> Aren't there German speakers who say "Pommes Frites" the German way and to hell with who ever says that's technically not correct?

As far as I am aware, "Pommes Frites" is pronounced in German nearly the same way as in French. So this is clearly not true.

What is true, is that if you appreciate it to "Pommes" (which is rather colloquial; at least when I hear "Bitte ein mal Pommes mit Mayo", I intuitively think of uneducated, fat (because of bad eating habits) people), this word is pronounced "German". But, as I said, this contraction with German pronunciation is rather associated with uneducated people.

Ok, but how about if you stick to the postwar period?
But isn't that a good thing for the "small government" side of politics? You know, government having businesses doing things, instead of spending taxpayer's money on space exploration instead of defending the nation.

okay so they still spend it on space stuff, but at least not directly.

Would they complain if the government sent money to a privatized firefighting business instead of having firefighting be part of the government?

It's unclear whether this was and is a mistake. You need different kind of people in the beginning and when the company is executing a tested business model.

We can usefully divide intellectual tasks into two sets: filling and framing. Fillers add more useful detail or content within some framework, while framers explore possible new frameworks. While both tasks are essential, framing has higher variance; most frame attempts fail, but a few produce great value.

http://www.overcomingbias.com/2006/12/fillers_neglect.html

This definitely causes issues later on when the organization or movement becomes incapable of replacing the original founders. The founders would need to both hire a lot of fillers and also mentor others like them to take over in the future. But this causes enormous resentment. Fillers will feel (absolutely correctly, this is exactly what happens) passed over for promotions that they by every other metric thoroughly deserve.
In the original article the author said:

> I've never had an interview that tried to evaluate my ability to work in a team or prioritize tasks...

I found this interesting, because there are some good ways to look for this that I always ask when interviewing. I wonder if the author had been checked on these things and just didn’t notice.

One thing I always do in interviews is after I see the approach the candidate is taking, show them another approach and see if they can understand it and run with it. Many candidates struggle with wrapping their brain around any other approach than their own. This is about collaboration and teamwork.

It’s also very common to have behavioral questions that talk through what some challenges were and how you solved them, and to ask probing questions about how the candidate dealt with differing opinions in the best way to proceed. This also is looking at teamwork skills.

Regarding prioritizing tasks, it’s routine for me to ask a candidate to break a problem down into components. Then evaluate which are the most difficult, and which they’d tackle first and why. I’m looking to see if they try to reduce risks early in their process. This is something more senior people do better.

I wonder if the author has indeed been interviewed about teamwork skills and just didn’t realize it.
Now and then a new idea becomes prominent, people argue about it in public, and then move on to the next thing. What's interesting to me is what remains. For example, the wars over atheism or rationalism are long past, so now I can call myself an atheist and rationalist while keeping only the good parts. With emotional labor, people might break lances right now but I can already tell that the idea will stick with me. Managing other people's emotions and maintaining good vibes is an amazing skill, many programmers are lacking in it, and learning it will almost certainly make you happier both at work and at home. Picking up some share of emotional labor doesn't just help the other person - I'm firmly convinced that it helps you more.

Security is about threat models: if you don't trust the code they write on their website, you shouldn't trust the code they shipped in the app.

That's not how copywrite works. It directly covers derivative works.

Disney is well known for remixing existing stories, but they can only do that for things that are in the public domain. They can't retell Harry Potter at Hogwarts. They can only come up with some other story not simply improve an existing one.
Anyone who has an issue with bitcoins 21 mil hard limit does not understand why it was created in the first place. Investigate it before you shoot yourself in the foot with cryptocurrencies that dont have this limit. Bitcoins inventor knew exactly what he/she was doing.

HPKP is dead anyway, Chrome is dropping support for it in the next version anyway.
The worst part is that there seems to be little to no recourse. Unless your a GSuite user, you have no support number to call and have to wait until the issue resolves itself. If it does.
agreed, that's lovely for simple things that I can't quite think of right now but know I'll need in the future (and likely forget this exists)
Yes, but the default configuration is not suitable to that situation. You will need to make some adjustments if you cannot tolerate data loss.
You can’t do that. It’s China. It’s one of the largest markets on Earth and Apple is a public company.

Cook would immediately be fired by the board. They’d put someone new in, and that someone new would comply with China’s demand.

And no one would be better off. As Cook says at least Apple does the best they can and holds the line on other things like encrypting iMessage.
Nowadays it can be used for cross-platform dev too: iOS, Linux, Android, macOS.

Still a pleasant language to use, IMO :)
Nothing gives you a morning dose of fear like reading this about a drug you’ve been on for 6 years. Guess I’ll start looking into alternatives and ways to screen for stomach cancer.

Deflation isn’t guaranteed. Eventually people need to spend. A currency with fixed supply certainly encourages saving. Why is that a bad thing?
Some people (like myself) suffer from functional dyspepsia, in which GERD-like symptoms are observed with no apparent cause. There's really no standard treatment: some people find relief from PPI's, H2 blockers, small doses of SSRI antidepressants, or changes in diet. Every doctor I've talked to (including one of the top gastric neurologists in the country) agrees that, given a choice between taking PPI's long-term or suffering from functional dyspepsia, they'd take the former every time.

I can only suggest that you commit to it for some considerable time, such as six months. I, too, thought it was, at first, a fucking stupid idea, and then, when people I respected continued to advocate it, grudgingly tried it, and thought it was a pain in the ass - this was in 2006. However, the number of times where I've written some code that I thought worked, and then commented it out and rewrote it using TDD, and found bugs, is too high. Its rare, but its too high. So either I'm not that great a programmer, or TDD is useful. Another way to think of TDD is rubber ducking, perhaps.

So you're in a local maximum, and to get to the next, higher, maximum, you're going to have to go through a trough.

As an internal medicine phsysician who has been using a handheld daily for the past few years I would only add that high image quality is not always needed for many of our most important applications: Lung, IVC, bladder, DVT, abscess.

Dunning Kruger is only valid for simple tasks. The study tested, for example, whether participants get a joke. The participants, btw, were all Cornell undergrads, NOT the general population.

The "Dunning Kruger effect" actually reverses and there's a negative correlation for highly skilled and highly knowledge-based tasks like "engineering".

http://www.talyarkoni.org/blog/2010/07/07/what-the-dunning-k....

"...some studies have shown that the asymmetry reported by Kruger and Dunning (i.e., the smaller discrepancy for high performers than for low performers) actually goes away, and even reverses, when the ability tests given to participants are very difficult."

So please don't treat Dunning Kruger as a way to claim anyone who's wrong or you disagree with is suffering from inflated confidence and lack of skill. Do note the potential for confirmation bias as well as inflated confidence in the very claim that others might be prone.

I think a lot of this perception really just stems from how many programmers aren't conveniently aligned along the American political axis.

There's a strong tendency to say that anyone who doesn't have an easily-legible stance "isn't political", but that elides the difference between "doesn't care" and "isn't compatible with the existing political options". Even on "politics versus policy", I meet some programmers who limit themselves to policy based on lack of political interest, and some who limit themselves based on lack of political options.

If you're something like left-libertarian or a privacy-supporting technocrat, modern US parties have roughly nothing to offer you. Those views aren't just outside the mainstream, but perpendicular to it. You can't just try to pull the Democrats left or the Republicans right to reach your views, you have to hope for some complex multi-directional change.

Many of the most political programmers I know have one of those positions. So they lobby against SOPA, or push for pollution taxes over caps, but they don't see much value in advocating for any of the existing players.

(Of course, programmers are also just normal people; all of these generalizations are best understood not as actually common but as how programmers diverge from the mainstream when they do diverge.)
Same story here. Aspirating bile is the worst, that awful soap taste, the burning when breathing.

For me, cutting gluten and fried foods out of my diet entirely minimized my stomach woes. The gluten thing came about after I was tested for antibodies when my son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. So, lucky, not lucky I guess.
I expect the coin markets to take a hit as well. In a recession, people stop spending to preserve their cash and ride it out. I would expect the weaker coin exchanges to go under for lack of trading activity.

As word of this spreads, fewer people will be buying coins for fear of having their coins held by a soon-to-go-under exchange. Lack of demand will then drive exchange rates down.
The US never had a choice about joining the war or not. I know that we knew in advance about Pearl Harbor and I know that the US had already decided to join the war which precipitated specific aggression from the Axis powers against the US but there was no choice. Japan or Germany or both would have eventually come into conflict with the US due to any interests of one or more of the parties.
If your answer was anything about fundraising, marketing, or capital I would fail you. The ability to answer the question that was asked is an unstated implied task. The question is about building something if you had funding and no limitations.
