I laugh at that as an job application requirement and move on. Anyone thinking a look at a GitHub profile will prove skill, is sadly mistaken and not sometime if want to work with. Considering most code is property of employers, nothing to see.
I host my own content. Even then, 90% of my visitors come from search engines. This is not a problem for my personal blog, but it's a problem for my other website, which is my main source of income.

This is a much more serious problems in other fields, where you can only reach your crowd through YouTube or Instagram.

That being said, having a crowd wasn't even a thing back then. Platforms have given immensely talented people a free soapbox to show the world all sorts of things. Anyone can share something nowadays, not only people who know HTML and a few other things.
Keep in mind that your COVID WFH experience is not the normal WFH. Normally you would have the opportunity to gain all your commute time and ge to experience a real social life that is not bound to your office.

Living in one of the most congested areas in the world, with a public transit system that has been deliberately neglected by successive governments since the 1970's thanks to the car and concrete lobby, a 1 hour commute is very much an underestimate for most office workers here.

I notice especially the younger single colleges never had the time to build a real social life post university, because they spend all their time outside work commuting. So they have substituted this with an in office social life. WFH for them now means sitting alone in an apartment, missing their office social circle, and having more time but nothing to fill it with as all the bars and restaurants, the cafes and the theaters are closed, as is the gym, art school, language courses, those have moved online as well.

This is not normal. Normal WFH is gaining not just 2 hours that were lost in commute, but also gaining massive productivity due to not having the stress that comes with 2 hours of bumper to bumper stop and go traffic each day. Those 2 hours open up enormous social possibilities. Things you can do each evening that you normally only get to enjoy in the weekends.

I do hope the 'new normal' stays, and people will get to experience the 'real' WFH as well.
Bloom filters prove OP’s point though. The first few times I heard the term, I wondered how a Photoshop filter to blur things could possibly apply to the problem. Maybe if it was called an exclusion filter it would be less jargony, I don’t know; naming things is hard.
All of the important ideas in all of the fields that you mentioned have an absolute foundation in math. Just because we are able to work without using math everyday does not reduce the relevance of math to programming at all.

Programming is math. I’m not sure why this bothers people so much. When you cross a bridge and it’s able to keep standing, you don’t feel gratitude to math? When you write any program, you should feel the same gratitude.
Well, CS is more like an extension of a very tiny corner of maths. And practically speaking, most computer scientists and 99% of programmers are terrible at math, to the point that they don’t even genuinely understand basic undergraduate concepts from linear algebra.
This is true in relation to a search warrant afaik:

I’ve seen this happen with senior devs too, but who come from a background other than Python.

There’s a lot of value in deeply learning the internals of a language so you can write good code in the target language rather than developing some mashup of “features”.

Ironically the article begins with be premise of deeply learning python but never touches on the advanced features that were learned and applied to develop the library.

I made the mistake of thinking an active github account was a good proxy for "Is this person interested in tech enough to work here?". I was called out on it at a conference (fortunately for me at a bar and not when I was on stage), by someone who pointed out that many people just don't have time to work on side projects and push them to Github.

Maybe they work 8 hours a day on a bank or government project that is all private and then they spend the rest of the day acting as a care giver to a relative, studying, or volunteering in a women's refuge. All noble activities that I would consider positives for a candidate, but I'd never know if I just checked "Do you go home and cut code out of hours?".

I mistook my own privilege of free time as a universal truth and I'm glad I was called out on it early on and able to change my (interviewing/screening) ways. I wonder what else I need someone to call me out on...

> Is it toxic that Steve Jobs liked the partially completed design they left out?

No. But the way that the story is written, it seems that the designers where terrified of Jobs wrath if they told that he had chosen an unfinished prototype. Why would have them lied to him, otherwise?
Medication alone does not cure those things (who’s saying that?) but it does help you endure them and make you available to other kinds of treatment. You can’t do psychotherapy if you cannot talk or leave the house at all, for example.

Some conditions require life long management with or without medication.

Some people will eventually be able to stop taking the meds. Others won’t.
Funny so many people seem to like this aesthetic - I think it's ugly. The clear plastic case doesn't do it any favors. Whatever it gains from not having visible buttons it loses from the ugly floating grips on the side. It turns it from a sleek, continuous object with curved lines into a jagged, jarring device.
Like it or not, users develop a mental model. The fridge example in the book shows how hiding too much of the inner workings can make your system less intuitive to use.
I mean, you're double and triple (even quadruple and quintuple) counting on that a fair amount, and a fair number of those are pretty dubious.

But the point isn't to provide accurate information, it's to provide something that tries to makes a point and would be a huge pain to bother refuting or diminishing, as all propaganda is designed to be.
I understand that they don't want other camera vendors to compete with them. What I don't understand is why they would take that stance as a charity, and what I disagree with is the implied argument that it's better for the Raspberry Pi ecosystem if the hardware is closed.

The current administration has certainly done some damage but:

- the NIH is one of the biggest drivers of biomedical research in the world, both in terms of extramural funding and intramural research. The NSF, NASA, and the research arms of the DoD and DoE (etc) are also world-class.

- Hurricane Dorian nonsense aside, the weather and ocean forecasts from NOAA/NWS are well-regarded.

- the FAA and FDA have kept flying, food, and medicine quite safe.

- The National Parks System is fantastic and the USGS maps are quite good; maybe only the UK’s OS maps are better regarded.

Please ignore it. If you have concerns about your mental health, please don’t hesitate to contact a medical professional. Note that medications are not the only approach to treatment, although we have decades of evidence showing that they do show benefit in helping many people as part of their journey toward better mental health. However, plenty of people have great success with therapy-only if that’s your preference. The most important thing is to try to make progress, try different treatment modalities, and see what works for you.

Just finished Diaspora. It made me feel rather stupid, as the analogies it weaves throughout (as way to dumb it down I suppose) were sort of like reading the cliff notes. Okay 6 dimensions, ok 12 sure. And this one is 5 dimensions but they’re all sort of visible or something. But really it’s infinite dimensions and all that science proofing I skimmed was wrong.

> I find it hard to believe you've talked to any real anarchists, or at least listened to them

True scotsman fallacy aside, what the top minds on anarchy think is not as relevant as what most people/anarchists understand of it, if we are talking about a non-hierarchical self-administering system, because performance of the system will approximate to the median (mis)understanding of them.
I'm surprised Mark Shuttleworth allowed that. He has a very low tolerance to mistakes.
Excellent counterpoint.

> If any other country had carried out a tenth of the actions that the USA has done, throughout recent history, it would be a pariah nation.

Because not all people who have children have a harder situation.

What about people taking care of parents with Alzheimer's? Do they not deserve the leave? I assure you that a parent with Alzheimer's is WAY harder than a child. In addition, the child will eventually get easier; Alzheimer's just gets worse.

The problem is "too little leave for everybody" not "extra leave for parents".

The solution is to set the leave amounts at a fixed amount that accommodates almost everybody. If parents have to burn that to take care of children, so be it. They made that choice.
Follow interesting people. They star repos that pop up in your feed. I have found that to be a good way to find specific projects. A rust contributor is going to star other rust projects. They will go beyond the trending repos and that's how you find something interesting. I maintain a separate GitHub account just for curating a rss feed.
This story is about as dull and naive as a 14-year old girl writing in her journal saying if she isn’t married to the boy of her dreams by 19, then there is nothing else worth living for.

The 57-year old author claims that he knows that by 75 he will have lived a “complete life”. No need for his useless self to hang around at that point. Sounds like a real blast to hang around with.

Me at event with author when he’s 73: “oh, did you hear that Microsoft is gonna try to invent a... ah, never mind. Keep forgetting you’ll not be here to enjoy it. Uh, if you don’t mind, I’m going to head over to those people there who are discussing the future of our world, departing wisdom to remaining generations, and who, well, basically haven’t quit on themselves and those who love them”.

On the other hand, since this Atlantic piece is torrid clickbait, I can’t particularly defend his departure in 18 years. Can we get all the other trollers to agree with him? I think he’s essentially saying he will be out of blog grenades by then, so he might as well take off.

Seriously, what his insidious underlying point is, which he’s apparently to homely to admit, is that older people have little use. Sad.
I'm judging from the video another comment above posted. But it seems to me, that if the vessel is at or close to atmospheric pressure that from most measures it should be unchanged.

The gas below the 'floating' liquid is at an increased pressure due to the weight of the liquid, and the gas above my be at a somewhat reduced pressure. But since the floating liquid has reached a stable point the pressure in the liquid should be much the same as it would be in normal conditions relative to the local atmospheric pressure. I can't imagine how shaking would affect that signficantly.

Regarding the shaking, anything in the liquid should receive a significantly dampened shaking and would likely acclimate.

This is at best armchair theorization on my part of course.
The Wikipedia article mentions that a solider named Ralph found the shaft, no word on whether he did the climbing though.

This is true, concepts aren’t usually named by the person inventing them. But it’s mind boggling that someone could consider it unfair to give the giants that created mathematics and laid the groundwork for physics and modern technology their due.

I’m in total agreement! The Pro Mouse and Apple Mouse were probably my favorite Apple-branded mice (the nipple on the Mighty Mouse still makes me shudder), and the gestures in the Magic Mouse were a nice introduction to what could exist, but the Magic Trackpad and especially the Magic Trackpad 2 are just perfection.

Thinking back, whether it is from a laptop or a Magic Trackpad, my primary pointing device has been an Apple Trackpad since 2007, save the four or five months that I used the Magic Mouse that came with the iMac I bought in November 2009 before the Magic Trackpad came out. I’m not a gamer, which makes a big difference, and I have great affection for Logitech's MX series of mice, but regardless of what system or OS I’m on, I just prefer using an Apple trackpad.
So your idea is that the presence of Apple helps (props up) CCP, the absence would hurt CCP? Any details as to how?

My belief is it's the opposite and I've outlined why I think Apple’s withdrawal would strengthen the regime in my comment above.

It is default display server in RHEL8. If that is not believing enough in it, I don't want to even know what would be sufficient to prove otherwise.
> The downside of this model is that developers who want to ship their new software or feature updates without waiting for a new distribution release get stuck into dependency hell and have to operate outside the normal packaging system.

When I was writing apps for distros, I had the opposite problem. Every single release of GNOME and Ubuntu would break PyGTK in some way so that my software that used zero new features in the OS, would require at least some modifications and force me to maintain many versions. Finally, Gtk changed something that broke something in a fundamental way (something in Gtk TreeView, I forget what exactly) and I simple gave up maintaining software rather than suffer through figuring out how rewrite everything again.
I found JSON:API to be a great starting point, especially for small teams that want to get started right away. You can either adopt it or use it as a guideline for all the topics you need to consider.

It feels perfectly consistent to say that we ultimately need to end animal testing but it is okay to use animal products for your literal survival in the meantime. Perhaps they don’t have such a position. But it feels pretty wrong headed to me to mock PETA because a diabetic uses insulin rather than take heed to their very real and very important message about the abuse of animals in our society. It feels like you’re purposefully redirecting the conversation away from yourself because you do not want to discuss animal abuse.

As a contrarian: We should just teach everybody addition is Abelian. (And ignore all questions about the capitalisation). Think about the pros: no more conjugation (commut-es, -ing, -ative, -ed...) shorter (saves a lot of bits), respecting the elders, easier to translate, automatic referencing (unless they're Erdős or Bernouilli). And everything is easier to name, just find the closest word and define it!

Also, let's not talk about the LaTeX-fraction hell we enter when using τ. (π/3, π/4... are bad enough but don't appear all that often in core formulae).
In fact, let's use δ=π/180. Then Eulers formula becomes a nice e^(180δi)=-1! This also solves the degrees/radians problem, use the constant °=δ=π/180. sin(180°) is then 0.
>Most GitHub Projects Aren't Impressive

So make an impressive one.

My team lead would sometimes ask me to help evaluate potential candidates and sometimes we looked at GitHub profiles if one was supplied. No problem if not, but if so then it's a data point.

The claim above from the article is true. Mostly nothing is actually impressive and if you're not careful it's easy to have something count against you. It's actually a bit of a trap.

As a result of that I decided to make all 50 public repos I had private and instead just work on a single public repo of decent depth/quality.

What I wound up doing is create a small web app in a domain I would never be interested in trying to turn it into a commercial product, then I use it as not a single project, but a series of inter-related projects that build on each other. Mostly it's a playground for me to learn new things and explore ideas. So I first did an API. Then once I had an API I took the opportunity to learn a new front end tech and made a front end with it. Now I'm working my way through learning IaC with it. After that I'm gonna use it to learn serverless.

Each additional project with it makes it more valuable to me. More valuable in the sense that each project completed increases my motivation to do the next one because it becomes a more fully fleshed out piece of software and feels more "worth it".

I haven't switched employers since I started it about a year ago, but I think it'll definitely help with positioning. As it is it helps me with my career anyways as I have a semi-realistic environment in which to try things out to evaluate their pros and cons.
