I follow many blogs, many of them of individual developers and if you're not on Wordpress or Medium (ugh), then the next common choice is a static website generator like Jekyll or equivalent.

Some of them don't have RSS feeds.

But I just contact them privately and kindly ask them to add an RSS feed.

Most of my requests had positive results, since you just need to integrate a plugin [1] or copy a pre-made atom.xml template, like one of my own [2] but any one will do.

Of course you can go down a rabbit whole in optimizing the CSS, like I usually do, until I decide that a freaking summary of those articles is enough in the RSS feed and be done with it. But that's totally optional.

And if you're doing it manually, don't forget to add a meta tag in the <head> of all your pages, like:

<link rel="alternate" href="/atom.xml" title="Atom feed" type="application/atom+xml">

> Perhaps he's innocent?

Perhaps.

However, one of the ways prosecutor maintain a 95%+ conviction rate is to only pursue cases they are extremely confident they could win in court. And sure, just because someone loses in court or pleas out doesn't mean they are actually guilty, but it's the best system we have.

People are human, they over react to bad news, they inflate bubbles, etc, etc.

It isn't just hedge funds and professional investors you're up against, and even if you are, so? The average hedgefund bod will be thinking about the year end bonus, a stock that may bounce back in 18 months isnt of interest to them. And the higher ups don't want to end up bottom of the performance tables so they aren't going to keep it either.

Then theres the fact that the efficient market hypothesis can only really deal with knowns. The depth of a recession is an open question, sure you can make an educated guess, but theres plenty of wiggle room to take a different view, or maybe I should say your differing view is a vote in setting the 'correct' price.

And finally, I'm not entirely sure the efficient market hypothesis has even been proven, exhibit A) Long Blockchain https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-21/crypto-cr...
Easy enough to support this article; RSS is good for the open web and relatively trivial to support: took me maybe an hour for my personal blog, compared to the enormous effort I've put into CSS and formatting for the website proper. I'd love to get a feeling for how many folks here have a blog with RSS support and what the relative level of traffic is between RSS and other forms of traffic. Does anyone have statistics they'd care to share?
I would suggest one more exercise; make a GET request to an address where the server replies with a redirect.
> It's not such a favorable outcome for engineers

It's a favorable outcome for people who want stability. There is huge value in knowing that you're not going to get fired unless you do something actively malicious.

Some people aren't interested in climbing, have poor interviewing skills, and don't want to deal with the cognitive overhead of learning a different company's tech stack every two years. Plus, most companies tie vacation time to seniority, so being able to stay at a company for 10+ years means you'll get to have four weeks of vacation every year, while people who switch jobs every two years will always be stuck at two.
Sure, yea, I don't mean like it becomes literally impossible to merge in. Just that for any reasonable size platoon, it disrupts more traffic than it saves. Given existing roads and the existence of not-platooned cars on the same roads, it doesn't really work.

Maybe it works for long haul trucking though.
Totally! It makes content so easy to track. I try to use Twitter a little bit for this, but most accounts post lots of other tweets in addition to "new post", so I have to spend time trying to guess which hashtags they might use to denote actual posts.

Separately, I really like JSONFeed https://jsonfeed.org/2017/05/17/announcing_json_feed. It's the same idea as RSS, but in JSON instead of XML. I find it a much easier format to work with and I really wish JSON as a feed structure had caught on more.
Don't know why your original comment was down voted, but I'll tell you why I down voted this comment: the site rules say not to complain about downvotes. This isn't reddit, these types of comments only clutter the conversation. Plus, your original comment is only 9 minutes old, perhaps wait a bit longer before complaining about downvotes ;)
> Just nice to know what inane email you wasted time writing and what stupid meeting you were stuck in on any particular day when you look back at your life a few years later.

That sounds so bizarre that I'm pretty certain you're not really asking about "personal records".

Will Amazon have 1M employees at the end of 2020?
Amazon had 150,000 employees at the end of 2014.

It had 341,000 people at the end of 2016.

It had 647,500 people at the end of 2018.

Will it have 1,000,000 employees at the end of 2020? Any thoughts?
"It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission" is actually a Grace Hopper quote, so not Silicon Valley. Depending on the circumstances, it can be good advice.

And "move fast and break things" was about code, not about the world at large. It's a coding "philosophy" for getting shit done, that worked very well for Facebook and did not actually harm people.
I don't subscribe to anything via any other means. No need to give any personal info; no risk of spam filtering; I can apply my own filters to content; everything in 1 place.

I've seen some site owner say it allows nefarious players to grab their content, post it as their own, and get it index by Google before they do. But that problem should be solved by Google, we should't cripple the web because of it.
> People have such an impetus for Musk's downfall but a few off colour or poorly thought out tweets is nothing compared to...

I thought we were talking about questionable characteristics of these people and how it might lead to their downfall. I could easily see Elon Musk get sued for unsafe working conditions from years ago, or a fraudulent claim about Autopilot's capability, or for libel by attacking people unnecessarily on twitter (accusing a diver of being a pedophile is pretty fucking weird).

I remember talking to extremely well-paid lawyers in the industry before the Alphabet vs. Uber case saying there was nothing they could do to Levandowski. Let's circle back in 5 years and see how Musk is doing then.

I'd bet money those college entrance consultants are happy about another metric they could hack and exploit for personal gain.

People are already giving up guardianship of their kids to get into schools: https://www.npr.org/2019/07/30/746687110/some-parents-are-gi...

Since it can't be based on a thorough review of data and people's actual background for scaling reasons, it's all going to be about the initial presentation and gaming the system will continue to increase the more entrance is disconnected from academic ability.

Hopefully the end result is less companies blindly hiring people based on their university degree, which is already happening, but there will always be perks from the name recognition alone regardless which is what I guess people are betting on when they are trying to tip the scales.
The indictment[1] sheds some light on the difference: "On or about December 11,2015, he downloaded approximately 14,000 files from SVN. These files contained critical engineering information about the hardware used on Project Chauffeur self-driving vehicles, including schematics for the printed circuit boards used in various custom LiDAR products."

In other words, the accusation is that he stole technology that was the output of the entire Project Chauffeur team, not simply stuff of his own creation. Presumably, those materials were non-trivial and represent the combined effort of many engineers over many years.

Imagine you're toiling on a team for years and your absurdly compensated boss decides they want the whole pie, clones the repo their laptop, and dips out to found their own start up based on everyone's work.

I think it's more than just estimating the count of objects.

We also "approximate" for example a spatial distribution - think about how when running through rough terrain, you instantly know which path to choose to encounter fewer rocks. You are certainly not focusing and counting each individual rock.
> Maybe by the time users who grew up with smart phones are 65+ then we don't have to worry as much about the technological illiterate, there will always be a difference is skill/knowledge but I feel the gap will shrink over time.

In my experience (which I fully admit is anecdotal and therefore likely wrong), the kids who've grown up using iPads and iPhones know less about how computers work than the kids I grew up around who had PC Towers in their homes. Not suggesting this is anything particularly alarming, but does make me curious if the form factor of computing a user is exposed to has any bearing on the user's desire to understand more fundamental aspects of computers.
Yes, but not all fines are for minor violations, and not all fines are a pretext for revenue collection.
Where did the assumption that tech solves big problems come in? Consumer problems of course, but societal problems? Somehow people assumed that solving the problem of being bored on the train is a short jump from solving the problem of housing costs and its not.
The phone is relatively thick compared to typical modern smartphones, which I assume is primary due to the separation of the cellular radio onto an M.2 card. I wonder whether it would have been possible to avoid this by putting the M.2 card to the side of the mainboard with an edge-to-edge connector, or re-embedding the components into the mainboard. I imagine flattening out the design would also help to distribute heat.
looks like he added a link to his RSS (https://kevq.uk/feed) at the end of the article, but like you, my RSS reader was unable to locate it naturally.
For future digital archives pirated material is a really good thing! Most commercial distribution of modern media usually has protection in the form of Digital rights management DRM. That means that libraries and archives cannot copy, convert and preserve the media information. With pirated material digital archives can do their work. Thus what is not legal and bad right now, may very well be looked very favorably upon in the future. I do not defend piracy in general and think that creators should be paid.

Also do current digital media services even compensate artist and creators fairly? Most artists cannot live of income solely from Spotify they need todo concerts.
Depends on the definition of pair programming imo.

Bad definition (the one I encountered in school): two people of about the same skill level sitting at one computer and programming together. I hated it, akin to my hate of backseat drivers.

Good definition (the one I encountered at my workplace): as a junior engineer, I was tasked with implementing this tricky caching thing in one of our systems that I had zero previous experience with. One of our senior engineers was tasked with helping me with that. I would implement as much as I could myself, and when I get stuck, the senior would either give me hints on how to get unstuck or program some parts himself while explaining to me how and why he did things a certain way. This helped me out tremendously in my skill development and got me running confidently in our codebase really quickly.
Tangentially related, there was an interesting Reddit post on this a few years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/2ayhkp/if_someo...

Also works great with fx (https://github.com/antonmedv/fx). Just pipe the output from HTTPie and you get easy json processing.
Why not use tensorflow.js or onnx.js and just do this in the browser/locally? Models have gotten good and this type of classification is very cheap these days. Hitting the network for such a small task is very much overkill
No, if I leave a job, then I have left. There is no reason I would need details of business communications or meetings from a former job in my personal life.
This I know. The point isn't how one might do it, or whether it can be done¹. The point is that Fowler has issues with anemic objects, even though there are patterns in distrubuted computing best solved by anemic objects.

¹ Note that reconstitution does not do away with anemic objects - reconstitution does not implement logic in a purely object-oriented way, i.e. the logic does not travel, but the data does.
I've got high cholesterol from both parents -- when I was first tested (around 25), my total cholesterol was ~250, my HDLs were < 20. I had ran multiple half marathons that year, and I was eating rather well.

My doctor asked me to try cutting cholesterol out of my diet, and it helped remarkably. I went vegan for quite awhile, and added some foods that help with HDL. The next time I got checked, they were amazing.

I've since added some cheese/eggs/fish back into my diet, but I try to keep it low. I hover around 200, with pretty decent HDLs.

Genetic testing showed I (may) have some genetic issues around cholesterol recycling, so it's not a one-size-fits-all thing.

Just as importantly, please add a meta tag that links to the RSS or Atom feed correctly so feed readers can discover it. Medium (which I hate and you should feel bad if you're using) finally added RSS feeds, but I still have to try and figure out what the hell they are every single time because they're not linked from anywhere and can't be discovered by my feed reader.
+1 I got a lot of mileage out of the triple model when working with social media data. You just don’t know what data patterns you will find when you start looking, and need to support generic queries.

that's #16, though perhaps I should just say that the reason the response is empty is that Google is redirecting you. I'd love more suggestions for curl exercises though :)
It depends on a few things, primarily what the data is you are backing up, who the company is and what your role is.

If you are backing up source code from their systems onto your own drives, you are pretty much in violation of both moral and legal obligations. Emails could be argued could go either way, if the email contained trade secrets or other IP or protected data then you could still be in violation. If you forwarded an email on personal appointments that you had on your work calendar than generally that is safe.

As for the black hole of life, I have a couple of fairly significant times periods you could consider black holes. One especially is sad because I feel it is where I did some of the most awesome work of my career but I just don't have anything to share or show for it since it was all the companies work. I didn't keep one iota of anything from them because it wasn't mine.

I know of some companies that do install file transfer watchers. So the moving of any file on or off the computer is logged and monitored, but keystrokes are not. So doesn't take a keystroke logger. When I ran IT and development for a medical company we installed network based file detection so we could also see if people were moving more data or data that matched certain patterns around on the network. This let us take those logs and tie them to computers and people and see if it was authorized. We also had software on all the computers that monitored files on/off and blocked USB and CD/DVD drives. Eventually we uninstalled all CD/DVD and started ordering machines without USB (that was a chore and so not worth it IMO).
Does the linux kernel steal my data though? It's free.
Your comment is very interesting, but I have to ask, perhaps naively, is curl the right place "to do OAuth"? Isn't its implementation more of an application level initiative?

I am interested in this because we're starting to work on a project where these two ingredients will come together.
> This may be what more studies in the future will look like: Bundle multiple interventions together to help create statistically stronger results, at the cost of less clarity around each individual treatment

I'm probably stating the obvious, but it may also be that multiple interventions together have a larger net effect than the interventions separately would suggest. I recently read an article by a physician arguing for many of his patients, treating ADHD with a combination of a stimulant and a non-stimulant resulted in bigger benefits with less side-effects, due to being able to have a lower dosage for each individual medication[0].

I agree with basically all of the points of this article, one thing I wanted to point out though is that's also important to make time to _try new things_. And I don't mean just try them once, sometimes I've found I need to form a habit out of whatever it is I'm trying before I really enjoy it. Take exercise (or running) as an example. Running when you're out of shape sucks. But give it a couple weeks of running, gradually increasing the length of time and distance you run, and it can become a very enjoyable activity.

That said, its a balancing act, and you cant spend all your time trying new things.
Maybe install the app then?

> Minitel was based on another protocol.

everything was 'based on another protocol' before x25 :D

i think that just like Minitel was one of many services that used the banal packet switching tech at the time, nextcloud is just another banal cloud offering. What is interesting is what will happen soon: truly distributed networks will be for [aws/nextcloud/etc] what the internet was for [minitel/dec/telenet/bbs] users.
Buses are unbelievably slow. Every where I've ever lived, I've looked at the commute difference by car, bike and bus. Buses are universally the slowest option. In the most egregious case I recall, my commute from home to my university (in SoCal, but not LA) was 20-40 minutes by car depending on traffic and ~3 HOURS by bus.

If that laborer decided that his works had to be pay that way, sure.

> How is it "fair" that someone should be entitled to profit again-and-again from a single act of work, just because that work was "creative"?

What he does is owned by himself. He shared it with you on a specific terms, that you don't share it with anyone else.

He profit again and again from his single act of work, because that's how he decided to sell it. There's millions that does a work, sell it and are done with it. I do it everyday at work, I do 8 hours of software development and that source code is now the property of the company where I work. That's my choice though.
A few years ago me and my parents wanted to take a cruise in the Baltic making several 1-2 day stops and I have to say I felt the same way.

The ship was massive and had pools, a restaurant, live entertainment but it was obvious that all the people who were employed were semi indentured servants.

Most were from southeast asia and worked 6-8 months away from their families. What broke my heart is that only a small portion could leave the ship whenever we docked and most didn't seem to have passports that allowed entry to European countries without visa so they would just wait in the dock and use up the wifi to face time their spouses and children. Except the wife was really bad and the bandwidth quickly peaked and most were left just being miserable.

It was nice being able to visit all these countries that would otherwise have cost a fortune but man the pure human suffering really broke me.
So block roads in metro areas. Have park and rides on the outskirts. You can keep using your car to travel around the suburbs, you (and your 700,000 friends) just can't keep bringing it into the city every morning.

Curiosity question, will most modern RSS-readers be able to find an RSS link on their own, or is it a good idea for me to include a link on a homepage that users can copy-paste?

I've never advertised any of my rss feeds, I just leave them up at <domain>/rss.xml. I was under the impression that RSS feed locations were mostly standardized, but I'm noticing that the feed location for this blog is at a different URL.
Of course not. It's always going to be shot in the dark, they'll have to put a ton of trust in the information put in front of them.

They aren't going out in the field to interview friends and family.

A single nice family home in the suburbs could have one kid turn out to be a successful judge and the other a drug addict drop-out (even Trump's older brother died an alcoholic). Good luck measuring that honestly from a college entrance office.

Or they decide to live in a different neighborhood, suburb, city, state, or country. That is the primary flaw with all this discussion of theoretical housing markets. Housing markets are not closed systems. Demand is not fixed. People regularly enter into or exit specific housing markets all the time due to changes in prices which prevent these pricing changes from completely flowing through the entirety of the market. It doesn't matter how expensive housing in California gets, most "rich" people will move away before they spend a few thousand dollars a month on SRO housing.
It's kind of funny that the amount of physical media is criticized. It still has 100k books, movies, magazines and other loanable stuff in total. And it's only one of the libraries in Helsinki region, and into which you can order loanable stuff from the other libraries as well.
