I just got an X1 Carbon that I use with an egpu dock for work, and I absolutely love it. Thinner and lighter than a MacBook, the keyboard is great, and it runs Linux. Only complaint I have is that the egpu doesn't support hotswapping, but egpus are new, so I'll give it some time.

Also, a trackpoint :).
I have a "regular" (9-5) remote job and a wife who works full time. Working from home has been very helpful for childcare activities.

I pick up my kids at 2-3 pm and then get a babysitter for the afternoons while I am still working until 5ish. This ends up being, basically, just a late lunch.

If things go south with my babysitter the kids can play or watch tv while I finish up the day and it's not a big deal to occasionally do.

I would try to get a stable/full-time job at a family friendly company, but that's just me all the time. Health care is expensive.
Quantum encryption is broken today. Classical encryption may be broken, nobody knows.

I prefer Mithril.js, used from TypeScript, with Tachyons for inline-ish CSS. That is what I use when I have a choice like for personal projects that are single-page applications (e.g. StoryHarp, NarraFirma, Twirlip7 on github). That way almost all code is in one language and can be easily refactored. Mithril is most naturally used via a "HyperScript" API where you define DOM/vdom nodes via function calls -- e.g. m("div.ba.bw2", m("span.blue", "Hello World")). Templating systems (including JSX for React) are unfortunate crutches which ultimately make development harder because they get in the way of refactoring, modularizing, and testing. And typical semantic CSS use (e.g. .warning vs. .red) often ends up in a messy snowball where people eventually are too afraid to remove anything -- whereas if you make your components in JavaScript code, you don't need semantic CSS. It turns out that "best practices" for server-driven Web 1.0 applications (e.g. HTML-ish templates and semantic CSS) often are "worst practices" for JavaScript-first single-page applications.

React also is overly complex because it tries to over-optimize redrawing speed through encouraging components to maintain a lot of local state using setState -- even though the increasingly popular Flux model encourages global-ish state for one-way data flow that makes the internal workings of UIs easier to reason about. Mithril is more Flux-ish out of the box in terms of the design patterns it encourages. Mithril's default behavior is based on rerendering the entire current vdom tree any time the user interacts with a DOM element or after a network request completes -- and the Mithril community only encourages optimizing beyond that if there is a specific performance issue. (You need to add your own redraw calls in callbacks for timeouts and a few other cases.)

That said, I can understand how the herd mentality shapes the employment landscape for both programmers and their managers. It does in my own work life too -- where I have spent a couple of years working in Angular for my day job despite knowing what a mess of accidental complexity it is compared to something like Mithril. Angular was chosen years ago by other developers before I joined the project -- developers who mostly did not stick around to suffer the maintenance consequences. At least new projects may be in something other than Angular -- typically React (which is at least better than Angular).

It's saddening how many times in my career I've ended up having to work with worse technology because of herd effects -- despite knowing better alternatives existed and having personal experience with them. For example, IBM chose to promote Java instead of Smalltalk in the late 1990s (despite having two Smalltalks it owned). Or Netscape ultimately foisted a Java-ish looking JavaScript on the world when Brendan Eich was originally recruited with the promise he could write a Scheme for the browser. Although, as with both Java and JavaScript, after a couple of decades, most of the worst rough edges are worn smoother and many of the worst bugs are fixed, and so the developer experience for both by now is finally not that bad.

Lots of negative or neutral posts in here, so let me chime in: I love React Native.

It’s not perfect, but it’s very damn good. One of the most impressive pieces of software I’ve encountered in 9+ years of mobile and full stack development.

I do all my projects in RN now, and I believe it gives me a 2-3x iteration speed advantage over my competitors with indistinguishable-from-native interactions (using react-native-navigation) and the ability to be on all platforms. For a solo dev, these advantages are insanely powerful and are the major reasons that my business is viable.

Last year I rewrote my game Falcross in RN and I’m so happy with my choice. Seriously, check it out and see if you can tell it’s a “hybrid” app:
[App Store]: https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/falcross-logic-puzzles/id500...
[Google Play]: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rawrmaan.f...

At 5k+ DAU I believe it is the largest production game written in RN.

There are more apps but I’m on mobile and it’s too hard to link them.

Major kudos to the RN team for all their hard work. RN makes me feel very dangerous as a solo developer and honestly makes mobile development more fun than I have ever imagined (especially paired with TypeScript). Thank you!
I didn't say any of those things even remotely. It kind of feels like you've imagined both sides of an argument in your head, and are projecting the other side on me.

The only thing I'm saying is: If I'm a known con man, and I'm trying to do a deal with another known con man, I'd like to have a platform that supposedly doesn't require me to trust a con man.

I never said anything about whether blockchain can or cannot do that, never said anything about globally eliminating the need for trust, nor that blockchain is a solution for anything, nor what is "safe and wise".

I'm not even a proponent of blockchain...I can just see why some types of people are attracted to the advertised benefits.
It always scares me that civil engineers and other real engineers (with professional engineer certificates) rely on software built by software "engineers" who may just be some kids out of high school that picked up coding.

It's an extreme scenario, yes, as I'm sure/hope the software goes through rigorous testing.
It helps some people focus, but not me. For me its good to relax every few months, but not to get anything done.

Yes, I spent 6mths with it.

As with any programming langauge, if you do simple things, and do them often, then you'll probably have little to worry about. D certainly makes many things simple for you.

On the otherhand, the language has no personality that you get your head around. It tries to be everything to everyone.

If you are presented with some code for D app, it's not possible to understand what 'style' programming you'll see, until you see it - because the language supports so many paradigms.

Although, not all paradigms are faithfully represented.

For example, class-oriented programmers will get at least an intial shock, when they realise that private class members are public witin a module. Any code in a module can change any part of your encapsulated classes.

Then, you have the issue of public being the default.

Then, you have the issue of class instances being able to share mutable data.

And the list goes on..and on... and on..

If you've never programmed before, these might not be such a big deal, but if you're an experience programmers from a mainstream langauges, you'll spend a large amount of your time working out all these things for yourself, most of the time.

I personally do not see the benefit for experienced programmers to switch from a well supported, well maintained, mainstream langauges, to D. It just does not make sense to me.

Sure D does some interesting things. Other languages can learn and take from D, just as D has taken so much from other langauges.

In the end, there is nothing in D that really changes the nature of programming. It's all the stuff we already know, all wound up into one big monstrosity, that lacks any real supporting ecosphere.

Chicagoan here. What the city really needs is a ring line - a wheel for all the spokes of current train lines. There's already a CTA train going from O'Hare to downtown (and back out again!). It's hard to imagine this having much appeal besides a shiny new toy for the consultants flying into the city.
Consulting and project/product management do teach these skills frequently. Additionally, the senior people at your company can probably discuss this at length, especially if they've worked at large companies (look for people 40+ if possible).

There are some general rules about managing your manager. One learn how they like to have information presented to them (Are they big on presentations? Emails? 1:1s?. Hint: it's probably not email). Are there specific things that they look for, ie former Mckinsey consultants tend to pick up small mistakes in presentations, some managers may have a thing about about grammar/spelling mistakes. When your company is hosting happy hours or events, go to them and mingle. NEVER talk badly about your manager. Always remember that your job is to make them look good. For example when you want to give talks at industry events, you need to pitch it as bringing more name recognition to the company and to the department. Benefits could be found in recruiting, easier time raising money, maybe more clients (IT'S FREE MARKETING for the company!)

PS
Hopefully, you were smart enough to ask why he didn't want you to give talks at industry events (a potentially valid issue could be that you're distracted from the work you're being paid to do)
You're question about this technology mistakes the fear for the thing prompting the fear. Picture someone saying that you need to slow down while driving toward an area. The request to slow down isn't mitigated just because there are examples of things which go faster or which go the same speed. It's not the speed that causes the fear, but the potential things ahead.

There are extremely good arguments for caution in the development of artificial intelligence. It's reasonable to suppose it will be society altering at a minimum, but in not so improbably extremes it threatens extinction and immortality.

As for what makes this advance notable to someone cautioning speed? It's explicitly an example of a removed limiter, data collection and labeling. As such, it represents a potential acceleration of progress.

Given speed being seen as in conflict with caution, increase in speed can be thought of, potentially, especially when fearful, as a reduction in caution.

> Why is the campus divided by a highway to begin with?? But that's neither here nor there.

That's probably more circumstance than anything else. The area immediately north of the campus has a lot of residential housing, attractive to both students and employees, moreso because Miami's public transit is gawdawful; if you can walk to school/work, avoiding the traffic, that's a bonus.

Additionally, the campus wasn't always the behemoth it is now. The highway they speak of is SW 8th Street, or Tamiami Trail, if memory serves. It's a main road in the area The campus was always adjacent, but only semi-recently has it begun to truly crowd the road, likely a byproduct of all the insane construction going on in the school. FIU is far from the only school spending ridiculous money on infrastructure. The school was never really plopped down next to a major highway...they both just grew, and city planning has never been the area's strong point.

agree. Especially with #3 "understand what boss wants"

From the way OP phrased the question, it sounded like the OP felt the manager "owed" the OP.

As in, OP feels going to the conference is a must, "a given", a "constitutional right", and that the manager "wronged" him by not letting him go.

It's a very childish way of viewing the world. As in, I deserve to go to Disneyland. My mom won't let me, so I will now get a "thick skin" to "manage her". An adult would be thinking of helping mom pay the bills.

OP focuses on himself, on what he wants. There is no mention in the question of what the manager wants. It screams "me me me"
One of the most advanced thinkers of our time had much to say about religion. On a related note, here's a quote from him about Buddhism:

“If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism."

For further reading on BBC: http://www.bbncommunity.com/einstein-on-buddhism/

I knew of the quote, so I was looking for a deeper insight into how he arrived at such a simple conclusion, but there's little to no correlation between the quote and the linked article.

I suspect he wanted to throw the Buddha a bone, but not throw his influence behind the movement given the predominance of Christianity at the time and his Jewish heritage, but hard to say in retrospect.
I use SLiRP over SSH as a poor man's VPN. It's ancient. The bulk of the code is a userspace TCP stack that performs NAT. I can use any SSH host as full VPN with only basic user privileges. I spent quite a bit of time poking around the code to try to improve performance. Increasing the receive window was sufficient to achieve >1Mb/s over a high latency link, but I can't go much higher without <100ms latency. It turns out that SLiRP never implemented window scaling, it was unnecessary for the links back then. The code has been reused for virtualization applications like VirtualBox, etc; but window scaling was never needed for that since client-host latency is basically zero there. Digging through old network code gives an appreciation for how far we've come.

I think this very problem is what makes a lot of people cynical about open source software. HN sees frequent "If you want to see development on [open source project X] continue, money puts fingers to keys" cries for help—from the FSF to Mozilla to Apache. And yet, when one of the most valuable companies in the world writes a blog post about their open source software, leading with:

> At Facebook, we're using React Native more than ever and for many important projects. One of our most popular products is Marketplace, one of the top-level tabs in our app which is used by 800 million people each month.

has a project that's short on cash, how much money does it really take to make this stuff happen? When a company with tens of thousands of employees and billions in revenue and a billion users can't manage to address the very real and critical problems that their insanely popular framework has, what is a tiny project like PyPy supposed to do? What are the folks that make react-router supposed to do? What about the people that contribute to vim/iTerm2/VLC?

Certainly, the world keeps turning and open software keeps getting written and improving. But if you're embedded in open source and you see this kind of nonsense, it's hard not to feel a twinge of cynicism that even a deep-pocketed sponsor can't manage to help a project be exceptional.
Unless you are adding TCP to your CDC6600 or PDP-8, bytes are 8 bits. Any suggestion to the contrary in standards is fantasy.

That said, since the next field is a uint16_t, you may as well stay in Rome and call them uint8_t. short really is variable on some live architectures.

(Ok, or some DSPs only address words larger than 8 bits, but there's no reason for your compiler not to pick up the slack.)

Also, TIL that __attribute__((packed)) assumes the struct can be malevolently aligned and for some architectures generates very large and slow code to handle that. If you must pack, also add the ",aligned(2)" or whatever you can get away with to mitigate this.
Perfect for where I am at the moment.

I have thought a lot about why there are so many flat-Earthers, and I think I have figured out the main cause. For flat-Earthers who are sincere and not mentally disturbed, I think the problem is a general mistrust of experts and society in general.

This is because we live today in societies that are so unnaturally large. Human psychology is designed for small foraging tribes where you know everyone personally, and so can determine how trustworthy they are. And furthermore, everyone is strongly motivated to be trustworthy because otherwise they would become social outcasts and could not survive.

In large, complex societies like ours, you are continually being presented with claims by people you don't know personally and so it is quite possible to lose all trust in their truthfulness. This is especially the case in the US today where you have entities like much of conservative media that are actively working to cultivate mistrust.

Unfortunately trust in experts is absolutely essential for a large society like ours to function, and so the problem is how to restore such trust. I think that is a very difficult problem.
I agree, it is beautiful. But Ayn Rand would have hated it. That design is steeped in European and Christian traditions and symbolism. Those things are all anathema to her ideology.
> I am asking this because I was recently asked by my manager not to give talks in really difficult to get in industry events, despite of getting an acceptance.

Curious, were you told why? Seems really strange.
Will you regret not talking at the events? If so it's your career and something you have to live with, not your manager. You won't always work for that company (or even that manager), but you will always have the talks on your resume.

Unless he's got a really good reason, you haven't said. I would tell him it's your career and not his, but thanks for his advice.

Does all this math include building out the call center, technician and customer support, field cars, and on going maintenance? Building it is one thing, maintaining it; not just the cable but the hubs and data center; plus staffing with all be costs to be accounted for. Throw in do they need to subsidize or provide computers for the low income residents as well.

It isn't just lack of availability of internet that keeps low income out its the lack of devices to make use of the internet and rudimentary training.
>It's a false claim to structural integrity.

That's not how engineering works at all. Structures are either safe for the conditions or not.

They don't have features that the public derives safety ratings for because that's impossible for the public to do under any kind of complex forces.

A cable from a bridge doesn't mean anything about it's safety or support. It's nothing like the airbag example.
> It's a false claim to structural integrity.

That's a weird claim to make. False claim to who? Joe on the street?
> many places in the US where the closest doctor is a few hundred miles away

Although this statement may be true, it may also be irrelevant if there are no people in those places. That said, I'm not just being pedantic: my point is that lack of availability is far more likely to be a result of low population density than of being in the US.

Moreover, your comment fails to respond to the original point, which is that of affordability/availability to families with middle income. Poverty combined with low population density would likely result in even less availability, but, then, poverty is incompatible with "middle income".
Not just "publishing" software but even writing private software for your own, and your friends' & families', devices is something we can't take for granted. For personal and (private) family use, I gave up on trying to do native apps for iPhone and decided to learn how to do whatever was possible with web apps.

And if iOS Safari (Apple's "gatekeeper" of last resort) falls too far behind, I'll take myself and the whole gang I serve as "IT installer, fixer, and advisor" for right out of Apple land.
