Personally work/life balance is very important to me, so I tend to ask about that. This is trickier for people at the beginning of their career though, but can be done.

From a broader perspective it's not just about the interview process. You need to do research up-front about the company (which also useful to help sell yourself).

1. Read all their job postings, and their website. Company values are useful.

2. Read Glassdoor reviews, if there are any.

3. Talk to anyone you know there.

4. During interviews, ask the right questions. https://www.keyvalues.com/culture-queries has good suggestions.

More here in this blog post - https://codewithoutrules.com/2016/10/14/job-you-dont-hate/ - as well as in my book (again, focused on work/life balance) The Programmer's Guide to a Sane Workweek (https://codewithoutrules.com/saneworkweek/).
I lived in Macau for over 7 years, and it is a small country you can walk North to South in a casual morning or afternoon. Other ex-pats would say how bored they were and go to the ex-pat pubs. I would walk the city, and read of the history of the place. There are so many nooks and crannies to see a statue above a portal, some old Portuguese tilework at your feet, small temples sandwiched between other buildings and on and on. The casinos and other housing development have pushed out some of the old for the new, and the influx of mainland Chinese to gamble for a day or two has made the city grow for better or worse, but certainly worse for culture. The fake Eiffel Tower, and the Venetian are a sign of things to come. When it is fully absorbed by China in 2049, it will be interesting to see if the Chinese government maintains the 'one country, two systems' manner of government it seems to have now. They did build a big military base, or expand the one that was already there, so the plans are in motion. I have a fond memory of my years in Macau, and the friends I have made there. I hope the best for this little peninsular and its islands.
Interesting thought. Yes, to some degree if you play a 150 different games for 10 hours each it actually produces the same amount of community value (zero) and may relax you just as much.
I suppose they 'work', however, the HFA inhalers are simply not as good as the ones they replaced (around 2008 or so, if memory serves).

They clog easily (Nothing like needing a puff and getting nothing), almost seem to have a mild constricting effect before the albuterol kicks in (and it's not as quick as it should be), and some people react badly to the sulfates (not me, thankfully).

I'm fortunate in that I don't need my inhaler much since I moved to the Florida coast (I think the moist, salty, clean air blowing in from the Atlantic helps). Whenever I have to go to a major city I'll have trouble, though.

You have a choice - either break the laws or your country, or... just don't do business in the EU.

Ah, that's unexpected. Apple decided to do a good thing for a change? Better late than never.

May be it's an indicator of general attitude change towards free codecs, and they'll now support Opus in the browser too (in OGG container). That would remove the last barrier for avoiding pointless audio storage duplication (same for video obviously).
I found this article very well written and the story fascinating!
Interesting post. It feels quite closely analogous to the virtual-DOM diffing approaches that have dominated client-side JS frameworks lately.

Is there any history of this technique being used in game engine design? Or is that more concerned about optimizing for the worst case (thou shalt not drop frames) than for the average case?

> Good news - unlike the cookie thing, GDPR mandates that you be able to say no.

The ePrivacy Directive (aka the cookie directive) also required you to be able to opt out. It was pretty explicit, too:

"Member States shall ensure that the use of electronic communications networks to store information or to gain access to information stored in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user is only allowed on condition that the subscriber or user concerned is provided with clear and comprehensive information in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC, inter alia about the purposes of the processing, and is offered the right to refuse such processing by the data controller."

The problem was that some member states cooked up an "implied consent" interpretation, according to which visitors can be assumed to have consented.

The difference between the GDPR (and the new ePrivacy Regulation, which most likely is going to address the issue directly) is that they're regulations; they're directly applicable EU law, not law that has to be transposed into local law by the member states. The EU Commission is also given enforcement powers; and, if I read the upcoming ePrivacy Regulation correctly, can also go after the adtech companies directly rather than the site owners (because ignoring lack of consent is done at the adtech level rather than by site owners, as opposed to a failure of providing a consent mechanism).

I also wouldn't put too much emphasis on the GDPR; while it's likely to cause compliance trouble for adtech companies, the ePrivacy Regulation is more directly applicable.

In Brazil you can buy almost any medical drug in a drugstore without a prescription. For some drugs you need different kind of prescriptions: antibiotics just need a regular prescription, some others will need special prescriptions that are only available for doctors who have applied, and so on.

So, yes, things were hardned few years ago.
China has conscription but doesn't use it. It’s force is completely volunteer ATM (you do have mandatory military training for college students, but it isn’t militarily useable). The PLA has to recruit also, many Chinese movies and TV shows are produced to that goal.

> You misread my comment. The functionality offered by pragmas must be mandatory and in the core language, whether you call them pragmas or not. Everything else leads to problems.

Your previous comment literally states that pragmas are always bad, then goes on to state that they should be included in the core language. This one does not retract the original statement that pragmas are "always a bad idea" but further asserts pragmas "must be mandatory and in the core language".

I don't think I misread your comment, no. You may have miswritten your comment when you meant that, say pragmas should not be optional and/or implementation dependent[0], but that's on you.

[0] I've no idea whether that's you mean given again you state that pragmas should both not exist and be part of the core language.
A lot of IP advantage will be wiped off. It will benefit some people, but not the actors behind the errors themselves.
This sounds expensive and unreliable and will just result in very expensive headlight assemblies that have to be replaced entirely. Also inability to get the parts to fix them a decade down the line.

This is already a problem with some vehicles with relatively simple lamp assemblies.
As a reply to other threads that ask if this means Apple will switch to AV1: encoding speed is the number one reason presented as a benefit of HEVC in one of the WWDC talks on HTTP streaming. So... I'd guess they'll still record things in HEVC, but maybe add support for decoding AV1.
But you modulate speed and rotate the car while navigating the roundabout, which solves the constant speed/constant bearing problem. At a roundabout, blind spots are all over the place and will never perfectly track another traffic participant.
I completely agree. There are similar rules over here about leaving a gap to the kerb, and that there should also be a gap left by overtaking vehicles. Both are often not observed.

Here's the (brief) rules for roundabouts:
http://www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/rules-for-cyclists-roundabout...

Most cycling proficiency courses here in the UK will tell cyclists to ride more centrally when in a narrow lane, which is good advice. A cyclist is also legally allowed to do that.

It gets a bit fuzzy though when there's a cycle lane provided.
but they still have to design newer hardware without the bugs?
It's amazing how the little things can make such a big impact: moving a call to action to the top of the screen, a report with more readable charts, a support email address that's easier to remember. Really it's Xs and Os.
It clearly does provide some advertisement for you, even if you do not want or require it. The general public are being informed about an item on your CV.

I am sure that there is a lot more to this story than I know. I only just encountered it and newspapers are notoriously bad at accurately portraying anything remotely technical.

I refuse to talk about only things I know. Nobody else does, and it would make finding out about new things difficult.

I am sorry to hear that you had a bad experience here, I have had numerous shitty clients over the years, however if your client does have a case to answer, the wise thing to do is go down the legal route and do not air any dirty laundry until after the dust settles.

You are not going to like this, but if you get enraged by someone throwing around the word unprofessional, then you are unprofessional. You might be the best coder on earth, but the professional response to being called unprofessional is to ask for written examples and a followup meeting, not rage.

As far as the plan to save up in order to go off and sue people whose fathers are famous and well connected lawyers, I do not know the details, however on the surface it doesn't sound all that good a route to happiness, but at least you will find it easier to accomplish now that you have had your work promoted in the national press.

I can see their point (and that of any other content provider) in that context, but I'm sure they do care. It would be fine even if it required a dedicated hardware encoding bloc, but lack of reasonable RT encoding (including low wattage) would create a significant technical impediment to full general adoption, so I can't believe that optimization hasn't been at least somewhat considered. There is of course still plenty of real time streaming that's important, though in those cases reduction in quality would often be an acceptable tradeoff. However, Apple and Google both have a quite reasonable and absolute need for real time (or a close enough cheat), high quality offline encoding on mobile systems within the physical constraints of a handheld form factor. End users will also want to (again, quite reasonably) be able to immediately share what they make without the need for a lengthy reencoding stage or trip through a middleman.

So if there wasn't at least a timeline for 4k+ RT on iPhone or Android devices I can't see how HEVC wouldn't stick around for a very long time. That a live stream has already been demonstrated should mean that this has been considered and they do care though, and thus won't be a problem. Ideally of course at least the high end of current generation devices would be capable of AV1 recording through software updates, which would enable moving on much more rapidly from HEVC. For that at least though I think it'd be an acceptable tradeoff to have those become legacy if that's what it takes to get us into a patent-unencumbered future afterwards. A pity software patents couldn't have just been eliminated entirely but I guess that remains politically infeasible for now.

>Statistics show that in the large majority of cases of accidents between cycles and motor vehicles, the driver of the motor vehicle is at fault. Requiring a license for cycles will do just about nothing to fix this.

As a regular cyclist, I would say that requiring a license from cyclists would certainly do something to fix this: make cyclists more aware of it.

Over here, about 2/3 of collisions between motor vehicle and bicycle are fault of the motor vehicle driver. But that leaves 1/3 where cyclist errors or breaches of traffic code are reason, which is also significant.

And then there are actually quite many cyclist accidents that do not involve a motor vehicle.
For the ideas like those, there was a post on pagefair

And dont forget that the next regulation is ePrivacy regulative which might fix workarounds like you are proposing.

The idea of GDPR is about human rights and if you are having a problem with protecting them, than I think GDPR is not a problem, you are.
You can't practically make a case for cannibalism. It isn't even about morals.
The subject of the article was the "fight for patent-unencumbered media codecs is almost won". To "win" that fight means that content providers can abandon patent protected formats. Netflix is still having to deal with patents and now they had to dedicate more resources to support an additional format.

Large content providers like YouTube or Netflix really don't care about the patent and have the resources for storage and encoding multiple formats. Where patents hurt are smaller entrants that would benefit from patent free formats.

They still have to support patented formats and now they have to spend money on encoding and storage on yet another codec if the want to use VP9. What's the benefit of supporting two formats? One that is supported everywhere and one that isn't it?
>> No one is going to support a video format that's not compatible with iOS.

You might try reading the article next time. Apple recently joined the Alliance for Open Media. That indicates to me that they are likely to support AV1. Apple was really the last holdout and it would be poor business for them not to play.
NoScript is really easy to install and use.
VP9 is getting a lot better. Since the advent of the -frame-parallel and -tile-columns options, encoding scales well with CPU cores. The only frustrating thing for me is these aren't used by default. The VP9 encoding guide has info on their use: http://wiki.webmproject.org/ffmpeg/vp9-encoding-guide

> It's almost like planned obsolescence. Msybe it was orchestrated.

Since 1995? 23 years seems a long time to wait
Listen. You cannot definitively prove that fish experience or don't experience pain anymore than you can definitively prove that OJ Simpson murdered his ex-wife. However, you can build a body of evidence to support a conclusion. You can build up so much evidence that it seems impossible to refute, but even then, there will still be a tiny probability that the conclusion is false.

That's what science experiments are all about. It's about probability; evidence pointing to a probable truth. How one interprets the evidence is certainly up for debate.

Humans are walking experimenters. As we go about our lives, we collect evidence that we use to draw the most probable conclusions about the world we live in. For example, I've concluded that the my coffee mug will not spontaneously begin to levitate on my desk because all of the evidence I've collected in my life (years spent watching the mug and other similar objects that never started to levitate on their own, learning about gravity in school) tells me that it's extremely improbable my cup will not remain planted on my desk unless someone/something touches it. However, it's a truism that there is an unfathomably extreme small probability my cup will begin to levitate.

We build scientific experiments to collect evidence about things we don't commonly, or wouldn't naturally, experience. For example, in the 1960's, this existence of the Higgs boson was conjectured. The probability of its existence was good, because the math pointed to it, but it was not extremely high probability. We can't 'see' such a particle directly, so humanity built meticulously controlled experimental set-ups to extend our senses and weed out noise that could otherwise obscure the evidence pointing to the 'truth'. Today, we are 99.999999999% sure the higgs boson exist [1], but that's still not 100%. It will never be 100%.

That said, if you wish to dispute the conclusions of the author's hypothesis regarding whether or not fish experience pain, then I suggest you do it in terms of the interpretation of the experimental results with citations and evidence to back up your ideas. On HN, I expect a higher caliber of critical thinking. Otherwise, I may as well be reading comments on Yahoo! clickbait.

Yep. This is exactly what will happen except the question will be are you an EU resident. Click no and you get access, click yes and you get turned away. Who is going to click on yes?
When the sight lines are blocked, the false sense of safety which is undermined by theconstant speed/constant bearing blind spot simply would not happen. If you don't think that you know that the other road is empty (because you can't see it), a yield sign is enough.
Either you have a regular stop intersection, in which case there are octagonal stop signs on the roads that do not have priority. No supplemental signs needed. A driver stopping at the stop sign knows that when the intersection is clear he can drive. If it's a 4 way and he's turning left, he may have to yield to a driver on the opposite road, depending on the local laws (In a right hand yield priority the car turning left yields to the car in the opposite road).

Or it's a multi-way-stop (which is rare) in which case all roads have the supplemental sign. None of the roads have priority and all drivers can do to resolve deadlocks is be careful. All the supplemental sign does is inform drivers that OTHER drivers will also stop. It just removes the ambiguity we talked about above - where a driver at a stop sign might otherwise think he can't drive until the intersection is completely clear.
> Over here, about 2/3 of collisions between motor vehicle and bicycle are fault of the motor vehicle driver. But that leaves 1/3 where cyclist errors or breaches of traffic code are reason, which is also significant.

You are assuming that this 1/3rd is due to lack of knowledge - I question that assertion. And still, regular retraining of motor vehicle drivers would still be a better investment. They choose to move a ton of steel around in a manner that's potentially dangerous to others and they cause twice as many accidents, despite having a license requirement.

> And then there are actually quite many cyclist accidents that do not involve a motor vehicle.

Those tend to be less severe. Last years stats for Berlin: All cyclists killed were killed in an accident with a motor vehicle. Most common causes: dooring, right turn accidents, mostly trucks, one cyclist running a red light.
