One of the first (and most important) lessons I learned from @eastdakota when starting at Cloudflare ~4 years ago was how to write a product announcement.

Nobody does it quite like him, though @jgrahamc is great too, and I try to encourage my team to follow the lead here as much as possible.

Mayonnaise and cheese alone probably add almost as many calories as a hamburger patty some of their burgers

Removing the patty might even make it less healthy if it doesn't satiate you as much as it would otherwise

This is still better than only having competition at the ISP level since it's easy to switch VPN's. Building a network like Cloudflare is no easy task, but neither is building a mobile network or installing fiber.

While not in itself neutral, it seems like it should help to preserve the competition that network neutrality is supposed to enable, since it's easy for small organizations to hook up with Cloudflare and they do encryption where they can.

I'm reminded of Galbraith's theory of countervailing power, which seems like a more realistic approach than always thinking in terms of centralization versus decentralization:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countervailing_power

Also, consider how companies try to commoditize their complements, which having competition at different layers tends to do:

This just shows how game changing bootcamps and the like are. People with no software background can go from no experience to a job paying 130k a year with a year of training. That's downright miraculous.

Some school districts in the bay area are doing better than San Francisco.

In the Los Gatos school district my daughter completed her first year of college level calculous and some second year calculous by the time she graduated from high school. This was better than my education as I only had access to pre calculus in my high school.

As an aside - giving kids math puzzles is a much better preparation for math than memorization. The only thing I had to memorize was the multiplication table, everything else I could derive. I could always derive a formula faster than memorizing it even at a young age. I went to school in the era of "new math" where we were introduced to functions and variables in 2nd grade.

OTOH, subsidiarity is explicitly a foundational principle of both the EU and Distributism.
Never take a code test until you speak on the phone with an engineer at the company. That way, they need to at least trade something valuable of theirs (expensive engineer time) for something valuable of yours (your time). When you adopt this policy, all kinds of B.S. magically vanishes from your life.

After all, you would never continue to try to win the affection of a guy/girl who wouldn't at least give you a first date? Why do the same for a company that can't bother to give you some of their time?
Out of curiosity, what does the data look like for the top 10 most elite colleges vs all other colleges? My guess is all other colleges combined look more like boot camp data.
It depends on local regulations, but here in Denmark, organic eggs must meet the following regulations:

-Maximum of 3000 chickens in a flock and a maximum of 6 chickens per square meter in the coops, which must allow daylight in.

-The chickens must have access to perches and nests.

-At least one third of the flooring must be loose bedding, such as straw or sand, to allow the chickens to dust bathe.

-The chickens must have all-year access to outdoor areas with at least 4 square meters per chicken. It must be covered by grass or other vegetation, and must provide shelter from wind/weather. An outdoor area must stand unused every other year, for parasite prevention and to let the vegetation regrow.

-Beak trimming is prohibited.

-Feed must be organic and must include roughage.

While it's not perfect, it's a damn sight better than battery caged hens.
I see what you're saying, but in your example that would just be input type="reset".

Ah Maven. It yes, not my favorite tool.

You're quite right that by default there is no hand holding by Java itself on the matter and if you have to solve it yourself it's quite a not fun problem the first time you come across it.

It bothered me in the early days, but after switching to Spring Boot the problem melted away entirely. If you use https://start.spring.io select what you want, hit download and import as a Maven (or Gradle) project and bobs your uncle. Boot automatically builds a fat jar and it just works. Friction drops to zero in that particular configuration.

I'm not a fan of Maven either. Before leaving Java land I settled on using Gradle and was much happier with that. Some people don't like that it runs a daemon and uses resources or that builds are custom with it, but I don't mind those things at all and I found it a real breath of fresh air compared to Maven.

Another point of difference between native .NET shops and native Java shops that I have found is approach towards development environments. My sample size is small here, but so far I've seen that Java shops run windows, but have development VMs that you can just download an image, drop it into your machine, pull down the repo and the image is pre-configured with all the right stuff to build and develop. Linux natives are heavily into scripting things and the devops usually works quite nice, but I find it also breaks more frequently because it tends to be _somewhat_ brittle.

In .NET shops I haven't seen that. It's mostly been they run on Windows and develop on Windows (duh) but that means you have to manually do a bunch of setup and spend a day installing stuff when you start and everyones machine is a tiny bit different.

I can't say I've found one better than the other, but if it were me I'd run .NET Core development and do it on Linux in VMs.
The article was almost 3 years old now. I wonder what they've changed since then

In the US, look for the Certified Humane [1] label; Pete and Gerry's, for example. Terms like "free range" and "pasture raised" aren't regulated and aren't trustworthy.

Under the HFAC standard, antibiotics are forbidden, mammalian proteins in feeds are forbidden, beak trimming has strict guidelines, etc.

Note that HFAC paradoxically/disappointingly doesn't require chickens to be have range, but if the package says free range, there's a 108 sq.ft.-per-bird requirement. Pete and Gerry's eggs are marked free-range.

I assume you're basing your claim on WER on data sets like Switchboard, which is a garbage metric: https://medium.com/descript/challenges-in-measuring-automati....

Humans may not be particularly great at speech transcription, but they're phenomenal at speech recognition, because they can fill in any gaps in transcription from context and memory. At 95% accuracy, you're talking about a dozen errors per printed page. Any secretary that made that many errors in dictation, or a court reporter that made that many errors in transcribing a trial, would quickly be fired. In reality, you'd be hard pressed to find one obvious error in dozens of pages in a transcript prepared by an experienced court reporter. It is not uncommon in the legal field to receive a "proof" of a deposition transcript, comprising hundreds of pages, and have only a handful of substantive errors that need to be corrected. That is to say, whether or not the result is exactly what was said, it's semantically indistinguishable from what was actually said. (And that is why WER is a garbage metric--what matters is semantically meaningful errors.)

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. If automatic speech recognition worked, people would use it. (After all, executives used to dictate letters to secretaries back in the day.) The rare occasions you see people dictate something into Siri and Android, more often then not what you see is hilarious results.
I understand where you're coming from, but you're basically talking about interpreter support here - not the language.

This would be like me taking the old Borland 4.0 C++ compiler and then telling you that C++ is SO slow to change. It hasn't moved since 1994!

Which is wrong. The language spec has clearly updated. ECMAScript is not defined by browser support, even if you should be taking browser support into consideration before choosing tooling.

Just because you're not choosing to use new language features doesn't mean they don't exist.
Mayo and cheese might be skipped if the person is trying to be more vegetarian. I've always found mayo to be unnecessary and kind of gross on burgers anyway. It's only useful if your meat is lousy or you've overcooked it really badly.
Base salary is a pretty useless statistic in tech. Almost all higher paying jobs are going to have a large component of the compensation in equity or discretionary bonuses.
I think javascript is changing more rapidly because:

1. It's on the back-end and front-end.

2. Lots of corporate sponsorship of Node.

3. Adoption of other languages' functionalities (namely async/await from C#, sets from Python, symbols from Ruby (could be wrong here), hash rocket from Ruby/Scala).

4. Teams building their JS libraries to serve the unique needs of the team (Uber's fusion.js, React and Redux for Facebook, Google's AngularJs/Angular/Material Design).

5. Browsers converging on JS spec which allows for arguably more cross platform development.

6. Node is a "good enough" solution for managing IO when it was introduced (hesitating to say perfect because Ryan Dahl has mentioned that he would have done a lot of things differently and has introduced deno as means to correct what he thought were the warts of Node).

It's both: we're taking 3trn a year out of the economy and putting 3 trillion a year into the hands of Americans. Maybe they'll turn around and spend it. Maybe they won't. Perhaps you're right and every cent of the UBI goes back into the economy - but in that case it's still only neutral in terms of economic impact (and even this scenario is fanciful, there's going to be overhead in terms of administration and not everyone is going to spend their UBI check). It's an even bigger leap to think that siphoning $3T out of the economy somehow puts more than 3T back in - and that's what Yang is counting on.

Step 1. Pass 3T worth of taxes and spending cuts.

Step 2. Give everyone $1k a month.

Step 3. ???

Step 4. Poverty disappears, the economy grows by leaps and bounds.

It's a utopian vision. Tantalizing, yes I can empathize with people who like it. But let's not forget that Utopia comes from the Greek words "not" and "place". A utopia is something we all desire but does not exist. The pursuit of which has led many societies to ruin.
It's not smart business. It's often much more damaging to a company's bottom line to lose a strong performer and have to replace them than it is to pay them what they're worth. It's also damaging to culture when people just start disappearing because they got market-rate offers.

It is worth calling out that compensation is more than just salary however. But if strong performers are consistently leaving your company due to compensation, then you're doing something wrong.

There was a mailing list discussion about building U2F into Django, and I agree that should get done.

I don't know a ton about SSO, although I'm more skeptical about building it into Django only because there are many different ways you might want the business logic to work, so to me that suggests using a library for that might be more appropriate than having it built into the framework.
I generally am supportive of people seeking psychiatric treatment, but wow, this woman's case seems, in retrospect, rather mismanaged.

It is like her doctors tried to medicate away an epiphany. Realizing that "the glittering balls and designer clothing has no real underlying substance" and being depressed that one's life is limited to such things, is not a cause for medication.

It sounds like she was struggling to be happy in a situation in which she was never going to find happiness.

Finding purpose, the thing she said was missing so early on, seems to ultimately be what helped her. Her reason to get up every day is that she can now help others, instead of live just for herself.

Some people look inward, they want to be the best dressed at the party, have a good career, and overall be successful in life. If that brings them happiness, then good for them! They have found what makes their life fulfilling. But different people need other forms of fulfillment, be it an artist completing their latest work, or someone who wants to have a daily positive impact on the world around them.

Medication cannot make people happy. (Well at least not the legal drugs, and the illegal ones won't work long term!) They can only create the possibility for happiness for those who need some extra help.

But, doctors need to do a better job of discovering if that extra help is just needed, or if the road their patient is going down is not going to lead to happiness no matter what is written on the prescription pad.
Did you ever need to provide a resume/CV? If so were you honest about your education? Did you just omit it?
> not an apples to apples comparison IMO

I see what you did there.
As a manager it's astonishing to me that someone would lie about this. People talk about salary.
> You know what runs the countryside? All the people who built houses there.

There's a difference between "countryside" and "wilderness". I think you're talking about "wilderness", because "countryside" is kinda defined by agricultural use (which traditionally implies people living on their farms/ranches). Houses and barns are - IMO - understandably okay in a countryside. Wilderness, not so much; I agree with you 100% that it's better to not actually live in places that we should be conserving for future generations (or at least not build permanent structures; camping is fine, IMO).

Regardless, you don't have to stick to the extremes. Smaller cities/towns that allow for close proximity to either countryside or wilderness (or both!) without outright sprawling onto it would give you the benefits of both. Reno, NV is a perfect example of this: urban living in the valley, surrounded by mountains and deserts where it's easy enough to entirely avoid civilization if you so choose.
