Fair points. I don’t know if there are differences in interview responses that would get you placed more frequently as a W2 or 1099. Usually that distinction is already set by the time the company posts the job. So I would confirm early in the interview that the position is full-time and not contract.

It may help to explain to the interviewer why you want a full-time position, from their perspective. That is, emphasize that you want to build something lasting and meaningful. You work best within a team where you all support each other work together. You want to minimize time wasted on spin-up cycles. Practice a 60-second explanation along those lines, so that when they ask “Why are you looking for a full-time position,” your answer will be smooth and thoughtful.

My other bit of advice is about self-confidence. I have observed that self-confidence is completely unrelated to competence. That is, there are many confident folks with who are terrible at their jobs and lots of talented people with little self-confidence. So don’t get stuck thinking that you could feel confident if you just had xyz experience or skills. You can feel that confidence right now. So while you are youtubeing, consider studying how to improve your self-confidence.

I say all this not really knowing anything about you. I may be totally wrong. I don’t many an offense. I only want to help. Best of luck.

Your assumption is only true if trying never has a negative downside.
We also spent a fairly significant chink of time on ALOHA, alongside RIPv2.

I think they're commonly covered at universities as they're relatively simple protocols, but still demonstrate the concepts that they're taught for quite well.

The alternatives would be for the lecturer to invent their own protocol for demonstration/lecturing on, or to use more modern and comprehensive protocols.

Hey Mike!

Kishore coined the term as a way to clear up people’s misunderstanding of what the CCP is. His point is that people misread the CCP’s goal as advancing communism world wide, whereas in actuality its goal is to advance the interests of the Chinese nation. This misread results in nonsensical China policy, which is why he promotes the term, to help people deal with China as it is and not what people think China is.

As for control of private property: interventions are possible, for sure. But I am not sure whether the existence of interventions is a meaningful point in this discussion. Here in the Netherlands there are a ton of interventions too. I can’t even park a bike on my own parking lot without getting into trouble! Yet nobody will argue that private property in the Netherlands is weak. The fact is that for the most part, property in China really is private. That large companies have to cede some control is an exception to the rule, because most companies are not large.
> It’s this idea that if you can’t consume the raw, hardcore documentation then you’re not worth it of using that technology.

I tend to avoid w3schools but this isn't at all the reason why. I don't believe that what w3schools provides is a made-easy resource for a hard concept. Actually I would say that's exactly what MDN is.

For the most part, I find that w3schools usually only provides a basic enumeration of the possible property values for an attribute or something like that with absolutely no additional insight whatsoever. I don't really believe that is helpful for beginners even in a pragmatic sense. Yet, somehow they continually peg the top of any HTML-related Google search.

MDN on the other hand almost surely details the most important caveats and practical aspects about whatever it is you're looking up. That I think is some of the most important information for beginners. It does not provide the same kind of "raw hardcore" documentation you'd get from reading the spec for example.
Interesting that she never mentions the effects of sunlight on Vitamin D levels. I know she has talked about it in other threads on HN, but not in this article.
It depends on how much information you give to the compiler. A modern GCC can do magic like AVX vectorization and OpenMP parallelization if you give your function the right restrict and pragma annotations.
Read: exploration is rewarding.
Yep. My sister had the tracker because her insurance required it, and it was a complete nightmare. They threatened to cancel her insurance multiple times due to "dangerous speeding", after calling them they would say the tracker registered her driving 70mph in a 20mph zone, so we would request they send the data proving so.....and every single time, the tracker would register her driving on a small 20mph road going underneath a motorway where she was actually driving doing a legal 70mph. I mean, just looking at the GPS trace it was obvious that she was on the motorway for the last 50 miles, and now for that one read she was on a smaller road crossing the motorway? She would have had to teleport to do that.

As for the G-force tracker - it's also shit, she was getting points docked constantly for "smoothness" of driving, because every time you went through a speed bump the tracker would register "abrupt braking event" and recommend "smoother braking for better scores". It was such a shit system that she willingly paid 2x the premium on her next insurance to not have a tracker.
I mean 950 is not a bad sample size (gives a 3% margin of error for populations of millions) the trouble is they don't say where they found these 950 people. So yeah, if it was an email survey or a people-who-answer-telephone-calls-from-strangers-during-the-workday, they may have selected for information workers.

President and founder of the Mozilla Foundation 2003 onwards, and also previously CEO of the Mozilla Corporation 2005-2008. Also she wrote the Mozilla Public License before that. I suspect she knows a little bit more than Word and Excel.

Seriously - go criticize her for her salary, or failure to execute, or for-profit vision, or something. There's lots of criticisms that can be actually substantiated. The hypothesis that she doesn't understand what Mozilla is requires significant evidence. It's entirely possible a Mozillian could show up and say that actually she's been a clueless and politically savvy leader, but outsiders speculating that she can't possibly be qualified need to provide more than speculation.

What kind of webpack config are you using? Something similar to Laravel Mix?
I guess I'm misunderstanding then. Word's core feature is wysiwyg. Word as a document format is necessarily unstructured - "hey I'm gonna increase the font size of this text over here by like 12 or 14 pts or whatever and switch it to center identation and write 'Chapter 3'" -- that's the 'killer feature' of Word that defines it. Structural stuff like the idea of chapters or version keeping are all secondary to the defining wysiwyg feature.

If the goal is structure+change tracking, it seems like switching from an unstructured document format to a format/combination of formats that provides structure+change tracking is an easy slam dunk. Structure and interoperability with version control systems are both first class features of latex. Structure and version control are secondary features of Word. ...Why?
It’s just a very thorough doc that takes you from zero to hero. The process is extremely simple. I used to do this back when the RTL SDR stuff just started and the ridiculously bad antennas that i built that still worked were pretty remarkable.
I've seen that happen.
And I don't see how it's a problem, unless you make a claim on your car insurance, the car insurance provider should assume you drive like a saint.

After all, you would never agree to have trackers in your house just so the insurance company can judge if you're a safe home owner and lower your home insurance premium - why agree to it in cars?
Thanks for clearing that up! I had no idea there were two versions of this concept.
It does, AB5 was deliberately written to target the gig economy.
I would absolutely not donate a single cent to Mozilla, so that their CEO can keep the 2.5 million/yr salary. Because that's what the donation would be really.

First the CEO, and other executives, get 100% of their salary (millions $ per year). And if there isn't enough money to pay the developers then the community should pay them? No way. If there isn't enough money to run the company then there isn't enough money to pay such high salaries.
That’s super tempting, those pics are gorgeous.

> If you're in a position to hold $60k bitcoin on Coinbase, do you really have a need for a 1 year bridge loan of $20k? At a rate only slightly better than a credit card?

If the $60k of bitcoin on Coinbase was bought with a loan from Nexo because you have $100k of bitcoin on Nexo, then yes lol.

Wrap that bitcoin in RenVM to use it on the Ethereum blockchain, maybe some renBTC liquidity pool is earning you more, or sell it on Mooniswap for something else that is earning more. YAM/yCRV staking anyone?

It's always seemed strange to me that the average work week, decreasing steadily for quite some period of time, seems to have stagnated around 40 hour work-weeks for decades, despite the massive increases in productivity leveraged by technological advances.

Personally I decided long ago that I simply don't care enough about money to try & advance upwards into high paying positions that would eat upwards of 60 hours a week, and possibly much more w/ off-time emails, phone calls, texts, etc. Instead I have a 40-hour work week, occasional emergencies where I of course do a little extra. I'm paid well for it, and have turned down every overture of advancement because I neither want the extra stress nor do I want to leave behind meaningful work in place of important-but-not-enjoyable work I'd have to do if I moved up a level. Instead I get to perform mission-critical work solving interesting problems, and get home early enough to have a nice family dinner, talk to my kids about their day, get beat by those same kids in Fortnite, and pursue multiple hobbies. Not only do I get ample vacation time, I don't work in a place that frowns upon actually using it.

I don't see why everyone couldn't have jobs that allow for this sort of lifestyle.

I've experimented with jokes. That isn't a cheap shot or pun, and it isn't the only thing I've got to say. But even if a cold truth said starkly gets a laugh, I don't really call it a joke, personally.

Offtopic but regarding the supression of the child from the parent: few people realize how severely the large majority of parents damage their children and supress their innate creativity and drive.

This is also very hard to realize as an adult because it gets unconsiously supressed.

The following books opened my eyes at the fact how dangerous it is for the grown up adult to then keep thinking "yeah, but my parents did the best you could you know?" even though they completely destroyed his innate creativity and freedom.

Alice Miller: The Drama of the Gifted Child

Alice Miller: The Body Never Lies

TLDR version of these books is that a large majority of parents tried to mold them as children and fit them into boxes or supressed their needs and wants as children and never truly listened to them.
This then causes uncousious guilt/anxiety/etc... feeling in the person as adult and prevents him from "taking oportunities" etc..

And at the core of the issue is the forced-upon-us belief that we always have to respect our parents, even though we secretely hate them. Saying "yeah but they did something good for me you know" is actually a huge problem that will only keep us from seeing the fact that many in fact do not like/love their parents very much because the parents did not truly listen to them etc...

As long as we try to weight the good vs the bad moments we will relapse into the false indoctrinated compassion/guilt towards our parents, into denial of the cruelties we experienced as a child, all because people say that we should try to "balance the good vs the bad". But this does not work in practice. This balancing process seems to be a reflection of how we tried to cope as children to survive. The adult must reject this balancing process because it only causes confusion without resolving anything.
Many people when they break contact from parents feel guilty and think even more about their own parents: the "experts" and her parents have reinforced the indoctrinated belief in this person that "this individual has no right to his own life, feelings and needs."
It was this desire of the child to believe that the parents were good that led to these supressions because the child blamed himself. This is why when a therapists says "try to see the good" it will only cause great harm. regression and confusion: since it was this need of the child to "try and see the good" in his parents when there was none that caused these issues in the first place.

So anyone who even slightly suspects that their parents supressed him as a child and denied him freedom of expression etc... will find many answers in those books above.
This thesis is crap and is blind to much bigger conspiracy theories that have been going on for thousands of years and that still have much stronger holds on societies than anti mask conspiracy theories. Modern social media did not cause them to grow to what they were since it did not exist when they were created and grew.

Christianity: Jesus died and came back to life. He died for your sins. You are going to hell if you don’t repent your sins. Please give the church 10%.

Buddhism: You are going to endlessly suffer. Please contribute to the temple to support the monks. Please pay monks to bless funerals.

Hinduism: You are born into a caste and stuck in it. You are shit and untouchable. If you touch me or try to marry my daughter, I will kill you.

The reality is that you have systems and people that prey on human weaknesses for time immemorial. It is much more interesting to examine how those technologies/systems operate.
If you want to see the assembly code a compiler produces from high level languages, Compiler Explorer is awesome for that (https://gcc.godbolt.org/)

You type your C/C++ code in the left pane, and it generates assembly in the right pane as you type. There is color coding to show you which C/C++ code correlates to the assembly code. If you hover over an assembly instruction such as mov, a tooltip appears telling you what it does.

It makes exploring what the compiler is doing easy and a lot of fun

Vitamin D deficiency is more or less inversely proportional to the amount of time one spends active and outside, isn't it?

I'm sure this has been answered somewhere on the internet, but wouldn't it be reasonable to posit that a sedentary lifestyle is likely the root cause of many of these health issues correlated with vitamin D deficiency?
As a former ic employee, this intrigues me more than Uber and Lyft.

But tbh theyre pretty different companies, esp. bc in some niches, IC is almost classified as an essential service, so I think IC has a little bit more leverage.
The problem is you simply cannot identify most insect species from photographs of them flying. Depending on which taxon you're working on, you have to do things like count the number of tarsi (foot segments) on each leg, look at the vein pattern on their wings, count the hairs on their thorax, or other minutiae. Also remember that most insects are only a few millimeters in size.

Some taxa can readily be identified in the field (butterflies, most grasshoppers, some beetles and true bugs). Others (dipterans and hymenopterans and pretty much anything smaller than 5mm) need to be done in the lab, with a good stereoscope and big identification books. It helps to have a steady hand and lots of experience...

(In fact, several taxa are so difficult to identify down to the species level that there might only be one or two experts in the whole country that can reliably do so.)

It depends on whether Proposition 22 passes in November. Prop 22 would create exemptions from AB5 for "rideshare" and delivery service drivers.

It contains a lot of the things that Uber and Lyft should have been doing from the beginning, like minimum earnings, healthcare subsidies, workers comp insurance, etc., that the would be required to do/provide under AB5.

UBER could theoretically function without the technology (a taxi service) but it could not function without the drivers, yet. If the fleet was driverless, then of course, they wouldn't have these problems in the first place.
One thing I'm very unhappy about with Intercom is this:

I want to do a bunch of analysis on our Intercom support history to improve some workflows, extract stuff for FAQs, etc.

Well even if I want to build that myself their API does not make it easy to export the data and actually use it. I assume this is because Intercom wants to build those products and then charge for it, even if their general solution is not a good fit.
You might really enjoy going and reading about CORBA and SOAP -- two protocols that have tight contracts. I'm sure you can still find java/javascript libs that will support both. And if you really really want, you can put them into production -- CORBA like it's 1999 while singing to the spice girls.

And what you'll find is that the tighter the contract, the more miserable the change you have to make when it changes. It's one thing if it's in one code base, it's another if it affects 10,000 systems.
I can still adapt to that redefinition of freedom:
