We commit suicide because our parents, friends, and the community as a whole are trying to forcibly remove something that can never be wiped away, causing anxiety and fear which amplify every negative aspect of the voices/beings/visions. Suicide is never a risk for me when I have someone to talk to who will listen to me and take me seriously. It's a risk when I feel as though my existence is a mistake because almost everyone treats it as such. It's not a mistake. There's a reason why every sz person I know has a very spiritual aspect to their voices. I've accepted it and I listen, and I gain benefit, but most people with such experiences are told there is something inherently wrong with them and that their experiences are artificial. To that I say, it's no more artificial than your reality.

Read: All the icons that I'm familiar with make sense to me.

I don't mean this in jest. I feel the same way about some of the icons, and I can figure out what the rest are via tooltips, but they are sure as hell confusing if it's your first time using GMail.
This sounds super interesting. Let me read more about this. :)
>Yes, us head-in-the-clouds idealists with our pie-eyed demands that encrypted message protocols not leak the contents of our messages to anyone who can intercept them.

That's not what you're demanding. You're demanding the end to a UX. That's entirely orthogonal to security, and my whole point is that's very different from pushing people to go from an insecure version of a UX to a more secure version of a UX (or at least a strict superset of that UX). It's straight forward to argue "don't use HTTP, use HTTPS", or "don't use SMS, use {secure messenger}"[1], or "don't use POP, use POPS or IMAPS" or even "don't use an 8 character password that is the name of your dog on a website, use something random and preferably a password manager".

But that's not your argument.

1. Though again, the basic fact that I can't just tell anyone in the world, on any device at all, what {secure messenger} vs "SMS" should be is inherently suboptimal though less so.
My current resume has approximately 6 different fonts, left and right justified fields, bullet points, and tables just so it looks just good enough to get past the HR drones (many of whom are wonderful people despite being a resume gatekeeper).

It was an agonizing process, but the end result is something that recruiters recognize as being well designed. I hate having to maintain it.

That's what I mean by pretending.
Hate that. Worst is "here is my salary range, does that work for you?" and than they say "lets have you interview first, and see if it's a good fit." - after interview "our max salary for engineers is 60% of your current pay and our benefits suck - but we have free soda and chips!"... thanks for wasting my time.

> Most electric batteries can accept much more current than commercial electricity drops can provide.

Current or voltage? I thought Telsa Superchargers use higher voltage to charge quicker. More "pressure" (voltage) versus more flow (current).
So does the check mark next to the item mean it is legit and the others have fake reviews or the opposite?
That's super ridiculous. You wouldn't want to use a decentralized social platform in a production environment that's only got 5 weeks of development work in it.

As an aside, do the submissions have to use the Blockchain? There are already a ton of good decentralized social platforms that make no use of a blockchain whatsoever, and the majority of them inter-federate with one another.

Science and Math Backing YAGNI?
I'm not a YAGNI purist, for experienced people can forecast certain events fairly reliably. However, I've recently bumped heads with a relatively young anti-YAGNI head architect: he is a feature & buzzword pack-rat.

I wonder if there is any strong science or math behind YAGNI, or at least some degree of it. Simple logic would dictate a linear relationship: that, for example, one devote about 50% of code to something that has a 50% chance of happening, compared to the total code if it were 100% (a requirement). But my experience tells me to devote more like 3%: light preparations. (A YAGNI purist would say 0%.) I would like to give a better case than mere experience.
When you have two 'file monitoring' apps accessing each other's scan space, they can interpret each other's access as edits and go into a CPU loop. Dropbox and any other sync client will do this.

I generally look at AV as effectively useless and badly made, your system will speed up a lot in general (independent of dropbox) if you stop using it.

> Some third-party apps access files in your Dropbox folder. Dropbox may interpret this access as edits to the files, and sync these perceived changes. If a third-party app continually requests access to your files, Dropbox will continue to sync, which will in turn lead to high CPU usage.

> This loop usually occurs with third-party syncing apps, backup apps, and anti-virus or security software, or when a third-party app is installed within the Dropbox folder.

Private Messaging Platforms for Confidential Communication
>It makes it look that this wasn't disclosed responsibly.

Not sure how anyone could say if the disclosure was or was not responsible based on who got advanced warning. Full-disclosure, i.e. all details without any prior warning, can be responsible disclosure. Coordinated disclosure, i.e. providing advanced warning, can be less responsible than full disclosure. It depends on the circumstances and surrounding context.

This was in 1944. Remember that definitely in 1941 (and perhaps even later), there was the very real possibility that Britain would fall to Germany. "Not in Britain" had some very recent and very serious grounds.

And that applied to the knowledge as well. If Britain fell and the information on building a bomb fell into German hands, that was much worse than just Britain falling.
> not leak the contents of our messages to anyone who can intercept them

There is https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-brown-pgp-pfs-03 but to be honest forward secrecy in general does not make much sense in the context of email or backups.
As someone who has done a lot of hiring, I've observed a strong correlation between spelling/grammar and the best programmers I've worked with. Details matter, and by failing to even read over your own submission you're showing you don't care about such details. Your commit messages and code isn't likely to impress anyone either.

Being able to write really well can also make you stand out and do wonders for your career, especially if everyone else on the team is likewise a high performer (Jeff Dean style). The best people I've worked with have also all been really nice and kind to a fault.

In a possible last gasp of British snobbery, the maps between 1945 - 1975 include a prominent label for the (British) Tanglin Club off Orchard Road - but not the American Club directly across the street, even though it was founded in 1948...
Yes. One of the things that's different is that there's now https://www.commonapp.org/ which says "you can apply to more than 700 colleges" using it.

To some degree, application fees (paid per college) are still a deterrent but some people qualify for free application fees. There was an article about a young woman who was accepted at more than 100 colleges. http://www.ibtimes.com/teen-gets-accepted-more-100-colleges-...

Applying to X more colleges at $50 or $75 each where one of them may offer 10% or 20% more in aid makes for an interesting decision.

Yeah, where I am now has after-work drinks on Thursdays and I really like it. We chat, play some video games (we make them so it makes sense), have a beer or two - it's good.

But I would not be shocked if at least some of the people who I know never come do so because there's a not small percentage of the population for whom being around alcohol is incredibly challenging. I'm like that with food - and truth be told, on those Thursdays I tend to eat too much. But eating too much doesn't have the same impact professionally as getting drunk (it's still not great, though).

That's still a lot of DCFC(~20k miles based on 0.33kwH/mi) and even then it's limited down to 90kW from 120kW.

FWIW you only see 120kW on the first ~35% of the pack and quickly tapers down to sub 100kW after that approaching home charging speeds for the last 80-100%.
I think it could be useful in congested cities with lots of stop and go driving. If there were magnetic flywheels in the street that mated with magnetic flywheels in the vehicle, energy could be transferred at stop lights. Provided the field didn't move the whole car, and if gyroscopic forces were mitigated, as another poster pointed out

It's like saying that the future is exactly like the past. (Which is true when applied to the question of non-existence, because what did not exist will cease to exist or continue to be non-existent.)
No.

Flywheels are useful when you have a fixed installation with no weight constraints because you get certain benefits over LiPo cells, namely longevity. As a matter of energy density though, they are awful compared to LiPo and could never efficiently be used in a vehicle. Also, the gyroscopic forces would be such that it would be impossible to steer the vehicle.
I once had a co-worker who was more senior than me on our project (the business lead (I was software lead)) tell me that I was needed in a "very important meeting" during lunch the next day.

Unfortunately, I had plans to meet with a friend for lunch - and that friend was moving away the following afternoon. When I told my coworker that I was not going to attend the meeting during that time under any circumstances he lost his shit ...and I calmly and sternly told him he can take it up with my boss.

I walked away from that conversation thinking "well shit, it was fun while it lasted", Surprisingly my co-worker cooled down, dealt with the meeting situation, and never said a word to my boss. To boot, he _never_ lost his shit like that with me again and we've had a pretty good friendship ever since.
Any idea where to get said review?

I think this article misses a couple important points when it comes to UI AND UX.

I'd argue that an important element of UI is discoverability. Yes, a "A box with downward arrow" is not in and of itself enlightening about what it does. By looking at that icon I am not sure what it does. However, I can discover what it does in very few actions. Clicking on it results in selecting all the emails on the page, and the box changes to checked. Clicking the down icon results in a selection menu with "All", "None", "Read", "Unread" and "Starred"[0]. Clicking on one of those items selects only those items. Given that interaction, can anyone here say they still don't understand what it does? My one criticism is that selecting something like "stared" doesn't filter down to only those items too, so you can now select things that aren't on the page of items you're currently seeing.

Apple's original iOS did not convey a sense of "immediate understanding" that this article demands, but rather focused on discoverability. That is the same mentality that went into make this UI/UX. My point is you can't judge one without the other. Removing all animations from the original iOS would have come close to ruining it. Showing a picture of a Google UI, and criticizing it without allowing it the benefit of discoverability is tantamount to the same lack of context as removing those animations.

Also, following this posts advice:

> Luckily, this menu can be switched to text labels in Settings.

And changing to text button labels[1] doesn't even change that first icon[2], so I'm not sure that post is really for any other purpose than creating material for some echo chamber.

There is a god somewhere, dispensing Cosmic Karma as deserved.

Yesterday I posted in the original thread:

The Java SimpleDateFormat has a similar gotcha concerning %k vs %h

Today one of my self-written utilities crashes in a weird way. Hacky as it was, it did its job nicely for over two months. Half an hour troubleshooting later it turns out the DATE FORMAT STRING is WRONG. Really. I kid you not. Neither %k nor %h turns out to be right, this specific program has a 1/86400 chance of absolutely requiring %H .

Then again, the standard format strings would not have helped here, I need to match the undocumented behavior of an existing program. And it only crashes when someone inputs something at exactly 00:00:00 and so far no bleary eyed user had to burn the midnight oil.

It is in test for now. In 8 days, this baby aids the data migration to production. This bug would have aborted the launch of a program which has to be released before the GDPR awakens. Very close call.

There is a lesson about hubris somewhere in here.
At least in the browser I can hover and see some help text. On mobile it's a shot in the dark.

The article was talking about folks who are far too poor to afford a few hundred dollars to drop on glasses.
Here is what I love to see:

1. An understanding of the fields of work and of their evolution. Don't look for candidates based on languages and libraries -- those might be OK to get an initial shortlist, but:

a) Any programmer past junior level should be able to pick up a library (from a field he understands) in ~1 week and become minimally productive with a language in 2-3 weeks.

b) It's the idioms of each field that are difficult to teach, not the tech tools. Someone who did Java ME programming back in 2003 is probably better suited for an embedded software engineering position than someone who has 5 years of writing C++ code in the banking industry.

2. Erring on the side of inclusiveness. If you have doubts about whether I should see a candidate or not, send me the resume and we'll figure it out.

3. Valuing listening over "established patterns". Case in point: short job tenures. I've given favourable feedback for kids who, early in their careers, hand changed two or three jobs in a row. They were brilliant programmers who ended up in large companies, where managers many layers above them assigned them tasks way below their skill level, based on their title of "Junior Software Engineers" rather than on reading their CVs. They did the smart thing and left jobs that hampered their professional development. So far, I have not been wrong about this a single time.

That's not to say short job tenures are always something to ignore. Some people have them because they're assholes -- but okay, we won't hire them because they're assholes, not because they spent less than an year in two places.

4. Valuing honesty over "right" answers. I know people who left their jobs because their boss was a dick, HR wouldn't handle it, their boss's boss was an even bigger dick and they had no access to that boss's boss. These people should be able to say why they're leaving their jobs, not invent reasons about company culture and looking for new challenges and self-deprecating comments about how they just don't think they belong in that team.

5. Appreciating competence, thoroughness and professionalism, not things like enthusiasm. Some of the best engineers I know work on a strictly 9-5 basis and go home to their kids and don't touch computers by choice because their kids are the world to them. Professionalism and competence are hard to fake. Enthusiasm isn't.

If you want to appreciate enthusiasm, take real, falsifiable cues. Don't look for broad smiles and "I'm so super enthusiastic about <this company culture item>". For example, look for relevant hobbies, like ham radio or restoring old computers. Any idiot can fake being enthusiastic about programming in an interview, but faking it by writing m68k on a Friday evening for fun is above and beyond what most people would do in order to look like they love their profession.

Except that the raw "information" taught in colleges doesn't represent enough value to even show up as a line item in a cost breakdown.
