Take this test to learn if you are ready for business
If it helps someone actually socialize a bit, I'm all for it. I don't mean to sound like I'm shitting on your project or anything, it just feels so weird to me that it's necessary.
Most people are not going to realise the pain. It's one of those issues that affect people but they would never understand why. In spite of scientists saying climate change is real and it's affecting us directly (floods, heat waves,...etc) people still can't put 2 and 2 together to ask for change. I don't think ISPs would be dumb enough to drastically become cable-operatorish and charge customers for every website. The pain will be felt by small companies and competition (albeit indirectly).
Seems like what you need is to learn how to do specific tasks for you site, not learn how to program.

Psst. Schindler was not merely a collaborator, he was a Nazi. You know the whole story there, yeah? That he campaigned for Jewish labor because it was free slave labor? That he had an attack of conscience and reached minimally-decent-human-being status is certainly a thing--but all that enthusiastically-and-freely-undertaken business was Nazi-ass Naz business until his conscience, a notable omission in heildudes like Richard Spencer, made him confront that Jews are, y'know, people.

It is, perhaps, not exactly the hill you want to die on to go "b-b-b-but Oskar Schindler!". Stormfront wants heads on sticks and burning crosses on black folks' lawns. They don't care about Oskar Schindler and they don't care about the plausible deniability that Hatreon really wants suckers and saps to buy into. They know. They know it's there for them and only for them.

Don't use Patreon if you don't like their terms. Don't use Hatreon because they're for Nazis.

NASA isn't a high priority budget item.

China is due to do a few interesting things in space over the next couple years. After that priorities are likely to change.

You explain why it is important to notify about their EOL modems, but you fail to explain why this, of all options, is the appropriate communication channel.

At the very least, you have customer addresses. You should also have phone numbers and email addresses. If you have a way to bill customers, you have a way to contact them.

That's blatantly false. The US, Europe, China, Japan and every top agricultural nation subsidizes agriculture.

Subsidized agriculture has been responsible for pretty much ending hunger in most of the world. Free market agriculture hasn't been responsible for ending any hunger.
I think this is the piece you are referring to:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/22/opinion/courts-net-neutra...

Most relevant section:

>So drastic is the reversal of policy (if, as expected, the commission approves Mr. Pai’s proposal next month), and so weak is the evidence to support the change, that it seems destined to be struck down in court.

> The problem for Mr. Pai is that government agencies are not free to abruptly reverse longstanding rules on which many have relied without a good reason, such as a change in factual circumstances. A mere change in F.C.C. ideology isn’t enough. As the Supreme Court has said, a federal agency must “examine the relevant data and articulate a satisfactory explanation for its action.” Given that net neutrality rules have been a huge success by most measures, the justification for killing them would have to be very strong.

However, a legal challenge will likely take a while to wend it's way to the Supreme Court.
It shouldn't be. The programmer should be able to decide, if they care they'll already be using UglifyJS or some other minimizer.
Artists get screwed over touring too. Live Nation owns most of the arenas they can perform in as well as the places they can sell their tickets through, so most of the money you pay for tickets go to them instead of the artist. And record deals usually include a % of merch sales, which is the reason t-shirts are like $30.
I did this. Paid $1000 at order time. waited 3 months (taking bus while waiting). car came in on a Sunday. went to get it on Monday. the dealer had sold it to someone else. no recourse.

5 Things Our Tech Team Learned About Running a Non-Profit Dinner
For economics at least, there is this rich online textbook called The Economy, published by The CORE Project (Curriculum in Open-access Resources in Economics).

It's opinionated in its approach, in that it stems from students and instructors believing conceptual economic education as it exists today is fundamentally broken and fails to address inequality effectively.

http://www.core-econ.org/the-economy/book/text/0-3-contents....
That really depends on your definition of "supported". It does not form part of the base distribution, nor was there ever any paid support for it.

A Debian developer built a deb package for it and added it to the "main" repository. Everything under "main" is normally considered to be part of the distribution. As you can see from the link I provided, the package was maintained for several years and received several updates until it was dropped for Stretch. That is exactly what I would expect from a supported package in Debian.
That's why they have such low ratings.

One thing that strikes me about comedians like John Oliver is the audience spends far more time cheering than laughing. His act hits the cultural touchstones for his particular audience, which finds him entertaining. But not actually funny.
>> “Shazam, the 18-year-old company...”

Fact that Shazam is 18-years-old made me curious, and found the following on Wikipedia:

>> “Initially, in 2002, the service was launched only in the UK and was known as "2580", as the number was the shortcode that customers dialled from their mobile phone to get music recognised. The phone would automatically hang up after 30 seconds. A result was then sent to the user in the form of a text message containing the song title and artist name.”

Well, here's my bet on what will happen:

3. There will be no immediate catastrophic consequences. Over time, the Internet will become less amenable to innovation and small players and will just overall be worse than it would otherwise. But there will be no sudden dramatic change that will spur action for people who weren't already concerned.
I remember when those came out. My mother, who owned a previous generation Dodge Ram hated the look. A decade or so later, she bought a Dodge Dakota with similar styling cues. She didn't hate it enough to turn down the right combination of price and features.

This is probably a good approach to most markets that are relatively commoditized (early '90s GM, Ford and Dodge full-size pickup trucks were roughly interchangeable): find some way to make yours stand out that a fraction of users are really passionate about, then double down on it.
I think there are a couple of reasons vehicle infotainment systems are somewhat bad across the board.

For starters, cars only get redesigned about every 5 years. That means that most major models that are on the market right now, have only had a full screen interface for 2, maybe 3 generations. So manufacturers can't iterate on what works and what doesn't in terms of their design/development process as quickly as other electronic products.

Figuring out how good, is good enough, and what kinds of personnel, suppliers, and processes you need to design an excellent infotainment system is something that naturally took the auto industry a lot longer than say, smartphones or TV's. Because of that, it took a long time for them to even figure out how a car infotainment should fit in with smartphones. And it took a lot of them a long time to figure out that making an interface touchscreen-only for a car is actually an anti-pattern.
No. She cited what was taught during her studies (she got her license 3 years ago, so the studies have all been within the last 10 years). According to what she was taught, Most mental illnesses correlate positively with lower IQ (apart from neurodevelopmental disorders, which this study measured, and bipolar disease).
> and 100% about companies trying to come up with a standardized, one size fits all tech interview that can be used for every position

Pretty much. We had a conversation at work about this recently, where folks were talking about how they were varying up the interview process depending on the applicant.

Some people pushed back saying we needed a one size fit all process to avoid things being unfair/biaised/etc.

When you push that to the extreme, the google process is what you get (and who gets hired is biased as hell anyway).

While it has its flaws, Ill always push hard for personalized interviews whenever possible. Look at someone's resume to see if its someone who would be useful to you, then test them on THAT to make sure they're not bullshitting on their resume.
It always helps to remember that our political opposites may also possess a sense of humor
Frameworks are used because they provide a lot of functionality for zero dollars. You then sell the SPA to the client including that functionality for non-zero sum. The part in which the site stutters and the like, comes after the client paid and it's too late.

There are also clients that want a website done in Angular. That's what they want and that's what you have to give them.

These are two use cases I found for frameworks and these are the reasons they exist.
There is a Stirling engine design which only has a piston as the single moving part, called a "lamina flow Stirling engine".

Note that while implementations usually show a crank and rod with a flywheel, it could just as easily use a magnet and coil to generate electricity.

That get's you down to a single part.

Then you have this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoacoustic_heat_engine

...that gets you down to something that can generate sound from a heat differential, and you could couple that sound to some kind of transducer to generate electricity. Still a moving part, though.

You probably can't get zero moving parts and yet have it do useful work, but you can get really close I think.
Question from a non-Silicon Valley professional: Where does all that money go? Obviously, some [likely big] portion of it is still on the balance sheet, but does an app like Shazam really cost that much in engineering talent to update it and iterate it and server space to keep it running?

Increasingly I'm seeing NoSQL referred to as NOSQL - not "No SQL" but "Not Only SQL"
When you say "front end development", what exactly do you mean? Because that will strongly influence what you need to learn.

If you mean "JavaScript Programmer" then it'll be mostly JS focused, some tooling, some html and css but minor on those.

If you mean a true frontend dev then you'll need a LOT more on CSS (Flexbox, Grids, box model, etc) and a bunch of UI/UX/HCI type reading in addition to learning in depth modern HTML and CSS and Javascript.

If you mean "I want to learn HTML and CSS" then you'll just want the first half of the previous one.

So I'm curious as to what you're looking for. I'd be happy to recommend reading lists, tooling, etc. I've been doing frontend work for 20 years (and now also do a lot of JS on the server) so I've got a grounding in this!

Just let me know what you're looking to do and I'll help any way I can.

Zero rating is a complex subject. Prior FCC chairman had vowed to look at zero rating on a case by case basis. In the case of T-Mobile, they treated all video services the same and more important did not own a competing video service that they prioritized unfairly over others. Seems sensible to me.

That's a really good point. I have, certainly in Rails projects[1], seen the strangest databases. They are SQL databases that are useless outside the rails application. You actually can't query them in a relational sense, you have to go through the app and its methods of querying, transforming, and merging data, before you understand what it means.

In short, the developers more or less used the ORM to serialize and object and write it out to disk. The persistent data basically makes no sense on its own, it has to repopulate the objects before it can be accessed in any meaningful way. There's little doubt that the devs behind these project had very little understanding of what an RDMBS actually is.

And if you don't, then I suppose NoSql makes sense, because your data is never relational - not because it the relational model wouldn't be helpful, but because the developer can't see the relational model in the data stored, and is incapable of structuring it this way.

I remember this idea (paraphrasing)[2] - the data will outlast the application, and the application will most likely outlast the developer.

To me, this led to a design principle - the database should always be useful outside the context of the application. If you want information about the data you're storing, the DB should be a very, very useful place to get it. I'm not ruling out the value of the app! There are lots of ops you'd want to do as a combination of code and data, lots of UI, plenty of things. But if your data is useless and nonsensical unless your app transforms it, that is probably a sign of a big mistake[3]

[1] I love rails, and I like ORMs. They save me so much typing compared to the old days of JDBC. It turns out it's not all that hard to create a well organized relational database through generators, and if you prefer to design the DB separately, it's not hard to map models to db tables. It really only gets out of control when people are essentially designing an RDBMS through generators and an ORM, but have no idea what idea what it all means on the backend.

Ah, yes, I just looked over the exercises more closely. They seem above the level I'd need. I should probably use something like Treehouse or Codeschool that's more focussed on practical management I'm guessing.

The real key is that automakers have failed to think creatively when it came to answering customer complaints in implementation. Take the one at the end of the article:

"'I wish it was smaller and easier to park,' is probably a common complaint among owners of full-size SUVs. Making an Escalade or Expedition smaller to “please” such a customer would be foolish. But don’t bet against it happening!"

Rather than making it physically smaller, automakers could take the approach of using technology to make it feel smaller. That's what Infiniti did with the QX80. It's an absolutely huge SUV, but has cameras under each of the side-view mirrors, one up front, and another in the back. From this, they stitch the images together into a 360 degree view that looks like the vehicle is being watched by a satellite above. Despite it's size, it's easier to park than my small Mercedes roadster which is so low that the front splitter can't clear parking blocks, causing a great deal of anxiety every time I pull into a parking space.
So kubernetes and mesos (mesosphere is a company, not a product. Mesos is the software) use control groups and linux namespaces colloquially known as "containers" to manage things. In the upstream linux kernel, there is no real concept of a "container", it is just used really for marketing.

There is currently no support in the nvidia kernel module or in upstream linux for cgroup support of GPUs although nvidia is working upstream with Mesosphere on just this. The way a lot of HPC firms do this is using a normal job scheduler (Torque/Maui, SLURM, Univa Grid Engine, etc) with a GPU resource. Then the users use said GPU resource on an honor system more or less and it works provided you don't have malicious users.

Nvidia is working on making this less of a hack, but currently it is very much a hack:

https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker

https://github.com/NVIDIA/libnvidia-container

good luck!
Almost none of which requires one to be able to implement said algorithms from scratch on demand in a 45 minute interview. Yet, here we are where exactly that is the norm in certain circles. Just one more reason why I consider the state of the industry to be closer to farce than reason.
One of the healthy side effects can be that more frontend devs will be caring about payload their users have to download to start using the app/service/website.

Imagine a world where more people think twice before inserting tracking and adware junk into their websites!

Yeah, it's strange - a lot of ES6/next tutorials seem to think that FP concepts in JS just showed up.

I don't get it.
If your goal is to build a company, I think you should focus on the following:

1. Find a problem that you (or someone you know very well) have.

2. Look at the existing solutions to the problem and evaluate not only if you can build a better solution, but also how quickly people will switch to something better if they came across it today (i.e. How fed up are people with current offerings? How easy will it be for them to switch?).

3. Build and market something for a very small group of customers or users. Focus on making that group extremely happy with your product or service. (It could be as small as one customer or user at first.)

I'd say, to refresh your memory, try and rewrite some of your old code with ES6 syntax. I don't think you even need a transpiler since new versions of node and chrome have very good support for new additions to the syntax. And if you used jQuery before, try to use native APIs too.

You'll end up with code that is almost unrecognizable but easier to read and …prettier?

If you don't come to like the language then, you'll find the ecosystem of transpilers and bundlers and tooling unbearable.
The French have a long history of beheading bureaucrats who refused to properly do their jobs. It was a system of checks that helped keep the bureaucrats from becoming tyrannical, ignoring the will of the public, and farcically rigging votes. It seems that Paj has embodied all three of these characteristics, and in an incredibly short amount of time. It would behoove him to realize that the only thing that keeps anyone safe in the country is the social contract we have with eachother. The government has the power to find and punish people, but not the power to keep any individual safe. Breaking this social contract is very dangerous, and Paj seems to think that because he holds a government office, this contract no longer applies to him.

Indeed. I'm redesigning a database in Postgresql, and I'm taking the approach of building the best schema, and I'll tweak the ORM (ActiveRecord in Rails in our case)to work with that, as opposed to the other way around. (Currently we're probably 80% raw SQL)

Cite any source that indicates most of the money comes from individual employees making independent choices to support. I disagree with your claim.

EDIT: It seems like some companies actually incentivize employees to give to certain campaigns, by providing perks to those who give. It sounds more like coercion than an independent choice. It would appear to put employees in a difficult situation to say no to your employer don't you think?

There's not much the president can do about that since it's up to Congress to allocate the funds. House terms are only two years long, and if you allocate funds to this kind of thing you have nothing to show for it in the next election cycle unless the project brings jobs to your district.
I would agree that it looks very complex today. But it's not too challenging to learn.

I would advise learning React (they have both create-react-app and Expo now to make the experience simpler) from the docs.

When learning React, some things were alien at first, but after getting the basics down I realized writing JS applications with React felt much simpler than what I used to be doing. It resulted in shorter file lengths and cleaner code, and the concepts shouldn't feel too foreign if you have backend experience (it's probably harder if you learned JS through jQuery and webpage interactivity logic).
