The pressure to maintain a lifestyle that you perceive to make you whole is an interesting one. My career started in the film industry and the long days, emotional personalities and industry norm resulted in abusing blow, while I don't think it ever got totally out of control in my life, I did go through a year of using it every day, and some days all day. Of course, it's a cycle. You use it to live that life, you make money living that life, you spend money using things to live the life, you have to live that life harder. I switched back into tech in my mid 20s, and eventually ended up relatively senior in a quickly growing startup. After about a year I started to use adderall more and more and more to keep up and feel more focused and more like the engineering minded folks around me. I'm thankful that eventually my boss (our ceo) pulled me aside and told me he felt that I was using adderall and booze in an unhealthy way and he wanted me to stop. However, the next thing he said to me is actually what made me stop. He said we really love you the way you are without drugs, we really love John as he is. Whoah, that was like a slap in the face. I'm really grateful for that as I'm sure I could have ended up down some pretty crazy rabbit hole. I suspect more bosses could do with being like this.
As a LastPass user, any particular reasons why I should avoid them? Is it down to all the security issues they've faced lately?
The study claims that the levels are 4x higher in the fat, but only around 2x higher overall (presumably since mac and cheese has less fat than cheese itself). I agree with you that there's a lot of information missing here.

NIST's list is incomplete, at least BCM43570 is vulnerable as well [1]. I would expect many more Broadcom chips to be vulnerable even if exploits may need to be tweaked.

[1] I'm part of a team that develops a product with this chip, and I've used the hostapd configuration I linked elsewhere in this topic to show it is vulnerable.
This is switching and ES2017 is the name we should standardize on to avoid confusion. For example, Typescript accepts targets "ES6" or "ES2015" as synonyms, but it doesn't have targets "ES7" or "ES8", only "ES2016" and "ES2017".

I personally prefer the terse version, but there are advantages to using the year-based naming.

When thinking about WFH as a "software person" I often come back to the case of the writer.

In the ideal case, i.e. if we factor out the employers, what we do is not so different from what novelists do. Of course it's not the same, but the physical aspects of the work are remarkably similar when you think about it.

And where does the novelist usually work? In a home office if they can.

So while I am sometimes frustrated with my (very privileged) position as a remote worker for a software company, I try to remind myself that in the ideal version of the work I do, I already have the ideal workspace.

(And yes, in the ideal version the Programmer codes for four good hours a day, just as the Novelist writes for about that long before going out into the world for inspiration and Life.)
+1 on dedicated office.

I did the tax calculation for home office and it ended up being wiped out by my total income(if I remember it scales for every $10k you take home) so it's not a freebie.
I've considered making a version of PwdHash that uses a stronger hash function (and I think my brother did make one)...

But to be honest, if a hacker specifically targets you, you will probably be compromised, no matter how strong a hash function you use. (They will probably just use one of the many other attack vectors.)

And there's that joke about two guys running from a bear. "I don't have to outrun the bear; I just have to outrun you"

PwdHash lets me have unique, non-trivial passwords for every site with minimal fuss. There will be probably lots of lower hanging fruit before hackers start targeting PwdHash-generated passwords.
When I was younger, I used to think that non-compete meant that the company would continue to pay you the same salary as before for the duration of the non-compete. It just sounded like common sense.

I was young and naive. I am not that young anymore but I still think this needs to be a nationwide law. If you want me to not work (in an industry) for a particular length of time, you ought to pay me to not work about as much as what I would have made by working. Sure, put a ceiling at 50x minimum wage (so currently $725k a year https://www.google.com/search?q=7.25*2000*50 ) or something but this is just common sense that if you want to prevent me from working, you should pay me for the duration that I am not working.
1Password is the only commercial password manager I recommend, but I'll go further than that when it comes to LastPass and say: I really think you should avoid LastPass, and, if you're using it, migrate to something else.

I'm not going to go into details, sorry.
I think this is a minority view, I used to have to wear suits for work and its a pain making considerations for them.
I would fully accept that and that's completely reasonable, but that's not what most contracts I've read say. I just read one the other day that stated the company owned all IP and inventions created prior to hiring and any created during employment regardless of whether or not it was written for the company or on company time. I'm surprised they didn't include any future IP as well.

The play button turning into a gear that spins is pretty cool. First time I have seen that.
I usually ignore server side rendering or isomorphic rendering. I'm not saying all projects should ignore it but you're really talking about a high level of optimization if you need it. And if you're reaching that level of optimization you probably shouldn't use Python.

Server side rendering only makes the first view faster. After that, everything is rendered on the client and faster that way. And if you use caching with progressive web apps or just file caching in general, the first view will be fast after. So you're only optimizing for the first of the first. You can then provide the initial data in the page request so that saves a round trip on the first request while still rendering on the frontend.

I say all this to just point out that there are many ways to speed up your frontend without doing SSR and they are much easier to implement with Python. So I'd rather exhaust all these techniques before implementing SSR. If I get to that point though, I suspect Python might be the slowest part of your stack. And lastly if you are doing SSR for SEO purposes then just use a prebuilt prerender service.

With all that said if there was an easier way to SSR with Python/Django, I'd definitely use it. But Jinja on the frontend doesn't sound like that answer.

Large cities do have prices impacted, but because of the larger existing population it takes a lot more to completely push out residents. They still operate as cities, with people living and working there year-round, businesses that don't exclusively cater to tourists, etc. Regardless of how many New Yorkers complain about tourists, New York as a functioning city with residents is not on the verge of disappearing. Smaller tourist-heavy towns really are being almost completely replaced with seasonal rentals in some cases though, to such an extent that the town more or less ceases to exist as a functioning town, and turns more into a seasonal amusement park.

In addition to mountain towns in the U.S., you see this in a lot of smaller European towns and cities, where especially in quaint historic areas nobody actually lives there anymore. Again usually below a certain size. Despite the AirBnBs, Paris is still a real city, but Venice is pretty much on life support (the old town has lost 70% of its population over the past few decades). Although AirBnB is only one factor in all of this. With Venice it started with mass conversion to regular B&Bs, and in some areas it's more just traditional purchase/rental of vacation homes (Londoners buying up 2nd homes in Cornwall is what's pushed locals out of towns like St. Ives).

It's not. You're judging asynchronous/remote working styles according to synchronous/co-located standards. There isn't necessarily any such thing as a "normal work day". Monday–Friday 9:00–5:30 isn't 100% applicable when your team members aren't in the same time zones or observe the same national/religious holidays. So long as they get the work done when they say they will, the exact hours they work aren't important.
Er, in this case the x% is like, 30+%. Lots of people take ski weekends in the winter.
I'd argue that it's better to use a markup-generating DSL than a templating language to begin with. Then you simply get to use native language constructs to accomplish your goals and take advantage of the natural lexical scope of your view code to inject data into your markup. Plus, it lends itself to generating an intermediate representation, which is what enables things like virtual Dom.

The issue is that each side has vastly different costs to the employee leaving.

Imagine we have a 100 person company. If an employer loses an employee, they are down 1/100 of their production until they can find someone to replace them. If an employee loses their job, the lose 100% of their production.

Unless the company is very small or the employee is insanely important, the cost is just not equal for each side.

> Coincidentally, Russell Ivanovic is a case in point for what could happen if you defy Apple and launch on Android first. Ivanovic had initially been very lucky to have been assigned an Apple Developer Relations representative who gave him exclusive promotional opportunities. Few developers get assigned these representatives. Among the benefits Ivanovic received was the privilege to have Shifty Jelly's apps preloaded on iPads in Apple stores in Australia, a major marketing boost.

> Things went south In 2012, when Ivanovic launched a new version of the Pocket Casts app on the Android Play Store first, rather than Apple's App Store. The launch was a real success, and he publicly shared the good news. Before he knew it, his Apple Developer Relations representative stopped all contact. The representative would not even answer his emails. Ivanovic had been completely shut out.

The first view is the most important view, and making it faster is often the most beneficial thing you could do for engagement.

Why not transfer the private key? I encrypted it using a one-time pass and send it using email. I then decryped and installed to the other machine.

Since I don't have the one time pass anymore the encrypted file is not usable anymore and I have the same key to both machines.

For that particular case, perhaps, but they also say:

Phthalates are not deliberately added to food. They are
industrial chemicals used to soften plastics and are used
as solvents, in adhesives and in ink on packaging. The
chemicals migrate into food from food processing equipment
like plastic tubing, conveyor belts and gaskets and other
plastic materials used in the manufacturing process, and
can also seep in from printed labels or plastic materials
in the packaging."
This looks cool—can someone help explain to me a real world use case?
Yeah... it's different for each. :-)

Personally even when working remote, I need to go to a cafe... I like being around people but none of them can interrupt me, no TV or couch or bed or fridge or pet or yard or porch in nice weather to distract me.

But I've worked with people who have been WFHing for decades. I envy their ability to do so.
Yes, that's "point of sale in the cloud". If they lose their network connection, they can't even accept cash.
First, thank you very much for your time and input!

The thing is unions in France are really short-handed and do not have a lot of money. Hiring a "top notch" consulting firm to develop the app is not financially doable.

I'm not saying, "everyone is doing it wrong". I'm saying "everyone is doing it like it was done in the 1950", because it's true.

Now the top brass wants to modernize everything. I just made for them a brand new website, they want a Facebook/Twitter presence and everyone agree that the old "member card" is a problem.

My thinking is that for these kind of people, I'd have a better chance of convincing them by showing something already working (I'm totally ready to get a "no" even if I worked on the app 100 hours, I would have learned new skills in the process anyway).

Of course, at the beginning we would offer people the choice between the paper card and the e-card.
Is this happening a lot in the tech world? I don't mean an anecdote here and there. I did some quick google searches and it seems like non-competes are usually enforced against people in sales/marketing of some sort, taking their client list with them. That seems like a completely reasonable enforcement. The instances that make headlines in the tech world are the ones where Uber may have intentionally stolen Google tech, or at least the employee intentionally brought Google tech with them to Uber. Again, completely reasonable.
They link to http://kleanupkraft.org/data-summary.pdf which says

Natural cheese: 53ppb average
Cheese powder: 106ppb average

The highest individual pthalate was Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DHEP). The wikipedia page for that says that average consumption of DHEP is 0.25mg/day; if you ate 1kg of cheese powder that would be 0.1mg, and 1kg is a lot of cheese powder.

In the ideal case, i.e. if we factor out the employers, what we do is not so different from what novelists do.

I very much agree with this as an ideal case.

The voices saying "software should always be written by a team" are very loud at the moment, though.

(A reasonable number of novels are collaborations, but the authors generally come together "organically" rather than being thrown together by the publishers. Closer to starting a contacting shop with a couple of friends than the standard software team setup).

> I just read one the other day that stated the company owned all IP and inventions created prior to hiring ...

Haha. Okay that's seriously ridiculous. I'd have a field day berating any org that tried to push that on me.

> ... and any created during employment regardless of whether or not it was written for the company or on company time.

I'd disagree with you on the non-company time. Depending on the nature of the work whether it happens on the clock or not isn't clear cut. Hence the default of the company owning everything while you're doing work for them as an employee.

The best defense for this as an employee is to get a written exemption for anything non-company related that you're working on, or a generic exemption as a matter of company policy for things like off-clock FOSS contributions.

Just about every large scale FOSS project requires contributors to attest to IP ownership and assign copyright of contributions. Most also explicitly ask if your employer has granted you permission to offer you contribution. There are many stories of projects that don't do this trying to track down individuals years after the fact to facilitate relicensing.

Now in a more specific work for hire (i.e. contracting / consulting) situation, it does need to be tightened to reflect the actual work at hand. Otherwise you can't work on anything else

> I'm surprised they didn't include any future IP as well.

Be even funnier if they did and also required to actually create some too. Instead of a golden parachute it'd be lead anchor.
So basically you're getting the same amount of pthalates as you would if you ate twice as much natural cheese?

I moved to Taos, New Mexico last year, a ski town with a huge Airbnb market, like Crested Butte. It has definitely increased long term rental prices around here, but, to a former NYC resident like me, they were pretty low to begin with.

Taos, thankfully, has a lot of factors which prevent it from becoming the next Jackson Hole or Crested Butte. For one, unlike those towns, we have a lot of land. Taos isn't really hemmed in by National Forests and has plenty of room for new construction. Second, Taos was fairly large to begin with: 15,000 people or so in the greater area, so Airbnb has a more muted effect.

It seems like a very mixed bag to me. Long term rental prices keep going way up, but many locals seem to be making a lot of money renting out (of course, only the ones who can afford to own in the first place). The city also seems to make a decent amount of money from lodgers tax as well.

Lehman's was suit-for-everyone too, though what was really aggravating (other than women seemingly being allowed to wear beach clothes and forcing the room to be heated until all the men in suits sweated) was the 'dress down' Friday which was a second expensive wardrobe which required a stay-at-home spouse to maintain. So the techies generally stayed in suits on a Friday.
Yes. It happens to anyone who doesn't move to California. You can Google for stories on it.
Answering this question publicly is a very bad idea.
Oh cool, okay thanks!
You're a part of the same team and you need to wear these outfits which you will likely never wear outside of work, but the huge bonus goes to the client favoring sales team, and no - we won't pay for the garb we require you to maintain the illusion that we are all equals!

Honestly, one of the things I absolutely love about tech/Silicon Valley is nobody cares at all how you dress.

Although, I noticed the sale force offices unofficial uniform:

Brown shoes brown belt designer jeans and some dry-cleaned blue shirt and a blazer...

"Look at how casually uniquely I conform to the office uniform!"

Not judging, I just thought it was funny...

He suggests the name change caused the deterioration. Since we know correlation is not causation, I propose a more likely situation:

that one thing caused both: a personality that would choose to go through the effort of changing his name to a cartoon super hero.
I agree. I would say first make it non enforceable unless the employee is a certain status with certain parameters (like ownership) and then it's some multiple of salary after X years at the company. So you couldn't extend it to someone who's been there 6 months.
I didn't move to California and it's never happened to me or anyone I know. I did Google for stories on it and I couldn't find any stats. Do you have any?
Yes. That's my favorite too.

Lunar bases may need to be quake-proof (2006)
Probably true but it doesn't really take away from the point of resources being tied up by a percentage that is significantly less than 50% of the population.

Rents businesses essentially "short circuit" the flow of capital through the economy. So a "one percenter"[1] buys a cabin which he rents through AirBnB to other "one percenters". Because he isn't a hospitality business he doesn't hire desk staff, a concierge, or pay taxes that are funding local government efforts. Instead the 'rents' just recirculate right back into the "one percenter" pool.

The absurd extreme of this notion is something like the vision in Elysium of a rich people enclave with no need of any human "non rich" staff.

I don't see that actually coming to pass but as Gates and others have noted, it is important to understand how technology can distort an economy and work on ways to repair that distortion.

This is a stretch but there is a cottage industry that churns out translations of children's books into Latin. Search for "Winnie Ille Puh" or "Cattus Patasatus" and that will lead to several others.

Yes exactly. As an example in Switzerland the phenomenon predates the BnB boom by at least two decades. It has lead to a new law that tries to limit the 2nd home ratio for each town - not sure how successful this is though.
Common dress absolutely drives a certain esprit de corps. The irony in my example is that the corporate code ruined the informal one we'd developed over the years (white dress shirt, fleece or vest and brown shoes with tan slacks or black shoes with light pinstripes). Before the rebellion, I could identify, on the street, our teams (and who were the interns--black suits with skinny ties, almost all of them). Afterwards, each desk went its own separate way.

In an office setting, dress is better used as a signal than a driver. If your team isn't, over the years, picking up cues from one another then maybe there's a level of social bonding that you, as the manager, are neglecting to forment. (Or your team doesn't have to be that close to be effective.) Social psychology gives a lot away for free if you're halfway perceptive.
Time is a multiplier on a lot of issues. There are a lot of things that are essentially non-issues if addressed immediately, which can be problems if they linger. I think the white collar world could do with more directness!
