I think it's a matter of habit and the more you do it the easier it gets (like training a muscle). 4x is very useful when watching video tutorials (lynda, udemy, etc) and generally I'm able to understand everything including the audio.

6x is when I just want to see the slides and code but can't understand the audio. It's rare but sometimes very useful.

It depends. If the shareholders continually vote for a board that over extends, then the circumstances change and either a) profit! everyone retires early, or b) the share price collapses and everything turns to shit.

Either way the board members will probably okay, and most of the shareholders probably didn't have their live savings all in that particular company.

I guess this is why investing is a risk vs reward trade-off. If you're of the opinion that leaving some profit on the table beats shutting down, then you probably want to invest heavily in blue chip stocks. Others might have a different risk preference.

Yeah, but it wouldn't really matter if it were a billion users per engineer if engineers with the needed skills/qualities etc. were a dime a dozen. Market scarcity determines price.

I mean, a computer allows me to do analysis that would take years in seconds, and to share it with millions of people trivially, but it's still dirt cheap because, well, there are lots of computers and not particular barriers to building more.
Thanks for your feedback. It's true that the target customer is more important, but I thought that maybe experts could help to reach it (marketing experts, grow experts, etc.). But I was thinking to implement something like a landing bot for the targeted website or surveys... I will think about it, because there are a lot of competence in this field (targeted surveys, bots, X users reviews for Y, etc.). But thanks!
The question is, can the people behind tether buy enough of it at high enough price to bring back price to 1$
If you don't already know the answers to these questions you should not be taking the high risk of investing in individual stocks.

But yes, you're screwed. In general you might get some money back if the assets they can sell on a firesale exceed the debts, but that'll be pennies on the dollar.

But if the company had more debts than assets you've lost your money, unless you're among the first in line for debt payout, but that'll go to "innocent bystanders" like the suppliers of Sears first, not investors who just made a bad investment decision.

For engineers and developers, many of whom come from a STEM background, learning about the humanities can be an enriching experience and even help them design better systems. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who has the time -- and it doesn't have to mean learning random facts. There are a lot of good reading lists, podcasts, etc, that one can go through in their spare time.
I was thinking of issues like the use of provably hackable voting machines, as well as the selective disenfranchisement mentioned by other commentators. The latter has been a problem in the US for its entire existence.
The definition of 10x is 10x the worst engineer, not 10x the average. (From Peoplesoft). Anyway, that aside:

It depends what you are measuring, but if you can figure out what is making your team inefficient - could be a technical, human or commercial problem, and solve it, then you are 10x in my opinion. Typing faster on VIM isn't what it's about.
> My more subtle point was that HTML and CSS despite all their warts have solved these problems

I am so glad that CSS is not the dominant design/layout solution on mobile. CSS may seem natural to work with after years of experience, but it is very unintuitive and sub-optimal for solving basic design problems, and I'm glad they started fresh on mobile platforms. I mean it's only relatively recently that there is a somewhat easy way to center a div vertically and horizontally on screen which does not seem like a total hack.

CSS is basically a tool designed for the simple formatting styling of text documents which has been patched to the point of absurdity to support modern design needs. The iOS tools in particular are extremely powerful and purpose-built for the task.

It's definitely not the trendy language anymore. We still have a lot of it because of legacy products and a generation trained on it mostly. But new languages are objectively better and getting adopted at a faster rate than ever. What young programer wants to write java nowadays? When you have Golang, Rust, Swift, Python, etc.

They are both generic, but because the context of most texts we write is here on Earth, 'sun' and 'moon' tend to be used as proper names would, but without capitalisation.

That these are essentially generic nouns can show up more clearly in astronomical texts and of course in literature (science fiction).

I feel like I understand the author's experience, and his bitterness, I had a very similar situation myself when I was a new engineer, creating an amazing project that was really useful for everyone that got completely shot down for political reasons. For a while after, the more I stuck out with better work the more I was punished.

I learned a lot from this. It was very demotivating, painful, even humiliating, and it took me a long time to get over it (mostly). What I didn't learn is that all the people who were to blame for this were the bad guys. Here's what I did learn:

- People are people and will do the things that people do, despite your high expectations.
- You can often not change other people. But you can change yourself. Think of what *you* can do to improve relationships.
- You'll rarely change someone's thinking by using logic. This, sadly, is not human nature in a political environment.
- Work is a political environment. Even engineering.
- You must learn what motivates, frustrates, encourages, shames and honors the people you work with.
- Protect the people you work with, do not cause them to raise their defenses.
- If you want something to move forward in a team you must win people over.
- You don't win people over by making them feel threatened that you will take power from them or make them look bad.
- If you truly care about something, having another person claim that idea as their own isn't bad, it's a great victory.

If you don't really care what gets done in your organization and are just interested in being the most well respected and successful person, and want to get there in the quickest and not deal with everyone's crap, then do what a lot of others do and just flatter and lie and job-hop around before things catch up to you and you'll be C-level in no time. You can also get there (but not for sure) through long difficult years of doing everything right. Make your choices.

Shining a Light on Federal Law Enforcement’s Use of Computer Hacking Tools
Given the recent trend in the last 4 years to have elections where the dominating media stories are about candidates being accused of criminal offenses, here is a small suggestion. Lets have a FCC rule that forbid media outlets that use the radio spectrum (TV, radio, Internet) from publishing articles with accusations of criminal offenses targeted at politician candidates, on the grounds that it would interfere with the political process. That would resolve the main complaint, still allow for stories that came out prior to any nomination, and we can keep the legal process and the political process isolated and separate.

I'm not sure if it qualifies as incoherent, though. This is how I would sort it into buckets:

Cross-platform UI - HTML/JS/Electron

Backend and services - .NET Core

Low-level graphics and other high-perf / low-level stuff - C++

Within each of those there are transitions in progress, like .NET -> .NET Core or C++/CX -> C++/WinRT, but it's fairly clear which one is legacy and which one is taking over; it just takes time. The buckets themselves are also fairly well defined.

The only clear overlap is between all three stacks when it comes to UWP apps. But none of them try to position itself as the "one true stack" for that platform - they're presented as choices, depending on one's existing skills, perf requirements, and cross-platform needs or lack thereof.
That comparison looks quite biased. Features and yes/no answers seem to be carefully picked to promote AppImage. Especially "Objectives and governance".

Treating "Can run without sandboxing" as a feature is dubious.

The "one level below me" remark was in reference to Google's employee classification system/hierachy. Should've been obvious from the context (the author mentioned he himself was classified as "UI Designer Level II").

It stoppend being "trendy" sometime in the last millenium. "Trendy" isn't the same thing as useful or widely adopted, though.

They also get dropped and replaced by the next "trendy" thing at a faster rate than ever.

I don't know what ill be doing in 6 months. I don't have a financial buffer. This is scary but it fits my hippie-like personality. Not to say you should not have anything lined up. You also should not mind 60-80 hour work-weeks or dealing with stressful situations. These are personality traits that provide a good foundation that allow you to be independent.

If the need is there, I am certain I can trust on my network (of friends & ex-colleagues) and my own skills to help me get a job.

Because the association neocortex is thought to be a storage location for memories, the researchers theorized that this neural dialogue could help the brain retain information.

Taking this further, ignore what the competitors say they do, but take into account what your market and potential customers do with those competing services.

e.g. A competitor may have launched a bunch of new features that nobody needs or uses. You follow what they do to compete. You then focus on things that don't work when actually, all competitor's customers buy the service for a few core features that they don't shout about, or aren't actually improving (mistakenly).

You can be better at listening to competitors' own customers then they do.
Because Oracle is continuing to put a lot of R&D resources into Java and is generally not doing a terrible job with nice work around modernizing the language, contributing non trivial innovation around e.g. the Graal project, etc. Like them or not, Oracle is doing a lot of heavy lifting and most of it is released through Openjdk as 100% OSS under the GPL.

So, neither IBM nor Red Hat have any big issues with the status quo. They get to do their own thing, support their customers, and they get to ship openjdk with no strings attached.

Teacher at school, teach java. They needed like 10 year to be able to teach java.

They don't want really but they don't have choice. Can we manage that they learn how to program, and not a specific language. Specially when it's not the better one? Only because there's some demand on the market is making the current language. Now there's no more Java offer, only few one.

We always (in my country specialy) lake of fast moving, it's why these change make 10 year at least for that we adapt.
And that's the same reason HTML/CSS are so complex. Everyone is contributing to standards, which is already hard to do, and many of the contributing parties have competing platforms. It's in their best interest to, if not sabotage, at least make the web platform super complex and clunky to discourage or slow down development.
From my POV:

> TLS requires ALPN.

Supported by recent versions of Ruby pretty well, but as you say, older versions, not so well.

> Setting up more advanced TLS is highly undocumented.

It was slightly tricky with Ruby but it provides the appropriate callbacks and the documentation is reasonable: https://github.com/socketry/falcon/blob/940c25f4d19e9ad900ce...

> How do you test TLS?

I specifically solved this problem by using a self-signed local certificates and certificates store: https://github.com/socketry/async-rspec/blob/master/lib/asyn...

That code makes appropriate contexts available for client and server in unit testing.

Additionally I hacked this together: https://github.com/socketry/localhost

It generates local self-signed certificates which you can easily use with a web browser. It solves the "localhost development via https" problem.

Yep, if you think about it, the above advice is nothing but "common sense" and good medicine practice.

The point is that the decision between a normal birth and a C-section is to be taken on a case by case basis by a (hopefully) competent doctor and not "planned" (one way or the other) in advance or decided because of other reasons.

Anecdata, my uncle was a surgeon and he always repeated us that "if it is really-really, and I mean really needed, than go for it, but otherwise never let anyone cut through your body".
I meant something more than that. Maximally guided instruction doesn't rule out checking for understanding every 10 seconds for instance. It doesn't rule out choral responses. IMO the main benefit of explicit instruction is that it provides a framework for constructing the prompts that check if each atomic concept has been correctly generalised. It's extremely hard to do as a teacher and requires deep subject expertise and very good technical abilities regarding how to communicate.

FWIW, the author of the quoted paper addresses the "appeal to authority" in the very next paragraph:

> I’m reminded of the old Punch cartoon where a mother beams down on a military parade and proudly exclaims, “There’s my boy, he’s the only one in step.” Is Wilson the only evolutionary biologist in step? Scientists dislike arguing from authority, so perhaps I shouldn’t have mentioned the 140 dissenting authorities. But one can make a good case that the 2010 paper would never have been published in Nature had it been submitted anonymously and subjected to ordinary peer-review, bereft of the massively authoritative name of Edward O Wilson. If it was authority that got the paper published, there is poetic justice in deploying authority in reply.

Extended Validation SSL Certificate- on Which You Can Trust the Most
The problem with write ups like these is they send the exact opposite message of what was intended to be sent. Even those people who didn't receive the news, will now hear about this.

On the other hand, the entire write up seems to attempt to convince people to keep faith in Oracle. The problem with this kind of talk is you are the mercy of some VP in Oracle, whose one decision could change everything and given the fact they are already thinking of monetizing(and to some extent have) Java, it most certainly will.

In most companies merely migrating Java versions is a process that happens over several months if not years. Asking people to change their entire install bases, and expecting them to not worry about it is pointless. These people have to redo not just regression tests but a range of security tests. And of course even after all that you are still not sure about the future.

The right question to ask at this point is, about the alternatives.

One of the greatest things about Java is the library ecosystem. The language itself is not that enjoyable, but Java has had so much money driving behind it that you will find pretty much a library for every thing on Earth.

The only languages that can match that ecosystem are Perl and Python. And may be Javascript.

My only concern with Java is related to Clojure. I liked that language as a practical alternative to Lisp, if Java has no future, then Clojure's biggest sell 'Java interop' doesn't have a future too.

Neuromuscular Diseases
Neuromuscular Disease is a condition affecting the peripheral nervous system which comprises of the nerve muscles, muscles peripheral nerves and neuromuscular junctions in the imps. It also affects the cells of the motor-nerve found within the spinal cord. I am interested in studying this topic on neuromuscular disease among the pediatric population so as to understand the best approaches for their airway maintenance and clearances within the hospital environment. Through this research, I also aim to find out the biochemical and biophysical characteristics of the lung among the pediatric population that exists in pulmonary exacerbations, and well as their unique pathological and physiological processes.
