Im from Atlanta..head quarter of Home Depot and have a few colleagues who were long time Home Depot employees. From what I was told, after the founder retired one of the new CEO (I think they've had a few and I forget who made the decision) decided that they didn't need to pay for knowledgeable employees and instead hired regular stock person, employees, rather than those who have experience in construction world. This is why your experience there sucks now.

Go to ACE if you want someone that knows something.

Edit:It was former CEO Nardelli.

From Wikipedia "Nardelli was notably criticized for cutting back on knowledgeable full-time employees with experience in the trades and replacing them with part-time help with little relevant experience"
This Meeting Should've Been an Email
Yup. Just to get rich selling pills that barely make a difference. As someone who’s probably had a prescription for every major anti-depressant, the only difference I never noticed from taking them is that my dick didn’t work.

Not saying that depression isn’t a serious issue and that it can just be “thought away” though. But the drugs are really only helpful to some people, and there’s not much evidence to substantiate that this is just a chemical problem. There may be a chemical element, but IMO this is being exaggerated for profit. Meanwhile we aren’t dealing with any of the underlying social problems that probably play a much larger part.
General Patraeus was caught leaking through Gmail. And, amusingly, they didn’t actually send the emails, they just shared an account and wrote draft emails for the other side to read.

Granted, sharing an account with a co-writer turned out to be suspicious behavior, but apparently the government was able to get access to the draft emails that were under Google’s control (and I haven’t heard of any changes to Gmail that would make it more secure now).
AMP being marketed on "performance" was always a hook primarily to sway end-users to associate AMP with performance, build mindshare, and cut down on opt-outs, a strategy helped by the fact that every developer, publisher, and decision-maker is also implicitly an end-user.

In truth, once you peel away layers of marketing, AMP's purpose becomes clear [1] as an answer to Facebook's Instant Articles, which tries to chart a have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too course for Google to build consensus around lightweight payloads on the wild [2], open web, while morphing more and more of their products [3][4] to serve as windows to others' content.

It is useful for them to position it as a publishing platform, in a sense, because it furthers the ecosystem they're trying to encourage.

>> no way to put a number on how much you want something

> Counter-example: I do it all the time.

No you don't. I mean, sure you can pull numbers out of your ass and pretend to calculate something based on them.

Or you can even explicitly set out to calculate garbage results with garbage inputs, if you insist.

But you're not putting accurate numbers on how much anyone wants anything, because it's all subjective.

> All government choices are forceful interventions, whether a choice to act or not act.

Indeed. That's how ruling over subjects works. I can't parse the latter part though, but whatever.
Add me to the C# guy list. I've been using it since around 2003 or so. I run Windows in a VM on a Mac Pro. It's my go-to language. Before that it was mainly Delphi, after Borland Pascal and C++ in DOS.
Here's a dollar. Who can I pay it to so that 30 tons of forest get saved ?

It doesn't matter about the estimated costs of something (feel free to share sources also) if people aren't going to actually do the thing. Even the most extreme and fully impossible reduction of carbon emissions, like banning all cars on Earth (which would also have immense social and economic costs in itself) will not reverse the problem now. All strategies must be employed at once.
Or, you know, you could actually learn the language you use. Prototypes are not nearly as bloated as classes, and you usually don't even need them. OO is not the one true paradigm of coding.

There's a simple remedy: use DuckDuckGo and Firefox (like all people in the civilized Web). I have yet to see a single AMP search result. How come we're being brainwashed into thinking it's a good idea to rely on search results produced by the world's largest ad network? Because Google never would send you to the pages having the most ads, would they?

Of course this doesn't address Google's potential anti-competitive behaviour which is a case for antitrust investigation not witch hunt.
The Linux foundation is on the take from MSFT.
One phrase I've found a lot of wisdom in is: Depression is a life-threatening illness.
This sounds specific. Has this happened with you?
For many publishers (I work for one), AMP pages aren't any faster than their pages from a cold start. The advantage AMP has is that it doesn't load from a cold start; most visitors to AMP pages come from search where google starts pre-loading & pre-rendering the page with service workers. There is no real way for a publisher to do that on their own. Discussed here in the context of the difficulties of measuring AMP performance: https://www.ampproject.org/latest/blog/measuring-amp-perform...

I agree AMP is an abomination and despise google for introducing it. They've abdicated their duty to nudge the advertising world forward.
Indeed safe strings in C are hard to do, but the nul termination is not the end-all-be-all of C strings; indeed, there is often a way to specify maximum string length (e.g. %.#s format in the prints family, strncpy). So mmapped strings are actually useful.

The bigger problems is embedded nuls, which can’t easily be sidestepped in the C strong framework.

Regardless, C won when the world was not yet well connected, and vulnerabilities mattered much less. It might not have won if the match was held today. The wake up calls were the Morris worm (intentional) and the AT&T outage (unintentional, and more of a logic error iirc) but by then it was too late.

I'm in my 50s, but I'm learning to code, but I'm not exactly new to it. I just didn't do it for a long time and now it's a rather different world from doing Fortran on 110-baud Decwriters. I got into an electrical engineering program, but dropped out when I discovered that the number of times they let you fail differential equations is finite. I ended up with a career in publishing. No regrets, really, but now publishing like other businesses becomes increasingly high-tech (I remember editing with a red pencil and doing layouts with waxers and x-acto knives). I push xml files around and write xslt and xquery scripts. I wrote our code specs for our ebook program. Now I'm developing a python app to supplement the terrible proprietary inventory system we use.

I do not call myself an engineer.
Perhaps. But it's also possible to murder (or endanger) non Tesla drivers by messing with road signs as well.
A prefix that lets you properly pick more registers isn't much in the way of innovation either, no matter how important it is.

Great strategy, but if you ever have interruptions that cause you to empty out the larder, you will then starve since you can't shop.

Oh, wait... you're probably a human being not a computer program. Sorry: it's a kind of a reflexive code review process for me by now.

Former submariner:

The military is about as far from zero-sum as you can get.

Gear is manufactured, used, worn out and discarded, at surprisingly high cost overall.

Soldiers are recruited, trained, serve, and leave. Training funds, time, and gear are necessary but never recouped.

Every military operation of any scale uses food/fuel/every other supply imaginable - all used and lost from other productive use.

Every 'build a civilization' game ever assigns expenses to military units created, never any production value.

(Ok, military R&D is sometimes practical and useful outside of the military... a small sop in an other wise large sinkhole.)
To be fair, grunt workers have their own category of BS work. For instance, reinventing a wheel in a worse or quirky way.

Of course, good management is supposed to find that energy and channel it into a more constructive collaboration, but if management is in alignment meetings 40 hours a week, there's no time to keep tabs on engineers caught in the rhapsody of dead end innovation.
There are non profits that do things like buy land for conservation. I don't know which ones are efficient and effective so I won't try to name a specific one.

Anthony Bourdain, Travel Host and Author, Is Dead at 61
The thing with this comment is the assumption that there can be no valid use case possible if you can't see or imagine it. Not sure if you see it. Since you insist on beating the Airpod drum, let's unpack it.

The quick charge on Airpods is 15 minutes for 3 hours. My BeatsX are much quicker and provide a longer use - 5 minutes of charging for 2 hours.

Still, Airpods only have 5 hours talk time, which guarantees and require a recharge for 15 minute in the middle of each day - that doesn't work for many. I regularly end up on 4-6+ hours of back to back calls, plus other listening. Can't have sound cutting out during calls.

My daily drivers right now are BeatsX (8+ hours), which can be charged quicker than Airpods using a 2.4A power source. Still, a dealbreaker when they cut out in the middle of a call on the same day.

There seem to be 2 headsets worth looking at beyond AirPods or BeatsX currently that offer in-ear sound, and 9+ hours of sound:

New Apple Powerbeats 3 (12h): https://9to5mac.com/2017/02/18/beatsx-powerbeats3-and-airpod...

Plantronics 6200 UC (up to 9 hours) with in-call noise cancellation: https://www.plantronics.com/ca/en/product/voyager-6200-uc

I've owned more BT headsets (easily over a dozen) than most folks I know, including Airpods, which were promptly returned.

Airpods are very nice for casual listening of short commutes, etc. They may make people feel space age, but they are still not the 3rd or 4th gen where it's worth paying attention to most of Apple's products. They are overpriced and underpowered, but cool tech, especially the W1 stuff. I bought and returned the Bose QC30's too, only because they don't apply noise cancellation to calls.

In-ear Bluetooth sound has to evolve be forgiving enough to provide 10-20 hours of use to allow charging every other day.
This is a very sad day for me. I have never expressed this to anyone before. Anthony Bourdain was one of my heroes.

Anthony changed the way that I view the world and inspired me to explore the world's rich tapestry of life. We have lost someone who truly was a world citizen who built the culture that "different" could be good.

The man's struggles through addiction and journey to peak physical fitness in his late 50s is nothing short of inspiring. I hope that he is immortalized through his work.
What's the best way to encourage someone to call when they're showing outward signs of depression but you don't know them?

I saw someone who was very clearly depressed streaming the other day. They weren't responding to chat. Crying. Fetal position on the floor for 7+ hours. Very depressing social media posts, etc.

But I did not know this person. I did encourage them to call, however it was a difficult message to compose. You don't want to make them feel like they're a burden or weak ("call if you need someone") and some people may need encouragement to actually pick up the phone.

So in a situation with a stranger online, who may not see or respond to your message, what would you say?
As someone who has worked in the defense industry his entire career (and served in the Army before that), I find the general tone of most of these comments - in particular the ones coming from supposedly loyal American citizens - disturbing (not to mention insulting). Almost makes me wish we'd actually institute mandatory national service.

That said, I'd love to work on ML/AI related defense projects. Thanks to Google, more of this type of work will surely be thrown over to the traditional defense contractors - so maybe I'll get that chance, eh?
>, I can only hope that people as a whole start seeing it as a complex issue and the stigma of mental issues and stress can lessen so that people can get help

Possibly inappropriate - but why do people immediately link suicide and mental illness? Why do we stand in judgement declaring it wrong to decide ones own fate? Am I not the master of my own existence and do I not have the right to make a decision on it without a bunch of hand wringing from other people refusing to countenance the possibility that I am still of sound mind?

Living is a choice, just as death is. (apologies if this is distasteful, I'm mostly interested to hear responses)

Not only that, but it becomes very easy to tell yourself that you don't deserve success. It's easy to look at your life and say "I haven't really worked that much harder, lived that much more virtuously. I don't deserve this, this should be someone else..."

I'm not the parent commenter but, regardless of the uselessness of such a job (as an analyst, producing reports of negligible value or whose value is ignored, or as a developer, producing apps that produce such reports for those analysts), you are still paid well enough to not complain/look elsewhere and the experience is useful for your next job.
The stories we tell ourselves are not true just because we tell them. Just because he said it does not mean that's true, it sounds more like post-hoc rationalizing, made up on the spot when he got the question (may not have been the first time, I'm not saying he made it up specifically right then, there might have been an earlier occasion).

I mean he may think it is, I mean "true" as in that it actually works. I doubt it, at least in this specific case. I see two levels: On the intellectual one and on a deeper brain level, system 1 and 2 in Kahneman speak, I fail to be convinced that flipping through a hundred slides impresses either part of anyone's brain.

I think all explanations given here (or, ever) should be viewed under that light. Just because they are given (as explanation) does not actually make them an explanation. After all, one of people's greatest strengths is coming up with convincing stories for anything! That was one of the problems of coming up with the "scientific method" to overcome that very strong tendency, both the one to create stories, but also the one to believe them.
To play the devil's advocate: it took a decade for jQuery to "make itself obsolete". AMP is still young.
> There are entire levels of people whose only real purpose seems to be putting together PowerPoint presentations for other people. Literally producing entertainment for others who spends most of their time consuming that entertainment.

You haven't been working in corporate america very long if you think powerpoint presentations are entertainment. :-)

There are people who do nothing but put together powerpoint presentations because a) someone has to create easy-to-consume version of technical work for executive consumption and b) its a hell of a lot cheaper and faster to have one low-level designer adapt my sketches than it is for me to stop my work and spend a week tweaking fonts and vector graphics.

Specialization has benefits to the company as a whole even if some of the specialists (in isolation) do not seem to be contributing much from the perspective of an observer. They are force-multipliers for the people who truly do. I have grown to respect the value that executive assistants provide even though it seems like all they do is schedule meetings, its a huge context shift and time suck to do it myself.
It is cheap - see the huge fall in gas prices since the introduction of fracking. The US has gone from being a net importer of natural gas to an exporter, such is the increase in supply.

"Secure" doesn't mean "is never going to run out", but rather that we don't have to rely on other countries from it. The UK can meet some of its natural gas needs with local fracking, reducing the need to import gas.

It's seen as a waste of time that is holding back innovation. When arguing for progressive enhancement, I've been essentially told "We're focused on customers who have a real browser, not old nerds who have javascript disabled".
I think that was sarcasm, given that “serverless” is a pretty trendy term, just like “blockchain”.

Chat on IPFS is a good idea, though.
Well, there's nothing wrong besides your job security, which will erode over time due to competition (low-barrier to being average) and also because your tasks could/will be automated.

This stands in many other industries of course, but the point is that not pushing for being better is not a viable long-term strategy if you need to earn a living from it.
This does not solve the problem that your webpage will be buried under a ton of AMPified results when most of the people search for it.
I didn't say people can't confront each other or even swear at each other. My point is that Linus is swearing at someone who made a contribution to a project. What sense is there in saying the following to people other than signifying that you don't respect them:

"...when you are a f*cking moron"
"Andy, what is the background for trying to push this idiocy?"

Note that I only called the other swearing in his text childish and not damaging to morale. Also note that in verbal discussions I wouldn't myself shy away from swearing or graphic metaphors. I just think that when replying to pull-requests there should be some emotional self-control... something which children have less of.

> Something with the pot and the kettle.

As I said, confronting people isn't on some list of don'ts that I keep and replying to comments filled with false assumptions and accusations is not the same as replying to a pull-request.

>would this really classify as an inappropriate rant in Holland?

If I were to call my colleagues fucking morons and call their contributions idiocies I would probably at least receive some negative feedback from my boss. So yes. I find it hard to believe that calling people 'fucking morons' is an accepted practice at your job.

> And our directness is often referred to as rude. It would look better on you to not blindly follow in that judgement when it concerns others.

But blindly following some judgement of Americans being two-faced liars does look good on you? Something with pots and kettles?

At the birth of Computer Science there is this notion that it's (as we might say today) turtles all the way down. Kurt Gödel, Alonzo Church, Alan Turing in the first half of the twentieth century come up with this weird stuff at the edge of the philosophy of mathematics to answer maddening questions, what is "computing" and what makes something "computable"? It seems to have no answer that isn't self-referential. The systems they imagine are endlessly defined in terms of themselves. But they are all theoreticians, and in theory this is perfectly satisfactory.

When actual digital computers get built, the engineers responsible for using them are not at first much interested in the theory of Computer Science, their machines resolutely do not come with an infinitely long paper tape, the problems they're solving are very specific and finite, these are practical people.

But Grace _applies_ the theory. Since the process of turning the high level (e.g. assembly language) into low level (e.g. holes in a paper tape) is mechanical, why not have the machine do it? And if this can be done, why not recurse, and produce even the assembly language from some higher level program. Productivity is improved enormously. And this is at the heart of everything today. Even our microprocessors are really full of microcode that implements more complicated instructions in terms of smaller ones, so that the "machine code" isn't the final form executed by the hardware in practice either.

“Rather than some embarrassingly reductionist, one-deficiency-one-illness-one-pill model of mental illness, contemporary exploration of human behavior has demonstrated that we may know less than we ever thought we did. And that what we do know about root causes of mental illness seems to have more to do with the concept of evolutionary mismatch than with genes and chemical deficiencies.”
