He's being "playful" trying to get people to figure out what he's getting at instead of outlining everything for us for what he understands something.
I sometimes wonder if Go is a long running by joke by Google.

Like someone internal at Google said people will use and adopt en masse anything they make, regardless of how good it is.

Someone else said no way, a bet was made, and Golang was released. Ignoring 20-30 years of programming languge theory advancements. Yet everyone laps it up.

And here we are today. I'm sure someone at Google is laughing.

I find Go completely tedious and inelegant to work with, its too verbose and i think verbosity hides intention and expressiveness.
ZeroZeroZero by Roberto Saviano may have information you'd want.

Sure, though it takes a bit of time for the actors to become conscious they'll get the same value at a lower price.
I think Jobs was right about Flash, but you are also right about Flash; the browser game ecosystem was nice.

Several key aspects of Flash, 90s web, Hypercard and other technologies that sustained creative enthusiast ecosystems seem to have been low barrier to entry, easy sharing and discovery, and a lack of obvious alternatives for a large pool of creators and users. Those things are hard to (re)create.

On the other hand, demoscene shows no signs of dying as far as I can tell.

The app economy is huge and locks in creators and users, but it has high barriers to entry as well as poor discovery and very limited sharing locked down by the platform owner.

There seem to be many easy-to-use game engines, as well as sites for web games, but that's part of the problem - there isn't the concentration of interest in one class of games or an easy way to share them across sites.
It's been interesting so far to see almost every prediction about the future meet unforeseen obstacles.

"We'll have flying cars!" (Need runways, air traffic control, can't let drivers steer their flying car themselves, too dangerous, etc.)

"Work will be outsourced and we will lose our jobs!" (Your comment)

"Artificial intelligence will replace humans and revolutionize everything!" (AI is really hard and nowhere as promising as once believed)

"With gains in productivity, we'll all work 10 hours of week and spend the rest of time writing poetry and traveling!" (We'll just increase total economic activity by making you work the same number of hours)

"The Internet will put an end to ignorance by giving everyone free access to the total sum of knowledge in existence" (Human biases are really entrenched and can't be changed by any amount of information)

I wonder how many other futuristic predictions being made right now will age like milk.
More remote work, and hire outside of SV then. There's a pretty big benefit to keeping the dev teams in time zones with a good amount of overlap. Probably the second biggest factor in our difficulty getting good results from our dev teams in Hyderabad is the 12 hour offset. The single biggest is that if you go to India looking to save money, you're going to be in for some pain. Good talent has a cost no matter where in the world it is.

Though Uber requires great engineering backbone, the future doesn't seem to be bright on the engineering front.

This seems like the best decision Dara could take at the time being and if Uber is able to recover from this mess all well and good.

A good point taken below is the shift from product-oriented to operations-oriented company. I guess this transition is long-overdue and expected to make sustainable profits.
The point of the article was to get you outraged, not informed. Such is polygon.
Ah, so it does. I tested this on https://micropython.org/unicorn/ and didn't notice that it's running quite an old version.

If your company is migrating to AWS, go with AWS certification. You need to go horzintal in your learning, i.e broad and wide in term of knowledge and certifications. After getting some experience or extensive labbing, you can go vertical, i.e deeper and more specific knowledge.

Find whatever projects your company is planning, read more about those projects. Then understand where your passion is and what value you can add. Start learning, then contact the people owning those projects. Say that you want to contribute and that your main job will not be affected, as you will be doing it on the side. Your transition will not happen overnight, and you need a lot of work to get there, but if you are persistent you will get there.

There are courses on AWS certification for 9$ on udemy. You can also get a free account from AWS and start labbing.
Yeah, that's why the idea that H1Bs need to be restricted will help with US employment is remarkably stupid.

There are a few companies that abuse (abused?) the H1B program but that was always a small but visible percentage, but more importantly, actions taken under the Obama administration had drastically reduced the abuse.

The much greater percentage are employees who studied in the US, or worked with companies in India and then had them transfer to the US. Eliminating the H1B visa simply means that they will now do the same work from India or Canada instead, further reducing the number of jobs in the US.
Likely the OP means they will not submissively do exclusively what they are told; in a no questions asked, military-style command and control sort of way. More specifically, will answer to ridiculous demands of “we need this by tomorrow.”

>Godot, Unity and Construct are all examples of tools that are both easier to learn and less costly in 2020 than Flash authoring tools were in 2006.

I don't think this is true at all. Making something in Flash and publishing it even back then was easier to me than to use Unity or Godot today. The latter two tools are much more powerful, but way more complex.

Also, you linked a game maker's toolkit gamejam. Of course they're going to be playable in the browser. I would consider that to he easier to use (or at least on par) than Flash.
Hiring Based on Side Projects
Maybe not, but there a card that was used to pay the fees, IP address logs for the uploads, whatever forged documents used for identity verification, the fake DUNS number if it was a company, bank account details if there were paid apps, etc. There’s also the hardware identifiers of any Apple hardware associated with that account, which would have been necessary for testing. There’s lots of things to subpoena.
A family member works in Inda from 3+ years as management / engineering in an Indian branch of an European company. The upper management thinks a worker is a worker, except in India they are cheaper. Pro-tip: it’s not. You get what you’re paying for. The local standard of professionalism is way from away of the Western one (baseline: Germany). An example: recruiting. Indians, because they live in a very competitive society, will have no shame ok cheating on certification and lie on résumé.

Normal Western approach: take everything at face value. Local background-aware people approach: understand everything as two-three level below what they are pretending. Not that they are not skilled workers, but you have to count for the lying inflation (e.g. 30% of Pakistanis fly pilots got their license thanks to someone else).
And responding like that is never a valid answer.

What a pretty recall. I haven't known some of theme.
Not only does it permeate, but this particular issue touches on a much larger, and more timely discussion: the extent to which companies should be loyal to a nation, and its citizens.

In one view, the one I had for a long time, companies are free agents. They can set up where they want, come and go as they please, hire and fire at will. They add value by creating jobs and profit and society should be thankful for that.

A different view, one I hear a lot in the more intellectual conservative circles (Brexit and some Trump supporters), is that companies have a duty to their people, and society at large. They should train people (through apprenticeship, rather than strip-mining universities / the local market), try to promote stability, avoid huge disruptive layoffs, etc.

I used to think the first but have come around to the second a bit.
You can call yourself a nation, but if the only reason you exist is the fact that the price of the fuel needed to ferry a police officer to your location and arrest you is more than what your country is worth, you're not a nation.

The S in Ghislaine (in French) is silent (ghee-laine), even though people these days use a pronunciation that is closer to the spelling (jiss-laine).
It was called for. The commenters were pretty toxic IMO.
Selfishly, no, you should offer to pay what you think is fair for the exchange of service you receive. If you get the same quality work from a person who lives in NYC as a person who lives in Ohio, the pay should be equal.

But, as a business person, you should pay the lowest amount you possibly can while maintaining the level of quality you require. People who live in LCOL areas are more likely to accept a lower bid to do the same amount of work, which opens the pool of labor up enormously for a lower price point.

What you absolutely shouldn't do imo, is set up a job req for a price point, then negotiate a candidate down because of where they live.

If you can only pay 80k / year, then offer 80k. If you get a candidate from somewhere that 80k is above average, isn't that just a win/win?
If a waiter said something like this, they would likely have been fired. What was said was only a bit rude, not even remotely abusive, and hardly justifies the attitude expressed towards the community as a whole (the so-called "script kiddy peanut gallery").

I think that is because you’re coming from a weak typed language to a strong typed one. I’d from the outset you have to have your types match you wouldn’t end up with so many types.
From a technical standpoint, there seems to be absolutely no reason to put cruft like this in systemd. If the network isn't configured (or configured correctly), there's no point in making sure DNS "always works". It has more potential to leak information at the wrong moment than to fix anything the user/administrator did wrong.
It's pretty common in my experience for landlord in areas with many students to require renewing for a full year, because the rental demand is so spiky. (In Urbana IL, a college town, everything ended 8/1 give or take with absolutely no hope of a part year renewal, here in Cambridge 9/1 is quite common even though there are a good number of working professionals here too. )
> Regex is a good example of where JIT can be a good idea for performance, but is it really 'single use'?

Ideally not, but take a look at real life code bases... Just like with SQL prepared statements.

This kind of waste happens often due to reduced visibility. Abstraction layers are good at hiding details like construction cost. Repeated construction happens accidentally pretty easily.
Node as a tool definitely did catch on: automated testing, package management, REPL integration, bundling etc.

Node as a server/backend language: I would say the say the ecosystem and usage are at least as large as Go/Ruby. This is hard to gauge. But I assume/expect a factor of 2 or more. If you look for web specific libraries it is unlikely you'd find something for either Go/Ruby but not for Node. Python is harder to compare because it is used much more broadly.

For me the biggest use-cases for Node are: server-side/static rendering (get all the power/expression of frontend libraries on your http/build server), web-socket ease of use and the fact that there are tons of programmers who are at least familiar with the language.

And even though it is steadily declining, the most popular web-backend language is still PHP by a long shot. And this won't change until the other languages get managed hosting that is as cheap and simple and similarly ubiquitous.

I'd be wary about the Consumers and Users "not caring". Depending on the size of the company, there's definitely a lot of negative sentiment to seeing "jobs" sent overseas, regardless of where the positions actually are

When things do go wrong, there's a bit of an attitude of "of course it broke, they sent all the jobs overseas!"
I'm just not sure the ideas you're reading into Marx are ideas he would have recognized. His visions of post-capitalist life consistently included people performing productive labor - "from each according to his ability" and all that.

I entered around the time LAMP took over and the old-timers would always trash on server-side javascript.
The story doesn't mention it, but I wonder if this has been accelerated by the increasing hostility the administration has towards H-1B visas. To the extent that companies can no longer access the labor pool of the other ~96% of the world's population, it makes sense that they would set up production where they have access to that labor.
Which means she has a lot of dirt on people. Which means this will not end well for her.
The government goal isn’t to pursue good investments at a market rate. They are trying to prop up companies that investors don’t want to touch because of their current risk of failure. Spending some money now to keep a company in business can pay off in the long run, for example saving money on unemployment.

> I was shocked at how slow business got in the EU in summer, there's for sure a dip in the US with people going on vacation but nothing like Europe in July/August

Reminds me of back when I worked for a company that exported machines to the US and my boss told an American customer that we couldn't get a shipment sent in June which meant it couldn't be sent before somewhere in August since key personell was on holiday in July.

They then asked if he couldn't just tell us we had to work anyway, which -luckily for us- wasn't an option.
Unintended side effect of this is to prevent competitive entry. No other TNC will be able to achieve enough density from day 1 to run at the wage floor without huge amounts of VC.

That alone should make people suspicious of this legislation. In the long run, this is really, really good for Uber/Lyft.
>the person who had just written a book on server side js for O'Reilly - he got his advance but they didn't publish it because by the time he had finished it they considered it a "dead technology".

Makes sense. This server-side Javascript thing will never take off. The Internet in general is really just a passing fad!
Things have changed a lot though. Covid is pushing us to a remote-heavy world and that's changing how people understand the value of labor. I can imagine, for example, good skill in peripheral areas will get paid more, poor skill in less peripheral areas will be seen as overpriced.
However, it isn't documented [0].

And the sys.settrace tests are allowed to fail: [1]

PY_SYS_SETTRACE is a compile time option. It won't necessarily be a part of the build. I don't think it is by default on any of the ports at the moment, though I could be wrong.

Based on that, I'd call it an "unstable" part of the implementation at the moment.

> /etc/resolve.conf

It’s /etc/resolv.conf, and systemd overwrites it, Network Manager overwrites it (like every 10 minutes), dhcp overwrites it, etc. What do they overwrite it to? Most just get it from the router even if the router has no assigned servers. These days manually managing /etc/resolv.conf by hand requires hooking into every service that overwrites it on most systemd distributions. So really the people this change would affect are those with misconfigured routers.

My issue is why they didn’t go with a more private DNS such as Open DNS or even Cloudfare DNS. Google’s privacy policy is worse than either of the two. It seems the questioner asked in bad faith but I would’ve hoped Poettering would respond to the validity and dismiss the malintent instead of dismissing the whole issue.

I would expect that an experienced leader would have learned the lesson that the satisfaction of writing a nasty comment is short but the consequences are much longer, not sure if he just can't control himself or maybe he enjoys the spectacle and making himself a "victim".

The guy is paid for his work so I would have expect he would act more professional, the excuse that he works for free in his spare time does not apply.

That's the correct French pronunciation, but it's not how she pronounces it. She uses a silent S.
It's not unreasonable to believe in conspiracy theories based around 3-letter agencies. The kind of conspiracy theories that one shouldn't give time of day to are the ones that involve an unprecedented level of cooperation between multiple groups of people not known to have the discipline to keep things secret.

If your conspiracy theory involves "most scientists" or "a large number of non-aligned nation states" then it's probably crazy talk. If however it just involves security agencies and small groups of powerful people then it's might be worth considering.
Just because it's been a thing for decades doesn't mean it instantly fixes demand in this case.

And the fact that a quick google search is showing new travel nurse jobs posted a week ago in new york, despite their curve dropping a couple months ago, is telling. It seems like they were unable to meet demand with that program.
On the other hand, it may be the case that steps such as those this Google VP was taking are what is reducing the likelihood of a bad outcome.
Uber is done. The only way they survive is if they come up with autonomous driving and the only way to do that is dumping money into hiring the best engineers. Waymo will have taxi service in a couple years and that will be the nail in the coffin for Uber.
I think it is a valid question when the defaults are google and there is a reasonable suggestion to not use google as the defaults in lieu of community or open-source options. When that question isn't answered (evaded) it's perfectly reasonable ask why.

Yes. But remember that this includes health insurance, basic retirement, unemployment benefits and so on.
The likelihood of this scenario is mind-bogglingly small. You need to have a valid IP configuration for the network you are on, including a default gateway that will route you to the internet, yet somehow do not have any DNS servers configured at all?

Why even bother covering this case? It seems most likely to come up when this situation is created intentionally, in which case you don't want to go and ruin it by trying to be clever.
i cant fully agree.

you obviously should be allowed to make a mistake and be forgiven for it. that does not mean that i personally would ever forgive any `company` that markets itself as pro-privacy after its been caught gathering data on its users.

i could forgive the people working at the company and would definitely expect future employers not to hold that against them, however.

but if a `company` does something while claiming to stand morally opposed to exactly that.... proves that it doesn't actually care about the topic. it just wants the publicity for marketability, discrediting them entirely for all future communication.

in this particular case, i wouldn't go that far however. they weren't gathering any data on their users if i understood it correctly. it was just a badly implemented feature, which will get changed
