>I literally have this problem right now with an Eng. who's decent, he technically moves the schedule forward roughly on time - but he's impossible to deal with, cynical at every turn, always negative, does not offer up flexible options when he should - and I hate having to speak to him, it ruins my day.

It's not about arguing whether he does his job, it seems like you've already stated that he does.

You've got everything you need to give him the details about what's rubbing you the wrong way. Take that shit to HR, and let them know you don't want to fire him if you can avoid it.
Toilet Paper is obsolete and just plain nasty​ and Wet Wipes are causing expensive clogs in the sewers and septic systems​.

Is the difference due to promotion or randomness? Reminds me of business competition.
Note that the question was about 200 mph, not kmph.

200 mph is pretty serious speed and people are interested what it is.

WebForms is only good for the simplest of LOB apps. Yes it is still supported, but many organizations are discouraging its use in new applications due to difficulties in scaling and long-term maintenance. In my company, all new projects are required to use MVC.

WebForms' selling point is that it is easy to bootstrap, but its limitations quickly become a liability in an enterprise setting, where small apps rarely stay small. Once you decide you need to extend your app and/or integrate with newer non-MS web technologies, you are backed into a corner.

WebForms is something that really ought to have been deprecated, but people are still clinging onto it because it's so easy to use and there are too many legacy apps that still depend on it.

I suspect it's the kind of Stockholm Syndrome that have kept Mongo users faithful over the years. At the back of your head you know you're going to have to pay down the technical debt later, but you can't resist because it's so easy to get started and to see results.

(though to be fair, Mongo 3.4 onwards has overcome some of the serious flaws of earlier versions)

If you have 17 years of work history, consider applying to a place and only telling them about the last 5 years... see where that gets you.
You can only really do customer support if it makes financial sense, which it won't unless you make a significant amount of money on your average customer. Tech companies that don't have sales, but instead take their revenue through ads or through selling data are making cents per customer. With average profit that low, even 1/1000 customers making use of your support for 5 minutes would destroy any chance of profit.
It would be interesting to see whether the Servo browser engine improves on the latency of browser applications, as it's the only one that pushes web page rendering to the GPU
Throwaway for obvious reasons. I'm not in the US but I can relate. I am 27 and was recently diagnosed with spondyloarthritis, an autoimmune disease which attacks your articulations. It has changed my pain scale tenfold or worse. I have a variat where I suffer everyday and in most articulations, some days are worse.

It feels unfair because everything was fine for me before and I'm young. I hide it : I'm a founder of a (somewhat) rising startup and have to just deal with it. Of course some days you can't hide it.

My empathy has decreased towards people suffering. Sometimes I feel like I suffer more than most sufferers. I know it's not true and pain is very personal and comes in many ways. I just feel this and I try to fight those feelings.

But when I here "pain normies" complain all the time about little back pains and tiny health issues I need to take a break ;)

I might write a piece about this soon. I need it. The only upside is that I'm laser focused on my work & mission now, and I work very hard but it's very hard to suffer all the time.

So my point is... don't be too quick to dismiss people's pain. But don't be too quick to acknowledge it either. Some people hide pain very well. You can't see 90% of disabilities.

This article rules. And it led me to the website of the Recurse Center, which I'm going to apply to.

Where can I find more articles, such as this, with objective and practical perspectives on computing fundamentals?
And for every article like this, there's another article explaining how Apple got big because they insisted on perfection.
Thanks for the feedback. Definitely see how that would be a bad first impression. I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue yet. Can you elaborate on what happened when you attempted to press the back button? Thanks!
That's alright. I love and appreciate React too, I just prefer Vue now.

Historically, timing the dips does not work out, but maybe if everyone is thinking that way the strategy could work.
While the high speed camera rig sounds fantastic, we actually got great results using the Mark 1 eyeball and good electronic stopwatches.

I was highly skeptical at first, to put it mildly, but won over by the accuracy and consistency of the results. Caveats: it’s manual effort and you probably should have the same person measuring specific areas for repeatability.

The reason I thought it couldn’t work was that I knew about human reaction times, or at least thought I knew. The thing is: most of those reported times are for unanticipated events. If you are prepared, you can get much more precision than you’d think at high levels of accuracy.

Another trick: side by side comparisons (though that requires two identical machines, so not always feasible).
Some good discussion of Thomas' paper on the ReverseEngineering subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ReverseEngineering/comments/7lc8p2/...
Scientists have always made a principle of not believing each other. The motto of the Royal Society is usually translated as "Take no one's word for it."
I'm really surprised by this assessment. I've been working with ClojureScript for the past three years, and I find the ecosystem is very vibrant. ClojureScript itself has been evolving rapidly. Lately there's been a lot of focus on Js ecosystem integration allowing you to do things such as consuming NPM modules directly. The compiler itself is very efficient doing things like dead code elimination and minification out of the box.

In terms of libraries, I haven't found anything that comes close to reagent/re-frame for building complex UIs.

Meanwhile, hot code reloading with Figwheel works beautifully, and you have a REPL for running code in the browser straight from the editor.

My team is very happy with the results of building ClojureScript based applications. I'd be curious to hear why you feel that there's nothing that's worth putting in a project.

I appreciate this. That's a lot of what we focus on now. We make sure that there's redundancy in communications.

We also make sure folks understand that mistakes are allowed, not communicating is not. It helps we hired a ton of folks from our open source community. It takes a certain kind of hire for this to work well.
What do you find missing in Reagent currently that works better in React?
It works quite well (at least on me). Responses usually go from "well, I was already feeling like one of those so might as well get some points" to "why would I want a Frappachino when it's so cold out"? I assume their algorithms are under heavy development and are basically random A/B tests at this point, perhaps primed with some basic data and stars added as an enticement.

In the future, I could see it evolving into something where it sees what the weather is, looks at what websites I'm visiting (via data brokers), analyzes historical trends, extrapolates my likely mood and finally uses all of this to figure out what sugary comfort drink I'm mostly likely to bite at. Perhaps I should take comfort in how utterly predictable I am and how easily open to suggestion...

Likely the descriptiveness of the title. This one has three “things” in the title - Lisa, open source, computer history museum. The other has just one - the Lisa. Nothing about the license, nothing about the museum.
These are low severity reports. The first two require difficult prerequisites for an attacker to exploit, and the last one was not proven to be a security flaw.

#293358: it's not ideal that the certificate isn't pinned, but to exploit this an attacker needs to either install their own root certificate on the victim's device, somehow obtain a private key for a certificate already installed, or have a certificate authority misissue a certificate to them for an Uber domain used by the app.

#293363: an attacker still needs to acquire the victim's X-Uber-Token somehow for this to be useful. It's also somewhat mitigated by the token being invalidated when the victim changes their password.

#293359: as pointed out by Uber, no weaknesses in the token generation algorithm were actually demonstrated, and brute forcing the 2^128 keyspace is infeasible.

Also, the rudeness he displayed was petty and unhelpful:

> given the fact that at least one of your system architects were apparently high when they designed and implemented your bearer token assignment process

> Not completely unexpected though, given the caliber of talent utilized by Uber such as the “security” group that you hail from. You would do well in government security consulting, for sure.

> Oh my God. Are you seriously the Program Manager for Uber's Security Division, with a 2013 psych degree and zero relevant industry experience other than technical recruiting? LULZ

All in all, rather a poor result for this vulnerability researcher.
Hmm, interesting idea. The only thing I'd be worried about is moderating those messages to be "appropriate". I'll think about this more. Thanks for the idea.

Have you seen the TV series "The Americans", which is set in the early 80's, and has spot-on era props and scenery? They have a Commodore Pet (with the adult-sized non-chicklet keyboard ;) in their real estate office! It makes sense that deep cover KGB spies like Phillip and Elisabeth would have the computer for the masses not the classes, comrade!

The kids Paige and Henry even have the exact same Star Wars blanket I had (which their parents tuck them into at bed time, then sneak out and skulk around stealing Star Wars secrets from the US Government).
I've seen a lot of cool stuff come out of people from the Recurse Center. If you go you should write about what it's like and what you do. It sounds like something I'd (and many others) would really enjoy but it sounds really difficult to take a "semester" or whatever off from everything, run out to some code camp, and do that until you're done.

Anonymity also permitted the American Revolution, among other things.

Meanwhile the most prominent example that comes to mind for attempts to end even the pretense of anonymity online is authoritarian China.

And fwiw, most of the other boards on 4chan at least tend to push the more obnoxious sorts of commentary back to /pol/, its 'containment board'.

Twitter likewise tends to isolate communities of extremists, on both sides, simply by virtue of explicit blocking or mere lack of sufficient interest to follow on the part of more balanced participants.

I wonder if any efforts have been made to conduct a deep review of clinical trials to see if there are patterns of protocol design that are likely to lead to underreporting of adverse effects.

As (unfortunately) a user of a number of prescription medications, I have encountered adverse effects that were considered uncommon, yet heard about similar issues from fellow users. Of course, this is anecdata, so one can draw no conclusions, but I have a nagging suspicion that enough digging by people who truly understand statistics will find flaws, perhaps major ones.

Not likely to happen, though.
Maybe, although generally when you fill a room with sick people, they don’t make each other well. Group therapy can work, but it takes the guidance of people not currently looking up from a hole.
I read that pdf and it is not exactly rigorous. Eg page 4:

"Should depend only on the outcome observed and not on any other outcome we might have observed and
thus sharply contrasts with the method of likelihood inference from the Neyman-Pearson, or more generally
from a frequentist, approach. In particular, questions of unbiasedness, minimum variance and risk, consistency,
the whole apparatus of confidence intervals, significance levels, and power of tests, etc., violate the
conditionality principle."

and

"Here is yet another scenario that will not impress a conditionalist:"

They are related phenomena. Basically, sand and mud have pore space in between the grains that is filled with fluids (water, oil or gas). When those fluids are extracted, the rock contracts because the pore pressure decreases, causing an increase in density (compaction) and a decrease in volume, which leads to subsidence. Some of this is recoverable, and some of it isn't, because the grains will find a more efficient packing arrangement.

You are completely correct in that there are many different factors involved that are all causing problems; unfortunately they are all interrelated.
Geh, in reality the Mac didn't get an operating system in the true sense of the word (proper process separation, memory protection etc.) until like... System 7.6 or maybe even later in OS X. Classic Mac OS was more like an overgrown API than a proper OS environment. A real step backwards from the Lisa...

It's baffling to me that instead of cost reducing the Lisa, Apple ran two parallel product lines (Mac and Lisa), similar to each other and competing with each other.. and from reading histories it sounds like it came down to territorial turf wars and Job's ego that made this the case. Lisa wasn't Jobs baby... so it was killed.
On conflict of interest during Gardasil's testing in India: http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=14401
"JayaJan Pharmaceutical Research in India was one of the companies with which Merck had a contract to test Gardasil. Like most of the industry, Merck increasingly outsources its clinical trials to Contract Research Organizations (CROs) in areas of the world where trial subjects are plentiful, operating costs are low, and regulations lax. .. Critics point out that CROs can come with built-in problems. Conflicts of interest can arise when CROs are paid royalties only after a drug is approved rather than being paid a set fee that is independent of how safe or effective the drug turns out to be. Problems can also arise because CROs know that favorable findings mean that research into a test drug will continue, and they may also believe that results that please the hiring corporation can lead to future contracts. "[C]ompanies know that the farther the compound moves through the research cycle, the more money they can raise," Nature reported."

"The problems I've discussed are not limited to psychiatry, although they reach their most florid form there. Similar conflicts of interest and biases exist in virtually every field of medicine, particularly those that rely heavily on drugs or devices. It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine."

At some point, in the context of developing on commodity hardware using mainstream operating systems, you need to trust something and use unsafe. There's no way around it.

People have varying tolerances on the use of unsafe code. I'm not aware of any coherent sub-community with a fundamentalist take on it though.

My own personal tolerance is "when using it, carefully justify it." Generally, this takes the form of making the code run faster. Otherwise, I'll sacrifice almost everything else to avoid unsafe. Thankfully, said sacrifices are neither common nor arduous (in my experience).
Well, it's a relatively small sum. And if it grows into a large and valuable asset relative to the government's budget, that's a bad sign: it means the government-backed dollar is losing steam relative to crypto.

It's in the government's interest to lop off the head of its biggest existential threat.
