Honestly I don't see how anyone can answer this without knowing what you are already making and what your local market is offering (assuming you also want to stay in the same place with the same title). If you're underpaid (e.g. making $65k in the Bay) you could more than double your salary quite easily. However if you're already making $200k as a senior engineer in say Seattle or Austin, well I would expect anywhere from 0 to a decrease, with a very rare possibility of an increase at all.
You're blowing this out of proportion. Read it again, I didn't discount anyone. All I said was I found one thing more efficient for myself than something else.
Definitely agree there. But it's also not always a good idea if you're going to do a lot of writes and rewrites to the same area of a file. If you're doing something more write once or a log append type pattern it won't make a difference usually. But if you're changing data a lot before closing/finishing the file then you might not want the dramatic performance change that O_SYNC can bring, and the race between fsync and close might still be worth it (esp if you're doing an fsync on all the directories involved to ensure metadata is commited too).
Ah you're right. Sublime text can do it in a second anyway.

> Apple takes this seriously

Anyone who takes security seriously should open-source the security aspects of the system. Putting them in a proprietary black box is one the worst ways to guarantee security.

Also, fingerprints or few-digit pins should be only used as casual deterrents to people grabbing and doing something with your phone before you can get to it. Those should not be used to encrypt sensitive data. Good security comes from good, high-entropy passwords.

I was on the teen-grid, too. In my time there, I met many really gifted teen programmers. They partly inspired me to pursue computer science, and, years later, I've even had the unexpected pleasure of meeting some of them in person!
As usual, another example of the Linux echo chamber. It's just one constant inward gaze with that crowd. They learn nothing from anyone, only trial and error.
I specifically disputed your assumption that all members of the military have some degree of clearance by pointing to select jobs which explicitly do not require any level of security clearance whatsoever. Nothing more.

Specifically addressing infantrymen (Army MOS 11x, Marines MOS 03xx), it's not difficult to imagine a case enlisted immigrant on a defined path towards naturalization being granted iterim clearance to train and perform basic routine duties, but is constrained to non-deployable status and can neither participate in classified briefings nor handle classified material pending valid JPAS investivation disposition...which is all theoretical motherhood and apple pie, except a security clearance isn't actually mandatory for many infantry MOSs.

That's the best counterargument you have? "Scary" chemical names? I mean, ... really?

I quite assure you that if I listed all of the compounds of "Pasteurized Whole Milk, Pasteurized Cream, Live Active Cultures, Cream" using standard chemistry nomenclature, the list would look far more intimidating to the average layperson.
I've been eyeballing the number of lines (or characters) long enough that I am correct more often than not.

Also, relative line numbering changed my life.
LG V30 is a flagship that instead of taking the port away, made improvements to actually take advantage of it, offering a Hi-Fi Quad DAC built-in. It means I can use my studio-quality headphones and enjoy crisper sounding music on my phone and on the go.

All in all, all four of my headphones use the 3.5mm jack. Don’t see myself paying premium now for half-thought solutions, thank you.

Apple is not a god when deciding what ports to drop, alright? Just because they practically indoctrinate an industry to follow in their footsteps doesn’t mean it’s always right. I’m all for leaving really old or badly designed ports IF there are better alternatives. What’s currently out there is buggy at best.
With my wired headphones I don't have to do any hacks or workarounds to use them as long as the host device is turned on, I get better audio, they will outlast AirPods if I'm not rough with them, I can (and do, probably several times a day) move them quickly between my workstation, my laptop, and my two phones, they cost about the same, they're more comfortable, they have a better seal, they work where RF is not allowed, they work just as well with every device I own.

If I ever need a replacement in a pinch, almost every convenience store has an inexpensive pair of compatible headphones, good ones can be bought online or at audio stores.

Headphone jacks also double as line-out jacks, allowing you to play audio through any of the billions (!) of compatible systems without noticeable RF interference even in congested conditions.
It depends...some organizations require dual citizens to renounce their foreign citizenship before they get their clearance.

The "XY Problem" link[1] has an authentic-sounding and hilarious impression of a developer being a jerks to a newcomer.

A quick analysis of "Example 1":

* developer has already figured out that the person almost certainly means to get the extension, but they then inexplicably post the likely irrelevant answer that blithely returns the last three characters. (More on that below...)

* developer uses caps-- meant to convey that they are YELLING at the questioner-- which is unwarranted and pointlessly aggressive

* developer is obviously annoyed by questioner taking too many steps to get to a proper statement of their problem. But after the developer states the problem properly and the questioner confirms it, the developer wastes a step in their own response to demand that the questioner obtain an arbitrary level of knowledge before they state future problems. I write "arbitrary" because the developer has apparently decided that the questioner should have already known that a) a file extension is called a file extension and b) file extensions don't always contain three characters. But the implication is that a questioner armed with this increased level of knowledge (and who would have therefore Google'd the answer more easily) strangely would be more deserving of receiving an answer than someone who obviously sought out the help of a fellow human being because they didn't know what to search for. That's a bizarre (and frankly anti-social) line of reasoning.

* developer uses a mean-spirited adjective "blindly", ostensibly to hurt the newcomer's feelings. But this is my favorite part-- the developer has already shown that they were nearly certain that the questioner meant to ask for concept they were unable to name-- an extension. (Plus having that confirmed by the questioner.) So for the insult to work here, the developer refers back to their own irrelevant example, calling that "blindly grabbing three characters," and using sleight of hand to reinterpret that as the initial query. All this after having already confirmed the questioner's actual problem!

That shows an impressive level of premeditation to be a jerk-- that is, setting up an irrelevant answer in order to heighten the language for an insult in a later response.

I sure hope this example response doesn't really reflect the current communication style of FLOSS devs.

To be fair to Soylent, many of the ingredients listed are simply vitamin and mineral sources. They have scary-sounding names, but are not scary things.

I'm not convinced your alternative is actually more healthful, nor do I believe it contains the vitamins or minerals you'd need for it to act as a reasonable meal replacement. From a macro perspective at least, I don't see anything particularly wrong with Soylent's product.
heh

I don't know ... they are both compromises.

a very ugly notch, no front facing speakers, the need for a really great palm rejection algorithm (and even in this case, the bottom of the screen might be a bit unwieldy to reach).

It does look cool, but it is 'just' a different compromise than the one made on the pixel.
My argument isn't scary chemical names. It's that you face a bad omega 3:6 ratio. I already said that in the first comment.

That's fair. I expanded on the details further in another comment, which I'll copy below.

> My question stems from the fact that I make about median market rate for my experience and location. I'm having trouble making a plan for how my salary should increase as my experience and career evolve. If I'm currently making median market rate, I'm unsure if it's reasonable to expect a jump into the 75th percentile for my next position during the negotiation process.

Median market rate in my location (Pittsburgh) for my skills is around $75k. The 90th percentile for someone of equal skill is about $100k. To clarify my question, using the details from your comment, what can I reasonably expect for the growth rate between jobs as I approach the 90th percentile of pay?
You're right. I've deleted the offending line from my comment. And I apologize.
The main datasets that are tied to a "geography" are the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Census.

The ACS comes in 1, 3, and 5 year editions. The 1-year is the least precise, and has the smallest sample, while the 5-year uses trailing 5-year data. The tradeoff is that ACS-5 estimates are only available, IIRC, for geographies of 50,000 or more people.

The ACS-1 estimates for 2016 are already released. ACS-5 will come out in December.
Yes everything here is theoretical including the Hawking radiation itself.
Yes, both of those things. You have to keep in mind this is the era immediately following WW2, so there was both a fascination with and fear of things "atomic."
Yep. And I still would never go back. The liberation of wireless is just amazing.
There's more to good nutrition than just the ratios of carbs/fats/protein - you also have to think about getting the right amounts of each micronutrient. Once you do, it becomes a lot harder to get a good balance than just mixing 2 or 3 ingredients.
Why not buy a commercially made meal replacement product that has been on the market for decades and is endorsed by nursing and medical professions and is used in hospitals?

Its not like no one had ever done meal-replacement foods before Soylent came along. Its not new, its not cheaper, its not as well regulated, its not as flavorful.

Seriously, why would you buy Soylent (which has had numerous beta 'failures') over a something like Ensure/
I don't remember where I read it, but apparently Apple committed to the Lightning port for a certain number of years when speaking to accessory manufacturers.

Even on the treadmill? Even going hard?

I'm not trying to push buttons. I use Jaybird X3s and feel comfort from the corded nature of the headphones. Here on the streets of NYC, I see AirPods more as fashion statements over an actual audio solution.

The instantaneous pairing sounds lovely, but I'm concerned most concerned with audio quality, bluetooth connection in a busy city, and general practical logistics both in and out of the gym.
I have a side project that's turning into a full-time gig. Farm financial analysis software.

I did a year of blog posts and email marketing before launching last December. Launch generated 30 customers and $45,000 in ARR.

Augh. As someone who, back in the day, put significant effort into building up a semi-sane framework for UI construction in my own LSL scripts... that looks so much nicer than what I had to work with it's painful.
Standards are fucking amazing. You can plug an early electric guitar from the 50s into any modern amp or pedal.

How is an aux port obsolete for the task of transmitting audio? It does the job simply and perfectly, with a tiny connector.
Thank you, given what you've just added I'd defer to other's comments about relying on negotiation skills. I wouldn't accept anything less than a 10% increase (mixed between equity and cash) unless the title bump was meaningful and could actually have an impact on your career growth (i.e. not being VP of Engineering for a 1-person engineering team). If you're right in the middle, it shouldn't be hard to find salaries for 10% more.
If it makes you feel better, AirPod users rarely talk about their bluetooth stuttering issues, but it does occur.
Is it growth you want (presumably capital/resource-based), or the things you associate with that growth? eg. Self-improvement (personal growth), stability, security, happiness, leisure...?
They don't use the same supplier.
Yes, even going hard. I can't dislodge AirPods even if I shake my head around as hard as I can and try to dislodge them. My wife is on the treadmill almost every day with hers, running fast; she has no issues with them falling out, either. I do get that the security of a cord is preferable for some, but I've had a really great user experience. I don't wear them because they are fashionable; I think they look rather dorky, to be honest. But I love how they work.

You didn't know, or you don't think they should be? The jury is still out on dietary cholesterol, and there are plenty of people, some on this very forum, who consider it a health hazard.

I'm aware of recent research suggesting it isn't all that bad, but there's no telling if that's going to be reversed as well in a couple of years.
reCAPTCHA V2 and invisible reCAPTCHA package for Laravel users.

https://github.com/anam-hossain/captcha

This package comes with a very neat api which is very easy to use. The package is only developed for Laravel users. In addition, Blade directive is used for importing reCaptcha front end code.
I'd bet it'd be possible to make this much smaller and about half the cost. But I think it'd also end up a lot more difficult to adjust as needed since you'd end up with either tiny pots for adjustment or having to fix the values of everything and use single resistors. Going full DSP would allow you to make this fairly small and cheap (maybe the size of a 9 volt battery) but much more annoying to build and work on if you don't have the skill set. I'd bet this would be a good spot for someone to design a nice open hardware project that'd benefit a lot of people, and if it's setup as kits for headphones that just happen to work well as hearing aids you can probably avoid some of the regulatory issues even though you couldn't ever call them what they are.
I just switched to Insomnia because of a bug in Postman, where it wouldn't pick up changes in the body of an HTTP POST and would use something that had been sent previously. I was able to see that the data received by the server was previous values from the text field. If I cloned the request into a new tab it started working. It happened repeatedly - at some point after making edits to the body it would just get stuck and not send what was in the editor. So I switched because I can't use an app with such issues with its core functionality.

I also disliked Postman's UI, but it wasn't a deal broker. I'm not in love with Insomnia's UI, either, but I like Insomnia because it reliably sends the right request.
They are inconsistently formatted, and the default formatting usually takes up the whole page width, making it hard to actually read.

I guess I could probably solve this with a custom stylesheet, though.

I was happy to use wireless back in the N4 days.

It is nice, but not as nice as being able to charge the device in no time.

I did not think about wireless charging at all until everybody started talking about it again with the new iphone.

If I can go without it without feeling its absence, it is probably not that important (for me anyway, but I am curious to know why it is so nice)

USB-C is not exactly hard to plug anyway, so it sounds really gimmicky to me.
My Ford does this (sync contacts) by default too. Yes it's an inexpensive car but you have explicitly turn this off and it's not intuitive. Not quite a dark pattern per se but I prefer to not connect BT to rentals for that reason alone.
Hi skue, thanks for this awesome suggestion. I will update the article to include your suggestion. :)
Just wanted to note that listening to music through earbuds while driving is illegal.

I generally believe that laws only need to be enforced when reasonable. But this law actually sounds reasonable...
Bluetooth isn't always the only alternative option.

I plug my iPhone into my car's USB port (via the standard USB-A to lightning cable) and it works really well.

I also could have connected to my car via Bluetooth, or via the AUX input.

The USB connection works best and also charges my phone.
This is because Soylent is making up for deficiencies in its ingredients. They need to add Vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin a palmitate, for instance, because there is no Vitamin A or D or calcium in the canola oil and sunflower oil. These nutrients are already abundantly present in Skyr and cream.

I wonder if the bioavailability is even good in Soylent. I know some of these nutrients are much more bioavailable in animal sources than plant sources (though I can't recall which), so the vegan-friendly label on Soylent is a mark against it, if health is your goal.
If you're truly interested in objectively comparing your breakfast's nutritional profile, you can punch in your recipe on http://completefoods.co/. And if you disagree with the nutritional profile, you can customize that too. Please share it!
I never pay attention to the absolute time, but when they need a charge they make a sound to indicate it and then you can easily put one in the case/charger and then put it back in your ear when it’s charged and then charge the other one, all without pausing your call. This duty cycling means you are effectively limited by the case battery size not the bud battery size.

I agree with the others upthread that I’m not going back to wires after getting my AirPods.
I wear hearing aids selected by an audiologist, have probably had some extra damage to my hearing from them, and wish I could buy open hearing aids I could program myself. I don't blame the system for the damage, but do for the restricted choice.

Generally consumer protection by regulation seems to suffer from a form of regulatory capture -- measures that are great at entrenching the existing players get disproportionate emphasis. You end up e.g. restricting the supply of doctors and then not bothering to make them wash their hands. I'm not saying regulation can't ever do net good, but you have to watch it like a hawk, and who has the incentive to?
...which is how you slowly erode standards for both twisted fun and massive profit.

It's sad and pathetic watching this mission creep of audio degradation at the greed-fueled discretion of corporate profiteering.
I've had fun with the API. I used it to download a bunch of data that I then fed into a system to correlate various things and display information for different parts of the country at several levels.

One of these days, I'll need to start it up again, set up a robots.txt to make sure the Googlebot doesn't crawl it (it has a lot of content generated on demand, including vector maps from shapefile data), and post it here.
Ensure in particular is a bad example. I'm sure it is used in lots of hospitals but it shouldn't be: https://storiesbycarrol.wordpress.com/2015/09/01/food-or-vil...
