What prevents title changes if only to please the LinkedIn profile? Junior - Senior is a change that occurs within the first 5-10 years. Isn't there a way to discuss with your manager for title changes just to show you haven't been doing the same thing?

Deputy Developer? Elder Developer? Doyen of Development? Development nestor of company X? Director of Engineering at Sub-sub-sub-sub-department that happens to be just your team? Level 20 Wizard? Does it even matter if it sounds good on LinkedIn?
the unbroken spine on your Godel Escher Bach suggests otherwise. Read what you have, before stressing on Kay's or others' lists!

Read what you like. You're describing someone who's clearly been 'stressing lists' so much they've got books they're not interested in and are never going to read. If you've made the mistake of accumulating a bunch of books as props, well, it happens - there's no need to compound this further by guilt-tripping yourself to read them before reading something you might actually want to read.
>> with one of the top weight lifters being vegan

> That's not exactly true, he's just some buff guy that is strong. He doesn't even look big compared to bodybuilders, regular protein eaters at the gym are his same size.

So, because he's a strong buff guy, while "not looking big compared to bodybuilders" (category in which he has not been competing since 1999), and as "regular protein eaters at the gym are his same size", it's not "exactly true" that he's one of the top weight lifters ?

> His 'record' deadlift was 360kg

GP never said "top deadlifter". None of his records are about deadlift. Not sure why you mentioned it.

> EDIT: After some research people are saying his european world records were all accomplished before he became vegan in 2011.

2012 Doesn't count?

Especially when the existing sites that at least offer 800 numbers are already so bad at doing low price guarantees. Look at what hotels.com did when the price dropped by $1000: quibble about whether the rate was really the same because of whether breakfast was offered all week versus weekdays. It turned out to be their error anyway. https://www.elliott.org/the-troubleshooter/hotel-price-drops...
This is a weird cultural thing that I encounter every now and then. Some cultures only consider flesh from land animals to be "meat". People from these cultures also often call the diet I would call "pescatarian" "vegetarian".
It has the same fundamental function.

JS just has the concept of "false-ish", which you'll likely already know as a JS developer.
The hypothesis that there is no universal truth is self-defeating. It isn't necessarily wrong, but any deduction you would make from it meaningless, and if you truly choose to believe you should fall into solipsism.

You yourself must believe in some universal truths, otherwise you would not attempt to communicate with other beings.

So, in order to have any kind of discussion, you must start from a point where you believe that at least a large part of everyday experience (including other beings, their minds, physical objects, their interactions, our observation thereof and many others) exist in a meaningful sense, outside your own cognition.

Now, any extrapolation from these base assumptions, is what we should think of as physics. For example, if I assume my eyes exist and my perception of the world is meaningful, then I must also conclude that the moon I see through a telescope exists to the same extent, and it's motion as I observe it exists, and I can search for explanations of that motion etc.

If I were to not assume that my eyes perceive something which truly exists, I would have no reason to stand in front of a computer screen, hitting keys on my keyboard and watching the letters appear on the screen - it's possible in a very absolutist way, but it's simply not a productive way of looking at the world.
Same. I actually wrote the Ask A Manager site to see if I was being rude by just blocking people I don't know - if that had the potential to cost me down the road. Her response was that they expect that, so I feel free to use LinkedIn less as a social media site and more a living rolodex.
I'm not one to prematurely optimize things, but I'd be cautious about blindly copy/pasting some of these solutions unless you want your coworkers to make fun of your O(n^3) set intersection algorithm:

array.reduce(function(a, b) {
return a.filter(function(value) {
return b.includes(value);
});
}))

Higher cost of living, and until you figure out a way to cut my hair in the USA while you're in Colombia or Chile I will have to pay $20 a cut minimum, here in a low cost of living part of the USA.
e-Triumph Herald.. priceless.
I'm guessing she wanted to name names.
My point is that recruiters should not be trying to add themselves to my network. They should be contacting me via messaging.

The fact that LinkedIn allows this usage pattern pretty much turns me off of the entire site.
It may be a test run. Flight pricing is complicated, Google may be reasonably worried about the unknown-unknowns.
Exactly. This 10^32 times.

It's affluenza, "victimhood"-exploiting, pseudo-disability BS. My elderly and frail grandparents never had a disability placard, yet their neighbors had one for at least 30 years without a real disability; the neighbor had one because they were slightly disabled (low %) per compulsory military service discarge. That's understandable, but what's not is this "special-needs" living security blanket that gives others allergic reactions and creates a nuisance to others.

If the animal can't behave, there oughta be away to give feedback on the customer/animal such that they won't be able to fly with their fluffy nuisance.
The situations in theses articles are just as likely to not happen as they are to come true.

Um, what? On what are you basing this likelihood on? These are scientists that study this for a living. This sounds like complete fabrication.
This article is garbage. Her only point is that we should be “tax-ing [sic] the rich” (which the US already is at a high rate) and that would somehow give these people homes?
nothing will happen, these people are above the law.
Good point. Or even without a specific language: https://mullvad.net/blog/2019/8/7/open-source-firmware-futur...

Could the submitter or a moderator also change the title to "Open-source firmware is the future"?
The only way to do what most people want here is to bake this digital identity into humans, which is beyond our present technology and also feels potentially rather like a recipe for authoritarianism. For one thing, if you can lose it, people will. They'll destroy them on purpose, they'll be stolen by crooks, they will forget them at airports or in hotel safes. That's not a problem for baked in things, people don't leave their hearts behind (outside of Country songs) or (outside of maybe China) get them stolen by crooks but any conceivable device, card, key, or document will have this problem.

Greg Egan's "Orphanogensis" (http://www.gregegan.net/DIASPORA/01/Orphanogenesis.html a short story setting up the protagonist for his novel "Diaspora") describes making Polis Citizens (people who exist only as software, the other branches of humanity have given themselves bodies suitable for long term existence in space, the Gleisner Robots, or given up on consciousness altogether, the Dream Apes) with a cypherclerk, a component that does public key crypto. Once the system achieves confidence that the process of making a new citizen has been successful and has produced a conscious person, the cypherclerk is initialised and the new citizen has a unique and impossible to fake proof of ID. This plays no major role in the story, it's just there because presumably Greg agrees with you that it'd sure be convenient if there was actually digital ID. But there isn't.

Here's a central conflict: I would like to be able to prove that I'm who I say I am, but without being stuck with that identity. This makes the identity disclaimable. You will find plenty of people who feel the same way, and some of them have very concrete practical reasons (e.g. people with stalkers or who ratted on a crime boss). But for a bunch of things people, and especially governments want to do with a digital ID that's no good.

A disclaimable ID can work for a driving license. Barry Shitpeas is licensed to drive an HGV, you can either prove you're Barry Shitpeas, or you can get a new license to drive the HGV with the identity you do want to use.

But if Barry drink drives, taking away his license, knowing he can just get a new one as Jerry Poocabbage tomorrow, well that's a rubbish outcome, isn't it? We want a way to _stop_ Barry from driving even if he changes identity. And we can't do that with disclaimable ID.
This has always been my feeling towards lodash, it is heavily overloaded with shorthand functionality that greatly reduce its readability to me.
Before this, some people complained that Apple’s bug bounty rewards were too low. Now they’re higher and a different set of people are complaining that they only did it for PR. It seems like a bit of a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” scenario.

It’s true that Apple pins its rewards to specific outcomes, but I think a lot of bug bounty programs do something like this. For instance, Google’s top bounty for Android ($200k) is only awarded if you can provide an exploit compromises that the trusted execution environment (see https://www.google.com/about/appsecurity/android-rewards/).
>Leaked documents show children as young as 16 recruited by Amazon supplier Foxconn work gruelling and illegal hours

16 is a legal age to work in many places of Europe, including my very own country. What exactly am I missing here?

Also isn't it a bit manipulative to call a 16 year old teenager a "schoolchild"?
The flight I want has been fluctuating between $400 and $700 every couple of days for the last two weeks. It's $729 now and I need to gamble on whether it will go back down and I should wait, or whether it's about to go up even higher.

I _hate_ flying solely because of the gambling mechanic built-in to the purchase.
This is very common in my phone screens
I moved to the Bay in the summer of 2013 to work for a YC company. I read Dhalgren every night then. The way he weaves technology into the story is so different from other science fiction: incredibly light on exposition and origin, heavy emphasis on its performance. It is jarring at first but becomes very beautiful. I won't be the first or the last to say Dhalgren is uneven, but it's worth trying to finish a few times.
Ah, that's actually simple - the answer depends on whether that statement is true or not.

In the abovementioned case where only name (which is not unique) and password and sexual orientation is stored, and literally nothing else, you can say "sorry, we took all reasonable measures to verify your identity, and couldn't" because that's how it is.

However, if google or paypal or someone else who stores much more data says "sorry, there's no longer any way for us to verify you are who you say you are", then that's a lie (easily verifiable by the regulator), and that's not acceptable.
This was in Patriot Act by Hasan Minhaj. Very good info and lots of jokes around the fact that Wolf was produced with the fund.
Taxis are pretty cramped already, as a rule. I cannot fit comfortably in many smaller cars, and have difficulty getting my legs in front of me and keeping my head upright. I'm considered tall, but not hugely so; what are such people to do? Let alone wheelchair transport? Keep in mind that smaller transport options such as these are typically used in places where the average person is much shorter. They are also usually not accessible to the handicapped. Finally, many Americans are too fat to fit in narrow seats.
You might be right on some of these points, but your delivery seems meant to cause doubt because it is unconditionally optimistic. It causes the reader to question you. Do you mean to cause doubt?
And its clear with the number of data dumps online of personal information that this needs to change.

Do you think it's possible that Musk responded to your emails because they ended plausible deniability for the Tesla Board with regard to the Curacao foundation?
It doesn't. There's a few math heavy exercises in the first chapter, and the math is generally explained as it goes along too. Except for the first chapter, it's pretty math-free.
Right, but when the media reports on macro indicators they're doing it on bag time. Wall street has already seen the yield curves, and that is how they leave retail investors holding the bags. But now that everyone still in the market is holding an empty bag, the S&P accurately represents the value of the bag. It's not a bad deal today because the baggening already happened.
Maybe you don't speak German?
Well, I agree and disagree. I think if you are already well off and you want more, the most just way to acquire that is through working more. But you're right that people struggling to get by, support their family, put themselves through school, etc. shouldn't be forced into taking on multiple part-time jobs or "side hustles" like delivering food or flipping clothes, and the two groups of people are not doing the same thing. One is self-actualization, the other is closer to survival.

> The bill would limit social-media usage to half an hour a day (users would be able to bypass the limit by adjusting their app settings).

The Economist is putting it mildly. The Act is quite short and accessible, so well worth reading directly: https://www.hawley.senate.gov/sites/default/files/2019-07/So.... More on that half an hour limit, from Section 4 (paraphrased):

- Opt-out 30 minutes a day time limit

- The time limit gets reset every month, so you have to keep opting out

- A nag pop-up at least once every 30 minutes showing how much time you've spent there that day

If this passes, using the (US) internet will become much more annoying.

(Section 7, which says the FTC gets to make up new rules later, looks a bit suspicious to me too, but I'm not clear on the degree to which that's just standard operating procedure for American politics.)
59% of drug overdose deaths in Scotland involved a benzodiazepine, compared to less than 16% in England and Wales. Scotland has an unusually serious and rapidly increasing problem of benzodiazepine-related deaths.

GDPR is not a perfect law, but I think it's a great leverage to use when negotiating against US companies if you're a EU country.

I mean at some point, EU countries will get tired of the US going a little too far. It's about being able to negotiate, and with the digital age and the massive ad market, it only makes sense for the EU to protect itself after brexit and the cambridge analytica stories.
That doesn’t make it not quite true. You may be gifted at the subject. I was not and couldn’t get through SICP. You need a mind for mathematics or the requisite education in mathematics before doing SICP.

This is still going on in Alaska, many remote areas have some bullies getting away due to no police. I'm sure some end up missing too, but there is a big lack of funding for state marshals to deal with the problems.
Ask HN: Is Kotlin Enterprise Ready?
I have been building enterprise products for a long time in Java. If I were to start building a new product in 2019, is Kotlin a good alternative to Java?

Are there any gotchas I should be aware of? Are there any compatibility issues with old Java libraries?
React+Redux. I can focus just on what the structure of the UI should be and not the nitty-gritty of actually updating it (React handles that). State management through Redux so I can consolidate where application state is held, and testing it is straightforward and a feature of the library.
Perhaps, if they genuinely are service dogs.

But no one is verifying that they are indeed service dogs since it seems businesses can't.

Also, as I said dogs are loyal to their owners not all humans.

You were half right until you dug into the helplessly racist narrative. The wild west had many incidences of such events and the victims were often white. One need only look at the story of Billy the Kid and the regulators or Wyatt Earp's arc for evidence. The only thing that makes this unusual is it was in 1981.

EDIT: person I'm responding to makes the case that this case is SPECIAL in U.S. history and draws a direct line to racially motivated lynchings even though there's plenty of evidence that white-on-white lynchings occurred. I am not saying racially motivated lynchings didn't occur. I'm saying that history is not black and white.
You don't need to setup adguard software or hardware at all to use it - you just change your existing router's DHCP setup to point to their DNS servers.

Its pretty handy on Android (I think requires 9 or later), you can set dns.adguard.com as your "Private DNS" server and it will work system wide, with no Apps or VPNs to install, and on every network you connect to. I beleive it uses DNS over TLS as well.
Also not in this thread until now, but two thoughts:

First: A car can be "the means of production", if you're a driver for Uber/Lyft.

Second: the issue I understand is that this website isn't letting one person take fruit from a tree, but treating all such things as open invitations for all persons to take from the tree. To your analogy, that isn't taking a single Model T car, but seizing the factory and stating you're making cars for the entire city with it.

Haha, would you look at that.

Still, I prefer having documentation over the possible scenario where I have a few undocumented functions created by other developers for whatever reason. Maybe multiple functions do the same thing. Not to say this is the only alternative, but it is the more common alternative I've seen years ago, and it's a certain type of hell.

Yep. Python for many years, Java+TurboPascal+C# for a couple of years, C+Matlab for a bit under a year, and a few other ones that I wouldn't list simply due to how little work I've done in those.

TypeScript and Python (with typehints) are the current favorites. Golang seems to be getting up there for me too, but I don't have enough experience with it to actually be able to say that.
In the US I see a lot of household costs that are going up above and beyond inflation especially in California:

* Transportation (No good public transit or usable bike infrastructure so stuck with Cars)

* Registration Fees

* Toll costs

* Gas Taxes

* Power - Electricity costs are going up, especially in CA

* Water/Sewer - Getting more expensive, especially in CA

* Trash - Waste Management is taking over and gouging prices like crazy

* Housing prices near workplaces are skyrocketing requiring ultra-commutes increasing transportation costs

I was pretty much priced out of California... That place is going downhill fast affordability wise. Unless you have a VERY well paying job it's barely livable.

Right, I find pointfree style to be much more readable than pointful, I expect the GP would too if they became used to it
I link a few old news with it : First there was a news that electric grids are hackable. And Russians might be after those. Then there was a news that White House called for some of the power transmission switches be turned manual, which are now automatic. Next there were a bunch of large and sudden power failures in large cities all over the world. And now this.

Maybe there isn't a link. Just a possibility.
"You shouldn’t have to be a hustler to have more."

This kind of guy has no no problem passing genes on. There are many more single mothers than single fathers for this reason.
I did the same, and I agree it works.
helplessly racist? Thousands of lynchings occurred like this across the country for a hundred years - you can bet they weren't lynching whites more often.
> You shouldn’t have to be a hustler to have more.

Let's assume someone (for whatever personal reason) has a desire for "more" than their average/typical peer.

Help me understand a better system to allocate resources than someone trying to create more value in exchange for taking home more value?
I think all else being equal (e.x. assuming sufficient browser support or polyfilling), people should prefer using standard / built-in functions, many of which have been added to JavaScript since Underscore was popularized.

However, I don't necessarily agree with this approach of providing snippets for functions which aren't implemented natively. Underscore and Lodash likely have better implementations and much more testing. If you're concerned about bundle size, use tree shaking or individual function imports.

I think one exception to this is if you are writing a library and want to keep dependencies to an absolute minimum.
