The Challenge of Cross-Language Interoperability (2013)
Why would someone pay you to write an assignment for them if the outcome of you writing the paper is so unknowable?
Scriptures are, of course, open to interpretation, but I think 322 and 323 indicate that the passage is about taming/taking control of your mind/perception and subsequent actions.
> The outcomes are both unknowable and in most cases impossible to tie to my act directly

You breached academic code and, if money was exchanged, potentially the law. Given you wrote the paper and received the money, the act is quite simple to tie to you.
makes sense, wondering why it took so long to roll out this feature, isn't this one of the original uses that Zuck had in mind when he created Facebook?
The sophistication of the compiler does not mean the language is high level.

The meaning of a high level language is to do with abstraction away from the hardware. C programmers often wince at languages that are highly abstracted away from the hardware. But those are what are "high level" languages. Especially languages that remove more and more of the mechanical bookkeeping of computation. Such as garbage collection (aka automatic memory management). Strong typing or automatic typing. Dynamic arrays and other collection structures. Unlimited length integers and possibly even big-decimal numbers of unlimited precision in principle. Symbols. Pattern matching. Lambda functions. Closures. Immutable data. Object programming. Functional programming. And more.

By comparison C looks pretty low level.

Now I'm not knocking C. If there were a perfect language, everyone would already be using it. Consider the Functional vs Object debate. (Or vi vs emacs, tabs vs spaces, etc) But all these languages have a place, or they would not have a widespread following. They all must be doing something right for some type of problem.

C is a low level language. And there is NOTHING wrong with that! It can be something to be proud of!
I'm assuming I will see a lot more posts from old high school friends who I don't really interact with anymore. It would be a fun experiment to try though.
Rationalization? No. There's no rationalization going on in my head. I just don't care.

But if people are going to argue about it? Sure, I'll raise a counterpoint.
> futuristic inside-out tracking technology, which lets users walk around rooms with no external cameras.

Perpetuating the myth that 6DOF head tracking is for "walking around the room".

It's not. Even small head movements reveal parallax and without that VR isn't anywhere near as convincing an illusion.

6DOF is pretty much a base requirement for immersive VR.

Ithaca Hours
Talking of Sherlock, this has been problematic in the past but people have come up with inventive ways to get around it. For example, Maurice Leblanc wrote a set of stories about a “gentleman-thief” named Arsène Lupin[1] (you may have seen a Miyazaki film of the same name starring the character’s grandson). The last story in the first compilation co-starred Sherlock Holmes, much to Conan Doyle’s consternation, and he threatened legal action if it happened again. Leblanc’s cunning workaround was to title his next collection of Lupin stories Arsène Lupin versus Herlock Sholmes[2] :)

Did you get paid for them? If yes, they had a market value. That's the most basic definition of a market--a buyer and seller negotiating and agreeing upon a price for a good or a service. "Market" doesn't mean commodity. Hopefully you weren't writing anyone's economics papers...

Watching TV on an airplane is the #1 reason I would buy a VR headset. The in-seat screen UIs are atrocious and they tend to only have ~4 or so episodes of any given show. Unfortunately, the Oculus Go's battery life is only about 2 hours according to the Ars Technica review[1]. Some planes have AC outlets, but YMMV.

Wages for men have fallen since 1973:

The fall is especially sharp if you count health care expenditures, which have risen faster than average inflation, but since that also effects women, you could remove the "men" from the first sentence.

For specific examples of industries that have suffered, consider the decline in the wages for truckers:

SEEKING WORK - Remote only

Hello! I'm primarily a back-end web developer with over ten years of professional experience (and a good deal of amateur experience before that). I've written a Drupal module in use on almost 76,000 sites as of last check. I've also done a good deal of front-end web development, so I could probably fairly call myself a full-stack web developer, but I generally prefer working on the back end.

I'm seeking remote freelance/contract work. I am US-based (Mountain time zone, currently). My rates are reasonable given my experience level and I offer discounts for payments in cryptocurrency form.

Back-end techs: PHP, Drupal 5 through Drupal 8, WordPress, MySQL, SQLite, Swift, Kitura, server administration in Linux and FreeBSD

Front-end techs: Vanilla JavaScript, jQuery, CSS, HTML5

You can find more information as well as links to my résumé and my GitHub, LinkedIn, Drupal.org, and AngelList profiles at https://albright.pro

Thanks for your consideration!
> Today, because programmers are delightfully spoiled by a wealth of nice, expressive type systems, I think they won't settle for simple and sound.

To me that basically describes Go's type system. Very simple, allowing my brain to grok it, and part of what allows for Go's fast compile times. I'm not entirely sure what's meant by "sound", however. Safe? What kind of safe?

"- When you see all those couples around you and in the street, and think about "what's wrong with me?" and "why don't I have something like that?""

Unfortunately, and I count myself in this, a lot of people are unwilling to take that deep look inside to be able to answer that question.
The point is that since similar statements could be constructed about anything ("murder isn't wrong, it's the job of police to prevent me from killing people"), it's a dumb argument, regardless of how you feel about cheating or stealing.

doc.ai | Mobile engineer, Senior engineer | Palo Alto | Full Time | https://doc.ai

We are building a platform to build predictive models on top of health data. In order to do this, we are building the full ecosystem - mobile/web app for patient engagement, incentivization mechanisms via crypto, importers to bring medical data digitally, developer ecosystem to allow open source contributions to add new importers, data anonymizations for secure sharing, and finally a machine learning platform for data scientists to build models on consumer opted in data (like Kaggle but focused on health).

We are looking for mobile engineers (with a focus on react native) and senior software engineers (nodejs/python/distributed systems) to help drive our vision.

Wait, so you put out this launch announcement telling people they can early register .app domains. It links to a bunch of partners including Google Domains, but you have no idea whether I can actually register a domain there or not? Why promise it in your launch announcement then?

While there's no denying there's a strong bias towards property owners, it doesn't have to be this way. Renters can and should vote to change policies to favor them. SF is 63% renters!

It is unfortunate that the most disenfranchised demographics are the ones least likely to vote/organize.
Correct. The Lenovo Mirage will be the first 6DOF mobile headset available outside Asia. (I believe the HTC Focus is already available in certain Asian markets)
I feel like this might need more context. If I'm on a form with multiple fields or different sections I might have different questions.

Maybe first capture focus and return questions based on last field of focus or where the user scrolled.

Maybe eventually capture focus/actions over time and return the most relevant questions based on that data.
The only restriction with .app domains is that HTTPS is enforced when connecting from a web browser. We definitely encourage you to use .app for more than mere brochureware, and of course we also encourage you to encrypt all APIs (REST or otherwise). This will be enforced by browsers if said APIs are being hit from a webpage.

This seems to be restricted to users who are not marked as married or in a relationship, which excludes a whole swathe of people who are poly or variously non-monogamous. Pretty disappointing, given this restriction isn't there on other dating services.
Using a remote desktop or VNC client through PhoneCast VR (on GearVR) works, I don't know if this Samsung app will be available on Oculus Go, and I see no Remote desktop VR apps. You might be able to stream your desktop as a video stream and use a wireless mouse and keyboard.
I have not seen a way to surround yourself with different desktops in mobile VR. That would be my goal as well. It can be done with a highres Mixed Reality headset which I also have, but they need a Windows PC. That experience is adequate. I realized that I could just as well create my ultimate setup in real life, surround myself with 6 27 inch bezel to bezel Dell screens and stand in the middle.

> When you blame a poor person for not getting a better job, you accept that while their job is necessary, whoever does it should be poor.

But is that the case? Maybe there are too many people able to do the job. Maybe they accept lower wages because it is the job they want. Maybe there are too many people who want to do the job. That doesn't mean that anyone doing the job should be poor, but it doesn't make sense to pay more for a worker of the same capacity when you can pay less. So, maybe a worker who can do job X should really work on getting a better (read: higher paying) job. Why does that translate to "anyone doing that job should be poor"?

Also, the worker is not necessarily necessary at the given job strictly speaking.

There are plenty of reasons to not do something, but really there is quite a lot of autonomy afforded to people in the US to improve their job standing... I am not against living wages as you state later in your post but that is somewhat a separate issue.
Privacy Labs|iOS Engineer|Seattle,WA|ONSITE,FULL-TIME

We believe the internet has changed because of the proliferation of cloud services that commoditize personal data. Companies masquerade "free" services in exchange for something quite valuable: collecting and storing user data like emails, contacts, purchases, travel and browsing history.

At Privacy Labs, we are building a different future. We are on the verge of a new computing revolution - one that puts the user and their data first by decentralizing the net.

The Role

We are looking for an iOS engineer who wants to make an impact in consumer privacy and security by bringing passion for the problem and expertise to the team. As a key partner in our endeavor, you will be someone with an owner's mindset; someone looking to take on everything from owning a specific feature to looking for creative ways to improve the product as a whole. This role reports directly to the CTO.

While we aren't publicly disclosing details right now, we can say that it's strategically central to the company and is going to change how we think about where we store our data and how we access it.

Interested? Apply here https://privacylabs.workable.com/jobs/626649
