I've always used a mantra of "You can't win the game without playing it".
A large majority of recruiters and job searchers in the world use LinkedIn. If you're not willing to throw yourself out there in the LinkedIn world, I think you'll find you're not opening yourself to enough opportunities for your career growth.
This is strictly from a growth perspective though.

I got my current job and wake up incredibly happy every day, and this opportunity only came because I glossed-up my linked-in profile and a few recruiters expressed interest.

Linked-In networking might be a terrible and sometimes cringe-y game to play, but trust me, you'll be glad you expended the few braincells it took to fake it when employers and recruiters start knocking.

> Plagiarizing some work doesn't really hurt the work, it hurts you.

Funny enough, this idea is almost certainly one you are plagairising. Perhaps you could find nuance, depth, and understanding by turning those words on themself?

Somehow I feel like most of the debate here centers on these words:

> The purpose of <foo> is <bar>.

That little word "the" there at the beginning seems a bit myopic to me. I mean, clearly, something like writing functions in more ways than one. Here are some other potential purposes of writing, off the top of my head:

* Deconstruct your personal ontology,

* Intrinsic artistic value,

* Emotional expression,

* Elucidation of unconscious grammatical habits,

* Social signaling.

Any of those are perfectly functional operations of the writing act, and a few of them actually benefit by plagiarising (Identifying these is left as an exercise for the reader). Of course, saying that "university should allow students to operate under any possible goal framework" is a different matter, but hopefully that at least points toward one way of thinking with more nuance about plagiarism.
It looks like the only way progressives can confront surveillance in 2020 is by attacking it whenever it becomes racist: "algorithmic racism". One would assume that they wouldn't object to the same technology which oppressed in a racially equitable manner.
You don't need to techsplain this in hackernews of all places, it's cringey. You must be a perpetual contrarian, it makes you special.

There is a direct line between police use of Rekognition and the pretence to squash the freedom to protest. But you knew that, you just purposely have your blinders on to protect your worldview. Enjoy your leather sandwich.
It may be dangerous to blindly trust that a language is good based on a company's success with that language, but a large company deciding to heavily invest resources and take a risk on a language is also evidence that the language has the designs to succeed.
This is such a weird comment. The people don't look not normal.
Exactly this. I don't use dark mode during the day, but sure as hell dark mode by night saves my eyes.
Pardon my pseudo-JavaScript, but given an event handler like this:

const handler = (
message,
data,
req=superagent.post
) => {
if (message === “a”)
return req(“/api/a”, data)
if (message === “b”)
return {label:”b”, value: req(“/api/b”)}
}

By supplying the http client using the default argument on line 4, the client can be replaced when testing with a mock handler:

test(“handler requests /api/a”, t=>
t.assertDeepEqual(
handler(“a”, {b:”c”}, (url, body)=>[url, body])
[“/api/a”, {b:”c”}]
)
)

test(“handler requests /api/b”, t=>
t.assertDeepEqual(
handler(“b”, {b:”c”}, (url, body)=>[url, body])
{label:”b”, value:[“/api/b”, {b:”c”}]}
)
)

You could also write test cases that handle multiple steps, complex transformations, and so on.

It’s really nice being able to specify plainly the inputs and expected outputs of your functions and testing against that! It may not guarantee that everything behaves as the real system but it will catch 100% of your logic errors.
I really didn't think about that one. Yes, it's entirely true, a ton of Android apps are so broken that I would have no reason to buy the app or service.
That is not entirely true, because the internet is inherently international. It is a different kind of anti-trust, though I recognize that laws haven't caught up to it.

Even in the US, Apple does not have even close to a monopoly over Android, anyways. At best they have 50% of the marketshare.

Ah, I see what you mean, that it was not meant to refer to my level of competence. :) I did indeed read the "you" wrong. Thank you for the clarification.
That doesn't make any sense.

Any company trying to build a US social network or social engine through acquiring Facebook or Google would need US advertisers. Otherwise what is the point of having these users.

And if you have US advertisers you will need to have an official US presence. This in turns means you are subject to US law including antitrust. Also a deal of that size would need the US government to sign off on it.

I'm not advocating for anything. I'm just offering an observation as someone that lived there for a decade and loves the area, but now has somewhat of an outsider perspective. Seattle has very deep, fundamental problems that it has no idea how to solve. Homeless tent cities scattered throughout the county are not normal in nearly any other American city. Especially not the ones as wealthy as Seattle. And maybe that is a source of the problem. But it also seems the political leanings of the voters are at odds with the lifestyle they enjoy in the area.
Here's a report by ASPI https://www.aspi.org.au/report/retweeting-through-great-fire...
GDPR – Postman collects HTTP request payload and sends them to their servers
I've contacted them earlier and they admitted that they collect the HTTP payload that you send and receive with it and it is stated in their privacy policy. You probably shouldn't be using it to test API with credentials or sensitive data because it might be a GDPR or other legal violation in your region.
Same here. I’ve been ripped eating nothing but jack In the box. But it’s classic HN dissonance, like how “PHP will sink your project” and other silly things like that

If you choose Ruby, rspec and rspec-expectations (https://relishapp.com/rspec/rspec-expectations/docs) grant you very powerful abilities to write unit tests for your APIs out of the box. You can pretty much mock anything from method calls to network responses.

Also, when running an rspec test that touches/creates/modifies ActiveRecord database objects, the rspec scaffold will automatically create a new database transaction for running your test so that the test database you are using is not affected.

In general, don't worry if the Ruby that you write looks nothing like the concise and sometimes 'magic' Ruby that more experienced developers can produce. You'll get there when you get there. Try to learn as much about Enumerables as you can https://ruby-doc.org/core/Enumerable.html

Vue.js is a good choice. Not as popular as React... yet.

Rails, as other commenters have noted, has a learning curve. As long as you try to stick within the normal usages of Rails, you should be fine.

Whatever you do with Rails, stay far away from their template markup languages (haml). Write the front-end in Vue.js, consuming APIs, don't do any server-side rendering of anything. If you really want to do server-side front-end, ditch Ruby/Rails and just go full blown Node.js front and back end.

Good luck, just get started!

> You mentioned in the paper that Google is going to be blocking third-party cookies in its Chrome browser, which is the biggest browser in the world. This has been presented as a victory for privacy, but you suggest actually it’s another way for Google to shut out other people who want to do digital advertising.

I find it interesting that the HN crowd loved that Apple was blocking 3rd party cookies in Safari but now that Chrome is about to do the same suddenly it's evil.

If it is evil then it was evil even when Apple started doing it. If it's good that Apple did it then it's good that Google is following.

The article basically argues it's evil and both Google and Apple should stop blocking 3rd party cookies because having 3rd party cookies provides opportunity for more competition

> We need to explain that the information about you can be passed among 25 different ad tech companies or it can be passed among 25 parts of Google. Which one of those is better or safer? That’s hard to know. I know which one of them is cheaper—the one where there’s competition. And it’s also better for consumers in the sense of stimulating the content that they want to consume on the internet.

I know several students who've transferred to WGU (RA, non-profit, online) to complete their bachelors degrees.

There are also students compiling lists of schools which will consider and/or accept UoPeople credits/degrees.

https://www.reddit.com/r/UoPeople/comments/g55smv/list_of_in...

The idea that UoPeople is some kind of academic dead-end is simply not accurate. It's not going to get as far as a degree from a no-name state uni on its own, but it can definitely be leveraged to further one's goals.
Thank you. I think people discount the power of speaking out. Don't worry about the negativity. Speak the truth, and it's all that can be asked of you.
Hardcore test-all-the-things people would likely tell you to break whatever is in step 2 up into functions such that the webhook data are passed as parameters into a function, that all the HTTP request/response work is encapsulated into a separate function, and that the function under test should make calls to these.

Really hardcore ones might even suggest having separate functions for all these things, each of which can be tested as a single unit.

These people are, in my view, making a categorical error (that more testing of this sort means higher confidence and better quality code).

It would seem to be blocking 3rd party cookies is good and it's a net negative for Google because their analytics stop working. The article suggests google has more data than their competitors so it's a net positive to them. That might be true for small competitors.

I returned to college after 10 years in the insurance industry. I’ve always viewed programming as a hobby, but decided to take the leap and pursue a career that I might actually enjoy.

Anyway, I notice a lot of younger students have this attitude and it frankly causes them to produce really crappy work. As long as they pass the class, they don’t really care to absorb the material.

I can’t help but wonder what kind of job they’re hoping to get when they leave school. What will happen when they get a technical interview? I can’t imagine them doing anything beyond answering phones at a company’s IT Help Desk.

I dunno. I listen to every word the professors say as if they’re telling me the secret to eternal life while half the class is dozing off.

Both of these represent the same phenomenon as the modern police force, which is class oppression (in the first case anti-intellectual misogyny, in the second the same base racism underlying the current struggle). Communities can and will self-regulate, when let out from under the thumb of state-sanctioned violence.
Seattle also added a massive amount of people and housing went up 2.3x. those economic factors likely outweighed anything the government did by far.

When I moved here in 2010 the cola was 30% more than St Louis. It's now over 3x.
Because they're the only ones really not playing by the neoliberal rules.

I mean look, whatever people in capitalist circles want to believe, China never really gave up on communism. They repurposed capitalism's weighing machine, and with that, there were people who got rich, which makes it look like Western-style capitalism. But the whole point of the "shadow banking system" and "state-owned enterprise" was to encapsulate a party-run state-driven "communist" system, to ensure reasonably ample work for the workers, and, to ensure a backstop to private enterprise. Maybe it's somewhat like the way Apple has baseline apps that are good enough, and then an app store for everything else. Or another analogy would be the U.S. Postal Service. Not efficient, but it works.

To be clear, globalization has been quite predatory towards weaker developing countries with less centralized authority – and hence – bargaining power. China "won" globalization by subverting it, and indeed, in hindsight, this was the only way for a developing country to win.

"They're giving away a product to you literally for free, and you're complaining about a lack of support?"

I think he/she is saying that isn't how they should do business. Maybe they should charge.

From an antitrust perspective, giving away something for free isn't generally seen as benevolent, it is often seen as predatory. Microsoft got in a lot of trouble for giving away IE "for free." They did it to kill Netscape's business model.

Are you suggesting Google is doing it out of the kindness of their heart?

A healthy market isn't one company giving things away for free, making their money indirectly, and squashing all competitors.
I've always been curious about this. My fiction is that if someone spent the time they'd find a few sources of most of the flakiness and and at some point the flakiness would fall drastically. Like maybe there are 1000 flaky tests but fixing 20 bugs would clear up 900 of those flaky tests.

No idea if it's true. My experience though is that programmer A who has no domain knowledge of the issue marks test as flaky and files a bug. That bug is completely ignored and there's a giant pile of flaky test and people wondering why stuff broke and it turns out because 1000s of tests are being ignored as flaky
