It could have something to do with the arrival (soon to be a flood) of much-better financed and regulated stable coins such as the Gemini dollar:

To date, there has been no trusted and regulated digital representation of the U.S. dollar that moves in an open, decentralized manner like cryptocurrencies. Enter the Gemini dollar — a stable value coin (often called a “stablecoin”) that is (i) issued by Gemini, a New York trust company, (ii) strictly pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, and (iii) built on the Ethereum network according to the ERC20 standard for tokens. ...

The stat is from slide 8 of https://www.slideshare.net/adobe/2018-adobe-consumer-email-s... and is clearly ridiculous. The only way the math works is if the 10% of people that are spending over 6 hours per day checking personal email, and over six hours per day checking work email, are averaging really high numbers. Which makes it likely they are filling in their weekly hours, not daily hours.

There is simply no way I would believe 21% of "white-collar workers with a smart phone" are checking either their work or their personal email for more than 6 hours each and every day, let alone the 10 hours a day that would be required to offset the about 50% of people who reported checking less than an hour each day.

>Business doesn't care much about platform...

Businesses would care about the new support bill they would get for C# support. I think there would be a little sticker shock on the part of the CFO when they saw the matching support contract.

The real problem is, they used to get all the support free. Now they have to pay. So if they switch, they need to switch to something just as reliable, equally performant, but free of support charges. Which doesn't really exist.

(Well it does, but that would be OpenJDK. Which they don't want to use. Presumably because they don't get commercial support at the level they need it.)

The people complaining want to switch to something where the commercial support contract does NOT cost money. Which kind of eliminates Java and C#.

corrux | Frontend Developer | Munich, Germany | 50-60K + equity Full-time or Part-time ONSITE INTERNS

corrux is a data analytics company focused on the construction space. We are developing solutions to leverage the increasing amounts of data being collected on construction sites to increase efficiency and prioritize equipment maintenance.

The current construction industry UX for equipment maintenance is dated (see examples [1] and [2]) and fragmented. You'll have the opportunity to drastically improve this experience for project managers and people on the ground.

We are searching for our first frontend developer. We have written a dashboard in Grafana for demo purposes, but we need to create a full-fledged platform to flexibly display sensor readings from construction assets alongside maintenance alerts generated by our machine-learning models. Based on customer contact we are strongly opinionated on how the application should look and act (we hope you view this as a positive), but you'll have considerable freedom in picking the stack. Most of our backend infrastructure is hosted on Azure.

We're looking for someone with a few years experience and a couple shipped products under their belt. Hiring experience is also desirable, since you'll be helping to build out the frontend team in the coming months. Note for part-time applicants: We ask that you only apply for the part-time position if you're open to transitioning to full-time within a year.

Please email me with questions (ryan at corrux.io) or apply directly here: https://corrux.bamboohr.co.uk/jobs/view.php?id=26

College programs aren't being made required in the modern economy because you learn useful things in them. How many jobs in the US actually require that you know things learned in your major?

They are being made required because they are a free filter for hiring departments in companies. Between that and a combination of the facts that most hiring departments seem too understaffed or lazy to actually try and vet candidates, and that if a dud is hired you can use "But they had a college degree" as a defense, you get situations where companies are requiring you to have a college degree just to work in a call center at 12/hr
Photoshop for iPad Hands-on: an Exclusive Look
Hello! This is a little plugin I threw together after wondering how I might be able to use Transcrypt[1] alongside Django. It's in its early stages (no tests) and has a limited feature set (no class-based validator support; only functions), but I think it's a neat proof-of-concept for a useful application of Python-to-JS transpiling.

Let me know what you think, and I'll try to keep an eye out today so I can respond.

Having two IP addresses is all that is necessary for most private networks, it's just a dumb and over complicated way of traversing nodes. Same with 2^24 IPs.

"Access to the private production network should all happen over an encrypted and authenticated VPN"

IPsec, likely the same thing that'd be encrypting your VPN, can just be used directly between hosts without complication if you have all public addresses.

"and all access form the production network to the public network (if needed at all) should go through a filtering proxy server."

Why does it have to be a proxy? Why not just a firewall sitting in the route path? Again, the way you're use to working around a limited address space is leading to complicated solutions to problems easily solved by having more addresses.

In computing very little is "necessary" but it doesn't mean it makes much sense for it to be that way the same as programming your cloud application with NAND logic doesn't make sense.
I like it that way. Keeps my rate high while doing trivial CRUD applications.

On a serious note, I still think Java has one if not the best ecosystem of any language. Fast JVM, lots of high quality Open Source libraries/frameworks, tooling (IDEs, monitoring, debugging) and if you have a problem you probably are not the first one and usually find an answer.

Being able to manage the link endpoint without having to republish the materials is a big win for time/effort and sometimes is just not possible.

It's not YOUR startup. Your startup would mean 100% of ownership.

(from another answer)

> 20% for me for now because I work remotely.

Do you have any documentation for this 20% stake ownership? If not, you can be replaced in an instant.

Are these two founders in the same country? Yes, well expect to have decisions made without your input.

There is also the challenge of the other founders appreciating your input into the company. You are doing everything. They won't appreciate this and they won't see the amount of work either.

Non-technical founders know squat and they don't care either about how much time it takes to do things.

------

I've gone through this myself. I was a "founder" in 1 startup with a non-technical founder and before that I was a "small" equity holder in another company, which was founded by 3 non-technicals.

In both circumstances I was just an employee doing my job. No upside at all. I didn't come away with anything but experience in the respective industry.

------

If you are going to stay, then I suggest to learn how to implement the tech for this startup and in turn, can provide you with a springboard for your own startup and if this is the case. Ensure you are getting paid!

Hi romantomjak, Thanks try it out.

I will move the glitch link to the top and see what I can do about adding a nice screenshot. And about zulip, it's a better alternative to slack, irc or gitter. I will see how I can make it better.

About the docker file, I personally haven't used docker and I don't think the app requires an dependencies expect for node modules and the app is actually cross-platform and lightweight. So I would like to know what would be benefits of adding a docker-compost file.

Lastly, I want to know about how the install flow went If you tried it.
I've been in the same situation and here's what I learned: You will mostly never be able to revisit and refactor code 'once and for all' when it's deployed into production. The choices you make now will affect you in the future.

Instead your focus should be to take some time regularly and make some changes to keep your code from becoming a chaotic vengeful mess of a spaghetti bomb. The best analogy I have is something akin to gardening: it's through constant care and weeding out of bad vegetation that you have a great garden. You can't leave your code unattended and must always tend to it...

The thing about Brave New World is, it's awful in a bunch of obvious ways, but it's distinctly not awful in many more ways that we've all learned to ignore. Outside the reservations, no one goes hungry, no one is lonely, no one needs fear violence, no one is homeless or jobless or denied basic medical care. There are millions of people in the world today who would give anything to live as well as the lowest Epsilon in BNW.

It's a bad place. But I think the world we live in today might actually be worse.
> To distinguish between those and our moon, you can use the proper name 'Moon' (capitalised) or Luna if you are so inclined.

No you don't. Not in english at least. The moon or sun is understood in context and with the article "the". "The moon" and "the sun" without qualifications is understood to mean earth's moon or earth's sun. General references like "a sun" or "a moon" connote non-specific and non-identifying moon or sun. If you want to specifically identify other moons or other suns, you qualify it like - the moons of jupiter or sun of X solar system.

As an example, the recent SpaceX announcement.

"The proposed trip—a trip around the moon for two passengers lasting about a week—is almost the same as a scheme hatched by the tourism company Space Adventures, whose president told Quartz last year it had two clients booked for the mission."

>but the idea that learning facts can be detrimental to someone's ability is interesting.

It's interesting. I would say the issue with this idea is, is you can't predict how learning random information and combining that into new ideas will benefit you. The only reason this worked for Holmes was because his character was written that way, not because it necessarily has any merit. Maybe it reflects the thinking of the time, or Doyle's own beliefs on the matter.

Although I don't think there's a problem with being choosey, like maybe you don't care about the WW2 Pacific Theater, so why learn facts about that when your interest is the history of computers?

Sounds like Sauce's Trip Hosley made the right call hanging up the phone when Groupon's Andrew "Andy" Johnston called:

http://sfist.com/2013/08/19/groupon_salesman_threatens_resta...

>Groupon Salesman Threatens Restaurateur Because He Hung Up On Him, Gets Canned

>Groupon Area Sales Manager Andrew Johnston got on the horn to Sauce restaurant last Friday, and spoke with partner Trip Hosley, a co-owner of Sauce's two locations. As the Inside Scoop reports, Hosley was busy at the time of the call and had had enough negative experiences with Groupon to not want to waste another minute on the phone with a salesperson.

>Johnston, though, took things in a pretty unprofessional direction, however, when he shot off an email to Hosley right after the call threatening to bring down the wrath of bad Yelp reviews on him in response to his rude hangup. To wit:

>Hi Trip!

>I sincerely appreciate you hanging up on me. As a resident of San Francisco for over 25 years, I have a huge network of friends (ages 25-40) that all are extremely active on Yelp as well as other social media. I will gladly let them know how you treated me as well as my feelings about the people who run Sauce.

>Go Giants!

>Andy

https://www.facebook.com/SauceSF/posts/unbelievable-customer...

>Andy,

>You must be new to cold calling, you might want to develop a thicker skin, or work for a less despised company.

>Despite what you might think, you have NO right to my time. I told you that I was not interested and asked you twice to remove me from you call list, as I have EVERY time I have been called by a representative from Groupon since our last, horrific, experience with your company. I do not have to give you any more chances, you do not have the right to interrupt me, take time away from my already busy day or to force me to listen to how new and wonderful Groupon is, I am not interested. You would be saving yourself time and energy by removing me from your call list, and focusing on business with whom your company has not already burned bridges.

>We had a relationship with Groupon, Groupon messed it up, we no longer want to have a relationship with Groupon, end of story. After two or three years it would seem like you could respect my wishes as a business owner not to deal with your company and leave me alone.

>All the best,

>Trip

The most annoying part of your work will definitely be "interviewing" and Knowledge transfer sessions for the foreseeable future. Thinking about this even gives me a headache.

Just to be clear, I see no reason to use Snap/etc. over older packaging solutions. However I wouldn't necessarily agree that this automatically increases fragmentation. If Snap/etc. were to support Ubuntu, debian, Redhat, etc., they could provide maintainers a single target across many systems. Then the maintainer could just target that solution and be done. Of course this requires them to win that developer marketshare, but if they believe they can, then they believe they can achieve their goals without fragmenting they system.

I personally don't see the need for these systems, but I still see absolutely nothing special about packaging. No maintainer has to support these new packaging methods if they want. If some developers believe they can introduce new and improved packaging systems, I wish them luck.
