Android is _completely_ open source. You can build an entire usable system from scratch yourself: https://source.android.com/setup/

The only closed source stuff is device-specific hardware drivers.

Also, Android the platform is more open than iOS, you can build and install any APK you like and even root your device if you want. iOS restricts you to the app store.

> My guess is that the popularity of these professions is that they are all relatively low-qualified ones suitable to people working while studying or "filling gaps" before getting a "good job" in IT.

Yeah, I mean I don't doubt that's why they show up frequently. It's more like: In a discussion about attorney/physician burnout, I don't often see people say "well you think being an attorney is hard? Try construction..."

The discussion in that case would be something more like, "if you don't like being an attorney go be an accountant" - something like that, if that makes any sense.

> It could be, but I doubt that there are many people that after having invested in an education in either law or medicine and actually had a suitable job in those professions left them to become a full-time programmer, particularly an employed full-time programmer.

I see what you're saying, but my point was more like: Shouldn't we be comparing software development to those professions? As in, "software development is incredibly easy compared to being an attorney"?

> Since every other guy here seems to be well in the hundred of thousands US$/year or more, I would say, if this is the case, "exceptionally well paid plumbers/electricians".

I thought that was becoming more and more common in those professions (electricians especially seem to be well compensated)?

Second, to say that bitcoin has "intrinsic value" is the same rubbish thats applied to gold. Value is _always_ subjective.

The noise about competition for "fiat currency" is just that, noise. At best its equivalent to a bond, worse coffee futures.

Exchanges are perfectly able to do fractional reserve banking, so bitcoin is very much a fiat currency. Its basically what bitcoin exchanges do
It might seem like that now but if you're travelling and don't have internet access or you live in an area with poor cell reception, storage starts to look extra important.

Agreed on all points.

Perhaps I'm advocating for a frivolous courtesy versus a fully rational process. Maybe the rational process works better than my suggested approach, but my intuition says no, and would prefer that it be done in a way that communicates "I can help you, but money is a requirement", not "I really wish you would fuck off, but here's an alternative".
I think this piece needs to be taken with the context of the author’s work history which heavily colors her professional experience.

It’s easy to look up on LinkedIn. Once I saw it, her post made a ton more sense. I offer no value judgements as I know better than to do that (whether positive or negative, not interested in engaging).

The best indie titles hold their own on design and experience against AAA, albeit assembled less expensively.

I miss the simplicity of CommonJS.

> Ecma Script Modules which finally solved the problem of sharing code between files (modules) on a language level. It was a huge step forward

Step forward? We were writing modules just fine in 2010. I don’t know a single project off the top of my head that actually benefits from tree shaking. It has been 5-6 years since modules appeared and there is little to show for it. We could do almost the same with node’s commonjs. You could write code that would run anywhere without pre-processing or transpiling. Every time I see a project where the first three pages of documentation are about setting up Babel and webpack I feel like switching off.
Little known fact: in his heyday and for a few decades after, Wagner was the 3rd most written about person in Western Civilization after Jesus and Napoleon.

No it was exactly what he said. First he complained about those feature requests with a meaningless "thanks in advance" attached (OK fine with me so far) but then with the phrase I quoted he made it clear that he doesn't like to be thanked in any shape or form.
I'm not sure I buy that attorneys are significantly better educated, especially in some more traditional firms (e.g. MS) where a masters isn't unusual. It's only an additional year of schooling on top of that.

Fair point on the licensing though. Maybe that's what most commonly separates blue collar from white collar these days - licensing? Trying to think of other professions I would compare software development to, and they all require licenses (traditional engineering, for example).

> Maybe I'm just getting jaded but I'd say yes. Outside the big 4 and a few other niches, most developers seem to just be gluing together whichever pre-made web frameworks and libraries happen to currently be in vogue. Patience with the endless yak-shaving needed to get anything to work rather than any particular technical brilliance is the primary requirement for career longevity.

Yeah, I'm starting to get that impression as well.

To be fair, though, I think many US physicians would tell you a similar thing (being brilliant isn't nearly as important as how adept you are at navigating the healthcare/insurance system).
"The more you clamp down on ways to exploit the system the more player's will respect their achievement." Those are very wise words and something that never crossed my mind. Master Sloth will definitely be making an appearance in some way and I've added it to the Trello board. I do plan on having some form of social interaction, probably something simple to start like sharing constellations you make to social media and I'm most likely going to implement a further limit on star making based on your suggestion.

As for Nebula evolving in to a dating app, if a single person ever shared anything related to this app in a tinder bio for any reason at all, I think that's when I'll know it's time for a hard pivot. I believe (and I could be totally wrong) there have been links to people's odors and who they find attractive because we seek partners with complementary immune systems to our own and one indicator of that is the way someone smells. Maybe sleep patterns have a similar correlation. If the pivot ever happens I'll credit you for giving the idea.
To be fair, JavaScript hardly deserves being compared to Linux. People don't loathe JavaScript for no reason. The language itself is pretty rough around the edges.
So yeah, publify not nationalize. But the argument is clear. Not going to resist the rationality of the market, after all.

Well said. He missed his biggest and best opportunity for not only comfort but revenge as well, by not talking honestly and openly about it. Seems paradoxical that he'd be brave enough to die, but not to try that. And don't just tell one person; scatter it to the four winds. Ideally go on Oprah so you can have a million people supporting you and hating your abuser for you. Yeah you'll lose your precious precious secret that way, but that's kind of the whole point. It stops being your sole burden, yes, but more importantly it stops being the thing you protect at all costs. Anything you protect at all costs is obviously the most important thing in your life, right? So if you want it to stop being that, you have to demote it from that lofty position. The day you can talk about it as casually as ordering a sandwich is the day you've finally licked it. But it can be scary to start letting go of the thing you've been hanging onto your whole life, even (ironically) when that thing is so profoundly shitty.

Shame is just the shadow of pride. The same advice applies to both: get over yourself. The difference is, with pride it's so other people can stand you. With shame it's so you can stand yourself.

Simply using open-source projects is definitely a way to say thank you. I have several projects on github and I am very grateful for developers trusting and using my code. It says much more than a 'thumps up'.

It's quite common.

My last company required IP assignment of all works that were:

- created on company hardware or

- related to the business in which the company engages

...and that struck me as eminently reasonable as a default. My current company defaults to everything full stop. I'm pretty sure this is going to be the default for most knowledge work in any state that hasn't specifically ruled such provisions unenforceable.

> Medical schools can accept students straight out of high school, as long as they've completed the required pre-medical coursework. They don't, however, because those students drastically underperform their peers who received an undergraduate degree in a different field.

I guess all those Australian medical schools will be interested in hearing how their graduates "drastically underperform" all these American doctors who did a postgraduate medical school.

http://www.med.monash.edu.au/medicine/admissions/direct-entr... - Bachelor of Medicine, a 5 year undergraduate degree with direct entry from school, and the 5th year being clinical rotations.

Seems to work well enough, to me, as someone who has used physicians extensively in both countries, and worked in healthcare in both. "drastically underperforming" doesn't really fit that picture.
You may be correct from a strictly technical point of view but then "digital currency" becomes a meaningless term. After all, one could argue that USD is a "digital currency" as well, given that cash transactions are a minuscule part of all transactions.
Also, I can easily devise a "digital currency" which handles billions of tx/s...between address A and address B.

It's not out of context. He first gave a specific example of what kind of "thanks" he doesn't like, but then with the part I quoted he made clear that he not only doesn't like those hypocritical thank yous attached to feature requests, but that he doesn't want/care to be thanked "in any shape or form". That's a crystal clear statement that was not taken out of context.

I, uh . . . I guess I'll go do something else now.
Not the OP, but if you run a business, you must be very careful to correctly declare all your income, make sure you invoice properly, pay taxes, etc.

Just because soneone “donates” money, it doesn’t mean that you don’t have to pay taxes.

So in general it only pays off if it is above a threshold. If a company offers to donate 2000€, I would find a way to make it work. But if it’s just a one off donation of 10€, I’d rather not bother my accountant with it.
The three main functions of money are store of value, medium of exchange and unit of account. I use these three functions right now with cryptocurrencies.

Your premise to dismiss cryptocurrencies is that you don't believe I'm gonna be able to keep using these three functions in the future. We had cryptocurrencies close to 10 years and the next 10 years just look brighter than the last.
The Jetbrains toolbox UI (and your downloader) do very little. Blizzard's app does a great deal more but is a terrible, sluggish, battery-hogging mess, which also includes web UI elements of some sort. Even Blizzard knows this which is why the app has a setting to hide its windows after launching a game. It doesn't feel like an example of a quality Qt app at all, if such a thing exists.
Since it's distributed, maybe mods can be handled as microservices. Then it wouldn't matter the source language.

> If you gave me your bitcoin address I could transfer you some right now, we don't have to meet up

Huh? I mean this is obviously not what I'm talking about, I don't think I have to elaborate further.

> If merchants in your area accepted bitcoin you could then use that to pay for goods & services

A prohibitively impractical "if" for the vast majority of wants and needs. That's just an undeniable reality.

> Ok, I bought some of my bitcoin using my bank account but I could've also mined it at some stage (unrealistic now but besides the point) - no bank needed.

Not beside the point at all, that is exactly point: the "no bank account needed" is only true in theory. It's like saying "if you get into a serious car accident just pay for the medical costs out of pocket: see, no insurance needed!"

> Do multiple competing unions happen in the same workplace happen in the US ?

No, and that's basically by law. Unions lobbied (successfully) for laws which grant them permanent, exclusive access to the bargaining unit once 50% + 1 vote in favor of it.

Pretty much the only cases where you'd have separate unions are where they're representing different types of workers altogether (ie, nurses vs janitors) or when they're not actually employed by the same organization (ie, two different sets of subcontractors).

> And are there some cross-category unions (where workers in different areas and jobs are members of the same overarching organization

Yes, in fact almost every union is affiliated with a federation like the AFL, UAW, Teamsters, etc.

As an author of dozens of open-source projects, I was really surprised how entitled / rude people can be. I was even told f-word just because I used babel for compiling JS. I was like WTF.

I don't have any obligations to solve their problems.

Non UI code lives in a static/shared lib that gets called from UI code. The non-UI code shouldn’t be coupled to a UI at all, instead reporting progress/completion via callbacks or other notification mechanisms.

Shamir's Secret Sharing Scheme (ssss) would allow you to encrypt your recovery words in such a way that you could distribute the encrypted recovery words to N parties, and require the knowledge of K parties (n < k) to decrypt the secret.

ssss doesn't rely on any trusted party--for example, you could split into 5 "shares", and set a threshold of 3. Then distribute the shared amongst 5 of your most trusted friends (selecting them in such a way that it's unlikely they'll collude), and instruct them to only use their share of the secret when they've confirmed your death. 3 of them would have to "come together" (physically, or over a shared terminal or screen) and enter their "shares" to decrypt your recovery words. However, this would cause all 3 of them to know your recovery words.

To get around that, don't encrypt the recovery words themselves using ssss. Instead, encrypt the recovery words using a modern, strong, encryption algorithm, using a randomly generated key. Then use ssss to encrypt the randomly generated key, and share that.

Only give the ciphertext of the recovery words to the intended recipient upon death.

Instead of friends, you could also split the secret between your executor and the intended recipient/family remember, requiring consent from both.

Whatever you do, don't forget to write thorough instructions :)
So people would wait forever until the prices of homes reaches $1? That seems unlikely. People would never buy anything then?

Wouldn't they just wait until the price of something matches what they deem is fair value? And if it never goes down to a fair value, then they wouldn't buy it (that might include things like cryptocurrencies, huge TVs, Pets.com stock, and lots of nice-to-haves that waste a lot of resources but props up that vanity GDP metric and "boosts" the economy)
