I don't work in coffee shops - or drink coffee for that matter - but I do take long lunches at times at restaurants just to just take a break during the middle of the day and take my iPad and go through my RSS aggregator. There is something relaxing about the combination of being around other people and still not having to interact with them. I don't get it either.

It's the same way about going to the gym. On one hand, after I stopped teaching fitness classes part time and working out with friends, going to the gym became a chore. I like working out at home and converted one of our bedrooms to a mini gym. I love the convenience, but kind of miss just working out on the gym equipment around other people even if I never talk to them.

Maybe it's the sense of shared purpose?

Thanks for the input, it's something we've considered - the login is not meant to be obstructive. It's functional and helps us on the application development side because we can then build with the expectation of a logged in user and make accommodation for natural customizations like saving reports, custom defined movie lists, etc. Plus it is free, and we don't and will never abuse your info.

We do try to communicate the value prop in the blogs, the video and (yes) the screenshots. At least enough to get people to clear the relatively small hurdle of a SSO. If it's a matter of doing that more effectively I'd love to hear your thoughts there =)

AFAIR, it doesn't work for Windows clients, which are a rather large user segment. Still, it is impressively simple to use for Linux and OSX users.
My point is that if you do it the naive way then they are all equally likely. You need to do something extra to make the ones you want more likely. And this only works in some cases. (I guess Grover's algorithm works in all cases, but it's not a exponential speedup.)

That's a good question, and it's true if you're a casual movie watcher beyond the critics and audience scores I don't think you do need much more tbh. And we do make those available, and aggregate and weight all the inputs across many sites so we give you a really good score there. There may be an Expert vs Casual mode in the future where we hide some of the crazier stats.

That said, some of the feedback we've gotten so far from more casual users also likes the future movies and buzz score, it's an easy way to see what's coming up this year and how excited people are about it.
Just a note, it doesn't work with Windows, only Linux and OSX.
I think I'm personally glad about this verdict, but it worries me nonetheless, because it justifies thinking like this:

"For the Raffs, this remains the burning issue, which
the technicalities of auctions and algorithms all too
often obscure. They see it simply: Google, or any other
search engine, should present only impartial results
that do not benefit it financially. It sounds
idealistic, but why should it? “After all,” says
Shivaun, “this is what people want, and what they
believe Google still delivers.”

Maybe Google should act that way, and certainly the Raffs are right that people want that --- but is it something that should be enforced legally? I could see saying that Google has too many opportunities to benefit anti-competitively from its search dominance, and that it should be split up to prevent that, but not that it should be forced to supply results in the way "people want", counter to its financial interests.
Well this is awkward
Actually lol-ed at this reply.

In a better world perhaps this would be true...
There's probably a market for a table surface that's just uneven enough to make a laptop wobble, but with large enough flat spaces for small plates or coffee mugs. Maybe some raised metal domes/rivets of slightly different heights placed strategically on the tabletops.
I don’t like how usual ios controls stop to work with amp, e.g. scroll to top by tapping on time; back button works[-ed] wrongly. Also there is annoying amp bar at the top that pops up constantly when I scroll. They can’t distinguish between swipe-and-stop and swipe-and-letitscroll in browser, so it doesn’t work as safari header bar.

Better they completely faked dns/cert in some wat and presented me copied content from their amp cache. I don’t check sources anyway.

Because they want to run a cafe, not a networking hub. Your typical owner isn’t going to be aware of turnkey solutions for this and would rather not spend money on a manager wifi provider to solve this.
They already make a profit without AMP in Gmail.

Well, it's a failed attempt at translation. "Baby Boomers" is not really a term that is used very often. I was referring to the generation that was born during the war or in the immediate aftermath.

Well, that's the problem with painting a whole generation with one brush: For a lot of individuals, it's not representative. 0

What an oddly specific viewpoint to look at people 8000 years ago purely through the lens of child abuse.

When a lion kills his rival's children is that 'child abuse'?

We have evolved culturally that we now have a notion such as child abuse. To look backwards (emotionally) through modern ideas like 'human rights', 'child abuse', is not a useful model (imo)

You joke! (maybe?) But eventually this is sort of the hope, right?

Sequels are like a trap perfectly designed for movie execs, there is a sort of guaranteed baseline of success - but you're also guaranteed diminishing returns. Currently, they are squeezing a struggling market and sacrificing long-term viability for short-term revenue boosts that mask the structural problems. It's sort of still churning out $10B/year as a market, but that's hiding a lot of weakness and our suspicion is that things will change drastically in the next 5 years.

Hopefully, if we're all thinking about this stuff a little smarter, things change for the better.

Cafes are places where people go to hang out with their friends, sometimes talking for hours, even though they only bought one or two cups of coffee.

A couple of years ago, I reconnected with a childhood friend, after about 10 years of living far apart and only having very sporadic contact. We spent 6 hours talking about everything and nothing, after we finished our burgers.

I would have been extremely annoyed if the staff had decided to shoo us out of there after an hour.
Sorry.
Sometimes. No. Good Options.

But they should be isolated incidences unless you have a systematic problem. One chef treating meat incorrectly can cause issues in one restaurant but not across the country.

What Chipotle experienced was more than what you'd expect to happen in well-run restaurants that prepare everything themselves.
No doubt about it. The only difference is Junior Devs expectations can be tempered a bit. Senior Devs are more demanding.
From the random sampling of Mother Jones articles I've read I would agree - even the headlines have a definite left-wing bent and you can tell within the first few sentences that the author has a certain world view that everything is filtered through.

It's nore of a collection of editorials than actual news pieces.
Is that graph current? ML is on the inflated expectations peak! Geez...
I already got myself in boiling water by criticizing
management in that the way projects and tasks were being
managed was highly unprofessional...

Communicating with managers is a bit of an art. I think a large part of what makes a developer "senior" is their ability to do this effectively.

I'm not making any comments on your personal situation, but as a general rule it's important to talk in terms of solutions and not problems. So don't say, "we have a problem and here is my recommendation to solve it". Say instead, "I think we can improve our productivity by...", or "I think we can save some money by...".

Do some calculations to help sell your case. You want to spend time optimising the build process? Record how long it takes to build the code currently. Maybe it takes 5 minutes. Maybe you build the software no fewer than 12 times a day. That's an hour of productivity wasted per developer. Do the maths, convert it into dollars. Then say, "we can save X dollars a week by optimising the build process. We spend a week working on this, we will have made our money back within a month (or whatever it is)."

Your manager will be quite happy to go to the board to tell them that he's improved efficiency by a factor of X.

Highlighting existing problems, even whilst providing solutions can put a manager on the defensive when you really need him to be your ally.

Obviously I'm not saying never highlight problems. Sometimes you have to highlight problems, but it requires delicacy and if you don't need to, then don't. You probably don't need to a lot more than you think. We developers tend to put the problem first and the solution afterwards and it's quite hard to put aside that mindset when talking to stakeholders. Even Elon Musk finds this hard to do when talking to the press. It's quite funny to hear him talking about all of a Tesla's inefficiencies while trying to sell it!

Also be patient. Your manager actually needs to be convinced of what you're saying; he can't just take your word for it. So if you see an example of how your solution would have prevented a problem that just had to be dealt with, point it out. Take him on a journey, to use an old cliché.
An opinion can't be wrong, a statement maybe, but a statement "this is what I believe: <opinion>" is in any case not up to debate. Because An opinion has to be supported by arguments and those can be wrong. But of course, you are entitled to your opinion.
Man, I am so sorry about this. We're troubleshooting but have gotten other submissions and there doesn't appear to be anything systemically wrong, looks like a spot glitch.

No, the reason is someone at Google had the idea to make a notes app, then they use the data from that app to monetize.
First reply is correct, there are a number of sources out there for this data. ListenFirstMedia, Variety and Opus Data are some other good vendor. We work with a couple.
People get better with practice. So, yes senior developers tend to be significantly faster coders. It's not that they do everything faster, but by getting better at the hard parts they finish complex tasks vastly more quickly.

PS: Most people have never worked closely with someone with 25+ years of experience, but the difference is staggering.
Anyones attention tbh, but yeah Netflix would be great =)
The original employer-employee relationship was between farmers and strongman warlords. If the strongmen didn't protect the farmers then they didn't get fed and if the farmers didn't produce as much as they could then they ran the risk of getting overrun by guys they didn't have an existing working relationship with.

So yeah, I think that was an inherently civil relationship. Agrarian empires were the original forms of civilization. Just because there's a hierarchy doesn't make it not civilized. Hierarchy is instead what makes it civilized. Hierarchy means that everyone can relax and focus on what's in their wheelhouse.
Thing is, any of us who've been in the software industry for very long have probably seen places run like this and that it is not the best way to get quality software out of the door in a reliable fashion.

And yet it still happens.

This is of course because of outsourcing. Junior devs usually do repeatable tasks guided by a manager closely, which is exactly what outsourced heads can do, definitely cheaper than the junior devs in the U.S. would. This is normal.

I honestly don't see what's wrong with doing it at school (mind you this is possibly an unusual view for the UK) - I was taught to use a metalworking lathe and how to handle concentrated sulfuric acid at a (very modest) high school and I know far more people who handle guns regularly than do either of those.
I'm curious about this -

> While typing, you will notice that it is a much more sophisticated handwritten font than others. Spaces between words will not be perfectly identical, and the same two words when typed next to each will not look the same either, thus giving an impression that the text is actually written by hand.

How is this accomplished? I assume there's a ligature for spaces depending on the preceding character - but how does one randomise the ligatures between pairs of characters?
Non-commercial licenses are IMO seriously wrongheaded. It's hardly a unique problem here. See also Creative Commons which spent something like a decade trying to define what the term meant and then ended up pretty much punting when it came time for 4.0.

Even leaving aside philosophical free software issues, the practicalities are considerable. A term (as in this license) such as "not aimed at direct or indirect financial gain" could be read as ruling out pretty much any non-trivial public use given how many things are indirectly monetized in various ways today.
I find training for interviews to be funny. Passing an interview is not correlated to doing well in a job. The purpose of an interview is to determine if you will improve the team and whatever the team is doing, not prove to be a whiteboard genius. If you design the interview to get whiteboard geniuses that's all you will hire.

4 Ways to Build an Innovative Team
If someone is on a permanent contract then their employment cannot simply be terminated ever. They can be made redundant, which means that the role cannot be refilled, or they can be fired but only after going through a disciplinary procedure (In the UK these rules only comes into effect after the first 2 years of employment).
Like I told the other commenter, if you want to capture more of the value, you need to own more of the business.

Look, if we're talking giant corporations here, I agree with you. The company isn't going to miss another $5k/year. But if you play hardball with a $3M company, then they're only going to keep you until they can outsource your job away. Their budget is what they live and die on, and surplus profit typically gets rolled back into the business, not wasted on dividends.

You're directly affecting company viability by not being willing to leave some money on the table.

I like the way it works in France: There, many coffee shops have set-up co-working rooms, which are separate rooms where you can rent a place by the hour.

Yes, it is a bit more expensive (usually ~20$ for a day), but you get the same "coffee shop experience" and don't have to feel guilty or obliged to eat/drink (often not so healthy) stuff all the time.
Wow, that looks like a lot of work. Nice effort.

You might be interested in speaking with Janet Yellen, Ben Bernanke or Alan Greenspan. When the Fed printed 4 trillion dollars to bail out Wall St., they must have had some seriously good therapists on board to help with dealing with those unwanted feelings you mention. Well, I think they have even learned to enjoy those feelings otherwise they would have demanded changes to Wall St along with the value transfer from the American worker that they were given.
This is something I don't mind paying taxes for.

That is not opt-in, that is a forced choice between two evils.

I do not wish to be forced into an opt-out situation. It is opt-in or nothing.

I will continue to block ads, miners and other malicious scripting. They can offer whichever ad or miner they want, and I will simply refuse and block all of them from appearing on my device in my browser to consume my battery power and my bandwidth.

They are more than welcome to put up a paywall, either single payments or a subscription service, and I will pay for their content if it is appealing to me. They are also welcome to (attempt to) block me for using JS/ad blocking. It will either be completely ineffectual and easily circumvented, or it will make me go to other sites, that don't treat their customers as cash cows.

I have absolutely no obligation to unknowingly fund other people's internet profiteering moonshots. If they want money, they can ask for it honestly and directly. I support several content creators on Patreon, and I regularly donate to various open source projects and the like.

I don't mind paying for stuff, but I do mind when it doesn't happen openly and transparently.

While there are laws, have fun trying to file a complaint / anything happen. You love red tape? You’ll love trying to navigate it to report a cab that didn’t shown up on time.

I tried this a few times. I had a cab scheduled to take me to the airport. They didn’t show. I called, they said I never scheduled anything but could have a car there within an hour. That would make me miss my flight. My wife drove me and was late to work. I tried calling the city and the cab company said “we have no record.” And that was the end. Even though I had a call record showing I called the cab company the day before. Nothing happened except about an hour of me on the phone, two letters and a lot of frustration.

Another time, a cab in NY ran over my foot and broke some bones. Despite a police report, the cab company denied that it was them and never paid. They self insure (per NY rules) with a law firm. Seriously, not an insurer, a law firm. They denied claim. NY taxi commission received my complaint and did nothing.

The reality is that the laws are pretty useless as they aren’t / can’t be enforced.

I also tried reporting when thit driver was different than the license shown. Nothing happened.

I have a bunch of these stories over the decades of using taxis.

Uber is much better because they log everything and actually care about their customer. That’s why if I must trade, I’d rather take the extremely small chance of being raped or harasssed and the driver definitely being caught and convicted than a taxi.
I have tried some decent quality ones. They don't block out conversations completely, but it does sound a lot quieter. They are definitely an improvement over not wearing them.
