So, I'm a die-hard meat eater, and I categorically refuse to ever give up meat, but there is some seriously fantastic vegetarian food out there based on this exact principle.

There's a Beijing-style street food place in a suburb of Dallas. If you're ever in the area and want to check it out, it's called Fatni BBQ. My absolute favorite items on the menu are both vegetarian, and I would gladly go there and get only non-meat items because they're _that damn good_.

Item one is what the menu calls "hibachi tofu". It's a basket of tofu that's all been seared on the grill. It has all the wonderful tastes and textures I associate with fried cheese, except it's not quite as gooey. I'm lucky it comes in a giant basket, because I will devour that so fast.

Item two is what the menu calls "hibachi gluten", which is a skewer containing several pieces of fried wheat gluten. Most of the pieces are cut in a spiral pattern, but there's usually one end piece on each skewer that's shaped kind of like an arrowhead. I seriously feel sorry for the celiacs of the world, because this stuff is genuinely addictive. It tastes like it's made of both meat and fried dough at the same time. Each skewer is about $1, and I never order less than five. And I still leave wanting more but having to cut myself off because I can spend way too much there if I'm not careful.

Oh, and every single item on their menu is dipped in a cumin-forward mix of spices that's just amazing.

They're actually not a vegetarian place. They have lots of meat items on their menu, but honestly they're just not nearly as good as the tofu or the gluten.

I really hate to say this. But I didn't like this article because it somehow puts the blame on VueJS. Where frankly there is none.

It seems this guy is more of a "plumber" type developer than a "roll up your sleeves and get on with it" type developer.

This developer smacks of someone swinging through the trees in the jungle of frameworks and latching on to whichever framework gives him the most bang for buck or IOW does the job for him. I get the feeling that when you look at the package file for his projects, they have 2000000000000 dependencies.

When I moved from jQuery over to Vue, I found that many libs didn't have similar components. Instead of looking at React I simply built my own. Also moving from jQuery over to ES6 is trivial. Sure it's a pain in the beginning but now 7 months later, I don't even think about it.

I've looked at projects of Vue 1.x and can easily read them, there isn't much difference between 1.x and 2.x. It's trivial to upgrade. Can you imagine this developer crowing at 3.x and saying his code isn't running?

> And the market as a whole doesn’t care.

Really, this says it all.
I don't think it's your responsibility to play whack-a-mole and guess what types of data you think they might have. It's their responsibility to tell you.

The right to access your data is Article 15 of GDPR. Section 1 lays out what they have to provide you. Part (b) of that is "the categories of personal data concerned." I'm no lawyer, but I take that to mean that they have to provide you with the complete list of processing they do.

If I were making this request, I would scrap the entire bullet-point list you wrote and say that I'm invoking my Article 15 rights to be informed of the categories of personal data that [OPERATOR] processes about me.

The innovation would be to not demand obscene prices from the loved ones at their time of grieving.
I think that's going to be difficult, vegan or not. For one, most snacks tend to be really high in calories. I think that's not just a coincidence.
The problem I have with the narrative you advance is that you, like so many others I've seen in the past few years, seem to just ignore the existence of poor white people. This country has entire towns and cities of poor white people who are facing the same sorts of situations I described, but you make statements that suggest that it's only nonwhite people who experience this sort of thing regularly. Do you think harsh treatment from a landlord would have been a surprise to all the white people I grew up around as a kid who were on food stamps living in rented trailers? These folks had to move around every few years because they got kicked out or couldn't make rent. A sympathetic landlord would have been the surprise to them.

This is exactly the viewpoint I was trying to deconstruct with my original story -- that having all the white privilege in the world does not stop these things from happening to you, no matter what the narrative is, and that these experiences are simply not exclusive in any way to nonwhite people. You are either unaware of a huge demographic of people in the US, or you willingly ignore their presence.

None of this is to say that white privilege just flat-out doesn't exist, but it does explain why your manner of discussing it is highly unlikely to connect with white people who have regularly experienced all the things you seem to suggest only happen to minorities with high frequency. You appear to be discussing an alternate reality that does not exist for them.

Can also confirm. Did 5 internships at a variety of companies.

I got to try out radical new ideas and was given a surprising amount of freedom.
The primary goal with interns in tech is to convince them to work at your company post graduation.
False positives are nothing. If more people would visit the ER with potential heart trouble many lives could be saved. False negatives are a real worry: someone who decides "it is just heartburn" because the watch says everything is okay - this can kill people. (I'm not qualified to comment on how accurate the watch is)
Outside of US the Uber brand is not so strong. In EU they are very regulated and they compete with local players that understand the market. Asia is also dominated by local players. So Uber exists in these markets, but almost nobody uses it there.
I was positive people would come along and not catch the meaning of my comment.
I've had the Impossible Burger at a restaurant as well as the Beyond Burger at Epic Burger. I'm not sure which tastes more like meat, but the Beyond Burger is far tastier. I sometimes daydream about that sandwich.
>Because engineers have little incentive to lie,

Really? They have just as much incentive. Tight deadlines, bonuses, promotions, etc. You've never see an engineer push through questionable code to make a deadline or launch a product so they can get that promotion?
I flew out of Gatwick a few days after the supposed drone sighting(s). I saw a hawk hovering over a runway, which made me wonder whether someone who can't tell a hawk from a drone raised the alarm and all other sightings were of subsequent police drone activity.

Edit: it was a kestrel for those of you who are ornithologically inclined.
This is an important comment and having worked extensively in this space, I would like to expound on it.

The "best" college educations typically take 4 to 10 years to reach a break even point. Some degrees can result in a net loss of lifetime income.

The older you get, typically the less monetary sense a degree makes. Couple this with an open admissions degree from a for profit college and you are likely on thin ice.

If you (as a returning adult) want to continue your education, that is great. Just make sure you are doing it for the right reasons.
That's where we disagree. You're taking some pretty radical jumps to get to the conclusion you want. Let's assume for a second that you're right, and EMR somehow kills an entire company (who sells much more than just a Cloud offering). This has absolutely no bearing on the survival of an open source project. Yes, Cloudera employs developers who's sole job is to work on Hadoop, but there are a ton of people who work on and contribute to Hadoop outside of both Cloudera & Hortonworks (e.g. Yahoo, Facebook, Amazon, Alibaba, ..., ..., ...)

It's equally outrageous to assume that the developers at these companies would somehow just completely lose all passion and willingness to carry the project forward if they lost their job. The reason a lot of people at Cloudera & Hortonworks are there is because they were contributing to the project long before they were employees.

Hadoop isn't going anywhere. It may become less relevant or more relevant based on how things play out and/or new projects coming to fruition, but the project will be around for a long time. Lastly, the project "Hadoop" is nothing like it was back 8 years ago. The project continues to evolve and projects born out of it are essentially tacked onto it (e.g. Flink, Spark, Kudu, HBase, Presto/Drill/Hive/Impala).
Yes, that's true to some extent, though my primary goal is not to open new doors necessarily. It certainly would strengthen my position when applying for certain spots, but really I want to fill in the deep gaps in my knowledge in certain areas in CS/Mathematics and explore entirely new ones as well. This isn't a decision I'd take lightly either way, given the cost.
Not to burst your bubble, but that is just the vacuum can on the dilution refrigerator and is a standard piece of hardware you will see in many physics labs. There wasn't really any product design beyond slapping the IBM logo on there.
I think they even had no way to improve rather than (or in addition to), no reason. Their existing operations never allowed for going from 3-week delivery to 2-day delivery.
There is still a one-minute minimum.
IBM originally thought that software was the complement to hardware. Nowadays, we think of hardware as the complement to software.

What does, "embedded deeper in the value chain than your product" mean in layman's terms? Does it mean something which causally precedes the product?
> Is the Web Dev job market in a good enough state

There's a lot of demand for devs across the board (this is my gut feeling from participating in hiring at my current company). This probably varies a lot across teams in a company, across companies in an industry, and across industries.

One strategy I recommend is to narrow down your target employer market so you can get more specific answers. What industries are you interested in? What are some companies you might want to work for? Do they have an engineering team (most likely). Then figure out what roles they have open and do your best to position yourself for those openings once yo u start interviewing.

> that I should risk more time and money?

What kind of self-learning have you already done? Can you give us some information about the courses / tutorials you've been following? Is this something you find yourself enjoying?

More details about your situation would help. For example, if you've mostly been following a coursera course for the last six months that's heavy on the theory side, I might recommend that you spend more time with something more hands on like building a web app to solve a problem you have.
The Sears that did that died a long time ago; it was buried when Kmart bought them in 2004.
Not the OP, but I can shed some of my thoughts as I've been at WeWork, local co-working spaces, and leased our own office space.

Most co-working spaces are cheaper, but they won't offer as many amenities as WeWork. 24-hour building access, conference rooms (for clients and internal meetings), phone booths, free coffee, a kitchen to utilize for lunch, highspeed internet (1,000Mbps if you use the ethernet jack) and roughly around 200Mbps on their free Wifi, free printing up to a certain volume every month. Did I forget the best perk? With your WeWork membership you can actually access any other WeWork location in the world and work out of there.

There were a number of times when I was traveling, I would just book a desk at another city or country for a single conference room credit.

Just a few positives off the top of my head compared to other coworking spaces. While you can find some with the same benefits, WeWork also wins with their decor and natural lighting in some offices. They also make it easy for startups to expand if they need more desk space. You rent on a monthly basis, whereas most places do yearly contracts.

Now let's talk about leasing your own space and all the headache that goes with it. At least in NYC, most places don't have a kitchen. So if you want a place to make coffee and wash your hands that's not the bathroom, you'll need to pay someone to have it installed.

You'll also need to set up the internet and electricity. And since you're on a lease, there's a good chance the landlord will raise the prices sky high the moment the contract is up. You'll actually end up paying relatively close to WeWork's price per month with a lot more things to manage on your own.

Think of it as self-hosting versus managed hosting. Small scale startups don't want to deal with all the headache so they just opt for WeWork. It's a reputable brand and they know what they are getting at any WeWork. It's similar to walking into a Hilton or Marriot. You know what to expect from it.

Hope that helps!

It's a warning. The site is authored by a private entity whose only qualification may be that they registered the gdpr.eu domain most quickly. It claims to be a "complete guide to GDPR compliance" but is nothing of the sort. Most pages end with the disclaimer that "nothing found in this portal constitutes legal advice" and to consult a lawyer.

Legally, it's quite dangerous since it might give you the feeling of being compliant while still being at risk. "But Proton Technologies AG said ..." isn't going to hold up in court.
Generic GUI API's that fit a wide variety of application programming languages has proven a very tricky task. I know of none that do it close to right.

Data structures and object models vary too much between languages. If you "solve" this by extracting out anything potentially programming-language-specific (such as variable types and data structure "types"), you end up with something that looks like a markup language anyhow (or at least a declarative data/attribute language).
You're engaging in 'all-or-nothing' thinking. The vast majority of medical expenses are not like that. And that's the whole point of insurance--to be covered in case something happens so you don't have to negotiate on the spot.

That's like saying we should socialize food distribution because people can't negotiate when they're starving.

This is replacing student debt with student equity.

Here's some thought on debt and equity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modigliani%E2%80%93Miller_theo...

AKA the "capital structure irrelevance principle."

My thoughts for some reason wandered that way, but I was actually going to address another issue: as long as it's expensive to go to college, you can't win. There's no free lunch. If college were cheap, you could spend a few years improving your future earnings. If it's fairly priced, you can't. It's as if everyone will be trapped by efficiency, though I haven't quite fleshed this out in my mind.

Of course college is not the only thing there is, but it's a fairly big aspiration for a fairly large chunk of the population.
A Letter to a Year 10 Student from Australia’s Chief Scientist
I don’t mean to be contentious here, but the reason for which student debt cannot be discharged by bankruptcy is pretty sound: it’s because education (theoretically) adds warning power to an individual and cannot be liquidated.

You're right about the brain differences. Scans, autopsies, and blood level studies have demonstrated there is a correlation in observed behavior.

It's insulting for Peter to insinuate that people with mental disorders lack discipline. Most people who know me would never guess I have a mental disorder as I keep my promises and achieve results in projects.

Any symptoms I have are usually chalked up to personality traits. I searched for help when my physical health was at a risky state.

1961 era level of ignorance
To be fair, "unconfirmed drone sighting" is an example of "unidentified flying object".
This is absolutely true. A lot of the most interesting people I know only appear boring because they are well aware of the societal norms and won't speak out. Once you break through that trust barrier you can find that "boring" people are actually incredibly complex and interesting.

Your mileage my vary.
I mean half a million drivers each with a car that say costs $20k over its lifetime is about 10 billion. So like maybe?
The demand for, and thus price of, feed crops will decrease if we largely switch from real meats to plant-based substitutes, so there will be less economic incentive to grow crops on those rolling hills, not more. They could still be used to raise livestock (we're probably not going to eliminate 100% of meat and animal products from the market), or just returned to nature.

I would point out that if the US is already spending more money on arms than the next several countries combined, I don't think this is the relevant issue. If another power was strong enough to threaten our defenses, that would be one thing but clearly there is something much bigger going on (I would say it is the US empire, at least according to a senior official in the Bush administration: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality-based_community). I hesitate to make this argument because I think they should be abolished, but if we have nukes, why do we need new "defensive" weapons? The only reason is to be able to control events in other parts of the world to the benefit of the people that start the wars.

This perspective would imply that we should not be encouraging our citizens to devote their energies to devising ways to kill (i.e. form startups around "defense").

I'll agree, you were making a more narrow point that there are in fact a lot of candidates who can't do extremely simple coding exercises (I agree about that as well)

This assertion is often mis-used (a slight of hand to resolve the question of why companies reject so many candidates yet claim that anyone competent will find "100 companies that will hire you today".)

However, you were not making that second assertion, you were insisting that something that is real is not a myth, fair enough.

I'm not personally a vegetarian but my partner is.

I like the meat substitutes because it gives me that nice umami and chewiness I do not get out of a lot of vegetarian dishes.

Meat sets off pleasant, primal signals in the brain. Having a vegan dish that can replace that is good in my opinion.
Are you really not getting this, or just making straw men? "That's a huge win for the environment (and also animal rights)". The comment seems pretty clear to me.

If it's just straw men... nothing is black and white - the same people who say boo to "synthetic foods" (which is obviously a massive scale too) are not the same people who say "meat production is bad for long-term human survival". The issues are complex and overlap in weird ways.
