Speaking as someone whose inclinations are, if anything, philosemitic, I find this entire line of criticism disingenuous and hypocritical. Comment forums are trash and if I were Claire Lehmann I wouldn’t have them on my site in the first place, but when it comes to the content Quillette curates and publishes, the overwhelming tendency is in service of exposing and condemning anti-Semitism and anti-Semitic conspiracy theories:

It’s disingenuous to tar one side for their comment threads while making excuses for political leaders on the left who condone and even court anti-Semitism, such as Jeremy Corbyn, Jesse Jackson, and Bill Clinton.

People are fickle when it comes to adding ethical considerations to their purchasing decisions. The same person who will buy the cheapest meat without considering how the animal was treated will also vote for stricter animal welfare laws.

In terms of worker's rights, I expect there would be more support for laws governing higher minimum conditions for workers of imported goods than there would be support for more expensive products that directly compete with cheaper products made by more exploited workers.

People don't need most of the shit they buy in general. We don't need literature, music, cinema, fine tasting food, or any of that stuff.

Not sure what that's supposed to mean, though.

Certainly humans have crossed the boundary where they can care about things that go beyond their needs and satisfy other desires.
Agreed on the Bob Martin book. For project estimates I have presented estimates this way and I find that executives understand it and it lets me present an estimate and a commitment separately in an understandable way. A summary of his explanation of estimates as probability distributions is here: https://codingjourneyman.com/2014/10/06/the-clean-coder-esti...

I've read the comments here, and perhaps due to my job not being purely software development, I have a different impression of Repl.It. I'm much more of an infrastructure guy than a developer, (DevOps? So overused) and I'm not overly ashamed to admit I learned to code with Powershell, mostly via their integrated scripting environment. Trying to make the switch from ISE to pure Python was extremely difficult for me, because I was so deep into the REPL style, and I just wasn't prepared to have things obfuscated and invisible. I wanted to re-run specific lines of code, and determine variable values on the fly, so I could adjust if needed.

Eventually, I learned Ruby (and abused Pry for a long time) "correctly" and I"m re-learning Python the proper way now (and abusing pdb), mostly with VS Code, but there are some very large gaps that are easily filled with a good REPL, so I find myself popping over to Repl.it to test out some snippet that isn't doing what I expect. Perhaps there is an IDE setup that would do what I want while enabling me to be more productive, but learning a (usually lightly documented) tool, full of various assumptions, while trying to learn the actual language, AND get useful work done, is not an ideal combination.
That's definitely an omission on my part, that's an interesting story and a needed attribution. Will add in a revision soon!
Side note: the study you cite had the question as "is cloud computing affected by weather patterns?" This finding leads one to believe that nobody actually knows what the cloud actually is, but that is a bit sensationalist: technically data centers can be down due to weather-related power outages.
>I second questions about whether you were looking for another job

I pick up consulting work where I can but fact of the matter is, most companies want degrees. I don't have one. I also have a bankruptcy which automatically makes me persona non grata for many companies such as anything remotely dealing with finances or customer financial information, anything requiring a security clearance, etc. "he filed bankruptcy, he might try and steal customer money" "he filed bankruptcy, he's more susceptible to recruiting attempts for potential espionage" that sort of thing.

About the only thing worse for employment thank a bankruptcy is a criminal conviction, felons truly have it the worst. Make a criminal mistake and you have a giant scarlet letter, manage your finances poorly in your youth and you automatically lose the ability to be hired for some industries.

I applied to a company doing the same thing I do now, they flat out rejected me for not having a degree citing they wanted someone with a four year degree, despite the fact I've been doing the work twice as long as their company has existed. As I said in another reply, sure I could go get a degree but doing a degree while working full time, that's probably going to be 6 years for a 4 year degree and be 20-60k$ of debt, so I'll be 40-ish gunning for entry-level work against 20-22 year old applicants. Ageism is unfortunately very much a thing in non-tech companies and is absolutely an issue with startup culture, VCs simply don't like anyone in their 30's or higher and many VCs, co-founder of YC Paul Graham included, are on the record with opinions that they prefer younger individuals.

>programming job. Have you tried? If not, what prevents you?

I used to program for MUDs as a teen, I hated it (mind you, c++ isn't exactly an easy language). I hated it for recreation and I'd rather stand on my head than go into the field. Why trade one field I hate for another field I hate (and would likely hate even more, that I'd probably also be mediocre at at best) that pays more?

So people will say "do what you love" yeah well, I've been working since I was about 12 (legally, 3 cents a paper delivered) and full time since turning 18. I haven't had time to find out 'what I love'. If sucks but hey it is what it is.
Articles written in the US about the US military destroying cities to "save them" are always positive like this.

Compare that to American media coverage of ISIS's "Management of Savagery" (e.g. https://www.cnn.com/2015/11/14/opinions/paris-attacks-isis-s...) in which essentially the same strategy of destruction, rebuilding, and recivilization is described as 'the end goal is to inflict significant political, economic and social consequences through "savagery"' (a complete misunderstanding of the tactic, if not a purposeful fabrication).

Simply put: this is not a strategy for "saving cities or people". That drinks directly from the propaganda line. It's merely a tactic for gaining control of a population and geography as an aspect of a larger strategy to achieve national/group interests (be they oil, geopolitical, religious...)

Your response is from an IT consumer's viewpoint.

"Cloud" is not a thing one buys and one's reputation has nothing to do with the reliability of the services consumed, but the reliability of the services provided.

To put it more succinctly, "you own your availability".

In the end, "cloud" is a commodity and all cloud providers are trying to get vendor lock-in. My goal as a manager is not to couple my business revenue linearly to any particular product or service.

The suicide rate of Foxconn has always been significantly lower than the US. Part of the reason is because healthy, working adults aren't likely to commit suicide in the first place. Even so, in 2010, which was by far the worst year, 14 Foxconn employees committed suicide out of 930,000 employees [1]. The US suicide rate is 13.7 out of 100,000 [2].

Prices wouldn't even have to rise. The gross margin on an iPhone is ~60%, meaning there is plenty of leeway to improve working conditions while maintaining profitability. Of course this would mean less profit for shareholders and executives, so this would never happen.
And it was being used as "evidence" by the side with the much shakier stories.
The fact that I can't easily use a Yubikey for 2FA with KeePass has always made it a nonstarter for me. After experiencing the comfort and peace of mind I get with "master password PLUS Yubikey" in Bitwarden and LastPass, I could never go back to just having a master password that could be keylogged.

Yes, you can have a static "keyfile" on a USB stick that you use for 2FA, but that could be easily copied. "But if they have physical access it's already game over!" The scenario I am concerned about is unlocking my master database on a computer I don't own, like at work. I can do that with Bitwarden.
I educated my appreciation for painting by putting up a slideshow from Hermitage (high res images) with 5 minutes per painting, running on a spare monitor in my direct field of view. Kept this setup running for a couple of years, and it gradually seeped in. No need to rush it, just enjoy. Sometimes you can find articles on Wikipedia about the life of people in those paintings. It's like time travelling to the past.
Just a heads up, I think there's an error in the description next to the graph estimating work time.

I'm seeing this message:

>>> Total is expected to be about 22.3 days.

>>> * likely to be greater than 15 days (p = 95%)

>>> * has a 50% chance of exceeding 20 days

>>> * unlikely to be less than 33 days (p = 95%)

Is the last bullet point correct? Shouldn't it be __likely__ to be less than 33 days?
Oh wow I can't sleep without a fan. I stayed at a hotel in Berlin with no a/c or blower option and I had a terrible nights' sleep. The follow year when I went back to that hotel, they had a fan waiting for me. Bless them.

From the article:

Teradata alleges that SAP used the partnership to learn about Teradata’s core data warehouse offering, so it could then engineer its own competing solution. Moreover, Teradata claims that SAP is increasingly focused on making its own competing data warehouse the only viable choice for interacting with its other, more established products.

Just history repeating itself.

They are rediscovering the PMI ad-hoc.

Not because the Agile ideas weren't better but because human and hence organisational dynamics still are and will be the same.

No surprise then, that as Agilists are gaining traction and power they are making their Agility more rigid and dreaming of Chief Agile Officers and roles like that.

Organisations have power structures and position there determines progress and survival.

They have to de-agilize agility to survive. If not they will have nowhere to go, nothing to latch onto when things go wrong
I recommend this iPad-book 'Let's Learn ES6' by Ryan Christiani [1] to bring you up to speed with some of the features of modern JavaScript. It's got videos on it!

https://bubblin.io/cover/let-s-learn-es6-by-ryan-christiani

Another resource that I like is Wesbos's video tutorials on all things JS. He has a separate course on ES6 which is great! And then there is MDN.
Not really though. Every time it's used as a plot device to create suspense but in the end the hero or villain has been trained to beat the polygraph and get away with it. So they actually perpetuates the idea that it's fallible / can be fooled.

Great outage ticker by DHH on the longest Basecamp “outage” in 10 years! It was only 5h. I know that feels long for users, and it is. However, it wasnt even a complete outage, but instead brought the app to a read only mode. And 10 years is a really long time to go with a 99.998% uptime.

Everything about this is amazing to me. Rails and good small dev teams still rock, probably more so now than ever!

I've been on the lookout for a lightweight blog engine for a while. This looks really nice!

Some suggestions for you:

- You might want to include a direct link to your sample editing experience from the page linked to above. I found it on your Github.

- I think it's really important to support "import image from clipboard" - much like what Twitter does, for example. This is huge for usability, especially for folks who don't want to / don't understand how to embed images into blog posts.
I think they can afford free shipping via a couple of ways. First, there's book rate with the USPS that's used to ship books and reading materials at a discount. Second, since they're a nonprofit, albeit a B-Corp, they might qualify for an additional discount since they're a volume shipper.
In Lisps, a function is also just a reference, and not the object itself. You can't take its size or copy it. (You could copy it if your dialect provided a copy-function function, of course. I don't think I've ever seen one. Such a thing could be useful if it provided a frozen copy of a closure's lexical environment, that would be unaffected by mutations when the original copy of the function is invoked.)
I disagree. Webstorm provides all of the tools you need to customize your build, you don't have to use them at all but they're there when you need it.

Webstorm integrates with popular build tools like Webpack and Gulp, and adds support for more tooling all of the time through plugins.

There is really no reason to use another IDE for JS/TS unless you can't afford its very reasonable price.
I’m tempted to buy one just to play around with an unconventional ISA. I don’t think this is meant to be a Pi alternative.

How many home routers aren't compromised or have known vulnerabilities? It would interesting if a study looked at a random sample of the population of home routers to determine this. Go to people's homes and actually check. These articles always seem to look at it from the "how many compromised routers have we found so far" angle. I suspect that if the story was "90% of home routers have known unpatched vulnerabilities", these security issues would be taken more seriously by the companies responsible for them. And if they don't act, regulate them out of existence.

Start writing the brief/project charter with all the stakeholders to map out their expectations. Based on it, create the initial plan for the project by breaking it down into smaller tasks, grouped by task lists for better organization. What we do next is to analyze any similar projects we had in the past and how long it took to complete them, so we can estimate time budgets for new tasks.

Our clients use https://paymoapp.com, where we add the initial plan as a temporary project. Once all time budgets and costs are set up, we convert the project into an estimate and share it with the client.

The client then reviews the estimate and either accepts or rejects it. If accepted, we go into production.

It takes large team to produce a pages so bad as the Google landing page, blogger etc. For me, just about anything Google I looked at is to a well crafted website what elevator music played with a 1000 man orchestra is to someone with a guitar singing a really good song. The scale and the available resources makes the result worse to me, not better.

A few points here:

From the orthodox Marxian perspective, it doesn't make sense to think of a "socialist economy", since the idea of economy is rooted in the law of value in the first place, and Socialism is supposed to abolish the value form. A "socialist economy" is an idea that has its roots in Lenin and only came to fruition with Stalin.

>I'm not sure why the author thinks that would change

The author, posting on libcom, is probably not a Stalinist or a Maoist, but rather an orthodox Marxist or left-Communist. Libcom is a website very much oriented away from Stalinist Communism.

One of my first jobs was writing PHP when editors only had syntax highlighting support for the language. I learned to write, debug, and refactor in Vim and 15 years later I’ve continued to do the same for Java, C, C++, JS, etc. Projects with 10s of KLOC (one of them might be 100s).

It’s a different state of mind from IDE users. Not better or worse, just different. I’d hate to be stuck in IntelliJ all day, but most of my colleagues love it. As long as we’re all productive, to each their own.

That said, I’m a polyglot, so learning specific IDEs and plugins for all of the different languages and DSLs I use throughout the week sounds miserable to me).

I like the idea and could see myself using this. After trying the tool a bit, I liked it and had some thoughts.

I think your landing page communicates well, it was pretty clear what it was going to do. The only thing I wasn't sure about is if the tool is also meant for teams larger than one. Then I would need to be able to enter different costs based on different roles, but I'm not sure if that's the target audience.

You said the project is half finished, so I assume you have tons of small UI improvement ideas already... But I would really prefer a different method of adding new lines/tasks over just adding every type on add :), for example a dropdown with an add button.
Questioning doesn't have to mean doubting. People are curious, it's normal.
I don't estimate, I work the other direction.

How much is it worth to fix? That's a much easier value to discover.

From there work backwards to determine how much to spend and where to prioritize.

Eg: a bug generates 3 email and 3 phone support issues per day, at a cost of 1h or $33/day - $12k/yr. Easy to justify spending one dev-week on the issue ($6k).

Or missing feature that lost a sale of $50k easily justify $5k to make some progress.
