Agreed. But the way I see it, the reason for all these sacrifices is so that other people can live a better, happier life.

On the one hand, I'm with 'icelancer here - there's not enough driven people in the society (that is, driven to do things, and not driven to gain status by incidentally doing some things). The more they are, the faster things can improve. On the other hand, everything seems to indicate that there will always be something to improve, so if everyone was driven like this, nobody would be left to enjoy the fruits of these sacrifices, making them ultimately pointless.

I don't know what the right balance is. I know I myself am not going to pressure anyone into seeking meaning outside their social circle and entertainment. From what I've observed, there seems to be a default balance - some people are happy with having a decent and a loving circle of friends (like OP), and some are unhappy with it (like myself). I see no good justification for forcing either kind to change, and I don't see either as better or worse than the other.
Software isn't magic. It is either a product or a service the value of which is either a typical business question of marketplace penetration or internal expense reduction. That's it, but that isn't what this thread is about.
Agreed. Otherwise the story makes no sense. It's always been the case that hedge funds pay more than banks just like silicon valley pays more than government. This is so well known, I knew it when I was a kid and people outside of the finance industry are aware of it.
Are you sure this is true? Doesn't delve for example build Go source with special flags (gcflags=all='-N -l')to generate debugging symbols. I also remember having to build Go code with those flags for Stackdriver to get the correct debugging information without any optimisations.
There's POCOs, of course.

Hedge Funds have always paid quants significantly better.

In the past decade or so many banks have built out their engineering teams. Goldman is now 25% engineers. More recently these banks have started to compete with hedge funds for the same quant talent that can better take advantage of their new technical prowess. But the comparatively strict compensation structure still means you can make a lot more on the buy side.
Shouldn't you be asking the law makers and law enforcers that question?

If you support such laws, shouldn't you ask yourself the same question?

Illegal != immoral, after all.
Oh neat, that's quite cool. I was hoping to write an Android app for magic-wormhole -- so you could share files with mobile devices. Packaging Go on Android is much nicer than Python, so I might revive that idea at some point.
I thought now with securities with negative interest there were a lot of securities that now had to take that into account and black-scholes is just no help whatsoever there.

>it's not just this article. I feel the pressure in my every day life.

Why? It's your life. You're the only one living it. Live it how you want. It doesn't matter what other people do. If you're happy and fulfilled doing the things you do, that's awesome. Honestly, that's really the best most people can and should strive for in their lives. Some people just aren't contented or fulfilled doing those things, that's fine too.

Everyone lives their own life, it's cool to see what other people do and be inspired by it, but no one's really forcing you if you really don't want to. But if you feel pressure, maybe you're not as fulfilled as you think?
It might be because only a small fraction of mostly out-of-state/-country transplant knowledge workers are living well. Meanwhile, they price nearly everyone else out of the real-estate market and drive up costs-of-living. This leads to janitors and normal people living in their cars because they cannot afford rent or sky-high gas prices ($3.99/gallon vs. $1.99/gallon elsewhere) because they don’t receive livable wages. And also, conservatively, several thousand homeless people living under bridges, along freeway onramp embankments and so on like a dispersed favela of a third-world country. It’s embarrassing that people aren’t treated more humanely in such a ridiculously rich country.

I was not familiar with it. It looks like you could build a good-enough file transfer system on top of UDT, but probably not with the rate control protocols they provide.

One problem with UDP protocols over the open internet is that you cannot trust UDP packet contents, which could come from anywhere.

Can you elaborate on this? Which recent development are you referring to? Thanks.
I know several Scandinavians personally who help their friends & family monetarily. It's also real common in Estonia, which is about a hundred miles from Scandinavia. Thus I don't think helping family is something that is missing in the region. More likely it's just a blind spot for spottybanana.
Personally speaking, coming up from deep focus tends to put me in an anxious state and sometimes gives me minor panic attacks.

If anyone reading this is in the same boat, I’d like to pass along some simple advice that a friend gave me: get up and go for a quick vigorous run around the block. I’ve found this to be a very effective way to reset.

do they also work you more?
One of the key functions of a cell tower is to know what devices are connecting to it. This is important information for things like routing calls, delivering messages, etc. As you say, all of that can and should be encrypted.

With that in mind, there's not really any kind of reasonable way to hide what devices are connecting to what tower. This is where location information comes from. It's really an inescapable part of how cellular devices work.

Inbound / outbound numbers are something that has to be available for similar reasons. There's also clear legal precedent making those accessible to law enforcement and not requiring a warrant. There's little to be gained by trying to encrypt them, even if it was possible.

Call and text comments are the things here that can be encrypted. It's not something the phone companies are in a rush to do.

I've wanted this for a while. For example, every time I have a conversation with a contractor, CS rep, etc. I wish I could add a quick note about what was discussed and attach any supporting documents.

I want to enter these chronologically, as they happen, but then have them viewable like email threads (like the main GMail view) grouped by business or general topic (like "House Maintenance"), with the most active threads shown first!
Well, I think you're right about needing a fresh pair of eyes. And, as a pro writer you probably made less mistakes than most.

You paid low-to-below market rate to an ex-intern early stage career and I compared to a 20+ year proofreader in academic for ESL. Probably fishes to bicycles. I think you got what you needed which was a light touch confidence spellchecker.

> Remember when Microsoft sued OpenOffice for building a functional free competitor? Or when Sun sued Python?

They never did. They never did.

Both companies did some evil things in the 90s and 00s (Microsoft arguably much worse than Sun) but not what you described here. There were some worries from words that Microsoft might sue OpenOffice users. Sun never sued "Python" (you cannot sue a programming language, for starters).

..and why specifically Ubuntu Touch? There are other FOSS options available. Ubuntu Touch never took off, and is now a community project. Even Windows Phone failed. I put my money on Sailfish OS as platform #3 (if we ignore KaiOS) which is partly FOSS. Why SFOS? Because it will get adoption in non-Western markets such as Russia and India. Countries don't want to be dependent on US proprietary code because it isn't auditable, and these companies in the end do what the US government asks or demands them to do. I'm also curious what is going to happen with the Chinese Android fork led by Huawei.

I'm going to call bullshit on that. Federal minimum wage is over $1000 per month at full time and I've seen 2br in my county for $550+utilities. I don't disagree with your general point but that report did a piss-poor job. I suspect they only looked in urban areas.

It resonates with me. I hit that once, at my 2nd year at university, as I was in a pretty bad emotional state which almost led me to drop off. Something clicked in my brain then, and I rebounded to extreme levels of drive and productivity (and a weird sense of humor). I nailed that year, went straight from "doesn't even attend classes" to the best student on the year. I earned a pretty good reputation with both my fellow students and faculty members alike. Unfortunately, the effect mostly went away the next year; I regressed to the mean, neither at my worst, nor at my best.

I'd really, really like to know how to enter that state again, and sustain it for longer.
I can be wrong but I doubt that Germany has anything similar because one way to avoid the tax in France was to buy from Germany.

The French tax is pretty high. It could be something like 50€ out of a 150€ hard drive.
I have never explored Flutter.

Coming from a web background, React Native made the most sense for me. Since I started using it a year ago, I absolutely love it. Great community with constant updates from Facebook, tons of articles/blogs/courses on how to learn it and there hasn't been a single feature Ive wanted to build but couldn't due to some lib restriction

Do y'all remember the (likely fake, but widely reported) news about Israeli stingrays in DC a few months back, in September of this year? Whatever happened to that story? It was memory holed very quickly, which makes me suspicious that those weren't actually Israeli stingrays.
You can link games you buy outside of Steam to your steam account. This provides users all the upsides of a steam purchase without all of the steam limitations.

Further, many games purchased on Steam provide keys that work without using the steam account.
Things are of course not so black-and-white. It is hard to discuss these things at a general or abstract level, since things are often different in practice than they are in theory. But my point was to show that there are actual reasonable arguments that you can make in favor of and against static typing, without being disingenuous. For example, you can argue that static types hurt more than they help during refactoring, but the claim is not so obvious that anyone who says otherwise is simply a static typing zealot.

The irony is a dragnet facial recognition system has existed for at least 10 years that looks for people on watch lists. I know this for a fact because a friend of mine at a big name forensics shop was at a security research conference after-party and took selfies with some random people. Not a few hours later did he receive an awkward/creepy call from his boss that his bosses received a call from a government three-letter-agency person who noticed that said friend was spotted in a picture with a “foreign agent.” Sure, it’s good to know if there’s people out there who are intent on stealing trade secrets but the process of placing millions of people on watch lists doesn’t seem to lead to much than arbitrary paranoia and intentional political harassment conflated with a kernel of legitimate “baddies.”
F# is my most productive language - it's hard to be beat strong typing w/type-inference, modeling with DU's, pattern matching, indent syntax (by default, unless you don't want it), and the .Net(core) lib/runtime. It's especially nice now that VSCode/VStud have plug-in's that show the inferred type signatures.

The tooling is pretty good now, but there are still pain points (breakpointing/stepping pipes |>, inlines, and pattern matching expressions), but even w/that said the tooling is probably above avg. now. If you want the best refactoring and debugging experience (Resharper, OzCode, etc.) the C# is still the best there.
Why does law enforcement bother? Can't they just get the info from the telcos?

To be fair they aren't entirely comparable even if they are both talked about as targetting. The Obama campaign was more about organizing as opposed to underhanded actions like abusing loose permissions.

The emphasis of reporting on the targetting as opposed to the worse moral dodginess confuses me even from a cynical "assume jealousy from old media" perspective. I only have vague guesses of incompetence for not emphasizing the even worse parts or not being their target audience.
To me, a eInk/transflective display totally make sense on a smartwatch energy-wise compared to a LCD, even though it's not as visually appealing.
There would be no debt forgiveness involved. It would be a forced cram down imposed on bondholders against their will.
This is Adobe we're talking about, their video editor can't handle multiple audio streams in standard video formats and codecs (think game capture footage with game audio and microphone on separate channels), in fucking 2019. It can tell there's multiple streams, but it doesn't detect the sizes of any of them past the first one, and won't let you use them as-is; you need to extract them from the video container and import them as audio files and manually sync them to the timeline.

And some people suggest I'm supposed to feel guilty for pirating their stuff. Hah.

I work for ZEIT (https://zeit.co/home) the creators of next js and the best place to host your static content. It'd be awesome if you give our platform a try and help you out to host your content the best way possible.

While I mourn the loss of cheap and quick options in SF, I didn't lose much sleep over that particular restaurant. I had sporadic access to the back-of-house at that BK for various reasons (that I won't explain here) and I'm sure it was only scraping by on health inspections. Rats, poor handling of trash, terrible smell, etc. It was closed once in 2016 for some of the above. You can't have a good third place when it's also a biohazard.

All this to say, however, that I agree with you that formula retail shouldn't be demonized by SF as much as it is.

This might be a little bit of a “hot-take”, but if idiomatic code written by a competent senior engineer remains inscrutable and unmodifiable after around 2 weeks of training an engineer who is at the beginning of their professional career, then that language is probably a bad choice to use in production. If lenses, MTL, fancy concurrency are “the way” to do things in Haskell, and those require an extraordinary amount of time to learn, then Haskell may not be a good choice for production code from a sociological POV.

I haven’t used Haskell professionally so I can’t actually weigh in on the veracity of the prominence of difficult-to-learn code. I do know about using another “weird” language though: Common Lisp. We at Rigetti took a bet with Common Lisp and it passes the “senior-written idiomatic code can be junior-learned and modified” smoke test with flying colors. Every group of interns and every new grad that has become involved in the tens of thousands of lines of code has been able to contribute substantially in less than two weeks.

Let's be real: Programmers plagiarize all the time. Especially other people's code, but it can often be from peer-reviewed journal articles, other peer-reviewed literature, literature in general, or just something off the internet.

It is in everyone's best interest to comment their code and provide where their information came from. More likely than not, you are no super-genius, and you needed this information to finish your project. It is highly unlikely that anybody can do this on their own.

It is no big deal to cite where you are getting your information. It is important in case somebody needs to review your project.
It's 3% points, and the points are redeemed at 1.5X on travels (hotels/flights/rental cars/etc.), for a total effective 4.5%. For a concrete example, $10k spent on dining/travel will yield 30k points, which can be redeemed for $450 worth of flights/hotels/etc.

And the effective annual fee is $150 because the only way to not earn the $300 travel credit is to essentially not use the card at all, at which point you definitely shouldn't have the card anyway.

So at the end of the day you "only" have to spend $3,333.33 on dining/travel to pay back the fee, and that's before considering the other perks it gets you like: It pays for Global Entry/TSA PreChek, it comes with included primary insurance for rental cards, and it effectively upgrades the value of points earned on other Chase UR cards, since you can transfer the points to the Reserve first before redeeming them, to get that 50% bonus.

For example, I'm currently doing the 80k point intro offer on the Chase Ink Business Preferred. With the 25% bonus of that card, those points "only" redeem for $1000 worth of travel, but, transfer those 80k points to the Reserve before spending them and now they redeem for $1,200 worth of travel. So the Reserve is more than paying for itself this year just by increasing the value of the rewards from another card I have.
