Many of the psychological issues can be overcome by not giving a flying fuck about what others think about you.

My father died when I was 17 years old and my brother was 18 years old. My mother became an alcoholic and for the next 5 or 6 years I saw her sober less than 10 times. There were days in a row when we didn't had what to eat. She prioritized alcohol, cigarettes and coffee over food.

We were so poor that my brother got ill of tuberculosis from the lack of food. I was luckier because I used to eat at my ex girlfriend (present wife). The clothes I got were usually gifts received from my girlfriend. I was wearing the same pants months in a row, daily, until they got holes in them.

But I don't remember being stressed about what others thought about me and that made my whole adolescence beautiful. I wasn't even aware that somebody would notice that I wore the same clothes every day. Until one day a girl in my high school told me "these are some nice pants that you have, too bad that you're wearing only those". It hurt me, but I got over it fast thinking "how does this concerns you anyway?" and kept wearing them, because I didn't had others. And my main teacher once told me "you look good wearing other colors than black". While the black shirts were the only ones I got, until I received that light colored one. And I took that as a compliment - she just told me that I was looking good after all.

The positive part of being extremely poor for about 7 years is that I got really fed up with poorness and I do my best to never going back.

Fast forward 15 years after finishing high school, I am a software developer with 11 years experience, working remotely for a US company and I think my earnings put me somewhere in the top 1% earners in Romania. Since I started to work for this company, I didn't took a single vacation (with a few exceptions of 1-2 days off), because I feel it's the opportunity of my life time and I want to make as much as possible out of it. While I got 9-to-5 jobs I always tried to learn new things and had side projects and I was somehow baffled why the majority of my programmer colleagues weren't interested in something similar.

So, there are positive things in anything if we really try to find them. And a positive attitude makes the difference between feeling miserable and feeling ... normal, or even being happy. I think that my years of poorness increased my motivation and desire to succeed in life drastically, but it's definitely not an experience I would encourage someone to try.

It's important to note that Oracle can't do this on their own. The IP of the specs is with the spec lead so every spec lead has to agree to a transfer of their IP.
The point that's being made is that, indeed, as private entities they have the right to ban this content from their sites.

But due to the SIZE of these operations, their actions practically amount to censorship.

Saying that the right of free speech only protects you against the government does not mean much in practice, in these circumstances.

I'm extremely lucky as I have an office with a door. Most days I take a very short nap. It can be as short as 6 minutes but I like it to be 12 to 18 minutes. I drink a 1/2 cup of coffee before I nap most days. After darkening my space, I sit upright in my chair, close my eyes and nap. I use a android timer app and can glance at it with it if needed. I do find that most days I go out for a few mins, glance at the timer, out again till I get the amount I need in. I can turn around to my desk and be productive almost instantly after that short break.

My workspace nap time is usually between 1:30PM and 3:00PM.

On some days when I can't nap or don't I am foggy for the rest of the work day. On days when I nap this feeling is gone.

I 63 years old and love naps anyway. On the weekend I can nap in the corner of the couch for 20 to 30 mins sitting up. I used to be a road (plane) warrior and traveled for work 45 to 50 weeks a year. I had to learn to sleep wherever, like airports, on the plane, etc. So now I can sleep anywhere most days.

For example if I go to the doctor's office and have a long wait I can tap a nap if my body says it wants one.

My team is a team of 2 and they work in an open space outside of my door. They seem to like it a lot but they respect each others need to be quiet.

We work with another dev/creative team that is in an open office and is 8 people and they hate the open space. Everyone has headphones on but phone calls and visitors disrupt the quiet. Sometimes one of them comes to my open space and sits at one of the tables to get some quiet time in.

As someone who worked with outsourced IT services companies, I highly recommend you to join product based companies. Most of the work done by Indian body shops are not great,they focus on managing legacy codes and some maintenance works.

If I get a time-machine, I'll go back in time and avoid the mistake of joining services-based IT companies. :-)

The problem with warning messages is that people will often still just click through them. Someone WILL 100% still click through it and then complain. This is the problem with power tools. They can be very convenient and useful to users who know what they're doing, but harmful to users who are just clicking buttons.

Then you have the option of just saying "you're an idiot" or developing a safety net around the feature so the action can be undone.
Yeah, it's like Lisp macros. Actually, Elixir code is AST+sugar as https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/syntax-reference.html shows.
I do not agree. Many people just do enough to get by or say get promoted. I would hazard saying most.

It is a rare person that really wants to do best and they are typically not rewarded for it. Especially when they don't get rewarded.
I'm not an expert, but I think it's because c++ is _heavy_. Start using a few features like genetics and suddenly your binary and compile times grow substantially. You only need to look at chrome to see this happening.

Tools like Qt+QML are, in my experience, just as efficient in terms of development time, but much more computationally and memory efficient than a typical electron application. I'm not saying that you can't make electron run efficiently, just that it takes more work and therefore since most teams optimise for development rather than computation, the end result is that electron is (again in my personal experience) typically less computationally/memory efficient. It also helps that in QML javascript is typically used only as non-performance-critical glue code and the rest (and the framework itself) is in C++ and the GUI rendering is in OpenGL.
How to Be Better at Reading
I think the question is more likely: should an operation like this be possible at all? VSCode already gives you a big warning (as shown in the issue) that "discarding changes" is irreversible but it does not explain what "discarding changes" means.

When people empty their recycle bin they kind of understand what is going to happen. Discarding changes speaks to me but evidently not to this person. Personally I tend to put my code in Dropbox in early stages as git commits do not make much sense (of course one can squash everything and do a rebase but that is advanced git already).

You do have white privilege. White privilege isn't being treated better because of your race, it's not being treated worse.

White privilege is not remembering the last time you were pulled over for nothing.

White privilege is not being afraid of the police.

White privilege is getting let off with a warning.

White privilege is expecting to be judged on your merits.

White privilege is getting the benefit of the doubt.

White privilege is having a family that got to use the GI bill.

White privilege is having a family that was able to build a little bit of generational wealth from government housing policy.

White privilege is thinking racism is over.

White privilege is starting at 0 when the rich kids start at 50 and black kids start at -15.
I have a Hisense TV and it's pretty good - 50", 4k, £400 - I can't complain. I don't know what Sharp is like in the US but over here they've always been a middling brand so amused to see that they think their supposedly good name is being ruined. Sharp TVs have always been mediocre!
Depends for electron. First, 4 years old computers will feel the difference. Second, if your app is started a lot, the startup time will add up and be annoying. Third, if your app stays open a long time and you have several of them, they will end up eating from that 1Gb of RAM. It's really a bummer on low end computer. I got 32Gb of ram so I don't care, but my browser has 8. So if you have skype, chrome, thunderbird and an editor open, the new apps being electron or not will make a big difference.
Five Ways Nomadic Consumers Can Benefit from Technology

For some fun reading, 357 CVEs in the linux kernel in 2017, 191 of them remote root, 95%+ of the total in closed source ARM drivers. (basicly everying labeled broadcomm and qualcomm).

For those keeping score, 2017 ALONE has produced 1/3rd of the linux kernel vulnerabilities ever observed.

We need to demand vendors do better.
Yes, I have heard of transfer learning and used them in practice. Very powerful but still primitive.
One-shot learning techniques are still to mature but I agree with you that technologies like these will reduce our reliance on datasets and make the AI algorithms learn in more human like way.

"This document was created with a newer version of Sketch. Please upgrade to the latest version and try again."

I bloody hate this idiotic approach of licensing. I have Sketch 43 and because my license expired, I cannot upgrade to 44 and there is no backward compatibility between versions. Basically Sketch is forcing me to pump up yet another lump of money.
I think that the first lesson that he should learn is the need for regular backups.

In fact, I am not even sure he meant to use git ("I hadn't commited any of them to any repository"). If it that's the case, I would understand why he did such a mistake:

* Open the folder in VS Code

* Explore around, discover the Git tab on the left, "This workspace isn't yet under git source control", press the button

* "Whops, I didn't want to do this", check around and see that there is a button to "clean the changes"

* Destroy 5000 files by mistake.

In any case, I don't understand why developer oriented tools rarely take into account the fact that developers too make mistakes, and they should have the ability to undo them. This is especially true with Git, where the UI is in my opinion particularly convoluted and error prone.

Edit 2:
"FBI officials point to multiple specific accusations of wrongdoing by Kaspersky, such as a well-known instance of allegedly faking malware."

Ok, if they are bringing that incident up, this really does mean they have nothing and are grasping at straws. This is referring to a time when Kaspersky trolled competitors who were stealing their signatures, and they made some fake detections. It's the antivirus equivalent of "Trap Streets" used by mapmakers. It doesn't create any kind of back door or weakness.
Also, there's the basic fact that most travelers have zero idea how much legroom they'll have (or not have in this case) until they're actually in their seat. It's bait and switch, and varies not just from airline to airline, but from plane to plane. If consumers actually knew they'd have no legroom, and then chose that option, that would be one thing, but they don't know.

I'm 6'3", with long upper legs, so this is a serious issue for me. It's torturous to fly... literally. Either I don't fly, or pay extortionate sums to upgrade.

Airlines should be forced to put the legroom space on the ticket and required to honor it. I bet things would be much different if consumers knew how badly they were getting fucked over in clear detail.
Yep, last Delta domestic flight I booked together with my girlfriend, we checked in a few hours before we got to the airport and got "see attendant" seats. We had to beg at the gate for two seats together. The ones they gave us were both middle seats in different rows. Pretty ridiculous for how expensive these were, and how Delta is now the exclusive non-stop service for the route we were taking.

I've been working primarily in Elixir for the past 3 or so years after being in enticed by erlangs beam capabilities and spending time on there. Love the language.
As someone working across JVM, .NET, C++, Android and iOS, I don't have any use case for Elixir.

If I ever would need BEAM, Erlang would be quite ok, given that I was quite comfortable with Prolog in the past and do like the syntax.

Hence why I kind of see it as BEAM for Ruby developers, even if I am way off what is actually happening on the BEAM world.
In the near-term (10-15 years), fortunately, the Supreme Court is very likely to shield freedom of speech from this latest cultural assault.

The primary question is what direction the authoritarian types will attack it from legally / politically. The main vehicle has to be the intentionally vague hate speech approach, which they've been readying and building up for decades. To regulate it into action, they'll have to argue the Internet (the primary medium that matters now) is under FCC broadcast control just as with traditional radio and broadcast TV. Then they'll task any Internet content publishing platforms with obeying and enforcing the new hate speech limitations. Those new rules will vary with the political winds and be aggressively abused by each administration and major political shift in DC. It'll become a form of shifting thought terror brought down upon the American people (what can/can't I express changing every 4 to 8 years); by the time the public realizes what has happened, it'll be far too late, their speech - their last line of defense - will be gone.
I don't know if I buy into that as a line of reasoning. I'm ostensibly an INFP and I actually love problem-solving (hence being a programmer). When I work from home I am motivated to work for a number of reasons:

- It's interesting / challenging

- A sense of duty / professionalism

- A sense of teamwork / camaraderie

This is entirely anecdotal of course. I also will often head to a cafe to get some 'human/ambient' time (another motivator). Being at home can be lonely.

I've been using Yubikey as my 2-nd factor password source for years. It's great. I would have even thrown away second factor if yubikey could have unlocked macos FileVault.

What's 2-nd factor password? Well, basically yubikey stores just long text string, and another, shorter string, is stored in my brain. When i login i enter short string, then press yubikey.

To steal my data you don't only need to steal yubikey but also get my part of the password from me.
This is why I hate the business side of business.

Especially in startup, it seems like they're always looking for way to get their investor to invest more. There are many cases where I thought it being so shady.

There's also shrinking core group of users, who liked Firefox before it fell back on many areas, crippled by having to maintain compatibility with add-ons that relied on internal workings. We realize that very well.

Configurability comes with an exponential testing and maintenance burden. So no, it's not just adding a few checkboxes. It's what happens with those afterwards.

Yes, there's degrees of poor ... poor all the way down.

This struck a chord with me:

Being poor is stopping the car to take a lamp from a stranger’s trash.

I've been poor enough in my life that dumpster diving was appealing and I'm glad I'm not now, but at least in my scenario there was a dumpster to dive into.

I spent some time by Lake Malawi there a couple of years ago and they don't even have dumpsters. Bottle-caps, and waste-paper from the (foreign aid funded) health clinic are valuable raw materials for whatever local craft industries there are. Being poor means these dodgy strangers showing up and splashing money around and who then start making inappropriate advances on the children.

But even along the lake they are privileged by having access to water and whatever tourism industry there is.

Away from the lake, being poor means not having clothes. Being poor means a minor injury is a death sentence.

Some of our philanthropist billionaires get some flack for the manner and means by which they distribute their aid, but a friend of mine working as a pharmacist there would just say "thank god for Bill Gates".

I wish airlines made business class cheaper, and slightly worse:

- Reduce the seat pitch a bit, say by 10%.

- Make the seat narrower by an inch or two.

- Get rid of the perks, like priority check-in and priority boarding. And the occasional promotions, like a Mercedes to pick you up at home.

- Give me the same meal and baggage allowance as premium economy.

- Have one fewer flight attendant.

More of us will be able to afford such a business class.

There's currently too huge a gap between (premium) economy and business. It's almost as if you can travel by a bullock cart or a BMW, with no options in between.

Do you really think single-payer healthcare (versus the individual mandate in ObamaCare) was ever going to pass in the US? Obama literally adopted a Republican proposal for how to improve healthcare coverage, and the Republicans have spent every year since railing against it.

As someone who's pretty far to the left, I don't see how a (fiscally) far-left candidate/party would make any progress in the US. The centre is just so damn skewed towards "individual responsibility" and other bullshit that voters apparently love.
