I did the exact same thing. It was great.

I don't understand these people who can't find things to keep them occupied outside work. I don't have enough hours in the day to do all the things I want to do. Work is just 8 hours per day that I can't do those things.
There isn’t really a national market for teachers. In Raleigh/Wake County, I believe $35000 is average. And that’s high for North Carolina.
It's the internet though. That's what's beautiful about it. You dont have to specify anything about yourself, and nobody can attack you for it. Linus is taking time off after a very stressful time. He deserves it more than anyone. Everyone needs to relax.

Everyone is a programmer now. Data scientists, accountants, marketers, doctors, lawyers, project managers. Knowing how to write programs is just know how to write.
I have no idea why they use JS - it's a Berlin start-up so maybe trendiness is involved? All I know is that their data engineers have to make those algorithms work in production.
The medical definition of "overweight" is pretty broad, and may include some people you wouldn't think of that way at a glance. But yeah, it's pretty bad.

Edit: Completely baffled why people are downvoting this.
If the "competent ones" have to resort to bitter FUD wars to protect their turf, then maybe they are the ones who need to re-evaluate their so-called careers.

Somewhere out there, there's a bitter COBOL developer still complaining about that "new fangled" c++

Code isn't protected from becoming proprietary SaaS with the GPL though, AGPLv3 is the only way to ensure those that take your code, modify it and offer it as SaaS publish the altered code.
Reading the comments here, am I the only one who had the problem of writing too much and trying to figure out how to fit within the required page limits? :P Still trying to figure out how to not be so verbose. :(
They don't use JS to investigate the data, they use SQL (Hive, Impala etc.) as their lingua franca for exploring datasets. But they then write their algorithms based on that analysis in JS.

Again, I don't know why, it struck me as odd also, but hey, whatever they're doing, it works for them.
Yeah, it's also really important to understand that they only have to give source code to their customers. They don't have to provide source code upstream. So it's completely legitimate to take a GPL piece of software, make modifications, sell it anywhere you want, put a conspicuous note that you will supply source code on demand to your customers, and then never, ever supply source code because none of the users are technical enough to want the source code.

This is part of software freedom. Your end users do not have to distribute binaries or code to anyone that they don't want to. It's just that if they distribute a binary or code to someone, they have to grant the same freedoms they received.

Sometimes it's a bit hard to grasp these nuances (especially the, "Hey they can sell my software" bit). It's important to understand that before you choose a license.
What's the most alarmist position you could take here? Probably cutting off all US trade immediately.

But that doesn't result in a recession in China. They're growing at 7%, about the same as exports to the US. From that 7% subtract imports from the US (which would also be cuttoff and replaced by Chinese companies), and imports for export (which don't produce value for China)... and the result is that an end to US-China trade does not produce a recession for China.. they would still be growing by a few percent (note, the US economy only grows at 2-3%).

So they'll still have a growing economy... and they're still moving people from the rural areas into cities. So it's not clear to me that this collapses the housing bubble there. Possible though? Sure, maybe.

>why would I not choose the most effective form of advertising for me?

Because it's illegal? Advertising jobs only to white men hurts society. A modern democracy understands that freedom loving people need access to jobs. So yeah, you are prevented from infringing on others' freedoms.

Normal people are looking at less than $1k in total rent.
I think the assumption is that authentication is bare minimum for a secure messaging system, so "just don't sign" isn't really an option.
This "harming democracy" and "being questioned daily in the national US press", is all about the existing arbiters of information (also called the mainstream media) trying to protect their control over information dissemination.
Civil rights act, title 7 IIRC
I didn't understand the article's point at first because to me, medicine is not a great example of evidence-driven policies. The American health insurance system does not appear to be optimized by any sort of metric, much less to be driven by evidence. Many key decisions, like how many doctors should be given medical degrees each year, are not subject to any evidence at all. And just at a high level in terms of performance for cost something is fundamentally "not working" in medicine over the past couple decades.

It's true that for the micro decisions, like does drug X treat condition Y, medicine appears to be much more evidence-based than, say, sociology. But the overall dysfunction of medical policymaking makes me dubious of using medicine as a model for other fields of decisionmaking.
Wow that is great!

> deadlines and scope are negotiated continuously as the pressure on typical team is constant and as there is constant flow of incoming requirements.

Incoming requirements aren't actually continuous; indeed in practice they tend to be quite bursty. When you get a new batch of requirements is the best time to evaluate their priorities and schedules.

> When you are asked about priorities and future, it is best to have reasonable answer at that time - not two weeks later when you finally reactively done reading and thinking.

Two weeks later the priorities will likely be different. Long-term planning is usually wasted effort.

> Employees often dont really ask about priorities. They assume priorities based on their previous experience/opinions, everyone different which leads to misunderstandings and waste of time. You have to sync them before they ask.

If employees don't know where to look for priority information that's a problem to be fixed.

> If the primary role of manager is to constantly react at suddenly appearing problems, then the company needs more planning and more organization. Those suddenly appearing problems are consequence of chaotic environment.

The world is chaotic. Reacting to change is often cheaper and more effective than planning and organisation.
Yeah, Expect-EV would do almost nothing to help prevent phishing. That's what U2F is for.

Expect-EV would prevent attacks like[1][2] where a domain is hijacked via DNS or BGP. U2F wouldn't help with these attacks. I know that phishing is a much bigger problem than domain hijacks, but domain hijacks do happen, so it would be nice to have protection.

It's also comparing apples and oranges ;)

The feature set of the two are quite different, also the way how they are used. Here is an overview of what Pinegrow can do, including full support for Bootstrap, Foundation, plain HTML, CSS with live SASS editing, WordPress theme export and more:

> Sorry, what? Am I misunderstanding you? How does short selling increase outstanding shares?

Selling short requires borrowing shares. It's the same way that banks create money. There were 1000 shares, then 200 more were borrowed and resold. The buyer of the 200 shares have shares, so in practice does the original lender who is owed a share by the short seller. The IOU isn't technically a share but for most practical purposes it is. If you want to sell it, it's worth a share. If the share price goes up or down, so does the IOU price. If the share price gains $1, the owner and the lender make $1 each. If it falls $1, they each lose $1.

> Firm A doesn't own them anymore - that's why you have to pay out company dividends to firm A from your own pocket while you're borrowing them.

Right, which is why it acts like another share again -- the original dividend is paid to the person the short seller sold the share to but the lender still gets it too. There are de facto two dividends because there are de facto two shares.

There are actual differences of course (e.g. IOUs can't vote), but for questions of exposure to price fluctuations and that sort of thing, it's effectively creating a new share.
I agree that a lot of policy decision are value judgements and can't be fully explained by scientific approaches.

But I definitely would like to see more hard numbers in political discourse. For example, what was the effect of previous tax cuts that increased deficits? Just put out the numbers: government revenue, business investment and so on. At least people (maybe) could have a rational foundation for their opinions. But I guess I am asking too much...
> Thanks to the magic of used bookstores, I was even able to turn them into more books I hadn't read yet.

For me, that's the primary reason ebooks don't appeal to me: they always cost much more, despite the fact that I don't mind reading on devices I already own (e.g. smartphone). I almost never buy new, never buy hardback, and I (re-)sell on the used market frequently enough that the average net cost of a physical book is significantly lower.
Also will this be usable on Meta AR?
This reminds me of animating paperback book pages as a transition to directly linking web pages. The paradigm is leaking over to the new one where the new one doesn't have a good way to do it yet. Instead, I would have a hall with portals you could zoom up to as you wave your hand out in front of you, kind of like the iWatch but not sure the puke factor.
As someone who doesn't follow or even like electron from the sounds of it, why do you expect anything about their release log to be worth anything to you?
I presume because faulty analysis or bad data can actually get you more off track than when its just a "back of the napkin" based guess or hunch.

And additionally, you now have the pride/confidence thing in your even worse results because you did "analysis"...

In a similar comment thread a couple months ago, someone brought up the book Progress and Poverty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progress_and_Poverty), which described this effect nearly 140 years ago. I could have used this wisdom when I was just starting out in my financial career.
Thanks!

Pinegrow is a general purpose HTML & (S)CSS editor, so Bulma (and similar) can be easily used with Pinegrow already.

React and Vue are another story, at the moment I don't have a clear vision of how they could be used with Pinegrow in an effective way.

VS Code is on the list, but not high priority. Our Atom integration is open source, perhaps somebody could/will adapt it for VS Code.
There seems to be some philosophical disagreement here: what obligation is there beyond the letter of the law? If the tax code and labor regulations permit a legal maneuver, and that something is generally accepted as being legal, how is taking advantage of that maneuver sidestepping regulation?

In this context being upset at an organization for "tax avoidance and sidestepping labour regulations" seems to me to be about as rational as being upset at water for flowing downhill. What's more, there's nothing inherent to these loopholes that favors American companies, and yet it's almost universally American companies that are being targeted for this regulatory mob justice.

I call sour grapes and attempt to reformulate my original point: American companies, the most vigorous of which have emerged victorious from the survival-of-the-fittest meat grinder of the American business environment, have set their sights on the comparatively sclerotic European continent, and are on a tear. To which the European system responds not by encouraging competition, thereby strengthening its own offerings in the long run, but by backdoor regulatory protectionism.

I'm sure it's satisfying in the short term to siphon off a fine here and a tax there from these companies, but they're just going to keep coming. Either the EU steps up its approach to competition or it drowns in American tech prowess.

It would be a heck of a lot dumber for the purposes of setting this particular record fitting the weight of the not insignificant number (and range!) of gears it would take to let human legs accelerate the bike to that speed...

Remember, she is doing over 180mph at probably somewhere in the region of 80-120RPM at the cranks, that’s an _enormous_ gear to push.

It’s the same reason you don’t start your typical car in 6th gear from a standing start.

For what it’s worth, people do try standing start records using a car for a slipstream and a very large fixed gear, it typically limits most riders to ~100MPH. Given the huge jumps in cog size needed it’s hard to do multiple gears on a push bike for something like this without building pretty complex (and likely heavy) transmissions. You’re certainly not going to manage it on Shimano derailleurs...
By capping prices, you're saying only those who live near water stockpiles deserve it (because that's what price caps lead to: first-come, first-served), which means more wasted water & fewer people surviving.

It's hard to see what exactly Setka does, but from what I can see, the main differences are that Pinegrow is a desktop app that works with your local projects and that Pinegrow is a more low-level HTML & CSS editor, that let's you do whatever you want with HTML and CSS, but with the help with visual tools.
I've been on something of a language tour recently - trying out C++, Typescript, OCaml each for a couple of weeks just to get a taste of living in each ecosystem. I haven't been actively following Rust beyond reading Hacker News articles (of which there are many) about people liking the language.

One of my pet peeves with several "newer" languages that I've looked at is that users don't usually talk about the ugly parts. You can try out C++ for a week visiting forums and r/cpp and you find out fairly quickly what the pain points are and what typical workarounds look like. At that point, it is up to you to decide to what extent you can live with those downsides and where to tread lightly. Same for C, Python, OCaml etc.

To be clear, I don't mean that you should go looking for the bad parts in a language but I do believe you should be aware of them before you invest a lot of your time in it. Unfortunately, a lot of the language love blog posts do not talk about the pain points of the language and what kind of problems it isn't well suited for.

I like Rust and I love several features that Bryan talks about (algebraic data types being one of them) but I would love to read a more balanced evaluation of the language - focusing on aspects which are rough around the edges and expected future improvements.
No women ever saw the ad, so how could they apply? The courts have ruled it's the same as denying qualified people the job. The opportunity was unfairly hidden from them.

Imagine the job posting was in the men's toilet. The company would have a hard time arguing women had fair notice.

That depends. If you're a sufficiently valuable target, it's actively worse, because it creates a false sense of security.
I was very unhappy with my job for the first 12 years between two jobs. Except for one brief period of a year.

I had been a hobbyist hacker for 10 years, since 6th grade, including four years in college. I then got my first job that I was greatly over qualified for as a computer operator. But that was my best opportunity to get to a big city because I had been an intern at the company the prior year.

I changed jobs 3 years later, got a nice 20K bump and another 10K bump over the next year, learned a lot and I thought I was doing well. That year and the next year was great.

Over the next 7 years, no growth in skills and only making $7K more over that time with measly raises and bonuses being cut, I hated my job but I felt so unqualified that I didn’t make a move and I was just miserable.

I finally woke up and changed companies and started back gaining new skills and seeing a salary increase.

Over the next 10 years, I can honestly say I never hated my job for more than a month. Once I started hating my job and I learned all I could, I had the skill set and the optionally to jump ship. Even if I didn’t leave immediately, I never felt “stuck”.

I guess that’s just a long winded way of saying that I only hate my job when I don’t feel like I’m growing and/or have any optionality.

I also realized that I work next in small companies with little red tape.
Well the power needed to get from 100 mph to 183 is a lot more than from 0 to 100, at least in kinetic energy terms which is proportional to velocity squared.

I think the main problem is that you'd be tired out getting to 100 mph, but that with the gearing so high it would be very difficult to start from a standstill without tipping over.

My thoughts on the philosophical aspects of the article don't really relate to Rust.

> These values reflect a deeper sense within me: that software can be permanent

Maybe it can be permanent, but it shouldn't be. Software is disposable and all the time developers are mistakenly fighting this aspect of its nature instead of embracing it. Great software is malleable and develops, over time, to adapt to the human that is using it. But it is impermanent--parts are snipped off here, fleshed out there, nothing stays the same, it is obsolete as soon as it is released. Don't delude yourself that your software will run for a thousand years, be like Warhol and celebrate the ephemera that is pretty much every program ever written.

> I have believed (and continue to believe) that we are living in a Golden Age of software, one that will produce artifacts that will endure for generations

Museum pieces, sure, but do we still want to be using generations-old software in the years to come? Hope not. Times change, needs change, and software that doesn't change is replaced by software that does, and quick. What about such monumental artifacts as 'cc', 'awk', or even the UNIX kernel? For years they have dominated the landscape, they are the Ozymandias, the King of Kings. If we are still clinging to these titans in another 20, 50 years, is that a good thing?
All kinds of strange things happen that cause a build to Work On My Machine and not work on the server. The most common cause I’ve found for things to build on my machine and not the build server are external dependencies that were mis referenced.

> The hedge fund? Wrong. I have those returns too.

Chanos has multiple funds. Some of them are designed as catastrophic hedges, and work accordingly. His other funds are intercyclically up, doing better in the crisis and early recovery phases and less well in late recovery. If you’re seeing different numbers, you’re being fed garbage.
True, but one very great advantage of Common Lisp is that it’s a (reasonably) well-designed system, borne of the combined experience of many people. It has many features which seem like hacks (e.g. optional dynamic scoping) or historical baggage (e.g. dynamic scoping) or like over-engineering (e.g. UPDATE-INSTANCE-FOR-REDEFINED-CLASS), but which are actually the product of sound engineering practice, and which lead to solid, well-engineered code.

Wireless chargers are great for “permanent” charging areas. I use one at my desk at work and on my nightstand at home. Does it save a ton of time? No, but it’s just easier.

I believe that. I've seen it brought to the table there in Mexican restaurants alongside free salsa without even asking. They just assume you'd want it. At first I thought "Oh free queso, great", but no, just ranch.
