> The internet has its own morality that is somewhat untethered to legality: use what you can get, pay for what you feel you should.

I see you chose more of a passive tone here, as though you're just a cog in the machine, totally helpless and unable to take action on your own.

The Internet is what people make of it, in part based on the sum of individual choices.

> And you can scream

Not screaming.

Possibly. Maybe it alerts GitHub devs to the problem and they try to come up with a solve. If font creators read it, they can work with repo owners to get things in order. For my part, it pointed out a problem that I can take steps to mitigate in the future with my own repos.

Anyways, obviously I can't stop you or anyone else from taking digital goods at will. But in part, I wish that people would be more transparent about their motives instead of talking themselves into thinking that they're not actually doing something wrong.

Just say "I take things that don't belong to me because I deserve to have them, it's easy to do so, and I won't get in trouble". At least it'd be an honest assessment.

I think he meant buying the drink is creepy. I go to bars on occasion and meet women my age and younger, but I've never bought them a drink because I feel the same way (although I don't think they expect it either.)

Starting the conversation is hard and it can be very difficult to tell if they really want to talk before they do, I guess that's part of why you want a good bartender because they'll usually start conversations with everyone.

The mobile-first page is a lot better than the old one. I've been using it for a while.

... When still using Twitter, that is. The platform decisions like showing me notifications of things I never subscribed to in any way ("look, some person you don't follow tweeted this") and can't unsubscribe from is 100% offensive to me and one of the major reasons I really don't like using the platform anymore (besides a crippled API and only now slowly improving mobile app).

That said: The website is amazing on mobile. It feels NOTHING like 99% of webapps out there. How are they doing it? Are they damn wizards?
> Is John Carmack a '10x programmer'?

Yes. In fact, he is probably a 100x programmer.
> Unfortunately they've now ported one of the most offensive feature from mobile to desktop. The "Home" timeline, with tweets out of order. And the real kicker; you can still select "latest Tweets first" but then the app literally undoes your preference every week or two, forcing you back to their "Home" view. It's offensive.

Sounds just like Facebook now.

Why would the lawyers choose this hill to be the hill they live and die upon? I feel like you're going to have a tough time garnering sympathy for this specific case.
Most people over-estimate the long term life of a million dollars in 2019.

Standard wisdom gives you the 4% rule.. i.e. you can spend 4% of a balance to have a principle last forever (Based on historic stock market data, no guarantee it will actually work in the future).

4% of a million is only 40k. Can you live on 40k a year? Yes, billions of people make less than or equal to 40k a year. However most software devs like this guy who was making over 100k a year would be "content" to retire on 40k a year.

He would need at least 3 million to live on the 120k a year ;)
> I had about a half days' worth of work typed up into the browser's text field and when I clicked "submit", all of my work vanished and Firefox only showed a page stating that the certificate was invalid and that nothing could be done about it.

that's not a valid argument against HSTS! the browser behaviour with regard to your data is outrageous, and shouldn't be tolerated. and i'm saying this as a longtime firefox user. the browser just sucks, big time.

"luckily", as a vim junkie, i can't stand the textarea at all, and do anything that requires more effort than, say, this comment, in vim, then copy/paste over when i'm done. still, we should have gotten $VISUAL embedding fifteen years ago: what's happened, Mozilla? lining up your Pockets the whole time?
That's what I find so interesting about Samin Nosrat's "Salt Fat Acid Heat". Sure it's a list of what it takes to make food taste good, but it also happens to be a comprehensive list of what you need to stay alive. It's also why I added oranges into the list, although there's probably a cheaper way to not get scurvy?
That's true to a certain extent, but math and programming share the property of being built up from logical building blocks that are combined in strict logical ways. Law and philosophy are built on language and culture; physics is closer but is empirical. Math and programs are built from logic, and this gives them more of a common aesthetic sense.

For example, in law or philosophy, repeating the same argument multiple times, adapted for different circumstances, can give it weight. In math and programming, the weight of repetition is dead weight that people strive to eliminate. In law and philosophy, arguments are built out of words and shared assumptions that change over time; in math, new definitions can be added, and terms can be confusingly overloaded, but old definitions remain accessible in a way that old cultural assumptions are not accessible to someone writing a legal argument.

In physics, the real world is a given, and we approximate it as best we can. In math and software, reality is chosen from the systems we are able to construct. Think of all the things in our society that would be different if they were not constrained by our ability to construct software. Traffic, for one — there would be no human drivers and almost zero traffic deaths.

Where programming differs from math is that math is limited only by human constraints. Running programs on real hardware imposes additional constraints that interact with the human ones.
Here's my Stack Overflow user hostile experience.
I asked a question as to _why_ some very well-used and robust database implementations, as a matter of "principle", don't have auto-increment fields. There must be a reason for it, like it violates the purity of a relational database, etc., but I'm not sure how or why.

This question was quickly edited/changed by someone else to "How do you do AUTO_INCREMENT in Oracle". And then it was marked as a duplicate and quickly closed.

I never asked a question on Stack Overflow again.
On the other hand, Olympians are not even close to "10x runners".

Ten percent of Usain Bolt's top speed (27 mph) is a leisurely walking pace that almost any healthy adult can maintain for 100 meters. Ten percent of a world record marathon is a bit harder, but high school students still routinely under 10 minutes for 2 miles.
If people think the article is poorly written and poorly researched garbage, then they can say that and say why, or just don't comment, but that's no excuse for posting poorly written and poorly researched garbage in response.

I'm not saying the article is great, but that the comments here should be better.
$30,000 for that?

>In a real attack scenario, the attacker needs 5000 IPs to hack an account. It sounds big but that’s actually easy if you use a cloud service provider like Amazon or Google. It would cost around 150 dollars to perform the complete attack of one million codes.

no, it does not have nearly that many. I think they only have 100 or so. IPs are expensive. It would probably cost thousands of dollars to pull this off.
With that much power floating around, I would have expected the transformer to have better shielding/warnings. Or is that not practical?
I strongly disagree. What you perceive as a "knack" was often developed by putting in lots of dedicated effort over a long period of time, under the right conditions.
YouTube is the 900lb gorilla. How would breaking apart from Google (which is not what was suggested) help other video sites?

YouRube is FAR past critical mass. It IS online video. And I can’t think of anything you could do short of shutting the site down that would fix that and give competitors a level playing field.
I guess it's possible that _this hill_ is a particularly good revenue hill.
It's hilarious how self aware they are about the newbie experience[1] while at the same time having engineered an system that reinforces and enables all of those behaviors.

Stack Overflow doesn't care about helping users get answers to their questions; they care about creating a Google-indexed repository of high-quality questions and answers. These two aren't the same because of the concept of a "high" or "low" quality question. If you go to a consultant (or even a helpful fellow employee) with an vague, ill-formed question with a lot of specific detail about your exact context and problem they'll help you through it. Stack Overflow doesn't give a shit. No one is going to waste time giving you a nuanced answer to a complex real-world situation; nor is it with their time to cross-examine you to find out what your real question is. That would be both time consuming and unrewarding - unrewarding because it will help at most one person. No one else will care about your specific situation, so your ceiling is at most one upvote. If you want that kind of help, you have to pay for it, in one form or another. Unfortunately, most new users ask a question about something their genuinely confused about in a topic area they've just started to learn. Big mistake. Such questions were already asked 5 years ago and you'll get closed as a duplicate, or your confusion will be interpreted as cluelessness and closed as unclear. You'll get a ton of downvotes in either case.

I like stack exchange; I have a few thousand points on two different sites. I enjoy answering questions, or even just seeing what kinds of questions are being asked, and of course use it almost hourly when googling for different problems. I rarely ask a question though, and usually regret it when I do. But at this point let's just admit it's basically just a wiki with a psuedo-Q&A gimmick.

Yeah, my first thought was make every attempt acquire some per user lock with a timeout. It's pretty much the same thing. Either one would have a negligible effect on legitimate requests and would solve the problem.
It's in local time as an offset of UTC. So, if you pool by repo then you could have two commits at 13:00 even though they were commited at different times of the day, but in different time zones.
Coming from a person that did not take issue with the “Russia aspect” - The only part that sticks out to me is when the article implied you have to give it access to all of your photos.

In my brief usage of other social media apps like Snapchat, Instagram, and Facebook. Each photo you decide to share is opt-in.

The article also mentioned they run a job to continuously check in. Not sure if that’s to capture current GPS info, or to continually grab new photos. That seems a bit overzealous for what the app reportedly does. (editing pictures of your face)
I'll not say it would be impossible to run a general news website this way, but Gruber's website is basically pre-targeted already. Advertisers know pretty much exactly what they're getting with his audience - affluent, tech-focused Apple-aficionados with disposable income. It works great for him and his advertisers, but isn't a generalizable example.
> (I am a weirdo in that I like my team, my teammates and my job in general)

I don't think that makes you a weirdo. I feel the same. I wouldn't be willing to stay in a job where I didn't feel that way!

However, I simply cannot work in an open office. It's far too stressful, and I have great difficulty actually getting quality work done in that setting.

> I would rather have a well-equipped onsite gym and a roomy cafeteria and a free ice-cream shop than that space being filled with 100 'offices'.

I am exactly the opposite. I honestly couldn't care less about things like a gym, etc. What I care about is being able to work to the best of my ability.
Hmm, I was mugged once in Philly, it was nighttime and I was returning back from uni. It wasn't particularly traumatic since it happened so quickly. I went to report it and as I was waiting, there were other people in line with gunshot injuries and people in knife fights and one lady whose boyfriend had stabbed her little dog and other crazy stuff and I was like.. you guys need the police's resources way way more than I do, so I just left w/o reporting.

But I guess the point I was making was that if stealing or taking advantage or someones misfortune is morally wrong in one context, then I don't quite see a principled way out of it, other than layering an assumption-ridden argument about Amazon being bad and therefore deserving of this. As is typical in most corporate environments some engineer/pm/sales dude is probably going to end up being the fall guy. IMHO the only way to "stick it" to Amazon and come out on the moral high-ground is to stop using them. There is a time for civil disobedience, but it is possible for most consumers to avoid shopping with them.
Just because Chinese folk religion does not line up with American ideals of monotheistic religion does not mean it is not a religion.
One could now conceivably write an app that scours the internet for these faces on social media and inject propaganda designed to tilt an election outcome one way or another.... (e.g. perhaps by looking at which group an FB user follows, just one of many examples). It wouldn't be outright sabotage, but FaceApp certainly paves the way to greater influence by a foreign government over USA's or anyone's election process/campaign.
> he grossly summarized pretty much the opposite of that.

Here's an actual quote from the thread: "10x engineers don't hack things. They write quality code and know exactly how the code has to evolve, and have a mental model of overall code structure. They write at most one design document, and the rest is in the code."

The thread wasn't particularly crazy as far as Twitter takes go. I think it only went viral because of tweet #3, the one about background colors and keycaps.

The whole meme about 10x programmers writing terrible code very fast must have come from somewhere else.

I didn't know that caffeine was worse than cocaine in this regard.

Differences in adoption could also be related to the fact that coca leaves can be simply chewed, while coffee beans need to be "processed" to extract coffee.
I'm no psychologist or some sort of an expert,so this is just my own life experience:
I grew up with quite a variety of people: some were pure criminals(drugs,roberry, extortion,theft),while others ended up being lawyers, mathematicians, businessman, doctors or civil servants. Some lacked brains while others lacked courage. Ultimately,if you feel lonely,drop FB, Instagram, WhatsApp and other crap.Just fucking delete that crap. There are always people who are interested in the way you think and are absolutely excited to listen and just talk to you till the sun rises... Feeling outspoken and like going to places? Go to those night clubs, restaurants or parties.Feel like being quiet persona in the corner? Well,join like-minded people, play Warhammer, build a train set and so on. Whatever you do,drop that Instagram/Facebook/LinkedIn bullshit,where everyone seems to be conquering the world.Just drop it. Go to the bloody library,local reading club, whatever. Also,learn how to listen. Actually hear what people are saying,how they feel. All this stuff turns into conversations, follow-up meetings and ultimately friendship or something more. there's plenty of space for everyone, despite of looks, character or anything else. It's not as hard as you make it!
I suspect parents are a particularly juicy target. Being a fresh parent myself, I've already noticed I have much different emotional reactions to news reports and even movie scenes involving safety of children.

Develop software, some times web dev of backends for IOT stuff, some times closer to firmware.

And as of recently, I am an involuntary salesperson as we began gaining clients in ex-USSR, and India/Pakistan/Bangladesh.

Over the past 12 years, I did work almost solely with either small OEMs or companies buying from them. And I did a short dash with dotcoms. Wasn't able to cope with PHBism there.

I'm very glad that my scope of work drifted towards something with a more narrow scope over the years. Work with small OEMs is all about being a "do everything man."

Previously I did simple circuit engineering, simple mechanical work, worked as an interpreter, did commercial negotiations on behalf of clients, did parts and product logistics, sourcing, even done package design and making up adhoc brands few times.
Pitivi is great until it starts crashing. Kdenlive is stable but adding texts is painful there. I didn't like Blender video editing much (though I don't remember why anymore).

If you're poor, it's prohibitively expensive to maintain one's mental health -- the focus on nutrition is spot on, but it's lacking. If you're working 2 or 3 minimum wage jobs, you don't have time for self care. You can't afford therapy; time or money. You probably can't maintain a regular sleep habit, exercise schedule, etc.
>living standards for the average American have regressed in many ways since the 1970s,

With women's entry into the workforce plus the 1964 Hart-Cellar Act's lifting of immigration quotas the workforce more than doubled in the 70s. At that rate how was work compensation ever supposed to keep up? I'm not saying the trade-off wasn't worth it, but you can't 2-3x the labor pool and then pretend we don't know why wages decreased while competition for scare resources increased.

OK, perhaps we should say a doubly-linked list where each node contains the data and two pointers. While this is safe, it's also fairly inefficient, storing an extra counter with every node, which are dynamically updated, just to keep the borrow checker happy.
This person did not shut out his colleagues and work in a bubble because of personal shortcomings. This person was forced to work alone because his company needed very specialized skills and relied on a single person for them. No budget for hiring another person, no time allocated for training someone else. What, is he supposed to make an executive decision to stop doing his work and pull another engineer off their work so he can train them? He was an IT tech, a leaf in the org chart, and management had made the calculation that they saved $X/month by relying solely on him, at the expense of some short-term disruption when he inevitably left, and $X was big enough to win out. The big ego he blames himself for was part of the solution they engineered. The more important he felt, the harder he worked, the more money he saved them.

Also, I think it's in poor taste to make this kind of "confession" or "apology" because sincere apologies can have weight and meaning, and this cheapens them. By arrogating the responsibility and the apology to themselves, this person is protecting the people who created the situation. By blaming his own personal deficiencies, he is obscuring the fact that the business chose (probably intentionally) to benefit financially by relying on a single overworked engineer instead of a team.

Yeah, yeah, I know we're all supposed to claim ownership and responsibility for everything at all times, but sometimes it's appropriate to blame somebody else.
It's a real mess isn't it. Personally I'm awed by Japanese cuisine, which seems to have integrated the need for healthy nutrition with amazing flavours and satiety, and embedded it into the culture as a cherished component. Replicating that with a bunch of rules is nigh on impossible I'd suggest.

Certainly not a fan of their hunting of whales though.
>All pollutants are existential threats to humans

If that's the way you see CO2 emissions, then I have no quarrel with you - though you may be at odds with the entire environmental movement and possibly climatologists. Carbon emissions are not sold today as just another pollutant (out of many) that needs to be managed. They are sold as THE existential threat to humanity.

If you don't see that, then nuclear is not necessary, you can get good, clean power generation from natural gas and wind/solar mix.
Includes them yes, but doesn't only use them.
Not really.

If the comment "what the fuck" were instead "estimate floating-point exponent with bit-wise arithmetic" and "SingleStep forward with Newton's Method", then the code would be better documented

The comment "what the fuck" and "evil floating point bit level hacking" don't help anybody. And "1st iteration" is only helpful if you knew it was an iteration of Newton's method.
I feel like there's an "elite" of old users who are discontent that there are both people asking questions they don't like and people eager to answer those questions. If they could just elevate those old users to a different space where they don't interfere with this asking/answering which is the point of the site to begin with, everyone would probably be much happier.
While there may be truth there, those numbers don't take into account the strength of those beliefs, also note that if I'm not mistaken, it's not counting independents who may vote republican, so the pool is actually much smaller in terms of overall Americans.
