Yeah it's much better to have "experts" create our misleading stats.
With no advertising a decent game like Ocean Commotion is worth about $20/year, not counting the $99 developer fee. If you include the developer fee then it is worth about -$79.

This issue was fixed in Illumos a few months ago, although the fix has not made its way to O3X yet:

https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/commit/4bb7380495217...

The workaround is to find a file that was written that is outside of a snapshot and truncate it. `zfs diff` can be used to do that. That allows you to delete an old snapshot.
I would not be half as capable of troubleshooting in my work as I am if I couldn't parse random byte strings on the command line. That alone is why I use Unix for embedded development. Powerful things are often dangerous. For instance, consider nuclear power, motor vehicles, rocket engines, medicine, plastics, et. al..

So how do you provide the same level of capability as C and UNIX but without mixing data and commands? Is there some alternative paradigm that is just as powerful but safe?
It isn't as hard in all areas - while I was in DC, I was getting ~3 emails a day from recruiters. I was able to score in person interviews in hours, even unsolicited at meetups.

Granted, in smaller places, getting a job in software engineering can be challenging, but it isn't too bad in many metropolitan locales, assuming you do the standard things software engineers should do to improve.
So now I can get more spam emails from recruiters?
> (The fact that the majority of people leave their phones in a "promiscuous" mode ... )

Not everyone really understands what's going on with their phones or real intent of others (i.e the stores who provide wifi) so I think it unfair to lay blame on consumers for being 'uneducated'. There is a lot more overlap between 'things that watch you' and 'things you can connect to' than people realise. I'm reminded of the London bin tracking of last summer [1].

For private use, yes. I've been using ZoL for over a year on my home server with a simple ZFS raid pool and a number of volumes. Relatively stable. Snapshots every 15 minutes or so. Other than a few briefly scary kernel upgrades - nothing actually broke, just had to rebuild modules. Anytime your system comes up without pools mounted, it's scary. If only the ZFS license were compatible. Anyway, those weren't real breakages, so no problems.
Would be much better if you could add multiple locations, but +1 for the concept ;-)
> I don't see how it can be anything other than better.

Because in the real world, people won't exercise exactly the same level of situational awareness, such that the autopilot only adds a safety mechanism. In the real world, it will replace a certain amount of driver attention. And the question is, is it always superior to human attention?

It's probably net superior, but I bet it will cause a couple of high profile accidents that a careful human could have avoided, and then people (or the government) will be scared of it.

Besides doing a bunch of things to finally make views useful, ALTER SYSTEM looks especially interesting to me—it seems like it could allow for Database-as-a-Service Postgres instances (e.g. RDS, Heroku Postgres) to be stood up with "conventional defaults", and then configured "online" by their consuming application as part of its migrations. No more deploy-time DBParameterGroup fiddling.
I agree. From what I could see, it didn't look like it offered any extra or special functionality. I had expected it to do more dynamic loading of things like comments (like a nice transition over to a comments display or something similar).
If that's the only downside, sign me up! I live in the northeast where having AWD is a basic necessity unless you like not getting out of the house most of the winter.

If you claim that "clueless white men" take more risk, and therefore end up on both extremes (promoted or fired) more often, then they aren't privileged.

Most people who are privileged are white. There's definitely a disproportionate representation. Most white people are not privileged, because most people are not privileged. People who talk about "white privilege" as something extended to all whites haven't been in Appalachia recently.

Gender is much more complicated. There are overprivileged men and women, but gender norms are the strongest at the bottom and top of society, while the middle is most gender-egalitarian. That's why I have no problem making jokes about "rich Daddies" and "trophy wives" when I lampoon the upper class (which is not the same set of people as "the rich"). They actually are deeply sexist, so those depictions are pretty accurate. The result of this is that the upper class directs overprivileged women to the fatuous (sitting on boards of art galleries without understanding art, fashion, etc.) and overprivileged men to positions of power.

Somewhat interesting but not very thought provoking. But some of the history of how it came about was nice. After all, he didn't even answer the question about using a magic wand to banish features of CSS. The first two paragraphs are browser features and the third paragraph speaks of adding features.

Which brings up an interesting point to me, even the creator of CSS provides non-CSS complaints when asked what's wrong with CSS. A great deal of the dislike and hate towards CSS seems to be so misplaced.

But I even do the same thing. When asked what I think is wrong with CSS my response is all the designers out there that continue to insist on designing web pages as if they were print designs for a magazine.
It depends on the features needed. We can all agree that Cordova (http://cordova.apache.org) has placed the power of app building into the hands of every common web designer.

If you have to ask how much without a laundry list to go from, chances are you can use Cordova to get your app going. In Houston, basic apps using it can go from $1K - $5K.

In general people do not ask for raises in big IT companies in US including Microsoft, Google, Facebook and others. The raises are function of performance review, title and budget with very little input from your actual manager. The best way to increase your income is not to ask for a raise but to either get promoted or find position at another company.

I have never ever asked for a raise in my life and I did pretty well for myself.
With regards to separating style and content (and layout):

It seems to me that HTML is no longer the purest form of content. I've been thinking that having your content in an API (or markdown or text files in the case of static site generators), using HTML for the layout (inline styles maybe, or JS driven positioning), and CSS for the styling of the content creates a more flexible and future friendly flow. Then stylesheets could be far simpler. Layout needs to move to a new layer of the stack perhaps.

Assuming you have nothing (except food and shelter):

- A PC or Mac ($300 Vs. $700)

- Internet access (???)

- A developer account ($35 one off, or $99/year)

- A business address (PO Box for one year, approx $62/year)

- Electricity

- Minimum wage at whatever number of hours your app takes to make

- Business licence (if required? see local laws)

- Cost of an accountant (if required?)

- Marketing/SEO costs

- Hosting, domain renew, SSL certificate renew, email, et al.

- Other external resources (e.g. graphics, sounds, et al).

I'd say if you had nothing but a roof over your head and food in your belly you could do it for $600-1K a year including getting a new low end developer machine annual (or other equipment, like second monitors in subsequent years).

$600-1K might sound like a lot, but all the little things add up quickly. This also only covers the cost for a VERY simple basic app. For "AAA" style apps we're talking millions or more.
yes, right now it is aggregated from job boards that i think are of high quality (github, stackoverflow, angellist, etc). but honestly, if you are living outside of tech hubs like SF, New York, Berlin etc, google is still your best bet to find jobs.

its a chicken and egg problem. i was recently looking for a job myself, in a small-ish city (200k people) in germany... and the job boards mentioned above were all completely useless. small companies in small cities don't post jobs in those job boards. its not worth it for them. posting a job at stackoverflow is something like 600 dollars.

i dont have an definite answer yet, all i know is, there must be a better way for finding jobs then google... right now i think i can offer this service, by just manually filling the system with high quality jobs matching all of my users critereas... someday i think this can be automated...

> Putting commands and data inline is a recipe for disaster and a million command injection exploits. The Unix philosophy has broken the minds of generations of programmers. It leads them to doing things like concatenating strings to build SQL queries or doing IPC with ad-hoc regex-parsed protocols or using a couple of magical characters to indicate that the contents of a variable should be parsed and executed instead of just stored.

Yes! And then to compensate, they have to "sanitize" untrusted input to their systems. I had a meeting yesterday with a developer and a project manager at an organization that wants to work with my company to integrate one of our products with one of theirs. I mentioned the possibility of submitting some data in JSON format to a web API on their end, and the project manager asked about the risk of code injection attacks, by which he apparently meant SQL injection. I had to assure him, based on my knowledge of their tech stack (Node.js, CouchDB, and naturally, JSON) that code injection wouldn't be an issue. My point is that the common abuses of strings by Unix and web developers have led to well-known and widely feared security vulnerabilities which just don't exist in software that's built on a foundation of properly structured data.

I think the MVP for an automatic driving system—presuming we don't just get the AI version out soon enough—would be your suggestion (stopping the car when it can't handle a situation), plus passing control of the vehicle to the moral equivalent of OnStar. There'd be call-centres full of people remotely driving drunk/sleeping people's cars for them using the vehicle's instrumentation+the driver's pre-programmed route. Like a taxi service where your own car is the taxi.

Joel Spolsky said that ten years ago. The problem is that devs are afraid to learn unicode. They treat it like learning a foreign language. It's not even a fun problem, like learning a new programming language, so nobody makes time for it. The only people who learn it are those who make it a point of pride to implement something correctly and handle corner cases.

Unicode isn't even hard: Use UTF-8. Don't try to measure the length of a string unless you're rendering that string and measuring the length in screen units like pixels. If you do those two things, that's 90% of the effort of making Unicode-safe software.

I think both views are valid. Those who don't know how to write Unicode-safe software shouldn't feel shamed into learning Unicode before releasing open source work. Those who already know Unicode should feel happy that they're making other people's lives easier.
Slightly off-topic, but the recent surge in responsive UI had me thinking thus:
If we are now driven to merge UI logic across different graphical devices, can we think of apps that span both textual and graphical devices?

After all, the core functionality of the application remains the same. To use a simple example: when you search for a product online, get a search result list and then select one from the list, couldnt this flow be modeled just the same in both gui and text interfaces?

I'm thinking back to the turbo-pascal style applications of the past that produced full-blown IDEs in text, or the wordstars/wordperfects of yore: the UI model that sits behind those apps cannot be much different in principle from the modern day equivalents.

Even farther back, there was a time (and probably still is for college assignments) when cli applications had a prompt-read user input-respond cycle, replete with text-based choices to select from and so forth.

What if we were to merge the two worlds instead of trying to get one to confirm to the other?
You don't enhance your moral authority by adopting a position of weakness and subservience. In general, on the topic of peace, there is never peace through weakness. Wether you need violence or not to exert (your) strength is a wholly different subject. Weakness is inherently unstable, and in a context of instability the ROI on "opportunistic violence" increases. There is plenty of empirical evidence outhere to support this if the logic isn't self evident.

I'm with on you on that Tesla is still too expensive for what you get range-wise. However, they are far and ahead of everyone else. By 2017, when the first Fords, Chevys, and Toyotas with 200 mile range will be rolling out (probably with lots of issues), Tesla will have years of expertise and technology innovation on them. They are almost a decade early on all of this stuff.

Now, as far as having two motors, no it's not brand new. There are even prototypes/one-offs that have a motor on each wheel. The innovation is that you now have a car with two electric engines, one up front, one in the back, that can be controlled by software, really tuned for the driving conditions and based on sensor inputs, and updated remotely for better range, better performance, etc. That, and actual performance of a Ferrari for just over $100k.
