In my country is illegal to have someone as a freelance doing the same as a full time job. So I see the point of upwork. If that company is your only client and you are working full time with them, they should hire you (at least in my country).
In my country you have more rights if you are full time employee than if you are a freelance, as for example a monthly pay after they fire you to help you to find another job
Not if you have the misfortune to be a single developer project or having a lead role on a team.

Someone needs to convert those Jira/Trello/Wall/... items into nice Excel sheets because upper management won't look at anything else.

While you are at it including some nice Powerpoints for the weekly/monthly updates.

And on the remaining time do those development tasks, while coaching junior devs at the same time.
I’m a little older, I’m banking my hopes on an option in 30 years. Just visited my grandpa yesterday for his 90th birthday, his body is slowing down but his mind is as sharp as ever.

What you say has nothing to do with languages and it precedes 80s; Watcom, VC++ etc. comes with a debugger because the proprietary system they run on doesn't have one. GNU/Linux always had gdb.

So if you want me to spell it out, here you go: it's bizarre to expect a debugger from modern compiled languages which have been FOSS from the beginning.
I somewhat agree. When I had a content team, sprints made sense, since we adapted it to go in line with Advertising's publishing calendar. Development had to be done at a certain point and once we shipped the pieces, we published.

On my old CMS team and with my current development team, we use kanban because it aligns with how we function. We get ad hoc tickets in our queue, we pass them through a triage lane, then they're picked up by data, dev and qa as they're completed and within the items allowed with our WIP.

Waving a broad brush to say x is what everyone uses, will fuck everyone up. Neither agile, waterfall nor kanban are the ideal solutions for everyone.

Linux distro support for Apple hardware has always been pretty weak; I doubt many people run linux on apples anyway. They ship with a viable unix and better UI, and getting Ubuntu or similar to work well on them is an uphill battle. I imagine most “linux people” are buying thinkpads.
That is because wages are not directly representative of skill or demand.

Cities are more expensive than small town, and wages go up. Software is a lot more profitable per capita, and thus give higher wages. Then again, there is the startup problem you mention.

I am in favor of a point based system, over the mess we have now, but a trivial.implementation could do more harm than good.

Companies should have to make clear distinction between contracting jobs and full time positions. Salaries should be normalized by COL/Taxes.
My unpopular opinion, is that there should be standardized testing (or reuse GRE, TOEFL). In my experience, it id a good proxy for a person's capabilities.
Points on education attaintment are obvious, but they should also take into account the country where they received their education, the course itself and the standing of the university. ( in broad strokes like R1,R2)

I am strongly in favor of allowing easier Visa transfer . Should stop any Corp. from underpaying an immigrant, because they know the employee is stuck with them.
Maybe, but Amazon is uniquely large impact, and makes no sense to cut tax deals, etc for them either.
When your site grows large and you move it to an hosted service, or wants to point it to an Web Application Firewall or a DDoS mitigator, you might want to use a CNAME type record, to point the hostname to another flexible hostname that the vendor manages depending on your traffic and needs.

Now, if your website is hosted at the origin (“example.com”), you can’t do that. But there is no issue with the “www” hostname being a CNAME record. So if you want any scaling flexibility, now or in the future, you should go with the www hostname from the beginning.

Granted, his blog was knocked offline by HN. But would a CNAME have saved their Wordpress site?

Great question!

In most cases, your phone picks up the system resolver when it connects to a cellular or a WiFi network.

The system resolver collects data about what websites you are visiting by looking at the DNS queries your phone is making. This can lead to targeted advertising by your ISP.

1.1.1.1 is a privacy-first resolver, it does not collect any private information.
It looks like this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/EDUP-USB-Gigabit-Ethernet-Ad...
well, yes, unless they can proove that System F is equivalent in expressive power to λω in which case they can go fetch their Turing prize.
Egyptian art had very different conventions and esthetics. But also the cats themselves seem to be different (larger, IIRC, and different colored than the European cats you're probably more familiar with). If you want to take a look at all the kinds of cat-related artwork (including cartoons which I can only call cat memes, like artwork of rats laying siege to a cat fortress or cats whipping a human for unknown offenses), take a look at all the illustrations in Malek's _The Cat in Ancient Egypt_. You can get a high-quality scan from, ahem, the usual place.

One interesting thing about the cat mummies here is that they'll provide additional datapoints on how well fed temple-sacrificial cats were and how they were killed. And perhaps at some point some ancient DNA can be sequenced? Which will give interesting data about how domesticated they were. Bradshaw in _Cat Sense_ argues that the core work of domesticating cats was accomplished by the Ancient Egyptians as a byproduct of their large-scale breeding, necessary for the raising the vast volumes of cats to be sacrificed as offerings.
Seems absurd that a country with 1 billion would have the same quotas as a country with 1000 times fewer people.
Interesting to note that whilst Saudi Arabia can technically extract oil for $9/barrel, they have a gigantic society to maintain on top of all that oil revenue - requiring $70/barrel to break even.
Should you use your turn signal in the turn lane when it's already implied? If yes, what about a two lane when you are in the outside lane? Did you know when you turn you are supposed to go into the closest lane and then change lanes again as opposed to driving through the close lane?

My point is web developers will do whatever they want. Technically you should use www for your website. But if your domain is known for being a website the www is implied and you could make an argument for leaving it out. But no one cares. This isn't linux where you can force users to follow obscure rules to get your software to work. You simply just won't get that traffic. And that, is justice!

So we all know the answer already. Redirect https:// to https://www or vice versa depending upon on your inclination.
It's not 100% coverage, but Android + Termux covers 99% of cases I can imagine. But keep in mind I'm mostly interested in using these things as tiny web servers.
Not only that but they're incredibly janky with the constant stop start, stop start and the hard turns.

Getting on a crowded bus can be a miserable experience, trains are a lot more consistent with their accelerations and don't have 90 degree turns.
Your links show with benchmarks that software prefetching is not always useful, the example being a for loop to traverse a linked list in the Linux kernel.

However, the article at hand shows with benchmarks that software prefetching can be very beneficial in common algorithms such as hash probe, binary search, Masstree and Bw-tree, even when concurrency is implemented in a straight-forward way using (stackless) coroutines.
Usually the claim is that if Agile is not working for you, you're 'doing it wrong'. This article is no different.
The most impressive thing about their rockets are the motors they use.

All modern liquid rocket motors use turbo pumps to pressurize liquid fuel and drive it into the combustion chamber. All other rockets use some fuel to run a turbine that powers the pumps, with the variations being how that entire system is piped together.

The Rocket Lab motor, Rutherford, uses a lithium ion battery and electric motor to power the pumps. This reduces the amount of fuel required to lift cargo into space by about 10% compared to SpaceX’s already impressive Merlin 1D motors.

Also, they 3D print them in 24 hours, all in one part (sans electronics I suppose). Which is incredibly impressive.
I think agile is usually presented as an approach that tries to reduce a split between the business and the developers.

If you take the business out of the equation you usually get development models that just-for-fun open source projects have.

Waterfall is cool with customers and sales, at least it was if it wasn't risky. So agile is a risk minimation strategy.

The reasons given for using www are honestly very weak, just edge cases really.

As far as cookies are concerned, keeping them on the origin ensures they get passed to all subdomains, which is usually a benefit, as opposed to a problem -- which you'll discover when you need to restrict API requests on a subdomain only to logged-in users, for example. And as long as you're keeping your cookie payload small, like a session ID or two, there's zero worry about a performance hit.

And as far as a CNAME needing to point to another domain instead of an IP, has that ever been an issue for anyone? Genuinely curious. I'd never even heard of that until now.

Honestly, simpler is better and "www." is an unnecessary vestige from another era. I dropped it from my sites starting a couple years ago. (Obviously with a redirect in case anyone ever types it.)
Is anyone else tired of this story by this point? Agile was wonderful and beautiful, the problem is all the people who didn’t do it right. We get it.

There used to be a joke, “this job would be great if it weren’t for all the users”. It was supposed to be a joke.
Alibaba is probably the easiest for folks wanting new for that price point, but I routinely see devices at that price point when visiting electronics markets in HK, Seoul, and Shenzhen. Amazon has devices sub $30 new.
Google has almost all of that building, plus most of the two city blocks west of there. There was also some story about them building up the pier west of those blocks?
This is remotely possible, but does not explain the malfeasance in communications toward both parties that relied on Upwork.

Building a Serverless REST API with Function Compute and MongoDB
A problem with publicly traded companies is that now they are an investment. Owners want them to grow faster than the competition or else they switch -- so there is an inherent, let me call it 'artificial', pressure to grow. Lets take the example of Twitter once they have everyone on the world on Twitter and lets say they are turning in a stable profit. For stock owners thats no good. So Twitter would have to figure out to expand and grow some other way and in my mind, at that point it is no longer Twitter, its something else and I would rather that be a different company. You can see this effect in Microsoft. Under 'normal' circumstances Microsoft's parts would be all different companies because they are so different from each other. They have no reason being a single company other than the pressure to grow.
See if you can work remote 1 day a week. Some employers are inflexible about this, but if your work can be done remotely, you might see huge gains from switching up your environment now and then. When you come back to the office you will be refreshed and able to focus on tasks like meetings, social calls, etc that are well suited for cube farms.

I always find "office activities" incredibly awful. Nothing like having an icecream social when everyone still steaming from work they should be focusing on. However, you could try starting an office pool for bagels, cookie of the month club, or whatever. It might be a nice diversion that improves your morale and takes little time away from work.
In some cases these platforms are market response to regulations already in place, like in Finland where I live freelancers use a billing service which basically employs them for the duration of their freelance work, because it's easier and sometimes even cheaper than forming your own company and working with the clients directly. So in those cases, it would be preferable to work on the regulation that created the first problem, not to add more regulation to solve a problem that was created by the market reaction. But having said that, there should be sensible regulation that protects individuals against bad business practices and abusive corporations for sure.
You missed my point. I'm hypothesizing current long waiting times is suppressing people applying for US immigration. If you relaxed those standards a lot more people would apply and also get in by those relaxed standards.

You need to be able to "onboard" those immigrants.

I had an MSX in 1985. As a commercial assembler was way too expensive for me, I had to wrote my own one in MSX Basic. And I couldn't afford a floppy drive, either (it was nearly twice as expensive as the computer itself).
And you know why I wrote my own assembler? Because I wanted to code games and Basic just didn't cut it. So well, I know your pain :)
I'm not anti-immigrant. I'm estimating the number of people who would apply if the US stopped queuing and opened their doors.
This looks like an incredibly poor-quality study. The effect size is small, and there are differing education levels, etc between groups. People should not be paying attention to single studies like this. It's just stupid clickbait fodder. Literally most medical studies like this are wrong.
Not just landing pages either. Lots of eCommerce sites take inspiration from Amazon and the likes, despite Amazon obviously having far more audience awareness and the ability to get away with what would otherwise be questionable UI designs.

Jakob Nielson says something similar about Amazon here:

How would you name that? space-west-1? Cardinal directions are sort of irrelevant.
Chrome messes with the address bar as well.
They do, and it's fabulous, but *.example.com certs from LE do not cover the root domain (example.com) so if you do a wildcard cert, you then must also do www.example.com.

unless I'm missing something :)
I am not sure I quite got your question, and had a very succinct look at the video, but passwd is being used here as a way to check whether the user has root access.

It is important to note that this exploit is an old one, has been known for a while, and is one of the things being addressed by switching to Wayland.

That said, a lot of work has been done towards running X11 rootless (Arch for instance [1]). That should be possible as long as you use DRI, as far as I know (which is the case if you use a graphics card less than about ~10-20 years old, depending on the brand).

Share the wealth! There are other benefits to planting two QuarterHQs in places that aren't Virginia or NY:

If anything, Amazon QuarterHQ3 can go in Wisconsin (though my primary pick for this purpose might instead be a more disaster-resistant part of Florida) and QuarterHQ4 can go in the heart of Texas. It might draw some of the groupthink apart a bit and into areas that actually need new blood, or at least need some blood drawn from NorCal.
> Fructose does not raise blood sugar (!)

It does, but in the absence of fat (>10cal%) in the diet it does not raise it in a significant way.

Why are people still using Upwork? How many of these horror stories do we need to come across before people learn to ditch Upwork for good? Here was another horror story that I read sometime back: https://hackernoon.com/why-you-should-never-use-upwork-ever-... It has been two years since then!

Heck, everyone ditched Digg in a matter of weeks due to a UI redesign. How on the same earth are people still using Upwork despite issues that are for more serious where people's livelihoods are affected?
You might be confusing "aptitude" with "spurious correlations."
Surely the issue of digital cameras was mostly quality?

Back in 1998, using the bundled 8MB CF card a Powershot A5 could store 8 (CCD Raw mode) to 236 (small size, normal quality) images, with the "default" (large size, fine quality) being 44. And of course you could swap cards in and out, and 48MB CF were available for basically infinite number of pictures per card (compared to the 20~30 of a film roll). And a CF card was both lighter and more rugged than a film roll.

What you were getting out, however, was 1MP of compressed JPEG (or 0.25MP in small size).
Does anyone else wish they could do real coding on an iPad, Unix style? That would be so awesome; the new iPad Pro’s especially are fantastic pieces of hardware, and it’s a shame that although you can be productive via word processing, media editing, etc on them, coding is not really viable.

I’ll have to read more about iSH to learn if it’s a “true” shell, or effectively just emulated or with strict limitations, but either way the potential inspires of how great it would be to have a true shell and/or dev tools for iPads.
> Maybe that's the answer - more developer-run organisations.

I don't agree. Once you put a developer in a project management role, he starts to experience problems associated with managing projects and using solutions to those problems.

When that happens, the developer ceases to be a developer and becomes quite plainly a project manager.
So, why didn't the company contract him directly in the first place? We want you to work for us but do so via a third party? Sounds fishy.
You should always use your turn signal even when it's already implied, because that implication is not obvious from every vantage point near an intersection to people who are potentially crossing your path (and who may already be moving towards your path at speed).

> what’s the big deal with eating tuna every now and again

Once a week builds up merc in the body. Merc is toxic. That's the big deal. Smaller fish have less of this problem, but still add to it. Better avoid most fish at this point, we've destroyed the oceans to much, sadly.

> Farmed fish (in this US mostly tilapia and salmon) have other issues, but mercury isn't a generally concern.

I'm an amateur Bay Area fisherman, so as someone eating fish out of the Bay, am often studying up on mercury and PCB levels in species. My understanding is this is not true- farmed salmon are often fed baitfish meal (sardine/anchovy etc). They eat orders of magnitude higher quantities of these fish than they would in the wild, so they bioaccumulate more toxins than they would outside the farm. Let me see if I can find a source.

Some quick googling returns sources supporting both sides, so I'd take either position with a grain of salt.
The links are not only about a loop. The general conclusion is that making better informed decisions about whether to prefecth or not is very hard and that the CPU will have most of the time way more information to make a good informed decision. It also says that unless you proove by benchmarks that it makes sense, it is probably wrong.

Now. This is of course a general case. If you control the whole algo and data structures during the execution, a well crafted prefectch /can/ be beneficial. Again, the general idea of the links I posted is that /generally/ the CPU has more info of the /overall/ system state to make a correct prefetching choice. I think that info/links are usefull/interesting even if they do not apply to the specific case in TFA.

Clarifying a bit more: I didn't post that to contradict the article but just to provide a bit of related info.
I'll get right on that.
Auguries for NYC are not good: NY governor Andrew Cuomo joked at a public event that he'd change his name to "Amazon Cuomo" to get HQ2 -- the same day that the WSJ reported the city was only in line for half of it. And more recent reports are saying that he's planning to bypass city zoning authority, which is sure to go down great with everyone was already there...
