> I've seen posts with 3pts get into the Top 10 for whatever reason
I always thought it was to inject more freshness into the front page, and that certain 'authentic' users (no single-domain or all-the-things upvoters) had the power to lend more credibility to a new submission.
Why does the colour matter? Indians are varied in colour. I took the extra information to be a point of reference with regards to the reward of $10,080: that is a hefty sum for local IT workers in that country. Good on that person.
> we're not all xenophobic Trump supporters, not even most of us.
Please, leave your virtue-signalling to reddit. We come here for a break from the partisan poo-throwing.
As an aside, the article is about China, which, like much of Asia, isn't that welcoming of outsiders. In even the most die-hard 'conservative' circles, you can become an 'honorary' Texan/American/whatever and be privy to all dealings and goings-on, but it's really, really hard to do the same in China (especially if you're black or white, and doubly so if your mandarin isn't native). You just won't get into many circles.
I leave with this: the US election, to an outsider like myself, is interesting in that many Americans claim any supporters of the other candidate must support their platform 100%. Such an ignorant view. Some people choose Trump for trade, some choose Hillary for a no-surprises, effective office from day 1 (whether or not they see themselves agreeing with the results of her work).
There will be community-driven pattern sharing. If a pattern gets 3 'plus' votes, it goes to a mod/admin who approves it for distribution to everyone.
I don't mind ads though. Static ads after the first paragraph, with a minimal-size fetch (or, upon sensing prolonged reading on a second article, pre-cached and bidded out during that user's reading) will ensure a snappy experience.
I'm wondering the same. Of you look at the books being listed in this thread, though, it's apparent there is little fiction or other material to truly savour: everything is skim-friendly.
You could probably get through one of these a week while on the elliptical or during your commute.
I wish people would qualify their posts with relationship status and employment type. If you have a partner whom you value, and are in the formative months (pre-alpha) of a start-up as a main developer (or hybrid, or one-man operation), is it really beneficial for so much new information to be making its way into your head?
An opinionated framework allows you to just get on with things! Like with programming. Finally deciding on a JS stack is one of the best feelings you'll have. The terror of even dishing out cursory glances toward the next shiny thing... yikes.
"I don't eat sugar this month" is very easy to announce internally. Also, once you have ticked off a few days, continued adherence is much easier.
Fasting != intermittent fasting. You're not abstaining for weeks.
A meal can take take 24 hours or longer to digest (especially when it's a 'feast').
It's not unusual for people to gain weight during Ramadan (they don't break their' fast' with green pea soup).
If it's your first day (of your life) adjusting your food intake pattern, maybe there is a performance hit.
I'm not Muslim but I fast for fitness reasons much of the year. More focus, more strength, euphoria.
Eating takes a lot of energy. I now work for myself but when I was at a multinational finance company, I could see the post-lunch drain bring down 90% of people on my floor.
I would be worried about the pilot that ate three slices of pizza before getting on the plane!
Why is storage an issue? With databases, for example, you store data upstream (on the host) and keep the dockerised app/thing mostly stateless, or at least capped with regards to storage. More details about your environment would be appreciated.
It's not about sync vs async. It's about performance. People who take up pomodoro-type work tracking are surprised at how hard it is sometimes to get 25 minutes of work done.
I know many people who perform their best when they are training somebody in a system, or are recording training, or doing a webinar. Pair programming evokes the same improvements, and it lasts.
When you're being watched you're more present, and you perform better. I would say that pair programming, assuming no huge personality friction, is more than twice as effective as single programming. There are some companies that only do pair programming, most likely because of this realisation.
Pick a spot where it's hard to be objectively productive, e.g. on the elliptical at the gym (hard to code), or train (uncomfortable if packed train, too much stimulus). Read there. When you are home, work.
Personally, I don't track time spent reading, unless it's to understand how to solve a specific problem.
I think the great majority of people should read these books - in a matter of hours they can be a fly on the wall. Mistakes cost money and time. Also, most people aren't around people who have had success in this avenue, so being 'around' the authors does help to make their goal real.
Oh, it has proper Virtual DOM now? I'll have to check it out. We've been using React for a Web app that needs to render and completely re-render (new columns etc.) lots of data - no hot updates - Vue was frustratingly slow (5-10 seconds), to the point where we initially had to use an isolated vdom solution (Snabbdom) that became messy fast. React is amazing, so not sure if we'll end up going back to Vue for anything data-driven (tabular).
As somebody who previously was in charge of a large (tens of thousands of staff) finance company's Asia Pacific IT workforce, I looked at dozens of Filipino CVs for new remote hires (we were moving away from India).
The salary the worker was expecting was often written in the resume directly ("Expecting no less than 40,000 peso a month"). All of the figures were higher than what they would net, because of the overhead of the remote office in Manila that acted as local HR and a place to work).
Only one resume I looked at didn't have a photo insert on the front page. Only a few didn't mention religion and hobbies. These are asides. Salary was $400 US per month for programmers working full time (we paid $1200 including the "HR/seat/office fee" - we were to look at coworking spaces in the future).
All the staff travelled roughly 70-95 minutes each way - we offered remote (at-home) work if their conditions were ok, but most didn't have a decent computer, had no aircon, had noise issues and couldn't guarantee an unoccupied room for six hours per day at least, so the risk was too high, given that we were tipped off that any worker could eventually try to incorporate something else on the side [part-time remote job] and do both at once, appearing present on IM but half-assing two jobs). We decided that an office with a roaming/snooping manager was a necessity in our early testing stages.
From speaking with many people in that country, average wage is definitely lower than you might even think. Management is the way to earn better money over there in IT. Salaries, if they exist, for non-corporate staff are probably abysmal all over Manila. There will always be somebody willing to work for less, fresh out of university.
There are so many versions of jquery, and so many cdns, that most likely 70-90% of visitors don't have your specified jquery file cached. So yes, I believe it does matter. Jquery isn't something understood to be special to a browser, wherein the http requests would go through a special "see if any jq of the required version is cached" process.
But doesn't meditation impede that little thought machine that runs in most programmers' heads? What has put me off meditation a little bit was reports of people no longer getting those algorithmic lightbulb moments at the gym or elsewhere AFK, which then makes keyboard time more productive. My best business and life ideas have happened while I wasn't in the 'moment' of whatever I was doing, and instead highly absent and still in code/entrepreneuring/brainstorming mode (whether I knew it or not). I don't know if it's worth giving up all those moments to experience life on a deeper level (I'll regret writing this).
Especially considering this is consistent with not identifying the device beyond headers sent etc. and you can't just use an IP address to map the timezone as it may be shared at the tower/exchange kilometres away (DSL) or hundreds of kilometres away (wireless/cell) and cross timezones.
The best strategy is to suggest the [timezone|local shop|city name|whatever] and prompt for confirmation.
They can analyse the frames in a timeline and skip ahead for changes, also analysing the audio file for transients. In fact, what's to stop them just watching on 4x speed?
