Also, picric acid was a popular filler for WWI shells, and picric acid tends to react with metal casings over to form picric acid salts, which are very shock/friction (and potentially vibration) sensitive.

Also, be careful of first aid kits from that era, as they sometimes used picric acid as an antiseptic on gauze, often in contact with a metal case...
Now wait what a second kid can do to your schedule flexibility :) It‘s not twice the change, but times 4, at least in the first two years.

Yes, I think you're very likely correct.
I most definitely agree with your last paragraph. Living in the urban core of a city should entail complete reliance on taxis, public transit, mopeds, and bicycles. Those in my city who are living downtown, yet willing and able to shell out $300+/month in parking fees shows there is room for more housing instead of parking spots.

> I really don't see the need to use anything else other than Maven, unless it really substantially improves the build speed and IDE tooling experience.

If all you need is build speed why not fall back to ANT scripts?

I am sorry to disappoint you but If it wasn’t for ANT, I’d say Maven is one of the worst build tools out there (at least as far as Java ecosystem is concerned).

Build speed of any decent Maven project is nothing to sneeze at. Grade, while slightly slower at startup is consistently faster at dev time because it can actually do proper incremental build. And it is miles easier for dev tools to integrate with because its build model is actually immutable, which is a major point why Gradle IDE integrations don’t actually suck when compared to Maven.

It’s funny how Maven is considered to be more declarative because of the XML syntax of the POM files while the underpinning technology is ultimately much more dynamic and mutable than Gradle’s. While Gradle which chose dynamic and malleable language like Groovy for the syntactic front end is much more declarative and immutable of the two.
It was both mostly joking and because of distorted media coverage. I can't remember seeing one tho anytime recently.
the answer is, #1 and #5. the "enforcement" and "demographics" reasons are bullshit. I've never heard of a "streaming pirate" site but keeping a long term connection open to a pirate entity's site seems like a crazy thing to do just from a browser exploit point of view.

I do! And my parents and brothers and sisters families do, too. And once the DRM is gone we can share from each other in ways that we find ethical (these are the same people that I'd happily lend a physical Bluray disc to).
I'm in kind of a unique situation. My last startup was too many founders and gave up all the equity for an early fund raise. So I decided to go solo for this one and bootstrap it.

Since I'm bootstrapping, I haven't had funds to hire anyone. So I've been giving equity to friends to help part-time and then hire contractors for stuff as needed. I've already cut down all expenses to bare minimum.

I'm generating income and almost there on breaking even. I think a couple more decent sized customers will get me there.

I've been doing some consulting and custom dev, which has helped, but it's been as needed type of stuff.
I agree, didn't grow up with divorced parents, and I'm not a divorced parent, but it seems - especially in this day - this just isn't as much as a bad omen as it used to be.

I see more cooperative parents (whether they're living together or not) than un-cooperative ones. Married or not. It's just a title to a lot of these people.

Also, if that's what the child grew up with, it's probably less likely to affect them negatively (assuming all positives everywhere else).
Never used Instacart, but your link to show transparency, doesn't actually state what the mark up is.. 2%, 10%, 25%, order minimum or there's fee..

Transparency to me, would mean I place order and know how much it will cost, instacart mark up, service fees and if a tip is included.
3) The grocery stores in my area (midwest) already provide this service at no additional markup and free delivery if you spend over $100.
The other side probably got notified too. I remember seeing a peculiar name on FB's "you might know..." list, I wondered where I saw that name before. I looked in my mail inbox, and it's a guy who sold me something on eBay a few years ago. I never gave Facebook access to my mail account, but what I'm pretty sure happened is that guy did just that. FB saw that we exchanged some emails, and said (probably to both parties): "Hey, be FB-friends with this person!".

I wonder what the security implications are. I think a security researcher added a lot of phone numbers into his phone and let Facebook read it, and Facebook responded with names and faces of those numbers.

Is this related to the issues recently discovered with the TLS-01-SNI validation method for TLS certs?

Looking over how GitLab handles setting up custom domains[1], it's pretty clear they were affected by that. I thought it was pretty much decided that's more a problem with the Baseline Requirements than with individual service providers like GitLab though. Mozilla even went so far as to forbid CAs from using two of the Baseline Requirement validation methods as a result of that vulnerability[2]. Assuming the CAs comply this shouldn't be an issue anymore, right?

Or were you referring to something else?

"You are expected to spend around 30+ hours a week working on your project during the 3 month coding period. If you already have an internship, another summer job, or plan to be gone on vacation for more than a week during that time, GSoC is not the right program for you this year."

However, it isn't exactly like an open ended job for the summer. There is a process by which students and organizations agree on a project for the summer so it is goal oriented.

Like the author pointed out, many of the new "solutions" are just the same old solutions in a new wrapper. There may be edge cases that the new solutions helps with that the old solution couldn't handle, but that begs the question, why didn't we just improve the old tool instead of making a brand new one? This leads to a lot of outside pressures that fall upon developers/companies who are trying to stay relevant in the field. When everyone around you is moving to "B", do you want to be the one that is still using "A" because it works just fine? Do you want to risk being irrelevant in a few years to prove your point? Naturally, many people don't want to take that risk, and so they go on learning the new technology even though it's not really necessary for 95% of developers, and they start using it in their new projects and they get comfortable with it and then the whole cycle starts again.
I was this way with iTunes for a long time.

iTunes successfully turned me off pirating music, why would I do it when I can pay 99p for a song and have all the metadata correct, including album art, perfectly synced to all my devices in perpetuity? And no DRM means I can play them on my non-apple/iTunes devices and media players.. great!

Well, unfortunately I want to own my music, so I don't like to use streaming services and there was an issue[0] with some music going missing. So for as long as apple are pushing their subscription model so hard I'm going to go back to ripping from youtube or downloading FLAC torrents and converting them myself.

(sorry, I'm a little bitter that the entire UX around apple's media player changed to push this bullshit so hard)

We used to have a two-person team provide a standardized programming exercise, clearly telling the candidate that they could choose how to do it: preferably discussing their approach with us, get help/feedback as they progressed, -or- completely silently if they were more comfortable, or anywhere in between. Generally we'd spend about 5 minutes just explaining how it could work, assuaging their nervousness, etc.

Most people opted to do the exercises while thinking out loud. If they paused for a few minutes or seemed lost, we'd offer hints or ask questions, etc. Let them take the discussion where ever they wanted.

All in all worked very well. Candidates seemed more comfortable than just doing whiteboard exercises and we got a really good feel for how they worked with others. We didn't really care much about the code; we wanted to see how they approached problem solving, how well they responded to feedback or questions about potential optimizations or offers of help. Or what happened if they were shown that their approach was a dead-end, but they still doggedly kept pursuing it.

It revealed personality issues very quickly. Nervousness was normal. Some people were hostile when bugs were pointed out, some simply couldn't get started even with extensive help, and others went heads down for half an hour and then came back up with the answer.

It wasn't perfect, but of all the interview techniques we used over the years, it was the one tool that we never got rid of because it proved to be so useful.

But that's the same for BluRay and DVDs. It's just a limited use case and probably just difficult to program for.

And unique usernames don't solve that problem either. If I know a guy named "Mohammad Mohammad" and I want to find him on LinkedIn, I already don't know his unique username should he have one.

If I know him in person and ask for his LinkedIn, he can just send me a link to his profile. If Mohammad is advertising his LinkedIn presence, again, he can provide a link to his profile. Adding in unique usernames doesn't help much in this case.
And the thing is that social networks are not nearly as sticky as they seem.

As https://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/networks/metcalfes-law-i... makes clear, multiple lines of evidence suggests that the total possible value out of a social network scales like O(n log(n)). (Yes, I am biased as one of the authors. But what shocked me was how many independent lines of argument the other authors came up with for the same conclusion!) As the experience of Facebook goes down, it takes less and less work for a competitor to make up the O(log(n)) first mover advantage.

I would therefore not bet on Facebook lasting over the long haul...

This doesn't work, because candidates can (and apparently do) lie.

I've interviewed people who have a pointer to a github account that has reasonable code, who then cannot code something basically as easy as fizzbuzz.

I assume it's because they lie about that being their github account, though maybe it's because they need an IDE to code a single stateless loop.

Edit: or maybe they just haven't coded in >years, and have forgotten how? I don't know.

Regardless of user age, I have no idea what FB is 'for' anymore.

The whole egosphere thing of celebrating your latest life success with posts is only ok for a small social circle. The idea of a captive user being fed 'feeds' has killed off that intimacy amongst friends in an already elderly and visually sterile environment.

I have a FB account and around 1400 'friends'. I rarely post on the account except to post articles about FB's shortcomings and in private groups about old cars I own, which is a sort of useless unsearchable lightweight forum use, a bit like the old AOL groups.

Why post comments about yourself to people you have only ever met online? The only reason I can think of is for the self congratulatory ego boost...and under 25's clearly don't get a hit off doing this on their grandpa's online channel...

I love bandcamp. It only takes 10% to 15%, unlike Apple/Google/Amazon which take >= 30% from artists.

Really I prefer buying CDs at shows. Artists usually get to buy CDs from their own labels for $1 each, where if you buy it on Amazon/iTunes, they have to pay their label back for the recording costs, so they get like $0 until they hit some number (usually a few thousand). So if I buy a CD for $12, they're probably getting at least $10 of that.

Whose boats is tech really lifting?
we used to provide specific percentages, but phased that out over time as it was obvious that wasn't providing real value -- where on amazon.com do you see their markup?

additionally, for virtually all stores on instacart.com now, we are simply passing on the pricing that the retailer has given us (which may or not be marked up from their internal prices -- but we do not control)

edit: to be crystal clear, that means that you are getting exactly what you are asking for -- the prices are simply what the retailer sets (which may be marked up from in-store -- that's their prerogative), and then we show our fees on top of that on checkout. we aren't "hiding" anything, and it's your decision whether the fees are worth your time.
I think a significant portion of the issue is just that people have started to see and experience the downsides of projecting a running tab of their life for all to see, for all time. As people become more technologically literate, the appeal of selling your personal info for the dubious privelage of nothing much has to pale. I imagine the revelations that governments (US especially) are warehousing every scrap of data they can find on us hurts too.

Mostly though, FB is boring and depressing, and eventually even the easily swayed figure that out.
