The note about hydrogen balloons makes it seem as if helium ones are somehow better.

It is not so. Helium is a non-renewable resource. It's extracted by mining and it escapes into space once released into the atmosphere. Using it for silly things like balloons takes it away from science and industry forever [0].

Hydrogen may be flammable, but it can be extracted from water. So please, don't waste helium.

It's impossible to get past HR screening unless you're an CV expert. They look at things like paper texture, inc, font, formatting, spelling etc, because that's what they are good at. They don't know anything about C++ or Haskel. You need to get around HR and talk directly to someone that can actually tell if you are qualified or not. The best bet is if you have someone on the inside that can voice for you. Or get their attention somehow so that they reach out to you.
Google is sick of missing out on all that data mining it can do in the private messenger space.

How You Can Find Granny Hookup Online
clangd already has a layered architecture, where you can either use the JSON-RPC mechanism or more directly control clangd and implement your own transport. There are no plans for this to go away, as generally large companies often have environments in which they want better control of features than a standard protocol like LSP can give you, and we don't discourage that.

We also just talked with Apple folks at Euro LLVM about this, and while the plan for the near future is for them to have a transport conversion to JSON-RPC, I expect them to want the more fine grained control in the long term.

Answering such questions is probably 50% of the job for a senior-level software engineer. And it's 99% context-dependent.
> Imagine if someone said "I would be concerned I'd be seen as a carpenter and not a woodworking artisan".

Carpenters build houses, woodworkers build furniture. IT people reinstall operating systems, fix printers and networking issues and software engineers write software. They have a different education, different job description and different pay scales. A woodworker wouldn't make a good carpenter nor a software engineer a good IT person or vice versa.

There is absolutely nothing wrong in being an IT person or a carpenter, they're reputable jobs that put food on the table. But if your trade is being a woodworker or a software engineer you should be slightly worried if you end up being put in a carpentry or IT. Or vice versa.

Disclaimer: I'm biased because I'm a software engineer and a woodworker. I'm good at my job but I can't fix networking issues or build houses.

"Internet connectivity is far ahead of Europe"

It’s funny because they squashed open standards when they were the big player and then push for open standards when they’ve lost market share. I wish companies believed in open standards for the value they bring to society, rather than selectively supporting them based on competitive interests.
I tend to regard interviews as an opportunity to determine if the company doing the interviewing is worth working for.

People like me are highly employable/contractable. So, the way an interview works is very simple: you got lucky enough for me to take note of the fact that you are looking for somebody with my skill-set and I've determined that you are worth talking to. Fantastic, because I ignore all HR & recruiter spam so you probably found me through some mutual contact that I trust. Great, now we meet and my expectation is for you to decide to hire me on the spot and be extremely enthusiastic about it and get in a mode where you are selling the job to me as something that I want. We both know that nobody else similarly qualified is just going to walk in and take the job. If so anyway, my advice is to hire them on the spot. No hard feelings. So, very simple choice. Either we like each other or we move on. You don't get to ponder your decision for very long. The words "home work exercise" typically don't feature in such a conversation.

In this case, the collaboration with Apple and Ericsson on the underlying architecture has been going on for a while, and while not everybody always agrees on priorities and design details, I'm thrilled to see Apple double down on their involvement here!
I would really love that we all start using some open chat standard (Like XMPP) so WhatsApp, Telegram, etc. could talk to each other.

Or something like email, you could have foo@whatsapp.com or foo@telegram.org and that would be your 'chat address' and all clients could talk to each other

>What do you mean by "arbitrary stream of text"? I fail to understand, to be honest

That it's structured and specific.

UNIX pipes, for example, can deal with any kind of text -- it's up to the user to ensure that the commands (e.g. "cut -d," etc) work ok with them, whereas the JSON RPC communications of the language server are not only in a specific syntax (JSON), but they also have predetermined content schema.
RCS is an improvement to SMS but it does not address the core limitations: it is owned and controlled by carriers, so your ability to contact someone is entirely dependent on that user's carrier. It is tied to a single, physical device. WhatsApp shot to popularity because it was the opposite of SMS: an entirely over-the-top service that everyone could use, on any platform, without the consent, extra billing or buggy implementation of their carrier. As an app, it could be installed on the widest imaginable array of devices - including the obsolete, crappy ones that most of the people on Earth use - without OS updates.

I don't need stickers or Google Assistant. Those things are nice, but they're not what I need. What I need is the ability to contact anyone, anywhere without having to wonder whether it's going to work when I hit 'send'. Hi Bob, did you get my photo? Sorry, it didn't go through, Bob's carrier in Bangladesh has set limits on photo size and mine was too big. I tried to send Raj a message, but he recently got an iPhone and my RCS message sent as SMS and his carrier blocks international SMS messages.

WhatsApp & FB Messenger (and to a lesser extent iMessage) are successful because they reduce the thousands of carriers and hundreds of countries in the world to a single, seamless service. RCS is taking us back to the days where a single obstructionist carrier (remember lots of carriers are owned or controlled by governments) can screw things up for all of their users. WhatsApp et al showcased the ability of the Internet to make the world a smaller place.

I don't Google understands how big or complex the world really is.
But even the best AIs in Starcraft are still quite bad compared to competitive players.

There's a difference if I tell you: I will send you any kind of text at any time, it's your responsibility to deal with it and parse it accordingly to whatever it might be, than if I tell you, I'll send you JSON with this schema.
Don't see freebord referenced in this thread, but I just checked out what freeboard is. Seems like freeboard can consume a data source and make graphs out of it. It needs a data source to push data to it I guess. Freeboard looks more in the direction of plotting readily available data from one source.

Daptin on the other hands manages your database, build REST/Graphql APIs which you can use from any page and provides automation using actions/outcomes.

The main problem with libclang is actually that it puts another abstraction on top of the AST that nobody really had time to maintain.
That's not made better by the amount of work changing libclang requires just due to its backwards compatibility promises.
XMPP is already that, and Google Talk supported it until they found it inconvenient/got enough userbase and removed the gateway & support.
Because people want party parrots. And there isn't a standard to send party parrots through XMPP. /s

Okay, a little snarky, but it makes a point. Chat programs have a lot of proprietary features that won't translate through XMPP.
Analog encryption might be possible if the sender and receiver measure some common optical signal (assuming optically local security is what you're after).
Say hi to Daisy, an Apple-made robot that recycles iPhones
Some time ago, I wrote a small blog post about that Tramp and remote editing files with eshell: http://200ok.ch/posts/edit-remote-files-with-emacs.html
Yes, of course! I mistyped because the names are so close. I can't edit it anymore either. There's of course nothing specific to PyPy (or CPython or any other implementation) with being vulnerable to crap code in PyPI being pulled in by pip or something.

I also meant Chrome extensions of course, not plugins, but plugins are so rare (except the default Flash) and sidelined (even chrome://plguins no longer works) that I call extensions plugins very often.
>At this point I would be very suspicious of all other messengers that still work in Russia.

That's a conjecture is rational, but I think you already have to be very suspicious of anything that worked there for last 5 years, Telegram inclusively.

It is unbelievable for me that they maintained legal presence in the country up until now, while all others were indiscriminately blocked years ago, and incompliant software authors were raided by 3 letter agencies and raped with assault rifles.
>She fake-doxxed another school's crisis hotline, made that resource unavailable to students who needed it;

Did she? Did many people really called that crisis hotline because of her, and to the point of making it "unavailable"?

And was that resource so needed in the first place that making it unavailable for some hours would be some kind of disaster (most schools don't have any kind of "crisis hotline" around the world and they manage just fine).

>she embarrassed her school and forced the administration to issue a statement when they had better things to do.

Yeah, that's what I was referring to by "nothing much".

>If she's fired, she has as many chances as she wants to apply to a school that wants to risk having to clean up after her irresponsible bullshit.

And that's what I called by not giving chances and Old Testament mentality. Perhaps some people enjoy their society being the #1 in incarcerations in the world, or treating anybody who doesn't fit a clean cut profile as a pariah, and having all kinds of people who where not given a chance and ended up mentally unstable (and/or going postal every week or so). Because that's how societies end up with that.

What happened to a scolding, and a promise to not do that kind of thing again? No, it's "straight to the unemployable line you go..."
And it didn’t work. What makes you think it’ll work this time?
It's almost as if they don't understand that much of the value of iOS as a platform comes from Apple's consistent willingness to tell carriers to go pound sand.
Considering traction makes sense, but also remember that every popular library had to start somewhere. If there are no red flags (like a backlog of issues or lack of documentation) and it looks like it could solve your problem, don't be afraid have a look through the code and verify yourself that it's well built, then become an early adopter. I've come across plenty of 10-star libs on Github that solve problems extremely well.
While the messages themselves are definitely E2E encrypted using Whisper Systems' specs (which is nice), the problem is that once the app decrypts them, I have no way of verifying that Facebook does not steal my message for profile building purposes.
So, what about the obvious rename to "Jugoter"?
No end to end encryption = no interest.

If I use this to communicate with a business (or person!), the carrier can read every word. No thanks.

Hell. You can't even download the standards documents without giving GSMA a name and address and consenting to receive promotional material...
That is just a problem of offering good filters.

Every bubble other than the own is unpleasant. Social networks need to reproduce the filters we create in real life (social, territorial, etc.) to represent human interaction.

Facebook is sometimes famously called out for creating those filters. ... although I often struggle to unfollow unpleasant (stupid/hateful/hivemind/low effort) content fast enough.

Transcompiling Firewalls
I found that sentiment deeply off-putting, and I say that as an American in Taipei right now (which seems thematically similar).

The author says 99% of things written are unavailable to him -- and I'm sure it's even more of the spoken word around him. If you subtract out 99% of communication, and all the deep relationships and casual understandings that make a community, yeah, I guess every place starts looking the same.

But boy howdy, that stuff is really valuable to some people, and not just people with nothing else going on in their lives.

Turning 8-Track Player into a Walkman
I'd add consistency to the benefits: when I need leftpad and declare a dependency on "big bag of string stuff" for it, chances are high that codevelopers will pick it up when they need rightpad. Because the very first step in every library decision is "do we already have a dependency for that". Bespoke implementations would tend to end up all over the place.
Amnesty International Calling on Amazon and Google to Stand with Telegram
Frankly, I'd rather have a messaging system controlled by carriers but distributed among all of them (like SMS and RCS) than a messaging system fully controlled by a single company like Whatsapp, Telegram, Allo, iMessages and so on.

I can still switch carriers and be able to communicate with my friends.

The only issue I have with SMS is that it costs money when I'm not in my home country.
Yeah I make 100k and live in Los Angeles sometimes I can't eat food I work remote so my coworkers outside cifornia don't have it too bad. But despite 30 years of experience I'm hardly worth enough to this society to let me eat food or have a roof over my head. 100k is about average for LA but at one point I had a job that paid me only 45k with no benefits demanding I generate a sentiment analysis system I literally had to stop eating to make my rent on that low pay. But in LA engineers are treated like worse than dogs, we have no social currency and if you work for an LA company they expect 140 hours for 40 hours pay far below market average.
To elaborate, the situation as stated in the question is currently Hx, so HH and HT are the only possible results.

Not really; the proliferation has been due to proprietary protocols, not due to efforts to create standard unifying ones.
Jobs was a shitty parent between the ages of about 23–30 (between a few years before that and the middle of that period he had gone from being a broke unemployed college drop-out traveling around India and then living in a commune to a workaholic world-famous celebrity and gajillionaire), after which he apologetically reconciled with his former girlfriend and their child.

This is what happens when you don't have a strict policy wrt what apps you allow in an app store. I like to think Apple would disallow these copied apps, for not being unique / being based off a template (there's app store rules against template based apps iirc).

And if you lose that phone number and phone, you need to get a new whatsapp number. I have to keep my SIM from New Zealand with me so that when I get a new phone I can activate Whatsapp again.
I think there is a pattern with Google:

Social network: Orkut was their one and only working social network. Google - it is not great, so we raze it to the ground and make a better product... and they were trying to do so for last 12 years.

Messenger: Talk was their one and only working messenger. Google - it is not great, so we raze it to the ground and make a better product... and they were trying to do so for last 12 years.

Photo blog: Picasa was their one and only working photo blog. Google - it is not great, so we raze it to the ground and make a better product... and they were trying to do so for last 12 years.

New site: Reader was their one and only working news portal. Google - it is not great, so we raze it to the ground and make a better product... and they were trying to do so for last 12 years.

Casual blog: Blogger was their one and only working casual blogging site. Google - it is not great, so we raze it to the ground and make a better product... and they were trying to do so for last 12 years.

--

Google Photos is such a faceless product to the extend you get surprised time after time again to the fact of its existence when you see it popping up under different names after firmware updates.

Picasa was a photoblog, something with essence, community, and vaguely stated purpose. Photos, on the other hand... well, just a file dumpster with UI.

Re. being able to switch carriers and still communicate, what happens when you travel and (temporarily) get a local SIM? Are you suddenly messaging all your existing contacts from an unrecognized foreign number "Hi, it's John, this is my temporary Thai number..." and then relying on that message not getting binned by some spam algorithm? What prevents carriers from charging extra for RCS messages originating abroad?
I'm a bit tired of people pulling out this comic each time a new standard appears.

Whatsapp, Telegram, FB, iMessages are NOT standards. They're closed systems controlled by a single company.

XMPP is a standard from the days of ICQ, AIM, MSN, etc. Unfortunately it failed.

SMS is a standard for mobile phone text communications. It's too limited now.

RCS is the evolution of SMS.

I don't think RCS is a redundant standard, it's a necessary evolution of SMS. It's a standard for a decentralized system. I know Americans hate their carriers to the point they'd rather have everyone's data in a single SV company, but the solution is to fix your carriers. Not to give all your data to a company (Facebook) that had been proved to be less than trustable about it.
