If you look into it a bit, he’s a bully — quote-tweeting people to insult them, lobbing f-bombs at people for what could be a civil disagreement, and so on, all while proclaiming a moral high ground.

But.

No matter how deserved the ejection was, I would not want to see an apology like this expand to include a list of complaints against a member. That would be stooping to their level. Keep it classy and avoid the details.
I tried exactly that a few weeks ago and couldn't get to the messages interface.
Moreover, regarding "Russian hacking" and given things like the OPM hack and a loss (including executions) of intelligence assets in China, it is strange there is no equal or greater worry about China hacking.
Start a folder (or even a single file) for code snippets. If you want it accessible on many machines, put it in Dropbox, or a Github repo, or whatever you like. A separate "Evernote for code" is the last thing you need.

Personally, I have "snippets.org" file in my "wiki/" subfolder on Dropbox.
This is basically what Alphanym does, though it presents the nickname field conditionally, to optimize the sign up flow for fewer fields whenever possible.
I see an extreme focus on GPA, even employers considering that score during hiring. This is fairly alien to the other Western cultures I've sampled.

Also the latest "taboo" is discrimination on intelligence. You can not help it that you were born below the IQ Bell curve. "You just gotta work harder for it" is like telling an overweight person to "just stop eating so much". Difficulty learning new material puts you at an eternal disadvantage, with no way to catch up to what smart people are learning in their teens and early twenties.

The big five openly discriminate on intelligence. Intelligence and aptitude is also correlated with your upbringing (Did you have smart parents to guide your academic career and interests? Were they rich enough to help put you through a good college?).

For all the renewed interest in identity politics and combating discrimination, intelligence is really the odd one out. High school teachers berate you for something that isn't your fault, it is commonly accepted to call out your low IQ, no matter how much you want to work for a tech company -- even if they favor women, poor people, minorities, war veterans, the disabled -- you are not going to get hired to fill some neurodiversity quota.

The ease with which the left ridicules, stigmatizes, and marginalizes right politicians (Bush & Trump) and those that vote for them is astounding to me. "Those idiot low-educated racists ruined it all! They are not smart enough to vote rationally!". Change "low-intelligence" with any other protected status and such language becomes vile and primitive.
I was there recently and found it pretty empty, but the key was I think that I didn't go into any of the "famous" towns along the coast such as Positano.

Also I think there is a very periodic jump in tourism during specific European holiday periods which are best avoided (Especially for americans the idea that whole countries all have multiple weeks of holiday effectively at the same time is probably easy to forget)
The most interesting part is adding an inclusive CoC and then strictly exclusive clauses to the license... Extra drama.
A Tilted Playing Field (2015)
After reading this I am quite glad that we made the decision to leave Slack in our company. Moves like these seem either desperate or disconnected from reality to me.
Excuse my portion of scepticism, it's not the fact that a "12 year old" built this, sure anyone can learn how to code and we can't know how much help this person got along the way. But it's rather the person's language when writing plain text, here in the comments for example. It doesn't feel adolescent but more grownup to me ... But maybe it's just me realising my own shortcommings as a 12 year old, as I only was playing with my friends and the odd computer and video game.
You could try doing some "ice breaker" games if the size of the class allows it. Maybe your students are just to shy to speak up. These are usually short sessions gently forcing people to say something loudly at the beggining of the lecture. Good luck!
Well, not anymore.
Yeah my man, I seriously don't know what to tell other than fasting works. Your metabolism isn't a something that breaks and is not fixable, and "getting sick of fainting" isn't a fucking excuse.

If you're fainting, you're doing something wrong with your diet. You either getting too little from something, or too little.

I seriously hope this video can lead you to a better lifestyle. and sorry if I sounded too harsh, lowkey it's targeted to myself as motivation.

For Big-Data Scientists, ‘Janitor Work’ Is Key Hurdle to Insights
I used to work in the US as a perf engineer, and now live in Europe(Denmark). I made a conscious choice to live here despite a drastic cut in pay. Europe just does not pay anywhere near what US does. Unless this changes, majority of top tech talent will always be in the US.

Want top notch Cyber Security in Germany? Start by paying well for the engineers... then may be they want to stay.
It's also possible that, as a foreigner, you simply were less aware of crappy behavior because the culture was unfamiliar. A lot of the details can get missed or be misunderstood.

(Or, alternately, they failed to grasp how smart you were because you were foreign, so they left it alone. Which might be the same thing you are saying.)
from my experience it isn't "the role we don't hire into" - it is "the role we typically don't hire into" :) I.e. the former is just a hi-tech version of the dealers' "we don't sell cars below MSRP".
This. If I had an opportunity (like a few very small cities in my country) to basically make 3-6 months rent from renting out my place for two or three weeks during a certain period, then that would be pretty fantastic. I could afford a good holiday every year during that period then.
No in fact it doesn't. American households are in tremendous shape compared to many of their peers. The household debt burden is at a 15 1/2 year low (household debt as a share of disposable income). [1]

Unlike the fake boom of 2004-2008, this one isn't built on a large expansion of household debt. Businesses have levered up some, however business profits are at an all-time high and debt accumulation began to decline in the most recent quarter (the tax changes + Fed rate policies should continue to push toward a decline; companies like Microsoft, Apple and others took on immense debt temporarily to use it to pay out profits to shareholders via debt rather than repatriate their cash at a high tax rate).

In fact, the single most interesting thing about this economic expansion, is that we haven't seen a big increase in household debt accumulation vs income, compared to the prior three major expansions (late 1980s, mid to late 1990s, and mid 2000s). That either implies consumers are skittish about unnecessarily taking on debt (trauma from the great recession, very plausible), or there's another very big leg left in this expansion (which would be fueled by debt).

"With personal disposable incomes at a $15.46 trillion annual rate in the quarter, the debt-to-income ratio dipped to 86%. That’s the lowest, by an admittedly small amount, since the fourth quarter of 2002. At the height of the credit bubble in 2008, debts topped at 116% of disposable income."

Household debt service payments as a share of disposable income is extremely low, near the lows of the last 40 years:

Care to share this finding. I worked at festivals with 40k people doing everything u can imagine and have yet to come cross anyone.

The ocr company presumably wouldn't either though.
Wow. When I saw your code, I thought to myself "yeah, but does it work when the socket is for a client?" Turns out, it does.

My only guess is that I was botching something else when I was digging into this a few years ago.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate you putting that together. This seriously changes a lot of what I work on. Thank you.

I'm not making a moral judgement, maybe 'pirate' was the wrong word. It probably was something like APKMirror, and my point was the chain of trust is broken (you have decide to trust that site and its provenance model) vs an HTTPS download from the Slack domain.
Just stepping by to say, congrats for shipping, congrats for posting ! Im 32 and will be posting my public beta next week !
Worse, it makes it not Open Source. One of the corner stones of both free software and Open Source is non-discrimination against persons, groups or fields of endeavor. Eric Raymond explains: http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=8106
It depends on whose side you're on. The term is used a lot in Australia at least by successful or wealthy people who feel that they're disliked or that people are trying to bring them down just because they're successful, but I think it's a lot more nuanced than that.

I think in general the average Australian doesn't care too much if others are successful or rich or whatever, but find it extremely distasteful for somebody to act as if business success or having a lot of money makes them more important than others, or more worthy of honour etc. So in my interpretation, snobby people would be much more prone to copping 'tall poppy syndrome' than a rich but humble person.

I assume this is fairly similar in NZ, but perhaps slightly different.

>> In particular, it details how small returns "don't move the needle".

You never want small returns. But when you can choose a small return over basically a near-zero chance of losing all your money, it isn't that difficult of a choice - or it shouldn't be.

This is really great news. Shipping and aviation are two sectors that contribute huge amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, but have traditionally been left out of climate change action plans.

Or go really off the beaten & easy path.

I just spent a year traveling North to South in West Africa, I can count the number of tourists I saw on two hands. It is breathtaking and well worth the visit, but it's also very difficult and demanding.

Should i go for MS or search jobs? (overseas)
I have worked with 3 startups as product developer since my graduation in India(2+ years), and now I wish to go abroad. But not sure about going for MS or directly search for jobs?

How should a person approach these issues according to the end goal, in my case, which is exploring other cultures and companies/startups and their methods in tackling the problems.
Feels very intuitive, the trick is to still be readable from a distance while the UI is not being used.

The elephant in the room is npm/Node on IoT devices (security, performance, and due to performance: cost of hardware).
I don't think this has been true for several years
"MIT license for other people" is not the MIT license. It's no longer Open Source.

The battle between two elites: the haves and have-yachts
Just wondering, if those guys can get away with this, what’s stopping us from doing the same in support of net neutrality?
Not necessarily. There is no reason why this calculation on the social graph cannot be done by a central entity on your behalf. As long as the results of the calculation are transparent, I see no problem with it.

The big problem is that organizations like FB or Google want to "own" the social graph. They won't let you (except in special cases) to play with it.
I don't think the Go 2 generics proposal amount to type classes;

From what I inferred from the proposal, contracts are structurally typed rather than nominally such that you don't have a location at which you explicitly denote that you are implementing something. Rather, the fact that a type coincidentally has the right methods and such provided becomes the implementation / type class instance.

Also; I didn't check this in a detailed way, but does contracts as proposed have the coherence property / global uniqueness of instances? I would consider that a requirement to call a scheme for ad-hoc polymorphism on types "type classes". In other words, Idris does not have type classes but Haskell and Rust do.
I’ll admit that I’m not knowledgeable about the German public sector, but I’d really love to see how they managed to save money.

I work primarily with digitization and efficiency, so I’m cursed in that I’m always thinking about cost efficiency. This is actually the primary drive behind my personal open source idealism. Since open source is customizable, we can cut away the clutter and focus on user experience and results.

But because of my background I can’t help but think about the man-hours they must have spent on the organizational implementation, and how many hundreds of millions of euro that must have cost them.

Maybe the German public sector is less digitized than we are, making the change lighter. Don’t get me wrong, we could certainly save money on licenses too. It’s just that the cost of doing it far exceeds the benefit, but I’d love to learn from Munich.

The cost of change is why I personally think hard switches (I did notice them calling it gradual on the wiki page, but I’d argue that it’s not if you swap OS before every other system is ready) are a mistake in enterprise. We’re gradually changing our plumbing to be more open, but we’re doing it so that nobody notices. Our MSSQL cluster is a good example, it’s currently necessary because of legacy software. In one or two license cycles I fully expect it to be replaced by open source however. If things go as planned then no-one on the business side is going to notice anything but the freed up funds.
How Weather Impacts Retail Sales and How Big Data Analytics Can Help
Same.

I used to keep getting lost in lots of moocs and finish none of them.

Although, now I use a habit tracker with a stopwatch and the goal for ticking off the habit is to atleast spend a minimum amount of time in learning one thing everyday.
I think it's more universal than that and it's not that no one cares about your problems, it's that they need to care about their problems first, and that's draining.
What specific display did you try this with? Maybe µLED displays will eventually be sensitive enough for use as 3d webcams or pupil tracking for AR/VR.

Capacitive touch screens in lenses can also track pupils using the shape of the eye.
>Americans don't have many kids now. There are lots of empty towns all across the country. We thus have plenty of housing. We could stop building today and be fine for decades.

But the empty towns also don't have jobs. It's not fine even now.
Obviously this depends on the field and on your baseline in the US. I suppose if you made $100k/yr here, then making 60k euro there would not be that big of a deal, even though taxes are much higher. But if you made $500-700k/yr here in total comp (a realistic proposition for senior engineers in hot fields), such a move would be foolish. Remember, we’re not discussing the low end of the market here.
Shipped with 98,although you could add it to windows 95 by installing IE5.
This also gave 95 the quick start bar with "show desktop" next to Start, if I remember correctly.
"in the EU" is false. There are many different countries and several of those do not accept handshake agreements as contracts at all.
Don't change your product based on one conversation.
I am struggling to find steady work. I had a fabulous job after my Masters in US, which I left to move overseas with family.

Was young and decided to start a company with a friend
which was shut down after quite a bit of coasting aimlessly. Tried another startup but didn't market it much hoping people will find it themselves since the product was good. (Lesson learnt !)

In the meanwhile, I developed a paranoia of flying which meant I could not go back to my old job, not to mention the visa hassles. Been freelancing for last two-three years and its just enough to put some food on the table and largess from parents is seeing me and my family through. All this took a toll on my health and I started developing classical anxiety symptoms (learnt about it later) and started worrying that something is seriously wrong with me medically. Still living with these although the frequency has gone down a bit.

Not enough money from a promising career guy (me) took a toll on all my relationships especially my spouse. I haven't really spent on any hobbies or have effectively killed all my interests as they all require money.

I am still trying to keep myself updated with latest technologies but since I do not have regular work to show of to potential employers and probably little big of ageism, its not getting easy to get any interview calls. Thinking of trying to get into teaching as it might be something I can possibly be hired for.
I think people fail others in that sort of situation because they have to prioritise their own problems first, and they forget a plan to aid another, or run out of time, etc. As you said, self-sufficiency is important, and getting any help from others is a bonus.
Slack is ludicrously chuggy for basic operations. Why does it take so insanely long to start up?

I agree with you. They are raping the planet with the best of them. If they truly wanted to make a difference they'd leave the oil where it is. This is nothing better than a gangster putting a little on the plate on a sunday.
I'm curious why your advice was so specific. Why Venice Beach?
There are some interesting points. And I do agree that outrage-driven clickbaitiness has too much become the norm.

But I'm somewhat bewildered by the sense of authorial entitlement. I'm reminded of a piece by someone at Salon, maybe 15 years ago, whinging about lack of respect from readers, and resulting emotional pain. Maybe it's just that I grew up in academia, where people might gut your latest work through a seemingly innocent question during a seminar.
I actually really like Azure. Orchestra and application insights have made incident support so much easier, and it’s only as lock-on as you make it.

I also worry because of the political climate. It’s extremely unlikely, that the relationship between the EU and the US will really go bad, but we have contingency plans for things you wouldn’t believe, so naturally we have one for Azure.

No. They are (well, briefly were) distributing it under new terms, which meet all their obligations under the plain MIT terms. You fundamentally misunderstand how licensing of copyrighted work works. Read the text of the MIT license and observe how the new terms don't contradict them. This is specifically the purpose of the MIT license - to allow incorporation into more restrictively licensed works.

They don't own copyright to the code, its respective authors do, but they have a license to it (MIT) and are free to distribute and use the code as long as they meet the requirements the license puts on them. Which they do.

That this whole shitstorm was monumentally stupid go-proprietary-in-a-fit-of-zeal is another thing.
>How do you get to that? Norway has extremely tight immigration policies. They hardly let anybody in.

That is a myth (or propaganda). Norway immigration population stands at 16.8%. For example the US immigration population is under 15%.
Do kids really do their own science fair projects? We have different rules of ownership for age-appropriate levels of mentorship.

Also, I and likely you come from a different generation (I'm aged late 30s) where my parents knew nothing about coding and I genuinely had to learn everything on my own reading books at a library when my parents would drop me off.

I only had access to a very expensive family computer where my parents would freak out if I changed something on the fancy appliance they poorly understood and essentially every language other than qbasic needed a pricey proprietary compiler costing hundreds of dollars.

These days with the accessibility of the internet, explosion of open source, craigslist laptops perfect for learning going for under $75 and the commonality of programming as a stable career, it wouldn't surprise me to find children living in say, the silicon valley with programmer parents who successfully get their child excited about programming early.

It's a different set of circumstances and a 12 year old able to write graphics demos doesn't sound that implausible.

Redis modules and the Commons Clause
Electric planes still have a few challenges ahead but basically technical progress seems to make short haul electrical flight feasible within the next decade.

The reason this is being pursued by so many companies is that electric planes solve a lot of problems and represent an enormous disruption to the aviation industry. Modern air planes are very complex and expensive to operate and need a lot of maintenance. The cost of operating them is completely dominated by fuel cost, maintenance overhead, and expensive taxes and fees at airports related to noise and pollution.

With electrical engines, all of this changes. They are light and simple and tend to have a long operational life with very low maintenance requirements. Recharging batteries is extremely cheap compared to burning tons of fuel (literally). Filling up an A321, which takes 24K liters of kerosene, will take you somewhere between 10 and 15K and gets you a range of around close to 8000 km. Most flights are much shorter than that meaning a lot of their weight and range is redundant. Also, you burn a lot of fuel on takeoffs and most planes need to get up high to get to an economical fuel burn rate to cruise. So you pay a huge price for getting all that weight up on every take off.

Electrical planes don't need to get up that high and can cruise efficiently at both low and high altitudes. Once cruising, operating them as a glider is actually feasible as well because you can safely turn the engines off and on again (unthinkable with a jet).
