>There's almost nothing I learned during my 4 year college education that prepared me for any of my (tech) jobs post-graduation

Did you participate? I've always been an avid and successful self-teacher, but college gave me opportunities and goals that I would have as an individual "smart" person. Everyone I've met who "tried" in an educational setting has come out knowing more than when they went in.
Someone should tell that paper to stop believing in marketing. Since when don't Google do evil?
Seems interesting. Very open. A great opportunity for someone looking to implement an idea they've been stewing on.
I don't use a Pentax, but you can't do that on a Sony either (or Canon, Nikon and actually even on most professional cinema cameras, because those typically don't have focus motors).
That's what a lot of sources in the US say, but, when they say, "drink", they mean "standard drink", which is this quasi-mythological beverage that one never encounters in real life.

I honestly think that it's negligent on the part of public health folks to continue the practice. Saying "Drinking more than 2 drinks in X time will cause you to be legally impaired" is actively encouraging people to unwittingly drive drunk in a culture when a typical ABV for beer is about twice what it was when those standard were originally calculated, and non-highball cocktails typically contain at least two shots of liquor.

"Unit" is so much better a term.
I don't think it's a requirement, but I'm pretty sure mine's helped me get hired, both for freelance and full-time gigs. I've definitely had interviews where it seemed like they were already sold on me before the interview even started.

> Only devs would care about another devs portfolio (in my opinion).

It's often devs who perform some of the interviews ;)

Also, my portfolio has quite a bit more content then you'd ever want to put in a resume. I don't feel like there's any need to limit it to 1-2 pages, so it has 90+ projects with pictures and 1-3 paragraphs of text describing each one. I think that has to have some impact, even if only on a subliminal level.
That's funny. When reading the title I was expecting a post giving tips to build good content for a portfolio (e.g. what kinds of project should be highlighted more than others, how to balance different skills, etc), but it exclusively focuses on styling/designing the website. Nobody else in the comments seems surprise so it's probably me :)
You're still talking about wealth like it is relative and not an absolute. You're just comparing modern wealth to early 20th century wealth.
The significance you are missing is tools are being developed for a world where everything occurs in an anonymous internet marketplace. If you are running a business based on anonymity, the traditional legal system is of no use to you. This type of system that was dreamed of for decades - an anonymous world which is free from government intrusion. The internet, crypto, decentralized marketplaces, and smart contracts are just the enablers to building such a world. Just look at the dark net markets as an example. Thats a basic setup. People are building new tools to allow for more complex transactions.

Fears aren’t rational. They are emotional. It will take a long time to address it with just your thoughts. A better way is to try to address the emotions and fix that. You have a lot of choices here. Some examples are a therapist, spirituality, meditation, a coach, flying lessons, or flying repeatedly until the fear goes away. Trying to solve emotional stuff with intellect is not the most effective way imho.
A single drink generally is more than one "unit". E.g., a (British) pint of beer is 2-3 units.

One drink per day (skipping some days) is 14 units per week.

Two drinks a day is easily some 30-40 units per week.

On average I'd imagine private jets to be higher risk but with a wider spread than commercial airlines -- but if you can pick the best maintenance crew, best pilots, etc., then you can select the lowest risk in a way that's not going to be possible travelling commercially.
I've heard this before: what is F#'s main draw over other functional languages in finance? Is it simply that it comes already bundled with .NET?

Your bullets all line up with what Synack and Cobalt.io are doing. How do you differentiate from the two of them, who themselves are already competing hard with each other? Both of them strictly curate their test base, allow for strictly-private programs, allow for researchers to work closely with firms for resolution, can launch and operate your whole program, and charge per finding.
To your first point, you may be interested to read Bryan Caplan’s “The Case Against Education.” He makes a very strong, quantitative case that education is primarily a signaling device.

For instance the difference between 3.5 years without graduating and 4 years + graduation is immense, whereas in a non-signaling model, they should have very similar outcomes.

Do you have any advice for someone in a senior IC role to actually get people setting the processes to shift their thinking from optimizing general metrics and making everything more homogenous, into a model where everything is contextualized (like your examples) and then we draw out higher-level patterns by analyzing the common traits that organically arise as a result of contextual solutions?

I also can't scroll at all in Chrome on Windows. If it helps, when I mouse over one of the underlined words like "developer" then the outside border goes orange and strangely enough I can scroll a bit.
I think most times, the individual developers are not the ones that choose to do Agile (or which flavor of Agile), and in many cases, they have no agency to change anything. So when you're in a situation with "hour long standups," you're not really able to do anything about it, due to the business people who are really in charge not wanting to change.
I’ll throw mine in the ring: http://jennerhanni.net

I started out on Jekyll on Github Pages because I needed a place to put photos and I don’t use Facebook, Flickr, Google Plus, etc. It’s super simple, serving the photos on Smugmug for a yearly fee, and it works just fine for friends and family when I send a direct link. It feels manageable in a way that social media (for me) often doesn’t.

I’m moving from hardware to software and it’s been a struggle to organize my resume and portfolio. I’m pleased with how it looks now with the sorting by category.

And, of course, I had to go and get a writing hobby where nobody wants you to post anything online because they want first publishing rights. So I have a page where I guess I’ll just list things I’ve exhibited or published when I really want to post the poems or articles themselves. It’s the writing version of “but the client insists this remain closed source” when I just want to share and geek out about everything I make. :(
I'm not sure exactly what your needs are, but Bleachbit seems be pretty similar in features.
I will tell you what works for me. Dont try to make one language to fit all cases, but try to use the best tech for each scenario.

In the past you had to learn a lot of languages and platforms and you still need it in some cases. But for my particular needs, i've managed to narrow down mostly to 2 languages: C++ and Swift. But thats for me, for others it will be different things.

But dont try to find the perfect language.. dont be a hostage to any tech suffering with stockholm syndrome with a given piece of tech.

This weird trend of one tech-fits-all started back in the nineties with Java, with things comming out straight from the religions like 'evangelism', and calling people infidels for trying different things.

Maybe whats work for me will work for you too. I bet you can narrow down to 2 langs to do almost anything you want.

About C++ vs. Rust; Fear not. Modern C++ can basically 'anotate lifetime' in methods contracts by using smart pointers and move when you need. I prefer the C++ approach, have no problems with leaking, lifetime or whatsoever and deal with very large codebases programmed by large teams.

But of course, if i were to create a program to control a nuclear reactor or a submarine i would consider using Rust or Ada. But particularly i find Rust programming more stressful than C++ without (almost) nothing to gain. And on the language design aspect where Rust is superior to C++, i prefer to use Swift if i can, which i consider 'a better Rust'.

By the way in a lot of cases you might consider using Rust or C++, you can use the joyful Swift. Using a powerful language with less of a burden.

TLDR; Where some people will try to use Rust for everything, i prefer to use a Swift/C++ combo, and given you can mix both without much problem in a single program, i hardly need or miss anything else.

If we're talking about UK, a pint of a stout is 568 ml at 5%+, which is 3 units.
Humans have general intelligence, that's why they recognize lane dividers and can tell where a truck ends, we kind of expect such things. Also why inebriated people can drive somehow (of course they shouldn't but I'm making a point).

Maybe driving on the roads we have now with computer vision alone needs strong AI, maybe simpler standardized roads and vehicles are needed, who knows. I think that strong statements about this should be backed by evidence, not gut feeling. And I'd like to see that evidence coming from the company that promises their customers their cars have all the hardware they need.
> It sounds like the source for the leak is an insider

Possible. Then again, why public open protests in one case and a clandestine leak in another? Does it imply protesting some things would be tolerated much easier by the management than the other - like protesting working with US government is OK, but protesting working with Chinese government is risky?

> This quote also paints it as a very hush-hush project

Possible. Though not that hush-hush anymore, so let's see what happens now.
Clickbaity title. Google is just abiding by local law, like pretty much al companies in China do.

I get it's not taking a "moral high ground", but probably no (or very few) companies do this when it comes to abiding to Chinese censorship.
Holy crap, that's so cool. :) Thanks!
>> These things are within, and subordinate to, the legal system.

Small point: They are not within. They are private arrangements in addition to the legal system. They are creations of contract between individuals and represent the wills of only those individuals. The legal system is created by legislatures and legal societies (bars), bound by ethical rules, and are representative of the people generally.

The distinction is important. People should not think that arbitration committees or VISA's dispute resolution process is in any way part of the legal system. The legal system belongs to the country, to the democracy. Arbitration services belong only to themselves.
Ellie Soutter Wiki – Biography – Age – DOB
In some previous team, I realized that some people working on very long tasks just gave bullshit updates. What they explained was interesting, it gave a sense of progress, and they communicated well.

Too well perhaps, their small talk was on super minor or even unrelated stuff that they saw the previous day.

They were doing mainly exploratory work, and it made no sense to bring on board other people before they settled on a direction themselves.

I think ultimately a one size fits them all approach only “works” when the people on the fringe also play the game and bullshit (in a good light) their way around.
In a private school where the policy is clearly stated and the parents signed their agreement, this is a perfectly legal.

Cool portfolio! Wow that time-shifted comment patent is cool stuff, doesn't every social video platform used time-shifted comments or does your patent cover a specific nuanced scenario within this space, cause it seems many companies do video streaming chat like the way the patent described e.g. twitch, Facebook live, etc.
> trying to move her parents to the US so that they have access to US care

Why would you have to move to the US for that, can't you just go to your favourite American city and walk into a hospital?
I also play guitar, I know my music theory, I can play chords on a piano, but if anyone asked me to play a song - outside of doing an improv. chord progression - I'd be able to do so. I still fumble trying to find the right notes quickly enough to play music. I feel it would be insulting to other pianists if I called myself a pianist - even though I play piano almost daily. My office has a grand piano in the lobby and I'm the first one in every morning by a few hours, giving me time to dabble with it alone.

Dunning-kruger doesn't prevent them from being able to explain things (even if not necessarily in "formal terms", there are plenty of talented musicians out there who don't know a lick of music theory!) or perform at levels that an unpracticed person could. Almost anyone who picks up a guitar could learn a basic version of Deep Purple or Ironman or the intro riff to Enter Sandman in a few hours, barring any physical limitations. But you're not going to be cranking out improv solos or a jazz chord progression without any practice whatsoever.

To ask again, in your own words, what are the differences between a master pianist, a pianist, and someone who can play the Hot Cross Buns melody? I personally feel there is an important distinction, if only to convey information accurately, between saying "I am a master pianist", "I can play piano", and "I am learning to play piano."

As a "researcher" I don't find your vulnerability levels too informative. I'd suggest you use or adapt the bugcrowd taxonomy: https://bugcrowd.com/vulnerability-rating-taxonomy

That is a model that has been shaped from the experience of many programs and has a clear, "yes this is an issue but no you're not getting paid" level which is important for avoiding thousands of time-wasting reports such as non-perfect HTTPS headers, etc.

I'd be interested in hearing how you plan to deal with duplcate reports. This is an area that hackerone does better than bugcrowd. Hackerone is more interested in disclosure and getting reports to a point where they can be disclosed. If a bug is marked duplicate you are given access to the original report which prevents falsely marking duplicates to avoid bounties.
I understand many writers are desperate for views, but I'm looking forward to this nasty spreading imperative title infection to die out (which it will, but not soon enough). "What you need to know about ..." (you have no idea what my knowledge requirements are) "You don't need ..." (you won't know what I need until you find out something about me, dolt). "Why you should ..." (until you've at a minimum skimmed 'Ethics for Dummies', which your 1st-year-uni-essay-think-piece betrays no evidence of, you're not qualified to inform me what I 'should' do).

This rash is particularly prevalent in the prissy modern etiquette columns that dominate so many alleged newspapers (I'm looking at you, Graun), but the tech sector is also succumbing apace.

Now Kant: there was a guy who knew how to construct titles. He did not write "What you need to know about the categorical imperative", nor "Why you must critique pure reason".
Redislabs has hardware recommendations[1] for production environments. Shouldn't be hard for devs to look it up and implement it.

If you'd like a high-level discussion of why the BEAM was designed as it was, check out my recent post: https://dockyard.com/blog/2018/07/18/all-for-reliability-ref...

The TL;DR is: reliability was the main goal, and using isolated processes which can react to each others' failures, even when running on separate machines, was the way they found to get reliability. This turned out to be nice for scalability also.
I think it's easy for teams to feel this way depending on the mechanics of who's running standup. One of the biggest values I see for standup is talking through what you're working on. This opens communication with other engineers, especially if they default to working in isolation on their projects (even more so for remote engineers). I can't count the number of times we've had actionable changes to direction from just 5 minutes of standup that result in code reuse, uncovering unknown unknowns, etc.
To comfort you these probably aren't the 1%, it's more likely the 0.1% or maybe the 1% of the 1% you see.

1. Agile is not personally great for programmers.

2. Agile is good for managers.

3. Managers run the business and make sure it exists.

4. Programmers need the business in order to have a job.

5. Agile is therefore good for the business,

6. And therefore Agile is good for Programmers, though not personally.

Does the person with the conch plank, or everybody else? Both seem effective....
It's worse than "assembly line worker." For that, a hyper-specific set of actions is created, and then commoditized workers are inserted into this rigid process. The spec/actions rarely change over time.

In "what did you do yesterday?" stand-ups, the worker is expected to establish their own personal direct actions in order to meet outside expectations and goals set by their manager/team. And then every morning someone is analyzing those actions for "blockers." A "blocker" is either a case where the manager didn't communicate effectively and/or didn't set effective scope/milestones, or else it's a code word for "you're doing it wrong" and gives the manager a change to micro-manage the specific actions the worker is taking day-to-day.

In any case, I firmly agree with you that the core message is "I don't fucking trust you even an inch."

If you want to see a bad engineering manager's brain misfire on cue (if they are of this micro-manager type), ask them why the product manager or designer on your team isn't expected to time-box and pre-estimate his/her spec. writing tasks.
My brother-in-law is an electrician, and he could tell you stories for days about the horrible and unsafe practices he sees nearly every day of the week in people's homes where they've done their own work.

Everything thinks they're smart, they can do things safely, etc., while only for a much smaller subset of people is that true.
I like that you count their power in souls, a little like landowners in feudal Russia trading in dead souls.

Back to the point, I think the purchasing power of a state entity combined with its control over the market is a powerful combination, but also the dysfunctional US market seems to reward healthcare insurers for paying more - they don't care after all if they get ever more money from the poor suckers who have to pay for insurance, they can take a larger cut of a larger pie.

I'm not saying insurance markets can't work (someone cited Switzerland above), just that the current US insurance market is out of control and needs solutions (like Obama's solution which has now been wrecked, or single payer which works well elsewhere). What the US has currently doesn't work, fails to serve much of the population, and even then is much more expensive than equivalent services elsewhere.
Ok, so I don't think I've ever worked in a company that fully implemented Agile effectively but in a previous job one team decided to just use an irc channel and at a set time everyone would post a short one line statement about what they're currently working on. Outside of our "standup" we used the irc channel as a general shout for help when we had problems and we didn't know who could help on. We didn't get a chance to run it for too long since the guy who set it up got laid off after a few months but I thought it was pretty straightforward idea.
Because you work in the team.
When i first started looking, there were none in the area below 170k that were what I needed in a home. None of them were in good condition and all required extensive work. I ended up with a 219k home, which was a bit more than I wanted.

Unfortunately, all new construction in the area is for 300k+ homes. Same with rental apartments.
>just business class

I find this laughable. I thought it was common understanding that business class prices were significantly disconnected from the prices that the average person pays for a flight
But they likely haven't actually started anything. I think that's the worst part about standups is they require everyone to get up and say something. If you've got nothing to say, then you end up saying idiotic stuff like "yesterday was meetings". (I do also think that having everyone take a turn at speaking is one of the good things about them, because otherwise it's really easy for one or two people to take the whole time talking about their thing, and a shyer person might not be able to get in a word that they otherwise really would have wanted/needed to.)
That is wrong, Actor systems have a property called "Unbounded nondeterminism" nondeterministic TM have only bounded nondeterminism.

Not a drug, of course, but don't leave physical exercise off your list.
If there are questions on the stand-up organize for them another meeting or make a note and get back onto it later. The original stand up should only be a place where you can flag that you cannot meet your deadlines or you have problems. If it has to be discussed another meeting has to be organized only with those people who are related to that problems. Others should go back to their tasks after the stand-up. I know also it is not easy to do this but when this works you start to love to go to standups.
