Totally agreed.

I always imagined it stems from historical experiences where staff ran off with ideas that they were paid to have within the scope of their employment. So perhaps this is the only way employers have thought of protecting themselves against that. Ie., what other way do we have to offer them?

The article is quite right that multiplying by i gives a rotation. But it doesn't quite explain the reason for this: it's because that's the whole point of defining imaginary numbers in the first place!

Remember you start off wanting to find a solution for the equation:

i^2 = -1

This is actually easier to think about if you multiply it by a general real number r:

r i^2 = -r

In other words you want i such that if you multiply r by i twice, it's the same as multiplying r by -1 once.

This is tough if you try to solve it by analogy with real positive numbers. If you picture the real number line (all the possible r) and multiply it by a positive number, let's say 4, then the whole thing stretches out quite a bit. It's pretty obvious that the way to break this operation into two equal parts is to stretch it a bit less (in this case, by a factor of 2).

The analogy of a stretch for -1 is a reflection: Imagine the whole number line collapsing in towards zero and bouncing back out again. But if you stop this half way then everything has just settled on zero, and doing that twice is obviously not going to get to the whole reflection. No other intermediate point seems any good either. (These are all the multiplications by x where -1 < x < 1.)

The key idea of imaginary numbers is to consider multiplication -1 to be a rotation by half a turn rather than a reflection. That is a lot easier to do half of! As soon as you have multiplication by -1 as a rotation by half a turn, it is obvious to identify i as rotation by a quarter turn.

While this might be a benefit of Brexit, I doubt this was at the top of the list of reasons for Brexit.
my country's government (EU-based) uses GDPR in order to hide corrupt state employees from public scrutiny.
last time it was used to hide identities of local police who were caught on tape causing grievous bodily harm to protesters. the state refused to name the culprits due to GDPR.

the same GDPR is also currently used to turn people away from hospitals, as those require tens of pages of signatures in order for them to be able to treat you.

does it matter to the state that they're abusing gdpr? to the contrary. they've just found another toy to fuck us over.
meanwhile I'm not only abused by the state, but a bunch of US-based websites basically cut off europe from the rest of the world.

in the end all I can say is that while I support the principle behind most EU ideas, the actual law that gets adopted is usually a far cry from what it should have been. also, this sort of naivety when it comes to the state power is still mind boggling. if you think google is bad, you have no idea.
> $50k will not cover many state schools.

That's plainly false. $50k will cover nearly all state schools, in-state.

The vast majority of all state schools are less than $12,500 per year for tuition + fees in-state. The exceptions tend to be among the top state schools, like UC Berkely (~$60k) and Virginia (~$70k). The $50k equivalent would still go a very long ways for those.

George Institute of Technology is $12,500 per year in-state for tuition + fees.

University of Florida is $6k per year.

Purdue is $10k per year.

The University of Houston is ~$8k per year. Texas A&M is $10k per year.

A bunch of the Cal schools are around $7k per year.

The same goes for the city schools in NY (CUNY), those are mostly around or under $7k per year.

UNC Chapel Hill is $9k per year.

UCLA is $13k per year.

The University of Michigan is $15k per year.

University of Texas at El Paso & San Antonio are around $7k per year. Texas at Austin is $10k per year. Texas Tech is $8k per year.

And this is the cost for some of the best state schools. Everybody else is between cheaper and dramatically cheaper. The primary requirement is that you have to go to an in-state school. I'd bet that the in-state median for state schools across the US is a lot closer to $6k per year, rather than $12,000.

I hate code review too, mostly power plays it brings. I had reviewer forcing me to produce code I considered bad - but the prolonged discussion before deadline would mean more wasted time so I did not argued. I have seen code review block code for subjective differences in variables naming (e.g. no convention was broken and both names were fine). I have had code reviewer demanding change, after I implemented exactly demanding next change in his own code and after I complained he just shrugged and said "now I think this is better".

I had seen people misuse code review to force standards that they just made up based on blog dude read yesterday - only to change opinion three weeks later.

I had seen senior developer letting junior work alone for two weeks, only to iteratively force the junior to rewrite all of it to seniors liking. Ridiculous waste of time and cruel.

So, with wrong politics and people it is hell.
I work for an ecommerce company that’s just small enough that as a front end dev I wear a really big stack of hats. I regularly have to reach across .net MVC, React components, jquery, fairly complex scss and JavaScript written to what standards were 6 or 7 years ago in order to implement new features. On top of that, I regularly fill in UX and design work when a designer isn’t available, and I run the company’s entire A/B testing process, and even find myself working with AWS configuration and the build process occasionally. That said, I love it; getting to participate in so much of the process allows me to really get a feel for the entire structure of the site as a whole, and I feel like experience in one area often informs learning in others and helps me communicate with specialists from many different areas. I could see it being a bit overwhelming coming foremost from a design background, but in my experience you do not need a degree to do this work (Mine are in Biology and Psychology). It just requires you to put in the time to research, and I personally think it’s time well spent (and a good boss will account for the fact that you may be learning things on the fly in setting project deadlines). Getting into the nitty-gritty of JavaScript and really understanding how it works and modern best practices will save you so many headaches later. I will say sometimes I feel pretty amateurish when it comes to the design aspect, because it relies so heavily on cultivating good design intuition, but even then I appreciate those opportunities to flex a different mental muscle.
Merkel to Give Up CDU Party Leadership in Dramatic Move
FYI: "I Love Lucy" was a lifestyle business. Lucille Ball was past 40 and wanted children with her musician husband who was constantly on the road. They dreamed up the show as a means to be able to work together and have sane hours that would allow them to be parents.

The industry at the time was so grueling that it was less horrible to reinvent the industry than accept the status quo. At the time, TV was live broadcast twice a day, once for East Coast and once for West Coast. Archival quality footage did not exist. This made for grueling, horrible days for actors and crew.

They invented modern TV as we know it. They pioneered many practices that are still in use today. In technical terms, they were the Star Wars of their day and completely revolutionized TV. Star Wars gave us modern movie special effects as we know it. I Love Lucy gave us modern TV as we know it.

And Lucy got to see her husband regularly and got to start a family, which was all she really wanted out of it.
That doesnt stand up to reason. There was no enquiry into the amount of hours put into this that would indiciate it was second job or exhausting, they also don't do a full enquiry into any other activities outside your work that might exaust you.

Well, if you want to help abolish something bad, you got to be irritated by it first, not just take it's badness for granted because "self-help will be self-help".
The compensation, in Linux anyways, is that others will review your code if you review theirs. So the motivation to review stuff on the mailing list is purely that you need someone to review your code to get it in.

It sounds like quid pro quo but I found the level of review (e.g. for the DRM subsystem) to be excellent, even if it's one AMD eng reviewing some other AMD engineers code in the AMD specific code.

Worst case is adding a little more bureaucracy. Google will stop listing news sites, or at least summaries. The number of visitors will crash and the news sites will be forced to give Google (and others) a free license to link to their content.

It not going to be an issue, some newspapers already allow to access to articles for free is you come directly from a search engine.

The article doesn't seem to talk about any particular industry. There exist heavily feminized industries, which ones depends on the country, e.g. many outsourcing and nearshoring centers in post-Communist countries are, government's and local authorities' office jobs, certain healthcare related jobs.

That's a nice rule of thumb, and like many other good rules of thumb it has an opposite: Don't even try to write code you won't be able to test.

Both of those have good reasons, following them makes sense, and if you're at all lucky there's no conflict.
In my experience, a developer is a developer; given time and an internet connection you can fill in any knowledge gaps reasonably easily (even the kind you usually go to school for), but depending on specialization and experience you can have a project done in a week or you can have it done in half an hour.

It is more like politicians realised they can make a lot of money creating regulations in the internet space for whoever pays more. Just like they do with anything else. They just need to wrap it with nice words and public is going to buy anything, you just need to cook it in the media for a bit. I am being cynical but there are no good intentions in the politics, it is only about power and money. They just need to be careful to not anger the Plebs too much.
Same order of magnitude, still insignificant.
Yes that quite right IMO. Software has been a craft for ages. And I don’t mean it disparagingly, but the number of devs that can think from first principles, know the difference between computing and programming or get “close to the metal”, is relatively small.

I think the same is true of marketing. The number of marketers that are also good researchers is tiny.

And so on.

The common denominator is short supply, high demand pressure, and in all I’m thankful for it because it keeps the wolf from the door for many of us.

But.. it leaves the deeper science/art (whatever yours be) untapped , and it adds so much noise to the market that gold becomes difficult to sell for peanuts.
The peak "redbull-stockpiling" was "so we'd have stuff for later" or "for the office/truck/etc." I've certainly consumed 1g/day of caffeine fairly often. The biggest problem is once you get to that level, you need to hydrate (and...dehydrate) constantly, starting about an hour later, for hours.

Most people wouldn't get the 4 meals a day served (breakfast, lunch, dinner, midrats) all at DFACs. I usually ate once or twice a day in the DFAC, and in the summer, especially if you didn't have a physically demanding job, it was hard to even want to eat once a day in 100-120F heat. I often ended up reverse-cycle so had dinner for "breakfast" and then maybe went to midrats or maybe didn't, usually was too busy.

Coffee from "green beans" (the starbucks knock-off) with a total of 6 shots of espresso into a regular-sized paper coffee cup worked pretty well, too -- I could leave the cup in my truck for a few hours and in 120F inside a closed car it would stay rather hot.

It was pretty amazing to me how different things were at different times/places within the war. There were huge bases (where I nominally lived) with 5mph speed restriction (you could actually be pulled over and ticketed; I was once!), strict "you must wear your reflective belt" policies, multiple swimming pools, world-class hospitals, almost walmart-sized PXes, on-base vehicle registration, etc. There were guys living 6-12 in a house out in the country, and people on long range patrols in trucks and (rarely) dismounted, etc. And everything in between.

"In May 2015, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that defendants whose convictions on drug charges were based on evidence potentially tainted by Dookhan can pursue retrials without having to face more charges or tougher sentences."

So when you come up with a solution to a work problem in the shower in the morning or while lying awake in bed in the evening you could sell it to the employer, since you owned that time?

What happens if you create something patentable in the eve information related to your employer's business, maybe even to your project. Can you patent it yourself and then collect royalties from your employer?

What happens if you infringe Copyright on a competitor on your GitHub project, where your GitHub profile also says where you are working, can the competitor distinguish wether it was you personally or as part of work?

For creative work it is tough to fully distinguish between work and leisure time ... some companies deal with this better though, than others.
I'm fortunate enough at my company to not have to submit to the code review bureaucracy - and I can justify it by having metrics which indicate that my code ships with fewer bugs than the code of other teams which do go through code reviews.

I think everyone should have some level of freedom to work in a manner which works best for them, rather than forcing everyone into the same process. Success should be measured by achievement of business goals and revenue.

For every anecdote you have about code reviews finding bugs, I have my own anecdote about people writing code going through a thorough code review process and the code crashes the first time an end user tries to use the functionality.

So yes, code review IS optional if you can justify it.

No. What happened is politicians have found a new avenue for indirect taxation and the pay off long term is in the hundred of billions if not trillions of dollars over decades.

The simplicity of it all is that it relies on the same two methods most indirect taxation works, ignorance and exploitation of jealousy. The ignorance part is easy, the public doesn't understand the scope of the issue or how it is a tax on their activities. The jealousy is sold by portraying those being taxed directly as not paying their fair share and such. Indirect taxes are the unseen but real burden on your paycheck
Were Windows involved at both ends, you could start with RDP. It has many low bandwidth solutions. It uses local assets on the client to reduce data sent by the server.

I haven't made it through all of the comments on this thread yet but, in case it hasn't been mentioned, HN'ers who are using AWS may be interested in knowing that, Amazon Linux (i.e., the official Amazon Linux AMIs) also appears to mostly be a clone of RHEL.

I can't be certain as I've just barely played with it but, from first appearances, it sure seemed very similar to RHEL and CentOS!

I don't know if AWS is starting with RHEL and rebuilding everything from source and "re-branding" it like CentOS does or if they're starting with CentOS and then rebuilding and rebranding that -- or perhaps I'm completely incorrect and they aren't doing anything of the sort -- but any future changes or decisions (by IBM/Red Hat) that impact the development or future existence of CentOS could very well affect the future of Amazon Linux as well.

That's certainly something to think about if you use the Amazon Linux distribution, just like I -- and, I imagine, a ton of other CentOS users -- am wondering right now about the future of CentOS.

The good thing is that IBM is old and slow and any decisions that might affect the future existence of CentOS will likely take a few years to actually be realized. By that I mean that I don't think we'll see 7.x affected by this acquisition -- or probably even the first couple of point releases of CentOS 8 -- but, at this point, it's anybody's guess whether 8 will live out its normal/expected lifetime and still be around 10 years after release.

As a side note, recently I've been thinking that an announcement of the release of 8.0 should be arriving any day now. I'm kinda curious if this acquisition has affected (delayed) the release of 8.0 in any way.
