I have as well, a coworker of mine at my last job came from Amazon. He said he only stayed as long as he did so his resume wouldn't look bad for quitting after just a couple months.

I can't help but think that this is related to the mediocre (imo) UX of a lot of their products. Both AWS and Alexa seem to take the approach of just jamming as many features in as possible without much regard to user experience. It seems like a business/economics view of things is overwhelmingly dominant, and the human element is ignored. But I could be extrapolating too much.

A common complaint everywhere within Amazon is that there are too many chiefs not enough indians. For every doer, it feels like there are 20 talkers with ideas but no ability to execute on them. Everybody wants to be the strategy guy. Good leadership, in practical terms, becomes your ability to convince a technical team or analyst to add something to their already overloaded queue of things to do, in between your scheduled pointless meetings where you talk strategy with fellow MBAs. To an engineering manager, it often feels like being told to build mansions with the budget of a house of cards.

Hopefully Amazon takes all of the MBAs and keeps them.
> The biggest drawback is that there is no easy way to automatically record readings, so I do it manually.

Sounds like an opportunity for a fun project. Set up a webcam (or laptop with a cam?) and take screenshots/snapshots of the feed every n minutes. OCR the output and append to a log file.
> Most people accept "So the Nazis might have won the war instead if things were just a bit different" as at least a bit of justification.

I don't believe that our nuclear program ended up having any bearing on the European theater -- and the existence of our nuclear program might have (if we're conjecturing timelines) convinced the Germans to make an honest go at it rather than a sabotaged one.

We don't know how this timeline would play out again, either, and so we can't discuss how such a change would (likely) have played out.

Instead, we have to act from principles.

Appealing to "well, what about literal Nazis, huh?" is the worst sort of conversation shutting down -- it did absolutely nothing to stop literal Nazis and your hypothetical Nazis are just that, complete fiction you made up to try and justify your point. You literally invented a story to explain why other stories shouldn't be used as evidence.

> Most people consider "The Nazis are more likely to win the war" to be a substantial entry on the debit side of the ledger.

Completely unsupported supposition of the shallowest variety.

> But on the other hand it's not something you're going to have much success with dismissing with "So what?" either.

How about:

"Your fanfic about how nukes stop Nazis is no more useful for rational debate than mine where not building nukes ended the war early by revealing US moral superiority and breaking German morale, then went on to prevent the Cold War, the formation of a Soviet Bloc, the attrocities across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and South America."

Your argument doesn't even deserve a "So what?"

It's an outright fallacy of emotional, Nazi based appeal. (Despite your disclaimer at the bottom.)

Every time I use Clojure for the nuts and bolts of software engineering it reminds me why I prefer Common Lisp.

Every time I need to get something done of any magnitude, it reminds me why I prefer Clojure to Common Lisp.

So... What "systems" said. Truly, Clojure is a Lisp for Getting Stuff Done, as it has access to an astounding number of libraries targeting the JVM, largely allowing you to focus on your product's core.

I would go for Bootstrap and Elm.

Bootstrap gives you all the responsiveness you need to go across platform. It's basically a HTML and CSS library. Everything you need to create UI.

Then I would use the Elm programming language.

IoT on Rails (looking for feedback)
We've built/are building a service to help web developers (starting with Rails devs) build end-to-end IoT applications with custom connected devices. The idea is to let web developers do this using their web dev skills.

This still is a huge concern for us web app developers. Most people re-use their email addresses and passwords across multiple sites. One breach at one internet company affects all the others.

IMO, password reuse is the #1 web application security problem in the world right now, and there's very little in the way of accepted industry standards to mitigate it.
Right. But what I was saying is that, I wouldn't throw that into a beginner's tutorial right away.
Sigh...your comment reminded me of the broken hearts my girlfriend and I endured when she bought me a brand new Xbox One for us to play Halo 5 together, only to discover that split screen multiplayer has been effectively smothered to death by the games industry (sans Nintendo).

Ah now. Governments don't just use taxes to raise revenue, but also for incentives. If they tax moving cash abroad to help with the balance of payments and you restructure your company to avoid doing this then everyone is happy. It doesn't excuse manipulating the government to make favourable tax laws however.
Ironically, the worst job I've had in tech was getting blind allocated onto one of Google's brainfarts. My point? It always depends on what team you're on...

I have found that O'Reilly's "Nutshell" books tell me everything I need to know when learning most new languages, and then some.

Additionally, here is some advice from Balaji Srinivasan (source: https://www.producthunt.com/live/balaji-s-srinivasan):

1. First, I'd master database and cryptography fundamentals, with something like Dan Boneh's course for the latter

2. Then, I'd read the Bitcoin.org and Ethereum documentation

3. Then, you should write short Python or Go scripts to do things like printing out the blockchain, formatting and signing a transaction by hand, managing private keys, that type of thing. This will give you a feel for the raw data structures.

4. After doing all this, I'd take a look at application libraries like Ryan Shea and Muneeb Ali's new blockstack.org

The reason I'd do it in this order is that you would learn fundamentals first before proceeding to the cutting edge.
Partly as a joke, I've started wanting to ask the question, "Will I be reporting to an MBA?"

"But PCs are still around.

Would be nice to read why you are unhappy PCs are still around.

Though personally i don't see why one should replace the other. Their own dimensions, weight, power inside etc, limits or enables one device to do something the other can't. And touch is nice, but think you really need to be able to pair a mouse to your iPad to get a desktop feeling anyway. Then again, those are just my personal opinions about using iPad as a desktop.

Use control+c instead of escape for vim.
The Blink app for mosh/ssh allows to remap caps-lock to esc on the SmartKeyboard. This made the iPad more than usable for (remote) programming in vim
I also use my iPad to ssh into a linux box and that is a remarkably nice working setup. It shows how much of iPads power and possible use is limited purely by the software, be it because of the App Store guidelines prevent certain apps or the apps not being there yet. Also the data exchange got much better with iOS 11, but still can be quite cumbersome.

”It is about net calories per serving.“

I think they chose food that is cheap to buy, easy to consume and that everybody will like (for some measure of ‘everybody’ and ‘like’)

That food happens to have a high ratio between number of calories and how full it makes you feel.

That, in turn, allowed them to make servings larger. If a Big Mac or a soda would give you the same ‘I have eaten’ feedback as, say, raw vegetables, Macdonald’s would never have considered making servings that large (customers not finishing their meal makes the meal look bad in US culture)
In vim, I use CTRL+[. This should be mapped by default. Way better than the uncomfortable reach for the ESC key.
Too much levels 5 and 6, not enough levels 7 and 8 actually. So you get a bunch of 6s who start to think they're 10s.
That's not remotely whataboutism; whataboutism is when you're deflecting to another bad to justify something, I'm not deflecting nor justifying, I'm using reductio ad absurdum to make a point that everything is bad with enough quantity so simply calling nicotine bad because it's a vasoconstrictor-as stimulants tend to be-is not a valid argument. I suggest you learn the difference.

We use vagrant in conjunction with docker and other container services.

Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas
I don't know whether it's real or imagined, but there has been a drop in my subjective experience with Uber in the last few months since Travis's removal.

- While in a rush, I've had back-to-back mid-day waits of 15+ minutes for any and every Uber I called (hailed a cab instead).

- A day where I experienced $50+ non-surged fare estimate from downtown SF to the Sunset, something I've never seen before (usually $22-ish... I took MUNI.)

- Increased rate of bad driver behavior: I've had drivers straight up cancel calls if I'm not outside immediately, drivers start a fare before I get in the car (and then lose the ability to find my true pickup point), and worse.

- Inability to pinpoint my location when there's a conference or venue nearby - I had to call a Lyft yesterday because Uber insisted I was at an Oracle conference (I wasn't even that close)

And more. Pretty much every reason I've had for not taking cabs over the past few years is now becoming a problem with Uber. If they can't regulate the quality of their service, there's no benefit to Uber in a major urban center (hailing a cab is far, far faster).

I hadn't used Lyft in three years until about two weeks ago. I've started using it more frequently and have had a fantastic experience. I'm unbelievably disappointed - internal company politics aside, I had been a huge fan of Uber. I haven't fully converted to Lyft yet, but every experience I have continues to push me in that direction.
Text selection on inside a textarea is pretty easy on the iPad and iPhone if you are using the on-screen keyboards. On the iPhone you can use force-touch on the keyboard area and then move the cursor wherever you wish. Force-pressing again starts a selection. On the iPad you use two fingers to drag across the on-screen keyboard and tap with two fingers begin selecting, which doesn‘t really work if you are using a hardware keyboard. So it‘s a mixed bag.

What I don't understand is why Amazon and Apple are getting the punishment. They were abiding by the laws of the country they were in, and now getting punishment. Surely if any party were to be punished it would be the governments of Ireland and Luxembourg which sanctioned these agreements in the first place? It seems that the EU is less interested in law-abiding and more interested in that sweet, sweet U$D. Ex post facto law at its finest.

I apologize that this question is slightly tangential to the submitted post, but this seems like an ideal venue to ask: Is there a GUI interface to vim that has smooth-scrolling?

I've tried Gvim, but this just seems like vim with buttons (no smooth-scroll). I've tried Sublime text with the ActualVim plugin (powered by NeoVim), but this had errors which somehow swapped document buffers on write, essentially deleting an entire document (thankfully I had a backup).

I don't see any real sign that the Waymo lawsuit halted their self-driving car program. It may yet, but so far, what it's forced them to do is "fire Levandowski."

I do think it was always ridiculous to imagine that Uber would create a durable advantage in driverless cars.

For better or for worse, Uber is the paramount example of the post-social-media dominated tech startup scene. If it turns out to be massively overvalued, I think you're right that it will absolutely spook investment in tech. Everyone's going to be asking, "If these investors were so massively wrong on Uber, after dumping billions and billions into it, how much insight could they possibly have?"

I don't know that that will mean a tech "bubble" or collapse, but I think it'll be way harder to raise money in tech for a while if Uber's ultimate valuation is, say, south of $10B.

You can do "most" of the things you need, but for some tasks it's a real chore and trying to make it work just leads to frustration. My iPad gets me 80% of what I need, but trying to grasp that last 20% ends up causing insane work arounds that just tarnish the whole experience.
