> Then there's the issue of negation. "if P then Q" negated is "if not Q then not P".

No, "if P then Q" negated is "P and not-Q"

"If not-P then not-Q" is the inverse of "if P then Q".

"If not-Q then not-P" is the contrapositive of "if P then Q".

S is true -> the negation of S is false
-> the contrapositive of S is true
-> (nothing at all about the inverse of S)

I am not sure what you call "auto-vectorization".

The auto-vectorization that I know of is the ability of a compiler to batch several scalar operations of a sequential loop into one single vector operation (SSE). There is still only one processor/core at work, but it processes several items at once.

OpenMP is a standard to ease multithreading, to use several parallel threads (cores) without the trouble of creating threads by hand.

Edit: SIMD auto-vectorization directives are part of OpenMP 4, released 2 years ago.

I don't know about the values (though buying less and repairing more seems smart to me?) but I think the popularity is more because patagonia was the first company to make down coats that actually fit people nicely and didn't look like space suits. or if they weren't, then they were the first company to get such products in front of my face. that's the only reason I started seeing them everywhere and got one myself. also for a hip fashion brand, the prices aren't any higher than what you'd find at some other outerwear retailers like ll bean that target the grandpa demographic.

And considering that anything less than 12 random chars now can be broken in hours... I really don't know what companies think when they expect us to write "white", "1977" as a complete password substitute.

And lots of companies like to screw you in many different and inventive ways using this crap. For example Apple - they asked me for two security questions during registration (and I wrote it down of course), then at some point they added a third one with some random answer that I didn't fill. So now I have to open page with question a few times to get both of the questions that I did fill in and not one known and one not.

I'm with you, flexbox is definitely a step in the right direction.

It's not so much the naming as it is just wrapping your head around these things. The flexbox spec for instance uses margin-left: auto; on one of the children elements of a flexbox to align the element to the right!!! edge.

What in the world...

Here's the link: http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-flexbox/#auto-margins

That can't be right, and yet it's in the spec.

What happens when you want the elements on the left to be centered but have one element on the very right? Oh that's right, that whole example no longer works.

It's these hacky solutions that ultimately drive me crazy. Look at sticky-footer: https://philipwalton.github.io/solved-by-flexbox/demos/stick...

The footer is not at the bottom of the page if you copy-paste his code. What in the world...

You have to run around until you come upon needing: html, body { width: 100%;
height: 100%;
margin: 0; }

for the footer to actually be on the bottom of the page like a footer should be. What on earth is the value of width and height by default if not 100% btw? Lol...

I don't even remember how I came upon that but it's not in solved by flexbox and not on the mozilla site. Which makes me think wow, have these guys even written a layout with a proper footer and a content area that doesn't have a hard-coded height?

That's what mozilla has, a hard-coded height in their fkn example of using flexbox. So when you try to change it to be stretchy, nothing works because you need the line above. Joke...

Anyhoo it's Friday, I need a drink :) Sorry for the attitude.
Income can be skewed, but also note that employers will often under-report the level of the position that the applicant is working.

This is part of the strategy to get through application approval, since one of the criteria for approval is whether or not the person is making more than the average salary for citizens working the same SOC job in the region.

You're probably basing this prediction of your actions on your optimistic worldview, your resources, employment, and your connections. Some people only start with half of that, and don't know what to do when it starts slipping away.

I've seen a music player where the play button was on the bottom left corner but if you wanted to skip the track or pause - the buttons were on the right. If you wanted to load a new directory to play music from you had to use "black magic" (read: hotkeys) of "ctrl+u" to open a prompt that asked for the directory to read from. As you might imagine - the UX was terrible.

I find Reid's prognostications quite fascinating. Mostly because they take similar inputs that I have experienced and pull out a different conclusion.

For example I see small companies as much more 'family like' than he does. However my understanding of the word 'family' is not 'fruit of my loin' sort of family, rather of a group with a higher than average social awareness of the peer members. Mostly I want people to treat each other "like family" because if someone is going through a painful divorce and their work output is suffering, I'm not inclined to kick them to the curb. Especially if they were a solid performe before.
> "They know that employers want loyalty," Hoffman says. "They know they want to hear, 'Oh, I plan on working here for the rest of my career.'

When asked about where I wanted to be in my career by my boss (boss' boss actually), I was honest about having my resume out there and looking for other opportunities outside my current company. Now, I've heard from other sources a promotion that was possible in my future has been basically pulled.

Honesty is not a good policy. Keep lying.

Everyone says they want the truth, but if you are told you're not doing meaningful work, the justification for your job is vanity metrics, and the guy with less experience than you who does terrible work makes more money than you, how happy would you be?

If you told management, you're using the position and any promotion as a jumping off area for a newer better job at a different company, how happy would management be?
The longer my career gets, the more I realize this to be true. This also has the added disadvantage that the employers take the employees lightly. In a family, the head of the family has more power than others. If employers considered an employee's duration at the company more as a contract, then they would also work harder to keep the other party satisfied with the contract. Unfortunately, the relationship is tilted in favor of the employer due to the fact that a loss of employment generally has worse consequences for the employee that for the employer.

A lot of this rings true from my days working in hotels. You could work for Marriott or Starwood and hop between brands, but still be a part of that company. If you jump ship some people would get awkward and not know if they should talk to you. It's the strangest thing I've seen. At the same time it made the 6mo - 18mo tenures in startups seem super small and non-comital. Maybe it's more of an issue with larger companies.

Not happy, and why would they? Flip it around, how happy would you be if you knew they were out there shopping around for your replacement? Only keeping you so long as they didn't find someone better?
I briefly evaluated a move to Silicon Valley. But after calculating that I was going to pay twice as much for half as much house, quadruple my commute, and have to send my kids to a lower quality (or private) school; the decision was made for me. My rough estimate was that I'd have to make about $300K/year to make it worth it.

It comes down to how you present it. If you tell a high level manager that you're shopping around for a better gig, you're basically waving a big flag that says "don't invest in me." You can have a conversation about your career direction without including the part where you've sent your resume out everywhere already.

Loyalty is such a ridiculous thing for most companies to expect. It needs to be earned, and it's not even that complicated. Here's how you get loyal employees:

1. After some probation period, fire only as a last resort or for really terrible behaviour. Have a plan to correct behavior in all other cases.

2. No layoffs unless the firm's very existence is threatened. It's a tough year? Too bad, that's part of the risk involved in being the owner.

3. Keep pay up to market/replacement rates. If someone is 20% more valuable with his new knowledge, pay him 20% more.
4. Have good benefits/vacation policies.

5. Make sure there's lots of interesting and challenging work to do. Allow people to switch roles/teams on a regular basis if they're interested.

6. Hire good people.

That's a company I'd be loyal to, and I think a lot of others would be too. Sure, you'd get people who would leave for their own thing, or a dream job, or because their husband/wife got a job 2000 miles away, but I don't think you'd see people jump ship nearly as often.

The other stupid thing is companies trot out how much it costs to hire a new person, but never want to invest in just retaining their employees.

Slack is pretty much just IRC with an indexer, a pretty web interface, a mobile interface and a bunch of of cool datafeeds/bots. These things aren't hard to build, and many people build them internally in companies all the time.

Their value proposition isn't the technology, their value proposition is the packaging. It all just works. People actively maintain the interfaces and the GUI. They have ops teams that keep it up. The integrations are maintained and are literally plug and play. You can pretty much just sign up and within an hour its all done for not much money.

For these reasons, I have doubts as to whether or not they'd mind, regardless of IP concerns.

> Basic history of the United States is that it was, broadly, a non-interventionist nation that refused to get involved in other nations wars.

I do think the Native Americans would beg to differ. (Indian Removal Act of 1830). Furthermore, the American explicit foreign policy was "Stay out of America so that we can colonize it better". That included South America and the Central America island countries as well.

In 1878 for example, we sailed our Navy to Samosa and threatened war with Germany.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripartite_Convention

The current topic is about a trade dispute regarding the purchase of American Pesticides in Europe. America always had foreign policy and trade disputes.

Now, I agree that during the 1850s, US Foreign Relations more or less stood still. There was something called the Civil War, and we kind of didn't focus on foreign affairs.

Pretending that we were always an isolationist nation is an error! Our rise as a world power (and global politics) began almost immediately after we rebuilt during the Civil War.

Before the Civil War, America wasn't exactly powerful enough to push other nations around in global politics. But we definitely pushed the Native Americans around and expanded with Manifest Destiny, and utilized the Monroe Doctrine to keep other European Countries from settling the region. To claim the Monroe doctrine as a "isolationist" strategy misses the point of Manifest Destiny... American Ambitions to conquer all the land from east coast to west coast is evident even as early as the 1830s.

US-Mexico War, as well as other "threatened wars" (54/40 or fight), various boarder disputes with Canada.... all show the ambitions of the fledgling United States.

The concept of "Manifest Destiny" drove our foreign politics at the time. And that was _anything_ but isolationist.
