> Don't expect it. IT jobs frequently work past the 40hr work week. People expect everything to be up 24/7, and that means you'll spend off-hours on support. If you aren't on support, you might find yourself spending your weekend coding that new feature that needs to be in by Monday morning.

I think this sets exactly the wrong expectation. I rarely work more than 40 hours. It's very possible to set boundaries and a good employer will let you do that. If you find yourself working through the weekend it might be time to change your planning or your employer.

Aside: Maybe I am in a bubble, but do developers still refer to their job as "IT" in some places?

Google is much more at the reigns of Chromium than your comment perhaps illustrates. The only way to really innovate would be to make a full-fledged fork which would soon diverge enough to require as much development resources as Chromium, thereby negating many advantages of a common codebase. Also, even Chromium has many Google-specific features and integrations which make it worrying from a privacy perspective.

The account on the right still had several "#GamerGate" tweets, including one from Milo Yiannopoulos who was involved enough to be covered in the Wikipedia article about it[1].

It seemed to me the main difference in the logged-in & logged-out account in that video is that the logged-out one is getting press release content, perhaps the logged-in account wasn't responsive to that according to Twitter's algorithms?

I thought brave was going to become the privacy/security browser but they seemed to push that to the side while Firefox rapidly filled that niche in the past year at least for privacy. I just don't get why I'd use brave over Chrome, they renamed a lot of options just for the sake of differentiating, which makes it unintuitive at times.
>I think most of the disdain for biometrics on phones is because Apple were the ones to popularise it, and tech people hate anything Apple does.

That wouldn't prevent them from using it to provide a service, it would merely require that they share any modifications they make to the code while doing so.
The default search engine plus partnership deals on bookmarks and speed dials or tiles on a new page can bring roughly 1USD/year/user for a browser.
As I mentioned elsewhere, we have no windows frontend maintainer so feature development specific to windows does not currently happen.

The win port uses windows 2000 compatible GDI calls and I imagine this is the cause for GIF flickering, SVG not rendering and truetype fonts not being used.

The core browser functionality does support javascript, however there are thousands of DOM bindings and our progress in implementing them all is slow.
You're mistaken. Prohibition has always failed. 18th/21st amendments and Portugal decriminalization. It's not to say hard drugs are great, but criminalizing them creates more violence and crime in order to access them.

Legalization solves several bigger problems:

- MIC/PIC over-criminalization for profit

- barriers to treatment

- higher prices plus criminal enterprises lead to violent crime, i.e., Mexico right now, and greater property crime of users to support habits

Solving economic, social issues is beyond the scope of drug policy but giving people hope, purpose, mission and security reduces usage. Having a functional community, society are preconditions to deterring substance abuse... whereas failed states and under/unemployment promote it.

No amount of self-righteous crusaders will change human behavior, but they can certainly make it worse with naïve policies.

Its weird to me that this article only discusses the social aspects of programming in a job environment, while completely ignoring the contrast between university studies and real world technicalities of programming. I feel like the latter is a much bigger issue.
I believe there’s a lot of confusion around the term “ownership”. There just might not be an answer because nobody ever “owns the copy”. As HN is quick to point out when discussing ad blockers or scihub, data isn’t a thing that you can own. You may own the physical medium, and sometimes said ownership is linked to a license (first sale doctrine, as one example), but it isn’t necessarily so.
Cousins King George V and Tsar Nicholas II actually made a concerted effort to mediate with another cousin, Kaiser Wilhelm II. However he seemed to be more influenced by his war-mongering generals, especially Von Moltke. If the blame for starting the war can be laid at any door, it is his.

It's interesting since I read a lot that food consumption doesn't affect acne. I used to have relatively bad acne as a teenager as well, but I don't think I consumed a lot of sugars.

As a grown up I grew out of it, but for some strange reason it came back (age 26-27) and I couldn't get rid of it for a year. I ate healthy foods, used face scrub every day, also did weight lifting exercises, but none of those things seemed to help. However at one point I picked up jumping rope, which I did almost daily for 20-30 minutes. After that I stopped having acne. I assume sweating is the core reason that cured (or I should say, prevent) my acne as an adult. Funnily enough I stopped jumping rope for a week or two and I already see some pimples coming back, guess I'm not allowed to stop anymore!
If you would like to learn why this common myth is false, I would recommend the book "The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World", which in one of its chapters explains that this result actually made the Rotschilds go almost bankrupt because they were betting on a prolonged war, and they were just barely able to maintain their wealth despite the defeat of napoleon, not because of it.

Sugar and dairy products may be one of the problems. Lack of exercise could be one as well. There's some research on this, although some reviews seems to indicate that the evidence isn't 100% clear.

I think the other piece of puzzle, where there's a dire need of research, is on the microbiome of the skin. Having a healthy culture of good bacteria on your skin may be important. That's why washing with soap can cause as much damage as it helps -- if you overdo it, you don't just kill the bad bacterias, you kill the good ones too.

I've experimented a bit with Mother Dirt.. I can't say it's a cure for anything, but it does seem to help.

What does “afford the rights as the copyright owner” mean? It cannot mean “have the same rights”, because I believe we’d all agree that forking on github does not, as but one example, confer the right to re-license the code.
Also if alternate browsers mindshare dips too far they could argue it was too much effort to support such a small part of the market.
Yes, the name is listed in the SAN on that cert. That said, that's one of the fields that's parsed, and potentially a source of issues in this paper.

I'm not sure that has any bearing on whether they are "trapped in a filter bubble". It is quite possible to very deeply understand the motivations and thoughts of a group and still be blatantly disparaging - ask a historian, for instance.
I am a designer (and a programmer), and yes: a lot of what (good) designers do is plain old thinking, but it is a certain kind of thinking.

It is a question of focus. A designer will be all about the users, their experience etc. If they manage to make manufacturing/servicing/etc better at the same time – great! But in doubt they will go with the user.

A sysadmin would be focused on what is easy to maintain and won't create more work down the road.

A lazy person would try to find a solution, that movers the workload to a different entity altogether.

A engineer would mostly be concerned about reusing things that already exist in a clever way, with a aesthetically low standard: "Why are you complaining? It looks just like the thing company X made". It might be more durable, cheaper and a tiny bit more inconvinient to use.

A business person is mostely focused on how much it costs and how much potential sales there are.

A marketing person is mostly focused on the emotional visual part (see bad designer) and if they are good they will figure out what it is the customers like about the product (and if they are bad they make it pink for ladies and metallic with racing stripes for blokes).

All of these "thinking hats" have a reason to exist, but only one is really focused on the details of how the customer will interact with the thing you sell them in a day to day basis. Good designers on top of that will try to take the thing in a historical context: just because it is the way it is right now, doesn't mean it is the way it should (or could) be. The iPhone is a good example.
Every time your parents or grandparents say something insensitive about a group of people, I always think about how it is currently socially acceptable to think of the other party as irreconcilable dangerous mentally unstable people

This kind of thought was acceptable and comforting to your parents about people that now contribute greatly to society

Everyone is doing it across the party line right now and it is ridiculous and they dont know that people in the other party are taking the exact same approach

Almost no party and no issue is based on the exact opposite reasoning for not agreeing

So that means people are a lot more reconcilable than some party line quip would suggest
What I would like to see is some kind of "white-list" browser - I think it's our best chance to keep an ad-free environment. Maybe it is a bad idea in general to allow a remote page write pixels to your screen: images, videos, text and now applications

It is nice that the web is open (at least reasonably), but maybe raw JS, HTML and CSS is too general? The most valuable webpages have simple designs and are liked because of their content, like

- wikipedia.org
- HN
- stackoverflow.com
- maps.google.com
- ...

These pages could implement

- Knowledge-Base
- Topic-Comment-Community
- Answer-Response-Community
- Interactive-GIS

specifications, that obviously do not exist. E.g. if a newspaper implements a hypothetical "Newspaper-Specification" it would have to provide original, sourced content containing text, images, audio and video via some API (which is often already the case when single page apps fetch content client-side via e.g. JSON). There would be no visual difference between reading "The Guardian" vs. "USA Today" or browsing "OpenStreetMap" vs "Google Maps" as content would be rendered on the client.

The article only considers new investment. Jeff Bezos may be worth $150bn, but approximately $125bn of that is in Amazon stock. He's 80% invested in Amazon.

Does it really matter where the worlds richest man puts the other 20% when he could afford to lose it all on moonshots and not give a damn? The risk-reward trade-offs you and me make while investing just don't apply to Jeffs personal investment decisions, and therefore aren't all that interesting.
Venezuela Forcibly Converts Pensions into Petro
"For example, they may start integrating technologies for which they have exclusive, or at least 'special' access. Can you imagine if all of a sudden Google apps start performing better than anyone else's?"

This is already happening. I very recently worked on the Edge team, and one of the reasons we decided to end EdgeHTML was because Google kept making changes to its sites that broke other browsers, and we couldn't keep up. For example, they recently added a hidden empty div over YouTube videos that causes our hardware acceleration fast-path to bail (should now be fixed in Win10 Oct update). Prior to that, our fairly state-of-the-art video acceleration put us well ahead of Chrome on video playback time on battery, but almost the instant they broke things on YouTube, they started advertising Chrome's dominance over Edge on video-watching battery life. What makes it so sad, is that their claimed dominance was not due to ingenious optimization work by Chrome, but due to a failure of YouTube. On the whole, they only made the web slower.

Now while I'm not sure I'm convinced that YouTube was changed intentionally to slow Edge, many of my co-workers are quite convinced - and they're the ones who looked into it personally. To add to this all, when we asked, YouTube turned down our request to remove the hidden empty div and did not elaborate further.

And this is only one case.

I'm not sure that it prevents anyone from offering a SaaS version of your product - just that they have to make the code available if they modify it.

correction: I've never heard of the Metropolitan Sepulchre
I read lots of research papers about acne and I tried many things including diets, removing dairy, removing sweets, changing pillow sheet daily, many kinds of anti acne treatments.

The only thing that worked was roaccutane. After the treatment it slowly comes back so I beat it permanently with low-dosing (a 10 or 20mg pill every now and then)

I realize there must be a reason deep down that caused it. Typically dermatologists first try to give a cleansing treatment with some kind of scrub cream (will solve it if hygiene was the issue). Then they try anti biotics (if bacteria is the issue) then finally use the nuclear option with roaccutane which works with practically every one (but relapse can happen)

Heather Havrilesky: There Are Too Many Gurus in America – Literary Hub
There's not much to compete on. I don't see a difference between Netflix and HBO GO in terms of the actual distribution ... HBO GO's app and website are shittier, but that's irrelevant as long as it lets me watch their shows in HD.

And I disagree that exclusives are anti-competitive.

If Netflix can create value using its own money, they should be allowed to establish whatever licensing terms they want, including none other than streaming to its own subscribers.
If that's anti-competitive, then the definition is broken.
Because stats show otherwise

It's not just an opinion that Firefox regularly phones home. It also uses privacy-hostile services such as Google Search by default. It has an economic incentive to do that since Google, etc. are the ones who fund them.

That's absolutely silly and gullible because of the following reasons:

1.) No, cryptography does not replace the trust in people. Your dead wrong if you think so. You need to trust the maker of the cryptographic software, whether it's open source or not, and even if the software has been audited. The only exception would be that you have team of experts who continuously audit the source code and compile every executable themselves. Then, of course, you can also just fork it and develop it yourself. Other than that, you better trust the source.

2.) I was explicitly talking about the binaries. The vast majority of all users will download the binaries and never check the source code. Moreover, if you check the source code, then this gives you no reason to trust the binaries.

Here's how I would do it, if I was working for an intelligence agency supplying bogus open source software: I'd put audited and correct sources on the web, but would make them hard to compile (e.g. complicated dependencies, tool chain setup). Then I would put binaries on the web page, too. And then I would check who downloads the software and based on some heuristics either deliver a perfectly fine web page+binary or a compromised web page+binary to the recipient, depending on whether I want to collect intelligence from that person or not.

Another, simpler method is to ensure that there is always some exploitable bug in the software. If that is found by external auditors, just introduce a new bug. The underhanded C contest shows you how it's done.

In any case, before you start talking about encryption again, we're talking about side channel attacks, of course.

The Vue docs have a comparison page: https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/comparison.html#React

Personally I find Vue simpler. The conceptual model is simple, and the "syntax" is intuitive and easy to remember. Vue Router and the Vuex state management library are developed together the main Vue library, and as a consequence they feel part of a cohesive whole.
In the end for me using Vue is a more pleasant experience (but I'm not a frontend developer, and obviously YMMV).
