My perspective is to stop "networking" (unless you are in sales/bd) and develop friendships instead.

Meet friends of friends at dinner parties, house parties, birthdays, baby showers, game nights, etc. I used to host poker nights, board game nights and chess nights where I'd invite people from different friend circles so they could get to know each other, and they could in turn bring their own friends.

For people more senior than you, seek to be in their company when their guard is down (i.e. they are not in "work mode"). Activity groups tend to facilitate this.

From time to time you can just start talking to someone cold (I guess it's kind of like making a move on a member of the opposite gender at a bar/cafe). I met one of my good friends and a great programmer because we were sitting next to each other at the bar seats at a brunch joint, and I struck up a conversation with him about the book he was reading (Wealth of Nations). That was 3 years ago and we still meet up on a monthly basis to talk about anything from our careers to philosophy.

Say "yes" to all invitations (but don't go to "networking events"!). Make yourself available. Just generally be around people.

But know yourself -- don't go to places that you don't like (for me, that's bars!), or force yourself to interact people who you just don't get along with. Being more effective and energized and excited to talk to 10% of the population beats being blase about trying to interact with 100% of the population, any day.
Scaevolus, I recognise that name. #0x10c-dev on freenode? rmmh? skybot?

I created a logsql.py plugin for skybot, it just logs to the DB instead of to text files. Is that something you'd be interested in merging back in?
Do not agree. Habits will change as it will be cheap. My kids already are very, very comfortable using Uber where me and my wife are like let's take our car.
It has to be Torvalds. They said "highly successful".
I wish that was the case, but it is not.
You can verify this yourself as H1B salary data are publicly available http://h1bdata.info.

Take a look for example at Wayfair in Boston. Majority of their H1B Developers make around $50k-$70k.
This is significantly less than the prevailing wages around Boston, so it is quite clear that they are using H1Bs as cheap labor source.
I've never heard that from anybody who actually used computers in 1983.

Latency problems in the web/app world are the result of adware/bloatware/trackers/etc. and/or poorly-implemented frameworks and stacks, not modern hardware or O/S.
No, they're meant for jobs that cannot be filled by an American; not just any "skilled labor".
And? All that is written in the article. The question is whether or not forcing users to partake in field trials is a good idea.

If you say journalists were justified in blocking Disney from awards consideration over Disney blocking a newspaper who reported on their actions during the Anaheim City Council elections, then you kinda disproved your theory that there isn't any high ground.
You can explore popular GitHub repos and filter by "Unknown languages": https://github.com/trending/unknown
Litho Options for Panel Fan-Out
So everyone goes back to reviewing movies ahead of time and Disney feels no pain from their actions beyond a small PR hit.

I feel like everyone framing this as "We won't pre-review movies until you lift the block" gave them too easy of an out.

Why do people expect web font metrics to be pixel perfect? The user may (gasp!) even block web font downloads.
No, that's not what they should have done. If they stood by their reporting, the response to violence or bullying doesn't always have to be more violence or bullying. It's actually possible to stand by your reporting, and continue to pursue a story, without resorting to blackmail.

Both sides demonstrated their moral flexibility for using extortion to get what they wanted. That much is clear.

What makes me "weep" is the abundance of logical fallacies deployed against my stated suspicion of the tactics used by a very powerful group to bring Disney to heel. Maybe they needed to be brought to heel, but I dislike the methods and again I am deeply suspicious of the coordinated exercise of power which was on display here.
There is always the redundant backup of actually looking at your tyres to see how flat they are.
There should be a symlink for this to `send-kudos`. That way it's not like clicking Start to shut down - the way things are now, sending kudos is currently hidden in the "this is broken" reporter.
One would imagine machine learning is being applied here to recognize some obvious things:

1) Does the face match the user who uploaded the image
2) What is the image of (food, architecture, human, etc)
3) Does the image seem to contain nudity
They ended it because they bit of more than they could chew, not out of altruism. Once they had threats of losing out on critics awards, they jumped ship instantly.
So the university could just adjust tuition downward for programs for which everyone gets a scholarship anyway.

Yes, this is what would happen. They probably couldn't adjust it down to zero as that would trigger a legal challenge from the IRS but they could very likely make it much lower than it is today.

I understand that you can be frustrated in a situation like this, but do they act like this in person as well if someone makes a mistake or if they have a disagreement?

I don't even see why they bring up the poor version handling of Google Fonts in this issue. They should send the feedback to Google or stop using Google's services.
Look at it this way: SQLite3 is (more or less) slowly becoming SQLite4, except for the parts that did not work out.

It is not as shiny, but in the long run, you still get all the goodness. Nevermind the name / version number.
> Historically, 9% of Tweets in English hit the character limit.

More like 9% of posted tweets hit the character limit. I bet a much higher number hits above the character limit and then are trimmed down to fit. It doesn't sound like they consider that, and so it leads to it seeming like only a small number of tweets are limited by 140 characters when I'm sure a muuuch larger number of tweets could benefit from using "you" instead of "u" and such.
The cost is driven by land value. Increased financing increases demand, increases land value (price).

Reducing financing, or a land value (Georgian) tax should address both points.
> The gendered metaphor of the "faithful" translation, whose worth is always secondary to that of a male-authored original...

Huh? I mean, men can be faithful too, and women author originals.
"Arguably" as in -- the argument could be made. It's not an argument I would personally make, I was trying to identify with epistasis' position.

IMO the high ground is fairly simple; You report on the fact that Disney is retaliating for a story they don't like and allow the Streisand effect to carry you to swift and decisive victory, without having to resort to extortion yourself.
The Copenhagen Metro runs all day and all night, so it's pretty easy to find an empty or almost empty train -- near the end of a line at 3am on Tuesday should work.

The scenario certainly also works for trains in general -- perhaps even more so, since an older, manually driven train is less likely to be filled with CCTV cameras linked to a control room. (The metro has this, but it seems they're only monitored once someone presses the emergency button.)
As opposed to what?

Prototype-based is a form of OOP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype-based_programming

And "functional programming language" would be way too fine a point, like calling Ruby an FP language.
And why?
Honeypot is pushing for lowest possible salaries; they outright reject you for wanting 100k EUR jobs even if you held such positions before. They are more like agency for startups wanting cheap labor to quickly burn through. Mind you, German startups rarely give you equity, bypass labor laws (small sizes), pay low and expect insane dedication.
> Though I do wish they created a more user-extensible browser, a bit a la Emacs.

That's what Firefox used to be, and one of the main things that got it to where it is now. But 57 is also the one that drops that flexibility with removal of the XUL.

Supposedly there'll be new API calls for WebExtension-converted add-ons, but it seems to be really slow going. Between this and the Electrolysis update that also broke a lot of add-ons, I've seen a few get abandoned by their devs, who are fed up with Mozilla breaking what works.
You only need to make a one pixel change (or just use a lossy compression format) before a hash such as SHA256 or MD5 returns a false negative. You need to create a perception hash of the image. I still think that could be done on-device, but who knows what kind of machine learning/object recognition stuff they're doing on the server side.

So like the way apple security updates gimp the performance of your device?

These kind of business practises are Apple's biggest contribution to the computing industry. Didn't invent them but made them absolutely "the norm" and everyone, even hardware manufacturers want to emulate Apple's stunning success. I used to hate Microsoft business practises, Apple are far, far worse the only reason they didn't seem it was because they had such a pathetic market share. Only one thing has changed. Think different. Think critically about what Apple are.

If Intel copy apple here, can you object to intel doing it but not Apple with a straight face?
Support contracts according to another comment here. That's usually how open source projects make money as well.
Why is this being targeted in the new tax plan?

It's not really being targeted. It's just part of an across the board change to get rid of or reduce tax deductions of all kinds.
Same here. Had to switch to dockerized mariadb for local tests, because migrations wouldn't work.
Seriously, Google. Stop taking Facebook's advice. At your scale, "move fast and break things" raises entire industries to the ground in one fell swoop when something is unfortunate enough to get caught in the crossfire.

Okay, we get it, you're so insecure and your corporate management is so fickle and uncertain everything is in a constant state of flux. But we, the general public, aren't supposed to be aware of how much of everything is on fire. It's unprofessional when you leak that much information. You're not hiding your tells very effectively...

Be more like swans. Feet flipping like mad under the water, calm and serene on the surface. Be consistent. Be predictable. Be something everyone can count on. Nobody knows what you'll pull the plug on next week. What you replace it with doesn't matter. "Look at us we augmented our muscles so we can run faster than cheetahs!!1" is just passive-aggressive and rude. Technically it's an undeniably viable way to compete, practically your laundry list of unimpressed casualties isn't getting any shorter. You need to look at the bigger picture and stop just hyperfocusing on the clinical, sterile mathematical stance.

I remember opening a javascript file somewhere between 2006-2009 and seeing the string "don't be evil'" (including the single quotes, just like that - the weird formatting is why I remember it verbatim). That disappeared a few years ago. Can we have that back? You're currently into a race into the ground, and you'll be dead within the next 20 years if you don't stop.
It certainly would be a bold claim if I made it. Why would I engage with hypothetical positions which I didn't take?

Your use of 'free' here is correct from the perspective of a developer working for intel, but as a user with a cpu running modified and previously opensource, but now closedsource, software it isn't applicable to me. GPL would have protected more of my freedom, provided they didn't just violate the GPL.

Shouldn't this just be email serving domains? e.g. `https://mail.google.com` et al? Also it'd be great if the Chrome webstore could offer some verification, so that as long as I trust Github and Google, I can confirm that the code I see at Github is the extension I'm installing.

The first line on the page peaked my interest:

I assume there is a fair amount of security involved in the day-to-day sysadmin work of a CA. I wonder what kind of work environment their sysadmins have, in terms of secure computing, VPN (or something BeyondCorp-like), etc..
Yes, it is, but I also initially assumed that this was a successor to SQLite3. No, it didn't take long to correct that misunderstanding, but it would be nice if the title were clearer.
A/B testing is not some nefarious scheme to harm users. When Google or Mozilla wants to add a new feature, there are basically three choices:

(1) Opt-in: Add the feature to the new version. Users must choose to upgrade.

(2) Opt-out: Roll out the new version automatically, unless the user actively choose not to.

(2a) Opt-out with A/B test: Roll out the new version to a small portion of users first, and proceed if nobody catches fire.

Once you decided to use opt-out, there aren't that much difference between (2) and (2a). The major difference is that with (2a), a smaller number of users are hit when an unforeseen bug inevitably finds itself into release process.

And of course we know what happens when something like a web browser relies on the users to actively click "Upgrade". I'm sure there are some people still using IE6.
Well, too much headwind I guess, ban already ended:

ADSL still pretty different to something like Ethernet - not that i understand Ethernet terribly well either. Ethernet is baseband: it really is a digital on-off signal, with Manchester encoding, 8/10 encoding, 64/66 encoding, etc. ADSL is broadband: there is modulation into phase and frequency patterns.

Mind you, 8/10 encoding is amazing as well, and a good explanation of that would be well worth a read for this audience!
The thing is these edge cases being given have relatively easy solutions and when consider in the context of Google has cars driving themselves they do not seem like a huge issue.

But the sooner we get to the next phase so sooner they can be better understood and solved. I want this to get rolling. It is time.
It's not that MIT & others lagging, but the US certainly is.

The most significant research happens at the graduate level and beyond. US students are disproportionately under represented at the graduate level. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/03/education/edlife/american...

The high cost for US students in undergrad is one reason for this. These schools haven't been lagging behind because grad students found a to H1->GC->Citizen. If that path becomes difficult, then these students will just stay in their home countries.
No I wouldn't suggest ignoring it, but I also would propose it's possible to respond in a way that's highly effective but yet not itself extortion.

EDIT: Might I add -- can you please explain why you say Disney "is attempting to use its might in order to completely bypass freedom of the press, and end oversight of what it's doing in the city council elections in Anaheim"?

At what point did Disney even come close to trying to take down the LA Times reporting, or imprison someone for reporting it, or somehow stop the oversight from happening? Clearly by trying to retaliate they only gave the story more legs. There was never a question of LA Times retracting their story. And "freedom of the press" doesn't mean that companies can't restrict access to their own products in response to negative coverage.

Upthread someone mentioned Apple did something very similar with iPhone X. Companies provide favorable access to favorable journalists all the time. To me, it was the MSM retaliation which raised an eyebrow. And again, maybe they did it for good cause, but it was eyebrow-raising [to me] none the less.
Async iterators will be cool.

Since Java blocks, you can implement a crawler as a custom iterator that makes API requests / paginates behind the scenes and thus abstracts away the fact that it's making a series of requests since the callsite just iterates over the values as it finds them.

Would be nice to have that sort of abstraction in Node.
It's especially tough if they're being truthful that they don't store the image, only the hash. Very tough to dispute if the photo itself can't be reviewed in a dispute to see if it was a meme. The other comment about ML img categorization is probably the best bet.
I'm thinking the solution needs to be multi-pronged:

UBI, an employer of last resort capable of enforcing a minimum living wage, specific support for those who cannot manage their own affairs or be addressed solely through additional money, and a land tax to put a cap on housing appreciation and costs, as well as to spur denser development. Oh, and jettisoning anti-density zoning and building codes.

I'm not sure that's sufficient, but I think it covers a broader set of issues than approaches of the past 40-50 years have managed.
This is definitely NOT TRUE. I've written a library which is used from both Java and Scala and it just works. Here: https://github.com/Hexworks/zircon

Just because you didn't manage to get it working does not mean that interop is not two-way.
Completely separate accounts. I have one master account, which I almost never use but which can be used to reset the others; I'm thinking of using Google's extended verification process for it. I have a personal account for family & friends; I have a 'public personal' account which I give to companies and acquaintances as my personal account; I have a work account for each job I do.

I never, ever access a personal account from a work machine; I never, ever access a work account from a personal account.

If I ever get back into blogging, I'll keep all my political thoughts in a login-required section for my family & friends and keep the publicly-available articles technical & professional. There's no point needlessly antagonising a potential client or colleague.
Hi, this is a legitimate email from Facebook. Nude photo blackmailing is a growing problem. You may have heard that we, Facebook, are having users upload nude photos to fight revenge porn.

I would argue 'integrates so easily into the imperative JS ecosystem' is not a differentiating factor over all the other JS frameworks, so its declarative programming style is far more likely to be the reason it is popular (and in my experience/opinion, this is absolutely the case).

If you just meant popularity vs Elm however, then sure.
You're describing a lot of what happens here with regards to scoring, just from a different perspective. Slashdot had actual discussions where it was acceptable to hold competing ideas and you didn't have to agree to disagree, unlike here. It's personal preference what sort of forum one likes.

All features are potentially buggy. There's no particular reason to allow users to opt out from trials, same as there's no reason to allow opt out from upgrades. The chance that you will be impacted negatively is minimal.

I'm not sure what you mean. It leaks the targeted group, that was the point.
Well, you definitely wrote an opinion that selectively ignored context in order to make something reasonable sound unreasonable, which indicates your willingness to selectively ignore context to evaluate ethics, hence the reading that you endorse that as a general behavior...

That cost is definitely not bandwidth. Content delivery is around $0.005-0.01 per GB with an external provider. Less if yiu have the scale to do it in house. My guess is that the bulk of that spend is compute + storage/io.
