I've been using Chromebooks more and more where upgrades are almost transparent. When I go back to my macbook (haven't been on windows for a while), I'm surprised how disruptive upgrades are. I'll trade far fewer OS features for a seamless upgrade experience any day. I wonder if these OS developers realize the UX implications.

I like the direction of your argument, and your overall conclusion might be true, but I think there are some significant flaws.

First, I think you are confusing the New York STATE tax rate with the New York CITY tax rate. The 6.65% you quote is the rate for the state. The city tax rate is significantly lower.

Second, you are making the classic error of applying a marginal tax rate to the entire income, rather than just the portion within the brackets. Income lower than the bracket is assessed at a lower rate, so the effective rate on the total is less.

Anyway, when I plug the $109,000 salary into a calculator here https://smartasset.com/taxes/new-york-tax-calculator and use a Brooklyn zip 11238, it shows a "Local" tax of $3560. I'm not how it affects your overall argument, but I don't think it's true that "they will easily generate more than $6,100 in revenue per year for the city from income tax alone".
The "tech shortage" in a nutshell.
I'm really exited for the addition of ranges to C++20. Ranges are objects that contain both a start and an end iterator. So you can simplify the APIs of functions that take start and end iterators as separate arguments.

ha... it never works out that way.
The sad irony of my situation. If given the right scope of work I can be productive almost 100% capacity (ie. it's almost like flipping a switch for me to get into 100% flow).

Except I work on a very large project. So my tasks are so much smaller and less significant than I could handle, it probably takes 50% of my capacity just to figure out how to work productively and efficiently. So regardless of my productivity I very rarely let myself work more than 8 hrs / day.

It's sad that in certain environments you're literally just not going to be "allowed" to work at your full capacity at any given point in the day.

I believe this attitude is important because you will get destroyed otherwise.

If you are invaluable to the point of the company not functioning well without you... that is when the knife comes out.. then management of any kind will want to slice and dice your job into 6 different jobs and fire you even if those 6 people combined can't do the same job at the level you did.
Placed in front it would catch particles coming off the motor like lubricant, bits of metal from bearings and carbon particles from the brushes if it's not a brushless motor.
That people who write all those cool blogs/talks and people who write good code or manage projects in great way are different in important ways. Meaning what is good tech/code and what is hip on blogs and forums are two distinct groups. Meaning what is good management is completely different then both feel good and look at me I tough bs you find on blogs.

First piece of advice is to get it in front of potential users ASAP (if you haven't yet). Just to make sure you're going in the right direction. Even just mockups or wireframes is good enough (we started off showing hand-drawn designs at the very beginning).

And secondly, if you want to speed things up I'd look into hiring a developer in Eastern Europe through Upwork. That's what I did and I wish I'd done it a lot sooner.

Happy to talk more. I built my startup on the side and now it support me full-time. Good luck!
With kids stuff, it's generally conventional marketing to put "ages x-y" or "ages x+" front and center. I think this attracts parents, who are a time-starved lot.
I think the answer is yes, but I'd also like to to know why.
I’ve actually built this fan “mod” and when I change out the filter, I’m going to try attaching it to the back instead.

With the filter thoroughly taped to the front (nearly airtight), there’s a large amount of blowback. I suspect that this is reducing the overall efficiency of air filtration.
> Right after that, the article says "cannot be parsed back to its original value" when it definitely can be parsed back. JSON.parse does not do it by default but that was never his point.

The broader point, which is entirely correct, is that you don't get back an exact copy of the object you want to clone, because the date fields don't end up being the same type.
I'd love to try this out. However I see Linux isn't supported. Will there be Linux support in the future? I wonder if this game would work through Proton.
Perhaps strain on the cheap box fan motor as it tries to pull its air through the filter. I've gone through a number of those style of cheap box fans over the years, any kind of long-term resistance very near the intake seems to cause the equally cheap motors harm and shorten their functioning life considerably. I haven't seen the same motor damage problem with resistance added to the exhaust side. In absence of that experience I would have guessed that similar resistance on either side would harm the junk motors all the same.
Medium started with great writers. Few, but good niche writers producing great content that was hard to find elsewhere. Hardly any junk, just great content, well presented.

Ease of publishing, I imagine, attracted more general purpose writers spewing out more general purpose content. More writers (general purpose or niche regardless) is good for Medium.

However, to a sensitive niche reader (like me), this looks like a marked decline in quality and Medium is not a great choice to get my content anymore.

This is probably good for Medium in the short run. I think its fast headed towards becoming a platform for pseudo intellectual, shallow content that attracts wannabe readers and writers. I am sure there are more of this kind than readers/writers who know their sh*t and value their time.

Medium made a choice, and so have I.

Programming has become so generic activity that the word "programmer" tells very little of what people are doing and what their skills are.

From the description of what you have done, you are working in "software assembly" type programming job. You clue things together and get the job done. You know the API's and some standards. Most of the programmer jobs are what you are doing. It's very different from the classical algorithmic programming type jobs and programming.

People who build machines have wide variety of job descriptions: mechanic, welder, machinist, mechanical engineer, and so on. But somehow it's assumed that if you can do "web development", you can do do it all.
This is the way to do it. How an applicant applies process to problem solving and communicates their ideas, is way more important than being able to regurgitate bubble-sort.
> From what I've seen, they have been extraordinarily hazy about what the cars can actually do (e.g., time of day, weather, locations, dealing with non-road complexity).

Not sure this is 100% related, but the driver-assistance technologies in my new 2019 vehicle such as the lane keep assist, blind spot sensors, adaptive cruise control all suffer varying levels in inclement weather. My lane keep assist is completely unreliable in the rain, the collision detection sometimes misfires (but thankfully doesn't brake me) or mistakenly thinks an oncoming car around a bend is in front of me, etc. There are thousands of edge cases I can think of, just with my rudimentary understanding of the technology (namely lidar) are thinking to my self there is just no possible way they have come to a point where they are safe for general use.

There are several factors why LGA has a 1500 miles flight radius restriction (with Denver being the only grandfathered exception), but the primary one is due to the length of the runways unable to cope with larger planes on cross-country routes.
So let's say you'd have to pay a dollar more for a higher quality product that costs two dollars. That's twice the price, and hard for you to justify.

Now, imagine that someone puts a tariff in place so that the low quality product now costs ten dollars, and the higher quality product costs eleven dollars. Sure, you might still buy the lower cost product, but if you are going to buy the product at all, the incremental cost of spending eleven dollars instead of ten dollars seems much more worth it. As long as you have to spend ten bucks anyway, might as well spend eleven and get a higher quality good.

Does anyone have recommendations for bike pants that aren't cycling pants? I only have a ~25 minute ride to work that's pretty simple and urban, but I've ruined several pairs of pants with even mundane, simple cycling. I don't want to buy a bike jersey and spandex... so pants that I could also wear at work would be a welcome recommendation!

I'm saying that it is. If the Austin outdoor ad market looks weak, anecdotally, then it is probably weak everywhere and this article is a lie. Why can't the article just be a lie? That seems like a better use of everyone's time. Just assume the article is a lie and move on

I’m sure the Dexcom developers are good people. And just look at their stock price — things are going well for them since they released the G6, which, well, actually works most of the time!

Their software is still doing trivial things badly and they deserve to feel ashamed and embarrassed that Nightscout could relay an integer value over the Internet to a smartphone years sooner than they could.

I’m very thankful for Dexcom. They’ve done great things for T1D management. They could do much, much better. They are only scratching the surface of what a CGM system should do, never mind a closed-loop system of which they will be an integral part, and dare I say, should be in the drivers seat to a dumb-pump following their orders.
Why should you pay more than the person getting the bulk discount for buying more items at a time? Why should you pay more than the person that negotiated the better car deal? That's what's happening here, a negotiated bulk discount. You can argue negotiations and discounts are unfair, but I'd argue it's unfair to outlaw conditional discounts at this high of a level. And even if you and the majority of your peers believe it is unfair, you can only vote in officials that agree, but luckily those in other communities than you can disagree about fairness and have it their way too.

I never would've guessed turbulent air would be more difficult to push but it makes total sense! Great find.
There are lots of applications, theoretically, but the primary use cases are image classification and natural language processing. It's not worth it for other problem types.

I'm constantly surprised by how much attention it gets given how narrow the scope is. I guess a lot of people need to classify images.
It's just a fan + heater. It's not an air conditioner, nor is it marketed as such.

I have one. It works pretty well. The air filter isn't as good as the massive Austin Air I use for my living room, but it's okay for a smaller room... not to mention much quieter, smaller, and easier to integrate with home automation.
> Am I (and colleagues) a magic snowflake, or are tests a massive waste of time, or is it somewhere in the middle?

Tests are definitely a massive waste of time if you never need them. Write and forget code exists and can certainly run happily for years. On the other hand, frequently changing something in a large existing codebase, especially without static typing, is almost certainly going to end up more expensive without automated tests.
I do this and it works wonders if you have pets.
Tips:
- run this homemade air purifier when you are vacuuming, as that tends to agitate particulates a lot
- get 2 filters, a cheap low grade and a premium, high-HEPA-rated filter. Stack them together and you can replace the cheap one frequently and the expensive one less frequently.

Just like any fan, it makes you feel cooler. It doesn’t actually cool the air.
I think it's too late to get publishers to agree on any kind of sensible conventions within the wild wild web ecosystem. It would require a massive user exodus to an entirely different application for producing, sharing, discovering, consuming and commenting on content with no scripting and leaving presentation/theming up to the user. Just a simple document-oriented markup language, e.g. maybe a subset of DocBook. Ideally it would have no HTML/CSS/JS legacy baggage weighing it down so we can have our RAM back.

Unfortunately the working group rejected the author's proposal that signed integers have wrapping behavior, so signed overflow/underflow remain undefined:

> Status-quo If a signed operation would naturally produce a value that is not within the range of the result type, the behavior is undefined. The author had hoped to make this well-defined as wrapping (the operations produce the same value bits as for the corresponding unsigned type), but WG21 had strong resistance against this.

I've bike-commuted in LA and London, various Chinese cities, and Sydney and cycle toured in many more countries. I would say skip the bike computer - it just adds theft interest and provides little info a cellphone can't give you ahead of time or after, which is safer than reducing focus on the road. Also I would say figure out what you enjoy and get it in to your routine, for me it is uphill. Right now I don't have to commute because I put my family home and our new office in the same development, but I cycle up the nearby mountain most mornings anyway! This feeds in to the major selling point not mentioned: if you exercise, your brain is super awake and you are more effective at work! Another point I would make is that cycling is very time efficient and does not require synchronization with others, two very strong points for busy entrepreneurs. Finally, be the envy of your buddies and stay late at the bar to get all the girls: just chuck your bike in the back of a cab and you are suddenly not only the healthy work-hard-party-hard but also the sensitive responsible new age guy.

My heart goes out to them but I hate seeing Gofundme campaigns used for such purposes. All the time I see campaigns to cover someones medical bills or accident costs. No, we have insurance for that! What happened in California was a natural disaster and will be covered by what every home owner in Cali is forced to pay out every month in mandatory tax for such cathaclism. We as a society will be in very dengerous spot when people start ignoring obtaining reasonable insurance and just hope for successful Gofoundme campaign when things go south.
With it taped to the back, you don't get blowback, but there is significantly reduced airflow out the front. I used a filter of this type for ~2 weeks during the Thomas fire. Worked very well, though the proper filter I received from Amazon a week after I built this worked better. Two is better than one, though!

> nor would I expect to see articles like the following:

That article is a great example of swaying people by pretending the scientific consensus is inconclusive.

Yet if you read what they are actually saying none of them are disagreeing with Damore.
Although inclement weather is certainly a challenge, comparing the sensors in your car to the sensors on a commercial self-driving taxi is of limited use. The sensors on your car are designed to be affordable first and foremost, and likely cost hundreds (or maybe in the low thousands on very high end systems) of dollars each so they can sell the vehicle. The self-driving taxis are designed to work no matter what, cost be damned, so they can build out the technology and let the cost come down later with scale. There are single sensors that cost tens of thousands of dollars on some of the A-list players in this space, and sometimes several of them. The sensors cost more than the car, not to mention the cost of the computers themselves potentially costing more than the car (this varies by company).

As a rough rule of thumb, the companies testing level 4 autonomous vehicles on the road today are paying around $100k-200k per vehicle in hardware costs alone.
That's good, and here is some more including different ways to measure implicit bias that have emerged. The point stands that people aren't objective:

>White applicants get about 50 percent more call-backs than black applicants with the same resumes; college professors are 26 percent more likely to respond to a student’s email when it is signed by Brad rather than Lamar; and physicians recommend less pain medication for black patients than white patients with the same injury.

Am I alone in not seeing the problem here? Cities went into this with their eyes open, no? It was a bidding war to attract a major employer to the city.

Amazon's employees will pay taxes, buy property, and spend money, all of which enrich the local economy and government. That's why they're willing to offer tax breaks.

Any subsidies Amazon could have received from a city, but chose not to would amount to a gift to the city. Why would they do this? City governments are not the first place I would think of when giving to charity.

I'd agree with this.

I used to put the high-efficiency filters on my furnace, my HVAC guy said these filters are so heavy that they put a strain on the blower motor. It's better for the motor to use a plain blue fiberglass filter (MSRP $1). You're not really filtering that much out of a closed house, unless you run your forced-air A/C or Heat with the windows open.
> What clothes will make my manager and coworkers think I write better software?

The kind of clothes that they wear. Which is probably not the same kind of clothes.
Ah, yeah it sounds like that, thanks for checking. I suspected they were recordings because adding the window effects also adds unwanted non-window background effects. I'd have guessed a generator would keep each effect as distinct as possible from the others.
Effective Modern C++ by Scott Meyer is a good tour of new features in the language. I highly recommend it. It's maybe a little too in-the-weeds in some parts but you can just skim those.

It only goes up to C++14 but there's not all that much that's new in C++17. C++20 looks like it's going to be a bigger update, hopefully Scott will come out with a new revision of Effective C++ to address the changes.

You're comparing apples to oranges. The hardware and software running on fully self-driving cars is much more sophisticated than mere assist aids on regular cars. Your car does not have LIDAR, for starters.
I'd guess that if the car's LIDAR is suddenly blinded, the worse that would happen is that the car would slow down and stop. There would probably be recorded data on the incident that might even help find the one who did it.
