I wouldn't mind seeing phones with 2 USB-C connectors instead of USB + headphone jack. If I'm using 3.5mm headphones it takes a dongle anyway, or there are starting to be cheap USB-C headphones, or if I want high sound quality I'd be buying an external DAC anyway so having the USB port open would help. The problem with having only one port on the phone is trying to charge and use the headphones at the same time, which the vast majority of adapters / phones don't support.
You are correct, it is about labor costs.
If that report accurately describes what was going on in 1983, then I can see where radical feminism is historically coming from. Not as excuse for excesses, but as explanation of why some people might support that.

My work experiences were mostly positive. Where I experienced some of those things (like being unable to ask question without having to subsequently fight for control over my task, assumption that I will happily do all simple boring tasks and no interesting ones, etc - reasons why I hate agile setup basically), they take pleasure away from work big time and had me doubt choice of career at some moments.

The part about assuming girl is there to get husband is away entirely. I think it is much more ok for women to be aggressive now. People are less open about prejudice these days too.

Majority of male collegues is absolutely fine.
In summary, work just a notch above your comfort level.
Maybe they should allow people a little time to learn the exact skills needed? These days you need to have done already what you will be doing on the new job. No time for learning anything even if it would take only a few days or weeks to get up to speed. How are people actually learning new stuff?

If Uber had looked for a CEO that way they would have rejected any candidate that hadn't run a fast growing ride sharing company with HR problems and an extremely high valuation and no clear path to profit. They would also complain about not being to find suitable candidates.
more like the art of over-authoring....

writing this article would also fit in the list of ways to waste your time while you're trying to accomplish something else.

you're all idiots.
It is my sincere hope that Americans will at some point realize that they are the only ones that feel this way. Almost everyone else on the planet feels strongly that at least some opinions should be repressed.

These days it's mostly "racist" views, which may or may not actually be racist. For instance, the old leftist view of isolationism and protectionism as a way to defend workers rights worldwide is repressed as racist because it advocates closed borders (for reasons that have nothing whatsoever to do with ethnic or religious differences, but to prevent worker competition from crushing wages).

But various ideas that have somehow acquired protected status are being censor-protected against criticism as well. From religions, quite a few individuals, and even events. In some ways quite successfully.

Since I regularly stay in Paris, for instance, I can tell you that the constant riots and car burnings that were reported for a short while in 2011 are still going strong and it is almost absurdly normal for riots to occur in all the large cities in France, with constant violence, victims and all you'd expect from riots, except it's now a constant part of life. I even hear that the same happens in large neighboring cities, like Brussels. It's beyond absurd how this is reported, reminiscent of how anti-government actions are reported in places like the middle east or Africa. The issue is that, as absurd as it sounds, there is a large-scale mostly-immigrant uprising against the French state constantly happening in France. Reading French or international press, I find this idea absurd, and yet, you can easily go out and see this happen near where I normally stay (as long as you're male).

But this is obviously the new normal, and it mostly makes you wonder what is happening. The government, for it's part, has actually published that they're indeed doing this. Again, it's utterly surreal that this is normal in Western Europe.

Given AwS's leadership in being the world's datacenter, they must purchase enough Intel CPUs to have some say, so I'm surprised we haven't seen Amazon offer of CPUs clocked at 10 GHz.

Home users don't have liquid nitrogen piped into their homes or even really the expertise for hot vs. code aisles, but AWS is building their own datacenters, at which point they could pipe liquid nitrogen in if they chose to. At the scale and concentration to AWS is building at, I certainly hope it leads to faster computers, if not bigger AWS bills.

The way I recall, AWS had to be embarrassed into offering GPU instances rather than taking the lead in, so maybe there's a competitor out there building for speed.

How many market bid values are covered until you go through a vetting process so extended that you can realistically only look at a relatively tiny number bids before making a decision?
Cool idea, though I hope this doesn't turn into a status game - people trying to obtain the "most prestigious" mentors even though they may not actually need the advice or mentorship themselves.
I think they'd be quite happy to undercut Desktop/Mobile Windows in favour of Office. Long term Office may be the most viable product. There are already online and mobile versions that don;t require anything Windows related (they aren't feature complete yet by any means, but that will eventually change).

Even Server Windows to an extent if their other on-prem cache cow (SQL Server) does well on Linux.

Windows is not their core priority these days. The Azure platform is, and Windows is just a part of that which could be swapped out. Maybe Windows will just become a free (though obviously not Free) product, with the money coming in from Azure + SQL + Office.
I recently built a C++ meta-programming monster for a side project. I want to make an article about that in the near future, and I am somewhat afraid that some people might think of reusing it in a real project.

I had a lot of fun doing it, and indeed learnt to not do it in prod, the compiler errors are a nightmare to read and good luck maintaining that in the long run.
That argues against your point. Rural areas in California are voting against their interest regarding water rights and ecology, for example. Digging more wells to deplete non renewable groundwater and draining the rivers to grow almonds is trading the future for the present. Accurately pricing water to respect externalities and long term needs would be more sustainable.
Microsoft make more money from Android than their awful Windows phones.

Personally worked on SCADA systems for powers stations but never on windows, all DEC-Unix and Linux in fact how I got into linux in '97.

My kids both nearly teenagers have known only Linux and Apple (except Windows at schools*).

I recall also how many of those years were hailed as 'Year of the Linux Desktop'.

Also 'Linux' desktop - please people don't forget all the work by unsung heroes on e.g. KDE and Gnome apps, package managers, Drake installers, Compiz and Beryl, getting winmodems working, nvidia drivers, goddamn pulseaudio,... you get my drift.
No... http://norml.org/laws/item/new-york-penalties-2

I mean yes, many cops are corrupt and if you're black and in a poor neighborhood the cops can shoot you for anything, but that doesn't really have to do with marijuana laws specifically.
>rather than focusing on "omg html in my js" you should focus on "omg presentation code in my business logic code" because that's when you realize where the real boundary is.

Just no. many times presentation code is tightly coupled with some desired functionality that drives that presentation. HTML inside JS is just inherently weird. It's one level of counter-intuitiveness to have the HTML set to some variable and put away and referenced further by the var.

It's another level to have html in-line with JS method calls. The two languages just doesn't jive syntactically

Even more, a simple find and replace for "class" to "className", and wrap it in a render function. There, now the HTML is being reused as JSX.
I've been watching this tension grow for a while (otherwise qualified workers unwilling to work for the pay offered). I keep expecting the system to crack and boost pay, and then we'll see some more severe inflation in the US economy as a cycle of product costs go up rather than down. And yet it is stubbornly hanging in as employers try ever more intricate ways to avoid having that cost bump.

It is very much a prisoner's dilemma sort of situation. If one company boosts their pay (and their product prices to cover that pay) then they lose market share. If both boost pay they both make a bit more money as their prices go up simultaneous (no change in market share). If neither boost pay they continue to operate at a restricted level which doesn't allow them to do additional development or increase sales.
Probably a bit more than 35 weeks, if that POSIX control is going to be tested across multiple UNIX variants. :)

Tictail was founded five years ago in Stockholm, Sweden, where the platform was built from the ground up to support independent brands across the world in running their business. Since then Tictail has built a marketplace to support our brands, opened an office in NYC and grown to support hundreds of thousands of brands and millions of products.

Our frontend is built on top of React, Express, and Webpack where we work hard to stay on the bleeding edge.

Above all, we value the right tool for the job.

Who we are looking for:

* You are comfortable moving across, up, down, in and out of the stack - but we don't expect you to be a specialist in everything

* You take pride in your work but care most of all about getting your code in front of users

* You care about building something real – something that helps people all over the world grow their own business from their passion

I think you're operating on some cognitive dissonance here, because you're not addressing the second quote, which shows that Facebook has engaged in such experiments.

Mandatory heads-up for those that haven't come across them: gogs [0] and its fork gitea [1] are zero config, download-and-run, self-hosted alternatives to GitHub/BitBucket/GitLab that won't suck the life out of your server, are efficiently written, and very fast even on underpowered (read: RPi) hardware or shared VPS nodes.

It makes sense upon reflection, but something I thought interesting was how they run linters and static analysis tools in parallel with building. I've been used to build-and-test pipelines where these are done serially, because what's the point in building if the linter fails, and what's the point in static analysis if the build fails? But the point is, they can be done in parallel and that reduces latency of feedback to the developer.
