Glad you brought this up!

We do have a value prop with developers in that we take the search and direct applicant process out of job opportunities in addition to making the process easier. Since we match developers with companies based on their profile, we are filtering out opportunities and then presenting them with ones that are best suited for their skills. In this way we essentially cut through the clutter of jobs that they might not be a good match for. At this point the developer can view the opportunities and the mutual interest mechanism is set in place if they are interested. They are immediately in front of the companies themselves and not just another direct applicant or introduction.

We also help manage multiple job opportunities for developers so that they can view, manage,and evaluate their opportunities post match and interest. This is all visual and it is very easy for the developer to also know what requires something actionable to progress. Of course they can take advantage of our scheduling, video interviewing, and dashboard to eliminate as much friction as possible to the point of hire.

Hopefully this helps provide clarity as to why a developer should signup for Codeity!

they think that I'm getting old and that I should go outside and socialize in work environment because they fear that I will become a hermit and never have a family on my own and that they will have to support me forever.
A month or two ago I had to call 999 to report a fire on my road. I gave the names of my road and neighbourhood and the operator asked which town or city I was in.

This threw me a little as I live in what is, arguably, the UK's second city (Manchester) and assumed that the system would have at least identified that much from the cell tower.

Still, the fire brigade responded within 5-10 minutes of me placing the call and had the blaze under control little more than 10 minutes after that so I guess the system works.

Whenever I see a news article that mentions that automated alerts were ignored, I wonder how many false positives that piece of software produces. My own brief career as a sysadmin taught to loath, dread and distrust automated alerts.

For good or for ill, erroneous alerts are treated like the boy who cried wolf. Errors are indicative of moral failings and evil intent on the software's part.
I'd post my rant about teamsters here, but I'm afraid I'm not a teamster so I'm not allowed to do that.
As someone working in that area, I have to disagree. Sure, speaker recognition can work very well under certain circumstances, but there is no unique signature. (that would imply that you could successfully discriminate between any two speakers in the world, irrespective of any other factors)
North Jersey Builds a Lot of Housing, and Here’s How They Do It
Not trying to be an ass, but you are 26. Your parents have no say on what you do with your life, unless you are living in their house rent free and they are paying your bills. In which case, they do have some say, especially if you can't pay your bills and they don't see something towards progress as they view it.

I am not suggesting you start a war with your parents, but they will not understand your position easily. Instead try to appeal to their compassion. Explain to them you understand and respect that they are just trying to look out for you but that you have struggled doing the traditional job. Tell them that you need their moral support because their opinion means so much and you want them to be proud of you. Explain to them that you also have to be proud of yourself so you want to give this a go for 3, 6 months whatever you think it will take to get enough people to cover your old salary. I take it you are likely outside the US given the low dollar amount for a developer salary, so maybe this can work out for you since you have a lower threshold (which is awesome).

Also, I recognize that culturally the parent/child relationships are unique, but I think all parents want their kids happy and to be proud of them, so appeal to that.

If all else fails, stall them for a few months, or get some freelancing work to keep them happy and still make progress on your sales.
What does managing careers of subordinates mean? Sorry to ask a basic question but most of my experience is at startups that barely have structure to the team. What specifically should managers be doing to support their team members's careers?

There are varying degrees of "fine". I'm sure it's acceptable, but according to tests, even Chromebooks with octa-core 1.8 GHz Exynos chips are somewhat laggy compared to Intel-based alternatives. Chrome OS is basically a browser on Linux, after all.

I know the variety of hardware; started with ZX Spectrum (3.5 MHz 8-bit Z80), programmed TCP stack on a 25 MHz 16-bit CPU and I could be fine with a six-year-old laptop (typing on one, actually). Still, premium-priced laptop could use more power; especially if it's ARM, there's never too much.
They almost certainly had it on the screen in front of them. They typically ask for full details anyway, primarily to confirm. City often gets asked separately to make sure the report gets to the right place.
Perhaps you have a different definition of investigation than I do. I see the investigation as the active bit where you are talking to people, looking through logs, trying to figure out what happened. At the end of that, you would have a report that said "this is what happened: this is the data that was lost and this is how it was done". That doesn't imply that every interview and every log file gets published.

Of course there is going to be some level of sanitization, but today we get no information beyond "we lost a bunch of data" (oh, look, they told us names, address, email, "and other information used to categorize customers", whatever that means).

If you decide it's not relevant to you, brilliant. Don't pay attention to it. It is relevant to me, because I don't have any other way to decide who I should trust with my information security. A company losing hundreds of credit cards a day to hundreds of different hacks is much less secure in my mind than a company that loses 70M names and addresses (as far as I know, the Chase hack did not expose credit cards; mine was not replaced). The former goes unreported; the latter gets splashed all over the news.
It's more accurate to call it a Caesar cipher in GF2(8) instead of a one-time pad.

Sure. I wonder why noone more mainstream has incorporated FPGA into a consumer PC. Probably they will, in a few years' time.
Thats an interesting example.

zsh does the right thing, when you bg it back it recovers the loop as it was.
Bash seems to forget about the loop and only recovers the "sleep 1", when it starts executing again it sleeps 1 and exits.

If you want to make sure it will work you should wrap it around another bash:

bash -c 'while true ; do sleep 1 ; done'

should work fine.
Generally, people get upset either because the trick is unnecessary (the code is not performance sensitive to begin with) or because the trick is counterproductive (modern CPUs are so complex that it's easy to make performance much worse if you naively "improve" your code). Only a few fools get upset if you use a necessary trick that actually gets the job done.
This adds a lot of necessary balance to the discussion.

That being said, I can show you literally dozens if not hundreds of situations where a few minutes (actually seconds) made all the difference between life and death.
The question I find more interesting is what % of people in the early stages mentioned here ever collect on their equity?
Because the value (almost none to almost everybody) doesn't offset the cost and never will.
I agree with you that things like this take work. But I also feel like it's sentiments like the parent comment that lead to the problem in the first place. Like you mentioned, male-dominated workplaces need to meet women in the middle, but how is that possible when they are completely unsympathetic, as the above comment seems to be?

Thoughts and Rules to Stop Configuration Management Code from Forking
I haven't joined any meetups. I have work projects I can talk through, but nothing public-facing.
As for #3, that's what "testing" (or "acceptance", if automated tests are run not in "development" phase, but at a separate "testing" stage) in development→testing→production sequence is for. It's virtually the same setup, running the code intended for production, but not visible to general audience.
I personally know someone who has worked at a company for the past 3 years, making ~100k base for <1% equity (4 year vesting). When he joined the company, everyone knew it would IPO in a few years. The company recently IPOed. He made the equivalent of $400k/year (base + 3 year vesting of equity), which is AFAIK more than what his friends who went to Google/FB/etc. make.

Of course, this involved taking on a small risk that the company would not end up IPOing. But everyone in the industry knew it was on its way up, and the company was already mid-sized when he joined.
Yea how is this useful or even meaningful without mentioning the how it gets in? Worthless analysis otherwise.
EU-US Trade Negotiations Continue Shutting Out the Public
The Egyptians flooded the tunnels with sewage on the Egyptian side. The tunnels, unlike the ones from Gaza into Israel are not used to kill civilians, nor is Hamas shooting missiles into Egypt.

You might be interested in the words of British Colonel Kemp, who was in charge of all British forces in Afghanistan:

"Kemp pointed out that, during the operation, there was approximately one civilian casualty for ever terrorist killed by the IDF, whereas the average in the world is four civilians for every combatant, and that, when taking into consideration Hamas’s use of human shields, this shows how careful the IDF is.

“No army in the world acts with as much discretion and great care as the IDF in order to minimize damage. The US and the UK are careful, but not as much as Israel,” he told the committee."

There are a lot of logistical reasons why this is a really bad idea, but here are a few quick ones off the top of my head:

1.) I assume people would want to record themselves doing something a bit more interesting than just walking in a wide open area at the same pace where 100' of cable can't get snagged on anything.
2.) Any sort of quick changes in direction are going to tug on the wire, at worst risking causing the drone to crash, at best causing the video to take you out of frame.
3.) If there's any sort of speed involved, the drag of that wire in the wind will eat up power.
4.) The weight of 100' of cable will add up quickly, especially if you want it to be robust enough to handle being snagged/tugged. You certainly don't want a break in the cable, because a sudden loss of power will be catastrophic.
Parens work too:

(while true ; do sleep 1 ; done)
Don't be so negative. They'll pay you $1xx,000/year...once they raise funding in 3 months.

In all seriousness, I'm not sure why so many people assume that the salaries posted on AngelList should be taken at face value. With minimal due diligence, it's clear that a lot of the startups are unlikely to have enough funding or traction (in the form of revenue) to support the salaries that they purport to be offering. As you pointed out, they're just trying to get warm bodies through the door and hoping a few of them will drink the kool-aid.
An OS level policy is what I think would be best. Notify the user, "Did you just insert a USB keyboard?", and wait for their approval to enable the HID.

This can be worked upon, e.g., automatically allowing the first keyboard and pointer devices, or allowing all devices if the user feels lucky etc.

One large problem I see, that can be be rectified by perhaps only the USB standard-setters, is whitelisting. Currently, the best handle are the idVendor and idProduct properties, but a BadUSB can easily spoof those too. Cryptographic signatures for identification is what I'm thinking would be best.

upvoted because software developers who avoid heavily testing their code, and the use of code analysis tools, are often surprised once they start testing and analyzing their code.
This doesn't sound right. How do you geofence every tree and telephone pole?
I often think that people just can not conceive of the scales of disasters that are possible and can befall anybody, including the US. You look at the frankly incredible measures that may be necessary to prevent an outbreak, and it's easy to imagine the costs, the screaming from the affecting (and, given the topic, possibly the literal screaming on the evening news of perfectly innocent people against their will being confined in their own houses unto literal death), the economic costs of shutting things down and quarantining people, etc., politically and economically all very expensive, and in the face of an imagination unable to truly, fundamentally believe these things are possible, the will to take the necessary actions can not be found, because the benefits are literally inconceivable.

And there are oh-so-many things that are so much more fun to spend time on for those in authority, and the odds that their fundamental preparations will be found wanting so low during their tenure, that the appeal of shifting all resources and money away from basic prep is tempting to the point of irresistibility.

Unfortunately, the disasters that can occur are not bounded by our imagination.

(And I do mean fun for those in authority. Contemplating emergencies is not fun. Exerting primate dominance over others in the so very many varied ways that humans are capable of is so much more fun.)
Curated list of Local events in the NY area
Absolutely. That's still a very small fraction of 911 encounters.

It's also probably more true for law enforcement calls. In the case of EMS calls, really the only things that need to happen Right Now™ are basic airway maneuvers (positioning, Heimlich, etc), CPR, and defibrillation. If you can do those things (all of which are taught in a CPR class), you've got 90% of the EMS related 'seconds matter' scenarios covered.
I've re-read it, and I would say I have the soft skills down for sure. I like to think I did well at translating business to engineering, collaboration intra- and interdepartmentally, sharing and explaining code. I do at least the engineering principles you've listed. It still stands I have a lot of things to check off your list. Thanks!

I know someone looking for an iOS dev, I'll pass that along. Can't really promise anything but maybe something will come from it.
Never say never. With the benefits of Moore's law approaching zero, specialization of CPU's seems to be the way to go. Intel saw the writing on the wall and partnered with Altera, even lending them their state-of-the-art fabs: something one would have thought will never happen. http://www.altera.com/devices/fpga/stratix-fpgas/stratix10/s...

For many tasks, from games to databases, FPGA's could provide huge benefits. The only reason I can see why FPGA's weren't adopted by mainstream PCs is that improving CPU's was so much easier. But with the ever-diminishing returns from x86 improvement, I can very well imagine that FPGAs could become viable in the mainstream.

Based on my current experience, I would avoid joining a team that had a manager partaking in programming / devops.

All different types of managers can be good or bad, my personal experience has just been that managers who dive into technical tasks, even just bug fixing and devopsy stuff, tend to neglect their managerial responsibilities just enough to be a chronic frustration to everyone below them.

Having only been in the industry a few years, it's also extremely frustration when a manager does not delegate responsibilities you're interested in taking on. So my view now is that if you're a manager taking on technical tasks, you're denying your employees opportunities to grow professionally. It certainly depends on mood at the time, but in a negative cycle, this can feel like a vote of no confidence from your manager.

I agree that this is a nice thing. A similar phenomenon happens in Python. There, the trailing comma on a final item is mostly optional, but I usually put it in regardless. Occasionally I have to deal with similar code in C++, and it's always just a bit annoying.

I'm reminded of how refreshing it was to move from Pascal to C 'waaaay back when. Among other things, I could now end every statement with a semicolon, no matter what.

Little (and big) changes in syntax that make life easier for the programmer are worthwhile. Language designers, let's pay attention to these things!
I can see where by knowing of Pirate Joe's and not taking action against them, someone could argue that Trader Joe's was authorizing him to resale their products.
The "middle of an instruction" trick has been known for a long time in the demoscene where size is highly constrained, and makes an appearance in many of the tiniest intros. Some packers also do similar things, but more in an attempt to obfuscate than optimise.

I vaguely remember it being discussed in an obscure demoscene magazine article (20+ years ago) about size-optimisation techniques, where it was called a "bridge". I also had some experience working with a disassembler/decompiler that could detect such tricks and output a multicolumn disassembly.

The amount of skill and their results demonstrated by many groups in the demoscene continues to amaze and inspire me, particularly those on platforms like the NES and C64 - a tiny system orders of magnitude smaller and slower than PCs today, yet these people can make them do things that most people would think require far more powerful hardware.
> I'd love to understand the business logic behind Trader Joe's response to this.

I realize this sounds silly and trollish, but my conclusion from a couple of marketing classes and years of news is that marketing people are aliens. They don't really share perceptions or value functions with the rest of the human race. The highest moral value is the good of the brand, which acquires a sort of religious significance beyond even money. Pirate Joe's doesn't hurt Trader Joe's bottom line or threaten their trademarks, but it's an insult to The Brand. That makes them angry, just like defacing a Bible makes a Christian fundamentalist angry.

This explains, for example, why businesses keep running into the Streisand Effect over and over and over and never learning. In Business Land, the only moral and rational response to threats to The Brand is to suppress them, and the only proper tool for resolving grievances is the lawsuit. It's not that they're mustache-twirling villains; they've genuinely forgotten that humans respond to censorship with moral outrage, or that it's possible to open a conversation without a legal threat.
If you don't like the license, don't use the framework. It's that simple. Charging for commercial licenses for libraries is a perfectly valid business strategy, and I can see lots of F# developers paying for this.
