I think you're right.

There ought to be, if there isn't already, a phase in most peoples' journey with programming where they dig into and experience the fundamentals; the maths, structures, and practical application of theoretical techniques. The reason being that you're not going to get very far in any domain if you don't know how to deal with complexity.

I think there comes a turning point when you've mastered enough of the fundamentals that domain knowledge becomes more useful. Code becomes an artifact of solving problems in your domain. If you've mastered the fundamentals the correct code (for some appropriate definition of correct) becomes easier to develop. Regardless you end up becoming more of a domain specialist and programming is just your _force amplifier_.

Though I think this can get a little dangerous with some folks who might mistake our ability to "learn as you go," as some innate ability to understand and solve problems in any domain. I think this has an effect on our industry where programmers with little experience in a domain think they can write software to solve problems in that domain and iterate until they learn that domain and voila! Disruption!

The problem with that is there are some domains that require mastery due to ethical and legal constraints. There's a reason why you don't just become a civil engineer by following some blog posts and watching Youtube videos.

Still I think that if you are going to be a civil engineer -- if you know a thing or two about programming, like knowing maths, you will be a "10x civil engineer."
One day libfoo announces a must-fix RCE bug, which started in 1.74 and is fixed in 2.11.

Quick, which containers have libfoo in them? What version? Do you have a complete build process for them, or did you download the container from somebody else? Is it a clean libfoo, or did somebody clone it into their own tree and has later made modifications to it?

And that's really quite "annoying" from the sysadmin perspective, which makes it annoying from the devops perspective, which should make it annoying from your whole IT infrastructure perspective.

I think a hybrid approach works the best: purely remote company with small offices in some big cities, where people can go if they want to. What I've seen with that is some people go almost every day, while some only come in about once a week or so, but nobody has chosen not to come in at all. It's also common among purely remote companies to host an annual or even biannual meetup.
It's advertising misleadingly pretending to be not-advertising.

That's partly true, but depends on the particular program. There are Ruby programs that could be compiled ahead-of-time quite efficiently, despite their dynamic features.

The slow-path version of the code that violates runtime assumptions can still be compiled as an alternative variant - so instead of switching from fast compiled code to the interpreter, the code violating the assumptions can switch to slow-path compiled code.

Distraction workers like managers measure productivity in issues handled and amount of talking. By definition they don't do things, things don't get done. This is maximized in an open office.

Knowledge workers like devs (mostly) measure productivity by things getting done. Usually things getting done involves one individual passing unit tests and committing the corresponding working code, not turning every minor issue into a massive teambuilding exercise of endless talking and no doing. This kind of productivity is minimized in an open office.

Its a classic talk about it vs do something about it argument. Both extremes are pretty bad, unfortunately at this moment in the industry we're at one extreme swing of the pendulum.

"What you describe Tokyo as, 4-5 story buildings, IS tall by local Bay Area standards."

Entirely depends on the neighborhood. In Palo Alto, yes, they're going to be horrified by 5-story construction. In Oakland, not so much.

The "delusional" part of said comment was the characterization of Tokyo as a place where all of the buildings are tall. In fact, take a train a couple of stops outside the Yamanote line, and you'll likely find yourself standing in the middle of a community of detached, 1-2 story homes that would evoke large parts of the bay area. Tokyo is not especially dense, or tall. Tokyo simply sprawls, and most people on HN have never been outside of Shinjuku enough to know the difference.

Don't believe me? I dropped a pin at random in an area of Tokyo about 10 minutes west of Shinjuku by train: https://goo.gl/maps/6vXn2KqUK4P2

I'm not cherry picking. This is what Tokyo actually looks like, when you get out of the business/tourist districts.

"Do you think he didn't want this? Did you think that it wasn't an honest attempt? He sacrificed a ton to rounds of amendments, and it was still a close committee vote."

Sacrificed? LOL. He threw a half-baked bill over the fence. In exchange, he got his name in the press for months, and convinced a bunch of his (more credulous) voters that he's an effective politician. This was pure political upside for him, and "amendments" don't even factor into it. Read his public comments; he all but admits that the bill never had a chance of passing.
While Huawei is probably indirectly controlled and owned by the PLA, many Chinese companies are not owned by the state, like Tencent.

Ask HN: Is job transition from a technical/team lead to developer a bad move?
I'm currently a technical lead for a team of 5 engineers. Due to job stability and lack of the ability to "move up" in any way at my current place of employment I've been looking at jobs elsewhere.

Recently got an offer that is fairly lateral. They offered a signing bonus to try and offset the inability to do much with the salary offered.

The pros of this place is that it is possible to move up in the organization and the benefits are similar to my current. Also the potential to work on more interesting projects exist, while where I currently am is fairly stagnant.

The cons in my mind are going from team lead to developer, and the move feeling lateral.

Any advice would be appreciated.

>Which do work, sandbox evasion zero days have become very rare and remote execution has largely ceased to be an infection vector against the masses.

I consider that the widespread fingerprinting and user tracking is a form of sandbox evasion but I agree that it goes way beyond JS. The only identifying info that ought to be sent to some website by default is your IP address since it's necessary to actually send you back the data. Having the size of my view port, the version of my browser and OS, the type of video codecs I support and other shenanigans shouldn't leave my browser without my consent. The problem is that I can easily spoof most of my browser's info but JS makes it almost impossible to sanitize everything.

>The problem with 3rd party tracking is not technological, the web was deliberately engineered to work in this manner. The browsers work exactly as specified, and that specification is the problem

How is that not a complete contradiction? I'm not saying it's a bug, I know very well it's just a huge dump of features that keeps pouring in year after year. I'm just saying that web standards are the embodiment of "we were so preoccupied with whether or not we could that we didn't stop to think if we should".

IMO there are broadly two different use cases for the web currently: Web applications like Google Docs on one hand and glorified PDF reader for mostly static content like HN, internet forums, news websites, Wikipedia etc... on the other. Web Apps are the part that require this ridiculous complexity to expose rich content. That's the stuff you'd use Java applets, XUL, Flash or ActiveX for in the past. Those apps could be whitelisted on a site-by-site basis in the same way that you install an app on your smartphone for instance. You know that you expose yourself to bugs and privacy leakages but you know what you're in for.

99% of the websites I browse everyday don't expose any functionality that ought to require any form of interactive scripting or advanced features beyond displaying text and images (and maybe video). Yet my browser will gladly let them access all these advanced APIs by default, load custom fonts, let them run code on my GPU, make 3rd party requests, mine cryptocurrencies... That's just ridiculous.

The safest code is code that doesn't run.

I know there are efficiency tips here, but the "one hour" thing seems like click bate. For example, it says writing topics should be limited to topics you already know or have been studying recently to limit research time. Well, that seems like something that requires prerequisite expertise. So it's not really so much you're limiting your research time, as you're overlapping blog writing with your regular work.

Again, the article has generally good advice, but there's no secrets here to make someone a master blogger. It's going to require the same thought, hustle, and persistence as anything else.

If it's the case that by not going after the user of JavaScript, they would be putting their Java trademark in peril, then perhaps a solution would be for oracle to put out a notice putting the term JavaScript under a creative commons commerical non-attribution license.
