More specifically a PR to update https://github.com/mohd-akram/compilers/blob/master/src/comp.... One could argue that source and target should allow arrays. But in general someone needs to maintain an up-to-date "awesome-compilers" list.
I kinda got that impression as I was reading it, but had hoped I was wrong.

There is a line of criticism I see often that goes something like this "$thing is convincing people $bad_idea." (Sorry for the vague way of presenting this, but I can't abstract it more clearly.)

I take that criticism and see the natural next step as reducing the amount of influence that $thing has over people in specific, and in general give them the tools to evaluate unfounded ideas and manipulation. I find this conclusion blindingly obvious, and is where I depart from would-be political allies who conclude with the same obviousness: "lets re-engineer $thing to manipulatively spread $good_idea."
I'm not sure what "errands bank account" means, but I'm in the US and making a couple random deposits <$1 to confirm an electronically linked bank account is mine is how things are done here in my experience. They always take the deposits back afterwards, too.
I know you were playing devil's advocate, but that argument can be said of any child. It's functionally slavery to be born in Africa since the living conditions are terrible. It's functionally slavery to conceive a black child in America since it's statistically likely to be poor. It's functionally slavery to have a child born to rich parents since there is a high likelihood of emotional abuse due to drugged out mothers and workaholic fathers.

From a thermal perspective, there's an inertia and an accumulation effect so the hottest part of the day is around 5PM, not noon. There may be times when we want to maximise whatever heat available, or conversely avoid as much heat as possible.

But in the end, I think it evens out as the culture will simply adjust to what works best for most people, and not really care about lining up to neat numbers.

This isn't a matter of just tweaking some code, running your test suite and having someone buddy your check-in. Once they've identified the bug and come up with a solution they probably have to fly an airliner around for a while, deliberately trying to break it, to confirm that it worked.
This. Apple is really good at iterating, and nobody gets it right the first time. The early "cats" had lots of time to mature (look at how long Tiger persisted, my personal favourite) and I think Apple should strongly reconsider the annual cadence to allow that to happen again for macOS. They just changed the whole filesystem, for crying out loud. That needs time to settle.

There's also the fact that Snow Leopard will run on any Intel Mac, and I think a lot of people remember how (necessarily) light on its feet it was by comparison with what followed.

Nobody calls for mistreating men. Well maybe Valerie Salonas. Can you really not distinguish between mainstream feminism and violent wackjobs?

> schools trying to teach boys their gender is the cause of all the world's ills

No they're not.

> general diva nature washing over women on social media

This just sounds like a "women are emotional" argument, which isn't helpful. There's plenty examples of men being outrageous on the internet. (Your comment is one of them)

> Essentially you could see a male "makers" community around not involving women.

You act like this is an original insight. You're just parroting what some incels are saying.

You really don't wanna be involved with that group. Please understand when you're talking with them, you're inside a bubble where bile and hate is normalized.

> seven levels deep

There's your problem I think, as other sibling comments pointed out.
It's unfortunate that so many recruiters have this mindset. Instead of judging based on the time spent at places, ask why they're bored and what they would enjoy working on. If that lines up with your opening, then great. If not, then move on. See if they have and side projects or even work examples that they're passionate about... But by all means, don't judge based on something that is often times out of their control entirely.

I've been working in front-end development for the last decade, half of that freelance. I took my first full-time job in 2014. It was a contract-to-hire setup with an agency in DC. After working on contract for 4 months, they gave me an offer of $30k... For Washington DC. Needless to say, I politely declined, but that meant moving back to my home state in KY where tech jobs aren't a dime a dozen. After a 3 month gap, I landed a job with an agency that specialized in building and maintaining hospital and healthcare network websites. I was required to move to a nearby city for it, in Louisville KY. - The job lasted barely 6 months before the company closed the satellite office. I was told I could move across the country, or I would be let go. Because of my work history, I couldn't draw unemployment and my savings were pretty slim after the past year of running around all over the place. I took the first job I could land, at an autodesk reseller company. Three months after starting, there was a reorganization with my direct manager getting the boot, and someone with a "fine arts degree" replacing her... My new manager had no experience managing teams, no web experience at all, and she was running the entire marketing department. Needless to say, after a total of a year there the entire marketing department (5 people at that point), was shuttered. The CEO/HR tried to squirm out of it by firing everyone for "lack of performance", but thankfully most of us had proof that our jobs far exceeded the descriptions we signed up for and expectations were absolutely unreachable. I drew unemployment for the FULL 6 months following that, casually and carefully looking for my next job. I landed a role as a front-end designer at an elearning company and as of now I've been here a little over a year. That said, 6 months ago we went through a reorganization and more than a dozen of the staff were let go (out of 100 or so).

Moral of the story is, sometimes saying "I'm looking for exciting new projects and to learn new things!" sounds a hell of a lot better on a resume when compared to "my last company reorganized and no longer needed me, the one before that shuttered their marketing department, the one before that closed their local office entirely, and the one before that couldn't afford to offer a living wage in one of the most densely populated US cities..."
> For commercial surveillance to be cost effective, it has to socialize all the risks associated with mass surveillance and privatize all the gains.

That's the biggest insight of the article. That's exactly what the likes of Facebook and Google (and telecoms, and data brokers, etc) are doing.
I am curious about that statement too. Maybe the argument was something like "Black man is running for President." That fact alone was enough to cause racial tensions.
What makes you say that High Sierra lives up to the standard? Because it had more "under the hood" stuff? I think the Snow Leopard meme is also about perceived quality, not just where the updates occurred.

Also, apropos of nothing, when I was in my larval state and we walked uphill both ways to school, High Sierra was a file system, not an OS. My System 7.1 Mac has an extension to read them.

You might be a fan of Hubski then - it's a pretty similar interface to Reddit, but in addition to a global top (i.e. frontpage) and tags (i.e. subreddits), you can follow other users and get a feed of the content they like. It's a pretty elegant approach, and helps you see a good range of content if you follow accordingly.

It's also a much better userbase to my mind, but that's probably a function of small size.
Cryptocurrency Website Like No Other – The New Excc.co Is Live
The use case for a regular expression that matches the empty string is detecting whether something starts with an optional pattern. E.g. '(foo)?' to match the optional prefix 'foo'. FWIW if you really want re.match().group() to always return a string, you can just wrap all your regular expressions with '(...)?'.

The reason why someone might want to be able to distinguish between "no match" and "the match is empty" is writing code that takes any arbitrary regular expression and uses it as a filter. Then someone else could pass in an expression that matches empty and everything works together nicely.
That discussion does not match your summary of it.

This wasn't a security feature that got enabled. This was an expectation of the long-standing semantics of /dev/console, which as M. Poettering pointed out long pre-date systemd, being broken by a container manager.

So yes, it's right that the container manager be fixed so that it is possible for every open file descriptor for /dev/console to be closed and then the device re-opened again. Such semantics have been around longer than Linux itself has; systemd is written to expect them. /dev/console is not supposed to magically vanish/become inoperable once all currently open file descriptors for it have been closed. Quite a lot of other softwares, including everything that uses openlog() with LOG_CONS, expect this of /dev/console too.

Indeed, /dev/console is one of the very few device files mandated to exist by the Single UNIX Specification (XBD part 10). The container manager was actually setting up an execution environment that is not POSIX conformant.

And I observe that indeed said container manager did get fixed.

Possibly. The key issue is the politics; selective public schooling allows the schools to be treated unequally by the resource allocation system, where the one with the worse performing pupils gets less resources and is less preferred by staff, reinforcing the cycle.
Webpack 4 – Mysterious SplitChunks Plugin
And just to play devil's advocate against that argument in turn... the child didn't consent to being born. In fact, in most existing legal systems, children don't consent to much at all until the age of consent. And arguing that giving birth to a child without abiding by all social norms is immoral is an extremely slippery slope in and of itself. At least eugenics was (ostensibly, of course) concerned mostly with measurable traits, this is arguably worse.
Especially if it means they get all the legal benefits reserved for legally recognized married couples!
Thomas Edison's Creepy Talking Doll from 1890
The Obama campaign didn't overtly use divisive language on race but focused a lot of energy on convincing people that the wealthy weren't paying their "fair share" and used similiar classist langauge throughout the campaign. They are very good at it and aren't as ham-handed as Trump so this is probably why you walked away with the sense it was a purely positive campaign.

Part of the reasons conservatives see Obama as divisive is because conservatives tend to believe that most wealth in America is earned through hard work and sacrifice, and many believe that they can better their own financial means through these things. So even for those that aren't at the level of wealth being targeted by the politicians, this language is negative and divisive to conservatives in general because it instills a deep sense of unfairness and mistrust by targeting those who "earned" their wealth and painting them as takers.
Heh heh... I meant "job offer," not "jack off!"

It's a command line tool, who cares if it works on mobile.
That's a good point: a big reason for job hoppings is that employers aren't diligent about raising comp and promoting existing employees.

Obviously it's not good for the bottom line to raise pay for the same work. But trying to avoid that is short-sighted, and leads to the much greater eventual expense of turnover.

As an employee, if market comp for your work has risen substantially what your current employer pays you, then it is only rational for you to change to an employer who will. Once you find a job that will pay your market rate, the employer may try to match, but as we all know - at that point it's a bad idea to stay.

So the problem isn't "damn immature millennial job hopping", but that many employers aren't efficient at keeping up with market rates in a boom economy, and their retention rates therefore suffer. They're effectively penalizing employees who stick around and reward job hoppers.

Everyone expects layoffs and pay freezes (or even pay drops) on recessions. Why aren't the pay raises in boom times commensurate?

Blaming the "job hoppers" will not help.
Well. Expecting an article about job trends, with good old text and maybe some new cool info-graphics, and after clicking the link discovering a file/archive directory first and them some vintage looking graphics... is weird.
> it is getting increasingly ugly

This is what's scary. The ugly part is just starting, because we haven't even gotten to the point where their AI systems have super-human intelligence and can use all of your "whole-life/everything you've ever done" data against you.

How bad is this going to be in 20 years? And does anyone really think Google and Facebook will "self-regulate" sufficiently on this, without extreme outside pressure?
A good start is to get rid of your Facebook account and try to find alternatives to Google.

Sure, DDG is not quite there, but for most of my queries it's just fine.

Having "deleted" my Facebook account some four years ago was a real liberator, though.
I do wish folks had indicated why they disagreed.
I have three pieces of advice.

1.) Keep the story about burning out under a toxic/micromanaging boss to yourself. I cannot stress this enough. Interviewing clients is about 50% selecting the best candidate and 50% covering your own ass. Even if your side is 100% true, it still raises too many red flags to even consider taking a chance on you.

2.) Do you have any side projects that are (even tangentially) related to the hospitality work you've been doing? If not, can you start one?

3.) Don't hide from your hospitality work. Instead, over the last four years on resort, you've likely picked up some great stories and learned some things you never would have learned had you gone right into a coding gig. Hell, I think that most good managers would see that hospitality background as a pretty good point in your favour.

As for networking, in theory yes, networking at events works. In practice, it's very slow, time consuming and frustrating. Cold emails to CEO/CTO types at startups you genuinely like is a better way, particularly if you'll be in {{tech hub}} on {{dates}} and would like to buy her a coffee.
Depending on how it's done. Hubski is pretty similar to Reddit, with a 'follow' mechanic to see content liked by certain people. It can easily be an echo chamber if you want that, but if you follow a good scattering of different people then it comes out much more varied than Reddit's hivemind outcomes.
Intel has gone to shit. I'd be happy to see laptop mfgs stop using their awful wifi radios as well.

Then meditate on why your question was inappropriate for that forum.

Its not my problem that the defense never brought it up.

"Actually we used to moonlight on Craigslist and routinely searched for fonts in leaked beta software to differentiate ourselves"

Now I'm being facetious.

But there are a lot of probable ways a font was added, ESPECIALLY for people that aren't good with computers. A toolbar added by a hacker group could have stolen fonts in it.
I think there are two dynamics operating in tandem to create the oft-voice antipathy toward macOS in these parts. They are:

1. People perceive the past through rose tinted glasses, so they remember past releases as being better than they actually were.

2. People notice the things which are going wrong more than they notice the things that are going right, so they think current releases are worse than they actually are.

I can confirm, deleting FB was a good thing overall, but YMMV.

I was largely using it as an event planner, but found that I could just subscribe via email lists or other ways for the venues I cared about keeping up with.

It also helps that I don't know a majority of my outer circle's daily status updates and when I see them at mutual engagements like birthday parties or house warmings, I'm more interested in talking to them and catching up.

No, and neither did the intense social, political, and racial divisions in the US that were present in 1968.
"Meeting retention rates is their problem, not mine."

Do you also maliciously fill out surveys with less than "excellent" ratings even after you are told that constitutes failure according to corporate management?

I understand the attitude of refusing to play the game, but that doesn't justify making things worse for other victims.
A Faustian Bargain is the pinnacle of deception. We had no idea of the "real" price in the early naughts. You are right about them misleading us.
I won't comment about your rhetoric other than to say it's functionally ad-hominem.

Wait, how? It's specifically about your language, not you. If, hypothetically, he'd taken a little scroll through your older comments and happened to, purely hypothetically, run across some stuff about how slaves had room and board and the persistent racist oppression of white males and then jumped to a conclusion and called you a racist, that would be ad hominem.

But that's totally not what happened.
I loved Snow Leopard. It's been downhill ever since, and I did hear that Apple has been moving their MacOS development teams to work on iOS instead. I'm afraid it shows - I've just bought a new Windows machine, my first this century.
That's not even close to a fair comparison. Trump tapped into a undercurrent of seething hate and racism. No not all Trump voters are KKK members but the whole of the KKK endorsed him and he gladly accepted it. Obama pushed a message of hope and bringing peace and justice to all people. He certainly fell short in a lot of ways but he was at least trying. Trump is tapping into the worse parts of our nation and using that to gain political power. It's a completely different thing. What you are using social media for matters.
Amazing that 4 years at one place is A Long Time now.
