Well I was responding with a context of my comment "work remotely over living in these boxes" and had the response "I don't like working remotely"

Other comment chains (that didn't exist in the comments at the time I posted my comment!) have indeed pointed out there are other options that keep you in the London area
Yes, what you describe is the point at which abstractions meet your problem from the bottom. You're not developing solutions yourself down to level of pure physics, but that's because we have a solid abstraction layer of digital computing. Your job is to work down from the problem idea until you connect to that layer.

It still doesn't change the fact that the surface area of that layer is enormous, and so is the space between it at the bottom and your problem at the top. All the details in between is what you need to figure out.

I'm not completely sure the bottom can be qualitatively raised very far up. The digital computing abstraction is a qualitative model change, from physics to mathematics. Experience suggests that when you decompose a business problem, the lowest algorithmic details very often end up on, or slightly above, that bottom layer - so you need the ability to work on that level. Of course, if you're willing to limit your scope and problem domain, then a lot of things can be abstracted further - but they won't generalize.
It's stuff like this that may eventually convince Congress to defunitively scale back safe-harbor (for good or ill). It's one think to say "we can self regulate" but you have to, you know, self-regulate, otherwise eventually regulations will be imposed on you.

On the one hand, I don't think noname blogs should be held responsible for every single thing posted in their comments section. On the other hand, when it comes to giants like Facebook, come on. Facebook obviously doesn't take this stuff seriously and if they won't take stuff down like this without public shaming, it seems clear that they just don't care.
Thank you for raising these questions: I am concerned myself, as you seem to be.

Not intending to argue but this is analogous to defending private property (which for some religions is a moral right) in a communist country, for example.

No thanks. NPM caused the usability and feature problems first and there's no reason it won't happen again if there was no competition. Yarn is still better overall and I'm much rather they stick around.

>no attention slot machines

I lived in the time when slot machines were standing on the street in the open in Russia, and yes, mentally infirm people were wasting themselves on them. Normal people not.

It takes a particular lack of basic logical reasoning to not to understand that the the purpose of a bling bling slot machine is to waste time and money.

It takes a particular lack of basic logical reasoning to not to understand that the the purpose of 20 bling bling popups a second smartphone apps is to waste time and money and suck out clicks out of mentally infirm.

It takes no special personality to get an idea that clickfarming app must be removed, and take actions to do so.

My former high school classmate who did not manage to leave Russia is running a typical "smartphone fixer" kiosk. He said few years ago that the most common request is to "remove Google nagware and lock/destroy/delete google pay so, god forbid, your child will never ever buy anything in that Internet thing mouth breathers waste themselves on."

They can, as long as all companies inside Ireland can enjoy the same low tax. The idea from the EU taxation rules is that all companies should be able to compete under same rules and that is not possible when a country give special taxation privileges for a single company.

The reason why Ireland do not do this is that they would go bankrupt. Their budget relies on the fact that all the other companies in Irland pay the normal tax.

Building Your in House Device Farm on Mac OS Using OpenSTF for Android Testing
If might appear to me that you are down on Gorsuch because he’s a Trump appointee rather than an actual critique based on years of opinion reading. Because, if that weren’t the care, you’d be lamenting the deficient and uninspired writing of Sotomayor. Here’s an interesting analysis of her famously bad writing by none other than Mother Jones: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2009/06/sonia-sotomayor...

If we are being intellectually honest here, you are critiquing Gorsuch because you preferred that Mrs. Clinton appointed that seat instead. You aren’t actually complaining about the actual quality of the legal argument — otherwise, Sotomayor opinions would have had you worried about it not boding well, but instead, it’s a Gorsuch opinion having you worried about the caliber of legal argument?

It’s fine to be of a different view when it comes to constitutional law, but let’s not be juvenile in our analysis.

The lack of links makes me less likely to go to a newspaper article the next time. I think newspapers are missing out when compared to models like Reddit. They don't have to go full Reddit, but there is a gap in journalistic form between newspapers old-school self contained writing and a newer approach that could use an article as coverage as well as an introduction of context, then optionally leads to richer more-detailed authoritative sources. I'm much more likely to pay for the latter as a subscriber.

I'm interested to see what the final report on this program will say. My only concern with UBI programs is that if a company, landlord, etc. knows someone is receiving an additional amount of money for free each month, then they can raise their prices by that much.
This seems too little too late. Yarn is fast, stable, efficient, and (most importantly) reliable in getting things done. Doubtful anyone using yarn would switch back at this point.

When you allow "competition" between countries regarding who gets to set the lowest taxes, you end up a in a situation where there is a race to the bottom resulting in outsized benefits for a few countries. If you enforce collective bargaining you prevent that situation, and everybody does better overall.

That's the wrong question. (Hah!) A better one: What do you think about complicated, difficult questions?

Answer: apparently, not much.
This is odd because I’ve typically seen the question phrased as “What is the highest degree of education you’ve received?” if not totally resume based. What kind of places have this kind of process?

That's the kind of thing that happens when people lie. Everybody who's ever hired engineers knows from experience that a simple Fizzbuzz test is still, unfortunately, a very usable candidate filter.

Getting Started in Data Science – Part 1
The Propel app is a digital “skin” that works on top of the websites of food stamp contractors, like Conduent

This sounds a lot like scraping to me. And sure, Conduent's app came _after_ Propel, but that's what I meant. They're trying to compete with Propel using their own app, which uses the data they already have.
I've been using this for a while now.

I haven't had any social media on my phone except for aggregate websites and forums, but often I'm pointed from there to more substantial reading. I am still guilty of mindlessly thumbing through comments sometimes, though.

I have a few games and other things on there, but I haven't had a problem with getting hooked.
I made the perfect choice when starting with Android. Great job prospects, great pay, allows me to go in and out of a lot of fields.

But if I could try over, I'd focus more on small skills instead of breadth. Full stack is nice to know but ultimately not useful. Anyone can learn to program something over 3 months. That doesn't necessarily make you valuable.

What makes people valuable is being better than other people at a skillset. Like right now we really need a good AngularJS (1) programmer, but that's hard to find.

"UI/UX guys" are a dime a dozen, but what's extremely valuable are the ones who can prototype quickly, write their own CSS/HTML. These guys will be core to any group.

There will always be new, sexy tech. The hard part would be coding the algorithms. The guys who are cashing in on e-commerce know their Big O. The guys who are well paid writing code for Uber know their algorithms. The rest will change, and will either be reading documentation or copy paste.

1. Easier organization. Allows logical subnetting and more efficient routing.

2. It allows you to see subnetting. It makes managing IPv6 so much easier than IPv4.

3. It became "Internet Standard" last year, because the working group decided that it was about time to combine all the RFCs with the errata corrected in a single RFC. Just a formality.

As for traction... blame humans. If there's something better to replace the old thing, but the improvements aren't dramatic enough (e.g. saving tons of money) and the old thing still works, then a huge portion of lazy people won't switch.
> even though "closed as duplicate" is a win since it means somebody already answered your question.

That's only a win if the duplicate is real. Sometimes questions are closed when they aren't really duplicates.
For sure. I was initially attracted by the idea of living with creativea/entrepreneurs with a similar mindset.

What I found was mostly late twenties/early thirties "entrepreneurs" and "consultants" that in reality had achieved very little. To make up for their lack of achievement they adopt a holier-than-thou attitude and talk a lot about how they have escaped hamster-wheel society and are now living as nomads and free-spirits, most likely subsidised by mom and dad.

Amusing to observe but annoying to live with.
For the record I agree with you (in contrast to some of these other commenters); sex is criminally over rated. There's a reason why we have a distinction between people and animals guys (though even many animals can live a eudaimonic existence without sex, see neutered dogs).

Not true, as home prices key around monthly payment, so high rates put downward pressure on prices to keep the monthly payment relatively constant.

When long-term risk-free rates are exceptionally low, capital seeks excess return, much of which gets invested in real estate, increasing demand and prices. When the risk-free rate is 7, 8, 9% on a 10Y bond, then messy, illiquid, physical real estate is far less desirable as an investment.

The original article was about income inequality -- when average Joe can easily borrow $300k for a house, the average company can easily borrow $300 million or $3 billion to get larger, buy competitors, execute LBO's, etc... all of which consolidate power and capital among the wealthiest and ultimately reduce labor opportunities for everybody else.
Oh wow! Thank you for explaining.
I work at small companies, not because they are perfect or things are always better and easier, but because I know the things I'm responsible for and the people I'm accountable to, and the thought of being slotted into a byzantine human management framework run by small-minded rule writers fills me with Orwellian dread and disgust.

To me, no. I don't keep anything personal, or of value, in my car. There's no risk of the delivery man seeing me walking around in the buff or seeing me in an intimate moment.
Except tail-call optimization which the BDFL refuses to consider since it would break "there should be one -- and preferably only one -- obvious way to do it" regarding loops.
Indeed. Many Supreme Court upholdings are of the form "This isn't for us to decide, per separation of powers. Go bother Congress if you want this changed."
Ofcourse, and that's definitely a good case for them to fight over. However, as it stands, it's a lot like Amazon blocking scrapers from giving price recommendations.

Cookiescanner – Tool for Check the Cookie Flag in Multiple Sites
> A lot of candidates with years of real work experience simply cannot write code. How else can we find this out?

So true, sadly.
For me it's the browser. What I did yesterday on Firefox for Android:

- installed uBlock Origin (also First Party Isolation and HTTPS Everywhere),

- disabled JavaScript via about:config javascript.enabled,

- and added .css| rule to uBlock Origin (I would still like to disable CSS entirely, this only half works).

Basically I would like to have "links2 -g" [0] for Android. There is also an extension for Firefox to automatically enable reader mode [1]. It waits for additional WebExtensions API. I want to omit CSS, because of:

- too small or too big font size,

- no proper text wrapping,

- wrong contrast, too big margins,

- position:fixed bars that are so trendy right now.

Basically I want to bail out of modern web. However I would probably use modern web apps on proper browser when I want an app, but just not when I want to read some information.

I know that there are sites with good content that will be broken because of it. But it will be only a minor collateral damage.

I added to my long todo-list a modern pure HTML browser for Android and Linux. What would also help is a different search engine. Of course I also have one in my todo-list. A search engine that would _not_ index ad serving sites. Also as an option it could not show JavaScript enabled sites.

I know about Million Short, but it does not cut it.

Such a pair of a browser and a search engine is, or rather will be, my answer.

Also it's sad a smartphone with it's array of sensors is not a proper tricorder...

The problem here isn't Ireland being a tax haven, it's Ireland giving a preferential treatment to Apple, allowing them to pay less taxes than other companies in Ireland would pay in the same situation.

NumPy is designed to work with SciPy, which is a wrapper for literally the same 4 decade old Fortran libraries (LAPACK &c.) that you're referring to here.

I don't know how I feel about this. I've never liked this style of assignment in other languages. At least they're proposing `:=` as the assignment operator instead of `=` which prevents accidental assignments.

I'd rather they add multiline lambdas or inline defs in expressions.

Is there a workable solution? I don't have any experience with the French system, but between the two EU countries I know, there's no good solution, or at least none was offered by doctors on either side.
But if there's no accountability, then what's the point in publishing it?

They will execute against their published (or private) policies, and there's no external oversight or way to get them to comply with anything other than what they decide are the standards.

It's not a democratic system. It's a private, totalitarian censorship enforced by a corporation with a clear liberal-politics bias ( why? because that's where they think most of their resources are tied up -- their advertisers' liberal city-dwelling customers are wealthier and thus more important than conservative, poorer country folk, and their worker drones -- mostly Cali based -- so FB staff will be predominantly liberal. )
> Why on earth would they not use their own platform to present their content?

I know one of them personally, and I think in her case, she may have had a few hundred people following her art blog, while on Instagram, she quickly amassed over 100,000 followers, so when she stopped updating the blog, she lost less than 1% of her fans.

It comes down to people knowing how to follow Instagram/Facebook accounts, while they haven't even heard of RSS.
Number 2: No One Believes Anyone Can Actually Code

It's surprising to see the number of people who interview for lead technical roles that cannot code, or whose work is exceptionally sloppy. Incompetence is more commonplace than the author believes, even at the highest level.
Ditto - lack of primary sourcing has led me to seek out new outlets in a couple instances, and I haven't looked back.

Don't know how long they've been doing this, but I noticed recently that the Washington Post is linking to primary sources, and the NYT seems to do it sometimes but not others. So at least some of the big ones are doing better.
Ask anything optimization or performance related and you get a string of "premature optimization", "let the compiler to it", or "use this library" comments.

One of SO's biggest problems is the mod thinking they know better than the people asking and over-aggressively closing things down.

And given a number of ways to ask the same question, they will often get closed down in not in the exact right form:

- How do I do X in my programming language?
- Is there a library to do X in my programming language?
- What is the best library to do X in my programming language?

While the three questions are slightly different, they will result in about the same answers. I see no reason to close any of them down since they all imply each other.

Or the huge issues with decade old answers still coming up when they no longer apply to recent software versions.

Once seeing an interesting Java question answered by Gosling himself, I made a suggestion on Meta to highlight answers by notable people. I thought it would be very interesting. Wow! Was ever a bad idea. Meta is even worse and nastier than SO regular. It seemed like the mods were fighting to be the biggest on the site and didn't want anybody to outshine them.

Joel doesn't seem to want to understand the SO has large problems for many user types, and it needs more than just a little lipstick.

Get a fitness band/notification band/pebble and disable biometric authentication.
When I would get a notification, I opened it, went to the homescreen and start browsing the news or the damn Kindle app. Having a smartwatch enabled me to dismiss notifications from my wrist and respond to messages.
The fingerprint scanner is for me a very obvious attack vector so I disable it and use a long password. This means I use the phone if I absolutely have to.
When I was younger and didn't have a phone I had a book, and I was always reading. This is now the phone, its not that the phone has made me have less time, I didn't have any to begin with.

Lending out houses.. Explain. I'm intrigued. My long term goal (we're not counting my husband here) is to buy a townhouse, live in it for a few years, then rent it out and buy a free standing house - with a backyard! Now we'll have two or more rental properties in competitive markets hopefully bringing in some income. I've been extremely lucky with the house I own now. Good tenant that I did not raise the rent on at renewal. $380 is plenty for me. She knows my goal is to protect the house, not make money off of it, so maybe I'm not the best person for an example in real estate investment.
