No, don’t lie. Highlight your accomplishments.

Yes they wouldn’t be possible without the inputs of others and yet you still did something. What was it?

If you can’t answer that question then this project shouldn’t be on your resume and you shouldn’t bring it up in interviews.

Yes, you are reading the D incorrectly. `URIWithoutFinalise` has no post-blit constructor (D does not have copy constructors) and thus does nothing on copy. It does have a method called `dup` that returns a `URI`(WithFinalization), but this is not called on copy.

`URI` cannot be copied because the post-blit constructor is disabled. The default constructor is also disabled, so a "null" URI couldn't be created either.

You'll get no argument from me about not checking for failure though. Some asserts at least would be a good idea there.
I don't really understand what she's suggesting. It is easy to be sceptic, and just saying that "ya'll just wasting money". And to be honest 20b on a collider is a tiny dent on budgets we spend on, say, military.
That's one way. Another way I was thinking of while reading your comment is something along the lines of "bringing so much value for free, that eventually when they're asking for something from you, you'd feel guilty not to help".

Happened to me with an older guy whom I took advice from. He helped me a shitton without asking me. I'd often tell him "how can I help, you're offering so much free stuff to me". Eventually, he asked me to become business partners in a venture — I said yes willingly but thinking about it in retrospective, there was no way I could say no

What that means at scale could be after a product/online person helps you with a shitton of free resources/content, you'd feel guilty not to pay them back by donating to one of their fundraisers — see Wikipedia

They’re free as fuck and you’ve seen the “please donate so that we can keep it free”. I know they’ve got:

- over $80m (million dollars, yes) in donations in 2015
- assets worth around $100m in 2017
- probably even more due to anonymous donations (and if you’re donating a lot you want to be anonymous)

And I still have absolutely no damn problem with them asking for money. Yes, that’s revenue on top of which there are expenses (a huge bill, given how much they’ve got to cover).

They’re transparent, they don’t hide these figures I’ve just posted and that’s totally fine. Surely they must be in top 1000 value sources of the modern world.

I think it’s not shame that gets people to donate to Wikipedia but, if anything, guilt. I’ve helped you so much I’ll guilt you into returning it, at least to a degree. I think this is the next wave. And then everyone will be doing that (because making someone feel guilty is a flaw, somehow), it’ll be the old-school and we’ll find something new.

But hey, in the grand scheme of things, at least we all started being better by providing value

This can be frustrating for sure. Your question / post is a little light on details, so I am reading between the lines a bit here, but to some extent you'll find this everywhere, and dealing with it can be a useful skill.

Can you provide a few more details on what you mean by "management infrastructure"? Are we talking source control / build systems / JIRA workflow stuff here?

I would suggest trying to find ways to be productive yourself that don't involve changing what other people do.

Don't try to sell "ideas" and "proposals", lead by example, and if it works out people will follow.

For example, if people want to use subversion and do their development on trunk, but you want to use git with feature branches... then just do that for your local development, create and switch branches locally all you want, and then push to subversion when you're done.

If there's some dumb JIRA workflow, copy and paste the details to a text file, work on the thing, take your notes in the text file, paste it back to JIRA when you're done. You will probably find you can isolate yourself from most kinds of silliness quite well, and if you're productive doing so then others will follow.

As for your specific question, I think it's worth trying to improve things for at least a year, or maybe two, before you consider leaving. In that time, you'll probably find there are things you can change, learn that other things are actually not as easy to change as you might think, and generally build some useful experience in turning around a challenging situation.
You're correct that Nvidia proprietary driver users are unwelcome. We lay this out explicitly in our GitHub issue template, in fact. If you use that Intel GPU instead we'll get along swimmingly.
is the industrial food era about to fade ?
> to have to put in that effort to support the graphics card that most people have

FYI: most people have Intel GPUs. More than both AMD and Nvidia combined (Somewhere around 70%, AMD around 13% and Nvidia around 17%). Intel and AMD are supported, ergo for most people it works just fine. It could work with Nvidia too, if Nvidia were cooperative.
> that ATI/AMD did not write, they only contributed specs

This is a lie.

All of the main contributors for the amdgpu drivers are AMD employees. The files in drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu all have AMD copyrights in the headers.
When I was a dev lead, I would not go to lunch alone with any of my reports male or female. If I went to lunch with just the males it would seem like playing favorites and if I went to lunch with just females, it could lead to rumors and innuendos and it wasn’t worth the risk.

Honestly.. anything more than lightly processed is nothing like the original thing. We're shrinking the "informational" content of food for the sake of production rates. It was an obvious choice in early 20th centure. Now not so much.

As long as voters have to click votes in clear text on a screen, the security of the system is fundamentally screwed.

As long as voters have to enter cryptic signs instead of clear text votes, the usability of the system is fundamentally screwed.

Some technical roles require deep understanding of an extremely niche thing. It just doesn't make sense to have such a person supervise 10 junior and senior people, they wouldn't be able to do any more work than the one guy. For example I've seen a GPU optimization expert who did his PhD on GPU chip design. What sort of 'guiding' others would he be able to do? He could spend 2, 3 years teaching a team of 10 everything he knows - and then the company has 10 people but no work for all of them, and they're years later.

Of course, often in such a situation it makes more sense to bring in a consultant for this sort of specialized work, but you don't want to base the core of your product on consultants either.
Ah, so it wasn't that nobody cared about your perspective. It's that managers didn't care about your perspective.

A gem I've picked up from my experience in different kinds of tech companies: Never work anywhere where managers are the ultimate decision makers. At engineer-driven companies, managers are enablers.
Presumably the station would orbit earth, and so you'd just wait until you were over the place you wanted to visit and then head down to earth for a week, and the trip would be the same hassle no matter where you were going!
> tens of thousands of important decisions

I think of myself to be a well-informed person. I will not be able to cope with that level of decision making. Probably makes more sense to scale it up slowly, adding more and more issues to be voted as the citizens learn the consequences of their vote and are able to keep themselves informed.

But, I do not think that ever we will be taking tens of thousands of votes. That also looks like a very centralized system where all decisions are made from one place. If an issue is local it should be delegated locally.
In some defence forces there is an NCO rank above Sergeant named Staff Sergeant, is my guess.

What is the one story u want to tell, that you can never fit into a comversaton?
But wait, isn't the biggest social network the perfect example? Made it free for everyone, gathered so much attention

But when you want to advertise, you'll have to compete with so many others, hence the bidding.

One could argue the "you're the product when the product is free", true but the equality of opportunity is there. And the cost of entry is 0.
And Brave or similar programs that block ads but can intercept your web browsing wouldn’t be needed if Android had a built in content blocking framework like iOS. Ad blockers in iOS submit a JSON file to Safari that processes those rules. The third party ad blocked has no access to your browsing history.

And the one I use has a novel revenue model that doesn’t require anything shady - I give them money and they give me a product.
For comparison, for Go, it's "sudo snap refresh go". For Rust it's "rustup update stable". I mean, how hard would it be to properly package this stuff, and why should tens of thousands of users deal with all this manual downloading and unpacking? Assuming, of course, that Swift folks don't deliberately want to make the language unpolular, like Haskell.
"I find the question "what was your biggest accomplishment?" to be a frustrating one during interviews because I did so much for that previous company that I almost don't remember any of the subtle details."

It is then up to Nvidia to find a way forward, once X11 development stops. After all, they monopolized driver development for their GPUs, so when something breaks, they get to keep all the pieces.
Funny. You are advocating killing the reason that made driving the major job provider.

The Wikipedia entry for fructose[1] has this to say:

Excessive consumption of fructose may contribute to insulin resistance, obesity, elevated LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, leading to metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

So it would appear fructose does cause an insulin response.

However, it then goes on to say:

Uptake of fructose by the liver is not regulated by insulin. However, insulin is capable of increasing the abundance and functional activity of GLUT5 in skeletal muscle cells. (emphasis mine)

GLUT5 is also expressed in skeletal muscle,testis, kidney, fat tissue (adipocytes), and brain.[2]

At least on Ubuntu if you have 3rd party driver sources enabled it's literally an apt install away. Definitely not as good as being already installed like AMDGPU, but it's been pretty trivial installing NVIDIA drivers for me over the past years.

> “Provide incentive for prospects to sign up for freemium but do not provide too much value so that free version of the product is enough.”

That was a quote from another Quora answer. The article was my answer to a Quora. I found that quote corny and far from what a startup should be. It's not what I believe in.

As the article mentioned, the Spotify ads are for people who prefer paying with time. If your time that's being reaped by the ads is worth more than the $10/mo, then you're given the option to pay it.

I can't see anything wrong with what they do when looked at it from this POV. I understand where you come from, the "annoy me until I subscribe" but think about 3rd world countries where $10/mo mean way more than they mean in the US. They'd very very much rather pay with time than with currency

The pair believe that the concrete method was used only for the stones on the higher levels of the Pyramids. There are some 2.5 million stone blocks on the Cheops Pyramid. The 10-tonne granite blocks at their heart were also natural, they say. The professors agree with the “Davidovits theory” that soft limestone was quarried on the damp south side of the Giza Plateau. This was then dissolved in large, Nile-fed pools until it became a watery slurry.

Lime from fireplace ash and salt were mixed in with it. The water evaporated, leaving a moist, clay-like mixture. This wet “concrete” would have been carried to the site and packed into wooden moulds where it would set hard in a few days. Mr Davidovits and his team at the Geopolymer Institute at Saint-Quentin tested the method recently, producing a large block of concrete limestone in ten days.

I second this recommendation! I agree with the sentiment expressed by some in these comments that intermediate category theory probably isn’t going to help you too much as a programmer. However the introduction to Category Theory in “Conceptual Mathematics” caused me to understand sum types, product types, algebraic data types, finite state automata, logic, and functions as objects in a new way. Additionally “Conceptual Mathematics” isn’t arcane or inaccessible they mention in the introduction (or maybe it was a review of the book) that a motivated high school student could use the book for self study.
That makes sense to me.

What economic forces encourage companies to compete with each other instead of simply merging? I guess put another way: if maximizing profit is the ultimate goal of capitalism, and more profit can be had by merging, why doesn't everyone just merge? Are there market forces that encourage competition outside of government intervention (i.e. antitrust)?
I think you are missing some key elements.

It adds a new potential way monetize the web. Currently, the prevailing model is to offer a “free” product, where user data is being collected and sold to whoever is willing to pay.

Brave introduces the ability to pay per use and if you want to, you can opt-in to ads that are targeted based on anonymized data for targeting and you can earn BAT for doing so.

It basically changes the incentive model the ad industry and arguably a lot of the internet.
There's no dearth of places to find ex-mormon/anti-mormon info. I'm looking for documentation of that specific claim.

I did follow the links, but I didn't see anything promising.
What I was touching is when I move from a free plan to a paid plan. When the company took the risk. I know a lot of rich people who like to start lean simply for the sake of seeing proof of concept. They have millions in their bank yet they ask their cofounder to chip in £5,000 on the idea.

So the company offering the product took the risk (and the cost associated) of seeing if the idea works. But then, what I say is that they should charge enough on the premium to cover for all the freemium.

Thanks for letting me know. I was just mentioning MailChimp as the targeted audience (tech CEOs) most probably know about the freemium plan, so I didn’t feel like expanding on that.

After I noticed it caused confusion, I added some extra comments in there as well.

I appreciate it! Any lines that stood out for you?
Hi zenexer - I'm youngish, fit, and present well. Unfortunately, my hair is greying AND thinning. For years, interviewers have heard my responses while viewing my bare crown. (Barbers told me for many years, "You'll never be bald," as they used thinning shears).

Last week a hiring manager said, before introductions, before shaking hands, "This job is for 22 year olds just out of college." He shut the door, literally, seconds after.

Consider viewing your HR contacts on LinkedIn then view the "also viewed" profiles. Notice any similarities? These decision makers determine whom you will see when you interview. Thank you for wanting to see different when you visit a company.
If i were to play the devil's advocate, these "Skilled" jobs have always been on the line. Look at what Uber and Lyft have done to F.T. cab drivers in all major U.S. cities. I have been using Scoop(Bay area wide Corporate Car share app). Its only a matter of time FAANG dumps their "Google bus" in favor of their employees scooping to work by incentivizing and subsidizing it. So there goes the cushy "Google bus" driver job. Not by automation but by a variation of mass transit. In such cases, the employers have to pick up the tab by offering those "skilled" workers displaced OJT/retraining and funneling them into more "non-skilled", knowledge-based jobs. It is not going to be easy and Corporate America finally has to acknowledge its Corporate responsibility. If not Mayhem will ensue and everyone stands to lose.
Calling curl (or similar) from CL as an external program is a valid answer.

I don't think that answer makes a large and diverse 'community' of thousands of people forever 'toxic'.
I have noticed a lot of education related subscription services only offer 1 year subscriptions when I only want to try it out for a month first. I guess its because a lot of users won't continue to subscribe for the year so this way makes them more money but I end up not subscribing at all.
Is it fair to infer based on this that they are a symptom and not a cause? Or at least, not a primary cause, though their presence may crate a feedback loop?

Which MailChimp does. I know, $780/yr is a lot — but since they might help you start from 0, literally from ground level, I think it's reasonable for them to charge a lot. I don't know their niche so whether 780/yr is fair or not is up to them

But let me put it another way: if your mailing list is over 2000 people, aren't there more than $65/mo to be made, more than 8 cases out of 10?
> if something inside Emacs freezes your whole X session will become in blocked case you run Exwm

I just played around with exwm a bit, and that seems like it would be a major issue for me. I love the idea of exwm, though.

BTW, I had to run exwm under emacs26 (the first blocker for emacs25 in my case was the function string-version-lessp). The wiki[0] says that it'll work with emacs24 and greater.

I also had to install it with package-check-signatures set to nil, because my emacs couldn't verify the signature on elpa package exwm-0.22. It's possible that's a spacemacs configuration issue, or something to do with switching from emacs25 to 26.

Not exactly an unbiased report. The person responsible for hiring and running the team says she did a great job! Maybe if the gender mix had been reversed then it would have worked just as well because she is a great manager? If the take away is supposed to be that you should hire a majority of people as females, well that does not scale. If only 1 in 10 developers are female then building a 70% female team is not possible for everyone to do.
Oh, so it could be my DNS-based adblocking setup or the “Prevent Cross-site Tracking” option in Safari settings. That makes sense.

This is legally false. If a digital artist creates a painting and puts it up on their website, and you go view it, it does not become yours. The artist retains the copyright to the work, and not only is it illegal for you to then sell prints of it, but a violation of ethics, to boot.

A quick Google search returned a Wikipedia article[0] listing 49 women that were allegedly married to Joseph Smith, plus other articles detailing his marriages, so there's one good lead to follow up on.
