> UI experiments like this show that what a lot of pro users want for iOS on the iPad is for it to become a Mac.

So wrong! Down is up! Freedom is slavery!

UI experiments like this show that -developers who make UI experiments like this- want it to become a Mac.

And for God's sake let's not look to engineers' desires for UX cues.

Engineers are so hellaciously picky about their setups -- imagine bridging the gap between Swift Playgrounds and customizing zsh -- that asking for nothing less than a full laptop is foregone conclusion.

If we look at other "pro" users, however -- particularly in music and graphic design, you find -users- (here, we're not confusing users with developers making experiments) using these mobile devices for their virtues and not despite them. They're mobile slate notepads, ultra-reliable performance surfaces, or rich instant cameras.

Plenty of shops have tried to create super-pro apps in this space. They've got rich and powerful interfaces that push well beyond typical UIKit. They're beautiful, expensive and unpopular (Audulus 3, Moog Model 15, Korg Gadget)

The OP shop is going down this road, sadly. Try their shader editor -- it's beautifully done. And assuming the bugs get ironed out it will be celebrated as a beautiful and capable shader node editor for your phone...and then laid aside.

I originally used Howstuffworks, it was a bit vague. The wikipedia summary was better. So:

* mortgages before the 1934 reforms weren't quite what we'd recognize as mortgages. They generally didn't cover the full value of the house. And their widespread use seemed fairly new in the 1920s and lead to a crash

* the 1934 act created 15 year mortgages (I was wrong to say 5, that must have been the refinancing timeframe)

* the 30 year mortgage was indeed only introduced in the 1950s. So it's a rather recent tradition

>The buyers in the market choose to purchase products which reflect machine capabilities.

The buyers are limited by: (a) what's cheap so they can afford, (b) what's available, (c) what's advertised -- among other things.

There's no "perfect market" where people perfectly "vote with their wallets".
So, mercantilism all over again? Have we gone a full circle?
Cigarette butts are really a problem ... at least for me. They are disgusting. So even though they are not a significant source for ocean plastic, they should be avoided or cleaned.

2. Traffic filtering expert programmer like cloudflare to filter malacious level 7 traffic ensuring lowest latency possible architecture.

Salary: Equity (since it's a new startup, upto 7% is available and livable remote wage.

Right now we can't offer above market wage.

We are developing a MVP and we need a good programmer.

The industry is adtech and product's potential is upto 20M rev per year.

Assuming 10M profit a year, with 10% equity it nets 1m per year for you.

Obviously, product doesn't exist yet so it's a risky venture, but we are confident that it will produce above market returns that's why we quit our job and now working on this product.

I've previously done some coding and been a project manager and I've extensive sales/marketing/customer service background.

But now i mostly want to work on acquiring the customer so we need a good programmer, so we need want someone who is willing to take risk and go down this path with us.

What is the purported benefit as opposed to a shorter cookie that is the key for an expiring record in redis that contains whatever session information the JWT would have? And it scales... The JWT would just continue to grow in size and increase request response size... And you'd have TWO expiration dates (on the cookie and in the JWT).
Some WERE malicious. Such as the virus "FORM", which corrupted the partition somehow.
That's increasingly the way of the past.

I'm not sure why you are being downvoted because there are very clearly benefits to smoking in the form of stimulation and relaxation. Many people get started with smoking because it provides these benefits. People shouldn't do it because the overall risk profile is highly negative given the health impacts, but to say there are no benefits frames the problem completely incorrectly.

Otter predates Vivaldi (at least publicly)—I think Otter started very very soon after Opera 12 was discontinued. It's also open source (which imo was Opera's downfall), and uses an engine that is not the dominant one on the market (albeit a close cousin); I think both of these points are on its favour.

On the other hand, Vivaldi seems to have more resources behind it, as well as the name of Jon von Tetzchner, which helps adoption. It just seems to be making the same mistakes Opera did (closed source, so the community can never bring it forward independently), with the added downside of being really no different from the market leader under the hood (rendering).
I think your attitude is mostly right. As a junior developer, just having a senior developer who cares already means a lot.

I am one and a half year into my first job as a developer, after a late-career from marketing at 37yo.

At the same time, I have a formal role as a mentor of two apprentices that are just starting to learn software development from scratch (a great program we have on our company).

So I feel I understand both sides.

One thing that is not good (but you can't change) is that the junior developers only have you to ask. I personally would not accept a job where there is only one senior developer. At least, you seem to have the right attitude, which is great!

Tutoring on good development practices (TDD, pair, code reviews, code design, etc), rather than language syntax, is the right choice because that is hard to learn on your own.

I wouldn't worry about the on-the-job learning being too shallow. The best case scenario for them is for them to feel productive, and not a burden. So if you are shipping things, it matters a lot. Even if you feel that they are not learning a lot from each topic.

So try to mitigate the trade-off between education and productivity. Try to break the development tasks for them, in very small and clear pieces, so they know what they have to do in a way that any doubt they can google it and keep moving.

That said, deep learning will be incredibly important in their careers. So also guide their learning time outside of work. They (as every developer) will have to reserve some time to study consistently outside of work. Try to guide what they are studying, by recommending books and courses. Your job here is to prioritize and give focus on what topics they are studying. There just too many choices. Too many topics, too many resources, too many channels, too many opinions to choose from. Set the topics yourself and guide them through what they should study.

My summary: prepare everything so they can be the most productive (deliver value to the company) in the work hours and guide them through what they should study in more depth in the off-work hours.
I think you're agreeing with everyone else.

Including/writing a fully featured Vector library when you need a Vector library is perfectly fine; but if you're writing some code to handle those Vectors you should stop after it's done and not generalise it to also handle a bunch of other types in case you might need it later (because you probably won't).

On my Linux desktops, laptops, and HTPC, Netflix refuses to give me anything better than 720p by design (DRM not good enough to be trusted with better quality). Netflix is 'good enough' for some light viewing, but any quality film I'll (hypothetically) download from a source that doesn't bother with DRM. With a fibreglass connection at home this takes a couple of minutes.
Thanks! The cow emissions thing has had me confused for a while.

I looked into it a bit further, and it seems cows produce more methane on grass, which is not good. I don't know if those seaweed proposals work on a grass based diet, or if they're only for cows largely fed grain.
Wow, so it's not just me! I'll ask around Mozilla and see if anyone knows why Twitter does this.
Every creation in our existing "observation" (aka simulation) obeys to "main principle of life" - wave expansion and compression. Everything in the world from human traffic to internet traffic has same origins of wave principles.

It means, that all created instruments for life from "the moment of birth" fated to become rulers of its creators. If only critical mass of their popularity reaches "event horizon of birth". Then they become a part of global ecosystem.

We should not be afraid of digital world and our depending from IT(it). We need to find way to mix all forces, deeply understand "main principle of life" and create brand new dimension of World "observation" (aka simulation).

Or...

Starting analog revolution, humanity will simply launch opposite movement of mirrored wave, which after some time becomes ruler of those who launched it. Control aspects of human life the same way as digital world doing right now.

From Nature to Digital from Digital to Nature. In the end it doesn't really matter, cause "hidden hand" will not disappear and human being will start thinking opposite way, writing new essay about need of technological revolution.

It sounds familiar and rather funny, is not it?

Angular is notorious for breaking compatibility. They're constantly redesigning and breaking the API of random components.

The best parts about Angular are; the dependency injection system and the opinionated component templates.
If we cut carbon out of everything else, the price of oil will drop, and aviation will be able to greatly expand.

Air travel is low now only because it's expensive. People world gladly take many, many more flights if they were cheaper.

Of course if we taxed carbon this problem would go away, and taxing international flights would probably be easier than a general carbon tax, if flights were all that was left.
That's your homework!
> Now, I've barely tested Django, but I would not go the python way unless you have a good (other) reason. Rails seems to have a much more developed web development community.

Having used both Django and Rails extensively recently, I disagree. Maybe 5 years ago, yes.

For two examples I ran into yesterday, check out https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/32790 and
https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/31419

which feature Rails Core simply taking a dump on widely requested features that some people need for more modern architectures. And a popular note from the second issue:

> Django has had a mechanism like this for years, and it's a delight to work with — it feels like the right balance of indirection and simplicity.
> they are playing this cruel game with other people's money.

This meme about taxes needs to die.
I just sent this article to my psychiatrist, whose practice includes medical students. His response:
"Yep. I believe it, mostly. Would estimate 50-66% but medical boards suppress self-reporting."
I think the medical field will be one that benefits most from AI. Routine surgeries will be able to be done by medical robots like those being developed at Cal Berkeley with human supervision if something unexpected comes up

This will shift the supply and demand equation and lower medical costs and make life easier for doctors

You need at least document the duplications when you see it (especially in big code base). Because the rules of three easily become the rule of 87, if you are not aware of the 86 other "second version" that have been written by people that were knowing only one of the duplicated versions.
They're both effectively performance-enhancing drugs, and I'm not sure I'm totally against this. Anti-depressants boost your stress tolerance and stimulants enhance your focus and productivity. Unless it's been shown that usage of these damages people permanently in the long term, the net outcome is a more effective medical industry.

A refresh usually helps, and this "feature" isn't exclusive to Firefox.

For some reason, it is exclusive to the links opened from another apps and doesn't appear when accessing a link directly (via a refresh). That might narrow down your search a bit.
I recently watched the film GATTACA. I was shocked by how appropriate it was for our time.

In the film, discrimination by genetics is, strictly speaking, against the law, but a matter of course because of how easy it is to get a sample and sequence someone. Humans are judged based on what's in their genes, not who they are.

The synthetic, designed humans are classified as "valid", while those born naturally are "invalids" or "de-gene-erates".

It would be quite easy for people of all walks of life to become second-class citizens due to information in their genomes if things do not change quickly.
How dare we run an operating system of our own choosing, or expect control over our own hardware. Why can't we just submit to using a sensible proprietary operating system on our most personal devices?

DRM hurts honest consumers and doesn't prevent piracy — at all. So why are we being pushed to accept this level of outside control over our computing devices?

> Systemic approaches are important, but we need to consider that the system of cancer goes far beyond the biochemistry of cancer cells. Cancer relates to our fundamental constitution as multicellular organisms, our limited lifespan, the epidemiology of the aging population, socioeconomics and the future of society. Those who believe that the problem of cancer can be solved by killing or reprogramming cancer cells need to take a step back from the molecular technicalities and take a look at the bigger picture

He knows that this approach won't work before it has been attempted? I'll listen to criticism when it is followed by a suggestion for a better approach. And vacuous statements like "step back and look a the bigger picture" don't count.

Honk + Thumbs Down at any driver you see tossing one out the window. Public shaming (not anger like a middle finger) can be very effective.

What functionality are you referring to? The only one I can think of is photo editing. It’s not that difficult to make a photo editor in the browser. The only problem is performance. It would’ve been harder when Instagram was originally launched.
If you edited your original post to add carbon tax, it would probably read a lot clearer. (I upvoted it, I agree)

How would you solve the trade component though? Because carbon production would just shift elsewhere unless:

* there was an international treaty where states each agreed to raise carbon taxes and cut other taxes or do a dividend, or

* import tariffs were levied in proportion to the carbon used in imports from countries that didn't have a similar tax

The latter would demand a large bureaucracy and have a lot of distortions.

I realized recently that a carbon tax isn't like an income tax. An income tax only occurs on profits, whereas a carbon tax is an input tax. This makes the jurisdiction shifting problem more acute.

A carbon tax is still my preferred solution, but was wondering if you had any ideas on how to get around this.
Until there is a multi-decade study on the long term effects of this in combination with a stressful job with long hours I would advice to be cautionary. I would really like to know the heart attack rate in those people over 40 compared to non-users.
Faraday Future Inc. restructuring agreement
Here’s a simple demo of the difference: https://temp.chrismorgan.info/does-antialiasing-matter.svg

If the contrast is high enough (such as black on white), then I find the difference very clearly visible on my 2× Surface Book display, and subtle but definitely present at lower contrasts. You’ve got to get a lot higher than what’s available on the mass market now before you’ll want to drop antialiasing altogether.

What macOS may have dropped is subpixel rendering—trebling probably-horizontal antialiasing precision by knowing the physical layout of subpixels. They won’t have dropped all antialiasing for font rendering, because that would be very visible.

(Note: Firefox seems to be ruining the feColorMatrix, utterly misinterpreting alpha values above 1. This makes the greys disappear to white. And once I turn WebRender on, the second column doesn’t appear at all! I’d check for bug reports on Bugzilla and file one if I didn’t find one, but I should be in bed.)
There's a strong social stigma against. Look at how law enforcement handles it.

The answer to "which platform is best" is going to depend greatly on what you want to do.

I'm a former investment banker and the platform I use to find side work is Catalant; most of it ends up being diligence projects for PE firms. If you're a former strategy consultant or finance person, Catalant is the best platform I've found.

Toptal is probably the best marketplace for coding talent; I've used it to source engineers for projects I couldn't do myself and have been routinely impressed. Lots of really, really sharp people from Russia, Eastern Europe, South Asia, and the Middle East are on there. Probably more of a buyer's market, in that the quantity and quality of the code you get for $60/hour-ish is really really good (or has been for me at least).

You mentioned a portfolio, so if you're a designer, maybe Fiverr would work.

Good luck!

Well, start with the play docs [1]; from there, yeah, you have to hunt around. Play's more of a framework for building frameworks than an out-of-the-box batteries included web framework like Rails, Django, etc. It provides the building blocks to create anything, the rest is up to you.

When I was learning Play I found digging through the sources to be immensely useful, not only for learning the framework itself, but for learning Scala as well.

>> Simple applications (e.g. applying basic machine learning tools to common workflows and processes) are prone to undergo commoditization precisely because they are obvious

Yes, Simple ML will be a commodity. Like Arduino, Ruby-on-Rails, WordPress, etc.

But in the right hands, having such tools years before the competition, could be a great thing, one that could lead to real competitive advantages.

For example, in Israel ~15% think about starting a business. That's not that far from the whole population.

So if you offered them the right education, and they played with the tools, maybe it would lead to new businesses.

And in the end, it's impossible to tell who will come with that great idea.
