This is why Bernie's Cancel all Student Debt and make colleges tuition-free makes really good economic sense. Student Debt is a huge weight on our economy. Our economy runs on consumer spending and Bernie's policies, including Medicare for All will increase consumer spending and make starting businesses a lot easier.

Or optimize for the platform you actually own and spend time on, and don't build BS cross platform skillsets "just in case".

If at some point you move to Linux or Windows, you can learn tmux proper there. No reason to resort to lower common denominator behavior just to get a "cross platform asset".
Most cables had "spare pairs" in case problems occurred. In a hundred pair cable, there'd be 10 unused for example, and if a short / open developed somewhere then you'd use a spare pair. I remember there was a procedure for replacing a cable in a form (the tied set of cables), but not something I ever did, they were in the process of phasing out lacing when I started and I only did it for a few years, there were these new things called "microprocessors" which seemed interesting.

Falcony Heavy only exists because NASA and the taxpayer have given billions to Tesla to develop it and fly it. To consider SpaceX as anything more than a small government contractor attached firmly to the side of the NASA budget is disingenuous. SpaceX itself is hailed as a NASA success for lowering the cost of launching, and an example of smart government spending.
Hyper is usable, and it has become rather fast when they switched the backend a few months ago. It's real promise is in scriptability, and, unfortunately, there aren't any must-have extensions for it.

I think there are quite a few low-hanging fruits for the terminal, such as better integration with documentation or using an actually good language such as ruby directly on the command line. If I ever get around to try some of those ideas, I'd use Hyper as the platform.
The "effective" option would be to make it start zapping if it loses a GPS lock.

Good luck if you ever need to go through a tunnel.
As an H1B, I can say that I get equal pay as an American/any person gets for the same job I am doing. I don’t think the issue is with immigration but more of businesses bring greedy to make more money skimping on paying decent pays. (On the side note, I don’t understand the concept of borders, when you have absolutely no control over where you are born. I can say I am intelligent than an average person regardless the ethnicity/country or what ever, which is why I am able to survive in the industry I am working)
I wouldn't want to run this solely based on the fact that they wrote a tremendous amount of parsers in C. Even worse, it also seems they wrote them by hand and didn't use a parser generator. This is really not what you should be doing in 2012-2019.

>When H1Bs take your jobs, its hard to compete when they are paid less and willing to take less.

I think you're going to have a bad time arguing that point. H-1Bs constitute an fraction of the overall tech sector jobs. Personally, I might agree with you on the grounds that those H-1Bs cause a domino effect on overall job openings. However, the argument, at face value, that H-1Bs are a significant factor in the difficulty of finding a tech sector jobs is, in my opinion, largely a scapegoat.
> if I'm important enough to need to check e-mail 'on the go' or outside of work, I'm important enough for the company to get me a second phone

Quite. Though there is something to be said for the raw network effects of "everyone gets an iphone with email, calendar and instant messaging".

>if I'm important enough to need to check e-mail 'on the go' or outside of work

Depends on the role & type of work more than "being important" I think.

I can't imagine performing my current role without 24/7 access to be honest. Emphasis on access...very different to expectation of checking it 24/7. On most of my long vacations I actually take my work laptop with me...but with a out of office on. If there is a fire I'll jump in...if there is just smoke...well clearly I'm out of office.

URI schemes and subdomains and never "trivial". Neo-Luddism is not a good look on technology company.

If you want, Google, go ahead and spin-off 'Chrome: Baby's First Browser'. I'm sure it will be heavily exploited and contribute in part to the technical illiteracy of new generations.

I really wonder if these "simplifications" are actually engineered to keep users in the dark as to how things work so that they are left dependent on third parties to continue delivering addictive magic.

How about a browser with no address bar? Just two buttons, "sexy time" and "pew pew". That'd be pretty clean.

Just a thought. Meanwhile the EU will not impose tariffs on chinese goods, some might argue, so Germany can freely access the chinese market. Apparently goods made in eastern europe and sold in germany are lOw quAlITY, but those made in china are not. And while in that part of europe, strict eu regulations have to be followed, in china one can violate human rights and even employ children and therefore underprice east eu manufacturers. Thus, the eu internal market is highly out of balance, and ending up with massive internal migration and political turmoil. No wonder the UK is leaving.
Yes, this would be a really good change. As you said, it's insane you can't bankrupt on that debt.

I started wondering a year or so ago if there's enough metadata available in my dev tools to determine if I am actively engaged in debugging or if I'm just decompressing (aka 'fucking around' according to some) on Hacker News.

Yes published. the link you posted is a link to a publication. I am not sure what you are trying to insinuate with the rhetorical quotation marks..
The fact that it is a Chinese newspaper that publishes it seem logical, it is after all information of interest to the Chinese population. (I imagine a US paper's response being something like "NSA spies on China? Duh, that's their job..")

Good stuff. Edit: But I still don't get it. Would need to spend some time with it. Can't help but feel like the goal back then really was to educate, whereas now it's to fill pages and sell new editions.

... “We demonstrate that H-1Bs given to a firm on average do not raise the firm’s patenting and/or other employment, contrary to firms’ frequent claims. Overall our results are more consistent with the second [i.e., the critics’] narrative, in which H-1Bs replace other workers to some extent, are paid less than alternative workers, and increase the firm’s profits (despite little, if any, effect on firm patenting).”

In addition, “we robustly find that new H-1Bs cause no significant increase in firm employment. New H-1Bs substantially and statistically significantly crowd out median employment of other workers,” they continue. This result conflicts with the widely repeated claim that foreign workers create American jobs, which is based, as we have previously reported, partly on the work of economist Madeline Zavodny of Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia. Furthermore, “[o]ur results are consistent with the possibility that H-1B and non-H-1B workers are perfect substitutes. This is notable in light of frequent claims that H-1Bs have unique skills that cannot easily be obtained elsewhere.”

The authors of this “important” study “have done an exhaustive analysis, given the data available, and they have better data than anyone to date, best I can tell,” says labor force expert Hal Salzman of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, by e-mail. “And their findings are consistent with all the other analyses that were done competently—and consistent with what the companies themselves state is the function of H-1B (to lower wage costs and raise profits).”"

Add to that, highly unlikely events occur all the time, but most of the time they're not anywhere near a murder. Once you start digging around for unlikely things, you'll find them.

Heck, even if you dig into a random person associated with a murder, you'll find some unlikely things, but if you dig into a person who has already been accused of the crime (rightly or wrongly), of course there will be loads of suspicious circumstances. That's why they were accused in the first place.

Looking for a Backend Dev position

Location: Toronto, Ontario

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Java, Spring Boot, Docker, Solr, Python, some C

Résumé/CV: Upon request

Email: luizfzsaggioro@gmail.com

4 years of experience, last 1 year working solely with backend development in Java. I have some experience setting up docker images for containerized applications. I haven't had the chance to really dive into microservices architecture, but I'm interested on it. I worked on a task to improve the CI workflow, where I created python scripts to automate things and integrate Bamboo builds with Jira.
It comes hand-in-hand with the rapid growth of people entering development with a commercial mindset. This has been a thing ever since there was a software industry, but as the profession has grown farther away from academia it's only gotten more prominent. For this group, the point of it all is not to do anything particularly principled or learn it as an art, but to run a grift or a hustle where everyone is role-playing and the code is the means to the ends, not the end in itself: Posture as a good developer, focus on the conversation, on selling yourself and selling a solution, then back it up with some legitimate skills or a very clever workaround as needed.

I point to the popularity of Youtubers like Joshua Fluke[0] as a good example of the mindset and how it's articulated. It isn't a "wrong" way to do things - this mindset is mercenary, geared to go up against every exploitative owner and manager and skillfully negotiate them into a fairer valuation of your labor - and it can result in decent software and happy clients - but it's also cynical and assumes low trust, and as I get a bit older I do see it as being a bit like choosing an alignment in a Dungeons & Dragons character: The "lawful goods" and "chaotic evils" tend to cluster and support each other in their own ways, it's just that at the start of your career you can't tell them apart yet, and you don't know which way you'll ultimately go, but the work you end up doing over the long run is determined as much by your approach and mindset as any specific skill.

i would say that you can't talk about this completely without mentioning health care.

the US health care system will absolutely extort and annihilate your net worth at first opportunity (legions of unnecessary tests/unaffiliated personnel/surprise billing/etc) should something bad happen to you. good luck starting a business like that. yes those words are appropriate: they are criminals that extort and ruin for profit.

many in US are tied to jobs solely for health coverage. so you need to divorce those to have any chance at spinning up entrepreneurship, education, and so forth.

That wouldn't accomplish anything now, anyway. All the current best crypto we have is out in the world, and plenty of crypto research happens outside the US. If the US revived the export restrictions, it wouldn't have much effect on the rest of the world.

I'm sure the tradesmen who didn't go to college would be fine with their tax money going to someone who spent 4 years studying art history.
Speaking for myself...

The most obvious example was my response to emotional situations in fiction. Going from only being able to empathize with characters only on an intellectual level to also being able to empathize on an instinctual/emotional level was was so incredibly obvious it was like going from black and white to color.

One the one hand, you could dismiss "I cry at movies now" as just an intellectually-driven conformity with gender stereotypes. You could dismiss my self-report as rationalization--even a dishonest one. On the other hand, what we're fundamentally talking about here is my own mental states--something about which I have first hand observation and you can have only assumptions.

Go through the thought exercise of what kind of information you'd need to evaluate this kind of claim scientifically. You'll quickly realize how incredibly implausible it would be that anyone would perform (or fund!) a study like this.

Seeing as that's never going to happen, You're left with the choice of either (1) believing people's self-report as the best available evidence, or (2) requiring trans people to solve something like the "Chinese Room Argument" just to justify that their own mental states are, in fact, real. It's like asking someone to prove they actually love their spouse, and aren't just simulating that behavior. Who else is subjected to this level of burden of proof? It's totally unreasonable.
