In fairness, they’ve purchased a lot of other companies and software. I’ll bet much of the increase is in software or the acquisitions they’ve made.

Meeting with a team this month from Apple on a product purchased from the company I work for that (to my knowledge) had far fewer engineers—or at least engineers who would work with external engineers to the project.
That depends on what you think the definition of "white" is. The one you prefer --- "of various European origin" --- is not the only one, and is in fact ahistorical: several European ethnicities were not "white" until relatively recently.

I think people need to come to grips with the fact that there are definitions (obviously not the only ones but not the least important ones either) of "white" and "non-white" that boil down to "human" and "subhuman". That's not a thing I'm making up as message board rhetoric; it's a simple fact.
I heard somewhere SGI put a big chunk of iron/lead inside the case to make them heavier and add to the expensive impression when handling the machines.

Not sure if that was the case, or if it is just an urban legend?
It makes me suspect that the overfiting concerns on deep learning are correct.
All the net really does is bring cities closer together. Up until, say, 2001, there was a clear directional flow of information between cities. You could chart ideas originating in SF, LA, NY and then spreading to Europe and Asia. It would take about a year for some trend to circumnavigate the world and there was money to be made in leading the charge. The flow is gone now; ideas originate everywhere and flow rapidly from city to city through social networks in a matter of hours. A new pastry shows up in Shanghai on Monday and then becomes available in LA by Thursday and then, thanks to Instagram, explodes across NY, DC, Paris and London that weekend. These major world cities constitute the most important and powerful network on the planet and this network, augmented by social networking, makes each individual city that much more valuable.

This is what everybody talking about the death of distance and remote work doesn't get: cities are not about supply, they are about demand. This has been the case since Sumer was founded 7,000 years ago. These are the most desirable markets in the world. If you have something to sell -- including yourself -- and you can create demand in one world city and then drive that demand to other world cities then you will have a money printing machine. Corporations gather in cities because they are in fact the biggest consumers on the planet and they require all types of services -- from legal advice to market research to sophisticated technology -- and the one stop shop to buy these goods -- along with every other good -- is a world city.
I started on a Commodore PET 2001 in 1978, and wrote a horse racing game for my parents. Three horses, ASCII characters randomly going across the screen 0,1 or 2 spaces. Odds at the start and payoff calculated at the finish. My parents loved it! (OTB and racetrack fans). I then went on to a Vic-20 (1981), Amiga 1000 (1985) and eventually a 386 PC, a PowerMac PC (I got minix or other variant running on it), and then Linux, Mac, and PCs thereafter. The Basic Stamp in 1997 really brought back old coding to me with the addition of hardware tinkering. My fondest memories are the horse racing game, and plotting the 4 main moons of Jupiter on my Vic-20's thermal printer. Figuring out how to program those two programs started me on coding. Funny, I have always coded, but only as an employed coder for two years at one job. I program for myself, and when I can for work when needed (mainly technical computing).

I know what you said, because I read it, and even quoted it, but you're still insisting on talking in absolute terms, so I'm done with this. Enjoy your "choices".
Right but you shouldn't need to. In my proposed solution the browser could just make a separate, non-third party request for the font to icomoon.io and on load, if browser needs that font and doesn't already have it. It should get it from your OS provisioner (Google / Mozilla / Apple / Microsoft) directly and if they don't have it (or Icomoons public key) they could request it from Icomoon on your behalf. Or, if Icomoon is up to shady tactics, refuse the request.
Maybe you just saw a nice opportunity to make a reference.

But if you also downvoted me, maybe you missed both my pun (a capitalist should be able to assess the value of everything) and my point.

I experienced much more inconvenience as a developer working on MacOS, than I did on Linux. That's why I am asking this. It would be interesting to know, how many developers using Macbooks haven't even tried running desktop Linux in the recent years. There is no comparison, unless you are tied to Apple software.

In Britain, where people have arguably embraced contactless cards to a greater extent than individuals in other countries, researchers have routinely been able to copy the financial details of some cards, including the 16-digit card number and expiration date, by merely passing their own N.F.C. reader close to a person’s wallet.

There have been numerous other demonstrations of this as well.

Thinking about how to introduce my 6yr old to the world of programming I decided she is going to write her first code like I did - using BASIC on C64.

Luckily there are many JS C64 emulators online like this one https://virtualconsoles.com/online-emulators/c64/ so its a breeze to get started.

And of course her first program was

10 PRINT "HELLO PETRA"
20 GOTO 10

exactly 33 years after her dad made his first.

She also tried Scratch and like it but to me in order to write code you need to learn to "write" it.

FWIW I've writen about 60Kloc on a 2016 MacBook 12 (i.e. not "pro") and it turns out to have worked pretty well for me. All of my development is in Emacs, so I'm pretty keyboard-dependent.

That doesn't mean it's been great: I went through three of keyboards, and would be on my fourth except that the MB had an unfortunate water incident. So in two years I had almost two weeks of not having my machine available -- that's pretty bad!

New I've had a 2018 MBP for about three weeks and the keyboard is better (but the machine is a lot heavier) and so far no kbd failures. (The touchbar is pretty worthless to me but mostly harmless).

(Honestly if you're typing in a lot of code and just typing make and lldb the MB was a great ultralight machine. YEs, building our whole system took a while but mostly you're just ending and recompiling one module and it's still faster than most several-year-old machines, which in the Mac world could reasonably still be in use. It doesn't have the horsepower for those huge IDEs but I don't use them anyway. They seem to use more cycles than the compilers!)
My two favorite chapters were the ones where Dantès talks about building up immunity to toxic substances by ingesting miniscule portions over time, and the one where he recounts the time he was in the Orient and smoked a bunch of opium. Why didn't that make it into the movie?
There was a similar government study done on teacher graduates here in Sweden and it got the same results, through genders were reversed.

The conclusion they had is that by drop rates and gender segregation get amplified in every step between first year student to long term employee.
You can never go back, just as you can never step in the same river twice; the only way this can happen is if by doing so it enables something radically different that wasn't previously possible. Just as Windows was never really "defeated" by Linux or MacOS, but is gradually being rendered less relevant by smartphones.
This is why the "STEPS Toward the Reinvention of Programming" (a.k.a. 20k Lines of Code) Project was important. It was spearheaded by computing luminary Alan Kay with help from some very impressive researchers.

I haven't kept up with subsequent research the Institute has produced. I do know they had an aversion to producing software artifacts and were far more concerned with the written reports (which in some senses restricted the ability of amateurs like me to play with the interesting output by the group). I did play with OMeta (a meta-parser) and the COLA / Id code - which was enlightening!

I was surprised that they chose Make for the frontend assets, but sticked to SBT for the scala app. Wouldn't it make sens to have everything under one build system, _especially_ because SBT is an absolute pain to work with?

My use case would be to turn a 7 years old camera (which is still better than most phone cameras) into a WiFi networked camera so that when I shoot photos of items I'm selling on Ebay it directly uploads them to my home server (NFS/SMB).

We need a year or so to be sure. It took about that long before my last MBP started getting stuck keys and losing keys.

For what it's worth, I type like anyone else does - but I do it a lot. That keyboard was in terrible shape by year 2. I hope the new keyboards are fixed... I have to use one for work (it's issued by my employer).

It feels weird to not want a brand new Apple laptop. I was just so disappointed by that keyboard and the touch bar though.

A swing vote just refers to a voter whose decision cannot be accurately predicted. Not voting is as much a part of democracy as voting. Even in extremely formal and small settings ranging from national congresses to the EU, abstaining from casting a vote one way or the other is very much a viable decision in and of itself.
Make is a pretty decent way to put all your build commands under one very widely understood format. There are commands in there that run bash scripts, node, etc.

The full sentence is

> External devices can be attached as card reader overlays, deep-inserts inside the magnetic stripe slot, those that fit in the EMV slot (chip reader) and those that wiretap the physical communication line.

I believe the "those that fit into the EMV slot" and "those that wiretap the physical communication line" are two different types.

A skimmer in the EMV slot can still skim the mag-stripe. Wiretapping the communication line is used when the ATM/Payment terminal uses poor security between it and what ever its connected too.

A paper I co-authored about the possible optimal diet of late upper paleolithic humans in the South West of France showed that the primary constraint on their diet was fat. It was a long time ago, but as I recall the prevalent meat was roe deer, and that's very lean. Solving the linear programming problem for the nutrients showed that they needed nuts to get the fat content.

I also build CMake from source on Ubuntu (because they used to ship ridicously ancient versions and I have keep doing it since) and there is the possibility to use bundled versions of those dependencies.
Also, for a development tool I see nothing wrong with those dependencies, I do not have to redistribute all of this.

And for those compiling everything from source like Gentoo or FreeBSD ports users, I do not understand it because most of the time is spent on building gcc or clang anyway which is absolutely not optional.

California Cap-and-Trade Legislative Analysis 2017
Auctions Have Generated $4.4 Billion in State
Revenue. ARB has conducted 17 quarterly cap-andtrade
auctions since November 2012—generating
roughly $4.4 billion in state revenue. Beginning
January 1, 2015, transportation and natural gas fuel
suppliers were required to obtain allowances for
the GHG emissions associated with the combustion
of their fuels. Since transportation fuel suppliers
are not given free allowances, the number of stateauctioned
allowances increased substantially in
2015—resulting in auctions raising significantly
higher amounts of state revenue.

Mission pivot, I feel like a fraud
For years I’ve been working in a particular space. Built a name for myself. Got invited to speak at events etc. unfortunately, there wasnt much money to be made. I enjoyed building products, which kept giving me work from a totally different industry. It kept growing and I’ve been able to build a flow of work where I continue to build products but for a different audience/industry. It’s paying well so I wanted to switch my business from focussing on the previous niche, to this new one.

But I feel like a fraud. Am I abandoning this previous mission just to follow the dollars? The work is the same. Enjoyable in both industries. The pivot would move me away from a mission into a new industry with not much of a north star.

I’m afraid I’ll regret it. Have I been an imposter all this time?

Any advice?
I don't think so. If you don't know how it moves, you can not read meaningful data (if it moves forward/backward). That's the whole point of that counter measure.

If they [the ATMs] do this and can read the card, then they can also check that the measured movement matches what the controller sent to the motor driver. Heck, depending on the driver they could just let it measure back EMF (e.g. some Trinamic stepper drivers can do that).

Just to your point about the recruiter’s assessment— I’ve never met a modern tech recruiter who can make that kind of remark.

They largely focus on buzzwords and where you went to school. Seems like they even often fail the companies they work for by designing poor matches and wouldn’t recognize experience like you’ve noted as being worth anything. Then again, maybe I’m just in a weird bubble here. And I’m just generalizing—they’re not all the way I’ve described, but many (possibly most) are.

I take a major issue in their usage of OpenWRT. It seems to me that every hardware I touch with OpenWRT included is out of date - or "well aged". As soon as you try to modify something in the OpenWrt interface and/or update the system, half of the features do not work anymore - luckily the reset button usually works.
At least the OpenWRT variant they are choosing looks recent. Good luck!

I'm at the point where I only get Raspberry PI-based hardware. This way I know that I'm able to update/or reinstall in a year or two.
I probably am, because it's still hard to believe, how much people can be attached to a single brand, even when they notice, that its products start to suck.

A study about Private Equity's impact on Higher Education [pdf]
But, as your own comment makes clear, outsourcing simply means moving work from an expensive city to a cheaper city. It doesn't mean collaboration between a bunch of random Joe Schmoes living in various tiny villages here and there.

The reality though is that remote work will always be priced down. Even if remote workers show up everyday by some kind of robotic telepresence, once that remote role is established there's enormous pricing pressure from literally every other worker on the planet. Everybody seems to think its corporations that are resistant to remote work when in reality its actually workers who are very hesitant to take on remote roles and do not want to be seen as some sort of outsourced and easily replaceable remote provider.

It will take a sea change in the culture and desires of workers to make remote work a real possibility at scale. Workers will have to embrace a vision of themselves as freelancers without any deep connection to any one company or city. This is happening... but very, very slowly since most workers are terrified of such an idea.
To management? I'd be very interested to hear how that went over.
There are all these edit distances that are useful, but when you want to do fuzzy matching, you usually want to do it against a database, and while fuzzy matching is a great place to start, I think the more general way to think about this is document retrieval where you can just know that CA and California are two names for the same entity.

Is the mother child relationship really not based on reciprocation? The child doesn't enter the relationship willingly which makes it more interesting, but most people that I talk to who want kids do have an expectation of why they want kids. I specifically don't want kids, so this is always of interest to me.

BTW, not trying to debate necessarily as I don't have a strong feeling on either side. I just found this article and your comment to be interesting.
Female-dominated professions generally doesn't suffer from lack of diversity at the top. There are less male nurses, but plenty of male doctors.
