You are right, it is not Electron, I mixed it up because it is anyway the same idea.

> Written in Python using the Flask framework for the backend, and Javascript/jQuery/Backbone for the frontend, it can easily be deployed as a WSGI application for multiple users in practically any network environment. A small runtime application allows it to be run as a desktop application - this is a Qt executable that incorporates a Python interpreter and web browser along with the main application in a single package that can be installed on a developer laptop as with previous versions of pgAdmin.

Let's take it as given that HTTP is the right answer in that situation; I'm not saying it is or isn't, but let's assume it is. We're talking about HTTP(S) in web browsers and client-side applications; no one is actually talking about _banning_ HTTP, e.g. blocking port 80 or filtering via deep packet inspection. If you have a use case where after careful thought you decide that HTTP is better than HTTPS, then fine. But HTTPS should be the default.

Really like how V-trace reduces to A3C when on-policy. Quite elegant, but it’s unfortunate they don’t give results on continuous tasks.

I really, really hope not. That'd be the one sure way for me to stop using Thunderbird (like I have stopped using FF).
Hm. I have to say I think this isn't quite right. I guess it is, strictly speaking, true that these concepts are "!=". However, I think that the vast, vast majority of people err on the side of thinking that they're far more separate than they actually are. Money, coinage, banking, and debt (I'm ignoring barter here and adding debt) are so intimately related that, really, none of them exist in anything resembling their current iterations without all the others. And talking about "money" in the sense of exclusively a medium of exchange is really hard for people these days to wrap their heads around...none of us have had any experience with such a thing whatsoever.

All that said, I'd be curious to hear you expand on your original comment. How are you defining each of these things? What are you trying to say by noting that they're not equal? What are the implications?

Because at least Bitcoin has never really been a currency, it has been a (virtual) commodity with a (public) ledger attached.

Blasted thing from the outset emulated gold, thus attracting "survivalists" and other goldbugs from across the world.

And that is perhaps why Wall Street is moving in, because those companies are at their core built around siphoning the arbitrage on shuffling commodities around.

And with cryptocurrencies they have an ample supply of such commodities, until the earth boils from waste computing heat.

Perverse incentives to the Nth. The paperclip maximizers are already upon us, and they didn't come from the AI lab, they came from the trading floor.

Thunderbird uses Gecko, the same engine as Firefox, to render emails. This means it's actually generally the most-compliant HTML rendering email of any email client: you can even use MathML and <video> if you want to (assuming that the bug about <video> controls requiring JS has been fixed).

The three caveats to this statement that might apply:

1. Thunderbird loads the message in quirks mode.

2. cid: links in CSS aren't going to load properly (and other resource URLs are generally blocked by default).

3. Different HTML sections in a message can leak together, largely due to there lacking a good way to combine multiple HTML documents into a single scroll frame (if any Gecko layout folks are reading this, can you please fix https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80713 ?).
Right. Seems more practical to just use social engineering or an inside man.
Contrary to popular belief, deflation is good. Inflation benefits those with capital producing assets. For workers, inflation forces them to continuously fight for the same wage they had a year ago.
What a bunch of BS. This is pretty much lauding a return to the days of the cave man, where the only way to communicate information is to draw pictures or pass on an oral history. No, no, and hell no.
Did you see the outrage over the 40 MB patch that made the game performance worse?

Lots of technical handwavey of "I cant see how a 40 MB patch could affect the game THIS much!"

Someone could have messed up several core algorithms with memory leaks or performance hogs... which could be the order of a few KB of compiled source
>It also hurts the game's image if many servers spam players with "Donate $20/mo for the INVINCIBILITY rank!"

That's a problem with the client design. Don't allow the server to send banners or any map tiles and that problem goes away.

You would get a lump sum that's taxed at 40%. Otherwise you can try to negotiate to be on the payroll for 4months + healthcare. Also if in the US ask for medical (COBRA) to be paid for.
But why don't you hire them, make that little investment yourself, and have them fix things they're capable of fixing while they catch up?

This just seems like such a small obstacle that the technical parts would end up taking a back seat to other hiring criteria.

Now can we transcode video into ProRes 4444 (Seriously doubt that since Apple kind of makes it only encoding on MacOS or OS X)
There's a difference between a bimodal and a distribution with a long tail (like a lognormal). The new hire distribution doesn't really give a sense of this because there's an implicit cap to how much companies are willing to pay new hires.
Frankly I find a lot of publishers would rather people consume their video content as video ads pay more, rather than users preferring the video content. This occasionally leads to that most awful of abominations, news videos that are just text and a slideshow (or just text!) with no text option to view it.
Yes, but not in the way that you are talking about. Keep your eyes peeled in the next month or so. Some interesting projects in the works. Used the right way, deepfakes can protect and help people, not harass them. Fluffy stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PZ3W1W20bk is just part of a warm-up routine.
> People have other priorities than getting the best colleagues, such as living close to family and in places that feel like home.

Yes: people who don't prioritize excellence in development. And it does require compromises in your life choices. You generally need to move to where the most interesting jobs are, where the cutting edge tech is being developed. It's a virtuous cycle: SV attracts the next generation of high quality developers because it's the place that already has the highest concentration of good developers.

> I didn't know the United States had unrestricted immigration.

FWIW, even though I got my H-1B visa, I stayed in London. It would definitely have been a better career move to follow through and emigrate. I have zero doubt it has cost me in career prospects and quality of opportunities.

Living in London is already a compromise in my quality of life.
The UI for adding certificates is, as I recall, a massive clusterfuck. That's due in large part to this traditionally being the domain of the certificate manager folks from Firefox, where a) the necessary components are extremely low-usage (when was the last time you used a SSL client certificate?), and b) some of those people don't give a fuck about Thunderbird.
You just pray they don't make you bring it back for an inspection.
Both exist in all countries, of course. But it's possible to speak neither and I would hope for that here.
I propose a new law that people with my SSN don't have to pay taxes. It would help me out a lot.

Every policy helps some people at the expense of others. Concentrated benefits, diffuse costs. You need to weigh both sides, not just the benefits.

Opposite experience for me. AMZL - not same day, but normal next day or two day, will arrive between 7am and 11am. AMZL same day (some times another logistics company altogether and not AMZL) will generally come some time between 9PM and 8AM the next day, with almost all same day packages actually arriving the next day (meaning a free month of Prime for me, plus refund of the shipping charges, and occasionally a gift card to shut me up.)
A combo of 10 mins of fame and ad revenue i guess.

And i strongly agree. I hate to go searching for solutions to some computer problem only to find page after page of videos demonstrating step by step how to do something.

Reminds me of when i compared Cisco and Microsoft official training material on their products. The former was 99% text, as the interface to the routers were text based. The latter was a much larger tome, yet held mostly full page image of multiple choice dialogs and wizards with a small amount of descriptive text underneath.

Safe to say i learned more from the former than the latter...
NFL players are required to be at least three years out of high school.
Fantastic reply
Western governments have been pushing for internet connection speeds far in excess of what's needed for text for exactly this reason.

The competitive advantage from large capital resources is far greater with video than with text. As the internet turns into TV 2.0, the little people can crawl back under whatever rock they live under and the old order of media-democracy is restored.
The best ones are making all the software that western companies use. The US (coast) pays an absurdly average high salary as compared to other countries for CS roles.

Now, the quality of engineering education received at top CS/engg. institutes and a local college is night and day. This means that only a small subset of the graduating engineers get any decent quality of education.

Most of these people, often considered the cream of the crop are poached by the aforementioned western companies or go for graduate studies.
Graduate institutes in India are underwhelming, so these students land up in the west as well.

The rest of the cream have to choose between software engineering roles that pay around $15-25k with very little vertical movement and business analyst/ consultancy roles where you might earn a bit more and have a much clearer clearer progression up the ladder. These are often referred to as the MBA crowd.

Look at people like Sanjay Ghemawat, whose achievements are as noteworthy as Jeff Dean, having been a fundamental part of developing MapReduce, BigTable, Tensorflow, GFS and Spanner.

It is actually a very ironic situation. One one hand the US is complaining about negative intellectual biases against Asian immigrants, while both the Indian and Chinese govt. are lamenting how they are losing the cream of the crop to the US as well.

If both are the be believed, India and China's best are leaving the countries, but the US is not getting competent people from these countries. So, I guess these people have vanished into thin air. In the mean time Chinese and Indians increasingly churn out ground breaking papers and research in CS.
I agree with your statement but when I said "hard" I meant the work itself was hard rather than the work "lifestyle", if that makes sense

I woerked in banking and agree it is a hard work environment , but getting the deliverables done was easy and not intellectually challenging. From my friends in big consulting and law firms the work sounds similar in nature
I tried to order something today that's in stock and sold by Amazon and the delivery estimate was next Friday through the following Tuesday. I didn't bother and instead ordered it from Target for the same price and I'll have it Sunday or Monday. I'll probably stop paying for Prime if this sort of thing continues to happen.
Very small pebbles
Do you have a throwaway email? I'd like to ask you a few questions about transitioning from law to programming. Thanks.
Dude, you're presenting a straw man argument. This entire thread, I've been saying I don't want them to be treated differently.

YOU are the one defending special treatment. Isn't that what has happened here?! They've successfully lobbied the city to treat them differently than everyone else?

All I was saying is it's harder to feel sorry for them. If you really cared about this issue, I'm sure you could find REAL tragedies that aren't being heard by the city council every single time the city does these tax sales. Like actual families being evicted for "clerical mistakes".
Lack of knowledge doesn't neccesarily stop one from programming. There's nothing stopping you from calling yourself a programmer, or applying for programming jobs, and so on. Whereas to be a lawyer or a doctor you usually have to be licensed by some sort of government authority.
I realize it was a typo, but I love the idea of an "inverse cute law".

Filecoin is the only one I looked into that seems like it could pan out. Its goal is to be an incentive layer on top of IPFS, that would make mirroring data ("pinning") over that protocol profitable.

That's neat. It does remind me a few things. They're only related by this topic.

1. A buddy was experimenting with 3d printers, and was measuring the spin on a magnet superglued on the back of a NEMA 17 shaft. He had weird interference going on. We eventually figured out the sensor was sensitive enough to measure the magnetic field in the stepper itself. Our solution was to take a spinning rust HD case, and cut/wrap it around the stepper.

Spinning rust cases are made out of MU-Metal. Think of them as magnetic shielding. And in our case, it worked with nothing more than scrap we had around.

2. There was a company I ran across a year ago that was selling chips that could communicate over a personal magnetic area network. They didn't give hard numbers, but claimed they could transmit audio and video within a 2m bubble. They also worked through stuff like water (which kills most radio). I asked for some samples, but fell on deaf ears. I'd still love to have/purchase a few chips to experiment with.
+delivery truck can serve the entire neighborhood, saving gas from everyone's cars

+frequent restocking means you can use a smaller, more energy efficient refrigerator

+frequent restocking potentially means fresher food

-government/big biz can more finely monitor and control your food supply
> The most common response I’ve gotten to this post is that we should expect programmers to be well-paid because software is everywhere and there will be at least as much software in the future. [...] Yet electrical engineering comp isn’t in the same league as programmer comp, [...] and there are more processors sold than ever before.

What drives the demand for engineers isn't the number of things sold, but rather the number of kinds of that thing. The variety of chips is still growing, but not proportionate to chips sold, because the numbers are mostly coming from the handful of chips used in servers and mobile devices.

> What is it about some software companies that make a similar amount of money that prevents them from funneling virtually all of the wealth they generate up to the top?

We don't have a union, so the only way a company can be punished for low compensation is if developers leave for higher-compensation companies. Salaries in the games industry are much lower for longer hours, because developers are unwilling to leave the industry to go work on something boring. I don't know the specific case with Epic Systems, but if their employees are older (have families) they might be less willing to relocate. I also know (being from there) that people from Wisconsin have a specific aversion to leaving the state, and it could be that Epic is exploiting that fact.
Likely more than 35 games on a single instance, as ideally you wouldn't be starting all games at the same time on the same instance. Staggering the start of games on each instance would be ideal.

For example you could have dozens of late stage games that combined have less players than a single, just started, 100 person game.
Seriously? You think the tech is impossible?
Hypothesis: there aren't two clearly differently skilled populations of programmers. There are two different populations of companies that are willing to pay different amounts. Lower pay being at startups and large non-technology companies in lower-cost-of-living markets; high being at the big prestigious tech firms, banks, and the like.
> While I can't speak fully for medics

Medical school will teach you the basic science and theory and give you basic clinical experience, one still needs to complete a 3 to 7 year residency in the field one wants to practice in. Then there are fellowships that one may want to do if they want to specialize even further.

It's definitely not the case that you learn everything you need to know in school.
It solves the biggest problem that I had with AMZL, which is when the courier claims they delivered a package when they didn't. What happens is that the same day couriers will get overloaded and be unable to finish their routes by the 9PM delivery deadline, so they'll just drive by and mark delivered (I think it's a GPS thing) and then drop it off in the morning. Some times they never deliver it at all. The picture eliminates this bullshit, as they must show the package on my doorstep.

I haven't had this problem since AMZL started taking pictures, but I also haven't tried Same Day delivery as much. I'll have to give it another shot to see what happens.
Experiments generating video (and audio) of Chrome headless sessions
When Bluehole take down PUBG for 5 hours, there's no communication outside of two tweets. When Epic see degraded performance for less than 2 hours, they give a postmortem.

There's a difference in the level of respect each company gives for its customers. I play PUBG a lot, but I want to see Epic win in the long run.
Wouldn't optical transmission (light) be much better? Both planets would have multiple satellites that would be the proxies between planets as one of them would always be able to "see" the others. Alignment would be tricky, but seems more promising with throughput.

I feel like I miss a part the meaning of "offshore" here, and I suspect it's more cultural than a linguistic problem. I mean, technically, German or Japanese developers working for US companies are "offshore" too, but I don't believe you're accusing them of "churning code without regard to code quality"?

Oh, and also, both the previous paragraph and your comments in the thread are (edited:)nationalist[1]. Not that it's not fun to use stereotypes and a few anecdotes to form an opinion, so don't mind me, just noting.

[1] Not sure if it's the correct word, I mean discrimination by ethnicity and nationality.
- Why would you expect them to have more than the bootcamp on their resume? Most people don't have prior programming experience, and most bootcamps are demanding, such that they wouldn't have time for side projects.

- Is the test using a language they're familiar with? An editor they're familiar with? Is it pair programming, or are they just given a computer and a desk? Are they allowed to use Google/SO/etc?

- Why do you expect them to have a curated and up-to-date GitHub? Most of the code on there will only be stuff related to their bootcamp program.

Without knowing the specifics of your interview or the particular bootcamps you're hiring from, it sounds like your expectations are mismatched with what the bootcamps are teaching.

> The thing is most research papers are simply not accessible to neophytes

The other thing is that it's not just neophytes without access. Heck, even in-academia researchers often have insufficient access (I recently spoke to someone at Nancy, France, which is wealthy enough), let alone the droves of former academics.
And the NFL tries to provide that help, by making rookies listen to lectures about managing their finances. But while you can make them listen to advice, you can't force them to follow it.

> If politicians actually want to make sure everyone who needs a place to rest their head has one, there’s only one way to do it: Build more housing. Which means, in turn, loosening the legal restrictions and community veto points that make it so hard to add supply. Because there’s no way to escape the fundamental math: Unless you build enough housing to shelter the people who want to live in your city, a whole lot of people will be left out in the cold.

Plain and simple: The way to have economic justice is to build enough housing to satisfy demand.
