> more or less a replacement for AD if your clients are unix based

Few people are lucky (?) enough to support a purely unix environment. AD is not expensive when it comes to enterprise-scale projects and plenty of things simply require it for proper support, so I've never seen an enterprise that doesn't have it. I have seen enterprises with classic non-AD pre-Windows-2000 LDAP integrated alongside AD, but usually just as a legacy thing that's too hard to remove.

Considering the amount of resources available to help with AD vs. the amount you'd need to be able to support a 3rd party solution, it should be no surprise MS still has a stranglehold on this. What's more surprising is how badly they've fumbled the use of Azure AD, SSO, ADFS, etc. as real solutions compared to the cloud-first vendors like OneLogin, Duo, Centrify, etc.
Denmark is so tiny compared to the US, it hardly makes sense to compare drug discovery per cápita. If Denmark happens to release just a single extra drug one year, it totally shifts their ratio.

I took advantage of the free redwood days last year and visited a bunch of state parks, and there's definitely a long list of hidden gems. Most just have the $10 parking fee and picnic tables are readily available.

The interesting observation is that choosing one of these parks consists of just going through a boring large list of parks in a boring old gov website and picking one at random. Whereas going to, say, Yosemite and finding sightseeing places largely involves going to google and/or local tourism guides and funnel the same way as everyone else (resulting in, as one might expect, arriving at spots crowded w/ tourists)
> There is almost no cost to the platform developers to add new APIs

To anyone who has ever spent time working on a platform API this is deeply insulting.

> …the costs are borne by the application developers.

Yes, whereas with cross-platform, least common denominator APIs the cost is borne by end users.

This is literally the attitude that lead to Java applets and then Flash, then later mistakes like Web SQL and (P)NaCL.

How do you get health insurance in that situation, our of curiosity? All the employer-sponsored plans that I am familiar with require a minimum 30 hours / wk commitment.

Being an independent contractor is awesome (it's what I did for 100% of my income from 2004 until just a couple of months ago) but the health insurance situation and fear ended up killing it.

Apple knows exactly where their money is coming from and is complicit. They don't care, because Google has the best user experience, and their users that do care are power users that can opt-out. As much as Apple cares about privacy, nothing matches Google in search quality.

Steve Jobs once said in an interview with Wired:

> When you're young, you look at television and think, there's a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that's not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want.

Sadly, I think that quote applies a lot to Google as well. I think a lot of people, and at least anecdotally almost everyone I talk to, just don't/doesn't care about (or maybe understand the threat of) the collection that is happening. In the case of Google, they just want to find stuff on the internet without trying multiple times or adding additional keywords to their search.

Just because Brazilians are burning down their rainforest to raise cows doesn't actually mean they need to burn down their rainforest to raise cows. They could resort to, say, factory farming, in which case the cow will require far less space because it's trapped in a tiny enclosure.
I disagree that the "turning vehicle" scenarios represent false positives. The driver can't possibly know that there isn't e.g. a scooter in front of the turning vehicle. It isn't safe to drive full speed ahead with the assumption that once the turning vehicle is gone, there isn't another obstacle in front of it, and the EAB is correct to brake in these instances.
What you're talking (skipping the queue) about is a two-tiered system, which I would be in-favor of but it is taboo to even bring it up in Canada (or at least, that has been my experience).

Are scrollbars dead in 2019?

> they inverted the magic mouse scroll behaviour to pretend like your iMac was an iPhone.

These are UI/UX conventions. Everything is "pretend".

For example, users whose mental model of scrolling tracks the viewport will want to scroll up to move the content down. The viewport goes in the opposite direction of the content.

Fair enough.

However such users don't seem to want the same for horizontal scrolling. Tracking the viewport left moves the content to the right and vice versa. But horizontal scrolling in macOS always tracks the content regardless of the setting in System Preferences > Trakcpad > Scroll direction: Natural.

The exception (turning it off for "inverted" scrolling or "viewport tracking") is only for vertical scrolling, not horizontal, which suggests the mental model can be adapted though users who prefer viewport tracking report they cannot adjust.
Moving to the US doesn't make you rich though, it merely gives you a better opportunity to become so. That has never changed.

For the intersection of climate change and tech - check out Impact Makers [1] and their Slack community. Plenty of developers, designers, PMs, and data analysts working on various projects and companies across the spectrum of tackling climate change. I'd also recommend looking at and perhaps attending some effective altruism meetups in your city - it's a nice way to meet real people thinking about the same things with similar goals. Lastly I've found the 80,000 Hours website [2] to be a great resource for getting an idea of potential job paths, openings, and resources.

It hasn't been an instant fix but after setting some long-term goals in this space and starting to work towards them I've felt my mental health improve. I hope yours can too!

I actually don't think it's working out. People in general are awful at risk assessment. But, Americans like their choice, even if it means the majority of them will make poor ones.

It's also a downward spiral. The more people are responsible for their own well being, the more they're opposed to "handouts". So those who do take of themselves and do responsibly manage risks I've noticed are the ones more opposed to socialized medicine.

The catch is spotty internet, spotty electricity, no running water ( running water on the main island everywhere else is rainwater collection ), and shitty doctors.

Healthcare is cash only, if you had a serious problem I would recommend going back to the US.

If you spend over 50K for a house you get dual citizenship, you don't give up your US citizenship ( I personally wouldn't move anywhere where you have to give up US citizenship ) , you still pay taxes on any money earned in the US.

It's not a perfect solution at all, you just have to figure out what you value the most.

I will say, I spent 6 months down there, and coming back was hell. Why do we live this way ? The natives their fish out of the ocean for their food, they don't have alarm clocks, they don't have _any_ paperwork, and there some of the happiest people I've ever met. I'd trade my material shit for their freedom most days.
It doesn't seem to be working. U.S. has obesity epidemic and shorter life expectancy than most countries with socialized healthcare.

I recently left a government contracting role which I guess I completely mishandled. Miscommunication and a prejudice management left me in a position were I felt ostracised from other developers...

Of course this didn't really help my imposter syndrome and for two years I struggled with increasing isolation (in a new city), low(ering) self esteem, and feelings of suffocating in a hostile environment.

I don't really understand why it all happened, I know that I have certain character weaknesses that would make me prone to these situations developing... but the specifics on why it happened elude me; ultimately I blame myself.

It's been 2.5 months since I left and I'm struggling to find employment and I don't know why... I've been a day to day programmer for 3+ years, have a computer science qualification, and have some prestigious names on my resume. I guess in the Sydney market (perhaps others too) companies what you to have the relevant experience in specific frameworks (rather than just the tooling), which means I guess it's important to ditch legacy development and ensure you're on top of the most recent buzzwords.

That and with the state of civic participation/oversight, little to no personal engagement, and tiredness around getting asked the same bs questions from recruiters I start to wonder what's the point.

This is through insurance. Cash payment is negotiable and possibly much less, but that’s negotiated case per case.
Obama/Kerry did the Iran nuclear talks and did not invite Israel. Israel deems it necessary for survival to know everything and all they can about Iran. So they (and other capable agencies) basically bugged an entire hotel.

> When the talks shifted to a luxury hotel in Vienna, the microwave radiation from the surveillance efforts of competing intelligence agencies was so intense that diplomats had to walk some distance from the venue to use their mobile phones.

The new US administration, like Israel, very much opposes the nuclear deal. Trump may give the Israelis a proverbial "wildcard" to deal with a certain problem in a private conversation with an advisor. Or he, or the new administration start to hold a more favorable view on an Iran deal. Israel needs to know this as a manner of their national security.

I have found that test suites solve this problem about 98% of the time and are easier to teach people to debug.

That last 2% is pretty damned awkward though. When you have 2 preconditions your tests go cartesian, you have to pick a dominant one. It's always a matter of one sucking less than the other, but that situation isn't stable. It tends to flip as bugs are identified or requirements shift.

Thing is, if it's 3 concerns, and definitely by 4, you're probably due for a refactor anyway, instead of reaching for Cucumber or a similar tool.

>I am staunchly opposed to national borders. I don't think it's right to discriminate against people for where they are born.

National borders are not about "discriminating against people for where they are born", anymore than your family house discriminates against people based on which family they were born into.

One would assume you don't just let anyone in your house, or feed everybody just like you do your children, or share your family assets with the whole neighborhood (even if it would be nice if you did, it, for one, would live less for you. Plus, not everybody is nice and altruistic, but most manage to be that towards their family).

People build a nation as a community, often fighting hard for it to exist (e.g. wars of independence), working hard to make it better, building it's culture, and so on. They have a right to want to preserve their preferred way of life, their culture, and the country/infrastructure/etc they have built (of course not everything is always harmonious inside a nation, the same way things are not all roses all the time inside a family. No human made thing is perfect - and no natural made thing, for that matter).

If nations did not exist, people should still have the right to invent them, that is, to create their own communities with people they share their living on a place, hardships and culture with, build their own thing, and protect it against people who don't share their values or haven't contributed to building them.

In fact nation states didn't exist in the far past, they are a development of enlightenment and modernity. We had empires, and feudal fiefdoms loyal to some remote king, and such before, and people literally struggled to break their pre-nation-state nations (ethnic, cultural and historical groups) free from them...
Mopeds have pedals.
What do you mean, doesn't it do that either way?
I prefer to think in terms of nations.

There is no such thing as a sovereign individual. Unless you refer to the Libertarian cranks hassling cops on YouTube.

In practice, nations can restrict people from moving if they choose to. Perhaps mine won't, but China certainly will.

The reason, by the way, that Oklahoma and California can't restrict migration between them is that US states are not sovereign. The original colonies ceded essential parts of their sovereignty to form a national federal government. This is US history 101.
Even people with good health insurance find all the paperwork a pain in the ass. I'd far rather have decent, not luxury healthcare and no damn paperwork, when I'm sick I am not interested in dealing with administrative nonsense. The entire health insurance industry is parasitical.
You're not wrong. Most of the fresh faces I've worked with have been eager to just make it to their first real project, whatever that takes. Asking questions can get in the way of what leadership will see as progress, and they might not be aware of which questions to ask yet (because they haven't screwed up enough yet, haha).

There are plenty of fresh-faced college grads with good sense to ask those questions though, and I've worked with them. The problem can also be management who hears a good idea, finds out it'll take longer in the short term, and says no - let's move fast and break things or whatever motto you're familiar with.

You can have good foresight and know your team needs proper scaffolding to scale but never get the green light to get it built if the people managing you don't see the value in it.

I live in a European country with a public health care system.
The lowest tax bracket is ~34% and the highest ~44%.

However due to a minimum below which no taxes are paid and other features, the effective rax rate for a $35k salary is ~15%. For a $90k salary it’s about 32%.
A median salary is about $70k.

This is excluding pension (the employer pays that on top to a pension fund).

Public services are pretty good and not expensive for me, they are even cheaper for people in lower income levels.
