There is some truth to your point. And now think about using TypeScript, that gives you the edge right from the beginning. :)

I can assure you, that you want a somewhat stable software basis when the traction hits your software product. It is extremly hard to fix (dumb) bugs during those times. Certain edge case bugs suddenly become not so edgy bugs due to more customers using your product.

For me it is an anti-pattern nowadays not using TypeScript or even React/Angular.
Still, studying only 31 languages and argue that something is universal is dumb as heck. Given there are 6000 of them safer approach would be the search for almost universal or widely distributed phenomena.
True, they could include a link to how to be come a local agent in their 'rejection' letter. Municipal stuff like that tends to be easy to figure out, ie knowing someone who works at a library.
To clarify: NSO is a private company, mostly owned by US firm. The involvement of "Israel" in whatever NSO is doing is as follows:

1. As a vendor of security sensitive products, any NSO deal would be approved by Israel's MOD.

2. They naturally employ loads of secret service "graduates" because it's good for business.

Consequently, calling an apparently clumsy NSO employee "an Israeli spy" comes across as kind of fake news.
Not to say there aren't Israeli spies in NY, I just don't think he's one of them.
> It's part of a broader class of heuristic I've been noticing recently (again, still a very preliminary, low-confidence model): things like "lack of reliable, quality devtools" and "inability to customize interfaces" bother highly-productive engineers more than less-productive ones, which is what you'd expect given that inefficient interfaces to their work has a far greater cost to the former. Along these same lines, if (eg) you're already pretty bad at understanding complex systems by reading code, you're much less likely to notice or care about how much more difficult dynamic typing makes this.

I think for me it is the other way around actually: I believe I'm worse than the average programmer at keeping complex states in my head, thus I push heavily for high quality code and tools to reduce the times I have to fight through particularly nasty debugging / refactoring sessions .
I think it's cooler for people who actually create and hack hardware. There's a level of play and tinkering that you probably never ever experience in an apple store.

Looks like Freeman Dyson was a co author. Interesting document — it challenges the notion (which is not realistic, but is still believed) that if the US had just been more ruthless, it could have bombed the North Vietnamese sufficiently to “win” the war.
Yup. Make it an extra step after confirming my account is closed.

Being given an option grant does not expose you to downside. Exercising the grant can result in a loss, sure, but exercising is not necessary to have exposure to upside.

As the OP points out though, 90 day windows force you to exercise (and be exposed to downside) or forfeit your upside.

This is the exact rationale I expect experienced developers (at least the ones I'm capable of recognizing) to have -- I look for architecture, solutions, and tools that make it impossible for me to make mistakes, instead of trying to rely on having tons of discipline. Pay the cost once, then never worry about it again.

No one ever talks about it, but one of the most valuable things I've learned to start doing is writing pre-push (and sometimes pre-commit) hooks into my projects, adding the corresponding `dev-setup` or whatever command to put them in place, and running linting & unit/integration tests before every commit/push. You could solve the problem of committing/pushing buggy code by just "writing better code", but with this methodology that problem completely evaporates.

I recall having a leg of my flight cancelled for mechanical issues. They sent the entire plane full of people to the ticket agent and somehow they miraculously found planes for everybody on the next two flights, same day, same airline.

A few of us commented on how convenient it was that the plane needed maintenance and three flights on the same route were only 2/3rds full. What are the odds, he asked sarcastically.
The problem is core CS subjects don’t train you enough to do that. You would have to learn that from somebody who already is an expert and that maybe a little out of reach for a lot of people. I have been wanting to hack hardware but I haven’t had any guidance yet about what/how to proceed and debug. Looks like abstractions have gotten complicated enough for somebody to necessarily ignore how it works under the hood lest modifying the behaviour.

The Chinese market is so huge, CRRC could sell literally nothing outside of China and still be the biggest rail company in the world. The fear is that they could leverage their massive size to win contracts below cost until their competition is bankrupt. But in my opinion if you want to prevent a Chinese company from taking over the European market this way, the correct course of action is not creating a de-facto monopoly in Europe, but instead structuring contracts so that local companies are preferred. That is probably not necessary before CRRC has a significant chunk of the international market, if it is even necessary at all.

Investing as much in rail infrastructure as China currently does wouldn't hurt either.

Four Trends Which Will Change the Face of Recruitment in 2019
Bare with me while we go down a small rabbit hole of Civil War rosters.

Taking the only available information from the article--that being the two doll's names--I did the first thing I could think: Search the roster of soldiers during the Civil War to see if there the names 'Nina' and 'Lucy Ann' have any significance. Turns out there are only two matches for those names, both of which who are (possibly) females.

A. First we'll look at 'Nina.'

1) Only name who came up with this search was Nina Casting.

1a) Nina was a Confederate

1b) Nina was enlisted as a Private in the company E, 42nd Infantry based out of Alabama (1862-1865).

1c) 42nd Infantry only known battle which involved casualties was a 7 day battle in Resaca, Georgia of May 1864.

1d) 42nd Infantry mustered out almost exactly one year after the GA battle in April 1865.

1e) Final location of Nina Casting is unknown.

B. Next we have Lucy Ann.

1) She is matched to the only known name of Lucy Ann Cox.

1a) It is noted that Lucy Ann was following her husband James Cox.

1b) Lucy Ann's enlistment is listed as "Laundress." This is due to her responsibilities being "doing laundry for the regiment and sharing the toils, dangers and privations."

1c) Lucy Ann was enlisted in the A company, 30th Infantry of Virginia with her husband enlisting in April 1861.

1d) After 3 years in his enlistment, James was wounded and had his thumb amputated in June 1864.

1e) James Cox deserted his company on Feb 14 1865.

1f) Lucy Ann Cox died on Dec 17 1891.

Yes, that's true of all languages.

Those Sami languages are endangered not so much because of their absolute number of speakers as because you can't get anywhere by speaking them. Languages like that tend to die out in favor of more useful ones.

If all the Finns were wiped out and nobody could go into Finland, the Sami would thrive and so would their languages.
I think quitting is enough to signal you won't accept that kind of treatment. I don't think other people will treat you better as a result of adding a "fuck you" when you quit. I think it's more likely to make you look like the villain rather than the one who was being mistreated.

Being dependent on ads to make a profit is a bar business model, when ads are so easily blocked, and have often served as a vector for malware attacks. Especially when you just put your stuff up for free in the first place. It doesn't entitle you to compensation.

I feel absolutely no obligation to support a deeply flawed business model. That's why I block all ads now and forever, and do my utmost to block any online tracking. I will never whitelist a single ad, because advertising is nothing but lies, designed to steal my time, attention and money.

I do not support the "hidden payment" that advertising represents, because it is dishonest and the terms of the deal are opaque. I prefer content creators who are upfront about their funding needs and use services like Patreon or direct donations or merch sales.
I'm almost certain that you're hitting a cache when you load this site (I'm getting a 40ms ping to news.ycombinator.com, which would leave about 30ms to render a page here, and these pages are complex enough that the DB query would be more than 30ms). Caching is a thing you can do with Rails, you know...

Look, I spend a fair amount of time looking at the performance monitoring tools for the Rails apps I deal with. Ruby execution time just isn't that big of a deal most of the time. And when you have a monster of a page and it is an issue, you use caching, like you do with every other language/framework.
Technically, I think that they can do that. That’s what the fork button is for. However, if they are willing to alienate graphics enthusiasts, they wouldn’t be getting any respect.

I don’t want to settle for Intel GPU, because I have a clearly superior GPU available (Nvidia). I don’t want to settle for X, because I have a clearly superior API available (Wayland). I have a 4k OLED display, because if it is there, why settle for something worse? I realize that enthusiasts are rare, but it’s us who help iron out the bugs for the newest hardware, and it is sad to see such an alienating attitude from fellow cutting-edge developers.
I’m not sure why this is downvoted - this is absolutely true.

NSO is a private company who is US owned and at odds with the Israeli government often.

As an Israeli I’m pretty confident Israel would not send spies in order to do things related to NSO’s private business.

If anything - these are US spies and not Israeli ones. It just doesn’t make sense for Israel to do this.

Not that Israel doesn’t do shabby spywork or it’s ethically above this - just not for NSO.
Not that I'm defending the title, but would "the Raspberry Pi store is much cooler than a Samsung Store" sound better? No, because samsung stores are far less common and iconic.

This post on the forums [0] is the best answer I've read yet.

They sell the Pi Zero (W) at such a low price to promote the platform for educational and non-commercial purposes. However, the margins are so low at that price that they cannot afford to sell in bulk. They apparently do offer bulk buys (>500 [1]) at higher prices.

The few options to buy multiple are to buy kits (which basically pass that bulk pricing in the form of overpriced accessories), or at a higher price (e.g. I see $22 on Amazon), or be very patient and keep ordering.

"Tax" may indeed be the right word. You pay something up front, and in return you get benefits that tend to outweigh the costs, and which would be even more expensive to pay for directly. I say that as a seasoned dynamic typer, who finds himself wishing frequently that the X3J13 standardized optional typing in Common Lisp a bit more.
If it's easy to scale your application servers horizontally, then language execution speed isn't very critical. Speed is critical for the things which are hard to scale (like your data store).

And everyone is coming at this conversation like caching isn't a thing that you do on any high-traffic site (and lots of low-traffic ones too).

Not to mention the savings account on the side you have to start building to buy your options when you resign! I never factored that in until I realized I had to come up with $15k on the spot to quit if I wanted to take my options with me. Now I know and am prepared, but for 24 year old me fresh out of college leaving my first startup job, that was a tough realization.
How are they going to afford the rent and salaries? Besides being very niche, their margins must be very low.
That's crazy. If you don't mind me asking, why did your application get denied?
It just means they’re memorable — being the “best” is more questionable — a lot of good things never see high popularity outside of niche groups, and might be remembered in that niche but forgotten by the public at large; a lot of bad things are remembered, sometimes because they were bad, sometimes because they coincided with other events.

But in general, time is a pretty good filter for quality (you’ll miss some good stuff, but if you only look at the culturally remembered stuff, you’ve still probably got a lifetime of good media)
You spend more time reading code than writing code. Something like 80/20; forgive me since I cannot point to a study. Sure more types will mean _more code_ but isn't it nice that code is now explicitly typed; for you to read and understand more?

If anything, I think types reduce stress :D
Nvidia doesn’t try to sabotage OS. They just don’t want to support existing APIs that the rest of the OS community uses, because they already have a similar API, readily available for everyone. The same problem is with Wayland developers — they already have an API that Intel and AMD agreed to use, and they do not want to make a special case for Nvidia. These kind of questions are resolved by asking oneselves who is having greater adoption — Nvidia or Wayland.

Why the downvote?

1. Unites flight was not overbooked. They wanted to put some of their own employees on this flight. This has nothing to do with overbooking.

2. Law stats that you can deny boarding if a flight is overbooked. Let someone on board and then throw him off the plane was definitely not within the scope of the law, even should the flight have been overbooked. Try to tell this to the authorities, "we let more people on board than seats available and had to remove some..". Good luck with that.

So based on 1 and 2 the airline was wise to settle with the guy ASAP since throwing him off the plane had nothing to do with overbooking, nor was it in any way covered by law.

Proof that you are an idiot. Downvote this :-)
Interesting observation. Any theories on why? As someone who has consumed but not written much by way of schedulers I’d be keen to hear thoughts.
The great thing about anyone who's working in their trade more than five years that you can actually ask them "what were the most interesting projects you worked on" and get a meaningful response. I would ask him about the experiences of what you just listed here and go with the flow. Also you may want to read about CAR (context action result) interview method to have a better understanding how should you structure your questions about these topics.

What was the worst problem erformance wise he had to overcome? What was the largest team he ever supervised, why did he get in that position? If you talk about these kind of questions for a good hour or two you already will feel something about this person. You then have to transorm this feeling to a yes or no as a team. As he will be your future mentor and technical leader I would interpret the "yes,but..." And "no, but..." Answers as "no".
Japan is interesting though because society hasn’t collapsed, people there still have a high quality of life. The main issue they seem to have is the government took on too much debt. Whether that is a problem is questionable because most of it is held by the Japanese.

I think if we look at it another way, you're going to find that this spaghetti dependency graph is the natural state of every codebase.

When people need to do a thing that has already been done a 1000 times there are at least 3 ways:

(1) write it yourself

(2) copy/paste someone else's code

(3) import/vendor someone else's code

(1) is definitely not a sustainable choice, especially for something that is frequently done.

The real interesting bit here is that I think (2) is just a shitty version of (3). You inherit the benefits and the bugs of the code you copy/pasted, and likely understand that code less than (1), which is increasingly true the more nuanced (and probably performant/good) the code is.

I think the question is whether you can see your spaghetti dependency graph or not, and how big the strands of spaghetti are. It's reasonable but likely pointless to argue about the size of spaghetti.

JS's library ecosystem lays bare the actual nature of bazaar-style development. The thing about cathedrals is that they take a while to build, and even then without the right people you can build bad ones -- JS's alignment to the bazaar style of doing things is key to it's iteration speed, and is it's best tether to the UNIX model.

All that said, not having packages be immutable from the get-go, and willy-nilly updating of dependencies without manual review are indeed problems with the ecosystem, with immutable packaging being the only one anyone can actually fix with code.
