I read the article in full but still have no idea what he is trying to say. Perhaps someone can explain what he is talking about? Because as far as I'm concerned its postmodernism meets statistics.

Most governments will naturally rise taxes until a revolution happens. The threshold is around 45% if we look at the recent Paris yellow vest protests. Some governments (republicans?) are smart enough to cut taxes before that happens. I agree 20% sales tax is outright theft. Switzerland has low sales and corporate taxes but high income and property tax. They're doing fairly well for a small country.

Off topic, but on one hand you all want quality, independent news sources. On the other, you don’t want to pay the 5 dollars or so per week for one, and go above and beyond to practically pirate them...

So, I agree you want to see evidence of what's on the resume. But why isn't an actual work project of some sort better than whiteboard coding exercises?

I pay for news, but not all news. It's hard to discuss an article that isn't available to a reasonable number of people.
Neither Romans or Vikings disappeared. Their societies were just called something else a few centuries later.

Kings die every decade or two. States expand and shrink and occasionally disappear. But civilizations and societies mostly stay and develop.
>> According to Mr. Stengel, who was in the conversation, Mr. Kerry turned to Mr. Cui and asked: “Have we ever limited where you can go?”

> Mr. Cui replied: “Not yet.”

That's an interesting reply. It seems the Chinese govt. doesn't shy from and would even benefit from a higher intensity conflict with the West especially US. So they are trying to ratchet it up a bit. They didn't give any official reason for closures, but it seems one of the reasons is to have US respond and close Confucius Institutes. Which in turn would elicit another response from the Chinese and so on, up until it gets to a level they are comfortable with.
Long time vair enthusiast (4wheel), I’ve known about the use of these motors in aircraft for a long time. Crazy to think anyone would want to put a chinese crank in one till you realize that they go for 3-4K? No wonder someone was trying to drive costs down. Wonder where Clark’s get their cranks.
Honestly we told them our requirements well over a year ago. Which wasn't an issue apparently, even when we did a pilot in their internal labs which they were running Ubuntu.

It only came up after we started the rollout, when someone from their side who was asked to write documentation about how our app would work into their workflow, realized our app didn't work at all on his station. Which lead to oh no their requirements are horribly wrong.

To me it was a communication breakdown on both sides, but i doubt i can get them to change.

I am going to give getting electron built in Virtual Box and see if i have any luck with it.
"Outraged" is overstating it, but yes, I was pretty annoyed, but not because they asked me to debug Ruby code. I was annoyed because they lied to me. If they'd just been up front and told me they really were just looking for Ruby programmers I could have told them sorry, I am not your man, and saved everyone a lot of time.
Visual effects lives breathes and eats visual languages. It's not necessarily a good thing - people get (very) competent with them then start writing C++ using the same style namely, copy-n-paste a go go.

This is fine in most situations, but sometimes companies want people who actually have experienced in a given problem domain, and generally speaking, if you have to "sit with a cup of coffee and some data and try to think things through" that implies a lack of experience, which may not be desirable to the interviewer.
Back in 1990-1996 I was involved in anti-virus work for Israeli company and later on for IBM Watson Research building anti-virus technologies and software.

We had a separate, disconnected laboratory with strict rules (disk-in / no disk out!).
Nasty unknown stuff being tested there.

At some time my work was to develop virtual machine (in C) capable of emulating x86 instruction set to quickly run EXEc files through it to detect if anything weird was going on.

Fun times!
A related issue is that the means of making web UIs are too low-level. There's no standard ready-made widget kit like on desktops.

HTML and CSS started as a solution for publishing text-based content, like the olde magazines but on the web. For that they are splendid: text rendering and basic input handling are taken care of, and wide variety of output devices were supported since day one (HTML 2.0 without tables works excellent on phones).

Then web 2.0 and web apps happened, web idioms began to change, all of people's activity with computers started moving to the web. And it turned out that to create complex UIs for all of that you have to fiddle with rather low-level primitives and handle interactions between them, because outside of text layout HTML primarily knows about divs and a handful of input widgets.

This may be good because high-level widgets will be developed independently and will evolve faster (and maybe better) than if they were built into browsers. But in the meantime we have to live with the chaos that we have.
It's impossible to discuss an article that is never created because there was no money to create it...

I empathize with your need to have easy access to information, and I hope you can empathize with journalists and news media needs to make a living wage.
I did exactly the same thing using NetGuard. It opens your eyes to how much tracking happens with almost every app.

I also block Wi-Fi and mobile data access wholesale for apps like virtual keyboards and most pre-loaded crapware that can't be uninstalled.
That is something a coworker is looking into, the biggest problem is we are expected to have ~5,000+ users of our app internally providing them all with VM's is way beyond the scope of what we support.

Even getting our app running on premise was a nightmare, and resulted in us just buying a rack mount and having them put it inside their DC, after everything they gave us was pretty awful.
You're assuming that the level of trust for ISPs and VPS providers is the same (for many, it's not).
Me too! I’d just been thinking a few days ago how amazing an invention like that would be... no more concerns about neighbors or trains or airplanes or drones... lots of property values would increase and zoning laws would become obsolete if such a thing existed.
Is the app used in third-world countries? IE6 is insecure and only used on very old computers that can't install anything else.

I'd check that the requirement is valid before doing a bunch of work.
It is worth noting that:

- Some people have spent considerable time and effort writing an entire long wiki page for "Criticism of Confucius Institutes".

Yeah, if only it was all unicorns and rainbows. What you describe is how I imagine they interview for director / VP positions. With hundreds (thousands?) of applications per day for software engineering positions, all with perfect resumes, what you describe just doesn’t scale. Software engineers do 1-2 interviews per week each, it’s part of the job. I might be a minority, but I would refuse to spend two of my evenings per week interviewing people. I’d rather spend time with my family instead. I think asking candidates to get a day off for interviews, which happens like once per year or even less often for each candidate is more reasonable than asking your employees to work evenings each week.
The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox-Cabane is pretty solid, but actually implementing the concepts in practice versus simply understanding them in theory is always the hard part. I used a combination of Anki flashcards and Readwise [0] to decent success. I also worked with an incredible communication coach in SF.

The Charisma Myth, FYI, is that you’re naturally born with charisma. The reality is that charisma can be nurtured.

"should not be able to" being the operative phrase :)

Optical control plane generally hasn't benefited from the hardening that's happened in the IP world.

Things like CoPP haven't become common practice yet.
Freepascal pretty much is the cleaned up version you describe. Fast, free, multiplatform, and just plain sensible. Overdue for a resurgence of use. Maybe the foundation in charge could rename it Cpascal and it would suddenly lift in popularity.

Pascal was a language I learnt in 1982 and love it for its elegance. The only thing i dislike and is still around its the begin... End and only because I'm a lazy typist and lazy reader.For me is hard to find Begin-end blocks... Harder than looking for stupid squiggles used in other languages. Go figure.
Idea 1: Is out because they are not actually connected to the outside internet from their workstations.

Idea 2: Not viable due to the sheer number of users most likely.

Idea 3: We tried to get virtualbox to run on their machines, which we found most only have a ~4 GB of ram and it makes hosting an entire other OS a very painful experience.

Idea 4: Looks more and more likely. :(
there is plenty we can and do about it. thats the whole point of a moral cas for fossile fuels, it help us against the things mother nature throws against us.
Right. Same goes for a VPN too.

The thought is, Who do you trust more with your traffic data? Your ISP or a VPN provider? (In this case DigitalOcean)
And sometimes (equally ...gasp..) because you just want to work on interesting problems with people you like -- and those jobs didn't pay out the big bucks.

It's amazing to me that so many people think that the point of a tech job is to walk away with a boat load of cash.
I completely agree with this. It's a process that's practical, fair and scalable.

I'm currently interviewing and so far I have had a 48 hour weekend project, a 3 hour code assessment, and I'm expected to endure 3 days of interviews. I'm fairly close to throwing in the towel and saying I can't be arsed with this.
One UI to rule them all?
This would be a really interesting tool for web developers.

Thankfully, modern UI development is blessed with some really professional UI toolkits: elements UI for vue or Semantic React for instance do a great job of making us think in terms of generic interactions instead of reinventing the wheel.

This means we get to focus on improving the existing as the project warrants which is significantly more rewarding.
I'm just about finishing the Stripe Press re-release. It's an amazing collection of stories in a beautiful book. Can highly recommend it.
Your story is a great illustration of how accurate data can lead people to wrong conclusions. There’s no substitute for a qualitative understanding of the phenomenon being studied.
No doubt. Current price increases may be unsustainable.

I can relate. I was in a similar place. Just know it can get better.

Best thing I ever did was find a therapist that I really clicked with. The accountability and lack of judgement really helped me make progress.

And a bit of progress can be really encouraging.

Support is really important. I wouldn't have made it on my own. My email is in my profile, so please don't hesitate to use it.
Agreed. Also prior to writing there was also folklore, which was surprisingly accurate: there have been many major events from folklore verified by science (earthquakes, astrological events, extreme weather / floods, etc.) IIRC in some cases (Australian aborigines) well over 5,000 years ago (they have been in Australia for 60,000 years!). FWIW I meant generation in the sense of a generation of communications technology, rather than a human. Who measures in human lifespans these days? Hehe.
Just wanted to point out that Google bought Waze in 2013.
Afaik they cannot upgrade because they are heavily reliant on a specialized piece of software that:

1. Requires a dongle attached to a parallel port for it to function.
2. The company who made it went out of business over 15 years ago.

They have plans in the future to migrate to linux, but that isn't in the card for a few years unfortunately.
Serverless seems to me like another one of those mostly fashion-driven things where the actual use cases are applicable only to a very tiny minority of developers.

If you're small then serverless provides no real advantage over Docker or a VM with a small footprint that's easy to update.

If you're large enough that you want automated infrastructure scaling, well, technical considerations as far as things such as latency, service dependencies and data storage become complex enough that you're going to need a bunch of custom components and people who can manage them.

It seems like FastCGI has come around again, except that it's way costlier and more difficult.

Things like edge caching and a few latency-sensitive self-contained functions are a few of the very real use cases for this (which CloudFlare and others seem to be working on), but aside from that it's another specialty application that seems to be taking over for no particular reason, much like iterations of NoSQL and other faddish garbage.
The company isn't in a third world country they are basically reliant on an extremely specialized piece of software/hardware that doesn't work on anything more modern.

Unfortunately this is basically what i am dealt with and i don't have any real options of changing the environment.
I've taken to using python split(':')[:-1] and like constructs
I remember watching an anime called Erased! that elicited similar feelings for me, but it was centered around elementary/secondary school. I'm not sure I can answer your question, I wasn't that close with my highschool class. But two things I can say are: be your genuine self, and take a genuine interest in others.

To say anything more specific would really just be me trying to give advice to my past self, instead of trying to give you advice. Someone you know well may have more personal insights.
If society really does collapse, if they can survive for the first 6 months, there will be a lot fewer people to deal with, and they may be able to gain some power through trade, assuming they have enough manpower to protect their supplies.

It wouldn't be hard for a wealthy person to stockpile years worth of food so as long as they can stay out of site, they could stay holed up for years until the big die-off is over and some semblance of order is restored. Of course, finding a place in the new order is not guaranteed.
If he could have gone to a "non-authorized" third-party for support, like with a PC, then his blog post wouldn't exist, because he would have gone elsewhere, instead of airing his grievances online and hoping Apple will listen and change.
In my opinion, it's happening due to low unemployment rates AND low wages. Wage growth has been weak, and that has a lot to do with the decline in labor-force participation.

In addition to that, there's certainly been a cultural shift in the United States that I personally think is great. Workplaces are more casual and bosses can't necessarily demand undying support from their employees anymore.

I think the message is clear-- treat employees fairly, or they will ghost you.

If employees stil ghost you, then well, "It's Just Business, Nothing Personal."
QEMU may be lighter-weight. A lightweight linux OS and browser may be better.
There's a term for this its called Whataboutism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism
I don't think you're going to be able to go the virtualization route with Windows 2000 as the host. As the client, sure, but not as the host. You'd need at least XP.

For many contractors, Windows 2000 as a requirement would be a red flag--decline the contract and run the other way, because that's just where it starts. Chances are you're looking at the tip of the iceberg.

Since you're already committed, though, your focus should probably be on pushing them to upgrade whatever they can. It's a lot easier to run old software on new platforms than the other way around. Whatever ancient programs they want to run, they can do it on newer versions of Windows--there's guaranteed to be a way, and it'll be a lot easier than getting a modern application running on Windows 2000. Lots of people want to run old programs on new computers. Nobody wants to run new programs on old computers.

Edit: To clarify, there are great programs like DOSBox that will let you run old programs you wouldn't normally be able to run on new versions of Windows. DOSBox targets a specific niche, but it works well, and the concept is quite prevalent: people want a way to run their old programs, even if it's just for nostalgia. I would bet my life on it being significantly easier to run their specialized software on a newer version of Windows, even if it's in a VM. (Or, heck, what about WINE, since they have Ubuntu?)
I personally don’t give a damn about the financial viability of the New York Times, but the paper still wields so much cultural and political influence that I feel compelled to read some amount of what they publish just to keep current. If their power wanes, so will my interest in proportion.

Don't quote me on this, but I'm fairly certain it's not reasonably possible to get a proper VM running on Windows 2000. Even if you can get some form of virtualization working, it's going to be far too slow and cumbersome to run Electron.

You’re using a different meaning when you talk about falsifying a hypothesis.

From Oxford via https://google.com/search?q=falsify :

1. alter (information, a document, or evidence) so as to mislead. "a laboratory which was alleged to have falsified test results"

vs

2. prove (a statement or theory) to be false. "the hypothesis is falsified by the evidence"

> Typical is 500-600 Down

500/941 vs 500/1000 is 50% vs 53% of advertised. The 3% isn't really significant. I don't think it's bad service for the price, but it certainly isn't true 1gigE.
It has happened before. If you drove through west Texas during the early 90s you would have seen places like Pecos, where there were lots of nice houses that were completely abandoned. The whole area is littered with dying small towns from various boom eras.
Well, the Pew research organization puts everyone who earns above a certain amount in the upper class. It's about 100k. And we know that the rich have got even richer in the last few years, with a thinning of the "middle" earners. There are plenty of articles out there which focus on the erosion of the middle class.

As I mentioned, some people (in the UK for example) are invested in the idea of the working class, and draw the class boundaries between working and middle so as to enlarge the working class. Often this is about preserving their own identity rather than assessing the wealth of different social strata. But living in relative comfort has been a middle class thing.
Wow, this page made my top icon tray in Android turn pink. What is the CSS property responsible for this? (My guess would be: background-color)
Oh come on, argue the strongest part of their argument, would you, instead of nitpicking over string reverse. They've repeatedly, laboriously, explained that reversing a string isn't the relevant part to be focusing on.

What I'm interested in from a senior engineer is how many systems they've designed, implemented, deployed to production and supported in their careers and what their specific roles were in those projects. If I can't get an idea from their resume I wouldn't contact them for an interview.

And when their resume looks good and claims they are an expert, and you call them in and talk to them and they say they are an expert, and you start by opening a warmup question on the most basic levels of their expertise and they totally flunk it on multiple levels - unable to even handle the situation with tact or diplomacy in any way, are you still going to trust what they say about the systems they've "deployed and supported"?
Excel is cartesian, which is hardly 'graphical'. There are virtually no superfluous graphical detail (e.g. placement of shapes, arrows, thickness etc.) -- the only part of the flexgrid that has semantic meaning is the row and column reference.
I'm not based out of SF (where I hear it's much easier to get noticed) and my network here in Israel is not so strong that a blog post makes any splash, my concern is that just from looking at the landing page even a technical prospects may think this is nothing fancy.
