + Firefox (with some tweaking on profile options browser.download.dir, browser.download.folderList = 2, browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk set to the MIME type of files to be downloaded).

Not learning anymore. The previous job I was at was a rather boring one after a few months.

The company had already encountered most of the customizations clients requested and most of the new projects ended up being solely copy-paste work from older projects. This meant writing no new code but just applying older patch files and tweaking some config like the header and footer of the website.

Since I was not learning anything new anymore at this job it felt like a drag going to work.

I started interviewing for some other companies and one thing I wanted to be sure of was to have a job where I would actually write code instead of tweaking some config files all day long.

I have enjoyed every day at work since I decided to leave that company.

Free health care in Melbourne too!
I think this is a nice piece, but would like to see some discounting for political risks. Saudi Arabia will retain a controlling interest in a firm that is strategically important for many reasons other than turning a profit:

* to provide tax revenues to the Saudi Government

* to provide cheap oil to the Saudi public

* to control the price of oil for political reasons -- e.g. if it wants to reward/punish other nations

* as a symbol of national sovereignty

Moreover, the Saudi Government is in a difficult position needing to placate some extreme forces and competing claims in their nation. It seems difficult to believe that this 5% share is going to prioritized when tough choices need to be made in the future.

That alone would, to me at least, call for a heavy discounting of future cash-flows.
It doesn't make any sense to compare salaries solely by numbers and without comparing the buying power related to the salary in the given country. Escpascially (!) not in the EU, since it's so diverse. This is most basic economic understanding. It just does not work out, no matter what you take in account to "justify" the the higher or the lower salary.

I live in Austria (big corp) and make 1x € a year.

My brother lives in Swizerland (big corp too) and he makes 3x € a year. It's a usualy saying here, that you make around 3 times the money in Switzerland compared to Austria, independently of what you work.

BUT:

In proportion to buying power and minus cost of living he has just about 1,5x € more money to blow (or to safe). Not 3x

AND,

he also says quality of life is 10x better in Austria: Do you live to work or work to live?

Spoiler: He's moving back to Austria in 1-2 years.
Yes I agree. Still, the key insight of constraints like dif/2 may also be applicable in this concrete case to limit the candidates already before and even during the search. It is this automatic pruning that makes logic programming with constraints so fast for many combinatorial applications. You are right of course that it may end up in brute force though, if there is nothing to prune.

Can someone please explain to me the rational for shoving your tests in the same place as your code? I have seen this before, and every time i have tried it on anything beyond a simple project it has ended up becoming a nightmare.

Often times you have numerous test specific helper functions, and tons of other test oriented cruft, where do all these things go? The root of the project? Also where do tests that encapsulate logic between multiple components go?

I'm yet to see any malicious actions by Google that comes close to the Halloween Documents or the licensing shenanigans. I don't know if you're looking back with rose-tinted glasses, but at it's peak, Microsoft was capital-E Evil (or ruthless if you're against moralizing): comparing Microsoft then to Google today seems foolish to me.

Edit: I naively think Google works with the principle that "What's good for the web is good for Google" and works to improve the web (and to my benefit). 90's Microsoft principle was "What's good for Microsoft is good for Microsoft. Destroy anyone who tries to mess with that"

The Hidden Tax

Although inflation causes generally rising prices, it should not be understood as detrimental to all parties involved. It is highly lucrative for the government and the banking industry. When new money is printed (today, created electronically), it greatly benefits the first recipient because assimilating the new money into the economic organism takes time. Those first recipients (government and banks) can purchase goods and services at the old prices. As the money slowly works its way through the economy prices are bid up. Eventually when it reaches the salaried workers, prices have mostly adjusted. This process is a hidden tax on salaried workers, or anyone who receives the money late in the cycle. It is especially detrimental to those on fixed incomes, such as pensioners. Not only does the government understate the effects of inflation in its official numbers, any price decrease that would have occurred as a result of productivity gains are denied to the consumer as well. Inflation is nothing but wealth transfer. The government prints money and buys stuff with it. Prices rise and the salaried worker can buy less stuff. All the stuff the salaried worker could have otherwise bought has accrued to the government. Simple. Politically, it is far more palatable than raising taxes because the process is badly understood and well obfuscated.

Suffering from acid reflux, I read at some point (I guess it was on Mayo Clinic) that something like 80% of people diagnosed as producing too much acid actually produce too little.

Since stomach valves are pH activated, having too little acid causes the valves not to clause, which can result in reflux or downstream acid leakage. I tested this by taking HCL supplements, which did fix the issue.

Best thing I have on this is a quote from Steve Jobs : "When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.""

Tesla might not do what they're promising. Hell, they probably won't do what they're promising. But pronouncing something impossible on the basis of industry experience can be a dangerous thing. Some things are considered unthinkable and impossible only until someone finds a way to do them, after which they are retroactively declared obvious and inevitable.

Certainly, Tesla seem to have the right ideas: Electric cars are inherently simpler, mechanically speaking, than gasoline cars, and they're leveraging this further by reducing the options and variability on the Model 3 to the absolute minimum. They also hired Peter Hochholdinger from Audi as VP of production, and he is pursuing a pretty extreme form of Industry 4.0[1] — with everything in their production process being instrumented, automated and designed for easy replacement.[2]

Nobody said that there wouldn't be ramifications.

>Printing more IOUs definitely devalues the existing IOUs

No, not necessarily. If an economy is operating way under capacity it will increase production, dampening inflation: you get the same number of widgets for your IOU it's just there are more widgets built.

If an economy is operating at capacity (as Zimbabwe's was), all it will do is devalue existing IOUs.

> Since Kotlin runs on the same jvm, it is a subset of Java, and therefore impossible for Kotlin to create code (and achieve speeds) that Java couldn't match.

This doesn't follow for several reasons. First, there are JVM bytecodes that Java doesn't use, so it would be more accurate to say that JVMLangX and Java both target subsets of the JVM. Second, higher order constructs could allow a JVMLangX-to-bytecode compiler to enforce checks at compile-time that would need to be done at runtime in Java.
