Ideal, though unrealistic, would look like this.

Phone call from interested employer to ask a few questions back and forth. If things seem good set up an interview.

At interview, show potential employee where they will be working, what they would work on, then sit at a table for the interview. Potential hire knows their ability level and is honest with the employer about it. Employer knows exactly what they need in the hire and is honest with them about it. They come to a mutual decision about whether they are a good fit for employment there.

Interview done, and both parties know what to expect from each other afterwards.

Those are still the not fun parts to work with in Android, although its better now kotlin extensions so you no longer have to refer to the XML directly to manipulate views.

Flutter doesn't use any of that, you just code and thats pretty much it. No XML or anything, and you can use VSCode which is a lot lighter than android studio.
I've been looking into Blackberry (Key2 specifically) because they seem to be putting security first and I don't mind if my platform is a tiny bit behind on the raw system specs. If anyone has experiences to share I am ALL ears!
Which is irrelevant to my point, which is that it's also used where it's not native.
This. Why send your device out with a photographer and hope they can get a compelling image when they can browse thousands from a stock photo outlet and get something perfect in an afternoon? The stock photo will be much cheaper as well.
Yea absolutely. Check out the hellohelm bundle for a simple example: https://github.com/deislabs/bundles/tree/master/hellohelm and the Bitnami Wordpress + Amazon RDS bundle for one with multiple components: https://github.com/bitnami/cnab-bundles/tree/master/wordpres...
I believe there's a decent amount of prior art for games supporting cross-platform play across Steam and traditional consoles (PS4 / Xbone / Switch). Presumably you'd need to re-buy a game like Rocket League to get it to show up in your Epic library, but the Steam version could likely be patched to allow Epic players to play alongside Steam players?
We don't owe companies anything. I'm a big proponent of not putting up with shitty design, and after a lot of bad experiences with Microsoft they're dead to me. I don't mind missing out on a good version of Windows sometime in the future, it's not worth dealing with their current awful software. Same goes for Samsung with the permanent Bixby button and Touchwiz UI. I'd rather reward good design like we have on the Google Pixel and iPhone X{'','R','S'} lines.
Once upon a time, valve used to develop games.
Then it became big and realised where the money is, and stopped developing games.
Epic is currently developing games. Will they get big and stop? If they did, they still have Unreal. Steam has nothing other than the store.
People keep acting like telemetry is my problem as the end-user. I don't care about your development practices. I don't care about your telemetry. All I care about is if the software works, and my privacy is protected. The problems with getting telemetry data are your problem. The burden should not be on us to have to turn off all this data-gathering to protect my data.

Because Flutter would be a nice framework to use if they hadn't decide to bet on a language struggling for survival outside Googleplex.

React Native uses a programming language widely accepted, no need for complains.
Yep! You can create "burner" cards that become invalid after one use. I actually never use that feature, because sometimes vendors screw up and have to put the charge through a second time or whatever. Instead I set a lifetime spending limit $1 higher than the purchase I'm making.
I'm just going to take a hammer to it. I know it's unreasonable but I'm that p'd off.
This does not make sense. Null is not the same as zero and neither is the same as an all-zeros bit pattern. A memory word interpreted as an integer has no meaningful null value. A memory word interpreted as a pointer may or may not have a special bit pattern (which may or may not be the same as integer zero) that represents a pointer to nowhere; it all depends on language semantics. The address 0x0 can be perfectly valid on some architectures. Even though in C the literal 0 denotes a null pointer constant, it does not mean that the value of a null pointer is literally zero.
I always wanted to be the 1%. Looks like I made it to 9%.
The parent comment says “tests”, not “unit tests”. I would expect a set of unit tests where appropriate, integration tests, system tests, regression tests, fuzzing, etc.

“Powerful” might be a bit subjective here, but in order to write tests, it helps to have a set of theories about what kinds of bugs might be in your program. You can then write tests that identify with high probability the presence of those specific bugs or categories of bugs. In that narrow sense, tests are statistically powerful. They reject the null hypothesis (this type of bug does not exist) with high probability when it is false. I don’t want to conflate this definition of statistical power with the colloquial use of “power”, though.
google have, from a game theory perspective, made it harder and harder for me to support their products until they become established.

Ironically, you got lost in the analogy. I'm not talking about interface complexity, but any intentional deviation from maximal accessibility (at least when it serves an aesthetic purpose).
I've been researching this topic for some time now, alternative data, and not surprised since Nasdaq is a large provider of software (e.g. market-making sw amongst dozens of other sw):

QUANDL SPECIFIC:
-Quandl has a pretty decent blog that I would check out, you never know what new large corporate policy enacted might get rid of it:
https://blog.quandl.com/

GENERAL NOTES:

-More and more asset managers are using it and there is some worry that everyone is making the same conclusions off the same data set, and thus no money to be made. Though most practitioners say this is a none-issue, there is more and more alt. data sets out there to chose from, cleaning the data is tricky and testing the veracity of the data provided and knowing how to combine it with others sets is a key competitive advantage that not every asset manager is good at.

-The ROI is something that is top of mind but not always easily attributable throughout the year, e.g. one large insight very late in the financial year can bring +100x returns on what was paid for a data provider's software.

-Hugely successful funds like Renaissance's Medallion has likely been doing this for a long long time, coupled with top PhDs looking for a lot of statistical correlation with traditional data as well.

-More and more data sets that are being created and thrown into a self-learning financial model (aka AI) have a lot of people excited, and certainly there are a lot of small funds being created, though seems to be mostly by young people or not-so-great hedge fund managers. Getting large investors to lay down significant capital has a huge trust component to it, aka want to bet only on succesful grey-haired largely-male dominated folks
-A lot of alternative data can be found directly from the Bloomberg terminal e.g. MAPS <Go> function. However my understanding is that it's not that deep, quality is an issue, and everyone has access to it (no real competitive advantage).
Uh, no. Happens all the time on wall st. Have you been living under a rock?
You have N number of encryption keys for different parts of your data, then a single client server can only decrypt a small part of the data.

Since you need to request the key each time to decrypt things like key rotation become easier since you can do them centrally. Even if you can decrypt data X on a client node the key you got an hour ago for X doesn't work anymore, you must request a new one.

Then the server can do things like impose rate-limits. Maybe you can decrypt A-F, but only at a certain imposed rate, and alarms will be raised if the rate is exceeded.
You can use Consul-Template (https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-template) -- yes, it really needs a rename -- to do this with Vault (or Consul).
“The world is already toxic, there’s nothing wrong with me manufacturing poison!”

I get the logic, I just don’t agree — and I think it’s the kind of thinking that underlies “penny wise, pound foolish” or similar sayings. It’s also just outright untrue that anything like Facebook existed over 20 years ago — you’re contributing to something new, or at least a massive escalation in kind likely to bring about qualitative differences, not merely producing “more of the same”.

Also, I think it’s naive to say kids with critical thinking skills are equipped to fend off hundreds of PhDs backed by thousands of programmers implementing their tools, coupled to all of their friends peer pressuring them.

Or adults, or institutions, or....

I don’t want you to think I don’t respect your motivations or view, though — I just think you made some errors in assessing trade offs, in a way that hurts not only you, but everyone else.

I think that’s worth pointing out.

Have a good one, and sincerely, best luck starting a family!
Features-wise, it seems pretty polished; price-wise, it seems steep for a small ARM Linux box with interesting industrial design. The $99/yr subscription also seems a little steep, presumably they're trying to woo potential Fastmail or Protonmail customers, but at twice the price (not even counting the $499 for the hardware).

This is only true insofar as the company remains small. As soon as it grows, the cultural standards you describe diverge.

Google is the perfect example of this, where while they remained at a reasonable size adhered to their cultural standards staunchly.

They've grown way past the point where that's sustainable and are now exhibiting the exact same predatory business attitude they swore they wouldn't ever (dragonfly, contracts for the military, systematic and all-encompassing spying on their customers, obvious anti-competitive practice in the android space, shameless support for a specific political party, etc...)

That doesn't mean there isn't still some pockets of folks somewhere in there that play by the old rules. It just these business practices can't be wrapped under the "Google culture" umbrella anymore.
FWIW, I used to work for a company that paid cash per-diems on top of accommodation.

So Cocoa is missing from your list given iTunes on PC.
I've had the opposite experience about a year ago with their Node.js PowerBI repo. Although, they deprecated that SDK within a few months after, so it's possible it was more of a resource issue.
Absolutely. They need outsiders to tell them how to live, they can't figure it out.They have had centuries and they need help. We have (small)children who could fix all their problems in a few minutes.
It's kinda sad that Tandem and similar work has been forgotten. I've wondered what we could learn from such history and never gotten a clear answer.
> If you there is a community of nonbinary/gender nonconforming/genderqueer organizers near you, that can be a good place to start looking.

I think this is completely the wrong advice for who you're talking to. From the sounds of it he's complely, unquestionably a man who wants to present as completely, unquestionably a man too, but doesn't for whatever reasons.

It seems like you're saying "yeah you're a girly man, that's what you are now, better learn to embrace it" rather than "learn to express yourself how you want".
Or a commercial for McDonald’s, except instead of using real food, they use fake stuff that looks better.
> Expect potholes and unmarked speed breakers almost everywhere! A nice flawless looking asphalt road can suddenly surprise you with deep potholes , just like someone has thrown a hand grenades on a road. The more rural you go the more extreme it can get. You can even find yourself driving inside a pothole which has it’s own potholes in it.

Haha, so true. I remember coming to skidding halt in taxi, in a rural area, at 2am. And directly out of the passenger door, was a pot hole. When I say pot hole, the entire middle of intersection had been torn up. And at the bottom of the pot hole were three men fixing a pipe, by the light of a fire.

Of course there were no barriers, signs, tape, nothing to show work was going on.
> ...because it indicates the absence of a value, which is a special case.

But that's exactly the problem -- it's special, meaning it's only useful for certain situations. An ideal type system would provide compile-time guarantees, rather than having to wait for users to report issues. A type system which A) allows you to define variables as non-nullable and B) requires a null guard before every dereference of nullable variables eliminates this entire class of bug. What on earth is wrong with that?

EDIT:

> Seriously? A "nullpo crash" is one of the more trivial things to debug

Even if this were true [0], wouldn't it be easier if such a crash was just never even possible?

[0] which it's not - all a nullpo stack trace tells you is that something important didn't happen, at some point before this

I think the unique value of Vault is not that it can change the locks so that old keys no longer work. For this it needs to understand how to reset keys on for example every database [0]. I don't think Sops does that.

I think there is a network effect to Vault that the more locks it can change the more people will use it and the more plugins will be added to it.

I think Vault is hard to use and we're thinking of integrating it in GitLab to give it a friendly UI [1].

Is there something beyond that I should be doing? Does tramp need to be configured in some special way to take advantage of the persistent connection?

You mean... if we paid employees properly, it might prevent fuck ups like this?!?!
This may not be a bad thing, though. (As long as they're doing it with discretion.)

A comment by 'vatueil' in this thread hinted at an important point: Steam is currently battling the massive library of half-baked 'crapware' that snuck onto the platform for the _sole purpose_ of being sold off as cheap keys in bulk. It's really more of a scam than anything.

Valve has a reputation to uphold, and it's no wonder they want to put this practice to and end.
React doesn't care whether something is a class or function until Congress notices.

Frauchiger-Renner Paradox Clarifies Where Our Views of Reality Go Wrong
Unfortunately, this is conflating static linking with bad dependency management. ("Just copy it into your own repo", is a different step, that is unnecessary to do the second step, "and link it statically")

There is no reason I see why you couldn't just have a build that produces the library .a file for zlib, which can then be pulled in as a dependency of your build / linked in statically.

I totally agree, they had a nightmare situation on their hands, but I don't think static linking was solely to blame :-)

If you put the word "margins" in quotes in your query, all of your results will contain that word.

This seemed to be true at one time, but I noticed last night that it doesn't always work.

These days it seems to put include results without the word, then provide a tiny link below each deficient result with a link to "must include" the missing word in a new search.

That used to be the previous behavior, but now it's inconsistent.
If you want to do that, then fork it. Microsoft isn't stopping you from doing that.

There are quite a few, and I can think of these off the top of my head:

- Real-time weather data from major ports and across the main shipping lines

- Telemetry from crop and soil report systems

- Up-to-date satellite imagery of basically anything large under construction (solar farms, factories, ...)

Provide information like that in a machine-readable, consistent format and you have a business.

Btw... Using satellite images to track car manufacturers' inventory levels is an old idea, used for more than a decade.
