Presumably you need some functionality in the dependencies that you use. If you don't use a package manager then your options are:

* Import the dependency manually. This is taking a dependency without the formal description a package manager gives you, making it harder to audit, update etc.

* Write the functionality yourself. This guarantees you are not exposed to malicious code, but it takes time and your solution will likely have more bugs than a widely used solution. You also lose the ability to use other dependencies that build on top (e.g. React components) because you are now outside the mainstream.

What is actually needed is better tooling to analyze and prune dependency graphs.
Ex-religious Jew here. This is a bit of a mis-characterization (though an understandable one). For those who believe the Torah is the infallible word of God, with laws meant to apply universally through the ages and maximize human benefit, then two things must be true:

1) everything, even apparent loopholes, must be included intentionally, and
2) these laws must be formulated in a way that's flexible enough to conform to changing realities, while sturdy enough not to devolve into ambiguity.

The case of the Eruv offers an example of exactly that.

You're right, that the original commandment, as stated, is pretty clear. Carrying outside of (or between) private residences on the Sabbath is prohibited.

The Sabbath is meant to be a day of rest, so the restriction on carrying things to and from anywhere outside of your home would all but force families to stay in-doors, with each other.

BUT... if the demands or realities of a different (i.e. less than ideal) time were to change so that such an arrangement placed too onerous a burden on worshipers, then the law has an escape clause.

Through the incredibly meticulous and tedious construction of a sprawling boundary, any space could become technically "private."

The rationalization would be that though this was a loophole, the sheer difficulty of exploiting it would signal that practitioners of the Sabbath (and especially the Rabbinic authorities needed to approve and supervise an Eruv) literally had no other option than to sidestep the commandment as originally intended.

It's worth noting that relatively few Jewish laws have such escape clauses.

The thinking is that it signals only those laws for which ideal circumstances are required to actually observe them. To be clear, the original commandment always holds (because even when you do construct an Eruv, let's say, you still must have the original commandment in mind), but there is a threshold after which observing this stricture in a surrogate manner is deemed acceptable.

That turned out way longer than I expected...
Micropayments were tried, or at least planned, almost right from the beginning of the web, but no one found a way to make them catch on.

The End of “Someone”
> There are entire ecosystems of academic libraries built around Matlab that can’t all just be picked up and moved to Python.

They can and they are. Python is increasingly displacing everything in the data industry and especially proprietary legacy platforms like Matlab. The number of things you can do in Matlab but not Python is converging on 0, while the inverse is not even worth trying to count.

Major universities are abandoning Matlab, Labview, SPSS, Minitab etc for Python, which is basically the end for them all. The next wave of CS/SE/DS/ML graduates had no exposure to Matlab. It'll linger in electrical engineering for a few more years but will suffer the same fate. In the end, proprietary platforms have no chance against FOSS.

> Example: my girlfriends department writes a world-leading MRI analysis library in Matlab

Siemens is leading the MRI industry and the only place where they're still using Matlab is the legacy platforms that aren't yet listed for updates or aren't worth updating.

The actual leading stuff is done with the same ML tools as the rest of the industry, mostly Tensorflow. Siemens and GE both also have programs to engage and eventually acquire 3rd party ML platforms not a single one of which has anything to do with Labview or Matlab outside of occasionally interfacing with legacy components.

> The inches are the wavelength height from base to top... Meaning that's pretty much what it can get around without impeded.

Yeah, that's not what it means.

"c" being the speed of light in a vacuum (299,792,458 m/s); wavelength in meters, frequency in hertz -- if memory serves!

Agree on mechanical and medical, but:

> Hobbyist wall wart vs. professional wall wart – which one should you be able to trust more not to burn your house down?

I will trust a well-known brand with lots at stake, like Apple. But on the other end of the spectrum, I would put more trust in a charger built from ground-up by a hobbyist I from my local Hackerspace than I would in a random charger off Amazon or AliExpress (and in fact, I had two no-name multi-port USB chargers from China fry themselves).

In general, I'll trust a hobbyist that cares about their craft more than someone doing it for money, unless the latter has their own skin in the game (e.g. doing a bad job would cost them real money, I can sue them, the government could put them in jail).

So with civil engineering, medical care and car manufacturing, I will trust the professionals - because there are strong legal incentives stopping them from cutting all possible corners or doing lots of nefarious things (that doesn't stop these industries from trying, though). But software is a completely different story. There's no protection, no incentives to counterbalance the sociopathy that arises when one optimizes profits too strongly. If you look at modern software, it all looks so great at the point of sale. The bad things - vendor lock-in, excessive telemetry, bad security, selling people out to advertisers, leaking the data due to bad security - all those things hurt users post-sale, and companies know that none of this meaningfully affects their profits in any way.

And even looking at the "normal" industries - at their culture - I have the impression that it's not the "for money" part that's responsible for quality, but the counterbalancing incentives; I think all these industries would be just as bad as software if it weren't for the regulation that retards the profit optimization.
"I'm considering companies with a higher hiring bar than Google."

I'm genuinely intrigued and curious about this one. Care to elaborate please? :) What are the other companies with a higher hiring bar than Google?
The problem is reviewing dependencies is labor-intensive, thus expensive. The economics would justify that being a paid service, like UL/TÜV certification for electronics, but most companies don't actually care enough about security to pay for such a thing.
Sure but in reality most if not all educational institutes that I'm aware of have Matlab licenses, it's what everyone in that particular field uses, and it's better to publish something with Matlab code than nothing at all which is I guess the alternative (it's a means to an end after all).

I can imagine this will change in the long run, but right now there are many valid reasons why people use these tools.
Either...
Kiwi fruit is best savoured with the skin on, after having thoroughly washed it.
...or...
Time is actually speeding up, which is why everyone feels like time speeds up as they get older.

The only reason this is better than “what is your biggest weakness?” is that there is slightly more scope for creativity.

Apache Kafka Overview (With Video Explanation)
Sorry for coming across as implying we're special! I have to learn to watch my hyperbole. While I do value teaching highly on the meaningfulness scale[1], I don't think driving compares just as well with the mathematical argument that the effort expanded/effort saved is constant given the number of passengers you take (which in turn is practically bounded to small-ish n), whereas for software engineering that measure scales entirely differently.

[1]: If anything, I think teaching is more meaningful, using the same argument: do software engineering and you can do one human's job of software engineering. Teach 10 software engineers and you are by extension doing software engineering as 10 humans.

On a side note: if anyone here hasn't tried tutoring/teaching natural sciences/programming in a one-on-one setting or very small group, I seriously recommend it. It's surprisingly similar to software engineering; in many ways, it's wetware engineering! You get to debug the logic in people's brains as they work through problems.
IT is not comparable to SWE.
> Be interesting

To expand on this: Develop yourself outside of your work. You are not your career.

People don't really care much about what exact job you have, as long as it provides stability - both financial and mental. You're no good for anyone if your job takes up all of your time, energy and attention. Your significant other should not need to carry your work-related burdens.

Have interests outside of what you do for a living. I got weird looks when I admitted at my previous job that I don't do much coding in my spare time, but honestly the guy I talked to did coding for work and most of his spare time, all the time. I mean good for him if he's enjoying himself but it's just not for me.

Use your intelligence to expand your horizons. Know what's going on in the news and politics. Read books outside of your niche (outside of fantasy/sci-fi, biographies of people that aren't called Steve or Bill, history of countries on the other side of the world). Find people and social communities outside of your industry. Get out of your comfort zone.

Yep, NASA used it alongside Matlab for the Orion's Guidance and Navigation Control systems. I've never had the chance to use it though, it looks pretty interesting.
I am woman, living in area with equal amount of males and females. Being clean and able to be respectful in basic causual communication is pretty standard here. So is not being narcisstic egomaniac.

And my observation of relationships with those high ego men is that being alone is better. Regardless of how much money they earn, they look more like trap then win.

I think that one parallel issue is the low opinion men have of other males. They assume everyone else is dirty and instantly rude and it just is not so.
I'm not a web dev, not a JavaScript fan, but out of pure curiosity I've been playing with the idea of doing my next side project in node, just to get an idea of what modern Js feels like.

But the whole dependency hell, left-pad and the likes are a real turnoff. So what I'd probably end up with is coding in pure Js without a package manager or "build system". Basically like you did PHP in the 90s. The question is whether I'd end up with anything remotely sane (already assuming it doesn't involve any crypto or similarly complex).
Your definition of interesting might be the most interesting thing in this comment.

I would not say that any of that makes you particularly interesting. Some of it might make you attractive to certain people, but I think that's quite different from what was originally intended by "interesting" in this thread.

"Say it's your hobby"... I suggest actually finding a hobby. Because it will make you happier, not because it will make you "look interesting".
FWIW I never wrote JS and yet I've heard of it.
> First, the CO2 released from burning farmed plants does not increase the CO2 in the atmosphere. It’s a cycle.

Widespread nonsense.

The CO2 emitted through burning plants does not magically turn into plants again. Plants have limited capacity to draw CO2 from the atmosphere and there's plenty of that around already, indistinguishable from "industrial" CO2. Any CO2 added through fires increases atmospheric CO2, any plant burned doesn't increase, but decreases the chances of CO2 removed from the atmosphere in the future.
It's not just you. Screaming heebie-jeebies is exactly the correct response.

People who don't worry about it tell themselves that nothing that matters very much is coded in javascript, obvious exceptions notwithstanding.

Maybe the only practical way left to avoid it is to avoid javascript for things that matter, and to avoid products constructed with javascript for uses that matter. This might be an unpopular observation, but that does not make it wrong.

It is possible that WASM can fix much of this, at the cost of exposing ourselves to what might be extreme risks inherent in WASM itself. And of course, to whatever dependencies are brought in for the language we compile to WASM.
Regarding London, the 600+ GBP per day contracts are definitely not only for insiders. You probably didn't have the right experience in their eyes. Regarding finance specifically, the industry has its quirks so they like to get people who worked in finance before - otherwise, it can be a bit of a culture shock.
That does not mean lesbians don't exists. It means they were there all along - just not so visible.
Perhaps it comes down to personal preferences and there is no correct answer. I rewrote one of my apps in Flutter to test it; there were some things that were better, and some things much worse. I mean when React Native goes wrong on some build it's like 24 hours of trying to recompile and the pain is palpable.

Ultimately I decided against using flutter, personally. Dart is okay, actually I quite liked it, but the flutter syntax is verbose is a special way; when you effectively require your IDE to code for you that to my old bones is a certain type of code smell and something is fundamentally amiss.

I may have been doing it wrong, but centering and styling text didn't feel like it should be a widget for each single thing.
Prepping for algorithms is somewhat mandatory if you've never encountered those types of questions before, as you'll most likely fail without some familiarity/practice. However once you're able to do well enough on them, they're actually the least important for senior engineers. Algorithm questions are mostly just treated as a weeder/low tech bar for senior engineers.

Doing well on the behavioral, architecture, and practical interviews is usually much more important for senior candidates.
Open-source projects can and do change maintainers. Adding a dependency means you not only trust the maintainer now, but you also trust all future maintainers of the project.

Dependencies are more dangerous (in this sense) because they compile into your application, so they can do anything they like to your customer data. A malicious tool could monitor your keystrokes and phone home, but it won't get installed on your production server.

A further problem with npm dependencies is that they get told when they're operating in dev mode and when in production mode. So malicious code can hide itself during dev and test, and then only do the bad thing on the production server.
Depends on what you're buying. I made a similar move from SV to Munich, some things got cheaper, like rent, transportation, childcare, and groceries. "Stuff" (anything that comes out of a factory) was generally more expensive, as was media/digital subscriptions. Definitely feel poorer in Munich, though part of that was just an unfortunate school situation.

I'm not talking about a specific man and physical attractiveness is just one of many aspects. In aggregate, it seems reasonable to believe that the gender imbalance causes men to lower their standards.

> Dude sounds like catch.

That's sort of the point.
> If I burn a plant that contains 10 kg of carbon and then grow a plant that contains 10 kg of carbon then in terms of carbon in the atmosphere it should be a net zero effect.

No, because the plant you burned would have pulled more CO2 from the atmosphere if it had stayed alive, there's plenty of CO2 around already to feed other plants in the mean time. So the net effect is negative. If you can't grasp the logic, think about what happens if you burn all the plants. Some will grow back, but not all.

For me a 5-10m jog at medium pace is a good way to warm up. Don't get tired, barely get out of breath, just stretch your muscles and get your body ready for the rest of the session.

If you prefer to stretch then do that instead :)
“We’ve literally had passengers with tickets in their hands looking out the window of the gate at us as we were boxing up our equipment to leave”

I do hope this is only after minor repairs, and that after taking apart and reassembling an airframe the plane first goes up and comes down again with only a test pilot/crew.
Now imagine having one of these incomes but having a spouse who is hellbent on moving back to the southeastern U.S. in a year. It’s driving me nuts; I can’t find any company in the south that pays anywhere near my current compensation, and a rough calculation indicates that leaving FANG will bump my retirement age from 38 to 65 (never mind the amazing health insurance I’ll be giving up too). It’s like throwing a winning lottery ticket on the ground and walking away. I’m seriously considering commuting by plane in the future, because even with a $200 per day flight, I would still retire a decade earlier than taking a local job.
What a stupid premise. The Apache version 2 license permits, well, pretty much any use of the software, source or binary. The Sun/Oracle copyrights do not.
