I don't think the XKCD really applies here, at least in my interpretation. This was more like a mystery that everyone worked together to solve rather productively.

To me, the XKCD represents pointlessly arguing over random stuff while not making any productive points. Come to think of it, perhaps I'm falling foul of it again as I type...

>Apple is already being beaten on many fronts, smartphones included.

Not if you're measuring profits and not just sales. They're still the dominant manufacturer by far. But maybe I'm just being pedantic.

Otherwise, I pretty much agree with all of this. The article comes across as hyperbolic to me as well.
To begin with, I would learn and come to grips with the syntax of a beginner-friendly language. Then, put to use what you’ve learned by trying to solve some beginner exercises. For example, you may want to take a look at https://github.com/karan/Projects and a recent discussion about the same at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14481941.

Get yourself familiar with some algorithms and data structures. Personally I benefited a lot from Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures using Python: http://interactivepython.org/runestone/static/pythonds/index....

Learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript, some popular code libraries, a web framework, and a database language.

After the above, I would choose to work on a problem of my own. Think of something interesting and start building it. Start with something small. When you’re stuck on something, seek help.

Last but not least, find another serious learner and learn things together. You could also look for a mentor that’s willing to help.

Hope that helps.

Cash can mostly be tracked unless you just trade with black/grey market sellers. Adding RFID to notes and mandating readers on cash registers would already be feasible.

This is getting more off topic, but what made you confident in the startup that you were joining? You said you were the first employee, so there's a high amount of unknown variables at that company's stage.

The median "startup scene" outcome for a typical person is to be 30 with 5 short-term jobs, zero net worth, and wondering if it's too late to get into a real stable career. Picking a startup that will "take off" and earns high valuation sounds like a time-costly numbers game at this point.
Awesome response!

Totally agree with you that maybe it doesn't get into the nitty gritty of what it takes. I actually broke this down in the 2nd part of the article (https://www.deekit.com/how-do-i-find-a-remote-job-part-2/).

The point about the global talent pool competition is valid. My thinking on that would be to leverage what you have going for you.

For me, I was an native English speaker wanting to work with an Estonian startup. I had a native language advantage. So there are always ways to get ahead of those you're up again.

Like the idea of offering value before being asked for it!
I've been using longform.org Its a manually curated list by a group that cares about the art of journalism, and highlights the best pieces of longform journalism in the press on a feed.

I've found the accuracy of the pieces to be far higher than most other sources. I'm guessing a lot of that has to do with the fact that in order for a journalist to write a 20 page report on a topic, they have to research it a whole lot better than writing another 2 paragraph summary for some online editorial. That, and only the better publishers tend to be able to afford such research, and they tend to have higher standards.

Different things work for different people. My wife and I exercise very regularly, but the way in which we stay motivated and on track are very different.
Let's say you take 6 months to find the competitive, ideal option. And you get an extra $20K in salary, going from say $100K to $120K (remote). So you sacrificed $50K in opportunity cost.

End of year 1: job A $100k, job B $60K

End of year 2: job A $200k, job B $180K

End of year 3: job A $300k, job B $300K

Of course if it's a startup, the odds are high that it would fold within three years. So unless it's a BigCo job that you are planning on sticking with... it's tough for me to make the argument that it's worth it to walk away from a decent but non-ideal offer. Employers know this and use this as leverage against you.

I'm by no means going to support government attempts to ban encryption, but assuming 100% virtuous purposes (e.g.: counter-terrorism efforts), I can understand why they think this will work. I mean, they think that passing laws on guns and drugs will stop those things.

The fundamental problem is that the government and the public do not understand that powerful encryption will exist forever now. The cat is out of the bag, and the bag has disintegrated. You can't ban the ideas, and you can't stop them from being implemented in the shadows. Even worse for them, there's nothing physical to find. You can't train a dog to sniff out encrypted data. Banning it now only hurts honest uses, like protecting financial transactions and medical records.
Personally I'd keep Microsoft included, they're killing it with services now. Especially amongst enterprise consumers.

Part of what we see as "human intelligence" comes from our biological origins. For example, intelligence AND emotions drive our actions: ambition, empathy, fear, greed, jealousy, love, etc. They are survival and reproductive mechanisms built into our brains based on the human condition.

My response to the theory that an all-powerful computer intelligence will one day have us at it's whim is why would it even care? For the same reason it lacks empathy, it would also lack any ambition or fear or jealousy.

The bigger risk is relying too much on A.I. built for very specific purposes (ANI). A contrived example would be putting A.I. in charge of managing the nuclear arsenal. A bug in the A.I. that caused a pre-emptive strike could wipe out all life on earth.
A simple solution to this would be to simply limit the number of times one can log in and out per day to something reasonable, or to place limits on the frequency etc.
That's what you get when the government pays 3/4 of private companies in salary. When you pay peanuts you get monkeys as they saying goes.

Also any type of consultancy work would probably have to go through "offentlig upphandling" which means the government puts out a proposal of what they want done and companies bid with the contract going to the lowest bidder. However someone has to formulate the requirements and that ends up going back on the original PM. Oh, and since the contract goes to the lowest bidder, what did you get when you payed peanuts?

You should play around with Pharo if you have some free time. It's a completely different way of doing things (and a lot of fun). Indeed, what you've described of Delphi is not happening in a Smalltalk: there's no difference between the thing you are programming inside of and the end product (at least not right away).

It's easier to think of a Smalltalk image as a live system that you are configuring (using Smalltalk itself) for some end-user or goal. Because a Smalltalk image is simply a snapshot of the state of the whole system, you can use a development image to generate a more bare-bones, customer image/application if you so choose. In other words, you can configure a Smalltalk image however you want for a client. This would be the equivalent of the kind of "compiling" that creates a usable end product. You are manipulating a live system and configuring it for some purpose rather than describing a system in text files, compiling it, and then giving it to people to use.

On a technical level, you are compiling all of the time when working in a Smalltalk. Every time you save, the changes recompile and execute, live, as instantly as these things can.

Of course this means that Smalltalk is highly self-aware, and therefore there can be / are some of the IDE features you've listed. One of my favorites is the ability to provide example inputs and example outputs and see recommended objects/messages and implement the method for doing it. It probably exists in other Java IDEs or something, but I've never seen it elsewhere myself.

Having been using BTRFS at home for years, i get the exact opposite impression... I've had bugs (kernel panics) that just disappear on the next update. I'm happy with the RAID1 ease of use. But even there, like some have said, manual scrub/balance--which is still nice to have--indicates a design flaw.

If I was in ops I would not use btrfs on anything but lab experiments... if i can get hardware RAID, then I can blame the vendor and the equipment

"Not compatible" is just another way of saying "we don't have the resources and/or the inclination to support your programs". Look at what Microsoft does to ensure backward compatibility. They simulate specific windows bugs for specific old games that were coded to expect the original bug in Win95. Just so users' programs keep working. It's a matter of priorities and resources. And I believe both are out of whack at Mozilla right now.
Any notable changes, or what do you take note of?
I live in Vancouver, can confirm. Maybe after a significant liquidity event or two pumps some capital into the local ecosystem, but at present there are few (if any) world class tech companies here and despite the incredibly high and fast rising cost of living, wages are actually the lowest of any major Canadian city. Sure its a desirable place to live, but few world class talents are going to relocate here to work for second or third tier companies, for 50% less than they'd make in other markets, when a 30% more of their salary will be going to housing costs. Vancouver is a real-estate city, not a tech city and likely always will be.
This is rich coming from Google. If only they put a fraction of the time they put into this into the Android SDK they'd have a much better product.

People are downvoting my comment for some reason.

The whole premise of "binary javascript AST" is "compile JavaScript into binary representation because bundle sizes are just too big and takes too much time to parse".

Isn't WebAssembly designed to kinda solve that and many other problems presented in the Readme among other things? Instead of parsing JS (or whatever language) you just download binary (which has been compiled, optimised etc.).

So, instead of designing webassembly to support the most important language on the web, the committee (as always, there's an effing committee to committee the hell out of things) designs webassembly with just one single language in mind: C++. Because reasons.

Hence, this ridiculous proposal: oh, let's create a binary representation of Javascript AST because reasons. Because "oh, we can't compile to webassembly because webassembly hasn't even been designed to support the main language on the web and many other major languages".

Instead, we're just going for the lame excuse of "no vendor would agree to ship bytecode." (why would they agree to ship binary ASTs?) and "there is no guarantee that it would be any faster to transmit/parse/start" (where's the guarantee with binary AST?).

"Web Developer" Chrome Extension Infected with Adware
The "Web Developer" extension (ID bfbameneiokkgbdmiekhjnmfkcnldhhm) has started injecting ads into websites. It looks like Google has since removed it from the their listings, but unfortunately that doesn't help people who already have it installed[1].

You may want to check to see if you have it installed so you can remove it.

Rewarding and Employing Teachers Based on Their Value-Added (2014)
"If you really want to own a stock that gives you no profits, no income from dividends, no voice in how its run, and actually no value what so ever other than the greater fool theory then go ahead."

While I see you sentiment here, I don't think it's actually correct. Non-voting common stock will receive distributions if any cash is left over after a liquidation and debt, preferred and high-ranked common stock holders are paid (i.e. there is a real claim on assets). Also, with any common stock that doesn't pay dividends, the reason to hold is the promise of dividends (and/or buybacks) when the company does not have any more avenues for investing excess income. This is true for non-voting shares as well.
Good, but my point was that people on HN were generally in support of Canadian censorship.
> this "math" of yours

(this is a joke, but the point is reasonable)
What do you mean by one chance to re-mirror? Does this mean that if the resilver fails you can't try it again? Is this documented? With ZFS or regular RAID as long as you have one good disk in the mirror you can resilver, is this not the case for BTRFS? If so this is quite disappointing.

There's a reason my server is running ZFS on FreeBSD. I also love jails, which let me have as many virtual servers as I want without any virtualization overhead.
Of course, I should have figured that our censorship was for good reasons, but not Chinese censorship. After all, copyright interests are clearly worth censoring for, but whatever excuse the Chinese government used (State interests?) aren't.

It's often hard to have this discussion without it devolving into an argument over "political correctness" [0] so hopefully that can be avoided.

Easiest answer is that the term retarded originally was an acceptable term for people with disabilities, but now has a negative connotation, and when used pejoratively as OP did carries the (possibly unintended) implication that people with disabilities are of less value.

I think Wikipedia entry on Retard (pejorative) [1] is a good summary.

It's also worth mentioning "ableist language" and "ableism" here. [2]

I was making the point that even stocks that don't pay dividends are still valuable in so much as the company and its assets are valuable.

Your comments are all about the relative value of a stock versus other alternative investments. I don't disagree with anything you wrote.

The point I was trying to make – and I have a good bit of experience now that it's either a really subtle point or it's so wrong (or 'not even wrong') that no one knows how to address it 'directly' – is that, given a stock that:

1. "gives you no profits"
2. Provides "no income from dividends" [Note that this is a separate item in the comment to which I originally replied!]
3. Provides "no voice in how its [company is] run"

The stock is still 'valuable' – apart from any value due to "the greater fool theory".

What I was not claiming is that stock is a 'good value' or a sound investment at its current price(s). I was claiming that if, e.g. someone gave you shares, you shouldn't (necessarily) give them away to someone else. Maybe you have no use for a shovel, or a house somewhere where you neither live nor travel to, but they're not literally of no value even tho you wouldn't buy them yourself at whatever price you could find.
