> At Triniti, Mr. Wynn offers free Wi-Fi, but after two hours a customer must have “a face-to-face interaction” with an employee, he says, to get a new password

This is the best approach. (The "a staff member will approach the uninitiated customer whose laptop is open for more than a couple of minutes with a gentle but firm request ‘to finish up what you’re doing and close the laptop, please,’ approach is the worst. No sign, no explanation--just a demand.)

This is also fine, albeit ineffective against my MacBook Air.
It doesn’t feel equivalent to me; I tend to think that there’s a meaningful distinction between a bug known before shipping and a bug discovered after.

That said, it’s fair to ask why Apple hasn’t placed priority on the scrolling bug, post-AMP. What the real dynamics are I can only guess; I’d love to hear from lurking AMP or WebKit engineers.
Of course not. With the meltdown/spectre vulnerabilities and mitigations we see that how a processor/OS/program stack executes code can change from year to year or month to month, with significant performance differences. Maybe that's an exceptional blip, maybe it's a portent for the future.
I'm curious about what the common deficiencies that your encountering are. Do you mean lack of knowledge and testing and more applicable skills?

Perhaps if you read the thread a bit more, you would have found my answers to these questions, and you could formulate useful questions that didn't ask for things that have already been provided.

If you would like to follow up to that comment with questions or complaints about how I've presented myself or the industry I work in, feel free to do so. I would be happy to engage with you on any criticisms you have on the points I've presented, I only hope you approach it in a less hostile manner than you have here.

I'm from another field, but I love love love conferences. It's like an annual reunion of my peers, days of detailed talks and better questions, and vast amounts of network chat that I find interesting and valuable.

I see a lot of anti-conference comments here on HN, and I don't get it. Every week I've spent at a conference has been highly illuminating and motivating, and recharged my fascination. This is all followed by presentations to the larger team of what I learned so that the benefits of the experience were broadly dispersed.

3-5 days in a new city seems like a huge win with the professional benefits. What am I missing?
Because the problem domain, process and tooling is specific to your company and a senior person also needs time to learn them.
No, not really. Most UX issues with AMP on Safari rather stem from the approach Google has taken with the html. For instance, it’s not a WebKit bug that tapping the top of the screen on an AMP page does not scroll to top - something that works on virtually all other webpages.
I don't disagree with your comment about just trading the CEO ...

However, operational food safety is VERY transferable and something the Chipotle really needs.

Now, whether this CEO actually has that knowledge is a different discussion ...
From a comment below I just learned about the antibiotic free pork supply shortage. That's insane to me there there isn't scale for one restaurant's meat (and I guess Chipotle is by far biggest demand).

Chipotle should vertically integrate and grow their own pork without compromising ethics. It's already a shit margin business, maybe going to zero margin on the farming could help.
that looks amazing.
Step 4.5: Add Doritos
Is this what you think about other people you see working at coffee shops?
People _say_ that to acquaintances, to coworkers. Just like they stay positive in the workplace and a bunch of other fronts people keep up as part of work life. Your job at work is to sell yourself and your skillset.

With people you talk with honestly outside of work YMMV but I've never seen that as a legitimate thing except with naive people who ended up regretting it. I've only seen people being happy with it when they were already underpaid, unhappy with the culture, or forced to work absurd hours to keep their jobs.

>CTY CS classes in middle school.

The hell? What sort of problems are you getting?

Were you doing edit distance and word break and shortest palindrome in middle school?
That doesn't make sense to me.

Let's say you train someone whose salary is [x]. After training, their market salary would be 30% higher; [1.3x].

Are you suggesting that if they end up with a hypothetical 10% raise, to [1.1x] because [.2x] was spent on training?

That's absurd. You can't just walk out on the street and hire a person who is already trained for [1.3x]. You have to devote resources to the hiring process, which are probably nearly as expensive as training up a junior dev, all things considered.

I honestly think the difference in the second example is that the expenses in the second example are paying the kinds of people who make stupid personnel decisions like this.

I'm obviously cynical about the whole thing, but it seems that MBA-style thinking is almost deliberately evil. I have friends who have gotten MBAs from top schools, and friends who work in management consulting for the Big 4, and I've talked at length with them about their feelings about business practices that they implement and support. I literally have never gotten an answer that justifies philosophical objections to their work, beyond perhaps "well, it's just the way it's done."

I think it's a myth that organizations have to behave in a deliberately sociopathic manner in order to be successful. I mean, to a certain extent being a sociopath is an advantage, but I really don't think that's really a necessity.

On the flip side, I acknowledge that I am not very good at divorcing who I am from what I do. It's why I've made a career helping non-profits and social enterprises. I'd probably be a healthier person if I were able to get less invested in what I do.
This is called a coworking space ;)
The existential chatroom app you can only use when your phone is dying
To be completely fair, in this case the senior author is designated as the author for correspondence, so I'm not surprised that the Times only contacted the senior author. The author contribution statement also suggests that the co-lead authors and the senior author performed the bulk of the work, so it's not just the case of the PI attaching his name to the paper and clicking submit.

But I agree that journalists in particular and everyone else in general need to do a better job of highlighting lead authors in addition to or instead of senior authors since they are usually at an earlier career stage that would benefit from the publicity.
I don't take any though I have given it a try many ears ago. I personally prefer alprazolam (aka xanax) now - it helps great with my ADHD too (especially in combination with piracetam and sunifiram) and is much safer as long a you don't abuse it (by taking high doses or mixing it with alcohol). Anyway, it is important to mention that FDA-approved meth from a licensed pharmacist costs are insane, street meth of the same or better purity is more affordable by orders of magnitude. There is also no such thing as "approved meth from a licensed pharmacist" outside the USA unfortunately so if you need it and go abroad that's a problem (I wouldn't even risk having it in my luggage).
Karl Ove Knausgaard: ‘Contemporary fiction is overrated’
> Indeed, statistical significance testing revealed no difference between students of any tier when it came to interview performance.

Ah, the classic confusion between not finding enough evidence to prove there is a difference, and finding enough evidence to prove there is no difference.

The juniors from elite schools in particular have fewer 1s and 2s and more 3s and 4s than the other juniors. Really, you found statistical evidence that they aren't from different distributions? I'd love to see it.
You're missing a rather obvious point. A junior dev after months of training could jump ship for much better comp now that they're less junior or that suddenly some other company's product interests them more. Another point missing is that sometimes there are very hard problems (eg. self-driving cars, fusion power, DNA pattern matching) that need solving quickly and that's what some companies try to do, there are other type of companies that solve move mundane problems (hr software, customer relation management software, email tool) that have been solved over and over again. To bundle all companies into one category when it comes to training junior devs is a mistake, junior devs could be trained at companies working on easier problems much more cost effectively and efficiently.

" If your goal is to promote a brand"

As a shopper, I know damned well that brands mean nothing these days. Here's my deal: Make a great product, promote it enough so that I know it exists, is something I really need and will last, and - after I test that with experience - I'll promote your brand for free.

The deal is off once you're bought by some Org only interested in milking the brand dry.
Actually MDMA is probably the most dangerous drug that people are trying to get legalized. If I had a teenager, I wouldn't be concerned at all if xanax or weed were legal. Plenty of people take these every day and get by just fine. I could totally see a stupid teenager taking MDMA 1-2 times a week for a good time, and then totally frying out their brain as a consequence. Look at what it does: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDMA#Long-term

That said, I would still support its legalization as long as it could only be administered in controlled environments.

No power plugs (I think most effective) & time limited Wifi. A cafe is not a coworking space although when beeing in USA or more specifically in SF I have the feeling people think it's the same.
My company hires junior devs. We mentor them and train them up. When their skill level goes up they get paid more after reviews. Some have left and that's fine and is natural in a company. We take interns on too and have hired from that pool as well.
As I wrote in the comment you replied to, the screensaver is NOT part of the init system, nor is logind part of the init system.

logind is developed by systemd, but a separate binary. In fact, every systemd project is a separate binary, just developed by the same project. Systemd is as much a monolith as KDE is.

Second, this tiny little logind binary is separate from the screensaver. It does not contain the screensaver, nor the lock screen, nor does it link to them.

This tiny process spawns the session and screensaver, and simply switches between them based on a signal. It's the tiniest possible concept for handling this task.

In general, I'd prefer if you could be more specific about your criticism, e.g. how this separate tiny binary is a "kitchen sink" and the screensaver, which is entirely separate from logind and systemd, is "part of a megalith".
It's not that it's a killer, it's that it is a destroyer of lives. Produces lots of 20ish year olds with deep pockmarks, no teeth, paranoia issues, Hep C, HIV, etc. Unemployable zombies with tendencies to shoplift, drive impaired, petty theft, etc. It's in the same category as crack cocaine. Very few functional serious users. Unlike, say alcohol, mdma, ectasy, benzodiazapines, marijuana, etc.

Meth really is a nasty business.

A Junior Dev will have them, too, though. Not the ones fresh out of college, but maybe the ones that already worked for 6 months or so.
Personal communications are gone from email. They now happen in Whatsapp. Gradually some one-on-one business communications are also moving to Whatsapp. If Whatsapp ever figures out business communications at large, email is practically dead. Excluding viagra spam, this means that nearly 99% of legit communications that are today received in personal email accounts are automated emails (transactional or bulk email). No wonder why Google wants to reinvent email into some kind of personal engaging spot before it completely dies for personal use.
Not so sure, depends if someone is taking the proverbial.

Ubers cut is 30-45 percent range actually
In many other counties an uber won't show up without calling first (and they won't call an international number). I ran into an issue where my US uber account "didn't exist" when I tried to log in on my local phone, but I couldn't create a new account because my name was already taken. Maybe they're better in other counties, but they aren't playing the international card as well as they could.
I would love to see more recruiting at state schools and community colleges etc from tech companies. There are a lot of hard working people who could be great to work with but didn't have the family background they needed to be noticed.
Absolutely - trying to teach people who are not interested in learning requires a very special set of skills, motivation, and personality that few have IMO. It certainly demoralized me as my university teaching responsibilities gradually shifted from small graduate research seminars to overcrowded introductory undergrad surveys, and now in tech roles I make sure to push back whenever my job devolves too far into babysitting. Smart, motivated junior devs are a true pleasure to work with, but unfortunately are still the exception rather than the rule.
We kinda did. This is because we like to hire interns.

Usually intern in our area:

* studies programming at a university

* costs around a 1/2 of a junior

* is part-time with really erratic schedule

* work output still on on par with few juniors we hired

I suspect this is mostly because there isn't as much of a difference between what can one work in 8h compared to 4h (I spend 2h out of those on meetings an email anyway, so it can be productive to route most of these around your intern)

Second part is, we are well known as a good employer in the area, that has a tradition in accommodating for students erratic schedules, which means we get students who would get a full time non-junior position elsewhere, but they don't want to give up on school.
> When I first got into programming, as a high school intern in the early eighties, I was told a programmer stays at a job, on average for the years. I haven't heard this number change at all. While I'm sure there are many jobs where people stay along time, the average length of stay is still fairly short.

I've literally worked at _one_ place that scored well on those three items. Most places are racing to the bottom in one or two of those. Usually it is pay unless you are somewhere competitive like the Bay Area.

> Boredom and wanting to work on something new is probably the biggest driver

That is much like the "exciting new opportunity" story people tell about why they changed jobs. It is not _real_ in the literal sense.

If it was real, they would shop around internally to change projects and succeed. There would be no real need to change jobs.

Idk where you have worked but I've literally never worked on the same project for longer than 1-2 years. Even if I was at the same employer for 6+. If you have people with realistic expectations who aren't piling on technical debt, maintenance work _should_ be negligible even if you are lightly attached to old projects.

Whatsapp usage varies wildly depending on region. A fragmented walled garden ecosystem populated by other apps like Messenger, Line, Kakao Talk, WeChat, etc will not kill email.
But wouldn't the physician prescribing them notice the neglect and take appropriate action? Whereas a meth addict only has the self to decide whether to make some get dome or not? In other words it's less likely you will see those effects on an Adderall users since they are under some medical supervision.
I'd disagree with you in this part:

>Another point missing is that sometimes there are very hard problems (eg. self-driving cars, fusion power, DNA pattern matching) that need solving quickly

If you have let's say 5 senior devs and 1 junior. Then the problem still can get solved quickly while the junior will learn a lot. Obviously, hiring 1 senior and 5 juniors would be a mistake.
Local coworking haunt (UK) is about £20 per day or more. That equates to about 10 coffees. Or 6 coffees, 1 soup and 1 cake. Which starts to make the cafe more appealing.
Use ShouldKO for better assertion messages
Couldn't agree more, I feel that this is extremely under emphasized. Meetups and networking events are the best places to get your foot in the door imo. It's the easiest way to separate yourself from the troves of resumes a recruiter may be sifting through on a daily basis, bypass all the politics and nuances of looking perfect on paper, and in the very least be set up for an interview (where you can prove your skills through explanation and whiteboards).

I'm biased though because I got my first two jobs this way.
I'll believe it when they actually ship something. But seriously, the initial target audience for this is "first-wave application developers". The closest competition, Microsoft's Hololens, costs $3k. It shouldn't be priced like a consumer device, and it won't be.
Those don't really seem as "bizarre" as they are legal padding for these companies. I guess everything has to be written out, no matter how obvious/widely accepted things are. At a certain point though, lots of rules becomes a bit overbearing for employees. Kinda like Facebook and Google turning into helicopter parents.
The photographed lightswitch that is haphazardly installed on an open pattress with no cover is probably not up to code, either.

However, it does add to the atmosphere.
That's fair. I have no real personal exposure to MDMA users. I have, though, lots of personal exposure to crack cocaine, opiate, and meth users. There's very few functional addicts. All three are life ruining, if not life ending.
Pay attention, because it’ll be a while before anyone tells you this again:
You are the sort of person people in this thread are warning others about.

Nobody who ‘needs training wheels’ is going to get them from/do TDD.

I’m more concerned about people who think they can fly without learning to walk.

Most of us can type 60-80 wpm. Have you ever gotten close to that while coding? Typing is incidental. The very easiest part of your day. You’re right, they type less, because they’re so into the smell of their own farts that they refuse to believe their bugs are bugs, and they make other people clean up after them.

Humans are fallible. We all have bad days. We all get distracted. We all misunderstand. We all change our minds. Don’t be so sure you got it right the first time. Even if the evidence supports you. You’ll be looking at a broken piece of code soon enough that you can’t figure out how it ever worked. Sooner or later it’ll be yours.
It's hard to produce unbiased news, news is what's noteworthy, that implies at least curation if not explicit 'bias'.

Hence whenever an article gets published, a group of people say 'they should have published something else'
That sounds like crowdsourcing the core focus of the business then.

The ability of people to point out factual errors should be kept for small details, not the all too common practice of posting articles without first getting them checked by experts. Why should unpaid experts have to go and spend hours posting corrections of the articles in Washington Post? Washington Post should be finding and paying experts to do this pre-publication.

There needs to be some level of quality control at the Washington Post if they want to keep their reputation -- which they have tarnished very poorly since their push for the Iraq War and the role they had to making that war happen.
My understanding was that Addrall and the like, while kinda similar chemically to meth, ends up having pretty different effects on the brain?

I think the issue is moderation. People aren't all that good at moderation --which is why you don't get doctors encouraging people to have "a moderate amount of red wine" because people will make up their own minds what "moderate" means even if you say 4oz... that definition will be stretched.
