You're right, I guess I'm comparing against both those axes at the same time, since I'm relating to my own experience as a kid 30 years ago vs as someone working in tech today. Indeed, that's not really a fair comparison.

The point I was trying to make was about the distinction between programming with a limited set of building blocks vs programming with a large and open-ended selection of libraries. They don't require the same skill set, and one seems more fun to me than the other.
What is the average salary in HelloFresh ?. Berlin startups are infamous for paying very low salaries.
>Most of the worlds largest cities are near the coasts.

There are some cities (New Orleans, Venice, Boston to an extent, to name a few), which are highly vulnerable to sea level rise, but most coastal cities are at high enough elevation that a sea level rise of a few meters wouldn't be the end of the world - it would require better levees, dikes, etc.

Contrast with such risks as increased capability of biological warfare, the persistent risk of nuclear warfare, or, ecologically, declining natural forestation and vegetation due to heavy use of land for cultivated agriculture.

As for extreme weather, it's not like the Earth naturally has less extreme weather at colder temperatures. Warmer temperatures will cause changes in weather patterns, and some places are getting more extreme weather than before, but there is no reason it will be net worse for the whole world.

Recently, I was campaigning for an environmental NGO in Germany (summer job) and til now I didn't know that Germany is such a big plastics-user!
Why I wouldn't have thought of that?
Every 2nd person we approached answered with "we already do so much to avoid plastics and protect the environment, you would not believe!"...
But at least we are actively approaching this issue, as the EU is banning single-use plastics![1]

Another observation (ofc an anecdote):
No one did deny the actual existence of the problem - but the richer the person was (judging from his appearance), the more did he deny our (western world) contribution to the problem! (at least as a responsible consumer)

[1]https://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-environment-plasti...
From the FAQ under what can Governments and policy-makers do:

"As a general sense of magnitude: if all countries had the management infrastructure of high-income countries (i.e. no mismanaged waste with the exception of littering), global plastics at risk of entering the ocean could decline by more than 80 percent."
"Prostitution is the oldest profession" is a common saying, but not to be taken literally.

Should be read more a sardonic acknowledgement of how innately transactional sex can be, and how the line between 'transactional sex' and 'not transactional sex' can be very, very blurry.

Especially in horrific pre-historical survival scenarios. Hence the saying.
The other countries are signed up for the Paris accords, but just don't do anything. Global CO2 production is still climbing.

Paper, the least terrible password management tool (2015)
Massive update: Sculpting-App Unbound 0.3.0
Demonetization was a disaster in many ways. The government was not at all prepared for the change and kept playing it by ear everyday, changing the policies on cash withdrawals. Those who had a lot of cash used the boon of the government — Jan Dhan accounts of the poor — to deposit their cash in smaller sums and got it out later.

Talk about this move's ill effects and you'll find the other side changing the topic from black money to digital transactions to tax base and so on. None of those claims have been validated. Cash use is back to how it was before. Digital transactions saw a temporary increase, but have gone out of favor among those who didn't really use them often before. Tax increases have other reasons to credit.

What's even worse is that the government made it easier to hoard large amounts of cash by invalidating the Rs.1000 note and by introducing a Rs.2000 note. The main use of the Rs.2000 note could be to hoard cash since it's not something that's useful on a day-to-day basis for most people (can't easily get the change when the spend is much smaller).

Tax evasion is primarily done through real estate, gold, etc. Cash bills form a minuscule percentage. The government could've focused on bigger things than attempt to flush badly run banks with cash by this move.

Hopefully this or any future government won't dare to try this kind of a gimmick again.
Usually I do to, but these videos are like 1-3 minutes, and there is vital information and explanations of what the graphics mean that would literally take as long to read yourself. :P
Dissing congress is all he has done with full efficiency and in the most ugliest manner.

I mean, there was people like Vajpayee, Adavani and many others who have actually known Nehru/Indira/Rajiv more than Modi and even they didn't fall so far down to criticize Congress. They criticized but with dignity.

Dignity is foreign word for Modi. And that is why, since his rise, stories like Nehru was sexually pervert and had STD, Mahatama Gandhi was homosexual, ancestors of Nehrus were Muslims and so on are on the rise.
This is really very nice of you to document your treatments and their aftermath. I wish this page gets stored permanently in Internet archive for parents whose kids suffer from this and for a better idea of how this could be approached I studied in the same college you studied and for quite sometime I was a silent admirer of your startup and hacks (starting from hackintosh). You have been an inspiration for many of your college juniors (like me). I wish wholeheartedly you get well soon and document that too!
As interesting everhing of this is; I actually doubt that is the absolute truth as long there is no evidence.
This describes the web experience for me in general. All of these features sidestep the core functionality. People build these things and seem to ignore typography and clarity. Maybe it's because things like social and "smart" anything increase "engagement" and other such vanity metrics that are used to impress stakeholders, even though they have little to do with what the products should be good at, which is allowing people to read.
The accumulated pension contributions are suppoused to prevent one from „offing” oneself, which works fine in e.g UK or Germany, but fails miserably in e.g. post-Communist countries where suicide rates for his age bracket soars.

Hey guys, quadriplegic Hacker here.

Yes, truly terrifying situation but becoming quadriplegic does not mean an end to spending inordinate amounts of money on technology and owning more Raspberry Pi's and you're willing to admit to publicly.

Not my intent to minimise obviously, but I can move one finger in my head and I have a job and technology sector that I love.

I think I really just wanted to say that if you're going through this, Chin up! :-)

Looks generally harmless. Only worry I would have is sites that don't rely on JS but use trackers and users get the bottom UI message. On the other hand, this could detract users with spotty connections from sites that require JS be loaded to perform any interaction on the sites.
Nobody prices in global warming into their coal plants, that's why they're cheap.
What it means in practice is no extensibility baked in at all.

Rather it is very modular design, that is very simple, bordering on dumb.

This is all very much easier said than done. "Simple ain't easy".

Less related but Minecraft servers were also a plugin mess. With N plugins, similar odds for any given plugin to break across an update, and frequent updates you'd pretty much always have broken plugins.
> Everyone in the industry knows in context what Serverless means.

I don't. Divorced from the context of a very specific vendor offering, serverless could mean almost anything. There are many applications, services, and platforms out there that don't require customers to manage their own servers.

Now if we're talking about Amazon or Google's specific things that have the marketing term 'serverless' applied... then many (but not everyone) can start getting specific (like in this posted article).

EDIT: I think another interesting question might be why so many people react defensively when this misnomer is criticized
It's worth pointing out. I don't think all the people pushing this are stupid. I'm sure some are, but there are plenty of 'clever' ones who are comforted by the thought that, under whatever guise, their citizens are monitored. I am pessimistic enough in these matters to believe in a kind of reverse Hanlon's razor.
I'd heavily recommend the lenovo x1 line, I'm using the x1c5 (gen5) without issue. Love it in every regard, and it doesn't hurt that it's lighter than the macbook by a heavy margin.
Most individual rights are not absolute

Indeed, they can't be, because rights and freedoms that we value often conflict, and then we have to determine which of two good things we should prioritise when we would like to support both if that were possible.

Still, there is a reason that legal systems tend to place protection of fundamental rights and freedoms high up, such that it requires a more serious harm to the rights and freedoms of others to justify infringing on them. It's to challenge the erosion of legal protections by successive temporary governments at the expense of the people.

If governments want to mandate an end to meaningful security in telecommunications, that is both a practical threat to everyone's safety in numerous small ways and a more fundamental threat to the nature of democracy itself. To justify such a draconian measure, the harm to other rights and freedoms that is being defended against must be greater.

In my experience, neither my own government nor its allies has got within the same galaxy as clearing that bar yet, and that is why I do not support this kind of proposal and will typically vote against anyone who does regardless of any other policies they have.

ChartGuys | Fullstack Developer | Vancouver, BC, CA | ONSITE | https://alerts.chartguys.com

ChartGuys does education and technical analysis around various financial markets (currently mostly crypto-currencies).

We're looking for a full stack dev that can make back-end contributions and take the lead on front-end development. Stuff we use: Rails / React / Postgres / Redis / Heroku / websockets. Familiarity with candle sticks and technical analysis algos a plus but not necessary. We work remotely but do the occasional IRL meet-up, so a strong preference for developers in the greater Vancouver area.

Apply: https://angel.co/chartguys/jobs/407852-software-engineer
Goodness, I'm floored. There's an absolutely incredible amount of insight in that document. I can only imagine how many years of collective experiences and digging have resulted in this compilation.
For a while I thought the same. Then I starting meeting more people from the generation before me, who complained about how the kids nowadays (meaning me and my generation) didn't really know how the machines worked. The kids only wrote code, but since they didn't build and maintain the hardware, they didn't grok the full stack.

And to be fair, they are right. There was a level of UART programming and video logic control that I never understood, because they required knowledge of analog circuitry that was beyond me.

As I grew older, I realize that every generation has people who that about the next one. Sure, car engines in my g'grandfather's day were so simple that anyone could take one apart and really learn how it works. But I prefer the benefits of modern engines.

BTW, the first real OSes were in the 1960s. I do not think you started with computers in the 1950s. And how is it that "all the code that was there was what you wrote (copied) yourself" when you were "dropped right into the interpreter"? - who wrote the code for the interpreter?
> In other words, how much of Macbook's trackpad is in it's software?

A tonne. Compare how the trackpad acts in the restore system, and how it acts in MacOS: Two very different realms of quality.

Regardless, lenovo & dell's (x1 & xps) trackpads are on par with the macbook '15's trackpad. Apple has lost that advantage.
