That's all fine and dandy. You can quote all the shiny names you want from your domain and write a novel about them as it seems you are in the mood for doing that, it will not change anything to what I witness on each C forum I follow: it is always:

1. young people

2. coming from Javascript

3. coming from the land of IDEs which blur the difference in nature between files, between external and internal files, between copy inside the project and inclusion/linking from outside, etc.

4. who take a try at C, because they have heard C is hardcore or something like that and they want to taste low-level to become real programmers, not just web devs

5. who offer or request single header libraries because they have no idea it could be otherwise, or because they think linking or writing a basic makefile is an issue an enormous amount of work, because they come from the land of language-dependant automatic
package managers.

That's somehow the same horrible movement that ends up giving us projects which ship with all the dependencies inside the package. Well, not all dependencies, just almost all, because there will always be a random couple of libraries you'll have to install yourself, without knowing why... And then those 'internalised' libraries will never get patched, never get updated, never get fixed, that's wonderful.

End of story. I do not even know why, along your text wall, you go on fighting things you pretend I have said, when I haven't. I haven't spoken of this library in particular, I haven't spoken of gamedev (I would not touch that with a 10 feet pole), I have spoken of what I witnessed. And that's a true phenomenon that started only 2 or 3 years ago.

The reason they "killed off the jabber client to force users further into their software ecosystem" is because all the other messaging products had decided to move away from an open standard (XMPP/jabber) to proprietary protocols, so there wasn't much point in restricting Google's own ability to innovate around their chat product by keeping it tied to XMPP. We can argue whether that was a good idea or not, but it wasn't purely Google being a bad citizen.

Not the first time I've heard somebody say this.

If you want to do the right thing under severe temptation to do otherwise (at least consistently) you you need to have made that decision in advance, otherwise the situation will overwhelm your ability to process it and make good decisions. If you don't you're effectively leaving the outcome to chance, or perhaps whether you ate a good breakfast that morning.

Also helps when dealing with difficult/angry/argumentative people, or when you're arriving at work into what you know is a difficult situation.
The contention among some folks is that since real estate is the only captive taxation target (people, and businesses, can leave) for Chicago, the only realistic future scenario for resolving Chicago and Illinois’s pension insolvency is to dramatically raise property taxes. That, in turn, suppresses demand for assumed in-future-more-expensive real estate.

Very Georgist!

I absolutely agree about most luxury customers. However, there are certainly those of us in the minority who favor a more mechanical experience when driving a car, and most electric cars seem to move even further away from this in pursuit of efficiency, etc. Consequently, I don't think this market will exist for much longer once driving becomes more commoditized.

I'm certainly on a tangent by now, but there an interesting piece by Malcolm Gladwell in Car and Driver about a possible result of the rise of autonomous cars on car culture today: www.caranddriver.com/features/when-autonomous-cars-rule-what-will-happen-to-car-culture-feature
Hi faizshah. I created RxDB ( https://github.com/pubkey/rxdb ), an offline-first-database (javascript) which works for your requirements, but only with the couchdb-stack.

I did many attempts to create a graphQL-plugin which streams graphql-data into an the offline-first store. But this is not completely solvable because of the lacking graphQL-streaming-capabilities. The thing is, when the users goes offline for an hour an then online again, there is no way to get the changes of the last hour out of graphQL which means the user then would either have missing updates or has to redownload the full state again. The current streaming-api of graphQL requires a stable connection and is so not useable for offline-first.

> Describe z-index and how stacking context is formed.

I have another question: what are best practices for using z-index and simply setting z-index values?

This came up at my last company where we had some huge unruly stylesheets with what looked like arbitrary z-index values sprinkled throughout (e.g. 1, 100, 660, 661, 10000). I guess maybe this is the answer: keep your stylesheets organized from the start.

I had added an action item to draw up some best practices for using z-index but never got a chance to get to it before I left. I did do some cursory googling and didn't come across anything especially enlightening on the topic.

The links provided in this section of this guide explain how it works but don't really address this question. Can anybody point to a good reference for using (as opposed to explaining) z-indexes?

When I'm purely in a dev mode, I do. But often, I'd like to be able to jump into online games with my friends on the same PC, and the games I like to play simply work better on Windows.

> Looking at the AAPL options on yahoo finance, I can't find any puts that cost $156.41, even those in the money 2020 options.

> How did you get selling a put cost same as the underlying share price?

1. Selling put options means you are PAID the price of the option.

2. You might be forced into buying those shares at that price at any time. Therefore, it would behoove you to have that much money in your account, "just in case". By selling an option, you've implicitly signed your name on a very powerful contract and your brokerage will do everything in its power to meet the terms of the options contract (including selling everything else in your account if necessary).

2.5 A Call option is the same thing, except slightly more dangerous in many cases. You are forced to sell those shares to someone else. So in the case of "selling naked calls", your brokerage will sell everything, then buy the stock (no matter what price that stock is at). Naked calls have infinite risk. In contrast, a naked put has a similar risk to buying 100 shares, so naked-puts are a good entry-point for learning the options market IMO.

3. Various options strategies can negate this possibility, but that's a bit more complicated. These more advanced strategies (ie: bear spreads, bull spreads, iron condors...) are a bit safer to play with, but are highly-levered.

> I thought one of point of options pricing is you don't need to put up the same amount as owing the shares.

That's called "leverage". I mean, play with it if you want, but if you really want excitement, there are lotto tickets and casinos. Casinos are great cause you pretty much get free drinks while you gamble.

If you want to have fun for a second, I collected some co-founder issues from famous startups, based on court documents filings. You can read it here: http://thestartupconference.com/2016/05/13/famous-co-founder...

Don't make those mistakes -- easier said than done. At least in the case of early stage startups, I'm not convinced that the board can help. And early is when co-founder issues pop up.
When I've been involved in interviews from the interviewer side, I always try to focus on questions that don't have concrete, Googleable answers. Sure, it's good to include a question or two to filter out the actual impostors—such as asking a candidate claiming extensive Java experience how to check string equality (it's astonishing how many people this filters out)—but after that sanity check, I'm more interested in your approach to problem-solving and communication.

One fun thing to do as an interviewer is to play the role of a business analyst, asking for how they would implement a particular feature; then, make the requirements purposefully vague (while encouraging the interviewee to ask follow-up questions if they'd like). This is a lot closer to most real-world programming challenges than a detailed discussion of reactive programming.
Some tips, just in case they help. When disabling apps, you can generally ignore the warning that other apps may break. Do not disable Google play services, though. Also, go into the account settings and make sure sync is turned off for everything, you can sync manually when needed. Finally, disable auto-update in the play store. Google apps update frequently but will generally continue to work for quite a while if you refuse those updates.

Would that make sense to implement from the perspective of a dating app though?

Users could just move to another platform without artificial scarcity and... stay there, because there is no scarcity.

I'm not sure that coercing people to settle is positive behavior, but regardless, enforcing artificial scarcity isn't a feasible strategy for a dating app.

Accounting and stuff costs you around 40$ per month, so that's negligible. Gym membership? that's maybe another 40$. Not to mention that you get tax credit for those, and other business-related expenses.

Pension plans are all government-sponsored Ponzi schemes, so I wouldn't count on them anyway, but if you insist then paying your own, private pension fund is hell lot cheaper than state-owned one.

The only significant downside of self-employment is that you can't get paid vacation so easily, but still it is possible to negotiate some.

Tinder does this to some extent by limiting how many "right swipes" a non-paying user has every 12 hours. I don't know if that is enough of a scarcity to really change any behavior though.

At the very least it discourages the strategy of blindly swiping right as fast as possible and then choosing a mate from the intersection of "those who also swiped right on you" and "people you'd ever consider dating".

> I am not dominated by my screwdriver just because I use it daily.

That's because a third party cannot pay money to bump you and your demographic on the heads with the screwdriver.

Hm... it's a bit worse than that because the third party is showing you ads on the screwdriver, and your demographic has no idea how a screwdriver actually works in the first place. (In fact even the people at Free Screwdriver Foundation can only speculate how an ad-based screwdriver network with billions of users works in practice.)

Given such a tool, what is the likelihood that your demographic is screwing something you chose vs. screwing something the third party chose? Keep in mind the third party isn't acting arbitrarily but instead based on a rich set of data about your pre-existing predilections, frustrations, party affiliation, geographical location, plus your favorite materials to screw together.

Inosine is interesting. Banned for athletic competition (although that's not proof), and the few studies I found since Jensen continue to support the correlation although none of them are proper RCTs of its effect on cognition.

The downside is that it looks like it does increase your risk of gout/similar problems, so something of a tradeoff there...

I've been trying out low doses of inosine myself (just temporarily, I don't intend to replace the bottle when I runs out because of the gout/joints issue), and maybe there's an effect? It does seem to mess with my sleep the way other stimulants like modafinil do, at least.
I've talked to all sorts of people at parties... mostly it was small talk, or talk about something I wasn't really interested in, and very occasionally about some mutual interest.

Odds are that many of these people actually shared one or more interest with me, but neither of us had any idea because we didn't know anything about each other at the parties, so never talked about it, and so never found out we might have something in common and so might be compatible. Thinking of all these wasted opportunities makes me sad.

With online dating, by the time I meet with someone, we'll already know that we have a bunch of things in common, and already know what many of those things are. So there's a lot less guessing and blindly stumbling around trying to find something of interest to both to talk about. We can cut to the chase and immediately start talking about our (hopefully many) common interests.
I develop on Windows 10, and I don't try to "Linuxize" at all, even though we often deploy on Linux.

I do use ConEmu, but I use PowerShell as my shell, don't run WSL or Cygwin. All our devtools (Erlang, CUDA C/C++, Python) run fine in Windows and using Windows as it was meant to be without any "shims" makes it much easier to deal with differences in file nameing conventions, path separators, etc.

Plus, PowerShell really is the Best Shell Ever.
I think selecting a first-line interviewing strategy depends on how many candidates you have for the job.

Do you have a large number of candidates for a small number of positions? Then tune your process to very quickly eliminate anyone who might not make the cut, at the cost of many false negatives (qualified people who are removed from the process due to e.g. not knowing trivia). This is the Google approach.

Do you have a small number of candidates? Then interview for comprehension/ability to think and work with others, at the cost of more time spent interviewing and potentially more time spent mentoring qualified hires in specific trivia/skills needed to execute. This is the smaller company/less-well-known company approach.

Most of the truly egregious failures in interviewing (not just in software!) come about due to companies picking the wrong strategy given their situation.
You seemed to be arguing that Apple were in no position to be a monopoly. I was showing that they have had the market position to have been included in some monopoly investigations already, and in that other part of the article have engaged in tax avoidance where they made an illegal sweetheart agreement with a nation state. I am suggesting that they have rather more dominance than you were making out.

Now a potential merger is being investigated by competition authorities which supports the article and directly contradicts your comment. Nice brush of though?
I don’t understand. The only way to get Windows programs with a GUI on Linux is through a WINE-style reimplementation of Windows libraries, because it was designed to run all linked together on a single machine. Seems like... software is stiff but protocols are good rendezvous points?
Well most dating apps suffer from the problem of actual scarcity, in which they don't reach a critical mass of people to make the effort of making a profile and actively searching worthwhile. Tinder is one of the few that has gone "mainstream" and has reached that point.

> This process works as follows: a person infected with a particular flu virus develops antibody against that virus. As antigenic changes accumulate, the antibodies created against the older viruses no longer recognize the “newer” virus, and the person can get sick again. Genetic changes that result in a virus with different antigenic properties is the main reason why people can get the flu more than one time. This is also why the flu vaccine composition must be reviewed each year, and updated as needed to keep up with evolving viruses.
I’m not sure if this is still the case, but I found that I would only get proper font smoothing on X apps with WSL if I ran ubuntu-settings-daemon (just needs to run for a few moments, not stay running iirc). You may also have to install more packages (I recall installing ‘ubuntu-desktop’ because I didn’t feel like tracking down the exact ones needed).

Sounds great. Let's all drop the charade and serve the betterment of mankind!

That's a wonderful ideal, but history has proven it to be folly. There may be an abundance of resources, but it's still a finite amount and humans are greedy. When a system like that scales, bad actors always take advantage.

We all want resources, but we all want things to get better too. Mechanisms like capitalism and meritocricy are the best solutions we've found for serving those two desires at scale.

They're not perfect solutions and their effectiveness is decreasing as humans are able to provide less individual value by the day. Still, we don't cling to them because we've fooled ourselves - we cling to them because nothing else has ever worked at scale for very long.

Maybe a better solution exists, but we need more than an idealistic notion of "working for the greater good" to keep it stable.
