This is a perfect example of a developer blaming themselves when in fact the real problem is that the tool is too complex with too many moving parts and that's why it breaks all the time.

If you're a driver and your car keeps breaking down constantly, you wouldn't open up the hood each time, slap your forehead and say "It's OK, it's only the camshaft phase variator this time!"
You rightly expect the car to just work. If the car breaks often, it means it's shit; simple as that. The solution is to buy a better car. And there is no excuse in this case because plain JavaScript is 100% free.

Poll: Should Reddit implenet a poll feature
Reddit could easily implement a poll function in submission boxes, but refuses to.. it woul be a wonderful way to track poll data. They can make it so only a single vote can be cast in a poll - do check box polling questions and have poll dashboards showing vote populations based on reddit account data which people could opt in/out of sharing (like country or gender etc)

Hi, here I am typing, what is the big deal. I can't even see what the progress is or what danger I might be in. What is the dsignifier of my danger? The typography is nice. But I don't know what my purpose is here. Is this a metaphor for life? What is my purpose, I won't know until the game is already over? How have I determined if I'm winning or losing? Who keeps score anyway? How many questions can I ask in one paragraph? Is this a self-interview or something? What I should have done is read more about this before I started. Maybe the goal is to get 500 words before the timer is over? At which point I have failed? And that's why so many people gave a count when they were posting on HN, it was just that in 5 minutes they were only able to manage 300 words? Could be. Could not be. That is a question meant to fill up space. And what is the point of filling up space if all that life is a kind of filling up of space. We dont' know if anything means anything, we might just be atoms floating around - or molecules floating around the universe. Star dust or whatever. But what is the point of this stardust sitting here typing for five minutes, only to find out if he's won or lost. I"m not on place to get 500 words, but is 500 words just a construct of my own mind? Did anyone even mention 500 words? What I had assumed was that as I typed there would be ever vanishing text that would sort of creep on my current progress, eventually overtaking it. And that would lead to a feeling of stress and turmoil. This doesn't feel stressful or full of turmoil at all, more of confusion. Ok, I just noticed that my cursor is red. Was it always red? Does it mean I'm running out of time? My guess is that it does mean something but that I'm overstating it's meaning. Well that's another metaphor. We run through life overstating meaning again and again, missing the things that are actually meaningful. Ok, my time is over. I think it's ove
Pretty sure that was the 3/5ths compromise, not the electoral college.
Does the EU presidency have a popular vote? Why aren’t the various leaders of the EU all German since Germany has the most people?

I love the electoral college. For those that bother to understand that America is a republic; the system was nearly perfectly designed. If we can get back to the original method of electing senators and back to the idea of “these United States” rather than “the United States,” we’d all be happier. States should have increased sovereignty. The 10th Amendment ought to matter.
I love this book so much that I bought a dozen copies and gave them out as Christmas presents back in 2009! To this day, my wife and I joke about the seriousness of running hydration because neither of us would ever want to drink out of a mud puddle [book reference]. I always bring a water filtration device on trail runs over 15 miles because of this book.
Although I have a lot of stories from my time there, my view of this particular event was mostly from behind a desk. I don't think I can offer much personal insight to it.

But I strongly recommend a video that covers the second race. Not to be confused with the 2009/2010 Citizen Pictures video, this one was put out by a studio in Aspen and I think was produced for the Outdoor Life Network.

The problem is that I'm not sure how one would legitimately source the video today. But if you stop by my place I'll offer you a beer and arrange a showing...? I'll look it up tonight and let you know if I can find a source.
15 - 21 I had at least one job, usually two, and was in school full time.

School was an additional job. School was a ladder out of devastating poverty. School was an opportunity to not be used for my base physical labor. School was hope. It was not 'Pretty Pleasant'.

Medieval peasants couldn't imagine modern dentistry either but I'm sure we have it good enough and can stop improving working conditions.

Sure, but that goes back to the point that supply and demand are driving these sort of concessions by employers. Devs are in high demand and low supply, so the concessions are much higher than say, a retail job. I would say severance is common in "professional" roles, whether that be an accountant or middle manager. It's certainly less common in blue collar work and lower skill work. Despite the existence of at-will employment in some states, many companies in these states still choose not to fire indiscriminately. I think that it's smart business practice to offer severance, because companies are reviewed these days on sites like Glassdoor. A company with a bad reputation for treating employees is going to have a hard time attracting talent.
You shouldn't be downvoted. That portion is clearly over-the-top hyperbole, and it is fair to call that out.

Is "I don't want to see relevant ads" really the user's ultimate goal? Or is their goal actually something more like: "I don't want advertisers tracking me", and not seeing relevant ads is just a side-effect of that?

It sounds to me like Google's goal here is to give users what they want (less tracking, better privacy) without hurting their ad revenue. That seems like a reasonable compromise to me, assuming they can pull it off. At the very least, it's an improvement over the status quo.

Because otherwise our abandonment of fossil fuels would make their price fall on the global market, causing them to just be burned in poor countries instead. This is one place in the proposal where he's right. CO2 is a global problem so we can't ignore the rest of the world.

Actually, that happens all the time. The way node resolves modules and npm installs them, it's entirely possible to have several different versions of the same dependency. If you use npm ls, you can see where they ended up.
I personally study a thoughtful blend of the a number of subjects, including:

1. Machine Learning
2. Practical Software Development Tools and Techniques
3. Computer Science Fundamentals
4. Design
5. Marketing
6. Business Fundamentals
7. Strategy
8. Communication

I believe all of these are elemental to being a successful software developer in 2019. Machine learning is eating conventional software development from the inside out and conventional software development will eventually be mostly obsolete. Like many developers, I'm transitioning to this field to stay ahead of these upcoming changes.

Our jobs as software developers (and increasingly machine learning engineers and data scientists) demand superior communication skills and reasoning. Since the ultimate goal of most software today is to be sold for a profit an impactful area of study is business and marketing. Understanding how to structure software to best serve business goals means understanding the ecosystem that the creation lives in. Finally, the ultimate consumers of software and machine learning models are rarely technical and solid design skills are a good complement to a solid technical foundation.

Staying current and moving ahead in all of these areas of study takes at least four hours a day.
Not even nostalgia could get me to play it. Just think about what running five man instances was like in vanilla. Find a group in chat. Run to the instance (which can take like half an hour if you're far away). Wait another half hour for everyone else to get there. Enter the instance, wipe on the first pack, and the group disbands. That's an hour+ of "playing" a game where you accomplished exactly nothing.
I guess I just have to keep typing?
What would be the point?
How long do I have before the screen goes fuzzy?
Blank?
I lose everything entirely?
Seems like the best strategy would be just to type really slowly.
Then, your thoughts would always have more room for more words, while you would never fall into the fuzzy screen.

But I don't think that's really the point.

What is the point?

Is the problem that we don't get all of over stream of consciousness out onto the page, constantly? That we never miss a word or a thought? Is everything worthy of being memorialized in solid memory?

Or perhaps the idea is just to get a rough draft down. Let it see where it goes, and then go back and edit.

Some people do have a problem getting started, and "staying" started. I don't know if I do. Seems I can ramble on and ramble along.

What would Hemmingway say?

Is this really the way to do this?

How do "real" writers actually write? Probably not with their words going fuzzy constantly. Probably not under the gun.

Sounds like a concept for a screenplay from a nightmare of a screenwriter.

"I was having the worst dream..."

Had to keep writing or I would lose everything. It was completely amazing, and I couldn't save. No CTRL+S. No CMD+S. No cloud save or autosave. Just have to keep typing.

"It's like the world's most boring remake of Speed. If you ever stop typing, your screenplay blows up."

Who the hell would want to watch that? Or read it?

But I was stuck in that nightmare, having to write it. Constantly. Couldn't stop to think, have a drink, or even go to the bathroom.
Canada is very different, because the party in power in the House of Commons can basically do anything it wants. By contrast, the political system of the US is effectively designed to produce gridlock. The Canadian Senate rarely blocks and introduces legislation unlike that of the US, just to name one example.

There are benefits and drawbacks to both systems. Right now I'm pretty happy with this aspect of the US system. (There are other parts of the US system I'm less happy with—such as the Electoral College.)

Banks have worked with the credit reporting companies to factor out medical debt and medical debt default/collections from FICO scores. I recently did a refinance and not only did they not say anything about lingering medical collections they didn't mention about $10k in back taxes that were obviously on my tax returns. I remember getting raked over the coals on this stuff fifteen years ago. They always required me to pay off any outstanding taxes or past collections back then.

Well, for me it seems two ideas are mixed up here. Non profits can do exactly that - instead of focusing on profits they can maximize other "stakeholders".

Nona.Care launches a babysitter platform merging AI with personal touch
Nona.Care launches the first babysitter platform where AI algorithm is to match parents with personally selected babysitters based on pre-set requirements. AI is to solve issues parents face when looking for childcare, such as time-consuming search, an overload of inactive profiles, lack of reliable references, and unavailability of the sitters.

With Nona.Care parents will experience the same lifestyle flexibility and security as if they
had a full-time nanny available to take care of their children at any time.

“This is easy help for busy parents, - says Kirill Tiufanov, the founder of Nona.care, based in Berlin, - Being parents ourselves, we were tired of old school expensive agencies or impersonal platforms with endless profiles. My experience in tech startups brought me to the idea of creating a quick and safe way of finding childcare. These days we have anything at reach in our mobiles. In a matter of minutes, you can buy tickets, book a taxi or rent a flat. Why not a babysitter?”

Nona.care platform features detailed caregivers’ profiles with reviews from other parents and a video to help parents make an informed hiring decision. Before profiles are published, all sitters undergo a five-step selection process, including completing an online questionnaire, background checks, providing references, as well as a personal interview with a Nona.Care team member and an onboarding education in early childhood development theories, Montessori method and practical issues.

“Our babysitters are not professional nannies, but rather people with values who are very good with children and love taking care of them. And they adjust to your schedule!” adds Kirill.

It takes only a few easy steps to book a babysitter and make a payment online. As an additional safety net, all bookings are covered by a worldwide insurance company. Coming soon are extra security features, like location tracking and noise-sensitive bracelets to alert parents, when needed.

If the software is open-source, it will just get forked in a branch that removes usage metric uploading. If you want to make money with software, just release proprietary software, not sure what's so difficult about this.
Countries like the US and China are the largest contributors to climate change while the nations most affected by it (poorer countries at or near the equator or coastally located) have the least resources to actually do anything about it. How unfair is that? We should be footing the bill to help them.
Excellent point. I would also like to point out that the instruction manual jobs that you mentioned are being automated away and the pace of automation over this type of job is likely to increase.
Someone else is working for you instead (unless you saved this money).

Whoever pays your bills is your boss. If the pay is contingent on attending graduate school then it’s actually a job.

> Pie isn't a dessert in some countries

"Pie" means foot in Spanish and it's pronounced something like "pee eh"

Also, Mexicans use "pay" to refer to a pie (not a foot).
I don't like this. I like the sentiment but repeat after me: politicians should never ever insert themselves into engineering! The only exception would be politicians who are engineers, and there are not many of these in the US. Bernie Sanders it not an engineer.

When they do we tend to get ignorant choices (because 99% of them are not scientists or engineers) and corruption. A great example is our biofuels programs that gave us corn ethanol, which is literally the absolute worst possible biofuel for EROEI. Another example unrelated to energy is the Space Shuttle. NASA would have built a much more affordable and reusable orbiter had Congress not mandated a bunch of extra capabilities that were never used, specific contractor mandates, and other meddling that ruined the design.

Just tax fossil fuels and other carbon emitting activities. Do not allow politicians to get involved in picking the alternatives or they'll pick the wrong ones or be influenced by lobbyists for the most expensive or politically well connected ones.

I also don't like the categorical rejection of nuclear. I'm not strongly for expansion of current-generation nuclear power but I am also not at all opposed to more research on better ways of exploiting fission energy. I'm also strongly in support of increasing funding for fusion energy given the progress that's occurred in areas like compact superconductors and computer modeling. If we can solve fusion we'd at the very least have a source of base load power for regions with strong base load power demands and that lack large scale renewable resources sufficient to meet that demand.
NB: Definitely not in the John Quiggan interview (though I did enjoy listening to it again).

The upshot was that interest rates and/or bond markets might once have been nominally open/free markets, but with the actions of central banks, that's far less the case, and reading activities as market actions is now far harder to judge.
This sounds very arbitrary, opinionated, and unconvincing. If a class is a co-location of data and methods performed on it, then how is this class:

class Foo {

constructor(value) {
this.value = value;
}

addOne() {
this.value++;
}

getValue() {
return this.value;
}

}

const foo = new Foo(1);

any worse than this POJO:

const foo = {
value: 1,
addOne() {
this.value++;
},
getValue() {
return this.value;
}
}

In order to help countries of the Global South with climate adaptation efforts, the U.S. will invest $200 billion in the Green Climate Fund for the equitable transfer of renewable technologies, climate adaptation, and assistance in adopting sustainable energies.

I don't really see the problem. The game may be a nightmare for developers in this theoretical scenario but if the major bugs get kinked out then the audience doesn't care.

I guess it's the same case here. The art isn't as if the entire art pipeline was MS Paint so most people who don't mind graphics may at worst just put up with it for the gameplay they expect from Vogels games.

I think the key point is that governments are made of fallible people too. If not everyone deserves individual freedom, then certainly not everyone deserves power over others. And autocracies don't provide any facility for ensuring that those in power are in any way deserving.
And plenty who leaves at least around here. Those I knew personally got more money after. I can also check unemployment rates (low) and compare kindergarten salary to other jobs that hire same qualification (most of administrative work, junior tester etc).

I assume they earn less money they would otherwise, because those who left found better paid jobs without much problems.
To disambiguate, it doesn't oppose energy storage technology, "carbon capture and storage" should be read as one thing, relating to carbon capture only.
I'm for nuclear energy as it gets us away from coal the most reliably, but investing in solar, wind, geothermal, etc works too if we're serious about it. Not only that, but we'd actually be willing to share those green solutions around the world.
I think the main take away is Jeff is just not passionate about art and so it gets cut. Even when talking about art he seems to mostly be talking about technically advanced graphics and still not the art you can achieve with those graphics. This is fine. Play to your strength.

The rest of the blog post is one of those soliloquies more to reassure yourself than anything, I'd say.

>>Recent studies have shown that when advertising is made less relevant by removing cookies, funding for publishers falls by 52% on average

Has anyone ever done a study of some sort of natural heuristic advertising? Instead of tracking people, track what a publisher publishes and through that, you can make some very plausible (and specific, I'd think) assumptions about the people who consume those publications.

Like, if I'm reading arstechnica, you don't need a tracking cookie to tell you that I am likely intersted in:

- Video Games
- Consumer Electronics
- Some light-medium scripting/programming
- Generally am technology minded

Is that not valuable to advertisers somehow?

I might have this whole game wrong.
