Just thought I'd add that you'll not only be in demand as a developer but probably very much as a product manager - especially for startups looking for product / market fit.

How much data do you sync? I'm syncing 60 GB with NextCloud and it annoys me frequently: every time I log in it spends 5 minutes scanning my data, pegging at least one core of CPU and using up a lot of my I/O capacity. And of course at a pretty annoying time, since I almost always want to be actually using my machine during the first 5 minutes after logging in. And I'd really like to be syncing more data. Anyway, wondering if syncthing does better in this respect.

Because learning a real thing that can help you will probably take 3 to 6 years and has a relatively high risk of failure. In that same time frame you can play a hundred different games each with a unique experience.

FWIW, I've been using it and had zero issues.

This was done today, see Snowden or Manning. It did move the needle on discourse, see public outrage. What it did not do is produce significant reprimands for those responsible, see Clapper lying to Congress or the CIA breaking into Congressional computers with no result. The conclusion is that the security state has better control over the legislature than it did 50 years ago.
100% agree with this, a lot of the rules exist to cover the common case. The common case isn't your situation, so they may empathize with you. Industry experience is also important as @CydeWeys pointed out.
Reality is almost nobody wants to wear VR headsets, and that's going to take a while for VCs to admit that.
I have no idea what you're talking about. Under what circumstances is Dart AOT compiled and run untrusted? No browsers support Dart as a first-class citizen. If you're talking about compiling Dart into JS, that's obviously not what anyone is talking about.

There are no Ecmascript AOT compilers. By definition, Ecmascript must be run with an interpreter. AFAIK with the dynamic complexity of the language it's impossible to AOT compile even without things like `eval` and `new Function`.

A better example would be NaCl which as I understand it runs native machine code in a sandbox.
The data is encrypted on your client before it leaves your computer. You're relying upon the servers to hold onto your ciphertext (i.e. availability), but not to keep it secret (confidentiality). And the client can detect changes to the ciphertext, so you aren't relying upon the servers for integrity either.

You have to trust the client code, for sure, but that's something that you're at least nominally in a position to inspect and verify. https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs

The article isn't about removing all traces of Google from your site/stack. It's about removing 3rd party tracking from your site. Specifically, it focuses on removing Google Analytics.

Using Google Sheets doesn't add 3rd party tracking back in. Even if you don't trust Google to not take a look at your spreadsheet, it's unlikely anybody or anything at Google would treat your spreadsheet like analytics data.

All that being said, it is a little funny seeing them funnel the data right back into Google. Personally, I would also prefer a different storage method.
I guess nobody knows Threema (threema.ch) outside of Central Europe. The UI isn't as perfect as Whatsapp's, but close enough.

I tried to use iMessage the other day and I'm extremely surprised that a product that is used that broadly in the US is that shitty. Downsides around sending voice messages (which I do frequently):

- You must hold the stupid button to record

- If you record and turn your phone, the recording button gets obviously relocated away from your thumb and the entire message is just discarded. Gone. How such a bug could escape Apple is beyond me.

- There is no way to scroll through a voice message. I send and receive 10 minute messages occasionally and if you interrupt the listening, you have to start all over again.
> where everything about the primaries was pre-cooked

One, maybe two things, ISTR, no?
I bootstrapped a VR company (1) after leaving a high paying CMO job. I put in around $100k, we released three games, one got some funding from HTC, we were shown at GDC, SIGGRAPH, VRLA, etc. We hit around 2,700 MAU before my co-founder tapped out after no salary for two years.

I took six months off from VR to go back to a normal job that paid well. That got acquired (in a very non-meaningful way, at least for me) in December and I’ve been drawn back to VR. Immersive computing is the inevitable next platform. Recent data(2) shows the kind of growth you’d expect and hope for at this stage.

As others have said, the Quest will be a game changer. I think an NDA says I can’t confirm or deny that I have one, but I certainly agree it is a game changer. During my six month break from VR, I didn’t have any of my half dozen headsets setup. We had turned my living room into our office prior to dismantling, so it was nice to just have my living room back to normal. Setting up my Vive again after six months reminded me of what a pain in the ass that process is. The Quest fixes all of it.

VR is not 3D TV. Anyone who has experienced both knows that to be true. AR will have a much higher install base, but VR will have an addressable market of tens/hundreds of millions.

I’ve been working on a postmortem about my VR company for a while, but can’t seem to finish it. Partially because I’m not sure if that company is over yet.

I’ve got plenty to say about VR, VR startups and VR venture, so any questions, ask away.

Sounds like what we need is property tax that charges different rates based on the use of the land: if it's a high-density condo, it should be cheap (to encourage denser living), if it's a detached single-family home, it should be a little more, if it's a parking lot, it should be extremely high (to discourage wasting land on parking lots), etc.

There's an influencer program but it's more aimed at Lan parties and other events of that nature.

I suspect that the reason you see so many Discords for subreddits is it's free, and easy. I recall few subs having IRCs which the only other option that really compared, probably because of the barrier to entry for both the user and the admin.

Reddit did launch their own chat feature. No idea if anyone uses it, I sure as hell haven't.
Any service that does the things discord does and doesn't somehow obtain a license along those lines from their users is probably in trouble. Note that it is a non-exclusive license and only grants them the rights to do those things in connection with the providing the service.

This isn't Apple cynically hiding selling your data behind your back. Back when they had Facebook integrated it was so that you could share stuff easier with your friends. Yes it was a security risk because of how Facebook used the information. That is part of the reason Apple removed the integration.
it doesn’t matter if gmail is buggy or whatnot. you have a duty to your clients and shareholders to fix the issue. in most cases this means circumventing an uncontrollable entity. in expedia’s case it means having pseudo-random email formats when requesting a password reset.

Contradicts the Google blog a little, especially where he points out that they hit performance issues with live migration (Google said it worked fine without impact on the application.)
And I have a really hard time understanding where the OP is coming from saying Chrome > FF ;)

It is odd; I don't dispute that Firefox evidently has some performance issues for some people – there are enough reports from people on varied enough hardware that I don't doubt the authenticity of what people are reporting.

But personally, for me Firefox is noticeably faster than Chrome, and I know I'm definitely not the only one.

For reference: I run Windows 10 (currently 1803) on i7-7700K/32GB with typically 20-30 tabs across multiple windows; Firefox RAM consumption can be up to 4GB after a whole day's use like that. I never find the browser slows down at all, and is always immediately snappy and responsive... whereas Chrome, in a way which is hard to quantify or describe, does feel as though it's a few milliseconds behind me sometimes.

I also find the same on my truly atrocious m3/4GB Surface though (massively regret that one, "should be alright for what I need" I thought as I reached the checkout, should have known better). Chrome quickly kills the Surface, Firefox manages to keep going far longer...

So in conclusion... I don't dispute that some people find Firefox to be slower, but I know for sure that isn't true of everyone. I have no complaints whatsoever about Firefox performance and have been using it daily for 18+ months (switched from Vivaldi... now there's a browser which has performance issues, for me at least...)
You can argue that either way.

Seeing 'this' unambiguously implies instance variable. Otherwise you have to spot the underscore and be aware of the conventions in the codebase. A good IDE should highlight class variables vs locals, though.

On the other hand code can get really messy with boilerplate like this everywhere, and I personally agree with you. Although I believe Google also promotes human-readable variables over less typing.

6 years is a short time in cryptography. That isn't battle-tested.

"Even worse, security doesn't provide immediate feedback. A dead patient on the operating table tells the doctor that maybe he doesn't understand brain surgery just because he read a book, but an insecure cryptosystem works just fine. It's not until someone takes the time to break it that the engineer might realize that he didn't do as good a job as he thought. Remember: Anyone can design a security system that he himself cannot break. Even the experts regularly get it wrong." -- Bruce Schneier

I think as long as you have a system for versioning the source code you are working on you will be fine. It's just that it will be a little more manual a process to perform (hence you might do it less often), but if it's a stable process then it should suffice.

Configuration Management isn't just about keeping your source in source control software / server somewhere, it's also about the tools, dependencies, and other artefacts that you need to build and distribute the software.

How many people take great care for the version control system but forget everything else?

This is kind of a silly argument to make. How does an end user have any way to know whether a particular behavior is a bug or intentional when the behavior is actively bad?

Recurring messages having the same title is an absurdly common pattern. Almost every service that has ever sent me a password reset email has used the same exact subject. Same goes for things like shipment notifications, order confirmations, purchase confirmations from PayPal, etc. So given this, it's kind of absurd that a MUA would be designed in a way that buries all those emails, isn't it?

Let's assume that it really is intentional that gmail buries all those messages, on some presumption that they aren't important or on a 'well fuck you, change it then' basis. There definitely are services out there that append random numbers to the end of automated emails. I always assumed this was to make it easy to sort threads by unique id, i.e. customer service systems - so maybe they've been applying an undocumented Gmail Best Practice this whole time. Assuming that this is a good feature implemented correctly, why does unread/read status not work right? If I click into a 50 email long unread thread and then click back why is it INSTANTLY marked read? How is that a useful behavior that would seem intended to anyone? Non-threaded views like in Outlook do not work this way. The common 'reply up top, history at bottom' email formatting also avoids this problem, which you'd think the gmail frontend designers would be aware of.

I would argue that both behaviors are either a bug or user-hostile design. Calling it a bug is generous to the designers because it assumes goodwill and just views it as an oversight or error in a very complex system. I'd personally be inclined to call it bad design, because Gmail is full of bad design, but there's nothing weird or bad about a user calling it a bug!

A $187M figure is super realistic to me given how often I see this particular problem affect me. It literally happens daily. Naturally, I learned years ago that gmail does this and got used to having to dig through my email history to find out where a notification went, but it's still a bad behavior and it still catches me unaware sometimes. I've missed important emails this way.

The difficulty of maintaining Inbox Zero in 2019 also combines poorly with these behaviors - when a notification for password reset or whatever gets threaded in to an email with an old date on it, it can make it harder for your brain to process what just happened.

> Big fan of land value taxes. They apply pressure to make the best use of the land rather than sitting on it.

I like that Land Value Taxes hurt anyone hoarding land to ride the rising assessments (which is a major problem today). But I don't like that LVT punishes people for productively using land. Land Value Taxes apply pressure to make the highest capital return on every piece of land, which is not the same thing as the best use of the land, and would hurt many good uses of land that are not profitable.

> In a city, you're more dependent on the government to take care of things, and in most US cities, with single party control, it does not happen.

Yep. And what's worse, most cities intentionally want to make all of these things worse.

Cities are often intentionally destroying their infrastructure (tearing down useful-but-unloved infrastructure for useless-but-pretty replacements) and intentionally destroying their affordable housing (purposefully gentrifying areas of their cities, to drive out residents deemed undesirable)

The cycle of driving people out of the city by attacking housing/transportation/services is not an accident, it's not happenstance. This is an intentional design goal baked into how they frame every problem and how they approach every change. It's not something anyone will admit to upfront, but if you travel through Urbanist circles long enough, you can get into the behind-doors conversations they have and see this in action.

> I've seen this happen over and over again with coworkers who initially were big on city living, but eventually moved out when they got mugged or had kids.

Yep. And if you escape the crime or the school problem, they'll hit you on housing or transportation instead. There's no escaping the never-ending list of problems forced upon residents.

Suburbs are the place for affordable housing. Suburbs are for functional schools. Suburbs are for sustainable living. Suburbs are for decent infrastructure. Suburbs are for diversity, especially on the low-income/working-class side of things. Suburbs are the place you begin your startup in a garage, because Suburbs are the only place cheap enough that a regular person could have a garage at all.

Cities aren't for people. Cities are for the conglomeration of capital, and capital alone. Humans need not apply.

But it externalizes its costs: it requires people to have cars, which not only costs a lot of money in direct costs (car payments, maintenance/repairs, fuel), but also has a steep environmental penalty, plus a cost in lives lost due to crashes.
Articles like this do a disservice to everyone. For starters: a Stack Overflow survey is not a random sample of all programmers - it's a sample of people who are on Stack Overflow.

A better source might be the Bureau of Labor Statistics - https://www.bls.gov/cps/demographics.htm#age - which shows

* 68% of "Computer Programmers" older than age 35,
* 45% of "Computer Programmers" above age 45.
* 29% of "Web Developers" above age 45

Most of this article doesn't hold up, but the agist part is the most egregious.

For sure, there are a bunch of reasons not to use Google Sheets. For this, it's just an easy, free, and temp way to get a new site up without needing to setup a backend.

It's not really a hard requirement for me to get off Google though, just to avoid using their ad-tech. For privacy concerns, using Google Sheets isn't all that different from using MySQL on Google Cloud, etc.
Yup. I’ve been running one for 15 years, and my maintenance might be a couple of hours every six months.
