I'll happily take payment in cash if you don't think that I'm worth paying in actual stock with actual value.

If you're paying in stock with the argument that I'm buying into the company, then I should be able to realize that income.

If you're paying in stock without actually saying I can cash out that stock why would I accept being underpaid.

If you are an engineer that takes a salary+stock comp where the company gets to choose the value of "stock" -- is it salable, is it zero-value until we've repaid our creditors is being foolish.

If a company is not willing to guarantee your ability to cash out they are /explicitly/ stating that the stock part of your salary is worth zero.

If that's their claim I would expect a salary >200k to compensate.

You mistake what I'm saying -- I'm not saying "my lawyer writes the contract"

I'm saying that for a non-public startup I would want to have a lawyer ensure that my contract allowed me to exercise the stock grants the company claims to be offering.

I am following that with the simple "if they aren't willing to sign such a contract, neither am I". I have no expectation of forcing a company into a contract they disagree with, I'm saying that if I sign a contract with such a startup it's going to give me a reasonably predictable income. That means either a real and competitive salary, or an ability to exercise the "stock compensation". I'm not going to subsidize someone else.

> no more than one collision in multiple years of driving

That's really high, that's worse than what people do (on average a person will probably have an accident every 18 years, none fatal).

And that's with a person watching? That's really bad.

> once every few months is perfectly acceptable

Not really. The people inside it will have no practice (or even ability) at driving. Such a car is not really useful, you'll just make things more dangerous, not less.

The bar for self driving cars is so incredibly high, I doubt you'll see them on regular (non-instrumented, restricted) city streets until we have true AI.

Most likely there will be train-like intercity roads, dedicated (and instrumented) for self driving cars and trucks.

But unrestricted city driving? Very unlikely to ever happen.

Despite how high the accident rate is, people are actually really really good at driving. And computers are really really bad at being reliable.

When you can have a complex computer program that simply manages to have 99.9999% uptime, then we can start to talk about self driving cars. We don't even have that, self driving cars are an impossible dream.

And that 99.9999% number is not just random, it's how good you have to be to beat a human at driving.

You don’t really understand something if you can’t explain it...
"Rules don't apply to rock stars" This is utter and complete nonsense. You are a manager. Socializing is both an integral part of your job and most importantly how you get noticed by people above you and move up. Being extremely social is connected in your mind with individuals who are likely to be upwardly mobile and therefore valuable to socialize with. You fail to realize that that doesn't correlate in any way with the productivity of people who do actual work.

This isn't to say that being good at communication isn't a valuable thing in any profession. Life is a team sport. But by and large this means communicating in the context of your job regarding things that pertain to their work.

Plenty of people can do an effective job at that while spending 95% of their time actually you know doing useful work.

Your instincts are hyper specialized to your type of individual and I predict you will continue to move up well but I cannot imagine how difficult it must be for you to manage people you don't even slightly understand.

I can't imagine building linux 32bit at this point -- seriously, why would you throw away that perf?
One group darts rhinos and injects the horn with a dye, rendering the horn worthless for poaching.

The U.S. TV series "Gorongosa Park: a Rebirth"[0] shows park stewards trying to rebuild tourism, with one goal being better employment options (as guides, rangers, etc.) than poaching.

Some of their elephants don't develop tusks at all, an apparent mutation that increases survival odds.

According to GDPR you do not need consent to gather personal data which is reasonable with regards to the service your are providing.

Why you do need consent for is to gather unneeded personal data or to send personl data to 3rd party providers for processing that is not essential to your service.

You are not allowed to deny people access to your site based on lack of this kind of consent.
Buzzwords... like empowering? One example is that now my websites need to have full screen agreement popup for each 3rd party cookie which will not help anyone do anything. You can already set 3rd party cookie preferences in browser.

Do you think think this will stop data collection and mining in anyway?

I'd be surprised if python is winning folks over because of the significant whitespace. More that it just is not a deciding factor. (Note, I'm specifically not saying it is popular despite the whitespace.)

That is to say, yes, I recognize my opinion as just an opinion. Most of it is colored by bad experiences with large YAML files, I confess.

My problem with the code is precisely that it tears down my notion of the code being nothing more than a list of data. As an example, in:

(define (factorial n)
(if (<= n 1)
1
(* n (factorial (- n 1)))))

Everything that goes together is in the same list. Some things branch off of because they are part of another list. But all subexpressions are easily visible as just lists. I can take one out and try it somewhere else. How do I know they are lists? Because they look like every other list in the program. Begin and end with a paren.

The "improved one":

define factorial(n)
if {n <= 1}
1
{n * factorial{n - 1}}

How do I know it is over? How do I trace back to what part of the code is finished when I evaluated {n * factorial{n - 1}}? Hopefully, the code is short enough that these are obviously answered. However, I am well aware that sometimes this doesn't work. And, quite frankly, the brain power to find the matched paren is much less than the brain power to determine what lexical unit the compiler would have been in, and to scan up for the matching lexical unit.

Then there is the contrarian in me that is probably just getting annoyed that they labeled the proposal as the "improved" piece of code. :D
But it hardly means "a decline in the stock market indexes is good news for almost everyone". It could be true in some kind of isolated system where a global decline in share prices doesn't negatively affect many other areas of our lives.
If you run a website cloudflare is pretty nice. DDOS can affect anyone and cloudflare is the only provider where you know they won't kick you off their service because of an attack. You also hide your server ips which can make it harder for attackers and get a CDN on top of that.

I really hope we see a competitor for cloudflare and I'd immediately switch. But as far as I know, all others bill you for traffic and are focused on CDN more than protection.

Look at the Cache-Control header and see if the site is telling the browser not to cache the JS.

Also, look at the time-to-first-byte . . . if that is high, maybe further tweaks to the cache plugin settings may help you. If you are not using at least PHP version 7.0 you will get a noticable improvement by getting to that as well.
Minor comment:

>It is easy to despair as Wittgenstein did, that science and all philosophies are ultimately closed systems of circular truths.

That doesn't seem at all right to me. Apart from the question of which Wittgenstein you're talking about (early, later, possibly mid), I don't think he despaired about either of these things. He seems to have felt that philosophy consists of nothing but various confusions—hardly what our sentence claims—of which it was his and philosophy's job to clear up once and for all and leave behind. But he spent his life vigorously working away at many of them. Often happily and very productively. What despair he felt I think had other sources; he had a very strong ethical/mystical (for want of a better word) sense; also frustration at his own and others' lack of ability to think better.

Involving science in that sentence makes no sense at all to me. He was involved with the Vienna Circle logical positivists, hardly despairers about science. Later he often advised his philosophy students to give up philosophy and do something useful to society, like medicine or labouring work, anything. I don't remember any negativity towards science from him, except reminders that some questions aren't scientific questions.
Aren't there a bunch of WYSIWYG tools for creating appearance and HTML/CSS together? Years ago when I looked, these existed (but designers prefered photoshop just because).

I mean, I'd assume also there's normally a give-and-take between designer, CSS-artist and client. The question is whether the neural network can also learn to take calls at 3am from a client wanting a different shade of aqua.
> Is there some parallel universe in Silicon Valley I’m not aware of?

Of course there is, you'll find the same in just about every city on earth. It didn't sound like it was connected to any company sanctioned events though, they came off as prudish people offended that such things exist, for example:

> As I recount in the book, I went to the famous San Francisco strip club Gold Club and it was packed with tech workers eating lunch.

If people want to go to a strip club for lunch what business is it of hers? Then she follows up with:

> What we’re talking about is bad behavior that’s not just tolerated but that’s been normalized.

This just shows how out of touch she is. It wasn't "normalized" in silicon valley, it was normalized everywhere a long time ago and she hasn't worked in environments where it's normal. I'd be shocked to find out that this is more normal in SV than it is in any blue collar areas.
I happily use both. REPLs are for exploratory development. Unit tests are for ensuring code works (and continues to work in the future).
They can do things like spoof DNS requests from the victim which are known to have large responses. The attacker causes ~4000 bytes of traffic to be sent to the victim from the DNS server by sending a ~40 byte DNS request.

That amplifies the attacker's bandwidth but is a lot easier to distinguish from normal traffic, and would be prevented if everyone did egress filtering because then the attacker couldn't spoof the requests.

But that only prevents the amplification, not the general problem. A botnet with millions of computers in it has enough bandwidth even without amplification to cause plenty of trouble.

I prefer Glicko and Glicko-2 over Elo. It's been 10 years since I implemented it and played with the math, but if I remember right it is far more accurate in games that have significant amounts of RNG that leads to lucky wins/loss events. But if a player proves they weren't lucky by being consistent it still is just as malleable as Elo. So perfect for a game like Hearthstone.
In Smalltalk, the class browser (editor) has always been the REPL. You can highlight any snippet of code you browse, including code you're currently editing, and evaluate it in the context of whatever class you're browsing.

For example, if you're editing a method called "fooBar", you can just type (in the same input field) "self new fooBar" ("self" is bound to the class being browsed) or, if it's a class method, "self fooBar", highlight it, and then type the appropriate shortcut (like Cmd+d in Pharo) to evaluate it.

This is useful for documentation. You can have a method begin with a comment that shows examples, which a person browsing can highlight and evaluate, and also experiment with.

Making it a requirement would be a double-edged sword -- on the one hand, companies would share safety features, but on the other hand, they'd have much less incentive to develop new safety features if they had to give them to competitors at no cost.

>Despite how high the accident rate is, people are actually really really good at driving. And computers are really really bad at being reliable.

Human swarm behavior is terrible (that's your rush hour traffic for you). And computers are very very reliable. The only question is whether they can be programmed in a way to handle enough edge cases to be feasible.

I'm with you in thinking that for the next 20 years we'll see a lot of automation on high ways but not in cities. On the highways there's very much less variability, and less erratic human driving. For me that's already 99% of what I would buy a self driving car for. I'm happy driving short trips through the city. I hate driving home for 2-3h and not being able to do anything else.
WP auto update is sort of nice in that you stay updated (but who the heck knows what will happen if you have one MySQL server and multiple www servers), except it means that your webroot is writable by PHP, which is not a great thing, because someone who finds an arbitrary file write issue before it's patched (or before auto update triggers) will be able to add their own files to your webroot -- weather that's defacement, malware installers, warez drops, bitcoin mining, shells for later; it's all pretty nasty.

>The only way we'll get the "right" way of autonomous software development is if there is extensive and careful regulation with very rigorous auditing and process requirements.

From what I've seen that doesn't really make a difference either. Companies will follow the regulation on paper, but not in spirit. That's already happening in other heavily regulated areas of software development. My experience has actually been that heavy regulation makes for worse software, because the company starts spending more time on lawyers and "quality engineers" driving up meaningless metrics than maintainable clean code.
