> be an engineer yourself before attempting to manage some

I've seen this. 90% of the time, the company loses a good engineer and trades him for a mediocre manager. It's a lose-lose situation.

Nowadays, managers are focused on 1on1s. Totally useless.
Actually, it was warning about not cheating the phone company, and saving money by buying Geico instead.
if you're going to try to sell me folksy wisdom do me the favor of warning me that it's for an advertisement before-hand, please.

I felt cheated after reading that page with as positive an outlook as possible -- while disagreeing left and right mentally -- only to find out on the last line that it was a self-promotion for a company.

I use Chrome once a week or so when I suspect malfunctioning webware is failing Firefox or is having a fight with my fistful of antitracker plugins.

I believe I saw (2,8) cases where the error (was not, was) also present in Chrome.
Usually the country is in trouble and then the currency is in trouble because of that. Cryptocurrency advocates seem to be under the mistaken impression that treating the symptom will magically fix the cause.

Go + plain html + plain js + postgres (or mysql) + nginx. If I need something more fancy, then Vue.
No. Nowadays you should still disable JavaScript as well as video playback in your browser if you want to be safe.

There was a brief period some years ago where browsers looked "pretty safe", but we have quickly backtracked by stuffing JS and browsers full of new APIs that are creating new vulnerabilities.

Edit: Yes. Downvoting will surely reduce the amount of CVEs.

Most of these are only red flags if you're hiring robots and not people.

I generally have very little professional experience in the fields that I apply for and no education so, for me, getting hired has usually been a matter of showing that I have a work philosophy that aligns with the goals of my peers and an ability to quickly learn the actual work.

I think your view on this comes from a bit of privileged perspective where you're looking moreso to fulfill contractual obligations in a field that you've already proved yourself in and not one where you're looking for a culture-fit that fosters development.
Why does an app like this need to have a sign-up process with email, username and password? It’s enough for me to not try the app because of the mental overhead and risks involved, but it also seems like a bunch of additional development for no (or maybe negative) benefit.
Seeing:

is pretty abhorrent looking. First-class advertising support in a browser is a major turn-off. Google is probably only a few steps away from losing controlling stake in Chromium, and stuff like this certainly will lead others to flock away.
> Which is why you should treat the banks and credit cards legally but extremely selfishly

I'm doing this with Amex now, ever since one of their customer service reps gave me wrong information about a benefit, I relied on it (it was multiple transactions totalling $300), and Amex (after much investigation) closed the issue by citing their terms and conditions and not having my back, despite customer service saying that they'll always make good on the promise since chats are logged.

I used to be a huge fan of Amex and their customer service, but they treat customers like numbers all the same, like every other large financial organization.

I ultimately ended up getting a secured card, just so I could rent cars from more car rental places; that card, presumably still secured, is my only credit card. I don't understand credit cards, at all.
Depends on what you want to develop; if you need the Windows driver kit then yes, those subscriptions are expensive (but likely worth it).

If you want the equivalent of app development on Windows (meaning little to no access to kernel sources and such, just a native UI), you can use the free version of Visual Studio without the MSDN license [1]. The license allows commercial development even with the free community version.

You still need to pay +/- $20 to MS to publish apps to the MS Store, but because Windows isn't a walled garden and barely any Windows users are using the store anyway, you probably don't need to bother. If you do pay, it's not a subscription either; the costs are only made during registration. Just like with Google, this keeps down (but does not prevent) the creation of spam accounts.

For most app developers, the infrastructure you get in return isn't worth the $100 / year, because most apps don't get that many downloads at all. Hosting APK or IPA files can be done for one or two dollars per month for the first few hundred or even thousand users, and by extending the store ecosystem, you're also adding value to the platform itself.

For iOS you can argue that the manual testing of the application needs to be paid somehow, but the manual testing Apple performs don't benefit you as a developer in any way; they serve benefit the end user that downloads your apps, so those costs should be recouped from the user (as part of the iPhone sales price and the mandatory 15-30% cut Apple and Google will take).

If there was a way to build and publish applications without the subscriptions, the fee might be reasonable if Apple can defend the $99 / year. With the walled garden they've set up, there's no competitors, and therefore there will never be an alternative developer toolkit like those you can see for the Android ecosystem.

No. If advertising became impossible, vendors seeking to compete would be forced to make products good enough to be enthusiastically-shared, word-of-mouth, and everything in the world would be significantly better than it is.
No, the media (and law enforcement) does not usually refer to white American non-Muslim far-right extremists plotting acts of terrorism as “terrorists”.
This is why I’m more than happy when sites say “adblocker detected, please disable or leave”.

I will not render your ads. I’d be happy to put that in the first http request to your site. If that means no site for me, then quite honestly 90% of my browsing is a waste of time anyway.
I have opted into using Chrome, no one forced me to. I have asserted my right as a user to run software on my machine how I see fit when I browse the web. The ad model of the web allows me to freely browse the web while providing a source of income to those who work hard to provide the services and information I seek on the web.
We used a similar app for baby names- it’s a great idea for all sorts of consensus. I actually think there’s a large opportunity to apply this in all sorts of ways: baby names and movies are both great ideas, but anytime multiple people want to create intersecting sets. Another one we thought of was pictures: 5 people take 2-3 pictures of the same group photo, you have 10-15 pictures that Becky wants to post, with everyone wanting to pick the one where they “look best”, how do you decide which one to use?
Agree with you there. I find Firefox css devtools the best and while other browsers copied them they were the ones that implements them first. The big ones are the flex and grid layout tools and having a list of styles changes you made in the devtools.

Totally understandable. The sign up process is just to store your likes so that you don't need to swipe again on the same movies.

Its also so that you can lookup and add your friends.

I understand the frustration, though. I'm working on a version with webhooks where you can just join a lobby and start swiping.
This bothers me. I wonder if it is legal at all. Browser does not need to call home to work, so what gives?

Arguably strings these days don’t really have scalar elements, not at least in the way we think. One “character” might be several distinct code points, and character access might not be a linear time operation.
> It's precisely what cryptocurrencies were made for; economy based on math and pre-defined rules, not the whims of corrupt politicians. Being under a country's jurisdiction

If you could give me a world in which ads were always static images with a link behind them and nothing more. Where they never move, never pop, never animate, never play sounds or video, never run scripts etc etc...

Yeah, in that world, ads would be ok with me. Sure they're pointless because I won't click on them - but not really worse than having a blank spot in the page because of an ad blocker.
> A lot of the points here talk specifically about the harms associated with binge drinking

Except that "binge drinking" is the norm for a lot of people.

Think about how much drinking surrounds sports events--it's really easy to fall into the trap of "having a couple extra"--and a stadium cup is often close to 2 drinks in quantity.

Suddenly, you're in the "7 drinks" range without even trying very hard.
I'm pretty sure that they had app engine in 2010, I was building a company on it then. Or does it not count as cloud computing?
> Lets not pretend that ads help people with less money.

Who's pretending? Ads naturally and quite effectively price-discriminate, and so they do make internet content cheaper for people with less money.

You may have problems with excessive consumption, but many people in developing countries do not. They desperately need the free content (educational, informative, and otherwise) that the current internet model provides them.
I used to think that. As long as I can write code when I need to and I can inform designs and architectures, my company gets all the benefit of my programming skills as well as my team building skills.
They aren't, but Americans have such limited metaphors for understanding the world that they call anything they disagree with fascist. It's the same reason proud boys are described as such.

City slickers should live in the city. Moving to a rural area where people want freedom because your 500k a year job lets you live anywhere and then crying my god there is someone not double masking! is not a solution.
People clearly derive benefit from drinking; not the hard core alcoholics but the shy guy that likes to tell stories volubly and dance with less shame.
They are all undetected. VAC bypasses are public and have existed for years with no patch.
Mainly because it's look and feel. I'm not a "power user". Chrome just looks lightweight and feels fast. The only browser that is similar in these aspects is Safari.

Firefox looks bad. For example:

- the spacing between the home button and the search bar

- why there's a line at the top of the current tab? The way Chrome distinguishes the current tab looks "better""

- the "back", "forward" and "refresh" buttons look big

> For a lot of these websites it would necessitate a lot of manual work

Yes, but ... That's work they brought on themselves by not doing the right things in the easy way. Sure, once they're there, there is a lot of work to come back but that should be used as a reason to not use those frameworks in the first place.

Some accessibility is like adding alt-text. It adds work. But almost everything else is just not abusing the browser and is generally done simply by following the recommendations. And not trying to live on the bleeding edge.
What have you seen that worked best?
Trust DOES help an immense amount. New players will NOT have good trust, though, hence why I said ask a new CSGO player.
I’m not best qualified to answer, but some processors can have a watchdog timer that has to be reset by your software every so often otherwise within a set interval otherwise the chip resets. This works like a ‘deadmans handle’ that can be used to detect when your code has hung and will perform a hardware reset, so you’re system can return to a known good state. Might be something like that?
By the same argument you are stealing the website‘s bandwidth by visiting it without clicking on the ads.

These reductionist approaches don‘t really help with understanding ads (and communication in general).
This was annoying to me as well, but I simply just memorised all my cards. I had to type in so many times it kind of happened. Now I can type in my number faster than if I had to reach for mouse and select a card from a drop down.
zork and other "parser" games would say something "you are in a room with a table and a door to the north" and there would be a cursor.

Twine and "choice" games would say something like "you are in a room with a table and a door to the north. Do you want to look at the table or go to the door?"
You just kill the process, which causes the file descriptor to close. Cancelling the inhibitor lock by other means wouldn't do much, there's no way to get out of that situation without forcibly shutting the process down or disrupting its state.

> real boom after all is the cohort born around 1960.

There is a boom in birth rates which remains sustained high for about 10 years. However, the conditions of early childhood environment keep improving along with a reduction the hazard of early death. The 1945 cohort does end up being hit by the Vietnam war whereas people born in the 60s do not face any of that.

Population numbers reflect who survived.

That's absolutely true! Valve anti-cheat has entirely failed at that. Free open source cheats exist that VAC just cannot detect. Period. Wanna know the secret? The fact that it's a Java cheat.

Two personal counterexamples, whether right or wrong:

Management consulting

- you want to be perceived as hiring the best

- project work that is not known in advance, you need very versatile people

- looking for demonstrated desire to jump through the hoops and do the marginal work that makes you the "top"

Software Engineering

- some overlap with the reasons above

- adds to the moat: if they're happy working for FAANG et al, competitors are priced out of getting the best

- the economics of many technologies are now defined by whether they can return enough to pay people competitively vs big tech. E.g. there are lots of cool deep learning applications that are tougher to try when you need to pay 300k / year for someone really good to run with them

- I'm interested in the sibling post referencing moneyball, this would be very cool to see applied to software engineers
Partially true. It takes some time to learn how to spot genuine reviews.

However, even in the "encouraged" reviews you can still discover what problems people solve with certain class of tools and how much money they're ready to pay for them.
