I think the problem here is the difference in time zone. Unless you job is made in such a way to be completely asynchronous, that will lead to a very unhealthy life, as you are experiencing.

My advice is to find something else within your timezone +- 2 hours (i.e. at least 5-6 hours overlap with other colleagues)
I read through it. Aside from the mention of 'flavors' I think I'm missing the humor.
Its a sad state of today's food products. Honey in particular is often fraudulent containing syrups and sugars to add to volume while still being marketed as "Pure Honey". Worst of all, it is getting harder to detect the authenticity in modern labs as "honey factories" continue to develop new ways to throw the test results.

real popular in Vancouver amongst the white yuppie crowd.

I was shocked that it cost several thousand dollars...for information and technique that can be self taught.

Also why trash like lululemon is popular here. Vancouverites have no taste, no substance, just whatever will look cool on instagram.
Do you also think that Google should open source all the code and results that it gets from working with that data?
I have a very hard time believing a real CA salary is being paid to remote workers. For engineering at leading companies, seventeen years of experience would be over 400K TC. However, I could believe someone paying a remote worker on the low end of entry-level compensation of around 120K for remote work.

Is the complaint, then, that China gets to profit from US-funded R&D?

Because genuinely, the human race as a whole is benefiting from that R&D — and also from China's appropriation of it — by getting cheaply produced implementations!
Eh. You raise a good and reasonable point but in this particular case I think you're comparing pomes to apples. "Web developer" is a pretty broad term, and was even moreso in 2012 when your statistic was generated. As an example: I'm a "web developer". But if I was surveyed about CSS (as a particular technology I barely understand, avoid using, and don't care about) I wouldn't respond. I would expect a number of my backend-focused colleagues to do similarly for other topics.

Being aware of sampling bias is good and useful; I'd just worry a bit about pulling too hard on that ripcord here.

Olá!

I don't think it will matter, because many times the problem starts at the nursery. There are many nurseries, both inside the EU but also outside, like Morocco for example. When orchards are being installed across the country, it really could start anywhere. Weather does not seem to have any importance in the spreading of the disease.

What happened with the palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) doesn't necessarily apply here: X. fastidiosa infects a wide range of plants including ornamental plants, so it is really a matter of 'when', not 'if' or 'where'.[1]

As of February 2017, there were 132 confirmed cases in Balearic Islands that are now considered lost for the bacteria.[1] As far as I know, there are no confirmed cases in Morocco, which is why many farmers look there for safe nurseries.

If you don't feel like you could talk about it to your manager, I think you should find another manager.
If you occasionally come by the lastest findings in research, as one is want to do on HackerNews, and have also sat center court at a tennis match, you'll realize that both experiences are pretty much the same.

I don't know if this is the replication crisis rearing it's head or not, but being a casual observer of research is too much of a roller coaster for me to try to "optimize" my life based on the latest findings.

In reality, it seems there is nothing new under the sun when it comes to a general guide to live well: try to get a good night's sleep, abstain from drugs if you can, eat healthy foods while maintaining a slight calorie defecit, and get some exercise every once in a while. Outside of that it seems like you're playing with margins.
I've done pair programming through skype, with screen sharing. And I've found it extremely effective. It really feels you're side by side with your colleague and is very effective. Synchronous communication with voice (and possibly video) can be very beneficial to work, unless your company is built from the get-go to be completely asynchronous (and use issues, proj mgmt tools for communication)

Frankly for these life ruining events I support JAIL for the officials. I'm sure laws, already in the books, require them to do the job correctly.

I appreciate it for this.

As a developer, I've tried to research Django-related items before (The Python Django). But as a guitarist, I've also done a lot of research about Django (Reinhardt). Getting the right Django is sometimes confusing when Google knows you have a deep interest in both unrelated items. Codenames are great like this if they're not reused.

An interesting idea, but you have to account for issues:

Small communities tend to do well.

People who believe in the policy they are implementing will work to make sure it secedes, while those who disbelieve will try to make it fail. Your subjects cannot be blind to the policy.
Right, but poor practice in one area usually means the same for other areas. It's Drupal 7.59, which isn't terrible, but does have open vulnerabilities.
Technically the truth. But they might not get the same productivity because the team you'd be joining would be in SF or wherever. If remote working were perfect and the norm then no problem.
Agree. OP's use of "Product management" is not the usual one - but many companies have fuzzy concepts/boundaries between the two so that may be the route.

Usually products without someone filling the product manager (not project manager) role in some way suffer for it.
Yeah, I'm totally fine with Google being 'impeded' in this way.

Well, it would be, and it should be, except for the unreasonable expectations from the "owners" who assume that everything they don't understand must be simple to do.
It is pretty hard to build an off-grid society that is capable of producing the high technology needed to sustain it. Raw materials for windmills and solar panels don't grow on trees unfortunately.

I think you've answered your own question here. This is exactly what the Housing Authority was doing, if the article is to be believed.
GP isn't saying that they are feeling guilty for not working hard enough. Is that they don't know how other people are perceiving their work. So in that case a "how do you think my work is going on?" doesn't hurt at all. If, like others said, you can't talk like this to your manager, there are other problems that need to be tackled.
I actually have a Varidesk so I can alternate periodically because I found that I was much more tired towards the end of the day if I sat all day. Also experienced a lot of back discomfort. A lot of my motivation for getting the standing desk was that it seemed like an easier option than one of the really expensive chairs that are out there.

I still use the standing desk every now and then, but after seeing some recommendations I ended up getting a Bungee chair from The Container Store and it's really solved all of the issues that drove me to a standing desk in the first place with a reasonable price point.
Get 3 engineers to do estimation on the same work. Not only helps to get better estimations, but also helps to understand people's strengths and weaknesses on tasks as well as inform more people of a project specifics. Also PERT: https://www.techrepublic.com/blog/it-consultant/use-pert-tec...
So does the New York Times owe an apology and a correction for this article? "Sitting, it would seem, is an independent pathology. Being sedentary for nine hours a day at the office is bad for your health whether you go home and watch television afterward or hit the gym. It is bad whether you are morbidly obese or marathon-runner thin. “Excessive sitting,” Dr. Levine says, “is a lethal activity.”" https://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/17/magazine/mag-17sitting-t.... And this one? "Too much time spent in a chair could shorten our lives, even if we exercise" https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/13/well/move/get-up-stand-up...

I just find it disconcerting that the New York Times publishes an article like this, without any acknowledgement that it has been pushing a different conclusion for the past eight years. I get that that this article is from a different author, but when people go to the New York Times, they are usually trusting the overall institution and editorial controls more than the byline. I also get that new studies comes in and the evidence changes -- but that still requires some sort of acknowledgement that they were wrong before.
I love `jq`: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/
1) Show me that study. Also, varicose veins suggest otherwise. Good muscle tone helps to prevent them. Apparently standing does not provide the right impulse.
Yes, you will burn slightly more calories but at what cost?

2) This is even more out there and suspicious claim. Varicose veins form out of impaired blood flow, not improved.

3) Do you mean situps? I heard they are an actual exercise.
Hah, yeah. The Wicker Man was also the first thing I thought of.
sample size of one, but I have suffered lower back pain for about 15 years. It is always there, but worse some times than others. When it is bad, I cannot sit in the chair for more than a couple of minutes. Standing at the desk (well a box on a desk that my laptop goes on) the pain is reduced so can at least get a days work done.
Many people, myself included, want sit-stand desks that don't wobble. That's where the cost comes in. https://jakeseliger.com/2015/01/24/geekdesk-max-sit-stand-de...
Oh man...these type of overreaching opinions is bound to be controversial.

I bought a standing desk because my ass hurts from sitting down too long and I don't have a lot of flesh down there. I have to use a cushion and eventually that also puts pressure on my back and my ass still hurts.

So I bought a manually operated standing desk on Amazon.ca in order to not hurt my ass from sitting down too long.

Also not good for your prostate health to be sitting down for hours at a time.

But please convince me why I shouldn't stop the pain in the ass.

The sign-up flow to become a seller has many hurdles. I'm trying to set up and it asked my name 3 times, and now I have to create a full Stripe account just to continue. I don't want to go through that trouble. Once I actually have earned any money, I'll set up Stripe. But until then why bother?

Thanks for offering an alternative to PayPal, by the way.

(The reason I don't want to go through it is that I'm exploring your platform. I don't know if I want to actually invest time in it before knowing what it looks like behind the scenes.)
Remote working might not be for everybody.. and that is okay. There are plenty of people who cannot make themselves go to the gym on their own, they won't travel alone, etc. And plenty of people who do.

> It's not just that I don't trust myself, I don't trust other people too.

This sentiment seems to say that you don't trust your colleagues in general, and that doesn't really make a difference remote or at the job. There are plenty of "chair warmers" at every office...
You should take a proper look once, you'll be amazed at all the different modules implementing the same functionality over and over again (e.g. globbing, promisifying, or the myriad of `is-*` single-function packages).

Why is that bad? It's a huge waste of effort, increases the burden on anyone who's maintaining a package using those micro-libraries, and will guarantee more unpatched security vulnerabilities and unmaintained packages in the long run.
Alphabetised by colour name, material, pattern, sock-type - sounds like quite the challenge? Sounds like you need some sort of 5D matrix do it properly.
It's not at all hard to believe some people are receiving CA salaries (and note, your 400k TC line only applies to a relatively small group of companies and senior positions).

On the other hand, I agree it is unlikely for the majority of remote workers. Depends a lot on your skill level and how rare/in-demand it is I suppose.
I find the "build your own framework" aspect of React to be as much a curse as it is a blessing. You can skip some of the bloat, but you also have to kludge together multiple libraries of varying quality to get the same things you'd get out of the box with a "batteries included" framework.
In addition to Italy, Europe as a whole is pretty picky when it comes to olive oil. As an anglo who was introduced to authentic olive oil imported from Greece.. there is a very serious distinct taste difference between cheap and legitimate olive oil.
That word does not mean what you think it does ;)

No, they're not. They can be grown in a monoculture (a large area occupied by the same plant), but they're not clones like bananas.

They are, however, slow. What you plant today doesn't give you olives any time soon.

No, estimating software work is impossible. I refuse to do it. If pressed insistently I will "estimate" four hours.

I've encountered situations where I was told, "That's unacceptable." My response was, "OK, two weeks." Need I say that that was also "unacceptable". My point is that any "estimate" is nothing more than a guess, and irrelevant in any case. A given feature/bugfix/whatever is gonna take as long as its gonna take.

Estimation is a shibboleth.
Considering the fact that the Times reports that the reason FB had been keeping this stuff secret is because worry of congressional oversight, I think your analysis about Clinton is overly reductionist and factually inaccurate.

If you are physically active with either intense cardio or weightlifting 3-5+ hours a week, you need to eat enough that 120 ounces is basically the starting point the proper hydration.

As with most things physiological, the system is a balancing act with a lot of independent variables that need to be taken into account. If you eat two meals of 800-1k calories each, and you don't work out, a gallon of water a day is probably way too much. You may be mildly dehydrated but you'll feel just as bad flushing out the electrolytes as you mentioned. But if you're working out consistently, building muscle, and eating 3k-4k calories a day to support that level of activity, 180-200 ounces of water a day is nothing.
Researcher Disclose Multiple Vulnerabilities on TP-Link Router Including RCE
There are very, very few places where a broad range of professional skills is considered an asset for a developer.

Most places want cogs. If you're too broad or have too many teeth, you're not going to fit in with the other cogs.

But you may be pitching at the wrong level. Developer jobs may not be the right niche for someone with a broad spectrum of skills. (By which I mean genuinely broad multidisciplinary professional skills and interests, not [three popular coding languages with some backend experience].)

Management and strategy may be a better fit.
Really well put. And I want to add another anecdote: when remote working, I used to do pair programming through Skype, with screen sharing. And I couldn't really feel any difference than doing this in person (it was a half remote/half office type of job), apart from the fact that we were not bothering anybody and there wasn't any other noise around our work. So it actually felt better than pair programming in presence.

If you do any bash/sh programming, I highly recommend shellcheck: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck
There are a few plugins you can use with oh-my-fish and similar tools, for example `fish-foreign-env`, which provide a command (`fenv`, in this case) which runs a given command in bash and then transfers environment variable changes to the fish environment from which it was called.

It's not bash compatibility, but it is good enough for one-offs and even for many scripts and tools that expect to be sourced in your dotfiles from bash.

Edit: Sure, having automatic HTML escape for values is good. I work with JSX every day, and I can't really imagine having it all in one huge chunk and no code reuse. Also, what about conditional hide/show and lists?
Angular reminds me of the Spring "framework". Once you peel back the GIGABYTES of framework redirection and figure out what it's actually doing, it's not a bad way to organize code - it's just that trying to wrap that up in a reusable library rather than just recommend it as a best practice is so braindead as to be incomprehensible.
On the plus side I have noticed an upward trend to not allowing checks at retail locations.
Leadership in the IT
There is a certain degree of hypocrisy lingering: "I want to know where everything comes from and be in control and yadda yadda", but then you're using yellow plastic gloves probably made in China by some pollution-heavy factory, dishwashers, plastic chairs and sheep-shavers made by people doing those jobs you so despise, and going back to Russia every day in something that is unlikely to be a wind-powered boat... And how is the wind-power guy "off-grid", when his website was an early internet hit and he (like the violin maker) probably derives an income from the "outer world" thanks to his activities?

Living in a society is always a compromise, these people have just struck a slightly different subset of trade-offs -- but to sustain their lifestyle, they are still largely dependent on the wider world being what it is.
The problem was not only related to the (ridicolous) attempt to indict, but rather with the fact that nowadays in my country (at least for the media), being prosecuted means you are guilty.

Another, equally embarassing story (a little off-topic in the context of olive oil ;) is the prosecution of Ilaria Capua (another scientist who had a bad encounter with the justice system).

I think that in the northern parts of Europe we still seem to be pretty oblivious, so I would limit that to the Mediterranean area. And having tasted proper local food during my trips there, I can't exactly blame the people from there for being picky. Like you said, the taste difference is huge, and there also is a large romantic component to it: most recipes are quite simple, but rely on using fresh ingredients. It's very anti-industrial by nature.
