I actually just recently tried to use an iPad Pro for coding (more specifically, I tried to not use my laptop at all for several days, fully replacing it with an iPad).

My experience was that coding was definitely not as smooth as on my laptop, but I took an approach several folks here have called out: using a cloud-based VM and connecting to it remotely. I used the Termius app, which was pretty solid.

I got my initial inspiration from http://yieldthought.com/post/12239282034/swapped-my-macbook-... (and the followup http://yieldthought.com/post/31857050698/ipad-linode-1-year-... )
When you say packaged into derivatives, what do you mean? I can sell you all sorts of derivatives today without ever owning the underlying.
> With 500 it becomes nearly impossible to do anything involving a build.

Both FB and Google have more than 500 devs and are using a monorepo.
Yes. Ask specifically about roles on our Gamma X team, which has more of an engineering focus. Feel free to drop me a note at daniel@bcg.com if you have questions.
At some level of approximation you can encode any higher dimensional space into a lower dimensional one. The usual approach is to use a space-filling curve, like a z-order curve or Hilbert space filling curve, then describing a point in the higher dimensional space as a distance along the curve.
I think he means there's no point hooking it up to Linux if there is no support :)
I believe you can just wrap it in something like Electron and then upload the whole package to services like Steam.
Nexus 5X is a bad example. I got one two years ago and it was a piece of shit out of the box. No longer supported so I had to trade it in (work phone).
Double Your Development Velocity Without Growing Your Team
Thanks for this, yes I think these could be good ideas. Just quickly on d) I meant it would be visually useful to see a table showing the data for the top 5 or 10 countries too, or else you have to hover over each country to see, and then you could show vs 2017 to see if there has been a large increase in a given country for example.

Understandable about salary data, a shame though! Thanks a lot!
I think there will be problems in housing, but not the problems this article describes. (Yes, I am over 40. And no, a 5% mortgage is not remotely problematic.)

With increased automation and wage stratification, there will be fewer jobs and fewer good-paying ones to allow people to buy houses. The price of housing has always marched upward, but it will get to the point where only the wealthy can afford a house.

That's my guess, anyway. Time will tell.
Amazon does not use a monorepo, so you might want to rethink your "statistic".
You interpreted what I said as an attack on your “personhood?” It seems to me you’re falling into the same trap of exaggerated outrage that’s so in vogue, in which taking offense is seen as something approaching a valid point or position. It is very difficult to engage with people who do this.
I'd say coding using just a touchscreen would be terrible, but keep in mind that tablets aren't limited to just the touchscreen. In fact, you can plug a full-sized mechanical keyboard into an iPad (though the more common keyboard is likely the smartcover.
it's the same reason that convex mirrors in America must have the text "OBJECTS IN MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR" engraved. i.e. Americans (think Americans) are stupid.
So, probably the only thing that China buys from the West...
from my observation, the primary drivers are

1) the heroin/fentanyl epidemic

2) political choices or fiscal constraints as local spending on public healthcare/shelters/mental-wards/criminal-justice has not kept up with spiraling costs increases and population growth

3) the minimum rents in coastal cities exceeding the max SSID benefit ( ~$750/month) in the early 2010s

The sub causes of (3) are myriad but include; a decade of easy credit inflating property values, revival of American cities, local zoning/permitting strangling construction, and I guess the economic success of West coast technology companies (although this tax base keeps the government sector afloat particularly in California, so think the progressives protest a bit too much)

The east coast does not have as many problems with (2) because there is an effective "right to shelter" with subfreezing winter temps. Having enough shelter capacity helps prevent the short-term homeless from becoming "chronically homeless".
I'd say that his point is more that Apple refuses to work with nVidia for various reasons. AMD's chips run far hotter than nVidia ones, so this further limits their options considering the thermal constraints of their devices.
Unfortunately, these debates tend to be of the bikeshed variety.

Q: Why are we debating the merits of mono-repos over poly-repos?

A: Because it's managing dependencies is really hard and needs expertise.
None of the online IDEs are as good as PyCharm. Don't waste your time and money.
What's wrong with trying something out to see if it's ready yet? You're making it sound like it's stupid to even see if something works.
> so they can keep both hands on the wheel and devote more attention to what's happening outside.

That was my point though. When driving a manual, your hands are either A) on the wheel, or B) one on wheel, other shifting gears. You can't really do much else. Maybe drink coffee if you're sitting in the same gear over distance, but in suburban traffic with stop lights and signs and turns, you can't afford to do much more than drive, shift, and execute maneuvers like lane changes, turns, etc.

There's far less opportunity to do things like text, read, rubberneck, etc. I.E. Devote more attention to what's happening outside.
Hmmm... I just noticed my name is listed under "unindicted co-conspirators" in the "About BBEDit" menu box on version 11.6.8.

I'm pretty sure that's not me, unless it's a "easter egg" trick that shows a registered user's name in there.

They did, however, add a feature I requested in BBEdit 7.0 (rectangular text selections) which I still find kind of astounding and use almost daily.

I don't remember exactly when I first bought BBEdit, but it was in the mid-late `90s so it's been more than 20 years I've been depending on it.

Honestly, BBEdit is the main reason I still use a Mac. I'd switch to Linux in a heartbeat if BBEDit made a version to run on it.
>The problem is that your attention isn't riveted on the mirrors at all times.

This is mitigated by what pilots call their "scan" or "flow" (I've heard both terms).

Pilots follow a visual path around the instruments to ensure they refresh their awareness of critical values and system states (airspeed, ascent rate, engine parameters, etc.) at appropriate intervals¹.

I argue that drivers should have a similar flow to maintain constant situational awareness, and side mirrors are a key element in such a pattern.

I also have a pre-drive checklist that I call the "Six Ls" —

Lights (obvi), Locks (obvi) , Levels (fuel, oil press, electrical supply, etc.), Laps (seat belts), Load (cargo secured?), Loud (radio down/pax calm).

/Acey

¹—With automatic alerting in modern planes this arguably is not strictly needed, but pilots start in small, simple planes before moving up the tech stack and it's a good practice at any level.
That is one hell of a thread!

I've been involved in KDE Community in the past 10-15 years and I'd never seen so much bad blood between developers of both communities publicly.

It shows that the flame wars that still continue to this day had a root.
The iPad Pro will become a viable "pro" device when they finally stop artificially holding it back by not allowing a full version of Safari.

Edit: and of course mouse/trackpad support
>It sounds like you've read the anecdote about the Cobra Effect and generalized...

I’d say it sounds like you read about the anecdote and have little first hand experience with these bounty programs in Florida. Whereas I live in south Florida and I am familiar with fraud and failure of these bounty programs with pythons and lion fish...whereas I have seen non-bounty government programs gain ground in the eradication of giant African snails.

Good luck gaining any ground with advocating for life time jail sentences for breeding animals (invasive or otherwise) in Florida. Have any evidence such a program has ever existed?
> I guess we can skip over this due to his agenda.

No, you should skip over this because the number is obviously factually flawed. I can't link to the Puget Sound Business Journal infographic it's from because PSBJ uses a paywall. Regarding "having missed the Reddit post disproving it," as I wrote, it was widely discredited (including in Reddit comments). It's unlikely that anyone following the issue as closely as a city council candidate would have "missed" that.

I'm all for learning more about the problem. However, all 4 sources that I linked to are closer to primary sources for the information they provide, and 3 or 4 of the 4 are less biased.
No. A thousand times no. I did this, on the advice of “Click” and “Clack” the CarTalk brothers. Shortly after, I backed into a short concrete pillar and messed up my left rear fender. The pillar was too short to see out of the back window, but I would have seen it if my side mirrors were set correctly as they reach you in school. You have to see where your fenders are going. Imagine if it was a small child back there instead of a pillar.
That's what we did at my last workplace; 800-odd devs, 3000-odd repos, and a service we wrote to record and gather all the ownership metadata (which team owns this repo? where can I contact them? who should be on the code reviews? how do I page them? which project should tickets be created in?)

It was a gigantic pain trying to find owners for half-dead repos for services still running and in use, where the original authors had left years ago & from teams 4 or 5 restructures ago. The one thing I learned was: never make a user the owner of a repo (unless it is in their personal space), always find a team to accept responsibility for it.
I hear you on Go. I am a Python dev at work and love Python, have dug into PEP8 and understood the tradeoffs for the sake of simplicity. Now after years of not touching Go I go back to it and it feels soooo familiar. It truly feels like a compliment to any serious Python developer to find Go. Now I got two goto languages for prototyping.
I was really surprised that many of the web IDEs don't support the external keyboard in iOS.

I haven't tried repl.it, but the ace editor (which cloud9 uses) doesn't support the arrow keys on the external keyboard for iOS which is a deal breaker for me.[1]

Code Sandbox [2] however allows you to select which editor (Monaco or CodeMirror) and CodeMirror has a fix for handling the arrow keys. I've found Code Sandbox works pretty well on my iPad - it has a nice Github integration so I can commit directly or open pull requests from the web IDE.

Saying home meal kit providers are a threat to grubhub is like saying frozen pizza is going to run pizza joints out of business IMO. Different target audiences in the vast majority of user cases.
I did/do the exact same thing. I have an AWS nano server purely for coding on, and I use tmux/vim on it via Termius. I hadn't consulted the internet for resources, just kinda stumbled my way through it, so good to know I'm not very much alone. It works quite well for what I need it for (systems programming) and there are even better options for web app programming. I haven't explored doing native GUI applications but it can be likely overcome.

Termius is probably one of the best apps I've ever used, period. It's very well-made and well-designed and I had no qualms shelling out for the full version even though I hardly needed the extra features.

I still prefer a Linux/Mac/Windows OS but this is pretty handy once you get the hang of it.
Cars can avoid bikers more easily than pedestrians. You don't walk around with rear-view mirrors.

A bike rear-ending a pedestrian is going to be much worse than broken bones for both. A bike rear-ending a car is just going to hurt the biker.

The solution you're looking for is for people to not ride bikes if they don't want to take the risk.

I'm pretty sure sidewalk building codes are also written to assume they're not a bike path. You're more likely to run into blind corners on the sidewalk (and thus risk a collision) than a bike lane.

You've also forgotten about disabled people using the sidewalks.
Gee, sounds like a theory seeking facts. Isn't it supposed to work the other way around?

You know, math is really great and all, and you can transform a sphere into a torus, but meat doesn't transform into flies.
>there are much better resources for learning about homelessness in Seattle than an interview with a dropout Seattle City Council candidate who has a pretty clear political agenda

Agreed that there are better ways to get informed but it's a politician's job to have a clear political agenda. Forgive me if I'm detecting the wrong tone but I'm becoming accustomed to hearing people say "political agenda" with the implication of some sinister plot.
Codea is awesome. It has so many features and a ton of great examples. You can build the app entirely using an iPad and then export it as an Xcode project when you’re ready to distribute it.
Top writers don't negotiate through unions, they have agents.
I have the attachable keyboard stand that sits comfortably on my knee when I'm on the train. I can type as fast on that as I can a laptop. Honestly with a half decent IDE/dev toolchain it would be a fantastic little lightweight setup for coding.
> What's wrong with trying something out to see if it's ready yet?

It will never be ready, it's the wrong tool for the job. Trying to use the wrong tool for the job is stupid, do you routinely try to hammer nails with a screwdriver to see if it's ready yet?
My thought is that signaling before the full check gives the other driver a chance to make sure they're comfortable with and prepared for the change, but obviously you want to know they're there already.

I think the missing point in that SMOG acronym is general awareness. I don't know if they teach this, but I won't signal unless I'm already quite sure I'm lined up with a clear space I want to get into. But, once I'm aligned and think I'm good, I'll signal, double check mirrors, shoulder check, and then go. The only new info that gives is the shoulder check, and if you're paying attention a shoulder check should never surprise you.

If you need to change lanes within the next 30 seconds, and don't already have general knowledge of the destination lane's status, you've screwed up already. [1] It makes much more sense to consider checking after signaling if it's a double-check, not your first look at what's around you.
Is it legal to have European style mirrors in the us? I almost crashed due to the stupid American bathroom mirrors.

I tried using a chromebook to develop about 12-18 months ago and tried both cloud9 and repl.it.

I found cloud9 a bit annoying to use. It basically spins up an EC2 instance for you that you are then connecting to, so you have pretty much a full file system which was cool, but it felt like they were really pushing Lambda as the way to go. Trying to run a bunch of dockerized microservices on a single instance (which is what our infrastructure is) was possible, but it just felt like an uphill battle, so I abandoned it.

Repl.it was much easier to work with, IMO. The problem I ran into was that it worked well for small projects or prototyping, but became a pain if I had to switch between multiple projects regularly.

IMO, both were cool and overall fairly solid, but there were just too many little annoyances that piled up that I don't get with my current local development set up. It just felt like I spent a lot of my time configuring things or trying to hack things to fit my workflow.

That all being said, I'm not the most patient person with new tools and this was a while ago, things might have changed or may fit your development style better. I'd say they are worth at least looking into.
Without those who hit their heads with hammer at times, we won't know if it feels great or not.
What would the risk analysis look like for sovereign debt?
George Lucas Did Not Rape My Childhood, but His Sith Informed My Politics
I’m able to get an absurd amount banged out with just my thumbs. I’ve taken comprehensive meeting notes this way. Possibly the reason to do it for coding would be the ability to code from anywhere for quite a while on battery/cell. Mosh does not take up much bandwidth or power.

As an example, I worked on some professional projects over mosh on my iPhone to my home network from work. My job at the time made a lot of time demands on me, but I had already mastered whatever professional growth I could in that position - so I took to setting up and learning tech that way.
My screwdriver never changes. The iPad is an ever-evolving tool. It may become the right tool one day.
I advocate turning your head and looking, but it’s not safe to take your eyes off the car ahead of you in Seattle traffic many times.

When traffic is both fast and heavy and with the potential to completely stop fast enough to engage abs, randomly, every few miles, anything you can do to shorten the quick look the better.

I have done this with my mirrors for a year or so and it’s been a big help. I still dart a glance when I feel safe enough, but there are times when it isn’t safe.

I am careful to give a blink on my signal before moving over and I try to change at a speed where if I’ve made a mistake, someone has time to dodge or honk.
It works just fine right now, depending on what you're trying to do. I learned and continue to practice Rust development via my iPad Pro near daily.

Hammers, nails, and screws a pretty much set. They're not changing regularly.

An iPad becoming a laptop-replacement is happening - its progress is debatable, but it's definitely changing on each iteration.

They undervalue their currency by pinning it to the dollar. So investing in RMB is equivalent, in terms of risk, to investing in the USD. And there's plenty of demand for investing in USD.
As a UK counterpoint, most of my friends and family (at least 15 people) use iPhones and iMessage/FaceTime is a major reason for sticking to the Apple ecosystem for us.
> has ties to to the Claremont Institute (known for dabbling a bit in white nationalism)

It's gotten to the point that I don't trust these vague-links-to-white-nationalism accusations at all. They so rarely have any substance to them that they make me more suspicious of the person accusing than the person being accused.
Very cool. Curious what esgy stands for or means?
Any reputable investment firm will have risk management reports. If you don't like your fund pouring significant money into A+ rate bonds of a country with potential headwinds then pull out or sue.
Echoing others, I use a physical keyboard. Unfortunately I'm limited to the smart keyboard cover Apple sells, mostly because I'm too cheap or lazy to buy a better one, but much better ones do exist.
[...] whether it packs away nicely into a bounded area [...]

That is nothing you should worry about, with enough deformation you can make a map of any shape you like for any space. You must not conclude from looking at a map of the Earth using for example a Mercator projection that there are somewhere four straight edges meeting at right angles and where you can just fall off Earth. You also must not naively make conclusions about the relative sizes of things as they get heavily distorted. The same holds for this map of hyperbolic space, it is really misleading - in the space there is no boundary, there is no special point in the middle, it does not pack nicely into a circle in any meaningful way, ... Those are all just artifacts of the way this map is drawn and it has nothing to do at all with the underlying space.
I think the bigger problem is that the Chinese high-end market is tapped out for anything except newer-looking models (i.e. non-S updates), and that local Chinese brands are eating the low and medium end. Which Apple shouldn't want to dabble in anyway, as the margins are very thin.
That's relatively new. Housing prices over the last decade have gone way up.

Anyone tried Cloud9 on an iPad Pro?
> This is legal.

That has yet to be determined. Tax law does recognize acts whose sole or primary purpose is to avoid taxes (i.e. not as a side effect of other business purposes) as evasion, and evasion is illegal. Just because such cases are very hard to prosecute successfully, and are rarely prosecuted at all for that or other reasons, doesn't make an illegal act legal.

> I expect that you also make 0 deduction

That's an incredibly shallow argument. Those who identify a problem don't have to be martyrs. In particular, those who identify inequity are under no obligation to increase it at their own expense before it can be addressed. I'll be glad to give up my exemptions when the tax code is fixed for everybody, not while others are still benefiting from its flaws.

Policy and decisions and personal benefit should be separate. We should respect those who will argue for a policy change out of principle, even when that means giving something up, and not demand that they give up more. The people we really shouldn't trust are those who never argue for a policy that doesn't benefit them. That's called corruption.
The diet/exercise habits of large swaths of people are already so bad that you could hardly make them worse. The trouble lies in gathering accurate data about them (did he drink 1 or 2 bottles of Mountain Dew yesterday?), and in controlling for all the confounding factors such as genetics, environmental exposure, etc.
There's also REPLete, a clojurescript repl for iOS and Android.
>Right, but if they do have applicants who are able to devote full attention to the well-being of the dog, then prioritizing those applicants is probably in the best interests of the dog.

That's the case for a few highly sought-after breeds, but not the vast majority.

If it were the case that demand exceeds the supply for unwanted dogs, there would be no need for rescue organizations.

>but if you're unable to take work off (at least at first) to spend time with your dog (especially while your dog is getting used to its new home/family/"pack"), you might not be the right fit.

There definitely aren't enough jobless people to handle the supply of unwanted dogs. Kenneling a dog is much more stressful than moving a dog to a new home. Unless you have a particularly damaged dog (which could be the case of course), there's no need to take off work for more than a weekend (provided you aren't gone too long , and you have a fence or someone to walk the dog). It's a dog not a baby.
Precisely the same here, minus android experience – been with Apple since the original iPhone. Money is really no object so I ordered the iPhone X the moment they became available, but the XS really doesn't seem to offer anything new at all. Even now, comparing the models I only see some minor camera changes and an A12 chip over A11. I don't even know what that means. All I know is this phone is crazy good, and it'll have to take some crazy innovation coming out of Apple to get me to upgrade. I fee the same about my MBP frankly. Crazy good hardware, I'll stick with them for sure, but I have no need for anything new because it's pretty much the same as the old.
