Off topic: Is Scala still being adopted by new teams? I did couple of Scala dev jobs and later the market kind of died down, want to know if others are witnessing the same.
I think there are a couple things happening here. First, "everybody graduates." There has to be a path to graduation for everybody, or the parents, donors, and policy makers get quite annoyed. For this reason, there have to be "fluff" majors at every college.

Second, engineering has always had a public mission that is not shared by the humanities. Employability, and providing a minimal level of skill, are the purpose of engineering. Engineering says: "We will make you employable in spite of yourselves."

The humanities have not adopted that mission, and say: "You will make yourself employable if you take full advantage of what we offer here." You end up with a mixture of students, some are working barely hard enough to graduate, and a few are turning themselves into the next generation of thinkers.

Of course every field wants to sell itself as a gateway to employment: The world still needs "critical thinkers" and all that.

Adding ceiling tiles to the ceiling goes a long way. It may or may not be enough depending on what enough is. I mean, and as I suspect you know, masking is also important and both masking and absorption need to be tuned to specific human relevant frequencies in the acoustic environment. Kitchens are the critical restaurant ceilings in terms of cleaning. Both USG and Armstrong make cleanable ceiling tiles suitable for kitchens with many decades of successful performance across many restaurant installations. Less exotic tiles (if cleanable tiles are exotic) also have proven performance in dining and other areas. The proven performance is what made ceiling tile a ubiquitous default across building types...

...anyway, tiles outperform what most designers are capable of coming up with on their own and do so with little or no consideration on the designer's part. Loud restaurants largely reflect little or no consideration in the face of changing fashions. Then again, the restaurant business is so iffy that careful attention to acoustics is probably premature optimization. In five years it won't matter because the restaurant will be gone.
Hard to say really, as I didn't exactly start with the intention of learning the language, I just liked the movies. If I had to guess, I'd say probably a couple of years to get to a fluent, above-average level.
There appear to be two points being conflated — 1/ 2FA via secrets stored on a separate device from your primary device with a PM provide more security than those stored on one device, and 2/ once you use a PM with unique password for every site, much of what OTP helps with for is already mitigated.

Both seem true, and what to do to protect yourself more depends on what kinds of attacks you're interested in stopping and at what costs. Personally, PM + U2F seems the highest-security, fastest-UI, easiest-UX by far — https://cloud.google.com/security-key/

I'm surprised I have to argue about whether it's irresponsible to throw dangerous things into a crowd. It's irresponsible because they're dangerous.

He can't be sure what will happen with pills that people accidentally carry out on their shoes or clothing. Any pills that don't get cleaned up from the venue could be eaten by children or animals at a later date.

We're talking about a drug that we don't even let sick people buy until they've talked to a doctor and a pharmacist. Maybe someone in the crowd wrongly believes that they need it or rightly believes that they need it but doesn't know how to take it properly.

Also, if you don't have sympathy for an adult who eats homemade pills and suffers from it, then you're pretty much arguing that this whole plan is irresponsible from the start.

Anyone who wants a low overhead and trusted ad blocker should use uBlock Origin. The developer even refuses to take any donations (for some good reasons).

For those who want a lot more control and a content blocker, uMatrix would help.

Anything named as “Adblock” or “Adblock Plus” or similar is just a way for advertisers to decide what ads users see and don’t see, depending on how much they’re willing to pay and be held hostage to such extensions.

A lot of good answers in this thread. I want to emphasize that, though ageism clearly exist, it more than anything else depends on you. I have many colleagues and friends that started coding in their childhood (like me) who got burned out after doing it for decades. I have also experienced several times the feeling that coding just doesn't motivate me anymore. Software development is quite different from other technical work, constant pressure to learn new things while at the same time nothing really changes.

What helps is to acquire additonal skills or knowledge outside IT, for example domain knowledge of an industry. This takes time and dedication. Personally, I got very interested in training and I'm now building a training business.

Also important to keep in mind that there exist a whole different IT world outside startups and what you read on HN where ageism is much less a problem.
another reason acoustic ceiling tiles aren't popular is that they are difficult to clean compared to smooth, hard surfaces.

I fail to believe that restaurants are getting up into their exposed industrial design ceiling spaces and doing good cleaning.

Exactly. DNS-based blocking is basically using an oversize hammer to drive nails. It works in some cases, but eventually you're going to run in to either false positives or false negatives depending on how it's configured.

It's basically only actually useful for locked down platforms like certain fruit-flavored mobile devices that don't allow their users to install a proper ad blocker. If you use platforms that respect their users' choices of software you don't need it.
> If you’ve noticed recent updates to the product, that’s because uBlock has been acquired by the team responsible for AdBlock. We will be investing heavily into uBlock to help it deliver on the promise of being one of the best ad blockers available.

Why would they invest "heavily into uBlock" instead of improving AdBlock? It doesn’t make sense to maintain two different ad blockers.

Maybe they'll get pretty good at playing catch-up with this strategy. Also note that this suppresses intellectual freedom. US will have "people advantage" for the foreseeable future because of diversity and education. For e.g. A chance meeting between myself and an elementary school principal for a school in rural Oklahoma led to a (free) "Intro to South Indian Classical Music" Skype session with some kids and my sister who lives in India! This scenario is possible in China as well, but more probable in America now and the foreseeable future.

The point is that exposure to this kind of diversity sparks creativity. Google "chinese education rural vs. urban" to see the gap. This gap is not so great in America. So coupled with diversity and better education, US students are much better placed to forge the future!
> Are you saying that engineering has no benefit to society?

Surely it has. But you are compensated for it, because it has a financial benefit for some company.
You're citing information from two different studies that could very well have used different methods for counting lemmas. The text in between the two bits you quoted illustrates the extent to which this is the case: Alongside your study of 20-year-olds finding that they recognize ~42,000 lemmas, there's an earlier study of people about the same age finding that they recognize between 12,000 and 17,000.

The magnitude of that difference (250-300%!) should serve as a stark illustration of just how hazy these estimates are, even within a language.

Between languages, it gets even more difficult. It's very hard, possibly impossible, to come up with a single standard for what counts as a word that doesn't favor one language over another. For example, I wouldn't be surprised if you could engineer a comparison that says that English has more words, and also one that says that German does, simply by changing how you deal with agglutination. Or, if not that, then certainly agglutination and polysemy together.

On the other hand the pirates played the game without problems once they circumvented the proctection (a week?) after the game release.

SmartGit has a brilliant implementation of the reflog.

The Git command line reflog is just a list of hashes and messages. If you're not sure which of those commits is the one you want, it's a fairly laborious process to dig through them. What if you have several commits with the same message, as will happen if you've rebased or amended any commits?

In SmartGit, you simply click the Recyclable Commits checkbox in the Log view, and now everything in the reflog shows up in the log tree, just like any other commit. You can see immediately the parent of each reflog commit, and to see what you changed, just click one of them as you would any other commit in the log. SmartGit shows the differences immediately.

Same thing for stashes. After all, stashes are really just commits by another name. Click the Stashes checkbox and they show up in the log too.

SmartGit is full of features like this where something cumbersome on the command line is straightforward and easy. I've used it for years and recommend it highly.

I went through the very same kind of issues with note taking. I was looking for a portable format, not depending on any 3rd party service that stores my data on some unknown format in a server somewhere, simple to use and customize.

After trying almost every application out there, and being a developer myself, I ended up writing a minimalist package for the Atom editor that I called "second memory". Base text format is markdown, it includes grammar / syntax highlight, and some "nice" and simple features like TODO items, stars, and some text widgets. I use it together with markdown-preview package and syncthing for keeping notes in sync across all my devices.

> Most package management systems have one additional layer of resolution: a centralized pluggable repository location which can be configured to some default, and then lookups are made against that instead of against a url specified in the source code.

TBH, these two seems to contradict each other. You don't want to use your own domain, because that's a SPOF that you could lose control over. Whereas the centralized repository is a SPOF that you never had any control over to begin with. Seems strictly worse to me. And the nice thing about the chosen approach is that it can coexist with what you seem to be wanting: gopkg.in exists and is exactly that. A centralized, hosted (and free!) registry for go packages with its own registration and authorization process.

What I find so beautiful about the go-get solution is a) that you can build any other mechanism I know of on top of it - i.e. the user can decide on their own tradeoffs of convenience/scalability/security/future-proofedness… and b) that domain names already provide an elaborate, globally agreed upon namespace that can separate ownership from administration and hosting, with its own takedown-semantics… It's decentralized, existing, robust infrastructure. It gives full control to the user. And it solves a whole bunch of technical challenges already, for free. It means the Go team doesn't have to manage user accounts of package maintainers and it doesn't have to have policies of what code to accept or not accept - as it can't enforce them.

It's really quite brilliant, IMO.
In the US anyway you can report someone for tax evasion and receive a portion of what they recapture. All these people will get caught eventually.
