Could I get your contact information to chat with you more about government contracting? It's a space I'm doing a lot of research in, and very curious to learn more about!
This is a good point, it depends on the job however. Product focus might not be necessary. I've had job interviews where they were concerned that I wouldn't be happy due to not having any control/input over the product.
Interviewers aren't developers. Just keep it on GitHub and don't mention it. If it is mentioned, say you are interested in the deep software improvements that games require

This is a great point. I see Vue and I like what I see. However, the difference with React was that it was a big step up from everything that came before it. Vue is more of an evolution and not a revolution in front end dev. If it's better than React, it's marginally better...and that marginal benefit is offset by the massive ecosystem and developer mindshare that React has accrued over the years.
There was a chart I saw online of the 10 or 20 fastest 100m times in history. Every single one had a line through it (indicating steroids), except for the handful that were Bolt's. Including 3 times directly below his WR.

> Why were you and your friends raised in a different non-ghetto culture? Agreed, it has absolutely nothing to do with genes. Rather, it has everything to do with extreme white racism, which includes refusal to acknowledge what has been created by a history of 400 years of vicious slave labor camps which were the source of a large part of our wealth and privilege, a culture of white supremacy that is the most extreme in the world, beyond South Africa, as comparative studies have shown, and very powerful effects right to the present moment. Including what is sometimes called “intentional ignorance”.

>Average people don't take creative jobs.

Hi! Average person with a creative job here. I'm good at my work (writing) but am otherwise not creative at all. I do it for money, stop thinking about it at 5PM, and that's it.

I come home, watch TV, and exercise. I have no interest in creativity except that people will pay me for it.

Taxi companies didn't have a great reputation before uber, though. Stories abound of long and circuitous routes, "broken" credit card readers and surly drivers. I'm not sure I've heard of too many cases of great customer service (though of course people talk more about negative experiences). It's also certainly true that Uber did not innovate on the model of "independent contractors" that do the actual driving.

I see a couple of possibilities. One is that the corruption in cab companies is similar to that in other industries, which people also smear (e.g. finance), and ridesharing PR plays that up. Another thought is that their "local" sketchiness (unclean cars, shady drivers) gives a sort of halo effect, so people are more willing to believe stories of in deeper corruption.

I guess they also tend to be (at least marginally) involved in local politics (to the extent that any local business is going to lobby local politics), and local politics tends to be more corrupt.
Started startup with extremely high expectations of me and bad partner. Had 9-5 work as software engineer I threw myself on the startup working after hours till exhaust. I decided to do something to relax - started crossfit. Once I just collapsed on the street and after that I had extremely bad panic attacks and near death feels. Didn't know that it was panic attacks and clinical depression at the moment, thought maybe some internal organ damage. Took me 3 separate 1-month admissions to hospital and 3.5 years of taking anti-depressants to recover.
It did change my outlook on life, first of all I shifted my priorities to health first and work - second, I'm trying to stay out of the stress and taking care of my body(running, gym, meditation, yoga) everything that helps. Ever since then I don't things too serious, and I don't wanna ever work till exhaust. I know it's sounds cheesy but listen to your body and be healthy.
Also it takes a lot to admit that you are in depression, and seek medical attention to that.
If you wake up every morning and the only thing that you want is to go to sleep because you can't embrace new day - you are in depression. If your personality changed out of the sudden - you are in depression. If you don't have any thoughts in your head only feeling of worries - you are in depression.
The assumption is that social consensus works but is slow, so can be effective for determining which coins were deposited for staking three months in the past, since the social consensus process would have had three months to arrive at that determination.

Individuals would likely use different means of arriving at this consensus, from public forums, to having personal lists of trusted nodes that their node polls, to referring to well known public blockchain explorers. And of course, if their own node was online three months ago, it wouldn't have to trust anyone.
Not a bad move at all!
Games and their creation are one of the most creative tasks to accomplish in my experience, therefore highly regarded (as i came to know).

Sociological question for anyone willing to answer, why is it seen as a "bad skill" in Italy?
That's why there's PropTypes so you can define what type a given prop should be. An error is raised if a higher level component passes in a prop of an incorrect type.
For examples that go against this idea, check out the work of Maurice Sendak, Julia Donoldson or the cartoon Sarah & Duck, all of which can give any kids imagination a run for its money!
I absolutely love it when potential hires have developed games in their spare time.
Firstly it shows that they program outside of work which suggests they really love programming and aren't just clock punchers.
Secondly it shows that they are the kind of person who can complete a non trivial project purely through intrinsic motivation.
Finally games can be pretty technically challenging so if you can make something half decent you probably know what you are doing.
Any company that looks down on you for writing games is probably not going to be a fun place to work.

> it's amazingly slow to browse the stores and much of the dashboard

Same, my PS4 can take up to a few minutes to load store pages. And sometimes it just hangs, or times out, and I need to quit the app and try again. It's really not a good experience at all.
Given that statute affecting everyday life has grown to a scale that nobody, not even lawyers or even judges, can study and apply it consistently; it's hard to say how anyone could be expected to apply it. The great majority of laws on the books are not intuitive either.

Honestly I end up wondering how the legal system functions at all.
Is it just me, or does this paper lack any real "meat"?!
Yeah, you are right, I was mostly referring to the performance part. If you need native UI elements or native UI interaction it's harder to do that in a HTML5 app.

I mostly worked on games, where the UI is custom and there are very few similarities to the UI of the OS, so it worked pretty good.
> In either case, it appear that humans have specifically evolved for throwing, with most of the energy coming from the shoulders, not from long or cord-like tendons.

that's not really true. as someone who can throw a baseball quite fast, you really want relaxed shoulders. tense shoulders are a great way to get injured.

from my experience throwing, most of the throwing power is generated from the hips. then it comes up your lats on your back which generates a whipping motion through the shoulder. you want this energy transfer from the hips to the arm to be as smooth as possible, hence loose shoulders. near the end of the throw, the triceps and then forearm engage to complete the whip. other than knowing this from throwing, it's pretty easy to know because these are the muscles that are sore when i haven't thrown in a long while.
Well, personally I have no problem supporting highly sought after jobs in China, and industries that have helped raise hundreds of millions of people out of poverty and transformed the country into a modern advanced nation. If you'd seen what China was like the first time I went in 2001 and saw it again today, you might understand.
I like JSX.
I'm not a Vue user but I can't see how they would be type checkable without using JSX.

For the Angular 1 project, I'm thinking as a stepping stone we could introduce JSX templates before migrating to Vue or React later.
Being Italian myself it makes me both angry and sad reading about what you experienced in your interviews.

Beside what many already mentioned (developing games is actually quite complex, so keep doing that and don't hide it!) I'd suggest you to take a look at developer jobs around Europe. I'm working as a developer in Berlin and I can tell you there are a lot of great opportunities here if you are willing to relocate. Feel free to get in touch if you need anything! Buona fortuna!
This was the comment that initially made me kind of shrug the article. It's like Javascript can't win. It is either moving to fast or moving to slow. Anyone who has been working with Javascript for the past couple of years (JS exclusively, not the ecosystem) would never say that the language itself is moving slowly.

As much as these features might "bloat" the language, they provide some much needed and much desired elegance.
Aaaand it begins
Although I haven't been in the industry for what others may call a long time, I feel that after working at a few large enterprises, this is something that upper management should read and understand in order to better relate to those actually performing the development of projects.

Agile is the newest and most widespread buzzword in my current role and its practices are being shoved down every team's throat. Those who adopt look like better performing teams to management and become the favorite and most flaunted teams so much to be idolized by others.

Meanwhile some of the smartest and proven teams are clearly producing immense value, and ignore a lot of new methodology mumbo jumbo to continue operating the way they have been for years.

It's an interesting dynamic, and I believe this paper captured a lot of what I've been experiencing, but was unable to convey into words.
Side effects and testability. Two way binding is great for simple forms, if you have like a dozen or so variables on a page? Two way binding is awesome and allows you to write very terse code and logic.

If you start adding dynamic forms, multiple developers, unit tests, and advanced interactive application logic, then you are left with a spaghetti code mess (with 2-way binding). The problems really creep up when you start adding observables or watchers, which watch a particular variable for changes. If you two way bind a UI element with a controller variable, and then have watchers or observables on that variable...it is now no longer clear what side effects you're triggering as your interacting with that UI element. Wonky things can and will happen to you as your app's complexity grows.
I had a similar experience there. There were parts of the company that seemed like they sucked, but my experience was only positive and put me in a position to learn a ton from strong engineers while building my skills up and making a good amount of money. When I started, I made less than some of my friends who chose startups, but two years out of college I was making more than almost anybody I knew.

I might not have worked on my passion in specific there, but I had a great time, learned a ton, and IMO set myself up for a great trajectory in my career.

Like most other large companies, YMMV depending on where you're at.

> intentionally blocking nodes signaling Segwit2x in 0.15 is definitely a political move

This is incorrect. There was a straightforward technical reason given in the pull request -- not enacting this change would likely partition the bitcoin network when the split happens. A network partition could be a drastic event that if exploited would result in much lost money and bankruptcy.

How many interviewers for software development jobs in Europe do even know what a Github portfolio is (serious question)? The developers will at least know what Github is. But the idea of having a Github portfolio or developing software for fun and for free is definitely a foreign concept for many. I wouldn't mention this at all when interviewing for a position in normal (boring) corporation in Europe.
On Windows, like other modern operating systems, a driver is supposed to do only the minimum amount of work possible in the interrupt handler, to avoid this problem. The real work is supposed to happen later when it can be scheduled.
This didn't happen to me and I'd like to think I'm being objective here - the dialog says:

> Are you sure you wish to discard ALL changes? This is IRREVERSIBLE!

Yes, very scary, like many warnings that some systems teach us to ignore.

It doesn't say what "changes" will be discarded. Are those the changes it made since the IDE was installed? Did the IDE make changes? Some kind of project files or directories? Some kind of setup? Is a novice supposed to know this?

Even on the home-grown IDE I use at work, it saves backups in a trash area when you delete files in case you accidentally delete something you don't intend to. (Actually, I got very concerned once thinking I had deleted something I hadn't committed yet... as I recall it was a false alarm, but I was pleased that my concern was misplaced.)

And given that a lot of other people have experienced this, I'd say there is evidence that this is a UX (User eXperience) problem, not necessarily a PEBCAK (Problem Exists Between Chair and Keyboard):

Just trade it with that in mind. Bad news for commodities typically means a constriction in the supply with the same amount of demand. Price goes up, just like with oil or orange juice prices.

People thinking about bitcoin like a company's stock or the stock market contribute to why they can't comprehend the train wreck to all time high prices.

Hopefully there will be good ways to go bearish by the time Coinbase enables Bitcoin Cash.
What I disagree with first and foremost is your claim that Go is not an alternative for JVM/.NET languages and hence shouldn't be compared to them.

All of these languages are direct competitors in a number of areas today (Web backends, infrastructure services, database systems) and based on language/runtime capabilities (as opposed to cultural and library availability) I see almost no area where there is no potential overlap in the future.

Also, what a language is currently used for and what it is good for are two completely different things. There was a time when Java was mostly used for Applets and desktop user interfaces. It wasn't good at either.
I used to be contacted by Amazon a lot around 4 years ago, to work with their data science team. At the time I was busy helping build up a startup (and a data science team), so always turned them down, I always put my people first. The startup turned out to be quite profitable, they are up and kicking nowadays, I am very proud of my time with them.

Nowadays I am looking for a new permanent position (have been freelancing for a couple of years). My wife happens to be a headhunter and knows how most HR and internal recruitment teams think and work. She tells me with Amazon in my CV many more doors would open. I don't regret turning them down, I know for sure had I accepted to work with them I would have never met my wife, who brings me more joy than any job would ever do... But I can't help to wonder...

Can you elaborate? What kind of partition are you referring to? Thanks.
With that in mind, it makes one wonder why more bay area companies aren't making use of remote resources.
I think people should be paying more attention to the declarative views that React gives us. There’s no reason we couldn’t implement React in Swift and get a lot of the benefits of both approaches with few of the downsides. We wouldn’t have the fast iteration time but it could still be a great option.

I'm not convinced - biocompatibility is a bitch. Whenever someone tears e.g. an UCL or an ACL, there are no options other than transplanting in a human graft, either taken from the patient (often parts of the hamstring) or from a corpse.

I feel like a broken record, but definitely take a look at create-react-app if you haven't already. Its extremely well documented and takes care of managing the 20+ dev dependencies that are typically associated with a project.
Agreed. But be assured that there are more in the middle ground than there appear on the surface.
Social consensus is vulnerable to the formation of factions, and only works when everyone is actually united. As we've seen from the 2-party US political system to the bch/segwit/segwit2x factions of Bitcoin, achieving social consensus around something is rare.

I personally would not want to use social consensus to determine the result of chain turbulence caused by a weakness in the consensus code. If we are going to fall back on social strategies, haven't we forgone the biggest advantage of blockchain in the first place? (the ability to know the state of consensus without needing to trust anyone)
