I see nothing terrible with people wanting to make a big deal out of handing you (tens?) of millions of dollars and getting thanked.

If this was Hollywood, instead of a ceremony, there'd be a "casting couch."

The only real issue is whether you can search for, and publish results that are the opposite of the hand that feeds. And as Google recently proved, that is a problem.

What seems like you're actually annoyed by, is having to wade through comments and content that were never intended for you. (Pro-tip: Skip ahead.) I mean, should we also get mad at PBS saying "this program was brought to you by the X, Y, Z, and Viewers Like You?"?

Is the issue one of "length" or "content?" Because as I've shown, PBS does the same content and nobody complains. And if it's length, yeah, it's annoying, but we're the most spoiled people in the history of the human race if we can't skip some video being beamed across the entire planet after previously being recorded on trillions of dollars of research, billions of dollars of industry, and tens of thousands of smart people all working together in harmony to bring us a video... that could have been clipped a little in the beginning.
Having started a couple myself, I'd say a few of these are industry-specific.

The main thing I learned (and learned to accept) is that at the beginning, nobody cares. Potential customers don't care until you very clearly articulate something that matters to them. Friends and family care about YOU, but unless they're the target user, they also don't care about the business itself. Particularly for high achievers who are used to positive feedback, this lack of engagement can be pretty difficult. It would almost be easier if you had someone out there loudly rooting against you; at least then you'd exist to the world.

Anyway, once I accepted that as a natural part of the process, the ups and downs got a lot easier.
By definition, you can't have a meritocracy without having diversity. In a meritocracy, someone needs to determine the "merit", or at least define the rules which will determine it. And as long as that someone is human, the merit will be affected by their thoughts, emotions, beliefs and understanding of the world, which are in turn determined (or at the very least affected) by the world around them.

Are you referring to abortions solely, or also contraceptives, hysterectomies and tubal libations et al? I've heard that it can be difficult to get oral contraceptives, but I don't know what barriers are in the way.

Honest question; I am Canadian and am not wholly aware of the state of medical affairs south of the fourty-nine.
That was also horrendously illegal

That's not a bad ratio. If you said Bollywood, it'd be much worse, and IMO, generous.

Because its the common mistake large companies make when implementing agile.

As a C-level you want to know the roadmap for the next 12 months and waterfall gave you that. Agile can be a bit terrifying (ofc it shouldnt be), therefore certain people (SAFE, looking at you) have worked out how to make agile look like waterfall from above. Basically by building tiers of process and making the demon-scrummaster (rather than teams) all powerful.

The BBC is, as i understand it, a notorious example.

No kidding. I'm at the point of almost exclusively developing webapps. Universal, instant, and powerful. It's the perfect platform.
I don't think he's concerned so much about wildlife, I think the point is just that some cities don't really have anything in particular going for them, aren't worth rebuilding, and should be abandoned like a Western ghost town.
Some would rather just complain.
I'm curious. Which professional sector is a meritocracy? From what I've seen, and I may not have seen enough, nothing is a true meritocracy, or really even approaches it.
P.S.
I'm not trying to be snarky. I really do want some examples (outside of certain sports, I guess) of actual meritocracies. I can't think of one =[
I started learning Django yesterday and now I'm not sure if I should just skip to the 2.0 alpha instead of learning the current stable version.
The security aspect was an interesting part of this piece, because one of the main reasons webapps took over from Windows apps is because they were perceived as more secure. I could disable ActiveX and Java and be reasonably confident that visiting a webpage would not pwn my computer, which I certainly couldn't do when downloading software from the Internet. And then a major reason mobile apps took over from webapps is because they were perceived as more secure, because they were immune to the type of XSRF and XSS vulnerabilities that webapps were vulnerable to.

Consumers don't think about security the way an IT professional does. A programmer thinks of all the ways that a program could fuck up your computer; it's a large part of our job description. The average person is terrible at envisioning things that don't exist or contemplating the consequences of hypotheticals that haven't happened. Their litmus test for whether a platform is secure is "Have I been burned by software on this platform in the past?" If they have been burned enough times by the current incumbent, they start looking around for alternatives that haven't screwed them over yet. If they find anything that does what they need it to do and whose authors promise that it's more secure, they'll switch. Extra bonus points if it has added functionality like fitting in your pocket or letting you instantly talk with anyone on earth.

The depressing corollary of this is that security is not selected for by the market. The key attribute that customers select for is "has it screwed me yet?", which all new systems without obvious vulnerabilities can claim because the bad guys don't have time or incentive to write exploits for them yet. Somebody who actually builds a secure system will be spending resources securing it that they won't be spending evangelizing it; they'll lose out to systems that promise security (and usually address a few specific attacks on the previous incumbent) . And so the tech industry will naturally oscillate on a ~20-year cycle with new platforms replacing old ones, gaining adoption on better convenience & security, attracting bad actors who take advantage of their vulnerabilities, becoming unusable because of the bad actors, and then eventually being replaced by fresh new platforms.

On the plus side, this is a full-employment theorem for tech entrepreneurs.
err you don't the the Melian Dialogue and other examples from the Peloponnesian War are not relevant today?
You do not need diversity to have a meritocracy in 100m sprint. Diversity may help to get closer to meritocracy in other fields, but in some fields the criteria are so difficult to determine that even with diversity it may be virtually impossible within a single company. The good news is that the market corrects this: the industry misjudging opens an opportunity for other companies to hire more effectively by judging correctly. If you believe that the industry is undervaluing group X, then you can hire more effectively by hiring group X.
Obeying traffic lights decreases tail latency and increases throughput. By not obeying them (as a society, rather than individual), India is only hurting itself.

> "Next the criticism on productivity and size of developer teams."

Were we reading the same article? The main criticisms made by the author of the article were about web app security. If there was a mention of productivity it was only made in passing.

> "The author just basically wants to write desktop apps, but also be able to take advantage of the Web's discoverability."

Is this a bad approach?
The only reason I do React-Native apps instead oft web apps now is, the RN ones pay better.

Anyone know where the code is for the recent zk-SNARK tests on the Ethereum testnet? I've looked at LibSnark.cpp and its tests, but I'd like to find the code where the transactions were generated and sent to the network.

Agile or RAD done well can be very good but it does require more experience developers than say waterfall and the PM scrum leaders really need to know there stuff not just done a weeks course.

Not sure that throwing a junior developer in the deep end with agile is always good idea
Yes, I think we have a misunderstanding. I use Maxima actively, but I do not want to include its calculations in my document. Really, what I'd like specifically is:

1. LaTeX document

2. Ability to define macros locally and more easily. For me, a macro is most of the time just easy textual substitution. However, there are times when I want to generate a piece of text repeatedly with some mild variations.

And, look, LaTeX does most of these things, but there's a huge amount of redundancy when writing up a math document. We sort of get away with things by labeling equations with numbers and referring back to them, but this is largely a remnant from the physical typesetting days when repeatedly typesetting the same expression was laborious and error prone. When we build up a completed theorem from a discussion, I don't want to refer back to old expressions, I want to repeat everything I have there. It creates a contained presentation for the reader. It's easier for everyone, including me, to refer back to later. I should not have to retype everything to do this. TeX is basically a programming language. I should be able to locally define functions and call them when I need them. My complaint with TeX is that it doesn't make this usage all that easy to accomplish and it's, frankly, not all that much to ask for.

One concrete example that I'm typing up now: I'm currently typing up some circuit equations from some project. We have a three-phase inverter, so we used a dq0 transformation to simplify things. The equations been the d and q axis are basically the same except for some differences in the subscripts (some are d, some are q, sometimes we reverse things.) In a reasonable programming language, I could just write a function to swap back and forth and code the equations once. When I implement things, that's what I do. When I type them in LaTeX, I type them twice. I shouldn't have to.
Why do you believe that diversity and meritocracy are mutually exclusive? There are lots of ways companies can and do try to encourage more diversity in their workforce, and few of those approaches involve hiring unqualified people just to fill a quota. Arguments that diversity MUST come at the expense of meritocracy come across as a more subtle way to argue that the status quo represents the natural order of things. Or in other words, the argument is that there are more men than women in tech because men are better suited to it, not because of any non-skill based issues causing a gender imbalance. Because if there were other issues, surely addressing them could improve diversity without making things less meritocratic.
True, but I think the push for web apps is mostly about lock-in and ad-financed web services.
Libertarianism for thee, not for me.
[100% Off] Facebook Marketing 2017: #1 make Facebook stores in minutes
From previous discussions I've learned that USA companies are the only ones that actually are protected from the USA government.

So feel free to build a company in Sweden, but the US is actually legally permitted to wiretap the crap out of it.
The web is our best bet to converge to a single platform.

I find it extremely intellectually unfulfilling to write my code for three platforms (web/Android/iOS) instead of just one. So until there is a better common denominator, the web is my first choice, because at least it is accessible from all three platforms, and from the desktop.
If you have an issue with human error and don't design your programmed tool to avoid letting the errors out into the world, then it is the fault of the tool.
> This isn't an issue with HTML, it's an issue with human error.

All security issues are due to human error. Those are solved by building better tools.

> If this was the case, it would be near-impossible to write HTML by hand.

If, besides the text form, there would be a well-defined length-prefixed binary representation, we could simply compile HTML to binary-HTML, which would immediately made the web not only safer, but also much more efficient (it's scary if you think just how much parsing and reparsing goes on when displaying a web page).
I’d argue that in this era of mobile devices, hard-set line breaks like <br/> are a bad idea even in the immediate term. Regrettably, the front end isn't simple any more, and while the tooling doesn't help I think it's simply not an easy problem to fix any more.
> Women in the United States do not have a universal right to health care

No one does. Overall in the US, greater amounts are spent on/by women (https://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Sta...).

Men don't even have birth control, although that is generally no fault of anyone (although searching up "feminist opposition to male birth control" brings up some interesting hits: https://www.google.com/search?q=feminist+opposition+to+male+...)

I'm pretty sure female sterilizations aren't banned anywhere in the US either.

About sexual assault cases and lack of rights pertaining to due process, I would suggest that the evidence points to the opposite: https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/laura-kipniss-endle...

My bad, i didn't express myself, for rendering framework i mean both the language and the technology that actually "execute" them. I understand that different browser do thing different but the concept are the same.

Also i don't know ios very well, but i have implemented complex layout in both android and the html/css/js and i can say that android is MUCH more frustrating, even when we consider browser backward compatibility, especialy on the animation side (css animations were a bit hard at first, but in little time i was able to construct complex animation very quickly).

I actually have builded a toolbar like the one on google docs (which i use daily) for editing data in a timeline for appointment, which had to be compatible with IE8 and while there was a lot of pain, i was able to iterate and experimentate a lot more quickly than android, and it wasn't that bad, also in my experience when we talk about layout and user interface there is A LOT more documentation on html/css than android, and there also are more framework/library that can help you deal with browser diffrence.
Find an agent. 100% best method.

Except for that the only way is the "hard" way, requiring some luck, through things like writers room.
It might help if it were not frowned upon to admit that women and men are different, and that isn't a bad thing. Male nurses are still a rarity, and that's ok (though, all nurses, regardless of sex, should get paid more). Different doesn't mean better or worse, just different. Is a frog better than a toad? Well, what situation are you asking about? Are women better than men? Well, what situation are we talking about? (And, yes, I just compared men and women to frogs and toads, because no hidden reason whatsoever...)
> To strengthen my argument, you wouldn't expect every startup on the Internet to develop their own Apache server, HTTP protocol, and all the other technical innovations that allow for their business to exist, would you?

I don't want them making their own Apache server in the exact same way I don't want them making their own coin. They should use an existing standardized setup. A smart contract can be useful. A "coin in support of X charitable effort, come mine today" is pretty much nonsense.

Does this link are of amazon products only?
No, he's not. He's pointing out that calling it an "exodus" implies that many individual projects have decided to abandon React. In this context WordPress is just one project, not "25% of all websites".
I don't really understand.

You say that the web needs to be completely thrown out, yet you decided that your foray into web development should be to build a thick Javascript web application? Not some simple Flask endpoint?

Because I assume you could figure out a basic request/response server, and your issue is that you dove into something like Webpack + React + Flux + Qux + Fux + Foo.
> oh. so by framing access to birth control/abortion as "health care", it's now a "health care" issue. that's a interesting way of grabbing attention.

You could read the paragraph where I point out those drugs have other uses. Women with endomitriosis or PCOS need them and can't get them in many states, living in pain and increased mortality because of moral panic over health care.

But even ignoring that, managing when to have children IS a health issue for many women and for their unborn. For example, many women over 40 take birth control because they're concerned about increased rates of birth defects for children with mother's over 40.

Your attempt to frame a phenomenally complicated biological process as anything but a health issue is your politically informed opinion.
> 100% of the children who finish secondary education in Catalonia are perfectly fluent in Catalan and Spanish.

This is debatable, specially in ortography. There is always room to improve; and it seems that parents here and there demand more hours taught in spanish at the school since years. Those are just normal people that want the best for their children and have to fill the educational gaps at home, not politicians.

On the other hand, isn't "Unionist" a peculiar word to refer to your neighbours?
Yeah I appreciate all this advice, except for the "beer test".

Come on man, I don't like to drink and I am a very nice and professional person.

The beer test for social skills is probably worse than whiteboarding obscure algorithms to test technical skills.
It's like credit report inflation!

All of those, bar one, are from previous versions (not the latest GM) of High Sierra, and then it's not certain that that was what they were using. So granted, you have managed to find up to one case of what you were saying.
Your alarm shouldn't go off, because the example is very much apt. The article compared the UI offered by both, and they are indeed directly comparable.

As for the work Google Docs do, come on, they're a glorified Markdown editor, they lose in any kind of comparison with Windows 95-era Word.

I was at the BBC for a few years. I can't talk for much other than Children's BBC, but there many of the people involved in that area of production had also worked in a range of roles in the BBC and migrated over to that position. Alternatively they had worked writing and creating outside of the BBC, possibly in passion projects but likely on other paying gigs - possibly with agencies. But generally they were people who were able to point to a large body of previous work.

I don't think I ever saw a role like 'script writer' on the internal job sites.

Don't forget that a large amount of the production is out of house - through production companies of varying sizes.

What I loved about working there was the genuine passion for content and the audience that most people there had - good luck if they can get in.
Yes, amazon dominates the product links, so it was easiest to start with that. In the future though, I'd love to add more.
Which is also unavailable in many places because the clinics that provide those services are associated with abortion.

But also, this is a "well actually" that attempts to dodge the substance of my post to chip away at it. Ostensibly, these cheaper tactics are frowned upon here and generally considered beneath the desired level of the discourse here.
> Programs in the 90s were written in C and C++. C is impossible to secure. C++ is impossible to secure.

You know that most today OS are written in C or C++ ?
Also many higher level languages are it self written in C or C++?

Write secure applications is hard and need a lot of discipline and knowledge that most developers simple do not have.
Better tools can and need to help here as well as better languages. But it is still possible to write pretty secure and efficient software in modern C++. Yes it is not easy but possible.
How does this have anything to do with the workplace? While I am with on women getting more reproductive attention, I just don't see how it's related. Women have all the rights in regards to getting a job, and advancing their careers.

Also I don't think hysterectomies/"getting the tubes tied" are illegal or even controversial, which would be a far more similar comparison to vasectomies.
I really want the rights to this so I can make it a videogame that only takes a few hundred hours to complete.
Thanks for finding this!
The song was covered by many singers, and in the case of Bob Dylan and Nina Simone (very famous versions, the ones I personally know the song from) it kept the original meaning and lyrics.
So the Animals version could be an outlier in changing the story.

> In the 90s I couldn't have met with my team, with members in Moscow, California, Pennsylvania, and Texas, in any reasonable way

I remember in the mid '90s that there were a couple of applications that would allow you to do that (netmeeting from Microsoft and cooltalk from Netscape). I don't remember how easy or difficult it was to find other users though.
