Not all at, just fully disagree the misuse of engineering word, in some countries, by people that most of the time didn't set foot in college, or if they did, the degree had nothing to do with engineering.

Why should I be afraid? Over here Engineering is regulated and it surely isn't going to change during my lifetime.
I have a theory that on the rise of a civilization soon after comes the rise of career bureaucrats who proceed to strangle the civilization and this has been going on since at least the Sumerians.
I think a lot of nissan's early battery degradation issues were from a small battery.

Because of the limited range, people would cycle the battery almost daily, and people would charge to 100% if possible.

If you charge it daily and you get 2000 cycles out of it, you might get 5 years of life

If you have a larger battery and charge it weekly (same 2000 cycles), you get 38 years out of it.

You could do this calculation with battery range vs car mileage too. This also doesn't take into account range degradation.
None of that is true at my company, in my experience. It is a large company, so I might not have the full picture, but my little corner of it is not like that at all.
STEM is part of engineering, that is what that E is about.

Where can i find remote job?
I'm happy to pay. To me, however, the value lies in predictability, sustainability and avoiding the risk of deplatforming. Tech companies come and go and are subject to political issues (as proven by Github). Thus, sometimes, it's wiser to pay engineers to set things up than buy a product/service.

I want you to think about this. There is so much information online about how to earn fast money online but with the abundance of information its hard to know what can help you. Am I correct. So you ended up jump from business to business getting information overload which eventually leads to procrastination. And no matter how many hours you spend online to make money you get no results. So instead lets us these powerful tips to get you to earn quick money fast.

Go to clickbank.com and choose a product from marketplace search. There are tons of products that you can promote. Next create Your Hop link which will be the link that will send your reader to the sales page of the product that you have just chosen.

You can get a cheap domain for a $1.00. I recommend a dot-com from Godaddy.com

Search for some information about the niche product that you will be promoting and start writing articles on it. Your articles only need to be about 300 words long and all you need to do is write naturally and with good spelling and grammar, and you should be ok. Its not that hard. Really.

What I don't like about agile is its an awful approach for building large complicated products.

The focus should not be on time management, that's not why software fails, it fails due to bad design.

The "ongoing conversation" developers should have should be about modules, objects, interfaces and algorithms, not about user stories. And refactoring the system to better handle new features should be encouraged, not thought of in terms of "how does this advance a user story".

User stories should be input into the exhaustive design process, and then the design should drive the development tasks.

I'm expecting push back on this, I'd probably go as far to say that for a large team on a large project 1/3 to 1/2 of a Sprint should be spent designing, and the remainder of the time coding.

Writing tests fits in this "designing" bucket for me. TDD is a great way to flesh out how the system should be structured.
A newbie here who plans to learn basic video-editing. I am in a dilemma whether to go for Davinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere. While the first is free, I noticed there are very very few assets(LUTs, Lower-thirds, Transitions etc) that are freely available for DR. Perhaps because it is still in its nascent stage. Do you happen to know any resources to find such assets for Davinci Resolve?
I don't fully understand panopticlick results. My machines always get uniquely identified by screen size (which I sort of understand, but find doubtful) and fonts installed. The latter I find very confusing since it often lists a set of garden variety Windows fonts, which I don't even have installed on my machine.
Those things are orthogonal.

Having 60 work hour weeks, 1 week vacation and tons of VC money to spend is not related with having a degree.

In fact many of those marvelous US things were created by expat teams, which got an engineer degree back home before trying their luck in US.
Hm, hiding the protocol and the host part in the address – what next, hiding the domain? However, the path is hidden already, what's left then?

Seriously speaking: If browsers are simplifying the URI scheme for the alleged benefit of users, how do we expect these users to know anything about addresses? Isn't this rather undermining security than enhancing it? Highlighting significant parts may be preferable to hiding those deemed insignificant. Moreover, regarding https, I personally prefer positive affirmation over lack of warning.

For me, this worked best for desktop browsers with the padlock icon (and, before this, the key icon) shown together with a display of link targets in a status bar as a separate, reserved area. (While allowing pages to overwrite `window.status` was certainly not a good idea.) A consistent display of the authority issuing the certificate of the current page in a status bar like this may be also nice. I'm not convinced that less but more opaque information is the way to go.

Dedicating 20 vertical pixels of virtual real estate to security relevant information may be worth it. It may be also easier to parse than an overloaded omnnibox/location/search/navigation/security/menu bar. Cutting down any information which is displayed too densely right from the beginning won't help the issue. How many bits of information are there in this "everything bar"? Yes, there's still a bit of grouping left, mainly by spacing, but color is mostly gone as a signal in order to make the information density bearable. So users will be applying quite an amount of selectivity when parsing this display, by this inevitably missing relevant information. (That this densely combined display is rather homogenous both for esthetics and acceptance just aggravates the need for selective parsing, which is likely to become a habit.) "We'll pre-filter this for you" isn't addressing the problem, it's rather "living with the outcome".

Edit: A legitimate reason for redacting the host name are extensive names, crafted to exceed the space available in the location display in order to deceive users regarding the identity of the host. Here, abbreviating by an ellipsis (compare text-overflow: ellipsis) in order to fully display the domain may be a way to go.

--

P.S.: What's the general lesson taught by such redactions by the browser vendor? That it is OK to ignore these things, as they are truly irrelevant? (Must be without significance, since Google told me so?)

At least 2, at my unnamed company. Three mentioned celebrities who are easily verified. And you're still incredulous. I don't know what to tell you, this isn't that uncommon.

It's not that they don't work too much for their own good, and pay themselves as much as they can get away with. It's that they don't see the need to show up at my company every day, but somehow think that highly creative employees perform better at a grindstone.
I'd be okay with a paid subscription service if I got privacy and some other things as well. There's room for both free and pay. Duckduckgo is ok, but not google. Would be nice to have google, without the bias and without the privacy issues.
How to nail your next coding interview
Things aren't always that cut and dried.

For example: What if the car is also abandoned?

I was raised to be extremely upstanding and responsible etc. But you can take that too far, which is why we have and need laws that cover when certain things end: statutes of limitations, laws declaring when property is deemed abandoned, etc.

Every state in the US has laws in place that spell out under what conditions the government or another party can claim your real estate. The local government typically claims it if you haven't paid your taxes in X amount of time and resells it. If it is mortgaged, the bank can claim it if you fail to pay for X amount of time.

States also spell out when a total stranger can file legal claim on your real estate. This usually involves them openly living there, getting their mail there and paying the utilities and the like for a number of years.

Most states require a period of between ten and twenty years. The most liberal states only require five years. The most conservative -- Texas -- requires 30 years.

Countries that don't have solid processes in place for returning seemingly abandoned real estate to use by allowing some other party to establish legal claim to it wind up having extremely thorny problems, including intractable poverty for large swaths of the population.

Problems with trying to establish clear legal ownership in countries with overly conservative laws or traditions in that regard is one of the biggest challenges faced by Habitat for Humanity. Lack of ability to readily and easily say "We don't think they are coming back for it, and if they do, too bad so sad, time's up" actively undermines a functional society far worse than the occasional petty crime (such as some swiped beer).

I'm personally excessively conservative about such things. But I'm old enough to recognize that different people draw those lines in different places and that people less conservative than me don't necessarily deserve to be viewed as bad actors. They certainly don't deserve to be tricked into committing a crime so that bored police officers have something to do.

What is the alternative? It’s enough like a traditional TV guide experience that people get it, its remote uses similar touch physics as iOS (I typically tap directions rather than swipe though), your phone can act as a remote (with an identical UI) or a keyboard, and you can cast any arbitrary content pretty seamlessly. I also love that the iOS remote actually controls my AV receiver’s power and volume.

The music app can get too deeply nested, but in general it is above all a consistent tabbed master-view experience in every app. The apis exposed to developers all lend to a very good, consistent experience for everything I’ve tried except YouTube TV, which doesn’t utilize the standard media transport API.

In general I like the idea that casting, while still as deeply integrated as Google Cast, is supplemental to the hardware remote. It’s not an afterthought, and neither is the remote. Both are good IMO.

Truly my only complaint is that the app switching dialogue uses reversed/“physical” swiping direction (like switching desktops with a trackpad). This makes no sense to me, as nothing else does this, including swiping between album covers in now playing. I get it, but it’s inconsistent with the whole rest of the UI.
The LHB (and its connection to the Nice model) goes quite far in explaining the size of Mars, the water content of Earth and Venus, the distribution of the asteroids ... what about all that evidence?

This article is kind of all over the place.

Do note that according to the chart near the bottom, the US actually spends more of it’s GDP on the social safety net than Canada and Australia, two countries perceived as having better social safety nets. It’s probably even higher in the US since Canada and Australia cover 100% of their citizens for healthcare when the US only covers ~60%.
The average social security check is $1461 (https://money.usnews.com/money/retirement/social-security/ar...). There are plenty of places in small town USA that you can rent for $600-$700 a month and have money left over.
But what it usually requires is an eight hour course in which you're told repeatedly that you need to sterilize combs in a solution that kills lice so you don't spread lice.

Let's not pretend that licencing requirements are always some sinister cartel action to limit the number of nail-painters in a given municipality. Usually they're just a response to some obviously avoidable consequence of a large number of unlicenced practitioners paying little attention to minimal standards.

>In Japan, people work hard, few abuse drugs, crime is minimal and single mothers are rare. The country still has lots of poverty.

Conversely, does that mean we can't blame crime, absent fathers, and drug abuse on poverty?
Good ideas come from all skill levels. But good idea vs bad idea ratio is fundamentally what separates those in or out of brain space. To get your ratio up, you need training and experience in making good ideas more frequently and bad ideas less frequently. And then you get placed in a space where your ideas are your core output. Those people tend to be salaried the most often. And they don't like to spend their time sifting through the bad ideas of untrained people when they could instead be generating more good ideas per unit time. I don't see the problem here
Many conservatives in the U.S. believe that poverty is mainly a result of bad personal decisions.

Is this article arguing that poverty is never a result of bad personal decisions?

If so, I have a few anecdotes that would be contrary to that.

Disagree.

Software is saturated and consolidated; the infrastructure has been built and is owned by large companies. And that trend will continue.

Data on the other hand is still growing, and there is enough already that has not been analyzed. Traditional software engineering will still be important, but no longer glamorous. The future belongs to the data analysts.
The omnibox never seemed like a crowded part of the interface, did they do any kind of user testing where they found people were confused or annoyed by this 'https://www' prefix? Or is this just one team's sense of aesthetic ?
Because without minimal standards for sterilizing tools, hair dressers can spread lice. Basic licencing requirements give the municipality a chance to ensure that everyone washing hair has been told about basic hygienic standards for washing hair.
If you want to debate that attacking along a ~50 km front is analogous to assaulting a 13 sq km island, then we're talking past each other.

> United States benefited hugely (in purely economic terms) from slavery. Whether or not we would have been as, less, or more successful without it, or whether it has been helpful to others, is an orthogonal discussion.

I don't see how these can be orthogonal. If the claim of benefiting from something isn't a comparison to a world in which you didn't have that thing, then what is it?

And since we don't have access to a world in which the US didn't have slavery, the best we can do to get information is to compare to other somewhat similar societies. Other places in the Americas with (and without) slave economies seem extremely relevant.

One comparison not mentioned so far: The cotton mills of England spun a lot of slave-grown cotton, just like the ones of New England. It was debated at the time how essential this was. And the civil war blockade provided a useful natural experiment, in which it turned out not to take very long to switch to cotton from other places, like Egypt.

The moral questions don't seem tightly coupled to the economic ones. Would anyone claim that slavery in what's now Haiti (or Brazil) was less of an evil act than slavery in the US, on the grounds that these places are poorer now? Or more evil, on the same grounds? And if not, then why is disputing the economic benefit of slavery in any way taken to be disrespectful of suffering?
In some countries, that's a rational, deliberate decision.

Where are these people coming from? We were perfectly clear when we invented the term "open source" that we meant "free software", to the point of adapting the Debian Free Software Guidelines into the explicit and detailed Open Source Definition, and we've been using the term consistently for over 20 years. Where is the roach nest that keeps sending forth these would-be free-riders on the goodwill attached to the term "open source", who keep trying to falsely pass off their proprietary crud as "open source", and how can we exterminate them?

(Not, of course, BootOS; it never claims to be open-source.)

Just try copying video between different containers (mkv, ts, avi for one) without reencoding.

I do, all the time. AVI is an old container and it has issues with B-frames and also VFR but those are container limitations, not a libavformat issue. All transmuxing between common modern containers with present-day common codecs work fine. There are always edge cases, but that's what they are, edge cases.

you can handle each track separately and mux them back afterward.

Why do that? What's the benefit?

For my masters project in applied nuclear physics in 2013-2014, I was running the Finnish software Sampo 91 (from 1991) for analyzing gamma spectroscopy lines produced in our Germanium detector. I could get it to work on Windows 3.1 with some backwards compatibility features. It didn't run on a VM but on a physical Intel 486 machine the hospital where I was working had laying kept in store. It was a pretty nostalgic experience to set it up since the 486 was my family's first computer. I learned two things then: a lot of the basic features that we expect from an operating system already existed back then, and using old software is a lot less stressful than modern since computer's only did one thing at a time back then.
