Totally this. The difference is not "full-stack" vs "specialist" so much as "early/small company employee" and "corporate employee".

In small/early companies, there's just a few people. The same tasks need to be done (someone has to design the database, ensure the SSL certs work, and get that checkbox looking good in Firefox). But there's less people to do it.

"full-stack" in this sense means someone who is prepared to roll up their sleeves and solve whatever problem presents itself. It might not be the best solution, and a specialist can almost certainly do a better job, quicker. But it works for now, and moves the product on to the next step.

Corporate employees can be true specialists, because there's enough work and enough team to allow them to be. But this comes with an additional required skillset: corporate communication. To be an effective member of a large team requires a communication mindset that is completely different from the "roll up your sleeves and get it done" mindset of the small/early organisation.

I'm a small/early organisation guy - I can't stand corporate communication, and love rolling my sleeves up and getting it done, whatever "it" is. I know people who are totally the other way; they just want to focus on crafting amazing UI's, or designing perfect databases, and shudder with horror at having to deal with the "full stack" in all its nightmarish complexity. They're comfortable dealing with lots of meetings and reports in return for being allowed to do their one thing.
Pretty much. Life for the average person before the industrial revolution was terrible. It only became decent after the industrial revolution and even that took time. It was built on fossil fuels and consumption.

The only way you can reduce consumption is by increasing efficiency. Limiting people in the long term is not going to work unless you create an authoritarian government.

Thanks a great deal for your comments.

You have been reading almost the very first version of the paper.
The correct version of the paper is:

The basic idea is to prove that the Liouville (lambda) series of length N behaves like coin tosses or as a random walk for very large values of N.

The "alternate proofs" that you talk about are just alternative proofs of certain theorems that are necessary for the proof of RH. Their existence does not mean I do not believe in the previous proof.

The Reply to your misgivings can be found by studying Items (3) and (4) in the Summary below. But before you peruse them, I suggest that you must Trust me, because I am a serious researcher and what ever I have found I have openly written about them in my papers and Project Notes and my lectures (I have been open and free with my ideas). If you think that I am a non-serious philanderer then you can save yourself the trouble by not reading what I have done. I am of the firm belief, that to begin to understand someone's new idea one must first trust him!

Most of my work has been uploaded in Research gate and there have been thousands of reads/downloads. The work is Outlined in the summary below:

> self who is analyzing the event is considered to be distinct from the self who experienced it

I have hard time following this, how can there be two selfs in a single mind.

Is the observer more nobler entity with higher self restraint than the entity being observed who is more emotional and lower self control?
That is what I do too. (I also do not give commit access to anyone else, but do accept patches after I review them. However, nobody ever sends patches or other stuff, but if they did, then I will read them. I do, however, allow others to edit the documentation, just not to edit the code itself.)
Redhat employee being against choice is somewhat expected. It's almost inevitable for big tech corporations to promote such attitudes into their culture. But choice is what makes Linux so much different from other desktop OSes. Like I was on Ubuntu distros for a decade, but was never really satisfied with all the bloat, change for the sake of change, release upgrades, outdated packages. Now I'm moving to Arch, pretty much the opposite of all that. And it would be impossible for Arch to exist without Linux being about choice.
Agree 100% on that, I didn't mean to imply startups want a team full of generalists. But engineer #1 likely has to be full-stack. As you say, once you have 3+ engineers, a mix of full-stack and domain experts can ease planning challenges.
> Overall, it really just sounds like you are armchair-postulating without any grasp whatsoever on the industry...

No, I was proposing a employee owned version of Lyft. For onboarding screen you use something like "already has 100+ drives with 5+ star rating" or similar.

> You can't really have your cake and eat it too.

True. Rather than paying shareholders and drivers an employee owned company only pays the driver. They are recruiting from the same pool of drivers.
Sounds like that might tide us over until fusion. We probably should've invested more into fusion.
Development was more approachable for the newcomer, because there were fewer choices and tooling was less mature. Obviously professionals are better off now, but as a newbie in the 90s it was pretty amazing to develop a website on Notepad and be one of the only people you knew who had a web presence. That and all the BASIC platforms (QBASIC, Commodore, etc) allowed you to build simple text-based games at a time when text-based games weren't uncommon. It felt like with just a little bit of practice you could run with the pros; not necessarily true, but it was really encouraging.

I feel pity for people entering development now. The industry must seem like this colossal, endlessly complex, ever-changing mess filled with experts who know 1000x more than you ever will. There's an overwhelming amount of information, and there's so many partially overlapping disciplines that it's easy to feel lost.
You've never had the experience of reflecting on an action you took in the past and felt a tinge (or worse) of regret? It's the same thing.
Japan has had no fatal crashes, which is very impressive. Europe has had several. I don't know which is safer - China or Europe. In any case, both are safe enough that safety shouldn't be something you worry about before riding.
> That's your problem right there. Your frontend is not as different from your backend as dentristy is from neurosurgery.

I'm not a neurosurgeon, or a dentist, but this doesn't strike me as true. Front-end dev uses totally different tools and languages, and a different set of design principles, than back-end dev. It didn't use to be this way, but it definitely is now. There's almost no cross-over in skills now, especially with Elm-derived front-end frameworks taking over.
The self analysing the event, as I understand it, is considered to be reasonable. The self who is experiencing it is emotional.

It is the same distinction between “heart” and “mind”.

I wouldn’t call either of them nobler, depends on the situation.
> If the act of posting code on github creates rights or an obligation to others, it rapidly becomes untenable to do that thing.

He didn't just post the code on github; he had publish rights on npm, which is where node developers are supposed to publish code they want other node developers to use. Lots of other node developers used it. Then he gave the publish rights on npm to someone else and didn't tell anyone.

If you're entirely ok with that, you're basically telling any node developer not to trust npm. Which basically breaks all of node development. Is that your intent?

> It wasn't Dominic's job, because you (and everyone else!) wasn't paying him.

I see you are not clear on the concept of a volunteer job. If lots of people use your code and you don't give them any indication that (a) you're no longer actively maintaining it (as someone noted in the github comment thread, he could have archived the repo long before this happened since he was no longer actively maintaining it and hadn't been for years), and (b) that you gave the npm publish rights to someone else, then, whether you like it or not, it was your job and you failed to do it. You made a promise to all those other developers and then you broke it.

If your argument is that nobody will do open source development for free under those conditions, then there is a lot of evidence over the past few decades to prove you wrong. But nobody is forcing you to do open source development for free under those conditions. It's everyone's free choice whether they're willing to put their code out there and whether they're willing to actively maintain it for free once it's out there. What you can't do is change your mind and not tell anyone. If Dominic realized that he didn't want to commit to maintenance for lots of developers for free, he should have archived the repo to make that clear.
It's still an access control issue in that case. The user should never be aware of the UUID's. Only the backend should deal with it. If you have a _public_ API that deals with UUIDs, therein lies the issue.

And a side note: I wouldn't trust that the prng for your UUIDs are cryptographically secure. That's not a part of the spec.
Paywall article as per usual @ WSJ
it would rule if we moved away from javascript. it’s turned the web, the world’s best publishing platform, into the world’s crappiest app platform. good riddance.
Well. Since this thread is already collapsed to keep people from seeing it, what the heck? You seem to be the only person who is “confused” while others seem to understand the point whether they agree or disagree.

As far as you not “recognizing me”, I don’t pay any attention to who I respond to accept to see if I’m responding to the same person on the same thread. I’m done with this.
So assuming that his machine is compromised, the first method of attack was Marriott points? Sounds shockingly similar to the responses I got in a similar situation with my Bethesda.net account getting hacked. Again, complex PW from a manager. How likely is it that if someone gained access to that vault or my PC the first thing they would attack would be an account which only lets them gain access to a garbage fallout game and not my email/social media/bank account?

Considering the large amount of points in OP's Marriott account, I highly doubt that was the highest-value target available. Considering it's already known that parts of their network were compromised, Occam's razor points to this being a vuln on the hotel's end.
I can almost 100% say that this is never coming to Android. Casey Liss is one of the co-hosts of Accidental Tech Podcast (ATP) and they are Apple users through and through. Marco Arment, maker of the great Overcast podcast client, is also a co-host alongside John Siracusa of Mac OS X/Ars reviews fame.

TL;DR No this is not coming to Android.
This ideological purity doesn't work well in the real world, and it's not about profits either.

People don't care about privacy as much as you imagine them to, especially if they have to give up everything they get for ads today. One look at what people willingly share to the world on social media shows that.

But powerful monopolies are a problem and market competition is the correct answer to that power. Regulation isn't a magic cure and should be used to place guardrails on the market, but in this case could've been written far better to provide data protection without entrenching the major players even further.
A drastic reduction in consumption has some severe impacts on your quality of life. Would you really actively choose to make your child's life much worse?
I largely agree and work is a test environment, like any other test e.g. SAT; one who performs better is rewarded.

But there's plenty of occasions where judgements is a waste of time, like at the personal level expressed in the OP article. OP does agree that the activity is result from the ego, I don't think he/she did enough to explore the ego resulting in injustice to the colleague as whole in the article.
CRUI – Composable Reactive UI
Good question - it is not obvious.

Y Combinator has one president, Geoff Ralston, who is the president of YC Group, the parent organization.

It has two CEO's: Michael Seibel, who is the CEO of YC Core, the twice-a-year program YC started with, and Ali Rowghani, who is the CEO of YC Continuity, the fund that makes large investments in YC companies when they are at a growth stage.

There are 18 full-time partners, who primarily select and then work with the companies we fund.
Yup, I like to call it “true stack”. Sales marketing, design, development. Whatever needs to be done I’ll do it.
For the last few years whenever I need to accumulate a large and comprehensive declarative knowledge of some subject I use spaced repetition and Anki. My system is simply find a good several hundred page book on the subject then spend four or five days of intense card making. At the end I have a working knowledge and memory of the subject matter at least as good as what most people accumulate in months of ad hoc reading and studying. Also the mere act of distilling the information to cards helps clarify what's important. To maintain the knowledge, I just keep up with the repetition schedule. If I want to go a bit deeper, I'll find the most tagged questions on Stack Overflow and Anki the good stuff from those.

I've had a few situations where people thought I had years of experience with some technology, framework, or programming language when actually I just picked it up last week. One situation in particular, I had a buddy who was using WordPress as the basis of a pretty profitable affiliate site business he was running until he ended up running into some issues that involved needing to make some pretty significant modifications to WordPress itself. He offered to get me in on his affiliate business if I could solve his problem for him. To make a long story short, though I had never even looked at PHP or WordPress before this, within 4 days of using spaced repetition to learn PHP and the intricacies of the WP framework, I was fluently writing plugins that handily solved his problem and a whole lot more and never had to open the reference books again as the whole thing was committed to memory. Not tooting my horn just giving an example of how what ESR was talking about above can be actualized.
I even had an MP3 cd player in 98 or 99.
We need to be carbon negative not carbon neutral.
Too bad Malda sold it before the social media valuations like of Facebook.

Slashdot had some commercial awareness (e.g., there was a lot of predictable "take my money!" meme about products), but wasn't thinking along the most profitable lines, and maybe never could've. (I've been wondering how much/often dotcom founders of successful startups reshape the world in their image, and I doubt that Malda saw the world with a Zuckerberg eye, for example.)

Another big property that was bought by the same people was SourceForge. Which didn't fetch anywhere near the price of GitHub.
I'm less interested in the accusations and more about the content.
Their statement that American free-speech jurisprudence doesn't apply to non-journalists is a dead giveaway that they're speaking nonsense.

Maybe you're impressed when the Trump administration's DOJ comes up with a novel legal theory to prosecute a journalist for "solicitation." I'm going to rely on Hugo Black's opinion of this sort of attempt to intimidate journalists and crack down on national security reporting - that it is a fundamental threat to democracy and contravenes the First Amendment. You can trust Trump's cronies over at the DOJ if you'd like.
Which Cities Are the Best Deals? Quality of Life and Cost of Living
One of the goals of mindfulness meditation is the "realization" that your stream of consciousness—the output of the "self who is analyzing the event"—is essentially just a sensory stimulus like any other. There is an agent in your head, thinking—an agent you have raised and constantly train and identify with very much, sure—but then there is you, separately, observing that thinking coming out of that agent. You, the thing that experiences qualia, would still exist even if that agent didn't! You just wouldn't be able to ponder or focus-on or decide-to-react to anything; only to passively sense and experience things as they happen. From your perspective as the perceiving agent, it'd just seem that a sense was shut off.

Once you have this perspective, you become aware that you don't have to identify with the thoughts coming out of the thinking-agent, or even to listen to them. You, the perceiving agent, can "tune out" the thinking agent's train of thought, just as well as you can tune out a five-year-old babbling in your ear. (And, helpfully, the brain has feedback mechanisms that make tuning out the thinking agent cause it to "speak" less. Unlike the five-year-old.)
That's how to play it :D

Honestly, we don't need to delete FB. The core of FB is a good thing. I'll leave my comment as it is for now, food for thought.
I agree that we can do 'something with' that 12-15 years old laptop; but that 4 GB DDR2 is wasting power which can be saved by using 7-8 years old DDR3L or 3-4 years old DDR4L.
We hadn't begun development on the feature yet. These are just ongoing discussions where we bat around ideas we have for future cycles. Yes, ideally, we will instinctively get a sense for this without it taking a couple days. We probably already have. We're pretty early into our project and the most likely reason it took a couple days to reach the conclusion we did is because the meeting ran out of time that day.

Mostly I'm just saying it's an interesting topic to think about, and that I'm glad to have a CEO who cares deeply about not making something that adds to this addiction situation.
Why do you feel compelled to prove flat earthers wrong? Most of them don't even earnestly believe it, but bait people like you into bad faith arguments for sport.
Some people have asked for LinkedIn support on Twitter but the developer has stated that he's not a fan of storing login information to download those pictures (since LinkedIn loves to put profiles behind a sign up/log in screen)
> Now the way that an L1$ has to be designed, the TLB lookup happens before reading data from L1$ memory (because you need to know the physical address in order to determine whether there was a cache hit and if so, which line of L1$ to read)

With VIPT caches (which AFAIK both AMD and Intel use for the L1 data cache), the TLB lookup and the L1 cache lookup happen in parallel. The cache lookup uses the bits of the memory address corresponding to the offset within the page (which are unchanged by the translation from virtual to physical addresses) to know which line of the L1 cache to read. Only later, after both the TLB and the L1 cache have returned their results, is the L1 tag compared with the corresponding bits of the physical address returned by the TLB.
At least people learned the importance of giving good descriptions the first time in real life.

Too much these days feels like people just leave a message prompt and expect you to return contact and fill in all of their blanks.

E.g. my telephone messages will specify who I am, why I’m calling, what I’m looking for, when to contact me and my phone number (always twice!).

Dunno if others were any better in the past, or if I’m bitter about forums that cater to less advanced users that chronically leave out critical details.
Look Portland, if you join the United States you can continue running your city as a democracy, we won’t mess with you, we just want you to join our country.

Choice. The Problem Is Choice
Which is a fine argument, but people often don't consider that this kills off all the businesses that rely on those adtech companies. I think part of the problem is that it's not immediately obvious that sites like Google and YouTube only run because of that adtech.

I'm not convinced that the impact of SM is much different from the impact of 3-network TV programming back in the 50s-60s.

'We've turned over our perception of what's real to algorithmically driven systems ....' Like Nielson ratings?

We certainly weren't allowed to play a greater part then. Are we now, really? So, if once again we've allowed corporations to spoon-feed us, in return for watching advertising ... how's that any more of a doomsday than the first time around?

Stephenson's a remarkable story-teller but this comment is not helpful. If things look darker, that doesn't mean that they are. TV and Newspaper headlines were essentially algorithmically predictable. 'Darker' stuff wound up in magazines.

Today, anyone with the time can see it all ... unfiltered by news 'experts'. If it looks manipululated, it always was.

Many in adtech do support privacy and data protection, after all they're just people too and want a good experience online.

The problem is that GDPR is well intentioned but poorly implemented, a common occurrence in politics with examples in lots of sectors. These kinds of unintended consequences are what happens when politicians don't quite understand the nuances of an industry and focus more on regulation-in-principle and showboating rather than actually effective rules.
I'm saying Intel's design decisions are found in so many other vendors, Spectre in all of them I've looked for, that it represents an industry blind spot. Which calls for different kinds of "accountability", unless you're a rent seeker.
