Domain Driven Design.

As a dev you usually stumble upon it for the architecture / coding part. But those are just details. The Domain part is all about the business: where do you add value, what things you can outsource because they're not at the heart of your strategy, which projects should get your better people etc.
So I think it can be a good bridge for people who come from tech and want to dabble in the business part of their company.

Listen, I take a huge exception to the way you said things. As a minority (non-white) person, I don't need you to speak for me and me to be your pet.

In fact, your attitude is highly patronizing and condescending, the fact that you don't see it, is problematic.

Linux Kernel was being run ok so far. Sure there were rants from Torvalds which went overboard sometimes but accept it as a quirk of the maintainer and move on.
Including this COC is a huge can of worms though. Now you can be Brendan Eiche'd out of any open source project.
When that happens, perhaps you'll be celebrating a win for your progressive values but a more real happening at that point would've been loss of good open source software which some of your pet minorities could have used.
Great article. What's happening in China is not so different than in the US and Europe, with management of the economy shifting from democratically elected leaders to central bankers, etc. Hayek was an enemy of democracy (just skim LLL if you don't believe me), so recent trends are in accord with his vision.
Hands and feet are also very useful ... until they turn septic and need to be removed. Antibiotics can treat infections in the early stages if diagnosed well ahead of time. But once an organ is totally taken by infection it may be unrecoverable. Either you remove it or it becomes a lump of dead tissue spreading evil to the rest of the body. By the time someone is in the emergency room due to abdominal pain, by the time they are seen by a doctor and ultrasounded, it will need to come out.
Probably Reddit could technically make a trademark enforcement claim, but it seems they are unlikely to, given the long existence of sites like redditlist.com
Problem with that is you're relying on the surface properties of the material you're pushing against. If it's too soft, you get no motion. If it's too hard you get too much. The nice thing about using internal reaction wheels is that the torque you get is entirely independent of the surface you're resting on.
I'm not sure that the CoC-alarmists see a difference. Reject the patch, reject the person: to them, it's all the same. And I'm not sure they're even wrong on that particular point, at least in the case of rejecting patches for reasons that don't have anything to do with the content of the patch itself. You are rejecting the person in that case. I just don't see anything wrong with that.

This is so true. All the classes in HTML source look so ugly and verbose when you first see it. At first I dismissed the framework and wondered how someone could think this was a good idea.

I kept seeing it pop up, and the comments were always positive, so I put in a little more effort into understanding how it works. Eventually I decided to try it, and within 5 minutes I was making stuff that actually looked nice. I used it to create a really minimal company website, that looks totally custom, and is really lightweight.

Thanks for sharing it, I really enjoy using it!

Problem is, defining quantity in the class name doesn’t work.

.m10 may be fine for desktop but not for mobile.

Then you’ll have media queries which define .m10 as margin: 5px or something, which is nuts.

You could go for unspecified .mSmall etc, but in real life, things tend to be more specific and messier, in my experience.
Do you believe that computer engineers/scientists/developers could have just as much impact on someone's life?

I personally feel like the field is too broad to say yes to that above question but in some domains of our field, it is definitely a yes. We might need a more regimented continuing education requirement similar to the legal field's CLE requirements to remain part of the state bar. As we see more profound effects from software we as an industry will eventually become a target.

> Companies these days don't really come to a hault if they're in need of a few developers

My small company has had to put our biggest contract on hold since July after having 2 senior developers leave in quick succession. We're burning through cash and have only just this week managed to find a replacement for one of them. I've almost gone down the agency route (again) but the fees are pretty hefty for a team our size (3 at the moment).

I'm not looking for rockstars, just someone with some familiarity with .NET MVC.

> someone who has 10 years AND cares is rare but pure gold.

One way to attract those people: choose to build your product using a rather exotic language (e.g. Clojure or Elixir). You take a substantial risk because the language is rather unproven and you will have a hard time finding experienced developers. BUT if someone with 10+ years experience makes the effort to learn a language that does not have an immediate payoff that is a good sign you found someone who cares.
I had an appendectomy a few years ago (in my late 20s) and I really wish the doctors had given me the option of just antibiotics. I was in severe pain and had spent the entire day vomiting, but from the CT scan my appendix wasn't at risk of rupturing at that point. They basically told me they were going to take it out as it was faster for them to manage it that way.

It's anecdotal, but ever since I had my appendix out I've struggled with digestion issues. I've tried so many things: elimination diets to discover food allergies, probiotics, a switch to vegetarianism, tons of fiber supplements, no fiber supplements, intermittent fasting, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine. I tried out uBiome to see if I could discover anything with that. Nothing really has worked.

On top of that, the surgery cost $25k.

Certainly there are instances where the surgery is absolutely needed, as a rupture will kill you. I'd really like to see more research on the theory that the appendix holds a backup copy of good bacteria, because at this point I'm willing to believe the appendix isn't just vestigial and actually plays a role in intestinal health that we just don't understand.

It would be equally nice if we were able to consider the science being explored, rather than have people deride any investigation at all.

The methodology is there to be replicated, and though you're free to disagree with it, throwing hyperbole that's clear false around:

Disclaimer: I work on ANITA

The two relevant events had RF emission from 27 and 35 degrees below the horizontal. If interpreted as emission from upward-going EAS, then the particle would be within a degree or so of that. So they don't go all the way through the Earth, but through a chord long enough that, if our shower energy estimate (which, admittedly, is fraught with peril, we have an order of magnitude errors on that), no standard model particle could have made it through (yes, at high energies, the Earth is opaque to neutrinos).

Thanks - that's good and well-reasoned advice.

I'm iterating rapidly on the idea - and in particular I'm happy to talk to customers about pricing plans that aren't currently listed on the landing page (if that means fixed fee and no transaction cost then that's doable)

tbh I'm not sure that Stripe appeals to the most cost-conscious entrepreneurs, and right now I am targeting those who want to test ideas rapidly, and who are likely to then find time / money to build out their own integration (which will mean I have a high degree of churn if I don't adapt.

It's quite cool that Logo’s turtle occupies a certain position in Logo "space", and can be moved relative to that position by using commands such as fd (forward), rt (right turn) and so forth.

It's like the concept sets an absolute space relative to something and all positions within that are relative from the baseline coordinate. Much as CSS container wrapping works when you set an absolute within a relative.
My broader rationale goes like this:

- The objective of any movement is to effect a change

- The number of people pro- or anti- change is always dwarfed by the number of ambivalent or mostly-ambivalent bystanders (aka those who don't really care)

- The shortest path to the object is therefore converting the bystanding mass to your side

- You convert people more easily if you don't scare them

- Overthrowing the system and militancy always scare people

I don't have my books on designing effective protest movements in front of me, but I'll post the names when I'm home later. The above ideas are all cribbed from reading.

PS: Not that militancy doesn't have a place. But unless you're willing to start a civil war and have substantial economic and popular backing before initiating hostilities, the state is always going to have more power (see point about silent bystanders).
Oh I agree with you that these things should be made available if requested in a serious way. I also think scientific papers should be open access, for similar reasons. I'm not advocating keeping anything secret. And in general if someone takes the time to email me about a question regarding my work, of course I'm going to take the time to give a thorough answer to the best of my ability. But here I was responding primarily to the idea that scientists should report every bit of progress (or non-progress) in real time as it happens, and also to the statement that the scientific paper is an out-dated concept, which I happen to disagree with.

1. Sometimes they pretend to have an open position "X". They do them to increase their database of candidates, just in case a customer will require that kind of profile in future. You know what's happening because, even if you apply for that position 1 ms after the publication of the ad, they respond that the selections are closed but they have "similar positions";

2. Sometimes they pretend to be an "official" and "exclusive" recruiter for the company "X" but after a brief search you can find out plenty of ad for the same position around Internet;

3. Related to the point 1 and 2, sometimes, when you require information about the position or the company, no information is provided because the position doesn't exist, the think you can contact directly the company that's looking for employees or both these reasons;

4. Sometimes recruiters don't know what are speaking about/ what they are looking . I can testify hundreds of example related to IT.

5. Sometimes they aggressively try to contact you by phone even when you, after receiving necessary clarifications,you tell them you are not interested to the position;

6. Sometimes they are spammers, mostly spammers by mail and spammers by Linkedin. About Linkedin, using it as a type of FB surrogate, sending tons of links with private preferences, kitties, funny viedo on Youtube, photos of celebrations in their offices, advertisement ot their customers, etc. Why they don't send the only thing you want from them ? I'm speaking about job specs of course.
Lately what I have been trying out is telling people: if you want to come for an interview can you prepare a small presentation of one of the data structures that you know
about or like, or ideally hash tables (as they cover wide range of topics).

If a person than comes in for the interview in about a week from when he is told this and can’t present that DS to some depth I don’t bother to go on with much longer interview.

I got lot of criticism for this ranging from who needs data structures, we are not building libraries to this is too complex to ask a person.

But in my opinion if someone tells you what you are going to be asked on the interview and you don’t even bother to prepare at least a little bit i can assume me you will act like that at work too.

Why a data structure? Why not, you don’t necessarily need to like or know anything about the domain you will be working in, same way you might not care or like data structures.

This doesn’t apply to someone writing HTML maybe but for a senior programer it should be easy to figure out how a simple linked list works, if you don’t care about learning it I don’t care about wasting my time interviewing you.

I would like if some of you might give me thoughts on this approach.

Do we need more reasons to soak ourselves in antibiotics? Appendectomies on otherwise healthy people are extraordinarily safe procedures. And while some research has indeed shown the appendix as a useful organ, having it out doesn't have lasting side effects. Given the coming tide of antibiotic resistance, perhaps this is an area where physical intervention via surgery can reduce the need for antibiotics.

(I know antibiotics are normally prescribed after an appendectomy anyway, but I presume that would be less than the dose needed to kill the primary infection outright.)
That is just super funny. It always will be.
That's probably true. I admit the first time I got in contact with ThinkPads was around 2006; so whatever was affordable for students back then might have stuck (tbh, I never had a TP until a year ago; and the Helix something entirely different).
On the other hand, it's hard enough to expect 18 year olds to know what they want to do with the rest of their lives, if we only hire people who showed passion in high school now we're pushing that all the way back to 14 years old.

I didn't even know my career existed until after my freshman year of college, but no one I work with would say I'm not passionate about what I do.
It works where there is a shared mission. But when team A wants help with project 1 and team B’s priority is project 2, and they need approval from team C because it touches their code, well, you get the bureaucracy and constant escalation that you see in big software companies.

You just add .atom to the web address (often referred to as the "full profile" page in Mastodon UI). So https://some-instance.net/some-user.atom

The full profile page itself also has the usual RSS Auto-Discovery META tags so that most feed readers will accept the profile page address itself and figure out the ATOM feed from that.

The only other twist would be for feed readers to add WebFinger support which would allow them to auto-discover the "full profile" page from the @some-user@some-instance.net style address. I don't think any feed readers have added that yet.
The "throw your hands up in the air and blame it on the guy who actually made the offensive thing with your IP" approach has failed SO many times. I agree with you entirely, you're going to be making the morally wrong choice to someone no matter what you do. I think this is why so many people limit what can be done with their IP.
