Could bootstrapping one or more YouTube channels starring trafficking victims be profitable enough to attract organized crime? Could someone who knows a bit about YouTube channel growth & revenue streams crunch some numbers to post here?

I assume that "bikini girl" prepended to any video title attract more views than videos of me. "old, chubby bald dude fishing in real life" doesn't seem like a great clickbait title. If there's enough money to be made in "slice of life" videos, I guess it could attract the attention of human traffickers.
I find that to be true about almost all of the loudest "influencers."
Pinning dependencies is easy, and gets one stuck on Java 1.3 and IE 6. Since the library maintainer doesn't know it broke dependent code, the dependent code will be unlikely to have a smooth upgrade path. It's just a matter of having the luxury of picking up a time to pay the cost of dependency upgrades. Which cost may be high in a world where your dependencies also pin dependencies, likely at different versions.

The underlying assumption it that the project will fold in 2 years anyways, so one may get away with never doing dependency upgrade.

Can we have one opinion article that doesn't devolve into some form of identity politics? Can't we talk about full stack development without it somehow being that men are sexist against CSS?
Yes, I have clearly given strong reasons for an organization to avoid monorepos. Gainsaying that without supporting comments doesn’t achieve anything.
I’ve been working on collecting a list of interviews that answer exactly this question.

The proper response to that is to actively document these edge cases (within the original code) so that they don't get missed as the code is maintained in the future.
The dose makes the poision in everything - it is just a statement that it isn't perfectly safe and nothing is. Oxygen can cause cancer. The point was that if even a far more specialized species could have problems with proteins there is a mechanism for damage from too much - what that ammount may be is another question. Just like too much carbohydrates can overwhelm the pancreas too much protein may overwhelm the kidneys and liver.

I had done extensive feline research recently for a fiction side project and will give my links - I had one that described the metabolic process specifically.
It's not abouse taste, its about youthful ignorance and trust/gullibility and child-abusing predators who prey on them, and their caregivers (parents but also governments) that fail to educate and protect them.

What do you mean by the last paragraph? foldl in Haskell is just

foldl _ acc [] = acc
foldl f acc (x:xs) = foldl f (f acc x) xs

And in Python something like

def foldl(f, acc, l):
for x in l:
acc = f(acc, x)
return acc

Which doesn't seem much harder to read or write than any other version, to me (it's all just syntax around the same algorithm).
And? Some laws are stupid and must be broken.
Pretty cool! @jamportz you should look into rendering the static separatrices along with the advected points/streamlines. It’s both fun to do and really increases the usefulness of the imagery to have some visual analysis.

Religion has nothing to do with the higher power step. That's just meant to assert that there are things beyond one's control, even if your chosen higher power is just your conscience. In fact, 12 step programs are completely agnostic on their own (there are some who try to make it about a religious deity, but that's rare).

What you're saying is fine, if the cost of the course doesn't financially cripple the student for 25 years, which is what is mostly happening.
Once upon a time, there was a core software engineering principle of "egoless programming". I'm glad we've thrown that piece of idiocy out the window.
But even something like a CS101 assignment takes longer to read than to write, at least for me. This is a common enough starement that I assume I'm not alone.

In fact, I'll often sketch out a block diagram or some pseudocode if I'm having trouble grokking something I'm reading just to help me get into the proper mindset. I agree this is a problem with the current state of the field, but I haven't seen any good solutions, only hacks and workarounds.
FWIW, there is [used to be?] a git interface for the centralized monorepo. Really handy for managing multiple dev braches at the same time.
Versions were different back then, and programs simpler. People didn't always throw a giant binary over the wall at regular intervals and say "stuff's changed, new major version."
My wording must have been awful...because that's exactly what I was trying to say.

The big companies that predate git and such used monorepos because that was the norm at the time, and it was easier to do with the tools at the time, and as they scaled, they just scaled their process instead of changing everything. But several large tech companies, especially newer ones, do the multi repo approach.
From your short message, it seems our experience with alcohol is similar. I've been struggling with my level of alcohol consumption, about 7-8 months ago I read an article on the Atlantic[1] that detailed the effectiveness of naltrexone.

The more accurate data captures are, the more accurate models of the data can become. Also, for things like pure arbitrage (which virtually doesn't exist anymore due to the efficiency of markets with computers trading), those trades are Taladega Nights style "you're first or you're last" winner take all.

TmarTn had a crazy good lawyer on that case. The defense was

2) It was public knowledge that the owners of the corporation were TmarTn and Syndicate.

Really? That seems surprising and bad. Many people might want to have separate work and personal accounts.
It seems like an odd comparison though. Considering that TLC is exercising a very, very coarse model and a fuzzer is usually exercising a real interface/implementation. The former is dealing with an idealized simplification and the latter is dealing with a shape of real domain coverage when searching for counter-examples.

Making even moderately complex TLA+ models or minor iterations on a simple model's depth of representation often results in exploding the search space for TLC and consequently the time to perform checking.

Both classes of tools are useful, but the comparison seemed odd since you wouldn't use TLA+ like a fuzzer, nor vice versa.
For most people, the catch is that you can't pass the interview loop.

At the risk of getting political, those regulations around child care providers were put in place due to rampant child abuse by care providers. No one just sat down one day and said "you know what we need, some overbearing regulations for no reason". Children were dying at the hands of their care givers. The regulations only seem unnecessary because they're working. Now that children aren't being beaten to death by their care givers quite as often, people now have the luxury of asking why there are so many regulations.

Cameras have blind spots, can be turned off, and if you really want to monitor them, as a parent you have to be able to watch the camera all day to ensure nothing bad is happening while your back is turned. Hardly an ideal situation for a working parent.
The business of eating bugs – Inside an edible insect factory
The hardest part during the transition is to give up doing what you love and excel at (coding) and instead doing something foreign and way more nebulous. But every time you feel that urge to go back to writing code, you need to remind yourself that as a manager, your primary goal is to have a multiplicative effect in the organization, and that starts with not only improving your team’s productivity, but coaching each and every member on your team to have great judgement and make the right decisions that balances the technical and business needs. And to have your team make the right decisions, you as the manager need to equip them with as much business context as possible and empower them to run as fast as they can.

I highly recommend reading High Output Management by Andy Grove. It’s written decades ago for the chip business, but it’s personally one of the most impactful books and really cemented for me the ideas I’ve laid out above.

I wish you luck! It’s not an easy process, but with work it can be incredibly rewarding to see people succeed and grow under your watch.

>All I see when I view it are advertisements pretending to be personal videos.

I can't stand videos like that. Especially if you have to sit through 2-3 minutes of intro bullshit before finding out it's all an advertisement for some product.

The ones I don't mind, that I've been seeing a lot more lately, are the ones that simply have an actual ad in them done by the video creator. They're usually pretty bad and sometimes you can tell they're not usually too happy about the product they're advertising but it still feels more honest to watch. You know it's an ad there's no pretending and i've seen a few videos where the creators actually put some effort in and did a pretty good job with the product placement part of their video.
>I'm not saying anything for or against your position by the way. Just "studies show" doesn't cut it any more.

Studies show never "cut it" depending on what your definition of cut it is. I just assume that anyone that cares to look further into it can Google it if they want to.

If it's a particularly contraversial, or unbelievable study I tend to take the time to link to it.

But time a child spends interacting with adults correlates positively with intelligence, is very widely accepted/supported, so a Google search should be easy.

> because they always tend to have a giant complicated built tooling setup in place

I know people must have their own setups that they use in GitHub somewhere. I have some, but I don't do lots of web dev and they're a bit shit.

Does anyone have any "default toolchains" in GitHub that they use to start new projects? Including SASS, webpack, common polyfills, etc.?
You could just ignore the JS churn and stick with enough jQuery to be useful. Most SPA apps don't need to be SPA. Backends don't need to be micro services.
> Colleges should be about learning.

I’m inclined to agree. The way to make that happen is to figure out some superior proxy for the characteristics employers are looking for (intelligence, diligence, willingness to conform, etc.) than university degrees. When the signaling value of a degree is no longer necessary, colleges will be truly optional and so for and about learning.

However, it should be noted the implications are fairly radical. A college system for and about learning about is going to be much much smaller than the status quo. Which in turn means either much less research output or some other method of funding research has to be found.
Lots of small issues, some of which may have changed since I last checked. I haven't looked at Pyre/Pytype yet. These are just a handful of issues with mypy that spring to mind:

* Poor syntax support in the language. E.g., you have to define TypeVars as variables in a scope outside of the unit you want to use them in, potentially conflicting with other generic functions. No clear guidance from the documentation about how the type system interprets these, either.

* No recursive types; e.g., can't define a JSON type

* Some callables can't be typed. I'm thinking they're those with kwargs and/or args, but I forget the particulars.

* Unions aren't true ADTs; the only way to define single-value variants (e.g., "null" in a JSON type) is to do something verbose and hokey, like creating a type that can only have one value.

* Lots of common libraries can't be spec'ed and therefore can't be typechecked. Things like SQLAlchemy which generate their types/classes at runtime, for example.

* Generally, the implementation is buggy even for mundane cases
Some people treat it like a university, others like a vocational school. Have stats for both.

Just be careful with stats. They are easily gamed.
Full-stack is what you get when you can't afford to have team members specialize. Of course you won't get the same quality with one guy doing the work of three. Or with three guys with exactly the same skill set rather than three specialists with overlapping specialties. I don't know why people seem to think this is even worth mentioning.

But we really shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. If you look at the stratification of specialization other fields have you wouldn't wish it on yourselves. 500 mid-sized arenas compete for the attention of 5 highly-skilled sound engineering specialists and the 50 other guys knocking at the door can't get jobs. If one of those guys makes a career-ending mistake, his career is well and truly over, no arena is hiring him again.

Great for the 1%, horrible for the 99%. The fungibility of software talents works as much in our favor as it does for businesses. I personally don't mind working across the entire web stack, but ask me to switch frameworks and you'll be looking for someone else soon.
Nobody prohibits a privatised HDB flat tenant from subletting it.

It's a big stretch to say that every expat lives in a landed property.

My first place in Sing was a room that I shared with 3 Indian labourers, and no aircon.

Then, when I moved to a more upscale place thanks to hefty sales commissions, I think everybody was bedazzled "how such a pipsqueak can rent a place for $1800 by himself." Only then, I realised that only top few percents of Singaporeans can afford to live in non-HDB condominiums.
I honestly don't believe flat organizations exist. They claim to be but there is always an informal heirachy. Which is trickier to navigate then just having a bit of structure. No need to go overboard but at least formalize what exists but unsaid.
Sure, it's obvious madness, and it's hard to believe that anyone who says it (or quotes it approvingly) could really believe it. But that's basically what I expect out of any feminist commentary on any topic. The entire space is littered with claims like this - ones so patently false or morally outrageous that one thinks that surely, surely, the author doesn't really believe what they're saying. Stuff like that there exist no innate biological differences in ability between the genders, or that pro-lifers are motivated by a desire to exert control of women's bodies, or that being falsely accused of rape is less likely than being struck by lightning, or that Otto Warmbier deserves no public sympathy for being tortured to disablement and death by North Korea because he was a beneficiary of white privilege.

I've long since given up hope of trying to parse the madness. I sincerely don't understand what motivates people to say these ridiculous things, and as a consequence I sincerely can't tell when somebody means what they say to be figurative and when they are expressing a genuinely-held (but mad) belief completely literally. Given the alarming frequency with which these sorts of claims in fact become accepted truths among feminists that get repeated over and over, I err on the side of assuming the latter.

Hayden used the word, and did so in a context where there was no obvious way to interpret it as hyperbole or metaphor. In the absence of any other possible interpretation, I'm going to assume that he means exactly what he said.
Sure, I can do all of those things.

But I have no competitive advantage doing them. Any time I spend driving the car (O($10)/hour job) is time I'm not spending developing software (O($100)/hour job).

The counter argument to that could be that if I don't enjoy some Dev/Ops task, I'm more likely to automate it away, so maybe it is good to have devs doing tasks they don't care for.

Yeah, that comment was really unfortunate. HTML & CSS is undervalued, but it has very little, if anything, to do with gender bias. It has a lot to do with the fact that a) it's really hard to write requirements for those things and b) the minimum bar for getting any results at all is a lot higher for programming, so that tends to get the most attention.

H3H3 is just as guilty of this. They were one of MANY channels advertising a scam "therapy" service called Better Help to viewers with mental health issues. While he did acknowledge it, it was only after being called out in a Pewdiepie video, and he seemed much more upset about getting caught than promoting such a scam of a service.
I don't particularly believe in full stack (a team with some specialists should be better than a team without any), but plenty of us have to be and maybe aren't as entirely terrible at it as is stereotyped in the article.

Though I also think the author fails to appreciate business trade-offs that are involved in some of what's complained about, particularly in environments that need to use full-stack developers. Perhaps it's not ideal, but doing perfect "beautiful" CSS/html is often not the thing with the greatest marginal benefit, particularly with time considerations involved. And the places that need this kind of developer don't feel that they need the quality of output that would come with larger, more specialized teams, or can't afford it.

(Though I also don't believe that anywhere with more than a half dozen or so developers is avoiding appropriate specializations.)
The biggest piece of advice I'd give is to focus on practicing leadership in your current role. Develop a reputation as the person who ensures that work gets done properly, leads out in process improvements for the team, and demonstrates good judgment. Once you've done that, it will be a no-brainer to give you more leadership and/or management opportunities. Note that none of these practices require that you get a promotion first nor that you be the strongest programmer in the room.

I went through a similar transition years ago and I've started working on writing up some of my advice here. It's still quite incomplete, but might give you some ideas: https://app.tettra.co/teams/rstudio/pages/technical-leadersh... In particular, I'd say the "Technical Team Lead" role is what I'd target as your next step.

Aside: if any of this advice resonates with you, we are hiring and I'd love to chat about helping you go through this transition with us.
5 public speaking resolutions for 2019
It's based on a significant number of people who are large Patreon account holders closing their accounts (Sam Harris is the first one to spring to mind, I believe he had the 13th largest account by monthly donation), and also a number of people saying their income via Patreon has decreased significantly as a result of patrons leaving the platform.

Plus there seems to be a lot of disquiet about Patreon and people trying to set up competition for them (SubscribeStar, Dave Rubin/Jordan Peterson's project) which seems to be gaining a lot more attention than it would have otherwise - up to this point many people (myself included) were completely happy with Patreon.
Rust is great for lots of reasons, but it's not remotely what I think of as Pythonic. Rust has a steep learning curve and requires a much deeper understanding of memory management than Python, and it's also not much smaller.
