I believe that Ubisoft may not be that bad, but it's still in an industry that succeeds on the backs of it's employees, I can't see how it would stack up against industries that don't make it a habit of brutal overtime and low pay.
I have wondered for a long time why pipes are not used more often in production-grade applications.

I have seen plenty pipe use in bash scripts, especially for build and ETL purposes.
Other languages, have ways to do pipes as well (e.g. Python https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html#replacing-...) but I have seen much less use of it.

It appears to me, that for more complex applications one rather opts for TCP-/UDP-/UNIX-Domain sockets for IPC.

- Has anyone here tried to plumb together large applications with pipes?

- Was it successful?

- Which problems did you run into?

I highly recommend everyone signs up their company and gives honest feedback there. Closing the Asymmetric Information gap will only help workers (the vast majority of us) make better choices about where to work, how much to charge employers and what really goes on (not the propaganda campaigns that are online resources and interviews)
Consider that if they know when you wrote your review, they know which your review is, if you then change your review, that's a pretty blatant way of telling them exactly who you are, which might not go over well if they have any sway at all (or if they know someone who might be able to block your progress later).

Sure. The consumers do (at the end of the day), hence the fees. We also pay for the costs borne by them to resolve disputes, handle those that don't pay back, etc. Also hence the fees.
"Vaccines cause autism." "Vaccines don't cause autism."

Both of those convey information. Both are expressed frequently. Only one is backed by research. And only one of those is true.

At best, Google might be able to tell you which is backed by research. But that's no guarantee that it's the true answer.

The study of epistemology is fascinating.
That's, at best, extremely misleading; outside of the most extreme absolute deprivation, relative deprivation (or prosperity) appears to be much more of a contributor to experienced disutility (or utility) than absolute deprivation or prosperity, such that, in practice, and modulo alleviating the most crushing poverty (which isn't where marginal gains go in the developed world, even where such poverty still remains) and maintaining illusions which shield the less well off from the prosperity of th well off (consumer-oriented capitalism actively seeks the opposite), wealth is, in practice, zero sum [0] in terms of impact on ezperienced utility, even if it isn't in measures of absolute possessions or consumption.

[0] or, at least, rivalrous, in that for anyone to gain utility from wealth compared to an alternative scenario, someone else must lose; it's not real clear that utility can be meaningfully aggregated across individuals.
This is not exactly a consumer focusing regulation, one of the bing things of the EU is destroying barriers to the single market like foreign bank fee for withdrawals, roaming charges on phones, SEPA, etc.

Glassdoor is paid by companies, not by employees, so nobody should trust it. Our HR department is frequently asking everyone to leave good reviews on Glassdoor. 0 credibility.

It's like that scummy business magazines who give awards are in. I worked at a place where I heard our VP of marketing say because we paid this really well-known travel magazine tons of money for ad placement that we should win a spa award. The only review site I trust is Consumer Reports, there should be a Consumer Reports alternative for Glassdoor.

You're missing step 3.5, where as a company gains trust and notoriety, more and more 3rd parties will attempt to game the system to their favor. That's where most trust can end up lost. The moment it becomes worthwhile to "buy upvotes" there will be trouble.
> Hundreds of thousands would live on a street that now houses a thousand people.

> I don’t think that density is coming back or desirable.

I think there's plenty of examples of dense cities (certainly far denser than most US cities) that aren't full of death-trap tenements and it's borderline intellectually dishonest to equate density with that.

In fact, letting NIMBYs have free rein to obstruct/delay/interdict housing construction is far more likely to cause overcrowded/unsafe living situations (which include homelessness) than the other way around.
>, but Google is invaluable because of its utility and amazing results? It's able to provide those results because it steals your data

What data from me does Google steal? I don't have a Google account. I can be anonymous at a Starbucks coffee shop and search google for "Paul Graham" and get back useful results. If they coalesce search queries on my home ip address, that's unavoidable and a tradeoff I knowingly make.

>And as an alternative to YouTube, there are free public libraries with similar DIY books

In the last month, I needed to replace a side mirror of
a Lexus car and also disassemble a Moen faucet. No, my library does not have the manuals to show how to do it. But youtube did have the videos uploaded by nice people. Both of those procedures had tricky steps that weren't obvious and Youtube saved me hundreds of dollars in fees from car dealerships and plumbers.
Judging from the height of the door handle and the faucet(?) controls, it looks like everything is shorter than it appears in the picture. In my estimation, for an average height of between 5-6 feet, the jars are at head level and the drawers are at abdomen level, which would be ideal.
This is not that atypical if you are a physicist, mathematician, or a developer on a non-rote job. Not the wife complaining part, but the 'keep thinking part'.

That was not my experience. Google was pretty inflexible and offered me (with 16 years of experience) well under $300k for an L4 position.

A month later Twitter offered me 35% more than Google's best and final offer for a more senior position. I didn't even have to negotiate or mention the rejected Google offer.

Oh, I should add that, in my case, the downlevelling was up front. The recruiter wouldn't even put me in for an L5 interview.

You need to leave a review if you want to access the data in the site. This motivates people to leave a (neutral) review.

Yes, moisture transport is a lot higher with air leakage:

* https://www.ecohome.net/guides/2316/the-difference-between-a...

However, if you're doing an air barrier, you can often get a moisture barrier "for free" nowadays. Since a lot of housing uses OSB/plywood, if you go with something like Huber's Zip System--which has a coating on it--you can save a lot on labour by only doing one pass around the house. Though you do have to seal the seems as well.

Otherwise something like the popular Tyvek will get the job generally done, but there are peal-and-sticks as well that tend to be tighter (and vent as well, like Delta Vent).

If one is okay with the cost, there's also the idea of simply closed cell foaming the entire house. :)
Cheap swipes like this article really bug me. It's fostering snide comments and continuing the negative connotation with the manji symbol which was a religious symbol predating its nazi appropriation. If a company were to have the angled swastika displayed prominently in their logo, then sure - but not only is this not the case, but it's also just white space that they're projecting their prejudices on. I don't think there's anything wrong with criticism, but sometimes I feel like instead of contributing anything valuable to the internet, the majority of writers on these media sites are paid to either shit on things or to advertise it.
Good thing they charge me $0.94 a month for my B2 storage. Gotta make that budget from somewhere!

Interesting thing about Janissaries is that though they were foreigners, warrior slaves forcefully taken from their Christian families at young age, quite a few of them managed to move up the ranks and become very powerful military leaders and statesmen, even Grand Viziers (the most powerful person after Sultan). A lot of Ottoman Grand Viziers were not of Turkish origin actually.
No, their argument is that bugs in OpenSSL mean that using SSL when it does not actually increase network security is a bad thing. Reduce your attack surface. Use the things you need to use; don't use things you don't need to use.

Whether apt using OpenSSL would in fact increase network security is a separate and debatable question, but the argument as stated assumes it would not, and is sound.

> Before Facebook, if people wanted to organize conversation and cooperation on an information technology platform, the options were to pay $X00-$X000 for a proprietary system, get lucky enough to know about mailing lists, have someone who knew sysadmin do it basically for free, or have everyone learn how to use something like IRC.

There were like 20 years in between what you describe and Facebook's dominance.

Before Facebook there were thousands of thriving independent forums on wide varieties of topics. I spent large portions of my teenage years on them and got way more value out of them than I have out of any Facebook group.

Honestly, the only place where you can currently get genuine company reviews today is Blind, if you can stomach the trolling. The so-called 'kool-aid drinkers' or 'hr puppets' are called out (often humorously) all the time.

For Glassdoor, I am not surprised, this is not news. I interviewed at an awful company once which had stellar - I mean actually straight-A's 'nothing wrong here, we're the best, if God came down from heaven and founded a company, this would be it' reviews. Found out from an ex-employee after they've been acquired by the company I worked at that they were pestered daily to write positive reviews.
I was expect a buffer overflow but this is a quoting issue which is equally applicable to all languages. Are the any language-level methods which make such bugs impossible (or much harder)?

From my perspective, it's only gotten worse over time with FB. How do you explain the numerous privacy/data breaches, FB data being used to undermine democracy and spread disinformation, and its monopolistic practices preventing other "partners" from competing with the marriage.

To use your marriage analogy, this is a MESSED UP marriage. FB is like a spouse preventing you from even socializing with other people of their own gender if they even are a minor threat (i.e. Insta and Whats App getting bought up). FB is a partner who snoops on all your apps without permission. FB is a partner who manipulates your behavior with ads. What kind of marriage is this? Would you marry someone who has been the subject of numerous scandals?

In my view, FB's small upsides of meeting up with distant friends who I honestly don't care for, that's not even 50% recompense for its downsides for me.
> Flexibility works one way there

A former boss put it like this, "Sure we have flex time! You can arrive any time before 8 and leave any time after 6."
The one thing that boggles me most about Disney World's Magic Kingdom theme park is that it is essentially one giant building, and the park guests and some vehicles all walk around on its roof. And that reminds me of the time when the entire city of Chicago was elevated, one building at a time, with jacks. And that reminds me of the Merchandise Mart, which was the largest building in the world by floor area when it was built (now surpassed by 40 or 50 buildings, often airport terminals), and at only 100m tall. And that reminds me that the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) has only 10% more floor area, but has to go more than 4 times taller to get that much.

So that gives me the idea that one could make a single building with a footprint of one square mile, with its foundation at 0m, floors at 3.5m, 7m, 10.5m, 14m, and roof at 17.5m . That would be 3.5 times as large as the largest building by volume, five times as large as the largest building by footprint, and 7 times as large as the largest building by usable floor area. It could easily hold 50000 housing units, plus enough support infrastructure for 100000 residents. And one could still build additional floors above roof level. Nothing would be more than 2 miles away from anything else (by Manhattan distance). It could all be built for $6 billion.

The reason why our cities aren't giant Borg cubes is because of all the individuality, and the capacity for one person's individual preferences to override another's. In most US cities, you currently can't build right up to the property line, and cantilever your third floor out over center of the street. Doing that, building by building, in a city that allows it, would solve any housing crisis in short order.
I think it is a given that ironically you should never use credt cards for credit but like a debit card.

The point about paying less is that the merchants who often complain of the processing fees and delays seldom give a discount for paying in cash to offset the lack of fee surcharges bundled into sale prices.
Plan and Review: How to Save Your Time with This Powerful Routine
> If a packager wishes that multiple minor version releases should be present in a system then he should build his packages to reflect that, which is exactly how Python packages, and specially some libraries, do. For example, python packages are independent at the major version level but GCC packages are independent at the minor version level.

Not in a system. In a repo. Standard debian tools ( not hacked, not outside the tree, not outside the debian main tree ) do not support this.

If you have a repo with <packagename>-<packageversion> and add a package <packagename>-<packageversion1> where packageversion1 is higher than the package version, the previous version gets deleted from the repo.

Can it be worked around? Sure, you can:

a) have multiple repos. If you want to keep up to a hundred versions, you can just create a hundred repos.

b) you can redefine the meaning of a package name and incorporate the version into the name of the package.

(b) Sounds like a good solution. Except if the org decided to use something like .deb for distribution of artifacts it is probably the org that uses other software. Let's say it uses puppet, which supports Debian package management out of the box, except that now you need to change how puppet uses version numbers because as we started embedding the version name into the package name "nginx-1.99.22" and "nginx-1.99.23" became two different packages not two different versions of the same package.

This goes on and on.
China can play ball all day with Canada and as we saw can make Canada regret getting involved. (In theory, Canada had no choice, you must arrest if you want to have the same relations with USA /EU.)

YNAB does what you want and only costs $6.99 a month. IMHO it's worth every penny.
For that item to have quantifiable value to others though, they must be willing to exchange their money for the new item. The money that is to be exchanged already existed and is supposed to be limited in supply via fiscal policy. If the majority of that supply is owned by a small group of people the value that can be exchanged for the newly created item is limited as well unless those with the wealth want it.
We've started using Gitlab where I work and it's so much better than GitHub. The built in CI and the activity view are features I just can't live without anymore. I also prefer Gitlab's merge requests to Github's PR system, and the UI overall is just tons better. The other thing is that GHE is an afterthought always behind github.com and with Gitlab, that's the main product, although gitlab.com is what we're using and it's gold. The only thing I miss is contribution stats which you have to pay extra for, and I hope we do.

No. My argument is that both arguments do exist and security is all about middle-ground. Do we add (yet another) layer of (bug-riddled) software to defeat one possible sort of exploits, or not? How much does it cost? (Time, money, etc.)

Other options include: not handle http directly in the package manager but use a known-good library (curl?); do priv-sep; not having the package manager execute code from a file before it checked its authenticity...

My personal opinion on the topic is that authenticating servers is a good thing to do (https does this; encryption is an added benefit), but time has shown that https is broken: libs are full of holes; the CA model is broken by design. Maybe share updates using ssh?

Unfortunately, humans are susceptible to the desire for short term gains that produce long term problems (ex. from your comment: cars).

Products can have both utility and be a danger. It's possible to criticise something and still understand it's utility but simply feel that the danger is worse.

When the internal combustion engine was criticised as the worst invention of all time, it wasn't because people thought it wasn't useful, it was because it was insanely useful and incredibly bad for the environment.

In fact, there's little need to criticise things that aren't useful as very few people use them.
That is correct. Merchants and customers who aren’t gaming their credit cards lose money.

Credit card fees end up as a transaction tax on a huge part of the economy. The folks who have figured out how to insert themselves into the money flow (Visa et al.) are sucking a huge profit out by slightly taxing everyone else.

As a side benefit for the credit card companies, they also collect data about everyone’s purchases, and can earn extra money by selling that data to the highest bidder, compromising customer privacy.

The system is in need of some strict regulatory oversight, but card networks can afford expensive lobbying / campaign donations, so don’t hold your breath.
