Yes but anything that goes into Ubuntu needs to work on all systems, not just System 76 devices. This would like reduce the realistic rate of change, even if they were (co-)maintainers of all the relevant packages.
I thought it was assumed that the files, once downloaded, would be distributed locally on floppies. The sub-archives were usually 1.44MB to fit on a 3.5".

When did resumable BBS download protocols become a thing? ZMODEM at least was widely used by the early '90s.

Discussions that change someone's racism or the penchant to mock the disabled generally don't happen on the internet. In person, with friends perhaps, but not on faceless forums where people are more likely to double down on opinions in the face of criticism when they are as extreme as racism.
If you divide by 2^15, you have 1pps, but two states per second (high/low). That might be enough.
In my very personal opinion, anyone who willingly decorates their home with networked IoT devices, especially those talking to a external service, has already lost. With the increasing number of gizmos it's more or less inevitable that one of them (or rather all of them) ships with a gross, easy to exploit (an definitely wormable, because you know it'll be) oversight compromising your network because you're one of a million people getting owned by a bored skid.
You want less timeboms in your home, not more. It's silly. Scale back, stop trying to mitigate around it and just don't buy this crap. You wouldn't keep a hand grenade with a toothpick for a safety pin on your desk because it'll be fine as long as everyone is really careful with it.
But like I said, that's just the very angry voice in my head shouting into the void.

>But don't paint Assange as anything other than a person who publishes the truth.

But he isn't that. Even in the most charitable interpretation you have to admit that both Assange and WikiLeaks editorialize, curate, and time releases, usually for political goals.

In the last few years, they've also been shown to coordinate with Russian intelligence to the point where they are see as either a front, or a willing patsy. This is the conclusion that multiple western intelligence agencies come to, including American, British, French, Dutch and German.

You're parsing this too narrowly. I'm not making a claim about the purpose of each request. I'm looking at the totality and saying that maybe making 200 requests to display 200 words of content is overkill.

The larger claim was that the pages are loaded with junk that affects the performance of the pages. The signal:noise ratio on modern sites is broken, and optimizing the junk can only accomplish so much. Developers need to advise stakeholders of the downside costs, performance among them, of loading sites with bloat.

Germany.

At the end we compare numbers as life itself can´t be compared. Living in a certain town and certain country. Costs of living vary from country to region.
I choose to freelance as it means more income and less social security. I´m not having paid vacations plus the bonuses of an employee.

I never worked more than 40 hours/week though. Not as a freelancer, not as an employee. This is not game development. Nonetheless I worked for a agency recently where the employees got jobs like: here are 30 layouts for a Magento shop (by a designer who neither knows responsive design nor shop systems) and the template needs to be done by the end of the week. I´m not making this up. Companies like this are not running sustainable and you IMHO you should get out there as quickly as possible.

I started developing ecommerce sites back in 2008. Worked for a specialised web agency (size: around 20 people) back then and got around 1600 Euros/month net, after taxes. I don´t remember the precise numbers any more.

I started freelancing in 2011 and got a higher income (not in the first year though). I served mainly small businesses. I still have the numbers. They are net, post taxes and health insurance already paid.

2011 15045 Euros 
2012 34826 Euros
2013 28320 Euros
2014 46582 Euros

Decided to travel afterwards and give a regular job a try when I came back. Got a position as PHP / Web developer at a small agency (size: 10-15 people). Now relocated to the south of Germany. That would have been

2016 48000 Euros pre-tax or 25560 Euros net

Probably a small bonus added at the end of the year as well. I never found. I quit after a few months as I figured out that being employed is not my cup of tea. I earned about 30.800 Euros pre-tax. You can get some of your taxes back if you don´t work a full year as an employee.

Fast forward: back to freelancing again. Earning between 65 and 80 Euros per hour now, pre taxes Can´t say how much I will earn this year cause I didn´t work last year at all and only a few months this year. Which is sufficient to pay rent (and have enough time to witness the first months on earth of my son).

Developing applications with PHP and JavaScript frameworks. No more small customers, working on full-time project for a couple of months.

There have been studies posted at German portal heise.de in the last months claiming software freelancers in Germany make an average of 91 Euros/hour. I somehow doubt that. Or: depends who you ask and how big your sample is.

Not me and I´m fine with what I make. Demand for freelance developers is high right now, I get lots of requests. How about you guys? :)

It's their perogative, no problem there, but I do find it a little childish that a moderater in that thread can keep their post footer as:

"Eisenhower got elected President for overseeing a war that was ALL ABOUT killing Nazis. We should return to those days." — Cessna"

Why not just ban all political posts?
Jesus that's horrible. I made much more than that straight out of college. But it was in NYC where cost of living is high and taxes destroy you.

The saddest part is that your salary didn't increase much in 5 years? Going from $60k to $70k to 53k euros over 5 years is pretty much tracking inflation. Over 5 years, my salary increased by more than double your entire salary.

You should ask for a raise from time to time or get a better paying job. Especially since DBA/data scientist along with computer security developer/engineer were some of the hottest fields in tech the past 10 years.

Some people can spend a month reading "SQL in 21 days" and get a higher salary than you in many places.
(see: "Flash is buggy and crashes all the time." - Steve Jobs, 2010)

If you ran the developer edition of Flash back then, you'd have seen that 99.9% of Flash "crashing" was a totally avoidable, unhandled exception from a third-rate developer.
Think of it as volunteer work. Lots of people like coding and volunteer their time. Lots of people don’t do this.

This doesn’t mean time isn’t valuable, it just means that people donate their valuable time. And competing with that is a bad idea.

I have a friend who does pro bono legal work. Normal bill rate is hundreds per hour, but donated for free to people who can’t afford it. Been doing it for years.

Now imagine that I start a new legal aide company and only charge $5/month for it. It’s pretty silly to complain about these volunteers. It’s also silly to think that it’s not worth being a lawyer because of these volunteers.

Keep studying, become a good programmer. You’ll have work. Some of your ideas might not sustain you economically. But if you get a good enough job, you can help the world with a cool side project
Even if it is a good developer, I don't believe the qualities of senior developer are being acquired so quickly. Do you really need people lying to you that you are senior to make you feel motivated? Ok I can do that, but I think it's unhealthy for you and for the industry.

What do you want to convey when you write >Senior< Software engineer on your resume? IMO that you have a lot of experience in the field.

Most of the people say they were promoted so their business can sell them as senior. That's BS. I would not like to work with those businesses. Keep calling yourselves seniors.

ps. I dealt with the same stigma, and I would feel ashamed when I joined a team where all the devs were 35+ with 10+ YOE and I would call myself the same title as they did. (I was 21 in this example, with 5 years of professional experience). Am I too humble?
The fact that alcohol and tobacco are legal doesn't mean we should legalise all drugs that are somewhat healthier than alcohol and tobacco. I think we can do much better.

I dealt with this problem on a photo site 15 years ago where people were embedding RAR pieces in their JPGs to use us as a distribution repository. The bandwidth increase was a giveaway so I just wrote an incoming processor that re-compressed everything that had more than X bytes per pixel. I can't believe Twitter doesn't have similar logic given its scale.

Why do we like to be scared?
I think most countries does this. Of course that doesn't make the amount comparable between countries. It is mainly for practical reasons since that is the salary you negotiate for i.e. the amount they pay you (though in many countries the employer would deduct income taxes). In general I think a decent starting point, for higher salaries, tends to be what one can save. Because then people will often instinctively start asking for the bigger picture.

to talk about something new, you need to have something new to talk about

i dont think that scala or clojure have lost momentum
i think both clojure and scala, stopped adding new features that are worthy of blogging about

you cant just add feature, just to keep people talking about you

clojure, is what it is, a nice language, a very smart leader (rick hickey), and a nice vibrant community (check #clojure on twitter)

the most talked about language nowadays is actually c++, and i think this mainly because they suddenly decided to have a very ambitious roadmap, and keep adding features, so there is always something new to talk about

does this make c++ better than clojure, well, i dont think they are even comparable, but it just make c++ more talked about than clojure
Moderating discriminatory statements is fundamentally different than censoring a political oponent.

More importantly, these utter idiots don't even realize they are creating such profoundly anti-democratic precedents targetting a political rival that is actually contributing to their cause, as now they have very real and very specific examples of how they are being targettend and persecuted for their political views.
I know the data for one large cloud. There’s more Ubuntu than all the others put together, by some distance. Don’t see why it would be different on the other public clouds. They do a lot behind the scenes to make it work really well on each public cloud, which explains why people choose it.

China uses infrastructure spending to stimulate the economy, at the expense of enormous amounts of debt. A lot of this spending goes to essentially unproductive construction, like building subway systems larger than NYC's in small cities.

It remains to be seen whether this will pay off, but they were significantly cutting back on spending before the tariffs started.

Unfortunately not. If you spend a long time smoking you'll end up permanently slower in the brain.

Yes, you are right (Thank you for the link). As i was saying, salary is a strange combination of opportunity cost and perceived value. And it's always difficult to understand if they are exploiting you or it's only your fault because you fail to "sell" yourself...
We are a mostly Clojure shop and are very happy with it.

It's very expressive, functional, and allows you to tap into the Java ecosystem if you need to.

Might not be as hyped today as it was some years ago, but the language itself is still a joy to use.

I decided that sitting at a desk was not the life for me (Software Engineer), so I'm working on being a Travel Writer and Photographer. I'm currently writing for about eight magazines, just published my first book, etc.

Language and culture changes are not problems, they're the very reason I travel. Once I learned enough French the West Coast of Africa was great, and English has been enough in virtually every country in the East so far. I need to learn more Swahili.

For Latin America once I learned Spanish I was set for virtually every country I drove through!
Artificial Intelligence (AI) – The Key to Ruling the World
Yep, the RStudio integration is very nice. However, there are other ways of authoring R Notebooks that also allow interactivity, and the only thing that’s missing then is having output inline inside the editable document. Apart from that, if you for example use Nvim-R or ESS, you can write R Markdown, execute chunks selectively, and get a visual, interactive representation of the results in real time that way. And once the document is done, a single press of a button will render the resulting Markdown/HTML/PDF document.

While enzyms in the human body are totally able to cope with alcohol and (which I absolutely do not favor either, for the record), the human body has to "wash out" the remains of pot in the synapses of the brain (which is why there is ZERO alcohol in the blood after a few hours but even after months, smoking pot can sometimes be detected in urine).

I personally have a big problem with really punishing people for smoking pot, I see no sense in it. Yet I see no sign why there should be more people smoking it.

Recently a friend came up to me and told me how great cannabis could be for certain health issues. I just replied: 95% of what you tell me could also be accomplished by good old ginger, no need for weed.

Also: the regular pot smokers in my class in school are NOT successful people nowadays (if people smoke once or twice a year, of course, there seem to be no big issues concerning their success in life).
“Do much better” is a platitude - it conveys zero information as to what you actually believe should be done differently.
Brain-inspired methods to improve wireless communications
The way to stave off censorship (i. e.) regulation is not insisting on the harmlessness of these people, or arguing against the revealed preference that shows that the web is useful for them[0].

It's establishing technologies and customs that reduce the usefulness of the net for extremists.

But all I hear in the tech community are appeals to a sort of moral nihilism that nothing can be done, because it's supposedly impossible to distinguish anti-semitic conspiracies from any other opinion. Or that even the idea of technological changes, or licenses, or codes of conducts, could serve any role in making some tools less useful for the bad guys while preserving its usefulness for everyone else. It's slippery-slope fallacies all the way down. And in many cases, I'm left unsure if some righteous defenders of free speech haven't actually at some point started to identify with the vile cesspool they claim to defend only in the name of the larger concept.

Prohibition doesn’t work. Legalization and regulation do. Alcohol and Tobacco are the proof. We can do much better than a cure which has shown to be worse than the disease.
The conclusion comes without further study. As an example, Professor Xia Zhang from the University of Saskatchewan discovered, which was further repeatedly verified, that marijuana causes neurogenesis [1].

This is interesting because other non marijuana related studies show that neurogenesis ends after puberty [2].

So, then, could the conclusion not be that the sudden growth of brain cells causes a sudden mismapping of information and memory within the brain causing slight issues with memory recall and retention until the brain is able to cope with and understand the neurogenesis?

I’m not criticizing OP per se, just pointing out that I don’t think it’s that valuable.

If my doctor said ve wanted to change my $10 visit to $100, I would certainly not use that. That’s not a criticism of the doctor.

Time costs money and that’s a reality. People want to make money off their business, that makes sense. But saying there’s a floor value to anything just because a human makes it is a bit odd. If OP hires a second person, does that mean we shouldn’t criticize the price doubling?

As a user, I don’t care much for expenses above a base level of ethical practices and sustainability. I’ve not used lots of products because I didn’t find them viable because of their price vs cost. But I’m sometimes wrong.
Not impossible, but very difficult. It's pretty much impossible at big banks. When my company was bootstrapped to $250k/year in revenue (with several years of history), Bank of America wouldn't even extend a $10,000 line of credit. Each year, they would promise that they would be more "start-up" friendly, but it never happened (even when we crossed the $500k mark).

You'll have better luck with local banks that work with startups. We worked with Cambridge Trust in Massachusetts to get a line of credit and it was a pretty painless process. Working with local banks definitely involves forming a personal relationship though, so there's a little time investment. Without external funding, you'll also find even the local banks will require a personal guarantee.

There's a huge gap between VC funding and loans from big banks, so I'm excited to see people tackling this problem.

4 AI Trends That Will Transform the Telecom Industry in 2019
I mostly agree with that, but I think we should definitely still be telling teens not to smoke pot, or really take any psychoactive drugs. And I say this as someone who has done a lot of them. Given that a lot of adults find it impossible to use drugs responsibly, teens definitely should be avoiding them.

I also think we should be doing it honestly and not telling them that their brain is going to immediately leak out of their ears and they're going to start turning tricks on corners to pay for their next hit.
