This is specifically about telemetry in an open source code. If you want to know what data it sends, you can look for yourself.

I have a Samsung "smart TV" and have no intention of ever letting it on my LAN. It does not get the wifi password and has no Ethernet cable. It's used as a dumb display hooked up to a home theatre receiver and Xbox one x, home theatre pc, etc.

Do not trust the software on these things.
Many would suggest it's because multi-billion dollar industries (insurance, medical administration, tax, accounting) are partially dependent upon its enormous complexity for their existence. Or, perhaps because the lobbying of a few said billion dollar industries is more persuasive ($$$) to our legislators than the occasional rant from a common citizen.

Or maybe... it's because playing the game is advantageous to those who know how to play. "To the victor belong the spoils."
That's a hell of a leap. One day you're contributing to open source and the next day you're dead because of telemetry? Give me a fucking break.

Oh, I forgot, OSS contributors are vital state resources targeted by foreign governments and drug gangs alike, and both of them have access to how you use open source Winforms. I get it, now.

(Sarcasm complete. My points here are that you aren't a target of any totalitarian regime, and that totalitarian regimes don't need telemetry to make you disappear.)

Thank you. This is superbly well-written and incisive. Accurate too.

As someone with a decade plus of continuous self-employment, one other challenging (demoralizing? LOL) aspect is never being able to really, completely, and truly take time off.

When you get sick, your money comes to a grinding halt, but your bills and client support tickets keep piling up.

When you're on "vacation" you keep your laptop charged and ready to go in case your phone lights up with notifications that a server is down.

Your brain is constantly adding up the next invoice, making the next sale, coding the next method, etc, etc. It can be unrelenting.

You can make excellent money consulting, but to make a ton you either need to scale a team, be absolutely world-class at a specific technology, or go the cult of personality write-a-book/hit-the-speaking-circuit route. Otherwise you're going to max out in the same range you could fairly easily get working a 9-5, but with way more volatility, risk, and stress.

If anybody considering consulting happens to read this, specialize as soon as possible, charge way more than you're comfortable asking, live below your means, and build some sort of redundancy by way of an employee or 1099 partner.

We're missing a lot of key information here. Which tokens? What kind of tokens? Are they even designed to be trading (vs a utility token for a product/protocol that hasn't launched yet).
Not saying all crypto is legit but we can't let journalists be naive enough to pretend like all tokens have the same economic design, purpose, and timeline.
HP still manufactures and maintains Tandem systems, under the HPE Integrity Nonstop brand [1]. Just like IBM Systems Magazine [2], there is a lot of proprietary tech described that takes awhile to seep into Linux and the open source world. You can still read the Tandem documentation, so the ideas are still there to be picked up by anyone interested in re-implementing them on Linux.

Yes I like WPF's model, but it's not worth investing my mental energy into something that is self-obsoleting. Although you can make a career out of WPF, there is a lot of stuff that needs to be maintained, and trading companies around where I live seem to favour it. Probably because they use it to make internal software, they can dictate everyone uses Windows, and they need to build stuff fast but it also needs that native performance, flexibility and power you don't get with HTML.
Ask HN: What is your profitable side project for 2018?
Because there are a ton of 'good' programing languages and it's tiring to switch around for barley any practical benefits?

I already jump between a few languages on a daily basis but it's getting ridiculous especially when it's related to fairly mundane UI work

in reality it's yet another x-platform 2d ui framework, who cares.
This article on China's recent crazyiness doesn't mention its long-standing oppression of minorities. It looks as though getting at the obvious root of the obvious problem is not on the table.

That said, there's plenty of madness at loose in the world. When we in the US get our own house cleaned up, finger-pointing will see less absurd.
I think even a minimum level of honesty in an ad requires that pictures that illustrate what the camera can are taken with this camera. I know lying is common in advertising but we shouldn't accept it and point that out.

5 Things No One Told Me Before I Became a Tech Lead
> Dart is strongly typed and pre-compiled, at least when packaged. It can run in interpreted mode in development for live/hot reload: a major advantage over Swift.

Ah, that's how they do it. That's neat! But the language still has to deal with JavaScript compatibility.

> PS Java (or Kotlin) are AOT compiled in all recent versions of Android.

But it's still a mess to call native code. And still has Java garbage collection.
the radical, out-of-balance and ill-considered message was mainstream not that long ago. it's only seen as "extreme" by some because the Overton window has moved considerably. case in point: US politics.
To be fair, just because bigs use their own frameworks doesn't mean they produce great UX. There's an added learning curve to any non-native app that users incur when this happens - things are out of place, don't work as expected, features don't exist, etc. For example:

- Facebook doesn't use standard share sheets or web views. So if you're viewing an article, you can't use reader mode and you lose the (considerable) power of share sheets to do things like sending an article to another app or take an action on it.

- Gsuite doesn't register left swipe as back even though 99% of apps on iOS do. Icons for common actions are subtly different and make you double-take while you understand what they do. Accessibility options like larger text do not work, so if you're vision impaired good luck trying to figure out what you're looking at. And there's a ton of other quirks that have existed over the years including scaling to new resolutions/ipads, problematic text selection, performance, etc. It's not as bad as it used to be, but it's still not a pleasure to use Gsuite or any material design on iOS.

While many apps may use cross-platform frameworks solely for saving developer/designer time, the bigs use them for an additional strategic purpose that is detrimental to users.

- Google wants you to be familiar with their apps regardless of platform, so that its easier to get you to switch to Android or Chromebooks.

- Facebook wants to keep you in the app as long as possible, limit social sharing outside of their app, and spy on your browsing activity, so they add friction and don't use modern iOS web views that prevent that.

I wouldn't take cues from the bigs and just assume because they do it, it's the best course of action.
I use head and shoulders, and was 100% certain they were on the list. Relieved yet disappointed.

As an insight into how well thought out these laws are, then-PM Malcolm Turnbull said the following when announcing these laws in 2017:

Ask HN: When senior developer joins new team, what are mistakes to avoid
I am in need of help to find list of mistakes to avoid and if possible few guidelines to follow while joining a new team as a senior developer.

Below is my draft list

* Be patient and listen, listen and listen without any judgment. There is no better friend than active listening.
* No one likes a know-it-all - Be honest, confident and humble
* You will still do something embarrassing. And you will survive. You can't improve if you are worried about your mistakes. Don't worry about it!
* Observe what everyone is doing. Ask questions.
* Be comfortable asking others for help or referencing documentation, Try not-to-figure-out-yourself unless that is expected
* Follow Before You Lead,
* Be tolerant of practices that are foreign to your established approach.
* Mastering established team practices and rituals builds trust.
* Automating an existing process is likely to be better received than making an independent decision to replace an existing tool.
* Spend some of your personal time masterings and enhancing tools the team uses.
* Ensure your output is reviewed by an existing employee before it is rolled out.
I understand that the disclaimer would be missed be most people but I don't see the background blur photo as communicating "this is what our camera can do". To me it says "Our camera can do background blur and this is an example of a photo with and without background blur". Maybe it's too subtle a difference and in that case, it's fair enough that Samsung would get flack for poor communication.
Hey, good for you, thank you for your work : ). Agreed on that point. And it's happening! I remember WordPress in the early days (yikes) and now my senior-citizen father is running his own blog without a hitch.

Someone else replied to another comment here the most plausible explanation which is that it's much cheaper and quicker to simply photoshop a couple of different stock photos. To go out in the field even with a phone camera requires finding a model, a setting, a photographer and paying them for a day's wages. It's a lot easier to believe this is an instance of cost saving rather than savvy marketing.

I think if I were to buy a stock photo then find out the original photographer publicly complaining / shaming my work, I would be so pissed. I might just complain to Getty to have her removed / banned.
Ah - interesting. I'm curious to know how well the core apps stack up from the kids' perspectives. I watch my kids collaborating on slide decks with other kids and am amazed at what they come up with. My understanding is that the Office apps aren't as good for online collaboration, but perhaps the Education ones are more optimised for that?

It could have been much more productive. Instead of downvoting, the response could have been a polite note. Downvoting without comment is a disease I'll have no part of. There's already enough rancour aboard this fractious and constantly-derailing ship.
I thought Samsung phones were highly regarded by consumers?
Fantastic news, long hoped for.

I think the following features are key:

- Unobtrusive DRM

- Anticheat

- Player profile

- Item store/marketplace

- Cloud save

- Basic matchmaking for multiplayer (linked to profile)

- Mod workshop

- Asset bundle support for patching

- DLC support

- Works in China

- Complete UI support include Title name support for multiple languages

- Limiting the number of games being launched to about 1-5 per day, and showing all of them somewhere

The last point is particularly critical. We want to absolutely avoid the situation that Steam is in: flooded by low-quality launches that undermine the basis of the store. If there is an upfront listing fee to get into the curation queue, it should be $2000+, partially recouped (eg. $1000 recouped) if the curation attempt fails, or the game sells beyond a certain threshold.

"It is unclear which of the generals passed intelligence to the enemy, but their action had grave consequences for the war effort." How would you rewrite this sentence to be grammatically correct?
Again, we are talking about the TAX SYSTEMS, not the overall business environments. Yes, I can have an entire floor full of C# programmers in Ningbo for a fraction of the cost of a floor full of C# programmers in Lincoln, NE, or Springfield, IL, or Nashville, TN. (And I won't even mention how much a floor full of programmers would cost in Austin, or SF, or Boston.) But my effective tax rate will be higher. Especially if you count "fees" as taxes.

What your friend is likely taking advantage of is the fact that tax rates are only one of the costs of doing business. So s/he probably takes clients in the US, and collects money in the US, but has the work done in China. Why? Because that way s/he can potentially enjoy a host of US tax breaks made possible by the convoluted nature of the tax system here.

The only money that needs to go to China is money to fund operations there. So your friend's profit margin will likely be orders of magnitude larger than if s/he tried to pull off a consultancy with all the programmers in the US.

Again though, the thing is, we were only talking about the tax systems, which are no better in China than they are in the US. That was my point. (On top of straight taxes, your friend might have some issues getting his/her money out of China as well come to think of it.)
> America's first copyright law [...] was adopted because people saw benefit in rewarding the people who created books and maps.

that seems contrary to wikipedia:

it seems obvious the act was meant to reward some people. please drop the humanistic angle, it's simply not there.
There are good people outside programming, lol. For example: me. I couldn't code if my life depended on it but I sure as heck contribute in other ways.[0] I get the gripe with unpolished projects though. Still, this comment continues the "they build it for us" trend that is quickly disappearing in the decentralized space (in my circles at least).

>...you can't get from pure physics...

You could use natural laws, if you want to propagate a mess of uncertain parameters through a complicated forward problem. Interpolation within empirical data is wildly easier, but a masochist could do gear fatigue ab initio in silico.
"back test data to outcomes" sounds scarily like p-hacking. That is, it seems highly likely you will still not find anything actually meaningful. You are just guaranteeing that you will be able to find something.

This is especially true if you have retention numbers, already. Why bother asking if I was happy with a purchase, if I never buy again anyway.

Note that I am sympathetic. There is every chance that I will buy something again simply because the exit survey reminded me of your existence. There is also the chance having an exit survey will make me not want to come back. :)
>So only programmers can be "intelligent, polite" users, in your view?

You are making an incorrect leap in logic. The commenter certainly didn't say that. Their statement is that ONLY patient people will get through a more technically challenging process. That is not the same as saying ALL patient people will get through the process which would be necessary for your conclusion.
