On the other hand: there is a ticket [1] asking for container-based-extensions, so something like Grammarly (aka the keylogger) could work only inside a container. It's been there for years, nothing changes. Seems like people are not interested in this kind of privacy stuff.
The good news: the CEO salary is really nice...
The software is just emulating the terminal behavior.
Your company is just a job, just a company.
What would you expect of him if you'd be in his situation? I'm sure that having a successful company would be the last thing on the list (if it was there at all).
What is provided by the city, is only some night shelter, where they can eat, sleep, and wash. The thing they don't get is a psychiatrist and psychological treatment. The Intervention Hostel provides that too.
From my perspective, one of the main problems is that, in general, people are not interested in helping those homeless people. We have problems with gathering money, there is no city support, and we also have higher costs (because of the psychiatrist and psychological treatment). We have quite nice results, but every three months we think about closing it due to lack of funds.
The thing that made me really sad was that when a couple of days ago one of Polish parliament members hit a woman and used a fire extinguisher on a hanukkah menorah, people gathered over $50k in just a couple of hours to support him.
However, when I was in USA a couple of years ago, I have never seen so many homeless people on the streets. This is really worrying and sad.
But seriously: I wish more programmers had really good background (I'm not talking about academia, but e.g. learning from many books and conference videos).
The "good practices" are often a set of ideas like "do it this way, so you won't suffer later". Nothing more. This way you can avoid mistakes made by others. Of course, you can do whatever you like and suffer later.
C is C. C++ is C++. If they are the same, well... why do they have different names?
Let's call them C/C++/Fortran OK? You can use one tool (you called it "one compiler", while in fact they are different compilers with common core) to rule them all, even in the same program... https://www.cae.tntech.edu/help/programming/mixed_languages.
I'd love to see more programmers naming things with care. This way we would have C, we would have C++. But also we would have MB when talking about megabytes, not mb (millibits, is that even a thing?).
If surgeons would have freedom to do things the way they want... in fact they have the freedom, but they rather follow the "good practices" made mainly by the retrospection after someone made a tragic mistake. But if they really would do whatever they want... let's not talk about it for now, OK?
I'd love to see here really well designed, documented, and implemented projects doing complicated stuff in simple way.
It was in Poland.
Yea... I wanted to start PhD this year. Unfortunately it turned out that the only thing that counts, are my previous and future publications. Any work experience seems like a disadvantage. They value more someone with no experience, but with a couple of, usually not very inventive, publications.
I have over 18 years of work experience. I used to make more complicated things at work, than you can find in many published papers or even PhDs. So I asked a professor about how to start it.
It turned out that: the pay is much below the minimum salary + I will be thrown away if I won't have one publication in a good journal after the first year. If you also think that after sending a paper to a journal, they usually reply in six-nine months with a rejection or a list of comments to fix... it turned out that I have to start my PhD with a bunch of papers already written. And to have them count, they need to be exactly about the same topic as my PhD.
So, after rethinking all this, I stopped dreaming about a PhD. I can publish my paper on arXiv without all the academic fun.
The other law I'm thinking about is the general rule that for every change in a contract all parties must agree. It is normal that I get a letter from my bank "We are changing the rules, here you have 30 days to say you don't agree. If you won't, we'll assume you agreed. If you won't agree, your account will be closed.". So, I can say I don't agree. Here, they just assumed I agree.
Any change, like the one Triplebyte made, is not legal here without my consent. Yet, they made it.
I'm wondering what else they would change. I don't want to wake one Sunday morning to notice that they I'm charged a couple of millions because they changed the rules during the previous night.
I'm not going to show then any of my IDs. Just no. Knowing all information from my ID here has a similar power to knowing SSN in US. Instead, I just devastated my profile. There is no real information anymore. I'm wondering about adding some longer description that I'm protesting against their change of rules. I'm wondering how they would react to this. Maybe it is the way to delete my account, who knows.
Well, the answer is obvious:
> The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.
I hope this is the good answer you support on your page.
On the other hand there is no one answer to this question, as the proper answer should begin with "it depends...". Currently, the sky is totally dark grey, storm is coming. Soon, it will be dark, so the sky will be black.
I think your "captcha" is broken.
Sometimes the public transport for such people is problematic and using taxi all the time is too expensive. Total banning cars makes a great space for the healthy ones, the rest is happily ignored. And this is sad.
I like decreasing the number of cars, not forbidding them at all.
My phone slipped into water and is not working. I liked it, huge screen, great battery life. So I took some old one I had at home. Smaller. Terrible battery. Old Android, so many apps don't work. I can only use it for calling and texting a couple of times a day. I need to save the battery. I cannot read in bed, as it's too small to be comfortable. It's small, so it fits into all my pockets.
Oh, it's so great that I'm not going to buy a new one. I feel like I don't have phone at all. I didn't know how it was slowly changing (destroying?) my life.
On the other hand: too often the "work hard, dedicate all your thoughts to this project" just means: "let the owner buy a new jet, and the manager to get a huge bonus... oh, btw. you will get fired as soon as you will show the first sign of a burn out, then we find a new one who will happily work over the weekends so we will get next car this year".
Maybe they were rather thinking about: move your money electronically, which would also include getting salary on a bank account, or wiring it there.
1. I have no idea why "hacking" aka "going fast and breaking things" is so glorified while "building good reliable programs" aka "good programming" is not.
2. How come that someone thinks of himself/herself that he/she has the right to say who is a "true hacker" and who is not.
3. AND THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX5Xy3a2uJU Thank you Jayson.
What I can see there is that for the same algorithm, the Go version was not so fast. It was comparable. The memory overhead could be caused by the size of the program, as wc has more functionalities.
Then there is compared a totally different algorithm with a false claim "this way a go implementation is faster than a c one". Sure it is, as this is a different implementation of a different algorithm. A fair comparison would be implementing the same algorithm in c and comparing then. I assume the difference wouldn't be huge.
So, generally, I think it's not a fair comparison.
Set a deadline without asking the developers. Or ask them and ignore their estimates. Or ask them and ignore that they will know after some initial checks which will take two days ("nope, we must know the deadline now") - so it's basically just guessing.
Then the deadline is "set in stone". This means only that it's a good way to punish the developers. Then they are forced to work during weekends.
At the end they are punished with bad yearly reviews, decreased bonuses etc. Sometimes some are even fired.
Then the management just moves the deadline to another, equally stupid, term. Of course they will get the full bonus "you see, the developers are lazy, but we fired the worst one".
Then the cycle repeats. The most funny thing is when the deadline is for some internal stuff where the client is fully internal and really doesn't care if the product will be this month or the next one.
Isn't it that according to the law, the refugees are allowed to get the shelter in the first country they manage to get to? In this case it's Turkey, right?
I think nobody should be writing comments here. They should be generated by some tool. So, please, be serious.
