This is disappointing news, not only for French people but also this is a trend in many countries.

I am a huge fan of Katherine Austin Fitts (solari.com) and while she discusses this type of policy that is harmful to average people, she makes the good point that there is not much to be done about it so it is better adapt to a non optimal world in ways we can control: understanding how central banks and the financial systems work, understand governments' desire for population control, etc.

I have mostly worked remotely as a consultant since 1997 and any prohibition against routine encryption would make it difficult for me to do business. I expect to see a trend where more small countries promote privacy and more secure non hacked by government infrastructure in an attempt at being more competitive, business wise.
I suppose this includes the many ways I can search for things on my Android phone that always goes through Google? As opposed to the fewer ways I can search on my desktop that doesn't always go through Google?

No, the logic error is yours, not theirs. They said "tea-partier ERGO fiat-money-hater". You're asserting the straw-man opposite.
Alternative advice from someone with an anarchistic bent: ignore the law and join the resistance against government. The more people who do it, the less power they have to stop it. People convincing themselves that they need to stay out of trouble and play by the government's rules is what Nietzsche would call internalising the slave mentality, and Foucault "self-policing."
If you take a look at your Search Terms Report, you'll realize that the likeliness is higher than you think. The Kanetix example was more on the extreme side, but it was there to make a point that bigger companies make these silly mistakes too.

You're not going to sit around for hours on end to craft the perfect ad copy - that's what A/B testing is for. However, you can (and I have) sat around for hours looking at a month's worth of keyword data. You may not agree with me (which is completely fine), but like I said clicks happen and that's money you could have saved.

It's simple advice, but it's something that a lot of people overlook - bringing it to everyone's attention was the purpose.
Flexbox app – the interactive cheat sheet for Flexbox
Flexbox is a new CSS3 layout technology enabling developers to easily construct complex layouts. Before Flexbox, those layouts were difficult or impossible to achieve.

The Flexbox App is an interactive cheat sheet built with React. It allows you to try out all the new Flexbox attributes with instant visual feedback. Once you’re done playing around, you can use the tool to easily prototype actual Flexbox layouts - and soon also export the CSS!
I don't know, i have sent perhaps 25 or so applications during last few years for various remote Frond-End positions. I'm very-very good and i like what I'm doing, thank you very much. My happy day is when I receive automated rejecting letter, that happens in 10% of cases. In other cases, silence. I have failed to score a single interview. And I'm 50 :-) I guess i need to hold on of my current and boring job for as long as i can. Also i have been thinking, what those youngsters are so afraid of. In remote position i will not die in their precious Aeron chair and spoil their foosball game...
I should be cleared about the use of the term "Professor" in a UK university compared to the US - in the department I worked in that had maybe 50 lecturing staff (i.e. full time permanent academic staff) and 6 or 7 people at the level of Professor:

It's a shame about the tone of this post. I think it might not suit HN. As a Google Cloud customer, though, I think you do manage to be spot on about a lot of the things Google are doing wrong when it comes to the Cloud Platform.

Today I came across an App Engine SDK bug that was reported almost 5 years ago, has a several years old patch in the comments, and still hasn't been remedied by Google. App Engine users who encounter it have to find the bug, apply the patch to the SDK, and repeat that upon each SDK update.
Good description, but I'm missing lesson learned #0: Do not wait too long before informing your users, even if only to tell them "we know about it and are working on it"
I'm 43 and have not experienced any problems finding work. I picked up a CS/Math BS degree at the age of 37. I'd been working as developer for about 10 years, but got the degree becuase I find the field generally interesting. I leave my first degree off my resume which was 15 years prior. So, from my the graduation date on my resume people assume I'm a lot younger than I am. Plus I'm often told I look young for my age.

Edit I would add that my current job the majority of developers are late 30's early 40's similar to myself.
The latency issue is now entirely solved in the DK2 so that's now a non-issue. I had it working on a 7950 even. The 980s and the Titan allow for real-time down sampling to eliminate all judder and help with the SDE.

Yes and no. Surely the people handing his credit card to his black friends after receiving it from him have reason to know better.

Besides that, I think the point is not just that people assume he's black, which would just be a curiosity, but that that assumption shapes their attitudes toward him.

I do not see it. I worked forMarsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. It has been around for years, has billions in revenue, and owns Mercer HR Services with customers like Toyota Motor Corp., Halliburton, American Airlines and many many others. They have a platform, SASS model, and nothing much different that what zenefits is doing. Even in the mid market they are extremely competitive. I do not see this is worth 4.5 billion dollars.
And since all laws aren't good, people who break laws should not have to ever go to jail. Just fine them instead, regardless of the law, because some laws are bad.

There's still more money, code, and mindshare invested in Common Lisp than in Clojure, and this isn't likely to change any time soon.
One of the advantages of Structured Code Editors is that you don't have to store plain text, you can use a code per construct. I guess this is one of the reasons the Sinclair Zx81 (1KB RAM) used a structured editor.

Why is tenure at one company automatically assumed to be tenure at one job? I used to work for a major defense contractor. For every engineer there who spent nearly their entire careers in a particular role on a particular program there was another who spent 20+ years moving from program to program, often as a sort of internal consultant. I would honestly put that latter person ahead of both the former and the person who changes companies every 2 - 3 years if I were hiring.

In what way does that sentence imply that you are a militia man or Tea Partier, given your beliefs?

The sentence reads: "Militia men and Tea Partiers hate fiat money". Not "people who hate fiat money are Tea Partiers or militiamen".

Some people love to be offended, I guess.
As a white guy with a (very mildly) African American sounding name, I have had similar experiences. When I meet people in person after emailing them they sometimes seem surprised, and some later admit they expected me to be black. The worst example was when I was told by someone renting a room on craigslist that they couldn't rent to me because I was a "security threat", even though I had hardly said anything about myself. It must be tough for those who face that kind of attitude constantly and are unable to escape it.
> The research also has wider repercussions on non-gaming online situations

Arrrgh. Why do this? This type of thing seems to be very common in articles/papers like this i.e. present a perfectly sensible summary of some experimental evidence. Then make some wild speculation as to its impact or cause. Then...nothing. No suggestion as to how one would follow this up, why it's related to the experiment other than superficially. Nothing.

You often seem to get this with behavioral studies where the study itself is interesting and sensible and then some stab in the dark as to what the evolutionary cause is. The End.

Winds me up especially as the meat of the article is quite interesting and informative.
I didnt say they were. My argument is that the French enable the Russian war machine. Just because these things aren't being used in the current conflict doens't mean they won't be used on Russia's neighbors in the future.

Countries with militaries that enable each other have tight intel relationships. This French/Russia rivalry is non-existant.

I think if you're not over-specialized that you can still do well. Doing be a person who just writes device drivers, or just does web stuff, or just writes toolchains. Do it all, and at depth when you can.

I tend to get into projects that are 2-3 years in scope and involve actually shipping new technologies at consumer scale. This will teach you all kinds of interesting things, from fundamental product underpinnings to making devices manufacturable.

Keep coding, that's for sure. It's not a young person's game if you keep at it. My father in law retired, a firmware engineer, at 75.
Couple of off the cuff thoughts: Why can't people use the expression "niger" in context? It was clearly meant as a racial insult, and I think people need to remember that that is the way it is commonly used. Replacing it with a placeholder doesn't make racism go away or make the word less racist, all it does it soften the racism used in that instance.

His TSA story is more likely fiction. Is he saying that there are "TSA" in London? And in either case I've never seen the TSA select people "randomly" by name alone (in fact they do their profiling based on appearance, not name, which is arguably even more insidious). Even if they DID select by name, how would he, a selectee know the names of everyone else selected at the same time? The whole story makes no sense and sounds made up (by someone who's never travelled or been randomly selected no less).

I've been randomly selected a handful of times, but they don't know my name when they do so.
But apparently we share a common platform, so at what point am I de facto tea party? Serious question.

Our bureaucratic preoccupation with racial and gender categories is much like those who segmented bloodlines into Untouchables, or royalty. (As if it was ever impressive to be related to some glorified dictator called a "king".) Consider that, depending on your racial category, it may be ok for the US state to choke you to death in public.

Even just to speak normal English, you have to basically surveil into people's genders. (He/she. One consequence is you have to cram many people into a false category, like a bureaucrat only having yes/no on the form.)
Same. Apple has shown time and time again that nothing good comes from rushing into a new market with a half baked product. You will win the fight but lose the war. Hopefully they are smart enough to ship it with a polished SDK, App Store and some good content.

There's a really great application for this.

In the Autism community parents and educators often use what they call Social Stories to try and impart some lesson to the child/adult. For ASD persons it is often a useful way to retain and understand things.

There's a wide range of uses (from life skills to traditional education). This platform could be very helpful for parents and educators to create and share stories with one another. I'd love to see this head in the direction.

I may be able to put you in touch with parents who could test the platform and give feedback.
They currently have a Linux SDK on developer.oculus.com, so looks like Linux support now, for the hardware they've already shipped. Third-party games are a different matter, but that's less inside their control.
I agree. All you have to do is watch videos of today's kids playing games from the previous era. I've seen some where a handful of kids were unable to finish the first level of Super Mario Bros after several tries. But to be fair, most people never say the third board of Donkey Kong.

Although, I do also agree that there are extremely hard games today. I just think they are aimed at people like me for nostalgia reasons but also the current players that actually want a challenge. Otherwise, the mechanic goes against the current trends best suited for making money in the market.

As for health being a carefully managed resource, there were also the games where you get hit once and you die. In those cases lives were the carefully managed resource. Which that type of game was common. They don't seem as common these days.

But I think most of the hard factor of games of the past was a holdover from arcades where the goal was to kill you within a few minutes so you would insert another quarter. Games at the time tended to mimic that mechanic.
Well, Google more or less tried the same with Dart and has since abandoned that plan in favor of targeting JS as Dart's primary runtime. Then again, the Dart VM never shipped in mainline Chrome, so who knows how a more committed attempt would have played out.

FYI, in the case of Google Wallet for Digital Goods, Google essentially did what you are saying they wouldn't do.

Google Wallet for Digital Goods was retired a couple of months back, but they still use it on some Google properties. It's still used for the Chrome Web Store developer fee & I think Android, too. They essentially just made it private.

You might argue that BigTable going through the same thing would be too impactful, but GWDG was quite impactful as well. Businesses that had subscribers paying monthly subscriptions via Google Wallet lost those subscribers.
That's what you get when many people code with only one company in mind. It happened in the past and it is happening again, whether we like it or not. Even Microsoft was kinda masquerading early versions of Edge as Chrome.

This is just my opinion, but I think programmers aren't really special or unique for going from programming to farming or other types of physical jobs. I think that we just talk about it more online (and here in particular) because we're digital natives. There are plenty of people that have done 180 degree turns out there, and they don't necessarily have forums where they can share this need for change.

An old friend of mine was a car rental manager for ERAC. It's a stressful but stable job with room for growth. He rose to a damage control supervisor position at the Sacramento headquarters, then spent a couple of years feeling depressed, thinking something is missing in his life. Fast forward to 5 years later, and I find out he's now an offshore diver based out of Houston. From office ties to diving suits, helmet, breathing hose, belt and breast weights, and leaded feet. He couldn't be happier.
This is embarrassing to the observatories involved. If you go to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in the US, one of the first things they show you is a microwave oven inside of a stainless steel sealed box. It is there so people can heat their lunch without interfering with the observatory. They also have a small display where you can place your digital camera, cell phone, etc. and look at its emissions across the spectrum.

They encourage visitors but you really have to leave everything electronic behind. The staff uses old diesel vehicles without electronics. Any on site radio communications is done on a frequency below the cutoff of the observatory.

Well, it bugs me because can native speakers really believe their own language to be ugly? Has a German ever said, "how ugly German is, if only I were born speaking something beautiful like Italian?"

If native speakers don't believe their own languages to be ugly, then it certainly seems like a xenophobic belief.
Yes. But, you have to keep up with current technology. My father is 65 and his phone is ringing off the hook with offers. But he knows C++, Java, Android, Win32, Python, D, etc. etc.
