I work in the realm of public art projects and thus have collaborated with a lot of artists, mostly painters and sculpters. I must say the success of any piece of artwork - especially the ones created with the public in mind - is not the work of a single man or woman, but the result of the collaboration of a team of professionals - designers, marketers, financiers, metal bashers, crane operators, all the way down to the assistant who helped review the contracts.

So a deal is a deal, if one agrees to the terms of a deal (oral or written), it must be honoured, otherwise there will be no collaboration. Imagine the marketer who helped putting the project on every headline turns around to ask for an extra cut of the success? Not possible, but he/she can certainly charge a higher fee for the next project.

Nowadays artists are much more educated about the value of copyright and we as art consultants/project coordinators help intermediate how deals are structured, so the value of the artist's work is properly recognised and rewarded.

As others have commented, success builds upon success, one must be able to see the bigger picture to be successful in any career pursued.
> But imagine Zuckerberg had hired you to code the first version of his site, paid you a few thousand bucks, and then he went on to be one of the richest men in America?

So? I agreed to be paid a few thousand bucks for a few hours of work. Why does he owe me anything other than what we agreed on?
That is really interesting. I searched for something like this a couple of weeks ago, but wasn't successful.
So don't sell any books until I have a best seller?
> But imagine Zuckerberg had hired you to code the first version of his site, paid you a few thousand bucks, and then he went on to be one of the richest men in America?

Would you be willing to give the lion's share of the money you were paid to code it back if the site flopped?

> We here in SV have evolved a culture and a set of business practices that do a much better job of compensating us fairly.

It'ss not culture, it's market economics.

> But we're very lucky in that people with our talents and skills are still much rarer than business types would like.

Exactly. The rarity is key here.

> There's no reason this guy shouldn't get as fair a shake as we do.

He did. Plenty of programmers do work for hire and contract work, and aren't paid in partial ownership.

If I'm a farmer, and I hire someone to work in my field, do they deserve a share of my crop just because they worked it? Does the amount I paid them, if what was agreed upon, change their rights of ownership beyond the up-front agreed upon terms?

I don't see this being any different just because it's an artistic work. There may be a disagreement on what was actually sold, the image and all future uses of it or the singular representation that was handed over, but I hardly see that as worthy of some greater discussion of work, it's worth, and how people are compensated. There are worthy discussions to be had over that, and how we deal with it as a society, but a contract dispute in a case because nobody bothered to even create a contract, such as this, seems a poor start to me.

It is the door handles I wonder about. They seem overcomplicated since they are electric servos I believe instead of typical mechanical handles.

In a complete loss of power can the doors be opened? This is unclear to me. I don't own a Tesla and am genuinely wondering.

The difference to a gas car could be that you can't get out of a Tesla if there is a fire.

I think I read in a teardown of the Model 3 that the rear door handles didn't have mechanical options as a backup for safety.

Overall I don't particularly like flashy overcomplicated things which is what these door handles seem to me. I'm curious for any rebuttal though.
It Takes Planning, Caution to Avoid Being 'It'
More amazing about the number is that there are now more people living in slavery than there were during the 'era of slavery.' And there's an extremely high chance that you're regularly consuming food that's the product of slavery. Particularly seafood and chocolate. Hershey, Mars, Nestle, Kraft, and some of the largest indirect sponsors of slavery. And then there are slave-like conditions where people's iPhones are assembled in factors by people making next to nothing living in on-site dormitories surrounded by suicide nets. Like many things today, I think the real moral is that people have just become better at managing their image and public relations.

And similarly the only reason I post this is because I think people are mostly ignorant of the past and present. We often view history like a Hollywood movie with good guys, bad guys, and a happy ending. Reality is rarely so kind.

> If I know I'm only going to pass ducks, and the software is quick and dirty and non-critical enough that it doesn't matter if I accidentally pass it a goose, then I don't want to have a general contractor standing next to me developing saying "make sure that's a duck!"

There is no situation that is so "quick and dirty and non-critical" that you would want an invalid function invocation that could never, ever possibly succeed.

Again, if you just want a dummy call while you're refactoring so that things compile, pass in nulls in those parameters. But there is literally no reason to ever pass totally invalid but real data to a function.

I'm literally at a loss for any situation where you would ever pass an apple to a function that expects a duck, and think that's not just a valid construct, but a positive one that a language should encourage. It just boggles the mind how stupid that is.

Guess people just hate nulls that much, even as a parameter to a dummy stub, that they're willing to give away type safety.

If you really, really, really want to do a construct like that in a typed language, you can always just do "myFunc((Duck) myApple)" to pass the apple as an instance of type Duck, but if a duck is not an apple then that's guaranteed to fail at runtime, just like in the dynamically typed language (because dynamic typing is not magic).
> New Reddit looks like a Facebook feed and much less content shows on one screen than before. There is a ton of wasted space on screen for no reason.

New reddit provides 3 different modes for the content. The compact view shows 2 more posts than old reddit, and the 'classic' mode shows 2 less.
The problem with nuclear power is not the techniques. The problem is the human part. At some point, some director of manager wants to save money, which can often be at the expense of safety. If you look at all indicents in nuclear reactor, one of the causes is often not having the money or the desire to safe some money.

Nuclear power is not a toy, and every expense should be made so that it is safe. You can't always prevent evidence, but with something so risky as nuclear power, having an indicent where money is (one of) the causes is just really stupid.
Interesting. I write TypeScript in PyCharm and I get feedback as soon as I write (PyCharm performs save automatically). I don't know how they implemented it that it's so fast.
Malaysia is also heavily involved in seafood slavery.

That case was made particularly egregious when the last administration wanted to get the TPP trade agreement passed. Malaysia's rating, on human trafficking and slavery, was upgraded exclusively to allow them to participate even though they had made absolutely no progress on the issue whatsoever.
Microsoft will leverage its business relations to take high paying AWS customers and leave AWS to fight Google for small startups' business.

There is this interesting paper that evaluates role of luck and talent in outcome.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.07068

" The largely dominant meritocratic paradigm of highly competitive Western cultures is rooted on the belief that success is due mainly, if not exclusively, to personal qualities such as talent, intelligence, skills, efforts or risk taking. Sometimes, we are willing to admit that a certain degree of luck could also play a role in achieving significant material success. But, as a matter of fact, it is rather common to underestimate the importance of external forces in individual successful stories. It is very well known that intelligence or talent exhibit a Gaussian distribution among the population, whereas the distribution of wealth - considered a proxy of success - follows typically a power law (Pareto law). Such a discrepancy between a Normal distribution of inputs, with a typical scale, and the scale invariant distribution of outputs, suggests that some hidden ingredient is at work behind the scenes. In this paper, with the help of a very simple agent-based model, we suggest that such an ingredient is just randomness. In particular, we show that, if it is true that some degree of talent is necessary to be successful in life, almost never the most talented people reach the highest peaks of success, being overtaken by mediocre but sensibly luckier individuals. As to our knowledge, this counterintuitive result - although implicitly suggested between the lines in a vast literature - is quantified here for the first time. It sheds new light on the effectiveness of assessing merit on the basis of the reached level of success and underlines the risks of distributing excessive honors or resources to people who, at the end of the day, could have been simply luckier than others. With the help of this model, several policy hypotheses are also addressed and compared to show the most efficient strategies for public funding of research in order to improve meritocracy, diversity and innovation."
Not necessarily. At least for writing gigs my wife has done, often they involve assigning all rights but not ownership to the client. This is spelled out in the contract, I imagine to avoid controversy over whether there was "work for hire" or not. On the other hand, every dev job I've taken has had me sign a thing saying that the work I do is work for hire and the employer owns the copyright. Seems fair, they're giving me a paycheck after all.
Your classification is based on a trivial expression involving primitive types. What would most Python code do if one tried to append a SQL query to a filepath? Since both will likely be represented by strings, it will return garbage, "weak" in your definition. Whether it crashes or not in any particular implementation is not a feature of the language.
"My family fled a decaying crime filled city to the suburbs."

Your family fled the huge crime wave committed by blacks in the cities in the 60s-70s. If blacks had not been brought over to the US in the first place, your family would not have to flee.

That's why it was called 'white flight' - it was whites fleeing rampant black crime.

If you view the "Athenian" version of democracy as the purest form, career politicians (aka, the political class), should not exist. But in theory, it did exists in antique Greece and even more so later in the Roman Republic.

Career politicians create the "political class" which eventually over time becomes a corrupted class.

What the OP meant, is that a country is best served by normal citizens, or specialist (in their industry), helping out, getting elected, serving their term, and moving on with their private lifes, then people that pursue politics for the politics sake. They will/tend to create dramma, even when it is not there.

"Political class, or political elite is a concept in comparative political science originally developed by Italian political theorist theory of Gaetano Mosca (1858–1941). ... Elected legislatures may become dominated by subject-matter specialists, aided by permanent staffs, who become a political class."

C++ has been replacing the low level kernel code since Windows 8, little by little.

And UWP, written in a mix of C++ and .NET Native is the future of the Windows desktop applications, even if it takes the next couple of years to eventually get there. All new APIs are UWP based.

This week's BUILD 2018 has proven that they are still on that direction, one day Win32 will join Win16.

And in Azure, well the underlying OS doesn't really matter for most languages with rich runtimes.

As for your remark regarding apps, there I fully agree.

C++ has been pushed down the stack, left for GPGPU shaders and low level OS features, with Microsoft being the only exception of having tooling parity with the other languages on their OS SDK.

Here Apple and Google have C++ on a little box bounded by Objective-C++ and JNI.

And on UWP, even if many high performance components are written in C++, most teams just use .NET Native.
It depends on the situation. I ran for public office once, and I did very little "preparation" per-se for my campaign appearances (including one televised debate) and I never used any slides or presentation materials. I felt like I knew my principles and as long as I had the broad brush strokes of what I wanted to talk about in mind, I could always construct a reasonable discussion about the topic(s) from those principles.

OTOH, I've done a number of talks at various user group meetings, and conferences like All Things Open, and I prepare for those a little different. I try to be very prepared, and I do use slides (and/or code) but I still don't try to prepare a "word for word" speech or slide deck. I make slides that have bullets that I treat as "remind me what to talk about next" and maybe include expansions of acronyms and some links that people will find useful afterwards. But even then I try to make it so that the majority of the words coming out of my mouth are generated on the spot.

I was taught a long time ago "don't read the slides to the audience" and while I don't always adhere to that 100%, I really do try to just use the slides to control sequencing and to jog my memory about key points. I just need to know the material so well that I can talk about it in depth, with only the high points put up on the slides. I don't always achieve that goal, but I always feel comfortable during my talks, especially by about 45 seconds in, once I'm in the flow of things and any "nerves" have settled down.

The last thing I might add is this: if you do "go blank" or have any kind of gaffe, it's OK. Everybody has those sometimes. My advice is to just own the moment and don't get to wrapped up in it. If you lose your train of thought, just say "Oh. Well, guys, I just totally lost my train of thought there. Give me a sec". If you're comfortable cracking jokes in front of a crowd, feel free to make a joke of some sort. But if you're not, don't worry about that. Otherwise that itself might come off as very artificial and forced. Anyway, if the thought doesn't come back to you after a brief pause, just say "OK, forget that, let's just move on to ..." and launch into something else.

You might also find practicing improv comedy to be valuable. I did one improv class and think it was a very good thing. I just wish I had time to go back and do more of it.

The idea is that you can reset just the config bits. So the bits that keep the JTAG/SWD/ICSP from reading out the flash.

So imagine your flash is over here, and your SRAM is over here, and over on this other side is the SFRs and inside those are bits that once set disable the debug interface. Reset just those and you can dump the firmware.

I'm glad to see more mind-share for static type checking in the Python community. At the moment, types aren't as popular in the Python world as they are in the JavaScript world where you can find TypeScript type definitions for most libraries.

I hope adding types to your library becomes the norm in Python as well, because as it stands, very few Python libraries have types defined. This means you can only have type guarantees in the code you write and not in that of your dependencies.

When faced with the alternative of loosing the entire database [1], loosing 410 transactions is usually preferable.

Per second granularity gives you ability to restore as close to the fatal mistake (or poison pill transaction) as possible.

After that, recovering transactions lost by the rewind can be really tricky (but not impossible). If the entire database got dropped, for example, it’s possible for the unwound writes to contain conflicting IDs.

First, install eslint. Then you probably want to add a plugin to your editor that shows it as you're working in your code. All the popular editors have plugins for this, have a look.

Then you need to set a config for your project, typically through a .eslintrc.js file in the root of your project. There you specify the airbnb config.

Keep in mind, if you do not use JSX you will want the airbnb base config.

That's why you'd only get a little bit of the money, rather than half. But it still makes a lot more sense than 0%

If each unit of crop takes one hour of labor, and you sell it for $2000, you're a terrible person if you still pay minimum wage.
This has to stop.

It's been going on way too long. I think about it every time I see a cop.

It's 10x worse than when I was growing up because municipalities realized no one was keeping track of the amounts of the fees/fines, and they just raised them.

Along with making everything against some law?

I really think the only way to stop it is to tie Fees/fines to income.
> Python is never the best language at anything. But it's a damn good language at most things. It's an invaluable powerful versatile toolbox because it gives you the margin to adopt the style that fits your problem instead of forcing one on you.

This is meaningless bullshit. I could say the same thing about Java - tons of battle-tested high-level libraries, and a variety of frontends that all compile onto the same runtime. Just like Python, you can write imperative or functionally, and have your choice of working in a hand-holding high-level framework or down close to the API.

It's a programming language, if it's not a powerful+versatile toolbox it's doing something wrong. Now, if we look at the cases where a programming language is obviously not fit-for-purpose, the common thread is the inability to scale to larger codebases without the programmer effort becoming exponential.

And that's where Python fails, because it's missing a critical piece of the toolbox - type checking. It makes maintaining code vastly more difficult, because you don't have any compile-time checking about how your code is being used. That makes it brittle and difficult to refactor.

> It also has the benefit of not getting out of fashion precisely because of that.

PHP also never goes out of style. Should we all be taking cues for language design from PHP?

I don't think Python is that bad. I write Python code when it's appropriate. But it's not the language I'd choose to write a large, long-lasting codebase in, either.
