In the current market, I'd rather bargain for myself. We shouldn't pretend what a union wants is what every one of its members wants. Leaving at-will firings on the table for instance is unlikely to garner popular support. I personally don't want specific severance requirements for those fired, otherwise you end up with defacto unfire-able situations because you've artificially increased the cost to remove a bad employee. I don't want to force them to run their company a certain way by rule, I'll just voice displeasure and leave if necessary. Due to the vast differences in employer packages and the freedom of choice given to the employee in the current demand-heavy market, I find individual bargaining to currently be more beneficial than collective bargaining.

> if some of these things are more likely with collective bargaining, why would you rule it out as a tool?

Because of all the negative externalities that happen to some employees and employers. If it was all upside there would be no reason. It's not ruled out as a tool, just its use in the current dev (general, maybe not game specific) market.
It is unlikely UBI will enable average person to go to an elite school, because by definition elite implies scarcity.

It's reading like a recipe for success when really it's simply observation on factors that helped the author have a successful career.
It definitely depends on the school, while you can direct admit to engineering, you are still not in the CSE major yet. If a prof let someone in a class because they 'expressed interest' over the 50 people in purgatory on the waitlist, there'd be protests at my campus. Classes fill to fire code room capacity. Honors scheduling is big though, but there are a lot of people in honors as well so it isn't always guaranteed.
I'm not sure what that would demonstrate. I can go check youtube comments as well, they still wouldn't be a good way to assess the branding strategy of a news org.

Protecting bad employees is not really what game industry unionization is all about. Its more about standardizing job titles and accreditation, like film industry unions.
I tried making a throwaway account on this site recently.

It took about 5 minutes to get past the (Google) captcha.

First I clicked that I'm not a robot, but then it gave me the photos of doom. After clicking all the right pictures of a bus, say, then I had to wait while they fade out and fade in new ones rather slowly. There were about 5 rounds of selecting. Then it would pick another noun and ask for that. After a few nouns of a number of rounds each, it cycled back to the first noun. A doubly-nested loop of time-delayed captchas!

Thankfully it wasn't important.

But it makes me appreciate how someone getting locked out of their own Gmail or Google Docs must feel.

I find these types of articles/blogs to be relatively pointless because the market/economy/country/etc has room for a select few successes.

Imagine if Obama wrote "How to Be a Successful Presidential Candidate" and every 2016 candidate read it and adopted it to a tee. We'd still have dozens of failures and only 1 success.

If success were really a formula, then we'd all be successful. We can't all get into harvard, we can't all be wealthy, we can't all be movies stars. We can't all win the game of musical chairs.

It's like the "how to become a millionaire" books. If we all followed their advice, nothing would change because the market has only room for X number of millionaires. And if it worked and we all became millionaires, being a millionaire would become meaningless.

At the end of the day, hard work, contacts and luck leads to success. The older I get, the more I realize that the latter two is far more important than the first criteria.
Better instant results fron Stack Overflow.

Less stupid A/B tests (sometimes I'd get idiotic results until I report any error. It'll then fox itself magically as soon as my account is removed from the test ;-)

Less annoying "we know better than you what you wanted to search for.

Feels good.
Like you say, these stunted people already exist. They already do everything in their power to minimize their work time, including trying for disability or welfare. UBI won't create more of them, and it won't end the ones we have, but it may add stability to the working poor.
"it never feels like its having enough impact on me actually growing"

Then you aren't outside your comfort zone enough because when you are, there will be NO DOUBT you've grown.

Do you know what the difference between a shitty golfer (like me) and a slightly better golfer (like my brother) is? Maybe 25 rounds of golf per year. If I played 25 MORE rounds of golf, I could beat him solidly.

Do you know what the difference between say Tiger woods and the very best Amateur golfer in the world is? A thousand rounds of golf. Ten thousand?

Point 1: Down here in the land of the unwashed masses of basically average developers like you and I, you can make noticeable strides by just consistently working a little harder. You can make leaps and bounds by consistently working A LOT HARDER.

Point 2: Once you start advancing past people, it gets harder and harder to advance past people. There's only so much room at the top, in every possible hierarchy. Check out some Jordan Peterson on Competence Hierarchy.

And I guess....

Point 3:
The only real way to be successful is to be comfortable in your own body. I have some bad news for you buddy, this part of the article is complete horse shit.

"The most successful people I know believe in themselves almost to the point of delusion. Cultivate this early. As you get more data points that your judgment is good and you can consistently deliver results, trust yourself more."

Cultivate what early? Delusion? Self confidence? \eyeroll

Success means actually liking yourself and nothing more. Some people call this CONFIDENCE. Same exact thing.

How do you become confident? Achieve.
How do you achieve? Apply your knowledge.
How do you get knowledge? FAIL AT THINGS
How do you fail at things? Try new things.

By the way "success" is such a stupid word. I have worked very, very closely with someone who has $100M in the bank. I was his computer guy for all his properties around the world and guess what? He's jealous of another guy we know with $1B in the bank.

Success != Money
Confidence != Money

Success == Confidence

OH and guess what shows up when you have confidence?

Only everything you want.
Oh youre absolutely right. Oops!
>Capitalism did not give you a weekend. Capitalism did not give you a workday that ends after 8 hours.

Both of those things were offered by Ford (and others) without federal law forcing it as a way to attract the best workers away from his competitors, and as companies saw it worked, many followed suit. They've been obtained in many countries without using labor unions to force the govt to legislate them. Unions in the US fought for them, but those things were likely coming anyways as people got richer through producing more goods. And there are enough cases of those things being offered in non-union places long before federal law that it's not honest to say they are here solely because unions.

The point is unions did not solely give us those things, or they would not also appear in places without such a labor movement. Many factors contributed to these things, unions, more production, i.e., more wealth for everyone, which are results of lot of pieces of progress.

>Working hours are longer [0].

Americans working more then other OECD countries is not the result of unions or capitalism. It's culture. Hours worked has fallen as wages rose over the past few hundred years, wages rose because people became more productive. [1]

China is a perfect example of how capitalism, not labor laws, release people from work and given them leisure and money. Under communism, there is ample labor law, which is the point of communism - all men are equal and all share. China got a two day weekend without needing unions to fight it through, they got more vacation, etc. [2] This is a result of the people making more, giving them more power, which is a result of people being more productive. It was not labor union there obtaining these things.

As they've opened to capitalism, allowing growth by more efficient allocation of capital, the everyday person has vastly improved quality of life. The same pattern played out in USSR->Russia for a while, which then went back some on the capitalism part. India did the same. Other countries followed suit.

Shame for you telling other people how they should feel.
Was there something in particular that you found interesting?
Even assuming you had any facts to base your assumption, why is that a bad thing? There is nothing holy about work, especially work for the enrichment of others.

I, an i suspect many people here, get paid handsomely to move bytes from one place to another and this funds either our ambitions or tastes. I think it's hard to argue that your general well paid tech employee is contributing to society moving bytes around appreciably more than a stoner chilling out on the couch.
Finally, a sane judgement free comment. Thank you.
> Unionization doesn't stop illegal collusion, prosecution stops illegal collusion.

You could make that same argument against the concept of defense lawyers. How would you feel if you had to defend yourself against criminal charges without a lawyer? Do you think justice would be served if you had to go it alone against a well-funded, experienced team of prosecutors who want to convict?

Yes, defense lawyers aren't perfect and can't stop all prosecutorial misconduct, but they still help a lot. Ditto with unions.

I also have a hard time buying that. Wouldn’t that mean that high tax countries with more welfare would be more probable to have big drug problems? E.g.

Am I the only one who finds the concept of privilege resentful?

It is shifting the reference point downwards, defining being disadvantaged as the standard and everything above as privileged. In my opinion that's a terrible idea as striving to become better has to be good and not something that you eventually should feel bad about.
In portugal you need more than just "ancestry", unless it's relatively close relatives (grandparent).

You would need to speak Portuguese, and prove an effective tie to portugal, for example participating in Portuguese cultural activities, groups or organizations

I mean, there's a whole host of browsers based on chromium that are not chrome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_(web_browser)#Other_b...

That said, I agree that you're basically just using chrome.

I happen to use chromium for work because I do development for extensions and it's nice to keep chrome around as my primary test browser and chromium as my daily driver.

Plus I can dig through the source on chromium and recompile locally (admittedly, not super fun) to see if I might suggest additional extension features/apis.
Suggested additions: 1. Don't use a CPU equipped with Intel ME or equivalent, or other system-level management engines like HP's iLO. 2. Look out for keylog devices.

Also, from a practical point of view: sshguard is very useful and easy to install.
Typescript doesn't support typings for functional concepts that libraries like Ramda & Sanctuary use though.
OEMs are definitely blocking repair, but not through litigation against consumers. The reason is they don't actually have the right to block you from repairing your equipment. The only thing they can do to you is sue you for violating the EULA contract.

EULA are designed to remove your existing legal rights to repair under current patent, copyright, and ownership law. Its the EULA that are unfair and deceptive -- which is why state consumer protection laws can restore your right to repair.
Empty range is 1:0 or a+1:a or a:a-1 for any integer a. Closed ranges (for integers) are equivalent to open ranges since [a,b] is the same as [a,b+1). You just put the plus ones in the right places.
I've had multiple arguments for & against TLS termination. Just to be clear I think TLS termination at the physical LB is a good practice. More specifically I believe that you need to define your trust boundary & setup TLS to terminate before / at your trust boundary.

Now if compliance is your only (superfluous) goal, without regard for practical & effective security, then I do not have an answer, but for all other cases, running TLS end to end is bad security practice & contrary to beliefs it actually makes the env less secure, not more.
> The main victim here, I should point out in passing, are the websites you're getting your news from.

The main victim is the user. We are tracked and profiled a million different ways. Shitty ad-tech devours our bandwidth and batteries and makes everything feel worse. I'd wager that end users are often paying more for the bandwidth and power to receive an ad than the publisher is getting paid to show the ad.
This is why a lot of competitive games have rightly decided not to support ultrawide monitors. Being able to observe more of the game map simultaneously is a huge advantage. The only fair way to support them would be to cripple the player, by cutting off the top and bottom of the viewable range, not by extending the left and right range.

It's so weird to me that AngularJS (1.x) is a polarizing as Electron.

It has it's warts, but I still love it as it's productivity factor is off the charts. Tried getting into Vue but do not want to deal with the complexity of learning a build tool. Could not get routing to work in Vue with static files.

It's likely he knows more about the former than the latter.

Just to add more context, this is a very common cpp (c pre-processor) idiom. You'll find it in most non-trivial C projects somewhere.
The biggest benefit for me is that since I'm working on both ends of the stack I don't constantly have to make little changes on the backend to accomplish what I want on the frontend. In the past I've ended up with an array of alternative endpoints using different methods or query parameters for special cases whereas now the particulars about what I want to retrieve is more delegated to what I'm doing on the frontend. It is also quicker in that I don't have to write client libraries as I go.

Even more, now I'm using postgrahile and don't even bother with writing the backend for much of anything except special case resolvers. This has increased my productive time but it might not be a fit for everyone. The nice thing is that I keep my schema in the app repo and have the entire thing provisioned from 1 script.

If I need a new resource I just modify the database schema and the graphql resolvers are created automatically.
Quite right, every other city in the world is either smaller or larger than the cities we're talking about! What a shame we can't apply any proven solutions from them.
I too recall early encounters with Smalltalk (albeit 1989), and also recall that feeling of missing grep - and it was only years later that I realised I had missed a hugely important point... possibly the most important point. Smalltalk is so elegant, malleable and simple that it was only 5 lines of code to implement a more interactive grep... d’oh. Why didn’t I think of it at the time? Too cocky?

Code completion was trivial to implement even back then, particularly as code is an object like anything else. Sometimes you miss the obvious and hold yourself back.

Sadly the industry hasn’t innovated much since PARC, those much mailigned Smalltalk images are now called Docker ;)
The archetypal historical example of "isolationism" was American isolationism between the World Wars. And those people also called themselves "pacifists" and "non-interventionists" and "anti-war". I'm not saying you're a Nazi sympathizer, I'm saying your expressed opinions are indistinguishable from the views of people, some of whom history later came to judge as Nazi sympathizers.

> I've paid attention to lots of awful things going on around the world for a few decades, and I've noticed that many of them can be traced back to USA

Yeah, this is the kind of Noam Chomsky crap that makes you come across as "far-left", or "the kind of person who sympathizes with foreign dictatorships". My apologies.
Duke energy and Facebook have identical P/E ratios. Don’t have time to dig deeper but given that I don’t see regulation destroying shareholder value, the market sees them on a utility trajectory going forward.

One thing they said early on in the ~2 hour video I was watching was that, while AlphaStar had access to the full data of everything within its fog of war, it seemed to need to partition its access to it, in a way that was similar to a human checking different screens, and did so about ~30 (or was it 37?) times per minute.

This might be why changing to having to observe only one screenful at a time (rather than the zoomed out view) didn't seem to have as large an effect.

Programming is difficult, writing kernels even more so; hence there will be bugs. It's not a language issue.
Google obviously just decided you were good at training its machine learning algs.

It's an ethics issue. You have vested interest in Amazon's public perception as an employee. You can't try to divorce your comments from your relationship with Amazon and expect to still be taken seriously.

A simple disclosure would have lent your comments more credibility.
It's easy to argue this perspective when talking about iPhones, significantly more difficult when talking about appliances like fridges or stoves. People aren't going to say, "oh, fridges are not very repairable, so I'm not going to buy one." They'll buy an unfixable one and then toss it when it breaks.
What you say about unions having fewer constraints is interesting. I think it's important that both sides be made to play fair in such things, and the laws could use a review. I just think in principle unions are important in certain industries due to the structure of the industries themselves. Especially ones with a centralized nature, such as trains, electricity, cable TV, and fossil fuels. That unions are important in these areas is shown by them having a longer, stronger history of such.

StarCraft is also a FAR bigger challenge than Go. So much so that even saying AlphaStar is similar to AlphaGo is quite a stretch (see https://deepmind.com/blog/alphastar-mastering-real-time-stra... - the architecture and to some extent training regime are very different). I'd be surprised if they can learn the macro without imitation, unlike in Go ; but we'll see. Would sure be nice if they also released the paper...
This is exactly what I think, I'd like to see how Alphastar react to "cannon rush" or other weird bo where you need to be "smart" to counter it and just not be based on insane / none human micro.

This sounds like a real advantage in the AI's favor though: It can focus its attention on a lot more things simultaneously. It's not just a UI difference; the AI is actually better at this, like how a pocket calculator is actually better at division than people. This latter bit we just accept; we don't defend humans by saying the calculator is cheating because it isn't writing out the calculation by hand.

Similarly, robots are physically stronger than people at any given task you can think of. That's a real advantage of them.
