Here's also Github. It's resource-oriented instead of verb-oriented (like Telegraph), so we use Jor instead of Jo (both are provided by the same library).

Jor["users/fmontesi/repos"].get().then( response => ... );

Notice that using ["users/fmontesi/repos"] is the "alternative" syntax. If the resource path is a valid method name in JavaScript, e.g., "/users", you can just write this:

Jor.users.get().then( response => ... );

I'm still wondering what's the best way of offering resource paths. Using a string is fine, but another option would be to have an extension of JavaScript, like JSX in react, but that would add a dependency (on Babel, for example).
So we could do something like:

Jor.users/fmontesi/repos.get().then( response => ... );

Another option could be to use an in-between method, for example:

Jor.users._.fmontesi._.repos.get().then( response => ... );

But this looks a bit clunky. So the design space is a bit larger here. Mumble mumble. :-)
In addition, their company name couldn't be much more boring.
WebAssembly: How and why
I think a 30, 40, 50, 60 hour employee can be very different things. A 50 hour employee who isn't productive is clearly an issue. A 60 hour employee who is clearly burned out BUT productive is a problem too.

I don't think that hours are the first or only thing by which an employee can be judged. It's more about setting a standard and allowing the manager to monitor and enforce that based on the individual.

My experience might be a bit jaded. I work for a company that is "small", very close (many 15+ year employees). So, time spent "in the office" doesn't necessarily mean we're locked to our chairs and keyboards.
That's the age range it replaces X with. It conducts the query multiple times, across that range.

It makes sense if you just press "Go" when you visit the page (don't change anything). My first instinct was to replace X with an integer and you only get one result when you do that.

There is a similar debate about making wearing bicycle helmets mandatory. [1] One problem is basically that with cyclists wearing helmets, they and drivers around them might think that smaller safety margins are necessary. (Both physically as drivers drive closer to them and e.g., cyclists more likely to drive at unsafe speeds.)

I think the argument here is the same: the green padlock makes people feel too safe. I could easily buy an argument that if HTTPS was not highlighted prominently as a SAFE thing by the browser, people would pay more attention to other indicators such as the domain when browsing the internet.

As others have said, there is no single indicator that tells you who is winning a game of dota. Net worth gold difference is usually, but not always, the best default indicator of who has an advantage. Kills and Towers are also a good secondary indicator. However, there are times when all three of those usually reliable indicators aren't relevant.

You can see net worth gold difference by looking at the text that appears in the top center which normally say something like ">1k" for one of the two teams. Its something they recently just added to the spectator UI.

The sliders you mentioned on left usually show individual player net worth, so you can see where resources are being allocated on the team. The "observer" (a camera man I guess) picks which stats to overlay in the top left over the course of the game depending upon which single indicator is most relevant.

In the early game those sliders normally show "last hits/denies" per player, which is about collecting early game resources. In the mid/late game its usually net worth per player. In the late game it starts looking at a thing called "buyback status", which is an ability all players have to spend a lot of their resources to rejoin the game early after getting killed. Using "buyback" is very expensive, scales with networth, and has a 5 minute cooldown.

I think 100 miles is a little low. I don't keep good stats on my running, but a quick glance at this year's running stats (according to Strava) makes me think I've lately been getting closer to 1000 km in each pair of shoes.

But yeah I guess the real point you're making is that if I am actually using and wearing out my stuff, this isn't really a criticism meant for me regardless of the specific number of shoes I go through. (Though maybe I do have some life balance issues.)
I agree, but feel that this is something that only comes with experience. It's very easy as a new grad to not value your time as much as it's worth (imposter syndrome maybe?).

I signed a contract for $X salary for Y hours of work. If I work 1.5Y I never got paid $1.5X. That's a lesson most developers need to internalize.
There are fewer hours of work done at home now. The increase in leisure time reflects a decrease in total labor: income-earning labor, labor around the house, etc. Figures in [1] break it out a bit, although the years-reflected are a bit different than I used above. Search for "60.9" to find the relevant table.

I think it is related to competition. Lack of competition brings complacency of executives, who think they can get free money for shareholders without having to reinvest into innovation. (And I think that was carlmr's point.)

Of course, if you are bigger, the more likely it is that there is no competition at certain times.

AT&T Tied to Supposed Startup Group Against Net Neutrality in California
"as consumers demand cheaper clothing, electronics, and other goods, manufacturers are spending less to make them, which sometimes means they fall apart more quickly"

Oh if only it were that simple.

I find that even the premium and more expensive makes are being made just as cheaply meaning they don't last as long either. Or when a simple, and formerly replaceable, part fails it can't be replaced for reasonable cost.

Even the length of time spares are made available has shrunk dramatically, if available at all. No doubt as now manufacturers insist on constantly changing models for no reason other than visuals.
My MBP only has 8 cores but often times during the day it locks up and blows up a hurricane of fan noise. Why? Idiotic Jamf management software and a virus checker that never finds anything. Some days you only get 1 core for work when it gets stuck and have to reboot to get it back. It's not always the computer, OS or the software you use.

Don't worry, the SEC has now declined to approve two separate attempts at a Bitcoin-based ETF, both times citing the extensive manipulation of Bitcoin markets as one of the reasons. I don't see them changing their attitude given that rampant market manipulation is the main thing keeping Bitcoin alive at all right now.
Agreed, and when it does inevitably happen, we should remember that it worked.

Because it's open sourced, we can be virtually certain that it's not built into the software, and if it is you need to prove it. Which would fix it, or obsolete it.

Someone will have to ask the security detail handling custody, or one of the other thousands of people who could potentially be involved in trying to rig an election.

It's finally cheap enough to have the transformation of it, from raw compounds into an engineered SoC for tallying votes, livestreamed 24/7 and operated by openly auditable robots.

Convince me that would cost more than one fighter jet.

I am mostly talking about games. Still, a good PC from 2010 holds up well, but low end PC’s from 2010 could have as little as 2GB of RAM which would have issues with a modern OS and a wide range of applications. Other issues where anemic SSD storage space, a HDD from 2010 holds up ok, but SSD’s tended to just barely work.

Not much to say about the complex implementation itself; seems pretty good, and it's as 'bare-metal' as you can get in browser javascript. It's not a great abstraction, and very little error checking.

However, I really like this literate programming style. You've got live editing, and legible output, in the form of little TeX blocks. It's a really nice way to define, describe, and teach little libraries like this. Well done.
A common fear with Open Source software is "What if someone takes my work and profits from it?". But in my opinion, that's the point of Open Source! If you don't want others to profit from your code, make it proprietary!

But any attempt to make software open source, but still make sure that I get licensing fees or whatnot if someone makes a profit from it, is in my opinion seriously misguided.

With Open Source, our business model should be that lots of people work together to build an ecosystem; no-one profits directly from selling the code, but everyone profits from using the code. Some people contribute to the project because they offer consulting services, some people profit because they use it for their job, etc.
> I started "repairing" the project but there're no tests to check whether my adjustments are correct. I'm so frustrated and depressed by it.

Even the worst projects tend to have logging. You can hook into that, and whilst it's not great, you can test that correct log messages are made.

The TDD book, does in fact step you through examples with no tests and show you how to hook them in.

It isn't quite as hopeless as you think it is. In fact this is the kind of system I quite enjoy working on.

Confirmed: Mahama to Contest NDC Flagbearer Position
I feel that there is a grain of truth here in
pknerd's words. I don't have a citation, and sure, my story is just another anecdotal data point; but I'd like to add it here anyway and I suspect that there are many others like me.

I've been in software engineering for many many years and have worked for a number of employers in different parts of the world. The upshot of all that experience is that I know, with great clarity, what I want and what I do not want. I _have_ in the past, moved 17,000 km to take up a role but those days are behind me - there are only so many times you can pull off an enormous undertaking like that!

I've worked remotely (on and off) for years and have settled on preferring to stay remote for the remainder of my career. Whilst my life is pretty flexible and _could_ move pretty much anywhere, I have no desire to move near to the location of an employer for on-site work just because they happen to be in a particular location. However, I'm more than happy to put in the effort to visit occasionally, especially when starting a new project or a new team is being assembled.

I'm also practising Geographic Arbitrage which goes hand in hand with remote work and is a significant contributor to my financial survival strategy. Having lived in major world cities with grossly inflated asset bubbles (real estate), I know now that I will never do that again, and continue to actively move in the opposite direction.

The counter risk, of course, is that there are little or no employers situated away from "power house" cities, and that I'd be pooched if the remote work dries up. Fortunately, I've managed to get by so far.

What I genuinely find odd though, is the thought process of companies that are absolutely dead set against remote roles, but happily base their businesses upon large, successful and significant software projects like Linux or Rails or Node.js which are developed by huge distributed teams of remote software engineers living all over the world.

Why do people buy things?
Yeah that seems more reasonable, depending on what you pay for them. Runner's Guide says 300-500 miles.

And Yes! wearing out stuff is the goal! Especially athletic equipment. My niece (8yo) just wore out the back tire on her tiny bike, just wore the tread right off from use, and the cousins (all older) high-fived her and told her You Go Girl! She was very proud.

Time for a new bike anyway - she's grown some. Auntie went right out with her to buy one and now she's back on the road.
The key here is that TDA is packaged into an application that is designed explicitly for use by practitioners. All of the underlying math (and you know there is lots of it in TDA) is abstracted. What is shown is the groups and the atomic level explains (this group is here for these reasons e.g. they received albuterol upon admittance). Your instinct is correct, but that is what is interesting about this case - the hospital, without a single data scientist, was able to to achieve this with only slick SQL skills and engaged doctors.

Hello,
Yes, I am asking you for your unyieldingly honest and critical feedback that the internet and this community is such a great resource for.

I’ve been working on a side project for the past year - a “book” that I’d like to complete and publish to the world (for free on the internet). Before then, I would like as much feedback as I can get in order to revise.

This “book” is a coloring book about math that is both digital and on paper.
Web version: http://coloring-book.co
Printable PDF: http://coloring-book.co/book.pdf

On paper, the reader can color in patterns that help illustrate the mathematical concepts presented.
The web version brings these illustrations to live in interactive animations.

Your critical, constructive feedback about anything ranging from writing nitpicks to design or content structure, or anything in between would be so appreciated!

Please comment away or email me at colorByMath@gmail.com or leave feedback in this form: http://coloring-book.co/form

So, are you suggesting that the company has an overtime policy (regardless of exemption status) in an effort to reward any extra time put in? I don't disagree in the least. But, that would still need to be reviewed to prevent abuse. Much in the same way a 35 hour employee's work would need to be reviewed to ensure they aren't being unproductive.
I second this.

Not only is the salary lower, but food etc. is way more expensive in general.

Hey if you see this can you answer one more question:

How much abuse was your high availability product delivering to these cards in terms of writes? Was it something like a video recorder, database, cryptocurrency, or some other application that did large amounts of write I/O?

I ask because we're about to ship something that uses SD cards, but the I/O is very low. It's a network appliance and doesn't do anything locally that is high write throughput.

I have had really good experiences with "Who is hiring" – from meeting interesting independent contractors that have heavily influenced projects to making my best technical hire ever.

When hiring I've used a mix of approaches – job boards, recruiters, HN. HN doesn't produce a lot of volume, but anecdotally, the candidates often get through initial screenings because they are generally both technically proficient and well rounded (from a stack standpoint). With other channels I find a lot of spam and/or mismatches on stacks.
I think your example actually proves the point.

Everything your doctor said has been known and codified in medicine for close to 100 years. So while the specific definitions may be missed, it's still followable for a lay person, because it's connected to concepts they get (cell, disease, antibody, intravenous, maybe even receptors.) If you asked an average adult to translate that sentence, I bet it would come close to your doctor translation, minus the side commentary on costs. Certainly a doctor in another field, say, a podiatrist or even just a first year resident, can follow along with what the immunologist said.

Whereas software is such a vast body (pun intended?) That nothing translates. DevOps interns, analytics architects, experience designers, and black hats have entire worlds of jargon to decode. But people pretend all the time it's all just software and if you're good at Angular you'll be good at embedded computing or if you're good at data modeling you can pick up machine learning.
