There's probably people more qualified than I am that can respond, but I have heard a lot of recommendations for and enjoyed https://stronglifts.com/5x5/

Note: I see Starting Strength recommended here too, which I've also heard good things about from my experienced weightlifting friends. I think they're very similar programs, and that book has a lot of good detail on technique.
It is ironic, but there are still a couple of member states that rely on English. I think it's unlikely to be deprecated. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_of_Brexit_on_the_Euro...
There are many big and well-known software packages written in Delphi. Yet Delphi the language is not well known.

I recently read an article on Flutter comparing to native Android layouts, and thought to myself: Delphi has had a x-plat framework that does all that, and more, in less lines of code, for six years.

(*) Disclaimer: I work for the company that makes Delphi. I do that because I think it and its sister C++Builder are great products and want to see it better-known.

I’ve only ever seen inheritance make sense in UI toolkits. That’s literally it.

It’s like if someone took the cascading idea of CSS and decided “this works so well for UI styling, let’s build a language paradigm out of it and convince people they need to express every problem in terms of it.”
I have to be honest with you: I love the idea in theory and I'm glad it works out for people, but no place I have ever worked measured anything in terms of tickets closed, or any other objective measurements of productivity unrelated to "perceived time at the office" mainly because managers are lazy, I suppose. Again, it's great that you've worked this out.

I am desperately trying to work out something similar in my career--some kind of "happier medium" in which there is some payoff for me other than mental and physical exhaustion. But it isn't there and probably isn't going to be there. I can't negotiate "80%" time, I can't even negotiate regular jobs very well.

As of yesterday, I have pretty much resigned myself to getting out of this career completely and go do something else. It is terrifying to give up a good salary, work I have done for the last 15 years straight, and all that goes with it, just for a breath of freedom and a shot at more happiness. I know if I don't my health is going to keep suffering. Is it weird for a guy with PhD to want to be a ski lift operator or a baggage thrower at the airport when there is full employment in his chosen field? This isn't fantasy, btw--I can completely afford to walk away, but I want some non-investment income and want to pay for health insurance so as not to tap my nest egg too hard yet.
Yes, you just "know" when you've entered an unhealthy employee/employer relationship. It bleeds over into your personal life, and makes it difficult to focus on the actual work.

Exit these relationships.
Who orders cat litter from Amazon? The delivery fees on something that heavy would cost as much as the item itself! Yeah, yeah, it's heavy and you might not have a car to pick it up from the store, I get it.

But still. Knowing what we know about the amazon warehouses and how quickly the staff are forced to work, maybe it's in your best interest to be cognizant of what you're ordering and not order certain items together.
The problem is the reliance on the browser. If we look at the mobile market for one, you could do the same thing, but people still want native apps since they are more responsive, lower memory and cpu usage etc …. With web assembly all you are doing is adding more complexity. Keeping things native is preferred.
How did you get that impression. When I read this I get a completely different meaning from it. The State does not own my live or property and they are also not dictating what I can do with it. They are dictating that no one else can do what they want with MY live, property or data without my explicit consent. The state can not give consent to my data: only I can.
It's not uncommon for nefarious people to contentid swaths of music/sound effects that have been released for use on YouTube or otherwise.

Then you have to dispute it while they take the ad revenue and let the clock run out.
According to the article it was the port to Mac that made the web port possible. Once they had nice portable code paid for by the Apple porting effort they then used it for web assembly too. I really doubt that creating the portable code just for web assembly would ever have been justified.
This is easily done, you can create an index for each color or color range.

Additionally, you can mess with the typical B&W conversion weights for each channel.

However this got me thinking, what do we want when we convert an image to bw? It's a pretty hard problem, because we want both semantic segmentation and preserving lightness.
Also you clearly can't have a one-to-one mapping when you lose 2 dimensions. Of course in the case of a simple UI that's not a problem, but with photography it is.
Simple example is when German intelligence service even before the start of the war was compiling details of Polish intelligentsia, cultural, social or political elites. So when they invaded Poland they knew where to look for Poles who could be a danger to the Reich in the newly acquired territories. And they executed them. One by one to destroy national identity. Now if back then something like Facebook existed, their job would have been much easier.
This is what scares me, because when in future politicians decide that people of my views need to be "removed", that would be very easy to do. Just run a query against social media database and send kill squads.
> Today it is Amazon normalization, tomorrow ...?

Companies “firing”, both explicitly by bans and by putting them into service hell until they go away, customers that are expensive to service because their behavior is outside of what the firm is optimized around is decidedly not new or something Amazon invented.
That's why I moved to the US. If you're well educated and have good job prospects, many of the chief complaints about the US disappear. Sure, healthcare is still a huge pain in the ass, but you've got access (and ability to pay for) some of the best healthcare in the world.

One of the big drivers is if your career is something you'd like to maximize. The opportunities here are some of the best in the world as is the compensation. If I had stayed in my home country I would have had pretty limited prospects even at the top of my game.
Did you even read the post? It says he wants more Grace Hopper rather than more male role models. It's an absurd and offensive thing to say but unfortunately one which will be cheered in many echo chambers.

Practically speaking, how can anyone make more role models that satisfy some arbitrary appearance standard? The implication is that we have those role models because of their appearance and reject equally deserving ones of other appearances. Again that's absurd and offensive.
>There are still significant gaps between the browser-based version of AutoCAD and its desktop-based sibling – 3D being a prime example – but these gaps will reduce, over time. It will also be much easier for the AutoCAD team to build new features that work across the range of AutoCAD’s platforms.

They are heading into the abyss. They will never ever reach a feature and experience parity as JS and Web platform was and is perpetually flawed. And those flaws are barely of technical nature. The root cause are the people who define the "Web platform" and who they are.

Apple's former CEO was smart enough to see that through and do a hard U-turn while the company was still able to do so.
How do you make 30k/ mo profit with an app that analyze traffic ? Has the user to pay everytime he wants to do an analysis ? If you do not sell any user related data and we should believe you this, you have to tell us how you make so much money with it..
I had disabling back problems. I even had a setup where I could lay on my back and type with a monitor above me(!). I read the "The Mindbody Prescription" and it went away pretty quickly. It comes back briefly once or twice a year, but it's very minor and I have confidence it will pass. According to this book, it's not "all in your head". These are real, physical symptoms. But healing can be done mentally.
The secret of jobs is joining and targeting the right Facebook and LinkedIn groups.

Nothing about that sentence makes any sense.

Also “talents”?
no need to even buy anything. youtube and reddit have great strength training learning materials freely accessible. r/bodyweightfitness on reddit is a great place to start without even needing a gym membership
So, one of our talented employees was telling me that he asked to be switched from fulltime to parttime, the previous company let him switch but kept the compensation fulltime. He was moved remote to not cause resentment among existing employees. Guess who wants to see others leaving early that too with full compensation? New VP came and axed his position after 6 months.
Or it could be that DBAs who let the database go down get fired. I know a lot of DBAs that are old school that live in fear of any change because they get left holding the bag. They aren't special, they get blamed. It also doesn't help that a lot of new developers don't understand why "move fast, break things" is just not something any DBA of any worth is going to accept.
Europe's Tech IPO Market Better Than U.S., Skype Founder Says
I had bad RSI in 2010/2011 that I cured. Then it came back in a mild but tolerable form for several years. Last summer it exploded again, and I took steps to solve it more permanently. Here's what has worked for me:

* Highly skilled physio who did MAT. Most physios did nothing for the problem. But, I found one who had been the physio for the local pro football team. Unlike the others, he didn't use ultrasound.

* Trigger point therapy massage. Far more effective than regular massage. Hard to find a good practitioner

* Handshoe mouse. A lot of my troubles were causes by mousing or trackpads. This mouse has been astonishingly comfortable. I think it forces you to use the shoulder and have good wrist flexion

* Using the keyboard I used while recovering. I tried any number of mechanical and ergo keyboards, but then remembered that in 2011 I had comfortably types a million words while recovering. I checked and found I had used the logitech MK320. I bought it again and have been able to type more. No idea why this cheap rubber dome keyboard has been so good for me

* External monitor raised up. After recovering, I switched to a mac and used laptops. Using it as a laptop was dumb; while recovering I had an external raised up. I did this again and I think the improved neck posture helps.

I was already doing weight lifting, so the "get strong" advice you commonly see in these threads didn't apply. Though I think the problem would have been worse without it.

Also, I find mobile phone use can contribute. I hold mine with my pinky, and this leads to strain. I haven't figured out how to hold them well, because they should be up near eye level to prevent neck strain.

Can anyone tell me how to make lists that doesn't format as a code block? Double spacing seems to be the only way not to have list items all on the same line.
"We want the best talent at the best possible price"

Industrial CAD for cars and planes is CATIA, and that isn't AutoCAD. It uses too much memory to fit in a browser except as a remote desktop type application.

AutoCAD, which is architectural CAD, has been in flash (AutoCAD WS) for more than 6 years so if flash can handle it, WebAssembly can handle it.

OnShape is mechanical CAD has been pretty successful in pure JavaScript in the browser: https://onshape.com

SolidWorks is coming to the browser soon I understand as well.
I think WASM is the saving grace here, really. It would be hard to pull of a performant CAD application in JS alone, but with WASM on the rise I don't see why this couldn't work.

There was an interesting thread on this topic a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16211864
Why is pipenv the recommended packaging tool by the community and PyPA?
When I had a sit down desk, I always tried to get desks with the keyboard pull out draw.

I also much prefer having the keyboard / mouse low, but then I just adjust my chair to also match that height so my forearms rest naturally.

Funny enough that's exactly what I used to prop up my monitors too. It's so good because you can fine tune the height by just removing a chunk of sheets.

If you sit up straight, the weight should be pretty evenly distributed. It felt like floating on air.

In the end I guess that's what matters. Try to find a set up that puts absolutely no strain on your forearms, wrists and hands.

My old colleagues at a previous employer used to get hounded by Oracle sales reps. Now they're moving to Microsoft SQL Server. I wish they would've moved to Postgres, but still, getting rid of Oracle is huge progress
It depends on what you mean by "can trivially afford".

If you take it as "will they survive if they do that", then yes, it's true for the reasons you describe.

If you take it as "will they consider that as a plausible option worth discussing" the answer is hell no, it would be laughed at in their board room and not even given a serious thought.

Giving up $4 or $5 billion (actually, FB European revenue was 10+ billion in 2017; giving up EU would lose all the revenue but not decrease the costs proportionally, but not that the number matters) of that is much more than a dire problem, it's a taboo situation - they'll survive if it magically happens, but nobody would even dare to be seen allowing it happen or not doing their utmost to prevent it. Even if there's absolutely no way around it, they'll go down screaming and do pretty much everything possible and impossible to avoid giving up that much money.
30k/month? That's more money than most people make in a year, 30k/month for a year is more money thank most people will ever see at once.

You were very lucky. You had a good run. You are rich.

Acting angry and entitled to more (because you need a third Tesla or what?) is hardly going to do you any favors.
I used to get RSI, then I switched to a Microsoft Natural Keyboard about a decade and a half ago (I'll be sad if this line ever goes away), and my issues went away.
At every job I've had, I find the same thing happens. I start, and have a normal keyboard. Within a few weeks the RSI is back again. I expense a Natural Keyboard, switch to it and the RSI goes away again.

This last job change was way more dramatic. They gave me a magic keyboard. Those things are a cramped, ergonomic nightmare. My RSI came back within a single day of typing on the damn thing. I had to get rid of the magic mouse for similar reasons too (arching your finger and wrist, like you need to do to tap it, is similarly bad)
Bourne Shell Macros (2008)
Pretty much all of the main routines focus around the main compound lifts which are bench press, overhead press, back squats, deadlifts, and bent over rows (or pull ups).

It kind of comes down to how much variation you want in your routine, and if you are focusing on body building or strength (or both).

Personally I started with Strong Lifts 5x5 which is a good intro. Has it's own app, easy to follow, and the guy who developed the program has a great website with video tutorials and written instructions for each lift. Personally I found it to be too much squatting (you do 5 sets of 5 squats every time you go, which adds up quick).

I then moved on to Greyskill LP, which is similar but instead of doing 5x5 for every lift you do 2 sets of 5 and then the last set until (almost) failure. I mixed in a bunch of accessories as well. Overall I felt this was yielding the same results as 5x5 but with less time spent in the gym each time. (once you start hitting the upper end of your strength, 5x5 begins to take between 1.5 - 2 hours each time when you account for warm ups and rest periods).

I have recently switched to 5/3/1 which is more for building mass than strength, and is a bit more complicated to keep track of.

reddit/r/fitness has a ton of good resources. It's easy to get lost in the weeds, but as long as you're hitting your main lifts and doing at least 3 sets of each, adding weight each time, you will make progress. Don't get too bogged down in adding accessories, as they are meant to help improve your weak areas when you get stuck on the main lifts.

I solved my problem by getting serious massage therapy. For a long time I thought I had carpal tunnel, but the real problem was super tight muscles in my back and shoulder. After one painful massage the burning, tingling and pain in my hand and wrist was gone. Outside of getting an occasional massage, the answer was a regular routing of weightlifting.

This and icons8 is getting pretty close to what I'd love to use on a regular basis. Unsplash has been great for creating a wonderful platform for truly free do what you want images. Now I'd like to see the same in audio/video. For advertising on YouTube or even actual commercials it would be nice have really affordable solution to use generic (but good!) sounding music that small businesses could use to give their ads a more polished feel. It's a big help because a lot of companies can't afford the licenses for big tracks or hire in a studio. Heck, even paying for images typically is a hard pill to swallow.

As a consumer I always appreciate seeing higher quality production regardless of the product.
An Analysis of Cloudflare's Email Address Obfuscation
My experience of eliminating RSI:

1) Consider getting a big trackball and learning to use it with your wrong hand,

2) Get a better keyboard,

3) Work slower,

4) Walk as much as you can,

5) Lose weight,

6) Manage stress.

In common with many others, I believe there's an emotional and/or stress context to pain, and you need to fight conditions such as RSI on multiple fronts.
You could easily come up with data that might be interesting to look at when discussing this question:

- are college liberals more or less likely to answer survey questions supportive of free speech than they were in the past

- has the annual rate of incidents of college activist excesses (such as violence over unwelcome speech) been increasing over time, or has the media environment just made it seem that way?

- are liberals more or less likely to support free speech than conservatives?

and so on. All we hear about is the same few anecdotes over and over again. Don't get me wrong, if there has been backsliding on support for free speech on the left than it's something I think we should be concerned about. I'm just not convinced that the panic we're seeing is justified. Certainly not when you compare this problem to the other problems we're currently facing as a society.

edit: ironic that I've found no other topic on the internet where people are more likely to downvote you without engaging in reasoned debate than on the question of whether _other people_ are willing enough to engage in reasoned debate.
Let's see... i have a FB account for keeping in touch with some non technical friends who don't know better. I am in no groups and post nothing. Filtered out?

Now about your form:

Why would I like to work at ... whatever your company was called? You offer remote (big plus) and perhaps you pay well enough. (opens the main web page) Other reasons, no - you seem to be spammers so the only reason I'd work there is money.

Coolest things you've ever done work wise? Legit ISH but you're filtering out competent people that did their job well at a boring job. Does writing a (admittedly pretty simple) kernel driver without having access to the hardware and having it work with (i think) just one modification count?

Coolest things you've done privately? None of your bussiness.

What are your prospects, dreams or expectations, career wise? No one in their right mind will answer honestly here, they will insert some canned interview lie.

The remote question is legit, but it filters out everyone who has worked in an office and got sick of it. Only people who have worked remotely can answer something meaningful here. Expect another interview lie here.

Btw my answer is "the most challenging thing is to pry out all the information you need out of people, and you need to be proactive about that".
And yet they have to sit in open offices to save $50/month by killing 50%+ of their productivity.

So he gets a cool keyboard, means 99 other employees are going to demand their cool little expense like the espresso maker or the dog walking area outside, and because its penny wise and pound foolish, the company would rather infuriate hundreds while destroying productivity, than spend 1% of their salary budget making the employees happy and productive.
JavaScript is also taking over because it's a way to deliver cross-platform GUIs painlessly. The alternatives are much slower to develop with, not necessarily that much less bloated, and have questionable future support.

Not only that but once you develop a native app you must ship a native app. Words cannot describe the pain and suffering that is shipping native code on Windows (installers) or Linux (dependency and distro hell). Mac is better due to uniformity and app bundles but if you want the App Store you have to deal with that bureaucratic nightmare, and you never know if Apple will just arbitrarily destroy your business one day.

The web just works. Things that "just work" always win over superior alternatives that have a higher level of friction. Here's a rule of thumb: every installation step roughly halves adoption. So a 5-step setup or deploy process takes the number of initial impressions and reduces adoption to (I/2^5).
