I'm a die-hard Firefox fan. While all my colleagues develop in Chrome, I'm the weird one who uses Firefox and always catches some problem in rendering when testing.

But recently I installed an 4K monitor. I use the Latest Windows 10 and have an GTX 1050 graphic card. The Firefox on this resolution is VERY slow. I have no problem in Edge or Chrome. Please, if any dev is around, check this use case.
If a more diverse team caused increase output and better results we really should have that as common hiring policy in state and government. Since here in Sweden about 90% of the population work in gender segregated professions, and in particular state and government positions tend to have exceptional high segregation, it would make sense that their hiring policy should reflect a goal for diversity. Many of the professions with 90%+ gender segregation also exist in health care and education which is both areas which many feel need improvement in output and results. I would assume that the benefit of improved diversity increase as gender segregation goes towards 100%.

Odd that they haven't done this already.
I was going to dismiss it as insignificant, but if I read this right:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_internal_reflection

an angle higer than ~42 degrees seems to indicate roughly a 50% longer path?

That said, I wonder what the average "fractal dimension" of a city to city fiber link is - I suspect wavering path around buildings and along roads dominate the increase in path VS theoretical straight (curved along the earth) path?

Cars depend on air moving through the cooling system under load which means it's at speed. Cooling at idle can be a big problem for high performance cars. Going to the extreme, F1 cars have to be super careful not to overheat when stopped.
> I'm talking specifically about an unmapped page. I don't have any data, but I'm pretty confident access to an unmapped page (such as null pointers) is a much more common source of SIGSEGV in general than unaligned access, to the extent that most programmers probably don't even know the latter is a possibility.

The function is already full of UB as we know it. You can add one more UB to the pile if you like.

> I take a pretty hard stance on this kind of thing.

That’s a valid choice that you can make, as is writing code in Rust. But what’s you’re doing is criticizing the design of an API that you have no actual knowledge of. For all we know this function is an internal function, not exported for use elsewhere, buried in some other code which performs the appropriate checks. We know, from the article, that other checks are performed elsewhere in the code, because it’s explicitly mentioned.

“Taking a hard stance” is all fine when you are writing or reviewing code, but in this case this kind of criticism is just noise. Save it for when you see a complete enough picture that your disagreements are more than just stylistic.
Outside the bay area, 95-120 is about the going rate for someone with those skills. Add a little for the bigger cities, and maybe 10k for every 3-5 years of experience.
This looks very nice, thank you for making it.

To offer a suggestion: I think the tutorial could be a little more straightforward. I am not familiar with emacs-which-key, and I had to scroll pretty far down the page to see how I would actually use this.
I use Scrivener on Mac for putting together various thoughts for game design docs. Adding references for the various things I've come across to assist with any hobby game dev is awesome, particularly when attempting historical accuracy.
Its become such an overblown annoying cult.

The core idea is good but even the book itself was trying to stretch an academic paper further than it needed to go.
Since I came across Jeff Dean's tip a few years ago about back-of-the-envelope calculations and latency numbers (http://highscalability.com/blog/2011/1/26/google-pro-tip-use...), I can't count the number of times that sketching out a design's complexity has saved me from implementing designs that can't possibly work, and eventually resulted in designs that are orders of magnitude faster.

In fact, it's not just about designs that work, or designs that are fast, but getting into the practice of estimating complexity in terms of hardware numbers also makes for safer code, especially where validating user data is concerned.

Just recently even, it kept me back from what might have been a potential denial of service in https://github.com/ronomon/mime, and lead to discovering a vulnerability in several popular email parsers (https://snyk.io/blog/how-to-crash-an-email-server-with-a-sin...).

What about college textbooks? In your mind, is long form narrative writing a requirement for something to be called a book?
Extinction is a normal part of the process:

"More than 99 percent of all species, amounting to over five billion species, that ever lived on Earth are estimated to have died out."
Not sure what very low level is, but if you are writing anything with low latency requirements you need to be cognizant of these things. As someone mentioned, using an array over a list helps CPU in memory striding. Cache misses are expensive.
>Who is asking for the ability to decrypt? These people are making half or less what they could make in the private sector.

Many of these people are willing to take a lower salary to help others but history has shown that many, many others take lower paying jobs in government because it affords them power over other people.
Containers used to be the other way around, baked into Firefox and then moved to an extension last year. It's better that a power user feature is not a part of the default installation.
I had to do this with my first car which had a leaky cooler :-). Always had a bottle of water with me.
"Highlights" is not "spam", it's pages you willingly opened and browsed through for long enough. or something. It's not useless if you're prone to rummaging through recent history trying to find that site you looked at 4 hours ago and closed, but want to find and reopen now. I wish I better understood the criteria to highlight, though.
Solo entrepreneurs are not starting a startup, not as I (and most people) understand the term. After all, those thousands of "solo entrepreneurs" are starting things like coffee-shops, restaurants, garages, etc. They're examples of entrepreneurship, sure, but not startups.

Solo entrepreneurs absolutely start things besides coffee shops, restaurants, garages, etc. There is nothing inherent in the definition of "startup" that precludes solo founders. Especially when you think in terms of "you're solo until you aren't". Just like "you're bootstrapped, until you aren't".

Taking on co-founders, raising external capital, etc., are all things you do when you get to the point that they are necessary.
States rights should be more powerful than the federal government, the decentralization across states allows for greater freedom and experimentation. The 10th amendment should be emphasized more.

Taleb, echos some of this in Antifragile.
The problem I see with the Lean Startup is that Eric Ries isn’t actively promoting, defending and explaining it.

On Mixergy, I interview founders who try to make their bones or get attention for their messages by disagreeing with the Lean approach.

Eric doesn’t debate, correct or engage with them. So they get to make statements without anyone credible taking them on.

Listen to my latest interview it’s Rand Fishkin and you’ll see what I mean. He’s not anti-Lean, but he’s disagreeing with it his book to make get attention for his message. With a bit of pushback from me, he admits as much.

Each one of these mini-attacks from accomplished entrepreneurs hurts Lean’s credibility.

Only Eric has the credibility and social grace to disagree and explain in a way that builds up The Lean Startup.

I’d love to see him step into the conversation more. He and pg defined how to run a successful startup more than any two people I know.

We need to hear more from both of them.
The point seemed more along the lines of "the ping is a function of the speed of light" to me, so not necessarily inaccurate. Although that does leave room for improvement like introducing a vacuum or making the lines more direct.
the application or portal would only be in use for maybe a year or 18 months before a complete rewrite or total redesign

This seems like a pretty empty threat. The government already has the authority to demand lawful access. "Lawful" includes a warrant. If the government wants to show up with a warrant, I expect companies to aid the government in gaining access to legally-relevant data. If they want help in a broad-spectrum fishing expedition, the US at least has no clear affirmative authority and a small pile of legal precedent based upon the Fourth Amendment that says they in fact lack that authority.

The fact they had the technological capability previously to act without Constitutional authority is irrelevant. Show up with a warrant or go pound sand.
I'd say if you have two people that are in the same ballpark technically but one is from a disadvantaged background, that one probably showed more grit to get where they are and will be a better producer. So I'm with you there.

But that's still about hiring the best person. What I can't get behind is the idea that making blatant 'diversity hires' is going to fix broader societal problems.

120 liter displacement. 4x9 = 36 cylinders and many valves and sparks plugs in each.

As comparison an early generation single spool turbojet has pretty much one moving part.

Nowadays there might be two or three spools and moving vanes and a thrust reverser.

But aviation would never have been possible for the masses with piston engines.
Read Gail Sheehy's Passages. It talks about the different phases of life - life in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s etc. Without that reference, when there's unease it's hard to know what's "you" and what's "just being human". I certainly found it very enlightening.
I’m not medical but have a great team of medical and AI folks I work with. We are also in the hematological analysis space with a startup. We are using robotics and artificial intelligence for our product and are in the medical validation phase of our solution,

Folks we speak with have a lot of passion for this space. We believe the Theranos story actually highlighted the size of opportunity for improvements in this industry.
The very lightweight HTML Gmail lacks all of "normal" Gmail's latency-hiding features, which is one reason it uses so little memory. Gmail preloads all of the messages in the thread list so when you click them they are displayed instantly. HTML Gmail doesn't, and when you click a message it fetches the body from the origin. The tradeoff is yours to make. I find the HTML version infuriating when I'm tethered on mobile because every mouse click takes 10 seconds. On the same tether I can leave normal Gmail open all the time and it's fast. Ironically the lightweight Gmail is more usable on a fast, reliable wired connection.
Interesting WaitButWhy, but in my opinion, the real big decision is about children, not marriage. The difference of responsibility is light years apart. Marriage can be undone.

> Most people that work in politics or intelligence in liberal states aren't in it for the power

This may be true, but even if so it is irrelevant. You do not need evil intentions from hundreds of thousands of worker bees to make something ugly. Just a few politicians or leaders on top are sufficient. I suspect in WW2 Germany most factory workers making gas chamber equipment were diligent, hard working, family loving fellows who did not know the full use for the product they were building.

And yes, I do not trust politicians who lie to the public "for its own good". I think most of those are in it for the power.
Silicon Valley holds very dear the romantic Jobsian definition of "startup" - two individuals bootstrapping a company from their garage (though Woz has stated "We did no designs there, no breadboarding, no prototyping, no planning of products. We did no manufacturing there.”).

English being what it is, it is fine for "lean startup" to have a different definition of startup from the word "startup", confusing as that may be.
Disruption doesn't come from direct competition. Writing another web browser isn't going to disrupt the market for web browsers. You need a new concept in how we access web-type material. That would disrupt, and wouldn't need much code. Look at Napster et al. They weren't massive but still disrupted the music industry.

The gaming industry still has room for lone coders to make a difference. Many of the top indi games are/were written by individuals (KSP, Minecraft) or by very small groups (Factorio). Sometimes being able to do something leaner, with less code, means you can win ground against the biggest of big guys (City Skylines over SimCity).
The reason I pick Django for others is because I don't pay for the server costs. If servers are free, I would use Django myself..

My understanding is they filled the need of work being done while the men were off at war.

But again. Just because there were women doing a job that is very different than today's or the last 40 years of programming and now there is not does not indicate that there was actual discrimination that caused woman to leave the industry.

1) Thr job changed dramatically.
2) Aftet the war we had the baby boomers. Women were off making a ton of babies not programming.
3) The entire job market changed for both men and woman away from manufacturing to white collar jobs. This opening the doors for both men and women to have jobs else where.

Airflow.

Powerful motors will sometimes run well enough at speed but overheat at idle. For example, after receiving an upgrade like a camshaft with more radical timings.

One key point: you can increase the size of a radiator or oil cooler but that helps a lot more when the vehicle is actually moving.

This negates the idea that a certain demographic may be disinclined to a particular subject (which is equivalent to being inclined towards other subjects).

One needs access to courses without unnecessary discrimination, one does not need to be pushed in to courses simply to make their representation scores better.
Defaults matter. Firefox has this annoying habit of constantly devising new “interesting” things on the new tab page. It’s to the point where you need to install an add on to override it to avoid constant surprises.
You can turn it on, it's called First Party Isolation.
Not related to this particular release, but I wish Mozilla implemented tree-style tabs as core feature (or at least provided core API). The current "Tree style tab" plugin in indispensable for me, but has to be a hack, however exquisite, especially around tab context menus.
I find it difficult to work while wearing headphones. Music is very distracting.

I just spent two and a half years working from home, where I could leave the tv on in the background. That was awesome. A little motion out of the corner of my eye, some noise, but nothing structured in a way I cared about. Loud reality shows about mechanical stuff were my noise-companion. I could just ignore them.

Music is full of structure. I love it far too much to work with it.

On the positive side, the "open office" I'm in now has some restaurant-style booths set up with glass doors. They're lifesavers.
If you are in the US, its a program to take classes at a higher level than the high school has. Its where all those folks with GPAs over 4.0 (4.0 being a pretty standard of A) come from (I guess they go up to 5.0).

If you are in the US and have never encountered AP courses then you experienced the fun of starting about 30 yards back in a 100 yard race for that college admission fun.
Yeah, the only downside is that it doesn't support simulation yet, which is super important for doing anything non-trivial. I think just a few minutes of playing with it and looking at the examples (it has a bunch of really good ones) is enough to help make a lot of progress. That's how it was for me, anyway. It was the little nudge I needed to start understand what was going on.
> What I wanted to express was this: if you want to write _a book_, first write the book and only then worry about the tools. If you then notice that you need a custom toolchain to get the book in exactly the shape you need it to be, do it.

I agree 100% with this. Following the case of Knuth/TAoCP/TeX, in fact the first edition of TAoCP was not written in TeX, he made TeX to improve his already written book.
I would love a way to sync my sites defined in containers, so that site A opens in the correct container on all my computers running firefox.

How about people who aren't from wealthy coastal suburbs?

That's the monoculture in tech. Tech diversity stats basically mirror those suburbs with the exception of the east asian and south asian groups. (The suburbs are catching up as they raise families).

With all these posters complaining, am I the only one who is totally satisfied with Firefox? I never had many issues using firefox. I did use Chrome briefly, but came back to firefox. If it matters, I mostly use firefox on Debian Linux and am also not a web developer.
I find it pretty laughable to claim that software written in this (brand new?) language, progsbase, will last a "ballpark" of "centuries". The transistor isn't even a century old.

To my knowledge, nothing created by humans has lasted centuries with the equivalent of one day/year of maintenance work.
All very valid points. I think most of those features were omitted for the sake of simplicity by the Go team. Many people disagree with that.
Is this AMP 2.0?
I think the kind of diversity initiative you are speaking about is fundamentally different from the one the startup industry is aiming for. Diversity metrics are fairly commonplace, as is political homogenisation and suppression of alternative views. This leads me to believe that these companies are not in fact pursuing the kind of diversity (that of ideas/perspectives) that you are championing. They instead seem to be pursuing a kind of demographic equality of outcome where for any % of the populace, that same % should be represented in technology jobs. I find your idea of diversity a lot more defensible than the industry one.

Are you sure? Here is what "recommended by pocket", which automatically appeared recently, shows for me [edit: this is non-personalized as mentioned in a comment]:

"buzzfeednews: Teachers are moonlighting as instagram influencers to make ends meet" trending

"vox: a history of happiness explains why capitalism makes us feel empty inside" trending

"theguardian: chanel shoes, but no salary: how one woman exposed the scandal of the french fashion industry" trending

I have never visited those pages before. I had clean new tab pages showing only most commonly visited pages before, and suddenly automatically this stuff appeared in it now. I consider this spam, yes.

Also, for most commonly visited pages, all it gives me is an orange square with only an "R" in it for reddit or a green square with an "N" in it for hacker news, but for the spammy stuff above it gives full titles!
Sleeve valves could enable higher compression ratios without detonation, for higher efficiency? I guess there is the NOx to consider nowadays though.
I would say you're wrong when trying to say people are good/bad. For the most part the people in the machine don't matter. They are cogs in a machine that only see a very small amount of information and rarely know what the big picture looks like.

The output of the machine is what matters. If the output of the machine is bad, then everybody that is a part of it is and unwitting bad actor.

We have to make sure we don't make bad public policy machines.
In the current FF there are regular settings to tweak or disable all of that. Similar to what you’d see in Chrome, but with more control.
Here I feel the need to share what I feel like is my ultimate setup: put in earplugs first, then cover with sound deadening/isolating headphones, finally play white noise. I don't hear shit.

Added bonus: put your chair and feet on a mat with vibration deadening material such as sorbothane, so you don't even feel people walk by.

Next I am planning on experimenting putting up a tri-fold poster board to block out visual distractions, too.
Your setup may not be very noisy, but if it were at 88 dB, I would consider earplug headphones to reduce the risk of NIHL or tinnitus.
> I can map most new / novel problems to a variation of something I have seen before

I think you're implying that the "something you've seen before" is an approach that also works to solve the current problem. In this case, the problem you've encountered isn't truly novel to you. This may be sufficient for your purposes (career, interest, etc.), but it by no means suggests that there are no problems that you haven't experienced in any way, shape or form. (Nor do I think you're trying to imply that you know everything! :-) )

But this does illustrate my point: It's very easy to become convinced that one has exhausted all possible experiences if your career or interests aren't pushing you to seek out truly novel ones.

When industry shifts happen (and they do) this leaves many "experienced" developers out in the cold. This is also why people with intrinsic motivation tend to fare better when these shifts happen: They tend to seek out opportunities to experience something novel. The down side is that there's a significant population who are older and experiencing the problem for the first time in their careers. This leads to the stereotype of "old and out of date" which, sadly bleeds over onto the truly skilled.
