null | milesrout | null | >From there I imagined *.install files, with a standard manifest on where to unload its contents into the file system/registry. No more deb, msi, exe, etc. Could even have cross platform installers in a single file!
Well that's pretty much exactly what .deb does. .deb and .rpm and all that, they all started off as 'tell the system to put X file at Y position'. But it turns out that in existing systems you have to do extra stuff, like run commands to register with particular programmes, etc. And then you want to include dependency information. etc. And it's really how you do all those things that causes incompatibilities. I suppose the difference is that in your scheme, you store all those files in the file, as blobs, and then compress the resulting .sqlite3 file.
For a brand new fresh operating system, yeah of course your idea would be wonderful, although honestly there's no real reason that you can't do that with plain text. It's not like you need to be able to efficiently query a .install file. It's not going to have millions of rows (if it does, you're doin' it wrong).
The idea of audio and video containers is nothing new: that's exactly what .mp4 and .mkv are: containers. They can contain video and audio streams in a variety of different formats.
I suppose the real advantage of this is more self-describing data. Except it probably would end up, in this world with all our existing technology, just being a self-describing collection of binary blobs rather than binary blobs hunked together in some predefined container format.
>All the zip, tar, rar, formats... now they're just *.archive files with a meta bit saying what encryption was used on the blob.
I don't really see how this one works. So you've got essentially the same data - the same, compressed data - inside something that just ends in `.archive`, meaning you need to use some sort of program to tell what it is, instead of it just saying `.tar.gz` at the end to tell you? | null | 0 | 1491290732 | False | 0 | dft2dnn | t3_63adw4 | null | null | t1_dfsp0dp | null | 1493780701 | 5 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | shinazueli | null | My local market corresponds to the largest market for SW engineers in the world. I personally spent 7 months unemployed after college begging anyone on earth to let me write code for a paycheck. I've had multiple friends with the same experience. I know several co-workers that *could not find* comparable jobs at all, and were either forced into early retirement or to contract at severe wage discounts.
There is zero shortage of labor. There is a disconnect between what "market rate" means. Hint: it's nowhere near what some employers think it is. Go on Glassdoor and see if your pay rates match what's being reported in the area, within a few thousand. Chances are, if you aren't finding talent, it's because either your area sucks or your offer sucks. Sometimes both. If the company wants me to move out where they're my only choice in the industry (thus severely hampering my future income prospects and job security), or they want me to move to one of the highest COL areas in the country and commute 90 minutes each way, then the pay better match up.
And if you want someone with 3-5 years of experience in a framework that's only been out for three years for a code monkey entry level job contracting with no benefits and no remote work in a commute area, die in a fire.
Most job postings I see have absolutely absurd experience requirements for the work involved. **Absurd**. *Ridiculous*. There's no reason an NCG couldn't do that work, other than the fact that it's apparent to anyone on the inside that the intent is to go get an offshore dev that has "experience" fucking up my code. Especially when I sit and hear the discussions about how we simply aren't going to hire (locally) because it's financially not possible, and I see dozens of open reqs for offshore devs in the system being filed. I actually see it, with my own eyes. I know people and have referred them and get told $$$$$. Yeah. It happens. Or when we have layoffs and my team gets smaller with no reduction in work or scope or timeline, but the following week **new teams** are being formed offshore. Totally not replacing them, that's *unrelated* work, it just *happens* to be the same exact code the people who spent 10 years writing worked on. Total coincidence.
I spend literally 3/4 of my day either cleaning up the mess they make in my code base or preventing them from checking it in in the first place. And it's not like I'm super experienced. Anyone with an ounce of common sense, a degree, and the ability to read could do it, given a small amount of training that corporations seem to feel "costs too much". Yeah, it's so much cheaper to hire 3 Eastern European or Indian devs and rewrite everything they touch. Yup, we don't have any local talent, but hey, the execs got a stock bonus and I get a 14 hour day because *that cocksucking idiot who can't be bothered to use a compiler or learn the language of the country he lives in broke the build again.*
There's a reason why I say regulation and legislation are basically the only hope we as a country have. I won't be able to finish a career the way things are going, because although I recognize that engineering is a craft in the truest sense of the word, and takes years to learn and master, I'll never be able to compete with executives getting stock bonuses for replacing me with someone that earns 1/6 of my salary. Yeah, I'm probably ten times more valuable than them, but that only affects the *future* executive, not the one making the call and getting the bonus **right now**. | null | 0 | 1491291218 | 1491293236 | 0 | dft2k1i | t3_637m7q | null | null | t1_dft12zu | null | 1493780787 | 2 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | slaymaker1907 | null | I don't think that SQLite is a one stop shop for application file formats. While I can certainly see advantages for formats where something needs to be manipulated by many processes since it is file based but may be cached in memory, JSON is quite nice for file formats since there are so many existing utilities for JSON serialization.
Furthermore, while SQLite can of course be queried using various tools, I love being able to open up a file in a plain text editor.

null | mrevil_tx | null | This. This is exactly how the outsourcing companies that specialize in HxB Visas manage to stay busy robbing Americans of high salaried positions.
The available talent pool is full of absolutely qualified and even over qualified talent for 99.8% of every technical position open in America.
These America hating outsourcing and consulting firms use the same deceptive descriptions and excuses to justify bringing in unqualified immigrants that have to be trained while making less than the American counterparts displaced.
They use loopholes and the bare minimum as noted in the requirements of finding local qualified employees.
Examples of what's covered during the consulting phase when HR departments are being taught how to maximize their profits by utilizing visas:
Ads for positions are posted in a local rag for the shortest specified time span that meets the minimum requirements.
The qualifications for the position are exaggerated
The salary posted will be entry level while requiring a highly specific level of experience, education, and certifications in order to ensure no one will apply that would meet the criteria.
The contact information will have a phone number that's directed to a voice recording, or the wrong extension will be posted, or an email address created that will basically be ignored.
There's more, but you get the idea.
These actions are done to ensure that no American who is qualified will see the posting, ignore it, and/or find it incredibly difficult if not impossible to contact the hiring manager or recruiters.
After 30 days of this, if no one answers or meets their requirements, they then present their efforts as proof that they require importing talent.
In reality, it's basically an indentured servitude economic slavery system ensuring that the imports will do what they are told, take the salaries without any real raises, and will show up on time every day or risk being shipped back.
The entire system needs to be shutdown and only extreme cases allowed while the system is overhauled with anti-abuse mechanisms in place as well as industry agreed requirements to ensure that Americans are getting the jobs that they qualify for it can be apprenticed like they are willing to do with imports. | null | 0 | 1491292684 | False | 0 | dft328q | t3_637m7q | null | null | t1_dfsx6xg | null | 1493781030 | 5 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | my_two_pence | null | His fundamental argument, that you always have a trade-off between execution speed and productivity, is flawed imo. It is certainly possible to have both high productivity *and* high execution speed, if you design the language well. This is the reason Google invented Go. It's the reason Mozilla invented Rust. This modern trend of old-fashioned statically-typed AOT-compiled languages but with modern, powerful abstractions has shown this premise to be false.
Additionally, I consider Python to be a good language for small tools and one-off batch jobs, but very unproductive for anything larger than around 1000 loc. Beyond that, I find the dynamic typing and general lack of structure to be prohibitive. I've on several occasions spent days chasing a bug caused by someone sending the wrong type of object into a function, which due to duck-typing only triggered the bug 20 files away (but only if the stars happened to align that day). The call site could even have been correct when it was written, as such a bug can be caused by someone making a breaking change somewhere else without even realizing it. If it were any statically typed language it would have been a compiler error instead, and those three days could have been productive. Python is a write-only language in my book.

It's definitely the social problem that the person is ready to do some extremely bad things just to hide that he masturbates. Do we really need to hide so many facts about ourselves? Do we really need so much privacy? Maybe there is no need for passwords at all, like Stallman said? Maybe you should not hide things that you are ok to do, and you should not do things that you are not ok to reveal.
And it's also valid in case of bigbiz. How much does Rad Hat spend on security while they code is publicly available? Do you need so much security measures while your code is free?

null | VanshngMedtr | null | Actually it will. You see when they don't have the option of training people in India for pennies and then bringing them here on H1b they have to pay more. Higher pay means more incentive for people to become programmers. In my original field, there were so few qualified people that they started a whole campaign to try to find more in hopes of driving down pay. They even targeted kids in grade school that were good at math and tried to convince them to become an actuary when they grew up.
Indians in general are less qualified. Their education is less well rounded and the population has an average IQ more than one standard deviation below normal. The only reason they are tapped so hard is because of devalued currency. A programmer in India makes 6k a year, which is ok for them because cost of living is so low. If they come here and make only 60k a year, they can live cheap and send the excess home so their family can live like kings. Therefore they are grateful to work 80 hours a week at pay half of what programmers used to make.
And since there is now a collection of code templates and engrams, the job doesn't even require the same level of creativity that it used to.
