And that is the exact same calculation the local transportation agency makes every time their is a car accident with fatalities on a major undivided highway / road. Roads become known as dangerous (eg Blood Alley, officially the 126 is Southern California), and clearly the govt could step in and install some Jersey barriers. Yet they don't, because implicitly the cost of X lives per year is not worth it to society.
Thanks, though that's at best a very partial step.

I'm looking at a more comprehensive rethinking.

I do on my computer, but I watch a lot of YouTube on my phone.

I ran AdBlock Plus for a while until I discovered that it runs as an open proxy, allowing anyone on the same wifi network as you to fetch content through your phone.

In combination with a VPN client that routes everything over the VPN, I considered that an unacceptable risk.
Clojure code actually ends up having less parens, and others symbols than most languages. Here's an example comparison with Java https://labs.ig.com/lines-of-code-matter

>The only difference in readability is that the Java version has a lot more parentheses.

What I usually think is that maybe they change the byte sizes in the future, so that a “byte” is no longer 8 bits.

(Historical note: A “word” is nowadays usually four bytes, i.e. 32 bits, but older mainframe computer had varying word sizes; 36 bits for a word was not uncommon.)
A lot of things to like and not.

Support is terrible and unlimited claims are false because of other rules around inode limits and cpu limits.

They are still one of the better bigger shared providers. Speed isn't bad. Cpanel itself saves lots of time.

I often use the Dataset library (from Mozilla, I believe). It provides a lot of convenience for incorporating SQLite (and other databases) into Python projects and it's very easy to use it to fall back to straight SQL queries and other statements.

I think you forget that cultural isolation is something that people can actively pursuit. Look at any newspaper: Catalunya wants to use its own language. Wales all but resurrected its own language. Croats and Slovens dug hard to separate back their languages from Serbs. And of course, Jews have successfully fought linguistic and cultural integration for millennia; they still trade and move across the Earth like the best of them.

Cultural isolationism is an ideological position that naturally generates diversity, and it’s incredibly lively in the modern world despite, or even in opposition to, distances shrinking dramatically in all paths of life.
I sent the writer an email but I'll go ahead and ask it here too: Where and how does one find a good recruiter?
Lots of people in big companies specialize in things they think are domain specific but are really company specific, they become redundant and cannot get a similar position.

Odd to pick c++. If you are very well versed in c++ you could get a well paid job in 100s of places.
How many different hosts are you going to create accounts on and send test emails to? Are you going to check the MX records for grandma's email to figure out who's hosting her email to test with that one?

Testing is not a one-time thing, the hosts keep changing their rules and if your ip is close to a spammer's that could change the treatment of your email as well. I sent email from my own domain address via an authenticated university SMTP server for years without hearing of any problems. Then this year, family members using Gmail started finding my messages in the spam folder. My best guess is Google started caring about the lack of an SPF record for the SMTP server, associating it with my domain but there's no way to know.

This is all way the advice for most people is: Don't run your own mail server, it's too much work and less reliable.
Hass has probably been the biggest help to this quadriplegic in the past decade. The way it's made it easy to stitch together a massive variety of Internet connected devices is absolutely awesome. I've got lightbulbs from one company, plugs from another, sensors from another and then there are all the web-based sensors which I can easily control with my Amazon echoes. It truly is a remarkable piece of technology.

Were I to ask a specialist disability company to replicate the setup I have at home it would probably cost me 10 times what it already has, and unfortunately that's not hyperbole is it really would cost me that much.

Not only that, but the Discord[1] channel is not full of terrible old greybeards having a go at n00bs for not knowing things. The amount of patient and helpful advice I've had was learning over these past six months how to set it up has been amazing. That seems to be getting rarer and rarer these days among technical online communities, or maybe it's just confirmation bias. Either way they are very nice people. I've even had the developers help me with problems that are specific to me and my disability and probably not to very many other people just because they could.

They deserve serious props for this work, they really do.

Well, true - but the highest ranked Python(#1) framework is at 25%, with probably a dozen or so Java configurations above it in the list. If low latency and high throughput is a primary goal (i.e. you really need scale) then you're probably going to know about gemini, undertow, grizzly, etc if you're in the Java ecosystem.

(#1 mentioned since it's one of the two languages compared to Java in TFA).

I think O'Reilly is fairly interesting because they were about the best case for non-DRM standards based ebooks. Their content was very time limited in value, customers were savvy, shouldn't be too price sensitive, and were 'saying' they wanted the unencumbered ebooks.

But the market didn't actually behave that way. They had trouble selling ebooks and piracy was a huge issue.

The next one to watch will be Tor. If they back off of their DRM free stance we'll know that its basically an untenable model.
'No taxation without representation' is not based on the presumption that those being taxed are the best at determining the value of taxation, or even of electing their own representatives. Those who do not bear the cost of their own decisions are a priori unqualified to make those decisions as they are subject to adverse incentives.
We were talking about domains, not technologies. They are very different concepts. Technologies are fungible, domains have people and business experience associated with them.

Unity compiles C# to actual native code via IL2CPP, Godot doesn't do it, as far as I can understand it.

The Unity is already supporting 4.6 on its beta version.
Nobody is assuming you should pay an older person more because they are older, but because they are more experienced. Paying someone with 30 years experience more than someone fresh out of school isn't age discrimination.

Find me a fresh out of school 20 year old with 30 years experience and I'll pay them more too.
If you could run any application in a container, something like kubernetes looks rather compelling.

That's why they are asking for bonds(you can't leave the company for the time stipulated in the contract) in India and paying superfluous money.

SDEs hate bonds because we can't leave the company if we don't like the work etc etc
You could pack the raytracer and the scene into a GLSL fragment shader without any trouble whatsoever and achieve something greater than 30fps out of the gate.

Check out https://www.shadertoy.com/ - all of this crazy stuff is generated using two triangles and a fancy shader. Almost every 3D scene there is generated using some form of ray casting or ray tracing on the GPU.
Unity targets many systems where .NET Core doesn't exist, e.g. games console.

Mono is only used in some targets, they actually compile to native code via IL2CPP for production deployment.
I disagree with many minor points here, but one strongly enough to comment: do not send your resume as a Word doc. Any modern tracking system parses PDFs, and Word docs make it look like you don’t know how to use a computer.
Good example! More of this, basically.
I would also like to know about the this. If you wouldn't mind letting me know some of the things you did that could be really helpful
It wasn't licensing reasons but monetary ones, rather Unity did not want to pay Xamarin what they asked for.

The answer is probably similar to "where and how does one find a good developer"? I'd say that there's tons of crappy recruiters in the world and not enough great ones. Which means that the best recruiters probably only work with the best talent.

I might be totally wrong about this though. Anyone?
Actually .NET Standard 2.0 requires .NET 4.6.1.

.NET 4.6.2 was only for .NET Standard 1.0, but they realised basing on 4.6.1 would be a more sensible decision and fixed it in version 2.0.

I feel like this thread is ignoring the main point, which is that preventative maintenance would have been cheaper.

Also, when this thing started falling, they could have stopped it earlier, which would have resulted in cheaper repair, but no...

Sure we would not have awesome drone footages, and I like the discussions on worker's risk and contractor down-biding, but at the end of the day it's a lot of money for something preventable. Same can be said of worker's riks, health care, environment, retirement.

For most intents and purposes, Italian is already a “fairly obscure and unintelligible language”. Unless you are a historian, you don’t need it. The influence it used to wield in music and cuisine has long been codified in a few specific words and nobody needs to understand anything of the surrounding structures. Outside of Italy, it’s kept around as a fashionable preserve of certain upper classes because it helps while on holiday, but anywhere else it’s completely irrelevant.
It can actually be used in a variety of ways. It can be a runtime assertion. It can also be used to automatically generated unlimited tests (using property-based testing, similarly to Haskell and other languages) and that can be done at compile time. That is, you write a spec for a function and the tests are automatically created to ensure that all valid input the function can handle matches corresponding output it emits.

Because these are not actual static types, you can get a lot of control and say things like "this function accepts three arguments, all integers between 5 and 50, but in increasing order, and the output must be a float between 0 and 1", and then have that checked on the function before the program ever runs. At run time, you can then verify that you are passing in valid arguments.

Spec is relatively new, and there are experiments in the community to do things more like traditional static type checking also. The future is an interesting place.
I've been signing up on sites using unique addresses for each one for about 10 years. I've had two addresses that eventually started receiving spam, one for a small local business and one for Adobe. I'm sure both were due to hacks of those sites, not the customer addresses being sold.
Fetish? Your question reads as a farce, because there is no, "Chinese Government," it is merely the actions of the Chinese Communist Party, which has 50 million members and is democratic within itself. What China is in terms an elite party controlled state and what you are assuming as an unuanced, "undemocratic state," whatever that means, shows you should probably just read a lot more on China and how it actually works rather than dismissing any potential criticisms as sexual in nature, implying they warrant no further discussion, if you are genuinely curious.

Emerson's essay on compensation
I am 41 years old, still doing software development and enjoying it for the most part. I work in France.

Actually I enjoy it better than I used to since I find myself much more productive and I make less bad design decisions than I used to. I code daily in Javascript (NodeJs), Java and from time to time in groovy, python and golang. Being able to switch from 1 language to another, deploying in different cloud platforms also contributes to my enjoyment.

Recently I have had some bad experiences however when I had to work with exclusively young developers in very small teams (3-4 people). I did not like it mostly because either they were not really competent and did not recognize it (wanting to code on hard topics when they showed poor coding skills on easy ones) or because they were very arrogant (notably a Javascript dev who thought that NodeJs was the alpha and omega of the server runtimes) and were showing some signs of ageism. But I blame mostly the weak recruiting process of my company and management persons (for not constituting well balanced teams). Working with exclusively inexperienced (and not well recruited) people can become a nightmare.

But I am mainly worried because in France (and I think the situation is the same in all Western European countries) even if there's a shortage of tech workers, companies are very reluctant to offer decent wages and still prefer to hire young low paid people. Developers are still seen as blue collars in the IT industry and developers tend to hit very quickly the (salaries) glass ceiling. I tend to think that management persons do not recognize the added value of experienced developers. (I admit that things like maintainability or good design decisions are hard to assess).

I keep my skills up to date, but I am also considering about exit plans, well at least moving away from doing exclusively development.
Header-only library providing unicode aware string support for C++
The JVM has indeed matured to the point where it's on par with other VM style languages, and better than interpreted languages. This wasn't always the case: early in Java's lifetime it was a slow, memory intensive hog. That stigma has stuck.

That said, it's still pretty heavyweight (both the language and the runtime).

It also wouldn't be my first choice for compute intensive tasks (for example, a non-toy ray tracer). It would do the job eventually, but at a cost. Of course, I wouldn't pick Go or Python either.

You can see my other comment to your same question. Also, even if you do not use Spec, you do get a lot of compile-time validation like making sure all arguments are passed to a function, not leaving them out, etc. Try that in Javascript!
Just what kind of animals did they have in there anyway?
Learn HTML and CSS, Python, and then Django. Think of a new idea. Try build when learning Django.
If the way that we do software development requires exceptional talent, then I'd say that our process is broken. I'm very interested in creating methods and approaches to software development that provide increased levels of support to the individual engineer; as well as increased levels of assurance and predictability for the end customer. As I see it, this mostly involves the integration of existing tools and technologies.
We've hired 3 so far. Actually had entirely too many good applications to choose from (25+?).

Leaving this comment so people who may read this and get scared off understand that it's definitely not the case.
I think they only made those 4 public for now.
The trouble with that approach is that in CS, tensors are mostly used in machine learning, which is very math-dependent. So, you read in a textbook or a paper that something can be done elegantly by using some linear algebra operation, or some transformation on a tensor, and are delighted, because your library says to be tensor-based, but, then, when you try to code it, whoops; you meant you had tensor support, but all you've got is a multidimensional array memory layout...
I guess my statement that drug companies are only interested in long term treatments was a bit sensational, but as we both agree, they need a return on their investment. I understand that developing drugs is both intellectually hard and extremely expensive, but there are in my view a few benefits that (super)national collaborations have over private companies:

- you only need one cure, so the work only needs to be done successfully once (competition is in this case potentially wasteful)

- knowledge and good people are pooled (not hoarded by the companies able to offer the best compensation)

- access to larger sources of funding for individual projects

- knowledge from failed projects could be publicly disseminated instead of locked up in the company's archives

- no need to turn a profit

The usual arguments I hear against state- or superstate-run organisations over the private sector is, as others have said here, the perceived wastes of resources when projects don't appear to be on a successful track: a private company would cancel early to avoid more waste, whereas a publicly funded organisation wouldn't necessarily do so as the project managers aren't incentivised by shareholder value. However, it seems to be to be just a case of having the right incentives. If they were instead tasked with improving patient outcomes measured over, I don't know, 10 years, then that could be a valid reason to use to cancel research that doesn't seem to be going anywhere ("it doesn't seem like this drug, even if it passes trials, will make a meaningful improvement in patient outcomes"). Another aspect of public organisations could be that the scientists in charge of the research would have their own reputation to consider, instead of that of the company. It would be in their own interest for costly projects to fail quickly if they go nowhere.

Here's a thought: would it work if such a public organisation could underwrite the research of private drug companies? These companies could then be paid a "non finders fee" for failed drug projects that nevertheless showed significant promise, in return for low-cost access to the successful ones, and of course public sharing of the reasons why the drug failed. Would the economics of such a system work, or would drug companies find ways to game the system?

It seems they could have been designed as an attempt to guide, trap and pool lava that might otherwise flow toward settlements or other things of value. Didn't see that hypothesis in the article. Not sure how effective it would have been... But if your elders told stories of villages being wiped out by lava, you would probably try to do something to stop it.
I can also hold them for you while switched on without issue. I photographed them switched off because it was faster to do it this way, as otherwise I’d first have to power them on and set them up.

Though technically not salary but revenue freelancing or rather self-employed consulting is a realistic option for reaching that kind of annual income.

One piece of advice though: Don't do it for the money (or the money alone, at least). If you want to run a sustainable consulting practice you have to be passionate about what you're doing and constantly deliver high-quality work.

Confidently marketing your services is essential. If you're good at solving important problems for your customers that should be reflected in your rates. Speaking of which, if possible adopt value-based pricing instead of time-based, i.e. daily or hourly, rates.

> We’ve decided to expose most of these tips to the Abseil development community, and the C++ community at large. Over the coming months, we’ll be posting new tips as we review and refine them for publication. Not all the entries we’ve written are relevant to the outside world; some were specific to our internal tools and abstractions, and some have become obsolete as the language has changed.
Indeed, on anything serious I write it at least twice. Of course, using Clojure makes this easy since there is usually not a lot of code to rewrite. But after you get into something, you know details about what is needed that you simply cannot adequately predict beforehand in a lot of circumstances.
In my professional work I use Smalltalk, Pharo to be exact.

This is my first job so I cannot really compare with other companies but I can compare to my university experience.

At the university I had to do 2 group projects. One in Java/Angular and the other we had the choice and I succeeded to convince others to do it in Pharo.

In the end we got a much better result in Pharo with more constraints. On the constraints we had for example the fact that I was alone to know Pharo at the beginning. Also we got a group problem and we ended up to be 3 when the other groups where 4-5. But we got the more advanced project at the end. We could not have done it in the languages the others used.

In fact, at the beginning, our teacher wanted everyone to do Java and/or Javascript, but she accepted that we used Pharo because she though we would not have the full team knowing Pharo fast enough and that we would stop Pharo to use Java. That did not happened.
