Hopefully this pushes more people to use open source software.
The argument for universal rights is not a dismissal of reality, but rather a tool for creating a reality that is better than a harsh state of nature where you have to bargain for your very existence.
Suppose I can't use a product because of a disability. Do I sue a company for making the product available to others who can use it? The ADA says I have the legal right to do so, but the mentality that "if I can't enjoy something, nobody should" is immoral.
Can you give me an example of something a non-white, non-middle class person can't say or do in public? Maybe it's my limited world-view, but I can't think of anything specific.
I prefer using "tig" for browsing the commit log. "git log" is just not usable in real world.

Stash is something I try to avoid after multiple accidents.
In other words they do pick a side - they side with Chinese government, because the communist party has a leverage on them.

But we have a leverage too!

If we manage to damage their brand and profit, they may decide that censorship is not to their benefit.

We need to be loud and clear - communism will not be tolerated. Otherwise, it will start to creep trough Blizzard and many other companies, and limit our freedoms too.
Mostly I used Adobe Illustrator, building up the shapes and exporting as CSV. I also did some hand-editing of the SVGs in Sublime for fine tuning, SVGs are just XML so it's not difficult to adjust colors or nudge nodes in a text editor.
How are you funded? Because this honestly looks quite complete.
The difference is that in capitalism you can pay the owner to see it. Most of the people who are blocked from one source by copyright probably have it available on a paid streaming service.
Yea the expert abstraction thing is bad advice, too many juniors (who probably already over abstract everything) will read this and think they need more abstraction.

The difference I think the author was trying to hit is that an expert uses abstraction to achieve separation of concerns, an important and difficult thing to do.

A junior doesn't know what separation of concerns is but they see the experts abstracting stuff and think they should abstract things then they will be like the experts.
Hey, I wonder where did you get the less liberal part? From my experience China has become greatly more liberal during the last 30-50 years. When Nixon "opened up" China it was during the culture revolution and those were really tragic years for Chinese people. Since then average Chinese has become less poor and more liberal steadily each year.
Well, clearly there are classes of people we do think shouldn't exist. I think there shouldn't be any murderers for instance and I support policies of putting people who commit murder in jail so as to stop it. I'm also entirely fine with people having gay sex and I'd strongly oppose laws against that. But between those two there are gray zones where we really do need to have rational arguments about whether some groups should exist or not.
This is why Trump's trade war is the only thing he's done that I support. I'm not even sure he's doing it for the right reasons, but at this point trashing the economic coziness between our nations is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. This can't continue.

And in addition to chilling investment in/from China it's giving India and Vietnam an opportunity to get footholds in manufacturing, weakening the sector that was central to making China such a powerhouse to begin with.
An extra £200 a month before tax -and how much effort doe that require.
Except the reality is the "west" has gotten much richer as well.

Trade with China has been a huge win win. Quality of life in the "West" is significantly greater thanks to trade with China.

The problem is that the "West" took the vast majority of the benefits it gained from that trade and concentrated it in the hands of a few hundred people. The destruction of labour unions and the taxation regime has crushed the lower classes, not trade with China.

Also, for all the issues with China, it's still a significantly better country than it was before Nixon visited China.

Finally, the "West" hasn't been fooled by China for at least a decade. In fact, the US spearheaded a massive effort to resolve the China problem through the TPP which would have been an extremely effective way of getting China to open up (by providing companies who are currently dependent on China alternatives amongst China's neighbors but this time with an agreed upon IP protection regime which would have prevented Vietnam, say, from becoming China 2.0.

If anything, the current haphazard tariff regime has been far more beneficial to the Chinese Leader for Life by creating an us vs them narrative which has pretty much eliminated the chances of any domestic pressure.
It's quite a common scenario for Indic-language users. I'm mainly typing in English and, depending on context and the audience, sometimes in two other Indic languages using the Latin alphabet.

There are a lot of reasons for this, and I don't think I'm alone here:

* Like many Indic language users I speak and understand multiple languages and I'd like to contextually reflect this in my IMs

* Relative lack of fluency/comfort reading Indic script (almost each Indic language has a different abiguda)

* A pronounced lack of experience typing using the multiple abigudas, all of which are more complex to type than the Latin alphabet

I'd really like to be able to type Indic words using Latin script without fighting with autocorrect -- or turning it off altogether.

You spelled it in pinyin right, but your IME chose the wrong character. That may be deliberate censorship by the conversion dictionary compilers.
I think "Show, Don't Tell" is excellent advice and not just in writing: it's even more valuable for filmmakers. You should be able to watch a movie with no sound and follow the plot.

Of course there aren't actual rules and the best writers break the not-actual-rules all the time. But a lot of really bad writing does seem to involve telling rather than showing. And isn't the goal of writing classes the elimination of really bad writing?

I'm very skeptical of the idea that someone can be taught to be a (good) novelist. I don't think that someone can lend you their model; I think you have to develop your own. Cormac McCarthy explained his use of punctuation with "There’s no reason to blot the page up with weird little marks. I mean, if you write properly you shouldn’t have to punctuate." I find that quote hysterically funny. I don't have a strong opinion about whether he's right. Rather, I think the whole point is that he has a strong sense of what good writing is and it's his.
You could make the argument that the bigger problem, still, is China's lack of political diversity. One party has supreme control.
Amazon: Chronicles of a Personalization Giant (PDF Book)
God help us when South Park is helping us find our moral compass...
China pollutes more than the US. Also anybody can see that they are gearing up for a conflict to obtain hegemony. They are the ones posturing for inevitable conflict... just so they can gain more power over the world. Look at countries that fell into the US sphere of influence... Europe, South Korea. Things aren't to bad in those places huh?
In the first-of-its-kind research project, 6 analysts from Dynamic Yield, AI-powered Personalization Anywhere™ platform, identified, tracked, categorized, and analyzed instances of a tailored approach across Amazon’s various digital properties for different geo-locations, devices, demographics, subscription levels, and more.

The result of 600 hours of exploration, Chronicles of a Personalization Giant unearths all of this and more – highly valuable intel for any company looking to deliver more relevant experiences, the free resource comes with 70+ real use cases Amazon currently deploys.

> Even with that, the SQL would be parsed once per connection?

In a webserver-like context it's once per query one way or another - the server process is stateless-ish between page loads, so each page load is either a from-scratch connection or a connection taken from a pool, but even if you're pooling you can't use prepared statements in practice (you can't leave a prepared statement on a connection that you return to the pool because you'll eventually exhaust the database server's memory that way, and you'd have to resubmit the prepared statement every time you took a connection out of the pool anyway because there's no way to know whether this connection has run this page already or not).

If you assume a page that's just displaying one database row, which is not the only use case but a common one, then each page load is one query and that query will have to be parsed for each page load, short of doing something like building a global set of all your application's queries and having your connection-pool logic initialise them for each connection.

ClojureCLR is up to date with the Clojure on JVM, so not dead at all.
from the other side - I've worked for many years as either the only or the primary person responsible for delivering a project. I've spent a few months on a team in a project this year. The one 'adjustment' I had to make was understanding that if something wasn't delivered, it wasn't "my fault" (or wasn't my fault automatically).

I missed a couple of delivery dates - the world didn't end. I pushed out some stuff with errors - other people on the team picked those up and fixed them. I did the same for others when I could.

The mindset wasn't so much "I'm the only smart person in the room" as "I've spent 10 years being personally responsible for nearly every aspect of every system - and done that reasonably well - and now there's other people in the process". There's some adjustments to make, and sometimes you don't always know the best way to make those adjustments.

Now, some (most?) of the people on that team had < 5 years of professional experience. A couple had ~10-12. I have 25 years. There were times when I tried to offer up my perspective/experience - not because I'm necessarily "smarter" but... if I've seen problems and know how to avoid them... shouldn't we try to avoid them, and help the business avoid those problems?

Now, I have been on teams where I am the smartest person in the room (or... the most productive, or the most accomplished, or whatever). It's not like that all the time, but it does happen sometimes, and it can be awkward. Pretending that everyone has equal skill and experience and that all inputs are valid doesn't benefit the project or business, although it might, in the short term, help team morale by not hurting feelings of some people. Some of those same people might end up leaving at a moment's notice anyway (which I've seen happen - don't upset person A - they're valuable(!) - then person A leaves with 1 hour notice).

"The idea that rich can bully anyone with lawyers is seductive, but this is The Guardian, a newspaper with its own army of lawyers. Newspaper that published Snowden files and many other controversial things."

Well, a pissed off Schmidt probably represents more of an existential threat to the Guardian (given Alphabet's current geopolitical power) compared to the US government.

I play Hearthstone and sometimes I watch Twitch. I once watched two major hearthstone GMs dissing about how tough and weird they're getting treated by Blizzard during tournaments. Every single word that comes out of mouth is carefully evaluated by supervisors and you have to be stand-by like 10 hours ago before the remote event in front of your PC without any reasons.

This is a good practice. I find that diligently doing like 15 min a day tasks sets you up to subconsciously put your mind to solve problems when you’re busy with less analitical cognitive tasks around the house/family or idle moments. The project’s always on the back of your mind this way and when you spend 15 minutes you’re in the save to disk mode.
This post touches briefly on ujson. I found it a long time ago, and while I can't vouch for the quality of its implementation, it's very popular and seems to work just fine. Any time I've encountered a bottleneck due to parsing, dropping ujson.loads() in has made it completely vanish from profiling output.
I have no idea what the law about this is in Netherland. We do have these kind of little cars for people with disabilities, but sometimes I wonder if they are the only people using these. No idea what kind of license or other requirements there are, though.

Kids can ride scooters from age 14 here, and I do believe (some of?) these mini cars fall under similar rules. On the other hand, police are pretty strict on scooters and proper registration as far as I know.
Solve a problem first, then decide which platforms best help you do that.
I wonder if the heroes of their stories would side with governments like China's.
The article doesn't say anything about Hong Kong or what he said
I've been considering getting a masters. The thing holding me back, is that I worked full time while getting my bachelors and it was a grueling 9 years. I'm not sure I want to go through that again. Though I do dream of quitting my job and going back to school full time. I think that would be fun. I have the money to do it, but the opportunity cost is just too high.

Though I do spend a couple of hours most weekday mornings learning stuff I want to learn. I get up about 5 spend a couple of hours studying and then head into work. The nice thing about studying on my own, is that I can take a break if I need to. Like right now work is real stressful, so I decided to take a week off studying.

The thing is, some CI operations can be triggered by existence of tags.

For example build and test all commits but deploy only if it's on master branch AND has a version tag.
"Censorship" isn't just being imprisoned.

Censorship is the simple act of not allowing someone to say something.

Companies censor all the time. Movie studios. Recording companies.

I've noticed this trend with people, they identify something as negative, in this case censorship, and then they try and contort definitions to excuse their involvement in it. Because that's a bad thing and they're good people and good people don't do bad things.

I'm going to come in with a hot take: censorship isn't inherently bad. It just is. Censorship can be used to focus discussion on what's important. To keep garbage out of discourse. Those are good uses of it. Yes, it can be used to simply silence dissent. That is a bad use. But just because it can be used in a bad way doesn't make it bad itself.

As incredible as it is, $100 appears to be below average monthly cost nowadays for a 4 person family[0] using 150 gallons / person / day [based on a random study that quick search found].

I am not sure who would use 150 gallons a day though. Even 50 gallons (~189 liters) seems a lot to me. If you factor in irrigation system, etc. then maybe you would get to these gallon volumes.

None of these are habits.

they might be considered skills.

The only two skills on there that are useful are involving users, and looking around.

Elegant abstractions? Meh, so long as its simple and works.

What they are not designing? Pfft. if you can't create a clear spec, then you shouldn't really be designing

"as you are such an expert, what is missing?"

1) Communication. If you can't communicate, then you aren't helping

2) Documentation. If its not documented, then its not designed

3) consistency. Just because there are new and shiny thing, doesn't mean you should slam them in.

4) pragmatism. All choices have tradeoffs. Limit the innovation to get things done in time.

There are more, but this is all I can think of right now.
That would be the equivalent of asking them to quit (Or rather get fired from) their jobs. They aren’t paid well enough on average to do this easily.

I hope they do stand up for what they see as right, though. I just understand why they might not.

Can't help but agree. The health effects of computers are not really understood. We've been rushing to harness their power to great effect, but what is the cost of having a computer? I know some people in therapeutic sphere are terrified of technology, saying it replaces people. You only need to dip into some Baudrillard or philosophy in general to see arguments about the impact of computer use, and they basically mirror real life.

I don't know how much of that is the deep dark truth, but there needs to be some separation between the harnessing of computing power for political, social & economic progress and living a normal life.
Many brave people have fought and died for their countries and rights. Its easy to forget that minorities and “unlucky” people fight too; knowing that you’re safe expressing your points of view is something that many have earned, not all have received. That very much sounds like privilege to me.
I don't think it needs to be a moral authority, it can just be an index of well defined problems to lists of the top couple actors responsible for those problems.

Such an organization need not say that you should boycott anything (i.e. be a moral authority) but instead can say that IF you think that American companies participating in the Chinese censorship machine regarding Hong Kong is bad THEN boycotting companies X Y and Z would be effective. The morality comes from the users. In order to organize against a common nebulous baddie we need a mapping from nebulous baddies to actionable targets.

As much as I hate that everything needs to be a social network these days, this probably needs a social aspect--a place where you can post evidence that you cut the power to Company X's headquarters, or whatever, so you can check back occasionally and feel relevant when people attach metadata to your crime.

It would have to be careful to avoid being too specific to be liable for the actions of its users, while not being so vague that users can't use it to channel their frustration towards actions that actually do harm the entities identified. Alternatively, it could be specific as hell but hard to take down.

I guess what I'm proposing is something like Kickstarter, but for civil unrest.
I was a GIMP/Inkscape user first. I have access to the full Creative Cloud Suite but I usually reach for GIMP or Inkscape first because (for me) they are simpler.

I think one area where GIMP/Inkscape are far better is in the export options. Photoshop & Illustrator barely give you any options for jpeg compression or PNG output. GIMP's JPEG export lets me control color subsampling, optimization, and more. Photoshop just gives me 0% - 100% quality.
Audition for an Acquisition
I partially agree with you: The notion of "programming as a hobby" starts to fade for some once they're doing this professionally.

Since I'm working 40h/week as a software engineer I find much less motivation to do PC related stuff (this includes gaming). That was different, I used to do random programming after school just because I could. During university this became less. However, I do enjoy most of my work, so there is that. And this is why I originally started studying physics - I wanted to keep programming as a hobby, but figured out I probably wouldn't really enjoy working in physics and then switched to CS.

Regarding health: I think with this you're wrong. It depends on the "how much". Staring at a monitor 8h at work, driving home, stare at a TV/monitor another 6h munching fast food, go to bed, wake up, repeat; this is probably quite bad. But get home by bike or foot (if feasible), program/game/watch TV for an hour or two, go outside, do some sport, reduce unhealthy food, and you can probably get by quite fine.

My speculation, the problem is the huge dependency the USA has on Chinese manufacturing and now on investments (Hollywood, Silicon Valley, etc). Like, as much as these tariffs are going to hurt us in the short term, I'm not fully against them. It's just like an business, you cannot have a large portion of your income come from one client or rely on just one supplier. You become far too dependent on them and are not willing to cross them, even if their demands don't align with you or really isn't advantageous for you in the long term. But you'll always move that goal post a little for short term happiness until you did it so much, you realize your goal post is in a whole different country.

I'd personally like to see far more diversification in USA imports and exports. A 21.5% dependency on Chinese imports... when I did freelance years ago I panicked over the fact I had a customer that made up 12% of my yearly income. I quickly did a reach out to obtain new customers so I could drop that to roughly 6%. While I understand geopolitics is a different ball game... it's really, really dangerous to have a 20%+ reliance on a supplier. Being shut off that easy on that much of goods and materials, that easily, is pretty scary.
