Hm. Cool work, but I'm not sure I really see a practical use case? Ideas welcome.
I mean, it takes money to make money. It's also not required to max anything out. If you can only put $10 a week into retirement, put $10 a week into retirement, until you can put $15 a week.
This actually looks really cool. I really like the idea of RPC over websockets built into the framework, I don't do much webdev anymore but I dont think I've seen that before.

This is the sad part about today. We lost user centricity with the dawn of mobile apps.

The web (http) and internet were conduits for information and communication. Now the pipe is a dumb channel each companies territory.

I miss pidgin where you had AIM, ICQ, IRC, Gtalk and whatever others. I also miss how companies are pushing their app instead of improving their mobile presence on the web.
Sadly that's also my thoughts about Google. When previously they were open and leading the innovation now they are just blindly copying competition in hope of somehow making it big. Twitter? Google Buzz... Didn't work. Facebook? Google+... Didn't work. Whatsapp? Allo... Didn't work.

>It's a decent representation of your journey on the path to mastery.

Mastery of what? Most of them are trivia questions. They don't concern any fundamental knowledge or capability, just familiarity with some arbitrary aspect of browser's working or even a particular JS library.

Asking trivia questions during interviews is a giant disservice to the hiring company. But people do it anyway, either to show off and assert their own "competence" or to filter out "profane" candidates.

Personally, I mostly ask scenario-based questions. "If you need to do X, what would be your options?" "What steps would you take to figure out Y?" Works great and quickly filters out buzzword-spewing idiots who know things, but can't actually do anything.

>This knowledge base represents the sha6red technical language your team mates will use to communicate.

Social signalling. That's all it is.

I remember how my company's interview guidelines use to state that we must ask all C#/.NET candidates about GAC. Meanwhile, 90% of all current developers never had any non-trivial interactions with GAC. Plus, the answer expected from the candidates was kind of bullshit. Plus, it was something you could find online in 5 seconds. sigh I never asked that myself, but I wonder how many qualified people were rejected just because they didn't know some arbitrary set of .NET quirks.
To be really pedantic; a smartphone is not required for WhatsApp. You can activate a Google voice number with a landline, then use your Google voice number to activate WhatsApp running in BlueStacks or your emulator of choice.

> Nobody mentioned the "right to feel oppressed"

You said "What constitutes bullying is in the eye of the victim". So anyone can decide that they are a victim.

> Do we disagree on whether proponents of science can be bullies?

Thus is a actual straw Man. How does this relate to a kid wearing a slogan t-shirt?

> Comparing science vs religion to determine who is worse regarding vitriol is a complete waste of time, and another strawman.

No it isn't; you are the one who talked about vitriol, and balances of power; Just because you don't like a point, doesn't make it a "strawman".
For me: adblocker and absolute minimum of browser addons/plugins. Caution when installing/running just about anything, this is more important vs other OSes because you end up running executables from random websites. An antivirus is a crutch to save you if you messed up here.

Windows firewall is a pain in the ass, but if you have some time you can lock stuff down quite a bit (Windows Firewall Notifier).

Personally, I don't run an antivirus at all; I got sick of Windows Defender making disk accesses so slow so I disabled it. At most I'd set up scheduled scans.

Being a (especially a young) teacher in Europe isn’t exactly great either.

As far as at least France, Germany and the UK goes it’s not uncommon to have supplemental income for most teachers or to work at multiple schools to make ends meat.
Dear god, I shudder to know why you are asking this..
> which 3rd party sites do I need to allow to get the content to show up

This is a game I'm increasingly unwilling to play. The number of domains has got out of hand and are increasingly vaguely named - whether it's a CDN, ads or tracking is often almost impossible to judge.

Life's too short now sites are frequently calling out to 15 or more domains for me to jump through hoops just to get some text to display. Images I'm usually happy to dispense with. So I increasingly favour sites that don't need these games. There's still more than enough - for now at least!
On finding meaning in your 20s
Until they realize that most businesses won't want to move some place with a bad education system where most of the highly educated will move away as quickly as possible and they can't get employees to relocate.
If anyone worries about whether their design is correct or not it's because they've never treated PII with the respect it deserves.

Maybe that should be true, but it isn't.

As a personal example, let's look at one of my own businesses that is not even remotely in the aggressive advertising or other data mining space. The only PII we keep is basic records of how our systems are used, who our customers are, what financial things happened, email correspondence, and so on. Nothing even remotely controversial. Nothing that more or less any online business wouldn't have to keep, often due to legal requirements.

And yet in at least one case we're still worried, because having read the actual GDPR, it is far from clear that things like our backup and logging systems aren't technically in violation. We don't know exactly how we would react if a customer did suddenly request deletion of everything we held on them, because we don't know exactly what our legal obligations would be in that situation.

Clearly we couldn't just delete everything, because we'd be required to keep a lot of that data for legal and accounting reasons. So if nothing else, we'd then have to spend hundreds or even thousands of pounds on taking expert legal advice, and then potentially hundreds or thousands more to update our systems to remove whatever we had to remove.

This is a side business run by a few people, part-time, like many other small or microbusinesses all over Europe. We're not dealing with anything like the scale of personal data of the Facebooks and Googles of the world. Apparently our carefully designed systems, which only collect a reasonable amount of data for legitimate purposes and take care to handle it securely, are already doing significantly better than some of the biggest data hoarding organisations in the world.

And yet, the effort and overheads required to address GDPR could pose an existential threat to the business. Tell me how that isn't disproportionate and how it's all clear and been thought through.

Our business model is based on similar mechanics (tracking activity through our device + performance-based suggestions). It's too soon, but wondering when they point their eyes on us...

From the article:
It provides examples such as (...) messages like “do not fear” and “God is with you” when a “user enters a dangerous neighborhood.”

I would go crazy with those messages poping-out all the time, here in Poland.

Everybody is not buying index funds with roboadvisors.
Passive is still far less than half of the market. It just seems that way to you because the people on the websites you visit have(smartly) all gone passive.

The combined value of all assets held by roboadvisors is still under $50 billion, whereas the combined value of the worlds Capital Markets is around 115 trillion.

Also, there was never a time when retail investors were looking at balance sheets and estimating future cash flows. Index funds fix the problems of inefficiency created by retail fools like the guy above who thinks a professional NVIDIA analyst doesn’t know about cryptomining.
As pointed out by IIIIIIIIIIIIIII, antibodies are way too massive and are not excreted in any significant amount (again, I am talking of normal physiology, not someone with very advanced kidney disease).

To give you an idea of the weight difference, an average human IgG[1] antibody is about 500 more massive than a pretty average small molecule antibiotic like levofloxacin[2]

They actually do adress this, in what i thought was the weakest part of the paper, the "non-key factors" section.

Fourth, vaccines are only active while pathogens are inside hosts, but drugs can remain active in environmental reservoirs [89], suggesting that the strength of selection for resistance may differ for drug and vaccine resistance. However, drug resistance readily evolves even in pathogens that lack environmental life stages such as HIV [8].
Altered headline aside: yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh; speaking as someone with a bit over a decade of experience with Missouri, if I was anything other than white or Asian I'dn't touch anywhere in it besides St. Louis and Kansas City. And even then, I'd still not touch it if I had to.

This is all anecdotal, of course, but from my experience: the average culture of the state is apathetic at best to things that'd be considered unthinkable to your average person in the vast majority of other states, (incidents involving children openly joking about lynching the only black student in the institution, solely referring to them with slurs as the teachers smiled, listening and doing nothing come to mind; for other minorities, like LGBT, it was a bit worse.) and at worst, encouraged somewhat.

There are a few things that contribute to this, I believe. Primarily, the state is incredibly isolated from the rest of the States. There's no real way for other cultures to reach citizens in the State, because it's not a State with a particular pull. States like New York, California, Texas and Washington all have reasons for your average immigrant to go, yet the state of Missouri is fairly void of reasons. There's no particular industry that excels in it, and few people would think it's particularly a "Cultural Mecca," which results in a lack of people coming in. Despite this, there's a very strong sense of pride you'll see in some, quite like nationalism but pointed directly at the State, which leads to a general dislike of foreigners.

The land itself contributes in a different way. There's very little in it for youths and adults to do within. You have agriculture, the bar scene and . . . that's more or less it. It is incredibly void of anything resembling something of interest. There are fields and shantytowns all about, and the majority of cities within look as if they haven't changed a bit since the 1970s minus a bit of rust and wear - trailer parks without wheels. Arkansas doesn't look a far amount different. Even amongst my (quite liberal for the area) group of friends at the time, you could see resentment build as they saw the interests of other groups getting served, whilst their own almost entirely (from their perspective) ignored.
If elected Republican officials are causing the problem, who's fault is that? You get the government you elect.

>Sun and Netscape hated each other, for example.

Ain't that the truth! The bitter irony is that a bunch of the Sun-hating Netscape programmers went over to AOL after the acquisition, just to be mis-managed into the ground by a bunch of "Alliance" managers from Sun.

>Netscape cancelled a project to develop a Java version of Netscape Navigator with Sun Microsystems Inc. because Netscape couldn't afford it, according to Kannegaard. Kannegaard's claims are at odds with the story Netscape told publicly about the reason it killed its so-called Javagator product. "It was explained to me that after Microsoft in their [Netscape's] words undercut their business, they could not afford to continue the project, so they had to reduce their engineering resources and cancel this project," Kannegaard said.

>That is not the story Netscape told the general public. According to a story in ZD Net's sister publication, PCWeek published Feb. 26, 1998, Netscape said it was pulling back on Javagator in hopes of getting help from Network Computer manufacturers such as Sun and Oracle Corp.

> Sure, with enough manipulation you can bring this down to the liars paradox, but that is the case for every paradox.

As @nwjtkjn said, I'm pretty sure the Barber's paradox was literally just Russel's conscious and direct attempt to reframe the Liar's paradox in the context of set theory.

I would be willing to wager that Russel himself would have accepted the idea that his Barber's paradox was basically just the Liar's paradox. It's not as if these are two random unrelated paradoxes here.

- Snopes is easy to use and

- usually Snopes has an almost-identical article about each e-mail subject that my friend sends me. So he would, if he checked, see his own e-mail subject and content highlighted with a big banner that said "FALSE" and explained why/how/etc.

e.g. https://www.snopes.com/pizzagate-conspiracy/

I felt both of these would be necessary if he were ever to examine his sources.

> We need to go to a world where the power lies with the user and not the developer to decide what an app can access, upload, etc. macOS sandboxing and Flatpaks on Linux are now providing part of that solution. [..] Flatpaks on Linux are normally signed, but they can be signed using GnuPG key. No need to pay or ask permission. Of course, the downside of this model is that it puts the burden on the user to check that the key is owned by a reputable person.

I do not see those as placing power in the hands of the user, i see it more as placing power in the hands of the platform holder the developer develops for and the user uses. The user should be able to do whatever he pleases, even at the cost of the developer's wishes and to do this, the platform must allow the user to subvert both the platform's restrictions and the program's requests.

Anything that doesn't put the user in a position of utmost authority and trust is not something that places powers in the hands of the user.
Developer salaries are significantly lower in the whole of Europe than the US, but they’re still extremely well paid positions that’ll give you way over what an average person earns.

Describing it as unaffordable sounds a bit off to me when there are people living comfortably on half what he earned (assuming he wasn’t being massively underpaid).

If he wanted a garage full of Tesla’s in his city centre garage, then yeah, it’s unaffordable.
I think orchestration is critical. Kubernetes has obviously "won", but we're getting alot of wins from running on ECS that we'd have to rollback and reimplement on K8S, at least until EKS becomes available.

Index funds are market cap weighted. The bigger the company, the more you buy proportionally. According to your hypothesis, Apple's PE should be the highest, and yet it's clearly the lowest, at 16.
3D printing is alive and kicking, and is a fantastic tool for the hacker/maker to have in his workshop. I use my cheap basic FDM printer (DaVinci 1.0) on a regular basis to make all sorts of things for my hobbies and business.

The manufacturing capabilities it has given me has absolutely revolutionized the way I think. I think back to before I purchased one, and I was so skeptical about whether it could produce any value at all. I assumed everything it would produce would be too weak to be of any value, and that the limitations of FDM would make parts too difficult to design. Well I was completely wrong and I only wish I had started down this path sooner.

I think my fantastic experiences with 3D printers is in part because I'm an experienced maker and a competent 3d modeller. I can knock up a prototype (like the Lipo balance charger circutry cradle I just finished) in an hour and have it on my desk in another half a dozen. Once I'm happy with that I can have another half a dozen ready for when I wake up in the morning.

Best of all it's just a tool. I never wanted a 3D printing hobby, and I haven't had to take one on. I put filament, power and my STLs in, and parts come out. I've had to repair the wiring loom on one stepper motor as it's a basic unit with no cable chains, but other than that it has been operated like a hammer or a soldering iron, on when I need it, off and on a shelf when I don't.

This article, as a lot of recent conversation about this, (deliberately?) conflates free speech as social and legislative ideals.

When it comes to the government telling you what you can and cannot say, we need to be extremely protective of free speech.

But when it comes to what speech we allow in our social fabric, is "free speech" even a desirable ideal? Should we be able to e.g. continually insult our coworkers without expecting to be fired? Should we be able to lie about our friends and expect them to still hang out with us? No one is actually advocating we have no standard for appropriate speech; rather, they just don't like what falls outside it.

I use a similar set up and wrote about it a while ago too.

One thing you may want to consider doing is mount your drives in WSL so that Docker volumes work. With your current set up, none of your volumes would work.

Details on how to do that can be found on:

https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/setting-up-docker-for-windows...

Also, in case anyone is wondering "why not just use a VM"? I did for ~5 years but the WSL set up is a lot nicer for day to day development.

Detailed on the VM set up vs WSL can be found on:

https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/using-wsl-and-mobaxterm-to-cr...

With the above WSL set up, the development performance is pretty nice I must say. Around 250kb of SCSS runs through a fully Dockerized webpack chain (sass-loader, precss, autoprefixer, css-loader) in 1.8 seconds and live reload works. I haven't even began to try and optimize it with fast-sass-loader and other tweaks. I'm also using the stock node-sass package.

15k+ line Rails apps with 75+ gems also reload in under 100ms for code changes (non-assets).
