I've read research that found that the more anonymous a good deed became, the less likely people were to do it. I also remember reading research that found that the more guilty a person feels, the more charitable they are in an anonymous setting.

This was all years ago, but in general, there are some ways to test why people are motivated to do something.

Show HN: A dumb idea – neuter your whole JavaScript global scope
Back about 1980, I overslept, missed a train, and hitchhiked from the Washington Beltway to a town in western Pennsylvania, all in two rides. Again, I am large white and male.

The following year, I was riding to the same destination with an uncle and cousin, when my uncle pulled over for a hitchhiker. My uncle had served in the Navy in WW II, and had certainly hitchhiked in those days.
Nice! I am going to use this concept to solve problems "that can only be done in Javascript." Can't wait to confuse and delight the designers.
> "is a huge advantage over Rust for mission critical and safety critical areas"

There's no C/C++. They are entirely different languages (even if C is supposed to be a subset).

Not exactly suitable for mission critical systems. The fact that they are used for that is more due to the fact that they can interface with hardware at a fairly low level and the amount of engineers with C (and nowadays, C++) knowledge.

The 'formal' standard doesn't help you much when there's so much undefined behavior.

Tool availability is a fair point.
De facto evidence that HTML is a programming language is right here on the computer screen. Arguments premised on turning the ought's of should's into is's are collectively considered fallacious. The fallacy goes by a variety of names including "is-ought fallacy", "naturalistic fallacy" and "definist fallacy".

That Turing completeness is a property of some programming languages does not imply that all programming languages are Turing complete or that Turing completeness is an essential property of computing languages. The assumption that the extents of Turing Complete languages are identical to the extents of Programming Languages requires some evidence in support.

Programming languages for describing state machines need not be Turing Complete and their implicit avoidance of the Halting Problem make them useful in practice
Yes, usually on a limited or very limited schedule.

FTA: "At the heart of the Dash is a USI (Avnet) 850101. The 850101 is a combination wireless module (Broadcom BCM43362) and micro controller (ST Microelectronics STM32F205). This makes the Dash capable of connecting to 802.11 b/g/n networks with its 120MHz ARM Cortex-M3 processor. It also happens to be exactly the same chip used inside the $19 Spark Photon."

Avnet USI is just repackaging the chipset on behalf of ST and Broadcom. Honestly, there are other things you can order today if you don't want to wait for this one. You could try adafruit, sparkfun, or even digikey.

I personally recommend the modules from LS Research.

Is Hacking P-values Even a Thing? A Robust Meta-Analysis
Firefox 38 released
I think that I perhaps had unrealistic expectations. I have a CS degree and think of things like for loops and basic manipulations of data, say the kind of thing that would happen in a .erb or whatever template file to be required for anyone doing front end work, but the only people able to do that weren't able/willing to do anything on the visual side that wasn't explicitly called out in a photoshop comp.

If you're on the frontend I expect you to act as a bridge from the server to the user and have some feet in both worlds. At least being able to understand controller code, etc, but with the JS-wow hotness of the day there seems to be a desire to put a hard line on both sides and only deal with comps that a designer has given and and API docs from the backend dev. I don't think this works in any midsized or smaller company.
This obviously depends on culture, but I think the majority of men and women marry a partner with the same socioeconomical status as themselves.

The highly-visible counter-examples tend to come from fields with high gender imbalance, like your stereotypical doctor-nurse or boss-secretary matchups.

I think it's reasonable to posit that this effect would be weak or non-existent in an equal society.
Generation Hipster (making ironic satire before it was cool)
It doesn't seem aligned to you having read the body of your text, but something I had a knee-jerk reaction to as an answer to 'future-proof' is Mainframe, COBOL, DB2. Yes, even today. Backed by a strong business understanding, these are great skills.
A formal standard that has undefined behavior and is apparently difficult to implement a compiler for. It seems C++ is popular for mission critical software despite its standards.
Especially in need of feedback from mobile users and anyone with an interest in accessibility.

Can confirm about IBM. Dad spent the majority of his career at IBM as an engineer working on various mainframe platforms (and some AS/400 stuff later on); he mentioned that in the 70's an IBM check was about as good as gold; they were all promised pensions and that they'd be taken care of out into retirement, hence why there were many "lifers" like dad. The culture back then was such that if you changed jobs every single year, "there must have been something really wrong with you, since you couldn't hold a job down." Fast forward to the late 2000's and IBM had kind of been turned on it's head; Dad was real close to retirement and hoping to get out with a pension while he still could but got cut a year before he could retire, when IBM moved a huge swath of it's big iron resources to Indian firms, which is a hell of a shame. I've met a lot of these guys, and while it's unfortunate that many of them can't adapt, I think there's a serious lesson to be learned here, as they got pretty screwed by their employer. This is the reason unless I have some very personal involvement in something I'm doing, I won't break my back for my employer, I won't work 80 hours a week, I won't deal with someone jerking my chain, because you better bet few (if any) employers will ever do the same for you, and I'd hate to get later into life like that and realize I committed a huge part of my life uncompensated to an organization that didn't ever really care about me. I think that's at the root of what has torn a lot of these guys (and gals) up, is that's not how it was seen 40-50 years ago.
"The xenophobic uncle has seen more than you and may well be the wiser man. Sometimes the country on the other side of the border is the enemy."

Open source has also cut many jobs and devalued salaries, but many don't see it this way. As businesses get more tech savvy (which is happening fairly quickly), they realize that they don't have to pay software engineers to build software any longer. They can take open source, which many engineers and good developers toiled away on for years, and pay what I call a 'software mechanic' considerably less money (and they don't need nearly as much experience) to add features to it. It makes outsourcing very easy and a realistic option.

I predicted this 10 years ago when everyone said free software was the future and Stallman somehow thought that all developers would become government workers (his dream was to have all software "free" and have the government pay developers salaries for the good of everyone).

I just don't understand why people in the tech community try so hard to give all of their leverage away to big companies.

Reading some of the comments about child care makes me think that we have perverted the way we raise our children.

Isn't it plain backwards to send a kid to child care and go to work to pay for it? Unless you are earning an awful lot of money at your job, it doesn't feel right. It just makes so much sense to me to have one of the parents stay at home with the kids, spending most of this beautiful time together.

Heck, I want to have kids soon, but first I want to figure out how to earn enough money to maintain my family being the only earner + not working more than 30-32 hours a week. This could mean having a lot less money at the end of month, but it's temporary until the little ones are a bit older.

My parents owned a house in Milwaukee. They paid $30,000 or so for it, in 1980. They sold it for $30,000 or so, in 1988. It's still worth $30,000 or so. This scenario was repeated hundreds of thousands of times in Milwaukee alone.

My parents paid $80,000 for a house in 1988. They haven't sold it, but it's probably worth around $200,000 today, which is an increase very slightly higher than the rate of inflation.

House prices (or, more significantly, house/land/building-permission bundles) where demand exceeds supply (in the US, generally rich coastal areas with tight zoning) are determined by available credit. House prices elsewhere are determined by marginal construction cost.

There are a lot of additional complications, many involving the use of single-family-only zoning and the cost of new construction as an implicit or explicit mechanism of segregation in the fair housing era.

I've also seen people do things that offer no benefits to others but makes themselves unhappy. Either the person was acting irrationally or there was some benefit from being unhappy. If the latter, then helping someone else may have been the best way to lower one's own happiness. (As to why someone wants to be less happy, it can get dark fast. Look into why people will cut themselves to see rational reasoning for deliberately harming oneself.)
I wonder if that really matters all that much. It could be my limited perspective talking, but fiber seems pretty future-proof. Nothing is faster than light; the only conceivable improvement would be cables that can handle wider spectrum of light.

(The nodes on the other hand, of course, are continually improving)

Ethernet cable is a similar story. NICs have advanced tremendously, but Cat5 (defined in 1991) is still usually all you need.

I think it depends on the device. I'd wager that most carrier-branded handset variants are indeed set up to only allow updates pushed by the carrier but I'm not sure that applies to everything. I believe iOS updates can still be initiated by the user. I'm not experienced with iOS on Verizon so I don't know if they managed to screw that up too but as far as I know, Apple has held firm on that front.

I don't use Verizon but friends who do tend to complain that they are often stuck waiting for updates. Even when the unbranded version of a handset has updates available, there is no easy way to install them on a Verizon phone due to locked bootloaders and such. If the VZW variant has different hardware, then even a standard factory image won't do you any good since they will be built for the "everyone else" version.

I really do feel for people whose only choice is Verizon. At least with AT&T you can usually just buy the standard hardware and pop in your SIM to avoid carrier obstructionism. With VZW, they really get you by the short hairs.
Reading Earth’s Destiny in the “Blood Spatter” Around Other Stars
OK, something I am intimately familiar with. A few things:

1.) The A/V conference room controls space bores customers and is full of competitors. We are generally not excited about your products. I go to conferences full of A/V vendor booths and they are always the least busy booths.

2.) Publish practical, genuinely interesting, buzzword free articles/blogs about how your product can fulfill our needs, but somehow there's a dozen of you.

3.) Develop genuine customer advocates. If your product is legitimately useful, you should not have problems finding them.

For ideas on how to go about this, look at how Aerohive[1] does their publicity and their relationships with customers like Bradley Chambers[2]. Develop the edge over all your competitors by mastering practical applications and social media.

C++ also suffers from having become, essentially, three separate languages rolled into one:

- "C with classes" that adds basic object-oriented features to C

- A full-featured, compiled OO language similar to Java

- A high-level language capable of generating low-level code at compile time (template metaprogramming)

I don't think a person can become adept at all three simultaneously without essentially devoting themselves exclusively to C++. The language would be better served by concentrating on the middle. Roll the first one into the C standard and spin the third off into a separate standard, thus creating a low level -> high level continuum.

I left a comment on Reddit that I'll adapt here. It's really intended at the Rust community specifically, but I think the message is still worthwhile anyway:

Not everyone is going to like Rust. That's totally okay.

I've seen language communities, especially newer ones where people are particularly passionate, essentially turn into... this is a bit strong, but mini-cults. Where if you don't like the language, you're obviously an illliterate pleb who needs to learn how to code. This ends up creating an insular, backwards, dangerous culture. I'd prefer a culture of "we're doing cool stuff, I hope you like it, but reasonable people may not, and that's okay."

I'm not really speaking about any particular language here, please don't try to 'figure out who I'm talking about' or something.

While it's true that the author may have only breifly tried Rust, and not tried to understand design choices, this is going to be the first of many, many blog posts like this as we grow after 1.0. The vast, vast majority of programmers haven't even tried Rust yet. Flamebait blog post titles are a standby of today's programmer culture. We shouldn't get too hung up on it, and instead, focus on doing cool stuff with the people who do get it.

The other important points influencing the decision were the amount of time spent examining the hard drive and extensive detail of the search.

"...that wherever the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals eventually draws the precise boundary of a routine border search, or however either Court ultimately defines a forensic – as opposed to a conventional – computer search, this search was qualitatively and quantitatively different from a routine border examination, and therefore, it was unreasonable given the paucity of grounds to suspect that criminal activity was in progress."
> I also find it funny that this sort of illegal government activity actually caught someone selling weapon parts

All it said was that he was selling accelerometers, which could be used in a variety of things (i.e. autonomous vehicles, commercial aircraft, etc.):

The defendant was accused of unlawfully selling Q-Flex Accelerometers—models QA-2000-10, QA-2000-20, and QA-3000

There was no statement of intent (in the article at least), so saying these were to be used for weapons seems a bit premature.

Honestly you should get a book. After you go through enough web resources you realize a pattern of dropping off after only scratching the surface of a topic, and books really help you to solidify the knowledge.

>and descriptions that are not representative of the job they're trying to hire for.

The position is described as a UX engineer and designer, and the applicant is expected to be experienced with JS and various frameworks for it.

The story seems to be more about a person who can't read and feels entitled to a job position they're not fit for. They were unable to display knowledge of basic for loops and conditionals and they were unable to convert a timecode string into seconds. Both of which are basically tests for "does this person even understand programming". Which they obviously don't because they wrote "OMG MATH" to a problem consisting only of the most basic logical concepts.

Maybe next time they should apply for a job that doesn't require programming knowledge.
The reason for this being that Google results penalize sites that show content to the crawler and then hide it from people who visit the page (ie non-subscribers). If they want it in the index, it has to be actually viewable.

The alternative would be to not show paywalled content to Google's crawlers, and have them entirely left out of search results.

I guess my flippant answer is "Yes." My less flippant answer is that autos are one of the few personal purchases that US consumers usually have to negotiate a price for. (Of course, many people regularly negotiate as part of their jobs.)

"Should" car purchases be negotiations? Well, they aren't at all dealers or with all brands but it's the way things have evolved in the US generally. I don't consider it right or wrong in some general sense; it's just the way things are. And there are other options for those who choose not to negotiate although they probably won't be quite as good a deal as an aggressively negotiated and shopped around for purchase.
