A tool I have used in the past (and one of the favorites for folks doing full Visual Novels) is "RenPy" which is based on Python - https://www.renpy.org/

Not involved with the tool itself, but have created a few works with it and enjoy the fact it can run on so many platforms and target so many others.

> it is hard to imagine a culture having sufficient technological capability to cause climate change without also achieving space flight

What does that get you? You can’t orbit Earth for a million years without refueling. And the rest of the bodies is pretty inhospitable. What’s the best case there, a million people on Mars with a few decades of preparation? What’s the probability of such an outpost surviving?
mbed is a toy, at the same professional level as Arduino, although ARM does a better job of marketing as something much more serious.

However, AutoSAR is a fair point. There are a lot of hands in the pot on that and them coming to an agreement to use C++ is rather surprising - counterpoint that Automotive ECU code is absolutely HORRIBLE right now and no one seems to know it. I work in Auto and all the mfgs have moved to a fix in the field model. It’s really bad, and I wouldn’t touch a first year new model for any reason.

So while AutoSAR C++ is interesting, this isn’t exactly the group that I want to model myself on.

Fair point though.
> (BTW, I get seriously uptight at all the web designers who like to call themselves engineers :-) )

I feel similarly to you, but would extend it to cover most software development, period. With feet in multiple traditional engineering disciplines, I don't see the majority of software development as coming close to the bar of engineering (though some certainly does). And I don't mean that in the sense of licensure, nor am I merely trying to be snooty. But to hear the software world co-opt "engineering" to mean "technical work" is grating.
I have a PhD, but can't represent myself as doctor or use the Dr. Prefix as this is reserved for member of the college of doctors.

DigitalOcean | NYC | REMOTE | Sr Engineer: Platform Core

My team, Platform Core is hiring a Sr Engineer. Our team develops an internal PaaS based on Kubernetes, and operates the underlying infrastructure. Lots of fun and interesting stuff to do: we run over a thousand different services on our platform, and are constantly evolving it to expose new features and make operations simpler and better for the whole engineering org. The work is a healthy mix of operations (chef, docker, linux, kubernetes) and development (golang). Ops experience is a big plus for background and context, but the work is heavier on development.

Standard (S17) | San Francisco | On-site

Humanity spends billions of hours waiting in line every year. At the end of those lines we collectively spend over $20 trillion. Weʼre building the next revolution of in-store payments with machine vision. Our system lets shoppers walk in, grab what they want, and get charged automatically as they leave. No lines, no friction. It's ecommerce level convenience in stores, without sacrificing the immediacy and tangibility of shopping. Our goal is to put this technology in every store around the world, and become the standard for how people shop and pay.

We're hiring across the stack: ML infrastructure, perception engineering, deep learning, frontend, backend (python), systems and infra (rust). We're a 60 person team, growing fast, and looking for friendly and talented people to help us revolutionize the way people interact with the world.

If you love solving hard problems with great people, shoot us a message!

Thank you for this serious answer!
And Thoughtworks won’t provide travel and stay if a candidate is to come for interviews from out of town. This was my shocking experience last year or prior to that, don’t remember. Well thank you we have better opportunities at waaay better companies.

Is it ok to operate an Estonian company from Germany though?

Not for tax reasons (assuming you would pay the same tax for either a German or Estonian company as others said in the thread) but for bureaucracy reasons. Skipping the whole German procedure.
And Sub7
Well, there aren’t many cars in Somalia.
Ok, in that case I agree. Taxation does set a lower bound on the value of a currency (barring unusual circumstances like hyperinflation), but it's not the sole determiner of a currency's value.
> Moot point though because the pre-Cambrian fossil record lacks anything that could have evolved into intelligent life so quickly.

Isn’t the idea that the intermediate fossils were ground away by glaciers?
That would be the complaint if you didn't isolate the code and explain the task properly.

If you can't do that then you should probably worry about your own skills before testing somebody else's.

i have occasionally heard stores of ppl losing funds from hardware wallets. usually it's after buying it on Amazon.
Technically with moves like this, we already are. The question should instead be phrased: would enough users opt into giving money instead of being advertised to, and that's much trickier. You'd lose some opportunity cost with an ad or not model and having to support that, but I think a nontrivial amount of people would rather spend money than be advertised to.
No.

I am a highly experienced iOS Developer with 7+ years of experience making native apps with both Objective-C and Swift.

Here's an interesting article on this flyby by Phil Plait:
https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/get-ready-for-humanitys-most-d...
> The process that forges new land (volcanism) is the same process that beats back snowball earth and re-balances the atmosphere with more CO2.

And I believe volcanism, at least the sort that is most common today (that from ocean-margin subduction zones, rather than that from spreading zones like Iceland or hotspots like Hawaii) results from subducted sediments melting into magma, with their melting points reduced by the presence of subducted water. If so, then do we have the large amounts of sediment, created by the snowball-earth glaciation, setting the stage for the volcanism that ends it?

There are fossils of Precambrian, post-snowball multi-cellular life, but they are not very much like, and nowhere near as diverse, as what appeared in the Cambrian, so I think the explosion still looks like a real event and not just an artifact of an imperfect record.

How I learned to read (with regularity, as an adult)
That doesn't mean hackers knew about it.

It's like finding out my neighbor doesn't lock his front door at night and announcing it on twitter. I didn't create the vulnerability but I'm helping criminals take advantage of it.
Have You Seen These Homes for Sale in Williamson County
Yeah, from my experience people from their mid-twenties to mid-forties are fans. People outside those ranges don't seem to care much. I'm in my early 40s (I'd have been closest to Will's age I think) and a huge fan of the show.

The best I could find was this:

https://variety.com/2017/tv/news/stranger-things-season-2-ra...

> According to Nielsen ... each episode of ... season (2) drew more than 4 million viewers per episode, and with more than 3 million of those falling in the key adults 18-49 demographic within the first three days of its release (Oct. 27-29).

The article goes on to quote other statistics (including 15 million + viewers of the first episode). And then:

> “The data that Nielsen is reporting is not accurate, not even close, and does not reflect the viewing of these shows on Netflix,” the company said in a statement at the time of the original announcement.

I'm not certain how Nielsen collects data these days, but in the early aughts, our local Fox station waged a campaign to get younger viewers to participate in Nielsen studies because the data Nielsen had showed no one was watching syndicated episodes of the Simpsons, so advertisers wouldn't pay. (I suspect the advertisers knew people were watching and just wanted a discount.) The campaign seemed to work (and was also the one and only time I was in a Nielsen household).

Since then, I still take Nielsen ratings with a huge grain of salt, so I'm inclined to believe the Netflix statement that we really don't have any idea.
Hawai'i is "surprisingly affordable" only relative to the Bay Area. All labor is at first-world American rates and so many things have to be shipped in.

Maybe it's an option for wealthy Silicon Valley escapees, but it's surely not a solution for the economic woes of middle America.
Reading that page in reverse chronological order was kind of humbling; to see where we came from on a specific subject.

It also reminded me of the astronomy course I took in university that taught me how much astronomy is about logical deduction. Deducing what must be there based on orbits and how it obscures light from stars, shadows, etc. And then going out there and validing all of it. That's beautiful.
It probably would have taken longer and I really needed my car fixed.
Someone has to pay their programmers. It's through ads via partnership with Google or other ads.
That's not really actionable. Even if my skills aren't up to pytester's standards, we still need to recruit developers now. And for what it's worth I doubt I'll ever be able to explain most of the tasks our business is doing what you refer to as "properly".
I found this thread by Alex Parker very informative and fascinating.

> I see a lot of people who were doctors, lawyers, and tech professionals in the farming business. That is probably not a coincidence.

That is just the Green Acres phenomenon, they are doing it because they have capital from other professions, not because they make a lot in farming.

You have a very strange interpretation of farming in the USA, if you could provide some links/articles that back up your understand, I would take your argument more seriously. I can find a hundred articles on why farming is dying profession, and not any on why it is booming one as you seem to suggest.
I know BBEdit, GraphicConverter, and Fetch use some system hooks to integrate with Finder. I've never used PCalc and can't think of a reason it wouldn't work in a sandbox.
Not true, the Woodward corridor is pushing north toward New Center and is really nice. Corktown is also seeing an investment infusion due to the train station being redeveloped by Ford and lots of housing development. Check out brush park as well and Woodbridge, downtown is pushing out. Go look at it! Things are definitely changing.

No where was I making the point that engineers are special. It's that other teams not not special, but they get to be special by being allowed to not understand one core group of employees. To foster a good environment, culture and cooperation between teams it's important that there is a strong crossover in skills and knowledge.

Your response is making my point that other teams do view themselves as special by blatantly ignoring the basic skills of the engineers. For everyone of those items there are dedicated teams who are the experts, but companies expect that all employees have a functional knowledge of them. So, why do they not expect that, in a tech company, those dedicated teams to have a functional knowledge of engineering. There is no communication without a common frame of reference.
Also there's the (very good) Max Planck Institute for Informatics next door: https://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/
I see that you're not a fan, but there are many among us who support HSR and more housing in places like Cupertino. The fact that it's $2 million indicates it's desperately needed.

Though I agree that HSR has been suboptimal. I'd have preferred to have a massive improvement in medium speed rail than a focus on HSR specifically - just make the Coast Starlight take 8 hours from downtown SF to DTLA, not 13, and you'd have a reasonably viable service.
Dungeon Warfare is a really refreshing take on Tower Defense. I can highly recommend it. Works good on mobile as well.
None of your arguments support the thesis that a closed border is immoral. And yet they are all misguided, even to the extent that they argue something or other.

For example, the Berlin wall divided a city that was otherwise ethnically, culturally, geographically, historically a single unit. This is not comparable to a national border in any sense. So why make the comparison?

Past injustices like colonialism, whether good, bad, or evil, justified or otherwise, have no bearing on present policies except perhaps as an illustration of the dangers of cultural disunity. In any case, if they make an policy argument, it is for more greatly closed borders. Much more. With machine guns.

Likewise, the effectiveness of a physical border is technical problem--not a moral or rhetorical point of any sort. You can't say, "ladders defeat walls, therefore walls are immoral." Silly argument.

I guess my point is--if you want open borders for X reason, just say 'X'. For instance, open borders might be economically advantageous to you or people of the group you identify with. That's rational.
Teaching, research and service is the traditional job description for tenure-track professors.

Which tier one school does not expect and pay CS profs to teach?
The article is from 2014. We should put that year in the title.
it's just natural extension of moving within your native country to maximize opportunity/cost of living

Extending something far enough can fundamentally change it's character. This is why we have concepts like predatory lending, a term we apply to loans whose terms are naturally extended to maximize returns.

Economic extraction doesn't have to involve resource extraction of the exact same type as old colonialism.
Most of the BBEdit can fit, however some functionality will be lost.

Similarly, Fetch can fit. If Forklift, Cyberduck, Transmit and DaisyDisk can fit into the AppStore model with minimal losses, Fetch can too.

However there's always a distinct beauty to an application which is downloaded independently and can run on a platform without restrictions. BBEdit has a very distinct feeling to it. It's fast, compact and packed with lots and lots of features. It's fitting into the definition of well distilled and developed application.
