I also find it interesting as with the experience it is more difficult to answer certain interview questions. 10 years ago a question like "how do you make sure your code changes in production do not cause outages" wouldn't cause me any headaches but now I am getting stuck as this is something I can talk about for hours and I need to know the context and the details of it so I start thinking what the scope of my answer should be and what they want to hear from me in the next minute or two and that I probably have to squeeze my experience into this two minutes and it is hardly possible so what should I start with? While I am thinking about all this, it probably looks like I have nothing to say at all. It's sad :)

Hey! Out of the box there's nothing groundbreaking. I find what works for me is to include a column to mark individual expenses as "business related", and then calculate a total at the end of the month that I make sure to get reimbursed for through expense reports.

At the core though, this is just a spreadsheet, so you can add custom formulas and analytics to your heart's content!

This entire article has many facets that are quite interesting, and we just can't wait for substantial research in this area to reach well supported conclusions and remedies for people with different conditions.

Ha! I first came across this verse (7.2) early in my career, circa 2001 or so, and it always stuck with me.

In the East there is a shark which is larger than all other fish. It changes into a bird whose wings are like clouds filling the sky. When this bird moves across the land, it brings a message from Corporate Headquarters. This message it drops into the midst of the programmers, like a seagull making its mark upon the beach. Then the bird mounts on the wind and, with the blue sky at its back, returns home.

The novice programmer stares in wonder at the bird, for he understands it not. The average programmer dreads the coming of the bird, for he fears its message. The Master Programmer continues to work at his terminal, unaware that the bird has come and gone.

This law came into being at a time when energy was dear and land relatively abundant. Now with cheap artificial lighting some of this is moot.

Of course natural light is nicer in many ways, but in a big building you’ll need artificial lighting regardless. Plus, vertical growth is better land use than ever growing sprawl.
> One person may think a "programmer" should know how to design/implement algorithms, while another would say algorithms are a library implementation issue.

The problem is many of us fill both definitions. One minute I could be creating a complex algorithm, the next I could copy/pasting a shell script from stack overflow and neither is necessarily a superset of the other, so which category would I put myself in?
When Instagram copied Snapchat and released the stories feature, Snapchat should've quickly copied everything else from Instagram (except all the nastiness that Facebook pushes) and offered those as optional...like storing snaps permanently. Snap really missed the boat on this, along with the UI redesign that turned off the core user base.

Instagram is only going to get worse with Mark Zuckerberg pushing it. Snap could still be an alternative if it focuses on what users want and keep what users may not want as optional or as a new app altogether.
Maybe it's not a bug, but something akin to a backdoor that has been uncovered.

Ganga is an outlier when it comes to how polluted it is. Most water sources with settlements nearby aren't safe for drinking but most river's tributaries are relatively clean and safe for drinking (after some processing). According to wikipedia: "The Ganges suffers from extreme pollution levels, caused by the 400 million people who live close to the river". South Indian rivers are much, much more cleaner but almost all of it used for irrigation.
Interesting question. I’m not a lawyer, but I presume it’s derivative enough not to be copyrighted. For example, one could argue Google’s giant n-gram corpus is derived from many copyrighted webpages.
I really like systemd.

It's got tons of really great functionality.

systemd feels like it is well thought out and modern, like it's an integrated rethink and rebuild of lots of various software utilities that have evolved over many years.

I'm investing all my learning in systemd where appropriate instead of things I used previously like cron and supervisor.

I don’t think it makes sense to make blanket statements like this. The best engineer I’ve ever worked with is probably in his high 50s/ low 60s and there is no way he will ever be let go considering how valuable he is to the org, not only because he has great output but also because he’s a really good mentor to younger developers.

As other people in this thread have mentioned I think the ageism is worst for those who arent standouts. But I imagine in almost all fields, you will have trouble as someone with 20+ years of experience getting a good job without being pretty good at the job at that point
As somebody who has been writing CSS for 13 years and watched numerous people fail here is the deal.

You have to confront the challenges head on and solve for them directly. Unlike JavaScript there is no magic framework abstraction hide from your fears shortcut. You have to embrace this reality both cognitively and emotionally. This is the reality, accept it. If you cannot get past this barrier give up and do something else with your life.

That said CSS isn’t too hard but it takes some very real practice up front to wrap your mind around it. The browser tools are much better than they used to be.

First you have to understand that CSS describes markup and markup is a tree structure. A solid understanding of the DOM is helpful but not required. Most CSS properties cascade down to descendant DOM nodes but some do not, particularly anything addressing the box model.

Second you have to embrace the box model. Don’t use the box-sizing property to redefine reality. Embrace the box model and understand it deeply. It isn’t hard but needs to be seared into your brain so that you are thinking about it visually instead of as code properties. Once you have mastered comfort with the box model you can use box-sizing if you want, but you probably won’t.

Third, understand dimensions. For learning I recommend not using pixels. Set the body to font-size: 10px and use em units for everything else. This simplifies things by setting 1em to 10px for initial definitions and forces you to consider how the cascading works when 1em becomes some multiplicative value. You are already an experienced developer so the math won’t be hard. You just need to wrap your mind around why the value changes how to correct for it in the code.

Fourth, learn float. Float Changes an element into something like display:inline-block and allows content to flow around it. Specify clear:both on another element to stop the flowing/wrapping behavior. You can create columns by creating a parent element filled with floating children. Add a final child element with display:block and clear:both to limit the floating behavior to the parent.

Fifth, understand position. Default is position static. Avoid value absolute unless you deliberately want to impose layering and completely remove the element from the flow control of the page. The properties top, right, bottom, and left refer back to the last positioned ancestor node.

Finally, play with pseudo classes to be familiar with what’s available.

Practice those things and build up your confidence. It gets easy but it takes some effort. It is a different skill than programming logic. After I had first started learning there was something called the CSS Zen Garden that made for some practice. Here was my attempt: http://mailmarkup.org/zen/

Browsers evolve in how they render text, but when I made that Zen Garden thing all the text columns were in complete vertical alignment cross browser.
WSL is more of an emulator though - it's isolated in its own box, and the rest of Windows doesn't see the POSIX view of the world. If you're writing a library, and you want it to be used on Win32, you can't assume POSIX.
MacOS is not a BSD derivative when it comes to kernel.

And I'm pretty sure Windows has some C++ in kernel space. It might be limited (no exceptions etc), but that's another matter.
> "I'm not going to defend Lennart's approach to community interaction, but what I will say is you have to admire the willpower and determination of somebody who at work one day says 'I'm gonna write my own init system- actually no it's going to be a full on system layer for linux' [...] and then he gets it put into pretty much every major linux distribution."

Yeah, I suppose I also admire the willpower and determination of Genghis Khan.

Corbet is almost as dismissive as Lennart himself of the life-disruptive bugs real people encounter due to Lennart's approach to software engineering and project management. "It has bugs? It's software" This attitude is positively correlated with the amount of hate systemd (and pulseaudio) have gotten over the years.
Nuclear weapons are a good example of IP theft though. Russia stole plans from the US for nuclear weapons to get ahead. The US literally executed people for their role in it.
I find .NET Core to be much better than Django. EF Core is great and mature.

The admin interface isn't built in, but the C# ecosystem is huge, and you can easily find one that suits your needs.

When considering language usability, safety, ecosystem, stability, support, performance, and popularity together, I wouldn't use any other stack. I want to use F# or Rust, but I'm worried I won't be able to hire enough people who know them already.
With all due respect, that fails the weasel restriction test. When Douglas Adams writing can be said to be sufficiently similar to the number of hoops you have to jump through to do something, you have a problem.

When you have to go so far out of your normal mode of interacting with a device such that the User has to tear apart developer documentation to figure out how to do something with a device they allegedly own because the maker of the OS also just happens to be the primary disseminator of software written for the platform and would prefer that pesky developers would refrain from threatening their data collection/revenue model, there's a problem.

All the alternative install paths fail every semblance of the non-techie/Grandma usability test. This is not acceptable. No one but the User should be in such a position of power over what can or should be runnable on a User's device. When you throw so many hurdles in front of a user to prevent them from executing their prerogative to run what they wish, that's called malicious engineering.

Google/Alphabet is rapidly reaching the point where anti-trust mechanisms need to be brought to bear. This type of anti-consumer behavior was the same type of thing Microsoft was pinged for. Google/Alphabet should not get a free pass in this regard.
> Is it just me, or is such a phrase applicable to Apple far too many times in the past several years?

Couldn't the same statement be made about Facebook, Google, Yahoo, and other very large tech companies too?

When a company has a billion users, pretty much any huge flaw is going to have a very wide reaching impact.
The only downside is that they won't let you uninstall Facebook from it.

All jokes aside the specs for this thing look great. 15.6" and 4k. I want to see this in production laptops ASAP.
Well that's a silly and expensive policy. It means that people take long vacations as they're leaving -- but they haven't quit yet, so the company's still on the hook for employment taxes and health insurance. It'd be cheaper for them to just pay it out and then get the employee off the payrolls.
I am ok with that for reasons sensitive people cannot accept.
But the laymen, like most techies, don’t like ads and thus will want to use add blockers. Thus they will be trained by their fellow tech folk to ignore those warnings which will decrease the effectiveness of other warnings.

With many user hostile and invasive solutions, browser makers should take a stronger stance on clearing all local data simultaneously (cookies, local storage, IndexedDB, etc.). If someone wants a resilient client side data store, apps are one solution. Websites shouldn't be doing this or allowed to do this in a (standalone) browser.
I own one of each. They are very similar, and use the same motors & control boxes.

Jarvis upcharges for "extended range", uplift has that by default. Uplift also has a little bit more reinforcing that makes it less prone to side-to-side sway. But only just barely. Not anything that would make me buy one over the other.

We have one of each purely for aesthetics. Uplift had what I was looking for, and jarvis had what my partner was looking for.

CSS is simple.

It uses two basic constructs: rule and its selector.

Selector is SQL's SELECT/WHERE statement essentially that says:

When the element conforms this condition it has these set of properties. Any element may have multiple rules applied with matching selectors in particular order (so called CSS specificity).

And there are 20-30 basic CSS properties defining different aspects of layout and rendering.

Yes, there are 200+ other properties (and counting) in the full set. But that's for Jedii and merely 10-20 of us who are in business of creating layout engines.

It used to be more of us but the ones from MS are lost for the Republic - all their events were bubbled up onto the Dark Side.
I agree with that. But at the same time, systemd makes assumptions that I don’t think it should.

Case in point: I deal with several clusters that use Stanford Central LDAP for account info, and our UID numbers have gotten pretty high. So much so that it overlaps the range systemd uses for dynamic service UIDs.

The biggest annoyance is that the UID range is hard-coded, so I can’t provide an alternate range.

I grew up in India. I remember elder folks in my family talking about how the "water" of a place made people different. And that if you moved to that place, slowly you'd become like them too. They attributed certain characteristics (aggressiveness, smartness, etc.) to the "water" of a place.

Now, of course, this had no scientific basis. But it would be interesting if what they thought was the "water", was actually the microbial composition of the traditional water sources there.

> This means, even if you're not using exceptions yourself, the compiler still needs to generate code to catch an exception after every function call, run all destructors in reverse order, and then rethrow the exception.

For every non-inlined function call (or one that it otherwise knows additional information about, e.g. with LTCG). For C++, this is a very big difference, since idiomatic C++ has a lot of inlined functions.
I think most people are very willing to do things simply for the sake of improving the world as long as it doesn't mean giving up their quality of life. Many people offer help for free, pick up rubbish they didn't drop and work on improvements for things we all benefit on. The only problem we have currently is many people are busy with menial work to maintain their quality of life.

I think the solution is potentially a mix of automation providing cheap resources to everyone and government funding for useful research.
Facetime calls are end to end encrypted so I doubt a modified client would work.

You only need as many DOM nodes as it takes to cover the viewport.

You can style them such a way that updates do not cause re-layout, except for auto-sized cells.
I’m not sure about the situation at Apple, but this is 100% true in the web development world today; with the exception that many of the new programmers hired straight out of General Assembly and the like can’t implement a DFS algorithm either.

Since when was China's image in the United States ever great? It's one racist yellow peril after another since the 1800's.

The undertone to all of this handwringing has always been the racist assumption that the Chinese cannot possibly be capable of succeeding in a fair competition, and therefore there must be fraud involved. All said and done, people always find evidence of what they insist on believing in the first place.

We don’t know how to build secure software. I would compare to medicine where we simply don’t know how to cure certain diseases right now. Or maybe how long it took us to build cars that weren’t a death trap (e.g. hoods used to not crumple on impact, having the unfortunate effect of moving backwards as an entire unit and decapitating the driver).

Now that being said, a lot could be done if we followed best practices (which can be extremely
simple at times), but even that is often not enough. At my job there are times where I don’t know what the most secure configuration value is even after hours of research.

We’ll see this divide more and more. The US, which has the most “rockstars” of the Engineering world, will become highly secure. Other countries, not being home to the biggest computer companies in the world or not in perhaps a form of cyber NATO, will suffer just as they have in healthcare unless action is quickly taken to discover how to and then make software secure for all.
You're acting as if all of this is deliberate and planned. I'll give you a hint, it isn't. Everything is not going to be ok. The responsibility of these problems is societal ignorance. I'll give you another hint, that isn't going to get any better.

This isn't going to end well...
