Oh please. People should know better than to use work email for personal stuff. This is a major corporation's work email. Not 'private correspondence.'

The whole idea that business email (and email in general) isn't already essentially public is a farce - the business itself has at will access to any employee's mails, and it can all be subpoena'd without warrant.

At best we should feel sorry for the employees not understanding this and treating their employer as a benevolent and trustworthy party.
Not me. The chances are too high that they'll confidently say all the wrong things, and too many things too.
I think you're right about the revenue curve, I think our whole discussion has been about whether the slope has changed over time. I've heard a lot here from developers that mention that it's harder now than it was, but that's obviously not a rigorous way to go about figuring the truth of the matter.

So what? You don't have any co-workers that rant? Most programmers get respect for their skills. I've worked with all kinds. How? Professionalism. They want to wear funny hats, or a tutu, whatever. Some of them even make catty remarks about other employees clothing choices. That's pretty low, but I put up with it.

When I read things like this, I have to wonder how much socioeconomic statics affects the outcome. They do acknowledge at the end of the article that this is a private school, and that they intend to bring more lower income children into the school under scholarships. But this model seems to require children who are already above average in intelligence, drive, emotional adjustment, etc. so the disadvantaged students who make it in will already be exceptions.

I would be interested in whether this environment would be better or worse for a typical public school student (after a period of adjustment).
My god, why can't white cis males handle any criticism? It's as if people live in paralyzing fear of being called a name. And then can't wait for an opportunity to say "Aha!

REPLICATING SQLITE USING RAFT CONSENSUS
Privately yes. To your partner. Yes. To your close friends over drinks. Yes.

To a semi-private social media account that will probably become public? No. That speaks of entitlement and narcissism.

And the fact that most millennials think it is "reasonable" to whine and cry publicly when they don't get their way is the problem.

If she were professional, she would have taken the opportunity to learn from it, change her interview/work-casual appearance a bit for the next job prospect, and try again.

The fact that she ranted at all about a commonality such as dress code in business shows how unprofessional she is, and I have to agree with other comments that this probably showed through in the interview.

My general rule of thumb for my staff is do your work well, and I don't care if you wear jeans and a polo, cut out fifteen minutes early/take a few extra minutes on lunch/show up a bit late every once in a while. As long as our users are happy, work is done, and quality is high that is what matters and I will cover for you and have your back if anyone questions it.

But, I would expect a possible job applicant to show up on time, in a suit or button down/slacks. And not act like an entitled, special snow flake regardless of obvious talent and skill.

It is unfortunate she didn't get the job, but making a bullshit stink about how unfair it is publicly is just awful. Grow up.
Somewhat on topic: a while back I turned on international keyboard support on my iPhone. When I need to write something in French on the phone, I tap the globe icon on the keyboard, it swaps to AZERTY, and the autocorrect features start picking up French and correcting accents into the text for me. Is useful :)

>But I can imagine that a big company doesn't want every Tom, Dick, and Harry poking at their sensitive bits.

I think they'd prefer whitehats over blackhats poking at their sensitive bits.

>What about it?

Situations like this can make the news. They can cause a big hubbub. They can raise awareness. Not always (this case seems like it definitely won't) - but doing these greyhat sort of pranks has a larger chance than never talking about it at all.

>That would most likely be in the compensation agreement, lots of legaleese.

I meant if it was anonymously reported (unless this is optional) - they would not be able to be contacted for compensation. I'm all for emailing/anonymous tips without expectations of compensation.

Should we really be defending companies because "they shouldn't have to pay out money to improve their security of OUR PERSONAL DATA"?

I don't care if every Tom, Dick, Jane, and Harry is poking around sensitive areas. If they're getting into 'secured' areas or stealing personal information - that's a problem for people and it's the companies job to have tighter security.
Most songs are based on chord progressions (a sequence of several chords) that is repeated through the whole song. More precisely, there maybe different chord progressions within a given song. For instance, one per section (intro, verse, bridge, chorus, outro and so on...).

In theory, there are tons of possible chord progressions but not all of them sound good. In practice some are extremely common (like I - IV - V in rock or ii - V - I in jazz) and can be shared across very different genres. Google "common chord progressions" for many examples.

Now for the numbering system. Chord progressions can be described as a sequence of numbers that define the chords in a relative way (in CS terms, think of a relative path in a file system VS an absolute path). In music, what is important to the listener ear is the relation between the notes, not so much the absolute pitch of those notes.

Example : A - D - E and E - A - B are the same progressions (I - IV - V) in the key of A for the first one, and in the key of E for the second one.

Things get more complicated because you can have different quality of chords (minor, major, dominant...) but you get the idea.

The mindset may not be a millennial thing but its prominence in modern society most certainly is. Where once the hate-fueled rhetoric these kinds spew all day and night would have been written off as the delusions of a bitter lunatic, social media has given them a platform to find those similar to them, to network, to organise, etc. and those people tend to be within the millennial age group.

Yup, the spirit of Bitcoin, at least its original spirit, was total distrust, with no authorities needed or wanted, and it was designed specifically to fulfil this function.

The article talks about starting groups of trusted companies, setting up barriers to entry etc etc, in order to build trust. These are authorities.

Arguably Bitcoin is already dependent on trust - collusion between pool operators is entirely possible, they and the developers have already shown that they are an authority (when the various forks and merges have happened).

A crypto-currency with an authority can be done in such a way that mining is unnecessary.

Microsoft's official position is that any greenfield project should be in C++ and for those developers that really want a C compiler there are other options.

Specially in a world where most APIS are either .NET or transitioning to COM/Windows Runtime.

> I wouldn't worry about working for a HW company. The job is nothing special.

It's more the nature of the work. I want to work on hardware, but not for a defense contractor again. I'm reasonably good at the CS-ey stuff I'm doing now, but I don't really like it. I like making physical devices do things.

> Stuff like web and NLP (Natural Language Processing I assume?) is a little bit too high level for most HW engineering work unfortunately.

Until four weeks ago I had never done any serious web dev, and NLP was just the first escape path that presented itself when I desperately wanted out of a defense contractor black hole. I am, fundamentally, a signal processing engineer. Even when I was doing real-time radar code nobody wanted to talk to me.
If there are no relevant laws restricting the release of said information (FIRPA? HIPPA?) it's merely social pressures and convention that leave most communication private, not the law.

I believe this is similar to Microsoft's driver model, where at the end of the day, they decide what's signed or not and thus what can hook into the kernel.

> Fair use is a exemption that exists in copyright law. It's not free speech.

Fair use was a judicially-created copyright law doctrine founded on the First Amendment freedom of speech and press before it was codified, in a very loose form closely mirroring the pre-existing judicially-created factors, into the copyright statutes in 1976. So it is an express exemption in statutory copyright law, but it is also closely tied to First Amendment free speech/press.

And, independently of whether the statutory exemption applies, that the First Amendment freedom of speech and press limits the scope of exclusive rights that can be granted in copyright and permits those rights nominally assigned in the statute to be violated when the government grant of those exclusive rights would conflict with speech/press freedoms is the entire foundation of the pre-existing fair use doctrine.

That's reality. The truth is you never know. I'm a fairly large man and I've been told on multiple occasions that people were intimidated by me the first time they met me. That affects things like interviews.

Fair? Maybe not, but I know I have a tendency to intimidate people so I do my best to adjust for it.

That's the way it works, and if someone wants to be in the workforce they have to accept that. I don't mean to sound like that guy, but it's the truth as far as I can see.

Then don't. The differences aren't that big that it would take you more than an hour or two to learn them. It's just that it takes time and effort to port older code.

Python 3 is happening, and that's the reality.
Part of the foundation of understanding and appreciating text editors is understanding and appreciating the value of text, rather than trying to abstract it away under an IDE's several layers of GUI controls, widgets, and platform-specific APIs often designed by a single company that's trying to convince you to lock the future of your career and/or company to its platform.

Furthermore, neither emacs nor vim are hard to learn. There's a widespread myth perpetuated both by novices and elitists that it's an all or nothing kind of thing. The reality is that even in vim you can use arrow keys and mouse/trackpad scrolling and ignore hjkl if you want. You could, for example, use terminal vim every single day and use only about 5.5 vim-specific commands: i, ctrl-c, :w, :q / :q!, and ZZ. With gvim or macvim, you could reduce that to two: i and ctrl-c.

Perhaps. Playing devil's advocate, though: I've worked plenty of places where some individuals can get away with t-shirt and jeans but the overall business tends toward business casual, and there is still an expectation that you get dressed up for a job interview.

Personally I think that's entirely acceptable. It's not a double standard, it's simply a policy that acknowledges that there are different social contexts. A job interview might fall into a different context from your day-to-day experience. Another case in point: My colleagues and I curse quite a bit at work, but that doesn't mean any of us would consider it appropriate to curse at a job interview.

Not saying this is exactly how it played out in reality, and there's always the question of unequal enforcement of equal standards.

Are you kidding me? These are not just work emails.

In 15 minutes of reading I've found personal communications, medical issues, people confiding in a friend over marital problems, etc.

This is 2015. People use their work email for personal communications. Should they? Probably not. However, any reasonable person knows that most people do this.

That's something that annoys me about bikes in the US vs. Europe: People in Europe are generally taught to obey the same laws as everybody else, whereas US bicyclists, in NYC in particular, just completely wing it. When I first moved here I didn't understand why everybody hated on bicyclists; now, after nearly being hit by a bicycle slamming through a crowded crosswalk at least 10 times, I do.

Yes, red lights apply to you too, bicyclists.
> Of course one might worry for those one leaves behind - but in most cases, this does the living a disservice, as to think one essential in the life of another is egoistic at best, and controlling and damaging at worst.

You are in a firefight. There are two sides to it, and you are on one of them. Your side comprises multiple people. You are shot in the head. The probability that the others on your side will also be shot has just increased.

Recognizing this is neither egoistic, controlling, or damaging.

It is not difficult to abstract this scenario to the entire world. What you do, and what is done to you, has consequences. These consequences do not evaporate upon your death, unless you are very purely solipsistic. You can choose to not care about these consequences, of course, but such apathy can fairly easily be framed as egoistic, controlling, or damaging.

Casual wear is a dress code. It is common practice to ask the HR people scheduling the interview what kind of dress code is applied at the company.

Companies will pass on someone for wearing a suit if their are expected to be dressed casually. It happens all the time at startups. Being overdressed is a non starter sometimes.
That's pretty much why Snowden went to Glenn Greenwald instead of WikiLeaks - he didn't want to just publish all the info he took, possibly doing a lot of damage and risking people's lives, and he also didn't feel he should decide for himself what to expose, so he left that in hands of journalists.
Trip requests only come in when the driver has marked themselves as available. Uber will often offer a guaranteed minimum for a given night if you mark yourself as available. The cut-off is to remove folks from the pool who sit at home declining rides while claiming to be available.

So official government emails vs official company emails? These weren't individuals' private emails, they were emails sent on company information systems. When you send private emails on a company system, they become company emails.

While this doesn't add much to the discussion, I found your package pricing to be somewhat confusing (perhaps this is a typo?) [1].

I think the "per per user/year" reads strangely, since I translate that as "per per user per year".

As another side question, suppose I sign up for a GitLab account and have repositories there. Is it possible to import / move them easily if I later decide to host my own instance?

One only needs to bike a couple minutes in New York to start encountering hazards, even in lanes specifically designated for bike use. I ride in NYC daily and usually encounter at least one of the following in bike lanes on every other block: car or delivery truck double-parked, construction, police activity, someone walking or running in bike lane, car doors opening. There's often no other option for some of these things (I particularly empathize with delivery drivers), but it all creates a very hazardous atmosphere, especially for those not accustomed to riding in the city.
