Definitely a concern within the business -- we're trying to solve this through a combination of tooling and reassignment of reviewers to the same projects. Within tooling, we use analysis to pair developers with expertise against a project (if you've built a middleware stack in python ten times, it becomes easier to gain context and identify issues).

Totally true in places like mobile/react, or projects where teams are unlikely to have significant internal expertise despite technology in production (see a midsized game studio running an erlang server for chat) providing value is easy. We believe our approach is working, and will continue to get better.

I remember the fierce battle in my mind trying to judge whether I wanted a proper strict xhtml page, or I wanted external links to open in a separate window... This was literally what drove me away from strict xhtml. Everything else I was on board for at the time.
Just the other day I voiced [1] a concern on a ZFS thread about not enough modern filesystems [2] shipping as defaults (or being recommended as such), despite some of these filesystems having been around for many years.

This is a promising move to the contrary.

If you remember the iPhone 4 prototype left in a bar, stolen then leaked to Gizmodo case from a few years back, I believe Apple hired an off-duty SFPD detective to "accompany" company security officials when they went to go talk to the guy who had it.

if I have a forum I store the email of the users so they can recover the password. Same thing if I put up a simple newsletter to contact my users, I have their emails (newsletters may not be fashionable but they're much more effective than using a facebook page or other systems, since you own the email list of people who want to hear from you).

So, even in the boring world of small websites, you have to comply.
Well the (mod n) notation is just an implicit homomorphism, phi(3*3) = phi(1) where phi : I -> Z4. But during lectures it was pretty common for professors to just drop all the greek and squiggly lines and commonly write things like 9 = 1, and use '=' with whatever arcane RST relation which happened to be relevant at the time.

Proper shopping and meal prep would eliminate most waste when cooking for two. A lot of perishables are sold by weight so even if, say, the scallions are bundled by the dozen, you only have to buy two not the whole dozen. Also, pick recipes that have perishables in common so that you can be sure to use them all up. Finally, use your freezer. You can, for example, blanch extra veggies that you get on sale and freeze them.

It takes practices, but that is part of learning.

Congrats on being a new dad!

I have 2 kids of my own and grew up in a family with 8 kids. The #1 thing I really appreciated when I reached adulthood was how relentless my parents were with all 8 of us when it came to working hard for what we wanted and treating people around us with respect. They didn't just preach it, they lived it so we learned by watching them. I may be a little biased but all of us turned into really good people and we all make pretty decent livings.

I carried that on with my 2 kids and so far am pretty happy on the people they are becoming ;)

The other thing I do with my kids is get really involved with whatever they are interested in at any given time. I look for learning opportunities in those interests and leverage those wherever I can to teach them new skills in a way where they don't realize they are being taught.

Mostly, enjoy the ride! It is an amazing ride that goes by so fast!

Uh huh... I'm guessing you aren't a fan of the 2nd Amendment then? Not trying to derail things, but assuming the State MUST have a MONOPOLY on violence is a terrible idea.

We give the government the leeway we do, because it is the best way to provide for the common defense of the nation. NOT because ONLY the State should have violence open to it as an option.

Anyway... Back to healthcare... The type of structure that made the military industrial complex problematic was specifically that the industrial part was doing everything they could via lobbying/bribery to maximize profit. A shift to a model where we attempt to minimize waste, and maximize effective treatment/cures turns the quality equation on it's head. You still run into the issue where riskier grants that 'may work' are going to have a harder case to make in order to be issued, but I think that once one gets away from trying to build industrial supply chains predominantly for treatments that don't result in cure, you would start to see materials and expertise to get industrial supply chains built period may become more easily accessible if not perhaps become much cheaper.
I thought about that as all.

In addition, paying sources for information could lead to "fake" or incorrect information being provided to the media by "leakers" who are simply in need of money.

What a horrible world that would be, don't you agree? Sometimes regulation of business really is for the benefit of all, as Apple so vividly reminds us of time and time again. Designing their products to be basically irreparable should be allowed but it would be good if they were made to fess up to this before people forked over their earnings to buy one of those discard-a-phones. In Europe manufacturers of white goods have to put an energy label on their products to give prospective customers some idea of how much energy the device uses in comparison to other current devices in a scale from A to D (up to 2010: A-G [1]). This concept could be adapted to device maintenance as well, covering both repair as well as replacement of consumables. Apple products would score 'D' on availability of spare parts and 'D' on third-party service access. Such a scheme might help in convincing manufacturers that serviceability can be a selling point if done right.

Because I started programming before taking maths at school, I didn't properly appreciate equality for a while.

Sure, algebra was fine, a(x+y)=ax+ay can go either way; but not ratios and other relationships.

What helped me was was geometry, where you can see it's just a relationship. All the components move together; one part isn't priviledged as the result.

e.g. you enlarge a circle.
It doesn't make sense to ask whether the radius made the circumference bigger, or the circumference made the radius bigger.

You should be made aware that none of those happen in most EU countries. Most people here feel that things done in the US like public sex offender registeries are abhorrent.

Anything they object to as a group, I like.
The way I look at it is it will constrain the ability to deliver news to those who can afford to produce original content, which will be larger outlets with more resources. This allows a vastly smaller group to control the narrative.

How will this effect google or facebook at all?

Anyone with a blog looking to quote a news outlet and provide commentary is now mandatorily taxed? How do you NOT see this as bad? What good can come of it at all?
Good work experience is good work experience. It will earn you more opportunities and money down the road. Just insure you mix development and ops if you want the flexibility to be able to do both down the line. If you only do software engineering then you may end up building really poor applications because you do not have the systems engineering experience to know how to scale and secure apps appropriately.

Since it is just an internship it will not be your first and last job. If you want to do one for some time that is fine, as when you apply for another role you will normally have to pass engineering tests for the job at hand which will let you know if it is right for you. The really good jobs ask you questions related to what you or your peers are actually doing.

I don't like it when my device (whether a phone or laptop or desktop or whatever) is completely useless without an Internet connection. Therefore, I at least need (or very strongly want) native apps.

I don't, however, need "native" apps that are themselves useless without an Internet connection.

It's not a question of legal authority. It's a matter of if a company wants to do business in the EU, they have to follow EU laws. The EU isn't imposing laws on other countries. If a company does no business with EU citizens and collects no data on EU citizens, they don't have to follow GDPR. If they do collect data on EU citizens, they have to follow the law, regardless of where they're located, or face fines. It's a consumer protection law. It's no different than, for example, requiring products from Chinese companies to pass US safety regulations before they're allowed to be sold in the US.
No, but every year we delay replacing human drivers with something much safer, we incur huge distributed costs.

It seems safe to assume that they did purchase it -- or that they will, in the near future (perhaps they haven't technically "purchased" it yet if, for example, the PO or payment hasn't yet completed).

I mean, $30,000 for the "unlimited" one-year license? Seriously, why wouldn't they purchase it. If local and state police agencies have bought this device, I think we can all safely assumed the FBI has as well.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the FBI recommended the purchase of this device to local and/or state agencies.

"Bet 98% of the apps on the App Store get a $1k in revenue/month"

That ain't too bad. A handful of apps like that could let a developer live reasonably comfortably.
If a newspaper in a town of 1,000 people was devoting half a year of a reporter's work to a single investigation, that newspaper was already going to fail as a business. Even if every link to the eventual story required the linker to pay €100, because in that case people would just refuse to link.

There is nothing good about link taxes. And sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.

Meanwhile, this cannot help even responsibly-run small news organizations, because it will just direct all the large aggregators and large news companies to make deals with each other, and the small news companies will get zero links and collect zero "link tax", and small/new aggregators will not be able to afford to operate. Result: large organizations stay large, small ones continue going out of business.

Someone on Twitter earlier was saying journalism has a history of relying on rich people who don't mind losing money (the modern example being Bezos and the Washington Post), and that we're trending back that way. Anyone who can't find a patron is probably going to go out of business no matter what.

Let’s assume we are talking about Q, the rationals. x+3 is an element of Q[x]. This element of Q[x] defines a natural map from Q to Q. The equation x+3 = -2 is equivalent to finding the pre-image of -2 of this natural map.

x is actually just, in the language of computer science, syntactic sugar. In reality x+3 is really the infinite tuple

This version of 2,3,4 are one set of possibilities focusing on younger entrepreneurs. As was noted recently https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1679422

"Our primary finding is that successful entrepreneurs are middle-aged, not young. The mean founder age for the 1 in 1,000 fastest growing new ventures is 45.0."

2,3,4 can be more generalized to be: "have access to sufficient capital to address the opportunity". Which in general I would guess that there are more 45-year olds with access to entrepreneurial capital in some form than there are younger entrepreneurs in the original stipulation of 2,3,4.

You can look even further ahead. Because the past few decades have been so strongly concentrating wealth upwards, one might predict that there will be fewer individuals with the personally owned capital to start businesses so the number and the 'risk level' of ventures to be shifting downward over time. The risk level would go down because the commitments of capital become more committee based the more people need to approve of it - and so you get fewer Elon Musk type investments, and more safe-looking investments in better paperclips (or the next social network ad app...).
Here's my take:

Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge all support WebAssembly today. It shouldn't be too long before we see native DOM support in WebAssembly, as well as some rudimentary implementations of UI abstractions on top of that.

I think within a few years, we'll see PWAs being written in various languages -- whether you're a classic JS developer or a hipster with a Go fetish -- and compiled to WebAssembly. PWA functionality is finally starting to be supported by Apple (mind you, it's terrible in iOS 11.3, but it's a start) which is great news. Web is still a questionable delivery mechanism for PWAs as they can be heavier (especially if people start compiling their own runtimes into their packages -- great opportunity for CDNs here I think!), but web delivery is just one way to do it. And it's not even that bad.

There won't be a separation between native and web: you'll have a project compiled to WebAssembly that is either delivered via the web, or via the Play Store/App Store/Windows Store. This is great news for devs and Microsoft (or any other company struggling in the mobile market because of the apps problem.)

But those are arbitrary design choices too, just default ones. They don’t reflect the underlying functional structure of the page.

Brutalist architecture is intended to reflect the functional structure of the building. That concrete is there for functional reasons; it is sized for functional reasons such as holding up the wall. Concrete is used because it’s a functionally versatile material. All that functional purpose is exposed.

Brutalist web design might be something like showing the DOM without styling it. In a Lisp context, it’s be like showing raw s-expressions as output.

It can be frustrating to see the public, out of ignorance, grossly misjudge the relative contributions to health of, say, a vaccine developer relative to a self-promoting surgeon.

It will shift (as you note) money from those reprinting news to those producing original content. The former is cheap, commoditized, and in no danger. The latter is fundamental for a functioning democracy.
