Startups are often great learning opportunities

This isn’t really true. The experience you can only get at a startup is learning to work with VCs, the board, early strategic partners and so on. This will be dangled in front of you like a carrot but as a mere employee you will never get meaningful exposure here. Unfortunately, like “dilution”, this is something that founders hope you don’t know so they can exploit you.

> The one sketchy thing is the charger panel that just pops off (instead of being glued/welded), potentially exposing the user to high voltage.

That sounds pretty sketchy indeed. Isn't that terribly dangerous? Could a child pop it off? Does that meet legal safety requirements for this kind of product?
That uses the qml crate that has not been updated in 2 years. Quite unlikely to not work at all.

I've tried most QT Rust projects and none were all that usable. I'm afraid your plans are not likely to succeed.
The worst thing that stops me from even considering them is the absolutely attrocious and outdated infotainment and dashboard design. I drove a brand new Auris and Yaris recently and jesus, it felt like being in a car from 2004 - awful, slow touchscreens with animations straight from WindowsCE era, huge unnecessary buttons on the dash(why do you get the second/minute/hour buttons for setting the clock right on the top of the dash??? How many times in the lifetime of the vehicle are you going to use them? Why give them such a prominent place?). Even their most "futuristic" vehicles like the Prius feel extremely outdated inside.
So let me get this straight: your position is that an ageing population can only be solved by migration?
It's cheap for a reason. The books are riddled with errors, they offer no support at all aside from "here are books. test is on $DATE". There are forums but no instructors on them.

If you're already proficient at mathematics then it's good to get a diploma to state as much. But if you're looking to learn then it will be of little help.
> Regarding development: I'd appreciate if you elaborate over your critique.

There's nothing to elaborate, really. If you list all "status.tested" issues, how many are tested?

Let's take the top few as of today.

1. Malignant output from react/link, https://github.com/red/red/issues/3713

fix: https://github.com/red/red/commit/644be4b1e3bfcf70a5f9f5e006...

One-line fix, sure. Where's the test?

2. new-line flags are not cleared on subsequent calls, https://github.com/red/red/issues/3707

Fix: https://github.com/red/red/commit/b7ee2846b58a1328d57002b3ed...

Severl line-fix. Where's the test?

3. stack overflow on limited append/insert, https://github.com/red/red/issues/3705

The fix contains a single test even though the issue provided three different failure modes: https://github.com/red/red/commit/bd41d35ee5a73cd5779647b503...

And so on and so forth. I remember seeing a "status.tested" which added easily a hundred lines of new code with zero tests.

Funnily enough I see you've added a "test.written" label, which really shouldn't be there because that's what "status.tested" is for.

----

But forget issues and tests for the moment.

Out of 44 contributors to Red, only two have anything significant to contribute: the people who actually develop Red.

Of all the issues reported almost none contain code to fix the issue. Almost all issues are fixed by the same two people who develop Red.

Perhaps it's due to the fact that about zero percent of Red code is documented? Or that "Code written by experienced users (and Red codebase in particular) is a hard nut to crack"? Which is kinda ironic, considering how the authors and proponents gush about Red's simplicity.

Go back to the first issue in the list above. It's a one-line fix. So, surely, it could be fixed by someone else but the author of the language?

Too bad the file where the issue is fixed is this: https://github.com/red/red/blob/644be4b1e3bfcf70a5f9f5e0066f...

336 lines of no significant comments other than trivia for the author himself.

"New line flags not cleared" whose fix is just a few lines? Oh, it's in a 3000-line file with no comments, https://github.com/red/red/blob/b7ee2846b58a1328d57002b3ed2d...

And so on and so forth.

And since very very few of those lines are covered by any tests (even for issues reported and fixed), how is anyone except the two authors can ever fix those issues or contribute?

If "Code written by experienced users (and Red codebase in particular) is a hard nut to crack", how can you expect people to believe in it's "simplicity and fun"?

The reason capitalism in general fails - and markets implode with tiresome predictability - is because money tends to be taken out of companies and given to shareholders instead of being spent on R&D or growth.

Capitalism fundamentally doesn't distinguish between "growth" from zero-sum rent-seeking, which simply benefits one class by impoverishing another, and growth from innovation and invention, which - at best - creates entirely new markets.

Too many shareholders consider blue sky R&D with no specific return schedule an outrageously risky gamble and a misuse of money that should have been paid to them.
> One of the most striking differences between the Stones and the Beatles is that the Beatles split up after a mere seven years at the top, whereas the Stones are still going. One startup flashed brightly and burned out; the other established itself as a long-running corporation.

When it comes to fame the Beatles' model is the clear winner.
In 56 years the Rolling Stones performed more than two thousand concerts around the world[1]. They did so many concert tours that there exits a Wikipedia category[2] just for the tours.
Sure, the Rolling Stones are world famous, but what effort was required to become and stay that way. Compare that with the Beatles. They put in ten years of work to reach universal long lasting popularity - how efficient is that.

When it comes to fortune I'm not so sure. Comparing net worth of McCartney ($1.2 billion [3]) and Mick Jagger ($360 million [4]) it looks pretty clear too. But when we compare the overall wealth generated by the Beatles vs that of the Rolling Stones I'm not sure if that would be as clear cut. I don't have any number though and I think it's difficult to compare.

Admitting you regret having children is a social suicide, nobody will be open about it in public. Moreover, saying this is the best thing in your life is the only acceptable answer and anything less would make people look down on you with pity and casual disdain.

Still they exist, just look for them on parenting forums, reddit threads, facebook groups. But yes, a lot of them is about having chrildren too early
> You make the claim that a $1,000 donation might be more useful than many millions of $1,000 donations.

Nowhere did I make that claim.

No. You just can't read, apparently.
More likely just fan-boys that like competitions David vs Goliath. However, GitLab is the only project here that constantly receives such noticeable treatment. It is a good marketing team indeed!
There are now 4 phones consumers are supposed to be aware of. On top of the naming scheme being confusing, most people who asked me during the holidays think Xs is just a smaller version of the X.

Frankly X was just a dumb name.

Capitalism has only existed for about 300 years. And it's been shown to give rise to Fascism, destruction of the Planet, countless civilians dying everyday, countless homeless people while we have countless houses unoccupied.

Regular boom-and-bust that keep people poorer and lessen social spending. It's very good at allowing the 1% exploit us and feed you lies.

> There are very, very few counter-examples in narrow low-growth specialised markets, but the general rule has been shown to occur countless times across economies as small as communes to as big as a superpower.

Yet we have Mondragon Cooperatives in Spain.

> but far less than in planned economies (at least all of them so far)

What I am specifically talking about is Worker-owned-and-directed-enterprises [1]. Planned economies is just state capitalism (but even that, you see China? the fastest growth in the history of mankind?).

> and capitalism tends to be very efficient at recycling that wasted capital back into productive enterprises.

Are you serious? Very efficient?

Once you are financially secure, living in Germany makes no sense. Shitty weather, the insane apartment situation in any major city, shitty services(any company with Deutsche in front - Deutsche Bahn, Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Telekom, Deutsche Wohnen), the beurocratic burden in your day to day live - everything takes forever to get done here. Spain is not perfect, but oh my god is Germany overrated
It's an aqui-hire, i guess. Not great for Data Artisans customers. Alibaba are flexing their muscles. Google have their own data platform. We want to show we have our own too - they see it as competitive advantage. Alibaba are not an enterprise software company, like Data Artisans were.

How to Be a VC Without Any Capital
> Your conclusion ignores facts surrounding human psychology.

Which conclusion? You basically said I'm correct.
Absolutely true. As a doc, the US problem boils down to a cultural issue that can be summarized as:

"there is no reason my money should pay for the care of others, but if I personally need care, then it should be of the absolute best quality and should be provided until my last breath no matter what"

The people maintain the system themselves by insisting on that, and that is the root of every other problem. Before alleviating restrictions for med school, US people should think about pulling the plug on the legions of evidently terminal patients receiving maximal care that just prolongs their intense suffering every day around the country.

Why do you think your doc does every exam under the sun as soon as you step foot in the office?

1 - if solo, more money; if networked, makes you look better for the "employer" (insurance company/hospital/HMO, etc.)

2 - if you have too many exams, you will complain on the internet. If you have too few exams and something goes wrong, you will drag the doc into court.

Weigh the incentives and I think even the most conservative person should see a problem.
Yes because the crypto futures market is very well developed and is very liquid (for BTC) and exists for every tiny coin out there
How to debug Node.js in a Docker container
I don't follow this.

A new entrant to the network knows which is the valid chain because the chain the network uses defines "the network". Consider the case[1] of Ethereum Classic (ETC) versus Ethereum (ETH). They are exactly the same, except for the chain each group of miners follows. The ETC blockchain is a valid ETH blockchain and the ETH blockchain is a valid ETC blockchain, but miners adhere to one or the other for political reasons. As a new entrant to the ETC network, how do you know which blockchain to use? Well, you use the ETC blockchain, because that's the network you're entering.

[1] I'm describing my understanding of the ETH/ETC split. If they've diverged more than I was aware of, that doesn't affect the argument; just substitute other names for ETH and ETC.
GitHub's competitor is GitLab. The main argument in favor of GitLab is private repo with self hosted GitLab. That's a weak spot of GitHub that they addressed. Self hosting requires a server and competence. With this move they also undercut a revenue source of GitLab. Strategically, it's a brilliant move. From the user point of view it's also an excellent news.
As a separate comment.

Let's consider Elixir, for example.

Issue: EEx multiple callbacks with `-> %>…<% end` format, https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/issues/8590

Fix: https://github.com/LostKobrakai/elixir/commit/d33fdb57d457dd...

It describes what the code does in a comment, there are tests. The file itself contains comments crucial to understanding: https://github.com/LostKobrakai/elixir/blob/d33fdb57d457dd8b...

Compare this to any Red issue, fix, or any source file in the codebase
This is the killer feature of GitHub for me. When learning a new language, being able to sense-check your code against what someone has done in the past has helped me understand how and why some things work the way they do.
I wouldn't call us fanboys. I would call us devotees. Like firefox followers. We are not many, but we are devoted, and we will tell you about it, and the reasons we believe them to be superior to other products. :D
"#!/usr/bin/env bash" is the right way to do it, but "#!/bin/bash" is so common that I'd just symlink it there if it's not already present. Any reason why these OSes don't do it automatically?
Why? They cant even make a sport car anymore, last one was 100% Subaru, and the new one will be BMW.
Free gym memberships are unlikely to result in higher use. I've had multiple workplaces where gym is free and I've rarely used it, thankfully, I am blessed with a skinny physique and parents who inculcated good food habits. In fact, places which charged for gyms explicitly saw slightly higher usage since some folks logic went, since I am paying for it, I might as well get my money's worth.
so expensive :( Any affordable solutions somebody could recommend? <$5k maybe

> The drawback is that sources from the jumbo can not be compiled in parallel. So if one has access to extremely parallel compilation farm, like developers at Google, it will slow down things.

Generally the way this works is rather than compiling into one jumbo file, you combine into multiple files, and you can then compile them in parallel. UE4 supports it (disclosure, I work for them). and it works by including 20 files at a time, and compiling the larger files normally.

There is also a productivity slow down where a change to any of those files causes the all the other files to be recompiled, so you can remove those files from the individual file.

> The compilation time saving can be up to factor of 2 or more on a laptop.

The compilation time savings are orders of magnitude in my experience, even on a high end desktop. That's for a full build. For an incremental, there is a penalty (see above for workarounds)
> If rock groups are businesses, businesses are getting more like rock bands. Workplaces are far more informal than they used to be, with less emphasis on protocol, rank and authority. Many firms try to cultivate the creativity that can come from close collaboration. Employers attempt to engineer personal chemistry, hiring coaches to fine-tune team dynamics and sending staff on team-building exercises. Employees are encouraged to share lunch, play table tennis and generally hang out. As the founder of Hubble, a London office-space company, put it, “We hope that our team will become friends first, and colleagues second.”

The problem is, most of these companies are closer to formula driven Justin Bieber than the less pop-focused (say) Radiohead.

Both have their merits. However, talking the latter while walking the former (or vice versa) creates disconnect - for employees, as well as customers.

Ultimately, culture matters. It's a process. It must be cultivated and curated. It is __not__ a speech or memo from the top that intends to magically everyone with the snap of their fingers.

There's far more to "We're going to innovate..." and "We're going to be creative..." and "We're going to be customer focused..." than simple saying such things.

p.s. Heart and commitment matters. When you think of any great band you can hear their all-in-ness. Those who fake it, are far less likely to make it, and last.
If Google or MS give you options, or RSUs, or whatever, they are essentially cash. You'll be able to liquidate them at market price as soon as you vest. So in those companies stock options are a real form of compensation.

For startups whose stock has 0 actual value in a market, then yeah stock options are worth nothing.
If anyone is in London, one of these is also on display in the "Mathematics" Gallery at the Science Museum - along with some other very interesting devices.
In the US:

- allowing employees to buy their transit or parking passes with pre-tax wages. In some car-centric areas, some employers that don’t have their own parking lots will pay for their employees’ parking in commercial lots.

- tax-advantaged retirement accounts, often with partial employer matching of deposits

- community service days when everyone in the company volunteers together for a nonprofit organization (should be on what would otherwise be a workday, and paid)

- certain types of businesses (financial firms, high end law firms, etc) will offer their highest-paid employees concierge-type services to make it more practical to spend extended hours in the office. Examples might be handling the employee’s dry cleaning for them.

- free snacks and beverages are very common at tech companies/startups. Some also make alcoholic beverages available, with varying degrees of quantity and freedom as to when to consume.

- free coffee and tea in the office are very common but not universal

- I’ve seen some places where discounted gym memberships were available either through the health insurance provider or as a corporate perk.

- covering continuing education costs - whether that’s mandatory ongoing courses for licensing purposes or simply one course per year that the employee wants to take to advance their career

- perks that are arguably not perks (aka mandatory fun time): happy hours; company outings and office parties; catered lunch with “bonding time” strings attached once a week; etc

- shorter hours in the summer, still paid for full hours. This typically but not always takes the form of early closing on Fridays. It’s relatively rare but seems to be more common among companies that existed before about 1980.

- at companies with stricter dress codes, “casual fridays” allow employees to wear less formal outfits (at a suit and tie business, casual Friday dress code might be “business casual”; at a normally business casual office, casual Friday probably permits jeans and t-shirts, etc.)

- in the US, vacation time is considered a perk. Even in white collar jobs, as little as 10 days of paid leave per year (plus a handful of holidays) combined vacation and sick leave is common.

- parental or family leave (paid or unpaid) beyond the government-mandated minimum seems anecdotally to be becoming increasingly common.
> One notable exception to this rule was The Smiths. When Morrissey and Johnny Marr founded the band in 1982, they insisted on taking a bigger cut of income, from all sources, than the bassist, Andy Rourke, and the drummer, Mike Joyce

Has anyone ever found any redeeming personal qualities to Morrissey?
The microphones usually have visible coverings in the headliner. However if privacy is your concern, just disabling the celluar modem should be enough.

As for voiding any warranty, should a problem arrise, it's up to the manufacturer to prove that whatever you did caused damage. Just taking apart and reassembling a console correctly will not void your warranty. "Warranty Voided if removed/opened" labels are not legally-enforceable in the US.

Just look for Youtube videos on how to take it apart (or look for repair videos for other items in the console).
I feel that there is quite a buzz around Amsterdam being the new tech nexus. Not sure how you would measure its SV-rating though.

Why I don't like Kindle eBooks they are treated different than paper printed books, stitched up with DRM they are electronic but not allowed to cross borders or geographic areas. Try buying Kindle eBook and sending to another country as gift, first lets waste your time choosing eBook fill in your details plus recipients press send, rejected you may only send to person living in same country as you.
Plus the cost of eBooks for kindle being same price or more than paperbacks not talking about the info booklets and other fluff giving away.
Kindle has been around for a while and I don't see it improving for the customer.

The written tone used in the repo comes of as too drastic, specially as it only reports the collection of analytics on how LinkedIn users use the website.

Is the detection result reported back to LinkedIn?

In their [Privacy Policy](https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#your_device_an...) they do mention they collect information on "web browser and add-ons".

This reminds me of similar approaches used in other environments.
For example in the game industry, anti-cheat techniques of detecting the running software in mobile devices to flag users.

Computer programming languages were developed to overcome technical challenges when people had a very hard time writing pure 0s and 1s to code CPU instructions.

They knew what those instructions will do and they had 100% certainty about it.

This is not the case in biology, however. People still struggle to understand how proteins interact on a molecular level.

Few years ago I took part in a project that aimed to engineer a new, synthetic metabolic pathway in yeast.
A key enzyme in this pathway had to be introduced from an exotic bacteria. But no matter how much we tried, the enzyme worked very poorly (2 order of magnitude slower) when introduced to cerevisiae.

The problems we have in biology today aren't technical, they are still fundamental... Creating a programming language dedicated for wiring genetic circuits is nice, but won't be a game changer.

Are you telling me there are startups that want to run like F500 multinationals?

No company has SOX compliance departments, mandatory HR trainings or audited travel expense policies because they want to, they're just there because beyond a certain point you'll find out the hard way that they're there for a reason.
