College students should be sufficiently smart and mature, yes. I didn't read the article as saying that college students should deliberately make mistakes for the sake of having made them. Rather, the article was focusing more on the response when inadvisable behavior occurs. Should it be seen as a moral fault on the individual, to be punished, or should it be seen as a societal failure, to be used as a teaching moment?

The problem is that it is very hard to have situational rules as a population size gets very large. For a population of 100, everybody knows everybody else, and so any failing can be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Since you see everybody every day, you can tell which failings are habitual, and which are rare. For a population with limited communication, exile is a useful tool, including self-inflicted exile after social shaming.

This is a useful conversation to have, because we are seeing the first generation with fast communication and indefinite storage. Effectively all college students now have everything about them recorded. 40 years down the line, all politicians will have a searchable history. We, as a society, will need to figure out how to deal with this glut of details, as no previous strategy suits the new situation. There are too many people to keep track of, so one can't get a feel for everybody's habitual behavior. There are also too many details available, so the previous strategy of excluding everybody who has a memorable negative detail available is no longer valid.

This turned into more of a ramble than I had expected, but I think it is a complicated issue, which deserves thought.

Do you charge it with a stand or fast charger? Anything with more amps than the original plug? If I do that it really screws up the phone and it loses charge really quick. A few days of old fashioned charging and it’s ok again. Same thing screwed up my wife’s iPhone battery

I always wondered what the bizarre hype about the d.school at Stanford was about.
Same here. But I'm sure neither of us would enjoy it as much if it was a random college student instead.
A refreshing comment. I feel like people often overlook the importance of execution. Though, basing one's execution off shaky ideas is not really the best either.

I'm sorry, "shower" can not be found in the featured article.
Right. A sidereal day. Sorry. His point flew right over my head. I see it now.
Once, I noticed that a minor piece of how Google's Python system tests could be very slightly cleaner and more consistent. It would be a tiny change, it seemed very safe, and it was easily accomplishable with a short sed script, but it'd also be a backward-incompatible change across the projects of hundreds of teams and thousands of build targets. I was able to make that change with only a few commits and without needing to bother most of those teams.

These sorts of small, general, large scale cleanup commits are quite common at Google, and they're encouraged. They help keep the codebase healthy. There are special groups that review them so that all of the individual teams affected don't have to bother, and there are tools to manage the additional testing and approval requirements for such a change.

At my previous company, making such a change would have been a major undertaking. I never would have considered a refactor of that scale without a critical need. They had thousands of packages, each of which had its own repository and an incredibly complex web of build and runtime dependencies. It was a nightmare, and fiddling to find a working sets of versions of internal dependencies took up way, way too much of my time each day.
I thought I was just unlucky because nobody else shared the same experience as I have had, but you describe exactly the same behavior I've encountered since iOS11

Probably invest in yourself.

1) Buy books about programming / machine learning / etc and read them. Add some online courses to get some practical knowledge.

2) Flight ticket & hotel to go to some interesting tech conference and do some networking (this can lead to opportunities later).

3) You could also buy some new hardware for development, if your current gear is getting old and clunky. This also is good long term investment.
I bought the battery and replacement kit on Taobao, like China's ebay. Just pull up the front panel and replace the battery.
Without trying to sound dismissive of someone I admittedly I haven't read - this just seems really obvious to me.

(1) All batteries degrade. This should be accounted for in the initial design, so that there is sufficient battery life at the end of product life, not just at the beginning.

(2) Replacing the battery should be simple. Pop open the back cover, pull out the battery, and push the new one in. Heck, I used to carry a spare battery just in case, because it took 15 seconds to swap. Taking it to a phone shop and waiting an hour isn't what I would call simple.
You're mixing your siderial vs. solar days.
First, I agree with you about companies worrying prematurely or unnecessarily about “google scale”. You saw this a lot in the NoSQL hype days. You can go pretty darn far with even a single MySQL instance.

Second, source level dependencies bs binary level dependencies has s a choice and a commitment.

Even at large companies release schedules can really hinder you.

I didn’t hear about the JUnit issue but I can believe it. With code bases this large you have to get really good at static analysis (dynamic languages are your enemy here), tooling for refactoring and just general hygiene of the code baee.
Can someone further explain how the pre commit phase works? I don't get how/why "pre commits" work without feature branches?

How are my changes shared with the reviewer, if I there is no feature branch? Is my local code uploaded to that review tool mentioned in the article? And then what happens if the reviewer requests changes?

I probably did get this completely wrong, so thanks in advance for pushing me in the right direction.

Because typically you can't get away with sneaking code like `void keylogger() {` into freely available code. Even if hidden well, it will be discovered sooner or later with enough eyes. The only insecurities "allowed" by open-source code are accidents, and these can be discovered much quicker than accidents included in proprietary code.

I'm a bit disappointed by the current comments here. "Skype" can't have been the answer the OP was looking for? It's like saying JavaScript made you a more effective programmer. No, it just made you a programmer.

I'd like to add a less conventional tool to the list:

We're currently trying out https://sneek.io, a tool that takes a mugshot every minute and shares it with the team on a panel. Most of us use it on a separate device next to their workstation/laptop. The idea is that it simulates an office environment a tiny bit. This has two great benefits: 1) you know whether someone is behind their computer. Knowing that someone is away means your IM message will not get a speedy response for sure so you won't wait for it (or maybe not even ask it). This reduces time spent in IM. Secondly, faces instead of names, text and voices somehow makes the team feel more like a team.

This concept was popularized by Sqwiggle, but they went bust. I'd be very interested to hear other people's experiences with tools like this.

By the way, anyone found a good Screenhero replacement? Slack bought them but even 2 after years in development hell their calling and sharing support is ridiculously slow and buggy. For the uninitiated, Screenhero was a tool that gives everyone their own mouse pointer in a screen sharing session. Perfect for pair programming.
The thing is, if one ore more major exchanges go down, there might be a panic, which rapidly decreases the selling price and thus, the value of BTC. So where is your store or value, if you can’t withdraw?

What if a law is passed that allows BTC currency conversion only to a small amount per day, because of whatever reason?

Currencies like the USD don’t have this property. There is no need to exchange your money to make it valuable.
But that's what I don't understand. Either God 'A' who is believed by Religion 'X' exists or doesn't exist. If 'A' exists, then even if 'X' didn't believe in 'A', 'A' would still exist. (At least assuming that 'X' is a subset of all religions that I know) If 'A' doesn't exist then 'X' believing in it doesn't make 'A' exist anymore.

I can't think of any religion where pure belief of people cause deities pop into existence. Unless of course you are calling the fact that people talk about the deity as popping them into existence. In that case, you can say that JK Rowling caused Voldemort to pop into existence (how evil of her).
> free of any government interference

This is incorrect. Free markets rely on enforcement of contracts, property rights, and prohibitions on force and fraud. This requires a government.

For example, stealing from your neighbor is not a free market operation. Neither is delivering someone a Ford when you sold it as a Ferrari.
The auto update happened to me too and broke all my good extensions including All In One Gestures and NoScript.

How do you disable the auto update? For now I've manually installed an older compatible version.
This author has no vision. Within five years, we will have big energy crisis: we will produce more energy than what we can consume! Solar farm in Dubai is built for only 3¢/kWh this year. Solar energy is crushing fossil fuels. We will become type 1 civilization faster than you can imagine.

Legendary Satoshi foresees this energy crisis and invented bitcoin to save energy companies from bankruptcy and accelerate the progress we become type 1 civilization.

Thinking bitcoin just as a digital currency? Think it again!
Kinda. At least with the RPi it is successful enough that their SOC supplier has been making custom chips for them to maintain various compatibilities while boosting performance.

Large-scale refactorings are actually pleasant.

My team owns a framework and set of libraries that are widely used within the Google monorepo. We confidently forward-update user code and prune deprecated APIs with relative ease — with benefits of doing it staged or all-at-once atomically.

It's imperfect, but maintenance in distributed repositories is infinitely worse. Still, I remember the earlier days of the monorepo and keeping Perforce client file maps; that was a pain! https://www.perforce.com/perforce/r15.1/manuals/dvcs/_specif...
Can you explain how that matters? I mean, isn't every service you use on HTTPS these days?
So, you pretty much admitted that Bitcoin is unfit and outside of the fact that many people are vested in it, a new project would be a better idea unless we're emotionally and financially tied to the prehistoric thing.

Yeah. But UC Davis had a bridge outside of town, kind of hidden by vegetation. While there was very little graffiti in the city, that bridge was an open space for graffiti and spray-paint art. I like having public places like that where vandalism is implicitly allowed, so that the rest of us can have nice property.

Banksy can paint on my property because he has something to say. Someone just writing their name needs somewhere else to work on their artistic voice.
Ooomph, I would absolutely hate sneek. It really feels like you're in an office.

A few key benefits of being remote for me are that:

- I don't want to sit at my desk all the time, because I like to walk to think. If you do this in an office, people tend to think I'm not working. As a remote engineer, not showing up on that screen capture tool would make it even worse.

- I don't want to have to think about how I dress or where I sit or if I lie down.

- I don't want to have the distraction of checking who's there or not.

I get the idea behind it - that you need more human contact and everything, but this looks terrible to me.
No, you didn't understand me, sorry. I understood it just fine, but didn't explain myself well enough.

The relative contrast at the point of curvature causes an aliasing effect in the brain where the line colors are (depending on the color) added to or subtracted from the gray value. In effect this causes an apparent sharpening of the curve. However, on those lines where the transition takes place on the straight portion of the wave, no such aliasing takes place because there is no curvature.

It's like anti-aliasing in reverse.
Right. As usual the software is never the fucking hard part, its the ancillary shit like law/tax etc.

Open source code + paid services/support seems like it'd be the easiest way around this for small organisations, no?
Women, especially single moms, make less and often need to spend more to survive.

Plus, while Pedro and Ian have women on the pictures, it sounds like those were sent after receiving the gifts, so that couldn't have been part of the selection process.

Plus the trans individuals, whose identity or desired direction of transition I won't guess.

At the end of the day, who even gives a shit who they're helping? It's a private, for profit company sacrificing profits and trying to do "good", as seen through their own lens. Power to them.
How to Load Funds to Khalti Wallet Using Kiosk Machines
If the battery life becomes "horrible" within two years, I'd question if it was sufficient in the first place. I've had non-Apple phones in use for significantly longer than that without meaningful battery loss (i.e. I don't have to charge more frequently).

It also seems that you could throttle the CPU, but provide the user a way to override it. That'd be far more reasonable IMO.
yes it would be great to do this in a group - I would love to join as well!
Yeah, the mono repo / distributed division is almost a red herring.. A key component to the division though is fault and responsibility in making something as relatively unimportant as the source control and build systems work well.

Google has put a lot of money and effort to make their system nice. Working in a mono repo without that much effort is very frustrating, doubly so because there's nothing individual teams can do about it. It's especially worse if you can't even make team specific branches on the mono repo to try and isolate yourself from the steady stream of breaking changes elsewhere.

However if you're a team lucky enough to get out and do most things on your own git repo, then you're now the only ones responsible for making that better or worse. Fortunately there's a ton of open source to learn from and use, so taking control of your own team's destiny to get to a point better than before doesn't have to mean much work.

CAH suggests they're making the case that the government should fund welfare. But it appears to me that they are unintentionally making the case that the private sector can fund welfare.
Here's some info from a jailbroken ipad (redacted some unique identifiers):

| | "BatteryData" = {"CycleCount"=232,"MaxCapacity"=10639,"FullAvailableCapacity"=11085,"StateOfCharge"=98,
"MfgData"=<redacted cuz it looks like a unique id>,
"DesignCapacity"=11560,"QmaxCell0"=11678,"Flags"=1,"ManufactureDate"="6205","ChemID"=4384,"BatterySerialNumber"="redacted","Voltage"=4155}

I hypothesize that the MaxCapacity will drift lower over time. They have all the info they need in their registry.

I was first taken aback as well. However the Cajun Navy was hundreds of miles from their home, and apparently were using violence to enforce their moral beliefs on people who wouldn't comply with them (e.g. the nursing home director). Maybe this is pedantic since they were actually out there rescuing people. But when guys start pulling guns out on people who are ostensibly doing nothing illegal -- well that kind of is vigilante justice, even it they're the "good guys."

This is an important discussion to have. Hopefully it doesn't wind up hampering citizen disaster response. But there needs to be better ways of coordinating these things. Especially when the politicians who are on TV claiming they have the "the greatest disaster response ever" and brushing over real problems happening on the ground.
As a remote freelance front-end web developer I use the following to help me manage the business side of being a remote developer.

1. Cushion https://cushionapp.com/ - Super helpful freelance managing software targeted towards solo freelancers. I use it to track different projects and their invoice feature with Stripe integration is amazing.

2. RemoteLeads https://remoteleads.io/ - A newsletter that sends you free remote front-end freelance leads to your email about twice a week.

Shameless Plug: I started RemoteLeads to make it easier for myself to get those leads coming in.
Yes, I also like the idea of dedicated public space. It brings out really cool graffiti. For example, I remember seeing a huge mural on the side of an apartment building in Warsaw.

It's not "because he has something to say", but rather "because it's worth a shit ton". I'm sure there are many graffiti artists who have more interesting ideas than Banksy does. Would you be alright having an insightful tag on your wall that's worth nothing more than the insight?
For the first concern you have things totally flipped. A monorepo actually seems best suited for a small company, with a small codebase and a small set of services.

If anything, the stage of company where it makes most sense to have many small repos is when you have a large company with multiple unrelated products, services, teams, etc.
