I don’t think it’s wrong to prefer to have educated immigrants over non-educated. One creates wealth and resources and the other drains it. One is more likely to be law abiding and the other less likely. If Wakanda existed I doubt there would be much opposition to letting their citizens immigrate.
Or they could stop spying on their customers and trying to figure out how to add dark patterns to maximize "engagement" and "conversion" lol.

I mean yeah, I get that if you inadvertently make the checkout button hard to find, you'll lose potential sales, but I don't think you need intricate data about what your customers are doing to figure that out.
Have a great day!
For whatever reason, this big picture knowledge about how to bring everything together to make effective software is rarely taught explicitly. Rather we mostly see guides to the latest syntax or features of the framework du jour. Having been in this game for over a decade, I know full well this sort of surface knowledge has the shortest shelf-life.

If you've got more of a taste for the slower-changing, thoroughly unsexy principles behind writing stable and maintainable software, I'm devoting myself to exploring these ideas with my screencasts - topics like data integrity, building instrumentation for knowing what's happening in your code (esp. in production), non-brittle tests, leaning on unix tools and the OS to debug things, the timeless editor vim, etc.

The first 12 videos are available over at https://www.semicolonandsons.com/ -- it's a new side-project of mine that I hope will bring some value.

This statement is misguided. A lot of physical phenomena doesn't lend itself to intuitive understanding. Quantum Mechanics is a great example of this. You cannot expect subatomic particles to behave the same way that macroscopic objects do (and macroscopic behavior is what humans find intuitive because we experience it on a day to day basis).

Its the same misguided thinking that leads to the popular PopSci explanation of electron behavior being both wave and particle like. Why should we try to categorize the behavior a subatomic particle (an entity so distant from our experiential reality) as being analogous to one of two macroscopic entities?

I totally get the desire for intuitive understanding, and it should be encouraged, but sometimes you just have to put intuition aside and come to conclusions with pure mathematical reasoning.
Sounds interesting and I'll be following you with interest. That said in my experience deciding how to make a compound is not really the challenge, the real challenge is deciding what to make.
No, SAS just closed funding without Norway.
Agree, but would extend: company “value” as in market cap is also affected by other things, notably debt; given two identical companies but one with more debt, it will have lower market cap.

There is a bit on this here: https://mondaynote.com/tesla-and-apple-valuation-questions-c... apparently for Ford it’s pension liabilities are more than 2x it’s market cap; so if you were to exclude them, the company is worth 3x more. Tesla, as a young company (and born in a different era) doesn’t have such liabilities. Etc etc
Ha. So here it goes I guess, I’ve been working on this pretty consistently for too long now (backend mainly).

Major this. Also plug for CGP Grey's "politics in the animal kingdom" video series that explains exactly why we have that 'lesser of two evils' problem, and how exactly RCV and Alternative vote systems resolve that problem, in a very simple, understandable way.

Strange. I think that second article was computer generated. I’ve seen programs that allow you to basically re-write an article or essay by running it through a program that replaces certain words with synonyms, and re-writes other parts of the essay. This person also has ads on their website and seems to be generating money through copying articles.
Thanks. “A Google bot scrapes pricing info by adding items to carts” could have replaced that whole fairy tale that they wanted us to pay for.
> Furthermore, while China is more powerful than the UK, in 1997 the UK had a larger GDP

Which, while it could reasonably have been taken as an indication of the capacity to generate power over the long term if that advantage was preserved, has pretty much nothing to do with immediate power of the relevant type, whether globally or, more to the point, locally applicable to HK. Which, actually, creates more of an incentive for China to fully exploit it's then-current power advantage.

> mother and children live in Canada while the father works in HK.The family doesn't declare the foreign income in Canada.

Why would the father pay taxes in Canada when he lives and works in HK (or anywhere else) and (likely) is not a Canadian tax resident? It doesn't make any sense.

After all they pay local taxes in Canada while spending (GST, PST, property tax etc.)
Focusing on spending time around the edge of sleep on thinking about things -> sometimes seeing flashes of them -> eventually can do it on demand more? Now focusing on those -> trying to imagine more intricate details.

Afraid it's hard to explain, and if I'd been fully aphantasic to start (including when nearly asleep) would not have been able to make any progress.

Same type of issue as trying to explain how to move a specific muscle or unfocus your eyes

As far as I can read it does not work with .NET Core.

But a "simple" ASP.NET Core app (i.e not dependent on Windows specific features) is really is to get running on Linux, and it's not tricky to write a Dockerfile for that. Probably not hard to get running on a Windows container either, but I have not tried that.

If you are running Visual Studio I can recommend their Dockerfile-generator as a starting point, it have worked surpassingly well for me!
Indeed, but think about who is running those blackmail ops... the three letters, well, how is it that Schumer put it, "you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from sunday at getting back at you..."

I don't know why Aha! are being downvoted. I interviewed with them about a year ago and it seems like a wonderful company to work at based on that interview experience.
Yeah, I know that you can use LSP in vim. But LSP for most languages is a far cry from what you can get in "real" IDEs.

It's always "LSP could be just as good" or "support for that can be easily added" - but it's just not happening - nobody does the work to make that just as good.
From a native English speaking standpoint. App2Container seems pretty standard to be 'App To Container', which is exactly what it says it does
People obviously disagree since I was downvoted but I don't really see the black-and-white difference between the two.

In both cases there was an intentional design change to deliberately changed mislead a measurement, and the final product does not match the intended thing. Both adversarially directly cause the consumer's purchase to not be the intended item; no one gets a car that has emissions measured and no one gets a heater that has the efficiency measured.
I conduct interviews with candidates almost every other day.

Believe me, interviewing is a huge cost for the company and nobody wants to organize interview to "fish" for the candidates.

We have screening process to remove candidates that don't have chance passing next stage so that we can spend more time with candidates that pass screening.

It is really difficult to figure out if you want to work with somebody after 1.5-2h discussion.

For 2 hour interview I must fit following things:

* Spend 5 minutes getting everything to order, bringing water, solving connection problems etc.

* Spend couple minutes introducing myself, who we are and what we are doing

* Spend couple more minutes trying to calm the candidate, break the tension. People react very differently to stressful situation and we would really want to get the candidate little bit more calm to level the field (we don't want just the people that deal well with stress).

* Ask couple technical questions from various areas. I can understate how difficult is to gauge candidates knowledge and experience from 30m of technical questions

* Give a coding task. I can't tell how many time we had a candidate that was able to answer questions quite well but was unable to organize process to write simple piece of code. It is when the candidate is solving the task when we learn for example if the candidate can react to hints or how it feels to have a discussion on a technical problem. This typically takes 0,5h to 1h

* Have a discussion on the candidate experience, past projects, what was his/her involvement, etc.

* Let the candidate ask his/her own question about our project.

* Spend couple of minutes to close the discussion on a good tone regardless of how the candidate fared.

Our HR does not like us to extend the discussion over 2h supposedly because it "scares" candidates but you have to understand, it is very difficult to do all of this and get to know the candidate in such a short time. I can totally understand somebody wanting to spend couple more hours with a candidate that shows really good promise.

Hiring a bad employee is a huge cost and totally worth spending couple more hours trying to ensure this person does not have "dealbreaking" faults.

You would not believe what kind of things I met in my past. Candidates who passed technical questions really well just to start googling solution to our coding task? Candidates we give the same critical hint 5 times and each time he/she tells me that's not right and dismissed to go continue with his/her faulty line of reasoning?

The super short pitch is we're trying to build an IDE for operations teams. The most interesting companies in the world are doing lots of heavy lifting in the background and managing all kinds of crazy ops. We're trying to figure out what the "IDE" looks like to make that work easier to design and deploy. We're still pretty early (just finished raising our pre-seed from South Park Commons and Index) so can be really generous on equity.

Just because there's worse, does that mean bad is good?
It's just price data collection. In particular, MAP policies can be skirted by not publishing a final price but having a price below MAP in the cart which is a common tactic that online sellers utilize. By pretending to walk through the cart, all sorts of data about pricing, taxes, etc. can be learned. It's not entirely uncommon to see different prices at different times, for different user agents, for different locations, etc. Used to work for a company that build huge price collection systems and built many of them...

I'm a senior engineer & tech lead with 20 years of experience building and operating online services, including at Facebook, large ISPs and many small startups.

While DevOps / SRE is my core skillset, I'm also a "T-shaped" engineer who can help with tech stack decisions, systems design, operational best practices, mentoring and providing general engineering wisdom.

I excel at understanding short vs long-term trade-offs, tackling performance bottlenecks & technical debt, and quickly learning and assessing new pieces of tech. I also have keen awareness of product & business matters.

I'm currently a freelancer, but willing to consider employment or co-founding opportunities in a senior DevOps or tech lead role, preferably at an early stage startup.
But even the Home Office doesn't know the exact number.

They know how many current BN(O) holders there are. But they don't know how many are eligible exactly -- they have the entire list of people who have received one, but that's over 20 years ago, and a lot could have happened to them since.

Culture Biosciences | Software Engineer | South San Francisco, CA | ONSITE | Fulltime | https://www.culturebiosciences.com/

Write software to make cells grow in custom made robots! We're a 16 person startup, we build our own hardware in our own lab and we need a great addition to our software team of 3 to help keep the cells, robots, and customers happy.

This can involve writing software at all levels of the stack. No specific experience required other than writing good software and being curious.

I joined almost 2 years ago and I can not emphasize enough how much fun it has been. The people are kind and trustful, the environment is one of curiosity and exploration, and I always look forward to going to work.

We're looking for someone with 6+ years of experience shipping software, preferably some of that at company of our stage. Good interface and architecture design, knowing which corners to cut, and which to spend more time on are important.

If you're interested in chatting send me an email: satshabad@culturebiosciences.com
In my experience Modelica is a good fit for sustainability engineering, as it works well across engineering disciplines. Simulation of hybrid gas/electric engines was one of Modelica's first major applications, power plants was another.

As others have noted Modelica is both more abstract and more performant than a lot of other ways of describing multiphysics systems; it got its start in out-of-the-way places, which may explain it's relative obscurity, but there's an opportunity for it to become pervasive in engineering, both in the academy and industry.
For Github projects, we could have an organization that would conduct project audit and certification on owner's expense. As an owner of a few open-source projects, I'm a little tired of hearing such insinuations as in the post above (although there is certainly a grain of truth in it -- we live in the Age of Bullshit, after all), so I would gladly cash out $1000 for getting a "quality approved" stamp from a widely trusted entity.

I’m not a .net or java user these days but I love the “guess what’s in a repo and try your best” strategy. I’ve been working on “deploy-node-app” for JavaScript applications that does similar: try to scan for dependencies, services, etc and “guess” as much of the Kubernetes configuration as a possible. It’s a fun project! Glad I don’t have to make it support .NET now ;)
The 68000 (and 68010) hit a sweet spot. They were really good 16bit chips because they offered some of the benefits of 32bit computing. But by the late 80's clones created economies of scale and Intel's cross licensing meant there were cheaper chips from AMD and Cyrix. And then FPU's went on-chip and the Motorolla road map probably didn't foresee that until the wagon was well up a box canyon.
As of very recently they’re looking into putting new engines under a 757 and adding some carbon composite for lightness. They’re referring to it as the 757-Plus.

Ah, ok, that would explain things. :)
Real-World Programming Screencasts
CA has a blanket primary, which means that all candidates from all parties take part in the primary and then the top 2 compete in the general election, regardless of party affiliation.

Feinstein wiped the floor with everyone in the primary in 2018. She took 44% of the vote, and the next leading candidate (Kevin de Leon) took 12%. When they ran against each other, de Leon lost by a fairly large margin but turnout kind of sucked.

de Leon wasn't a good candidate by any means, and I voted for the guy. He always struck me as a bit of a smarmy huckster who didn't stand for anything but reelection. But I knew that Feinstein was probably running for her last term and only cared about serving the national party's interests, and not our state. I'll take the guy that wants my next vote over someone that probably won't live long enough to get it.
As I mentioned, there is a huge amount of value in having a centralized, consistent database of bugs that you can refer to. It's the same thing as naming a new species: ok, sure, it's cool that found it, but by naming it everyone can now call it that and use that name to find it rather than using some ad-hoc non-descriptive name for it. And this is really important for systems like macOS that see multiple bugs in the same component every update: it's important to be able to distinguish them. Getting a CVE number isn't really that difficult, anyways, you can basically get one for anything, like "denial of service" (you found a way to crash an app, congrats).

FWIW, Apple should not be impressed I found that, they should be impressed it took someone so long to show them that their sandboxing strategy on macOS is totally broken. It's nice that they wanted to credit me and all, but they fixed the issue in a way that didn't fully resolve the problems that I brought up, which I consider worse than not crediting me or not paying me a bounty.
No I wouldn’t, but legal precedents that get set in these cases will carry over to prosecutions of other crimes.
That's what most of us independent developers in the industry had hoped would happen, but unfortunately it's not happening. Facebook locks the Oculus app store down harder than Apple theirs. They spend a lot of development effort on Oculus-exclusive social integration features, like avatars, lipsyncing of avatars to user speech, and a bunch of other stuff that nobody ever asked for and nobody is using, yet they still keep pushing it. And they're spending a lot of investment dollars to buy up independent studios and lock them into platform exclusives.

Facebook definitely takes a platform approach with Oculus. The Oculus Quest is a great device at a great price. It has done the most to make VR a mainstream accessible thing. And yet because of Facebook's behavior and what we know about Facebook as a company in general, we really, really must not let it become the dominant system. Hopefully, other companies will improve their user experiences to match (because Oculus certainly doesn't have a hardware advantage, everyone is pretty much running the exact, same hardware profile with only minor differences).
What's interesting is that there's nothing preventing hardware companies from making open-ear audio headphones, right?

I'm starting to think beyond the "I already wear glasses anyway" use case, these may be targeted for industrial applications where (1) some form of eye protection is mandated, (2) spatial audio context is critical, and (3) having a personal device (phone, watch) is either frowned upon or not allowed.

While living in NYC, I observed that the Apple Watch's most aggressive adoption was among people whose jobs didn't allow access to phones on the regular—think restaurants, service industries, etc. The value wasn't that it was a watch, it was that it _wasn't_ a phone.

I wonder if a similar reality isn't also true of product categories like these …
We must live in different parts of the country, I don't know a single craft brewery that brews 40 different beers at once, not even the huge multimillion "stretching the definition of craft" brewery around here. It's typically 4-10 at once around here. I don't think even Treehouse has that many and they have a ton (and limit everyone to 2 pours each because of the huge amount of traffic they get)
