I had somewhat a similar experience in a previous job. Automated a lot of stuff to speed up our workflow. Never got anything material out of it (bonus/raise, etc). The reward was an expectation to increase our output ("Now that it takes half the time to do X, everyone should double their output.") The other reward was maintaining my code while expected to double the output. At one point the manager made it clear I would not get a promotion based on this.

I left, and in my next job I tested the waters a little to see if they'd value such contributions. They did, and so I happily continue to make them. Had they not, I would have stopped quickly and moved on to another job. As an engineer, my job is to solve problems that need to be solved. I could be like everyone else and just go along with it (not solve them and maintain the status quo), but that's not why I became an engineer.
My friend hacked a website using sql injection now he is afraid
One of my friend tried to hack into website using sql injection and he successfully hacked it. After hacking into the website he took some screenshots of the page.but he didn't steal any information or passwords.once he was in he just took a screenshot and that's it.will his owner be able to know that his website was hacked.plss reply asap
I agree. I think SoundCloud's troubles came primarily from poor management. Throughout the monetization process, top management seemed to be hoping that the "business guys" would figure it out while they stayed in their comfort zones.
I disagree. We're very short on dreams these days. And I also don't think "pipe dreams" will siphon money away from work that needs to be done - it's the general lack of will to do anything other than very incremental fixes that currently eats that money.
The movie industry, unfortunately, has this figured out. The classic guide was "Screenplay" (1979) by Syd Field, which lays out a fairly rigid structure for movies. Then, in 2005, Blake Snyder published "Save the Cat", which is a rigid guide to what has to happen in each set of pages in a screenplay. Here's the summary on one page.[1]

This pattern is so effective that almost every big-budget movie from Hollywood now follows it. Very closely.[2] So closely that audiences expect it. Hollywood got a design pattern that works, and they're sticking with it.

My buddy outside Valley City ND (calling it a city was wildly optimistic) gets 1 gigabyte up 256mb down for USD$90. As you’ve said, it’s a bit more than a rural / urban problem.
Michael Lewis: Why the Nuclear Threat May Be from Inside the White House
I'm not sure it would be laziness. A good poster who bothers to understand the article and compose an interesting response probably isnt lazy.
Hmm. Something that survives a firmware overwrite?
Because if you follow the link you get http://practicaltypography.com/graylist.html. That page has about the same amount of content as a typical spam page.
there is no way it is going to create more jobs

This seems like a crazy assertion to me. I think you're thinking very small and short-term, as in: 3mm people don't drive anymore for their job, so we have 3mm fewer jobs.

In a world where no one drives, no one owns cars, they zip around in a global mesh that's tied together with all other forms of transport and logistics, which are also automated...how can we possibly predict what such a world will look like, and what new opportunities, lifestyles, and paradigm shifts will occur?
> If users have to think about how to use their software, the developer failed at their job.

Under that definition, I don't think that there's ever been a successful developer. I'd set the bar more at the ecosystem level. Once a user learns how an ecosystem works, the software in it should be as intuitive as the complexity of their tasks allow. Anything more seems like making perfect the enemy of good.
> Was it? If Tesla didn't exist would things look dramatically different today?

Yes. Because the market didn't want electric cars, and if Tesla didn't force them down our throats it probably still wouldn't. At some point in the future the shift would eventually happen, but Tesla sped that process up.
Any lawyers here? Are the architectures of those old microprocessors like 6502 or 8051 copyright/patent-free by now?

Can one create a commercial game where the players should reverse engineer programs for some virtual hardware which have, for example, a virtual 6502 on board?
> I don't understand why people write programming blogs on Medium. I think that managing a live website with its own server (rather than only working on other people's projects) is a very important skill.

You've listed two different objectives: writing a programming blog, and learning to manage a live website. Why should anyone interested in the first automatically care about the second?
Yes. I did horrible things at the start of clj-time in my fork. I was so disgusted with my solution I abandoned it.

Those decisions got propagated and didn't get fixed for a long time. I should have kept it closed and let someone else do it properly, rather than unless abandonware on the world.

In fact, come to think of it, I regret everything I've ever open sourced. I can't think of even one time it lead to a positive outcome. I can't think of even one time it didn't lead to a decidedly negative outcome.

The same is true of my writing. Every time I've wrote about the advancements of programming, people have made it their goal to oppose it and mock me over it.

Lots of people love to talk about how great this community is. But I've never seen our world as much more than a slowly spreading cloud of venom in a larger medium of confusion. I've felt this way ever since the days when I was a kid and the title "hacker" was rigorously gatekept in local and isolated oligarchies.
As long as they are facts stated in the article (and the article has been read), I don't see an issue. However, a good NLP might still make automated spam posting possible.
phil1edinburgh1 asks 'what does NKRbeta mean?' - not sure if he is being sarcastic or hasn't actually read the article :/
We usually start with a simple email or phone call. Most developers and teams will reply quickly, especially when they are in the business of selling software.
Uhm, well Three Affilated has a lot of oil money. It is actually going to the people instead of the tribe’s coffers (although the tribe is doing quite well too).

The tribes have a lot of issues dealing with connectivity (the fed doesn’t help nor the BIE) but some are better off than Grand Forks and Fargo.
The best part of reading technical content is the discussion in the comments – Medium makes that impossible.
To me, the point of career comparison is probably more for new programmers (e.g. assigning a mentor) rather than long term...though for a US Federal government job, fifteen years in not particularly long term. I mean the experience you describe would not be a surprising description of Google or Apple or IBM. Nor would it be surprisingly applied to the US Park Service or Harvard. Those features are applicable to pretty much every large institution.

Early in a career, can be a good time to try out large institutions because large institutions tend to have explicit structures for on-the-job training and career development. Early in a career is also a good time for some people to decide "big companies ain't for me" and for other people to decide "this is a good fit." Over time people in the startup ecosystem often become just as cynical as career government employees. I think it's more a function of age and experience and personality than anything else. Bright eyed and bushy tailed doesn't go with gray hair.
> NASA itself is a massively disfunctional organization, in my experience, and a failure to "cut through the bullshit" is a major reason why.

I completely agree with this, though I think it's important to note two things. First, despite the dysfunction, they do, more often than not, make things that work under extremely challenging conditions. And second, a lot of the dysfunction is not their fault, but is a consequence of the fact that they are a government agency and hence ultimately answerable to Congress. Not only that, but they are a government agency created to fight a (cold) war that ended almost thirty years ago so they have been rudderless for a long time. The fact that they've done anything other than suck up taxpayer dollars is a testament to the incredible skill, both technical and political, of many of the people in the agency. Notwithstanding my vocal criticism of the organization, I have tremendous respect for many of the people who work there.
Standing Rock also has to deal with two state governments.
I originally tried github pages, but had issues with getting an SSL cert working with Cloudflare. I ended up using AWS Certificate Manager to add an auto updating cert to CloudFront.
I was thinking in a historic archiving sort of situation, bringing to mind recent stories of NASA code being unearthed. Basically I was expecting "it passes all the current unit tests" to be an insufficient standard for NASA coding.
Why try to get her into it? If she wanted to get into it she would have. It sounds like you are trying to force her into something that she isn't interested in. My fiancee is an incredibly intelligent person who I believe would be an amazing programmer, but her passion is history. I wouldn't all of a sudden try to "get her into" programming. Your passions do not have to be her passions.
Correct, that is a copyright violation. Based on the links above Tasty's videos are neither plagiarism, which is an offense in academia, but not commerce, nor Copyright, the commercial equivalent, which does not protect recipes.
You merely present an opinion without an argument. You need to actually argue why trains are better than "mini metros for cars". You might be correct, but just stating your opinion is not constructive.
No, it still matters. But exhaustive testing can produce reliable products from unreliable processes. The extreme example of this is evolution itself.
I tried DataGrip when it first came out but found it lacking in some areas. I'm sure much has changed since the first release but are you wishing there are any features in Navicat that should be in DataGrip?
They have a gimmick in their pricing: 90-day minimum storage. So for objects that don't have 90-day lifetimes, you can end up paying WAY more than S3.

S3 IA has a 30-day minimum, like Google Nearline, and Google Coldline is 90-day minimum. These make it very hard to predict and control pricing.

Backblaze B2 may not be as high performance, but their pricing is very low AND very predictable. No gimmicks. I've received many HashBackup customer emails mentioning that they use B2 and have never received complaints about their service.
BEK and other rural electric cooperatives are really laying down the fiber. Plus, if you look at a competition map of ND most places have multiple choices.
The vague notion of Hyperloop is awful for cities for the reasons mentioned in this article. Municipal governments are fighting a very hard, uphill battle right now to get basic funding for proven conventional public transit services which would dramatically make life better for everyone. Musk dropping the promise of Hyperloop (with no interest on following up on the idea) has provided ammo for transit cynics and opponents of public transit to seed doubt, delay and derail the public transit conversation by inquiring why investment in conventional tech is necessary when Hyperloop is surely on the horizon. Even keen pro public transit futurists may find that they're accidentally injuring progress in public transport doing the same thing.

The Boring Company's "cars in tunnels (maybe on sleds?) idea", which Musk is following up on, is even more dangerous and has worse impacts on cities. For one thing Induced Demand is a well studied, proven fact, so we know that the expansion of road infrastructure will incentivize more people to drive and create more traffic in the long term. This means not only that these tunnels will inevitably get as full as the roads above, but more importantly that the broader road network of the region will be severely negatively impacted by the new traffic induced by the tunnels. This is precisely the wrong solution at a time when municipal governments are more interested in reducing car use, because they understand very well the benefits in pivoting toward creating denser, more walkable, cities and are currently engaged in making this shift.
Let's just see how consistent you are, how monstrous you are by your tacit acceptance of the current state.

It's thought experiment time: take all the homeless in the country, but make them all 5 years old. Do we leave them on the street to fend for themselves? No, and what must we do with them? Why? And then keep questioning why to each of your answers to get to the root of your thoughts.

Do the same experiment, but make the age 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19. How do your answers change, and if they do, answer truthfully why? How utterly heartless you are.

Your obvious inconsistencies stem from the fact that your notion of truth and what is just is completely arbitrary, planted in you by someone very manipulative and cruel. What you think is so banal as to disgust me.
I think you'll be quicker to tire in healthcare. The highs are not very high and lows can be really low.

It depends if your product depends on cooperation from staff to work. If you build things to extend EHR/EMR functionality, it does require cooperation down to the level of integration and delivery. They may require a copy of your product to be installed locally, which will make support difficult (you now have additional credentials to manage and policies to follow for their network).

Physicians and Nurses can be very tough customers because they have so much demand on their own time and skills due to the mortality of their work. They're not a group you often tell to go read the docs.

It's better to deliver something new that adds value because they're not going to have much frame of reference to what the workflow should be. It's a new product and they switch into learning mode. They're then more accepting of new workflows. I've seen this several times presenting changes to existing products and presenting new products to this industry.
I feel one of the main reasons Medium is so successful is that they cracked discoverability and rank high on Google for any topic (sort of like Wikipedia). Hence, I am hesitant to move away from it although I really want to build a sustainable, long-term business on my own domain.

Any ideas on this?
>As others have pointed out websites have gotten much larger for no good reason.

Yeah, but 12 Mb/s should be able to handle it without even noticing any lag. I have 15 Mb/s and it serves all my needs, including 1080p streaming.
> I've never characterized myself as what I hear a "millennial" to be

I suspect this is true for literally everybody. Which is because these characterizations are reductive nonsense: people contain multitudes.
In the fourth paragraph, Dr. Adam Russell (the interviewee) is quoted as saying: "I wouldn’t characterize it [as a bullshit detector], and I think it’s important not to". Then the author titles his article "DARPA WANTS TO BUILD A BS DETECTOR FOR SCIENCE".

That's not just weasel-y journalism, it's downright disrespectful to the person you're interviewing. If I was in Russell's shoes, I'd be insulted.
You can mix Java and Groovy with Gradle as well. This might help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22369033/how-to-use-grad...

I haven't used Maven in a long time and I'm not sure what is the state of the Groovy Maven plugin. Writing unit tests in Groovy for your Java projects is a great, low risk way to get things working.
Sure, I agree! Is that the point my parent comment was making? I can't find this point in that comment.
Similar to the plot of "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote"

By that definition there's no such thing as an airgapped computer, unless you are talking about computers created by an alien civilization that arose in another galaxy from an independent origin of life. The useful definition of the term, the one that has a nonempty set as referent, is where there isn't a continuous network connection, and human intervention is required for physical transport of each sample of data.
One of the main reasons people use Medium is that their posts will be viewed by random Medium users in addition to their own fan base, thus growing their fan base and getting more views both in the short and long term.

I'd compare it to YouTube. People could theoretically host their own videos, but the main reason people use YouTube is because it is so much easier for others to discover your videos.

Also, +1 on using Linode! Have had multiple projects on their servers. No downtime at one point for over 365 days.
Instead of pursuing major record label, did they not even though about creating one?
1. I tell my boss I need this and only use it on non-business-core code.

2. He understands that open-source != raise.

3. He agrees.

(the funny thing is, that the open-source code a programmer can benefit the most on is rarely that what a business considers its core value, e.g. I write an open-source package manager for our plugins that I can reuse to bring plugins to later jobs, boss considers the plugin's contents his core value)
That's great that you are having a good time. But a few points:

1) The experiences you've personally had do not capture all problems that everyone has, and to assume you've seen it all is pretentious at best. You are quick to dismiss the very idea that anyone would find limitations in the language or its architecture, without even knowing the details of the myriad other projects out there; sorry, that is just naive or arrogant.

2) I've noticed that on nearly any forum, you like to brag about the size of your... codebase. The quality of a project and the problems it has solved are not revealed in quantity of lines. It doesn't matter if you have 100K or now you say 150K lines of code. I have no idea what problems you are solving, nor you us; so stop hiding behind a nice round number and claiming it gives you all manner of authority on what developers need.

> let's not pretend there's some spooky "abstraction wall"

Honestly, it's comments like this that underscore what many others here have said about the general stance in the Elm community. How about actually listening to people's experiences rather than dismissing them? You can't end your comments with little emojis and pretend it washes over the general brush-off you are presenting.
So.. what am I looking at? What's with the bubbles? I thought it was a droplet on the lens or something. Could someone with more knowledge of this stuff tell us what we're looking at?
One thing I don't understand about the "induced demand" thing - surely there must be a limit to this? If you keep expanding roads, at some point you must hit the situation in which your capacity is greater than the number of people even remotely interested in traveling the road...

I suppose the limit might be quite high, but I've never seen it discussed at all.
Oddly enough, here's a situation where headline's idea sounds better than what's discussed in the article.

The idea of a "confidence detector" seems both Orwellian and AI-complete.

But a "bullshit recognizer" seems simpler and practical. A device the recognizes contradictions in text, conclusions unrelated to evidence or similar "egregious" things could be useful.

It might even be a trainable thing. You have N papers with M passage-combinations that show the claims of said paper are bullshit and develop a finder/recognizer. The problem could wind-up not that different than sending Watson at Jeopardy.

The drawback, of course, is the thing would have to be taken no more seriously than a grammar checker - it just serves to point reviewers at potential problems rather than serving as proof of a problem.
They are constantly "Temporarily sold out", at least in European regions.
Thanks for the thorough explanation. Do you have sources? I want to read papers, I don't want to read your unsourced statements. Can you post links to any peer-reviewed papers supporting your claims? Or, if there is a big conspiracy not to publish such research, at least pre-prints written by actual researchers where publishing was refused? (and which really analyses data, and which doesn't read like anti-vaxx or flat-earth rants)

Following the money works both ways, you can find climate sceptics funded by the oil industry (Heartland institute for instance). So yes I do want to follow the science.

Plagiarism has formal consequences in academia.

Well, what I tell customers is "what you're paying for is support and latest updates.

Customers get access to a private repo for latest updates and priority support for 1 year (yearly maintenance fee = $150/year). ~20% of customers pay the yearly.

Each purchased key is bound to a mobile app id. If customer wants to make 3 apps, they need to purchase 3 keys.

Public repo contains latest stable release; purchased keys unlock product in public repo forever.

iOS lib is free. Only Android lib requires a key to unlock it. This gives users the chance to freely develop iOS first (and hopefully get hooked, like cheap crack ;). Chances are they're going to release an Android version too since most of the earth uses Android.

The Android version is fully operational in DEBUG builds. Key is enforced for RELEASE builds.
>I find the comments most of the time more read worthy than the article.

What news site is this? For general news sites, I've found them to be of very low quality. I can't remember the last time I gained anything from them.
I'm not a lawyer. I also thought it works differently until a boss thought he can sue me for a separate business idea I developed. I told my boss about it because I thought he would fund it and we would become rich together. He thought me telling my idea to other possible investors was theft (company secrets etc). My lawyer thought he was right.
> In a lecture several years ago at the University of Southern California, the architect Rem Koolhaas suggested that the city of Dubai had reached a logical dead end. By locking itself into the premise that every new building had to be a unique formal or structural experiment, he argued, Dubai had become not a paradise for ambitious architects and their engineers but something more like a series of ever-louder action films.

I wonder how much did Steve Jobs lock up Apple's fate the same way. The breathless hype for all Apple's products ultimately doomed Apple's future offerings to the same fate. If it didn't excite audiences as much as the iPhone or the iPad, it wouldn't survive on the Apple ecosystem.

If Apple has been circumspect of late, I attribute part of it to this
I like the idea but the UI really needs work. Wouldn't be included to use it based on how it looks tbh.

I doubt you meant it that way, but it really is a fine way to censor.

How did they cracke discoverability? Some posts are famous and rank higher, I haven't noticed a general rank boost. Also, I have stumbled upon a lot of blogs on own domains that turned out to be Medium hosted. I assume these don't get any advantage on Google?
Not yet. Things we sponsor we always open source. They've always gone further than we ever hoped.
it is good to see some one working on this, because Postgres really comes short when it comes to GUI clients when compared to Mysql.
