The front-end dev chart is only mislabeled, that's the amount of knowledge one needs to become a senior front-end dev.

I'm in my seventh year of this career, and recently obtained a senior front-end role. I've worked my way through the front-end chart and it's not wrong. To write really solid web applications that work for you, other devs, users and users of limited ability, you should know all that stuff. Only lately have I gotten my skills up to the point where I can write high quality JS, CSS, HTML, and test it fully, automation test it, organize my CSS effectively, make sure it's accessible and make sure I am at least aware of possible security issues. It's a lot of work that requires a lot of knowledge that takes years to develop, but it's not wrong.
Whoa there.

I never said Asians in general or Asia as a whole weren't creative. That was not even remotely stated, implied, or even in my thoughts when writing that comment.

What I said was that the strength of the American system, for decades, was that it seemed to foster and encourage creativity - and that is being destroyed by the pursuit of standardized objectives.

I didn't say a thing about the other systems' creativity or the students' ability to be creative.

I made a comparison of the levels of stress experienced in the two.

Korean students have ENORMOUS pressure placed on them was my experience. And in the US we pulled THAT experience from their system. We seemed to have taken all of the bad with none of the good.

Relax.
My point is that there have already been a lot of results showing liquid biopsy misses a lot of the cancers in high risk populations. At this point theoretical estimates seem inferior as evidence than what we know so far from actually measuring.

At some point in the future we may understand more about what markers to look for in the blood and this may change but as of yet there are no "promising" results. Maybe I'm nitpicking but the concept of liquid biopsy is exciting and I hope it's something that humanity figures out how to do!

Funny, I was thinking sociopaths. Most sociopaths aren't criminals, but wouldn't be affected by the material.
For statutory crimes, this is how it works for people.

"We don't care the reason or mitigating circumstances you have, or even if you did it. You have the $thing , so you're at fault."

(The -1's, this is how statutory crimes work. I'm stating a fact, not making ethical determinations about it. I personally think that mens rea absolutely needs to be incorporated at a minimum.)
When I was looking at which professional direction to take, I started looking at government jobs (mostly law enforcement) and spoke with some industry people. My take was: Get prepared to look at a LOT of ugly stuff. Also heard horror stories that just thinking about it, makes me want to puke and punch somebody at the same time.
"British left waffles on Falklands" is a moderately famous, ambiguous, historical newspaper headline from the UK [0]

If you have absolutely no context and know nothing about politics or human society, you'll probably take it to mean that the British went to the Falkland islands and then when they left the left behind some waffles.

In actuality it meant that someone was waffling on a decision to be made regarding the Falklands ("waffling" means being indecisive) and that someone was "the British Left" (the liberal faction of parliament).

I too have 3 in elementary, and offer similar advice, adding:

Don't look to me to tell you what you should do; the hottest vocations of my generation will likely not even exist for yours (example: petroleum engineer). Look externally, experiment, measure, iterate. (essentially your first point)

* Make lots of mistakes, because mistakes mean you're trying new things, but with 2 caveats:

1/ try not to make any fatal mistakes

2/ don't repeat the same mistakes

* You have the resources of multiple generations of lucky & hard-working people at your disposal; don't waste them but make sure you use them (meaning educated families, diverse experiences and money)

* Your overall goal is to do your best to leave the environment you were born into better-off than it was when you started, meaning you've worked to improve the position of your family, community and the broader world.
How to be more productive developing Kubernetes Helm charts
Eh, I don't know about privacy concerns being minimal at the places where ring devices are installed.

The ring doorbell is installed at your front door. It records pretty much all movement to and from your house. It records audio at the doorstep, so if you're having a conversation with anyone at your doorstep, that gets recorded too. If you have a porch and are sitting on it and speaking with people, etc etc etc.
Your brain probably just got really good at adapting because it needed to, there was no choice really. So I wouldn't feel to to bad about it that it ended up that way. It was just a natural consequence of your environment. If your environment is different now you might have to develop new habits and mechanisms for dealing with the anxiety.

Now maybe the answer that problem is not just exercise but mentally stimulating/challenging exercise that will rewire your brain(dancing, martial arts, music, yoga). But it's possible that the rewiring process will have to be stronger than that the original wiring that causes anxiety. So it might be a huge time and emotional investment, but if your serious it might be possible, especially since the stressors no longer exist in your environment.

People on HN talk a lot about going into different states of mind and that seems to be very effective and switching your conscious process to a completely different one[1].

> Anyone who can connect a device to their wireless network, run a program, and forward a port can get equivalent functionality

I am very capable of all of those things and I don't agree.

To install a camera on my porch somewhere, I'd need first to run power to it, which is a difficult proposition that would probably mean I need to hire an electrician to do it right, as I'm not confident at all in my ability to properly do electrical wiring in places where it needs to be properly weatherproofed. And adding electrical to a near-as-makes-no-difference 80 year old house would look pretty hideous. Then, need to set up a server with redundant spinny storage and offsite backup, which, while not being terribly expensive these days, isn't particularly cheap either. And I don't even know how to begin approaching the mobile app notification issue. Doable, I'm sure, but does Blue Iris have notifications and remote access for viewing built in?

Or, alternatively, I paid $160 for a Ring doorbell and installed it in place of my existing doorbell in an hour or so.

I wish I had more control over it, and I _really_ wish they had an open public API. But at the same time, from a time/money investment point of view, getting the Ring was an obvious move.
I'm not surprised. I remember reading an article a long time ago about how porn was easier to find with Bing than Google, because the latter was doing a lot more censoring.

...and in general, I've found Bing to be more useful for searching obscure things. There's more spam in the results, but at the same time you're more likely to find what you're looking for amongst them.

But unfortunately with articles like this, it seems that might change... as much as I'm against CP and abuse in general, I'm also against censorship and the degradation of search engine results to only the most mainstream/popular topics.

If I was using Unity, I would be immediately looking at other alternatives. This kind of thing just screams shady business that doesn't care about their customers in the least.
I’m not sure I understand what is going on. It appears that major companies were taking pieces of the unity editor and incorporating them into their own server logic. Most commercial software licenses say you cannot disassemble or arbitrarily reincorporate parts of the software as you see fit. But is that what was happening here?
Definitely. I have had i3 on every computer I use for a couple of years now and I don't think I will ever go back to a conventional window manager.

No matter the thing I'm doing, every useful or efficient placing of windows is always no more than one or two keystrokes away.

When I graduated in 2012, teachers were telling us that we should be getting an hour per night, per subject, of homework.

However, each teacher inevitably believes their class to be the most important and thus gives you more.
But that's the thing about nuclear annihilation. Nothing can protect you from it. All your leaders can promise is that the entire planet will be unlivable, and not just our side of it. Cold comfort for a cold war. Different apocalypse than climate change, but just as bad.

Opposite ask:

What would your state of the art be for starting something new with Rails? / suggestions to become quickly productive
Yes. Any language in which you can be productive is worth investing time in.

And since this question is stemming from something bigger: Please don't listen to the development community when it comes to things like "which language should I or shouldn't I learn", because the development community is full of zealots with huge egos that know very little about software outside of their own bubble.
Men are punished more often and more severely than women who commit the same crimes. Girls who bully boys are less likely to be punished (and less likely to appear in the statistics) . Likewise for domestic violence, sexual assault, statutory rape, etc.

You can't ignore the contribution of societal bias against men and masculinity to the outcomes you describe.

Small biases early in life give boys a bad reputation, restrict their options, and create anger, leading to more severe criminal activity later, while women and girls are more often forgiven and able to continue their lives.
Cloud shell allows Google to see what I type on the shell machine. So if I ssh from there into the target, nothing is gained and it's MITMable by Google. The only difference is that it's less likely to happen.
Performance is a feature. If you want your game to have as large a playerbase as possible, it needs to perform well even on bad hardware.

I strongly suspect that most people will write their entire game in an engines default language. Especially in this case where the much advertised best alternative (C#) gives you a warning on startup about not being production ready.

Yes, C# is probably integrated due to its success in Unity, but it's a sane choice. I would argue more so than GDScript. C# has better performance, tooling, support, not to mention an existing userbase of people who already know (and I'm sure many of whom like) the language.

Ignoring C#, they cannot be breaking their API for writing native code. I'm not sure if it was a one time thing, or if it will continue going into future releases, but they absolutely need to have stability if they want people to use their engine long term.

You're incorrect. Regardless of their reason, it does not derail an argument for you to provide sources. It bolsters your case.

Refusing to provide citations makes it seem like you have something to hide, regardless of the others' intention.
> Venezuela was doing "alright" (relatively of course, their economy was too dependent on oil)

That bit about oil is a pretty significant caveat. Economists have spent many decades studying concepts like the "resource curse" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_curse) -- the way that countries whose prosperity is disproportionately driven by the sale of natural resources (like, say, oil) tend to end up mired in poverty and autocracy -- and "Dutch disease" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_disease) -- the way that a booming resource-extraction sector tends to crowd out development of other economic sectors, like manufacturing and services. The Venezuelan economy under Chávez was virtually a case study on these ideas, as he rebuilt the entire economy on top of an upward surge in oil prices. When those prices collapsed, the whole system came down with it.

I think a KDE-based system could do it with modest effort. There's a flag deep in QT somewhere, enabled on Mac builds, that makes all the ‘Ctrl’ shortcuts default to ‘Command’ instead, and it would go a long way if that were a user-selectable option.
My mother taught me to be autodidact. She would never answer my questions and instead told me to go get an encyclopedia (It was the 70's) and find out myself. When I spouted ignorance she would correct me.

Now she's widowed. As my father declined with Alzheimer's he tuned into FOX news all day long. Oddly, he became less racist despite this because my wife is black. The more he fell in love with her as his daughter, the better person he became.

My mom still watches FOX news all day long. I know this because my son is living with her right now to help her out and he tells me outrageous stuff she does with her ideas and money. She's a devout Republican now. She hated the Obamas but could never tell me why. She loves Trump, but again she can't tell me why other than she "Likes the way he talks."

Any evidence of truth given to her elicits an "OK" and then she walks away. I have no idea how she went from "always look up the answer for yourself" to believing anything that fits her current worldview as shaped by the television she watches.
Not really.

systemd replaces several components you would typically find as core components (multiple packages) which everything in a distro is built and depend upon, init-scripts being no exception.

Or at least it does if you present the criticism that systemd is too big.

Make up your mind: either systemd is not such a big monolith or it does in fact make sense to compare it to a minimal Linux distro.

You can’t have it both ways.

The effectiveness of patents, even in the past, is not clear. If you look at what happened to the steam engine, it wasn't until the patents expired that it really took off.

Patents aren't about morally owning property -- they're about their effectiveness. The case of patents needs to be made for their continuation.

Intellectual property is a misnomer, it's not property -- it's restrictions on what others can do with their own property.

I write service files pretty regularly. If you're a sysadmin, developer or an enthusiast on Linux. you definitely interact with the init system.

If you're a regular Android app developer however, you normally don't do that.
Hmm, mini-HDMI and a bluetooth mouse/keyboard seem pretty fool prove. If I'd get a decent desktop on a large screen, this could be my next laptop. (I don't really do anything on it I couldn't already do an raspberry pi anyway.)
The tool for this that everyone I know uses is Magic Wormhole. Wormhole has a more straightforward security model and is more thoughtfully designed: it uses a PAKE and relies on out-of-band secret sharing, rather than attempting a registry of "verified" public keys.

You should probably just use Wormhole.

For a brief time during the Yeltsin years where citizens could elect their own state governors, and not have one appointed by the Kremlin.
"Also, they bombed Japan because they could - and they bombed it twice because they had two different designs and wanted to compare them."

They bombed it twice because they had two bombs. If they only wanted to "compare them", they could've dropped them in Nevada like they did previously and subsequently.

And they bombed Japan because they needed to, or at least felt like they needed to given the circumstances of defending themselves against an imperialist threat to all of the Pacific - including, by the way, China.
Chasing users feels like a complete waste of time. Taking down the sources (e.g. on the darkweb) and physically recovering the kids involved is surely a better use of their time, right? Ideally they'd do both, but finite resources...
The "why" is apparently "so we can capture that revenue stream". They just launched an alpha of a competing service (autoscaling dedicated servers, on Google's cloud) and apparently want to nix the competition.

You misunderstand the problem. Here's how to reproduce.

1. Navigate to bing.

2. Turn off safe search.

3. Search images for keyword "sex"

4. Click on the second image.

At the top of the image detail page, there will be suggested search terms. One of them is "baby sex fetish"

https://i.imgur.com/ReIrw8u.png (picture of suggestions - SFW)

Just searching for "sex" with safe search turned off results in child pornography search suggestions. You don't have to be looking for illegal content for this to surface.

What book is that?
I referred to the privacy/security "tradeoff", not an absence of privacy concerns. But for similar reasons, I'm unlikely to have an especially sensitive conversation at my doorstep anyways: my neighbors will be able to hear it. Obviously, they can also see who's coming and going at my house, as could anyone else who cared to watch.

Meanwhile, the devices have been super valuable for spotting and reporting criminal attempts.
Microsoft is, as the article points out, a multi-billion dollar company. Though they clearly have not invested enough effort into preventing this, they've almost certainly invested a great deal of effort. And it was still ineffective.

What does this mean for smaller companies that make products which index the open web? Put another way, does this stuff show up on Duck Duck Go?
This is just really bad writing:

Even if treating this not as a roadmap to becoming a web developer, but more as a map of what an expert-level web developer might be familiar with, it's still scary.

Why does modern web development have to be so convoluted? Here is a wishlist of what I want from ONE language:

- A package manager like nix so that each project folder doesn't have to be hundreds of megabytes

- Static typing with minimally expressive (i.e. ADTs) type system, type inference

- Built in immutable data by default, so you don't have to pile on 3 different immutable data libraries

- A better alternative to HTML+CSS like Elm UI [0]

- One very high quality backend framework (exactly like Phoenix)

- One very high quality frontend framework like Elm but with better component reusability, that makes fewer allocations, and that compiles to efficient WASM

The benefits of a "one language to rule them all approach" should be extremely obvious to JavaScript developers who are following this approach with Node.js, React, etc. This huge mess of tools that they use now is a hairball of workarounds for JavaScript's many deficiencies. We essentially just need a better JavaScript.

Hmm, gp poster did say "but our creativity was our strength" which I interpreted as "we comforted ourselves with the belief that our creativity was our strength and that we were superior in that regard"

I hope nobody actually believes one group of people is inherently more creative than any other. But it is true that east and south asian schooling systems are typically value memorization over creativity. You can see how that can happen too: huge, high stake exam systems are easier to implement in that fashion, in which case the educational system will adapt to match. In that regard I share the gp poster's concern that this approach appears to be increasingly dominant in the US (as it has been in earlier eras in the US btw).

My mother is a product of such a system and she very much watched her kids' grades like a hawk, valuing just the numerical result. But she was able to enrol her kids in a more "creative" program than she had had access to herself.
That's just silly. One can have valid criticisms yet not know how to apply them. If I find a car's human interface intuitive, would you expect me to know how to manufacture a car's dashboard?
If it would allow you to hack, manipulate, contribute, to projects you like, or if you have some simple or interesting tools you want to try. After the third language the fourth is 40% figured out In an hour or so.
I think of it more as appetite for risk than creativity. The US system encourages and rewards taking risks more so than others. Failure is forgiven and sometimes even celebrated. I worked in Japan and found its famously risk-averse culture way more intense than Western descriptions make it out to be (and those descriptions are not kind to begin with.) This component of their culture absolutely acts as a headwind to entrepreneurship. On the other hand, some of the most dynamic risk-takers I've met recently are young Chinese kids from Beijing and Shanghai who grew up in very traditional formal educational pathways.
My point is that the family name will be preferentially handed down the more affluent "blood lines".
