The computer science program I went through also had a capstone project requirement. It was administered by a faculty member who was not super engaged. (To be fair, most of the students were also not super engaged.)

I have mixed feelings about the process. We had very limited support and education about the tools we were expected to use. (At that time, my program taught nothing about source control, nothing about web services.) They pretty much just said, "Go build a cool app on top of Sharepoint" and let the four of us spin for a year.

I learned a fair bit, but I also learned that in the college team project atmosphere, folks are gonna get carried and you'll be graded on the total possible output of four people.

Would I have preferred it to a massive test at the end of the year? 100% yes. Trying to build something practical was a great experience. I learned a ton that wasn't covered in my classes. I just wish I had more support/mentorship/pair programming along the way.
There's no chance whatsoever that Stadia will be lower-latency than Steam's in-home streaming.

No matter how good Google's CDN network is, you can't compete with sub-1ms in-network round trips. There's not really any clever "latency compensation" you can do here.

Even if you rewind state to apply input, which games probably won't support anyway, that still only helps you close the gap added by internet latency. A gap that in-home doesn't even have in the first place.
The biggest hypocrisy is when a company that's actively and aggressively trying to monetize the open source project, with ambitions to go public, shame companies like Amazon and Microsoft for doing the exact same thing.

And they talk about how it harms the development community...exactly how does it harm the average OSS developer if Amazon or Microsoft or Google are adopting the project and making it easier to deploy in cloud scenarios?

Seems like a 'have your cake and eat it too' scenario. These companies benefitted from massive adoption thanks to open source being developer friendly and free, yet they want it to be just restrictive enough that only their company can monetize it.
Cruel but brilliant.
I think one of the main issues is it being a purely commission sale. I suspect that makes it easy for the principals to ignore the cost in their thinking but it makes the time investment riskier for the agent, which they have to balance against fee size etc.

Perhaps a better system would be a base fee + (lower) commission, and commission based on concrete sales target rather than market value...
The merits of unionization aside, I don't understand how Kickstarter is referred to as a major tech company. There are only 140 ish people listed on The Verge site.
This feels like RequireJS all over again...

>It'll never happen so long as there are "gamers" who want to work in the industry they "love", unfortunately.

Judging by the gamer-centric media, it seems like most of them hate the industry and most of the major companies in it. They love small developers, they love making games, they love their Twitch streamers, but they hate the companies with a burning passion.

Unfortunately, that passion often gets channeled into harassing women and minorities instead of going anywhere productive.
1) Yes, these speak the common ActivityPub protocol.

2) It's purposeful specialization. PeerTube is a video hosting service, Funkwhale is a music hosting service, GetTogether is an event hosting service. No idea what services provide online document services - they likely aren't ActivityPub-compatible.

3) Ask the administrator of your instance. The Fediverse, of which PixelFed is part, is composed of a mesh of networked instances.

A programmer walk-out is way worse. The Bus Factor is a real thing. Hire a new team to replace the old one on a complex project and it'll be months or years before they start doing anything productive. Making things worse, bit-rot is real and threatens existing software with failure if complaints aren't addressed.
> instead of profiting from the surplus value created by the employee

Why wouldn't the employee work for themselves if they expect the full surplus of their value to go to them? I mean, it's not like the company is a charity, right? It's designed to be profitable for it's owners.
Yup, families don't downsize when things get hard. It's materially profitable for employers to attempt to erase class consciousness as much as possible, to the detriment of the workers.
I think you're spot on regarding the free/open-access platform inviting this kind of thing. I don't know if there really is a feasible solution - maybe a delayed-broadcast setup where a human moderator reviews each feed/view? Also maybe automatically have a human attach and watch feeds that are spontaneously getting popular without a clear reason, etc.

I've read some folks floating the thought of requiring a Gov ID to livestream, etc. I am not in favor of this.

How would that stop a psycho like this? He wouldn't care if you knew his real id. He would just pretend to be docile / normal until the second he starts broadcasting his horrible intentions.
To say that psychedellics cause a deviation from normalcy would be correct. But if you're making that out to be a problem, than you have to support why normalcy is good and deviation from that is bad.
Isn't that also what people say about code camps?

So basically the whole idustry builds on "learn signaling, get a job with it, then learn what actually to do"?

Hollywood unions set wage and salary floors and generally focus on work-place conditions. Individuals are allowed to and encouraged to negotiate their salaries above that floor if they're talented enough to have the market power to do so.

Programmer unions could copy the Hollywood model--salary floors, with no caps on salary negotiated by so-called "superstar" programmers.

It would be valuable to provide some sources for your claim, because as-is this reads like propaganda.

Perhaps the causation is reversed, and industries with terrible working conditions and low raises tend to attract unions to empower the workers to change those conditions?

Yeah, I've never quite understood the value proposition of that fee myself. Between that and the gatekeeping that happens to become an agent, it seems like it's a bit inflated and held up by tradition.

At least the iBuyers like Opendoor provide a service whose value I can see, even if it might not apply to every individual. Having someone else take on the hassle of dealing with shady vendors and house showing, repair negotiations and flaky buyers, while letting me move out cash-in-hand whenever I want? I get that.. especially after experiencing my good friends hit every one of those nightmares themselves, ending up having to waste thousands on AirBnB's after contractor issues left them without either home for months.
> The biggest boosts in my salary came when I left a job. When I left Scotland I was like, Hey, I'm leaving Scotland. This has been great, thanks for everything. But they were like, Wait, wait, wait, do you wanna keep working remotely?"

TL;DR:

1. Become indispensable at a day job.

2. Tell them you are quitting and moving to _INSERT_LOW_COST_OF_LIVING_PLACE_HERE ( and be ready to follow through )

3. Wait for counter offer for 100% remote.

4. Rinse and repeat every few years.

> Registrations are closed.

I think the lack of a common name/URL is the biggest problem that is preventing federated open source social networks from gaining mass popularity. I remember when identi.ca came out as an alternative to Twitter. It seemed like it was starting to gain some traction, then they switched to pump.io and closed registrations. I haven't heard of anyone using either since. Look at Diaspora, that never took off either. You might convince someone to try it out, they'd go to the website and it'd be too complicated for them. "Which pod do I choose?" Then they would just go back to using Facebook and Twitter.
I think a Falun Gong association was my initial assumption (don't really remember now, to be honest), but I was already quite familiar with the significant push behind the Epoch Times, which tends to wear its anti-Chinese-government stance rather more on its sleeve in the form of headlines.

Of course on the other end of things there's China Daily so... maybe not such a helpful data point.

Prototool v1.4.0 Released
That's like saying that a guard is doing nothing because no one's trying to break in.

No, the guard is a check that deters burglars form taking advantage of you. After a burglary is too late to bring guards on board, and after dramatic unmerited changes in the terms of employment is too late to start a union -- or, at least, later than you'd like.

(Not commenting on whether the union will actually work as I've described, just trying to spec out what a reasonable union would look like here, and refute the idea that it's "doing nothing" when the union has a good deal that lasts.)
Well, shit.

I don't understand why they're so bullish on this. They've tried to get rid of the single-transaction model before. I just don't get it. All they're going to do is give more money to paypal, at the expense of the creators and themselves.
Yeah there very much is a preserve the status quo in US unions.

I've seen a lot of "Feel free to learn new skills" / "But no way are we going to let them be a requirement / judged for advancment because that would be bad for those with seniority who don't want to learn it...." type policies.

And if you're in a related field outside the union... you're just hosed, and unions are surprisingly not interested in growing in to closely related areas at times even if their PR says otherwise. I suspect those areas are dealt away with in the negotiations.
It is but it’s not like production ready.
This was my experience as well. I've bought two homes and both times we found it ourselves. Used the real estate agent friend of a family member (there's always one) to show us a couple houses and relay offers, but I never felt like they did something I couldn't have done myself. I went along to both home inspections and found things the inspector missed. At all 3 closings (buying and years later selling the first house, buying second house) I've been sitting there in a room full of people sighing and tapping their feet while I read all the paperwork they want me to sign and all three times I've caught mistakes, two of which were several thousand dollars in the other party's favor. All in all it's not just the realtors that are doing mediocre work to extract a percentage, but a whole industry (agents, inspectors, title companies).

I couldn't agree more that selling my house by myself was also a breeze. Maybe the experience is different in a down economy. I paid a flat $175 fee to a website for an MLS listing (which farmed the listing out to an agent in our MLS region 5 hours away) plus the 3% buyers agent fee and people started calling. I'm not a great photographer but I took pictures that were 100X better than a realtor walking around with a cell phone and put the Zillow "zestimate" as the listing price because I did a lot of research and took an honest look at my house and couldn't come up with a reason to go higher or lower. I definitely got the "will you pay my fee" calls despite already putting the buyer's agent fee on the MLS listing. As an experiment I tried to negotiate that with an agent and I realized that wasn't going to go anywhere. The only annoying part of the process was the buyer's agent clumsily slipping in some clauses in the contract that would have made it a terrible deal for me.

If anyone is reading this and wants to try going without an agent I'd recommend asking a friend who recently closed on a house to see their contract. That will help you spot any tricks an agent is trying to slip past you.
If the query was expensive and could be run periodically, I'd either create a materialized view that gets refreshed as often as necessary (maybe by https://dockyard.com/blog/2017/11/29/need-an-elixir-dependen...) or use a GenServer process for caching that data (as you might do with Redis otherwise).

I don't think the view rendering itself would ever be a performance issue, but rendering a view is just a function call in Phoenix, so I could take a similar approach there - store it in a GenServer.

The advice is outdated because it is entirely possible for Windows machines to be secured well enough for this work. Windows security, like Linux security, is not a binary state with either a zero for no security or a one for security.

They did not accept crippling ransomware by using Windows. Nobody does. This attitude is fatalistic and somewhat juvenile.

They may have implicitly accepted crippling ransomware by not having sufficient internal security processes.

>Further acting is older than gaming, and those unions were given space to form during a period of time that was very different from today.

In the 1930s back when union organizing was likely to get you beaten by goons or assassinated by hitmen/the mob? Or in the 1940s and '50s, when active membership in the union put you at risk of getting brought up in front of the House Unamerican Activities Committee and blacklisted from ever working again?

Horrible School District!? MDUSD isn't all that bad, is it? Granted it's been a while since I was there.

YV isn't College Park, sure, or De La Salle, but it ain't Mount Diablo.

I guess things have changed then.

Also, 600 for that house is a bit of a steal. My folks live across 680 in PH, and the house next door just went for 950 a year ago.

In the end, all these comments are just dancing around the real issue: Prop 13. Nothing will make sense in CA housing until Prop 13 is revoked and the inevitable wild swings in the housing stock then settle down.

EDIT: Ok, that's right, I forgot. YV is like 4 blocks from De La Salle. So, they take all the good students and leave all the rest of the 'poor' students to go to YV. I forgot. If you look at all the other High Schools in the area, they're all 8/10 or 9/10.
If there’s an industry-wide closed-shop union and it votes for seniority pay then I’m out of luck. It’s replacing tyranny of the employer with tyranny of the majority.

Total waste of time and $.
(disclaimer: also Brazilian, even if I don't live in Brazil anymore)

I have mixed experience with unions in Brazil, the fact that they are mandated makes it almost like a scam, a part of your wages go towards union contributions but rarely do you get anything out of that. Most directors at unions are in it for political powers as the bigger unions are major players in politics(as seen that our ex-president is a former unionist).

On one hand, unions can provide negotiation power, specially in class action suits, including unfair dismissal. But most of the time I've seen unions collude with companies and associations to provide underwhelming benefits and wages that are below inflation.

In some cases such as medicine and dentistry they are solid credentials of many professionals and I take it as mostly positive.

In the case of engineering it should follow the same as the engineer's union is a very strong powerhouse that requires quite high minimum wages for engineers(IIRC 8.5x the national minimum wage). However this has led many companies to use a loophole where engineers are hired with a different job title, performing the same job, just so that they don't have to pay that minimum, while sometimes even requiring that said engineer is registered with the union. As computer science is not engineering, even though some computer engineers are qualified as such, I've never met a programmer that has a proper engineer contract.
Eh, probably to some degree, but at least anecdotally for me, "new game from FTL dev" got me to watch the trailer, but the concept is 100% what hooked me.

Possibly because we've never yet had fair, and reasonable management.
My experience is the IRS telling me I owe them $20,000, me calling them three separate times and having estimated wait times of over 3+ hours each time, finally just giving up turning it over to my accountant, who charged me $400 to find out that in fact the IRS owed me $3,000. So I dunno, to me I think it's a pretty good comparison, but obviously from the other replies mileage varies.

Streaming may have a place in the future, but if it's the only option, then consider me a full-time retro gamer.

I already despise the fact that the masses voted to kill ownership of games, and now it's going straight to killing "rental licenses" as well, putting all of the power of entertainment and commerce in the hands of, essentially, two companies: Google and Amazon.

Similar attitude toward employees and even customers is spread across companies: there are always a near infinite number remaining.

Because people aren't the perfectly rational automatons portrayed in most economics lessons, which has implications for both adversaries.
If there is no market collusion or abuse of monopoly, than there is absolutely no way it makes economic sense to withhold properties from the market to inflate the market. If you have a minority market share you won't be able to make up for the lost revenue, because the majority of the rent inflation is just going to be recognized by the other parties.

I wonder if there's any benefit in representing numbers as pairs forming a ring, with some pair arbitrarily designated as 0. This would only work for very small numbers due to being memory wasteful (although the implementation could try to optimize); but on the other hand, CAR/CDR become increment and decrement, and you get wraparound for free.
Just because your friend didn't see the benefits doesn't mean he didn't have them.

Kroger union members have health care benefits, dental and vision benefits, and other benefits that they wouldn't normally get with a minimum wage job. Protections against forced and unpaid overtime (while allowing for voluntary, paid overtime).

Hell, the fact he got paid minimum wage in the first place--since unions were, and still are, the big drivers behind minimum wage (and raises to minimum wage) in the US.
Lots of people today travel faster than 220mph between LA and SF; they take airplanes. The point is to take pressure off the airspace because it's already close to capacity, not to mention the visibility issues at SFO that mess things up all the time. And of course flying is terrible from a CO2 emissions perspective.
What would be the benefit? I really don't see the point. Employees collectively demamding something from their employer, that I understand, but why create a new directive structure above the whole industry?
